Learn more about Mirage Unitheater Premium Left-Center-Right Integrated Omnipolar Flat-Panel Speaker:
|The UNI-Theater® is a minimalist's dream. Perfect for flat-panel displays, this innovative home theater solution brings you three channels of sound—left, center and right—and a room full of high fidelity, 360º sound in one horizontal cabinet.
A One-Stop Shop for Audio
Combining the three front speakers into one single enclosure offers significant advantages to the consumer — the first being how complementary the UNI-Theater is with today's flat panel televisions and home theater applications. The other is that consumers no longer have to place three separate speakers on the front wall, or run three cables to different locations — possibly compromising the design and appearance of the room. Instead all the performance is packed into one beautifully finished enclosure.
Featuring high quality materials and exclusive technology, the UNI-Theater easily lets you enjoy immersive 360º music and movie performances from anywhere in your room. It handles front and rear sound distribution, while also conveying surround effects. It's everything you need in one fell swoop, and it's available in two designer finishes: brushed aluminum black or silver. And, while it complements flat-panel televisions perfectly, it also fits seamlessly into your room.
The UNI-Theater also offers placement ease. It comes with a flush-mountable wall bracket, allowing the speaker to protrude only as far as a standard flat-panel display. But if wall mounting isn't in the cards, the UNI-Theater also includes a plate-glass and metal table stand that makes the speaker appear as if it's "floating" above the base. A two-position boundary compensation switch on the back of the unit adjusts low-frequency response, allowing for unbeatable performances on or off the wall.
While the UNI-Theater is used mainly for home theater applications, it also creates dynamic 2-channel presentations. In addition, a second UNI-Theater mounted on the rear wall can create an astounding 6.1 home theater system with only two speakers and a subwoofer.
All in all, the UNI-Theater home audio solution single-handedly holds its own against many trios.

Would be nice. I've resized a few ext2 partitions, but haven't found any
way to move the front of the partion, short of nuking the partition
completely and restoring from a backup.
If you've got enough free space on the drive, you could set up a
temporary partition elsewhere and just copy all of the stuff. I've done
this a couple times when I've decided to resize partitions on my laptop
while commuting to school. (Resizing partitions while commuting is
living dangerously, but I know that my documents are safely in
Subversion if anything goes wrong, and I know that I can always find a
CD and start from scratch when I reach school if something goes wrong.)

I use
$ aptitude search -F '%100p' '~i!~M' > thefile
to backup my package list
I've never tried restoring this way, but I would use
# xargs aptitude install --schedule-only < thefile
# aptitude install
to restore. The advantage of doing it this way would be to have aptitude
remember which packages were manually installed and which were
automatically installed as dependancies after the reinstall.

Allen making a differencePosted by on September 28, 2012 – 11:00 am
When Will Allen set out to make a difference in the lives of young adults with his Quest for Real Life Success program in 2008, he probably never realized the impact he actually could have.
Allen initially launched the Quest program in Tampa, Florida when he played for the Buccaneers, working with students at King High School and Brooks-DeBartolo Collegiate High School.
When he signed with the Steelers in 2010, he didn't just bring his football talents with him, but also the program kicking it off at Westinghouse High School and this season taking it to North Hills High School in Pittsburgh and expanding to his alma mater, Wayne High School in Dayton, Ohio.
The after school mentoring program meets weekly, with Allen attending the North Hills meetings and using Skype to communicate with students in Dayton, to discuss topics to help them prepare for life after high school. The focus ranges from test taking skills, resume writing, job interview skills and more.
"I wanted to do something to help them be more proactive about their futures, to help them think outside the box and thinking more about being a young professional going into college," said Allen. "I wanted to bridge the gap going from high school to college so they can be better decision makers, be more cognizant of opportunities and tools and resources that are available.
"A lot of high school kids might go through school and be a straight 'A' student, but they might not know about real life situations. Or there might be a student who does know about real life situations, but doesn't know any tools or resources available to get advancement in life."
The Quest program is a part of the Will Allen Foundation and also stresses the importance of community service, making sure students are well-rounded when they hit the real world.
"We have students now that graduated from college," said Allen. "They were enthused and excited about what they learned and how they were able to utilize it in college and beyond. It's just a way of giving wisdom, knowledge and understanding of situations to help out the youth of today for tomorrow."

oven landing
If you are using refractory insulating fiber board underneath the oven [which raises the cooking surface , what is the best way to bring up the oven landing up to the same height up to the cooking surface and vent landing [which is already higher because it has brick on it]?
Re: oven landing
Morning Chale,
The decision I made was to use concrete as the finished surface on the landing, so I chose to pour the concrete deep enough to fill the entire space. If you are going to finish the landing with stone or tile, then only place enough concrete to bring the level up to the correct thickness that when you add your stone or tile, the surface is level with the cooking floor.
Re: oven landing
Did you pour the landing concrete in front before you did the dome or after you were done with everything else. If you did it after, did you let the wet concrete edge touch your insulated fiber board. There have been some posts about the oven steaming if it gets wet.
Re: oven landing
Hey Chale,
I placed the concrete on the landing the very last step in the construction - before the big clean up. I didn't want to be dropping stucco on the most used and visually noticeable surface on the oven.
I used the perlcrete insulation so did not face the question you have regarding placing the concrete against the insulation board. Maybe one of the others on the forum can address the question, however, I can't imagine the concrete against the insulation would cause a problem.. Should be fine.

I'm having an issue with the positioning of a background image that changes position slightly from browser to browser. I've used conditional css that targets webkit to fix it there, but I need a fix for Opera. Alternatively, if there is a better way to do this by avoiding the targeting of browsers, that would be nice too.
I'm personally using a Mac, version 10.8.2.
Browsers tested include:
-Firefox 18.0.2
-Chrome 23
-Safari 6.0.2
-Opera 12.14
If you have a look, the compass rose image that sits behind the site title (i.e. Storiva) should be centered behind the letter O. Although it looks right in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (after the fix), Opera is giving me problems.
So should I target Opera as well to adjust the background position? If so, what's the best way?
If not, what are my alternatives?
Thank you in advance for your time. Greatly appreciated.
Since the word Storiva is essentially just text, why not just do it something like
and put the Compass Rose image as a bg image to the span?
Wouldn't that work?
Sorry Wolfcry911, totally forgot. Paulie D has got the link right.
Not a terrible idea Paulie_D, but I'm wondering what sort of an impact that has on SEO. Storiva is currently the site title and I hate to mess with the name that way. It currently indexes very well with Google and shows up nice in clean in searches. I might be wrong though.
the span won't hurt SEO. Paulie has a good idea, the only problem being that the image will be cut off (its wider than the 'o') – but that can be fixed by adding left and right padding (approximately 8px) with a negative margin of the same value. You could then try positioning with center 18px – the center should work for all browsers, but the 18px may vary.
The problem here is that you're relying on the font rendering to be consistent. As you've discovered, it isn't from browser to browser and platform to platform (even in the same browser). Another option might be to use an image for the logo with alt text of 'storiva' – this also should not hurt SEO and will be read just fine by screenreaders (and spiders)
Oh, sorry, I forgot to give some info here. I'm running this site on WordPress and Storiva is being included in the Dashboard under the title section. The title DIV that's in the body content refers to the site title in order to populate it. So the span would be added in the site title if I were to want to make the change in the body. Not sure if that matters?
Hey Wolfcry911.
The reason I'm opting for using the font here is that it's accessing an @font-face from Typekit that ensures nice crisp text regardless of browser, including retina displays. What I didn't realize is that font rendering is the culprit here. I assumed it was a positioning glitch from browser to browser.
I guess I'm leaning towards the span with the padding and margin adjustment. Just wondering if having the span in the actual site title (not just the body) will matter?
As I said, the site TITLE is in the head of the page (see the code I quoted).
The 'title' you are referring to is the title of the H1 and that is correct…as "Storiva".
As to the actual text of the H1…it's pretty irrelevant as far as SEO goes.
Unless all of the above breaks WP of course :)
Hi Paulie_D,
Sorry, I'm having a hard time explaining this. So in WordPress, when you go into your settings, you input your site title in an input box. This input box populates both the HEAD and the BODY with the same information. So this creates:
Storiva — What Story Will You Tell? in the title tag in the head section
Storiva in the title div in the body section
So if I were to include the changes in that input box, they would be reflected in both.
I hope I'm making sense here :)
Dang. Was afraid you would say that. As it stands, the text is being served up by a font face at Typekit which ensures it stays nice and crisp for high res displays. I really didn't want to revert to image :(
Tell me, is targeting browsers like I did using webkit all that bad? Or put another way, just how bad is this practice? I seem to see it quite a bit of this. And if I'm willing to live with the repercussions, is there a way to target Opera?

There is such a header:
List-Post: <mailto:email@example.com>
and it is specified in RFC 2369. Mutt has a list reply option but
even so I forget to use it sometimes. It is also possible to set
different reply methods for different folders but even that isn't
always what you want so you can screw up no matter what you have
set and I have screwed up. Also I haven't actually setup the
per-folder reply, but I think Bill has something like that. I
have my mailing list mails in folders called
.lists.variousfolders/ (maildirs) so it would be nice to have a
list reply that matches .lists.* so it isn't so much to

DoD Issues Final Rule on Designation of a Contracting Officer's Representative
September 20, 2011
DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to clarify that a contracting officer's representative must be an employee, military or civilian, of the U.S. Government, a foreign government, or a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)/coalition partner, and that contractor personnel shall not serve as contracting officer's representatives. Effective date: September 20, 2011. Reference Federal Register Volume 76, Number 182 (Tuesday, September 20, 2011).
This rule is based on a request from Headquarters NATO Training Mission--Afghanistan (NTM-A) to permit the designation of non-U.S. Government employees as contracting officer's representatives (CORs) in support of the NTM-A's efforts to train the Afghan National Security Force (ANSF). The NTM-A supports the growth of the ANSF through numerous activities including the contracting of civilian mentoring services. These contracts for mentoring services to the ANSF require the contractor to deploy teams throughout the joint area of operations and interact with non-U.S. coalition partners exclusively. To provide assurance that contractual requirements are being met, it is crucial that contract performance information be submitted to the contracting officer by those coalition units with insight of contractor activities.
Contracting officers supporting contingency operations abroad require the flexibility to ensure the proper oversight of contract performance, such as at locations where there is no U.S. presence or the designation of a U.S. Government COR is not viable. This rule provides that flexibility by clarifying at DFARS 201.602-2 that a COR must be an employee, military or civilian, of the U.S. Government, a foreign government, or a NATO/coalition partner. CORs must meet all training and experience qualifications commensurate with the delegated responsibilities per DFARS 201.602-2(2)(ii). In addition, the rule makes clear that contractor personnel may not serve as CORs. Contractor personnel may, however, continue to perform technical oversight functions on behalf of the contracting officer, excluding those that are inherently governmental (see FAR 7.5).
DoD has issued this rule as a final rule because this rule does not have a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD and does not have a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. Therefore, public comment is not required in accordance with 41 US.C. 1707.

'The Following' Season 2 premiere: How did Joe Carroll survive?Add to Favorites | The Following
Executive producer Kevin Williamson warned us that "The Following" Season 2 would look different, and he wasn't lying. The special preview episode that aired on Sunday (Jan. 19) was unlike anything we've seen from the FOX serial killer thriller.
With a ton of new characters (hello, Sam Underwood pulling double duty as the world's creepiest set of twins ever), new situations (Ryan Hardy's a vigilante?) and new alliances (Ryan and his niece Max vs. the FBI), Season 2 was officially reset.
And we loved every dark, creepy, scary and shocking minute of it.
But the biggest question on our minds after watching "Resurrection" is what is Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) up to? In the last minute of the premiere, it was revealed that the serial killer and cult leader was alive and well one year after the Havenport tragedy, hiding out in some backwoods cabin with a prostitute (Carrie Preston) and a teen (Tiffany Boone), rocking some serious facial hair and going by the name Daryl.
We finally found out that he survived the Season 1 finale fire by jumping into the water and swimming to the beach after the lighthouse exploded, where a follower named Carlos picked him up. While driving away, they came across a roadblock set up by the police, so Joe got out of the car and none of his followers have seen him since. What has he been up to in his backwoods hideout? Is he going to come out of hiding now that his followers have committed a gruesome mass murder in his name (and while wearing masks of his face)?
If Joe does come out of hiding, one follower who would have mixed emotions about him being alive would be Emma (Valorie Curry). She's clearly had a rough year hiding from the FBI, and she wasn't even in the know about the subway murder or that Joe is actually alive. While she'd gladly accept him back into her life, she'll be more than a little pissed about him abandoning her. And by the looks of her new style -- facial piercings, purple mohawk, dark makeup, and a preference for black clothing -- pissing her off is not something anyone would want to do.
On the other hand, Ryan (Kevin Bacon) hasn't accepted the fact that Joe "died" like the public does. On the surface, it looks like he's healed from the attack in his apartment a year ago and moved on from Claire's death. He's in a new apartment and teaching forensics and criminology college course. He knows little Joey is safe with his grandma in witness protection. But in reality, it's all a front. Sure, he's not drinking (after a short bout off the wagon a few months after Claire's death), he's attending his meetings, he's running without putting his heart at risk, and he's even keeping his distance from the FBI investigation into the subway murders.
But that's all because he's obsessed with hunting down Joe and getting revenge on his own, without the red tape of the law getting in his way. He's teaming up with his niece Max Hardy (Jessica Stroup), using her NYC police connections to research Joe's remaining followers. He almost catches Carlos, too (and narrowly missed running into Emma), and he didn't hold back in beating the guy up. Season 2's Ryan is clearly going to be much darker than Season 1's, especially since he now knows for sure that Joe is still alive.
And that's a shame, since Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore) is in need of his mentor in a big way. Over the past year he's been beating himself up over the death of Debra Parker and how Ryan shot that follower point blank after failing to save her, and when Ryan refuses to join the FBI task force and pushes Mike away, he clearly takes it personally. While Ryan has good intentions in distancing himself from Mike -- he doesn't want to drag the young agent down with him as he travels the dark path of revenge -- Williamson notes that Mike's only going to get worse as Season 2 moves forward.
And we need to talk about Luke. He seemed harmless at first -- a cute guy trading flirting glances with a girl, until it became clear he was stalking her. Cut to: the two of them lying naked in her bed. He's whispering sweet nothings in her ear with a smile on his face. But she's dead. He keeps a conversation going with her all day, making a meal in her kitchen, showering in her apartment, singing to her and dancing with her corpse, dressing her up in a white dress and putting on her makeup. And then ...
His twin Mark hops out of the shower to help him with the corpse. What?! Twice the creepy, and twice the crazy. These homicidal, gleefully psychotic twins are a force to be reckoned with and are completely unpredictable. We have a feeling they're going to inject some much-needed fresh blood into Season 2, especially with the way they staged the girl's corpse in the park to be found all in the vein of Joe's old murders. What is their deal?
So what did you think of the new and improved "The Following?" After "Resurrection," the FOX series moves to its permanent timeslot with a two-hour episode at 9 p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 27.

Afgoye — Pro-government soldiers in southern Somalia are reportedly looted truckloads of food meant for drought-famine victims in Afgoye town, some 30 kilometers (19 miles) north-west Mogadishu, Witnesses and officials said.
Witnesses told Shabelle Media by phone from Afgoye that Somali government soldiers on Tuesday held up in broad day light two trucks transporting humanitarian aid materials that intended for IDPs in the town which was captured Somalia and AMISOM forces from Al shabab after three-day offensive May 25, 2012 .
"We shall take measures against those soldiers who were behind the looting activities of the trucks carrying food aid on Tuesday aid that meant for the internally displaced people in Afgoye district, North West of Mogadishu," security officials, told Shabelle Media via telephone.
This seriously undermines efforts to help hundreds of thousands of people locating in areas between Mogadishu and Afgoye district, many of whom have fled south and central Somalia in a state of famine and drought in 2011, according to aid workers.

Food 4 Wealth Review
Food4Wealth System
These days, people all over North America are looking for ways to save money, eat better and eliminate pesticides from their diet. Grocery stores are filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, but many are laden with potentially harmful substances, even those foods that are labeled as organic. The author, Jonathan White, understands the need for people to take control of their health and their pocketbooks. That's why he designed the Food4Wealth System, where anyone who has even the smallest backyard can create a true organic vegetable garden.
Organic Vegetable Garden
The Food4Wealth system recommends certain vegetables for your garden to get you started, although realistically, you can use any vegetable of your choice.
• Lettuce
• Cucumber
• Parsnips
• Corn
• Zucchini
• Carrots
• Onions
• Potatoes
• Snow Peas
• Tomatoes
• Swiss Chard
• Celery
Regardless of what zone you live in, these vegetables can be grown quite easily in your backyard. They can also be grown in containers if your backyard is very small or if you live in an apartment.
Build Your Garden From Scratch
An integral part of the system is building your garden from the soil up, using several layers of materials. The author explains in detail how to do this. It can be layered on top of your grass, without any digging or hard work. Start with a layer of newspapers, then cover those with hay; next comes the fertilizer, more hay and then compost on top. You can do this inside of a wooden frame or another type of frame of your choosing. This creates an ecosystem that over time will take care of itself and which requires little maintenance. The author explains that your garden will require only 8 hours of work per year. You can even use your own compost from your kitchen scraps.
Who Can Benefit
The Food4Wealth System is for anyone who wants to save money on their grocery bill, and those who want to grow their own organic vegetables. You don't need acres of land; even those who live in apartments or condos can grow vegetable in containers. The author promises that it doesn't require a lot of heavy work like digging or weeding. Part of the course also covers growing more than you need so you can sell the excess and make extra money, so those looking to increase their income can also benefit.
Multiple Learning Methods
The Food4Wealth System is comprised of an 80 page e-book, a comprehensive project plan and several videos that total approximately 60 minutes of instruction. The names of the videos are as follows:
• Dimensions
• Composting
• Creating a Frame
• Maintenance
• What Goes in the Frame
• Seasons
• Putting Up A Climbing Frame for Peas and Beans
• Self-Seeding
• Adapting Your Existing Vegetable Garden
• Potato Beds
• Planting Out Your Plot
• Planting a Seedling
• Food 4 Wealth Fruit Farm
• Mini Food 4 Wealth Plot
The videos complement the e-book and give you step-by-step instructions on how to design and create your own organic garden.
About the Author
Jonathan White is an environmental scientist and horticulturist with over 20 years of experience in the industry. As part of the Food4Wealth course, he takes the viewer on a tour of his own backyard and clearly illustrates that he follows his own advice and principles. Jonathan appears in all of the video instructions and narrates the course in the audio book portion as well.
According to the website, he is sharing this system with the world as a way to empower people and teach them how easy growing your own food can really be. His dream is to someday go to the poorest countries in the world and show them this very system.
The Food4Wealth System contains everything you need in order to have your own organic garden, with an abundance of fresh vegetables to fill your containers or backyard. The program features videos and e-books that are designed to teach you how to become a self-sufficient gardener, and how to make a profit from your garden. The author also promises that the garden you create will naturally repel pests and can be grown in any part of the world.
The system comes with a Project Plan as a bonus. This plan will help you pick the best spot in your backyard, and will help you design the perfect size and dimensions of your garden. Other accessories need to be purchased separately, such as seeds, garden tools and your frame.
The Food4Wealth System is easy to follow and understand. All of the lessons and videos are clearly spelled out so even if you don't have any gardening experience, you'll be able to grow your own vegetable garden with ease. The price of $39.97 offers good value for your money and will fit most budgets. It is a small price to pay considering you could save thousands of dollars a year on your grocery bill. There is a 60-day money back guarantee; if for any reason you are not satisfied with the course, simply request a refund and you will get 100% of your money back, no questions asked. The system encourages healthy eating, lessening our carbon footprint and working with Mother Nature instead of against her. It's clearly a system whose time has come; consumers need to take action against the harmful foods that are filling our supermarkets.
The author recommends railway ties to frame the garden, but this could actually have the opposite effect that you're looking for. Many railway ties are treated with chemicals. If you do use wood, be sure that it's not pressure treated or filled with harmful substances. The potatoes are treated 'differently' than the other vegetables, and segregated from the rest of the garden; however, it's not clear why this is the case. The author doesn't explain why they need to be separate.
Consumer Reviews
Consumer reviews from independent sites have been giving the Food4Wealth system rave reviews. People love the fact that the price is quite reasonable and that it comes with a money back guarantee. They are also quite pleased that the course offers the e-book plus instructional videos. Other purchasers have stated that when they follow the system to the letter, they experience amazing results; their gardens are full of fresh vegetables that they can enjoy on a daily basis. The biggest benefit seems to be the fact that designing, planting and maintaining an organic garden is done with minimal effort and skill. You don't need to have a proverbial 'green thumb' and you don't have to spend hours weeding and seeding. This is a big plus in today's world of busy households.
At the time of this review, the Food4Wealth System was available for a price of $39.97. The e-book and videos are instantly downloadable, so you can get started right away. You'll also save on shipping charges.
The Food4Wealth System seems to have come on the market at a time when people are struggling economically, and becoming more educated about what kind of substances are really in the food we eat. This course is the ideal answer for both of these problems. It is perfect for anyone who is interested in eating wholesome, pesticide-free food and saving money on groceries. It's a great way to embrace nature.

Nobody likes to tie up resources with a long-running backup. So how do you shrink your backup window? There are many approaches, but in SAN environments, sometimes the best solution is to back up directly from the shared storage rather than from the servers themselves. These so called "off-host" backups have its own challenges, however, so you need to weigh your options carefully.
Worst-case backup scenarios usually involve a server that maintains a huge amount of data -- or a server that squirrels away data in hundreds of thousands of tiny little files. In either case, backing up over the network using traditional backup agents can result in incredibly long backup windows -- often the better part of a day for a single server. The usual culprits include poor network performance, poor source disk performance, poor backup device performance, and/or the overhead of cataloging the files being backed up.
With direct-attached storage, you have few options to shrink your backup window. If you have so much data to move that a single gigabit Ethernet link chokes -- or, more often, if the performance of the source server simply isn't up to snuff -- good luck.
In SAN-attached environments, you can opt for off-host backups, where you present the source server's storage volumes on the SAN directly to the backup host. The backup host can then draw the data from the SAN without loading the source server at all. Better, if you have enough spare SAN performance headroom, you can freely back up throughout the day without causing problems, as the source server chugs along happily unaware that a backup is taking place.
Off-host backups vary depending on whether virtualization is in place. In non-virtualized environments, the backup software generally contacts the source server and asks it to create a snapshot of the disks you want to back up. The source server then uses software provided by the SAN manufacturer to request that a snapshot be created on the SAN. The backup server mounts the snapshot and performs the backup from that. Without these steps, the backup wouldn't be consistent, because it would be performed from a volume that was actively changing rather than a point-in-time copy.

Christmas shoppers drawn to 'theatre' of high street, claims report
By Nicola Clark, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 22 December 2011 10:30AM
Despite the continued rise of ecommerce, a large number of British consumers are braving the traffic, crowds and cold to shop on the high street.
The British Retail Consortium has revealed that numbers for the week beginning December 12 were up 2.5% year-on-year across all locations. Both high street and shopping centre Christmas shoppers were up by 2.6% each, while out-of-town stores experienced a 0.3% increase.
Research from shopper marketing agency Live and Breathe suggests that lavish Christmas windows are putting the theatre back into the retail experience.
The report praised Selfridges for integrating on and offline activity, stating: "The website carries the same icy look and feel. While the seasonal promotions were in evidence in both spaces, the initiatives were different."
However, not all retailers hit the right note with their windows. Harrods, famed for its lavish store windows, was criticised in the report, which said: "It's a shame that one of the wintery sets ends up looking like a stack of sun beds, one of top of each other, with a semi-clothed model topping up her tan."
Christmas shopping in numbers
- MasterCard research found that Christmas shopping on the high street costs an average of £84 more than purchasing online. This takes into account the added temptation of impulse purchasing and costs such as parking and petrol.
- According to Mintel, 73% of consumers prefer to visit shops and handle items before purchasing.
- UK consumers are set to spend £186.4m online on Christmas day this year, 12% more than last year, according to predictions from retail body IMRG.

Here in the office, we frequently add a little of this and a little of that in the diffusers, and end up with aromas that bring out the ooooohs and aaaaahs…the kind of amazing aromas that make everyone smile. Talk about an ideal way to create a positive environment!
Today's aroma blend of the day was created by Sarah Deaver, our receptionist in the Will Call office. Sarah mixed 10 drops of Cassia Essential Oil and 6 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil to create a most heavenly blend.
Her inspiration?
Sarah said she likes the fresh fragrance of those two oils, likes the way the blend lifts her mood and helps her feel more alert in the morning, and also likes the cinnamony-smell of Cassia, which reminds her that the holidays are right around the corner!
Learn a little more about Cassia:
- Cassia is a close relative of cinnamon. Its Latin binomial is Cinnamomum cassia.
- Cassia has been used for thousands of years for its wonderful fragrance and calming properties
Learn a little more about Grapefruit:
- Grapefruit oil is cold-pressed from the rind.
- Grapefruit has remarkable cleansing and invigorating properties
Sounds like Sarah created the perfect duo for uplifting the mood, purifying the air, and invigorating the senses!

Assessments & Certification
NAFTrack Certification (formerly known as SCAS)
NAF academy students can now earn a NAFTrack certification—a credential that is increasingly being recognized by colleges, universities, employers and professional trade associations for its assurance, backed by data, that these NAF graduates are college and career ready.
NAFTrack Certification a tool for measuring college and career readiness. It combines classroom and workplace learning to measure career and technical knowledge and skill proficiencies. These proficiencies are aligned with industry-recognized standards including foundational 21st century skills essential in establishing a student's overall readiness for college and career. The system shares the view of the new Common Core State Standards assessment system -- that assessment should combine both testing of content knowledge as well as performance of projects and activities.
NAFTrack Certification was created with educator and employer input and includes end-of-course exams, culminating project assessments, and an internship assessment. The end result, a NAFTrack certificate, is rewarded to seniors who display mastery of 21st century skills and by account of these assessments, are college and career ready. The certificate will recognized by industry associations, some of which will also issue a joint certificate. Find out who is on board for each of our themes here.
NAF and WestEd developed assessments to correspond with the NAF curriculum in finance, hospitality & tourism, and information technology. Engineering assessments and certification are provided by NAF's curriculum partners, Project Lead the Way, STEM 101, and Paxton/Patterson.
The student certification assessment guides for course-based assessments are now available with the other course materials. The link is in the Course Overview page between the Culminating Project Overview and the Common Core State Standards crosswalk.
To participate in NAFTrack Certification or for information about NAFTrack Certification training, please contact your network liaison. For contact information for your NAF network liaison, please click here. While using the system, please review the "Help" section in the navigation list at the left side of your screen. Tips are provided for you regarding several key activities.
Additionally, for expert technical support, please contact Internet Testing Systems (ITS). The ITS support team is available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm EST online, via email or by phone. An online request for assistance can be submitted when logged into the system. The ITS support email is firstname.lastname@example.com and phone is 1-800-514-8494.
If you have questions about NAFTrack Certification (formerly known as SCAS) general practices or continue to have difficulty, please contact email@example.com.
What does it mean to be certified "College and Career Ready?"
It is generally accepted that college and career readiness includes certain levels of proficiency in math and English a student needs to enroll, without need for remediation, and succeed in, credit-bearing courses required to earn a certificate or degree enabling entry and advancement in a career path that affords a standard of living to which we all aspire as individuals and as a society. The level of proficiency in math and English required and other academic requirements vary by state, educational mission of the institution, and many other factors.
It is also generally accepted that college and career readiness includes more than some basic academic knowledge. It requires some basic career knowledge also. It includes contextual knowledge about, and the ability to navigate college and career entry paths. And perhaps most importantly, it requires certain abilities (knowledge and skill) essential for college and career success in any field—foundational skills like communication and critical thinking, interpersonal skills like teamwork and collaboration, and self-management skills like self-direction and awareness of one's own abilities and performance.
NAFTrack Certification was designed to address the need for a means of authentically assessing students' basic career and technical knowledge, readiness to successfully navigate college and career paths and those abilities—also called 21st century skills—most agree are essential for both college and career readiness and success.
International Baccalaureate Career-Related Certificate (IBCC):
NAF is working with International Baccalaureate to offer the IB Career-related Certificate to students enrolled in both a NAF academy and at an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Diploma Program. The International Baccalaureate offers academically challenging and balanced programs of education that prepare students for success. The IBCC incorporates the educational principles, vision and learner profile of the IB into a unique offering that specifically addresses the needs of students who wish to engage in career-related education.
Articulation Agreements:
NAF is in the process of establishing a memoranda of understanding with more than 60 colleges and universities who agree to recognize NAF academy graduates who have earned Certification as they apply for admission and advanced credit. Check out who is already on board.
NOTE: Effective the spring term of 2014, NAF will no longer issue certificates of completion. Until then, academies that use the certificate of completion templates may continue to do so, but academies that have never issued NAF certificates of completion are discouraged from doing so now to avoid confusion as we transition to the assessment-based certificate.ShareThis

banned from makeup: my condescending opinion.
I just heard a mother in my office flip shit after receiving a picture of her daughter in makeup. I gather her daughter is in elementary or middle school... but I suppose it's irrelevant really. I'd heard in the past different parents that refused to let their daughters wear makeup... i remember it even in 5th grade when the girls would get caught by the teacher.
but i've never really thought about WHY they would have a problem with it...
i honestly can't figure it out. i have a few theories, but first i'd like to theorize about why someone would want to wear makeup in the first place. i'll only use examples of ordinary children... i can understand if you're, for example, a burn victim and you wear makeup to limit the amount of staring and shock from the ignorant majority. i mean just in general, an ordinary girl wanting to put on makeup:
1. social acceptance. they hide anything imperfect about themselves so that they appear perfect.
2. imitation. they wish to look like an older woman they idolize.
3. attraction to the opposite sex. goes off of social acceptance, but they feel that accentuating their looks will bring more attention from boys.
4. expression. some women (and men) will wear makeup as a sort of form of identity. for the best example, look up emo and goth.
assuming these are the motives, i don't see why parents would have a problem with it.
Case 1: if your child has resorted to using makeup to be socially-accepted, chances are they're doing anything else they can to feel normal already. disallowing makeup is not going to make a difference, because it's also socially-acceptable to give the appearance of the rebel or the "parent-oppressed". why do you care if they're using makeup to assist it any further? the problem stems back to your inability to teach them about being honest with not only those around them, but with themself. they're already hiding their interests and joys from everyone... hiding what they find to be imperfect about their appearance is just the next logical step. this social reaction is already ingrained, and they'll continue it with or without your support. the best part is, right now you stand by your moral obligation, but in 4-5 years when they're in high school and they're one of the most popular girls in school with tons of guys following them, dying to stand next to them and their preppy crowd of phonies that molded them into who they are today... that's when suddenly you'll let it slide. may as well just lay back and let 'em put it on... you'll be changing your mind anyway when they have their prom queen crown on, you hypocrite. your morals are stupid, and you can't even stand by them.
Case 2: if your child wants to imitate someone they idolize, then this is a process that's already been happening. just because they can't look like them in appearance doesn't mean they still won't copy their mannerisms and attitudes. if anything, this is a giant step into theater... nurture it. that or they're not actually idolizing anyone, and all they're really doing is picking someone popular and copying their style for the aformentioned social acceptance. you might want to actually take an interest in the person they're idolizing though, and also keep an eye on your child to make sure they're not internally disappearing to turn into this other person. multiple personalities is a serious condition, and here's where it starts. Disallowing makeup is only going to make the child push back in an even more rebellious manner, which will bring them down the path of the phony or insane even faster.
Case 3: this one's simple. if you really think your daughter is trying to get attention from boys, let her PLEASE just stay with makeup. disallow that, and they start to get inventive, creative, and improvisational. you know, like showing off more skin, or mistakenly forgetting that rainy days are not white T-shirt days and "accidentally" getting drenched, or just copping a feel on a guy and motioning for him behind the bleachers (the direct rebellious approach). banning makeup isn't going to solve the problem... showing footage of how every male is an asshole and how alone she's going to be just might. hand her a korn CD and a sketch pad. that'll keep her a virgin much longer, since the guys who are into that are much more afraid to approach them... takes longer.
Case 4: this one's also simple: you stop a girl's method of being an individual, they'll move to more drastic measures... like making an art of pissing you or the police department off. face it, kids want to be "different" because it's "trendy" to do so in some circles. wearing makeup that parents react in a shocking manner is what they want from you. you want to know what the best reaction is? indifference. the reason is because you need to explain to them that the real world doesn't give a shit how "individual" they are, and the sooner they catch on to that reality, the sooner they can prove how "awesome" they are via normal means, like staying low-maintenance or efficient at a job. but wait... what if it isn't the goth style they're going for? what if they just want their identity to be defined by the pretty makeup they wear? to that i ask this question: what difference does it make? they've already taken a major step in learning how to live free from the social acceptance prison that so many others live in, so just let whatever happen, happen.
i hear parents say "well, with makeup on, people will think she looks like a whore." to that, i have 2 responses:
1. how is that any different than when a grown woman does it? so many women put makeup on, but they're not whores. how is it any different with your daughter? makeup doesn't make you look like a whore; acting like a whore makes you look like a whore.
2. sounds to me like you're starved for social acceptance yourself... to the level of pressuring your own child into acting in a certain unrewardable way to escape your own insecurity. you're a self-centered asshole.
how about you focus on something worth teaching about with your child rather than bitching about such an irrelevant appearance extender/concealer. they're already wearing a mask... doing it physically isn't going to make the problem any worse.
Ok if you ask the kids in my school why i wear makeup, they will say its because it makes me look goth and im goth, but that makes no sense because i am not goth. I am myself. I wear makeup because i think it looks decent on me. Also by "makeup" i mean eye makeup. I dont wear foundation or lipstick or any other crap. Foundation makes me feel like im hiding my face, putting a mask on even. Lipstick is annoying and uncomfortable lol. So i dont even wear much makeup, but i do agree with much of what you are saying. Parents should worry about other things, and makeup does NOT make you look like a whore.
LMAO! Rewinding all when I was a teenager desiring to wear makeup, I was case 3 & 4!
Too bad my mom did not hand me a KoRn CD, ooo wait a minute KoRn were only infants, learning how to walk, I forget I am ancient, which is a good thing.
I dd learn to live free! Free to be me, without conforming into what others think and feel I should be. I am glad I am different.

The Dream Art Contest: Visions of the Civil Rights Movement and America Today is for public schools and after-school art programs (K-12) throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. The deadline for submissions is November 18, and the awards ceremony will be in early February for Black History Month.
The aim of the contest is to foster an appreciation for the relevance of history and to demonstrate the vital importance of the arts in education and in daily life.
The contest is being executed in cooperation with the DeKalb County Public Schools Foundation, Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs, Woodruff Arts Center (Young Audiences), the Hammonds House Museum, the Atlanta History Center, Fulton County Arts & Culture, and the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System, which are providing support services to enhance the educational value of the contest and to help prepare the students for their submissions. All entries are to be a portrait of someone (famous or not) from the Civil Rights Movement, a defining image of the movement, or a contemporary depiction (of people, places, or things) that pertains to the legacy of the movement today.
Qualifying Round
Each participating school and after-school program will select a first-place winner and two runner-ups in the three categories: elementary, middle, and high school. The first-place winners and runner-ups receive certificates of excellence signed by their local school superintendent. The first-place winners are then submitted on-line by a designated administrator or teacher to the county-wide semi-final round. The deadline is November 18, 2011.
Semi-Final Round
Each county public school system and participating after-school organization will set up an adjudication committee to select their semi-finalists on-line from the winners in their school-system or programs. These semi-finalists will then be submitted to the finalist judges. The deadline for the on-line semi-finalist selections is December 9, 2011.
Final Round
Seven finalist judges will choose one grand-prize winner as well as a first-place winner and two runner-ups in each of the three school categories, for a total of ten winners. The winners will be announced on-line in early February 2012. The winners are to be honored at a VIP awards ceremony to be held at the King Center in February for Black History Month and in reception/discussions at museums, galleries, and public library branches throughout Atlanta. Winners also receive gift cards and will have their work prominently displayed throughout Atlanta, at the King Center, and on billboards and in the public transportation system, public schools, public libraries, public buildings, and galleries.

The Austin Bedroom Machine offers you full five stages of air filtration to tackle a broad spectrum of allergens and indoor irritants. As the first air filtration product to carry the name and endorsement
of the National Sleep Foundation, the "Bedroom Machine" was engineered to meet the filtration requirements set by the John Hopkins University School of
Medicine. In comparison to other air purifiers available in the market place, this American made air purifier
uses two prefilters, granulated actived carbon, HEGA cloth and HEPA filter media to capture the widest ranges of particles, allergens, odors and chemicals. With an emphasis on efficient and comprehensive allergen filtration, ease of use, and durability,
the Austin Air Bedroom Machine improves indoor air quality simply and effectively.

2. IQAir Health Pro Plus Air Purifier
The IQAir HealthPro Plus is ranked by many experts as the most

particle allergens and their solid reputation as a preferred choice in residential and commercial air filtration. The large IQAir
HyperHEPA filter captures airborne particles down to 0.003 microns with a guaranteed minimum 99.5% efficiency. This means that the
IQAir air purifier can remove up to 100 times more allergens than traditional HEPA air purifiers. A thick, prefilter traps all of the large particles that shorten the lifespan of the HEPA filter while a

activated carbon to adsorb odors. Because of its low energy use, excellent filtration, ease of use and award winning design, the Blueair 503 is one
of our best for dealing with allergens. If you want a top-notch air purifier with sleek

View All Honeywell Air Purifiers
Doctors recommend HEPA air purifiers or air cleaners for allergy
sufferers. Air purifiers for allergies rely on HEPA filter technology to safely and effectively trap airborne allergens and other pollutants. HEPA
filters are guaranteed to trap 99.97% of household allergens. HEPA technology is reliable, safe, and effective.
In fact, in a 2009 report on infection control measures for healthcare settings, the Center for Disease Control
recommended that medical facilities use HEPA air purifiers
to reduce the chance of the flu spreading and being passed on to others. This goes hand-in-hand with other prevention
methods used by hospitals and clinics. HEPA filters improve indoor air quality dramatically by removing
99.97% of airborne pollutants from the air. HEPA air purifiers are another one level of protection against
contagious and potentially deadly diseases.
Do not waste your money on ozone generators or ionic air cleaners. They not only do a poor job of cleaning the air, but many
also emit ozone which is a powerful lung irritant that can damage the respiratory system and cause allergies and asthma.
Due to untruthful marketing and a cheap price tag, the ionic air cleaner became enormously popular during the 1990s
and the early part of the new millennium. Thanks to a couple of high-profile lawsuits that exposed the truth about
ionic air cleaners, people stopped buying them. As it turns out, the ionic air cleaner actually pollutes the air.
In 2002, Consumer Reports tested the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze Quadra air cleaner alongside several other air
purifiers. Sharper Image was unhappy with the published results, so they sued Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports won
the case because their test methods were deemed scientifically valid.

Long Distance Relationship..Problem
Question Posted Sunday January 20 2008, 1:50 pm
Well to start off i'm 17/M and my girlfriend is 16/F
About 6 months ago we met online and we liked each other from the start. Around four months later we figured out a way to meet..Which was really hard because I live in Virginia and she lives in Connecticut. So we met at a hockey game for her birthday..Well we really loved each other in person so we decided to go out and figure out a way to make this work for us. Around a month later, during Christmas break, my dad let me take a train to CT to spend a few days with her. Her family liked me and we had the best time ever. The problem is..I had hopes of going to college in CT so I could be closer to her and the distance would no longer be a problem. Well my dad says he wants me to go to a community college down here for a year or two then transfer to a 4-year college, and he said that is the only way he would help me pay for it. Well I would do anything to be closer to her and go to college in CT but my dad said i would have to pay for room-and-board, the out of state tuition, and food, and all the other expenses i would have. I'm not sure how i would be able to do all that on my own..but i would do anything for this girl because i love her so much. And she says she doesn't think she would be able to handle a long distance relationship for another year. Please help me..I don't know what to do and i can't lose her, we're so perfect together and I've never loved anyone like i love her.

Man, don't do it.
I have done the post-secondary thing, in Canada, where it is cheeper, and I still could not have done it without my parents assitance unless I went into DEEP DEBT.
That is the ONLY way you will manage this without parental assitance: lots of loans and a few scholarships (hopefully).
I know that you simply can't believe it right now, but the debt you will have to accept in order to do this will haunt you far longer then your broken heart. The risk you are thinking of taking could seriously mess you up for decades in the future.
Save your pennies for train fare, and see if she is willing to give it a try. If not, it wasn't meant to be.
Maybe your dad is being an ass, but he is your dad and it's his money: He's allowed to be an ass and your allowed to going tens of thousands of dollars into debt in order to chase your chickee, I just wouldn't suggest it.

Listen to your father. Don't choose a college based on a girl you are dating right now.
Seriously man, I'm sure shes fun and all, but you're 17. School is your first priority. If you and her don't work out then you will have plenty of opportunities for other things.
Don't do something stupid and especially don't burn your bridges with your parents over a girl who you've met in person... twice by my count?
Your father is setting these limits on you in hopes that you realize that trying to move to CT for her is a stupid, stereotypical teenaged move. Be smarter than that for everyone's sake.

answered Sunday January 20 2008, 9:15 pm:
First of all, I'm canadian, so I dont know how far CT is from virginia, but I can imagine from what you're saying that its a long ways away. I think that you should listen to your dad though. I know thats not what you want to hear but hear me out. If this girl really loves you, she can handle it for a year. College is really expensive, and you dont want to start your life off with a debt. My parents arent paying for my tuition, and you dont know how worried I am about having to pay for it. If your dad is willing to pay for your community college tuition and you dont have to live in a dorm, then take him up on it!!! I know you're thinking kay, this chick is an idiot, I want her to tell me what to do about seeing my girlfriend!! well heres what you have to do. Get a job. Work your ass off as much as possible and start saving up. Either you'll make enough to eventually move out there, or at least have enough to visit, but college is a big deal. dont screw it up. I know you may think that you will be together for ever, but if you move out there and you break up, then you're screwed. and on the same boat, if you dont move out there and you're scared she'll break up with you because of it, if it was meant to be your love would last through it.
Some people dont believe in long distance relationships, but I do. I think that if you find the right people then you can make it work. But remember, you're still young, if it doesnt work out ( :( ) well you have the rest of your life to find a great girl who it will work out with. But try and think seriously. This is your life you're talking about. Dont screw it up. Listen to your dad okay, I'm sure he knows what you're going through, but I'm also sure that he knows whats best for you. I know this isnt what you wanted to hear, but hopefully you made it through this advice and take what I said into concideration. I hope you figure this all out, and I hope you dont hate me for my advice. Good luck with all of this, and I hope I helped. Love ya!

I have gone through this myself.
I can see both sides of the story, your dads and your *girlfriends?*
But the first points I will pick up on is, she says she doesn't think she would be able to handle a long distance relationship for another year & he said that is the only way he would help me pay for it.
Well for a start if she loves you this much then its the simple story of she will wait for you. I know its hard, VERY hard but she will wait.
And as for your father, he should encourage you to study and put your life onto education for the time being, and if the only way you will do that is if he can help with the costs for you to go to CC then he should do it.
However, in my opinion, you should focus on your studies more so than your love life, your education only comes once to a certain degree, and you only have that opportunity once to make something of yourself, whereas love comes and goes.
I really do sympathise with the long dist. relationship cos I know what its like, but the only way I got over it was to believe he would wait for me. Unfortuneatley for me he didnt.
So underlining this I would suggest talking to her and seeing if she loves you enough to wait, and if she will then focus on convincing your father to help you with costs, if he really disagrees, I suggest you go along with him, and ask your partner to wait for you.
Good luck <3Marizzle

13 Small and Easy Steps that Will Get YOU Back on the Wagon NOW
Do NOT Give Up!
I promise you that it is totally okay that you overate this weekend. After all, one weekend doth not a fat person make. This is a time to chant our mantra, All Is Forgiven, Move On! Good. Say it again …
… All Is Forgiven, MOVE ON!
That's right. This is a time to MOVE ON, get back on track, jump back on the wagon (gracefully, please). I know – it feels overwhelming, but if you try just one (or more) of these small steps every day, you'll be back in the saddle, losing once more in no time at all! And you'll be feeling great about yourself!
13 Small and Easy Steps that WILL Get YOU Back on the Wagon NOW!
1. Take a Short Walk. Even if it's a five minute slow stroll around the block, get up and move your booty!
2. Whip up just one healthy recipe. It doesn't have to be fancy, just healthy. Oatmeal will do!!
3. Start your day with a healthy breakfast. It does make a HUGE difference!
4. Drink your water. Water is the holy life force. Go for 8 to 12 glasses a day.
5. If you BITE IT; you must WRITE IT. Start writing down what you eat (again).
6. Get Support. Join the Kick in the Tush Club; go to the boards
7. Scissors and Glue. Get busy on your vision board. Cut and paste and psych yourself up! Include pictures of your goals and words that are meaningful to you!
8. Head to the health food section of your supermarket or the health food store and stock up on healthy!
9. Do yard work. In your yard or your neighborhood garden! There's nothing better than sticking your hands in the dirt to get grounded.
10. Listen to inspirational music. What are you favorites? Please comment below, so I can listen too!
11. Eat fruits and veggies! They say that we should eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Imagine, just for today that you actually did just that! Wow, what an accomplishment.
12. Slow down and savor the flavor. I promise you, it makes all the difference. You will enjoy your food and eat much much less.
13. Crochet, sew, play cards, work on a jigsaw puzzle. Create some nighttime activity that keeps your hands busy.
If I can get back on track, YOU CAN too!
Jump on the wagon with me!!!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!
