"Please, sir, I want some more," asked a hungry orphan named Oliver.
"Oliver!," the Charles Dickens masterpiece of cruel Victorian authority figures who love to bait the orphan, was sponsored by the Foothills Theatre.
Casting children into lead roles can often be challenging.
"There is no greater opening that seems to take a shot at being mean to a kid compared to covering kids in a play," said a theatre critic with the American Theatre Critic Association. "A theatre production takes a great risk with each child because a critic must stay true to being a critic, but most people want to root for the kid."
Tickets were $10 per adult and $7 for children under 12. The musical was held at Elkin High School.
Addison Blackwelder of State Road, who played the title role and looked a lot like Mark Lester appeared in the 1968 movie, provided above adequate entertainment, a near-perfect "Oliver" considering: a heartbreaking, handsome young fellow with an open heart, soul and innocence.
Nine-year-old Addison's expressions too were on-point and captivating even when he had no lines.
"Not only could you hear what Oliver was saying, but you could feel his feelings through his expressions," said JoAnne Wright of Rural Hall, who made the trip to see the musical.
The director of the play for the Foothills Theatre was Leighanne Martin-Wright who didn't cheat through this role either (many directors opt to place an adolescent in this role instead of a child).
However, Dickens intended the character to be a child, and a Martin-Wright chose to have a child be the lead character.
"I'm just so delighted to be here and to work on this play," said Addison. "This was my longest play. I played in Doo-Wop Wed Widing Hood, but this is the only play that I had to change clothes lots of times and adjust to characters."
Addison was thankful to his parents.
"My parents would help me a lot. They were right there for me to assist with practicing my lines. That was a ton of fun," continued Addison, who's also a student at Elkin Elementary School.
"I just like the process of learning all the lines. I don't know what's next for me. I want to be in movies, anything that requires for someone to memorize lines."
Morgan Harrison of Elkin, who played Bill Sikes, was asked how easy was it working with a cast of children.
"Working with kids is never easy. Let's just say they're inspiring," said Harrison, who's heading on Monday to Lousiville to work on another production. "Addison did a great job. All of the kids did fantastic."
"Kids make the show more exciting, too," said in Jennifer Kleinheksel of State Road, who played Nancy Sikes, a character fiercely protective of Oliver. Nancy Sikes commits one of the most noble acts of kindness in the story when she ultimately risks her life to help Oliver.
Kleinheksel was pleased with how the musical came together. Nancy Sikes was flawless and didn't show any signs of being nervous on stage. Kleinheksel said the reality is that she's nervous all the way up until the moment of acting.
"I get nervous all the time. I think it can take up to the week of to feel you are ready to perform," said Kleinheksel.
The cast and crew included Leighanne Martin Wright of Elkin, director; Kim Arnold of Elkin, choreographer; Freddy Casstevens of Boonville, music director; Addison Blackwelder of State Road as Oliver; Tyler Zickmund of Mocksville as the Artful Dodger; David Nielsen of Elkin as Fagin; Jennifer Kleinheksel of State Road as Nancy Sykes; Morgan Harrison of Elkin as Bill Sykes; Will Parks of Hamptonville as Mr. Bumble; Christine Werner Booher of Elkin as Widow Corney; Scott Carpenter of Mount Airy as Mr. Sowerberry and Mr. Brownlow; Kitsey E. Burns of East Bend as Mrs. Sowerberry; Michael Jones of Elkin as Noah Claypole; Bailey Atkins of Mount Airy as Charlotte; Isabella Wyatt of Sparta as Bet; Judy Deck of Jonesville as Mrs. Bedwin; Neil Green of State Road as Dr. Grimwig; with an ensemble cast of Emma Aldridge, Katie Carter, Henry Freeman, Margaret Freeman, Nicole Freeman, Claire Grider, Grace Harrison, Lucas Keller, Eli Powell, Whitney Sprinkle, Anna Taylor, Cassidy Transou, Christie Harrison, Mary Keller, Amy Rector, Aspen Jackson, all of Elkin; Ella Kleinheksel, Aaron Blackwelder, both of State Road; Gabriel Hammesfahr, Sandra Hammesfahr, both of Boonville; and Vicky Zickmund of Mocksville.
The orchestra included musical director Freddy Casstevens on piano; Julie Shaw, flute; Nick Gordan, drums; Jonathan Owens, violin; and Josh Casstevens, bass.
The musical was choreographed by Kim Arnold.
The classic Charles Dickens tale of Oliver Twist was adapted into this musical by Lionel Bart. Songs performed were "Consider Yourself," "Food, Glorious Food," "Pick a Pocket or Two" and "Where Is Love?" and others.

Raccoon-mauled girl recovering after first surgery
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WXYZ) - A nurse at Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital says that Charlotte Ponce is out of surgery and headed to the children's ICU for recovery after her first of three major reconstructive facial surgeries in nine months.
Charlotte's doctor, Dr. Kongkrit Chaiyasate, says it took a little over eight hours to create a nasal lining for Charlotte's nose and the surgery was a success.
When she was three-months-old, Ponce was attacked by the family's pet raccoon. "The pet raccoon somehow got into the house. And they assume the raccoon was probably after her bottle," said Sharon Ponce, who is her adoptive mother.
The raccoon tore off Charlotte's ear, upper lip, and nose. Her biological parents lost custody of her and her 11-year-old brother, Marshall.
Since the attack, Charlotte has undergone several surgeries. Wednesday surgery was expected to be the longest and perhaps riskiest. During the next nine months, doctors expect to perform at least two more surgeries to rebuild Charlotte's ear and lip.

Ferrer is by no mean easy, but considering that Gilles has to draft a top 8 in R3 no matter what, and top 1 to 5 are all tough draw. Roddick in US tournament is also a tough draw. I mean, no top 8 is easy anyway, and Ferrer just went to SF of Aussie 2 mths ago. I will probably prefer Berdych, who's a little injured it seems and Gilles has a positive H-to-H against. But then, things don't always go our way.
Haase is very dangerous, but there's a lot of dangerous floaters around that are much worse than Haase (Del Potro, for example).
I don't think this draw is easy, I just think it could be much worse, so this is relatively not bad. But it's never easy in ATP1000 tournament, when he's seeded to meet a top 8 in R3. He needs to get back to top 16

Aaron Shelby
Fenway High School
Aaron earned his BA in African and American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin in 2006. In one of his letters of recommendation, a professor wrote, "Humility, passion, determination and a willingness to be a service leader are critical to the make up of our educators." He felt that Aaron demonstrated these qualities to the highest degree. Aaron has written about his epiphany upon reading Anne Moody's
Coming of Age in Mississippi during his freshman year at Austin. He felt that it revealed a "breadth of knowledge that had been untapped in my life… as well as in the lives of other students." From that experience, he decided to dedicate himself to becoming a history teacher so that he could help future students learn an American history that allowed them to see themselves in the study of this nation. Aaron has been a UTTC Intern at Fenway High School in Boston for the 2007-2008 academic year where the faculty appreciated his tenacity in reaching out to students who seemed on the verge of giving up on school.
Paul J. Grffith
Somerville High School
Paul earned a BA in African American Studies from UCLA in 2006. He applied to Tufts Graduate School through the Institute for Recruiting Teachers (IRT) program. IRT recruits promising undergraduates of color from across the United States to consider careers in education and hosts them for a pre-graduate school program at Phillips Andover Academy in Andover each summer. Paul's personal statement in his application to Tufts MAT program begins with this sentence: "On April 12, 2005, my 12 year old cousin was murdered. He was a scholarly student who loved to read." This tragedy, as well as the encouragement and advocacy of his mother, convinced him that education was the most important component of a life with choices and freedom. He believes that he can make a contribution to urban youth by combining his own excellent education with his experience of living among people struggling to improve the lives of their children. In this way he sees his past experiences inspiring him to his future as a teacher. P.J. is also an accomplished dancer who has established an after school dance troupe as part of his UTTC Internship at Somerville High during the 2006-2007 academic year.
Cara Sandberg
Somerville High School
Cara graduated from Brown University in 2005 with a double major in Education Studies and Public Policy. In 2003, she had a "transforming experience" volunteering at Banana Kelly High School in South Bronx. She saw first-hand the link between the structure of education in the United States and the quality of civic life that she had been learning in her studies. Cara wrote, "[I was] dismayed to learn that the district
in which our school was located had among the lowest voter participation in the nation. In response, I set to work with 12th grade students to create and implement a voter registration project in their school." This experience provided her new insight into the power a social studies teacher can have to enhance skills of citizenship and community activism. Since September, she has been a UTTC intern at Somerville High School working with a teacher who graduated from the Tufts UTTC Program in 1999.
Joseph Truss
Boston Arts Academy
(seen here with Nancy Kassabian of Malden Public Schools, center, and Linda Beardsley, Director of Teacher Education,
Joe graduated in May '05 from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Spanish. He is an activist in a range of community groups, and he has taught both math and Spanish to middle school aged students. He learned "how important it is to parents that teachers take a genuine interest in their children and lead them to success." Joe is described by a Berkeley professor as a "young man who grew up and went to school in a poor inner-city Latino-Immigrant/Afro-American neighborhood and rose above
the conditions around him with dignity and strength." Joe was accepted to three other top universities for graduate study and he was determined to attend a graduate school with a racially diverse student body and a commitment to preparing "reform minded teachers." He chose Tufts after visiting the campus and Boston Arts Academy in April 2005. In an email he explained, "I have decided to come to Tufts! What I saw, while visiting, far surpassed, every other program, big reputation or not."

Stella received her undergraduate degree in History from Tufts. In her personal statement, she wrote: "I seriously began to consider a teaching career in my sophomore year at Tufts [when] as a member of the United Leaders Civics Program, I taught a Civics course to 7th and 8th grade students at Powder House School in Somerville." She also taught a course in Tufts' Experimental College. Stella explains that
her commitment to teaching arises from her heritage as a first generation Nigerian-American whose parents instilled in her the importance of a strong education. "I aspire to share my passion for education with others." As a high school student in Washington, D.C. she learned that she had a "promise to fulfill," an intellect to share with others to inspire young people. Her relatives in Nigeria are teachers and she has spent summers visiting them and learning about the school system there.

Millennial Students
Impact on the Library
December 1, 2004
For Immediate Release
STILLWATER -Most undergraduates are members of a new generation, the Millennial Generation. These students, born after 1982, are characterized as being highly technically savvy, team oriented, sheltered, and tightly connected to their social network. The Millennials learn differently and interact differently than previous generations of students. In order to effectively meet the research and study needs of our students, the Library is in the process of redesigning our facilities and services. This process is taking place at academic libraries across the country.
The plan has been referred to as creating a Student Success Center or an Information Commons. The goal is to bring together most of the essential library services for students on the first floor to eventually include individual and group computer workstations, improved shelving for the current journals, group study and collaboration rooms, and library reference services and print reference collection. Concentrating these services on the first floor will make it possible to keep this floor open 24 hours a day, five days a week. It is not intended to create a space for students to merely socialize. It is intended to create a place that encourages today's student to come into the Library and utilize both our collection resources and our reference librarians. These steps will enable us to create more quiet study areas on the remaining floors.
Oklahoma State University is a modern land-grant system that cuts across disciplines to better prepare students for a new world. Oklahoma's only university with a statewide presence, OSU improves the lives of people in Oklahoma, the nation, and the world through integrated, high-quality teaching, research and outreach. OSU has more than 32,000 students across its five-campus system and nearly 21,000 on its Stillwater campus; with students from all 50 states and about 110 nations. Established in 1890, OSU has graduated more than 200,000 students who have made a lasting impact on Oklahoma and the world. CREATE - INNOVATE - EDUCATE - GO STATE!

Kendall Team Finishes Sixth at National Math Competition
Testing their math skills against their peers from throughout the nation, five Kendall students participated in the annual national MathCounts math competition for students with hearing loss and finished in sixth place overall. They were the first team to ever represent Kendall in the competition, which took place April 4 in Rochester, New York.
Despite competing against teams and students who have been annual participants for several years, the five Kendall students did an outstanding job. Each one finished in the top half of the individual standings. Representing Kendall were Diego Trejo, Edward Berke, Jade DeLaO, Amberlin Hines, and Ashley Payne. Team coaches were Kendall math teachers Sandy Paradis and Dwight Alston.
The competition consists of a 40-minute sprint round, a 30-minute target round, and a 20-minute team round. In the sprint round, individuals solve 30 problems. Teams divide into four pairs to solve eight problems posed in the target round. The team round consists of ten problems that teams work together to solve. The problems are the exact same questions posed to hearing students in the MathCounts competition. They require pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 skills, all of which Kendall students are currently learning.
"My favorite part of the competition was the sprint round," said Amberlin Hines, who finished 19th in the nation at the contest. "I enjoyed the competitiveness and speed with which we had to answer the questions in that round."
Jade DeLaO enjoyed the competition because math is her favorite class. Jade explained, "Math is my favorite subject and I enjoyed testing my skills against my peers from around the country. I know we did very well as a team, and we were well prepared for the competition."
Participating in the contest benefitted the Kendall participants in other ways as well. This was Ashley's first time flying on a plane since a trip when she was two years old, which she doesn't remember. "I was nervous about flying," says Ashley. "But my teammates helped me relax and made it fun, like it was a roller coaster. We all raised our hands in the air at take-off and were laughing. I loved flying, and can't wait for my next flight." Edward got to see his older brother who is currently attending college in Rochester.
In addition, all five participants said they made a lot of new friends among their fellow competitors. Diego said, "It was a great learning experience and tremendous fun. I am already looking forward to participating in next year's competition, and I am excited about learning new things in math class!"

Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf Then and Now — Check Out How Much She's Changed! (PHOTO)
In Season 1, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and crew were just juniors in high school. So, it's no shame that she rocked the lace and headbands and let her hair have the run of things. But we can't imagine that B ever pulled off eyelet overlay and a top-of-the-box bow headband simultaneously — and with pearls to boot!
These days, Blair is still taming her tresses with headbands galore, but they're more haute couture than Holly Hobbie. Just think, back then she was fooling around with Chuck (Ed Westwick) in the back of limos and plotting the downfall of others. And now... well, she's doing the same things while wearing better clothes.
Biggest changes? Toning down her contrasting skin-face-makeup-washed out dress combos.
Verdict: HUGE improvement.

'SNL' and Anna Kendrick Pay Tribute to 'Beauty and the Beast' With the Opening Monologue
There was no way 'SNL' was going to get 'Pitch Perfect' star Anna Kendrick to host without giving her a big musical number, and the show got it over and done with early on. In her opening monologue, Kendrick talked about her musical theater roots and how good it felt to be on a New York Stage of any kind before breaking into a fantastic parody of "Bonjour" from Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast.'
'The Expendables 3′ Trailer: Stallone and the Gang Are Back For More
Call us suckers, but going by the new trailer for 'The Expendables 3,' we think this may be the one that finally gets it right. Both 'The Expendables' and 'The Expendables 2' were well-meaning but sloppy nostalgia exercises, but we're hoping that the third time is the charm and that this one will be a well-meaning and actually entertaining nostalgia exercise.
Winter Is Here: 'Game of Thrones' LEGOs Bring on the 'Song of Ice and Fire'
LEGO isn't in the habit of making sets based on extremely violent and highly sexualized HBO fantasy series, but thankfully, someone is out there filling that niche. Custom LEGO creation company Citizen Brick revealed their latest creation and it's a doozy: 13 minifigs based on characters from 'Game of Thrones.'
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Noah' and Russell Crowe Flood 'Sabotage' and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Insert your own "when it rains, it pours" joke right here. Darren Aronofsky's instantly controversial biblical epic 'Noah' overcame mixed buzz to win the box office this weekend, catering to both religious audiences and film buffs who like weird movies from unique, picky directors. But all was not well for everyone -- the latest film from a certain Hollywood action legend got washed away in 'Noah''s success.
Batman's 75th Anniversary: What Warner Bros. and DC Comics Have in the Works
Few characters have the pop culture clout of Batman, who has spent the better part of a century dominating comic books, the better part of a generation dominating movies, and the better part of a decade dominating video games. To geeks and businessmen alike, he's kind of a big, huge, massive deal. Now, Warner Bros. and DC Comics plan to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their biggest cash cow with a year-long celebration, announcing all kinds of special events and releases to commemorate the creation of Bruce Wayne and his alter ego.
'Into the Storm' Trailer: 'Twister' For the Post-'2012′ Crowd
When it comes to dangerous weather, there's nothing more cinematic than a tornado. 'Twister' knew this back in 1996, and if its new trailer is any indication, 'Into the Storm' knows this now in 2014. But there's one big question lingering on our minds: what can 'Into the Storm' do with highly destructive, low-pressure funnel clouds that 'Twister' didn't already accomplish?

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Divergent' Leaves 'Muppets Most Wanted' in the Dust
If the main goal of 'Divergent' was to snag a large portion of the audience for 'The Hunger Games,' it looks like it succeeded. Although it didn't reach the absurd heights of Katniss' two movies, Shailene Woodley's dystopian adventure effortlessly nabbed the number one spot and, unless something bad happens next week, announced the arrival of a new big franchise.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Need For Speed' Sputters at the Box Office
If the goal for 'Need For Speed' was to replicate the success of the 'Fast and Furious' films, then the film's opening weekend is not promising. Opening in third place, the video game adaptation was overtaken by two of last week's releases, making this potential franchise D.O.A.
Peter 'Pan' Casting Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily
On paper, 'Pan' sounds like the kind of movie you'd have to drag us to kicking and screaming, but since the production keeps on adding talented people like Rooney Mara to the cast, it's getting more and more difficult to ignore.

Kane proves clutch
HUNTINGTON -- The many faces of Dre Kane were all over the Cam Henderson Center on Saturday night.
A relaxed look after an acrobatic dunk in warm-ups. A perplexed look after an air ball to open the game. A less than satisfied look after chomping on a few kernels of green popcorn in the press room afterward.
"That's stale," he said.
But when it mattered most, the star Marshall University sophomore guard gave the look of determination.
He stepped to the free throw line with his Thundering Herd trailing rival UCF, 64-63, with 14.5 seconds left.
"(Damier) Pitts told me to knock them down," Kane said.
Three dribbles with the right hand, pause, and up with his stroke. Kane's first foul shot hit front rim and rolled forward through the hoop.
Tied game.
Next attempt, same routine. Swish.
Marshall up one.
"No pressure," he said. "It was good all along."
One defensive stand later, the Herd held on for a 65-64 win before a wild, glowstick-waving, Donnie Jones-mocking, A.J. Rompza-booing crowd of 8,379 fans.
Cue another Kane face.
This time, the 6-foot-4, 200-pounder, who came to Huntington by way of Jones before the Point Pleasant native took his coaching to Orlando, went with the celebration look.
A mini-lap around the floor. A smile and two thumbs up thrown toward a group of fans behind a basket.
On an evening when sideshows were being performed regularly, Kane wanted the main spotlight.
"I think we're all built for this stage," he said after pouring in a game-high 16 points mixed with seven rebounds and three assists. "We're 21, 20, 22 (years-old). We're grown men.
"It's just playing basketball."
But there were moments when MU coach Tom Herrion thought about taking away some of that playing time.
At the 19:30 mark of the second half, Kane picked up his third foul.
It was bench time, right?
"Obviously, we didn't plan that, but it happened pretty quick," Herrion said. "I rolled the dice with DeAndre. I left him."
Left him alone.
In a game where the whistle was blowing about almost as many times as UCF players were tweeting about their hotel accommodations Friday night, Herrion stuck with Kane on the hardwood despite the dangerous foul situation.
"He had a little bit of a better matchup with (Isaiah) Sykes because he's not a guy that puts a lot of pressure on you one-on-one," Herrion said. "That probably was the biggest reason why I left him in at that point."
Kane just went with it.
"That's part of the game," he said. "Coach left me in. He trusted me and I trusted him. I tried not to get that fourth one early."
With three fouls, Kane scored eight points.
With four, he scored an ever-so-valuable two.
Marshall's last offensive play put Kane in a position to make a winning move.
"We ran into a pick-and-pop action with Dago (Pena) to try to get a little confusion, maybe a switch," Herrion said. "We drove it off that. It was a good call, obviously.
"And obviously, the kid (Kane) steps up and makes pressure free throws."

They don't have toothpicks at the hospital?
Hey Rex!
My husband has these fancy plastic toothpicks that he uses with dental floss attached. He is so fussy when it comes to his teeth. Obviously the hospital has given him toothpaste, and a toothbrush, or he would have asked for that to.
The man is unusual in so many ways.
I just got off with his brother Danny, who is a real sweetheart.

---------- Post added 10-01-2012 at 06:01 AM ----------
Good morning to Jim, Rex, and Pengy and anyone else here that might remember me.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Morning Barry!!! Good to see you around here again!
And it is morning.... slept like... doodles last night. Woke up at one point hot, tossed off the covers... then kept thinking about the kids and them moving and everything and worrying about them coz thats what moms do... then had heart burn... tossed and turned... finally dozed back out until the alarm went off. Yes indeed I think a nap this afternoon will be on the agenda.
And I actually went over my text message allotment by 205 messages!! No one text me for another 6 days!!!! Do I really want to pay $10 a month more for unlimited texting? I think this was just a fluke month... with the kids moving and fixing up the mobile and all we were sending a lot of messages around. Maybe now it will slow down since she has internet in Idaho now...
Good morning Penguin. I hope that your frame of mind is a little better than mine this morning.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Well, I'm a bit on the fuzzy side this morning so I think I have no frame at all around whats left of my mind... maybe once I absorb a bit more diet wild cherry Pepsi, that might change... but not likely.
But on a different note.. hey! You're favorite team to hate and my favorite team actually won a game yesterday!! That actually puts them at 2-2 instead of 0-4!!! Whooo hoooo!

And the time as come, as the walrus said... to get my butt in gear and get ready to go to work! Catch you kiddles later!
I have been up since 5 a.m. I got up early to clean my house, because I was really hoping that they would send my husband home from the hospital. By 9:30 a.m., I was ready to head off to the bank, and then the hospital. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my husband was ready to leave. Kathy worked from home today, so she would be available if my husband needed a ride. We called her at 11 a.m., and by 11:30 my husband was home.
My husband was given two different medicine prescriptions. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Right now he is napping.
We are all so glad that he is home.
I thank all my RCMC, MiceChat friends for their good wishes. My husband was only in the hospital for two days, but it felt like two weeks, sometimes.

In her first northern Virginia public appearance, incoming Fairfax County Schools Superintendent Karen Garza addressed media questions Thursday at the FCPS Gatehouse Administration Center, coming across very much as a teacher's administrator.
Garza, 50, has been superintendent of Texas' Lubbock Independent School District since 2009, recently announcing her resignation to take the helm at FCPS.
Lubbock officials said in a press release that during her four-year tenure at the Texas school system, Garza led the independent school district through several major initiatives, including the district's first comprehensive facility assessment, which resulted in voters approving a $198 million bond, the largest in the district's history. Garza is also credited with bringing more than $25 million in private and foundation grants to the school system.
Garza said Thursday that "examining teacher workload issues" would be her first priority in Fairfax County, adding that investing in teachers was a strategy she looked forward to implementing.
"In Lubbock, we developed and executed a very strategic and intentional design for developing teacher leaders at the campus level and investing in their growth, and we did the same with principals, so I am very proud of that because today they have very strong teachers and principals throughout that system…I left that school system better than I found it."
In 2009, 2010 and 2011 the Lubbock Independent School District was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. The agency rating for the 2011-12 ISD school year has not yet been reported.
Garza also said that obtaining equitable pay for teachers is something she is experienced at, stating that even though the Lubbock Independent School District was one of the lowest state-funded school systems in Texas, she still managed to get teachers there more money.
"Although it was one of the lowest funded in the state, we raised teacher's salaries by nine percent--without cutting resources," she said. "I'm very proud of that."
As superintendent, Garza oversaw the school district's part in a lawsuit brought forth by the Texas Taxpayer and Student Fairness Coalition against the state which claimed that state funding for public schools in Texas was not fairly administered. "I am used to dealing with financial challenges," she told reporters in Fairfax.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March 5, 1984, Page 3
Israel and South Lebanon
In the political chaos that is Lebanon, one of the few things that is clearly emerging is the prospect of the permanent occupation by Israel of the south of the country.
Although in the view of many longtime observers this outcome has always been likely, some recent events have combined to make it appear more and more inevitable.
The key development is the expected abrogation by Lebanon of the May 17 Israel-Lebanon withdrawal agreement, which now has become virtually certain.
Implementation of the agreement was objected to strongly by Syria and Lebanese opposition forces on the grounds that it would reward Israel for its 1982 invasion and provide it with a permanent military toehold in the south. Its abrogation, however, is making Israel dig in its heels.
When reports first surfaced in mid-February that Lebanon's President Amin Gemayel had decided that abrogation would be necessary if he was to remain in office, Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir served notice that the Lebanese would in effect be "conceding their independence," and that Israel would "ensure the security of the north of Israel with or without the agreement."
The statement amounted to a warning that the Israeli army might remain in a large swath of the Lebanese south indefinitely, whether or not this would lead to a de facto partition of Lebanon.
Mr. Shamir's statement was followed up by warnings from Defense Minister Moshe Arens, who said that without a withdrawal agreement Israel would feel free to stay in Lebanon "as long as necessary" to protect Israel's security. This might have to be forever.
Some observers do not take such warnings seriously, since there is known to be intense political opposition within Israel to the idea of remaining in the Lebanese quagmire, where nearly 600 Israeli soldiers have died since their invasion. But this view does not take into account that for Israel's leaders, the alternative to staying in the quagmire looks even worse. The primary purpose of the invasion had been to make it impossible, once and for all, for Palestinians or anyone else to use south Lebanon as a platform for rocket attacks or guerrilla raids against Israel. If the Israeli soldiers leave, and the attacks resume, the entire operation against Lebanon would have been for nothing.
What is causing Israel to dig in—despite the opposition on the domestic front—is the growing conviction that a resumption of attacks is just what will happen if its soldiers leave. Israel has had little success in building up a force of local militia that could do the job for it. The present government of Lebanon is weak and cannot provide a force of its own for the south. With a new Lebanese government emerging that is perceived by Israel to be under strong Syrian influence, there is no way that it will trust it to handle border security on its own.
The dilemma for the Israelis will remain acute as long as the current price for staying in Lebanon is so high. On the average, one Israeli soldier is being killed or wounded every day. For this reason, the Israelis plan at some point to withdraw their troops south from the Awali River into new positions along either the Zahrani River or the Litani, 16 miles north of the border. Having a smaller buffer, they hope, could give them the best of both worlds an opportunity to have more effective control, while reducing the number of casualties.
New Enemies
Even in the smaller territory the job may not be as easy as they hope it to be, however. Since their arrival in south Lebanon the Israelis have managed to make a new set of enemies which they didn't have before the invasion, when their concern was mainly with the Palestinians. Now, most of their troubles come from the Lebanese Shiites, who are actively resisting occupation. Israeli troops have managed to make it easier for the Shiites to hate their occupiers, by lashing back in ways that punish the innocent as well as the guilty (using collective punishment) and that offend Shiite sensibilities (sending military search parties into mosques and arresting religious leaders).
Although the growing anger of the Shiites makes Israel's job harder, it also is making it more determined to keep a military presence on the ground until a buffer zone, however large it may turn out to be, is brought under control and casualties brought down to a politically "acceptable" level—rather than withdraw under pressure and leave the zone wide open.
Should the Israelis succeed in pacifying the zone, they would then regard it as imperative, as many observers see it, to stay there rather than turn it over to the control of either a pro-Syrian Lebanese regime or a local Shiite authority. This is because the Shiites are so stirred up that it is no longer out of the question that at least some of them would cooperate with the Palestinians—whom they have fought against in the past—in trying to make life more difficult for Israel across the border.
The record on the West Bank shows that there has never been a great deal of opposition by any bloc of parties to holding on to parts of the territory for "security reasons." There is therefore a good chance that if Israel can keep its casualties in south Lebanon reasonably low, the public will accept the idea of keeping part of south Lebanon, too, for this purpose. Their acceptance will grow easier as the years go by and they gradually get used to it.
Not to be forgotten is the fact that there is no shortage of people in Israel who believe that south Lebanon, at least up to the Litani River, is part of Greater Israel, and should be absorbed. The early Zionists always included this part of Lebanon on their maps as part of the Zionist state, and others believe possession of the waters of the Litani is essential to Israel for life-and-death economic reasons. One Israeli cabinet minister, Yuval Ne'eman, has even gone on record with his belief that south Lebanon is "geographically and historically an integral part of Israel."

Birds nests, otters' dams, badger sets, squirrels' dreys – houses made by animals are, of course, the norm. What is more rare, indeed almost unheard of, are houses made in the shape of animals. Yet, for this week's Most Loved, we showcase an example of this unusual branch of architecture with this Cat Shaped School, built in Germany by artist Tomi Ungerer, and Loved by Another's Commissioning Editor Laura Bradley.
Situated in the German village of Wolfartsweier, the feline kindergarten hosts around a hundred children who enter through the mouth, take classes in the head – with light pouring in through the eyes – and who can make their way to the playground at the back via the tail or rather a silver slide. It is a rare example of when so-called novelty architecture has been created with the purpose not only of delighting the eye, but also with a specific practical purpose. Generally speaking, when buildings are sculpted into unexpected shapes, say elephants or doughnuts, it is to entice customers into roadside food joints on the American highway, and as they cannot be entered, they would probably be better defined as sculptures. However, Ungerer's structure, created with the help of d'Ayla-Suzan Yöndel, may see a new trend emerging, with the sphinx like structure a huge success both with the pupils of Wolfartsweier, and on the AnOther Loves stream.
"The feline kindergarten hosts around a hundred children who enter through the mouth, take classes in the head – with light pouring in through the eyes – and who can make their way to the playground via the tail, or rather a silver slide."
Here we speak to cat fan Bradley about why she chose to love the school, and what other animals she would like to see immortalized in architecture.
Why did you choose to love the school?
It's brilliant! I love cats. I'm aware of a cat-shaped swimming pool, but I didn't imagine there'd be a cat inspired school.
What would you wear for lessons here?
As headteacher, I would specify a Givenchy hat with cat ears, and a navy and white uniform.
Do you feel learning would be helped by a feline building? If so, how?
In the news earlier this month, there was a lot of discussion about how exposure to cute images of cats can aid concentration, following a scientific study done in 2009. I imagine the kids lucky enough to attend a cat-shaped school are excellent students!
What is your favourite building?
The ultimate school – the Bauhaus building at Dessau, Germany, designed by Walter Gropius.
Which other animals that would work as buildings?
The Bambi building, a truly magical place.
If you could be an animal, what would it be?
A cat or a fawn.
What are you looking forward to about the coming season?
Moving into my beautiful new house and decorating our Christmas tree. And being reunited with my best friend for the holiday season.
What was the last thing you bought?
Two pumpkins for my first ever carving session.

RICHMOND, Va. (May 2, 2009) – Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 DEWALT Race Team dodged several close calls in a caution-filled wreck fest to finish 13th in Saturday night's Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Kenseth started fast, rolling off 35th and moving all the way to 14th in the first 100 laps, but his DEWALT Fusion was never able to get over the hump, dropping as far back at 23rd before rebounding for the top-15 finish.
"That was a tough race out there tonight," said Kenseth after the race. "The guys on the DEWALT Team really did a good job in the pits and actually put us in good positions on the track. The car just wasn't good enough tonight to capitalize. We have to keep working with these cars and getting better if we are going to be able to compete in these races."
At the 3/4 –mile track hailed for its racing excitement, 79 of the event's 400 laps were run under 15 caution periods. Kenseth narrowly escaped all out catastrophe on more than one occasion as cars continued to spin out all over the track during the course of the race. He made contact with the wall at one point and battled braking issues for much of the night. At one point Kensth even fell down a lap to the leader, before gaining the lap back via the free pass on lap 271.
Still, after dropping as far back as 23rd, Kenseth and his DEWALT team hung tough, battling all the way back to as high as 11th with 33 laps to go and bringing home the 13th-place finish.
After starting the race 35th, the team wasted little time advancing through the field. Kenseth broke inside the top 30 by lap 15 and had moved all the way to 25th on lap 42. The No. 17 DEWALT Team turned in a lightning quick stop under green on lap 91. Kenseth went into the pits in 24th position and found himself running 13th once the field had cycled through its stops.
However, Kenseth was unable to advance further, dropping as far back as 23rd after brushing with the wall after contact with the No. 12 car on lap 180. Kenseth later reported major brake issues on lap 224. The team continued to adjust the car under caution, patiently biding their time and slowly working their way back in the direction of the front of the field.
With the finish Kenseth remains 12th in the Sprint Cup point standings, 254 behind first and 31 ahead of 13.
The team returns to action next week at Darlington Raceway for Saturday night's running at the historic track. Kenseth has six top-10 finishes in 15 starts at the 'Track Too Tough To Tame', where he has led 96 laps and finished seventh or better in his last three outings.

Read Poems by
Melanie Dickie
Aubie the dachshund is sitting at the door whining.
I wonder what he wants..I get up and walk angrily towards the door
He continues his annoying whining and simply turns around
I walk back to my seat and he just sits,and stares
Letting out a slight whimper here and there.
He doesn't want out I offered that
Could he want a treat?
Yes.I walk to the closet to where the treat are kept and
Hand him one.
This sparks excitement in milo..who then wants one also.
Aubie,such a enthusiastic and nosy animal
But most puppies are I suppose.
Always into something..
But also a friendly and loving creature
Never meeting a stranger
Dogs r such simple animals
Wanting nothing more than love and affection
Dogs are very similar to us humans
All we want and need is food,love.and affection

Available this summer for the 2013-2014 school year, the new offering includes Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) courses that support the instructional shifts required by the adoption of Common Core State Standards, which emphasize an increased focus on problem-solving and analysis. The Career Explorations course, also part of the new suite, helps students consider potential careers so they can -- with intent -- choose the most appropriate academic path to reach their goal.
"Middle school is a pivotal period for most students, and a time when it can be difficult for students to catch up if they fall behind," said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity.

Along with our new Career Explorations course, which enables students to investigate their career interests early on, this new suite of courses helps ensure students are preparing to meet the challenge of career and college readiness."
The Math and ELA courses, designed for students in grades 6-8, promote subject mastery with new assignment types and tools for students.

Inside out
Poor Migo. They way he tells it, his rickety old house has been broken into so many times by his neighbors that he finally said to hell with it, and took just about everything that was inside the house and placed it outside. "I put stuff out and said, 'Take it.' I don't care no more." Might as well save everyone the trouble of breaking in, he figured.
But rather than just throw everything in heaps, he draped and wove his belongings almost artfully along his fence, in the trees, and on the walkway to his door. His project forms a canopy over the front yard, an artistic display of despair.

The Sound of Sleigh Bells
by Cindy Woodsmall
No current Talk conversations about this book.
To be honest, I was a bit hesitant when picking up this book. I've read one of the author's books in the past, and had a bit of trouble reading the subject matter in the book. It was enough for me not to be able to read the other two books in the series. Therefore I was worried that this book would be like that. Luckily, as far as I could tell, there's no connection and the storyline was one that rather enjoyable. I liked reading about Beth, Lizzy and Jonah. All three of them had very interesting story lines and I liked seeing the connections between the three. I thought it was interesting how the Amish portrayed in this story were allowed to be a bit more modern and freely use phones and other electronics. This is mainly due to the business but it's always fascinating to read.
The problem with novellas is that because they are short, sometimes the story feels a bit rushed. The author has the hard task of making the entire story come across plus give the characters enough time to grow and develop in a shorter amount of words. In this case, it works well for the most part. I personally would have enjoyed seeing the confusion of identity between Beth and Jonah last longer. It would have been more interesting for them to think they were writing to who they were picturing instead of the actual person. As it was, the illusion ended too quickly. I'm still not ok with the way that the Amish seem to handle heavy subjects. Beth's fiance sounds like he had serious controlling and abusive issues but she never tells anyone this because it would look bad on them. This type of behavior makes me very wary of the community portrayed in Woodsmall's books. This book seems to be marketed as a Christmas story but I'm not really seeing it. Aside from a few references to the holiday in the book, it's almost not even an issue. I would classify it as more a winter time story. Overall, it's a nice short read perfect for a fall or winter afternoon. If you are a fan of Amish fiction you will enjoy this story.
What a very sweet story. I loved how it looked inside the characters. I appreciated how the faith of the characters informed their actions (and I say this as a non-religious person).
NCLA Review - Remorse and loneliness still echo in Beth Hertzler's heart every day and she still wears dark clothing to indicate her mourning of her fiancé. She works alongside her Aunt Lizzy in their dry goods store and serves as a contact between Amish craftsmen and Englischer retailers. In her hunt for new merchandise to sell, she discovers an intricately carved scene of Amish children playing in the snow. Something inside Beth's soul responds and she wants to help the unknown artist find homes for his work. Her Aunt Lizzy meets Jonah, the artist, and is determined that Beth come to know this man whose hands create healing art. Does this gifted carver hold the answer to both her past and future in his hands? The author weaves a wonderful story of tragedy, secrets and a healing grace. Rating: 4—SGV
This is a delightful book from start to finish. It is a gentle read that will make you smile while bringing a tear to your eye.
As with most of the Amish fiction I have read, the story starts out with a death. Beth Hertzler's fiancé has died & Beth is in deep mourning. She works for her Aunt Lizzie in her aunt's dry goods store. Beth often travels to find handmade items by Amish craftsmen to sell in the store. On one of her travels, Beth finds a beautifully carved scene of Amish children. While it is too fancy for the Amish, she knows that the tourists will love it. Beth sets out to meet the 'old man' that has made the carving. She is unable to find him on this visit but, due to some intervention by her aunt, she and Jonah begin a correspondence.
Lizzie finally meets the man she has been writing to and discovers that he is actually a young man. While walking through his barn she discovers a sleigh, which brings back some lovely memories. The sleigh is mentioned only in passing but it is an intricate part of the story.
This is a great stand alone book. I highly recommend it.
I really loved reading this book. Maybe it's because it's about the Amish (I really love the Amish!), maybe it's the season of winter (winter=holidays=something else I love!), or maybe it's the simple fact of Cindy Woodsmall's beautiful talent of writing a story that I didn't want to end, that I loved this book so much!
It's a story of hurt, guilt, faith, love and friendship between two Amish members. The plot of this story is simply life like and warm.
I'm not going to make my review of this book too long as if I do I will be too tempted to tell the end of this magnificent story! And I don't want to do that as I don't want to spoil this for my followers! But I WILL give this book praises over and over, and I'll give the author a 5 star rating for a talent that is truly God-guided and inspiring. The Sound of Sleigh Bells is a book to curl up with at the fire place on a cold winter evening, with a cup of coffee, hot cider, or hot cocoa, and you'll be warmed from the start! It's a blessing you won't want to miss!!!!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307446530, Hardcover)Beth Hertzler works alongside her beloved Aunt Lizzy in their dry goods store, and serving as contact of sorts between Amish craftsmen and Englischers who want to sell the Plain people's wares. But remorse and loneliness still echo in her heart everyday as she still wears the dark garb, indicating mourning of her fiancé. When she discovers a large, intricately carved scene of Amish children playing in the snow, something deep inside Beth's soul responds and she wants to help the unknown artist find homes for his work–including Lizzy's dry goods store. But she doesn't know if her bishop will approve of the gorgeous carving or deem it idolatry.
Lizzy sees the changes in her niece when Beth shows her the woodworking, and after Lizzy hunts down Jonah, the artist, she is all the more determined that Beth meets this man with the hands that create healing art. But it's not that simple–will Lizzy's elaborate plan to reintroduce her niece to love work? Will Jonah be able to offer Beth the sleigh ride she's always dreamed of and a second chance at real love–or just more heartbreak?

Were the 25 voices of The Silver Lake Chorus to belt out "From the Snow Tipped Hills" on a mountainside, I'd run for fear of an avalanche. The original, written for the group by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, is built around an ethereal vocal arrangement, bare in instrumentation and full of power. The Silver Lake Chorus' forthcoming album features similar choral arrangements of songs written by indie-rock acts, among them Sia, Aimee Mann, The Bird and the Bee, Tegan and Sara and The New Pornographers.
Naturally, the vocal-only cut lends itself to remix treatment, and now the L.A.-based remixers in Gold and Soil (Asura and Ana Caravelle) have taken on the task. The Caravelles have given the song a freewheeling rhythm section and whirling embellishments, cutting the original's vocals into pitchy ribbons throughout. The added percussion feels textured, at one point shifting abruptly into a different tempo that momentarily breaks the spell cast by the looped male voice, only to return to its groove gracefully. Along the way, Gold and Soil's remix preserves The Silver Lake Chorus' crystalline moodiness, while adding a little head-nod along the way.

How does Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 and above support the machine check exceptions (MCE) in the revision F AMD Opteron Chip?
by Linda Wang
Red Hat Enterprise Release 4 Update 4 supports AMD Opteron Rev F MCE threadhold counters.
The Revision F of AMD Opteron processor adds support for MCE Threshold counters for DRAM. These counters allow a user with root access to specify a threshold of correctable ECCs that can be taken from the DRAM controller before an MCE is issued. This feature lets administrators of large server systems ignore infrequent ECC errors caused by cosmic radiation but be alerted via the MCE mechanism when a DRAM chip is failing.
Three major sections of note are:
- Sysfs Interfaces
With Update 4, the sysfs interface will be created under:
where, [i] refers to the CPU number the threshold registers is located and [j] refers to the MCA bank number the threshold register is under.
There may be up to five banks per CPU, however, currently only the fifth bank, MC4_MISC contains a valid threshold counter for DRAM ECC errors.
The following files will be created per valid threshold register:
error_count (R/W) - read: output the current error count in hex - write: reset the count interrupt_enable (R/W) - read: output 1 if interrupt enabled, else 0 - write: writing 0 will disable, non-0 will enable interrupts threshold_limit (R/W) - read: output the current threshold limit in hex - write: set a new threshold limit
The interrupt_enable may be changed without affecting the error_count. The threshold_limit may be changed without affecting the error_count if the new limit is not below the current error count. The threshold_limit must be: 0x0 < limit < 0xFFF.
When the error_count reaches the threshold_limit, the error_count will be fixed at the threshold_limit and will not increment any longer.
The user must reset the error_count in order for the counting to resume.
- Threshold Interrupt
When the error_count reaches the threshold_limit and if interrupt_enable is set, the processor will generate an interrupt with THRESHOLD_APIC_VECTOR. The driver will service the interrupt by simply logging the mcelog with a software defined bank number.
- Mcelog
The mcelog resides in /dev/mcelog and can be read by the user, or a user-land program 'mcelog' which decodes various machine check exception dumps.
Example#1: decodes a fatal machine check exception message in ascii to stdout
bash# mcelog --k8 --ascii
Example#2: redirects output to system log
bash# mcelog --syslog --k8 /dev/mcelog
Refer to mcelog manpage for more detailed usage.
How do I find out if a given piece of PCI hardware is supposed to be taken care of by the current kernel?
by Pierre Amadio
Each pci device is flagged with a Constructor and a Model identifier that make them unique. A list of such id is available on sourceforge. A kernel module can detect the hardware it should handle using those identifier. A list of such id mapped to the module name is available in the modules.pcmimap file that comes with a given kernel (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap).
Detecting the Constructor and Model vendor can be done with the lspci command. 'lspci' on its own will list the hardware available in human readable form. 'lspci -n' will gives the same list with the actual constructor and model id. Detect the piece of hardware that needs to be checked out with lspci, then find the line with the same pci id (the leftern collumn) in the output of 'lspci -n'. If there is a line related to this piece of hardware in modules.pcimap, chances are that this piece of hardware will be taken care of by the kernel.
Example Scenario: Will an Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Card be taken care of by a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system running a 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL kernel?
lspci gives:
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
lspci -n gives this result for the '02:01.0' device:
02:01.0 Class 0200: 8086:1079 (rev 03)
The constructor code is 8086 (Intel Corporation). The model is 1079 .
The /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.0.1.EL/modules.pcimap countain the following line that match those numbers:
e1000 0x00008086 0x00001079 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0
This card should work with the e1000 module on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with the 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL kernel.
Why does one get the warning "Cannot Preserve Ownership Error when Files are Moved to an NFS Mount Point" while trying to move a file to an NFS mount point?
by Archana Raghavan
This happens because commands like cp and mv try to copy ACL information. The warning is reported even though there may not be any ACL information to be transferred. This is because these programs cannot differentiate between a filesystem that doesn't support ACL, and one that does, but has ACL disabled. This warning is harmless and the file should be copied successfully.
Why am I getting SCSI errors when using device mapper multipathing with my MSA series and StorageWorks SAN?
by Josef Whiter
The MSA series and StorageWorks Storage Area Networks(SANs) are mostly active/passive SANs, which means that one path is always active, and the other path does not do anything until the active side fails. It is not possible to safely use device mapper multipathing on these SANs as it requires a special driver not provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The vendor has a special firmware that will change the SAN to active/active which will allow it to work with device mapper multipathing. Please contact the vendor if you wish to use device mapper multipathing with this SAN.

But I think its only going to get better. With word that it may have bluetooth it in, for me this is big because I can play it in my car, and I have a samsung blackjack which has internet sharing via bluetooth.
But anyways I have a quick question;
When I use the internet many times it says that I am using an Iphone, I am look, oo thats cool. This isnt always the best thing though, some sites I visit were made for a mobile phone, in this case iphone, and arn't like they would be on a regular safari web browser. Sometimes it does, and other times it doesnt.
One site that does this for me alot is facebook.com. I will go to facebook.com, it will be the same and etc, I log on and its the same, but after 5 mins it seems to think its a iphone and goes to www.iphone.facebook.com or something along those lines.
Is there a way to stop this?
Also does anyone know if apple will allow 3rd party apps on the itouch and will not "nuke" them like I am hearing about cracked iphones and the dangers application files on iphone?

This is the second pair of Sidi mountain bike shoes I have owned (the first pair lasted 8 years!). There is no use trying anything else. They are great. The only thing I did with these is order a wide shoe as my others felt a little tight. Others have mentioned the same thing.

An initiative to showcase an eco-friendly and viable alternative building material
Save for the cement floor and CGI roof, the rest of the lone cottage built above the highway to Tendu in Samtse, its walls, ceiling and the door, is built with bamboo.
Unlike bamboo cottage resorts of Kerala, Goa, Vietnam and Indonesia, the lone three-room bamboo cottage has a rustic look and feel.
The cottage, along with a small lawn, has been hedged with bamboo trunks tied together.
Villagers from Kuengaling and Rangkangling, Tendu gewog, had built and completed the cottage about a month ago, using bamboo materials available in a community forest of Pakpay. The two villages are about 58km from Samtse.
The pillars that support the beams of the lone cottage are made of large bamboo trunks, including other frames that give the model its shape.
It has halved bamboo trunks glued together, horizontally, vertically and diagonally to form the walls.
Dzongkhag forest officer Sonam Wangchuk said it was an initiative of Pakpay CFM members, supported by social forest and extension division.
The main intention of building a house was to prove to villagers that houses could be built using bamboos and not necessarily timber that villagers prefer using.
He said bamboos were just the material for the south, where the weather was excruciatingly hot in summers and warm in winters.
"Besides, bamboos grow in abundance here," he said. "The villagers will later diversify bamboo products for income generation."
According to the officials, Pakpay village is rich in bamboo plantation.
He said the bamboos were well treated, using local chemicals to avoid any damage to the material by pests, insects, or rain.
Community chairman DB Rai said they were going to use the cottage as a guesthouse, as a meeting venue and for visitors to the villages in Samtse at rent.
"We still need to furnish the house and we hope to use local materials there as well," he said. "We have already decided to buy the furniture with our money generated from the community forest."
Once furnished, he said people, wishing to experience a rustic village setting, away from the bustles of a town, could come for breaks, recess, or vacationing.
The community's accountant IB Gurung said they would be using Nu 60,000 from their savings account, which they mobilised over the years by selling brooms, firewood and bamboos, to buy furniture for the cottage.
"We're planning to buy chairs and beds made of wood," he said. "Every household from this year will have to deposit Nu 200 annually for that purpose."
The cottage, however, was built at the cost of Nu 820,000 funded by the government.
Sonam Wangchuk said the government had initially provided Nu 1.4M to build the cottage, but since they made do with almost half that amount, the rest of the money was returned to the government.
About 2,500 bamboos were used for the construction of the cottage that came from the community forest the two commuities planted and managed.
DB Rai said about 400 bamboos had to be bought from another village for roofing at Nu 50 a piece.
Two villagers, who were once sent to Nagaland, India on a field trip, had built the cottage.
"While they couldn't witness the building of bamboo houses, they had taken pictures of the bamboo-built cottages," DB Rai said. "They built this cottage looking at the pictures."
Depending on how the venture goes, he said they would build more such cottages.
The Pakpay community forest, established in 2009 has about 62.72 acres of forestland, managed by 45 households of the two villages.
Meanwhile, villagers are still planning on a rate to rent the cottage.
