Picture Book Review: LaDonna Plays Hoops by Kimberly Gordon Biddle
On 29, Mar 2019 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
LaDonna Plays Hoops written by Kimberly A. Gordon Biddle, illustrated by Heath Gray
From Goodreads: This is an inspirational and contemporary story of a young, African-American girl who goes to visit her grandma for a family reunion. While there, she tries to become the family hoops star. She wonders if she has the skill and the will. The story presents subtle, everyday events that teach life lessons.
Two years ago LaDonna played her cousin Tyrone in basketball and lost. That loss stung and now, two years older and wiser, she wants a rematch. Or at least she thinks she does. Her dad reminds her that whether or not she wins or loses, the practice will be good for her. LaDonna is by turns confident that she'll beat Tyrone and nervous that she won't be able to. She's grown in the last two years and even gone to basketball camp, but Tyrone is also bigger and has more practice under his belt. He rather rudely reminds her that he plays on a basketball league. Fortunately, LaDonna doesn't let a scraped knee or her nerves get the best of her and she handily wins the match.
This was such a fun read with lots to love. LaDonna dresses girly with leggings, a skirt, and a lot of pink, but she loves sports. She's all confidence and swagger on the outside, but inside she's afraid she won't be able to take Tyrone's title as family hoops star. Biddle clearly has a good read on kids and I love that the text and illustrations don't paint LaDonna as anything more than a kid. So many times we see girls who like sports represented with boy clothes and body language and an all consuming confidence. Grandma calls her a tomboy at one point, but in reality LaDonna didn't stick out from the group of kids in the family.
I also love that her whole family is clearly waiting for this rematch to happen. They all stare when Tyrone shuffles in off the basketball court to the backyard where LaDonna is jumping rope with a gaggle of other cousins. They all scowl as Tyrone tries to call a foul on LaDonna and won't let him get away with it. And they all cheer as Tyrone meets his match. I imagine the adults of the family talking over the phone about this rematch, wondering if it will happen, who will initiate it, and speculating on who will win. I also imagine all the kids listening in on these conversations and wondering too about it. So when it comes time for the highly anticipated game, everyone is all ears and eyes. Her cousin Veronica quickly steps up to watch LaDonna's pet frog for her during the match.
The illustrations are bright and colorful and cute. The cartoony style lends itself perfectly to such a light and funny family story. LaDonna's family is shown to be primarily African American, but there are a few white folks in it too. Grandma lives in a clean, suburban neighborhood and it's good to see a middle class African American family represented in kidlit. It shouldn't be such a rarity, but it is.
The book would be great in a sports themed storytime as well as in classrooms with sports fans. Even better, the books shows that girls can enjoy and be good at basketball and all kids will benefit from being exposed to that narrative. In terms of ages, I would say first through third grade, but the lack of both racial and sporty girl representation might push this up into fourth grade. Kindergarten ages would probably be fine, especially if you learn the song that goes along with it (see below).
One last thing to add, I happen to know the author of this book through my last library and she told me she would be reading her book at a local Barnes and Noble. I took my daughter to hear the reading and get a copy signed. Not only were there cookies, stickers, coloring sheets and pencils, but Biddle has also written a little song that her husband plays on the ukulele while the two sing it during the read aloud. It was charming to say the least. And also catchy. Looking at the picture I used in this post, it seems that you can now get copies of the song to learn. 🙂
It is also worth noting that this book is available from the publisher with a special dyslexic font. I think this is both fascinating and wonderful. The story is high interest and the font can help readers who normally struggle.

Picture Book Review: The Shaky Achy Tooth by Tiara Burnett Varner
On 22, Mar 2019 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
The Adventures of the Onyx Brothers: The Shaky Achy Tooth written by Tiara Burnett Varner, illustrated by Cynthia Tapia Greene
From Goodreads: Isaiah Onyx is the youngest brother of the three Onyx brothers. He cannot figure out why his mouth is hurting. In this first book of The Onyx Brothers series, the brothers use teamwork to solve the mystery of Isaiah's achy mouth. Come along and join the Onyx Brothers as they take you on an adventure to explore, investigate, and solve life's everyday mysteries-all while having fun!
Do you have siblings in your library? Yes? Then you need this book. This is the first, hopefully of many, books about the Onyx brothers. It starts with some introductions by the oldest, Ijalon, who informs us that this trio of brothers is creative, smart, adventurous, and amazing (how's that for #blackboyjoy?). Ijalon is funny and readers are going to want to turn those pages to learn about the "death defying adventures and life altering experiences" he promises (well…actually, their parents forbid those kinds of antics, but these three goofy kids are sure to come up with something fun).
In this first installment the youngest is acting funny. Ijalon chalks it up to how all little kids act until he hears that Isaiah has passed up chocolate chip cookies. Ijalon immediately jumps up to help, but Elijah, the middle brother, suggests they polish off the cookies before offering their services. See? Funny! And spot on with the sibling dynamics.
Turns our Isaiah has a loose tooth that hurts, so his brothers offer to remove it. Ijalon puts on a hazmat suit and Elijah ties a string to the door knob. He looks very excited to try out this technique. They both give poor Isaiah some wild ideas about his tooth leaving his mouth. Isaiah's imagination runs away with him and he gets more than a little nervous. Would you let them pull your tooth? Neither does Isaiah.
Fortunately mom shows up just in time to gently remove the tooth and explain what's really going on. After she pulls the tooth with no drama, the two older brothers exchange knowing glances, reassuring each other that they at least were right about what needed to happen, even if Isaiah wouldn't let them take care of it.
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Realistic colored pencil style drawings of the boys and their environments grace every page. I love bright, digitally enhanced illustrations, but I am a real sucker for this type of lovingly made illustration. The expressions on the boys' faces are priceless and they really enhance the storytelling. It's just so beautiful. Greene has a real knack for drawing people.
The book seems long, but the text on each page is mostly spare making it good for a range of audiences, including younger kids. I was surprised when my daughter lost her first tooth at five (that's kindergarten age!) and there are plenty more to go at nearly eight years old, so you'll get plenty of mileage out of this book at home, in the classroom, or in the library collection.
If you want the best tooth-themed storytime around, pair this with Tallulah the Tooth Fairy CEO. Find a nonfiction book about good brushing habits and you're set. Paper teeth to match the achy shaky tooth of Isaiah's imagination would make a perfect craft to round out a fun half hour of dental-themed fun.
Final note: If you do purchase this book, please post a review of it on Amazon. This will help other folks find the book and know that it's worth purchasing. If you use any other book services like GoodReads or your local library's online catalog be sure to post a review there too! And if your local library doesn't have a copy, request that they purchase one.

Nonficiton Review: Newton's Law Going Through the Motions by Marlene Downing
On 15, Mar 2019 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
Newton's Law: Going Through the Motions written by Marlene Downing, created by Bryheem Charity
From the publisher: All children are unique with different personalities and learning styles. Nadiyah is a student that struggles to understand the lesson in her classroom. Watching other students eagerly raise their hands makes her more frustrated and anxious. Nadiyah continues "going through the motions" until Maximus steps in to guide her on a fun, educational journey. The two of them discover that a hands-on approach is the antidote to Nadiyah's style of learning. Going Through the Motions highlights the fact that different learning styles require a different approach. Nadiyah learns about Newton's three laws of motion during her journey into the futuristic world.
Think Magic School Bus, but for an older crowd. Nadiyah, a middle schooler, is confused in science class. They just learned Newton's laws of motion and it feels like everyone gets it but her. A pep talk from her mother that evening seems to send Nadiyah off to an exciting dreamland where she meets Maximus, the school role model who is there to help her understand her science lessons.
Lucky for Nadiyah this dream middle school has an epic playground. It looks like an amusement park. Maximus tells her " I know that learning something can be confusing. That's why you need to make it as fun as you possibly can while you're learning." On the playground they use the soccer field, the swings, and a pond to demonstrate the principles.
I couldn't agree more with Maximus. Not every topic is going to be riveting for every student, but learning should be fun, engaging and feel relevant to kids. By moving to a more hands on approach and in a setting outside the classroom the Laws of Motion feel a lot more engaged with every day life.
This was a great little primer on Newton's Laws. I know they aren't typically covered until middle school, but I would suggest that kids as young as second or third grade will easily grasp these concepts with Maximus helping them out. Which of course makes this an excellent little volume to have on your public or school library shelves. Any kids who are interested in science will enjoy reading Going Through the Motions and they will definitely enjoy being able to explain the Laws of Motion to their friends and families.
Unlike Magic School Bus, Going Through the Motions a lot less frenetic. I think this makes it more accessible as a read aloud, to younger audiences that might be distracted by ALL THE THINGS going on in MSB, and to older students who might feel that MSB is too young.
I particularly appreciate both that Nadiyah is an African American girl and that she doesn't initially get it. I think science is one of those subjects where the narrative around kids who like it is that they understand it right away. Nadiyah realizes how enjoyable science and physics is once she's given a little extra time with the lesson and a different approach to the concepts. This doesn't mean she can't enjoy science or that she isn't smart enough. When you book talk this or hand sell it to a student, be sure you aren't just giving it to the kids who are your science-y kids. Offer it to students who you think my enjoy science more if it was a little less academic and more active. And don't discount using this book for older grades (fifth grade and up). It clearly explains Newton's Laws of Motion in an easy to understand format with clear examples. There are kids in middle school too that need a little extra oomph.

Chapter Book Review: The Adventures of Papa Lemon's Little Wanderers: Bullying by Lehman Riley
On 08, Mar 2019 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
The Adventures of Papa Lemon's Little Wanderers: Bullying a choice with consequences written by Lehman Riley
From the publisher: What will the Little Wanderers do when they see their classmate Anna being bullied? Will cruel words keep her from achieving her dreams? When Papa Lemon suggests a trip back to 1953, the kids meet a judge named Rosa and get a first-hand look at how bullying has always been a problem. The kids also get an important reminder that their choices can either help or hurt the people around them.
I came across this series a few years ago when looking to build and diversify my chapter book collection and I'm really glad I did. I think you would be surprised by how homogenous chapter books are. I find so many of them are exclusively about contemporary friendships with the occasional quirky character thrown in. They also tend to be pretty white (or feature animal characters). Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite kidlit features any and all of those characteristics, but my library collection wasn't about me. Plus who wants to read the same type of book over and over again? I'll tell you who doesn't- kids.
When I found Papa Lemon, I found a diverse group of friends tackling issues that are relevant to kids, such as bullying in this most recent book, and drawing on history for lessons that can be applied to these issues now. Not only is there time travel (science fiction!), but there is history (historical fiction that isn't Britain in the Elizabethan era!).
Another thing I especially appreciate about these books is how they aren't so tediously formulaic (I'm looking at you Magic Treehouse). This might make them a little more difficult to follow for emerging readers, but it's well worth it. Especially if you're the parent or teacher or friend reading them aloud to someone.
It's also incredibly refreshing to see an older character, Papa Lemon, guiding the kids but not being a frail, wizened old man. He's up and going about his own business, but he points the friends in the right direction when they need a little guidance.
This book in particular feels well polished. Clearly Riley is hitting his stride in writing these stories. I've said this before for other books and I want to be clear this is not to imply that previous books were unpolished or bad. It's just that this one feels like he's refined his storytelling and gotten the formula down for the story.
In this book in particular I appreciate that the kids take their harassment to their phones and start texting each other about a mistake their classmate Anna makes in class.
These books are great for emerging chapter book readers. They feature an easy to follow plot line with a good lesson woven in. They can be a bit didactic, but I think it's a really fine line to walk writing these types of books. You want them to be interesting and if you want a message in them you can't bury that too deeply as the intended audience is still practicing the mechanics of reading (hence the formulaic book series at this level). The whole series is well worth having on your shelves for kids who want to branch out from simple friendship books.
Final note: If you do purchase this book, please post a review of it on Amazon. This will help other folks find the book and know that it's worth purchasing. If you use any other book services like GoodReads or your local library's online catalog be sure to post a review there too! And if your local library doesn't have a copy, request that they purchase one.

Picture Book Review: Urban Toons presents Cinderella by Ki'el Ebon Ibrahim
On 01, Mar 2019 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
Urban Toons presents Cinderella: A Princess of the Moors written by Ki'el Ebon Ibrahim
From Goodreads: Beautiful, smart, and kind, Safiya lived a charmed life in Italy until her beloved mother died. Her father remarried, bringing two selfish "sisters" into Safiya's home. Now Safiya is Cinderella, pretty much a servant to her stepsisters. When the prince is looking for a wife, will Cinderella's natural beauty shine through?
I know what you're thinking. Really? Another retelling of Cinderella? How many different versions of Cinderella are out there? I know, I know. Tons. I see them on discount shelves at Barnes and Noble, on racks at Costco. None of them take the story further or add anything. And yet, there are several pieces of this version of Cinderella that I loved and that I think make it worth considering adding to your shelves if you collect Cinderella retellings, teach a fairy tale unit, or simply want a version of this classic story to read aloud.
The first is the vocabulary in it. So many of the rehashings of fairy tales simplify the language and I'm not sure why. In this version though, the text is rich with words that will build your child's vocabulary and make the story so much more interesting to read. Words like "gilt", "transcend", and "sorrow". Be sure to check in from time to time to briefly define some of these words. They make the reading experience so rich.
The second is that the princess is black and the story is set in Moorish Spain. The last library I worked in had a three-foot long section of shelf dedicated to Cinderella retellings that were used by the first grade in their Cinderella study. I don't think there was a single one that featured a black Cinderella, African American or otherwise. There were a couple Asian (Chinese and Vietnamese, I believe) retellings and tons of Euro-centric versions plus several animal ones. In Cinderella: A Princess of the Moors readers get a little glimpse into an often ignored piece of European history (because we tend to teach European history as something that is exclusive to much whiter and lighter peoples).
Finally, I also love that this publisher, UrbanToons, is taking stories and populating them with black characters. There isn't a token character of color stuffed into the story somewhere. Black characters fill all the roles and take center stage and that's very powerful in the current publishing industry.
I personally have mixed feelings about fairy tales but I also recognize many, many people love them and read them. If you're one of those teachers, parents or librarians be sure to diversify your story collections. Remember that Cinderella, and other fairy tales, aren't specific to one culture or geographical region. The bones of the story can be broadly applied and we can demand diversity in these traditional stories too.
Final note: If you do purchase this book, please post a review of it on Amazon. This will help other folks find the book and know that it's worth purchasing. If you use any other book services like GoodReads or your local library's online catalog be sure to post a review there too! And if your local library doesn't have a copy, request that they purchase one.

Jaipur was a city I have been really looking forward to since we got to this wonderful country. I've been fortunate to have a number of friends also travelling at this time, and many have either just done or have recently done a few days here. Jaipur was destined to be a unique experience for us as well, because we were using Couchsurfing.
For those of you who haven't heard of Couchsurfing (CS) it's an online community for people who love to travel and meet new people. You can use it just to hang out with local people, or to stay with locals at their place. We used CS in Kolkata where we met Shekhar and had a great night, but this was the first time we stayed with a family. The idea is that surfers return the favour basically, so you offer to share a room at your place. For this trip, we were staying with Ganesh and his family.
I've spoken to some people who seem to think CS is just a way to get a free room for a night. I need to stress this is so not the idea. After buying the kids stuff and buying things for my family from Ganesh's shop I probably spent the same I would on accommodation anyway. Likewise I need to stress this isn't a way for creeps to just get people into their house, there's a diligent verification system and the platform is built on references and user feedback.
Ganesh and his family lived in an area called Jhotwara, a suburb about 3mi from Jaipur centre. Many people would turn their noses up at this distance, but it was a very simple 20rupee (for the both of us) bus ride away that was an experience in itself! We were very fortunate and were given our own room, shower, and western toilet too, which I must say I wasn't expecting. Ganesh's home was shared with his sisters family, the mother and two children, alongside his wife and two sons.
We arrived at his house around 10pm and went straight to bed, but the next day we were straight up meeting his family, and going out the door to see the sights. Ganesh drove us around Jaipur for the whole day, taking us to the Monkey Temple (AMAZING, apart from a rogue monkey getting greedy and biting Kelly on the back of her leg, resulting in a pretty nasty bruise), the Amber Fort (again, amazing scenery and some truly stunning views), followed by the floating palace, two wonderful and unique Hindu temples (old and new, great to see the contrast on the architecture) and a great local place for lunch.
Whilst a busy day travelling around was at, my favourite thing of the day (possibly even the trip) was playing Cricket with his kids and the per local kids (who turned out to also be cousins etc). We ended up playing street cricket on two nights until the sun set which was a fantastic experience.
For me this just galvanised my thoughts that the best experiences don't always need to have a monetary value, or require a queue to experience! This is exactly why we signed up for Couchsurfing, and this kind of experience isn't something you can pay for at a hotel. I know there will be people reading this who would have loved an experience like that!
The following day we headed into the city minus our host. We decided to start the day exploring the Pink City, the oldest part of Jaipur and riddled with Bazaars and synonymous with high quality jewellery and fabrics. It's called the pink city because, well, all the buildings are pink (I'd say more salmon personally), And it's now law that this consistent colour much be maintained throughout the old districts. Unfortunately we were exploring the area rather early in the day, and at the start of a Hindu Festival so many shops were shut, but to be honest we weren't going to buy anything anyway, so no biggie. Following the 3 odd hours exploring the area, we went to the City Palace. As you'd expect from the name, it's a palace, part open to the public showing historic weaponry and clothing from the Maharaja ages. The history of this area or India (Rajastan) is absolutely fascinating to be honest. I really enjoyed reading about the battles for power, both internally and externally. The palace is still inhabited by the King too, although we didn't get to say hello or get invited in for chai (how rude).
Sadly I think Kelly and I both managed to overcook ourselves whilst walking around the city. It's quite hard to keep track of how much water were each drinking, and in temperatures around 35c and walking around most of the day (over 10k most days I reckon) we were clearly both dehydrated at points. Careful kids, stay hydrated! However, we persevered and continued to soak up the sights of Jaipur, which there are a number!
We were very fortunate to meet a lovely couple in Varanasi, Matt and Charlie, who happened to be in Jaipur the same time as us. We got on great in Varanasi so agree to link up here too. That night we went to a lovely rooftop restaurant for dinner and chatted rubbish for hours whilst overlooking the city. We actually ended up doing exactly the same the following day which was great. It's really nice to meet new people you just click with especially on the road, and resulted in literally doing nothing for the last day in the city, and bloody loving it! I've also now got a bunch more movies for trip to watch (thanks Matt).
Jaipur was wonderful, but not necessarily for the reasons you'd expect. Yes the sights were cool and I'm glad we did them, but the highlight was definitely everything around Couchsurfing. Everything from being out of the touristy party of the city and having to get the bus in, to eating local and traditional Rajastahni food (that I wouldn't have found if we'd been in the city), to sharing the experience of Hindu festivals with a local family and community to playing cricket on the street in the rain. This kind of stuff is simply unforgettable.
We've now had a day in Delhi with Tim and Steph, two mates from England (I went to uni with Tim) which was ace, albeit slightly more fuelled on beer and rum than I've been used to this past two weeks. We're heading up to Rishikesh to see the Himalayas, Hindu temples and ashrams today, so I'll be on radio silence for a few days I suspect.

The total amount of land offered for sale on the secondary market, is about 5000 hectares. Over the past 3 years the most intensive growth of prices was observed in the Makarov, Vyshgorod and Brovary Raion. The slowest rates grew in Obuhovsky area.

-Land for agriculture (farming) economy and other commercial farming area of 1 hectare without communication.
The price of land depends on its purpose and location. In turn, the price of land for agriculture depends on the distance from Kiev and varies between 300-1600 $ / 0,01 hectares.
The cost of land in the Kiev region depends not only on the distance to Kyiv, but also on the prestige of a given area and the area, as well as its recreational features.
Vyshgorod direction
All gaining popularity until recently demanded Vyshgorodsky area.
Low level of popularity was due to the relative proximity to Chernobyl, but now, 20 years later, the stereotype of the Chernobyl zone practically vanished.
Here customers pay attention to the beauty of the natural topography, the presence of the forest zone, proximity to the Kyiv Sea and the Dnieper River. The infrastructure of access roads (to the city center - 35-40 minutes by car) and utilities developed at a level above the average.
At the moment Vyshgorodsky district provides 7-8% of land supply in the 25 kilometer suburban area.
Recently Vyshgorodsky area began to pay more and more attention - especially after the land in the more prestigious areas in the vicinity of Kiev was almost sold out, or significantly more expensive.
Demand analysis
The greatest demand of land for construction of 10 to 25 ares in the cottage Vyshgorodskiy area within a radius of 30 km from Kiev with a good asphalt entrance and all the necessary infrastructure (electricity, gas). And, of course, to have been a number of forest, river or lake.
In connection with the active construction of new and new cottage villages in demand large plots of land Vyshgorodskiy region from 10 to 30 hectares in the picturesque places near settlements with good access roads, near the major roads in the 30-40-km zone around Kiev.
The prospects of a land market Vyshgorodskiy region
Looking ahead, all the experts agree that the land market Vyshgorodskiy region has great potential for development because Vyshgorodska land today is quite profitable investment.

The New Year break is over. There was plenty of time spent with friends and spent actively, and being actively disengaged from the virtual world. And I loved every moment of it. There is a funny new year's eve resolution that I've announced on my personal Tumblr: "I am going to completely disengage from my iPhone when I am surrounded with other people!"
So far I am working on it. I am very conscious if I am breaking it, and if I fail, I notice and then I get back on track.
Yearly review
I've been working on my yearly review, and I can only say that I am totally satisfied with 2012. A lot of important things happened, and I've managed to accomplish one of my biggest life goals, that I've set for myself so far. The fruits of that labor are going to be apparent in a couple of months, and they are creating a massive irreversible change in my life.
In 2012 I didn't have a resolution. That year was different, and it was influenced by Leo Babauta's "No Goals" approach. And even though I haven't written my goals down, seems like I am living with my goals at my heart. And I've managed to accomplish everything that I've set my mind to.
I've failed a couple of projects, and completely gave up on them, but those were the things that were kinda "introjected" into me, and not entirely of my own will. It's a funny phenomenon, that I will cover at some point in the future. Sometimes people can introject their own ideas and agendas and make you steer away from your goals. While this is a story for an entirely new blog post, I will only say this: it's super important not to give up, and get back on track.
What was accomplished?
Wrote my first book
I finally finished the 7 Steps to Alpha Efficiency. Now, it is the time to start the dreadful work of editing and fixing it. The technical side of it all. It was one of the longest and toughest endeavors I ever accomplished in my life. I believe that writing your first book is going to be the hardest achievement in your life.
Wrote 160 blog posts
There were 160 great blog posts written in 2012. Some of them were more successful than the others, some broke all the records, but eventually, all of those made me a better person. I've learned not to hold up, and just publish it. That is one of the most valuable lessons of 2012. Even when I had the controversial angle on things.
There is going to be a lot of criticism hurled at your writing and your personality, but you have to view all of them from a clear and open mind. Because if you take it personally, you will end up frustrated and unhappy. And you can't operate in that frame of mind.
Built a new body
I've completely transformed myself this year. It involved a lot of hard work and determination, but I've done it. My physique is now at it's prime. I've never looked and felt better my whole life. For the past 30 days, I've been resting, but starting from tomorrow, I am getting back to the gym, and working out, more than ever.
Learned the hell lot about willpower, self-discipline, motivation, and nutrition. This knowledge is going to bring me an even better body in 2013. When I've set myself to have a movie star physique, I know I am on the right path to achieve it.
Became a more patient person
When you are waiting for something, you tend to get frustrated. But in a way, my wait was prolonged, prolonged beyond my imagination. And now that it's almost finally over, I've come to a conclusion that I grew my patience tremendously.
Of course, I am talking about my immigration paperwork process, and how long it took me to complete it. And now that it's almost done, I see a massive transformation in my personality. Quite possibly this is the biggest achievement that I've accomplished in 2012.
Brought my immigration process to the final stage
I believe that this waiting game finally paid off. And I've used this time waiting to the best of my abilities. Now I am on a good way to become an American and achieve my lifelong dream of living in the USA.
It is one of those things where you can't really believe you've managed to accomplish because, from the position you were in, it seemed almost impossible to complete. But seems that luck favors the brave, and I was brave and took risks and did it with clear eyes and full hearts. You can't lose that way. Because even in those cases, defeat is not a lost war.
I will remember 2012 as a year where I've been waiting a lot, and doing things with a big reserve, as I never knew when it will come to the moment when I would leave my country and go. But regardless of that, I gave my all, as much as I could.
It was also a year when I had my first day of work. It made me comprehend better the people who are working and creating a business for themselves.
The field is completely set to start 2013 the right way. My review period and my "location" is over. And I am getting ready to launch my first product and massively focus on my mailing list and deliver value for all those who are following me on my transcontinental journey.
As this is my first article in 2013, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I want you to join me in 2013 with lots of guts, courage, smart work, dedication and determination to live the lives we desire NOW, and not in the future.
Let's conquer ourselves today, and keep pushing to the limits, surprising ourselves of what we are capable of. Make this year, a year of discovery of our personal powers.

Alan Myers leaves role as comms director at Blackburn Rovers
Alan Myers is to leave his post as commercial and communications director of Blackburn Rovers.
The former Sky Sports reporter (left in the picture above) announced his decision to staff at Ewood Park this morning, reports the Lancashire Telegraph.
He was appointed as the club's director of communications two years ago, 24 hours after leaving a similar post at Everton.
He then took on the additional responsibility of commercial director when Dave Biggar left the Championship club in 2015.
Since February, Myers and fellow director Mike Cheston have been covering the duties of former managing director Derek Shaw.
Myers had been the North West bureau chief for Sky Sports News before joining Everton in August 2013. He had originally joined the club in 1996 as the Goodison Park club's first press officer, staying for five years before joining Sky.

English Lessons
As a youth, Todd English was talented enough to explore the possibility of playing professional baseball as a catcher, but his numerous restaurant ventures, two James Beard Awards, PBS show Food Trip With Todd English and status as one of the world's most recognized culinary authorities confirm English chose the right career path. His latest project, aptly titled Todd English Tavern (cheftoddenglish.com), is based in grandiose The Battery Atlanta - a multiuse development and home of the new SunTrust Park. While back home in the South, English took a breather from his hectic schedule to discuss the ambitious return to his hometown.
What made you set up shop in Atlanta?
I'm excited to come home to the town I grew up in. I lived here from age 6 to 16. Todd English Tavern will be my first restaurant in Atlanta; though I've been looking for a while. I finally found the right spot next to the new Braves stadium in Live! at the Battery with the right partner, The Cordish Companies. I'm a huge baseball fan, so this fits like a glove.
How will your tavern be different from the others Atlanta has throughout the city?
We're going to be exactly the same. No, of course not! We have a beautiful design by Jeffrey Beers International, and we're at The Battery Atlanta. And my food is about a fun, dynamic, flavorful experience that serves many senses. We have world food - a 'neo-tavern' if you will - which is a term I'm seeing more of in Europe. You'll find Asian and Southern influences in my togarashi-psiced edamame, peekytoe crabcake and tempura lobster bites.
What are some standout entrees?
The cast-iron flank steak. It comes out sizzling and includes wild onions, charred heirloom tomatoes and herb-roasted marble potatoes. I top it with a chimichuul sauce. With the Southern burger, I take three types of beef, then blend them, season them, form them into a patty and grill it to perfection. I top it with applewood-smoked bacon, a friend egg, huckleberry jam, cheddar cheese, butter lettuce, local tomatoes, grilled onions and spicy mayo on a brioche bun. I know that just make you hungry!
And for the thirsty set?
We gotta have a Derby Peach. What else can I say? The Georgia'rita is a fun one. It has El Jimador reposado tequila, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, peach bitters, a splash of free orange juice and a lime wedge. It will make you want to say 'y'all' in a whole new way.

At first, the reaction was muted. Stalling from Twitter. Stalling from the police. And, perhaps most worryingly, a stream of patronising comments from onlookers. 'Just ignore it.' 'If you can't take the heat, get off Twitter!' 'What did you expect?' 'You stirred the pot.' 'You poked the trolls.'
As hours turned into days and the story began to dominate the headlines, some commenters became increasingly irritated. 'Aren't you overreacting a bit?' 'Talk about drama queen!' 'She just wants attention.' 'This isn't really news.' 'This isn't worth police time.' 'This isn't worth my time.' And the dreaded Cameron-esque 'Calm down, dear.'
Much has been written – quite rightly – about the vile individuals who choose to target women like Caroline Criado-Perez in such a cowardly, even criminal fashion, but perhaps we should also consider the fact that it has taken almost a week of relentless abuse directed at high-profile figures and subsequent national media attention to persuade many observers that this merits real action.

In a simple declaration of feeling and national pride, Yulia Marushevska looks at the camera and declares, "I am a Ukrainian" before explaining why the Ukrainian people finally decided to rise up against their government leadership led by former president Viktor Yanukovych.
The two-minute YouTube video clip, published on Feb. 10, garnered three million hits within a week and made Marushevska the face of the Ukrainian Revolution for many in the west.
On April 2, Marushevska shared her experience in the Euromaidan and her hopes for Ukraine's future in the Intercultural Center Auditorium. The uprising in Ukraine officially broke out in early February when a group of pro-Western protesters took to the streets in the capital city of Kiev to protest Yanukovych and his support of a pro-Russian economic agenda, in lieu of an attempt to join the European Union and reduce the country's reliance on Russian energy and economic support.
Ben Moses, the film editor behind "I Am a Ukrainian," weighed in on the role of social media in the protests.
"The police shut the Internet down before they moved to repress the small group of students that started the movement. They shut down the Internet five minutes before it [the crackdown] started," Moses said.
The groups were brutally repressed by the police, and the following day, the crowd swelled to over 20,000. In the following days and weeks, the Ukrainian people took a stand against their government and succeeded in overthrowing Yanukovych, who in turn fled to Moscow.
Despite Russia's subsequent invasion of the predominantly Russian-speaking Crimean Peninsula and Crimea's immediate referendum affirming its annexation to Russian Federation, Marushevska views the uprising as a success.
"Ukraine is a young democracy that was born three months ago in the Euromaidan. Before that we were only the facade of a democracy with Soviet officials [making the decisions]."
Marushevska recalled a pre-revolution government riddled with corruption that negatively impacted average citizens.
"People had to pay to open their business, had to pay to close their business … every step of the way. That was very humiliating," Marushevska said.
Marushevska, a doctoral candidate studying Ukrainian literature at Taras Shevchenko University in Kiev, hopes that her simple video and her speaking tour of American universities encourages the international community to support the cause of the Ukrainian freedom movement.
"Freedom is not only staying on the street, it's taking a responsibility … it means to work for your community. You're not only doing it for yourself, that's living a very small life … you have to care about your country, politics, social life," Marushevska said.
Marushevska is confident that Ukraine will remain strong in the face of pressure from both Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin. While she places her faith in the people rather than the new government that has recently emerged in Ukraine, she is certain Ukraine will develop into a strong, independent nation. Nonetheless, she does emphasize the importance of the international community's support in realizing this goal.
"If you want to help, stay with us and come to Ukraine as a student, a tourist … we need people to see it with their own eyes and share," Marushevska said.
Attendees came away impressed by Marushevska's poise in delivering her message, and her ability to convey the emotions felt by everyday Ukrainians.
"Sometimes when you hear about things it doesn't really hit you, but the fact that there's someone in front of you who's talking — who you can see and relate to — that changes things. It seems like we're really seeing the actual problems and issues in a way that we really can't on the news," attendee Laura Catherine McCrary (COL '16) said.
While Marushevska focused on the protesters' success in the Euromaidan, many students asked for her views on the unfolding crisis between Ukraine and Russia. She partially credited the strong sense of unity that has emerged within Ukraine to common alignment against Putin and Yanukovych. Despite the crisis in the Crimea and uncertainties about Russia's next step, Marushevska emphasized the deep historic and cultural connection between Ukraine and the former Soviet Union.
"Even though Putin is currently driving the people of Russia and Ukraine apart, we're close neighbors and in the future we will be good partners," Marushevska said.
Marushevska does not believe Russia will succeed moving further east into Ukraine proper. While she dreads the possibility of war, she trusts Ukrainians will stand strong since they have tasted freedom.
"[Ukrainians] are ready, but I don't want this fight. It means war," she said. "I hope nothing will happen, but we will defend ourselves."

text: As national selection processes go, Ukraine is one of the more intense ones. Twenty acts competed for both the votes of the Ukrainian public and a panel of expert jury members. In the end it was Mariya Yaremchuk who was selected despite some acts protesting that the phone line for their songs had closed long before Mariya's had, therefore giving her a more increased chance of winning. The winning song is called 'Tick Tock' but let's have a look at the other entries that could have been Ukraine's representative this year:

Welcome to another value packed issue of the duPont REGISTRYTM. Enclosed are literally, hundreds of cars for sale at your finger tips. To review all your options, you do not need a battery, an internet connection or electricity (as long as the sun is up!) Print media (especially magazines) continue to hold the dominant lead in trust and comfort when compared to other forms of media. So enjoy!
We have two Publisher's Choice listings this month. Each is a rare and desirable "collectible" that is sure to appeal to the exotic car enthusiast. The staff here at the duPont REGISTRYTM works diligently to find these offerings for your imagination, or your garage. Take a look at both here and on the web at www.dupontregistry.com.
The first Publisher's Choice is a real, classic, exotic, rare and red Ferrari 288 GTO. In the mad rush to see/acquire a truly great Ferrari, the 288 GTO is often overlooked and at the same time hard to find. This example, brought to you by the new McLaren Boston (call 866-984-8511) is, of course, finished in classic Rosso Corsa over Nero interior. The mostly original "classiche" certified is ready to go (but most likely not in the snow!)
Publisher's Choice #2 is truly valuable to the racing enthusiast. The #22 Martini Racing Porsche 918 Spyder is presented in the Martini Racing Livery and comes with the Weissach Package that enhances performance and handling. Porsche Center Langley presents this rare and lightning-fast 918 and to learn more contact Eric Bjorndal at 604-530-8911. Remember, only 918 Porsche 918's were built. Low mileage, 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and 887 horsepower.
If neither of these offerings appeal to you, there are many other options in this issue. There are even more on our website at www.dupontregistry.com and many are talked about on our Facebook, Instagram, and AUTOFLUENCE blog. These electronic resources allow you to stay up to date with the rapidly growing auto-enthusiast marketplace. Facebook followers now number of 5.7 million, traffic on our AUTOFLUENCE blog is getting very close to 1 million views per month, and there are over 512,000 Instagram followers. This is a big, BIG marketplace that will grow even bigger in 2016.
Events have always held an important part in any marketing plan in the automotive marketplace. This is especially true in the world of classic, luxury and exotic automobiles. The duPont REGISTRYTM will be in attendance again as a sponsor of the fabulous all-inclusive auction-mania known as Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale (www.barrett-jackson.com). The fun starts on January 23 at 8:00 am with preview day. Sunday, January 24th is the beginning of the automobilia auctions.

Happy Motoring!

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 25) -- Malaysian port operator, Westports Holdings said Friday it has received an in-principle approval from the government to expand its container terminal facilities from Container Terminal 10 to Container Terminal 19.
"The proposed expansion can potentially increase the total handling capacity of Westports up to 30 million Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit per annum," said its Chief Executive Officer Ruben Emir Gnanalingam in a statement to Bursa Malaysia. Currently, Westports has a total handling capacity of 12 million TEUs per year.
He said this will further strengthen Port Klang as the pre-eminent port for the nation's gateway trade as well as a transhipment hub in the region. "The approval also reflects the GoM's commitment to prioritise Port Klang as the load centre of Malaysia," he added.
The expansion is an extension from the current CT1 to CT9 development. Following the approval, the port operator will commence and undertake various studies required before finalising terms and conditions with the government.

After you have gotten the best sleep of your life at Maui B and B. You will find yourself wanting to get the most out of your vacation that you saved up for for so long. Your vacation should include some of the finest things that the beautiful state of Hawaii can offer. This is your vacation, so take control over it and have some fun.
With Hawaii vacations, any of these things are possible. The beauty inherent in Hawaii is so spectacular that it would not be inappropriate to say that nowhere else on the planet comes close to matching the breathtaking beauty found in Hawaii. The beaches in Hawaii are among the most gorgeous and amazing in the world, and the crystal clear water and glossy sand on the beach add even more to the other sources of beauty in the state.
Next do a quick internet search and see if there are any major conventions going on during your vacation period. You can also contact the Hawaiian travel bureau for this information.
A non-systems-thinking manager decides to implement a Friday dress casual day. People can wear jeans to work. The manager thinks this will help people to relax and perhaps improve their mood at work. This manager is surprised later when people complain about this and morale actually declines.
First you need to determine what your budget is. Secondly, you will want to plan the activities and tours you and your family are most interested in. Afterward, look for a traveling agency that can help you find the vacation package that suits your needs.
One down side though with having your own car while on vacation is the directions. This is especially true if this is the first time that you have visited Maui or Hawaii. And even if you have a map, nothing beats having a driver who already knows the way.
The typical person on a vacations hawaii wants to relax and tour the islands, and not have to be making arrangements for boats and helicopter rides. Arranging these tours ahead of time only takes a little bit, especially when you use the phone or internet. If you aren't sure what tours to go on, most travel agents or concierges at hotels can give you some great ideas.
You can wake up to the glorious Hawaiian sunrise. To find the condo that fits your budget or specific needs you will want to enter some basic information. Information such as your Budget range, Arrival and departure time, Number of guests and the location of your requested condo. This information will be calculated and you will be given a list of condos that fit your entered information.

text: Credit card companies don't give a care about you carrying their card unless you carry balances and make money for them. You may feel that just because you have their card, you are something else. Thats the way I have felt in the past. But the thing is, its all a big game and you all know that. Everybody is out to get rich and thats how the credit world works. Im tired of having multiple cards and feeling compelled to use each of them so I can make the companies feel good that Im using their card. I know they probably hate me because I do not carry balances. But hey thats life and thats the way I choose to live my life. Im done playing this game. I will stick with using 1 card all of my life, in my case a Mastercard. Its accepted just about everywhere in this world. Simplifying ones life from many cards to one can really relieve a lot of stress, which is something that I have alot of at the young age of 21. From what I hear though, they say its good to have mulitple credit lines on ones credit report. Creditors like to see this especially if they are in good standing. What if I have mulitple lines in good standing and I want to simplify them down to one? Will creditors hate to see something like this? Will they think less of you if you choose to make things easier for yourself? I hate this world, I never liked it, but there is nothing we can do about it and the way companies run their businesses. Take for instance the internet. Remember the days when ISP's use to be 100% free and you could have unlimited access to the web. I used to leave my computer up on the net all day and not have to worry about paying a single cent. I used to have at least a half dozen ISP's that I could rotate between. These days, everything has changed. What happened to: Bluelight, Netzero, Juno, The Excite ISP and dozens of others. If they haven't closed up shop, they now have your hours limited to a certain number per month. Why can't good things last forever? Its because the world as we know it is getting greedier and greedier. When you see these offers from AOL for internet access, you can't even go far in the setup process before they ask for your credit card number. Numerous other sites do this too, its so sickening. Look at the price of gas. Look at the taxes we pay. We work so hard all year long, the government takes out a boatload of taxes and yet still we have to pay more in April. Look at everything in life. Well, thats enough of sharing my mind for now. I wonder if any of this makes sense to any of you all. Im not crazy or anything, I just like to analyze life and pick out the good and bad points in it. What is our purpose here on this earth, has anyone ever pondered over this? Alan

Orioles hammer YankeesAug 27, 2011 - 5:30 AM
Nolan Reimold doubled, tripled and drove in three for the Orioles, who won their fifth consecutive game after plating nine runs against New York starter A.J. Burnett.
"The last five or six games have been pretty good," Hardy said. "Our pitchers have been going out there and working fast and doing really well, and letting us score a few runs and keep the momentum on our side."
Tommy Hunter (3-2) allowed four runs in seven innings to help Baltimore win on a night the team honored the late Mike Flanagan.
Flanagan, who died Wednesday of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, won the 1979 Cy Young as a pitcher for the Orioles and helped the team capture the World Series in 1983. He then served as a coach, front office executive and broadcaster for the team.
The Orioles held a moment of silence prior to the game, lowered a team flag at Camden Yards to half-staff and installed a banner with Flanagan's number 46 just above the press box. Players also started wearing a black patch with the name "Flanny" written in white on their uniforms.
Burnett (9-11) matched a career high with nine runs allowed in five innings, finishing an arduous August. In five starts, he posted an 11.91 ERA (30 earned runs in 22 2/3 innings), and allowed six homers and 44 hits.
The right-hander has given up at least seven runs in four outings this season -- three of which came in August.
"It's really just location at this point," said Yankees catcher Russell Martin. "He'll make a couple good pitches with his fastball, and the next one will be belt-high. Guys at this level, they don't miss it."
Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Nick Swisher homered for the Yankees, who were coming off Thursday's 22-9, three-grand slam rout of Oakland. They claimed the record-setting win after falling behind early, and found themselves in a similar position Friday thanks to the Orioles' six-run second inning.
Reynolds started the scoring with a one-out solo blast to left. He took five consecutive pitches before crushing a fastball, which Burnett left up, over the left field wall.
Ryan Adams then doubled to right-center field, starting a string of four consecutive doubles that produced three runs. Hardy followed the stretch by belting a hanging breaking ball deep into the left-center field seats, giving the Orioles a 6-0 lead.
Burnett ran into more trouble in the fourth because of wildness. A wild pitch allowed Matt Angle to reach on a strikeout, and four consecutive balls on an 0-2 count put Robert Andino on base. Another wild pitch allowed Angle to advance to third, and he scored on Hardy's grounder.
After Posada's solo shot in the next inning put New York on the board, Baltimore tacked on a few more runs.
A Wieters double and Adams walk put two on for Reimold, who lined a triple to right in the fifth. Wieters' homer off Luis Ayala in the sixth pushed Baltimore's lead to 12-1, and New York never recovered -- despite getting a solo shot from Rodriguez and a two-run homer from Swisher in the next inning.
While Hunter gave up a season-high three homers, he allowed only two other hits and didn't walk a batter.
Because of that, the Yankees didn't have the kind of big-play opportunities they did the day before, and ended 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position. Mark Teixeira hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
However, New York remained a game behind Boston for the AL East lead after the Red Sox fell to the A's on Friday.
Game Notes
The Orioles' current winning streak matches a season high. They also won five in a row from May 21-26...Saturday's scheduled doubleheader between the Orioles and Yankees has been postponed because of bad weather expected to occur as Hurricane Irene makes its way up the East Coast. The afternoon game will be played September 8 at a time to be determined, while the night contest has been bumped back to Sunday, creating another doubleheader.

Around 72,000 people living in Greece's second biggest city Thessaloniki were evacuated on Sunday (12 February) so that military officials could diffuse a 250kg (550lb) unexploded Second World War bomb.
The explosive, which was dropped in the 1940s, was discovered a few days back about 5 metres (16 feet) underground when the expansion was being carried out at a petrol station.
This is being described as the biggest peacetime evacuation in Greece's history as all those living in the 2km radius of site, were urged to move out of the area.
Police officials told Reuters that buses were arranged to move the residents to local stadiums, cafes and gyms. The ministry of migration said that refugees living in nearby abandoned factories would be also taken on a museum visit in Thessaloniki.
Regional Governor Apostolos Tzitzikostas told a local news channel, "We are absolutely ready. I call on our fellow citizens to stay calm. There is no reason to panic, there is no danger, the measures taken are precautionary and for the safety of residents."
He added that the operation is expected to last "at most six hours". Around 1,000 police officers and 300 volunteers will be deployed for the operation.
An army spokesperson, Colonel Nikos Fanios said that the exterior of the device was too degraded to determine whether it was a German or an allied bomb.
"We don't know what we're going to find... [diffusing it and moving it to a military range] could take us up to two days," he added.

To the Editor:
Last week, Granite Staters who tuned into the marathon, two-night Democrat debate got to see just how out of step today�s Democrat Party has become. The 20 plus Democrat contenders have all endorsed an agenda too radical and reckless for New Hampshire. On issues of healthcare, climate change, immigration, late-term abortion, the economy and more, today�s Democrat party has gone completely off the rails � choosing to give big government too much control over individuals and families.
One important litmus test championed in the Democrat debates is the radical climate plan known as the Green New Deal, sponsored by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). This plan would give government control of nearly every aspect of our lives, making electric power unaffordable to 1.2 million New Hampshire families and adding costly regulations that would cause energy prices to skyrocket.
The Green New Deal would cost American taxpayers over $93 trillion, or over $600,000 per household. This plan would wreak havoc on our economy and increase taxes for families across the board.
What�s more, 2020 Democrats are eagerly attacking President Trump�s roaring economy, promising to roll back the important progress we�ve made. But President Trump�s results speak for themselves.
Last week�s Democrat debates made it clear that the days of your grandfather�s Democrat Party are long gone. Instead, the 2020 candidates vying to be president have endorsed a socialist agenda that would be disastrous for New Hampshire and our nation.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said: �The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.� The Democrat Party should heed this advice if they ever wish to win over New Hampshire voters.
As 2020 Democrat candidates trip over themselves in their race to the left, they are leaving Granite Staters in the rearview mirror.

RATON, N.M. — Ramifications of a positive train control requirement by the Amtrak board of directors have not been seriously considered, argues former Amtrak president Joseph Boardman.
Amtrak is citing such a requirement in its plan to replace part of the route of the Southwest Chief with a bus bridge, and if the policy is uniformly applied, it could affect at least seven other routes. [See "Amtrak says it will not run trains on route without PTC," Trains News Wire, Aug. 27, 2018.] Amtrak has subsequently said Trains News Wire's reporting of its PTC stance regarding routes without PTC is inaccurate.
Boardman championed local participation in the Southwest Chief route rehabilitation before he retired in late 2016. He also advocated for and helped pass the PTC requirement while he served as the Federal Railroad Administrator from 2005-2008. He says Amtrak is making knee-jerk decisions about safety that do not reflect the long-term safety record of passenger rail operations.
"If Amtrak requires PTC on any exempted portion," he tells Trains News Wire, "the full cost of the PTC installation and maintenance becomes Amtrak's. So they could load up costs for these routes or pass them on to states (sponsoring service). It's just ridiculous, and it is not necessary in the sparse operating environment of the FRA-exempted track areas. It is also not financially sensible to burden this cost on Congress or a state given the operating situation.
"You can operate a safe railroad without PTC and you can have accidents with PTC," Boardman adds. He references an unfortunate accident in 2016 in which the southbound Palmetto struck and killed two maintenance workers on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, which is protected by Amtrak's form of PTC, the Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System. "That was caused by human error," Boardman says.
He insists Amtrak should stop ignoring the judgments of the Federal Railroad Administration and continue to operate safe railroading without PTC on the FRA-judged low risk sections of track that received PTC exemptions in order to fulfill the "Public Service" mission it was created for.
"If the board made this decision then it has been poorly advised," Boardman adds. "Risk management and behavioral safety training is not new with the SMS program adopted from the FAA and recently promoted within Amtrak. [SMS, the Safety Management System, is described as a "formal, top-down, organization-wide approach to managing safety risk and assuring the effectiveness of safety risk controls."] Amtrak started a risk management department as a result of Inspector General recommendations several years ago and it has been improved in its effectiveness every year. Furthermore, Amtrak has been a leader in behavioral based safety since 2009 until that program was eliminated by my replacement in 2017."
Boardman believes recent decisions and actions have resulted in "serious missteps with Amtrak stakeholders, customers, and members of Congress." He says, "It is unacceptable nonsense. It's time to move on and provide customer and stakeholder service and commitment. It's creating an unprofessional situation for Amtrak that is reprehensible and unsustainable in the eyes of Congress and Dodge and Garden City, Kansas; La Junta and Trinidad Colorado; Raton, and Las Vegas, New Mexico; BNSF Railroad employees, Private Car owners, and even the United States Marine Corp. And those disgusted stakeholders are only the tip of the problems."
— Updated at 11 a.m. on Aug. 28 to include an explanation of the Safety Management System, and at 4:15 p.m. to note Amtrak's view that reporting of its views on PTC are inaccurate.

BURLINGTON: #DumpBenandJerrys Roundup Ready Ice Cream!
Get a Free Organic Ice Cream Cone!
On Tuesday, July 25, the New York Times broke our story on what happened when we had an independent lab test 11 samples of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
The short version? Ten ice cream samples tested positive for glyphosate, the key active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide.
The New York Times story spread far and wide. But it was just the start. We need to keep this story in the news until Ben & Jerry's stops greenwashing, cleans up its #DirtyDairy and goes 100% organic.
Can you help?
TAKE ACTION: Help us send a message to Ben and Jerry's: We don't want Monsanto's Roundup in our ice cream! Join us at the Ben & Jerry's Church Street Ice Cream Shop on August 10. Help us dump Ben & Jerry's ice cream cones, distribute leaflets and hand out free organic ice cream!

You might have heard of the Westboro Baptist Church already, but just in case… They're an organization led by a man named Fred Phelps, and are primarily known for their media-grabbing picketing efforts, blasting everyone they can think of and insisting that God hates the United States for its tolerance of gays.
College student Jason Connell decided to fight back recently, with a charming idea of payback. Click below to see the video.
How fitting is it that the Westboro Baptist Church name be associated with donations to organizations that keep their members tossing and turning in bed at night, dreaming of gays and Jews and soldiers all going to Hell?
For more information on the WBC, feel free to check out their charming website: www.godhatesfags.com (and no, this is not a joke)
Thanks, Jason Connell, for taking a principled stand against these hateful people. Hopefully one day they'll come to their senses and stop devoted such a large portion of their thoughts (and lives) to such an evil cause.
