Comments about Matte Moisture Tint SPF 15:
I love the luminizing moisture tint but this one should be even more perfect for me so I was super psyched to put this on my wish list for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT I WANT FROM BEAUTY BAR IS OUT OF STOCK right now. Really bad timing to not replenish stock considering Mom's Day is coming up and I have sample society discounts I wanted to use on the things I got in my box. Can't get any of it right now because all 3 items I want have been unavailable for some time now. PLEASE REPLENISH so I can give you my business! I also want CoTZ natural skin SPF cream and the Hanskin sheet mask. If my discount expires and I can't get these items soon I'm going to have to purchase all of it elsewhere. :o(

|In response to Re: polybutaline pipe problems
What kind of repair did you make that cost $750.00? Most utilities are only responsible for the pipe up to the water meter. After the meter it is the customer's responsibility. Whether you are eligible for the class action depends on when the house was built.
: I have made repairs to the polybutaline pipe used in the watermain to house connection. The local utility board is "stonewalling" in helping me recover some of my costs ( $750). Does anyone know whereI can get info on the problems or class action law suits involving this pipe material? Thanks

Gay animals?
Oh, good grief.
Well I won't watch either, for some reason any event like this drives me to re-arrange my sock drawer.
Hello people.....does anyone know the last time Obozo met with this job council?
Spell it backwards.
The last I heard, the Jobs Council has been dissolved.
And another thing, whenever colleges come out with this "white guilt" crap, why don't ALL the white students and their parents start holding massive and highly vocal demonstrations in protest? Geez people, haven't you had enough?
If you don't put me on the PING list, I'll get OBAMA to come to your house every day... :)
Ok..so who is Obozo working with when he's creating jobs? I'm sure that is an important subject in tonights fake speech.....
Got it! LOLOL!! (I gotta write that one down...)
Thank God for *Mute Buttoms* on TVs, keyboards etc! I despise, loathe and hate his face/voice!
Got it; Bwahahaha!
I think that I may have some insights into why some of the left wingers are beginning to question Obama, mostly through our local battle against the Obama push for sub-bituminous coal terminals in WA and Oregon.
Obama is pushing for a One World Government that would place control of multi-national corporations under a World governing board, allowing foreign corporations to sue the US over restrictive environmental or union regulations. It would allow corporations to operate in the US under the same laws as their corporate home.
It's a new trade treaty, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The left is going nuts over this and so are the unions. But, so should the Conservatives be worried because it also includes some sort of global taxing authority, maybe a carbon tax.
The left is worried because they are completely shut out of the process and all their work to control local corporate growth is going to wasted if the companies take on a foreign partner.
Locally, Obama's was supporting the coal terminals, no more than supporting, pushing them hard, putting pressure on the former governor, Christine Gregoire to support the terminals. She was promised a position in the Obama administration in exchange for her support. The problem is the Greens that are opposed to the coal terminals refused to work with her, so she is out of luck as head of the EPA or Sec'ty of the Interior. and the coal terminals are dead. So, she is out of luck with the unions as well. Obama only wanted the terminals to keep the union voters in line for the election. There never was going to be any new coal terminals.
"Geez people, havent you had enough?"
Nope. They're to busy watching Idol, Beyonce and the island! Bread and circuses....
Thank you.....
Ok, but I don't see any libs questioning him....
The unions and the Greens, and the rest of the Democrat coalition are just beginning to worry a bit that Obama is not fully on board with their agenda.
The Greens are holding a giant protest in WA DC on the 17 to send a message to Obama against fossil fuel exports and the PPT treaty, with smaller protests in cities around the country. They are getting some of the union support for the protest by adding the PPT treaty.
its time to PANIC, people
I love Rush, listen most days; but, Rush isn't going to utter the above quote, he's got a radio program/associated income to retain/maintain. I think that if he utters the above quote, it could have considerable impact and put at risk the aforementioned. Did Colonial British citizens of the 1770's-1780's panic because of British tyranny? Well, if they did, it may be time for panic here.

Dixie State spurted up the PacWest standings to 22 points (7-3-1 in league) with three points. PLNU remained at 19 points with a 6-3-1 mark in conference play.
"This was our second slow start in a row," DSU head coach Kacey Bingham said. "Last week, we weren't able to come back."
Twenty-five minutes into the match, the visitors held a 2-0 lead. Courtnie Marshall and Jessica Van Loo each went to the left side of the net past Stacie Gubler (Las Vegas, NV/Palo Verde) for the Sea Lion advantage.
After the halftime break, the Red Storm showed increased focus and energy.
Megan Marchbanks (Springville, UT/Springville) depostied a shot after the ball bounced around the box a few times to make the score 2-1 in the 48th minute.
Mason tallied the equalizer in the 59th minute on a perfetly executed free kick pass from Aarika Andersen (Bountiful, UT/Woods Cross).
"I was proud of the intensity we brought in the second half," Bingham added.
Both teams had multiple chances in the latter part of the second half and the first overtime, but it was Mason on a breakaway that sealed the deal.
The Red Storm outshot the Sea Lions 16-13, Gubler took the win in goal making six saves.
Dixie State heads out for its final two matches of the year against California Baptist - a non-conference tilt on Nov. 7 and the league finale on Nov. 9.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA) require the U.S. EPA to identify sources, quantify emissions, develop regulations, and assess public health and environmental impacts of toxic air pollutants, as well as put regulations into effect for the 188 air toxics.
NATA is the National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment which the U.S. EPA developed to model exposure to 32 air toxics (a subset of the 188 air toxics) plus diesel particulate matter (diesel PM). These pollutants present the greatest threat to public health in the largest number of urban areas. The results of the national-scale assessment will provide important information to help EPA continue to develop and implement an appropriate and effective national air toxics program.

An exciting thing happened this week: Girlfriend, an Australian monthly magazine for teen girls aged 14 to 17 years of age, published a story on fat stigma. Even more exciting: I'm the one who wrote it!
Girlfriend has really cool, feminist editors; some of the stories they've featured in recent months include street harassment, transgenderism, and a critique of the idea of 'real women' (interspersed with posters of One Direction, naturally. SO GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY HEEEAAAAD AND FALL INTO MY ARMS INSTEEEAAAD…) They hold the young women of Australia in such high regard and I'm stoked to be published in their pages.

They only show the bowl action but just imagining the linear velocities and appearance of things going through that long trap at those flow rates is mind boggling.

Tuesday June 14th we will be holding a Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting Ceremony right here at A Bed of Roses. A year ago June 25th we sold our house in Boston, packed up our antiques and our two cats and headed south to Asheville to buy A Bed of Roses, Victorian Bed and Breakfast. It took us until the end of August to complete the purchase and until just this past April to get our shiny new website up and running. It has been an action packed year! Between changing to a whole new profession and relocating to a totally different area of the country, with all of the things that "moving" entails, we've had our hands full. We had no idea how much there was to learn and master when we began this journey. We knew in our hearts that we would love innkeeping, though, and we were right about that! Now it's time to celebrate this fast paced year of learning and life change and introduce ourselves formally to the greater Asheville community, a community we have come to absolutely love! We also want to thank and celebrate all of the great guests that we've had in this year. So many have been wonderfully supportive and excited for us in this new venture. Just reading the comments all of you have left in our room journals buoys our spirits and convinces us that we chose the best career in the world. Thank you!!

Virgin Australia Suspends Adelaide and Mildura Services20/06/2011
The Virgin Australia Group of Airlines will suspend all services into and out of Adelaide and Mildura on Tuesday, 21 June 2011, because of the return of a volcanic ash plume from Chilean volcano, Cordon Caulle.
Group Executive Operations, Sean Donohue, said the latest advice from the Bureau of Meteorology and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre necessitates the suspension flights to the cities until further notice.
"The current forecast suggests the ash plume will be below 20,000 feet over Adelaide and Mildura tomorrow. With this in mind we are suspending these services tomorrow," Mr Donohue said.
"We are endeavouring to contact affected Guests to discuss alternative travel options. We are regularly updating information on our website and urge Guests to check it for the latest information available."
Mr Donohue said the Group's Volcanic Ash Management Team has continuously monitored the situation since the first impacts on flights more than a week ago.
"Our Volcanic Ash Management Team has been in regular contact with the Bureau of Meteorology and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in order to ensure the safety evaluations we make regarding our fleet operations are made on the most accurate and up to the minute data available," he said.

Dive Into Dumplings
Richards, Sherri. "Dive Into Dumplings." Forum, 8 March 2006, sec. B1 and B3.
Ask for dumplings anywhere in the world and you'll likely get your
It just might not be what you imagined.
Dumplings are defined only as mounds of dough, usually cooked in
a liquid.
Some are stuffed with meat or cheese. Others are sweet, wrapped
fruit, poached in a sugary sauce.
But in one form or another, dumplings are prevalent in every culture
around the world, according to the Food Network.
Oatmeal is a common ingredient in England. In Asia, wontons are
the typical form.
In Italy, they're gnocchi, used the same way as other pastas.
For the past few months, Sarello's restaurant in Moorhead has offered
a gnocchi dish - served with spinach, mushrooms and olive oil -
and owner Tony Nasello will lead a community education class on
making gnocchi this spring.
"When you do them right, they're very fluffy and light,"
Nasello says. "They're like pillows, really."
When Rose Marie Gueldner, culinary historian and author from Fargo,
thinks of dumplings, her mind goes to the flour creations from central
Europe. She's devoting an entire chapter of her latest book, The
German Bread Baker, to dumplings.
"It used to be a meal for a lot of people, certainly in pioneer
days," Gueldner says.
"They were so easy to make compared to yeasted bread. You
could do it with almost no tools. You just needed a heating source
and you needed a pot," she says.
While the stove was busy baking the days bread, dumplings could
be made on
top of the range. A hearty meal with minimal ingredients, they could
stretch other foods. They could also be made from day-old bread.
For Roman Catholic settlers, dumplings were a common meal on days
meat was forbidden, Gueldner says.
"For meatless meals, that was the entre. That was it,"
she says. Dumplings likely lost favor as those restrictions were
Dumplings started off as a food for the aristocracy, Gueldner says,
improvements in milling and sifting made refined white and wheat
widely available.
At any Kroll's Diner, dumplings can be found every day in the knoephla
"They're very simple, flour and eggs, some water, baking soda,"
says Keith Glatt, whose parents founded the diners. "It's a
German-Russian heritage that is just something my family grew up
He also recalls knoephla fried in a pan with sausage and sauerkraut.
For nearly 20 years, Mel Larson of Fargo has made potato klubb
for a
monthly dinner at the Sons of Norway.
He mixes white and wheat flour, a little salt and baking powder,
ground potatoes and ham to feed 125 people. The dumplings are cooked
in a broth of pork hock and onion.
"She (my mother) used to put a little pork fat in the middle
(of each dumpling) all the time," Larson says. "When you
make 300 of them, you dont have time to monkey like that."
The dumplings are usually topped with butter, although some like
syrup on top. "That's not something I was ever used to,"
Larson says.
He hears from several people, especially those from an older generation,
that remember klubb, sometimes spelled klub (and sometimes called
kumla). They say haven't had it since they're mothers made it, Larson
Larson declined to share his recipe. Otherwise everyone would know
how to
make it, he says.
I always get good reports from it, he says.
Swabian Tiny Dumplings (Schwäbisches Spätzle)
6 eggs, beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves, optional
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Whisk together flour and eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in milk, parsley
salt. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten. The
will resemble a thick pancake batter.
Bring a large pot of salted water or stock to a boil. Place a strainer
or sieve in a bowl near the pot. Place 1 cup of batter on a cheese
grater with 1/4-inch openings, grating side down. Using a rubber
spatula and holding the grater over the boiling water, firmly push
the batter through the holes using a back-and-forth motion. Repeat,
working quickly until the surface of the cooking water is covered
but not crowded with dumplings. Simmer until done, dumplings have
surfaced and the center of a test dumpling is not doughy, several
minutes total. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon to the
strainer; rinse in cold water. Lay on baking sheet to dry. They'll
stick to your hand when ready to sauté. Repeat until the
batter is cooked.
To sauté, melt half the butter in a nonstick skillet over
high heat. Add half the dumplings; stir until golden brown. Season
with salt and pepper. Repeat with second batch. Serve warm as a
side dish.

Saints showed no respect - McDermott
Reading manager Brian McDermott has criticised Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese over the sacking of Nigel Adkins.
- Related Content
Adkins led Saints to two successive promotions and had guided the club out of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone recently, but he was fired nine days ago and replaced by Mauricio Pochettino.
Having also taken his team up to the top flight last summer, McDermott
knows how difficult managing a newly-promoted side can be.
The Royals boss, like Adkins, endured a tricky start to the season, but as has been the case with Saints, Reading have now seemingly turned a corner following an improvement in form.
McDermott has been thankful that the Reading owner Anton Zingarevich has kept faith with him through the club's rocky period and poured scorn on Cortese's treatment of Adkins, whose name was absent from Southampton's matchday programme for Pochettino's first game in charge against Everton.
"What I thought was sad was what Nigel Adkins has done for Southampton wasn't even mentioned in that programme at the Everton game. Let's have a bit of respect. That's not right," the Reading manager said.
"That's not right and proper. What he has done for that club has been phenomenal.
"What I find fascinating about owners is that managers who lose games start to learn. They pick up a few points. Then they are sacked. It doesn't make any sense to me.
"For me, you learn from experience. Nigel struggled at the start of the season. Then he loses two games in 12 and gets the sack.

- last updated 23/01 21:48
"It doesn't seem like the right thing to do."
McDermott has grown close to Adkins over the last few years and he hopes the former Scunthorpe boss gets another shot at the big time soon.
"Nigel has earned the right to do so," McDermott added.
"No one can pick and choose their jobs in management - but he has been a fantastic manager at Scunthorpe and Southampton."
Reading took a break from their relegation battle to inflict a 4-0 defeat on Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Noel Hunt bagged a brace on a rare start while Garath McCleary and Mikele Leigertwood also found the net.
McDermott has led the Royals to two quarter-final appearances in the last three years and he hopes his team can go one better this term.
"There's a buzz around the place at the moment and that comes from winning games," McDermott said.
"If we can win another game we're in the quarter finals - and we've been there before and we'll try and go one further again.
"The only thing that mattered was going through."

Welcome to the initial release of Stanford's Copyright Renewal Database. This database makes searchable the copyright renewal records received by the US Copyright Office between 1950 and 1992 for books published in the US between 1923 and 1963. Note that the database includes ONLY US Class A (book) renewals.
The period from 1923-1963 is of special interest for US copyrights, as works published after January 1, 1964 had their copyrights automatically renewed by statute, and works published before 1923 have generally fallen into the public domain. Between those dates, a renewal registration was required to prevent the expiration of copyright, however determining whether a work's registration has been renewed is a challenge. Renewals received by the Copyright Office after 1977 are searchable in an online database, but renewals received between 1950 and 1977 were announced and distributed only in a semi-annual print publication. The Copyright Office does not have a machine-searchable source for this renewal information, and the only public access is through the card catalog in their DC offices.
In order to make these renewal records more accessible, Stanford has created this searchable database. Building on the work done by Project Gutenberg to transcribe the 1950-1977 renewals, and on early conversion efforts by Michael Lesk, we have converted the published renewal announcements to machine-readable form, and combined them with the renewals for later years made available on the Copyright Office's website. Note that this database covers only renewals, not original registrations, and is limited to books (Class A registrations) published in the US. Note that the Catalog of Copyright Entries, and therefore this database, does not include entries for assignments, and so cannot be used for searches involving the ownership of rights. Please also note that copyrights restored under Section 104(a) of the copyright act are not represented in this database.
Stanford has performed two rounds of testing in order to assess the accuracy of this database. In each round, we pulled a minimum of 500 book titles published in the US between 1923 and 1963 from the Stanford library catalog. The works were checked manually in the CCE, and, in the first round, a subset of 100 records was also sent to the Copyright Office to be checked by their in-house staff. Each of these items was then separately searched by project staff in the Copyright Renewals Database. In each round, the error rate for the database was found to be less than 1%, although in practice there is significant opportunity for user error or other problems in searching. Details of these issues can be found in Stanford's final report to Hewlett on the project ( PDF), and in the two search results sets ( Search Set #1, Search Set #2).
The full data set for the Copyright Renewals Database is available for download here. Stanford welcomes reuse of the data in other systems and search tools.
We welcome and encourage comments on the database. Please send comments to Mimi Calter at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nicola Cuff Ankle Pin Heel Sandal 4 4
Very pretty and horribly painful! I tried these on in the blue color in the store while I was trying on dresses. I thought they were cute and they seemed to fit well, so I asked for them in the nude color. Unfortunately, available in my size was only the blue. I ordered the nude in the same size. I tried them on after they arrived at my house, and unfortunately, they're like murder surrounding my poor little feet. They rub the back of my heels so sharply it feels like pins poking and they pinch my big toes like crazy (peep toes). Sorry BeBe, looks aren't everything. Maybe next time. These are going back to the store! January 8, 2013
very classy "purchase deep green, definitely a head turn and a show stopper. also purchase the green and gold bag. way to go bebe. this is definitely a top item" June 18, 2012
Hot OMG got these in all colors my husband loves them these are a must have for the summer with a hot dress or a pair of jeans. Thanks bebe June 10, 2012
Gorgeous "I really love the way these shoes look. They are very sexy. Only gave four stars for 2 reasons...the clip mechanism on the ankle strap takes a bit of maneuvering to engage (it may be just me), and I highly recommend an insole as the padding in the footbed is minimal. Otherwise, they are comfortable, easy to walk in. I would buy in other colors.Bebe...how about making these in nude (w/gold hardware) and red (w/gold hardware)?" June 2, 2012

At Least I've Got Options: Choosing Hysterectomy, Novasure Endometrial Ablation, or Mirena IUD
We all know that Scout (that's me) has some serious gynecological problems.
Dead serious.
Life-altering serious.
Now, if you have a wife or partner or girlfriend and this information pertains, by all means grab a cup of Joe and come on in to the crazy we call a woman's body.
If this helps anyone to realize that what they have and what they are feeling needs medical assistance then by all means, please come on in.
I finally got that appointment. Yes, that appointment.
I was assured my hypermenorrhagia (there's a name for it) is unexplainable by my small fibroids and definitely not normal. It could be hormonal.
It often occurs in women who have pale skin (me!), blond/red hair (me!), and have light colored eyes (me!). I won the triple trifecta.
However! It is most assuredly not normal.
Really not normal. I was instructed on what is typical and that has convinced me that since the age of 14 years old, my period has not been normal.
Not normal is blood clots (I told you TMI) larger than quarters. Erm me? How about lemons? Apples? Pint sized? As in when the blood flow is so strong and fast that the body does not have the time to release those compounds that prevent coagulation.
Also, the length of 7-10 days, the flow requiring me to sit on commode for an hour or longer at a time and using yes TWO super tampons and an overnight pad which is soaked in less than 45 minutes, is not normal.
Finally, the anemia and soul destroying fatigue of bleeding out and the life-altering part is also not okay.
I was presented with 4 options:
- Do nothing. (I laughed bitterly at that one)
- Meridia IUD which is coated with hormones. It helps 40% of the time to minimally lighten period. It also makes women gain mucho weight. and can cause hair loss, infection and more spotting mid-cycle. Oh, and there's a 60% chance it will do nothing. End result: I'll still definitely have my period and it is unlikely to have more than a minimal result.
- Uterine ablation/ Endometrial Ablation via Novasure. Yep, fry my uterus up in a pan of it's own juices. 90 seconds of a fanned out laser instrument at 360 degree. Risks do include perforation of the bladder, possible decreased sensation during the horizontal mambo, and oh, this: Due to insurance coverage, it would cost $2500 and only cost me a co-pay. My doctor says she only offers this option to those who have gone through childbirth because they can handle the pain. Yes, pain. As in local, Valium, etc. will not cover the feeling of having said fried uterus steak and eggs. Ack!
- Get an Novasure endometrial ablation in the hospital with general anesthetic. Have I mentioned that Malignant hyperthermia runs in the family which basically means increased risk of death due to anesthesia? I fear general anesthesia. Also, this procedure costs $10,000 and it depends on my insurance whether they will cover this procedure in the hospital versus in her office.
- Get a Laparscopic Supercervical Hysterectomy leaving the ovaries and cervix intact. Yep, cut it out. Gone. Three small pin sized holes in my abdomen and never a period again. Plus she can add a support for my bladder while she is in there so I don't pee in pools so often. Risks are infection, perforation, blood loss, scarring, and oh...death. Oh, yeah. Assuredly no more babies if my husband's second vasectomy was not enough. Like that's a bad thing. Heh!
So, I'm having problems deciding. Some of these seem to drastic and risky. Others seem like bringing a tissue to a flood. I know I need to make a decision in the end. Part of me says get it done right and get the hysterectomy. I am so tired. My quality of life sucks. Then there's the fear that I die and won't be there for my children.
What would you do in my place? I need some words. I seem frozen in indecision.

GRID-Arendal recently completed its third round of the Fredskorpset (FK-Norway) professional exchange programme. The programme helps to strengthen GRID-Arendal's partnerships in Africa and to identify new areas of focus for future work. Most importantly, it allows GRID-Arendal and its partner organizations to acquire new skills and expertise. Here, our southern participants have shared their experiences in their own words.
Read about the experiences of GRID-Arendal's Rannveig Formo and Bernardas Padegimas here.
Sahon poses at her desk (photo: Sahon Flan)
"I [worked] on projects such as the third Africa Environment Outlook report… providing research support on specific chapters of the reports and daily updating the Africa EarthWire website with relevant environmental stories…. In collaboration with Joel, we carried out a project entitled 'Creating Youth Awareness on Global Environmental Issues through GRID-Arendal publications and media tools'…. During the implementation of the project, we visited three schools, and held interactive lessons on climate change with a total of about 180 pupils. [The] response and feedback received from pupils and teachers were positive."
Sahon Flan, NESDA Côte d'Ivoire (placed with GRID-Arendal)
"I acquired knowledge and skills in writing of state of the environment reports and developing sensitivity atlases. I also took part in the finalisation of the Albertine Graben Environment Monitoring Plan which was published during the period of exchange.... [Through] working closely with the GIS and Remote Sensing Officer, I am proud to say that I am now able to use ArcGIS 10 for geo-referencing and creating maps and graphics. I also leant how to apply GIS [to develop] disaster vulnerability and risk maps. [Now back at home,] I am using the research and writing skills gained during the exchange in writing southern Africa News articles. In addition, I am facilitating meetings with other stakeholders interested in GIS. New joint projects related to GIS are expected to be carried out once funding has been sourced."
Neto Nengomasha, SARDC Zimbabwe (placed with NEMA)
"Things that I learned while on FK exchange:
I am using the research and writing skills I gained to contribute to the drafting up of the Zambia Atlas our organization is developing together with GRID-Arendal. The experience [at GA] in terms of IT, opened my eyes to new ways of handling computer backups and other IT related issues, which I am adopting here at home. Also, I am doing a lot of photography now and this will contribute to better images for future publications."
Joel Sangulukani Simwinga, ZEMA Zambia (placed with GRID-Arendal)
"I learnt how to write proposals or concept notes through frequent contribution and review of funding proposals. This came with knowledge in lobbying and capacity building skills. I also built my confidence and improved my time management skills. Communication skills cannot go unmentioned due to the opportunity given to chair the weekly departmental meetings…. [My] skills and knowledge in resource mobilization, dealing with differences, multi-tasking and writing are being utilized in the different activities at NEMA…. My superiors count on me to carry out assignments without supervision [and have] noted a difference in the way I write, speak and communicate which has enhanced my opportunities at the organization. I can now be sent to represent my organization at different levels. I have [also] been nominated to participant in the atlas for the Murchison Falls National Park, coordinated by Uganda Wildlife Authority."
Proscovia Khanzila, NEMA Uganda, (placed with SARDC)

INDIANAPOLIS - Senate Bill 416 was withdrawn this afternoon. In response to this development, Daniel Altman, Press Secretary for the Indiana Department of Education issued the following statement:
"The Superintendent is disappointed that Senate Bill 416 was withdrawn today. The bill would have improved and clarified accountability standards for all schools throughout Indiana. Community leaders, economic development experts, school administrators, teachers and parents have all expressed concerns with Indiana's current A-F system.
"Superintendent Ritz applauds the eleven members of the Senate Education Committee who passed this bill unanimously out of committee. As the session continues, Superintendent Ritz will work through the legislative process with Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate to improve accountability standards for all Indiana schools."

A hearing room filled with patch-wearing motorcycle club members broke out in cheers as an Arizona Senate committee passed a bill requiring police to take training highlighting a ban on profiling of motorcyclists by law enforcement officers.
Wednesday's hearing before the Senate public safety committee was prompted by complaints from bikers who say they're frequently stopped by police for no legitimate reason. Republican Sen. Judy Burges of Sun City West is the sponsor.
The executive director of the state board that certifies police officers complained that the bill would prohibit some law enforcement action and make it more difficult to train officers.
Committee chairman Sen. Chester Crandell warned the cheering bikers that the bill still has a long way to go before it becomes law.

Canada faces off against the U.S. in sitting volleyball next month
If you loved the Paralympic Games, you won't want to miss these matches… Come to watch and learn!
Sports fans in the Ottawa-Gatineau area will have the opportunity to witness world-class para-sport when Volleyball Canada's men's sitting volleyball team plays the U.S. sitting team at the Centre Sportif de Gatineau, April 4 to 6.
"We are very excited at the opportunity to come together in Gatineau to train at the national men's training centre, and showcase the sport of sitting volleyball," said Ray Sewell, Canada's men's sitting coach. "The team has not been together since the beginning of February, and we are looking to build off of what we accomplished in Colorado Springs where we played the U.S.A. in four exhibition matches."
Although the U.S. swept those games, it did make for exciting volleyball and provided excellent competition experience for both teams.
In addition to the games, a clinic on Saturday April 05 will give athletes and coaches exposure to the sport. The "Introduction to Sitting Volleyball Clinic" is an opportunity for anyone who is interested in sitting volleyball to come and out learn more about the sport, and watch a Canadian Team practice and train with some of the athletes. This clinic will feature a short classroom session that will go over the rules and characteristics of the game through a variety of photos and videos. Clinic participants will receive information handouts from the international sitting volleyball resource VolleySlide. The clinic will conclude with participants having the opportunity to sit down and scrimmage with some of Canada's National Team sitting athletes.
Sitting Volleyball for physically impaired athletes is part of the Summer Paralympic Games and the 2015 Parapan American Games, which will take place in Toronto.
This upcoming series of games in Gatineau is made possible through the partnership of the Ontario Volleyball Association, with the assistance of the Trillium Foundation, and the Ville de Gatineau. More info here.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This lure has been out for quite a while. I never really gave into the hype of balsa wood. I still don't care. But I decided to give it a try. I didn't even know that it didn't hate a rattle chamber. But for fishing in the CA Delta, this thing rocks! And silent worked better. Striper, LMB, and Crappie pound this thing. And you better believe that if it's a crappie, it's a monster crappie. It has plenty of flash. It's got an irresistible swim motion when burning it which creates plenty of reaction bites. And has a moderate side to side darting action when jerking and pausing. Fish just love it.
From: Thor: Sacramento, CA 2/21/15
Comments: This is a masterpiece of craft combined with newest and greatest technologies. This bait is really sweet looking with flawless finishes as expected from all Rapala's lures. However, this lure downsides are minor when casting in the high wind and castability isn't as great. Hopefully, Rapala will perfect this lure with more features like rattles, and weight transfer system of that lengendary X-Rap. Which I imagined in the future can be accomplished.
From: Chuong: San Jose, CA
Comments: Finally got one of these from TW in the Smelt pattern. Fishing in late fall in the northeast can be tough, but this bait was a killer for me this past weekend. I caught quite a few bass in the 2-3 pound range but I was also catching pike like crazy and few fairly big perch. I've never caught such a variety of fish on one bait before. This is definitely a fish attracter. Because it has a balsa core, it wobbles and turns (depending on which way it is facing due to the line tension) as it rises. Almost all of my strikes came on the pause, and they were very hard strikes.
From: Matt: MA
Comments: set another date for this bait again? must be catching fish, not sold yet in local stores. Hope next year to be stocked up so I can get one. I hope they come out with new xtreme balsa DT's that would be awesome to crankbait series. Good job rapala, keep making more lures in next decades because guys love improvement on baits and new types. Good fishing forever!

Fruit decorations offer economical and tasty Thanksgiving table decorating ideas
From lovely light green to beautiful blazing red, fresh pears are a natural element to incorporate in your fall decorating. Here are some easy ideas.

However, I think that my regular size would've been too long in the toe.After a couple of days out, they broke in. They're a good-looking pair of shoes with abundant cushioning, and I'm happy."

Skip to comments.Elementary School Bans Tag
Posted on 04/24/2008 7:45:11 PM PDT by John Semmens
The Kent Gardens Elementary School in McLean, Virginia has placed a ban on the school yard game of tagalleging that it sends the wrong message.
I cant tell you how many times Ive had to comfort a weeping child who didnt want to be it, said Vice-Principal Pat Keister. The game is too stressful and competitive. This contradicts the message of love and affection we are trying to convey through the free condom distribution program for our fifth-graders.
(Excerpt) Read more at azconservative.org ...
Oh my God.....
This man is a liability to the survival of our civilization and should be removed immediately. If he has a problem with teaching a child not to have an emotional meltdown from being "it" in a game of tag, he's not only an idiot, he's a dangerous idiot.
We're raising a generation of wimps who will never have the intestinal fortitude to fight for our nation.
Liberals are training our "weeping" children to become a bunch of "weeping" girlymen.
I gotta wonder if this is the kind of drivel that's making these "emo" kids so screwed up.
This is satire - right?
I can't believe that anyone would be stupid enough to utter that line about condom distribution to fifth graders in the context of "tag".
God forbid they get whacked in the head with that hard as hell rubber ball in a game of dodge-ball. It increased your awareness a hell of alot better than a video game.
JOHN SEMMENS: Semi-News — A Satirical Look at Recent News
The name alone could inspire an SNL skit.
Where'd you get a picture of my aunt?!
when i went to 1st grade at the country school with no toilets, k-8 grades, total of 20 students.
the two 8th graders started a game called "annie over":
they threw a wooden croquet ball over the school roof. half the kids on one side, half on the other.
some kindergarten kid was looking straight up and got hit in the face.
the school teacher came out and ended the game and nursed the k student.
Are you sure it's not your uncle?
Unfortunately I really have an aunt who looks very close to this.
I'm sure she's a very lovely person.
She is, isn't she? ;-)
Children probably sew half of our clothes, but at this school being 'it' in tag is too much for the poor babies.
It's semi-satire.
Cultural educational psychosis and/or dementia is now legitimized in our institutions at high levels as culturally and educationally superior. Local opposition should be intense. Hope it becomes so.
A humorous hyperbole, as it were.
Kids don't want cooties anymore?
Yup, I guess patting her keister would be off-limits as well.
