Young swimmers prep for summer with water safety lesson by The Josh ProjectWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Standing near a pool where her students tread water, Toledoan Wanda Butts said teaching life-saving water skills to young children has become her life's calling.
"I think that's my calling and I think that's what I'm meant to do," Butts said June 14. "I want [the parents] not to suffer like I did. Lately, I've been calling myself M.A.D. — Mothers Against Drowning,"
Butt's 16-year-old son, Josh, drowned Aug. 6, 2006, while rafting with friends at Bird Lake in Michigan. He was not wearing a life vest when the raft capsized. Butts said she had no idea her son would be swimming that day, only that he was spending the night with friends.
Butts was devastated. A year later, she turned tragedy into action – and found her calling – when she founded The Josh Project.
The nonprofit organization that teaches young children how to swim and has garnered national attention hosted swimming lessons for about 65 children June 14 at St. Francis de Sales High School indoor pool and will continue to do so every Saturday through July 26 except July 4 weekend.
On June 14, some returning students and 57 new students paid the $25 registration fee for six 30-minute lessons. The students had to be at least 4 years old.
The children, mostly from inner-city homes, learned survival skills in the water, said City Councilwoman Sandy Spang, who is on the board of The Josh Project and helped lead the event.
The city is also partnering with The Josh Project through its Youth Commission to offer $500 in scholarships to what it calls a "critical community effort."
"It fits in with the Youth Commission's mission. It's discretionary spending so it's part of their budget," Spang said. "The goal is to provide scholarships so there's no student who can't afford not to take lessons from The Josh Project."
Awareness was recently heightened when 8-year-old Mustafa Ali drown June 7 at Olander Park in Sylvania. The boy's parents were at the park at the time he went missing. He was found unresponsive in the lake and later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Spang said many of the families in attendance June 14 may have come out because of increased fear. That would be hard to estimate, she said, but the drowning that came at the beginning of summer certainly affected those on The Josh Project, especially Butts, she said.
"Every time a child drowns it takes me back to my son and his drowning. And my heart always goes out to the mother and family of the drowning victim," Butts said. "It was a drowning that was an accident and when things like that happen, you tend to blame yourself, like I did with my son. I'd like to tell the parents, 'It doesn't help to blame yourself. It was an accident and accidents happen.' It really bothers me. But it helps me to know that the things we are doing are good things and need to be done."
Julio Martinez, who brought his 5-year-old daughter to the lessons, believes the training will help if his daughter is ever in a panic situation. His children have some experience swimming in their family pool but since they've moved they don't get as much water time.
"It's important to have them be capable, competent and aware while in the pool," Martinez said. "It will eliminate the panic attack when you don't feel in control."
Since The Josh Project began in 2007, 1,400 children have been instructed in life-saving swim skills by certified instructors.
To "graduate," students must be able to tread water for 30 seconds and float on their back, swim 50 yards with rotational breathing and be able to jump into deep water and swim safely to land.
Students also learned about water safety education, including how to stay safe in and around water, identify and know safety apparatus, how to wear a flotation device and what to do in case of a water emergency.
Paperwork given to parents by The Josh Project says a child may need many lessons before he or she can swim independently. They need year-round practice, regular supervised exposure and positive encouragement.
"It's important to watch your children at all times in and around the water. You got to watch the children — you've got to watch them," Butts said. "I don't want anyone to have to live the way I do. I miss my son."
Butts discovered that water knowledge is generational: if a child's parents has it, then the child will, too. Her parents were afraid of the water, she said, and therefore, she didn't expose Josh to water or water safety.
"I had never been given education on drowning prevention or swimming. My parents didn't swim and don't swim. We found it's generational," she said.
Butts also discovered statistics that shocked her: 70 percent of African-American children can't swim, which increases the risk of fatal drownings by three times in black families over their white counterparts. Most frustrating for Wanda was that Josh's death could have been prevented with basic swimming and water safety education.
The Josh Project developed with the help of USA Swimming. The national governing board connected Butts to her local swimming organization, The Greater Toledo Aquatic Club. GTAC worked with Butts to create a swimming educational program for the Toledo community. GTAC offered swim instructors and pool time at a discounted rate so The Josh Project was accessible to all.
Butts visited local churches to recruit participants and the project's first session was held March 2007 – eight months after Josh's death – with 42 students, many whom were the first in their family to learn how to swim.
The Josh Project has gained national attention, including in 2012 when Butts was selected as one of CNN's "Heroes" and in 2009 when she was featured on the HBO series "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel." People from around the world inquired about how to set up a similar program in their hometowns. She has also been profiled in people.com and huffingtonpost.com.
Chapters have been started in Norfolk, Va., and Bloomington Hills, Mich.
"Each year I get more and more excited," Butts said. "It seems to get better and more people are aware."

"Drowning, it's an accident and it is going to happen," Butts said. "Really, I know I can't stop all drowning, but I can take cautionary measures to help prevent drowning."

COLUMBIA CITY — Lake living might be the life for residents in the Tri-Lakes area, but over-grown channels and mucky canals are making waterway travel impossible.
Recently, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced a project to dredge specific channels around Little Cedar, Big Cedar, and Round Lakes.
As part of the dredging work at Round Lake, a hole was needed to pump the channel water into in order to allow for DNR officials to access the sites.
Lake residents, Matt and Melissa Hile, donated a large portion of their property for the massive pit. An estimated 100 yards in length and approximately 20 feet deep, the hole will hold water and muck transferred from the channels.

Keep it together, now
Sure, your work pants have fifteen pockets. But you keep tossing your keys and phone in the same one. Save your phone and yourself some pokes and scratches - corral those keys in this 100% cowhide leather case. It secures 3 standard-sized keys on each side using antique brass screws, making it easy to swivel individual keys in and out. Clips to your belt loop or tool bag strap to always stay handy. Keeps you looking a bit more polished and organized, too - good for a tradesman's reputation.

Best Uses
Carrying your house and/or car keys is convenient and easy access. Certainly a lot better than a key ring loaded with keys you haven't used in a year. I use mine daily 7 days a week.
Best Uses
The keycase is top grade leather. It's used daily and doesn't over load your pocket. Makes you carry fewer keys. The design is unique. I highly recommend this keycase
Best Uses
I bought these for car keys, but modern car keys have remote fobs built in so they do not fit in this product. This product fits six standard keys well, so I will use it for house/gate/mail box keys.

The UTC wrestling team hosts Campbell in Maclellan Gym at 6:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) with the outright SoCon title on the line. The Mocs are 10-6 overall and 6-0 in league matches. Campbell, who competes in the league as a wrestling affiliate, is 7-9 overall and 5-1 in the SoCon.
This is the regular season finale for both teams, so Chattanooga has already wrapped up at least a tie for the regular season crown. A win over the Camels would give UTC the title by itself.
The women's basketball team hosts Davidson at 7:00 p.m. in McKenzie Arena. The Lady Mocs are 24-3 overall and 17-1 in league play. Davidson is 18-9 and 15-2 in the SoCon. A UTC win will clinch the 12th SoCon Regular Season Title in Head Coach Wes Moore's 15 years at Chattanooga.
The Lady Mocs still have to travel to Appalachian State, while Davidson has two additional games left on its schedule. The Lady Mocs have tied a school record with 25-straight home wins and look to break that mark in the final game in McKenzie Arena this season. This is the second-longest home court winning streak in the nation, trailing only Baylor's 54-game run.
Fans who go to the wrestling match can take their ticket stub to the ticket window at McKenzie Arena and get a free ticket to the women's game against Davidson. For more information, or to purchase tickets to either event, call the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266- MOCS (6627) or visit GoMocs.com.

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with approximately 0.4–0.6% of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists.
Studies suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology, psychological and social processes are important contributory factors; some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms. Current psychiatric research is focused on the role of neurobiology, but no single organic cause has been found. As a result of the many possible combinations of symptoms, there is debate about whether the diagnosis represents a single disorder or a number of discrete syndromes. For this reason, Eugen Bleuler termed the disease the schizophrenias (plural) when he coined the name. Despite its etymology, schizophrenia is not the same as dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder or split personality, with which it has been erroneously confused.
Increased dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain is consistently found in schizophrenic individuals. The mainstay of treatment is antipsychotic medication; this type of drug primarily works by suppressing dopamine activity. Dosages of antipsychotics are generally lower than in the early decades of their use. Psychotherapy, and vocational and social rehabilitation are also important. In more serious cases - where there is risk to self and others - involuntary hospitalization may be necessary, although hospital stays are less frequent and for shorter periods than they were in previous times.
The disorder is thought to mainly affect cognition, but it also usually contributes to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. People with schizophrenia are likely to have additional (comorbid) conditions, including major depression and anxiety disorders; the lifetime occurrence of substance abuse is around 40%. Social problems, such as long-term unemployment, poverty and homelessness, are common. Furthermore, the average life expectancy of people with the disorder is 10 to 12 years less than those without, due to increased physical health problems and a higher suicide rate.
Schizophrenia occurs equally in males and females, although typically appears earlier in men - the peak ages of onset are 20–28 years for males and 26–32 years for females. Onset in childhood is much rarer, as is onset in middle- or old age. The lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia - the proportion of individuals expected to experience the disease at any time in their lives - is commonly given at 1%. However, a 2002 systematic review of many studies found a lifetime prevalence of 0.55%. Despite the received wisdom that schizophrenia occurs at similar rates worldwide, its prevalence varies across the world, within countries, and at the local and neighbourhood level. One particularly stable and replicable finding has been the association between living in an urban environment and schizophrenia diagnosis, even after factors such as drug use, ethnic group and size of social group have been controlled for. Schizophrenia is known to be a major cause of disability. In a 1999 study of 14 countries, active psychosis was ranked the third-most-disabling condition after quadriplegia and dementia and ahead of paraplegia and blindness.
Accounts of a schizophrenia-like syndrome are thought to be rare in the historical record prior to the 1800s, although reports of irrational, unintelligible, or uncontrolled behavior were common. There has been an interpretation that brief notes in the Ancient Egyptian Ebers papyrus may imply schizophrenia, but other reviews have not suggested any connection. A review of ancient Greek and Roman literature indicated that although psychosis was described, there was no account of a condition meeting the criteria for schizophrenia. Bizarre psychotic beliefs and behaviors similar to some of the symptoms of schizophrenia were reported in Arabic medical and psychological literature during the Middle Ages. In The Canon of Medicine, for example, Avicenna described a condition somewhat resembling the symptoms of schizophrenia which he called Junun Mufrit (severe madness), which he distinguished from other forms of madness (Junun) such as mania, rabies and manic depressive psychosis. However, no condition resembling schizophrenia was reported in Şerafeddin Sabuncuoğlu's Imperial Surgery, a major Islamic medical textbook of the 15th century. Given limited historical evidence, schizophrenia (as prevalent as it is today) may be a modern phenomenon, or alternatively it may have been obscured in historical writings by related concepts such as melancholia or mania.
A detailed case report in 1797 concerning James Tilly Matthews, and accounts by Phillipe Pinel published in 1809, are often regarded as the earliest cases of schizophrenia in the medical and psychiatric literature. Schizophrenia was first described as a distinct syndrome affecting teenagers and young adults by Bénédict Morel in 1853, termed démence précoce (literally 'early dementia'). The term dementia praecox was used in 1891 by Arnold Pick to in a case report of a psychotic disorder. In 1893 Emil Kraepelin introduced a broad new distinction in the classification of mental disorders between dementia praecox and mood disorder (termed manic depression and including both unipolar and bipolar depression). Kraepelin believed that dementia praecox was primarily a disease of the brain, and particularly a form of dementia, distinguished from other forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, which typically occur later in life. Kraepelin's classification slowly gained acceptance. There were objections to the use of the term "dementia" despite cases of recovery, and some defence of diagnoses it replaced such as adolescent insanity.
The word schizophrenia - which translates roughly as "splitting of the mind" and comes from the Greek roots schizein (σχίζειν, "to split") and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-, "mind") - was coined by Eugen Bleuler in 1908 and was intended to describe the separation of function between personality, thinking, memory, and perception. Bleuler described the main symptoms as 4 A's: flattened Affect, Autism, impaired Association of ideas and Ambivalence. Bleuler realized that the illness was not a dementia as some of his patients improved rather than deteriorated and hence proposed the term schizophrenia instead.
The term schizophrenia is commonly misunderstood to mean that affected persons have a "split personality". Although some people diagnosed with schizophrenia may hear voices and may experience the voices as distinct personalities, schizophrenia does not involve a person changing among distinct multiple personalities. The confusion arises in part due to the meaning of Bleuler's term schizophrenia (literally "split" or "shattered mind"). The first known misuse of the term to mean "split personality" was in an article by the poet T. S. Eliot in 1933.
In the first half of the twentieth century schizophrenia was considered to be a hereditary defect, and sufferers were subject to eugenics in many countries. Hundreds of thousands were sterilized, with or without consent - the majority in Nazi Germany, the United States, and Scandinavian countries. Along with other people labeled "mentally unfit", many diagnosed with schizophrenia were murdered in the Nazi "Action T4" program.
In the early 1970s, the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia was the subject of a number of controversies which eventually led to the operational criteria used today. It became clear after the 1971 US-UK Diagnostic Study that schizophrenia was diagnosed to a far greater extent in America than in Europe. This was partly due to looser diagnostic criteria in the US, which used the DSM-II manual, contrasting with Europe and its ICD-9. David Rosenhan's 1972 study, published in the journal Science under the title On being sane in insane places, concluded that the diagnosis of schizophrenia in the US was often subjective and unreliable. These were some of the factors in leading to the revision not only of the diagnosis of schizophrenia, but the revision of the whole DSM manual, resulting in the publication of the DSM-III in 1980. Since the 1970s more than 40 diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia have been proposed and evaluated.
In the Soviet Union the diagnosis of schizophrenia has also been used for political purposes. The prominent Soviet psychiatrist Andrei Snezhnevsky created and promoted an additional sub-classification of sluggishly progressing schizophrenia. This diagnosis was used to discredit and expeditiously imprison political dissidents while dispensing with a potentially embarrassing trial. The practice was exposed to Westerners by a number of Soviet dissidents, and in 1977 the World Psychiatric Association condemned the Soviet practice at the Sixth World Congress of Psychiatry. Rather than defending his theory that a latent form of schizophrenia caused dissidents to oppose the regime, Snezhnevsky broke all contact with the West in 1980 by resigning his honorary positions abroad.
Social stigma has been identified as a major obstacle in the recovery of patients with schizophrenia. In a large, representative sample from a 1999 study, 12.8% of Americans believed that individuals with schizophrenia were "very likely" to do something violent against others, and 48.1% said that they were "somewhat likely" to. Over 74% said that people with schizophrenia were either "not very able" or "not able at all" to make decisions concerning their treatment, and 70.2% said the same of money management decisions. The perception of individuals with psychosis as violent has more than doubled in prevalence since the 1950s, according to one meta-analysis.

To the Editor:
The following letter was sent to the Waitsfield Select Board.
To the Waitsfield Select Board:
Thank you for questioning Board of Listers chair John Riley and Contract Assessor Spencer Potter during your July 9 meeting. Charlie Hosford was right to ask them directly about the $200,000-plus "mistake" they have admitted making, on the record.
However, their answer, "Uhm, we don't know how it happened," was less than encouraging. The next logical question (and one the Select Board should have asked) is: How many other such mistakes were made? If Mr. Riley and Mr. Potter really don't know how a $200,000-plus mistake was made (a frightening possibility), it seems unlikely that they would know how many other mistakes were made. Nor, most likely, would they be anxious to conduct research which could reveal other mistakes.
Which brings me back to my original suggestion, that an independent audit is necessary and appropriate. I would urge you to discuss this matter seriously as an agenda item at your next meeting.

1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 large
onion, chopped
1 stalk
celery, chopped
carrots, chopped
4 cloves
garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons
chili powder
1 tablespoon
ground cumin
1 pinch
black pepper
4 cups
vegetable broth
4 (15 ounce) cans
black beans
1 (15 ounce) can
whole kernel corn
1 (14.5 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
Whoa - watch the sodium on this recipe as it's written. I used 1 lb dry black beans instead of 4 cans, which seems about the right amount and cuts the sodium exponentially. It turned out very well, both the flavor and thickness/texture - this one's a keeper.
First time making this recipe so I halved the ingredients just in case it wasn't a big hit as many reviewers posted. I adjusted the spices to our tastes, left out celery since it's been banned from our house, and added some of the tomato to the soup before blending the can (to give some more texture). The soup is good, but not amazing. Maybe some different chilies/peppers would put it above the rest. Still, needed quite a bit of tweaking, so 3 stars for the recipe as is. I served it with polenta wedges which were a good compliment.

This is one of the only soups I've made that I actually looked forward to eating, due to its heartiness (I've only made "thin" veggie soups prior). This is a great recipe! I used 3 carrots instead of 2 and no celery because I didn't have any. I used 1 bag of fresh black beans which I cooked instead of canned. The chili powder and cumin MAKE this recipe I think, it adds a delicious Mexican flavor. I will definitely be making this again, thanks!
When I went to the pantry for ingredients, I found only low-sodium chicken broth, not vegetable broth. I also substituted frozen corn, as I don't care for the flavor or texture of canned. I drained and rinsed the black beans to reduce the sodium content. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly with seasoning amounts, etc. My husband loved it. He likes the Six Can Tortilla Soup (with a few alterations) from this site better, but it was still a thumbs up from a guy raised on meat and potatoes. I served with a garnish of sliced green onions and warm corn muffins. Yum!
Yum!!! Great recipe and so easy!! :)
I used 2 cans of beans instead of 4 for the whole recipe, same amount of celery,onion and carrots.. I browned them then added 2 cups of water, the beans, corn and some veggie soup stock.. Then mashed the remaining can of beans with the tomato and added it in... I used a tbsp of each chili and cumin and it was great!! My family enjoyed it very much.. Will be making this again and again....
Excellent soup! Much better than some restaurants' versions. I had to make some substitutes (a can of tomato puree and water for the whole tomatoes, a can of peas for the corn, and chopped bell pepper instead of celery) but it still tasted delicious. I served it with an experimental vegan cornbread, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. I'm submitting it to all recipes as "Quick and Easy Vegan Cornbread".
Really liked this! Super easy -- I threw everything in the crock pot. It was the perfect dinner to come home to on a cold night. My vegan daughter sprinkled corn chips on hers, and ate two big bowls. Thanks for the recipe.
EXCELLENT! My wife loves black bean soup and I made this and it is the best she's had anywhere. I did go with 1 TBS chili powder and 1/2 TBS cumin and a pinch of cayenne. I'd increase the cayenne next time for a bit more heat. I used canned vegetable stock which is just fine. I wound up adding approximately 2-3 cans (4-6 cups). Just add to your desired consistency. Don't even try to puree the tomato/bean mix in your blender---go with your processor. I rinsed all the black beans but dumped the corn in undrained. This soup is highly recommended and a meal in itself!

CEDAR CITY, UTAH (Dec. 1) - The New Mexico State women's basketball team came back late in the second half to take a 70-68 victory over Southern Utah, 70-68 on Saturday evening at the Centrum Arena in Cedar City, Utah.
Head coach Mark Trakh picked up his 300th career victory on the win, and the Aggies move to 5-2 on the season.
The Aggies proved powerful at the line, going 12-for-16 (75.0 percent). Seniors Stefanie Gilbreath and Kelsie Rozendaal each tallied 15 points on the game with sophomore Danesia Williamson collecting 11.
Gilbreath started the Aggies off with a three pointer right at the arc, followed by another three by freshman Sasha Weber. NM State then allowed the Thunderbirds to go on an 11 point run before Gilbreath dropped a jumper for the Aggies.
"We started off slow in the first half, and we really need to work on that," Trakh said. "We need to move the ball and play defense earlier in the game so we don't put ourselves in this position."
With the team trading point, Jasmine Rutledge picked up two free points for NM State before three other Aggies came up with shots to move the score to 26-18. Another pair of free baskets for the Aggies led the way for redshirt freshman Elena Holguin and Williamson to help the team stay in the game.
Abby Scott picked up a steal for a quick layup for NM State, tightening the score to 38-25 after the final media timeout of the half. A couple of good free throws from Rutledge closed out the first half with NM State trailing by 14.
The second half started on the right foot for the Aggies with Rozendaal picking up the first five points for NM State with a long three to open the period. Williamson went to the line first time in the half, dropping both her shots and posting the Aggies score to 34 before the Thunderbirds made a move on offense.
With 17:35 left in the second half, Rozendaal sank her second of three three's on the night to put NM State within six points of the T-birds after being down by 14 at intermission. With the Aggies controlling the ball early in the second period, a layup by Williamson brought the score to 48-46.
SUU went on a small run, pushing the gap back to seven points, but a deep three by Camila Rosen put the Aggies back within five. Trading shots with the Thunderbirds, NM State came up with two free throws by Rutledge and two more by Williamson to put knot the score at 68. A layup by Williamson with just two second left locked the win for the Aggies and moving their overall season record to 5-2 on the season.
"Overall it was a great win for us. It is nice to be on this four-game win streak. I thought with did a lot of things right tonight. Everyone played hard and now we can go back to focusing on UTEP."
Trakh earned his 300 win on the evening after leading the Aggies to a current four-win streak.
"It's always an honor when you hit a milestone like my 300th win, but tonight we were concentrating on Southern Utah. It's about the game in front of us and now it's the UTEP game on Wednesday. But yes, I am very honored to have worked with such great programs and athletes and coaches to help me get to 300 wins."
NM State now turns its focus to the second of the two-game series against UTEP at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday, Dec. 5.

Editor's note: My name is Brenda Loyd Allred and I grew up in Summerville when it was a very small town. After graduating from Ashley Hall I went to Brenau College and received a degree in Political Science and History. But best of all I met the love of my life and we celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2010. Les and I now live at Franke at Seaside, which we think is the greatest place and are active members of Holy Cross Church on Sullivan's Island. One of our favorite activities is attending a writing class named "Word Weavers." This is where I found the courage to write my stories about growing up.
By Brenda Loyd Allred
Special to the Moultrie News
Snow was something I saw in storybooks or on the calendar hanging in the doctor's office when I was growing up in Summerville. February was the worst month - dreary days of rain and what we natives thought was cold weather. The only good thing was you finally got to wear your Christmas winter coat.
The Charleston stores all had coat sales in November. You always knew what that big box under the Christmas tree held for you. It was not the bride doll with her luggage and trousseau you had prayed for. Every Summerville child would sadly tell you that Chesterfield coats, the only brand sold at Condon's Department Store, never wore out. Christmas day was traditionally one of the warmest days of the winter season. People drove around with their convertible tops down. If you were lucky enough to get a new bike it was a perfect day to ride. It would have been a perfect day to play with your bride doll if you had gotten one, but not to wear the coat that would follow you home no matter where you left it. (Trust me on that)
When I was 6 years old a friend of mine named Mary invited me to her February birthday party. Mother and I went to our five and dime store for a gift. I found a beautiful glass bear filled with purple bubble bath. Mother approved the choice and price. The bear and I returned home. The more I looked at this bear with the purple bubble bath, the more I was unsure if Mary really deserved such an elegant gift.
Mother who was way ahead of the rest of the world in re-cycling kept a box of used gift paper. She would always find just the right size, iron the paper to get the wrinkles out and then wrapped a lovely gift topped with a re-gifted bow. Once wrapped, I knew this ended any discussion about who deserved the bear. Mother did remind me that a bear for cake and ice cream was not a bad trade and I had to agree. She always knew if all else failed, just appeal to my greed and I would give in.
All of the mothers were speechless with admiration when they found that Mary's mother was not having her house wrecked with party games, but was dropping all of us at the theater to see a movie. No one had ever thought of her as such a clever person.
I don't remember which movie we saw because near the middle of the film the lights came on, the screen went blank and the manager told us to put our coats on and follow him. Off we trooped outside. What to our wandering eyes should appear, not eight tiny reindeer, but something so much better. Snow.
We were marched across the street to the small city park and for the next hour of magic we little southern magnolias, played in the snow. We tasted it. We rolled in it. The bad boys stuffed it down the back of our coats, and we really didn't care. Like all good things the snow melted and we went back and saw the rest of the movie. The manager called all of our parents and told them we would be an hour late. We came out of the theater and couldn't wait to tell our mothers or daddies about our magical hour.
It wasn't until I had re-lived the day about a hundred times that it suddenly hit me. Mary had my beautiful bear with the elegant purple bubble bath, but where was my cake and ice cream? I always held this against Mary. Years later when she got married I wondered if they produced that same birthday cake at the reception and did she share it this time?

"It's a great day for hockey!"
The infamous line uttered by the late National Hockey League (NHL) coach Bob Johnson certainly stands true to this day. Over the last few weeks, the McFarlane Companies have been immersed in hockey with two separate events.
The Phoenix Coyotes and McFarlane Toys teamed up for a special giveaway evening two weeks ago. Just a little over 10 years ago, the Winnipeg Jets relocated to the Valley of the Sun, and the Phoenix Coyotes were born.
The Coyotes honored Bobby Hull at center ice that evening. Hull and Todd McFarlane did an autograph signing on the concourse, and all fans in attendance received a 3-inch Hull figure in a Jets uniform. Everyone had a great time and saw a great game, as the Coyotes fell in a shootout to the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1.
Last weekend, the McFarlane team traveled to Atlanta for the NHL All Star Game. With 3,000 Marian Hossa figures for sale and two Todd McFarlane autograph signings, fans were lining up hours early to purchase the figure and meet the man.
While we didn't completely sell out of the Hossa figures, the event was a success in many ways. This was the company's first visit to Atlanta, and we were able to meet and talk to a lot of our collectors. Additionally, it was a great opportunity for many of Todd's fans to get a chance to get some figures and comic books signed and get a chance to talk to the multi-talented artist.
Furthermore, the NHL graciously granted us access to the all stars in order for us to do a facial scanning session. We were able to get scans of the faces of the players, which are downloaded to a laptop computer and saved as individual files. During the sculpting process, these files help us reach even more detail potential, by picking up all the little things such as scars and player-specific facial expressions.
The McFarlane Companies and Todd McFarlane would like to thank the NHL and the Phoenix Coyotes for all their help, and most importantly all the fans that were able to make it to either of the events and pick up one of the figures.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014
The Summerville Fire Department is investigating a fire on Cavalier Drive that left two people dead early Wednesday.
Fifty-one-year-old Sharon Hodge and 9-year-old Christian Zey died about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet.
Christian was a student at Summerville Elementary who celebrated his birthday June 1 with a party. His chihuahua escaped unharmed. Dustin Zey, 19, also escaped the fire.
Zey said he was in his room, an addition on the back of the mobile home, when he heard screams of fire!
He was able to run next door and scream for help, but no one could re-enter the house as the fire turned into an inferno.
A neighbor across the street said the fire quickly engulfed the home.
It was just a ball of fire, the neighbor said.
Battalian Chief Jake Evans said four engines, one ladder truck, the fire chief, one on-duty battalion chief and three off-duty battalion chiefs responded to the blaze.
Investigators were at the home, which is in a mobile home park off Bacons Bridge Road, Wednesday morning.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Parameter Estimation for Nonideal Reactor Models
Application ID: 12183
Real reactors can be modeled as combinations of ideal reactors. In this example two ideal CSTRs with interchange are used to model a real reactor with one highly agitated region and another region with less agitation. Two parameters, relating the volume and exchange rate of the two regions, need to be found by comparing the model results to experimental tracer data. Using the Parameter Estimation feature in the Reaction Engineering interface makes this an easy task.

This tutorial will show you how to draw the female eye.
You can find more drawing tips at my website.
You can view a Mustang drawing video that I made at step 10! check it out :)
Step 1: Basic Shape
We start first with drawing the basic shape of the eye. It's very important to get the right shape. You can use a normal pencil for this.
Step 2: Outlines
Step 3: Center of the eye
Step 4: Upper eye
Step 5: Blending
q-tip or a blending tool to achieve more light tones around the eye.
DO NOT smudge the light dot in the pupil!!!
Step 6: More shadows & details
Step 8: Almost finish
I was able to draw an eye! An actual eye that looks like an eye!!! Thanks so much for easy to follow instructions.
I don't think it's bad for a first try.
Could you make one for the entire face including hair?
thanks again!
Just tried to copy a picture I took of my friend. I didn't get the shape exactly right, nor the shading underneath the eye...
(Constructive criticism welcome)
I'm gonna keep doing the same one until I get an even better result.
Here's a pic that did out of inspiration of your eye, i had a past drawing of an eye nose and lips but i'm too lazy to upload it XD

Wouldn't it of been great had Dana came out and said: "GSP has been a great champion for the past 6 years, fought the toughest competition we could give him, towed the company line, and has been a great ambassador to the sport. If he needs some time off, he can have it. If we feel like he'll be gone for too long, we'll create an interim title. He hope nothing but the best and his mental health is extremely important to us. This is the only time I'll respond to this out of respect to Georges."
Lil Wayne had a seizure and TMZ reported he was dead. TMZ likes to jjmp the gun to gather attention I would, like others are saying, take everything they say as a grain of salt.
Also, Sak it's Dana. He is a dickhead. But yes that would br great but would only be said if the brothers pushed him to say it, His true thoughts and true colors regarding the situation have already been exposed.

Le père de Georges St-Pierre va bien malgré les rumeurs. «Il n'est pas du tout mourant. Il garde mes enfants!» -Myriam St-Pierre, soeur de G
— Gabriel Béland (@gabrielbeland) November 18, 2013

"The father of Georges St-Pierre is doing well despite the rumors. "He is not dying at all. He keeps my children, "Myriam St-Pierre, sister G(GSP)."
Ariel just quoted this from a reporter on MMA Hour, and requoted it on Twitter. Apparently a quote from GSP's sister.
Edit: God I suck at quoting Twitter.
Le père de GSP ne serait pas mourant/The father of GSP is not be dying
"My father is doing very well! said Myriam St-Pierre, sister of George. We get lots of calls and this rumor has to stop. It makes us pain."
"My father keeps my children. He did not keep it was about to die, "said Myriam St-Pierre, 29. It ensures that the sixties was in great shape.
"I do not know where this rumor came from, but this is wrong," she said.
GSP has done well to stay out of the tabloids over the years. The words of advice from GSP's trainer to retire as well as the concussive blows just put him in the spotlight. Nothing could have made his stress worse than creating speculation. Enter TMZ and all the other capitalizing dregs of society.
