I'd be interested too, Frank.....As it happens I married an evacuee girl from our village (51 years ago) who never returned to her mother (father deceased) in London after the war ended.
Incidentally, this was because she formed such a strong bond with her adoptive parents (she was only three when taken in) and wouldn't be parted from them....something about 'Goodnight Mister Tom' about her story.
My great uncle had an allotment during the war and kept the family in fresh fruit and veg the whole time. I inhereted all his tools and still use them. My fork handle broke and still trying to find a replacement not easy . We dont know how lucky we are.
I will break this up as it is a long story.
!939, the phony war so it was said but in October nine German planes attacked Rosyth two of them were shot down by 602 and 603 Squadrons of the RAF, the very first attack on Britain, even with censorship news flashed round the country like a wildfire and our parents started to really worry.
That Christmas I got a brand new Hercules bike £4/19/6 as did a lot of the kids around the green Parents having gone through the first war knew it would not be over by Christmas so gave us kids a last spree.In the early spring the Germans broke out, the second evacuation happened the first one at the beginning of the war had reversed as the kids went back home, it was mainly in the South so we missed it. Schools had been closed on the declaration but opened again half the kids going mornings and half afternoon changing each week until shelters were built. If a bomb hit the school only half the village kids would die.Dad was driving round the country side delivering steam coal as most factories in the area had steam boilers, he had a newish truck a German Opel bought off a Japanese business man from Middlesbrough in 1938, not the best deal of the century although he was not the only one. It was better built bigger engine and was plated for 5 cubic metres an extra ton most British trucks were 4 cm. And so a total life change began.
Part 2. One Saturday morning in early spring Mother got my sister and I ready said we were going away, as we often went off in the car or the truck we were not worried and so we arrived at Deighton a single row of houses one side of the road farms at each end a Church and a Manse on the other side of the road, there was a field between the road and the house full of cows which we crossed to one of the cottages.We were introduced to Aunty Rose Waller (half the village were Wallers and half Thompson's) who showed us our rooms, two bedrooms and an attic room nice and cosy, we had tea and cake some of the relatives came in and as I got bored went out to have a look around. A little while later I heard an engine start up I knew that engine and started to run, past the cottage over the field and onto the road just as the truck disappeared round the S bend at the end of the village. I continued running and remember the terror of my parents having driven off leaving me with strangers in a strange place. I ran towards Appleton Wiske three miles away and collapsed into a bramble patch breathless and with a stitch, sobbing, I was cut and scratched on the arms and legs but did not notice, I was totally devastatedAunt Rose finally caught up with me and we both cried, she had only been married a few months and her husband had gone in the Army which was why she had wanted us and of course my mother was paying as well. Come on let us get those scrapes seen to and we slowly walked back, I do not think my life ever again reached such a low ebb.So started our life in Deighton, abandoned so we thought although loved by Rose and fussed over, all I saw was being torn away from all I knew and dumped in a place without running water, drinking water came from a well washing water out of the barrels under the roof down-comers and oil lamps instead of our gas and electric lamps.The village was all working farms though each cottage had a garden complete with outside soil closet which all ended up on the garden after it progressed through the midden. One of the farms had one child a daughter about three years older than me and curiosity got us talking, her Dad realised I had farming and animal background so told me if I helped he would give me pocket money, I spent all my spare time with him and the animals I suppose making it easier to come to terms with being abandoned. Rose told us she would be taking us to school on the Monday, that did not make me any happier.
More. Come Monday complete with school satchels lunch box and a bottle of water Rose walked to the corner where the road came from Welbury a village that had the main North South rail line running through it. A bus arrived full of kids all eyeing my sister and I, we were strangers and spoke funny, Teesside was only a few miles away but we did have different ways of saying things, a couple more pick-ups and into Brompton our new school, I had to sit a test to see where I was and then told two mornings I would be going on with the bus to Northallerton Grammar school to take prep Latin and woodwork?? they discovered I was well up in math so it was the top class of the juniors.And then it started, the pushing knocking being tripped and laughed at, I somehow remained calm though hurt until one day at play I heard my sister scream, one of the bigger lads had shoved her in the back and at the same time pulled her very long hair, he never knew what hit him, he was on the floor being well and truly belted when a strong pair of hands pulled me off, the Teacher asked what it was all about and got his side but some of the other kids told it as it was. Next morning as I got off the bus he was there with his Dad but so was the Teacher. The lads Father a farmer looked at me turned and said you are bigger than him and you let him do that to you then belted him round the ear for being soft. At least attitudes changed.Mum and Dad came to see us later, dad said Mum cried all the way home, so I gradually forgave them and they brought my bike.We went through Hay-making Harvesting and potato picking, gathered fruit from the hedgerows and the trees along the roadside which was bottled made into jam or became pies, the whole village joined in everything. I would harness up the pony and trap then go to the railway depot in Welbury to bring back the parcels for the village. Laura kissed me at any opportunity making me blush but then some soldiers came to Brompton training to ride bikes, and she went gooy over them, they were across the road from the school and much to our surprise a lot of them could not ride. We would watch as they got the order to mount then pedal and always someone would come wavering across the road, bike into the ditch and the soldier doing a nose dive into our school yard lower than the road, we would say another one dropped in and I would rush to pick up his rifle as he sorted himself out. I had been warned that I would be going to the Northallerton school but an influx of evacuees from Wear side and Tyne side after they were bombed put paid to that, the whole town was bulging with kids and the schools crammed so my mother took me home leaving my Sister with Rose. A rush of buying new uniforms and kit and into Secondary school also back to the war, Hitler decided he wanted rid of me, it got personal but another story.Deighton was not where I wanted to be, I was missing out on the fun?? and my pals, kids can adapt to most things although the horror of thinking we had been abandoned never really went away. I passed through the village a couple of times showing my wife where I had once lived for a short while but never stopped until last year. Parking the car and walking down the row of houses talking to people mainly retired, I found not one of the original villagers were left, I was asked into the cottage I had lived in now with all mod cons and felt sad, I know the visit laid the ghosts and also know I will never go back there. My Sons farm is just three miles away from Deighton strange how things recur.
Frank, that was fantastic, so poignant. people didn't realise how affected children could be by such changes in those days. Have you ever thought about writing a book or perhaps you have already done so. Most children today don't know they are born, they have every advantage and some of them just waste their time and chances, not all I hasten to add.
Thanks for sharing those memories with us, I feel quite emotional,
Chris, it was all bottled up for many years, other events took over and my own children were living in another world we just never spoke of it and so it went up to 2001 when the BBC asked for stories my Daughter asked me to write a couple. I made them funny although the hurt was there and it gathered pace until the BBC sent a crew up and we did a day of filming for the wars end anniversary. My Daughter then got me on Radio and more stories. I have written and filed a lot away for them to find when the last bugle sounds, I do not think they are interesting enough for a book.The series of War time Farm brings back so many memories of those years that are burned into the brain, I go shopping and come back without the bread or milk but you never forget those years.
Frank, you talk about helping with a film for the BBC.To see and hear a person describing events makes their story more vivid and emotional, than simply reading a written account.Some local history groups are actually very interested in capturing these sorts of memories, especially as they might relate to a local area. And the best way to do this is by filming them on a camcorder.It isn't difficult to take a person to the scene, and get them to talk about things, and film everything they say. So all their memories are kept, in the most authentic and realistic way.
Gary, indeed it is, if the person wishes to revisit the scene. The BBC was a full film crew and filmed a happy time the end of the war, it all came easy.The Radio was in a studio telling about the happier times and the funny times plus the general feeling of the people, I said I have driven through a couple of times but last year stopped. It all looked much as it was although sadly there was no one left of the people I knew. There were of course happy memories of Aunt Rose a wonderful lady who's husband died in the war, of the farm work and festivals still held war or no, those first dread days of being abandoned, or feeling that way probably eased a little with the telling but I know I will not go back.I do a lot of work for our local history with the Public Library much of it there for all to read also correct dates and timings on some pictures even modern ones can be way out, I keep busy Gary.
Dear Frank - you have brought genuine tears to my eyes. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and problems you had to face. And then there are some, of an unforgiving disposition, who have, in the past (old Beeb days), railed against any mention of the war. Shame on them - and hats off to you for being so stoic and refusing to be cowed!
Your memories ought to be in a book. You ought to flesh out the stories that you have told us (for which I am grateful). When "the last bugle sounds" the memories will be filtered through other people's interpretations. We need people like you to make it real for us.
I was born in 1949 so the war was close, but very much second hand. Your experiences are so poignant. I cannot begin to imagine the feelings of being abandoned - and at the same time, my heart goes out to your parents who were trying to do the best for you, and were probably in pieces as they drove away.
War is more than battles and bravery at the front. It affects so many in so many different ways. We would all do well to be reminded of that from time to time - glorious it isn't. Imo.
My late father was raised in a children's home in the 30's - a cruel and unforgiving environment - he and another boy ran away aged 8 and lived off the land sleeping in an overturned boat, they managed more than 2 weeks before they were caught by a bobby whilst scrumping apples. When he was 12 in 1940 he was moved to a farm in Cambridge where he remembered working with the horses and watching the dog fights in the sky above. Having enough food to eat and genuine affection from the farmer and his wife I believe they were the happiest days of his life.
Oh, SV....now your making me feel guilty.
I once likened Frank to our very own Uncle Albert, during the 'old Beeb days.....thankfully he gracefully accepted it with good grace and joined in the ensuing banter.
I, like many others have always admired & respected his missives....long may they continue.
David - don't feel guilty! Banter is one thing - Frank knows only too well the poster(s) to whom I refer. And that's not you!
Frank - if you're out there (and I bet you are) you are a valued poster, whose messages are relished by many. Mind you, the mental image of Uncle Albert from David may be confusing me . . . . .
Muvs, your father was not alone I saw children form homes where the father could not get work, they were hard times, they came to school in plimsolls with cardboard for soles and probably ate one hot meal a week if lucky.The war changed that as people got back in work so for many the war years were good years, strange to say but so very true, war was not all hell.David, no need to whip yourself with branches, the war years were never mentioned by people because they wanted to forget, BBC started it all with their 2001 search for peoples war. It opened flood gates for many old stagers who had lived with baggage all their lives (no counsellors back then it was get on with it) but also for children and grandchildren there was a sudden interest, it was really my grand children who started me off with questionnaire from school. then my children saying we know absolutely nothing about you and mum before we were born, well no, to them parents came in cans with open only to bring up children was what they thought and expected.As for Uncle Albert, we all had one, the old chap sitting in the corner throwing in the odd remark which when we thought about it made all the sense in the world.I found as I went up in rank I had to be dad to young lads out of their comfort zone who looked to you for direction, then civvy street in charge of people, making the decisions solving the problems and looking after their welfare, I often felt like Uncle Albert, the problem was I did not have one, the buck stopped with me.Ok I promise no more.frank.
Frank - break that promise of "no more". Please. We want to hear your input. And for the record - you are not "Uncle Albert" of the boards! Honest!
I'm almost sure the Fordson tractor being used in the series is the E27N Major modal, in which case it wasn't intrduced until just after the war:
None of those tractors are war time David, the Fordson is 1960's, The little grey Fergy next to it is 1950.'s The wartime Fordson did not have tyres but Latice frame wheels with an iron tyre that had teeth for pulling through the earth, the front wheels were iron and with direct steering, no springing a pig to drive. The tractor seat was iron a bit bottom shaped on a sort of leaf spring and that was the only sprung bit on it, a bag of straw came in handy. The radiator was a square cast iron top tank and cast iron bottom tank with the normal block in between. No thermostat and they boiled like mad when working on a hot day, you could get a funnel shaped tank that screwed in the radiator cap and it acted as an expansion tank also holding more water. There was no grill as shown.Some of the larger farms got a John Brown Tractor as used by the RAF with sweeping wings, it was much lower and had a padded seat for two people.There was an odd looking tractor that had a two cylinder diesel engine, I never had anything to do with it but it seemed to do the job.
Frank, I agree the tractors on display outside the farm gate seem to be of post war vintage, although the Fordson E27N driven by Ruth was first introduced in 1945....I accept what you say about earlier modals.
Incidentally, I used to own a Ferguson T20 (little grey Fergie) in the mid-fifties when I ran a medium sized poultry farm..... hatchery, to be precise.
It must be irksome to see the "wrong" machinery - but, being charitable to the production team, I guess they're trying to get the flavour of the time across.
OH is very much "in" to steam trains - and is highly critical of the wrong engine/livery etc in films. To the uninitiated, it doesn't make any difference (as I feel constrained to point out to him each time he complains )
I'm enjoying the series, though, but the thing that does irritate is the very poor editing: one shot shows trees in full leaf, and yet the next minute, it seems, we are being told that Christmas is approaching, and the background changes. I know things are put together after a lot of filming - but the "filler" shots are unnecessary imo and the swiftly changing seasons irritates me. (But I am still enjoying it!)

Eight Ways To Avoid Being Asked To Volunteer At SchoolStefanie Wilder Taylor
It happens every year. Your kids' school needs volunteers and somehow someway you always get sucked in to doing so much more than you mean to. It's just that you have so much trouble saying no! Well, stop being a pussy! The people who do the organizing can smell your fear of confrontation and need to please from a country mile and if you don't do something about it, you will find yourself heading up the annual giving committee, personally snapping every yearbook photo, answering phones in the office and bringing home the class pets. And that will just be Monday. Don't worry, as usual, I've got a solution. Here are eight ways to avoid even being asked, let alone forced to volunteer.
Number 1 1 of 8Three words: Multiple Face piercings
Number 2 2 of 8Demand high-fives that you finally cleared a background check.
Number 3 3 of 8When discussing the next fundraiser wonder loudly if McDonald's caters.
Number 4 4 of 8Send out an email about your idea to shoot a "Hot Husbands of the PTA" calendar and state your intention to hold private auditions in your home.
Number 5 5 of 8Get the word out that you'd love your home to be featured on "Hoarders" in case anyone has an in.
Number 6 6 of 8Go to a committee meeting and say, "I'm sorry but that's not how we did things when I worked at Hooters."
Number 7 7 of 8At the next event yell, "We could all learn a thing or two about teamwork from those ladies on Dance Moms!"
Number 8 8 of 8Ask that people refer to you by your nickname: Lice Magnet

Many times when we talk about the dangers of the internet it deals with kids that could be put in harm's way or personal information that could be stolen. You can add another to that list. Information that isn't accurate.
The last danger is the one playing out in Virginia. It all has to do with a history book Virginia's Education Department approved that wrongly claims thousands of black troops fought for the Confederacy.
Schools are now being informed about the mistake after a fourth-grader's parent discovered the error in the Civil War chapter of "Our Virginia: Past and Present." The parent is also a history professor at the College of William and Mary.
Professor Carol Sheriff says blacks occasionally took up arms to defend their masters, but it was illegal to use blacks as soldiers in the Confederacy until toward the war's end. Sheriff says none of those companies saw action on the battlefront and most worked involuntarily as laborers.
So here's the million dollar question. Where did that information come from that ended up in the book? "Our Virginia" author Joy Masoff told The Washington Post that she found the passage on the Internet. That raises another question. What about those who are supposed to review textbooks before approving them? How did this mistake get by them?
In this age where you can find everything and anything on the internet, it's worth remembering, just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true. That's a lesson students in Virginia have certainly learned!!

1. Identifying those areas suitable for recolonization by threatened species is essential to support efficient conservation policies. Habitat suitability models (HSM) predict species' potential distributions, but the quality of their predictions should be carefully assessed when the species-environment equilibrium assumption is violated.
2. We studied the Eurasian otter Lutra lutra, whose numbers are recovering in southern Italy. To produce widely applicable results, we chose standard HSM procedures and looked for the models' capacities in predicting the suitability of a recolonization area. We used two fieldwork datasets: presence-only data, used in the Ecological Niche Factor Analyses (ENFA), and presence-absence data, used in a Generalized Linear Model (GLM). In addition to cross-validation, we independently evaluated the models with data from a recolonization event, providing presences on a previously unoccupied river.
3. Three of the models successfully predicted the suitability of the recolonization area, but the GLM built with data before the recolonization disagreed with these predictions, missing the recolonized river's suitability and badly describing the otter's niche. Our results highlighted three points of relevance to modelling practices: (1) absences may prevent the models from correctly identifying areas suitable for a species spread; (2) the selection of variables may lead to randomness in the predictions; and (3) the Area Under Curve (AUC), a commonly used validation index, was not well suited to the evaluation of model quality, whereas the Boyce Index (CBI), based on presence data only, better highlighted the models' fit to the recolonization observations.
4. For species with unstable spatial distributions, presence-only models may work better than presence-absence methods in making reliable predictions of suitable areas for expansion. An iterative modelling process, using new occurrences from each step of the species spread, may also help in progressively reducing errors.
5.Synthesis and applications. Conservation plans depend on reliable models of the species' suitable habitats. In non-equilibrium situations, such as the case for threatened or invasive species, models could be affected negatively by the inclusion of absence data when predicting the areas of potential expansion. Presence-only methods will here provide a better basis for productive conservation management practices.

This is not a hoax! It really works! But you ll need some extra training for your neck muscles ;) Don't be worried about party pictures any more. Just keep your head tilted when ever a friend pulls a camera or you travel to the UK. You'll be safe! In case you are not an expert in software like Kyle's ofxFaceTracker you can also test this just with your phone or camera. Facial recognition is default nowadays (especially on all the Faceboogles….)!!

This is the last post of the F.A.T. garage sales week. We kicked out tons of super hot, unreleased works and projects. (Borna! I missed your jackets, I want one!)
And here comes a final highlight! Last year I curated the program for the category Digital Communities at Ars Electronica 2010. The whole thing was called TELE-INTERNET and a mix of talks, workshops, lab, hacker space and performances. We also had a night program at Roter Krebs (which is definately the best party place in Linz!!). Looking back this night was very special and became one of my personal highlights in F.A.T. history !! (…besides the TM fake G-car :) Finally I managed to get it documented! Enjoy!!

Wayyy back in seventh grade, there was about a two-week period where a group of kids were calling me Gay-vis, instead of Davis. There's an unspoken rule amongst teenage males that states you must call your fellow peers by their last name only. And, since I was always an easy target for gay jokes (not because I was gay, mind you, but because I was weaker than a wet tissue), the boys had a grand time at my expense. I grew up in Staten Island; a borough of New York City full of tough Italian-Americans who used the word 'gay' to describe anything or anyone that wasn't worth their time.
Watching I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was like taking a trip back 17 years -- back to a time when you couldn't step foot inside a school cafeteria without hearing someone blurt out another unoriginal gay joke. And that's exactly what this latest Adam Sandler comedy is -- a long, 140-minute version of those stereotypical gay jokes that were popular during my youth in the early '90s. Problem is, it's 2007. But if blatant, in-your-face homophobia tickles your funny bone, and you're the type that feels Sandler can do no wrong, then Chuck and Larry should definitely get you off -- but not in a, ya know, gay kind of way.p>Positive reviews of this film will probably preach about its "message" over anything else. What message? That it's okay to produce one godawful stereotype after another for two straight hours if, in the end, your lead character stands up and tells the audience he's not going to use the word 'faggot' anymore because it isn't nice? I'm sorry, but the last place I'm looking for a message is in a silly, outlandish Happy Madison production -- where the only message I usually walk away with is one that's scribbled in black magic marker on the forehead of everyone who paid money to see the film; it reads, "Sucker." But apparently gay jokes are big right now, as one successful comedy (Wild Hogs) this year utilized them with great success, box office-wise. So the majority of audiences will probably love Chuck (Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) -- two relatable, Brooklyn-born firefighters who love their city just as much as they love their families. And they'll probably sympathize with Larry's unfortunate dilemma, while rooting for Chuck to sleep with the entire staff at Hooters ... at the same time (literally). Because it's fun. Because it's silly. Because it reminds us of the jokes we told in seventh grade. But whether or not those jokes are still funny is entirely up to you.
The most depressing part of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is not the acting, or the premise, or the directing -- it's in the fact that this script was apparently "re-vamped" by the Oscar-winning writing duo of Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor. You'll hear a lot about those two guys in the reviews you read; you'll hear how they wrote Sideways, how it was nominated for Oscars (winning one for Best Adapted Screenplay) and how it's surprising to see them affiliated with this flick. But what you won't here is the name of the drug(s) they were on when the decision was made to take on this project. The remnants of their superb skills (see: Election, About Schmidt) predominantly linger in the relationship between Chuck and Larry. Early on, we're clearly shown that either man would easily risk his life for the other, without hesitation. This is why Larry, a widower, has no problem asking Chuck to be his pretend domestic partner so that, in the case of his death, Larry could leave everything to Chuck; a man he knows would do right by his two kids. The chemistry between the two actors is there, sure, but it's at this point the film reverts back to its one-joke premise, and not even a bunch of bizarre cameos can save it.
And when I say bizarre cameos, I'm not talking about the obligatory Rob Schneider appearance. Here, he plays the wacky Asian minister who marries Chuck and Larry in Canada. There's no originality there; it's basically the same Asian comic stereotype we've seen in countless films over the years. David Spade also pops up as one of many in-your-face gay men; the kind of guy who dresses up in outrageous outfits, licks his fingers and winks at every penis that walks by. The most random cameo has to be awarded to Dave Matthews, of The Dave Matthews Band. I won't ruin his lame appearance for you, but let's just say it's not much different from the rest. Problems arise for our newly gay couple when The Government becomes suspicious of them, sending out an awkward homophobic investigator (Steve Buscemi) to dig up some dirt on the two. It's at that time Chuck and Larry visit an attorney (Jessica Biel), but things become complicated when Chuck (a self-proclaimed man whore) realizes -- holy crap -- our attorney is hot. Thus begins a fairly comical back-and-forth between a guy who's falling in love with a girl who thinks he's gay -- another aspect of the film that was clearly helped by Payne and Taylor's writing.
Slowly but surely, the film goes from "hiding gayness" to "defending gayness" when word gets out that two of New York's hunky firemen play for the other team. Their Fire Chief (Dan Aykroyd) is probably the most suspicious, but his views on the situation don't come into play until it becomes time to wrap things up. But things don't really "wrap up" -- like with most Sandler comedies, everyone basically has a good laugh about the whole thing and fireworks go off. You know things are pretty bad when the most enjoyable set piece in the film revolves around the age-old "don't drop the soap" gag. It's at that point when you will never look at Ving Rhames (who plays a fellow firefighter hiding his own secrets) the same way again. All that being said, I'm fully aware that I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry will hit each audience member differently. Some might feel it presents a fresh take on homophobia, and that those men who steer clear of anything gay-related for fear it might make them less of a man should be ridiculed. But the film is so over-the-top -- to a point where there's not one gay character who isn't dancing, singing or eye-f*cking the nearest pedestrian -- that whatever real message it's trying to send gets lost. And everything in between is just typical Sandler-esque filler. While it might be enough to make you laugh -- like with the majority of his films -- it's far from memorable.
Man, am I glad seventh grade only happens once.

Fire which destroyed two Baugo businesses ruled accidental
Firefighters say the fire started from a plasma torch being used in a business.
Firefighters say a Tuesday evening fire that destroyed two businesses and damaged a third was accidental.
Baugo Township fire chief Chad Carey said the owner of Diamond Finishes, located at 57955 C.R. 3, was working with a plasma torch when items near his work area accidentally caught fire.
Firefighters were called to the scene late Thursday afternoon, May 27, and flames were seen coming through the building's roof around 6:45 p.m. Firefighters were still on the scene around midnight.
The man made it out of the building uninjured, but the business was a total loss.
Another business in the building was a total loss as well, but the third, Rodriguez Auto Repair, suffered only 25 percent damage, Carey said.
Several people working inside Rodriguez Auto Repair also evacuated safely.
Concord, Osolo, Wakarusa, Cleveland and Elkhart fire departments assisted Baugo Township firefighters at the scene.

Looting, Crafting and Stealth-Kills: Hands on with The Last of Us
Check out the rest of our The Last of Us preview coverage: Ross Lincoln's Generation 7 Ends On A High Note: The Last Of Us Hands-On, and our interview with Lead Designer Jacob Minkoff about players' relationship with the character of Ellie.
A twisted, overgrown Boston downtown rears up before us as rain pours down from overhead. My small party is still arguing — Joel, my character, thinks this is all a really bad idea. His partner in smuggling, Tess, thinks it's still doable and will all be worth it. And then there's Ellie, 14, who is swept along for the ride.
This is The Last of Us, and it's the first time I've seen the game in any sort of action outside of trailers. It's also the first time anyone in the games journalism community has had a chance to actually play it. We're early on still — in the story of the game, Joel and Tess are tasked with smuggling Ellie out of the fascist Boston Quarantine Zone, which is protected under martial law by the remnants of the U.S. military. They're now outside that Quarantine Zone, looking to rendezvous with the people who wanted Ellie brought from that place and removed from the military's control.
We don't know much else, but our team of three is hoping to make it to the State House, a gold-domed building in the heart of Boston. To get there, they have to cross the wreckage that was downtown: overgrown in the 20 years since humans have been beset by plague, bombed into ruin in the early days of the infection.
The infection, of course, is a parasitic fungus that has the effect of basically turning anyone who breathes its spores into a zombie. The fungus grows in the skull of those infected, causing them to become murderous monsters — both attempting to feed, as they are still living animals, and attempting to infect more humans with the disease. They roam these buildings, and stand between us and our goal.
Searching to Survive
Water trickles down the concrete in another typically beautiful Naughty Dog game. The Last of Us is impressive as Joel, Tess and Ellie crawl through buildings and over streets, looking for a way forward. The playthrough introduces me to a few quick elements of The Last of Us handles: first, it's third-person and over-the-shoulder, so the gameplay feels very much akin to Resident Evil 4 and the Dead Space series. Second, your defensive options are quite limited, allowing you to fight with fists or pull a weapon, again with the same controls you'd expect from survival-horror titles.
In fact, I think the best way to explain how The Last of Us felt as I was playing it was a combination of Dead Space or Resident Evil 4, I Am Alive and Splinter Cell. The opening portion of the 30- to 40-minute demo had Joel climbing over things and sliding boxes into place to help his companions scale obstacles, as well as propping open doors and otherwise working to get through the destroyed environment. During this, there was a heavy emphasis placed on scavenging. The world has ended, after all, so every granola bar, bottle of water and pair of scissors you can find is essential equipment. Checking drawers and shelves for this gear occupied much of this early part of the game.
Then we started finding dead soldiers. Apparently, a military patrol had cut through the building and found itself overrun. Notes discovered on bodies illustrated a bit of their story, but their ravaged, bloodied corpses told a lot more. As we climbed further into the building, the sounds of distant enemies seemed to grow.
Finally, we saw them: the infected. A door burst open as Joel rounded a corner and suddenly it was on him, still partially human but unable to articulate more than a few gutteral sounds, its face and eyes obscured somewhat by the beginnings of the fungal growth. Tess shot it before it could do any damage, though, and handed Joel a medkit. I pulled it from my inventory — which consists of six or so slots accessed by the D-pad — and spent a few seconds holding buttons down while Joel applied a bandage.

PRETORIA, South Africa — Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) continues to deliver astounding sales results. This despite an industry faced with tough industrial challenges.Ford commanded 12,2% share of the South African new vehicle market during September, an all-time record for the brand. The result was driven by the highest Ford retail volume month since September 2005 with 5 766 Fords finding new South African homes last month.The new vehicle market softened somewhat during the month as expected from the spate of industrial issues facing the industry on multiple levels. Not least affected were volumes from locally produced products."With labour issues encountered on a production, supplier and retail level over the past month, it was inevitable that these affects would be hard-felt in the reported sales numbers," said FMCSA's General Manager, Rob Crouse. "Yet despite this, Ford volumes continue to climb faster than the market, repeatedly setting new records month on month."The new vehicle market was 1,5% down on September last year and shed 1 837 units on August according to the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa). Hardest hit was the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sector, down 9,6% on the same month last year, while the passenger car market was 0,8% up on September 2012.Ford's turbocharged EcoBoost products continued to drive much of the Ford demand. EcoBoost technology contributed 50% of the EcoSport sales as customers shift to a more fuel efficient, lower emissions vehicle without sacrificing performance. But it was the recently introduced Ford EcoSport that continued to lead its segment for the second month running, more than doubling sales of its closest rival with 827 sales. Figo sales were helped by seasonal rental deals to boost sales to 1 690 units, the best Figo sales month since August 2011. "Surrounding economic conditions continue to impact the sales environment and against which, the automotive industry continues to perform. We can still expect 2013 to be a successful year for industry sales, which will be aided by a return to some labour stability," said Crouse.

Great long johns for the summertime
These are the first long johns that I have had that are not the over-the-shoulder velcro strap and I must say that they are a different experience for the summertime. There is surprisingly little flushing; I had expected a lot more water to get into the suit.Movement is amazing! The freedom felt while paddling around in this suit is spectacular. I bought a L when I usually wear a LT so I was expecting some resistance in the shoulders, but experienced none. I would recommend this suit. It has a pouch for your key that sits in the middle of your back and the velcro to keep the zipper from falling is small enough that it won't tear up the suit too badly too quickly.

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: March 16 2012 10:24 AM 0 The Huffington Post Well. So much for subtle, covert racism, and so much for people who can't stand Obama because he's black making up other reasons to justify their opposition. Apparently a company is selling -- and people are actually buying and proudly displaying -- "Don't Re-Nig" bumper stickers to gear up for the 2012 presidential election. From the Huffington Post: A photograph of a bumper sticker that features racist, anti-Obama language has gone viral on Facebook and other social networks. The sticker reads "Don't Re-Nig In 2012," in large white type, above smaller text that reads: "Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect Obama!" The offensive design appears to have originated at a site called Stumpy's Stickers, where it can be purchased. The site sells variations on the same idea, including another "Don't Re-Nig" design and a caricature of a black man's face with a missing tooth, a picture of a chimp that reads "Obama 2012," and another with a drawing of several Ku Klux Klan members that reads "The Original Boys In The Hood." It's horrifying that people feel this way, but it's certainly not shocking or new. Are we a little refreshed that some Americans are at least owning the real source of their opposition to the president? Read more at the Huffington Post. Like The Root on Facebook.

Coaching Income Killers – Are you sabotaging your profits with any of these 3 mistakes?
by BobTheTeacher · Filed Under: Article Marketing · Bob The Teacher Training · Business Blogging · Business Building · Coaching Business Strategies
If you're a coach struggling to generate enough income to live comfortably and stress-free, then you're probably making one or more of these (unfortunately) common mistakes.
Coaching Income Killer #1 – Charging clients by the hour
The biggest mistakes coaches make is pricing their services in terms of hours or sessions. This turns you into a commodity, and downplays the transformation you provide for your clients.
Instead of charging by the hour or session, create packages that are priced based on the potential results. Include additional resources in your clients' investment so the value per hour can not be calculated. Even if you offer just a single strategy session, emphasize the particular purpose of that strategy session as the reason for the price – and avoid putting it in hourly terms.
Coaching Income Killer #2 – Not charging enough for what you do
I've seen the training that the major coaching certification programs provide, and when it comes to pricing your services, they literally sell you short.
The result is you are likely under-valuing your services and not charging enough. Look at your current pricing model. If you had 20 clients paying you what you currently earn, would you still be earning a relatively menial salary?
The reality is when you under-price your services, you're also selling out on your clients in an attempt to be "nice". As a coach, you know that commitment comes with a stretch.
My recommendation?
Raise your prices immediately by at least 25%. And then for every 3 new clients you get, raise your prices again by 25%.
Coaching Income Killer #3 – Only Working 1-on-1
Most coaching models will have you working privately with your clients. And that's great but obviously presents a capacity problem when growing your business.
There are only so many clients you can help in a day, and only so far you'll be able to increase your prices.
Instead of working only with private clients, deliver a group coaching program, too. Even if you coach people in the most sensitive of topics, they'll appreciate knowing they're not alone. Meanwhile, you can work with more people during the same amount of time, and typically earn 2 – 10 times more for the time.
Don't fall victim to these coaching income killers. Go to CoachingIncomeSecrets.com now to discover more ways to turn your amazing ability to transform other people's lives (in life, business, fitness, finances, health, or relationships, etc.) into a wildly successful and profitable business!
7 Responses to "Coaching Income Killers – Are you sabotaging your profits with any of these 3 mistakes?"
You said it!! These are by far the top 3 reasons business owners aren't making enough money and/or achieving the growth potential in their business. Great article Bob!
Michele Scism, The Results Lady from http://www.DecisiveMinds.com
Very practical information, Bob. When coaches finish a session that doesn't usually end the time they spend thinking about their client(s) and how they can help them further. They may even spend time working on strategies that can help their clients long after their session is over so Killer #1 and your recommendations are great points to keep in mind.
Wonderful advice.
I've heard to add a zero to your prices.
I have one client that pays a couple hundred a month.
The value he got this year from my web and SEO services for http://www.sanjosepoolchlor.com was way more than he spent so he's a happy customer.
It works for me too since I am good at what I do, it does not take me very long to bang out a website or get his business to #1 in search. He currently has #1 and #3 positions for his search term. We started on page 13.
Now I just need a few more clients that pay a bit more and I'll be set.
Thanks for all the food for thought. I am definitely making mistakes.
I'm a strong believer in content marketing and providing value to people. You made the perfect point: it's not about being salesy or promotional. You have to create good content that offers something to people, for free. That's how you build trust and credibility. And of course good SEO means that people will find your content! Thanks for sharing.
I'm the same way I do my best to remain neutral. It's hard if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can't dislike a person just because someone else does I just can't.
roofing companies dallas
I agree with what you are saying, but found that I had great success when I started offering people the option to schedule one session. So many people have taken me up on it who I don't believe would have without that option. I consider it another service I offer along with packages for people who want it. I started doing it in response to what people were asking me for.

NREL's New Optical Furnace 'Bakes' More Efficient Solar Cells Using 50% Less Energy
Posted By Timon Singh On January 2, 2011 @ 10:00 am In Environment,Innovation,News,Recycled Materials,Renewable Energy | 3 Comments
There are many new technologies being developed to create cheaper, more efficient solar panels [1] – however researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory [2] just announced that they have found a way to create more efficient photovoltaic cells using 50% less energy. The technique hinges upon a new optical furnace that uses intense light instead of a conventional furnace to heat silicon to make solar cells. The new furnace utilizes "highly reflective and heat-resistant ceramics to ensure that the light is absorbed only by a silicon wafer, not by the walls inside the furnace."
While solar energy is one of the cleanest alternative energy methods available, the manufacturing process is fairly energy-intensive. NREL's new method not only reduces the energy required to make solar cells, but also makes the cells more efficient as the optical furnace heats up the panels' silicon substrate.
The scientists and engineers at NREL heated the silicon to over 1,000 degrees celsius with powerful lights that use half the energy of a conventional furnace – and the lights also remove impurities from silicon. The result is more efficient solar panels that are cheaper to produce.
The team's work is currently at an early stage, and researchers have only improved the efficiency of the first solar cells by half a percentage point. However, based on lab tests, they believe that this can be furthered increased by four percentage points – from about 16 percent efficient to 20 percent. In an industry where half a percent increase is an achievement, this is quite a big deal.
Bringing down the cost of solar panel production is the key to getting the general public to embrace the technology. Hopefully the team's research will yield promising results and this optical furnace process can be rolled out commercially as fast as possible so that we can all benefit from cheaper and greener energy

[M]aybelline has recently launched their Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadows. The new collection has 10 shades, ranging from neutrals to bright, fun colors. These rich, saturated cream shadows are said to last 24 hours without any creasing or smudging.
While most drug store brands carry different types of cream eyeshadows, the quality has not been as comparable to higher end products such as MAC paint pots and Makeup For Ever aqua creams. Until now.
We've been able to get ahold of six shades to test out and see if they're really that fabulous!
- 'Too Cool'
The first is Too Cool, a white frosty eyeshadow. The color looks more opaque in the jar, but it's less intense once you apply it.
Pro: Great for soft look, but easy to intensify.
Con: A matte version would have made this an even better highlighter.
- 'Tough as Taupe'
Next is Tough as Taupe, a matte mid-tone taupe. Of all the shades in the line, this one is by far one of the more versatile ones.
Pro: It's works great as a base or by itself.
Con: A lighter version would be amazing for those with fairer skin.
- 'Bad to the Bronze'
The third shade is Bad to the Bronze. Depending on the angle you can really see the slight rose undertones.
Pro: It's one of the most pigmented shades in the bunch. A perfect way to give some warmth to the eyelids.
Con: None
- 'Bold Gold'
Following the warmer tones is Bold Gold. This shade also has a subtle dusty rose undertone with excellent pigmentation.
Pro: Another great shade to use by itself or under an eyeshadow to really take it to the next level.
Con: None
- 'Pomegranate Punk'
Moving towards the brighter colors is Pomegranate Punk. This shade is the perfect way to use color without feeling overdone.
Pro: It's a mid-tone cranberry shade, so it's easy to wear in the day time.
Con: None
- 'Edgy Emerald'
Now the last and brightest is Edgy Emerald. Like Tough as Taupe, this shade has a nice matte finish.
Pro: The matte texture subdues the bright green color a bit. So there's more room to experiment.
Con: Not as wearable by itself as some of the other shades.
Overall Maybelline has done a great job on giving us wide range of color options and textures to play with. The creamy consistency makes these eyeshadows easy to apply and blend with our hands or brushes. And all six shades have great pigmentation, which is a great improvement from past drugstore cream eyeshadows. However, the lasting power on these depend on the individual. For those with oily lids, be prepared to see the color fade throughout the day. A quick tip to help prevent this is to use a primer beforehand to keep the color as vibrant as possible.

Rohun woke up against the cold stone and gravel earth. His back ached and his wings felt like they were about to rip apart from the pressure of the sharp stones. He got up slowly, dust falling off of his scaly skin.
Rohun heard something odd. It sounded like the crackling of fire. Lots of fire.
"That's odd… what on earth is going on to make so much fire?" He wondered, walking out of his cave to get a view of the outdoors. He decided to go visit his parents, the king and queen of the Gold dragons. The Gold dragons are at the top of the dragon classes, pure in soul and kind-hearted. They are what humans call "elites" or "nobels" because of the beautiful color of their scales. As Rohun walked into the sunlight, his golden scales shone brightly and beautifully. They reflected the horrible things before him like mirrors. Glistening fire, black smoke, burning trees, melting iron all danced on the golden scales. But the scales were lucky. They couldn't hear.
Rohun heard. He heard the screams and roars if his people, his people who had been trapped in their dens and caves by burning rocks and trees. Then he spotted wings as black as night, flying through the crimson sky, blending in with the horrible black smoke. He had found the cause of the fire, the jealous dark dragons. Their gleaming red eyes gave them away. They were not like the beautiful black dragons. They had evil hearts and horrid tempers.
Rohun ran towards his parents den. Of course, the king and queen were the targets of this whole thing. Their den was surrounded by rocks and trees that had been thrown over them. It would soon be nothing but rubble, the dragons inside would be ashes. Rohun was devastated and he knew he must act quickly. As the prince of the Golds, he must do what is best for his people. He covered his golden scales in the black ashes so he would not be recognized and ran back to his den. He collected his only belongings; a mysterious crystal necklace and a small crown. He packed them in a leather bag that hung around his neck, and snuck back outside.
A few horrifying minutes later Rohun was far away from his home. He had retreated deep into the mountains and found a resting place among the cool rock caves. He washed the ashes off of his scales using the small stream running through the cave. Finally, a quiet place to sit and think. What on earth could he do? Then he remembered something from one of his mother's stories.
Rohun looked at his necklace he had been given. He had always thought the stone was a simple diamond, but now he caught a glimpse of colored light from deep within the stone. What could that be? Was he supposed to find the Wise One? He decided to go out and search for him.


text: 2 days ago, I was cycling down a boulevard, and at the end of the street, I went into the left turn lane in order to turn left onto another street. Up in front of me was a huge delivery truck, so I could not see the left turn light and when the truck moved, then I moved. As the truck was making the left turn, the light turned red, which meant I had to wait until the traffic was clear, so I stopped. BEHIND ME, a motorist failed to keep a safe distance between me and his vehicle, so when I stopped to wait for the traffic to clear, he ended up rear ending me. Good thing I have a full fender on my rear wheel, which took most of the impact, and loosening a bolt as a result. No other damage though. The thing that bugs me about this is that the motorist stopped quite close to my rear wheel while I stopped behind the truck at the red light, and in general, these motorists are such in a rush that even if I am not making a left and going straight, they still stop dangerously close to my bike at a red light. Overall, my point is, motorists, KEEP A GOOD DISTANCE BETWEEN CYCLISTS AND YOU. The lives of cyclists like me depend on your actions as a driver.

One Net Technology Limited: Tips on how to blend ads into content
The article was offer by the One Net Technology Limited
I have been less than successful with my Adsense campaign, and the suggestion of blending in the ads with the content was made. I agree with that, but am not sure what other things I can be doing to accomplish this goal. Currently I have the Ad backgound the same as the background on the page, the font text color is black which is the same as my content text.
I'll admit that to me it still doesn't really blend in, but at the same time I'm unsure how to accomplish this goal. Might you be willing to take a look at a few pages on my site and provide some suggestions? Here's a good starting point where there is content (on the bottom of the page there's a "Next Page" link:

OptiNet System Overview
The OptiNet system is the enabling technology for Aircuity solutions.
The OptiNet system is a unique, patented system that takes samples of air remotely throughout a facility and routes them to a centralized suite of sensors. By measuring critical indoor environmental parameters, the OptiNet system can provide intelligent input to building ventilation systems for energy efficiency and high quality indoor environmental quality.
Game Changing Architecture: Capture, Sense, and Control
The OptiNet system can capture air samples from specific rooms or from air supply ducts, and it routes these air samples to a centralized suite of sensors in a manner similar to how data packets are routed through a data network. Utilizing a single set of high quality sensors increases the accuracy of the measurements needed and significantly lowers the life cycle costs of maintaining system calibration. The sensor analysis is then used to inform building ventilation controls to optimize ventilation rates based on what is actually going on in the environment.
Solving the Issues of Remote Sensors
Aircuity's use of centralized sensors solves many of the issues related to traditional sensing systems. By analyzing air samples with a single sensor a true differential measurement is created that vastly improves the accuracy of the system. By significantly reducing the number of sensors needed, higher quality sensors can be deployed to measure more critical parameters. Life cycle costs are also reduced as Aircuity can cost-effectively provide scheduled calibration service, ensuring system accuracy and effectiveness year after year.

I heard something on the radio about the mayor of Paris becoming very unpopular for encouraging non-auto centric transport in his city. I didn't hear the whole piece but found this link:
One thing that is a little different is the concept of "green district" within the city. It seems more comprehensive than just closing off some streets to create a shopping mall atmosphere.

'The Strangers' wants to introduce you to its original sounds
Published: Friday, March 5, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 12:48 p.m.
HOUMA — The Strangers know their audiences, so they've been making their move with a bit of stealth, sneaking in a foreign song here and there, tucked between the familiar sounds of cover music.
Want to get acquainted with The Strangers?
The Strangers, a Cut Off-based rock band, will play a mix of cover songs and original music at a concert scheduled for 9 p.m. March 6 at The Olde Ice House in Thibodaux.
The band's debut CD, "Mystery Flavor," released Feb. 26, is available at www.myspace.com/wearethestrangers.
The Cut Off-based band aims to acquaint crowds with their still-developing brand of rock, but the group is using locals' love for cover music to make that introduction smoother.
"Audiences down here really have responded better than we thought," said Regan Rodrigue of Cut Off, vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the band.
The group's four members, all natives of southern Lafourche Parish and all in their mid-20s, formed The Strangers in July 2008 with a common goal of using cover songs as a pathway to writing and performing their own music.
"Hailing from an area where cover bands hold strong in the music scene, we're trying to break the mold," the band explains in a news release.
Cover bands so strongly dominate the local scene, especially in southern Lafourche Parish, that original music "almost doesn't stand a chance," said Rocky Kiffe, percussionist for the band.
So the band built a loyal fan base through performing a repertoire of cover songs, mostly classic and alternative rock, then began adding original music to its shows along the way.
The strategy appears to be working, as some of the band's originals reign as crowd favorites and fans celebrated the group's debut album, stacked with 12 original songs.
The album, "Mystery Flavor," was released Feb. 26 at Premiums, formerly known as the Greenhouse in Larose.
The band typically dedicates only one-third of its shows to original music, but that night, focused on its own songs.
"It was a whole lot better than we expected," Kiffe said. "They really embraced it."
The Strangers include Rodrigue, lead guitarist Jacob Callais, bassist Cody Duet and Kiffe.
Band members work outside the music industry — Kiffe as an office manager for a contract labor company, Rodrigue as a refrigeration and electrical technician, and Duet as a diesel mechanic. Callais is a senior studying geomatics at Nicholls State University.
But each member holds years of musical experience, either in school bands or rock bands, some in both.
Roridgue and Duet, friends since childhood, previously performed in bands together, according to a news release from The Strangers. Kiffe also played in multiple local bands before teaming with the singer and bassist. The band found its fourth member with a single audition. Callais just fit perfectly, Kiffe said.
The musicians began performing cover songs in October 2008, working to differentiate their sound by playing music not covered often by other local musicians, such as songs by 311, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd.
The Strangers play mostly at Premiums, but the group has also performed at clubs in Grand Isle and Houma, local festivals and battle of the band shows.
The band started writing original songs not long after forming, but didn't risk playing any for a live audience until a slight mishap forced them to do so.
The Strangers were playing in Houma in November 2008 when the group ran out of cover songs with at least 10 minutes left on stage. The crowd was asking for more, so the band broke out its 7-and-a-half minute, guitar-driven "Traffic."
"If they wanted it, they had to open their minds a little and let us experiment," Kiffe said.
The crowd proved accepting, encouraging the band to perform more of its own music, he said.
"We were in the business long enough to know we were tired of playing covers. But we weren't in the business long to accept just playing covers," Kiffe said.
It's easy for bands to say they'll switch from covers to originals, but "the move's really difficult," Kiffe said.
"You get labeled a cover band," he said.
And crowds cheer for familiar songs, offering performers a sense of gratification, he said. To entertain with originals, band members must accept that the applause may die for a while as "people won't necessarily like it right away," he said.
"It has to be accessible," Callais added.
Fans say they like the variety offered in The Strangers original songs, Kiffe said.
That variety stems from the range of musical tastes and styles of each band member. The music reflects interests in classic, experimental, alternative, progressive and mainstream rock.
The band collaborates well, especially in creating music that incorporates ideas from each member, Rodrigue said.
"We all have the same goals, and we all understand the work that it takes to accomplish those goals," he said. "Everybody wants what's best for the band, and what's best for the band is what pleases the audience."
The Strangers spent nearly a year creating its debut album, which Kiffe describes as more radio-friendly and mainstream than the songs planned for its second album, to be more progressive and complex.
"We're not being complacent with our creativity," Kiffe said.

Priceless Presents (From Lesson Plan SOS)
Instead of giving each other monetary gifts, the students gave each other priceless presents. They each wrote compliments about all the other students in the classroom. They then wrapped a box and brought it in to school The students then exchanged compliments. When we were finished they had a box full of kind words and compliments! This is the first year I've done this. The students loved it. Okay...I'll admit I did have to hold back a few tears as I watched them read their cards. They were so grateful for this priceless present. (Get your copy of the compliment card activity from Lesson Plan SOS TpT Store.)

Holidays Around the World
Because we had THREE snow days before Christmas, we only had time to "travel" to three different countries to learn how they celebrate their holidays. Each day we packed our suitcases, got our passports stamped, and got on board the "Polar Express". We had a tour guide (AKA: Mrs. Lewis became many different people) that explained the customs of the country. When we were finished learning, we made a souvenir and ate a traditional food from that country.Each day we also had math and literacy activities to accompany our learning. (Many ideas for the unit came from Christina Bainbridge)!
The students were each asked to bring in a cereal box to create a suitcase. (I have found cereal boxes work better than manila folders because they give the students room to collect all their treasures.) We cut off one side of the cereal box, wrapped it and added some stamps.

We started in America where we learned about different customs and traditions of the people
in our own country. We read

We also created cinnamon applesauce ornaments and ate a candy cane. Teacher's Clubhouse has many different activities to go along with the reindeer theme.
Next, we "traveled" to Mexico. The students made a poinsettia pinwheel and enjoyed chips and salsa.

Our next "stop" was Italy. We made a broom for our souvenir and also created a broom snack since La Befana, the Christmas witch delivers presents to the boys and girls.(Click on the word links to find directions for this craft and snack.) Students also created a ceppo to show what is important to them.
|Creating the witches' broom
|We used these maps to locate the different places we were traveling. She is creating her ceppo. (see above link to download document)
We then learned about Hannukah. My wonderful husband came in and helped us make potato latkes. He works with a few Jewish doctors that were able to get us dreidels and the candy to use while playing spin the dreidel. Dreidels can also be made out of milk cartons. This year we ran out of time, but we also typically make a menorah craft for the souvenir.

A De-lightful Retelling (From Mailbox)
Our final stop before reaching the North Pole was Germany. In Germany we learned about Christmas trees, gingerbread, as well as many other traditions. We ate gingerbread cookies and created a Christmas tree as our souvenir. (See previous post for gingerbread activities.)

Christmas Party
On Thursday we had our Christmas party! Our wonderful room mother coordinated it to fit our Holidays Around the World theme!
Crafts: The students each got to create their very own gingerbread house (Germany). When they were finished they put the house in a cute little box and tied a ribbon around it to make it look like a present!
|Creating gingerbread houses
|using icing and candy to decorate the gingerbread houses
|wrapping and boxing the gingerbread house
Games: Christmas tree relay game (Germany) - Each team was given a roll of tissue paper and ornaments. They had to decorate one person from their team to look like a Christmas tree! (They loved this!) Next, they played a broom relay race (Italy). The two teams raced each other as they swept a snow ball with a broom around a cone and back.We also played Spin the Dredel (Hanukkah).

Snacks: donuts (fried in oil -Hanukkah), Pizell (italy), hot chocolate with chocolate chips (Mexico), candy cane to stir the hot chocolate (America),
Thanks SO MUCH to all the wonderful parents (and grandparents) for all the help and support during this learning process! :) (Those that couldn't attend the party too!)

in : Problems: Weeds
Fat hen is a weed that will quickly spread and colonise any open ground, competing with your other plants for nutrients.
Fat hen, Chenopodium album, is an annual weed loved by butterflies, and whose young leaves are delicious in salads or cooked like spinach. However, it will also quickly colonise open ground and spread through your garden if left unchecked - a single plant can produce 20,000 seeds in its short lifetime.
Hand weed or hoe out seedlings as they appear, or smother them with a good layer of compost or mulch. Try to remove plants before they flower and seed to slow its spread.
Use a total weedkiller, such as glyphosate. Avoid spraying on a windy day and near other desirable plants.

my"lawn"is being overgrown by a weed which by looking at pictures i think is fatweed.my neighbour thinks it used to be called "vinegar weed".any suggestions on removal would be appreciated .thank you from an elderly computer novice.

Use a selective lawn weedkiller for broad leaved weeds -like dandelion-that, and regular mowing should help
But not yet -wait till everything starts growing

Vinegar weed is trichostema lanceolatum and you can look that up in wikipedia. It has blue flowers. I've never heard of fatweed, though there is a weed called fat hen, which is different from vinegar weed. I should have thought that raking your lawn regularly would pull out seedlings and that using a product like Weed and Feed would help a lot. You probably know this already and I'm wondering what it is about the weed that makes it a particular problem?
02/02/2013 at 21:37
The Trichostema and fat hen, (as thread title) are both annuals, soon mown out of existance on a lawn. googled trichostema and saw the blue flowers. now wondering about lawn weeds like speedwell

Permaculture solution: eat them!
The leaves are edible as a vegetable like spinach or sorrel. Fat hen is related to quinoa, and the thousands of seeds are similarly high in protein.

Ending a 'futile' prosecution was correct decision
At an estimated cost of $300,000, the prosecution of Rita Crundwell on state theft charges would have been costly and futile, as no additional prison time or restitution could have been won. Dropping the charges was the right thing to do.
