Earlier this season, I thought of replicating a composition I saw online last year utilizing an assortment of lettuces and interplanting them with edible pansies.
I decided to use a cheapo window box from the hardware store and there was even one I got that fits perfectly over a standard deck railing. With that in mind, I planted these up and then took them to the house to share with my housemates who have been encouraged to help themselves with the abundant greens we had for weeks now. Such a tremendous year for them!
A simple and easy idea for those without much space and very little time!

Starting somewhere...
This is little Pao. Jean Paolo on his birth certificate; dubbed Pao Pao at home; JP to his classmates. A few weeks back, I took him shopping at the garden center and we bought strawberries, tomatoes, bean seeds and a pepper plant. We prepared a little bed in their backyard to plant and here is after showing him how to take a plant out of a container for planting:
Yesterday, I came back to visit to hear and see how things were going. Pao said he'd been watering. However, I noticed that we forgot to plant the pepper. His big brother BJ: Benjohn in his birth certificate: Beej when we're lazy to say another syllable, joined us to plant. A neighborhood friend also came by that they invited and the three of them each took on a task. One was to dig, one was to plant and the other to water in. Pao immediately grabbed my hori hori knife once I got it from my car, but first, I asked him to demonstrate how to knock a plant out of a pot, but with big brother's help:
Couldn't be more proud! =)

Pick-to-Light for Manufacturing
Lighting up lean manufacturing.
Pick-to-light is an ideal poka-yoke (error proofing) device for reducing errors and defects in production processes. Lights direct operators to the correct parts and quantities, in the correct sequential steps, as required for the active bill of materials (BOM). The Lightning Pick methodology also eliminates wasted touches common to paper-based material handling approaches.
Lightning Pick optimizes parts selection in mini-markets, supermarkets, warehouses and other dedicated parts storage areas so the right parts are sequenced to the production line at the right time. Our light-directed systems also reduce mistakes (and their associated costs) in kitting and assembly workstations.
Lightning Pick offers manufacturers distinct solution paths, each engineered to best meet different application sizes, requirements and levels of complexity.
LP Pick.
This solution utilizes the full Lightning Pick software product, fully integrated with customers' manufacturing resource planning (MRP), enterprise resource planning (ERP), warehouse management system (WMS), manufacturing execution system (MES), or other host system. LP Pick is ideal for manufacturing environments with a high number of product configurations, frequently changing configurations or other, more complex processes where complete system data integration is required.

A complete pick-to-light package, including enabling software. Build2Light uses the same best-in-class hardware as our flagship LP Pick, but is offered as a standalone solution without a host system interface. It enables users to easily configure their own part specific builds and best practice light-directed procedures. With low cost of entry pricing, Build2Light is an ideal Proof of Concept pilot system providing a rapid ROI.

Glenview Park Golf Club is expected to soon close for about $4.2 million in renovations and stormwater improvements.
The update, which is the biggest renovation the 18-hole golf course has seen in the last 35 to 40 years, is going to improve the club's turf and expand its water detention capacity by about 5 million of gallons of water, according to officials.
Construction is expected to start on July 7 and last for about 16 weeks, and the course would reopen next June, said Robert Quill, superintendent of leisure services for the Glenview Park District.
While the club is closed, local golfers can play at other golf courses in the area, including ones in Winnetka, Wilmette and Wheeling.
The Glenview Park District officials signed intergovernmental agreements with those three communities so Glenview golfers can play at resident rates, which are between $3 and $10 less than usual nonresident fees.
The Glenview Park District has a special agreement with the Wilmette Park District after offering Wilmette golfers resident rates over the past year while the Wilmette Golf Club was under renovation.
Glenview golfers who have season passes will be able to get further discounts at the Wilmette Golf Club, Quill said.
"We just wanted to give our residents and our customers the greatest opportunity to enjoy golf while the Park Golf Club is being renovated," said Ron Cassidy, general manager of the Glenview Park Golf Club.
Cassidy said residents are also encouraged to attend the park district's 9-hole golf course at the Glenview Prairie Club while the Glenview Park Golf Club is closed.
The Glenview Park District expects to lose about $800,000 in season passes and other fees while the golf course is closed, and officials have accounted for this decrease in revenue in the park district's annual budget, Quill said.
But he added that he hopes to shave off about $100,000 from the project's expenses through some cost-saving techniques while still making sure the quality of work isn't jeopardized.
The park district is paying about $2.5 million toward golf course's renovations while the Village of Glenview contributed about $1.7 million toward the stormwater improvements.
Slowing down stormwater runoff from the course is expected to help more than 130 homes next to the golf course that experience flooding problems during big rainstorms, said Joseph Kenney, Glenview's director of community development.
Nearby residents are not guaranteed to never again have flooding problems, Kenney said.
But the planned improvements would allow the golf course to have maximum water detention while still being playable.
"It's a very important project," Kenney said. "We do think in the end it's a win-win."

Cayman's Coat of Arms party is over and leaders got down to business in the UK.
Yesterday (14 May) they held talks with UK officials like Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Today (15 May) Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin, Opposition Leader Hon. Ezzard Miller and Bodden Town West MLA Chris Saunders, among others, met with Overseas Territories Minister Lord Ahmad where they raised their concerns on the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering amendment.
MLA Saunders said he was pleased with the discussions.
"I am happy I attended the meeting because both Premier (Hon. Alden) McLaughlin and Opposition Leader Ezzard Miller represented us well by asking the right questions and raising the right issues. At the end of the meeting I told Lord Ahmad it is unfortunate the principles that made Britain great are being abandoned. It is clear that the effects of Brexit has created a feeling of uncertainty in Britain and the feeling on the ground is that it is not what people expected in terms of duration and some of the issues raised. We cannot allow this uncertainty into our islands," said Mr. Saunders.
The Opposition team is expected to return to Cayman tomorrow (16 May.) Government officials will continue their discussions before their return later this week.

Capital Eye Opener, Feb. 27: Lobbyists Worry About SCOTUS Case, Club for Growth Ranks Congress
Your daily dose of what's trending in money-and-politics:
LOBBYISTS WORRY ABOUT SCOTUS CASE: As we wrote earlier this week, the Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on whether to remove caps on the total amount an individual can give to candidates and political parties in McCutcheon vs. the Federal Election Commission.
Who's most worried about the possible removal of the caps? Lobbyists. They say they actually like the current limit on overall contributions, because it relieves some of the pressure of going to so many fundraisers, especially if they max out early and are no longer legally able to give, according to The Hill. Without a cap, they might be expected to keep attending — and keep writing checks.
As our Research Director Sarah Bryner told The Hill, "Eliminating limits would provide more opportunities for lobbyists to speak with their money, given that they tend to support candidates and parties than super-PACs."
And because lobbyists do tend to support parties, getting rid of the cap could give political parties more power to compete with super PACs, which can accept unlimited corporate contributions. Without an overall spending cap, in theory any donor could give the maximum permissible $32,400 to a number of parties or even max out to every congressional or presidential candidate.
That could be why the Republican National Committee joined Alabama GOP donor Shaun McCutcheon as a plaintiff in the case. Not only could donors give more overall to a number of committees, national party committees would also not be as limited in how much they can give to candidates.
If the Supreme Court sides with McCutcheon and the RNC (a decision is expected by June), McCutcheon and other big donors like him will be able to contribute to the maximum amount in each category and wouldn't be held back by the overall biennial limits — currently $123,200, of which a total of $48,600 can go to candidates and $74,600 to PACs and parties.
The limit on how much an individual can give to any single candidate — $2,600 — wouldn't be affected.
McCutcheon has contributed $434,209 to Republican candidates and committees since 2008, according to OpenSecrets.org data. Of that, $46,006 went to the National Republican Congressional Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee, RNC, Republican Party of Alabama, and Romney Victory — Romney's joint fundraising committee with the Republican Party.
The Supreme Court declined to hear a different campaign finance case, U.S. v. Danielczyk, which could have allowed candidates to receive corporate contributions.
CLUB FOR GROWTH'S AWARDS: The conservative Club for Growth awarded 28 current and former Republican lawmakers with the Defender of Economic Freedom Award for voting in accordance with the group's pro-growth, small-government values. Only those who scored a 90 or better for 2012 and had a 90 overall, lifetime score were eligible for the title.
According to its methodology report, the Club for Growth notifies members when there is a pending vote for an item that will be tabulated in the scorecard's rankings.
House members fared better than senators on the scorecard. The Club for Growth recognized only six Republican senators with the Defender of Economic Freedom award — former Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Rand Paul (Ky.), Mike Lee (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.). Three (DeMint, Paul and Lee) had both perfect 2012 and lifetime scores.
Two House Republicans have perfect 2012 and lifetime scores, Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.) and Tim Huelskamp (Kan.), while Rep. Paul Broun (Ga.) has a perfect 2012 score and 99 percent overall. Rep. Doug Lamborn (Colo.) and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (who was evaluated on his voting record in the House) have 100 percent lifetime scores, though they scored 97 and 96 percent in 2012, respectively.
Of the six senators and the top-scoring representatives, Club for Growth has been the top donor for the following lawmakers since they were elected: Rubio, Paul, Toomey, Broun, DeMint and Flake. Flake received $913,237 from Club for Growth in his election to the Senate in 2012, according to OpenSecrets.org data.
One of Club for Growth's other big beneficiaries didn't make the cut for an award. Rep. Steven King (R-Iowa) received $255,021 in the last election but only got an 84 percent approval rating for 2012.
Other awardees include: Republican Reps. Trent Franks (Ariz.), Raul Labrador (Idaho), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), David Schweikert (Ariz.), Jeff Duncan (S.C.), Randy Neugebauer (Texas), Scott Garrett (N.J.), Tom Graves (Ga.), Mick Mulvaney (S.C.), Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Bill Huizenga (Mich.), Dennis Ross (Fla.), Trey Gowdy (S.C.) and Sen. Tim Scott (S.C., evaluated on his House record), as well as former Reps. Ben Quayle (Ariz.) and Joe Walsh (Ill.).
Although they didn't win awards, the highest scoring Democrat is Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah) with 68 percent, which is also higher than 98 Republicans. The lowest scoring Republican is former Rep. Bob Dold (Ill.), with 38 percent. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) also came in with 38 percent. The lowest scoring Democrat is Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller (W.Va.) with 0 percent in 2012 and 3 percent overall.
The 2012 scorecard does not rank freshmen in the 113th Congress, including those among Club for Growth's top 15 recipients for the 2012 election cycle: Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), $700,257; Reps. Thomas Cotton (Ariz.), $249,833; Keith Rothfus (Pa.), $137,721; and Thomas Massie (Ky.), $117,807.

"A lot of people are scared of surfing. Yeah, there are sharks, but most of the time they're not actually around to attack you," says 20-year-old Alessa Quizon. We'll take her word for it: A World Championship Tour rookie, Alessa's got bravery in spades (10-foot waves? Bring 'em on). Add to that to rock-solid determination, a lifelong love affair with the ocean, and a clear sense of self, and you've got one badass beauty rockin' the waves.
A Makaha, Hawaii native, Alessa took to the surf when she was just four years old. "My sister is 10 years older than me and she was going the professional route. I wanted to be just like her," Alessa explains. At 10, she won her first contest, and at 12, Billabong became her sponsor…she's been with them ever since. "They've given me the biggest opportunity to follow my dreams," she says gratefully. And what are those dreams, exactly? To win a world surfing title, of course. Thanks to her dedication and sheer talent, Alessa is well on her way.
This dream goes back to before she ever stepped on a board…and while it's clear that surfing brings her joy, she also recognizes that it's her job to keep paddling out. "My office is the ocean, so I go every single day," she says (um, color us jealous). The waves have also been her classroom, and sometimes even her teacher…as well a fixture of her life that have forced her to make tough choices.
Going after your dreams isn't always easy, she admits. "One thing that was really tough for me growing up and wanting to be a professional surfer was managing it along with school," Alessa says. She ended up forfeiting the traditional graduation route and getting her GED instead so she could dedicate her time to pursuing her sport. Luckily, it paid off: She made her decision just in time to participate in the Billabong World Juniors in Australia, and ended up winning the entire event. "Surfing has taught me that if you want something, you have to commit 100%," she says. Amen, sister.
Anyone who willingly hops on a 10-foot wave seems like someone who can dust herself off after a disappointment, and Alessa was basically born with fins…but that doesn't mean her eagerness to tackle those beasts came naturally. Another life lesson learned on the waves? Failure is essential to growth. "This is my first year on the Women's World Championship Tour. I haven't gotten fully adjusted yet," she admits. "I've learned I just need to look past my mistakes and try again."
We obviously had to ask about her secret sauce for her courage. "You just have to be brave," she told us. But in Alessa-land, bravery means more than being willing to head out into shark-infested waters (although we definitely think that's awe-inspiring). Her brand of brave also includes being smart, patient, and dedicated to pursuing your passion. "I don't just throw myself into a wave and let myself get pounded," she shares. "I'll study it, because it's all about preparation. Then, when I feel like I can handle the wave, I throw myself out there."
Another thing she throws herself into? Instagram! Alessa has amassed adoring fans thanks to her jaw-droppingly gorgeous beach and surf action shots. As soon as the app comes up in conversation, she gets excited. "At first I didn't get it, but my friend made an account for me and now I love it," she gushes. To her, Instagram is more than just a digital scrapbook; it's the perfect platform to be a role model—and even get the occasional self-esteem boost. "Sometimes I'll have a really bad day and then I'll see someone comment on my pictures that I've helped them become a better surfer. Nothing in the world can make me feel that great," she says.
It will come as no surprise that Alessa is changing the surfing game for women in the sport. "Finally, people in the industry are starting to realize girls can surf, too. We're getting the respect we deserve," she says proudly. Proof? Women's prize money has increased and organizers have added more venues to women's tours. As part of the new guard, it's on Alessa to help prove to people that women can catch waves with the best of them…and needless to say, she's up for the challenge. "My biggest motivation is that I can't ever give up on something I tried so hard for. Surfing is my life," she says. "When you want something that badly, you just have to go for it."

An outstanding logistics setup to suit your needs
Availability is just as important to our customers as product quality.
We know that working capital is on our customers agenda! As a key supplier or sub-supplier, we understand that our role – whether of assembly-line components for refrigerators or special parts for an undersea cable – is a crucial part of a complex supply chain. A "One size fits all" solution is never our approach.
We offer you reliable agreed lead times, VMI solutions, finished goods inventory, forecasts, traditional purchase orders and daily schedule cycles.
When acting with other sub-suppliers, Primo can also assume responsibility for the overall logistics. This can save resources, reduce the risk of mistaken orders and ensure correct delivery. Based on the true requirements and level of complexity, we determine the optimum solution at the right cost.
As a Primo customer you will know exactly what to expect.
If wished for, we take care of your internal logistics; for instance, storage of cable reels and on-demand delivery is a matter of course in our service programme in the offshore industry.
With production in the Nordic countries, central Europe, Russia and China, Primo lives up to the demands for a total supplier of plastic solutions in an ever-globalised marketplace and we offer customized cross-border transport services in order to ensure delivery at scheduled time.

Painting a generally optimistic picture of local businesses, a new report released by Humboldt State's School of Business and Humboldt County Workforce Development Board (WDB) details how business owners feel about their performance, now and in the near future, and the overall business environment in Humboldt County.
Of the 83 local business owners surveyed, 78 percent expressed moderately high confidence in the overall health and performance of their business, according to the Humboldt Business Confidence Report released in August. That number is projected to rise over the year to 83 percent.
For sales revenue, business owners anticipated a 16 percent increase, a 10 percent rise in their industry, and an 8 percent increase in revenues for Humboldt County.
"We felt there was a need to provide a resource of hard data and survey data so business leaders can make better decisions about different kinds of issues given the context of how things are changing," said School of Business Chair Hari Singh.
For eight months, he, Jacqueline Debets of WDB, and Denise VandenBos, director of Project Development for HSU's College of Professional Studies—surveyed dozens of local businesses in the private, government, and non-profit sectors.
The results were not only positive, but also revealed surprising numbers from export-oriented companies whose products and services serve customers beyond the region. In fact, exporting sectors are creating new jobs and are expected to increase wages for its employees.
"The good news is that those export-oriented companies are always the drivers of the whole economy. They're the ones that buy from local companies," says Debets. She's the former executive director of WDB, a government entity that brings together members of the community (private sector, local government, non-profits, labor unions, education, and public agencies) to help meet the needs of local employers and employees.
The report, however, reveals a different story for local businesses.
"There's not a market for rapid growth because the population here is fairly stable," says Singh. "It's not growing by leaps and bounds. For example if another restaurants opens, it's going to draw customers mostly from other restaurants."
Other key findings:
—73 percent of non-profit and government sector leaders expressed confidence in the overall health and performance of their organizations.
—Private sector employers most commonly identified as issues a lack of qualified workforce talent and costs of transportation of goods and people in and out of Humboldt County.
—Potential strategies for meeting the challenges of Humboldt County's isolation include training programs that clearly delineate education and career pathways to high-demand occupations in growing industries; and recruiting professional consultants living in urban areas to work remotely for local companies.

The Council gives girls from different countries and different year groups the opportunity to serve as student representatives. It is chaired by the Deputy Head Girl in close collaboration with the International Prefect. Their work is supported by the Deputy Head, International Counsellor and Head of EAL. Representatives on the International Council have the opportunity to develop a range of skills. They are encouraged to brainstorm and evaluate ideas, collaborate, lead and manage, present their views and listen to others. Girls also learn how to prepare meeting agendas and take minutes, while developing confidence and communication skills along the way.
The Council meets every few weeks to discuss any matters arising and to plan events throughout the year. This also involves organising girls' participation in assemblies in order to promote various international issues and to encourage girls to be involved in the Council's activities. This is often done in collaboration with other student bodies, for example the Charity Council, and gives girls an opportunity to organise and run events. Some examples of past events and celebrations include the International Mocktails Welcome Event, Mid-Autumn Festival, supporting the 'This Girl Can' Campaign, International Cookery Classes, El Carnaval , celebrating the International Day of the Girl, and Chinese New Year.

But before we get there let me share with you 2012; it was a year of surprises, unexpected decisions, hardship, sorrow, and new beginnings. So there you go, in a nutshell that was my year. Ok, ok, since you're twisting my arm, I'll elaborate.
The year began pretty much like any other year: on January 1! We spent the eve with our dear friends the Chung-Otterson, much like we have the last couple of years. Watching movies, eating yummy food and sharing a bit of what we hoped the year would hold. But in a few months our expectations of 2012 shifted in a dramatic way as we realized our priority was not to the rat race of making ends-meet but of having a richer family experience. And what I mean by that was we wanted to spend more time as a family and less time at work chained to the "man". So we packed up our things half way through the year and moved to a desolate town in Central WA. Friendships were tested, and only the lifers stood the test distance held. Mr. M. started looking for work in a slower paced environment and I got busy with the task of making home more cozy.
After only one month of trying to settle we almost lost Mr. M's mother to an Aneurysm. The following two months seem a bit of a haze to tell you the truth. Isolation, loneliness and so much unknown. But in the midst of it all of this many dear friends and family rose to the challenge of being God's love to us, we grew the strength to help my in-laws navigate the hardship and find endurance for ourselves to keep on pushing forth. Mr. M. received his Bachelor's degree and we celebrated all the holidays surrounded by our family and a few friends.
We even tried to make Tamales for our Christmas Eve dinner, which let me tell you, were a huge colossal fail!
And the year ended with a three day celebration with our friends the Chung-Otterson.
Thanks for reading this very wordy installments and Happy New Year!

CIS leaders get down to business at summit
CIS born out of amicable divorce
For the next two days, over twenty issues will be thrashed out at the Somon Palace in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe.
One of the main topics for today has been reforming the CIS in order to develop relations and co-operation between the member-states. Recently it's been said that the Commonwealth is in a period of stagnation. The leaders have signed an agreement on a new concept for reforming the organisation.
Also, a new president will be elected to head the CIS, replacing the Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is currently presiding.
Drug-trafficking has also been on today's agenda. And a UN representative was present at the meeting saying that, since this year in Afghanistan was especially rich in opium, the CIS countries might become transit points for illegal drug-trafficking and that should be stopped.
Among other important issues were migration and security. Illegal migration has become a problem for many CIS states and especially for Russia, where millions of migrants come yearly in search for better life and work. As a result of the meeting, the leaders have signed a protocol on co-ordinating efforts on migration policy.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin will meet with the CIS leaders to discuss issues concerning Russia and its neighbours. He has already met his Tajik counterpart, Emomali Rakhmonov.
Later the CIS leaders will hold a media conference.
Finally, the day is expected to end with an official dinner hosted by the Tajik President.
CIS born out of amicable divorce
The Commonwealth of Independent States, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, and the Eurasian Economic Community, all came into being following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In the words of RT's political commentator Peter Lavelle:
"It's all about the amicable divorce of the Soviet Union. Maybe, they didn't want to stay together but they sill had a lot of communalities, especially economic and trade. Now they all have those common issues of dealing with terrorism, criminality, the drug trade – things like that. And I think what they want to do is more intense economic development, but not having Russia pay for it all," Mr Lavelle said.
Fifteen years after the collapse of the USSR, the post-Soviet space is packed with all sorts of new abbreviations.
Some of these organisations stem from a political agenda, others pursue economic interests, and hardly any of them has proved to be as successful as they had hoped for.
The CIS was created in 1991 and unites most of the former Soviet republics. It was first regarded as a substitute for the USSR, although its original goal, a common economic space, was never fulfilled. The main obstacle to its development is the lack of political will among some of its members.
State officials like to use this platform for face-to-face meetings rather than round-tables.
For the past decade the post-Soviet area has been shaken with numerous regional conflicts, revolutions and even civil war. And if some of them were resolved, others have been frozen for years.
Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Armenia are now united in a military coalition – the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
Its aim – to protect sovereignty of the states, that includes countering terrorism and drug trafficking.
"During the operation that was aimed to counter drug-trafficking from Afghanistan, and thanks to the joint efforts of the CSTO member states, we confiscated 10 tons of heroine, and 1,200 tons of chemical substances needed for the production of drugs," says Nikolay Bordyuzha, CSTO Secretary General.
CSTO members regularly conduct military exercises.
The organisation is also planning to establish its own rescue forces, antiterrorist and peacekeeping units.
The same states except for Armenia are members of the Eurasian Economic Community, or EurAsEC. It is the only group in the region that exclusively deals with economic and social issues. The main goals are to create a customs union and a common economic space.
But seven years after its establishment, progress is slow. EurAsEC's Secretary General, Grigory Rapota, says there are many obstacles. "The states are very careful," he notes.
Some countries fear that further integration might limit their autonomy and interfere with domestic policies, but there is some progress, he says.
"Three documents are going to be signed in Dushambe creating the judicial basis for the Customs Union. It will take around three years," adds Grigory Rapota.
So far, a custom's union is planned between Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. Other countries will join when they are able to meet the necessary conditions. If successful, the next stage will be a common economic area.

A Schnitzelbahn History: the Tanzania honeymoon safari
We've received some feedback from readers that we should add "index" pages for specific content.
An index page is better than the Categories ("Navigation" on the right side of this page) because
you don't have to scroll through blog entries you've already seen -- intead, just go to the entry you want.
So, here is a brief index of our blog entries about parks on the northern circuit in Tanzania (plus Mafia Island):
Arusha National Park (Day 1, Day 2)
- Arrival and overnight at Karama Lodge
- Morning in the Park: baboon babies, walk across the plain, a small waterfall, and lots of giraffes
- Afternoon in the Park: canoeing on an alkaline lake, flamingos, and black & white colobus monkeys
Lake Manyara National Park (Day 3)
- Morning in the Park: more baboon babies, impala, dik dik, zebra, and lots of elephants
- Afternoon in the Park: vervet monkeys with babies, baboons, golden weaver, plus the Rhotia Valley
Ngorongoro Crater the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Day 4)
- Morning in the Crater: zebras, hyena, wildebeast, warthogs and babies, ostrich, black rhino, eland,
bush buck, Thompson's gazelle, birds (ibis, stork, and kori bustard), elephants, and lounging lions!
- Afternoon in the Crater: yellow-billed kites, weavers and pelicans, elephant, water buffalo,
ostriches in a mating dance, warthog babies, lions, and the Rhotia Valley Children's Home!
Serengeti National Park - Walking Safari (Day 5, Day 6, Day 7)
- Drive into Serengeti N.P.: saw lions mating (!), and an uncountable number of wildebeast in the herd
- Drive to the Walking Safari Camp: agama lizards, superb starlings, marabou stork, and our campsite
on the banks of the Orangi River in the central Serengeti (with recent hippo tracks near our tent!)
- Info about the designated "wilderness area" for walking safari: the camp, the surrounding landscape, etc.
- First day (morning walk): lots of animal tracks, water buffalo (one alive, one just a skull), and an impala
- First day (afternoon walk): an antlion, two jackals, and a mongoose family in an abandoned termite mound
- Second day (morning walk): a klipspringer, reedbuck, giraffes, topi... and a black-necked spitting cobra!
- Second day (afternoon walk): a short trek through the larger kopjes and rainy goodbye to the mobile camp
Serengeti National Parl - Game Drives (Day 8, Day 9, Day 10)
- Drive from walking camp to the game-drive camp: leopard tortise, herd (or pod) of hippos, impala, giraffes,
a silverbird and some weavers, a leopard (finally!), vultures, mongooses, water buffalo, and a lion near camp
- Info about our "special campsite": lodging options in Serengeti National Park, our tent camp in the shadows of one of the Moru Kopjes, baboons and giraffes at breakfast, light painting at night, and a landscape view with rainbows.
- First Day (morning game drive): hyrax, lion perched on a kopje, bearded woodpeckers, and lots of elephants
- First Day (afternoon game drive): a sensational view, with video, of a pride of lions gathering at dusk.
- Second Day (morning game drive): leopard in a tree, lion in a tree, many animals feeding (giraffe, vervet monkeys, warthog), many birds (secretary bird, pearl spotted owlet, gray hornbill, lilac breasted roller, lovebirds).
- Second Day (afternoon game drive): coming soon
Mafia Island (Chloe Island)
- First Day: coming soon
- Second Day: coming soon
- Third Day: coming soon
- Fourth Day: coming soon
- Fifth Day: coming soon
It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure -- thanks to friends and family that gave wedding gifts to make it possible.

CentrePeace Shop and Drop In
10.00am –4.00pm
(Please note that on some days, we close for lunch between 1pm and 2pm. Because we depend entirely on the availability of our volunteers, opening times may vary slightly.)
CentrePeace is a small shop situated in a central position in The Causeway in Burwell. It was originally set up by St Mary's Church in Burwell and is now run independently by a management committee and staffed entirely by volunteers. Some of our volunteers are church members but many are not. Everyone is welcome in CentrePeace!
CentrePeace has two main functions. Apart from being a shop selling 'nearly new' books, greeting cards, crafts and fairly traded goods, its other, and more important function, is that it is an advice and drop-in centre where people can come to find help on a wide range of subjects. Tea and coffee are always available free to our customers, who frequently pop in for companionship and a chat.

Endodontic Retreatment
Occasionally a tooth that has undergone endodontic treatment fails to heal or pain continues despite therapy. Although rare, sometimes a tooth initially responds to root canal therapy but becomes painful or diseased months or years later. When either of these situations occur, the tooth often can be maintained with a second endodontic treatment.
Previous endodontic treatment that has failed may be best dealt with by the specialist. This includes dealing with blockages, ledges and perforations, the removal of posts as well as existing root filling materials – including pastes, gutta percha and silver points as well as fractured instruments.
Endodontic therapy when done properly and under ideal circumstances has a very high degree of success, up to 90%. Since all teeth do not always follow this criteria, we will discuss with you the chances of success for your specific tooth, before any endodontic procedure is done to help you make an informed decision.
However, it should be remembered that it is impossible to guarantee the success of any medical procedure.Even with the best treatment, healing may not occur due to circumstances beyond the control of the dentist. Should this occur, further steps may be required to deal with the infection.
Once endodontic therapy is completed your tooth should be examined and X rayed after 6 – 12 months. This allows us to make sure the tooth has healed or is healing properly. If needed it will examined periodically up to 2 years.

Because it is just me here (no staff, no interns), I'm going a bit crazy trying to keep up with your e-mail and phone requests. So, I decided to put a little time into listing the usual questions I get and put answers here (in one place).
(There is no particular order to the following frequently asked questions):
How do I find out if my town is targeted?
You won't get much of a warning. If you hear a rumor (like the Idaho one we posted here), follow it up (and let us know!).
Also be sure to see this map, click here (gone!) and this handy list, click here. If you are within a hundred miles of any of those resettlement offices, your town is fair game. The legend on the map lists abbreviations of the nine major federal resettlement agencies. BTW, they are running out of 'welcoming' places to resettle refugees so they are out scouting for fresh territory.
You might want to visit the feds' New Site Development Guide, here.
Who are the nine federal resettlement agencies choosing sites for refugee resettlement?
The nine VOLAGs are listed here. VOLAG stands for Voluntary Agencies which is a joke because they are largely paid by the US taxpayer to do the resettlement.
What do I need to know if I do learn that refugees are planned for my town?
See this post we wrote some months ago, 'Ten things your town needs to know.'
Where do I start to learn how the Refugee Admissions Program works?
Start with our fact sheet (sorry it is three years old, we need to work on updating it, but it is still useful). I find the Annual Reports to Congress very very useful. We also have a category with hundreds of posts in it entitled, 'where to find information.' Serious students of refugee resettlement should periodically scroll through it.
Your state refugee coordinator is listed here.
ORR interactive site helps you find your local contractors and your state coordinator, other info, here.
The original Refugee Act of 1980 is here.
There is a good report on the high cost of resettling Middle Eastern refugees at the Center for Immigration Studies here.
Also, I urge you to just follow my blog postings for awhile and you will learn as you go. I try hard to link back to previous information every day.
You are always talking about doing data base research, where do I do that?
Go to the Refugee Processing Center, here, and just play around with the data bases available. I can't explain exactly how to pull up all the information, but you will figure it out if you spend a little time exploring them.
How do I follow the money?
Go here and follow links.
I need information on ______, what do you know about it?
We have a very good search function here at this wordpress blog. Please type a few key words into our search window in the upper left hand corner. Since we are now over
8,000 9,000 posts, I use it all the time to see what I know about a certain subject or resettlement location. Please search here at RRW. LOL! You probably will find plenty of information faster than e-mailing me with your question!
How do I find a 'Pocket of Resistance' near me?
Contact Jim Simpson, email@example.com. Learn more about Jim here.
How do I get your book?
You can purchase it on Amazon, or go here to the Center for Security Policy where there is a free version to download.
Would you sign me up to get your post notifications?
WordPress doesn't allow me to sign you up. You need to follow directions to subscribe. Or, if you want to see everything I post on your twitter feed, follow me on twitter. I also have a facebook page but with the help of Kelly we post some other things there, and not all of my RRW posts. If you don't want your inbox filled with notifications, just visit RRW daily and scroll back through what I've posted during the day.
Where do I find your youtube videos?
I've done three with the help of our friends at the Center for Security Policy. The first one is now over 2.5 million views.
Do you take donations?
Yes, although I no longer have a paypal donation button. I have a Post Office box address (in the left hand sidebar). I was convinced by many readers that after 8 years of voluntary work, I should be willing to accept some thanks in the form of donations. But, know that your gifts are not tax deductible for you.
Can I interview you on my radio show?
I do some radio interviews, but honestly I think I am missing requests (and do apologize), but it is because my e-mail inbox is so full I miss them. Please put very clearly in the subject line something like: 'MEDIA REQUEST'. That goes for reporters too wanting interviews or questions answered.
If you have sent me a media request and have not heard back, please resend with 'MEDIA REQUEST' clearly in the subject line.
My gmail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Will you speak to my group in _____?
I traveled and spoke in many places in 2015 and have met some very wonderful people (South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Missouri, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Tennessee), but honestly I am not a speaker and it is very stressful to travel and speak. And, when I travel I don't get much blogging done, which I think is more important for the overall cause.
I did travel (6200 miles in my car!) in the summer of 2016 simply to see for myself many of the cities I've been writing about and to meet some of our wonderful patriots. We held small gatherings where I mostly listened and we strategized, but that was very different than a formal (stressful!) speaking engagement.
If you contact me, I will be giving you the names of a couple of people knowledgeable about the Refugee Admissions Program who might be willing to travel (but be prepared to pay expenses and an honorarium, we don't have the money in our movement as the other side has!).
That is all for now. Again, sorry I can't get to all of your e-mails (at least a hundred a day). I hope this helps. I'll be re-posting it from time to time, or adding new information as needed.

It feels like years since I've last blogged. But it hasn't, it's only been about 4 months.
What has happened since then, you ask?
- I moved to a new house. Or rather, my parents moved to a new house and I followed. It's in the same town, so nothing too drastic. Except now instead of the awesome dark teal room I'd enjoyed the past 6 years, I got stuck with a very vibrant pink room. Safe to say it does not match my tomboy personality. But I've grown accustomed to it (and as you can see from my newest theme, the pink has gradually made its way onto this blog).
- I went to the Kentucky Derby for the very first time. Didn't bet a dime, got all my clothes soaking wet in the monsoon rain, and happily watched as everyone around me in the infamous infield got supremely wasted and passed out in the mud. I also got pretty inebriated myself, but thankfully I did not pass out in the mud. Fun times.
- We also went to the Mammoth Cave National Park the day after the Derby. And ziplined!
- I quit my part-time retail gig. It was a pretty momentous occasion. Now I'm working only 40 hours a week at an office job like a normal person. The free time has graciously allowed me to return to this blog.
- I got rejected for a promotion at my full-time job. But then at my performance review shortly after, I got a raise. So in the end everything was alright.
- I introduced my boyfriend to the parents. While it sounds momentous in name, in actuality it really wasn't. My dad briefly chatted with him outside while he (my dad) was grilling, but we all went our separate ways as the boy and I went to the 4th of July festival and my parents headed to the casino (where else would middle-aged Asian parents go on such a holiday?).
- I SAW JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JAY Z (WHO KNEW HE DIDN'T HAVE A HYPHEN ANYMORE?) IN CONCERT AT SOLDIER FIELD. IT WAS EPIC. (I'll have to blog more about it in detail later.)
And that is what's been happening in a nutshell. There is actually way more I should add to the list, but alas it is near my bedtime so I gotta wrap it up. I'll conclude by gleefully noting that I am heading to New York City on Thursday for a weekend reunion with college friends. IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.

Calvin's Review
Enjoyable experience.
Hayward Auto Care has serviced my Nissan Maxima for about four or five years. The technicians are knowledgeable. They typically advise me on situations that might be a potential hazard in the future. I check into their suggestions and they're pretty accurate. The most recent service was a routine oil change, and I'll likely go to them for a tune-up soon. I would recommend them.

This is the adorable moment an awe-struck toddler is given a surprise visit by Spiderman.
But after the superhero hi-fives the tot and gives him a big hug, he removes his mask and reveals it is the boy's father, who had just returned from the US Marines.
Posted on YouTube, the video shows the boy being guided outside where he spots Spiderman perched on top of the fence.
Clearly elated, the toddler runs and gives his hero a hug and a hi-five.
Then Spiderman removes his mask, elating the youngster who screamed "daddy!"
The marine said: "Did I surprise you?"
With an ecstatic grin, the toddler replied "yes" before giving his dad another huge hug.

An entertaining peek behind the curtains—and the security cameras, and the interpretive signage, and the archival cases and winding basements—of Manhattan's famed house of culture.
Who knew that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is New York City's foremost tourist attraction, welcoming more than four-million visitors yearly? According to pop historian Danziger (1215: The Year of Magna Carta, 2004, etc.), each of the Met's thousands of employees does, so justifiably proud are they of the world's second-largest museum (after the Louvre). Danziger lets some 50 of those employees speak for themselves in a series of first-person monologues (democratically organized in alphabetical order) preceded by one-paragraph profiles. He begins, fittingly, with immigrant, Honduras-born custodian Juan Aranda, who reveals, "the ledges on the balcony above the Main Entrance are the most difficult places to clean because they are so hard to reach." Also hard to reach are some of the prices the international art market commands, admits Keith Christiansen, a curator specializing in the earliest stirrings of the Renaissance who was able to procure a rarest-of-the-rare Duccio by appealing to the vanity of the Met's director. "Tom Hoving had his Juan de Pareja," Christiansen told Philippe de Montebello. "I don't see why you shouldn't have this toward the end of your career." For his part, Montebello proclaims, "I am the Met," and contemplates his last walk through the galleries in "maximum zenithal light." From high and low, all the people of the Met gladly own their positions and take them with the utmost seriousness, providing here a primer on the care and feeding of a massive public institution that spends and earns millions upon hundreds of millions and houses some of the nation's and the world's greatest treasures.
A delectable pleasure for Met devotees.

YORK, Maine — A lender-ordered, public auction is scheduled for May 5 at the U.S. Made Leather goods store on Route 1 south.
YORK, Maine — A lender-ordered, public auction is scheduled for May 5 at the U.S. Made Leather goods store on Route 1 south.
The 3,084-square-foot, multi-use commercial building is located on more than 2 acres at 90 U.S. Route 1, just south of the intersection of Route 1 and Beech Ridge Road.
The property is currently assessed at $414,600 and owned by Rose Leather Fashions Inc. of Danvers, Mass. Rose Leather purchased the property in 2002 for $300,000, according to York property assessment records.
The property includes an upstairs apartment, a full walk-out basement, private water and sewer and about 200 feet of Route 1 frontage, according to information provided by Tranzon Auction Properties of Portland.
The auction, which will begin at 10 a.m., was ordered by TD Banknorth because the store's owners have defaulted on the mortgage, according to Mike Carey, a Tranzon auctioneer and associate broker.
"We've been hired by TD Banknorth to market the foreclosure option," he said last week. "(The bank) is trying to recoup the money they've lent through the sale of the asset."
The owner of Rose Leather Fashions could not be reached by deadline.
In February, Tranzon also handled the auction of the former Inn at Long Sands on Long Beach Avenue. York Beach residents Robert and Alaine Stone paid $775,000 for that property, which is assessed by the town at $1.6 million. The Stones have since renamed the inn.
The auction was held after the inn's former owner, Arline Shea, said she was unable to find a bank to transfer a $750,000 mortgage from Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union in Lowell, Mass., after the credit union called the loan last fall.
Given the current economic climate, Tranzon has been busy, Carey said. During the first quarter of 2008, the company handled 18 real-estate auctions in New England. During the first quarter of 2009, Tranzon presided over 41 real-estate auctions across the same region.
Carey last week estimated that 60 percent of the sales are in the state of Maine.
Tranzon Auction Properties is part of Tranzon LLC, a nationwide company.
"We're having conversations with entities from around the country. I don't see the volume (of auctions) dwindling anytime too soon," he said.
But Carey does see a silver lining: Although there has been an increase in auctions, he has also seen lots of buyers.
"To some degree, that (real estate) market always has ebbs and flows," he said. "We are still seeing very robust participation in auctions ... but I would tell you, all in all, our marketing campaigns are generating a very satisfactory response from people, which tells you people are still willing to do business."
Parties interested in bidding on the Route 1 property are encouraged to call Tranzon Auction Properties at 775-4300 or visit www.tranzon.com.

I call this set of Megalodon jaws "Seven" mainly because,
well, they stand seven feet tall. Sorry I am not very

We worry about what our docs will inform us – and so do they. Doctors, scientists and medical researchers weigh in on health care and higher health practices. Amongst these transformations we must always anticipate a progressive loss of status of the ruling native courses or sectors, the forced or voluntary exodus of part of the peasant inhabitants to the city centers, with the ensuing improvement of latest social strata; salaried staff, clerks, employees in commerce and the liberal professions, and an unstable stratum of the unemployed.
At first, all the things was performed on a computer. That is how that they had me enroll. I do not learn about how it's in no matter gymnasium you deal with, and this happened so way back, that I do not recall the whole lot about it, however what I do recall is that the signup was achieved on a pc.

Please welcome Allon Bloch, co-CEO of Wix – a free online software that allows you to make your own flash website, blog, MySpace and more!Supposedly, it's incredibly-simple to use. U know how non-techie I am. While I really want to give it a whirl, "test" it out, and report back to you…something better brewed ov'r yonder. Since time and energy is scarse & after developing a nice rapport with a few of Wix staff while hosting the below interview/article, Wix offered to contribute a weekly series specific to "Internet Branding for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners". How sweet is that!?
Phew! Having Amit share tips, how-to's, and more, I'm hoping we will all soon have some kickin' flash websites ourselves.
P.S. Read to the end, and find out how You can be apart of this invitation-only closed-Beta opportunity!
So, what is Wix Allon ?
Wix is a start up that's venture backed.
It's a classic story of a few founders frustrated with a big problem – and spending time and energy to resolving it. In this case, Gig Kaplan, Avishai and Nadav Abrahami (brothers) were looking at the web publishing market in 2005 and were frustrated with the inability to create a web site that looks good and is easy to make. To create a good looking website you need to pay many thousands of dollars to a team of coders and designers, and once you have the site published you need to run back to the coders when you want to make a change. The other option is typically a dreary looking template site that provides no creativity, self expression or a true way to tailor a site to one's needs.
– So the guys (yes sorry all the founders are guys in this case…) felt like they could tackle this problem and moreover felt like it's a pretty basic problem. During the last couple of years the emergence of widgets as an important part of the web, especially on social networks, have increased the importance of creating a web-top publishing platform that could enable users to create great stuff online WITHOUT the need to code and WITHOUT being constrained by templates.
– I joined as co-CEO in February 2008, and Nir Zohar as head of operation about a year ago. We're HQed in NY with a large team in Tel Aviv, Israel
– We're still in private beta, and while I can't reveal any of our numbers/targets, we are amazed at the kinds of web documents people are creating. The three broad buckets we have are the following:
o Consumers who want to express themselves- creating personal sites, widgets, slideshows, greeting cards etc
o Artists and musicians who create web stuff for their fans
o Small businesses
– Let me elaborate about our impact on small businesses: instead of spending many thousands of dollars creating a site and then spending weeks every time you want to make a change, a small business owner can create their own site, on their own, and publish it wherever they want. Furthermore, despite the fact that we are in flash our sites are searchable like any HTML sites (that's part of our secret sauce). We provide a lot of professional looking content that people can use. Certain small business owners would want a graphic or web designer to create this for them – which is fine, and in the future we will create a marketplace to connect designers with site owners. This will still cost a fraction of creating a site today – because it takes much less time to make it – hours or a couple of instead of weeks. And you can do a collaborative design – you don't just provide a general idea and get a black box – the site owner can change anything they want in real time. And once it's finished they can change whatever they want on their own
– Let's take an example: let's say you're a small flower store with and you want an online presence. You go to wix, create a site and publish it. Now you want to promote a certain event to your customers – you can say create a flyer widget on and email it to your customers or post it on your site or on your myspace profile. And you can prepare that promotion easily on your own – you take imagery from your site, add some text, press publish and voila you have a promotional flyer that you created in minutes – a much easier way to market yourself online
– Business model: wix is now free for our beta testers. In the future we will charge a fee to our business customers for using a premium offering, but it's going to be around $10 a month (and we host the site – which is what you pay for hosting today in any case). So for the price of two cups of cappuccino
You have a striking presence online….
Since Wix is still in closed beta, they only approached a select number of quality blogs whose readers will most benefit from Wix.
I'm proud and honored that EWM makes the "cut", and they happily offered to give me AND You advanced access so we can all test the product for yourselves!
Here's how:
The following video offers a quick look at our editor.

Last week, I selected a ride from my new "Toulouse by Vélo" book and insisted we hit the road for an afternoon of calm, rolling lanes and pastoral landscapes. With my limited language, however, I couldn't really read the entire introduction, where the authors warned about a road often crowded with cars and lacking sufficient shoulder. And the part about how one's calves would surely be crying out after the very challenging hilly section. Toulouse the city, flat as a glassy lake, hasn't exactly demanded a lot of us in this department.
So we set out and I was determined, because it really was pretty; but by the time we arrived at our umpteenth steep hill we were all forced to dismount and walk a ways. What began as a march slowed to a dawdle as we first noticed wild raspberries, and then — mmm — figs.
one definition of Heaven
Figs have fast become one of my favorite things about living in this part of France. Abundant and luscious, they are at every farmers' market and marché; they grow all over the place; the owner of the store round the corner has them on his counter and gives them away like candy. Le petit garcon loves them too, and I love our shared passion.
I came to figs later in life, unexpectedly, in New Jersey. My then-copain was the son of Sicilian immigrants who came bearing cuttings of trees from their homeland, concealed in suitcases. Gino, his father, nurtured his fig tree with great care and elaborate winterizing rituals. In New Jersey and New York, figs' arrival in late summer and early fall is like a miracle. We would sit on the swing underneath the tree, peeling our ripe figs and marveling at each bite: the tree survived another winter, against the odds, and so did we.
un enfant
But here they are everywhere, thriving almost maniacally, in backyards and on roadsides. It's such a beautiful aspect of travel and cultural exchange: something abundant, maybe taken for granted or even resented for its ubiquitousness in one place can be scarce in another, and precious. I recall the jade and rosemary plants I saw in California, growing like hedges, whilst mine struggled to survive a Utah winter.
Since I take this blog Seriously I set out, later in the week, to conduct an informal but rigorous study on the preponderance of wild figs, just to back up my claims. I was a woman on a mission. I present my evidence.

Grant Programme for Internationalization → Open call phase 1
Open Call Morocco: Affordable Housing Casablanca
bureauSLA and Idmaj Sakan, 2018Affordable Housing Casablanca is investigating housing solutions, in particular for rural migrants settling in the suburbs of the city of Casablanca.
At the moment, the 'informal' housing sector is larger than the legal new-build. The informal housing lacks well-considered spatial embedding, while the new-build neighbourhoods lack social embedding. The ultimate aim is to design the most tangible possible new urban expansion. The design of this new residential neighbourhood will provide an innovative angle on rapid urban expansion from spatial, social, cultural and economic perspectives. This project serves as inspiration but also as a tangible recommendation for the 'Villes Nouvelles'. The start phase comprises a quantitative spatial analysis of old and new settlements and a process to identify regulations and opportunities for financing or co-financing. The study is in two parts: a quantitative analysis of urban phenomena and data and a qualitative analysis based on interviews, photography and descriptions. On the basis of the findings, a location will be determined. The implementation in the subsequent phase is an alternative, more social approach and elaborated design for a new urban expansion of Casablanca, taking into account the applicable regulations. Affordable Housing Casablanca is a project by bureau SLA in collaboration with Idmaj Sakan. This organization focuses primarily on the realization of low-income housing and is particularly active in rehousing the residents of 'bidonvilles'.

FLUSHING, Michigan — In 1953, Flushing native Mary Alice Cowden Stickney used to skip junior college on sunny days to hang out with friends, digging up American Indian arrowheads on Mill Street near Flushing Road and tossing them back into the street.
"If only I knew ..." she said of their value.
Stickney started reminiscing about the arrowheads after a presentation about local American Indian history during the Flushing Area Historical Society meeting Monday at the Flushing Area Museum.
It isn't surprising that Stickney found arrowheads, as a great battle occurred in Genesee County sometime in the 1630s.
Grand Blanc resident John White spoke at the historical society meeting about local American Indian history, and showed the group wooden and metal arrowheads and other artifacts from his collection.
"I was born in Flint in 1949 and I grew up on the north shore of Thread Lake," White said. "Early in my childhood I became interested in American Indians and I had a passion for Indian lore. I frequently daydreamed of timber wolves, Indian ponies, buffalo and birch bark canoes."
White said he recently discovered that the Saginaw Valley Indians were called "people of the fire" by the French and that the Saginaw Valley was called "Fire Nation." The American Indians in the area were farmers who used controlled burns to rid the land of any existing crop residue and kill weeds and weed seeds.
"The Indians who lived here were called the Sauk," White said.
He quoted from the book "The History of Genesee County Michigan," which describes a battle sometime around 1634 to 1639 that led to the expulsion of the Sauk from the Saginaw Valley by the Chippewa Indians.
He said the Chippewa Indians came from the north and battled the Sauk in Saginaw.
White said in the book, Franklin Ellis wrote: "After completing their bloody work on the Saginaw, the invading army was divided into detachments, which proceeded to carry destruction to the villages along the Shiawassee, Tittabawassee, Casts, and Flint River. Meanwhile, the cooperating force of Ottawas, coming from the south, struck the Flint River near its southernmost bend, and a desperate battle was fought between the Chippewas and the Sauks upon the bluff bank of the river, about a half-mile south of Flint.
The Sauks suffered a severe defeat, and retreated down the river to a point about one mile north of where Flushing is now. There, another battle was fought and later, a deadly struggle took place on the Flint River, a little north of the present boundary between Genesee and Saginaw counties.
"Only 12 Sauk women survived the battle," White said.
He said the Chippewa Indians detested the land they claimed from the Sauk because they believed an evil spirit of the Sauk called "Munesous" haunted them for years.
Gwenna Spillett of Flushing said she enjoyed learning about American Indian history and believes other people should know more.
"Children should learn Indian history in school because it's their history. The Indians were here first and they did a lot for the people here now," she said.
