The mid-autumn festival is underway in Hanoi's Old Quarter with numerous activities organised to serve people, especially children.
The festival kicked off at the Old Quarter's Information Centre, 50 Dao Duy Tu Street, on September 23 with an exhibition of cardboard toys by painter Nguyen Phan Bach.
The exhibition displays photos and documents featuring traditional mid-autumn festivals in the Old Quarter in the past.
The centre also hosts puppetry performances by artists from Te Tieu village on Friday and Saturday nights.
The festival's opening ceremony attracted many students in Hoan Kiem district, including 11-year-old Hoang Anh Tuan.
"Painter Bach instructed us to make cardboard toys, and he allows us to paint on them with our favourite colours," Tuan said. "How funny, as each one of us chooses a different colour to paint on Bach's cardboard horse. When we finish, it appears so colourful."
Tuan added that he loves to make traditional toys and join the lantern parade during the mid-autumn festival.
From now until September 27, children can visit Kim Ngan Temple on Hang Bac street and learn how to make traditional toys and masks.
Also known as the full moon festival, the mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. This year, it falls on Sunday (September 27). In Vietnam, this festival is primarily for children, who are the centre of activities.
While the main celebration is organised on the full moon day, many entertainment activities are held in the days leading up it. Children take glee in preparing their costumes, masks and lanterns for the parade, often spending weeks or even a month getting ready for the event.
Traditionally, during the night of the festival, children parade on the streets, singing with colourful lanterns shaped like butterflies, fish and stars in their hands. Another popular lantern includes den keo quan (a lantern which spins around with vivid, rotating paper-cut figures), symbolising the seasonal spinning of the earth around the sun.
Before or after the parade, parents prepare for their children a lavish tray of fruits and moon cakes called co Trung Thu, which they savour together while admiring the full moon.
The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology has made a commitment in recent years to offer children traditional mid-autumn festival events. Many foreign, imported toys and games have been applied to the mid-autumn festival, which some consider to be a decline in traditional values and the festival's identity.
This year, the museum's festival theme is Can Tho Culture, according to An Thu Tra, the museum's officer.
"Together with traditional games and activities, each year, we want to introduce visitors and children to an identity of a location or an ethnic group that helps them improve their knowledge and experience new things," she said.
In addition to traditional activities, children will also have an opportunity to learn about the culture of the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho through games, dance and food.
Artist Nguyen Van Quyen from Thanh Oai district has come to the museum for the past nine years to teach children how to make den keo quan. It takes one day to finish one den keo quan. He sells each lantern for 150,000 VND (7 USD).
His house is 25km away from the museum, a long ride for him by motorbike. However, Quyen said he wants to inspire children to love traditional toys.
"The festival falls on Sunday, but the activities to celebrate it have been held at the museum one week before," Quyen said. "Every day, I receive many visitors, especially children. I'm so happy that they are eager to learn how to make the lantern."
The mid-autumn festival is also celebrated nationwide. More than 100 artists from Hoi An city make 3,000 colourful lanterns to decorate the main streets in Da Nang city.
The streets of HCM City will also be lit up from the lanterns. Luong Nhu Hoc street is expected to draw many visitors and tourists with its splendid display of lanterns.-VNA

After returning to Chinese sovereignty nearly 20 years ago, only one third of those between 18 and 29 years old think of themselves as being Chinese, according to a survey that has been periodically conducted by Hong Kong University (HKU) during the past 20 years. The number of Hong Kong youth who do not want to be associated with the Chinese communist government is at record low levels in recent years.
Zhou Ke-Ai was born in 1997. When she was 11 years old, the 2008 Beijing Olympic games made quite an impact on her. She was awed by the 48 gold medals won by Chinese athletes. That made her proud to be Chinese. In 2014, Zhou was arrested for participating in the umbrella revolution in Hong Kong. When asked if she considers herself to be Chinese now, her answer is a definite no.
According to Yahoo News, this year the HKU survey interviewed 10 young people who were born in 1997. Nine were born in Hong Kong and one was an immigrant from Mainland China. All of them considered themselves to be Hongkongers and felt more passionate about Hong Kong than China.
Young people in Hong Kong are offended by the Chinese communist regime. Police were sent to Hong Kong to secretly arrest bookshop owners. Three were imprisoned in Mainland China because they sold books about the inside story of the Chinese Communist Party.
The Communist Party has already eroded the rule of law in Hong Kong to some degree. These incidents affirm the attitude of young people against the Chinese communist government. They don't want to be known as citizens of Mainland China.
The news reports that more and more young people like Zhou are willing to join in campaigns to fight for democracy. They call for China to live up to its promise of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" so that a true universal suffrage can be realized in Hong Kong.

Freshmen impress Eastern Michigan football coach Ron English
Wide receivers and some new faces have impressed Eastern Michigan football coach Ron English after just 10 practices.
English, talking with EMU assistant director of media relations Greg Steiner, offered his first impressions of the Eagles, who are coming off a 2-10 season and entering their third season with English.
"The receivers are really playing well," English told Steiner. "We have some numbers there. I really like the freshmen; they're good players. Just playing so much faster, the receivers, with a lot more confidence, and they know what they're doing."
English singled out former high school teammates Darius Scott and Demarius Reed, both from Chicago's Simeon Academy, as freshmen who have already impressed him.
Freshmen tight ends Dylan Brooks (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) and Tyreese Russell (6-3, 216) also stand out to English.
"They're getting better every single day," English said. "And they're going to be big kids, they really are."
English has mixed some two-a-days into his practices and he expects to have a few more this week, and he likes that they are a challenge to his players.
"I do think there is still some merit to two-a-days," English said. "Because it's hard to come out here the second practice. Their bodies are sore. And their minds are sore, if you will."

'Roseanne' Reruns Pulled From Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT After Racist Tweet
After a racist tweet by Roseanne Barr that created an outcry online, reruns of the Roseanne revival scheduled to air on Viacom networks Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT will be pulled from their respective schedules.
Roseanne reruns will be canceled on the three channels starting Wednesday, a Viacom spokesperson said.
Later on Tuesday a Hulu spokesperson also confirmed that the streaming platform would be dropping the show, writing, "We support ABC's decision and are removing the show from Hulu."
The Laff broadcast network Tuesday announced that it would be dropping reruns of the original series, which ran from 1988-97 on ABC. "While we believe viewers have always distinguished the personal behavior of the actress Roseanne Barr from the television character Roseanne Connor, we are disgusted by Barr's comments this week. Therefore, we are removing the original Roseanne series from the Laff schedule for the time being, effective immediately," Laff said in a statement.
Barr on Tuesday morning ignited outrage online when she wrote, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj," seemingly referencing Valerie Jarrett, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama. In the wake of the comments, Roseanne writer and consulting producer Wanda Sykes tweeted that she was leaving the show; ABC canceled the sitcom; and Barr's talent agency, ICM, dropped her as a client. ABC also scrapped the "For Your Consideration" Emmy campaign for the series in the wake of the tweet.
Before her show was canceled Tuesday, Barr tweeted, "I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste." She also wrote, as she has done before, that she was leaving Twitter.
Also Tuesday, Jarrett said during an MSNBC town hall that she hoped the outcry would be "a teaching moment."
Amazon still has SVOD rights to seasons one through nine of the original series.

Free Telling in the Total Space?—On the Procedures of Power in the Asylum Procedure and Their Relevance for Biographical Interviews of Refugees
Based on a research project with migrants from Iran this paper focuses on the influence of a strictly regulated German asylum life situation on autobiographical telling in research contexts. Regardless of the specific research topic the interview situation and the relationship between interviewer and interviewee always influence shape, form and fashion of the biographical narration. As a result of the strict regimentation of the asylum procedures and their far-reaching impact on biographies in the "total refugee space," an intensification of the hierarchical structure in the interview situation can be observed. Considering the empirical results this paper calls for a reflexive biographical research. This approach has to analyze the power relations in the transnational space and their consequences on the research process. It also has to recognize that researchers and interviewees are not only confined to their culture differences, but that the setting comprises all intersectional localizations, which are defined by social and economic status, nationality, gender, sexuality etc.

The Politics of Volunteering
Author(s): Nina Eliasoph
Many of us may have participated in grassroots groups, changing the world in small and big ways, from building playgrounds and feeding the homeless, to protesting wars and ending legal segregation. Beyond the obvious fruits of these activities, what are the broader consequences of volunteering for the participants, recipients of aid, and society as a whole? In this engaging new book, Nina Eliasoph encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences in civic associations as an entry point into bigger sociological, political, and philosophical issues, such as class inequality, how organizations work, differences in political systems around the globe, and the sources of moral selfhood. Claims about volunteering tend to be astronomical: it will create democracy, make you a better person, eliminate poverty, protect local cultures, and even lower cholesterol. Eliasoph cuts through these assertions by drawing on empirical studies, key data, real-life case studies, and a range of theoretical analyses. In doing so, the book provides students of sociology, political science, and communications studies with a framework for evaluating the role of civic associations in social and political life, as well as in their own lives as active citizens.
Product Information
"Amid the sea of muddled thinking about civil society and social policy, Nina Eliasoph's work shines like a beacon of clarity and rigor. This honest and nuanced account of the politics of volunteering marks a landmark contribution to the field." Michael Edwards, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Demos "With unerring aim, Nina Eliasoph punctures some of the most cherished myths about volunteerism. Yet, with sensitivity and compassion, she shows volunteers struggling to do good while coping with contradictions not of their own making. The result is a remarkable book that brings the concept of civil society to life in all its moral messiness." Francesca Polletta, University of California, Irvine " The Politics of Volunteering is a pleasure to read. Nina Eliasoph helps us to understand how civic associations based on volunteering are different from but overlap with civic associations devoted to political activism, and how each may be led to cross the boundary between them. In clarifying the landscape of our public life she helps us to see how a deeper look at the total picture can help us to be more effective in our public engagement. This is a valuable book for students but also for the many thousands of volunteers and activists in our midst." Robert Bellah, University of California, Berkeley
Nina Eliasoph is associate professor of sociology at the University of Southern California. Her previous books include Making Volunteers and Avoiding Politics .

Nice job on 3 Fingers Wrigley, I can't believe the site just completely blew by him! Though there will be plenty of talent not recognized, (Grover Pete Alexander, Chief Bender, Mickey Cochrane, Mantle, Hack in 30, and the $100,000 Infield of McInnis, was it Collins @ 2nd, Berry and Frank-Homerun-Baker! to mention just a small sampling). While the Big Train should be an automatic on any list, I have always been a fan of his 1925 20-7 season. Sure his 3.07 e.r.a. was high, (for him, though this was the dawn of the era of the batter), but he was 38, and his season batting average of .455 was, is, always will be, absolutely INF*&^%$#SANE! Methinks me will go play some Strat-O and listen to Jonathan Richmond.

Don't forget Bert Blyleven, you just have to take him! His 1973 season is great, but when your franchise also includes Walter Johnson, you ain't making too many lists. That's not a knock on Blyleven, but it's also the same reason that players like DiMaggio, McCovey, Rose and McGwire didn't make my list (coming soon).

"Automatic disqualification for looking only at the numbers and not the context under which they were garnered. (Some of those eras are a little questionable.)" Perhaps I don't understand the question, but if a person has a great single-season, doesn't that qualify for the single-season all-time team, regardless of the season? I guess I don't understand the criteria. "And for mentioning Armando Benitez in a game where we pick the greatest team of all time." Do you think I enjoyed that? It is what it is -- can you name five better relief seasons that don't match teams with my top hitters and SP's? I struggled to do so, but that isn't to say it can't be done.

And for mentioning Armando Benitez in a game where we pick the greatest team of all time. But he has six fingers. On one hand!
posted by lilnemo at 08:11 PM on December 05
To add, if I am on to your meaning when you refer to the "context under which they were garnered," does that mean I can't choose pitchers from the Dead Ball Era or pitching heavy seasons in the 1960s and 70s, or hitters from the Steroid Era? How exactly would you measure this "context?"
posted by BullpenPro at 08:16 PM on December 05
"But he has six fingers. On one hand!" I think you mean Antonio Alfonseca. He would have been just as painful to include on the list. Benitez did once have six fingerprints on his head after a scuffle with Darryl Strawberry.

Would anyone throw out Ruth, and substitute Mariano Rivera? Rivera would have to see a lot of guys "thrown out" before he pops up as my Yankee choice. Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Berra, DiMaggio, and then Rivera. There have been too many legendary players to skip them all to get to Rivera. If we are talking best playoff team, then Rivera moves into position #1. It's been an hour, and since I have'nt been blasted off of the site, am I ok? It's really hard to complain about a list like that. My only complaint is Bobby Thigpen getting a spot and Pedro Martinez being left off the list. I like the Eckersley choice, however, and wonder about trying to rework my list to include him...
posted by grum@work at 11:19 PM on December 05
Hey the guy had 57 saves that year. If we are talking single season greatness hard to leave him out of the bullpen. As far as Pedro goes, the guy is an all world starter but I was having a heck of a time finding relief pitchers so I went with Wettland from the Expos thinking the starting five I had was more than capable.
posted by Fade222 at 04:44 AM on December 06
Everything changes if you change Babe Ruth from a Yankee outfielder, to a Boston Red Sox pitcher. I say use him as your starting pitcher.

Then you lose Ted Williams for the sake of the next best Yankee.

Then you lose Ted Williams for the sake of the next best Yankee. Considering that the next best Yankee is Lou Gehrig, it doesn't seem too outrageous to me.

Fair enough, but you can find 90% of his production at 1B easier than . . . nah, that's not true: Stan Musial and Barry Bonds are both decent replacements. I'd go with Foxx over Gehrig and keep Ruth from the Yanks, personally.

If, for instance, you put Rogers Hornsby at 2nd - does he have to use his 1922 or 1928 glove in the field? I saw Rizzuto's shortstop glove, and it's little bigger than a golf glove with padding. I can't imagine what Hornsby's glove looks like.

Never seen Rizzuto's glove personally, when i played ss in highschool and jc i used the same glove i used when i was 12. It barely fit over my hand but you got the ball out of it really quick on the double play ball.

TOWIE's Billie Faiers Reveals 'I Didn't Care What I Looked Like In Labour'
The new mum and reality TV star speaks about her birth and introduces her baby girl in a magazine photo shoot
Every pregnant woman has her saviour products during labour. And for TOWIE's Billie Faiers, it was cooling mist spray – and a Spanish flamenco fan held by her sister Samantha.
The new mum, 24, who gave birth to her baby girl last Wednesday, has spoken about her experience and the role her TOWIE co-star sibling Sam played in supporting her.
'She was amazing and proved to be a complete natural as a midwife!' Billie tells this week's OK! magazine, where she and fiancé Greg Shepherd introduce their daughter, whose name they're yet to reveal.
'Samantha was amazing and proved to be a complete natural as a midwife!'
'She's been a birthing partner for one of our best friends twice, so she came in the room and was like a midwife. She started to massage my back and knew exactly what to do.'
Billie used hypnobirthing techniques – including picturing a beach in Maldives – as well as an injection of morphine and gas and air to get her through her 32-hour labour. And despite prepping to look as glam as possible, it was the last thing on her mind when she actually had her baby.
'It wasn't glamorous at all! There's a time and a place and that wasn't the time or the place! I didn't care about that once the labour started,' she says.
'Before I had this whole different idea, my nails were done, I thought I'd have my hair in a nice French plait. I even bought a new nightie from Victoria's Secret, but I didn't wear it – I wore an old one I had. When I actually gave birth, all I had on was a crop top, I was so hot.
'Other mums told me I wouldn't care about how I looked and they were right. I was only focusing on the baby.'
What was your labour saviour product? Let us know on the comments board below.
Read the full interview in OK! magazine, out now.

Updated 07/04/14 – 1:18 p.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Rockford man wanted for killing two people earlier this week was in custody in Wisconsin on Friday afternoon, after leading police on a high-speed chase that ended when he crashed into a tree.
Winnebago County Sheriff's police said Terence Doddy, 36, was arrested around noon, after crashing into a tree on Highway 81 in Rock County, Wisconsin.
Authorities had been searching Doddy since earlier this week, after he allegedly killed insurance salesman Todd Hansmeier, 37, at an office building in Rockford; then allegedly killed 44-year-old Tonya Bargman at a highway rest stop nearly 50 miles away, so he could steal her car.
Around 10:15 a.m. Friday, a police officer in Rockton, Illinois, spotted Bargman's 2013 Nissan Altima hidden in a wooded area behind the vacant Sand Trap Bar on Wagon Wheel Road in Rockton, according to Winnebago County Deputy Chief of Detectives Dominic Iasparro. As the officer was waiting for backup, Doddy sped off, headed north. A short time later, Illinois State Police spotted Doddy driving near the Wisconsin border in South Beloit, Illinois.
Winnebago County Sheriff's deputies and other local police departments joined the chase as Doddy drove into Wisconsin, then back into Illinois near Shirland, then back into Wisconsin, Iasparro said.
Police from Beloit and Rock County in Wisconsin also joined the chase, which at times reached speeds of 100 mph. Around noon, Doddy lost control of the car along Highway 81 in Rock County, and crashed into a tree, Iasparro said.
Authorities had used "stop sticks" to disable the suspect's tires.
After a short struggle with police, he was arrested and taken to Mercy Hospital in Janesville, Wisconsin, for treatment. Once released from the hospital, Doddy will be taken to the Rock County Jail, on a first-degree murder warrant from Winnebago County, and held pending extradition.
Less than a day before his capture, Doddy was spotted driving Bargman's car in Machesney Park, near Rockford.
Winnebago County Sheriff's Police Sgt. Doug Bushman said a motorist spotted Doddy in Bargman's car at the corner of Ralston Road and Illinois Route 251 in Machesney Park.
"He pulled into a gas station there, and as we had units en route, he left the gas station and went back towards the west, which is taking him into a more rural area," Bushman said.
Witnesses said Doddy sped off, and police flooded the area in an attempt to find him, but he was not spotted again until Friday morning, when the chase that led to his arrest began.
Doddy allegedly killed his good friend Todd Hansmeier on Monday, beating him to death at his office, then trying to burn his body to cover up the crime. The next day, he allegedly attacked and killed Tonya Bargman at the Willow Creek rest stop on I-39. Police have said Doddy and Bargman likely did not know each other, and he probably killed her for her car.
Police said they believe Doddy had been sleeping in a blue dome-style tent at campgrounds or other outdoor areas after the slayings.

16 January 2012
The H2 Logic hydrogen refueling station – located 150 metres inside the Arctic Circle – is based on H2Station® technology, and provides fast fill (within 3 minutes) refueling of hydrogen at 700 bar (10 000 psi).
The station at the Arctic Driving Centre is operated by the leading Finnish gas company Oy Woikoski Ab, which also handles the supply of hydrogen.
Despite an average temperature as low as –15°C (and sometimes as low as –45°C), the fuel cell vehicles should be able to refuel for long range operation in a few minutes, just as with refueling of gasoline vehicles.
Fast filling of hydrogen for any fuel cell vehicle at any refueling station worldwide, irrespective of local climate, is possible thanks to various industrial and globally agreed hydrogen refueling standards, such as the SAE J2601 refueling process, and because there is a single, globally agreed nozzle design.
The H2Station from H2 Logic provides full compliance with all applicable international standards, including refueling in accordance with the specifications in SAE J2601, thus offering 3 minutes fast-fill operation.
During 2011 H2 Logic opened similar fast-fill stations based on the H2Station technology in Norway and Denmark, with several more stations being manufactured and in planning during 2012.

This is an album as addictive as the substances that dictate some of the lyrical themes.
I have to admit that, aside from one or two songs, I'm unfamiliar with Beth Hart's earlier work, but after living with 'My California' for a couple of weeks I'll certainly be tracking down some of her other releases. The reviews editor well knows my love of women (female singers that is) and was spot on with the assumption that I'd like this. To say that Beth Hart's life has been a roller-coaster ride is something of an understatement and all her personal experiences and life trials have been decisive factors in shaping the songs on her albums, 'My California' being no exception. Reminiscent at times of the much missed Amanda Marshall, the heartfelt conviction contained in each track impresses on both a spiritual and musical level and the fact that everyone should be able to identify with elements of Beth's narratives simply adds to the attraction. The title track is a simple but effective vocal built upon a haunting synth/guitar score and immediately we're drawn into Beth's observations and reflections.
The piano based 'Love Is The Hardest' contains a subject matter that most of us can relate to, yet this is counterbalanced by the openly moving 'Take It Easy On Me'. 'Sister Heroine' is the track that has the greatest impact of all. A song about the loss of one's sister to drugs would be tough to take but the poignancy and honesty contained in the lyrics and the melancholy musical framework, which has a subtle country undercurrent, acts as the perfect catalyst for Beth's emotions and feelings. At times the mental and physical struggles that we are guided through paint an uncompromising human picture and it's as if the music is a form of release or coping mechanism. Most of the piano based song structures simply embellish the strong vocal lines and it's left to 'Drive' to vary the pacing with the most readily identifiable rock framework. Thought provoking and passionate yet creatively artistic, 'My California' contains no extended musical work-outs but acts as a showcase for a series of intimate short stories built around some mesmerising vocals and deft musicianship. This is an album as addictive as the substances that dictate some of the lyrical themes and that most of the songs were completed in one take just makes one appreciate its quality even more.

FAIRFIELD — Noah Schramm didn't want to waste time.
He entered the gym, walked to a back room, and stared up at his goal.
The peak of the sheer rock climbing wall — more than 20 feet up — seemed impossibly high for an 11-year-old. But Noah was undaunted — he knew what he wanted and he was ready to go.
But before strapping on his harness and roping up, he had to do one more thing. He went over to a blue mat and tossed down his canes. Then a group of volunteers helped him on with his harness. Finally, he placed his first foot on the wall.
"I'm going all the way," Schramm said. "At least eight times — I want to beat my record."
The Randolph boy, who has cerebral palsy, made it up the wall nine times.
He climbed assuredly, even commenting on each step for the onlookers below. He got to the peak by himself each time, in different sections and using different footholds and handholds. And each time he got a loud ovation from the people watching him below.
"When he was born, I was told he wouldn't walk or talk," said his mother, Wendy, as she smiled at her triumphant son.
Started in 2000 by JenFu Cheng, a pediatric physiatrist, the program Peak Potential has helped more than 100 kids with physical disabilities climb from toehold to toehold to the top. The group meets twice a week in a backroom at the New Jersey Rock Gym in Fairfield.
Cheng said he started the group with a twofold goal: to get the kids involved in physical activity that was fun, as well as challenging and and at the same time improve their self-image.
"They've demonstrated to us that we ought not to limit our expectations of them," Cheng said. "The kids are constantly teaching us.
"Definitely the main goal of the program is for the kids to have fun — and to build self-confidence," the doctor said.
Most of the children who attend have cerebral palsy, but there are kids in the program with other disabilities including muscular dystrophy. Some are hearing impaired, some blind.
They have plenty of people to help them on the way up; what was once a handful of volunteers has blossomed into a team of more than a dozen who hold the belay ropes, guide feet and hands upward, and climb alongside the intrepid kids.
Last Thursday night, Rasheed Miller, a 13-year-old from Newark in just his third session, scaled the most difficult part of the wall again and again, as his mother Nicole Narvaez shouted up encouragement.
She said the climbing has had positive therapeutic effects on her son, who has cerebral palsy, in just his three weeks.
"I've seen a big difference," she said.
Justin Horowitz, an 11-year-old from Warren, scaled the wall seven times. The youngster had a climber help him with some tricky footholds, but Horowitz was unflappable.
"It's going down that's the hardest part," he said, between ascents.
Milly Martinez, a smiley 10-year-old from North Bergen, uses a wheelchair. But she can climb the rock wall, too, with a lots of help and encouragement. Her aunt, Rita Diaz, said the program has been a revelation for her niece.
"It's like winning the lottery," Diaz said. "Milly feels good about it. And it gives you hope, seeing people like the volunteers here."
The program is free, and has been relying on both the donated room at the gym, and the time of those who volunteer. Cheng, who works at the Children's Specialized Hospital in Mountainside and teaches at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, said the group's only real limitations are financial. He and wife, Renu, are still looking for ways to grow the relatively small program.
There are 100 kids who have participated in the program over the years, but they cannot all be enrolled at the same time. Each session hosts only as many as five climbers, because of a need for volunteers and space on the wall.
Peak Potential has a waiting list and many of the kids keep coming back. Noah has graduated from the program three times before, and each time he completes the 12-week course, he has to go back on the waiting list for just under a year. There are just too many kids to be in the program at once, given a lack of resources, Cheng said. Even though there's even a spin-off program operating at Princeton University, the need is still great, he said.
"We're trying to expand the program — because there are so many kids waiting to get in," he said.
Volunteers are also at a premium. Several adults needs to help each kid stay steady and upwardly mobile. The mentors say they enjoy helping the children as much as they enjoy climbing themselves.
"This is just as fun for me — watching the kids — as climbing in Red Rocks, Nevada," said Scott Teske, a 35-year-old volunteer from Summit.
The ultimate dream is to raise enough money to take the kids to a real, outdoor rock face to climb, Cheng said. But the costs of such trips – including liability insurance– have kept them indoors.
For now, at least. Cheng says nothing's impossible, especially when it comes to enthusiastic children.
"It's really amazing when they surprise themselves and get to the top. They can accomplish more than we can imagine," Cheng said.
Noah, breathless, feet back on the ground, agreed.
"It feels exciting," he said. "When I do, I feel like I could take on the world. It feels like, I have cerebral palsy, but I can do this."

Hey all,
While visiting Copenhagen (an its LEGO stores, of course), I stumbled upon a very exciting sigil I had never seen before in the "Build your own minifig" zone. Here's a link to the corresponding Bricklink page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18836pb03#T=C&C=86
The part was added to Bricklink a little less than a month ago (June 19), so I think it must be a brand new sigil. I don't know if it's available in all countries or just in Denmark, but if you see it in a store, I highly recommend you buy a few since it's... fairly expensive on Bricklink.
Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys what your thoughts are on this: is this a piece exclusive to Danish retail stores? Could it be some sort of premature announcement of a new Castle line?

The New Spirituality

This site is part of The New Spirituality network. Find out more about it—and read its Manifesto.
Suppose you could visualize unlimited hope for yourself.
Suppose you are invited to join a community you probably never knew existed—one that connects to higher orders of life—and joining this community will be the best thing that ever happens to you.
Suppose you could see—and then actualize—remarkable new possibilities for yourself.
Suppose you could clearly see the true meaning and purpose of your life for the first time.
Suppose you could be doing what you are uniquely suited to do, and at the same time be of service to others.
Then, suppose your life just gets better.
But something is holding all this up. Life isn't good for many people. Something is broken and out of balance in the world, and so also in ourselves. If we knew what was broken, and how it became broken, we might be able to fix it.
Things are not fine in the world. It's not productive to be in denial about that. Things aren't fine in ourselves either, but that's something we can change. We could go to work on ourselves if we knew how, and if we knew we had the right kind of help. If we knew we weren't alone, and if we knew things were going to get better.
But can you feel it? The sense of uncertainty, edginess and urgency that is forcing us to awaken from our usual sleepwalk. The distractions of our mindless tasks are failing, and falling back asleep is no longer an option. We are aware of our discontent, and it aches. Meaninglessness squeezes us, but the vague memories of our purpose remain elusive.
The thing is, though, we may think we're alone in all this, but we're not. We have great and powerful spiritual helpers, but we became estranged from them long ago through no fault of our own. Today we hardly remember they exist.
But suppose there was a way to bring them back into our awareness? Then a radically better future for us might be a definite possibility.
What we need is a new story, a new understanding about the world, and therefore also a new story about ourselves. A story that is true. A story that we can tell ourselves, and a story that we can determine is true or false by our own direct experience—not by the opinions of other people, or stories in old books.
We're going to tell you that story. And then we're going to give you the tools to make it true for yourself—if you decide that's what you want to do. We can introduce you to certain others—certain "Wisdom Beings" you might call them, who can assist you to come back in balance within yourself.

Donald Trump, will not tolerate "Hypocrisy on the Women's Issue."
Paul Manafort defending the presumptive GOP presidential nominee's attacks on both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, says that Donald Trump will not tolerate "hypocrisy on the women's issue."
In a TV interview the convention manager for Donald Trump demurred from elaborating on Mr. Trump's declaration Saturday that "Hillary was an enabler" to a husband "who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics," and that "some of those women were destroyed not by him, but by the way that Hillary Clinton treated them…"
"Donald Trump has made it very clear he's not going to allow hypocrisy on the women's issue," Mr. Manafort declared. "He's not going to let Hillary make the case that she's this defender of women's rights."
But Wallace countered: "That's not what I asked. I asked you, what did Hillary Clinton do to those women? He says she destroyed their lives. How?"
Donald Trump made it very clear, he is not going to let hypocrisy exist on the women's issue. He is not anti-women, he is very pro-women, he has proven it in his business life.
And proven it more so than Hillary Clinton, because he has proven it with actions, not words. So for Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren to go after him on being anti-women, expect him to go back and talk about some of the things that Hillary did that are less consistent as far as being pro-women.
Paul Manafort also defended Mr. Trump's Twitter War with the Democratic Massachusetts lawmaker, who last week tweeted she'd "fight my heart out" to stop Trump's "toxic stew of hatred and insecurity" from getting to the White House.
Mr. Manafort said in the case of both Mrs. Clinton and Ms. Warren, Trump is "taking on a fight with politicians who are using political terms and being hypocrites about it."
"As far as the women's issue is concerned, that's exactly the point he's making," Mr. Manafort asserted. "He is not going to allow Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren to hide behind their sex to make cases that are just hypocritical."
"The statements that she was making, they were totally out of bounds and Trump gave it back to her. She can't take it, that is her problem."
Donald Trump Puts America First
A strong majority of voters believe in an America First foreign policy and feel the nation should put its own interests ahead of those of other countries, a new poll revealed Monday.
