Deer celebration begins in Girard
It's not the Christmas season until the Girard deer is wearing his wreath. Every Christmas season for the past 20 years Elk Valley Garden Club made swags for local community buildings and a wreath for the buck statue in Girard.
I asked why they do this every year. "It's been a community project for many years. We like to give back to the community," said Mary Butler, past president of the Elk Valley Garden Club.
I popped in to find 21 garden club members making the swags. Hemlock boughs brought from the yard of Irene Smith, club president, were laid out on the tables. Member Kathy Welte was making bright red bows for each one. Other members were tying the boughs together with wire and adding pine cones and red Christmas balls to the swags. It was a fun-filled atmosphere. Mary Butler makes a special wreath for the deer every year. The wreath is made of hemlock, ivy, holly and arborvitae. Red Christmas balls and Welte's red bow add some bling. The borough then puts a spotlight on the decorated deer during the Christmas season.
Each building gets a customized swag or two. "The swags for the Girard Post Office have to be big and identical because they flank the front doors," Smith said.
Other places that are fortunate to get their swags are the Hazel Kibler Museum, the cemetery gate, Girard Township building, Girard Fire Department, Rice Avenue Community Library, Lake City Borough building and Lake City Fire Department.
The swags get a lot of attention. "They've been doing this for many years," Lake City Borough Manager Lynn Becker said. "It brings the community together. Everywhere you go, you see the swags and it makes everyone feel good."
Girard Postmaster Mike Lee agrees, "I think it's great for the community -- it's great for the Christmas spirit and I really appreciate it."
Stacy Serranto, librarian at the Rice Avenue Library, really likes the swags. "I think they are just beautiful! We get many compliments on the swags from our patrons," she said. "The swags really brighten up the entryway."
Elk Valley Garden Club is a very active club serving the Girard and Lake City areas. Members meet the third Thursday of every month. The club includes 29 active members and three honorary members. It is a member of Erie County Council of Garden Clubs, the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, District VIII, the Central Atlantic Region and National Garden Clubs Inc.
This is a very civic-minded club. In addition to the swags, the club takes care of Wells Park with the help of Girard High School students. The club also makes Mother's Day corsages for the residents at Pleasant Ridge Manor. The club awards a Garden of the Month honor for outstanding residential gardens. The club also has a well-attended garden mart in May. In celebration of Pennsylvania Garden Week in early June, members will fill planters with annual flowers and place them at the public buildings.
The club donates garden mart proceeds to numerous organizations, including Lake City and Dobler Hose Fire Departments, Rice Avenue Public Library, Girard Cemetery, Hazel Kibler Museum, West County Paramedic Association, the Erie Zoo and the American Cancer Society. The club also provides an annual scholarship to a Girard High School student pursuing a career in environmental studies. The club's members donate canned goods to the Christian Cupboard.
Elk Valley Garden Club was established in 1929. This 83-year-old club is showing no signs of growing old or slowing down. The members are far too busy making the community a more beautiful and better place to live. If you would like to join this fun and hardworking club, call Smith at 756-0425.

The American Pet Product Manufacturers Association survey reports that as of 2006, approximately 71.1 million households own a pet. With so many fuzzy, feathered and scaly animals among us, how does one pick a name worthy of their pet?
Gary Koltookian, a life-long pet owner in Irvine, Calif., says his thought process for naming his rabbit was pretty simple. "He's white, so I thought of naming him Snowball, but I thought it was too cliché," he says. "I made it easy: I named him Coconut."
Others, such as Rob Pikes in Los Angeles, Calif., kept it straightforward. "I decided to name my cat the letters C-A-T; like you're spelling it out. It's simple, yet unique."
"I named my dog, Scoop, based off of a saying I had at the time," says Keven Elwood of Savannah, Ga. "I also had a Collie during my childhood years that I named Panda. At the time, pandas were my favorite animals, so that's how that came about."
Kristin Southall of Riverside County, Calif., says she has a habit of naming her pets weird names. "When I was 14, some neighborhood kids toilet-papered my house," she recalls. "When they called to brag about it, I asked who was on the phone, and the guy said his name was J.T. Smithers. My pet rat got that name right there and then."
"I named my dog, Scoop, based off of a saying I had at the time."
"I named my dog, Scoop, based off of a saying I had at the time."
Southall also says her cat went without a name for a week before her and her then-boyfriend found inspiration for his name from a movie. "There is this scene in the Stephen King movie, Misery, where Kathy Bates' character slams a book on the writer's leg and calls him Mr. Man," she explains. "My boyfriend at the time called the cat that when he was naughty, and it just stuck."
Others look to other cultures as inspiration. "I wanted my new kitten to have a French-inspired name," says Claudia Sherry of Trabuco Canyon, Calif. "We ended up naming her Nicollette because it sounded French."
For new pet owners still struggling to find the perfect name for their pet, online sites such as Australia-based Bow Wow Meow, offers visitors a pet name database where they can find the meaning and popularity of pet names. New baby name books can give you ideas as well.
Regardless of what you decide to name your pet, it should be simple, fun and something you won't mind saying over and over again during the course of your pet's lifetime.

District 10 lacrosse season preview
District 10 features four new coaches and two new programs for its 2014 lacrosse season.
The new programs are the bigger development, as PIAA-sanctioned matches will take place in Crawford County for the first time.
Meadville will field a boys team after two seasons as a club sport.
The Bulldogs will be coached by John Heflin, who's been associated with the program since its origin.
Heflin said that more than half of Meadville's roster consists of freshmen or first-time lacrosse players.
However, he's still encouraged because the team's frontline attackers have been together since 2012.
"The offensive unit is experienced and works well together," Heflin said. "We're adding a few new plays and a motion offense, and our goal is to play competitive lacrosse."
This spring also marks the debut of the girls program at Conneaut.
The Eagles, coached by Scott Shannon, previously competed as the Crawford County Lacrosse Club.
The addition of those teams increased the district's total number of teams to eight. McDowell, Cathedral Prep, Fairview and Meadville comprise the boys' programs, with McDowell, Fairview, Villa Maria and Conneaut on the girls' side.
"For a long time, lacrosse was viewed as a private-school sport," Fairview boys coach Will Holmes said. "Now, it's being embraced by a growing number of (public school) athletes who want to try it, and it appears that they've fallen in love with it at Meadville."
Holmes took over the Fairview boys from Chris Groesch, who resigned to coach the boys program at District 7 Trinity. Holmes previously worked to develop players in the Millcreek School District's youth lacrosse program.
The other coaching change to an existing district team is at Prep, where Donald Benedict took over for program founder Jeff Lord.
Benedict was a midfielder with the 2011 Mercyhurst University men's lacrosse team that won the NCAA Division II national championship.
The central New York native hopes that through enthusiasm and determination, Prep lacrosse will someday be mentioned in the same breath with the Ramblers' most established sport.
"When you think of the winning tradition of Prep football," Benedict said, "I want lacrosse to immediately be right there with it in the same breath."
Prep could start such an association by winning back the district trophy it lost to rival McDowell in last season's championship match.
The Trojans will try to repeat with Sean Stutzman back for his fourth season as their coach.
The Fairview girls appear to be strong candidates to defend as the district's best. The Tigers, coached by Amy Fresch, welcome back nine of their 12 starters from 2013.
The Erie Spears, which consisted of players from several area high schools, were the original lacrosse team in the area in 2001.
However, partly because of the rise of other programs, the Spears had a poor player turnout and will not field a team this spring for the first time since 2000.

Erie man seriously hurt in crash off Liberty Street
An Erie man was in serious condition at UPMC Hamot on Thursday with injuries he suffered in a crash that police said was under investigation.
Police said Keith Crabtree, 41, was found in a wrecked 2006 Chrysler Sebring south of the Bayfront Parkway at about 3 a.m. Thursday. The car had apparently traveled over the embankment at the foot of Liberty Street and came to rest just south of the highway, investigators said.
Erie police investigate robbery at Family Dollar
Erie police were investigating a robbery at the Family Dollar store at 2307 State St. at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday night.
Police said a male matching the robbery suspect's description was taken into custody shortly after 9 p.m.
Police said a male showed a silver handgun, took a brown leather jacket and cash and ran from the store. There were no reported injuries.
Police said the suspect was a black male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, and wearing a white mask, black pants and a gray jacket.
Most Wanted fugitive captured in Erie
A man wanted by the Erie County Sheriff's Office for failing to appear for sentencing on firearms charges is back in custody after his recent apprehension.
Donquale T. Harris, 21, was captured by sheriff's deputies and members of the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force in the 1800 block of Downing Avenue on Tuesday, deputies said Thursday.
Harris was featured in the Jan. 31 Erie Times-News Most Wanted. He is the 657th fugitive to be apprehended since the feature began in March 2004.
Conservancy starts public phase of $40M fund drive
The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy has launched the public phase of its most ambitious fund drive ever.
The Our Shared Legacy campaign aims to raise $40 million to fund a decade's worth of conservation and restoration along French Creek, the Erie lakeshore and other areas of western Pennsylvania. The campaign so far has raised about $25 million.
"We have the opportunity to work together and save our most exceptional places -- rivers, streams, forests, mountain ridges and farmland valleys -- while we still can," conservancy President Thomas Saunders said in a prepared statement from the organization's Pittsburgh headquarters.
The nonprofit Western Pennsylvania Conservancy owns and preserves about 4,000 acres in the Erie region.
It will kick off the Our Shared Legacy campaign locally on April 25 at 4 p.m. at the Erie Club.

The annual battle over the last bag of sprouts is almost upon us. Supermarkets are gearing up for some of the busiest shopping days of the year as hoards of shoppers manically fill their trollies with festive goodies to adorn their Christmas tables.
As retailers steel themselves to meet customer demand, the pressure is on for fresh produce suppliers to ensure their supermarket shelves are stocked to the brim with all the festive favourites. For those supplying highly seasonal products, their businesses can morph into an entirely different type and scale of operation. The ability to keep supply in line with demand is essential if they are to maximise the financial benefit of this seasonal push.
But for those without sufficient supply chain visibility and accuracy, Christmas can be the tipping point when they realise they need more help and automation to track and process their customers' orders.
From turkeys to fresh fruit and vegetables, suppliers of products with a short shelf life don't have the luxury of packing their produce in advance during busy periods and have to work around the clock to ensure orders are fulfilled as they arrive thick and fast throughout the month of December.
And, if a celebrity chef name checks a particular product that he or she considers to be an essential ingredient for any Christmas table, these products then fly off the shelves faster than suppliers can often get them there.
Berry Gardens is the UK's leading producer of soft and stone fruit. It supplies all of the major supermarkets with its fresh produce. Like many fresh produce companies Christmas is an extremely busy time for the organisation and it sees a significant spike in orders in the run up to the period.
Reacting and planning for these spikes leads to frequent and rapid exchanges of data, it is therefore essential that suppliers such as Berry Gardens can rely on their electronic trading platform for the accurate and timely exchange of transactions, from orders and confirmations to shipping notices and invoices, ensuring that extra orders are met and delivered on time.
James Judge, IT manager, Berry Gardens explains: "As a producer of soft and stone fruit, Christmas and summer are our busiest times of year. We work incredibly hard to ensure our fresh produce is on the shelves ready for the festive period and it is therefore essential that we are able to rely on our EDI platform to guarantee that demand is met during these busy times."
"Our fully managed EDI service from Wesupply just works. The orders come in around the clock and we process them into our ERP system immediately. It is one less thing to worry about during busy periods and we can concentrate our efforts on fulfilling each order we receive to keep up with demand for our products over Christmas."
Steve Rees, product manager, Wesupply said: "EDI is at the heart of effective trading, especially during busy periods, but for those organisations running and supporting expensive in-house EDI systems, added demand can increase the cost and internal pressure to ensure the system works.
"A fully managed EDI service which can scale up and down according to demand and seasonal fluctuations allows organisations to cope with the demands of the festive season with no additional cost or stress, ensuring that all orders are met and everyone has those essential festive goodies to tuck into on the big day."

Nice little mouse gun. Very choosy with ammo. CCI Mini Mags is the only ammo that never gives me any problems.
Al Thompson
September 17, 2004, 06:58 PM
The ones I've played with in .22LR have been very finicky. Apparently, (IMHO) they like to be clean and fed only what they like. One the other paw, the .25ACP Berettas have a much better reliability rate IME.
September 17, 2004, 07:10 PM
I've got one. Have to keep it clean and lubed to keep it running.
Old Dog
September 17, 2004, 08:22 PM
Fun little gun -- Cordex is right on -- gotta keep 'em really clean! Good price. Step up to the Tomcat (3032) in .32 ACP next to complete your mousegun collection ... they're a kick, too.
September 17, 2004, 09:46 PM
Easy to carry when you can't satisfy Rule 1 any other way. I keep finding myself sticking mine in my pocket all the time. Does pay to use high energy ammo.
September 17, 2004, 10:11 PM
Concur with JBP, CCI Mini Mags. Wish I could find some wood grips for it to play with. Maybe shave off a little width.
September 17, 2004, 10:23 PM
Wow, $102, in this area, is a great deal! I like mine very much. I prefer the .25 over the .22 for reasons of reliability.
Shawn Dodson
September 17, 2004, 11:10 PM
Mine functions reliably with anything I feed it. Never had a problem with it.
I installed Pearce neoprene grips.
You'll discover that misfires are difficult to clear. The pistol has no extractor, and the rimfire firing pin swages the cartridge to the barrel breech. You either have to pry it out or insert a rod down the bore to push it out. It's for this reason I don't suggest it as a defense gun.
I hope you have as pleasant experience with yours as I've had with mine.
AZ Heat
September 18, 2004, 12:37 AM
That is a fun gun! I agree with everything that has already been said. The Stingers work really well in it if you are carrying it for defense (I'd recommend bigger) or just want a really good load. I bought one for myself and one for my boss. I carry it on the desert trails here in AZ. I wouldn't hesitate buying another.
September 18, 2004, 01:57 AM
I love mine. Just like the others who mentioned it, mine requires a hot round to cycle. Stingers are good.
Does it seem to you guys that this is a design defect? I mean if it won't cycle on standard ammo, it would seem that Beretta would come forward and do something. Right?
September 18, 2004, 09:14 AM
It does what it's supposed to do. I use stingers, and it hasn't failed yet. By that I mean absolutely no malf's of any kind. (I did polish the ramp and chamber).
I gave it to my bride, as she can't rack a slide, so the tip-up barrel feature works for her. She knows what to do with it if necessary.
It was worth the money.
Mr Jody Hudson
September 18, 2004, 09:32 AM
Personally, I am a huge fan of the OLD .22 short Minx with CCI MiniMag HP - from the 70s and likely very little resale value; they are accurate, reliable and with the CCI-MM-HP we found the same speed, with more accuracy and better expansion than the .22 LR of that era.
Since that, these new ones are much thicker, far less reliable and very inaccurate comparatively speaking. My suggestion, if you like it, keep it and look for a 70s era Beretta Minx and lots of the above ammo.
I worked in a Florida gun shop at the time that catered specially to law enforcement. I would show the accuracy, reliability and chrono at the range.... and sold about 400 to police in less than a year - for flat little BUGs with phenomenal, thus fun, accuracy.
There is also a very rare and phenomenally accurate long barrel model that raises the velocity about 200 fps if I recall:
I have had several of the newer in both .22 and .25 and was not satisfied enough to keep them past the first trip to the range and I tried MANY... hoping against facts...

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

here is what i did:
i resized my windows partition using gparted from a live cd. i left
about 2 Gigs of unused space at the end of the disk. with that unused
space, i used gparted to create a new partition and formatted it with
an ext2 filesystem even though i knew that i would just overwrite that
filesystem when i installed minix.
i booted up minix and installed it to the new partition. (did setup,
followed the prompts and installed to the new partition. then did a
shutdown. after shutdown, even used minix boot monitor to boot back
into minix. then did a shutdown and from the minix boot monitor that
time, i did an 'exit' )
when i rebooted my computer, nothing booted. i made a bootable grub
cd, and i can boot that and i get a grub shell.
so i am in the grub shell and type
'rootnoverify (hd0,'
then i press TAB and it gives me this:
'Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x81'
I selected partition 1, so my command was
'rootnoverify (hd0,0)'
then i type
'chainloader +1'
then i type
and then it just prints
'Starting up ...'
and it hangs. on my other laptop where i have xp and ubuntu setup for
dual boot, if i boot with the same cd to get a grub shell, the same
commands boot xp just fine (except the partition number is
differrent). I have also tried using 'root' instead of
'rootnoverify', and i have also tried the command 'makeactive' before
i boot.
when i use the commands 'rootnoverify (hd0,1)', 'chainloader +1', and
'boot' in that order, i can boot my minix partition no problem. so i
just don't get what happened? i just can't figure out why i can't
xp. i didn't think the minix installation overwrote any of the MBR?
any ideas, clues or suggestions?

Truck hits MLK Drive Bridge over I-43 southbound
UPDATED 5:51 PM CDT Apr 25, 2013
Part of a tractor-trailer hit the Martin Luther King Drive Bridge going southbound on Interstate 43 on Thursday afternoon.
All lanes of I-43 were reopened before 6 p.m.
The truck was hauling a big piece of equipment and that's what hit the bridge.
There was a piece of metal dangling from the bridge that has to be cut down.
According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, an engineer was called out to inspect the bridge to see if it was structurally damaged.
No one was hurt.

Family and Kid Movies You'll LoveAndrew Postman
It's the coldest winter in thirty years (they tell us) and too many afternoons and nights you and the kids are housebound. The TV's been playing an infinite loop of (depending on your children's ages and genders) iCarly vs. Star Wars Meets Drake and Josh and SpongeBob, plus commercials. Naturally you worry about the warping effect on your kids' brains but you've also had your fill. You're not demanding that your taste trump your kids', but are there not shows you can all enjoy? That are substantial and entertaining?
Yes, there are. While there's no formula — e.g., Quality x Teachable Moments x Values (Production & Moral) / Age of Child = Winner for the Whole Family — there are several categories of films that provide excellent material for parent- and child-viewing. In most cases, you can rent, record or own them via Netflix, DVR, or your local video store.— Andrew Postman
There are lots of great nature documentaries out there, and with HD transmission, they're more magnificent than ever. The category king is the stunning, often jaw-dropping Planet Earth, the eleven-part BBC series narrated by David Attenborough, available on DVD. It shows the phenomenal beauty and detail of our natural world, from forests to the great deep to deserts to caves and more. It's so good that even little ones who don't understand what's going on are mesmerized: My not-quite-four-year-old daughter was happy to sit still in my lap, easily diverted by shots of owls and night insects and close-ups of animals doing things we never get to see them doing (e.g., a wolverine eating the innards of a caribou, deep in a snowy forest).
20+ Top Family Movies
A half-century ago and more, these were a Hollywood staple — meant for young and old alike — but it seems that almost every memorable movie from the last twenty-five years about a real historical figure is extremely adult and often violent (Walk the Line, Ray, Alexander, Braveheart, etc.). In contrast, there's lots for kids to learn and enjoy in old movies like Young Tom Edison (with Mickey Rooney), Young Mr. Lincoln (Henry Fonda), Pride of the Yankees (Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig), Hans Christian Andersen (Danny Kaye), The Story of Louis Pasteur (Paul Muni), The Miracle Worker (Patty Duke as Helen Keller, Anne Bancroft as Annie Sullivan) and Cheaper by the Dozen (the 1950 version with Clifton Webb as efficiency expert Frank Gilbreth, not the 2003 Steve Martin version). Yes, they can be corny and yes, history is occasionally sanitized — but these movies can inspire kids to read and learn more about these important subjects, and you'll fill in lots of what you didn't know about them.
Comic Monsters
Kids, especially boys, love monsters. Most monster movies are designed for older kids, and too scary for younger ones and the originals — with Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, etc. — are no different. But when monsters team up with comedians, the results can be great. Years ago I bought Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, which I'd loved as a boy and which perfectly satisfied the monster-lust of my young boys. The comics meet up with Dracula and the Wolf Man, too, and the movie's got a bit of everything — thrills and great gags — and it's a great introduction to another era of moviemaking. The film was followed by Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, but it's not as good.
For somewhat older kids, their monster quotient — if they can still be scared — may be quenched by Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein, which holds up to adult viewing and is remarkable for its faithfulness to details in the original.
Sports Champs
For slightly older kids (and the older kid in you), several modern classics await — and it may have been years since you saw them. Each one has exactly what you want from a great sports flick (or any flick, for that matter): great story, characters, tension and a totally satisfying climax. Hoosiers, Rocky, The Natural and Chariots of Fire are all beautifully done. The satisfaction for kids, especially those who play or love sports, is immense. Each movie contains some adult themes or scenes (in Hoosiers, alcoholism; in Rocky, criminal activity; in The Natural, gambling and a would-be murderess; in Chariots, anti-Semitism) but these will either be missed or serve as the source for meaningful discussion. As for you, these films are just too good not to appreciate again — from the gorgeous period setting and golden-bathed cinematography of The Natural to the historical recounting in Chariots to the triumph against ridiculously long odds in Hoosiers and Rocky. Expect tears. And don't forget Bad News Bears — the original — a winner for any kid who plays Little League and, for grown-ups, a beautiful performance by Walter Matthau.
Sophisticated Equal-Appeal Animation
This category starts (and perhaps ends) with The Simpsons, of course, perhaps this generation's defining work of art that can be appreciated by kids and grownups in equal measure but for different reasons. Rent any of the many seasons of the TV series or the feature film. There's lots of other animation that crosses generational barriers, including every Pixar movie — though if your home is like ours, then these have already spent a little too much time in rotation. Also check out Wallace and Gromit (the four shorts and the feature-length) and the brilliant, hilarious Plymptoons — The Complete Works of Bill Plympton (though some of the animation has sexual content).
Children's Foreign Films
In 1967, CBS launched its Children's Film Festival, introducing a generation of kids to beautifully made, provocative, often heartbreaking kids' films from around the world — The Red Balloon (France), Skinny and Fatty (Japan), and many others. Quite a few are available on DVD or VHS. To find out more about them and their availability, or watch clips of them on Youtube, go to the CBS Children's Film Festival.
Family Classics
Our own personal favorites are movies whose story and/or laughs/thrills-per-minute provide more than enough for everyone to love and which hold up after repeated viewings: Swiss Family Robinson, Modern Times, City Lights, The Princess Bride and Groundhog Day, which you can, of course, watch over and over and over …

Omar Sharif said it was the only game he'd consider giving up bridge for. Queen Elizabeth got hooked when she played it at the Duchess of Devonshire's country seat one weekend. To date it has sold three million copies in 18 countries, including a million in the U.S. since its introduction here last September.
The name of the game is Kensington. Play combines the moves of tick-tacktoe, the vindictiveness of backgammon and the complexity of chess. It's a game of strategy with simple rules. "It can be played by people from 7 to 107," gushes Elliot Comenitz, who discovered Kensington at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last year and whose firm, Samuel Ward Co., is licensed to manufacture it in the U.S.
At $10 per game, Kensington has made its two penniless inventors millionaires several times over. When they hit upon the idea in 1979, Britons Brian Taylor, 46, and Peter Forbes, 24, were both on the dole. Taylor was an artist struggling to support a wife and two children, while bachelor Forbes, an architecture school dropout, had once kept body and soul together by selling security peepholes in San Francisco. While idly scavenging the used-book stalls in London's Portobello Road one day, Forbes came across a book of Islamic designs. Taylor took one look at the intricate yet uncluttered hexagonals and, right on cue, exclaimed, "Wouldn't that make a marvelous game?"
Inspired, Taylor and Forbes spent from May till October hunched over a prototype of the game in Kensington Gardens, near Forbes' flat, shoulder to shoulder with old men playing chess. The game's title is their grateful nod to the place where it was born. But before their bonanza came rejection by every toy manufacturer they approached. Taylor and Forbes finally caught the attention of a firm of Cambridge travel agents, who saw Kensington as a promotional gimmick and agreed to invest $10,000. The result was Whale Toys, Ltd., owned by Taylor, Forbes and the travel agents until Forbes sold his share last year.
Flush with prosperity, Taylor has blossomed into a hail-fellow front man for Kensington. He still dresses the part of the painter, but mainly, one suspects, for effect. When he appeared on the Johnny Carson show wearing sandals and a sweater riddled with holes, Carson quipped: "Nice sweater. It'll be nicer when you finish it." Not bloody likely.

Recap: 'Dancing with the Stars' Performances - Nicole and Erin are tops
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's the week before the semi-finals! Which would be much more exciting if Nicole wasn't walking away with the competition and ABC didn't plump what should be a one hour show into a two hour epic like it's one of those saline-injected roasted chickens at Costco.
This week, every couple must stumble through not one but two dances. Horrors! For the second routine, the dancers must hoof it Latin-style in either the style of the '50s, '60s, '80s, '90s or the future. Tom quickly points out that the '70s aren't included, which just strikes me as weird. Is there not a single '70s song that has a Latin beat? Or are the producers just hating on hippies and groovy music? Of course, the fear is the costume designers will break out the halter tops and bell bottoms, and if we can avoid that, well, that's really for the best.
Yay, it's time for a filler segment! God forbid we actually get to the dancing right away or anything! This time, the pros must criticize their competition. Erin gets slammed for not trusting Maks enough. Evan's total lack of chemistry with Anna is noted without anyone pointing out that Evan is simply chemistry deficient in general. Chad is encouraged to move his ass. Nicole is perfect. Duh. Niecy needs to work on her technique. Double duh. I have learned exactly nothing from this segment. Except that the pros are too smart to be honest. Anyway, it's time to dance, so let's get this show going!
[Full recap of Monday's (May 10) "Dancing with the Stars" after the break...]
Chad and Cheryl
Cheryl and Chad are over the honeymoon phase of their relationship, and it's slowly dawning on Cheryl that Chad is schizophrenic. Okay, not really, but he's moody. Seriously moody. And she's exhausted by it. Personally, I would find it pretty exhausting just trying to resist the urge to burst out laughing whenever Chad talked about "focusing on his craft." He sounds like every pretentious non-working screenwriter in Hollywood, so Chad might want to realize "focusing on my craft" is really code for "staring into my overpriced Starbucks coffee drink" and "playing online solitaire." Good luck, Chad.
Chad is definitely loosening up a bit more in this dance, but the guy is just fundamentally not great at this. He looks like he's squatting all through the dance. Don't ask me what that's about, but it's weird. Chad, you're really good at football and you make a truckload of money. Just be happy about that, okay?
Len pussyfoots around for a minute, but finally says the dance needed more refinement. Bruno liked the emotion, but wanted slickness. Carrie loved the intensity, but felt his posture was funky. Chad might have been better off playing online solitaire rather than driving Cheryl batcrap crazy with his craft, but oh well.
Backstage, Cheryl says it's never boring with Chad, Brooke Burns pretends she's working for "Nightline" and Chad says it's time to be serious. Whatever.
Score: 21. Straight sevens. Chad is disappointed, or really tired, or in serious mode. It's hard to tell with Chad.
Niecy and Louis
Tonight we're going to see a day in Niecy's life. Niecy goes to work at 5:30am. Can you believe they start taping the friggin' "The Insider" at 7:30 in the morning? Does that mean she's home by 9, because seriously, "The Insider" doesn't seem like all that much work. Niecy drinks lots of coffee. Niecy wears sweatsuits and fuzzy slippers. Niecy is often tired. This isn't exactly great television, people.
Niecy and Louis are dancing to "I Got You, Babe." Niecy is still clomping around a bit like a baby elephant. And I say that with love, because Niecy is the only fun person left in the competition. To conclude the dance, Louis drags Niecy around the floor like a peach feather duster.
Bruno thinks it was a good performance except for Niecy swatting at flies. Carrie thought the transitions weren't there. Len was pleasantly surprised. Apparently he's a Sonny and Cher fan. He also thought her carriage was terrific.
Backstage, Niecy jokes around. Brooke seems relieved to interview someone who just prattles on without a lot of prompting. Brooke really isn't getting any better at this interviewing thing.
Score: 23. Not terrible, but honestly, I think Niecy's days are numbered.
Erin and Maks
Erin and Maks were in the bottom two last week. To Erin, that was the "grossest" feeling, like, ever. Erin is cute and sweet and I really feel for anyone who's been covertly taped drying their hair naked, but girlfriend is suffering from the same syndrome that's stricken Evan – the less you know, the more impressive they are.
For someone who acts like kind of a dork during rehearsal, Erin is damn good this week. She's sexy, she jumps through the air and straddles Maks without looking like she's going to cry, and she can do crazy things with her legs. Of course, she has to totally blow her femme fatale image by giving Maks a high five at the end of the dance, but hey.
Carrie Ann kisses Len because she's overwhelmed by how hot the dance was. Honestly, if I was feeling frisky, my first thought would not be to kiss Len. Len calls Erin a dirty, dirty girl. And oh, he loved it. Bruno thought she was on fire. I think someone needs to hose down the judges and quick.
Backstage, Erin said she had no choice but to overcome her fear, because Maks yelled at her. And then she does a pretty good Maks impression. Okay, she's goofy, but at least she's goofy in an amusing way.
Score: 28. Actually, surprised it's not a little higher. I mean, this was pretty darn good. Not Nicole good, but seriously, that's not even a fair comparison.
Evan and Anna
After scoring a perfect 30, Evan takes Anna ice skating. Anna is thrilled to be able to say she hit the ice with an Olympian. Then, they go to rehearsal and she tells Evan what a crap dancer he is. Not really, but she tells him he acts cold in their dances and he needs to act all romantic-like. Evan agrees. But I think short of the guy getting a personality transplant, the only way he's bringing romance to the dance floor is by carting in a truckload of Harlequin paperbacks.
Vera Wang is in the audience. I say that apropos of nothing, really, they just cut to her and I felt compelled to point that out. Let's move on.
As expected, this is a technically beautiful dance, but Evan looks like he's thinking too much. Or writing a grocery list in his head. Maybe he needs bread or yogurt or something. For all the lust he's mustered up for Anna, he could be dancing with a dust mop or a stuffed giraffe or something. But, if you ignore the blank look in Evan's eyes, great job.
Len isn't sure if he liked the dance or not, but he loved the posture. Bruno thought it was Romeo and Juliet and that Evan's lines were exquisite. Carrie loved the lines, but thought Evan didn't lose himself in the moment. This would be the understatement of the season.
Brooke interrogates Evan about his lack of warmth. Evan says it's the first thing he forgets, which suggests he isn't much of a spitfire on a daily basis. Anna looks like she wants to beat him to death with a shoe.
Score: 27. Anna is now much more smiley. Which is good, because I'm worried that one of these weeks we'll see bruises on Evan and he'll have to say he fell into a doorknob or something.
Nicole and Derek
Don't you just love how the show is trying to convince us that this isn't a cakewalk for Nicole? She's a perfectionist who agonizes over her mistakes! Derek has to tell her what to do with her arms! She tells Derek nothing comes naturally for her! She's overwhelmed! Let's watch Nicole cry with frustration! This would be so much more convincing if we didn't actually watch the girl, um, dance.
And, of course, her dance with Derek this week is amazing and impeccable and it's like a game of "which one's the pro?" although, hell, if you didn't know you'd be hard-pressed to figure it out. Sorry, Nicole, but even if this is work for you, it clearly comes a damn sight easier than it does for, say, Niecy. Please.
Bruno calls it pure dancing joy. Carrie is happy to see her smiling again. Len thinks it's irresistible, though he didn't like the lack of body contact. Oh, Len!
Score: 29. Duh.
Brooke asks Nicole if she's putting too much pressure on herself. Nicole says it's a fine line, but she's so grateful and she loves her family! Egads, I feel nauseated.
We see a dance from the future by Gary and Rita Gekhman, which looks like a casting call for one of those silver-painted robot guys you see in Vegas or a Gary Numan video. But it's pretty fun, although I really hope that silver paint doesn't give them rashes. Or kill them, although that "Goldfinger" story, total myth. You can check Snopes.com if you don't believe me. Moving on.
The pros then tell us what the celebrities need to do to survive the Latin round. Niecy may not be able to deliver the footwork. Chad needs to loosen up. Evan leaves the pros cold. Anna thinks Erin looks sloppy doing Latin. Everyone thinks Nicole has to stop being so hard on herself, since she's so clearly better than everyone else. They don't say that last part, but you know they're all thinking it.
Chad and Cheryl
For this dance, Chad is playing a 1960s pimp for their jive. Chad is very excited about this. Cheryl is too tired to mind playing his personal hooker. I think the zip is gone from Cheryl and Chad's relationship, or Cheryl needs more caffeine in her diet, one or the other.
This may be Chad's best dance of the season. Chad loves the song he's dancing to, "Love Man," so I guess someone needs to crack open his iPod and just choose those songs for his routines. I have to say, for the first time Chad didn't look like he was having a root canal during his dance. And the squatting was definitely at a minimum.
Len thought it was fun and entertaining except for the terrible kicks. Bruno thought Chad pimped the jive. Carrie thought it was one of his better dances.
Backstage, Chad sizes up the competition at Brooke's request. Chad says he's the competition. Why does this not surprise me? Brooke Burke is, I think, angling for a gig at ESPN, which is probably her back-up should "Nightline" not call. She should kiss up to Erin if she's smart.
Score: 24. Chad is disappointed. And I can't blame him. I thought they'd do a little better, seeing as this was the first dance he seemed to enjoy dancing.
Niecy and Louis
Niecy and Louis will be performing a 90s paso doble. Niecy doesn't want Louis touching her weave. As well he shouldn't, because those things are expensive. Niecy doesn't know what a 90s paso doble is, and honestly, neither do I. What, they wear old flannel shirts and hoof it to a Hole song?
Oh, no grunge. Apparently the 90s are vintage Versace gold prints and hoop earrings. Who knew? This is not a pretty dance. Niecy looks like she's completely committed to this, but it's kind of awkward and galumpy, if that's a word.
Bruno thinks she threw herself into it like an avalanche, which means it wasn't very good. Carrie says it felt like bumper cars. Len says getting through the routine wasn't good enough. I think Niecy might be going home.
Score: 20. I wince, but I can't disagree with this score. Sorry, Niecy.
Brooke asks Niecy to justify her presence in the competition. Niecy says women who could hula hoop with a Cheerio don't have the guts to throw it all around, but she does! I love Niecy. I just wish she was a better dancer.
Erin and Maks
It's a 1980s rumba, which means "Flashdance" meets "Miami Vice" from a costuming point of view. Erin hates her skinny, long arms. Shut up, Erin.
Okay, this is no fault of Erin's, but what a boring friggin' dance this is. In the end, it's okay. Erin seems to be having fun, but it's not a great dance.
Carrie Ann says Erin lacks of confidence. Len thought the dance was jerky but he liked it. Bruno thought it had a spiky, beachy Madonna feel to it and thinks she should be in the final. I so rarely understand what Bruno is saying, but at least you can get the general impression from whether or not he jumps on the desk or stands up and waves his arms frantically. It's like mime judging or something.
Brooke asks about the Erin/Maks romance, a question Erin and Maks wisely duck. Good going for outing them, Brooke. You can kiss that gig at ESPN goodbye.
Score: 25. Not bad.
Evan and Anna
These two get a futuristic cha cha, which sounds perfect for Evan, who's already half-robot and way too excited about the opportunity to be expressionless.
Anna is dressed like the Fifth Element, while Evan has Ed Grimley hair, Michael Jackson gloves and a bad face paint thing happening. But it doesn't matter, because this is actually a great dance for Evan. He's clearly one of those kids who sat in his room practicing the robot when his schoolmates were going to parties and dating.
I love it when they cut to the audience and, while everyone else is wildly applauding, Chad is staring expressionlessly at Evan and Anna and limply patting his hands together as if this might be the hardest thing he's ever had to do.
Len was confused. Bruno thought it was Spock meets Barbarella in The Next Generation and I guess he liked it. Carrie Ann thought the stiff movement worked for Evan.
Backstage, Brooke is boring. The answers are boring. Do we really have to do this play-by-play crap after every dance? Seriously, it's just lame and Brooke gets stiffer every week.
Score: 26. Not bad, but must be a letdown after last week's perfect score.
Nicole and Derek
Derek is freaked out at the prospect of creating a 1950s paso doble. Nicole is worried. Why do I suspect I know the ending to this story? It's like an Elvis movie. Elvis faces an obstacle, he shakes his hips, and in short order everything is well in the world.
Of course, this dance is smokin' hot, a little bullfight, a little Elvis. And we cut to Chad sadly applauding again. Nicole nailed it.
Bruno says the flavor of Spain has never tasted so good. Carrie Ann is laughing she's so tickled and says it's brilliant. Len says there's nothing he can criticize. Can you say perfect score? Nicole gives Len a kiss on the cheek, which isn't as fun as Niecy kissing his big, bald forehead, but nice nonetheless.
Brooke asks Nicole if she'll enjoy rehearsals more next week. Hard-hitting question, Brooke!
Score: 30. Gee, maybe Nicole shouldn't stress so much.
Well, it looks like Niecy or Chad is going home, unless people just forget to vote for Nicole for some odd reason or the show is canceled due to some natural disaster or a bomb actually exploding in Times Square. I almost wish ABC would force Nicole to dance blindfolded or with one arm behind her back, just to make things a little more exciting, because honestly, it just feels like we're going through the paces at this point.
Do you think Niecy should go home? Do you think Chad's "Love Man" dance should have gotten a higher score? Who do you think is taking home the mirror ball trophy?

JACKSON, MI – Jackson County residents Peggy Debose and Stephenie Williams know what it feels like to not have anything for their children to open on Christmas morning.
They also know the feeling of relief when a helping hand comes through. In the past, Debose had been a recipient of the Salvation Army's Adopt-a-Family program.
Now the two want to give back and have created a group, Helping the Needy for the Holidays, to collect donations for low-income families.
"I've had so much help over the years. I felt compelled to pay it forward," Debose said.
So far the group has helped 13 families and is hoping to help another 12 before Christmas hits.
"We're not giving up," Williams said.
The group created a Facebook page.
Some families have posted their stories on the page as well as the items they are looking for and others have posted items they are willing to donate. The page is updated multiple times a day.
The group has been collecting new and used items and continues to do so.
"A lot of people think you have to buy brand new stuff; families appreciate used items, too," Williams said.
Despite being laid off in November when Hostess Brands Inc. closed, Williams said she will continue to help families who are less fortunate.
"I have a roof over my head; my kids have presents and food in their belly. I can't complain, I am just trying to pay it forward," she said.
Debose was evicted from her home the day after Thanksgiving. She said her husband was laid off and has not been able to find a job. As a result they were not able to make payments on the land contract.
Despite the setback, she also continues her work with the group.
"I know I have more than some people. One woman was living in a hotel with her kids," she said of someone they have helped.
For more information about Helping the Needy for the Holidays group or to make a donation call (517) 612-0306 or (517) 745-9243.

Flowers and notes are left at the pier at Seacliff State Beach where 17-year-old Nathan Phillips' body was found. The search for Phillips brought an outpouing of support from the small Santa Cruz County town.
Phillips went missing two weeks ago after telling his family he was going on an adventure.
"Every night laying in bed I was just, hearing the waves and feeling really sad for him and I just needed to come out here last night and just try to give myself some peace. And put something out there for him," said Dee Nugent.
Nugent didn't know Nathan personally but said when he went missing everyone in the Aptos community felt somehow affected. Nugent made a Christmas wreath with seashells and a note.
"I think its been great, all the people that have come out to look for him," said Nugent.
After Phillips went missing, hundreds helped search for him all over Santa Cruz County. On Thursday, fishermen found floating near the Seacliff Beach ship. Saturday, Nathan's family told Central Coast News that sheriff's deputies identified the body as Phillips' through his fingerprints.
Some say when they heard a body was found near the location Phillips' bike was discovered, they knew it was him.
"There's too many clues that kind of directed towards that would be him and I just feel really sad for the family, and for his little heart. My heart goes out to his little heart and soul," said Nugent.
The community response was there from the beginning. Over 3,000 liked a "Find Nathan" Facebook page. Even after the search ended, the community is there to support Nathan's family.
"Know he is not forgotten, he is going to be missed even by people that didn't know him," said Nugent.
Sheriff deputies have not said what exactly happened to Phillips. Aptos High parents said grief counselors were available last week for students and will be this week.

I'm doing some research into consumerism problems that young people in particular experience (kind of of BBC Watchdog type thing) and was wondering if there are any big issues you yourself have faced or issues that you can think of that affect teens/young people/students?
Anything except the student loans crisis of last year would be muchly appreciated.
If you have a rant about a company who have treated you badly, or that you think have a bad policy, let it all out here!
Thanks a lot.
Issues affecting young people

I'm not sure if this counts, but I thought I'd throw it in just in case
Many shops are fussy about giving student discounts (ones that clearly state they offer them), if you don't have the 'right' type of student card, they refuse to let you have a discount. Surely the point is to help out some poor students, as long as you can prove you're one, it shouldn't matter.
Superdrug refused me a discount with my UCAS discount card, even though there's a clear sign by their tills that they accept UCAS cards - apparently mine was the 'wrong type' of UCAS card
Yeah, I was in Topshop a few weeks ago and the woman was really scrutinising my card! She seemed quite reluctant to take the money off.
I think that young people do often get labelled as being up to no good and sometimes we get banned from shops etc. because of this image that we are all criminals, people give young people dirty looks especially if they are wearing hoodies etc. THIS DISCRIMINATION HAS TO STOP.
The Respect? Campaign believes that sometimes stereotypes about young people are blown out of proportion and young people get labelled for no reason. We want to tackle this and if you are interested in signing the Pledge which encourages young people to take action for themselves to make a difference please follow the link: http://www.pledgebank.com/RespectSpeakUp

Scheduled summer opening of Children's Adventure Garden at the Arboretum has been pushed back to fall
The opening of the Dallas Arboretum's $56-million children's garden is being pushed back until late September.
The Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden, planned as one of the most elaborate such venues in the country, had originally been scheduled to open in May. But officials say construction has been impacted by weather-related delays.
Rather than open in the summer, Arboretum officials said, September would make for a more comfortable debut.
"As there are many planned public activities associated with the opening, the fall is a more advantageous time to share this first-of-its-kind garden with the city, when cooler weather has arrived," said Mary Brinegar, the arboretum's president and CEO.
A new opening date has not been set.
That decision may be made as early as this week, pending approval by members of the organization's directors.
Even though the 20 months since construction began have been abnormally dry, the 61 days of rain that did occur had a larger than anticipated effect, according to John Armstrong, vice president of project development.
Below: a look ahead to the garden's opening … whenever that takes place. Continue reading

Race, Reason, and Representation
Tayyab Mahmud
Seattle University School of Law - Center for Global Justice
UC Davis Law Review Vol. 33, No. 4, 1999
This is a review essay based on Uday Singh Mehta, Liberalism and Empire: A study in Nineteenth-Century British Liberal Thought (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press 1999). It evaluates the entanglement of liberalism with colonialism to highlight many fundamental contradictions inherent in projects of modernity and the way universal claims are often bound by particularistic imperatives. Liberalism could reconcile its agenda of liberty and representation with colonial subjugation only by positing race as the grounds for eligibility to rights. With the project of neo-liberal restructuring of the world underway, it is useful to recall the disjunction between the theory and historical practice of liberalism.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 With summer time fast on the strategy lastly as well as we sure do wish it's better than last years was Sony models has revealed its newest water resistant, beach-ready lightweight photographic camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30. The upgrade to the long-dead TX20, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 seems based on the formal media picture to go back and introduce the slide to power up style that we thought the more recent TF1 style had all but introduced an end to. With moving areas any sand and water can get stuck and crisis, it doesn't help the photographic camera all that much.
Still, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 has a lot of high factors to yell about. It has a 5x visual zoom capability and is water resistant to a detail of 10m which, according to Sony models, is makes this the thinnest lightweight photographic camera able of such a task. Sony models sure does get the style down fairly much every time. New to the sequence is on board LED lighting to light up soft marine moments, much like the Pentax WG series of cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 is designed around an 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS indicator and will be for selling come on future year, just before summer time season sun.

For a number of years I've been working with architectural practices heavily involved in the delivery of public buildings. Equally, I've worked alongside visual artists working on community projects. Although I've witnessed a few collaborations between the professions, I do wonder why there hasn't been more importance placed on developing such partnerships, particularly in designing schools and hospitals. One obvious answer is the need to reduce building costs. Limiting or completely…Continue
