Unique gifts for babies, kids and their grown-ups.
Cute Tools: Style and Function
If you've been decorating for the holidays, you've probably picked up a hammer once or twice. Whether you're hanging lights outside you house, suspending a Mark Roberts Fairy from above, or building a new platform for your Dept. 56 Villages. So why do all the tools look like they're made just for guys? Just because a girl can be handy doesn't mean she needs those masculine tools, right? But that doesn't mean we need little mini versions, either. You've seen the ones - so light you can barely hammer in a thumbtack!
I was excited when I found Cute Tools because they are hand-painted to add fun and a feminine touch, yet they're the real deal. Yep, that's a full heavy duty 8-ounce hammer - drop forged, perfectly balanced... You get the idea. If you've got a woman in your life who loves gardening, we've got a matching garden rake and trowel as well!
One more thing I should mention about Cute Tools is that they've teamed up with Art for a Cause. They work together on the manufacturing process of the tools to provide a teaching environment for kids with developmental disabilities to learn real-life skills. How cool is that?

Wild Things Gear has a new online outlet store. www.wildthingsgear.com/shopThe EP Hoodie is pretty warm and only weighs a little over a pound.
I have been using one of these for 4 or 5 years. The original one is a Large but I didn't notice that these are unisex sized when I purchased the first one and wished I had a little more room. I picked up an XL to fit over my down sweater without compromizing the loft. I use the EPIC shell as my raingear - with a little seam sealing it is pretty amazing.

But for some reason we were stopped dead in our tracks -- again! This morning we went to change his diaper right before the doctors were making their rounds and lo and behold -- there was blood. We just sat there for a few minutes in disbelief trying to figure out what to do. And to think that we had JUST spoken with the dietician and one of the cardiologists earlier and they indicated that they would be able to pull out his feeding tube and we could plan to be discharged as early as Wednesday since things were going so well with the feeding. Well, of course we told them about the blood. Needless to say, we're no longer on breastmilk and plans have changed yet again. Apparently, Jamie will need to be even MORE strict in her non-dairy diet (and even non-soy now).. We are already starting to eliminate even more and just restrict ourselves to fruits, vegetables, salads, and a few other allowable things. If we can keep up the eating restrictions, Jamie may try breastmilk again down the road when whatever it is is completely out of her system.
So, here's the bottom line. Martin had to go BACK on Elecare -- and so we went out and bought a variety of flavors to apply to the top ring portion of his bottle. This was an idea given to us by the OT (occupational therapist) that might help Martin drink the Elecare formula if it at least smelled a bit better. We applied a bit of the banana extract on the bottle ring and tried feeding the Elecare to Martin yet again. We were bracing ourselves for a very fussy baby. The bad news is that he definitely didn't enjoy it as much as the breastmilk and he was a lot slower. The good news is that he EVENTUALLY drank the full 75mL feed! Yes! He did it! Even though he didn't like it. And it took longer -- but he drank it! I don't know if it was the new smell or just the fact that he was really hungry at the time -- but who cares? He did it! And at least we know that it can be done! Whew!
So, the bottom line of the bottom line is that we are going to have to work really really hard to get him to drink the Elecare formula from a bottle. This is the only way we can be discharged. He doesn't like it, but please pray with us that he will be a good boy and drink it anyway! Yes, we had a discouraging day -- especially as we were already pretty sleep-deprived, and the next few days will be tough, but at least they haven't stopped feeds and he took an entire feed of Elecare (so far). So, there's plenty to be thankful for still. We are trying to understand God's purpose in this disappointment. Obviously, the Lord was in control of everything this morning and knows what He is doing. We need simply to be submissive, try to discern the Lord's will for us, and do our best in the meantime.
One final note, Martin had a second swallow study done and he passed it this time with flying colors! We were able to get some of it on video this time. If Martin can continue to drink full feeds of Elecare every time with a bottle, we may not be set back too far! Well, it looks like he's due to eat again -- hope it goes well ...
Update midnight -- he's doing it again!: Martin just finished another full feed of Elecare from the bottle! That's 3 full-feed sessions on Elecare today! He's definitely doing it and it looks like he can keep up this pace. We'll keep this up through the night and we will have a better idea of what to expect from the doctors in the morning. What a mercy this is! If you saw him kick and fuss just two days ago as we unsuccessfully tried and tried again to feed him just a few mL of Elecare, and see him NOW able to drink a full feed -- you would agree with us that it's a definite and most welcome answer to prayer!
Another diet item to consider eliminating (I know the thought is hard!) is any artificial sweeteners like Splenda, aspartame in diet sodas, yogurts, etc ---you may be already doing this. I've had several friends whose babies' guts responded with bloody stools anytime they had any artificial sweeteners. Published research says that these are "safe," but practical experience has shown they aren't always.
In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow's lone hour,In times when temptation casts o'er me its power;In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in Thee.
How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe,,How often, when trials like sea-billows roll,Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.
Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee, Thou blest Rock of Ages, I'm hiding in Thee.

Best Practices
Residential Gray Water
Tucson, AZ
To conserve the supply of fresh water by using gray water for residential landscaping.
The policy has not yet gone into effect, but the City estimates that because 40% of the average Tucson household's water is used outdoors, the use of gray water will save a single household 13,000 gallons of fresh drinking water per year.
Background & Summary
Recognizing that Tucson, as a desert community, faces a drastic need for water conservation in order to prevent drought conditions, the City of Tucson has passed an ordinance that makes it easy for homeowners to reuse their gray water for landscaping. Gray water is recycled water from clothes washers, bathtubs, showers, and bathroom sinks. Beginning June 1, 2010, all new construction of single-family homes and duplexes in Tucson will be required to include plumbing to distribute gray water for outdoor irrigation.
Public Support & Opposition:
A stakeholder group was created to develop the gray water policy, and included members of non-profit environmental organizations, gray water experts, builder associations, developers, realtors, and more. This group found that the costs associated with implementation of the policy were underestimated. The City will monitor for several years, and after determining true costs, will make changes as necessary.
A need was also discovered for increased plumbing code standards as applied to gray water systems. Consistency in interior plumbing design requirements would streamline the gray water installation process.

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster came to Smith-Cotton High School on Wednesday, Jan. 15, to discuss the duties of his office and other issues with students in teacher Steve Schilb's "Law & You" class.
Koster provided students an overview of the responsibilities of the state's legal authority, including public safety, consumer protection and litigation. He then opened the floor for students to ask questions. Senior Madison Hendricks asked Koster about the impact of his decision to switch from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party in 2007.
"It was the most tense part of my professional life," Koster said. "It was a very difficult transition. … I sometimes have joked with my mother … that it would have been easier if I had switched religions."
In response to a question from senior Logan Holman, Koster said he sees one of the key differences currently between the two parties in Missouri is the constituency bases they reach out to for support. Koster also answered questions about the death penalty, legalization of marijuana, child support for emancipated minors and differing political philosophies between urban and rural residents. Afterward, he toured the Federal Emergency Management Agency building on the Smith-Cotton Junior High School campus.
Schilb extended his thanks to Koster for the time spent with the students.
"He was very gracious and willing to answer even 'tough' questions from the kids," Schilb said. "He was authentic and the kids sensed that he was a real person."
Superintendent Brad Pollitt said: "We always like to take the opportunity to show off our district facilities and students when given the opportunity. We appreciate Attorney General Koster taking the time to visit one of our classrooms and talking openly with our students." Courtesy Sedalia School District 200.

The Pleasanton Seahawks (PLS) swim team recently achieved the USA Swimming Level 4 Club Recognition status. This is the highest recognition awarded to swim clubs by USA Swimming. Reflecting outstanding achievement in business/organizational success, parent/volunteer development, coach development/education and athlete development/performance, Level 4 Clubs must fulfill required standards within each category along with additional points necessary for this ranking.
Representing an elite group of clubs, the Pleasanton Seahawks is the only Pacific Swimming Club to have earned the Level 4 Recognition Award, one of only two clubs in California, and one of just six clubs in the Western U.S.
"The award is just another confirmation of our belief that we are an outstanding team within the USA Swimming and Pacific Swimming family," said PLS Head Coach, Steve Morsilli. "It takes organizational and performance excellence to qualify for Level 4, so it's a positive reflection on the administration and the coaches and athletes."
In addition to the Level 4 Recognition, PLS earned the 2010 Silver Medal Club for the ninth year in a row as part of the USA Swimming Excellence Program, ranking the Seahawks as one of the top 30 Clubs in the United States.
BUSC U12 Elite beats TV Bayern
Ballistic United U12 Elite recently battled the TriValley Bayern at Val Vista and came out on top with a score of 3-2.
Ballistic U12 D1 Elite got off to a great start of the newly-introduced spring season thanks to goals by Blake Tucker, Garrett Howell and Michael Leonard. The first half saw United take the lead less than five minutes into the game thanks to some quick footwork by Tucker. Tri-Valley equalized soon after in what was to become a fairly even match. Elite's lead was restored after a fantastic finish by Howell late into the first half. After the break, Tri-Valley came back in to the game thanks to a lucky long kick that lobbed itself into the net. However some outstanding goalkeeping by Jared Wilson and excellent defending by Colin Ritchie and Griffen Chinn kept Tri-Valley from getting on the score sheet again. Elite sealed their victory after a cross was put away by Michael Leonard in the dying minutes of the game.
First homer for new fields
In a game of A's v. Angels of the Pleasanton Foothill Little League, it was another first for Pleasanton's new baseball complex at the Bernal Fields: a home run. It could not have happened in a more dramatic fashion. The Athletics and Angels squared on Saturday in a classic pitcher's dual. With the Angels ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth with two out, Shaun Kienhofer hit a blast for the ages to tie the game at 3-3. The ball not only traveled the necessary 225 feet, but also cleared the 25-foot fence in right center field. The Athletics later won the game when Justin Lavell led off the seventh with a walk, took second on a base hit by Joshua Lim, stole third and then scored on an infield single by Daniel Mubarak. The Athletics' pitching was anchored by Kienhofer, Nate Gipson and Jeffrey Deguchi. There was some great defense in the game, particularly a double play started by left fielder Nick Dauskurdas.
Padres defeat Cardinals in a tough battle on the diamond
In PFLL AA play, the Cardinals met the Padres on Friday night under the lights at Bernal field. The Cards came out strong to start the game and took the lead early with a hit by Trevor Krysler that resulted in an RBI bringing home Demetre Aaron. In the fourth inning, Nick Palange hit a single. Brett Davis' triple to right field brought home Palange, and Joshua Robinson's walk brought home Davis.
Defensively the Cardinals were able to hold the Padres off for the first half of the game. Davis' pitching shut down the Padres offense allowing no hits and only one walk in the first three innings. Jack Kost fielded the ball nicely, throwing to Krysler at first base for an out. Aaron also made an out at first. The Cardinals played hard, but the Padres pulled out the win in the end with a 6-3 victory.

Coming together to help Pa'aUPDATED 8:11 AM HST Aug 15, 2014
Family and friends are putting together a fundraiser for Pa'a who suffers from a rare heart condition.Video Transcript
Joining us this morning is Hauoli Kahlbaum. Pa'a and his condition- Pa'a was born with Hypoplastic Right-sided Heart Syndrome among other organ abnormalities. HRHS is a rare heart defect where structures on the right side of the heart are underdeveloped. This effects the blood supply to the lungs and the body leading to low levels of oxygen. His journey started with his dad Kalawai'a delivering him in his truck on the way to the hospital. Within hours doctors knew something was wrong and he was medevaced to Kapiolani Hospital. After a few days he was transferred to Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego where he had open heart surgery at just 10 days old. Since then he has had 9 misc surgeries and 3 open heart with his last one in April. Pa'a's mom Nikki and I worked together at the Shack so we are Ohana, also my son is the same age as Pa'a so I have been closely following his progress and are reasons why I feel so compelled to help as much as possible. We are throwing a fundraiser to help the Lee family with some of Pa'a's immense medical bills. We are having a silent auction which tickets cost $30 includes 2 drinks tickets, free pupus and a silent auction number, there are raffle prizes, entertainment and much more at the Shack Hawaii Kai from 5-9. All proceeds are being donated to the Lee Ohana for Pa'a. If anyone is unable to attend but still want to help they can go to his website at powerofpaa.com http://powerofpaa.com and can donate to their paypal account. Also, everyone can follow Pa'a's progress through Friends of Pa'akamana'o on Facebook. I would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous donations, our talented performers Yoza, Jroq, Jenna Keliikuli, and HiGrade for volunteering their time for this event. And mostly, the Shack for hosting this event. KOKUA FOR PA'A CONGENITAL 2 C1

The One Young World International Youth Forum (hosted by Riverside High School Honors World Cultures and Honors English classes in the LGI) will be live streamed from 12:30 to 2:00 pm on Thursday, February 28, and archived at http://video.magpi.net/videos/. The topic is human rights and includes students from the following schools in the US and around the world:
- Riverside Beaver County High School (host)/presentation
- Cornell High School
- Del Valle High School (11:30 AM -1:00 PM CST)
- South Fayette High School
- South Park High School
- University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa
- Via Mundo, Brazil
One Young World International Youth Forum is a discussion between the moderator, Steven Sokol of the World Affairs Council Pittsburgh, and the high school students from the schools listed above. Sokol will be at Riverside today, along with Amiena Mahsoob of World affairs and Tim Devlin from the Allegheny Intermediate Unit.
This project was completed by tenth grade students who have been studying human rights – the origin and current issues. They will present their own video addressing the issue during this conference, which is linked to the One Young World Summit http://oneyoungworldpittsburgh.com/ held in Pittsburgh last fall. This was made possible through a partnership with World Affairs Council Pittsburgh.
Raylene Boots, social studies teacher at Riverside, said the students have had lessons in their Honors World Cultures classes and their Honors English 10 classes.
"This began in December, when they first considered the issue of Tibet and China; they continued by examining the China-Taiwan issue," Boots said. "They analyzed a variety of human rights, then chose one to make a video about. They learned to use animoto and in groups, created 3 minute videos to illustrate how they felt about that human right. The videos used only images, music and written words (no dialogue) to convey their message."
According to Boots, although the students did not attend the summit, they did participate in the live feed. She said they felt very involved in the process.
"Hopefully, they learned something about human rights. But more importantly, I want them to become aware of the issues in the world around them, to develop their ability to analyze and evaluate international issues, and to demonstrate the capacity to communicate their ideas," Boots said. "This event provides the opportunity for them to do all of this."
Boots said another plus of this project is the opportunity to learn about other cultures.
"One of the goals of the conference is for them to learn about other cultures and how they view human rights. In addition, there are human rights issues in the United States which some believe should be improved, such as equal access to education," Boots said. "Education was the topic of the last teleconference, in which Riverside participated. The next conference is in April and the focus will be on Global Health. We plan to participate again. This conference is special to us because we are hosting."
Jonica Walters will also bring students from Lincoln High School to participate in the forum.

For those who brave the cold and perch upon our sills, we've been hard at work making gingerbread cookies to spice things up while they wait. Stop in and say hi tomorrow and try one of our scratch hand made cookies. Cheers!

AAh, yeah The women who took smirking pride in saying they have no domestic skills that have to be told to give their children affection. They use their driving kids to soccer and ballet practice as an excuse to avoid doing house work so their husband can come home from work to a pig sty and if he wants a clean home, clothes washed, dishes washed,etc etc he has to do it himself after taking care of yard, and repairs cars and the house.June 12 2010 at 5:54 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
First of all, let me say that the new censorship policy is pure bull. And, since obama can say ass, the people at aol should get their heads out of their own asses. As for men in marriage, my opinion is woman are all the same, manipulative, and overbearing, and I do not mean that with disrespect, it is just the way it is. For example, there was an article on aol recently about how marriage would have a better succes rate if men helped with housework. Well ladies, when you met us we were what we were. Now you expect us to change to your way. If we don't want to do housework and you do, then god bless. We do not see the world through your eyes, and we naver will. We are just stupid enough to continually believe there is a woman out there that isn't going to try to change us, and likes us for who and what we are. Of course once the hook is set, we are just fish out of water.June 11 2010 at 10:33 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

As long as the checks keep coming I'll never see him again...ha ha" Women disrespect, defile, humiliate, scream at, cheat on and physically abuse men and they just take it; yet if one of them does the same to us we yell foul.

Scott Kooistra in stable condition, on IR after serious neck injury
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Scott Kooistra looked on Saturday night like he could be the Minnesota Vikings' right guard.
Two days later, his season is over and his career perhaps in jeopardy.
Kooistra suffered a "pretty serious injury" to his neck in the Vikings' preseason game against Seattle and has been placed on injured reserve, coach Leslie Frazier said after Monday's practice.
His agent, Joe Linta, said in an email on Monday evening that Kooistra is in stable condition with movement in all of his appendages. It is believed Kooistra suffered an injury to the C-2 vertebra near the top of his spinal cord, Linta said, but he is awaiting an MRI.
"It was a play where he was pulling and just really got his neck jammed," Frazier said of Kooistra, a 30-year-old Madison native who spent eight seasons as a backup in Cincinnati and Baltimore before signing a one-year deal with the Vikings last month.
"Came to the sideline, was in pain, really couldn't move left or right, and in the process of evaluation postgame, they just told us it was a very significant neck injury, we're going to probably lose him for quite a while, and he's still in Seattle, going through the evaluation process."
Injuries to the cervical vertibrae can result in paralysis, loss of diaphragm function and other permanent conditions. But Frazier said Kooistra was walking after the injury, and the early reports on his condition seem positive.
In fact, the play that meets Frazier's description came on second-and-1 from the Seahawks' 15-yard line in the second quarter. Kooistra pulled through the left side and was met by hard-charging Seattle linebacker Aaron Curry, who appeared to stick his helmet into Kooistra's chest. Yet Kooistra finished the final three snaps of the series before departing with the rest of the Vikings' first-string offensive line.
From a football perspective, the injury is a blow for the Vikings and Kooistra, whose performance before the injury on Saturday had put him in the mix for the starting job while Anthony Herrera continues to recover from knee reconstruction.
"No doubt," Frazier said. "He was a guy who looked like he might be able to help us on the offensive line. So, yeah, tough loss."
Herrera practiced on Monday and will be evaluated throughout the week to see if he's ready to play on Saturday against Dallas. If he's not, Ryan Cook "more than likely" would get the start over Chris DeGeare, Frazier said. DeGeare remained at right tackle with the second string on Monday.
The Vikings replaced Kooistra on the 90-man roster with defensive end Stylez G. White, a former Gopher who had 24 sacks over the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Frazier said the move was made "just to be able to give us some depth and get a chance to take a look at (White) in training camp and just see if he can help us in any way."

Bowl with appliqué decoration
Roman, mid-4th century AD
From central Tunisia
African Red Slip ware
The bowl is made in a thin, fine clay, typical of central Tunisia. The interior is decorated with appliqués. The larger scene, taking up almost half of the vessel floor, shows a group of cupids. The central cupid reclines and seems to be mimicking Hercules, while the others make offerings to him of a garland and a kid. The smaller appliqué shows a centaur-triton blowing an elongated triton shell. The two subjects do not seem to be related, but the random mixing of motifs is common in this period.
African Red Slip Ware was inspired by Italian Red Slip Ware (Arretine ware) and Gaulish Red Slip Ware (samian ware). It began to be manufactured in numerous kiln-sites throughout Africa Proconsularis (northern Tunisia) from the first century AD. While it was originally produced for the domestic market, it began to be used as a secondary, or 'piggy-back', cargo on the corn and oil ships which sailed from Africa. By the late first century AD it had reached Sicily and Italy. As the produce of North Africa became ever more important to the Empire, the quantity, diversity and popularity of north African products grew proportionately. By the later third century, African Red Slip Ware, produced now in central as well as northern Tunisia, was the dominant pottery tableware of the Roman world, and continued to dominate the market until the Arab invasions of the later seventh century destroyed workshops and markets alike.

I absolutely loved planning this marriage proposal that I am sharing with you today. The thing I loved most about it is what I learned while I was interviewing my client in order to come up with a unique proposal idea. Inder is madly in love with Richa and wanted to make sure she had a proposal she would never forget. He knew that he wanted an amazing view of San Francisco for his proposal, he just didn't know where to find one. He also wanted to make sure he had a really unique concept. While getting to know the couple through Inder, I learned her favorite movie is an Indian movie Veer Zaara. I began to do research on the movie to see if it would make for a good proposal concept and did it ever. Tere Liye is the main song from the movie and it means "for you" and the movie is a love story. I am now dying to see this movie in it's entirety! When I presented the idea to Inder that we use the movie as the theme for his proposal, he was beyond excited. Here is how it went down:
Inder told Richa they were going to go out to dinner but instead they went to a private room with beautiful views of the city. When she walked in, she was completely blown away. A beautiful banner was hung from the ceiling which said, "Tere Liye Richa Baby, Sab Kuch Tere Liye." There was a string quartet in the middle of the room playing the soundtrack from the movie.
Because her favorite color is pink, we had pink rose petals, flowers, and pink tinted mason jars with candles everywhere. We displayed photos of the couple and set up a romantic table for two so they could celebrate once she said yes. And boy did she ever say yes! Check out these stunning photos from 555 Photography. Congratulations Inder and Richa! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.
If you are trying to come up with the perfect proposal idea, but you are having a hard time, contact The Heart Bandits. Even if you have an idea and just need help executing it, we have you covered. Contact us today!

David Bell says that it is "a pity" that Overblown, by John Mueller, "isn't getting more attention," because its central thesis--that the risk of terrorism is wildly exaggerated--deserves to be part of public debate. As it happens, I've just finished a long review of Overblown (along with Robert Goodin's What's Wrong With Terrorism?) and the review will appear in The New Republic, of all places, very soon.
Some small points by way of preview: It's not clear that Mueller has any good argument that the United States government should be doing "less," in the way of precautionary measures, than it is now doing. (His provocative arguments may suggest that we should be doing differently--but not necessarily less.) But Mueller is probably correct on an important question: Many individual Americans have felt at serious personal risk since 9/11, even though they are not really in danger. Indeed, many Americans are far more worried about dying in a terrorist attack than they are of dying from risks that are, as a statistical matter, a lot bigger (and still too small to be worth worrying over).
A central problem is that when an event is salient, we often
exaggerate the likelihood of its occurrence, or don't think much
about likelihood at all (focusing only on how bad it would be if it came to fruition). Of course few events are as salient as the 9/11 attacks.
Whether or not Mueller and Goodin are correct on their central
arguments (and I raise a number of objections), their books raise many important questions about risk perception and terrorism.

Marketing Matters: Deciding Who Decides
A resident camp recently conducted research to learn how families approached the process of selecting a camp. Specifically, the camp wanted to know more about how their prospects considered the materials the camp had sent to their homes and how the final decisions were made. The result is another strong confirmation of how important it is for camps to respond to the realities of the marketplace.
When asked who in the family had more than half of the total influence on the decision for a first-time resident camp experience, the majority said it was the child. Only one out of eighteen parents took total responsibility for the choice, explaining to her child that, "Mom understands the importance of this and wants to make the best decision possible for you."
In many cases, the parent was willing to admit — sometimes with not a small amount of shame — that the child made the entire decision all by himself or herself. One parent responded, "I sent my child into the other room with a stack of videos and told her to decide which one she liked best. That was how we did it." When asked whether she agreed with her son's choice, based upon her own viewing of the videos, one mother divulged that she had not even bothered to look at them.
Lessons Learned
Camp professionals can learn much from these findings:
- The camp decision process continues to be complex, with many different factors converging on both parents and children.
- Families receive various configurations of print materials and videos, plus they occasionally visit Web sites, but videos are still the most important factors in their decisions.
- When Web sites are visited, it is usually by a parent alone or a child alone. They seldom view the site together.
- Home visits by camp owners or directors are appreciated, but phone calls with those same people are considered equally helpful.
- When families receive packages from several camps and then visit Web sites, the overall effect is often one of confusion.
- Sometimes the confusion even causes parents to beat a hasty retreat by forestalling the decision and not sending the child to camp in the intended year. ("I just couldn't deal with it all, so we've just put it all off until next year.")
Responding Effectively
Camps can respond effectively to these situation by carefully considering the following:
- Make your message memorable by finding your unique point of difference versus competitors, and you will serve the information needs of many families who are looking for ways to cope with the reported "sameness" of camp marketing materials.
- Place primary emphasis on developing a video that looks different from other camp video presentations.
n Spend as much time as you can afford on the phone with parents, answering all their questions, listening to them, and assisting them with this often daunting process.
- When on the phone or when making home visits, do all you can to establish yourself as a memorable personality.
- Incorporate ACA's "World of Good" message into your discussion, reassuring parents that the camp experience has significant value and should not be put off simply because this important decision may seem temporarily overwhelming.
All this having been said, consider the possibility of mildly challenging the parent who admits to turning the decision over to the child. You may feel comfortable asking a parent whether they allowed their child to make other serious decisions, such as choice of vacation destination or nursery school. Did the parents abdicate these decisions? A collective concern here should be that parents might not take the summer camp decision as seriously as they should. Parents need to realize that a summer camp decision is often not a two-week or four-week decision, but a choice that may very well begin a major multiple-year commitment.
From a Child's Perspective
At the same time, you must take the role of the child seriously and consider how your marketing message will be received by these young consumers. Some suggestions:
- Make sure that children know you have prepared some part of your marketing message specifically for them. If this can be a totally separate piece, such as a brochure insert, activity booklet, separate page on your Web site, or even a separate video, so much the better.
- Be cool. This is a serious point. Children don't understand concepts like "generations of tradition." They do not care that a camp may have been in continuous operation since the 1930s. They want to spend the summer enjoying themselves, and you need to understand how to communicate on their terms.
- Consider cartoons and comic books when developing new print messages, and remember that your Web site is basically a print message.
- Find ways to add texture to videos; include interviews, characters, and just plain fun.
- By all means, answer children's curiosity by showing them the mysteries of what life is like sleeping in a bunk. Time and time again, children say that while they know all about most sports and arts activities, they have never before slept with six, eight, or ten others. Make them feel comfortable about it by using photos and well-edited video sequences about bunk life.
- If you make home visits, be certain that your time with the family is not perceived as "time with the parents, talking about the child." Instead, keep the child involved throughout the session.
Let's look at the glass as half full, at a minimum. When parents become confused, fragmented, and even detached during the camp decision process, it gives the well-prepared camp an opportunity to step in, become constructively supportive, and likely close the sale.
Steve Cony is a marketing consultant who assists children's camps with the development of strategic plans and the execution of marketing materials. Camp directors may contact him at 914-271-8482.

HOUSTON, Nov. 5 – Seneca Resources Corp., Williamsville, NY, built Marcellus shale gas production to 53 MMcfd on Sept. 30, the end of fiscal 2010, having produced 7.2 bcf equivalent since the first well went on line in Tioga County, Pa., in November 2009.
Companywide production for the fiscal year was up 16.8% to 49.7 bcfe. Output rose 90% in Appalachia, with Marcellus production and higher output from Upper Devonian wells more than offsetting small production declines in California and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Marcellus produced 2.9 bcfe in the fourth fiscal quarter.

Arsenic Illegally Released into California's Groundwater
A natural gas-fired power plant in Yuba City, Calif., failed to minimize releases of hazardous waste into the environment
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has fined a natural gas-fired power plant $13,500 for improper management of hazardous waste. According to EPA, the plant, located in Yuba City, Calif., generated arsenic from the treatment of wastewater and failed to minimize releases of hazardous waste to the environment.
Arsenic occurs naturally in the local groundwater, which the plant uses in its daily operations. The agency discovered that the facility produced arsenic from the treatment of wastewater, but it "allowed federally regulated levels of arsenic to be released to the environment, potentially exposing its workers to hazardous waste."
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, all hazardous substances must be stored, handled and disposed of using procedures that protect the environment and public health.
Since the investigation, the corporation responsible for the California plant "has put in place cost-effective engineering controls to minimize further releases of arsenic. The facility implemented initial correction measures immediately after the inspection, and a year later installed a more permanent barrier to confine the arsenic," according to an EPA press release.
"Arsenic has different forms—organic and inorganic—and the inorganic form is far more dangerous than the organic one," said Michael Chapman, chemical laboratory manager for LA Testing Inc.

Product Description
"I used to be a gourmet soda junkie. Thanks to Sacha Laurin and the gals at NessAlla Kombucha Company in Madison, Wisconsin, who turned me on to great tasting Kombucha,
I'm a changed man."-Steve Shapson
Kombucha is fast becoming a very popular beverage that not only tastes great, but can be beneficial to your health. Kombucha contains lot of Vitamin B and healthy bacteria and yeasts. I've had the commercial Kombucha of which there are many. Most just didn't wet my whistle. They had an odd aftertaste and were too acidic for my taste(you can adjust the acidity and flavor to your liking). After consuming some friend's(thanks Sacha) wonderful Kombucha and having some made by NessAlla in nearby Madison, Wisconsin, I was hooked. Kombucha is very easy to make. You can carbonate it naturally or artificially(I run two on tap at home). Add non-sweetened fruit juice after to give it the flavor you want. Or use herbal teas from Rishi to add great flavor. Kombucha is gluten & dairy free.-Steve Shapson (former gourmet soda consumer, now Kombucha lover).
Each Kombucha Mother (SCOBY) is culivated in it's own glass container and then vacuum packed along with enough Kombucha to help your first batch succeed. The SCOBY is shipped priority post to insure its fast delivery to you. Instructions & online support included. Includes 10 pH strips to test your Kombucha for the correct pH (acid level).
Order our Kombucha Mother(SCOBY) with or without a combination of Black/Green teas and Herbal teas. Each selection of 2 oz.(57grams) tea is only $6.00**(a $8.97 value)when you purchase the Kombucha Mother. **Priced lower than stores or online.
You'll want to add one or more of these incredibly delicious Rishi Teas, great for making Kombucha or steeping for tea. Use either Black or Green tea or a combination of both. Flavor your Kombucha using one or more Rishi Herbal Teas. Rishi Teas are quite concentrated so a little goes a long way. Instructions included to help you care and maintain your SCOBY and batches of Kombucha.
Choose either Black and Green Teas as the base tea for your Kombucha.
Ceylon Single Estate Black Tea-2 oz.(57g)
Jade Cloud Green Tea Organic and Fair Trade™-2 oz.(57g)
Choose a Herbal Teas to give your Kombucha a great flavor.
Tangerine Ginger Caffeine-Free Herbal Blend-Organic and Fair Trade™-2 oz.(57g)
Hibiscus Berry Caffeine-Free Herbal Blend Organic and Fair Trade™-2 oz.(57g)
Plum Berry White Tea-Organic Blend-2 oz.(57g)
Mandarin Citrus White Tea Organic Blend-2 oz.(57g)
Peach Blossom White Tea Organic Blend-2 oz.(57g)
Rishi Turmeric Ginger Caffeine-Free Herbal Blend Organic Tea-2 oz.(57g)
Using our Organic California Culinary Lavender Buds in Kombucha: Adding a small amount of our Culinary Lavender in your tea mix leaves a nice light finish in your Kombucha. Add just 3 grams(about 1/9th of a tsp) per gallon of water. This amount will result in a very pleasant flavor note, bringing your Kombucha to a whole new level. It's best to add Lavender when using Green Tea and/or White Tea.
Bumper Stickers and Business Card Magnets available.
Note: Your first batch may take more days to fully ferment due to the SCOBY's temporary dormancy, so be patient. The SCOBY will grow to the width of the jar(at the liquid surface) and the next batch will ferment in the actual 7-10 days.
Directions: Bring 1 gallon(3.78l) of water and 1 cup(236.5ml) white* sugar to boil, turn off heat, stir in tea, steep for 10-15 minutes and allow to cool to room temperature prior to adding Kombucha SCOBY(mother/culture). Or, instead of waiting for the steeped tea to cool down to room temperature, you can add some clean ice cubes and/or clean non chlorinated water to cool it down to where you can place the SCOBY into the jar. SCOBY's do not like too warm or hot tea. The temperature should be between 65-75F(18-24c).A good method is to steep the tea(s) in 25% of the total amount of water used(with 100% of the sugar). Strain off the tea, then add 25% ice and fill with cold water to get your 65-75F(18-24c) temperature.Use glass jar, cover with cloth using rubber band to secure cloth. Allow to ferment at room temperature*** for 7-10 days, sometimes longer with first batch. Using a clean spoon, taste your Kombucha for residual sweetness. Ferment until you prefer the acidity level (usually 7 days). Pull SCOBY off Kombucha and store SCOBY in a glass jar covered with either freshly made cooled tea/sugar/water or a small amount of already fermented Kombucha. Store at normal room temperature, adding a small amount of freshly made tea/sugar/water to maintain health of SCOBY. Color of SCOBY may look brown on top with strings hanging underneath. This is normal. Discard SCOBY if white, black or blue colonies of mold appear (red color on photo here is color of tea, not mold). You don't want your Kombucha to become too acidic. Seven days seems to be the magic time period for fermentation. Add non-sweetened fruit juice after to give it the flavor you want. Or use herbal teas from Rishi to add great flavor. Kombucha is gluten free. Store your Kombucha in a glass bottle with secure lid since the residual fermentation will create some carbonation.
Sugar to water ratio: 1 cup(236.5ml) of white sugar to 1 gallon(3.78l) of water.
Leaf to water ratio: Kombucha tea: 5 tsp.(24.6ml) for one gallon(3.78l) of water. Steep Time:10-15 minutes.
Leaf to water ratio: drinking tea: 1 tsp.(5ml) per 8 oz.(236.5ml) Steep Time: 3 minutes (1st infusion), 4 minutes (2nd infusion).

Additional product details
An essential volume for anyone interested in the history of sociology, the development of sociological theory, or the history of women in the profession, this well-researched, compellingly argued book makes the case for the active and significant presence of women in the creation of sociology and social theory in its founding and classic periods. Further, Lengermann and Niebrugge explain how the women came to be erased from the history of sociology and identify the political and intellectual currents that now make their recovery both possible and important. The volume focuses on 15 women in eight chapters. Each chapter begins with a biographical sketch situating each thinker's ideas in a historical, social, and cultural context. Next, the authors analyze the woman's theory, summarizing its underlying assumptions, explicating its major themes, and introducing key vocabulary. The chapter concludes with excerpts from the original texts of the women founders. All the theories discussed in this text share a moral commitment to the idea that sociology should and could work for the alleviation of socially produced human pain. The ethical duty of the sociologist is to seek sound scientific knowledge, to refuse to make the knowledge an end in itself, to speak for the disempowered, to advocate social reform, and to never forget that the appropriate relationship between researcher and subject is one of mutuality.

The Child's Pose
Winner of the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival, The Child's Pose is a savagely witty and engrossing look at a mother's love. The great actress Luminita Gheorghiu (The Death of Mr. Lazarescu) gives a riveting performance as a well-to-do Bucharest architect who is determined to keep her 30-something deadbeat son out of jail after a deadly car crash. A spellbinding drama distinguished by astute social commentary and psychological realism, this is yet another example of why the Romanian New Wave is producing some of the world's most acclaimed films in recent years. (112 mins., DCP)

i think the worst thing about being lied to is knowing you're not worth the truth .
Any Joe Walsh fans? "In the eyes of the Confessor you can't tell a lie You cannot tell a lie Strip you down to size Naked as the day that you were born .Take all the trauma, drama, karma, guilt, and doubt, and shame "What if's" and "if only's"; the shackles and the chains Violence and agression; the pettiness and scorn The jealousy and hatred; the tempest and discord And give it up!"
,Joe Walsh – The Confessor with lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3XSI_xwvss
Love to all.
These lines are from Ralph Waldo Trine's classic: In Tune with the Infinite.
Tune your ear to all the wordless music of the stars,
And to the voice of nature, and your heart
Shall turn to truth and goodness, as the plant
Turns to the sun. A thousand unseen hands
Reach down to help you from their peace crowned heights.
And all the forces of the firmament
Shall fortify your strength. Be not afraid
To thrust aside half-truths and grasp the whole.
One Love528hz
That's beautiful, thank you Elva.
I'm always curious about the 528 Hz that you always end your posts with. Where could I find more information about it? Much Love
A day as a man
Not a life as a lamb, lov ya all

Nabothian cyst
A nabothian cyst is a mucus-filled lump on the surface of the cervix.
The cervix is part of the female body. It is at the lower end of the womb (uterus) at the top of the vagina. It is about 1 inch long.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cervix is lined with glands and cells that release mucus. The glands can become covered by a type of skin cells called squamous epithelium. When this happens, the secretions build up in the plugged glands. They form a smooth, rounded bump on the cervix. The bump is called a nabothian cyst.
Each nabothian cyst appears as a small, white raised bump. There can be more than one.
Signs and tests
During a pelvic exam, the health care provider will see a small, smooth, rounded lump (or collection of lumps) on the surface of the cervix. Rarely, magnifying the area (colposcopy) may be needed to tell these cysts from other bumps that can occur.
Sometimes the cyst is opened to confirm the diagnosis.
No treatment is necessary. Nabothian cysts do not cause any problems.
Rarely they may be opened and drained if they are large enough to cause problems with the shape of the cervical canal, which can examinations more difficult.
Expectations (prognosis)
Nabothian cysts do not cause any harm. They are a benign condition.
Rarely, cysts become so numerous or enlarged that the cervix becomes enlarged or blocked, making it difficult to take a Pap smear.
Calling your health care provider
This condition is usually discovered during a routine pelvic examination.
There is no known prevention.

Meccano have recently made a new charger that after 4hrs of charging it automaticly turn off the charger. If you already have spykee you can get it for free if you e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com and give them your fist name and surname and your address. I got mine the other week. Mine came from Hong Kong it said so it could take a wee while for it to come be patient.
Interesting! I' ve been concerned about the amound of heat Spykee generates when sitting on the docking pad. Here's the Spykee URL for those of us in the US interested in this:
Now, if only Meccano could make Spykee more WPA-friendly and let you enable video surveillance while docked . . .
Well, my replacement base arrived, but brought up a new problem. The new charger does charge for four hours, and then turns off. The problem is, it doesn't turn back on until you undock Spykee, meaning the battery eventually runs down if you don't use Spykee. My battery was on the weak side when I first got my Spykee (Woot clearance item), so maybe a new, larger one might be in order anyway. I've seen some links here to batteries for sale on eBay, but the links are all broken now because the item is no longer available. What is a good replacement battery for Spykee?
The battery which Spykee is shipped with is a piece of junk. After figuring out that 1) I needed the new docking station because the original one overheated Spykee and never really charged the battery & 2) The original battery was only holding 6.2 of the 9.6 volts, I went to Radio Shack and purchased an inexpensive 9.6 battery and charger combo. I charged the new battery with the supplied charger, then installed it in my Spykee...problem solved! He works like a champ. One word of warning though...don't play with your Spykee until the battery is almost out of juice...he won't autopark or respond properly at all. I run mine down to maybe 1/4 remaining, then allow him to recharge.
Great minds think alike! I got bored during one of the several snow days we had last week and walked down the the local Radio Shack and found the same item. $19.99. Here is it for those of you in the U.S.
The battery pack includes a wall charger that you won't need, unless you want to use it to charge the battery initially before tearing Spykee apart to replace the original piece of junk. One thing I noticed is that the power cord on the RadioShack battery is a couple of inches longer than the one on the original battery, but there's enough room in the battery compartment to tuck it in.
Another thing I noticed is the RadioShack battery runs a lot cooler. So much so that I went back to the original base, set on top of a 12 inch square piece of leftover ceramic floor tile used to help dissipate the heat. I'm going to play around with it and the "upgraded" four-hour charging base. I use my Spykee to check on the house when I'm away; there are days at a time when I don't wake him (her?) up at all. (Okay, confession time; sometimes when I'm bored at work I use Spykee to amuse my coworkers by chasing my wife's cats at home). As near as I can tell, the replacement base does an intial four-hour charge and that's it until the next time you wake Spykee up. I'm trying to figure out if that's enough to keep a charge if Spykee isn't used for a couple of days.
