So What Is Ordinary Time?
Back to Its Roots
Teens: The Joys of Summertime
Kids: The Everyday Living Out of Our Faith
"The little things? The little moments? They aren't little." A few months ago, I taped that quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn on my computer monitor where I can see it every day. I put it there because I realized that, somewhere along the way, I had forgotten to see the joy and blessings in the ordinary, everyday moments of life.
That became very clear to me recently when both my kids had their tonsils and adenoids removed. For two weeks, we spent a lot of time snuggling on the couch watching movies or doing other calm activities. In those two weeks I came to realize—and remember—that I love Scooby-Doo, Play-Doh, coloring, reading to my kids and playing board games. And I came to realize that on most days those things had taken a backseat to other tasks I deemed more important.
So What Is Ordinary Time?
But does the Catholic Church's season of Ordinary Time equal mundane or normal? Certainly not. In fact, Ordinary Time actually means that which is ordered or numbered. But Ordinary Time plays a very important role in our faith.
For instance, imagine if every day were a holiday. After a while they would start to lose their importance or fail to be special, wouldn't they? Thus the need for Ordinary Time.
In the Church year, there are two liturgical periods of Ordinary Time—one following the Advent/Christmas season (beginning on the Monday after the Baptism of the Lord until Ash Wednesday) and again from Pentecost to the first Sunday of Advent. During this time, you will notice that the readings focus on the everyday events and preaching of Jesus' life.
Given the events of the past couple months in our Church—the death and burial of Pope John Paul II and the convening of the conclave to elect the next pope with all its traditions and ceremony—it may seem that our religion is anything but ordinary. But those events actually demonstrate the message of Ordinary Time quite well. For even though we were all caught up in this important occasion at the time, the life of the Church carried on; our faith carried on. We were still called on a daily basis to live out our faith.
Back to Its Roots
Ordinary Time is a good reminder to slow down and take a look at how we are living out our faith every day. Here are some suggestions for making the most of Ordinary Time:
• Look through your photo albums or watch home movies. Take special notice of the "ordinary" times you've documented, such as playing in the backyard, a day at the pool or beach, etc.
• Try to recall some of your most cherished memories. Are they from major life events, holidays or special occasions? Or are they memories of everyday occurrences? For instance, while I certainly cherish events in my life such as my wedding and the births of my children, one of my most cherished memories is when my oldest sister, Beth, sat and carefully glued back together a ceramic frog of mine that had been dropped and shattered. It was a visual demonstration to me of compassion, patience and love.
• During this period of Ordinary Time, find ways to make the ordinary ex-traordinary. Attend Mass at a different parish or at a different time. Say family prayers at a time other than you normally would, such as before dinner. Perhaps gather and say family prayers before bed. Or gather outside on the patio for prayers. Find different ways to change your faith routine.
• Remind yourself to slow down and appreciate life's ordinary moments. Take time to read a book, walk in your garden, hug or kiss your kids or grandkids, enjoy the rain or the feel of the grass on your bare feet.
Next Month: Our Faith Traditions in Action
Teens: The Joys of Summertime
Not only are we in the period of Ordinary Time in our faith, you are probably starting your summer vacation from school. After you've spent the entire school year swamped with homework and afterschool activities, give yourself this time off. Granted, many of you might be working summer jobs, but try to make the most of your summer break. Go to an amusement park, the swimming pool or a movie, or have a grill-out at someone's house and just talk. Some of my best memories came from when my friends and I were just "hanging out."
Kids: The Everyday Living Out of Our Faith
Ordinary Time is a period when we should focus on ways in which we are living out our faith on a daily basis. Stop and think about how you are doing that. Are you being kind to others? Are you doing good deeds? Now that it's summer and you're outside playing with your friends, are you treating them as you would like to be treated? Are you being respectful and loving toward your parents and those around you? If you are, keep up the good work! If not, take this opportunity of Ordinary Time to work on those things with which you're struggling.

As we inch closer to 2011, or more accurately, the end of 2010, Verizon's plans to burst into the 4G market get closer and closer. It looks like the 4G equipment is starting to flow into Verizon employee hands. Not a bad thing at all, especially considering that hopefully means it will start slipping out into the customer's hands sooner than later.
This time around, we've got Verizon's first LTE USB modem, which as you can see from a Boy Genius Report tipster, is very shiny. It's brandishing all of the tell-tale signs: Verizon and LTE logos, and there's even that LG brand name on the back, letting everyone know who's manufacturing this little guy.
We can also see there's room for those 4G SIM cards that showed up a few weeks ago, too. So, basically everything is coming together quite nicely for the largest wireless carrier in the United States, and they should be pretty excited about their LTE future. Unfortunately, the tipster didn't have many other details about the modem itself, so for now we'll just have to look at the pictures.

Average Rating: 4 in 5 reviews
I played Cloud 9 for the 1st time this week. We played a two games with 3 players and three games with 4 players.
The rules are well written and the play was very smooth. However, there was one annoying thing we noticed. The 1st 3 games were won by the player who was fortunate enough to draw the most wild cards. Typically, wild cards did not get played until the owner of the wild card(s) was alone in the ballon.
We figured the wild card needed to be weakened.
Suggestion 1: Instead of the wild card being sufficient to pilot the ship, we made the wild card equal to any one card (owner's choice). As before, the owner of the wild card was never obligated to play it. We adopted this change and all the players thought it was a good upgrade.
Suggestion 2: Only allow one wild card to be used in any given trip. This might introduce some interesting strategy, especially if there are only two players left in the baloon. We did not try this one.
Suggestion 3: A player cannot use a wild card when flying solo. We did not try this one either.
The rules as written make this game a 4. Fixing the wild card problem makes this game a 5.
Out of the Box has the most amazingly brilliant formula for creating games. At first glance you would almost think their main goal is simply to make their games easy to learn. This IS a major selling feature of all of their games (it's definitely part of the reason that everyone I've played with likes their games). But the amazing part is that they don't sacrifice anything in the quality of the game, when making it easy to learn.
Cloud 9 is another great example of Out of the Box brilliance. It takes me 1 minute to explain the rules of the game, but once everyone understands it takes several plays to develop strategies.
For a detailed description of the rules see other customer reviews. I will merely impart a wee bit of strategy I have developed, in anticipation that you will try this great game. My strategy is simply this, don't look at your own cards. Until you actually have to see if you have the cards to make the balloon rise, don't look. Then you have the greatest poker face of all. No one can read from your expression whether to stay in the balloon or to jump, because you are as clueless as they are. Hey, it may sound silly, but it works for me.
In conclusion I will reiterate that this is a great light game. With easy to follow instructions and very attractive components, pick this one up. It is a blast for the whole family.
One thing I've always appreciated about Out of the Box's (OOTB) games is their ability to work well with a group of people who rarely play games. I think that there are better party games than Apples to Apples, but it's definitely the first game I'll pull out when initiating a new group. Likewise, Fish eat Fish and Squint are games that are fun, short, and above all, simple to teach. Cloud Nine (Out of the Box Publishing, 2004 - Aaron Weissblum) is yet another one of those games - outrageously fun with tremendously simplistic rules, yet with only a smidgen of strategy.
When I first opened the box and saw the large plastic balloon basket piece, I knew immediately that I would enjoy the game. (This is shallow; I know, but striking components really do add to most folk's enjoyment of the game.) The theme, jumping out of a balloon before it crashes, is tantamount to a game of "chicken", and one that many people find exhilarating. (Of course, the risks in a board game are remarkably fewer.) The game is basically one of bluffing, where players attempt to ascertain the cards in opponent's hands; but there are a few small memory and strategic elements. But pure, unadulterated fun exudes from Cloud 9, and it's definitely on the short list of games that I will take with me to situations where there are groups of people who've never played many board games before. It's a terrific introductory game and certainly has that "let's play it again" feel to it.
A long, thin board is placed on the table, and each player places a pawn of their color next to the beginning of a scoring track that wraps around the outside of the board. Between the scoring track are nine spaces, each showing two, three, or four dice, and numbered in order of victory points (1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, and 25 respectively). The balloon basket is placed above the first space, and each player places a pawn of their color inside the basket. Four special six-sided dice are placed near the table, each with two blank sides, and four sides showing a different colored balloon (red, yellow, green, and purple.) A deck of cards, made up of eighteen cards of four different colors (same as on the dice) and four "Wild" cards, is shuffled and placed near the board, with six dealt to each player. One player is chosen to go first, and the game begins.
Cloud Nine is made up of several rounds or "balloon trips". Each trip starts with one player, with play proceeding clockwise around the table. The active player is the "pilot" of the balloon and rolls the number of dice indicated on the space the balloon hovers over. Each other player, starting with the player to the left of the pilot, decides whether they will "jump out", removing their token from the basket and scoring the number of victory points on the space the balloon resides or stay in the basket. After each player has made the decision, the pilot then must play, if possible, cards matching each color balloon rolled on the dice. If the pilot manages this (or plays a "wild" card, which matches ALL the balloons), the balloon rises to the next level, and the player to their left, if still in the balloon, becomes the new pilot. This continues until the pilot cannot play the cards necessary, causing the balloon to crash with no one inside scoring any points. All "jumped" tokens are placed back in the basket, and another round begins.
It's possible that the balloon might make it to the final space in which case all players still in the basket score twenty-five points, and a new round begins. Players who jump can no longer participate in rounds, until the balloon crashes or reaches 25. The pilot can never jump from the balloon, unless they are the only passenger. When a new round begins, all players are dealt one additional card, and play continues as normal with the pilot position passing to the next player. As soon as one player reaches fifty points, the game ends, and the player with the most points is the winner!
Some comments on the game...
1.) Components: The game comes in an extremely sturdy, brightly-colored box, which keeps all components snugly inside. The board folds up like a "Jacob's Ladder" with six folds but is quite durable and has a blue background, showing up well on the table. The pawns and scoring markers are wood, and the cards are thick and glossy (although they really should have put different pictures on the different colored cards - this is a critical problem for color blind people.) But certainly, the centerpiece is the plastic balloon basket structure, which is just slightly smaller than a typical computer mouse. It is mounted on two clear, plastic stands, so that it is raised above the board and has six slots in it for the tokens to "sit" in the basket. This piece looks really good and is one of the best single components I've ever seen in a game.
2.) Rules: As usual, the rules for this OOTB game were clear, simple, and well formatted. They were printed on a seven-page folded booklet of heavy cardstock, in full color with a few illustrations. The game play itself is extremely easy to teach people and just like many other OOTB games was able to be taught in less than a minute.
3.) Bluffing: The game comes down to bluffing, as players seek to not reveal to the others what cards they have in their hands. Many a game has pauses as players search their opponent's face, trying to figure out if they should jump or not. Normally, most people don't think twice about staying in the basket at lower levels, although in one game a groan from a player caused my wife to jump the basket before it even started. (The balloon went all the way to the top on that trip, causing her extreme annoyance.) It's when the balloon is on the "9", "15", and "20" spaces that things get fairly hairy. Should one take the sure points or stay in the game, hoping against hope that the balloon makes it to the top? These aren't long, drawn-out decisions, but they are slightly nail-biting and make the game a lot of fun.
4.) Other factors: If one has a good memory and remembers what a player cannot play on their previous turns, they have an advantage in the game, albeit a dim one. Players also can look at the cards in their own hands, determining whether they should jump now, knowing that their own piloting skills won't be too good. Players can also hold their wild cards until a crucial moment, saving them for that last big roll! Other than this, though, the game is just bluffing and guessing.
5.) Fun Factor: Bluffing and guessing makes for a good light game, even though many game strategists would pull their hair out with this game. There's certainly a "light" feel to the game, but the game certainly fits its niche well. It's a lot of fun to see the balloon crash on the first level for several turns in a row then suddenly rise to the top. Laughing at other players' "piloting skills" and holding your breath when people roll the dice or play/don't play cards makes this game quick and fun.
6.) Players and Time: The game lasts less than twenty minutes, as long as all players are actively involved, making decisions in eye-blinking time. I do think that the game is best with five-six players, as something is just lost with only three or four.
This game is a great deal, especially when comparing the tremendous components to its relatively inexpensive price. The game looks great, plays quickly, and is a lot of fun. No, it won't win any awards for strategy; but when searching for a filler or a game to introduce the folks at the party I'm at to quality board games, this is one of my first choices. I've often wondered about Aaron Weissblum, as he is usually (in my mind at least) paired with Alan Moon and their tremendous collaborations. But if this game is an example of what he can do on his own, well, I want him to continue on designing enjoyable games.
Tom Vasel
"Real men play board games."
First of all, I am blown away by the components in the Out of the Box edition. On opening the compact box you find a thick board that folds out to over two feet in length, a sturdy folded card containing well-written rules, six wooden pawns and scoring markers, four large custom dice, and a pack of good-quality cards. Perhaps most impressive is the molded plastic balloon basket into which players put their pawns; it stands above the game board on clear plastic legs, giving a charming impression of the theme, which is a journey up into the clouds.
This is a remake of the original edition, with only one substantial change that I know of -- the elimination of the 'pass the barn' card.
I'll just summarize the game play here; more complete descriptions are available on the page for the original game.
Players are dealt cards in four different colors. In each turn, one player is the pilot, who is responsible for making the balloon rise a level. The pilot throws 2 to 4 dice (the number increases at higher levels) which indicate what combination of cards he or she must play to make the balloon rise. All other players then have an opportunity to bail out of the balloon, winning the points for the current level. The pilot then plays the necessary cards, if able; otherwise the balloon crashes and all remaining passengers get no points.
So it is a simple risk-taking game where you evaluate the likelihood of the pilot's being able to play the necessary cards to get you to a higher-scoring level. This is largely guesswork, of course, but card-counters will have some advantage. A nice twist is that if you're sitting to the pilot's left you have to look ahead to the next turn. If you don't bail out now, you'll become pilot next turn whether you like it or not, and you don't have the opportunity to bail out then unless you're the last person in the basket.
This is no brain-burner but a quick, fun, colorful game suitable for families. I have a soft spot for the original game because it was one of the first German-style games I was introduced to. It's very pleasing to see it reissued in such an attractive format.

Facebook: Is It Time to Buy?
After weeks of getting pummeled following its botched initial-public offering, Facebook's stock is on a roll.
On Friday, the social-media giant's stock climbed 4.2% after anlaysts at Nomura Holdings rated the stock a buy and said it could be heading to $40 a share. Their reasoning?
[The analysts] believe that Facebook's (FB) industry-leading reach, engaged user base, and comprehensive user dataset will enable the company to continue to grow…. Uncertainties exist around FB's ability to improve monetization; however, our analysis of strategies to improve results underscores the favorable risk/reward at current levels and the optionality for substantial long-term earnings upside as FB continues developing its still-young monetization model.
That's a long-winded, jargon-filled way of saying that while they don't know exactly how Facebook will boost its revenues, there's a good chance the company will succeed in doing just that it. (Most of the people I spoke with for this story framed their decisions on whether to buy Facebook on just this issue.)
Facebook has now gained more than 25% since trading as low as $25.87 on June 5, and though it's still well below its $38 offering price, it's looking like some of the bad taste left by the IPO and poor early performance may be wearing off.
So, investors, is it time to buy Facebook's stock?

If you are in the TV business and want to report on flight 370 because you know viewers are watching it, but you don't want to be accused of doing it for whatever reason, what you do is talk about OTHERS covering it and criticize how these others are spending too much time on it or are doing a lousy job or whatever. It is the oldest trick in the book — you get to grab viewers attention while pretending you are not doing the story. (And yes, I think it a bit cheesy to do that – either report on it or don't report on it. Don't pretend. No one is fooled.)
Here is the truth: we in TV know people are fascinated by this mystery. We see the viewer numbers. And yes, I am fascinated by it, too. (Where is it? What happened to it?)
Just thought of something….just think of the great gig TV critics have. They pick the topic they know everyone is watching (here, flight 370) and talk about it from a "TV critic" stand point, their opinion about whether there is too much or not enough coverage etc. That's a great gig! You can't go wrong being the TV critic. You don't get your hands dirty talking about the story because you are a "TV critic" and that is your job, yet you get to talk about the big story that is drawing viewers and thus draws viewers to the critic.

Washington (Army News Service, Nov. 20, 2006) - Bonuses have doubled to $2K for Soldiers and retirees referring future Soldiers to the Referral Bonus Pilot Program.
Active-duty and reserve-component Soldiers, and Army retirees, are eligible for the referral bonus.
Soldiers working in the Hometown Recruiter Assistance Program, Special Recruiter Assistance Program, Active Duty for Special Work Program or the Future Soldier Training Program are also eligible if the prospective Soldier has not already met with a recruiter.
The bonus is not paid to Soldiers referring members of their immediate families, to include spouses, children, parents, stepparents and siblings.
Referrals should be made through the Army Referral System - Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team Web site at www.usarec.army.mil/smart. An Army Knowledge Online user name and password are required to use the site, at which Soldiers must first establish a user account to make a referral. Users will be asked to submit such personal information as their social security number to facilitate payment.
Referrals may also be made at (800) 223-3735, ext. 6-0473.
The bonus is paid in two lump sums. The first half is paid when the Soldier begins basic training, and the second half is paid after the Soldier graduates from One-Station Unit Training or Advanced Individual Training.
There are no retroactive provisions to the change. Sponsors who provided referrals before Nov. 13 are only eligible for the $1K bonus.

Quality Motorhome Batteries Are Necessary To Enjoy Your Over The Road Travels
There are two different kinds of motorhome batteries: the chassis and the coach batteries. Chassis batteries are like a car batteries; they power the engine and necessary mechanics for the RV to go. Coach batteries, on the other hand, are necessary to power the lights and appliances inside the living area. Of course, it is necessary that both of these batteries be in excellent repair, but if a replacement is necessary, there are several suppliers to which you can turn.
The Chevrolet P-Series Motorhome Battery fits a wide variety of RV's with model years from 1989 to 1998. If you drive a Winnebago, Prevost, or Fleetwood, for example from this span of time, this might be the right battery for you. It is a chassis battery with a reserve capacity of 135 minutes and a typical service life of six to eight years. It is for sale at powerstridebattery.com where it is product number 78-PC1500, and it sells for $292.50.
At amazon.com, a popular outlet for a variety of products at or near wholesale prices, you will find the Exide Orbital ORB34DC-36 Sealed VRLA (AGM) Deep-Cycle Marine/RV Battery. Made for large boats and motorhomes, this battery features 100 minutes of reserve capacity and absorbent glass mat separators to decrease vibration noises. The valves are sealed to prevent leaking for safer travels. While Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes sometimes have differing needs, you can check your owner's manual to see if this quality item would be a suitable fit for you vehicle. It is available for $229.99.
If you are driving a Holiday Rambler, Monaco, or other brand of motorhome, or if you are pulling a travel trailer, you will need a deep cycle battery to power your lights and appliances inside the coach. The 12-Volt Deep Cycle AGM RV Battery, sold at wholesale batteriesdirect.com, is built to be safe and effective. It is an exact replacement for the Lifeline Battery and can be used in its place, but sells for a lower price. At this site, you will not find RV accessories, but you will find batteries for modern RV's at wholesale prices. This battery sells for $529.95.
Another excellent resource for RV and marine supplies is batteriesinaflash.com. Here you will find the Centennial BCI Group 31 Sealed 12-Volt RV Marine Battery, product number 700CCA. Deep cycling batteries like this one are the best option for camping and boating needs; these contemporary products can withstand repeated depletion of power and recharging. You can purchase this battery for $129.95.
Several retailers sell the Diehard Marine/RV Battery with Exchange. At sears.com, it is priced at $114.99. This aftermarket battery has a reserve capacity of 180 minutes, features 675 cranking amps. It is a great universal battery from a reputable manufacturer. It will fit most motorhome needs, whether you are equipping an Airstream, Itasca, or another popular RV brand.
At americanrvcompany.com, you will find the Kipor TOZ14-4 Sealed Lead Acid Battery Leoch 68031 for campers and RV's. This is a 12-volt battery that is sealed to prevent dangerous spills or leakage. It features 230 cranking amps and up to a 10-hour rated capacity. You can purchase this battery for $131.25.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

NOV 08, 2013 - TheStreet
A Must Read - Share
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- When U.S. policymakers pushed austerity and high unemployment, cutting the deficit in half despite sluggish growth, the Federal Reserve stepped in with its program of quantitative easing.
Economists and analysts are still arguing over the impact of QE, but the alternative was to do nothing, because the usual weapon of monetary choice, cutting interest rates, was no longer available. Interest rates had fallen to near-zero.
The situation is often called "pushing on a string" or a "liquidity trap," and it now seems Europe is in it with us.

Its notabiliti is as teh homelend of Cunedda prior to his conkwuest of Noth Wales, adn as teh homelend of teh hiroic wariors iin teh literari epic ''Y Gododden''. Perssed bi teh Picts ekspanding southward adn teh Northumbriens ekspanding northward, it wass permanentli destroied iin teh 7th centruy adn its teritory asorbed inot teh hten-ascendent Kengdom of Northumbria.Teh lends both sourth adn noth of teh Firth of Fourth wire known as 'Menaw', but form teh post-Romen Ira foward, olny teh sourthern side is refered to as Menaw Gododden, teh Menaw asociated wiht teh peopel of Gododden. Menaw Gododden wass ajacent to – adn posibly encluded iin – Eidin, teh ergion surroundeng modirn Edenburgh.Though Menaw Gododden wass located withing teh teritory of modirn Scottland, as a part of ''Ir Henn Ogledd'' () it is allso en entrensic part of Welsh histroy, as both teh Welsh adn teh Menn of teh Noth () wire self-percepted as a sengle peopel, collectiveli refered to as ''Cimri''.

Teh modirn Welsh fourm is speled wiht a 'w'.

Ceratin fourms of teh Irish name fo teh Isle of Men produce teh gennetive name ''Menenn'' (or ''Menonn''). Eithir palce cxan be enferred if teh contekst is uncertaen.''Historia Britonum''Iin teh ''Historia Britonum'', Nennnius sasy taht "teh graet keng Mailcun erigned amonst teh Britons, i.e., iin Gwinedd". He adds taht Maelgwn's ancester Cunedda arived iin Gwinedd 146 eyars befoer Maelgwn's erign, comming form Menaw Gododden, adn expeled teh Scots i.e., teh Gaels wiht graet slaughtir.Iin teh chaptirs of teh ''Historia Britonum'' discusseng teh circumstences leadeng up to teh death of Peenda of Mircia iin 655, Oswiu of Northumbria is besieged at "Iudeu" bi Peenda adn his alies adn offirs up teh wealth (i.e., teh roial dignities) of taht palce whcih had beeen recentli captuerd bi teh Northumbriens (teh "Restauration of Iudeu", so-caled), as wel as taht whcih he helded "as far as Menaw". Iin Laten teh phrase is ''uskwue iin menau peendae''. Teh ercensions aer nto al consistant on htis poent.

Howver, as it wass teh homelend of Cunedda adn he wass teh progennitor of mani Welsh roial lenes, he is prominant iin teh Harleien geneologies. Smoe of theese geneologies erappear iin Jesus Colege MS. 20, though it focuses mainli on teh encient roialti of Sourth Wales. Al of Cunedda's descendents claim a hertiage form Menaw Gododden.''Ennals of Ulstir''Accoring to teh ''Ennals of Ulstir'', Áedán mac Gabráiin, keng of Dál Riata, wass victor iin a "belum Menonn" () iin 582 (his oponent is nto givenn).Htere is smoe scholarli dissagreement as to teh palce meaned, whethir to Menaw Gododden or to teh Isle of Men. Both aer plausible adn ahev smoe supporteng evidennce, but lackeng hard infomation, teh isue probablly iwll nto be setled definitiveli. Both thsoe favoureng teh Isle adn thsoe favoureng Menaw Gododden sai so adn inlcude a fotnote to teh efect taht teh balence sems to be on one side or teh otehr, wiht accompaniing argumennts.'''''Ennals of Ulstir'', ''Englo-Sakson Chronicle'''''Teh ''Ennals of Ulstir'' sai taht iin 711, teh Northumbrians defeated teh Picts at teh ''campus Menenn'', teh field of Menaw. Teh ''Englo-Sakson Chronicle'' give's teh eyar as 710, saiing taht "Beorhtfreth teh ealdormen fighted againnst teh Picts beetwen Haefe adn Caire". Htis is asumed to be beetwen teh Rivirs Avon (Haefe) adn Caron (Caire). Wiliam Fourbes Skenne firt argues fo it iin ''Teh Four Encient Boks of Wales'' (1868), noteng taht teh Avon rises iin teh palce stil known as Slamennen Mor (i.e., ''Sliabhmennen'', teh Mor of Menenn). He erpeats teh conjecutre iin his ''Celtic Scottland'' (1886), adn latir historiens ahev accepted his suggestoin, citeng him as teh source.
Name survivalsTeh Gaelic fourm of teh name is ''Menenn''. Liek ''Menaw'', its etimologi is uncertaen, wiht niether fourm neccesarily oweng a hertiage to teh otehr. Iin teh Easly Middle Ages, Brithonic wass erplaced bi Gaelic iin teh ergion of Menaw. It wass comon to retaen orginal palce-names, but to altir teh pronounciation to be iin accord wiht teh laguage taht wass hten curent. Menaw GododdenSourth of teh Firth of Fourth adn Rivir Fourth teh name survives iin teh name of Slamennen Mor adn teh vilage of Slamennen, iin Stirlengshire. Htis is derivated form ''Sliabh Menenn'', teh 'Mor of Menenn'. It allso apears iin teh name of Dalmeni, smoe 5 miles northwest of Edenburgh. It wass fromerly known as Dumanin, asumed to be derivated form ''Dun Menenn''.Pictish MenawNoth of teh Fourth it survives iin teh name of teh burgh of Clackmennen adn teh eponimous counti of Clackmennenshire.

Update 05.11.14 The 37 box is back in business in a new container with an additional stamp, and in a new location along the same trail. Enjoy, and bring your own stamps to the box! --WT
About 37
There is a park in Pennsylvania named for our 37th president. In this park we have placed a box with a twist to commemorate the man and his tenure in office.
What is the twist? There is a small but interesting phenomenon in letterboxing in which a box is placed with an initial stamp(s). Then finders are encouraged to carve a stamp that fits the theme, adding it to the repository in the box when they find it. The number of stamps in the box increases over time as the theme is explored, not only by the initial planter, but by the box's subsequent finders. We recall at least two boxes of this nature, one with a theme of adding tools to a toolbox, and another with adding livestock and objects to a farm.
We hope to do this with the "37" box. This president was a complicated man who had a complicated presidency. You may choose to carve a stamp depicting the man, his family, things that happened during his presidency, world events at this time, members of his cabinet and staff... there are many possibilities. There's a lot to be explored, and we would like your contributions!
Current stamps
The stamps currently in the box are: Victory, Wall, Uher 5000, Chief of Staff and Enemies List (carved by Wood Thrush); Tricky (carved by The Royal Fish); Home State (carved by Mamaw Ladybug); Ling Ling (carved by 4 survivors); The Imperial Presidency (carved by Otis' Friends); Leaving Vietnam (carved by Aquinna); Duke School of Law (carved by Nargfoll); Kent State University (carved by The 4 Spigs); Checkers (carved by idlemoon); Milhous (carved by Red Cruzsader); You Filthy Hippies (carved by Booshmen); A Republican Cloth Coat (carved by welshangus), For Peace and Prosperity (carved by Fluttering Dragonfly), and The Famous Gesture (carved by Undead Hunter FreD).
A few simple rules.
To seek this box, you should have a charitable disposition for people with political views that vary from your own (don't remove any of the stamps in the box)! You may, of course, choose to stamp in only those stamps that agree with your own views, but we'll leave that up to you. Although we greatly encourage you to do so, you do not have to contribute a new stamp to the box to find it and stamp in. But if you do add a stamp to the box, please contact the placer at email@example.com so we can add your stamp's name and authorship to the online list of those in the box.
To the box
Make your way to this park. From the lower parking lot, follow the path that leads to the trails. Take a left over the bridge at the "stream life" sign. Follow the path to the left of the pond. At the end of the pond, bear left on the double-blazed blue-red trail. Do not take the Bird Hollow path to the right. Walk along with the pleasant stream to your left.
After a short time, the trail will curve to the right and begin to climb the ridge. You will first encounter a series of steps in the trail, then, after the trail veers to the left and climbs some more, a series of low plastic water diverters in the trail that channel runoff. The last of these are near the top of the ridge. Keep walking forward on the trail, and you will soon see a partially obscured trail sign that points left to the Old Field Trail and straight ahead to Bird Hollow. Keep walking straight.
Shortly you will see a nice bench on the left in a clearing. It's not too far ahead on the trail. After you get the box, this will be a great place to come back toyou can spread out your things and stamp in.
For now, when you are even with the bench, start counting steps and pass through the clearing, still walking straight ahead. After about 120 steps you will be at a red-blazed tree, and see ahead 16 steps on the trail a tree blazed blue and red. From the red-only tree, take seven steps towards the blue-red tree. To your right, about five steps off the trail is a unique trio: a hip-high stump in front, a fallen smallish-sized tree right behind it, and a living maple tree behind the fallen tree. The 37 box is behind the fallen tree, beneath bark, at the point where these three intersect.
Remember, if you have brought along a stamp to add to the box, stamp its image in the box's logbook along with your personal stamp. When you're done stamping the 37 treasure trove, be sure to replace the box carefully with the bark on top.
The park has several wonderful trails to explore, and if you've done your homework, there are several other very nice boxes to find. If you're not feeling adventurous however, you can always return to your car the way you came.
Thanks for playing along with our experimental concept, and happy boxing.

Buckhannon-Upshur High School athletic director Randall Roy said he was pleasantly surprised Tuesday when he got more than he was asking for from the Upshur County Board of Education.
Roy thought fundraising efforts would be needed to purchase a football scoreboard which featured a large video screen for advertising or replays. But the school board approved of the idea, along with giving its support to a new scoreboard for the school's soccer field.
Roy had asked the school board to approve a funding request of $65,000 for new soccer and football scoreboards. He said at a previous meeting that the Buckhannon-Upshur football boosters could reimburse the school board with money raised through advertising on the new scoreboards. Roy also said the boosters would try to raise the $60,000 difference for the upgrade to the football field's scoreboard.
"I don't know why some of this money for the scoreboard doesn't come from the Board (of Education)," board member Tammy Samples said. "I understand raising money. I feel like we need to have some kind of good faith effort, too. I want us to be fiscally responsible, but I also feel like the board needs to tip some money into that. I want us to be doing our part."
Instead of only supporting Roy's initial request, board members voted to offer the $125,000 needed to get both of the desired scoreboards. The approved funds do not include the installation, foundation, electrical or other costs that may be associated with preparing the scoreboards for use. The wireless equipment needed to run the football scoreboard screen, however, is included in the funding.
Board member Patrick Long said he wants to know what else the school board should be doing to prepare for the installation of the new scoreboards. Roy said he would check into the other costs. No board member argued that the existing scoreboards did not need to be replaced.
"I think it is a grand idea," board president Teresa Bellamy said. "We need new scoreboards. I don't think anyone will tell you otherwise."
Roy said the current scoreboards still use bulbs to light the numbers. He said that some of the sockets for those bulbs no longer work, rendering many bulbs irreplaceable. He was not the only one to point out issues with the scoreboards.
"This board is a maintenance issue," Todd Payne, the president of the Buckhannon-Upshur football boosters, said. "I feel that by the end of the season we would be up there with index cards."
Roy said that he is confident in the potential of community support for the project. He said he already has received $27,000 in pledges from businesses that want to purchase advertisements on the scoreboard panels.
In other business, the school board conducted the second reading of the salary schedules and other compensation policy. Superintendent Roy Wager said it will be available online for public comment.
The school board conducted first readings for three other policies, "Communication with the Board of Education," "School Board Effectiveness" and "Special Education." Wager said those policies are minor updates from last year, and they will also be available online for public comment.

HOUSTON -- Injuries and ineffectiveness have kept Aubrey Huff from contributing to the 2012 Giants, but the veteran has kept a watchful eye on his teammates during his three trips to the disabled list. And he likes what he sees.
"It reminds me of the 2010 (championship) team," Huff said Thursday afternoon. "In 2010, you went out every day and you would feel like you were going to win, and that's what it feels like now.
"I think the lineup is better than it was that year, too."
The Giants proved that again Thursday night, riding a team-wide hitting spree to an 8-4 victory over the Houston Astros that clinched a second straight road sweep. Nine Giants had a hit, eight scored a run, and six drove in a run as the Giants overcame a shaky start.
The four-run comeback was the Giants' biggest of the season.
"We haven't had a lot of games like this," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Everybody did something to help the cause."
The contributions started with starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, who put the Giants in an early 4-0 hole a night after they needed six relievers to close out the second game of the series. But Vogelsong hung tough, getting through the sixth inning for the 23rd time in 25 starts and allowing the lineup to get in gear.
"I was just kind of off early with everything -- mechanics, tempo, everything was out of whack," said Vogelsong, who improved to 12-7. "I had to keep them off the board. I knew I had to find a way to throw up zeros."
Vogelsong put up three consecutive scoreless innings before exiting for a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh. By that time, the Giants had cut the deficit to 4-3 thanks to RBIs from Angel Pagan, Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval.
"Everything just kind of fell into place," Vogelsong said.
The Giants felt the same way at the plate. They wasted an early bases-loaded, none-out opportunity, but they never stopped clawing. In all, the Giants had 15 hits, including Sandoval's single in the seventh that tied the score.
Hunter Pence followed with a single that scored two, and Joaquin Arias made it 7-4 with a homer to left field in the eighth. Brandon Belt was in the middle of the action all night, tying a career high with four hits and driving in the Giants' eighth run with a ninth-inning double. The comeback win was the second of the series for the Giants, who have won 10 of their past 13 games and six straight on the road.
"That's a good quality to have," Belt said. "Everybody is just kind of clicking at the right time."
Afterward, Bochy said the coaching staff would have another discussion about Arias on the flight to Chicago.
"You have to like the way he's playing," Bochy said. "We'll figure out a way to keep him in there."
Arias has an eight-game hitting streak and is batting .500 during that span. He leads the majors with a .428 average in August and has driven in 15 runs in the month. Arias has just one big league inning in the outfield but spent time practicing there when he was in the Texas Rangers' organization.
"I talked to him about how comfortable he would be, and he thought he would be fine," Bochy said.
Bochy said Arias could also take more of Brandon Crawford's time at shortstop.
"Crawford has been doing a good job, but we've got to go with the hot hand," Bochy said.
"The knee is about as ready as it's going to be," he said.
To prepare for the quick turnaround, Bochy sent Friday starter Madison Bumgarner to Chicago on Thursday afternoon.
Bochy said Buster Posey might sit out Friday's game after his ankle started to feel "a little cranky" on Houston's hard infield. But the manager isn't worried about the early game time Friday.
"This is a tough group," Bochy said. "They'll be ready to go."

The GHS is a voluntary system for the classification and labeling of hazardous chemicals resulting from an effort by the U.S. and a number of other countries to promote common criteria for classifying chemicals according to their health, physical and environmental hazards, and to develop compatible labeling, material safety data sheets for workers, and other information based on the resulting classifications. Underlying this international effort is the belief that harmonization of chemical classification and labeling will promote regulatory efficiency and facilitate trade without lowering the level of health, safety, and environmental protection afforded by current national laws and regulations.
Within the United States, key federal agencies with responsibility for regulatory and international affairs formed an interagency committee coordinated by the Department of State to address implementation of GHS. Participating agencies include the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation (DOT), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Department of Agriculture, and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
As it moves forward with its role in implementation of the GHS, the Commission will adhere to the mandates for risk based decision making of the Consumer Product Safety Act, Federal Hazardous Substances Act, Flammable Fabrics Act, and Poison Prevention Packaging Act. In particular, with respect to the labeling of chronic health hazards in the consumer product setting, the Commission intends to follow the risk based labeling option specified under Annex 5 of the GHS.
With the risk based decision making approach as its compass, it is expected that the CPSC staff assessment of GHS implementation issues currently underway will identify questions that will require issuing guidance, revising existing regulations, and/or in some instances, seeking statutory revision. As the Commission addresses the recommendations resulting from the staff assessment it will also seek input on those aspects of GHS implementation that are of significant priority to stakeholders, including consumers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers of consumer products.

To read more about George and Marguerite Stickles, see the posts here.
Some time after they bought the West Lawrence Street house in 1921, George Stickles started to worry about a small growth on his tongue. It had been there for a long time, but he hadn't paid it any mind until it started hurting. It was cancer.
George went to New York City for treatment, where doctors injected radium into his tongue with needles. He "could take no opiates" to ease the pain of the injections, Marguerite wrote in her memoir. "The agony suffered lasted for four hours." The treatments also left him unable to eat, and he lost a lot of weight. But it looked, for a time, as if it had worked: George's cancer appeared to go into remission.
His doctor had recommended that he come back to New York City every two years for a preventative dose of radium; his wife recalled that in one of these sessions, in 1925, he was given an overdose. It caused him three months of suffering, and when George recovered, he told Marguerite, "I can never go through with that again."
But the next spring, his cancer returned. The doctor recommended an aggressive course of radium treatment. George came home to Albany to think about it.
"We talked about it for days, weighing the pros and cons," Marguerite wrote. "One morning while shaving, he called to me and said, "I am not going to New York."
They knew what that meant. Nonetheless, George felt as if a weight was taken from his shoulders.
"We might as well have a good time while we can," he told his wife.
It turned out they had three perfect days.
They set out doing what they loved best: Traveling. They rambled through western Massachusetts, exploring different towns, with the goal of eventually reaching Boston. But on the morning of the fourth day, the pain came.
George and Marguerite returned home to await what was coming. His condition deteriorated quickly. Morphine eased his suffering – he called it God's Own Medicine – and allowed him restful sleep. But they knew there was no recovery. George told Marguerite, "Don't feel sorry for me; I have had a good time."
Shortly before he died, he said to his wife, "There is nothing to life, when your time comes, it seems the things that seemed so worth striving for, are of no worth at all."
George died at 10 in the morning on October 14, 1926. He was 67 years old, and they had been married for fourteen years.
Marguerite sold their car to a man who, she learned later, coddled it and drove it only on Sundays. "I was glad, as I would hate to have it belong to someone who would wreck it," she wrote. "It seemed part of us, almost."
They returned to Albany from the Nassau funeral to find their house had been broken into and many things stolen: A mere insult on top of the greater loss they had suffered.
The next six months were a terrible time. If Marguerite cried, the children cried too. "So when I felt a 'spell' coming on I would gather a few things together and hasten to the bath-room and do a little washing, let the water run and cry and cry."
When George died, his four daughters were thirteen, eleven, eight, and five. There was a lot of life still to be lived in the West Lawrence Street house.

Fire crews were called to a fire that displaced a family.
Cincinnati firefighters responded to the 2200 block of Iowa Avenue in Walnut Hills at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Crews said the fire was caused by grease left unattended on the stove.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the kitchen area. There were no reports of injuries but the Red Cross was called to assist the family that lived in the home.
Damage was estimated at $10,000.
