First of all, I am starting this new season of writing club with a drastic location change. Rather than using our youth services activity room, I have decided to move us upstairs to the adult conference room. I'm hoping that this move, from the dark basement where friends and distractions can just wander in, participants will start to feel like they're in a serious classroom and that what they do matters.
My teen summer reading program this year is all about spies and conspiracy theories, so I thought it would be cool to alter our writing club sessions this summer to fit the theme.
Ransom Riggs, with Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and now the sequel, Hollow City under his belt, has really set a nice tone for the use of writing prompts and tools.
With that in mind, I brought in a bag of photos that my and and I uncovered in our attic. Most of these were people that we couldn't place, or couldn't quite recognize, so I didn't mind creating fictional worlds around them. And my teens had an amazing time building new worlds.
From a banquet photo: A celebratory dinner for Hitler.
From an old house and a flower girl: A horror tale similar to Hansel and Gretel.
From a photo of my graduation from kindergarten: an interesting take on how parents have to overcome fear to let their children grow up.
And from a photo of a kitchen table: a haunting tale of cannibalism and loneliness.
I'm REALLY looking forward to this season of writing club.
And really grateful for Ransom Riggs' great idea.

A kangaroo and a pig have been in a relationship for a year.
In the Australian outback, a kangaroo and a pig have been pictured having sexual intercourse with one another and are thought to have been an item for the past year. Ryan Frazer, a 28-year-old student from Sydney, witnessed the romance and told the Daily Mail Australia: "It was pretty clear from the outset that the kangaroo and the pig were strangely close, they were touching each other, the pig was nuzzling under the kangaroos arms."
However, the couple have an equal partnership as both animals take it in turns to mount the other.
Women in China have been wearing condoms on their faces.
A group of women have been spotted with the latex contraception stuck to their foreheads while riding on the Beijing metro because they can allegedly double up as a beauty treatment. Although the trend puzzled fellow passengers, it has been revealed the stunt was designed to show users that the lubricant on their new range of ultra-thin condoms are so good you can even use them as a facial. Speaking to the Mirror Online, the Chinese condom manufacturers DxCondom said: "The condom's lubricating fluid can really work on the skin."
A bridesmaid was forced to dye her hair because her red hair was too ''attention-grabbing''.
A bride called Ella offered to take one of her bridesmaids to the hairdresser to change the colour of her tresses to avoid her from stealing the limelight from the happy couple at their wedding, according to the Mirror Online. Ella contacted her friend, and said: "Yesterday morning I received an email from Ella. It seemed pretty standard but then when she got into the look she wants for her bridesmaids she wrote, 'Bridehairthrowaway, you'll need to dye your hair for the day, I'll take you to my hairdresser and cover the cost. [To not be] attention-grabbing'."
However, it has since come to light that the hair colour request was because the groom, Pete, has a ''redhead fetish''.
It was explained: "Charles called me and informed me that Pete [the groom] has a redhead fetish. Ella actually dyed her hair red for several years in her teens, but it basically became too damaged and costly to continue doing so and she returned to her natural hair colour."
Japan's first naked restaurant will reject select people.
A diner called The Amrita, which allows people to strip down to feast, has admitted it will not open its doors to anyone overweight, tattooed, or to anyone under 18 or over 60, according to the Telegraph Online. The restaurant is due to open on July 29, but has posted a list of regulations on its website that prevent certain body types from entering its premises. Anyone that weighs 33 pounds more than the average weight for their height will be refused entry, and management even reserve the right to fetch a pair of scales if there is any doubt.

Many living with undiagnosed deadly heart conditions
It is estimated that at least 12 young people die from an undiagnosed heart condition every week in the UK.
Many people with deadly inherited heart conditions are only diagnosed after having a cardiac arrest, research has shown.
One in five of those with such a condition only finds out after the death of someone in their family, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said.
The charity estimates that around 620,000 people in the UK have a faulty gene which puts them at a particularly high risk of developing heart disease or dying suddenly at a young age.
Each child of someone with an inherited heart condition has a 50% chance of inheriting the same faulty gene – but the majority of people remain undiagnosed.
It is also estimated that at least 12 young people (those under 35) die from an undiagnosed heart condition every week in the UK.
The figures have been released as part of the charity's In Your Genes campaign, which aims to raise awareness of inherited heart conditions and highlight the urgent need for better diagnosis.
BHF is urging people to speak to their family about any early sudden deaths or premature heart disease in the family, which might have been caused by an inherited heart condition.
Once someone has been diagnosed with an inherited heart condition, genetic testing should be carried out on all first-degree relatives – a process called cascade testing.
"Once diagnosed, many of these conditions are manageable with medication or ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators), and can prevent needless deaths.
"All too often, people aren't familiar with their family history, or they aren't aware that a sudden death might be linked to an underlying heart condition.
"We need to improve awareness of these conditions, and ensure that people have equal access to cascade genetic testing across the UK."
Owen Steatham, from Birmingham, was just nine when he collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest on his way home from school.
Luckily, paramedics were at the scene quickly and managed to save his life using a defibrillator.
Tests revealed that Owen, now 13, was living with the inherited heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and he has now been fitted with an ICD.
As HCM is an inherited heart condition, the rest of Owen's family were tested and it was revealed that his father and younger brother, Riley, seven, are also carrying the faulty gene. They are now being monitored so they can be treated if they too develop the condition.
Owen's father, David, 37, said: "We know that genetic testing has saved lives in our family. My uncle was diagnosed with the condition after Owen's diagnosis, which led to him having an ICD fitted.
"Since then his ICD has delivered a shock to his heart after it went into a dangerous rhythm. Without the diagnosis and ICD he might not be alive today. Owen has also had 10 shocks from his ICD since his diagnosis, which has literally saved his life.
"I am so incredibly grateful to the genetic testing service. No-one should have to go through what Owen went through."
Anyone with a history of unexplained sudden deaths in their family should speak to their GP, or call the BHF Genetic Information Service on 0300 456 8383.

Golf cart offers the best ride for golfers to take a trip around the golf course. In recent days they have being versioned into utility carts to carry huge passenger loads to run about smaller distances in the vicinity of gated communities, airports and widespread campuses. As their distance coverage and travel spots seems to increase, the probability of accident occurrences are also par increasing. Hence proper measures and guidelines help to do with a safe travel.
Drive at minimal speed
Golf carts have the speed limit of less than 15mph and this becomes the right pace to travel with. Gas-powered carts can exert a greater pull and speed compared to electric carts but with minimal speed, the passengers remain safe in their seats. These carts can move up to 35 mph but considering the safety of the passengers, pedestrians and incoming traffic a cautious and a secure drive will do good.
Never overload:
Golf carts do not have seat belts. Hence the passengers should check for a perfect fit into their seats. Golf carts may turn risky at curves and down hills where an overloaded cart may throw away the passengers leading to serious injuries. Moreover hanging legs outside the golf cart and standing in the carts should also be avoided.
Take a perfect drive:
Golf carts are predestined for specific environments and areas. A reversing downhill, an uneven terrain, a wet or a muddy surface and a sharp turn can cause the golf cart to lose its stability. Thus avoiding such areas will provide a better safety. Also, driving along the cart path of a golf course may prevent damage made to the lawn and turf.
Follow rules:
Golf cart driving requires a trained driver who knows the etiquette for a safe driving. A golf cart though seems to be a handy vehicle, needs more care and caution to be driven at. Consuming alcohol or using drugs should be strictly avoided while driving the cart which when left negligible can turn out to be perilous or even fatal too. This cart cannot be used for horseplay or racing, neither can be used for a joy ride.
Thus golf carts will be at its best use when it is properly handled and driven. Promote a safe drive to prevent mishaps with the surroundings and the passengers who travel in them. More information regarding Golf Cars are available online. The user could get a more clear regarding golf carts by clicking the above link mentioned.

John Leguizamo charts 'The Latin Explosion' in music and culture
John Leguizamo narrates HBO's "The Latin Explosion" doc.
By Ned Ehrbar
Published : November 16, 2015
HBO's new documentary "The Latin Explosion," which premieres tonight at 9 p.m., explores the cultural and artistic side of the Latino move toward the mainstream in American society, and narrator John Leguizamo has had a unique vantage on that change over the decades. He just wishes there were some better options for Latinos in the presidential race.
In pop culture in general, not just in music, Latin representation has had an interesting journey. What's your own personal view of that been?
We've always been the flavor for a certain amount of time and then faded out or disappeared and then came back into prominence and then disappeared again. But I guess ever since the '70s it's been a strong influence. We helped birth hip-hop — Latin people I mean. We had a hand in hip-hop, we had a hand in graffiti. And then playwrights like myself in the '90s and now filmmakers, you've got so many people. You've got Pitbull doing that amalgam of hip-hop and dance music. And in athletics, forget it, baseball is our thing. We're even breaking into basketball now with Lopez and all the other cats.
RELATED: John Leguizamo brings "Ghetto Klown" to HBO
Do you think any of that has to do with the shifting population numbers?
I think it's not just the change in numbers, because we've always been a pretty big contingent here, but definitely we've had a chance to move up into the power positions where the decision-making is happening. That's the big change. We're finally being allowed to crack through those glass ceilings and take the reins. And that's been the big change. We're over a trillion dollars of buying power just in America, forget about Latin America. So that's been huge. And definitely you have a lot more voters. I mean, we have the first two Latin candidates, even though they're on the wrong side. (laughs)
Cruz, though, feels like the least Latin Latin candidate you could imagine.
He's half-Latin, but he's full self-hating. (laughs)
RELATED: Aramis Knight gets into shape for "Into the Badlands"
I find people getting nervous about a Latin majority hilarious, honestly.
The rest of America, all the big cities have had a Latin presence forever, you know? L.A., Cleveland, New York, Florida. It's the places that did not have a huge Latin influx, they're the ones that are uncomfortable with a Latin presence. But Texas has always been Latin. We've actually been here before everybody else came here. Texas was Mexico, California was Mexico — New Mexico was Mexico! And all those cities have our names. Colorado means red in Spanish because of the red clay, Arizona means dry land, California means temperate zone, Florida means flowery state.
What of what's going on today as far as the Latin explosion excites you the most?
I mean, you have Lin Manuel doing the first hip-hop musical, that's a new birth right now. And you'll see millions of those shows coming up next. You have these incredible auteurs, the kinds you haven't seen since the '70s — Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron, Inarritu. You have Junot Diaz, a great, great novelist, a Pulitzer winner. You have so much creativity. We're finally given a chance to express ourselves.
RELATED: Oliver Platt checks into "Chicago Med"
You also just released your first graphic novel, "Ghetto Klown."
Yeah, my graphic novel just dropped, and it's based on my one-man show "Ghetto Klown." I found these artists in Brooklyn. There's a community of illustrators, and I brought them my play and they fell in love with it. And I loved their drawing. It was a love-fest. It's a pretty powerful piece — very raw, very honest. My one-man shows are very adaptable to graphic novels because the dialogue is so succinct, each line is kind of like a haiku of experience.

The Hobbit was published September 1937 and in the week leading to the following Christmas Tolkien bowed to polite yet firm requests from his publisher and began a sequel. He sat down and wrote five manuscript pages to which a title was added 'A long-expected party.' I have said before that The Lord of the Rings may be read as a commentary on The Hobbit and the early drafts especially. This first draft chapter provides a nice distillation and mirror of the original story.
Bilbo Baggins is celebrating his seventieth birthday. It is two decades since he returned from his adventure. At a magnificent birthday party, in which the shire (still lower case) begins to come into being, he announces he is leaving again and also that he is going to get married. In the flummaxation that follows Bilbo disappears (the ring is in his hand as he gives his after-dinner speech). The story then switches to Bag-end and an absent host. Bilbo's property has been arranged and labelled as gifts to various friends and relations and the Sackville-Bagginses finally get their hands on Bilbo's luxrurious hobbit hole.
So, observe the various correspondences. The Hobbit was a story of there and back again. This first chapter – which announces that the new story will be about Bilbo's heir but does not name him – is all about Bilbo: here and gone again. An unexpected party had flummoxed Bilbo, but now he organizes a party to flummox all the other hobbits. Bilbo's earlier adventure is referred to by the other hobbits as his "mysterious vanishment," and the new adventure begins with his second and final vanishment (a more effective vanishment as he now owns a magic ring of vanishment). After he has vanished a second time the ending of the original story is mirrored, but instead of an auction of his property Bilbo now directs its passage to new owners. Finally, note how the idea of a birthday party points to some as yet unrealised idea about transfer of the magic ring to an heir: the magic ring began as Gollum's birthday present, and the idea of its passage to another is associated with Bilbo's birthday.
Because an heir is not named – indeed, at this point Bilbo has only just announced marriage and so a descendant is not yet even a twinkle in his eye – so there is no suggestion that the magic ring is to be included in the transfer of Bilbo's property to others. Nevertheless, I believe that sufficient factors point to an idea already in the author's mind that the magic ring will be central to the new story, and so must pass to a new hero. This first draft chapter is setting up the conditions for a transfer of ownership. As seen, the chapter clearly mirrors the bookends of the original story – opening party and auction of property at the end – and the central theme of a birthday party points to some (just what is hard to say) idea of a subsequent chapter that mirrors the riddle game in some way and sees a Baggins family heirloom passed on.
The mirror of the riddle game was never written because, just after he had got to Bilbo's second vanishing in a second draft of the chapter, Tolkien wrote some notes on the story that was brewing in which the Necromancer is named as the origin of the magic ring. This changed the nature of the inheritance, with the magic ring suddenly a burden and a threat and not something you would wish to leave to your heirs.
Subsequent posts will explore the new property of the magic ring. But I want to highlight here how this first draft chapter of the sequel helps us better read the original. My last post gave one item of the index of the original hobbit story:
Bilbo Baggins.
property, acquired: magic ring
property, inherited: Bag-End; generic hobbit vanishing magic; Baggins luck; queer Took quality
Visibility. Of body: see magic ring. Of properties: see wizard's eye, magic ring, dwarves
In my reading of the 1937 story of Bilbo Baggins, property is a key word. The draft chapter of the sequel confirms its importance and reminds me that the entry above takes no account of the auction and needs to be supplemented:
Bilbo Baggins.
property, acquired: magic ring, some treasure (much spent in regaining auctioned property)
property, auctioned: most inherited property left in Bag-End
property, inherited: Bag-End; generic hobbit vanishing magic; Baggins luck; queer Took quality
Visibility. Of body: see magic ring. Of properties: see wizard's eye, magic ring, dwarves
The additions are worth making if only because they bring to light Tolkien's vision of the original story as all about Bilbo's properties: in going there and coming back again Bilbo acquires a magic ring that reveals his inner properties, the name of a legendary burglar, some wealth, and comes home to find his original property passing into the hands of others.

Fix misbehavior of CTE-used-in-a-subplan during EPQ rechecks. An updating query that reads a CTE within an InitPlan or SubPlan could get incorrect results if it updates rows that are concurrently being modified. This is caused by CteScanNext supposing that nothing inside its recursive ExecProcNode call could change which read pointer is selected in the CTE's shared tuplestore. While that's normally true because of scoping considerations, it can break down if an EPQ plan tree gets built during the call, because EvalPlanQualStart builds execution trees for all subplans whether they're going to be used during the recheck or not. And it seems like a pretty shaky assumption anyway, so let's just reselect our own read pointer here.
Per bug #14870 from Andrei Gorita. This has been broken since CTEs were implemented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Eva Sarah Moskowitz was born in born March 4, 1964, and is an American citizen born in the New York City. She is the founder and CEO of the Success Academy Charter Schools, which was formerly called "Harlem Success Academy" at the time of its foundation. Operating in more than thirty public charter schools around the city of New York, it is a renowned school which exists since it was created in 2006 and has many other buildings scattered around the region.
The school already has more than ten thousand students, including all of the scholars included in the thirty-four Success Academy Schools. The buildings that are run by Eva Sarah Moskowitz can be found in every NYC borough except the Staten Island, for now. The CEO of the company does have plans to include her school in that region as well, to create a quality education for every citizen of New York City equally.
The founder of the successful school network is very dedicated to promoting a better education for her country. She is the leader responsible for the Great Public Schools PAC, which is a Public Action Committee that speaks for the education problems in the American nation. Eva Moskowitz was also Chairwoman of the Education Committee before founding her school chain, in 1999. She left the spot in 2005 to dedicate her life to creating her own school.
She is a very prepared businessperson to be running the Success Academy. She was a Ph.D. in history and a lot of knowledge with running a business. She is also responsible for the teaching methods of the school she runs. In the Successful Academy, Eva Moskowitz thinks it is important to apply discipline to teach the students how to become better civilians and good people.
On the same hand, Ms. Moskowitz has founded the effort academy inside the school, which is a program for students to get better at their daily life in the school.
Before the CEO decided to create her own school chains to provide a better education for her nation, she was a professor of communications and mass culture, at the University of Virginia.

I moved to Oregon (the first time) back in 1994. I immediately fell in love with the Made in Oregon stores. So many fun and amazing products, all made in or by people who lived in Oregon. When I started my career as an artist, I dared to dream of one day having my work in the stores too…
21 years later that dream came true!
And writing that sentence made me feel old… but I'm going to let that unproductive float on through and focus on the accomplishment!
All 10 stores now carry my Color Yourself Happy coloring book and journals so if you live in or find yourself in Oregon, pop on in and grab a few! The coloring book isn't just another coloring book, it is part of Pivot To Happy – another passion of mine. At PivotToHappy.com where we share skills and techniques to help people PIVOT (from fear, sadness, anxiety, anger, you name it) TO HAPPY. The more you consciously practice, the faster you will recover from life's setbacks. Coloring is one way to change your perspective and focus!
Each page includes arrows to represent pivoting – one definition of "pivot" is "to whirl about on one foot". Even if you can't change your physical circumstances, you can always try to pivot your perspective. As a fun reminder, there are three arrows in each and every illustration – some are big and easy to spot and others are smaller and pretty well hidden!
In addition to the arrows, every picture has the word happy somewhere in it. Just like life, sometimes it is large and easy to spot and other times it is small and hidden. No matter the size, there is always a little happy to be found!
I hope this is the beginning of my relationship with Made in Oregon – I'm an Oregonian by choice and proud to be in their stores!
– Tara Reed
P.S. If you love to color, I have a monthly eMail where you can sign up and get a new design to print and color each month! Head to PivotToHappy.com/free-coloring/ to sign up!

it hurt.
it hurt in that uncompromising, unexpected, indescribably shitty way that it does whenever someone tears a little piece of your heart out.
it sucked in that unavoidable way it does when someone leaves you and it's not on your own terms and you weren't ready for it.
it stings in that unpleasant way it does when someone decides that you aren't worth their time, or energy, or interest, or whatever, anymore.
it still stings. and it will still suck, and hurt, for a while now.
but I deserve better and I know it wasn't my fault.
all the people here, all my friends near and far, they know me, they are impressed by me and my emotional maturity and they see how strong and incredible a person I am and that I am doing great things and always capable of being my best person.
life has been throwing me a lot of punches lately, and you were one of them. this one was peculiar and confidence-draining and disappointing in that quiet, bitter, lackluster kind of way.
but i will recover. i am moving on. i deserve better and I'll keep on doing my own stuff, moving forward with my life and doing all the good things that I do. becoming a better person all the time.
and i don't need you for any of that.
you made your call, as cowardly and non-confrontational and emotionally immature as it was, and now i've made mine. using the skills i have and the emotional maturity that i have. there is no room in my life for you anymore.
goodbye. take care.

Utah recently passed a new bill governing Power of Attorneys (POAs). Below are some important details and FAQs relating to the new POA law along with a few cautionary tidbits.
- The new POA law applies to all POAs signed on or after May 10, 2016.
- You can rely on a copy of a POA instead of require an original.
- Under the new law, a POA must be notarized and signed by the principal or someone directed to sign on the principal's behalf in the principal's "conscious presence."
- Under the new law, a POA does not have to be recorded. However, it is always wise to record POAs. Washington County requires that POAs be recorded and your underwriter may too.
If a new POA grants "general authority" for an agent to act on behalf of a principal with respect to "Real Property," how broad is that authority?
Under the new law, unless the POA states otherwise, general authority given to an agent with respect to real property gives the agent VERY BROAD power to (amongst other things) buy, sell, convey, mortgage, encumber, release, and/or assign a principal's interest in real property. See Utah Code Ann. § 75-9-204
BEWARE: Determining whether to accept a POA should always be done on a case-by-case basis.
Am I protected under the new law if I rely on a notarized POA that has been forged or is invalid, void or terminated?
The new law provides that you can assume a signature is genuine and/or rely on a POA, if (1) it is notarized; and, (2) you accepted the POA in "good faith…without actual knowledge that the signature is not genuine" or that that "the POA is void, invalid, or terminated."
See Utah Code Ann. § 75-9-119(2)&(3) and § 75-9-105.
BEWARE: Although the law provides some protection, it does not mean you won't get sued. The above protection really only provides you with an additional defense in the lawsuit.
The new law says that I can be liable for refusing to accept a notarized POA, does this mean I cannot turn down a transaction that depends on a POA?
NO!!!!! It is true that the new law states we must accept a valid, notarized POA within 7 days after receiving it. However, under the new law, we CAN still reject a POA if: (1) we are not required by law to engage in business with the principal; (2) doing business with the agent or principle would be against federal law; or (3) we have actual knowledge of the POA or the agent's authority being terminated. See Utah Code Ann. § 75-9-120

This is one of my favourite Joyce stories. It packs a short lifetime of emotion and apprehension into just a few lovely pages. From Joyce's collection Dubliners, first published in 1914.
Stepping out into life, like the young hero of this story, demands courage and open eyes. As Joyce wrote in his Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use — silence, exile, and cunning.
Araby, by James Joyce [15:00]

This is what a broken and dislocated forearm on a 9-year-old girls looks like. Unfortunately this belongs to my youngest daughter, Emme, who accomplished this after trying to catch herself from hitting the floor after falling off the balance beam at gymnastics. Accidents happen - and sometimes they really hurt! - but sometimes they affect more than just your physical well-being.
If you watch sports or have a child who plays sports or were an athlete yourself, then you know that injuries are often part of the game. Not everyone experiences bone-crushing fractures or career-ending injuries - most of the time it's knocks and bumps and the occasional bruise. But there are those moments where you watch an athlete's future dissipate before his or her eyes by an injury that prohibits them from coming back. And that is hard to watch.
As someone who has never really experienced any of this in the athletic arena, I've often wondered what it's like to receive the crushing news from a doctor or trainer that you might not be able to compete at the same level again. Even if you are just a weekend warrior and enjoy recreational sports leagues - which are awesome, by the way - I am sure that not being able to play at the same level as you once did can be frustrating if not even depressing.
So as I watched my budding young gymnast lie on the ground in obvious pain, my primary focus was making sure that she was okay and taken care of. But then as we were riding in the ambulance to the hospital, the inevitable thoughts came into my mind - Will she be able to do gymnastics again? And even if the physical healing is 100%, will she want to jump on that beam again after what happened? Will she even want to?
Sure, she's pretty new to the sport, but she is incredibly driven and has big dreams - she's already considering UCLA and Alabama for college because, according to her, "They have the best gymnastics teams." And she recently joined a team that will begin competition soon, which she has been working really hard to be ready for. How would she respond to the fact that even if she does make a full recovery it will still be months before she is able to even attempt the kind of moves she was doing before the accident? And what about us as parents - how will we help her through the potential disappointment of not being able to compete, both now and perhaps in the future?
It was right then and there, as these thoughts swirled through my brain, that I realized it would not matter to me one bit if my daughter ever wanted to slip on the leotard and get back to the gym. I am proud of her for trying her best and for being so brave to try a sport that I personally find pretty scary. And then she showed us more of what she is really made of.
After surgery and a brief time in recovery, she said she was ready to go home. Once there, she read out loud all of the get well cards that her classmates sent her and then she invited her friends over to hang out. She shared her Chick-Fil-A fries with them and hung out on the couch watching cheesy Disney shows with them, making sure that they were properly entertained and cared for. When she needed help from me or my wife, she was unafraid to ask for it. She also said she didn't want the pain medication that the doctor prescribed - she didn't like how it made her feel. And not once has she complained about being in pain or the fact that it could be months before she can go back in the gym again. The only disappointment she showed was not being able to go to school tomorrow.
I gotta be honest, it's times like these when I really look up to my kids and hope I can learn from them. As an adult, it's not a broken bone that concerns me but rather the potential for my dreams to be shattered. Yet here is a nine-year-old girl who is unafraid to take what life gives her and make it into something sweet.
Sometimes our dreams aren't the dreams that God has for us and sometimes we just need a little extra time before we can see our dreams fulfilled. But regardless of the circumstances, it is up to us to determine how we will handle life's ups and downs along the way. Jesus told us not to worry (Matthew 6:33) and Paul echoed that sentiment (Philippians 4:6). And they did so not because what we experience does not affect us or is unimportant but rather because God is greater than any difficulty or struggle we could ever encounter.
Dreams are great and we should keep on striving to live the dreams that God has placed in our hearts. Sometimes life will throw a wrench in our plans and derail these dreams, even if only temporarily. But if we keep our eyes on Jesus - "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" - then we can know that regardless of the outcome that we desired, God will always give us exactly what we need - "and all of these things will be added unto you."

Opioid Legislation Update: Second Circuit
June 27th, 2017 by CHHS RAs
By CHHS RA Bach Nguyen
Note: This is part of an ongoing series of posts covering recent state legislative efforts to address the nationwide opioid epidemic. The posts are organized by federal judicial circuit, with this post covering the Second Circuit. As a reminder, in the federal court system, a circuit court hears appeals from a group of states, usually based on geographical region, though some exceptions exist. In this case, the Second Circuit is composed of Connecticut, New York, and Vermont.
Much like the Fourth Circuit, Second Circuit states are also passing legislation to address the opioid epidemic. One commonality among the states are legislative efforts to limit prescriptions of opioids, though the specifics of each state's plan varies, with some states limiting by number of days, number of pills, and by other means. There are unique challenges among the states, however, in part because New York is a much larger jurisdiction than Connecticut and Vermont, though the impact is often felt more strongly in smaller states. As reported last month, the Connecticut Medical Examiner's Office recently lost full accreditation status due to the influx of opioid-related autopsies straining the smaller office's resources beyond recommended limits. The office has requested increased funding to hire more medical staff.
On the legislative front, Connecticut HB 7052 recently passed in the legislature and is expected to be signed by the governor. Key provisions of the bill include increased information sharing to prevent overprescribing drugs, a reduction of the maximum number of days an opioid may be prescribed to minors, requiring physicians to discuss the risks of opioids with patients, and creating a creating a process by which patients can request not to be prescribed opioids. The bill follows legislative efforts in 2015 and 2016 to address the opioid crisis, including a law that allows the creation of voluntary non-opioid directives. These directives are similar to an advanced directive in which a patient will have listed in his or her medical record that he or she does not wish to be prescribed opioids.
New York has also passed large legislative packages in 2014 and 2016 to combat the opioid crisis in the state. In April of this year, Gov. Cuomo signed legislation investing over $200 million to combat the heroin and opioid epidemic. This legislation builds off the 2016 legislation, which "increase[d] access to treatment, expand[ed] community prevention strategies, and limit[ed] the over-prescription of opioids in New York." The bulk of the 2017 funding will go towards community providers, with significant funding going towards state-operated providers, Naloxone kits and training, and additional programs. Additionally, another package of bills is being considered by the legislature, and is likely to pass. Senate bill S.5949 limits the prescription of opioids to minors, much like the aforementioned Connecticut bill, and has passed in the Senate. Another bill, S.5670, has also passed the Senate, and requires healthcare providers to consult with their patients about the patient's opioid prescriptions and options to take lower doses. Lastly, "Laree's Law," named after a victim of overdose and seeks to create harsher penalties for drug dealers where the product kills, has also passed the State Senate. Where the majority of state legislative efforts are still focused on prevention and treatment, this bill represents one of a few criminal law options being considered and enacted around the country.
Law enforcement in Vermont are also finding ways to collaborate with other organizations to combat the opioid epidemic, holding twice-monthly meetings with prosecutors and social workers, as opioid overdose deaths are set to surpass the previous year's total. Vermont has a number of cutting-edge treatment programs, including methadone-assisted treatment both in less stigmatized office settings and in jails in prisons (and was the first state to do the latter), and maximizing Naloxone access in a number of critical intervention points and at-risk communities. This year, new opioid prescribing rules are set to take effect on July 1st. Similar to the New York and Connecticut bills, these rules govern informed consent and discussion of alternatives to opioids, and have been generally well received despite some criticisms of redundancy and conflict with existing rules and practices.
Many states in the Second Circuit have been legislating to combat the opioid epidemic for several years, although as harms continue to rise, legislators are continuing to add more measures in hopes of protecting the health of its citizens. As fatalities continue to rise, however, it may be many years before the impact of this legislation is felt.

Hobart College sophomore cornerback Drake Woodard (Marcy/Whitesboro) was named a unanimous first-team member of the Liberty League's all-conference football team for the second straight year.
Hobart College sophomore cornerback Drake Woodard (Marcy/Whitesboro) was named a unanimous first-team member of the Liberty League's all-conference football team for the second straight year.
Woodard started all nine games for the Statesmen (6-3) and was fourth on the team in tackles with 32, including two for a loss. He also recovered two fumbles and blocked two kicks.
Woodard had a season-high eight tackles, two for a loss, and recovered a fumble and blocked a punt against Carnegie Mellon. He broke up three passes at WPI.
After intercepting seven passes as a freshman last season, teams avoided challenging him through the air. Last year. Woodard was a member of the D3football.com All-East first team, the ECAC Northwest Rookie of the Year, an ECAC Northwest All-Star, and the Liberty League's Rookie of the Year.
His younger brother, Hobart freshman receiver Junior Woodard (Marcy/Whitesboro), finished his first season with seven catches for 84 yards. Hobart, running back Kyle Tritten (Whitesboro) rushed for 258 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries and he also caught four passes for 40 yards. Teammate Pat Julian (Frankfort/Sauquoit Valley) had 41 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown.
University of Rochester linebacker Ed Dauphin (New Hartford) earned All-Liberty League honors for the third straight year. The 5-foot-10, 227-pound junior was named second team all-conference after finishing second on his team with 70 total tackles, including 32 solo stops. He also had 6½ tackles for a loss, including 1½ sacks, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and led the team with seven forced fumbles.
Ithaca College junior Dan Ruffrage (Whitesboro/Notre Dame) was named as an All-Empire 8 Conference honorable mention as both a wide receiver and kick returner. He played in every game, starting six times at receiver, finishing with 46 catches for 626 yards and three touchdowns. He also threw a 31-yard touchdown pass on an option play at Springfield, and he led Ithaca in punt returns, averaging 14.8 yards per return on 20 runbacks.
Ruffrage also averaged 18.3 yards per return on 15 kickoff returns. He was named Ithaca's Outstanding Back after the Frostburg State and Springfield games, was picked as the team's Honorary Offensive Captain after the Hartwick and Springfield games, and was selected as the Bombers' Specialist of the Week after the Union game.
St. John Fisher linebacker Brenden Moore (Camden) played in only six games due to injury, but he earned All-Empire 8 honorable mention after making 49 tackles for the conference champions. St. John Fisher teammate Ryan Schmidt (Whitesboro), a sophomore receiver, was third on the team with 25 catches for 277 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals' No. 1 kick returner also averaged 23.9 yards per return, with a long of 54 yards.
University of New Hampshire senior Tom Manning (Rome/Rome Free Academy) kicked two more field goals, including a 42-yarder as time expired in the first half and a 52-yarder in the fourth quarter, to help the Wildcats edge Maine 27-24.
Three of Manning's kickoffs also reached the end zone for touchbacks. Manning has a team-high 92 points – he has made 18 of 23 field goal attempts, including a school-record 54-yarder – for the 10th-ranked Wildcats (9-2), who play No. 8 McNeese State (9-2) in the first round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Series playoffs at 2 p.m. Saturday in Lake Charles, La.
Utica College freshman quarterback Andrew Benkwitt was named the Empire 8 Rookie of the Year, while senior classmates Eric Kahl and Pete Vano earned first-team honors for the first time in their careers. Senior wide receiver Cody Elliot was a second-team selection along with junior defensive end Tracy Branch and sophomore left tackle Tyler Olles was an honorable mention.
Benkwitt broke nearly every single-season school passing record including pass completions (200), passing yards (2,375), passing attempts (329), passing touchdowns (19), completion percentage (60.8) and passing yards per game (237.5).
He ranked second in the conference in total yards per game (243.7) and ranked fourth in the conference in pass efficiency (130.15). He also led all freshman quarterbacks in the conference in average yards passing per game, passing efficiency and total offense.
Kahl, making his third straight appearance in the all-conference team, missed three games this season due to a broken foot and still managed to lead Utica with 74 tackles.

Architect Proposes Ocean Habitats Made from Garbage and Algae / TheRealDeal.com
What do you think of this idea proposed by Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut? These half-a-mile-tall, 250-floor "oceanscrapers" would house 20,000 residents, would stretch 3,000 feet beneath sea level, and would be made out of the garbage and algae that is currently floating in our oceans.

How much are mental health issues costing your business?
One in four people experience mental health problems in any one year. It is estimated that absence from work due to mental health issues costs the UK economy £26 billion per annum and in 2015/16 resulted in 11.7 million working days lost.
60 per cent of employees experience symptoms of poor mental health related to work – including depression, anxiety and panic attacks and yet fewer than one in four managers have actually received any training on dealing with these issues and often feel unskilled and fearful about their role in managing staff with mental health issues.
In the workplace, mental health issues impact an organisation's productivity and profitability through overtime costs and costs related to recruitment of cover staff (either permanent or temporary).
In addition, mental health can have a serious impact on the morale of employees – those suffering as well as their colleagues who then have to pick up the additional workload and also their managers who then have to take responsibility for the impact on their business.
How does your business manage mental health issues?
In a recent report by Business in the Community,(1) 15 per cent of people surveyed said that they had faced disciplinary proceedings as a result of disclosing mental health issues at work. One in 10 people even said they'd been sacked or forced out of their jobs.
Providing support for employees is part of your duty of care as an employer, is important for your organisation's productivity and profit as well as being vital for the individual concerned.
Many employers are taking positive steps to address mental health in the workplace through encouraging awareness, challenging preconceptions and changing their approach and reaction to mental health. How about you?
Improving your company's management of mental health issues can save at least 30% of the cost of lost production (2) and staff turnover through reducing absenteeism, retaining valued and experienced staff members and avoiding recruitment, induction and training costs.
How can I help your business?
As an experienced, service manager I have supported and line managed staff with various mental health issues.
As a qualified trainer and counsellor, I also train people in helping and counselling skills.
I have worked with various organisations to develop appropriate policies covering a range of issues likely to occur in the workplace amongst both management and employees.
Whether you are a large or small business, I will tailor my services to meet your needs and will deliver cost effective, in house training in order to raise awareness and develop skills and strategies.
With all of the training that I deliver, the focus is not only on increasing knowledge, but also on challenging attitudes and developing practical skills – all of which are necessary to empower your organisation to take a proactive, whole workplace approach to employees' mental health.

In the two-part series of "Moving from performance measurement to enablement", part 1 highlighted the problems we have with current performance management process. In part-2, will be discussing on how organizations can move from performance management to performance enablement.
As stated in part 1, the annual ritual of performance management is dead, future belongs to performance enablement. Companies who will not leverage this change will potentially lose an opportunity to increase their revenue by up to 9% and reduce cost by up to 7%(Source:: Mckinsey).
The outcome of enabling performance are clear. Done right, it can lead to engaged at work & will be more effective as their careers progress. Let's look at how you can enable the performance.
1.Re-focus on the Core: Organization Culture
Organization culture is not about dogs at work or yoga (Ben Horowitz). Organization culture is about "how works get done and people alignment with organization customers". To understand your culture, start with analyzing or run diagnosis about what kind of culture or subcultures have been created in your teams in all these years. And then put down on paper what kind of culture is required to meet and exceed your customer expectations.The output of this activity will be the expected behaviors from the people in the organization. Identified behaviors should be constantly communicated to employees, and should NOT be limited to poster exercises. This may sound like a theory, but believe me, it's a science. The only difference is, the secret of this science and how to implement it was till date was available with a handful of companies.
2.Enabling Business Heads and Managers to be Better Coaches
There are two aspects which can enable managers and BU head's to be better coaches:
- The way communication is happens
- The way conversations are handled on giving feedback
The way communication is happens
Your business heads and managers are continuously focused on getting transactions done. They occasionally communicate with their team members about what they are feeling and what challenges they are facing. The medium of communication 'Town Halls' and 'Corporate Emails' are not effective. Managers and business heads need to be more colloquial with their communication so that people in their team feel more connected to them. The art of chasing numbers are easy, but the art of communication is difficult. You need to enable them to think creatively to communicate well.
The way conversations are handled on giving feedback
How frequently your manager gives feedback to their team members. Either it's annual, during the performance management process or when projects/assignment & targets turn red. You have to put in a discipline throughout the company to enable these conversations to happen more frequently (at least quarterly). And employees and managers should be kept in the center for this to avoid adoption failure.
3.Implement a Dynamic Goal Setting Framework
The business world is dynamic where targets and priorities keep changing continuously. But the goals to be achieved remain static throughout the year. And they largely don't get connected to the day to day work of the employee. An ideal goal setting framework gets connected with the daily, weekly, monthly & quarterly assignments. It should be simple enough to change and track. And it should have the ability to define the performance metrics for every role in the company. OKR is one such goal setting framework which acts more like a management tool and has the ability to link entire organization with CEO's priorities.
4.Enable More Transparency
Transparency can be enhanced at two level: – team level and company level.
4.1Transparency at team level
There are 3 types of team members. One who think he is a Hercules, one who know he is Hercules and the one who needs to know whether he can become Hercules or not. Within the team, if you can show the data and enable calling a "SPADE a SPADE", it will help in achieving excellence in execution.What is the different between a non-performer employee of corporate and start-up? In start-up, the shelf life of non-performers is maximum 2 to 3 month; in the corporate its 12 months or more. By enhancing transparency, you will be able to identify non-performers in lesser time and can start working on their development at the faster pace.
4.2Transparency at organization level
An employee always keeps guessing how my work is affecting overall organization progress. And few of them want exposure to more opportunities available, to enhance their career growth. A simple way to achieve this is by making all goals transparent at the company level. You need to show them the path for growth.Employees who want to grow will be able to figure out how to travel on that path.
To conclude, as an HR leader, being an early adopter of initiating the journey of performance enablement, you will be able to contribute towards business growth in a tangle manner. Newly empowered employees of the digital age are constantly looking for the value proposition from their employers. Companies, new and old alike, and their HR leaders cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
- Focus on how you can determine your sub-culture(s) and fix them.
- Enable your managers to be better coaches with continues feedback.
- Implement a more dynamic goal setting framework with goals making sense to employees.
- Enable transparency in teams with data to identify non-performers by implementing team level OKR's.

DISMANTLING THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WITHIN ME SO LOVE CAN THRIVE 's effect on me is to be much more aware of myself; motivations, behavior, and walking, or not walking in love - that is, in the Spirit. It is making a big difference. [As for judmentalism].... you have the answers to that to, so am finding the whole thing very useful, growthful, and interesting. I think it is a very helpful piece of writing, Spirit led with awakening powers for others (and me). Thank you Rene, thank you Jesus.
The book DISMANTLING THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WITHIN ME SO LOVE CAN THRIVE shows a great amount of wisdom concerning the Christian life that has been learned in the trenches. It shows grace and love rather than a bare legalism. Bill Reimer
I cannot make justice to the entire book titled: DISMANTLING THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WITHIN ME SO LOVE CAN THRIVE. But I am presenting what I took reading it. It is the expression of a personal experience as well as a process of transformation. It starts from the dark place of being with self and others. It makes sense to include the world as it is and make a personal connection towards a deeper understanding. I ask myself this question: how can I manage my own negativity in a troubled world that I perceive different from my own path?
This book has a genuine approach to what I call: "A search for truth". This truth will be the ground work to connect and distinguish between people's behavior and personal values. Deeper yet, it is a dichotomy of good and evil within the self. The book presupposes a conflict between what a human being is in the world and what the aim should be as an individual. It displays the most intricate network of emotions. This is the case where all emotions head into their own directions without making logical sense. The author depicts a good example where any human being could end up in the middle of nowhere regarding his own values. Not because those values are in the wrong place but, the individual being at the crossroad of good and evil (both inner and outer). There is a pathway created through revelations and understanding of social conduct. This book is very unique and based on personal experience; however, at a more profound analysis it discloses a theme for many of us. The theme is to stand up against evil without disturbing other people's quiet space and life. Rafael Tejada
"Wow... page 39 of DISMANTLING THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WITHIN ME SO LOVE CAN THRIVE really struck me for some reason. This kind of vocabulary around sin, and this kind of clear mapping of how it works, is so totally absent from our everyday imagination and discourse. And it's compassionate: OF COURSE angry people experience discord, emotional pain and sadness, and OF COURSE they will look to relieve these feelings through other means. Once we can see this, we can have compassion for them, forgive them, and challenge them to address the underlying problems - in ways you helpfully suggest. I am going to use this. Your brevity and clarity of thinking can really help people see themselves in a new light. It's like you've Windexed the window looking onto sin so we can see the issues more clearly. I really encourage you in this." Mark Munn
Wow Rene! Thank you for letting my eyes shine by showing your great Artwork. They are truly magnificent, even though I am not a proclaimed artist. Thank you and please! Keep on painting, and drawing!! The whole world deserve to have their eyes shine, too :) Kristina
It's very well written and the flow charts make it easy to get a grasp of the connections. I read connections I had never thought of before and I think it has power to change people because when I read through it I can't say I related too well (since my wife takes care of my pride!) No, but the after effect, not related to my thinking, was humbling. I found myself suddenly aware of gross prejudices and exclusionary thoughts that discounted people. (Everyone is worthy of respect) And I felt more open and hungry for the things of the Lord. So I hope many people read: DISMANTLING THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WITHIN ME SO LOVE CAN THRIVE from this Website and get blessed....Anonymous
I just finally had a chance to look into your Website. I read some poems and liked them a lot. I looked at Photos and was sad when they finished. I looked at Artwork and was fascinated, intrigued and full of wonder at the range and power of them. It's a lovely Website and a very nice photo of you. Really good - liked your book cover very much too. I thought some of the photos looked like they should be used for post cards. ...Really excellent. Much love to you and Sophie. Anita
Ever since I've seen your website, I've meant to comment. It is a work of passion and art and really very beautiful! I hope many more people will visit it! ...Love, Desiree
My favorite [contents from the new Website are] your Photos of the clouds...lovely and so peaceful! ...God Bless, Francesca

The project proposes to improve vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle operations at the Interstate 80 (I-80) / Gilman Street interchange in northwest Berkeley. The existing intersection controls, roadway geometry, and the high volumes of local and regional traffic on Gilman Street result in poor traffic operation and non-motorized access at and near the interchange. The proposed interchange project seeks to:
• Simplify and improve navigation and traffic operations on Gilman Street between the West Frontage Road and 2nd Street through the I-80 interchange so that congestion is reduced, queues are shortened, and merging and turning conflicts are minimized;• Improve mobility in the Gilman Street corridor;• Improve safety at Gilman Street intersections; • Improve access for the bikes/pedestrians traveling between the Bay Trail and Northern Berkeley;• Create a Gateway into North Berkeley.Proposed project components include reconfiguration of I-80 ramps and ramp intersections, and reconstruction of Gilman Street from north of West Frontage Road to south of 2nd Street. There is no freeway mainline improvement identified for the project. Currently, three build alternatives are being studied. Each build alternative provides at-grade pedestrian and bicycle improvements to enhance pedestrian connections and promote regional bicycle network continuity.

DALLAS -- You can ride a skateboard. You can play live music.
But during this year's Summerfest in Dallas, you can't do both.
The Battle of the Boards, Blades and Bands competition, designed to showcase local youths' skating and musical talents, never got past the drawing board.
Between the City of Dallas and Polk County, no one could agree on a place to hold the event.
The Dallas skate park seemed the obvious choice to organizers with the Dallas Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber sponsors Summerfest.
Dallas City Manager Roger Jordan and the city's park and recreation board instead suggested using the Rotary stage at Main and Academy streets, where the annual Sounds of Summer concerts take place.
Taking the advice to forgo the skate park, Chamber organizer Roger Pope took a modified proposal to the Polk County Board of Commissioners. They could build a temporary skate park in the Academy Building parking lot near the stage -- Polk County turf.
But the county can't afford insurance for a skateboarding event, said Administrator Greg Hansen. Even if the Chamber extended its liability, the county would have to deal with injuries before the event or before signing a release, Hansen said.
Commissioners recommended using the Dallas skate park. "Why build a temporary structure when you have a state-of-the-art facility over there?" said Commissioner Tom Ritchey.
The skate park was never designed for bands, Jordan countered. Dallas had to pull strings to get residents to accept noise from the current use.
"We've had concerns from the neighborhood just from skateboarding," Jordan said. He fears setting a precedent by opening the city's parks up to loud music.
Jordan called the dilemma over the competition ironic. Just having the facilities shows Dallas considers serving young people a priority, he said.
"We never thought that building the skate park here and the Rotary stage there could limit the activities of youth in the community."
Hosting a Summerfest event that appeals to younger residents shouldn't override the agreement Dallas made with skate park neighbors, said Mayor Jim Fairchild.
"We want to give them as many opportunities as we can, but we can't trample on other people's rights in the process."
Chamber organizers could still appeal their case to the City Council. If that happens, Jordan said, he'd get a legal opinion on whether City code could ever allow for music at the skate park.
If so, the council could decide whether to allow bands with its boards and blades.
But organizers say they've worked too hard to jump through any more hoops. They're already planning for next year's competition -- in Independence, Monmouth or Salem.

The state budget impasse has left more than $45 million in school funding up in the air, with about $3 million of that being unavailable to Cranston as the fiscal year gets underway.
Cranston's original budget request for FY 2018, which was $58,171,589, would be reduced back to the FY 2017 allocation of $55,226,925, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the Rhode Island Department of Education. That reduction of $2,944,664 is the fourth-largest drop across the state behind only Woonsocket, Pawtucket and Providence.
Superintendent Jeannine Nota-Masse said Tuesday that the district is safe in the short-term with fewer staff to pay during the summer and some projects that have already been paid for. However, she added that the reduced funding could become a major issue if it continues on for weeks or months.
"I will have to discuss this with the school committee and the mayor and his administration at some point, but right now we're OK for the short [term]," Nota-Masse said. "But the long-term impact of this as this goes on, I'm not sure how it will impact us as we start the school year. We will have to look at all outspending right now and see if this will impact us in the long term."
Nota-Masse said she could not predict just yet if any projects would have to be suspended or postponed as a result of the impasse.
"I can't speak to that right now," Nota-Masse said. "Short-term we're OK because a lot of things have been planned and paid for, but if this continues on for several weeks or more we have to look at it."
Cranston School Committee Chairperson Janice Ruggieri said that the schools would lose about $75,000 in their first payment from the state, though the losses would amount to more than $250,000 per payment after that.
There are additional hits the district could take as well.
"The other piece to this is that [until] the budget has passed, revenue sources are not being collected," Ruggieri said. "For example, the cigarette tax they were planning on putting in, there's no revenue being collected because it hasn't passed. It's a huge impact for every city and town, but for us it's just another hit in the year that hasn't been very kind to us."
Mark Schieldrop, assistant to Mayor Allan Fung, said Tuesday that any school improvement or renovation projects would not be affected by the potential reduction, as that money comes from bonds and not funding.
"Those projects, over time, we pay for over years and years through debt service," Schieldrop said. "The millions we're investing in the schools are from the bonds. We're going to try to work together as a city, as a whole to figure out the best way to get through this situation."
The district has already had to compensate for a $1.75 million shortfall through operational cuts in its already conservative budget. The details of where money was relocated were referenced in a Herald report from June 28.
Both Ruggieri and Nota-Masse said there was a school committee work session planned for Wednesday where the topic will be brought up. However, Nota-Masse added that the budget cannot be discussed "at length" because the agenda was created before the news came down from RIDE.
"We will maybe have a brief discussion about it, but it won't be discussed at length," Nota-Masse said. "It will be more in depth on Monday during the regular school committee session."
Jason, why no comment from Senator Gallo who is the Chair of Education Oversight? This is a disgrace to the children and taxpayers of Cramston. The Senate created this problem and should be held accountable for the fall out.

It seems guaranteed that Windows Phone 7 will launch with quite a few games, but that is still a few months off.
Fortunately with much of the software on Windows Phone 7 running in Silverlight, the resulting emulator app can run as easily on the web.
DroppyPop is a Windows Phone 7 game by Spritehand where you control a rag doll which is falling through an endless sky of balloons. The purpose of the game is to pop as many balloons as you can for points while avoiding the bombs and baddies along the way.
We will have to wait for the Windows Phone 7 version, but the Silverlight version can be played right now, right here. (See if you can beat my high score!)
