Fixed the line following code.
Now works with new unitsFixed a bug with reading the line location, correctly centering the line between -3.5 and 3.5 rather than -4 and 3.Also fixed a bug caused by overflow in absolute speeds sent to motor control, which fixed bouncing in line following.
Changes so that scout1 automatically spawns upon creation of thesimulator environment, and that line follow just continuously followslines instead of prior line-following-capability testing code.
Fixing bugs with ghost scout (these were problems in odometry relatedto constants in the simulator and coordinate frame and theta representationin the simulator). Also made ghost scout translucent in order to differentiateit.
Last commit did not contain changes to Odometry behavior. Gits dumb.
Fixed pause and resume. Kind of. There are lots of bugs with the GUI.
Fixed pause so that it compiles. Also changed behavior gui so that it starts with Scout1 automatically.

Cancer Support Community (CSC)
is an international nonprofit organization that provides support, education and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally led support groups, educational workshops and mind/body classes utilizing the "Patient Active" concept, people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation and restore hope regardless of the stage of disease. Most importantly, CSC provides a home-like setting for people fighting cancer to connect with and learn from each other.
Please visit our calendar page for dates and times of all programs.
"Perhaps, before you were diagnosed with cancer, you were just like I was. Busy. Busy taking care of your home, your family, your job, sweating the small stuff and desperately searching for a little "me" time. Then suddenly time stops while it also spins out of control and you are faced with more "me" time then you ever wanted."

STATE OF ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE JANE DEE HULL Governor 2910 NORTH 44th STREET, SUITE 210 PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85018-7256 602/912-8456 (phone) 602/912-8452 (fax) CHARLES R. COHEN Director of Insurance Former Director J. Michael Low issued the following Circular Letter on April 28, 1981: DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE REPLACEMENT April 28, 1981 On March 31, 1981, the Arizona Department of Insurance conducted a public hearing under Docket No. 3781, styled "In the Matter of the Investigation of Workmen's Compensation Insurance Replacement." The purpose of the investigative proceeding was to examine the legality of certain programs presently being offered to employers as an alternative for workers' compensation insurance. These programs typically provide a package of life and health insurance benefits, including disability income benefits, under group insurance policies covering those employees who choose to reject workers' compensation coverage. The programs are chiefly represented as providing more benefits than workers' compensation insurance at a lower cost to the employer. My review of the transcript of the public hearing persuades me that there are obvious problems which arise whenever an attempt to replace workers' compensation insurance with a package of life and disability insurance benefits is made. To begin, A.R.S. 20-443 prohibits the making of any misrepresentation to a policyholder for the purpose of including such policyholder to lapse, forfeit, surrender, retain or convert any insurance policy. Further, A.R.S. 20-444 provides that no person shall make any statement concerning the business of insurance which is untrue, deceptive or misleading. To my way of thinking, the failure to disclose any material provision in an insurance policy, particularly one relating to deductibles, waiting periods or medical expense limitations, is a deceptive and misleading practice. Additionally, the failure to inform a policyholder of the potential liability that may arise when an employee rejects the workmen's compensation act is an inherently deceptive practice. The disclosures which would at a minimum need to be made in a careful and understandable manner should include: 1) The fact that an employee who rejects the compensation benefits can sue an employer for negligence relating to an industrial accident. 2) A description of the waiting periods, deductibles and co-insurance provisions of the health insurance coverage. April 28, 1981 Page 2 3) An adequate explanation of the "reasonable and customary charges" limitation in an accident and health insurance policy. 4) A full description of any and all exclusions for preexisting conditions. 5) Any limitation on the definition of "physician" or other health care provider for purposes of obtaining coverage under a health insurance policy. 6) A complete description of the requirements for renewal after lapse of coverage. 7) Any limitation on disability income after age 65 or any Social Security offset provisions. 8) Any limitation on benefits for the recurrence of any existing disability. The above list is not intended to be exhaustive; still the foregoing represents material facts which would need to be carefully considered in the event a health insurance program was substituted for workers' compensation insurance. Failure to adequately address the limitations that exist in typical health and disability income policies, particularly in the context of a sales solicitation designed to substitute such coverages for workers' compensation insurance, constitutes false and deceptive sales practices which will result in the appropriate disciplinary proceedings. I do not believe that the Department has the authority to forbid outright any attempt to sell a package of life and health insurance benefits in lieu of workers' compensation coverage if all material disclosures are made in an understandable form. However, I do believe that it is erroneous to view a health and disability income program as being generically similar to the mandatory compensation benefits provided by law. Therefore, it is hoped that this letter will put all interested parties on notice that the Department intends to conduct disciplinary hearings based on any material misrepresentation or material omission of fact that arises in connection with the replacement of a workers' compensation insurance coverage.

So, I want to have a campground relatively close to highway 16 and the pinkham notch center. Thanks in advance.

Jill's Paint
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Website: jillspaint.net
Hidden off the main thoroughfare of Glendale Blvd. in Atwater Village and calling themselves "your new neighborhood paint and painting supply store", Jill's Paint is a dealer of fine paints and even finer service. After hearing so many positive remarks about Jill's and their line of premium and environmentally-friendly paint brands, and with a much needed living room wall and trim paint refresh project in mind, we decided to head eastward over the 5 freeway and see for ourselves what all the brouhaha was all about.
Since our visit in 2006, Jill's has undergone renovation and expansion. Check out what's new after the jump!
Greeted outside by a 1954 3100 Series Chevrolet Stepside pick-up, we immediately knew this wasn't just a plain ole purveyor of paints.
Inside, the rhythmic shaking of paint cans and the raucous laughter of a spirited staff greeted us. With a recently completed interior expansion, and a handsome exterior entrance, Jill's Paints feels both small enough to feel like you'll be readily helped at a moment's notice, yet expansive enough to meet all the needs of almost any painting project, big or small. And what is that at the back of the store? A wine bar, of course! Owner and wine collector Peggy McCloud occasionally treats customers to a happy hour of sorts around 4 o ' clock, so if youd like your syrah accompanied with that Palladian Blue, plan your visit accordingly.
How about the paint? After perusing the aisles and choosing out our wall and trim colours, a goateed, powerfully built gentleman mixed our selections, and even pointed us toward more prudent choices in supplies after surveying our choices, saving us a few hard earned dollars, and earning our undying customer loyalty. Up to this point, we've been using the perfectly acceptable line of Behr paints from our local Home Depot throughout our home, a choice born of convenience and cost. But for just a little more, the noticeably superior grade Benjamin Moore paints can be had. Upon application, it became obvious even our medium-grade Benjamin Moore paint excelled in both coverage and vibrancy; where Behr paints would demand 2-3 applications for sufficient coverage, the Benjamin Moore would easily cover in a single application. Consider us schooled.
Update: Since Gregory last visited Jill's Paint in 2006, they've taken over the space next door and expanded. Now offering an extensive line of green paint and products (everything from Mystic Paint to Yolo Colorhouse). We were excited by biodegradable paint trays and drop cloths and Anna Sova's Food Paint (for those needing zero VOCs). Need green building supplies for your next kitchen remodel? Natalie Freidberg, EcoNatalie, Inc. (formerly of All Shades of Green) has now set up shop to guide you through the process. You can also stop by on any given Saturday where a color specialist will help guide you through the paint picking process (free of charge). And don't worry, the wine bar is still in back--only bigger and better to accommodate your entire painting crew.

I love Jill's Paints! The best! I was just there buying some Devine Paints (which i highly recommend) and was impressed with all the new paint lines they have. Unpretentious, homey, and just a great place to spend my money.
Excellent selection of unique and attractive color samples.
Artisan knowledge and quality products abound at Jills.
Thank you.
Jill's Paint is a fantastic store with amazing service (someting you don't find much anymore!) And since they've expanded it's twice as fantastic!
This store rocks - the people are super friendly!
DOes Jill's Paints have a website if so let em know!
They're funny, friendly and helpful and they know their products. Nice atmosphere and easy parking.
Drawback... they're closed Sundays.

text: Just wanted some opinions on this. I dont go over to AT much anymore I used to and when I first found it I thought I had really found something. Needless to say I must have been going through a "simple minded moment" .......it didnt take long before I realized that there was more going on there than meets the eye! It seems that "most" of the guys in the bowhunter section just want to shoot whatever they can in the name of bowhunting and then post the bloodiest pics they can. Then add in the archery section and if the animal wasnt shot with one of the big name bows plus a rage broadhead, well ......then the guy was pretty much an idiot and let the games begin! I know that as a younger man my views on hunting and archery were different than now.........I was young and bullet proof. Well Ive aged and I guess mellowed, I really enjoy things now, no pressure from buddies to kill every deer........or own all the latest gear. I just want to stay under the radar, enjoy my family, the outdoors and life! Its just my opinion but if the hunting and archery "industry" continues down the path its on then its only a matter of time. At this point in my life Im glad I own my own land and just keep to myself. Pretty sure my days over on AT are limited!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 26, 2012)—Rail Trip, the upset winner of the 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup a year before he was second as the favorite in the Grade I, will seek his first victory as a 7-year-old in the $200,000 San Diego Handicap Saturday at Del Mar.
A Grade II at 1 1/16 miles over Polytrack, the San Diego is the eighth of 10 races. Post time Saturday is 2 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable and trained by Ron Ellis, Rail Trip has been fourth and second in his first two races of 2012. The gelded son of Jump Start was fourth behind Roman Threat, stablemate Centralinteligence and eventual Triple Bend Handicap winner Camp Victory in the Grade III Los Angeles Handicap May 28 at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The Kentucky bred followed with a second place finish in an optional claimer – at the San Diego distance – June 28. Rail Trip has won eight of 19 and earned $1,133,790.
The field also includes the well bred Take Control, an undefeated son of A.P. Indy and the multiple stakes winning mare Azeri who won an optional claimer June 30 at Betfair Hollywood Park after 30 months on the sidelines. Perfect in two races, Take Control is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert for owner Kaleem Shah.
Other contenders include Kettle Corn, who was third behind Game On Dude and Richard's Kid in the Gold Cup July 7, defending champion – and 2008 Swaps Stakes winner – Tres Borrachos, and the improving California bred John Scott.
The San Diego Handicap is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In'' race. The BC nominated winner will receive an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, which will be run Nov. 3 at Santa Anita.
From inside out, the field for the San Diego Handicap: Kettle Corn, Garrett Gomez rides, 117 pounds; Mobilized, Corey Nakatani, 115; Tres Borrachos, Mike Smith, 116; John Scott, Victor Espinoza, 114; Take Control, Rafael Bejarano, 113; Prayer for Relief, Joe Talamo, 119 and Rail Trip, Jose Valdivia, Jr., 118.

My releases. Wondering if there would be any advantage to using a D loop instead of the release attached cord?
Releases -600x425.jpg
My releases. Wondering if there would be any advantage to using a D loop instead of the release attached cord?
Releases -600x425.jpg
Sort of depends if your release will work with a loop and most will. If you have your release loops (that's what they are) trained you probably hook up about as fast. Never liked mine after I tried a d-loop.
Of course, instead of looping under the arrow you'd be attaching directly in line with your arrow.
For hunting, if you have the enclosed jaw (s) you can hook up and leave the release hang and you're ready.
I forget what the aqua one is, but I've had the pleasure to use the other three, like as long ago as 38 years. In fact I still have two of the old Stans. One with custom molded handle.
I know many people today like using a string loop, but if you still like using a rope release consider this. You probably put the rope under the nock. This places the apex of the string right at the bottom of the nock. Upon release the nock gets pushed down just a slight bit into that apex. I've seen the slo-mo video footage. So how does it affect accuracy? Well, obviously you tune your bow which adjusts for the nock shift. The bow, being a machine repeats itself each and every shot so accuracy remains the same from shot to shot.
To my way of thinking string loops, although popular, create as many problems as they solve. You see questions all the time about some of them. Which is the best string loop material? Some release jaws abrade the loop so it needs replaced periodically. I don't care how good you are you'll never tie two string loops to exactly the same length. Knots have to oppose each other to balance it out; otherwise it can, due to it's mass, swing around the bowstring at the shot, which it might do anyway if not tight enough. This can introduce the problem of the peep turning to an undesired position.
Just about 6 months ago, for personal reasons, I put my rope releases out to pasture; Cascade model 8 to be exact. I'd been using them for over a decade. Replace the roipe on one of them one time during that who period. Anyway, I bought a Scott Sabertooth after much shopping and testing. One of my reasons for the Sabertooth is that the jaws are nicely machined (all rounded edges) stainless steel. I hook up directly to the serving under the nock. Thousands upon thousands of shots without needing to replace serving.
So I guess what I'm getting at is that archery being the sport that it is, everybody can "float their own boat". Whatever works best for an individual is what he should shoot if he so desires. There is no "right or wrong" if it works.

Thanks for the replies guys, yes Sonny Thomas, good point about the release rope being inline with the arrow with the D loop.
bfisher I've started a "archery info" folder where I'll keep all the replies for reference. The slow mo video sounds very interesting, I'd like to see exactly how things react the moment of release. I'll go ahead and try the D loop when my form is stable. I'm sure things will work out to find what works individually for me.
The aqua release is my favorite, once you close the jaws, it locks until you hit either the pinkie or thumb trigger. The only writing on it is "Hole Thing 3"
This go around, I'm even thinking of trying a recurve with fingers.

Hunting chic: fall '10 is all about wild pigs »
A roving pack of 15 feral hogs have dared to venture onto a private golf course in Clayton, Calif. and will now pay for their impiety with their lives. See, normally the pigs live in the foothills of Mt. Diablo, but thanks to this wretchedly long summer, there isn't any pig-food in the foothills of Mt. Diablo, so they were forced to look for delicious, nourishing grubs elsewhere—like moist, healthy soil, where grubs thrive. And where on Earth, come heat or drought or acid rain, will one always and forever find moist, healthy soil? On private golf courses, duh. Club members pay big money to bogart all that water.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, grubs don't live atop the green, but in the soil beneath it, requiring a feral hog to dig and dig to find enough grubs to fill its hoggy belly. But for the Oakhurst Country Club, this will not do. How can they play golf on a pig-ruined course? It's impossible! They are massive, these feral hogs, and completely bold; they dig under fences and fear no man. One might note that, in their search for food so as to avoid starving to death, hogs put "eating" ahead of "golf course green maintenance" on their list of priorities, but they are causing "thousands of dollars in damage to the golf course," leaving Oakhurst no choice but to apply for a Wild Pig Depredation Permit from the state Department of Fish and Game, which was approved just this week Tuesday. Ooh, even better: while the regular depredation permit only allows trapping the wild pigs, or shooting them with a bow and arrow, the Clayton Police Department has made an exception and allowed the hunter Oakhurst hired to use a real gun! Awesome! Those 15 starving marauders will be dead sooner than you can say "bloodthirsty lunatics!"
Sound familiar? Yes, it is reminiscent of Hog Out Month in Texas, though this killing spree is limited to one hunter and one area—no, wait, wait: "[Clayton] also has a permit to kill an unlimited number of wild pigs that have been destroying the city's sports complex"! Does a relative of the great Todd Staples live in Clayton? Someone in the East Bay must really hate feral hogs, or looooove shooting things, because this little town is about to have a massacre. Thank the Lord, the golf course will be safe again.

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance works to encourage greater public confidence and trust in the charitable sector. By producing
in-depth charity evaluation reports
based on comprehensive Standards for Charity Accountability,
promoting a seal
that signals charity commitment to ethical practices,
speaking out on accountability
at meetings of charities and others in the sector, and
advising donors
on responding wisely to charity appeals, the Alliance helps advance high standards of conduct among charities and informed giving by contributors.
In 2007, with its online charity reporting and evaluation system fully operative, the Alliance continued to expand its production of reports. More than 1,100 reports about national charities are currently available to potential donors. Donor interest in the Alliance's evaluations is evidenced in part by the two million hits received annually on the report section of the Alliance Web site,
Marked expansion of the BBB Wise Giving Alliance national charity seal program also occurred in the year, when 50 additional national charities elected to participate. A participating charity can display the seal on its Web site and in its appeals, providing donors with a quick and easy way to see that the charity meets the Alliance's Standards. The seal has appeared in over a billion charity direct mail appeals and was featured in a full-page ad in The New York Times 2007 Giving section with the heading "Start With Trust ®." Seal holders also attended an Alliance-sponsored meeting to share ideas for increasing donor exposure to the seal.
The Alliance's online system and the charity seal program, both available to local Better Business Bureaus under agreement with the Alliance, have helped spur interest in increasing the integration of national and local charity evaluation. In 2007, at the second Alliance-sponsored "BBB Summit," Better Business Bureau representatives met to explore ways of strengthening local charity review programs.
The Wise Giving Guide, the Alliance's quarterly publication, summarizes the Alliance's evaluations and includes articles on the why's and how's of charity practices that affect donors. In 2007, the Guide featured articles on car donations, charity thrift shops, Alliance evaluation as seen by charities who experienced it, and in the final issue of the year, newly re-designed for greater eye appeal, the problems for potential donors when charities don't respond to Alliance requests for information. The Guide reaches tens of thousands of readers through Alliance mailings, charity conferences and distribution through local Better Business Bureaus.
As the nation's premier charity monitoring organization, the BBB Wise Giving Alliance is often contacted by regulators, lawmakers, nonprofit organizations, and the media. On a single day in December, 2007, Alliance executives testified on Capitol Hill at the invitation of two Congressional committees, to a Senate committee about guidance for donors and to a House committee about veterans' charities. In 2007, Alliance spokespeople were also quoted or featured in a wide variety of print and broadcast media, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, National Public Radio, and CNN.

Kevin, a tall, handsome adolescent with a winning smile and matching personality, always looked forward to family Thanksgiving gatherings. It was a time when his home overflowed with people, noise and food for three days. This year was not going to be any different — or so he thought. However, by the end of Thanksgiving weekend, Kevin's realization of who he is and the circumstances surrounding his adoption would be forever changed.
Kevin had always known he was adopted. When he was 18 months old, he had entered foster care because his mother had died from an undisclosed illness and his father, in distress, left Kevin with a neighbor and never came back. He was adopted by his foster parents a year later, the youngest of three children in the family.
Late Thanksgiving evening, Kevin and his cousin were playing Ping-Pong in the basement. He stood shell-shocked as his cousin told him the truth about his birth parents. Kevin's mother did not die from an undisclosed illness. She died a drug addict and his father did not leave, at least not voluntarily; he was in prison.
Kevin was devastated by the words of his cousin and broken by what he felt was his parents' betrayal, though he never mentioned it to them. Before long, he began to withdraw from them and become increasingly angry and sullen. His parents were dumbfounded. What was going on? Was it a problem with school? With friends? No, Kevin was angry because he was hurt knowing that his parents had kept important information from him. Why did they not tell him the truth about his birth parents?
So much damage can be done when the truth is concealed — even if it's an attempt to protect someone's feelings. This Handbook on Thriving as an Adoptive Parent "bonus" chapter explores sharing an adopted child's story with him — the whole truth. We will examine the power of keeping secrets, why children need to know their story, five principles to follow in telling the story, a practical tool for telling the story, and God's message about your child's life story.
Secrets are powerful tools often used to hide a family's potentially embarrassing or shameful event. But when discovered, family secrets can destroy the love and trust the family has fought so hard to build. What else can secrets do?
Katie was adopted as an infant and everyone knew that except Katie. One afternoon, when she was 11 years old, a friend at school asked her a casual question: "Do you know your birth mother's name?" Katie didn't know what to say.
"Birthmother? What are you talking about?" Her friend went on to tell her that her mother had said Katie was adopted and had another mother somewhere. Katie didn't know how to answer. But she did know how she felt — shocked and scared. Her world had changed. She did not know what to do with her feelings and this new reality. Secrets not only alter reality but they can create exclusion and division.
Keeping a secret can divide family members — those who know the secret and those who do not. To keep a secret, according to Harriet Webster in Family Secrets, the secret-keeper must carefully guard all communication with others close to him. This defense mode often leads to distance, anxiety and awkwardness in relationships with others.1 When there is exclusion from the truth, there will be division. Where there is division the probability of mutual caring, mutual understanding, and mutual honesty is diminished.2
Experts cite four compelling reasons why children need to know their adoption story.
When children join their families through adoption and do not hear their story, they sometimes fill the vacuum with fantasy. Jonathan, age 10, imagined that his birthmother lived in a beautiful home near the ocean and when he was older, he would visit her. The problem? Jonathan's mother was in prison and would be for a long time. Jonathan walked on the quicksand created by fantasy instead of truth.
Whether children enter adoptive homes as infants or older children, they bring a past with them. Having little or no information about the people in the past and the circumstances that led to adoption can leave those who are adopted with deep and pervasive feelings of being disconnected. A child's story is the bridge that connects the past to the present and beyond.
One of the most important issues for those who are adopted is trust. A major task for adoptive parents is to create an environment where adoption can be discussed freely, openly, and honestly.
A longtime expert in the field of adoption, Dr. Randolph Severson, commented that when adopted persons find out the secret(s), they state that they have suspected it, but have never admitted that. Severson explains, "There were probably subtle hints along the way, such as lack of pictures during pregnancy or coming home from the hospital. There were probably no stories unless they were fabricated. Some have resurrected memories of whispers at family gatherings. As the truth emerges, there is a rhythm of shock, anger and relief."1
When adopted children grow up in an environment where no one talks of the past or mentions their birth family, they receive a message: Do not ask. Dr. Severson illustrates the subtlety of this message. "Think back to growing up. Did you have a pet that died? Did you have a pet that disappeared? Which one was more difficult to get over? The pet that died or the one that disappeared? The answer is the pet that disappeared. With death comes closure. With disappearance, one is sentenced to a lifetime of wondering."2
For adopted children, having no ability to know what happened to the significant people in their lives sentences them to a lifetime of wondering. One adopted teen commented, "I know I have a birth family out there somewhere. Some days I actually look into crowds hoping maybe to see someone that looks like me."
Adoptive parents face a unique task. They need to share their child's adoption story with them, while demonstrating compassion and cultural sensitivity. Following are five principles for sharing the story:
When you share your child's adoption story, adapt it so that it is developmentally appropriate. Honesty is the foundation of healthy communication.
Words are powerful because they have meaning. Too often when talking about adoption, adults tend to use words that give a negative impression. An example of this is the phrase "Why were you put up for adoption?" This leads the adoptee to feel like a piece of merchandise marketed to the highest bidder. Other words such as "adopted out" or "given away" or "real parent" do not accurately describe the adoption experience. Therefore, we must use words and phrases that define adoption positively.
By using positive and accurate language, we educate others about adoption. We choose emotionally 'correct' words over emotionally-laden words. We speak and write in appropriate adoption language with the hopes of influencing others so that this language will someday be the norm.1
It is important to know, specifically for older adopted children, what the abuse or neglect was — because it happened to them. We should talk about life experiences they lived through. They may have been pre-verbal when it happened, but it does not mean they do not remember. Children can also be good detectives, interviewing others (siblings or other relatives) and/or looking through parents' papers to find information. They may also remember more than parents realize. Failing to provide an atmosphere where a child can ask difficult questions is like allowing an elephant to live in the middle of the family living room. There is always a sense that something is not being talked about. Children learn early on from the open or closed communication environment just how they are to handle sensitive issues — whether to tiptoe around them or deal with them directly.
The realities of a child's life should not be withheld. However, some of these truths should be shared with demonstrated compassion toward the child who may have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. There are probably no parents who ever, as children, dreamed of becoming drug addicts or felons. Yet they did. Sometimes people become entangled in horrendous life circumstances in which they make choices that would be different if their lives had taken other paths. Poor choices do not justify wrong actions, but perhaps a truthful but compassionate perspective will lead a child to understand and maybe one day forgive her birth parents.
A child should have control over his or her own story. Of course, parents love to share the story of how their child came to them. That is good. They love to share stories of an anecdotal nature. That's good as well. However, what should be kept for only the child to tell when he chooses are the difficult parts of the story. Those things remain private.
It is not the adult's responsibility or choice to share the story of a child's past physical, emotional or sexual abuse, abandonment or trauma. It is not the adult's responsibility to fill in all the gaps in the child's story to those outside the family. Once a parent does that, the child has lost control of information that is only his to tell when he is ready, wants to or needs to.
The child should be told that his adoption story is for him to tell.2
There are many creative ways for adoptive parents to share their child's adoption story. Telling the story should not be a one-time event but an ongoing process as the child grows. An effective tool for doing just that is the life story book.
Much like a child's baby book, the life story book captures and preserves the details of a child's past before she entered the adoptive family. It connects the past to the present and provides continuity of the child's life story.
If a child enters her adoptive home as an infant, she will probably have no memory of the people in the past. This is also true for toddlers or older children. The adoptive parents' task is to become the child's memory storehouse and to fill in memory gaps with any information they can gather.
"Children will ask the questions they feel they have the permission to ask. They have to be grounded enough and whole enough to ask questions they feel they don't have permission to ask."—Jane Hoyt-Oliver, LISW, Ph.D., Chair of Social Work Program, Malone College
"Children will ask the questions they feel they have the permission to ask. They have to be grounded enough and whole enough to ask questions they feel they don't have permission to ask."—Jane Hoyt-Oliver, LISW, Ph.D., Chair of Social Work Program, Malone College
If the child is older at the time of placement, the following will expand the basic information listed above:
According to Betsy Keefer Smalley of the Institute for Human Services in Columbus, Ohio, "Teens, who have spent any amount of time in foster care and enter adoption or independent living, have probably lost track of the important details of their lives. They probably do not have many mementos of their past — little or no birth information or pictures. They do not have a record of where they lived and the people with whom they lived, the schools they attended, and the achievements they obtained. Putting a life book together for a young teen requires investigative work and perseverance. However, it may be the youngster's only link from a confusing and disjointed past to a more stable future. The life book for the teen should include as much information from birth, medical, and developmental records that can be traced."2
Finding this information can be challenging. Parents should take a proactive role in gathering information. The following are suggested places to look:
The life story book should always be readily available to the child. However, it is highly recommended that parents keep the original life story book and make a colored copy for the child to keep. Because the life story book is so valuable for the child, preserving it should be a high priority. Occasionally, a child may become angry and destructive, and as a result, destroy the life story book.
Bringing up the life story book and its contents to a child can be a sensitive subject. Often, birthdays and holidays are emotional triggers for loss issues. These would be good times to mention the life story book and offer to sit down with the child to go over it again.
Every adopted child has a story and that story will influence others. Some of the events of a child's life prior to adoption are not difficult to communicate. Yet for other children, their life events and stories speak of horrific physical, sexual or emotional abuse, neglect, trauma, abandonment and more. The beautiful truth for adoptive parents is that God has placed children in their families for healing and redemption. The word redemption means to "restore dignity to." As God embraced us as His children to restore our dignity, in that same way, adoptive parents embrace their children.
Many children who have experienced difficult life situations come to believe that they are not worth anything and that they do not deserve good things. An adoptive parent's lifelong message to his child comes from God's Word. God's powerful truth is this:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).
That message can be lived out every day as parents communicate unconditional love and acceptance, communicate belonging in the family and picture a future of hope and promise with that child.

Reducing Kids' TV Time: What Works?
Nov. 5, 2012 -- Counseling parents on the health risks of too much TV time for their toddlers doesn't seem to help break the TV habit.
Researchers thought that educating parents about the dangers of excess screen time, with suggestions on how to reduce it, would work.
But in a new study, it didn't, although the counseling did lead to another important behavior change.
"We did find we could reduce the number of meals eaten in front of the screen," says researcher Catherine S. Birken, MD. Birken is a pediatrician at the Hospital for Sick Children and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Toronto.
"That's important, because some research is showing the relationship between screen time and obesity is strongly mediated by what you eat while watching TV," she says.
The study results ''may be depressing but it's not surprising," says Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH, director of the Center of Child Health, Behavior, and Development at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute. He reviewed the study findings for WebMD.
"The majority of American parents already feel bad or guilty about the amount of TV their kids are watching, but they aren't doing anything about it," he says.
The study is published in Pediatrics.
Too Much Screen Time: What's the Problem?
The researchers define screen time as time spent watching TV, videos, and DVDs, and also playing video or computer games. Too much screen time is linked with obesity, delayed language development, aggressive behavior, and other problems, the researchers note.
Screen times have risen in recent years. The average preschooler now gets about four hours a day, according to a recent study by Christakis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourages television viewing for children ages 2 or younger. For older children, it advises no more than one to two hours a day of educational, nonviolent programs.

ouch, I need to find the one where the guy was trying out a bow at one of them big box store and shot the arrow threw his hand with the arrow still in his hand
Since my wife and I are both shooting some light arrows (292gn) out of our 3-d setups, we both started wearing these: http://www.shootingedgetech.com/inde...id=5&Itemid=54
There is some graphic pics on their site also.
That's why I bought this. I hope i never find out if it really works or not.
I did that but I was lucky. It was not that the arrow was bad. I was in a tree stand and the deer I had been hunting for two years was broad side at 12 yards. Arrow fell off the Golden Key rest and was between the rest and riser. It was almost dark and my attention was not on the bow. It was real ugly, trashed the rest, scared the crap out of me, but not that ugly. Never saw that deer again till its picture was in the paper, and had been shot with a rifle a mile from where I was. We do need to pay attention. There have been some terrible crossbow accidents around here. One kid lost his hand.
