Boardwalk RFP Issued
Nine months after Sandy shattered or lifted the boardwalk away from the stanchions it rested on, the City is now seeking proposals for design and construction of 4.7 miles of new boardwalk, from Beach 20th street to Beach 126th Street.
The City, through the Economic Development
Corporation (EDC), has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and set short term deadlines to get the process moving. The deadline for submissions is August 14th. It is expected the City will announce a bid winner in short fashion because the RFP states that September 1st is the beginning date of the contract. The RFP allows for the project to run for 25 months. Construction is expected to begin before the end of this year.
With the 25 month contract, a completed boardwalk, therefore, may not arrive until the fall of 2015. Until a bidder is announced, it is impossible to project what will be completed by when. And, it's premature to consider other particulars, such as whether certain sections will open before others.
Although the language is a bit fuzzy, it seems concrete will replace wood. The RFP says proposals should include plans for the "removal of sections of original timber boardwalks, ramps and stairs with new structurally rated concrete components."
As for what the City is looking for, the RFP offers only broad guidelines: The Consultant shall provide Engineering and Design Services related to the repair of damage to the Rockaway Beach boardwalk caused by Hurricane Sandy which may include the incorporation of seawalls, dunes and other protective structures which are more resilient and able to withstand storm and tidal forces which will impact the coastline in future years.
It is possible the boardwalk will have to be elevated in some sections. The RFP states the boardwalk should be 3 feet higher than the 100 year flood elevation. This height requirement can vary depending upon the sea level at particular stretches of beach.
The scope of the project only goes as far west as Beach 126th Street. Although the RFP says the boardwalk will not continue past Beach 126th Street, it does say: Additional services may be required for sections of the Rockaways west of Beach 126th Street. As it stands, the blocks from the west side of Beach 126th Street through Beach 149th will be protected by its current baffle walls and additional sand scheduled to be pumped in the coming weeks. No additional measures have been elucidated.
At a minimum, the RFP directs bidders to submit proposals that include plans for: • new boardwalks and Protective Structures that are more resilient and able to withstand storm and tidal forces that may impact the coastline in future years; • new boardwalks that are three (3) feet higher than the 100-year storm elevation; • new boardwalks designed to H-20 loading capacity; • removal of sections of original timber boardwalks, ramps and stairs with new structurally rated concrete components to allow public access, maintenance and emergency vehicle access to safely travel the boardwalks where existing substructures can be reused; • utilization of substantial existing structures that have withstood Superstorm Sandy and removal of selected sections of structures to create islands or areas distinctively different from conventional and surviving boardwalk structures; • new oases area on the north side of the boardwalks within DPR property lines; • new appropriate park furniture, plumbing and electrical fixtures, and railings to meet DPR standards and shall be approved by PDC; and • new LED solar and conventional lighting.
It is expected that the design and engineering firms which put in place the current boardwalk islands will be a leading contender for the contract. Many locals speculate that much has been decided and that the RFP is merely a pro-forma step the City is required to undertake.

(CNSNews.com) - A spokesman for Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said Friday that the Senate Judiciary Committee's leading liberal may make a decision sometime next week on whether to stage a Senate filibuster to block a confirmation vote on Attorney General-designate John Ashcroft.
"Senator Kennedy has not ruled anything in or out, but he is signaling a possible filibuster," according to his spokesman Jim Manley.
Kennedy wants to consult with his Senate Democratic colleagues first. At least one of those Democrat's, Georgia's Senator Zell Miller, has said he will vote in favor of Ashcroft.
Friday is the third - and perhaps the final - day of Ashcroft's Senate confirmation hearings.
Kennedy is very criticial of Ashcroft's record on abortion rights and affirmative action.
Insiders say that even if Kennedy launches a filibuster, Republicans may be able to muster the 60 votes that are needed to break the procedural roadblock and permit the full Senate to vote on Ashcroft's confirmation.
Senate Republican leaders have said they expect all 50 of the chamber's Republicans to vote for Ashcroft, along with a number of Democrats as well.
Many liberal groups do not want Ashcroft confirmed. However, President-elect Bush, in a Fox News television interview Thursday, continued to defend his selection of Ashcroft as Attorney General. He believes liberals are using Ashcroft's Senate hearings as a way to energize their base.
"There's going to be voices in Washington that'll never concede that I made a good choice. But I'm not interested in those, the leaders of the special interest groups, the people whose job it is to scream the loudest so they can raise more money," Bush said.
"I'm interested in the people -- the people outside the Beltway, the people throughout all the country, who are going to say now I understand why President Bush named John Ashcroft."
Bush predicts eventual Senate confirmation of Ashcroft.
"People are going to say whatever it takes to try to defeat this man. They're not going to defeat him. And when it's all said and done, John Ashcroft is going to be the attorney general," said Bush.

Hello dear Dorthe
I'm in love with your pumpkins - they are so beautiful. A lovely idea for autumn decorating!
Pink seaweed - how lovely - I would be collecting it to, but I would dry it and then dig it into my garden!!!

Enjoy your Sunday and the new week ahead.

Сладки, сладки малки тикви Дороти! Много харесвам ръчно направени тикви. Лятото почти си замина и вече и аз мисля за есенна декорация.
Толкова е хубаво, че живееш край океана и можеш да си събираш материали като тези красиви розови водорасли.
Поздрави и прегръдки от мен.

I was never soooo much into pumpkins, dear Dorthe, but seeing your vintage style ones convinces me! They are beautiful, even more so knowing they are made of recycled material. I love the vintage images and the muted colours and feel the urge now, to try and make one myself. Thanks for this sweet inspiration!

Kære Dorthe.
Tak for din hilsen!
Jeg vil helt sikkert blive ved med at kigge forbi, men som det nu allerede har været tilfældet i nogle måneder, så sker det måske lidt mere sjældent end tidligere. Det er bare som om, at jeg har så meget andet om ørerne, at det går ud over bloggen.
Men dine smukke kreationer bliver ved med at imponere mig. Det samme gør tingene af de kvinder, som sender dig små hilsner og gaver.
Selvom du arbejder med nogle lidt andre materialer, end hvad jeg gør i, så forstår du virkelig at kombinere forskellige materialer, som giver spændende udtryk.
Jeg håber, du får en god ny uge.

Thank you Sweetheart, you are always so encouraging... such a gift you have.
I love that pink seaweed! Wish I could walk on the beach and glean. My son bought a huge vintage shell collection from a flea market and gave them to me so I have been putting Shell studies together and making bottles also.
I love your pumpkins, I need to start making some for the show but I have been having too much fun with the shells :)

Announcement: The final 12 Small Grants
The United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking's (UN.GIFT) first ever Small Grants Facility programme has been deemed a huge success. An impressive 440 proposals were submitted by civil society organizations (CSOs) around the world when the Call for Proposals was opened on 1 March 2010.
Within one month, more than 800 organizations from 76 countries registered with the Small Grants Facility. Out of the first 300 proposals that were submitted, 12 organizations were selected for funding to implement projects in Afghanistan, Albania, Brazil, India, Ireland, Lao, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, Togo, Ukraine, and Ukraine/Macedonia. Click here to find out more about the projects.
UN.GIFT understands that CSOs around the world perform invaluable work and that financial resources to fund these important activities are often limited. The Small Grants Facility was established to support CSOs in their work with survivors of human trafficking. The final objective is to increase and improve support structures for victims of human trafficking around the world.
The selected projects focus on different areas such as direct victim support; empowerment of vulnerable groups and communities; cooperation between non-governmental organizations from countries of origin and destination; and collection of evidence-based knowledge.
Priority was given to proposals from least developed countries, low- income countries and lower-middle-income countries. 80 per centof selected projects are located in these countries while the remaining 20 per cent of funds were used to support activities in developed countries.
The selection process was conducted by a multi-agency Board of Experts made up of representatives from IOM, OSCE, UNODC and UN.GIFT. The amount given to CSOs for their activities is between $30,000 to $50,000 per project. All of the selected CSOs have received their grants and have started implementing the projects.

Salvaged Honeycomb Ponderosa Pine Shelving - 8" x 4' Item # C0251
8" x 4' board
Our Salvaged Honeycomb Ponderosa Pine 8" x 4' Shelving is made by hand in Portland, Ore., of reclaimed wood from Pacific Northwest barns. The wood was among the most common species available when barns were constructed in the 1800s and early 1900s. The barns were taken apart by hand with all nails removed. The wood was then planed and joined to make lovely, rustic shelves that last a lifetime. True history is visible in the wood, as sawmill marks and oxidized nail holes remain.
The Honeycomb Pine (named for its black and gold patina, along with the wax honeycomb found on some of the boards) is actually Ponderosa pine from Oregon barns owned by four generations of the Kuhl family. Hank Kuhl, now in his 60s, is the last family member to work the farm. Hank and his wife, KJ, have been helping deconstruct the buildings. The original barn was one of three livery stables in Prairie City. The barn was moved to Indian Creek midcentury and used primarily for horses, pigs, and dairy cows until the 1970s.
- Pine
- Finished with a water based poly urethane

The Canterbury Tales HTML version
The Wife of Bath's Tale
Experience, though none authority* *authoritative texts
Were in this world, is right enough for me
To speak of woe that is in marriage:
For, lordings, since I twelve year was of age,
(Thanked be God that *is etern on live),* *lives eternally*
Husbands at the church door have I had five,<2>
For I so often have y-wedded be,
And all were worthy men in their degree.
But me was told, not longe time gone is
That sithen* Christe went never but ones *since
To wedding, in the Cane* of Galilee, *Cana
That by that ilk* example taught he me, *same
That I not wedded shoulde be but once.
Lo, hearken eke a sharp word for the nonce,* *occasion
Beside a welle Jesus, God and man,
Spake in reproof of the Samaritan:
"Thou hast y-had five husbandes," said he;
"And thilke* man, that now hath wedded thee, *that
Is not thine husband:" <3> thus said he certain;
What that he meant thereby, I cannot sayn.
But that I aske, why the fifthe man
Was not husband to the Samaritan?
How many might she have in marriage?
Yet heard I never tellen *in mine age* *in my life*
Upon this number definitioun.
Men may divine, and glosen* up and down; *comment
But well I wot, express without a lie,
God bade us for to wax and multiply;
That gentle text can I well understand.
Eke well I wot, he said, that mine husband
Should leave father and mother, and take to me;
But of no number mention made he,
Of bigamy or of octogamy;
Why then should men speak of it villainy?* *as if it were a disgrace
Lo here, the wise king Dan* Solomon, *Lord <4>
I trow that he had wives more than one;
As would to God it lawful were to me
To be refreshed half so oft as he!

WaPo Publisher Weymouth Polarizes her Newsroom
Washington Post newsies are demanding raises after Post publisher Katharine Weymouth collected a 16.4 percent pay increase despite the company's recent 66 percent plunge in profits. "It's amazing how [Weymouth] can accept a 16.4 percent salary increase plus over a million dollars in bonuses in April while most Guild-covered Post workers haven't received an increase since 2008," says Rick Ehrmann of the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild/CWA 32035, noting that the workers' contract is set to expire on June 7. "When the Guild asked for the same 16.4 percent, she sent the Post's attorney to the bargaining table to cry poverty."
Fred Kunkle, an 11-year staff writer and co-chair of the Post Guild local, told Media Matters that the union understands the paper's financial problems. But he said it does not accept such an imbalance in salary increases.
"It is obviously unfair," he said of Weymouth's raise. "We appreciate very much that the Post is facing a difficult economic climate. But why should everybody in the rank-and-file, everyone in the newsroom, suffer for it and bear all of the hardship for it? We are willing to work with management and find a way to move the newspaper into the 21st Century. It can't be by us alone giving all of the sacrifices."

Many aggressive children and adolescents have grown up in violent homes and neighborhoods, but some become violent for other reasons, as in the student shootings at Columbine High School and other schools. In particular, are there psychological or family variables that constrain children toward such a developmental pathway? Many analysts assume that demographic and socioeconomic factors account for most child aggression. Past studies on antecedents of aggression have reported that in general there is no one single cause of aggression. Specifically, there are probably multiple pathways by which individuals become aggressive and/or violent.
When this study was started, the focus in the aggression literature was on the environmental antecedents/risk factors of aggression, with little on psychological and personality factors. This study attempts to delve into some of the latter issues while revisiting the environmental factors previously described in the literature.
The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, was presented at the biannual conference of the Society for Research in Child Development and the European Conference of Developmental Psychology.
The seven-year study showed that two characteristics strongly predicted the development of aggression (assessed by physical violence and externalizing behaviors): 1) physical punishment/ aggression by parents against the children and 2) inhibited temperament of the child. Further analyses in progress indicate that a negative self-representation may also predict later aggression and violence.
The most powerful predictor was parents' physical punishment and violence, which also related to exposure to victimization and violent fantasies. Inhibited temperament was the only personality characteristic that predicted aggression, which suggests possible connections with the isolated, alienated children and adolescents who have committed school attacks. The important factors for predicting aggression seemed to be fearfulness in general and apprehension/lack of confidence about school, not simple shyness. Inhibited children may react to problems with peers and schools by making negative attributions against others and thus becoming more likely to act aggressively against others.
Inhibited children in this study were characterized as socially withdrawn, uncomfortable or distressed in new situations, and anxious about making new friends or trying new activities. Examples of aggressive behavior included fighting and lashing out at their peers both physically and verbally, insulting them, hitting and pushing them, attacking them with weapons, and, in extreme cases, criminal aggression, including murder.
In summary, the following factors did predict aggression:
- harsh physical punishment in the family
- inhibition
- peer victimization predicted aggressive fantasy, and aggressive fantasy predicted amount of aggression
- low self-esteem predicted amount of aggression, but not as strongly as the other factors
Most demographic and socioeconomic factors made little contribution to predicting aggression. Although aggression increased with age as expected, there was little effect of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or gender. Also, many potential psychological and environmental predictors such as family environment (other than parental violence), sensation seeking, self-worth, and degree of fantasy played little role.
In summary, the following factors did not predict aggression:
- gender
- racial and ethnic group
- socioeconomic status sensation seeking—boys and older children were higher sensation seekers, but sensation seeking did not predict aggression
Findings indicate that most of the study children were not very aggressive, fitting national norms. Specifically, 25 out of the 440 children in the original sample were above the clinical line on the CBCL. So far, two children have been jailed for severe criminal aggression, including murder.
Representative sampling was conducted to include 440 children between the ages of 7 and 13 in Springfield, Massachusetts, a small city which has a population similar to national norms and represents a microcosm of the diversity and problems found in the U.S. Certain zip codes were oversampled to obtain equal numbers of Caucasians, African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos. An approximately equal number of male and female and Hispanic/Latino, Caucasian and African-American children were included from all socioeconomic levels. Assessment began at 7 to 13 years and has continued in four waves to 12 to 18 years of age.
Investigators include Malcolm Watson (Brandeis University), Kurt Fischer (Harvard Graduate School of Education), and the New England Research Institutes. Trained interviewers went into participants' homes and conducted a series of two-hour interviews with both the study children and their mothers.
A wide range of demographic, family, and psychological factors were assessed in interviews, with standardized instruments including the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Self in Relationships, the Slaby Fighting Scale and the Harter Self Esteem Scale, Conflict Tactics Scale, Reznick's Childhood Inhibition Scale, Moos's Family Environment Scale, Harter's Perceived Competence Scale, Fischer's Self-in-Relationships Interview, the Adolescent Health and YRB surveys, and the WISC, as well as additional interview items and assessments of neighborhood and household characteristics. These instruments helped researchers examine a number of psychosocial factors including:
Temperament: several kinds of temperament were measured, with the focus on what Jerome Kagan calls "inhibition."
Fantasy Thought: the frequency of children's day dreaming and the content of their thoughts were evaluated for aggressive tendencies.
Connectedness and Disconnectedness in Families: measures included factors associated with cohesion among family members, attachment styles, and children's representations of themselves in important relationships.
Sensation Seeking: children were asked to what extent they seek out high sensation oriented activities.
Researchers used regression and structural equation modeling. Data was collected at four separate time points.

Kurt Fischer is the Charles Bigelow Professor of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is an expert on cognitive and emotional development and directs the school's Mind, Brain, and Education program.

Johnson sets NFL season record for receiving yards
(Reuters) - Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson gave the home crowd something to cheer about when he set a National Football League record for most receiving yards in a season in a 31-18 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.
Johnson caught 11 passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford for 225 yards and a total of 1,892 yards for the season with one game remaining.
The speedy, 6ft-5in (1.96m) Johnson, serenaded by chants of "Calvin, Calvin" even while the team was falling to its seventh loss in a row, eclipsed the record of 1,848 yards set by Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in 1995 for the San Francisco 49ers.
After his 26-yard fourth-quarter reception on one of his typical catch-and-run plays across the middle moved him past Rice, the Lions receiver jogged to the sideline to hand the ball to his father as the crowd roared in appreciation.
"This is a huge accomplishment to take one of those records from the great Jerry," said the 27-year-old Johnson, taken with the second overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Georgia Tech.
"He's amazing," Rice said in a phone interview during the ESPN telecast. "Just watching him go out there and do his thing on the football field, he's a true talent and that's why they call him 'Megatron'.
"You never want your record broken, but if anyone is going to do it, I prefer it's Megatron."
Rice said Johnson's combination of size, strength and speed made him an exceptional threat on the gridiron. Continued...

Apex Launcher Pro
by: Android Does • 18.3K
All Android applications categories
by: Android Does • 18.3K
Published: 2012-05-21, by Manu Galvez.
Pro version unlocks the following features:
- Multiple configurable drawer tabs
- Unread count notifications
- Dock swipe gestures
- Two finger gestures
- More transition effects
- Batch add option for folders
- Option to merge folder contents
- Widgets in dock (1x1 only)
- Overlapping widgets...
Actually, regarding appearance, Apex Launcher is quite similar to stock ICS-launcher. However, if you take a look at its guts, you'll find enough reasons to make it your default launcher. Let's focus on them.
Thus, it's set in HOLO-layout, like ICS stock launcher. We realized at first sight that it runs smoothly: transitions between screens, launching app drawer, placing shortcuts on the home screen or launching apps. Everything seems to be boosted.
Besides its enviable performance, its strongest point is that it's high customizable. From Apex settings, you can adjust home screen, drawers, dock, folder, behaviour and advanced parameters at your whim. Likewise, once done you can backup your preset and restore it whenever you want.
Thus, you'll be able to set up to 9 homescreens and a customizable homescreen grid size. Likewise, it includes a customizable scrollable dock with up to 7 icons per page and up to 5 pages. You can set inifinite and elastic scrolling, fancy transitions effects (there are not too many though), hide apps or enable gestures. Actually it brings some interesting gestures like pinch, swipe up/down and double tap on homescreen and icons.
In a nutshell, lots and lots of options: it's even hard to write them all down here. We can only recommend you to give a go and see it for yourself. Highly recommendable.

Saw this post after coming across some warning messages on CL about the guy... I saw him a few months back, also at a Boston hotel, and immediately recongized his face, though he called himself Mark Osborne in his email to me. Anyway we met up and he oferred me a drink, and I passed out almost immediately. I don't remember very much but do remember his face and when I woke up he was gone and I was naked and sore... I was convinced he raped me and probably w/o condom as I got STD a few days later. He also stole my money and phone. Afraid to go to cops because of my line of work but this guy is for real dangerous and avoid him at all costs!!!

EbatesInternet USA
Ebates Ebates does not want to give me my full cash back bonus Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On May 23rd, 2013 I made a purchase and earned a cash back bonus for $102.03. As usual, the credit did not appear so I had to submit an inquiry on June 10th which was 18 days after the purchase date which should have been sufficient time for the credit to be reflected in my account. I was given their typical responce which was:
"Thank you for sending along this information. We have submitted an inquiry to the store regarding the reporting of this purchase, and will notify you as soon as we have information to pass along.
Ebates relies on our stores to report your order to us so that you can earn Cash Back. We cannot credit an account until the store notifies us that a purchase has been made and that Ebates will be paid for this purchase.
Please keep in mind that it can take some time for the store to respond and we will be sure to let you know as soon as they do. Most inquiries are resolved within 10 business days, though some do require more time.
If you have any further questions, comments or concerns please let me know and we would be glad to assist you further."
I patiently waited and when I didn't hear a response, I sent a reply email 10 days later on June 20th. I was informed that as soon as they receive a resolution they'll let me know. Fast foward 18 days later to today, July 8th. I send yet another message and am informed that they are unable to:
"verify this purchase as being eligible for Ebates credit. This means Ebates has earned no credit for this purchase and as such cannot credit your account.
At this time we have added a $20 promotional bonus in your account as our way of letting you know we appreciate your membership and understanding in this matter. The bonus amount will show as pending (As shown below) until you place your next order and that order posts to your account. Once the order posts the $20 will be approved and reflected in your account balance."
This is completely unacceptable. I have provided them with their ebates tracking number, date of purchase, order number and order details. They can clearly see that the purchase was made! They're trying to only give me $20 out of the $102.03 that they owe me!! I want to see that full amount in my account immediately!!

We have sent this Ebates member over $700 over the past couple years. We are still working to resolve this case for this member. In fact, we have a phone call scheduled for today to discuss the matter.
We are sorry that this store did not pay a commission to Ebates on this order. We too would have liked to have earned credit for Lee's order. We are both on the same side.
We look forward to helping this member today. Ebates is far from being a rip-off. We have been paying Cash Back to online shoppers for over 14 years. We are always willing to continue the conversation, and we are here to help.

Free Prodigal Son Sunday School Lessons for Children
The following Sunday School lesson for children is a free sample Sunday School lesson. There are many more Sunday School lessons available on The Resource Room.
This is a great lesson to teach for Father's Day. Children today need to know more than ever that they have a Father in heaven that they can always depend on, who will always be there for them no matter what happens or what they do. So many children today come from broken homes. They often only get to see their fathers on the weekends or a couple of times a month. Fathers today are busier than ever. I have heard statistics that the average time a father spends with his children is only two to three minutes a day.
Memory Verse:
Psalm 86:5
Scripture References:
Luke 15:11-31
Teaching Concept:
Children learn that God is a loving and forgiving God.
Early Arrivers Activities
1. Color Pigs to be Used for the Activity
Hand out pig pictures for the children to color (See the activity section for printouts.). Tell them that they will be used for a game they will be playing later.
2. Help the Prodigal Son find His Way Home Activity Sheet
Work on the "Help the Prodigal Son Find His Way Home" Sheet.
The Lesson
Read the "Parable of the Lost Son" from Luke 15:11-31
Our story today is about a father who had two sons. For some reason the younger son was not happy at home with his family. Our story doesn't tell us why he wasn't happy, only that he wanted to leave. Does anyone have any ideas why the younger son might not have wanted to stay home with his father and older brother? (Let the children give their ideas.) He had everything he needed. His father provided for all his needs. He had food, clothes, and servants. Maybe he was bored at home. Or maybe he felt like he couldn't be good enough. Maybe his big brother was always doing things better than him. Maybe he wanted to prove to himself that he could make it on his own, that he didn't need anyone to depend on for his clothes and food. Maybe he was tired of doing things his father's way and wanted to do things his own way. Maybe he thought his father made him work too hard.
It doesn't really matter why he wanted to leave, we only know that he did. One day he went to his father and persuaded him to give him his inheritance now instead of waiting for him to die. His father divided up his land and all the possessions he had worked for all his life between the two brothers and gave each half.
The younger son sold everything he had been given and left his family. He bought himself the best clothes he could find. Everyone wanted to be his friend. Everybody liked him because he threw wild parties with lots of food and drinking and dancing. He thought only about what he wanted and how he could please himself.
After awhile though his money began to run out and he found that the people he thought were his friends only liked him for his money.
About that time there was a famine in the land. There wasn't much food to go around and jobs were hard to find. He went everywhere looking for a job, but no one wanted to hire him. Finally he persuaded a local farmer to hire him to feed his pigs. The son was so hungry that the pigs food began to look good to him. Does anyone know what pigs eat? They are fed the parts of the plants that aren't very edible to humans. The pods that are left over after collecting the beans or the husks and cobs lift over after eating the corn and other things like that.
By this time this poor son was in pretty bad condition. Can you image what he looked like? What he smelled like? What do you think he was thinking at this point in his life? He had everything he wanted when he lived with his father. Now he was living with the pigs and eating their food. He began to realize that he had made a big mistake. This was not at all what he wanted to do with his life. He had no friends, or family, or even food.
He knew that his father was kind and made sure that the people who worked for him had plenty to eat. He thought to himself, "I have sinned against God in heaven and my father. I have wasted all the money my father worked so hard to save for my future. I don't deserve to be called his son. I will go back home and ask him to hire me as one of his servants so that at least I won't starve to death.
The younger son picked himself up and headed back to his father's house. When he was still a long way off his father had seen him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him and held him in his arms. The son told his father how he felt -- that he didn't deserve to be his son anymore. He just wanted to work for him so that he would not starve. But his father wasn't listening. He was so excited to see his son. He had been waiting and praying a long time for his safe return. He had been worried and was constantly watching and waiting for the moment he would appear over the horizon.
The young man's father didn't yell at him, or reject him. He didn't tell him how stupid and wasteful he had been. Instead he had his servants bring his son the best clothes he had and put them on him. He put a ring on his finger symbolizing that his father had forgiven him and accepted him back into the family. He prepared a big party and invited everyone he knew to celebrate the return of his son. He celebrated as if his son had been dead and had now come back to life.
The father in this story was a great father wasn't he? We don't always get this response from our own fathers when we make mistakes, do we? Sometimes they yell at us and tell us that we didn't make a very good choice or weren't being very smart. Sometimes they give us a lecture about what we should have done. Sometimes we even get punished. But our fathers don't do these things because they want to hurt us, they do them because they want the best for us. They punish us because they love us and want us to do the right thing.
The father in this story knew that his son had learned his lesson. He knew that he was sorry for what he had done. He probably thought that his son had been punished and shamed enough. He didn't have to tell him he was so stupid and wasteful; the young man already knew it.
When Jesus was telling this story, he wasn't talking about our fathers here on earth, he was talking about our Father in Heaven. He was trying to show us how God loves us unconditionally. He loves us no matter what we do. He is sad when we do wrong and turn away from him, but he never rejects us and anxiously waits for our return. David said it perfectly when he wrote in Psalms 86:5, "You are kind and forgiving, O Lord, abounding (overflowing) in love to all who call you.

Father, we thank you for your loving kindness. We thank you that we can come to you whenever we have a problem and that you will always be there for us. We know that you are quick to forgive us when mess up and will always welcome us back when we return to you. Amen
1. Play "Feed the Pigs" Memorization Game
What to do:
Before class print out the 8 pig sheets and cut out loosely around the pigs. Pig Sheet 1Pattern, Pig Sheet 2 Pattern, Pig Sheet 3 Pattern, Pig Sheet 4 Pattern, Pig Sheet 5 Pattern, Pig Sheet 6 Pattern, Pig Sheet 7 Pattern, Pig Sheet 8 Pattern
If you have younger children, you may only want to use part of the verse so you won't have to print out as many pigs. You may want to print them all out to use as an opening activity for the children to color and then you can just use as many as you need for the game. You will have to print out one sheet twice if you are going to use the whole memory verse for this game. You need one pig for each word of the verse. Print out the pea pod card sheet and make copies onto light green paper, and cut out the pea pods. Write one word of the verse on each pea pod.
How to play:
Before class write the memory verse up on the board. As the children finish coloring their pigs place a pig above each word. Have the children say the verse with you as you point to each word. Erase some of the words and then go over the verse again. Keep doing this until all the words are erased.
Now mix up the pea pods cards and have the children take turns picking a card. When a child picks a card he tries to "feed a pig" by placing the appropriate card in front of a pig to make the memory verse. If the card is put in the wrong place, the card goes back into the deck and the cards are shuffled again. Keep playing this way until all the pigs are fed and the memory verse is complete.
2. Play a Pig Snorting Game
Here is a fun game to play although it may not be appropriate for Sunday morning Sunday school.
The object of this game is to pass a snort around the circle as fast as you can without laughing. Have the children sit in a circle. Start by snorting at the children to your right. That child then snorts to the person on his right. Have the children keep going until someone laughs when they are snorting or receiving a snort. If a child laughs while someone is snorting at him or he is snorting, he is out of the game. He can laugh at all other times. If a child does not want to snort he can say "oink" The object of the game is to get the person you are snorting at to laugh so making faces while snorting or acting silly is okay. Keep up the snorting until there is only one child left.
3. Review the Story with Items
Before the lesson collect some play money, sandals, a play ring, some food scraps in a plastic bag or bowl, a toy pig, a toy cow or picture of a cow, a party invitation or balloon, a Bible, and some binoculars. Show your child the items, one at a time, and see if they can guess how they relate to the story. You could also see who can find the passage in Luke first that relates to the object:
Money - 12 - "give me my share of the estate."
Sandals - 22 - "and sandals on his feet.
Ring - 22 - "Put a ring on his finger"
Food Scraps - 16 - "He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating"
Pig - 15 - "sent him to his fields to feed pigs."
Cow - 23 - "Bring the fattened calf and kill it."
Party Invitation or balloon - 23 - "Let's have a feast and celebrate. "
Binoculars - 20 - "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him"

1. Make a "Pig in a Basket" Craft
What you will need: Small paper plates, pink and peach fun foam or construction paper, crayons or markers, scissors, yarn or jute string, raffia or ribbon for a bow, hole punch, glue and stapler.
What to do:
1. Before class print out the Pig Pattern. You can print it out on pink card stock or print it out on white card stock and have the children color the pigs. You could also use the pattern to cut pigs from pink fun foam.
2. Cut the snout from a different shade of pink so that it will stand out.
3. Cut the small paper plates in half. Print the Bible verse on the front of each paper plate half. Have the children color the paper plates.
4. When they are finished, staple them together to form a basket. Punch holes in the sides and tie string or yarn to form a handle. You can tie raffia or ribbon on top of the handle to form a bow.
5. Glue the pig face and hoofs onto the front of the basket so that it looks like the pig is hanging out.

We would love to hear your comments about this lesson. If you have done this lesson with your class we would love to hear how it went, if you changed anything, added anything, what age you taught and was it appropriate. Any comments that would help other teachers would be greatly appreciated and posted here for everyone to read
I just got back from teaching Sunday School and I wanted to tell you how TERRIFIC the lesson went thanks to Danielle's Place. We did the lesson of the Prodigal son. We played both games......the snorting one, (which was a BIG success) and the memory Bible verse feeding the pigs. They enjoyed working as a team on thistle We then made pigs in a basket and I really left feeling good. The kids and I both enjoyed our Sunday. I always recommend Danielle's Place to all the teachers. Sincerely, Joni Wilson
When the son finally returned home, his father gave him a robe, new sandals, and a ring. I used costumes from our supply closet, bought rings (a party pack) and we made sandals. I devised a pattern by tracing around my granddaughter's sneaker. Then I cut a felt piece which had sides attached to the foot, much like a butterfly. I punched three holes in each side. Then I cut another felt piece and a cardboard piece of just the sole. In class we glued the cardboard, for stability, onto the sandal and covered the cardboard with the felt sole to hide it. Then the students laced their sandals using yarn. I put glue on the ends to make the yarn stiff and easier to thread. The kids really liked this project. Jane Chubb
Also Halloween is the perfect time to get little things for the kids. I found musical batons at party city. They had them called "Groaning Sticks". I bought one for each of our kids and used them in our lesson of the Prodigal Son. They fit right in for a boy who wasn't happy at home and probably groaned a lot about his life. All of them groaning at once makes a great sound. They were 69 cents each. Kandy
Last night I did the prodigal son lesson, and the story was great. I had them thinking about how they would have felt, and they were riveted when I was talking (it was one of the first times!). I teach 1-5th grades, and even the 5th graders enjoyed "feeding" the pigs. I went a little farther with the "pig" theme and served pigs in a blanket (prepared ahead of time -- I put them in the oven just as I started the lesson. Take a refrigerated biscuit (I used Grands.) and roll it out to the length of a hot dog, place a slice of cheese and hot dog on it and roll it up. I made them at home and individually wrapped them in plastic wrap. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. It was a good change from cookies and juice. Thanks!! Cheryl Gross

Women are supposed to have broken through the glass ceiling; everything is supposed to be fair and equal in the corporate world. Alas, reality doesn't always conform to what is supposed to be. Huffington Post reports on a recent American Economic Association study, which found that men are still using their connections to get in the heady world of finance but as far as women are concerned, who they know counts for nothing.
The bottom line is that the boys' club is still alive and well and if women want to compete with well-connected men they have to work twice as hard. Apparently, mens connections make them trustworthy, but women's connections, by implication, make them sneaky and untrustworthy. Perhaps people assume that women pay their connections in kind.
Women Outperform Men, Naturally
That statement is not supposed to reignite the gender debate; instead it refers to findings that show women are, by nature, better at making sound investments.
While investment firms might be drawn to fearless macho posturing and men who will happily leap where angels fear to tread, they should be seeking women's more cautious nature. This is according to an article by Teresa Mitchell for North Bay Business Journal. Mitchell cites Harvard University's Jennifer Lerner who says that when the pawpaw hits the fan, men react with anger and make impulsive, reckless decisions. Women, on the other hand, react with fear and only make decisions after they have carefully assessed the situation and analyzed the options.
These findings are borne out by studies by Brad Barber and Terence Odean, who found that while men were nearly twice as likely as women to trade, their annual returns fell by one per cent per year. Barber and Odean don't use the word arrogant, but it does rather accurately describe the attitude of men who feel they're too good, too powerful to fail.
Women may trade less than men but they do so more wisely and, more often than not, bring in positive annual returns.
According to Mitchell, other qualities that make women better investors include:
- Patience
- Long-term thinking
- Willingness to diversify
- Willingness to ask advice
And yet …
Melissa Fisher is an anthropologist from New York University who has studied women in the financial sector in New York. Fisher recently published a book titled Wall Street Women, in which she says that despite all the apparent forward thinking and all the evidence pointing to women's undeniable nous, they are the first to get the chop when things go pear shaped.
For example, more women than men were fired after the financial crisis, including three of the most influential women on New York's finance scene.
Even more disheartening is the fact that many high-powered women openly admit that they'd rather promote men than women to positions of power. Patently, no ladies' club exists, nor is one likely to exist in the near future. This is especially unfortunate because experts believe that with the right mentors, women could start closing the gap between their male colleagues.

Thankfully my little car made it to new jersey without breaking down, but the cost
of the fuel and food had made a serious dent in my budget, I knew if I was going
to find somewhere to live I needed to find a job and fast. When I arrived in New
Jersey I called a friend from school, I knew she lived in the area and I hoped I
would be able to camp on her floor for a little while at least until I could find a job
and a flat. As luck would have it she was at home, I went to see her and I told her
what I had done. Her parents thought it was hilarious; they were fabulous they
told me I was welcome to stay as long as I needed. They were leaving on a big
holiday in a few days and it would save them some money if I could look after the
house and their little dog for 6 weeks. I was so relieved; I had somewhere safe to
stay for a few weeks. When they left for holidays they made sure there was
plenty of food and they even left money in case I needed it for some reason. The
little dog and I became good friends, he would sleep on the bed with me and
during the day he would come out in the car with me while I looked for a job.
Then one day I took the dog for a walk and got a bit lost, I found a little bakery
and went in to ask for directions, the man that was behind the counter drew me a
map and gave me and the dog a drink of water. I noticed that he was writing a
help wanted sign, I asked him about the job, he used to run the bakery with his
friend who had recently passed away and he needed some one to help serve
and decorate cakes. I told him I have no experience but I was willing to learn. I
walked out of the bakery with a job. Only one problem I had to be at work at 4am
the next morning.
The following morning I showed up at the bakery, it was 3.45 am, it was dark and
it was scary, even the dog gave me a dirty look when I got up so early. I left the
dog asleep on the bed, I made sure he had plenty of water and filled his bowl
with food but he wasn't interested.

Messi & adiZero Silences Bernabéu
If anyone was going to shatter Real Madrid's Champions League dreams in dramatic style, it had to be the little Argentine. Lionel Messi's two goal extravaganza all but booked a date with Manchester United at Wembley in May. In an ugly encounter scattered with theatrics and petty fouls, the magic of Messi enlivened the clash in the closing stages.
Lionel Messi took his incredible goal tally to 52 for the season, while taking his Santiago Bernabeu goal count to six. The adiZero wizard finally broke the deadlock in the 75th minute after some superb wing-play from substitute Affelay. Just twelve minutes later, Messi provided a moment of genius, dancing through he Madrid defence in a breathtaking solo effort to tap-in one of the most spectacular goals of the season.
For adidas, their adiZero talisman provided the boots with another moment of worldwide publicity as Cristiano Ronaldo and his CR Superfly's were left in the shadows. For all of the extravagant designs, advertising campaigns and bright colours the Nike Mercurial range can offer, they will always have one disadvantage - Lionel Messi wears adiZero.
Madrid fans will question the manner in which Barcelona left Madrid with a 2-0 lead, but despite the protests, Barcelona look to be heading to Wembley to take on the biggest force in English football. Could we be in line for another boot-kissing celebration in a repeat of the 2009 Champions League final?

GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Marist baseball team recorded a 7-3 triumph over UNC Greensboro in the opener of a three-game series between the teams on Friday. The win was the Red Foxes' second straight, and evened their season record at 4-4.
Senior shortstop Zach Shank (Lititz, Pa.) led Marist offensively, going 3-for-5 with five runs batted in, two runs scored and a homer. Shank was the lone Red Fox to enjoy a multi-hit game, although Marist outhit the hosts by an 8-7 margin.
Senior right-hander Chris Bielak (Sayreville, N.J.) earned the win on the mound to improve to 2-1 on the season. Bielak struck out eight in 7.1 innings and gave up six hits. Sophomore right-hander Evan Davis (Little Falls, N.Y.) finished the game with an effective 1.2 innings. Davis struck out three and allowed just one hit.
UNC Greensboro got on the board first with three runs in the first, but did not score after that. The Red Foxes then scored three in the fifth, as Shank's two-run single tied the game. In the seventh, Shank's two-run single put the Red Foxes ahead for good. The Red Foxes added a third run in the frame on a sacrifice fly by junior designated hitter Zachary Passerelle (Sparta, N.J.). The Red Foxes added an insurance run in the ninth as Shank added a solo home run.
The teams will play the middle game of their series tomorrow at 2 p.m. Junior right-hander Kevin McCarthy (Malverne, N.Y.) will get the ball for Marist, and will be opposed by Max Povse.

The two most common questions we've gotten are of the following sort:
1. I'm having trouble installing ALLPATHS-LG.
These are invariably related to general problems with an individual system's configuration. Provided that you're running on a 64-bit Linux system, they are almost always fixable. If you send us the details, we will help you. We've also noticed that somebody is building ALLPATHS-LG packages, so you may be able to download and install those directly.
2. I want to run ALLPATHS-LG on such and such data. Will it work?
It should work if you've met the data requirements. Please see our PNAS paper. In particular, ALLPATHS-LG takes only paired reads as input. You must have an 'almost overlapping read' library, consisting of pairs of ~100 base reads from ~180 bp fragments (or proportionally longer for both). You also must have at least one jumping library. If you don't have these data, you might want to consider generating them!

Hello Creators. Good day to you all!
I've been up for the last 24 hours straight, working on the appearance of Addictapic.
I've decided to try some textures and patterns into the mix, tidied up the homepage with jquery tabs, added comment wall notifications, added an "open a store" option, took out all of the rotate/scale animations in George's style sheet tip, created contests out of events, and MUCH more!
I have submitted my network to be judged by pcmanwebsite.com for their "Top Site" Award. Hoping to win it.
I'd really love if you all could come on by Addictapic, have a good look around, and come on back to Creators Network to let me know how I'm doing!
Any advice, suggestions, code additions or network usability suggestions are absolutely welcomed!
Constructive criticism, or maybe you hate it! Please be honest, I will use all information to my advantage!
Thank you everyone, have a wonderful day!
Damien Hannah
