I am constantly amazed at how people in this world will do crazy things to get children who are babies, YET leave older kids who are in need in the Foster care system without providing any help to them. I am also amazed at how little a father is really worth in society these days. I am also deeply troubled and amazed at the lack of common sense some people display. Before I start this sorted story, I just want to say that I believe that the adoptive parents, Jared and Kristi Frei, are likely good people. They are, however, doing the wrong thing by not giving Terry Achane's daughter back to him after his wife gave her up for adoption without his knowledge!
In 2010, Tira Bland Achane was a married woman living in Texas. She and her husband, Terry Achane, started having problems in their marriage shortly before she discovered she was pregnant. Tira was beside herself. She and her husband were having problems, she was pregnant and her husband, who is in the military, was transferred to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Tira weighed her options. She talked to her husband and suggested they have an abortion or put the child up for adoption. Terry didn't want either of those choices to be the reality for his child. He talked with Tira and expressed the fact that he wanted the child they would have together. However, 10 days after his transfer, what he wanted wouldn't matter. Tira, his wife went into premature labor. Instead of happily calling her husband to tell him he had a new child, she called an adoption agency in Utah. Although she is not a Utah resident, she signed the baby over to Utah residents Jared and Kristi Frei WITHOUT telling her husband. Then she terminated all contact with her husband. That set Terry Bland on a courtroom odyssey to get his daughter back and set him up against Utah's adoption laws that make a father an afterthought.
Tira Bland was very deceitful. Not only did she deceive her husband and cut off contact with him so he would not know her whereabouts, she also did something to ensure that he would not be notified of where his daughter was. She gave the adoption agency a false address for her husband. She knew the documents sent by the adoption agency would never reach him. Tira also knew that her husband would put up a fight for his child. Now here is where things get REALLY sticky! The adoption agency, according to published reports, KNEW that Terry Achane didn't know about his daughter's adoption AND they told Jared and Kristi Frei this! WOW! WHAT? How do you KNOWINGLY take a child whose father does NOT KNOW she has been placed for adoption?
When Terry found out about the adoption the fight was on. Terry went to court to get his little girl back. He won. Jared and Kristi Frei were ordered to give the child to her father within 60 days. They refused. What resulted was a two year battle that recently culminated with a judgement against the Frei family. They are supposed to return the child to her father, but they have vowed to continue the fight instead of letting this man reunite with his child! That is despicable!
In addition to that, they have posted a website where they have attacked the father for not reaching out to them to ask for pictures and for not sending toys or other items to the little girl. When I read that I almost gagged! Why would a man send anything to two people he has watched hold on to his child as if she were their child when they KNOW he wants her back and DID NOT KNOW she was placed up for adoption? Why would he send them anything? He is trying to get her HOME! The Frei family has HIS child - he doesn't have their child! If I were fighting for my child with another family who refused to give her up AND refused to follow a judge's order, I wouldn't try to reach out to them either. After I determined that they were not going to give my child back, my sole focus would be fighting them. How DARE Jared Frei and Kristi Frei ATTACK A MAN FOR WANTING HIS CHILD BACK! I honestly think that Tira should be arrested, but those are my personal feelings and there are no laws to support that. However, the fact remains that this man wants and deserves to have HIS child! He didn't know what his wife was doing! He was a married man going through problems. That happens. However, you don't give up a child because you and your husband are having problems! If the husband wants the child, give the child to him! Why would you give the child to two people YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW when you had a husband who was willing to take the child? There were no allegations of abuse. There was just a marriage in trouble!
This reminds me of the other case I have written about. In the case of Chandra and Tom Zarembeski, the mother also gave the child up for adoption without the father's consent. The key difference is that the father was not married to the mother at the time. Utah treats unmarried fathers like absolute crap and does NOT recognize their rights! That case is still going on to my knowledge - although the father still has been unable to see his daughter! What are those people going to tell her when she gets old enough to read everything on the web? I hope she sees that her daddy loves her. I also hope she reconnects with him and allows him into her life once she is old enough to make the choice.
I wish people would be more responsible. I shudder to think what could have happened to this little girl at the hands of a mother who didn't want her if she and her husband had split up when the girl was 5 or 8 or 11! She might have abused her. Thankfully, although they are doing the wrong thing by holding on to her, Jared and Kristi Frei appear to have taken good care of the child while she has been in their care. However, she belongs with her father. How are they going to explain to this little girl when she gets older that her father fought for her and they refused to give her to her own dad? I'm sure they could attack him like they did on their website, but I personally would not be able to stomach that from my parents.
Hopefully, Jared Frei and Kristi Frei will not break the law and will give this little girl back to her father. I wish we could take THEIR biological children away and see how THEY feel about it so they could fully understand what Terry Achane is going through. He has only been able to see his daughter twice. What a shame! Jared Frei and Kristi Frei AND Tira Bland should ALL be ashamed of themselves!

Jared and Kristi Frei are horrible and selfish people; shame on them! I think they're delusional if they truly believe they have any rights to that darling little girl.

Ugh. This story makes me sick. As an adoptive parent myself, I understand how fast parents bond to their adopted babies. It is immediate, and in all ways, that little girl FEELS like their own daughter.
At the same time, as a biological parent, I can understand the complete horror the bio-dad must feel in having his daughter placed for adoption without his consent!
Its just horrible all the way around, and makes me think, what in the world was that adoption agency doing?
I'm so sorry for all the parents involved…so much pain and loss.
However, I do believe, even if the judge changed his ruling, it would be VERY hard for those adoptive parents to raise a daughter against her birth-dad's will. That will not turn out good in the long run for their daughter, and they just simply must allow her to go to her father.

I believe the birth mother should face charges! It is one thing to be involved in a situation where you do not know who the father is. This woman simply decided she didn't want a kid AND she didn't want her EX to get the kid! If she didn't want to raise the child, she could have given her directly to her father, got a divorce and went on with her life. Instead, she lied to her husband! The OTHER issue is that the adoption agency KNEW that the father didn't know AND INFORMED the Frei family that the father DID NOT KNOW about the adoption! How can the Frei family justify what they are doing?
December 5th, 2012 at
3:40 pm
While I am one who has struggled to accept that I will never have a biological child, and adoption is not an option either, I feel strongly that the childs biological father should raise his daughter. I understand that the "adoptive" family has bonded with the child but a wrong has been done and, rather than drag it out any longer, the child needs to be given back to the father (the sooner, the better) to begin the new bonding process. The adoptive family should act in the best interest of the child. At this point, they have their own best interests at heart. It may be so so painful, but it has to be done.

How do i message the freis? Id like to send this to them but dont know how! who on earth would donate to them! it is so messed up what they are doing!! to the freis!: Please give that father Back his child. Put yourself in his shoes! Imagine being able to finally get pregnant and then hypothetically you are in a coma & while you are youre husband gives your baby away for adoption!! Then you wake up from coma & are powerless to get your child back! How would you feel! How could you be so heartless especially when you have 5 other kids! Adopt another baby & get over it, you have no right & I can't believe anyone would actually do what you have done its baffling. You knew you were stealing that child & you did it anyway and I don't think a father should lose his child bc he was WORKING to provide for his family! You know darn well he was stationed away & are acting like he's at fault for not being there! He was not able to be!! He'd of been AWOL! He's Risking his own life to protect even you & your family & this is the thanks he gets! Give him his baby back. You should have been gracious & done so on your own WITHOUT the court, you may have even been able to strike a deal like be the god parents or something. I saw your comment you wanted a sibling for the other adoptive baby? Seriously you sound so racist like that, it's crazy. I too can not have children bc or endometriosis so I know the pain, atleast you were blessed with some tho, I have none & never will. Could you imagine someone taking away one of your own children? Bc that is what you are doing to this man you are causing him the same pain you yourself would feel. Please do the right thing bc many fathers wouldn't care & you want to take from one who does! There are plenty of babies needing adoption please find one who you don't need to steal from a loving parent!
I'd really like to send this message to them! I'm appalled that they're asking for. $$ too! What a bunch of lowlife s! I'm with you their children should be taken away and see how they feel. Also in agreeance that when she is older if still with them how she is going to hate and resent them. Usually adoptive kids wanna know why they weren't wanted & when she sees how bad her father fought for her she is going to absolutely hate these people. I wish they'd come to their senses & do the right thing for everyone involved & adopt a child that is actually in need bc they are so many to choose from

Like all of you, I can not believe that the Freis family would do this. I truely believe they only want this child to make a "new colored pair" to the last son they adopted. If you have a soul, you will give this poor father his child back. You have ready have FIVE…yes five other children and you knew from the start it was so wrong. You are only hurting this father and HIS little girl….not YOURS. I just could not believe the courts have let his go on so long already!!!! I wish I could email them and tell them how bad they are. I also wish i could send money to him for his legal fees. Prayers to this father and his little girl!

Here's their blog: http://frei-adoption.com/Frei/Leah.html (I think they need to receive emails about how stealing and kidnapping is wrong.) They are refusing to give the baby back, although the judge has ordered them to do so. They have 60 days and I think that's too long. "They" feel they're better for this child than the child's black daddy. Out of control.

It's too bad the media wasn't following this when no one could get the father to respond or take an interest in his child. I don't doubt he wants the child back and has his parental rights–I'm not disputing that. But it's too easy to villify the Freis and just write about "how bad they are".

This article and following comments are loaded with hypocrisy and serious hate. Why send hate mail to people you don't even know? I have personally known the Frei family for 15 years and if any people are good and decent, they would be at the top of the list, despite what people who've read short news articles and blog posts may think. They obviously love Leah and naturally want to be with her. Being a mom to a toddler, I would fight just as hard for a child that I loved. When I first read on their blog about their story, I admit that while I deeply care about the family, I also felt sympathy for the father and wasn't so sure what side of the argument I was on. I can see it going both ways, which is why I'm sure it took the judge several weeks to come to a decision. They didn't steal - they were given the baby by her mother. Can you really picture a couple thinking that they will just hurry and take the baby while the father wasn't looking? It sounds to me from credible sources close to the family, not biased news outlets, that they had reason to believe the father did not want the child. They aren't racist, either. The commenters and news reporters have made them out to be racist when there is zero basis for it.

@Ann, there is NO hypocrisy in the article. Hypocrisy is when you say one thing and do another. Where do you see that? Read the very first paragraph of my article - "…I just want to say that I believe that the adoptive parents, Jared and Kristi Frei, are likely good people. They are, however, doing the wrong thing by not giving Terry Achane's daughter back to him after his wife gave her up for adoption without his knowledge!"
I immediately characterized the Frei family as good people. HOWEVER, THEY ARE DOING THE WRONG THING!
They Frei family, according to all published reports, KNEW that the father was unaware of the adoption! They KNEW this when they took the child! Although I can understand wanting to provide a safe home for her, once they were made aware that the father wanted the little girl it was their responsibility as good people to GIVE THAT LITTLE GIRL BACK TO HER DAD! He didn't ask for this situation to happen to him! The mother of his child did a horrible thing. The Frei family is exacerbating that by not doing the right thing! Period! What if it were YOUR child! What if YOUR husband gave YOUR child up and you couldn't find him or the child? What if the family who took your child refused to give her back? How would you feel? The Frei family is wrong, wrong, wrong in keeping the little girl - even though they may be good people!

@Foma, I NEVER said the Freis were bad! I SAID they were doing the wrong thing - and they ARE!
NOW, let me explain something about Terry Achane. The father DID show an interest in his child! HE didn't know where the child was! He had been trying to find Tira Bland AND the child - once he knew she didn't have an abortion! He contacted her friends and family, he contacted her family doctor and, once he found out where Tira had put the child up for adoption, he also contacted the adoption agency! The adoption agency refused to give him any information! He had to hire AN ATTORNEY to find out more information AND get his child back. How would YOU treat people who found out you didn't know your child was put up for adoption, YET wouldn't give her back? CERTAINLY, you would not think that they were your friends! The Frei family refused to give his daughter back. However, HIRING AN ATTORNEY IS SHOWING INTEREST! PERIOD! He doesn't have to send toys to show interest. He wasn't trying to GET HIS DAUGHTER! WHO ARE YOU to say that hiring an attorney to FIGHT for his daughter isn't enough? It is BEYOND enough AND it is the only thing that is going to reunite him with his child because the FREI FAMILY IS UNWILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THING! THOSE ARE THE FACTS my dear! The Frei family, as I stated in this article, might be good people but they are doing the WRONG thing!

@Foma, as a side note, I would NEVER trust what Tira Bland has to say! She deliberately tried to strip a man of his child. If she didn't want the child, why didn't she give the baby to him when he CLEARLY expressed that he wanted the child? SHE could have gone on with her life! The reason is simple. She was trying to punish him! It wasn't about the child. She wanted to get rid of the baby and pretend it didn't exist! She didn't care that he wanted the child or that he wanted to be a father to his little girl. She simply didn't care!

This is ridiculous!!!
Same thing happened to my uncle many years ago! His on/off gf had 2 kids for him, and was going to put them up for adoption without his knowledge. One was a newborn and the other was barely a year old! He got word of it, and ran to court and fought for custody. He won and raised them up on his own! She walked away and never really cared to look back.
The adoptive parents are SELFISH!! All they care about are themselves! To drag this out in court for so long, just because they are trying to buy time is SELFISH! They have their own biological children! ABSOLUTELY ridiculous!! Give the man back his child, and that Tira Bland should be sued for kidnapping along with the agency and the Fries!!!!

Being a military spouse sometimes we go for long periods of time unable to speak to or even email our spouse. That is just a fact of military life. Look into this girls history she has pulled some pretty selfish and hateful acts, even regarding her oldest daughter and the father. This is not a stable girl, in fact she is a spoiled immature girl. She threw a temper tantrum because he didn't give her All his attention and ALL the pay check, though she got most of it and still managed to lose a vehicle and get their cell phones turned off. Why? Because shopping for herself was so much more important. Yet he still managed to get her a used vehicle through family members, so no she was not left with nothing. Im sure he made mistakes in this whole mess before baby came, but punishment for a bad marriage isnt losing your daughter. What she has done to this baby girl, her daddy, and yes the Freis is unforgivable. Now the Freis are doing the same low moral thing to this man. They do say in their blog how they wanted a close similar sibling for their adopted son. In blunt words a black sibling. Family is colorblind, I can't help but feel these children are collectables to the Freis. They may be nice people, but they are wrong and immoral people. They talk about God and being good yet what they are doing is so obviously sinfully wrong. If they were so moral they wouldn't have gone through with the adoption in the first place without making sure the father knew. A Selfish act! And using an old address isn't trying. If they took one second and thought about what is best for baby Taleah then she would be with her father. My husband was a DI and while in school I didn't hear from him except maybe 5 times in the four and half months he was training and barely saw him while he was a DI. It is demanding training and a job that leaves no time in the day. So to those that have criticized him for not being more attentive or calling enough try to remember the job he does isn't a selfish one. What would him sending toys and cards that she can not read prove? That is a pretty lame excuse to try and justify not giving back a baby that belongs with her father. I do hope and pray that the Freis attempt at a stay against the judgment to return Taleah is denied and she is rightfully returned to her father, a father that also extended an invitation to allow them to be a part of her life.

@Outrageous he did NOT leave her without a home, car or money! He had ALL of the bills set up to come out of their bank account! That bank account was where his military check was direct-deposited! She had access to the account, just like he did! SHE is LYING when she says she had no money and didn't know how to reach him. He wasn't leaving to stay away from her - he told her he was going to get things straight on his new base so SHE AND his step-daughter could come with him! She didn't want to move!

'Before I start this sorted story, I just want to say that I believe that the adoptive parents, Jared and Kristi Frei, are likely good people.' ~ Ms Very Stupid
Why would you or anyone believe this when, on the face of it, all the evidence has pointed consistently to the fact that the Freis knew that Terry Achane had not given his permission for his baby to be adopted by the Freis or by anyone else?
I try to find out both sides of a story before passing judgement. I didn't want to jump to any conclusions here before I had had the chance to read the Freis' version of events.
I have concluded that the Freis are not likely good people. Rather, given their extraordinary and heartless conduct on this matter, the only reasonable conclusion is that the Freis are evil. The Freis try to present themselves on their blog as being devout Christians of good intent. They try to dress up their deeds by pretending to others, and perhaps to themselves, that they are carrying out God's word. Thus it was in the time of the Christos, when the hypocrites proclaimed their holiness on the street corners of Jerusalem.

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on survival after global cerebral ischemia in rats. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9537659 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been considered for many years for the treatment of severe brain ischemia. However, its efficacy has not been proven. The aim of this study was to shed light on this question. METHODS: Acute global cerebral ischemia was induced in 18 rats using the four-vessel occlusion model. Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) was determined by laser-Doppler flowmetry using a flexible 1 mm fiberoptic probe. Two stainless steel screws were used to measure the spontaneous electrical activity from the contralateral hemisphere. After ischemia monitored by laser-Doppler flowmetry and ECoG, the animals were divided into two groups: (1) control animals that breathed air at atmospheric pressure and (2) rats exposed to HBO at three atmospheres absolute pressure (ATA) for 1 hour. Survival time and rate were recorded for both groups of animals for 14 days. RESULTS: The survival rate in the study group was significantly higher (45%) than in the control group (0%). In the animals that did not survive the 14-day period, those exposed to HBO survived longer than the control animals (59.8+/-9.1 hour versus 17.9+/-2.7 hours, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This investigation demonstrates that HBO administered after global cerebral ischemia can increase survival in a rat stroke model. |

SEC officials shluod have been penalized for missing the Bernie Madoff fraud.A primary notion of the Securities laws of 1933 and 1934 was:\"People who sell and trade securities – brokers, dealers, and exchanges – must treat investors fairly and honestly, putting investors\' interests first.Goldman Sachs is both an investment bank and trader. GS shluod have a transparent way of notifying investors in the securities it sells of opposite trades GS takes (ie. short selling via puts).Here is article by Felix Salmon that . Mr. Salmon points out, in this very complicated deal, where the problem for GS is.Marketing tremendously complicated deals may hide critical details that don\'t put \"investor\'s interests first\". A hidden critical detail may also be the premise for the issueor placing a trade opposite the overall investment.The selling of investments and trading opposite (not insurance) seems to be the primary issue.

More bailouts:Roubini sees 'significantly riisng' risk that European monetary union will rip apart April 27, 2010 Greece's financial woes — and more important, the deepening fiscal problems of its European neighbors Portugal and Spain — could batter global credit markets, disrupt the economic recovery and potentially tear apart the 11-year-old European monetary union.Greece last week formally asked for a $60-billion bailout from the rest of Europe and the International Monetary Fund.Investors dumped bonds of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland on Tuesday, driving yields up.

This is classic son!!
benny-you are correct about uniwrerdting requiring adequate disclosure, but there is ZERO evidence that goldman did not do so. the documentation on this instrument ran to over 100,000 pages.further, the mortgages were selected by the buyer and put into an instrument that copied one from DB. goldman didn't issue the mortgages nor backstop them in any way, they just allowed their customer, at his own request, to bet on them in a certain way.this is more like a basket trade than an IPO.there was nothing inherently flawed about the instrument. it behaved precisely as it should. the customer just made a bad directional bet. if the housing market had done well, they would have cleaned up.the simple fact is the customer made a bad bet. you can't regulate away bad investment theses, nor should anyone want to.
Ciph keep up the good work, and jail rosenburg if you get the chance.
I think that the "Goldman fraud" is politically dervin. What a coincidence that the hearings are being held a) 6 months before the election and b) while the Senate is trying to pass legislation to prevent the next big financial failure.The real frauds are the congresspersons who are grandstanding to their constituents about how they manhandled GS at the hearing and that GS was the blame for the financial collapse instead of themselves.GS magically becomes the root of all evil instead of the very sorry morons in Congress, particularly the Senate that contributed to the near-collapse of the economy.Transference, duplicity and posturing.For the record, with all the campaign contributions GS has made to the Democratic party, there is no way in heck the financial regulation bill will serve the best interest of Americans, but it sure as heck will meet GS's and the financial industry's needs.It took a while, but that's where both Brooks and Epstein have it right.
I stated berfoe, Congress will go way beyond the moral hazard of too-big-to-fail, and it has with over a 1,300 page bill. Also, Democrats wants to debate "their" bill to score political points and promote "taxpayer" anger.It's very divisive, similar to Obama's recent speech:Obama's goal: "reconnecting" with the voters who voted for the first time in 2008, but who may not plan to vote in the lower-profile Congressional elections this year.Obama speaks with unusual demographic frankness about his coalition in his appeal to "young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 to stand together once again."

One of the best JE's.
I'm so excited to read what you have to say in this blog. As a meohtr of three water birth babies (two born at home) I absolutely love Business of Being Born! You did such a great job of presenting the tough facts without seeming judgmental of OBs, hospitals, and medical birth interventions. I have recommended that film to so many, and am currently reading your book. Can't wait to see the great discussions that will surely ensue here. Welcome aboard!
I loved the Business of Being Born. I think I may have even blogged about it here, but it's all a blur at this point. I'm linookg forward to a glimpse of life with older kids. Though I'll keep my hands over my eyes as I read, because I don't really want to know. Not yet. Welcome.

Note the following from Professor Bainbridge: The last parragaph: As documented elsewhere in this series of posts, the beneficiaries of Obama-Dodd-Frank financial reform will not be retail investors. Nor will it be institutional investors (such as pension or mutual funds). Instead, the prime beneficiary will the firms that provide proxy voting advice. Since RiskMetrics Group dominates that select group, it will be the main beneficiary of reform. But, as we've asked before, who holds RiskMetrics accountable?…

good show, but wish it was just redman and meth or just busta so as to go deep
Don't get me wrong, I think I'm a good mom. There are just so many opportunities to screw up—to screw them up. During every diiffcult conversation, I wonder if I'm saying the right thing. When it comes time to discipline, I always feel like I'm doing it all wrong. I completely relate to this, Rikki.So excited to see you part of BabayCenter. Looking forward to reading your posts. Nell

Great show! Bravo! Can we PLEASE here that last story about Meth and Busta in the 4-Runner!?
Crazy episode
Thank you guys ! -
I just had a crazy brainwave yo..
Didn't Busta say he hasn't dun a Pete Rock track for his own project?
Whaat? he must of forgot about his own album.. Genesis from 2001.. Shut 'Em Down 2002 was a Pete Rock track.. albeit a remixed Public Enemy instrumental, but it still counts.. check the credits people!
This J.EP was not one of the best to me. Busta added the best moment with his Janet's ass being worth the video budget. Overall, it was a 3 and out.
That was great! Red and Meth need to get their own podcast! Kinda a weird moment when Meth was saying that Ghost shouldn't be in the conversation when discussing the greatest MCs. I wonder what's going on there????
This was a Classic Ciph!

The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Fischer S-Bound 88 Backcountry Skis:
These skis are the perfect balance between touring and telemarking. You give up a little on the tracking, especially hard packed or groomed trails, but since that's not what I do, it's not an issue. I primarily use them to bushwhack, tour along our own network of back country trails and to get to some terrain where I can make a few turns. Just great!

Comments about Fischer S-Bound 88 Backcountry Skis:
I have spent the last couple of years renting skis for the perfect pair with little luck. My daughter just bought these skis and I borrowed them to ski the Snowy Range in Wyoming last weekend and was extremely impressed with the performance. When we got back to Colorado we went straight to REI and bought the same pair. I had purchased the Alpina 3-pin boots at christmas after trying a number of brands and really like this boot for comfort and support. I cant beleive the difference in a 3-pin and bar boot and binding but the differences are huge. I have better control in turns and climbing with the 3-pin binding.

Comments about Fischer S-Bound 88 Backcountry Skis:
We ski backcountry trails in Alaska, and purchased these skis as a package with the Fischer BCX675 boots. I formerly had a pair of Karhu Oddyseys that I tolerated for several years before buying these, and they're a tremendous improvement. Very easy turning, very controllable, and I think faster than the Karhus. I'm very satisfied- so far, no downside.

Download the Case Study
The project
During the environmental review the school grounds team noticed that the wildlife garden was becoming overgrown though lack of use. It was then decided to do something about this problem.
Our aims included:
Delivering the project and linking it to the curriculum
A small group of children, parents and myself came into school one Saturday and tidied up the area. The project wasn't initially planned into the curriculum. However throughout the year classes were beginning to use it for some of their science topics.
Getting the pupils involved
It was the pupil's idea to carry out the 'Big Tidy Up' on a Saturday rather in the week. They decided what needed to be tidied up and what to plant in the garden.
No funding was needed because we already had the equipment.
Project support
Parents helped during the 'Big Tidy Up' and donated gardening equipment. Some members of staff observed the gardening club and Eco-work. Governors were informed in the governor meetings. We are a member of the potato council so we grow our own potatoes.
Some members of the PFA (Parents and Friends Association) weren't happy that we were digging up the nettles in the garden but they were informed that nobody will use it while the nettles were there.
Benefits of being an Eco-School
The children have enjoyed the wildlife garden and gardening club. It gives them a sense of pride when they see what they have grown. They have learnt how to care for plants and to tell the difference between plants and weeds.
It also gives the children a chance to work with other age groups. Years 2 – 6 attend gardening club so they have the opportunity to work alongside each other.
Measuring the impact
We could measure the impact by the number of children who attend the club. Currently we have nearly twenty children a week and this number will increase when our new garden area will be ready in October.
Using the Pod's resources
We use the Pod for many things. In our new garden we will look at and use the Will the Worm and Bug Hotel resources.
Educational resources used
We are members of the Woodland Trust, Big Wildlife Garden and RHS Campaign for School Gardening. We have gained many awards and certificates since joining these schemes.
Lessons learned
The main advice would be to work together. Lots of people have different ideas and experiences so, by working together, these can be used to their full potential. Encouraging older children to work with younger children has helped throughout gardening club.
Next steps
The project has developed ideas for the biodiversity team. We are looking forward to our new school and garden in October. The new gardening area is a blank space at the moment so it will be wonderful to work together in developing this site into a vegetable and fruit patch, complete with compost bins and water butts.
Local Authority support
I have attended Eco-Schools network meetings.

RAD Soldiers
RAD Soldiers quickly replaced Hero Academy as my favorite turn-based strategy game thanks to its modern feel and deep customization options. Players build out a squad of deadly mercenaries and fight over missile crash sites at locales across the globe (for some reason), earn cash, and spend it on recruiting new members. Game maps are sectioned off as a grid, and are riddled with low cover and high cover locations which can mitigate incoming fire. Each character has a certain number of action points they can use in a turn, a selection of special abilities, and health bar that varies in size by character. You can chew on single-player challenges for awhile to earn rewards, or you can take the fight online against other players. Expansion packs can be bought through in-app purchases, or you can pick up the in-game currency to fast track your mercenary outfit's gear.
RAD Soldiers is a fine mix of strategy and action, with plenty of progression and customizability to boot.

Im not sure if this is an XBMC specific issue or not, but I do know that before Eden, XBMC had no problem playing these files correctly. I cannot get my files to play in 5.1 in any other program either, like VLC or Foobar. I have zero problems with videos playing in 5.1, only FLAC.
For what its worth, II have gone into my sound card properties, and done a DTS and Dolby "test" through windows, and the receiver switches over to both just fine. I would think im missing something simple, but I cant figure it out. I have everything configured in XBMC that I know of, to correctly play 5.1 (system>audio output>5.1 optical enabled, dts and dolby capable receiver is checked)
Im using SPDIF.
Thank you for any help.

I figured it out, completely on accident. I have about 6-8 different options for my audio device, not sure why. I changed it to one that said "speakers" instead of "direct sound", and it works now on XBMC.

I cannot get 5.1 FLAC to work for the life of me: Running Win7 x64 - XBMC 12 Frodo Alpha 2 - HDMI Audio (Intel HD2000 on i5-2320 processor). Yamaha RX-A3000 Receiver connected to Samsung TV via HDMI
XBMC Log: http://pastebin.com/JQzaPthZ Windows Supported Formats: Channels 8 - Bit Depths: 16 20 24-bit Sample Rates 32.0, 44.1, 48.0, 88.2, 96.0, 176.4, 192.0 KHz Encoded Formats: DTS Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital 100% Volume - Allow applications to take exclusive control & Give exclusive mode enabled I can connect to XBMC via the receiver and play DTS FLAC over the network with no issues. Yamaha's interface is pathetic! When playing within XBMC I get static whether using WASAPI or DirectSound. I went so far as disconnecting the HDMI between receiver/monitor and using analogue VGA for monitor and still pass sound over HDMI. Windows & XBMC then reported RX-A3000 vs Samsung as the WASAPI/DirectSound device but still got static with FLAC DTS After reconnecting HDMI back to Samsung monitor Windows reports Samsung again and XBMC had additional WASAPI/DirectSound choices - Samsung and a string of numbers (like a device ID that isn't enumerated). All choices still result in FLAC DTS playing static. Well that's probably more info than needed or confusing but I'm just at my wits end in getting this to work. Everything else works great: Movies DTS/AC3 are not a problem. BluRay ISOs no-problems.

Just registered to post my findings. It's related to the newest version of VLC I'm afraid.
Not sure where to post this, it's a pretty big deal. I rolled back to 2.0.0 and FLAC surround files are playing just fine. The surround bug seems to be isolated to FLAC encoding as well because AC3 tested just find on the latest (2.0.3) build |

Be A Part of The Great Recovery
Dave Ramsey is spearheading a movement called The Great Recovery. It's a grassroots movement for people who are tired of waiting on Washington for solutions and answers. According to TheGreatRecovery.com, the government can't fix this economy– only individual families can by returning to God and grandma's way of handling money.
Ramsey, along with several other prominent Christian leaders, will kick of The Great Recovery movement with a free event tonight, July 21, 2011. You can register for free at TheGreatRecovery.com simply by entering your name and email address. You'll then have access to the live webcast presented by Dave Ramsey from 7-8pm.
In addition to signing up for this free live event, you can also read articles by Christian leaders on biblical stewardship. Chris Goulard, Pastor of Stewardship at Saddleback Church, believes there is a movement going on in the church toward true, biblical stewardship, something that has been missing for years. "Many have mischaracterized it and used it interchangeably with giving or—even worse—the annual stewardship message from the pastor who's just talked about tithing," Chris said in the article. "I would love to see the word reclaimed."
Wondering what stewardship is? According to Goulard it's the understanding that we are only managers of our things, not the owner. He
says it boils down to three points:
1. God owns it all.
2. We are all stewards.
3. We have a responsibility to manage it for His glory.

Appealed from the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (June 26, 2009)
Oral argument: April 20, 2010
In 2007 petitioner, Brian Russell Dolan, pled guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury. The United States District Court for the District of New Mexico sentenced Dolan to 21 months in prison. At sentencing, the district court recognized that restitution was required by the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act, but declined to issue a specific restitution order without first receiving more information regarding payments owed. Two hundred and nine days after sentencing, the district court issued a restitution order requiring Dolan to pay $104,649.78. Dolan, claiming that 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5) precludes ordering restitution more than 90 days after sentencing, argued that the district court lacked the authority to order restitution. The United States, on the other hand, insists that a district court's failure to meet the 90-day deadline does not extinguish its authority to order restitution. Both the district court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit rejected Dolan's claim, holding instead that district courts retain permanent authority to impose restitution. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve the issue of whether a district court may enter a restitution order beyond the time limit prescribed in 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5).

Im curious how you did it. my friend and I put one on his dodge and we had to pull the bed. so deff let me know how you did and how long it took you guys to put it all together
does anyone know if you gotta drop the tank? or pull the bed? how did you install it. My friend took his bed off
it all depends on you, i personally droped the tank, the only thing that was hard bout that was the skid plate, but heres a tip i got the 150 an they only have 100 instructions, which aint to bad till your hookin up the lines, an getin ready to put the new straw in, som make sure you call em an they can email you the draw straw instructions, an make sure you dont sit the tank flat on the ground you will flaten the bottom of the tank an cut to much off the straw, honestly it took us like 8 hours but thats cause we kept runnin back an forth to buy stuff, we needed a jack then we need the fuel line tool(3.99 at orielys) an we needed more beer, if you get into a jam just call em they leave numbers on there machine we ended up havin toe owner help us with all are issues, all an all it was a pain in my a$# but if i did it again i would say there is no reason you couldnt be done in 4 hours or less , but it is an awsome system, dont look at it as a power adder, look at it as a fuel saver, you will see the benifets right away

Since the 19th century, the common conception of ''the author'' has gone something like this: A young man, in his garret, writes furiously, crumpling up papers and throwing them on the floor, losing track of time, heedless of the public, obsessed with his own imagination. He is aloof, elusive, a man whom you know only by his writing and the portrait in his book. Writers themselves have sustained this myth, asking readers to keep their distance from authors, who should remain enigmatic. W. B...

A novel manuscript from author Claude McKay has been discovered: http://aalbc.it/claudemckay
The Jamaican born McKay is often cited as initiating what would later be known as The Harlem Renaissance.
2 replies to this topic
Posted 16 September 2012 - 08:32 AM
This discovery of an unknown novel by Claude McKay is terrific news and a fascinating story; I look forward to reading the novel when it is published. As I posted on my blog, McKay was very important for me in my work on THE BLACK RUSSIAN because he visited the Soviet Union in the early 1920s, or just a few years after the 1917 Russian Revolution. Like other black American writers, intellectuals, artists, and technical specialists who would go to the Soviet Union later, he wanted to examine the great "social experiment" that the new state was conducting, and especially to experience its colorblindness. He published two articles in The Crisis (December 1923 and January 1924) about his trip that illuminated how Russians viewed black people. First of all, McKay was struck by "the distinctive polyglot population of Moscow" (a reflection of the fact that Russia had been a multi-ethnic empire). He was also charmed to discover that "to the Russian, I was merely another type, but stranger, with which they were not yet familiar. They were curious with me, all and sundry, young and old, in a friendly, refreshing manner." Because McKay spent most of his leisure time "in non-partisan and anti-bolshevist circles," as he characterized them, he concluded that this attitude was inherent in the Russian pre-Revolutionary cultural mentality and not the "effect of Bolshevist pressure and propaganda." One of McKay's young acquaintances was actually perplexed that anyone would pay special attention to him: "But where is the difference? Some of the Indians are as dark as you." This is what Frederick Thomas also encountered in pre-Revolutionary Russia when he arrived in 1899 and what allowed him to achieve spectacular success in Moscow.

What Is This?
This guide explains a unique magic PvP combat system. If anyone wishes to use this system, I don't care for credit, but link me to your OOC so that I may watch how it preforms in different settings. If you have any comments, just drop me a message. I <3 feedback.
Lets Get Started!
The guide is definitely not a quick read, even after all my efforts to condense information. Unless you are in TAoM, you aren't likely to have any motivation to take your time learning a combat system you aren't required to be a part of. Most of the people who would enjoy this don't like complexity, and I feel bad that I might be scaring away my target audience. So before you click away, please consider:
The finalized version of TAoM was finished on 1/14/13. For the next few days, only minor edits and help text will be added/changed.

Vietnam Golf Client Testimonials
Dear Ms Trang,
We have just returned home after a wonderful trip. The hotel was excellent. The picking up and dropping off, golf courses, caddies, facilities at golf courses were top class.
Mr Tung, our guide was fantastic, well organized with a great sense of humor, he was loved by everybody in our group.
We all thought the Danang Greg Norman golf course, was superior in design and upkeep.
Thank you for all the organizing of a wonderful trip.
Regards Denis D.

We had a great holiday with no worries. The trip was perfectly organized.
Many thanks to Golfasian.
Best Regards,
Erich O. H.
Swizerland, January 2012
Well, I am finally home from my trip and rested so that I can write about it.
The trip was great. All of the guides were excellent and always on time as were the drivers. I had no worries about being left at the airports or stranded in any way.
The hotels were all good. I found it interesting that the only hotel that charged for use of the internet was the 5 Star Equatorial in Ho Chi Minh City. That included the 3 star hotel in Hanoi.
I know that you try to use only 4 or 5 star hotels. However, I thought that on my first trip to Hanoi I wanted to be in the Old Quarter which is the heart of Hanoi. The Golden Sun II suited me perfectly. It was two blocks from the lake which is the center of the Old Quarter. It was in the middle of all the noise, confusion, and activity of Hanoi. I was able to walk to the major sites in Hanoi such as the Prison Museum, the Museum of the Revolution, and the History Museum. In front of the hotel, there was no place to walk because the sidewalks were filled with motorbikes and people cooking their meals. I understand that for some customers this might not appeal but as I said, I was delighted with it.
All in all, I had a most enjoyable holiday. I ate well, I slept well, I saw some interesting things from the Mekong Delta to the Perfume Pagoda and I played six rounds on some very lovely golf courses. I would not hesitate to recommend or use the services of your company again. This is the third time that I have used your services and have not been disappointed any time.

Hi Mark,
Have a few hours to kill at Singapore airport so I am using time to report back on trip.
Many thanks for organising a great experience of Vietnam and Siem Reap. Everything went smoothly.
Hotels selected were all good. We walked in town most evenings and caught hotel transport or taxis back later in evening
All guides were punctual and well presented and with good english vocabulary and knowledge of area.
Golf at Siem Reap, Cambodia was on really difficult course Phokeetra? because every hole had water which sometimes required 3 crossings.
Visited new nick faldo course and met pro Adam Roberson that we know from Scotland This course is far more user friendly and in great condition and clubhouse is now open another new course in siem riep under constuction so 3 courses will be available as from 2009.
chin lin star in Hanoi: Good hilly layout with clubhouse at top of hill. 4/5 courses around hanoi all good.
At Long Than, outside Ho chi min city, played the hill course - good hilly layout and some great holes including a 605 yard par 5( driver, 3 wood. 3 wood . wedge for me )
The other Lake course looked super and was being set up for a tournament
This course also had flood lights on some closing holes for late finishers if required also good clubhouse with views over the 2 courses
Food was good but not as spicy as Thailand.
Traffic mainly motor cycles in both Hanoi and Saigon quite hectic
Little or no pollution or fumes in cities and also quite clean considering the size of population
Best regards,
Barry Edkins, South Africa

25.Dec.2010 Running Santa
The following is a work of fiction. Merry Christmas!
It was cold and dark still. The early morning traffic was light, if not non-existent. During the day the steady flow of traffic (both foot and vehicular) changed the available landscape dramatically. But at this early hour the pavement was clear and open.
I took a deep breath and two bounds down the short landing to the sidewalk and started my music in a fluid motion. I was off and jogging down the smooth red brick.
After a few minutes I turned to go up through the town center. The snow on the ground had been reduced to icy lumps on both sides of the walkway. The shop lights were still on showcasing the holiday decorations adorning the window displays of the hippest clothing, most advanced electronics and other shiny new toys. Red, green, blue and white lights blinked on all sides, accented with the flashing yellow and red of the traffic lights.
A few blocks later and the shops were gone. The sidewalk winding down hill towards the running path along the main road was lined with home decorated to various degrees. The spartan but charming fake candles in each window at one house. Another with a fat inflated Santa-scene in a snow globe with it's automatic fan humming throughout the night to keep it inflated. Hand tied ribbons adorned the next house. A red velvet bow tied along it's cast iron railing and on the evergreen wreath on the door.
After 20 minutes I still hadn't seen another soul. No cars or dogs or other crazy runners are up this early on Christmas morning, I thought as I veered off the sidewalk onto the paved path along the river. Most normal people are still enjoying the warmth of their beds.
My breathing steadily coinciding with every other stride as I surveyed the pavement ahead. Luckily night was starting to fade and the pre-dawn light exposed the worst patches of black ice. I followed the path to it's end into a cul-de-sac and continued past the huge brick townhouses. In the dim light their most severe flaws and cracked bricks were hidden and they were temporarily transformed to their former glorious states. Their decorations were a little disheveled here and there but the spirit of the holidays permeated the long row of housing.
I took a right and was startled by a shadow moving quickly between the houses up ahead. Whenever I'm running in the morning I get spooked by the simplest of things: a squirrel running between a shrub and tree or a deer standing perfectly still. I slowed immediately and squinted to see better. Whatever it was wasn't moving again and wasn't immediately in sight. I slowed and stopped; straining my eyes to see the movement again. Suddenly it, rather, he, bounded off of a stoop and ran toward me and to another house on the street. This was actually a pretty normal sight in the early AM outside the city. Delivering papers is still done door to door. But do they deliver on Christmas? I asked myself as I resumed my jog. We closed the distance and the so-called "paper boy" and noticed that there was no car following where his papers were stashed. Maybe its the end of his route, I concluded.
At about 100 yards I noticed the all red running suit with white accents. Festive. The hat to match was a nice touch. He bounded up a stoop and crouched just for a second. He turned and jumped down the 5 stairs and hit the ground running to the next house across the yard; when running between houses he was moving quickly, much faster than my own pace. At about 10 yards I noticed as he crouched he left a shiny silver envelope at each door step and had a handful in his left hand and a quiver peaking out of the pocket of his red running pants. He stood, turned and leap down to ground level from another porch and landed soundlessly on the ground poised to move but perfectly still as if startled to see me. I speechlessly raised an arm to wave and continued by. He winked and started running as if off a set of blocks. The red runner sped across the grass and headed towards another porch. I turned and craned my neck but only caught a flash of red disappear down the street.
I continued jogging on my way back home. Each house I passed had a shiny envelope at the front door, waiting for the home owners to finish their traditional Christmas morning exercises: rooting through stockings, opening presents and cooking Christmas-y breakfasts. What a great additional gesture of cheer the Running Santa was bestowing to the neighborhood, I thought. Cheered myself by the random act of kindness. I took the next left and headed back towards home. A few flurries had started to fall and the first early morning drivers were starting to venture out towards their Christmas morning destinations. My destination was the warmth of our living room with crackling fire. My plans were hot spiced coffee and a relaxing day of Christmas classics and preparing the traditional evening meal. A day of rest without the to-do lists or computer screen.
I rounded the final bend and climbed the last short incline. Despite the frigid air I sweaty and damp, but thoroughly warmed from the jog. Our windows were still dark inside but each was bordered with a string of white lights. At the bottom of the steps I stopped to stretch, beginning a perfectly relaxing Christmas. After a few minutes I started up the stairs toward the door, and just missed stepping on the shiny silver envelop with wishes and words for the holiday and New Year.
Merry Christmas from the Running Santa.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
When he meets with about a dozen business executives at the White House today, President Barack Obama will be looking for support for $1.6 trillion in new revenue, to avoid the "fiscal cliff" in January.
A spokesman says Obama is bringing to the table a proposal involving new taxes on business and the wealthy. The targeted revenue is twice the amount Obama discussed with Republican leaders during debt talks last year.
Jay Carney says the figure, combined with $1.1 trillion in spending cuts already signed into law, would reduce deficits by $4 trillion.
Today's meeting with CEOs follows a gathering of labor leaders and liberal groups yesterday. Participants said Obama remained clear that he would push for his campaign pledge of making the wealthiest Americans pay more in taxes.
Failure to act would bring automatic spending cuts and higher taxes on all Americans. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, middle-income families would pay an average of about $2,000 more next year.
The President has scheduled a news conference immediately before today's meeting with business leaders.

Home > Next Century Innovators Awards > Jane Jacobs
Jane Jacobs
Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.
Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
City of Birth: Scranton, Pennsylvania
Field: Urban development
Innovation: Framework for understanding and promoting the vitality of cities
Idea: Jane Jacobs turned urban planning discourse on its head in the late 1950s. Writing at the height of the "planned city" approach to urban development, Jacobs provides an alternative framework, based on observations of existing social, political, and economic functions of dynamic city neighborhoods. Jacobs introduced ideas of social capital and mixed-use neighborhoods.
Influence: Applications of Jacobs' work is manifested in built spaces all over the world. She pioneered the mixed-use city—a city in which residential, leisure, and commercial spaces overlap, and inform one another. Jacobs' ideas influenced all actors in city development—including city planners, investors, businesses, and city residents.
Jacobs' legacy is visible and invisible; its most literal impact can be seen in neighborhoods like New York's Greenwich Village, where she organized local residents to reject plans based on the planned city. Jacobs has influenced great cities all over the world. And, as great innovations do, her thinking now influences schools of thought in urban planning, but also in politics, international development, sociology, and economics.
