When Brooke Johnson gets mad, Spike feels her wrath.
Spike is a stuffed dinosaur that has become the unofficial mascot of the Athens Academy girls soccer team. Assistant coach Wendy Naylor gave Spike to Johnson last season after Johnson had a tough time adjusting to a leadership position as a freshman.
''Last season was very frustrating for me because Coach (Don) Chuboff said I had to be the center of the team and I had to keep everyone up and running,'' Johnson said. ''And one game I got very frustrated and after that game Wendy Naylor gave me Spike, and if I get frustrated, I just squeeze him.''
Spike has made every game since then.
''She absolutely had to have that or all was lost,'' Chuboff said. ''If we did not have that as we got on the bus to leave, there was a problem.''
This season Spike wasn't needed to comfort Johnson in her leadership role, but he was there just in case. Johnson led the lady Spartans to a 12-6 record with 15 goals and 10 assists from her sweeper position and is the Athens Daily News/Banner-Herald and Pepsi Northeast Georgia Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
''It's easier because I'm really good friends with everyone on the team,'' Johnson said. ''On the field I can, maybe not literally yell at them, but I can tell them what to do and they'll listen. I'm not saying I have a whip in my hand.''
Johnson also has the talent to back up her directions. As the team's sweeper, the 5-foot-7 sophomore used a powerful leg and strong defensive skills to take charge of games throughout the season.
Spike, fortunately, will only get squeezed by Johnson. Opponents, though, sometimes aren't that lucky. Chuboff said he remembers at least three times games had to be stopped so opposing players could be taken off the field after Johnson hit them with a kicked ball.
''She got to the ball, won it, managed to clear it and, unfortunately, the ball managed to get an opposing player full chest,'' Chuboff said. ''She knocked out three this year that laid on the field motionless for several minutes and we had to stop the game to get them off.
''I'll be deadly honest, I wouldn't want to step in front of something she hit full speed.''
Johnson wouldn't do it on purpose, but it didn't hurt her reputation as a player to be reckoned with.
''I feel bad, but I don't say I'm sorry or anything because I have to keep the mentality,'' she said. ''I do feel sorry. I usually never do it on purpose.''
Johnson's honed those skills from years of playing at the Athens YMCA.
''We always had to play the guys and we always tried to beat the guys,'' she said.
Most of ''those guys'' that Johnson played against weren't just bigger and stronger, but they were all pretty fair players. Most of those players make up the Athens Academy and Clarke Central boys teams. Both of those teams reached the state finals, with the Gladiators winning not only the state title, but also earning the No. 1-ranking in the country.
''Those are the guys I grew up playing with,'' she said. ''We are a pretty physical team as a whole, but (teammates Elizabeth) Chastain, (Elizabeth) Howard and I, are more because of that experience.''
Johnson also received an athletic push from her family. Her sister, Kristy, played volleyball at Georgia, while her father, Andy, was the Georgia quarterback from 1971-73 who went on to play for the New England Patriots.
''I went through my pressure this year of being a Johnson,'' she said. ''My dad, Kristy and I have that attitude of pushing ourselves to the limit to get things done how they should be. There's a lot of pressure.''
So far Johnson has shown that pressure isn't too much for her. Spike maybe, but not Brooke.

Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller

ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, Guatemala, Nov. 4 (JTA)--Young leaders in small Jewish communities throughout Latin America feel a great responsibility to preserve Jewish life in their hometowns--and they're worried about the future.
These youths, together with young people from larger communities like Buenos Aires, came together in this town 30 miles outside Guatemala City as part of the Ninth Meeting of Leaders of Latin American and Caribbean Jewish Institutions and Communities.
The meeting, sponsored by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, ran from Oct. 30-Nov. 2.
Of the nearly 600 lay leaders, rabbis, educators and volunteers from 22 countries who gathered to share ideas, about 100 were under age 30.
At a time when Latin America's economic problems have caused many Jews to leave for Israel, the United States and other places, young people said they are concerned about maintaining what's left of their Jewish communities.
Daniel Cahen, from San Salvador, El Salvador, where there are about 60 Jewish families, said he doesn't know if he'll find a Jewish woman to marry.
"I'm worried for myself and my future," said Cahen, 27. "I want my kids to be Jewish."
His concerns echo those of young people across the region.
Each Latin American country has distinct political and economic circumstances--making life for a Jew in Monterrey, Mexico, quite different than for one in Havana, for example--the small communities throughout the region face similar struggles.
Many of the young people from small Jewish communities grew up in places where there weren't always rabbis and where it could be difficult to connect with other Jews or follow Jewish traditions.
Some of them are working to change that.
Here in Guatemala, where there are about 250 Jewish families, it was common for young adults to disconnect from the community after graduating from high school, youth leaders said.
Three years ago, a group of young people started the Jewish University Students of Guatemala. The group includes people between the ages of 18 and 30 who aren't necessarily students.
Joe Kaire, president of the group, spoke about his organization during the conference.
"We didn't have a place to keep developing our Jewish identity," Kaire, 25, told the audience. "Now we do, but it's a slow process."
It's hard to form a community, he said, because so many young Jews go to college outside Guatemala City--either elsewhere in Guatemala or in the United States.
Those who stay don't necessarily join the students group. That worries the group's president-elect, Joseph Mejia.
"We need to unify the community of young people," Mejia, 21, said. "If not, we're going to lose the customs."
It's not always easy to live a Jewish life in Guatemala, Mejia and Kaire agreed.
"In Mexico, if you want to keep kosher you have several restaurants to choose from. If you don't keep kosher in Mexico, it's because you don't want to," Kaire said. "But here, it's very difficult."
Even though Mexico has 50,000 Jews, the overwhelming majority are in Mexico City. Outside the capital, the communities are small and isolated--more similar in some ways to Guatemala City than to Mexico City.
Eduardo Berner is from Monterrey, a city of more than 3 million people--including some 120 Jewish families--in northern Mexico.
He said that nearly every Jewish person he knows, including his father and uncles, has had to go to Mexico City to find a Jewish spouse. He probably will do the same, said Berner, a 23-year-old student.
Maintaining a community of young Jews in Monterrey is a challenge because many young people go to college in the United States, he said.
"I don't know what the solution is," Berner said.
Young Jewish leaders shouldn't feel discouraged when efforts to fortify their communities fall short of their goals, Israeli scholar and author Gustavo Perednik said at a panel discussion.
"It's not about how many people you bring together, but the quality of the gatherings," Perednik said.
Mirna Szulmajster, coordinator of the conference's youth program, said in an interview that she sees potential in Latin America's young Jewish leaders.
"I'm very optimistic," said Szulmajster, who works in the JDC's Buenos Aires office. "I see concern, not indifference, in these young people. And with this concern comes the desire to make change."
According to Bertha Delgado Farin, 23, of Santiago de Cuba, the challenge on her island is how to revitalize a Jewish community that was dormant for years.
After the Cuban revolution in 1959, about 90 percent of Cuba's Jews left for economic reasons, and Jewish life in the country further dwindled after the government began discouraging religious practice.
There still is no permanent rabbi in Cuba, but Jewish life is thriving again. The synagogue in Santiago de Cuba, located more than 500 miles from Havana on the southwestern part of the island, was rededicated in 1995 after having been closed for 16 years.
Delgado Farin did not learn she was Jewish until she was 12. She remembers her mother lighting a small candle each Friday night, but she didn't know why. Now she attends synagogue on Fridays and studies Torah on Saturdays.
She said she worries about how to get those younger than her involved in the community. Intermarriage also is an issue, she noted, since there are only about a dozen Jews between the ages of 13 and 30 in Santiago de Cuba.
Though her own husband is not Jewish, Delgado Farin says she is determined to provide a Jewish upbringing for their daughter, Sophia, 2.
"We have a lot to learn about Judaism," she said. "But every day I'm determined to learn more--and I feel extremely, extremely proud to be Jewish.''

Woman put £1,000 on phone she never used
A PENSIONER put £1,000 on her mobile phone despite never making a call or sending a text.
Elizabeth had spent nine weeks worth of her pension of her unused phone
Technophobe Elizabeth Silk, 69, believed she had to pay when people rang her.
Elizabeth, of Featherstone, West Yorkshire, realised she had spent the equivalent of nine weeks pension needlessly putting cash on her payas- you-go mobile.
She topped up with £10 every time she went to buy milk because she thought she would run out of credit if the phone rang.
That left her with £980.75 on a phone that she had bought for £20.
The mistake was finally discovered by her carer Kay Duggan, 53, of Castleford, who worked out how to check the balance.
Her network provider Vodafone has promised to refund all her credit to her bank account.
She said she was delighted at the gesture and is now planning to treat herself to a holiday in Scarborough with the money she has saved. "I can't believe they're refunding the whole amount," she said.
"It's brilliant. It restores your faith in humanity."

New Healthy Snack!/
As snack foods go, microwave popcorn is pretty awesome. It's fast, makes fun noises and is crunchy. Plus, it's semi-healthy (fiber!) and you can get good-tasting low-calorie versions. I never really thought it needed improving... until I heard about Quinn Popcorn. Made from pure ingredients like organic (non genetically modified) corn, this new treat comes in three flavors so far: Parmesan & Rosemary, Vermont Maple & Sea Salt and Lemon & Sea Salt. Um, YUM! So the next time you want to watch a movie and get your gourmet on, you know what to do. The popcorn is available in some Whole Foods now, and soon you'll be able to order it online. "Like" it on Facebook and sign up here for updates. Don't you want to be on the cutting edge of deliciousness?

Landlords: know your responsibilities
Warning: THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY (WHICH MAY BE YOUR HOME) MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE
UK landlord responsibilities
A written agreement between you and your tenant should outline the basic rental rules, but a landlord's duties stretch far further than simply collecting rent.
Here are a few of the responsibilities you'll have as a landlord in the UK.
1. Ensure the property is safe
Various checks of appliances and fittings need to be completed before you rent out your property. You may also need a certificate to prove the work has been done to required standards. Certain checks and certificates need to be updated and renewed every year.
Visit Gov.uk for more information on landlord's safety responsibilities.
2. Prompt and proper repairs
You are responsible for exterior and structural repairs over the course of a tenancy, whether you choose to complete the maintenance yourself or hire a professional to do the job.
Landlords must also keep installations that supply water, gas, electricity, sanitation and heat in proper working order.
3. Request access
While you cannot visit the property whenever you wish, your tenancy agreement should detail when you can visit the property and what notice you will need to provide.
Subject to the terms of the tenancy agreement, in an emergency – such as a serious water or gas leak - are you allowed instant access to carry out necessary work.
4. Respect their space
Tenants must be allowed full use of the property as, while they are staying there, this is their home. So unless otherwise agreed, they should be able to access and use all rooms and your belongings should not be stored there.
5. Protect the deposit
By law you are legally obliged to secure a tenant's deposit in a government-backed protection scheme within 30 days of receiving it.
Each of these schemes aim to help with any potential financial disputes.
At the end of a tenancy you must return the deposit within 10 days of agreeing the amount to be returned.
For more information, visit Gov.uk
6. Tenancy contract changes
Subject to the terms of the tenancy contract, you may not be able to change the terms of the tenancy contract – such as the amount of rent – during the fixed period of your agreement.
When the fixed period comes to an end you can agree a new contract with any changes you want included. Alternatively, if it is a periodic 'rolling' tenancy you should give the tenant a month's notice of any proposed changes.
7. Ending the tenancy
At the end of the fixed term outlined in the tenancy agreement you may decide to allow the tenants to remain in the property by entering into a new tenancy agreement or allowing them to stay on a periodic 'rolling tenancy'. Alternatively, you may wish to terminate the tenancy agreement by providing the tenants with proper written notice.
There are also a number of situations that may mean you want to end the tenancy before the fixed term period has expired, for example if the tenants fail to pay their rent. For further information on this you should seek legal advice.
This guide is intended as a summary only and does not constitute legal advice given by Leeds Building Society. No reliance should be placed on this guide and you must make your own decisions, we recommend that you seek legal and/or financial advice if you have any questions or queries.

Culling different sources and reports, it appears the Raiders have 21 contracts expiring, with 16 unrestricted free agents, two restricted free agents and three exclusive rights free agents.The NFL's franchise tag deadline date is Feb. 20, with free agency beginning March 13.A look, then, at the purported 21 contracts expiring for the Raiders
SS Tyvon Branch -- A focal point on being retained, especially with new coach Dennis Allen's defensive mindset that could make Branch more of a playmaker in the secondary.RB Michael Bush -- A likely Franchise Tag candidate, what with Darren McFadden's health an issue every season and Bush showing he can carry the load.QB Jason Campbell -- Likely gone to sign elsewhere, even if his skill set is more geared towards a West Coast offense than that of Carson Palmer.LB Quentin Groves -- He predicted he had already played his last game as a Raider, but might he be more useful with a combo of 4-3 and 3-4 packages?OL Stephon Heyer -- Valuable cog on the O-line, but can he play in the zone-blocking scheme coming down the pike?DE Jarvis Moss -- Another 'tweener' at end and linebacker who might be useful in a hybrid defense championed by Allen and new D.C. Jason Tarver.C Samson Satele -- Thought to be too small for last year's power blocking scheme, Satele actually came to Oakland to play in Tom Cable's zone-blocking scheme.WR Chaz Schilens -- Potential can only get you so far before consistent results validate it. Raiders seem set on WR corps sans Schilens.DE Trevor Scott -- Has not been his sack-happy self since blowing out a knee on special teams at Pittsburgh in 2010. Could add depth though, especially since he has played both DE and LB.S Matt Giordano -- The only member of the roster to have actually played for Allen, in New Orleans. What he lacked in speed he made up for in guile.CB Lito Sheppard -- His best days are behind him, as evidenced by the clinic San Diego's receivers gave him in the season finale.RT Khalif Barnes -- Had a better season than expected at RT and might come back if the Raiders don't think Joseph Barksdale is ready.QB Kyle Boller -- Tied too closely to Hue Jackson to bring back in a backup role.WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- See above.RB Rock Cartwright -- Two-time Commitment to Excellence Award winner is a soothing locker room presence that could help with coaching transition.LB Darryl Blackstock -- Tied too closely to former D.C. Chuck Bresnahan to bring back, though he did do work on special teams.RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
DL Desmond Bryant -- Undrafted Ivy Leaguer continues to impress, and could thrive as an end in a 3-4 variation.FB Marcel Reece -- The most dynamic fullback in the league thrived in Jackson's offense. What about in Greg Knapp's?EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS
S Jerome Boyd -- Practice squad refugee had a tough season after a good camp.DL Mason Brodine -- Practice squad refugee is young and cheap and might provide depth, or head back to the practice squad.CBKR Bryan McCann -- Made more of a mark as a returner, but is expendable with a healthy Jacoby Ford.

Report from SPUC AGM
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children held its national conference at the Hayes Centre in Swanwick, Derbyshire, last weekend. Over 200 delegates attended a series of talks and workshops on key issues including the Mental Capacity Bill and euthanasia, pro-life lobbying in the new European Parliament and the morning-after pill. IVF Dr John Fleming, President of Campion College in Sydney, Australia, and a founder member of the UNESCO committee on bioethics, gave a talk entitled, 'Why IVF is Wrong', guiding delegates through a medically and ethically complex area with clarity and conviction. He looked particularly at the commodification of human life by IVF, the wastage of human embryos involved and the link between IVF and abortion. Abortion Marijo Zivkovic, Director of the Family Centre in Zagreb, Croatia, spoke with great enthusiasm about the advances that are being made in the pro-life field in Croatia. Years of pro-life campaigning and educational work begun during the time of Communism have resulted in a sustained decline in the number of abortions being carried out in Croatia and an increase in stable families. The Mental Capacity Bill James Bogle, Barrister of the Middle Temple who assisted SPUC's successful intervention in the Diane Pretty right-to-die case, gave a talk on the dangers of the Bill which is to receive its second reading on 11 October. He also examined the implications of the Leslie Burke case, in which a disabled man demanded that he should receive full medical treatment and care in the event of becoming incapacitated. Leslie Burke won his case and the General Medical Council's guidelines were declared illegal, but some points of the judgement remain a cause for serious concern among pro-life activists. The Morning After Pill Dr Seyi Hotonu, a medical doctor and researcher for The Christian Institute, gave a talk entitled, 'The Morning After Pill: The medical cost of reducing teenage pregnancies', in which she looked at the abortion-inducing action of the Levonelle-2 drug and its relation to increased risk of ectopic pregnancy and growing rates of sexually transmitted infection among young people. Workshops included subjects such as prenatal testing and coping with an unplanned pregnancy. Source: SPUC

I'm 29 years old, single and have a well-paid job in a fairly large city. I feel that I'm at the stage where I should be thinking about buying my first house. However, I'm not sure that I want to commit to owning a property. My question is whether I should just carry on renting or take the plunge and buy somewhere. If so, where? In the city or somewhere outside where I'd have to commute but might get more for my money, perhaps a garden even? I look forward to hearing your view on what could be a life-changing decision for me.
Dear Caroline, the first thing that comes through as I begin this reading is that you are not nearly as committed to your job as you used to be. In the past, your career came first. You were driven to succeed and willingly worked all the hours you could possibly fit into any given week.
However in the past year to year and a half this seems to have changed. You've started questioning why you are doing this. And it's been building and building. In fact, I have you close to turning in your letter of resignation on two occasions. I sense you have it in your desk ready to hand in should it all become too much.
And so it's against this backdrop that I offer my insights regarding your property queries. First, it's coming through that you moved around a lot as a child. And you were always in rented property. You have always dreamed of owning and buying a place that will give you the permanency and stability - roots - you have longed for.
So, renting a property is no longer an option. Now with that said, I do sense that you have already mentally resigned from your job. However, you will need it to secure your mortgage. So, time is of the essence. Drag your feet no more!
The property you have found in the city does not meet your specifications - in fact to me it feels like it's on the outskirts. Also, I don't have it as having the "neighbourhood" feeling that you desired. Go back and check it out over the weekend. To me, it comes through as a ghost town.
Outside, the city I sense there are two properties you are considering. What strikes me as the primary difference is the size of the garden. Interestingly enough, I would say that the one with the smaller garden is the more expensive of the two. You are leaning toward the bigger, less expensive property. I would advise the other.
The bigger has the potential but will require more upkeep, maintenance. You don't, won't have the time for this. Additionally, the one with the smaller garden comes through to me as the one with the higher return on investment. You will get a higher resale value with this one. Most importantly, this one would be easier to rent out. And while you aren't thinking about this at the moment, you will be in six months time.
Regarding the commute, this is an interesting consideration. I must say that I do see you leaving your current job within the next four months. You will spend a couple of months pottering about the house and then I have you travelling.
At this point you will rent out the house. The house on the outskirts with the smaller garden feels very accessible - much more so than the one with the bigger garden. And the neighbourhood it's in, while not what you would have selected now, will have the feel you want in about five years. That's when you will be returning to settle down in it.
Good luck with becoming a property owner - and you're correct, you are in for some very big and very positive life changes!

What an interesting year 2017 will be!
What a surprising - and to some even shocking - year 2016 turned out to be. Perhaps most significantly, it was the year the British people chose Brexit and the year the American people elected Trump. These were two outcomes precious few saw coming. Pundits, pollsters and even psychics told us that it wouldn't happen - that it couldn't happen. Yet, in the end, it did happen... Continue reading »
Happy 2017! It's finally here - we're underway. And whether the new White House occupant was your candidate or whether last year's UK referendum went the way you wanted, what I'm hearing from my clients is a real commitment to turning the page and to making this new year one of change - of doing things differently - of creating better realities for themselves...

SmithGroupJJR, the oldest architecture and engineering firm in the US, has gone global with the opening of its first international office in Shanghai, China.
The new office will be the 160-year-old architecture firm's 10th office, the other nine of which are all based in the United States. SmithGroupJJR will bring its design expertise to China to address to the country's largest growth markets, research and development, healthcare, continuing care/retirement communities and higher education.
Russ Skyes, a 28-year veteran of SmithGroupJJR, will lead the China operations and split his time between Shanghai and the firm's Detroit office.
SmithGroupJJR is currently working on an array of projects for Chinese clients and US clients who are expanding their operations in China. In Changchun, the firm was approached by First Automative Works to develop a 468,000 square metre automotive research and development centre for the large manufacturer.
Slated for completion in 2015, the First Automative Works building's design has been heavily influenced by Chinese traditions with the use of terracotta (a reference to the entombed Terracotta Army), while the site's layout reflects the country's ancient approach of balancing energy flow to "assure health and good fortune for its users," the company explained.
"Many of our China-based clients, like First Automative Works, travelled to the U.S and sought us out for our specialised design expertise," Sykes said. "Now, with the new office, our clients in Shanghai have direct access to our services. Simultaneously, they benefit from the alliances we've established and our understanding of how to work in China," he added.
SmithGroupJJR president and CEO Carl Roehling also believes the growing healthcare market will support the firm's success.
"Clients are requesting the level of design expertise we possess," he said. "For the growing healthcare market in China, there is a need for firms that excel in healthcare design and the advanced technology used in hospitals. We have that expertise."
The 2013 edition of World Architecture 100 ranked SmithGroupJJR as the tenth-largest healthcare design firm in the world. The firm used its healthcare architecture experience on projects such as the holistic Shuguang Hospital for Shanghai Traditional Chinese University. Completed in 2005, the health centre was the first of its kind in China combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine research and treatment.
In the continuing care/retirement community design space, SmithGroupJJR is set to start construction shortly on a 21-storey project entitled ZhongShan Park for the Vcanland Senior Living Group.
US-based GreenbergFarrow architectural firm from Atlanta, Georgia has also tapped into the Chinese market. Earlier this year, the firm - which specialises in retail design - also spread its wings in Shanghai to respond to the country's rapid urban development.
"I think it's a place we have to be to carry GreenbergFarrow forward to the next life cycle phase of the firm," said Rodney Abney, Jr, a principal at GreenbergFarrow and head of the firm's Shanghai office. "There's quite a lot of opportunity, in spite of the challenges that come with working in a different market."

Ethan on the way to school today:
Ethan came home from summer camp one day (he was 3 years old) and asked me "Mama, what does peace mean?" Wow. What a beautiful question. Tears filled my eyes. How do I answer that? How do I help Ethan to understand something so simple yet so complex? How do I help guide him to be a good and kind person in the world… help him to grow into a kind and gentle person who promotes peace in his actions, who celebrates peace in every step?
That day I answered Ethan by telling him it was important to be kind to everyone in the world --- to love and be kind to all of the earth's creatures. And I explained that everyone is different in the world and that it was important to celebrate and appreciate these differences. And that sometimes people are not kind in the world and don't appreciate each other and that can lead to bad things like war. Our discussion about PEACE continued from that day and has blossomed into a beautiful discourse.
I'd like to share a simple acronym that I devised to teach Ethan about peace:
P = Passion and Compassion in all Actions
E = Equality for Everyone
A = Appreciation for all People/Cultures
C = Caring for all Creatures
E = End to War
P = Passion and Compassion in all Actions
I talk to Ethan about how lucky we are to be on this earth. How lucky we are to have friends and family who love us and who we love. And how the way that we act can make a difference in the world, by helping others and setting a good example. By always saying "thank you" and being appreciative. Our mantra is "be thankful and be kind". I talk to Ethan a lot about how he can make a difference in the world. About how important it is to love what you do and to do what you can to make the world a better place. One of our favorite books to read is "Only One You". It is a beautiful book about how there is only one you in this world and how you can help make it a better place. Simple things like having Ethan clean out his playroom and take some toys that he has outgrown to a local charity and packing up his coat each winter to send to New York Cares Coat Drive or One Warm Coat has helped him to build compassion. After watching the Haiti benefit with me (he sat through the whole thing!), Ethan started collecting coins from around the house to send to Haiti. And for his birthday this year, Ethan gave up presents to raise money for a well in Africa. It all started with a photo that he saw showing children filling buckets/bottles with water at a well.. and has grown into a wonderful learning experience. http://mycharitywater.org/Ethans5thBirthday
E = Equality for Everyone
I talk to Ethan about how important it is that everyone is treated equally. How in the past this was not always the case. How some people, because they were women or because someone thought they looked different in some way were not treated fairly. I asked Ethan if he had ever experienced this. He said, "Yes, Mommy. When xxxxx came to school with a new haircut everyone made fun of him and didn't let him play with us on the playground." Wow. This example made for a great discussion. I asked Ethan to imagine how he would feel if he was xxxxx. We talked about alternative ways for Ethan to act. To step up so xxxxx wasn't excluded.
A = Appreciation for all People/Cultures
Ethan and I talk a lot about "celebrating differences". I try to point out examples of how wonderful the world is because it is made up of so many different continents and countries and cultures and people. By pointing out different holidays celebrated in different parts of the world throughout the year, I try to help expand his understanding and appreciation. And I have stacked his bookshelf with books that explore and teach about different places and people and cultures. Children love stories and books are a wonderful way to explore the world and these important concepts.
C = Caring for all Creatures
Children are instinctively caring and loving. They love to be hugged and kissed and cared for… and they learn from watching us! It is wonderful to see Ethan comforting another child or comforting a doll or stuffed animal using the same words that I use to comfort him! It also makes me realize how huge the impact is that we have on our children! Ethan has also learned to be kind from having a pet to care for. Our little Maltese is only 7.5 pounds (less than our cat!) and he knows how important it is to be gentle and watch out for her. We also spend a lot of time outdoors exploring nature. Finding insects and frogs and lizards --- and always returning them back to their habitat --- has taught him to be kind and not squish them!
E = End to War
Talking to a child about war and about the terrible things that happen in the world is difficult. I have chosen not to avoid these topics but to be careful not to overwhelm Ethan. We talk about how there are bad things that happen in the world and how some people are unkind to others. I told Ethan about what happened on 9/11. We were at the Liberty Science Center and there was a piece of one of the trade center buildings. I got very emotional and Ethan wanted to know what was wrong --- but he was only 2 ½ years old. So I explained simply that there were 2 tall buildings in New York City with many people in them. And that some bad people stole some airplanes and crashed the planes into the buildings. And that this was a terrible thing. He had many questions…"Why?" and "Were people hurt?" and I answered them all honestly.
There is a wonderful book called "A Child's Garden: A Story of Hope" that has provided a wonderful way to broach this topic. A barbed wire fence, soldiers, a vine and 2 children are woven into a beautiful and thought-provoking story. We have just added it to the Rosie Hippo website. Ethan loves this book and asks to read it often…always with more questions. Some other books we love to read about peace, togetherness, and making a difference are:
Today is the International Day of Peace also known as World Peace Day. It is observed by many nations, political groups, military groups and people. This holiday was established by the United Nations and first celebrated in 1981.
So, take some time today to talk to your child about PEACE. Ask them what it means. Draw a peace sign. Ask your child to draw what they think peace looks like. Talk about what you can do together to celebrate. Read a book together that celebrates differences in the world.
And remember, every day is a day to walk together with peace in every step.
Peace Out!
P.S. Don't you just love our Peace Hat? We do!!

EU in Brief: French call for review on EU market intervention
France is seeking a review of EU market intervention rules to benefit dairy farmers.
France is pushing the Commission to look at the price thresholds at which it intervenes to aid struggling farmers in the cereals, rice, sugar, beef, pork and olive oil markets, which it says haven't been changed in 15 years.
During the last year, the Commission has tripled the amount of milk it buys up in intervention, but it hasn't touched the price thresholds.
EU agriculture ministers are in talks about changing the legal form of the rules — known in EU jargon as the regulation on common market organisations — but they are not touching the content. If there is no agreement on the issue by next February, the rules become null and void, meaning market intervention would cease to exist.
Hogan's Brexit trip home
Phil Hogan will be under a different kind of pressure this week on a trip to Ireland.
He is in Dublin on Thursday to address the Oireachtas European Affairs Committee, ostensibly about the "State of the Union 2016" but, in reality, to assuage fears about Brexit.
He will not deviate from the Commission's mantra that "there can be no negotiation without notification" by the UK of its official decision to leave the bloc.
His boss, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, has forbidden any preliminary talks with the UK before that letter is sent. But there was consternation in Brussels at the indications by Prime Minister Theresa May that she would seek to take the UK out of the single market and the customs union, the 'hard Brexit' option.

After reading thousands of words of insightful commentary about the ideological and academic decline of American college education, its bloated, bubble-like economics, and the corresponding crushing debt burden, what's a parent to do? How can a kid decide?
Do you go to college? If so, where? How do you choose from the competing, extraordinarily expensive options?
What follows is a college plan for people who can't pay for college out of petty cash, who can't painlessly attend a $50,000-per-year niche private school featuring, say, the top lesbian anarchist scholars in the Northeast. In other words, this is a college plan (forgive me for borrowing #Occupy language on NRO) for the 99 percent.
Step 1: Decide if college is right for you. A college degree isn't necessary for financial success. Of course one can point to tech superstars like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs (Time has a nice roundup of top ten college dropouts), but those individuals are outliers. Better examples might include your local carpenters, plumbers, and other skilled workers — or perhaps a veteran noncommissioned officer. Our economy is full of hard workers who do well without that English or marketing degree.
Step 2: Understand that college is generally about credentialing, not prestige. The economic purpose of a college education is relatively simple: It grants you access to jobs that are closed off to those without a degree. Increasingly, that includes jobs that don't actually require college-level skills, but because a degree requirement is one of the few lawful ways to screen out the vast majority of unsuitable applicants, degree requirements flourish.
Step 3: Don't overpay for a credential. There are only two circumstances where you should be willing to go into debt for an undergraduate education — to attend one of the vanishingly small number (fewer than ten) of "shock and awe" schools that grant a substantial and measurable advantage beyond the degree itself, or to obtain an education (like a quality theological education) that truly can't be obtained at a less expensive school.
That's it. No other exceptions. Dad, Granddad, and Great-Grandma went to Expensive Private University? Well, some traditions must come to an end. You just got admitted to the eighth-ranked "liberal-arts program amongst small colleges in the Southeast?" Please. No one cares.
Don't be swayed by the marketing brochures, the bucolic campuses, and the gushing praise from slightly buzzed students. For the vast majority of private schools, ask yourself if spending $200,000 to go to Disneyland is worth the money — because that's what they offer: academic Disneyland, with no lasting benefits greater than those offered by your typical state-supported school.
Step 4: Do as well as you can in the college you can afford. When it comes to undergraduate education, how well you do matters more than where you do it (the dynamic flips a bit in graduate school; more on that later). And, to be very clear, it's not hard to do well. Your classmates will be busy in college — busy sleeping and partying, that is. If you dial back on the booze and buckle down just a tiny bit on the books, then you will stand out.
And standing out matters. That's how you get the good recommendations. That's a key way to make connections. That's how you get the second looks from graduate-school admissions committees. When I was on the admissions committee of an Ivy League law school (Cornell), we cared much more about how well applicants did than where they obtained their degrees. We turned down quite a few prestige-private-school undergrads in favor of outstanding public-school students. GPA and test scores mattered much, much more than the name on the diploma.
Step 5: Save your money and prestige focus for graduate school. If you go to graduate school, the identity of your college gets irrelevant fast. Who has more job options: The person who went to the University of Illinois for college and Harvard for law school, or the person who went to Harvard for undergrad and the University of Illinois for law school?
When I was a hiring partner at a big law firm, we cared not one bit about a student's undergraduate education — except, perhaps, as a conversation starter (that's an expensive icebreaker!). We looked instead at law school, then law-school performance, with a sliding scale based on the quality of the law school. We might interview the top third of the graduating class of a top school while interviewing only the top two or three from a second-tier school. Sounds unfair, but that's how life works when hiring professional-school graduates.
There, prestige matters as much as standing out.
Of course, for conservatives there are many side benefits to adhering to this plan. If just a few more families shift their kids out of extravagantly expensive, marginally prestigious private schools, there will be real downward pressure on tuition, frivolous expenditures and disciplines will fall by the wayside, and we'll have some actual academic reform without having to fight fractious ideological battles.
In other words, the market can work — if only we behave rationally. And college debt is almost never rational.

Outcry over the proposed demolition of Ballykinler Army base in Co Down
The Ministry of Defence has been urged to think again about demolishing 200 homes inside the Ballykinler Army base in Co Down.
One Sinn Fein MLA said the entire Army site should be transferred to the Executive - as others have been in the past.
South Down MLA Chris Hazzard said: "My party wants to see the entire site, including the sections which continue to be used by the British Army and the police as a firing range, vacated by the British military."
"The site should then be transferred to the Executive so that it can be used for the benefit of the entire community."
SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said that the properties could be used to provide affordable housing in the area. The former Social Development Minister who was responsible for housing in the Assembly, said: "There are over 21,000 people in urgent housing stress in Northern Ireland and such housing provision would be ideal."
She suggested the site could also be used to develop a community hub on the former Kindle primary school site at the gates of the camp, not far from Newcastle.
Asking for an urgent meeting with Armed Forces Minister Mike Penning, the South Down MP said: "I am deeply angry that the MoD would even consider demolition of such quality housing when this housing could be put on the open market or when the facility exists for these houses to be made available for social housing.
"There are also many people in the local Ballykinler and Lecale area who are desperate for an opportunity to get on to the first rung of the housing ladder."
Local people are also up in arms over the plan which they argue would lead to a waste of taxpayers' money.
And they also claim the homes were refurbished less than 10 years ago.
Resident David McMullan said: "They should be sold on the open market as happened elsewhere in Northern Ireland.
"A lot of the houses are in very good condition. The officers' houses are quite big and have good-sized gardens.
"It would be a terrible waste of taxpayers' money if they were tossed."
The MoD has already sold off housing on other sites including Mahon Road in Portadown, Pond Park in Lisburn and Ballykelly in Co Londonderry, where 317 houses were put on the market six years ago.
Before they went on sale, many people - some of them first-time buyers - queued for up to a week.
Describing the 199 Ballykinler homes, the MoD website said: "Ballykinler offers modern housing (2007) with en-suite bathrooms and attached garages. Three and four bedroom houses are available."
An MoD spokesman said: "With the reduction in military footprint we are not using the barracks as a base and Defence Infrastructure Organisation will be looking at a range of options.
"Demolition has not actually started and remains one of a number of options being examined."
Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie said the demolition "makes little sense unless it's part of overall sale of the estate".
TUV councillor Henry Reilly, who was stationed in the base as a soldier in the Royal Irish Regiment, warned that the ongoing use of the nearby training complex and firing range could make a house sale problematic.
But Ms Ritchie said: "Arguments about interference from the nearby training range are largely spurious when Army families lived at this location for years, and housing has also existed in Ballykinler village just beside the camp without incident."

text: Here begins an odd adventure!!! I'm a 31 year old Chicago Police SWAT officer looking to open my own restaurant in five years. In Chicago you will only survive if you have a new spin on something or a cuisine not yet covered. Needless to say in a city of 4.5 million that is hard to do. Then a friend of mine from Kansas City informed me of his dream of opening a barbecue joint. Together we have decided that we've found our niche. Chicago's only examples of barbecue lay in the predominantly black neighborhoods or the few small restaurants that convince people that know no better that they have good barbecue. We have begun our quest of going to every place in Chicago as a case study of who's good and who isn't. So far our beliefs have been proven pretty true. CHICAGO DOESN'T HAVE GOOD BARBECUE!!!!! Now the dilemma....while I have attended some culinary school classes I have not covered barbecue or rather smoking which I'm very interested. I have a horizontal Kingsford grill that has the appearant makings of a great smoker I just don't know how. How do you keep the wood from just igniting on the coals? Wet wood or dry? How close from coals to meat? Etc...etc... Anyone up for taking me under their smoky wing? Erick

Who doesn't love to look at a full, layered burlap Easter wreath? They are crafters' favorite because you can just leave them alone to enjoy a more natural, rustic look or embellish to suit the theme of any season or occasion. Easter is around the corner and it is the best time to make an Easter wreath out of burlap. Follow out tutorial to see how much fun, easy, and quick it is to make a burlap wreath for Easter.
Easter Wreath Ideas: How to Make a Burlap Wreath
Image via: Etsy -Grand Entrance Wreaths… – Burlap Wreath for Easter
How to Make a Easter Burlap Wreath Video:
You can watch the Easter burlap wreath video here.
Burlap Wreath Materials:
A 12-inch wire wreath form
2 yards of burlap ribbon
Floral wire or jute twine
Bunny cutout or spring inspired wood cutouts (optional)
A few packs of wired daisies or leaf vine
Festive ribbon – We love this Easter Printed Burlap Ribbon
Image via: Etsy – Easter-themed Burlap Wreath – Twin Angel's Wreaths
How to Make a Burlap Wreath Directions:
- Cut several burlap strips into 5-inch wide each. It doesn't matter if the size is not perfect or the edges are not super neat because the imperfections will get covered when they will be wrapped around the wreath form.
- Take a burlap strip and loop one end of it through the wreath form. Loop through the top, middle, and then the outer rim.
- Follow this pattern as you continue weaving in across the width of the form, covering it entirely.
- To make the wreath look fluffy, push the burlap together after looping a bit. Keep doing this throughout the weaving process. It will make the wreath look fuller and hide any sight of the wire form.
- After finishing the weaving, secure the last end of the strip with a piece of jute twine or floral wire. Be careful that the knot is hid behind the burlap strips.
- Now, take a look at the entire wreath and see if any part of the wire form is visible. If it is showing, hide it by fluffing out a twisted loop or stretching out another one.
Image via: Etsy – Easter Wreath – Chloe's Craft Closet
Decorating the Easter Wreath
- Twist the leaf vine or wired daisies around the wreath and glue wherever it is needed to keep them attached to the frame.
- Now, glue the bunny cutout to the wreath and the plastic eggs to the opposite side.
- Make a cute, small bow with the festive ribbon and glue it just underneath the bunny cutout.
- To make a hanger, create a loop with the floral wire and twist around the wreath form.

UFC Fight Night Brown vs Silva Live Results
Tonight the UFC makes it's way to Cincinnati, Ohio for the latest in its Fight Night cards. The main event features two welterweight fighters looking to get closer to a title shot with a win. On one side of the octagon you have Matt Brown who is riding a six fight win streak with 5 knockouts in that span. Across from him will be a top prospect by the name of Erick Silva. Silva has shown himself to be a very explosive fighter with multiple wins coming in under a minute. The flip side of that is his over eagerness to finish can cost him to take unnecessary counter punches, most notably leading to his loss to Dong Hyun-Kim back in October. Brown on the other hand has shown himself to be a very durable fighter, having never been knocked out in his 29 career fights. His career had a bit of a resurgence going into his 2012 fight with Chris Cope where it appeared he might just be in a do or die situation entering into the fight with a mediocre record. However that fight was the first in his current win streak and he has reinvented himself since.
I feel like whenever Silva fights I find myself saying the same thing. He needs to be patient and fight smart. Brown is the type of fighter who just because he's hurt is far from finished and lately always finds a way to come back and knockout his opponent. Brown is a very strong grappler in addition to being a good boxer but as a purple belt has succumbed to better grapplers a few times in the past. For Silva to win he'll need to be patient with his striking and use them to set up potential opportunities to get the fight to the ground. It'll be there where Silva will have his best chance at securing a victory but far from a sure thing. For me though I want to see that more mature side of Silva and a changed more patient approach before I can see picking him over guys in the top ten. That said I think Brown's toughness and durability will allow him to say in the fight and he'll use his boxing to catch a wreckless Silva to get the win.
The Co-Main event features a pair of middleweights trying to find their way into the top ten. You Costas Philippou trying to rebound from the first two fight losing streak of his career. His opponent Lorenz Larkin is looking to get back into the win column himself following a disappointing decision loss to Brad Tavares. Philippou utilizes his strikes in order to overwhelm his opponents in most of his fights but has shown to have questionable cardio at times and to have a weakness to wrestlers. Larkin is a solid striker with a good chin and is pretty good at getting the fight to the ground. That said I got to think that Lorenz Larkin is going to be able to outwork Philippou and secure a decision victory.
Here's a look at the full card for tonight's event:

You may have heard that there was a massive malfunction during the Olympic Opening Ceremony today: one of the five Olympic rings failed to expand, making the Olympic logo look like four rings and an asterisk… or a butthole, depending on who you ask (via BuzzFeed UK):
But if you were watching the event on television in Russia, you saw the ring explosion as it was intended, thanks to some handy doctoring by Rossiya 1, the Russian state TV station. Producers cut away to recorded rehearsal footage where the fifth ring functioned, to "preserve the images and the Olympic tradition":
The NBC tape-delay version of the Ceremony will show the rings malfunctioning, because America would never, ever lie to you.

Earthships: The Basics
If you´ve heard of them but weren´t really paying attention, here´s class 101
Here at True Activist we´re big fans of Earthships, and most of you will know something about them too. If not, let´s define them like this: A passive solar home, made of natural and recycled materials, with thermal mass construction for natural temperature stabilization. Earthships use renewable energy & integrated water systems, meaning they have little (or no) utility bills. They are designed with sustainability in mind, using a combination of recycled materials, biology and architecture.
Has that peaked your interest? Maybe, but if you´re anything like me, all that trawling through information on the internet can be daunting. This short five minute video covers all the basics of Earthship building, so that those of us who are thinking about taking the next step and getting together the materials to go ahead and build these amazing eco-homes can get a good general idea of how to go about it. Earthships, we predict, are the future. And once you´ve watched this video, you´ll understand why.
More True Activist articles on Earthships and their benefits- as well as ones you´ll wish you lived in- can be found here, here and here (all links open in a new page). Enjoy!

Five years ago, astronaut John Crichton attempted to use the Earth's atmosphere to propel his ship, Farscape 1, at great speeds across the solar system. He went much further though and was sucked down a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy and into the middle of a battle. He was rescued by a group of escaping prisoners and taken aboard their living ship. As the years went by, Crichton has made enemies, powerful and dangerous enemies. On his journey to find a way back home, he freed other captives who became part of the crew on Moya.

Get all of Brad Blanton's books here!
Here, you'll find the revised, bestselling book Radical Honesty, a parenting blueprint, stories of people practicing radical honesty, politics, Brad's autobiography, fiction, and more.
Radical Honesty, NEW Revised Edition e-book:
Radical Honesty, NEW Revised Edition audiobook:
The first edition of Radical Honesty became a nationwide best seller in 1995 because it was not a kinder, gentler self-help book. It was a shocker! In it, Dr. Brad Blanton, a psychotherapist and expert on stress management, explored the myths, superstitions and lies by which we all live. And this newly revised edition is even worse! Blanton shows us how stress comes not from the environment, but from the self-built jail of the mind. What keeps us in our self-built jails is lying.
"We all lie like hell," Dr. Blanton says. Read more here.
Practicing Radical Honesty e-book:
Practicing Radical Honesty audiobook:
Blunt, shocking and sometimes profane, this exciting book blasts self-help and feel-good remedies to expose the lies with which we imprison ourselves. It talks straight, hard and true to the heart of the human condition, pulling no punches. It gives us simple yet revolutionary tools to break out of our minds and into a direct and immediate perception of exactly where we are – then shows us how we can together create a world that works for everyone. Read more here.
Radical Parenting e-book:
Seven Steps to a Functional Family in a Dysfunctional World.
Radical Parenting brings together the revolutionary ideas in psychotherapist Brad Blanton's other books – Radical Honesty, Practicing Radical Honesty and Honest to God (with Neale Donald Walsch). The honesty and openness of the author himself about his own children is combined with the wisdom gleaned from years of work with people suffering from how they were raised.
This book does no less than create an entirely new blueprint for parenting. Read more here.
The Truthtellers e-book:
Stories of Success by Radically Honest People
Freedom is a psychological accomplishment. Only truthfulness will set us free. Many of us already know that in our bones, but we don't always muster the courage to do it – or remember the incredible rewards! From the simple, intensely moving stories in the beginning to the profound and hilarious essays in the end, this book is the best reminder of that reward you will ever come across. Honesty is the source of the ongoing renewal of love. We have the evidence. Read more here.
BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL: The Eternal Split-Second Sound-Light Being e-book:
The novel is about a psychotherapist, Dr. Peter Howard, a clinical psychologist, who goes crazy while in psychotherapy himself. Read more here.
Honest to God e-book:
"Nobody tells the truth about anything anymore. Not anything important. Everybody's lying to everybody else, and everybody knows it." With these words, two great figures in the emerging culture of consciousness begin a searingly powerful dialog about the practical applications of honesty in our everyday lives. Neale Donald Walsh, five times New York Times bestselling author of the book series Conversations with God, and Brad Blanton, noted seminar leader and bestselling author of the Radical Honesty books, here speak with one voice about the new spiritual revolution and its application to both personal and political life. Read more here.
The Korporate Kannibal Kookbook e-book:
We must reframe ourselves as human beings, for the sake of our survival. What we now have structurally in place cannot be beat from within. This system cannot be reformed from within. The terrible message of current times, and the defeat of the idealism of Barack Obama, is that we have to re-empower the money powers that prey upon the nation in order to keep the poor and middle class from dying and losing shelter and means of getting around. Read more here.
Some NEW Kind of Trailer Trash e-book:
Some NEW Kind of Trailer Trash audiobook:
"Can an autobiography also be a manual for personal growth and social change? I think so, and this book shows us how. In his previous books on Radical Honesty, Brad writes about how we are faced with the Sisyphean task of living with the neurotic survival mechanisms we developed to survive our childhoods, and how we can only be happy if we choose to do deliberately what we are condemned to do reactively. In this book we learn how the author has chosen to care for other people as an activist, in order to live his life as an artist, rather than reactively caring for people in order to manipulate them and earn their loyalty. The repurpose-driven life is one obsessed with turning neurosis into gifts, and this book will convince you to lead a repurpose-driven life too." Read the rest of this review, and other glowing reviews, here.
Read more about the book, here.
Honestidad Radical e-book:
El doctor Brad Blanton, psicólogo especializado en la gestión del estrés, hace saltar por los aires los mitos, supersticiones y mentiras entre los que vivimos. Demuestra que el estrés no procede de nuestro entorno, sino que es una jaula que creamos en nuestra mente. Y lo que nos mantiene dentro de esa jaula son las mentiras. Todos mentimos y esas mentiras son lo que causa el estrés. Cuando no le decimos a nuestro cónyuge, jefe o amigos lo que sentimos, nos encerramos todavía más en esa jaula. La única salida, el único camino hacia la felicidad, es la honestidad radical. Honestidad radical ha triunfado en todo el mundo porque no es un libro de autoayuda amable. Leer más aquí.

Transforming Failed Freeways into Successful City Streets - Forum at Redwood City
Don�t Forget!
Transforming Failed Freeways into Successful City Streets
Boris Dramov, FAIA
Wednesday, December 1, 2004
The Little Fox Theatre, Downtown Redwood City
$10.00 fee payable at door
BORIS DRAMOV, FAIA, will be speaking at �The Forum at Redwood City: A Continuing Conversation on City Design� on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST, 2004, from 6:00 - 7:45pm! Don�t miss this provocative discussion on TRANSFORMING FAILED FREEWAYS INTO SUCCESSFUL CITY STREETS and how fixing our streets can restore community and create a sense of place. Please join us as Mr. Dramov shares his innovative k and discuss the implications of these ideas for the state highways and streets in our own communities.
From San Francisco to Oakland to Seattle to Portland to the South Bronx, cities across the country are deconstructing freeways in order to repair the urban fabric and restore a sense of community. On December 1st, Boris Dramov, the recipient of this year�s National AIA Urban Design Award of Excellence, will share his thoughts on how reconstructing streets and highways can help us create more livable environments and create a sense of place. Learn how we can plan and build for transportation in a way that contributes to the urban environment, creates a more livable community, and provides opportunities for development, housing and open space.
Principal of ROMA Design Group, Boris Dramov is a talented architect and urban designer whose work was featured in the 1996 PBS Special, �Back from the Brink.� Mr. Dramov has established a reputation for design excellence and commitment to the improvement of the urban environment both in the United States and abroad. His work has focused on the transformation of the post-industrial city, the creation of livable communities and the design of public spaces. Over the past twenty years, his completed projects have addressed issues related to the revitalization of historic urban centers and enhancing the identity and livability of cities, towns and regions.
Mr. Dramov�s recent work includes the redevelopment of the northeast waterfront in San Francisco, which resulted in the reuse of obsolete industrial and transportation facilities and the creation of the new residential mixed use South Beach and Rincon Point neighborhoods. Following the earthquake in 1989, he designed the necklace of public improvements along the Bay in the area liberated by the removal of the earthquake-damaged Embarcadero Freeway and centered on a major open space and new civic plaza at the historic cross-roads of the city and adjacent to the landmark Ferry Building.
