Baby names from ancient cultures
Sick of uber modern baby names like Zayden and Azure? Go way back in time with Sabrina Rogers-Anderson to dust off some of the oldest appellations.
Forget vintage baby names from our grandparents' generation – if you want something truly unique, you have to go back much further in history.
Whichever of the following monikers you choose for your baby, there's a good chance they'll be the only one in their class.
Ancient girls' names
1. Aurelia
Meaning 'the golden one', Aurelia was popular during the heyday of the Roman Empire. Its soft, feminine appeal makes it just as well-suited to modern babies.
2. Damiane
The female version of Damian, meaning 'to tame', comes to us from Ancient Greece and would likely suit the strong, silent type.
3. Flavia
Another Roman offering, this lovely name would be perfect for a little blonde-haired girl as Flavia means 'golden'.
4. Gaia
In Greek mythology, Gaia was the goddess of the earth and the universal mother, making it a beautiful choice for parents who feel a strong connection to the earth.
5. Gwenore
A variation of the old Welsh name Guinevere, Gwenore is an interesting alternative that can be shortened to the more modern Gwen.
6. Justina
Latin in origin, Justina was the feminine version of the popular boy's name Justin, before Justine took over.
7. Laelia
A subtle twist on the popular Layla/Laila, this old Latin label is original without being too unusual.
8. Severina
Similar to the more popular Serena, this name sounds as ancient as they come. But its meaning, 'stern and serious', won't please all parents.
Ancient boys' names
1. Andreas
This might sound like the Spanish version of Andrew, but it's actually the Ancient Greek form meaning 'strong and manly'.
2. Atticus
You'd presume no-one had dusted off this mummified moniker in thousands of years, but celebrity couples including Daniel Baldwin and Isabella Hofmann have recently revived it.
3. Cato
Long associated with Kato Kaelin of OJ Simpson-murder-trial fame, The Hunger Games character Cato has breathed new life into this name meaning 'all-knowing'.
4. Cyrus
Originally the founder of the Persian Empire, Cyrus has the makings of a name that could shoot up the ranks any day now.
5. Felix
Meaning 'happy and fortunate', Felix has been popular from Ancient Rome to the movie Twilight – it never seems to go out of style.
6. Marcus
This might sound thoroughly modern, but it's actually been around since Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius made it famous.
7. Rufus
A few years ago, I would've thought this Ancient Roman name was thoroughly uncool, but Gossip Girl character Rufus Humphrey made it grow on me.
8. Timon
If you can get past the association with Simba's meerkat companion in The Lion King, Timon is actually quite a nice Ancient Greek name meaning 'honour'.

This Miley Cyrus/Sinead O'Connor Mash Up Is Actually Pretty Awesome [Video]
Miley Cyrus and Sinead O'Connor have been publicly feuding after Sinead said that Miley was allowing herself to be prostituted out by the music industry and Miley responded by calling Sinead crazy. It's been talked about all over the place and was even mentioned this weekend when Miley was on "Saturday Night Live". But, if one good thing is going to come out of this weird feud I never thought would happen, it'll be this video of Sinead's "Nothing Compares To You" mashed together with Miley's "Wrecking Ball".
Now, going into this video, I really didn't think that I would hear anything that I liked. Turns out the two songs work pretty well together! And mostly it looks like a weird montage of pale white ladies crying, but if you can get past that, it's pretty amazing. The song is being referred to as "Nothing Compares To Wrecking Ball" and was put together by Robin Skouterus.

The City of Puyallup achieved greater-than-expected savings by refinancing portions of three prior bond issues.
As part of the refinancing process, the city sold a total of $13.5 million of bonds on Jan. 29, to replace existing debt. The sale resulted in a net savings of $754,833 during the next 13 years. While the city set a 3 percent minimum savings goal, the actual savings achieved by the refinancing was roughly 5.5 percent due to the favorable bond market.
Mayor Rick Hansen stated, "It is our aim to prudently manage the resources our community has entrusted us with, and refinancing debt at lower interest rates has helped achieve that goal."
City Finance Director Cliff Craig added, "Our timing in the market was very good. Because interest rates are still among the lowest in 45 years, the city was able to achieve a net savings that exceeded our goal."
D.A. Davidson & Co. in Seattle served as bond underwriter.
The city's "AA" rating on the utility revenue bonds and "AA-" rating on the general obligation bonds, both from Standard & Poor's, also contributed to the success of the sale.
S&P cited the city utility's strong financial metrics, minimal future financing needs, good management practices, and the city's financial performance as credit factors supporting the strong ratings.

Virginia is coming off of a season it would just as soon like to forget. Finishing 2013 with a 7-8 record, the Cavaliers missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004. Their eight losses included three by one goal, one an overtime battle with new in-conference ACC rival Syracuse.
Despite the struggles, Virginia had a chance up until its last game of the year, the ACC Championship game against North Carolina, to finish above .500 and at least be in the bracket discussion. In a season without a whole lot of positives to take away, something can be said for the effort and hard work put into each game despite less than stellar results.
Coach Dom Starsia consistently praised the effort of the 2013 team, even when the results were not matching with the inputs. "What distinguished themselves about last year's team is the way they held up when things weren't going great. That's what you admired about that 2013 team," Starsia said, noting that is something the 2014 squad will have to deal with. "This group still has to face some obstacles and we'll see how we endure. I feel like we are off to a good start."
Injuries were a big issue that plagued the Cavaliers last season, the biggest being the loss of solo captain and "human clear" Chris LaPierre to a preseason knee injury. "Shocker" is now back, along with redshirt freshman Carlson Milikin.
IL visited Charlottesville for a recent practice for our Fall All-Access series, days before the Cavs faced Princeton in the San Francisco Lacrosse Classic. Check out photos from Caroline Darney above and below, and more of the fall series here.
Starsia appreciates the overall improved health of his squad as their fallball season came to a close this past weekend. "We've had a really good fall. There was a practice session last fall where we had 11 guys on the sideline, and we haven't had any of that, knock on wood. But we've been healthy and practicing well and practicing pretty hard. So, in that regard things have gone well, gone pretty smoothly. We still have some question marks going forward, but I also think we've made a lot of progress. So far so good."
As for those question marks, a big one stands between the pipes for the Cavaliers. Last season, Virginia started its campaign behind first-year player Dan Marino, who started hot with 15 saves in an overtime victory against alway-tough Drexel. From there, however, Marino struggled and eventually was replaced by sophomore Rhody Heller following the Cornell loss.
"I would have told anybody, and I told our goalies at the end of last spring, we have to be better in the goal," Starsia says. "I don't think there's any question if we will be better in goal, the question is how much better will we be."
That goalie spot is very much up for grabs this season, and according to Starsia, freshman Under Armour All-American Matt Barrett is "definitely in the mix."
In Virginia's fallball scrimmage against Princeton in the San Francisco Lacrosse Classic last Saturday, both Heller and Barrett saw time in the cage and made some stops. Marino did not play due to a recently suffered broken hand, but he is expected to be back for the spring. Heller, Barrett, and senior Matt Robertson switched in cage throughout practice, each making some great saves in the various drills, while also working on clears with the defensive unit.
Along with Barrett, several other first-year players are expected to contribute significantly this spring, especially on attack. Ryan Lukacovic has had an impressive fall, starting against Princeton and notching two goals. AJ Fish, a 6-foot-3 attackman out of Illinois, has also made an impact on Starsia with his play in the fall.
The biggest mystery surrounding the Virginia program this season, however, is the addition of freshman points-machine Zed Williams out of Silver Creek (N.Y.). A member of the Seneca tribe, Williams shattered just about every goals, assists, and points records imaginable, finishing high school with 729 points on 444 goals and 285 assists. While his numbers may be loud, his personality is just the opposite.
"He is such an incredibly quiet, unassuming kid, that you can't help but like him," Starsia stated with a smile.
Williams brings added speed and athleticism to the midfield for the Wahoos, and will definitely be a player to watch as the season progresses. For now, the first-years are trying to get accustomed to college life, paired with taking that step to playing on a big-time lacrosse team.
"The coaches and all the seniors have been awesome integrating the freshmen and the younger guys into the team and the concepts we've been running in practice," Lukacovic said after practice last week. "It's definitely a change going from high school to your first couple weeks in school, but after you spend a couple days getting used to the work and transitioning and getting used to practice, I think it's a pretty smooth transition once you get used to everything. It has been fun so far."
Will McNamara, a highly-touted recruit who took a redshirt last year, is not on the Cavs' roster.
That integration is also helped by a brotherly connection on the team. Senior captain Rob Emery's little brother, Matt, is a first-year midfielder on the team this season. The younger Emery did not play in Virginia's scrimmage against Princeton due to a minor injury, but Rob got the chance to enjoy playing in the Emerys' hometown of San Francisco, scoring a goal in the 11-8 win.
Virginia not only has new players this fall, but also a new coach. Joe Starsia joined the Cavalier coaching staff this offseason after John Walker was picked up by Princeton to be their defensive coordinator. Starsia had previously spent time coaching at Lynchburg (his alma mater), Dickinson and Colgate before coming to Charlottesville.
Dom Starsia is excited about having his son on staff, but said it is also very different. "He went away as my son seven or eight years ago and came back as a colleague. He spoke at the national meetings last winter and afterwards I was like, 'Wow.' So I find myself in practice when he has got an end of the field or he is talking to the group or whatever, I find myself just stepping back and listening."
Some have even said Joe looks and sounds just like his old man, but coach Starsia isn't buying it, saying, "I'll be honest, I just don't see it."
Joe Starsia will be inheriting a strong, veteran defense, complete with a solid lineup of d-middies and LSMs to help the cause. Senior captain Scott McWilliams anchors the D, supported by Greg Danseglio and last year's ACC Freshman of the Year Tanner Scales. LaPierre, Milikin, Blake Riley and captain Bobby Hill will take SSDM duties, while transfers Joe Lisicky (Lynchburg) and Nate Menninger (Hamilton) can contribute at longstick or close.
McWilliams is a fantastic role model for the young defensemen, and is also a help to the fifth-year transfers. His presence in practice was noticeable in drills and his communication was impeccable.
"[We are] much more experienced [on defense] than we have been in previous years. I think in the obvious choices of McWilliams, Scales, Danseglio, Ottenbreit, we've got good experience and ability there." Starsia said. "With shortsticks, we had only really had Bobby [Hill] and Blake [Riley] last year, but we have Shocker [LaPierre] and Milikin back to help us out there so we are much more athletic. Certainly should be a strength of the team going in."
McWilliams echoes his coach's opinion on the seniority of the defense this season, commenting, "It's nice to have a little veteran group down there. Definitely experience-wise, everyone has a couple of games under their belt. Besides that, I think it's a little more natural for everyone, so we're not starting from step one as it usually is with new kids coming into the group."
As for LaPierre, there are some differing opinions on just how ready he is.
"Well, I don't think he's 100% yet." Starsia said. "He's 100% running in a straight line up the field. In scrimmages, when he gets the ball on the defensive end, he is an impressive force running up the field. He's in great shape right now."
Shocker's opinion? "Ready to go. 100%. As close to 100 as it will ever be."
LaPierre went full speed at practice, consistently out in front and an example for the underclassmen, but one thing still unanswered is whether or not he will need the knee brace in the spring. "That's to be determined." LaPierre said, smiling. "I'm trying to get out of it now, so I think we are just being careful with how much time we have, but I think I could run out here today without it."
Hands-down the best drill of the day came from the face-off unit. Volunteer assistant Tim McDermott had his guys play a game of 'Hungry, Hungry FOGO' in which he scattered a bunch of balls on the ground behind the guys and they scrambled to get up to get them into a nearby ball bag. Mick Parks and Tyler German return for the Wahoos to the face-off X, and Thompson Brown and Jeff Kratky join the party this season.
While last Wednesday's practice was shorter due to their impending trip west, fundamentals were hammered home and each player dug deep. Milikin was impressive on defense, rarely giving any ground and showing what an asset he will be. Practice closed out with some sprints, and as Starsia predicted, LaPierre and Williams led the pack.
For this group, there is a lot to prove.
"I think we're pretty positive overall coming in to this year," LaPierre says. "Everyone has more of a sense of urgency. I think obviously last year we were a little disappointed with the results so I think anytime a team like this doesn't make the playoffs, everyone comes back with a little chip on their shoulder."
Starsia agrees, noting that February cannot come soon enough for this bunch.
"Virginia Lacrosse doesn't often get a chance to sneak up on people. We've got a bunch of guys that are anxious to get back to it and get playing. I think it's contributed to the edge we have in practice on a regular basis. I think we're all looking forward to facing off in the spring."
What will be Virginia's keys to success?
"I think we need James Pannell to have a big year," Starsia said. "For me, it's more Pannell who comes back as a second year and healthier and will give us another threat on the attack besides Cockerton. … And then our play in the goal. If you're asking me to name a person, I'd call that person 'goalie person.' So, the 'goalie person' and Pannell to me are probably two of the key guys we need to have in order to have a big year."

Need help
Hello everyone, my name is Joe and I am new to this. I was searching the internet to find a solution to my problem and saw a topic on split switches.
My problem is I have a dishwasher and garbage disposal sharing a split switch.
I have 5 wires a black, red, 2 whites and one ground. I also have a switch to turn on the garbage disposal. I have tried to connect the wire several times, with no luck. Once I get my garbage disposal to work properly with the switch, my dishwasher will not work. When I switched the wires around my dishwasher would only work when I turned on the switch for the garbage disposal. I would appreciate any and all help. I know black and red are hot, whites are neutral, the other is my ground. Thank you in advanced Joe
Well joe...according to my Electrician...that is how it is suppose to be, due to the fact that the Dishwasher is always hot and the disposal is split. Unless you install 2 seperate boxes for each, i.e. one constant for the disposal and one for the switch. Major work for a non elecrtician.
Is this something you found or is this something you are adding on?
The five wires you describe are not enough for a power feed, the line going over to the dishwasher, and the line going over to the disposer. You need to give more information including how wires are grouped into cables.
You may have what is called a home run service to this box where one cable from the electrical panel has three wires and a bare ground. The white is neutral and the black is one 110v circuit and the red is a second 110v circuit that share the white/neutral. You can veriry this if you measure the voltage potential on the black and the red. If you get 220v then you have this "Home Run" circuit. It still sounds having two whites, unless someone has run a single conductor. Oh, are these cables in the box romex? Need more information.

It would appear the 5 wires you are speaking about are for the split receptacle under the sink. I drew up this diagram for an example ... so is this what you have....? If this isn't what you have then are you talking about wanting both halves of the receptacle switched from a combination device (two switches) up on the wall above the countertop?
re:need help
Thanks to all that replied, especially you Stubbie for the diagram. My problem is fixed. What is forgot to do was to break the connection between the hot wires (red top) and (black bottom). The other problem I had was one of the neutral wires (the switch ) for the garbage disposal was not being used at the switch, thus did not need to be used at the outlet.
Everything is working good now. Thanks again, Joe

Your welcome Joe. I will only add... be sure that you are using a double pole breaker in your panel so the shared neutral will not get overloaded. Sometimes people use tandem breakers which are two breakers but in a single space single pole configuration this is not what you want when doing multiwires. You need to use double pole breakers so that you connect to opposite legs of the electrical service that way current doesn't add on the shared neutral.
Now having said all that it sounds like maybe you just have a half switched receptacle with power coming into the switch first then red,black and white going to the receptacle. If that is the case then you are just operating the disposal and dishwasher on the same single pole breaker in the panel and sounds like you got it figured out. You might be more like this....

Christa and Adam were married on the beach at the Henlopen Hotel in Rehoboth Beach, Del. on July 5. The bride looked radiant in a one-shoulder sheath gown with her hair in a partial updo. She carried a bouquet of baby's breath, hydrangeas, and alstroemerias. Her 'maids donned short, periwinkle dresses and carried baby's breath bouquets. The groom looked dapper in gray dress pants and a matching vest. He sported a purple and blue checkered plaid tie. His groomsmen wore gray dress pants, suspenders, and periwinkle ties. The intimate crowd of family and friends gathered on the beach to watch Christa and Adam exchange vows in front of a white arch decorated with flowers. Glass bubble terrariums filled with sand and hydrangeas served as aisle markers, and guests sat in white folding chairs. They blew bubbles at the couple as they recessed down the aisle! A reception followed at the hotel where guests enjoyed passed appetizers and champagne during the cocktail hour, followed by a delicious dinner. The reception included sand-filled candles, lanterns, and sea glass, among other beach-themed decor. The personalized napkins had the phrase "Eat Drink Celebrate" printed on them, and guests enjoyed a tier of sugar-coated brownies for dessert. The seaside day was full of love and lifelong memories were created.

ceiling fan
I would love to.put a ceiling in my living room but my husband isn't anxious about climbing into the attic to anchor it. He's not really that handy. I was wondering if a fan could be hung like light fixture, by a chain. Have to saw hole to wire then hang fan. Obviously, the ceiling would have to have a joist to hang chain
n with cord near outlet.
Sorry that won't work---the twisting of the fan on start up will cause trouble.
There are special boxes with an expanding screw bracket thatcan be instaled from below,through the hole you cut for the box.
However,you must still go up in the attic to wire it.
Have you called an electrician?

This API doesn't yet exist. I do agree it would be useful (necessary) for users who have a customized deletion policy that keeps around certain prior commits, and wants to selectively open readers against these past commits. I like your proposed methods; I can take this. On reopen(): I think if you call this on an IndexReader explicitly opened against a prior commit, it should just upgrade to the latest commit? Also, if you open an explicit commit, it's entirely possible you'll hit an IOException because that commit was deleted after you listed it and before you opened it. Normally, IndexReader.open would retry in such a case (to get the new commit), but it would not do so, and just throw the IOException, if given an explicit commit to open.

Kimchi Fried Rice
This sizzling dish packs the heat and flavor.
By Katie Pollock Estes
DISCLAIMER: The information in this article was fact checked and accurate at press time, but 417 Magazine cannot guarantee its accuracy indefinitely.
The kimchi fried rice at Koriya (4121 S. Fremont Ave. Ste. 128, 417-882-0077) is a sizzling hot bowl of true love. Delicious and indulgent fried rice is cooked with pungent and spicy kimchi for a dish that's simple in construction but packed with a ton of flavor. And it's all served in a hot stone bowl, which means it comes to the table piping hot. The rice is topped with shredded beets and a sprinkling of seaweed. The seaweed adds the tiniest hint of flavor variation and goes perfectly with that hot, hot kimchi.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Hello . I am an immigrant who have overstayed his tourist visa here in the US since childhood . I have just married a US citizen friend of mine whom I've known since the 1990s , and we are looking for help with adjustment of status . One thing that troubles me after researching on line on different places , is that I've claimed US citizenship on work applications ever since I started working in 2005 after graduating from junior college , because I had to work to survive , and don't know what else to put on those I - e's because I have no CG or anything else . . . . and from my research , that factor could kill any chance i have of earning a green card , even with my legitimate marriage . Is that true , and is there anything I could do ? thank you .
Falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen for any purpose or benefit under the Immigration and Nationality Act or federal or state law can result in a permanent unwaivable bar to admission, including adjustment of status.
Whether your past statements would in fact trigger this bar requires a detailed and careful analysis.
This is a public forum. Your statements above could cause you problems even if under the true facts you did not trigger this bar.
The answer above is only general in nature and cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known and detailed research has not been undertaken. It is your responsibility to retain a lawyer to analyze the facts specific to your particular situation in order to give you specific advice. Specific answers require an investigation into all facts about your case. Any answers offered on Avvo are of a general nature only and are not meant to create an attorney-client relationship. Use these answers at your own risk.Ask a similar question
Yes. Falsely claiming to U.S. citizenship is one of the greatest impediments to Adjustment of Status and Naturalization. You may have a way out if you can show that the questions were ambiguous and you thought you were claiming to be a U.S. national or depending on how young you were when you first arrived in the U.S., that you thought you were born here. However, you cannot do that if you run around posting admissions on website like Avvo. Good luck to you.

Mr. Murray's response is NOT legal advice and does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. You should NOT rely on this response. Mr. Murray's response was generated without conducting a full inquiry as would occur during a face to face attorney-client consultation. It is likely that the response above may be made less accurate, or become entirely inaccurate, as you, i.e. the questioner, disclose additional facts that should only be discussed during a private consultation with an attorney. I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state (or, in the case of immigration law, and attorney in ANY state), whereupon all relevant facts will be discussed.

By falsely claiming US citizenship you exposed yourself to a lifetime bar for which there is no waiver. You need to see an attorney in person.

Law Office of Alena Shautsova , New York Immigration Attorney http://www.shautsova.com Blog: http://www.russianspeakinglawyerny.comAsk a similar question
You need to see an immigration attorney before you file anything with USCIS. As my colleagues have mentioned, claiming to be a US citizen, even on an I-9 form, can bar you from receiving immigration benefits for life. There is no waiver of this ground of inadmissibility available. Prior to 2009, the I-9 form asked if you were a citizen or national of the United States. So, if you checked yes, the argument could be made that you were only falsely claiming to be a US national. Falsely claiming to be a US national does not carry the same consequences as a false claim to citizenship. The I-9 form now has a separate box if you are claiming to be a non-citizen national, so you cannot make this argument.
Further, it is worth noting that even absent the false claim issue, adjustment of status based on marriage is an immigration benefit only available to individuals living in a bona fide marital union with a US citizen. Having a legal marriage to a friend, without the intent to live as husband and wife, is not adequate.
Finally, you should not post such admissions in a public forum. Such discussions are best had in the privacy of an attorney's office, where the things you say will remain confidential.

Today I was able to snap some photos of animals. My two favorite types of photography are flowers/nature, and animals. I'm actually not that excited by taking photos of the food I make..mostly because I need to work on lighting,set up,and everything else that drives me nuts. Everything is already present when taking photos of animals and nature in general.
I sometimes have mixed emotions about petting zoos. I love that I am able to get up close with some of the animals, but at the same time I feel so bad for them. I wonder if they ever get a chance to roam out in a big open space without screaming kids trying to get their attention.
I sometimes feel trapped like they do..always looking on the outside and wondering if I will ever get my chance to break free.

New Tacomans don't remember when the Tacoma Aroma was more than a Seattle-driven catchphrase to diss its smaller sibling.
Tacoma stunk. Industries on the waterfront were filling the sky with rotten-egg-smelling chemicals like hydrogen sulfide.
Commencement Bay was once considered one of the most polluted bodies of water in the country. It is now a national model of restoration of urban waterways. The journey from being a Superfund site to the envy of other restoration efforts is 25 years old this month.
"What we see today is a healthy habitat that stemmed from hard work and cooperation among the company and community partners with a steadfast commitment to restoring our urban bays." Dave McEntee, Simpson Tacoma Craft Co.
Simpson Tacoma Kraft Co. marked that transformation with tours of the St. Paul Waterway beach for workers, their families, environmentalists and officials up and down the ranks who led the restoration and Superfund cleanup project. The cardboard and lumber maker sits at ground zero of the cleanup.
"When we purchased the pulp and paper mill in 1985, the shoreline had been polluted for more than 60 years," said Dave McEntee, vice president, Operations Services. "But we had a vision not only for Simpson, but to restore the bay's natural habitat and prevent future pollution."
The former mill operator, Champion International, and other logging operations had left toxic chemicals in the water and in the soil. The St. Paul Waterway soon became the first Superfund project and habitat restoration in U.S. coastal waters. Simpson Tacoma Kraft and Champion worked out an agreement with the EPA to cap the contaminated sediment along the spit and change water treatment methods ahead of requirements to do so.
Simpson officials met with City of Tacoma, the Puyallup Tribe, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Department of Natural Resources, public officials and environmental and citizen groups to develop a restoration plan.
Just three years later, 17 acres of underwater sediment was replaced with 300,000 cubic yards of clean soil and seven acres of vital marine habitat where the Puyallup River enters. Citizens for a Healthy Bay took form to rally beach clean ups, monitor the waterways and promote the cause. The project is now recognized as a model for industrial and environmental partnership. It is one of the few Superfund sites around the country to be restored without litigation. Ponder that. Everyone agreed on the cleanup plan and who was going to pay for it.
"There really is no precedent for this," Simpson's Legal Counsel Ken Weiner said.
Robert Clark walked the beach overlooking Simpson's pulp facility last week, and for him it was like a trip to see an old friend. Clark is now retired from the National Marine Fisheries Service. The cleanup of the St. Paul site was one of his projects.
"It has been a lot of fun to see how it all worked out," he said. A native Tacoman, he remembers going sailing on Commencement Bay and constantly having to dodge driftwood and industrial trash. The water is now clear of debris and plants. Fish and birds have returned as well. "It has gone from a Superfund site to a home to marine organisms."
The St. Paul site also marked the first cleanup that now touches dozens of sites around the tideflats and every inlet and waterway. Those sites too are seeing progress.
"The beach restoration has been a tremendous success," McEntee said. "What we see today is a healthy habitat that stemmed from hard work and cooperation among the company and community partners with a steadfast commitment to restoring our urban bays. It's a beautiful setting that will continue to provide critical habitat for marine life and economic opportunity for our employees and the community."

Instrument(s): saxophones
Teachers and/or influences? There are so many to thank. Let's start with Grant MacEwan College which was a junior college when I attended. There are things I learned from (now Senator) Tommy Banks that still help me in my career. At the University of North Texas, Jim Riggs was a huge influence. Then, after I had toured, recorded for a decade with Unified Jazz Ensemble, I got a grant from the Canada Council to allowed me to study with Tim Hagans. I especially focused on improvisation and soloing and, wow, it was a great experience. My best friends tell me it really changed my playing and "everything old was new again," as the the song goes. Certainly, being truly in the moment makes soloing great fun and a bit scary, but the results are fantastic. I think that's where I am now, when I'm soloing and I like it. Another influence is
I knew I wanted to be a musician when... I was in Junior High and went to the high school jazz concert. The lights, the stage, the guy playing the tenor sax solos...enough said.
Your sound and approach to music: I think rhythm, texture and shape first, and the rest follows.
Your teaching approach: Every student has to be approached differently, as everyone has a different style of learning and a different point of departure. I try to get inside a student's head, and try to imagine where they are coming from, what their experiences are and have been.
Your dream band: The Jazz Update is a great start! (Wade Beach: piano; Tony Martucci: drums; Tom Baldwin: bass). That's a funny question, because I've often said that the Jazz Update is my dream band. When I was ready to form my own band after leaving Unified Jazz Ensemble, I thought long and hard about who I'd most like to play with and I was incredibly lucky that they were available. Sure there are other players I dig. I've always loved Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, Dave Holland, Dave Douglas.
Road story: Your best or worst experience: Traveling on the Trans-Siberian railway at night in February. It is -40F outside, and about 114F inside. I awake to a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach as I remember I've left the immigration papers I need to reenter the USA back home on my desk.
Favorite venue: I'd have to say in many ways the Gaylord National Hotel at the National Harbor on the Potomac River near Washington DC. I love playing at Yardbird Suite in Edmonton Alberta, Canada and we have a blast every July at the Maryland Summer Jazz Festival in Rockville, Marylandshort on sleep, but a great time musically and in making new friends.
Your favorite recording in your discography and why? "Screwball," the first song off my new CD was written for my son. Aidan is six years old, and in constant, motion (in many different directions). The song reflects his personality, and in spite of it having a lot of time shifts and wide intervals, he can pretty well sing the whole melody along with the track! The song is VERY challenging and my guys really pull it off! (Most non musicians won't have a clue about the complexity of this and many of the other tunes on Brotherhood,and that's a good thing!
The first Jazz album I bought was: Heavy Weather by Weather Report was the first.
What do you think is the most important thing you are contributing musically? My own personal take on the tradition of jazz, as told by a guy who wasn't there to hear much of it first hand. It's like the game "Telephone" where you whisper someone a secret, and the secret goes around the circle, person to person. By the time you get to the end, it may not sound much like the original, but very often it is much more interesting.
Did you know... I'm a closet greenie. I recycle diligently and keep the setting really moderate on the air conditioning and heat. I drive my wife crazy turning out lamps in empty rooms. I don't belong to any environmental groups, it's just a personal thing with me. It's the way I was raised, I guess.

text: HOUSTON, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Crest Financial Limited, the largest minority shareholder of Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR), today proposed to provide Clearwire $240 million in financing through a convertible debt facility. The arrangement, described in a letter to Clearwire's board, is superior to the financing provided by Sprint Nextel Corporation and designed to free Clearwire to explore alternatives to Sprint's inadequate merger offer, Crest said. The Crest proposal is similarly structured as the Sprint financing with Clearwire but is more favorable to Clearwire and its minority shareholders. According to Clearwire's public disclosures, the proposed $240 million of financing would provide Clearwire with enough capital to build-out 2,000 LTE sites as planned and to pay its interest expenses in 2013. In addition with the $160 million that Clearwire has already received under the Sprint financing and cash on hand, Clearwire would have sufficient funds to build at least 2,133 sites above its 2,000 LTE site build-out plan. The proposed Crest financing would also provide Clearwire's board with more time to consider alternatives to the proposed merger with Sprint. Among other alternatives, the Crest financing would allow Clearwire to continue as an independent company and execute its multi-customer business plan that the Clearwire board's own financial advisors, Evercore Group and Centerview Partners, concluded is the most profitable business strategy Clearwire could pursue. In addition, it would give the Clearwire board the opportunity to pursue sales of excess spectrum, such as to DISH Network Corporation, to provide more liquidity to Clearwire. Crest believes that DISH made a real and actionable proposal to purchase a portion of Clearwire's excess spectrum some time ago but, for reasons known only to Clearwire, Clearwire has failed to complete such sale. Under Crest's proposal, Crest would provide $240 million of debt financing to Clearwire through a note purchase agreement. The Crest notes would be issued at 1% interest rate per annum (the same as the Sprint Notes) and with the same maturity date as the Sprint notes. The Crest notes would be exchangeable at $2.00 per share, a significant premium of 33.3% above the $1.50 per share Sprint notes' exchange price. Crest's proposal is not contingent on financing; Crest and its affiliates have sufficient funds available to fund the $240 million in full. In addition to the higher exchange price of $2.00 a share, the Crest notes have several advantages to the Sprint notes. First, the Crest notes remain available even if Clearwire's stockholders reject the - merger with Sprint. Second, if Clearwire were to draw on the Crest notes after the stockholders reject the merger with Sprint, the Crest notes would not become exchangeable until the maturity date in June 2018; by contrast, the Sprint notes are likely to become exchangeable in October 2013 (or sooner). Consequently, the Crest financing offers greater value to Clearwire stockholders by providing Clearwire with very inexpensive debt for a longer term and possibly avoiding substantial near-term dilution. In a statement, David Schumacher, the General Counsel of Crest Financial Limited, said: " Today, Crest has proposed to the Clearwire's board an alternative: the liquidity it needs to continue the build-out of its TDD-LTE wireless network, to explore sales of excess spectrum to DISH or others to provide Clearwire with more liquidity, and to pursue a multi-customer strategy that ensures the highest value for its assets while at the same time avoiding additional draws on the coercive Sprint financing. To Crest, the benefits of our proposal to Clearwire and its stockholders are clear. The Sprint notes are intended to leave Clearwire's minority stockholders with the unfair choice of acquiescing to Sprint's inadequate merger offer or suffering significant dilution at the hands of Sprint. Our proposal is aimed at breathing new life into Clearwire by providing the liquidity and time that Clearwire needs to pursue the profitable multi-customer plan that will bring significantly more value to Clearwire's stockholders than the Sprint offer."

Thinking about buying a Steoeger X50 .22 air gun for the evil red squirrels, Stoeger Arms X50 Breakbarrel Air Rifle Combo. Air rifles the 870 does the job but I want something a tad quieter, and 1500 fps with .22 alloy pellets (1350 tested) just wow!
I already have a Gamo hunter in .17 but killing the critters in the top of a 50' tree taxes the gun to it's max. What I have been reading on the reviews Gas piston is better but slower, the Gamo with the Gas piston reviews on the Pyramid site. I looked at one (X50) at Jays in MI and it had a good feel, and heft, but I think it will still have the TWANG BUZZ of my Gamo.
Any of you out there have any BTDT with this air gun??

Publisher: G. Bell & sons 1915
Number of pages: 64
The four chapters which follow are four lectures delivered before the Edinburgh Mathematical Colloquium on the subject of Relativity. As many of the audience had their chief interests in other branches of mathematical science, it was necessary to start ab initio. The best method appeared to be to treat the subject in the historical order ; the author have brought it down to the stage in which it was left by Minkowski.

Re: Anyone know Dimond or Montclair Rec Center camps?
I would like to recommend Peace Camp to you for your now 6 and 7 year old. It has a really small group with only 20-25 kids. They don't let the kids fight ('cause it's Peace Camp) and they swim every afternoon. Their counselors are great and they don't lose track of the kids. The cost is only $200. for the week, full time 8:30 Am to 5:30 pm. The only problem is that the camp is only running for one week in Berkeley this year. You can find more info on their website: www.peacecamp.com Peace Camp fan

Peace Camp has offered summer day camp programs for the past 22 years in Berkeley. It is a SMALL camp and we are in danger of closing. Should we even offer it at all this summer? We have one week scheduled, and the cost is $200 for the week. The cost includes a full day: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, with singing and peace art in the morning and swimming every afternoon. Is this cost too high for parents? We are a calm and relaxed place for children to enjoy being children, but do parents want more academic programs? There are now many camps for parents to choose from, are we too small to be noticed? Perhaps families just don't know about our program. Where do parents look for programs? What are your suggestions? Would love your feedback, thanks much! Mary
I've heard great things about your camp from a friend of ours who sends her granddaughter there every summer. Unfortunately I could never enroll my daughter in your camp because the Berkeley session always happens at the same time as this other camp that my daughter loves to do every summer. Have you ever considered adding more sessions in the Berkeley area? Do you have faithful followers of your camp? Ask them to spread the word. Some schools allow you to put flyers out about your camp. Maybe some of your faithful followers can do that for you. Berkeley Parents Network is a good place to let everyone know about your camp. And so is Parents Press. My sense is that maybe you need some help with outreach, and also presentation and how the info of your camp is explained. I know plenty of parents who would love a mellow, easy- going camp with a positive message such as yours, but they may not know about it. Or maybe they came across your website and didn't get much of an impression. Maybe you need to reinvigorate your image as a camp. Refresh the graphics on your homepage, with more images of children having a good time, singing songs, swimming, etc. Maybe add a video or two as examples. Your main page only shows flowers which may not give the right first impression. My first impression of just flowers did not speak ''Summer Camp'' to me at all. Talk to some of the dedicated parents who send their kids to your camp. Ask their advice on how to make your camp more enticing.
I personally think we have way too many academic summer camps, especially here in the East Bay. Good old fashion camps with singing, swimming and making art is not so common anymore. There is an interest out there, it's just a matter of tapping into the right audience and presenting yourselves as a ''haven'' or ''answer'' to what they've been looking for all along, And by the way, $200 is a very good price. I wish we could go this summer. Best of luck to you. -Anon
P.S. I forgot to mention that the video you have on your camp website is not compatible with my computer. So I was unable to watch it. For outreach you need to use a format that works on on all computers. Most websites these days use a format for their videos that everyone can watch. Again, reinvigorate and update your website to bring in new interest. The Berkeley area has a high population of families and there are a ton of camps in this area. This area is known for having almost way too many choices. Perhaps your camp tends to get lost in the noise. Bring out some distinction to bring new attention to it. And again, reach out to your faithful followers in this area. They might be able to help. Anon

My children have been going to a really wonderful day camp for the past few years. My 15 year old started when she was four years old and for the past 2 years has been a Counselor in Training (CIT).
They love it and I do too. The camp is small with great counselors. The kids get lots of individual attention. They do art projects, play qames, sing, swim every afternoon and go on filed trips. The price is really great too, only $200 for an entire week, 9 hours a day. I'm telling you about this camp because they haven't been advertising enough and need more registrations in order to keep going. Please, check out Peace Camp at peacecamp.com. '' Contact Mary she is a lovely warm person and she will give you more info. Maria

My daughter's very interested in Peace Camp (held at the Unitarian Fellowship). Anybody have any experiences to report? Judy
My daughter's gone to Peace Camp for the past two summers and will register again this year. (Margaret's choice, as well as ours.) It's not as hippy-dippy as one might think; the message of peace and the value of conflict resolution are woven into the kids' activities with some subtlety, and the counselors' style is kind but matter of fact. Nice, relaxed atmosphere (rather low-key compared to some camps), with traditional stuff like circle time and wonderful goofy songs, arts and crafts, swimming every day, and a field trip once a week.
Something that impressed me last year was when my daughter was in one of her more outrageous moods and blatantly disobeyed and dissed Mary Miche, the camp director. Mary, a normally even-tempered woman, was quite angry, and admitted to me later that she had wanted to give Margaret a good smack. (I recognized this feeling....) Instead of doing so, she let her temper cool and then had a talk with Margaret, another counselor, and an advocate (chosen by my kid). Everyone calmed down and I was informed later that Margaret would be eligible to become a counselor-in-training the next summer. I wish all grown-ups could be this mature about sorting out their resentments. Melanie


text: So I was wondering if CUE with NAV could play Music Videos or Movies off of the SD Card? I saw a brief mention of it being capable of playing Video files on SD in the online owners manual.. I tried it and it only played the Audio portion from the Music Video. I am surprised that CUE can only play CD's and not DVD's like its predecessors.. I have a ton of Video Mix DVD's.. Anyways, I came across this CUE module to add Video Inputs to the CUE screen.. I'll be happy if I can get my iPhone Videos onto the CUE screen.. Has anyone here tried this product?

Keira Knightley And James Righton Are All Loved Up In London [PHOTOS]
Wearing a casual denim jacket over a black dress, Keira Knightley left the Wolsley Restaurant in London last night (May 30th) holding hands with fiance James Righton. Prior to this relationship (the couple have been dating 15 months), Knightley was with her Pride And Prejudice co-star, Rupert Friend for five years.
Alexa Chung introduced Knightley to the Klaxons co-vocalist and keyboardist, to the delight of their friends and family. "You can tell with some people if they're made for each other, and these two definitely are," Righton's father told his hometown newspaper, the Stratford-Upon-Avon Herald (via HELLO!) "They are a truly lovely couple and as you can imagine, they're over the moon with this news."
No word yet on a date, given that both Knightley and Righton have a busy schedule ahead of them. "I've not heard anything about wedding dates or where the wedding will take place," Righton's father said. "Keira is filming in New York soon and James is busy in the studio…so we'll have to wait and see."
Catch footage of the couple leaving the Wolsley last night after the jump.

1. Obama Now Global Head of Al-Qaeda : "President Barack Obama is now the global head of Al-Qaeda – bankrolling, arming and equipping terrorists around the world in order to achieve his administration's geopolitical objectives – while simultaneously invoking the threat of terrorists domestically to destroy the bill of rights."
2. FAU Student Claims He Was Suspended For Refusing To Step On Jesus : "Ryan Rotella, a junior from Coral Springs, said the incident began when his professor, Dr. Deandre Poole, asked students in the class to write the word "Jesus" on a piece of paper, fold it up, and step on it."
3. Arizona could soon approve gold, silver as legal tender : "Arizona could soon become the second U.S. state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender if the Arizona House approves SB 1439."
4. Cyprus makes frantic effort to prevent run on its banks : "Cyprus is embarking on emergency efforts to restructure its second largest bank and considering new rules to stop money flooding out of the country's banks when they reopen next week after being shut for ten days."
5. Cyprus weighs new bailout plan as meltdown looms : "Cyprus was on Thursday fine-tuning a "Plan B" aimed at securing a eurozone bailout that the European Central Bank warned should be adopted by the weekend to avoid a banking meltdown on the debt-hit island."
Lesson for today – don't keep all your cash in the bank! Hide it, bury it, spend it, invest it in silver and gold, buy land, stock up on survival food and gear. No matter what you do don't pile it up in the bank! Personally, I don't want to keep more than $5,000 in government "monopoly money" (federal reserve notes) on hand at any time. It's just to unstable to be considered an investment or a retirement "nest egg".
6. British Politician's Warning to Europeans With Cash in the Bank: 'Get Your Money Out While You Can' : "Appearing on Russia Today, British politician Nigel Farage on Tuesday made his first comments on the proposed levy on all depositors in Cyprus, issuing a dire warning to Europeans who still have money in banks within bailed out countries: " Get your money out while you can."
7. Mass Panic In Cyprus: The Banks Are Collapsing And ATMs Are Running Out Of Money : "European officials are openly admitting that the two largest banks in Cyprus are "insolvent", and it is now being reported that Cyprus Popular Bank only has "enough liquidity to cover the next few hours". Of course all banks in Cyprus are officially closed until Tuesday at the earliest, but there have been long lines at ATMs all over Cyprus as people scramble to get whatever money they can out of the banks. Unfortunately, some ATMs appear to be "malfunctioning" and others appear to have already run out of cash."
8. Is America on the brink of disaster? : "The most radical president in American history has won a second term. His goal: transform American. His chances of success: frightening."

'Hell hath no fury'
AMID THE DEVASTATION in New York after two Boston-to-Los Angeles flights slammed into the World Trade Centre on Tuesday, a muted sense of normality has begun to return to some sections of the city.
Although much of downtown Manhattan south of 14th Street remained sealed and schools and businesses there closed, children elsewhere in New York returned to school on Thursday for the first time since the tragedy.
Commuters made their way to work by subway, with most lines operating normally. Most bridges and tunnels leading into Manhattan were again open to car and train traffic.
En route to school or work, many New Yorkers paused at impromptu shrines that have sprung up around the city. Some of the shrines are elegant in their simplicity. In Washington Square, flowers were woven through the links in a chain fence; alongside them are posted simple notes expressing personal sadness - not anger - or gratitude to New York's police officers and firefighters. Hundreds of candles have been placed on the pavement below.
Other shrines are more poignant in their despair. Outside a New School University facility on 11th Street in Greenwich Village that is serving as the information centre for St Vincent's, the hospital closest to the blast site, dozens of missing-person notices have been posted on police barricades.
The faces in the pictures of the missing are of all colours, with surnames of varied origin, including Chinese, Hispanic, Indian, Jewish, Korean and Russian. All the missing - barring a miracle or two - are dead. But in one rare note of 'optimism' which says much about the scale of this tragedy, New York Mayor Rudolf Giuliani estimated on Thursday that about 4,700 people are still missing.
It now looks as if the overall death toll, including those who died at the Pentagon - also hit by an airliner - and on the hijacked planes, will exceed 5,000. That would be more than double the 2,400 Americans who died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, but far below initial fears that tens of thousands of people might have been killed in New York alone.
At peak business hours, as many as 50,000 people worked in or were passing through the World Trade Centre, which in addition to the twin towers, includes many subsidiary office towers that also have collapsed.
So, as bad as the timing of the attack was and as high as the death toll will be, both could have been much worse.
As soon as the north tower was hit at 8:45am on Tuesday, people were prevented from entering both towers and an evacuation began. Workers in the south tower had a precious 18 minutes before it was hit by the second plane.
And with another 57 minutes before the south tower collapsed and 86 minutes before the north tower collapsed, thousands of people were able to make it out.
Had the attack occurred either mid-morning or mid-afternoon, the United States could have lost tens of thousands of people in the space of an hour or two. By way of comparison, 58,000 Americans died in the Vietnam War.
I was at my mother's home on the North Shore of Massachusetts when my father, who was listening to radio reports while driving to work, called in the news.
As a current-affairs junkie from an early age and now a journalist, I have always loved major news events. The bigger they are, I long believed, the more exciting.
But this time, for the first time that I can remember, there was numbness rather than excitement, especially after it emerged that the two flights which ended in the World Trade Centre originated at Logan International Airport in Boston.
Suddenly, getting back to work at this newspaper's Guangzhou bureau - I had been scheduled to fly out of Logan on Wednesday morning - seemed less important.
Like most Americans, I mentally totted up friends and family members working in New York, especially in the financial district. Then, in stunned disbelief, I sat to watch the tragic events unfold on television.
Reconciling the news with the spectacular late-summer day that was dawning over Boston was impossible. The picture-perfect weather lent the events a bizarre quality, as if it was just a Hollywood movie.
I set out for New York a day later, on Wednesday afternoon. Boston is only a 45-minute flight from New York, but with all airports closed, the next best option was a four-hour train ride.
As the train made its way along the southern coast of New England, American flags along the route flew at half-mast. The skies above, usually a busy air corridor, were empty except for two military helicopters over Connecticut.
I arrived in New York as night fell. The scene could not have offered a more surreal contrast to the made-for-television footage that had dominated network broadcasts a day earlier.
In the gathering darkness, a massive and stubborn cloud of smoke and dust, exacerbated by yet another building collapse, drifted into the night air where the twin towers had stood.
Exiting Penn Station, I was immediately struck by the stench of fires still burning at the blast site. Southwards near police lines, the stench grew stronger and the number of people wearing cloth masks increased. The smoke and dust became so thick that, from just a few blocks north of the site, the massive pile of rubble could only be glimpsed intermittently.
It seemed impossible that less than 12 hours later, another glorious day would dawn and school children and commuters would begin to resume normal routines.
In times of national crisis, Americans have a tendency to wrap themselves in the flag and tie yellow ribbons around trees with an enthusiasm that strikes many foreigners as corny.
Indeed, after tragedy struck on Tuesday morning, radio stations 'honoured America' by playing the national anthem every hour.
Members of the House of Representatives and Senate gathered on the steps of the US Capitol building, began to sing a reportedly spontaneous rendition of America the Beautiful.
But it would be a mistake to equate such sentimentality with weakness. An icy resolve underlies the seemingly over-the-top displays of American patriotism. Hell hath no fury like the United States of America when it has been damaged as suddenly, deeply and unexpectedly as it was on Tuesday. It is a rare and amazing experience to watch an angry and powerful nation steel itself for war. It last happened in the US after the attack on Pearl Harbour.
The Government has not yet said against whom this war will be waged, but President George W. Bush has pledged not to distinguish between the terrorists who carried out the attacks and the nations that harboured them.
The war might also come to resemble a Hollywood production, but like the opening salvo fired on Tuesday, it is going to be all too real.

Graduate Study Abroad
Interested in studying abroad while you're in graduate school?
Graduate students from many institutions can study and serve on IPSL Programs. If you are currently enrolled in a graduate program, please inquire with IPSL!
Students from any school are welcome to participate in IPSL's 14 undergraduate programs. Graduate students would participate similar to undergraduates, attending an IPSL program for a semester or summer for academic credit, participating in a service-learning placement, academic excursions, homestay and Service-Learning Plus (if applicable).
Graduate students would attend undergraduate level courses with undergraduate students and do extra work (at a greater quantity and at a higher level) to meet graduate level requirements. An additional program fee may apply to support the local faculty abroad in providing additional course work for the graduate student. Past graduate students on IPSL programs have worked with their home institution faculty in ensuring their courses abroad met the home institution graduate program course department requirements.
Course transcripts appear as 300 level courses. It is up to the student's home institution to change the course level for the transcript if necessary.
Below is a student from SUNY New Paltz student participating in IPSL's Cusco, Peru Program. This program gave her hands on experience within her field simultaneously receiving grad school credit.

Todd's Profile
Todd has fifteen years in game and twelve years of teaching thousands of men how be successful with women everywhere from Toronto to Tokyo. One word: Daygame3GADValentineUniversity.
Immersion, Traveling Immersion, Bootcamp, Hotseat, Valentine University, Inner Circle, Vblogs, 3GAD, Daygame. Now you know why he always looks tired.
Todd has a mechanical engineering degree he doesn't use, unless you count his highly technical style of game.
While he never studied psychology, he probably knows the mind of a woman better than she does.
Sun up, sun down, mobile, laptop, or desktop: no charisma, no state = no problem.
He has the best hair out of all the RSD instructors.
For the last two years Todd has lived in Las Vegas and New York, where he practices game and pulls the hottest women from the best clubs in the world just about every night of the week.
His life is pretty boring—he's dated and slept with hundreds of models, actresses, and hired guns, and currently picks up tens solo and with his bisexual girlfriend.
He has a life outside of pickup: Crossfit, soccer, chess, speed-listening to audiobooks, billiards, poker, and a Game of Thrones addiction.

Just letting you know that I had a day time pull two days ago. It was literally right after hearing you talk about how you just have to believe that it's possible. So I went out walking around downtown and met an amazing girl I had lots of chemistry with and let's just say we spend the next few hours together at my apartment lol.
Anyways, thanks again for your hard work.

Enoyed your Hot Seat presentation in NYC yesterday! The thing I took away from it how successful you can be with a very low energy. That day pull in the video where you take HB for a glass of wine was an epiphany in realizing how a low energy game can be just as affective for me. Hope to see you soon. Again thx!

Tree Fu Tom Magazine Launched In UK
Immediate Media are have launched a monthly Tree Fu Tom magazine to compliment the popular CBeebies TV show.
Like the programme, the magazine is aimed at children aged 3-5 years, and promotes development through physical movement.
Immediate Media kindly sent a copy for Son#2 to read and play with. He is aged 6 years, and has dyspraxia, and he really enjoyed the activities. I appreciated the wind up toy that came with the magazine, which helps promote fine motor skills, and the crayons as colouring-in supports the development of pen control.
There's a new edition of the Tree Fu Tom magazine each month, priced at £2.50.
