Spohn Performance 105, Spohn Panhard Bar - Tubular Adjustable with Del-Sphere Pivot Joints - 1982-02 Firebird V8 / V6. Replace the factorys weak, stamped steel, flexible panhard bar with one of our heavy duty set-ups! Allows for centering the rearend after lowering. The best component for serious handling performance. Allows alignment of the rear for clearance when running larger tires. Greatly increases rears lateral stability. The panhard bar bushings on F-Body vehicles have a significant impact on your vehicles ride, comfort, handling, acceleration, noise and vibration. When the vehicle leans (rolls) in a turn, one side of the chassis moves up relative to the rear axle and the other side moves down. The panhard bar must twist to allow for the axle to articulate, this causes the panhard bar bushings to bind. If this bind becomes excessive, it will raise the rear wheel rate and produce sudden and uncontrolled changes in handling such as snap oversteer. It is common to replace the stock rubber panhard bar bushings with polyurethane bushings to resolve the shortcomings of the factorys soft rubber bushings. The downside of polyurethane bushings is they prevent the necessary movement of the panhard bar during body roll, which in turn produces significant binding in the suspension when the vehicle is cornering. The polyurethane bushings also place high stresses on the panhard bar mounts on the vehicle. Polyurethane bushed panhard bars do not allow for rotation of the panhard bar during cornering because of the stiffness of the bushings. Del-Sphere Pivot Joints: The Spohn Performance Del-Sphere pivot joint solves the shortcomings of the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint incorporates a spherical ball which is surrounded by delrin bushing cups. This combination allows the panhard bar to articulate like a spherical rod end (28 degrees of available rotation) during cornering but the spherical ball does not allow the bushing to deflect. Therefore the panhard bar remains completely bind free like a spherical rod end during cornering for predictable traction in the corners. Build Specifications:
Fits Camaro and Firebird Models.

Horrible product!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent
Best Uses
Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Thomas & Friends Trackmaster Castle Quest Set:
I was shocked when I saw all of the positive reviews for this product. First off, the instructions are horrible. We had to watch a YouTube video to understand how it works so we could build it by trial and error. Second, the parts do not fit together well and it alas apart very easily. The tracks don't lay flat and everything is very flimsy. Finally, the train falls off the track constantly. My son it 3 and we have to play with him since we have to constantly fix it. We love the wooden Thomas the train which promotes creativity and independent play, not to mention the exceptional quality. This set doesn't deserve to be associated with the Thomas the train brand.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Stay at Home Parent
My son has been asking for castle Quest Track master since the movie came out. We gave in and bought it. He's been playing non stop for 2 days. No complaints ! It's sturdy, fun and easy to run. Both my 3 & 5 yr old are playing with it.
Really fun train set!!
By JoyfulMom7
from Torrance, CA
This is my 5-year-old son's first train set! He absolutely loves it! I really enjoy it also! I love the fact that I can put on the extra track piece so you don't always have to be turning the crane back to catch the train. I bought an additional train so that the 2 trains can chase each other around on the track and we can guess which train will get the crown, it doesn't always come out on the first go-round! The only thing I don't like about it is the track connections pop up too easily, and it's frustrating for my son to fix. It mainly only happens where the trestles are,(near the "collapsing mine") they tend to move and the track falls apart when they're out of place.
Best train ever
By cborgescorreia

My son really likes this set. My older daugher who is 4 years old also loved the present her brother got for his second birthday. It is easy to assemble, and keeps children focused in the action.

Neat Concept, Needs to be More Durable
By ErinG24
from El Segundo, CA
My 3 year old daughters really enjoy the concept of this set. They like how detailed it is and all the fun features. I like that they can use the other Trackmaster trains and tracks with it. I found it time consuming to assemble, particularly because some pieces were not labeled or listed in the instructions. Step one in the instructions really didn't give you a context of the piece you were starting with, so I had to guess through process of elimination. I am also disappointed with the durability or quality of the parts. The trains derail often and I have to click pieces back into place quite a bit. The swinging track also works very well in the first position, but is hit or miss in the second position. The yellow sign that triggers the track to swing over also comes off very easily. So, bottom line, it's a really cool concept, but the parts need a little tweaking.
He Loved It
By mekamouse
from Hawthorne, CA
My son loves Thomas and has for a while. The set was pretty easy to assemble and kept my son playing for longer than I actually expected. He has tons of trains and had them all over this track. It was plenty of track space but not too big to overwhelm his room. He loved it!!
Fun and Entertaining
By Mom1
Overall, the product entertained my 4 year old son, however I think the durability of the tracks could be better made. The train didn't automatically run and I'm not sure the reason behind that, I turned it on and off and even opened the inside of the train. However, my son didn't seem to mind that much and it entertained him for quite awhile. The product is good, but could use some improvement with the structure.

Great, exciting fun!!
By Brman70
from Long Beach,CA
My 7year old has been a fan of Thomas the train since he was about 3 and has never lost his love of this wonderful toy line. This track master set has the same great quality you would expect and does not disappoint! He loves how the track looks disconnected but then fixes itself and keeps on going...andthen ( this got even me thinking " whats going to happen to the train!?) and then boom it goes thru the mountain...genius ! He's been playing with it since we've opened the box! Good job Fisher Price !

Newton girls cruise to 47-37 victory over Pella
The Newton girls basketball team cruised to victory last night against Pella High despite trailing 4-12 early and 18-23 at half. The team snapped a three game losing streak by charging back in the second half. The comeback was facilitated mostly by their improved effort on the defensive end after halftime.
Coach Brandon Sharp emphasized one key point at halftime. "On offense we just have to control what we can control and not try to do too much." Sharp added, "It's all about making good decisions, and although we had 23 turnovers I feel we did a decent job of that tonight." Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his team's offensive showing
They turned turnovers and missed shots into points by pushing the ball up the floor and making quick, good decisions on the break. Most of the credit for the latter should go to Kaylie Rhoads, who shredded the Pella defense in the second half by getting herself and her teammates solid looks to score inside in transition.

Have you heard of the iPhone app Hisptagram Disposable? Basically it's a camera on your phone that takes pictures with filters...the only difference is you don't get to see what "develops" until you take a whole roll of film! So, you take 24 pictures with your iPhone and they "develop" showing you how the filters came out on your pictures. Bonus: You can "share" the disposable camera with others using the app... so you and your friends can take pictures on the same "disposable" camera!
Jen & I did this over the weekend. It was fun to see what pictures came out. It was also a way for me to stalk her over the weekend. She went to the movies, out to dinner, driving around town, I got to see all of that... lol.
Get ready for some really random photos.
Current mood of my office! POSTAL! ARGH!
My cute cupcake calendar on my desk at work! An ETSY purchase of course.
Jen took this driving... the sky was pretty!
Jen's man. This hat is hilarious. Wolf? Skunk?
Hello, delicious.
Same scene, I took this on two different "disposable cameras" we had going.
This was a place we went to dinner. On the water as the sun was setting.
Pretty, no?
So... if you have this app... we should become Facebook friends so you can invite me to take silly random photos on your camera!

A Painter's Legacy
None of us is going to live forever. Sooner or later we become too old to paint. Eventually we die. Depressing isn't it? What we leave behind as artists is our legacy. And if we are strong enough as artists, we may even leave behind a living legacy--followers so impressed and enamoured with our work they pursue the path their mentors might have taken had we lived. Artists such as Leonardo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Rubens, and others have been so honoured in that their styles have lived on after them. Some, such as Rembrandt and Rubens, practically guaranteed this by nurturing, during their lifetimes, a large school or workshop of apprentices who were deftly trained to emulate the master in all things artistic. Others, such as Leonardo and Caravaggio had followers based solely upon their own stature as artists and the power of the images they painted while alive. Yet another artist of similar stature, totally without intending to, left behind a similar living legacy as a painter even though he considered himself primarily a sculptor, designer, and architect. His name is practically synonymous with art--Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The man lived to be 89 years old. If not immortal, he at least seemed that way to those around him, having outlived practically all his friends and most of his enemies at the time. During his lifetime, he worked for no less than
different popes. And being Michelangelo, he was notorious for having several projects going at once. It would seem he considered his death highly unlikely. Although he left perhaps a half-dozen unfinished sculptures, it was his unfinished painting projects that seem to have inspired later artists. Perhaps sixteenth century sculptors were too overwhelmed by his work, (or too inept) to attempt to copy or pursue his sculpting style. But even during his lifetime, artists as well-known as Raphael, and unknown as Marchello Venusti were already copying his painting style. Its possible, inasmuch as Michelangelo preferred sculpture to painting, they simply filled the void he left in his wake.
Two unfinished paintings are interesting to inspect. One, known as the
Manchester Madonna,
is quite early, begun when Michelangelo was about 20 years old. In it, Christ (as a young child) indicates a passage in a book held by his mother involving his future sacrifice. The right side of the painting (the angels) is largely finished as are the central figures of Christ and his mother (except for her hair). The figures on the left are barely roughed in. A second unfinished painting is entitled
The Entombment
and was begun around 1501. It is unique in that it is probably the only totally nude depiction of Christ in existence. Christ appears amongst four female figures supported by a man presumed to be Joseph of Aramithea. All six of the main figures are largely complete though a foreground space is bare indicating a seventh figure was planned. After 1530 a number of unknown or little-known artists did paintings based upon Michelangelo's drawings. Subjects were as varied as
Leda and the Swan,
Holy Family,
The Purification of the Temple,
which is said to have influenced El Greco's
Christ Driving the Traders from the Temple
painted in 1600, just 36 years after Michelangelo's death. It seems ironic that Michelangelo's meagre legacy of painting had many more followers than did that of his sculpture.

We are having a baby girl in November but have yet to decided on a first name. We're pretty sure the middle name will be Violet. Until now, the closest we've come to an agreement on a name was Sibyl Violet but I think that ship has sailed...
I love the name Djuna ("the D is silent") but my spouse is concerned that is sounds too "bohemian" for our taste. Our other two children have more conventional or popular names - Asher and Hazel.
Any thoughts or advice regarding this name, e.g. what immediately comes to mind, do you consider it feminine, etc. Also, if you have any words of encouragement/discouragement as to the name Sibyl, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!
August 20th, 2013 04:38 PM #3I like distinct, memorable, exotic and preferably non-popular names. The kids with unique names wore them so well when I was younger and never got lost in the crowd.

Warehouse 242, a church in Charlotte, NC is currently doing a series entitled "The Great Recovery" covering topics such as finances, sexuality, commitment, time, family, and service.
I listened to the first message in the series this morning. Apparently "The Cave" by Mumford & Sons was used in the worship set as Pastor Bruce made reference to it and used the following excerpt, Benjamin Jowett's translation of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," as an illustration for this series:
"Behold!" Human beings living in an underground cave, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the cave; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets."
The excerpt demonstrates the skewed perception of the human beings mentioned within the cave, and how he/she has been bound to illusions since infancy. Those who have been imprisoned know nothing of reality other than what they see reflected in front of them.
We all live with a vague sense that certain areas of our life is amiss. Christianity is the story of the recovery of the human soul back to the fulness of what it was supposed to be, where the vague sense becomes a concrete reality. Reality simply defined, means a 'return to normal'. This is what Jesus offers.
The closing prayer is that God would show us the places where we are in the cave. And show us the places in our life where we need to turn around and see what recovery looks like.
If you're interested in listening to the first message in this series, you can find it here.

We went to isla Mujeres again in March. I wanted to clue in the Holly Eats fans on one of my favorite places that has moved.
This is a place frequented almost exclusively by locals, I'm almost always the only gringo anywhere near it. As Holly reported a few years back, it was located in the parking lot just south of the ferry landing. There is now some construction going on there. Los Almendros has moved to the sidewalk on the beach on Medina just north of where the last beachside restaurant is, now north of the ferry dock about a quarter mile.
Don't have to wait until Sunday to get their conchinita pibil on a torta or a taco. A torta ordered picante, with their hot salsa, to me is my favorite bargain food ever. Great fresh bread, succulent pork (he usually tries to give you some soft insides and some crunchy outside/skin for texture) and spicy salsa for 20 pesos, about $1.70 right now. I think I'll have two. FYI, they are closed on Monday.
I'd also like to put in a plug for the Poc Chuc restaurant at the corner of Juarez and Abasolo in el Centro (different from the one at the Mercado on Guerrero). We've eaten there several times and never had anything bad. Their conchinita on Sunday is fantastic. They have a snack type thing called a picada (I think) that to me is essential Mexican food. It's a masa dough pressed into a small round disk thicker than a tortilla. They grill it on a flat top and put beans, onions and cilantro on it. So simple, so freakin' good. The texture of the dough makes the dish. They also do a mean chicken mole.

The dish you describe sounds like a sope to me, or a variation. One of my favorite foods Mexican.
Thanks for the update.

You're amazing. This is as good a writing as we get on this forum. Keep doing what you do.
NP Rank:
Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) is one lucky man, but America needs more than luck.
As governor of Texas, Gov. Perry has benefited from a booming economy based on trade traffic and oil. The price of oil wavered steadily around $20 a barrel, give or take a few dollars, after skyrocketing in the early 1980s. However, beginning in 2003 the price of oil began to rise exponentially and with varied fluctuation, including a drop in price after the stock market crash in 2008. Oil rested at $87 per barrel in 2011. During this same timeframe Louisiana's misfortune in being hit by two hurricanes turned into quite a stroke of luck for Texas and Gov. Perry.
Now what do the price of oil and a hurricane in Louisiana have to do with the state of affairs in Texas? Well, while cattle and cotton may have once been king, Texas, as we now know it, was shaped by the discovery of oil in the early 20th century. The gushers of black gold that soared to the sky became a beacon, attracting business and inhabitants. Land parcels were sold at unprecedented values. Cities grew and prospered. When Hurricane Katrina decimated the dulled gem that is New Orleans, La., the port previously found there shifted west, a little over 300 miles west down to Houston, to be more specific. Texas, the center of the American oil business, was now also home of the largest port in the South and one of the largest ports in the country.
Tragedy and international conflict have been a boon to Gov. Perry. The cash flow from a whole myriad of industries kept the economy of Texas afloat. As a state, Texas has not felt anywhere near the brunt force of the burden caused by the economy entering a tail-spin in the last half of 2008 as many other states have. Like it or not, being able to pay the bills placates the population. Are there citizens who are angry, frustrated, or upset with the current life conditions? Yes—on both sides of the political spectrum, or maybe I should say both ends, there is a palpable level of dissatisfaction. Yet, at the end of the day, Texas could be much worse off economically.
Sadly, Gov. Perry's luck with the economy doesn't seem to hold as true for other aspects of state affairs and governance. Like many other Republican politicians Gov. Perry joined the bandwagon and came out of the telephone booth a man seeking the approval of the Religious Right. Sadly, this hasn't gone so well for the state he dragged along with him. Gov. Perry and his party have had rampant control of the state Legislature. Thereby, much of what has resulted from the biennial legislative sessions has met the approval of the GOP, or at least been something they could turn a blind eye to.
The public school system is appalling, and has only gotten worse under Gov. Perry's watch. Those appointed to the State Board of Education sought to perpetuate ideology and not knowledge. The attempts to eliminate crucial segments or persons from the history curriculum so as to minimize secularism and "leftist" ideals and ideologues were met with public outrage. The criticism coming from historians, educators, and the students themselves fell on deaf or uncaring ears. The legislation stands for now. Our Deist Founding Fathers are to be presented as Christians; Thomas Jefferson barely exists; our worst moments—such as internment camps—are to be presented in a better light; and further misrepresentations are evidenced that may easily be perceived to distort history into the worldview of social conservatives.
Now, again you my say "who cares what they do in Texas?" My answer is quite simple—you should, especially if you are a parent of young children. Texas has a large market for textbooks. The curriculum adopted by the state holds a vast amount of sway over the editors and publishers of those textbooks. Other states will have less cost-efficient methods of teaching their own curriculum. The choices are use Texas's textbooks, California's textbooks, or your own. Oh, the changes adopted by the Texas State Board of Education are in place for the next ten years.
It should be noted that the board saw a new chair appointed in the aftermath of public protest. Yet, that did not deter far-right members for pushing for Creationism to be taught in schools and strictly adhering to abstinence-only health education. However, recent board activity included provision to strengthen the teaching of evolution.
Gov. Perry recently streamlined and saw signed into law a bill requiring women to view a sonogram, hear a report of what they are being shown and listen to their fetus's heartbeat at least 24 hours prior to undergoing an abortion. There are so many things that went wrong with the 2011 Texas Legislative session, but this has been among the more grating outcomes. If Gov. Perry deigns to take credit for the economy, it only follows that he should take the credit for an embarrassing legislative session as well.
Speaking of embarrassing, I can honestly say I am not sure what was worse—Gov. Perry's inability to perform well in debates or his campaign videos, which drew the ire of YouTube viewers everywhere. As a Texan who is proud to be a Texan, I sat through every cringe-worthy moment and occurrence on the verge of screaming in frustration. He misrepresented our state and what we stand for—be it the political left or the political right. I'm sure many sighs of relief were let out when Gov. Perry suspended his bid on Jan. 19.
We Texans don't pride ourselves on luck. We pride ourselves on our individualism—it is our heat and soul. We pride ourselves on hard work and on the great achievements, innovations and people that have come out of this state.
Gov. Perry's luck has run out—both on the state and national level. America doesn't need luck. America doesn't want luck. We need character; we need innovation; we need bravery; and we will have it. As we whittle down a long list of presidential hopefuls, those qualities will continue to matter more and more.

Social Enterprise Today
Social Enterprise has reached the consciousness of most of us in the third sector now. It raises a variety of emotions from:
... a passionate belief in its role in using capitalist methodologies to set up an alternative economic system; to
... concern that it is a cynical manipulation of the public and third sector to privatise public services "through the back door"
The reality is that whilst most of us have heard of it, there is confusion about what it is. Social Enterprise has been around a long time. There are many websites and other sources of information that will give you a history. There's more information on the FAQ page of this section. However, at Community Action Hampshire we are concerned about the future. We are working out how the third sector, including ourselves, can use social enterprise to deliver our social missions more effectively. For us, social enterprise is socially motivated trading; ie. 'enterprise' for a 'social' purpose.
This needs emphasising. There is considerable pressure on organisations to consider trading as a part of their funding mix. For MOST it will NOT be appropriate. That's a bold statement but it's a fact that most organisations in the Community and Voluntary Sector (VCS) do not have the experience, skills, knowledge and/or motivation to do it. Let's face it, many of us didn't enter this sector to run or be involved in running a business. And that is exactly what social enterprise is. It's 'business' albeit for motivations that we do understand and care passionately about; achieving positive social change.
By all means make the decision that trading is not for you. But how about making that decision with a bit more knowledge? Contact Liz Donegan or Sue Dovey for a discussion on any aspect of trading in the third sector.

WATER GUARDIAN: DSI has been delivering water treatment systems (which essentially consist of a covered 19-liter bucket with a spigot at the bottom) and a locally manufactured chlorine solution it has labeled Gadyen Dlo (Creole for "water guardian") since 2007.

Haiti has long had difficulty supplying clean drinking water to its more than 9.7 million inhabitants, a situation compounded by last year's devastating earthquake and more recently by a cholera outbreak that has claimed more than 3,800 lives since October. Whereas the most promising short-term solution to this problem has been treating household water—often collected from bacteria-infested rivers, streams and wells—with chlorine, the logistics of delivering disinfectants and monitoring their use in a country largely devoid of transportation infrastructure has greatly hindered progress.
As a result, aid workers often have difficulty reaching families in rural Haiti to ensure they have enough microbe-killing chlorine and are using it properly. Without regular visits—every month or so—rural Haitians typically revert to drinking unclean water, which helps spread cholera and other diarrheal infections.
Only about 4 percent of Haitians living in rural areas have water piped into their homes, says Michael Ritter, national program officer and CEO of Deep Springs International (DSI), a nonprofit based in Léogâne, not far from the epicenter of the January 2010 quake that killed about 220,000 people. "That means people leave the home to get their water and bring it home," he adds. Travel times vary from region to region, but more than one third of rural Haitians travel more than 30 minutes to obtain water. Even in more urban areas such as the capital city of Port-au-Prince, only 21 percent of Haitians have a household water connection.
Ritter and his DSI colleagues have seen the problem firsthand, which is why they are teaming with Nokia Corp. and the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health to create a mobile data-gathering platform they hope to begin rolling out by the end of the month. As part of the project, DSI community health workers will affix radio-frequency identification tags (RFID) to the 19-liter buckets they provide Haitian families to store their drinking water. These workers will then use mobile phones equipped with near-field communication (NFC) capabilities to read the tags (confirming that a particular bucket assigned to a particular family has been visited) and then relay information about the water's condition via short message service (SMS) texts to a database back at DSI's headquarters.
The goal is for DSI to be able to reach more than the 35,000 families they currently serve throughout Haiti. Given DSI's limited funding and personnel, more accurate tracking of which families need careful monitoring (as opposed to those that are inherently more diligent in cleaning their water) is expected to help the organization better allocate its resources.
The number-one factor that has determined the success of DSI's clean water program to date is how often health workers visit households. "If a family had received a visit, they treated their water," Ritter says. "If a family was not visited, it was 50–50 as to whether they treated their water."
Coming clean
DSI and other aid organizations in Haiti focus on treating water at the home rather than at the source because, even if the water sources could be decontaminated, there is a risk of recontamination as the water is brought back to the home. DSI has been delivering water treatment systems (which essentially consist of a covered 19-liter bucket with a spigot at the bottom) and a locally manufactured chlorine solution it has labeled Gadyen Dlo (Creole for "water guardian") since 2007. Gadyen Dlo is a 0.7 percent sodium hypochlorite liquid solution used to treat drinking water. It takes 30 minutes for one seven-milliliter capful of solution to kill enough microbes in 19 liters of water for that water to be potable. "It's simple, it works and it's cheap," Ritter says.
A 240-milliliter bottle of Gadyen Dlo costs about $1.25 and can last as long as two months, depending on household size. DSI health workers use a pool-testing kit to analyze the chlorine level of a five-milliliter sample of drinking water—if less than the recommended amount of Gadyen Dlo is present, the water may not be safe to drink.
Tech solution
Now DSI is working with the Nokia Research Center (NRC) in Palo Alto, Calif., and U.C. Berkeley's School of Public Health to put as many as 50 Nokia 6212 mobile phones in the hands of DSI health workers as part of a pilot project. The hope is that DSI will be able to document visits more quickly and accurately than it can with its current paper-based system. Under the current system, most DSI health workers fill out forms that may take several days to reach the organization's main office.

Abstract: This article addresses the question of whether extension workers can change their attitudes and practices in order to promote participatory rural development by considering the case of Botswana. It discusses the emergent participatory extension paradigm which uses techniques such as participatory rural appraisal (PRA). It describes the new community-based strategy for rural development in Botswana which includes the expectation that the extension services can be reorientated to facilitate increased community participation. Evidence is presented from research in 1995-96 which evaluated a pilot project involving PRAs undertaken by extension workers in four districts. The project sought to find out systematically whether PRA could enhance the ability of the extension services to undertake participatory rural development. The findings suggest that extension workers can develop through training the attitudinal predisposition necessary for adopting a more participatory approach to extension practice. However, there are institutional and contextual constraints which present obstacles to implementing participatory rural development. It is therefore not certain that the proposal to expand the use of PRA on a national scale will lead to the anticipated reorientation of the extension services.

Abstract: The article highlights the renewed significance of adult literacy for international and national educational policy as a result of the World Educational Forum in 2000, at which a new vision of literacy was advocated. The difference between the new and old paradigms of adult literacy is considered. The article argues that the traditional approach which has dominated the international discourse on adult literacy has profoundly influenced national decisions. This influence is illustrated through a comparative analysis of national adult literacy programmes in Botswana and Zimbabwe. The programmes exhibit a high degree of similarity despite differences in the national contexts. The analysis shows that the traditional approach has been relatively ineffective in improving adult literacy levels. However, proposals for change influenced by the new paradigm have not been taken into account. Thus the examples of Botswana and Zimbabwe indicate the difficulty in displacing the dominant tradition in adult literacy at the level of national policy-making.

Hans My Hedgehog
It is amazing how fairy tales can be twisted and turned and what fun authors and illustrators have doing it. I like most of these fractured fairy tales but I must confess, I think there are way too many of them being published. Just check this list from Hennepin County Public Library:
So my heart warms when I read a retelling of a traditional tale that adapts the story to fit our times without sacrificing the essence of the tale. Enter Hans My Hedgehog, a lesser-known Grimm fairy tale retold by Kate Coombs and illustrated by John Nickle.
The story is about a boy who is born a hedgehog from the waist up. When he is old enough, he flees to the forest on a rooster accompanied by his loyal pigs and his trusty fiddle. His music is almost magical and leads first one lost king, then a second one to him. He helps them out of the forest and each unwisely promises Hans that he can have the first thing he lays his eyes upon if he helps the king return safely. Naturally, the first thing Hans sees is the king's beautiful daughter. The first king refuses to honor his promise and gets justly punished. But Hans eventually marries the second princess and finds a way to break his enchantment.
The original Grimm story has numerous elements that are quite disturbing as well as a dark, convoluted plot. Coombs makes some excellent adjustments such as giving Hans kind and loving parents, putting the pigs in charge of the revenge on the first king, and letting Hans, through the power of his music, find the solution to his problem. The result is a warm, funny story about a misfit hero who, though prickly, takes charge of his destiny and uses his skills to turn his misfortune into magic and transformation.
The illustrations add tremendously to the warmth and humor. They have a classical feel, rich in detail and color and feature a variety of perspectives and silhouettes and funny scenes such as Hans trying to pull his wedding clothes over his prickles.
This is, all in all, a satisfying story with a hero that any child would cheer for. It is also a great book to nudge children into a discussion about the importance of belonging and what it feels like to not fit in.
