A new study by a team of scientists from Italy, France, Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley, demonstrates that the Earth's magnetic field could change polarity in less than 100 years. The last magnetic reversal occurred some 786,000 years ago and was previously thought to have taken several thousand years but, if the researchers are right, the real time it may take for the flip to occur could actually be closer to the span of a human life.Read More
In one of the most astonishing bits of news we've seen in a long time, the iconic Flip video camera was officially pronounced dead earlier this week. Cisco, which paid US$590 million for the business from Pure Digital just two years ago, has decided to kill the entire company. In an unprecedented scenario, the Flip has been killed outright while holding United States video camera sales market leadership (marginally ahead of Sony and roughly double the share of third-placed Kodak). Why Cisco didn't sell the brand rather than kill it is probably more to do with showing analysts it is serious about remedying its ailments, though if I were a shareholder, I'd be asking why some effort wasn't made to extract value from a market leading brand and retaining the jobs of hundreds of people. The good news is that the Flip 4GB Ultra HD is already down to US$130, which makes it a worthwhile buy if your phone doesn't yet shoot 1080p video. Read More
It's humbling, and in fact almost a little scary, when you realize just how far the video quality of mobile phones and pocket camcorders has progressed over the past few years. While features such as their resolution are truly something to behold, they do however have one distinct disadvantage when compared to their larger, heavier predecessors – they shake like crazy. It's a shortcoming that's addressed by the Steadicam Smoothee.Read More
Blue Microphones has arrived at CES 2011 with two new additions to its high quality recording range. The company's latest desktop microphone, the Yeti Pro, is the first USB unit to combine 24 bit/192 kHz recording resolution with analog XLR output, while the US$69 Mikey external microphone for Flip – which includes a mic input jack – will likely be welcome news for fans of the popular pocket camcorder.Read More
Sanyo's new pocket camera clearly takes aim at the Flip, while at the same time liberally borrowing inspiration from its success. The design moves away from previous Xacti gun-shaped designs and adopts a more Flip-like form factor, even including the signature pop-out USB connector from which Flip takes its name. Assuming that Sanyo didn't infringe on any patents here, we're excited that the company sees the value and marketability of simple cameras with few buttons. That was the common appeal of the Flip, and that same simplicity might help Sanyo take a bite out of the pocket-camera/camcorder market. Read More
One definition of the word frustrating is realizing you don't have the right cord for the right job when you need it most - whether it be for an iPod, iPhone or one of the multitude of mobile devices that connect via USB. Presenting a simple yet effective solution to that particular problem is the Scosche flipSYNC, a keychain USB and sync cable about the size of a car alarm remote control.Read More
The Flip portable camcorder has a new form factor. In its first major redesign since hitting the camcorder market, the Flip SlideHD gets more viewing real estate via a touch-enabled 3-inch widescreen which, as the name suggests, slides out, resting on an angle for playback. The new Flip also has 16GB memory for up to four hours of HD video recording, double that of any of its predecessors.Read More
The first major new Flip pocket video camera to be released since Cisco bought Pure Digital earlier this year will go on sale in early 2010. Reports indicate that the as-yet unnamed model will feature built-in WiFi capability and a larger screen.Read More
Of Amazon's top five selling camcorders, versions of the Flip take four of the slots. The 4Gb MinoHD holds fourth position, but things never stand still for too long in the world of gadgetry and the MinoHD has just been supercharged. The second generation model features more memory, a bigger viewing screen with better resolution and a more powerful lens.Read More
Kodak is trying to out-flip the Flip with its latest pocket digital video cam, the Zi8. Aimed squarely at the heart of the hot compact video market, the Zi8 outdoes the Flip Ultra HD with 1080p recording, electronic image stabilization, an SDHC card slot, and an external mic jack. Plus it'll shoot 5-megapixel stills, track faces, and is designed to perform better in low-light conditions.Read More

Collected Stories
Joyce Fox's varied collections reveal what's in her heart.
|LIVING ROOM: The combination of patterned and floral fabrics and blue and white porcelains make Fox's living room a lesson on mixing styles. The desk is 19th-century Italian. Couch and chairs are covered in Cowtan & Tout. Silk draperies are Brunschwig & Fils, mirror is Italian carved wood, wall sconces from Santa Fe, Asian pottery from Beijing and Shanghai. The rug is English needlepoint, and the pillows are antique French Aubusson.
Since then, Fox has spent her life traveling and building collections of her own. "I love different periods and different cultures," she says. "I want to represent the places I've traveled and my many memories as much as I can. Each piece has meaning."
Fox takes two major shopping trips a year, often to Beijing, Hong Kong, Paris, Tokyo, and Thailand. Each time she takes one suitcase for clothing and another stuffed with yards of Bubble Wrap to protect the small, fragile things she buys at flea markets and shops. She ships larger pieces home, and often they arrive so beautifully wrapped in handmade papers and twine, that she can hardly bring herself to open them. This was the case when she visited China for the first time, right after the fall of Communism, and Western tourism was scarce. Everything was for sale the government hadn't yet put restrictions on what treasures could be taken out of the country. Fox bought as much as she could afford and shipped it all home. It arrived months later, in two large wooden crates. Inside, each piece was delicately wrapped in hay and twine, and nothing was chipped or broken. "I was so taken by the beauty," she remembers. "Each packing was a work of art."
FOX COLLECTION: With a last name like Fox, it's no surprise that she receives many of them as gifts from friends and family. The blue and white Herend Fox above was made in Hungary.
When it comes to arranging collections, it's all about layering many different styles and periods, and grouping. "I think after years of experience I have trained my eye to know what will work well together," she says. "Ultimately, color and proportion are key, and the bolder the better."
"I've found that when I have something that is strong and makes a bold statement, I live with it much better over the years. When I have something that just disappears or fills space, I'm not nearly as happy with it," she says. There's nothing shy about Fox's living room, with its dramatic red draperies, red-and-white checked ottoman, chintz covered sofa and chairs, and ornately carved and gilded Italian mirror over the fireplace. An unusual carved steel campaign bed is the centerpiece of the room. In the kitchen, a yolk yellow Venetian plaster wall, makes an exciting backdrop for a grouping of blue and white plates and her collection of foxes, which was started after friends began giving them as gifts. Her small study is audacious and beautiful with its Art Deco look in black-and-white striped curtains and daybed, zebra rug, and black-and-white portraits of her family on the wall.
|KITCHEN: It took seven coats of Venetian plaster to get the color of the kitchen just right. The table is old pine, chair cushions are covered in tapestry, blue and white porcelains collected from England, China, and Japan. Pine buffet is from Santa Fe.
Fox's favorite piece is an intricately made, 19th-century marquetry Italian desk. "I love this desk, and I've had several antiques dealers look at. They've all told me that this must have been the lifetime work of somebody because of the intricacy of the detail," she says. "The person who made this did it with love."

o Each week, The Columbian offers a brief snapshot of an interesting Clark County business. Send ideas to Mary Ricks: email@example.com; fax 360-735-4598; phone 360-735-4550.
Business name: Columbia Title Agency.
President/CEO: Bob Cano.
Address: 5101 N.E. 82nd Ave., Suite 102.
What the business does: Columbia Title is an issuing policy agent for a national title insurance company for all types of real estate transactions. The office's escrow staff also closes most transactions that it insures.
Steps to build the business: The company's focus, Cano said, is to build relationships with real estate brokers, lenders, builders, and attorneys. Its sales team is constantly pursuing new clients through networking and making calls to producers in the real estate industry.
o Each week, The Columbian offers a brief snapshot of an interesting Clark County business. Send ideas to Mary Ricks: email@example.com; fax 360-735-4598; phone 360-735-4550.
Greatest challenge in running the business: The economic uncertainty of the past few years is the biggest challenge the company has faced, Cano said. High unemployment and the decline in family wages are obstacles that affect people's ability to purchase homes, he noted.
What's ahead in the next six to eight months: With near historic low interest rates, the market should continue to show improvement, Cano believes. The lack of home inventory will drive the new construction market upward and prices will rise, he said.
A favorite part of the job: Solving problems, Cano said. Real estate transactions are not created equally, he said, and once in a while challenges arise that need to be resolved before a transaction can close. The company's experienced staff is eager to help customers resolve any issues that arise prior to closing, he said.
Owner's business history: Cano started in the title and escrow industry in 1974 for a large national title company. In 1980 he helped open a privately held title company in Vancouver and worked there until he retired in 2004. In 2005 he was approached by some investors who wanted to open a new title company in Clark County. He saw the idea as an exciting challenge, and opened Columbia Title Agency in December 2005. "It has been the most rewarding career decision that I have ever made," he said.
Year established in Clark County: 2005.
Number of employees: 21.

The trip marks a return to the city of birth for MSU Head Coach Vann Stuedeman and Assistant Coach Alan Reach, while Assistant Coach Beth Mullins comes back to the field she starred on as a member of the Blazers from 2001-04. The game is also a homecoming for area natives Jessica Cooley (Birmingham, Ala.) and Shana Sherrod (Vestavia Hills, Ala.).
With a 13-2 record all-time against the Green and Gold, the Bulldogs will be looking to extend their undefeated record (5-0) at the UAB Softball Field. Should the Maroon and White win Tuesday, they will be two wins away from tying the school-record 16-game winning streak against non-SEC foes set back in 2006.
Led by junior right-hander Alison Owen and senior lefty Stephanie Becker, the MSU pitching staff has been a big reason for MSU's success this season. Owen is 10-4 with a 1.39 ERA and an impressive 137-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio, while Becker is 6-3 with a 2.61 clip and 98 strikeouts. Overall, the Bulldogs own a 1.98 ERA, almost one point lower than last year's 2.88 total.
On offense, the Bully Bombers are anchored by junior slugger Sam Lenahan. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native is raking at a .378 mark, and has already surpassed last year's totals of 21 walks, seven doubles and two home runs with a 2013 tally of 27 base on balls, 10 two-baggers and seven long balls.
The Blazers, who 8-1 in Conference USA, are coming off a road sweep at Memphis this past weekend. Overall, the home team in Tuesday's contest is led on offense by three-hole hitter Whitney Fletcher, who heads the team with a .373 average and four triples. In the circle, the Green and Gold have a trio of starters with seven-plus starts, led by Lauren Webster (7-2) and her 1.15 ERA.
For live in-game updates of MSU's midweek clash, follow the program on Twitter at @MStateSB. For pictures, like the team on Facebook at Facebook.com/MStateSB and visit the team's Instagram account at MStateSB. For pregame and postgame video, check out MSU's official YouTube channel at YouTube.com/HailState.
Following its midweek non-conference clash, Starkville's Team returns to SEC play this weekend for a three-game series against SEC West rival Auburn. The Tigers take on the Bulldogs Friday at 6 p.m., before wrapping up the series with a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday. Admission is free for those that can attend, but for those that cannot, live video and audio streaming of the series will be available online to HailStateTV subscribers (www.HailState.com/hstvlive).

GrainCorp Looks Ripe For Harvest
As one of Australia's few remaining listed agricultural stocks and the country's last traded major grain company, GrainCorp looks ripe for a deal, say analysts.
The company, which specializes in storing and transporting crops, in late November reported bumper earnings, doubling net profit in the last fiscal year to 172 million Australian dollars (US$175.7 million). It's a dramatic turnaround for Graincorp from the situation five years ago when drought saw the company deliver losses of A$20 million over successive years.
Part of Graincorp's attraction is its status as the last man standing in a sector that has attracted such strong foreign interest lately. Australia's strategic position as Asia's bread basket saw ABB Grain snared in 2009 by Viterra. Then Canada's Agrium Inc. teamed up with global agribusiness giant Cargill to carve up AWB earlier this year. That just leaves Graincorp and unlisted Co-operative Bulk Handling, whose co-op structure effectively rules out a takeover.
"Once someone bids for GrainCorp there's potentially going to be a bidding war because it's the last man standing and it has significant assets with market leadership on the east coast," said Belinda Moore, a senior analyst at RBS Morgans, who expects Graincorp to continue its earnings growth this fiscal year. "At some point I wouldn't be surprised if there was interest from large offshore agricultural companies."
A spokesperson for the company was unreachable for comment.
Part of Graincorp's recent success comes because it managed to smooth out wild fluctuations in its earnings caused by commodity prices and natural events by buying the world's fourth-largest maltster in 2009. Now Graincorp plans to expand its United Malt unit to handle about 1.4 million tons of malt in the current fiscal year.
But any move to harvest Graincorp could be a costly endeavor given the performance of its shares. The stock is up about 27% year-to-date.

The Buddy System
Nestled in the Rogue River Valley near the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in southwestern Oregon, Shady Cove is home to fewer than 3,000 people and covers just six square miles. But Public Works Director George Bostic's need for financial assistance is no less important than those of his peers in the nation's largest cities. Adept at identifying potential partners that strengthened funding requests, he successfully lobbied for $2 million in grants from a variety of state agencies to help pay for a major wastewater treatment plant upgrade that included a 50-foot-wide clarifier, tripling the plant's capacity. Photos: Michael Fielding
Above: A coarse screen filter, installed in 1980 and filtering less than 5% of the larger debris at the Shady Cove, Ore., wastewater treatment plant, was replaced with a $120,00 Raptor fine screen filter in 2003. The new filter, purchased with some of the $2 million grant money awarded to Shady Cove, now filters up to 90% of large debris.
Left: His work funded in part by state grants, DuPont contractor Kurt Spingath helped Baker County, Ore., set up plots of the noxious weed medusahead to evaluate the efficacy of a new product that the company was testing. The ATV—outfitted to kill weeds by County Weed Supervisor Arnie Grammon—is one of Grammon's creative ways to get the work done during lean financial times. Most of the area in eastern Baker County is infested with medusahead.
Begin establishing contacts within other local agencies to find areas for collaboration or shared funding and resources. City public works department managers, for example, should know what projects their county counterparts are planning.
"If you make them aware of what you're trying to do, there might be someone at the county who plays matchmaker because they likely have more experience with grants," Ismael says. "Also, be a face at your state capital. Meet with different agencies to talk about what your community is trying to do, not to talk about a particular grant but to talk about potential projects."
Mendoza advocates reading trade publications and attending conferences to learn about grants.
No one knows that better than Bostic, who used to attend several annual conferences, where he met engineers, city managers, and other public works managers as well as the grantors themselves. These days he foregoes those trips to allow his staff to gain the experience.
"If I send two of my operators to Portland for three days, I can figure I'm going to spend $1,500, but it's worthwhile. They learn something, they bring back information, they make contacts," says Bostic, who admits that he'd spend nearly half his time researching and writing grant proposals if the state didn't host meetings with funding agencies.
"You also want to set up a good working relationship with your local enforcement agency, such as the EPA, OSHA or the local health department. They don't want to fine you for not doing something right, so they're going to help you reach your goal," Bostic adds.
Don't underestimate the generosity of local private benefactors, either.
Although the Shady Cove treatment plant didn't receive private funding, Bostic says other infrastructure projects, such as street improvements, have been funded partially by residents.
"Don't try to go to the other side of the world for funding," he says. "It may be in your backyard."
Four ways to win a grant or loan request.
There are the typical funding sources most public works managers know about, such as Community Development Block Grants, and then there are the lesser-known sources that are equally worth pursuing. And chances are that another agency has found a way to get it done.
"The biggest benefit is that I've made contacts with people who are doing the same thing we're doing on a daily basis," says George Bostic, an Oregon public works director who's successfully appealed to both local and state sources for funding. "We learn from them and their mistakes, no matter what size city we are."

On June 1, Rev. Lois Blakey-Paige, pastor of New Canaan Worship Center in Richmond, Virginia preached from 2 Corinthians 5:7, "We live by faith, not by sight." She asked the congregation one question that was also the title of her message, "What Are You Seeing?"
The pastor said, "Many times when we depend on our eyes, our eyes end up deceiving us. You can see a thing, but it is not necessarily the truth." Then she explained that the truth comes from the word of God. If what you are seeing is contrary to the word of God, it is temporal and not the truth.
Then the pastor gave the background of the story of Joseph found in Genesis 37:29-36. Jacob had twelve sons, but Joseph was his father's favorite. Joseph had a dream about his brothers bowing down to him. So, the brothers put him in the pit.
Pastor Paige admonished the congregation to be careful who you tell your dreams ti because all people around you do not believe in your dream. Joseph ended up in Egypt where he became prime minister and his brothers had to go to him for grain. While the brothers tried to kill the dreamer, they did not kill the dream even though they tried to bury the dream.
When what you are seeing looks like it is dead, it's because people are trying to bury it. Know that God is about to resurrect it. What are you seeing...life or death?
The brothers told Jacob that Joseph had been attacked by a goat, Jacob said he wanted to die because of his grief. Jacob was responding to what he thought was true, but God was behind the scenes working things out.
There is a difference between facts and truths. Low economy might be a fact, but the truth is that God will supply all your needs. The ways of God are reliable and will come to fruition for that wayward child, or that bad marriage. God is at way concerning your situation regardless of what you see. Our actions become irrelevant to God's action. So get out of His way.
Don't be convinced by what you see. For we walk by faith and not by sight. What God has for you is so much greater than what you can see.
Finally the pastor said, "Take your eyes off of what you are seeing and put them on Jesus. Your future is not in your hand but in the dream giver's hand. God will help you push through what we have to go through. Just keep your eyes on Him."

This exciting textbook introduces students to the dynamic vibrant area of Cognitive Science - the scientific study of the mind and cognition. Cognitive Science draws upon many academic disciplines, including Psychology, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Neuroscience. This is the first textbook to present a unified view of Cognitive Science as a discipline in its own right, with a distinctive approach to studying the mind. Students are introduced to the cognitive scientist's 'toolkit' - the vast range of techniques and tools that cognitive scientists can use to study the mind. The book presents the main theoretical models that cognitive scientists are currently using, and shows how those models are being applied to unlock the mysteries of the human mind. Cognitive Science is replete with examples, illustrations, and applications, and draws on cutting-edge research and new developments to explore both the achievements that cognitive scientists have made, and the challenges that lie ahead.

Why have all the lesbians gone to Alexandria?
That may be the question on many minds next weekend, when the Birchmere hosts a couple shows with great variety and wide appeal, but featuring a definite lesbian bent.
Chely Wright
The weekend starts early, in fact, with a show next Thursday, Oct. 20, featuring Chely Wright, country's first major artist to come out as gay. The charming, beautiful, Kansas-born Wright must be falling in love with our area, since this is her third area stop since headlining 2010's Capital Pride. It's already her second stop at the Birchmere this year. Opening for Wright is Lucy Wainwright Roche, also making her second stop at the Birchmere this year. Talk about lesbian appeal: Her mother is in the folk trio the Roches, her father is folk legend Loudon Wainwright III, her half-siblings are Rufus and Martha, and she's toured with the Indigo Girls. Who cares if the sweet-voiced folk singer is straight?
And then Saturday, Oct. 22, the Birchmere switches it up, offering a night of cabaret and comedy with the stunning lesbian performer Suede and lesbian standup comedian Vickie Shaw. Suede got her start in D.C. and Baltimore, so the Cape Codder is no stranger to these parts, and Shaw is a Texas-raised spitfire who you've no doubt seen on Comedy Central, if not an Olivia Cruise. Put them together on one bill, and you've got a knock-out of a night.
Actually, if you see more lesbians in Alexandria this Saturday, Oct. 15, you can blame the Birchmere too. Comedian Paula Poundstone will be yukking it up. While the longtime standup describes herself as "asexual," there's no doubt her appeal is quite queer.
As is the Birchmere's. We could certainly get used to it. — Doug Rule
All shows at 7:30 p.m. The Birchmere, 3701 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria. Call 703-549-7500 or visit birchmere.com.

I'm new to Ubuntu and I need to install Groovy graphics builder. I downloaded from here. The site says to do two things :
Drop all jar files into $GROOVY_HOME/lib
Drop the scripts into $GROOVY_HOME/bin
But how to do this? I have installed Groovy in this path :
I guess the site asks me to put(paste) all the downloaded files in
/usr/share/groovy/bin and
/usr/share/groovy/lib respectively as suggested by the site. But when i try to paste the files in
/usr/share/groovy/bin I see the paste command have been disabled.
Since I'm a novice I don't know what to do, can anyone say me how this can be done?
I use Ubuntu 10.04
Thanks in advance.

College Hockey:RIT Splits With AIC
Early Goal Sparks Tigers
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The RIT Tigers (13-10-4) established an early lead with a goal just fifty five seconds into the game on the way to a 5-2 victory over the AIC Yellow Jackets (6-16-4). However, the game was closer than the score implied, as the Tigers only held a slim 3-2 lead with less than three minutes remaining in the contest.
"I thought it was a real hard fought game," said AIC coach Gary Wright. "But then they got a couple of quick goals at the end that took the wind out of our sails. It hurts a little right now, but in a few days I think we will look back on this and see that we came in to a very tough barn and got a split."
RIT got the ball rolling right from the opening faceoff, controlling the puck and setting up in the AIC zone. Stevan Matic battled behind the Yellow Jackets net and sprung free with the puck, then pushed it to Justin Hofstetter at the left point, who ripped a quick wrist shot into the top right corner of the net to give RIT the early 1-0 lead at :55 seconds.
"It certainly was a hard fought game and was two points that we needed," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "It has been a tough four games. [AIC goaltender] Dan Ramirez is playing very well for AIC."
AIC came back less than six minutes later to tie the game 1-1. Taking advantage of a failed clearing attempt, Greg Genovese got off a shot from just below the left faceoff dot. RIT goaltender Louis Menard made the save, but Andy Gevorkyan poked home the rebound at 6:25.
"It was very different from last night," said Wright. "We did get in a little bit of a hole, but fought our way back and had some opportunities. RIT is a very good hockey team, and we knew that they were going to come out hard tonight."
The Tigers continued to dominate play territorially, outshooting AIC 17-8 in the first period. The pressure paid off for RIT when Hofstetter got his second goal of the period at 16:27. Hofstetter slid a low wrist shot along the ice through a forest of skates and put it just inside the near post for the goal.
Special teams took center stage during the second period, as the teams each got a power-play goal. RIT scored first at 9:22 when Simon Lambert swatted in a rebound from just to the left of the crease.
AIC answered back late in the period to keep within reach. David Turco carried the puck to the net, took a shot, and Genovese was the first to the rebound and poked it in for the goal at 17:40.
The Yellow Jackets established a territorial advantage during the third period, taking the play to the Tigers as they tried to tie the game, but it was RIT scoring the insurance goal at 17:13 to extend its lead to 4-2.
Andrew Favot dug the puck out from behind the AIC net and slowly slid it out towards the slot. Simon Lambert won the footrace to the puck and poked it home for the goal.
The Tigers extended their lead at 19:02 when Matt Smith drilled a slap shot from the middle of the slot in to the net to score a power-play goal.

Update, 5:44 p.m. EDT: The latest from Princess is that the fire has been extinguished, but passengers will remain at their muster stations until further notice. The ship is currently operating on emergency power and lighting. We'll keep you posted.
(3:23 p.m. EDT) -- A fire broke out in the engine room on Princess Cruises' Royal Princess at 8:10 p.m. local time on Thursday as the ship was departing from Port Said, Egypt. No injuries have been reported, but one passenger was taken to the ship's medical center after complaining of chest pain.
A statement from Princess says that passengers aboard were called to their muster stations, and fire teams were deployed. All 733 passengers and 393 crewmembers have been accounted for. Royal Princess is currently in the middle of a 12-night Holy Land sailing from Rome to Athens and is now anchored off the coast of Port Said.
Princess spokeswoman Karen Candy said there is no word yet on whether the incident will delay any of the ship's remaining calls in Ashdod (Jerusalem), Haifa, Kusadasi or Patmos Island. Royal Princess is due in Athens on the 25th.
Princess has established phone lines to field inquiries from family members of passengers and crew aboard the ship. For inquiries about passengers, dial (800) 693-7222. For inquiries about crewmembers, call (661) 753-2804.
We'll keep you posted as further information becomes available.

It is the season of love! Before you eat all of your candy hearts and watch The Notebook, the perfect makeup look is essential. Makeup artist Francesca Ortale gave me the scoop on the hottest trends this season. Get ready to look fabulously beautiful this Valentine's Day for the one you love!
Romantic-- Remember gazing into the eyes of your first love? According to Ortale, a "romantic" makeup look is very popular. This look consists of pastel shades, a softer, blended eyeliner, and mauve pink lipstick. Eyelashes should be separated. This makeup trend is supposed to have a natural, whimsical look to it. Cue a handsome prince riding in on a white horse!
Classical-- Sirens like Marilyn Monroe are known for this classic makeup look. This look consists of a classic red lip, nude eye, and clean black eyeliner. Ortale recommends lengthy lashes! "This look is for the woman who wants to be noticed and feel sexy. Red lips are empowering!"
Ortale recommends: MAC red lipstick, Redd lip liner, Chanel Red for a more "blue" look
Sexy-- Remember those smoky eyes a'la the Kardashians? A "sexy" Valentine's Day look is definitely a dark, smoky eye. The unperfected smoky eye is edgy and smoldering. Adding a pastel pink lip will add the perfect balance to your makeup.
Bronze Goddess-- A lightly bronzed skin with a peachy blush and a soft smoky eye will compete this bronze goddess look. A neutral "kissable lip" and beautiful lengthy lashes will make you glow the goddess you are!
Ortale recommends: wispy lashes, Nars Orgasm Blush, Tom Ford Lipgloss
Francesca Ortale has 12 years of experience in both hair and makeup. She has worked with companies such as MAC Cosmetics and L'Oreal Professional. She has worked backstage at fashion shows around the country. She has also done the hair and makeup for models in photo shoots. "I'm passionate, and very particular in my artistry," she said. "I understand how makeup and hair photograph, and I'm always about bringing out the best version of yourself."

Is nostalgia an escape to the past?
Enjoying thoughts of times gone by does focus on what was rather than what is. However, most people don't live in the past, so an occasional trip back to the "good old days" is a pleasurable diversion. This mental process may also provide a valuable perspective on how to more effectively deal with the problems we all face today.
Now that summer is here most New Seniors will, no doubt, have some favorite recollections of their youth. From playing with friends and neighbors to get-a-way cabins by the lake or cottages by the ocean to going to camp or being involved in local activities the time was full but we always wanted to have more things to occupy our time. Over the years, the reality of youthful impetuousness and the desire to be constantly entertained has given way to an appreciation, maybe a yearning, for those easier softer times.
Younger people may look at nostalgia as an older person's day dream. This may be because the young are not far enough away from life's events for people, places and things to have a lasting impact or meaning on them. Another reason that the past is significant is when the product, service or circumstance no longer exists. And, the older you get the more things disappear and the more attractive those memories become.
In due time the Gen X, Y and whatever other generational groups come along will find their own moments of nostalgia. These may be the quiet days before the Internet was invented, remembering their first cell phone, what was "in" prior to body piercing and tattoos becoming popular, or how enjoyable life was before the great recession. Time will reveal what is worth remembering for today's younger people when they become tomorrow's older people.
New Seniors who were born in the '30s through the mid-'40s are considered pre-boomers. While the depression is not stored in their memory banks, WWII is. They remember the war years and the ultimate victories. The coming on the scene of television, 45rpm records, the Korean Conflict, 3-D movies, moving to the suburbs, and the birth of rock and roll were all important events in the lives of pre-boomers.
Boomers did not start arriving until 1946, but they took what their older brothers and sisters had and expanded on it. They experienced Vietnam with its protests, civil rights and the women's movements, plus a whole lot more. They are turning 65 at the rate of 4 million individuals per year and will continue to do so through 2030 until all 76 million of them have attained New Senior status.
What will be nostalgic in the minds of boomers as they continue the aging process? Will it be the historic events such as those mentioned above, those that are frivolous in nature like or strictly personal situations that can be conjured up anytime they want to take a break from the stress and strain of modern life? Whatever the reason remembering the good times can't be a bad thing.

August 20, 2012 marks the return of another school year in Columbia County. The Columbia County Sheriff's Office offers the following health and safety tips and encourages all to be cautious as students return to class. The beginning of the school year is a time when children are at increased risk of transportation-related injuries from pedestrian, bicycle, school bus, and motor vehicle crashes.
Review the basic rules with your youngster(s):
Walking to School
In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider starting a "walking school bus," in which an adult accompanies a group of neighborhood children walking to school.
Make sure your child's walk to a school is a safe route with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.
Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision.
If your child is young or is walking to new school, walk with them the first week to make sure they know the route and can do it safely.
Bright colored clothing will make your child more visible to drivers.
• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride.
• Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.
• Use appropriate hand signals.
• Respect traffic lights and stop signs.
• Wear bright color clothing to increase visibility.
• Know the "rules of the road."
School Bus
• If your child's school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make sure your child uses one at all times when on the bus.
• Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the curb.
• Do not move around on the bus.
• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing the street.
• Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.
• Children should always board and exit the bus at designated locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the school building.
Tips for Motorists
• All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or an age- and size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.
• Do not text or talk on your cell phone while driving.
• Slow down and obey all traffic laws and speed limits.
• Be alert for school zones that have a reduced speed limit at designated times of the day.
• Watch for school buses. Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm indicate the school bus is stopping to load or unload children. State law requires you to stop.
• Keep an eye out for children walking in the street, especially where there are no sidewalks.
• Be alert for children playing and gathering near bus stops and for those who may dart into the street without looking for traffic.
• When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch for children walking or biking to school.
• When driving in neighborhoods or school zones, watch for young people who may be in a hurry to get to or away from school and may not be thinking about getting there safely.
Tips for Parents
• Be a good role model. Always buckle up in the car, always wear a helmet when biking, and always follow pedestrian safety rules. Don't text or talk on your cell phone while driving.
• Supervise young children as they are walking or biking to school or as they wait at the school bus stop.
• Provide your children with bright clothing so motorists can easily see them.
• If your child is under four years old and weighs less than 40 pounds, make sure the child is properly buckled up in a weight-appropriate child safety seat in the back seat. Children, ages 4 to 8, weighing over 40 pounds and measuring four feet nine inches or less should ride in a booster seat. In addition, safety experts advise that all children under the age of 12 should ride in the back seat.
• Make sure that your teen driver understands and obeys all traffic laws. Discourage them from texting or talking on a cell phone while driving.
Tips for Students
• Always buckle up when riding in a car. Be sure to remove your backpack before getting in the vehicle. Never buckle your safety belt with your backpack on.
• Always ride in the back seat. It's the safest place for young people.
• Always wear a helmet and follow traffic safety rules when riding your bike.
• If you ride a school bus, learn and practice the safety rules for waiting at the bus stop, getting on and off the bus, and riding the bus.
• Never wait for the school bus in the roadway.
• If you walk to school, learn and practice the safety rules for pedestrians. It's extremely important for you to use sidewalk when available, look left-right-left when crossing the road, and always walk facing traffic.
• Always cross at cross walks, obey all traffic signs, traffic lights and crossing guard instructions.
• Cross railroad tracks only at designated pedestrian or roadway crossings. Observe and obey all warning signs and signals.
• Do not walk, run or ride your bicycle down railroad tracks. It's illegal and dangerous.
• Teen drivers should avoid speeding and distractions while driving, such as texting, talking on cell phones, eating and adjusting the radio. Teens are also reminded never to overload their vehicle; everyone riding in a vehicle must use a safety belt.
• Be a good role model for your younger brothers, sisters and friends, and help them learn and follow vehicle safety rules.

War Machine had his day in court to face charges in the brutal beating of his ex-girlfriend Christy Mack. The professional fighter formerly known as Jonathan Koppenhaver appeared in a Clark County courtroom to hear the 32 counts against him in the attack that left Mack with 18 broken bones and many other serious injuries. According to ESPN on Wednesday, War Machine faces the possibility of a life sentence.
The former MMA fighter has plead not guilty to charges that include attempted murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, strangulation, coercion and burglary in connection with the August 8 attack on Christy Mack and her friend Corey Thomas. An attorney for War Machine has claimed that the long list of charges is "overzealous prosecution." War Machine is currently being held without bail.
After being on the run for several days following the violent encounter, War Machine was apprehended in an Extended Stay hotel in Simi Valley, California. He was reportedly staying there for several days with an unknown woman. His arrest came after a domestic violence incident at the hotel prompted other guests to call 911.
After the incident, Christy Mack released shocking pictures of her injuries. In a statement, Mack said that War Machine had beat her before but never to this extent. She suffered multiple injuries including a lacerated liver, 18 broken bones in her face and several missing or broken teeth. The extent of damage Christy Mack suffered during the attack has spawned a campaign to raise money for her recovery and treatment. Also, offers for free plastic surgery and dental repair were offered up after the incident.
War Machine is set to return to court on October 17 for a preliminary hearing. The most serious of the charges filed are two counts of attempted murder. One charge for the alleged attack on Christy Mack and another for the alleged attack on Corey Thomas.

Ramazan fest in Gaziantep
During Ramazan, in Antep, the array is even richer with its famous kebabs, baklavas and long-simmered stews.
In Turkey's southeastern city of Gaziantep, Ramazan commences with the stringing of lights between the minarets. Its legendary feasts are open to rich and poor alike, both to strangers and to gatherings of close friends. A crossroads of cultures for four millennia, Gaziantep's unique flavors are a blend of Anatolian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Be the guests rich or poor, the flavors of the Ramazan feast are something else entirely. What's more, if you experience Ramazan in Gaziantep, gastronomy capital of Anatolia, you'll want to come back for more.
With a past going back eight thousand years, Gaziantep has played host to some of the oldest civilizations in human history. Scenting out the natural flavors of its extraordinary blend of Anatolian, Mediterranean and Arab cuisines is therefore a unique experience. Kebab immediately springs to mind at the mention of Antep today. But when you come to this city, whose culinary tradition makes it the capital of the East, you'll soon see that its food, treated as a branch of the fine arts, does not consist merely of kebab. Prepared with an artist's care, meals are transformed into virtual feasts, and the quality of the food in Antep cuisine is measured by the amount of work that goes into it.
As you stroll around the city, it won't take you long to realize that the people here are fond of food. All year round the savory aroma of kebab rises from restaurants at first light, as if in anticipation of the Ramazan breakfast hour. And it is not unusual for kebab restaurants to do a good business from iftar in the evening right up to sahur in the morning. Cağırtlak kebab, a 'national' breakfast of the local people and made of organ meats such as liver, heart and kidney, is a popular sahur dish as well. If you go by what the local kebab chefs say, there are more than eighty varieties of kebab in Gaziantep. Besides interesting ones such as vegetable kebab, potato kebab, garlic kebab, okra kebab, onion kebab and even 'simit' kebab, kebabs made with fruit are another area favorite. Kebabs featuring apples, pears, sour cherries, peaches and loquats reflect a harmony of flavors unique to the local cuisine. Besides kebabs, Antep-style rice pilaffs number among the indispensable dishes of the Ramazan dinner table. The most favored among these pilaffs, in which the rice is first sauteed in olive oil and which are enriched Antep-style with onion, tomato paste, peppers, fruit and a host of spices, are pilaff with meat, 'firik' pilaff made with boiled, pounded unripe wheat, stuffing pilaff made with pine nuts and currants, lentil pilaff, and bulgur pilaff with vegetables.
Ramazan in Gaziantep resembles a giant dinner table set in the Southeast of the country, and there is no doubt that it exercises a pervasive influence over everyday life and eating habits. As Ramazan approaches houses buzz pleasantly with a flurry of activity. The best eggplants, red peppers, berries, plums and apricots are selected and dried, waiting to be used in stuffed vegetable 'dolma', Noah's pudding or simply as stewed fruit. Tomatoes are turned into sauce and cabbages into pickles, and vine leaves are preserved in brine. Spices, which give food its flavor, are chosen with care and purchased from the historic shops in the Elmacı Pazarı. The finest olive oil, the freshest butter, the tastiest bulghur are stored. The pale flicker of sahur lights seeping from houses before the crack of dawn heralds the start of Ramazan. Likewise the long lines that form in front of bakeries at dusk. Bakeries that produce not only the sesame or egg 'pide' flat breads special to Ramazan but which, upon request, will also cook whole trays of food for big families. Like the piping hot, fresh-from-the-oven pide's of Ramazan, 'çiğköfte', a Turkish steak tartare made with highly spiced, raw minced lamb, is another sine qua non of the month of fasting. The brightly lit shop windows where it is being kneaded fresh are your first clue that iftar is only minutes away. Green-hued beams emanating from the minaret lamps are another indication that Ramazan has come. It is customary for Antep people to step outside at dawn to eat 'katmer' or cağırtlak kebab washed down with 'beyran'. Normally made in restaurants and not at home, beyran is available only at breakfast. Made with neck and shin meat left on the bone, garlic, black pepper, rice and salt, beyran is served in a deep bowl with pounded fresh garlic and hot red pepper. Another traditional dish special to Ramazan in Antep is 'yuvarlama', the preparation of which takes days and requires a minimum of three or four people to knead the tiny balls of raw meat with chopped onion, black pepper and rice. Cooked over medium heat with stewed lamb meat on top, this dish is served with thick strained yoghurt.
A sudden bombardment with food could be a shock to the empty stomach after a day of fasting. To prevent this, iftar starts with light snacks. Popular starters are dates or olives. Piping hot pide or lavash, a paper thin flat bread, is served with butter, country cheese, hot red pepper paste, honey and tea, and the main dish is saved for after the evening prayers. Following a short break, the soup is the first dish to arrive on the table. You will encounter in Antep more soups than you've ever seen in your life, many of which are unique to the region. Once the appetite has been whetted with one of these soups, almost all of which are highly spiced, the piece de résistance arrives on the table, which is already laden with dolma's, meatballs, salads and pickles and pastes. Local etiquette therefore demands that one take only a small taste of everything offered up to that point so as to leave plenty of room for the main course, which is usually made with meat and oil. The various kebabs make an ideal choice as well. The regional cuisine also offers many alternatives for the younger generation, who find the traditional stews oily and calorific: tomato soup, 'kabaklama' made with courgettes, and chickpeas, grilled eggplant, kamış yahnisi, and acur muntaniyesi made with yoghurt are just a few Antep-style vegetable dishes that are extremely light and healthful. Green almond stew is one of Antep cuisine's must-taste specialties. Here's how to make it: Soak some chickpeas overnight and add with salt to chunks of boiling stew meat. Then add the pitted and parboiled green almonds. On the side mix one egg and a little olive oil with three cups of strained yoghurt and cook. When the yoghurt begins to boil up, pour over the stew in the other pot and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, drizzle with sizzling oil flavored with saffron and black pepper and your green almond stew is ready to be served!
Classic Antep dishes like beyran, erik tavası, a stew made with greengage plums, lamb, pearl onions and whole cloves of garlic, and şiveydiz, a stew of lamb, leeks, garlic and chickpeas, contain such indispensable local ingredients as bulghur, yoghurt, tomato paste, onion, pistachios, chickpeas, saffron, thyme, mint, cumin, fennel, sumac, sour pomegranate syrup and unripe grapes. Once you've tasted them, it's time to eat and talk sweets, for Antep is as famous for its baklava as it is for its kebabs. The secret of Antep baklava, which is not only tasty but which stays fresh for a long time, is the mixture of milk and semolina spread between the thin layers of dough, as well of course as its being made with pistachios and pure butter. But baklava is not the only sweet in Antep cuisine. Besides güllaç, a pudding rich in pomegranates and made only in Ramazan, there are şöbiyet (baklava with clotted cream), rice pudding, wire kadayif or shredded pastry baked in syrup, zerde (saffron-flavored rice pudding), flour helva with cheese, and semolina helva with pistachios, all of which add prestige to the Ramazan spread. But the most fitting end to a long and pleasant Ramazan dinner is foamy 'menengiç' coffee. Traditionally drunk after dinner and dessert, menengiç coffee is prepared by boiling ground roasted pistachio nuts in the manner of Turkish coffee. In Ramazan, it's hard to imagine a richer variety of food to appeal to both
the eye and the stomach anywhere outside of Antep. Try it. You'll see!

Ryan Seacrest Agreed to Care For Animals Living on Ellen DeGeneres' 3-Acre Estate?
The National Enquirer claims that Ellen DeGeneres would only sell her sprawling $49 million Beverly Hills estate to Ryan Seacrest on the condition that he "agree to care for all the animals that roam freely on the property."
Yes, a "source" for the mag says DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi "had set up dozens of feeding posts for the wildlife when they lived there, and they expect Ryan to carry on the tradition of feeding the animals."
The supposed insider notes that the "American Idol" host "feels a bit like Dr. Doolittle when he strolls the home's massive acreage," but still he "agreed to do what Ellen asked."
The Enquirer's alleged source adds that Seacrest is pleased with his new digs, but says "he didn't realize he was buying a small zoo!"
So, did one of the busiest men in Hollywood really take on yet another job as an animal caretaker?
A source close to the TV personality tells Gossip Cop that while Seacrest is indeed a lover of animals, the mag's story is completely made up.

I wandered for an hour and didn't find much. Covergirl is 25% off so the single eyeshadows should be $2.25 and you can use the $1 off any CG product from the P&G inserts and get them for .25. Also I tried to get the Pampers wipes and the coupons didn't double.

Hi There!
Welcome to the Personal Chameleon!
I haven't even blogged about the Chameleon! At this point, there are several Chameleons in my collection. The Chameleon I have in my collection in almost every size. For me, Personal size is the best size for the Chameleon! It's so nice and soft!
The Personal Chameleon is just recently in my collection. I exchanged it for the Adelphi in Purple, which I couldn't connect with. So, off it went. Back to Denmark!
Currently the Raspberry Chameleon is in my Filofax Rotation Pool. I use it today. In my Rotation Pool are currently;
-Filofax Personal Regency in Black
-Filofax Personal Malden in Black
And there is still room for a fourth Filofax to add to the system!
Of course it's quite a chore to move all your stuff from one binder to another, but I like to keep these Filofaxes rotating. This way, they won't all end up on my shelve doing nothing. Until I maybe find a more dedicated role for one of them. I can see this happen with the Malden in Black. But for now, I'm enjoying him too much, to give him another role.
So, I'm a bit 'in love' also with the beautiful Raspberry color, Mrs. Chameleon has on her! Never understood what the fuss was about, since the Brown an Aqua aren't THAT amazing, but now I do! You just need to have one Raspberry Chameleon in your collection, whatever size!
Filofax: Chameleon
Size: Personal
Color: Raspberry!
In my collection: November 2012
Current use: Filofax Rotation System / Main Filofax/ Me binder
Love this color! It goes so well with all my cute Kawaii stuff! At first I thought I had to compensate all this cuteness with a black colored Filofax, such as my Malden or Regency. How untrue! This goes so well and I love it. I won't abandon my Regency, though.
Really enjoy the vertical card slots! It can hold so much stuff! Unlike Mr. Reggie, who is at his best a little slimmer.
I like putting in all this cute stuff and extras in my Chameleon. The clasp still closes so neatly and it all seems to fit, no matter how much stuff you add!
Do prefer the lay out and pockets of the Regency.
Because I did a pen loop hack on the right, and the pen loop of the Chameleon is placed on the left, It all fits perfectly.
Not stiff and soooo flexible. Kinda nice for a change! It also feels very luscious. Just like the color! Very girly. And sometimes a little girly girly is permitted, right?
For Sale
At this point, there are no Filofaxes for sale, although I am thinking of selling a few. If they do get for sale, you can check it out on my For Sale page. The Filofaxes for sale will be listed there.
Put in an offer!
However, if you do love, love a Filofax I own, you can always put in an offer by emailing me. Maybe we can come to terms, and I'll end up selling one of my favorite Filofaxes to you!

text: Jan 24, 2013 16:02 Southern men set to begin SWAC play against TSU Southern men set to begin SWAC play against TSU Advocate staff photo by HEATHER MCCLELLAND -- Southern University Jaguars basketball coach Roman Banks communicates with the team during the game against the Champion Baptist Tigers in the F.G. Clark Activity Center Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012. MAGS OUT / INTERNET OUT/ONLINE OUT/NO SALES/TV OUT/FOREIGN OUT/LOUISIANA BUSINESS INC. OUT/GREATER BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT OUT/225 OUT/10/12 OUT/IN REGISTER OUT/LBI CUSTOM PUBLICATIONS OUT/MANDATORY CREDIT THE ADVOCATE/ FIRST LAST NAME. MARK CLEMENTS| Special to The Advocate Comments Last season, the Southern men's basketball team finished with its best record in Southwestern Athletic Conference play since 2005. The 13-5 mark was good enough for second in the conference, but the Jaguars couldn't reap any of the benefits of their success because of academic-related penalties. The NCAA had handed down a postseason ban on SU, thanks to substandard scores in its Academic Progress Rate. It was Roman Banks' first season in Baton Rouge, and the newly hired coach didn't limit his accomplishments to the court in his inaugural campaign. In the past year, Southern ranked in the top three percentiles in Division I APR turnaround, making the Jaguars eligible for postseason play this year. "We took the job in a very tough situation, and our penalty was practice time, no postseason play and scholarships," Banks said. "We came in and turned academics around and wrote a waiver to the NCAA allowing us to go to postseason play. We can go to postseason play, but then there's still a three-year period of this probation that we're on. That means that we can't falter." Southern couldn't have picked a better year than now to become postseason-eligible. Now in his second season as Jaguars coach, Banks has Southern sitting at .500 entering SWAC play for the first time this century. The Jaguars (6-6) open league play with Texas Southern (1-12) on Wednesday looking for a winning record for the first time all season. But Banks warned not to look past the Tigers' suspect record. "You're talking about a program in the last four or five years that's been pretty solid in conference play," Banks said. "They bring in a coach of the likes of (former Indiana coach) Mike Davis, and he can come in with innovative and new ideas. With him inheriting the same team with just about all their players back, they come in as one of the best teams in our league with a lot of experience." The challenge doesn't stop there for Southern. After the Texas Southern game Wednesday, the Jaguars have a quick turnaround with Prairie View coming to town Friday. Southern then hits the road to play Grambling on Sunday and Jackson State on Tuesday, giving them four games in seven days. With a brutal slate ahead of the Jaguars, Banks said the biggest key to success is preparation. "The team that has the type of athletes that can bounce back and be able to receive information and process it quickly (will succeed)," Banks said. "That means preparing for people and being able to bounce back with energy every night. We've got to take care of our bodies and be smart about our approach. "Those things you've worked hard for in preseason and things you've had in place that your kids know. Those are the things you have to gravitate to and hold on to to have a chance to win ball games." For Southern, school is still out, which Banks said gives the Jaguars an advantage. "I think that from a mental standpoint, it probably helps a little bit, because these games are coming up and you don't have that big English test or that biology exam," Banks said. "Right now, we need to take advantage of that, because in the next few weeks, we've got to turn back around and got to that." With SWAC play comes a new season of sorts, and new goals. The Jaguars have 18 conference games ahead of them before the SWAC tournament in mid-March, and Banks said Southern still has high goals. "Anybody can say they want to win a championship, but how do you do that?" Banks said. "I asked all my guys, 'What do you want to do?' (They said), 'We want to win a championship.' Every team in the conference wants to win a championship. "There is a certain way you have to work toward being successful in reaching that goal. My approach is simple — let's take it one game at a time right now and see where we are." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Research will be conducted to 1) develop and test simple, low-cost, and accurate methods to obtain fumigant emissions estimates, primarily cumulative emissions. A series of laboratory chamber experiments and mathematical simulations of fumigant fate and transport will be conducted and compared directly to data collected from several field experiments completed during the previous research project. A direct comparison will be made between the existing field measurements of cumulative emissions and the results from the planned laboratory and simulation experiments. Agreement indicates that the simplified methodology provides equivalent information. 2) Laboratory incubation experiments will be conducted to obtain information on the relationship between concentration, temperature and exposure time on several important plant pest organisms (i.e., a nematode, fungi, and weed). 3) Experiments will be conducted and a mathematical model will be used to determine if the control of plant pests can be predicted after soil fumigation based on fumigant concentration and organism mortality relationships. 4) Experiments will be conducted to test a new pest-control approach that uses recirculated irrigation water and a solar collector to increase soil heating.

Earth Day is April 22, and the theme of the 2012 celebration is Mobilize the Earth; a couple Tarrant County parks are giving you the opportunity to mobilize and celebrate with them.
River Legacy Parks in Arlington is helping you celebrate with fun and all the beauty and "earth" the park has to offer. Come to the (main) park on Saturday, April 21, and take part in any or all of the many planned activities. There will be naturalist-led nature walks, crafts, stories, and a variety of other activities, all of which promise to be fun for everyone in the family.
If you've ever been to River Legacy Parks, you know how beautiful it is, and the huge assortment of plants, trees, and wildlife that call it home. What better place to celebrate this great planet we live on, and learn a little something about it too?
The fun begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m., but the park is open before and after, so you can explore and play on your own if you want. River Legacy Parks is located at 703 N.W. Green Oaks Blvd. For more information, call 817-860-6752.
The City of Fort Worth is honoring Mother Earth with the Cowtown Great American Cleanup on April 14. Volunteers from across the city have committed to clean up their little piece of the planet in their neighborhoods, parks, rivers, and creeks.
After the cleanup, there will be an Earth Party in Trinity Park (off 7th Street, near the Police/Fire Memorial). There will be a zero-waste lunch (free!), a live performance by Vocal Trash, a group that plays instruments using recycled items, and exhibitors who will fit you for a kayak, show you how to compost, or teach you how to save water.
Kids may enjoy getting their faces painted, or participating in games; the whole family might want to visit the mobile adoption truck and consider adding a new family member.
The party is free for everyone, so there's no reason not to take part in the cleanup and party afterward!
For more information about the Cowtown Cleanup, including where to take your bagged trash, visit the city's website.
If your city or your favorite park isn't having any official earth day activities, you can still celebrate. Get out in nature, visit a park; look around you and see the magnificence of the planet—I guarantee that will make you want to see her protected and preserved, and that's what Earth Day is all about.
