Spell it i-r-r-e-s-i-s-t-a-b-l-e. Wait, that's not right. But however you spell "irresistible," that word aptly describes "Spellbound," a documentary about the National Spelling Bee.
Airing 8 p.m. EST Tuesday on Cinemax, the film profiles eight appealing, motivated young Americans from diverse backgrounds who face a grueling contest with 241 other teens at the finals in Washington, D.C., after outlasting more than nine million other competitors in hundreds of regional spelling bees across the country.
Among others, you'll meet Angela from Perryton, Texas, whose father is a cattle rancher who illegally entered the United States more than 20 years ago and still speaks little English; Neil from San Clemente, Calif., a teen of East Indian heritage whose grandfather has offered to feed 5,000 people in India if he wins; and Emily from New Haven, Conn., whose comfortable life also includes equestrian training.
Cheer them all in this charming, Oscar-nominated portrait.
Other shows to look out for:
- It's another kind of competition and it comes to an end Sunday with the finale of "Survivor: Pearl Islands." You know the drill: The final four castaways are reduced to two. Then the jury votes on the winner. Then there's lots of reminiscing. Plus host Jeff Probst. CBS' three-hour extravaganza starts at 8 p.m.
- Also Sunday at 8 p.m., A&E unfurls its "Biography of the Year." Who will be the person (or persons) deemed the most noteworthy of 2003? Among the candidates: Kobe Bryant, Nicole Kidman, Laci Peterson, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. Oh, yeah: Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, too. Place your bets.
- New! "The Sopranos"! Now that we have your attention: Check out a never-before-aired scene from the second season of this HBO drama series. It's a heartwarming holiday interlude with Big [filtered word] (Vincent Pastore) getting wrapped up by the Feds. Retrieved from the cutting-room floor, the two-minute sequence will be available on, no, not HBO, but online at the Amazon.com Web site- Monday only.
- Join a writing workshop at (of all places) New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility on "What I Want My Words To Do To You," a documentary that puts into the words the thoughts and feelings of these female inmates. Led by playwright Eve Ensler ("The Vagina Monologues"), the workshop invites 15 women, most of whom were convicted of murder, to delve into their pasts and explore the nature of their crimes. The film culminates with a prison performance of the women's writing by actresses including Glenn Close, Rosie Perez and Marisa Tomei. Produced by Judith Katz, "What I Want My Words To Do To You" is part of the "P.O.V." series and airs 9 p.m. Tuesday on PBS (check local listings).

Last-Minute Weekday Meal: Spicy Asian Salmon over Rice
This meal has all the hallmarks of great go-to weekday meal: quick, simple, healthy, uses 1 baking dish and one pot, and is knock-your-socks-off delicious. You can stop at the grocery store on the way home, and an hour later, be eating dinner. This recipe was inspired by my friend Zach, who many years ago in college told me about his favorite way to make salmon. It was ridiculously simple (3 ingredients: salmon, soy sauce and brown sugar) and it was phenomenal. Since then I have built on his recipe, done it on the grill, in pans, and in the oven, and have arrived at what I think is my favorite iteration of the dish. The majority of the ingredients are "pantry items", so usually all I have to buy is fish and fresh veggies:
Spicy Asian Salmon over Rice (serves 2)
- 3/4 lb salmon filet or steak
- 1 cup rice (your choice, I like jasmine)
- 4 T soy sauce
- 4 T brown sugar
- 1 T sesame oil
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 T sesame seeds
- 1 T vinegar
- 2 shallots, minced (or 1/2 an onion)
- 1-2 serrano peppers, minced (use one for medium heat, 2 for spicy! Can substitute jalapeno if you can't find serrano)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- pinch of black pepper
- vegetables of your choice (I used mini carrots, but snap peas, broccoli, water chestnuts…all will work)
Preheat the oven to 350, and bring water to a boil for the rice (according to the cooking instructions). I usually add a little salt and a pat of butter to my rice (just to make a very healthy grain less healthy, but tastier).
Mix the soy, brown sugar, sesame and olive oils, vinegar, black pepper, and minced pepper, shallots, and garlic together to make the marinade. Score the skin-side of the fish (if using a filet) with a cris-cross pattern. In a baking dish place the fish skin side up, and pour the marinade over the top. Lift the fish so that marinade gets underneath, and be sure to fill the cris-crosses on the fish with marinade and chunks of garlic, pepper, and scallions. Next, nestle the vegetables in around the fish (or all to one side) and spoon marinade over the top of them. This can be done 1-2 hours ahead (refrigerate the fish until ready) or you can pop it in the oven immediately.
When ready to cook, add the rice to the boiling water and cook the fish for 30 minutes.
To serve, portion out the rice into bowls, divide the salmon and vegetables, and ladle sauce over the top.

TNT's 'Dallas': Season 3 chances helped by steady finale ratings
While there is no question among the "Dallas" fandom that the show deserves another season to figure out what life is like without the famed J.R. Ewing, there is still a major question that has to be asked by the network: is it really worth the investment for another 10-15 episodes?
When you look back to season 1, there's no question that the show was a sensation. Nearly 7 million people caught the premiere, which is one of the best showings that TNT has had for any series ever. While that number shrunk to 4.29 million for the finale, this is still a pretty strong number for a cable series, especially a primetime soap airing off of the four major networks.
However, we're looking at a slightly different story now, with the show staying under 3 million for most episodes other than J.R.'s funeral. The one positive that fans can take away? Consistently. The season premiere was watched by 2.98 million people. As for the finale? Try 2.99 million. While cable networks don't make DVR figures publicly available, you have to imagine that the time-shifted viewing for season 2 is probably even higher than it was for the series' first season, since that show did not have to spend its run up against "The Bachelor," "The Voice," "Castle," or even another revival of an old series in "Hawaii Five-0." The good thing about the finale's live viewing numbers was that the competition actually much heavier for it than it was for the premiere.
When it comes to the coveted 18-49 rating, what we should point out here is that the 0.9 for "Dallas" is higher than what "Rizzoli & Isles" and "Major Crimes" received for some of their episodes in the fall, and it's easily outperforming "Southland" airing at this time of year. (Granted, odds are that TNT is going to cancel this show.) When it comes down to other shows that are airing during competitive months, you really have to say that this show is doing rather well in the measure that matters most to advertisers.
In looking at all the variables, we have to say that we're optimistic about the future of "Dallas," but it could still be held up if the production costs here are higher than some of their other shows. We just hope that if it survives, the network moves the show back to summer and keep it there.

Who do you trust more?

Thing is, even if he is talking to her, he might be lying because he knows it will upset you. Still, remember he is with you, not her. A lot of people have a problem with the person they are dating talking to their exes, even if it may not mean anything. I know I'm good friends with a couple of my exes, we were never meant to be an item, but our friendship is strong. He might be the same way with his ex.
my fiance told me he's still talking w/his ex-wife & they're very good friends 'til now. at first I felt bad w/it for sure 'coz me neither don't want to let him feel that my ex is more important than him... but later i realized that it's better for him to be honest w/me... as long as he knows his limitations... else if trust will be gone, it will be hard to regain... it's what im always telling him... but i do trust him, it's just sometimes it's hard to be apart...
no. but you dont let the ex do anything. either they do it or not. i think the question should be can i deal with my ex talkin to their ex
I would trust him instead of her. You are dating him. She may want him back.
Obviously the ex likes to sprit lemon onto you sweeten lemonade relationship, evidence: she tells you and tries to convince you that she still connect with him. May be they do converse occasionaly, but she exagerated it to "all the time."

Tell him what she told you, if she lies, he'll dismiss her totally without your effort. If is is the truth, then he knows to stop the act out of fear of losing you or losing her.

Just stay cool, don't let these ants crawl your nerves.
If he is, how would you stop him ? But YOU can refrain from having conversations with her, so at least she doesn't have the satisfaction of keeping you feeling insecure.
I agree with Franco - he does not need your permission. Sounds like someone is lying but it might be the ex. Why are you even talking to her anyway?
that depends on how you feel about it
Hmmm...trust his lying B***tch ex who wants to break you up? Or your boyfriend? Hmmm....which should it be?

As far as I know, each package transitions independently from unstable to testing, normally after a ten-day waiting period has passed without any serious bugs being found. Quite often a set of interdependent packages is updated in unstable at the same time, but they can still run out of synch, for example if a bug in one of the packages requires a new upload and thus restarts the waiting period for that particular package. The fact that Etch is frozen due to its imminent release means that some manual intervention is now required to bring iceweasel to Etch. I don't know how that will be handled, but I would expect that a solution will be found quickly to avoid the firefox licensing issue for the release of Etch.

Dave Van Ronk did not mean to write an autobiography. According to Elijah Wald—writer of the book's epilogue, friend of the author, and guitar student during the slow denouement of Van Ronk's musical career—Van Ronk's book was supposed to chronicle the folk music boom in Greenwich Village in the 1950s and 1960s. The Mayor of MacDougal Street was meant as a history lesson for those interested in music, or New York City, or both. Van Ronk thought he could describe the scene's political turmoil, auditory deconstruction, and social revolution without paying too much attention to his own influence. But his story was the one that needed to be told; his story encapsulates the time when the Village bred musicians and folk music defined a generation.
Van Ronk begins the story of the "Great Folk Scare"—a term coined by his friend Utah Phillips—with his own story of how he first discovered music. He recalls growing up in Queens in the 1950s and his deep appreciation for jazz. He distills his childhood into a string of "swells" and "trading licks" that make "boring… perfectly miserable" Queens tolerable, if not quite picturesque. He remembers taking guitar lessons from "Old Man" Jack, a local jazz aficionado, well known in the music community, who taught Van Ronk techniques he would adopt as his own. Jack also instilled in Van Ronk the ever-more-important lesson of listening.
He would sit his students down, put on a Duke Ellington or a Joe Venuti-Eddie Lang record, and analyze with us… he would play a record without saying who it was and then ask, 'Who was that on tenor?' This was not just some kind of parlor game… he was making us listen… To be a musician requires a qualitatively different kind of listening, and that is what he was teaching us.
Van Ronk carried this moral with him through the rest of his musical career.
He barrels through his formative years with quick anecdotes about getting kicked out of school, taking up the ukulele one day while painfully bored during a summer trip to Ohio, and starting a quartet called the Harmonotes with some neighborhood kids. These events happen one right after the next, from good fortune to perfect timing, with the rough patches still feeling altogether acceptable and necessary. He chalks up every encounter to "well, this was just the way it was" as if it could not have happened any other way. But if the reader retraces the steps of his past self and questions the what-ifs, the serendipity of Van Ronk's life events is fairly astounding. If Van Ronk didn't get kicked out of school, if he continued with the piano instead of the ukulele, and if he didn't meet a girl who introduced him to the musicians of Washington Square Park, would we know him at all? (Time travel is terribly complicated, so all we can say is good thing it happened in the exact order it did.)
America was rocked by political unrest and social upheaval in the 1960's, and Van Ronk dedicates almost half the book to explaining the different teams on the playing field. He himself searched for a happy medium between socialism and individualism, and eventually settled on libertarianism. But his search offers a deeper understanding of what folk meant to the musicians of the time, and why the genre caught on so fervently. About twenty years prior to the folk revolution, musicians including Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie had begun to use folk as a vehicle for political activism, and they formed a commune in the Village called the Almanac House.
Almanac House became a kind of song factory, churning out topical, occasional, and protest songs at an unbelievable clip… Art was considered to be a tool… As odd as it may seem now, many of these people were embarrassed to write a love song because the Spanish Civil War was going on, or the steelworkers were on strike, or Mussolini was invading Ethiopia… their compositions ended up being as obsessively focused on one subject (politics) as the commercial music they despised was on another (romantic love).
For Van Ronk, politics and folk music go hand in hand, and he describes the connection in a way that is both touching and amusing. He recounts the ugly effects that the Red Scare had on his Communist (and Communist-supporting) counterparts with stories about blacklisting and rough treatment by authorities. According to Van Ronk, Pete Seeger was often turned away from performances because of his affiliation with Communism. Van Ronk notes that everyone had an affiliation, and everyone had an opinion.
"What are your politics anyway?"
"I'm an anarchist," I said. That usually shut them up.
"Oh yeah? Have you read Kropotkin? Bakunin? Nechaiev?"
I was caught flat footed. This was the first I had heard that you had to read to be an anarchist.
Soon, it seemed everyone was jumping in on the folk game, a genre that Van Ronk defines in this way:
We used the word 'folk' to describe a process rather than a style. By this definition—to which I still subscribe—folk songs are the musical expression of preliterate or illiterate communities and necessarily pass directly from singer to singer.
Well known influencers soon joined his folk music party: Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez became Van Ronk's friends and musical rivals. More to the point, the surge of new talent highlighted this profound time in history when ordinary people came together to make extraordinary music. (We're still living in its wake: Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers are just two contemporary bands that draw inspiration from folk music.) With a nonchalant flair for storytelling that borders on bragging, Van Ronk sprinkles in stories about his musical collaborations with Mitchell and falling out with Dylan. He meanders through this part of the book, injecting the timeline with stories about living through winters in Greenwich Village, cutting a record, playing gigs at this bar or that coffee house, struggling to pay rent, and eventually becoming the Mayor of MacDougal Street. To him, the sequence of events don't matter as much as the accumulation, and the swell of creative expression during the time can be told in different ways, from different points of entry.
Van Ronk presents the origins of folk music in the most indeterminate way, as if he could never truly articulate the energy that surrounded this community of players. He seems to be trying to convince himself that it happened at all. On numerous occasions, he recalls, "there was an exhilarating sense of something big right around the corner." But for him, fame never came. He never earned the same degree of recognition as Dylan or Mitchell or some of his other contemporaries. But that is why his story needs to be told. He is the godfather of folk, and, in some ways, the glue that held this folk revival together: he was there from the beginning to set up the careers of those we know well.
The Mayor of MacDougal Street is a history lesson that acknowledges those special moments in time, for all of us, when ordinary stories have extraordinary consequences.

Legal briefs and swim trunks
The word lawyer, for some, can bring to mind images of someone in a dark suit toiling over stacks of legal briefs in a wood-paneled office. For Brian Spielman '06, however, the legal profession has taken him to one of the most beautiful places in the world—the sun-drenched Republic of Palau, an island located in the western Pacific Ocean.
Last September, on the recommendation of his wife's friend, he accepted a job as court counsel for Palau's Supreme Court, and now he gets to practice law amid sandy beaches, hundreds of tiny islands, and the best scuba-diving spots in the world.
Spielman describes his role as "part judicial clerk and part in-house counsel. Like a judicial clerk, I draft proposed opinions to resolve trial and appellate motions. Like an in-house counsel, I advise the court on a wide range of legal questions, including the creation and administration of court rules and procedures."
Adjusting to his new job has been relatively easy, since Palau's legal system is modeled after American federal courts, and the Rules of Procedure in Palauan courts are nearly identical to their American counterparts. Despite the similarities, however, there are also major differences between Palauan and American jurisprudence. Since Palau is a much smaller nation, with only 21,000 citizens, they have only three major courts, and the Supreme Court serves a dual role, conducting important trials and being the court of appeals. Also, the Palauan Constitution gives equal weight to unwritten cultural traditions as it does to written statutes.
As he explains, "In essence, the courts recognize that practices that have been followed for centuries may, under certain circumstances, have the same force as law."
A political science major at Wheaton, he credits Wheaton for developing some of the skills he uses as a lawyer.
"I am often called upon to think quickly and then write or speak clearly," he said. "These are skills I developed in Wheaton's small classes, in which writing and oral advocacy were required on a regular basis."
Additionally, he credits Professor Jay Goodman's "American Political Systems" course for preparing him for law school, since the format of the class is very similar to a law school class.

I was at the last week of spring training in Sarasota and saw the Yankees and Pirates games. I took my 2 boys (9 and 7) to get some autographs after the game with the Yanks. We lined up with about a dozen other people at the exit of the players parking lot.
Many players drove out with windows rolled up, talking on cell phones (or pretending to be on cell phones) and didn't even wave. These included EE, Homer, Volquez, and some others I didn't recognize. Marty was on the cell phone but at least waved. Brandon rolled his window down and said he couldn't sign because he had to get to the airport (there were only 15 of us including 3 little kids, 4 teens and one boy in a wheel chair). I saw him ignore requests Thursday at the game too. Didn't see Votto or Harang leaving.
The good guy awards go to Jerry Hairston, Micah, Adam Rosales, Kepp, Dickerson, Bray, Bruce, Darnell, and some others I'm probably forgetting. A couple notable stories: Hairston was one of the first to stop his car. He was also on the cell phone but stopped and excused himself from the call and signed a few through his car window. Then he got out of the car and posed for a picture with the boy in the wheel chair and signed a few more before leaving. I have new appreciation for him. Jerry, you're a good guy. Micah and Adam were climbing into a car near the exit and one in our little group called over to them. They got back out of the car and walked around the fence and stood with us signing and talking. Bruce, Bray, Dickerson, McDonald and others all signed from their car windows and made sure to sign every autograph. Keppinger was seen driving into the lot (I now know that he had been summoned to the office to speak with Dusty about being traded). Someone in our group yelled, "hey Kepp, we'll catch you on the way out". Sure enough Kepp stopped 20 minutes later on his way out of the lot and signed, but he told us "you know I'm not with the Reds anymore". We told him good luck in Houston and that we'd be pulling for him. So even though he had just been told he was traded minutes earlier he stopped and was gracious with us.
At Thursday's Pirates game I witnessed Eric Davis, Dusty, and Weathers signing on the field. And EE signed a few in the handicapped section. Micah came over to the handicapped section too. And Adam Rosales signed again. Arroyo stopped and signed about 3 balls and then left explaining to the other half dozen people "I have carpal tunnel bad". A couple people later said yeah right. Turns out he does!! He shouldn't have signed those 3 balls to begin with, but he was a good guy.
All in all it was great to be there. Fun for the kids to interact with the players. But interesting to see who's selfish with their time and who isn't. Maybe we caught some of them on a bad day and I'm sure it gets old trying to honor all the requests. But I just don't think some of them realize how great they have it and how thankful they should be for the fans.

Hi! I'm Amy Lang and…
I love to talk about sex!
And I've been talking about it since…drum roll please…1991.
A long damn time.
Sexual health education and counseling were my passion for over 16 years. After I had my son in 2000, I turned it into my life's work. That's over 25 years, my friend.
Over 25 years as a sex education expert.
I love helping people deal with the really difficult and uncomfortable circumstances that happen in the world of sexuality.
But then I had a kid and THIS happened…
The minute I thought my son was going to ask me a question about his penis I totally freaked-out.
Yes, me.
Freaked. Out.
(And I know all about penises and how they work and where they go, even – I bet you have a pretty good idea too!)
When it came time to talk to my child about sex I was totally unprepared for the conversations.
- I didn't know how much to tell him.
- I didn't know what to tell him.
- I didn't know when to tell him or even how to tell him.
Sound familiar?
…So, I figured it all out for my family and my kid and then I put those years of sexual health educating and my degree in adult education to work and created Birds & Bees & Kids. I figured other parents probably needed help with this important part of parenting, too.
After I started my company, our wonderful childcare provider was wrongly accused of molesting a child and this inspired me to teach folks who work directly with children about childhood sexual development and sexual abuse prevention.
I am super-proud to get to work with the United States Air Force Youth and Family Services programs and Boys & Girls Clubs.
Do you want to make child sexual abuse, teen pregnancy and the seemingly endless supply of shame, embarrassment and misinformation about sexuality a thing of the past?
I really, really do and I bet you do too, especially when it comes to your kids.
My mission is to help every kid grow up to be a whole and healthy adult by teaching the grownups who love and care for them how to openly and confidently talk about sexuality.
When you are confident that you really are the best sex educator for your children, sex talks become easier and regular part of your family life.
This means your kids are safer, your parenting load is lighter and together, you can give your kids what you probably did not get: a kick-ass sexuality education that helps your kiddos make great sex and relationship decisions later in life.
What people say about me
I'm still so grateful for you coming to our preschool and opening my eyes, freaking me out and giving me confidence and at the same time making us all think critically and know our rationale for parenting choices. You are a fabulous presenter and I love what you are doing for so many children and their families. Thank You.
-Aletha B.
We highly recommend Amy to anyone that has interactions with children. This would include parents, teachers, and youth based programs. Amy has a skill set that is very unique and it is obvious that she is a master in the field of sexuality in children. If you have not done this training with your organization, it is a must.
-Tanya Larkin, Regional Director of Early Learning & Child Care, Boys & Girls Clubs of King County
Amy Lang is a parent's best-friend-with-benefits when it comes to the sex talks!
-Dan Savage, America's Advice Columnist
Amy Lang makes talking about sex feel like talking about winning the lottery – there are a million wonderful things to do; a million awesome ways to have the conversation.
-Cheryl Murfin, Seattle's Child Magazine

Probably no, but I am not exactly sure what your concern is. Are you saying that people would be tempted to do margin: auto(100% - 1em); and get wrong? If that's the case, why wouldn't people get wrong by thinking margin: auto1em; would work? Is is the parenthesis notation that allures the authors to drop the whitespace in the middle? (In your example, "animation: attr(anim);" isn't valid because "attr(anim)" is a <string>.) Cheers, KennyReceived on Wednesday, 20 June 2012 07:58:42 UTC

Jimmy Paz works at Guantanamera, his mother's restaurant. Once a detective with the Miami PD, he resigned after learning that shooting someone was an experience he could never repeat. Now he enjoys spending time in the restaurant and taking care of his wife, Lola, an extremely busy doctor, and his seven-year-old daughter, Amelia.
Moie is a shaman, and member, of the Runiya tribe in the rainforest in the Amazon. After a priest is murdered, he speaks to Moie before entering the spirit realm. Moie and his people are in danger when outsiders plan to come in and destroy the rainforest. With his jaguar god, Moie heads to Miami to face those bent on demolishing his home.
Paz no longer wishes to discuss any police work but when his ex-partner Tito Morales comes to talk about a case with him; he has a tinge of regret. Tito tells him the victim was yanked from the balcony and then opened like a can of beans in his garden, , with his throat and heart ripped out. The strangeness of it all points to either an Indian or a big cat in the area. It prompts Paz to recall some of the heart-thumping dreams he has dealt with of late, including visions of killings, a powerful figure, Amelia, and a large cat. In no time, Paz is forced back into police work and wrapped up in helping to solve the crimes when more brutal attacks take place. In Paz's search for answers, he learns that someone named Moie is well aware of the jaguar. He claims to travel with one that is a god that helps him in his confrontations. Paz learns that Moie is not only interested in the rainforest but in Amelia, too. In no time, Paz is in the midst of the crimes, as he tries to unlock the strange dreams he has that seem to connect to his mother in some way. Paz is not certain whether these are dreams or hallucinations, but they feel, frighteningly and horrifically real. When Amelia begins having her own frightening nightmares, Paz must find answers soon before Amelia becomes the next sacrifice.
Night of the Jaguar blends the supernatural and science, creating a bone-chilling reaction in this exhilarating read. Gritty, provocative and superbly entertaining, Michael Gruber pens a well-written tale that does not disappoint. I was totally engrossed with the detailed descriptions of the jaguar. For a moment there, it was as if the jaguar's eyes were staring straight through the pages. Moie, Paz, even little Amelia, are well-developed characters that heighten the tension in this entertaining thriller. The imagery amazes me, and the intricate story details make whether the jaguar is really some kind of god or shapeshifter a mystery. This thought-provoking story is one addictive read.

Three little words - "back to school" - have the impact of hundreds, including, "Oh, no."
I think I was supposed to dread it, but inwardly I looked forward to strapping on my button-down shirts …
Three little words - "back to school" - have the impact of hundreds, including, "Oh, no."
I think I was supposed to dread it, but inwardly I looked forward to strapping on my button-down shirts and khakis and returning to the classroom.
My educational path was a lesson in American geography. I attended eight schools in four states. My father was either transferred or promoted. At least, that's what he said. Maybe we were one step ahead of the feds.
A new school year always meant my mother and father would give me a couple of new shirts, and something else: a three-ring binder with a blank, blue canvas cover.
Budding artists will draw or paint on anything that is blank. My new binder was my annual opportunity to show off.
Late summers were spent considering the new school year's drawing. I understood that pencil drawings smeared, and markers didn't exist. That left me with ball-point pens.
The majority of my drawings featured animals, like wolverines and bruins.
The animals didn't stop there: I studied with Miss Bird and Mrs. Hare. Miss Bird was 100 years old (that's what we all thought), and a caricature of mean-natured, elderly schoolmarm.
Mrs. Hare was as meek as her name. She was in her first year of teaching, and in her first year of marriage. Double jeopardy. I hope she was more successful at home.
Back then, schools provided just about everything we needed - except for binders and Pee Chees.
Things have changed.
One Jefferson County school asked every student to bring five dozen pencils, because of the school's low supply.
Costs overall have rocketed. One article (The Denver Post) stated, "In the last decade, the price of supplies and extracurricular activities increased by 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle school students, and 68 percent for high school students."
When I changed sides and became an educator myself, a new school year meant that I had as many as 120 eyes (three classes worth) giving me the once over.
My very first morning as a college educator is an indelible memory. I am glad it is not on YouTube. I think I said, "I am the walrus. Goo goo goo joob," and dismissed them.
Much later on in my career, I walked around the classroom on opening day with a sense of command and a sense of humor.
I'd tell them I learned to draw in "Pencil-vania," and wait for the laughter to die down.
I'd tell them that Van Gogh had a good ear for music.
When I was in high school, art classes were perceived as a version of recess. However, college art classes are far from it (or should be) and that often surprised my incoming freshmen.
I enjoyed seeing their eyes widen when I handed them the nine-page syllabus.
I heard gulps.
Do I miss teaching? Yes and no. Yes, because I worked with some very talented, intelligent, involved, and hard-working artists and scholars.
No, because I worked with the opposite, and too many students who were grade-driven and often grade-obsessed.
Increasingly, faculty were expected to do a hill of accountability paperwork.
And not only that, most college-level drawing students are a little sketchy.

"Derby is quite traditional, but in a good way, the people are friendly and the cost of living is very reasonable. All major factors on why I came here." Justin Walker, Graduate Entry Medicine
Derby is England's most central city, home to 250,000 people, and currently investing in a £2 billion transformation. Derby has excellent transport links by both road and rail, with trains to Nottingham and Birmingham at least every half hour throughout the day, while a short distance to the south is the Nottingham East Midlands Airport .
Our Lonsdale Hall website (pdf) contains information on accommodation for students based at the Royal Derby Hospital Centre.
Find out about the hall, room types and fees..
Visit Derby contains ideas about what to see and do in the city, including accommodation and city map, as well as local events and attractions.
For a breath of fresh air, try Darley Park by the riverside; Kedleston Hall; and of course, the Peak District National Park. It's the UK's first national park and is easily accessible by bus from Derby city centre.
Highlights include Chatsworth House and Bakewell but there are hundreds of walks and miles of impressive scenery.
Discover more parks and outdoor attractions in Derby at Visit Derby.
In and around Derby there is an extensive choice of sports and leisure facilities. Derby County football team's ground, Pride Park Stadium, is also within a short distance of the city.
The Peak District, one of the most beautiful of Britain's national parks is nearby and only a few miles away you can find the Swadlincote Ski Centre. There are facilities for fitness, cycling, rock climbing and sailing in and around the city.
For a small city, Derby boasts a surprising variety of performance venues. The Assembly Rooms, the Guildhall, Derby Theatre, Deda (Derby Dance Centre) and the QUAD arts centre all have full programmes, while annual events include the Derby Folk Festival, Darley Park Concert and iD, an international film festival.
The Derby Museum and Art Gallery is home to the largest collection of Joseph Wright paintings and the Royal Crown Derby factory is the oldest surviving manufacturer of English porcelain.
Many nightclubs, theatres, multi-screen cinemas, pubs and a huge choice of eating-places are to be found in the centre of the city. Derby's nightlife is a vibrant mix of pubs, clubs, theatres, restaurants and live music, with many places holding regular student nights or offering NUS discounts, helping students get more for their money.
The city is also rated as one of the safest cities in the region. Derby's also been described in Lonely Planet as the "best place to drink real ale in the world".
Different areas of the city offer different shopping experiences: there are boutiques in the Cathedral Quarter, traditional high street shopping in St Peter's Quarter and over 190 stores, restaurants and a cinema in the recently opened Intu Centre.
You won't go hungry in Derby: Chinese, French, Greek, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Spanish, Thai and Turkish are all on offer. There are high street names like Pizza Express and Zizzi, but also independently run cafes such as Jack Rabbits to seek out. Don't miss the food and drink or beer festivals either!

I'll be rooting for Daley. I tend not to watch or read anything MMA related besides the fights themselves, so I'm unconcerned about which of these two gentlemen is the bigger shitcock on a personal level, but in this day and age, fighting with your hands as low as Diaz does is inexcuseable and it is my considered opinion that getting knocked the hell out early on in the fight by the notoriously heavy-handed Daley might be just the thing to get him to stop fighting like such a tosser and learn how to box properly.
Mousasi beats Jardine handily. Why a mid-level fighter like Jardine gets the opportunity to get dominated by somebody like Mousasi is beyond me.

Lambs to the slaughter, then. Hopefully, that will boost Mousasi's stock enough to let him have a stab at Henderson. That would be an interesting fight to watch for certain.

Daley knocks out Diaz in the second.
Cyborg really gave Nick problems standing up before he gassed. Daley has better kicks and with elbows now legal and nick's propensity to bleed.....Nick's Stockton Wangsta mentality will dictate him to trade with Daley.
Daley has speculated that Nick's uncharacteristically quiet demeanor means that he is trying to Kosheck him with a gameplan fight. This is only an attempt to nudge Nick into proving "I ain't no bitch!"
Nick's weak takedowns may not be good enough to take down someone as strong as daley. If he is able to take him down he wins this running away. If this fight goes to round 4 daley will probably tap himself out.
I would love to see Jardine get an upset here....dude comes to fight...he has a fighter's chance....

If Daley sucker punches Nick after the bell we're gonna see a conniption that'll make Strikeforce: Nashville look like a game of Calvin Ball.

I really think Paul Daley is getting a ridiculously bad rap. Did he go out like a bitch last year? yes. But Kosheck got in his head with all the **** talking about knocking him out standing in their fight and then humped his leg for 15 minutes. Even Nick Diaz said he understood where Daley was coming from. There will be no sucker punch...it's not even on the menu.

Family is elated at news
Page Tools
The family of Australian hostage Douglas Wood is elated he has been freed, their spokesman says.
"I've spoken to the family in the last half hour or so and the word that they used to describe their reaction is elated," family spokesman Neil Smail told reporters in Canberra.
Mr Wood's three brothers, Graham, Malcolm and Vernon tonight released a statement saying they were delighted their sibling had been released.
"It has been a horrifying ordeal for him. They family is greatly relieved," the statement said.
No one from the family had actually spoken to him. "Not to my knowledge yet," Mr Smail said.
He did not know when Mr Wood would leave Iraq, or where he would go when he did.
But the family had expressed thanks to Australian Mufti Sheikh Taj Aldin Alhilali for his efforts to help secure Mr Wood's release.
"They were grateful for everything that the sheikh did.
"He was not well himself and he put himself in some danger going to a dangerous city. So they were very grateful for everything that he's done during this really torrid six weeks," he said.
Mr Smail said the family had no details on the state of Mr Wood's health.
A good night's sleep was next on the agenda for the family members.
Vernon Wood will fly to Canberra from Melbourne tomorrow morning to join Malcolm Wood in making a formal statement to the media.

Backpacker Magazine on the Jesus Trail
The Jesus Trail crew was excited to welcome Backpacker Magazine senior editor Dennis Lewon and acclaimed photographer Jason Florio to the trail this March. The two came to walk the trail for a story for Backpacker Magazine scheduled to come out in 2012. We couldn't have asked for better weather for the six days of exploring, walking and photographing the Jesus Trail.
Dennis is an experienced and seasoned journalist, editor and adventure traveler who has worked with North America's outdoor industry-leading magazines Backpacker and Outside. Jason (www.floriophoto.com) captures amazing images from all around the world, including taking portraits of local leaders on his 900-km trek around the perimeter of the Gambia, and documenting Somalian pirates and Burmese freedom fighters. We really enjoyed the opportunity to learn from these experienced adventurers, and also to share the sites and friendships along the trail that we value so much.
Each day we were met with friendly faces from across the diverse ethnic and religious spectrum that makes up the Galilee. At one point, Jason mentioned that walking the Jesus Trail feels like being inside of a "cultural washing machine," with new diverse experiences each day. From the beginning we've believed that the Jesus Trail is a world-class hiking route, and continued experiences such as the ones we shared with Dennis and Jason only confirm this to us.
We're looking forward to seeing the story in print in the coming year.
Highlights of the journey:
- Two days in Nazareth, visiting the local sites including Nazareth Village, the Basilica of the Annunciation and the White Mosque and hearing the story of the Fauzi Azar Inn and other local businesses.
- Walking to Cana via Zippori, enjoying the ancient Byzantine mosaics and the hospitality of Arab Christians Sami and Suad Bellan in Cana. Several couples from various continents were renewing their wedding vows at the Catholic Wedding Church at Cana.
- In Ilaniya, the privilege of meeting with local historian Estie Yankelevitch, who took us to ruins of the Arab village Shejera, and showed us an ancient synagogue, wine presses, and tombs including an ancient tomb with a menorah on the wall from the Jewish town during the Roman era. We shared a Shabbat meal with Avie and Estie's family at Yarok Az Ecolodge.
- Walking over the Horns of Hattin with a marvelous clear view and explosion of wildflowers in every direction.
- At the Nebi Shu'eib shrine we met with Shafiq Tarif, a Druze leader, who told us more about his little-known religion. Nearby at the ruins of the village of Hattin, a Christian family from Bar'am was having a barbecue. They invited us to eat a pork sandwich with them– the first pork those of us who live here have eaten in a long time!
- At Shavit's Arbel Guesthouse, owner Sara Shavit told the story of her parents' miraculous escape from the Holocaust and shared her pride and happiness in now having a large family of her own and a family made up of the guests she hosts daily at their B&B. Her husband, Israel, prepared a sumptuous feast of lamb casserole and many fresh and tasty salads and spreads.
- The final walking day took us down Arbel cliffs where we met a friendly group from Sakhnin also hiking, who invited us to visit their village.
- We finished the walk at the Sea of Galilee, with a visit to several churches and the ruins of Capernaum.

Liverpool, NY
I'm an artist specializing in graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, and pastel. I'm a self taught artist, and have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Until a few years ago I drew strictly for my own pleasure. After a lot of prodding from friends, I finally decided to sell my drawings and prints. I specialize in animals and people, but I also do landscaped and still life.
In my galleries you will find my animal drawings, some of my celebrity drawings, and a few landscapes and still life drawings. You'll also find my little cartoon dragon I created named CJ. He's always bouncing around in my head, so I couldn't leave him out. I print him on T shirts for craft fairs, but if you are interested in having a print they are available.
I am always trying to learn new mediums. I've done watercolor, acrylic, oils, sculpted with stone and clay, and am venturing into inks at the moment, but I always come back to graphite, pastels, and charcoal.
If you have a question for me, or are interested in commissioning me to do a drawing for you, feel free to email me.

April 5, 2011. A Jazz team simply trying to build momentum as they approached the off-season faced off against a Lakers team just cruising until the playoffs started. Not exactly a key match up for either team. Irrelevance of the game aside, the Jazz were playing in L.A. against a team that they had gotten used to losing to in a place where they almost never won.
It was during this seemingly insignificant game that we saw a spark of promise–even brilliance–from 21-year-old Butler hero Gordon Hayward. Hayward went toe-to-toe with Kobe Bryant, and by most accounts Hayward outplayed the seasoned all-star, besting him in FG %, rebounds, steals, blocks and points. It was Hayward who guarded Bryant during the final play of the game, with the Lakers trailing by a point, when Bryant lost control of the ball and the Jazz left the Staples Center with a rare win, 86-85.
After the game, Bryant said of Hayward, "I'm very, very fond of him," which might be one of the weirdest things we have ever heard Bryant say.
But he continued: "He's a very skilled, all-around player. I think he's going to have a very bright future in this league. He reminds me of a more talented Jeff Hornacek. Jeff couldn't put the ball on the floor as well as [Hayward] can." At that point, it was hard to tell if Bryant was just messing with Jazz nation. Better than Hornacek? We could only hope.
A couple weeks later, the Jazz closed the season against the playoffs-bound Denver Nuggets, winning 107-103, and Hayward did not disappoint. Hayward went 12-17 from the field, including five 3-pointers, 5-5 from the stripe, and he had a career-high 34 points. After a tumultuous season, including the biggest post-all-star break collapse any team has suffered in the history of the NBA, Jazz fans were in a celebratory mood. With streamers falling from the rafters, and a smiling Al Jefferson hugging teammates, you could almost hear Kevin O'Connor sighing in relief: "We didn't waste our lottery pick!"
Yessir, things were looking good for the Jazz, and especially for Mr. Hayward.
Fast-forward to the 2011-2012 season. Through 13 games Hayward has struggled to put the ball in the basket, which has been evident not only in lower FG percentage, but also in a more timid Hayward near the rim. Hayward has developed a frustrating habit of driving within a few feet of the basket and then dishing it to a teammate who doesn't have as good a look as Hayward did. That is a player who does not want to shoot the ball.
And it's not only when he drives to the basket. Against the Clippers Tuesday night, Hayward found himself with the ball and a clear 3-point look with the closest defender at least six feet away. Hayward hesitated a second and then flipped the ball to Devin Harris as the crowd began to make noise, urging Hayward to take that shot. Harris quickly zipped the ball back to Hayward, who was still open, and he begrudgingly hefted the 3-pointer, which missed badly.
One can only hope that Hayward is simply suffering from a textbook sophomore slump. Compared to his rookie year, so far this season Hayward is down six percent in FG % and is down a disconcerting 16 % from 3-point land. The good news is that, well, it's not all bad news for Hayward. While his offensive production is down, his FT %, rebound and block averages are up slightly, and he's averaging 2.5 more assists per game this season than last, though that might have more to do with his hot-potato offensive strategy than any conscious effort to find open teammates.
Last night's game against the Clippers may have been his poorest showing of the season, as Hayward finished 0-4 from the field with three rebounds and three points off of free throws. No assists, no steals, and no blocks. While things have gone much better than expected for the Jazz through the first 13 games of the season, it seems that their success has had little to do with last year's rising star. I sincerely hope Hayward can find his confidence soon, because the Jazz's February schedule does not look nearly so kind as their January schedule has been.

Dream Beauties are part of the vintage My Little Pony collection. They were printed in Year 8, between 1989 and 1990. Unlike any other My Little Ponies, Dream Beauties were made to look very much like real horses, with slender legs and long noses, and realistic musculature. Like other My Little Ponies, however, they wore symbols and came in bright colors, some with glittery or pearly bodies, or with wings or other ornamentation. All Dream Beauties were printed with eyeshadow, like the various groups of Sweetheart Sister Ponies, the Rockin' Beat Ponies, and the Tropical Ponies.

We are a fully public Golf Club, therefore, all of our facilities including the driving range are open to anyone.
We do not offer any full memberships at the Golf Club, however, we do offer Prepaid Elite programs that allow you to receive deeper discounts towards green fees. These are typically sold in the off-season for the following year, and are available on a limited basis.
General public can book up to 2 weeks in advance, and our Elite Members can book up to 4 weeks in advance. You can book several tee times in advance if you wish, although any cancellations must be made within our cancellation policy.
Cancellations made within our 24 hour cancellation window will be charged the full amount of the green fee, however, a credit for 100% of the charges is prepared and available for future use during the same calendar year. Any cancellations outside of the 24 hour window will simply be removed from our booking sheet with no charges.
We lengthened our tee time intervals a few years back to 9 minutes apart, which means less golfers and less traffic on the course on any given day. This has drastically improved our pace of which is currently at an average of 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Yes, we operate under the same umbrella. Although the Country Club is a members only facility, several of our events utilize both the Golf Club and Country Club amenities. Certain membership categories at the Country Club allow signing privileges and discounts at the Golf Club. Our Elite Cardholders have limited access to the dining facilities at the Country Club. There is also a direct route cart path that our golfers can take back and forth if they wish to utilize both Golf Club & Country Club facilities.
Club Elite Members are actually members at the Richmond Hill Country Club who receive privileges at the Golf Club. When you are a Spa Club or Body Zone category member at the Country Club, you can enroll as a Club Elite member. Club Elite members receive 20% off all green fees and 20% off power carts throughout the season.
Because of the length of our course and 3 different tee decks, our course is very beginner friendly. Because it is quite narrow and has several hazards throughout the course, it is challenging for more advanced players as well. We recommend beginners to play in twilight hours when it is not as busy so you are not feeling rushed. Green fees are reduced and you do not need to play all 18 holes.
Simply call our Golf Learning Centre at (905) 889-4653 ext.448 and we will answer any questions you may have. Bookings can be made over the phone and payments usually occur prior to first lesson.
Over the phone bookings can be made up to 1 week in advance and require a contact phone number and email address to send confirmation. Bookings can be made up to 4 weeks in advance through our online tee time reservation system using GolfNow, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
We request 24 hours notice if you must cancel your tee time or reduce the number of players in your group. A email tee time reminder will be sent out 24 hours in advance. Any No Shows or cancellations made within 24 hours may result in the requirement to book online only for future reservations using a valid credit card.
We consider inclement weather to be a part of the game of golf, however, if you are forced to abandon your round due to heavy consistent rain, lighting, course flooding, or if the golf course is deemed unplayable by RHGC staff, we will gladly issue a rain check under the following guidelines:
We will not issue rain checks due to the threat of poor weather or light showers. All rain checks issued will include value of green fees and power/pull carts. Any rain checks issued prior to September 1st will expire at the end of the season, rain checks issued after this date will expire June 30th of the following season. All rain checks are fully transferable.

Moosehead Lake, Baxter State Park, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, and the four-season resort town of Greenville are dispersed within Maine's remote North Woods. This vast area in the state's north-central section is best experienced by canoe, kayak, or white-water raft; along the hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country-skiing, or snowmobiling trails; or on a fishing trip. As Maine's largest lake, Moosehead supplies more in the way of rustic camps, guides, and outfitters than any other northern locale. Its 400-plus miles of shorefront, three-quarters of which is owned by lumber companies or the state, are virtually uninhabited.
Don't go to these destinations in 2017—try our suggestions instead.More
