Help make a child happy this holiday season by donating a present to the Christmas Sharing Tree program, sponsored by The St. James Women of Today.
There is a great need this season for donations. The program has already received 410 requests for help. The generosity of people in the past has made the program a success and there is no reason that can't happen again this year.
"Donations are less than half of what we normally receive. We are hoping for a great turnout this season from the community. If the tags are picked up by individuals in our community the need for monetary funds are not as great," says Sarah Fast.
If you can pick up a tag or two and buy those gifts for the Sharing Tree, there will be less monetary strain on the program.
The deadline to return gifts to local businesses is Dec. 15. At that time, all the gifts brought in will be compared to the list of requested gifts to determine what remains and needs to be purchased.
Gifts will be distributed from Brandt Ridge Friday, Dec. 21 from 4 p.m to 7 p.m and Saturday, Dec. 22 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Alaska's First Utility Scale Wind Power Project to Begin Construction
October 28, 2011
The first utility scale wind project in Alaska, Fire Island, will soon begin construction outside of Anchorage. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in 2012, and is predicted to produce enough electricity to power 6,000 households.
Fire Island will be constructed three miles west of Anchorage, by the project developers, Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI). The island will have 11 wind turbines, with a combined rated capacity of 17.6 megawatts that will produce approximately 51 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity each year.
The final hurdle for the construction of Fire Island was cleared when a power purchase agreement between CIRI and the Chugach Electric Association (CEA) was been approved by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. The power purchase agreement ensures that the wind electricity generated on Fire Island will be purchased by the CEA at a price of $0.096 per kWh for the next 25 years.
Once the Fire Island project is completed, the electricity generated will provide the CEA with about 4% of their total electric load. To learn more about the Fire Island project, read the Oct. 19 CIRI press release.

Citi Chairman: Bank May Add Up to Three Directors
Citigroup Chairman Michael O'Neill said the bank is considering adding up to three more directors to its current board. Citi currently has 11 members on its board.
Mr. O'Neill made the remarks during a panel discussion at the annual International Corporate Governance Network meeting in New York.
A bank spokesman said Citi generally prefers to have 12 to 15 directors. Mr. O'Neill in his remarks didn't provide a timeline for the prospective board nominations and the spokesman declined to comment on the timing for potential new board nominees.
Most recently, Lawrence Ricciardi retired after having served on the board since 2008. Mr. Ricciardi, a former IBM executive, had been chair of Citi's audit committee. He retired after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 72, according to a March proxy filing.
Citi's corporate guidelines set the number of directors "in the range of 13 to 19," although the board has the authority to increase the number of members.

CASTRO VALLEY -- It looks like girls high school jumpers in the state will have to contend with Sasha Wallace in another event.
In only her second long jump competition ever, the Castro Valley High star won the West Alameda County Conference championship title Saturday with a leap of 19 feet, 2¿3/4 inches (wind-legal). Entering this weekend, only four high school girls in the state had better wind-legal marks this season, according to PrepCalTrack.com.
"I didn't really know what would be a good mark for the long jump. I just want to do better each time," said Wallace, who improved by more than a foot from her first competition. She also won the 100-meter hurdles (14.41 seconds wind-legal) and finished second in the 200 (25.40 wind-legal) -- in addition to a triple jump victory Thursday -- as the Castro Valley girls won the championship meet team title with 96 points. Wallace is the defending California Interscholastic Federation state champion in the girls triple jump and 100 hurdles.
The San Leandro girls 400 relay team of Camille Watson, Kortni Smyers-Jones, Nijae Jones and Gabriella Cantrell opened the track events Saturday with a blistering time of 47.05 in the 400 relay. Only five girls high school squads in the state had run faster entering this weekend.
Cantrell also won the 100 (12.33 wind-legal) and 200 (24.54 wind-legal). Jones won the 800 (2:14.70) and anchored San Leandro's 1,600 relay team to victory with an impressive 55-second split. Cantrell added a 57-second split in the leadoff leg for that relay squad, which finished in 3:59.77..
San Leandro's Christian Carter took first in the boys 400 (48.46) and 200 (22.48 wind-legal), and also anchored San Leandro's victorious 1,600 boys relay team (3:25.95). Bishop O'Dowd, which won the boys championship meet team title with 108 points, was paced by double individual victories by Eugene Hamilton III in the 1,600 (4:32.41) and 800 (1:58.49) and Kevin King in the 110 high hurdles (15.67 wind-legal) and 300 intermediate hurdles (41.55).
Hamilton waited until late in both races to make a big move. He moved into the lead approximately 20 meters before the final lap of the 1,600. In the 800, his big kick occurred with approximately 150 meters to go.
"I felt like I was prepared," said the Arizona-bound Hamilton. "I really enjoy both races."
In the 110 high hurdles, King defeated Berkeley's James Traylor, who had the No. 4 wind-legal mark in the state in the event entering this weekend (14.21). Traylor was second Saturday in 15.75.
After fouling on his first two long jump attempts, Castro Valley's Nate Moore faced a stressful situation. If he fouled on his third attempt, he would be eliminated from the event for the postseason.
But Moore, who entered the weekend with the No. 5 wind-legal mark in the state (23-7 1/4) in the boys long jump, jumped at the beginning of the board and flew 23-3/4 (wind-legal) on his third attempt to take the lead. Moore, who won the triple jump on Thursday, passed his final three long jump attempts and won the competition with that mark.

NEW YORK (November 8, 2012)--Democrats and liberal advocacy groups declared victory in what they called a Republican "war on women" and celebrated the defeats of some GOP candidates who took rigid stands against abortion, but the issues including access to contraception and abortion, are far from settled, and social conservatives are already girding for new confrontations.
Anti-abortion leader Marjorie Dannenfelser said Republican nominee Mitt Romney was too defensive on abortion-related issues.
She mentioned Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Indiana s governor-elect, Mike Pence, as potential presidential candidates who'd be more effective.
For activists supporting family planning programs and access to abortion, the election produced a series of triumphs, including the re-election of President Barack Obama.
He won about 55 percent of women's votes.

Unemployment Among Iraq, Afghanistan Veterans Remains Elevated
Unemployment among veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars fell last year but remained far higher than the national average, new figures show.
About 9% of the 2.3 million American workers who served on active military duty at some point since September 2001 were unemployed in 2013, the Labor Department said Thursday. That was down from 9.9% in 2012. Still, it was far higher than the national average unemployment rate of 7.4% for all of 2013.
The decline in joblessness in that group — labeled Gulf War II-era veterans by the Labor Department — mirrored a broader drop in joblessness among all former military service members. The unemployment rate for the roughly 11 million veterans in the labor force, regardless of when they served, fell to 6.6% in 2013 from 7% a year earlier.
The declines occurred because more veterans found jobs, and also because the share of veterans in the labor force shrank.
Unemployment among military veterans has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years. The gap is being driven by more than demographics. Companies, nonprofits and the government have stepped up with new resources and hiring initiatives to help address the problem.
Of the 21.4 million military veterans in 2014, only about half — 51.3% — were in the labor force, meaning they were employed or at least looking for a job. That was down from 52% in 2013. Among the 2.8 million Gulf War II-era veterans, about 80.6% were in the labor force in 2013, down from 80.7% in 2012.
But more veterans were working. The number of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who held jobs grew to 2.08 million in 2013 from 1.87 million a year prior. Among all veterans, 10.25 million held jobs in 2013, up from 10.23 million in 2012.

Niland family carrying on 'attitude of gratitude' by joining Last Mile Ride
RANDOLPH – Connie Niland was a fearless optimist.
So even when her husband died of a massive heart attack on the day of his retirement, she carried forth with his plan to move from their home in Peabody, Mass., to Vermont.
Connie and her youngest daughter Lisa (now Lisa Hill of Bethel) moved to Barnard in 1972 when Lisa was 13 and Connie was 55.
In Massachusetts, Connie had offered guided tours of the North Shore for women, but mostly stayed home with her four children and played golf. In Vermont, Connie went to work as an administrative assistant first at Dartmouth College and then Vermont Law School. She also shoveled the roof, maintained the home and took care of Lisa and the family's horses. The older children were already out of the house.
Connie worked until age 84 and then filled in on vacations. Lisa recalls her mom's intellectually curiosity. "She just had this wonderful curiosity about people and ideas." Connie loved the law school students and computer technology. She learned to Skype and text her older children. "She was as fearless as that as she was with other things."
And she was fearless about death.
Lisa calls her mom a "buddhiscopalian." She read incessantly about spirituality and a relationship with God.
In 2002, she moved from Barnard to an apartment in Randolph on Randolph Avenue, when the home became too much to take care of alone. "She really considered that she had moved from the country to the city," Lisa says.
And Connie embraced her new community. She became active with the Randolph Senior Citizen Center, the Gifford Medical Center Auxiliary and began volunteering at Gifford. "My mother was just so grateful for Gifford and loved that it was such an important part of the community where she had chosen to live," Lisa says of her local hospital.
Connie also continued to play golf into late 80s and was such an optimist that age 90 she took out a four-year lease on a car.
Eventually rheumatoid arthritis and limited mobility would cause her to stop driving, but still Connie lived well and with her constant "attitude of gratitude."
She turned 94 on Christmas Eve last year. After a day of visiting with family and drinking a bit of champagne – one of Connie's favorite – Lisa called to check in. "I'm just sitting here thinking about how lucky I am and how happy I am," Connie told her youngest.
A few days after New Year's she had a stroke.
On a whim, Lisa visited on New Year's Eve day, a Saturday, with Connie's monthly scratch tickets and her winnings from the previous month. "When I got there, she was out of it," says Lisa, who brought her mother to the Emergency Department. She had a urinary tract infection but a CT scan revealed nothing else unusual.
Lisa stayed with Connie in Randolph over the weekend. They cooked, laughed and giggled, and had a great time. On Monday, the day after New Year's, they enjoyed a nice lunch. After lunch, Lisa was rubbing lotion on her mom's face and asking her a question, when Connie failed to respond. When she finally looked up, her face pointed to one side. "I literally had her face in my hands," says Lisa, and "It was clear that she had had a stroke." Lisa activated Connie's Lifeline and awaited an ambulance to bring her to Gifford.
She didn't get better.
"She clearly wasn't progressing. It was just clear that she had a really devastating event," says Lisa, who was faced with the decision of moving her mother to a nursing home.
That Friday, Lisa came to the hospital ready to do just that, but Connie, who "couldn't stand" nursing homes, had made a different decision. She had stopped eating, was growing sicker and was moved to the Garden Room for end-of-life patients at Gifford.
She was there exactly one week until her death on Jan. 13 of this year. The whole family came, all four children, including two or three who stayed over every night, and almost every grandchild. The room, which includes a patient room and family room, was filled with 12 or more people at a time.
"My mother was very gracious and she loved to entertain. She had a steady stream of people (visiting her in the Garden Room), and we were loud. We sat with her and we talked about great times in our family's life and we told the funny stories that we always told when we're together," Lisa recalls.
The family faced no difficult choices. Connie had made her wishes clear in "the most beautifully written Advance Directive."
They brought her quilt from home and other comfort items were provided in a kit from the hospital. The hospital fed the family during their weeklong stay. Connie had Reiki for pain management as well as music therapy from Brookfield's Islene Runningdeer and local hospice singing group "River Bend."
Most importantly, says Lisa, the hospital staff preserved Connie's dignity – an important measure for the family and for Connie who was foremost always a "lady."
"That experience of being in the Garden Room and the support that we had was such a beautiful experience. It just was incredible to us how thoughtful everyone was," says Lisa.
The special services Connie and her family received – the family meals, Comfort Kit and music therapy – were provided thanks to funds raised at Gifford's annual Last Mile Ride – a charity motorcycle ride this year to be held on Aug. 18.
And this year, Lisa, her brother Richard and two friends will be participating in the Last Mile Ride for the first time.
"For us, it's knowing what we received in the Garden Room, we want to make sure we give back a little of that so another family can have an island of calm in the middle of such chaos," Lisa says. "Until you are there you have no idea how much you need and our family was just so overwhelmed with how much (hospital staff) did for us."
The Last Mile Ride is supports end-of-life and advanced illness care at Gifford Medical Center, including free services for patients and their families. This year's ride is Aug. 18. The event also includes a cyclist ride and 5K. Learn more online at www.giffordmed.org or call (802) 728-2380. Participants can register up to and on the day of the event.

Morning MoneyBeat: Has Fed Lost Credibility? Think Again
MARKET SNAP: At 5:55 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures flat. Treasury yields flat. Nymex up $0.04 at $105.90. Gold 0.7% lower at $1357. In Europe, FTSE 100 flat, DAX up 0.2% and CAC 40 up 0.2%. In Asia, Nikkei 225 down 0.2% and Hang Seng closed.
WATCH FOR: Fed officials Esther George, Daniel Tarullo, James Bullard and Narayana Kocherlakota are scheduled to make speeches throughout the day. Darden Restaurants is scheduled to report quarterly results.
As the dust settles from the Federal Reserve's decision to stand pat on monetary policy, there's still plenty of bluster flying around Wall Street about the surprise move.
"The Chairman has lost credibility in our eyes," Mike O'Rourke, chief market strategist JonesTrading, wrote this week, referring to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
"The Fed clearly has work to do before communication becomes a credibly policy tool," said Michael Cloherty, head of US rates strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
"The FOMC shocked markets and harmed the credibility of its efforts at transparency and forward guidance," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc.
For a central bank, credibility plays a key role in accomplishing its goals. While investor frustration associated with the Fed's surprise announcement is understandable, that doesn't necessarily mean the central bank has lost credibility. And judging by markets – where credibility can be measured in prices – there's little evidence that all of this is anything other than pundits blowing off steam.
One specific way to judge a central bank's credibility is through inflation expectations. Those haven't swayed much amid big moves in other markets.
Consider a look at Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities – or TIPS – which reveal investors' inflation expectations practically in real time.
Within the TIPS market, a widely used metric of inflation expectations is the "5yr5yr breakeven," which uses implied inflation rates on five-year and 10-year TIPS to calculate inflation expectations on a longer time horizon.
Barclays' 5yr5yr measure now reads 2.48%. It hovered in the 2.7%-to-2.9% range from January through the spring, but took a turn lower beginning in May when Chairman Ben Bernanke hinted the Fed could start dialing back on stimulus this year. It fell as low 2.2% in July before recently bouncing back.
In a conversation with MoneyBeat, Michael Pond, inflation market strategist at Barclays, said the 5yr5yr is currently trading at levels roughly in line with the Fed's inflation targets. It's not signaling runaway inflation or deflation. And it's also not suggesting the Fed has lost its grip on this market.
The currency markets are another place to look for judgment on a central bank's credibility. While it's a bit trickier when it comes to the dollar, because of its reserve currency status, the dollar was basically flat on a trade-weighted basis Thursday. The greenback stabilized following Wednesday's decline.
No sign of a loss of credibility there either.
It's understandable for some investors to say they were misled by the Fed about its policy intentions (though even that is debatable). But a loss of credibility?
The markets suggest that's just not the case.
Morning MoneyBeat Daily Factoid: On this day 40 years ago, a $100,000 winner-take-all tennis match took place between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. The nationally televised match was dubbed as the "Battle of the Sexes." Ms. King was victorious, taking the match 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.
-Steven Russolillo
Apple is expected to dominate tech news on Friday with two new smartphones arriving at stores, giving an early read of demand for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C as the company's strategy comes under increasing scrutiny.
This latest launch comes as a critical test, given the reversal of fortune of Apple's share price over the past year. On Sept. 21, 2012, Apple stock hit a record high of $705.07. Since then, it has been mostly downhill as Apple's share of the global smartphone market continues to shrink, in part due to its emphasis on high-end models. Apple's stock closed at $472.30 on Thursday, up 1.6%.
Tesla Motors is likely to remain in the limelight after its stock rallied 7% and hit a record intraday high of $180.47 on Thursday. Dan Galves, lead analyst for Tesla at Deutsche Bank, raised Tesla's price target to $200 and maintained his buy rating.
Microsoft shares are likely to be active following its analyst meeting late Thursday. The software giant didn't provide further details on its search for a successor to Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, who announced in August that he will retire within 12 months. Microsoft shares rose 1%.
Fed's Guidance Questioned as Market Misreads Signals: "Federal Reserve officials created new uncertainty about how much farther they will push their easy-money policies—and new questions about how effective they are at communicating their thinking—with the decision to stand pat on the pace of their bond purchases for now."
A Day After Surprises, Investors Fret: "A day after stocks surged to new highs on the Federal Reserve's decision to stand pat on monetary stimulus, some investors were having second thoughts."
J.P. Morgan Officials Face SEC Probe: "The SEC is still investigating a number of J.P. Morgan Chase officials in connection with the 'London whale' trading debacle, even as the bank agreed to pay about $920 million in fines over the matter."
Fed Cheers Emerging-Market Borrowers: "The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to keep its stimulus program at full speed is a green light for emerging-market borrowers to sell bonds."
Companies Seize on Rate Reprieve to Issue Bonds: "Companies took advantage of the Fed's surprise decision to maintain its pace of monetary stimulus, selling at least $7 billion of bonds Thursday."
MoneyBeat: Investors Add Up Costs of Getting Taper Bet Wrong: "From dollar bulls to gold bears, many investors were left counting the cost Thursday of betting the Federal Reserve would start unwinding its stimulus program this month."
Heard on the Street: Fed Applause Should Give Pause: "The Fed's surprise move will send prices higher for a lot of risky securities. But with the day of reckoning only postponed, investors should be picky about the risks they take."
India Central Bank Raises Key Rate: "India's central bank surprised markets by raising its key lending rate by a quarter percentage point Friday, in a bid to guard against inflation fueled partly by the local currency's sharp fall against the dollar in recent months."
Ahead of the Tape: Investors Shouldn't Drool Over Darden: "Stroll into one of over 2,000 eateries operated by Darden Restaurants Inc.—it owns Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse and other chains—and you at least know ahead of time what to expect on your plate and check. Unfortunately for Darden's investors, that sort of predictability doesn't extend to its financial results."

An independent group is looking at the idea of buying Burlington Telecom from the city, a spokesperson for the group said.
BT provides cable, internet and telephone to Burlington residents.
The results of research and planning will be presented on Thursday, Dec 13 at 7 p.m. at Edmunds Middle School.
A survey by the group found Burlington residents supported saving BT from a takeover or losing it entirely, the spokesperson said.
The purpose of the meeting will be to get people active and devise a plan, the spokesperson said.
BT took $17 million from the city's cash account, sending the city's credit rating sharply downward.

Deficit and depression -- that's how many describe the Detroit Public School System.
Robert Bobb, the district's emergency financial manager was assigned to dig it out of what's grown to a $327 million hole. He testified in Lansing on Wednesday asking for the state's help to avoid bankruptcy; but some lawmakers are skeptical about the state's responsibility to help save Detroit's Public School System.
"We can cut the deficit to zero but at the end of the day what would the school district look like?" asked Bobb.
Bobb has made layoffs, outsourced services, even closed schools. But also on his watch: the deficit grew by $100 million and enrollment is steadily declining. But he has a plan, he just need's the state's help. He's proposing that the state essentially co-sign Detroit's debt thereby giving them a shot at better repayment options.
"By enacting legislation, it wouldn't cost one dime," said Bobb. "Burden is not shifted to the state."
But Democratic and Republican lawmakers are still skeptical.
While there is no financial obligation passed on to taxpayers, there is risk, "You wouldn't come to us if there wasn't risk," said Rep Tom McMillin (R-Rochester Hills).
"Until we're able to stabilize the DPS system, we can't really talk about how children are educated," said Rep. Lisa Howze, (D-Detroit).
Lawmakers say the catastrophic problems that preceded Bobb should not be an excuse.
"When you're given a situation you need to be able to access it, own up to it and move from that point forward," said Rep. Howze.
Despite the deep hole that DPS has fallen into, Bobb remains optimistic.
"With the strong academic programs we've put in place, if those plans were to conitnue for some period of time, I actually believe this --- DPS will emerge within the next five years as one of the strongest public school systems in the nation," said Bobb.

MINISINK — A federal commission issued another blow to those opposed to a planned $43 million natural-gas compression station, denying a request to re-hear arguments against building the Millennium Pipeline Co. project.
On Friday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a 45-page decision denying and dismissing requests for a re-hearing from community members.
But the decision isn't deterring residents, who said they're now free to bring the fight to a federal court of appeals.
Minisink resident Mike Mojica, who along with others filed for the re-hearing, said dissents from the 3-2 decision bolster some of their arguments for denying the request. He said they've been denied due process, despite the decision. "We're liking our case, so far," said Mojica.
For more than a year, some Minisink community members, fighting under the name Minisink Residents for Environmental Preservation and Safety, have opposed the plan to build two 6,130-horsepower compressors and a pair of exhaust stacks 52 feet tall.
They've argued it would hurt nearby home property values and the environment, and isn't appropriate for the rural neighborhood.
Mojica said they'll be asking the court for a total reversal of the order — and if they win that, a deconstruction of the work that was begun on the station in October.
The station would connect to an interstate natural-gas pipeline that extends across southern New York from an interconnection in the west with National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation at Independence, to a connection with Algonquin Gas Transmission at Ramapo.
Millennium spokesman Steve Sullivan said if the weather holds up, the company plans to finish the station by the first quarter of 2013.

Wednesday marked the anniversary of a storm that has almost been forgotten.
Five years ago, Ivan slammed into the Gulf Coast. But it has largely been forgotten, because of the damage Hurricane Katrina did a year later.
Eddie Ivy was in Meridian working for the newly established Homeland Security Department during Ivan and remembers the local impact that included damage to local homes and businesses.
"It was a pretty significant storm at that point," said Ivy. "Really, looking back, it was a very good preparation for what was to come a little less than a year later."
Also in the area for Ivan was our own Wade Phillips. He worked for a station in Georgia at the time and was helping sister station WMBB in Panama City with their coverage.
"I remember standing on the beach for the better part of two days and watching it come in, watching the waves as they got closer and closer to me, and watching them get bigger," said Phillips. "Watching the winds get stronger and feeling like I was going to get blown away any minute. It was an experience every reporter ought to have at least once."
This reporter had just moved to Tallahassee, Fla., and was dealing with the largest tornado outbreak that area had ever seen, thanks to Ivan. I was the only source of information to my family in Pensacola during the pre-dawn hours as Ivan cam ashore.
Hurricane Ivan was the sixth costliest hurricane ever, causing more than $13 billion in damage to the U.S. It also took the lives of more than 120 people, either directly or indirectly.

Weekdays on NICK
Use the rim of a round glass to shape the bread and cheese slices into circular pieces. Cut a piece of bread crust into two 3/4-inch rectangles for the eyebrows. Cut the black olive into two 1/8-inch circles. Cut the red pepper into the mouth and tongue shape. Spoon the cream cheese into a plastic resealable bag. Snip a small corner from the bag.
Spread the mustard or mayo in a thin layer on top of the bread and place on a plate. Arrange the cheese slices, using the photo as a guide, to make Mr. Grouper. Add the orange cheddar fins on either side of sandwich. Pipe 2 ovals as the eyes with the cream cheese. Add the black olive pupils, next add the red pepper mouth. Add the green lettuce as seaweed.

Where can I purchase uniforms for a JR NBA league?
The best place for youth organizations looking for nba/wnba licensed uniforms is probably russell's newly launched website where you can find a team dealer.
This is my first time visiting ihoops and I think it's great. The instructional videos are very informative. As a basketball lover and the father of a basketball lover I am learning alot to teach alot. Keep it comming. iHoops Nuf Respec!
I think you all should add more information about teaching kids how to shoot lay ups, there are many high school players who can't shoot a lay up with both hands because they weren't taught when they were younger.
My son is 13yr old boy living in NYC and wants to play AAU basketball. How can i find out about locals teams and tryouts?
Probably the easiest way is to go the AAU web site and go to the sport of "Basketball" then search for the state you lives in (NY), then you should also see regional or state directors who are responsible for and represent geographical areas sort of like "Commisioners". Those individuals should have listings how they can be contacted. They will be able to direct your son to a team in his area. Another option would be to speak with a local high school coach or the closest recreational center or even as a last resort, talk with a local college coach and ask for their assistance. At the very least, I'm sure they will promote their school's basketball camp this summer. Just some options to consider!
I have a rashard lewis jump shot. My shot does go in, but I want to change it because it doesn't really look that pretty. SO how can i change it? Form shooting won't help me. When i try to practice with a new form, the rhythm does not feel smooth. Please help me.
i have checked all your videos, but it doesn't really help me.
Being a 8th grader at Perry Meridian Middle School an playing basketball an coming to this website was amazing I've always wanted to play collage basketball at Uinversity of Indianapolis since I was in the 4th grade an have been practicing with coaches there an this website will just make me a better basketball player mentally and physically all around I would give this website a 9 out of 10 stars.
Thanks for reading,
Shelby Smith
Shelby - thanks for the feedback. We're glad you like the site. Be sure to check back often as we are working hard to continue to improve the content. We will soon have 3D animations to help you with your skill development as well as a fun mobile application and contest.
Keep working hard on the court and in the classroom and strive to make all your dreams reality.
Ihoops has helped me with many things, but i would like to see more things about defense, because that is what wins championship, but other than that this is great it has helped me with my jump shot. I play for rigby junior high and we are 11-0!
I really like the website, and I am glad that something like this exists. However, most of the content on the site seems fairly basic. If possible, I would recommend articles and videos for more advanced players. I coach with a 7th grade travel team, and I would like to be able to recommend this site to my players, but most of the drills here are things that they have been doing for years. Otherwise, I think this is a great site and I look forward to seeing it grow.
Man, I think this is a great site, especially for basketball fanatics like myself. I think that it was a great idea 2 start a site for people interested in the game of basketball. I just made my account so I still have to find out how the site really works but I think that the site in general was a great idea.

The shoes are green and white and have Ray's signature graphic on the tongue. They will be released in select Boston area locations, including Niketown Boston (where people have been camping out for 4 days to get the shoes -- now that's dedication) and CNCPTS in Cambridge. They are also available online at finishline.com. More pictures after the jump.

Pontypridd's treble challenge is all but over with the devastating news that British & Irish Cup semi-final opponents Leinster A have changed their name to Leinster B. Under a little known tournament directive brought in by the IRFU, this disqualifies the semi-pro team on grounds of indecency, compelling double Heineken Cup champions and current Pro12 league leaders Leinster to take up the tie.
"Typical – we expected them to bring in a couple of ringers but to change the entire team is taking the piss!" claimed Ponty coach Geraint Lewis. "They've got 1,052 caps across their side, and that's not even counting any of the South Africans. We had a few ringers planned as well mind, but I may as well phone Pete and Rob Sidoli right now and tell 'em not to bother…"
"This administrative oversight is very unfortunate and we can't understand how it might have happened or who could have been motivated to make such a mistake," said County Kildare, a Leinster spokesperson. "Tournament regulations for such a heinous offence set the penalty at 1 Euro, but I think we're likely to appeal it."

Hi , i 'm french so excuse my little english.
I update qcad with the new version and i have some suggestions about it , first the dimension (radius or diameter for circle) to have the possibility of putting the dimension text inside or outside of the circle just to improve the visibility when there is some entity in this circle.
The second suggestion is about the snap tool , the autosnap is good but sometimes it will be better to choose 2 or 3 or more snap possibility in the same time to avoid some snap point that's would be genant to snap at the entity correctly .
Otherwise qcad stay a very good software , simple and very effective , I do not regret having purchase it .
Thanks for listen me

Promoting health in concrete terms is a central task of Fonds Gesundes Österreich. Thus far, more than € 25 million has gone into supporting 542 projects (approved/recommended up to now). Check out our project database and see for yourself the variety and quality of these initiatives.
We support and fund the following in the fields of health promotion and primary prevention:
- Practical projects and scientific projects based on a holistic concept of health,
- Development of structures,
- As well as networking and continuing education.
In these efforts, we rely on high-quality and varied projects and programs to reach the maximum number of people having a wide range of needs.
Basically speaking, our support goes only to projects involving total funding of more than €10,000. We are open to acting as co-funder of practical projects, in which case we generally provide one-third to at most two-thirds of the verified total costs. Model projects constitute the only exception to this rule: In areas of health promotion and primary prevention heretofore underrepresented in projects, we can award model projects following a tender procedure. The latter are fully financed by us.
Please be informed that all other pages of the section "Project Funding" are available in German only. In addition please be aware that projects within Austria are eligible only for funding by the Fonds Gesundes Österreich.

I would like to suggest that in future revisions,there be a behaviour option, to display blocks either in the layer hey are drawn in the block, or in the layer they are placed on the drawing.
I do architectural plans, and at present i have to have multiple versions of the same block drawn on different layers, say a door to be removed, a new door or an existing door.
Because all of these doors are in different locations on the plan, one could not just create one block with the different layers drawn 3 times over and manupulate layer display - it just would not work.

In front yards and car windows, "For Sale By Owner" signs can be seen in nearly every neighborhood.
Thanks to an expanding array of websites, appraisal tools and advertising mediums, people are more capable than ever of selling their homes, cars and valuables without the help of a professional.
It is important to consider all of the factors when deciding whether to sell on your own, say the experts, since time constraints, legal know-how and more can all affect how smoothly self-selling will go.
"I think one of the biggest problems trying to sell something on your own in today's world is what sort of clientele there is," said auctioneer Keelan McLeish.
As the owners of McLeish Auction Services, McLeish and his father, Charlie, have been selling everything from property to antiques to cars for almost 30 years.
Self-sellers can be targets for people trying to run a scam by taking advantage of their lack of experience, explained Keelan McLeish.
Fact Box
Tips for selling
on your own
Pick the best medium for advertising your product, whether it be a website, classified ad or local signage.
Be aware of scam artists and trust your instincts if an offer seems off.
Know your time constraints; make sure you have enough time to communicate with buyer and make the transaction.
Be honest about your product.
Be wary about exchanging phone numbers or sharing your address with potential buyers.
Wading through all the callers who were not serious buyers was one of the biggest hassles Marietta resident Myron Callihan said he experienced when he and his wife sold their Lowell home on their own last year.
"Ninety percent of the people who called us wanted to do a land contract. We weren't interested in doing a land contract," said Callihan.
Land contracts are similar to lease-to-own type agreements, where the buyer would make payments to the seller until the home was paid in full.
Additionally, owners selling their own property may not have as much time to put into showing their home to prospective buyers.
The process of staging a house -making it look good to prospective buyers - can take a lot of time, said McLeish.
And "for sale by owner" (FSBO) sellers do not have the same advertising reach.
According to the website for the National Association of Realtors, most realtors will not show FSBO houses.
In addition, FSBO homes are not allowed to be listed on multiple listing systems, which show houses from all registered realtors, said the site.
There are websites, such as www.forsalebyowner.com, that allow sellers to list their own homes for a fee. However, the Callihans chose to advertise the good old fashioned way -with a yard sign and occasional listings in the Bulletin Board.
"We didn't get as much exposure to the market as if we had gotten a realtor," Callihan agreed.
But for the Callihans, who had no hard timeframe for selling their house, the benefits of not having to deal with a realtor or pay a typical 6 percent realtor commission outweighed the convenience of a fast sale.
"We weren't in a hurry to sell it. I don't see the need to get a realtor involved if you don't have a timeframe," he said.
And Callihan would be willing to sell a home on his own again.
"I find it much simpler to deal with the lending institution and the people you're selling to," he said.
But some people find the opposite is true. Marietta resident Carol Pore is selling her home on Harmar Hill with the assistance of realtor Allison Donahue of Cranston Real Estate because she finds it much easier.
"I wouldn't want to do it myself. Let the experts handle it," said Pore.
Pore went through a realtor to sell her home in Florida and was very pleased with the experience, she said.
"It went faster than expected," she said.
Realtors can help home buyers sell faster by giving them tips to stage the house, like decluttering, and leaving just the right amount of personal effects to help potential buyers envision their own personal life being played out there, said Donahue.
Another way people are sidestepping the professionals is by selling their own vehicle.
Marietta resident Justin McElroy, 19, recently sold his 2002 Chevy Impala on Craigslist after several local dealerships offered him much less than what his car was worth, he said.
"I just didn't want to get low balled by some of the businesses around here. I knew I could do it on my own," he said.
McElroy listed his car on the free classified advertisements website for the first time five or six months ago, but didn't get any serious offers, he said.
He listed it again last week, realizing people would soon be getting tax returns, and the response was almost immediate, he said.
"I listed it Wednesday night, got a call Thursday morning and met (the buyer) that night, and she bought it on Friday," said McElroy.
He was able to get almost double what the local dealerships had offered.
However, said McElroy, it is important to keep one's guard up for potential fraud schemes.
"It seems like every time you get on there you are going to get at least one to two scam responses," he said.
When he sold his boat on Craigslist last summer, McElroy got a call from a man claiming to be in the military. He wanted to send McElroy a check for the boat, but refused to talk to him on the phone.
"You always have to make a face-to-face transaction," McElroy said.
Sellers who sell to other individuals can face liability issues, warned McLeish.
"Your car, it could run perfect for you for years, and the first time you sell it to someone else it breaks down," noted McLeish, who holds a vehicle auction every month.
When a dealership buys the car, they have the expertise to check all of the mechanics, and the responsibility falls on them. But individual buyers might not have that know-how, and sellers have to be very careful not to hide or misrepresent anything, said McLeish.
"If we advertise something, we have to take responsibility that we researched it and are telling the truth," he noted.
When it comes to getting rid of smaller items, garage sales have been around since, well, garages. But the advent of online sales sites like eBay and Craigslist have made it easy for people to market their unwanted household items to exactly the right audience.
Marietta resident Erica Brisker, 25, and her husband have been using Craigslist for around six years.
The website has such a wide audience that responses from potential buyers are almost instant, said Brisker, who has sold everything from cars to phones and from furniture to baby items on the site.
"You get some wheelers and dealers. You have to wade through the offers," warned Brisker. "But it's a good way of putting an ad out there."
Brisker's husband also uses eBay, which unlike Craigslist, takes a small percentage of the proceeds from a sale.
"For smaller items, it is a very little amount," she said.
The benefit of eBay is that is has a secure payment system, it closely monitors both buyers and sellers for fraudulent behavior, and it allows you to sell items to people who live far away, said Brisker.

The minutes from a July 15 Kahoka, Mo. Board of Aldermen meeting offer more than a glimpse of the agreement Marceline City Manager Luke Lewis has been laboring to make with the other six members of the Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA). Consisting of the Cities of Columbia, Kirkwood, Hannibal, Fulton, Marceline, Centralia, and Kahoka, this group of MPUA members agreed to purchase approximately 113 megawatts from the generation capacity of the Prairie State Energy Campus in Illinois back in 2004. What seemed like a sound investment in Marceline's energy future then has since become a money pit due to cost overruns. As Lewis has stated in a letter to the Marceline City Council, "All information that has been provided to the City of Marceline since 2004 has led us and the prior administration to believe that Prairie State is a good investment and very well could be...in 15 to 20 years...Unfortunately, the City of Marceline, with its small $8 million operating budget, cannot sustain this for two years, let alone 10 years."
As reported recently in the online news source, Prairie State Coal Plant Tracker, a "Prairie State Update" provided at a July 15 City of Kahoka Board of Aldermen meeting by Kahoka City Assistant Jim Sherwood revealed that "the City of Marceline is asking to be excused from their contract with Prairie State because they do not have the funds to continue to lose money on the project." Sherwood continued, "The remaining Cities would have to split Marceline's cost under the contract if another buyer is not found." The Prairie State Coal Plant Tracker elaborated, "Mr. Sherwood further stated that Mr. Duncan with the MPUA is negotiating with the Missouri Public Energy Pool [MoPEP] to purchase Marceline's four megawatts of electricity, with Marceline paying $20,000 per month for the next four years, and the remaining Cities agree to relinquish the test energy funds, which the City of Kahoka's portion would be about $40,000." The Kahoka Board of Aldermen then gave "general consent" to Sherwood "to vote 'yes' for the negotiated sale."
In the wake of these revelations, we contacted Marceline City Manager Luke Lewis for comment. This is what Lewis had to say:
"I don't want to sever my ties with MPUA. The City of Marceline wants to remain a member of MPUA. We want to settle this amicably. I met with the City of Columbia last week; they fully support our desire to get out of this contract."
Adding that his visit with the City of Columbia "went very well," Lewis elaborated, "The only reason the City of Marceline is desiring to be allowed to exit this agreement is purely financial. This is a business matter and doesn't involve personalities. We can't sustain an annual $1 million to $1.5 million loss. We can manage $240,000 annually. I'm hoping this can be resolved amicably."

Apodaca: Voter ID bill moving ahead with ruling
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 2:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 2:41 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A key leader in the North Carolina General Assembly says voter identification legislation will pick up steam again because the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.
Senate Rules Committee Chairman Tom Apodaca said Tuesday a bill will come out next week now that justices have ruled a key provision of the federal law cannot be enforced unless Congress changes rules on which areas of the country still need to be monitored.
A voter ID bill was approved by the House in April but has sat in Apodaca's committee ever since. He said Senate leaders were waiting for Tuesday's ruling before moving ahead. The ruling means any statewide election law does not need advance approval from federal attorneys or judges before being implemented.

Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, will be the host for the commissioning ceremonies of USS MINNESOTA (SSN-783) on September 7, 2013, at the United States Naval Operating Base in Norfolk, Virginia. The submarine's sponsor, Mrs. Ellen Roughead, the wife of the former Chief of Naval Operations, will preside over the ceremony. After commissioning, the USS MINNESOTA will be the tenth VIRGINIA Class submarine to join the fleet and will be homeported in Groton, Connecticut.
The submarine will be the third ship to bear the state name. The first USS MINNESOTA, a sailing steam frigate, was commissioned in 1857 and served during the Civil War, remaining in service until her decommissioning in 1898. USS MINNESOTA was part of the first battle of 'ironclad's', the famous battle between USS MONITOR and CSS VIRGINIA. In fact, the sailors of USS MONITOR placed their ship between the MINNESOTA and VIRGINIA, likely saving MINNESOTA from destruction. The second MINNESOTA (BB-22) was commissioned in 1907. On December 16, 1907 she departed Hampton Roads as one of the sixteen battleships of the Great White Fleet sent by then-President Theodore Roosevelt on a voyage around the world. She continued her service through World War I, and was decommissioned in 1922.
When commissioned, MINNESOTA will be the most powerful and capable submarine in the world. With her crew of 135 officers and men, she will perform a broad spectrum of open ocean and littoral missions. She will be armed with torpedoes and missiles, attain a speed in excess of twenty-five knots, and operate at a depth exceeding 800 feet.
Individuals interested in learning more about USS MINNESOTA and her commissioning ceremony are encouraged to visit the Navy League of the United States, Twin Cities Council web-site at https://ussminnesotassn783.com.

Weaver Riser Tri-Rail Mount
$ 17.99
Weaver Riser Tri-Rail Mount - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
This thing is so cool!!! I attached it to my UTG AK-47 WarHawk and it works great! It's super easy to install, it comes with really detailed installation instructions, which helps a lot, but I still think anone could do it without instructions. This rail mount is great for attaching ANYTHING on your gun, I've alternated between my 2 scopes, laser sight, and my tactical flashligh. It works great! And anything you put on, stays on. It's also really durable too!
I've dropped my gun quite a few times on the rail, but it didn't break, snap, get loose, or scratched! This also gives my gun a real, tactical, but practical look to it, and if I jus want a smooth, clean, plain look to my gun, I can just take it off! It's that simple! I really love this rail, it's a great product and comes highly reccommended! This definitely earns it's five stars!
Hope this helped!
- This Is The Best AccessoryTHIS THING IS AWSOME! BOUGHT THIS FOR MY M4. I THEN ADDE A 4X32 MIL-DOT SCOPE AND A TACTICAL FLASHLIGHT AND A LASER. THE LASER DOSEN'T WORK BUT IT LOOKS A HELL OF A LOT COOLER. BEST THING YOU CAN BUY FOR AN M4/M16.
- cost-effectiveThis is good if you don't want to shell out $80-$100 for an R.I.S. system, and want lots of accessories, like alot of people do. Shorty should sell ALOT of these.
- This is the best rail out therethis is teh best rail, it looks really nice on shotties and m4's!!! Buy IT!
- A must have for any M-16/AR-15 varientI absolutly love this rail system. This has become probably my most invaluable accessory for my AR-15 (ICS M4A1). However, you will need to get a scope or a red dot sight to affix to the top rail. I have one swatforce lightsystem (by UTG) and I may even get another for the other side. As my Title states, A must have for any M-16/AR-15 varient.
P.S. be sure to have a removable carry handle on your gun.
- This thing is awsome!i love this thing, i bought the scope that only goes into this rail mount, and now that i bought this my sniper rifle is almost dead on every time buy it and u will love it
- UBER COOL :)Some people really like to add Accessories to their gun and this is really helpful to them. Also you can add this to guns that don't have a rail so that you can add a scope or whatever you want to it. It is made of Aluminum so it actually is even strong than most rails on different guns. It is great if you need more space and is fairly inexpensive. It is also very easy to install. Worth it all the way.
- DUDEi used this for mky crazy cool idea of mounting a foregrip to the side of my gun cuz i couldent find ne nice cheap AEGs with a side mount so i used this to mount one on the side which looks frickin insane dude get this
- sweet for extrasworks fine on my m7 but i but i broke that now now i just have the rail. still cool.
- I love itIts really really useful. I use it on my Classic Army m4 and its really really great! I attatched a flashlight laser and scope to it and now my m4 is a LOT more useful. Buy it, cause its cheap, useful, and great if you want attatchments.

Shooting a picture of a polar bear in the distance.
My name is Hayley Gilbert, I'm from Annapolis, Maryland, and I'm a senior at Broadneck High School. This September, I was chosen along with 12 other students from around the world to attend Polar Bear Leadership Camp. This camp is run by Polar Bears International, which is an organization dedicated to saving polar bears and educating people on the plight of the polar bear due to climate change. At the leadership camp, I joined students from places such as Australia, California, Canada and Tennessee. We stayed in tundra buggies, right on the Hudson Bay in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Tundra buggies are about the size of a school bus, but with 5 foot tall wheels. During the week that we we're out on the tundra, we learned about climate change, and what each of us individually could do to help save the polar bears.
I became interested in photography at a young age, mainly because of my dad. He is a photographer, and has always inspired my to go after what I love doing. While I was up in the tundra that week, I was able to get some amazing shots of what it is really like up there. I loved that I could use my pictures to get a message across to people that weren't there with me or able to understand what I was there doing. Photography has been a passion of mine for a long time, and I love showing my work. I had such a great opportunity participating in this camp, being able to be 10 feet away from a polar bear (above them in the buggy of course!) and getting the pictures that I did.
I founded a company called Polar Bear Nation with my brother and sister. We are triplets, and started this company 3 years ago. We donate 50 percent of our profits to Polar Bears International to fund a scholarship for students like me to go to the tundra and participate in this Leadership Camp. It is truly an amazing experience and it has changed my perspective of how we directly affect the polar bears' habitat.

Kea Holiday Cottages
In the heart of the Royal Duchy of Cornwall, our Kea holiday cottages are scattered about this sprawling parish, a mere mile southwest of Truro. They're a great base to discover the county's many delights on short breaks and longer stays.
Attractions near our Kea holiday rentals
Number one attraction is the City of Truro, within walking distance of most of our Kea holiday lets. Explore its hidden backwaters, laden with tempting shops and places to linger over lunch or tea and cakes. Admire the magnificent cathedral soaring high above the rooftops - with luck you'll hear the world-famous choir. Build a Greek Temple, make a Mummy, nose at wriggly specimens and meet a Cornish Giant at the Royal Cornwall Museum. Or enjoy a night at the theatre. Truro offers something for every taste and age.
And there's lots of other car-free sightseeing, too, thanks to the fantastic network of ferry services on the River Fal (pick up a Fal Mussel Visitor Card for discounted, hop-on/hop-off travel). A big highlight is Trelissick Garden, reached by ferry from Truro. Set on a private peninsula; expect amazing water views, exotic plants, woodland walks and creepy crawlies.
Another ferry takes you to the idyllic fishing village of St. Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula; another to the great seafaring town of Falmouth, home to the National Maritime Museum. Otherwise opt for a lazy day touring the banks of the Fal and nearby Carrick Roads, with the chance to spot everything from small, wild creatures to big ships at Falmouth Harbour.
A good deal to look forward to on a cottage stay in Kea!
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages to rent in or near Kea.

James E. Holmes appears in Arapahoe County District Court, Monday, July 23, 2012, in Centennial, Colo. (AP Photo/Denver Post, RJ Sangosti, Pool)
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- A judge has postponed a court hearing for the man charged in the Colorado movie theater killings after his attorneys said he was taken to a hospital for unspecified reasons.
Court documents filed Wednesday said James Holmes' condition rendered him unable to be present for a hearing that had been scheduled for Thursday.
Holmes' attorneys declined to give details on his condition at an emergency hearing on the request to delay the court date. But defense attorney Tamara Brady said it wasn't something that would be resolved by Thursday.
The judge said that was enough information for him, and he granted the delay.
Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and injuring at least 58 others by opening fire in a crowded theater July 20.

Hello, I am Becky Carlberg, gardening enthusiast from Southeast Oklahoma. I have degrees in Biology from Eastern Oklahoma State College and Oklahoma State University. Teaching, research work, and competing in art shows then followed. I earned my Master�s Degree in Plant Pathology from OSU and continued graduate work on a Doctorate of Botany at the University of Oklahoma.
With my family, we twice had an opportunity to live in Europe. We were in England for five years and then later in Germany for seven years. It was an excellent education for our sons. I returned to gardening, writing and art, became a Master Gardener, as well as an Oklahoma certified Master Naturalist. I am the gardener in charge of the Shawnee Japanese Peace Garden, a member of the Deep Fork Audubon Society, and now call my five acre Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Oklahoma Wildscape outside Shawnee home.
My name is Linda Workman Smith. The first step of my gardening journey began in the hills northwest of Van Buren, Arkansas, where my parents�both from farming families�raised seven children.
This is not to say that I�ve always had a love for gardening although over the years I�ve managed to keep my hands in the dirt. In 2000, my husband�s employment brought us to Shawnee where we settled on two acres west of town. Being unemployed for the first time in many years�and planning to stay that way�I started gardening on a small scale.
I have been a member of the Multi-County Master Gardener Association for several years and thoroughly enjoy being in the organization. I now have many flower beds and I�ve expanded my gardens to include lots of vegetable varieties, several fruit trees, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and grapes. Every year I try to plant something different. I don�t grow a lot of any one thing, but a little bit of lots of things!
Sage Gardening Advice from the Multi-County Master Gardeners
April 28 2013 Blog
Becky Emerson Carlberg
Ready for more wildflowers appearing on the scene? Cut leaf Evening Primrose (Oenothera laciniata) is beginning to bloom. Close to the Japanese Garden the shorter, but more impressive large flowered Missouri Primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) is in flower along the newly installed airport boundary fence.
The tall shrubby Rusty Blackhaw (Viburnum rufidulum) is rubbing elbows with the oaks just now leafing out. It is decorated with white groups of flowers and makes quite a show within trees still very bare and leafless. Along the road grows Scrambled Eggs (Corydalis crystallina), a wildflower that looks as if someone carelessly slung eggs around its main axis.
Wild onion (Allium canadense) is popping up, looking every bit like chives. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is now shooting up and heading. This is not a native grass, as it was introduced from Europe the late 19th century as a forage crop, but is now very invasive in areas it finds suitable.
I hate to report that after our rains, at least 4 small-mouthed salamanders (Ambystoma texanum) were found stranded and dead on the road. They were probably washed out of the ditches they inhabit during the high waters. For any pictures of the afore-mentioned flowers, shrubs, grasses or salamanders, just copy the common or scientific name and Google images. Now let's switch gears.
May Day is nearly here. In the northern hemisphere May Day has been celebrated since ancient times. In Rome, the Floralia, a festival honoring the goddess Flora, was first held 240 B.C.E. It was all about the cycle of life, drinking and flowers. The Latin word "flos" means flower. In today's world, flora is a list of plants in a certain place or time.
Hexennacht (Witches Night) comes the night of April 30th in Germany, directly opposite our Halloween on the 12 month calendar. This day comes with bonfires with celebration of new life and spring, while our Halloween comes with bonfires with life slowing up and preparing for winter. The witches and demons come out at night in honor of their Sabbath, flying from the Brocken Mountain, tallest mountain in the Harz Mountain range in north central Germany. They try to prevent the "Queen of Spring" from entering the country. In earlier times, broomsticks were hidden away, sacred salt was scattered over the house threshold and pentagrams were placed over entrances.
Now-a-days, in the early evening of April 30th, the children make their rounds, looking for empty flower pots or umbrellas to hide. They ring doorbells, put mustard on door handles and decorate with toilet paper. Far into the night after the young ones have gone to bed, the older tricksters emerge. They are far more creative. One year all our patio furniture was reassembled on top of our garage, complete with a few flower pots and our heavy swing suspended from a frame on chains. That took some time to retrieve.
Young Germans in many villages erect the Maypole the last day of April, usually a fir tree with all the bottom branches stripped off. The pole is decorated with ribbons and craftsmen's trade ornaments like pretzels for bakers or sausages for butchers. The youth bring their sleeping bags and spend the night protecting the Maypole as well as stoke the bonfire that burns through the night.
Spring is welcomed the morning of the 1st of May (May Day). The festival is celebrated also in Sweden, Finland and Bavaria. Present day May Day is a day of fun, with elaborate picnics laid out as families observe the first day of spring in the Northern latitudes and look forward to the approaching summer. My mother remembers May Baskets, a tradition in which a handkerchief or small paper basket or cone is filled with sweets or spring flowers and hung on a neighbor's doorknob. A quick knock on the door or ring of the bell, and the deliverer runs off quickly. A great way to say "Welcome Spring"!
Another name for the night of April 30th is "Walpurgisnacht". Who is this Walpurgis? Walpurgis is another name for Saint Walpurga, born in Devon, England in 710. She was the daughter of a Saxon prince who lived and studied at the convent of Heidenheim from the time she was 11 years old. Heidenheim had a reputation for both discipline and holiness. Years of training gave Walpurga great literary skills, and she has been called the first female author in both Germany and England. At this time Walpurga's uncle, Saint Boniface, was traveling about, establishing monasteries throughout pagan Germany. A group of nuns, including Walpurga, were on one boat in route to a site when a terrible storm came up. Walpurga kneeled on deck and prayed. The seas calmed. The sailors proclaimed it a miracle.
Walpurga was known for her kindness, virtue and prudence. She was later appointed abbess of Heidenheim. She died in February about 777 to 779, and was interred at Heidenheim. Heidenheim fell into ruin after many years, and in the 880's her remains were moved to Eichstatt in Bavaria (after she appeared in a vision to the bishop. Workers had desecrated her grave).
Her bones were put inside a rocky cave, but soon began to drip oil, said to have healing properties. Pilgrims began to visit her shrine, and to this day oil continues to flow. After canonization, she became known as the patroness for hydrophobia (rabies), storms and sailors. May 1st was set to commemorate Saint Walpurga. Her day was to purposely replace Beltane, the time European pagans celebrated the start of the spring/summer season.
Anyway, get out your paper, scissors, glue, and create a cone. Go pick some flowers, stuff them in the cone, and sneak over to your neighbor's house to leave your Spring greeting. Depending on your neighbor, you better run faster than light.
