Anger is not always a bad thing. It provides us with the opportunity to express negative feelings, show others a problem exists and find solutions. However, if anger is not managed properly it can be detrimental, intensifying to the point of physical and verbal violence. If not controlled, it can lead to problems in all areas of life.
Teens today are faced with a myriad of emotional issues that can ignite anger. Add to that the stress of a changing relationship between teens and parents as the teens test their independence. Teenagers need to learn ways to express anger in productive, less harmful ways. Here are some starting points:
Anger is a normal emotion that everyone can experience at times, but it is easy for it to get the best of us. Parents should model how they would like their teens to act, keeping in mind that they can't yell at their sons and daughters to stop yelling. Providing teachable moments will allow teenagers to learn appropriate anger management skills before they are out in the world on their own.
And remember, if you encounter a problem you can't solve on your own, there is help. Log onto ParentCentral.Net or TeenCentral.Net to work it out and get advice from peers and trained professionals.
Ed Donley (center) stands with his daughter, Martha Robb (left), his son, Thomas Donley, and his daughter-in-law, Cindy Donley.
Inez Donley is a familiar name in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania and beyond. Her lifelong philanthropic efforts touched many organizations, from the Allentown Public Library to the American Red Cross to Cedar Crest College. But today, she was honored for her unflagging dedication to KidsPeace and the children we serve.
Donley, who died in January at the age of 97, was recognized today for her powerful impact on our organization with the unveiling of a memorial in her honor. In a fitting move, the plaque now hangs in the Donley Therapeutic Education Center, a central hub on the Orchard Hills Campus made possible through a $1 million donation from Inez and her husband, Ed Donley. The Donleys donated more than $1.47 million to KidsPeace during Inez's life, and the Donley Foundation recently gave another $25,000 to continue the efforts close to Inez's heart.
In addition to her financial contributions, Inez served as a board member for 15 years and remained an honorary member until her death. Members of her family, along with numerous community members and local politicians, attended today's memorial unveiling.
KidsPeace has proclaimed that Aug. 6, which was Inez's birthday, will will be recognized annually as Inez Donley Day, and will be a day to encourage all associates to volunteer within the community.
If you would like to make a contribution to KidsPeace in Inez Donley's memory, please visit our donation page or call Patrick Slattery at 800-25-PEACE, ext. 8326.
Depression is the most common mental health problem in the U.S. Children under stress; who experience loss or who have learning, conduct, or anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for depression. Depression also tends to run in families.
But how do you know if your child is suffering from depression? Below are a few signs you need to take seriously:
These are just a few signs, however if you notice any of these there is a good chance your child or teenager may be suffering from depression. As with any mental illness, early intervention is critical. It is worth noting that during the teen years you will see behavior changes, and they do not all indicate depression. So how do we know if it is time to seek medical attention? When the mood lingers for a long time – weeks or months and limits the child's ability to function normally, it can be diagnosed as depression.
As parents, we obviously want our children to be healthy and happy. Don't wait if you suspect a problem; seek medical attention immediately. Depression can be successfully treated in 80 percent of the cases. But if it goes untreated, it can be deadly as it is a major risk factor for suicide. It also may help to log onto www.ParentCentral.Net or direct your child to www.TeenCentral.Net to hear from other people battling similar circumstances.
Avoiding peer pressure may sound simple enough, but for many it is not. The teen years can take a toll on teens and their family. Teens are dealing with many pressures in life; just figuring out who they are is enough in itself. It is important as parents that we help our teenagers develop the self confidence to withstand peer pressure, and make their own decisions.
Teens like to do what their friends are doing so they can feel accepted. However, this does not always lead to healthy physical or emotional outcomes. The best way for a teen to avoid being the only one saying no to peer pressure is to choose friends with similar values who will back them up when they don't want to do something.
If teens find themselves struggling to avoid peer pressure, they should not be afraid to seek help in the form of a parent, teacher, counselor or www.TeenCentral.Net, a free, online, anonymous counseling site. The site, which focuses on everything from bullying to drug and alcohol use to dating violence, even has special sections dedicated to children in foster care, those whose parents are in the military or those looking to explore religion and faith.
By Dr. John DeGarmo
As there are differences in foster care services throughout the United States, it comes as no surprise then that there are also vast and wide differences in the way nations around the world implement their foster care services and agencies. In truth, the term "foster care" is one that has tremendous differences in various areas of the world. In many industrialized nations, foster care is commonly referred to a temporary placement, made by a state child welfare agency, with a family. For many third world and developing nations, the term "foster care" is one that refers to something that is quite different than the system established in industrialized nations. In many developing nations across the globe, poor economic situations leave little financial assistance for government assistance. Lack of available health care, adoption organizations and governmental aid for families and children are the reality.
Throughout much of Africa, the practice of placing underprivileged children into other homes is an old tradition, and not an uncommon one. As educational opportunities increase in many African nations, children are also being "fostered out" to other families, families that are closer large cities where schools are more readily available. The poor economic environment in Africa has severely affected the fostering system. The high costs of installing an effective foster care system prohibit many African countries from developing it.
For the millions of orphan children in Asian countries, the foster care system offers little hope. Fortunately, many children whose parents have died find outside parental care with extended family members, in a form of kinship living arrangement, a type of family preservation service. For some Asian nations, this is the only option that is supported by the government. As a result, millions of children who have no living extended family members find themselves without a home. More often than not, Asian governments are quick to place children into orphanages, which are overcrowded and understaffed, with children living in poor conditions.
Japan's foster care system is one that is seldom used. For those children who fall outside the cultural traditions of the nation, it is often difficult for them to find a home that is welcoming. Japan's culture is one that is resistant to foster children. Another struggle that foster children face in Japan is the lack of aftercare provisions. For those children who have aged out of the foster care system, they have little to no support, and often are completely on their own.
European countries are generally considered to have the most advanced foster care systems available. However, there are distinct differences across the continent. In the Scandinavian nations, the system is perhaps the most efficient and advanced. The governments of these nations are very involved in the promotion of foster care, and provide sufficient funds, staff and training. Western European nations have seen a reduction of government involvement in foster care, though it is still a highly developed child welfare system. Central and Eastern European nations has the weakest foster care system and the fewest amount of foster homes on the continent, but the greatest need.
Efforts are under way to bring about social change in a global foster care system. Organizations, such as the International Foster Care Organization (IFCO), are working hard to bring about a more unified way to support foster children around the world. Yet, there is much work to be done, as the foster care system is one that is drastically uneven in all four corners of the globe. All children, regardless of where they are born, have the right to a loving home, a supportive family and a stable environment. An improved global foster care system will help to make that dream a reality for millions of children.
Dr. John DeGarmo has been a foster parent for 11 years, and he and his wife have had more than 40 children come through their home. He is a speaker and trainer on many topics about the foster care system, and travels around the nation delivering passionate, dynamic, energetic and informative presentations. Dr. DeGarmo is the author of "Fostering Love: One Foster Parent's Story," and the new training book "The Foster Parenting Manual: A Practical Guide to Creating a Loving, Safe and Stable Home." He also writes for a number of publications and newsletters, both in the United States and overseas. Dr. DeGarmo can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com, through his Facebook page, Dr. John DeGarmo, or at http://drjohndegarmofostercare.weebly.com.
In 1990, Congress established the first week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week. As the years have gone by, we are getting much better in doing this on an ongoing basis, but we still have room for improvement. Those who struggle with mental illness still find it difficult to be open about it because of the stigma that still exists. But we need to ignore what everyone else is thinking and take care of ourselves. We need to remember that mental illness not only affects the lives of the sufferers but the lives of everyone around them.
It is very easy in today's society to feel overwhelmed. Some of us are better than others at handling everyday frustrations. But it is important to seek help if necessary. KidsPeace recognizes the need for mental health awareness and treatment every day of the year, but October is a good opportunity for a reminder. Let's provide hope, help, and healing to our entire community. Once you choose hope, anything is possible.
What happened to my happy, carefree child? Children should have no worries; that is what we would like to believe. However, children and young adults can suffer from stress just like adults. Actually they have a tougher time than adults because they have fewer experiences in dealing with stress and do not know how to handle it.
What can cause stress in children? Stress can be caused by what is happening at home – family arguments, divorce or illness. If your children hear you talking about these matters, it may be overwhelming for them. TV can cause stress if they are watching news about war, terrorism or natural disasters. Also as your children age, academic and social pressures can create stress.
What are some signs and symptoms of stress in children? It is not always easy to recognize when your child is stressed, however you may notice mood swings, changes in sleep patterns, headaches, stomachaches and even acting out behaviors. What is most important is that we as parents are available to help our children deal with these stressors. They may not want to talk, but just being there for them is important. Spend quality time with them; ask how their day was at school. They will know that you care and sometimes are more apt to share information when asked. When they are ready to talk, you can work together to come up with some solutions to the problem. Maybe spending more time together is the key, adding or eliminating after-school activities or getting involved in an exercise program. Also proper rest and good nutrition are important for a child's mental health and wellbeing.
When kids won't talk and their symptoms of stress concern you, you may need to consult a professional for help. Remind your children that stress is normal. Let your children know it is OK to feel lonely, scared or angry. But you also want to let them know that it is OK to seek additional help from a friend, teacher or counselor. The most important thing is that the child knows you care. For additional information on this and other topics, log onto www.ParentCentral.Net.

I am interested in helping with a booth for the 2009 Healthy Baby Fair & Family Expo at the John S. Knight Center in Akron on Saturday, October 3, 2009. It is coordinated by the Akron Health Department, and is free admission. Anyone interested in hosting it with me?
I am a preeclampsia survivor from my 2nd pregnancy. I hadn't hardly heard about preeclampsia until I was diagnosed at 36 weeks. Wish someone had warned me about it sooner. I am lucky that my son & I are fine... my BP plummeted while on the operating table during my the cesarean section.
Please reply if you are available, even for a couple hours. The entire fair is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thank you!

I Use this to lock a bike rack into hitch receiver. Works great!

Very easy to use and takes all the movement out of your hitch and associated toys. If you have an extender, it must be hollow to use the anti rattle function on this pin. Otherwise you will need a J pin type lock.

After just having my utility trailer stolen, I purchased this device an and installed on my new trailer which was very easy. Not only does it lock around wheel and tire, it also has built in wheel chock. Only negative thing I can think of is remembering to remove it when you go to use trailer.

Birth Place: Terrell, Texas, USA
Born Eric Bishop on Dec. 13, 1967 in Terrell, TX, Foxx was adopted and raised by his maternal grandparents, Mark and Esther, who took over parenting duties when his father, Shaheed, a stockbroker, and his mother, Louise, a homemaker, divorced when he was young. Despite being a class clown, Foxx was a precocious child who learned classical piano from the time he was five, thanks to the prodding encouragement of his grandmother. He eventually attended Terrell High School, where he excelled at both music and athletics, playing quarterback on the football team and becoming the first player at the school to ever pass for 1,000 yards. After graduation, he received a music scholarship for U.S. Inte... Continue Bio >>

She sighs heavily, dropping to the ground, flopping down exhausted onto the spot where minutes ago she had been vigorously pushing the worn metal scraper. Every centimeter of old, dried glue has now been lifted away revealing the raw wood, unveiling long, slim, pale slats of parquet, and all of her hard, painful, concentrated work is rewarded by a gorgeous stretch of livingroom floor. Sunlight floods in and across the glowing pine, a near angelic golden warmth wrapping around her. She pushes herself up and wanders room to room amid the echoes of "You all done?!", contentedly surveying a job well done, basking in the pride of their having achieved so much, even at their age.
With a satisfying scritch scritch of the Velcro, she yanks off the now worn yellow and black work gloves and tosses them onto the nearest radiator. Her pink sneakers are enveloped in an ethereal dusting of white powder, her knees are a lovely shade of bruised, the color of aubergine, her clothes smudged and smeared with weeks of manual labor. Battered white paper masks now streaked with the brown of wood dust are scattered across floors where they have been pulled off willy-nilly and left to retire. She glances into what will one day be a sparkling new bathroom all in shades of black and white to see how the men have advanced. Dust and grime coat old tiling speckled with bits of plaster as holes where walls once stood are filled. Pencil marks delineate bathtub and shower and light fixtures. Plumbers wander in and out, analyzing, pondering, debating. Through the open window, she listens to the noise of boards being crowbarred off of the balcony slats, boards to be replaced with insulated panels. A new laundry room!
The kitchen has become the universal holdall, tool shed and general dump; the last of the bags of wood dust and gravel, the old industrial vacuum cleaner, ramshackle, jerry-rigged tables and shelves holding a world of tools and equipment at the ready. Half-drunk cans of soda, boxes of cookies and other various paraphernalia of a construction site fill in the gaps. She squints and works her imagination, envisioning this space as a gorgeous open kitchen all in creamy shades of white, brown and gray. But first, the floors must be looked after. Her job is done and now it is time for Men and Machines.
3 days of sanding ensue: heavy machinery whirs and buzzes and roars across the parquet, shaking the building, resonating through the entire neighborhood. Industrial sanders pushed heavily, patiently back and forth, back and forth as the dust billows around his scruffed sneakers. Son follows, leaning over the tiny edger, pushing it into corners and up against the woodwork. She scurries after them, broom in hand, gathering up the sawdust, leaving the wood clear for yet another turn of the machines. One day and two, three days of muscle and sweat and now the wood is stripped completely bare. Now swathe those boards lovingly in sheets of plastic, carefully pushed up against the woodwork and taped, sealed against any wayward spattering of paint. For now the painting must begin.
And she hurries home to bake, something gentle, homey and calming, to soothe sore bodies and sour souls (which sometimes happens in such situations). A tea bread. Chocolate, of course. Light and airy, less dense and moist than usual. With the snap, the pliant crunch of chopped nuts. Nothing complicated, no gooey dessert. Just something to slice and pick up with the fingers, those fingers now scraped, worn and calloused, an ideal cake for any time of the day, from breakfast to snack. Sit and savor a slice or two in the early morning when the sky is fading from black to gray, dunked in a steaming bowl of café au lait. Just to brace the nerves and build up energy for yet another day of work. Or snitch a slice quickly as one passes through the kitchen late in the afternoon, swallowed down greedily, hungrily, washed down with a tall cool glass of milk.
We wash off the grime before dinner, and spread a cloth on the coffee table in the livingroom. Dinner together, as a family, forgetting the sore muscles, putting off disagreements until tomorrow, just for another evening. Pass around thick slices of Chocolate Tea Bread lightly dusted with powdered sugar and place a scoop of ice cream atop each one. Or a froth of whipped cream. And make it a special dessert.
Until tomorrow.
Adapted from ideals Hershey's Chocolate and Cocoa Cookbook, 1982
1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) sugar
3 large eggs
2 ¼ cups (315 g) flour
1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup (185 ml) milk
About 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch standard loaf pan.
Cream the butter, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk to combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. On low speed, beat the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar/egg mixture in 3 additions alternating with the milk in 2 additions, beating just to blend, no more. Using a spatula, fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes or until well risen and just set in the center.
Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before sliding a knife blade around the edges to loosen and remove from the pan.
Tea breads are slightly drier and cakier than regular quick breads and are best eaten the day of or within 2 days of baking. This is a wonderful chocolate bread to eat with a mug of tea or coffee or a glass of milk simply dusted with powdered sugar. Although a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream never hurt anybody. The perfect treat to decompress, a soul-soothing snack after a long, hard day of work.

Weidman waiting for win over Silva to sign new contract - Mixed Martial Arts News
It is pretty common for most UFC athletes to sign a new contract with the organization before their first big title fight. A new contract usually comes with a pay raise for being the number one contender and outlines his pay structure going forward as champion, should he win.
Chris Weidman on the other hand is confident in his ability to win and will wait after his title bout with Anderson Silva before signing a new contract. The move is risky: If he loses he may not get the same kind of pay day he would have in the title, but if he wins he's a strong negotiation position as the UFC champion. Weidman elaborated on his decision to MMAJunkie Radio:
"I think we're just going to keep the contract," Weidman told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMA Radio, UFC Radio - MMAjunkie Radio). "I'm definitely OK with making what I was making. I think I was making $24,000 (to show) and $24,000 (to win). I want to do that because then after I beat Anderson like I plan on doing, then obviously the contract will jump up more than if I was to rip up the contract now. I'm ready to put all my eggs in one basket and put my money where my mouth is."
It's a bold statement for the 28-year-old New Yorker. After all, with just nine career bouts to his name, Weidman's critics have wondered whether or not he's even deserving of a chance to step in the cage with the sport's top pound-for-pound fighter. But Weidman believes he's made each of those nine appearances count, taking on the biggest challenges available at each step along the way.
"People say I don't have that many fights, which is true, but I've never had an easy fight," Weidman said. "Even when I was in Ring of Combat, we always wanted to get the best guys because I wanted to get that experience. Guys like Uriah Hall, who's coming up 'The Ultimate Fighter,' I fought that guy in my third fight.

(The Big Dig is a video series by The Bulletin following the massive effort to clean up Pakit Liquidators — a large, cluttered home improvement resale yard on Bend's east side — so it can host the 2013 Bend Roots Revival. Click here to watch the whole series.)
Time flies when you're cleaning up junk for the sake of art. It has been a month since we checked in with the folks who are working to get Pakit Liquidators ready to host the 2013 Bend Roots Revival, which is scheduled to begin in two weeks. In that time, Roots organizers have submitted their plans to the City of Bend, and a work party was held to try to take a big chunk out of the remaining workload at Pakit.
The Bulletin's multimedia guru, Leilani Rapaport, visited both City Hall and the work party to get a sense for what the Roots Revival needs to get done over the next couple of weeks. Here's her report:

Versatile artist Claire Farrell's work will be on display at the Columbia's City Art Gallery until July 27.
Her oil paintings and recent mixed media pieces will be on display.
"More traditional in nature are her oil paintings," according to a release.
The subject matter of these paintings ranges from figure painting to the landscape of the Carolinas and Italy.
Her exhibit's mixed media printmakings – something she has been experimenting with for the past several years – are inspired by a recent interest of her.
The series is called "The Wright Stuff." They are influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, his student Fay Jones and artists and architects that influenced him.
"These works in no way replicate the work of the great master but are simply an attempt to employ some of his ideas and designs in a different medium and in an unexplored way," a release stated.
Monotype, chine collé, collage, solar plate etching and drawing are some of her techniques that she uses for her work on paper.
Farrell went to Duke University and the University of South Carolina. She also attended
Santa Raparata Art School in Florence, Italy, and Penland School of Art in North Carolina to study printmaking.
The gallery is located at 1224 Lincoln St. It is open Mondays to Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, call Wendyth Wells at 803-252-3613 or visit www.cityartonline.com.

Jesse and the gang wait for word on Angie's surgery, Erica reassures Jack, and Greenlee and Kendall spend time with their husbands.
At the restaurant, Krystal tells Ryan she would forgive David anything if Babe were alive. Ryan thinks that's what David is banking on. Jack joins them, as Ryan urges Krystal not to buy into David's games. Jack backs him up as Ryan steps away to take a call. Jack tells Krystal David is baiting Erica as well, but Jack doesn't think she fell for it. Krystal counters that Erica took it hook, like and sinker because she went to L.A. to find Mike Roy. Jack wonders why Erica can't let it go.
While Erica waits for her plane at the airport, Verla Grubbs recognizes her and tries to chat her up. Erica tries to escape her, but then learns who she is. Verla explains she's going to the high school reunion to reunite with Sam Brady. Erica relays that Opal is getting a second chance with Sam and orders her not to steal him away again. Verla won't be denied a second chance at love with Sam. Once Verla is gone, Erica recalls having to choose between Mike and Jack. Jack shows up to confront Erica about going to L.A. for Mike Roy. She tells him she just needs to see this through because Mike is a friend. Jack recalls that she loved Mike, but she reminds Jack she chose him. She always will because he is the man she is meant to be with. Jack knows that but he fears she forgets that once in awhile. Erica retorts that she never forgets that because she always wants to be his heart. He is the only man in her life. Jack knows that and tells her to go, but to tell him the truth from now on. She promises when she gets back they will plan their wedding.
David questions Cara as she tests herself at the hospital for cancer. Zach enters and after Cara scurries out, he tells David Ryan is a problem that needs to be fixed. Zach tells him the more he knows about Orpheus, the more he can help. David won't tell him anything, so Zach says he'll take care of Ryan to gain his trust.
Tad finds Jesse waiting at the hospital, as Angie undergoes surgery. Jesse is more worried about Angie forgiving him though. Tad suggests Jesse let Angie mourn Ellie and deal with whatever comes next. It will take time, but he knows Angie will forgive him. David comes upon them to say Angie's surgery is going as planned. Once Tad has left, Frankie and Randi show up to wait with Jesse. When Jesse beats himself up over deceiving Angie, Randi empathizes with him. Jesse just hopes Angie can forgive him some day. Frankie knows she will. Tad returns, as Jake brings Krystal to wait with the group. Everyone eventually leaves Jesse alone to breathe, except Tad who declares he's staying. Frankie returns to tell his father Angie's surgery is over.
After Cara pulls David away from a confrontation with Jake, they head to his office. David tells Cara if her cancer is back, he will help her fight it because he has treatments no one else has. She wonders if he cares about her or if she's just another guinea pig. David values their relationship and tells her she doesn't have to go through this alone. She says if she is sick, she will remain in control of her treatment. David promises to be there for her on her terms.
At ConFusion, Greenlee and Kendall bemoan the fact that their men are obsessed with David. Greenlee plans to fix that by seducing her husband. Kendall fears this whole thing with Zach isn't real. Greenlee assures her it is, but it won't be the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After Greenlee leaves, Kendall calls Zach to tell him she needs him.
Zach returns home to Kendall, who wants things the way things used to be before Orpheus. Zach pulls out Kendall's diamond ring and says it's time for her to put it back on. Kendall tells her husband to show her how much he loves her and he leads her to the bedroom. After they have sex, Kendall wishes they could stay like this forever. Zach gets a call and gets out of bed to take it.
Greenlee finds a tropical surprise waiting for her at home. She laughs and tells Ryan she was planning to surprise him too. Ryan promises to stop obsessing about Orpheus when he stops David. Greenlee changes into some lingerie she bought for him. He picks her up and takes her to the bedroom. After they have sex, Greenlee tells Ryan she's scared about him going after David. Ryan promises her he will stay safe.
Tomorrow's Pine Valley spoilers for All My Children:
Tad appreciates his brother.
Angie must wait to see if the surgery worked.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
First off, it's important to warn you that, like shopping at the supermarket, you should never read a Blog on an empty stomach. Especially one that talks about food.
I can remember being a kid at the shops with my Mum, moaning about being hungry and she says something about kids in Africa and I say I'm still hungry. So out comes the 10 pence piece – enough to FILL to the brim one of those little white paper bags full of sugary goodness.
Food can create such intense associations with memory. We were not fancy eaters in our house. Indeed, I don't think a piece of pasta passed my lips until I was a grown woman. My parents did not understand it at all. Foreign muck. But they did comprehend the power of the universal child quietener.
Sweets. Candy. Call it what you will, it's a timeless treat for a child with wide eyes and an appreciation of colour.
Our local sweet-shop (for my brother and me) was the newsagent. As for many kids in the UK in the 70s we found that that silvery 10p was easily enough to cram a bag full of ha'penny yummies. Back in the day when a ha'penny was a real thing. Frankly, looking back now, almost all of the sweets we used to eat have disappeared – perhaps this is because they were almost entirely inedible or unethical.
Take Parma Violets for example. Whose stupid idea was that?! Sweets that taste like perfume? They smelled like my nan (whom I adored by the way – and I suppose it was better than wee).
The long thin paper-wrapped tubes seemed to overtake the traditional 'quarter' of sweets in a 3-cornered bag. Refreshers were a family favourite. "The fizz that gives you whizz" was the tagline (sad I know) and featured a granny on speed (or Refreshers presumably). No wonder our parents were reluctant for us to eat too many of them.
My favourites were Sweet Cigarettes. My 12 year old's face is a picture as I tell him that back in the day we used to call a spade a spade. My, how times change! Not only did we buy them (in bulk on occasion) but we pretended to 'smoke' them as if they were real. If I remember correctly they even had pink tips to simulate burning ash!!! But, my, they were tasty.
Sherbert dabs were another treat. Still sold today but in modern form. The old-fashioned variety would be a little white bag of loose sherbert (colour of your choice if you were lucky), accompanied by a stick of liquorice to dip in to it. More speed.
I also remember the often forgotten Cherry Blobs. Oh, and an outfit was simply not complete until it was paired with a fetching necklace made from pastel coloured sweets on a string of elastic. You can wear it AND you can eat it – who knew?!
The newsagent was a place where children skulked in corners whilst adults purchased newspapers, but when the counter was free, the great family of giant jars came into view. Cherry lips, Wine Gums, Chocolate Eclairs and Chewing Nuts, Honeycomb and 'Millions'. What a feast for the eyes!
When all was said and done, however, there was one particular sweet which has not only survived the test of time, but has probably been present at most of the defining moments of my progression through childhood. It was there when I fell out of a tree. It was there when I followed my brother and his mates on their Chopper bikes, frantically trying to keep up. It was there when I broke my arm on my plastic roller-skates. Of which old friend do I speak so fondly? It is the humble Bubble Gum.
Always pink and always individually wrapped. I must have chewed a thousand of them and swallowed around 500. This gave my mother grave concern for a good reason. I was, at that stage of my life, a hair sucker. I used to put chunks of hair into my mouth and chew it. My mother was convinced that the combination of hair balls and bubble gum entering my stomach would surely render me instantly defunct. I gave them both up.
The only sweet I could never give up was the one that never ran out. The gobstopper. Gigantic balls of aniseed which changed colour with each new layer. Many a tooth fairy has been called in an emergency as a result of their lingering longevity. You couldn't breathe and eat one. In fact you couldn't swallow your saliva at the same time as you sucked one, so drooling was an awkward consequence. Joy!
I've told you all before that my dad worked at Cadbury's, so here's a little treat to put you in nostalgic mood…..
What were your favourites? I'd love to hear from you with your memories of childhood, sweet-related or not!

There have been three drownings since last week, not to mention near deaths that left swimmers in critical condition. Perhaps the saddest part about these deaths is that they could have possibly been prevented.
"I don't think they're trying to be disrespectful, they just don't understand," said Sammy Sanchez, Fire Marshall with the South Walton Fire District.
With the recent anniversary of Black Sunday, when 10 years ago eight people drowned in rip currents, the importance of educating swimmers about taking safety precautions is more evident than ever.
To read more about Black Sunday, click here
"I'm concerned," said Walton County Commissioner, Sara Comander. "I know people are given the education. You can lead a horse to water..."
SWFD regularly updates social media with flag warnings, not to mention their lifeguards that patrol the beach. The Visit South Walton website keeps beach conditions updated on the home page. And The Tourist Development Council is always looking for innovative ways to educate visitors, said Louis Svehla, public information manager for the Board of County Commissioners.
"It's something that is always discussed, it's front of the mind when we know there's going to be an influx of people," Svehla said. "We have stickers that pizza restaurants can place on the delivery boxes — that are a program open to any private business. We have a text program and a smartphone app to educate people. Whether it's our locals or those on vacation, safety is paramount."
"I think the sheriff's department does a good job — they have 26 miles of beach to patrol," Sanchez said. "They can give citations, but as soon as they pass by, people will get back in the water. We've got to get people to fully understand the dangers."
Last year, WCSO received a little bit of flack from country singer Jason Aldean when he was issued his a citation for swimming on a double red flag day. The celebrity took his frustration to Facebook saying, "Dear officer who gave me a ticket on the beach today for swimming in the water with double red flags...thanks for the warning Barney Fife."
While citations may be tangible reminder to heed the warnings of the colorful flags, safety starts with the individual swimmers, Sanchez said.
"The flags are there for a reason," he said. "Know your abilities, be familiar with your surroundings and respect the Gulf."

It has been 20 years since I was first given some literature written by J. Preston Eby. What an amazing concept Universal Restoration is. I was raised in a traditional Baptist home. I still have my doubts at times, since I am bombarded by traditional ideology, but it is nice to find a community to discuss my skepticism.

Power Nozzles
Power nozzles are vacuum cleaner attachments that are used to clean the nooks of the room where the hose and wands cannot reach. It is also useful to remove the dirt and debris from upholstery and furniture. This is one the accessories that come along with all models and brands of vacuum cleaners. A few of the leading brands of vacuums include Eureka, Hoover, Rainbow, Bissell, Dirt Devil and many more.
How to remove the power-nozzle in Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner
If you want to replace the belt of this brand of vacuum or clean the brush or store the vacuum, the power nozzle has to be removed. Let's see how to take apart the power-nozzle.
• Press down the tab where the wand is attached to the plastic suction pipe. Gently pull the metal pipe away from this handle.
• Now press the tab to remove the power nozzle footplate and pull the wand free. So now you have three parts removed – the wand, suction pipe and wand.
• Using a flat-head screwdriver, flip the footplate over so the base points up. Remove the plastic plate from the underside of the footplate and keep it aside.
• Open the belt cover to gain access to the belt and brush. Lift the brush out of the footplate and unhook the belt from the brush and axle. Now you can clean the brush, replace the belt or simply store the power-nozzle.

Fire destroys home in ChittendenBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 06,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
CHITTENDEN — Heavy dark smoke covered a single-family home on Holden Road late Wednesday morning as local firefighters worked to douse flames that had spread to the attic.
Several firefighter teams used long prods and saws to make various holes throughout the house to allow smoke to exit the house while they worked to find flames and hot spots throughout.
A firefighter on the scene said the house is a total loss.
Firefighters from five towns – Chittenden, Pittsford, Brandon, Proctor, Rutland Town and West Rutland – responded to the scene around 10 a.m.
Paul Crain, who rents the house with his girlfriend and three kids, said he had just arrived home after dropping his girlfriend off at work when he noticed the smoke.
"I came in the door and whoosh (the smoke)," he said while looking at firefighters dousing the home. "I went through the smoke and grabbed my dog and got out."
Crain said nobody was home when it started, but said the flames were coming from the basement.
As of 1:45 p.m. the cause of the fire is unknown.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in... Full StoryWas the response to an alleged assault at College of St. Full Story

Find Campsites
Park Closure Due to Road Construction: Lake Keomah State Park will be temporarily closed after the 2014 recreation season to facilitate the reconstruction of the park roadways. The Construction project which is slated to start after Labor Day, will run through the early portion of the 2015 recreation season. The project will result in a much safer and enjoyable experience for park users as well as local residents. During construction one lane of the park's main roadway will remain open to allow access to Keomah village by resident's, mail carriers, school buses, and park staff. There may be a short period of time where both lanes may need to be closed to facilitate the work. During these periods which will be kept to a minimum, alternate access routes to Keomah Village may be needed. Camping, shelter, lodge, and group camp reservations will not be taken until completion of the project. During the construction the public will not have access to the park. If you have any questions, please contact the park staff at 641-673-6975 for updates on the project. We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience and thank you for your patience while we make improvements to the park.

I understand not wanting to apologize in this fashion, but having to be told to redo it is even worse.
Should've just did it right the first time. I know I'm not the only one to think that Apples first approach would backfire.
Apple's recent apology to Samsung on their website was found to be unsatisfactory by the UK courts. They had since removed the statement from their website and have posted a reworded version that's also appearing in newspapers in the UK.
After ruling that the statement on Apple's site was non-compliant with the order, Apple was ordered to re-write the statement and present it on their website in at least 11-point font. It's now appearing on the bottom of their UK website.
On 25 October 2012, Apple Inc. published a statement on its UK website in relation to Samsung's Galaxy tablet computers. That statement was inaccurate and did not comply with the order of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. The correct statement is at Samsung/Apple UK judgement.
The statement can be found at the very bottom of the UK Apple site and also includes a link to more information on the judgement.

I understand not wanting to apologize in this fashion, but having to be told to redo it is even worse.
Should've just did it right the first time. I know I'm not the only one to think that Apples first approach would backfire.
Should've done what "right' the first time? The judges did not specify word for word what Apple should say. Everything they wrote on their site was "factually" correct. Sure they did it in a smart ass way, but what do you expect Apple to do? Willingly promote a competitor on their site because some moronic judges wanting to make a name for themselves with silly judgments told them to?
Not only were the judges slightly biased in all assessments, but I did not know that in the UK, a judge could force you to "say" something. What's next forcing criminals to write apology letters against their will? This case would have been appealed so fast were this Canada, Australia etc. and the judges would have been replaced.
It's the UK though, and their judicial activism is well becoming legend in the law community.
The judge didn't specify word for word, that is correct. The order was for Apple to post a note that Samsung was found to not be infringing in this case. And they did that... Kind of.
The legal issue with the original statement is that they also went out of their way to actively suggest that Samsung did infringe, by saying that it was found to in Germany (although the injunction no longer stands), and implying that it was in the US (although the judgement didn't find the Galaxy Tab as infringing). This is the part that violated the initial order.
Like it or not, the UK courts (and the Australian and Canadian courts, which are built on the same system) have the right to order Apple to publish the facts on the case, and it isn't unheard of (see ACCC v Apple, Australia). Don't like it? Too bad. Further, to accuse a judge of bias because you disagree the outcome is ridiculous. Regardless of your opinion, every jurisdiction in the world that this has been argued in has now found the Galaxy Tab to be non-infringing.
I can't remember where in the court hierarchy this judgement was made, but rest assured, if Apple still had right to appeal, they would have. Just like they did when they were ordered to post a similar type of statement with regard to "4G" connectivity in Australia at all points of sale of the iPad, and the website.
Apple was NOT ordered to "apologize." Websites, specifically tech websites, keep reporting that. That is inaccurate. Apple was ordered to make a "statement" of the courts factual conclusions. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2012/2049.html
The result of continually saying "apology" is you get riled up internet commenters and Apple haters saying "where is the apology?" There is no apology because they were not ordered to "apologize." They were ordered to make a public "statement" of the decision of the court. This is essentially an "admission" of the facts of the court. But stating that you admit to the facts of a court does not equate to apologizing for perceived wrong doing. And the inaccuracy only incites this sort of cellphone fanboy culture to freak out at the lack of an apology.
To quote The UK Guardian "The acknowledgement – which was depicted as an apology, though neither the court of appeal nor the original high court judgment described it as such – was intended to be a factual statement." http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/nov/01/apple-samsung-statement
The problem with the original statement it wasn't a real statement of the facts as determined by the court it was a snarky restatement of Apple's version of the facts that was not just snarky but inaccurate.
But the notion that the court ordered Apple to apologize is inaccurate.
They could be found in contempt for this as well. The statement was supposed to be on their homepage, not a link to the statement.

And indeed, that has proved to be the case. We know far more about the ancient Sumerians (and the Epic of Gilgamesh, for example) which were inscribed on clay tablets, still readable today ('hard' copy?), than we do of much more recent cultures who transcribed on to papyrus or paper, long since rotted away.

Charles Barton was officially appointed Aiken County Auditor on Monday in a letter sent out by the office of Gov. Nikki Haley.
"I'm excited," Barton said on Monday. "It's going to be a challenge for me and the workers, but I'm sure it's a challenge we can take care of."
Barton's term will begin as soon as he resigns from his District 6 seat on the Aiken County Council and will run until June 30, 2013. In the letter, his term was due to commence on Monday.
Barton said he had not seen the letter yet, but he plans to step down from his council seat this week. He has served two full terms and was halfway through a third on council.
"The office has been vacant for a while now, so it's good to be able to step in," Barton said.
The auditor's responsibilities include the taxation of personal property, such as motor homes, campers, trailers, motorcycles, watercraft and watercraft motors, merchant's furniture, fixtures and equipment, aircraft and manufacturer's real and personal property. It is a four-year term concurrent with the fiscal year.
A special election to fill the vacancy was not required due to Barton being the only one to file for the office after 14 days had passed since the filing period had closed, pursuant to state law. The governor will appoint the position until the office is scheduled to appear on the next general election ballot.
Daniel Turno also ran as a write-in candidate for the position, announcing his candidacy for the position in late October. Barton won with 47,976 votes, or 97 percent.
Editor's note: Daniel Turno was misidentified in a previous version of this story. The Aiken Standard regrets the error.
