Testimonial from Parents
"I am writing to tell you how much our family enjoyed the L.A. County Junior Golf Camp held this past July at the Victoria Golf Course. Two of my three children were old enough to participate in the week-long activities. Neither had golfed prior to this program but after the first day they couldn't wait to return! While we were pleased with their enthusiasm for going, we were very impressed with the instructors. 'Respect' was the primary goal of the session-how to treat each other, property, and how to play the game respectfully. The camp was run professionally and with style. Thank you again for this opportunity for our children. We hope that this program will continue for many years." - Lynn
"Thank you so much for conducting the golf camp at El Cariso Golf Course in Sylmar this past week. My two daughters had a very positive experience. This was their first time golfing and they learned quite a bit. They also had fun with the other children and made new friends. We hope you will return next summer and offer such a program again. My son who is 12 was eager to attend your program but he started school August 26th. Perhaps next year you can add an earlier session for students who return to school earlier in the season. In any case, you and your colleagues are to be commended for your patience, knowledge, sportsmanship and enthusiasm and for sharing these with all the golf camp participants. Please keep us posted about any upcoming events. Heidi and Bridget send their regards." - Christine
"I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for the Los Angeles County Junior Golf Camp at Marshall Canyon Golf Course from July 29 to August 2. Both of my daughters, Chloe and Aubree, were in the afternoon session. They loved it. Mike McMonegal and his staff did a wonderful job teaching golf skills and etiquette. Most of all, they made the experience fun for my girls. This camp (and especially the staff running it) created an interest in the game of golf for my daughters that I hope stays with them as they grow and mature. I look forward to having them attend golf camp at Marshall Canyon again next summer." - Sonia
"As a parent, I truly appreciate your interest and generosity in giving our youth a free junior golf program. It is wonderful to recognize that there are many community sponsors like yourself interested in seeing golf programs succeed. We will certainly commit ourselves to fulfilling the expectations of the Junior Golf programs. You have a wonderful and professional staff. Tim Smith made all the newcomers feel welcomed and comfortable. Once again, thank you for your dedicated efforts. It is exciting to see community members support programs so enthusiastically." - Al
"Just wanted to let you know what a blast my son Charlie had in LA County Golf Program at Los Verdes this last week. As soon as awards were over, he putted for 30 minutes. After that, he wanted to go to the driving range. We ended up playing a 3-par that afternoon, hitting balls the next day, buying a new driver two days later, hitting more balls and playing 9 at Los Verdes on Saturday afternoon. Can you say hooked? You and your entire team had such a positive influence on him. He came home everyday with a huge smile on his face; this says a lot, because Charlie loves sports, been to camps, has a grandpa who is a religious golfer, but you guys really hit home. We hope to continue with your program wherever you may be. Please keep us posted." - JoAnne
"I am writing to share my experience with the LA County Jr. Golf Program. I have three boys who attended the Jr. Golf Program at El Cariso golf course in Sylmar for the first time in 2003. This was their basically first exposure to golf. I was stunned to learn that FREE golf lessons would be offered. I was even more stunned by the end of the week. My children LOVED the week...more than any other summer camp they have attended. It really sparked an interest in golf. All year for any birthday or holiday, my boys would ask for golf items. They golfed throughout the year. They were so eager to attend the program again this year. And they had another GREAT experience. Just as last year, the coaches were patient, and the program was fun and instructional. Mike McMonegal does a fantastic job of keeping things well organized. The entire program is very well executed. I understand you have been supportive of the program in the past. The program is an excellent opportunity for children to be exposed to golf. I hope you will continue to be a strong advocate for the Jr. Golf Program." - Becky
"Our sons, Alexander and Austin, participated in the L.A. County Junior Golf Program this summer at El Cariso Golf Course. We want to thank you for providing such a great opportunity for them to participate in the sport of golf. We appreciate the attention given to proper golf attire and etiquette. Tim Smith and all of the coaches were patient, kind, and fun. We appreciated the times they took to be there every morning, making this experience for the kids a priority. Just a couple of days ago, we went to the golf course to hit some balls on the driving range. Our boys both said that they missed their golf camp and couldn't wait until next year. We hope you continue to value this program with your funding and support." - Al and Kristen

We love corn when its tender and sweet! My North Scottsdale Farmer's Market delivery included some delicious looking corn so that was definatley on the menu for Saturday evening. I've always boiled it but this weekend my husband suggested we try grilling it. Quick search on the iphone and pulled up a simple allrecipes.com recipe. Peel back husks, remove silk, cover in butter and salt, put back husks, wrap in foil and grill for about 30 minutes. YUM! YUM! YUM! wow, this was good. Prep and cooking time is a lot longer but so delicious – so tender and juicy. And the smell brings back memories of grilled corn at the Del Mar Fair in California.
A little more searching online and I'm finding suggestions of adding garlic, chili pepper or lime juice – sounds delicious!

[T]oday, a delegation from Heathrow Airport visited West Cumbria as part of a nationwide tour of 65 sites, still in the running to be construction centres for Heathrow expansion.
'Logistics Hubs' will help ensure that businesses across the UK can form part of the airport's supply chain, enabling Heathrow's new runway to deliver a legacy of construction excellence across the UK.
Heathrow representatives will have visited eight sites across the North West. During each visit, the prospective Logistics Hub will have the opportunity to demonstrate the strengths of their proposal. The delegation will visit all longlisted locations by the end of July 2018, assessing their suitability before putting successful bids through to the next round.
Heathrow expansion is a critical national infrastructure project for the UK that is expected to deliver up to £16bn in economic benefits and 15,300 jobs across the North West.
This announcement comes after the long-awaited parliamentary vote, in which a majority of MPs voted in support of the new runway, clearing the way for Heathrow expansion to become Government policy, marking the end of the debate on the new runway and granting permission for the project's delivery. These continued site visits are just one of the ways that Heathrow is working to kick start the delivery of one of the UK's largest infrastructure projects.
Heathrow is pioneering Logistics Hubs, where components of the airport will be pre-assembled before being transported in consolidated loads to the airport. Logistics Hubs are essential in ensuring Heathrow expansion delivers for the whole country by spreading jobs, boosting productivity and modernising the construction industry outside of London and the South East. They will ensure that 60% of procurement spend will be outside of London, spreading the benefits of local investment up and down the country.
As well as the direct benefits, new research from WPI Economics shows that, if adopted more widely, the approach could spur growth in off-site construction and lead to a productivity boost worth £30 billion for the industry outside of London by 2025.
Heathrow's Logistics Hubs feature in the Government's Industrial Strategy, listed as an example of how to develop skills across the UK and create conditions where successful businesses can emerge. Heathrow has also begun working with infrastructure companies to explore how the final sites could be used for future projects, creating a long lasting legacy for Britain.
Lord Deighton, Chairman at Heathrow Airport said: "Heathrow expansion is a once in a generation opportunity to transform the UK construction industry, build for the future and deliver a lasting skills legacy for future generations. All of this comes at a pivotal time for our country, as it prepares itself to leave the EU and where we need to build for our future in both travel and trade.
"An expanded Heathrow is for all of Britain and the Logistics Hubs are instrumental in our aim to ensure that expansion spreads the huge potential of its £187 billion in economic benefits across the UK, whilst minimising the impact on the airport's local communities. Off-site construction is an innovative way for these balances to be met and we can't wait to see for ourselves the opportunity we have in working with the best businesses in the country."
Jamie Reed, Sellafield Ltd's head of corporate affairs, hosted the visit. He said: "This is a great example of us working in collaboration with local authorities and our supply chain together to create opportunities for economic development in our communities.
"It is very early days, but the Heathrow delegation were impressed by the levels of skills in manufacturing and engineering that we already have in West Cumbria, much of which is engaged in our supply chain at Sellafield. They were also interested to learn more about the capability that we are able to grow through the world class educational facilities at Lillyhall, with the Construction Skills Academy, National College for Nuclear, Lakes College and Gen2.
"Above all else, they were impressed that we were able to demonstrate the partnership working that a major development like this would require."
Sue Hayman, MP for Workington, said: "It is great to be on the longlist and to have had the opportuinity to demonstrate all the reasons we think West Cumbria would be an ideal location for one of Heathrow's Logistics Hubs."
Mark Fryer, Deputy Leader of Allerdale Borough Council, said: "This is a great opportunity for us as an organisation to be part of one the UK's most significant infrastructure projects, and we want to contribute to Heathrow's construction excellence legacy and the many other benefits Heathrow expansion will bring – West Cumbria is the perfect place for a development like this."
Pat Graham, Chief Executive of Copeland Borough Council, said: "We are really pleased to work together with our neighbours in Allerdale on what could, potentially, be a major coup for the whole of West Cumbria."

You could, but the site url is the hard one. (the changes will still be written in the dbase, so you would need that one as backup)
In such cases (call them hardcoded url's as in profiles image) i normally use phpmyadmin > search > edit through there.. (by search you got the knowledge you have had all...)
so all in all, changes are easier by phpmyadmin....
As you already mentioned : similar to Joomla + WP . edit the config file to represent the paths (if changed) and of course those that reference the dbase.
The only other thing to keep in mind (always backup minimal. the dbase) is the SITEurl and/or any hardcoded (full url's). (think for images/files which might be posted, and refer to domain used)
The sitelink (domain address) can be changed in the e107_Core table (do this if needed , also the backup line ; both are inside the core table).
Not noticed, byt who knows? the htaccess file on root. Where there any path changes..keep an eye on it
(discussion/debateble : i personally always use a plain / for siteurl, that way i never need to change dbase too, just some refs in config.
Can I change all of the database references in the back end?
When moving a Wordpress website I have found I can change the website urls in the back end, close it and then copy the database over to the new host. Of course I keep backups of the database before and after.
I backed up the database and files first. Can I login to the backend of e107, remove the /e107/ references in the examples below, close the backend and then copy over the files to the root folder?

The Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation handed out more than $2 million Tuesday in donations to area non-profits that help local children.
DESTIN � The Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation handed out more than $2 million Tuesday in donations to area non-profits that help local children.
A private ceremony was held Tuesday evening at Jimmy Buffett�s Margaritaville in Destin to hand out the largest donations in the foundation�s nine-year history. This year�s auction raised money for 12 local charities designed to help children along the Emerald Coast.
�All of these charities do programming,� said John Russell, president of the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation. �They�re teaching autistic children and they�re sheltering people and feeding people, but they all have to raise money. If they don�t have to work as hard to raise money because we did it, they can focus on their programming.�
The Destin Charity Wine Auction was started in 2006 and that first year the foundation collected $80,000 for the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation. Since that time, the auction has grown substantially and last year ranked as the sixth highest grossing wine auction in the nation having raised $1.375 million.
Children in Crisis, Children�s Volunteer Health Network, Emerald Coast Autism Center, the Emerald Coast Children�s Advocacy Center, Food for Thought, Habitat for Humanity of Walton County, Horizons of Okaloosa County, Opportunity Inc., Pathways for Change, Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast, Shelter House of Northwest Florida and Youth Village each received between $100,000 and $300,000 during Tuesday�s ceremony.
�Words can�t even express how much this money is needed for our organization and our families,� Teresa Imdieke, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Walton County.
L.A. Woodall, director of community development for Horizons, said the wine auction brings Horizons� fundraising to an entirely different level and represents about 25 to 30 percent of their total annual fundraiser collections.
�They provide the local charities an opportunity to participate in a national class fundraiser,� Woodall said. �Horizons would never be able to put on a wine-tasting event, even if we coupled with many other charities locally, with the success they put this one on.�
Russell said he hopes the wine auction continues to grow in the years ahead. The foundation�s forecast is for the auction to raise $5 to $6 million annually in the next five years.
�To me, it�s amazing the level of generosity you see (in this area),� Russell said.
DESTIN � Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation donated $2.035 million to 12 Northwest Florida children�s charities at a private ceremony at Jimmy Buffet�s Margaritaville Tuesday evening.
The donations were the foundation�s largest charitable distribution to date, representing a 48 percent increase from last year. Below is a look at how the funds were distributed and how they will be used:

An uncommon first-round rematch in the NCAA Tournament has the Montana Grizzlies in an unusual position going into its game Thursday night against Michigan.
The Griz lost 61-47 to the Wolverines in last year's first round, giving them a familiarity with their opponent but also one big question to answer: what can they do to change the result this time around?
That will start on offense.
After Montana led for most of the first half of last year's matchup, the game changed early in the second half. The Griz didn't score for almost 10 minutes, allowing Michigan to push its lead from three points to 14 and essentially ending the game. During that stretch, the Griz looked stagnant in the half-court offense. Their ball movement slowed down, and Montana missed 12 straight shots and committed four turnovers during the run.
Overall, it was the worst offensive performance of the season for Montana, beating out an early-season loss against Stanford in which they scored 54 points.
This year, Michigan is one of the very best defenses in the nation again, allowing just 58.6 points per game, second in the country behind Tony Bennett's Virginia Cavaliers.
The Wolverines play man-to-man in the half court, rarely switching ball screens. Like Bennett at Virginia, John Beilein likes to pack the paint and not allow anything at the rim.
"Just straight man-to-man," said Sayeed Pridgett, who scored just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting in last year's game. "They try to pack it in, make it so you have to take a lot of tough shots outside. They don't want to give up any shots inside, so they just pack it in and make you shoot from the perimeter and try to contest it."
The Griz have already shown that they can limit Michigan's offense. And Montana returns a wealth of players with NCAA Tournament experience.
If the Griz shoot 32 percent from the field again, though, that won't matter. At practice Monday, Travis DeCuire was coy about the potential adjustments he might make on offense.
"They're a phenomenal defensive program, we've got to find a way to get good shots," DeCuire said. "I think that some of the adjustments we've made offensively this year play into that, so I think there's opportunities for us. … We are a little faster and a little more efficient offensively than last year. That's all I can say."
Several players mentioned playing faster as well. UM senior point guard Ahmaad Rorie shot just 6-of-17 from the field in last year's game while being guarded by Zavier Simpson, one of the best defensive guards in the country.
"They play the pack, so I think what we have to do is get out in transition," Rorie said. "That's what I've kind of been talking to the coaches about. I feel like we need to play fast, not try to slow it down, because that works in their advantage."
Montana jumped out to a 10-0 lead in last year's game, with a couple run-out buckets early. After that, it seemed like Michigan started to focus more on getting back quickly. Officially, neither team scored any fast-break points, which testifies to the slow pace of that game.
Montana has gotten into transition plenty of times this year, but the Grizzlies aren't a running team. Against Big Sky competition, they preferred getting into the halfcourt, working the ball down low to senior center Jamar Akoh before playing inside-out.
Even when Akoh went out with a knee injury almost a month ago, that role transferred to Pridgett. The unorthodox post went from getting double-digit field goal attempts in five out of 11 conference games before Akoh's injury to shooting the ball at least 10 times in 11 of the 12 games since then.
"I feel like our offense is good, and sometimes we do play too slow," Rorie said. "I feel like when we get out and run, that allows everybody to score and everybody to get energy. Our bench gets going, our crowd gets going. But when we're just playing half-court offense, I don't feel like that's when we're at our best."
Against Michigan, that brings up an interesting paradox for Montana.
Typically, underdogs want to have as few possessions in a game as possible, because it limits the opportunities for the higher seed's talent advantage to show, and brings more chance into the game.
Grind it out, keep the score low on both sides, hit a couple 3s late, and boom — that's the typical way to overcome a talent deficit in the tournament.
But Montana's best chance to score will probably be to speed the game up, so that the Grizzlies can get shots against Michigan's defense before it's fully set up and packed in.
They made a token effort at it in last year's game, with DeCuire extending defensive pressure to full or three-quarters court for a few possessions early as Montana took its biggest lead, and then later in the second half as they tried to snap out of their drought.
This year, the Grizzlies are even more equipped to run. Fabijan Krslovic is gone, Akoh is out, and the team starts five guards, including players like Rorie, Pridgett and Michael Oguine who are devastating in transition.
And the only way to survive Michigan's suffocating defense might be to outrun it.
"I feel like our team needs to run a lot more than we have in the past, because that's where we excel," Pridgett said. "So I feel like being in transition will help us win that game."
Montana has rarely faced a player like Michigan's 7-foot-1 center Jon Teske, who would be comfortably the tallest player in the Big Sky and is skilled enough to average nearly 10 points per game this year.
Montana will have to choose from a bunch of seemingly overmatched options to guard the big man. Does DeCuire put Donaven Dorsey back into the starting lineup? Put the 6-foot-5 Pridgett on him? Take his best wing defender, Bobby Moorehead, off star freshman Iggy Brazdeikis to guard Teske? Give a bunch of minutes to 6-foot-10 freshman Mack Anderson?
Whichever he chooses, Teske will have an advantage.
But on the other end, Beilein will have to answer his own questions about what to do with the 7-footer. Pridgett is one of the quickest, most savvy finishers in the Big Sky. Put Teske on him, and he'll draw him out, then go around him.
"Honestly, I don't really see a challenge," Pridgett said. "Just make sure I'm more physical than him, because I know he probably doesn't really like being physical. He's pretty tall, so me being lower than him in a defensive stance will hurt him in a different way. He has an advantage in being tall, so if he's going to shoot over me, I just feel like I have to be ultra-aggressive with him, just to make him feel uncomfortable."
Both Dorsey and Moorehead, meanwhile, can drag the big man all the way out to the 3-point line, and either shoot it on him or at least get him out of the paint. Dorsey, for instance, savaged Eastern Washington's more traditional big man pair of Mason Peatling and Jesse Hunt in the Big Sky championship, making all four of his 3s.
Somebody will have a advantage in Teske's matchup Thursday. Which team it turns out to be might be a big part of the outcome.
"He's a good big man, but he's kind of slow-footed," Rorie said. "So whoever he's on, we're just going to try to go at him on the perimeter. We're going to bring him out and have him guard us out there, so I think that will be a matchup problem for him."

- Taxi: stations are situated in front of the exits to Terminals 1 and 2. Count between 20 and 30 minutes to reach the city centre.
- Aerobus: an express bus service which links the airport with the city centre (Plaça Espana or Plaça Catalunya). Departures are approximately every 10 minutes from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
- Bus TMB N° 46: this bus runs from 4.50 a.m. to 11.50 p.m. from both terminals. The advantage is that it stops at more places than the Aerobus but it takes a little bit longer.
- Night bus Nitbus N°17: this bus provides a service from 9.55 p.m. to 4.45 a.m. It runs from both terminals.
- The RENFE train runs every 30 minutes from the airport to the city centre and from the city centre to the airport. From the airport, it stops at Barcelona Sants, Passeig de Gracia or Clot. These are also the subway stations.

By The Korea Herald/ANN
According to the Prime Minister's secretariat, Lee will visit Japan from Oct. 22 to 24 for the enthronement events of Japanese Emperor Naruhito. Lee will attend the enthronement banquet on Oct. 22, and another banquet hosted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Oct. 23, the secretariat said in a statement.
It has not been confirmed whether Lee will hold a bilateral meeting with Abe, but political observers say a meeting between the two could serve as a chance to ease heightened tensions between the two countries.
Following the top Korean court's ruling in October last year that ordered Japanese companies to compensate South Korean victims of forced labor during World War II, the relationship between the two allies has soured to its lowest point in recent months, as Japan has refused to accept the court's decision.
Japan has imposed tighter export restrictions on Korea. Seoul has hit back with similar export control plans and filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization over Tokyo's export measures.
It also decided to withdraw from a military intelligence-sharing agreement with Tokyo.
Lee and Abe's meeting, if realized, would be the first time for top-level leaders of the two countries to meet in over a year. President Moon Jae-in and Abe last met in September last year, on the sidelines of a regional economic forum in Vladivostok, Russia.
In August, Kim Sang-jo, Cheong Wa Dae's chief policy secretary who served as the chairman of the Fair Trade Commission, said the Japanese enthronement events would be a "crucial (turning) point" for the bilateral ties of the two countries.
The Korean prime minister is known to have ties with Japanese figures, having worked as a Tokyo correspondent before turning to politics.
Japanese media outlets, however, said it was "unlikely" Lee and Abe would meet, citing unnamed sources. In a report last week, Kyodo Agency said meetings for Lee may be arranged with former Japanese prime ministers.
Emperor Naruhito ascended the throne in May, as his father Emperor Emeritus Akihito became the first Japanese monarch to abdicate in over 200 years.
When Japanese Emperor Emeritus Akihito ascended the throne in November 1990, Korea sent Prime Minister Kang Young-hoon to attend the event.

The range and accuracy of laser distance meters like the Leica Disto E7100i, D2, E7300, E7400, E7500, E7500i, D810 and S910, all depend on light conditions and reflectivity of the measuring target.
For Leica Geosystems it is important that the instruments not only perform under perfect laboratory conditions, but above all under the kind of everyday working conditions encountered on construction sites. This is why, working together with external experts, the company has developed an ISO standard by which laser distance meters can be tested and compared with each other.
As far as accuracy and range are concerned this actually means that the specified performances are met under practical working conditions and not just under those perfectly prepared in the laboratory.
A customer who purchases a laser distance meter which conforms to the ISO standard can arrive, at reliable conclusions with respect to the maximum range and accuracy achievable under defined measuring conditions. This is crucial for assessing the advantages for everyday use on the construction site.

In everyday business companies generate a wealth of information. Ranging from personnel and production to sales data, and are central to both planning and reporting. In the course of its information and documentation task the controlling department consolidates all the necessary data and provides the necessary information to the management levels.
Though the incorporation of several companies into the SAP system provides some topics that can quickly drive the effort into unnecessarily high dimensions. Not only a large number of companies but also the mixture of SAP and non-SAP companies cause the central controlling to lose the overview of which company has already provided data and which has not. There is also a lot of confusion in the communication path itself, as some companies load their data files into a folder and yet others send it to the controlling department via mail.
Smooth monthly reporting in SAP BW
In order to enable all involved persons a smooth reporting, the central controlling must be able to be informed of the status of the individual companies at any time. Whereas the individual companies need to be given the opportunity to prepare and submit their data in a way appropriate for them.
Concerning (monthly) reporting three goals are outstanding:
- Central controlling department is the cornerstone of all operational processes
Controlling starts and models processes in the system, creates and manages key figures and validations and enters specifications directly into SAP BW. Completely without programming. In addition, clearly arranged dashboards are available to provide information on the status of the individual companies with just a few clicks.
- Both SAP companies and non-SAP companies are easily integrated
Employees of all companies must be able to submit their data within a few minutes. Our customers appreciate that AGIMENDO solutions integrate companies via browser-based connections and the provided Excel upload, that allows a validation of data already during transmission
- The IT remains master of the system and is able to execute improvements at any time
From IT departments of our customers, we receive the feedback that reporting solutions must, of course, fit into the SAP strategy and, regardless of the chosen solution, they have to keep absolute control over the system. Therefore, the approach of integrating the entire reporting process into the SAP system by means of a browser-based connection of the individual companies is always welcome.

He separated from the others, who continued their journey without him. He could follow the rough path later. Lowering himself onto soft pine needles, he saw a stunning stand of Mountain-Laurel under a nearby canopy of maple leaves. He sipped a small cup of weak tea to sooth his body, sore from the trek. Refreshed, he lit his pipe before symbolically depositing his pain in the thick, unpassable Mountain-Laurel branches and inhaling hope from the slight scent of a myriad of blossoms. Watching the smoke swirl upwards, he saw visions of a future for the first time since the loss of his family.
As Rushing Waters reached into a bag for a pipe he'd carved out of Mountain Laurel wood, he turned his eyes to the campfire he'd built from the shrub's kindling. No
embers posed danger of starting a forest fire. Fortunately, recent rains were a further protection.
As Rushing Waters relaxed, his thoughts began to wander. He recalled the balmy days and cool nights that welcomed him as he descended Laurel Mountain and hiked enthusiastically toward Loyalhanning in the spring of 1743. At the bottom of the mountain he'd joined a small group in temporary shelters.
Settling in, he explored the region, seeking healing herbs, including Mountain-Laurel leaves. The Lenape herb-gathering ritual obligated him to leave the first plant he found untouched, a difficult task since the plant was so plentiful. After designating one as first, he buried a small amount of tobacco in the earth on its east side. Then he took his favorite pipe, filled it with tobacco and lit it. The ascending smoke carried his intercessory prayers to both the Creator and the spiritual forces governing vegetation. The ritual completed, he gathered the Mountain-Laurel leaves necessary to provide remedies for his people.
While crushing the leaves into powder, Rushing Waters raised a two-fold prayer to the Creator, seeking blessings for and effectiveness of the herbs. Then he cooked a mixture of the leaf-powder and bear fat in a small crock over an open fire, making a salve that would soothe the sore, inflamed joints of the elderly, whose fingers were often as gnarled as the Mountain-Laurel branches. The salve was also useful for many skin diseases.
Rushing Waters also used the leaves to prepare an internal remedy that acted as both an astringent in active hemorrhages, diarrhea and flux and a sedative. Remembering his grandmother's dire warnings about its poison, he used it cautiously. He wanted the medicine to heal, not kill.

Every time I step outside my door to go about my daily business, I brace myself for the inevitable catcalls and various street harassment. I am used to these catcalls. Catcalls are a constant reminder that I am a woman in a patriarchal society. However, I still get angry at the catcalls and the unwanted, unsolicited attention thrown my way on the street. I still get riled up when I am accosted on the street by strangers who have no qualms about asking me to smile for them. Even though these are daily occurrences, I still get angry and sad each time it occurs. For example:
Just this morning I was rushing to make an appointment, when out of the blues, a guy suddenly stuck his coconut shaped head mere inches from my face and asked "Where is the smile?" I had to take a deep breath to resist the urge to make a snarky comment like "Your coconut head just smashed a month's worth of smiles from my face".
It still beats me why men think every woman who dared to walk the street owe them a smile. I bet this toady, ignoramus man would not dare stick his coconut head on the face of another man he hardly knows on the street and go "Where is the smile?" He would probably get punched in the face and people would say he deserved to be punched. But, if I as a woman had reacted that way or even caused a scene, I would be called an overreacting, sensitive, ungrateful bitch. Yeah, it's a sexist, chauvinistic world alright, different rules apply. All I could do was side-stepped his coconut head and walked away from his toady eyes without a comment. I was not about to let one of the many chauvinist ignoramuses walking the street make me miss an important appointment. The sad part is, most times, women do not even have the choice to just walk away as my next sexist encounter shows. [Read more…]

I don't play current games like normal people do, so here are my Top 5 Games in February 2015: I would do a top 10 list, but that might just be too excessive. From the look of this top 5 it feels very role-playing with some deviation to Origin.
I really enjoyed this and I didn't make the same mistake of putting it on hard. The combat was fun, although a grind at times, the humor was spot on having a character that's in love with himself and another in love with him too. Even if he wasn't Cthulhu it would still be a funny RPG. Its more than just the humor, combat and Dragon Quest nostalgia, when you get done with the game there's a whole new campaign with different characters and bosses even if its the same location. Its just interesting to see a game go that far.
With a steep 1990s style learning curve, I finally got into Theme Hospital. I've heard of it, but never played it before. I sank a lot of time into it mostly due to crashes and one of the strangest save systems I've ever had to put up with. Not to mention a few crashes here and there. Its still a fun game full of that quirky 90s charm, but the controls feel pretty dated. The game has a sadistic sense of humor when it comes to disease, such as bloaty head syndrome gets cured by popping the head and reflating it to normal size. Playing through the campaign it reminded me what modern tycoon games are missing and that's scenarios. So many are just a single ongoing campaign that just gets dull when you've perfected everything.
Despite people hating it, I still really enjoyed it, although it feels like its starting to drag on. The new enemy redesigns feel extra gory and horrifying instead of almost sleek and perfect. There are so many new enemy types as well. Everyone complained about soldiers in the game and they make up maybe 0.01% of all enemies yet people still complained about them. Another thing people complained about when the game came out was the microtransactions. I have yet to find them. Of course it is years since the game has come out. There's still a lot of DLC though.
Here I am talking about the bad, when there's a lot of good here for people to complain about. They take the atmosphere from space down to a frozen dead planet. Bosses turned painful, situations had me stuck, but you know I still liked it even if it puts a strain on my body while playing it. I found myself getting a lot more into the story than the previous two games, but maybe that's because there were more than two people alive to live out the story.
I sank more than 24 hours in Two Worlds despite how many flaws it has. It was fun to explore and see the beautiful sights. While Skyrim and Elder Scrolls games are the king, I feel like they could learn something about terrain variety from Two Worlds. It also had hundreds if not thousands of background characters all of which had very little to say, but at least the towns and settlements feel alive. The only downside is most everything else. Combat feels awful, but you can run from combat.
Its really just a thing of beauty. 99% of the entire game is outdoors with only a few dungeons. I'd also say 10% of the game's humanoid population lives in a human settlement. Everyone is either in a bandit camp or orc settlement. There was a sense of joy that came with ragdolling enemies all over the place with my giant club. Another thing that made it great was how bad the voice acting is, but at least they had it instead or reading novels worth of text.
Enclave was and still is an amazing first and third person gem of a game. Its like Quake and Morrowind had a baby. Its a lot of fun with the exception of some of the last levels. Then when you beat the game it turns on its head and you need to play the evil campaign with new levels and old levels in reverse. It just feels so good being agile, shooting enemies or meleeing them to death. That is unless you play as an archer or assassin. Enemies just move too fast for me to shoot them. I could probably play this again and again.
Its more than just fast action, its how each and every level uses different assets. There are even giant bosses and other things that break up first person melee like crossbow turrets, mini games and taking control of a giant bone lord. Rescuing hostages and having them become playable classes for any future level. Its a lot of fun with so much variety. There's also a laughably awful shark model that rips into you.

Prehistoric Creatures
This half term we have loved learning about dinosaurs, fossils and cave men! We have enjoyed lots of lovely stories but we liked 'Dinosaurs Love Underpants' the most because it made us laugh a lot! We learnt about how careful we had to be when digging for dinosaur bones so that we didn't break them, this was lots of fun because it was so messy! We also made our very own dinosaur fossils which was really tricky, we had to be careful because we didn't want to ruin our mould before it set.

Latest coronavirus patient had visited farm, Saudi official says
Investigators in Saudi Arabia learned that the latest person to die of a novel coronavirus (NCoV) infection had visited a farm before he got sick, according to a Saudi Arabian health official. Similar findings have been reported in at least 2 of the 14 other NCoV cases reported since the virus emerged last year. The latest case, involving a 39-year-old man in Saudi Arabia, was announced by the World Health Organization yesterday. Ziad A. Memish, MD, deputy minister for public health in Saudi Arabia, told CIDRAP News by e-mail, "What we know is that the patient has not traveled recently outside KSA [the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] and he has been to a farm outside Riyadh owned by his brother." Previous reports revealed that a Qatari man who was treated for NCoV infection in Germany last fall owned a farm where some goats had been sick before he fell ill himself. Also, a Saudi Arabian gym teacher whose NCoV illness was reported in November had visited a farm 3 days before he got sick. The source of the novel virus has not been identified, though it is related to coronaviruses found in bats. Memish commented that all patients hospitalized with pneumonia in Saudi Arabia are being screened for NCoV infection, "a strategy not implemented to my knowledge by any country in the world and that's why we continue to sporadically detect new cases. It will be good if other countries apply the same strategy to give the world an indication how wide spread this disease." Eight of the 15 confirmed cases have occurred in Saudi Arabia.

New smallpox drug for US stockpile stirs controversy
The US government last week received its first shipment of a drug to treat smallpox infection in the event of a bioterror event, stirring debate about the size and cost of the program, the New York Times reported yesterday. The antiviral drug called tecovirimat (Arestvyr) is made by SIGA Technologies, which received a $463 million order for 2 million doses of the drug to be added to the Strategic National Stockpile, alongside about 300 million smallpox vaccine doses. The government is paying about $200 per 14-day treatment course, an amount Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) director Robin Robinson, PhD, said is reasonable, based on federal purchasing guidelines and the price of other commercial antiviral drugs. However, D.A. Henderson, MD, MPH, a biodefense expert who is now with the Center for Biosecurity at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, told the Times that after the Sep 11 terror attacks the drug was expected to cost only $5 to $10 per treatment course. Dr Richard Ebright, a bioweapons expert at Rutgers University, said the drug is appropriate for the stockpile, but he questioned the need to order so much of it. An official from SIGA countered that the price is reasonable compared with other patented drugs. In a press release yesterday, SIGA announced delivery of the first 190,000 drug courses under its contract with BARDA and said it may begin collecting payment under the BARDA contract once it has delivered 500,000 of the 2 million courses.

FDA warns about heart condition associated with azithromycin
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday that the antibiotic azithromycin (Zithromax or Zmax) can cause fatal irregular heart rhythm. The condition, known as prolonged QT interval, stems from drug-related abnormal changes in the heart's electrical activity. Patients at particular risk "include those with known risk factors such as existing QT interval prolongation, low blood levels of potassium or magnesium, a slower than normal heart rate, or use of certain drugs used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias," the agency said. The announcement follows an FDA review of studies by medical researchers and a manufacturer of the drug. The drug's labels have been updated to strengthen the "Warnings and Precautions" section. "The potential risk of QT prolongation should be placed in appropriate context when choosing an antibacterial drug: Alternative drugs in the macrolide or fluoroquinolone drug classes also have the potential for QT prolongation or other significant side effects," the FDA advised healthcare professionals. Last May a New England Journal of Medicine study found an increased risk of cardiovascular death associated with azithromycin.

Taliban halts polio vaccination campaign in remote Afghan district
The Taliban has halted a polio vaccination campaign in Waygal district in the remote and mountainous Nuristan province of Afghanistan, the UK's The Guardian reported yesterday. "For the past 3 years Waygal district has been under the Taliban, they are very strong there," said provincial governor Tamim Nuristani. "For the last 2 years the vaccine process went on in the district, but this year they stopped it." Afghanistan is one of only three nations in which polio is endemic, along with Nigeria and Pakistan. Neighboring Pakistan has also struggled with forces intent on preventing polio vaccination on religious or anti-Western grounds. Several people involved in vaccination campaigns have been killed in Pakistan in recent months.

City of Lies (Book 2: The Keepers Trilogy)
by Lian Tanner
w/ Illustrations (inside) by Sebastian Ciaffaglione
Delacorte Press (Random House), 2011
Hardcover, 278 pages. Juvenile Fiction
12-year-old Goldie, impulsive and bold, relies on her skills as a liar and a thief to try to rescue her captured friends from the child-stealers running rampant in the City of Spoke.~Publisher's Summary.
Goldie isn't the only accomplished Liar and Thief to return in this sequel to Museum of Thieves. We get to experience a whole City of Liars. Shoot, even the City is a Liar. I adore the author of this children's book series, I really do.
Lian Tanner's sequel to the brilliant Museum of Thieves is among the better of Book Twos that I have read. In City of Lies Tanner sets us right back down into the City of Jewel and Goldie's life. It is only a short while after the ending of Museum of Thieves and everyone is still reeling from the effects of Book One. Tanner reminds the reader a bit of the first, but not a great deal. A few interspersed notes by the 3rd person narrator and we are off on this new adventure. There is a diverting cleverness in bringing the Reader into this new twist swiftly and with such immersion—Tanner needs the Reader to be present in the now of the book. And besides, you've read the first book. You have, haven't you? Because you really should.
The shine of the first story's victory has taken some tarnish. One, Goldie is unwilling to become the Fifth Keeper of the Museum of Dunt as she is meant to be. Two, Jewel's parents are still adjusting to having independent children and the absence of the Blessed Guardians. Yes, the change is a good thing, but it is so different from how they were raised. The indoctrinations are not easily shrugged off and when accidents begin to occur a murmuring begins. Three, the Fugleman has returned—and is "a changed man."
Goldie claims her reason for refusing the appointment as Fifth Keeper is that her parents are sick. And they are. Their time as prisoners of the House of Repentance was traumatic. The parents are also rather clinging (3). Theirs is a chain of a different sort than the first book's. But they aren't the only ones holding Goldie back. While their worry is infectious, Goldie herself is a problem—specifically that voice that so infamously led her to triumph in Museum of Thieves.
Goldie has come to believe that the voice only brings her trouble; which isn't a lie. In part, Goldie longs for a normal childhood, a boring one. This inevitably wars with her more adventurous and independent side that has a daring job to do using her unusual and oft socially unacceptable skill-set. She decides to ignore the voice while undertaking her search for Toadspit and Bonnie in the foreign City of Spoke. In addition to sorting out who she should and will be and whether the voice is worth listening to, Goldie must also navigate a strange city amidst their Festival of Lies where everything is turned inside out and upside down. How does one tell a lie in order to find the truth, and how does one find the already hidden when everything is to be masked?
In the kind of imaginative turn that I adore with Frances Hardinge's stories, Lian Tanner creates this marvelous Festival of Lies. Everyone must speak in lies and the City itself participates by telling a few Big Lies to the lucky few. Yes, City of Lies maintains the idea that magical (and metaphoric) possibility exists not only within a person or creature, but within Place as well. Beside the focus of a lie-celebrating City of Spoke, the novel returns us to the strange Museum of Dunt occasionally, a Place that has revealed its own consciousness in Museum of Thieves. As in the first book, the state of unrest is linked to the state of the City and the children—Goldie and Toadspit in particular. The Places externalize anxiety and create a fun sort of tension in the novels. In City of Thieves a terrifying beast in on the loose and on the hunt in the Museum, in the City of Jewel, and in the City of Spoke. There are all sorts of dangers and only the daring need apply.
I read an article recently about leading women in Romantic Comedies and it remarked upon how the flaws the writers must give them are, in actuality, trite. She can't not be beautiful, so let's make her a klutz. I don't think Romantic Comedies have cornered the market on this kind of characterization. If not negligibly flawed, many an Adventure Heroine is formulaic enough to undermine (or even nullify) the conflict. Tension is muted because the flaw is hardly considerable or easily overcome by the perfections. Goldie's flaws create serious conflict, and ones that are identifiable enough within the Reader that adrenaline and worry surface.
Goldie's abilities put her at odds with her society. The risks in using her beliefs and skills to create change are significant. Entering the second book, we know that those risks have some reward and consequence, but we feel victorious and that Goldie is capable. She might fumble a bit, but she had come into herself in book one, had she not? But in City of Lies, Tanner creates a separation for the character and Reader. Goldie falters and is somewhat immobilized by responsibilities, distrust of herself, and –let's face it—weariness. Enter Goldie No One, a reinvention of a self in order to free a self. It is the masked ball, the move to a new city, an opportunity to overcome the limitations pressed upon her by circumstance and expectation—it is a Festival of Lies. Goldie is back to a different kind of beginning, and the conflict of being able to trust who she is still becoming. Should she trust that voice in the back of her head?
Tanner has created a complex character ever in the state of changing, of becoming more. Goldie No One is an aspect this protagonist must address; throwing her into a Festival of Lies is a brilliant move. She has to find her friends, (while without knowing it) find herself, and she has to discern what is mere diversion and what is true and real. Who and what are sincere? Do you create your destiny or do you run blindly along with it—or is there a state in between? How do you interpret the signs?
Who might a young girl become when unencumbered, or, even, encumbered by someone else? Inhabiting the dreams, the adventures of others is a nice move in an Adventure story rife with intrigues. And I enjoy the idea that a person is a place; a museum, a collection of historical fact and figures; that the character might not only inhabit another's history/adventure, but that they might in turn inhabit the character—whether the character be an actual building or city, or a different plane, or a person or creature. The present can be affected by the past, as well as the lies, in positive and negative ways, tangibly or intangibly. [Those black/white messages of children's early years become more gray–a lovely lovely shade of gray.]
Despite the disguises, the essence of who someone is appears to remain much the same. This can be infinitely reassuring, or a terrible prickling up the spine. The Lies can be fun, but they can be quite deadly. Little is as it seems, and City of Lies is rife with uncertainty.
City of Lies is everything I want to see as a Book 2 of 3. It bridges to a third and final book with the promise of a great denouement. It also holds an arch of its own: introducing great new characters, providing a mystery to solve, and creating, developing, and gifting a sense of resolution. It doesn't really stand alone, nor does it apologize for the fact. I am satisfied by good story, by great writing, and I wait longingly for the third book.
If you like Frances Hardinge or Adrienne Kress, you will like Ms. Tanner's The Keepers books (and vice versa). For boys and girls alike; ages 9 & up (likely to 12/13); lovers of Utopia/Dystopia fiction and/or of fantasy; and especially for those tired of romances in every book they read.
My review of Museum of Thieves.
