Welcome to the summer term in The Foundation Stage!
This term our topic is Jack and the Beanstalk!!!
We have really enjoyed reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and had lots of fun acting out the different parts. Next week, we will begin planting our own plants including sunflowers, beans and cress. We will be talking about what plants need to grow and survive. At the end of this half term the children will be able to take their plants home to look after them over half term. We are looking forward to finding out who's sunflower grows the tallest!!!!
Have you visited our fantastic supermarket?
The children have been super helpers, creating our supermarket role play area. We have labelled all of the food with price tags and been learning how to count money to pay for the items we want to buy. Everybody has enjoyed writing their own shopping lists! In the next few weeks we will be sending Blu Bear home with each child, we are hoping to see how many supermarkets he visits with you!!!
Please remember to read with your child everyday at home!!!

"Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child's experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up."

Can it be the first day of summer already? Seriously, where does the time go so fast??!! But I love summer....I love the sunshine, the warmth, swimming, flip-flops, not having to wear heavy layers of clothing. It's a season of being outdoors and enjoying nature.
Last week we had a surprise visit from Colin. He's such a turkey and didn't let us know he was coming. I got a message from him with pics of our building and so I ran out on the balcony and there he was!! We had a few very nice days with him.

- For other uses, see Lynx.
The RIS Lyncis was a 23rd century Romulan Star Empire starship, a Snipe-class frigate in Romulan Star Empire service in the 2280s. While the Lyncis was initially outfitted as a type-A frigate (SNA), it was easily modifiable into a rear-fire frigate (SNAR), battle frigate (SNB), police frigate (SNP) or an advanced police frigate (SNP+). (TOS video game: Starfleet Command)
- No history or fate is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a frigate vessel by the game software. The specific type of frigate was also dependent on random factors in parts of the game.

If you were still recovering from pumpkin pie yesterday and didn't do Black Friday, today is another good day to get some holiday shopping done.
The first ever Small Business Saturday doesn't promise the huge discounts of Friday, but it hopes to help independently-owned businesses get through this tough economy.
Small Business Saturday's official website lists a few good reasons to shop locally today:
- For every $100 spent locally, $68 goes back into the community.
- Small businesses employ half of all private sector employees
- For every year over the last decade, 60-80 percent of new jobs were generated by small businesses
- Small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms
So try to avoid getting lost at Fry's today and instead check out that mom and pop shop down the street.
Or you could just have some leftovers, use the old "tryptophan in the turkey drugged me" excuse and wait for Cyber Monday.

By now you're probably aware of the benefits of humidifiers, which provide additional humidity and moisture in your home, but you may not be as aware of the importance of dehumidifiers. A dehumidifier reduces the levels of moisture and humidity within your home. An excess of humid air in your home can results in the growth of mold or mildew, which can negatively impact your health. A quality dehumidifier can help regulate humidity in your residence, providing both comfort and preventing health risks.
At Filters Fast, we currently offer the GeneralAire 1300 Whole House Dehumidifier. This whole house dehumidifier is versatile enough to fit into any home and includes optional wall-mount control. This unit operates by drawing in the moistness from your indoor air through its inlet duct and then passes that air to its filter, which reduces airborne contaminants. The filtered air and moisture is then passed out of the unit through a drain hose.
This GeneralAire dehumidifier offers quiet operation, so that you can rest comfortably in your home while excess moisture is carried away. This unit is also energy efficient, saving you money on energy costs. GeneralAire dehumidifiers also offer optional wall-mounted control, an automatic defrost system, and a nylon mesh filter for reducing airborne particulates that can be re-cleaned and re-used.
If your home suffers from an excess of moisture, then look into a dehumidifier which can help alleviate the symptoms caused by too much humidity.

We've been covering director Gareth Evans's insane Indonesian action movie The Raid (retitled The Raid: Redemption for US audiences) for quite a while now. The film comes with a ton of buzz, and Matt caught it at Sundance and recommends it without hesitation. The martial arts-heavy pic centers on 20 elite SWAT team members must make their way up the treacherous floors of a criminal-infested highrise in order to get to the gang's leader. We brought you the first US trailer a few days ago, the final poster yesterday, and now an extensive 13 minute "Making-of" featurette for the film has gone online. It highlights how Evans brought the film to life, choreographing the crazy fight scenes, how they sent the cast to boot camp, the mixture of practical and CG effects, and so much more.
Hit the jump to watch. If you missed it, be sure to check out Steve's interview with Evans where he talks about the planned The Raid trilogy. The Raid: Redemption opens on March 23rd.

(This article was sponsored by General Motors.)
Harley Earl had a large idea. As a member of General Motors' Styling Section – a part of the company that became the "Camouflage and War Service Section" in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor – he was a man interested in colors and contours. As the nation was mobilizing for war, Earl went to Ottawa to talk with friends in the Royal Canadian Air Force, whose men had fought for two years over the battlefields.
"You've got pilots coming back here for a rest after the African campaign, haven't you?" he asked. "Would you mind letting them come down if we paid the expense, and let them lecture to us in our auditorium? I'm going to start a camouflage school, and I want to find out some things."
The Canadian pilots came and told what they could about the way the enemy disguised his towns and building and airfields. The bits and pieces of dependable information in American channels were assembled. Locks were changed on the doors and the Section started headlong into studies of camouflage, with designer Robert Bingman in charge.
It was an ambitious, all but unprecedented undertaking. The Research Building auditorium, accustomed to housing sleek new automobile designs, was ruthlessly made over inside of a month into what seemed to be an enormous hodgepodge of miniature terrain models, of cities and roofs and fields – and stepladders.
Modelmakers used their experience with scale-size automobiles to build duplicates of GM plants and 3D airviews of large metropolitan centers. Then other teams came in to experiment with ways to disguise those replicas of cities and country sides. Colored cloth was used, paint effects, blending of backgrounds, all the techniques that were known and some that hadn't been imaged before – like a structure that looked like a floating island, intended to conceal a ship.
That was where the stepladders came in. Once a camouflage effect was developed, the innovators could climb the ladders and look through reducing glasses that gave the mock terrain the size and appearance it would have from altitudes as high as 20,000 feet.
It was evident from the earliest phases of the mobilization that the machines of war would require accoutrements that the Section was eminently qualified to produce. Up and down the line, engineering shops to training schools to battlefield maintenance, there came calls for exploded drawings of mechanisms of all sorts; and Styling was a past master in visual demonstration. Artists, engineers, others were assigned to the task of turning complex pieces of equipment into understandable diagrams on printed pages. Wood and metal workers went to fabricating cutaway of such pieces.
Confidential and secret items passed across the desks of Section employees. GM folks knew of advanced bomb sights before many Air Corps officers did; they worked on them while they were still whispers in high places. They handled guns of all kinds, timing devices, control mechanism along with prosaic items like truck carburetors.
Designers, meanwhile, were focused on vehicular weapons. The imaginations that had served so well on civilian automobiles were turned loose on armament. Sketches began to flow from artists pencils.
The shining example, and a great credit to the Section, was the Wildcat tank destroyer. It came from the drawing board of Art Ross, later to head the Cadillac design studio. Ordnance was fascinated with the look of the Wildcat, the way its turret could be swung and the vertical traverse of the gun. That Wildcat was ordered into production; Buick built thousand of them as the war progressed.
There came a small echo months later of the Styling Section's success in creating the Wildcat idea. The first tank destroyers of that type went to Camp Hood, Texas, for training under Major General Andrew D. Bruce. A call came to Harley Earl from an aide to the General. "We have the Wildcat you fellows designed," he said. "Now we'd like an armband for an outfit like ours whose mission is to use it to crush the tank."
So in addition to all the other work it was doing for the war effort, the Section designed the official patch for the tank destroyer troops – a panther crushing a tank in its mouth.

group psychotherapy
group psychotherapy, a means of changing behavior and emotional patterns, based on the premise that much of human behavior and feeling involves the individual's adaptation and response to other people. It is a process carried out in formally organized groups of three or more individuals who seek change, whether their problem is alcoholism, overeating, or poor social skills. The composition of a group may be heterogenous or homogeneous with reference to the age of the members or the type of problem. The therapist may be directive or nondirective, allowing the group to set their own agenda for discussion. The group becomes a
sampleof the outside world, reproducing conditions of interpersonal relationships; its members jointly participate in observing personal motivation and styles of interaction. They also participate in attempting new behaviors and dealing with the consequences of such behaviors, with the intended result that they will eventually be able to employ these behavior patterns outside the group. In observing the totality of the events that take place in group therapy, the process by which elements of personality are developed in each member is also studied.

Ascent of Bonneville Peak on 2006-08-24
Dennis Poulin
Thursday, August 24, 2006
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Bonneville Peak
9271 ft / 2825 m
Ascent Trip Report
I was on an extended hiking vacation in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming in August 2006. I partnered up with SPer Dean and we co-completed the County Highpoints of Utah on August 22nd on Gilbert Peak in Summit County. After that highlight we turned for home and headed west. We still had some hiking to do, so we headed to southeast Idaho and Bannock County.
Fortunately, Dean has a good friend who lives at the base of Bonneville Peak near the town of Inkom. We drove into his driveway at dusk on August 23rd and spent the next few hours socializing before I headed to bed. I needed some sleep because I intended to climb Bonneville Peak early the next morning. Dean climbed it a couple of years earlier, so he was going to sleep in and get some home cooking for breakfast.
Early the next morning, I drove up the access road to the Pebble Creek ski area on Bonneville Peak. Elevation here is about 6,680 ft. There was no activity at the ski area early in the morning, so I parked, put on my pack and boots and headed up hill.
I didn't follow the gravel road that zig zags up beneath the ski lifts. Instead, I just headed straight up between the two lifts. It looked kind of woodsy to the left and more open to the right, so I traversed to my right as I climbed and soon I passed under the right hand short ski lift and moved even further to my right. The walking was easy through mostly tall grass. I was making great progress up the hill. There was an out-of-bounds fence to my right and I followed that up. I crossed over the gravel road a couple of times, but I continued cross country.
At about 7,800ft I reached the top of the short ski lift and stumbled on the gravel road again. This time I stayed on the road and followed it up to the top of the taller upper ski lift. Elevation here is about 8,300 ft. I made incredible time for me in climbing this far, because it took just over an hour to get this far.
At the upper ski lift terminus there is a ski patrol shack. I went around behind this shack and climbed the ridge right there. It is pretty wooded and brushy around here and I was looking for a climber's use trail. I found it behind this shack. The path is steep, but easy to follow as it made good progress up towards the summit ridge. The path led easily through a small rock band at about 8,800 ft and then reached the summit ridge at about 9,100 ft. I was still about ½ mile from the summit because I came up the ridge way to the north of the highpoint.
It was easy to walk along the ridge to the summit and I reached it just over 1 ½ hours after I started. The climb has about 2,600 ft of elevation gain and is about 5 miles round trip. If you follow the road the entire distance, it will be a considerably longer hike. I went down the same way I came up and surprised Dean by arriving back at his friend's home much earlier than we planned.

Yesterday's results
An infusion of pinstriped love somehow seeped into the computers of the BTS field yesterday, as 11 of the Top 13 contestants picked either Derek Jeter or Robinson Cano.
Cano was the choice of front-runner phadrus74, who extended his streak to 41 games following a 2-for-5 effort from the Yankees second baseman. DoctorPeteRose also went with Robbie to remain in a tie for third place, at 34 games.
On the other side of second base, Jeter delivered just enough (1-for-5) to help out those who were relying on him. tshalterman moved up to 36 games to hold onto second place, thebcjman remained in a tie for third and chuppie21 held onto his share of fifth, at 33 games.
The lone member of the Top 5 to look outside New York, roxandrays17, went with Rays speedster Carl Crawford (1-for-4) to finish the day with a 33-game mark.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Derek Jeter (NYY): 11.7%, 1-for-5
2. Brad Hawpe (COL): 7.6%, 1-for-4
3. Robinson Cano (NYY): 7.6%, 2-for-5
4. Ichiro Suzuki (SEA): 5.9%, 2-for-4
5. Joey Votto (CIN): 4.3%, 1-for-2

I'm sure there was a huge sigh of relief after Jeter's 5th at bat.
DoctorPeteRose – your old name was hilarious!!!!!!!
hehe, thanks…apparently someone at MLB didn't think so, but I get it.
21 of the 62 that still had a chance for 57 went down with Pujols today.
The BTS gods "giveth and taketh away" Jeter bats twice in the 9th inning on Wed and gets a hit in his final at bat to save a lot of players. But – Thursday, what "appeared" to be a slam dunk pick, Albert Pujols, has an 0 – fer and this backfired on many top players.
A big dragbunt thank you and a double tip of my Cub hat to bts player who pointed out the error picking Pujols today and hammanm, whose 43 game hit streak earlier this season makes him a superior source of info. Hammanm had a well researched choice of Grady Sizemore who got a hit on Thursday. I did switch from Pujols to Sizemore and my streak continues.
It is great to see hammanm and bts player making the effort to put out good info on the blog for all to see and make use of the info when choosing each day.
Observations: I stay away from Bronson Arroyo games as he can look good one day and be terrible the next day.
Also, stay away from the Cub Team, the whole team is in a slump.
I'm looking at Ichirio v. Vin Mazzaro for Friday.
Ichirio has never faced Mazzaro(R) who gives up alot of hits.
Game is in Oakland though. Ichirio seems to be back to his old self with 4 – 8 the past two days.
Cards seem to beat up the Pirates badly – Schumaker v. ex-Cub Kevin Hart(R) at PITT also looks promising. Schumaker hits righties well and is batting .347 over last 30 days.
Lefties are batting .333 v. Hart and Hart's ERA for past 30 days is 6.04.
I am completely puzzled on how Pujols has an average in the .300's. Every time he looks good he goes 0 for X. I have stopped picking him long ago, as in terms of purely # of days with hits, he is only 3rd on the team at best.
Matt Holliday is the best pick if you want a Cardinal now and I liked Skip Schumaker more often than not, when Holliday was still with the A's.
Oh yeah and dragbunt, I figure I should pitch this idea to you now. I was thinking that when the season and the postseason end, that we take all the regulars of 2009 this year and maybe some top propsects expected to start in 2010 and provide a comprehensive catalogue ranking players in several different categories.
We could use the last post on this blog to hammer out the details throughout the offseason.
What do you think?
Yeah well their loss for no sense of humor. Good luck – I was right behind you until last week when I got burned by Miguel Cabrera.
I also gave up on Pujols long ago for the exact same reasons. And my personal superstition – I do not pick a Yankee when they're in Fenway. 🙂
champion_88 – Great idea for the blog regulars to evaluate players after the season is over with an eye toward 2010.
Thanks for including me in. Let's stay in touch on the blog and exchange email addresses via the blog later this month.
We all have "superstitions" – I would like to take Matt Diaz ATL on Friday as he is hot but —–Cincy has Bronson Arroyo on the mound – I can't do it! Diaz has one hit so far on Thurs. night.
Ichie looks good for tomorrow too. I have not looked at anything else yet. Tomorrow being night game, I will not touch BTS until tomorrow. Mazzaro should be hittable. Ichie will most likely get 5 at bats. He just got a hit off Tomko in his first at bat. I knew that Tomko's resurgence with A's had to be BS.
I don't mind sharing my email as well and tomorrow Damon is going to be a great pick as he kills Halladay.
Tomorrow I am going with Kurt Suzuki vs. Rowland-Smith. Also going on vacation this weekend and going to be away from a computer, so here's my picks through Monday.
Saturday – Ichiro vs. Brett Anderson
Sunday – Mauer vs. David Huff
Monday – Torii Hunder vs. Kyle Davies
Good luck to all this weekend.
Great to see all the informative posts (hammanm, vinny1979, champion_88, btsplayer). Givng concrete info is the key to success in this game. The King can be beaten if guys work together. This time of year is now our "spring training" to tweak our game plan for 2010. After we exchange email address later we can continue that process.
PITCHING CHANGE FOR TODAY – Clayton Mortenson(R) goes for Oakland tonight v. Seattle and Ichirio. Mortenson was traded from Cards to A's and this will be his 3rd ML start.
Was he part of the Holliday deal?
vinny1979 – Halladay is struggling lately – Damon has his number and really should be a "King at the Plate" today.
Good Luck to all today.
What's happened to the "Group" function? Three friends and I have formed a league called the Levi Ghetto Cats, but for the last couple of days, when we've tried to check our standings, a click on "Groups" has resulted in a small box in which is written, "Groups are temporarily unavailable. Please try again shortly." We're in a tight race and it's frustrating not to know without exchanging phone calls or e-mails who our opponents have selected or where their streaks are.
The group function seems to be down since they started the "September Edition", it's frustrating. One way to get to it, though, is to log in and go to the leaderboard. Between your stats and the leader's stats at the top of the page is a drop down menu that says "select group". That should work.
So Ichiro still a good one for tonight against this new kid? Currently have Adam Lind against Joba Chamberlain but not at all confident.
I changed my pick to Damon today based on the chatter. Thanks for the input.

"I suspect, however, that (Funes) was not exactly versed in thinking. Thinking means forgetting differences, generalizing, abstracting" (Funes, o Memorioso, Ficções, Jorge Luis Borges).
A short while ago, I was reading a book about memory when I came across a note on the short story "Funes, the Memorious," by Jorge Luis Borges. In the short story above, Borges describes a character, Irineu Funes who, from a certain point in his life on, develops perfect memory, that is, he is able to recall absolutely everything. He manages to grasp the particulars of everything he lives, capable to remember a whole day of his life in minute detail, to the last second, even if it took him another whole day to do so. However, what most impressed me about Funes was not his astonishing memory skills, but his "inability to forget."
"In order to think, we inevitably need to generalize, and in doing so, we must forget". (Virgílio Fernandes Almeida).
Transporting this account into the universe of design, we realize that the Internet is becoming increasingly similar to Funes. The number of details and the overabundance of information in today's sites smother users. Most current sites oppress and confound, fragmenting and breaking off information.
"Nevertheless, I suspect that [Funes] was not capable of thinking... In Funes' overloaded world there was nothing but details..." (Funes, the Memorious, Jorge Luis Borges).
Web designers must realize they do not have to "show users everything," overloading them with information and details, for the latter are no sooner perceived than they are forgotten.
"... (men) end up hauling, everywhere, a formidable amount of insufferable pebbles of knowledge, which now and then still rumble in the stomach..." (Nietzsche)
Men's memory is innately selective. Human beings possess an amazing ability to see the world which is radically opposed to that of Funes'. We are even able to look somewhere and see what is not there. Nothing comes closer to human thought than hyperlinks. Through them, contrary to Funes' cumulative system, we but connect, traverse, slide, and navigate. Web design must be given a boost in order to be potentially creative, enveloped in a veil of mystery, vitality, strength, necessary illusion, blindness, bias. Web design must go back to making users think!

Dr. Phillip McMillion
One often hears Christians express the desire for worship that is more meaningful. The issue is how to determine what makes worship meaningful and how we can achieve this. H. H. Rowley puts it this way, "The real meaning of worship derives in the first place from the God to whom it is directed." In a Biblical sense, worship is to focus first on God, not on the preferences or feelings of the worshipper. This focus on God rather than humanity challenges some of the assumptions of some modern views of worship.
There is much we would still like to know about worship in ancient Israel, but most students of the Old Testament agree that the Psalms were important in Israel's worship. Perhaps, we need to return to the use of the Psalms which express a confidence in God as one who is steadfast in love and mercy. There is a balance between the holiness of God, and the love of God. The challenge for us is to maintain both of these elements in our worship to the Lord.
One of the ways that the Old Testament maintained a balanced view of God was through remembering what God had done for his people. When God called Abraham and led him, God showed his love and protection. When he kept his covenant with Abraham, the Lord showed his steadfast love. God also showed His majesty and power, however, when He sent the plagues on the Egyptians and delivered Israel at the Red Sea. The memory of what God did for his people was crucial and it inspired them to respond to God in worship.
In many of the Psalms, there is an emphasis on telling and re-telling what God had done for his people. This was to be preserved and taught to each new generation in order that they might also understand and appreciate all that the Lord had done. When they remembered the Lord's actions, the coming generations would also respond with gratitude and praise. This is clearly seen in Psalm 105. The Psalm opens with a call to "Give thanks to the Lord." For what are they to give thanks? They give thanks for His deeds, wonderful works and miracles, as seen in verses 1-5. The largest part of Psalm 105 contains a summary of the deeds that God had done. In verses 7-15 the Psalmist reviews the covenant which God made with the Patriarchs. In verses 16-25, the Psalm recounts God's work through Joseph and Israel's oppression in Egypt. The plagues on the Egyptians are reviewed in verses 26-36. Then verses 37-42 relate the great deliverance by God at the Exodus and his care for Israel in the Wilderness. The people rejoice at the blessing of the new land which they receive in verses 43 and 44. The final line of Psalm 105 returns to the theme of praise to the Lord. This psalm calls on God's people to praise him, but it also teaches what God has done. Why do they praise God? Because of all that God had already done for them. The works of God were not viewed as ancient history of no importance to the present generation. God's work was taught over and over again to each new generation as a crucial part of their heritage.
In ancient Israel, if they were to praise God for what He had done for His people, it was crucial that they know the story of these great deeds of the past. This may seem obvious, but it is true. Now, how does that apply to us? Since we are indeed God's people as 1 Peter 2:9 says, then this heritage of God's works is also our heritage. If it was important for ancient Israel to know this story in order to properly worship and praise God, can it be any less important for us today? How can we worship God if we do not know the great things which God has done? In ancient Israel, they came to God with hearts full of thanksgiving and emotion, but that emotion was based on a knowledge of what the Lord had done for them.
In our modern world, there is often little appreciation of the past. Anything that happened over two weeks ago is considered ancient history with no possible relevance for us. We must be careful, however, not to let this attitude toward the past destroy our appreciation for God's wonderful work. We must teach new Christians what God has done, and that this was done for them. As God's people, we must remember God's works so that we can praise him with hearts of gratitude. The joy, thankfulness, and emotion of our worship should always be grounded in our understanding and remembrance of God's actions for us. Perhaps, the use of Psalms such as Psalm 105, 106, and 136 would help us to appreciate the importance of knowing God's history.
There are many other types of Psalms that could also be used in worship today. There are times to thank God for his wonderful blessings, there are times to rejoice together, or times to cry together. The Psalms could help us to find words to express many of these thoughts. The key idea is to make sure our worship is centered on the Lord. We may well discover that our own emotions and feelings are richer because of our focus on God in our worship.

With Movember upon us, Maria Loupa dishes out advice on styling that 'tache
Upper lip feeling lonely and a perhaps a bit chilly? Well, now you can warm it up while serving a good cause. For those who don't know, Movember is a global movement that raises awareness and funds for men's health issues like prostate and testicular cancer. Before you go Movember-style, you should consider two very important factors: your face shape and features, and the image you want to portray. Moustaches come with dos and don'ts so choose them wisely.
After you've decided on the desired style, you should learn how to keep it up. There are some basic and simple grooming rules you should follow. Buy a moustache grooming kit (comb and scissors). Following the line of your upper lip, use the comb to align the moustache and clip the ends with the scissors. Start from the centre and proceed outwards; symmetry is everything.
For the rest of your face, you will need a standard razor. If you want to live the full moustache experience, you can go old-school and buy a shaving brush too. Always use shaving cream to avoid cuts; a lanolin-based one or even plain pomade will work best. Style it with a little wax, applying it on dry hair and then combing through. To avoid itchiness and dandruff wash with a mild shampoo, not soap. Using conditioner and moisturizing it with a little wine once or twice a day works well. Be patient; it takes time and experimentation with various products until you find the one that works best for you.
Dear hipsters, hammer pants of the world or just moustache-lovers, this is your time to shine… Happy Movember!
The 'Hulk Hogan'
Are you more than six feet tall and so bulky that no one messes with you? If the answer is no, stick to a regular moustache; there's a reason why Yosemite Sam is not real.
The 'Hitler'
Don't expect to avoid the direct link; trust me, no one will think 'Charlie Chaplin'. This is not funny, not cool and definitely doesn't look good. Do the world a favour and either get that thing off of your face or grow a proper one.
The 'Tom Selleck'
Do you want to be a 'big deal'? If you want to serve and protect 70s style, this rich moustache, which oozes with power, confidence and mahogany, is the right one for you. And you know a cigar would go great with that.
The 'James Franco'
This one seems to be a very popular choice, as it is the most common outcome of not shaving your moustache for a month. The slimmer the more sophisticated. Who cares if you look like the Pringles guy in his prime?
The 'Aunt Muriel'
If you look like you've just had a glass of milk, you're doing it wrong. In order for you to ever feel a woman's touch before the end of the month, wipe this thing off.

abortion, expulsion of the products of conception before the embryo or fetus is viable. Any interruption of human pregnancy prior to the 28th week is known as abortion. The term spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, is used to signify delivery of a nonviable embryo or fetus due to fetal or maternal factors, as opposed to purposely induced abortion. Therapeutic abortion is an induced abortion performed to preserve the health or life of the mother.

As I said earlier you need to tweak few things to run this monitor with Intel 810 or 845 based chip-set under Ubuntu Linux.
In order to use higher resolution install updated Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver. It is provided by a package called xserver-xorg-video-intel. This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, and i945 series chips.
Replace driver by running the apt-get command. Open your terminal and type command:
$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
Now run ddcprobe command to get monitor VertRefresh values and HorizSync rate:
$ sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
monitorrange: 24-82, 50-75
24-82 is your HorizSync rates and the second pair is your VertRefresh (50-75) values.
Next reconfigure xserver (X.org) video and monitor using auto detect feature:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Set monitor resolution 1440 x 900 and others as per your requirement. Save the changes and reboot the system.
After login you can adjust screen resolution by visiting System > Preferences > Screen Resolution > Select desired screen resolution such as 1440 x 900 and save the changes.

Breaches have become an inevitable part of IT security, making incident response an important element in security programs.
"Cybersecurity-related attacks have become not only more numerous and diverse but also more damaging and disruptive," the National Institute of Standards and Technology writes in its new guidelines for incident response. "Not all incidents can be prevented. An incident response capability is therefore necessary for rapidly detecting incidents, minimizing loss and destruction, mitigating the weaknesses that were exploited and restoring IT services."
Could you continue to operate under cyberattack?
Special Publication 800-61 Rev. 2, "Computer Security Incident Handling Guide," has been updated from the previous version released in 2008 and includes hardware- and software-independent guidelines on establishing an effective incident response program, as well as on detecting, analyzing, prioritizing and handling incidents.

The Suddenly Zen Twitter Stream of Cory Booker
Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker ticked off Frank Lautenberg by announcing he was running for the Democrat's Senate seat even before the 89-year old announced any retirement plans. Lautenberg and his New Jersey Democratic allies have been criticizing Booker's record as mayor and questioning his readiness for higher office, both publicly and anonymously, ever since.
But rather than strike back on Twitter—Booker's preferred format for communication with the world-at-large—he's been taking a very Zen-like approach, tweeting ancient proverbs and quotes about kindness.
Last week, Lautenberg compared Booker to one of his disobedient children, whom he loves but needs a spanking. A couple of days later, Lautenberg criticized Booker's job performance, telling National Journal that "he's got a lot of work to do—a lot of work that should have been done and hasn't been done."
Later that evening, Booker tweeted an ancient proverb on mudslinging. He didn't mention Lautenberg or his comments, but it prompted BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski to ponder whether it was a "passive-aggressive tweet toward Frank Lautenberg?"
"He who flings mud loses a lot of ground." Ancient Proverb
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) January 25, 2013
On Thursday night, Lautenberg again slighted Booker during the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce annual dinner, saying: "I'm disappointed that Cory Booker couldn't be here tonight. I'd think spending time out of the city was one of his favorite activities." Later in the evening, someone tweeted at Booker that Lautenberg "likes to take cheap shots." Booker responded by praising the senator:
He is a good man & deserves immense latitude & respect RT @bohratom I see Lautenberg likes to take cheap shots at U. I hope u clobber him
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) February 1, 2013
Eight minutes later, he followed it up with this Dalai Lama quote:
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." The Dalai Lama
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) February 1, 2013
And less than an hour later, he tweeted his own "Bookerism" on how to respond to political criticism:
I find that every moment I react with anger is a moment lost where I could act with purpose
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) February 1, 2013
This election isn't until 2014, so there is still plenty of time for meditative-like responses. Booker would be well served to keep a book of proverbs handy, but he may need to get a little more aggressive if he continues to be on the receiving end of intraparty attacks.

As part of Mazda's involvement in our Trek 2 Texas 2002 event, we got the keys to a couple of Protg5 (P5) wagons for the trip. The red one was destined to remain with us as a long-term tester. We knew we were taking delivery a scant 48 hours before our departure on the 2,000 mile Trek. We also knew the sporty wagon deserved to be dressed to thrill for the four-state blast into the Southwest.
A quick call to HKS got us a Power Flow intake and cat-back exhaust; DAZZ Motorsports stepped up with a set of RH Evolution C3s to join our Falken rubber and H&R lowering coils to give the 5 a proper stance. On the Trek, the Protg looked sharp traveling down the road and thanks to the performance upgrades, it easily overpowered the yellow P5 that only had a set of wheels.
Off To The Dyno Cell
The parts came in the day before the car so we shot them and took the car to Area 51 Fabrications in Irvine, Calif. for installation. The Area 51 crew allowed use to use its Clayton dyno and all installation and testing took place on the Saturday before our Monday departure. The wagon was strapped to the rollers for baseline testing which showed 123.9 hp and 126.6 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.
The first power part was the HKS Power Flow air filter. The five-minute install netted 125.8 hp and 127.5 lb-ft of torque. At peak we realized gains of 1.9 hp and 0.9 lb-ft of torque.
Next up was the HKS Hi-Power cat-back exhaust system, which features a stainless-steel muffler canister and wide mouth tip. With system bolted in place, the rollers spun to the tune of 129.6 hp and 132.0 lb-ft, which indicates a gain of 3.8 hp and 2.5 lb-ft of torque more than the first test. In about an hour, we saw an overall increase of 5.7 hp and 3.4 lb-ft of torque at the wheels.
The HKS exhaust system included a silencer and curiosity got the better of us. We decided to install it and make a pass. The silencer cost 1.6 hp and 0.9 lb-ft of torque. Whether the reduction in power is worth the reduction on the eardrums is up to the individual-we're just dishin' out the numbers.
The gain of 5.7 hp has more impact when you consider it represents a 4.5 percent gain over stock. The P5 is a neat little car. With the WRX wagon and IS300 wagon available, the P5 is hitting the market at the perfect time. We look forward to adding even more Zoom to the Mazda in future issues.
The HKS Power Flow filter system was a super quick bolt-on that added 1.9 hp.
The HKS Hi-Power exhaust system features a bolt-in silencer at the tip. We tested the P5 with and without the baffle.
A set of RH Evolution C3 mesh-style wheels were tag teamed with Falken rubber and H&R lowering coils to give the P5 an attitude adjustment.

Book Review: Secrets to a Creative Mind: Become the Master of Your Mind by David Judd Nutting
I have to admit that Secrets to a Creative Mind: Become the Master of Your Mind by David Judd Nutting was not an "easy" read for me. I was very interested in the content, however, and learned a tremendous amount of valuable information regarding the human brain and how it works.
In this book, Nutting talks about quantum physics, transempirical reality, the complementary principle, the quantum self, and more. It was a bit intimidating for my simple mind, but I was able to develop a better understanding of all of these terms, and make a few connections that I never would have learned had I not read this book. He describes the brain, including the conscious and subconscious, and he uses a phrase called "Thought Talk," where one has the power to influence and guide one's subconscious mind to achieve one's ultimate dream. Nutting suggests that through purposeful and focused meditation, it is possible to connect with the subconscious, where problems can be solved using stored memories. This is what leads to tapping into our creative minds.
Nutting says that creativity is "the ability to take known and established events and rearrange them into a new meaningful order." He shares many examples from his personal life about using his creativity and tapping into his "Thought Talk," and how he was very successful practicing these skills. As an industrial engineer, he was instrumental in early video game development as well as designing the first SUV (Jeep Grand Wagoneer), among other significant accomplishments. The most significant nugget I took away from this book is that the brain needs to be challenged and learned new things regularly to maintain strength. Without new challenges, the brain can suffer.
I recommend Secrets to a Creative Mind Nutting to anyone who is interested in learning more about how the brain works and the connection we all have with quantum physics. I plan to implement the suggestions Nutting offers in this book in the hopes of improving the creativity ready to be released in my own brain.

Colorado ODs get long overdue Medicaid pay boost
For the first time in four decades, Colorado optometrists providing eye exams to Medicaid patients will see an increase in their reimbursement.
"We always went at this from a patient-centered care place."
A budget bill approved by the state legislature and signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) calls for Medicaid providers to get paid at 80 percent of Medicare, starting on July 1.
Before the bill's passage, Medicaid had been paying ODs approximately $26 to $27 for an eye exam. "We hadn't had an increase in 40 years," says Deanna Alexander, O.D., legislative chair of the Colorado Optometric Association and chair of the AOA's State Government Relations Committee.
An OD since 1987, Dr. Alexander recalls that she got paid $28 for exams when she first started her practice, meaning reimbursement has actually gone down. Under the new pay increase, payments will average about $90 to $94, she says.
The increase specifically applies to eight vision codes for Medicaid, all of which relate to comprehensive eye exams.
"Some of the codes are for new patients, some are for established patients and there are some codes for intermediate eye exams that are not used very frequently," Dr. Alexander says.
Optometry appealed to state regulators
Working with state administration officials to get this rate increase was key. Not many ODs see Medicaid patients, mainly because reimbursement has been so low, says Kathi Williams, COA's executive director.
Access in the state is critical, however. Colorado is one of the states that decided to expand Medicaid eligibility to 133 percent of the federal poverty level under the Affordable Care Act.
"We always went at this from a patient-centered care place," Williams says. "That is, we got a lot of patients in Colorado who were not getting served at all or on a very infrequent basis. So, in order to inspire more doctors and increase their ability to see more Medicaid patients, we asked for an increase."
This was accomplished through meetings with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF), in addition to member letters, asking regulators to boost Medicaid rates to 80 percent of Medicare. HCPF is the department in Colorado that manages Medicaid.
"Three of our doctors of optometry and I paid a visit to the cabinet member and two staff members at HCPF," Williams says. "We showed them the difference between what Medicare was paying and what Medicaid was paying." The AOA did its part by providing some advice on strategy through its State Government Relations Committee and staff.
COA appealed to regulators by explaining that the vision piece was just a small part of Medicaid. "We said: Look at the big impact you can make for such a small investment," Williams says. "I think that's one of the reasons why we were able to get 80 percent of Medicare," as opposed to a lower percentage like 70 percent, she adds.
The pay boost will go a long way toward improving access, Dr. Alexander says. She reports that patients she's seen in the past are coming back to her office with new Medicaid coverage through the state's exchange. Enrollment in the program is going to increase, she adds.

"Even those who blanch at the thought of Israel annexing the West Bank can learn from the points Glick makes…Glick has brought out her book at an amazing moment, sketching what many will see as a better route toward peace and in the nick of time." -New York Post
"Devotees of the two-state solution will surely dismiss Caroline Glick's The Israeli Solution out of hand. They shouldn't. Whether or not one agrees with Glick's conclusions, it's hard to dispute her premise: The two-state solution has failed repeatedly for more than 80 years, starting with serial British partition plans in the 1930s. Each time, it has foundered on the same obstacle: Arab rejection of the Jewish state's right to exist within any borders. And there's no reason to think this will change anytime soon. So anyone who truly considers the status quo unsustainable needs to explore alternative solutions." –Commentary
"If you read only one book about the Middle East this year, it should be Caroline Glick's. Whether or not you agree with her conclusions, she illuminates the contorted landscape by pointing to an audacious solution. It is only by considering alternative actions that we understand our present circumstances, and Ms Glick concentrates the mind wonderfully." -Asia Times
"A radical proposal advanced in time's nick for those who doubt the framework Secretary of State Kerry is seeking for talks about a two-state solution. [Glick] lays the arguments out beautifully, and her plan deserves attention on Capitol Hill." -New York Sun
"The most comprehensive and articulate defense of what the Israeli position is that I have ever seen." -Pat Robertson, The 700 Club
"A radical break with current thinking that has a chance to completely change the conversation for the betterment of Israel and America…Glick proposes that given an enemy that has been dedicated to nothing less than the annihilation of Israel, in order to defend its borders and continue to flourish, Israel must claim its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and grant all Palestinians, subject to Israeli law, with permanent residency and the ability to apply for full citizenship…Every person who cares about the fate of the West, regardless of political orientation, will gain something from reading Glick's lucid, thoroughly researched and thought-provoking book." -The Blaze
"The Israeli Solution will bring the one-state alternative out of the margins and into the mainstream policy debate." -Breitbart
"A bold, dramatic proposal, cleanly crafted and effectively argued…Given Caroline Glick's background, she is expertly placed to provide insight into why the two-state concept may have been flawed from its birth." -The Jerusalem Post
"Cuts through all the relativistic baloney regarding the Palestinian controversy and provides a comprehensive explanation for why it is vital for supporters of Israel not go wobbly now. If there is a single new book that can help the public make sense of the Mideast crisis, this is it…Caroline Glick makes a convincing case that the only way to move toward peace in the Middle East is through the one-state plan" -The American Spectator
"The Israeli Solution is a realistic solution because it does not promise to create a new Middle East, assure us that terrorists will become statesmen or breezily offer an end to a hatred that has existed for over a thousand years…Instead she offers the real solution of managing the conflict by taking responsibility for the territory and people instead of abandoning it and them to Arafat or Abbas and hoping that the magic doves of peace will do the rest…Advocates something that has never been tried before throughout this conflict; integration instead of segregation and unity instead of partition." –Frontpage
"If you want to understand the Middle East, read this book. If you want to know how our corrupt elites in Washington bungled American policy in the most incendiary region in the world, read this book. The Israeli Solution exposes all the lies we've been spoon fed for a generation and presents an alternative policy for the United States to follow in the Middle East that is clear headed, rational, legal, and moral. The Israeli Solution is simple and just. This is a must read." -Mark Levin, bestselling author of Liberty and Tyranny and The Liberty Amendments

Presidential scholar Richard Neustadt once wrote that the president's greatest clout lies in his power to persuade. More than signing executive orders or vetoing legislation, Neustadt claimed, the president succeeds when he convinces others to do what they might otherwise choose not to do.
California Governor Jerry Brown showed a bit of Neustadt over the past few months when he convinced a majority of legislators to do what they, too, might have not otherwise done, when they decided on Friday to fund the first portion of the state's $68 billion high-speed rail project.
Brown had a terrible political headwind to conquer. Public opinion polls showed that the voters were queasy on the idea, given the state's dreadful economy. Republican leaders in the House of Representatives promised there would be no more federal assistance if they had any say over the matter. And let's not forget the initial construction site, from Chowchilla to Bakersfield. Who's going to ride the train there? No one, but that's where the feds with $3.2 billion in matching funds said the building should commence.
Not a pretty picture. Still, Brown persevered.
In some ways, Brown took a page from the legacy of his father, Edmond G. "Pat" Brown, who also proposed a huge infrastructure project. In 1959, shortly after his election to the state's highest post, the senior Brown asked the voters to pass a then-huge $1.7 billion bond to create the California Water Project, the backbone of the state's massive water movement system. At the time, the proposal equaled the size of the state budget. Critics viewed it as an unnecessary boondoggle. Others looked into California's future and saw nothing but trouble without enough water to meet the state's needs. Of course they were right.
We won't know whether the current Brown is right for decades, but we know this: against tremendous pressure he prevailed. And whether or not you believe the high-speed rail project is a good idea, you have give credit to Brown and Senate President Pro-Tem Darrell Steinberg for exercising a characteristic rarely seen these days--leadership.

Change is the order of the day, and if anything, the pace of business and technology change is accelerating. The business and customers are looking to IT service providers to be more responsive, delivering more frequent service changes with higher quality-resulting in services that deliver more value to the business. In order to continue to be relevant and of high value, ITIL must continue to benefit from other complementary best-practices for IT. DevOps, an approach that encourages improved communication, collaboration, and teamwork across development and operations, can have a positive influence in improving ITIL processes across the service life-cycle.
Cloud computing enables development teams to get applications into production faster. IT Service Management (ITSM) leaders must adopt new strategies and change existing processes or risk becoming a barrier to success. Cloud computing requires DevOps-the blending of development and operations with the goal of accelerating time-to-market and reducing time-to-value. The good news is that ITIL® is uniquely positioned to accelerate DevOps, but it requires changes to existing ITSM processes.

If you are about to engage in a stereotypically manly pursuit, you're going to have to get a little dusty, or dirty, or covered in lead-based paint or something. And while you could throw on an old, mustard-stained sweatsuit, you could also preserve a little bit of your dignity with the dashing Gentleman's Apron.
Made by Korea's TRVR, the Gentleman's Apron is made from durable waxed canvas with four real leather pockets and straps, perfect for holding the hammers and sharp implements you are bound to need as you go about your manly duties of fixing things, breaking things, and fixing things you broke while fixing other things. It even has a special sleeve to keep the pencil that you use to draw smiley faces on your handiwork, or whatever you use that for.
The apron, and all the glory and all the macho self-confidence it affords, can be yours for $68. And if you're looking for a place to stash it, might we recommend that industrial-strength rebar hanger in your closet? [TRVR via Cool Material]

Bristol Palin Hopes Week 2's Dance on DWTS Will Bring Smiles And Be Entertaining (Interview)
Below Bristol Palin talks to SarahNet.net about making it through the first week of Dancing With The Stars. She talked what goes on 'behind the scenes' of Dancing With The Stars including how they pick their costumes and their songs. They also run through some of her unexpected support. IE: Chaz Bono. Then Bristol gives a teaser for her and Mark's second dance. "It's going to be so awesome and so ME", Bristol says while giggling. Lots more below…
Bristol's has penned a new blog for Access Hollywood. Here is a take where she teases on her quickstep again saying it won't be "just any quickstep".
And this second week will be a blast!! We'll be doing the quick step, which is supposed to be fast and powerful. But we won't be doing just any quick step!
Mark had to tweak our moves a bit, because I get to use my favorite song… I doubt anyone's ever done to the quick step to this. Though I can't tell you what it is just yet, I know you'll love it. It's my anthem, the type of song I sing around the house.
Will my love for the song make me move a little better? We'll see!
Let's face it. I have a lot of room for improvement, and hopefully you guys can see a difference from week to week. I'm trying hard to get better, and I appreciate Mark's patience and instruction! I also appreciate all of you voters!

College of Pharmacy establishes alumni group for new graduates
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, April 7, 2011
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
Students who are graduating next month from the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo College of Pharmacy's inaugural class will also be the inaugural members of an alumni chapter with the UH Alumni Association.
The UH Alumni Association approved on March 30 a request to officially recognize the new chapter for the College of Pharmacy (CoP) Alumni Association. The request included confirmation of officers-elect, names of 15 volunteers to serve on the board of directors, the promise of membership by 46 individuals, and approval of the Chapter Bylaws.
Dean John Pezzuto said an alumni chapter seemed like a natural bridge for this class.
"For a group that has been so open to new ideas, so enthusiastic about the pharmacy program both in and out of the classroom, an alumni chapter is a logical next step," he said.
Elwin Goo, former chief of pharmacy service at U.S. Army Health Clinic for Schofield Barracks and chief of inpatient pharmacy for Tripler Army Medical Center, will serve as founding president of the new chapter.
"Alumni are carriers of the identity of the pharmacy school just as much as students or faculty," Goo said. "Alumni can serve as mentors and identify employment opportunities for fellow alumni as well as students. The chapter is designed to promote pharmacy education and our profession."
Membership fees support the College of Pharmacy and its students, strengthen the reputation of the College of Pharmacy, and enhance the value of the UH Hilo Pharm.D. degree and ultimately the entire profession, he added.
The CoP Alumni Association steering committee includes CoP student class presidents Jessica Toyama, Victor Lin, and Marisa Kaluhiokalani, Dean's Advisory Council members Elwin Goo, Kathy Hirano, Valerie Matsunaga, Ron Okamura, and Roy Yamauchi, and CoP Director of Community Partnerships Ron Taniguchi.
CoP Alumni Association officers-elect are: Elwin Goo, Pharm.D., president; Roy Goo, Pharm.D., vice-president; Jessica Toyama, Class of 2011 Pharm.D. candidate, secretary; and Keegan Sugimoto, Class of 2011 PharmD. candidate, treasurer.
Toyama said her classmates have a responsibility to their college.
"As part of the inaugural class of the first College of Pharmacy in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Basin, we have embraced the importance of giving back to the community. I hope to continue our legacy of community involvement," she said.
CoP Alumni Association membership applications are available online at:
https://uhalumni.org/. Questions regarding membership may be directed to Roxanne Kam, associate director of membership and chapter relations, UH Foundation Office of Alumni Relations, at (808) 956-0469 or email@example.com.

Posted by Stuart Herbert on April 23rd, 2010 in A470 Trunk Road, Coal, Edwardsville, Glamorganshire Canal, Historical, Photos, Quakers Yard and Merthyr Joint Railway, Shoot.
Drive north along the A470 from Abercynon, and your view to the left is dominated by the Giant's Bite, a gap in the skyline quarried from the ridge top.
The Photos
The Giant's Bite is a strange sight indeed, clearly visible against the sky.
Up close, the quarrying that created this unique feature of the landscape is clear to see.
Its position on the ridge top makes it easy to take dramatic photos of the quarry face against the sky.
This single tree growing out of the old quarry face makes a great focal point for photography.
Further down the slopes likes the eastern entrance to the old Cefn Glas railway tunnel that runs under the mountain.
The views from the Giant's Bite, more formally known as Cefn Glas, are best to the east, where you have Edwardsville and Quakers Yard.
Thoughts On The Day
We'd gone out for the afternoon for a walk on Cefn Glas. There's a choice of routes to it; you can cycle along the Taff Trail over the Pontygwaith bridge and then head south instead of north, or you can drive to it through either Quakers Yard or Abercynon. We decided to drive, and parked up right at the foot of the ridge line itself.
The walk up from the road is easy enough. The ridge itself is maybe half a mile long, running north to south, making for a nice afternoon of wandering along between the Cynon Valley to the west and the Taff Valley to the east. The Giant's Bite itself is much rockier, and takes a bit of care to clamber around; I can imagine it being a fun place to bring the kids for an afternoon.
Post Production
Although bright and sunny on the day, there were just enough clouds in the sky to make it extremely difficult to turn the colour shots into anything usable at all without HDR. Rather than resort to HDR, I decided to turn them into a black and white set instead. I can't decide whether or not I'm happy with the results, but they are what they are.
See Also
I've really struggled to find anything at all about the Giant's Bite on the Internet, but there's plenty to be found regarding the railway tunnel that runs underneath.
