Q: Drag and Drop images into Jpanel and put them in app directory I found this tutorial: Drag and dropping files to a Java desktop application
It correctly shows the panel and enables the drop-and-dragging but it sends out error
Can only iterate over an array or an instance of java.lang.Iterable

referring to the passage:
  for (File file : files) {
       // Print out the file path
        System.out.println("File path is '" + file.getPath() + "'.");
    }

I really don't know how to solve the problem...
Could you plese help me?
Update:
If I try doing this:
List File[] files = (File[]) transferable.getTransferData(flavor);

it keeps giving me an error...
So I tried doing this:
File[] files = (File[]) transferable.getTransferData(flavor);

and the code is no longer underlined but it keeps not working.
I also found another tutorial:
how to drag and drop files from a directory in java
It doesn't work of course -.-'
I think the closest thing I have to the solution is this complete example:
import java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor;
import java.awt.datatransfer.UnsupportedFlavorException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.*;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class FileDragDemo extends JPanel {
private JList list = new JList();

public FileDragDemo() {
  list.setDragEnabled(true);
  list.setTransferHandler(new FileListTransferHandler(list));

  add(new JScrollPane(list));
}

 private static void createAndShowGui() {
  FileDragDemo mainPanel = new FileDragDemo();

  JFrame frame = new JFrame("FileDragDemo");
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
  frame.pack();
  frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
  frame.setVisible(true);
}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
          createAndShowGui();
        }
     });
  }
}

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
class FileListTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
private JList list;

public FileListTransferHandler(JList list) {
  this.list = list;
 }

public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
  return COPY_OR_MOVE;
}

public boolean canImport(TransferSupport ts) {
  return ts.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor);
}

public boolean importData(TransferSupport ts) {
   try {
     @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
     List data = (List) ts.getTransferable().getTransferData(
           DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor);
     if (data.size() < 1) {
        return false;
     }

     DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
     for (Object item : data) {
        File file = (File) item;
        listModel.addElement(file);
     }

     list.setModel(listModel);
     return true;

  } catch (UnsupportedFlavorException e) {
     return false;
  } catch (IOException e) {
     return false;
  }
}
}

The only problem is that I want the panel to show all the images I upload, instead it only displays the last entry

A:
Nice article... Just please change List files to List< File > files :) Again great article!

^First comment on that link.
also when coding be weary of some tutorials from 2011 etc. as they can often teach you the wrong way to do something. Not that i know enough about this topic to suggest anything better.

H+H UK's managing director (right) with Michael Fallon MP.
Environmental best
Published: 29 September, 2009
SEVENOAKS: Aircrete producer H+H UK were the hosts for the first of the Manufacturing Advisory Service's 11 regions to launch an Environmental Best Practice Programme, where guest of honour Michael Fallon MP learned about award-winning carbon-reduction measures at the plant in Sevenoaks, Kent.
H+H is a recent winner of two Sunday Times Green Awards for the carbon reducing measures applied to its construction products, which are manufactured from 80% recycled ingredients.
H+H aircrete is an insulating structural specification to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes, which is manufactured from coal-fired power stations' waste fuel ash waste that would otherwise be destined for landfill.
Michael Fallon said: "It is encouraging to visit a flourishing local company at the forefront of the carbon challenge facing all manufacturers. Expert guidance is now available for every manufacturer to embrace the low carbon economy, to take advantage of its potential for growth."
Following H+H's certification to the Carbon Trust Standard, MAS South East has worked closely with the manufacturer 's production team at Sevenoaks to network best practice with other companies in the county. Through the Resource Efficiency Club, carbon-reducing measures such as energy efficiency, water reduction, offsetting and waste collection have been addressed.
For more information about the Environmental Best Practice Programme, contact your local Manufacturing Advisory Service that will be listed on the internet at www.mas.bis.gov.uk.

Your reputation as a trendsetter in the field of wireless technology has long been revered (we've read the books).
But sometimes you feel like taking a break from all that continuous pioneering. Hearken back to a simpler time with the firmly-rooted-in-yesterday YUBZ TALK mobile phone receiver.
The sturdy, classic handset, with a spiral cord that plugs directly into your cell phone (unless your specific model requires an adapter), might initially remind you of Grandmother's house, but there are some practical qualities worth considering.
Inching along in the 101 traffic, you'll feel superior as your hands-free relic nestles comfortably in your shoulder—while the frazzled agent trainee in the next lane accidentally drops his skinny iPhone into his triple soy latte. At your next power-lunch round table, when everyone else thinks their ("new") phone is the one doing the ringing, you'll be the one who breezily puts out a fire back at the office with unexpected flair.
Colors range from subtle white to the-president's-calling red to bold yellow—which might bring out the subtle stripes in your tie as you strut coolly toward the elevators, YUBZ receiver at your hip.
This Is a Gift Guide. Use It for Good.


A 2017 goal of mine is to focus on details and become more intentional. This takes form in a number of ways; in my work, in my personal life, in my everyday. As I was imagining how this goal would play out, coffee came to mind. It might have had something to do with the fact that I was drinking copious amounts of coffee at the time, but inspiration comes when it wants!
Funnily enough, I don't actually drink that much coffee.
Coffee isn't something I need to start my day or wake up in the morning, but I still thoroughly enjoy it.
When I thought about why I enjoy coffee, I realized it had less to do with simply drinking it and much more to do with the experience that goes along with it.
If I'm going to make myself a cup of coffee, I do it properly. I take my time with it. I make it just to my liking. I set my cup down on a big table with a book, my laptop and a journal. I immediately feel the impetus to be productive, to write, to get things done.
I work from home the majority of the time, so I find creating a ritual around coffee and work to be so beneficial.
As much as I love going out to coffee shops and ordering a decadent latte every now and again, it's becoming so rare for me to find a spot that affords me enough space to spread out all my things and feel truly productive.
No matter the time of day, coffee shops seem to be packed to the gills. Going to coffee shops to work [which I'll likely write about in a separate post] is more about being around people [again that whole working from home bit makes seeing people tricky sometimes!] and having a change of pace and location.
As much as I relish the feeling of being a part of a buzzing hive of independent workers, creating this ritual at home seems to reap my best productivity.
I'd had coffee and the process of it on my mind for some time, and it was so timely when my photographer friend [Jedd from Dark Stripe Media] asked if I'd work with him on a photo shoot all about coffee.
Shooting the everyday cup wasn't the point of this exercise. We wanted to capture the beauty of coffee, to romanticize it.
From the beans themselves, to the movements that go into creating that perfect cup, coffee making when further examined is far from pedestrian.
Jedd ran to a nearby bakery, Alon's, grabbed a few pastries and we added those to the vignette. A perfect cup of coffee is only as good as what it's served with.
He did a fantastic job showcasing the detail and intricacy of every component of the coffee making process.
Coffee beans, both whole and ground, have such a rich color and texture.
When I page through these photos, I first take note of all the textures and details; the sloshing of the coffee into the cup; the the crisp exterior of the pastries.
All at once, I'm experiencing the ritual of coffee; the smell of it, the taste, the feeling behind it.
It's incredible how taking something that may seem mundane and routine, and looking at it through a more romanticized lens can make me remember why I loved it in the first place.


Real Madrid overcame the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and other regular starters Wednesday, coming from behind to defeat Leganes 3-1 Wednesday in a Spanish league match postponed from last year.
The result allowed the defending champions to regain third place from Valencia, but it did little to put Zinedine Zidane's team back in the title race as it still trails leader Barcelona by 14 points after 24 matches. Madrid is seven points behind second-place Atletico Madrid.
Less than a month ago, Leganes jolted Madrid into a crisis by eliminating the Spanish powerhouse from the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.
The hosts from southern Madrid went ahead less than 10 minutes into the match on Wednesday, but Madrid answered with first-half goals by Lucas Vazquez and Casemiro. Sergio Ramos sealed the victory by converting a 90th-minute penalty kick.
The league match was rescheduled from the 16th round because of Madrid's participation in the Club World Cup in December, a competition it won.
Only in its second season in the first division, Leganes had a promising start to the campaign but has struggled recently. It hasn't won in six matches and has lost four straight, dropping to 13th with 29 points.
Madrid has won four in a row, including 3-1 against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League last week.
Ronaldo, who scored twice against PSG and has 10 goals in his last six matches, was rested on Wednesday along with goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Marcelo, Tony Kroos and Luka Modric are trying to recover from injuries in time for next month's return match against PSG in Paris.
Leganes opened the scoring with a goal by Unai Bustinza six minutes into the match at Butarque Stadium. The defender dived in front of the ball as Madrid left back Theo Hernandez tried to clear it from near the goal line. The ball ricocheted off Bustinza's head and shoulder and went into the net.
Madrid equalized five minutes later with Vazquez's low shot into the far corner from inside the area after a through ball by Casemiro, and 20 minutes later it was the Brazilian defensive midfielder who found the net from close range after a pass by Vazquez.
Ramos scored from the penalty spot after Mateo Kovacic was pushed inside the area in the closing minutes.

Legacy Art Gallery, Victoria
July 9 to November 30, 2008
This exhibition combines two threads of inspiration. One focuses on Mary Kerr's designs for costumes, props and stage design for Copper Thunderbird, a play about the life and paintings of Ojibwa artist Norval Morrisseau, written by Métis playwright Marie Clements and directed by Peter Hinton for the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Surrounding Kerr's work on the walls of Victoria's Legacy Gallery are about a dozen paintings from three decades of Morrisseau's work, selected from the permanent collection of the University of Victoria's Maltwood Gallery. Kerr, one of Canada's most distinguished theatre designers and a professor at the University of Victoria, has created illustrations in graphite, pen and ink, watercolour and gouache for costumes based directly on particular paintings of magical characters in the cosmology that Morrisseau created. The ten actors in Copper Thunderbird become the mythical characters that activated Morrisseau's work and spiritual centre. Next to the illustrations, about a dozen large photographs of the play's set and lighting design are based on a concept Kerr describes as "kinetic sculpture on stage," with references to Bauhaus composition, Alexander Calder's mobiles and the theatrical magic of Peter Russell. Her designs for Copper Thunderbird are experiments with architectural concepts, unusual materials and colours, and the mythic presentations of the human condition that Morrisseau made real.

December 29, 1923: "Plans of far-reaching importance looking to the prevention of forest fires and the loss of trees through theft were made at the first annual meeting of the newly formed Talcott Mountain Protective association in the office of State Forester Austin F. Hawes, this afternoon.
The association was organized last fall under the auspices of the State Forestry department. It includes in its membership about fifty men and women who control and own 11,013 acres of woodland in West Hartford, Simsbury, Avon, Farmingham and Bloomfield.
The tower of the Travelers Insurance company will be used as a lookout station for forest fires during the dry months which begin in the middle of March and continue until Thanksgiving Day.

GTM #258 - Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'N Write
by Pandasaurus Games
Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'n Write, or Life, Uh, Finds a Way
By David McGregor, co-designer of Dinosaur World and Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'n Write
After a night of playing Fleet: The Dice Game, I got inspired to design a roll and write. I was never enamored with roll and writes until I got to experience the engine building of Fleet. Not only did I get to mark off Xs that enabled me to mark more Xs, but every other phase those Xs actually did something! My partner Marissa and I began brainstorming some elements that we wanted. Knowing Brian Lewis, co-designer of Dinosaur Island, and having personally seen Jurassic Park 13 times in the movie theatre, a Dinosaur Island theme seemed like the natural fit. I pitched some basic ideas to Brian, jokingly called it a "Rawr 'N Write," and Brian was in. Thus began a journey that none of us had foreseen.
With inspiration found, we started firing off ideas. We wanted an "activation phase" and we wanted combos like Ganz Schön Clever. Buildings became polyominoes, dino paddocks became rectangles, and they all did something. Early on, we had an idea of a logistic puzzle where you would build roads and "travel" along those roads scoring in some way. In my dreams, dinos made their way to exits and escaped on Jet Skis, but this proved to be difficult to track. We were building roads and buildings, and crossing them off as they became "visited." By the end you didn't have a cute little park blueprint, but instead a grid of scribbles and Xs. The goal was always to walk away with one of those "I made this!" feelings that we got from the Rosenberg classics.
As the game was now set in the Dinosaur Island universe we wanted to use the DNA dice as the primary component. Very quickly we came up with a core worker placement mechanic for our general actions: building attractions and special buildings, creating dinos, and building roads to connect attractions. The dice would be drafted, provide their base DNA, and then be placed on a board to take an additional action. In our first few plays, the board felt a bit too tight so we added a dice stacking mechanic reminiscent of Marco Polo. You could now use an occupied space as long as the threat pip value was higher than a previously placed die. This added a nice competitive wrinkle to the initial draft, as you may want the threat pips to ensure your second action was possible. For example, you may need a specific type of DNA to build dinosaurs, so one of your dice might have a high threat value to ensure that you could take a "Create Dinos" action later in the round.
After some tinkering, we had a core turn structure. You drafted dice, placed them to take DNA and actions, and then built attractions in your park. When adding buildings to your park, they immediately activated and gave you money to activate other buildings, specialists, etc. It was a fun system, but was difficult to teach and required a lot of resource tracking. We found it easy, but we were the ones who created it.
Brian threw together a prototype board, and we took it to Origins 2019 to pitch to the Pandasaurus team. The pitch went well and the reception from the various playtesters was inspiring. We refined the game using several bits of feedback and brought a newer version to Gen Con 2019. This was the first experience where we had playtesters find us and return looking for another go at the game. As a new designer, this was such a cool moment for me, and I know Marissa and Brian felt the same way.
Gen Con 2019 was where the game really took on new life. We wanted ways of making the economy more diverse, but we didn't want to change the core mechanics or add more complexity. Our countless playtesters over the weekend came up with brilliant ways to add player agency, a diverse economy, and solved some final scoring wrinkles that we had yet to iron out. The buildings went from being pre-printed on the board to a deck of cards that could be drafted to add some variability to the game. The convoluted route scoring was simplified, and we left the con with a game we were proud of and that felt close to being done.
Pandasaurus hired Andy Van Zandt to handle the remaining development. Andy was able to fine-tune balance and make excellent suggestions about turn structure and streamlining. All of the buildings or elements of the flow of play that we knew needed polish were suddenly getting the attention they needed.
Kwanchai Moriya is once again on board, with Stevo Torres handling graphic design and Andrew Thompson contributing additional illustrations. It seemed like that within days we were getting art proofs and concepts. These elements left the design team speechless.
Toward the end of the design process, we asked ourselves if this was different enough. We always went back to my "baby talk" design philosophy, and asked the question, "Well, does that feel good?" After each change, both major and minor, we felt the answer was a resounding "Yes!" From the get go, we let the design lead us. No idea was too wacky; even when we had whittled Dinosaur Island to just the dice, it felt like the right step. Every decision was in the interest of fun, and we felt, as John Hammond would say, that that was, "An aim not devoid of merit." We hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we did putting it together.

Aarrgh! Preschool Pirate Week is Fun!
God made us wonderful! We experienced many new things using our eyes, ears, nose and hands during Pirate Week! We made pirate faces and hats with bright colors and fun craft materials. We played pirate games, like Pirates Playing, and walked the plank! We sang pirate songs and searched for burried treasure in our sand table. We used our hands to feel new textures, like cloud dough, moon sand, water marbles, and gooey gak. Preschool really is a treasure! Yo, ho, ho, Mateys!
The landlubbers in our 4 year old classes had a fantastic week! We had many fun pirate activities, like making pirate hats, playing pirate games and walking the plank. There was even a mutany, where the children made Miss Anita and Miss Jessica walk the plank!
This week, we learned that God made helpers. Helpers are people who show they love and care for others by helping. We can be helpers too! Next week, we will continue learning about helpers and wrap up this unit with a special dress up day. Students may come to school dressed as a community helper on Friday, Sept. 27.
We also completed our letter B activities and introducted the letter C and the number 2. We found the letter c in our names a few times and learned the C Song and sign. Kiss your brains, Mateys!
Also, I'd like to welcome and thank our Delone student helpers. We will have Delone High School Students rotaing to help in our afternoon class. We are excited to make new helping friends!


Lyfjabergt, is for the moment the engine of my development, both personal, psychological, physical and the base with which I develop my creativity, expression and search my path.
I feel that life is a daily, step by step, learning and unlearning actively and sometimes passively.
If I want to support myself on anything, it is to walk a life "in" and "with" Love, Conscience and Liberty.
Recently I stared my way, since I live with the idea that there is only the here and now.
I don´t accumulate years of experience, I accumulate years of learning in the Here and Now.
I´m still learning but Lyfjabergt also offers me the opportunity to share experience and wisdom.
My heart is linked to healing to all and at all levels.
Years of work developed in hospitals, aid associations and laboratories.
The idea of associating the Spiritual Path to the Healing Path in a place like Lyfjabergt starts from the base idea that "It is favorable to have a healthy foundation for a complete development". And in this we are, I am.
Currently, I am a student and practitioner of the Mahamudra Way, which I am infinitely grateful to, since it is the basis, the pillar on where Lyfjabergt wants to stand.
Restore and create such a vast place like this, 20 hectares, between only Lennart and I, it´s a great adventure.
I never thought my life studies would include learning masonry, carpentry, painting and etc. but I find that in this, I rescue the Essence of Mahamudra.

We arrived back from France yesterday, and today I have been on a flower arranging workshop in the village. So good to have a venue close to home - The Lodge Flower and Craft School. They are doing a Thursday Flower Club, which I decided to try out.
We were a small group just 5 ladies, today's project was to arrange in a Bento box. It was a fun project, I've never done any flower arranging classes so wasn't sure what to expect, but this appealed to me. We all did something different with our boxes and flowers provided. The workshop runs from 10-12 with a coffee break - cake from Tom's too.
So here are some photos of my efforts, I'm pretty pleased with it even if I say so myself. What do you think?
I'll definitely be going again.
I really like that! It's very unique.
What a great class to go to.That must of been a lot of fun. Your arrangement is so pretty. Love the colors. It will be fun to go into your own garden and use your own flowers to make arrangements. Good for you !!
So pretty. I hope you do many more.

However when we shipped the hormone by aerosol, it had been not improved in the bloodstream; yet it improved the quality of fibrosis, therefore the pets treated had considerably less fibrosis than settings even though these were treated through the established stage of fibrosis. The findings revealed an urgent insight into fibrosis also. It has been recommended that in fibrosis, mitochondria-small organelles that control cell metabolism-do not really function well. The Yale-led group found that thyroid hormone-normalized mitochondria function in epithelial cells that range the environment sacs in the lungs. They think that this normalization of rate of metabolism protects the epithelial cells from harm and allows quality of fibrosis.By screening these chemical substances on actual individual cells in the laboratory, we're able to produce these assessments better to perform and more cost-effective potentially, Sareen stated.

Get your instrument out!
To celebrate Coventry's City of Culture, local musician, Seb Farrall, is calling on all musicians to get involved in an exciting musical project.
As part of Coventry Central Hall's City of Culture "Artists in Residence Programme" (AiR), Seb is starting a brand new orchestra. The AiR programme is funded by Coventry and Nuneaton Methodist circuit and supported by Methodist Church at Coventry Central Hall. Membership is open to all and rehearsals begin in September, working towards a large-scale celebration concert in April 2022 at Central Hall.
Seb encourages everyone to get their instrument out whether well-versed or slightly rusty:
"Making music in a large ensemble has been a very important part of my life, for as long as I can remember. Something magical happens when people get together to make music, and I'm very excited to be leading a project to celebrate our city of culture in this way."
While the orchestra won't be for complete beginners, those who have perhaps let their instrument collect dust for many years are encouraged to sign up and come along, as well as those who are more up-to-date with their skills. We also welcome players of instruments which don't normally feature in an orchestra.
Seb added:
"I know so many people who played an instrument when they were younger and have just stopped playing for a variety of reasons. My hope is that these people will be encouraged to once again get their instruments out and enjoy this great opportunity to celebrate the City of Culture through music."
The repertoire of the concert will be celebrating Coventry, and will be inspired by reaching out to the people of Coventry themselves. The concert repertoire will be wide-reaching, encompassing both the traditional Orchestral works linked to Coventry, but also some songs from the Pop/Rock genre:
"I'm also very keen to include both performers and music of diversity that an orchestra wouldn't normally include. Coventry is a city which represents many cultures and this concert will reflect that."
To have your say, head to our get involved page.
The celebration concert will feature a 'Festival Chorus', amalgamating local choirs and singers, as well as featuring already existing ensembles performing in their own right who perhaps normally wouldn't get the opportunity to perform on the big stage.
"In my time of making music as a conductor, I have come to realise that the most important thing has always been people. The music gets better when the performers are socially and emotionally in sync and I know that this orchestra will be a fun, enjoyable, and special experience for anyone who joins."
"I can't think of anything better to bring people together in order to celebrate our shared culture, especially after a year that has left no room for this sort of music making."
To encourage up-and-coming composers, we are also hosting a composition competition, with the winning work being premiered at the concert. There are two categories: Open and Youth, with prizes of £1500 and £500.
"Having entered, and won a runner up prize myself in a similar competition as an A level student, I know how encouraging this can be and is what ultimately started my journey in studying music composition at Coventry University."
To learn more about the composers competition, see our news article here.
"If you have some great ideas of songs or pieces of music which represent Coventry (however tangential!), or would like to be involved with the orchestra itself, head to coventryorchestra.co.uk to find out more. Remember, whether your instrument would feature in an orchestra normally or not, we need you, and you are welcome here!"
The project will be led by local conductor Seb Farrall, who came to Coventry in 2011 to study Music Composition at Coventry University, and since graduation in 2014 with a First Class Degree has continued to live and work in the area. Seb was tutored in conducting by Christopher Evans as student conductor of the University Orchestral Ensemble, and has continued to take those skills daily into his professional life.

Gary Mortimer Solomon (born 15 September 1973) is a Guyanese-born Sint Maartener cricketer.

A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler, Solomon was selected in Sint Maarten's squad for the 2006 Stanford 20/20, playing in their preliminary round loss to the United States Virgin Islands (USVI). Opening the batting alongside Royston Trocard, Solomon was dismissed without scoring by Dane Weston. In the USVI innings he bowled a single over, taking the wicket of Mark Vitalis and conceding six runs. This marks Solomon's only appearance in Twenty20 cricket.

House plants are nature at home.
1) Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. During photosynthesis, the plant absorbs carbon dioxide (we breath out carbon dioxide) and release oxygen (we breath in oxygen). Plants help to increase oxygen levels, which is good for the body.
2) Plant roots tap the water available to it, which then evaporates through its leaves in a process known as transpiration. Studies show that this can account for about 10 percent of the moisture in the atmosphere, thus giving your home some humidity.
3) Both plant leaves and roots are utilized in removing trace levels of toxic vapors from inside tightly sealed buildings. Low levels of chemicals such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde can be removed from indoor environments by plant leaves alone.
4) A number of studies with both students and workers reveals that studying or working in the presence of plants can have a positive effect. As with simply being in nature, being around plants improves concentration, memory and productivity. It can also be shown to increase memory retention up to 20 percent, according to a University of Michigan study.

The niche clientele (late-nighters fond of energetic and purposeless chats, shall we say) so devoted to former-establishment Paola's have moved on, of course, and The Lamp bears about as much resemblance to its former incarnation as The Aladdin does to its dirty movie past.
The space was purchased amd re-named by The Aladdin after the adult-contemporary-themed venue realized, about a decade late, that fans of John Mayer seeking a post-show cocktail would rather drive back to Beaverton then chance the neighboring lounge.
Not much reason to go there otherwise, of course. The food's passable but overpriced, smoking's been banished to the video poker nook and, about once a week, regulars newly re-entering society stagger inside and look around helplessly, sad and dazed and just a little disgusted.

10 games above .500. Minor's return. Gattis' offense. Why is Uggla still starting? And checking in on the bullpen.
Last week I wrote about three players–Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla–and which of those players we should and should not worry about, and to what degree. One player I left out of the mix was Chris Johnson.
The Braves keep winning. The starters keep dominating. BJ and Uggla stay in the lineup. Kimbrel returns.

California made surfing its state sport. And United Airlines has officially gotten on board, eliminating the $150-200 excessive baggage fees applied when checking in surfboards. According to the airline, people can now travel with a SUP, surfboard or wakeboard by simply paying the normal $25-30 checked bag fee, a huge win for those into surf travel. Can we get a Hallelujah?!

During a break in the summer storms at around 23:00 BST on the 29th June 2007 Chris Newsome captured this view of Jupiter and its four Galilean moons. The atmosphere was very unsteady but the transparency was good. Left to right (clockwise) the moons are Callisto, Europa, Io and Ganymede. Chris used a Meade LPI and 2x Barlow through a Celestron C8-NGT. It is comprised of a total of 300 frames stacked in K3CCDTools and processed in CS2. This image made Picture of the Week on the British Astronomical Association website in July 2007.


We're exposed to over 80,000 chemicals per day. Our liver, kidneys and intestines are responsible for detoxification of our body, and they weren't designed to deal with such a heavy load of toxins, so they get overburdened. This means you may feel sluggish, sickly, moody have weight gain or have reduced libido.
Hands On Healing Chiropractic offers three different purification programs to meet your needs. These offer your body additional support to expel and metabolize these toxins and minimize your weight, flushing out toxins from head to toe.
If you'd like to experience higher levels of energy, greater mental clarity and improved digestion, (and sometimes weight loss) these cleanses are a must!
Each cleanse involves taking supplements, drinking delicious (really) shakes that contain protein and veggies and making slight alterations to the foods you eat. Sugar, dairy and grains are eliminated to reduce inflammation and toxins, helping you see and feel incredible results.
This purification program/cleanse helps your body purify and rebuild itself from the inside out. It reduces the toxic load on the entire body. The effects you may experience include a reduction in blood triglycerides and blood pressure, in addition to feeling great!
Are you experiencing afternoon energy crashes or headaches, irritability or moodiness, low energy levels or cravings for sugar, you may need this cleanse. If you want to prevent diabetes and regain control over your crazy sugar habit, this cleanse can help. It focuses on your metabolism of sugar, (in addition to your overall body purification) allowing its harmful effects to dissipate and mitigate the damage it's already done to your body.
If you're experiencing swelling, pain, stiff joints, bloating or dry skin, they can all be symptoms of inflammation present in your body. This cleanse is designed to reduce the amount of pain and normalize the amount of inflammation you have, allowing the symptoms to decrease or disappear. By eliminating toxins from the body, your body will naturally feel better.
Contact us today to find out if one of our cleanses in Campbell is right for you! We offer convenient Saturday appointments.

Attorney Group / Blog / Football Players File Head Injury Lawsuit Against Helmet Maker and NCAA
Football Players File Head Injury Lawsuit Against Helmet Maker and NCAA
Personal Injury, Brain Injury • October 16, 2013
The NCAA and Riddell Inc., manufacturer of football equipment, are currently facing lawsuits from two former college football players. The head injury lawsuit, filed on behalf of all former NCAA players who had suffered concussions and long-term injuries, allege that the players developed dementia, chronic dizziness, chronic diseases, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and other mental and physical conditions as a result of sustained concussions while playing.
The head injury lawsuit describes trials that concluded that players should be allotted between five and seven days of "down time" after a mild, traumatic concussion or brain injury. However, the NCAA allegedly ignored that standard and enforced a "one-day return to play" protocol in which players would be placed directly back into the game.
Players and their attorneys are also alleging that the NCAA did not properly address coaching techniques that may have lessened the risk of injuries caused by concussions. The head injury lawsuit claims that the NCAA failed to warn players and coaches of the risks, was fraudulent in its attempt to conceal evidence and was negligent in demanding injured players return to the game.
Law firms in Mississippi, Louisiana and Washington have joined the class action lawsuit as plaintiffs and their attorneys are seeking an unspecified amount of compensation to help cover the monitoring and diagnosis of future brain-related conditions or impairments as well as the ongoing medical care that plaintiffs allegedly need on a day-to-day basis.
A similar lawsuit was filed against the NFL by players alleging the same claims. The case was settled for $750 million. Similarly, this was not the first lawsuit filed against the NCAA over concussions allegedly sustained by former athletes. A class action lawsuit filed in Tennessee earlier in 2013 alleged that the NCAA did not meet its obligation to protect its players from the risks of concussions. A similar case was filed in 2011 in Illinois, and attorneys handling the cases have petitioned a judge to reconsider it as a class action lawsuit.
Importance of Filing a Head Injury Lawsuit
Traumatic head injuries include open head injuries such as fractures, closed head injuries including contusions or concussions and axonal shearing, caused by sports injuries or transportation accidents. Brain injuries are typically diagnosed when there is a clear event that likely caused the harm. Similarly, it is a CT scan or MRI can identify abnormalities such as intracranial hematomas or other trauma to the brain. The degree of injury is often hard to diagnose, mainly because of the potential difficulty of assessing the patient's symptoms.
When head injuries are caused do to the fault of another, a plaintiff may file a head injury lawsuit with the help of experienced attorneys to seek compensation for the injury. In some instances, a victim may be paralyzed, suffer from strokes or other debilitating conditions. Injured individuals and their families may be faced with a long road to recovery, both emotionally and physically. A head injury lawsuit in which compensation is recovered can help to get your life back on track.
Injured Parties May Be Entitled to Compensation
If you or someone you love have been hurt or experienced a traumatic head injury, you may be eligible to file a head injury lawsuit with the help of attorneys and seek compensation for damages. At Attorney Group, we can work to connect you and your family with experienced affiliated brain injury lawyers that understand the legalities and circumstances surrounding traumatic head injuries. You may be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses and bills, lost income and pain and suffering. So contact Attorney Group today for your free consultation.

Stuart Canmore
From GargWiki
Renaissance Hunter
Stuart Canmore (currently referred to as the Renaissance Hunter) was a Hunter from the Canmore family. [1] He pursued Demona during the late 15th century. He attacked her in Florence in 1495, on the same night that she stole the Medici Tablet, mounted on a hang-glider that looked like something out of one of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, but failed to slay her. ("Hunter's Moon Part Two")
"Hunter's Moon Part Two" (First Appearance)
Real World Background
Stuart Canmore's first name is most likely a reference to the Stuart family, who became the kings of Scotland in 1371 with Robert II (1371-90). In 1603, James VI of Scotland (1567-1625) became King of England as James I (1603-25), and thereafter, the Stuarts were both Kings of Scotland and England until 1714 (except for the hiatus between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic). James VI/I saw himself as descended both from Duncan and Canmore, and also the legendary Banquo and Fleance (which likely influenced Shakespeare's treatment of Macbeth's story).
In 1495, when Stuart Canmore encountered Demona in Florence, the Stuart King of Scotland was James IV (1488-1513).

So what have you done in the last 95 days? What have the 13 weeks and four days since January 1 brought you?
It's been a rough go for many, this year, and my experience was no exception. In love, money, and family, I have experienced more in 2016 than the last couple of years combined. A prominent part of the struggle is the adjustment period of The Man becoming a member of a ladder house continues to take a lot longer than either of us had anticipated. Being with a firefighter continues to be a daily hardship.
Attempting to find a job in the floundering field of journalism is harder than ever, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of inadequacy in an area of study that I have loved before I even reached middle school. If I had one suggestion to make to universities across this country, it would be to teach individuals how to deal with a struggling economy and being unemployed, instead of forcing a senior to take French 101 course to satisfy a previously dismissed prerequisite.
Then there are the deaths of 2016. While the world lost the likes of Alan Rickman, David Bowie, and Garry Shandling, I lost my grandfather. Processing the death of someone with whom I shared a complicated relationship has become one of the harder obstacles of the year.
Many of the people around me and in my web-based circles have grappled with the first 95 days of 2016 in their own ways: I've spoken with women who also struggle with being a firefighter wife/girlfriend, those who are single and can't find a decent man with whom to settle down, those who are dealing with health issues, weight issues, or family deaths. The most important part of undergoing these struggles is to see how events, obstacles, and setbacks teach you lessons about yourself.
Here, I am about to turn 30, and I can honestly say that I know little about myself more than just that I can't crawl into bed and let the rough year get the better of me. While I have undergone outrageous amounts of pain, anxiety, and heartache, I believe that I can turn it around. My spirit is strong, and my path a light one with pure intentions. These obstacles and hard times have only set up for a greater days.
I hope that some had a better first quarter of the year than I; and here is to hoping that we all can turn it around and makes the remaining 75% of 2016 the greatest ending to a year!

Vox: Most Bernie Sanders supporters aren't willing to pay for his revolution
This is an interesting article http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/4/14/11421744/bernie-sanders-tax-revolution
Bernie Sanders says his platform makes financial sense for most Americans. For example, his campaign says Sanders's single-payer health care system would save an average family of four almost $6,000 per year.
But in order to pay for his proposed programs, Sanders needs to increase taxes on virtually everyone in America. So if you're a voter, the question is simple:
Are you willing to pay more taxes for his proposals, like nationalized health care and free public college tuition?
How much more?
When we polled voters, we found most Sanders supporters aren't willing to pay more than an additional $1,000 in taxes for his biggest proposals. That's well short of how much more the average taxpayer would pay under his tax plan.
We asked voters how much more they are willing to pay for nationalized health care and free public college
We conducted a poll the week of April 4 in partnership with the nonpartisan technology and media company Morning Consult. In it, we asked voters how much more they would be willing to pay for two of Sanders's big propositions: a universal health care system covering all Americans and free tuition at public colleges and universities.
Most Americans say they are willing to pay something extra for these programs:
Nationalized health care: Around 80 percent of Sanders supporters are willing to pay more in federal taxes for universal health care coverage, compared with about 70 percent of Clinton supporters and about 40 percent of those supporting a Republican candidate.
Free public college tuition: A slightly lower percentage of people were willing to pay more for free public college tuition: 80 percent of Sanders supporters, 60 percent of Clinton supporters, and about 40 percent of those supporting a Republican candidate.
But when we look at how much more voters are willing to pay, we get a better idea of how voters view Sanders's plan.
Two in three Sanders supporters don't want to pay more than $1,000, or at all, for universal health care
About 66 percent of Sanders supporters said they wouldn't be willing to pay more than an additional $1,000 in taxes for universal health care. This includes the 8 percent of Sanders supporters who aren't willing to pay anything at all.
Sanders platform is not being supported by Sandes own supporters.

Sanders Campaign Suspends Jewish Outreach Head for Colorful Anti-Netanyahu Facebook Rant
I just saw that this lady was hired and now she is gone http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/04/14/sanders_campaign_suspends_jewish_outreach_coordinator_for_facebook_rant.html
On Tuesday, Bernie Sanders announced the hiring of Simone Zimmerman, an outspoken critic of Israeli policy and its prime minister, as his campaign's national Jewish outreach coordinator. The appointment was met with near instantaneous condemnation by the American Jewish establishment. By Thursday, the Sanders campaign announced it was suspending Zimmerman to investigate an exceptionally critical Facebook post from March 2015 attributed to her that characterized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as sanctioning mass murder. "F___k you, Bibi..." the post read.
Here's more from the New York Times on the ideological divide that Zimmerman represents:
Ms. Zimmerman, who declined to comment, has been active in left-wing Jewish politics for years and came up in organizations such as J Street, but has also worked closely with Jewish synagogues in Los Angeles, and with young Jews on myriad trips to Israel. While the American Jewish establishment considers her and her allies radical, she and young Jewish activists argue that their disgust with the Netanyahu government's policies is inching toward the mainstream.

Hillary Clinton, Democratic Party To Sue Arizona For 5-Hour Voting Lines
The Clinton campaign is suing to protect voting rights in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Add Arizona to that list http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/04/14/3769482/arizona-lawsuit-voting/
This Friday, a group of Maricopa County voters will sue the state of Arizona over the disastrous primary election in March that left them waiting up to five hours in the desert heat to cast a ballot. They will be supported in the case by Hillary Clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the Arizona Democratic Party, the president of the Navajo Nation, and the campaign of Ann Kirkpatrick, who is challenging Sen. John McCain for his seat in Congress.
"Arizonans were denied their constitutional right to vote because those who run the system weren't prepared, and it can never happen again," Kirkpatrick said in an e-mailed statement. "Today's action is about representing every Arizona voter who stood in line for far too long or was forced to go home without casting a ballot."
The case demands the U.S. District Court of Phoenix review why the county cut the number of available polling places from 200 to 60, leaving only one voting center for every 21,000 voters, and ensure there are adequate polls open for this November's general election, which will have even higher voter turnout. Even in the lower-turnout March primary, some polling places ran out of ballots.....
The new lawsuit from the Democratic Party aims to remedy the problem before November, when the key swing state could help determine the fate of both the White House and the Senate. Democrats are also suing in four other swing states — Wisconsin, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina — over allegations of voter suppression against students, people of color, and the poor.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz argued Thursday that policies in these states are a deliberate attempt by Republican officials to maintain their power. "They want nothing less than to disenfranchise voting groups who are inconvenient to them on Election Day," she said. "That's exactly what Arizona's officials did when they closed polling locations and rejected thousands of provisional ballots, and it's exactly what they'll continue to do if left unchecked."
SEC Charges Ken Paxton With Securities Fraud
Source: Texas Tribune
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been charged in federal court with allegedly misleading investors in a technology company.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed the charges Monday in a Sherman-based court. They are similar to the allegations Paxton faces in a pending indictment handed up by a Collin County grand jury last year.
Paxton is named in the SEC's complaint along with William Mapp, the founder and former CEO of Servergy Inc. Paxton is accused of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for Servergy without disclosing he was making a commission.
"People recruiting investors have a legal obligation to disclose any compensation they are receiving to promote a stock, and we allege that Paxton and White concealed the compensation they were receiving for touting Servergy's product," Shamoil T. Shipchandler, director of the SEC's Fort Worth regional office, said in a news release on the complaint.

Perry & Friends Caught Red Handed. Election Law Broken, Investigation Called For.
This will be fun to watch http://www.txdemocrats.org/press/breaking-perry-friends-caught-red-handed-election-law-broken-investigation-called-for
Austin, TX -- Last week, the Texas Tribune reported that "Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have stumped for Ted Cruz for president, but there's no record he voted in this year's Republican primary in Texas. A spokesman for Perry suggested his ballot may have been lost in the mail." [Texas Tribune, March 29, 2016]
The Tribune goes on to state,"Fayette County Elections Administrator Dina Bell confirmed by email on Tuesday that Perry requested a mail-in ballot for the March 1 Republican primary and one was given to him on Feb. 1.Bell recalled that Perry showed up in person to get it…"
Here's where it gets interesting: picking up a mail-in ballot in person is against the law. Isn't this the kind of potential voter fraud Gov. Perry and Republicans rail against? After all, you wouldn't want empty ballots just floating around.
Texas Election Code States: "(a)The balloting materials for voting by mail shall be provided to the voter by mail. A ballot provided by any other method may not be counted….(b) Subject to Subsection (c), the balloting materials shall be addressed to the applicable address specified in the voter's application. The election officer providing the ballot may not knowingly mail the materials to an address other than that prescribed by this section." [TEC § 86.003]
Texas Democratic Party Vote-by-Mail Program Director & former State Representative Glen Maxey issued the following statement calling for an investigation from the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Fayette County and District Attorney:
"Anything less than a full and thorough investigation on this issue is confirmation that corruption has completely infected Texas government under one-party Republican rule.

Clinton, Sanders differ on down-ballot Democrats
There is a major difference between Clinton and Sanders with respect to down ballot candidates http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/clinton-sanders-differ-down-ballot-democrats
Yesterday afternoon, meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced its fundraising tally over the same period, and though Sanders hasn't matched his rival in votes or wins, we were reminded once more that he's easily defeating her when it comes to dollars in the bank. But the Clinton campaign's press release added something Sanders' did not:
Hillary Clinton raised about $29.5 million for her primary campaign during March. That amount brings the first quarter total to nearly $75 million raised for the primary, beating the campaign's goal of $50 million by about 50 percent. [Hillary For America] begins April with nearly $29 million on hand.
Clinton raised an additional $6.1 million for the DNC and state parties during the month of March, bringing the total for the quarter to about $15 million [emphasis added].
The first part matters, of course, to the extent that Sanders' fundraising juggernaut is eclipsing Clinton's operation, but it's the second part that stands out. How much money did Sanders raise for the DNC and state parties in March? Actually, zero. For the quarter, the total was also zero.
And while the typical voter probably doesn't know or care about candidates' work on behalf of down-ballot allies, this speaks to a key difference between Sanders and Clinton: the former is positioning himself as the leader of a revolution; the latter is positioning herself as the leader of the Democratic Party. For Sanders, it means raising amazing amounts of money to advance his ambitions; for Clinton, it means also raising money to help other Democratic candidates.
As Rachel noted on the show last night, the former Secretary of State has begun emphasizing this angle while speaking to voters on the campaign trail. Here, for example, is Clinton addressing a Wisconsin audience over the weekend:
"I'm also a Democrat and have been a proud Democrat all my adult life. I think that's kind of important if we're selecting somebody to be the Democratic nominee of the Democratic Party.
"But what it also means is that I know how important to elect state legislatures, to elect Democratic governors, to elect a Democratic Senate and House of Representatives."
The message wasn't subtle: Clinton is a Democrat and Sanders isn't; Clinton is working to help Democrats up and down the ballot and Sanders isn't.
Super Delegates will be taking this difference into account in deciding which candidate is best for the party

Clinton Lawyer Marc Elias Among Those Behind Major New Voting Rights Lawsuit in Wisconsin

Hillary Clinton is funding congressional races so she can enter White House with a majority
Hillary Clinton is helping the Democratic Party elect new Democratic members of Congress http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/hillary-clinton-is-funding-congressional-races-so-she-can-enter-white-house-with-a-majority/24188/
One of the most intriguing storylines of the 2016 election has turned out to be one of the most underreported. Every candidate for President hopes to not only enter the White House, but do so with a congressional majority in hand. Although Hillary Clinton is the clear frontrunner and is likely to win the election, republican gerrymandering means that her odds of having a democratic House and Senate are questionable. But she's spent the past six months trying to rectify that by essentially funding the congressional races of 2016 democratic candidates herself.
They're called Victory Funds, and the short of it is that while Hillary has been out on the campaign trail raising funds for her own Presidential campaign, she's been making it easy for her donors to simultaneously donate to the various state level democratic parties. The money will be divvied up among the democrats running for election and reelection in the Senate and House.
After the democrats took some lumps in the past few congressional races and lost both houses of congress to the republicans, Clinton has put together this co-fundraising strategy as a way of entering office with as many democratic allies on the hill as possible. Even as she pulls further ahead in the primary race and begins to pivot to the general election, she's been breathing life into her party's congressional chances along the way.

The truth about primary voter turnout
The GOP types are hoping that the lower turnout in the Democratic primaries mean that Trump will win. That is not true http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/presidential-campaign/272381-the-truth-about-primary-voter-turnout
There actually is no historic correlation between primary turnout and general election turnout. None. The highest turnout in a Democratic primary—before the outlier of 2008—was in 1988. Gov. Michael Dukakis got killed in November. Democratic primary turnout was actually lower in 1992—two million fewer Democrats voted in the primaries that year. The drop in turnout didn't stop Bill Clinton from winning the general election convincingly.
Turnout data also shows Americans don't vote in primaries because they're excited about November. They vote in primaries when the outcome of the party nomination is in doubt. The outcome of this primary hasn't been in doubt for most Democratic primary voters despite a hard-fought race. That's a statement that may strike people who read campaign news every day as odd, especially given the fundraising success of the Sanders campaign. Democrats have seen Hillary Clinton as our party's likely 2016 nominee for years and her strength is beginning to catch up to this underlying reality. Turnout is lower because there has been less suspense about the outcome.
Higher Republican primary turnout is also no reason to think the GOP is growing their base. In zero states has the number of primary votes even come close to the number of Republican general election votes. Primary electorates and general electorates are just very different animals.
Look at the data from New Hampshire and Virginia. In New Hampshire, the state with the highest turnout percentage so far, there were 284,120 votes in the GOP primary, but Mitt Romney received 329,918 votes in 2012. In Virginia, just over a million votes were cast in their Super Tuesday primary, but Mitt Romney won more than 1.8 million votes in the state in 2012. Again: there is no data correlation.
Fear—far more than enthusiasm—is a huge motivating factor in many Republican voters' minds. In a Clarity Campaign Labs satisfaction index created out of publicly available exit polls, barely 50 percent of GOP voters said they would be satisfied with the three leading candidates getting the nomination - 53 percent Rubio, 51 percent Cruz, 48 percent Trump.
Democrats on the other hand would strongly back the nominee: 78 percent would be satisfied with Secretary Hillary Clinton and 63 percent would back Sen. Bernie Sanders no matter their first choice. Smart policy and a will to win the White House drives Democrats to the polls. Gains in Republican primary turnout come from a party running scared.
There is no link between primary turnout and general election turnout. As a practical matter, the Democratic nomination process has not been in doubt since Biden dropped out. Primary voter turnout numbers here are meaningless as to general election turnout numbers

This vlog presents the Rationalizer discussing quotes (from the mid 1980s) attributed to William Hay about the divine nature of the Qurʾān. Hay, an oceanographer, was asked questions about Qurʾānic interpretations (in the 1980s) regarding ocean currents, material which he indicates was well known among fisherman and seaman before Muḥammad's time. They do not indicate what verses Hay was asked to interpret.
The Rationalizer seeks to put early quotes frequently reused in Muslim materials on iʿjāz into context. He has vlogs with other speakers who are also often quoted on YouTube.
There is no mainstream Muslim group that holds that women have no souls. Although Hay seems to attribute it to the Taliban, for the vast majority of Muslims anywhere the statement would be absurd.
There is little science here beyond general statements Hay makes about ocean currents. That the facts were known in the 7th century already is also clear. However, it is unlikely that either proponents or opponents of iʿjāz would be able to prove what Muḥammad did or did not know. These are better addressed as questions of faith for believers.
The Rationalizer is the user name for an anonymous vlogger (videos on YouTube since 2010) who began learning about Islam after he started learning Arabic in the UK. Raised by agnostic and atheist parents, he also attended a school with required Christian assemblies, which provided a grounding in religious beliefs. For a time as an adult he investigated Islam with a view to converting, but the claims for miracles in the Qurʾān (iʿjāz) led him to learn more about science and ancient beliefs, which ultimately led him down the path of becoming an atheist.
He works in the information technology industry as a business analyst and programmer.
In addition to his YouTube account, the Rationalizer is active on social media such as Twitter and the forums at CouncilOfExMuslims.com.

I didn't read this book, so I have no way of knowing whether it is well-written, well-illustrated or worthy of attention. I also have no way of knowing how the four committees that honored this book - those for the Coretta Scott King (Author) Book Award, the Printz Award, the Sibert Informational Book Award, and the YALSA Award for excellence in young-adult nonfiction - arrived at their decision. But there is no denying how it looks. These decisions were finalized during ALA Midwinter, just after the author of March: Book Three, Rep. John Lewis, had a highly publicized clash with President Trump. If only one or two committees had honored this book, I might buy that it was based on its merits. But four? And in a time when many ALA members are advocating for librarians to resist the "fascist" Trump administration? I have a hard time believing these decisions were not politically motivated. I was actually getting worried as I watched that this book might also win the Newbery and/or the Caldecott, but thankfully, we were spared that much. Still, this was a major disappointment, not because I have any particular feelings about the book, but because I'm growing increasingly disgusted with the library profession and its politics.
I was hoping to see Ghost and Wolf Hollow recognized, and I got half of what I wanted. Wolf Hollow is absolutely deserving of its honor, and I was pleased that it was not overlooked. Ghost only won one award, the Odyssey, for its audiobook adaptation, but it was not recognized by the Newbery committee, which was too bad. The Girl Who Drank the Moon, which I did not read, was the winner. I can't say that it isn't good without reading it, but the description of the book is full of cliches and I don't think I'm going to bother. I've also been wading through The Inquisitor's Tale, one of the other honors, and it's a three-star book at best. I want to save my comments for my review, but the book relies heavily on toilet humor, and we all know how I feel about that.
I mentioned in my review of They All Saw A Cat that I expected it to be given at least an honor. As I said I would be, I'm disappointed that this prediction came true. Yes, the artwork is interesting and different, but I'm still not convinced it really adds up to a compelling story. Du Iz Tak? also received an honor, and that was even more disappointing. I have yet to read a review of this book that explains precisely why it is so good. Everyone talks about the brilliance of the made-up language, but no one gets much beyond that one gimmick. The book is weird; that doesn't automatically make it good. I really believe a lot of people claim to like it because they don't want to admit they don't get it. As for the winner, it was a picture book biography of someone I've never heard of. If I happen to see it, I'll read it, but it's not the kind of thing I will seek out on my own.
Elephant and Piggie still wormed their way in there, even though their series is over. It's really time to move on.
Good Night Owl is about an owl going to bed at night. That drives me nuts.
When I was 15, I happened upon Sarah Dessen's That Summer in the young adult section of my small-town public library and immediately fell in love. I wrote her a letter, to which she sent a wonderfully kind hand-written reply, and I have been a fan ever since. I met her once at BEA and saw her speak again at the DC Public Library, and I have read every one of her books. Since she has never won any ALA awards before, she wasn't really on my radar as someone who might be considered for something like the Margaret A. Edwards award. So I was surprised and thrilled to hear her name read out, and to see that the titles for which she was honored include Keeping the Moon, one of my all-time favorites. This was the highlight of the award announcements for me, and it has made me want to re-read some of her older titles before her newest comes out this summer.
Were you pleased with the award announcements? Which award recipients have you read?
I did like The Infamous Ratsos - that's the one I was happiest about this year :-). Like you, I do not get as excited about these awards as most people do.
I was surprised at the number of honors March received, but given that the committees work independently of one another, I do not doubt they all came to those decisions through honest consideration. I was thrilled to see THE INQUISITOR'S TALE receive an honor; it was an absolute favorite of mine this past year, and my sixth grader devoured it and bought it for friends at the holidays. I expected WOLF HOLLOW to win the Newbery, but was so pleased when TGWDTM took the prize. I've read it aloud to my daughters three times this year (they are 7, 9, and 11.) Each time, we discover something new to love about it. I'd suggest you overlook the cliched descriptions and give it a read.
I may read The Girl Who Drank the Moon at some point, but I looked at it in the bookstore today, read a couple of pages, and decided it doesn't need to be a priority right now. I was really looking forward to reading The Inquisitor's Tale but wound up being disappointed by its treatment of the Catholic church. I'm working on a detailed blog post that explains why I can't recommend it.
Hi! I am eagerly awaiting your review on The Inquisitor's Tale because, like Katey Howes, it was my favorite "Newbery-material" of last year, next to The Key to Extraordinary by Natalie Lloyd. I didn't find that The Inquisitor's Tale had much toilet humor in it, aside from the farting dragon. Since you are a practicing Catholic your view of the book will be unique and quite different from mine, I'm sure. So I look forward to your review.
The toilet humor ended up being secondary to the many religious issues I have with the book. I'm working on the review, so hopefully it will be published soon!
I always watch the broadcast with interest and excitement, but unfortunately, I find it difficult to keep up with the new books anymore. I am interested in your take on the politics of the awards because I didn't know enough (shame on me!) to even think about it.
Regarding Sarah Dessen, would you recommend her novels for my twelve year old daughter who is pretty innocent but also ready to move "up" in her reading?
I'm probably more hung up on the politics than the average reader owing to ongoing political discussions I have been hearing about in the library world. I haven't been reading new books since the end of last summer, so this may be the last year I've even read enough of them to comment!
Sarah Dessen's books are usually romances. Most are not sexual, but there is one about an abusive relationship (Dreamland.) That Summer, her first novel, is about a 15-year-old girl dealing with her dad's remarriage and the disappointment she feels over the boring guy her sister is about to marry. That would be the only one I would consider appropriate for a twelve year old. I was 15 when I started reading her and that seemed like the perfect age. Some of newer books have main characters who are graduating high school, so they skew even older.
