Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Model, Space Shuttle, General Dynamics / Convair FR-4 2-Stage Triamese Concept
NASA studied this General Dynamics/Convair concept for a fully reusable space transportation system early in the Shuttle research effort of 1969-1972. This two-stage system featured three piloted fly-back vehicles, an orbiter sandwiched between two boosters, all using liquid propellants. All would ignite together for lift-off, and the boosters would detach and fly to land when their fuel was consumed while the orbiter continued on to space. All three vehicles had snap-out wings and jet engines for return flight. NASA transferred a variety of concept models to the Museum after settling on the final Space Shuttle design.

developmental delay and intellectual disability, usually ranging from moderate to severe. The signs and symptoms of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome overlap significantly with those of two other genetic conditions, Costello syndrome and Noonan syndrome. The three syndromes are part of a group of related conditions called the RASopathies and they are distinguished by their genetic cause and specific patterns of signs and symptoms; however, it can be difficult to tell these conditions apart in infancy. The CFC syndroeme is caused by mutations in the BRAF (75%-80% of the cases), MAP2K1, MAP2K2 or KRAS gene (in fewer than 5% of the cases). CFC syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition, however, most cases have resulted from new gene mutations and have occurred in people with no history of the disorder in their family.[1] Treatment is symptomatic and may include surgery to correct the heart problems.[2]Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a disorder that affects many parts of the body, particularly the heart (cardio-), face (facio-), and the skin and hair (cutaneous).

Original Guitar Hero Publisher RedOctane Shut Down
30-40 out at RedOctane, with additional layoffs at GH: Van Halen's developer.
Not everyone at RedOctane is actually out of a job. According to Kotaku, those who work on the Guitar Hero hardware -- RedOctane is where the series' signature guitar controllers were created -- will retain their jobs and will now report directly to Activision. The remaining RedOctane staffers, which number in the 30-40 range, will be out of a job.
Kotaku also reports that Underground Development, the developer of Guitar Hero: Van Halen, BMX XXX, and the Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX series, will see a number of layoffs, too.
We'll be providing an update as soon as we receive any official word from Activision.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Gerald Laird's ninth-inning triple capped a late rally to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Backed by rookie Brandon Beachy's seven scoreless innings to start the game, the Braves led 2-0 before St. Louis began its comeback. David Freese tied the game with a two-run single in the eighth before Laird's go-ahead triple drove in Matt Holliday.
Closer Craig Kimbrel (0-1), who had a blown save in the Braves' 5-3 loss to the Cardinals in 11 innings on Friday night, couldn't hold a 2-2 tie in the ninth.
Holliday led off with a single to right, advanced to second on catcher Brian McCann's passed ball, and scored on Laird's one-out triple to left.

A North Carolina man is one of four mentally disabled adults rescued from horrific conditions, found living locked in a basement.
Derwin McLemire, 41, is originally from North Carolina. He and three others were rescued this weekend from a crawl space in a Philadelphia apartment building.
The victims say they were manipulated by Linda Weston, who, they claim, took their social security information to collect their government checks.
McLemire says he met Weston last year through an online dating website. He says it was not long before he realized she did not care about him.
"I escaped on time to one of the houses we used to live in of hers and I didn't get away so they got me," McLemire said.
Police say Weston was convicted of murder in a 1981 starvation death. She and two other face charges including aggravated assault, kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Hi Joast,
Could you please change the CSS rules in
wordpress-seo/css/metabox-tabs.css so that they only apply to the tabs generated by WordPress SEO? CSS rules with scopes like
.ui-widget-content and
.ui-menu are broad enough that they apply to any implementation of JQuery UI Tabs on the post editor screen. I'm just about to release version 7.3 of SEO Ultimate which uses metabox tabs, but as it stands, WordPress SEO's CSS rules are wreaking havoc in SEO Ultimate's metabox. If you could please narrow your plugin's CSS rules so that they only apply to the WordPress SEO metabox, I'd be most appreciative. :)
John Lamansky
SEO Ultimate developer
P.S. I would've emailed you, but your website makes it pretty clear you want all plugin correspondence on this forum, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

Animation legend Ralph Bakshi spent some of his WonderCon 2012 time with CBR TV where he discussed his personal purchases at the weekend's show, his own roots as a comic book and superhero fan and the fact that he was never a fan of funny animal kid's comics.
At the show to promote the release of the 35th anniversary edition of "Wizards" on Blu-ray, Bakshi looked back at his career, revealing the projects he always wanted to do, what is important to him when it comes to filmmaking, his repeated decisions to turn down making sequels for most of his features and the fact that he's actually somewhat uncomfortable with the level or reverence many fans approach him and his work.
Bakshi analyzes his current position in the industry as a mentor or teacher to the new generation of animators and the enjoyment he gets from passing on his knowledge to others before Jonah Weiland reveals an embarrassing story about buying a bootleg copy of "Fritz the Cat" on VHS, a story Bakshi encourages him to cut from the final edit.
WOW. That is all.
With the greatest respect to Bakshi his refusal to do sequals seems to have spilled over into doing no new work at all.Tell me Spielberg or Tim Burton wouldn't back him on a new project.

Only the most observant viewer would probably catch that the above pic is actually a print by New York Close Up artist Keltie Ferris. It's part of a recent set of "body prints" on exhibit thru March 30th at Chapter NY in Manhattan's Lower East Side. And only the most conscientious New York gallery goer would know that friend and fellow project artist Josephine Halvorson wrote a really sympathetic and astute essay for the show. So in the interest of making a little more visible the connection between two of our favorite artists – and in the critical spirit of Josephine's most recent film, Josephine Halvorson Gets the Conversation Going – we're happy to present the essay in full:
This Wednesday, January 29th at 6pm, artist Daniel Gordon will discuss his work in the exhibition Shadows and Pears at The Horticultural Society of New York. Art21 will be screening the film Daniel Gordon Gets Physical, followed by a conversation with the exhibition's curator, Chris Murtha, and writer Claire Barliant. We hope to see you there!
We're also happy to announce that the film Daniel Gordon Gets Physical has been selected by the 32nd International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA), to be held in Montreal, March 20-30, 2014. The film will be screened as part of the Horizons program featuring "the latest films on art from around the world, which take a penetrating look at art in all its forms."
If you happen to be in Times Square at 11:57PM anytime in January, please look up. Because every night in January, for three very precious minutes, Times Square Arts & the Times Square Advertising Coalition will be presenting the work of New York Close Up project artist Laleh Khorramian in the mother of all multi-channel video screenings. They'll be excerpting Laleh's decidedly non-advertising animation Water Panics in the Sea (2011) on an obscene number of screens. (That film was also featured in her first New York Close Up espisode, Laleh Khorramian's Epic Animations.)
Laleh's film is kicking off the 2014 season of Midnight Moment, which in the words of their website is "the largest coordinated effort in history by the sign operators in Times Square to display synchronized, cutting-edge creative content on electronic billboards and newspaper kiosks throughout Times Square every night." Talk about exposure . . . .
A quick post to draw your attention to our most recent film – Behind The Scenes With Mika Tajima. It's the third film on Mika and a very intentional effort on our part to capture the ambition and diversity of her work in one story. Scenery flats, scaffolding, silk screens, Judith Butler, noise music, amateur public speakers, dollying cameras, police cadets, and Charles Atlas are all part of Mika's "production as performance" works. And all part of our latest film.
CAPTION: Artist Mika Tajima in Bushwick, Brooklyn (10.26.12.) Production still from the series "New York Close Up" © Art21, Inc. 2013. Cinematography by Wesley Miller.
Alejandro Almanza Pereda Strikes A Balance. Yes, that's right, one of your favorite New York Close Up artist-heroes is back, starring in the long-awaited sequel to his breakout first film Alejandro Almanza Pereda's Obstacle Course. While not skimping on the action set pieces that wowed audiences in the first episode, this one explores a more contemplative, though no less badass side to Alejandro and his work. Think of it as Empire Strikes Back to Star Wars. And Alejandro is of course Luke. Well, maybe more like Han Solo. Either way, get ready for the sculpture-erecting, Bushwick to Mexico City-hopping, adrenaline rush of the season. And just in time for the holidays.

I got my Diamondback Edgewood after checking out other, similar bikes because I loved the way it felt while riding it, and was apparently too hasty, not realizing that it didn't have a chainguard, fenders, or a kickstand that could be easily gotten and put on!
I think I've found fenders online that'll work, (it's a front suspension hybrid) but I've been told that I can't buy a chainguard for it, and I NEED ONE! I wear street clothes to ride and do city riding, and can't stand my pants hitting the chain, etc.
If anyone knows of a chainguard that'll fit this bike, (and what type of kickstand,) please let me know!

Food programs expand
A local food pantry that once gave away canned goods only has expanded its outreach dramatically in the interim to now serve over 600 people per month.
The once-small program was begun over 20 years ago by Odessa Grant and members of the St. Peter A.M.E. Church of Tunica. First Presbyterian Church in Tunica also got involved early on, then stepped in when Mrs. Grant was unable to continue.

Walkers and joggers will be able to use paths and watch for birds in a redwood forest near Trafalgar that is being preserved from development.
The Central Indiana Land Trust, an Indianapolis-based environmental nonprofit group, has bought 109 acres of the forest off of Hougham Road and plans to open it as a nature preserve the public can visit.
The nonprofit raised $500,000 in donations to buy the land from a family who wants the land to be preserved, executive directer Heather Bacher said. The nonprofit also received a $180,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and donations from multiple local organizations to buy the land, Bacher said.
The land is part of a 4,000-acre block of forest that the land trust wants to preserve to protect certain species, such as the Eastern box turtle, worm-eating warbler and hooded warbler, conservation director Cliff Chapman said.
"It's part of one of our identified core conservation areas. It represents the best slice of central Indiana," Chapman said.
"Some people think Indiana doesn't have great natural resources because we don't have beaches or big mountains. But we're rich in the hardwood forest that we have, and it's really beautiful. People can enjoy and appreciate it before it's all gone."
The land trust's mission is to conserve land either by buying it or by working with landowners to make their land a conservation easement.
In both cases, the land is protected forever from development, Chapman said.
Land that the nonprofit has bought in Johnson County, including the 109 acres near Trafalgar and 77 acres in the Center Grove area, has been dedicated as state nature preserves, meaning the land will be protected under the state's Nature Preserve Act, Chapman said.
State officials must evaluate land to see if it meets certain criteria, such as being home to species whose populations are declining, before it can be named a nature preserve, Chapman said.
If the state decides to make the land a preserve, it will sometimes give the land trust money to buy it, Chapman said.
The rest of the money the land trust uses to buy land comes from donations and membership fees, which are also used to maintain the land, which includes getting rid of invasive species and keeping trails clear of debris, Chapman said. The Dr. Laura Hare Charitable Trust donated $200,000 for the land near Trafalgar, and the land trust plans to name the area the Laura Hare Preserve at Blossom Hollow in her honor.
The nonprofit also develops conservation easements, where landowners donate a portion of their land rights to the nonprofit to preserve the land from development, Chapman said.
The landowners still own and maintain the land, but a conservation easement that says the land cannot be developed, even if it is sold, will be legally tied to the property's title, Chapman said.
The land trust has a conservation easement of 240 acres east of the Trafalgar land, Chapman said.
The land trust and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources have helped protect more than 1,000 acres of land near Trafalgar, Chapman said. The nonprofit does not have a plan for buying more land in the area or working with landowners to conserve it, Chapman said, but the land trust is giving landowners information on donating the land or maintaining it in hopes of conserving the land.
Bacher said the Trafalgar property would likely have been developed because counties around Indianapolis are seeing consistent growth.
"As the counties around Marion County continue to grow, our natural areas are more at risk for development. We want to protect them while we can," Bacher said.
Bacher said the land trust wanted to buy the property to make sure residents can continue to visit the property and the animals that live there can keep their homes, including three species that breed there in the spring.
The Eastern box turtle, worm-eating warbler and hooded warbler live in the forest and are declining in numbers because parts of the forest are being developed, Bacher said. Chapman said the land the nonprofit bought should be large enough for the animals to live on and grow in population.
The land trust also wants residents to visit the forest and plans to use donations to build trails and a parking lot on the land, Bacher said. The trails will be designed in the spring and built by next fall, Bacher said.
The land trust hopes to give guided tours and allow community members, such as boy and girl scout troops, to do projects in the forest, Bacher said.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Thursday the economy is still going through a soft patch and it is still too early to tell whether the Fed has done enough with low interest rates to produce a sustainable recovery.
The Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's chief policy-making group, cut interest rates 12 times starting in January 2001, with the last interest rate reduction of a bold half-point coming last month. That marked the Fed's first rate reduction this year.
"The Federal Open Market Committee, chose, as you know, to embark on an aggressive course of monetary easing two years ago once it became apparent that a variety of forces, including importantly the slump in household wealth that resulted from the decline in stock prices, were restraining inflation pressures and economic activity," Greenspan said in a speech to the Economic Club of New York.
"It is too soon to judge the final outcome of the strategy that we adopted," he added.

Man admits to trespassing on school groundsJuly 09,2013BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man will spend a year on probation after admitting Monday to being at the Southwest Vermont Career Development Center on May 8 in violation of a no trespass order.
Brandon T. Billings, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful trespass. Billings was sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones to serve 45 to 60 days in jail, but all of that time was suspended.
In an affidavit, Deputy Roscoe Harrington of the Bennington County Sheriffs Department said he was notified that Billings was at the career development center, which shares a campus with Mount Anthony Union High School, by the high schools head of security.
Harrington said several students had reported that Billings was sitting on the steps outside the career development center.
Billings had been served with a court order on June 14, 2011, that said he was not to be at the career development center or the high school.
Harrington said when he checked the steps, Billings was not there but video surveillance footage showed Billings had been on school grounds.
According to an affidavit, Billings admitted on May 16 that he had been at the school but said he thought the court order had expired.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.

Selim was very nice and friendly, but I was disappointed by the apartment. The location was fine, but it was not cleaned when we arrived, there were (dead) ants all over the floor, there was a very bad smell in the bathroom that has not gone away for the whole week we were there (it really seems a problem with the drain) and initially there was just one towel per person for an 8-day stay (not even anything in the kitchen). I informed Selim and he came back with some new towels and he cleaned a bit, but still I have to say, my standard of cleaning would not be the same.
The apartment was perfect for a couple, small and cozy. The location was also very convenient: very close to the main street where all the restaurants and bars are and also good for those who like walking- you can reach the old town in 25 minutes or something. For those who do not like walking, it is also easy to get public transportation.
Selim was very helpful, gave some tips what to do in the city, explain very clearly how to get to the apartment from the meeting point (he also walked together with us to show the place) and also had no problems that we came 1 hour later to the meeting point due to the flight delay.
Thanks a lot Selim!

Music lover and Boston University student Joel Tanenbaum did what many other students might do. Using an online file-sharing application, he downloaded some songs and shared them with his friends.
Unfortunately, Tanenbaum did not use one of the Legal Music Sites suggested by the Recording Industry Association of America. Instead, neither he nor his friends actually paid for the downloaded music files. So, on Friday, July 31, 2009, a court jury ordered Tanenbaum to pay the artists' recording companies $22,500 for each infringement for a total of $700,000. Tanenbaum says he was happy not to be fined the possible maximum penalty of $4.5 million.
While some people may download movies, even more people—often
CDs for friends, illegally download music, or share
copyrighted files through Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. In 2005,
420 million single music tracks were downloaded legally,
while 243 million files were illegally downloaded from
P2P services.
While consumers enjoy paying little or nothing for these products, ultimately,
this piracy undermines the people who expend their
creativity and hard work to entertain us. In fact, copyright
laws are not only used to help protect the illegal
copying of entire works, copyright infringement can
also happen when people copy only part of someone's
work, depending on how it is used. Copyrights can
be confusing, but this week's lesson will help you
get a handle on copyright law and issues,
from music to text to graphics, websites, and videos.
the digital age is certainly making copyright issues
more difficult to sort through and resolve, laws
governing copyrights date as far back as 1709 and have
evolved with the times.
For a brief introduction to copyrights, visit the Copyright Alliance to learn more about What is Copyright. Take notes on these definitions and key points. Using your notes, briefly explain copyright basics to a classmate.
Next, discover more about Taking the Mystery out of Copyright. Watch the introduction, Copyright Exposed, and then track the history of copyright milestones in the Files On Record section.
In Reading the Fine Print, you will get a sense of copyright law and where fair use exemptions can come into play. Draft a short list of songs, movies, television shows, or visual artists may have copied someone's work under Fair Use guidelines. How might new media production, sharing, and creative collaboration be different if every remix artist was required to obtain written permission from original creators for every use?
Lastly at this site, learn more about the Steps to Copyright to find out how you can register your own original works. Under what circumstances might you choose to do so?
Check out the Copyright Site, which highlights some examples of copyright infringement court cases that have helped to define some of the grey areas between copyright protections and acceptable fair use practices. Review the cases related to Movies. As you will discover, a number of copyright lawsuits have been filed against producers of popular movies, including The Devil's Advocate, 12 Monkeys, Naked Gun 33 1/3, and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In the Music section, listen to and compare 2 Live Crew's remix of Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" and learn how this case strengthened fair use guidelines. Other music examples have involved Beyonce, George Harrison, Biz Markie, ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, and Vanilla Ice.
Copyright cases have also applied to Web content. One important case involved YouTube, in which arguments on both sides were supported by legal precedents. Other Internet cases involved file-sharing site Grokster and visual search engine Arriba Soft. Also, you will discover how the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), signed into law in 1998, was an attempt to update the Copyright Act of 1976 to reinforce protections for original artists and authors. Safe Harbor provisions attempted to prevent choking of the Internet's Engine of Creation. These provisions essentially protect Online Service Providers (OSP) from liability when user-generated content infringes on copyrighted material.
Now, see how copyrights apply in Web development. Website Protection is an important section for understanding how copyrights may apply to Web Design and Website Links. Some Web designers use open-source applications, and there are copyright cases to Software Issues, like those involving Sega and Lotus.
Think about any of the copyright case examples you found especially interesting. How have the courts helped to clear the air between copyright law and fair use? Do you agree with the court decisions in every case you reviewed? Debate your opinions with other classmates, or write a brief essay stating your viewpoint supported by specific examples.
Beyond news concerning specific legal cases, it's not very often that
people hear about copyright concerns from the people
they affect most, the original creators themselves.

Study Abroad students should enroll for courses according to the following guidelines:
|UCL Course Unit Values
|U.S. Credit Equivalent
|0.5 units
|4 US credits
|1.0 units
|8 US Credits
|2.0 units
|16 US credits
It is your responsibility to make sure that the courses you take abroad will transfer for credit to your home school. Please review your course choices with your academic or study abroad advisor, and submit the online course registration form to The College of Global Studies at Arcadia University.
Every effort will be made to place you in the courses you request. However, neither UCL nor The College of Global Studies cannot guarantee placement in any course. Your first choices may not be available due to schedule changes, time conflicts or cancellations. Alternate course approval and flexibility is extremely important.
Each UCL student is accepted into one or two departments as their admitting department. This is considered your main area of study for administrative purposes.
Third and/or fourth classes may be selected from other departments (exceptions noted below).
Students should plan to apply to one department only and list one alternate department for admission. Only students that have very specific academic needs should submit their application to two different departments. Talk to your program manager if you have questions about this.
The general GPA requirement admission for most UCL departments is 3.3. However, certain departments are stricter and often require higher GPAs for admission.
Students who are enrolled in a Band 2 department as their sole or primary admitting department will be assessed a special course fee. Please see below for more details regarding special course fees.
Please read these notes carefully if you are planning to apply to any of the following departments.
Some British universities, including UCL, divide their academic departments into 2 different fee bands. Band 2 departments are usually science and engineering departments, and the extra fee is due to the costs of labs and specialized equipment and facilities.
Additionally, some specific courses with built-in field excursions may have separately-billed course fees. (Examples of this may include archaeology courses with integrated excavations or earth science courses with integrated fieldwork.) Please carefully read the course descriptions if you are taking one of these courses, and contact your program manager if you have questions. These fees may be billed in addition to any departmental supplemental course fees which may apply.
Please see our fee information for the current cost. Please also familiarize yourself with your personal financial information on the Financial tab of Passport.
Students will be charged Band 2 fees if they are enrolled in a Band 2 department as their sole department of admission, or in the case of students enrolled in two departments, as their first or primary department of admission.
For example:
Band 2 additional fees will be added to student accounts after registration at UCL takes place.
Band 2 fee billing may differ for students from home schools with direct billing arrangements. Contact your program manager if you have questions.
(Subject to change at UCL's discretion)
These departments are subject to change; contact your program manager if you have specific questions. However, you should assume that all science and engineering-related subjects, plus Anthropology, Archaeology, Fine Art, Geography, and Psychology will be Band 2.

"Microsoft is making claims in the marketplace around 4.7 million people have exchanged e-mail from Notes to Exchange and that is just a ridiculous fabricated figure," said Picciano, who took the reins at Lotus in 2008. "Every time they sell a [client access license] they count that as a competitive migration."
The Lotus Software GM says many of the reference companies cited by Microsoft when it made its "4.7 million people" comment in July "are still licensing Lotus Notes technology and still utilizing e-mail and applications from Lotus. They are still utilizing capabilities from other aspects of the Lotus portfolio," said Picciano.Read the full article at: Network World: Lotus goes after Microsoft's 'ridiculous and fabricated' figures

If you are looking for a way to help local Shriners Hospital patients, we can always put your dollars to work.
The Zembo Transportation Fund was established to help provide transportation assistance to our local children who are patients of the Shriners Hospitals for Children. This program is run by the Nobles of Zembo Shrine, in the "Shepherds Unit", who volunteer their time and energy to making certain that patients who would otherwise be unable to travel to the hospital are able to get to their appointments. The travel expenses associated with this volunteer service are paid for through the generous contributions made to this fund. These donations are assisting local families every day by allowing them access to the care that their child needs at our Shriners Hospitals for Children. Donations are accepted year round and are tax deductible. Zembo Shrine's jurisdiction covers patients who reside in the following counties: Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Hershey, Lebanon, Juniata, Perry and York. Lancaster County is a shared jurisdiction. Zembo represents the western half of Lancaster County, while Rajah Shrine represents the eastern half of Lancaster County.
If you would like to help support our patient transportation program, donations can be made payable to the ZEMBO TRANSPORTATION FUNDand can be forwarded to: Zembo Shrine Business Office at 2801 North 3rd Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

Christmas tree!??
We've pretty much always had a toddler at Christmas between my 4 boys. We put the important ornaments up top and then the ones that we don't mind as much if they get broken at the bottom and it's constant redirection...but they get it pretty quickly. You could always put a gate around it too
Beth- Mom of 4 little boys ages 13,11,8 and 4. Baby girl born at home, in the water May 11, 2016!
I agree with mommyof4tx!
I found a cute idea on Pinterest that I am going to try. It's a felt tree with felt decorations for LO to play with. So I plan on diverting his attn to that. :D
best advice... place non-breakable orniments down where your lo can reach (ones you wont mind him playing with) and have him place them on there... dont make a big deal about your lo taking them off, just have him place them back on and tell him how amazing the tree looks and how great he was placing them back...
we usually have a huge tree, this year I am thinking to have gold and purple bulbs with huskie orniments... should be pretty...
good luck with the tree!!!
I actually put a few at the bottom for the kids to fiddle with, either plastic ones, or ones that are my least fave, or musical ones, like where you push a button. Just last Christmas, I completely changed the theme of my tree. Everything is like a knit, like owls, moose, stockings...nthing breakable, and the balls are plastic. Its adorable.

Wife to Dan Nov. 19/05
Same here!! My son is very curious about everything & smart about figuring out ways to get into things he's not supposed to. We are planning on doing same as PP's suggested with ornaments up higher, not decorating bottom, or if we do, things that he can't break or eat. Also we have a fake tree, as yes, eating needles off a real tree is a concern. If you have a real tree, I'd definitely get a baby gate for around the tree. Also recommend if you don't use a gate considering how to anchor the tree so that it can't fall, toddlers have been known to pull down trees. We've also considered putting the tree in our downstairs family room, so that during the day I can hang out with him on our main floor and not have to worry about watching him with the tree. GL!

i'm going all plastic this year. Marino likes to shake things... and i could see him grabbing the tree branches and shaking bulbs down. Thought if i could teach him to stay away for a tree that has cheap plastic bulbs this year... he'd be good next year

Old Saybrook - Restaurateur Jon Kodama said he always knew people liked Dock & Dine restaurant at Saybrook Point, but he never understood how attached they were until Superstorm Sandy almost wiped it out last October.
Now that the restaurant has announced a Friday reopening on the first official day of summer, however, he is getting a swirl of congratulatory messages thanking him for reviving a landmark that some feared would be gone forever.
"It's an iconic place," said Kodama, who has owned the shoreline restaurant since 1987. "It's an important part of Saybrook Point."
But Sandy hit the restaurant, which sits alongside the Connecticut River not far from Long Island Sound, very hard. About 4½ feet of moving water got into the building, knocking over everything in its wake.
"This storm was a doozy," Kodama said. "Everything was destroyed - bars, partitions, furniture. It was scary."
What was worse, Sandy came little more than a year after the restaurant sustained another battering during Hurricane Irene. Irene did much less damage, but the 13,000-square-foot Dock & Dine did not return to serving customers last year until August as extensive repairs were made.
After Sandy, it became clear that the whole season at Dock & Dine was in danger. That's because the front of the building sustained structural damage, Kodama said, and federal flood regulations require structures to be rebuilt up to code if the cost of repairing them is more than 50 percent or the original market value.
After waiting for an insurance settlement, there was no way Dock & Dine would be ready this summer, Kodama figured. So he went another route, taking inspiration from business people at Misquamicut Beach in Westerly who had received permission from town authorities to erect temporary structures where they could serve food this year while they worked on a permanent solution for 2014.
To his surprise, town authorities had no problem with the idea.
"I think we can make this happen," he was told.
So, after a 63-day run at a newly renovated Dock & Dine last year, Kodama and his daughter Mari, general manager of the restaurant, are preparing for another short season. At the end of September - or perhaps as late as Columbus Day - they expect to take the old Dock & Dine down, building a new, smaller structure elevated on piles about 10½ feet higher above the water than the original.
In recognition of the changes ahead, Kodama has made T-shirts with the slogan "Last Summer at Elevation 4.5 (feet)." Another shirt reads "Rise Up to Elevation 15.0 (feet)."
"We can't rebuild right over the water, but we will be right at the water's edge," Kodama said.
Craig Hedges, a workman for Uplands Construction Group in North Stonington who was putting the finishing touches on Dock & Dine repairs late last week, explained that a new deck is being constructed where the main dining room had been.
The deck should accommodate well over 100 patrons, Kodama said, helping to make up for seating lost when the front of the building had to be taken down because of structural damage. Another 180 to 200 seats should be available inside the renovated restaurant, he added, still leaving the facility with only about two-thirds the capacity it had before Sandy hit.
A new bar has been built in an area that had been previously used as a banquet room, as Dock & Dine is downplaying that side of the business.
The reopened business, expected to employ as many as 90 people during the height of the season, will feature all of its most popular items from the past and an extensive menu. The restaurant is on schedule to reopen Friday, but final approval will depend on a town inspection early this week.
Kodama, who also owns Steak Loft, Go Fish and Ten Clams restaurants in Mystic, said he expects a lot of people will come down to Saybrook Point to check out Dock & Dine this summer. Some, he said, will show up out of curiosity, others out of sympathy and support, and still others because they have done so all their lives, for special family occasions.
"A lot of people will come because it will be the last time they will see it as they remember it," Kodama said.

Financial Planning: What Is the Right Price for Advice?
In an industry that has relied predominantly on commissions, setting the right price for financial advice may be fraught with difficulty. Following the federal government's ban on commissions for retail investment products, financial planners face a disconnect between the realistic cost of providing comprehensive advice, and what people think they should pay. In place of commission-based payments are three likely methods – a flat fee, a percentage-based amount or the more precarious pay-by-the-hour model. But with clients choosing a needs-only service, the number of planners is predicted to halve within 15 years. Experts suggest the key for clients and advisers is finding their perfect match.

LOS ANGELES — Multicolored strobe lights, beams and lasers illuminated the makeshift disco stage at the sold-out Greek Theatre on Tuesday for the opening night of Hilary Duff's Still Most Wanted Tour. Packed with Duff fans big and small, the venue became a sea of green glow sticks, which were waved frantically by preteen fans minutes before the young pop star was slated to appear, in hopes of speeding up her entrance.
As an electronic blue board on the side of the stage counted down the seconds to zero, a slightly slimmer and more mature-looking Duff burst onto the stage with her opening number, "Wake Up," the first single and one of three new tracks off her forthcoming hits LP, Most Wanted, in stores August 16 (see "Cheaper By The Duo? Hilary Duff Teams Up With Madden Brothers For New LP" ). She wore a short, black lace spaghetti-strap boho-chic dress; tan knee-high boots (which she ditched halfway through her hour-long set); and chunky jewelry, including a green-and-gold necklace and wooden bangle bracelets. (It was Duff's one and only outfit the entire evening, which was due to a wardrobe snafu — she said to MTV News just minutes before taking the stage that her other outfits had yet to arrive.)
Duff breezed through old favorites like "Come Clean" and "Hide Away" from her two multiplatinum albums, 2003's Metamorphosis and her self-titled 2004 sophomore studio disc, respectively, before segueing into some fresh material.
"This song is brand new and you guys are going to be the first to hear it," Duff said, premiering a second new track, "Beat of My Heart." For the third and final new tune, "Break My Heart," a black screen flashed the words "hate," "love," "pain," "pleasure," "hope" and "trust."
"Now you're through with me, I don't know what to do with me," Duff crooned, as she took a seat onstage near her drummer. "Why don't you break my heart and watch me fall apart … look what you did to me, you got the best of me."
Duff quickly exited, and re-emerged minutes later through the center of the stage, barefoot and energized, bounding about as she tackled the upbeat tune "Rock This World" in front of a screen with a pixilated rotating globe.
"Hey, Los Angeles, stand up! I don't care how old you are — get up!" Duff cried out. As she shifted into "Fly," the stage was soon engulfed in blue and green laser lights that darted into the screaming crowd. Finally, the singer brought the young concertgoers to their feet as she introduced "So Yesterday," one of the obvious crowd favorites of the evening.
"You guys have to sing along to this! No excuses!" she said. "I know you know this!" The throng of fans did not disappoint, shouting the lyrics in unison along with their perky hero.
"Thank you guys so much for coming to my show," Duff told the crowd as the evening started to wind down. "Do you guys want to hear more? Actually, I don't think you guys have been loud enough for me to do more, and you might have to convince my band, 'cause I can't play the instruments by myself." As she was met by an exuberant reply, the singer finally caved to the antsy mob, and closed out her show with a more rocking, albeit lesser-known tune, "Girl Can Rock" from 2004's "A Cinderella Story."
Duff proceeded to exit the stage with her full band in tow, leaving fans waiting, demanding, and outright expecting an encore from their idol, but it never came.
Sorry, kids, not this evening, because as any savvy performer knows, you always have to leave people wanting more.
