Old formula tasted better

Comments about Nature's Gate Natural Toothpaste, Creme De Peppermint, 6 oz:
I love this toothpaste, and like that it's fluoride free, AND my checkups at the dentist have been BETTER since I started using it. My only complaint is that the new formula doesn't taste as good as the previous one. I am also confused that the box says "paraben free" (another selling point for me) but "methylparaben" is listed as an ingredient... hmm... Anyway, the previous one had a more minty flavor, but this one leaves more of a soapy after-taste.

Great Product
By Kathy
from Whitestone, NY
See all my reviews
I always had bleeding gums. Then I found out I am allergic to artificial sweeteners which are found in all commercial toothpastes. I searched high and low in health food stores for a product without artificial sweeteners. I tried many. This is by far the BEST, both in taste and effectiveness. I highly recommend this product. By the way, my gums don't bleed at all anymore, so it was definitely the artificial sweetener.

This is a great toothpaste. Works well, tastes good, and safe. I don't have to worry about what may be lurking inside (i.e., triclosan) like with conventional brands.
Brush teeth daily, preferably after each meal or twice a day.

I recently purchased this case but after using it for a few days I realized that the phone isn't snuggled perfectly in the case. It moves a little bit in the case. Maybe it's just my case but I did notice that.

| PDF 9Mb |
Man is becoming more and more concerned about his surroundings. One main reason for this is the increasing threat to the health and cleanliness of the environment on account of pollution from manifold sources. Environmental pollution is a global phenomenon causing, in many instances, rather permanent damages to the aerial, terrestrial and aquatic environments. The pollution has acquired such dimensions that the very existence of life on earth is threatened. The release into the nature, of various kinds of chemicals in the form of solids, liquids and gases is an ever increasing problem and efforts are being made all over the world, especially by the developed nations to combat it on a war footing. However due to various reasons the developing or underdeveloped countries are not able to properly conceive the seriousness of the problem and fight against it.

With the series in your Elegant section.
William H. ridicules his status as an AVN Award winner here, dressing like a fop, speaking through a bullhorn and using his boxer-clad balls to polish his trophies. It's funny stuff that goes on a touch too long, but the sex more than makes up for it with cute teener girls sucking their way into the viewer's, um, hearts.
Kayla Marie does a great blowbang in the Elegant Angel warehouse as does Kelly Kline, who has a really fabulous orgasm while getting her twat licked as she chugs cock.
Pre-nom this for Best Oral Release.

I don't want to compile php from scratch. is that possible add iconv to the pre-built php bundled with LSWS and how if yes? thanks.
I think rebuild php is the easiest way. Otherwise, you need to find a iconv dynamic library matching the php version used, then load the extension from php.ini. You can checkout Zend Platform package, there are many prebuilt loadable extensions if you want, but to me, it is easier just rebuild PHP by yourself.

Inyo National Forest
Inyo National Forest Overview
A flock of phalaropes takes flight against the rising sun. An ancient bristlecone pine waves a gnarled arm into the winter sky. A black storm dumps icy droplets on the Palisade Glacier. If you want wilderness amidst 14,000-foot peaks, birding at the endangered sanctuary of Mono Lake, studying the oldest life high in the White Mountains, watching wild trout running in mountain and desert streams, you will find it, all within an hour of the Mammoth Lakes-Bishop area at Inyo National Forest.
Inyo extends 165 miles along the California and Nevada border. It totals a huge two million acres. It covers the transition zone between the eastern, dry side of the Sierra Nevadas and the western edge of the Great Basin. Inyo is set with pristine lakes, fragile meadows, winding streams, rugged peaks, and sagebrush expanses. Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States, is its crowning landmark.

Poll Debacle
Dehradun, May 19 There was speculation that the Chief Minister would offer his resignation, but he desisted from using the term at a short press conference at his residence here. He said he had informed the central parliamentary board about the facts. Flanked by state BJP president Bacchi Singh Rawat and state parliamentary affairs minister Parkash Pant, he read out a short statement, owning moral responsibility for the fiasco. Asked whether he had offered to resign, Khanduri re-read his statement, asking mediapersons to exercise caution while quoting him. Even if the CM did not say it in so many words, it is likely that he has offered to step down. The BJP lost all five Lok Sabha seats in the state to the Congress, including Pauri Garhwal, the home constituency of the Chief Minister. |
Congressmen demand Khanduris resignation
Haridwar, May 19 Congressmen and several organisations in the district have termed the loss as an upshot of the anti-public policies of the BJP state government. Members of Congress city unit, Uttarakhand Kranti Manch, Nayi Disha Apna Manch, and small vendors organizations have demanded immediate resignation of the CM after the debacle of the party in the elctions. BJP fought the elections in the name of the CM and his two-year tenure in the state. Had BJP won all the seats the credit would have gone to him, but now taking responsibility of the defeat he should step down immediately, said JP Pandey, general secretary of Uttarakhand Kranti Manch. Meanwhile, during a march carried out at Lal Taura bridge, protesters raised slogans against the CM and other BJP leaders for plunging the state into backwardness. Under the ND Tiwari regime, multinationals and national companies came to the state, but during Khanduris rule, the companies are back-tracking. Had BJP given land to TATA company, NANO would have been wholly manufactured from Pant Nagar instead of Gujarat, alleged Congress leader Sanjay Chopra. State secretary of Mahila Congress Mira Raturi said it seems now the BJP would also lose the Kapkot assembly bypoll. The internal feud between BC Khanduri and BS Koshyari will also drown BJP in KapKot assembly segment. I think Khanduri is waiting for Kapkot results before tendering his resignation, said Raturi. Among those who who participated in the march were Hitesh Sharma, Sandeep Saini, Sandeep Gupta, Om Prakash Bhatiya, Vijay Rawat, Kundan Negi, Ishwar Rana, Sanjay Chauhan, Rakesh Aggarwal, Vishal Makkad, Tej Prakash, Chotte Lal, Prabhat Chaudhari, Khusi Ram, Rajesh Verma, Om Prakash Kaliyan and ManiRam Jakhmola. |
After Dalit protest, teachers come to
Dehradun, May 19 The protesting Dalit groups had alleged manhandling of the student by a GGIC teacher and even accused the teacher of cutting the students hair. After the protest by certain Dalit groups, teachers too have come to the support of the concerned teacher, Meera Dhoni, asserting that the teacher has been wrongly framed in the case. The Uttarakhand Teacher Association has termed the charge as baseless. The association members today met the District Magistrate and demanded a probe in the matter. On May 16, Meera Dhoni, a class teacher at GGIC, was accused of ill-treating a Dalit girl-student of her class. Angry parents of the girl, along with their community members, gathered at the Clock Tower and disrupted traffic. They demanded that the administration must take action against the teacher. The matter was later reported to the police. Subsequently, the teacher was arrested. General secretary of the association SCP Lakhera said, Teachers of the district are perturbed over the incident. If Meera is denied justice, then teachers will launch a statewide agitation. We have met the District Magistrate and informed him about the whole case, said Lakhera. Principal incharge, GGIC, Kusum Uniyal, said, A false case has been registered against Meera. She did not use abusive language or caste-based remarks against the child. She may have scolded her for delay in payment of fees because the child regularly deposits fee late. She said that during police inquiry, nothing substantial came up and the allegation has been proved false. The Principals Council of the state has also backed the teacher. The president of the council KB Bharadwaj said, Just on the basis of a students complaint, a teacher should not be sent behind bars. This will send the wrong message to the public and damage their reputation as teachers. |
Helicopter services to Char Dham resumed
Dehradun, May 19 The company is operating six-seater Bell 407 helicopters to Kedarnath from Fata area of the district and carrying nearly 10 to 20 sorties everyday, official sources said here today. The government-owned Pawan Hans has also followed suit by starting its service for Kedarnath from Fata area. The company is also planning to start special charted flights to Badrinath and Kedarnath shrines from Sahastradhara helipad in Dehradun next week. The helicopter services to Hemkund in Chamoli district will also begin when the shrine reopens next month. The chopper service to Hemkund, the famous Sikh shrine, will start from Govindghat area of Chamoli district. The government is in talks with both Pawan Hans and other private airlines in this regard. The pilgrimage to Kedarnath has been hampered after hundreds of horses and mules developed equine influenza last fortnight. PTI |
Ruskin Bond turns 75
Mussoorie, May 19 Bond, whose books and short stories have tremendous following amongst youngsters, celebrated the occasion at the Cambridge Book Depot on the Mall road. Despite a heavy shower in the evening, which delayed the function by about half an hour, hundreds of fans queued up outside the bookstore to wish him. I love all the books by Ruskin Bond and today I have come from Dehradun to meet him personally, said Shivam. Amid loud cheers, Bond cut the cake and later interacted with youngsters. Hundreds of copies of various works of Ruskin Bond were sold out on the occasion. Due to his great love and affection for children, Bond was seen personally signing all of them. It was great to meet Ruskin Bond; he is my favourite author, said Piyush, a young fan. Notably, Ruskin Bond has been writing for over 60 years now and is well-known for his short stories. His simple yet fascinating style has made him very popular amongst youngsters. Bond has also written books based on his childhood experiences in Mussoorie and Dehradun. Currently he is writing a story for a Bollywood movie. Among those present at the function today included the local MLA, Jot Singh Gunsola, historian Gopal Bhardwaj and Ganesh Saili. |
Indian System of Medicine
Haridwar, May 19 Realising the benefit of natural therapies, the Russian government is working hard on tie-ups under exchange programmes so that Russian medical students get to know these therapies better. The Russians are also keen to understand Vedic culture. The Russian health ministry and other organisations involved in the field of research have entered into a collaboration with the Dev Sanskriti Vishwa Vidyalaya (DSVV), Haridwar. Recently, the Chancellor of DSVV, Dr Pranav Pandya, returned from Russia, along with DSVV and Shanti Kunj members, where he had discussions with the head of traditional therapies and health ministry of Russia. He also signed a memorandum in this regard. Under the agreement, representatives of the Russian health department will visit DSVV under the exchange programme to learn yoga therapy, yagya therapy, pranic healing, acupressure, naturopathy, ayurveda and panchkarma. Professor of yoga AN Rajumob in the Russian ministry of health played a key role in getting Russia and India closer in this regard. The interest of Russians can be gauged from the fact that four seminars on different topics related to scientific spirituality were held at the International University of Fundamental Sciences in St Petersburg. Speaking as the chief guest, Dr Pandya said that the 21st Century is the era of scientific spirituality. Science is not complete without spirituality, he said. More than 100 Russian scientists attended the seminar and discussed spirituality at length. The International University of Fundamental Science conferred the doctorate for scientific spirituality on Dr Pandya. Alexander, a Russian professor who owns a research laboratory, signed an agreement with the DSVV to work on cow products and organic farming. |
Hindus being targeted in Nepal, alleges
Haridwar, May 19 They urged the Indian government to intervene in the matter and asked for the support of the Indian people, especially Hindus. Led by party president Vishnu Kumar Prasai, the atrocities committed by Maoists on Hindus were shown with the aid of documents, photographs and video clips. The policy adopted by the Maoist government is delineating Hindus from Nepals mainstream, the members said. The Hindu kingdom of Nepal was declared a secular country by the Maoist government led by Pusph Kamal Prachanda. This move has not gone down well with the Hindus in Nepal. Just after declaring Nepal a secular country, there has been a sudden rise in incidents of attacks on Hindus, targeting of pro-Hinduism officers, killing of saints, cow slaughter and thefts at temples, said Prasai. He met many saints here and sought their support. Mahant Swami Kailashanand Brahmachari, on hearing the state of Hindus in Nepal from HPP members, assured full support. He said that the saint community from India will visit Nepal along with Indian journalists and will expose the atrocities on Hindus in Nepal. Demanding the restoration of Nepal as a Hindu nation, party members termed it as a blow on Nepals identity. Earlier, Nepal was renowned as the worlds only Hindu nation. Besides withdrawing the worlds oldest calendar Vikram Samvat, Maoists are colluding with Christian and Muslim fundamentalists to curb Hindus, said Brij Kishore Shah, secretary of the HPP. Meanwhile, Nepal is in the throes of a political crisis which started with the resignation of its first Maoist Prime Minister Prachanda following a dispute with the Army over integrating his former fighters into the military. This had been part of the 2006 peace accord that ended the insurgency. President Ram Baran Yadav countermanded Prachandas decision to sack the army chief. As a result, Prachanda resigned. Now, the process is on to form a new government. |
Colony residents file complaint
Dehradun, May 19 The residents today gave a written request to the senior health officer of Dehradun Municipal Corporation as well as the District Magistrate in this regard. Area councilor SS Rawat has also requested immediate action as the garbage thrown towards houses on the back side of the said property may become a cause of diseases in the rainy season. The DMC health officer has assured to do the needful. A resident, Jyoti Dabral, alleged that the plan of the building had been passed by UP Avas Vikas Parishad and no commercial activity was permitted in it. We came to know about this from the information received under RTI, he said. But in violation of the related rules, its owners were renting it out for marriages, parties and other functions. The noise created during these functions, especially marriages, which last till late nights, has also made life uncomfortable for us, he added. |
150 beer crates seized
Mussoorie, May 19 According to the SO, Mussoorie, the driver of the vehicle carrying 2,400 bottles of beer has been arrested and a case has been filed against him. The SO informed that the driver was carrying two invoices with him dated May 11 and 14, but according to rules the liquor has to be transported to the destination within three hours of issuance of the invoice. This liquor was being illegally brought to a liquor shop at Gandhi Chowk here, he informed. 30 domestic LPG cylinders seized
Dehradun: The district supply authorities today confiscated around 30 domestic cylinders from the outskirts of the city. The officials confronted the miscreants while they were transporting these cylinders in a tempo in the Vasant Vihar area. The cylinders were being taken for commercial use. A case has been registered. According to District Supply Officer TN Upadhyaya, the department has regularly been taking action against persons misusing domestic cylinders. Some time back, the department had seized as many as 600 domestic cylinders that were to be utilised for commercial ends. The department had even terminated the license of a gas agency. In the cases of unauthorised ferrying of kerosene, confiscation to the tune of around 500 litres has taken place this year, said the DSO. Army official dies in mishap
Roorkee: An Army official died after being run over by a Maruti car while two others were injured when they were returning to the cantonment after their cycling training session at Peeran-Kaliyar road along Ganga canal here this morning. The deceased has been identified as Jaidev (35) while the injured officials are Bal Karan and Rakesh. According to the police, the trio used to go to the canal road for their practice. Today, when they were on their way to BEG cantonment after the training session, a speeding car hit the cyclists, said the police. The car driver drove away from the scene immediately. The injured were shifted to military hospital where Jaidev succumbed to his injuries. The police has registered a case against the unidentified car driver at Civil Lines police station. |
BHEL Community Centre bag title
Haridwar, May 19 The dribbling by the players in the defence line, high skill of forward players and the shooting by central players of the community team was the high point of the match. BHEL-A players had no answer to the superior skills of their counterparts. BHEL-A conceded easy points by giving free throws to the opposition. At the prize distribution ceremony, the players were felicitated by Vimal Kumar, general manager, HR. The winning team has got direct entry into the Inter-Shooting Ball Championship to be held in Bhopal from May 26. |

In our interconnected world, the announcement that China's exports fell 18.1% in February was all it took this morning to put downward pressure on the major U.S. indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) lost 34 points on the day, or 0.21%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.05%. The Nasdaq was unchanged.
Within the Dow, shares of AT&T (NYSE: T ) closed down 0.09%, after falling as much as 1.07% during the day. Investors were probably reacting to the news that AT&T is cutting its Shared Value Plan price from $80 to $65 per month for current customers who are no longer under a two year agreement and sign up for the new plan, or for new customers who pay full price for a phone. But as my colleague Travis Hoium explained earlier today, AT&T is essentially just changing the way it collects money from customers. I don't think shareholders have much to worry about from this move.
Outside the Dow, shares of Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY ) rose 0.43%, despite Friday's announcement of reduced earnings expectations. Blaming the weather, management cut its forecast from a range of $1.60 to $1.67 per share down to a range of $1.57 to $1.61. The company also sees revenue for stores open at least a year rising only 1.7% for the quarter, down from the previous estimate of 2% to 4%. Credit Suisse said earnings would have been in line with guidance if not for the weather, backing up management's assertions. Sometimes, things are just out of your control.
A big winner on the market today was Chiquita Brands (NYSE: CQB ) . Shares rose 10.7% this afternoon after the company announced a merger agreement with Dublin-based Fyffes. The new company will surpass Dole to become the world's largest banana company. The companies characterize the merger as a "strategy of survival," as big discount-driven retailers have put pressure on margins. The merger is likely to help for now, but as a way to survive it doesn't seem like the best long-term strategy. If trouble strikes again, there's really nowhere else to go: The new ChiquitaFyffes and Dole together will control more than half of the world's banana market.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The paper discusses the implementation and effect of group-based parenting workshops oriented by the principles of liberation psychology in a low-income, hispanicized community in Guatemala City. The objective of this initiative was not only to improve outcomes in the parent-child relationship, but to galvanize the formation of community-based support groups that could have multiple ends. The theoretical foundations of the project are introduced, before illustrating their practical application. Sixteen months post-intervention, largely positive effects were being sustained in parent child relations. The project was also successful in generating social action through the formation of grass-roots women's organizations.

Harvesters does a lot of stuff well. It has full-playability and simplicity, coupled with a simple, Redwall-esque setting. You can play it with any group you wanted to, though its simplicity and style markets itself towards children.
It doesn't have loads and loads of stuff to make it bulky (think about game systems which go to 400 pages and detail the exact effects of a Cobra Venom Poisoned Spike Trap (Lesser), which means that while it's easier to use, it's also harder to run, but if you want a game to play with a younger audience without outright alienating older audiences (assuming, of course, they're open-minded enough to take the thought of playing as talking animals seriously), Harvesters is a one-stop shop.

Castles & Crusades Where Cool Waters Run

Castles and Crusades - Where Cool Water Runs is a short stand-along encounter from Troll Lord Games for the Castles and Crusades gaming system. This encounter is suitable for 3 to 5 characters of levels 4 to 7, and sees the characters being hunted by several cunning and deadly creatures as the PCs inadvertently approach their nest. As one would expect, the encounter takes place in a single setting - in this instance a refreshing glade through which a gentle stream runs. The presentation of this product is top notch, sticking to the format maintained throughout all Troll Lord Games' products. My only quibble here is the lack of a scale on the map provided. This encounter can be used in any campaign setting, and very useful and interesting adaptations are included in the 6 page product for Troll Lord Games' own world of Aihrde.
The encounter is a fairly simple one but very well detailed to make sure that CKs will know exactly what to do with which creature and when. I thought the tactics of the creatures involved, a new creature called the charon fiend, were very good, suiting both the nature of the encounter and the details of the creatures themselves. Often the best encounters are those that use the terrain well, and some elements of that are present here. The tactics will give the PCs some thought, and make for an entertaining encounter where the PCs won't know where the threats are coming from. The charon fiends themselves are probably the best part of the product as a whole - I liked their flavor, their description and their mechanical details. I think these creatures can be both terrifying and dangerous at the same time, particularly if used with the tactics described in the encounter. One weakness of the encounter, and really with a lot of products of this nature, is that the encounter is by and large telegraphed. If the CK starts reading blocked text in a seemingly innocuous clearing, there's little doubt the PCs and the players will expect something. It would've been useful if the encounter had been scripted to not be so obvious, or at least given the characters a non-mundane reason for stopping in the clearing and hence triggering the encounter. Overall, though, a very clean and neat product with some uniqueness in the new creature involved and some decent encounter design.

A random encounter with a new creature, not particularly water-related, vividly written and (credit where credit's due) cleanly edited. I found the creature's name a little distracting, but otherwise it's a fine addition.

This is a really great system for someone that loves 3rd edition but wants something a lot simpler and easier to manage. It's also really easy to house-rule, and I think I'm going to start running this game over any other rules system from now on (and that's a big deal, because I was really sold on Pathfinder up until now). The game is just way too easy to run and understand for new and younger players, and you don't need a 600 page rulebook to play it. If you love "crunch," this probably isn't the game for you, but I don't see why you still wouldn't love playing it. Classic fantasy roleplaying at its finest!

I love Castles & Crusades! It's a really great rules system, and this book doesn't disappoint. The book is extremely well-organized and easy to read, and you can tell the author put a lot of thought into the rules. The treasure tables are quite simply some of the easiest to understand that I've ever seen. There's enough art to keep the book looking beautiful, but not so much that the pages seem cluttered. Great job, Troll Lords!

This is a solid old-school campaign, with interconnected adventures and a sandbox adventuring area and mini setting introducing players to the world to Aihrde. It really has incredible depth, tone, and material for months of gaming. An excellent product. I now also own the boxed set.

In Harvesters, players take on the roles of anthropomorphic animals who go on D&D-like adventures. It's basically Redwall meets Dungeons and Dragons. The game uses a slightly paired-down version of the Castles & Crusades rules system. It is intended to appeal to children ages 6 and up, although there's nothing here that would keep adults from enjoying it. The first half of the book contains the rules. The second half is an adventure.
I played this game with my two children; boys ages 10 and 7. They both have some experience with RPGs, having played a handful of games with me before. The bottom line is that my boys had a great time. We were up past midnight playing and Harvesters was the very first thing that my 10 year old son talked about the next morning.
I'll start with the adventure, which is really the meat of this product. The plot focuses on the mystery of a group of missing animals, who've disappeared while bringing in the all important fall harvest. The players explore the countryside, following clues to find the lost harvesters. The book details an area with lots of things for the players to encounter and explore. If the players pick up on the clues, they can go from point A to point B, skipping a lot of the superfluous regions. Alternately, they can wander around, meeting hostile snakes, a noble skunk, and other interesting creatures. With all the detail about the town of Wheat Hollow and the surrounding regions, Harvesters has the makings of an interesting little Campaign Setting. I really enjoyed what is here and I'd like to see more.
Also, I have to mention that my kids got right into the adventure setting. My 7 year-old was playing a River Otter Knight named Sir Otter. His first order of business was visiting the locale colony of River Otters, helping them fish for a while and collecting a few fish of his own to take along on the adventure (he carefully wrote "3 fish" on his character sheet). He also used his swimming ability to his advantage during the adventure. I think both kids got into the role of their specific animals.
My older son grabbed on to the plot right away. He picked up on the clues presented in the adventure and came to the right conclusion about what happened to the harvesters. He was very excited to find evidence of a wolverine's involvement (his Badger Cleric's natural enemy!) and spent the whole adventure looking around every corner for wolverines. I think this adventure is perfect for kids and mine are very eager to finish it.
The rules are pretty much copied right from the Castles and Crusades Player's Handbook, only paired-down to cover a smaller range of levels. I'm a fan of C&C and its simplicity lends itself well to a game for children. There were a couple of places, though, where the rules relied too much on the C&C books. For example, Harvesters only describes spells very briefly, forcing me to crack open my Castles & Crusades Player's Handbook to find out the distance, duration, and specific effects of various spells. The product blurb claims that Harvesters contains "all the rules you need to get started", but a GM is on his own for all but the most basic spell info.
In other places, the rules are complete but not distinct enough for my tastes. I would have really liked to see some elements unique to Harvesters. I was expecting to see clever animal-themed spells, equipment, and classes. Instead, we get the typical D&D tropes of fighters, wizards, chainmail, etc. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE those things, but it would have been nice if the game put a more distinct spin on them and made them its own. Harvesters, while certainly very playable, doesn't feel as complete as it should. It's good, but I want it to stand truly on its own and be great.
I give Harvesters 4 stars. If the idea of playing a Redwall-inspired D&D game appeals to you, or you're looking for an RPG that you can play with your kids, give Harvesters a try.

A nice, relatively straightforward, low level adventure that is perfect for when you mostly want to bash skeletons in with an ax.
That being said, there is enough detail laid out in the town and surrounding areas, including NPCs, that a campaign or a series of adventures could be built around the town and the people living there.

Tries to be "Ravenloft, but darker" and fails. Interesting use of the Castles and Crusades core mechanic and could be made to work with Ravenloft for the C&C fan. If you like dark fantasy horror and are curious about C&C then this is your game. Otherwise I was a bit disappointed in it.

Troll Lord Games has released Harvesters, their RPG with rabbits, squirrels and other furry critters in PDF format. So, what do you get for your hard earned bucks?
You get a nicely written version of the Castles & Crusades rules that are aren't going to overwhelm your kids, yet should still maintain the interests of the parents. We get most of the C&C classes represented in the rules, and advancement thru level 6. If your campaign was going to go beyond that, you'd need to reach over and flip thru the Castles & Crusades Player's Handbook.
The 66 page book includes character races, classes, spells, equipment, core rules, adversaries and even an adventure and campaign world. A lot crammed into a small number of pages.
Is it worth the price tag? If you have young kids that are interested in Role Playing Games, this might be a very good entry vehicle, especially if the GM/DM/CK is already familiar with 3.5e or any of the clones of the older D&D games (including Harvesters' direct parent, Castles and Crusades). It might even play well as a short term diversion for more adult oriented gaming groups.

Harvesters is billed as an RPG for all ages, and they recommend players be six or over. After my 7 year old daughter went decidedly nuts over the hard copy I had in my bag, I'd have to say the folks at Troll Lord Games are on to something.
Based on the Castles & Crusaders system, which runs on the Siege Engine, which is based on the OGL - Harvesters is firmly grounded in a long line of RPG wisdom. You could look at this game as a boiled down version of D&D 3.5. It's got all the basics, but framed in the point of view of small woodland creatures and simplified to the point where kids will be able to participate.
Harvesters includes everything you'll need to run a game in the world of Wheat Hollow. There's enough to create a number of different characters based on class/race (with races like Squirrel and Otter). The Castle Keeper (C&C speak for GM) has at their hands a number of monsters, bad guys and NPCs as well as a complete adventure in this book. Also contained within are a number of full color maps and a nice character sheet.
While they do bill this as a game for the whole family, an adult or older child will need to interpret rules for the younger set.
Overall the book is well written and well organized. Most of the artwork is good but some leaves a bit to be desired. The maps are nice, use a hex grid to display 15' areas but print out to small for the use of miniatures, if that's your thing. Lastly, the book at it's current price strikes me as a little pricey for a 66 page PDF. Still, this reads easy, has my 7 year old very excited to try out her first RPG and would be easy for an experienced RPG player/GM to pickup and run in an evening. Someone new to RPGs wouldn't be intimated by this and could be running after a day or two of reading.

LOS ANGELES (December 19, 2006) — Hilary Duff and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, have dropped a request for a temporary restraining order against a celebrity photographer.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard E. Rico dismissed the case against David Joseph Klein, 50, according to documents filed Monday.
Duff and Madden had sought restraining orders against Klein and Maksim Myaskovskiy, 18. Myaskovskiy has been charged with stalking the singer-actress after police said he called a private security firm employed by Duff last month and threatened her and Madden.
Myaskovskiy has pleaded not guilty. He remained jailed Thursday, awaiting a court appearance.
Court papers had alleged Klein relayed messages from Myaskovskiy, his former roommate, to Duff.
The case against Klein was dismissed "based upon his apologies for any misunderstanding, his cooperation, and his assurances that he will not seek further contact with Ms. Duff, Mr. Madden, or any of their family members or representatives," according to a statement released by Duff's representatives at the Rogers and Cowan public relations firm.
A telephone listing for Klein could not be located, and it was not known whether he had a lawyer.
Duff is best known for starring in the long-running Disney Channel show "Lizzie McGuire."

Broadcaster Al Arabiya says someone has been trying to slow down its website since Egypt's army removed President Mohamed Morsi.
In a news post, the company says the wave of attacks started July 3 and peaked on July 8. According to its techs, the wave of attacks started in Egypt, but was soon distributed to different parts of the world. Until it can get a handle on the problem, the site is taking down its comment and search functions.
Al Arabiya says it faces "constant attack from various countries" on its online and broadcast operations.

About Our Books
- Do animals talk in your books?
The general answer is no, except in the case of Balaam's donkey. You may find expressions that a certain animal or bird "seems to say...."
An exception has been found in the 5th Reader. The story "Rebellion in the Hive" tells a moral tale, in which bees are portrayed with human thoughts and emotions.
If you find anything other than that, please contact us.
- What version of the Bible do you use?
Rod and Staff uses the King James Version, and this is true of most books we sell from other publishers as well.
- Are your books sectarian?
Most of the books we sell are from publishers with an Anabaptist background, with the majority from Mennonite publishers. I like to sell these books because there is a very serious effort to make the scriptures practical in everyday life. While you may not agree with every detail, I believe you will find these books true to the Bible and a blessing to you and your family.
- Do you have placement tests?
For determining placement, we offer the following suggestions:
The table of contents is available online for every grade and course we offer, as well as sample pages from each book, to help guide your choice for placement. We also offer assessment tests prepared by an independent testing company. When properly applied, your child's scores in these tests will indicate the grade level at which he should be working.
As a general rule, your results from the assessment test should be adequate to place your child in the appropriate grade in Rod and Staff's curriculum. A child who is average or above should be able to work at the same level compared with most other curricula.
One exception is the English curriculum, which covers grammar and composition. If your child has basic knowledge in these areas, they will probably do fine in grades 2 through 5. From the feedback we've received, grades 6 and above don't provide as much review of the basics, and are more advanced than average. (While Rod and Staff only publishes the English series through 10th grade, it is equivalent to completing a high school grammar course.) For students switching in the upper grades, especially those weak in grammar, we usually recommend that they drop back a grade or two, sometimes back to the 5th grade text, which is a good foundation for the rest of the series. If you feel confident they are up to grade level then start there and see if they can manage it. If you find it too advanced, you can always save it for later while you drop back to an earlier grade.
Also, in the lower grades of the Math curriculum, a lot of focus is given to mastering basic arithmetic, and so may seem "behind" in areas such as geometry, compared to other curriculums, until about grade 4.
If your child has not been doing well in school, we recommend that you back off a grade or two. Don't try to push a child beyond their level of understanding. You will be far better off to work from a level where your child has a solid footing in the area he is studying. Then you can make real progress.
Finally, it should be remembered that changing from one curriculum to another will often present some challenges to begin with, considering that publishers take different approaches in the way they present their material.
A handy reference is Rod and Staff's scope and sequence charts, showing the new concepts taught in each grade.
Rod and Staff Placement/Performance Tests are available from Rod and Staff Publishers in booklet form for Grades 1 - 10 (Levels 1 - 10). These tests can help determine into which grade level a student should be placed. The tests are also useful to monitor a student's progress from year to year and to compare his performance with the average performance of other students who have used the tests in the last several years. The tests are designed to be applied in the fourth quarter of the school term.
The Level 1 and Level 2 tests are consumable workbooks. Levels 3 - 10 each have a test booklet, and students write the answers on standardized answer sheets by filling in small circles. Tests for Levels 3 - 10 may be applied simultaneously in a multiple-classroom setting. After the tests are completed, the teacher should count the correct responses for each subject and enter the raw scores on the Data Report form. This form is then to be sent to Rod and Staff, where the data is entered and graphs are produced for each student.
To preserve the integrity of the tests, they should be kept in a secure place and should be available to students only while testing. For more information, or to order these tests, please call Rod and Staff Publishers at 606-522-4348.
- Should I buy the teacher's manual?
Here are some things to consider:
- The teacher's manual gives you the answer, which saves you the time required to work the problem yourself, and reduced errors.
- Most of the teacher's manuals feature copies of the student pages, which makes it easier to guide the student, as well as faster to check their answers.
- Designed for non-professional teachers, many of the manuals will provide an overview of the course along with any recommended teaching aids, offer general scheduling advice, provide a brief statement of the purpose of each lesson, and include other features designed to make the subject easier to teach.
- Some manuals offer oral exercises or questions to refresh the child's mind before he starts the lesson. For example, in math he may be asked to review some addition or subtraction facts orally. In English he may be asked something orally about a previous lesson to refresh his mind. In spelling, when you give out the words, the manual gives you a sentence with the word in it so you don't have to make it up.
- Since most manuals are hardcover, with some care they can outlast your teaching, to be passed on to a friend or recycled in our Buy-Back Program. (Note: if you find a used teacher's manual elsewhere, make sure it is the same edition as the student books you have, or the current edition available from us.)
- How much teacher involvement is required?
Rod and Staff textbooks have been prepared for use in traditional classrooms, where teachers teach the material and monitor pupil progress.
In the lower grades, teacher involvement is more essential than in upper grades. The textbooks for fourth grade and above explain the material on the student's level.
Can Rod and Staff textbooks be used with limited teacher involvement? For fourth grade and above the answer is "Yes" if—
- the student is a good reader, can comprehend what he reads, and can understand pictures and diagrams.
- the parent is satisfied with less-than-the-best education for his child.
People in general (and children in particular) learn best when a teacher guides them in understanding. As an adult, picture yourself learning a foreign language or a new skill by reading a book. Consider the benefits of discussing the lesson together.
While a teacher should not spoon-feed his pupils, he should introduce the lesson and reinforce the main concepts. Then, let the students study the lesson on their own. Rod and Staff strives for a balance of teacher involvement and the student working independently.
- What do I do if there is something in the curriculum I do not understand?
The teacher's manuals are designed to answer most of your questions. I strongly encourage you to read the introductory material in the various manuals to get the lay of the land before you begin using that particular course. If then you come across something that baffles you, you can contact Rod and Staff Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm Eastern Time, at 606-522-4348. They will try to help you.
- Are the test booklets important?
Here are some things to consider:
- The unit or chapter tests (offered for many courses in grades 3 and up) will help monitor your child's progress, and highlight any areas that need to be reviewed.
- Test booklets are inexpensive, and can provide a permanent record if you are ever called upon to defend your school.
- Bible Nurture and Reader Series—Purpose and Plan
The Bible Nurture and Reader Series has been written to teach children to read. The parents of children who learn from this series are delighted to find their first graders reading quite well already after only 4 or 5 months, and sounding out new words with surprising ease.
We have found, as other researchers have also concluded, that a strictly phonetic approach to reading hinders comprehension, whereas a strictly sight-reading approach impedes both reading and comprehension. The Bible Nurture and Reader Series uses a combination of phonics and sight-reading: the students learn to read a few words by sight immediately, thereby getting off to a prompt start in comprehension; phonics is taught from the very beginning, enabling the child to sound out words for himself.
This approach to teaching reading is employed in this series for the following reasons:
- Learning the sounds enables a child to identify most of the vocabulary words for himself. It takes no longer to learn sounds that compose words than it does to memorize whole words, and the phonetic sounds are the tools that enable the child to sound out every new word that he sees. Phonics gives the child an orderly way of learning to read. He sees that words are composed of small parts, sounded consecutively.
- Since the child is able to sound words for himself and to become an independent reader early, the phonetic method gives him a meaningful, challenging, and satisfying approach to the learning of words.
- In a classroom setting, the phonetic method makes it easier for the teacher to keep the learning progress of all the pupils in a class together. In the sight-reading approach, the children who have difficulty recognizing and remembering sight words become confused and frustrated and drop behind others in the class and are left with no means or tools with which to recover themselves.
- Phonetic sounds are more easily remembered than sight words because the child continues to use them with regularity. He is far more ready to begin the second grade after the vacation months, during which time a child usually forgets many of the sight words he has memorized, because the basic phonetic sounds are retained more easily and are more readily recalled.
- An effective study of phonetics requires disciplines necessary for the development of good habits such as good listening, concentration, diligence, perseverance, and acceptance of personal responsibility.
Developing comprehension is another objective of the series. To comprehend, children must learn to think. Many subjective-type questions have been used in the Bible Nurture and Reader Series that require the pupils to think. Few pictures are included in the readers, since comprehension is improved when pupils are allowed to form their own mental images.
Bible stories are used in these readers because they are the admonition of the Lord. Parents and teachers must share with children what God has revealed in His Word, and children must share with parents and teachers their questions and understandings. The Word is for all to know—grownups and children. As babies love milk, so children will be more apt to love the milk of the Word if they are in a healthy, spiritual home and/or school setting and are fed the pure Word of Truth.
Teacher's manuals are designed to include all the necessary help for teachers or parents who take their work seriously and who have some aptitude for teaching.
Pupil's material includes readers, reading workbooks, phonics workbooks, worksheets, printing practice, and flash cards.
- Changes in Rod and Staff's revised Grade 1 math curriculum
The basic concepts of this revised curriculum (3rd edition, 2011) are much the same as in the former version (2nd edition, 1991). However, this revision provides improved Bible tone, offers more variety in artwork, and gives more drill in some weak areas. Complete practice sheet sets are available for the revised curriculum, eliminating the need for extensive copying.
The major differences are:
- Art changed to reflect Bible stories or the warmth of Christian family life as opposed to stylized animal theme. This makes themed "carrier" concept less prominent.
- The "zero" is taught as "nothing" and as a placeholder. A first grader is no longer taught to starting counting at zero or to number 100-block grid as 0-99. Rather, we comply with standardized math manipulatives by having a 10-by-10 grid contain 100 squares.
- Fractions have more teaching. The denominator concept is taught first: halves, thirds, and fourths. The numerator concept is also taught in the last quarter of the year; distinguishing between or or two thirds, and between one, two, or three fourths.
- Place value is taught with quantative association instead of a fictional carrier: one crayon, one box of ten crayons, one case of ten boxes.
- Practice Sheets are provided as a complete set. Permission is given to copy them just like the blacklines could be. The Practice Sheets are categorized as: Strengtheners; Required; or, Challenge (fun).
Other than that, the coverage, flow, and academic content have been little altered.
- Understanding Rod and Staff's science program
Rod and Staff's science program for grades 7-10 is being revised. During the revision period, here is the plan they are recommending that you should consider following.
Originally "Investigating God's Orderly World" Book One and Two was written for the seventh and eighth grade students, respectively. It is based on six-day creation and shows that true science and Biblical truth agree. Generally it was a very good course. But it was last revised in 1992, and much new scientific information has become available and corrected since that printing.
Also, one problem continued to surface. Many teachers and students found that it was too much material in each book to be covered in one year, along with all the other subjects. So then Rod and Staff suggested that "Investigating God's Orderly World" Book One be used for grades seven and eight, and Book Two be used for grades nine and ten.
More recently, Rod and Staff Publishers decided it was time for a revision. In 2008 they published a revised seventh grade science text called "God's Orderly World" Grade 7. This covers the same basic materials which are in units 1,4,7,8,9,10 and 12 in "Investigating God's Orderly World" Book One, in an improved and updated form. In 2012 they published a revised eighth grade text ("God's Orderly World" Grade 8) which covers the material from the remaining units of "Investigating God's Order World" Book One, and units 3, 4 and 12 from Book Two.
Rod and Staff is continuing to recommend that "Investigating God's Orderly World" Book Two be divided and used for ninth and tenth grade students (note that units 3, 4 and 12 were covered in grade 8). This material will be revised and updated as the revision process progresses.
Special Notice: You may have noticed that we are offering Apologia Science for high school. So which should you choose? Here is our suggestion: If you do not plan to earn high school credits, then continue with Rod and Staff. It is much less expensive and designed for those who do not plan to complete four years of high school. If you are planning to complete high school then we suggest you switch to Apologia Science starting at Grade 8. This will prepare you for the more advanced high school courses.
- Is the Rod and Staff curriculum old and outdated?
We occasionally get inquiries from people who have heard that the Rod and Staff curriculum may be too old, is not up-to-date, and/or has errors. We will address a couple of arguments:
Rod and Staff started publishing their reading program over 50 years ago. Other subjects were added since then, and most of the curriculum is in its 1st, 2nd, or 3rd edition. The publisher's criteria has been to do extensive testing and review to improve the courses and remove errors before publishing for the public. Some errors have gotten published, but all known errors are corrected in later printings, which usually happen every couple years or so. (Because of this ongoing error-correction being done, no errata sheets are published.) So, although some courses are from editions that are over 20 years old, the printing date is usually much more recent, unless you get a used copy. The general feedback we've received indicates that most people are quite happy with the level of accuracy in the books. If you do come across an error, please report it for correction.
As for the concern about whether the long intervals between editions make the Rod and Staff curriculum outdated, consider what we are told in Ecclesiastes: "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." There are of course different philosophies of education, but Rod and Staff uses a traditional approach that is designed to make a child well-equipped for a useful life. Although some children learn better with other methods, the same methods used to learn reading and math a generation ago will still work today.
As far as the rapid advances in science and technology, there are perhaps two points to address. Rod and Staff has not embraced the modern content-delivery methods of ebooks and internet publishing, but has favored traditional printed book based learning. This has both benefits and drawbacks as far as ease-of-use, but does not limit the value of the education being given.
The other point, which is probably of most concern to you, is how current the curriculum is. We only see this as being an issue in the subjects of science and, to a lesser degree, history. The science curriculum was first published many years ago, but the current series is fairly recent, and available through grade 8 so far, with publication dates as follows:
- Grade 3 (1991)
- Grade 4 (1999)
- Grade 5 (2004)
- Grade 6 (2006)
- Grade 7 (2008)
- Grade 8 (2011)
The upper grades are in process of revision as well, but since Rod and Staff only publishes through 10th grade, if you're planning on higher education, we recommend switching to a full high school science curriculum from some other publisher, such as Apologia. Read more about high school and beyond.
Concerning the social studies/history curriculum, the publication dates for the current editions are as follows:
- Grade 2 (1982)
- Grade 3 (2006)
- Grade 4 (1997)
- Grade 5 (1994)
- Grade 6 (1997)
- Grade 7 (2002)
- Grade 8 (2005)
- Grade 9 (2007)
- Grade 10 (unpublished; in preparation)
You might also want to take a look at the scope of the entire series.
Grade 2 is designated as "social studies" rather than a "history" curriculum: along with geographical instruction, the focus is on introducing the child to several different cultures, with little emphasis on historical context. One of the stories in this book takes place in the former Czechoslovakia. The publishers have added the following footnote in the teacher's manual: "Now that communism no longer rules Russia and several European countries, some aspects of this lesson are not accurate. Make clear to the pupils that communist disdain for Christians continues, even though political changes have occurred. Believers in communist-ruled countries must live as this lesson describes. In 1993, Czechoslovakia separated peacefully into two new nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia."
Focus is on the culture of the region, and some understanding of what social effects a communist form of government has on a country and Christians in particular. As you can see, at a grade 2 comprehension level, it is a relatively minor point that the particular country in question is no longer under communist rule. Understandably, the upper grades require more complex thought than that, but the approach is the same.
Overall, the focus of the series is mainly on the events and influences that shaped the societies being studied from a mainly historical viewpoint such that current events are not emphasized. The goal is to give the student an understanding that will enable him/her, as they learn about current events now or in the future, to be able to put that in the context of what has happened before. It is therefore not particularly critical that the textbooks keep up with what events may have happened most recently in some region of the world, as that will be constantly changing after the student finishes school anyway. In other words, the events of the past decade have not materially altered the kind of understanding that is being taught in this series.
You should find that approach applies to the science curriculum as well, so hopefully that will give you a little better understanding of the viewpoint being taught.
- Does Rod and Staff have foreign language courses?
Rod and Staff does not publish foreign language courses. They do publish Spanish textbooks for Spanish schools.
- What is the difference between Rod and Staff and the other curriculums you offer?
In addition to Rod and Staff curriculum, which is what we primarily sell, we also offer several other curriculum courses from publishers that seem to fit with a conservative educational approach. Of particular note, we offer Pathway Publisher's reading series, Schoolaid's English grammar, math, and health curriculums, Study Time Publisher's math series, and Apologia's science series. We are not as familiar with these courses, and unfortunately don't know how they specifically differ from the Rod and Staff curriculum, but here are some generalizations:
- Beginning Steps to Reading, by Eastern Mennonite Publications, is a phonetic approach to reading for grades 1 and 2. Whereas Rod and Staff combines sight-reading with phonics, the BSR program teaches reading through phonetic word-building for half a year. At that point, or after the second grade, the student can switch to another reading program, such as Rod and Staff.
- The Pathway reading series is designed in an Amish setting, and teaches reading using stories of rural home and school life. By contrast, Rod and Staff teaches reading through Bible stories.
- The penmanship series by Pentime Publishers is more extensive than the Rod and Staff penmanship, being available through grade 8. It uses the same approach of starting with manuscript, and transitioning to cursive in grade 2, and since the letter forms are quite similar to those used by Rod and Staff, students should be able to switch between curriculums without much difficulty.
- Practical Spelling by Miller School Books is designed to be used with minimal teacher involvement, and prices are much lower.
- The Climbing to Good English series, by Schoolaid, is designed to complement the Pathway curriculum and fill out a language arts study by teaching grammar and composition. This series has a workbook format, rather than the reusable textbook format offered Rod and Staff's English series.
- Schoolaid's health series is available for grades 3 - 8, which is more comprehensive than Rod and Staff's.
- Schoolaid also publishes some beginning math books for grades 1 and 2, which will prepare a student for Study Time's math series in grades 3 - 8. These courses as well are in workbook format through grade 5, whereas the Rod and Staff math uses textbooks after grade 2.
- The Apologia science courses offer a more comprehensive high school study than Rod and Staff. See more details above in previous question.

About Rod and Staff Publishers
- Does Rod and Staff Publishers have a website?
No, Rod and Staff Publishers, Inc., does not have a website or email address.
- How and why did Rod and Staff begin?
In 1958 a group of brethren from various Mennonite churches gathered in Amelia, Virginia, to share their concern over the degrading effect of much of the printed matter used by the churches. After consultation and prayer, in three different meetings, there was strong agreement that another publishing work was needed. In the third meeting, a statement of bylaws was adopted, a statement of ideals governing the personnel and policy of a conservative publishing work was prepared, and seven board members were chosen.
- What church affiliation does Rod and Staff have?
The Mennonite brethren gathered in Virginia in 1958 chose the first seven board members. Since the beginning the work has been directed by a self-perpetuating board. The present board members are members of various Mennonite churches in the United States and Canada.
- How long has Rod and Staff been publishing textbooks?
The first grade of the Bible Nurture and Reader Series was first published for laboratory use in 1963. It was produced with the conviction that church schools with Christian teachers also needed Bible-based textbooks. Wisdom from God was sought; tried and proven methods were employed. Other subjects were added as the Lord prospered the work. Christian parents and teachers are pleased with the results. They are working now to complete their curriculum.
- What services does Rod and Staff offer to home schools?
The teacher's manuals are designed with the beginning teacher (or parent) in mind. Books may be ordered individually as needed. Rod and Staff offers telephone consultation. You can call Rod and Staff for curriculum assistance on weekdays from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time at 606-522-4348. Rod and Staff is a publisher, however, not a school.
- Does Rod and Staff have anything for kindergarten?
Rod and Staff's does not offer any curriculum designated as "kindergarten," but has published a series of preschool workbooks designed to prepare the child for beginning reading and math in the first grade. We also offer coloring books as well as preschool storybooks that are excellent material to be read to young children.
- Does Rod and Staff give high school diplomas? Do they grade pupil's work?
Rod and Staff is in the textbook publishing work. Their books are used in private and parochial schools, as well as home school settings. Rod and Staff offers curriculum counsel relating to the use of their books and the operation of the classroom. They do not operate a school, grade the pupils' work, offer credits for courses, or give diplomas.
We at Milestone Books are offering, in conjunction with New Covenant Christian Academy, a high school diploma program.
