 Reserve a copy of this book
***JUST SO YOU KNOW*** All of the posts in our book discussion series contain questions and reviews that could possibly reveal parts of the plot you may rather discover by reading the book. Proceed with caution!***
The Book Discussion Series enhances the reading experience by providing a list of interpretive questions compiled by librarians of the Cleveland Heights University Heights Public Library.
Brief synopsis:Â When mouse widow Mrs. Frisby needs advice on how to move her children safely, she consults the rats who live under the rosebush. Not only do they help her, they tell her of their escape from a laboratory where experimentation had made them literate, and of the brave death of her husband.Â
The popular children's literature blog A Fuse #8 Production ran a poll of best children's novels and the review in that poll, where the book ranked 32nd best ever children's novel, not only tells what it's about but also the background of the book and author. This book is so rich in content and presentation; I remember wanting to discuss the way Mr. O'Brien draws the picture of mouse society when another person in the discussion brought up that her dislike of the book wasn't most people's; she liked the story and had no problem with animal testing. This threw me because I had not even thought about why the book might be about that, it's just sort of taken as given background that these mice are gifted. This is just one example of how discussing this book in a book club or class will be rewarding.
Discussion Questions
- How would you describe this book? Why? What genre would you say it is?
 - Why does Mrs. Frisby decide to help Jeremy even though it means that she is risking her safety and that of her children? How does it end up being good that she does? �
 - Describe some of the other situations in the book where characters help one another. What are the outcomes of those situations? Do preconceptions change as a result of characters helping one another? How would the situations have been different if the characters had decided not to help?
 - Who would you say is the most important character in this book? Why?
 - Who would you say is the bravest character in this book? Why? Similarly, how would you define bravery?
 - How would the story be different if the rats and mice had never been involved in the experiments at NIMH?
 - Do you think the experiments at NIMH were valuable? Why or why not? What did the scientists hope to gain by running the experiments? Would you say that the experiments were a success? Was it right for the scientists to perform such experiments? Why or why not? How would you describe the scientists? What is your opinion on animal research?
 - After the mice and rats escaped, do you think the scientists continued the research with another group of animals? Why or why not? If they did, how might they have changed the experiments based on what they learned from the animals that escaped?
 - When the scientists come to the Fitzgibbons' farm, why do they try to kill the rats? Could they have rectified the situation differently?
 - Before you meet the rats, what is your opinion of them? What do the other animals think of them? In general (outside of the book), how are rats thought of? Why do you think the author chose rats as the "heroes†in this book? How are the rats in this story different than rats you encounter in other stories?
 - Why do animals consult the owl for advice when they have a problem? Does the owl give Mrs. Frisby good advice? Why isn't she satisfied with his answer? How does the owl change toward Mrs. Frisby when he finds out who her husband was? �
 - Why is the owl unwilling to move from his tree? Why does he acknowledge the fact that it will fall and declare that he will fall with it? What does this tell you about his character? (Compare this to Mrs. Frisby's attitude about the destruction of her home and the rats' attitude about the destruction of their home).
 - Why do the animals think so highly of Mr. Frisby? What did you think before you found out what he did for the rats?
 - Why do you think Mr. Frisby never told his wife about NIMH? Why did Mr. Ages never tell her about it after Mr. Frisby died? Why didn't Mr. Ages tell Mrs. Frisby how her husband died? If you were Mrs. Frisby, would you rather have known or not known?
 - Why does Mrs. Frisby decide to tell her children about NIMH? Do you think it's important that they know?
 - The rats talk about how the NIMH experiments changed them so that other rats were wary of them and would not accept them. Do you think that this was also true for the mice? Mrs. Frisby doesn't seem to have noticed anything different or strange about her husband or Mr. Ages. She also accepts his teaching her how to read and explaining things such as electricity without question. Why do you think this is?
 - How would the story have been different had the rats never found the toy tinker? Do you think it was good that they found him or do you think it was bad that they found him? Why? Do you think they would have come to the same conclusions about their lives if they had never found him?
 - What did you expect to find inside the rose bush? How did your expectations compare to what was really there?
 - Why did the rats come up with their Plan? Do you think it will succeed? Why do Jenner and some of his friends disagree with the Plan? Do they have valid concerns? Which side of the argument would you be on if you lived with the rats?
 - Who is Isabella? Why do you think the author included her in the story? Would the story have been different without her?
 - Why does Billy capture Mrs. Frisby and put her in the birdcage? Why does it end up being a good thing that he does? What do you think would have happened had Mrs. Frisby had never overheard the story about the rats in the hardware store?
 - Several characters question the newspaper headline "Mechanized Rats Invade Hardware Store.â€Â Why is that? Why do you think that the reporter wrote such a headline? Why do you think that the author leaves that mystery unsolved?
 - You never find out for sure if the men who come to the farm are really the NIMH scientists. Do you think that they probably were? What other possible explanation(s) could there be?
 - Do you think that the rat who went back to save the one last rat was Justin? Why or why not? Does the author want us to think that it is? Why do you think the author does not tell us for sure?
 - Do you think Mrs. Frisby's children will be successful in finding the rats in Thorn Valley? Do you think Mrs. Frisby wants to find them? Why or why not? Why does the author end the story where he does? How else could he have ended it? Do the mice have to go to Thorn valley themselves in order to find out how the rats are doing?
 - Has anyone read the other NIMH books? They were written by the author's daughter and at least the first one followed notes that her father had written. How do the daughter's books compare to the father's? If you haven't read the other books, would you be curious to read them?
 - This book received the Newbery medal. Why do you think it was chosen as the winner?
 - Has anyone seen the movie? Did you like the movie? How did it compare to the book?
 - What do you think of the cover? Does it make you want to read the book? Why do you think Mrs. Frisby pictured wearing a dress and hat?
 - What did you think of the title? What did you think the book would be about before you started reading it? Why did the author give the book this name?

Right gestures during interview can bag you job

Whether you are in a social gathering or in an interview, the combination of verbal and non-verbal communication (gestures, postures and body language) is of utmost importance. On several occasions we tend to overlook the necessity of transmitting the right non-verbal signals and end up conveying wrong messages. "We always look at the candidate's balance between non-verbal and verbal communication while conducting an interview. Certain non-verbal signals such as eye contact and overall body language are very important in our recruitment process. If we find a candidate constantly rolling his eyes or fidgeting, we immediately know that he's lying. Therefore, there are other cues which indicate if the candidate is confident or otherwise." says BVM Rao, Head Human Resources at Shoppers Stop.
For any recruiter it is crucial to keep in mind some of the basic non-verbal aspects. Shital Kakkar Mehra, Corporate Etiquette & Protocol consultant at Soft Skills International lays down some of these factors:
> Non-verbal first impression tools: The way you exchange cards, your handshake and eye contact – all create impact in the first few seconds of your interaction with the interviewers. Also, pay attention to your attire and accessories as they too send quick non-verbal signals.
> Posture: Although our sedentary lifestyles and constant use of technology gadgets have led to slouching and hunching for long hours, sitting/ standing upright during an interview signals – "I am confident" and "I am motivated to be with you", signaling interest.
> Fidgeting: Tapping your feet, drumming your fingers, doodling, touching your hair/ face – all conveys the same message "I would rather be somewhere else". Instead minimise your body language gestures so that the interviewers can focus on your words and not get distracted by your non-verbal signals.
> Physical space: People who are under-confident tend to shrink into their own bodies, reducing the space they take up physically and in the minds of their listeners. In an interview, sit confidently and use hand gesture
In case if any of the above non-verbal signal requirement is not met, the interviewer goes for cross-questioning rounds with the candidates. "Over a period of time one can master the art of verbal communication. However, by putting the candidate in an uncomfortable zone through cross-questioning about past experience, recruiter can understand if the candidate is suited for the position," says Prakash Nahata, CEO, Anthroplace Consulting Pvt Ltd. He further adds, "In several cases we focus on the candidate's overall presentation – starting from the time they enter the office premise to the time he leaves the recruiter's room. Here, as the candidate remains unaware of our screening process to measure his non-verbal aptitude, we end up getting valued information about him."
Though the weightage between verbal and non-verbal communication varies in different organisations, it is important to strike a balance between the two for a successful communication process. Companies are becoming more careful in their candidate selection process and even after recruitment the employees are provided with ongoing communication training to enhance the customer interaction level.

but no time.
This is just brilliant, love the fish and....is there a bell on your blog?? I'm thinking it's the telly, then the back door, coz we have a hanging bell there, I've not turn off the telly and there's still A BELL RINGING!! How weird! any way, your art work is amazing...going now to hunt out that bell again!! Have a great crafting week. HaPpY wOyWw!!
((Lyn)) #19 now!
Lurrrrve your zentangle name, absolutely brilliant. I'm really getting into it but have decided to keep a pattern journal like Shoshi, because I keep seeing all these fab patterns and then promptly forgetting them. Old age...*sigh*
Your groper fish is amazing too, love the light and shade on him.
Hugs, LLJ #74 xx
OMG, I want some of your drawing talent. Have I mentioned that before? Do you know of book that would be good for an absolute beginner? Even a doodling book - which is probably more my style -- easy doodles like flowers.
Your artwork really blows me away. I love the fish - he's so much prettier than his photo!
Thank you for your lovely comment about my little miss Daisy. Yes, I can see how you understand. I'm amazed that you had a duck that lived to the rip age of 17!!
#48 (you've already visited)
Enjoy your time off to play. The first thing I noticed on your desk were those FISH! Big fish! Very neat looking but kind of spooky (big fish lurking in dark waters spook me, good thing I live in the desert). The Zentangle doodle is awesome, but oh my, the work that went into that. My hand would cramp!
Tria's are alcohol ink pens similar to copic but better you only need one pen not multiple ones in the same family. With Tria's you also have a huge ink tank and 3 nibs. I have copic and never use them anymore.
Thanks for dropping by. Just fed your fish again, so they can fatten up. LOL
Happy crafting
I really love getting comments but due to a high amount of spam I had to take the anonymous user off of the comments. Sorry to those who can't leave a comment.
Thanks, Von.

I've seen Bloggiesta come up in previous years and always thought I should join in, but there's always been some reason why I couldn't. This year it's being held the last weekend of September, which is the same weekend as the big annual event of my employer, the Sajai Foundation, but I think my blog is so sadly out of date that I will try to squeeze it in.
I'm not sure what all I might do, but I absolutely will update my blogroll, which doesn't reflect many of the book blogs that I follow and enjoy. That's priority number one. I may try to freshen the look of the blog itself, even though I'm woefully lacking in those kinds of skills. If I get really ambitious, I might start planning ahead for the Bleak house read-along.

Brome, Richard (brm, brōm), c.1590–1652, English dramatist. He was the friend, servant, and disciple of Ben Jonson. Primarily a writer of realistic satiric comedy, picturing the life and manners of Caroline bourgeois London, he also produced several tragicomedies, but with much less success. The main features of his plays are the humor characters (see humor humor, according to ancient theory, any of four bodily fluids that determined human health and temperament.

Continued from part two.
"And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord." (D&C 119: 4)
Only First Presidency statements can officially interpret scripture and only those interpretations are binding upon the church, even as binding as the scriptures themselves. The First Presidency has already interpreted the meaning of the word interest in a letter written on 19 March 1970. Here is the quote of that letter dealing with tithing:
What is a proper tithe?
For your guidance in this matter, please be advised that we have uniformly replied that the simplest statement we know of is that statement of the Lord himself that the members of the Church should pay one-tenth of all their interest annually, which is understood to mean income. No one is justified in making any other statement than this. We feel that every member of the Church should be entitled to make his own decision as to what he thinks he owes the Lord, and to make payment accordingly. (First Presidency Statement, 19 March 1970)
The above quote is found in the Church General Handbook. Go up to your bishop and ask to see the section on tithing. It quotes from this First Presidency Statement. Those who understand the doctrine, such as the prophet, merely re-iterate this same statement:
President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "The Brethren have interpreted the word interest to mean income. Beyond that they have not given interpretation."
The word income, however, is open to interpretation. Who decides what it means? You do. It could mean gross income or net income, after expenses. It could mean profit, surplus or bank interest, etc. During the time of Brigham Young it was defined as increase. Get out your Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young manual and search out what he said about tithing.
Once or twice a year, a GA or two will speak on tithing. Occasionally, they will define the word interest beyond what the First Presidency has stated. Don't take it as gospel. It's merely their opinion, and their hope that you will interpret the word interest the same way as they do.
My personal opinion is that interest (income) means surplus. I have come to this conclusion for the following reasons:
- JST Genesis 14: 39 states, "Wherefore Abram paid unto him tithes of all that he had, of all the riches which he possessed, which God had given him more than that which he had need." Abram paid tithes on his surplus.
- The saints are to pay tithing annually. Not monthly, not weekly, not whenever they get more gross income. When you pay tithing annually, the reason must be because you are doing an accounting of what came in, what went out, what was consumed and what is now left over (the interest, increase, income, surplus.) At the end of the year, you can make a determination of how much surplus you have and then give the tenth-part to the Lord.
- Webster's 1828 dictionary defined interest as "5. Any surplus advantage." Webster's 1828 dictionary defined advantage as "7. Interest; increase; overplus." Both of these definitions equate to surplus. D&C 119 came out in 1838, so this was the dictionary in use at the time.
- The RLDS (now Community of Christ) church defines it as surplus. They tithe after deducting their living expenses.
- The law of tithing is not meant to oppress the poor. The scriptures define poor as anyone who has no surplus, yet has sufficient for their needs. (See Mosiah 4: 24.) Those who don't have sufficient for their needs are also considered the poor.
- When you make your tithing declaration at the end of the year, you can declare yourself a full tithe payer, a partial tithe payer, or exempt. Obviously some people can justifiably declare themselves exempt. Who are they? They are the poor, as defined by scripture, meaning those who have no surplus.
When interest is understood to mean surplus, the law of tithing becomes exceedingly easy to obey. Nevertheless, this interpretation is just my opinion and belief. As the First Presidency stated, You are "entitled to make [your] own decision as to what [you think you owe] the Lord, and to make payment accordingly."
There is more to come in part four.

LDSA, in part two you mentioned the CYOA principle of the gentiles.
Does that principle imply that if you are not sure in what manner to obey a principle, you set the bar as high as possible and obey the principle in such a manner that requires the most effort?
If so, why did you not choose to pay tithing on your gross income (before tax, not deducting any expenses). This way you would follow the CYOA principle, for surely this way the 10% chunk is the largest there can be.

How to solve the world's trickiest problems
How to solve the world's trickiest political problems?
In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision. From terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful.
Why can't we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists?
Why can't we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather?
Why can't we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences?
And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international relations?
This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young Australian thinker.

WARSAW—A Polish military prosecutor Tuesday played down a report that traces of explosives had been found on the Polish government jet that crashed in 2010 in Russia, saying more tests were needed to identify chemicals sampled from the wreckage.
Daily Rzeczpospolita reported Tuesday that traces of TNT and nitroglycerin were found on the wreckage that remains in Russia two and a half years after the accident, in which former President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and scores of public officials died. The delegation of 96 people was on its way to an event in western Russia commemorating Polish victims of a Soviet massacre during World War II.
The conservative-leaning newspaper, Poland's largest business daily, didn't cite sources in its report.
WARSAW — Poland conceded this week that the bodies of some of the victims of a Polish airplane crash in Russia in 2010 were mixed up in Moscow and put in the wrong graves. Almost two and a half years after the accident, Polish prosecutors said they're only beginning to verify the identities of those buried.
The 96 victims — including Polish President Lech Kaczynski — were exposed to massive stress when the Russian-made Tu-154 jet crashed into a ravine in thick fog and disintegrated almost completely. Investigators in Moscow said they used DNA testing to be able to identify many bodies, and claimed at the time that all the victims had been identified correctly.
Most of the metal coffins brought from Russia were left unopened before funerals in Poland.
Inconsistencies found in Russian autopsy documents — such as incorrect heights and internal organ descriptions of the victims — prompted Polish officials to begin exhuming the bodies this year. Exhumations last week revealed that the bodies of two victims had been put in incorrect graves, Poland's military prosecutors said Tuesday.
Two years after the death of Polish President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others in a plane crash united the nation in mourning, the accident is aggravating deep divisions in Polish society.
Conservative Poles—many of them backers of the late president's Law and Justice party—say the centrist government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk has failed to properly investigate the disaster, in which the jet carrying a Polish delegation slammed into the ground in western Russia.
These people, deeply distrustful of Moscow, which for decades kept Poland as a Soviet satellite state, say no cause should be ruled out—even a plot to assassinate Poland's top leaders—until the circumstances of the crash have been thoroughly probed.
Polish government investigators have concluded that bad weather, mistakes by the Polish Air Force detachment in charge of transporting the president, as well as errors by Russian air-traffic controllers all contributed to the accident, a finding endorsed by Mr. Tusk's administration.
The daughter of Poland's late president Lech Kaczynski, who died in a plane crash in 2010, Wednesday called for an international investigation into the causes of the crash.
"The extent of irregularities in the probe into the causes of the crash, in Russia and in Poland, is so vast that the need for an international intervention to look into the case is bigger now than it was in December of last year," Marta Kaczynska said at a public hearing at the European Parliament compound.
Nearly two years after the crash, new details keep emerging, revealing flaws in investigations into the accident in both Russia and Poland. President Kaczynski and 95 others aboard his aircraft died when the Polish government plane crashed while trying to land in heavy fog. The bodies of three victims of the crash have recently been exhumed and Polish investigators said they exposed mistakes made during autopsies performed by Russian pathologists. Russian reports came with a descriptions of internal organs of one victim who had had them removed years ago. Another victim, a short man, was given extra centimeters in the Russian documents. Some of the families have called for more exhumations, saying the Russian reports are too inaccurate for Polish authorities to accept.
Poland's relations with Russia are worse now than before the 2010 plane crash that killed Poland's former president and chilled relations between the two countries, Poland's prime minister said Tuesday.
The Polish government's airplane crashed on approach in Smolensk, western Russia, in April 2010 en route to a memorial event for Polish prisoners of war who were killed on orders by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others perished in the crash, which Russia has blamed on Polish pilots. Polish officials have insisted Russian air-traffic controllers carry some of the responsibility.
"Polish-Russian relations are going through ups and downs," Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a press conference Tuesday. "I wouldn't say they are bad today, but for sure they're not as good as before the Smolensk crash. … What sometimes is a heated dispute over the interpretation of events in Smolensk has, of course, had an impact on Polish-Russian relations."
Poland's air-force chief couldn't be heard in cockpit recordings in the minutes leading to the crash of the Polish aircraft that killed the country's president and 95 others in 2010, a study by Polish investigators showed Monday.
The finding contradicted a Moscow-based committee's report, which talked of a drunk general forcing the crew to land in poor visibility.
The Moscow-based Interstate Aviation Committee said last year that Russian-made Tupolev TU-154M aircraft operated by the Polish government crashed on approach in Smolensk, western Russia, in April 2010 after Poland's air force commander, Gen. Andrzej Blasik, pressured the crew to land in thick fog.
President Lech Kaczynski and his delegation, including the general and other top commanders of the military, were killed in the crash as they were headed to a memorial event.
A military prosecutor in Poland shot himself in the head Monday during a break in a press conference, with journalists out of the room and cameras on. He had defended an investigation into leaks from the inquiry into the plane crash that in 2010 killed the country's president.
Mikolaj Przybyl criticized the news media for the leaks, saying they jeopardize the probe into the crash, in which President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others were killed in western Russia nearly two years ago. He then asked reporters to leave the room for five minutes, after which he was supposed to take questions.
With the journalists out, a shot could be heard on a recording from a TV camera left on. The reporters were seen rushing back into the room, grabbing their video equipment, and leaning over Mr. Przybyl's body.
WARSAW — Bankers expect the ruling Civic Platform to win parliamentary elections Sunday, but brace for complicated coalition building should the current coalition fail to win the majority of seats in the lower house of parliament.
The re-election of the governing coalition of the Civic Platform, which leads opinion polls, and the Peasants Party would be neutral for the market, says Societe Generale. The victory of the conservative Law and Justice party, second in opinion polls, would decrease chances for a successful formation of a governing coalition, it says. The zloty, already under pressure as investors flee emerging markets, would likely weaken on any problems with building a new governing team, according to Societe Generale.
Russia destroyed evidence in the aftermath of the airplane crash that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski last year, a group of protesters claimed Friday, showing pictures of Russian officers cutting the plane's wreckage to pieces.
The Polish committee Friday partly blamed Russian controllers for the crash in April 2010, saying misleading commands, as well as poor technical condition of the airport, contributed to the accident.
A volcanic eruption in Iceland threatens to complicate President Barack Obama's visit to Europe, just as a similar one did last year. In April 2010, Mr. Obama missed the funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski because of poor flying conditions caused by the eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull.
Mr. Obama's scheduled trip to Krakow for the funeral last year was supposed to be his first visit to Poland. The country had for years hoped to get the status of a special U.S. ally and signed up for the Bush-era missile shield.
Mr. Obama canceled his predecessor's missile defense plans as he pursued a reset in relations with Moscow, uneasy about the prospect of U.S. soldiers being stationed next to the border of Russia's European exclave of Kaliningrad. Mr. Obama didn't have plans to visit Poland, a contributor of troops in U.S.-led military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, until President Kaczynski died in an airplane crash in western Russia.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Source: AICN
Quentin Tarantino's next project after his hit film 'Inglourious Basterds'? Apparently, it may be an old-school Spaghetti Western.
In a translated version an interview with Italian news site Movie Player, actor Franco Nero reported that they are trying to start production on "The Angel, The Bad and The Wise" outside of Italy soon. According to Nero, the movie could also star Keith Carradine and Treat Williams.
However, AICN picked up the story and turned to their Hollywood "sources" who claim the film may also once again feature 'Basterds' star Christopher Waltz (who played "The Jew Hunter" Col. Hans Lander). Their "sources" also claim that filming is planned for later this year in Spain and Italy and that the title of the film has been poorly translated from the Italian article, so it may be entirely different. At this point, much of this is guesswork and speculation, but what do you think? Is Tarantino the right person to be helming a western?
bummer, i rly want to see a Tarantino musical instead.
I want it...

CNN airs special program on Cohen, Etienne-Cummings research
A film crew from the CNN International television series Earth's Frontiers spent most of a day visiting Professor Avis Cohen (Biology/ISR) and ISR-affiliated Profesor Ralph Etienne-Cummings (Johns Hopkins University) and their labs for a June 24, 2010 show.
The researchers were interviewed about their longstanding collaboration on a biologically inspired computer chip that could help restore leg motion to paraplegics. The chip is modeled on the lamprey spinal cord and contains a silicon analog of spinal circuits. The chip currently is able to control a walking robot. Feedback from the joint angles and foot-falls of the robot are incorporated to train networks of neurons in the spinal cord called central pattern generators to recognize the correct frequency and phase relationship between limbs that is necessary for smooth and natural motions.
View the show on CNN International.

Tess (1979)
A young strong-willed peasant girl, becomes the affection of two men, in the end tragically falling into the arms of one. Or, a poor girl in late 1800s England is used and abused in her search for love, affection and devotion. Based on novel from Thomas Hardy, directed by Roman Polanski, starring Nastassja Kinski as Tess, Peter Firth and Leigh Lawson. Besides the great performances, a wonderful tragic story, I also loved the cinematography of Polanski's adaption. And Kinski never looked more beautiful.
Won 3 Oscars
A rural clergyman in 19th century England tells Durbeyfield, a simple farmer, that he is descended from the illustrious d'Urberville family — now extinct. Or maybe not. Durbeyfield sends his daughter Tess to check on a family named d'Uberville living in a manor house less than a day's carriage ride away. Alec d'Urberville is delighted to meet his beautiful "cousin" and seduces her with strawberries and roses. Actually Alec has gotten his illustrious name and coat of arms by purchasing them. Tess too takes up the game of illusion when she finds, loses and finds again her true love Angel.

DMA worked with the library's building committee and members of the public to design a building unique to the Grosse Pointe Park community. The library's site, the former Ewald Chevrolet Dealership, located adjacent to the City's municipal buildings, offered a design opportunity to create a municipal campus with a Community Building planned for the parcel nearest Jefferson. Clearly visible from Jefferson and other locations, the Library's entry tower announces the Library's presence and provides an icon and place of entry. The building's design inspires a sense of wonder that appeals to the young and the young-at-heart by equally embracing progressive design and romantic tradition.

Ifeanyi Ebigbo: Vote of Confidence
Among the privileges of American citizenship that Nigerian-born Ifeanyi Ebigbo (pronounced Ee-fani Ebee-bo) enjoys is the right to vote. The new president of Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) has made it one of the key missions of his term in office to ensure that his fellow students learn to value and use this right as well, with ASI's voter registration program.
"We want politicians, from the governor to the president of the United States, to start listening to students," says the junior psychology major. "If the 400,000 students in the whole CSU system actually voiced their opinions, there would be great changes throughout California. When you vote, you decide who you want to be in office, and keep them accountable."
ASI's target of 500 newly registered voters has reached approximately 50 students so far. Ebigbo cites the proposed $2.5 million cut to the state's university budget as one good reason for students to become vocal.
"We have to get students more comfortable about voting and voicing their opinions," he says. "Our intention is to register more people to vote, so that politicians realize, 'We need to start looking into the universities. What are the issues they are having? Do they need more money? More services?' If we voted, they wouldn't cut the budgets so much, because they would know that in the next election, students will vote for the candidate who pushes our agenda and the way we want things to happen.
"Students often feel that even if they vote, their concerns are not going to be heard," he says. "If you vote, and encourage your family and friends to vote, you have a better chance of having the person you want in office to win. It's the idea of getting people together to be one voice."
Another measure that Ebigbo hopes will unite the campus is the Adopt-a-Freshman Program that he and senior Don Manning (Business Administration/Human Resources and Management) established when they served last semester respectively as lower division and upper division representatives for ASI.
"As an organization and corporation that is here to voice student concerns, we have to take action toward student retention," he says. "As mentors, students would make sure that incoming freshmen know where all the academic offices are, they would tutor them if they needed assistance, and refer them to professionals if they needed special attention, such as psychological help. Mentors let them know what the campus is all about, and be that brother-to-brother system that they need, especially that first year, when many students get confused, feel lost, and eventually drop out."
Ebigbo cites the genius behind the Adopt-a-Freshman program in the fact that students would be more likely to respond to guidance from a student like themselves. At press time, ASI is seeking a program coordinator, and has received several applications for the roles of both mentors and mentees.
"We have a lot of students interested," he says. "They're energized about it, and we're going to do a good job this year with making sure the students of CSUDH are retained successfully."
Ebigbo's long term goals include a law career, beginning with the law enforcement perspective. A former Los Angeles Police Department Explorer (a high school training program), he hopes to work for the Secret Service or the FBI after completing law school and opening his own practice. He describes his position on ASI as a training ground for the business world.
"I made it my job to learn the way a corporation works and to understand that better," he notes. "ASI has helped me to see the issues we have on campus, and to find the solutions to solve those issues. Everyday there is something new to learn from working out a new program on the computer, reading through contracts, or writing policies that will affect the campus."
In the meantime, he hopes to make his term as ASI president one to remember.
"I want to be remembered as an ASI president who did his best to listen to the concerns of the students he was serving, and as a student who did the hard work involved and gained a lot of skills from his position," he says. "There's a big difference between just listening to the issues, and to actually finding the solutions for those issues. I want to be remembered as someone who took the time to listen to what is going on, and to find those solutions."

I never get sick of driving out to the Headlands Center in large part because I love being walloped with the natural beauty of its surrounding environs, and there was no better venue Thursday night to hear contemporary artists Jeremy Morgan, Mariele Neudecker, and Ned Kahn speak about the influence of landscape on their work. Morgan is a painter who creates large-scale canvases that evoke geological phenomena without being explicitly representational, and it was a revelation to hear he himself had been strongly influenced by classical Asian landscape painting as Morgan's work invites contemplation in a very similar way. He also confessed his perfect studio would be a cave with no natural light, a fact that Mariele Neudecker laughed she was horrified to learn.
Neudecker is currently in residence at the Headlands and had completely knocked me on my butt during summer open house with her life-size rubbings of Nike missiles from the nearby missile site, and she showed slides of those pieces as well as her earlier work including the tanks pictured here. One of her foremost interests is perspective, and she uses sculpture, photography, and film to cleverly distort reality for the viewer, often using landscape as a starting point. She's on the shortlist to be the next artist to present work on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, and I'm crossing my fingers that her piece is picked.
Last but definitely not least Ned Kahn spoke about his environmental sculptures, some of which I have been interacting with since I first visited the Exploratorium as a wee lass. He showed clips of buildings covered with a grids of lightweight aluminum shapes that ripple when the wind blows, a glass globe that forms its own weather patterns inside when you spin it, giant vortices of fog and mist. Kahn clearly remains inspired by the natural world, and I also appreciate the nifty feats of engineering he employs to create his installations. And even though he utilizes very different materials than Morgan and Neudecker, all three artists generate in their work exactly the sort of transcendent moments that a sublime landscape itself does.

Top grade heist
By a customer , 10 Feb 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Cash is an excellent heist movie, with more surprise twists than I could count, right ujp to the last reel. It's not too violent, it has quite a lot of comedy, and Jean Reno as the smoothie villain is incomparable as usual.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Coconut (7 reviews) , 28 Feb 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a likeable movie in the vein of the BBC's Hustle series. There are lots of false trails and twists and the end is clever (I didn't guess it until a few moments beforehand). Beware of the misleading scene setting subtitle about 15 minutes in (as mentioned in other reviews). I liked the acting and have to say I didn't notice the 60's style music. All said an enjoyable 1. 40. Recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not 4 me!
By Reel2Reel (9 reviews) , 31 Jan 2013Very 'hammy' & I agree with the reviewer who commented on the irritating music - very 60s!

Twists & turns but little else
By Geofbob (50 reviews) , 24 Dec 2012The plot's hard to follow, partly because of the wrong subtitle mentioned in another review, but by the time I'd worked out that '6 months earlier' should have read '6 months later', I'd completely lost interest.

Inaccurate subtitles
By Iggi_1 (143 reviews) , 10 Nov 2012The Sting meets Oceans Eleven in a corny French way.
Music is a tad irritating in parts, seems to belong in the era of the Italian Job. Plot is full of twists and turns, and after a slow start the film moves along in a quietly entertaining way.
However, the subtitles are hard to read, smallish font, white text, in a film where much is shot against bright backgrounds.
Worse still, the translation must have been done buy someone whose French is fairly inadequate, phrases are mistranslated, in particular a scene setting quote near the beginning reads in English, '6 Months Earlier' rather than the 6 Months Later it should say. Overall, a lighthearted film, moderately entertaining, but, difficult to recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?

Virginia is experiencing population aging because of an increasing life expectancy. The number of Virginians aged 65 and older is estimated to be more than double from approximately 0.9 million today to about 1.8 million by the year 2030 (Virginia Department for the Aging, 2009).
Making cities age-friendly is one of the most effective policy approaches for responding to demographic aging (World Health Organization). Accessible and affordable transportation is one of essential feature to build a "Community for All Ages." Mobility is critical for older adults to access social resources such as health care and to participate in community activities such as volunteering.
Virginia state institutions and higher education research institutes have initiated programs, services, and research projects to promote mobility among older adults. This Aging-Mobility Network has been launched to facilitate collaborations and alliances among institutions.

Rock is a dying breed of music — and that's a shame, to be sure — but there is a band that I recently came across that gives me hope that rock, as an art, is NOT dead. Ladies & gentlemen, meet The Royal Concept!

As he's a single vegetarian with no children, he needed to go with something that made the best use of whatever little space was available. So, for a reasonable sum of $800 per month (you can't pay those prices ANYWHERE in the greater New York area), he found this 78-SQUARE-FOOT apartment. (Quite economic, considering that there's a palatial 90-square-foot apartment for about $1000/month.) According to Neatorama, Tyler has every luxury: "a Murphy bed (that he made himself), a couch, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a closet." He shares a … Continue reading
VIDEO: When Farting Goes Wrong
Jack Vale has made a "living" off of fake-farting in people's faces and/or talking in "Tiger Blood" talk. (Hey, a check's a check — I can't knock a man's hustle, especially in this economy…even if that man's hustle involves being a less-funny Dane Cook…as if Dane Cook could get any more lame & unfunny…) Usually, he takes his Bronx cheers to the aisles of Target (I can only hope that Target cuts him a check for all the free publicity…)…but he might want to reconsider his grind after this incident. In this video, Vale "farts" in the face of a woman in a moto-scooter. Her husband, right behind her in … Continue reading
Hoodrat Commandment #1: Never Let a Baby Get in the Way of a Good Brawl
In today's episode of The Subway Chronicles, let's take a look at what happened on the L train yesterday. (FYI: The L train runs through Brooklyn, specifically, the Williamsburg area.) According to what a witness told Animal New York, this was a multi-platform, multi-stop, all-out Mortal Combat style fight…over a seat. Really, ladies? A SEAT?! Wigs go flying & THE BABY STROLLER ROLLS OFF THE TRAIN FOR A SEAT?! Other people — strangers, I might add — are taking care of your child while you go swinging FOR A SEAT?! And the best part of all: the cops never showed up (there are way too many Dunkin' Donuts shops in … Continue reading
Only in NY, Kids…Only in NY…
I just LOVE my city! So check out what happened on the Subway the other day — two women started fighting for a seat. And they went HAM — hair pulling, screaming, wigs & weaves flying, the whole Jerry Springer bit — until two Good Samaritans separated them. And then…when the fight was over…they just sat next to each other as if nothing happened. Like they were just discussing the weather or something. CAN YOU STAND IT?! Only in NY, kids…only in NY. God bless whoever caught this on their cell phone camera. Peep the hilarity below. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

A sell-out crowd of 300 came together at the Ukrainian Hall on May 3 for the Cornerstone Foundation's Applause Party. It was a joyful celebration of two accomplishments: the completion of the new building at 314 Booth Street and the success of the Journey of Hope campaign. Many guests donned their finest construction clothes; hard hats were very evident as well as paint clothes and overalls in keeping with the theme, Hard Hats and Helping Hands.
Guests first enjoyed a reception and conversation with friends and colleagues. A silent auction of six pieces of art donated by Gerald Kerr, Rev. Mavis Brownlee and Jennifer Dale Judd prompted brisk bidding and by the end of the evening had raised in excess of $1300. Tickets for twenty Mystery gifts, donated by local businesses sold for $20 each. During the reception, entertainment was provided by the a capella junkies, a quartette of the Capital Chordettes.
Dinner with a quasi-construction site menu was catered by The Foodery. The appetizer was served in Chinese food boxes and much of the main course on planks. In tables of ten, guests had very animated conversations with their friends. There was a real buzz in the room, an indication that people were having a good time. Entertainment during dinner was offered by Tim Piper and Friends.
The program was chaired by Rev. Mark Whittall. Speakers included Bishop John Chapman; Catherine Chapman, Chair of the Applause Party committee; Peggy Lister, Chair of the Cornerstone Foundation Board of Directors, and Carol Burrows, Chair of the Capital Campaign.
It was Carol's pleasure to announce the status of the campaign goal. To a drum roll, she held up a sign and repeated the number: as of May 3, the campaign goal had been surpassed at $2,360,218. The announcement brought joyous applause.
We are grateful to the many sponsors and donors who contributed so generously to the Party, enabling the Committee to fulfill its commitment to transfer over $30,000 to the campaign.
The Morley Hoppner table
The Mayor joins the party
Twenty guests assembled for the first Rooftop Tea on the balcony at the Somerset West Community Health Centre on Thursday, July 29. These donors came to see first hand the progress on the building. It was an ideal location for them to hear Carl Lepage, Site Supervisor from the Morley Hoppner Group (building contractors) to explain the construction process from preparing the site for the demolition of the former Loeb store to the third floor of the new building. He answered a number of questions, indicating the interest that donors had in hearing about where their gifts are being spent. Thanks to the SWCHC who were our very generous hosts.
The guests listen intently to Carl Lepage (on the right in the black shirt and trousers) describe the construction details.

A. Assist private sector employers and employees on allegations of employment discriminations through discussions of infractions. B. Assist employers to know their legal responsibilities at the workplace to reduce or avoid any form of discrimination. Executive Order Number 83-010 established the Fair Employment Practice Division within the Guam Department of Labor on April 1, 1983.

When an employment Discrimination Complaint is received by FEPA, it is logged into the EEOC system. Next, the FEPA staff conducts and documents an Intake Interview with the Charging Party and prepares a Charge Assessment on the complaint. After a summary of the Charge of Discrimination is formalized, the employer is notified that the charge has been filed and is provided with the name and contact information of the investigator assigned to the case. The employer is asked to submit a Statement of Position, which is an opportunity for the employer to tell their side of the story. During the investigation, the employer and the Charging Party will be asked to provide information, as needed. The investigator will evaluate the information submitted to determine whether unlawful discrimination has taken place. The employer may be asked to:
Once the investigator has completed the investigation, FEPA will discuss the evidence with the Charging Party or employer, as appropriate. FEPA will make a determination on the merits of the charge, as follows:

Participation in the Mediation Program is free, quick, voluntary, and confidential. It requires consent from both Charging Party and employer. If Mediation is successful, there is no investigation. If Mediation is unsuccessful, the charge is referred for investigation.] --------------- Guam Department of Labor Telephone: (671) 475-7083/75 Scholastica "Sally" Rivera Terencio "Terence" Mejos |

Plano® Line Spooling Box
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
The Plano Line Spooling Box holds five 1000-yard spools of line up to 1.875" wide. Dimensions: 10-5/8" x 7" x 6-1/8". Color: Clear. Manufacturer model #: 1085-00.
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 10
Rated 5 out of 5 by AJHauser Must-Have-Item
This is a must-have item for anyone who has several spools of line sitting around. Whether you plan to simply store them, or organize them, or take them traveling with you - this container will come in handy.
Plus, on top of being useful for storage and travel - you can use it to quickly re-spool, WITHOUT having to hold a spool on a pencil between your toes.
Seriously - haven't we all done this?

Rated 5 out of 5 by sssienkiewicz A handy little organizer
I got this for a gift for my son who is a taxidermist. He uses different types of fishing line for sewing animal furs, etc. This dandy little organizer sure came in handy for him as it would anyone who uses fishing line for fishing, crafts etc. The line is available at your fingertips and you have all your different strength tests stengths for your particular purpose. I would definately recommend this to anyone looking to tidy up their storage of fishing line.

Nice idea but not useful. The spools flop all over the place since there are no divider flang between spools.

Rated 4 out of 5 by azbassman Line organization made easy
I got this handy little spool organizer with a Plano tackle bag for Christmas and it is nice to have somewhere to put all of my spools of line now. Makes it easy having the little holes so you wouldn't even have to open it up and take the spool out if you needed line. It will fit a standard spool. I have a spool of Parallelium (don't know if BP sells this anymore) that wouldn't fit because it was too wide, but all my other XPS Flourocarbon and other did.

This bow is a pretty good for the price. I love the convenience of a Takedown Recurve. The bow has a nice looking riser but the finish leaves something to be desired. My bow came with a lacquer run on the back of the riser. It shoots were you aim it. I have been shooting carbon arrows off of it with no problems.

Samick 60

Comments about Samick 60" Deer Master Takedown Recurve:
This is a very good looking bow. It assembled easily & with tight tolerances re the limbs. It shot exceptionally well w cedar arrows. I installed a fast flight string due to preference.I have bow hunted & target shot for 34 years mostly w compounds. This "entry level" recurve was a trial for me to determine if I wanted to buy a much more expensive custom made bow. I shot it everyday (& took it hunting)but after 3 weeks I noticed a hairline crack in my riser. I'm not certain how durable this bow is or if mine was poorly constructed. I unstrung it 2x over this time.I am contacting 3RAE today & will see how they handle this issue. Really liked the bow until the crack appeared & was confident I would kill deer with it inside of 20 yds.

About Me Competitive Archer
I liked this bow not as much as my Samick Squall but it shoots very well too, the riser it's a little uncomfortable and needs some adjusting to the arrow shelf, but it is a nice bow for beginners.

Love it!
By Chris
from New Concord, Ohio
Received this bow a few weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. After setting it up and putting some muskrat fur silencers on I was pleasantly surprised how quiet this bow is was. I have no complaints about this bow and would recommend it to any traditional bow user.

A good bow at a great price
By Grizhunter
from Palmer, Alaska
Finally a bow at a reasonable price. No fancy finishes but it was constructed well. The limbs fit tight and the string tracked well. The draw was smooth without stacking and there was no hand shock. The limb finish is a bit dull that that necessarily isn't a bad thing. The shelf could have used a rug. ( I bought one for $1.50 ) so that also isn't a big problem. The bow is forgiving and shoots where you point it. I think it was a great buy for the price, especially for a new shooter or for a backup bow.

I freyd up a string putting on a car whisker but I wanted a new string anyway. I have a decent size backyard, about 10 or so feet up so I shot downhill to targets sometimes. Very fun bow. Easy to use, sturdy, limbs worry me a little bit.. but Havent heard anything scary or felt anything bad. #50
Exceptional Value
By Pete
from Cape Cod, Massachusetts
I bought the 40-lb version, primarily for target practice and informal competition. I'm impressed by the fine workmanship, smoothness, accuracy, and power of the Deer Master. It's a great value and lots of fun to shoot. I'm able to hit tighter groups than before, and I very much like the feel and grip. Some reviews fault the craftmanship and finish of the bow, and I have to disagree. It's non-gloss finish is exceptionally smooth and handsome. I'm very pleased with this bow in all respects.
For returning archer, great starter bow
By mobtek
from Canberra, Australia
About Me Beginner
I'm returning to archery after a hiatus of 20+ years, for someone getting back into archery this is a great low-cost starter bow.The 55# model with a fast flight string gets some great penetration. Being only 60" this will be handy when out in the bush hunting, the fps (the 50# model averages about 182fps IIRC) is more than adequate for hunting.The finish is absolutely fine but the best part is the grip, it was perfect for my hand, very comfortable. The light and dark contrast with the maple and walnut is handsomely striking in a simple way and the black glass on the front of the limbs looks good. Extra limbs from another Samick supplier don't have this.I didn't want a bow with mount points for quivers or stabilisers (I prefer a back quiver), this good looking, no frills, no hand shock, comfortable and powerful, great value for money
Service and delivery comments:
Nicely packed, all in perfect order.
Awesome Bow
By Adam-a-Dale
from New York
I have a lot of friends that do a lot of shooting. I wanted to get in on that, so I got this bow hoping it would be in the gap between expensive and overkill and cheap and dinky. It did. I unwraped the bow and loved it immediately. It shot great and the take-down feture is awesome. I intend to hunt with it as soon as I get my license.
Overall great bow!
By Walker
from Williston,ND
I have heard alot of diffrent things about this bow. Yes this bows limbs are a little crooked. But this does not affect the shooting in any way shape or form. I orderd it for just a fun bow to kill small game with. But as of right now I love it! Its accurate and fast. It does have some vibration to it. Its quiet out of the box. Its a great overall bow for the buck!
Great delivery! I had standard shipping and got it in 3 days!

10 November 2005 Secretary-General Kofi Annan will go to Amman, Jordan, tomorrow to confer with King Abdullah II and United Nations staff following the terrorist suicide bombings on three hotels there that killed scores of people and injured more than 100 others.
Mr. Annan, who is at present on a Middle East tour, was scheduled to visit the Jordanian capital today, but the trip was postponed following last night's attacks because he felt that it would be an added burden to the Jordanian authorities.
When he called the King from Saudi Arabia today to express his condolences, "it was made clear that the Secretary-General's visit would be appreciated by the King and the people of Jordan," spokesperson Marie Okabe told the press in New York.
"So the Secretary-General will be travelling to Jordan tomorrow to express his support and pay his respects and to meet with the UN staff there," she added.
The Security Council today called on all states to help bring the perpetrators behind the attacks to justice and reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism in accordance with its responsibilities under the UN Charter.
"The Security Council reaffirms that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," the 15-member body said in a Presidential Statement.
"The Security Council condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist bombings that took place in Amman, Jordan on 9 November 2005, which fell victim to a yet another heinous act of terrorism," it added in a statement read out at the session by Ambassador Andrey Denisov of Russia, which holds the rotating Council presidency for November.
The Council underlined "the need to bring the perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these intolerable acts to justice," and urged all States to cooperate with and provide support and assistance, as appropriate, to the Government of Jordan.
"The Security Council further reaffirms the need to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts," the statement added.
The President of the General Assembly, Jan Eliasson of Sweden, opened today's proceedings with by paying tribute to "all those affected by the abhorrent terrorist attacks.
"Theses attacks are a further stark reminder of the importance and urgency of the work we are doing to adopt a Comprehensive Convention on Terrorism," he added.
In a statement Wednesday night, Mr. Annan also reiterated his longstanding call for the adoption of a comprehensive international treaty to fight the scourge of terrorism.
