UAE protests to Denmark over cartoon
(Wam) / 18 March 2008
ABU DHABI - The UAE yesterday summoned Danish ambassador and lodged a protest against the Danish governments stance on reprinting of cartoons by the Danish Press which defame Islam and personality of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Summoning non-resident Danish ambassador to UAE Hans Klingenbeg to his office, Foreign Affairs State Minister Dr Anwar Mohammed Al Gargash delivered the protest memo to him, decrying the stance of the Danish government on reprinting of the outrageous cartoons.
The UAE has been keen to bolster and sustain relations with many countries worldwide, including the kingdom of Denmark, indicating that the UAE respects religious freedom and tolerance among world people, Al Gargash said at the meeting. It condemns unwise position of the Danish government for not preventing the reprinting of the cartoons, defaming Islam and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by the Danish Press. He reiterated the stance of UAE clearly on non-mixing up the Press freedom and ridiculing Islam. This will definitely cast shadow on the bilateral relations.
Al Gargash noted that the Danish government could do more to stop the deformation of Islam, which is apparently seen through the infamous Danish cartoons, adding that the UAE would remain vocal and tolerant, and build foreign relations, but would not tolerate attacks on our Islamic heritage.
He added that the UAE rejects the attempt to exploit the Press freedom as a cover for defaming our religion and the Prophet.Present at the meeting was ambassador Dr Tariq Ahmed Al Haydan, Assistant Under-Secretary of the Ministry for Political Affairs.

Sandy and the Bureaucrats
Roger Kimball, columnist at PJMedia, has been having a time of it with FEMA and his local Zoning Authority ever since his house was wrecked by Hurricane Sandy.
Yet it wasn't until the workmen we hired had ripped apart most of the first floor that the phrase "building permit" first wafted past us. Turns out we needed one. "What, to repair our own house we need a building permit?"Of course.
Before you could get a building permit, however, you had to be approved by the Zoning Authority. And Zoning—citing FEMA regulations—would force you to bring the house "up to code," which in many cases meant elevating the house by several feet. Now, elevating your house is very expensive and time consuming—not because of the actual raising, which takes just a day or two, but because of the required permits.
Kafka would have liked the zoning folks.
It's not only us, of course. Thousands upon thousands have been displaced, but the bullying pedantry of the zoning establishment never wavers. While our house stands empty, the city authorities even showed a sense of humor by sending us a bill for property taxes. For a house they won't let us repair.
If this were happening any place but the United States you could easily think somebody has an eye on that property and wants Roger Kimball out of it.

Athens, Georgia: the home of the University of Georgia (UGA) and one of the great college towns of America. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Athens is a hotbed of excitement that far exceeds its small-town size of 111,000 souls. Walking down College Avenue, one passes by Wuxtry Records, where Michael Stipe met Peter Buck and music history was made as R.E.M. was formed. Other musical acts that launched from Athens and made a striking impact on music include the B-52's, Widespread Panic, Drive-by Truckers, and the Modern Skirts. Downtown Athens hosts such famed rock 'n roll venues as the 40-Watt Club, one of the most important indie-rock clubs on the east coast. Last summer, Lucky Magazine profiled Athens as one of the five best off-the-beaten-path places to shop in America. UGA is a leading research university with a distinguished history. Founded in 1785 (and mentioned in Gone with the Wind) the university has grown to its current population of 34,000 graduate and undergraduate students. An atmosphere of rich intellectual ferment combines with the thrill of national collegiate sports teams to produce a heady mix of challenge. The UGA Bulldogs football team defeated the University of Hawaii Warriors the Sugar Bowl in December; the women's gymnastics Gym Dogs just won their fourth straight national championship, and the men's basketball team made the NCAA tournament in a Cinderella finish to its season. UGA's faculty boasts Prof. Richard Elliott Friedman (Who Wrote the Bible?), a Biblical scholar of world renown, as well as some 20 courses on Jewish subjects. Our professional programs in business and law are very well respected; excitingly, UGA plans to open a new medical school in the 2008 year.
UGA Hillel's programming generally falls into four categories: Community, Israel, Jewish Living and Learning, and Tzedek (Social Justice). Our community events feature barbecues, social programs in the dorms, bowling and trivia nights, outdoor events such as whitewater rafting, and our biggest campus-wide event of the year, UGA Idol. Idol is an Amercan Idol-style singing competition co-sponsored with the Sigma Delta Tau sorority (SDT). 800 people from all walks of campus fill Hodgson Hall at UGA's performing arts center to cheer for their favorite singer. The winner receives a $500 prize and the chance to compete in Hillels of Georgia's Campus Superstar program for a $5,000 prize. Our Israel programming has two main centers. The first is Taglit-birthright Israel (more than 20 students went to Israel for their first time with Hillel; other students went with other providers) and follow-through birthright programming. The second is our Dawgs for Israel student group, which advocates for a strong Israel while maintaining a respectful dialogue on Israel's relationship with the Palestinians. Jewish living and Jewish learning are at the core of UGA Hillel's mission. We come together to celebrate Shabbat and festivals; we welcome visiting rabbis from Greater Atlanta and around the world with our Rabbi Roundtable series; and we learn Jewish texts on a weekly basis. Thirty students filled our home last March for a hamantaschen bakeoff and alternative megillah reading in English featuring belly dancing. A new tradition may have begun this spring on the second night of Pesach when we held a Freedom Seder featuring the most spirited Hillel anyone could remember by UGA's African-American Choral Ensemble (ACE). ACE sang B'tzeit Yisrael in Hebrew, Go Down Moses, and two other gospel songs. Some fifty students jammed our building, the Director of African-American Studies and the Office of Institutional Diversity were represented at the seder. We try to actualize the Torah's commandment to Pursue Justice through our Tzedek (social justice) program. Tzedek's main event of the year was and will be Uga's Party, a holiday party named after Uga the bulldog, mascot of UGA, for indigent children of Athens-Clarke County and their parents and guardians. Tzedek mobilized some 75 student volunteers from across campus for the toy drive and holiday party, which featured a performance by Noteworthy, a women's a cappella group. Next year we hope to have Uga himself in attendance. Ten students will travel to Mexico for an Alternative Break at the end of the school year to help promote sustainable agriculture. UGA Hillel is well positioned for a strong 2008-2009 academic year. We are finishing up our first year under the direction of Rabbi Justin Kerber. This year we will welcome Michael Braun as our new Jewish Student Life Coordinator and Alicia Arnold-Compere as our Office Administrator. Michael graduated from Indiana University in 2002 with a B.S. in Business Economics Public Policy and International Studies. He was active in Hillel, the Theta Chi fraternity, and the Hoosier cheerleading squad. Most recently, he was an English language teacher in Gumi-City, South Korea. He loves to get outside: climbing, hiking, running, cycling, and swimming. When he was an undergrad, Hillel gave him a familiar landmark and framework for student life while allowing him to immediately participate and contribute in a campus organization. He hopes to pass along his positive experience at IU Hillel to Jewish students at UGA. Alicia Arnold-Compere is working on her B.A. from Gainesville State College while she serves as our Administrator. Most recently, she worked at the Center for Safe Youth, LLC, a non-profit organization that provided transportation services for children and teens at risk. She is looking forward to bringing her considerable organizational skills to bear on our operation while learning more about Judaism and Jewish culture and to meeting and getting to know the students who make up our Hillel family. We are delighted with both of them and are very excited about the New Year. Jewish life on campus, like campus life in general, is dominated by a vibrant Greek scene. The Jewish Greek community features two fraternities, Alpha Epsilon Pi and Tau Epsilon Phi, and a sorority, Sigma Delta Tau. Until recently, there was a second Jewish sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon, and there is some interest among the alumnae in restarting it. Many Jewish students are also involved in other frater

Spectators gather at the scene of a crash after a Zambia postal service bus carrying 74 passengers collided head-on with a heavy goods truck on February 7, 2013 in Chibombo. AFP PHOTO / STRINGER
LUSAKA: Police in Zambia say at least 51 people have been killed after a bus crashed into a semi-truck north of the country's capital of Lusaka.
Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Kanjela said the crash happened Thursday morning at Chifamba, a town about 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of Lusaka.
Kanjela said the crash involved a bus run by Zambia's postal service, which provides passenger service on buses that also carry the country's mail. She said police were still investigating the crash and that bodies may still be inside the wreckage.
It wasn't immediately clear what the cause of the crash was, though it happened on a two-lane highway known for having high traffic, even during the night.

A meta-analysis of 19 published studies involving 33,826 asthma patients found that those receiving inhaled long-acting beta-agonists were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized and about two times more likely to have life-threatening asthma attacks than those receiving placebo. Fifty-three of 3,083 patients receiving B-agonists were hospitalized for an asthma attack compared to 12 of 2,008 patients who received a placebo. The absolute increase in hospitalizations was one event per 71 patients treated per year. Fifty of 15,443 patients receiving B-agonists had life-threatening asthma attacks compared to 25 of the 14,538 who received placebos. While death from asthma was rare (thirteen deaths in the B-agonist group and three in the placebo group), those taking long-acting B-agonists died about 3.5 times as often as those receiving placebo. The authors say that, "use of long-acting B-agonists could be associated with a clinically significant number of unnecessary hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions, and deaths each year." An editorialist notes that this analysis was not able to fully account for the effects of disease severity, co-treatments, adherence to treatment, or racial profile on the risk of poor outcomes. The editorialist suggests that physicians follow current guidelines which advise not using long-acting B-agonists as first line treatment for patients with "mild to moderate persistent asthma symptoms."
The article and editorial appear early online on June 6, 2006, and are available to the public at http://www.acponline.org. They will be published in the July 4, 2006, print edition of the journal.
Chronic Sleep Deprivation in a 24-Hour Society Can Have Bad Effects
Two studies in the June 6, 2006, issue of Annals of Internal Medicine show that naps and caffeine can combat fatigue and sleepiness. A hospital divided a group of medical interns into a group that could take an uninterrupted nap during long shifts and a group that did not have this opportunity (Article, p. 792). Sleep time was measured by a special wristwatch device. At the end of the work shift and the next day, the nap group was much less tired, even after only a short nap. One alternative to shortening work shifts for doctors would be to build naps into the work schedule.
A small study of the effects of drinking coffee and napping on night driving found that driving performance was better after drinking half a cup of coffee or taking a 30-minute nap than when drinking decaffeinated coffee or not taking a nap (Article, p. 785). While previous studies have used driving simulators, in this study 12 participants drove 125 miles on a highway in four sessions, accompanied by a professional driving instructor in a car equipped with dual controls.
An editorial writer summarizes that as the United States moves toward a 24-hour society, sleep deprivation is a growing problem in the workplace (Editorial, p. 856). The writer says that employers of night shift workers and individuals who work or drive at night have an obligation to encourage safety: even "a nap followed by a cup of coffee may save a life."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Former NFL player Chad Johnson could get jail time for a probation violation stemming from an altercation with his then-wife.
A hearing is set Monday morning in Broward County court for the six-time Pro Bowl receiver. Johnson was arrested in May after failing to meet with his probation officer. He insisted it was a misunderstanding and not intentional.
Prosecutors indicated they wanted jail time for Johnson. It's up to a judge to decide.
The 35-year-old formerly known as Chad Ochocinco pleaded no contest to head-butting TV reality star Evelyn Lozada during an argument in August. The "Basketball Wives" star immediately filed for divorce after barely a month of marriage.
Johnson was released by the Miami Dolphins shortly after. He also played for the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.

Watch Kim Kardashian Freak Out During Fish Pedicure: "I'm Gonna Cry!"
Guys, we don't really understand Kim Kardashian. The woman voluntarily gets human blood massaged into her skin with tiny little needle pricks, but then she goes and totally freaks out when a bunch of harmless little fish want to nibble on her toes a bit.
While in Greece a few days ago for a family vacation, Kim and her sister Kourtney both signed up for a fish pedicure: a special spa treatment where tiny fish called Garra rufa, or doctor fish, nibble on human feet to remove dead skin.
Fish pedicures are often used to treat psoriasis, a skin condition Kim suffers from, so it make sense that she'd want to give this creative treatment a try while visiting a local Greek spa.
There's just one problem: Kim couldn't stand having all those tiny little fish nibbling at her toes. In a Keek video posted May 1, Kim is seen tentatively lowering her feet into the pool of fish while her sister Kourtney — her feet already submerged in the fish-filled water — calmly looks on.
The tiny fish surge towards her, and immediately start munching on her flesh. "OH MY GOD. I don't like it! I don't like it!" a terrified Kim shrieks. Seconds later, she's asking? "Can I take them out? Can I take them out, please?"
Cue more shrieks, distressed waving of the hands, and other general freaking out. "No, I hate it. I hate it. Oh my god. I'm gonna cry."
Watch the video and see what you think. Is Kim totally overreacting to a harmless procedure, or do you think you'd probably have the exact same response?

Automatic scales feed directly into the mixers, weighing out flour, liquid shortenings, sweeteners and water on the way. Employees weigh smaller amounts of ingredients individually, using small scales, and add them to the mixers by hand. We use a variety of mixers for all different kinds of dough -- some hold up to 2400 pounds of flour.
After mixing, huge batches of cookie dough are fed into hoppers on the forming line, where the machinery can be pretty loud. Here, the dough is transformed into individual cookie pieces and transferred to the oven conveyor belt. Before being baked, some cookies get a final pre-oven touch to enhance their flavor, color or look.

Games that I just bought
By Bennyishere 8 Comments
Why, hello there. Didn't see you come in. Oh, you want to know about what I bought that are videogames? Cool, I want to tell you about them!
My friend bought Bulletstorm at launch day and loves it. I didn't really like the demo because I thought it got dull fast and I dislike score-based games. Then again I love the attitude of this game, with the dicktits and the fucked up shit that goes on in that game, and I am interested in doing Co-op with said person. In addition to this I am nearing 100% completion on Dragon Age Ultimate Edition (just three achievements away from being done now - yo Harvester on Hard is fucking impossible) and I just discovered that I have the week off from college... So this is the perfect time to buy some games. Having woken up at 8 pm, I rushed to the stores, but was dismayed to find that the ones that sold videogames were all closed. So I went online to the only place I could think of that lets me order games without a credit card, Komplett.no (a Norwegian site - 99% of you can just ignore this).
The thing about ordering online through the mail is that you have to pay for the delivery or whatnot, so it's a good idea to buy in bulk. So I looked around their 360 section and found Mirror's Edge for dirt cheap (all the prices above are Norwegian Kroner - if we include the sales tax and whatnot you can just divide by ten to get the US Dollar equivalent). Then I thought "Hey wait a minute I also have a PC that can play games", so I went to the PC section and OH MY GOD THESE GAMES ARE CHEAPER THAN COKE ZERO. Of course, I value my time, so I only bought two of the dirt cheap PC games: James Bond: Quantom of Solace (IT'S SO CHEAP and also Daniel Craig) and Dreamfall Limited Edition, which is made by Funcom, one of the few Norwegian game developers. Since I am going to be studying game design with a teacher that worked with Funcom (I believe he was among the people who pitched The Secret World), it makes sense to play at least one game from them... and it's 39 fucking kroners.
Anyway, this has been my first haul blog post. I'll probably post more in the future, Dragon Age II is coming out, and I am "deffo" getting that. Dirt 3 should be out soon too - I haven't been this excited about a game since Mass Effect 2!

LOL Phil. I love the 'watch the posting guidelines' :) A polarizing subject to say the least. Personally, this is great news to me. As far as his bias against Michigan, it either means Bacon is basically lying in his book...
Philc What I'll say about Mike is that I talked to him through the RichRod thing (and gave him some grief about some of it) and I never detected a hint of malice. Now if somebody like Drew Sharp (who has negative credibility IMHO) had been the source of the articles I'd be right with you with the tar and feathers;
Ohio St.'s actions are not unlike their lower intestine: stinky and loaded with danger.

Crestmont School (Richmond, CA)
Re: K for sensitive, spirited boy? Private or BUSD
My daughter goes to the Crestmont School (in the hills above El Cerrito)where I think they do an exceptional job with kids like ours. My daughter is highly sensitive, and the teachers and administrators at Crestmont have really taken the time to get to know her and accommodate her in the ways she needs. She loves it, and is learning fast. It helps that it's a very small school, with a lot of adults around (on most days my daughter's class has an exceptional teacher, a terrific aide, and a parent volunteer for 15 kids). If the commute works for you, it's worth checking it out. Crestmont Mom
RE: Progressive school with black students/teachers?
Are the hills above El Cerrito too far from you? If not, check out Crestmont School. Super-progressive with diversity in the students and teaching staff. We're happy we found it. Happy at Crestmont
Re: First grader says he hates school - change to private?
Moving from a public to a private school is a decision many consider in the Bay Area. There are a lot of ''c''s to consider: Culture, Community, Commute, and Cost were the ones we debated.
In the end we chose a small private school, Crestmont Elementary. Our child is in 3rd grade and thriving. Our child too has struggled with being motivated and is more an ''outdoors'' than ''indoors'' personality. The hands-on approach to learning has certainly helped. Also, while there is homework and focused preparation for middle school in 5th grade, the homework or test taking is not overwhelming nor the primary focus of teaching.
What we like about Crestmont in the ''4Cs'' order:
- a ''whole child'' approach that adapts to the different learning styles of children. They have an on-site learning specialist to provide individual, one-on-one learning assistance as needed.
- the healthy amount of outdoor time. Recess is at least 45 minutes a day, and there is structured PE as well. This has been severely cut back in public schools. We also love the frequency of day and overnight field trips -- a big part of school tradition and a tremendous learning experience.
- it's a cliche, but the school -- as a co-op -- really creates and sustains a sense of community. My child knows not just every fellow student, but their siblings and parents. People are amazed at how well and confident he is talking to adults.
- We live in El Cerrito, and so the commute is about 10 minutes. The school is on the Arlington in the Richmond Hills near the El Cerrito border.
- Cost was a big consideration for us. Tuition is much lower than other private schools, but as a co-op you participate in the operations and maintenance of the school to keep costs low. (Not teaching, as the school has a director and credentialed teachers.) This can range from fundraising to volunteering in the classroom to editing the web site. This time commitment works for some families, but not all.
The greatest thing a school can do is to instill a love of learning. The East Bay offers a great range of private and charter schools that may provide a better fit than the one your son is at now. Also, EBISA is a good resource for private school info. ELC Family
Re: Kensington Elementary School for easy going girl?
If you're private-school curious you may be interested in looking at Crestmont School, which is short drive down Arlington from Kensington in Richmond View. As an affordable independent school, Crestmont attracts mostly families for whom the local public school wasn't quite right and who were seeking a more enriched school environment. The K teacher is very warm and nurturing, and small class sizes, classroom aides and parent participants ensure that the students throughout all the grades (it's K-5) receive focused, positive, individual attention. It's offered what we've wanted for our kids, who never want to leave at the end of the day! And as a co-op it also attracts parents who want/are able to be extra involved in their child's schooling and willing to put in time throughout the year to help make the wonderful school work. The best to you and your daughter! EC mom
Re: Progressive schools in El Sobrante area?
We were in a similar situation. There are several private schools in El Sobrante, but they have religious affiliations. We wanted progressive and secular. It came down to two choices for us -- East Bay Waldorf in El Sobrante and Crestmont School in Richmond. Both have great music and arts programs. In the end we chose Crestmont, but probably would have been happy at either. Crestmont was a good match for us with small class sizes, focused attention on the student, and the amount of learning that happens OUTSIDE the classroom with field trips and other outings. Affordability was also a deciding factor. Crestmont is a co-op so parents run and maintain the school (but don't do the teaching). That keeps tuition lower than similar schools. I did hear they hired a director recently, though, so tuition may have gone up. Crestmont really creates a community where all of the students in the grades know each other, and know the parents. For some, they may find the school maybe too small, as there is just one class per grade. Waldorf has a beautiful campus and a larger student body. It has a distinct philosophy of educating the ''whole child''. The teacher stays with the class from grade 1 to junior high. That to us, could be fantastic, or not so good, depending on how your kid interacts with that teacher. Our children thrived at Crestmont, but it's not for everyone. It's for families who want to be involved in their child's school. You should also check out an organization of independent schools in the East Bay for more options. Good luck! El Sobrantian
Re: Evaluating academic strengths of local private schools
My son went to Crestmont & is in 8th grade at East Bay School for Boys. He is not behind in math and is doing quite well. (I taught music for 3 years at Crestmont while my son was there for 6 years). I saw a few parents worry and ''freak out'' about math or science preparedness during our 6 years there and it ended up being a parent issue not the school's. Crestmont always hires top notch teachers that do an amazing job preparing students academically and emotionally (the latter is an amazing bonus unique to Crestmont). Our love of Crestmont will be for our lifetime as they helped shape our son in an amazing way. Good luck with your search as you have named several really good schools. Be sure to choose the one that fits your child the best. Jeffrey
Re: Hands-on, no-homework private/charter elementary?
I want to recommend Crestmont Cooperative. It meets all your criteria with a special emphasis on hands-on learning, nature-oriented exploration, family involvement, social/identity development, and project-based curriculum. There are plenty of field trips and opportunities for children throughout K-5 to interact with each other, including a buddy exchange. The tuition is about half tha of many private schools, and you can even ''participate'' to get a further tuition deduction if you don't qualify for financial aid. It is a diverse, warm and friendly learning environment in the Richmond Hills. A Happy Parent and Child
It is a parent owned co-op, so the community is very strong and involved, which means every child is seen and heard. For your husband concerns, the cost is 50% less than other private schools because of the co-op structure. We LOVE the Kindergarten teacher, who is so warm and caring and fun (we actually love ALL the teachers!!). A great way to enter elementary school.
One of the best parts of Crestmont is the ability to adapt to each child, and their learning needs. The homework for a 5th grader is less than 15 min a night, and then reading each day.. no pressures or 3 hour evenings of homework.
My other daughter, who graduated from Crestmont, is an 8th grader and is thriving educationally, as well as socially, and loves going to her school, which I credit Crestmont in helping give her the love of learning, and the environment to grow. scott
Re: Mira Vista or Crestmont School
We have sent both of our children to Crestmont School and our youngest will be graduating this year, as she is in fifth grade. Our experience at the school has been excellent, and we strongly recommend that parents consider touring and coming to information events to learn more about it. At Crestmont, children thrive in a ''small village'' environment, with support from teachers, instructional aides, specialty teachers and participating parents. There are many multi-age activities and opportunities for developmentally based, differentiated learning. Both of our children have loved school, and our oldest, who is about to graduate from high school, developed confidence in herself and a love for learning that has guided her through the challenges of adolescence and middle and high school. Crestmont is a little jewel of a school - it's the oldest parent cooperative elementary school in the West and has been around for over 40 years. And last, being a parent at Crestmont is an education for the adults, as well - in cooperative learning and interaction. This learning community has enriched our lives far beyond the role of a traditional school. Susan & Rafael
We wanted a full-day kindergarten since our child was coming from a full time preschool program. We needed the before/aftercare Crestmont offers (it's on-site and drop-in, staffed by long time classroom and daycare aides - there are also afterschool enrichment classes like yoga, kung fu and engineering). We feel lucky that Crestmont was affordable for us at half the tuition of other independent schools.
We value the small class sizes, the specialty programs (Spanish, Music, PE, and lots of time for art), the creative curricula, the many and unique field trips, the tremendous parent involvement, the warm and nurturing environment it offers the kids and the great attention paid to their social and emotional learning.
The students are a nice group of kids, and there are lots of opportunities to get to know each of them and their families whether or not you participate in the classroom.
The current teaching staff is probably the strongest it's been since we started, and last year Crestmont created an academic program coordinator position to hold the arc of the curriculum together from K-5.
Being in a cooperative can be an intense experience, but overall we've found it very positive and rewarding to be part of such a dedicated group of teachers and parents all helping to run the school. Our second child started K at Crestmont this year and is thriving.
P.S. We also love our El Cerrito/Richmond Hills neighborhood - welcome! Happy at Crestmont

Re: Looking for Developmental Multi-age School for 4th grader
Our son had a wonderful experience at Crestmont Cooperative (he graduated a couple of years ago). Crestmont provided a very creative, hands-on environment with excellent teachers and lots of family participation. It is multi-age with mixed grades in the classroom, on the playground, and at all the many school events. Our family loved the Crestmont experience and felt the school provided huge gifts and a wonderful education to our son. I encourage you to check out Crestmont. The school website ishttp://crestmontschool.org Former Crestmont Family
We have a boy who in 2012-2013 will be in the 2nd grade and who has some ADHD characteristics (not on medication). We are currently considering three schools: Madera Elementary (public), Montessori Family (private), and Crestmont (private). I was hoping to hear from families of ADHD kids about your experience with these schools.
We looked at Montessori, but I found its philosophy ill fitting for my son. Montessori education fosters children by allowing them to respond to their environment with a significant degree of independence. My son needs a bit more structure, however.
As for Madera, I hear its a lovely public school. . .but we were really looking for small class size, so I didn't check it out much.
Good luck with your school-hunting. It can be exhausting. Parent at Crestmont
Re: Good Elem School(s) for Sensitive Boy?
We were really happy with Crestmont School (a cooperative in Richmond View adjacent to El Cerrito) for our son who has now graduated from Crestmont. The excellent teachers, small class sizes, warm environment and hands-on educational philosophy were great for him. In our experience, children at Crestmont were given the freedom to celebrate their uniqueness and were taught to respect that which made others unique. It was a very supportive environment for all kinds of kids. The result was that our child loved going school. The positive educational and social climate he had at Crestmont has been a strong asset to him as he has moved forward into middle school. Former Crestmont Family
Re: Seeking schools that have no homework, or much less
I assume that many have viewed the excellent film ''Race to Nowhere'' as it raises the issue of overworked kids. I'd recommend it to anyone who shares your concerns about saturating a young student's time. I am a college professor (15 years teaching) and I have seen in the past ten years freshmen students' capacity for reflection and unstructured problem-solving diminish severely and alarmingly. And, I think much of this problem is due to incredibly structured formative years -- homework, grades, and too many after school classes/activities at the expense of ''free'' time. I will be looking at the posts regarding your question about middle and high schools because I have the same concerns as you.
My own child attends Crestmont School (El Cerrito/Richmond hills). It is a K-5 Cooperative and supports the idea that kids and their families do interesting and educational things during free time. The cooperative nature of the school means parents are engaged in the education of their children and work with the teachers on all aspects of the school. Homework is limited in scope, it increases slightly by grade level to gently introduce the concept of organizing one's time and meeting deadlines as preparation for middle school. But the work is often given in a weekly packet (not daily) and is more creative than the worksheets that I see friends' children doing nightly for public school. My third grader is able to adjust his homework around other activities and he has time to play and relax after school. He actually has time to engage all of the educational toys and books that we have amassed over the years and that he works on self-initiated creative projects -- plus a little homework -- tells me that balance is there for him. My third grader chooses to film and edit his own movies, composes music, reads books, and builds ridiculously complicated Lego structures --all after school because he has time to do it. Crestmont honors the spirit of childhood encouraging fantasy, play, and imagination which I think allows each child's spirit to flourish in his or her young years and beyond. Crestmont has no formal grades nor tests and assessment is performed in written narratives, progress matrices, and parent-teacher meetings. If there are doubts about this style of education, Crestmont can show that our kids have historically done very well when they have matriculated to traditional academic settings in private or public middle schools.

Re: What are some progressive schools in Berkeley/Oakland?
Hi, I am a college art professor and I was looking for an ''out of the box'', creative education for my child. My son has been at Crestmont School for four years now and I am very happy with the progressive curricula at the school. Although the teachers are credentialed and know the state standards per grade, the school allows for the teachers to have creative freedom and uses an integrated curriculum model-- which means that a deep subject is introduced, such as space or the rainforest, and then arts, math, science, reading, etc. revolve around that subject. Students have deeper experiences of how various disciplines and skills are applied together into a single inquiry and studies have shown this greatly improves retention. There are no tests or grades but significant written assessment and teacher/parent meetings help you understand your child's growth and strengths. Also, instead of a lot of worksheets, curricular subjects often revolve around real world applications. I've been really happy with the academics at Crestmont. It is a private school, but it is also a parent-owned K-5 cooperative -- which means that the community at large is actively involved in our the education of our children and also that the tuition is significantly cheaper at our non-profit co-op than other comparable schools. The work involved in the co-op is typically less than what preschool co-ops ask for. And although parents are very involved at running the school, our teaching staff are credentialed and are definitely the ones designing and delivering the curriculum. It is worth checking out, but Crestmont School may be too far from the area that you are looking in -- it is in the Richmond/El Cerrito hills near a lot of other EBISA schools. crestmontschool.org For other info on private schools, I'd go to the EBISA website for a compendium calendar of various private school open houses; also scan BPN for chat on different experiences at different schools by name; and keep a calendar of when public and private open houses are.Sorry, you missed the EBISA (east bay independent schools association) fair, they have one every fall in which member schools all have a booth with info about their school-- but others scanning these posts should know to look for that in the fall. It has been in Berkeley for the past two years in October. I'll be at it in another year or two when I'm looking for middle school options. Good luck. carol
Re: Looking for an affordable K-4 private school
Really, the best deal in private non-secular education in the East Bay is Crestmont School K-5 in the Richmond hills. Don't let the address turn you off, it is on Arlington Ave. and basically in the same neighborhood as many other private schools in El Cerrito area, but about one half the price of the comparable schools (family montessori, windrush, prospect, tehiyah) .
Crestmont is a co-op school and that is why it is so affordable but it is very different than co-op preschools. The staff of experienced teachers are credentialed and very dedicated and creative. Classroom participation is NOT required and but you get tuition remission if you do participate, so that is another way to bring tuition down. The education provided by Crestmont is creative and honors the whole child. It is a very special community and worth looking into. They still have limited openings for this year. crestmontschool.org Good luck, Carol (parent at school)
Re: Private school that is not trying to prove itself academically
Hi, I'd recommend that you look at Crestmont School in the Richmond hills. crestmontschool.org -- It is a very community oriented school with a multi-age format. It is a parent-owned co-op but the staff are credentialed teachers. It is the only cooperative elementary school K-5 in the East Bay and the children are taught to be and actually model being loving, responsible, and accepting members of their community. The multi-age format of the school can support kids who are struggling in some areas and are at or above grade-level in others. The school also has a learning specialist who works with kids who need extra help in some subjects, in small groups during the school day. The curriculum is based on an integrative model in which a subject is examined through many lenses reading, research, math, science, and art. It can provide deep linkages among the academic disciplines and help open up kids to doing things like math without even realizing it. There is great attention to the whole child. My son has been there for three years and it has been a satisfying choice for us. A bonus to the co-op is that the school is about half the price of other private schools in the EBISA network. The workload as a parent in the co-op is honestly about what my sister-in-law commits to the public school where her children attend. Good luck in your search. Carol
Re: Race to Nowhere - Questioning Public Schools
Dear Hopeful, Yes, such a school does exist! Check out Crestmont School, a K-5 cooperative in Richmond (on the Arlington, not far from the El Cerrito border). Our son is in 3rd grade and our whole family is very happy there. There are no grades or tests, though the 4th/5th teacher does help prepare the kids for testing since most of them will experience tests in middle school. I too saw Race to Nowhere and the overwhelming feeling I had while watching it was ''thank God we are at Crestmont!''. It totally confirmed for me all the reasons why we chose the school. Check out the website -- not sure about space for next year but it is certainly worth looking into. http://crestmontschool.org/teaching/philosophy/ Good luck! Happy Crestmont parent
I would like to learn more about Crestmont co-op in
Richmond. We have attended the school's information event a
while ago and have read the BPN reviews, and overall, have a
very good feeling about the school. However, I still have
some unanswered questions:
1) Where do students typically go after the 5th grade?
Windrush? Prospect Sierra? Public schools?
2) How difficult is the transition from no grades/no tests
environment to a more traditional system?
3) What are the school's weaknesses (I believe I've observed
and/or read about most of its strengths)
4) If you have pulled your child from the school, why?
5) Does the school deal successfully with high energy/less
obedient kids? In the information I've gathered so far there
is a lot of emphasis on shy kids, and not a lot about the
other end of the spectrum.
The things at Crestmont that could be considered a weakness were actually a strength for us. Crestmont is small and therefore our child had fewer same-age peers than at a large school. A plus was that he made friends from many different grade levels and learned how to interact with a variety of kids -- his age, older, and younger.
The after-school program does not have a lot of ''specialized'' activities such as clubs, but has a warm, home-like atmosphere, which our child enjoyed as it allowed time for free-play, art, and socializing. Crestmont's curriculum has activities such as frequent field trips, drama/performances, music, language, PE, so we did not really need this function from the after-school program.
All the families put time, effort and energy into the school -- attending meetings, participating in field trips, and working at Crestmont. For our family, everything we put in at Crestmont was worth it, and came back to us in many ways. We felt a strong sense of community there that was important to our child and family.
As an intrinsic part of the curriculum, there is a lot of hands-on activity (kid-run flea markets, field trips, performances, and traditions such as Stone Soup) which allow kids to be engaged. Our son had great teachers at Crestmont, and we felt they were good at responding to diverse learning styles. In addition, Crestmont is small enough that learning is, to some degree, individually tailored. In our experience Crestmont offers a lot for a variety of different types of kids. Our son gained many strengths (both social and academic) and a lot of self-confidence through his Crestmont experience.
Good luck with your school search and definitely consider Crestmont -- it's a wonderful school. -- Parents of a Crestmont Alum
I am thinking that my third grader might benefit from a small class size and a more nurturing school environment. I've always heard great things about Crestmont School in Richmond, but would like to hear from current families if some would be willing to share their experiences. The postings in the archives are a couple of years old and I know that some of the teachers have changed at Crestmont recently. Thank you in advance! anon
I would be interested in learning about the experiences of any
parents with children currently attending Crestmont School, a
co-op in Richmond, CA. What has been your experience with
academics, atmosphere, and other aspects of Crestmont? We are
considering public and private school options, and would love an
opinion on this school...(there has been no posted feedback on
Crestmont this year)
-- An interested parent
I think what drew me to Crestmont was the level of intimacy, if that's the right word. I wanted a place where the teachers, staff and other parents would really know my son and ''get'' who he is as an individual. Likewise, I wanted the opportunity to really get to know and work with the other children in his class.
I love it that the teachers address the children's social and emotional needs in addition to the academics. In fact, I would say that one of Crestmont's amazing gifts is how the teachers really get to know what makes each child tick. And knowing how they tick means that the teachers are better able tosupport or challenge them as individuals. Academically, Crestmont is great. Untraditional in some ways (no grades, not achievement testing), but great. People should contact the school to observe the classes next fall, as seeing for yourself how engaged and interested the kids are in addition to the amazing and wonderful things they do in their classrooms says it all.
Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you have more specific
questions. I could go on all day, but probably shouldn't.
Please check out
our website! www.crestmontschool.org
Our son has made tremendous strides this past year in his social skills and his motor development and, most importantly, loves school and seems to really enjoy the process of learning -- which has not always been the case. He is a child who is easily frustrated and reluctant to try new things and his teacher has been able to really work with him on his specific issues, helping both to structure a learning environment and process that can work for him, as well as helping him to cultivate a set of tools so he can recognize when he needs to make his own adjustments (internally and externally) to facilitate learning. Conferences are allotted a full hour or so and the teachers make themselves readily available outside of this as well, so there is lots of opportunity to collect good information on how your child is doing -- from other parents as well, if you choose.
A co-op is a committment and it's definitely been an adjustment
for our family to fit in the meetings, work parties, and very
busy social schedule -- but the trade-off: A thriving child who
loves school and a great enrichment of my own community of
friends, has been more than worth it.
We have a 4yo son who is currently enrolled in a preschool co-op and are very interested in finding out more about Crestmont, the K-5 parent co-operative in Richmond for Kindergarten next year. I'd love to hear from other families who are currently (or have very recently) attended the school . . . our son is bright, sociable and very artistic/expressive. We are very involved in our current school community and are looking for another solid, committed community for kindergarten. We'd like a school where our son can get a good, well-rounded, possibly unconventional education in terms of learning to think for himself and foster his innate love of learning and the arts. We were previously interested in homeschooling but thought something like this school might meet our needs. What are other families' experiences, both good and bad, with the school and the teachers? Is there art, music, dance, etc? How do the students get along? What are the (dis)advantages to such a small student body? Is community service included in the curriculum? Where do the kids usually go after 5th grade, and how has their experience there affected them as adults (if anyone has made it that far yet)? I would love to hear as much input as possible, both positive and negative. Thank you! co-op mom
Crestmont is a parent-owned cooperative. That means that the parents are the administrators of the school. We have a very specific set of by-laws that guide the board when difficulties arise. By the way, I should mention that Crestmont has been in existence for 35 years, so we have certainly worked through our share of conflicts.
If a parent had an issue with a teacher and did not feel comfortable addressing the teacher directly, their first course of action would be to approach our liason. The liason would then speak with the teacher and possibly facilitate a meeting between the teacher and the involved parent (unless the parent needed their report to remain confidential). If a successful resolution was not reached, a confidential meeting comprised of the board president, the secretary, the membership chair, the liason and the personnel chair would occur. Further meetings with the teacher and/or parent would occur. If resolution still did not occur, the issue would come before the board. If there was still conflict, it would be brought to the membership.
It can be a labor intensive, frustrating, yet amazing process. Yes, there are times that I wish that a paid administrator would just take care of the whole thing - the beauty and the curse of a co-op. But all parties are heard and resolution does occur. I have yet to see such conflict drag all the way to a membership meeting vote - apparently that did happen years ago - maybe the process is improving... The community works together and the job gets done.
I was not a ''co-op person'' prior to four years ago, when my first child started Crestmont. I had great trepedation that the school would be ''flakey'' and wondered how it could possibly work. I'm happy to say that, at least for our family, it is working beautifully. There are a lot of wonderful families that are interested in working together, some putting in many hours, some putting in fewer, some varying year to year, depending on their life needs.
It might not be the perfect match for every family, but if you are curious about how Crestmont works, come on a tour or to our information event on January 15th, from 7 to 9 p.m. You might be surprised at how appealing our school can be.
Crestmont School is at 6226 Arligton Blvd., in the Richmond hills. Call our enrollment line at 237-9336 or check out our website at www.crestmontschool.org. sara
I am posting this message in response to a query put out earlier this month re private schools and diversity. This was written by Karen Pojmann, our Diversity Chair.
What makes Crestmont's brand of diversity special is our ability to provide an inclusive place for families who might not have one in the community at large, as well as for those who do. Our small, 67 student cooperative school currently supports 20 multiracial families, a dozen immigrant parents, six families with gay-lesbian/bisexual parents, and four families with adopted children. Our teachers integrate the celebration and appreciation of diversity into the curriculum daily.
We so highly value fostering a multicultural perspective that we have dedicated a board position, a committee and an annual parents' event to the topic. We look forward to broadening our horizons even further.
To learn more please come to our information event on Saturday, November 15th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., or on Thursday, January 15th, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., or call 510) 237-9336 to schedule a tour. You can also check out our website at www.crestmontschool.org. For more information on diversity, please e-mail Karen Pojmann at pojmannova at aol.com sara
We have 3 children and two of our boys have gone to Crestmont School on the Arlington in Richmond, our last will probably start there this fall in K. While no school is perfect, Crestmont offers families the opportunity and the responsibility to get involved in their children's education. It is a parent coop, teachers have sole say over what they teach, parents make up the board, help in classrooms, serve on committees or help in other ways, including scrubbing an occaisional toilet! The teachers are responsive, talented and enthusiasitic! The families are mostly loving, caring and interesting and so of course are their kids! I have loved the concept of developmentally appropriate learning that has let my kids move ahead and be challenged when ready and supported if needed. Wonderful emphasis on all learning including a strong art program! Check it out, it is a wonderful resource and a bargain in the private school world to boot! Jennifer
I have been a parent of children attending Crestmont School for the past 8 years. I truly love the school. As well as educating my children it has educated, supported and nutured me as a parent. I highly recommend it. The school has just developed a web site http://www.crestmontschool.org. Please check it out. We still have a few openings. It is located in Richmond on the Arlington, with children attending from Pinole to Berkeley and even across the bridge in Marin (Terra Linda). Susan
Crestmont School is having an information Day on Saturday, November 14 from 11:00 AM -1:00 PM. There will be an open house followed by a presentation by the teachers and parents. Crestmont is a small, nonprofit, nonsectarian parent-administered cooperative for grades K through 5.
The school was founded in 1969 with the goal of creating an environment that would encourage curiosity, creative thinking, and community spirit for children of all backgrounds. Crestmont's excellent, credentialed teachers have designed a strong curriculum in language arts, mathematics, sciences, social sciences, and fine arts. The academic curriculum is complemented by frequent field trips and opportunities for community involvement.
Crestmont is committed to ethnic, racial and economic diversity in its membership. The school maintains an active outreach program, scholarships, and offers participation credits to maintain affordable tuition.
Extended care is offered from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Crestmont is located at 6226 Arlington Boulevard in Richmond.
I thought the UCB parents might be interested in the open house for Crestmont School. My oldest child age 14 (now in 9th grade) attended and my two younger children in third and first grade attend this school. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it. The classes are small (average 15 per class), with an aide and participating parent creating a ratio of approx. 1 adult per 5 children most of the time. What I like best about the school is that the children are allowed to learn at thier own pace. My oldest was behind (didn't read until 3rd grade) when he came to the school and he learned at his pace without feeling like he was dumb or slow. My younger children are both ahead in some areas and are allowed to move on without waiting for the class to catch up. Children are taught to accept each others differences and value them for who they are, not what they can or can't do. The school is located on the Arlington about 15 mins. from campus. I would be happy to answer questions regarding the school if anyone wants by email or phone. Here is the official blurb from the school:

How to Implement the VSI Program
at your high school
As educators, you are trying to prepare your students for the future which may include higher education. Many high schools now offer to their students the ability to gain college credit as well as complete their high school courses by implementing dual-credit programs offered through colleges and/or universities. UMKC can be your partner in this endeavor by offering a variety of courses depending on your staffing situation.
VSI courses are video-based, distance education courses that provide instruction and evaluation by UMKC faculty. With training and support, the high school teacher plays the role of a facilitator by checking for understanding, preparing students for exams, and mediating the exams. Offering a rigorous college curriculum with the flexibility of a high school timeline, VSI courses meets the needs of many high schools who cannot staff teachers with masters or afford expensive video conferencing equipment.
If you think VSI might be right for you, please read more about the VSI Program in our brochure and navigate this site. Please contact our office at 816-235-1166 or email us at email@example.com if you have any additional questions.
To start the process:
- Complete the Intent to Implement form indicating which courses you plan to offer.
- We will contact you and confirm the information and guide you in the next steps in the process.

As an airport employee, I have found Foxwood Apartments to be exactly everything that I am looking for. Close to shopping and dining, and more importantly very close to IAH. I have had no problems with the property in the 6 months that I have been living at Foxwood. The complex is very quiet, the apartments are clean and very servicable to your needs. The staff is very helpful and I am always greeted with a caring smile, instead of just being "another tennant". I would recommend Foxwood to anyone lookign for a nice clean and quiet complex!

CSCOR has been funding Hypoxia research (waters with too little oxygen to support most marine life, or "dead zones") for nearly 20 years. The goal of CSCOR hypoxia programs is to provide timely and high-quality scientific results for use by natural resource managers in an effort to restore and protect coastal ecosystems. This program's main accomplishments include:
Scientific Basis for Adaptive Management of Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia
Management actions to reduce the size of the dead zone in the northern Gulf of Mexico are developed through the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force. CSCOR research funded during the 1990's provided the foundation for an Integrated Assessment completed in 2000 that examined the distribution, dynamics and causes of the hypoxic zone. This scientific assessment provided the basis for the development of the Task Force's 2001 Action Plan to reduce, mitigate, and control the hypoxic zone. CSCOR has met many of the science needs outlined in the 2000 Integrated Assessment and 2001 Action Plan through its NGOMEX program. Accomplishments from the NGOMEX program, including model development, forecasting, and monitoring, formed the basis for a recent scientific reassessment of the 2001 Action plan. This reassessment led to an EPA Science Advisory Board report and culminated in the completion of a 2008 Action Plan.
Click here for more information.
Quantifying the Impacts of Hypoxia to Living Resources
Understanding the impacts of hypoxia on living resources has become an increasing focus of CSCOR funded research in the Gulf of Mexico and other US coastal waters. Although questions remain, this research has found the displacement of shrimp and fish from important habitat in the Gulf of Mexico as well as displacement and reductions in growth of fish from Delaware Inland Bays. Research on plankton, which forms the basis of the food chain, in Lake Erie, Chesapeake Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico, has found alterations to the relationship between plankton and predators that rely on them for food. Other CSCOR-funded scientists have found sub-lethal impacts to reproduction in fish using new molecular techniques, applied economic models to assess the socioeconomics of hypoxia impacts, and found reduced growth in shrimp exposed to hypoxia. An understanding of the impacts of hypoxia is critical to the development of effective management strategies. Click here for more information
Model Development and Forecasting the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico
CSCOR has funded the development of at least four Gulf of Mexico models (Turner et al 2005, 2006; Scavia 2003, 2004; Justic et al 2002; Hetland and Dimarco 2008) related to the Gulf of Mexico dead zone. These models in addition to others developed by EPA have been used to determine the percent reduction in nutrient loads (45% reduction in both nitrogen and phosphorus) needed to reduce the size of the dead zone to the target size (5,000 km2). Since 2003, several of these models have successfully forecasted the size of the dead zone (area of low oxygen) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This prediction helps managers, policy makers, and the public better understand what causes the dead zone. Click here for more information.
Measuring the Size of the Dead Zone
Every July since 1985, Nancy Rabalais of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) with funding support from CSCOR, has mapped the size of the dead zone. Monitoring the size and geographic coordinates of the dead zone provide critical information both for measuring effectiveness of management strategies to reduce it but also as input to models being developed to explain the causes and forecast its ebb and flow over the course of the season. Click here for more information.
Modeling and Forecasting Hypoxia in the rest of US Coastal Waters
The number of areas in coastal waters with too little oxygen to support most marine life, otherwise known as dead zones, has greatly increased since the 1960s. Four hundred systems worldwide, including 166 in US waters, now have documented dead zones. A review paper (SCIENCE Aug 14) by CSCOR (CHRP) - funded researcher Robert Diaz of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and Rutger Rosenberg of the University of Gothenburg, attributes this dramatic trend to increasing nutrient pollution and the burning of fossil fuels.
CSCOR is currently funding development of two major regional models for Chesapeake Bay/Delaware Inland Bays and Narragansett Bay and one major watershed hypoxia project for Atlantic and Gulf coast estuaries. CSCOR has also provided funding to ascertain the causes of hypoxia in Hood Canal in Washington. The project scientists are working closely with coastal resource managers to cater the model outcomes to information needed for coastal zone and nutrient management decisions.

Laymon Pigford linking
Hi, Steve,
You'll get a "Decline" notice on linking Laymon to his parents. It's because I got a request to link Laymon to Laymon, by accident. I gladly manually linked him, but have to decline just this one.
We all have our "oops" moments, or maybe there was a sun spot somewhere in the Galaxy, that caused the Find A Grave Server to hiccup.
Have a good day.

RE: Arch McDonald
Thanks for the info. My mother is Janelle McDonald Taylor. She was the youngest of the 11 children and the only one still surviving. There were 4 girls and 7 boys including a stillborn baby. Several of her siblings are buried at the Chestnut Grove along with my grandparents. Samuel Lawrence, Daisy Maudine ans William Carl are in the same row. Arch, Jr, Bennie Leon, Laura Dell Ross and their spouses are also buried close by. Arch, Jr.'s son, Glen is also buried their. Thomas and his wife are buried at Siloam Baptist Church. My Dad is also buried there. Robert and his wife are buried in Cowan, TN, not sure of the cemetary. The last daughter, Mattie, is buried in Thomaston Cemetary in Thomaston, AL.
The story is told that my great grandmother, Mattie, grieved herself to death after the sudden passing of her daughter, Mary Pearl. My grandmother said she died from a ruptured appendix, I think Mattie passed a year or so after Mary's death. My grandfather remarried a few years later and my grandfather and his brothers took care of their step mother until her death.
My mother still lives on the land that Grandpa Sam left my grandfather. From what I understand, Sam and Mattie's home place is across the road from where I grew up.
Thank you for the information regarding the New's. I have relayed your information to my cousin, Jean Pantel. Her grandfather is Robert McDonald, my grandfathers brother.
She has been working on our family tree.

Arch McDonald
Hello Steve,
Just saw where you had left flowers on several. McDonalds in the Chestnut Grove cemetery in Sumter County, Alabama. Arch and Bertha were my maternal grandparents. My great grandfather, Samuel Canady McDonald, is also buried there along with some of my grandfather's siblings. You had also noted that he was your cousin. I have a cousin who is working on the McDonald genealogy and I wondered how were are related. I look forward to hearing from you.

RE: Wilson Covington
Steve, Thanks for your response. It took me about 40 mins to research the problem enough to figure out it was incorrect.
Without people like you and me, . . . well, even we fill the world with "un-facts" sometime.
I have Thomas family in my lineage too. It looks like the Covingtons and the Thomas's are a common interest.
THanks, again.

D415 - Can't download videos to my computer!!!
Does anybody know how to transfer the D415 vids to a computer?? I have the data cable and all that and I successfully download pictures all the time. I'm using EasyGPRS. To download images, one would normally go to the file manager. When the screen comes up, it has a little phone icon titled "MyPhone." It contains two folders - "MyPhoto," and "Video." As I said the picture folder works great but the video folder is always empty... even though there's obviously videos on my phone. I don't know what's going on. I have heard of other people doing being able to download their videos, but they never say how. Can anyone help?!?
