We're all now apparently destined to give up our delightful gas-guzzling luxury boats (again) and dump our super-sized SUVs in favor of wearably small fuel sippers. It seems, thanks to news yesterday that the Dodge Hornet's still in the mix and planning to head stateside, that at least a few automakers are trying to make them interesting, or are at least making them look interesting. Unfortunately none of them are yet here. But of these unbuyable-here (and in a couple of cases, anywhere) econoboxes, we're wondering which ones you're most interested in — hit the jump.
Fiat 500
Fiat has been on again, off again on its plans for a return to the US, but we're hoping eventually to see the reborn Fiat 500 on domestic shores — if for no other reason than to give Mini owners something to think about. Sure, it'll need a little more scoot or a totally different torque curve to get us interested, but the car has style and a superb interior, plus it sips the fuel.
Dodge Hornet
With production confirmation yesterday, we'll be waiting with baited breath for the sting of the Chinese-built Dodge Hornet. The little bruiser should come in right about when gas tops $15 a gallon and the cities start to burn. But that won't stop us from being interested in the Hornet. We'll just have to wait and see if Chryslerberus and Chery can deliver the goods on product quality.
Nissan Cube
The Nissan Cube has been forbidden, asymmetrical fruit for years now, but Nissan is telling us the next version will be US-bound. We don't know if the funky style will survive, but it could be the beneficiary of Carlos Ghosn's big electric push, resulting in an all-electric Cube. We'd welcome the little-van-that-could with open arms even if it's just a gasser.

A group of five grisaille paintings by Francis Hayman (1708-76) at Blickling Hall is currently undergoing conservation treatment.
Conservators Sally Woodcock and Polly Saltmarsh are consolidating and cleaning the surface of the pictures, filling in surface cracks and strengthening their frames. The work has been funded by the Ashford Trust and the Norfolk National Trust Centre.
Hayman was a versatile artist who produced portraits, history paintings, pictures showing scenes from plays and decorative works such as this group.
His biggest commission was to paint about fifty pictures to decorate the pavilions and supper boxes at Vauxhall Gardens, the popular pleasure grounds on the south bank of the river Thames.
The Blickling pictures had a similar decorative function, but hung in the private space of the library.
Sculpture seems to have been a recurring motif in Hayman's work: he painted portraits of several sculptors and he included sculptural elements in his other works too.
The Blickling grisailles will be on view again from the second half of May.

Young Reading Series 3 The Second World War
The Holocaust
Zanna Davidson has written over fifty books for children, both non-fiction and fiction. Her stories for children include the Fairy Ponies, Fairy Unicorns and Billy and the Mini Monsters series for Usborne. She lives in the countryside in a cottage on the edge of some deep, dark woods with two small boys and her scruffy black dog, Fred.
An excellent book ... It tackles a very difficult subject very well and is aimed at children aged 9 and over, but I also think it's good for parents to read to explain to their (older) children.
Annalisa Barbieri - The Guardian
Sensitively handled to be age-appropriate... A vivid and compelling account which will raise many questions in children's minds.
Parents in Touch
Written sensitively and movingly.
Coventry Telegraph
The Holocaust by Susanna Davidson is a sensitively written account... The book contains powerful photographic images and archive documents to help highlight the horrors of the Holocaust. It provides an excellent introduction to the subject whilst handling the topic delicately enough as to not upset children.
Adventures in Homeschooling
It's simple to understand, crams a mass of information into short digestible chunks, and does its very best to explain a seemingly inexplicable event.

Tar Heel Blue or Red?
-- Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain are locked in a competitive race for the state of North Carolina. One of the battleground states in this year's presidential election, the Tar Heel State has voted Republican in the last four national elections.
But, while the state has been a Republican stronghold in years past, recent trends suggest there may be an opportunity for Democrats to turn the state blue.
Obama emerged victorious over Sen. Hillary Clinton in the May primary, largely backed by African-Americans, he took the state with 91 percent of the black vote and 56 percent of the total vote. McCain also won the state's Republican primary, besting his competitors with 74 percent of the vote.
With 15 electoral votes on the table, both candidates have invested in North Carolina, pouring organizational resources into the traditionally red state.
The latest ABC News assessment categorizes North Carolina as "Battleground," but check back soon for more updates from ABC News.

Avoca is one of Virginia's finest Queen Anne-style country homes. It sits on land granted by King George II to the father of distinguished Revolutionary War patriot, Colonel Charles Lynch. Architect John Minor Botts Lewis designed the house for Thomas and Mary Fauntleroy in 1901.
Culpepper-native Lewis graduated from the engineering school at the University of Virginia in 1891. Before designing Avoca, Lewis designed the Lynchburg Cotton Mill and the Woodberry Forest School in Madison County and built wooden and iron bridges in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. In 1902, Lewis became a partner of William R. Burnham in the firm of Lewis Burnham, and then practiced alone from 1912 until 1918, when he left the field of architecture for the presidency of a local manufacturing company.
The Queen Anne style became popular in England after 1868, the year English architect Richard Norman Shaw designed Leyswood, a Sussex residence, in the Queen Anne style. The British government constructed two Queen Anne buildings at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876, sparking interest in the style in America, where it came to be quite popular.
Avoca is an asymmetrical 2 ½-story wood-frame house with a veranda and a hipped roof with towers, dormers, and other projections. Paired fluted columns surround the porch. The home exemplifies the Queen Anne style through its irregular massing and the towers and other projections that break the center regular core. Avoca is situated in a large yard, looking towards the rolling countryside.
Colonel Lynch lived on the property from 1755 until his death in 1796. His son Anselm developed it into a successful plantation that remained in the Lynch family for several generations. Colonel Lynch's great granddaughter Mary D. Fauntleroy and her husband built the Queen Anne house that stands on the property today. The Lynch family cemetery is to the rear of the house.
Avoca is located at 1514 Main St. in Altavista and is open to the public as a museum. The museum is open on Thursday and Friday from 11:00am to 3:00pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 1:30pm to 4:30pm. More information can be found by calling (434) 369-1076, or visiting the Avoca Museum website. While you're in Altavista be sure to also visit the Main Street commercial area, where there are a number of shops and restaurants.

Running Cycle Campaign Groups
Running Cycle Campaign Groups
Once you have had your first meeting, and hopefully had some interested people turn up, you need to concentrate on maintaining numbers and enthusiasm.
From your meeting you should have an idea of what sort of cyclists have expressed an interest - are they commuters, Sunday racers, mountain bikers or interested in road safety?
The dynamic that your group has attracted will influence what sort of activities you should be organising. You may find that weekly rides will bring more people into your group, or you may find it a distraction from your core campaigning objectives - or maybe you have the resources and capacity to do both.

Meet Molecule Max!
Join JPL's new animated science ambassador on a whimsical and informative tutorial on how Earth's water cycle works and how NASA studies it.
Transcript:Molecule Max Presents The Water Cycle
SONG: He's a water molecule, so give 'em a hand! He's really swell, He's Molecule Max!
Molecule Max: Time to learn about the water cycle! The water cycle is comprised of evaporation, condensation...
Off-screen: Giggles/laughs
Molecule Max: ...precipitation and runoff.... ...Okay, What's so funny...?
Emma: Uhhhh, What??? Molecule Max: Hey-what gives? I'm talkin' here.
Emma: You've got to be kidding.
Molecule Max: Listen, this is important scientific material.
Emma: Um, yeah. No, you really know your stuff, Mr... Talking-Water- Molecule-in-my-Office Man.
Molecule Max: I've been doin' this stuff for over 50 years. I think I know a little something about the water cycle-- Hey, what's all that? Hmmm... not bad. Working on a grant proposal, eh?
Emma: Actually, I'm working on an outreach presentation. It'll show our latest research and a new water cycle visualization.
Molecule Max: Well, I suppose a little updating never hurt anybody. Say, that looks cool. What's that?
Emma: Those are all the satellites that are observing parts of the water cycle. From space, we're finally getting a global perspective of the movement of water through the Earth system. And we're beginning to apply our new perspective to meeting our growing human needs for fresh water.
Molecule Max: Whoa! look at that! Those new satellites are a lot more advanced than they used to be.
EMMA: (laughs) Just a bit. Let me show you what we're learning from the data they gather. First, we're measuring atmospheric water vapor with high accuracy and spatial resolution. The data indicate that water vapor is increasing, which we think is related to an increase in the release of water from soil by evaporation and plant transpiration.
Molecule Max: Interesting, but what about condensation?
EMMA: Well, we can also observe clouds which tell us how efficiently water vapor is condensing at various altitudes in the atmosphere.
Molecule Max: Wow! The whole structure of clouds!
EMMA: Based on our cloud data, we've noticed an increased amount of clouds forming higher in the atmosphere.
Molecule Max: Is that affecting precipitation?
EMMA: Maybe, our measurements of global precipitation indicate that rainfall is increasing over land.
Molecule Max: So that must mean that rivers are fuller and delivering more fresh water back to the oceans?
EMMA: Yes, somewhat, despite the increasing amount of evapotranspiration and river alteration by humans.
Molecule Max: So the water cycle is really undergoing some significant changes! What's causing this?
EMMA: Well, for starters, our need for fresh water has really jumped since the 1950's. We've got nearly 3 times more people. And the typical family in the US now uses more than a hundred gallons of water per person-per day! So, given that only 3% of the water on earth is fresh water, and most of that is frozen in the polar ice caps, we humans are really changing the runoff part of the water cycle just to meet our needs. And here's the other big change! Look at these world temperature trends.
Molecule Max: Whoa-warmer temperatures must be causing more evaporation. Right?
EMMA: Exactly. Global warming trends seemingly have caused the whole cycling of water to speed up, with more evaporation, more water in the atmosphere, and more precipitation.
Molecule Max: With more and stronger storms and floods, I suppose?
EMMA: Yes, we are seeing them in some places, but not everywhere. So we need more information to make sense of the trends.
Molecule Max: Sounds like we need a better handle on the water cycle. You've shown me satellite data on water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. But are your satellites collecting data on evaporation and water runoff?
EMMA: Not yet because that's really hard to measure. But look at the future missions we'd like to do.
EMMA: First, we want to better understand how water flows on land surfaces. For this, we need two satellites-one to measure soil moisture, and another to look at surface water levels. Next, we want to measure how fast water evaporates from the ocean. We can do that by observing the ocean's salt levels. Last, we want to know how much frozen fresh water we've got. And for that, we need to measure snow and ice levels around the world.
EMMA: See, the thing is, we need to learn more so we can better manage the fresh water we do have. That's why our current missions-and all the terrific data we're getting, are so important- Molecule Max: You're right. There's so much new technology, and so many possibilities I can hardly believe it.
EMMA: I understand. Most of the research I do isn't so entertaining.
Molecule Max: Looks like I've got some work to do!
EMMA: Me too, or this is one outreach presentation no one's going to believe.

text: AMMAN - At least one Hezbollah guerrilla and five Syrian rebels have been killed in fighting in Syrian territory on the border with Lebanon, nearby Lebanese residents and Syrian opposition sources said on Sunday.Hadi al-Abdallah of the Syrian Revolution General Commission said fighting broke out on Saturday after Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, who are in control of eight Syrian border villages, tried to expand their sphere by moving into three adjacent Sunni villages that were in the hands of the rebel Syrian Free Army."The Hezbollah force moved on foot and was supported by multiple rocket launchers. The Free Syrian Army had to call in two tanks that had been captured from the Assad army to repel the attack," Abdallah said.Shi'ite Muslim Hezbollah guerrillas based in the Bekaa Valley on the other side of the border, which is not demarcated, moved into the area last year. Four of the villages they had captured are inhabited by co-religionists while the other four villages are mixed with Sunni Muslim and Shi'ite residents.Iranian-backed Hezbollah, one of Lebanon's strongest political factions, is a main ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and says that dialogue between him and Syrian rebels will be the only way to defuse Syria's 23-month-old conflict.Assad belongs to the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that has dominated power in Syria since the 1960s. The border area near the town of Qusair, which is in the grip of the mainly Sunni rebels, is an important supply route for insurgents under siege in the central city of Homs.

The Single Oak Project: Searching for the Ultimate Bourbon
Weekly insight into the world of drinks with Paul Clarke from the Cocktail Chronicles and Imbibe magazine.
Nothing's perfect—not even bourbon. But as Buffalo Trace Distillery revealed last week with the debut of the Single Oak Project—the latest and most ambitious release in the distillery's two-decade-long (so far) "Project Holy Grail" search for the ultimate whiskey—the impossibility of perfection in an imperfect universe doesn't mean you can't try.
The premise behind the Single Oak Project is simple: much (some say most) of a whiskey's character comes from the spirit's interaction with wood during the years it rests in an oak barrel. So what happens to the whiskey if you tinker with the wood and other variables in different, tightly controlled ways? With this release, we're starting to get a better understanding of how these factors function together.
As Jason Wilson wrote last week in the Washington Post, the project started more than a decade ago, when Buffalo Trace selected 96 oak trees from the Missouri Ozarks. Each tree provided wood for two barrels (192 in total), one barrel from the top of the tree and one from the bottom (which had a bearing on the size of the wood's grain); the wood was also seasoned and charred to varying degrees, and the finished barrels were filled with whiskey made from a couple of different recipes and of different strengths. After aging the bourbons for eight years and finishing them at 90 proof, Buffalo Trace released the first batch of a dozen bottlings this month, with the remainder of the project's bourbons to hit the shelves at the rate of 12 releases each quarter for the next four years.
For Buffalo Trace, all of this work isn't just for the sake of tinkering, or of making yet another limited-edition whiskey: it's all being done in an effort to determine the secrets to producing the very best bourbon in the world. As Buffalo Trace master distiller Harlen Wheatley told Wilson, "We're very serious about this...We want to know whether a barrel is made from the top half or the bottom half of the tree. It makes a big difference."
The hearts of bourbon enthusiasts are understandably a-flutter about this project, but if you think such tinkering is just the work of whiskey geeks with too much time on their hands, think again. "Go ahead and roll your eyes if you must," Wilson writes. "But let me say here very clearly: It's totally true. There are a lot of romantic, and exaggerated, tales in the spirits business. This is not one of them."
Bourbon drinkers are also invited to participate in the project, in a way: each bottle from the Single Oak Project will bear the number of the corresponding barrel in which the bourbon was aged. After logging in to SingleOakProject.com, drinkers can rate the whiskey and find out more details about the particular barrel and the whiskey inside it.
I got a taste of some of Buffalo Trace's experiments with oak last summer at Tales of the Cocktail, and from what I'm hearing about the Single Oak Project bourbons, I should start hunting for a few bottles. Bourbon fans: who's with me?

This is the third post in a three-part series on RIAs hiring advisors under the age of 40 who are looking to transition to independence.
As I've pointed out in my two previous articles, RIAs can realize significant benefits by hiring younger who are looking to go independent. What's more, recruiting these advisors can be a relatively smooth process if you take the right steps.
Trouble is, too many RIAs fail to consider younger advisors and give them a chance—mistakenly believing that their relative inexperience makes them bad candidates.
With that in mind, here's the truth behind five common myths about today's crop of young financial advisors.
Myth #1: Young advisors are entitled and unwilling to work hard. Older advisors sometimes complain that younger advisors today lack a strong work ethic and commitment to their careers. But surely it's short-sighted to paint an entire large group as entitled, and doing so could cause you to miss out on some great talent. In fact, I see plenty of younger workers (and even recent college grads) who are highly motivated to work hard and "put in the time" with firms that give them opportunities.
That said, today's younger workers do tend to be motivated in different ways than previous generations of advisors. Gen-X and Gen-Y'ers want to see a purpose for the work they do and an importance behind it. Unlike previous generations that typically focused on getting a good-paying job right out of college, younger workers often want to know that their efforts will have a larger meaning and purpose. Keep that in mind if you choose to recruit these workers.
Myth #2: Young advisors don't know how to sell. Nope. In fact, some of the most talented salespeople we employ at Schwab are young—under 35 years old. They understand that sales is about relating to people and conveying the information they need to make informed decisions. Whether you're young or old, the degree to which you can relate to the people considering your services is what will differentiate you and make you successful. That ability has nothing to do with age. I have met a lot of young advisors who are great at this.
Myth #3: Older clients won't work with younger advisors. There may be a kernel of truth to this myth. After all, we all like to associate with others who are like us and have similar life experiences. But ultimately, clients care most about working with people who can meet their needs, work in their best interests at every step and help them reach their most important goals. Younger advisors may have to work harder to prove to older investors that they can get the job done. But in the end, an advisor's expertise at addressing key financial challenges—not an advisor's age—drives a prospective client's decision to work with that advisor or not. In addition, as I mentioned in my first post, advisors under 40 can be a huge ally in connecting with the younger members of a client's family and helping to ensure that those heirs remain with your firm after they receive the patriarch's or matriarch's wealth. In making that connection with a client's heirs, young advisors also demonstrate to the older client that they are highly capable of being involved with the entire family relationship.
Myth #4: Young advisors have technical knowledge, but no "people skills." I see no correlation between technical skills and the ability to work well with other people. It may even be true that social media technologies like Facebook and Twitter—which are used heavily by younger generations and which let users interact with large and diverse groups of people around the world—actually strengthen one's ability to relate to other people. What's more, thanks to the growth of the wealth management business model that emphasizes relationships over sales pitches, younger advisors are extremely comfortable with the idea of working collaboratively with clients to help address their needs.
Myth #5: Young advisors haven't been through complete market cycles, so they don't see the longer-term picture. I believe that younger advisors' experiences during the recent bear market and recession actually give them a unique perspective that puts them at an advantage in understanding markets and investing on behalf of clients. Due to the volatility and risk over the last few years, younger advisors are acutely aware of how much is at stake with their clients' capital. They recognize that there is a larger economic cycle that impacts wealth creation and retention, and that markets can plummet as fast as they can soar. As a result, these advisors take nothing for granted when it comes to helping clients be good stewards of their wealth.
The upshot: Don't let myths and half-truths blind you to the growing number of younger advisors transitioning to independence and all the benefits they can bring to an RIA. If you're looking to hire, take the time to interview some younger candidates. You might find that they're exactly what you need to help you take your firm to the next level.

The Hope College Alcor chapter of Mortar Board has placed first in the national organization's "Virtual Book Drive" for the second consecutive year, a success that is providing an early Christmas gift for area children.
The Hope College Alcor chapter of Mortar Board has placed first in the national organization's "Virtual Book Drive" for the second consecutive year, a success that is providing an early Christmas gift for area children.
The chapter raised $8,535.38 in the July 25-November 16 drive, which the national Mortar Board organization held in conjunction with First Book, a national literacy nonprofit.
The Mortar Board Virtual Book Drive is a fundraising challenge in which chapters compete to raise funds in order to bring new books to local programs serving children from low-income families. The funds are available for use through the First Book Marketplace, where programs can choose from hundreds of high-quality titles at deeply discounted prices.
A tenth of the total will support First Book's work providing books to children all over the country. PineCreekElementary School in the WestOttawaSchool District is receiving the rest along with an additional $500 that the chapter won for being the drive's top fund-raiser, for a total of $8,181.84.
In addition, Hope's Alcor chapter won four $100 Borders gift cards for being the top fundraising chapter during each of the drive's four months. The chapter is contributing the cards to the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program, which is a community organization housed at Hope that provides academic and cultural enrichment for at-risk second- through fifth-grade students.
Hope's total in the national Virtual Book Drive exceeded the total raised by the second-place finisher by more than $4,200. Last year the Hope chapter raised $4,716.65 in the drive, exceeding the second-place total by more than $1,300. The chapter designated last year's funds for Van Raalte School in Holland and an additional $500 Borders gift card award to CASA.
Along with participating in the July 25-November 16 virtual drive, the chapter also collected books locally for Pine Creek in conjunction with the college's Homecoming celebration, delivering several boxes of books to the school in October.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 227 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. The chapter's advisors are Dr. Dianne Portfleet, who is an adjunct associate professor of English, and Martie Bultman, who is the wife of HopeCollege president James E. Bultman.
The chapter has repeatedly received national recognition. During the national organization's annual summer conference this past July, for example, the chapter received its fourth consecutive "Golden Torch Award" for excellence and eight "Project Excellence Awards" - more "Project Excellence Awards" than any other college has ever received.

If your family has a history of breast or ovarian cancer, talk with your doctor or nurse about it. You may be at higher risk for developing these types of cancer.
Talk with your doctor about genetic counseling and testing.
Genetic counseling and genetic testing can help you understand your risk for cancer. Doctors don't recommend genetic testing for all women, but you may want to consider it if:
- Two or more of your close family members (such as parents, sisters, or children) have had breast or ovarian cancer
- A close family member had breast cancer before age 50
- A close family member has had cancer in both breasts
- A family member had both breast and ovarian cancer
- You have Eastern European Jewish heritage
Genetic testing can't tell you if you will get cancer or not, but it can show if you have a higher risk. If you do, you can get treatment to help lower your risk.
What is genetic counseling?
Genetic counseling is when a trained health professional talks with you about your family health history. Some diseases, such as breast and ovarian cancer, can run in families. Genetic counseling can help you decide whether to get genetic tests.
Find out more about genetic counseling for breast and ovarian cancer.
What is genetic testing?
Genetic tests help doctors look for mutations (changes) in your genes. If you have a mutation in certain genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, you are more likely to get breast or ovarian cancer.
To learn more, check out:
Take Action!
Start by talking with a doctor or nurse about your cancer risk.
Talk with a doctor about your family health history.
Use this family health history tool to keep track of the diseases that run in your family. Share the information with your doctor or nurse.
Ask about ways to lower your risk.
All women can take steps to lower their risk for breast or ovarian cancer. Ask your doctor for advice. You can also learn more at these websites:
- Breast cancer risk factors
- Ovarian cancer risk factors
What about cost?
The Affordable Care Act – the health care reform law passed in 2010 – covers these services for women at higher risk of getting breast cancer:
- Counseling about BRCA genetic testing
- Counseling about breast cancer chemoprevention
Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get counseling at no cost to you. Check with your insurance provider to find out what's included in your plan.
For information about other services covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
Make a list of questions for the doctor.
You may want to ask your doctor or a genetic counselor these questions:
- Based on my family's health history, do you recommend genetic testing?
- What are my chances of having a mutated (changed) gene that could increase my risk for cancer?
- Besides mutated genes, what else can increase my risk for breast and ovarian cancer?
- What types of cancer screenings are recommended if I decide not to do genetic testing?
- If I get a genetic test, who will be able to see my test results?
Take this list of questions about genetic testing to your next doctor's appointment.
Think about how you may feel.
If you are thinking about genetic testing for breast or ovarian cancer, first think about what you will learn and how the results will affect you and your family.
Here are some questions to think about:
- If I get tested, will I be more worried about getting sick?
- Will I share the test results with my spouse or partner? My children? Family and friends? How will they react to the news?
- Are my children ready to learn new information that may one day affect their health?
You and your doctor can decide whether genetic counseling and testing makes sense for you. But whatever you decide, remember that all women still need regular cancer screenings and checkups.
Get tested for breast cancer.
If you are age 50 to 74, get tested for breast cancer every 2 years. If you are age 40 to 49, talk with your doctor about when and how often to get tested.
Get your well-woman visit.
Get a well-woman visit every year. Use this visit to talk with your doctor or nurse about important screenings and services to help you stay healthy.

Courageous Judge Stands Up for Little Tobacco
A federal judge ruled today that a mandate requiring tobacco companies to place on their products graphic images illustrating the dangers of smoking was in violation of free speech.
In other words: no picture of a dude jamming a cig through his tracheotomy hole is going to deter you from getting that sweet, sweet nicotine rush.
The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act passed in 2009 would have required various written warnings/bummers, like "Cigarettes are addictive" and "Tobacco smoke causes harm to children," to appear on all tobacco packaging, accompanied by such graphic images as a corpse, a smoker's lung, and a sad baby.
Judge Richard L. Leon wrote that the government's proposal overstepped legal bounds, as the new requirements were
"neither designed to protect the consumer from confusion or deception, nor to increase consumer awareness of smoking risks; rather, they were crafted to evoke a strong emotional response calculated to provoke the viewer to quit or never start smoking.
Although an interest in informing or educating the public about the dangers of smoking might be compelling, an interest in simply advocating that the public not purchase a legal product is not."
The Justice Department is expected to appeal the ruling.
In a related story, it was found that everybody else's tobacco is poisonous. Lucky Strike's is toasted.

And for her, it's not about being popular, neither is it about outward beauty. She is on a mission to show that confidence is key.
The Nigerian-American student has always been very active in her community and schools. And it was perseverance that led her to many leadership roles.
"I was often teased growing up because of my background, my skin color and my weight," she said. "I was made to feel inferior and often felt ugly and ashamed of myself."
Amid the tough school atmosphere, her father passed away when she was only nine years old, leaving her to feel even more alone.
As the years passed, Ukwubiwe, who was born Ashley Chioma Ukwubiwe, recognized her musical talent and when accepted into Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Bayside, she witnessed a big change in herself and in the way people treated her.
Her personality and active participation as a ninth-grader garnered her the title of secretary of Cardozo, where she served as one of the student leaders for over 4,000 students.
The following year, she entered a modeling program. "I believe that really changed my perspective on what my life could turn out to be," she said.
She began to work with Shortstack Modeling Agency, an organization promoting the use of petite models in the fashion industry, and fell head over in heels in love with the industry. That year, she also became her school's vice president.
"I was no longer the 'ugly, fat African girl,'" she said.
As a child, she often urged her parents to put her in gymnastics, vocal, acting, dance and cheerleading classes. She never once thought of beauty pageants. "I had dreamed of entering many professional fields, but I never thought that pageants would be a stepping stone," she said.
Now, she is hoping that if she wins the Miss New York Teen USA competition, she can go on to be Miss Teen USA. Through both roles, she hopes to inspire many girls to be aware of their "absolute" beauty, worth and strength.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent," said Ukwubiwe. "As long as one takes a stand against their defamations, they will be able to conquer the world and achieve all their dreams."

2015 NBA Mock DraftBelow are the first five selections in Kevin Hanson's 2015 NBA Mock Draft:
1. Minnesota Timberwolves: Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Kentucky
More of a well-rounded prospect than Duke's Jahlil Okafor, once considered a lock for the top pick, Towns has become the consensus option for Minnesota based on the mock drafts in our database. And it makes plenty of sense.
No team allowed more points per game than Minnesota (106.5/G) last season and Towns ranked first in the nation in both Defensive Rating (78.1) and Win Shares Per 40 Minutes (.311), per Sports Reference. Averaging just 21.1 minutes per game last year, Towns averaged 19.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per 40 minutes and shot 81.3 percent from the free-throw line.
2. Los Angeles Lakers: Jahlil Okafor, C, Duke
Okafor is a skilled back-to-the-basket player on the offensive end of the court that averaged 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game as he led Duke to a national championship -- over Towns and Kentucky -- as a freshman. The only Lakers currently under contract beyond next season are Julius Randle, last year's first-round pick, and Nick Young although three players including Jordan Clarkson will be restricted free agents in 2016.
3. Philadelphia 76ers: D'Angelo Russell, PG, Ohio State
The best-case scenario for the Sixers in the NBA Draft Lottery was the No. 1, 6 and 11 picks, but instead they ended up with the most-likely scenario of only the third pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. That also means that the Sixers will go into the 2016 NBA Draft with the possibility of having four first-round picks.
The Sixers got nothing out of their two first-round picks -- Joel Embiid and Elfrid Payton, subsequently traded for Dario Saric -- last year and it's possible that they may get nothing from them this upcoming season as well. Not only will Saric stay in Turkey, but Embiid's foot is not healing as fast as expected and there's the potential that he misses another season if he has surgery once again.
Compared to a month ago when most believed this pick would be either Russell or Emmanuel Mudiay, it will likely come down to Russell or Latvia's Kristaps Porzingis. With the ability to facilitate for others or create his own offense, Russell averaged 19.3 points, 5.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game while knocking down 41.1 percent of his three-pointers as a freshman in Columbus.
4. New York Knicks: Kristaps Porzingis, PF, Latvia
Only 19 years old (turns 20 in August), Porzingis is a skilled seven-footer that has drawn some comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol. As his Sevilla teammate Derrick Byars said, "Kristaps has a Nowitzki-like offensive skill set. He's 7-1, can shoot, can put the ball on the floor, can block shots, he's mobile and athletic. There's not much he can't do on the floor."
5. Orlando Magic: Mario Hezonja, SG/SF, Croatia
With three lottery picks in the past two drafts, the Magic have added three elite defenders -- Victor Oladipo, Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton (via Philly). That said, the Magic were just 27th in the league in Offensive Rating (99.6).
Hezonja has excellent size (6-8) and athleticism to attack the basket but he also possesses outstanding range. And it's clear that Hezonja does not lack confidence.

2015 NBA Draft Results


text: One of the most acclaimed female country singers of the late '80s and '90s, Suzy Bogguss was able to balance country tradition with a contemporary mainstream sensibility, thereby satisfying both audiences and critics. Bogguss was born in Aledo, IL, in 1956, and began singing in her church choir at age five. Encouraged by her parents, she learned piano and drums as a child, and took up guitar as a teenager. While studying art at Illinois State University, she performed in local coffee houses and clubs, and after graduating in 1980, she hit the road, playing wherever she could find a gig around the Midwest, Northeast, and even parts of Canada. She moved to Nashville in 1985 and worked as a demo singer while playing in clubs by night; she later took a job singing at the Dollywood theme park and sold tapes of her own music, one of which got her signed to Liberty/Capitol when a label executive heard it. Bogguss released her first singles in 1987, and her debut album, Somewhere Between, appeared the following year. It received hugely positive reviews for blending country's past and present, and featured covers of Patsy Montana's "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" and Merle Haggard's "Somewhere Between," and also produced a decent-sized hit in "Cross My Broken Heart." The 1990 follow-up, Moment of Truth, took Bogguss in a more polished direction, but failed to break her to a wider audience. That all changed with 1991's gold-selling Aces, which spun off a total of four hit singles: "Someday Soon," "Letting Go," "Outbound Plane," and the title track (the latter three all made the country Top Ten). Bogguss was now a star, and her 1992 follow-up, Voices in the Wind -- a more pop-oriented effort -- brought the highest-charting hit of her career in the number two cover of John Hiatt's "Drive South"; it also became her second straight gold album. 1993's Somethin' Up My Sleeve gave her two additional Top Five hits in "Just Like the Weather" and "Hey Cinderella." For her next outing, 1994's Simpatico, Bogguss took something of a left turn, cutting a charmingly low-key album of duets with guitar legend Chet Atkins; she also released a greatest-hits collection that year. Bogguss took a bit of time off to start a family with her husband and songwriting partner, Doug Crider, and returned in 1996 with Give Me Some Wheels, which proved a commercial disappointment. The same was true of 1998's Nobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt, and Bogguss subsequently parted ways with Capitol and signed on with the smaller Platinum label. Her label debut, Suzy Bogguss (aka It's a Perfect Day), failed to reverse her downward sales spiral. In 2003, after a brief hiatus, Bogguss returned to the airwaves with Swing, a stylish collection of pop, jazz, and swing tunes from the likes of Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and Duke Ellington, followed by the holiday set Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas later that year. In 2007 she released a collection of all new tunes, Sweet Danger, on the Loyal Dutchess label. No longer on the major-label carousel, Bogguss used Kickstarter to finance her self-released next album, Lucky -- a set of Merle Haggard songs -- that appeared seven years later in 2014. ~ Steve Huey

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
The- the- the reason that I'm breathin'
Seeping heat, it gets me cheese, why I'm eaten in Bad Season
Was deep in beef and was needing some beats to release in evenings
Instead of me being up and bleeding with thieves and heathens with keys and obstacles
Made it possible for the flow go to be profitable
Yo Tech's audible, his inaugural prada popped and was plausible
God is so good for giving me music!
Liftin', gettin' me through when I was fixing to lose it
Dudes hit Big Scoob's shit and reppin' the blue tip
Fool's skipped when Scoob scritch, we jumped in the 2 whip
Full clips for who stick the homie for true grit
My crew, thanks to music, we all living through it
Got me out of the ghetto, got me mucho dinero
In Cozumel, Mexico shorts and Jordans and a sombrero
This gift ain't given from a devil, so settle
Come and get this rebel music that's hot as a kettle, pendejo
Saved my life, paid my lights, made my wife, say "Bye Bye"
Gave my night babes, I like preyed my mic
Would never fade, forever slayed, days I write
My cheddar raised up better, faze way high hyped
My music's one reason I always get to lay my pipe
The reason Tech N9na can comfortably say "Night, night"
Blessed me with original flow, so hey! Why bite?
I hear, I feel, I live, listen and learn
I like...
[Hook: Krizz Kaliko]
(I love music)
Yeah, I love (I love music)
For real (I love music)
And I need (I love music)
To feel (I love music)
Go and play it (I love music)
Yeah, know what I'm saying? (I love music)
My love (I love music)
Know what I'm saying?
[Verse 2: Oobergeek]
Automatic when I do this manually
Daily, monthly, annually
I get a step closer to being the coolest
Acoustic got me foolin' and about to lose it, ooh, sh-
Jump in the grind, and my hom' Mean Mike produced it
That's music pahtna
I'm just a poet with incredible rhythm
Words arranged will let you know he has incredible in him
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but toot toot, ha ha
I laugh because it's easier than do ray mi fa sol la
Ti do, we know he go say what on that C Note
And he can pay a C Note with that B Note
I'm talkin' truth
And I got stories that I show you that it's walkin proof
A thousand miles of it and I can show you what I'm walkin' through
Music ain't a hobby, it's an organ of my body that the creator provided back in January of '92
So don't you dare say good music skipped my generation
Your hatin' ain't nothin' but motivation for these compilations
[Hook: Krizz Kaliko]
(I love music)
Yeah, it feeds me (I love music)
I need (I love music)
To feel (I love music)
You know what I'm sayin' (I love music)
It's my thing (I love music)
Go and sing (I love music)
And I love (I love music)
Yeah, go ahead
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Music is my life
The reason why I write
Like Edgar Allan Poe on the beat, like a parasite
You thought a parachute made my flow just fall out the sky
Then you fell apart into a body part no one would buy
Nobody tried my limits 'cause they're afraid of heights
The ambition, weak or gravity, let 'em die
I let you live until a nigga compose a rhyme
Then it's like a rhino in your ass every time
Time and time again I treat my pen like The Pen
Bars harder than Pelican Bay and I been
Servin' a life sentence since the day I was ten
Nine times outta ten you only ten songs deep before you leap
Into a pool of sharks then swim
That's an analogy on the way I do casualties
And I do this shit casually, before the verse end
I'll be in the Hall of Fame with my picture framed, friend
[Bridge: Krizz Kaliko]
And if it wasn't for my music I wouldn't be standing here!
If it wasn't for my music you wouldn't have nothing to hear, yeah
And I love...
[Hook: Krizz Kaliko]
(I love music)
I need it to live (I love music)
[?] (I love music)
Yeah, and I love it (I love music)
I'mma be quiet (I love music)
And I love it (I love music)
Show enough love (I love music)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Outro: Tech N9ne]
Wake up!!!
In this song Tech N9ne, Kendrick Lamar and Oobergeek express thier love for music and how music has saved their lives. Without music they would most likely be out on the streets in poverty or in gangs.

ANOTHER VIEW: Real IRS scandal is how much power it has
Republicans on Capitol Hill are abuzz with the possibility that the scandal at the Internal Revenue Service will lead to tax reform. Media strategist Frank Luntz is advising them to harness public outrage to reach this goal.
This path will dead-end. Republican tax-reform plans remain vague, because that's the way they stay popular. And the leading Republican tax-reform ideas have no real relation to the facts of the scandal. Republicans generally want to broaden the tax base, lower rates and reduce the number of brackets. The IRS could have harassed conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status -- the core of the current scandal -- even if we did all of these things with a flat tax.
Conservatives disliked it when Democrats responded to the massacre in Newtown, Conn., by proposing gun regulations that wouldn't have done anything to stop it, and that disconnection is one reason the regulations didn't have enough political momentum to pass. That example should make Republicans think twice about using the IRS scandal to flatten taxes.
Some conservatives would like to get rid of the corporate- income tax, which actually would prevent such a scandal from happening again. Republicans have enough political sense, though, not to propose that. So the default response is continued vagueness: They're saying we should "abolish the IRS" without noting that they would almost certainly have to create another large, intrusive tax-collection agency to replace it.
Republicans had a better response to the last round of IRS scandals, in the 1990s. In 1997, congressional hearings revealed that IRS agents were being pressured to meet quotas for back taxes and penalties. Agents, sometimes anonymously, admitted that these quotas had led aggressive collectors to squeeze taxpayers for money they didn't really owe.
A bipartisan commission recommended reforms to rein in such practices. The Clinton administration resisted some of the recommendations, but many of them ultimately became law in 1998.
Sen. Rob Portman, the Ohio Republican who helped lead the commission as a member of the House back then, points out that these reforms played a role in uncovering today's scandals. The 1998 law created an inspector general within the Treasury Department to police the IRS for abusive practices, and it was a report from this office on the targeting of conservative groups that brought the latest scandal to light. "You could argue that we would know nothing about this if not for the law," Portman told me.
The earlier IRS scandals produced useful reforms partly because the Republicans who did the most to publicize them weren't focused on pinning the blame on President Bill Clinton. They instead wanted to demonstrate the dangers of letting the federal government have too much power, and in finding ways to reduce those dangers.
We could use a congressional investigation with the same spirit today. The targeting scandal has led to other troubling revelations about the IRS. The Taxpayer Advocate of the U.S. has, for example, reported that a whopping 69 percent of people who claimed the adoption tax credit for 2012 were audited -- even though most of the returns were clean. (The IRS hasn't disputed these facts.)
And news reports have suggested that the IRS may have targeted a broad range of conservatives -- individuals as well as organizations -- for audits. One conservative writer, Anne Hendershott, has accused the IRS of singling her out for political reasons. Even if that speculation is incorrect, the details of the story she tells -- that an IRS agent summoned her to a meeting and forbade her from bringing her husband -- point to the possibility that some IRS practices still need reform.
Why, for example, should the agency be trying to predict whether new tax-exempt organizations will comply with the law? Brett Kappel, a lawyer at Arent Fox's political-law group, says it shouldn't: "A better approach is to do away with this asking for permission in advance." The IRS should confine itself to checking whether groups already in operation have in fact followed the rules.

CHICAGO — At nearly 33 million, U.S. Hispanics of legal drinking age (LDA) are important adult beverage consumers, and their influence will expand rapidly.
By 2015, Hispanics will account for 15 percent of the total U.S. LDA population. By 2045, one-quarter of the U.S. LDA population will be Hispanic, according to the Special Trends in Adult Beverage (TAB) Report: Hispanic Consumer Insights just released by Technomic.
"Hispanics are an extremely important demographic group for the adult beverage industry, and many of their preferences and purchase habits are different from the general population," observes Donna Hood Crecca, Senior Director at Technomic. "Currently, the LDA Hispanic population skews young and male, and strongly favor beer, tequila and red wine. Similar to the general population, they value variety and competitive pricing when purchasing adult beverages, but they buy them in a broader range of retail outlets. They enjoy adult beverages frequently, but consume more drinks and spend more per occasion than the general population, whether at a restaurant or bar or at home."
To help adult beverage suppliers, marketers and operators better anticipate and meet the evolving needs of Hispanic consumers, Technomic added the new report to its Trends in Adult Beverage (TAB) series. Interesting learnings include:
- Latinos most frequently buy adult beverages at liquor and wine stores (48 percent). However, they are more likely than the overall population to purchase at other types of retail outlets such as convenience stores (19 percent vs. 14 percent).
- Hispanics are more likely than the broader population to have purchased adult beverages online (17 percent vs. 11 percent) in the past year.
- Casual-dining restaurants are frequented by Hispanics, but among them, English-dominant (36 percent) and bilingual (38 percent) consumers are more likely to order adult beverages during their visit than Spanish-dominant (27 percent) consumers, and are also more likely to try new adult beverages in on-premise locations.
- Beer—particularly imported beer—is the top adult beverage choice for Hispanic consumers. Mexican beer is more preferred by Hispanics (85 percent) than general consumers (70 percent) when ordering drinks in restaurants and bars.
- Hispanics overindex on red wine varieties in restaurants and bars compared with the general population, particularly red blends (41 percent vs. 28 percent).
Technomic's Special Trends in Adult Beverage (TAB) Report: Hispanic Consumer Insights provides comprehensive research on this important and growing customer base, organized into three major sections:
Portrait of the U.S. Hispanic Consumer ÔöÇ Examines Hispanic consumer demographics, culture and lifestyle.
Hispanic Consumer Adult Beverage Insights ÔöÇ Measures the behaviors, preferences and attitudes of Hispanic consumers relative to adult-beverage purchase and consumption.
Outlook and Opportunities ÔöÇ Explores how Hispanic consumer trends and behaviors will shape the adult beverage industry.

During my adult lifetime, I have been everything from a size 6 to a size 22. After years of up and down and not liking crowded closets, I have settled on having rubbermaids labeled 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and I used to have 18, but I got rid of it last year. For ever!!!
While I have not gotten back to my weight lifting and aerobic exercise routine I had before my heart problems came up, I am serious about how I eat. After open heart surgery, I found out I was one of the 26.9 % of people who develop Type II diabetes. During 2009, I laid off of sweets, to a large degree, and went even lower on salt than I already was. I cut out red meat, for the most part. My doctor told me that it will not kill me to eat a piece of cake for my birthday and I have occasionally done so. Did I mention that I have three official birthdays a year?
Then, I found out that my heart surgery had failed and I had 70% blockage in a vein at the entry point to my heart. I am no longer a candidate for further open heart surgery, so I decided to go vegan.
First, let me say, in no way has this been an easy battle. The first two months of a plant based diet seemed to be the magical formula. I lost two pounds a week, but was continually hungry and never satisfied. It's the same plant based, no oil diet that President Clinton went on after his heart problem. Only thing is, I do not have a chef to make the food taste good and the creator of the diet has the wierdest taste buds on earth. He puts sweet potatoes or sweet squash in everything, along with about 26 more ingrediants) and frankly only sweet and sour chicken is a sweet/sour mix I like.
I am now eating Vegetarian and hoping to work my way back to Vegan. With the help of three cholesterol busters (medications) and my no meat diet (and there is the very, very occasional hamburger out) I have reduced my clogging from 70% to 50%. You can do that.
Now, if I can just get my body back on the treadmill and weight bench, I can maybe get some of those rubbermaids emptied out to Good Will.
Bon Appetite!

First, two questions:Lloyd wrote:Frozen Mammoth Questions
.... But what could have caused the temperature in the Arctic then to suddenly go below -150 F, the temperature needed to flash freeze them and prevent mammoth stomach contents from beginning to digest or rot? Also, what made the Arctic muck and loess and ice pellets that killed some or most of them? The muck contains a lot of smashed tree and animal parts.
1) Are Mammoths tropical or arctic animals?
2) Where are the trees that the Mammoths were eating from?

Blasphemy! But, with the kiss descending on the UK for the first time, that's exactly what some Brits are saying.
Look: no one's claiming American candy bars are as good as Cadbury's. Most of us will happily cede you the chocolate crown. And nobody I know would be anything but politely enthusiastic about getting some huge novelty pack of Hershey's kisses as a holiday gift. But most of us will happily pick one out of a free candy-dish, or pop a few come Valentine's Day.
Not so the Guardian's Emma Sturgess, who describes these "conical filth bombs" as possessing "a piquant background flavour of something faintly sour, cheesy, or overripe, what chocolate experts call a 'barnyard' taste," "all the flavour notes of regurgitated milk" and, most damning Britishism of all, "hints of ming." Commenters chime in to liken the flavor to vomit, packaged parmesan cheese and diarrhea.
They also kind of taste like foil! And the little flag has got to be, along with the backs of Sally Hansen waxing strips and bits of dried clementine peel, some of the most annoying things in the trash kingdom. And yet...I kind of like them. Is this purely the power of familiarity? I'm not even going to get into a war of comfort foods with a nation who eats "salad cream," not least because Hershey's Kisses are by no means the major American "thing" this article presupposes, but I will say in their defense: Hugs are kind of delicious and those streetlights in Hershey are just plain cool.

A Dallas woman who allegedly was distracted by Facebook has been charged after a 3-year-old girl she was babysitting drowned in a pool.
Kanyce Giddings drowned June 22 at an apartment complex pool.
Police say Kariasa Thomas, 37, took Giddings and some older children to the pool at her apartment complex pool after it had officially closed. She told police that she knew Giddings could not swim and told her to stay near the steps of the pool.
The latest news from around North Texas.
According to a police affidavit, Thomas told police she used her phone to log on to Facebook and played with her dog while the children were in the water.
About 15 minutes later, a Dallas police officer told Thomas the pool was closed and that she and the children had to leave. Giddings' body was then discovered in the pool.
Dallas County jail records show Thomas is being held on a charge of reckless injury to a child.
The girl's father, Derrick Giddings, said he feels the charge should be upgraded. The drowning wasn't a simple accident, and his daughter suffered while drowning, he said.
Derrick Giddings said he spoke to Thomas for the last time before she was arrested.
"If she was right here, I wouldn't want to say nothing to her because, in the back of my mind, what I'm thinking and what I want to do -- I would be in trouble, too, so I wouldn't say nothing," he said. "I don't even want to talk to her. ... My last words was to her, 'I forgive you,' because that's what I'm supposed to do. That's it. I don't never want to talk to her no more."
Thomas was booked Saturday with bond set at $25,000. No attorney could immediately be located for her Wednesday.
Thomas' family declined to comment.

Hundreds of military personnel were all united in that day's mission – bringing joy to one courageous kid.
Andrew often wears camouflage idolizing the courageous men and women who serve in the armed forces. A six-year-old diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the strength of these dedicated people is an inspiration while living with the challenges of this critical illness.
The Make-A-Wish® team knew they had to grant this boy's wish to help him thrive through his treatments. They contacted all four branches of the U.S. military, active, Reserve & National Guard, who worked together to give Andrew an incredible day among their ranks.
When Andrew and his family report to March Air Reserve Base - only 30 minutes away from their home - the Air Force personnel make Andrew feel like a part of the crew. They give him a flight suit, helmet and helmet bag. They even pin aviator's wings onto his uniform, so he's ready to aim high.
They visit the Falcons, who keep the runway cleared of smaller birds. Then they take a tour of a C-17 transport plane, which was stopping at March on a training mission from Travis Air Force Base.
Next up, the Few, the Proud: the Marines. Andrew meets a detachment of Marines bound for Camp Pendleton in Southern California. The Marines give Andrew a uniform fitted just for him and make him honorary Sergeant Major. This stirs jokes among the Marines saying Andrew's only been there for five minutes, but has more ranks than they'd received in 10 years.
The Army and Navy are eager to meet Andrew as well. One long-serving soldier is so pleased to meet the wish kid that he gives Andrew a collection of coins and medals he collected over nearly 40 years.
The Navy also decks Andrew in uniform and lets him sit in the captain's chair of a rigid-hulled inflatable boat. Then the Navy Sea Cadets show off their "armory" and let Andrew target practice their computerized shooting range.
"He was just having fun," said his mom, Diane, about a boy who deserved a joyful break away from the worry of his treatments.
Andrew even gets to see all the military hardware up-close. He sees everything from a supersonic F-16 fighter to a huge KC-135 airborne tanker. He climbs inside and loves taking a look around. Though he can't go in, the unmanned Predator also fascinates Andrew.
Andrew hosts show him inside fire trucks, military police cars and a super cool Humvee. But then it's time to return to civilian life.
Hundreds of military personnel took part in Andrew's wish. And no matter what uniform they wore, they were all united in that day's mission – bringing joy to one courageous kid. Andrew will always remember the dedicated people he met that day.
It was nice. I didn't think they'd do that much for him. Then I cried!

It's always the simplest gestures that can really make someones day.

May GOD continue to Bless Andrew and his family in all that they do. Keep the Faith. There really are a lot of good people in this world.

This is so amazing. This foundation does incredible things for kids. I am simply blown away by what they go through and put up with. This day is so special for them, and I just love watching them have their wish come true.

That was so inspiring for Andrew. He's a lovely little boy. God Bless him always.

You are so brave and strong!!

As a family member to quite a few active military members, this wish touched my heart. Make-A-Wish has a far reaching impact on not only the incredibly brave children faced with a very difficult reality, but also on those they ask to participate in granting wishes to help those children escape that reality for a little while. The good that this organization spreads in the world really has no end and will have my support for as long as it is needed.
February 16, 2014 - 7:11 PM
We had so much fun this day. I was amazed and touched by all the military personnel who were involved and made Andrew's day so unforgettable!!! I love our military personnel, but what they did was over and beyond! Amazing wish for and amazing child...

Wow, this story hits home due to the fact both my father and I are in the military. It shows you that there are kids fighting for their lives and all they want to do is what very few in our country are willing to take oath and commit to. What an awesome and brave young boy. May God continue to bless you Andrew.

Im the mom of four boys that md it was nice what they did for us my sons were so happy to see many things there thank you from the vertigan family 😄😂
January 27, 2015 - 4:06 PM
This is absolutely amazing! It's really nice to see the impact of the wish being granted for each kid and it's amazing that so many people can help make them come true! This little boy is truly an inspiration!

Learning & Growing
Life is great. You have your Little Pnut and all you want to do is stare into his beautiful eyes, glance longingly at his face as he sleeps and cuddle with him when he's awake. He is the ultimate of perfection and you know it.
His first year is for achieving all of those wonderful and magical milestones that you read about and each of those milestones will guide your Little Pnut into becoming an amazing young man or woman one day. You as his parent, have all the tools to set your Little Pnut up for a lifetime of success, simply by being there for him and helping him learn about his world and how to experience it to the fullest. Right now is the perfect time to start getting him excited about learning, teaching him how to use his imagination and inspire his creativity. All of this wonderful learning can be done through your interaction with him at playtime.
The first 3 months of your Little Pnuts life is truly all about learning about the senses. Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling. He is developing each of these five senses every minute of each day. Strengthening his eye muscles as he stares lovingly into your eyes, listening as you whisper his name softly and feeling your hands gently caressing that baby soft skin of his. The world he knows gets bigger and brighter every day through each of these senses.
Months 3-6 are all about experiencing the senses. Your Little Pnut is seeing things up close and in color, hearing and being able to distinguish sounds, smelling new things more closely, tasting different flavors by putting things in their mouth and touching everything around them. It is through these senses that they experience and learn about the world around them.
Months 6-9 are all about interacting with the senses. Your Little Pnut is now able to hold onto things and bring them closer to look at them more inquisitively, shaking things to see if they make noise. He can now touch the textures and feel the curves and straight edges of an object putting them in their mouths to interact with them more intimately. He may even have started crawling and getting into everything. You may start introducing solid foods now with even more tastes and textures. His little world is expanding and his experiences within his world are only making it more fun to discover.
Months 9-12 are about further perfecting your Little Pnuts interaction with his senses. Crawling around pulling on things pushing things, trying to pull himself up. His gross motor skills and fine motor skills are being further perfected allowing his senses to control how he observes and interacts with the world. He is loving the learning and growing that his little body and mind is allowing. He is beginning to push the limits, trying everything, experimenting with everything and investigating everything. Each day his environment further blossoms, allowing him to continue on a journey to learn something new.
It's a bright and beautiful world for your Little Pnut, introduce it to him!
