Get this app!
I've used Onavo Extend for several years through several versions and it's great. Earlier versions were buggy but the newer versions have been rock solid on my iPhones 5 and 6.
This app has reduced my data usage up to 21% but the high end of that range is unusual. The current version does better than past versions though; my biggest savings have been in the past few months.
Even better for me is the built-in VPN. It automatically kicks in when I'm not on wi-fi and it provides great added security.
Highly recommended.
Great App!
Not only is the price right - its 100% FREE! - but this app reminded me that I'm charged for ALL THE BANDWIDTH that I use whenever that I'm not on WIFI.
So this app saves me from making an additional $20/month contribution to AT&T for exceeding their 200 MB/month cellular data limit.
Great job!
Can not uninstall
App works, routes every ounce of data through them. Only 2 stars for inability to remove VPN from phone once installed. After removing app, the Vpn remains in settings and would appear to still route your data trough them.

I was afraid this would be another macho book about reckless men roaming the plains chasing tornadoes during storm season. Instead it turned out to be a wonderful compendium of tornado lore through the centuries. Also included are biographies of some of our most important weather scientists.
Storm Kings begins with a description of how during the 1600s New England settlers called any phenomenon that happened in the sky meteors including: meteors (of course), lightning, thunder, rainbows, comets, clouds in the shape of hands and faces, etc. Although the science behind tornadoes was not understood and barely documented then, many colonists recognized that the weather in America was much more violent than in their home countries.
When a tornado swooped down near Cambridge, MA in 1680, two farming families were shocked when one lost a servant and another a barn during the storm. They were so frightened by this event that one wrote to Increase Mather (the father of Cotton) asking about it. Increase, who was a self-educated weather expert, had no answers so he wrote to a scientific association in Europe. No one replied to his inquiry, but Benjamin Franklin found this letter seventy years later when he became interested in the study of weather and electricity.
In another life, I would love to become a wildlife biologist; it combines things I loves such as working with animals, walking, observing deeply, and travel. This book does all of the above plus makes you more curious about the flora and fauna around us. Why are robins common and not Kirtland's warblers? Why are deer abundant and not jaguars? Eric Dinerstein, the author, started his scientific career studying tigers and later rhinoceroses. He is now Chief Scientist at the World Wildlife Fund. In The Kingdom of Rarities, he travels to many continents to explore the rare creatures and plants living there.
One of the places he and his scientific team visit is Irian Jaya, a remote island on the Indonesian archipelago. It combines two aspects of places that often give homes to rare creatures: remoteness, and being situated on an island. Another factor that makes Irian Jaya home to rarities is its geology—its steep mountains and gorges serve as barriers to invasive species which have become common on many other islands. The description of Dinerstein's flight to this research spot is compelling; it was incredibly risky just to land a plane there. But well worth it because the scientists found many rare creatures quite close to them and not shy at all with humans. The scientists were amazed by how many species divided their habitats vertically.
Some books break your heart with their beauty; others break your heart with their sadness. Mighty Silence: Images of Destruction does the latter. In these days immediately following the highly destructive Oklahoma tornadoes of 2013, ripped homes, buildings, and schools are on our minds. This beautifully-produced book showcases many striking photographs of the Tohoku region of Japan where the massive tsunami struck two years ago.
The photos are large, some even opening into more than a two page spread. But the main thing that struck me about them is how seldom they include any people. I noticed only one person in the whole collection, a solitary utility repairman high in a crane over demolished houses and smashed cars. Animals are mostly missing also, except for one murder of crows crisscrossing the wires of one empty city, and a strange cat with radioactive-mutated whiskers near Fukushima.
I read a lot of narrative non-fiction - historical, microhistory, natural sciences, travel, and environmental. I read these to be better informed, but also for pleasure so my ultimate test for a narrative non-fiction book is whether it would have made a better magazine article. I hate finishing something that I think was interesting, but could have been boiled down into a 20 page magazine article with the same impact. I've recently read two non-fiction books passed the magazine article test and then some.
The Big Thirst: The Marvels, Mysteries & Madness Shaping the New Era of Water by Charles Fishman isn't about how to make changes in your lifestyle with regards to water conservation. It isn't a how-to book for urban or rural planners. It is a book that will challenge what you think you know about water from the big picture including where it comes from and what do we really mean by "clean". This book will also identify our emotional connection with water and will put those assumptions to the test. Near the end of the book, an economist presents a model for future water use that makes sense for both dry places like Las Vegas and Australia should also be considered for wetter places like Atlanta and even Bloomington. There are pages and pages of research, calculations and notes at the end, but the book was captivating, accessible and provides much food for thought.
While some predict the imminent demise of the printed book, some profess that the printed book will continue on in perpetuity. I stand with the second group. As much as I enjoy the convenience of ebooks, there is a majesty to a beautifully illustrated and bound printed book that not even the most colorfully animated ebooks can equal. There is so much ephemeral electronic correspondence today that a printed book, by its sheer mass and substance commands a certain amount of respect. Or, perhaps it's simply the history of the printed book that I revere.
From the Good Mountain: How Gutenberg Changed the World lavishly presents the early history of the printed book as pioneered by Johannes Gutenberg in 1450. Categorized as a biography, this new picturebook by James Rumford focuses more on Gutenberg's revolutionary invention of the printing press, than on the life of Gutenberg himself. Each richly illustrated double-page spread describes the process of creating a book as a mystery of sorts, asking the reader to guess the elements that formed the finished product: "What was this thing made of rags and bones?" and answering on the next page: "It was paper, and it was ready."
The epilogue to this book notes that Gutenberg's invention remains a bit of a mystery, as no one knows for sure how he was able to produce such beautifully crisp and clear letters in the 1400s. But some of the books he produced more than 500 years ago endure to this day. In fact a copy of one of those books resides in Bloomington at the Lily Library on the campus of Indiana University. The Gutenberg Bible rests in a glass case on display in the Lily Library, open for anyone to visit.
From the Good Mountain concludes with an illustration of computer circuitry, suggesting that as hand copied books gave way to printed ones, and printed books give way to ebooks, perhaps it doesn't matter at all what books look like -- what form they take -- as long as people keep writing and reading them. What are you reading today?
If you've ever seen any of Edward Curtis's photos of Native Americans, you cannot forget them. Not only did Curtis capture members of various tribes with respect but their individuality and humanity stares at you from the page. He also recorded many spiritual ceremonies and active shots that give us some insight into what daily life was like for these people.
This excellent biography tells the story of the famous photographer's life, how he came from utter poverty in Wisconsin, then provided for his entire family as a young teen-ager, to a hardscrabble existence fishing and crabbing near Seattle. But in his late teens, he buys something for himself - a rare occurrence. He purchases a lens for his dad's old camera.
Soon he manages to round up $150 - a large sum for a young man supporting an entire family in those days--and buys into a photography business in downtown Seattle. In a mere two years, he becomes the most famous photographer in the Northwest, in high demand to immortalize society and business leaders. But though the work makes him rich and feted by society, it's the Native American culture that draws him. He realizes that the country has finished expanding, that the westward migration has ended, and that the native tribes will have less and less space to call their own. Curtis understood that their way of life-- the clothing, the hunting, and especially the spiritual ceremonies--will mostly cease to exist.
The Oxford English Dictionary is the premier dictionary of the English language. It is famous for its easy-to-understand definitions and word etymology, which strives to record the earliest known usage. The seemingly simple verbs set, make and put vie with each other for the longest entries - over 60,000 words each to describe all of the uses and senses!
The current editor of the OED, as it is commonly known, is set to retire later this year. John Simpson was briefly interviewed on Morning Edition on NPR yesterday. What makes his position newsworthy is that he is only the seventh editor of the dictionary since the project's beginning in 1879 and has been working in this high profile position of the world's most famous dictionary for more than 35 years.
In addition to some specialized copies of the Oxford dictionaries for foreign languages and picture dictionaries, MCPL owns a compact version of the Oxford English Dictionary. The print is so tiny, you need a zoom text reading machine (which MCPL also owns!) to really read any parts of this mammoth book.
It's Earth Day. Senator Gaylord Nelson was the driving force behind the first one which occurred in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues. As I scanned the new releases in the environmental section, this book caught my eye. It was a sobering read but one that was very thought-provoking. World-renowned legal scholar, Andrew Guzman, wrote Overheated. In it, he examines the political and sociological changes from climate change that the author reports have already started to occur. Not just flooding and mega-storms, but also droughts, food scarcity, refugees forced from their land, lack of water for agriculture, etc. In his preface, the author states that "climate change will affect nearly everyone on this planet."
The chapter topics reveal his major concerns: one on flooding shows how some island nations will disappear, and that at least one very populated one - Bangladesh - will suffer massive flooding that will lead to migrations of millions of refugees. The chapter entitled "A Thirsty World" depicts how the melting of glaciers will affect the water supply of many people on earth, not only in India, Pakistan, Argentina, and Chile, but also in our American West. He predicts that this will impact both our food supply and the prices of commodities.
In "Climate Wars: A Shower of Sparks" he hypothesizes how the conflict in Darfur in the 1990s may have been the first war sparked by climate change. Guzman also says that more wars will be caused by a scarcity of resources. He is very concerned about the Middle East, already one of the most arid areas in the world.
The Pulitzer Prize is an annual awards given to excellence in newspaper and online journalism, literature, and musical composition and are administered by Columbia University in New York City. The 2013 awards were announced yesterday. For books, the following awards were given.
Fiction - The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
Ambitious and inventive, this novel is set in an orphanage in North Korea. Protagonist Pak Jun Do is forced to become a fighting tunnel expert and a kidnapper before he takes his fate into his own hands. Johnson is able to tell the tale of touching humanity set within the backdrop of a brutal regime.
Roger Ebert, film critic extraordinaire and Pulitzer Prize winner, died last week after a battle with cancer. Immediately following his death, there were lots of quotes circulating online from Ebert which reminded me what a great writer he was. In writing about movies, Ebert was able often able to put his finger on the pulse of real life human behavior and articulate the human condition - both the happy and the sad. I forgot how funny he was, and his reviews are a joy to read even if you disagree on the rating.
Those interested in starting with the basics, check out his Movie Yearbooks - complete with movie reviews, essays, tributes, journal entries, and new additions to his popular Movie Glossary. If you are looking for critiques that might lead you to viewing of really good movies, try The Great Movie series. However, some of Ebert's best writing was in critiquing bad movies. If you aren't looking for movie suggestions, but just some hilarious examples of his writing check out Your Movie Sucks.

Steffy Forrester is the daughter of Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes; Steffy and her twin sister, Phoebe Forrester, were born after Taylor suffered through tuberculosis during pregnancy. Steffy was named for her grandmother, Stephanie Forrester. During a boat trip in St. Thomas, two-year-old Steffy fell overboard and was presumed dead in a shark attack, but Morgan DeWitt, a deranged woman who once aborted Ridge's baby, had kidnapped Steffy and dyed her hair red to pass Steffy off as her daughter. Steffy was rescued by her parents.
Steffy was devastated when Taylor was killed in an altercation with the nefarious Sheila Carter; Steffy was partially raised by Brooke Logan, whom Ridge remarried. Steffy reunited with her parents when it was revealed that Taylor's "body" had been replaced with a dummy by Taylor's former husband, Prince Omar of Morocco, who was keeping Taylor at his palace. Steffy and Phoebe went to London to attend boarding school; while Phoebe returned to Los Angeles, Steffy stayed overseas.
Now said to be fraternal, not identical twins with Phoebe, Steffy came home from college and worked in the mail room of her family's design house, Forrester Creations, where Steffy met Marcus Walton. Steffy dated Marcus, but gently turned down his proposal after becoming interested in Rick Forrester, who had been involved with both Steffy's mother and sister. Though Steffy initially railed at Rick for his womanizing and blamed him for the car accident which claimed a confrontational Phoebe, Steffy bonded with Rick in her grief, raising the ire of her entire family.
After Steffy agreed to marry Rick, Ridge played her a recording in which Rick admitted he was only romancing Steffy to get back at longtime rival Ridge. Steffy forgave Rick but ultimately let him go because of the dissension their relationship caused within her family' Steffy later turned down Marcus' attempt at a reunion.
To ensure that Ridge and Taylor remarried, Steffy and her brother, Thomas Forrester, faked text messages from Brooke, who earned an enemy in Steffy when she exposed Steffy and stopped her parents' wedding. Steffy made moves on the married Owen Knight, then developed an attraction to the equally married Bill Spencer, Jr. Steffy kissed Bill before his wedding to Brooke's sister, Katie Logan, whom Bill made CEO of Forrester after he took over the company; Steffy attempted to seduce Bill and swiped Katie's engagement ring, saying she would go to Katie if Bill didn't sign Forrester over to her. On an anti-Logan crusade, Steffy edged them out by dividing the company's stock between her grandfather, Eric Forrester, Stephanie, Ridge, and Taylor.
Steffy worked against Hope Logan by trying to steal her boyfriend, Oliver Jones, and publicly embarrassing Hope by making her "Hope for the Future" sign read "HO for the Future" during a fashion show. Steffy didn't get the chance to publicize Oliver's footage of Bridget Forrester sleeping with the married Owen, but Steffy was able to strike out at Brooke when Brooke mistakenly cheated on Ridge with Oliver at Hope's costumed graduation party. Steffy's attempt to blackmail Brooke and Oliver was defused by Brooke, who confessed to Ridge, and Steffy was forced by Ridge to assemble a video tribute to Brooke. But computer tech Liam Cooper accidentally recorded Steffy talking about Brooke's betrayal; Steffy was blamed when her words were overdubbed onto her video by Bill's right-hand man Justin Barber and leaked online.
Angry with Ridge, Steffy contemplated selling Bill the 25% share of Forrester given to her by Taylor. Instead, after a failed attempt to entice Liam away from Hope, Steffy transferred to Forrester International. Coming home with Bill on her mind, Steffy saved Amber Moore when Bill plotted to kill Amber for trapping Liam with a pregnancy. Steffy begged Bill for help when Thomas was lost at sea; though Steffy and Bill became closer through the ordeal, Steffy was distraught that Bill wouldn't leave Katie.
Steffy sought comfort in Bill's arms when Ridge stayed with Brooke despite a plot that involved Thomas claiming he had sex with Brooke while marooned on an island with her. Steffy and Bill nearly made love, but Taylor caught them and told Katie; Steffy was heartbroken when Bill went back on his promise to leave Katie, slipping and nearly drowning in a bathtub until she was rescued by Liam. Steffy let Liam know she was sexually available, unlike Hope, who wanted to remain a virgin until her wedding night. Steffy was thrilled when Liam gave her the engagement ring Hope left behind after catching Steffy and Liam kissing; Steffy worked with Bill to keep Liam and Hope apart, spiriting Liam away to Aspen and marrying him while Hope was forced to watch their wedding from a gondola.
Steffy and Liam vacationed at the same resort as Thomas and Hope; Steffy tried to keep Liam from seeing Hope, which led to Steffy being thrown from an ATV. Steffy nearly lost Liam when she admitted her misdeeds in Aspen and Mexico, but Steffy was diagnosed with a blood clot in her brain that was said to be life-threatening under stress. After it was revealed that Bill faked Steffy's MRI to keep her and Liam together, Steffy held out for a proper divorce from Liam instead of granting him an annulment. Steffy created a ski line, presenting it in Aspen, where Hope, hopped up on antianxiety pills, crashed into Steffy on the slopes. When Liam stayed by Steffy's side in the hospital, Steffy signed Liam's annulment papers, which he tore up.
Steffy grudgingly travelled to Puglia, Italy, for Liam and Hope's wedding; when Hope was a no-show, Steffy welcomed Liam's surprise kiss, but was disappointed when Liam married Hope anyway. Steffy watched the wedding from a distance and fell into the Adriatic Sea. Steffy deleted a video of her and Liam kissing, which had been accidentally recorded by his iPad; Hope saw it and demanded a "do-over" wedding, so Steffy took Liam out partying the night before. After Hope dumped Liam for showing up to their wedding with dyed hair and a tattoo, Steffy informed Liam she would be there for him when he was ready to move on.
Steffy and Liam reunited and went parasailing in Aspen, but Steffy discovered Liam wasn't over Hope when she spied them kissing. Steffy had discovered she was pregnant but refused to tell Liam, despite Taylor's insistence; Steffy instead gave Liam time to decide between her and Hope. But when Steffy got wind of a surprise wedding Brooke was throwing for Hope and Liam, Steffy stopped it with news of her pregnancy. Steffy and Liam were happier than ever after a wedding which included Steffy riding up the aisle on a motorcycle; asked not to ride again until after the baby was born, Steffy did so once to beat traffic and took a spill that caused her to miscarry.
A despondent Steffy fainted in front of Katie and was forced to confide to her former rival that a botched D&C procedure had rendered her unable to have more children. Steffy moved to Paris and divorced Liam, insisting that Liam return to Hope. While overseas, Steffy underwent a procedure that restored her fertility, which she admitted to a persistent Quinn Fuller, whose son, Wyatt Fuller, was interested in Hope. At Quinn's urging, Steffy went to Liam on his wedding day to Hope and told him she could have children after all; Steffy went home after an understanding Liam said his heart was with Hope.
Steffy was surprised when Liam came to her with an idea to oust Rick, who had taken tyrannical control of Forrester as CEO. Steffy would only combine her 25% share of Forrester with Ridge, Thomas, and Bill to gain controlling interest if Liam would come back to Steffy and ditch his current girlfriend, Ivy Forrester. Steffy tried to sway Liam in a bikini but returned to Paris after Ivy shut her down. Later, Ridge summoned Steffy to L.A. to implement the takeover plan, telling Steffy not to make Liam's return a condition this time; Steffy agreed, and Rick was removed from the CEO chair by Ridge.
Steffy still had designs on Liam and was furious when Liam married the Australian Ivy to keep her in the country. However, when Liam's feelings for Steffy resurfaced and Ivy's immigration issues were sorted out, Steffy happily reunited with Liam, drawing the ire of young Aly Forrester, who had a history of mental illness stemming from the violent childhood death of her mother, Darla Einstein, at the inadvertent hands of Taylor. Steffy defended herself against Aly's accusations of promiscuity and implored Aly to accept Ridge's California Freedom line, which featured bikinis, lingerie, and transgender models.
After a successful showing, Steffy's car got a flat tire on the same stretch of highway where Darla died. Steffy narrowly escaped being run over by Aly and almost talked her down until Aly tried to hit Steffy with a tire iron, then a rock; Steffy grabbed the tire iron and swung at Aly, who hit her head on a rock and died. Steffy stashed the tire iron in the bushes and had no answers for Aly's inconsolable father, Thorne Forrester. Steffy was horrified when Ivy presented a video in which it looked like Steffy had hit Aly with the tire iron; Steffy had memory lapses of the confrontation and gave in when Ivy blackmailed her with the video, making Ivy the New Face of Forrester.
After Ivy's new boyfriend, Wyatt Fuller, talked Ivy into deleting the incriminating video, Steffy fired Ivy, ignoring her apologies. Honoring Eric's request to make peace, Steffy reinstated Ivy but forced the conservative girl to model lingerie; eventually, Liam brokered a truce between Steffy and her cousin. Steffy happily accepted Liam's proposal but stepped into Wyatt and Ivy's relationship when she learned Ivy had been kissing Thomas. Steffy pushed the jilted Ivy away during an argument, accidentally throwing Ivy into live wires and electrocuting her.
Steffy was nearly arrested when she violated Ivy's restraining order, and when Ivy decided to go back to Australia after a failed attempt to reunite with Liam, Steffy was blamed when Ivy fell down the stairs and suffered a concussion. Owing to a series of miscommunications when Liam escorted Ivy on the plane to Sydney, Steffy allowed herself to be comforted by Wyatt and fell asleep with him in bed. Steffy couldn't understand when Liam came home and broke their engagement; as Liam gave Steffy the silent treatment, Steffy spent time with Wyatt and kissed him on the beach. When Wyatt bought Steffy a motorcycle, Steffy happily rode for the first time since her miscarriage.
Steffy felt she couldn't move on with Wyatt until she made sense of things with Liam; when she received a dismissive voice mail from Liam, she made love to Wyatt. Steffy held back when Wyatt wanted to get serious, deciding instead to move out of Liam's house and into the Forrester mansion with her father. Steffy was surprised when she called the much-absent Quinn and got Quinn's new boyfriend, Adam. Steffy finally accepted Wyatt's proposal of marriage, but confronted a visiting Ivy and called Hope in Milan; neither of Liam's ex-wives had heard from him, either. Steffy married Wyatt on the beach, getting the shock of her life when Liam showed up soon after, having escaped from Quinn, to whom Liam had believed he was married while in an amnesiac state.
Steffy was forced to tell Liam about marrying Wyatt when Liam, who believed he was still engaged to Steffy, planned a wedding for her. Though Liam actively campaigned to win Steffy back, Steffy was inclined to honor her marriage to Wyatt. Steffy couldn't believe it when the fugitive Quinn showed up asking Steffy to speak to Liam on her behalf; Steffy secretly texted Wyatt to call the police and kept Quinn talking until the officers arrived. Steffy told Wyatt to keep Quinn away from her and kept thinking of Liam, especially when it briefly seemed that Steffy's marriage to Wyatt might be invalid. Steffy supported Liam's idea to create a charitable foundation at Spencer and complied with Wyatt's request to become the face of its social media.

I am interested in the software design process, requirements engineering and systems engineering.
I obtained my first degree from the University of Durham, followed later by an MSc in Computing Science from Newcastle University. After graduating I spent five years working in the north east of England in various industries as a software developer and website manager.
I returned to Newcastle in 2007 to start a PhD. My doctoral researwch involved developing some new metrics as part of an investigation into whether early project data can be used to predict later change-proneness.
After obtaining myPhD I've worked at Newcastle as a Teaching Fellow as well as researching prediction models in software engineering and contributing towards the DESTECS project and the COMPASS project, a research consortium investigating the use of model-based techniques for developing and maintaining systems-of-systems.
Currently I work on the Road2CPS project, which is an EU-funded consortium responsible for building European cyber-physical systems engineering constituencies. I also work on the CPSE Labs project, an innovative EU-funded initiative which aims to support businesses in Europe developing trustworthy cyber-physical systems. CPSE Labs runs a series of open calls, inviting European industry to submit proposals for industrial experiments.
My research interests lie in software engineering, particularly in the software design process, as well as software metrics, architectures, systems of systems and requirements engineering. I also have interests in systems engineering, particularly in the relationship between software engineering and systems engineering.
Currently I work in the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS). A CPS is a system that incorporates elements of complex computation as well as interactions with the physical environment (e.g., via sensors and actuators). Examples could include transport systems that collect information about movements of passengers or vehicles and then take actions to influence their movements, or home systems that monitor an elderly person living alone and raise the alarm if they need help. However, there are many possible application areas within the CPS engineering field. I am currently a member of Newcastle's Cyber-Physical Lab, a group of researchers tackling challenges in this area. I am interested in techniques for modelling CPSs, including systems engineering techniques appropriate for CPSs, and the CPS design process.
At the moment I work on the CPSE Labs project, which is an innovative EU-funded initiative which aims to support businesses developing cyber-physical systems. CPSE Labs runs a series of open calls, to which businesses are invited to submit proposals. I also work on Road2CPS, another EU-funded project which is building a CPS constituency in Europe.
In the past I worked on the COMPASS project, a large European-funded research consortium investigating the use of model-based techniques for developing and maintaining systems of systems. On COMPASS I was involved in architectural modelling approaches, fault tolerance, traceability, taxonomy development and roadmapping.
I also contributed towards the DESTECS project, which developed tools and techniques to support the development of fault-tolerant embedded systems. DESTECS tools focussed on bridging the gap between different disciplines (e.g., software developers, and mechanical or control engineers) involved in fault tolerant embedded systems.

Small Islands and Natural Hazards in Historical and Current Perspectives
Workshop at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC), LMU Munich, Germany
November 22 - 24, 2012
Rebecca Hofmann (RCC)
Uwe Lübken (RCC)
Small islands have largely been ignored by mainstream historical research. Why, after all, should scholars be interested in the past of seemingly unimportant patches of land, especially if they are located at the "edge of the world"? If they are treated at all, they are portrayed as either a place of desire (i.e., a mythical and, very often, tropical paradise), or as the exact opposite: the epitome of a nearly impossible life, a place where "civilizations" must, almost necessarily, collapse due to the isolation, the limited resource base, and, last but not least, the frequent exposure to natural hazards. Ironically, the latter point has triggered a new interest in small islands. In a world with a warming climate, rising sea levels, and the likelihood of increasing extreme natural events, these peculiar places have turned into pioneer communities at the forefront of global environmental change (the same can be said for arctic settlements). Yet, while isolation and the prevalence of natural hazards certainly describe important elements of life on small islands, the focus on vulnerability neglects the fact that small island communities have thrived for centuries, often dealing with these challenges successfully.
This workshop aims to look at the complex problem that natural hazards have posed—and still pose—on small islands in a more nuanced way. Thus, we are seeking proposals covering a range of interconnected historical topics, as well as current topics with a strong historical component, and which deal with any landform within the world's oceans, seas, and waterways, including oceanic islands, river islands, char (is)lands, sunken islands, resurfaced islands, etc. (We are not trying to define either "smallness" or "islands" here. Rather, we are open to innovative approaches to the concept of "small islands," if a convincing case is made). The workshop will explore various questions, including but not limited to the following:
• What, if anything, is special about the ways and means with which islanders have faced natural hazards in the past?
• How have small island communities dealt with the threats of erosion, subsidence, and sea level rise, as well as sea level fall? When and by whom were tipping points detected after which life on sinking islands became unsustainable?
• Did and does "islandness" contribute to coping with disaster? Are small islands laboratories of resilience, adaptation, and mitigation?
• How have colonialism, military occupation, and other forms of domination influenced island vulnerability and resilience in the Global South and elsewhere? Have development and modernization contributed to an erosion of coping practices?
• How are natural hazards represented in island cultures, discourses, and narratives, and how have these representations, in turn, influenced local coping capacities?
• Did or does the specter of sinking islands also endanger a particularly Western sense of longing or desire for a tropical paradise (lost)?
• How have strategies of mobility and migration been employed to deal with natural hazards?
Please send a proposal of no more than 500 words and a brief CV to: firstname.lastname@example.com
The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2012. Participants will be notified as soon as possible.
The conference will be held in English and will focus on the discussion of pre-circulated papers of about 5,000 to 7,000 words (due by November 1, 2012) that have not already been published nor are under consideration. The RCC will cover participants' travel and accommodation costs.

Posted on 06/10/2011 7:29:23 PM PDT by gop4lyf
I am going to a gun show on Sunday and I have narrowed it down to 4 choices. I am not looking for a concealed/carry model since it will be for range shooting and home defense only. I also am not looking for a higher caliber, 9mm only. Does anyone have and experience/opinions on any of these? any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Ruger SR9 Springfield XD9 Taurus PT809 Sig Sauer P250
The XD9 is the only one that i have actually fired. I have held the Ruger and it felt fine in my hand.
Friends don't let friends buy 9mm .45ACP ONLY!
Glock sub com. Great gun.
My current 9mm handguns are: Glock 19 and Beretta M9. Different as night and day, but both have been superb.
You can't miss me, I'll be the guy wear a Ranger's Cap and a Mav's T-shirt :-)
THe Ruger SR9 would be a good one.
If you were going for the Springfield, get the XDM model (newest). Nicer grip, more capacity.
I have a Taurus 709 Slim. It has been flawless through over a thousand rounds of numerous types of ammo. I love the way it fits my hand and it can be carried in a holster or pocket in most types of pants. I love it! It is a single stack and you must clean it right out of the box before shooting it, but, for my money, it is a sweet little 9mm.
Without regard to your choices, beware the gun-show fares. Yours may differ, but most I've been to have far more overpriced guns than bargains.
You and everyone else!
May as well buy a .38 Spcl. Go for a S&W .40 or .45 ACP Terminal ballistics are better. I presume your going light for a reason but for the life of me I can't understand why if it is self defense your concerned about.
So the question is - if it's NOT for concealed, then why 9mm?
I have a hard time recommending anything 9mm for home defense.
That being said, I *did* purchase a Baretta PX4 Storm *Subcompact* recently for concealed carry purposes. (They have non-subcompact models, too.) It's a very well thought out pistol with surprising accuracy for a subcompact, so I imagine the non-subcompact is an even better shooter.
Biggest complaint? No chamber window.
I have a S&W .38 and a 12 gauge that I am currently using for home defense, so maybe this is just going to be a new toy.
Do not overlook CZ handguns
I'm kind of a traditionalist so if I was forced to go with a 9mm I'd probably opt for a Browning Hi-Power, CZ75BD or a Beretta M92/M9 or Or a Taurus PT92.
Having said that, unless you have a compelling reason for a 9mm, I'd really reconsider looking at upgrading to .38 Super, .357 Sig, .40 S&W, 10mm, or of course .45ACP if this is to be used for personal defense.
Avoid the Taurus!!
Get the venerable Glock 17, a reliable classic.
Get any 9mm you like, as long as it is in .45.
Beretta 92FS, Italian
Sig Sauer P226 is truly an excellent handgun
the P228 is a bit more compact. I don't like it for my hand and prefer the P226.
I also love the Browning HiPower.
While these are not on your list, they still are excellent handguns.
I think all your choices are OK. I know you are limiting your discussion to these particular guns but there are better ones out there.
There is one oddball which I absolutely love. It is the Helwan 9mm. It is made in Egypt and is a quality gun. It is a copy of the Beretta 1951 Brigadier. I have owned enough of them that I actually like them better than the Beretta model 92. They are single action and have an 8 shot mag.
Another great one which seems to fit everyone's hand and which beginners seem to shoot better than most is the Browning Hi-power. It is single action but very high capacity mags are available. If you want to save money, get an Argentine made one. They are of equal or even better quality yet with a plain finish. I had one which just would not jam no matter what I fed it and that included some reloads I had made many years ago in high school using a Lee loader and a pipe crimping tool so the bullets would stay in the case. It fed it all including some sub-machine gun ammo.
Probably the best is the Sig P-226. The current Beretta model 92 is the best one yet and is a great gun. They have recently made some subtle changes to improve already great reliability.
If you can find a post war Walther P-4 at a good price it is a Walther P-38 lookalike but with greatly improved mechanics. It also is accurate and reliable.
I do not like the various Ruger P series as they mostly don't feel good in my hand. If they do feel good in yours they are a terrific bargain.
Another odd but great one is the Argentine Bersa. They have changed the models slightly but they are all good.
You have picked some pretty good names. Pick each one up and see how each one feels in your hand
Negative = the safety is between your ears with a Glock. If you don't have a lot of time to practice or are not too familiar with handguns, buy something with a regular thumb safety.
The Sig P250 is a great "friend" to have. Acurate, light weight, and in the matte black invisible in the dark ;)
No idea about any of those particular guns, although my opinion is that all things being equal, the Ruger is probably the best value for the money. That and I think you might ought to reconsider the caliber- 9mm works but it doesn't strike with the authority of the .45 ACP.
I would stay away from Taurus. Their quality control is hit or miss and I'm being generous by saying that.
Get a Sig, but not the P250. If price is a concern, you'll be happier with an SP2022.
If it is not, go with the P229 or P226.
LOVE my CZ 75B.
I like my Beretta 92F.
Bought a Sig P226 since The World's Greatest Gun Salesman was elected, but haven't shot it yet.
Oh yeah, those and the rest of the them all fell out of my fishing boat this week. I am still very upset about that. I miss them all so!
Why not go for a .45?
But hey, you decided on a 9mm.
Sig and XD are good choices.
Anyone that likes 9mm hasn't tried .38 special or anything bigger. For home defence, you want a shotgun first and a double action revolver second. Notice autoloader handguns aren't mentioned. This is no accident.
I accidentally left out the CZs. They are both well designed and well executed. Among the best there is.
Also if you can find one of the old Star model 28 or 30 models, they are beasts. Heavy but reliable and according to shooting ranges they hold up better than any to extensive shooting.
Echo Snowrip on the Sig P229. It is a tack driver and fun to shoot. Worth the extra money.
Good for concealed carry, home defense and it is home on the range.
Mine is a .40 but it is expensive to shoot. I have shot 9mm, .380 and .40 at the same target for comparison. The .40 makes a nice big hole.
Out of those the Sig is the sweetest shooter by far.
In fact, Have you ever fired the Sig in .45ACP??!!??
I haven't got personal experience with the models you listed aside from the Sig SAUER P250.
Let me nudge you toward a 9mm not on your list that's a sublime range gun and thoroughly capable as hell home defense pistol: Beretta 92FS.
That one is better than all others on your list in fit, finish, and function, but at about the same price. A genuine Italian-made model is beyond compare. Fits your bill perfectly since it's too blocky for CCW anyway, but shoots one ragged hole in paper at 25 feet. Italian Berettas come with amusing and fancy paperwork that looks like a Papal decree, plus a nice case. The other guns you list come in cardboard boxes.
A lot of people (including me) don't much care for 9mm but you've clearly looked into it and made your choice. Anyway, while IMO it's not the best, it's also certainly not the worst.
I know you are going to get a lot of recommendations for the Glock even though it is not on your list. Personally I never liked the Glock trigger. Perhaps it is because I'm so used to a single action handgun - the Colt 1911.I find the trigger pull so much longer and less crisp than a single action gun.
While I haven't had the opportunity to try one, I've heard very good things about the Ruger SR9, including here: http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-SR9.htm. Note he says that dry firing the weapon without a magazine is very misleading (and not recommended). The main thing is, make every effort to try them all out before you buy - hand guns are very personal - what's right for your buddy might not be the best choice for you.
Glock 19 works fine for me. If it's a home defense gun you might want to get a rail mounted flashlight like a Surefire or Glock makes one as well.
My XD9 has never failed to feed yet. I trust it 100%.
It may just be the picture but that Browning seems to have a longer barrel than standard.
Yes they do. By the way I also am an Old Navy Vet.
Taurus has a bad rap. I have a Taurus PT92. It's a great gun.
Find a Browning Hi-Power if you can. Seriously. I love my Kahr PM-9 but the Browning was the one that made it all happen.
Its gotta be the digital camo. If you stare at it hard enough it kinda morfs in and out.
"Friends dont let friends buy 9mm .45ACP ONLY!"
1911s are great! I have one. But there is something to be said for high capacity magazines in 9mm with the proper ammo. They will be useful when addressing the future street home invasion flash mobs (20 - 40)that many suspect are on the horizon (fewer tactical reloads). One of each in left and right hand are just fine.
Ref. posters request, I would offer XD, Sig, Baretta, and Taurus as mfrs. of quality 9mm, but if it is not a carry gun, get at least 17 mag capacity.
XD 9 would be fine. But check out a Browning Hi-Power.
Excellent choice !

This can be a nice park if you have reservations and can find a site. They are considering adding more full hookups which are needed as we had a choice of 2 spots. The pool and mini golf were good and the park is large and flat which was good for long bike rides.
There are few guide signs and those that exist require interpretation. Previously I took a wrong turn and found myself locked in behind the office. - Bud H

The main staff is the only reason this review is as high as it is. The campsite itself was clean, our pull-through site was huge, and the staff was very kind and helpful. My low review, however, is specifically to the pool staff. We were swimming in the late afternoon, and there was a good sized staff of lifeguards of 4 or 5. They must've had friends swimming, because, despite all the guard towers, they all sat in pool chairs on the same side of the pool chatting with each other, their friends in the pool, and taking pictures with their phones. Yes, at least 2 of them had their phones out, taking selfies!
We only stayed there for the night, but the place had a good friendly vibe to it. I'm not sure if we'd stay there again, but I would warn, not necessarily discourage, people from staying there. - JKBuzenby

This is a very confusing place if you are staying only a few nights using KOA. The KOA campground sits in the middle of a Thousand Trails membership campground. The amenities have recently undergone an upgrade with a new pool area and clubhouse. Sections of the TT campground are developed with campers permanently on campsites. The campground is gated requiring a key card to get in after hours.
When we arrived we were met by TT folks who were helpful getting us checked in but wanted to sell TT. The KOA staff forgot to give us a card pass for entry into the park after hours so we were locked out one night until someone could open the gate for us. There is a lot of vehicle traffic with both cars and golf carts.
KOA should consider turning their part over to TT. I don't recommend staying here. - Aldeaux

Our second time to visit Mounds SRA at Brookville Reservoir. We stayed in the FHU section again, and it was fairly full. The rest of the park (electric only) was sparsely populated in mid-September.
Electricity was out for about 3 hours on Sunday morning, they got it fixed. Water was out for a while, too, 'cause someone backed over a water spigot and it needed dug out to repair. Service was fairly prompt in correcting these issues. Even still, water pressure is just so-so.
Lots of OTA television channels from both Cincinnati and Dayton, fair 4GLTE signal on ATT.
Sites are large and are asphalt paved for the parking area. There's a large open field in the interior of the FHU site section C, that's used by campers throwing footballs, playing soccer, etc. Overall, it's a pretty quiet campground (or, it was this weekend), and most of the campers/rvs there are pretty nice. Nobody was camping out of the back of a box truck.
The shower houses were awful the first time we went there a couple years ago, but the state did some upgrades/updating to them, according to the DNR website. We didn't use them this time, so I can't say if they did or didn't work on them.
The lake is nice (I caught a nice catfish ;-), but requires driving from the campground (unless you're a VERY ambitious hiker). The camp store is large and well stocked, interior roads in the park are wide and easily navigable. There are marinas for boat rentals in the area. Brookville is sort of a quaint old town, just a few miles away. Metamora was formerly a very touristy little village about 20 minutes away, but it has deteriorated over the last decade.
Mounds is one of the few state parks in Indiana that has full hookup sites and paved pads. For that reason, we do like it, but $40 is too much, really, so that rates it only a 'satisfactory' for us, in terms of value. - fastalker64

We visited the Mounds SRA full hook up loop. Was very easy to access our spot even when crowded. No issues at all and the lot size was very nice and level. Every DNR employee we met was very friendly and helpful. The camp store is very well stocked with just about everything you could think of and reasonably priced. The boat ramp is very close and the beach was not a far drive. - Stan3718

This is a nice park with all sites paved and all roads paved as well. Again, be aware most Indiana state parks don't have water or sewer available at the sites, and this one was no exception. However, there are plenty of water filling stations throughout the park. Real negative about this park is the dump stations. They have only one station with two pipes. You will wait a while on a Sunday with only having one station. They really need to add more. We stayed in the B loop site 116. Nice site tucked into the woods. They are attempting to grow grass on this site, and had hay down. This is probably a hard task with all of the tree cover and constant foot traffic in and around the site. Stay away from Loop A if you have a larger rig (20+ft) as it is super tight and all the perimeter sites are best suited for pop ups. The interior sites are not quite as shady, but still have big trees. The C loop has some nice sites, but be aware that many of those perimeter sites have a large sloping driveway and would be difficult for a larger trailer to get level. I believe the tongue of the trailer would be on the ground and the back of the trailer a good 3-4 ft high in the rear. It was a holiday weekend so it was very busy, but not overwhelming. The bathhouses are older, but seem to be cleaned a few times a day. The pool is nice. They have a huge lake and multiple playgrounds in and around the park. We will stay here again I am sure, just wishing the state would pony up and install water at all of the sites. AT&T wireless has 5 bars and Verizon has 3 bars. Beware that some of the sites will not have access to the southern sky due to trees. Site 166, however, faced Southwest and made it easy to find Directv satellites. One more thing, they charge $7.00 to enter the park, not included in your paid camping fees, and the pool is $3.00 per day to use it as well. The pool is a good 5 min drive from the campground. - jmcmanama

This park has very shady sites as well as some that are out in a field. Unfortunately, the shady sites that we liked are very low compared to the surrounding ground and fill up with water during a heavy rain and thus stay muddy. We stayed in the B loop and enjoyed our stay minus the mud. The A campground is super tight on all the perimeter sites and are best suited for pop ups. The interior sites are not quite as shady, but still have big trees. C loop was not really that appealing to us. Too much out in the open. This place was full to the gills and had kids and adults on bikes all over the place, so much so it was hard for my four year old to even try to ride his little bike. That's not necessarily a bad thing I guess, but if you don't have kids you may not like this. No water at each site either, but random hookups throughout are conveniently located. We would return but not until the summer crowd is gone. The lake and surrounding area is beautiful - 6.7 towrig

Quakertown SRA is a wonderful campground. Lots of level and grassy sites. Many shaded sites. Close to Quakertown Marina, where you can rent pontoon boats on Brookville Lake. They have a beach, but there were many geese at the beach. This campground is in the middle of no where. There is a store right outside of the park to purchase essentials and they have hot pizza, if you need a break from cooking. The campground is paved and has blacktop pads, with a big picnic table and fire ring. As in most of Indiana state parks no water hookups. If you choose to camp here I would camp close to the one and only comfort station, as the throne pit toilets don't do much for me. This is always a quiet campground. If you have little one's take them to the marina and get some dog food to feed the fish. - theschuettes

I would not recommend this park for motorhomes longer than 38ft. They have placed boulders and light poles on the corners of the site making it difficult to maneuver in and out. Our pad had the sewer drain in the middle of the pad so I had to crawl under the coach to connect. Electric and water were on the wrong side. Very narrow gravel parking area because of the patio and hookups. Many residents work, so you have traffic noise early in the morning. Owners are slowly making improvements. - Westside

Very peaceful. Park is about 30 years old so was a tight fit for our 45 foot motorhome. Owners are working on upgrading the sites. Everyone was very friendly. Not much in the way of entertainment for kids unless they like to fish or bring their own things to do. Nice state parks within an hours drive. Would stay again. - David and Debbie

Thorntree Lake campground is a very peaceful, quiet place, with long pull throughs and gravel sites. Each site has a cement patio and fire ring.

We stayed there for several months this summer and will definitely return. - User2306

Overall very good stay. Staff was very helpful but seemed overwhelmed at times due to it being very busy. Strange layout for a GG. You need to be pretty good at maneuvering your rig for some spots. All roads were gravel and smooth. No paved spaces. A good portion of the roads are through wooded sections where some small branches will contact your rig. Be sure you have at least 30 feet of power cord and water hose available. Many sites have a single pole with 4 water and 4 elect connections in the center with four campers parked in a square around the utility pod. Not many 50 amp spaces avail. I think about half the spots were seasonal rigs that never move. It seems that 95% of the sites were families with kids but from what we observed people were friendly and just there to enjoy the outdoors, hang out with friends and swim in the quarry. Several families had dogs but all were leashed and everyone seemed to pick up after themselves. No trash cans. You must take bagged trash to dumpsters. This seems like a pain but it there weren't a bunch of bees and no overflowing trashcans with keeps the place looking nice. Overall a very good weekend. Reservations are a must. Oh, not CG fault but be aware that AT&T cellphone coverage is extremely week. - Goodcruisin

Get ready to get nickel and dimed to death. Everything is an additional charge. You have one extra adult, that's an extra $14. You want to swim in the campground's rock quarry, that will cost you $7 per person. You want to bring your golf cart into the campground, that will cost you $10. See what I mean, it adds up very quick, and your $30 a night site turns into a $50+ a night site, and this campground isn't worth $50 a night. Staff isn't overly friendly, and it's hard to tell who works there, because no one wears anything to identify that they are staff. The water has a smell and is tinted a light brown, our hose is stained from the weekend stay there. They don't have the sites marked with gravel or concrete, just grass, and everyone just sets up wherever they want. Most sites don't have sewer.
Rock quarry is nice and clean, and the kids enjoyed the inflatables. The crowd that frequents the campground is a little rough.

Use Exit 25 and you'll be there in a jiff! St. Paul is a cute town that's maybe 1 mile from the campground. We really liked the site that we had right on the Flat Rock River. How convenient fishing right out your front door :)
The park is huge with nice graveled roads to ride your bike on, a very large field in the center of the campground where there were campers and we played frisbee in the sun and watched stars at night. My only hang up was that there was a cost for swimming. The convenience store on site is nice, but it's better to make sure you have all your supplies, or stop at Wal Mart on your way in. They have WiFi, but it wasn't very good. I did have good Verizon reception though. - Beachgrammy53

Whitewater is a very nice state park. The campsites are well maintained; however, the facilities could use a little work. They are usually clean, but need updated, repainted, etc. The lots are of good size with tall, mature shade trees. Most lots are gravel and fairly level. The playgrounds could use updating - some of the play equipment is unsafe for young children. Nice beach, boat dock and ramp, and trails. - Indiana Camping Family 45

Nice campground and OK sites, but wow, the hillbillies are out in this park. I have never seen so many drunk people setting off fireworks in my life. The DNR workers would drive right by the people with their radio so loud at midnight and just wave at them??? It's pretty bad when the police are called on both nights that we were here and people left in an ambulance. I even yelled at one of workers (DNR), that were driving so fast through the CG it put the kids in danger. Not sure if it was drunk fest weekend or what, but beware if you visit here. We will not return. If this CG was better managed it would be a nice park. - 1 camper

I would have given the park 5 stars for cleanliness; however, we used their paddle boats that they advertise is available to residents, and they were filthy. We had to walk back up to the office to get a broom in order to brush off the leaves, dirt, cobwebs, and spiders, before using them. We are self contained, so otherwise it was really nice. We enjoyed walking around the lake. Nice park. - C and K on the Road

Good for an overnight. It's located next to the interstate so it's noisy unless you have good sound insulation. There was also a thunderstorm the night we were there and we had standing water around the door to our rig. That was the only downside. The resident ducks loved being around our motorhome, tho. The transient sites are 80' pull-thrus with hookups near the middle. Sites and internal roads are gravel and level. Water pressure is at 80 psi. No cable but most sites are open to the sky. There are a lot of seasonal and permanent residents here but it looks pretty tidy. Restrooms and showers looked and smelled clean. No off leash dog park. Small playground near the lake. Nice walking trail around the lake. There's also a barbershop in the office. Owners are lovely helpful people. Rate includes a Good Sam discount. Would definitely stay here again. - Flippitti

The campground is in a nice park facility with a great play area for the kids located down by the lake. It is not real close to the campground though.
We also had to purchase an annual county park pass to be able to get in ($10.00).
The reason for the average rating is very few of the sites are level. Many of them are slanting downhill so it is hard to get level.
They could use a little better signage directing those who do not live here to the campground and check in. We drove past it the first time and had to call to find out where to go.
Also, even though they have a maximum camper limit of 6 people and two tents (or one camper unit and one tent) per site there were several that had many more than that, one having at least 18 people in it and one with 4 tents.
Their dump station is also located on a hill making it hard to get completely empty.
It is a very busy park on the weekends with lots of tent campers - 3 to 6 tents per site.
I would recommend this campground in certain areas only and during the week if possible. - prstlkid

This campground is very close to my home, so we camp here pretty regularly. The upper sites are rather hilly, and most of the lower sites are mostly level. There are a few towards the bottom that have a bad slope, though. There is a playground located in the bottom section, as well. The park offers a lot of attractions (a snack bar, water park for little kids, paved bike trails, disc golf, fishing, hiking trails) and the campground features decent sized sites with plenty of shade. The bathrooms and showers have always been clean when we have camped, and the campground is monitored regularly by park rangers who are friendly and not overbearing. We have a pop-up so without a toilet, so we do not have the problem with the dump station that I keep reading about. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet campground with a lot of activities within the park, I would definitely recommend this park. - McLovin Camper

We actually like this campground quite a bit, but it has more to do with overall park than the campground itself. The park has a lot of things to do with a nice lake and and hiking trails along with nice paved bike trails. The campgrounds however leave a bit to be desired. We stayed on site 133 and it was not very level. We had to crank the tongue jack all the way down to get the camper level on this site. The site is gravel but was in pretty good condition. We did like that this site was surrounded by deep woods. The site was adequate but not large. It does seem that the 11:00 PM quiet time was enforced or at least we didn't have any real rowdy neighbors and the campground quieted down pretty quickly. It is true as other have said that you have to go to the boat house at the lake to check in and the park staff were teenagers that were friendly but not too knowledgeable about the actual campgrounds. Also as other have pointed out once in the park the signs to the actual campgrounds are confusing -we missed a turn and wound up having turn around in an almost not big enough parking lot- had our 24' camper been larger, we would have had a heck of a time turning around to make the correct turn. And finally -also as others have mentioned- the dump station is on the wrong side. We didn't pull out until Monday so it wasn't a problem for us. We went down to the boat house parking lot -about a 1/4 mile away- and turned around put the dump on the correct side of the camper, but then you have to pull completely through the campground loop again or do some type of fancy backing to get back on the main access road. Bottom line is we like the overall park a lot, but the campgrounds leave quite a bit for improvement. - campdaddy

School hopping mad over loss of beloved frog statue
A big, green frog with bright pink lipstick and a green plaid skirt with buttons is missing from her perch outside St. Luke School.
The children have noticed.
Students are wondering where the fiberglass statue, named "Cru-Sadie," is and what school officials are doing to find her, St. Luke Principal Karen Beer said Wednesday. The name was inspired by "Crusaders," the nickname of the school's sports teams.
The statue, which stands 8 to 10 feet tall, disappeared from outside the school, 425 E. 38th St., when she was broken off her base at her lower legs sometime Feb. 1 or 2, Erie police said. School officials didn't learn of the disappearance until the evening of Feb. 4, when some students who were attending basketball games noticed it, Beer said.
"A couple of kids earlier in the day noticed part of her legs sticking up through the snow and commented to their parents about it," she said.
Officials called the Erie Bureau of Police and looked for clues to Cru-Sadie's whereabouts. But a little bit of snow had fallen, covering up any footprints, Beer said.
The statue was created as part of the LeapFrog public art project in Erie in 2004. It was later donated to St. Luke School and was repainted, with the school's signature plaid skirt added. Cru-Sadie was placed outside, between the school's front doors and the gym entrance.
"We made it part of our family here," Beer said.
Beer, who was involved in the creation of another LeapFrog statue when she worked at another school in the city, said it would take three or four strong men to break the statue off its base, pick it up and move it. It will take quite a bit to repair Cru-Sadie if the statue is found and returned, she added.
School officials printed fliers alerting the public about the statue's disappearance. The reward for its return is "making 400 kids happy again," a "guilt-free conscience" and a "free trip to heaven," the fliers read.
Anyone with information on the theft or the whereabouts of Cru-Sadie is asked to call Erie police Lt. Ken Merchant at 870-1167.
