In her hilarious New York Times best seller You'll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again, Heather McDonald recounted her adventures as an unwilling virgin in Hollywood. Now happily married with three wonderful kids, she shows that life as a grown-up - even a pretend grown-up - has its challenges. Heather's a working mom with parents who live next door, a sister who keeps asking for one of her still-fertile eggs, and friends who are up to more hijinks than even Heather can handle.
This self-proclaimed "Real Housewife of Woodland Hills" is determined to achieve A-list status (thus expanding her entourage beyond her three school-aged children and a house-husband who is infuriatingly bad at collecting neighborhood gossip) and defeat (or at least be accepted by) the mean neighborhood moms who judge her for taking her kids to a stripper pool party in Vegas. It's a lot to juggle when she's also battling her Chelsea Lately coworkers for the crudest and most elaborate practical jokes (don't ask her about that "free" Vera Wang dress).
Just as laugh-out-loud funny and irreverent in her storytelling as she is on camera as Chelsea Handler's partner-in-crime, in My Inappropriate Life Heather recounts her misadventures with a disarming candor all her own.

"Most moms that you work with come to your desk uninvited and start showing you photos or telling you boring stories about their kids.... Not Heather McDonald. Instead she shows me photos of her new pool." (Jen Kirkman, author of I Can Barely Take Care of Myself)
"I don't know any other person who can tell me they are 'over trees', mean it, make me laugh about it, and at the same time make me wonder if perhaps I am, too." (Sarah Colonna, author of Life as I Blow It)
I did recommended it to a friend who reminds me of Heather.
The sound of her voice
Only Heather McDonald, maybe her mother
She isn't funny. Her voice is irritating. She truly gets on my nerves.
Absolutely not.
I would use someone else to narrate. She seems to pause mid sentence. She's so affected!
If you buy this, get ready for the over the top eye rolls.
"Very hard to listen to!"
Yes, don't have the author read the book. She sounds awful, pauses at weird places and makes the book hard to listen to. She sounds like she has a cold.
Some of the stories of her childhood were interesting--those about her children were less interesting.
She is very nasal in her talk, stops at odd times and has a very monotone performance. It was almost as if she were doing standup comedy and was waiting for the punchline to hit. She isn't and it was distracting.
Nothing. I feel kind of dirty that I know entirely too much about her excrement habits.
I am not sure I can even finish this audio book. It was definitely a waste of money.
"Don't listen to it....read it."
Will someone please tell me why writers insist on reading their own material when there are trained professionals that will make their work sound a million times better? (I know...money!) I think this book would have been entertaining but Heather McDonald's reading was distracting. Her reading is monotone and hesitant. She trips over words and pauses at odd moments making it difficult to follow along with her stories. Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and Rob Lowe are examples of writers who are able to convey their work in a manner that has made me re listen to every one of their books. Heather McDonald's is not. My advice is to read this one.
The narrator. Heather's narration style/modulation of her voice does not follow the story line. It is very annoying sometimes.
did not finish because the narration really got to me
Paying attention to the whole sentence and reading it according to what is being said. It is important to put emphasis where it belongs and to make pauses where necessary but not in the middle of a sentence where it doesn't make any sense.
I thought the book was funny, not hilarious, but it probably would've been better with a more experienced narrator.
"Not that funny not that well done"
I thought it would be funnier
Her cadence was way off too much California influence for my midwest taste
Just disappointment
"An Interesting, Entertaining Story"
Yes, I couldn't stop listening to it. It was filled with entertaining stories and was well written.
It's too bad it wasn't longer.
"Slow start........Great ending!"
Yes I would because its her life in the raw........warts and all!
The cookie party story.....
Vocal inflections
No, 4 sittings.
"Heather McDonald is hilarious!"
Her stories are so funny because they are relatable. She is so normal even though she is in Hollywood, so all of the stories I thought "oh, I could totally see that happening!".
I like when the author reads their own book, even if they are not 'professional' audiobook actors. The stories are even better in her own voice.
Yes, you could! I listened in 3 days: in the car, walking around, at the store, my earbuds were glued to my ears!
If you like her on Chelsea Lately, the book is 1000times better!
"Hilarious HMcD Life"
I found this book to be humorous, funny, and somehow make me wanna listen to it again and again. Love couple of her stories. Can't wait until her next chapter.

Honolulu Academy of ArtsPhone: (808) 532-8700
April 12, 2012 - August 12, 2012At the close of the 19th century, photography shifted from a pictorial style, characterized by images with soft lighting, brilliant highlights and rich blacks that were manipulated and reconstructed during the printing process. A new society called the Photo Secessionists was formed, and their credo was to advance photography as "pure" or "straight," meaning that the medium would be devoid of manipulation, free of Victorian sentimentality, and painterly subjects.Ā This exhibition of photographs from the museum's collection demonstrates how photography evolved from Pictorialism to a new emphasis on craft described by art critic Susan Sontag as "impeccable lighting, skill of composition, clarity of subject, precision of focus, perfection of print quality." On view are iconic works by some of the most innovative and influential 20th-century American and European photographers who played a key role in shaping the evolution of photography and legitimizing it as an art form.Ā From still lifes of household items and botanical studies, nudes, and portraits of the cultural elite, to the grandeur of the American West, these photographs concentrate on a broad variety of subjects and are given equal significance.Ā Each photograph stands alone as a beautifully composed gem celebrated not only for its technical perfection but also for the photographer's bold and direct gaze on the vital essence of his subject. As photographer Edward Steichen wrote, "Look at the subject, think about it before photographing, look until it becomes alive and looks back at you."

Anderson back in Bow Valley
The big man with the big voice and thundering guitar will be back in the Bow Valley, July 22 to play The Banff Centre�s Shaw Amphitheatre.
Matt Andersen, a hard-working, hard-touring Maritime bluesman, is a winner of the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis and in 2011 won Maple Blues Awards for Entertainer of the Year and Acoustic Act of the Year and was nominated for four East Coast Music Association awards.
Andersen�s musical household got him interested playing early on and by junior high he was in the school band, first on tuba and later on trumpet. He took up guitar at 14, and before long was playing classic rock and top 40 covers in pub bands while he studied studio engineering. Things changed dramatically, however, when he discovered the blues.
�Through Eric Clapton I got into B.B. King, which led me to the Chicago electric stuff and eventually back to the Mississippi Delta guys,� he said. �What really hit me most about the blues was its total honesty.�
Matt began to build his name on the Canadian circuit, his imposing voice and slashing slide guitar making a lasting impression on audiences. He debuted with 2002�s One Size Never Fits, and followed with the likewise-warmly received Solo at Sessions (2004) and Live at Liberty House (2005).
He signed with Busted Flat Records for a string of exalted albums: 2007�s Second Time Around, 2008�s Something in Between, and 2009�s Piggyback (a duo set with harmonica king Mike Stevens) and Live at the Phoenix Theatre.
Andersen�s newest album, Coal Mining Blues, was produced by Colin Linden (who co-wrote and plays on several tunes) and recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York. There�s the self-explanatory �Work Hard for the Luxury,� and the title track, which rings true in mining communities from Cape Breton to Sheffield and West Virginia. But not all of Coal Mining Blues is about hard work, as rollicking up-tempo cuts like �Lay it on the Line� and �Fired Up� bear out.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m., opening band at 6:30 p.m. and Andersen takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at the box office, 1-800-413-8368 or 403-762-6301.

As part of the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex, located at the historic Chelsea Piers, the Golf Club perches over the same port that once welcomed ships into New York City. Now, golfers tee up in the driving range's 52 heated and weather-protected stalls, which overlook the glinting waters of the Hudson River. Automatic tee-up systems position balls for launch across the 200-yard, net-enclosed fairway. A putting green allows patrons to improve their short game, and two Full Swing simulators encourage them to take hacks in virtual environs, transporting them to famous courses across the country or fifth-grade birthday parties where they missed the piñata.
Children and adults alike can enlist in Golf Club at Chelsea Piers' classes, which stratify students by experience level. The 13-member coaching staff includes PGA and LPGA professionals, and sessions take place in a 2,000-square-foot teaching facility.
New York magazine reviewed New York Golf Center and named it a Critics' Pick.
Drive495 is more than just an indoor golf course and more than just a gym. The facility consists of a two-story loft space, with video-simulated golf courses above and a swanky gym and café below. Today's golf and fitness package provides two weeks of unrestricted membership to this compact urban country club, including:
Golf Manhattan's virtual-golf facility combines the experience of a day at the links with a wide variety of creature comforts and game-sharpening lessons. PGA tour simulators re-create more than 50 courses from the world over in immaculate detail, while clients swing provided clubs and practice golf-cart wheelies in cushy chairs. The launch monitor and simulator accurately plot the trajectory and physics of each shot onto digitized fairways, and track important statistics, such as ball-spin rate, launch angle, and how many virtual divots each player has to fill in. Lessons with Class-A PGA professionals, PGA apprentices, and teaching professionals correct slices and fades, and a 46-inch television in the golf lounge pipes in the latest news from PGA tours. An onsite locker area equipped with a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room limbers swinging arms for important skins games.
Lakeside breezes drift through dense tree lines and across the serpentine fairways of Silver Lake Golf Course's 18-hole, 6,238-yard layout. Hemmed by mature arbors, the course's narrow, unforgiving fairways prevent players from aggressively attacking its relatively short holes, encouraging golfers to doff their drivers or modified T-shirt cannons in favor of shorter clubs. Cresting hills give way to scenic views peppered throughout the course, where clubbers can pause to breathe in the fragrant scent of dew-covered grasses or look out onto the rippling waters of Silver Lake, which hugs the sides of multiple fairways. After an afternoon of tireless pin hunting, linksfolk can retire to the outdoor patio or indoor fireside seating of The Veranda Cafe to enjoy an icy beverage and scintillating games of spin-the-divot-tool.:m]]

The pristine, recently renovated fairways at Meadows Golf Club snake around 12 ponds that vary in size and factor into play-making decisions on at least 14 holes. Water makes itself a prevalent threat to golf balls that are afraid to swim on the 9th and 18th holes, where larger ponds loom ominously to finish out the front and back nines. The 9th, a 240-yard uphill par 3, demands steely nerved shots over two ponds: one that stretches past the tee box to the player's center-right and another that runs along the left all the way to the green. On the par 4 18th, players again face down a tee shot over water, this time being forced to keep their drive to the right to avoid water along the length of the fairway, as well as packs of ravenous ball washers that roam the course in search of prey.

April 2010 celebrity perfume news!
A lot of celebrities create perfumes with their names and some of stars participate in the creation of original flavored aroma and smells that are either very popular among customers, or not. Many of actors, musicians, models and socialites are the faces of popular fragrance brands.
Diane Kruger is the new face of Calvin Klein Fragrance called Beauty. The perfume will be launched in Fall 2010. The actress will make a series of photoshots and TV ads that will be seen around the world.
The Spanish actress Penelope Cruz is a new face of Lancôme's Trésor Fragrance. The ad campaign shot by famous photographer Mario Testino in Paris in April 2010.
Trésor was introduced in 1990. Earlier, L'Oréal worked for Trésor perfume ads with Kate Winslet, Isabella Rossellini and Uma Thurman.
Many celebrities make the perfumes not only to add this to resume, but for the benefit of others. For example, Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria introduced own signature scent for allergy. It allergy tested and approved.
Eva Longoria Parker evolved her own scent because she is allergic to many ingredients. The result of the work is sexy day fragrance, warm and fresh. Perfume Eva by Eva Longoria Parker was presented at her Beso restaurant in Los Angeles in April 2010.

Business Administration (BUAD)
What's the difference between Pfeiffer's business programs compared with those of other universities?
Pfeiffer prepares students for the challenges that confront all graduates in today's global world. Whether students focus on finance and banking, international business and marketing, management or economics, they are poised to influence their communities and the world.
It's the difference between talk and action.
Our focus on student engagement provides a solid foundation for what's to come in the professional world. Business administration students are encouraged to get involved in Phi Beta Lambda (Future Business Leaders of America), International Business Club, Global Pfeiffer Study, internships, andservice and mission trip opportunities to gain experience outside the classroom that is relevant to working in today's economy.
It's the difference between a job and a calling.
We help our students discover their passion and utilize their gifts to make a positive difference in the world. Sadly, 86 percent of adults believe there isno purpose or meaning in what they do at work. Exposure to a variety of business disciplines helps Pfeiffer students determine what they care most about. At the same time, strong relationships with faculty and within the business community provide a valuable network to take them anywhere.
It's the difference between a special place and any place.
At Pfeiffer, a focus on critical thinking enables students to formulate unique solutions to complex problems. Led by faculty, students gain the tools for making sound decisions that can be applied to all life situations. This is accomplished through small classes that allow students to engage in meaningful interaction with their professors, paving the way to connections with not only faculty but their professional networks as well.

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!
Wow it's been awhile, I realize I've been a little absent in this community and haven't been able to post as much photography work as I'd like to. This past year I've been really focused on my design work as it's my fourth and final year in my graphic design program. It makes me extremely anxious and excited that I'll finally be done school and facing 'the real world.'
I admit my interests in photography have shifted a little and developed a lot in the past year, I've started doing a lot more event photography and have really fallen in love with it. I'm really passionate about it as I am about graphic design, but I realize I rarely showcase my event photography and design work here on DeviantART. I wanted to have my own little place online where I can host all my work with a more immersive gallery. I really really appreciate for offering to host my site and helping me start this project! It's been a lot of hard work putting the site together and I hope you guys like it!

District Confident School Community Will 'Band Together' Post Sandy
Parents are encouraged to notify their children's principal, teacher or guidance counselor if they themselves are in need or if they know of anyone who is
After nearly a week of working toward recovery following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, Lacey schools will be opening on Monday.
Unable to communicate with residents and students who have been affected by the storm due to power outages, the district has expressed concerns regarding how they may be impacted.
"As Dr. (Superintendent Sandra) Brower posted on our website, a storm of this magnitude can be frightening and stressful to our students," Assistant Superintendent Dr. Vanessa Clark said. Concern for their safety can extend to concern for family, friends, and pets."
Extensive media coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy can add to the anxiety, she said.
"With all that said, returning to normal routines such as being in school is certainly an important first step toward helping our students and parents cope, which is why we are making every effort to reopen school on Monday," Clark said.
Parents are encouraged to notify their children's principal, teacher or guidance counselor if they themselves are in need or if they know of anyone who is. Any family with transportation concerns can call 732-664-1035 and leave a message, which will be returned. Additionally, the district is offering before- and after-school care at no charge Monday to Wednesday.
"It is difficult to ascertain what type and level of counseling should be offered until we have a sense of what those needs will be," Clark said.
Once communication is made available between the district and residents, there will be a better understanding of how Lacey families were affected, she said. Then, Director of Special Services Michael Maschi will work with guidance counselors to determine the level of services offered.
Having students get involved in the community can also help in the road towards recovery, Clark said.
"During an event such as this storm, it is important for students to feel that they are a making a difference," she said. "The Lacey Township School District has a long history of being part of so many great causes--collecting food for those in need during the Holidays, providing for our military men and women, raising funds for cancer awareness--the list is extensive."
Clark and Brower are confident the school community will "band together" and become involved in relief efforts to the Lacey community and locally, Clark said.
"We know that our students will benefit emotionally from getting involved in service projects and our teachers and administrators will make every effort to begin these types of projects as soon as our students return to the classroom," she said.
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
If you want a better understanding of how families were affected get in your car and drive around! What's wrong, too dangerous? But it's ok for kids to stand in the dark at the bus stops in the muck and the rubble?
If it is such a fantastic idea and children will reap such emotional benefits from this premature return, why is Lacey the ONLY district doing so?
Uncle Moe
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
It's UNREAL that they really plan on re-opening monday! Sandy B. should reconsider in light of what happened to many of us. Especially on Laurel. Now I have to get my kids ready when our house had 3 feet of water in it and is mostly ruined.
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I guess you didnt drive to the east side of Lacey.
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Please allow me to voice my opinion about opening school on Monday. Though I understand the need to regain a schedule and a sense of normalcy,I think we must consider the enormous burden this can place on parents and students are finding themselves homeless or in a home with no power. Some parents have children in several different places at this time. Some have yet to replace shoes or clothes. They have not established a routine for showers, meals, laundry and transportation. I witnessed first hand a near collapse when a family heard that with all they were managing, they must now try to manage school. Perhaps delayed opening and half days would benefit these families who have no power so the children are not waiting for a bus in the darkened streets of Lacey. Maybe a no homework or project announcement for the first week would comfort those seeking shelter and direction. I only ask that these things be considered from the perspective of the caregiver who is trying to find a place to live and eat. They do not need the stress of arriving on time or at all or finding supplies to complete assignments. Respectfully, please, consider these points.

How can schools open when so many students and staff are displaced. If this new superintendent was so concerned about our community why didnt she open the high school to assist students and family in organizing a clothing and food drive or better yet a soup kitchen so families without power can have a hot meal?
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I hate to ask such a trivial question, but are students going to school in halloween costumes on Monday?
2:48 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
Does anyone know if the schools will be open Thurs 11/8 & Fri 11/9 now? Are kids wearing costumes to school on Monday?
3:32 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I also feel that the superintendant should have shown concern by opening the high school for help, even if not as a shelter, as a charging station, drop off point for donations, etc......all the other surrounding school ditricts have used their schools to help out victims, why didn't Lacey????? Makes us look like we don't care.
3:32 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I believe school should be optional these next few days, more of a supervised arrangement that does not warrant teaching from a text book! This way if children are unable to get there due to unavoidable circumstances they won't be missing anything. The children that are able to go can socialize with friends they haven't seen in a week or so and review lessons they have already learned.
3:32 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I heard that yes, they are going in costume. Personally, I think that they should assess tomorrow and pick a day later in the week...tomorrow should be about finding normalcy and discussing with the kids not jumping into a party. There are kids homeless possibility coming from shelters... but that is just my opinion.
3:32 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I feel this is a heartless act by not only the superintendent but the school board as well. East of Lacey Rd. is in shambles and you expect these children and families to pull it all together to attend school? These people need at least another week to get back on their feet before a sense of "normalcy" can be reached. Shame on Superintendent Brower.
3:32 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
It is UNREAL that they are opening schools! Take this from a high school student. Normalcy? It's not normal to go to school after a hurricane came and destroyed homes in our district and flooded streets. I haven't been home since last sunday. My street was flooded, and I still don't have power there. The homes just two blocks away where flooded with 3 feet of water, but I guess the district could care less. This is INSENSITIVE. We are the only district in Ocean County resuming school this early. It really shows how much the schoolscare about the students.

No costumes on Monday as many won't have access for supplies for their costumes. So far looks like the schools will be closed Thurs and Fri as planned. I for one am glad my kids will be able to go back this week. I don't think those families displaced are really expected to send their kids back this week, but the rest of us really NEED the return to school and normalcy. Are those people so affected gong to feel like things are normal miraculously on the 12th? When you feel like you are ready, then send your kids back. I saw so many people out helping and donating and working at the shelters set up at the churches. Can we focus on the positive responses instead of what was NOT done?
8:12 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
There was far more not done in my opinion. Many people in Lacey aren't ready to go back, that's why there are so many negative comments obviously.
8:12 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I didn't mean to be insensitive when using the word normalcy. It is just that starting a routine back to school might alleviate the misery outside of school and put students in a situation to be back to something that is familiar. I will not be sending my daughter to school tomorrow with her costume on in respect to those who are still hurting....I wonder why the Superintendent made this decision? Was it a step at picking up the pieces maybe? My heart is sadden for anyone without power or resources...I have been donating and will be volunteering this week with my husband as well.
8:12 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
I agree with agreewiththelaw comments
But would like to see a delayed opening as well for the safety of our students and buses .

Instead of having school closed on Thursday and Friday, Would it not make sense to just switch and close on Monday and Tuesday? As it is my understanding the teachers convention is canceled

I am very stressed tonight with the thought of back to school tomorrow. Our street is still closed with no power. We are fortunate to be staying with family and thankful I was able to keep my family all together during this tragedy. I know I am lucky and have a home to go back to eventually. However, I had to rummage around my dark home with flashlights to find backpacks and lunch bags and clothes. Yes, my fault I did not think of it earlier in the day, but when you are displaced and evacuated you don't think clearly. A quick stop at Walmart go grab what the kids will need for lunches in school, wait make that two stops because I forgot drinks. Again, my fault but again it is difficult to think clearly. Now in the morning I need to figure out how to get my children ready for school without disrupting the family members of where we are staying and drive my children to and from school. I am also concerned if my children are going to do ok in school since they are not in our home right now and out of normalcy. Maybe they need the distraction... I will find out. Yes I know, I have it easy compared to people whom have lost everything in our community. I think an additional week would have really helped many people settle back home and regain power before returning to school. My point is I am not enduring nearly as much as others are and it is hard and stressful.

For all those wondering...Dr. Brower said that elementary students will be encouraged by their principals to wear their costume on Tuesday for celebrations but since trick or treating is scheduled for Monday, students can also come dressed in their costumes tomorrow. A decision about Thursday and Friday will be made by Monday at 1 p.m.

1. | Armenia | ||
The country responsible for producing the most kickass band in the world: System of a Down. System pwnz!
2. | armenia | ||
A country whose main population was displaced by the 1915 Turkish genocide, still denied by Turkey 90 years on.
Ah, no matter, that didn't stop Armenians making the world rock. System of a Down, Zildjian cymbals and even the one and only MADDOX are Armenian! You can tell an Armenian surname if it ends in either -ian or -yan. "Name just ONE thing that damned country gave us!"
"System..." "Oh...shit.....ok, name another! Yeah!" "Zildjian." "Shit." "Maddox" "..." |
3. | armenia | ||
A country nearly eradicated by genocide by the Turks. If anyone denies this happed, they've never read history or examined the cold hard facts. The other person who defined this term needs to enrol in a class on brains. The Nazi Holocaust in Germany is comparable to the Armenian genocide.
4. | armenia | ||
You know you're Armenian when...
1. Asked where he's from, your dad may reply "I'm hye." People will never look at you the same way. 2. You're last name ends with either "ian" or "yan". 3. You live in Los Angeles County. If you don't many of your relatives do, in the areas north of Hollywood. (Glendale, Burbank, etc.) 4. Your family considers the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide a national day of mourning. 5. Your parents are still holding a grudge over the genocide, and hate Turks with a passion. 6. Church is attended as a social event. 7. Often, when your family meets other Armenians, it's realized that you're all related. 8. Dolmeh: You either hate it or love it. 9. Though you are not rich, you enjoy luxuries such as brand name clothing, jewlery, nice cars, and more. 10. After watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", you were shocked to realize that your own relatives resemble many of the characters. 11. Your parents were probably born in Iran, and fled the country before or during the war. 12. Though you were never taught the language, you are able to understand Iranian (Fa... |
5. | Armenia | ||
Armenians ARE white. Just because you've seen ONE picture of an Armenian on the internet with a tan-like skin color doesn't mean they're not white. Why do you think Italian males have a tan-like skin color too? It's all due to exposure from the sun. Armenian and Italian males' skin color changes to a tan color when exposed to the sun. Armenians ARE European. Don't believe the propaganda you hear or read on the internet on how we're not Europeans. People who give propaganda like that say we're one of the following: Asian, Middle Eastern or Muslim and the people who say that have no idea who we Armenians are, and have NO culture of their own. Modern day Armenia is a mountainous country, with a beautiful lake. Armenian grandmother's are heaven's angels, and overall, we're kind, honest and funny people. You can easily get along with Armenians. Ancient Armenia stretched out to the three nearby seas: Caspian, Black and Mediterranean. The two countries that hate us, Azerbaijan and Turkey, hate us because we are far more superior than them and are, by far, more advanced in everything than they are. Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide because their brain doesn't function too well. Me: Armenia is a cool country, don't you think?
Tom: What's Armenia? Me: Go fuck yourself... |
6. | Armenia | ||
The country where the world's leading cymbal and drumstick maker Zildjian comes from. Zildjian rawks my socks!
7. | Armenia | ||
A country which has seen well over its share of hardships. Yes, we are strong nationalists and we are closely knit. Armenian Martyr's day is a solemn day, our Patron saints are Vartan and Gregory the Illuminator.
There is a large diaspora of Armenians throughout the world. We can be found in Indonesia, Australia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Syria, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, France, Italy, the UK, Argentina, the U.S. and of course Armenia. We were butchered by the Ottoman Turks for being Armenian, Christian or both from 1915-1925. The Turkish government still denies this though most educated Turks state that 1 million Armenians indeed were killed by the Turkish government. Stating this fact is still against Turkish law, which seems a little suspicious. Those who are even semi-educated do not deny the Genocide, but I guess that cannot be said about some. We are normally large people with dark hair and dark brown eyes. Some though are Aryan, but they are oddly called Cossacks for some strange reason. We are devout Christians, and take pride in the fact that in the early 4th century, Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity. There is a long, great and epic history I could tell you know but that would take too long. Armenia is an incredibly persistent nation, having survived for so long and outlasting countless rivals.

I used these as party treats for the girls at my daughters party. I put princess bubbles, notepad and stickers in them and wrapped them in a clear plastic and put them in these cups.

This WhisperFit fan has an enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. Because a small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly, this fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which also helps keep the noise down.
This bathroom fan will also provide overhead lighting (and night lighting) as well. One 32-watt compact fluorescent lamp (included) will provide plenty of overhead lighting while the convenient, 4-watt nightlight will help you find your way through the room in the dark.
The fan housing is made of painted heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel, with a permanently lubricated motor to deliver trouble-free operation. It has a built-in back-draft damper, and features to make installation easy, such as detachable adapters, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing, and uncomplicated wiring. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Of course, WhisperFit fans are ENERGY STAR qualified and exceptionally energy efficient.

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)
The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is an ambitious project launched in April 2013 with the aim to bring together and make freely available to the world the resources from libraries, archives and museums across the United States.
The DPLA offers a single point of access to millions of items, from photographs to manuscripts, books, sounds, moving images and more. Users can browse and search the collections by timeline, map, format, and topic; save items to customized lists and share their lists with others. Users can also explore digital exhibitions curated by the DPLA's content partners and staff.
The DPLA aims to expand this crucial realm of openly available materials, and make those riches more easily discovered and more widely usable and used, through its three main elements:
- First, an easy-to-use portal where anyone can access collections and search through them using novel and powerful techniques, including by place and time.
- Second, a sophisticated technical platform that will make those millions of items available in ways so that others can build creative and transformative applications upon them, such as smartphone apps.
- Third, along with like-minded institutions and individuals the DPLA will seek innovative means to make more cultural and scientific content openly available, and it will advocate for a strong public option for reading and research in the twenty-first century.

The LibrarySchool
The LibrarySchool initiative was started some years ago within the world of the public libraries. In a society in transition, and in a time where more has to be done with less, the LibrarySchool wants to offer a for 'high potentials' within the library sector to develop new products. Initiator Bruynzeels hopes the community will become 'a breeding ground for new ideas and innovations, where everybody learns from each other and is student and teacher at the same time'. The LibrarySchool will train future innovators but is also a community where students and colleagues share knowledge and gain new insights and so take library innovation forward. By establishing a direct link with everyday library practice, the School contributes to enhancing the innovative capacity of the sector as a whole.
The Difference that Makes a Difference: an interdisciplinary workshop on information and technology
As we move further into the 'information age', we need to make the bridge between information of the information technologist and understanding of information in other disciplines. As researchers and practitioners in diverse fields grapple with an understanding of information – what it is, how it can be modelled and tools for coping with it – now more than ever is the time to share insights and bring some clarity and coherence to these differing perspectives.
Each session focuses on the way in which information is conceptualised within a different set of disciplines – philosophy, science, business/education and social science. In each case, the relationship between technical disciplines and these other fields is taken to be paramount. The goal of the workshop at each stage is to create conversations across disciplines, but especially between technical and non-technical disciplines.
BOBCATSSS is an annual symposium organised by students at a number of universities in Europe. It takes place under the auspieces of EUCLID (European Association for Library and Information Education and Research) and deals with themes from library and information science.
Europe's New libraries Together In Transversal Learning Environments
ENTITLE is a multilateral project under LLP KA4 Dissemination and Exploitation of Results, designed to support and extend the progress made to date by Europe's public libraries in supporting learning for all age groups and sections of society, by disseminating, consolidating and enhancing the work of key existing networks, projects and initiatives in this area.
An important question for the libraries community and their partners in the formal and non-formal education sectors relates to the question of the role which libraries can play in delivering agendas.
Public libraries have a number of natural advantages including: their strong roots in local communities, a tradition of partnership with schools and provision of learning-oriented services of various kinds for children; and an increasingly established role as part of Lifelong Learning 'landscape'. There is a strong political assumption, both implicit and explicit, that informal/non-formal learning organisations such as libraries have a vital job to do by supporting individual learners' needs, providing them with choices and flexibility, helping people to continue and return to learning, enabling adults to get a job or qualification, signposting and inspiring people to take up other courses, helping children to learn and supporting schools in diversifying children's experiences.
The specific case for investment in this area needs to be demonstrated more fully, conclusively and measurably to policy makers and funders in the many and various national and local environments across Europe. Exploitation of project results, deployment and mainstreaming of innovative activities and services remains inconsistent across EU member states as whole. Even within many member states effective co-ordination in support of nation-wide deployment is lacking.
Libraries themselves need to embed more thoroughly into their policies an elearning culture and to find ways of measuring and demonstrating their impact on people's learning. A greater effort to spread awareness of the results of successful initiatives across Europe in addition to the development of a framework which will help to convince education and cultural policy makers that Europe's libraries have a key role and to determine where their major value lies in delivering new learning agendas appears essential in order to ensure the full exploitation of this valuable resource.
The main objectives of this project will therefore be:
- to identify, describe and disseminate the many instances of good practice, specific services, tools and approaches used for learning in public library settings, building on work conducted under a number of different actions, in order to support the multiplication and mainstreaming of these activities and to enable a fuller understanding of their contribution to Europe's learning agendas, backed up by recommendations to Member States and the EU for supporting and extending the contribution of this part of the informal sector to lifelong learning policies and actions.
- to provide an evidence-based framework for further and wider comparison and exploitation of these results within and between countries, especially where this relates to impact on learners, with potential for future use in the context of comparative research studies.
The key results of ENTITLE will include:
- the production of guidelines and recommendations; the establishment of a web-based dissemination environment for guidelines, recommendations and case studies;
- consultation and the promotion of innovation via a series of national workshops; the establishment of an impact assessment framework which will contribute to the comprehension of the whole learning sector of the specific contributions which are being and can be made by libraries;
- provision of a basis for future comparison, experience sharing and assessment of progress.
These results will be valorised and endorsed by means of a Final Conference for policy makers.

Babin defends tweets questioning fan loyalty; said he heard "vile" chants at the Linc

Babin defends tweets questioning fan loyalty; said he heard "vile" chants at the Linc
Jeff McLane, Inquirer Staff Writer
Jason Babin defended a series of tweets he posted on Tuesday that questioned the loyalty of some Eagles fans.
The Eagles defensive end said that he was reacting to chants about Andy Reid and other Eagles that were coming from some fans at Lincoln Financial Field during Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Falcons.
"Some of the most vile things I've ever heard," Babin called the chants. "Talking about people's wives and kids and chanting them. I just thought there's no place for that in the NFL."
Babin, one of the more outspoken players in the Eagles locker, took to Twitter on Tuesday, he said, to defend Reid, defensive line coach Jim Washburn and his teammates. He posted the following over two tweets:
"LOYALTY: loy·al·ty: noun, plural loy·al·ties: The state or quality of being loyal; faithfulness to commitments or obligations ... There are 17 teams with the same record or worse than us. Thanks for being loyal fans.......We'll get it right."
The Eagles are 3-4 and head to New Orleans for Monday night's game against the Saints. Fan frustration continues to climb with each loss. Apathy is also starting to set in. The Linc was more than half empty at the start of the fourth quarter with the Eagles trailing, 27-10.
Babin, who leads the team with 2-1/2 sacks, said that's around when he started to hear the chants that he said were coming from a section near the Eagles' side of the field.
"It was upsetting that a few bad apples were chanting that kind of stuff," Babin said, adding: "I don't even want to repeat what I heard, it was that bad. And I've got a pretty high threshold for adult jokes."
- HeelYes
pull a con, get a big contract, mail it in.
show us ANYthing beyond sprint upfield, look back over your shoulder to see the play, rinse and repeat.
you want vile? watch some game tape.
friggin loser raoool- JimG
After a loss, all you hear is how Andy is responsible and he needs to do a better job putting the players in a better position to make plays. Before the games, fans are ready to cheer, clap, scream, and whatever they can to help the Eagles win! Then we watch a team that looks like they either can't make plays, or are just going thru the motions. The fans are hungry for a winner! 3-4 record is misleading, They have not played anywhere close to their talents/abilities. That is not the fans fault is it? RadicalDad- AreaMan

Another thing, is it coincidence that after those vials of "unknown substance" fell into the polices hands that the whole D line has become a bunch of bums?? just wondering... DaFatman- somertonspartan
- Ssteve115
- briman
- delcodanno
- Babin should STFU he is one of the biggest reasons the fans are booing. That being said, any reference to Andy's son are out of line, way out of line

Hi, I'm using Spring JDBCTemplate, Weblogic 8.16
When I used Spring 1.2.8, it worked fine, but with 2.0 RC3 I'm getting following Weblogic warnings:
<29.08.2006 16:39:42 EEST> <Warning> <JDBC> <BEA-001074> <A JDBC pool connection leak was detected. A connection leak occurs when a connection obtained from the pool was not closed explicitly by calling close() and then was disposed by the garbage collector and returned to the connection pool. The following stack trace at create shows where the leaked connection was created. JTAConnection leaked due to using it in xa mode without close it.>
My code:
JdbcTemplate jdbc = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
long[] tehingArray = new long[]{1,2};
ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("TABLE_OF_NUMBER" , dataSource.getConnection() );
oracle.sql.ARRAY array = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(descriptor, dataSource.getConnection(), tehingArray);
Object[] args = {array};
String stmt = "update table r set r.field=? where id in (select * from table(cast(? as TABLE_OF_NUMBER))))";
Seems like jdbc.update does not close the connection?

Welcome to AFT's FACE Campaign |
AFT's Faculty and College Excellence (FACE) initiative is a national campaign to reverse the crisis in instructional staffing at our nation's colleges and universities. Through organizing, legislative advocacy and collective bargaining, FACE is designed to achieve two goals simultaneously:
The campaign goals are designed to be phased in over time to ensure that there is no job loss for contingent faculty currently working at a college or university. For more information about the FACE campaign, read our Call to Action.
- The median pay per course, standardized to a three-credit course, was $2,700 in fall 2010, and ranged from a low of $2,235 at two-year colleges to a high of $3,400 at four-year doctoral or research universities.
- Part-time faculty respondents saw little, if any, wage premium based on their credentials.
- Professional support was minimal for part-time faculty members' work outside the classroom and for their inclusion in academic decision-making.
- The
median pay per course, standardized to a three-credit course, was $2,700 in
fall 2010, and ranged from a low of $2,235 at two-year colleges to a high of
$3,400 at four-year doctoral or research universities.
- Part-time faculty respondents saw little, if any, wage premium based on their credentials.
- Professional support was minimal for part-time faculty members' work outside the classroom and for their inclusion in academic decision-making. "Clearly, part-time faculty are undersupported," says Bonnie Halloran, president of the Lecturers' Employee Organization at the University of Michigan. "Part-time faculty [at the University of Michigan] have phones, offices and access to support staff through our collective bargaining agreement. But we have less access to professional development opportunities, even though we make up 33 to 50 percent of the faculty across the University of Michigan's three campuses."
- Part-time teaching is not necessarily temporary employment, and those teaching part time do not necessarily prefer a part-time to a full-time position. More than 80 percent of respondents reported teaching part time for more than three years, and more than half, for more than six years. And 75 percent of respondents said they have sought, are now seeking, or will be seeking, a full-time tenure-track position.
- In addition to gathering information about their academic background and other personal characteristics, the survey asked part-time faculty respondents to provide data for each course they taught-a total of 19,615 courses. Course loads varied significantly among respondents. Slightly more than half taught one or two courses during the fall 2010 term, while slightly fewer than half taught three or more courses.
Colleges and universities are relying ever more heavily on part-time faculty while failing to support them adequately. The extent of that failure-and its impact on the majority of the higher education instructional workforce-is documented in a new survey released this week by the Coalition on the Academic Workforce.
Currently, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education, 1.3 million of the 1.8 million faculty providing instruction in two- and four-year institutions are part-time or adjunct faculty, teaching off the tenure track.
Yet, according to CAW, higher education employers pay part-time faculty poorly, fail to provide them the kind of academic and work supports that most professionals rely on to do their jobs, and don't attach rewards or incentives to the credentials their academic employees hold or earn. They also continue to offer part-time employees work deemed "temporary," despite the fact that their reliance on part-time faculty seems to be a permanent trend.
The survey, "A Portrait of Part-Time Faculty Members," was conducted during the fall semester of 2010 and was open to any faculty member or instructor who wished to complete a questionnaire. CAW received 28,974 responses. Faculty members in part-time positions were the largest group of respondents, providing 10,331 of the 19,850 valid responses by contingent faculty members and instructors who were teaching at least one course in fall 2010.
The survey's key findings include:
CAW is a group of higher education associations, disciplinary associations and faculty organizations committed to working on the issues associated with deteriorating faculty working conditions and their effect on the success of college and university students in the United States. The AFT is a leading member of the group and a chief supporter of the survey.
One of the primary features of the academic staffing crisis, says CAW, is that information available on the working conditions of part-time faculty is minimal. The Department of Education used to collect significant data on faculty, but funding has dried up. As a result, the large and growing majority employed in contingent positions are rendered largely invisible, both as individuals on the campuses where they work and collectively in the ongoing policy discussions of higher education.
"In order to a solve a problem, you have to understand it," says Sandra Schroeder, chair of the AFT Higher Education program and policy council, president of AFT Washington and an AFT vice president. "The plight of contingent faculty is one of the most urgent problems we face in higher education. This survey will give us crucial information about the next steps to take toward systemic improvements so that students are better served in our colleges and universities."

First it was the "papers please" law, which allowed law enforcement agents to demand proof of immigration status from anyone they felt might be undocumented. That law drew strong condemnation from the AFT Executive Council .
Then it was State Superintendent John Huppenthal and his predecessor, state attorney general Tom Horne going after the widely admired Mexican American Studies program in the Tucson Unified School district. Citing a law he was instrumental in getting passed, Huppenthal has banned MAS in the schools.
Now, Huppenthal is trying to censure the University of Arizona faculty who helped design the innovative MAS program.
An independent evaluation published by the Annenberg Institute shows the MAS program's student-centered approach is working. Students in the MAS program far outperformed their peers on Arizona's state standardized tests in reading (by 45 percentage points), writing (by 59 percentage points), and math (by 33 percentage points), and they enroll in post-secondary institutions at a rate of 67 percent, well above the national average.
Yet Huppenthal says such study promotes racial resentment.
Arizona faculty and professional staff are circulating a petition that calls on Huppenthal and the Arizona state legislature to cease and desist with their attacks on university faculty and to reinstate the Mexican American studies curriculum in the Tucson schools. They will deliver it June 14th.
Please join the AFT in its support of Arizona colleagues and
on to the petition.
Let's hear a great big AFT welcome to the part-time faculty at Kalamazoo Valley Community College in Michigan. The Michigan Employment Relations Commission counted the ballots yesterday, and by a 162-38 margin, contingent faculty members overwhelming chose representation by the KVCC Federation of Teachers, AFT-Michigan's newest affiliate.
Part-time faculty members at KVCC heralded the win as a step forward in gaining respect for the work that they do:
"The term 'part-time' or 'non-tenure-track' does not denote 'inferior,'" said Dr. Catherine Barnard, a part-time psychology instructor of 15 years. "Years of service and dedication to our students should be rewarded. We have earned the right to fair compensation, academic freedom, and timely semester appointments. Our level of education, professionalism, and commitment to our students is equivalent to that of the full-time tenured faculty."
Congratulations to the KVCCFT organizing committee on a job well done, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with you as you prepare to negotiate your first contract!
The response to our Just Ask! college guide (which we produced with the American School Counselor Association) has been overwhelming, and we certainly hope that many of your are finding it useful in determining which college is right for you or your loved ones. Now, we are pleased to announce a Spanish language translation of the guide: ¡Sólo Pregunte!: ¿Qué Universidad es la adecuada para usted? We hope that Spanish-speaking prospective students and their families, as well as education professionals who work with Spanish-speaking prospective students, find this to be a useful tool for selecting an institution of higher education.
You can find both the English and Spanish versions of the Just Ask! college guide on the Just Ask! link under the FACE Toolkit tab above.
