Crafting with Kids: A Birthday Crown : Ideas for Women Home and ...
All kids want something special on their birthdays. You can make the day special by allowing them to make a birthday crown just for them to wear. It is an easy craft and kids will love it.
What You Need:
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Transparent tape
- Marker
- Glue
- Glitter
- Stickers
How to Make:
- Choose two pieces of construction paper. Cut one of the pieces of paper into 2-inch wide strips. Line the strips end-to-end making one long band. Attach the pieces to one another using transparent tape.
- Wrap the band around the child?s head so it covers his or her forehead. Mark about 2 inches beyond where the ends of the band overlap at the back of the child?s head. Cut off any excess paper beyond the mark.
- Lay the band out flat on a table and decorate it.Trace six 2-inch squares on the second piece of paper. Add triangles to the top of each square to make shapes that resemble small?houses?and cut out the shapes. Tape the bottom of each shape to the inside edge of the headband so most of the squares stick out the top of the crown.
- Decorate the crown by writing the child?s name on the center of the band using glue. Sprinkle glitter over the glue to make the name shimmer and shake off the excess glitter. Add stickers to the crown or draw on smiley faces using markers. Let the glue dry completely.Tape the ends of the band together.
- Use two or three long pieces of tape to ensure that the crown stays together all day.

Environmental group says don't "blow" this opportunity when it comes to wind energy incentives
ROANOKE, Va.?
"Our message today to Congress, don't throw wind off the fiscal cliff," says Sarah Bucci, Environment Virginia.The clock is ticking and this group doesn't want to be caught under the buzzer.
Explains Bucci, "Incentives are benefits in place to build wind farms here in Virginia. So, it's important for this budding industry that we extend these credits at the national level as well as well as all of our own state policies."
Environment Virginia says as of December 31st incentives which would help build wind turbines, such as these, will run out.
Environmental and health experts say this clean form of energy is where our cash strapped, fuel dependent nation should go.
"I'm concerned about protecting Virginia open spaces, but we need to develop renewable resources -energy resources as an alternatives to fossil fuels," explains former Roanoke City Council member Dr. Rupert Cutler.
But, wind farms aren't always popular.
A proposal to bring about 15-turbines to Poor Mountain in Roanoke County met mixed reviews last year.
"It doesn't seem that anywhere along the way we've looked at the ecological aspects," said Wind Project Opponent Ed Kinser in September 2011.
Wind Project Opponent Bert Bondurant agreed during that same interview in 2011, "And i have a concern that the board of supervisors doesn't fully appreciate the treasure that is esstenially in their trust to preserve."
Many are concerned about adding an eye sore on the ridge.
But, others say the area is far from untouched.
Says Sierra Club Conservation Chair Dan Crawford, "Poor mountain is not pristine. If you go up there that's where we have our antennas and microwave towers."
Many wonder the status of the Poor Mountain project.
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors Chairman Richard Flora says even though Roanoke County amended its zoning and set conditions for wind use, it hasn't heard from the group since those changes have been made.
Invenergy, the group behind the Poor Mountain plan, says it continues to "work on development plans" and looks forward to working in Virginia.

Poison pens and lipstick guns: 8 real-life spy weapons
South Korean authorities capture an assassin armed with deadly gadgets almost as implausible as this collection of espionage gear
Newly crowned "Sexiest Man Alive" Kim Jong Un isn't the biggest fan of Park Sang-hak, an anti-Pyongyang defector now living in South Korea who's near the top of North Korea's hit list. The outspoken activist was recently the target of a would-be assassin equipped with three seemingly innocent, easy-to-conceal weapons plucked straight from a 007 script. A South Korea "investigation official," speaking with CNN, described the weapons thus: A poison-tipped device built to look like a Parker ballpoint pen; a second pen equipped to shoot poison-filled bullets directly into the skin; and a small flashlight rigged to fire three bullets at close range. "You'd notice a gun," said Park, "but these weapons are so innocuous [they could] easily kill someone [without warning]. I'd be dead immediately." Park is hardly the first to be the target of top-secret spy weaponry. Here, eight other imaginative killing devices that have actually been produced:?
1. Lipstick gun
Meet the "kiss of death." This famous Cold War-era pistol may look like an ordinary lipstick, but it was designed by KGB operatives to let a Soviet femme fatale fire a single 4.5mm bullet at anyone unlucky enough to get caught in her cross-hairs.?
2. Exploding rats
During World War II, Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) devised a clever plan to blow up enemy boilers by hiding explosive rat carcasses in German coal piles. Supposedly, an unsuspecting enemy would simply toss the dead rat into the nearby fire to dispose of the body and... kaboom! The plan went awry when German authorities seized the first consignment of the devices ? and went on to showcase them in the country's top military academies.
3. Flamethrower glove
Patrick Priebe, a cyberpunk weapons hobbyist, designed this hand-mounted flamethrower using just four lithium ion batteries, butane, a NE555 circuit board, and a transformer to spew fire right from his palm.?
4. Umbrella dart gun
Just one day before his 1978 death in London, Bulgarian dissident writer Georgi Markov felt a sharp prick in his thigh. He looked up to see a man clumsily fiddling with an umbrella before speeding off. The brolly had shot a dart loaded with a pellet of ricin, a sophisticated poison. The pellet was coated in a special wax designed to melt at body temperatures, releasing the ricin into the bloodstream. The shooter, believed to be a member of the Bulgarian secret police, was never caught.?
5. Exploding chocolate
Prime Minister Winston Churchill did not like the Nazis. And the Nazis did not like Prime Minister Winston Churchill, as evidenced by a letter written by a high-ranking World War II-era British intelligence officer, referencing a bizarre Nazi assassination plot to kill the boisterous politician with explosive chocolate. "We have received information that the enemy are using pound slabs of chocolate which are made of steel with a very thin cover of chocolate," wrote Lord Victor Rothschild of British intelligence. "Inside there is a high explosive and some form of delay mechanism." Fortunately, British spies discovered the candy bombs, which were to be placed around the War Cabinet's dining room, before anyone could have a taste.
6. Pistol glove
Another product of the Cold War-era KGB, this glove-cum-pistol be fired with the twitch of a finger. "It gave the wearer the ability to get within point blank range before firing a lethal shot," says Buck Sexton at The Blaze. "Oddjob would be proud."
7. Poisoned cigars
On August 16, 1960, a CIA official was handed a box of Fidel Castro's favorite cigars? along with instructions to rig them with a deadly poison. The cigars were treated with a toxin called botulinum, reportedly so potent it could kill any man who attempted to light one of the cigars. Though the cigars were duly doctored, it's unclear if they ever even made it into Castro's vicinity.?
8. CIA's heart-attack gun
During a mid-1970s Senate testimony, it was revealed that the CIA had developed a dart gun capable of causing a heart attack. The dart ? which could penetrate clothing, leave skin unmarked except for a small red bump resembling a mosquito bite, and then disintegrate ? was filled with a deadly shellfish toxin. The advantage, says InfoWars, was that officials would attribute the victim's death to natural causes in the event of an autopsy. It's unclear if the heart attack gun was actually ever used.?

Justin Bieber Overalls (PHOTO): Fashion Fail With Prime Minister
Yes, he is the biggest thing EVER to come out of Canada?eh? But the Justin Bieber overalls photo is hysterical ? and I can?t believe he would wear them to meet the Prime Minister. This owes him fashion fail of the utmost degree. Even scrappy, tattooed, herion-addict looking celebrities usually make an attempt at cleaning up if they are going to meet a dignitary. I think I?ve seen characters like Tommy Lee wearing suits ? even if they leave out the tie. So what if you are the biggest, most successful celebrity to come out of your country? Shouldn?t you at least throw on a button-up polo to meet the Prime Minister of said country? Sure. But my issue is not that he wore a ridiculous, striped, three-stooges outfit to accept a big award?.it?s that he wore it in the first place. One strap off, big, goofy hat on backwards and sideways, and a painfully ugly pair of shoes. Come on, Justin. You can do better. What do you think about the Justin Beiber overalls photo? Is it a total fail?

Peru radio host still broadcasting for kids at 97
LIMA, Peru (AP) ? It was the golden age of radio and World War II still raged when Maruja Venegas began broadcasting a show for Peru's children.
Sixty-eight years later, her "Radio Club Infantil" is still on the air, making the 97-year-old Venegas the globe's longest-running radio personality, according to Guinness World Records.
"The children of yesterday are all grown now. They've married. They are grandparents today. So it's them, the grandparents, who support me most," she told The Associated Press in an interview in her home in a middle-class district of the capital.
"A lot of grandparents sit their grandchildren down to listen to the program," she said, stooped by age but still elegant with earrings and a camel-colored coat.
Venegas was a popular announcer on music programs when she launched the show on Dec. 18, 1944, at the request of government officials to entertain ailing children at a public hospital. The first commercial black and white television broadcasts were still more than a decade in the future for Peru. In the United States, "Fibber McGee and Molly" and "The Al Jolson Show" were going strong.
Venegas' show became so popular in the 1950s that it drew Peru's top singers and performers. It had contests, helped make careers. Listeners persuaded her to open a school in 1956. But when the country fell on hard times in the late 1980s, Venegas was forced to close it.
The show went on, however, even if Venegas began doing it by telephone from home when she reached age 90, and the program that once aired twice a week is now down to a single half-hour slot at 6 p.m. on Sundays, carried by Santa Rosa, a religion-oriented station. She still prepares her own programs, which always include a story, music, advice and commentary.
And she does it without pay, as she always has through the decades, making her living from other programs and jobs.
"My mother told me that I should never charge for Radio Club Infantil because it was for children and for the ill," Venegas recalled.
She could have used the money.
Venegas, who never married, has limited funds and like most people her age, physical limitations to address. She says she suffers from diabetes.
"I've lost eyesight. I can only see through one eye," she said. "But I remain optimistic"
She lives alone on an $870 a month pension that is not sufficient to support her and the 89-year-old sister with whom she lives. In order to pay the two people who care for them, she had to sell the second floor of her house.
Now, she's thinking of selling part of the first floor.

Parking Lot Car Accidents - It's That Time of Year - noyes legal news ...
Automobile accidents happen everywhere, but did you know that approximately 20 percent of car accidents happen in parking lots? With Christmas shopping season, the chances of being involved in a parking lot accident increases. However, there are ways to reduce the chances of a car accident in a parking lot.
One way to prevent a parking lot car accident is to be on lookout for bad drivers--those that cut across empty rows, drive too fast, or ignore signs and pavement markings. A driver needs to be extra cautious in parking lot to make up for those drivers that are less cautious.
For some reasons, pedestrians seem to be less watchful as they stroll to find their car. While looking for their car, they are not looking out for your vehicle. By anticipating pedestrians, you may be able to avoid crashing into them.
My favorite (and my wife's least favorite) is to simply to park as far away from other drivers as safely possible. It may be inconvenient, but we could all use the walk and it reduces the chances of a car accident.
Even if you take precautions, others may not causing you to be involved in a parking lot car accident. If that happens, here are a few things you should do:
- Notifying police or security. You will want a record of the crash for your insurance company.
- When a parking-lot accident first occurs, never admit it was your fault and don?t argue over who was at fault. Just exchange names, addresses, phone numbers and insurance information. You will never change their opinion at the accident scene.
- Find witnesses to the accident and ask whether they?d be willing to furnish a name or contact number. The location of the vehicles at the time of impact is important in establishing liability after a parking lot automobile accident.
- Take pictures--lots of them. Don?t move the vehicles until you take pictures. Photograph the skid marks, if any, along with broken glass or other debris.
- Although parking lot accidents don't typically cause huge property damage, they can still cause significant neck and back injuries--especially if the neck and back are turned when the car is struck. Make sure you see your doctor after any car accident, even a parking lot accident, to get checked out.
Enjoy Christmas shopping, but be safe in the parking lots and watch out for those who aren't.

Maryland Alcohol Sales Stagnant: Where Will You Get Your ...
?
Sales of distilled spirits have increased only .2 percent in Maryland since last year?far below the national average of 3.1 percent, according to figures stated in a recent Washington Post blog post.
The post cites the Distilled Council of the United States, which linked the stagnating sales to the increase in taxes on?alcohol?from 6 percent to 9 percent.
The chief economist for the council, David Ozgo, is quoted as stating that ?Maryland consumers are voting with their feet and making their purchases in Delaware.?
A Capital News Service article reported that sales of distilled spirits near the border of Maryland and Delaware in Cecil County are down 57 percent.
Do you venture to other states like Delaware to purchase alcohol?

Of bargains: grand and not so much
Bargaining is a big part of life. It is how prices are set, business deals get made, and political differences are hashed out. Sometimes you get the advantage, sometimes not -- and often it's the bargain itself that's memorable.
A rug merchant waits for customers at the Mecca market in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ayez Nureldine/AFP/Getty Images/File
EnlargeA?hot wind blew off the Red Sea. Along with a dozen other reporters, I was camped out in an air-conditioned foyer at a royal palace in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, waiting for the Saudi foreign minister and the US secretary of State to emerge from crisis meetings in the weeks before the 1991 Gulf War. Hours ticked by. Reporters dozed. Somewhere near dawn, our Saudi handlers ushered in a rug merchant to distract us with his goods.

I was a tough but seasoned bargainer, tossing out the word ?soumak? when he unrolled a flat-woven rug. Not to be taken for a rube, I began decisively, cutting the offering price of the tribal textile in half, all the while staying cordial with my new ?friend.? I knew when to act miffed, when to say I could go no higher, and when to give ground.
?Mabrouk,? the merchant said, pumping my hand as we finally closed the deal. ?Congratulations, sir. You bargain well and have excellent taste.?
I got my prize, plus a small brass coffeepot ? and something even better: a great story. Robin, my wife and artistic director, had taught me to look for that tribal rug design. I had watched her 10 years earlier drive a hard bargain in the Hamidiya souk of Damascus, so this would be an excellent ?Hi, honey, I?m home!? trophy. I could see my carefully acquired soumak spread out under the coffee table.
One day, I imagined, someone might ask the intrepid foreign correspondent if there was a story behind that rug. Well, yes,
?ha-ha, now that you ask: A hot wind blew off the Red Sea....
Some weeks later, I unpacked my bags, and Robin examined the rug. She seemed to admire the style. I told her about the negotiations, the back-and-forth drama, and the hearty ?Mabrouk? that sealed the deal.
?Nice to have you home, dear,? she said.
The rug was placed under the table. A few days later, somebody spilled a tumbler of water on it. The colors ran, burgundy flowing into beige, brown into ochre. The wool puckered, and forever afterward the not-so-valuable and certainly-not-old dust catcher was known as ?John?s famous mabrouk soumak.?
Our dogs enjoyed it. Goodwill eventually accepted it.
The larger point? Negotiations are tricky. Prices and values are not objective facts but markers of give and take, set by us when we engage with each other. When we negotiate, we know our starting position but cannot dictate the outcome.
Congress and the president of the United States are engaged in an epic negotiating session to try to figure out how much government should spend and tax and how to avoid plunging off the Jan. 1 ?fiscal cliff.? The Monitor?s David Grant has dug deeply into the issues and explained them clearly and calmly in a recent Monitor cover story.?
Psychologists say that when you are negotiating, the important thing is to clearly articulate what you want, remain open-minded and genial, and be ready to make a deal. You may not get what you thought you wanted, but you don?t get anything by refusing to bargain. I wanted an impressive trophy. I got something that has lasted much longer: a story.

Afghan police: Student killed in university clash
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? Sunni and Shiite students clashed at Kabul University on a Shiite holy day Saturday, and Afghan authorities say that one person was killed.
Gen. Mohammad Zahir, director of the criminal investigation division, said police were trying to assess why the fight that broke out in the afternoon, killing one student and wounding six others.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene said Shia and Sunni students started fighting and by evening, several hundred more people joined the melee, fist-fighting and throwing stones at each other. He said eyewitnesses at the scene said the clash was related to Ashoura, the commemoration of the 7th century death of the Prophet Mohammad's grandson.
Afghan leaders went to the site to try to calm the crowd. Abdul Azim Nurbakhsh, a spokesman for the Ministry of Higher Education, said late Saturday that classes at the university had been canceled for the next 10 days. Damage was reported to buildings at the university.
Other gatherings marking Ashoura in the Afghan capital were peaceful, but last year, a suicide bomber on foot struck worshippers at a Shiite shrine in Kabul, killing at least 80 people. Some Sunni extremists consider Shiite ceremonies to be heretical.
Separately, NATO said a service member with the international military coalition was killed Saturday in an insurgent attack in the south.
No other information was disclosed.
So far this year, 379 NATO service members have died in Afghanistan.

Black Friday Guide For Gay Shoppers: HRC's Buyer's Guide Ranks Brands' Corporate Equality
Great news for holiday shoppers who will be hitting Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks and Target this Black Friday: all three companies get top rankings in the new Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's Buyer's Guide.
The report, also titled "Buying for Workplace Equality 2013," divides popular businesses and their related products into three categories based on their score on the HRC Foundation?s Corporate Equality Index. With a score of 100, Abercrombie & Fitch and Target rank alongside General Mills and Kellogg's as being among the businesses and brands to receive the highest workplace equality scores.
On the flip side, the Trump Organization, Urban Outfitters and even Tupperware received considerably less favorable ratings, placing them among the report's businesses/brands to receive the lowest workplace equality scores.
?It?s not often people think of ?Black Friday? as an occasion to take a stand for LGBT equality, but the HRC Buyers? Guide is the tool fair-minded consumers need to do just that,? HRC President Chad Griffin said in an email statement. ?With historic electoral wins for equality earlier this month, it is clear Americans care about how companies treat their LGBT workers.?
Check out the full rankings here.
