First Look: Lohan, Fonda, Huffman in Georgia Rule
Though the movie doesn't come out for two more months, the trailer for Georgia Rule, starring Lindsay Lohan, just hit the Internet. Lohan plays an uncontrollable teenager (okay, not the biggest stretch) whose mother (Felicity Huffman) sends her to live with her grandmother (Jane Fonda) in a Mormon Idaho town. Hmm... maybe that's what Dina should have done.
After all that craziness with producer James Robinson writing a letter reprimanding Lohan for her terrible work ethic and partying ways, I kind of expected this project to turn into a disaster. Turns out, Lohan was just getting into character. I might actually see this film, mostly because Jane Fonda is awesome. Check out the trailer and tell me what you think when you read more

Although she generates negative publicity about her, and her morals are slowly heading down the toilet, I love to watch her movies. I will most definitly see this.
la bella vita
yes! totally seeing it!
"It's very inspiring for a designer to see his designs interpreted by the right girl."-Karl Lagerfeld.
Although this role doesn't seem like much of a stretch for LL, I've gotta remind you guys of her role in A Prairie Home Companion. Although it didn't do too well at the box office, Lindsay was really great in it. This does look like a bit of a "Chick Flick" if you will, but I think it's going to be a quality one at least. And can we discuss the HOT guy that plays Lohan's love interest? Mm, mm, mmmmm!
Whatever the reviews, you'll see me at the movie theater opening weekend - I love me some Lohan!
It looks like it'll be entertaining.Not something we haven't ever seen before or anything but i like chick flicks.
it does look kinda cool but i dont know if i can bare the thought of seeing a movie with LL in it. UGH i cant stand her. she looks good in the movie though - yuck yuck, i had to say it even though it pains me
this movie doesnt look that bad. i might actually go see it.

From the trailer, I like what I see of Jane Fonda. Definitely a movie that I'll see, but probably on DVD.
i think it looks cute, but definately one to just see on dvd.. im a big fan of jane fonda and maybe lindsay will do something unique in this one.. it just reminds me of freaky friday or something without the voodoo
I think the movie looks entertaining. Isn't it more up to the people making the movie to decide the look an actress has? I assume actors can do some things they think fall into the character, but the overall decision is probably not theirs.
"If men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate" Elbert Hubbard
I totally thought it was some hard hitting movie about an out of control teen girl, but this looks pretty damn sappy to me.
& We all recognize the rowboat scene!
Maggie Mae
I think the Jane Fonda/Felicity Huffman aspect is interesting enough to go and see the movie
Lindsay does not look good in this trailer. She comes off as flat and colorless. I will wait for this one to come out on DVD.
Yeah I thought that too Whip, the way Lindsay talks about trying to take more challenging roles, I certainly wasn't expecting, like you said, a chick flick. I'm sure I'll end up seeing it a some point, my best friend's sister loves Lindsay, but I won't be first in line at the cinema queue.
Huh. This wasn't what I expected of the movie at all. I thought it'd be a sort of gritty drama. This just SCREAMS chick flick. :oy:
I agree with JessNess, typical role for her. Looks more like an after school special than a major movie.
i don't think there was much Lindsay could have done to her apperance for this film. Her hair matchs felicitys and janes and her figure is about the same as there to.
Oh yeah- cant LL change up her look for a movie? This is how she looks everyday. It would be nice to see her really get into character and mix things up a bit
Its nothing personal against LL but judging from the trailer I dont think she is going to be very good. I feel like this is a typical role for her and she doesnt really have to act for it. I dont know what actress would have been better suited but I just dont think this is a good role for her.
I also feel like I have seen this type of plot line before.
I'm definetly gonna see! even if lindsay has a intresting personal life, i still think she's a great actress.
I saw the trailer on E! and I must say I'm slightly intrigued, even though my love for LL is almost completely down the tubes...

IF Geert Wilders is wrong, let his critics explain next month's "Islamic Peace Conference" at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
I've checked what huge billboards around Melbourne claim is the "largest ever Islamic Conference in the history of Australia", at which 20,000 people are expected. (Andrew Bolt)
Will Juliar Gillard who embarrassed Australia by condemning Geert Wilders also condemn this "largest ever Islamic Conference in the history of Australia?"
Will our ruling statists find "their views abhorrent" and declare them 'not welcome in Australia?' Will Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, who said Mr Wilders' comments on Islam were substantially wrong, condemn these savages? How many hotel managers will refuse to honour their bookings? How many venues refused to host them? How many hundreds, if not thousands of police units must be deployed to keep these fanatical soldiers of allah in check? Will Nick Kotsiras and his lipspittle Chin Tan swallow their vomit and apologise for their ignorant psycho-babble? Will the Moonbat Heralds ignorant 3-penny "philosopher" Tim Soutphommasane, who raved and ranted about "the Dutch MP's vile views" expose the genocidal lunatics who seek our demise?
I promise to swallow my hat if he does.
These are the same people who want to kill Wilders and establish sharia law under a global Caliphate because Muhammad commanded them to wage jihad like he did back in the 7th century.
And yet, it is Wilders who is characterised as an extremist.
Will West Australian Premier Colin Barnett apologise to the Q-Society and Geert Wilders for forcing Mr Wilders to cancel his speech after saying he was not welcome at government buildings?
Cowardly critics of Geert Wilders shame our country
IF Geert Wilders is wrong, let his critics explain next month's "Islamic Peace Conference" at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
I've checked what huge billboards around Melbourne claim is the "largest ever Islamic Conference in the history of Australia", at which 20,000 people are expected.
I've checked what the "chief guest" – Sheikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Sudais, imam of Mecca's Grand Mosque – has said of Jews: "The scum of the human race, the rats of the world, . . . the offspring of apes and pigs" whom God should "terminate".
I've checked what other invited speakers have said about killing gays, beating women to make them "shape up", executing apostates and supporting terrorists.
And the evidence is damning: Wilders' critics owe him an apology for having been so blind. So cowardly.
Wilders is the eloquent leader of Holland's third-largest political party and last week tried to conduct a speaking tour of Australia to argue Islam is incompatible with Western values and freedoms.
Wilders might know. For nine years, he has had to live under constant police guard after criticising Islam.
Islamists have been jailed after plotting his death. Another Islamist used a knife to pin a note to the body of slaughtered film director Theo van Gogh, warning Wilders would be next.
Yes, most Muslims are moderate, Wilders agrees, but their "violent Islamic ideology" is not and commands followers not to be, either.
If so, mass immigration to the West of followers of such an ideology is a danger.
There may be good arguments against this, but attempts here to simply drown Wilders out with abuse, misrepresentation and threats shame this country.
His Melbourne speech was blockaded by violent protesters. His Perth speech was called off when the venue became one of 30 to cancel for fear of reprisals.
Even the Executive Council of Australian Jewry claimed it was Wilders, himself, who incited hatreds: "Inciting hatred and animosity towards specific cultural or faith-based communities has no place in Australia."
The Islamic Council of Victoria, along with the Victorian Council of Churches, agreed : "We are concerned that the visit of Mr Wilders will be used to introduce overseas hatreds."
Yet this same Islamic Council actively promotes next month's "Islamic Peace Conference", some of whose invited speakers preach an Islam that sounds just like the imported hatred Wilders describes.
The conference is fronted by Wazeem Razvi, founder of the Melbourne-based Islamic Research and Education Academy and supporter of Sharia law here.
"We are not non-violent," he preached last year.
"We are violent but when there is a need for it . . . We have in Islam, jihad, yes, but we will never do terrorism. Yes, jihad is very Islamic."
But in a recorded speech in December, Razvi said one of the speakers he had invited for the conference was Indian sheikh Zakir Naik, "my boss's boss", who has a very different line on terrorism.
A YouTube clip shows Naik declaring: "If (late terrorist chief Osama bin Laden) is fighting the enemies of Islam, I am for him." He adds: "Every Muslim should be a terrorist."
Razvi talks big, and none of the overseas speakers he claimed in December he had asked is yet listed in the conference schedule.
But his wish list suggests the Islam he wants to push.
Another invited speaker is Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem, who says "homosexuality is an abnormality" to be punished by death.
He says polygamy is allowed, genital mutilation of girls "recommended", and wives refusing their husbands sex "a sin".
Leaving Islam "is apostasy and it is punishable by death in an Islamic society".
Another speaker, Abu Hamza, head of the Islamic Information Services Network of Australasia, also says women "must respond" if their husbands want sex and could be beaten "to shape them up".
"Don't hit your wife," Hamza says on YouTube, before instructing men to do so in an Islamic way as a "last resort" without causing bruising or bleeding: "The beating the prophet Mohammed showed is like the toothbrush."
Malaysia's Sheikh Hussain Yee, another invitee, claims Jews celebrated the September 11 attacks and are the true "extremists".
Then there's Sheikh Mohammed Omran, head of Australia's fundamentalist Ahl as Sunnah wal Jamah, who once said: "I dispute any evil action linked to bin Laden." Later he conceded: "He is a good man in some ways, and not in other ways."
I don't say all Muslim groups backing this conference know of or support these statements. Razvi claimed he was surprised to hear of Sudais' attacks on Jews. (Taqiyya)
Yet the question remains: why is Wilders vilified for warning against exactly the Islam preached by invitees to the "largest ever Islamic Conference in the history of Australia"?

So recently my Futaba 7c was stolen and I'm considering switching to a DX8. Does anyone who's made this switch have any feedback? How's the menu, ease of making changes? Any Pro/cons between the two?
Anyone? I'm reading a lot about range issues with Spektrum (which strikes me as odd with all the neat diversity you can install). I'll be putting a 1W amp on it anyways. The Futaba 8FG seems to be about the same price, and they say simpler to program, but the Spektrum has better ergonomics.
the futaba 8fg is superior.
no need to talk about spektrum.
else a graupner hott system as alternative.
I dont have any experience of the spektrum other than seeing sevel guys with problems at the club site even on 2.4
I can say that I have been using 6EXA and 7C Futaba for many years in RC and I have never had ANY problem, no gliches and no worries. For me its peace of mind even if it costs a bit more. cheap insurance.
never yet managed to fly out of range even with a 110" piper cub. Yes, its in my new UAV ready for test flights !!
Don't do it man. Seriously, I hear nothing but problems in my club too. This is like saying "My Toyota was stolen so I'm going to buy a Chrysler."
John: I don't think the 10CA is available anymore unforutnately. :( End of the line...
Ordered an 8FG :)
good decision ;-)
in case you need a small 8 channel ppm receiver for your futaba
:-) insurance pays for the stolen car...
con they will steal your futaba pro they wont steal your spektrum ; )
...hum...I use a DX8 and I never experienced any problems. But I never fly out of sight so it might explain the reason why....
But I'm curious and anyway Josh already place an order for a Futaba so I'm just asking you guys.
Is Spektrum have range problems? Just asking because maybe someday I will go crazy and Fly FPV way... way out of site ;)
oh and lol Robert. That is why I drive a Mazda.
Don't do it. The receivers have some cool tech like on-board voltage regulators and such but the system is quite prone to interference from cell towers. In particular, the directional 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz point to point connections between the towers. Fly between two cell towers and there is a 50-50 chance of getting knocked down with Spektrum, but only 5% or less with Futaba.
At one of out local fields everyone has switched away from Spektrum due to interference issues from a cell tower 3km away.
Better yet, switch to 433 and be done with it... spread spectrum frequency hopping and encrypted (with some versions)
Mmm 433 is wonderful armature band here in the US.
Thanks Jeff. Fortunatly I don't need distance in my equation in order to have fun with APM. But I'm still wondering what Trappy is using...? Don't want to start something regarding safety or anything... but watching his video makes me dream. And like I wrote. I do wish someday to strech the limit. thank you for your reply.

Veteran public school teacher Lavinia Sparks is threatened with dismissal because she won't stop teaching Shakespeare to her fifth grade students at Muhammad Ali Elementary School. Miz Sparks remembers a time when students were known for their talents, not for their test scores.
I can't take one more minute, thought Miz Sparks. I'll retire if this administration doesn't begin to provide assistance, instead of soundbites and condemnation. School's gone to hell, and they're on vacation.

The concept of homes for the elderly, retirement homes and nursing homes are widely accepted in the west. However, in India, the concept of old age homes is still largely frowned upon. Most old people expect, and rightly so, to be cared for by their children. The thought of moving to an old age home is often the last resort. This decision is either forced upon them or taken under a lot of emotional duress. Most old age homes in India tell a sordid tale.

Pretty much the gayest band ever. All they sing about is how their girlfriends dumped them or how life sucks. Also they lack musical talent. The lead singer can't keep a tune, his voice is that of a pubescent 12 year. I honestly think his voice cracked 98 times during dance dance. Also the instrumentals are horrible. Why, oh, why, do those losesrs buy expensive gibson sg's, fender p bass' and tama drums if alls they do is play some power chords layered with a beginners bass riff and a simple drum beat, then add the horrible vocals. Honestly, I could drag nails over a chalk board and sound better them. Fallout boy is honestly the worst band ever, in my opinion, in 12 years everyone will forget about them and they'll be sitting in the streets of chicago begging for money.
Fallout boy fan: O my god you loser face!!! your just jealous cause your music hasnt been good since the 80's No, but i do know music when i hear it, and fallout boy fits more in the category of a steaming pile of shit. |

1. Radioactive Man's sidekick on "The Simpsons".
2. The wrong way to spell the name of the Chicago band, "Fall Out Boy". Usually mispelled by haters and posers. Fallout boy is actually played by Milhouse!
3. | fallout boy | ||
worst band ever. lead singer w/ extremly high pitched voice. if not for the guitar work, songs would be confused with those of Nsync or 98 degrees. guy : fallout boy is fucking queer.

Fallout boy is radioactive man's sidekick, portrayed by millhouse and micky rooney. Fallout boy is toight, fallout boy fallout boy~jiminy jillickers! lookout radioactive man the sun is exploding again!

A Bunch of emos you get together and bash strings. One time me and my friends cut ourselves and made a band called fallout boy.
6. | Fallout Boy | ||
A shitty excuse for a band: Their alternative style lacks in musical development. Their songs lack variety in rhythm, consisting mostly of sloppy thrashing power chords and smashing drums. They have absolutely no ability to pull of a decent live performance, and they lack improvisational skills completely. They can't jam, they can't compose intricate style with solos and whatnot, so FUCK THEM!, and all the similar punk-pussy bullshit out there. BITCH: "Hey, have you heard the new fallout boy CD?"
DUDE: "No, why the fuck would you listen to that shit???" BITCH:"Cause I'm a stupid narrow-minded bitch." DUDE: "Good." |
7. | fallout boy | ||
the wrong way to spell fall out boy, a Chicago band who play emo rock music. Surprisingly though they can be good and songs such as golden and a little less sixteen candles can contain good lyrics. Give them a chance before slating them for pandering to wrist slitters John: You seen that band, fallout boy?
Andy: Like, what? It's fall out boy! you are such a poser!! I should slit my wrists. John: Whatever. |

Welcome to
I need some ideas about exercising my almost 11month dog who is being a knucklehead, and lost his right to run at large for the very moment.I've got the independence part of the gun dog equation covered in excess.
Or maybe I need advice on how to get the knucklehead's recall back to being rock solid when he's out of sight and ranging at 2-300 yards. He's collar conditioned, and works well within 100 or so yards, but then he hits another gear and he's off to the races.
Either way, I don't have a garmin (yet) and Cooper's new found adolenscent "listening" is making me a little nervous because of his long range tendencies... especially if he's "going deaf". His recall is great in my yard and on football fields (city folks), but we get out to the training grounds where there's no fences and off the check cord and nothin! I don't have a horse or ATV to keep up with him, and we can use those at the grounds cause they are classified as a conseervation area anyway. I don't think that it's doing any good to nic him or use the collar if I can't tell when he's coming back or tuning me out.
Apparently, I really needed to vent a little, too. Any and all suggestions of 1. tiring this pup out without compromising his growing body 2. Field recall drills
Thanks in advance.
ps. this is the same dog who wore a spider costume and went trick or treating for 2 hours last night, so he IS a good boy, and I do love him 99% of the time
Thanks Pixie.
I posted this on another board and got a lot of folks telling me to get rid of the dog if I couldn't handle him and other super negative things, so I took it down. I don't want to get rid of the dog, I just want to kill him sometimes
He is fairly obedient, but I wouldn't bet my house on them anymore since he's hit puberty. LOL. I could definitely stand to reenforce them a bit more to make sure he knows that we're not playing and he has to listen.
I do not want to limit his range at this point just because i'm not 100% comfortable right now. I just need to work on the e-collar commands, too, though, cause he's blasting thru it if he doesn't want to listen.
I feel like I'm toying with a fine line of getting him to listen and too much handling? He is young and I want to be a bit lenient, but we're only talking about recall. I guess I feel like a dog at any age better come back when called.
He is most definitely hunting for himself and couldn't really care what I'm doing at this point, and that's why we are on a bird hiatus (sp).
One last question: What's the order for whistle overlay with the collar? Collar then whistle? I'm not a big whistle person but I am working on whistle training because there's only so far my voice carries. I'm overlaying my voice commands and won't start working in the collar until he's got it, but I'm just double checking the order.
Are you sure he knows what the stim means? Have you specifically conditioned he to know what the correction means?
- I thought the answer was yes until a few days ago when he was running and totally blowing me off at a 5. Obvious sign that he either isn't sure what it means or is sure he doesn't have to respond to it. I'm thinking that he's got a date with a 100' cord and the open field at the training grounds. I haven't really worked on closer range stuff before like bending and retrieving out there because I hadn't had any recall issues and that's our place too RUN!!!! The issue with the big runs is that our training grounds are not wide open aside from one large but slightly tall grassed field so after 30 seconds he's out of sight.
We definitely need to work on the whoa-ing while moving. I was diligent about the whoa post and whoa-ing on a check cord for a while, but admittedly have gotten lax. I'd be lucky to win a $5 bet on his whoa now.
He fetches well at this point in the yard and in water, haven't really done drills in the field, but I plan on doing a force fetch once needed for broke work in the field trials. I figure some time next year as we're still running in puppies now and have all of next fall to run Derby.
How to I get him back? He comes back to me. The other day was the first day that I felt he was being a total jerk and ignoring me. I could hear his bell sometimes (100-200yds), so I know he could hear me (I'm loud and it was a clear day), and he didn't come find me. Before that, the only times that he didn't find me was when he was chasing birds (yes, chasing not pointing- whole different story). In retrospect, though, over the last month, he's been a little slower to return to me and check in once commanded. He's not hopeless, I've just let him get a wee bit too independent at the training grounds and he thinks he can just do whatever he wants.
I have to agree with everything Pixie Bee and Texas Belle said - focus on Obedience. I would add that it is important that (initially) the dog is not really given an option to "not comply". Breaking would seem to indicate that you should go back and enforce the basics again - especially in the area that the dog broke, and would not listen to commands. In this case, it would be back on the leash, and work Sit, Whoa, Heel, and Come (incorporating whistle where appropriate).
I have a very similar situation (living in the suburbs of Chicago). I cannot afford for my dog to break, and go wandering the neighborhood. I spend a lot of time on the leash ensuring the dog obeys basic obedience before removing the leash. This means I start with demonstration, and positive reinforcement. Once the dog seems to understand the command, I then integrate the e-collar in avoidance training (continuous stimulation applied simultaneously with the command, and removed when the dog complies). Once the dog obeys without stimulation, I move to momentary stimulation if the dog does not obey.
With Sadie, I know I will need more exercise in a controlled environment. You may (once training is improved) consider "roading" the dog. Check out www.alpineoutfitters.net/secure/scripts/default.asp. Don't road a dog without a properly fitted harness (No, I don't work for Alpine!).
First, thanks everyone for making me realize that I had gotten lazy in my everyday work and Cooper was just giving me the same effort I had been giving him.
I'm a planner by nature and trade, so I made a plan and have been sticking to it.
Would you point me in the direction of some FF methods, names, books, etc...?
I have used the TriTronics Retriever Training Book. A good friend of mine highly recommended it (www.amazon.com/Tri-Tronics-Retriever-Training-Jim-Dobbs/dp/0963838601/ref=sr_1_1). I think it is a great over-all reference as well. Only real issue is that it is written for Retrievers, which can have a different temperment to a GSP.
Evan Graham is good as well for a focused reference on FF. The DVDs are supposed to be outstanding to demonstrate the various aspects of Force Fetch.
Holy crap did he fight the fingers in the mouth, but bull headed boys can be like that.
OH, girls can be just as bad. Sadie did well the first couple of times with the fingers, and then she decided to clamp down . About a million things go through your head when that happens (like how am I going to work without fingers...). Luckily, I just grabbed the scruff of her neck and screamed (ok, not the most manly response...) . She let go. It was totally my fault - I got my fingers back too far in her mouth. We are now all good - Heeling around the block with bumper in mouth... Doctors say the cast will be off in 6-weeks - JUST KIDDING!

Daniel Estulin's "True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and What They May Be Planning Now
by Stephen Lendman
Monday, 1 June 2009
For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group's far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world's resources and its money.
His book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," was published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states that in 1954, "the most powerful men in the world met for the first time" in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, "debated the future of the world," and decided to meet annually in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group with a membership representing a who's who of world power elites, mostly from America, Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty, selected media figures, and invited others - some quietly by some accounts like Barack Obama and many of his top officials.

The new EU pharmacovigilance directive takes effect July 12. If you don't think you can meet that deadline ... if you have even the slightest doubt ... please read the rest of this letter now.
These new regs will force myriad changes in the way you do business in Europe. New and changed definitions. New regulatory bodies. New reporting requirements.
Right away, you'll face two major challenges: 1) Adoption of good pharmacovigilance practices (GVP), and 2) creation of pharmacovigilance system master files to supplant detailed descriptions of pharmacovigilance systems currently in use.
Fortunately, help is at hand.
This standout new management report from FDAnews could not have come at a better moment. Just look at some of the changes you'll face when Europe's new European regulatory regime kicks in:
Creation of a new pharmacovigilance risk assessment committee (the so-called PRAC, comparable to an FDA risk advisory committee)
Enhanced monitoring of risk management programs to assure compliance based on a product's marketing authorization
Requirements that you inform international regulatory bodies of safety-related issues prior to, or simultaneous with, public disclosures
Enhanced priority on signal detection, with MAHs required to evaluate all pharmacovigilance information and take necessary appropriate measures
Possible requirements for MAHs to submit protocol and progress reports to member states for Post Authorization Safety Studies (PASS)
Internet sharing of information among MAHs and regulatory authorities
The EU Pharmacovigilance: 2012 Compliance Guide is not a theoretical document, though – far from it. It's loaded with the sort of practical how-to guidance that gets you off the bench and into the game. Guidance like:
With so much of the drug and biologics trade depending on global sales, it'd be foolhardy to stick your head in the sand regarding these new EU regs. Don't take the risk of failing to comply. Order your copies of the 2012 Compliance Guide today.

EU Pharmacovigilance: 2012 Compliance Guide is available in print or PDF formats for $377 each.

Kratom Resin Extract 8x
Arena's Kratom Extract Resin is HARD, this means zero water content & more active product. Other Kratom Resins we've seen are soft and gooey... which means high water content and less active product, but not ours! You will be amazed at the quality of this resin.
Kratom Resin is produced by boiling large amounts of fresh Kratom Leaves in water. This liquid is slowly reduced until it forms a very stable resin extract.
The fresh Kratom Leaves are hand collected from remote Kratom trees in a sustainable way. The Kratom trees are pruned of their leaves which in turn causes the tree to produce more leaves without damaging them. Many Kratom cuttings are then replanted and will grow into new trees for the future. Rest assured; Arena offers the highest quality Kratom Extract you can buy.
Kratom contains mitragynine and was traditionally chewed as an opiate substitute and stimulant in Thailand and South-East Asia.
The alkaloid content of the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa is about 0.5%, about half of which is mitragynine. An average leaf weighs about 1.7 grams fresh or 0.43 grams dried. Twenty leaves contain approximately 17mg of mitragynine. The effects of kratom range from stimulant to sedative levels. Always make sure you do buy kratom resin pies from a reputable supplier for the best quality

For a while, there were concerns that Microsoft was planning to lock down Windows 8 tablets in the same way that it had locked down Windows RT tablets, which would have meant a locked bootloader and therefore no option to set up a dual-boot system. But, the Microsoft Surface Pro team has confirmed that the tablet will be able to run Linux...

After not sewing a single thing for over 8 months this was what I finished over the Christmas holidays using my new adjustable dress form in about 2 days. Nice fitting shirt could be worn to work with a nice cardigan on top, with a nice pencil skirt or casually with jeans and heels.
I made some adjustments to the pattern
1. 1 inch added on the front center piece to accommodate my bust better
2. 1 Inch on the collar due to the adjustment at the front/ varied to stand collar recommended on pattern.
3. Ruffle /gather sleeves rather than those suggested in the pattern
4. I only made 2 rows of ruffles rather than the 3 suggested in the pattern as with the gather sleeves I thought that would be too much ruffles for me.
About 2 meters of purple check cotton/shirting material bought from a stall on my high st from £4.00 ! Bargain. and 5 buttons from the pound store :)
I would recommend that this shirt could also be made with a more floating ( but not stretchy) cotton material with some body.

Also, please add your site to the Field Day 2013 locator at: <www.arrl.org/field-day-locator>. I will be making Field Day 2013 visits this year with SEC Jim Montgomery, WB3KAS. We'll be planning this year's route based on invitations and who has registered on the ARRL Field Day Locator site. If you are changing your site at the last minute, please let me know as driving 25 miles at 3 am to a site that I didn't know has relocated keeps me from visiting that site or another that could have been worked in that may have been on the route. We can usually get in 14-17 Field Day sites depending on the route. Same old, same old can get boring. So, to add another component to the mix, we're asking that sites establish a Winlink2000 station <http://www.arrl-mdc.net/Winlink/MDCWL2KOVwAM.htm> for two purposes. You can send a piece of NTS traffic through NTSD to the SM and get 100 points. Or, put it on voice on the MEPN or BTN as usual. I will be checking my email (email@example.com) via Winlink periodically as we travel. The other purpose for the station is to send a Winlink email to the next site that Jim and I will be visiting to tell them our estimated time of arrival. This will accomplish two very important things. First, it will allow a demonstration of how Winlink works for those at your site who are unfamiliar with it. It can be accomplished either on VHF on RMS Packet Nodes or via HF and Winmor, your choice. Second, it will let the receiving station know when they should have refreshments ready for two weary travelers. As we're working in the MDC Section to get Winlink to be a major component of our emergency communications, this provides a hands-on opportunity for your Field Day operators and visiting governmental officials to learn more about it and to see it work. A great opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities to government officials is to send an email over a radio to the smart phone on their hip while they're standing there. ==> APRIL, 2013 T-MARC NEWS TMARC Board May 8 (7 days ago) to N3ST April 2013 Applications in Process: DelMarVa Group -- Received application for CTCSS change and ERP increase for 448.8250- in Delaware City, Delaware.

This could help expand our outreach and give the new amateurs a hand up in getting started in ham radio. Stations who wish to help with this may establish an account on Radio-email, or send a liaison to one of the MDC Section or Local NTS nets, and advise me that you are willing to accept such traffic for delivery to new hams. PICNIC Members of any of our NTS affiliated nets who might be interested in having a joint net picnic should contact me on the nets or by email during May. If there is sufficient interest we could begin a search for a convenient central location to use, and poll for a good date for everyone sometime in mid or late summer. NETS The devoted MDC NTS team is maintaining daily operations on MEPN, BTN, MSN and MDD, including liaisons between those nets and our connections to Region and Area NTS on Cycles 2 and 4, plus our digital links. Many of our operators perform duties on multiple nets and days. They could certainly use some help with traffic handling and NCS and liaison duties on both voice and CW on many days of the week. These nets provide umbrella messaging and coordination services for all our county and city jurisdictions, served agencies, and for liaison with other Sections in addition to handling public welfare traffic nation-wide. NTSD, Radio-email Both new and experienced operators are encouraged to join us on the NTSD Radiogram and the Radio-email networks. Don, WB3FTQ, and Pam, N3HFC, have established daily HF PacTor connections for MEPN with the NTSD Radiogram service and with the national Radio-email service. These stations provide us with infrastructure-independent digital links for both network layers. Daily connections are made with the Third Region and/or Eastern Area NTSD MBOs, and with the Radio-email layer via WL2K or NTSD peer-to-peer Radio-email forwarding. N7NMS in Cumberland has established a WL2K RMS HF WINMOR Gateway here in MDC, and there are numerous RMS Gateways providing access to WL2K via packet radio. Both RMS-Express and AirMail WL2K clients can also transfer Radio-email peer-to-peer. What do you do when your internet, phone, or other wireless services fail? The NTS has now provided guidance on how to use nation-wide Radio-email to permit us to augment or replace those services with modern email-formatted messaging over radio - including the ability to connect with the public internet for email. NTS, NTSD, and ARES(r), have moved into the modern IT world. Join us in that effort. Software is free. Training will be provided for operators interested in helping. If you would like to join us in this important messaging service roll, contact the respective Net Managers or me and we will provide the details. These are skills which must be learned before emergency communications situations arise. Thanks to all the MDC NTS Net NCS stations and Net Managers for timely reports of monthly activity. Well done. Remember that NCS Net Reports are due in the hands of the Net Manager within 48 hours of the net session; NM Net reports and SAR/PSHR reports are due in the hands of the STM by midnight of the 6th of the following month. See the MDC Section web page at: www.arrl-mdc.net The NTS Nets tab and individual net tabs are near the top of the page. Also scroll down to General Information for the tutorials on Basic Traffic Handling, Voice and CW, and the WL2K tutorial. --- MEPN: The MEPN meets on 3820 kHz; summer: 1800L EDST (Pre-net 1730L); winter, if required by propagation: 1730L EST (Pre-net 1700L). The net may become directed during the pre-net as soon as traffic is posted for handling. Liaison stations will monitor the Echolink WB3GXW-L node connection (or the *WASH_DC* conference bridge backup) for check-ins on Echolink during the net. MEPN listed traffic may be pushed directly to county Target Stations on WL2K, outbound traffic to W3YVQ, Section Primary Target Station, in Batch File format (see the WL2K tutorial). ECHOLINK: John, WB3GXW, provides an Echolink service on WB3GXW-L (node link list), with backup on *WASH_DC* (node conference bridge list) as needed, for the MDC NTS. The MEPN assigns a liaison to this service daily to provide access to the NTS for stations not able to QNI the regular nets. Representatives from MEPN, BTN, MSN, MDD, all ARES® jurisdictions, and other amateurs are welcome. Echolink is an internet-dependent function and an off-air function for traffic counting unless accessed via linked repeaters. WL2K: The Winlink 2000 (WL2K) network provides for Radio- email messaging in the standard email format between served agencies, ARES(r) and NTS/NTSD. It is also used to carry attachments, such as ICS-213 messaging, Radiogram welfare traffic, and provides a protected gateway to addressees on the public internet for both agency traffic and the public at shelters. WL2K may be accessed via the internet, via packet radio, and via HF PacTor or HF WINMOR Gateway stations. WL2K is an on-air function for traffic counting when accessed via packet and HF, an off-air function if accessed via telnet/internet. (See the General Information, WL2K tutorial, at www.arrl-mdc.net.) OTHER NETS: The WVA Net meets on 3811; summer 1800L EDST, winter 1700L EST if required by propagation. Liaisons to WVA from MEPN will need to be there promptly at the start of their net, assigned at the start of the MEPN pre-net or the previous night. The WVA net has also used 3810 kHz on occasion. The DE net (DTN) is scheduled at 1830L on 3905 kHz., Monday through Saturday, the DELMARVA Net on Sunday. The EPA Net is operating at 6:00 PM daily for the summer, 5:30 PM winter, on 3905 kHz. ========== Thank you for your continued support of MDC integrated ARES/NTS/NTSD operations. 73, W3YVQ, MDC ASM, STM w3yvq atsign arrl dot net ==> FINALLY. . . We'd like to thank Bill Tucker, K3UEZ, for his six plus years as ARRL ARES Emergency Coordinator in Allegany County and welcome Shawn Wolfe, W8SJW, as the new EC there. Also, welcome to Bob Davidson, KB3KOW, who will be the ARRL ARES Emergency Coordinator for Charles County. Please check the list of repeaters and IRLP stations who generally link in to the monthly MDC Echolink net. If you aren't Echolink capable from your computer, check out the frequencies listed there and see if you can access one via our wonderful old fashioned radio service. We are generally able to welcome a number of RF check-ins via repeaters and links. I think it's really neat to be able to merge technologies. Thanks to ASM Wanda Montgomery's, KA3AHI, persistence in visiting hospitals, Health Departments and for the cooperation of local ECs in a successful effort to establish Amateur Radio stations in hospitals and Health Departments to build a robust interoperable Amateur Radio presence. Equipment is currently on order in Garrett County. 73, Jim Cross WI3N SM MDC Chairman ARRL ECAC

.. I need your last name for the guest list.
Full name is John Hevesi.
I think you know mine, but to keep it easy:
Rob Sydia
All the best,
I finally found my brother (funny his office is about 100m from mine, but one or the other of us was away for the past week and he was having e-mail problems). He'd like to come if there is a spot. His name is Colin McNally.
This year it is going to be known as the McNally Clan Session. Welcome to the MCS everyone. Sorry about the sarcasm Beth. Yes, Colin can come.
Fear not Rob Sydia, you know I know you. I was just trying to be discrete with names here because not everyone likes to be public with such things.
Watch for updates next week and if you have any contacts in high places make a plea for snow.
Apologies, I mis-reported the ticket price (sigh). For Fridays it is $50 (the $40 is Monday through Thursday). If you all want to pull out, I wouldn't blame you.
Joking aside, I think the McNally Carving Session is scheduled for reading week at Holimont this year. The video on carveitup.net at Sunshine is from our trip there 3 years ago. There are 3 McNallys in Toronto who ride but they didn't respond in time. There are also 3 west coasters who ride and others sprinkled across the country. I think we have 11 or 12 people riding plates total.
Osler has the highest vertical drop of the Collingwood hills at 800 vertical feet They are all pretty close to this but Osler's part of the escarpment doesn't start out with that typical minimal slope table land drop for the first 100 feet so the real riding starts right from the chair terminus. The runs are mostly blue with a few black runs that have 400 foot drop pitches. Most of the runs have ample width for carving and the grooming and snow conditions are quite good (to the extent that the weather cooperates). The club works well for carvers of all ability levels but I think experienced carvers get the most pleasure. Being a private club, the traffic is light and the skiers are mostly of a high ability level (less issues with novice skiers in the way but more issues with racers and pretend racers running you down).
You could visit the club web site here for more info but the web site is not that informative.
csquared: Thanks for all the info, i was just having a look at the trail map and some of the pictures and i cant wait to get out there! And the whole low traffic thing puts a smile on my face beucase theres nothing worse than waiting in lift lines.
Chris - I'm in, should I bring skates instead of a board? Praying for snow!
I've got all of my fingers and toes crossed that it cools off a bit. This could be an interesting session.... Collingwood is showing rain and/or freezing rain and/or snow for 3 of the next 4 days, but hovering around zero for temperature.
The good news is that Osler has a very good thick ice base built up, so as long as it gets a bit colder the crew will be making snow and it will stay. Unfortunately, the longer term forecast is not promising.
What an odd season we are having.
Hey all,
Do we have an itinerary for the Day. When and where to meet etc.
This from Osler Bluff web page this morning...
22 cm FRESH SNOW OVERNIGHT!"
Please tell me it's true!
Hey looks like i will be joining you guys next friday.. but i have to go into work for a bit. so probably be up there after lunch. (i know one of the instructor there so he will walk me in, so don't worry about putting me on the list.)
but where will you guys be mostly? im sure it wont' be hard to spot 20 hardbooter zipping down a run.
looking forward to friday.
The rumours are true. A bumper crop of the white stuff last night. It made for a difficult day out today but it will be great by the end of the week if the weather holds. The new stuff was damp and heavy so it isn't going anywhere once they get it groomed in tonight and the base under it is hard but moist so it should bond well. Weather for the coming week looks reasonable with flurries most days but some mild temperatures.
I have been a bit silent because I was concerned about whether there was going to be anything left to ride on. However, based on the snowfall today, I think Friday should be okay. So, back to Plan A. We ride Friday
Will post more details this week on meeting places, times, hills we will be riding, radio frequency etc.. Have to send the contract and the list of names Monday morning.
Osler is in great shape from Friday night's dump. They groomed it up beautifully Saturday night, and it was cold enough to harden nicely.
The weather forecast for the week has the brief reference to snowsqualls, which usually give snow to Osler when they happen. A really nice sunny day today at Osler, just to add to expectation.
BTW on Saturday it looked like alot more than 22 cm! Just really heavy!
We pretty much had a mini SOS today at MSLM. I counted 8 people on your list that were riding today. I saw at least 16 hardbooters on the hill.
They got a good dumping up there yesterday and it was great today after it got groomed.
I won't be joining you guys on Friday, but hopefully it will be a great day.
Looking forward to this guys
I was out at alpine and georgian peaks today and the conditions were amazing, hopefully it holds up.
I have to travel this week so I am going to try to get all of this down for everyone tonight.
If you need driving directions you can find them here. I am sure that there will be many people coming from the Toronto area and you could probably snag a ride if you need one or want companionship.
You will be looking for the main lodge. The drive to the main lodge has the Osler Bluff sign out by the road. There is a second lodge which is quite close to the road called the Orchard Lodge (we met there last year). You will only be able to pick up tickets at the main lodge. The lodge is the most prominent building once you are in the parking lot. The ticket window is in the passage under the building that passes from the parking lot area to the base of the hill. Your ticket will be reserved under your name and you will be paying for it at the window (cash or visa). You will also be signing a waiver. If I don't have your name, its too late and you won't be riding. If you enter the lodge by the doors adjacent to the ticket window, you will find lockers and changing facilities. Be nice, leave your board outside (stuff rarely gets stolen at Osler but if you want to lock up go ahead).
Lifts should start running between 8:15 and 8:30. If you are there early enough, we will ride up at 8:30 on the high-speed quad.
The best riding in the morning will be on the Orchard side (southeast end of the club or left side as you look up the hill) which will get any early sun there might be. This is also a good place to get limbered up and build confidence before hitting the tougher stuff. Snowridge is a good warm up. Exhibition and Valley can keep me amused for hours. The Gulch can be a lot of childish fun with a group. The Orchard has a perfect pitch down the right hand side if you are just learning your technique for steeper terrain. If the light is good, we should shoot some video on the pitch of Exhibition.
The runs around the main high speed quad will tend to get more skier traffic and will get cut up faster. If you are feeling confident, take your runs on these hills early before the ski groups arrive. Slalom will challenge your steep technique to the max. Sleighride is good for steady pitch rates with no appreciable cross fall but watch the chop in the middle of the hill as the groomers always seem to leave a ridge down the middle. Rattler is like a boardercross without the gates. Marshall is a good confidence builder but watch out for ski classes.
We will meet at the Upper Chalet at 12:00 for lunch. The Upper Chalet is at the top of the high speed quad. If you pack a lunch, remember to bring a backpack. There is limited food service at this chalet but you should be able to find something you can eat.
In the afternoon, I would suggest we head over to the north side of the hill where the Poplar chair is. This side of the club sees very light traffic usually and is in good shape most afternoons. Also the light gets better on this side after lunch. Shaws Run, Lookout, Breakaway are all great runs. If the light is good, we should shoot video on Lookout or Shaws.
If you start at 8:30, you are likely going to be thinking fondly of something wet and cold by 2:30. We will start meeting at the main lodge at around this time. At 3:30 I am guessing that everyone will likely be off the hill as the light gets really miserable after 3:00. If anyone has gear to sell / swap / or just show off, we will be getting together in the "race room" at 3:45 to 4:45. The race room is directly under the ski shop (in the building to the right of the main lodge as you face the hill); enter by the sliding door that faces the parking lot and the race room is immediately on the right. There are benches and tuning equipment there. If anyone needs tuning tips I am sure that we can arrange an impromptu demo. Then its back to the main lodge for whoever is left and interested in a beer.
If you have an FRS radio, tune if to channel 7 / 21 (for no other good reason than the fact that mine is already tuned there). Photographers, bring your cameras. Videographers bring your gear.
There are no demos organized but if you want to share the love with your brother (or sister) carver, feel free. The race room (mentioned above) is a good place for repairs or adjustments but you should bring your own tools.
Looking forward to this. Lets hope the weather holds.
This is going to be great! (said in my best Flounder voice)
Osler has the nicest snow and the most consistent pitch in the Collingwood area.
I'm going to bring a couple of boards for people to try out - a Prior 174 4WD and a Volkl 168 GS RT. If anyone has any small boards (<150cm) that they want to move, please bring it. My daughter has caught the racing bug.
If anyone wants a ride from West Toronto (Etobicoke), email me.
I can bring TWO Workmates and a cheap tuning vise. I'd love to see a tuning demo at the end of the day. I suck at sharpening edges.
Dave, I'd love to try those two longer F2s.
o wow, id like to try out some of these boards (looking to buy something from f2 for next season) Would you have bindings on them or would i have to transfer my race plates?
I will try to call someone at the club about doing much of a setup. One workmate on the deck should be okay, as long as we are tidy and don't block anyone. It is a Friday this time not a regular club day, so there are fewer members and more guests (works in our favour).
The club does organize demo days with Squire John and sets up tents and racks for skiis, so it is not that unusual.
IF the weather forecast holds true (major leap of faith) it should be a sunny day.
I called the club, and it is a clear NO to setting up anything like a tent, table of workmate on either the snow or the deck. I was quoted a series of "health and safety" rules and policy of the club maintenance department. We must use the wax room (race room) for work surfaces.
Sorry about this. The only other allowed area is beside your vehicle in the parking lot. On the other hand, the race room is a nice new setup, and has snowboard clamps and good usable counter space.
Squire John's apparently gets a dispensation from the board of directors of the club for their demo day setup!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday.
BTW Chris - if you are reading this, Jennifer needs your contract ASAP!
If you're riding on the OS2s, that could take the most part of the morning.Originally Posted by yyzcanuck

11 weeks, very little signs of pregnancy. Is something wrong?
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and the only symptoms I've had are breast tenderness, little weight gain, and frequent urination. No nausea or vomitting or dizziness or any kind of lightheadedness or cravings or anything.I have my first doctor visit next week, little late because I've had so much trouble looking around for a doctor, and I only hope that I'll be able to hear a heartbeat when I go. I've had no spotting or bleeding or any major abdominal pain, but the lack of pregnancy symptoms is freaking me out. Is anyone else having a pregnancy like this? Is this normal?

I never did have cravings and only got sick once during the first trimester. I did not gain weight either. I would definitely mention the frequent urination to a doctor though because you may have an infection. You should not be having to pee more in the first trimester, not really until the baby is bigger and putting pressure on your bladder, but more than likely your baby is OK.posted 02/01/2013 by katie7229

In a free program, Town Creek Indian Mound will highlight the art of weaving on Saturday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources 2nd Saturdays series. American Indians were weavers of baskets, mats, fabric and nets, and even their homes were woven together. Participating local artisans will include broom makers, basket weavers and jewelry makers.
The 2nd Saturdays program has over 100 free events that bring together artists, history and authentic North Carolina culture. The fun will take place at all 37 of the Department of Cultural Resources' museums and Historic Sites on June 12, July 10 and Aug. 14.
One of the vendors scheduled to participate at Town Creek June 12 enjoys painting reproduction quilt patterns, which he then places on the side of old barns in the area. Another artist will create handmade paper out of recycled materials and plant fibers; this paper can be used as stationery or art. Items created by the artists will be available for purchase at their booths.
Activities will also be available to the public for free. Participants can view a hands-on demonstration of how American Indians used wattle to make the walls of the huts. Children will enjoy learning cordage (the art of making string or rope) and creating their own bracelets; and staff will make pine needle baskets in the East Lodge.
For more than a thousand years, American Indians farmed lands later known as North Carolina. Around A.D. 1000, a new cultural tradition arrived in the Pee Dee River Valley. Throughout Georgia, South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and western and southern Piedmont North Carolina, the Mississippian tradition spawned complex societies. Inhabitants built earthen mounds for their leaders, engaged in widespread trade, supported craftspeople and celebrated a new form of religion.
In 1937, excavations began at Town Creek Indian Mound. Key features of the site were reconstructed, including the mound, two temple structures, a burial hut and surrounding stockade. Archaeologists' excavations revealed that the mound at Town Creek was constructed over an early rectangular structure known as an "earth lodge."
The mission of Town Creek Indian Mound is to interpret the history of the American Indians who once lived here. The visitor center features interpretive exhibits, as well as audiovisual displays. A national historic landmark, Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site is North Carolina's only state historic site dedicated to American Indian heritage. Tour groups are welcome. The site is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. It is closed to the public on Mondays and most major holidays.
The historic site is located on Town Creek Mound Road approximately five miles east of Mt. Gilead, in southern Montgomery County between NC 73 and NC 731. For more information on Town Creek, visit www.towncreek.nchistoricsites.org/ or call (910) 439-6802.

The Fairytale Tudor
Few homes have more charm than the Medieval revival style of architecture affectionately known as the Tudor.
Defined by steeply pitched and gabled roofs, prominent chimneys, and decorative timber, the Tudor style is equally attractive in cottages or palatial estates.
Tudor revival homes are recreations of late medieval architecture popularized during the House of Tudor reign in England, which ended with Elizabeth I. Large beams were erected and filled in with plaster, and the beams were exposed in a technique known as half-timbering.
One of the reasons the style is viewed so favorably is because the Tudor reign ushered in the beginning of political reformation and the Renaissance, a period of unequaled enlightenment.
The early Renaissance includes some of the greatest scientific and cultural advances in history, including the Copernican Revolution that the sun is the center of the universe, the study of physics by Sir Isaac Newton, and the passionate art of Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo, among many others.
The Tudor style remains popular today, and dovetails nicely with the public's appetite for organic building materials. The long wear of Tudor brick and stucco exteriors is complemented nicely by hard floors of oak, slate and stone, and decorative accoutrements of copper and iron.
Late Gothic and ecclesiastical influences are strongly present in the Tudor style, characterized by leaded and stained glass windows, arched doorways and tall cathedral ceilings, often embellished with exposed wood beams.
For a fairytale look, many modern Tudor homes include decorative half-timbering, overlapping gables, oriel windows, cut-stone trim, herringbone patterned brick, turrets and round towers that call Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel to mind.

West Caldwell Tech Named 2012 Blue Ribbon School
- School: West Caldwell Tech
- Award: 2012 Blue Ribbon School
In a ceremony held on Thursday, November 20, at the Hall of Records, the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders highlighted excellence in the Essex County Vocational Technical Schools by honoring West Caldwell Tech for being named a 2012 "Blue Ribbon School" by the U. S. Department of Education.
The Board's commendation was sponsored and presented by Freeholder Vice President Patricia Sebold of Livingston.
Freeholder Sebold opened the ceremony by saying, "Tonight I am delighted to honor a special school in our Essex County Vocational Technical School District, and especially because education is so dear to my heart; I was an English teacher for 30 years and also served six years on the Vo-Tech Board of Education."
West Caldwell Tech is the second high school in the Essex County Vocational Technical Schools District to be named a "National Blue Ribbon School" by the U. S. Department of Education (Bloomfield Tech was honored in 2009). The U.S. Department of Education named 269 schools across the nation as 2012 Blue Ribbon Schools, and West Caldwell Tech was one of only 17 schools in New Jersey to be so named, and the only school in Essex County to receive this prestigious recognition.
The school was specifically honored for making progress in improving student academic achievement levels, an accomplishment that is all the more impressive because a vast majority of the students enrolled in the school are classified as special education students. The improvement in High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) results has been dramatic, especially in light of the fact that HPSA proficiency rates in both math and language arts was 0% in 2004. Beginning in 2007, however, the scores have steadily improved: Math rates increased to 23.7% in 2007 and to a very impressive 85% in 2012; and Language Arts rates increased from 23.7% in 2007 to an astounding 97.5% in 2012. These improvements can be credited in part to new strategies instituted at the school under the leadership of its Principal, Mr. Chetram Singh, including: the attendance of students identified as needing extra help at a 5-week summer program; the extension of the school day from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM; and weekly meetings of administrative and teaching staffs to assess each student's progress and to intervene with specialized help at an early stage when needed.
West Caldwell Tech has an enrollment of 325 students who are offered a wide range of programs, including: Cosmetology, Retail Careers, Automotive Technology, Culinary Arts, Business Technology, Agriscience, Digital Communications and Mobile Application Development. The Essex County Vocational Technical Schools District, founded in 1914, is the oldest in New Jersey, and has an enrollment of approximately 2,200 students at four high schools: Bloomfield Tech, Newark Tech, North 13th Street Tech and West Caldwell Tech. The District offers high level state-of-the-art career and technical skill development opportunities in more than 25 career areas, and is led by Superintendent Dr. Michael A. Pennella.
Dr. Pennella introduced the West Caldwell Tech staff by saying, "These improvements didn't occur overnight, it took a lot of work. Not long ago, West Caldwell Tech was classified as a consistently failing school, and now to be declared a 'Blue Ribbon' school is a fantastic achievement, and we are just so proud of them." Principal Chetram Singh added, "We are a very strong family at West Caldwell Tech, and we really enjoy working with our students and our colleagues. It is an honor to be recognized as a 'Blue Ribbon' school and to be honored by the Freeholders. Thank you very much." Mr. Singh was accompanied by staff members Dicxiana Carbonell, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, and Boaz Laor, Supervisor of Student Achievement.

BCEMA Director Troy Spence said the drill went off without problems.
"Everything went well. Students took their safety precautions and positions while being monitored by teachers, school administrators and fire personnel from Cleveland Fire and Bradley County Fire Rescue," said Spence.
Also, warning systems such as pagers and weather radios were checked to make sure they were properly receiving correct warning tones and signals which alert school officials to put their Emergency Operations Plans in action in the event of a weather situation such as tornadoes or other severe storm activity.
"All systems checked out well," Spence added.
Tornado and Severe Weather Drills are conducted each year to teach students what to do, and to help teachers and administrators stay on the cutting edge of any changes in the overall operations plan.
The National Weather Service, Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and other public safety agencies aid in preparedness and alerting systems.
