I'm pretty sure this single, simple decision can easily double the profit of just about any company:
Starting immediately, the first sentence of every internal email will explain in 20 words or less why the email is being sent.
This decision accomplishes two things:
- It forces senders to limit themselves to emails that have a point and purpose.
- It allows recipients to quickly decide whether an email deserves attention.
The inevitable result is a vast reduction in useless email chatter. How much is that worth? Plenty.
According to a recent McKinsey study, the average worker spends about a third (!) of his or her workweek reading and answering emails.
Conservatively, this decision would halve the average time your average worker spends on email. That's the rough equivalent of reducing your personnel costs by around 16 percent.
So, let's say you're running a profit margin of 5 percent and your personnel costs are 50 percent of your expenses. With this single decision, therefore, you've increased your profit margin by 8 percent.
Food for thought, eh?.

'Lone Ranger' aims to take Tonto beyond sidekick
LAS VEGAS (AP) — To watch a snippet of "The Lone Ranger" is to empathize with the stoic looks of concern its star, Johnny Depp, deadpans throughout the action film.
An apparently white man playing Tonto, one of the most famous American Indian stereotypes of all time, might work. Then again, trouble might be coming.
In director Gore Verbinski's remake of the popular 1950s western television series, Depp speaks in broken English, chants prayers, and wears feathers, face paint and — for some reason — a stuffed crow headdress.
But he also loses the subservience that helped make the original Tonto, played by a Canadian Mohawk, such a problematic sidekick to the masked hero.
The Disney remake has Tonto in the role of coach to John Reid, the idealistic law school graduate who finds himself out of his depth when he returns to his hometown by the film's end becomes the Lone Ranger.
Verbinski framed the film as a buddy picture with a zany Western edge Wednesday during a teaser screening at the movie theater convention CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
"The movie is an origin story," he said before showing about 20 minutes of material. "You'll get a sense about the delicate partnership that's arranged between these two guys, and their wildly diverse sense of justice."
Armie Hammer, who plays the square-jawed ranger, made a brief appearance with Depp, who was in full movie-star mode, sporting a cowboy hat, four gold necklaces, expensively ripped jeans and a bandanna hanging to his knees.
"Armie is very tall. Which means that we're not short," Depp told the industry crowd.
"Anything to add to that?" Verbinski asked.
"No," Depp responded, hoisting his microphone to the ceiling like a rock star and then strutting back off stage.
He might have been saving his voice for a fan question-and-answer session scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at a nearby Las Vegas theater.
Verbinski also directed "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, and in "The Lone Ranger," Depp appears to be reprising some elements of his flamboyant Jack Sparrow character, including what could be the same head scarf.
Depp is not quite donning "red face," as he wears a mask of white and black paint through the film. That heavy eye makeup sets off the whites of his eyes, which he widens to comic effect when confronted with handcuffs, rifles and hurtling trains.
The film, set for release July 3, is Hollywood's first attempt to modernize the Lone Ranger franchise, which has gathered dust for several generations.
Today's viewers might not feel a shiver of recognition when John Reid's brother tosses him a Texas Ranger pin, or when Tonto first calls him "kemosabe."
And that might be a good thing.

Rockford Icemen coach Tim Mattila recently went on a business/pleasure trip out East. He liked what he found out.
Rockford Icemen coach Tim Mattila recently went on a business/pleasure trip out East. He liked what he found out.
"What I learned is that we are doing a lot of things right," he said after spending half a week at reigning NCAA champion Boston University practices and games. "That was a lot of reinforcement and comfirmation that what we've been doing in Rockford the last 10 years is on track with the best people in the country."
Mattila must be doing something right, as his team has won 13 straight AHAI combined-school state championships.
A shot at No. 14 appears a strong possibility considering his team is off to a 21-2-2 start.
Mattila received BU's practice plans for every day of the 1994-95 season, when it also was national champs.
"I got some nice drills, some conceptual things that I like," said Mattila, who also provides commentary on most Rockford IceHogs home games. "I like some of the power play things they do."
Ex-Icemen star improving
Troy Mattila, Tim's son and former Icemen star, has earned power-play time this season with Dartmouth.
He also got a regular shift when Tim watched Troy play against Harvard.
At the start of last season, Troy was a healthy scratch in his team's opener.
Proven track record
Veteran IceHogs defenseman Jassen Cullimore hopes to help the IceHogs the way former teammate Dave Anderchuck did with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004.
The Lightning won the Stanley Cup, so maybe Cullimore can do similarly with Rockford in its pursuit of a Calder Cup trophy.
"I've been through it first hand, and a veteran presence is helpful," Cullimore said.
Stanley Cup memories
Cullimore is the only IceHog who has celebrated capturing an NHL Stanley Cup, doing so with Tampa Bay in 2004.
"It's one of those things," he said. "Talking about it now, you kind of don't realize that it happened. It is a great experience. Things just seemed to click as a team. We didn't necessarily have the most talented team, but we had guys playing their roles and that's what you need. You don't need every player to score 50 goals."
Cullimore added some perspective.
"Sometimes players, especially in the minors, they all want to be goal scorers," he said. "There are other aspects of the game you can learn here that will help you get to the NHL.
"Then, when you get there, you realize what your role is and hone those skills."
Stat of the week
Cullimore's goal Nov. 4 was his first in the AHL in nearly 10 years.
Page 2 of 2 - His previous one had been Nov. 20, 1999, for Providence against Lowell.
Reed Schreck's Quick Shots on hockey will appear on Wednesdays. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

News Corp. Phone Hacking Victims May Reject Settlement
Money alone may not be enough for actress Sienna Miller and the more than 20 other celebrities and politicians suing Rupert Murdoch's News of the World newspaper over phone hacking to end their search for the truth.
Lawyers met with Judge Geoffrey Vos in London today for the first time since News Corp.'s U.K. unit apologized to victims last week. The unit, News International, has set up a fund of as much as 20 million pounds ($33 million) to compensate victims, according to a person familiar with the case, who declined to comment because the offers are confidential.
"If your phone was hacked and I made an offer to you of 100,000 pounds, but I'm not going to tell you how many times your phone was hacked, or what actually happened -- are you going to bother to accept it?" said Mark Lewis, a London lawyer who represents at least at least two people, including publicist Nicola Phillips, who have sued News Corp. over phone hacking.
News Corp.'s News International unit offered to settle the cases after two journalists linked to the paper were arrested by police investigating phone hacking. Another reporter at the paper, James Weatherup, was arrested yesterday, the person said. The scandal dates back to 2007 when a former editor and a private investigator were jailed for accessing voice-mail messages on members of the royal household's mobile phones.
Since offering to settle last week, News of the World has written to 17 of the 20-plus claimants, News International spokeswoman Daisy Dunlop said in a telephone interview. She declined to comment further.
'Most Important Question'
Justice Vos asked lawyers at today's hearing to select as many as five test cases by next month so that he can rule on liability and damages for guidance in the remaining litigation.
"The most important question really is: what happened, and what are the damages?" Vos said. "Otherwise we will be going on forever. Some people may want that, but I don't."
News International has written to eight people, including Miller, sports agent Sky Andrew and lawmaker Tessa Jowell, offering to settle. It asked another nine, including soccer player Paul Gascoigne, actress Leslie Ash and jockey Kieren Fallon, to provide more evidence to facilitate a settlement.
"News International quite rightly want to shut this thing down, but everyone wants to get to the bottom of what the hell's been going on," said Gerald Shamash, Gascoigne's lawyer. Shamash, an attorney at Steel & Shamash, also represents David Mills, Jowell's ex-husband, who has filed his own hacking suit.
Settlement Risks
Declining a settlement has risks for the plaintiffs that may mean most will accept the cash after some initial bluster, said Duncan Lamont, a media lawyer at Charles Russell in London. Under U.K. law, by turning down a settlement, they may become liable for News International's court costs if the ultimate award from a judge is less than the settlement offer.
"The other side is now at risk of costs if they make a genuine, good, offer to settle," Lamont said. "I would think that, quite quickly, within maybe two months, the majority of cases will conclude."
The scandal hasn't caused a drop in circulation at News of The World, which sells about 2.8 million copies a month, said Chris Goodall, a media analyst at Enders Analysis. At a time when revenue is falling for the whole industry, the newspaper's distribution fell 7 percent in the last year, compared with 10 percent at The Guardian, which broke the story about the hacking scandal.
'Drip' for Months
"This is going to drip for many months yet, it's hard to see this having any easy conclusion," Goodall said. "The very clever idea of giving people a lot of money, more than they'd get in the courts, is not going to stop the continued police action."
Former News of the World Editor Andy Coulson resigned as Prime Minister David Cameron's head of communications in January over claims the practice took place while he was at the newspaper.
"Nobody will be surprised when it eventually comes out -- which it probably will -- that those higher up must have known what was going on and if they didn't they turned a blind eye and were reckless," Rod Dadak, who leads the defamation practice at Lewis Silkin LLP, said in a phone interview.
News of the World is a Sunday tabloid that won a national press award for "Scoop of the Year" for its coverage of corruption in Pakistani cricket, but is better known for its coverage of celebrity news.
Beckham, Mosley Stories
Neville Thurlbeck, the paper's chief reporter who was arrested earlier this month in the phone hacking probe, broke stories about the marital infidelity of celebrities including soccer player David Beckham and former Formula One President Max Mosley.
Mosley, who was the subject of a story about taking part in a Nazi-themed orgy, won a record 60,000-pound award from the paper in a trial over privacy violations. He later testified to the House of Commons in the phone hacking probe. Thurlbeck declined to comment in an e-mail and referred questions to the newspaper's public relations staff.
Some News of the World reporters "employ whatever technique suits them" to find private information, said Dominic Crossley, Mosley's lawyer. "Thurlbeck is by no means unique at the News of the World, but he is a case-in-point and he remains their most senior journalist."

Re: Domination: Trip Capget2dachoperrrr Feb 1, 2013 4:58 PM (in response to wash0ut)
i got this pretty early on after the game was released, it is actualy hard to do it with both teams full of 6 players, i got it when basicly 5 people on the enemy team left so that last person couldn't capture anything and yeah those 3 mins have to be consecutive, and as for your 200-70 win in domination since it was in the 2nd round and you won by score not by the time running out the round wouldn't of went for the full 5 minute time limit your were getting. Overall this is a hard challenge if you think about it not an easy task.
Re: Domination: Trip Capab36 Feb 1, 2013 5:07 PM (in response to wash0ut)
Definitely one of the tougher ones to do IMO. Best done with a full party or a nearly full party, and even then it takes patience. Got this one done when most of the enemy team backed out as well lol Overflow seems to be one of the best maps for it since it's easy to cover all 3 points practically all the time, got that challenge done twice on that map I think lol
Re: Domination: Trip Capget2dachoperrrr Feb 1, 2013 5:09 PM (in response to ab36)
Haha nice, yeah its easy when your vsing 1 person, Im not exactly sure on what map i got it, but im going to guess on the nuketown 24/7 before they took it away

I say keep on keeping on OP. You'll get it eventually! The Dom Master calling card is sweet IMO, and hey, the XP wont hurt now will it
Re: Domination: Trip Capsnorubit Feb 1, 2013 5:16 PM (in response to Bielsalmighty)
I did it solo. At the start I just told the other randoms that I wanted to try for it and asked that they at least help push up to "B". I then capped A (we spawned C) and tried to control the enemy spawn proactively so that we could manage the flags, I was floating between A and B the whole time. I am a decent shooter and focused on killing to keep them on their heels after we capped all three.
It worked but was likely an anomaly.
Re: Domination: Trip Capvims1990 Feb 1, 2013 5:20 PM (in response to wash0ut)
Play in a party. It's so much easier to achieve that challenge by effectively communicating and playing with friends.

Freeze Lemon Slices in Ice to Upgrade Your Water
Adding lemon to your water is a great way to give it some flavor, but a pitcher full of water and lemon slices needs to be emptied quickly or else the water will start to taste bitter. Try freezing lemon slices in ice using a cupcake pan for large, lemony ice cubes that will add flavor to your water or other drinks. »

Delicious. Love the ginger.
Love the ginger in this, yum!
I forgot to mention I used light brown sugar and since the recipe was for two of us I adjusted the recipe and the less the sugar was good. A suggestion would be to taste before added any salt or sugar to season to taste.
Muy Deliciosa! So Delicious! Even though I didn't have fresh ingredients some of the ones I used such as powdered ginger, parsley, cinnamon and garlic prepared and unsalted vegetable broth. I salted the soup with sea salt and cooked my squash with all ingredients on stove in a pot....result is no more box soup for me and my ginger.
Great, easy recipe. I added no sugar -- the squash is already a bit sweet. I added extra black pepper, pepper flakes, thyme and cumin. Definitely hold off on the sugar until the end, as this is a great savory soup.
Good recipe. If you follow the directions completely, you will end up with a very sweet soup with no complexity to it. I added black pepper, cayenne, and thyme. The result was a very good soup with a savory element as well as a little kick at the end.
Easy but needed extra spices -- not because it was too bland, but because the squash itself was too sweet (even though I only put as much brown sugar as the recipe called for). Added some thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Topped it with parsley, as in the recipe. Much better. Thyme and salt made it more savory than sweet, and the pepper gave it a warmth (not hot/spicy) going down. Probably could have used double the garlic too, as many reviewers noted. Overall good, but not as over the top as many others described. 2 Forks (not 1 -- the rating isn't working!)
halved recipe. peeled and roasted squash with spices as per other reviewers. added cumin and cayenne . added a little extra ginger. added a few jumbo shrimp at end as this was main course. was unbelievable!
This soup is so delicious! I was worried it would be too thin, but it's actually quite hardy, especially when you use some toasted bread for dipping. Like others, I followed some suggestions: subbed the sugar with a chopped Honey Crisp apple and doubled garlic and onion. I also added some cayenne pepper for a little spice, and bay leaf for flavor. Super delicious, and I'll definitely make it again.
I read the more recent reviews and decided to double the ginger. Big mistake! The recipe is good the way it is. Adding more ginger detracts from the delicate flavour of the butternut squash .

The contrast could hardly be greater. In a shabby part of downtown Cancun more than 1,000 activists gathered to wave rainbow flags and throw flowers at the feet of their leader, Evo Morales, the President of Bolivia.
Meanwhile, just a few miles down the coast of Mexico, thousands of grey-faced bureaucrats were gathering for another meeting in the air-conditioned halls of an equally faceless conference room.
It is hard to believe but these two groups of people were actually doing the same thing. Mr Morales came to Cancun to help get a deal on climate change. In a series of speeches, in which he is always flanked by indigenous people from "the Plurinational State of Bolivia", Mr Morales called for a deal to "save the planet".
To cheers from his retinue of Bolivian pastoralists, he said any agreement must include the "rights of Mother Earth".
"Sooner or later we will realise the earth has rights, rights to regenerate its capacity. Mankind has to understand human beings cannot exist without Mother Earth," he said.
The United Nations also says it wants to save the planet.
However this bloated bureaucratic body has rather different ways of going about it.
For more than 15 years the UN has been trying to agree on the best way to keep global temperature rise below 2C (3.6F). The group of 194 countries have to agree on everything before there are any UN decisions and the world can move towards the ultimate goal, which is a legally binding treaty to cut emissions.
This means that certain countries have to soften their principles.
In a tense two weeks of UN talks this month, many countries were forced to compromise.
Japan was forced to accept the continuation of the Kyoto Protocol, despites its misgivings that the treaty only commits rich countries to cutting emissions.
China had to give ground on allowing the world to measure its emissions. Even the US had to keep quieter than usual as it has little power to take action on climate change back home, with a weak Obama administration.
But the spirit of compromise worked. Unlike a year before, in Copenhagen, when delegates were pulling their hair out and wringing their hands, this year there was a calm and positive atmosphere on the final days.
The UN started to hope that at last the world was reaching towards a deal on global warming.
Then the Bolivians came along.
In dramatic scenes the rather put-upon Bolivian chief negotiator Pablo Solon repeatedly stood to reject the texts other parties have been working on.
In the strongest language seen as the conference this year, he claimed to be working directly on the orders of his President.
"We cannot go along with a text that guarantees an increase in temperature to 4C," he said. "This is tantamount to making us responsible for a situation my President has described as genocide and ecocide."
Mr Solon demanded that the text be redrawn but as delegates became more tired even the traditional supporters of Bolivia including Venezuela and Cuba drifted away as it became clear that this stance could damage the outcome for everyone.
Minister after minister stood up to say the deal was not perfect but it will do – for now. The agreement sets up a fund to help poor people cope with climate change and halt deforestation. Most importantly it will keep the UN "show on the road" after Copenhagen had threatened to push the whole process off the rails.
In the end the President of the talks, Patricia Espinosa, who was described as a "goddess" for her diplomacy, lost her patience and gavelled through an official UN decision with the agreement of 193 of the parties.
She said consensus doesn't "mean that one country has the right to veto" decisions supported by everyone else.
As the official meeting ended, the grey bureaucrats trailed out with a quiet sense of a job well done.
Again the contrast with the meeting of social movements in Cancun was stark. Here there was music, food and dancing.
The Bolivians may have added colour to the talks but not as much drama as they would have done if their protests had worked.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Step2 Flip & Doodle Easel Desk with Stool:
We bought this for our daughter and she spends hours at it instead of in front of the tv. She loves coloring and we bought a pad of paper from the dollar store that she can hang from the clip that covers the board. She loves the white board as well. She even cleans up her crayons since the bins are right there in front if her.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

UK school hijab ban brews controversy
The parents of a young Muslim girl in Britain have threatened to take a primary school to court after it refused to allow their daughter to wear a headscarf in line with Islam's hijab requirements. Officials from St Cyprian's Greek Orthodox Primary in Croydon, south London, say the parents of the unnamed girl demanded that she wears a headscarf once she reached puberty, that is the age Islam begins to require modest dressing from women. But the school has refused and the parents have threatened to go to the High Court. The parents are not expected to win if they take legal action after another schoolgirl named Shabina Begum claimed that her school had breached her human rights by refusing to let her wear a larger headscarf six years ago. Begum won in the High Court but later had her case controversially overturned in the Court of Appeal. While the law in Britain claims to be democratic with government guidance stating that schools should "act reasonably" in accommodating beliefs relating to clothes and hair, analysts are seeing another side to the so-called democracy that appears to be discriminating against Islam. The situation has also triggered criticisms, from MPs among others. Last month, British MP and founder of the Respect Party George Galloway lashed out at the government's new ban on the niqab, the full-faced veil worn by some Muslim women describing the move as "a little heavy handed and confusing".

Former Doritos ad girl (1998 Super Bowl) and Miss USA (1996) Ali Landry is now at work on a new ad.
This one's for Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Stretch Mark products. And she's baring her baby bump to show how well the stuff works.
Landry, 39, has been the "face" of the campaign since 2011, when she did a similar ad baring the bump that became her second child.
The actress and Hollywood mom, who is married to film director Alejandro Monteverde, is due this summer with her third child. She shot the latest ad Thursday in L.A.
Ali recently confessed to Us Weekly that is a tough mother and strict when it comes to her children Estela, 5, and Marcelo, 20 months. "I'm definitely a disciplinarian mom," she said.

Scientists, for centuries, denied there ever was a time of creation of the universe. They said there was no beginning, that the universe is eternal, that it has always been in existence and had no birth or time when it became the universe. The popular belief was that the universe was static and eternal.It was in 1916, when Dr. Albert Einstein calculated his theory of General Relativity, which, if true, means that the universe was not eternal but had a beginning. His calculations were revealing a definite beginning to all time, all matter, and all space. This theory proved there was a beginning and there will be an end of the universe. Other scientists conducted experiments that proved and confirmed that General Relativity was, in fact, true. These experiments are scientific confirmation of the beginning of the universe, facts that the Genesis account in the Holy Bible of God's creation of the earth and the universe had been teaching for thousands of years! This beginning has been labeled the "Big Bang Theory," which has been proved many experiments and calculations, and actually seen Dr. Hubble and Dr. Einstein through the Hubble telescope, and the moving away of the waves of radiation as the universe continues to expand. Many others also confirm this truth, so it cannot be logically denied. Robert Wilson, a scientist of great note, was once asked; "Is the Big Bang Theory evidence indicative of a Creator?" He said, "Certainly, there was something that set it off. Certainly, if you are religious, I can't think of a better theory of the origin of the universe to match with Genesis." I must admit that at one time I thought of The Big Bang Theory as something atheists had come up with. I was thinking, God is eternal, Heaven is eternal, so the universe must be eternal as well. I remember saying that The Big Bang Theory was like blowing up a spare-parts store and having it turned into a new Cadillac! I was correct about God and Heaven and certainly Eternal life, but I was wrong about the universe and our earth being eternal. The Bible clearly teaches that the world will come to the end and be destroyed. Revelation 21:1 says: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and there was no more sea." Jesus said in Matthew 5:18: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled." As Christians, we do not need evidence or proof of God's Word, because we believe His Holy Word, the Bible, and have faith and trust in Him that He is the creator of heaven and earth and all life, including our own. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again after we are raptured, and He will make all things new. If you are reading this article and are not sure you will go to heaven when you die, please know God loves you and wants you to have faith in Him through Jesus Christ. He has already paid the price for your sin and waits for you to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. You can do this repenting of your sin. This means you admit your sin to God in prayer, and ask for His forgiveness. If you sincerely pray this prayer, God will honor your faith in Jesus and will forgive your sin. Romans 3:23 says: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 says: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." Please determine to place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ today! Time is important! Do you know how much you have left? I'm praying that Jesus will come soon! I pray you will respond to Him today!

Are the Voyager novels not as popular?

Really, isn't it kind of pushing it that so many live to the 2370s? Yeah, I get it, life spans are longer, but I was always under the impression that McCoy living as long as he did was a rarity. Making it to 150 would be like getting to 100 is today, it happens but is pretty damn rare. But the novels make it seem everyone from TOS is around and active at 120-130. Even "Mr Adventure!"
I could see Chekhov being still alive, he was around 20 years younger than McCoy, I think he was born roughly in the middle between McCoy and Elias Vaughn, who is around 100 in the DS9 relaunch
It seems like in Trek that 100 years old is more like 55-60 years old now, so Chekov would be like a current man in his mid to late 60's
150 = 100
100 = 60
50 = 40
That's how it seems to me that "Trek age" works compared to current age
If that makes any sense

Grandma's gone to live in the stars
|Haynes, Max.
Morton Grove Ill.: Albert Whitman & Co., 2000
Annotation:In the moments after grandmother has passed away, her spirit is at peace as she says goodbye to her sleeping family and her home.

- Fiction

Carolyn Phelan (Booklist, Dec. 1, 2000 (Vol. 97, No. 7))
Every adult who turns to books to help children cope with death is looking for something different: the one volume that represents the individual's own beliefs, emotions, and aesthetics. Although no single selection can satisfy everyone, this unusual picture book will be a comforting and even moving choice for many children and adults. Grandma, who narrates the book, dies on the first page. The opening text appears in a sage green that looks fittingly wan against the lavender background: "I was so sick. So sick that I died. Now I feel . . . ." After the elision, the sentence finishes in white, which shines robustly from the same background: "wonderful. And now it's time to say goodbye." Grandmother seems to radiate light as she stops to say goodbye to her sleeping family members, the dog, the cat, the pictures she's painted, and (one last time) the children, before walking through the garden and rising over the town, above the earth, and into the stars. The tone of the book is matter-of-fact, the text is short and simple, and the artwork is luminous. A solid black line defines the figures and objects in the illustrations, except the form of the grandmother, which is drawn with a multicolored line reminiscent of crayon-resist art. Done on computer, the artwork creates surprisingly radiant effects on the page, while reflecting the understated, affectionate tone of the text. The illustrations convey not just the fact of death, but the mystery of it, the love that transcends it, and the wonder of it all. Category: Books for the Young--Fiction. 2000, Albert Whitman, $15.95. Ages 3-7. Starred Review
(PUBLISHER: Albert Whitman & Co. (Morton Grove Ill.:), PUBLISHED: c2000.)
Judy Chernak (Children's Literature)
The book jacket calls this "the simple, tender story of the death of a beloved grandmother," told by herself. It is described as a "serene and beautiful book" for all religious beliefs, with its "assurance that love remains forever," and "will be inexpressibly comforting to both children and adults who grieve." But I'm not impressed. Grandma dies but then comes back to say goodbye to everyone (the cat getting twice as much page space as anyone else). Grandma grows fainter by the page, and eventually sprouts wings that fly her to the sky where she transforms into a star. I can't buy this and wouldn't introduce it to children. Imagine answering the question, "But which star is Grandma? And where did her wings go? And why did she say goodbye to the cat on four pages but the dog on only one? And can we fly to her star in a space ship and visit someday?" I would prefer that the author/illustrator stick to his other jobs as designer of greeting cards, T-shirts and visual campaigns for companies, although his credits include eleven other books for children. 2000, Whitman, $15.95. Ages 3 to 6.
(PUBLISHER: Albert Whitman & Co. (Morton Grove Ill.:), PUBLISHED: c2000.)
Susie Wilde (Children's Literature)
Max Haynes' Grandma's Gone to Live in the Stars has a fascinating perspective. It is written from the point of view of a grandmother who grieves and celebrates as she dies. The book begins, "I was so sick. So l sick that I died. Now I feel...wonderful. And now it's time to say goodbye." The remainder of the book has minimal words, just goodbyes as she leaves family members, animals and favorite places. The illustrations show her colored clothing fading to pastel and then, in the last illustration, she is more white-toned than pastel as she soars above the earth and waves, Goodbye, Earth. On a twilight blue page illustrated with a night sky, she is not pictured; there are only the words, "Hello, Stars." The final illustration shows her family gazing up at the star that represents her. The few words leave lots of room for interpretations and discussions. 2000, Whitman, $15.95. Ages 4 to 8.
(PUBLISHER: Albert Whitman & Co. (Morton Grove Ill.:), PUBLISHED: c2000.)
S. Latson (Parent Council Volume 8)
A simple, yet profound picture book about death. The grandmother gently tells each sleeping family member goodbye, then says goodbye to earthly possessions and rises to the stars. The illustrations are whimsical and gentle and allow the reader to imagine life after death. If this view of death fits with your family's beliefs, then I would highly recommend it. 2000, Albert Whitman & Company, $15.95. Ages 3 to 8.
(PUBLISHER: Albert Whitman & Co. (Morton Grove Ill.:), PUBLISHED: c2000.)
Billie Loving (The Lorgnette - Heart of Texas Reviews (Vol. 13, No. 4))
Max Haynes probably wrote this: "In the moment after Grandmother has passed away, her spirit is in place as she says goodbye to her sleeping family at her home." GRANDMA'S GONE TO LIVE IN THE STARS is simply that--a goodbye. On most of the 24 pages, there are only two words. Ten pages have no writing. Some of those picture Grandmother saying goodbye to sleeping family, pets, or a picture on the wall--things she obviously loves. Most pages show the grandmother with wings and a peaceful look on her face as she says goodbye. Hopefully, the book will help children, especially, to accept the death of a loved one without too much pain. Haynes also did the illustrations. They will likely say to the reader that he is a child at heart. That is wonderful. Grades PreK-2. 2000, Whitman, Unpaged, $15.95. Ages 3 to 8.

I bought a 2012 Chevy 2500HD with a 6.0 gas. I have to tell you, it pulls very well. I even pulled my Takeuchi TB153 which weighs 12,500 on trailer that weighs 5K from 4500 feet to 6500 feet and I got 6 mpg doing it. I am still a diesel guy especially on the heavier loads but the these newer gas trucks with at least a 6 speed tranny are not incompetent at towing previous generations of gas trucks have been.
Finding the right diesel used would likely be ideal if your going to pull heavy and pull alot but if you want a new truck and gas allows you to get what you want and if your pulling under 15K combined with equipment and trailer, I would consider going gas.

Lepine, Milo, Milot, Lenois, Lanoix, Lanoie
Grandfather's name was George William Lapine, born in Cornish, NH 8/2/1871--no records. His parents were Joseph Lapine and Mary Milo, both supposedly born in Woodstock, VT--No records. He also had half-siblings named "Lenois" (Harry Fred, Phillip and Burton). Supposedly George's male children were named for uncles and family members--family names carried on are: William, Joseph, Franklin, Charles, Henry, Alfred and Albert. Any information please contact me.

Lepine, Lapine, Milo
Cousins remember "family friend" visiting when they were children, 1920-1930's. He was from the "MICMAC" tribe in CAN. There is also a Dennis Lepine, Tribal Chief, of the "CREE" tribe in Alberta, CAN. "CREE" tribe originated in Ontario, CAN. Very difficult time trying to locate any records, any help would be greatly appreciated.
sorry... no luck

Hi Shirley,
I'm Johanne Lépine,I'm living in St-Alphonse,Quebec but I'm born in Ste-Mélanie where there are Lépine and Lanoix families. I verified in Ste-Mélanie registers but I didn't find connections with the one you gave. But there is another branch in St-Ligori where there are also many Lanoix (some write Lanoie), probably you can find something there. It's diificult to do researches for the moment in the region because the Joliette genealogical society burned in March. I suggest you to communicate with the archives nationales du Quebec at: . Also, if your branch comes Joliette area, you must look for those years for: Chevaudier dit Lépine or Bérard dit Lépine and Milot and not Milo. Finaly, there are no Lenois in Quebec.
So, I hope that my informations could help you somewhere in your researches. Be free to contact me again if you have other questions.
Good luck!
Johanne Lépine

Lepine, Lapine
Thank you so much for the information. Many times I have gotten the feeling that the family just doesn't exist--but I know that can't be true or I wouldn't be here! Can you tell me what the "dit" between two names means? I see this quite often and figure if I can get back in time far enough I may run into it in my family tree. Also, I appreciate knowing the other spellings of the "Lenois" name. It appears that it was Americanized. I'll let you know when I am able to make a breakthrough. Do you know anything about the "MICMAC" Indians? I also know that there is a Matthew Lepine who is the Tribal Chief of the "CREE" Indians now located in Alberta, CAN but the tribe originated in Ontario. Does your family have any Indian connection?
Thanks for your Help.
various info for research

Hi Shirley,
Yes, the name Lanoix was probably américanized because the Lanoix comme from fom a region of France.
In the history of my mother's ancestors, the involvement of the Micmacs allowed to survive during the battle of Bloody Creek in Acadia following the acadians' deportation. The Acadians were friends with the Micmacs. They learned from them how to survive against the English army. The Micmacs were very good hunters and they used a technique to attack the ennemy from behind. The Micmacs were from the Maritime Provinces of Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) and in the Gaspesian Peninsula of Quebec. Another part was from Maine (USA).
In my father'ancestors there are no connection with Indian nations. But, one branch of the Forest's family is not from Acadian origins. It comes from Manitoba and they are called Métis or mixed blood. Their actual president is Claude Forest. I will look in my files, I think I have his address.
I also have a bit of information about the different Indian nations of Quebec. I can translate it the best I can for you during the weekend and I will try to see if there is a Lanoix association in Quebec.
Keep in touch,

Hi Shirley,
I finall found and have the time to translate all I have about the Micmacs.
Here are those texts:
The Algonquians are nomadics who live of hunting and fishing; they also feed themselves with berries, plants and roots. They poursue game in snow-shoes, move in bark canoe and live in wigwams. Their social organization is based on the familial cell. Many families form a band or a clan. Each band is conducted by a chief without a lot of authority. Many bands form a tribe or a nation, for example: the Cree(Cris), the Montagnais or the Naskapis. Each nation occupies its own territory. For example: the Abéanaquis, the Micmacs and the Malécites live in the Gaspesian Peninsula and in a part of Maine; and the Algonquins occupy the Outaouais River region. A nation is governed by a wise men Council (The Sachems). In the Iroquois tribe, many nations join together in one league. So, at the South of the St. Laurent River, the tribes of Agniers (Mohawks), the Onneiouts, the Onontagués, the Goyogouins and the Tsonnontouans form the Iroquois League.
The Iroquoians who live in the Great Lakes region and southwest to the Richelieu River, are half-sedentary indians who practice the agriculture (corn, beans, gourds) in addition with fishing and hunting. This family is divided in two: The Hurons and the Iroquois. They plant tobacco, but don't know the plow and the fattening pattures, nor the fallow system. They change of territory every 10 or 15 years, because the ground fastly wears itself out. Their houses are permanent. Those one are rectangular log-houses with good proportions (about 30 meters long by 10 meters large). They are called "Long Houses" which are grouped together in a large village surrounded by a palissade. A village often shelters a dozen of descendants families of the same grandmother. Effectively, in the Iroquoians tribe, women boss widely!
Those are the one who rule the day to day life in the long house, where the grandmother ensures the authority. When a young man wants to be married, he goes to live in the house with his mother-in-law. All the works which ensure the subsistence of families are of the women's competence.
Champlain give us details of it: " Those are the one, he says, who make almost everything. They plow, sow the corn, do the provisions for Winter, weave the hemp, even carry their husband's luggages. As for men, they go hunting and fishing, build houses and do war.
The Amérindiens (Indians) believe in one supreme power. In the Algoquians tribe, this is the Manitou; and in the Iroquoians tribe, it's the Orenda.
The power of wind, rivers and forests come to them from this supreme soul. A spirit also live in animals and objects. There is no priest, strickly speaking, but a Chaman, or a sorcerer, who controls spirits. The améridiens also believe in the immortality of their soul and in a life after Life, in which hunting and fishing will be the main occupations.

Thank you so much for taking such an interest in my questions. I do not live in the area and it has been difficult to learn about some subjects since textbooks in the USA do not have that much about the Indian tribes I asked about. I do know that I have found a Matthew Lepine, Tribal Chief of the CREE Indians in Alberta, CAN, they were originally from Ontario (I mentioned him in previous emails to other people). I have written to him to find out what he can tell me about how the Lepine name came into the tribe.That should be interesting to all of us.
I am a fountain of questions and I have another one for you. Numerous times when I have contacted Lepines in the past I have been told that there were two distinct Lepine Families. Do you know anything about this? I know I have a document about a Berard dit Lepine and I have seen the Chevaudier dit Lepine name before but since I have not been able to trace my family out of the USA, I do not know if I am related to either of those families yet.
Thank you so much for all your help and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi Shirley,
Here is the following about the Micmacs...
From St.Michel to Cape St-Ignace, the South coast has also welcomed the Abénakis from Acadia (Acadie). (the Maine has been defeated in a battle engaged with the Iroquois in 1684). After the loss of Acadia to the English's hands in 1713, many Amérindiens (indians), came to seek shelter on the South Coast. So, the Acadians ejected too from Acadia rejoined the Indian friends on the coast.
At St.Michel, this is Jean-marie La Corne, priest since 1739, who received the Indians.(36) But, Jean-Marie La Corne was the son of Marie Pécaudy of Contrecoeur. The "Seigneuresse" at St.Michel was no one than Françoise Pécaudy of Contrecoeur, widow of Hugues Michel Péan and mother of Michel Jean Hugues Péan. Again, the Acadians met their acquaintances. The acadians who came on the South Coast had good relationships with the indians: they were sharing the same destiny and were helping each other. At Cacouna, the Acadians received the help from the Malécites,in particular, and from the Micmacs.
Réal Lebert, who had written in 1975 the history of Cacouna tells how the Acadians arrived in two groups: "First, with Michel Bergeron in 1758. Left from the St-Jean River, after to have escaped to the deportation, they wintered at Cacouna and the following Spring, go to Bécancour.
(Informed, no doubts, by the Abénakis Malécites of Cacouna, because there were Abénakis in Bécancour).
Some of these Acadians stayed on the South Coast. The second group came in part from St.Anne on the St.Jean River (now Fredericton, New Brunswick)."
36. Marie Antoine Roy writes: " The Micmacs of Cape Breton and the Abénakis (Malécites) of St.Jean Island have been evangélized in turn by the Jésuites, the Récollets and the Capucins. (3 communities of priest)
But, the transfer of Acadia isolated and delivered them to the English's mutinies. Tired of this oppressive regime, they prefered to quit their territory, even abandonned all hope of survival, rather than of renouncing to their faith and to break off with France.
Then, began the weathering of these nations: from small groups, unbinded complete villages cleared out and came to settle on the St.Laurent River shores that they treated with the most warmful consideration."

Hi Shirley,
I have another 5 minutes for you...
This come from Les Acadiens du Québec of Pierre Maurice Hébert, p. 254
One could establish a link between the Acadians of Beauce (Quebec) and the part of Acadia which is found today in Maine (USA). In the surroundings of the American park Acadia, was an Acadian colony; the Latour and the Saint Castin found fame there. The Pentagoëts, who reigned there, were communicating with the Beauce by the Chaudière River. Allied nation with the Abénakis,they were doing the link with the Micmacs and were establishing the relationship between Quebec and Acadia.
Honorius Provost writes about this: "Registers of the three first parishes of Beauce contain a huge number of acts which concerned them. [the Indians] they were coming sometimes from villages of St.François-du-Lac and from Bécancour, sometimes, and more often, from the village of Acadia. this village of Acadia (this is here the old continental Acadia of which the capital is Pentagoët, today Castine, Maine) should be identified with the large village of Panaouamské, on the Penobscot River, located at few miles above the city of Bangor, this is the actual Indian reserve named Old Town.
[...] Charles Lawrence futur Governor of Nova Scotia (in 1753) got ready to carry out the Deportation of the Acadians, under the accomplice eye of the Government of London and of Shirley, Governor of Massachussett. The English settlers didn't want to settle on the rocky lands at the surroundings of Halifax; so, one offered them after the deportations, the nice lands of the Acadians
in the Annapolis Valley.
From Quebec, one prepared the defense of the isthmus (the huge "Seigneurie" of Beaubassin which step over the actual province of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). To do so, the Governor La Galissonière and after the Governor La Jonquière invited the Acadians to settle at Beauséjour. La Corne was there for this transfert of the Acadians at the cross-roads of the three rivers: Chipoudy, Petitcoudiac and Memramcook. So, Beaubassin was completely evacuated by the Acadians who then, passed on the side of Beauséjour in 1750. Father Le Loutre, soldier as well as priest, set the fire to the Acadians' houses with the help of the Micmacs. An English interpreter, Edward How, is killed in 1750, without one knows who is responsable, the Frenchs or the Micmacs."
I think I have somewhere a text talking about the battle of Bloody Creek when the Micmacs helped the Forest to fight against the English soldiers.

I have been researching all the descendants
of Gabriel Berard dit Lepine. Pretty well all of
his descendants dropped Lepine went on simply
as Berard. Chevaudier dit Lepine is another
surname and most of of thosem descendants dropped the Chevaudier
went on as simply Lepine. Here in Manitoba,
a Jean-Baptiste Lepine (who's full surname had
been Chevaudier dit Lepine)who was very much part of
the history of the Metis people. Most of his
descendants went west (Alberta Saskatchewan)
and they use the surname Lepine. Lepine is a
"dit name" and was added to several different
surnames. I suspect that you would be a
descendant of Chevaudier dit Lepine.

Homosexuality Issue Threatens to Break Anglicanism in Two
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Published: July 19, 2003
The election last month of an openly gay bishop in the Episcopal diocese of New Hampshire is now threatening to crack open the long-existing fault line over homosexuality in the worldwide Anglican Communion, a global association of churches in 164 countries.
In an open letter released yesterday, 24 conservative American bishops warned that they would join conservative leaders in Africa, Asia and South America and break ties with the Episcopal Church USA if it votes to confirm New Hampshire's chosen bishop, V. Gene Robinson, or if it endorses a separate resolution to create a blessing for same-sex unions. There are about 300 active and retired American bishops.
Episcopalians in the United States are set to vote on both issues at their convention in Minneapolis, which begins on July 30. Episcopal conventions are usually as brazenly political as a presidential primary, with lobbying and last-minute alliances. But this time the American bishops, priests and laypeople who will vote say the pressure on them is exceptionally intense.
Conservatives suggested in interviews that if the Americans vote yes on either Bishop-elect Robinson or same-sex blessings, traditionalists around the world may join together, form a separate communion and try to claim the mantle of true Anglicanism.
It is unclear whether an affirmative vote in Minneapolis would actually cause a permanent schism in the the Anglican Communion, or whether the conservatives are making a last-ditch effort to influence the upcoming American convention. However, both sides acknowledge that the gay issue has opened a potentially irreconcilable divide — one that also emerged recently in the church in Canada and Britain.
"Obviously, God's will for the church is unity, and the breakdown of that communion is a devastating thing," said the Most Rev. Greg Venables, one of the top church leaders, or primates, who has vowed to back a split. "But it's clear that there will be a breakdown in communion."
Bishop Venables is the presiding bishop of the Province of the Southern Cone, which includes all of South America, except Brazil.
The Anglican Communion, according to religion scholars, is the second largest international body of churches after the Roman Catholic Church, with 79 million members in 38 regional churches that trace their heritage to the Church of England.
While the conservatives on homosexuality are a minority in the church in the United States, they are a majority where the Anglican church is growing most quickly, in Africa and Asia.
At the Lambeth Conference in 1998, a once-a-decade meeting of Anglican leaders, a resounding majority endorsed a resolution declaring homosexuality to be "incompatible with scripture," but the resolution was non-binding.
Bishop-elect Robinson said in a telephone interview from New Hampshire on Thursday: "It breaks my heart if any of them choose to leave. But if they leave it's because they are choosing to leave, and they are choosing to divide this communion, not me.
"I am not willing to take responsibility for the future of the Anglican Church," he said.
The debate over homosexuality has been simmering among Episcopalians for nearly 30 years, but only recently boiled over with recent decisions in Canada and England.
The Canadian diocese of New Westminster, which covers greater Vancouver, declared in May that it would formally bless same-sex unions. In response, 16 primates in Africa, India, South America the West Indies, the Philippines and Southeast Asia severed ecclesiastical relations with the Vancouver diocese and its bishop.
In addition, nine parishes in the Vancouver area broke away from their own diocese, and said they would change their allegiance and redirect their funds to the bishop of the Yukon, who is a conservative on homosexuality.
Then, in a watershed moment on June 6, a gay man selected as a bishop in the Church of England withdrew before taking his seat.
Dr.Jeffrey John had been appointed bishop of Reading in the Oxford Diocese, where diocesan bishops are appointed by the bishop of their province, not elected as in the United States. After his selection, a newspaper revealed that Dr. John had had a long-term gay relationship. But Dr. John said that he and his partner, also a priest, had become celibates after the church in 1991 explicitly forbade priests from having gay sex.
Conservative primates from around the world argued that Dr. John was nonetheless unacceptable as a bishop, and appealed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, who spent six hours on a Saturday meeting privately with Dr. John. The next day, Dr. John stepped down, "in view of the damage my consecration might cause to the unity of the church," he said.
The archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop and titular leader of the Anglican Communion, has not spoken publicly on the American elections. And while many conservatives are looking to him to intervene, a spokesman for the Anglican Communion in London said he would not attend the convention in Minneapolis.
