I am so lucky to have never experienced fleas. I think I would flip.
Odd children just add to the spice of life... as long as they don't try to make him fit in a even hole.
Good luck with the housework - my house is in need of no kids or hubby for a few hours, so I can get it put back together before it all falls apart again!!

The aphorism about the road to hell being paved with good intentions is dramatically illustrated today by the Trudeau Liberals' commitment to aggressive refugee settlement in Canada with no fiduciary forethought.
The direct result is another screwing of taxpayers.
According to a documents obtained by the Canadian Press through Access to Information, the flood of asylum claims – through legal refugee channels and queue-jumping at unmanned border crossings – could eventually create an 11-year wait for claimant processing and almost $3 billion in federal social support.
This is unconscionable.
Not only it is a burden to taxpayers who must pay the freight for Justin Trudeau's wish to bathe in the limelight as the leader of a country that embraces compassionate diversity, regardless of the cost, but it is also a suckering of legitimate refugees who came here believing their transition would go smoothly.
As a result, Trudeau should be looked upon as the male equivalent of the crazy cat lady who blindly gathers up refugees like stray kittens without first considering the cost of their upkeep.
The difference, of course, is crazy cat ladies don't have taxpayers to pay the bills.
Trudeau does, and that's the problem.
His desire to be the big man on the international campus, and looked upon as an all-inclusive progressive with welcoming arms, has paved a road to hell for the taxpayer.
Add to this the screw-up that some 90% of the 25,000 government-sponsored Syrians – many of them fast-tracked without proper screening – haven't yet found jobs, while half of privately-sponsored refugees are already working.
Bottom line? The Trudeau Liberals have failed miserably on managing the immigration and refugee file.
This assessment does not come from the outside. It comes directly from the Immigration Department which was asked by the Liberals to evaluate where they stood on refugee matters.
The 11-year wait, and the $3 billion price tag, came from their own bureaucrats, not from outsiders.
It was an internal indictment.
The memo to the Liberals projects that asylum-seeking claims this year will hit 36,000, and not stop growing, the unstated reason being U.S. President Donald Trump putting the kibosh on refugees and travelers from most Muslim-dominated countries.
By the end of 2021, says the memo, the total refugee inventory will hit 192,700 claims, the equivalent of 133 months of output for the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), and therefore a wait time for claimants of 11 years.
The report low-balled the monthly amount of federal social support at $600 per claimant but, nonetheless, it will add up to a staggering $3 billion from 2017 through 2021, just to care for the growing influx of refugees and asylum-seekers.
This is not due to unintended consequences but because of the Liberals' intentional neglect of their fiscal responsibilities.
They either ignored the costs, or did not factor them in.
Either way, it's a flagrant neglect of their sworn duty to guard taxpayer dollars against any and all abuses.
And it is not as if they were not warned.
According to the Canadian Press report, the IRB has been warning the Liberals for months that they are in way over their heads in their ability to keep pace with the rising numbers.
The government's response?
Another study of the immigration system, of course, and a report back by the summer of next year.
In other words, kick this harsh reality down the road.

Since summer 2015, the UNHCR encounters great difficulties in distributing food to Syrian refugees in Jordan, by lack of means. Syrian refugee women live in constant insecurity and are no longer able to feed their children. Many of them see no other solution than prostitution to meet their needs and those of their families.
It is more than urgent to communicate this reality to the civil society and the media, so that policy makers allow the UNHCR and local institutions to balance their budget. Thus, Syrian refugees in Jordan can at least feed themselves, get proper ID documents and earn a living.
The SURGIR Foundation undertook the shooting of this 26 mn documentary film collaborating with film director Beatrice Bahkti, from Troubadour Films, and with the support of the Michele Berset Foundation, FEDEVACO and Mr. van den Broek d'Obrenan.
« The downward circle of syrian women refugees » will be released in the last quarter 2016.

Megan Thurman, an American photographer, is also a student in Southern California majoring in English and minoring in Art (focused on photography). She started shooting seriously after a trip to Europe on summer during high school, uses both digital and film cameras. "Everything I saw was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave it behind. When I came home, I began using photographs in school projects to illustrate what we read in my senior year literature class. From there, I became more involved in taking portraits of friends."
Megan found her grandfather's Canon AE-1 and began using it with cheap colour film. She is currently working on a series focused on women in literature and tragedy, especially with black and white film. "My love for literature tends to blend into my photography because narratives are very important to me."

Two New Comics!
It's taken forever but Becky and I have 2 new webcomics for you!
www.FuzzyOutlaws.com has just launched as a sci-fi adventure staring a rabbit and a robot in space. Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays
and also
www.DuckAndRabbit.net also launched this week describing the complicated relationship between a duck and a rabbit. Updates 5 days a week!
Be sure to check them both out.
Love Michael
I'm still working on my drawing techniques. Here's my latest work of art. A Bulbasaur. Always has and always will be my most favorite-est pokey-man.
Dynamic Sketching Workshop
Two blog posts in one day! Crazy ol' world.
I recently bought the 3 week subscription to the Dynamic Sketching Workshop at
I would like to take the 6 week class but there are about 8 classes I want to take and at $600 per class, I will have to save my pennies first.
ANYWAY. Here are two quick images I drew after watching the workshop. I just used my camera phone to snap the shots. They are drawn using ink pigment liners, a 40% warm grey felt and a while gel pen. It's tricky because you can't erase anything and if you've ever seen me draw, you know I abuse my erasers.
I watched Jurassic Park while drawing that first one. It's of course a Dilophosaurus. That's the spitting one in the movie (they didn't spit in real life. Artistic license, you know)
A Maple Leaf! I'm in Canada after all. Becky actually inspired this one. We walked to the Farmers Market yesterday during the most stereotypically autumn day I've ever experienced and bought maple flavored almonds. Maple is just about her favorite flavor ever. Normally I wouldn't put so much texture in an image like this but it was also an experiment in texturing.
Well, I'm going back to sketching. I have some short one-off comics in my head I'd like to write which I think will end up in the comic feed eventually.
Love Michael
The Future of Stick Dinosaurs
Hello peeps,
As most of you have noticed, there hasn't been a new comic for a while. Fact is, Becky and I are too busy to keep updating the comic every day. Most of my drawings now are technical practice and not stick figures. I love the Stick Dinosaurs but I'm not sure how to continue it and develop my art skills at the same time.
So for the mean time, the site is on hiatus. I'm going to start updating the blog more often so keep checking back for that.
Michael Ward
~Happiest Anniversary, M'Love~
August 21, 2013 Mike and I shared our 2 year anniversary.
I wrote this poem for him last year and wanted to share it on here for our lovely Stick Dinosaur fans.
The brightness in your eyes
Cast a light which never ends
Before our love was realized
We started out as friends
With friendship, came the courtship
Which then turned into love
The rain that once poured down on us
Has stopped from up above
Our dreams have seemed to come alive
Our fears have turned to dust
Holding you, I feel at home
For in your arms I trust
My heart has captured all of it
My eyes have froze in time
Fixated on the one I love
Blessed to call you mine
Our darkened rain has faded now
And in it's place leaves light
A brightness only we can see
And there's no end in sight
My love for you has strengthened me
And with our love brings light
For in each other, we found a future
On those lovely summer nights
He's my everything. I love him more and more each day and I can't imagine my life without him.
Everyday, he tells me I'm beautiful. Everyday he makes me feel special. And everyday, he shows me how much he loves me. A love like that is so rare and I'm beyond blessed to have him in my life.
We have found our happy place, in one another.
I love him.
Always have. Always will.

[ The longest-running operation of all the great early photographers, George Burke and George Brace covered baseball in one form or another for the better part of the 20th century--from 1929 to the 1990s. Their tenure had an auspicious beginning, to say the least. In 1929, Cubs manager Joe McCarthy and catcher Gabby Hartnett sought out the ballclub's previous photographer. They could only remember his last name, Burke, so they looked him up in the phone book. A listing leapt out at them: studio photographer George C. Burke, whose office was located near Wrigley Field. Thus began the baseball photography career of George Burke, who had no prior sports experience, and thus ended the career of photographer Francis Burke--the Cubs' time-honored official cameraman and an unwitting victim of mistaken identity.

Sermon for Easter Sunday
Mark 16:1-8
As a rule, it is fair to say that a decent writer is made better through the work of a good editor. I should know… I'm married to a good editor, who on more than the odd occasion has tidied up, corrected, and otherwise improved my writing. And then there's Kyla Neufeld, the managing editor for our website, who has a knack for making things all read a bit more cleanly.
- To hear the sermon, simply click the link:
So it might be tempting to suggest that Mark could have used a good editor. The biblical scholar Larry Hurtado characterized Mark's Greek as being "simple and unsophisticated," noting that he uses "many simple sentences connected by the [Greek] word for 'and.'" The novelist Reynolds Price writes of Mark's "pawky roughness of language and movement—Jesus came here and did this; then at once he turned elsewhere and did that," adding that this Gospel, "reels out its jerky, very peculiar story at full-tilt speed and with what seem the first words at hand—a small and modest vocabulary." It is true; Mark does seem to grab the first words he has at hand, and he keeps tying it all together with the Greek word kai, or "and." "And he went," "And he did," "And entering the place," and, and, and…
Mark's other favourite word is eutheOs, generally translated "immediately." Someone—usually Jesus—is forever "immediately" doing something or going somewhere, which is part of why Price refers to the feel of the whole as being reeled out at "full-tilt speed." Implying no disrespect—not to the editors in the crowd, nor to Mark himself—I suspect that in a modern context Mark's draft would have been sent back to him for some serious rewrites.
I suspect that when you heard the gospel read aloud tonight, you will have noticed the abruptness of its ending. According to Mark, the women have gone to the tomb, yet when they arrive they find the stone has been rolled away from its entrance, and that inside there is a young man dressed in white who tells them that Jesus has been raised. This figure in white then instructs them to "go tell his disciples and Peter that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you." Their response, according to Mark, is anything but joyous: "So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid."
That's it. They fled in terror and amazement, and said not a word to anyone, for they were afraid. Not only was that the end of today's reading, but in the best and most ancient manuscripts that's where the whole gospel ends. The women are amazed and frightened, and so they run from the tomb and don't even speak of the experience to Peter. Silence. Fade to black. The end.
That's it? Better call for an editor before this goes to print… which in some respects is exactly what happened. There are other quite ancient manuscripts in which an ending seems to have been appended, and in any good modern translation this will be indicated by added brackets or by a footnote. For instance, in the so-called "Shorter Ending of Mark," an editor added this:
And all that had been commanded them they told briefly to those around Peter. And afterwards Jesus himself sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.
A nice two sentence conclusion to tidy it all up; the problem is, the character of the Greek is utterly unlike that of Mark. And then there is the eleven verse "longer ending," but again it doesn't really fit with Mark's writing style. Sometimes editors can miss the target.
While some biblical scholars are convinced that Mark did write a longer ending, and that it was lost or damaged somewhere along the line, I really do think that he intended to end his gospel in this manner. He is not going to draw his gospel too neatly to a close, because all the way through his book Mark has been refusing neat closure and easy conclusions. He moves his story quickly and without apology, painting a Jesus with such broad strokes that it can be quite difficult to really bring him into focus. There is no birth story in Mark, and no genealogy; Jesus simply materializes at the Jordan River, looking to be baptized by John. Mark gives only a very few parables and almost no extended sections of teaching. No Lord's Prayer, no beatitudes, no sign of Mary and Martha much less of their brother Lazarus. And from the cross, the only thing Mark records Jesus as having said is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
What Mark does bring into focus, though, is the impact Jesus has on those around him, almost as if he believes the best way to tell his audience about Jesus is by showing what he does to people. Mark spills a fair bit of ink on the healing of the blind, the maimed, the leprous, and the spiritually oppressed. He keeps showing us how quickly people in need recognize the healing and restorative power of Jesus, and at the same time he shows just how little the poor disciples really understand any of it; how often they are pictured as being left in fear or puzzlement by something Jesus has said or done. We watch as Jesus evokes resistance on the part of the authorities, a very real yet still fragile loyalty from his disciples, and a rather fickle devotion from the crowds who see him as having something for them. At the beginning of the Gospel, the voice of God calls Jesus "Son," and then several times during the narrative the unclean spirits do the same. At Jesus' death, it is the centurion—an enemy soldier and executioner—who utters those famous words, "Surely this man was Son of God."
No other human person makes this confession in Mark, all of the other human characters remaining pretty much in the dark. At the very end there is only the sight of those women—devoted followers, who had known Jesus well—running in fright. What can that possibly mean?
"Mark intended to end his story as we have it," suggests Price, "in literal midair while the women flee the tomb in terror. Such an apparently reckless last-minute abandonment by an author of his reader's keenest final expectation is thoroughly characteristic of the kind of narrator Mark has been throughout his book. This is my story, suddenly told—you tell it from here."
"This is my story, suddenly told—you tell it from here." Or put another way, can you see past the fright of the women, the confusion of the disciples, the demands of the crowds, and the hostility of the authorities, and see what that centurion was able to see? And if you can, then you need to "tell it from here," both in your words and in the way your lives are re-shaped in light of this new thing that God has done and is doing.
Though he's inclined to think that Mark probably did write something by way of a conclusion to his gospel and that it was lost or ruined somewhere along the line during those dangerous decades of hidden meetings and religious persecution, N.T. Wright does offer another way of thinking about Mark's clipped ending. Wright suggests that given that this gospel was written to be read aloud in community, perhaps the expectation was that when the reader came to the end, it was his or her job to put down the scroll and take up the story; to tell of all that had unfolded since those women fled in fear on that resurrection day, and to proclaim that the risen Lord is very much present in the life of the reader, the community, and the world.
He is.
Alleluia! Christ is risen!

For me, it's that we don't get to go and get all new school supplies and a new lunch box every year! Isn't that silly? As a kid, I LOVED picking out my new notebooks and folders and such, so I find myself drooling in Wal Mart now at the beginning of back to school season. I just can't justify buying new crayons when we've got 5 million at home! Oh well, I guess it just saves us money!
Matthew doesn't really have any friends. I am going to "fix" that this year, we are finally planning on joining a home school group, that is supposed to be REALLY great. He did make a few new friends in a program that he was in last year and will be in again this year. We moved out here about 4 years ago, no family out here. So, he hasn't really met people. He went to Public School for 2 years, but because of his behavior problems, he was osterisized (sp).
My biggest regret thus far is not being organized enough and procrastinating.
I agree with you lisa - the whole shopping for new school stuff is FUN. I love it. I went to the dollar store the other day and bought each of the girls pencil boxes, a new pair of scissors, crayons (Disney Princesses and Tinkerbell) erasers, special pencils, a ruler, glue sticks and pencil crayons. Sure we have a bajillion of them around the house but I want to fill their pencil boxes at the start of every school year with things that they use just for "school".
As for socialization that has been something that has really bothered me. My youngest daughters have each other but I feel that my oldest is missing out on alot. When we move things will be different because she has many friends in the town that we have the other house in.
You know, it kinda makes sense to get at least a little bit of new stuff...just to make the start of school special. Reilly and Declan were asking me for some cool scissors the other day at Wal Mart, and they were only a couple of dollars. Plus, they went to Home Depot with my DH this past Saturday and got to make a wooden pencil box, so it would be cool to have some new things to put in there. It'll cost me, what? $10, maybe? I may rethink this a little bit!
hmmmm good question. I just started homeschooling last year so really not any regrets other than I was over zealous and pushed too hard for the first part of the year. I hope to make up for it this year and now that I know I can do it, mellow out some. :lol:
I'm going to agree with you all
The shopping, the disorganization, the socialization, and Yes I did push too hard in the beginning I think we all do that huh?
although knowing my boy's personality he would definetly be a bully magnet on the playground, so I guess I wish I could have the socialization that everyone THINKS school gets kids KWIM?
It's as though grownups get out of school and 15 years down the road, look back on it with rose colored glasses and forget what a he** school can be!!
I worry that my social dd wont get as much time to socialize as she would like. Well I know she wont. I'm a homebody, there are no close homeschool groups to go to and no homeschool classes. Schools here still have a decent length lunch time recess for playing after eatting. Shes an outgoing kid I would asume she would be playing with other kids at recess. However the kind of socilaizing that I know will happen as she gets older is not what I want for her anyway. At the moment she has church and dance, and most weeks gets to play with her friend after dance for awhile, but not always. I often wonder when she will start to complain about this. :unsure: Kids club runs at our church on a Thu arvo from grade 2 up, hopfuly that will do. Then there will be our ds to think about....
hrmm. i wish i were more organized. or that i could afford some of the already organized curriculum packages! i've always been bad with organization, so homeschooling here can get kind of funky on days when the kids are gung-ho about something and i've lost what they need to continue, kwim?
and i also, honestly, miss the free time i had when the kids were in school. i feel that way only rarely, but there are days when i could use a few hours away. i really look forward to Thursday evenings because i go out to a knitting group.
Me, I don't have any regrets. Frustrations that I can't do it all, but no regrets.
frustrations, but no regrets here too.

Signed up for a trial period of Reading Kingdom. It's a whole word based reading program. So far, the lad is bored silly with it. He doesn't like that he has to find letters on the keyboard and it doesn't give him enough time to do so. I'll encourage him to keep at it, the sessions are really short so it shouldn't be too onerous for him. I do have to admit that part of it he likes (where he has to find pictures or click on things on the computer screen), but mommy isn't allowed to help him at all so he finds that a challenge - particularly when it comes to using the keyboard.
The program takes a multi approach to learning how to read. not only knowing how to see the word and read it, but also learning how to spell it at the same time.
I like learning to read phonetically as I think it will serve a person well in the long run, but I don't see the harm is blending methodologies of learning to read either. Some words just don't sound out well... and for those words you need to recognize the pattern of them in order to read them. So we'll work with this for a month and see what we think at the end of it.
The lad also played some thinking and logic games on the computer today. One was a math game where he had to accumulate points in order to progress in the game, and the rest were thinking games. I found it interesting that sometimes he was able to figure things out sooner than I was. :)
Playing with Lego was a big thing today as well. It was a snow day, and a Friday so we take things easy. It was a good day and he learned a thing or two so it's all good. :)

Electricity Trailer (2007)
01 January 2007 7 mins
A Bohemian architectural dance film with an edge. The inner city landscape of Prague, its beautifully integrated accretion of structures, 1000 years history repressed but un-bombed, is viewed through the rhomboidal electricity-catchers on the tops of its moving trams. Trams define the rhythm of the city, & so their looped noises define the rhythm of this film. As contrapuntal fixed point, the Zizkov Tower--built by the Soviets for signal-jamming broadcasts from the West & looking like an about-to-launch ICBM--is accompanied by actual Cold War shortwave spy broadcasts.

KAI RYSSDAL: The top story in Washington today was the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. But there were some rumblings in the health-care debate. Not in the usually polite language of the political processs, either. A couple of weeks ago Wal-Mart said it thinks companies should be required to provided health insurance for their employees. That's what's known as an employer-mandate.
Today the National Retail Federation -- of which Wal-Mart is pointedly not a member -- took very public exception to that position. Marketplace's Jeremy Hobson has more.
JEREMY HOBSON: Even without Wal-Mart, the National Retail Federation, or NRF, represents 1.6 million businesses. It thinks it has a big enough army to go head-to-head with the largest retailer in the country.
NEIL TRAUTWEIN: We'll fight with them where we have to fight with them, we'll work with them where we can.
That's NRF spokesman Neil Trautwein. He says requiring employers to provide health care is untenable, because it would force businesses to raise prices to cover costs.
TRAUTWEIN: Retail is an extremely labor-intensive industry, and we're not able to increase prices in the midst of this recession. In fact, we're discounting to get foot traffic into our stores.
Wal-Mart isn't having much trouble getting traffic into its stores. But Charles Fishman, author of "The Wal-Mart Effect," says that's not why it's pushing employer-mandated health care. He says the reason is that Wal-Mart already insures more of its employees than its competitors do -- 52 percent of Wal-Mart's U.S. workers are covered; other retailers average 45 percent.
CHARLES FISHMAN: They'd like the federal government to help level the playing field. They don't want to provide better health insurance than everyone else, because that costs them money that their competitors then don't end up spending.
Wal-Mart wouldn't talk to us on tape. But a spokesman said the current health-care situation is unsustainable. So far, the National Retail Federation hasn't endorsed any Congressional plan to fix the nation's health-care system.
I'm Jeremy Hobson for Marketplace.

Thanks, Michael, for taking the fight to those vicious online bullies
Okay. Here's a rather embarrassing, dare I say even slightly humiliating, confession to make – I have developed something of a man-crush on Michael O'Leary.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's anything weird or twisted or freaky, it's just a growing sense of admiration for a man who most likely revels in the fact that he is one of the most reviled people in the country.
And why do I have so much time for the guy?

So, I'm not exactly sure why, but the week I was supposed to be observed, I thought I would start doing book clubs. I guess I'm that kind of person! Anyway, the book clubs turned out fabulously! I think the trick was taking it one day at a time. Here's how I got the clubs going.
- I didn't have my whole class start the book clubs. I started with my 2 highest reading groups which is about half of my class.
- I presented 10 different books to the students. I read the summaries from the back of each book. After I read about all of the books, I let the kids look at the pictures and check out the choices.
- I then gave each of the kids a sticky note and had them put their name on it. They then wrote their top 3 choices on the note. They did not find out the book they were getting at that time. I collected the notes to look at later. That gave me time to figure out who chose what and allowed me to tweak a couple of the groups. :) (don't act like you never fudge the groups a little...I know you do too!) LOL I ended up with three different book clubs.
- The next day, during my Daily 5 time, I gave one of the groups their book, a planning sheet, a thick questions sheet and a Basic Rules Book. I decided that it would be best for there to only be one group running at a time. This worked out beautifully. I was able to run my reading group and check on the book club as well.
- The kids just follow the directions on the page...it is like a script for them. I really didn't have to be with them much. It was really exciting to watch. They really took over and didn't need me...Boo Hoo...NOT! I love when kids become independent!! That's one of the highs of my day...when they solve their own problems and are so BIG!

While it may seem counter-intuitive to plan a trip to the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World" in the spring and summer, the fact is, Indiana County, Pa., has something fun to offer to travelers year-round.
For outdoor enthusiasts, there's the opportunity to enjoy 64 miles of walking and riding trails that meander throughout the county along abandoned railroad routes.
The Hoodlebug Trail, which is named after a self-propelled passenger coach that provided service until 1940, runs from the town of Indiana to a point where it intersects with the Ghost Town Trail in Black Lick.
Along that rails-to-trails route, hikers and bikers can view the Eliza Furnace Historic Site, which dates to 1846 and is one of Pennsylvania's best preserved iron furnaces.
There are also the remains of eight mining towns that were abandoned in the 1900s, earning the Ghost Town Trail its name.
Smicksburg, in the northern part of the county, is a wonderful place to walk and shop. It is located in the heart of Amish country.
"People enjoy coming here because they say it takes them back in time," said Patty Painter, of The Drying Shed, who, along with her cat, Sammy, has enjoyed welcoming people to her six-room store in the center of town for the past nine years.
"They sit out on our porch and just watch the Amish buggies go by—it's life as it should be."
Thousands of people visit Smicksburg to enjoy the area's festivals, including a Spring Open House on May 3 where area merchants display their newest merchandise, and Strawberry Saturday on June 7, which includes locally grown strawberries in and on everything from cobblers to ice cream to cheesecake.
During Penny Candy Days, July 4–5, area businesses give out free old-time, nostalgic treats, ranging from wax lips to candy necklaces.
For a real taste of Amish life, visitors can make reservations to attend the Amish Wedding Feast at Thee Village Eatinghouse, where a costumed narrator provides a historical look into the Amish community's wedding custom-s.
The hearty menu is unique to the western Pennsylvania Amish and nothing goes to waste — including the celery centerpiece.
Enjoy local libations
Just up the road, Windgate Vineyards and Winery offers tours as well as the chance to sample wines before shopping for antiques, American and English furniture, and more.
A drive south to the town of Homer City
provides the opportunity to sample some truly unique libations, including premium blue corn vodka, cherry whiskey, and apple brandy at the recently opened Disobedient Spirits, an artisan distillery.
Of course, you can't visit Indiana County without taking time to visit the museum of its most famous native son, Jimmy Stewart.
Located on Philadelphia Street next to the courthouse where the actor's statue stands, the museum not only celebrates Stewart's Hollywood accomplishments, but his triumphs as a military figure, civic leader, and family man.
Though it's earned its place as the most popular attraction in the area, the museum itself is just as welcoming and down-to-earth as the man it honors. It provides a fitting tribute to his roots, including a view of the former site of his father's hardware store.

I opted for Italian Style meatballs for these but you could also use Turkey, Angus or the Homestyle meatballs.
The best part about both of these recipes, is one batch of meatballs covers them both! Toss a jar of your favorite pasta sauce in a pan, and dump in a bag of Cooked Perfect Italian Style Meatballs. Cook them over medium heat for 25 minutes and your meatballs are done and delicious!
Meatball Pizza
- 1 Bag of Cooked Perfect Italian Style Meatballs (or other flavor of your choice)
- 1 Package of Sliced Provolone Cheese
- 1 Jar Pasta Sauce in your favorite flavor
- Pizza Crust – pre-made or homemade
For the meatball pizza, get your dough ready while the meatballs are cooking and set it aside. Once the meatballs are done cooking, remove them from heat and get your dough on the pan. Top the dough with pasta sauce from the pan. Cut the meatballs in half so they sit on the pizza better, and make a row of four across until the pizza is covered. Finally, place slices of provolone cheese on top, and bake according to the pizza dough directions, for me it was at 50 for 10 minutes.
When you remove the meatball pizza from the oven, you will have deliciously cheesy and meaty pizza ready to eat!
Slice it up, sprinkle on some red pepper flakes if you want a little bit of spice, and enjoy!
Italian Meatball Stackers
- 1 Bag of Cooked Perfect Italian Style Meatballs (or other flavor of your choice)
- 1 Jar Pasta Sauce in your favorite flavor
- Loaf of Italian Bread
- Parmesan Cheese
The remaining pasta sauce and meatballs in the pan, are perfect for Italian Meatball Stackers! Simply slice up a loaf of Italian bread, and toast it if you would like. Top each slice with a spoonful of sauce and a meatball. Using little food picks makes it easy to grab the meatballs and put them on the bread. Plus, they are fun for parties! 😉
The final touch on the Italian Meatball Stackers is a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. You can't have pasta sauce and meatballs without some cheese, right? 😀
Cooked Perfect Meatballs seriously make these recipes SO easy! I love that you can warm up these meatballs in the oven, on the stove-top, or microwave. When you have the best ingredients flame-broiled, you get flavorful no matter how you do it. The quality of these meatballs makes it easy to create lots of different recipes. Meatball subs, Swedish Meatballs, spaghetti and meatballs, bbq meatballs, and now meatball pizza for a dinner touchdown! 😀

text: I am researching the cost effectiveness of building an AR-15 set up the way I want it versus buying a complete AR and fine tuning it. Both ideas have positives and negatives, but my most pressing question involves Rock Rivers... On their online catalog, the LAR-15 midlength can be had in either the A2 or A4 varieties. Aside from price - the A2 is $35 more than the A4 - and weight - the A2 is 7.5 lbs and the A4 is 7.1 lbs, what's the difference? Tia!

In this weeks round up of the local news from Fethiye, Oludeniz, Hisaronu, Kayakoy and area includes north wind brings sub zero temperatures, bus crash injures eight, and more.
North Wind Brings Sub Zero Temperatures To The Area
The Area
A north wind ripped over the area this week causing temperatures to plummet.
The mercury was close to zero even at sea level.
That prompted tomato growers to heat their greenhouses to protect their crops from crop killing frost.
At at sea winds reached almost 50 knots and caused some disruption to shipping and fishing.
On land the strong winds caused a bit of damage to property with only a few incidents reported including a shed roof that blew off.
Snow fell at higher altitudes and around Mugla on Saturday.
The winds finally subsided on Thursday but the single digit temperatures continued through to Saturday and temperatures were not expected to return to their seasonal norms until this week.
Bus Crash
Esenkoy, Fethiye
A midi bus crashed on the Yayla road on its way from Antalya to Fethiye at around 9pm on Thursday evening.
Eight people were injured in the incident including the driver, six Turkish nationals and a person named Christine Jenkinson it was reported.
The bus operated under the Fethiye Seyahat line was reported to have rolled as the result of a tyre blow out.
Emergency teams battled in the freezing conditions to administer first aid and transport the injured to hospital in Fethiye.
The Police are investigating the incident.

His family accompanied him to the event and said that this will really help him to get out and about around Fethiye.
The is second such chair to have been donated by the volunteers in as many weeks.
Food Hygiene Visits Increased
Officers from the Environmental Health Department of Fethiye Council were featured in the local press this week carrying out food hygiene checks at local food establishments.
They focused their attention on the use of cooking oils.
A council official was quoted as saying that cooking oils can only be used a certain number of times before they need changing.
The strict control on the use of cooking oils is designed to reduce the harmful effects that the old can create such as stomach upsets.
Officials use an electronic device to measure the quality of the oil.
Citizens were also reminded that if they have any waste oil that the council can collect it.
The waste oil should be put in a plastic bottle or a jar and deposited outside for collection.
Fethiyespor brought their winning streak to three when they beat Adana Demirspor at home 2-1.

I have a question though for those who have seen the movie. However, I don't want to give the movie away for those who haven't. So if you have seen the movie (or read the book), you know who the wolf is. If you were Valerie, what would you have done in the end? Just answer kill or change. Me and my husband were discussing this as we left the theater. He said he wouldn't have killed, he would have changed. I don't know. Given the circumstances I probably would have changed too.
Aywhoo, during the movie there were a few technical difficulties with the sound. It only lasted a little while and it didn't really take from the movie. We could still understand what they were saying, the dialogue was just lower than the background music and side effects. Nevertheless, as we were leaving the theather, management gave us all free tickets to another movie! Yay! The hubs wants to go see Rango. I'm not really feeling it (even though Johnny Depp is my absolute favorite actor) but he did sit through Red Riding Hood and I Am Number Four with me. So I guess I will be going to see Rango!

The impending reductions in the prices of electricity and natural gas in Armenia are aimed at improving the ruling Republican Party's chances of winning the April 2017 parliamentary elections, opposition leaders said on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Karen Karapetian called for such price cuts shortly after he took office two months ago. Armenia's Russian-owned gas distribution network, which has been managed by Karapetian in the past, last week formally asked utility regulators to lower its retail tariffs by more than 5 percent. The Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) subsequently indicated its intention to reduce the electricity price as well.
These developments came less than a month after the retail prices of petrol unexpected fell by at least 5 percent. Gasoline imports to Armenia have long been controlled by a handful of companies belonging to government-linked individuals.
"They can call it the Republican Party's New Year gift to Armenia's citizens," said Naira Zohrabian of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK). "They can name the gas and electricity price reductions after the Republican Party. For me, the main thing is to see Armenia's citizens benefit from that."
"Is that election-related? It definitely is, because it was always possible for them to lower the gas and energy tariffs. Why are they doing it now?" Zohrabian told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
Parliamentary leaders of another major opposition party, the Armenian National Congress (HAK), also attributed the price cuts to the upcoming elections, which will determine who will govern Armenia after President Serzh Sarkisian completes his final term in 2018.
"We've been demanding that for years," said Aram Manukian, an HAK lawmaker. "Have they just opened their ears?"
"Four months before the elections, they suddenly realized that the people and opposition forces have been complaining [about high energy tariffs] for years," he said.
But Eduard Sharmazanov, the HHK spokesman, denied that the tariff cuts are politically motivated. He said that the ruling party would have been the election favorite even without these measures.

HINDS COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) — Three people were arrested Thursday in connection with a couple of house burglaries.
Sheriff Victor Mason said one of the victims is an investigator for the sheriff's department.
Authorities arrested 21-year-old Deundre Pinkston, 18-year-old Kourvaci Lee, 21-year-old Davoris Owen. Pinkston is charged with two counts of house burglary. Lee is charged with one count of house burglary and auto burglary. Owens is facing a receiving stolen property charge.
Deputies said Pinkston burglarized an investigator's home Wednesday on W. Northside Drive. Thursday, Pinkston and Lee allegedly broke into another home on the same street. A car was burglarized on N. Norrell Road also.
Owens was found later with an iPhone 6 that was taken from the car that was burglarized.
Other stolen property, including three TVs, a weed eater, a leaf blower, and clothes, was also recovered.
Pinkston and Lee allegedly went door-to-door offering to rake yards. If no one was home, the suspects kicked in the door and burglarized the house. They also looked inside vehicles for items to steal, deputies said.
"We've seen this M.O. before," said Sheriff Mason. "Criminals who case neighborhoods by pretending to be looking for yard work. Too bad these three didn't actually intend to do an honest day's work," he added. "Instead, they found out the old saying is true: Crime doesn't pay."
The three men are being held at the Raymond jail.

Theft Scams
Here, customers will send their broken chains to the postal gold company, once they have received a quote and used the online calculator. After the gold company has weighed and valued the jewelry, they telephone the customer to verify the price (which is substantially lower than the valuation by the online calculator). Naturally, customers ask for their jewelry to be returned, and the company sends it back to them. However, the jewelry sent back will weigh less than it weighed when posted.
Sadly, this is very common practice with some postal gold firms. The firms know that they cannot make money from the transaction, so they clip off several links of the chain. Thus, although they have sent the chain back, they still earn a nice profit. Proving this has happened is very hard. If you intend to try out a postal gold firm, you ought to weigh your chain, etch a distinctive mark on both end links, and take a photograph of the items (try to include the etched links in the photograph).
Undervaluing and Under Weighing
If you appear as if you do not understand what the weight/purity of your gold is, many buyers will use that to their advantage. Simply put, permitting one gold dealer to value your gold, when you are not aware of its correct value, is a recipe for disaster. This ranks among the most straightforward cash for gold scam tactics out there. If you do not know that your necklace is 18 carat, a gold dealer may quite happily buy it from you like it was a 14 carat, or even a 9 carat.
Similarly, if you are unaware of your jewelry's weight, a postal gold dealer may be quite happy to deliberately weigh your items incorrectly. On current prices, if they under weigh by only 1 gram of 9 carat, they have profited about $18.00. This would be a profit of $894.00 from stealing 0.5 grams from 100 customers.
Undisclosed Processing/Refining Fees
Each one of the numerous online postal gold dealers wants to claim that they will pay the country's best rates. Suffice to say, offering the general public the best gold prices is an excellent unique selling point. Obviously, it is not possible for all of the country's gold buyers to offer the best prices. There are several dealers who add undisclosed refining charges, or who quote live/spot prices on their online calculators. Most of the time, this will not be the real price you get. Thus, it is fair to call this a cash for gold scam.

CHARD'S winning run in South East 1 of the Davis Wood league came to an end when they were beaten 3-2 at East Devon B.
Their once consolation was that they hold on to third place in the table.
East Devon enjoyed plenty of the early possession but Chard eventually settled before taking the lead.
Brendan Viggers threaded a great ball behind the defence to Matt Sheahan who squared across the keeper for Bertie Squires to calmly sweep home.
Unfortunately for the visitors East Devon equalised with a scrappy goal just before half time.
In the second half Chard upped their game and were soon awarded a short corner which Brendan Viggers converted with a powerful shot into the bottom corner.
As the second half progressed the game became heated and a good deal more physical, with the umpires having to speak to the captains to try and gain some control.
As a result the game became very stop-start and Chard were unable to get into a rhythm.
East Devon then sneaked the ball over the line in a goal-line scramble to draw the scores level.
The heated nature of the game continued to escalate and when a sliding East Devon defender bundled into Viggers – not for the first time – East Devon were reduced to ten.
Chard put in plenty of effort in to make the most of the extra man with some good efforts from Murphy and Squire and a goal disallowed from Sheahan.
But it proved to no avail. In the dying minutes East Devon broke through and after a foul from the Chard defence in the D they were awarded a controversial penalty flick while Crease was sent to the sin bin.
East Devon gratefully converted their flick. Chard hope to get back to winning ways at home to Taunton Civil Service this Saturday.

Daily Positions of the Planets – Gochar
The changing positions of the Grahas or the planets through the Rashis (the zodiac signs) are known as Gochara or change of position. The planets move on fixed path and they influence on the fixed position of the Grahas as noted in the birth horoscopes. The slow changing pace of the Grahas (Shani, Rahu, Ketu and Guru) has a long lasting effect and hence they get the most importance in the time of predictions.
In the Maharishi Jyotish program the movements are seen particularly from the position of Chandra in the birth horoscope. The change in the Langa also has a prominent effect and the changes of position from Surya or even some other Grahas in the horoscope note are also deliberated. In the example which we are viewing, the Janma Kundali as the Grahas is in a fixed position. In the ring of the Rashis and Nakshatras we observe that daily changes of the Grahas and Gocharas. Gochara is literally the changing of positions of planets from Moon's original position. Gochara is one of the most common transit techniques.
The planet which is changing its position from the moon is always affected. It is a general consensus and it is ruled by its lordship of houses that are favorably or unfavorably affected by the planet's spot from the Moon. The homes of the planets which it secures from the Moon are not affected. The Moon is the sign of growth and a person's mind. If the planet enjoys a positive affection from the moon, then it can grow its significations. If the planet doesn't enjoy a favorable then the reverse might occur. It should be noted that, Gochara should be used in mixture with Ashtakavarga. Astakavarga takes deliberation into the strength of the planet under observation by its spot from the other planets and the ascendant, not only from the moon. If the current positions of the planets are known by them, they will in turn give you a reading based on the moon's current spot.

Grewcock: Take your chances
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Danny Grewcock insists England will learn from last year's loss to New Zealand.
Danny Grewcock is hopeful England will learn from the mistakes of last year's defeat to New Zealand when they once again take on the All Blacks at Twickenham this Sunday.
The tourists will start this weekend's encounter as red-hot favourites, but that was the same story 12 months ago when they were somewhat fortunate to emerge as 23-19 victors.
The turning point of that game proved to be England's inability to punish their opponents when they were temporarily reduced to 13 men having had two players sin-binned.
Bath second-rower Grewcock, who will win his 65th cap on Sunday, insists he and his team-mates must take full advantage of the opportunities that come their way this time around if they are to have any chance of springing an upset.
"We have to learn the lesson from last year where we lost the game when New Zealand had a couple of guys in the sin-bin and we still didn't capitalise," he explained.
"The big thing for us is that if we get these opportunities, then we have to make sure we get the points.
"There are not too many weaknesses in this New Zealand team, and we are obviously looking at the videos trying to find any small areas we can exploit."
Despite the odds being stacked against them, confidence remains high in the England camp with offensive coach Brian Ashton convinced his troops can turn the form book on its head.
"All the players are very positive, and they have the belief which is essential when you are up against as good a side as New Zealand, the former Bath coach stated.
"I was encouraged by the number of line breaks we made on the summer tour in the first Test against Australia, but we must capitalise on them more, as and when they come on Sunday.
"I've been working with the players and helping them change their mindset for this game, and we are working with a stronger squad than we had in the summer because a number of players who weren't available for that tour are now.
"There are positive signs the players are communicating better, and I am happy with that."

Between 2014 and 2018 Australia will commemorate the ANZAC Centenary of WWI, (The Great War) marking 100 years since Australian and New Zealand began their involvement.
The ANZAC Centenary provides us with the opportunity to remember not only the ANZACs and Gallipoli and the Western Front, but all Australian servicemen and women, including those who fought at places like Tobruk, along the Kokoda Track and the Burma Railway.
We remember all those who fought so doggedly at sea and those who gave their all in fierce air battles over Europe and the Pacific.
We remember the freezing mountains of Korea, and the steamy jungles of Malaya and Vietnam, the deserts of Iraq, the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, conditions that tested strength and fortitude of our service people to the maximum.
We remember the thousands of prisoners of war who suffered inhumanely during these conflicts.
We must also remember those called on to perform peace keeping operations in the many different theatres near and far.
While we remember all who served we must also share a thought for those close to them, the families, friends and communities, whom all in one way or another, would be affected, particularly where one was never to return, or would now become dependant on others due to the severity of physical wounds or psychological trauma.
We will always Remember.
Lest We Forget.

The Pope's Words
Extracts from the Pastoral Letter of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI to the Catholics of Ireland
Like yourselves, I have been deeply disturbed by the information which has come to light regarding the abuse of children and vulnerable young people by members of the Catholic Church in Ireland, particularly by priests and religious. I can only share in the dismay and the sense of betrayal that so many of you have experienced on learning of these sinful and criminal acts and the way church authorities in Ireland dealt with them.
To the victims of abuse and their families
You have suffered grievously and I am truly sorry. I know that nothing can undo the wrong you have endured. Your trust has been betrayed and your dignity has been violated.
It is understandable that you find it hard to forgive or be reconciled with the church. In her name, I openly express the shame and remorse that we all feel ... At the same time, I ask you not to lose hope. It is in the communion of the church that we encounter the person of Jesus Christ. Like you, he still bears the wounds of his own unjust suffering. He understands the depths of your pain and its enduring effect upon your lives and your relationships, including with the church.
To priests and religious who have abused children
You betrayed the trust that was placed in you by innocent young people and their parents, and you must answer for it before Almighty God and before properly constituted tribunals.
Openly acknowledge your guilt, submit yourselves to the demands of justice, but do not despair of God's mercy.
To parents
You have been deeply shocked to learn of the terrible things that took place in what ought to be the safest and most secure environment of all. In today's world it is not easy to build a home and to bring up children. They deserve to grow up in security, loved and cherished, with a strong sense of their identity and worth.
To the children and young people of Ireland
I wish to offer you a particular word of encouragement ... We are all scandalised by the sins and failures of some of the church's members ... But it is in the church that you will find Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and for ever (cf. Heb 13:8). He loves you and he has offered himself on the cross for you.
Seek a personal relationship with him within the communion of his church, for he will never betray your trust!
He alone can satisfy your deepest longings and give your lives their fullest meaning.
To the priests and religious of Ireland
MANY of you feel personally discouraged, even abandoned. I am also aware that in some people's eyes you are tainted by association, and viewed as if you were somehow responsible for the misdeeds of others.
At this painful time, I want to acknowledge the dedication of your priestly and religious lives and apostolates, and I invite you to re-affirm your faith in Christ.
To my brother bishops
It must be admitted that grave errors of judgement were made and failures of leadership occurred. All this has seriously undermined your credibility
Besides fully implementing the norms of canon law in addressing cases of child abuse, continue to cooperate with the civil authorities.
Only decisive action carried out with complete honesty and transparency will restore the respect and goodwill of the Irish people towards the church to which we have consecrated our lives.
To all the faithful of Ireland.
I TAKE this opportunity to thank the many men and women throughout Ireland already working for the safety of children in church environments ...
I am encouraged by the fact that the current safeguarding practices adopted by local churches are being seen as a model for other institutions to follow.
