CVC






















Here's a peek at the  famous dancing Nao robots, the technological mascot of the France Pavilion.  This marks the first time robots have supported an artistic field evoking emotions. Nao is a humanoid, autonomous, interactive and completely programmable robot created by Aldebaran Robotics (www.aldebaran-robotics.com/en), the worldwide leader in humanoid robotics.

    1. Dear Jonny,
      You and Chris and the other cubs are hard working, dedicated and just wonderful. You have all done a terrific job for your team. It must mean the world to those kids and their families to be allowed to go to DC. The best thing, is that a winning team has been kept together. You guys work so well together it would have been a great shame to break you up. And your chances of winning are so much better with that unbeatable combination.
      I would love to know how much you made with the penny contest. Poppa's right you did great. You deserve a good rest and a nice reward. That trophy would be the best reward, I'm guessing.
      I bet you are all raring to go and take on the competition. It would be wonderful if you win but you have already achieved so much.... more than anyone expected. Just to be included in the DC debates is an honor and a achievement. If you don't win one of the top places this year, there is always next year. You and Chris are a lot braver than me. I always got nervous speaking in front of an audience. Maybe I was always afraid I would fall off the stage or pass some gas very loudly. I don't know...but you are my heroes.
      I love deep sea videos. It is so hard to believe such creatures exist right here on earth and we never knew about them until the last couple of years. They look something like I imagine aliens would look.
      I am feeling good thank you buddy. I hear uncle Gregg's pig is the best ever. I will sure enjoy that. I have scraped up all the good luck and positive energy in Canada and am sending it to DC with you. Wish I could be there to watch you.

      Lots of love and a huge hug,
      Aunt Jeannie

    1. Hello my pretty girl,
      I am so glad Mama had a nice birthday. I bet you cubs made it very special for her. Wow! that sounds like an awful lot of fish, even for the big crowd of people you had up at the cabin. There must have been some fish left over to take home.
      I remember that Man didn't mind anyone too much. He always did his own thing and thought he was one of the big kids. But he turned out okay.
      I am so proud of the way you all pitched in to help the team get enough money to go to DC. I understand you worked so hard that you all fell asleep in front of the TV. You did a very kind thing. Some of the families did not have enough money to go to DC and their kids would have missed out on the most exciting trip in their lives. Be proud of yourself.
      Do you think Mama is scary? Hahahaha! She may look scary but on the inside, you know she is soft as mush. You guys know you can make her cry with happiness. And look how hard she works for Daddy when he needs her.
      I hope you pick a fun place for your vacation like the diamond fields or something even more exciting. You will have a great time wherever it is. Your trip to DC will be pretty exciting too.I think Jonny and Chris and team will sure give the competition a run for their money in DC.
      It is nice to be proud of your brother. He wants to make you all proud of him.
      Guys his age and Chris's often hide from girls. Girls tend to make them nervous even if they like them. I know, because Sam and Jake are the same way. Sam is a bit more shy than Jake. Jake is more relaxed and easy going. Girls like Jake because he's funny and makes them laugh and that breaks the ice.
      I hope the videos made you laugh. Laughter is very important... it makes you feel happy.
      Jonny sent me some roast pig so that sauce will be fantastic. Thank you. How do you feel about magic carpets? Being a genie, I have several. I think I will send you a sky blue one.

      Lots of love and hugs to you Sweetie
      Luv Aunt Jeannie

  3. Aunt Jeannie , hope you are doing better and enjoying good weather and your mama is doing better . We worked real hard when we got back from Baton Rouge to raise money for D.C. We made it yesterday and I can hardly wait to see how much we collect from the penny jar . We has car washes yard sales and bake sales . we wash cars at my daddy place and some yard sales . we had car washes and yard sales and bake sales at uncle Gil place , he has a big parking lot and more shade of the cake sales . aunt Jeannie we wash the floor with those kids in Baton Rouge , they just knew they was going to beat up because we was 6th graders , the 8 grade boy that got sharp with Jonny , I was debating with one of his teams mates on the environment and he stood up and his team mate told him to come on . I look at Jonny and he was ready for him and I told them my team mate was coming up and Jonny came up and said thank you Chris and he look at the guy and said I told you we will meet again . Jonny said it in the microphone so every one could hear him . Aunt Jeannie Jonny had that guy so confuse he almost start crying , he will be going to high school this year , when the judges start with science and space , I knew we was going to know them out , the last 15 minutes Jonny look at me and I bow my head yes and took the stand and after a few questions the guy walk off and one of his team mates took the stand . They was from Minden not far from us . We had good time this month and daddy and uncle Gil said it was not over . Aunt Jeannie all the videos was good and the funny raccoon was so funny , they all are funny and I think you for sending them to us . I am sending you some apple cobbler , it's so good . love you and hope you feel better .

    1. Dear Chris,
      I am good, thank you and I will tell my Mama that you asked after her. I sure am enjoying the fine weather. Not so much the big thunder storm we had a few days ago. I think it was the tail end of Hurricane Authur. Man, there were lightning strikes all over the place.
      I know how hard you guys have been working to help the other families so they can go to DC. I think that was totally decent of you and very kind. That's what you do when you are part of a team. They would do the same for you if they could. I bet you know how to wash cars really good now. Hahaha! I do wonder how much you made on the penny contest. I think Jonny said they sold 5 rolls of tickets.
      That is going to be some exciting trip. These are the good times, my friend, and you earned them.
      Those grade eights sure learned their lesson when you were done with them...like don't brag and don't count your chickens before they hatch. Being confident, however, is a good thing.
      When I knew that the environment and space were topics on the schedule, I just knew you guys would blow them away. I hope the rest of your summer is just as great my friend and I hope you have a cool vacation.
      I am happy the videos amused you and I thank you for the peach cobbler, It's one of our favorites.
      I am sending you the same as I sent Jonny...a whole bunch of good luck and good vibrations so you can wipe the floor with the kids in DC.

      Lots of love, a big hug and a hearty handshake
      Luv Aunt Jeannie

  4. Aunt Jeannie , how are you feeling I hope the weather is nice and you feel better sitting out side listening to the birds and Maxy is being a good boy . aunt Jeannie this is a very busy summer for us , my mama said it is all part of growing up as long as you enjoy what you do . aunt Jeannie I can hardly wait to learn how much we raise in the penny jar , all the team mates will be going and they are very glad . we wash cars and sold bake goods and people would come by and put in their orders and poppa told them that they could come down to Poppa Country Herb Garden and order what they wanted and also get home cook food to carry home or eat there . Uncle Gil said poppa could sell you your own teeth with them still in your head , I laughs at uncle Gil because he is funny and do not know it , poppa is funny to . aunt Jeannie I like all the videos and we will watch them again when everyone finish writing you . I am sending you some home made peach ice cream aunt Nee made today . Love you and please feel better .

    1. Hello Sheryl, my Sweetie,
      The weather is gorgeous and my flowers look so pretty now. I do feel so much better sitting out in the fresh air. Maxy is not a good boy. He hates all the chipmunks and chases them and barks his head off. He thinks they are his enemies and chases them up the drain pipes. Then they run out again and tease him and run circles around him.
      You are not kidding when you say this is a busy summer for you. You guys have worked your butts off to raise money for the team. I think you are an awesome bunch of people to be so kind and helpful. Just imagine, when you see the debate team up on that stage in DC, you'll know it's partly because of your help.
      Poppa did great selling baked goods...even the ones he stole. It was all for a good cause and a good laugh. Poppa is a heck of a good salesman. As we say up here, he could sell ice to an Eskimo. Uncle Gil is funny and so are Poppa and Uncle Harvey. They have a lot of fun.
      If you did such a good job on the cars, watch out, your Daddy might want you to wash his cars every week from now on. Hahaha! I bet the food is wonderful at Poppa's Country Herb Garden. Your family sure knows how to make good food. I bet your mama does.
      I am happy you liked the videos and hope they made you chuckle.

      That ice-cream sounds so delicious, I think I better eat it right away before Uncle Brian finds it. I think I will send you one of my magic genie bottles. They look small on the outside but are huge on the inside and look like a palace. You can go there if your brothers get on your nerves . Enjoy the summer and have a wonderful vacation.

      Lots of love and hugs
      Luv Aunt Jeannie

    1. Dear Bubba
      I am happy you enjoyed the videos buddy. I love animal videos too. Monkeys are always so funny. I heard that you did an awesome job washing cars to help your brother and his team.
      You are such a good boy and a good brother. I bet you got very tired doing all that work.
      I am very proud of you and I'm sure Mama and Daddy are too. I hope you have lots of fun on your vacation. I wonder where you are going for your trip.
      Thank you for my pretty ribbons. I really needed some new ribbons for my hair. I think I will send you a Spiderman suit so you can climb up buildings and swing on spider webs.

      Hugs and kisses and lots of love
      Luv Aunt Jeannie

    1. Hello Man,
      Those dog and baby videos were just for you. I am pleased that you liked them. Did you wash cars too? That was hard work, but I bet you did a great job. Right now I am sitting in the drain pipe with all the chipmunks that live in my garden and I am sharing those yummy sugar cookies you sent me. Chipmunks just love sugar cookies and they said to tell you thank you very much.
      I think I will send you a Spiderman suit too so you can swing on webs with Bubba and you can both catch bad guys.
      Lots of hugs and kisses for you Little Man,
      And lots of love from Aunt Jeannie

  7. Aunt Jeannie , those are some keen videos and we watch them time we got home , We finished working Saturday and poppa took up to the game room Sunday , we had fun then we went to the museum we all love going there . We are getting ready for D.C. the grown ups worked hard helping us , the teams family and friend help a lot and poppa and uncle Harvey work , they help the ladies with the bake sale and Nanook gave some of his crafts to the yard sale Miss Della went to the flea market with mama and the shops and got things that was ot selling fast and put them in the yard sale . Daddy said Sha and Jenny and Sheryl take care of Bubba and Man , keep up with them . one lady said girls one of the boys took off running to the front , it was man , I too off behind him . Aunt Jeannie I pick up his shoes and then his pants and then his drawers at the door I went in the lobby and Man was running to daddy office with his naked but and daddy was coming out the door and Man went by him like a shot . The man laugh and said well Mr Carano he said he had to pee . Dadd said look in the closet and get him some dry clothes . Miss Anita call me and ask what happen and Man was in the lobby with his naked butt and daddy said come here you are not to let the ladies see your junk . Man do not know what daddy was talking about . Aunt Jeannie we will be going to D.C. soon I had a good time there when we went for the bears , daddy took us to museum and places of history . One of Jonny team mates daddy is an accountant and daddy will hire him to work in his office . The man is going to give his boss notice when we get back . I think it is 5 people leaving daddy office going to Reno . Mama is helping daddy until he get the hotel and casino people ready . Mama is letting us and some members run the meeting now until school starts , Miss Davis is helping . Aunt Jeannie all the videos are funny and poppa and uncle Harvey is learning the magic tricks poppa is so funny , he told MeMa that he would make her disappear when he want her food , Mema had fried chicken for dinner , aunt Susan told poppa and uncle Harvey , they went to steal it and got caught they told MeMa they was hungry Mema told poppa to go home and eat and poppa said mama had a lock on the kitchen door , aunt Jeannie the kitchen do not have a door to shut poppa is so funny. Aunt Jeannie thank you for the videos and I am sending you a big slice of ham love you .

    1. My dear Crusader,
      I enjoy your letters. I am glad you are not too grown up for my videos yet. This week I could not find a good scary movie but I will find one next time that will scare the pants off you... worse than the clown one. I don't think Poppa or Uncle Harvey would be any good at magic tricks...are they?
      I love museums a lot too. We have a lot in common. I guess you needed a break from all the hard work you guys have been doing to help the team. It was a good idea to sell off some of the Nanook stuff and I wonder how much the penny contest made for the DC trip.
      I am proud of you all for helping your brother's team. Good work, my Crusader, and your loyal knights.
      You made me laugh so much when you had to try and catch Man. That guy can sure move fast when he wants to. Only your brother would run through the lobby with a naked butt. Next time you might have to staple his pants on. Maybe Man does know where his junk is but he doesn't care who sees it when he has to pee really bad...Hahahaha!
      You are going to have so much fun in DC. And there are still lots of neat places there you haven't seen yet. It's a pretty awesome place and very big.
      Daddy and Mama have been working very hard lately to finish the Reno thing in time for your trip. I hope they can do it. It was cool of daddy to hire the team mate's dad.
      It's great that Mama trusts you so much to help run the meetings. Miss Davis is a very nice lady (not one of the silly ones).
      Poppa and Uncle Harvey are so funny. They have fun stealing food. Seems to me those guys are always hungry. I don't think Mema minds at all. Everyone knows there is no door on your kitchen so Poppa won't get away with that one.
      I am going to take that ham you sent and make a big sandwich right now. All this talk about food made me hungry. I am sending you one magic power. I can do that because I am a genie. What will it be?? The power to fly or to become invisible or change into something else?? Think about it and choose.

      Lots of love and big hugs
      Luv Aunt Jeannie

    1. Hi Gil,
      It sounds like those kids worked their little butts off for the team. No wonder you are proud of them...in spite of your younger son's exhibitionist tendencies. They are great kids.

      Have a safe and happy trip to DC
      Your friendly Neighborhood Genie
