Venture into the Disoriented Express this month for a hauntingly good time.
The haunted house, presented by the Aiken Jaycees, opens Oct. 12 in the old CVS building in Kalmia Mall and dares the public to brave the thrills and chills found inside every Friday and Saturday for the rest of the month. The Disoriented Express will also be open Oct. 30 and Halloween night.
This is the second year the Aiken Jaycees have presented the haunted house.
"This year is going to be a lot darker, a lot scarier, a lot bloodier," said Carey Sarka, Jaycees president.
In 2011, the Aiken Jaycees partnered with the Friends of the Aiken Railroad Depot to put together the haunted house, which was full of mazes, tunnels and trains and was staffed by more than 40 volunteer actors and entertainers.
"This year, it's just the Jaycees, and the more success we have, the more we can give back to the community," Sarka said. "We had a great response the first year."
Matinee shows for those interested in a more toned-down, family-friendly experience will be on Saturdays from 4 to 6 p.m.
Volunteers are still needed to staff the haunted house. Interested participants are invited to the CVS building on Saturday at 2 p.m. to learn more. Entrance to the space is available at the back door.
The Disoriented Express is open from 7 to 11 p.m. Oct. 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27, 30 and 31. It is located at 1614 Richland Ave. W.
Tickets are $10 in advance and are available at HIC Warehouse, 1120 Edgefield Highway. Tickets are also available at the door for $12.
Matinee tickets are $5 or five canned goods to be donated to Golden Harvest Food Bank.

Miriam Donohoe: When she turns off lights tonight, brave widow can begin to mourn
Published 31/01/2013 | 17:00
CAROLINE Donohoe will today start the long, lonely process of grieving for her beloved husband, Adrian. The days since the brutal gunning down of the 41-year-old detective garda in cold blood must be a blur. She has been carried through the past week with the support, love and sympathy of an entire nation.
Now that his funeral is over and the initial wave of revulsion at his murder has passed, Caroline will begin to get the space to come to terms with her unbearable loss. Her priority will be her two children, Amy (7) and Niall (6), who have lost an adoring father.
There is nothing that can be said to lessen the burden of Caroline's grief. Words will be of little comfort to her. When her door closes and she switches off her light tonight, and every night for many months and years to come, she will be on her own.
While the hunt for Adrian's killers will continue, the news agenda will move on to the next breaking story, the next tragedy, the next controversy.
Caroline will have to dig very deep in the coming months to remain strong and to cope. But she appears to be an incredibly powerful woman who, despite the horrific personal tragedy that has befallen her, ensured that Adrian's state funeral was not overtaken by pomp and ceremony.
Chief celebrant Fr Michael Cusack said yesterday that Caroline made all of the arrangements and prepared the Mass herself. She was deferred to on every decision that had to be made. And what a beautiful and touching ceremony it was.
Adrian's murder was played out very publicly. He was slain during a robbery of a credit union in his home parish, the first garda to be shot dead on duty since Det Gda Jerry McCabe in Limerick in 1996.
Death should be a private thing, shared among a circle of family and friends. Grieving relatives rarely feel the public spotlight on them, as was the case for Caroline this week. The public has owned this story. There were 4,000 at his funeral yesterday, the mourners including Taoiseach Enda Kenny and President Michael D Higgins. Thousands more attended the wake in Adrian's home.
Caroline can draw strength and inspiration from Jerry McCabe's widow, Ann, who has always remained dignified and strong in the face of her loss. It was touching that she signed the book of condolence for Adrian, and I suspect she will meet Caroline in the near future to offer her comfort and support.
While she never publicly uttered words of bitterness or hatred towards her husband's killers, Ann McCabe did draw some comfort from the fact that they were convicted. After their sentencing, she said she and her family were free to be able to try to come to terms with their loss. She said it was a matter of pride that her husband's colleagues in Limerick never rested until his killers were brought to justice.
Caroline and two of Adrian's brothers are members of the force, so they will have an intimate knowledge of how the investigation will be run and will be kept up to speed on developments every step of the way.
The fact that the gardai have expressed confidence that they will arrest and bring to justice those responsible for Adrian's murder will provide some solace.
Despite the lonely times ahead, Caroline will have the support of the community, her family, friends and colleagues as long as she needs it.
She has memories that she will forever treasure, and the words of warm tribute that have flowed since his death ringing in her ears.
She will wonder about the element of fate that had her husband outside Lordship Credit Union in Co Louth when the armed robbers struck, even though he wasn't rostered to work that shift.
As a fellow garda, she will know that there was always a risk and danger with the job. But you never think the day will come when life is whipped away at the hands of callous thugs with no respect for human life.
Caroline will be identified in the months ahead as the widow of the latest member of the Garda Siochana to pay the ultimate price. Something tells me she will carry on and display the same sort of courage we have witnessed from her already.
My own mother was widowed at the young age of 42 when she was eight months pregnant with her 10th child. An inspiring and strong woman, she reared all her children and built a business at the same time. She is often asked how she did it. Her answer is always the same. "I had no choice. I had to get on with things."
Even though the road ahead will be rough, I suspect Caroline Donohoe will also get on with things, her two children foremost in her mind.
The thoughts of the country will be with her.

Rap Beats for Sale - Instrumentals and Backing Tracks
If you are seeking rap beats for sale, then you have come to the right place. Producers, rappers and artists alike have come to know Beats for Days as their solid, consistent marketplace for beats and instrumentals. Our beats are produced with the most high end mix in mind, as our producers spend hours perfecting each download for you, the end user.
Music tracks, songs, rhythms and pop music productions require a solid backup beat, which is what we strive to provide. When in the studio producing a new song, the artist may find themselves asking, where is the inspiration, the liveliness of the sound to bring out the best performance? This is invariably because the instrumental backup track may not have been mixed and produced with the proper sparkle. Our creative engineers work hard to put the sparkle in every track - just listen, it's evident from the music itself! It's hard not to tap your feet once that beat drops.
When producing our beats we look at a lot of different music genres -- and they all require a slightly different approach to the sound. For example, in a dirty south rap beat we're often looking for the low down bass feel that almost literally vibrates the floor. This is the kind of beat that you hear driving down the street playing out of a car stereo with the low end almost blowing up the speakers and vibrating everything around it as it moves on down the road. This takes a particular kind of sound design to result in the timbre associated with the dirty south bass.
On the other hand we also work with funk music and RnB style beats. Funk beats usually require a kick drum that is a little more punchy, a bit more thump and less low end vibration. That's just because Funk Music is a whole different style and sound than the various types of hip hop - funk comes out of the seventies and as such, is more of a "bump city" kind of style as opposed to the lowdown dirty south rap beat.
Get Free Beats DeliveredLet us send you three free beats to build songs with. Just let us know where to email the links to, and our automated system will instantly email you the link.
We value your privacy and would never spam you
RnB beats can be a combination of either rap style sound design or punchy funk beats, with a soul music flair and plenty of lushness of sound. We often describe our RnB beats as being of a "quiet storm" sound. You might find that funky rhythmic bass drum and a deep, soulful string section or fender rhodes piano. Or you might hear it filled out with lots of spacy synthesizers - it really depends on the song or beat itself.
Rock beats can be a lot of fun because they are hard driving rhythms that usually have a fairly dry drum set and electric guitar sounds throughout as well as an electric bass. Believe it or not, rock beats can be used for rap music - if you don't believe me, just check out the "Walk This Way" collaboration between Run DMC and Aerosmith!
If you want to do gangsta rap, that's ok -- it's a lot like dirty south (in fact it might be dirty south) -- the whole thing with gangsta rap is just that you gotta be kinda psycho to be rappin about killin people and so on 🙂 but whatever turns you on. We like Rick Ross and he's a great example of gangsta rap, so we listen to a lot of his tracks, among others, for our inspirations. Gansta rap is ok with us.
California type rap beats for sale are very cool too -- like freestyle or just regular rap music. There are a lot of rhythms for hip hop music and all kinds of ways to approach it - we believe that, while the traditional sounds of beats are all very cool, what can be even more interesting is to apply vocal rap style on top of beats and music tracks of an entirely different style that you might not even have expected there to be rap music with. In this way you can break out of the mold of the so-called "typical" rapper and break new ground with new sounds and new approaches to music production and songwriting.
Our producers come from a long history of making funk, RnB, Soul, hip hop and rap beats for sale, from their long history working the studios of Detroit Michigan, in the heart of Motown. All our engineers, sound designers and beat constructors carry a tradition of making the best music, the best beats for rap music, the best tracks for RnB songs and funk music. To put it bluntly, "we got soul." It's evident - just listen to our tracks!
So if you are searching for rap beats for sale, this should be your last stop - stick around Beats for Days for a while, and enjoy the tracks, and take advantage of our amazingly low priced quality music tracks for your home studio or professional song productions. You'll be glad you did!

Eagerly awaiting my pre-order delivery from Amazon today, but I just have to know! It's been out in Japan for a few months now, so somebody has to know, right? I tried searching online for info on this, but found nothing. I know it's most likely in the game (what would an EDF be without the gun to end all guns, after all?), but I just want confirmation.

I heard they wanted to but it was to much for the game to handle to they had to leave it out. But maybe there's some other awesome guns to make up for it
I play PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation Vita ::Psn:: Ninebreaker87 ::XBL:: iininebreakerii ::Steam:: Ninebreaker87
I can't see it in the weapons list.. maybe it's just not listed though?
You can use translate on that (i'm using google chrome so it automatically translates it)
The translations are a little off.. unless one of the Air Raider weapon categories is actually called "Rim Pet Cancer" lol

Damn...I really hope that's not true. That would be a real letdown if it were. The Genocide Gun is one of the greatest endgame rewards in all video games, imo. Moreso than all the other weapon drops, it really made the EDF grind worth it.

Yeah, I hope it's in the game, but is just unlisted.
Well, I guess we in the west will find out if it exists soon enough, once we beat Inferno or max out classes...whichever one might unlock the gun (if it exists).
Thanks for the comments, folks!

There is no end game reward other than the achievement/trophy pop. No Genocide Guns.
Aw, just checked back here and no love for the funny google chrome translation..
"Rim Pet Cancer"
No GG. It was tested in development, caused too many problems with the frame rate and was cut. Which makes PERFECT sense in 2014, as you can't be counting frames in a game like this when other shooters play smoothly. The "quaint" days of the old EDF are kind of over, but 2025 is still a ton of cheesy fun without that weapon.
"It's just a jump to the left..."
Thanks for all the replies, everyone; much appreciated. It sucks that the GG isn't in the game, but I'm enjoying it so far anyway. :)

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly. They talked about the collaboration in advance of their show Friday night at Summerfest. »Read Full Article

AT THE END OF a very long line at the Moorestown Mall stood Barbara McCabe, who by her own count has been a Phillies fan for 60 years. She had come out on this Saturday to get an up-close look at the 2008 World Series Trophy and held in her hand the last remaining ticket the club distributed, which would entitle her and her companion to stand with the shimmering award and have their photo snapped. Given the size of the crowd that was ahead of her, it looked like it was shaping up to a wait of an hour or more.
But who cared?

Many of us are making resolutions to eat less, exercise more, call our parents on Sundays, get more organized and achieve any number of other positive goals in the new year. In this season of setting resolutions, we ask you to consider sponsoring a child in 2013; don't let another year slip past.
Five-year-old Felipe, who lives near the town of Diamantina, Brazil, doesn't have access to clean water or enough food. With a $28-a-month sponsorship, you can help children like Felipe live healthier and more stable lives.
Starting this week and running through the middle of January, ChildFund International is working to build our number of sponsors through a New Year's resolution campaign.
Also of note: Sponsoring a child takes less work than going to the gym five days a week. "There's always a tendency for people to resolve to eat less or exercise more," ChildFund's digital marketing director Timo Selvaraj says, "or to say, 'Next year I'm going to make a difference.' Let's not allow 365 days to go by. It's a simple message."
To sponsor a child, please visit our website. It's a great way to start 2013.

When I sat down with Alan Sader, ChildFund's TV spokesperson, I'll admit I was a tad star struck. When I was younger, I'd seen him on countless commercials—sitting on a stoop in a developing country, arm wrapped gently around a small child. His posture was strong, his voice was both kind and commanding and his message was always clear – by giving a little each month, I had the opportunity to help change a child's life.
For the last 20 years, Sader has spoken on behalf of children around the world. By sharing their stories and encouraging a U.S. audience to become sponsors, Sader has helped many children escape poverty. In our conversation, he recalled several trips to ChildFund program areas and shared how each child he meets reminds him why his work is so important.
"I do plays, I do commercials for lawyers and furniture stores and that's great for providing food for my family but there is a legacy involved in this work [with ChildFund]," he says. "Making the lives of children better is the most important and rewarding work I can ever do. There are a lot of children whose lives have been changed because of this and I am happy talking to people about that."
In 1993, one year after his first appearance in a ChildFund commercial, Sader traveled to Kenya to work on a second TV spot. He met numerous children whose stories he would share with the world but one child in particular helped reaffirm his decision to work as ChildFund's spokesperson.
"At the time, my youngest daughter was 6-weeks old," he says. "During this particular trip, they placed a small child in my arms. I can remember thinking, a baby feels like a baby and that baby felt like my baby; and I knew they had the same needs. It felt so good to communicate that need to the camera, to share that with whoever could see the commercial and encourage them to react by helping a child."
Although Sader realized that all children around the world had the same basic needs, he was exposed to a level of poverty unlike anything he had seen in the U.S. "There was a shocking quality of poverty in these places. I saw communities where entire families lived in shacks made of tin and paper to keep the weather out," he says. "I had never seen up close and personal poverty. Although I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, and I knew that my family came from poor mountain folk on my mother's side, I don't think my people were ever starving, malnourished or lived in places where it was dangerous to drink the water."
He explains that his firsthand experiences in some of the most impoverished countries have been humbling and serve as a continuous reminder to help those who are less fortunate. So he has taken his own message to heart. Since 1992, Sader has sponsored two children through ChildFund – a girl from Brazil and a boy from Kenya. Both youth are approaching an age where they will complete ChildFund's program, but Sader knows his support will have a long-lasting effect.
"I've met them both," he says. "The young woman has special needs but is able to do things that make her feel included and worthwhile – when I hear from her (most letters come from her family), she is very happy. And Arnold started a business at a young age because he was able to buy rabbits using a monetary gift I sent him – so he tells me about his rabbits in his letters. I keep in touch with his father as well."
Parents, especially mothers, play an important role in the communities Sader has visited. "ChildFund projects depend on the involvement of the local people," he says. "I've seen them involve the whole community. It is amazing to see the mothers cook, clean, and make money at the markets and then volunteer to help their children have a better life."
It's this behind-the-scenes perspective that has motivated Sader to continue his role as ChildFund's TV spokesperson. "I am continually impressed by this organization," he says. "ChildFund is not run by some expert sitting back making all the decisions. It is a collaborative effort between the country, who knows what is best for their people and folks who want to help here at the home office."
Home is Richmond, Va., to both ChildFund and Sader. And when he's not dropping into headquarters to plan his next filming schedule, you can find him doing what he does best. "I've been acting since I was a child," he says. "It wasn't until much later I decided to make a career of it."
Sader is well known in Richmond theater circles. Last year he played King Lear, a role that won him best actor from Richmond Critics' Circle and also played the role of Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. His latest work was on the motion picture, Lincoln, directed by Steven Spielberg
"I will continue to do theater and movies as opportunities present themselves," he says. "And I hope to continue to do commercials and represent ChildFund as well. My wife is an artist, my oldest daughter is married and my youngest is a junior at Virginia Tech – so life is good."
I expected to hear nothing less from a man who uses his talents to change lives around the world.

The day was coming to an end, and our last home visit was accessible only through one of the many narrow and dark alleys that crisscross the favela (urban slum) on the edge of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Above me, though, a young girl leaned out a window, grinned, and rushed to open the door. As we entered, she held up her finger to ask us to wait one minute, ran up the winding stairs to the upper floor, and returned with a pink, plastic toy computer. She smiled at us again and said proudly, "Netbook!"
While deploying technology pilots over the past two months in Dominica, Zambia and Brazil, it has become clear that technology has a universal appeal. The appeal, though, is strongest among the children.
Staff from ChildFund International and ChildFund Brazil spent a week in Villa Ventosa, a village in the Nova Barroca neighborhood to continue the mobile application tests that began in the Caribbean in April. We worked with our affiliated partner, GEDAM (Grupo de Educação Desenvolvimento e Apoio ao Menor), to evaluate an Android application created at our headquarters and loaded onto tablet computers. The app synchronizes existing child data acquired during a home visit with geospatial information so that we can better analyze geographic patterns among our enrolled and sponsored children. This data is then combined with a photograph of the child's letter to his or her sponsor, which was captured with the tablet's built-in camera and sent to a database in Richmond, Va. In the future, this image will be queued into a translation database accessible to our translators around the world.
In Brazil, GEDAM currently implements programs for approximately 500 ChildFund sponsored children. During the pilot, the team, consisting of representatives from ChildFund International, the Brazil office and GEDAM, set a goal of reaching about 20 children over three days in the field. Each day was split into morning and afternoon home visits where the two teams walked the dense neighborhood amid stray dogs and hollow clay brick houses with corrugated roofs that extended beyond the horizon.
The participating community mobilizers were immediately excited by the potential impact these devices could have on their work. Their day is often filled with administrative tasks that, if streamlined, would give way to more child-centered programming and an improved child/sponsor experience. As seen during previous pilot tests, the mobilizers came up with multiple ways in which properly focused technology could advance ChildFund's mission. These insights will guide future applications and ChildFund's broader mobile platform strategy.
Every child we met during a home visit seemed drawn to the tablet. Some intuitively reached for the glass surface and used the standard gestural commands to interact with the device. Some simply smiled when they realized that this home visit was different, and they were participating in a unique experience.
One thing became immediately clear: although we consider our work in mobile technology to be innovative, the children are the true innovators. It comes natural to them.
On the way out of her house after we captured an image of the letter she had just handwritten, a teenage sponsored child turned to the team and said, "Next time, give me the tablet and I'll type the letter directly to my sponsor."

Spring fashion week in Minas Gerais, Brazil, took on an added dimension this year with the much-anticipated release of a T-shirt designed by Victor Dzenk. Proceeds from sales of the shirt will benefit children in ChildFund programs.
More than 200 journalists, designers and fashion followers turned out to preview the noted Brazilian designer's 2013 summer collection. The show included the release of the special T-shirt. Internationally known for his avant-garde prints, Dzenk is also focused on social responsibility.
"Last year in Rio de Janeiro, we created a T-shirt for the breast cancer foundation with a pink bow. It was beautiful and a great success! We want to repeat [that success] working with children from ChildFund Brasil," he said. "ChildFund Brasil is a serious and respected organization. It is very gratifying to add beauty and an art project."
Celebrities such as fashion consultant Gloria Kalil and members of the national and world press became acquainted with ChildFund's mission, while snapping up the designer shirts. Fashion model and blogger Cris Guerra shared with the audience her experience of nearly 10 years as a ChildFund sponsor. Her stories about Fernando, her sponsored child, touched everyone.
The event also featured a special exhibit of photos taken by photographer Luíza Villarroel and students in the ChildFund-supported Photovoice project. A few days before the fashion show, the students had the incredible opportunity of photographing Guerra—sporting the Dzenk T-shirt—in their own community of Sierra Cluster.
Seeming unaffected by the glamor of the moment, the student photographers lost no time in determining the shots they needed and then capturing street scenes with Cris as their focal point.
The Photovoice project teaches children and youth how to use photos, videos and other communication techniques to express their views and their voices. The 2012 workshops are focusing on social identity as revealed through self-portraits and portraits of community residents—capturing life histories, recording the daily life of students and exchanging "looks" and experiences.

During January's 31 days, we've made a blog stop in all 31 countries where we serve children, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donors. On our final day, we meet Wagner Oliveira, an accomplished teacher who attributes his success to sponsorship and ChildFund Brasil.
From the age of 4 until age 20, Wagner Oliveira was enrolled in ChildFund Brasil's Projeto União. "Today, I have a broader vision of the world, and I owe this to the project," he says. "Here is where I started. The project contributed to my formation because it encouraged me to study…. "I learned to value my friends and interact with people."
Now 37, Wagner teaches at several schools in the city of Fortaleza/Ceara, Brazil. "If I grew up with education, I must give education," he says. He counsels children to grab hold of education and do their best to overcome adversity. "You're much stronger than you think," he advises young people. "You have no idea how strong you are. Be stronger than your problems."
Wagner also has a message for ChildFund sponsors: "You have the privilege of being part of the group that will build a better future."

Today marks ChildFund Brazil's nationwide celebration of Sponsor's Day — a day filled with special meaning for the many sponsors and currently or formerly sponsored children who have been touched by ChildFund's programs in Brazil. Thanks to the expansion of ChildFund's presence around the country, thousands of children now have the opportunity to improve their lives.
That expansion is partly because people from all walks of life are celebrating the day by spreading the word that sponsoring a child is one of the best investments anyone can make.
Well-known blogger Cris Guerra is one of them. She has been sponsoring a child through ChildFund for nine years. "It's awesome and very easy to be a sponsor for a child," Guerra says. "I had the opportunity to travel to the town of the child I sponsor and to meet him face-to-face. His mother came toward me crying, thankful that I'd been the sponsor of her son. The hug of that child, and also learning a little more of his life history, provoked an emotion that I can't describe. At the moment that I met them personally, I had an idea of the help that I am bringing to that family. Being a sponsor makes a difference."
That's true for 11-year-old sponsored child Robert, who lives near Belo Horizonte. "I take part in computer, sport, [drawing] and dance classes," he says. "It's very rewarding because it keeps me busy and off the streets."
Robert's mother, Vicentina, is sure that without ChildFund's support his life would be tougher. "I do hemodialysis three times a week," she says, "and on those days I know I can go to the treatment lighthearted, because my son is benefiting from ChildFund's program activities."
Zé Teixeira, a 46-year-old father of two, is proud of having been a sponsored child in the past. He was one of eight brothers. "Things could have been much worse for us," he says, "but some of my brothers and I had the privilege of taking part in ChildFund's programs, which improved our living conditions."
Nowadays, Teixeira is a musician, a music producer and civil servant. Last month his own mother had the joy of being in a position to support a child enrolled in the ChildFund project. "ChildFund's work is essential because it fills the gap of socio-economic discrepancy, rescuing marginalized families," she says.
ChildFund's national director for Brazil, Gerson Pacheco, speaks to the benefits of the sponsorship relationship itself. "Many stories and different lifestyles are shared, and experiences, advice and encouragement are exchanged," he says. "The sponsor has the opportunity of both contributing to and following his sponsored child's development. When donating a small amount, a citizen supports social projects that benefit children, families and communities. And the effect is reciprocal."
To Ana Maria Carvalho, having the opportunity to help a child is wonderful. "It has been about one year that I have sponsored a 6-year-old child," she says. "I'd been influenced by my daughter to sponsor this child, and today I see how important my contribution is. I encourage all Brazilians who have means to help to take part in helping, and contact ChildFund and sign up."
The Cantinho dos Sonhos program in Brazil is not only helping children in rural communities learn to read, it's also helping them discover their dreams.

Editor's note: Today Nicole concludes her three-part blog series on her visit to a ChildFund project in a Brazilian favela.
If I thought the streets were steep and winding when driving to Conselho de Pais Crianca Feliz in the Belo Horizonte favela, it was certainly confirmed as we walked to families' homes. Without exaggeration, I can say we walked up near vertical hills, over paved and dirt roads, down crumbling alleys and through overgrown yards. And that is just a fraction of what our community mobilizers (volunteers) do on any average day. They didn't spare us the details or the terrain as we literally walked many miles — if not in their shoes then at least along the same paths.
Our guide was Ziza, a community mobilizer who has volunteered with the organization since November 2000. She goes house to house visiting families to raise awareness about specific ChildFund programs and children's overall health and well-being. As the mother of a 13-year-old son, Ziza is not shy about broaching the topic of child violence, both within the home and within the community at large. Over the 10 years she has spent volunteering with ChildFund, Ziza has earned a reputation in the community for being a problem solver and a great humanitarian.
In fact, she has taken on the personal responsibility of helping raise 13 nieces and nephews. They live with her in her small three-bedroom house — a house with mud-and-stick brick walls and a cement floor. Several of the children share her bed. The most recent to join her is only 3 weeks old. When asked about the heavy burden she has taken on, her response was simple: "I believe greatly in what I do. I don't see problems, I see future solutions."
Walking with her, it became clear that Ziza is an important and valued member in the community. People trust her and we were allowed into homes, down alleys and through areas that we would never pass alone. But with her, there was a calm presence and an unspoken respect.
Along the route I chatted with several children:
We made our way back to the center (slowly — those hills are rough!) and checked in on their systems, processes and audit reports. Yet we kept thinking about the children, families and community because, much like the hokey-pokey, that's what it's all about.
by Nicole Duciaume, Regional Sponsorship Coordinator, Americas Regional Office
Within the secure walls of Conselho de Pais Crianca Feliz, one of ChildFund's partners in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, we first encountered a group of children (age 8 to 12) sitting in a circle engaged in a singing challenge. The teacher would call out a word with a positive association (e.g., house, heart, love, smart), and the children would try to recall a popular song featuring that word. Then the children would try to come up with obscure words to challenge the teacher: "Do you know a song with the word centimeter?" There was much laughter and many smiles, but more important was the message around encouraging creativity, self-expression and positive images.
We popped into a classroom of 5-year-olds learning to color and spell words. The children looked within a drawing of a pineapple for letters to spell their own names. I took the opportunity to ask them what other fruits they like to eat. We had a great debate on what the best fruit was, but then they said that they only get fruit at the center, not in their homes. We also saw students learning to make frogs with construction paper and cotton balls. We talked about other things that are green and, of course, we hopped around just a bit.
Back outside, we headed upstairs for the official presentation of demographics, statistics, budgets and proposals. But along the way we sat in on a capoeira class. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial arts dance that has its roots in the slave identity and rebellions of Brazil. Though two people enter into the circle to "fight" each other, the goal is actually to never touch. The dance is a great source of cultural restoration and conflict resolution. I chatted with Mateus, age 10, and he told me that he "came to learn capoeira, but I've learned so much more." He specifically likes the music sessions with traditional beats but with lyrics that emphasize math and literacy (a nice way to insert learning into any opportunity). Through the class he says he has learned "to defend myself, but never hurt people" and that his "African heritage is important to know and respect for [myself] and for my country."
During the presentation by the staff, we learned that the favela has the highest population density in the state — almost 50,000 inhabitants. ChildFund's partner is here to be a positive influence: to be role models, build awareness, develop skills and create hope. The staff realizes that they cannot make the decisions for the families, but they fight hard for children and, for the most part, the families recognize the work and want their children to attend center activities.
We also learned that local gangs see Conselho de Pais Crianca Feliz as a positive force. When violence is about to break out, the gangs often inform the staff ahead of time to make sure the children stay home. Yet our partner organization also knows that drug traffickers begin to recruit children as young as 9 years old. So it is a difficult balance to find — an uneasy peace. The staff must work within community realities, yet remain focused on the well-being of children and youth, making programming decisions and setting priorities.
We packed up and headed out into the community.
Up next, I'll tell you more about our time walking through the favela.
by Nicole Duciaume, Regional Sponsorship Coordinator, Americas Regional Office
I moved to Brazil when I was 13 years old. The four years I spent there categorically shaped my adolescence and my life. In past years I have returned several times to study, work, volunteer and just to visit old friends. Brazil is a part of my identity, personality and the foundation for my passion for working with ChildFund.
Earlier this month, I visited our offices in Belo Horizonte while attending a ChildFund Alliance conference to discuss opportunities to make child sponsorship more efficient (faster, less costly) and effective (more developmentally rewarding for children and more engaging for our sponsors). Our long discussions and debates will benefit the organization in the coming years.
Yet the best day for me was when we visited ChildFund communities. It reconnects me to my job and our organizational purpose, to the children and the families who endure harsh realities and to our partner organizations' programs that aim to empower, inspire and evolve. A day in the community has no equal.
Conference attendees divided into three groups for site visits. Mine went to a nearby favela — an urban hillside slum. It was maybe only 10 kilometers (six miles) from our hotel, but it was the epicenter of urban social exclusion. We drove slowly up winding paths and around tight corners, passing day laborers scattered in the streets painting bricks, stacking rocks and collecting recyclable materials to sell for small change.
There is no land for urban sprawl, so favela dwellers build higher and higher, making their shanties increasingly susceptible to landslides. We saw "rat nests" of wires carrying electricity but no sewage drainage systems. We saw broken glass strewn in the streets, making the roads appear iridescent, and larger razor-sharp shards atop walls to deter thieves. And there was garbage of every shape and color. The city of Belo Horizonte, with its parks and high-rises, sprawled out below — completely within view but seemingly a world apart.
As we navigated toward our destination, we discussed the realities of sexual abuse, violence, gangs and drug trafficking that favela children confront daily. We talked about their alternating fears of either police absence or police corruption. We noted how all of these factors impact the lives of children, including their identities within their own families. We discussed what it means to be a member of a community rather than merely an inhabitant, and what the future would hold for these children without support from family, community and organizations.
Then we spotted brightly colored walls…a place for children. We had arrived at Conselho de Pais Crianca Feliz, ChildFund's partner organization that supports nearly 2,000 children and teens from some 700 families in the area. They offer formal and informal education programs, computer classes, sports, arts (dance, music, crafts), and professional skills development. They work closely with community members to involve them in identifying the root causes of poverty in the area and then setting priorities, planning activities and evaluating the results. They also develop the capacities of volunteers and community leaders.
More tomorrow about what we discovered behind the center door.

Home is the sweetest of words for Abraham "Avi" Gonen and his wife, Raya. Both have known the displacement of the Nazi Holocaust as children of Jewish survivors who grew up with a deep understanding of what Judaism had cost their parents.
As Jews around the world prepare for the Jewish New Year, which begins at sundown on Sunday, the Cherry Hill couple sat in their sun-splashed family room and remembered other times.
The survival of Raya Gonen's Lithuanian mother was thanks to a brave Christian family in that war-torn country who sheltered the Jewish teenager. Posing as a Catholic girl, complete with a cross around her neck, she spent five years in the same home where several Nazi soldiers had forced their way in, but never learned of her true identity.

Residents up in arms after council hires contractors to mow fake grass
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- October 02, 2012
A LOCAL council crew has become a social media sensation after it was exposed using a lawnmower on fake grass.
The Townsville City Council crew was this week photographed by motorists mowing artificial grass on a median strip, the Townsville Bulletin reports
The images sparked an angry response on social media, with residents arguing it was proof the council was wasting ratepayers' money.
When the matter was raised with the council, a spokeswoman said the contractors were not mowing the grass.
Rather the crew were cleaning the fake turf to remove cigarette butts following a request by a local, she said.
''The actual contractors who have done that work, they didn't give us the heads-up they were going to be using a mower," the spokeswoman said.
"There has been a major problem there with people littering and throwing their cigarette butts out.
"So they're not actually mowing grass, as much as people would have laughed and pointed it out, they were using it as a vacuum to suck up the butts."
A staff member from the nearby Supercheap Auto Hermit Park said the clean-up crew had supplied many belly laughs for colleagues and customers.
"We've all been getting a great laugh out of it," she said.
"They've been doing it a couple of times."
The council spokeswoman said the clean-up crew had been asked to consider other options when it came to cleaning the artificial grass.
"It does look ridiculous," she said.

Bayer Schering Pharma has obtained access to five cancer-related targets from Celera for therapeutic development and in vivo diagnostic imaging. Celera retains in vitro diagnostic rights and will be able to develop and commercialize related companion diagnostics for candidates arising from Bayer Schering Pharma's program.
The therapeutic targets licensed under this exclusive agreement are reportedly over expressed on the surface of several different tumor cell types. They were found with Celera's proteomics discovery platform.
Bayer Schering Pharma will pay Celera an up-front fee, and additional payments are due upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestones. Upon commercialization of a product, Celera is entitled to royalties based on net sales.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

A Day for Detroit: U.S. critics celebrate an imperiled art collection
People do not give works of art to museums. Donors of great works of art give their treasurers to the cities they love, to the school children on yellow buses, the couples on dates, the artists and would-be artists, the seniors on a Sunday afternoon.
In a very real sense, the art in our museums belongs to us. It is a public trust. This simple truth is at the core of a foundational ethic within the museum world that prohibits museums from selling works of art to pay off debts. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

During the 2014 Open Education Week, the Karisma Foundation, together with UNESCO and Creative Commons, will launch the report titled "Public Expenditure on Education in Latin America: can it serve the purpose of the Paris Open Education Resources Declaration?"
UNESCO Montevideo, Regional Office for Science in Latin America and the Caribbean commissioned the Karisma Foundation to write The Public Expenditure on Education in Latin America report, which will be published under a free Creative Commons license. The paper seeks to identify and analyze the public investment and expenditure reported by five Latin American governments for developing and procuring school textbooks, as well as digital content for primary and secondary school (K-12).
Education is the pillar that underlies countries social and economic development. It is a right recognized by the major international human rights instruments, as well as by the national constitutions and laws of the five countries analyzed in this report, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. It is clear that these countries have taken positive steps towards meeting their international obligations, however, there is also strong evidence that there is still room for further improvements.
Unfortunately, digital technology is not an integral part of the education systems in many Latin American countries. Despite efforts to promote the educational use of information technology in the region, there has been more emphasis placed on issues related to enrollment. Therefore, the state of education has not been strengthened by the opportunities to promote the appropriation of technologies.
During the last decade, there has been rapid advancement in technologies that make it extremely easy for people to create and share materials that is out of alignment with copyright laws. The development of open licensing and Open Educational Resources (OER) helps address this gap, by changing and questioning the current paradigm. According to the UNESCO Paris OER Declaration (2012), these resources include any teaching, learning or research material in the public domain or published with an open license to be used, adapted and distributed free of charge.
We believe it is paramount to use Open Education Week 2014 to raise awareness about the opportunities in teaching and learning throughout the world using OER. During this years Open Eductaion Week celebration, we invite you to take part in a Webinar where there will be a dialogue between stakeholders on issues related to open learning in the region. The Webinar will include discussion with experts such as Carolina Rossini expert in OER, Brazil, Juan Carlos Bernal from the Ministry of Education, Colombia, and Patricia Diaz and Virgina Rodes from Uruguay who are both very active in the OER community.
There will also be a representatives from Creative Commons and UNESCO as well as the group of researchers who participated in the preparation of the Karisma Foundation´s Report "Public Expenditure on Education in Latin America: can it serve the purpose of the Paris Open Education Resources Declaration?"

I was just at the gun store around here this afternoon, and they have a Yugo SKS for $185...now, that being said, I'm not expert in what they should cost.
The dealer at the store acted like $185 was a good price, but what else is he gonna say????????
May 9, 2003, 09:23 PM
In my area that is more than fair.
As for a Yugo at $185.00...unless it is in VG to Excellent condition I'd say they were asking way too much. I've seen some dogs advertised for almost $300.
Good Shooting
May 9, 2003, 10:25 PM
In my neck of the woods $179 was a very good price for excellent condition yugos They were going $250 plus at the gunshows
You'll be hard pressed to find a centerfire semi-auto rifle with 1000 rounds of ammo for less than $350 OTD
$149 for a shooter is worth doing IMHO
Though I remember the days when stores had crates of Chinese SKS's for $89... Shoulda bought a bunch then

Get it while the gettins good! :)
May 10, 2003, 02:11 PM
I'd buy it at $149 unless you have to have a bayonet then get the Yugo. I don't like unchromed bores if I have a choice and the gun's inaccurate anyhow.
May 10, 2003, 08:15 PM
>>I'd buy it at $149 unless you have to have a bayonet then get the Yugo.<<
It has a bayonet and the reason I didn't get was because I question its legality.

Is a Romanian SKS with a hundred rounds that has a perfect bore worth 150?
May 11, 2003, 12:34 AM
Let me put this in perspective: I went to a local gun store today, and looked at some long guns. They had one SKS that I saw, and it was $360. If you find one in good shape for $150, you should probably go for it.
Med 10
May 11, 2003, 02:28 PM
Any Chinese for 150-200 dollars is a good deal nowadays.
I also dont like the un-chromed bores.
part of the the SKS experience is not having to baby it and using it as a beat around rifle, and the chrome bore just makes more sense especially when using questionable ammo.
BTW, My Norinko is plenty accurate out to about 100 yards which is a good practical range for what I use this gun for.
We like to take old cinder blocks and hit them at 200 yrds. man do they explode! :)

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Are the New York Jets all in with Geno Smith?
No doubt, that'll be one of the first questions Tuesday when Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik meet the media for their season-ending news conference. The quarterback position will be the hottest topic of the offseason because it's a multi-layered issue. And because we love quarterback stories.
You already have a player on campus with upside (Smith). You have the possibility of a few big names in the draft (Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel). You have an intriguing young veteran that could be on the trading block (Kirk Cousins). And you have a handful of interesting free agents (Josh McCown and Michael Vick).
Oh, yes, and let's not forget about the resident quarterback in limbo, Mark Sanchez.
Idzik drafted Smith and wants him to succeed. Everybody wants to see him succeed because he's likable and works hard, and because the Jets haven't had a franchise quarterback since Joe Namath. But the Jets have to be careful, because it would be a big mistake to place too much emphasis on the last few games. Even the most experienced GMs sometimes can't tell the difference between a late-season rally and a late-season mirage.
Yes, Smith improved over the final four games, but there were no 300-yard games that blew you away. His cumulative passer rating over that stretch was a modest 83.6. He beat two dead teams, the Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns, before rising up with a terrific game against the Miami Dolphins. He looked so good in those game because his bar had dropped so low. You can't forget about the 21 interceptions.
Let me be clear: Smith deserves a shot at the starting job. The Jets should continue to develop him because there's potential. He started every game and won eight, a fairly impressive feat for a rookie in a new system, surrounded by mediocre skill-position talent.
In short, he didn't do anything to lose the job -- a job, technically, he was never given in the first place. The Jets, playing the semantic game, never anointed him as the starting quarterback.
But now is not the time to stand pat. They need to augment the position. I'd be surprised if Idzik selected a quarterback in the first or second round, one year after investing a second-round pick in Smith, but he should keep an open mind. If he falls in love with a guy, grab him.
How about a veteran acquisition? Yes, the Jets absolutely must consider a competent veteran. They need someone who can start in the event of injury or slump, someone to push Smith. They got away with not having that guy in a rebuilding year, but the expectations will be greater in 2014. The Jets should spend a little extra money for a legit No. 1/No. 2 quarterback, someone willing to accept a backup role.
There's a lot to like about Smith. But you can't build a prosperous marriage on like.
ICYMI: As they cleaned out their lockers, the Jets offered strong support for Smith. ... The Jets are reportedly poised to offer Ryan a one-year contract extension. ... Sheldon Richardson should be the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. So says Sheldon Richardson. ... Kicker Nick Folk is looking for a pay day. ... Ed Reed wants to play another year.

This week's new DVD releases
- "Lee Daniel's The Butler" (PG-13, 2013, 132 minutes)
An ambitious attempt to create a Hollywood-style epic around the experience of black Americans in general and the civil rights movement in particular, "The Butler" undercuts itself by hitting its points squarely on the nose with a 9-pound hammer. Strongly acted by a cast featuring Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey and David Oyelowo, "The Butler" has its share of strong dramatic moments in a story inspired by the real-life career of a White House employee who served eight presidential administrations for a total of 34 years from 1952 to 1986. "The Butler" cheerfully abandons specific reality, with its main characters -- Cecil Gaines (Whitaker), his wife Gloria (Winfrey) and their son Louis (Oyelowo) -- crafted as composites to allow a wide swath of history to fit tidily into one family's tumultuous story. Nevertheless, "The Butler" reveals Daniels' ability to create believable black middle class situations. But hampering "The Butler," is Daniels' tin ear when it comes to white folks.
Extras: Interviews
- "Enough Said" (PG-13, 2013, 93 minutes)
Both James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus reveal sides of themselves not often seen as they play two people from Los Angeles who are drawn to each other but not quite sure how to handle what turn out to be complicated ramifications of the attraction. Louis-Dreyfus plays Eva, a busy masseuse, who cheerfully puts up with the thoughtless foibles of her regular customers: clients who talk too much, smell badly or don't help with the heavy lifting. In her personal life, Eva is a divorced single parent who is nervously preparing for a major change in her day to day situation: Her only child, daughter Ellen (Tracey Fairaway), is about to head across the country to an East Coast college, leaving her very much alone. Eva's best friend is Sarah (the versatile Toni Collette) drags Eva to a party where she meets Albert (Gandolfini), a divorced single dad. As people of a certain age, Eva and Albert are both wary of new relationships, but they bond over empty nest syndrome.
Extras: Interviews, commentary
- "Riddick" (R, 2013, 119 minutes)
"Riddick" is extremely violent, cleverly managed fun -- full of eviscerating aliens, Vin Diesel making those little swimmie-goggles look sharp and Katee Sackhoff of "Battlestar Galactica" swaggering around as a sexually ambiguous bounty hunter stuck with a bunch of guys on a crummy planet. That planet is ruled by the escaped prisoner Riddick, whose story is recapped in the film. This is not one of those Johnny-come-lately sequels preoccupied with getting a new audience up to speed on where the story was. It's about living in the moment, in the now, and killing in the now. "Riddick," who is played by Vin Diesel, opens with a near-wordless sequence set on a hot, scrubby planet.
The first half is more compelling than the second, but "Riddick" makes an entertaining survival-guide virtue of its main character's isolation. The side characters all get their share of profane zingers. The audience comes away sated. Diesel has discovered what it means to be the kind of movie star who works hard, but with style.
Extras: Deleted scenes
- "20 Feet from Stardom" (PG-13, 2013, 90 minutes)
Their voices are powerful enough to tear you apart and put you back together again, and their stories will do the same. But when you call them backup singers, you better smile.
That's because the performers in the infectious and irresistible "20 Feet From Stardom" are willing and able to outsing any solo act in sight and are not shy about letting you know it. Veteran director Morgan Neville ("Troubadours") took the idea offered by the late Gil Friesen, longtime president of A&M Records, and has made a moving and joyous behind-the-scenes documentary about a world filled with big, bold personalities and the music they make. Neville interviewed more than 50 people for this film, including articulate major stars like Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Sting, but the people with the stories and personalities you remember turn out to be the handful of women who made and remade the backup world in their image.
Extras: Back story, interviews
- "Carrie" (R, 2013, 99 minutes)
This horror cult classic based on novelist Stephen King's great girl roar against bullies, body, religion and mom, is back on the big screen with more teen trauma than ever and a new party dress for the prom. Starring an excellent Chlo� Grace Moretz with a truly troubling Julianne Moore as Mama, "Carrie" should have delivered more with the material. Instead, the film has done a remaking rather than a re-imagining. Echoes of the 1976 original, the Brian De Palma-Sissy Spacek-Piper Laurie tirade that first rocked the cradle, abound. This is not to dismiss "Carrie" as a bad movie; it is not. Peirce has made good use of all the new-age technology at her disposal -- more ways to exploit and expose the story's central image of blood and show off Carrie's telekinetic powers. But this "Carrie" is never able to get past De Palma's singular imprint to make a distinctive statement of its own. The film starts its steady, deadly march toward that devastating prom and that other iconic image of newly crowned prom queen Carrie.
Extras: Interviews
Our pick
- "The Crying Game" (R, 1992, 112 minutes)
When "The Crying Game" hit theaters more than 20 years ago, the crime mystery became an international sensation because of a huge secret at the center of its mesmerizing plot.
I will not spoil that secret in case you haven't seen Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan's thriller, which netted six Academy Award nominations in 1992, including one for best picture.
Jordan, who won the Oscar for best original screenplay, weaves a brilliant tale about a British soldier (Forest Whitaker) kidnapped by Irish Republican Army terrorists, and the unlikely friendship that transpires between an IRA volunteer (Stephen Rea) and Whitaker's character.
What happens between Whitaker, who can be seen on DVD this week in "Lee Daniels' The Butler," Rea and others in "The Crying Game" is what makes this smash hit a classic.
