Caitlin and I at the World Maker Faire 2011 in New York City.
Image notes may or may not be wonky and adding images is dodgy because it changes the order, so I will annotate with just a list below. Follow along as they are not numbered. Mix and match.
* Opinions expressed may or may not represent the viewpoint of Autodesk, Inc. nor Make
No, that is not Kiteman in front of me. Get your big head out of the way, you dummie.
Randy, Tetranitrate, Eric, random ibles sales person (Lee), Bilal (ex-intern), Christy, caitlinsdad, Caitlin(she fabric painted that robot shirt)
modded wheelchair, don't know if it was part of the accessiblity hacks group or just a burning man art-car
recycled metal parts art
gantry structure for the circus act, artists suspend from ropes and cloth strips to perform in the air.
0h10m1ke, 10,052nd and 10,253rd portrait drawn on cover of a matchbook...look up an interview on him on makezine.com blog. He wants to popularize the word "parp" which was invented by a kid.
Life Size Mouse Trap. Rube Goldberg chain reaction setup with sideshow trappings. As the Brits would say "underwhelming", caus no one can fn see. Peeples in the front, sit down or something, no one in the back can see beyond one or two deep.
Move on up the hill, still don't fn see anything.
Poor guy waiting to demonstrate his trebuchet, everyone was trying to see the Life Size Mouse Trap.
Coke Mentos show stage. Won't be back to watch, can't fn see with the crowd.
Giant swing with water drop curtain. Synchronized to stop when you pass under it.
Electric two seater car of the future. Chevy Volt in the back. Reps are under strict orders from Corporate not to open the display model nor let anyone touch the neato controls. Rules from the Autodesk playbook.
Burning Man art car. Climb aboard...you may have to get the waiver signed at the booths.
Midi controlled drumming and music machines. Must be the perfomance art piece like last year's haircut thing.
Recycled cardboard "green use" tent
Hydroponic garden with recirculating water drop. Plants are in felt pouches with gravel.
Lego FIRST Robotics.
Lego NXT robots and challenge course.
Everyone has a new and improved 3D printer. Pony up 2 or 3 grand.
Randy and the crew. No takers on the clap-off bra. Anyone? Wait....maybe if he put a candy jar near there...and he has a book out.
Dish scrubber brushbot.
Eric from outer space.
Learn how to pick a lock. They may be better served by teaching someone how to get their keys out of a locked car. I believe the guys from 2600 were across the way keeping an eye on them.
They gutted a bunch of tickle-me or dancing Elmos to create an evil empire.
Turtlebot racetrack.
Mobile bamboo bike frame manufacturing truck. One guy was laying up carbon fiber joints.
Steampunk alley. Not really too many running around in costume. Did not spot anyone in kilts this year. I guess I would have been overdressed in my NachoMahma kilt of righteousness.
Solar powered carousel.
Art car with singing fish and lobsters. All wired to do the Singing Bass fish thing at the same time.
Quilt. Didn't see Lion Brand Yarn or the Martha Stewart omniglub crafting craftacular this year. Some more independent makers this year in a dark tent. The knitting club was inside the museum this time.
New York flavor with the suit made from subway transit cards.
Under the rockets at the NY Hall of Science museum.
Art from more recycled plastic.
Spooky animatronics.
Arc Attack stage. Too bad no fashion shows this year. ;.-( Was looking forward to see the Diana Eng fashion show since we missed it last year. Lynne Bruning did not stage a wearable electronics show this year. *sigh* Maybe next year Caitlin will do the catwalk again if there is one.
The hidden display area inside the museum is always the coolest.
Some dude doing poetry with a lady in a light-up dress that muses on the chair.
More falling drops of water that are synchronized for POV effect. The drops spell out letters or something.
Dancing light on wires. The artist said that much has improved since the ible was published on that.
Solar powered sewing machine. Guy embroiders custom patches for you.
Display to demostrate pvc pipe bending heating tool. Make walk-through car-wash by installing sprayheads in the pipe.
So, it was a better layout this year but it seemed to lost some of it's energy since the raucous noise of the jet-ponies and fire breathing stuff was not there. OSHA must have clamped down on them. There were more food vendors but the lines were still long, especially for the one coffee vendor. Movie-theatre prices for a bottle of water. Step outside into the neighborhood to eat. Finding the parking lot is only accomplished with the use of a GPS. Not enough strange folk wandering around this year although the level of geektosterone was pretty high.
Tomorrow we are dragging along two of Caitlin's classmates. It should be fun.
Day 2 images...

I rarely buy food magazines (I already own so many neglected cookbooks), but a few years ago I splurged when a pecan-oatmeal pie sang to me from the cover of the Cooking Light Thanksgiving issue. That pie recipe alone was worth $4.95 (I haven't yet attempted to make it vegan or gluten-free), but the issue included other winners. This Wild Rice and Leek Soup supplanted potato leek soup in my repertoire; I make it five or six times each winter.
Over the years I've altered the recipe slightly, but not so much that I feel justified in reposting it here. Instead of cooking spray, I use a tablespoon of Earth Balance margarine. I substitute vegetable broth for chicken, use whatever potatoes I have on hand, and add a ton of black pepper. When I was vegetarian, I included the 1/4 cup of whipping cream at the end; now I just leave it out. You could substitute soy cream, but all you're adding is fat without flavor, and the soup doesn't need it.
Through this recipe I became familiar with wild rice, which isn't rice at all, but the seed of a water grass species native to the north central United States. Though it is usually combined with other grains in pre-mixed pilaf, the rich, mushroomy flavor and chewy texture of wild rice deserve showcasing on their own. Dried wild rice can be expensive, but it triples in volume when cooked, so a little goes a long way.
Now through Thanksgiving, Maine farmers harvest massive leeks, twice the size of any I've seen in grocery stores. One leek, sliced, gives me almost the three cups called for in this recipe. Earthy, understated thyme is a perfect match for wild rice and sweet, pungent leeks. Use fresh herbs if you have them, but 1 teaspoon of dried thyme works well in this soup.
This recipe for Wild Rice and Leek Soup is one of my all-time favorites; I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Skip to comments.Robert Plant Opens Up About Led Zeppelin Reunion, Failed Follow-Up With Alison Krauss
Posted on 01/07/2011 4:23:33 PM PST by ConservativeStatement
In the new issue of Rolling Stone - on stands and online in the digital archives now (subscription required) Robert Plant explains to writer Stephen Rodrick why he was unwilling to keep performing with Led Zeppelin after their 2007 reunion concert.
(Excerpt) Read more at rollingstone.com ...
thanks for posting this....huge Zeppelin/Plant fan....
my 72 year old mom always gets me Zeppelin books for Christmas with rare photos....was just reading one this morning....
thankfully i saw Zeppelin live, opening night at Madison Square Garden, 6/7/1977...
Here's a hint. They're too freaking old. Plant's voice cannot hold up to the test of time.
I saw Zep six times in the 70's and it was an awesome experience.
While I would hate to see Plant go the way of Rod Stewart (Atlantic City, 4pm so the seniors can see him and he can get to bed by 7) I wouldn't mind seeing plant to contemporary stuff.
As for Page, he did a couple of soundtracks that were decent. To me, he will always be the mystical, drug addled guitarist who played better acoustic than electric.(IMHO)
So Plant's just another cookie-cutter leftwinger? Not surprising but it's too bad he couldn't be more like Bob Dylan or something.
The Wrinkle Ranch is calling****
I was at one of the Zepplin concerts in the Filmore West in San Francisco in 1969. Still the best concert ever.
I ******g hate Jan Wenner and Rolling Stone. Plant sounds pretty down to earth. The royalties they must make from songs played on the radio for the last 30 years must be insane.
Jimmy Page supposedly has a very nice house near one of my offices. He shops at a place a 2 blocks away according to someone I know.
I always though J.P. Jones was the most underrated member.
Wasn't there a movie from that show?
Heres a hint. Theyre too freaking old. Plants voice cannot hold up to the test of time.>>>>>>>>>>
He can pull it off vocally. But visually it is too ridiculous for a 65 year old man with a gray goatee and grayish hair to be jumping around like the 40 year old Robert Plant. Mick Jagger has looked ridiculous for 20 years.
"thankfully i saw Zeppelin live, opening night at Madison Square Garden, 6/7/1977..."
The Song Remains the Same, into Nobody's Fault But Mine. The best was the encore. Half of Whole Lotta Love right into Rock and Roll.
As good as that was, I still think the 1975 tour was better.
Tony Blair is not a good guy and the Catholic Church got no bargain when he and Newt became Catholics. Blair and the Labour Party Islamified the UK during his reign. They pretty much destroyed it. Plant probably has more money then God. They had very catch tunes but were way overrated.
Tell me.
I'm 67 years old. I overheard my visiting sister tell someone when she was here for Christmas that she was suprised at how well Bill(me) was getting around.
I thought Humphh!!
Is that in the US or England?
Bonham was skinny wow. When I saw the reunion pictures in London I thought - who are those really old geezers with John Paul Jones.
US. I can tell you more PM if you want.
Sounds like the last company I worked at - it was in the music biz also - the Founders were stuck to their script and didn't want suggestions for doing anything different than what got them there in the glory days.
Good for Plant.
If they could do let say 15 shows(5 in NY, 5 in Chi. and 5 in LA) spread out over two months that could go a long way to do the final farewell.People would pay whatever the cost of ticket,traveling, etc. At least I and a few of my friends would.
Maybe it's time for him to go country ;-)
I am younger but I know guys who play tournament tennis in their mid and late 70s.
Oh, that is OK. When Page was with the Firm, in the late 80s I guess, I had a friend who visited London and she saw him at a club, got an autograph for me which was a nice surprise.
I worship at the altar of Buddy Miller.
Yeah, I saw them too in April of '77...at the Pontiac Silverdome. General admission was all they had. I managed to get within 20 feet of the stage. Not too bad under the circumstances. However, the crowd was heaving forward, back and side-to-side so much that my friends and I lost sight of each other. Still, it was a great show and I would do it again if I thought I could.
What Tony Blair's religious conversion and work as a peace ambassador has to do with Rock and Roll, then and now, I have no idea!
They don't need the money. Plant obviously is not interested. I recall Roger Waters who really burned the bridges with the rest of Pink Floyd realized he wanted to bring the band back at the Live 8 Reunion.
Gilmour was not interested, Mason probably not and sadly Rick Wright died about a year later. Gilmour had said in one interview that Waters mentally beat on Wright and Mason so much that he destroyed their confidence. They needed a back up drummer and keyboard player early in their tour when they relaunched post-Waters.
Being in one of these bands usually becomes just a business arrangement. A lot of people cannot stand being around the others after a while in some cases.
Love Robert Plant but I'm sorry that he can't belt it out like he used to.
I watched a Biography the other night on the BEE GEES. True talent. There is a lot to be proud of to be able to carry your music from the 60's to the new millennium. Unlike the Stones, they are not pathetic.
Mick Jagger has looked ridiculous for 40 years......
Re: The Stones - Charlie Watts is not pathetic . At least he enjoys his first love jazz now , and has released some excellent jazz albums in recent years .
Could not be much worse than the WHO during the super bowl
no- the movie was from the 1973 gigs at MSG...
I saw that. My hubby watched it twice and called me in to watch it.
I was so touched by the love and respect those brothers had for each other.
I enjoyed them talking about harmony and the lack of it in music now.
I think they carried that harmony into their brotherly relationship too.
I was thinking more along the lines as a last time for the fans thing. Not a lot of traveling for them, spread out the dates to keep down the wear and tear. Let the fans come to them kind of thing.
Buddy and Julie make quite a pair vocally, no?
Don't forget the lines taken/stolen from Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues...
Why do you think they didn't pay royalties?
My friends and I were huge Zep fans until they released "In Through The Out Door," which every one of us hated. It was like Zeppelin Disco.... ungh!
it gets silly to be Led Zeppelin after a while....plant can't do his part anymore and without Jones...they aren't even Led Zeppelin.....or you could even argue that without Bonham they aren't Led Zeppelin.....
The music still holds up, though.
I was listening to Led Zeppelin a few months ago and it was obvious to me that Plant was trying to sound like Janis Joplin at one point on Zep 3.
Charlie Watts always looked like he was showing up for the paycheck but never had much fun. Has he ever smiled?
I agree, but there's something to be said for growing old gracefully. There's a lot of things I can't do at 40, that I could do with ease when I was 20. Plant has to be approaching 60, if he's not there yet. Certainly, the vocals wear down, along with the rest of the body.
Though I can't cite any specific interview, nor can I provide any links, I've followed Zeppelin over the years. From what I've read, the remaining members are content to let their "Stairway to Heaven" days be just that: a thing of the past. Something to bring out and dust off every once in a while, and then put it back on the shelf. Kind of like an old high school yearbook, or the girl you tool to prom. Remember the greatness, but don't try to relive it. (Besides, she's had 4 kids, and now goes 200+ lbs!)
p.s. Sorry, just noticed your login name, and realized that last line may not be appropriate. Your high school crush might now work in Walmart as a stockperson, and weigh 300+ lbs!
actually it was TSRTS into Sick Again then NFBM....
LOL! Yeah I think I have seen that one before. They are singing like hillbillies playing skiffle.
Okay here is Jimmy again in Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow Up starring David Hemmings. Who is the other guitarist destroying his guitar and Vox amp? LOL!
LOL! Jimmy is playing I think a Telecaster which was rare in itself.
I always liked Charlie and he always dressed like a gent. Brain Jones was the most interesting thing about the Stones and Charlie.
Don't know if you're being facetious, but the mellow and thoughtful album he did with bluegrass queen Alison Krauss was really really good.
Was that Jeff Beck smashing up the amp and guitar?

-- practical information for the adventurer, as well as a wealth of photos and extensive background material for the armchair traveller
-- practical travel information on Antarctica's gateway cities in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, the Falkland Islands and Argentina
-- special sections by experts on scientific exploration, environmental issues and private expeditions
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This comprehensive guide to the Antarctic contains essential information for anyone travelling to this, the most arduous and demanding of holiday destinations.Review:
Just looking at the hauntingly sculpted blues, vast horizon-touching Shelves, and towering behemoths of Antarctica's ice formations makes the traveler know why she wants to go there and why she needs a good guidebook. Lonely Planet has once again done its homework. In addition to a thorough and succinct history section, useful overviews of Antarctic tour companies, information about how to plan your trip, detailed maps, and interesting facts about the places you'll visit, this book includes a 32-page color wildlife guide that introduces you to Chinstrap penguins, elephant seals, and eight types of whales.
LP has sought out the experts on Antarctic issues to write about science, environmental, and exploration issues. Shaded boxes offer in-depth highlights about topics such as traveling by zodiac (the small inflatable boats used by tour companies--ideal for cruising among "bergy bits"), Antarctic fiction, glaciology, and icebergs: "The Antarctic ice sheet is the iceberg 'factory' of the Southern Ocean. The total volume of ice calved from the ice sheet each year is about 2300 cubic km, and it has been estimated that there are about 300,000 icebergs in the Southern Ocean at any one time."
This book offers sage advice and is not afraid of the stark and sometimes dangerous realities of traveling to such a harsh and foreboding land: "If you fall overboard, you will die. Although this may not be true in every single case, it is almost certain, for human survival in the -1.8°C water of the Southern Ocean is calculated in minutes. Since drowning is thought by some to be preferable to freezing to death, one bit of only half-cynical advice for those who fall overboard is to swim as hard as you can for the bottom."

Tupelo's City Council moved cautiously ahead Tuesday night with its inquiries about costs and benefits in Mayor Jack Reed Jr.'s proposal to create train-horn quiet zones at most crossings on the BNSF's and Kansas City Southern's routes through town.
The railroad-estimated figure of $250,000 per crossing for crossing arms, lights and bells, plus curb work, is not inexpensive, but no discussion of crossing gates has ever suggested otherwise.
The broader debate is about the value of investment in crossing gates for the quality of life near the rail corridor, where horns are required by law if the federally defined crossing gates aren't in place.
It doesn't require lengthy residency in Tupelo to know that the whole range of train sounds – horns, roaring big diesel engines and the familiar clackity-clack rhythm of coupled cars, is not confined. People living at significant distance from the tracks inside the city limits and beyond know that the train noise is around-the-clock, regardless of traffic density at crossings.
City Council members indicated Tuesday a vote about how to proceed, if at all, would be taken in June before the current term ends in early July.
Reed, Community Development Foundation officer Jon Milstead and Sharpie Smith, an engineer and principal in the firm Smith Seckman Reid, met with the council. Smith told council members he couldn't give an estimate on the total cost of the project, but he said he does not disagree with $250,000 as the cited cost per train crossing at intersections without flashing lights or any other warnings of approaching trains.
Safety as well as quiet remains an issue at railroad crossings nationwide. In the first nine months of 2012, the U.S. recorded 9,936 collisions at crossings with 1,265 fatalities. Almost 4,000 of the collisions happened because a vehicle driver did not stop.
The project would lead to safety arms and flashing lights at each railroad crossing included in the designation, along with upgrading curbs to prevent vehicles from easily bypassing the safeguards, the Daily Journal reported on Wednesday.
The estimated cost would range from $4- to $5 million to complete the project.
The council and Mayor Reed should seek funding sources to offset at least a major portion of the cost to taxpayers. Most of the time taxpayers have been expected to foot costs for crossing safety upgrades.
"Bond is really not a four-letter word to me," Reed said. "I think you have to look at it as a lifetime Tupelo investment."

|Luxilon ALU Power Spin String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
ALU Power Spin is the shaped version of Luxilon's iconic ALU Power, one of the most revered strings of the modern tennis era. For our playtest team this five-sided co-poly had the same phenomenal precision and feel of the round version. It also proved to be quite versatile, in that it managed to keep our biggest shots inside the lines while never feeling dead on shorter strokes or volleys (unlike many of the stiffer, traditional polys). Not surprisingly, ALU Power Spin, with its sharp edges and impressive "snapback," earned a near perfect score for spin. Factor in the ultra-predictable response on fast swings, and you have a recipe for explosive topspin and aggressive targeting. As for the downside, our biggest hitter (Andy) broke this admittedly pricey poly a little quicker than usual. Ultimately, though, for the advanced player who wants exceptional command over the ball along with impressive feel for a poly, ALU Power Spin is one of the best options available.
Neither too dead nor too lively, ALU Power Spin's controllable power and predictable trajectory proved ideal for Andy's strokes. He said, "In my opinion, the round version of this string has almost the perfect power level, and ALU Spin is no different. It packs enough of a punch that I don't feel like I have to slug the ball, but it's low-powered enough that I always feel in control. Compared with other polyesters, it's medium-to-high powered, but never unpredictable."
Brittany also appreciated the very manageable power level, saying, "I was excited to see how Luxilon ALU Power Spin would play in my trusty Yonex VCORE 100 S. I have hit with the standard ALU Power several times throughout the years (mostly in hybrids), and I was excited to try out this shaped version. I found it to have slightly above medium power for a polyester, and I had a little more pop coming off the strings than I expected. However, I would rate this on the lower end of the power spectrum when compared to all string types. This is a control string."
Our team reported huge spin potential with ALU Power Spin. Even our flat ball hitter, Brittany, was able to take advantage of this string's bite. She said, "There is definitely a lot of spin potential with this string. I really enjoyed the bite I was getting on the ball. This helped most on defense, especially when I was on the run. An example would be when I was playing Chris and he hit an approach slice backhand up the line to my forehand. I sprinted toward the ball and took a full out swing (adding a little spin), hitting the ball up the line. Let's just say Chris didn't go for the ball, and the ball dropped in nicely right in front of the baseline."
For Andy, the spin was simply phenomenal. He said, "An already spin-friendly string is taken to the next level by giving it a shaped profile. The string now grabs the ball even more and sends it off with crazy spin. Topspin jumps and slice hugs the court. With the confidence-instilling power level and excellent access to spin, you feel like you can get the ball to do just about whatever you want."
As a firm monofilament, ALU Power Spin is not intended for players who require a soft and forgiving response on off-center hits. However, for an advanced player like Andy, this string felt just fine. He said, "The crisp feel was never a burden on my arm. The ball seems to come off the stringbed with lots of life, and I never felt like I had to swing overly hard to get the ball moving. It's not the softest string around, but I only found it to be uncomfortable at unusually high tensions."
"Having no arm, wrist or elbows issues in my tennis history, comfort for me is sometimes hard to judge," said Brittany. "I'd say it's more comfortable than a lot of polys I have hit with, but there are definitely a couple of polys, like Polyfibre TCS, that are softer. It is definitely a firm string, which was fine by me. I enjoyed the solid feel as I felt I really could connect with the ball."
With its uniquely precise feel and extremely predictable trajectory, ALU Power Spin gave our team outstanding control. Brittany was impressed, saying, "I actually appreciated the large amount of control I received from this string. I was really able to swing out, knowing that my shots would stay in the court because of the spin I could generate. This helped me be more aggressive. I felt very comfortable aiming closer to the lines because I felt my placement was nicely dialed in."
In total agreement with Brittany, Andy said, "Like I previously stated, the medium power level allows for very good control. In addition, the string is very responsive, and I always felt like I had great command over the ball. ALU Power's (in my opinion) unmatched feel for a co-poly gives the string superb control."
Our team had varying opinions on the longevity of ALU Power Spin. For Brittany, this one definitely went the distance. She said, "I thought playability duration was one of this string's strongest characteristics. The longer this string was in my racquet the better I liked it. I playtested the string for more than two weeks, and I still feel like I have many hitting sessions left. For me, I didn't really feel any significant change in control or comfort during the playtest."
"Good, not great," said Andy, whose big strokes were eventually able to wear this string down. "It stood up to the standard two-week test for polys, but then the tension dropped and the string lost playability. Pretty middle of the road here."
Brittany - "I liked the spin, control, and durability that this string offered."
Andy - "Exceptional feel/responsiveness for a polyester string, lots of spin potential and a perfect blend of power and control."
Brittany - "Nothing at all."
Andy - "Not a whole lot. Playability could've lasted longer and durability could've been better, but this is now my favorite poly on the market."
Brittany - "It is most similar to Luxilon ALU Power. It does have a little bit of extra spin built in, but it has very similar feel, control, comfort and durability."
Andy - "This feels very similar to ALU Power Silver, with a little more ball grab and spin potential. It's livelier than Cyclone and RPM Blast but deader than Black Widow or Big Hitter Black 7."

Why the spelling of this smiley/emoticon is wrong?:
The code to insert it is correct with 2 "Ts" but the spelling on the sign is wrong, with only 1 "T".
You have to much time on your hands.
If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

"The suede leather is rich and soft. The hard leather sole is well constructed and seems very durable. It's great to dress it up with slacks or down with jeans. I normally wear US 9.5 but the 8 is a good fit with a little room between the toes and the front. I think that if I wanted a more snug fit, I could go down to 7.5."

In investing, boring is often best. But there are cases where it isn't — like when seemingly every investor wants staid and secure.
Utility and telecom stocks showed it during 2013 when they sold off sharply due to investors' interest-rate fears. The trend looks bigger than one bout of rate worries to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's quantitative strategists.
The love for boring investments has gotten to the point where the most staid parts of the S&P 500 have "quietly become riskier than they appear," the group writes in a Monday note.
The firm looked at the relative valuations of so-called "low beta" stocks in the S&P 500 versus the index's riskiest stuff ("high beta").
The result: These seemingly staid stocks now trade at the biggest premium versus "high beta" stocks in over a decade.
From BofA's Savita Subramanian, Dan Suzuki, Alex Makedon and Jill Carey:
Many of these stocks offered high dividend yields as well as perceived "safety", but we think the low beta bubble is on the verge of deflating. Due to low beta stocks' strong performance in an up market, these stocks have quietly become riskier than they appear: a simple analysis of the 1-yr vs. 5-year beta shows that Telecom and Utilities have seen the largest increase in their betas, while Financials and Materials have seen the biggest decrease.
It's something to keep in mind if you own funds whose raison d'être is to be a kinder, gentler sort of stock fund: PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV), or sector funds for reputedly staid areas such as Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU).
Since the start of the new year, investors have treated the low-volatility ETF and PowerShares S&P 500 High Beta Portfolio (SPHB) about the same, sending each to a loss a little over 1%.

Since the N.J. Department of Education (NJDOE) began a major overhaul of education code last fall, NJEA has been a constant presence at testimony sessions before members of the State Board of Education (SBOE).
At the December SBOE meeting, NJEA Associate Director of Government Relations Francine Pfeffer testified on both the proposed amendments to the school district operations code and the educator effectiveness regulations.
Of particular concern to the Association is the NJDOE's plan to remove language regarding full-time employment of teachers. Currently, the code sets minimum standards, both for the length of a teacher's day and his or her lunch period and should remain in the code. "The regulatory language does more than just provide teachers with a duty-free lunch," Pfeffer stated. "It also provides a reasonable framework for districts to use to schedule lunch periods for both staff and students."
For the first time, the department is recommending a maximum class size for kindergarten. Unfortunately, the cap will be 25. "NJEA believes that kindergarten class size should limited to 15 students to ensure high quality instruction," advanced Pfeffer.
With regard to educator effectiveness, Pfeffer reiterated NJEA's objection that the teachers in charter schools will not be subject to the state's new teacher evaluation system.
Pfeffer repeated NJEA's belief that language referring to training requirements for teacher evaluation be more specific to ensure that training is "rigorous and comprehensive." She again encouraged the board and the department to allow districts to bargain an alternate approach to evaluation for tenured teachers who are rated "effective" or "highly effective" in two consecutive years. "This would relieve principals of conducting some observations of successful teachers, yet help to continue strengthening teaching and learning."
Finally, Pfeffer reiterated NJEA's concern about the extent to which student test scores will be used in teacher evaluation. "Research shows that placing undue emphasis on standardized assessment results is unfair to both teachers and students.

Bennet House- A Study House in CulrossDates:Mon 5 Sep - Thu 1 Jun Location:Royal Burgh of Culross Details View all events at this location
Bennet House has sat unoccupied for around 20 years and the damaging effects of Scottish weather, combined with a lack of regular maintenance, have taken their toll on the building. Slipped and missing tiles, vegetation growth, water penetration, decaying wood and broken windows together with structural problems mean that the Bennet House is an a sorry state. In common with many important old buildings across Scotland this Building at Risk needs considerable investment of time, money and skill to bring it back to a condition where it can be occupied and used once more.Fortunately the Little Houses Improvement Scheme, NTS' in-house building preservation trust, was able to purchase Bennet House in order to safeguard its future. The National Trust for Scotland and the LHIS have played a key role in the conservation of the historic burgh of Culross since the 1930s and Bennet House provides a wonderful opportunity to revisit the activities of this period through the restoration of another little house in the heart of the burgh. The idea behind our Study House project is to integrate this building restoration work with the visitor experience at The Palace, providing the opportunity for visitors to see and take part in "Conservation in Action". From preliminary research to project completion the public will be invited to participate in a number of workshops on topics spanning the investigation of the structure through buildings archaeology to more practical activities such as repointing in lime and the repair of traditional sash and case windows. It is our aim that the Study House is delivered as a model for conservation in the community, and that Bennet House is given a viable new use which will ensure its preservation for future generations.

Power chords are the basis of some of the best heavy metal and punk rock music. They are a great way to construct the rhythm of a powerful song. To construct a power chord, you put your pointer finger down on the root note, and your ring finger seven steps higher. You can also put your pinky finger on the next string up, at the same fret as your ring finger. This setup will allow you to play three notes at once. Another way to hit all three notes is to place your ring finger over the second two strings instead of using your pinky.
Mixing power chords with lead guitar is a great way to create a diverse song with a strong sense of variety. Throw on some heavy distortion, and you can create some strong sounds that go great with some progressive soloing on top.
Play around with some power chord combinations and feel free to post your guitar riffs as comments on this blog.

"I love the platform sneakers but they really hurt my feet so I looked for some flat fashionable sneakers and I found them in this Guess pair. I really like them, they are cute, conformable. I would have given them a 5 star but the arch sits a little funny in the shoes. My feel felt great after wearing them all weekend."

Barley Grass (Hordeum vulgare)Latin Name: Hordeum vulgare
Common Names: Barley Grass, Barleygrass
Barley Grass is highly regarded by those who use bulk organic herbs and a supply of dried barley grass is considered one of the staples of a well stocked herbalist's cabinet. A common, but highly beneficial cereal grass, Hordeum vulgare is valued by many herbalists to be one of the best quality bulk herbs for many complaints.
Barley Grass and similar plants such as wheat grass have the interesting characteristic that although classified as a grain, they are more like vegetables when first sprouting. At this stage of its development, Hordeum vulgare is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Dried Barley Grass Powder can be taken in capsules or in pill form; herbs such as this are also made into healthful juices.
Hordeum vulgare and wheat grass are nearly identical; the one difference is that as dried herbs, the former is more effective as an anti-oxidant, acting as a "free radical harvester."
Barley Grass may also be effective as an analgesic; such organic herbs as this and wheat grass also seem to have anti-inflammatory properties. Sprouted from Barley Grass Seeds and consumed fresh this natural herb contains additional enzymes. These bulk herbs are known to contain many B Vitamins as well as valuable nutrients such as beta carotene, folic acid and calcium.

Dear Editor,
One must wonder where all the money is going to come from for our national emergency assistance in times of domestic devastation such as wreaked by the two recent hurricanes in the South.
On a daily basis, our political friends would like us to believe the main dollar drain comes from maintaining programs such as military retiree benefits and VA expenditures, and that we need to cut medicare and medicaid and other needy programs as well when, in fact, most of these programs are but a pittance in Congressional spending.
What we really need to do in order to insure a quality national existence and meet our immediate emergency needs is to get our Congressional members out of the hog trough by eliminating unnecessary pork and stop giving needless billions to nations that hate us.
This action alone would insure our financial independence and freedom far into the future while not detracting from needy friends both at home and abroad.

Christmas came early! Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes gets a little crazy for the LOVE Magazine advent 2011 calendar in this highly amusing video. Amidst the cheeky festivity and flirty-filthy behavior, she's wearing denim shorts and attempting to sing a song that even moderately skilled karaoke die-hards shy away from until they've had a few rounds of the hard stuff. You can see the full calendar at the LOVE Magazine site, where you'll uncover videos of Lindsey Wixson singing Jingle Bells, Emily Weiss as rudolph (in denim-on-denim), Alessandra Ambrosio stripping out of white cut-offs, and more!

Visiting the Interior
When reading travel literature about Panama you will often come across a the slightly ambiguous term "the interior". The interior of course simple refers to the interior of Panama, the countryside, consisting of the provinces of Veraguas, Los Santos, Herrera, and Cocle.
These regions are often skipped over by visitors who head straight to Bocas or Boquete, however, when you miss the interior you're missing the heart of Panama. The interior holds the key to much of the history and culture of Panama and is the location of some amazing yearly festivals not to mention the infamous Carnaval celebrations. To see if there are any events during your time in Panama go here.
We cannot display this gallery
What to See:
Now because we're talking about various provinces you can pick and choose how to arrange your trip; were to go and what to skip. However these are a few of the sites that should be part of your itinerary listed by town.
Santa Catalina, Veraguas region. 5 hours from the city Home of the National Park Coiba great for diving and snorkeling . Santa Catalina offers great surfing, hotel and hostels at affordable prices. You can go straight from the city to Santiago /Sona and then on to Santa Catalina
Penonome (El Cope)
Omar Torrijos National Park
Iglesia de Santo Domingo de Guzmán
Museo de Arte Religioso Colonial
Sarigua National Park
Casa Mueso Manuel F Zarate (994-5644) – polleras, mascaras
Las Tablas
Iglesia de Santa Librada
Isla Iguana
Refugio de Vida Silvestre Cenegon de Mangle (Cenegon de Mangle Wildlife Refuge)
Los Santos
Museo de la Nacionalidad
Sitio Arqueológico Cerro Juan Diaz (cementerios precolombianos)
Isla Las Cañas
Getting Here:
As of now the only way to arrive to these provinces is by land. Previously last year Aeroperlas Airlines was offering weekly flights to Pedasi but has since canceled them until further notice. Truthfully though we highly recommend arriving by land, especially by rental car, it allows a certain freedom during your travels and you can enjoy the changing landscapes as you drive through the country. However you want to permit yourself an itinerary of 8-10 days so you're not feeling rushed.
By Car:
You can rent a car at the nearby Albrook Airport. We always recommend booking online ahead of time as to ensure the availability of the car and a better rate. For most places mentioned in this post a standard economy sized car is fine except where mentioned. Make sure that you have a decent map on hand, for the most part you will stay on the Interamerican Highway but you keep in mind that road signs are not common in Panama. The drive is about 3-4 hours.
By Bus:
For those who prefer not to drive you can take public transport, there are direct buses to Chitre, Los Santos, and Las Tablas. To get to Pedasi you can take a minibus for $2 or a taxi for $25-$30. The buses that go to the interior have comfortable seating. However we always stress bringing a jacket with you inside the bus and perhaps some headphones because most likely the driver will be playing music at slightly deafening volumes. The bus drive to this region is about 4-5 hours.
Where to Stay
This list comes from our personal experiences and those of our guests. Also if you're planning this trip be sure to check in with the various hotels about your itinerary since they can give you the most current information on local events and sights.
Posada Cerro La Vieja (Chiguri Arriba-Penonome) – A beautiful eco-resort in the mountains with accessible rates.
Hostal La Qhia (Santa Fe)- A charming guest house with private rooms.
Posada del Mar (Las Tablas) – A small B&B on the beach run by a Canadian/Panamanian couple.
Casita Margarita (Pedasi)- #1 B&B in the area with a very helpful staff.

Conservation Science Training Center in Ohio Constructed with Support from USDA
By Michael Jones, Rural Development Public Affairs Director
On June 8, 2010, Ohio State Rural Development Director Tony Logan joined other funding partners and representatives from The Wilds for a ribbon cutting ceremony, celebrating the official opening of the Conservation Science Training Center (CSTC). Rural Development awarded $30,000 from its Community Facilities Grant Program to help fund the facility's construction. The CSTC is a 3,600 square foot facility built to further the Wilds' conservation and educational mission.
The CSTC will provide meeting, classroom, laboratory space and cabins to be used for extended stays by national and international visiting research teams. Constructed directly into a natural hillside, the facility incorporates geothermal heating and cooling, natural lighting, and other green-identified technologies. Nestled on nearly 10,000 acres dedicated to conservation research and education, the Wilds' current research activities include: prairie biomass and carbon sequestration initiatives, grassland bird research and biodiversity surveys, prairie restoration and more.
Bringing the CSTC on line will expand the ability of The Wilds to provide additional support and opportunities for professors, teachers, students and visitors to investigate the ecological systems and wildlife health in Ohio's Appalachian region. Funding partners included: the USDA Rural Development, American Electric Power Foundation, the Appalachian Regional Commission, Governor's Office of Appalachia and Hocking College.

This project is an installation comprised of thousands of unique video diaries gathered from the Internet by Chicago-based artist, Christopher Baker, whose works engage technology and its influence on our daily lives. The work uses a multi-channel audio-visual soundscape to examine how media tools like YouTube provide a democratic and participatory platform that is accessible and yet, struggle to emotionally connect individuals and the public.

Store > Shop By Category > Sports Drinks > Hammer Nutrition > Hammer Recoverite Packets, 6-pack
Athletic performance improvement depends on a program of exercise to stimulate muscular and cardiovascular adaptation followed by a recovery period in which the body rebuilds itself slightly more fit than before. Thus, the real gain of exercise occurs during recovery, but only in the presence of adequate rest and optimal nutritional support. Carbohydrate and protein replenishment, as soon as possible upon completion of the workout, helps you to get the very most out of every minute you've put into training. That's where Recoverite comes in, providing unsurpassed nutritional support to ensure you obtain the maximum value from your workouts and complete recovery after each training session and race.
Recoverite supplies carbohydrates and protein in an ideal 3:1 ratio for superior glycogen synthesis and muscle tissue rebuilding, the two main components of recovery. For carbohydrate, Recoverite contains only maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate with a high glycemic index, to ensure rapid metabolism. Unlike most recovery products that contain simple sugars, maltodextrin provides a large volume of easily digested and rapidly assimilated carbohydrate, vital for preventing stomach distress and promoting full, efficient restoration of muscle glycogen.
Regarding protein, Recoverite contains only whey protein isolate, which is virtually fat and lactose free, and yields the highest percentage of protein. For rebuilding lean muscle tissue and immune system support, whey protein isolate has no peer; it's simply the purest form of whey protein available. In addition, each serving of Recoverite also contains a potent, recovery-boosting three grams of l-glutamine.
Recoverite supplies other recovery-enhancing nutrients such as Chromemate brand chromium polynicotinate (for maximizing muscle glycogen synthesis) and l-carnosine, a powerful antioxidant and potential anti-aging nutrient. Recoverite also contains a full-spectrum electrolyte profile, which helps replenish depleted essential minerals.
What Recoverite does not contain are inconsequential amounts of vitamins and minerals, commonly found in other formulas. They look good on a label, but have little physiological value. Vitamins and minerals are indeed important in recovery, but in amounts best fulfilled from Premium Insurance Caps, a potent, complete vitamin/mineral supplement.
Recoverite is also completely free of any artificial flavorings and colorings, added sweeteners, or anything else not directly related to the recovery process.
How well you recover today will largely determine your performance tomorrow. When you put as much effort into the recovery process as you do for active training, you're way ahead of the game and you will no doubt enjoy improved performance. Along with adequate rest, it's vitally important to refuel your body as soon as possible after every training session and race. Using Recoverite, you can be assured that you're giving your body exactly what it needs. Recoverite is the right product with the right formula to provide your body with the right amounts of the right nutrients, ensuring rapid and complete recovery from all your workouts and races.

More bronze than pewter...
"Great purse, but I bought to go with some silver/pewter shoes I have. Got the bag & it's more bronze. It's still a nice bag and I do like it, but the metallic has a brown undertone instead of gray, so it doesn't match the shoes! I don't plan to return - I still like it a lot."

The hero of A Simple Murder, by Eleanor Kuhns, is Will Rees, a traveling weaver whose son runs away and joins the Shakers. When Will catches up, he uses his gift for untangling threads to solve a string of murders. Although I doubt anyone in 1795 would describe a man as being "in sheriff mode," I got caught up in the story and didn't guess the murderer until the climax.
In Wonder Show, by Hannah Barnaby, it's a father who runs away. His daughter, Portia, joins a traveling carnival's freak show. Barnaby, who lives in Connecticut, has a gift for vivid analogy; she compares a tube of lipstick to a shotgun shell, and describes fall as the time when "the carnival breaks apart like mercury."
I've been an Ernest Hebert fan for more than 30 years. Never Back Down, an achingly truthful novel, is the saga of Jack Landry of Keene, New Hampshire, whose father came home from World War II and sat silently in the living room for six months. Like all of Hebert's books, it celebrates people who work with their hands. "I saw the thick, rough hands of a woodsman," Jack says of his own. "I saw the raw hands of the laundry man, the dishwasher, and the custodian. I saw the skilled hands of the telephone man making a connection … I saw the careful hands of a careful cab driver."
Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo, who lives in Maine and Boston, joins his daughter, artist Kate Russo, in another tribute to the work of hands. Interventions comprises four of his short works, plus color prints of four of her paintings, individually bound and gathered in a slipcase. My favorite is about an elderly nun in a college fiction class who writes about her life as a prostitute's daughter raised in a convent. Another student complains that she feels cheated by the absence of a father in the story: "Sister Ursula dutifully noted this criticism, but you had only to look at the old woman to know that the father was never going to show up. Anybody who felt cheated by this could just join the club."

- Physically gifted
- Quick off the ball
- Versatile (3-4 DE, 4-3 DE or UT)
- Good against the run, upside rushing the passer
- Length
- Work ethic questions
- Inconsistent motor
- Technique moving to a 5-tech
My Thoughts:
Probably best suited for a 4-3 system where he can line up as a DE or UT, but he's physically and athletically gifted enough to make a transition to the 3-4. He'll have to learn to use more leverage and his hands better. Technique is pretty much the biggest question for him, he's a tall guy so if he comes out of his stance too high, he can be dislodged which has a much bigger downfall in a 3-4 scheme.
Played more UT for UNC as a Junior and was more productive, which showed he could expose single coverage against lesser talent at C/OG in college. When he moved to DE, he saw more double teams and it slowed down his production a bit. He doesn't have a wide variety of pass rushing moves, but he has the athletic gifts to learn some.
I think ideally the Jets look at him as someone who eventually will be able to play 3 positions, DE and OLB in a 3-4... and UT when we go with 4 down linemen. Something Rex really tends to like in his players. Upside is immensely high, and the downside isn't as low as some people think because he will be taught to play as an end in the 3-4 at first.
Upside: Pro-bowl player who can be moved all over the front 7 to cause havoc.
Downside: Space eater (which are always rostered for a 3-4)
Final Grade: B. Would of preferred a true pass rushing threat off the edge. But the glamour of Coples upside and versatility was too much for the Jets to pass up. I don't hate the pick, especially if we find value at our biggest needs later in the draft.
EDIT: If you compare him to Gholston in my thread, I will delete the post.

Hello there TheFolenAngel, or should I say Razor1991 or SexyLady on IRC?
We here at mangashare are fed up with your pathetic attempts to earn money on other people's releases. You are using Franky House to get money from MegaUpload, you have impersonated other scanlators of scanlation groups to get Scanlator status here on mangashare so that your releases would automatically get approved on our release tracker. You have made lies about support for scanlation groups to earn cash and that by submitting releases of other groups. You have claimed to be part of groups which you were not.
We have endured long enough of your stupid jokes to earn cash. And each time you would come back after a ban with some stupid trick of your own to mask yourself under another IP adress or you would just come back through one of your dynamic IP's.
We warn any scanlator or scanlation group out there to watch out for her and her tricks.
Here's an older announcement of what she did: http://mangashare.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7736
Whatever the reason may be for you to do this we DO NOT accept this and we will keep fighting pest like you to keep our tracker clean.

A Weekend of Competitions!Written by Shawn
Are you a Triathlete? Then we have the perfect weekend for you. This weekend Bear Creek will be hosting two separate Triathlons. Saturday July 21 is our Bald Bear Triathlon, this Triathlon will begin with an early morning .25 mile swim in our large pond, and once you complete the swim you will transition into your riding gear and prepare for the 16.2 mile loop on some local rural roads. Don't be fooled by the short distance, this course has long steep climbs that will leave you searching for the finish. But along with these steep climbs are long twisty down hills to help you get your breath back. Once you return to Bear Creek, you will be facing a 2.2 mile run on paved and gravel trails around the resort. Don't be mistaken by the shorter distances, you will be relieved when you are finally finished.
If you are not into road cycling but really enjoy getting dirty on your mountain bike you should check out the Xterra Dirty Grizzly on Sunday, July 22. This Triathlon will begin with a .5 mile swim in our large pond, moving into the transition area to get ready for an incredible mountain bike ride. The mountain bike course is a 10 mile loop though Bear Creeks super technical, twisty single track. By the time you arrive back to the transition area, you will think that you can't move on. But now it's time to get ready for a 3.2 mile trail run throughout more of Bear Creek's single track and gravel roads.
Do you think you have what it takes to compete? If not come out as a spectator, and begin planning your training for next year's triathlons.
As The Cheese Rolls...Written by Shawn
ATTENTION ALL CHEESE LOVERS!! Well, more like cheese enthusiasts. Coming, August 19 during our Cheese, Garlic & Summer Mountain Festival, the rolling of the cheese will take place at Bear Creek for a second year. You might be asking what is a cheese rolling? Lucky for you, I have an answer. Atop a hill, the cheese keeper will toss a wheel of cheese towards the bottom and competitors will race after it. The first competitor to catch the cheese and cross the finish line at the end of the hill will win the cheese. The rolling takes place on the bank above the big pond and WILL end in a splash. Unless you can be the lucky person who catches the cheese and doesn't end up in the pond!
You also might be wondering, why on earth would I want to do something like this? Well, my only response to you is that it's super cool. Check out a short video from last year's rolling. The cheese rolling is the second video, remember that this was from last year's event and that this year's rolling is planned for August 19.
Still interested?Anyone who is 18 or older may participate. To race, you must purchase a ticket to the Cheese, Garlic & Summer Mountain Festival. They are only $8 per person. All contestants will have to sign a liability release. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event at the resort or online at bcmountainresort.com.
Now that I've talked you into it. Let me fill you in on the history of the cheese rolling. No, we didn't invent the event. Cheese rolling has actually has been taking place for several years in Europe. (Leave it to the Europeans to come up with all of the fun activities: Cheese Rolling, Tough Guy etc.) The cheese rolling at Cooper's Hill takes place each year in June. This year they celebrated the Diamond Jubilee Cheese Rolling in honor of the Queen. Check out their website, linked above. There are several video links and lots of info. Their event is pretty cool.
Have a great Monday!
