Subscribers can listen to Oregon State head man Mike Riley talk post-practice on the status of James Dockery, a key special-teamer for the Beavs, Sean Canfield, and more, here:
Special teams
Ever since the coaches mentioned some potential starters on special teams, the units' play has come together well. Both the punting and kicking went very smoothly today.
The second team kicks were split between Matt Barker and Ryan Allen, both of whom are expected to redshirt this year.
Offense: 11 vs. none
Riley seemed to be extremely pleased with the proceedings in the drill. They also ran through a few red zone and goal line drills.
Keaton Kristick and Keenan Lewis makes good defensive stops to start the skeleton drills. Kristick knocked away a near completion from the waiting hands of a tight end. Jacquizz Rodgers caught a short one and was looking for room to roam, but Keith Pankey was right there to stop him from further gain.
The next pass from Lyle Moevao was bobbled by Chris Johnson and Lewis jumped on it, picking it off. Round one goes to the defense, hands down, and they were just getting warmed up.
Justin Engstrom found Damola Adeniji and Jeremy Francis (pictured) for his two completions.
Moevao on his second set of reps hit Sammie Stroughter and Darrell Catchings for good gains.
But just when the offense seemed to get the upper hand, Lewis, who was praised by Riley in yesterday's audio clip, intercepts Moevao again with a great leap and grab. On the play, Lewis ran stride for stride with Stroughter and timed to perfection his jump. That was one pretty pick.
11 vs. 11 scrimmage
Suaesi Tuimaunei knocked down the first pass in the drill and then a couple of plays later, intercepts Moevao for a pick-6. The intended receiver on the play, Howard Croom, slipped and fell down, almost guaranteeing trouble for the offense.
Tuimaunei is building a strong case for that starting spot at Stanford -- starter Al Afalava will sit the game out. Speaking of whom, on the next play, Afalava bats down a pass intended for James Rodgers (pictured).
Good play both ways, Afalava on the break up and Rodgers turning in to a DB and making sure the pass wasn't picked off.
Engstrom completed a couple of nice passes to Aaron Nichols and Shane Morales. Nichols gained some good yards after the catch.
On the final play of the scrimmage action, James Rodgers makes a sliding catch to at least slightly stem the tide.
Still, the defense wins the scrimmage battle too.
Two-minute drill
The drill went ok offensively for the most part, but Afalava maintained the defensive roll with a great pick. The defense was simply booming with confidence at this point.
The offense did manage to complete passes to Chris Johnson and Shane Morales.
Patrick Henderson joined the defensive surge with a nice bat down, Damola Adeniji was the intended receiver on the play.
Moevao comes back with completions to Howard Croom, Chris Johnson and Ryan McCants. McCants, who can make yards after contact look like an art form, was stopped right after the line of scrimmage by an alert Dwight Roberson.
Engstrom's pass was low to Aaron Nichols but the receiver dived headlong and managed to reel it in just before the pigskin hit the ground. Gabe Miller made a nice catch on the run.
Then Jeremy Francis, who has spent a decent amount of the camp healing up, showcases one of his moves in making one of the backup linebackers look like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights.
That was one heck of a move by Francis and served to remind the spectators at practice that the Beavs have three running backs, McCants, Quizz and Francis, who could give Pac-10 defenses trouble this year.
Scout teams
The offense and defense against spent a good amount of time with their scout teams, with the bulk of the scrimmaging now in the rear view mirror as the coaches try to keep everyone healthy headed into Stanford -- the season opener for the Beavs is less than a week away.
On the offensive side, McCants put together some good runs. The defense was loud, as loud as they have been in a while, and made some nice stops. It was difficult to tell for sure but it looked like Lewis made yet another pick.
Play of the day
Keenan Lewis' interception of Moevao's pass in the latter half of the skelly. Stroughter has given the defense fits throughout camp, deftly using both his speed and moves to create separation but on this play, Lewis was stuck to him like glue all the way. And the timing on his leap was pristine.(pictured).
Wow. What a difference out there on Thursday. After the defense opened strong to begin the camp, the offense has held the upper hand for quite a while here -- but the D sure came to play on Thursday.
Not sure what got into them -- whether defensive coordinator Mark Banker lit a fire under his charges, they were tired of reading about offensive supremacy or seeing average grades assigned by this correspondent to the various defensive units this past week or what. But...
Whatever it was, they dominated the offense today.
And no, the offense wasn't playing badly, it was more a matter of an avalanche of great defensive plays, many resulting in turnovers and sudden stops.
It's only one practice, the defense has been less than stellar over a stretch of time and it's important not to read too much into Thursday, but this also must be said -- from this chair, there were flashes of the last year's stop corps out on the field Thursday.
They seemed to feed off one another's energy and it was more and more contagious as the session went on. The backups were buying in, getting involved in some nice stops. Tuimaunei on Thursday was making a strong case for that starting safety spot when the Beavs travel to Palo Alto.
The coaches will be hoping the defense can carry this kind of momentum though to the Stanford tilt. With the season getting underway next Thursday night, the Beavers on both offense and defense look to be steadily coming together.
Thursday's outing also serves as a reminder that this defense is capable of some big things -- there is no question as to their potential. What can also be projected of the '08 Beavs on defense, if the whole of fall camp is any indication, is that it can be a thin line indeed between great and average play for the stop corps. But whatever they did before Thursday's practice, they should bottle it.

No Rhyme Or Reason Behind Canadian Family's Ordeal In Egypt
I wracked my brain to think of a way to appeal to my Canuck countryfolk, because the story I tell is none too happy, and the ending is yet unspoken. I write as a friend to a friend, a mother to a mother, a poet to a reader or leader. For in this family's story, the heart and the crux is that this -- quite easily -- this could have been us.
A good friend of mine is living a nightmare and she needs all our voices to speak as one and help her out as she is forced into difficult choices. She moved to Egypt to found a school, Steiner-Waldorf-style. She met grand success (but not much rest) and saw a revolution, meanwhile. Swept up in the dream of democracy, it seemed, her hubby took a consulting role. But the civil service in which he served was as short-lived as a drumroll. No sooner had he turned 34 (on his birthday, no less) that he was slammed in jail by a general who ruled the state under duress.
The world wept, but most of all, his four children were struck dumb. The words to express their extreme distress were nowhere to be found. The trauma lives on, their father was released after a year and a half. Nearly paralyzed with pain and a back that -- with a strain -- would cease to function and end his walking around. Indeed, Canadian doctors have seen the evidence that his life is ever in danger. With paralysis, the lungs would not be the lifesavers he needs to survive.
So, back to my friend whose young hubby is alive and dying to come back home. My mind is with them and their four precious children, and what can I ever do? To help them return to the only home that is theirs and show them not just I (or you), but the whole world cares?
Come home, dear Sarah, and wee Tahrir, the girl aged three like my son. For the thing I relish, my one desperate wish, is for you to be home having fun. Out of the dark nightmare, the terror you sleep, the fear behind every knock, for God forbid they come back for more with ever more torture in stock.
Our government is strong, our government is ours, our government is all we wish it to be. But please dear Government, do what it takes; this concerns all us citizens, not just me. Bring this mom home to the place of her birth, the place where one fateful May she and I became friends before we were moms, and make every Canadian's day. I know you have tried, I know you have tired, I know there are limits to hope. But in spite of these "knows" I can't accept "no" -- it's time for the family to come home.
If you are reading this at home and you're like me, "the public," then spare a thought for this family in need. Because all I remember of these great friends are their gifts to our Turtle Island. I never thought the day would come when I'd ask for everyone's smile and -- help.
To hear the full story (it may make you worry), please visit the website right here.
For I know with your wishes, mine and the world's: Sarah, Khaled and their children may face no more fear.
Be with us, stand with us, hear us out on Twitter: @freekhaledaq
For together one day we'll get together and play, our kids, who will live that much better.

In November, the Edmonton Oilers captain gave $10,000 to Edmonton's Mennonite Centre for Newcomers to support their work in helping to resettle incoming Syrian refugees. The donation helped the group meet its two-month goal in a single day.
The Guelph businessman made headlines last month after stepping forward to say he intended to spend $1.5 million to privately sponsor 50 Syrian refugee families to come to Canada. Estill explained he was tired of seeing refugee applications get snarled in long, bureaucratic processes. "I'm a businessperson, I'm very impatient, and we should just do it now," he said.
"It's really good to know that we're so compassionate and that we want to help," said Darrell McLeod of St. Clare's refugee family sponsorship group. "Everybody's very excited about it. Everyone's been really excited to make things happen."
Westbank Developments founder Ian Gillespie is behind many of downtown Vancouver's glitziest skyscrapers.A descendant of Irish immigrants, he made a pledge in November to furnish a 12-unit West End apartment complex and open it to incoming refugees.

"I need to point out that the people who are desperate refugees are fleeing from the exact same people who perpetrated the kind of violence we saw in Paris and Beirut last week," the Calgary mayor told reporters a week after deadly attacks in France and Lebanon. "They're running away from the bad guys and, as such, we need to be able to open our arms to make sure that we can provide safety to these folks."
Christine Youssef (pictured) greets newly arrived Syrian relatives on a bus near Pearson International Airport in Mississauga on Dec. 11. Youssef and her mother are sponsoring 43 of their Syrian relatives to come to Canada. Thirteen have arrived and are staying at the family's small Scarborough, Ont. bungalow. Soon, nine of the relatives will move out, making room for more relatives to come in.
When CBC News reporter Eman Bare interviewed Mohamed Al-Noury, 21, and Athar Farroukh, 23, she realized the Syrian refugee couple had no wedding pictures. So Bare put a callout on soical media to surprise the high sweethearts with a wedding. Her request spread and within 24 hours people came forward donating a venue, suit, dress, and cake. "Grateful for a community that makes beautiful things happen," wrote Bare on Instagram below a photo taken at the couple's Saskatoon ceremony.

Many archives and local history collections in public libraries in England and Wales offer online census searches and also hold microfilm or fiche census returns.
The 1851 census of England and Wales attempted to identify religious places of worship in addition to the household survey census returns.
Prior to the 1911 census the household schedule was destroyed and only the enumerator's schedule survives.
The 1911 census of England and Wales was taken on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911 and in addition to households and institutions such as prisons and workhouses, canal boats merchant ships and naval vessels it attempted to include homeless persons. The schedule was completed by an individual and for the first time both this record and the enumerator's schedule were preserved.
Two forms of boycott of the census by women are possible due to frustration at government failure to grant women the universal right to vote in parliamentary and local elections. The schedule either records a protest by failure to complete the form in respect of the women in the household or women are absent due to organisation of groups of women staying away from home for the whole night. Research estimates that several thousand women are not found by census search.

Broken Promise
I am so sick and tired
Of you saying that
You aren't going to hurt me
Or any other girl
It's a lie.
It's impossible.
It's a promise already broken.
I've been blind.
All this time,
I didn't see.
You were being a jerk
To me
To him
To her.
Cut the crap!
We're your best friends!
I don't want to be ignored
Or treated like a piece of trash
Or to feel unloved.
I want to fly into a rage
And take it out on you.
I want to hurt you.
I want to scream.

All reader reviews by Steve Manson
I wonder if some of these reviewers ate at the same place that 4 of my friends and I had dinner. We found Aperitivo is Italian unique, the food excellent and the personnel engaging and very helpful. As for the size of the portions, we generally ran out of stomach room before we ran out of food. Every dish was tasty, well prepared and presented, and certainly different. We're looking forward to eating there again.

The Blazers new G.M. needs to suspend the notion that Portland can build around LaMarcus Aldridge and become a contender. Aldridge is not a player that you can build around – he is a nice complementary piece to a championship puzzle – but LaMarcus Aldridge will never be "The Man". Aldridge is basically the same player he was five seasons ago, except that he has added a more complete offensive repertoire and shoots a slightly higher percentage. Five years ago, in his second season, Aldridge averaged 17.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks while shooting 48.4% from the field and 76.2% from the line. He's bumped those averages up slightly, reaching career highs in field goal shooting (51.2%), free throws (81.4%) and assists (2.4), while averaging 21.7 points and 8 rebounds this season. But, this is the season he was suppose to take over for Brandon Roy and make it his team, to raise up his game to a new level and become a bonafide superstar. That didn't happen. We have s...

Worms 2
Reviewed by Yuri Storchak
Genre and what to do:Strategy game. You are a head of a team of worms. There is a great amount of weapons to use. The main task is to kill a similarly armed team of worms. Your soldiers must collect care packages which fall from the sky throughout the game. The packages contain health, weaponry or a bomb. Choose one of worms, a type of weapon for him, aim and move it around the screen and then shoot your enemy. You can destroy not only the enemy team but everything in the game: ground, houses, girders, etc. If you are ready for a big action, try this game!
Style and atmosphere inside the game:The graphics is stunning. Everything is vivid and bright. The animations are great. The sound effects are cool. Listen to the great sounds of explosions. You can even customize the voices of your worms. Learn to play the game in five minutes, because the controls are very simple as well as the game's tasks. The longer you practice the better you play. Have much fun playing this game!

Fiddler on the Roof
Wearing a Yarmulke; really long weddings that involve breaking dishes; Bar Mitzvahs; Sabbath days; Passover and Hanukkah. Tradition. Emphasize thattradition. Based on the book by Joseph Stein, Fiddler on the Roof takes a look at the life of a milkman named Tevye living in the village of Anatevka. Sacred traditions and values are slipping through his grasp, reflected in the lives of his five daughters. Why a fiddler on a roof? Its a metaphor for the notion that even though life deals us aches and pains, survival can be found in the keeping of traditions. As far as the musical is concerned, Israeli actor Chaim Topol is the keeper of the long-time-running Fiddler tradition and has been playing the lead for decades. Come and enjoy, you will be a rich manin spirit at least.

Sports Accident Insurance

Call us on 01494 484800
10% OFF ALL Sports Travel INSURANCE In JANUARY!
For individuals taking part in archery within the UK our archery Sports Accident insurance policy should be considered for all round protection. The product offers various benefits including personal accident, income protection and personal liability insurance whilst participating in the sport of archery.
Individuals travelling abroad can take advantage of the Sports Travel insurance policy for archery which will cover those insured for medical expenses, repatriation and where required baggage and personal effects along with various other benefits.
Most travel insurance packages don't include cover for sport. If you already have travel insurance but it doesn't cover you for archery, then our Activity TopUp policy is perfect for you. Activity TopUp adds archery protection to your existing insurance, giving you benefits such as medical cover and personal liability at great value for money.
Archery involves the practice or skill of propelling an arrow with the use of a bow towards a round target marked with rings. Target archery may take place indoors or outdoors whilst field archery involves shooting up and downhill, making the target harder to sight. Nowadays archery is far removed from its hunting and warfare roots with many instructors offering target practice sessions for youngsters around the country.
Archery is a sport with a low reported incident of associated injury although it can be expected that injury does occur due to the repetitive nature of drawing a bow. From past surveys it has been concluded that the majority of injuries include damage of muscles and tendons of the upper limb relating to shoulder, elbow wrist and finger joints. The risk of serious injury or fatality as a direct result of participating in archery is extremely rare and for this reason the sport has been given a group 1 rating. Despite the low risk of the sport suitable insurance should still be taken out when practicing archery for protection against injuries.

As well as being one of Dublin's most popular tourist attractions, The Guinness Storehouse is also one of the Irish capital's most visually striking venues. Guests are greeted in a grand glass
atrium studded with imposing steel beams, and the dramatic modern design continues throughout the Storehouse's seven floors, on which various event spaces can be found. Event bookers can choose to
take over just one room, a whole floor or the entire building and the spaces are flexible enough to cater to conferences, exhibitions and training days as well as product launches, parties and
wedding receptions for between 20 and 2,000 guests. The venue's crowning glory is the Gravity Bar, a circular space perched seven storeys up with 360° views across the Dublin skyline. This space
comes into its own during evening receptions, when the city's twinkling lights make a dazzling vista. Tastings and tours can be included.

Broadband adoption in the home is slowing in the U.S. That's what the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project is saying in a fascinating report that is just out.
Sixty-six percent of American adults now have a broadband Internet connection at home, the report says, little changed from the 63% mark recorded a year ago. That follows years of double-digit growth.
What's more, Pew says that most demographic groups had flat to modest broadband adoption growth over the last year with one major exception: 56% of the African-American community now have broadband connections in the home, compared to 46% in 2009.
There are a variety of reasons why African-Americans are bucking the trend, starting with the notion that the group was starting out from a smaller base of users. But Pew's Senior Research Specialist Aaron Smith, the author of the report, also thinks African- Americans are now more likely to own cellphones, use the mobile Web and social media apps, and that Internet providers themselves may be more aggressive in targeting populations with historically lower adoption rates.
There were other key findings in the report: One in five adults do not use the Internet at all and of those many don't believe the online benefits they're missing out on are particularly relevant to their lives.
Meanwhile, a majority of people do not believe that lacking broadband puts folks at a disadvantage, whether they're trying to land a new job or career, gain health information, learn new things to enrich their lives, take advantage of government services, keep up with news and information or find out what's going on in their local communities.
And 53% of Americans said they don't believe the spread of affordable broadband ought to be a major government priority.
"As broadband technologies have been adopted in the majority of American homes, a debate has arisen about the role of government in stepping in to ensure availability to high-speed internet access for all Americans," Smith said . "The surprise is that non-users are the least inclined to think government has a role in the spread of broadband. It could be that the recession is causing Americans to prioritize other issues, or it could be general anti-government wariness. It could also stem from the fact that not many non-users are anxious to see government promoting technologies that they view as difficult to use and offering uncertain benefits."
The results are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International between April 29 and May 30, 2010, among a sample of 2,252 adults ages 18 and older, including 744 reached on a cell phone.

Discussion of a possible Anglican split is expected to take place at a meeting of the national synod of Nigeria which begins on Saturday 10 September. The next meeting is of Africa's primates in Tanzania from September 19 to 22. Finally, the special international conference for conservative Anglicans is being held in Cairo, Egypt, beginning on 25 October.
On Thursday 8 September the Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola and the Archbishop of Uganda, Henry Luke Orombi, made further critical comments about the Church of England House of Bishops statement on the Civil Partnership law.
At a news conference Archbishop Akinola reaffirmed his stand on gay issues and said: "If England adopts a new faith, alien to what has been handed to us together, they will walk apart. Simple as that,"
Archbishop Orombi said that Akinola "speaks for all of us" who lead the self-governing Anglican branches in Africa. "We see a different direction taking place" in England, he said, and "we can only pray and hope they do not walk away."
The two archbishops were in New York to receive awards from the online magazine Kairos Journal for "their bold and consistent stand" against the U.S. and Canadian churches. Honoured with them were Archbishops Gregory Venables of the Southern Cone and Datuk Yong Ping Chung of South East Asia. The magazine's publisher, retired American Standard Companies president Emmanuel Kampouris, said he hoped the awards would encourage Anglicans and others "fighting for orthodoxy."
None of the visitors met with Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold of the Episcopal Church of the USA.

Just received a really nice set of rosewood grips from Gideon, their condition was as good or better than what he described. The Post Office somehow dragged their feet delivering my payment to him but he was a true gentleman during the entire transaction and a pleasure to deal with. I'd do business with him again without hesitation.

Students and staff at Trask Middle School were safely evacuated this afternoon following the detection of smoke coming from the building's ceiling.
According to a New Hanover County Schools spokeswoman, the evacuation occurred at approximately 3:15 p.m.
The Wilmington Fire Department determined the smoke was caused by a malfunction in an HVAC unit on the roof over the cafeteria.
Students were dismissed for the day on Trask's regular schedule from outside the building, but all after-school activities have been cancelled. No one will be allowed back into the building for the rest of the day due to health and safety concerns.
The district's maintenance department is working to repair the HVAC unit, and classes are expected to resume as normal tomorrow morning.
Adjacent Laney High School was unaffected by the smoke.

Leaders can't decide on support for gay issue
BATON ROUGE- City leaders could not agree on backing a law that would eliminate a provision in state law outlawing sexual acts between people of the same gender.
House Bill 12 would change the crimes against nature law that was deemed unconstitutional, yet enforced by East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputies recently. Gay men were arrested for picking up other men in a park. After the incident, activists urged leaders to make changes to the law.
Wednesday, city leaders were set to discuss a resolution supporting House Bill 12 but failed to get enough votes to do so.
All but three council members voted against the resolution. C. Denise Marcelle, Ryan Heck and John Delgado support removing the unconstitutional provision. Delgado was very outspoken in the wake of the arrests of the gay men, too.
"I don't believe the council members voted with the voice of their constituents," Delgado said. He believes most voters in East Baton Rouge support House Bill 12, written by Pat Smith.
But, Tara Wicker said supporting the resolution meant creating a rift in the community and not supporting it made or sense and brought more people together.
"I believe we need to do things that bring our community together and not divide and that particular resolution was going to do just that," Wicker said.

Despite a taxing shift of drinking and dancing with a number of different guys, the Zimbabwean blonde looked remarkably chipper when she finally called it a day at 5am and headed off home with a male pal.
The night started respectably enough as Chelsy and her chums arrived at Whisky Mist, and were immediately whisked into the VIP section. As the drinks flowed and everyone started getting into the spirit of things, Chelsy hit the dancefloor - especially getting into it when Beyoncé's Single Ladies came on.
Our spy told us: "Chelsy was having great fun in the VIP room but she soon went out into the main dancefloor because that was where her friends were.
"She was dancing to Beyoncé's Single Ladies and Stevie Wonder's Superstition and was really going for it. She was shaking her booty against another female and male friend and was singing along to the tracks.
"At one point she stood by the bar and was talking to a male pal but then went back to her friends. She was drinking champagne for most of the night but managed to keep a level head."
Chelsy then decided to move her party onwards, settling the bar tab - which had topped £2,000 - and heading off to Raffles nightclub in Chelsea, where the drinking and dancing continued until the wee hours this morning.
Despite boogying with blokes all night, reports suggest that Chelsy might soon be back in the arms of her royal ex Prince Harry.
Insiders say that the pair have been keeping in touch via emails and texts, leading many to believe that they are to reunite after months apart.

Tide Pool Reader with 5 Useful Activites To Support Reading
*This post contains affiliated links
"An orca is part of the dolphin family," my oldest announced as were playing a game based on the Tide Pool Reader.
Being the know it all nature person (not really), I answered, "I don't think that is right."
"It is, I heard it on Wild Krats." he replied with a stubborn look in his eyes. With his no nonsense tone , he proceeded to go into detail about his favorite show, and all that he knows about the orca.
I still looked him skeptically, and responded with a "I think you misunderstood. Let's listen to it together next time. That way I can make sure you are understanding it."
I thought that would deter him, but he continued to persist that he was right. We grabbed the computer and did the only thing I could think of to prove him wrong. Goggle it!!!!
As we waited for the search results to appear, I was pretty confident that I was right. I grew up with the popular Shamu, a killer whale. Sheesh, it is right in the name…killer whale….how could I be wrong. The results flashed on the screen, and little fingers and excited voices told me exactly where to click. Then I saw it. The words that would prove mommy wrong and my six year old correct. Who knew that an orca, or a killer whale, is actually the largest member of the dolphin. Well obviously my six year old does, and with a little bit of embarrassment and probably some jealousy I have to admit that due to Wild Krats his animal knowledge has once again beat out my knowledge.
So how did we get to this wonderful, yet embarrassing conversation? Simple, we were playing a sight word sensory game with an ocean animals theme.
The day before this fun conversation we had tried our hand at coloring rice, and had made some beautiful ocean blue rice.
Though the kiddos enjoyed making the rice, getting to play with it was even more exciting. I allowed them a few minutes to just play with the rice before we began the game, and then had them bury the game cards with the sight words and animals on them. Now we were ready to play our Sensory Sight Word Game.
How to Play
Step one, if your child needs it, review the sight words found on the board or on the word cards.
Next bury the sight words in any type of sensory material, though we loved the look of the blue rice.
Grab some game pieces, and begin the game by having player one close his eyes, reach into the sensory bin and grab a card. If it a word card, the player reads it aloud and moves up the board one space at a time until he/she reaches the word on the card. I highly recommend having them read the sight words as they move up the board, since this gives them more practice.
If the player grabs an animal, the player moves to where that animal is on the board. Beware, this could mean they have to go back to the beginning if they draw that ever famous orca.
The game ends when a player draws a word card and can go all the way to end without them landing on the word they drew.
What's Next
Though we all enjoyed the game, the sensory sight word game was designed to support my four year old as we moved into our tide pool reader. This reader has a simple text about what you can find in a tide pool, and what you can't find. All the sight words in the book are found in the game, making it easy for my little four year old to read.
After reading it, I handed him a stack of cut out words to put in a pocket chart. Using his tide pool reader he put the words in order giving him more practice with the sight words we have been working on.
After having experience with the tide pool reader twice, I gave him a cut and paste activity (we did not do this all in one setting). Using his reader once again he sorted out the animals into two categories; those that you can find in a tide pool and those you can't.
Then we moved into a comprehension worksheet. This was a little more challenging for him because the answers are not in the text. We successfully made it through it though, and I was encouraged to see him thinking about the text.
To give him one exposure to the sight words, we did a sight word search. My oldest wanted in on it too, and before long I was hearing the inevitable.
"I only have two left. How many do you have?"
"I have three left. I still have four to go, but I'm still going to beat you."
Despite the embarrassing conversation during our Sight Word game, we had fun practicing our reading skills with this Tide Pool Reader and activities. I would love to hear how it goes for you.

It didn't take Detroit Police very long to find the hottest stolen BMW in the U.S. -- the $95,000 BMW 7 Series flagship sedan absconded after use as a VIP shuttle.
WXYZ-TV in Detroit says the car turned up on the city's West Side under a blanket of snow. You can see the TV reports by clicking here or viewing it above. It was pretty much intact except that the wires to the car's tracking system had been snipped.
As Drive On reported yesterday, this BMW was taken in front of the swanky Westin Book Cadillac hotel near the convention center where the North American International Auto Show is being held. It was one of 19 BMW 750s being used to ferry VIPs. Two thieves apparently snatched it as it was being brought up to be loaded on a carrier and taken out of town.

Liberal Opinion Week
For those of you confused over the latest fight between President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, let me make it simple: Barack Obama and John Kerry admire and want to preserve Israel as a Jewish and democratic state in the Land of Israel. I have covered this issue my entire adult life and have never met two U.S. leaders more committed to Israel as a Jewish democracy.
But they are convinced — rightly — that Netanyahu is a leader who is forever dog paddling in the middle of the Rubicon, never ready to cross it. He is unwilling to make any big, hard decision to advance or preserve a two-state solution if that decision in any way risks his leadership of Israel's right-wing coalition or forces him to confront the Jewish settlers, who relentlessly push Israel deeper and deeper into the West Bank.

Even before Donald Trump's inauguration as president, Congress is planning to escalate the clash over the U.N. Security Council's anti-Israel resolution into a full-on conflict between the United States and the United Nations. If Trump embraces the strategy -- and all signals indicate he will -- the battle could become the Trump administration's first confrontation with a major international organization, with consequential but largely unpredictable results.
Immediately after the Obama administration abstained Friday from a vote to condemn Israeli settlements as illegal, which passed the Security Council by a vote of 14 to 0, Republicans and Democrats alike criticized both the United Nations and the U.S. government for allowing what Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., called "a one-sided, biased resolution." Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee for the State Department and foreign operations, pledged to lead an effort to withhold the U.S. funding that makes up 22 percent of the U.N.'s annual operating budget.
CNN this week aired a terrific segment on people from coal country who voted for Donald Trump - but are now worried that his vow to repeal Obamacare will deprive them of crucial protections that enable them to stay afloat financially. This dovetails with other reporting that suggests a lot of Trump voters may be harmed by repeal of the law.
Which raises a question: Did voters such as these know they were voting for this? After all, Trump promised countless times throughout the campaign to repeal the Affordable Care Act, didn't he? If they are complaining about this now, don't they have only themselves to blame?
No. I'm going to argue that, while Trump did repeatedly vow repeal, these voters were absolutely right to conclude that he would not leave them without the sort of federal protections they enjoy under Obamacare. That's because Trump did, in fact, clearly signal to them that this would not happen.
Donald Trump's appeal in northern industrial states was an economic message of bringing back growth to stagnant communities. He also won in part with a tough line on immigration. Newly released Census data indicate that when it comes to making policy, he'll have to choose between those agendas.
Much of the blame for the hollowing out of the Midwest has been placed on the decline of manufacturing, but sluggish population growth has played a big role as well. Slower population growth means fewer new households, which means less demand for housing, restaurants, teachers, health-care workers and all other economic activity. While Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin account for 12.4 percent of the U.S. population, in 2016 they accounted for just 1 percent of the country's population growth. Pennsylvania's population actually shrank by over 7,000 people.
Hungary, my country, has in the past half-decade morphed from an exemplary post-Cold War democracy into a populist autocracy. Here are a few eerie parallels that have made it easy for Hungarians to put Donald Trump on their political map: Prime Minister Viktor Orban has depicted migrants as rapists, job-stealers, terrorists and "poison" for the nation, and built a vast fence along Hungary's southern border. The popularity of his nativist agitation has allowed him to easily debunk as unpatriotic or partisan any resistance to his self-styled "illiberal democracy," which he said he modeled after "successful states" such as Russia and Turkey.
No wonder Orban feted Trump's victory as ending the era of "liberal non-democracy," "the dictatorship of political correctness" and "democracy export." The two consummated their political kinship in a recent phone conversation; Orban is invited to Washington, where, they agreed, both had been treated as "black sheep."
One of the hallmarks of our democratic system is its commitment to the peaceful transition of power. This practice comes with two important, linked corollaries that fall under the umbrella that there can be only one president at a time. The first is that the incoming president, especially in the arena of foreign policy, takes care not to trespass on the prerogatives of the incumbent. The second is that the outgoing president, once departed, remains largely mute, giving his successor space to operate unimpeded by post-presidential backseat carping.
President-elect Donald Trump must have missed this memo. Not bothering to wait for the constitutionally mandated handover, Trump has inserted himself into policy-making, from bullying U.S. manufacturers to barging into foreign affairs, including shaking up U.S.-China policy and intruding into the Obama administration's dealings with Israel at the United Nations.
This public tussling is as disturbing as it is unprecedented.
In a 2015 survey, only 6 percent of Americans said that things in the world are getting better. This is not a surprise. Americans remain deeply pessimistic about the direction of their country and the world. But what if this view fails to account for much evidence to the contrary? What if Americans' failure to know the facts about progress becomes in itself a barrier to further progress?
That is the message of some recent findings by Our World in Data, an online publication of the University of Oxford. Since 1930, the global rate of extreme poverty has fallen from 75 percent to 10 percent. The literacy rate has increased from 30 percent to 85 percent. Child mortality has been reduced by a factor of 10. Democracy has flourished; colonialism has almost disappeared. Education rates have soared, and population growth has slowed to the point where it could be zero by the end of the century.
Soon after I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in my late 20s, I remember looking for stories of people who were living successful lives with the condition. I had been through the trauma of losing touch with reality, a symptom of my illness during manic episodes, and needed to find examples of people who could show me that it got better, that I could find stability. Carrie Fisher was one of the first celebrities I learned also had bipolar disorder, and she had found a way to cope: through writing, performing and talking openly about her mental illness. Her openness was inspiring, refreshing and motivated me to start writing about my illness, too.
What impressed me the most about the way Fisher spoke about the horrific and unpredictable ups and downs of bipolar disorder, and also her battle with drugs and alcohol, was how she did so without shame. She admitted it took her a long time to get to that point, but once she did there was no looking back. Fisher had pride for her struggle. She turned her "issues" into consumable entertainment in the form of books and plays for which she received rave reviews and awards.
I was devastated by the news of Carrie Fisher's passing. Fisher was so many things: a writer, an actor, a script doctor, an author and one of the funniest women out there. She spoke frankly about her struggle with drugs and mental illness, letting people know it was OK to have flaws. She laughed at her own struggles, tweeting in 2011, "If my life wasn't funny it would just be true and that is unacceptable." Part of what she laughed at was the fame she earned playing Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" films. It was not all she was, but the role she played changed everything for me, and for millions of little girls around the world.
Back in the 1970s, girls didn't have a lot of strong role models in mainstream entertainment. The women we saw in films and on TV were waiting to be rescued or draped artistically over the hero. They were decoration, or prizes to be won. We read books and fairy tales where the only accomplishment of the lead female was to be lovely enough to catch someone's eye. Even the smart ones were smart only until they found a man.
Fifty years ago, the U.S. had the moon to itself. Starting in 1969, when the first of six Apollo missions touched down, it seemed likely that American astronauts would make a long-term home on the lunar surface. Instead, the U.S. sent its last manned mission there in 1972, and won't be returning anytime soon. That's a shame: The moon is now a more compelling destination than ever.
Other countries, seeing new scientific and commercial potential there, have started to fill the exploration gap, including China, Russia and Japan. Perhaps the most ambitious effort is the European Space Agency's "moon village," which is intended to be a permanent international outpost on the lunar surface. In recent weeks, the concept has gained considerable momentum as Europe's science ministers and private space companies have embraced it.
If the U.S. wants to join them, and resume its historic role as the leader in lunar exploration, it'll need a major shift in priorities.

The Black Rose
I wrote this to make it sound like a story. How it turned out surprised me.
The black rose grows
And sings in the wind
Shows for the first year.
Yet as the equinox shows and comes
The rose starts to disappear
As it starts to vanish
The royals start to wonder why
So they get who they can to answer the questions everyone wanted
But as they tried no one could figure
This complicated riddle
Until a small child, simply said
Hate is the cause of so much,
You must be blind not to see
But she was just a child
So the royals just told her off
As the year continued on
As time went by
The field once filled
With the flower so black
And full of beauty
Only one rose was left
As the royals came to pray
By the rose
They saw the child
That gave them that warning
A year before
Lying beside the withering rose
With an arrow in her
And a note covered in red
And as they opened the blood soaked page
They read
Hate is the cause of destruction
So I take, away the rose, once cherished
And replace it by a rose
That is the colour of my blood
So you shall always remember
The death you have caused
Because you couldn't see
Something as simple as thee
I give you this flower to remember the love you have lost
And might never receive again
They dropped the soaked sheet
And fell to their knees
As they saw
The black rose, wither and die
And turn into a red rose
Filled with the hate they have caused.
