Exhibitor FAQ
You may wonder about many things… To help you find a solution as quickly as possible, you will find on this page the answers to the most frequently asked questions!
Until when are registrations open?
Registrations are opened until the end of January. Yet, if there are available booths left after this date, we will gladly welcome new exhibitors.
Where can I register?
To get a registration file or any other information, please contact us via this form (feel free to give us your contact and present your activity).
I sent you an e-mail via the contact form but I didn't get any reply.
We answer all the e-mails within 3 days.
If we don't contact you, your e-mail address may have a problem. Try again with another e-mail address or send a mail.
Can I organize some animation on my booth?
We wish to give as much entertainment as possible to the attendees. So we will be happy to hear about your project and help you achieve and promote it.
Can I decorate my booth?
Of course. Customizing your booth is very important.
Yet be careful with any tablecloth, piece of material or any piece of decoration accessible to the public which have to be class M1 certified (safety/fire standards), which means that it has to be fireproof. Our safety manager is very strict about this and test things regularly with a lighter.
Concerning posters, take Scotch tape or Blue tack (no screw, thumbtack, pin or staples because you must give the booth back in a good state, otherwise you might pay for the damages).
Can I raise my booth or lay it out differently?
You can arrange the equipment (tables, chairs…) of your booth as you like.
Yet, if you want to raise your booth, you have to order the required elements from us in order to respect the safety standards. Please contact us for more information about this.
Where can I write to you by mail?
SEFA EVENT « Service Exposants »
14 Place Georges Pompidou
93160 Noisy-le-Grand
Are the free entrances for one day only?
Yes, a free entrance is like a one-day presale ticket. It allows one person to enter the festival on one day during the public opening hours.
Can I exchange free entrances for exhibitor badges?
No, you can't. Badges and free entrances are completely different.
A free entrance allows its owner to enter the festival via the presale line during the presale opening hours. No one can enter via the exhibitor entrance with a free entrance.
Is it possible to go out and come back later?
No, like in most professional events. Any exit is permanent.
Note that people with exhibitor badges can go in and out freely by the exhibitor entrances.
Can I share my booth?
No. As said in the rules, an exhibitor cannot let, sublet or share, for money or for free, the whole or a part of his/her booth inside the festival.
Will I get an invoice?
Yes, whether you're an amateur, young designer or professional, you will have a bill for any service you ask for.
Our bills are sent by e-mail in pdf format.
Can an electrical connection be shared between several booths?
The price specified in the application form is determined for the sharing of a connection between 3 booths at least. If this number is not reached, the order may be cancelled by the organizer.
Extension cords and power strips have to be brought by the exhibitor.
Concerning the cost of the electrical connection, what can I do if I want less or more than 750W?
You can't order less than 750W. If you want more than 750W though, you can order multiples of 750W (1500W, 2250W, or 3000W). You just have to specify the number (2, 3, or 4) in the quantity box of the application file.
Is there a maximum number of badges?
Yes, one amateur exhibitor can get 10 badges at most for the entire booth.
Can we bring our own chairs/stools added to those of the booth?
Of course! Avoid grey/black chairs which might look like those of the installer!
Can we bring one more table?
Yes but it has to be put on the surface of your booth.

How a Laurier Entrepreneur Uses Music to Build a Bridge and Connect Communities
So you've just moved to a new country with no bearings, little to no understanding of the language, and a passion for music – Now what?
This problem was all to familiar to Laurier music student and entrepreneur Yesung Cho, who immigrated to Canada from South Korea and realized there wasn't a single recording label catering to Asian-Canadians. While studying Music at Laurier, Yesung realized he had two options: 1) to become accustomed with the mainstream record labels or 2) to create the first Asian-Canadian record label for fellow musicians in the same boat.
Witnessing this niche market grow right before his eyes the decision was easy – Audacious Youth Entertainment was born. This is not your average record label looking to launch the next Gangnam Style. AY Entertainment sets itself apart by focusing on community, collaboration, and creativity. It aims to produce music and music videos that are focused on delivering positive and encouraging messages while keeping a high integrity in music and dance. One of the goals of AY Entertainment is to help build the bridge between the Asian and Canadian music entertainment cultures.
"From the teachings through the Faculty of Music, with a special thanks to Dr. Jessica Kun and Dr. Lee Willingham, I now appreciate music from a higher musicianship point of view, and learnt the importance of continuously educating and fostering musicians to grow out of their creativity. There is still much to learn in the world of music but being educated at Laurier gives me the confidence that I've received the best education and have a great starting point to launch my future careers in music. Because of this, AY Entertainment is interested in working with musicians of all types – classical to beat-boxers," says Yesung.
Since beginning this endeavor in early 2012, Yesung has learnt that the entrepreneurship path is not an easy one, but a journey that demands resilience and drive.
Attitude matters.
When you're trying to build a community from the ground up, there is no doubt you have to lead by example. As a leader your attitude is what encourages your community to support your initiative and jump on the bus!
There will always be challenges when starting a new venture, but Yesung realizes the make it happen attitude is what will drive AY Entertainment to the top.
Seek wisdom– mentorship, mentorship, mentorship!
As a young student entrepreneur mistakes are inevitable – but how do you minimize these to grow as efficiently as possible? Any successful entrepreneur will tell you the importance of connecting with someone who has "been there, done that"!
Yesung knew he had the passion and love for music required to start this community, but it wasn't until he started to connect with Laurier Alumnus Paul Maxwell, Founder of Maxwell Music House, that he discovered the business opportunity behind his vision.
Become integrated in your local entrepreneurship eco-system
Rather than starting a business in your basement like a stereotypical start-up, become well integrated and take an active role in your community's entrepreneurship eco-system.
Yesung is a poster child for leveraging these opportunities. By becoming a member of the Laurier Innovation & Technology Club, the Laurier Marketing Association, and applying to the C3 Conference, Yesung is building his network and learning valuable skills that will be transferable to any future ventures.
Today Yesung is building AY Entertainment on the ground, having recently recruited his first rosters of 12 artists! Looking to record some of your own music or interested in bringing your skills to AY Entertainment? Get connected and reach out to AY Entertainment through Facebook or Twitter today!

This is just a preview version.
did you uses gamemaker lite verson to make this
No, I used Flash.
why is golem better then musketeer?
The idea is decent, maybe add a few more classes later on in the development of the game. Of course, better graphics would be nice...but you probably hear that from everyone. Please tell me what program you used to make this game. I would like some tips if you used flash. I recently decided to take an animation course at my school, and it is going far too slowly for my liking. If you want any ideas on how to make some improvements to the game, just ask me. Chief Petty Officer TicTac, out!
I used Flash.
a good game but i think u should update a few things better graphics when you scroll across make it faster and maybe have after each level have a chance to upgrade ya units i also agree with what blackhorseman said

Research G.A. Radvansky recently published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology is attracting all sorts of media attention. The story—about how walking through a doorway affects memory—was picked up by Men's Health Magazine, Freakonomics, U.S. News & World Report, Time, National Geographic, ABC News, CBS News, The Huffington Post, and dozens of other news outlets around the world (including Canada, the United Kingdom, India, Korea) and even on the Middle East North Africa Financial Network. Go ahead and Google it.
Congratulations to Jessica Payne on receiving the Laird Cermak Award from the International Neuropsychological Society. The award is given to a candidate who is less than five years from completion of training for outstanding research in memory or memory disorders. The Cermak award was given for Jess's work titled "Sleep Preferentially Benefits Emotional Components of Scenes: Behavioral and Neural Evidence."
This fall, she also delivered remarks ("Sleep, Stress and Positive Affect: What Business Leaders Need to Know About the Brain") to the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensborough, N.C. This talk led to Jessica being named the H. Smith Richardson Jr. Fellow, a prestigious and highly remunerative award. The fellowship begins this month and ends next November. Congratulations, Jessica!
I'm delighted to report that Nicole McNeil has been appointed the Mary Hesburgh Flaherty and James F. Flaherty Assistant Professor of Psychology and Jessica Payne has been appointed to the Nancy O'Neill Chair in Psychology for a three-year term. These appointments as collegiate chairs recognize "outstanding work as a scholar, teacher, and citizen of the university." Indeed, and bravo! Please extend warm and hearty congratulations to both Nicole and Jessica on these prestigious and well-deserved appointments.
Congratulations to Brad Gibson, who was appointed recently as consulting editor for both the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General and Psychonomic Bulletin & Review.
Congratulations to Anita Kelly and co-PIs Dawn Gondoli and Lijuan Peggy Wang on landing a three-year grant from the Templeton Foundation called "The Science of Honesty: Can Being More Honest Improve Health?" The project involves a series of experiments in which participants are induced to drop their major lies and white lies for a 10-week period. During this period, and at three- and nine-month follow-ups, changes in their relationships, perceived integrity, and health are documented and compared with control participants.
I'm delighted to report that our new colleague Sidney D'Mello has landed an NSF REESE grant for more than $1 million to fund a three-year project called "Beyond Boredom: Modeling and Promoting Engagement during Complex Learning." REESE grants fund research on research and evaluation on education in science and education. Congratulations Sidney!
Congratulations to John Borkowski, the Andrew J. McKenna Family Research Professor of Psychology, on his appointment to a three-year term on the Board of Scientific Counselors of the Centers for Disease Control.
Chuck Crowell and Mike Villano—and co-authors Michael Kennedy, Jim Schmiedeler, Aaron Striegel and Johan Kuitse—earned the best paper award at the IEEE Healthcom 2011 conference held in Columbia, Mo., back in June. The title of the best paper was "Enhanced Feedback in Balance Rehabilitation Using the Nintendo Wii Balance Board." Here is an Notre Dame news article on this innovative work.

Android Chief: Google Built 'Firewall' Between Android, Motorola
Why Google Built a 'Firewall' Around Android
The man in charge of Google's Android mobile operating system said the company "built a firewall" to keep his Android team at a safe distance away from Motorola Mobility Holdings, the handset maker that Google last year agreed to acquire for $12.5 billion. The deal is expected to close within days or weeks.
Speaking at a press conference at Mobile World Congress, an annual conference in Barcelona, Andy Rubin said he was "painfully aware" of the questions surrounding whether Google might favor Motorola by giving it early releases of Android software ahead of other manufacturers such as HTC or Samsung, or otherwise will help Motorola to build the best Android-powered devices on the market.
Rubin, who also announced new statistics about the accelerating growth of Android, said it would be "completely insane" to try to turn Motorola, which currently has "single-digit" market share in Android mobile handsets, into the dominant player. "It just isn't going to happen," he said, adding that "the way Android's going to continue to be successful is to be neutral."
Android continues to make gains on its rivals, including in areas hard-hit by the European currency crisis. More than 300 million Android devices have been activated to date, up from 200 million in November, Rubin said. About 850,000 Android devices were being activated every day, up from a rate of 700,000 in December, he said.
The success of Android helps Google to ensure that its search engine, mapping and other services are preloaded on mobile devices.
Android is the No. 1 operating system for smartphones but it lags far behind Apple in the tablet category, and it's facing new competition from rival Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, which is powered by Android software but doesn't include a suite of Google services. Rubin said that 12 million Android tablets had been activated, but "that's less than I'd expected it to be if you really want to win." He said, without offering specifics, that this year Android would "double down to win in that space."
Even before the Motorola acquisition, Android was working on a project in which Google would design and market a consumer electronic device under its name. Rubin's team has been overseeing the production of a Google-branded Android device that could stream music and other digital media, such as online video, to TVs, speakers or other devices in people's homes, people familiar with the matter have said. Rubin wouldn't comment on the product but said that in the "post-PC era," one of Google's aims was to help "the 20 screens in your home" to interact with one another and feed content from the Web into them.
When Google completes the Motorola acquisition, it also will inherit the company's patent-infringement legal battles against Google rivals Microsoft and Apple, which have been targeting companies that build handsets using Android software.
The "patent system can't keep up" with innovations happening in the mobile market, Rubin said. But he added that "there's a balancing effect" underway that could help ease the conflicts, including the Motorola acquisition, which will give Google patents to help protect its hardware partners in certain legal disputes.

I don't think this is doing what you intend it to do.
First, you're conditionally calling sk_allocation() if
'sk' is non-NULL. But then later you unconditionally
use sk_allocation() in the alloc_skb() call.
Furthermore, in the conditionalized case you're using
"skb->sk" instead of plain "sk" which is what you actually
checked against NULL.
I have no fundamental problem with this change, so please
audit this patch for similar problems, fix them all up,
and resubmit.
I'm also tossing the rest of your networking changes since
they'll have some dependency on this one, please resend those
at the same time as the fixed up version of this one.

Took some adjustment to get used to online classes and now it's easy
Academic Experience:
I haven't started classes yet, but I can tell I won't get bored or frustrated with unwanted classes. It is a streamlined curriculum, that is solely what I'm going back to school for. I work full time and have 2 kids, so the fact that I can be job ready at the end of 9 months is what got me hooked on Allen School.
Student Body:
Most of the students enrolled are hard working, most have full time jobs. All of us though, want to strive for a better future and that attribute really comes out in the discussions. It is easy to see why Allen School is known for their graduates. Their is definitely a readiness to learn and finish the program among the students. We all have lives, but at Allen School they understand that, and make the transition to student that much easier.
Academic Experience:
The courses were exactly what was explained in the beginning and keeping focused was easier than expected.
Academic Experience:
This has been a very rewarding experience. The Adviser, and all other personnel have been professional and extremely helpful. Knowing that they are there to help with anything is confidence boosting. I am looking forward to the completion of my classes and the Allen School experience enriching my future.

M Bhagavantha Rao, managing director of State Bank of Hyderabad, believes that a policy push could unleash the animal spirit in the economy, referred to by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently.He expects to see at least 25-basis points reduction in rates. Edited excerpts:
What are your concerns as a banker because of the slowing Indian economy?
Our key concern is the rate of interest as it impacts several of our borrowers. It particularly affects industries and especially the medium and small scale enterprises. We have not been able to really make any change in the base rate because of the high cost of deposits. We expect some relief on July 31.

Miley Cyrus tops Maxim's annual "Hot 100" list.
Right. The skinny Disney kid with the weird haircut.
"If feels amazing to be the No. 1," Cyrus told Maxim. "It's every woman's fantasy to be told she's No. 1 on Maxim's Hot 100! So crazy!"
According to the Huffington Post, Maxim said Cyrus held the top spot from the very beginning of four months' worth of reader voting.
"This pixie-haired beauty brought it home for America, storming to the top spot the first week of voting and never losing command of her seat of world power," said the Maxim press release. "So as we officially rename 2013 the Year of the Miley, let's all party in the U.S.A. and rock out to her collaborations with Maxim heroes like Snoop Lion and will.i.am. Miley, we hereby anoint thee Queen of Our Hearts."
OK, just stop.
Cyrus is followed on the list by Selena Gomez, whose bikini-wearing, bong-smoking role in "Spring Breakers" undoubtedly helped to magnify her sex appeal this year. Rihanna, Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lawrence round out the top five.
There were some surprises. "Today" show host Hoda Kotb is No. 79. Right -- the one who gets drunk with Kathie Lee Gifford. Maxim refers to the 48-year-old as an "Egyptian goddess."
California's attorney general Kamala Harris -- who received global attention when President Obama referred to her as "by far, the best looking attorney general in the country," made the list at No. 54.
And just for fun, Manti Te'o's imaginary girlfriend was listed at No. 69.
In the upset department, Beyoncé failed to crack the top 10, landing at No. 14. Megan Fox and Blake Lively were ranked in the 20s, while Ashley Benson and Kat Dennings placed in the 80s. Sophia Vergara fell to No. 49.
Salma Hayek didn't make the list at all. Hoda Kotb was 49, but no Salma Hayek.
Someone over at Maxim needs to be arrested.

The sun will continue to shine on the FXX Network.
The FX offshoot confirmed Friday that it has ordered an additional two seasons of signature comedy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Insofar as "Sunny" had already been confirmed for a tenth season, the deal will take the show through a twelfth.
Both seasons will consist of ten episodes.
"Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton are three of the most talented comedy writers and producers in our business, not to mention very gifted actors," said FX's Nick Grad. "This deal is a testament to their skill, intelligence and work ethic, which combined to earn them one of the best overall deals in TV. Not bad for three guys who shot a pilot 10 years ago for $200 and a few pizzas."
The new deal also includes a straight-to-series order for a Tracy Morgan sitcom that the trio will produce and run.

Alex Katz: A Matter of Light
July 13 - September 15, 2013
Curator: Diana Tuite
Whatever the medium in which he works, artist Alex Katz endeavors to record his experience of optical sensations. Featuring an array of prints, drawings, and paintings from the permanent collection, this installation demonstrates Katz's study of light and shadow and, especially, their relationships to flat color. In his depiction of windows ablaze within a dark façade, for example, or sunlight striking a figure's head and shoulders, Katz succeeds in rendering light with extraordinary materiality.

Book of Job
Book of Job Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Job contains both poetry and prose, and the bigwigs think that the different sections may have been written at different times. What do you think? How does Job's prose frame story affect its poetic middle? And vice versa?
- The Book of Job is all about trying to translate the divine into something humans can use in everyday life. But wait—if God is so hard to understand, why do people believe in him?
- This is one of the first times we see Satan in the Hebrew Bible. What is Satan's role in the story, and how is it different than the Satan of today?
- Job's friends help him, sure, but then they go off on these long rants about the nature of life and how badly Job must have messed up. Are these real friends? What is the nature of friendship in Job?
- God actually does address Job in the end, but many scholars argue that his answer fails to tackle Job's questions. Do you buy God's argument that Job has no ability to understand the ways of the divine?
- What are some differences between Job's three friends and Elihu? Job does question God, but he never shifts into full atheist mode. Why doesn't Job ever abandon God completely?
- By the time the book ends, everything is all hunky dory, right? What does the ending of the book say about Job and God's relationship?
- One of the main questions in the Book of Job is how a just God could exist when suffering is so common on Earth. How is the book designed to appeal to a skeptical audience?
- Faith and reason have never exactly been best bros, but this story takes it to a whole new level. How does the idea of blind faith play into Job's story and claim?

GAC Special Follows Trace
Trace Adkins recently went overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan to perform for U.S. military personnel, and his mission is the subject of a new GAC special, Trace Adkins: X (Ten) Days, premiering Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
In correlation with the title of his new album, X, which will also be released Nov. 25, Trace dedicated ten days to performing for 10,000 United States military personnel in partnership with the USO. "It's our duty to make sure those men and women know we appreciate them putting their lives on the line for us every day," says Trace. "You are playing for a crowd that is more appreciative and responsive than any other crowd you'll ever play for again and you just want to make them smile. That's what it was about for me." Trace performed many of his biggest hits on the tour, including "Ladies Love Country Boys," "Arlington " and his current single, "Muddy Water."

Pinot Noir is one of the more challenging grapes to grow well in Virginia; summers are too hot and humid for proper growth, late ripening increases likelihood for rot. However, Rockbridge founder "Shep" Rouse knew his Shenandoah Valley location with its cooler than average temps more closely mirror Bordeaux than the balance of the state. He planted a majority of his new vineyard to Pinot Noir.
Dark violet in the glass the color runs form rim to rim. A nose filled with plum and raisin leads to a sharper than anticipated attack. The earthy midpalate has baked strawberry notes, an undercurrent of blueberries and a touch of leather. The slightly smoky finish lingers nicely with continued plum themes and round, light tannins.
The bottle aging makes this Pinot Noir sturdier than the average Pinot. I would not hesitate to pair this wine with braised beef or even lamb. It would pair equally well with grilled zucchini. If you serve with spicy fare try chilling the wine slightly before serving.
This wine is drinking exceedingly well now and will not increase in complexity with additional bottle aging. This wine is the perfect to be enjoyed along with the falling snow of a mid winters storm (despite today's January temp of 70°)

Corporate Advocacy Program™
It was sold to me that they would build a marketing campaign centered around my service, obtain about 200+ new companies that have a history of working with Allen and Associates. They bragged about having a unique system where they would follow up on all calling campaigns assigned to their contacts.
It sounded like a unique approach to finding a new job. I was told by Eric Gustifson (Minnesota) that I would be assigned a customer support manager and they (including my sales representative Erik would be proactively working for me to help design and call on these contacts once my campaign was completed.
It was positioned to me that their value add was different then other placement firms in that they would contact these names for me considering I already had a job working 40-50 hours per week. I really thought this was a good fit for me because Allen and Associates would put together their campaign for me identify contacts within their network and make the follow up calls on these contacts is a perfect fit.
I asked them if I could pay half upfront and pay the rest once the campaign was completed. Erik told me that they cannot do this. There slick response was "because Allen and Associates would build this custom marketing campaign for me and the fact that they would have new inroads within their customer base, they assured me that is would be worth the investment and that I would be able to find a better job within 90 days".
1. Allen and Associates came up with only 100 companies to market to not the 200 that would be recommended. Strike One
2. Their supposedly "contacts" was a D&B listing that you can put together yourself if you know how to do it. The contacts that they provided me to call on were very caught off guard by my calls and directed me to HR --Strike two
3. Resume that was delivered by them was less than detailed leaving many of my accomplishments left out. --Strike Three
4. Found out after the campaign was delivered to me that it was my responsibility for all calling efforts. I told him that it was my impression that they were going to do it for me and that is why I purchased their services. Erik tried to convince me that it only takes 10-15 minutes to call on these contacts. I indicated to him that I already have a full time job and this is why I hired them to do this.--Strike Four
5. They know that I am an upset customer and I left them messages and a honest but brutal customer survey and they have yet to return my phone calls. --Strike 5
Danielle was my customer support manager was never was proactive in me or my campaign. I felt that I needed to be the one who is proactive in contacting her and go over their program with her. Left her a voicemail and it took her 10 days to return it.
Kari Slade has never approached my concerns nor has she returned any of my phone calls either.
Erik Gustifson has yet to proactively call me to see how their "rock solid approach" is working for me.
I recommend that anyone who comes in contact with Allen and Associates, STAY AWAY or you will be taken advantage of.
If they try to convince you that these complaints you are reading about are false or misleading, RUN AWAY or else you will loose $2000-3000 dollars

When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter's pet turtle, it's the last straw. Peter has put up with Fudge for too long. How can he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?
Explore our full list of Judy Blume titles.
©1972 Judy Blume; (P)2002 Random House Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group
"It should be true that the author is the best narrator of his/her own work, and Blume more than fulfills this expectation. In a children's title, it's especially grand if the reader can capture all of the bratty, sweet, and simple nuances of the little characters. Blume is great as the parents, pretentious boss, and older brother, and she outdoes herself with two-year-old Fudge. She throws the perfect temper tantrum and cajoles adults with the best of them. All listeners, regardless of age, can identify with the exasperation of the older child who's often called upon to parent." (AudioFile)
"Terrible narration"
The author's read is terrible, constantly jumping between speaking so low she can't be understood, to reading so loud that the audio distorts. She also does not have a lot of range in the tone of her reading.
I'm not blind drunk, I'm just blind.
"Definitely not a waste of credits."
I've been a fan of this book since a teacher read it to me and the rest of my class when I was in, fittingly enough, the fourth grade. It tells the story of Peter Hatcher and the trials and tribulations he goes through having a little brother like Farley Drexel AKA Fudge. Such misadventures include Fudge causing Peter's advertiser father to lose a potential client, to jumping off a set of monkey bars and losing a few of his own teeth, culminating in an act so bizarre even now I find it hard to imagine. Audible had this book, read by the lady of the hour herself. I've always been rather skeptical of authors reading their own novels since some just don't have the voice for it (Stephen King comes to mind for me rather quickly as does Douglas Adams), but Judy, though she took a little bit of getting used to, grew on me. The author knows what is or her characters should sound like and Judy does them justice, from Peter to his parents, even Fudge's temper tantrums. An excellent book brought excellently to life, and by its author no less. I always like it when an author is able to read their own work and actually give it personality.
"Judy is a great writer."
No, the audio version is great for road trips, but I found the narrators (Judy Bloom) performance lacking. I think a voice actor would have been better at playing the various characters
Mostly neutral occasionally annoying
My boys 5 and 7 laughed almost all the way through! they both got a little sad toward the end
Some of the language and descriptions are obviously "of there time" and I had to explain to my kids what a "junkie" was and explain that people used to get mugged more often in Manhattan when the book was written.
"the best book ever"
i love this book everyone should read it
"loved it!"
loved listening to this with my 4th grade daughter. she loved that u read or when i was her age
"Great Story, horrible Audio Book"
I've been a fan of Mrs. Blume since I was a child, and always will be -- but this audio book did not do the story justice. I wanted to introduce my 10 year old, who is entering the 4th grade this book - and thought I would try something special with an audio version. Not the best choice, and I did return it. This book, and the series of books that came out of it - are amazing. Just chose a different medium than the audio book.
"My kids loved listening to this book!"
I loved Judy Blume as a kid and now my children are hooked too! She does a great job narrating too.
Annika R
"My 6 year old LOVED it!"
My 6 year old thought that the character Fudge was really funny and loved the goofy things he did. She is now a BIG Judy Blume fan and we plan to check out all her other books!
"Great Children Story"
My daugter (11) and her friend listned to this with me while on a car drive. The length was perfert for the trip. We all enjoyed the story and had many a laugh. My daugther has since become engrossed in reading all the books.
Fudge was hillarious
Found the book to be very funny at times

Could Trade-Secrets Flap Lead to Indictment of Hilton?
Sometimes, the wheels of justice just turn slowly, so so slowly. At least more slowly than the hyperkinetic news cycle would like them to turn.
Back in April, we though the corporate-espionage kerfuffle that had cropped up involving two hotel giants — Hilton and Starwood — was going to provide grist for the LB mill all summer. (Click here and here for earlier posts). But the dog days came and went, and nary a story broke.
Alas, today we have news, courtesy of the erstwhile Law Blogger-turned-private-equity-reporter Peter Lattman. Lattman reports that a federal grand jury is investigating whether Hilton and several of its former executives should face criminal charges for allegedly stealing tens of thousands of pages of confidential documents from rival Starwood Hotels.
The grand jury is part of a six-month-old Justice Department probe into allegations that Hilton, owned by private-equity firm Blackstone Group, used trade secrets taken by former Starwood executives, who defected to Hilton last year, to develop its own luxury brand to compete with Starwood's successful W chain. In April, Starwood sued Hilton, accusing its rival of using stolen confidential Starwood documents to develop a new luxury hotel chain.
Now, in regard to the criminal probe, federal prosecutors are considering an aggressive approach, potentially bringing criminal charges against Hilton itself, in addition to possible charges against individuals, people familiar with the matter said.
The investigation, which is being handled by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, is expected to reach a conclusion in the next two months, these people said. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment.
A spokeswoman for Hilton, which was until recently known as Hilton Hotels Corp., declined to comment on the specifics of the investigation, but said that the company is cooperating fully with the U.S. attorney's office.

Flavia Pansieri is the Executive Coordinator of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme.
Road to Rio: People's voluntary involvement is key | Flavia Pansieri
04 Jun 2012
Volunteering is a key driver of the changes needed in our societies to achieve sustainable development. If we - each one of us - don't engage, participate and be the change we seek, how can we expect to build a sustainable future for generations to come?
Every single person is acting for sustainable development, by helping friends and family, by recycling waste, by teaching the kids how to turn off the tap. Most people engage voluntarily without even thinking about it, just because they know it is the right thing to do. Some people volunteer further, and get involved in development or environmental action for a week, for a month, for a year. Their work, big or small, might sometimes go unnoticed to the world. But their actions count in the communities that benefit from their hard work.
That is where the power of volunteering comes in. Recent comparative international studies give an idea of the scope of volunteerism. For example, the Gallup World Poll (GWP) concludes that 16 per cent of adults worldwide volunteer for an organization. The Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project (CNP) finds that the number of volunteers contributing through voluntary organizations in 36 countries, taken together, would make the ninth largest country in the world in terms of population, with 140 million people. The CNP also finds that the economic contribution of volunteers in the 36 countries represents an average of 1.1 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in these countries. This amounts to 400 billion US dollars annually.
In June world leaders will be gathering in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20. This is the opportunity to build the future we want. For this historic gathering UNV has launched the Volunteer Action Counts campaign to make volunteering, citizen participation and civil society engagement a central part of that future. UNV's campaign gives people a chance to show what they are doing already, today, for the future of our planet.
All volunteers, communities and organizations can show what they are doing for sustainable development by getting volunteering actions counted on the campaign website. These will be presented at Rio+20 through a multimedia presentation showing the counted voices of volunteers worldwide.
Achieving sustainable development will require volunteers and people's participation at all levels. Let´s show that our actions count.
Talk to us: How are you volunteering to build a sustainable future? Tell the world on www.volunteeractioncounts.org, Twitter (#ActionCounts) or Facebook.

The former Speaker of the House will be in South El Monte Monday before he takes the stage at Castle Green in Pasadena to speak to supporters and the curious at 5 p.m.
In some ways the appearance underscores a deep divide in the Republican Party as Gingrich continues to duke it out with Mitt Romney, according to Pasadena conservative activist Michael Alexander
While the Republican establishment is urging the party to coalesce around the moderate Romney, many conservatives aren't yet sold on the former Massachusetts governor.
"Mr. Romney is not making the sale," said Alexander, who runs the Pasadena Tea Party Patriots, also known as TEAPAC. The group is sponsoring Gingrich's appearance. Late last year the group hosted Rep. Michele Bachmann at the same location.
The key for Romney so far has been fundraising. He holds and advantage and his campaign has been supported by a massive organization. Despite that wealth of resources, conservatives have been reluctant to get behind the man Gingrich has called a "Massachusetts moderate."
"Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have the same problem: they can't break 50 percent approval. Obama (has problems) across the country and Romney in the Republican Party," Alexander said.
After winning the Florida primary, Romney gained momentum and support from Republican political operatives across the country and in California.
"I think Mitt Romney has more favorability against Obama head to head," state Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, said. "I think Republicans will rally around him. He has a very strong network and the bottom line is he's been focused on the issues residents care about. He's a job creator and a creator of economic growth."
State Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, has joined with other Republicans like state Assemblyman Paul Cook, R-Yucaipa, in backing Romney.
Hagman, who stumped for Texas Gov. Rick Perry in Iowa said "Newt has great ideas," but added Gingrich has never won a statewide contest, and he's always been in Congress.
"He's never been in the executive branch, and that may give Mitt some advantages as well," Hagman said.
Political pundits point to Gingrich's reputation as the reason he can't win in the fall.
"Newt Gingrich is among the most deeply unpopular politicians in the United States outside of the Republican base," said Jack Pitney, Claremont McKenna College professor. "Very few people like him, and even within the Republican Party (those) that know him, like him the least."
But even as Romney seemed a shoe-in to many following his Florida win, that victory was tempered by losses by Romney in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri to Rick Santorum. That inability to pull away has cast more doubt on whether the former Massachusetts governor can win over conservatives.
And as the Republican establishment has fallen in love with Romney, Alexanders warns that conservatives may not fall in line.
"Republicans need to be concerned about conservative turnout with Romney on the ballot and they are not," Alexander said.
He doubts Romney will even attempt to be competitive in California and his presence at the top of the ticket might have a negative down ballot effect in competitive congressional races.
Conservatives would stay home thus putting the gains made in the 2010 midterm election in jeopardy, Alexander said.
And while Romney is deeply flawed as a candidate, he has deep pockets and more moderate political positions that are key to attracting independent voters, Pitney said.
Political science professor Renee Van Vechten of the University of Redlands said she believed Romney will likely take the nomination.
"My sense right now is that Romney will come out the winner," Van Vechten said. "Slow and steady wins the race, but he also has the faith of the Republican establishment. Gingrich doesn't, and in the end, that matters."
But even as political pundits and establishment Republicans have been quick to endorse Romney in recent weeks, Alexander said the nomination contest is far from over and betting the house on Romney may not be wise.
"Far less than 10 percent of the delegate count has been allocated," Alexander said. "We haven't even started the election and people are trying to shut the race down."
Alexander called the electability argument a "red herring" and said Romney's negative campaigning in Florida is what led to questions about Gingrich's prospects in the fall.
Neither Romney nor Gingrich polls well against Pres. Barack Obama.
According to the ABC News/Washington Post poll Obama leads Romney by six points in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up and Gingrich by 11 points in the same scenario.
In the end, the race for president will likely be a referendum on the economy.
"The big determinant will be the economy," Pitney said. "If the economy is looking pretty good, then Obama wins. If not, then he loses."
The jobs report released last week showed the recovery appears to be picking up steam and with it, so is Obama's approval rating, which ticked up to 48.8 percent in the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, which now outpaces the number of those polled who disapprove of his performance by two percentage points.

It's a unique experience to visit the town of Brugges, by doing both a walking tour and canal boat ride, alike, as we did both. The canal boat ride was peaceful & relaxing and allowed yourself to unwind while taking in the distinct flavors of Brugges' architectural building styles, which was quite interesting I thought. Going under the narrow-topped tunnels was kinda neat too! The walking tour is very informative, and you do walk a goodly amount of distance both before the canal boat ride and after.
There are tons of places to shop in Brugges. The most notable shops they boast are chocolate factory stores everywhere. Then there are the Belgium fries and Belgium waffles which you can splurge on in addition to the many chocolate stores we found along the streets. I'd highly recommend visiting Brugges to anyone who's interested in shopping, eating, and who craves for chocolates, while enjoying the architectural styles of this quaint, charming little village! It was a favorite of mine!! :0)
7.) London, England (via Dover) ~ For this port of call, we chose the tour called "Scenic London & Free Time".
The amount of free time given was exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes, as I looked at my watch, from 150 PM to 3 PM, and the free time was given at the end of this tour.
Again, just like in Paris, many of the sites you see in London are whilst onboard the motorcoach bus, with only a couple stops made. The first stop we made was at the Tower of London Bridge. Here you had lots of time to take pictures, and make a quick sneak peek inside the Tower shops. We could also take photos of the new city hall, too.
Afterwards, we passed by Big Ben, Parliament Square, and Westminster Abby. No stops were made at these locations, so you had to take pictures from the bus, which was sometimes a challenge. My favorite, most picturesque monuments were at Parliament Square. I'd have liked to had a stop here.
Instead, though, we were given a stop at Buckingham Palace, where we were able to get out of the motorcoach and have a goodly amount of free time to take pictures of the outside of the palace, the gold-topped gate, and fountains in front as well.
After Buckingham Palace we visited Kensington Place where we were dropped off for free time right next to the famed Harrod's department store. Harrod's is to London as Saks 5th Avenue is to the United States, just as a point of reference for you to understand. We had 1 hour and 10 minutes of shopping time there in Kensington Place, before we were taken to the Heathrow Airport.
Again, this was what I'd call an "Introductory Tour to London". It just passes by pointing out the highlights of London mostly from the motorcoach bus, so you'd have to be quick to take pictures from the motorcoach bus.
I'd recommend folks to take an open-air, 2-tiered (double decker) bus, that has no roof, so you won't have glare on your pictures from any windows, and no roof obstructions to your pictures. Just dress warmly as it is cool in London, but at least you'll be able to take better pictures on the top 2nd deck of a London red bus, as there won't be any window glares to your pictures, and you'll be able to take pictures on the left and right no matter where you're sitting as there's no roof to that bus.
Traffic in London was enormous and extremely SEVERE! The streets are terribly slow as there's a population of 7.25 million inhabitants residing in London, England and about a total of between 11 to 16 million transiting per day!
Our 3rd stop was at Jeronimo's Monastery, which provided for nice pictures both inside and outside.
Our 4th stop was made at the Tower of Belem, where Portuguese explorers were seen-off. Must hurry at this location as only 10 minutes was given, and it costs money to go up inside the Tower of Belem too, which there was no time given to do this.
Our final 5th stop was made at the Monument of Discoveries on the banks of the Tagus River, erected in 1960. Again, must hurry as you'll only be given 5 to 10 minutes here.
I was a bit upset at the tour guide for rushing us so quickly on this tour, particularly near the last couple of stops, as we were rushed to get pictures. Overall, just a so-so tour. I could take it or leave it. It's not the worst tour I've taken in my life, but it's also not the best either.
The drive on motorcoach between the port of Le Havre and Paris takes about 2 hours & 40 minutes to arrive to Paris.
Once we got inside the Paris city district, the first stop was made at a plaza overlooking the fountains in the foreground, followed by the Eiffel Tower in the background. From here, you can take some panoramic photos of the Eiffel Tower & fountains. There were tons of people there, so it'll be hard to get a photo without others in the way, unless you go up to the ledge to take photos.
After that stop, we spent a long amount of time driving through the streets of Paris. Nearly all the sites we seen were from the windows of the motorcoach. You will pass by the Arc de Triomphe a couple times for pictures, and you'll also pass by the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the side of the Louvre. You will NOT get to go inside the Louvre, nor the Cathedral. You also will not be able to go up the Eiffel Tower on this tour either, as the lines are long, and time too short.
We did make one more stop on the streets of Paris, to get a picture stop at one of the monuments, and only were given about 10 minutes to do so.
Otherwise the final 3rd stop was made at the foot of the Eiffel Tower for our River Lunch Cruise on the Seine River.
This was a special & memorable moment. We were served lunch aboard a glass enclosed river boat capsule, which was completely surrounded by glass from roof-to-floor windows. We were very close to the water of the Seine River, maybe only 3 ft from the water sitting very low, but had complete views from floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the Seine River, we were served blueberry champagne, White Wine, Red Wine, and a salad, followed by a main lunch dish of Salmon & stuffed tomato with bell peppers, and then a dessert, which was a pistachio-based ice cream derivative, garnished with warm apricots; quite tasty! The wine was complimentary with the meal! You could consume as much wine as you'd like, & then they'd keep filling up your glass. (That's what made this tour so expensive, was the all the wines & champagnes!) Some tables went through 4 bottles of wine, I learned!
After visiting and seeing the sites on the Seine River lunch cruise, it returned to the same point on the dock it originally departed from, and we were given 1 hour of time for shopping which was right near the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately this area was NOT embedded within a shopping district, so shopping was very tight. They did have a souvenir store right next to the river boat dock that offered a few samplings of souvenirs, but nothing extravagant.
My advice is that if you're looking to do some serious shopping in Paris, then do another tour besides this one. Also, if you're wanting to make many stops to visit many sites, you'll have to choose another tour other than this one as well, as this tour that I went on, is ONLY what I'd call an "Introductory tour of Paris". This means most of what you see is while you're on the motorcoach, and you drive-by many sites without stopping.
The river boat lunch cruise on the famous Paris' Seine River was definitely a memorable experience, something I won't forget. I've never seen a river boat constructed quite like this before, with floor-to-ceiling windows! Music was played while you ate and cruised the Seine River. A live-playing violinist serenaded your table while you ate and took in the sites along the Seine River. A couple, I saw, even chose to dance on the dance floor, too!
Visiting Paris was 1 of my 3 favorite ports of call I did during our 7 ports of call.

The Ghosts of Omonia SquarePosted: August 30, 2012 Filed under: Essay, Photography, Travel | Tags: Athens, cities, crisis, EU, Greece, politics, travel, urban landscapes Leave a comment
This just up at The Margins, with photos, one last dispatch from Athens, this time with hookers, junkies, immigrants, and cops.
At night, the junkies take over the square. They are almost vaporously thin, like the dead even before they shoot up. They have ruined most of their veins and bend forward to stick the needle in the backs of their knees or other parts of their legs. The happy ones are curled up fetally, oblivious to everything. A tall South Asian man with a tense, fierce face asks me several nights in a row if I want anything. "Hash? Junk? Anything?"

More than lives lost in Oak ParkPosted: August 9, 2012 Filed under: Essay, News | Tags: gurdwaras, Oak Park, shootings, Sikhism, Sikhs Leave a comment
In the current issue of Open Magazine, I have a more personal response to the killings in Oak Park, Wisconsin.
Beyond the lives tragically lost, it is the attack on this institution that I feel most deeply, for the gurdwara is not only a place of worship and service, but also one of real community and, for the children, of uninhibited play where the demands of parents are relaxed and the spectre of bullies a distant threat.

I didn't write the headline on the published piece, and nor is that what I say. And the paragraph breaks on the online version are a mess. Not mine for sure.
As a Sikh, as an American, the latest, the murder of five Sikhs and a police officer at a gurudwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, hits home for me, and home hard.

In Punjab these days, the almost universal ubiquity of bhangra is creating a deadening musical monoculture, and it's a monoculture that's a broad reflection of the state of Punjabi culture as a whole.

Dear Friend of Idaho State University,
At Idaho State University, one of our duties is to always look to the future. One of the main missions of a world-class university is to equip the next generation of leaders in all fields with the tools needed to succeed.
Our partnership at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) is one of the ways we fulfill our mission. At CAES, researchers are making discoveries that could change the way we look at energy. Working alongside them, students are learning how they can make new discoveries themselves.
Recently, for the third year, CAES awarded 20 scholarships to interns at the Idaho National Laboratory, including a scholarship to one of our students, Dane Sterbentz, a nuclear engineering major. Since 2008, CAES has awarded $32,000 in scholarship money to promising students.
This week, campus is once again buzzing with promising students, ready to take on another semester of learning, including thousands of freshmen beginning their college careers.
We're happy to see them. The word about quality programs at ISU continues to spread. This year, our ISU Ambassadors conducted more than 1,500 individual campus tours. Idaho State University was present at 39 college fairs in nine different states, and visited nearly 100 Idaho high schools. Through our recruitment efforts, more than 300,000 students were exposed to Idaho State University in some way during the 2009-2010 academic year. The result is more top-quality students hearing about and choosing our university for their learning journey.
Recently, we saw what happens when we share the good news with potential students. For the past two years, record-breaking numbers of students have come to campus early for New Student Orientation. This fall, approximately 1,500 students, 500 more than last year's record-breaking number, came to learn about services and catch some Idaho State University spirit.
Our university is much more than our campuses. We are a part of the community. This fall marked the first annual "Orange and Black are Back, A CommUniversity Event." Southeast Idaho businesses and community members hosted a welcome back party for students, faculty and staff. The energy at the event was apparent, and gave Pocatello the feeling of a university town. It's a new tradition that I am excited to say will continue.
It's a new academic year, and our future looks bright here at Idaho State University. Welcome back to all students, faculty, staff and visitors. We are glad you are here, and look forward to many great things this year.
Go Bengals!
Arthur C. Vailas, Ph.D.
President, Idaho State University

They've got televisions in every damned restaurant these days. "It was my favorite swimsuit," says a spokesmodel. "I felt sexy in it but confident." A news anchor with aerodynamic hair looks me in the eye and says our passwords on the internet will be replaced by our retinas and heartbeats. "It might happen sooner than you think," she says. I walk through large malls with nothing that I need. Somebody in North Dakota tells me I can buy my own drone for $300.
An old TV in the corner of the bar shows a cigar-chomping real estate developer paving a highway over Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole. "You can either move out or we'll blast ya out!" I wait for Bugs to pull out his bazooka while an old man hollers into his phone, "Just flip on your windshield wipers when it ain't raining and you'll see what I'm talking about." This sounds profound, like a new way of looking at the world. Imagine the possibilities.
Whenever I look at the news I see lunatic sentences: He said the 'secular left' undermines American values established by the Founding Fathers… Or: I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute. This election has been going on for thirty-two years now, ever since they wrote a script for the actor in the cowboy hat. Each year they put more explosions in the screenplay, desperate to keep the audience in their seats.
I try to block out the political chatter but the information seeps into my head nonetheless, polling statistics and flubbed soundbites flowing through some collective membrane while we sleep. Grown men yell about the threat of birth control and gay marriage and people take this seriously. I flip on the news and see war in everybody's eyes. The fundamentalists want to invade the fundamentalists. Perhaps it's a good time for America to end. In 1917, Jacques Vaché argued that true protest required more than deserting a war or a nation. It demanded "desertion from within." Tend my garden. Read more fiction. Cheer the end of nations. I'd like to visit Havana but my country won't let me.

Gas line ruptures in indio
POSTED: 04:16 AM PST Dec 24, 2013 UPDATED: 03:17 PM PDT Sep 16, 2013
A gas line ruptured at an Indio construction site around 1:40 this afternoon on the 83-600 block of Dr. Carreon Blvd near Van Buren St, according to Cal Fire.
Cal Fire is assisting the Gas Company, who have been called to the scene to stop the leak. Cal Fire says a construction crew struck the gas line, causing the break.
Authorities evacuated a few nearby residents, as a precaution, as repairs were made.
