Accompanying Exam Next Week-do I Do It?, Teacher can't play accompaniment (yet) |

I go into the local primary school on a voluntary basis to help with "music". Coming up to music exams this translates as helping the children playing violins with pieces, scales, sight reading, aural work... I am accompanying them in their exams, also playing for one of my own doing grade 1 flute.
There is a young teacher in the school who has been given the job partly based on her meeting the criteria of minimum grade 7 piano (she has grade 8). she is accompanying a couple of clarinet exams & is supposed to be accompanying a child playing Tuxedo Junction & the Policeman's Song for grade 2 trumpet. The problem is that she can't play the 1st piece adequately & the exams are in a week. It's not that she's not had enough time to work on it - she's had it since Easter. I went over it with her & explained how to simplify the walking bass line. Do I offer to play it? - let her off the hook as it were. Disadvantages for me are that I will need to spend some time playing over the other piece & time is something I'm a bit short of. i've got my own exam the next day & i know my nerves will be frayed by accompanying 4 other children, never mind my own exam. If I offer to do it will she see me as the easy way out whenever anything difficult comes up? She gets paid for this whereas I'm doing it in my own time, to try & help the children. Why can't she play it ?- look at my signature -I haven't grade 8 piano, yet I sorted it. Do I do what's right for the child who is very able & deserves a chance to play her best? Or what?? |

i do think you have quite enough on your plate...i don't mean to be selfish....but you can't have that much time to deal with every thing.... prehaps you can ask a friend to help you...

Yes, concentrate on your own exam, the acompanist should have been able to play it by now though. The examiner would be marking the child anyway, and if they can clearly see that the accompanist isn't play it well, then they'll take that into consideration maybe.

I think you might cause a little ill-feeling if you offered to play. If you are asked, that's a different matter. If the accompanist is unsatisfactory this time it will get around and you will probably be asked to accompany next time. Hope all goes well.

I already have been asked by the mother of the child & by the head.

Or do it this time, but don't do it again? If the accompaniment isn't satisfactory, the child isn't going to be the best she can! And you said yourself they are able.

It's not fair of them to put pressure on you if you've also got an exam. If you didn't have an exam I think it would be totally different, but there are times when you have to put yourself first. I had to learn to say no to people and it's hard! I have to though otherwise I'd be snowed under with no time to myself!

I'd be inclined to let the other teacher get on with it. She has got some responsibility for music so its her job and she should be more than capable of accompanying exams. If she got a job partly based on her ability to play the piano and she can't then she should be exposed and the job given to someone who is competent. Its not fair that this pressure is being put on you and as a volunteer I hope this school value all the work you do. Sorry if this seems a bit harsh. I am tired of having to 'rescue' students of incompetent teachers who think they are better than they are. Saying no is hard, but as I'm beginning to learn, it gets easier with practice! Don't let them pressure you or make you feel guilty. Your time is important and someone who has passed grade 8 should be able to practice the pieces ( if she couldn't sight read them) from Easter and know them by now. Obviously she's not prepared to do it so why should you?

You probably will because you seem like a nice person and it can be very hard to say no! :P
If you manage to say no, I hope that goes well. It sounds like you have already taken a lot on for one exam session! But, if you do it, I hope you will get something positive from it, and find it useful experience - both of performing, and learning to say "Just this once, but never again"(at least, never at short notice with no pay ;) again...) - and meaning it! Good luck, whatever you decide. Hopefully if you stress how hard it is for you this time, the circumstance will not arise again and in future you will be able to say you did your bit last time.

QUOTE(Andy-piano-flute @ Jun 13 2005, 01:19 PM) I think that the word distinction in your signature and the requirement for a grade 8 pass might explain that one... I agree with what other people have said: don't do it, the children won't suffer as much as it would appear so long as the accompanist can keep going (or they can ignore them) as the examiners don't mark the accompanist and ignore them as much as they possibly can. They may even decide that on the day they were let down by the accompanist and that affected their performance by two marks, or whatever, that they can then award to them anyway. |

I only managed a pass for my Grade 8, but I think I could've sorted out Grade 4 violin accompaniment hands down. :angry: (faking anger) I don't see why that teacher of hers can't sort it just before the exam. Maybe she needs a push like this to get her to sort out her piano skills. :P |

I'm just listening to the Glen Miller band playing Tuxedo Junction on CD. May I suggest that some people - whatever qualifications they may have otherwise - just can't get their heads round this style. Is the teacher one of these? Also, you can pass Grade 8 sight reading with minimal ability at it - I speak from experience! I feel sorry for all concerned here.

Thanks for all the replies - a lot of good points in them.
Suepea : I think you have a very good point there - have now told her in some parts to concentrate on getting the bass line in & forget the right hand. Fred: Yes it's very hard to say no but I think i have managed to indirectly indicate that I really can't do any more. Noodle: Do they value what I do? Not too sure about that - especially the teacher in question. For instance arranging my day yesterday so i could go into the school for a runthrough with the ones I am accompanying - going into the school & after 5 minutes being asked "how long are you going to be with the piano because we want to use it!" (This was not the first occasion on which this has happened) These children have an exam in less than a week & they rate some class singing as more important. :angry: Let's face it I'm not doing it for the money cos I don't get paid & at the minute it is leaving me feeling depressed & demoralised. When I was asked to listen to the rendition of the piece causing the problems it was obviously being played much faster than the child was comfortable with - apparently the child hadn't even been asked to hum the speed she wanted to play at or play the first few bars on her own. I thought 1 of the roles of the accompanist was to follow the soloist not to expect them to follow you. Is that just total inexperience or a lack of commonsense.? |

This reminds me of a Grade 8 student I had a few years ago who was using the college accompanist. The pianist told her she was playing her pieces too slowly and needed to get them much faster - one week before the exam! I told her to stick to the speed she was comfortable with, and she ended up getting 25 and 26 for them. When I told the accompanist the marks she had got, she looked at me in disbelief. :o If she'd played them at the speed the accompanist wanted her to take them she'd have been lucky to pass. |

Apparently the phone lines and cyberspace at Town Hall were filled with "mixed" reviews concerning the weekend's Lyons Outdoor Games on Monday. Some thought the event was "bigger and better than ever," while others feared for their lives (and the well being of their pets) because of the fireworks, loud music, and rowdy behavior. According to Town Administrator Victoria Simonsen, she, Town Staff, and event organizers will be sitting down sometime next week to "debrief" and try to determine what worked well, and what needs to be adjusted.

A couple of weeks ago it was a movie crew filming "Dear Eleanor," Tuesday morning at 6:45 a.m., it was a news crew from the Fox Network in Denver visiting Lyons to do a "live remote" about the extreme fire danger in Colorado. Why Lyons?
Well, Monday afternoon while he and his crew were attending a medical assist for a mountain biker who had gone over his handlebars up at Hall Ranch, Fire Chief J.J. Hoffman got a call about a wildfire starting up on Eagle Ridge Road just east of Lyons. Due to a quick response and a lot of luck, Hoffman and a second crew were able to contain the fire to a little less than an acre of grass and some tree

A "hub" can be defined as, "The central part of a wheel, rotating on or with the axle, and from which the spokes radiate" or "A place or thing that forms the effective center of an activity, region, or network."
The time is nigh for defining the potential hub of Lyons.
Last Wednesday, May 29, at 7 p.m., at Lyons Valley Village, an open public meeting was held toward this end. Information was gathered from the roughly sixty attendees at this visioning session, where maps were offered for clarification, bubble diagramming and insights from experts

Think of how many times you have signed up to a website and given your name, date of birth, email and even phone number. Most people will only give this kind of information to a website they 'trust', but what kind of websites can we trust? Just because a website seems genuine and has what appears to be an authentic interface doesn't make it trustable. And what does it mean to trust a website anyway? Does the data stay private? Stored in a secure data base? Either way, it's obtainable, regardless of the type of website it is. Should we care?
There are organizations which work solely on making copies of the internet. Every webpage that has ever been online is saved using sophisticated algorithms and code. An example of this is Gaddafi's website. When the Libyans revolted against the oppressive regime which rules them, Gaddafi's website was taken down. Many celebrated this deletion but others were concerned that digital history has been wiped. Thanks to the organization which saved the website, Gaddafi's official site is still available. Essentially, everything is recovered in the digital world. You can't delete data, you can only replace it. Any sort of content you share online, in whatever format will be stored, forever. Even if you take down the picture you were being an idiot in, it's still there and it's attainable.
Let's face it; we are living in an age where we don't have a choice on what is known about us. Government authorities know your address and every other piece of information about you, that's the law. Facebook knows your email, what friends you interact with, what topics you discuss online and a lot more. If you use any e-
Did you know that you can buy data? You can buy names with phone numbers, at cheap rates. Your own data has probably been a business generator for companies, and you never knew about it.
A friend of mine called jack has his name set to 'Steve Bob' on Facebook. I asked him curiously about this random name he assigned himself, and he responded saying that he doesn't want to be tracked down. I later asked him, do you have a credit card, and he sheepishly responded yes. Need I say more?
There is no way out. You and everything about you is in the hands of the government. Unless you are an anonymous spy from a new action film, your chances are pretty slim to remain a free man. As long as you follow the rules and behave yourself, why should you be afraid or worried anyway? Also, on the flipside, for the government to have information on everybody makes many feel safe. Identifying and tracking down a criminal is a lot easier than it used to be years ago, and that specific criminal could have inflicted you with misery. Surely you would want to see the burglar of your house put to justice, right?
There are two sides to the coin, and in this case it applies no less. It's just worth bearing in mind that we are not anonymous.

Poultry Preparation
/ Giblets and Food Safety
Giblets and Food Safety
(pronounced JIBB-letz; also GIBB-letz) are the heart, liver and gizzard of poultry. The word comes from Middle English "gibelet," which in turn came from "gibier" — Old French for "game." The English altered the word to "giberet," and it formerly meant "a game stew." Today many cooks use giblets to make gravy; others broil or fry them to make appetizers or main dishes. Here is some background information about poultry giblets.

What Are Giblets?
Giblets are defined as the heart, liver, and gizzard of a poultry carcass. Although often packaged with them, the neck of the bird is not a giblet.
is the muscular organ that pumps blood through the body of the bird.
has numerous functions in digestion and absorption of foods. Its primary function in digestion and absorption is the production of bile. Bile facilitates the solubilization and absorption of dietary fats and the excretion of certain
is the mechanical "stomach" of a bird. It is located just after the true or glandular stomach in the gastrointestinal system. Since poultry have no teeth and swallow feed whole, this muscular organ, sometimes called "hen's teeth," mechanically grinds and mixes the bird's feed.
Top of Page
How Are They Inspected?
All poultry found in retail stores is either inspected by USDA or by state systems which have standards equivalent to the federal government. At the time of slaughter each bird and its internal organs are inspected for signs of disease. The "Inspected for Wholesomeness by the U.S. Department of Agriculture" seal ensures that the bird and giblets are free from visible signs of disease.
In a poultry slaughter plant, giblets must be chilled to 40 °F or below within two hours of slaughtering the birds. Each hour, plant employees sample the finished poultry and giblets. The product is checked for conditions not meeting inspection standards, and proper trimming to make sure all inedible portions have been removed. Proper trimming refers to removal of the heart cap, removal of the gizzard lining, and removal of the gall bladder. USDA inspectors sample the product twice a shift to check for conditions that do not meet inspection standards. Anything that does not meet inspection standards is not used for human consumption.
Top of Page
Are Giblets Graded?
No, inspection is mandatory but grading is voluntary. There are no grading standards for giblets.
Top of Page
How Are Giblets Packaged and Labeled?
In whole ready to cook poultry, giblets are located in a bag in the abdominal cavity.
They will not be from the original bird.
Giblets may also be purchased separately as livers, hearts, or a combination thereof, and labeled accordingly.
Ready to cook whole poultry is required to be packaged with giblets and will not bear a product name qualifier to announce the presence of the giblets as they are expected. If a bird is labeled "with giblets," it is optional labeling.
Whole poultry will contain at least half of each giblet. Parts of the giblets may have broken off during handling or may be missing due to trimming. Some are packed into the body cavity of the bird by hand and some are packed by machine.
USDA allows poultry processors to use labels stating that giblets may be missing — or, "without giblets" (commonly known as "wogs" in the poultry industry). Giblets may be lost or broken or may have been pulled from the processing line for not meeting inspection standards. Birds packed without giblets are required to bear labeling that states the giblets are missing. Likewise, the phrase "giblets may be missing" is a flag to alert the consumer that giblets may not be present.
Top of Page
What Color is Normal for Livers?
Normal poultry livers range in color from tan or yellow to deep mahogany red. A yellow liver indicates a fattier liver. The color variation depends on what the bird ate last and has nothing to do with the
of the bird.
Occasionally a liver may be a shade of
. Green livers are condemned at the slaughter plant and are rarely seen by consumers. The green coloring is due to bile leaching out from the gallbladder and into the liver. Bile is a yellow or greenish fluid secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Its function in the body is to aid in the emulsification and absorption of fats.
Green livers are not harmful if eaten but are removed and condemned in the slaughter plant for aesthetic reasons. Sometimes the gallbladder or a portion of it remains attached to the liver. It looks like a "green pill". In the plant the gallbladders are removed by hand or machine and occasionally one is missed inadvertently. It can be removed in the home and the liver consumed with no problems.
It is safe to eat the meat of poultry regardless of the color of the liver it contains. Remember the giblets are not packaged with the original bird.
Top of Page
Safe Handling of Giblets
Giblets packaged separately from poultry are kept cold during distribution to retail stores to prevent the growth of bacteria and to increase shelf life. Select fresh giblets just before checking out at the register at the store. They should feel cold to the touch. Place them in a disposable plastic bag (if available) to contain any leakage that could contaminate cooked foods or produce.
At home, immediately place giblets (or poultry containing giblets) in a refrigerator that maintains 40 °F or below, and use within 1 or 2 days; or freeze at 0 °F or below. If kept frozen continuously, they will be safe indefinitely. For best quality, use giblets within 3-4 months of freezing.
Top of Page
Safe Thawing of Giblets
There are three safe ways to thaw giblets and poultry containing them: in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave oven. Never thaw giblets on the kitchen counter.
REFRIGERATOR THAWING. It is best to plan ahead for slow, safe thawing in the refrigerator. As a rule of thumb, whole poultry with giblets will take about 24 hours for every 5 pounds of weight to thaw in the refrigerator. A 1-pound carton of frozen chicken livers will take about 24 hours. Raw poultry and/or giblets defrosted by this method, may be stored in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days. During this time, if giblets are not used, they can be safely refrozen.
COLD WATER THAWING. Leave the giblets or poultry containing them in the original airtight packaging or place in a leak-proof bag. Submerge the product in cold water and change the water every 30 minutes to make sure it stays cold. A whole 3 to 4 pound fryer with giblets should thaw in 2-3 hours by this method and a whole 15 pound turkey will take 7 to 8 hours, or approximately 30 minutes per pound. A 1-pound carton of chicken livers should thaw in 1 or 2 hours. Once thawed, cook immediately.
MICROWAVE THAWING. Cook giblets and poultry containing them immediately after microwave thawing because some areas of the food may become warm and begin to cook. Holding partially cooked food is not recommended because any bacteria that may have been present may not have been destroyed. Foods thawed in the microwave or by the cold water method should be cooked before refreezing.
Top of Page
Dating of Giblets
Product dating is not required by federal regulations, however many stores and processors voluntarily date packages of giblets and poultry with giblets. If a calendar date is shown, there must be a phrase explaining the meaning of the date. Consumers should use or freeze products with a "sell- by" date within 1 or 2 days of purchase. If the manufacturer has determined a "use-by" date, observe it. The use-by date is for quality assurance, after the date, peak quality begins to lessen but the product may still be used. It's always best to buy a product before its date expires. If a date expires after the giblets are frozen, they may still be used.
Top of Page
Safe Cooking of Giblets
Traditionally, chicken or turkey giblets are cooked by simmering in water for use in flavoring soups, gravies or poultry stuffing. Once cooked, the liver will become crumbly and the heart and gizzard will soften and become easy to chop. Cooked giblets should have a firm texture. Casseroles containing giblets should be cooked to 165 °F. Stuffing should be cooked to 165 °F. Chicken giblets are commonly fried or broiled. Leftovers should be refrigerated within 2 hours.
Top of Page
Accidental Cooking in Packaging
Some giblets are
paper wrapped
before being inserted into the poultry body cavity. In this case, there would be
no concern
if the giblets are accidentally cooked inside the bird to a safe temperature.
If giblets were packed in a
plastic bag
, and the bag has been altered or melted by the cooking process, do not use the giblets or the poultry because harmful chemicals may have leached into the surrounding meat. If the plastic bag was not altered, the giblets and poultry should be safe to use as long as the meat is fully cooked.

Remote control, screen sharing, and terminal service in Linux
You can optimize your network by letting your systems share screen images, CPU cycles, and even mouse clicks. This month we look at remote control and terminal service technologies.
Control has always been easy with Unix-based systems like Linux. In the old days, simple tools let the user open a remote connection for command-line access. The rise of the graphic interface brought new complication to this simple formula. In recent years, the economies of thinclient alternatives have added emphasis to the long-neglected terminal service model, and virtualization has focused renewed attention on the task of reaching other systems from a single keyboard and mouse.
This month's cover story examines some tools and techniques for remote control, screen sharing, and terminal service. We start with a look at the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) remote access protocol. We'll show you how VNC differs from the X Window system, describe some tips for working with VNC, and review some popular no-cost VNC applications, such as TightVNC, RealVNC, MetaVNC, and UltraVNC.

• exigency •
Pronunciation: eg-zi-jên-see • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. An unforeseen crisis or emergency, an urgent necessity. 2. (Law) A requirement, need, or expectation.
Notes: Today's noun may be used with or without the final (redundant) suffix -y: exigence is equally acceptable though less often used. Both these nouns are derived from the adjective exigent [eg-zê-jênt] "pressing, urgent", as in exigent circumstances. There is a sibling adjective, exigible "demandable, that could be required", as an exigible duty on imports, a duty that could be charged whether it actually is or not.
In Play: Our lives are filled with exigent circumstances: "Malcolm was late for work because of a family exigency: his tie got caught in the food disposal and his head was held in the sink for a quarter hour." Of course, what is exigent is a matter of taste and opinion: "Charlotte was faced with a major exigency when she arrived home to discover her apartment was bereft of anything chocolate."
Word History: This Good Word comes from another Latin present participle, exigen(t)s "demanding", of the verb exigere "to demand, require". The past participle is exactus, the origin of our verb (to) exact, as to exact a high price. This verb is a combination of ex "out (of)" and agere "to drive, initiate, lead, carry out". The past participle of this verb is actus, ancestor to English act. However, this verb is also the source of agent, someone who carries out tasks on your behalf. Synagogue comes from the Greek equivalent of this verb, synagein "to bring together", based on syn "(together) with" + agein "bring, lead, direct".

Though it is not my preferred pronunciation, I have found sources, including a human, who use this one. All my dictionaries put the stress on the first syllable as the first choice.

Friendly Professional -- You will be VERY pleased.
I've been client of Spencer Malay for quite a while and would NEVER go anywhere else. They know what they are doing and take the time to consult with you and give you suggestions (if you want them) so that your outcome is exactly what you hoped for. Viola is outstanding! Not ony her demeaner -- but she is thoughtful and pays close attention to what you are saying and ensures it happens. If for some reason you "need more/or less" she is there for you - and doesn't blink and eye!
They have a Keratin "frequent flyer" program that is outstanding. I have keratin, foils and cuts and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT EVERY TIME!
The entire staff is awesome. Everyone is friendly, they introduce themselves by their names, they address you by your name, AND they offer refreshments (and refils) to boot! They are young at heart and you leave there feeling you have had a fantastic experience.
Don't bother every going anywhere else!
I'm loving my hair!. I went to Spencer Malay for the first time last week for a haircut from Spencer. The salon is in a very convenient location and has a comfortable, laid back feel. Everyone that works there is so sweet. Before cutting my hair, Spencer consulted me thoroughly and made suggestions, which I found to be very helpful. My cut is great! While in his chair, we also chatted about my color. So, this week, I went back this time for color. We decided to just tone down my highlights for the fall and have my roots blend in with the rest of my hair. Once again, I was taken care of by Spencer and his awesome staff and left the salon feeling very happy. I also must tell you how relaxing Spencer Malay Salon is...Elizabeth, who does both hair and massage, has amazing hands! Do yourself a favor and book a massage with Elizabeth!
A definite cut above the rest!. I just got my hair cut and colored here today. I'm only in town for a short while and was staying around the corner with my friend who recommended SMH to me in the first place. However, I shopped 2 other salons within close proximity before I made my decision. Prices were comparable but it was the warm and friendly vibe of the place plus great staff customer service as soon as I stepped in the door that won me over. I was not disappointed! The vision I had in mind was brought to life just like they read my mind. Viola was fantastic...she listened and was so personable (as is the rest of the staff) and professional that I felt very comfortable like I was amongst friends. Highly recommended and I will most definitely be going back to try their spa services before I leave town!
Atlanta's Best Hair Salon for Talent and Customer Service. I recently received a color and cut by Viola at this salon and I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. The staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable, yet professional. Viola has such a great personality and really cares about her clients. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy but haven't lost all of my hair, it's only thinning right now, thank God, and she took the utmost care in being gentle and careful to reduce the damage as much as possible. Going through chemotherapy and cancer in itself is devastating and makes you feel very unattractive. I left this salon feeling pretty for the first time in a long time. Thank you, Viola. You are awesome!
Best Hair Salon in Atlanta.
I first found Spencer Malay Hair because I lived (literally) a mile away, I was looking for a place to get my hair cut and a place to potentially do my hair & makeup on my wedding day.
After a year of having my hair cut by Viola, she did my hair on my wedding day. She created the most perfect, beautiful hairstyle for my wedding day and I can not thank her enough.
Now, I've moved and getting to Spencer Malay Hair is almost a 40 minute drive, but I make that drive whenever I need a haircut. It's worth it. Not only because Viola is an incredible at what she does, but because the Spencer Malay Hair team really makes you feel like part of their family. Love them!
The Best Choice in Haircare.
When I first moved to the downtown area from Duluth I was faced with finding a new salon. This was not the easiest thing to do. I get my haircut every two weeks. I also am quite picky about how it looks.
I tried about three different salons before I walked into Spencer Malay and was immediately greeted by Spencer and he took me to Viola. I was so impressed with the level of professionalism that everyone demonstrated that I have never left. I highly suggest the salon to anyone that wants a great cut, professional service,
Everyone from Ray at the counter who asks me if I want something to drink each time I arrive, to Elisabeth who often washs my hair and all of the staff this is the place for me. I have been comig here for about three years and have NEVER been disappointed.
A Great Place to Get Pampered.
I was first introduced to Spencer, Ray, Viola, and the rest of the Spencer Malay Hair team almost five years ago. I stopped by at the recommendation of a good friend, and the rest is history. Everyone who works there is amazing and gifted in their craft.
Be sure to checkout the spa as well. Ivette and Fabian are true professionals! Everyone who works at Spencer Malay Hair is very friendly, helpful, and I always feel like family when I visit.
Best Haircut. I was first introduced to the team a few years back when I was shooting a wedding and the bridal party was getting ready there. They did a fantastic job on the hair and make-up, they did everything in a timely manner (which is important on a wedding day to stay on schedule as much as you can) and everyone was super friendly. When the time came for my wedding, I knew I wanted to get my hair done with Spencer Malay. Viola did my wedding hair, and I've been getting my haircut from her since. I absolutely love her.
High quality service without the snobbery.
I am always nervous to try new hair salons, and when I had my first appointment at Spencer Malay a couple of years ago, it was no different. I have very long hair and I am always frightened that the stylist is going to chop it off against my wishes. Viola set my mind at ease immediately. She was respectful of my paranoia and gave me a fabulous trim (cutting off only the split ends but leaving the length:) To this day she knows exactly how I want my hair styled (and colored) without me saying a word (unless you have had your hair chopped off against your wishes, you have no idea how comforting that is).
Viola is the absolute best, but I have to also share some positive words about Spencer, Ray, and Elisabeth. THe owner, Spencer, is always so nice, unpretentious, and makes me feel at home. Ray, always greets me by name and offers me coffee just the way I like:) And Elisabeth gives the best shampoos EVER, it's like a mini stress relieving massage.
In conclusion, Spencer Malay Hair is a high quality salon and spa without the snooty and pretentious price tag or people.
Keratin Treatment was great!!. I went and had my second Keratin Treatment at Spencer Malay Salon yesterday. It was great!! The first one that I had, which was there was amazing!! It has changed my life completely!! I have highlighted blonde curly hair and the results of this treatment are AMAZING!! The salon is fabulous too!! They also have a rewards program with the Keratin Treatments, so it is more affordable each time you get it done! I could not be happier with the Keratin Treatment and also the Salon itself. Overall, it has been an excellent experience both times that I have gone!!

Big Changes Coming To A School Cafeteria Near You
By: Katie Thompson
Updated: August 16, 2012
Courtney remembers when pizza, burgers and cake were offered as lunch items at school.
Back when there was no need for a vegetable or whole grain.
But when students like her fifth grade daughter return to school this fall, some of the biggest changes they'll notice may be in the food they eat.
"What they're going to notice are different serving sizes, and how were going to ask them to make selections," Explains AISD Nutrition Director Joann Knox.
The 'Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act' will now require all students to place at least one fruit or vegetable on their lunch tray.
Serving sizes will be smaller, and forget about white bread or white rice.
"We'll only have whole grain breads,some of our pastas we are trying, last year we went to whole grain spaghetti, we're looking at brown rice," Knox explained.
Knox believes the most difficult part of the change will come from students at the middle and high school level.
"We're going to have a big challenge ahead of us to get those secondary students to understand its different. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means that it's different and that we're trying to follow these new guidelines," Knox said.
While the new guidelines may have some students turning up their nose, parents like Courtney are pleased their children will now have more, healthier lunch choices to choose from.
"I think its a good thing because it opens kids up to choices, healthy choices. And then it sets the grounds for them when they get older," Courtney said. "And it actually helps me out at home to kind of try and reinforce it more at home."

A few interesting tidbites were the drop in offensive ranking and the fact that Bates has learned something from Tice as far as the running game. I can't imagine what. The running game was off this year and he could not figure out how to use the best tandem in the NFL. But whatever....
Bears quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates might be QB keeper
BY ADAM L. JAHNS email@example.com January 3, 2013 8:58PM

Quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates was brought to Chicago for Jay Cutler. The belief was their history and kinship would translate into points and wins for the Bears.
But their reunion didnt really pan out.
With coach Lovie Smith gone, theres no telling which if any assistant coaches will be retained. Even Cutler doesnt sound convinced his guy will be back.
I have no idea, Cutler said when asked if he expects Bates to return. I would say no, but thats a guess.
General manager Phil Emery said all the assistant coaches remain under contract and have a chance to stay if his new coach decides theyre keepers. But Smith only retained one coach from Dick Jaurons regime.
Linebackers coach Bob Babich, running backs coach Tim Spencer and receivers coach Darryl Drake, who have been with Smith since 2004, appear destined to head elsewhere. Bates, though, might have one of the best chances to stick, considering Emery believes Cutler has the potential to be a franchise quarterback.
Quarterback Josh McCown, a 10-year veteran who has worked with Cutler, Bates and Mike Martz, said it was easy to see the chemistry between Bates and Cutler.
No question, McCown said. They have great chemistry, and thats a credit to [Bates]. He understands what he wants to get accomplished but also players are all individuals, and were all different. He knows one guy has to be taught differently than the next guy and so on and so forth. Hes willing to do anything it takes to get the message taught.
Jay responds to [Bates] teaching style.
Why that chemistry didnt turn into better results is debatable. Mike Tice handled the play-calling as a first-time offensive coordinator, but Bates definitely had input. With Tice and Bates, the Bears offense went from 24th in 2011 to 28th this season.
Emery wont blame Tice or anyone else for the offenses failures. He said his goal is to get the most out of Cutler.
I would say its real important to find [a head coach] who can help lead and develop all our players, Emery said. Jay being our quarterback, and that being a franchise position in terms of importance, its very important that that person either himself or staff-wise has the right person to help Jay develop.
It could turn out to be Bates, who gets along with the enigmatic Cutler while others have had conflicts. Bates first worked with Cutler and receiver Brandon Marshall with the Denver Broncos (2006-08) before becoming the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator in 2010.
McCown said Bates was innovative with his game-planning.
Obviously, being a coordinator before, he has a vision, McCown said. Jeremy is a very, very good football coach. Hes one of the better ones Ive been around.
Bates said working with Cutler was the same as it was in Denver. He also thought he developed a good rapport with Tice this season and learned from him.
Hes a great offensive line coach, Bates said. Its a different run game that I know and that Ive learned. Im going to be able to use it throughout the rest of my career.
In a few weeks, well know if that includes the Bears for next season.
[Bates] knows what Jay is thinking, where he is coming from, his opinions on certain things, McCown said. He talks to Jay about different things and figures out the best way to help Jay get better.
Its been fun to watch their relationship, watch how you coach a guy of Jays caliber. Hes great for us. Hes great for Jay.

Residents Can Return to Homes in Point Beach
Officials announced on Wednesday afternoon that residents, property owners and business owners can check their properties
Residents, business owners and operators of properties owned and leased in Point Beach are now allowed to go back to their properties.
The town lifted the mandatory evacuation order east of the NJ Transit train tracks at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
However, police and government officials are urging extreme caution.
"Residents and business owners and operators are strongly urged to exercise extreme caution," a prepared statement says. "In many cases, structures in Point Pleasant Beach may not be in a safe condition and the permission to access those properties should not be construed in any way as a representation of the condition of the property."
"Also, as of the time of this announcement, there is no electrical service in the town and no definitive time when it is expected to resume.
"Residents and business owners and operators are strongly encouraged to confer with and retain, if necessary, experts in the areas of engineering, construction and utilities prior to entering their properties.
"Residents and business owners and operators should be aware that they enter their properties at their own risk and accept all responsibility for all known and unknown consequences. Risks associated with entering properties include, but are not limited to, injuries and death because of structural damage, drowning, fire, explosion, electrocution and accidents of any kind.
The 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew and alcohol ban remain in effect until further notice. Violators will be subject to summons and arrest under a strict enforcement policy."
Mayor Vincent Barrella said on Wednesday that the oceanfront area has been severely damaged, that the entire length of boardwalk is either damaged or completely destroyed and that while Martell's Tiki Bar is still there, its pier is gone.
7:38 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Very grateful to you for keeping us informed throughout this horrific ordeal. We evacuated our home on New York ave. on Sunday to stay with relatives 30 miles inland. The AM1630 station we were told to monitor for information does NOT work outside the immediate area. :(. With no one to call and watching unspeakable tragedy unfold as we were glued to the television (until power was lost in Middlesex County), your Patch kept us informed with specific information for our area. Kudos to you and your team!

Thank you so much. I'm glad you and your loved ones are safe and I hope your home is OK.

2. | Yellowcard | ||
Yellowcard is a great Pop-Rock band. They rocketed to fame with "Ocean Avenue", and have since racked up fans.
Their singles include "Way Away" (<- One of their recent best) "Ocean Avenue" (Coughsuckscough) and "Only One"(Should Not Be A Single). Their past albums include "The Underdog EP" and "One For The Kids". How to tell Apart Yellowcard Fans:
When asked their favorite YC song... A longtime fan would say something from Underdog EP. A more recently recruited fan would say "Way Away". A gay MTV watching bandwagoner would say "Ocean Avenue". They also would think Ocean Avenue is Yellwocard's first single and album. An obsessive-compulsive MeLoveYouLongTime fan would say something from "Midget Tossing". |
1. | yellowcard | ||
Rock band with a violin. Fans can be categorized.
The purist: "The Underdog EP is awesome but they compeltely sold out and their new stuff is shit." The bandwagon: "Ocean Avenue is a good song. OMG OLOL LIEK YEY I LUV YELLOWCARD OMG." The hater: "Yellowcard is complete shit." The basic: "Hey, I like this Yellowcard song. Hey, I also like this other song. Let me go buy that cd. Hey, I also like a lot of these songs." Yellowcard has a violinist that does backflips.
3. | yellowcard | ||
a yellowcard is a party foul or unacceptable behavior at a party, such as spilling beer or being too loud. Matt: Jenny spilled her beer all over the couch
Phil: YELLOWCARD! |
4. | yellowcard | ||
In football (soccer), a player is issued a yellowcard when he commits his first penalty of the game. When he commits the second penalty of the game, he gets a redcard and is ejected from the game. Ronaldo was issued a yellowcard, and he must now be careful so that he does not get a yellow card
5. | Yellowcard | ||
1. A punk rock band with roots in Jacksonville, CA. They consist of Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Ben Harper, Pete Mosely, and Longineu Parson better known as LP. They are one of the few bands to have a violinist in the lineup and they played 2004 Warped Tour.
2. According to the band, "yellowcard" was another way of saying "party foul". 3. A soccer term, that someone else defines really well. Yellowcard is one of the better punk rock bands of our time.
6. | Yellowcard | ||
A good band from J-town. Current albums are The Underdog EP, Ocean Avenue, Where we stand, and One for the kids. They aren't punk like some ignorant kids on here say, they are pop-punk. Ruined by preppy sluts who heard Ocean Avenue on the radio and call themselves punk. *Prep hears Ocean Avenue on the radio*
Prep: LYK OMG I'M SO PUNK. Me: Um no you are not. Where were you 10 years ago, when we were skating around listening to REAL PUNK ROCK. |
7. | Yellowcard | ||
A pop-punk, pop-rock band (also called Punk Revival by AOL music) with a violinist. Currently consists of Ryan Key (lead vocals,guitar), Sean Mackin (violin, vocals), Pete Mosley (vocals, guitar), Longeneiu W. Parsons III (a.k.a. LP)(drums), and the newest-- Ryan Mendez(guitar). Ryan Mendez filled in for the past guitarist, Ben Harper, a.k.a "Ben Jammin'" by fans. Not the Ben Harper some of you may know.
Formed in Jacksonville, FL. All the original members went to a performing arts high school, seen in the Beyond Ocean Avenue: Live At The Electic Factory concert DVD. As a small majority of people know, Yellowcard has been around since 1997, and released their first CD, "Midget Tossing" which is now out of print. All their CDs have been on indie-labels until Ocean Avenue. Midget Tossing- {label uknown by m}-1998 Where We Stand- {label unknown by me}-1999 Still Standing EP- {label unknown by me}- 2000 One For The Kids- Lobster Records-2001 The Underdog EP- ... |

Quins boss Conor O'Shea admitted that his side were slightly lucky to secure a 31-28 win over London Irish.
The defending champions needed a last-gasp try from Tom Casson in controversial fashion to claim the victory, with the TMO ruling that the ball had come off the centre's knees before he grounded it late on, making his try legal.
O'Shea was the first to concede that the decision was far from straightforward.
"I think if you watch it in real time it doesn't look like a try, it's a great piece of covering work by Guy Armitage," he said.
"But by the letter of the law it's a try so I think it was a good decision and it's why we have the TMO system.
"We know that at the end of the season you look back and you have games like this. It's a massive four points for us to come away with because Irish played well and it's a tough place to come.
"I think we really picked up the intensity in the final five or six minutes after we went behind and that was crucial. The whole team picked up in intensity and we saw more people carrying, more people getting into the game and looking for the ball.
"Everyone forgets certain games at the end of the season - it's all about playing your best all season and fortunately this was one we got away with without playing at our best."

Investigators say Jesus Morales was found on 18th Street in Park Slope.
The 67-year-old travel agent was pronounced dead at Lutheran Medical Center.
"We have a witness who hears a thump. She turns and she sees the victim on the ground and sees the suspect with his mask off somewhat. Putting the mask back on, he tells her to turn around," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "Two other witnesses see this individual running."
Authorities released a photo of Morales' wedding band, which police say was stolen from him.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

A: The maths bit is that every month that you qualify, you can earn 11% bonus on the sales of your team members. You can also earn an extra £100 Team Productivity Bonus EVERY month on your Personal Team Sales.
In reality, our Team Leaders generally earn three or four figure monthly bonuses, depending on the size of their team. That's real, "not-going-back-to-the-day-job" money.
Q: So, what would I actually do as a Team Leader?
A: Just two important things that help us get more Usborne Books into the hands of more children:
Excite Usborne customers and fans into wanting to join your Team.
Excite your existing team by regularly getting them together on or off line and enabling them to share their ideas, news, challenges and achievements with you and each other.
Sound like a lot of excitement doesn't it?
Q: Sounds too good to be true - what is the commitment?
A: It really isn't too good to be true, just a unique opportunity. And you don't necessarily need to commit more time than you are giving Usborne now, just work smarter.
Once you have a Team up and running, if time is an issue, more and more of your income can come from bonuses on their sales, rather than doing them yourself.
Q: And so what do I have to do to promote to Team Leader?
A: It's a simple criteria that can be achieved very quickly:
You and at least four Organisers whom you have personally recruited achieve £1500 Personal Team Sales or more in a computed month between you.
Each of you must also achieve at least £100 Sales Volume in the month.
I can help you with the nitty gritty Ts and Cs, if you want to 'Dot the Is and cross the Ts'.
Q: What if I give it a go and don't like it?
A: You have nothing to lose - even if you recruit and don't promote you can still earn 6% Mentor Bonus on your recruits' sales.
Q: What if my Team ask me things I don't know?
A: That is highly unlikely - there is nothing complicated about selling Usborne books.
However, I am here to help you every step of the way as are the team at Usborne HQ.
Q: Looks like I have nothing to lose and everything to gain - what do I do next?
A: The thing that makes our business work best - get in touch and let's talk!
Join my team today or, if you still have some questions, contact me to find out more before committing.
It is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a
trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits
from getting others to join a scheme.
Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved
- Organisers work to their own needs and are rewarded accordingly.
