This is an excerpt from reporter Scott Johnson's blog, which focuses on the effects of violence and trauma on the community. Go to www.oaklandeffect.com for updates on his reporting.
Last week I spent an afternoon with a support group for victims of violent crime. The group is called "1,000 Mothers to Prevent Violence" and it's organized by a well-known Oakland activist named Lorrain Taylor.
Thirteen years ago, Taylor's 22-year-old twin sons, Albade and Obadiah, were shot and killed while working on a car in Oakland. Ever since, Taylor has dedicated her life to trying to stop Oakland's violence. Once a month or so, she gathers with people who have lost someone to violence in Oakland. This last meeting took place in a quiet church on a Saturday afternoon, less than 24 hours after four people were gunned down in the city. That very day, even as we were talking, 11 more people would be shot.
That day, the group wanted to discuss the idea of justice. One man, whose name I won't reveal, talked about his son who was murdered not long ago. He said he knew who the killers were. He told us their names. He said he had told the police what he knew but they hadn't acted on his information. He knew every detail of their lives -- who they were dating and where they had been on the day his son was killed and what they had said and to whom they had said it. "Let me ask you," he said, "Why aren't they doing anything?"
A woman spoke up in response to his question. She held up two hands. "You have to understand something," she said, "There are two things going on here and you need to separate them. If you don't, you'll drive yourself crazy." She explained how, in the aftermath of a shooting, there was a desire for vengeance. That desire often translated into an obsessive focus on the minutiae of the case as it wound its way through the justice system (if it wound up in the courts at all). "You have to realize that justice is separate from grief," she explained. "You have to let yourself grieve, and you have to let justice take its course."
This was hard, some of the others said, because the Oakland police had such a poor clearance rate on homicides. How could they expect justice if there was no reasonable expectation that the killers would even be nabbed? Taylor questioned whether spending $250,000 on an outside adviser to the police department -- in the form of "supercop" William Bratton -- might not be better spent on a few, lesser-paid forensics specialists who could increase the department's clearance rate.
"Did you know four more people got shot last night?" said one mother, whose 21-year old son was shot last August while sitting in his car.
Taylor hadn't known.
"Oh dear God," she said. Then she spoke of how after the mass killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School she hadn't been able to get out of bed for three or four days.
"Each time something happens it throws me back down," she said, and people began to nod. Two women started to cry.
A grief counselor who helps Taylor run her sessions began to speak. He told the others that sometimes, if they felt the need, they should just scream. "You've got to let the anger out," he said, "otherwise it's going to eat you up and then one day you'll just snap, and believe me, you don't want that to happen and neither does anybody else."
The counselor then told of how he was in East Oakland the other day, talking to a small child, maybe 8 years old, who had been scared by some of the recent violence.
"Be safe," the counselor told the child. The child responded, "I can't be safe, because even safe's get broken into."
Sometimes the tears turned into laughter, then back to tears. "I get so mad in court sometimes my face starts doing all kinds of strange things, and I can't control it," said one woman, who came to the group because her best friend, a single father, recently lost his only daughter. She was 15 years old, killed on a street in the middle of the night. She contorted her face and showed us what she looked like. "I don't usually look like this," she said. "I usually look refreshed, but these last six weeks ..." And she trailed off.
Taylor talked about the seven stages of grief. She said she was stuck in the first stage -- shock -- for years. When she told the group she was still trying to heal 13 years later another woman spoke up. "It never gets better," she told the newcomers. "Nothing will ever be the same. Ever."
"But you're safe here," Taylor said. "You can come here and you'll be safe."

Anderson Cooper will be financially shut out when his incredibly rich mother goes to that big fashion design house in the sky.
Cooper recently said he won't inherit any money from his mother Gloria Vanderbilt's $200 million fortune, according to the New York Post.
The CNN host told Howard Stern on his radio show that his 90-year-old mother, the great-great-great-granddaughter of the railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, has told him he gets nothing when she dies -- and he doesn't seem to care.
"My mom's made clear to me that there's no trust fund. There's none of that," Cooper told Howard Stern on his radio show. "I don't believe in inheriting money ... I think it's an initiative sucker. I think it's a curse. Who's inherited a lot of money that has gone on to do things in their own life? From the time I was growing up, if I felt that there was some pot of gold waiting for me, I don't know that I would've been so motivated.
"I'm doing fine on my own, I don't need any," he said.
Right ... he's just going to have to squeeze by on the $11 million that CNN gives him every year.
According to the Post, the 47-year-old lives in a converted firehouse in Greenwich Village and also has a Hamptons estate in Quogue. He signed a contract extension in November that will keep him at CNN through the 2016 presidential election.
Vanderbilt reportedly inherited most of her wealth from her father, Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, an heir to the Vanderbilt railroad fortune who died when she was barely a year old. Cooper's father, Wyatt Emory Cooper, was Vanderbilt's fourth husband and died in 1978 from a heart attack.
Cooper said he likes to focus on his father's life rather than his wealthy ancestors.
"I've never paid attention to it, honestly, like my dad grew up really poor in Mississippi ... that's a healthier thing to pay attention to than like some statue of a great-great-great-grandfather who has no connection to my life."
Easy for the guy with a second home in the Hamptons to say.

The Campaign for America's Libraries Trademark Use Policy
@ your library® is a registered trademark of the American Library Association. The Campaign for America's Libraries can only be a success if libraries across the country-and across the world-use the trademark consistently in accordance with the following guidelines.
Updated July 2003
In May 2003, the American Library Association was informed by its law firm Jenner and Block that the brand @ your library is now officially federally registered for association services. As such, @ your library will now appear in any and all ALA materials, and should appear in materials produced by local libraries involved in the campaign, with an ® mark as in: @ your library®.
Libraries currently using the ™ symbol in conjunction with @ your library on promotional materials do not have to discard those materials. However, in any and all new materials created, libraries are asked to use the ® mark. The following is an update to the campaign's trademark policy.
Libraries, state library agencies, state library associations and other library organizations may use the @ your library® brand as follows:
- The typeface is American Typewriter Medium Weight.
The preferred color for @ your library® is red and blue, with the "@" in red (PMS 032) and "your library" in blue (PMS 072).
A secondary color option for the entire phrase is black and/or white.
- If neither of those color options work, tasteful alternatives are acceptable.
- A ® symbol should follow the phrase @ your library.
- It violates the registered trademark to insert a word or phrase into the logo such as "@ your ALA library®" or @ your library media center®."
- Libraries may use the brand on signage, brochures, Web sites or other promotional materials or on merchandise intended for sale at the library (such as gift shops) or at a physical location within the community served by the library, but not through mail order, e-commerce, or other distribution methods.
- State library agencies, state library associations and other library organizations may use the trademark on signage, brochures, Web sites or other promotional materials designed to promote libraries, or on merchandise to be sold at libraries and other physical locations within their state or immediate geographical area (such as state conferences). These organizations may sell through mail order, e-commerce or other distribution methods but only to their members and/or to groups they represent within their state or immediate geographical area. It is the responsibility of the state agency, state association or library organization to ensure that all of its members use the brand in accordance with the provisions listed above.
- Any other uses, and any use by parties other than libraries, the institutions of which they are a part, and library organizations, are subject to the prior written approval of ALA.
- Libraries and library organizations are welcome to submit a written proposal to ALA to develop a special licensing agreement for the sale of @ your library® products outside of these provisions. Please send your written proposal to The Campaign for America's Libraries, c/o ALA Public Information Office, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611. Fax: 312-944-8520. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Using the @ your library® brand correctly
The @ your library® brand is being used by all types of libraries throughout the United States and even in other countries. It is the visual element that holds all of the campaign's components together.
Famous trademarks include the McDonalds® golden arches and Got Milk®? Just like these two trademarks do for their organizations, @ your library® lends a distinct feel to The Campaign for America's Libraries to help break through the clutter of competing messages received daily by our target audiences. And just like these two trademarks, @ your library® needs to maintain a consistent look in order for it to be effective. This means that all libraries all throughout the world must use the brand as it is trademarked.
Spelled out, "maintaining a consistent look" primarily means:
- Using the correct font (American Typewriter Medium Weight)
- Using the words exactly as they are trademarked-"@ your library®"
- Always including the "®" symbol following "@ your library®" when using the correct font.
Examples of not using the brand correctly are as follows:
- @ your HOMETOWN USA library (inserting words into phrase)
- @ your SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER (inserting words into phrase)
- @ your library (no registered trademark symbol)
- (using symbol with incorrect font)
In order to help ensure that all libraries use the brand correctly, the American Library Association has made the @ your library® logo available for free downloading.

"Let's vote on it." To most people
that sounds like the ideal way to solve any issue. But it can also be
one of the most dangerous.
In 1967 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Loving v. Virginia was a landmark civil rights decision. But a 1968 Gallup poll documented that 72 percent of Americans opposed interracial marriage. Had America voted on the issue in 1968, civil rights would undoubtedly have been defeated.
On November 7, 2006 Americans in several
states will vote on ballot initiatives concocted and promoted by the
leaders of the evangelical Christian Right and their Republican sycophants.
Increasingly, their incestuous relationship is being exposed at the same time their so-called
"values voters" are fading into history. The Christian Right
is slowly but surely dying, and for good reasons. But apparently they want to kill an independent
judiciary before they go.
Examples were provided in an October
17, 2006 article titled "Judicial Activism
Prompts Citizen Efforts to Restrain Judges"
Pete Winn, associate editor of Citizenlink.com, a propaganda organ for James Dobson's Focus on the Family theo-political empire:
South Dakota's Amendment E is the most ambitious measure – it would allow residents to sue judges over their decisions. Grand juries would be convened, and judges would face removal from the bench if they were found guilty of an infraction.
Montana voters, meanwhile, must decide if they want … the right to have recall elections if they should become "dissatisfied" with a judge.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Suing judges? Isn't the almost endless
appeals process enough to correct any errors made?
Recall elections? If a jurist is elected,
isn't the normal election process good enough for those who become
"'dissatisfied' with a judge"?
Or are these and other measures just
the latest examples of efforts by the leaders of the Christian Right
to bring the courts under their control by using the "sheeple"
to do the dirty work for them: an all too common practice Cindy Rodriguez
exposed with courageous clarity in her Denver Post article: "
There's a reason followers of the reactionary James Dobson are called "sheeple."
As chairman of the $145 million-a-year propaganda organization Focus on the Family, Dobson is the ultimate puppet master, giving conservative members of Congress marching orders in exchange for votes from his flock. …
By manipulating religious teachings, Dobson represses his followers with a reactionary societal code: Get married, stay married, procreate and – most important – donate your money to Focus on the Family.
The more his listeners believe, the more easily they can be exploited. That explains why many of those listeners – hardworking middle-class people who are struggling with bills or caring for elderly loved ones – vote against their own interests.
Instead of voting for the party that created the 40-hour work week, workers compensation, and has been pushing for universal health care, they vote for the party of James Dobson: members of Congress who for nine years have refused to increase the minimum wage above $5.15 an hour, yet accept automatic pay raises for themselves each year. …
There is no proof that Democrats knew about Foley's lurid instant messages, but two Republican congressmen, John Boehner of Ohio and Thomas Reynolds of New York, have publicly stated they told House Speaker Dennis Hastert about it months ago.
So wouldn't a person of strong moral values at least chide Hastert for his inaction?
Nope. Not when you are a puppet master of members of Congress who use the name of God to pass laws that take away civil rights in exchange for campaign contributions and the promise of votes from the flock. A man of real moral values would urge Congress to increase college Pell grants, expand work training programs, and offer struggling working-class families subsidized day care.
Instead, he vilifies gay people as people who are destroying marriage. Dobson talks about having a pro-life agenda, but never speaks out against the deaths of more than 2,700 American troops in Iraq, or against capital punishment, which is really a euphemism for state-sponsored murder.
The sad part is the sheeple don't see the hypocrisy and don't realize they're being used. [links added]
In his book Marriage Under Fire,
James Dobson told the sheeple that if gay Americans were allowed to
enter into the state-sanctioned social contract called "marriage," the world would end:
"The culture war will be over, and the world may soon become 'as
it was in the days of Noah.'"
Dobson was not alone in using scare tactics
to herd the sheeple. Following the Massachusetts Supreme Court's 2003
decision that "equality" meant "equality" for all citizens
in relation to all civil institutions, even the one called "marriage,"
Steve Crampton, Chief Counsel of the Center for Law and Policy, the
legal arm of Don Wildmon's American Family Association, bleated, "Unless the people of the State
of Massachusetts rise up with one voice in opposition to this lawless
and socially destructive behavior, it will destroy society as we know
it." At last check, neither society nor Massachusetts has been destroyed.
Are these truthful, "moral" men?
Are these men with the best interests of all Americans in mind? Or are
these "shepherds" really demagogues using religion and sheeple for
their own self-interests and to build their own political power?
It's quite clear in the Christian metaphors
used: "shepherds" and "flocks." Shepherds herd and "tend to"
their flocks not because it's in the best interest of the sheep, but
because they intend to use and profit from them when the sheep are sold
for slaughter.
Dobson, Crampton and Wildmon are not
alone in this practice. The founder and chairman of the Traditional
Values Coalition, Louis P. Sheldon, also defines "hypocrite" and
is a distinctly immoral sheeple-herder. While vociferously campaigning
against internet gambling, rabidly homophobic "Lucky Louie" and the TVC were accepting "contributions"
from Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his internet gambling promoters.
These days America is filled with egocentric,
self-proclaimed spokesmen for "God" who also have a dark political
agenda based on their theo-political dogma. Jim Weidmann is vice
chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. Their latest campaign
is "Pray for Election Day":
"In a Christian nation, we have the biblical responsibility as well as the patriotic responsibility to cast our vote for those who govern us," he said. "We want people to spend time praying that those who are elected will align themselves with God's laws. We also want them to get out and vote so the Christian understanding is captured in the vote." [italics added]
"A Christian nation": should all
the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, animists, agnostics and
atheists just leave?
"Align themselves with God's law":
does that include all the draconian Levitical laws as well as those
in Deuteronomy?
"The Christian understanding": does
that include St. Paul's edict to "suffer not a woman to teach, nor
to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
Or, like Dobson, Crampton, Wildmon and
Sheldon, are Mr. Weidmann and the National Day of Prayer Task Force
advocating only their version of "God's law" and "Christian
Let's hope that election day 2006 reaffirms that the light of the Enlightenment has not gone out and that the sheeple are waking up and starting to think for themselves instead of blindly obeying their herders.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has signed legislation that would expand the definition of eggs.
The measure approved on Friday defines eggs edible for human consumption as those produced by chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and guinea fowl.
Current law only included chicken eggs in its definition.
Nixon says the expanded definition will allow the state Department of Agriculture to inspect the additional types of eggs and make sure they are kept clean and at proper temperatures.
The bill was sponsored by Republican Sen. Dan Brown, of Rolla.

For the 12th consecutive year, a girls water polo team from Danville will win a North Coast Section championship.
Monte Vista High did its part in creating an all-Danville matchup for Saturday's Division I title game when it beat upstart James Logan 8-3 in Wednesday's semifinals at Miramonte.
The No. 2 seeded Mustangs will meet rival and top seed San Ramon Valley, which beat Alhambra 17-3 in its semifinal, in a rematch of last year's Division I championship. San Ramon Valley won that contest in overtime 5-4, snapping the Mustangs' streak of five straight NCS crowns.
"I think (San Ramon Valley) has a very good lineup straight across," Monte Vista coach Kealy McLain said. "I have about five returning starters, they have about four or five, too, so it's a pretty even."
The Mustangs (16-8) will try to duplicate the defensive effort it used against Logan in the semifinal win. Monte Vista allowed just one goal through the first three periods.
Monte Vista sophomore Courtney Fahey scored the first two goals of the game and finished with a game-high four scores. The Mustangs were in control 6-1 at halftime.
James Logan (17-10) had won the Mission Valley Athletic League title and advanced to the NCS semifinals for the second straight year. Junior goalie Tayler Peters shined for the Colts, keeping the Mustangs to single digit scoring by stopping 12 shots.
Top seed Campolindo will play No. 2 Acalanes in Saturday's Division II final.
Boys water polo
Miramonte 12, Acalanes 6: Jack Fellner and Charlie Wiser scored four goals each against the rival Dons to lead the Matadors back to the NCS Division I championship game.
Top-seeded Miramonte (18-9) will play in an NCS final for the eighth straight year and will go for its second consecutive title Saturday when it faces No. 4 San Ramon Valley. The Wolves won their semifinal over East Bay Athletic League champion De La Salle 14-11.
Miramonte and Acalanes (14-13) had played close games in the playoffs for the past several years, but the Matadors broke this one open early.
Miramonte led 10-3 at halftime thanks to five power play goals and a five-meter penalty shot. The Matadors led by as much as 12-3 before the Dons scored the final three goals.
Clay Smudsky added three goals for Miramonte and Connor Reid paced the Dons with three.
Alhambra will meet Marin Catholic in the Division II final on Saturday.
Girls volleyball
Berkeley d. Liberty: Seeking their first playoff win since 2007, the No. 9 Yellowjackets (21-10) knocked off the eighth-seeded Lions 25-20, 25-18, 25-23 in the first round of the NCS Division I playoffs.
After losing the first two games on their home court, the Lions (18-10) weren't going to go down without a fight and built a 21-18 lead. But the Yellowjackets rallied for the win thanks to four combined kills from Letysha Cephas and Dora Beilin down the stretch.
Paced by 16 kills from Molly Ginsburg, Berkeley will play at top-seeded California in the quarterfinals on Saturday at 7 p.m.
-- Matt Smith, correspondent
De La Salle High defensive Victor Egu has orally committed to Cal, Scout.com reported.
Egu -- who has a three-star rating by Scout as a linebacker -- had several scholarship offers and interest from most Pac-12 schools, and took an official visit to Oregon in early October. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior returned to action early last month after he missed time in September with a concussion.
In seven games this season, Egu has 24 tackles, four sacks and one fumble recovery.

Founders Bustin Longboard
The Cigar 38 by Bustin Boards is a classic "cruiser" shaped longboard, simple and straightforward with a gentle camber and mellow concave. Just what you need to cruise up for a beer.
Bustin boards are all made in the United States. They have a shop in Brooklyn, but one of the partners lives near the brewery here in Grand Rapids and likes to cruise to our taproom. A local artist and skater came up with the custom art on the board, which features characters and elements from quite a few of our beers. See if you can spot them all.
The shape of the Cigar 38 takes the form of a classic pintail functionally, with a more compact nose and tail for a more commuter friendly design. This deck is just plain fun to ride. For beginners and more advanced riders alike as an everyday cruiser.
Completes (including 66mm Founders custom wheels) are available.
8-ply Hard Rock Canadian Maple, 38" Long, 9" Wide, 30"-31″ WB, 1/4″ comfy cruise concave, 1/4″ bounce camber

Despite a plea for leniency by the dead victim's parents, a judge Tuesday sentenced two young men who killed Ashley Krieger in a Santa Clara street-racing crash to 364 days in jail each.
"Given the circumstances...with the loss of life, (they) deserve time in custody,'' said Judge Rene Navarro, his only comment during the brief hearing in Santa Clara County Superior Court.
Krieger, 23, had just left her job at a bowling alley about 10:30 p.m. on March 20, 2011, when her Honda was struck by a Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 driven by Vincent Mergonoto of San Jose.
Mergonoto, then 19, was racing a friend, Chandra Purnama, 25, of San Francisco, who was driving a rented Corvette. Both were traveling at speeds of 80-88 mph on Kiely Boulevard, prosecutor Michel Amaral said.
The sentence was a compromise of sorts. The men faced a maximum of six years in state prison on charges of felony speeding and causing injury. And the prosecutor wanted at least some prison time.
But the men avoided it partly by taking responsibility early for the crash, which involved no alcohol or drugs, and by hiring competent private attorneys. The parties agreed to have the judge decide.
The key factor in Navarro's decision was a Feb. 22 letter from Ashley Krieger's parents, Lance and Lori Krieger, Amaral said.
The couple were devastated by their only child's sudden, tragic death. But they asked Navarro to sentence Mergonoto, the driver who hit Ashley, to probation and community service rather than putting him behind bars.
The request came after Mergonoto's family agreed to settle a civil lawsuit with the Kriegers, the terms of which remain confidential. Neither were at the sentencing and declined to comment.
The couple wrote that they grieve for their daughter "every day and every night. Her loss and these criminal proceedings have taken a heavy toll on us, physically and emotionally."
But they also added that "Vincent and his entire family expressed their sincerest apologies'' and noted the young man accepted responsibility for the tragedy.
"We are in the process,'' they said, "of forgiving Vincent in our hearts.''

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee Running Club's Dan Jenkins placed seventh overall, and first in the 40-50 year age division, at the Marin Headlands Trail 100-Mile Endurance Run, held Sept. 15 and 16 across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. The race featured four 25-mile laps on a very hilly course (20,068 feet of climbing) and was held in mild day-time temperatures mixed with heavy night-time coastal fog that produced limited visibility. Jenkins ran a final time of 26 hrs., 57 min., 56 sec. — 1 hour and 8 minutes faster than his 2010 effort on the same course.
"This was my 12th ultra-marathon and just my second 100-miler, so I continue to find ways to cut time, run with less gear and manage the nutrition side of the equation. As with all long trail runs, though, it's not about the start/finish, it's about the people you're with and the journey along the way. My crew was awesome out there, in tough night-time conditions. We decided to do this 100-miler just a few weeks before the start, so for them to just jump in and do the job they did, it was great to be a part of," said Jenkins.
Jenkins was paced the final 25 miles by fellow Truckee Running Club member and local ultrarunner, JP Prince. Crew members included Truckee resident Roger Rintala, Dave Kascht of Sunnyvale, and Jenkins' sister Laurie Jenkins Fahy of Martinez.

As one reviewer stated, need some time to really give A+ but so far so good. The first month we had problems with the ice maker...it was spitting crushed ice everywhere but in the glass! Frgidaire responded with a chute which directs the ice nicely into the glasses. We are now on the Lowe's warranty. Glad I have appliance warranties as the fellow who originally came out said we had a lemon! Not so, just needed the chute which directs the cube and crushed ice into the glass. Glad I did not have to pay for his service call. We are now on our 13th month and all is well.

We purchased a new house and this was the fride in the house so we didn't have much choice. Overall it is fine but within a week of us using it the temperature displays were on the fritz causing the fridge to be almost as cold as the freezer. Within one week of using it one of the door shelves fell out when I opened the door - and it touched our wood floors and cracked in half. I haven't gotten a replacement yet cause i would have to call a parts dealer and that is a hassel - wish I could just order on line. And another reason I don't like it is it doesn't fit a pizza box in it.... not a big deal but sort of is...

some design flaws, but works great
By Smoothie
from Undisclosed
Comments about Frigidaire FRS6HF55KB Black 26 Cu. Ft. Side By Side Refrigerator:
Nice ref, but have to take out the top shelf to get to the on, off switch for the ice maker. Bad design. Hard to get ice to come out only into what you want. It flies out all over. Otherwise, great ref.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ice dispenser
By Shay
The ice comes out way too fast but I see from previous reviews it's common. Unfortunately, for us consumers it's a VERY annoying common problem. I would not recommend this to friend. I have 3 other, 4 total Frigidaire appliances and the fridge is my only complaint.
By cman
This is a nice unit. Quiet and lots of space. The only thing we have had a small issue with was a loose door handle. The delivery company did not tighten the door handle and did not leave the wrench. I called Frigidair and they sent one free of charge!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Can't stop water from dripping from ice shoot
By Terryjo
I have had the repairman out several times to fix a non-stop leak from the ice shoot. I have gone through a couple different repair companies because they get frustrated and say there is nothing else that they can do. I have a small heater installed around the ice shoot and the shoot itself has been replaced at least twice. If you don't mind water sitting in the tray where you get your water and ice, the refrigerator itself works fine.
By chris
Noisy operation in both compressor and ice-maker. Handle cracked after 2 months It's a shame as it has great features and keeps freezer and fridge temps. perfectly.
Ice despencer
By Jo
Have had the FIDAIRE. for 3 weeks and have nothing but trouble with the icedespencer. The ice comes out to fast and falls on the floor. I have to clean the floor every time.. Was told this is normal. I'v had 2 other refrigeatators and did not have this problem. Will not buy another FRIGIDAIRE.
all is good but ice dispenser
By fred derf
The fridge looks great and runs great but the ice dispenser is kind of annoying. Sometimes the ice comes out so fast it can fill and then overfill a 10 ounce glass before you can react. You can try to catch the overfow, but usually its all over the floor.

We cannot say enough about this refrigerator! It is awesome! We have owned several refrigerators in the past 23 years, and NONE even compare to the efficiency and quality of this appliance. It was affordable, and the Energy Star Rating is unbelievable.

A group of teenagers from Nettleton, Miss. began their summer break at Lake of the Ozarks, but not by spending their time on the water. Instead of wakeboarding and tubing, these students volunteered.
The students were at the lake area for three days. During those days, they stayed at Windermere camp, volunteered at the Helping Hands Homeless Shelter and landscaped a Habitat for Humanity home in Camdenton.
The students of Crosspointe Fellowship Church were led by youth pastor Brion Dowden, lead pastor Tommy Dabbs and adult leaders Gabby Coggin and Beth Coggin.
The students included Jensine Coggin, Darius Betts, Joseph Popek, Sarah Lowery, Allison Neal, Cailyn Holly, Ihle Gann, Kamryn Randolph, Garett Sullivan, Dalton Combs, Will Webb and Steven Estes.

The cracks left in the punched plaster

Patched together from fragments
a sense of himself
Advocate for compassion
and the sensual
As parents sent the young packing
to the depths of hell
The tattoo of guns clapping;
the end of the world
A marriage bed unraveling
& a wedding bell
cracked. He fell into drug habits
the empty shell
The tragic end of love's passion
a temple that fell
The collapse of such a fragile
and sensitive will
Relapsed to ugly patterns
of kill or be killed.
To combat the drunken shadow
and wrestle the swell.
Came back to the blood he battled
Where the devil dwelled
To smash the glass;
and shatter himself.
After the sudden blast
A heavy quiet fell
He asked his father "Why?"
The silence wouldn't tell.

Local Artist JoAnn Almich will exhibit her art at the K.K. Berge building in a showing called: Creative Passion through the month of April.
An opening reception sponsored by Economart will be held on Friday, April 12 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
"Growing up as a young child, creativity was all around me. My father was a contractor, my mother a beautiful seamstress as well as my grandmother," said Almich. "Before long, I was creating doll clothes and in 5th grade came my first commissioned work. It was to design the program cover for the children's Operetta. No matter what I did, I did so creatively and loved the challenge."
Almich said the art form provided her a way to express herself. She always had a love of "LETTERS" and the alphabet and in the early 1980's she joined the Colleagues of Calligraphy, Minneapolis and from there began teaching teaching Calligraphy, the art of beautiful handwriting.
"Art of all forms interested me and I soon began experimenting with pen and ink drawings, watercolor, oil painting, collage, mixed media and crafts of all kinds," she said. "From one of the classes I took, I learned the art of Zentangle (making shapes with pen and ink). This art from calms the mind, improves focus and reduces stress."
In 2011, Almich created the piece "Just Friends" which became the inspiration of Dr. Maurice Monhardt's composition, "Five Glances into an Art Museum".
"This piece was submitted along with 65 other entries from the Alexandria Brush and Palette Club and 5 pieces were chosen," she said.

WINTER PARK - This just in ... Vail Mountain School girls Nordic team is actually mortal.
The Gore Rangers finished second at Thursday's state freestyle race, falling just four points short of Aspen, 169-165, in Winter Park on Day 1 of the state meet, ending a streak of four years of Nordic state titles.
This is not noted as a criticism. No school can own the title forever. It is noted because VMS' ability, as the second-smallest school in the state to field a ski team (Colorado Rocky Mountain School), to dominate year after year.
It's not like anything went "wrong" Thursday for the Gore Rangers. Katie Scruggs flew to third place in 16 minutes, 44 .8 seconds. Annie Blakslee punched in at sixth with a time of 18:09.1. Clare Baker cracked the top 10 in ninth (18:23.1). Finishing 2-6-9 is only a problem when Aspen goes, 1-5-8.
No matter. VMS gets another crack at it today with classic.
In the meantime, Summit County's boys lead the overall with 328 points. Evergreen is technically second (304), but is not strong enough on the Nordic side to compete for a state title. Aspen holds down third with 297. The girls' race is tighter with Aspen leading Summit, 316-303.
Defending giant-slalom champion, Battle Mountain's Kendall VanHee, took fifth in GS Thursday. She helped the Huskies girls to take third in alpine on Day 1. Caroline Byrne took 12th and Allie O'Brien was 20th.
Ella Guzik led Eagle Valley in 36th.
In the boys' GS, the Huskies were fifth, led By Kevan Aubel (16th), Stefan Sortland (24th) and Umberto Ricci (28th). For VMS, Harrison Alonzo was 20th, Billy Mitchell in 30th and Caleb Chicoine 33rd. Eagle Valley's lone state qualifier, Matt Genelin, finished in 25th.
The Eagle Valley boys finished third as a team on the Nordic side. Michael Niemeyer, Nathan Maddox and William Thrasher did the damage, going 11-12-13. Battle Mountain's Cameron Moore made it a local's affair, finishing 14th. But the Huskies' Joe Barrett bested them all, with a fourth-place finish (14:53.2).
The Devils girls took fifth, led by Samantha Maddox in 13th and Nikki Cunning in 18th. Battle Mountain's top performers were Delaney McCabe (17th) and Emily Cope (22nd).

Normal Development Video Series
Geraldine ("Geri") Fox MD, MHPE, FAACAP
Normal Development Video Series:
A Longitudinal Stimulus Video Curriculum Resource for Educators
by Geri Fox, M.D.
Professor of Clinical Psychiatry
University of Illinois at Chicago/Institute for Juvenile Research
Bring your teaching to life!
Video Introduction and Sample Video Clips
From Normal Development in the First Ten Years of Life:
Clip 2 - 2 weeks: excerpt from Brazelton's Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale:
Suggested discussion points:
- Discuss various primitive reflexes shown in this clip: toe grasp, clonus, tone, incurvation, crawling, walking, weight-bearing. Note head control.
- Some reflexes extinguish with development (only returning in pathological states), others persist.
Clip 7 - 10 ½ months: 11 ½ month old boy takes ball from Sarah; she gets it back
Suggested discussion points:
– social communication, aggression, frustration, competition, negotiation, conflict resolution between infants.
– difference in temperament between two children.
– Sarah demonstrates social referencing by looking at mom before approaching "the thief".
Clip 15 — 2 yrs, 10 ½ months: Playing "Mommy Game."
Suggested discussion points:
– Ability to role play, and relive daily events by creating small reenactments.
– Some gender role rehearsing is involved (she is pretending to be Mommy, not Daddy).
– Use of 2nd person pronouns.
From Normal Development in Middle Childhood and Adolescence:
Clip 12 - 14 yrs: Is Sarah ready to be completely independent?
Suggested discussion points:
- Discuss conflict between wanting to be independent and awareness of need for parents. What do adolescents need from parents at this age? Why shouldn't adolescents be allowed to live on their own if they can take care of their practical needs? What other factors are necessary for parents to consider when granting additional independence?
- Note non-verbal affectionate playfulness between Sarah and Dad during this exchange. Could her stealing his sandal be symbolic of wanting to take over his territory, "fill his shoes" and be an adult?
Clip 24 - 7 yrs: Brian gives money to poor people
Suggested discussion points:
–At what age does a child learn compassion? What sorts of experiences encourage the development of empathy? Discuss the effects of role-modeling and vicarious learning, formal tutelage (e.g. in religious school), or involving the child in participatory experiences such as making sandwiches together to take to a shelter.
–Research has shown that children who develop age-appropriate emotional competence skills (including empathy) are more likely to have increased academic performance; better peer relationships; and are less likely to experience psychopathology. Empathy also facilitates mature moral reasoning. See NDMCA-CV manual references.
–Would it be better for Mom to take more control over the snacking (e.g. put the candy out of sight and allow only one piece per day)?
Clip 32 — (11 yrs) Brian makes time smaller
Suggested discussion points:
–Time management will be a crucial life skill, affecting his future success in academics, his career, and his ability to juggle work and home life. This is a good time to learn how to prioritize, plan, and not leave things to the last minute.
–Rather than not allowing Brian to go to the pick-up game, Mom lets Brian make his own decisions, then encourages him to learn from his experience and change future choices accordingly. See Diana Baumrind's research on parenting styles (authoritative vs. authoritarian).
–Effort is highly dependent on the degree to which one is inspired by the task at hand (soccer versus clarinet, for example). Mom never had to remind Brian to get ready to go to his soccer games, or push him to practice his athletic skills.
If you teach normal child and adolescent development, you can engage your students' attention and enliven class discussion, by illustrating your teaching points using this innovative stimulus DVD series. Created by an award-winning teacher, this rich resource delivers a diverse, enjoyable selection of key moments from two children's development over 20 years. There is no voice-over narration: these are short "visual anecdotes" that you can use any way you choose. The film is designed to be equally useful whether shown in segments or in its entirety, at the instructor's discretion. The accompanying teacher's manual provides the length of each clip, the age of the child, a short description of the vignette, and suggests ideas for discussion. The clips are cross-referenced by topic in the index, to make it easy for instructors to match clips to their teaching needs.
There are no other videos currently available for use in teaching normal development that follow a child's growth continuously and longitudinally. This video series has been created specifically to fill t his gap by a child and adolescent psychiatrist who has taught normal development for over 20 years.
Awards: Certificate of Merit, Chicago International Film Festival's Best of INTERCOM 2010 Competition; Bronze Finalist, Telly Awards; Bronze Finalist, Columbus International Film and Video Festival
Used in the majority of US medical schools
Appropriate for trainees in all child development disciplines at any level
Praise from reviewers of Normal Development in the First Ten Years of Life:
"This video by Geri Fox is a treasure for anybody teaching or learning about human development. Beautiful, rarely seen moments . . . shine before the viewer's eyes."
Daniel S. Schechter, M.D., Columbia University Parent-Infant Program
"The wonder of normal development, a baby girl grows up videotaped through the loving eyes of her child and adolescent psychiatrist mother. This is a guide for students of development in all disciplines and levels, for professionals, and for caregivers. Thanks, Geri, and family, for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, and joy."
Jean Thomas, MD, Children's National Medical Center
Praise from reviewers of Normal Development in Middle Childhood and Adolescence:
"Normal Development in Middle Childhood and Adolescence is the perfect companion for Geri Fox's outstanding original video stimulus series. Because these videos sensitively show the child or adolescent without commentary, they can be used in any setting at any educational level as a stimulus for discussion, or to demonstrate a teaching point. There is no other resource that I know of that is so rich for use in teaching normal child and adolescent development."
Sandra B. Sexson, MD, Professor and Chief of Child Psychiatry, Medical College of Georgia
"Geri Fox's video about child development brilliantly captures the growth of two children in a way that provides wonderful stimuli for students to examine children's behavior and thinking. This delightful trigger video is rich with examples to launch discussions about both classical and modern theories of human development. Many thanks to Geri, for bravely and compassionately sharing her and her children's world."
Donald C. Fidler, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, West Virginia University
"Geri Fox has given the mental health field a compelling gift. Following in the footsteps of Jean Piaget, Mary Ainsworth and other early pioneers, Fox's film provides beautiful documentation of the normal development of two children as they progress through middle childhood and adolescence. Rich in capturing individual differences and the many, intricate continuities and changes that comprise development, the film is an essential tool for any mental health professional who teaches in this area."
Teresa Ostler, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Newsweek Attacked For Extreme Close-Up of Pailin
Have you seen the new Newsweek?
It is an EXTREME close-up of Sarah Palin and Newsweek chose to not touch it up at all. Every pore, hair, wrinkle and blemish is there for the world to see. Normally they air brush or touch-up the photos.
If you don't think there is bias in this cover, read the caption: "She's One of The Folks (and that's the problem)."
That's the problem?
And now take a look at a recent picture of Newsweek with Barack Obama on the cover.
Not only is it air brushed, he has a HALO for God's sake!
This may seem like a small point, but it is not. Ten thousand times more people see the cover of these magazines than read them. The images on the cover are carefully crafted to send a message.
This media manipulation is getting downright ridiculous.
Here is Fox News on the Newsweek cover:
17 comments:

WOW. That is ridiculous. I will not but Newsweek. So pathetic, such bias.
Bleh. :(
- October 9, 2008 at 3:59 PM
I think sarah is very brave, very smart, and a down to earth average mom. I hate politics for the reason they bring down the normal middle class people that have so much in commen with her by poking fun. Well I think she'll make a great president or vp no matter what. God bless her and I'll be sure to send her some prayers. It takes a strong woman to take all those blows and keep on standing! YOU GO SARAH!!!
- October 9, 2008 at 10:03 PM
w-huh? Oh wow, c'mon, women moaning about beauty? Yeah, this is exactly what the womens movement needs. God damn, stop whining about everything, she looks fine and it all depends on context. I'd go on a bit about why the light on Obamas cover since ALL OF HIS COVERS HAVE LIGHT (such an unbiased blog!) is appropriate in the context of race and how it captures the emotion of a man fighting o-but whatever. I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here to whine about Sarah not looking FA-BU-LOUS!

Oh, and juli, wake up sweety. Sarahs using you. We tried this eight years ago, you know, with "joe six pack George W Bush"? You Americans are so EASILY fooled. All it takes is a stomp of the foot, the point of a finger, the wink of an eye eight times during the debates, the cry that "WASHINGTON AND WALL STREET KEEP US REGULAR FOLKS DOWN!" and the wearing of a Navy hat and you fools buy into it. Maybe I should run for office, its easy to give people what they want to hear and then get away with it, hell the republicans are gonna get away with it AGAIN! I'll just wink constantly and talk all folksy and call people terrorists and unamerican.

This is because Obama will never be as useless a cunt as you are, Sarah.
White niggers, that is what you seccessionists are.

Who cares if she looks less than perfect on a magazine cover! She needs to be presented as a real person, and not another pretty face. She is a down-to-earth person, honest, but I am just not convinced she is suitable to be in the White House. The way she was unable to effectively deal with Katie Couric convinced me that 1) She is totally unprepared for politics on the national level and 2) That McCain picked her out of the blue without vetting her, making sure they were on the same page when it came to the issues, and prepping her for the questions she would face as a vice presidential candidate. McCain threw her to the dogs hoping for the best.
- October 10, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Awwwww...poor thing. She IS just a regular Jane-Sixpack and Obama IS an elitist lefty snob, so my guess is that she specifically requested she not be airbrushed you betcha don-cha-know. Just another example of the liberal gotcha media, what with their questions and follow-ups and whatnot...
Now, would Sarah like to take a minute away from her Obama attacks to explain her and her husband supporting the radical Alaska Independence Party? Say it ain't so little lady darn tootin', and another 'you betcha' for good measure.

Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little dumb people ask for in return for the total surrender of their political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, a character too dumb even for daytime TV. Don't even think of voting for these horrifying people.If you don't like Obama, just stay home.

I love how fox news does so much to avoid talking about the economy. They created this "fake outrage" to have something to talk about, so that we can "turn the page" from what's really worrying everyone. I assure you, it's not an extreme close up of a beautiful woman.
As far as the article is concerned, they were simply saying that maybe a large segment of the population doesn't want "one of the folks" running the entire free world, if called upon to do so. Maybe a lot of the population wants someone more intelligent, more thoughtful, and franky... BETTER than most of the folks. Anyway for the point of view that it's a good idea to simply grab anyone with a pulse and put them in the white house, the magazine DID also allow Karl Rove to write the alternate viewpoint.

3 years from now when Palin has been defeated in her bid to be re-elected as Alaska's governor, she'll be two things. Fat and forgotten.

Give me a break. This isn't a super-model on the cover of a fashion magazine. This is a woman who (gasp) just might be the leader of the free world. If this has the country all a flutter, imagine a REAL dilemma. This is just another of many diversions meant to lead the common folk away from the actual issues. Sarah Palin is a ninny, a twit. The irony is that all you "joe sixpacks" out there don't realize THE LEADER OF THE US NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED! This is the most important post in the world. There should be a healthy balance between being able to identify with the everyday man and being able to form complete sentences.

ANTIOCH -- A growing number of Antioch Unified teachers are voicing their displeasure about not receiving pay raises despite the district having a sizable reserve fund.
Over the past few months, teachers have been attending district board meetings and urged trustees to give them a raise.
About 60 teachers crowded into the district board room this week, with almost all of them holding colorful papers that read "It's time!"
Antioch Unified has just over $31.2 million in unrestricted reserves and about $3 million in restricted reserves, according to its latest budget report released in September. The money has been saved up because of uncertainty in revenues the district receives from the state, Superintendent Donald Gill said.
"We knew that the lean years were coming," Gill said. "We wanted to make sure we had as much stability as possible, so we didn't have to have furlough days or salary rollbacks."
That amount grew because the district has been able to leverage other funds to maintain programs and services, he said.
Meanwhile, Antioch teachers say they have received just one salary hike in the past six years, a 1 percent increase four years ago. The amount teachers have to pay for medical benefits for their families is also slated to increase in January, said Lenore Navarro, a Kimball Elementary teacher and member of the bargaining unit for the Antioch Education Association.
"It's a virtual pay cut," she told trustees Wednesday. "(The funding balance) has been amassed on the back of teachers and students."
Negotiations between the two sides, which have been going on since October 2011, continued Thursday.
The base salary scale for Antioch teachers ranges from about $36,000 to $80,000, depending on the number of years in the district and credits earned. For example, that range for a teacher with 10 years in the district is between $67,152 and $75,840,
Salary increases kick in each year based on tenure and experience, according to the district's salary schedule.
Several teachers spoke at the board meeting, sharing personal stories of how increased living expenses are causing them hardship.
"You guys keep telling us that we are great teachers and saying the district has great teachers, but it's time to put your money where your mouth is," said Scott Benedict, a special-education teacher at Deer Valley High.
With last week's passage of Proposition 30, a sales and property tax increase, by California voters, teachers say Antioch Unified has no more excuses.
Board President Diane Gibson-Gray pointed out Wednesday that board members appreciated the teachers speaking, but could not comment, especially since negotiations are under way on a new contract.
"It is difficult to hear, and I certainly empathize with their situations," Gibson-Gray said.

MANTECA - Shasta Elementary fourth-grade students and their families kicked off the 2012-13 Exercise Across California Program on Wednesday morning. Fourteen other schools in San Joaquin County also are participating. As part of the program, students are being challenged to walk, skip, run or jump 2,126 miles, the distance around California.
The San Joaquin County Office of Education and Kaiser Permanente initiated the Exercise Across California program in 2009 in an effort to motivate children to be active and healthy. In addition to the exercise, students also virtually visit 13 historic landmarks along their statewide journey. At the end of the program, three students from each school will have the opportunity to visit the Golden Gate Bridge and attend a San Francisco Giants game.
Six Stockton Unified schools, TEAM Charter School in Stockton, two Manteca Unified, two Tracy Unified and five Lodi Unified schools are participating in Exercise Across California.

Our family owns a small restaurant in downtown Eagle and here is our view of Eagle River Station. A wise and successful person offered me a great definition of truth - it is "I don't know."
I don't know what ERS will look like in terms of specific retail stores. I don't know much about regional store business models and how they can afford premium overhead costs. I don't know if Eagle's lack of an economic engine versus Vail, Avon, Edwards, Gypsum and Glenwood Springs spells the demise of us as a community. I don't know how much we (Eagle) will spend at ERS, I suspect that it will be a very small portion of our monthly income.
I don't know if wishful thinking will solve our economic challenges and I suspect that our future would be much brighter with a retail engine run by development professionals with a proven track record of success, whose customers also have a proven track record of success and would not invest their money without serious due diligence.
Our restaurant enjoys many local regular customers and between 70 and 80 percent of our business comes from upvalley, Gypsum, Glenwood, Carbondale and other parts of the world.
This is why I am voting for ERS. I like more people visiting Eagle and the probability of local downtown growth that will compliment our community and ERS.

"Sefer Sinai"
by Abraham ben Baruch
Sefer Sinai (Book of Sinai)
© Jewish Museum Berlin, photo: Jens Ziehe
Only a few Jewish scripts from the Middle Ages could be saved from destruction. The original manuscript entitled "Sefer Sinai" shown here is one of these rare books that have survived to the present day. The unique copy from the year 1391 is the most valuable item in the library collection of the Jewish Museum Berlin.
The manuscript can be traced back to the brother of the renowned Meir from Rothenburg, Abraham ben Baruch from Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Rothenburg above the river Tauber). Both brothers as well as other rabbi of late medieval times discussed questions concerning the religious laws on purity and observance of the Shabbat, the day of rest. "Sefer Sinai" thus provides historical insights into the contacts between the medieval Talmud scholars.
The precious manuscript has an eventful history. Daniel Itzig (1723-1799) purchased it from a Christian professor at the beginning of the 18th century. Itzig later became the alderman of the Jewish Community of Berlin. The manuscript was taken to London in 1802 by Rabbi Solomon Herschell from Berlin, who was later appointed chief rabbi to the English Jews. It was here that it came to the library of the orthodox rabbi seminary "Jews' College," founded in 1852. Almost two centuries later, in 1999, Jews' College had to put the precious piece up for auction at Christie's in New York. It has since been part of the collection of the Jewish Museum Berlin, where, as one of the collections most prized pieces, it is kept in a purpose-made, acid-free box in a climatized depot.
Object Details:
Abraham ben Baruch <Rothenburg>; Me'îr Ben-Barűkh <Rothenburg>; Dueren, Isaac Ben Meir
Sefer Sinai
Germany 1391
Manuscript, ink on parchment, 263 pages
Measurements: 37,3 x 29,5 x 8 cm

MARIETTA - Sixth grade students at Marietta Middle School participated in a special lesson taught by CPAs from Peoples Bank, Crone Accounting and Rea and Associates Inc.
The program was part of a statewide financial literacy program by members and volunteers for the Ohio Society of CPAs and the Ohio CPA Foundation.
Financial Education Teaches Children Healthy Habits is a classroom board game that teaches children smart money skills CPAs hope they will use to make smart financial decisions as adults.
F.E.T.C.H. is set in a dog park where students manage the finances of owning a pet.
With each turn, they use critical math and thinking skills to earn money for basics like a leash and collar, budget for unplanned expenses and save money for the future.
If your dog learns a new trick, you earn cash. If your pet gets sick, the vet bill can put you in the red and keep you from buying an essential item.
The game teaches children that sometimes you must delay buying what you want right now so that you can afford what you need later. The team that purchases a bone, bowl, leash and collar and saves the most money along the way earns the title of "Top Dog."
"F.E.T.C.H. is a fun way to teach children the basics of managing money," Missy Williams, Peoples Bank staff accountant, said. "They have to make tough choices about when to spend their money and save it and how that impacts their ability to meet future goals."
Kids learned every decision has consequences, just like in real life. The lesson couldn't be timelier as parents across America struggle to discuss money management with their children. According to a Harris Interactive survey conducted for the American Institute of CPAs, three in 10 parents never talk to their children about money or have had just one big talk with their children on the subject. Thirteen percent surveyed talk daily with their children about financial matters.
F.E.T.C.H. was created by the Ohio Society of CPAs and its charitable affiliate, the Ohio CPA Foundation with guidance from elementary teachers and a curriculum developer. It includes a testing component to gauge if students have mastered a basic understanding of financial terms.

This creative play craft and activity for Mother's Day is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Make beautiful bracelets or necklaces for Mom with this pretty bead "bouquet!" – Valerie
These beaded necklaces are so much fun to make, and they would be such a special gift for Mom this Mother's Day. The best part is that everything you need to make one is included in the Bead Bouquet Deluxe Wooden Bead Set by Melissa & Doug!
Beading is a great activity for building important fine-motor skills, but you can also use this educational opportunity with your child to work on creating patterns, counting, and even symmetry. I love that the end of each cord has an aglet on it to make stringing the beads a bit easier without requiring the use of a needle. My daughter, Emily, adored all the brilliant colors of this set–there are so many to choose from!
She happily crafted up three long necklaces with several beads left over, and cannot wait to give them to her grandmothers! I am secretly hoping she set one aside for me too. . . . *ahem*
Wishing you and your family a very happy (and crafty) Mother's Day!
Have fun!!
Valerie Deneen is a Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador and the author of Inner Child Fun, where she inspires parents to spend more quality time with their kids, and less money doing it. Inner Child Fun celebrates simple pleasures for all ages—with more than 1,000 frugal and creative projects that are sure to bring out the "kid" in you too!

If you are like me I set my running goals every year around the first of the year for the coming year. I then place my list in the front of my running log. In December I return to my list to see how I progressed. My first goal was to get my weight down to 185, I did reach this for awhile during summer and early fall, but with injuries after fall marathon I have settled back to around 200-195, ok sort of.
Number 2 was three marathons- I reached this goal in May, doing 3 in 7 weeks.
Number 3- 1400 miles in year. I currently have 1410 miles this year.
Number 4- 23 min. 5k I ran 22:18 the end of September in 1 of my home town races.
Number 5- 10k in 49 min. I missed this one with a best of 51:20 in Feb. I ran only 3 of these this year and all of the rest of them in July, in high heat.
Number 6- 90 min. 10 mile. I did 85:30 in Bayshore marathon, but in the Crim our featured race in the area I missed with 90:01, close but no cigar.
Number 7- 52 runs of over 10 miles. I currently have 51 and hope to break that next week.
Goals for next year
3 marathons, PR in 5k10k and 10 mile Crim, 1500 miles, 50 runs of over 10 miles, and a 3:58:00 or less in a marathon.
Run long and run well
Marathon Derrick
Thanks to MarkGuy, here's the link to our 2007 Goals[/URL" target="_blank">. However, page 1 is missing. I haven't had a chance to think about goals for 2008 yet.
I met all of mine:
1. Remain injury free. (YES!)
2. 1,000 annual miles. (Almost to 1,100 - YES!)
3. Maintain consistent monthly mileage especially during the winter months. (Yes! a March HM helps this goal)
4. Improve core strength. (Yes! regularly attend yoga & pilates classes)
5. Run more races with DH. (Yes! We ran 3 HMs, 2 10ks, 1 5 mile, 1 5k together)
6. Run 2 half marathons. (Yes! I ran 4: Shamrock in VaBeach, Deadwood-Mickelson Trail, Billings, Bizz Johnson in CA)

Where's that confounded 2007 goals note?
grumble grumble..
......actually, once I got this Back Problem Whipped (which STILL amazes me)......
..........the other Goals Paled in Comparison...
.....I'm still close to my 168-hour goal,
but don't really care if I hit it or not.......
I didn't have a milage goal. To run the number of races and types of races that I have this year, the distance has taken care of it's self.
I've run the number of races I've wanted to.
Finished my first marathon.
Now, what's injury free??? After a few runs, I've had a limp that last a few days. Or is it something we have a Dr. look at???
I competed, I finished the race, I kept the faith.
Either I didn't participate in that thread or I was on page 1. But I'm sure that I met at least two goals:
- Run injury-free (no injuries that stopped me from running)
- Set an HM PR
I'll have to think up some for when we get the 2008 thread going.
Derrick: Congrats on setting such a group of challenging goals and then achieving them.
- Runnin' in Rochester
Rochrunner[/URL" target="_blank">
Ouch ! ! Oh-fer-9 ! !
I gotta re-think this whole goal thing.
My primary goal for 2007 was to to focus in being open to all opportunities to perform random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR?
For personal wellness my goal was to:
1- Run 1,000 miles this year Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? I am nearing 1,300 miles.
2- Run 2 marathons and 2 half Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? did 3 marathons
3- PR in my next marathon Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? a PR by 36 minutes
4- Loose 20 pounds by my birthday[not there yet] lost 14 pounds and gained muscles.
5- Find a runner wantnabie and serve as a mentor to him/her Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? she just ran her first race last weekend.
6- Learn Italian[did I say that?] I guess I better get busy with this goal.

I think I put my goals in my local neighborhood thread, so I don't think even have page one of the boomer goals would help me. I'm pretty sure there were more, but the only two I can remember are as follows:
- 1500 miles for the year
This might have been only 1200, in which case I'll come
close (right at 1100 today)
- 25:xx 5K
I started the year with a 5K PR of just under 28 minutes,
and just missed with a 26:03 in October
Already got some good ideas for 2008 goals, but I'll wait for the new thread.
This is a good reminder, while there is a bit of time left in the year. OK, how did I do?
2007 Running Goals
1) Be injury free
(Yes!!! Yay!)
2) Run over 1000 miles
( Looks very good, with 969 miles so far, probably will be around 1025 miles).
3) Improve race times over '06 in 5K, 10K, 10 mile, and HM
(good improvement for 5K, HM; not quite for 10K, didn't run 10 miler this year)
4) Run a mile in under seven minutes
(should be able to finish this in the time remaining)
5) Volunteer for at least one race
(uh, had my chances, but didn't get it done, will have to volunteer twice next year)
6) Meet more Cool Running Boomers
(met some, dromedary, among others - certainly regret not being able to meet tet at the Green River Marathon, but it is on the calendar for 08)
hey husky, thanks. glad you'll be back for this year's Green River Marathon & Relay[/URL" target="_blank">. With only 50 runners, I'm still tryin' to figure out how three boomers missed each other. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|border=0!
2007 running goals - sadly, even though it should have been a big 30th anniversary year of running at least one marathon a year since 1977, I couldn't come up with a single special goal for the 2007 but somehow ended up with the running year of my life with redeeming missing the 14 hour cutoff in last year's 50-miler and having an official finish too in my first foray into the endurance netherland beyond with a last-minute 100K (15 hours), and celebrating marathon #100 with a dozen boomer friends, including Mr. Surprise at my favorite Seattle Marathon.
Since aamos and divechief lured me into boomerland at the 2004 SM, my running life has changed from rote and routine to joyous and exciting. thank you all. I can hardly wait for 2008.

Me, too. I don't remember which. I know at this time last year my focus was on training for and running my first marathon, and I did that (ran 2 actually).
I'm not very good at making lists of specific goals. I tend to have a vague idea in my head and sort of drift towards it, in a haphazard and piecemeal way.
Yes, I did set goals for 2007 and very please to report on them.
Try to stay injury free - Successful, no injuries this year
run a 5K in under 24:00 - shattered it with breaking 22
Run a 10K - Ran two 10Ks 7:37 and 7:41 pace, faster than my 5K and 5M pace from previous years
For 2008,
1. Stay Injury Free
2. Break 7:00 mile pace for 5K
3. Break 37 min 5M
4 Break 46:30 10K
5 Run a half marathon
2007, my second full year of running, was very successful for me, in no small part due to what I've learned from this forum. Thanks again.
My original goals and update
Continue to stay healthy and injury free.
Run regularly (average 30 miles/wk; about 1,600+ miles).
Do modest strength work and stretching regularly.
Maintain my weight below 160.
Run at least 6 of the 10 local "Grand Prix" races.
Run a sub-4 marathon.
Like Holly, I don't write down goals, but have ideas of things I want to accomplish. I guess this is one way of not being too disappointed when life gets in the way and original goals have to fall by the wayside. I set out 2007 to just be better than 2006, which was plagued by injuries and personal "bumps" in the road. Taking time off at the end of 2006, then rebuilding a good solid base helped me avoid injuries this year, AND set PRs in all distances this year. The PR thing wasn't a goal originally, but after the first couple, it became something I worked at over the summer.
If I had to ID two big goals, it would be the injury-free running year (yes!!) and the BQ. Once I got that, I wanted more... then hit Marathon Maniac status and two more BQ times this fall. So... things kind of morph as they go. Now the goal is silver level Maniac status... which will carry over into 2008.
So I guess yes, I met my goals, and kept adding new ones to keep me going.
