My sponsored children taught me to take my mind off myself and be concerned for others.
Ballard Family September 22, 2010
Our child sent us an Easter letter talking about going to church and singing and dancing their praises for Jesus. What a wonderful blessing to be so full of His Love that you must express it so physically! We tell him often how blessed he is and to pray that our church will be so Spirit filled that we will dance and sing His praises like his church does.
Paul Krug September 21, 2010
It has taught our children to pray for others
Sandy Helgesen September 21, 2010
That being useful to God is not what I preconceive it to be, and that it is important!
Amy D September 20, 2010
My Compassion children have taught me that you can love and pray for children and families that are not your own. They have also taught me that I don't NEED that money like I thought I did. They have taught me that yes, even though I am one person, I CAN make a difference. They have taught me that blessings flow through me and that God isn't always blessing ME, sometimes He's equipping me to bless others.
Beatty Collins September 18, 2010
Oh my! They've taught me so much. That my simple letters are so precious to them. That someone whom I've never met and who has so very little is praying daily for me. That a little child in a far-off country has such faith and hopes and dreams of the future. It is both humbling and inspiring. I want so much for the Lord to bless them and for those dreams to come true.
Bill September 18, 2010
The young lady I sponsor in Colombia has shown me what Jesus meant when He said unless you become as little children. I understand from the letters that she sings songs about Jesus and Bible stories. How many lights can she cause to shine in her neighborhood as people take note that she has been with Jesus. She has given me life and much more than I could ever give her. She is special.
Jeremy September 18, 2010
I have gotten two letters from Luis in El Salvador. He is so mature in his faith so far! He is talking about his love for singing and going to school and sunday school. His main prayer request is for wisdom and that his family is kept healthy. He is only 9! I know that I wasn't asking for that kind of prayer when I was 9. I wasn't even a Christian until I turned 13. God is gonna use Luis for big things!
Joanie September 17, 2010
My child has inspired me to be a better person, Christian, woman, daughter, friend and everything. She is teaching me to be an example to her. I am writing to a 15.5 year old girl in Tanzania Africa… and I want her to continue to grow up to be a mature young Christian lady. She is the reason I sleep at night and one of the main reasons to get up in the morning. She is a big comfort and a welcome responsiblilty and I consider her my most special friend. She teaches me that God, life, friendship, human love and God's Everlasting Love, Sacrifice on the Cross and Forgiveness is all we need to know. Also a repentent heart and faith when we sin and mess up in life. Writing to her is a joy and a happiness and definitely life changing. If you cannot afford to be a sponsor(like me right now, but I hope that changes, please pray for me), be a correspondent like I am. It is a wonderful, spiritual experience…I love it, and I love my friend in Tanzania Africa.!!! Thanks and God bless all of Compassion's 'angels', past, present and future. Love Joanie ps also, especially God bless ALL of God's children, great and small, young and old. We are all His children….
Justin Becker September 17, 2010
My sponsored child has taught me that it is possible to reach across the world and make a difference. My sponsored child has done just as much for my children, as we have done for her. The gift of watching my children correspond, pray for, and think about a different culture has been wonderful!
Nicolette Choi September 17, 2010
My Compassion children taught me that the love of God has no boundaries. That when the Lord brings people together that the bond of love surpasses anything our minds can comprehend. To love someone you have never physically met, yet your whole heart is invested and you want so badly for them to receive everything that God has for them. It may seem silly to some; but for me and my family it is a reality!
stephanie eaton September 17, 2010
My child has taught me, thus far, to re-learn about how the power of prayer can save a life, change a life and give life more abundance as it is meant to be lived.
Kathleen Ryness September 17, 2010
It's good to exchange letters that clearly praise God & appreciate Christ & each other.
Jeanne September 17, 2010
My sponsored child has taught me how love can be shared even though one doesn't see each other face to face.
Tina & Mike September 16, 2010
Our sponsor child has taught us in just the past week that we have been on boar with compassion that we are able to love a child who is not family and have a special bond with her.
Ken M. September 16, 2010
My sponsored children taught me that I am blessed so I can be a blessing to others. Blessings (money) aren't for getting the big house, the big car and the high paying job only to sit back and say now I'm satisfied.
June Gauss September 16, 2010
My sponsor child has taught me that anything is possible with God! Sponsorship has changed my life for the better!
Patricia September 16, 2010
My sponsored children have taught me about faithfulness and giving, and that poor in finances does not have to mean poor in spirit!
Jennifer Montgomery September 16, 2010
My sponsored child has shown me that love has no geographic or language barriers. When I finally got to meet her in person, I realized that even though we couldn't speak the same language, smiles and hugs are sometimes the only communication needed to say "I love you".
Anna Pancake September 16, 2010
Faith, Gratitude, and….Geography. I never knew much more than where US, Canada, Mexico, and the western European nations were on the globe, now I have learned so much more about Africa, and Central/South America it is amazing!
Samantha Reed September 15, 2010
My sponsored child has taught me joy no matter what! I love reading the things they delight in.
Garry September 15, 2010
Being a sponsor, and visiting my kids, has taught me that I am the one that is "poor." For all I have, and their absolute lack of anything, other than family in most cases, they are eternal optimists and happy with what they have.
Megan, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine that happening to one of my kids.
Corina Lucas September 15, 2010
being a sposor has taught me responsability and staying commited to something to the end
Michelle September 15, 2010
1. A different perspective on needs vs. wants.
2. How blessed we truly are.
3. Faith in God to provide for us financially.
4. Faith in God's word as we see it fulfilled. 2 Cor 9:6-15
5. Big blessings come in small packages.
6. To appreciate and learn more about cultures of Ghana, Burkina Faso, India, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Bolivia.
7. We cannot outgive God.
8. That hope rises out of adversity.
9. To appreciate things like running water, a solid house, food in the cupboards, etc.
10. You CAN change the world, one child at a time.
Emily September 15, 2010
My sponsored child has taught me that the welfare of a girl overseas whom I've never met should be just as dear to me as that of my own daughter, because that is how the Father sees her.
Linda Rahaim September 15, 2010
both the children I sponsor have taught me what it is to have child like faith and to have a love and passion for Jesus. It is such a tremendous blessing to me, when both girls right back and the first they tell me is about Jesus and then the first girl I sponsored always says how she is praying for me and my loved ones for healing and believes we will be healed. Praise God for such faith. It is very uplifting to me, when I am depressed.
Nancy Beckman September 14, 2010
I'm a sponsor and correspondent of 16 children from 15 different countries. What an amazing blessing they have been to me. Some of their letters get to me in 3 weeks and some take 3 months. The best part of my day is when I get home from work and I have a letter from one of my children. One night I actually had 6 letters. I write about 6-8 letters to each child each year, plus I respond to every letter I get–I always leave it sitting out as a reminder that I have not responded to it. After I respond, I file it by the child's name. I'm always surprised by their maturity and faith in God. They are so appreciative of all that they have and my letters and sponsorship. They are always thanking me and praying for me. Sometimes I don't think I deserve all of their prayers and love. I hear what they learn and do at their "project sites" and know that Compassion is doing wonderful things with my donation.
Darius September 14, 2010
Marc, my child has taught me that God is bigger than the city I live in and much more loving and caring than anyone else in the whole wide world.
I myself was a Compassion sponsored child in the jungles of Ecuador back in the early late 80's. I remember the letters I got from my sponsors and the drawings I used to draw for them 🙂
It has really been an amazing blessing and encouragement to know that Jesus loves connecting people from around the world through His Holy Spirit . I felt I needed to do the same for another person, another child too.
Thanks CI for doing this amazing job in Jesus' name and for opening my eyes to other people's needs.
Jesse Spriggs September 14, 2010
the Love of our Lord reaches so far, and always in both directions. In his most recent letter to us, our child asked; "how do you plow your fields, with a plow or a tractor," indicating just how far seperated we are on this planet…yet at the same time, how perfectly loved we both are by the perfect God. Who is blessed more I don't know, we who live in the wealth of America, or our children who live in complete dependance on our Father.
Teresa September 14, 2010
My child has taught me there is joy possible, even in the harshest of circumstances.
Kees Boer July 25, 2008
One thing my children taught me is generosity. They would many times give me something so beautiful. It was truly the widos's might and I knew that the only thing I could do was accept it and give them a big hug and tell them that I loved them.
Steve Dean July 25, 2008
Sorry to hear about your sponsor child.
Steve Dean July 25, 2008
My Sponsor Child(ren) taught me.
That they love unconditionally.
Amanda July 22, 2008
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep you and your family (and Sakulu's family) in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You!
Carrie July 22, 2008
My child has taught me how much love the poor have to offer. I never thought they would care about me as much as they do… They care so much about me and my family. The most recent letter from my little girl said
"Do not worry, because I never stop praying for you!"
Megan- I'm so sorry about your child! I would be a wreck if anything happened to mine.
Sheryl Grandt July 21, 2008
Thank you to everyone for the information. I shall continue to pray about this.
Vicki Small July 21, 2008
Lisa, that's all good information. I will add, though, that Compassion does include people who are not established sponsors. I was able to submit the names of two people–one of them a close friend–last fall, neither of whom was already a sponsor. My friend received her packet after about a month; several months later, the paying sponsor quit, and my friend and her husband opted to become the sponsors.
It seems fair, to me, that Compassion wouldn't restrict the privilege to existing sponsors. After all, we accept donations from non-sponsors!
Megan July 21, 2008
I'm just now checking in again and noticed the question about what happened to Sakulu. My husband wrote about it here: http://seconddrafts.wordpress.com/?s=sakulu
We still miss him.
Lisa Miles July 20, 2008
Hi Sheryl! re: correspondence kids — you can call the main Compassion number and they will give you all the details and make the arrangements for you.
(800) 336-7676, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT.
For those who don't know — correspondence kids are already sponsored, but may be sponsored by a corporation that provides funding for hundreds of children — and thus there is no writing relationship there. Compassion is looking for established sponsors with a good correspondence history to be the writing part of the relationship.
You don't pay the $32/month, but you can send a yearly birthday, Christmas and family gift. And, of course, you write! While the funding comes from someone else, the kids will know you as their sponsor.
If the source of the funding,(the corporation or whoever), chooses to stop participating, you will be giving the chance to pick up the sponsorship of that child, so the relationship isn't just cut off.
Prairie Rose July 20, 2008
My sponsored child(ren) taught me…
that I can truly love someone I've never met.
It also means a lot more to the kids in the family when someone quotes the trite, "There are starving children in Africa…" if I say, like Milton and Rebecca… sure does personalize their understanding of needs in other countries!
Kristin N. July 20, 2008
…unconditional love, to love someone that we've never met.
We just recently sponsored a second child and it has been a reminder of the depth of relationship that we truly have with our first. We're excited to know our second just as well!
To give to and pray for someone else far away has been nothing except rewarding, it's hard to believe that we can bless them as much as they have blessed us.
Tina July 20, 2008
You can use the contact link on Compassion's website to email or call Compassion and request to correspond with a child. Compassion will send you a child packet for the child you'll correspond with. The child will also likely think you are their sponsor. (None of my 3 correspondence kids have ever indicated to me that they know they have both a sponsor and a correspondent, anyway)
Vicki Small July 20, 2008
Sheryl, if you'll call 1-800-336-7676 and tell the person who answers that you would like to be put on the list as a correspondent sponsor, I think that'll work. That doesn't mean you'll get a packet right away, but if you're on the list, you will, eventually.
What can be difficult, for some, is that, if the sponsor stops sponsoring the child, the correspondent sponsor may lost the relationship she/he has been building. But before that happens, Compassion will offer you the option of becoming the child's full sponsor.
Now and then, Compassion gets a whole bunch of kids needing correspondent sponsors, so it will come to pass! Bless you for considering it!
Mary July 20, 2008
Hi Sheryl,
In response to your question about a correspondence child. Here is what I did. I called Compassion at 1-800-336-7676 and asked the representative to put my name on list to correspond with a child. You can ask for a boy or girl. Or even choose the country. I just asked for my name to be put on the list. It took about two months and I had a little in Tanzania to correspond with. If you specify a country it may take a little longer. It is so easy and you are considered the "sponsor" in the child's eyes. You can even visit your correspondent child, if you wish. I hope this helps you out.
Kees Boer July 20, 2008
Hi, Sheryl,
If you call Compassion (1800-336-7676), they can set that up for you. The child will look towards you as the sponsor. A couple of weeks ago, I was in Bolivia, visiting the children and one of my correspondence children was so thankful for writing her. She kept on hugging me. The children don't know that you aren't the sponsor actually. She kept on saying: "my sponsor, my sponsor…" Then the project put up this whole show with the children for me, thanking me as a sponsor. I actually felt really kind of guilty, because I wasn't the sponsor, but I didn't want to tell the child, because that would have hurt her. I just kept on saying "thank you!"
All that is to say is that your correspondence children can be really sweet children that love you very much.
Sheryl Grandt July 20, 2008
My sponsor child has taught me what it really means to care about another person and that joy comes from the Lord.
I've heard a few people talk about have a correspodence child. How do you get one?
Megan, I'm really sorry to hear about your sponsored child.
Jill Foley July 20, 2008
My sponsored children have taught me that our prayers, encouragement, love and money TRULY make a difference in their lives.
In her final letter, my first sponsored child, Judith, wrote: "I am very much impressed and comforted of what good you have done in me. Your help has shown light in my life. I'm educated. I never knew in my life I would have such kind of education compared to my family's poor standard of living. Actually because of your love we're now living in a good shelter too."
My sponsored children have also taught me that they pray for me and my family, just as we pray for them! Some days it brings me to tears when I realize that there is a boy in Kenya praying for me 3 year old…or a girl in the Philippines praying for my unborn child (when I was pregnant)…or a boy in India praying for our family when we moved….the list goes on and on!
Compassion dave July 20, 2008
My sponsored (children) have taught me…That I am doing exactly what the Lord wants me to do; speak up for them and those like them.
Sarah H. July 20, 2008
My sponsored children have taught me what it means to trust in God and to fully depend on him.
Mary July 20, 2008
My sponsored children have taught me joy and humility.
In response to Kees experience with letter writing. I have always enjoyed letter writing and make dates and copies of all the letters I send. It does vary I know, but my experience has been it takes two months for my letter to reach the destination country, and two months for a letter to reach me. There have been a few times when my letter has taken three months to get there, but typically it is two months.For me the total turn around process is about four months.
Kees Boer July 20, 2008
Hi, Steve,
That is wonderful. My dad and I both write our children every two weeks. When I went to visit them a couple of weeks ago, I really saw that the children appreciate it so much.
Different countries have different methods of writing back. Some countries, the children write 3 or 4 letters to their sponsors/year. Other countries, the children write at least 3 or 4 letters/year, but they also will reply to each letter that they get. I know Bolivia and Burkina Faso are that way. Since it takes about 3 months for your letter to get to the country and another 3 months to get the reply back, you might find yourself writing for 6 months like that without getting a whole lot of reply back, outside of the first letter, which is normally written fairly soon after the child finds out they are sponsored.
Since my children are all in Bolivia, I asked them if they found it too much. I actually was there when one of my children got one of the letters. They get the letter, the translation, and a copy of blank stationary for them to write their reply within a few days. I didn't want the children to feel like they had to write too much. All of them said to please continue writing like that. One of them even asked if I could write more!
I do think that a lot of this relates to the country your child is in. I think that Compassion is slowly but surely switching all of the countries over to the child responding to each letter. If the child is young, they also need help with the letters.
I hope that helps. Those are my experiences with it. But your children are very blessed to have you as a sponsor! I've also seen children cry, because they didn't get letters from their sponsor.
Carolyn F July 20, 2008
I try to write my sponsored child every two weeks. I just added a correspondence child. She has taught me to know that I really have alot to offer, even in ways I never knew. She has grounded me to realize that our self worth comes from within, not from what things we have.
Vicki Small July 20, 2008
Steve, I think you were addressing your last question to Kees, but I'll offer this: I have *heard* of sponsors who write to their sponsored child every week. In my first two years as a sponsor, when I had only two children, I either wrote or sent a card, stickers, bookmarks–something–every couple of weeks. Then I added a third child, and I slowed down just a tad. Then a fourth–and writing every month was all I could manage. Now I've added an LDP student, and I struggle! But that's just me. Many people sponsor and write to far more children than I, and write every month.
Typically, I think, the projects receive mail about once a month. So if you send mail more often, your child will receive several things at once…and I'm sure she or he won't complain!
Kees and others may have more input for you, as well. Bless you for caring about this child!
Cheryl Jones July 20, 2008
My teenage daughter got me involved in Compassion. From her example, I write my kids every 2 weeks. She writes 2 to 3 times a month. One of her girls said, "I am the child in the project that gets the most letters. All my friends want that, too." When we went to see her, she brought all of her letters (from close to 3 years of sponsorship) to show that she had them. She told my daughter she had her picture in a frame and she kissed it every night before she went to bed. You cannot write too much.
Steve K. July 20, 2008
Kees ~ Thanks for your reply! I've been faithful in writing, and I get more excited to get a reply with each one (one initial one with a family photo, and the rest by email). I've written a letter every two weeks or so – wondering if that might be overkill, but probably not.
What's the most frequent you've ever heard of someone writing letters to a sponsored child?
Abbie H July 20, 2008
Lisa, you were probably smart in sponsoring kids from one area. I have often wondered if I should have thought more about that. We have one in Peru, one in Brazil, and our newest from Kenya. I thought it would be neat to learn about different parts of the world along with our sposorship. Now, our desires are to be able to see them and to learn their language. BUT I probably will never be able to pick up one language-much less 3 (haha) and, unfortunately, 3 costly trips will probably never be in the picture. We still plan on making a trip to see, at least, one of them and pray for all 3. But with all that said-I would never change it now because I have loved getting to know all 3 of them-no matter where in the world they may be.
Lisa Miles July 19, 2008
My sponsored child taught me not to rely on the stereotypes of other countries, but to really learn what other places & people are about.
My kids are in Ethiopia, and through sponsorship I have learned what a cool place it is. It is a country with amazing art, music, natural wonders, cultural and historical sites, sports, etc., etc. I had no idea! Sponsorship really broadened my horizons. My goal for 2009 is to start learning Amharic — the official language of Ethiopia. (Pray for me because I am foreign language-challenged.) 🙂
Abbie H July 19, 2008
My sponsored child taught me that life isn't always about me, but doing God's will and loving everyone-just as Jesus did!
Kees Boer July 19, 2008
Hi, Steve,
Yes, it might take a while. Normally, it takes about 3 months for a letter to get to the child and 3 months for the letter to go from the child to you. So, if you write a letter and ask a question, it could easily take 1/2 year for a response. That's my experience. I think it depends somewhat on the country too. I find Burkina Faso to be extremely fast.
One letter, I sent to one of my children, I mentioned that I was eating some peanuts, while I was writing the letter. So, half a year later, I got an answer back asking me how the peanuts were. I had forgotten about it and then I remembered.
Your letters are extremely important though. I got a letter today from the mother of a little girl, I sponsor. She mentioned how when they got the first letter, that both of them cried of joy. Then I cried, reading that!
Steve K. July 19, 2008
Nothing yet! ;o) We haven't received a reply letter yet, but we're still new (sponsored on May 23, 2008)
Kees Boer July 19, 2008
Generosity. When I went to visit them, they would give me gifts and I know that they were so tight financially. It was truly like giving the widows' might.
Megan, I'm so sorry to hear that your sponsored child died. That must have been so difficult. I can't imagine the grief I would feel.
Vicki Small July 19, 2008
…that a cheerful giver can tithe even on gift-monies, no matter how much that money is needed.
Tina July 19, 2008
My sponsored child taught me about joy.
Sara July 19, 2008
..that I can make a difference in a life.
Amanda July 19, 2008
I know this is off topic, but what happened to your sponsored child? What country was he in? I must admit I am more aware of hurricanes, upheavals, and other news that may affect my children.
In response to the prompt…
My sponsored children taught me – that my problems are not nearly as big a deal as I tend to think they are!
Megan July 19, 2008
My sponsored child taught me that, through his death, he really was a real person to me and not just a photo on the fridge.
Melissa Coast July 19, 2008
My sponsored child taught me that kind words spoken (written) to someone really do make a difference.

2 arrested in attempted home burglary
Police investigate rash of home burglaries
Madison police said a homeowner may have scared off two burglars who tried to kick in a garage door to gain entry to his home.
A 36-year-old man was in bed at about 9:40 p.m. Friday when he heard loud bangs coming from the back of his house in the 2700 block of Whitlock Road on Madison's west side.
He went to investigate and saw two men walking away from his home. Their footprints led to his rear garage door.
Responding officers found a muddy smudge on the door, consistent with it being kicked, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
In the past few months, the Madison Police Department's West District has experienced a rash of home burglaries where intruders have gained entry by kicking in garage doors, police said.
In this case, it appears the homeowner's presence may have scared them off, according to the incident report.
Police said officers quickly set up a perimeter and were able to locate two suspects walking near Lindfield Road and Muir Field Road.
Police said Roderick S. Williams Jr., 19, and Allen D. Coleman, 24, both of Madison, were arrested on charges of attempted burglary and trespassing.
Investigations into the rash of break-ins are ongoing, and it is not known if the two suspects are connected to the other break-ins, police said.

Let's Read, Let's Move: What Is It?
Blog Categories:
United We Serve
America's children continue to struggle with summer learning loss and childhood obesity. As part of the effort to battle this problem, the Corporation for National and Community Service continues our Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative for the summer of 2012.
Let's Read. Let's Move. is inspired by the president's call to service and the first lady's Let's Move! Initiative to promote healthy lifestyle choices when childres start their summer vacations. This program is designed to play a major role in changing childhood habits by encouraging service and action in three important areas: physical activity, increasing access to nutritious summer meals, and boosting summer reading to prevent learning loss.
The Summer Slide
Studies have shown that young people lose some of the educational gains made during the school year if they do not continue to engage in learning activities over the summer. Reading five books during the summer will keep kids on track and ready to learn when the next school year begins.
We can all help by making sure kids have opportunities to read and have access to books. You could organize a book drive, spend time reading with kids, or register your school or organization with First Book to obtain books for distribution.
The Summer Slump
Childhood obesity has increased at alarming rates. To reverse this trend, kids need access to healthy, affordable meals and must spend time being physically active during the summer months. Unfortunately, many must overcome a few obstacles to make this change happen.
A sizeable number of American children have limited access to healthy meals during the summertime. This problem strikes particularly hard for the 19 million children who receive free or reduced price meals during the school year because only 2.3 million have access to summer meals. Moreover, even though summer is a great time to play outdoors, many kids lack safe places to play and the opportunity to be physically active.
You can help kids stay healthy by helping the find summer feeding sites, creating a community garden, or rehabilitating a playground. Many individuals and organizations are already addressing these issues by serving in their local communities, and we're sure they can use another set of helping hands.
It is because of this spirit of service that Let's Read. Let's Move. has been successful in the past. You can learn more about the connection between learning and health from the National Summer Learning Association. And more ideas and toolkits are available on the Let's Read. Let's Move. website.
Let's work together to keep kids healthy and engaged this summer. Share your tips on our Facebook wall and with the #LRLM hashtag on Twitter.

- Title
- Magnetic flux density distribution in axial flux machine cores
- Author(s)
- Hewitt, A. J.; Ahfock, A.; Suslov, Sergey A.
- Abstract
- A three-dimensional analytical model is presented to evaluate the magnetic flux density distribution in the core of an axial flux machine. The model predicts significantly higher flux density near the outer radius of the core than that at the inner radius. This has been confirmed by experimental test results. The model also predicts the presence of a curvature-related radial component in the magnetic flux density distribution. It is argued that if it can be established that eddy currents, induced by the tendency for the flux to flow radially, have sufficient shielding effect, then radial flux can be ignored and two-dimensional modelling can be used.

Years ago, when he was making a documentary called The Promise of Preschool, John Merrow talked to a Georgian who said he'd like to get rid of 12th grade and "spend the money on free, universal, high-quality preschool," writes John Merrow of Learning Matters TV. He wonders: Why not?
States with exit exams generally peg them to a 10th grade level, which ought to tell you something about official expectations. Across the nation, savvy (and bored) kids are enrolling in college courses while still in high school–if their system allows. You may recall our profile of one Texas school district on the Mexican border where many students have a substantial number of college credits under their belt when they graduate high school. Some actually receive their Associates Degrees from the local community college the same day they pick up their high school diplomas!
I conclude from that story, and from the tales from students in other school districts, that a 'business as usual' senior year is a waste of time. Thousands of motivated kids refuse to accept that state of affairs and so enroll in college, and that's commendable, but why not raise the bar in high school and shorten the time? If some students need a twelfth year, fine. But why bore hundreds of thousands of our youth?
Merrow guesses eliminating 12th grade would free up $6,400 for every four-year-old.
But every four-year-old doesn't need preschool. Those who do — the kid whose single mom can't read well enough to get through Goodnight Moon — need intensive, expensive early education. And they won't be ready for college after 11th grade.

And here's some more detailed information on using a nipple shield:
And here's some more detailed information on using a nipple shield:
How many total times does your baby feed in 24 hours?
On average, how many wet and poopy diapers does he have in 24 hours?
Does he get a bottle (or more) every day?
Do you pump every day? How often?
We struggled with the nipple sheild as well. I hated it, but it got us through. One thing that helped us a lot was taking baths together and having lots of skin to skin contact whenever possible. If you've got large breasts like I do sometimes it takes LO's a while for their mouths to get big enough to be able ot acutally latch on without a nipple shield. I'd suggest just using it for now, until you get other issues resolved. Have you thought of using a sling to wear him? Perhaps once you get his latching going better you could nurse him in a sling while being able to do other things with your older dc. Hang in there mama, I hope your medical order goes through for you!
Wife to Ray (09/07/07)and Mama to:
Xander (01/19/07) nursed for 30 months
Liam (12/12/09) still nursing through the night and in the mornings!
Sebastian (7/29/12) my newest little nursling who graciously shares his milk with big brother!
We went to the doc today for a weight check. He hasn't gained anything and our last check was a weeks ago. The doc came in and started poking around. Asking me more questions about his spitting up. He thought it might have been Pyloric stenosis but after 2 rounds of ultrasound they kinda ruled that out.
Living on this island is a pain, there isn't a ped doc here and the ultrasound equipment isn't the best. They are sending me to see a pediatrician down in Ketchikan within the next few days.
Needless to say, the doc apologized for ignoring my concern about the spitting up problem and the weight issues when I brought them up weeks ago. He said that he wrote them off because sometimes parents can be overly cautious with these things... Turkey head. This could have been taken care of almost a month ago... Whatever at least he is listening now.
So... I guess I will just work on getting him to latch properly with the shield for now and when I get to Ketchikan they will get me in to see an LC...


text: Yeah but he won't want to be a 3rd string PG. He'll want to start. He didn't do well in Milwaukee cause he needs and wants the minutes and doesn't like coming off the bench.....I think your right though, out of the bunch its worth a shot....He can play when he wants to

The Chaplain Program began as an innovative approach to meeting several needs in our community and county. Chaplains of all faiths work with law enforcement and fire personnel on a professional level by making themselves immediately available as trained and caring professionals who can assist in times of loss, confusion, depression, or grief to people in crisis situations. The Chaplains provide this service not only to the citizens, but also to all department employees and their families as well.
The Chaplain Program is administered through the offices of the Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Howard County Sheriff. The Chaplain must be ordained or commissioned and must attend a basic Chaplain's Training Academy.
Chaplains are ordained/licensed clergy and trained laity who are available to serve our Public Safety Departments, Victims Services, SMMC Hospital personnel, and the families and citizens of Big Spring and Howard County. They are called on to attend to various physical, spiritual and other related duties as assigned.
Chaplains are appointed to be an aid to the city, county, and state departments, their families, and the citizens of Big Spring, Howard County and the surrounding area.
The Emergency Services Chaplains are inspired to "serve those who serve."

Great Organic Aloe product
Posted by NBPT100 on Jan 21, 2016
I have been using this product for 3 months now and I say it is very good. I take only 1 oz 2x per day on an empty stomach and any acid reflux and stomach discomfort is gone. You could take more based on your situation. If you do take too much it may have a slight laxative effect so be aware. I also find this is good to help heal any gut irritations. I have recommended this to others with Crones and leaky gut and they do well by it. It is good on gong maintenance for the gut. This is an organic aloe and it is grown and processed in the USA. It is not freeze dried or made from powdered aloe. Kudos to iherb for offering this USA product. Plus if you buy 4 at a time you get 5% off. If this review was helpful please click the YES button. Visit my iHerb home page for more value added reviews of many products. Peace and good health!

I use this for so many things: a) on my kinky curly hair immediately after cleansing along with a small amount of coconut oil and a leave in conditioner. Perfect curls that stay hydrated every time. b) I also mix a little with water and spray it on my face before applying my moisturizer. c) take a capful with my supplements in the morning. It tastes better than any other aloe vera I've tried.
Goes down easy
Posted by Reviewer1957915 on May 19, 2011
I mix this with a glass of water and it partially dissolves to the point where it goes down easy and is virtually tasteless. I take 1 cap full and a glass of water always with vitamins. Dr. Oz recently put it in his show as a cancer fighting tool.
Not sure if this is real aloe, looks and smells artificial
Posted by Courtney84 on Aug 23, 2016
There is something artificial about this one. Also contains carrageenan which turned out to be health hazardous. Definitely won't buy again!
Nice drink, pity about the citric acid though. Citric acid is toxic!!!!
Posted by 5514081950035846903 on Oct 03, 2015
The taste is good, very refreshing especially when mixed with cold water. The company talks about how pure the aloe vera is and how it is grown organically etc. But then they add citric acid and ruin it all. I don't care how little the quantity is that they add but it's still citric acid and over a long period of time a little poison can't be good for you. Citric acid grows on a fungus. The ugly black fungus around the kitchen sink and bathroom tiles. Why would you want to eat even a little bit? Citric acid will also effect your teeth too. This product is natural and good only up to a certain point and once the citric acid is added it is TOXIC period! Do not be fooled!
Posted by 5461649947243534235 on Sep 25, 2016
thick slimey gel as opposed to juice which i think is cool. not for squeamish though cos it is slimey! very cooling and lovely though and nice in the stomach
real gel
Posted by 4787674330772421382 on Aug 14, 2016
Batter than any other aloe brands I bought in iherb. No odd taste or smell. Taste much better than other brands. Plus , I don't really get that comment which said citric acid is poison. Citric acid is a weak acid found in many kinds of fruit, especially citrus fruit such as oranges and lemons. Why would you call it a poison ? It is added to candy and snacks.
Good Aloe
Posted by Reviewer1356338 on Jul 20, 2011
I think Real Aloe is a good brand and the gel is of high quality. I drink it every day but only for about 2-3 weeks so at this point it is hard to see the benefits. However, I know that Aloe gel is great for you so I continue taking it. Good product, thanks!
Posted by 4784601502947472460 on Mar 08, 2014
I add a tablespoon of Aloe Gel to smoothies for a soothing, healthy drink. I also mix a tablespoon into my three cats' can food along with grape seed oil to prevent fur ball vomits.
Posted by 5223852101049605241 on May 03, 2016
Really good aloe vera gel. I'm using it as a tonic for my face before i go to sleep. And it's really big bottle and a really great price for it.

From Right Field to the Parking Lot
As the postseason awards get handed out and as Yankees fans revel in what 1.4 billion dollars can do for you, those of us cheering for also-ran teams have to sit back and hope for better luck next year. Yep, next year could be the year when Verlander wins his Cy Young, Miguel Cabrera finally walks off with the MVP award and Jimmy Leyland and the Tigers win the Series. It's not impossible.
But even if this is just a pipe dream, it's still better than watching the Lions continue to redefine terrible, one loss at a time. We used to have the Pistons but they're just ordinary anymore. And I suppose there are the Red Wings but I am not nor have I ever been Canadian so that just doesn't do it for me.
The thing is that the Tigers have all the pieces. They're just missing that elusive something, that killer instinct that could put them over the top. You don't put that many Venezuelans on a team and not expect some sort of revolution. Expectations are about all we have these days, though.
This whole process is kind of like that old song about playing right field. You daydream about the ideal situation and everything coming together but then something wakes you up and you face the truth, the terror of a baseball hurtling your way. For me, that something is one of my favorite Twitter streams, Sh!tMyDadSays. And if you scroll down to the tweet on October 8th, you'll see what I mean. Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Hope springs eternal, though. And in case you've forgotten the song, the kid ultimately ends up making the catch out in right field. Who knows? Maybe next year the Tigers will get the good news that Justin's dad thinks they deserve. But I'm betting on god taking another dump in the parking lot.
7 Comments
Allen, it is kinda ridiuculous how the Lions redefine terrible every week. But look at the bright side–they beat us, the Redskins (er, Deadskins)! And when did the Pistons decide they just wanted to be ordinary, anyway? Hmmm!…
I think you are right–the Tigers should be contenders practically every year, but they don't have that killer instinct. Until they do…
And yes, I did play RF in Little League. I can relate…
Perfect wording in that post.
Killer Instinct, or the lack of a death blow might have been the cantilever to throwing the Tigers out of the playoffs.
They have the talent,both on the mound and in the field to stake a lead and keep it.
But something happened to them in October.
Someone might have forgotten to bring the mojo with them. Might have packed it away for the playoffs and tried to get it warmed up too late to save the Tigers for 2009.
But 2010 begin soon enough, and the memory of that late season collaspe can be a good emotional point to thrust them early and deep into the possible playoffs in 2010.
Rays Renegade
I would think the Tigers have a very good shot next year. I'd never give up on a team with Leyland at the helm. He's Clint Eastwood for God's sake!
I hope the Tigers can pull things together, but I won't hold my breath. We'll see how the off season when it comes to their trades and signings.
I do care about the Wings, probably because I'm close to Canada in live in the original Hockeytown USA. I did grow up watching the Kalamazoo Wings which fueled my love for hockey, too.
Mike: The Kalamazoo Wings, huh? I take it that means you spent some time at Wings Stadium. I still think it's a bit of a shame that they renamed the team but it was fun getting to see some stars from the Stars get to play there before they got big.
It seemed like I practically grew up at Wings stadium. This was when the KWings were affiliated with Detroit and were winning Turner Cup Championships. I moved away after the Stars took them over and ruined the franchise. I hope they prosper now that they're in the ECHL.

Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Turkmenistan

|In fulfilling the Peace Corps' mandate to share the face of America with their host countries, Peace Corps is making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers.

In fulfilling the Peace Corps' mandate to share the face of America with our host countries, we are making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other despite our many differences.
Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal. In other ways, however, it poses challenges. In Turkmenistan, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Turkmenistan.
Outside of Turkmenistan's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Turkmenistan are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.
To ease the transition and adapt to life in Turkmenistan, you may need to make some compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limitations. The Peace Corps staff will lead diversity and sensitivity discussions during your pre-service training and will be on call to provide support, but the challenge ultimately will be your own.
- 1 Overview of Diversity in Turkmenistan
- 2 What Might a Volunteer Face?
Overview of Diversity in Turkmenistan
The Peace Corps staff in Turkmenistan recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of races, ethnic groups, ages, religions, and sexual orientations, and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who take pride in supporting one another and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
What Might a Volunteer Face?
Possible Issues for Female Volunteers
Although women in Turkmenistan work in most areas of the workforce, this should not be taken as evidence of equality of the sexes, as traditional attitudes toward women prevail.
The greater influence of women in the workplace has much of its roots in the Soviet system, and there has been a return to conventional roles for women since independence, especially at home and in social settings. As a female Volunteer, you will probably find that host families and colleagues will be more concerned about the hours you keep, your dress, and the friends with whom you associate (males in particular) than they will be for male colleagues. You will have to adapt to these concerns.
Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color
It is hard to anticipate exactly what African, Asian, or Hispanic Americans will face as Volunteers, since there is so little exposure to people with these backgrounds in this area of the world. But while all foreigners stand out, Volunteers of color may face special challenges. Stereotypes exist here, just as they do in the United States. But harassment of foreigners, particularly of women, is common, so not all difficulties Volunteers of color face should be presumed to be the result of one's ethnic background. In addition, ethnic identification is an important aspect of the culture, and the papers that all Turkmen carry identify them by their place of origin, e.g., "Turkmen," "Russian," "Azeri," or even "Jewish."
Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers
There is a great respect for age in Turkmenistan. In the workplace, everybody is likely to ask you for your opinion. You may receive less harassment in the streets than younger colleagues and at meetings or on a public bus people will often offer you a seat. They will also offer to carry things for you. Members of your host family may try to do your laundry, cooking, or cleaning. To avoid an "overload" of respect, you will need to be flexible and understanding of local cultural norms while also demonstrating that you are an independent person who is willing and able to contribute to various tasks.
Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
Homosexuality is not generally accepted in Turkmenistan. Although there undoubtedly are homosexuals and bisexuals in the country, there is no visible gay community, and finding local gays who live openly is unlikely. If you are accustomed to being open about your sexual orientation, you should be prepared for some feelings of isolation at home and in the workplace. The Peace Corps/Turkmenistan staff is prepared to do all it can to provide support to homosexual and bisexual Volunteers.
Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers
Most of the population is Sunni Muslim. Though Islam is widely practiced, there is significantly less of a fundamentalist influence in the country than in some other Islamic countries. Consumption of alcohol is common, and Turkmen are not as strict as other Muslims in observing daily prayers and religious holidays, though pilgrimages to religious sites are common. Islam in Turkmenistan also features elements of Sufi mysticism and shamanism. In June 1991, the Turkmen Supreme Soviet adopted a Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations, and the Constitution declares the country a secular society. However, since independence, traditional religious values and practices are on the rise. Volunteers need to remember that discussions about religion could be problematic and that proselytizing of any kind is strictly against Peace Corps policy.
Possible Issues for Volunteers with Disabilities
As a disabled Volunteer in Turkmenistan, you may find that you face a special set of challenges. In Turkmenistan, as in other parts of the world, some people may hold prejudicial attitudes about individuals with disabilities and may discriminate against them. Furthermore, there is little of the infrastructure to accommodate individuals with disabilities that has been developed in the United States.
As part of the medical clearance process, the Peace Corps Office of Medical Services determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodations, of serving in Turkmenistan without unreasonable risk of harm to yourself or interruption of your service. The Peace Corps/Turkmenistan staff will work with disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations for them in training, housing, job sites, or other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.

Here's how RW members rated this race (242 votes).
In short: fantastic marathonIn full: There is no moans here great run for What I paid to enter was a bargain. 4th marathon and will return next year to do it all over again. I turned up 1hr before and was quiet no que and was prepared for the run. This was a experience you won't get in a city marathon can't please everyone I guess. Great charity and well maned water stations along the way .Top work on a great marathonDate of review: December 26, 2013
In short: Enjoyably challenging pre-Christmas runIn full: Overall really enjoyed this marathon. The route on You Tube was a very smart touch I think. I enjoyed the route - yes it was muddy but it had been raining very heavily so what did some people expect?? The few bottlenecks were okay with me, didn't cause too much delay. Great water stations with good and plentiful selection of goodies, (loved those jaffa cakes!) Only real negative for me was all the unnecessary litter dropped by runners - total arrogance considering the large colourful bins at each stop. Will be back next year! Date of review: December 24, 2013
In short: Excellent coastal route, great marathon to end the year.In full: A flat coastal route, predominately off-road, (about 65% give or take a bit)can get very muddy in places. Friendly participants, encouraging marshalls, and helpful medics. It's not a PB course but it's a fun one. Whether you're a seasoned long distance runner or a newbie I highly recommend it. Goodie bag had a big box of cereal along with few treats. Mulled wine at drinks station gives you an idea of the 'fun' aspect! :-)Date of review: December 24, 2013
In short: Special because of the course and time of yearIn full: I love this course - flat but with character.Better organised than last year. Still work to be done.Needs better bag drop - as has been suggested same bag and race number could save much time.No 'real' changing facilities - the 50p for a shower in the Pyramid centre is very useful, however.Toilets, toilets, toilets required - anyone in the 'know' used public ones in the vicinity.Good, free on-road parking within easy walking distance.Goodie bag a nice surprise.Date of review: December 24, 2013
In short: Friendly race, but needs a few tweaks now it's grownIn full: My second time at this race, (2012/2013) and was just using it as a long, social run - with a chance to enjoy the drinks on the second half.As such - I didn't mind the bottlenecks, or missing the start but can imagine that this would annoy a lot of people, especially those gunning for a time.As others have said - it's December, in England, on the South Coast... Expect the weather to be bad! I got diverted at the end and ended up running around the streets of Portsmouth - apparently we got lost and did a bit extra but I must admit I didn't notice.The bag drop needs improving - maybe put the baggage label in the runners pack, (and make it the same number as the race number - giving out little raffle tickets with a random number on is a recipe for disaster, where are we supposed to put it - and keep it dry?)Oh - and yes, more loos please... The portaloos at halfway were unusable and caused many people to have to divert into the bushes on the return leg!Other than that - I thought the marshals were fab, the aid stations well stocked and friendly and an excellent goodie bag. Worth the trip down, thanks PortsmouthDate of review: December 24, 2013
In short: Great first time experienceIn full: I thought the event was well organised with the exception of the bag drop off being a bit chaotic but this was understandable with the weather. With this being my first marathon I found the multi terrain challenging - but that just added to the experienceDate of review: December 24, 2013
In short: 2nd time I've done this event and it's great which is why I chose it for my 100th. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere Date of review: December 23, 2013
In short: Excellent, Challenging and funIn full: A very good multi-terrain race. Well stocked water stops and everso friendly marshalls. Will do it again next year and have already entered. The only thing i would change is to hand out the medals as most are tired and thats all they want and direct people to the soup van as was unsure on which van was giving it outDate of review: December 23, 2013
In short: Lovely end of year jauntIn full: I enjoyed this race, but the pre and post race organising needs improving. There were no signs to direct people to the baggage area or loos. No announcement that the race was about to start while I was trying to drop my bag off. With the number of runners inside I was amazed the race was off before 9am. The route was varied and interesting, the water stations very well stocked and all the marshals were friendly and encouraging. I enjoyed the dip in the sea, it got my trainers clean! And the last two miles in the wind were very tough, but no one ever said marathon running was easy! The goody bag was ace, but I too like to be handed my medal.All in all a nice race with a friendly atmosphere and a few tweaks with organisation would help.Date of review: December 23, 2013
In short: Fabulous December race, along gorgous coastline, lots of funIn full: Glorious out and back route along the coastline, no tedious bits on this route! Mud, shingle, excellent trails, breezy seafront, fantastic. Yes it absolutely chucked it down at the start but the drummers kept spirits high.Goodie bags were extremely well stocked (massive box of cereal, sweeties and useful protein bar), soup at the finish, bag drop, free parking, friendly and helpful marshalls and a clearly signposted route. My favourite marathon this year :-)Date of review: December 23, 2013

chilhowee lake report
Went over to Chilhowee lake on monday to fish for awhile. Put in at tabcat ramp and headed up to the upper end by calderwood powerhouse. The lake is more like a river up there and they were generating at the powerhouse so they was quite a bit of current. The water temps still felt fairly warm to touch but I had forgotten my thermometer to see actually what the surface temps were. There were several hunters camping on the other side of the lake with dogs. guess they were bear or boar hunters.
The fishing was good, unfortinately the catching part was really bad. tried some topwater early as the fog lifted and later I switched to full sink lines after not seeing any fish in the shallower areas. I did spot 3 largemouth or possibly spotted bass but could not get them to bite anything. did not see a single smallie all day.
Went back down the lake around noonish to abrams creek to look at the tornado damage and fish a little up by the creek inflow. I did finally catch 3 little redbreast sunfish back there on a popper, but it wasn't much of a fight on my 8wt. Better than a skunking though!
Hopefully, if anyone is going to fish the lake for the fall migration trout from the lake , it will rain soon, as the water is very low coming into the lake and lots of trees down to contend with. Doubt I will go back till next spring to bass fish.
It is amazing how much damage the tornado did to the forest along the embayment. huge swaths of trees blown down, some still attached to huge rootballs and others just snapped like a twig. One side of the embayment has a lot of new fish attractors blown down into the water along its edge and the opposite side has cleared areas with muddy banks. cant imagine what it have been like to have been there during the storm. if you have not seen this video , it is worth watching.
I have always wanted to fish that area for some lake trout. How far is the distance by water? Glad you got out and spent some time on the water.
Thanks for the report...

Gary, do you ever get out on any of the bigger rivers this time of year? I grew up on the Duck in middle TN, and from now til Thanksgiving was prime time for some big smallies in the big bluff holes. It seemed like the fish were moving towards their wintering holes, but fattening up as they went.
Shawn , I have never fished for any trout on chilhowee but I see people occcasionaly trolling for them. I would recommend using a graph to locate them as chilhowee is a hard lake to figure out even for bass. I think most of the trout fishermen fish at night with lights.
Mick, I do usually fish the Holston and french broad through november. The french broad has been releasing a lot of water everyday. 18K just about every afternoon and it is a very dirty brown color. My experience in the past has not been productive fishing once they start doing that everyday.
The holston is still good but you are limited to wear you can go unless your in a drift boat, raft, or canoe and can run a shuttle. I've not fished on saturdays much lately but have made some trips on mondays. the generation shedules control where I end up going.
I would say the nolichucky or big pigeon are probably the best places to go right now.
A couple of years ago when Chilhowee was drawn down for repairs, a buddy and I put in at Abrams Creek launch in a two man canoe and 5 HP outbaord in late October. We worked up the road side of the bank along the rocks, then crossed the lake and work the wood line bank down about a mile. If my buddy hadn't tried to land the last smallmouth tail first (why he did this I'll never know since he had landed everything else for me head first all day!) I would have limited out that day. The smallest fish weighed two and a half pounds, the largest was an even five pounds. That day was the best fishing day I ever had in my life. To make it even more memorable, I caught all those fish on the same lure; an old deep-diving Rapala plug out of my tackle box from the 60's. Man, what a day!

I like their old and new stuff. Sometimes I just get in the mood for some some regular ol' heavy metal and don't feel like listening to anything else, so I usually end up listening to Dawnbringer's latest two releases.

Undergraduate Research in Scientific Inquiry with C. Barlow
Fall 2014, Winter 2015 and Spring 2015 quarters
Taught by
Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in Scientific Inquiry. Research opportunities allow science students to work on specific projects associated with faculty members' expertise. Students typically begin by working in an apprenticeship model with faculty or laboratory staff and gradually take on more independent projects within the context of the specific research program as they gain experience. Students can develop vital skills in research design, data acquisition and interpretation, modeling and theoretical analysis, written and oral communication, collaboration and critical thinking. These are valuable skills for students pursuing a graduate degree or entering the job market.
Clyde Barlow (chemistry) works with biophysical applications of spectroscopy to study physiological processes at the organ level, with direct applications to health problems. Students with backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or computer science can obtain practical experience in applying their backgrounds to biomedical research problems in an interdisciplinary laboratory environment.

September 4, 2013 —
Herons in our region can be found just about anywhere there is water. Lakes, ponds and rivers all have the potential of providing good habitat for herons as well as other aquatic bird species. Herons are hunters, and their diet consists mostly of fish, with some amphibians, insects and even small mammals rounding out the fare. Herons are somewhat shy of humans and will fly off if approached too closely by persons on foot, or in watercraft. During an early evening in August however, two of the more common species of heron made an appearance on the river and provided some close looks for the people at the Lackawaxen boat access area on the Delaware River just before sunset.
First to make an appearance was a green heron. This crow-sized heron, much smaller than the often seen great blue heron, was spotted barely 50 feet from a videographer whom I was helping to locate eagles to film. This immature green heron appeared to be very focused on foraging for prey along the river bank and did not pay any mind to the small group of people nearby; we kept our distance and did not make any sudden moves. Green herons are masters of stealth when looking for prey in the water and will stand motionless until an unsuspecting fish gets too close and is captured by a quick thrust of the heron's bill. In the wild, green herons can be easily overlooked if they are perched in trees as they often do when not foraging. Their dark color and small size give them the ability to be inconspicuous.
About 20 minutes later, the larger of the afternoon's heron duo came into the boat launch area and provided some close looks for a few people still at the access area. It was a great blue heron that had come to forage after being previously spotted on the far side of the river, and it did not seem to be perturbed by the people in the parking area. The great blue heron is the largest of North American herons and is usually easy to spot. They are also stealthy hunters of fish and other small critters that have the misfortune to come within the reach of their long bills. An excellent video taken of this bird, taken by Christopher King, can be found at vimeo.com/72869933.

The fit on the seats is great. The color is exactly what I wanted. The only problem I have is that the flaps for the seat belts are off. This isn't really a problem since I usually only haul my dog around but if I ever need to use the back seat for human passengers I will need to remove the cover first.

Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
I write about a lot of depressing subjects, and sometimes a change of pace is welcome. Mary Roach, billed as "America's funniest science writer," has followed up on her earlier explorations of cadavers (Stiff), sex (Bonk), the afterlife (Spook), and survival on spaceships (Packing for Mars) with a new book entitled Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal.
Forget all that mythology about diet, detoxification, and 10-year-old hamburger accretions in the bowel. The reality of human digestive physiology is far more interesting and has the extra-added attraction of being true. And in Roach's hands, often howlingly funny. She is a hands-on investigative reporter who is ready to try anything; among other adventures she inserts her entire arm in a cow's stomach. Her highly entertaining odyssey takes her to Igloolik to eat narwhal skin, to a dog food tasting lab in Missouri, to Minnesota to observe a fecal transplant, and to strange and exotic outposts at the cutting edge of science, populated by colorful characters.

Suntans are a marker of health and beauty all around the world. In many cultures, the media promotes tan, fit, and beautiful men and women. While just about anyone can lie out in their backyard or in a park during the summer, the turning of the seasons has forced
There are various tanning bed brands to choose among -- Wolf tanning beds are popular and SunQuest tanning beds have a reputation. Here's the thing: if you're saving up for a high pressure tanning bed in Boise, you'll want to save up for a nice one. You could always look for a used commercial tanning bed or a discount tanning bed, but you'd be selling yourself short. Save up for a SunQuest or a Wolf tanning bed, and your skin will stay happy.
If you're feeling a little depressed, consider visiting a tanning salon or a gym. Tanning beds in Boise aren't just for building up a nice base tan before your winter trip to Aruba or Jamaica. They may offer medical benefits, too. When ultraviolet light rays hit your skin, it facilitates the production of Vitamin D, which helps you stay healthy by boosting your immune system. So unless you're a vampire, you need to lose that unhealthy pallor.
If you're a tan-aholic, you might be in the market for some home tanning equipment. New beds can cost upwards of 2000 dollars, so it may be wise to consider some of the used tanning beds in Boise. Used beds are unlikely to have damage, unless they are from a rough neighborhood gym, and you can save up to 75 percent on the original cost of a bed.
Since full-size home tanning systems can be prohibitively expensive, there are smaller units for sale in Boise, too. Little tanning lights can be a bit more complex to use, but they're easier on the budget. So do some research and choose the system that's right for you!

Winter Career Fair set for February 11
Posted on February 07, 2014
The 2014 Winter Career Fair will take place Tuesday, February 11, from 1-5 p.m., at DeVos Place Convention Center in Grand Rapids.
Nearly 200 companies will be at the fair, offering more than 8,000 opportunities for students and alumni. The Health Career Expo, featuring health care employers, will be held in conjunction with the fair.
New this year is the Career Exploration, which will give students time to talk with companies informally and to learn about the fair. It will take place at 12:15 p.m. at DeVos Place Convention Center.
"It is important for students to have face-to-face conversation with employers. It doesn't happen very often in this day and age with technology and online application processes, so this is a good opportunity for students and alumni," said Susan Proctor, employer development manager for Grand Valley's Career Center.
