Taylor Swift and Lisa Kudrow just performed 'Smelly Cat' together on stage.
Yup, that's right. Possibly the greatest pop duo combination the human imagination could possibly create.
Swift was headlining a sold-out concert at the Los Angeles Staples Centre as part of her epic 1989 tour when the she was joined by the 52-year-old actor.
So @taylorswift13 is THE best person I've ever met. That was fun. Thanks Taylor.— Lisa Kudrow (@LisaKudrow) August 27, 2015
The famously terrible song featured in a number of episodes of 'Friends', usually performed by Kudrow's character, Phoebe.

But in third season episode 'The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner', the song got a professional makeover (albeit with someone else's voice).
So altogether now...
Smelly cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault!
They won't take you to the vet,
You're obviously not their favorite pet,
You may not be a bed of roses
You're no friend to those with noses!
I promise you before we're done
All the world will smell as one!

Case Studies
Case Study
GeoThermal Product Animation
Client Needs: A GeoThermal company (Terra Source) came to us looking to create an animation on how their new energy efficient GeoThermal heating and cooling system works. They needed a full demonstration from how it is installed to how the system operates with a voice narrative. One of the most important aspects of their product was the do-it-yourself installation capabilities. The budget for this animation was to not exceed $5000 and the video was to last no longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
GIS Virtual's Solution: Terra Source was very particular on how they wanted the animation to look. Upon the detailed discussion, we agreed that they would put together a script for us to work off of. Once the script was approved GIS Virtual team went to work. We modeled a house to show how the geothermal system is installed and what is involved in this step-by-step process. To save some design time GIS Virtual proposed to use a stock model of a house instead of doing a custom design. TerraSource supplied us with multiple photographs of the components from finished packaging to fully installed systems. We custom modeled the water tubes (coils), a manifold, water heater, heat pump, various valves, and a thermostat. Following the script, we compiled a detailed animation that showed how trenches were to be excavated, loops placed in the ground, illustrated different kinds of installation and finished with the entire system connected and components in place.
Results: This animation video is now the first item you see when you visit TerraSource's geothermalheaters.com website. It used for their basic marketing and product demonstration needs to help consumers understand how the system is installed and operates.

Guilty, as charged. I try not to be a judgmental person, but when it comes to books I let myself run wild. The truth is, I'm drawn to books by the work of art on the cover. As a reader I need a book's cover to interest or inspire me.
If you click the photo, you can follow the link to New York Times favorite book cover designs of 2012. I really enjoyed looking through these works of art, and honestly I want to read every single book! (What else is new?)
Do you have any favorite book covers? And be honest, are you a book-cover judger?

Howdy everyone Jessica Valentine here, today I am going to round up the good, the bad, and the most surprising video games of this year. In other words YAY! BOO… and Oh Cool. Lets start with the BOO… shall we? I would hate to leave it for last best we get it out of the way.
And here we go… My biggest disappointment for gaming this year cannot be attributed to just one game, but the delays that pushed back the releases of a few games that I anxiously awaited. *Cough* BioShock Infinite*Cough*Luigi's Mansion 2*Cough*. Sorry about that I must be sick. Sick of WAITING! Moving on and regaining my composure, I should mention that this year I have been let down by many a game, but one game immediately springs to mind when I think of the word disappointment. I had such high hopes for this game, only to be let down. So, the award for Jessica's Biggest Disappointment of 2012 goes to… Drum-roll please…The Secret World.
Dear The Secret World, you broke my heart. I wanted to love you, I really did, your concept, your art, your ideas were fantastic. I thought you would be the one to rope me into MMO's Then I took you home… For those of you not familiar with The Secret World it is a MMO set in the real world, but with just one difference. Every conspiracy theory or myth turns out to be true. Cool, right? Players are given a choice of 3 factions, the Illuminati, the Templars or the Dragon. Personally I chose the Illuminati because hey with a faction tagline of "Sex, Drugs, and Rockefeller" Why the !@#$ would I pick anything else? And that's where I stopped having fun.
Maybe it's just me, but I cannot get used WASD controls. A PC gamer I am not, because if I was at least I wouldn't spend 20 minutes running into walls or get lost trying to find my objective. Also for some reason the game decided that it couldn't recognize my graphics card and although I have a pretty beefy card in my laptop, the game always defaulted to a low graphics setting, where I couldn't read anything. Despite my floundering with the controls and necessary tweaking of the settings I bravely pressed on. Then it was boring. I don't know why, but the story did not engage me. I found myself not caring if my character lived or died. The game was just boring. Needless to say I didn't play it very long. Maybe if I had toughed it out I would have liked it more, but there is nothing worse then realizing that you just spent good money on something that is just not worth your time. I realize that now the game is free to play, which is should have been to begin with. Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose.
Now let me lighten the mood a little bit. "Damn Jessica, you scary when you go on rants." "Why thank you, Jessica.I take that as a compliment." Yes I am talking to myself and no I don't care that you are judging me right now. Any who, incoherent segues aside, my most surprising game of 2012 is Borderlands 2. Before I am assaulted with a resounding "WHAT?!", let me explain. I normally do not play first-person shooters because of this, Borderlands (the original game) somehow flew under my usually impressive radar. So on a whim, I purchased Borderlands 2 knowing nothing of the game other than it was a cell shaded first-person shooter. Boy howdy was I delighted with my "whim" of a purchase.
Not only is Borderlands 2 fun, the story engaging, and is just overall awesome but it managed to accomplish something that no other video game had done before. It got me to actually buy DLC for it. I have wanted to buy DLC for many games but this was the first game that I actually purchased DLC for. I just had to have the Mechromancer pack. There is nothing not cool about running around with a !@#$% giant robot named Deathtrap that just straight murders practically everything in his path. I LOVE IT. If you don't have it get it. Like seriously. So yes, that sums up my most surprising game of the year.
Now ladies and gents for the highlight of this post the highest honor I can give to a game my pick for best game of 2012. And that the most exemplary game is Dance Central 3 for the Xbox 360. I do love me some movin' and groovin'. Okay I you got me. I lied. I never have and most likely never will EVER play Dance Central 3 and no, I have not played the first two games of the series. Now I will tell you my actual pick for best game of 2012, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Yes, I know that came out in 2011, it's because I am messing with you again. For realsies this time, my pick for best of 2012 is Persona 4: Golden on the PS Vita.
I love the Persona franchise and no joke this game is the reason why I bought a PS Vita. 'Nuff Said.

Today I am posting the links to my reviews of books the have appeared on Goodreads but not here on the blog. I periodically post the authors and titles here mostly so that they are searchable for both me and you. All of these titles were read in 2017. I had the reviews done in Goodreads but realized the I never gathered them into a post for the blog.
It's like I discovered buried reading treasure this weekend when I was going through my Goodreads. I cleaned them up a bit and added some more readalikes too. It was very cathartic.
The links go to my Goodreads review each of which have my three words and readalikes.
Read in print:
- Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed
- Black Mad Wheel by Josh Malerman
- Artemis by Andy Weir
- Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

For some reason, I found this video very painful to watch. That said, I think it is an important video that captures just how young someone can be to be damaged by the bullying that happens to them and how they are forced to try to understand and come to terms with the cruelty.
I think the mom who shared this video on YouTube was brave to show her children in this light and expose the damage that bullying can cause to another young human being who is just trying to understand what life is. It is exactly this issue, if left unresolved, that can lead to the long-term effects that bullying can cause. That is why I think this is an important video to share with our community.

Walnut Ridge, Ark. (WBCEagles.com) – On Saturday, January 18, senior forward for the Williams Baptist College Lady Eagles basketball team Cheyenne Childers scored her 1,000th career point to join an elite group of athletes at WBC.
The Cave City native's scoring total sits at 1,013 after a terrific three-game week of competition, which included her shooting 71 percent from the field. Childers had a rare perfect game against Missouri Baptist University, where she was 8-for-8 from the field, 2-for-2 from behind the arc and 3-for-3 from the free throw line.
Childers continued outstanding play by scoring 31 points in the next game, against Benedictine University-Springfield. Just one more point would have tied her career high.
The Lady Eagles were playing Hannibal-LaGrange University when Childers hit the 1,000-point mark. She finished the game with a team high of 18.
Childers is finishing her career on a high note, as she continues to raise her season and career average. This season, the senior is averaging a career-high 14.5 points per game.
"I wouldn't have been able to accomplish such a milestone without my present and past team," stated Childers.
Head Coach Carol Halford said, "It's always nice to have a student athlete like Cheyenne on the team. She has shown her leadership through the four years by being a consistent yet versatile player."
Childers will graduate this May with a degree in Liberal Arts. After graduation, she plans to get her licensure in education to pursue a professional career in teaching mathematics at the high school level.

The Myth of a Fixed Intelligence
Is our intelligence determined at birth by our genetic makeup or can it be developed in response to our environment? This is one of the oldest debates about intelligence—the issue of Nature vs. Nurture. I believe that both our genetic inheritance and our environment are involved in the outcome. There is an ever increasing volume of research that indicates that mental functioning can be improved. Intelligence, memory, and learning respond to many factors. The research has reported many aspects of diet, nutrition, and life style that support this. These influences that improve are classified as environmental factors (as opposed to genetic factors). There is some fascinating research that has taken a quantum leap in breaking down the old idea of a fixed intelligence.
The researchers found that the enriched environment produced both more brain cells and larger brain cells!
The pioneering research of the neuroanatomist Dr. Marian Diamond, and her co-workers at the University of California at Berkeley, shows that intelligence, the ability to learn, and even the physical brain itself can be developed. She has recently reported the story of this work in her book, Enriching Heredity: The Impact of the Environment on the Anatomy of the Brain. The Diamond group has been studying how the brains of rats change in response to different environments. The rat brain resembles the human brain in many aspects of both form and functioning. The researchers created three different environmental test conditions: the impoverished environment, the normal environment, and the enriched environment. In the impoverished environment, a single rat would be left alone in a regular-sized laboratory cage. The normal environment consisted of three rats in a regular-sized laboratory cage. The enriched environment was a larger-sized cage with twelve rats and numerous toys. Every few days the rats were taken out of the cages for a few minutes to clean the cages. In the enriched environment, the toys would be randomly placed back in the cage before returning the rats to the cage. The rats in this environment would scurry around, examining and exploring the toys and their new placement. The results of these experiments show that access to stimulating objects and a stimulating environment produces a thicker cerebral cortex—a bigger brain! The researchers found that the enriched environment produced both more brain cells and larger brain cells!
Our minds are as instinctively motivated to learn as our legs are to walk
Other researchers have shown that these conditions facilitate faster and more accurate problem solving, which is a key component of intelligence. Part of Diamond's research has shown that an impoverished environment will inhibit brain growth, resulting in a decrease in the size and number of brain cells. This research has also shown that an enriched environment can overcome some of the negative aspects of stress and dietary protein deficiency experienced early in life. Diet, nutrition, the air we breathe, and a stimulating environment can increase levels of important brain chemicals, producing bigger brain cells and faster learning. The brain can and does change in response to its environment. Genetic inheritance is not destiny. Marian Diamond's research has shown that the brain, at any stage of life, from prenatal to old age, can increase in size and learn faster. Although she has used rats in her research, I feel that her work is making important statements about the potential of developing the human brain. The results from these studies as well as the studies on the nutrients, drugs, and herbs reported in this book argue that our brains can continue to grow throughout our lives. We can truly expand our minds and our potential.
Not only is there a need to maximize the conditions that will enable optimum development of intelligence and mental capabilities, there is also a great need to teach people how to think, to learn, and to reason. I believe that these skills can and should be taught. It has been my experience that the traditional approach to education is not focused on developing effective methods to teach these skills. Instead, the emphasis is on learning facts and memorization. A Gallup poll asked parents what they would most like their children to gain from their education. Most parents wanted their children "to learn how to think." I believe our minds are as instinctively motivated to learn as our legs are to walk. Just as the legs of a champion have to be trained, so our minds have to be taught and trained to function at their best. Scientists from such diverse disciplines as neurophysiology and anthropology are finding evidence that the human brain changes in accordance with changes in understanding and awareness. In other words, as our understanding and awareness changes, the brain that has processed new information also changes. The more we know, the more we can know. The more we understand, the more we can understand. Learning how to think creates changes in the brain at the cellular level that facilitate better thinking. Albert Einstein said, "It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books." The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from books.
Many children are held back in their learning because they have a model of learning in which you have either "got it" or "got it wrong"
The art of thinking begins with a change in the individual's belief system about one's ability to think and about the nature of intelligence. It is true that we have much to learn about how the mind functions, but the first step is to acknowledge and understand what science has already proven—that our minds can grow and change. The research on intelligence, memory, learning, and the brain leads to the conclusion that the critical issue is not whether it is possible to enhance intelligence and mental facilities, but how far we can go in enlarging the frontiers of the mind.
In addition to teaching the skill of thinking and learning, we also need to change the common attitude that answers are only right or wrong. In his book Mindstorms, Seymore Papert made the following comments about an attitude toward learning that is developed by many computer programmers. He said, many children are held back in their learning because they have a model of learning in which you have either "got it" or "got it wrong." But when you program a computer you almost never get it right the first time. Learning to be a master programmer is learning to become highly skilled at isolating and correcting "bugs," the parts that keep the program from working. The question to ask about the program is not whether it is right or wrong, but if it is fixable. If this way of looking at intellectual products were generalized to how the larger culture thinks about knowledge and its acquisition, we all might be less intimidated by our fears about "being wrong." Children learning programming skills in grade school are developing a priceless by-product. They are developing a new attitude about errors and a new attitude and confidence about thinking and learning. When children have the will to stick with a problem and to examine and adjust their thinking until they can get something to work (on a computer or in life), an important level of confidence begins to grow. Discipline switches from an external and oppressing "get it right the first time" to an internal and intellectual "make it work."
"The world's greatest resources are to be found in human intelligence, ingenuity, and imagination."
Buckminster Fuller was one of the outstanding minds of all time. In a speech about what the world would be like in the year 2000, he said, "The world's greatest resources are to be found in human intelligence, ingenuity, and imagination." Early in his life, Bucky discovered the secret of having a passion for learning and understanding life, and he spent the rest of his life trying to give that secret away to others. In an editorial eulogizing Buckminster Fuller, Norman Cousins wrote the following, "If we read Bucky Fuller solely for information we will obtain information, but we will be cheating ourselves. We should read him for the increased respect he gives us for human potential, and for the lesson that there are no boundaries to the human mind, which he celebrates above all else."
We can make Buckminster Fuller's dream a reality. There are no boundaries to the human mind.

On our Social Pulse segment today, we are sharing something thought-provoking from our friends, Patheos. This article highlights what every woman seems to get as a reward after death for being a wife, using a certain epitaph as a case study. Please note that this is not a 'feminist' article, it is just meant to guide our thoughts towards something we may have not noticed for a long time. Please read below and share your thoughts afterwards in the comments box below.
The simple inscription read "In memory of Louis Eilers and Wife." I couldn't help but feel intense pity for this poor unnamed woman whose epitaph read only "and Wife." I was sad beyond reason that Mrs Eilers had lived the whole of her life – her life and no one else's – and yet even her name had been forgotten. Is this all the reward she gets for being a wife to this man?
"She gave her whole life to them," I ranted in my thoughts, "her whole life and they couldn't even write down her name. She's not even worth being Mrs Eilers; she's forever to posterity as 'and Wife.'" The sum of my opinion about this unknown woman and her ungrateful descendants became caught up in those two simple words "and Wife."
I was horrified on her behalf at the waste her life had been to be remembered only in light of her relationship to her husband and nothing else. She was worth infinitely more than this, whomever she had been.
My visceral reaction was rooted deeply within my own superiority. The girls of my generation were raised for better. We were taught to aspire to greatness as captains of industry, agents of change, breakers of stereotypes and taboos. Our mothers saw in us the promise of an imagined future, and raised us to be unfulfilled by the normal of centuries past.
And so we are.
The girls with whom I grew up saw marriage as a stepping stone to adulthood. It was one of the things we checked off as we left childhood behind – high school graduation, college, a Bachelor's Degree at least, a job, and then a career. We'd buy cars and houses, and at some point along the way, we'd get married and maybe even divorced. Our view of marriage was a blend of Little Mermaid naivete mixed with modernist cynicism. More than one of my schoolmates was told at her wedding that if she had made the wrong choice of spouse, divorce was always an option. There was no reason to spend the rest of our lives with a mistake when we could learn from it and move on. As one of my mother's friends quipped "You grow up, fall in love, get married, get divorced, and live happily ever after."
The message was loud and clear to us, marriage was a necessary evil that women took on. A husband was the burden of our adulthood, the infant child who never grew up, and the sacrifice we made for motherhood.
All of this baggage sat squarely on my shoulders as I stared in disgust at that stained glass window and wondered how Mrs. Eilers had ever lowered herself to accept such a place as nothing more than some man's wife.
It wasn't until later that I thought about my beloved grandmother who was nothing more than a wife for nearly a decade before they adopted children. She had stayed home and kept house for him in a time when such a thing was acceptable. I realized that I've never met anyone my age who lived that life. I could hear the ugliness of what my own reaction would be to a stay at home wife in today's world. The very idea of staying at home if one didn't even have children brought me up short with the realization of my own arrogance.
How different would my life be, I mused, if I saw dignity in being just a wife? What if instead of just being vocally in favor of marriage, I behaved as if I really saw it as a vocation? How would my own marriage, and my children's view of the Sacrament, be helped if I saw it as the life fulfilling choice that it was meant to be instead of a rest stop on the way to somewhere else? What if I saw the word Wife as a title to aspire to? How would my attitude towards my own husband change? If I died today, could they make "and Wife" my epitaph? I don't know, you'd have to ask my husband about that.
As for me, I'm not sure that I've earned that right.
– Patheos

Flipping true estate qualities is not for everybody but it is the fastest way to make a buck in the true estate enterprise. Most everybody has heard of someone shopping for a "operate down" residence for a very good rate nicely down below sector price, fixing it up and selling it at a reasonable sector rate. Flipping a "fixer-upper" is certainly one way to switch a fairly speedy gain. I know some individuals who do it this way but they are more into the contractor and renovation enterprise than they are of the trader mindset.
Some of these "fixer-upper" qualities are in need to have of intensive maintenance and will require electrical perform, carpentry perform, and many others. If the trader will get included and does some or all of this perform then there could be plenty of gain there but if the trader farms out the essential labour, income could get eaten up swiftly. For these varieties of flipping true estate investments, the acquire rate demands to be at a enormous price cut and usually would be discovered someplace in the foreclosure phase.
For the human being that is in the mindset of investing fairly than getting in the renovation enterprise then flipping true estate will only require flipping the paper deal of the residence without the need of even having possession of it. You can flip by coming into an settlement to acquire a residence then market the deal to a different trader ahead of close of escrow.
Using this procedure will never even involve you to put your title on the title. Earnings will generally be considerably less than the fixer-upper trader but requires much considerably less perform and the full course of action is much a lot quicker. A fixer-upper trader would not be delighted in earning a gain of a several thousand dollars for a several months perform on renovations but an trader that can just flip a deal for a several hours or times perform would be.
Stay clear of disclosure of your income to the new consumer by working with a double closing.
Right after earning a sweet offer and flipping a deal involving a juicy gain you could not want all these facts to be disclosed to your consumer. The option is a double closing, transferring the residence to you initially and then reselling instantly at the identical lawyer's office environment just an hour later to your consumer.
There is a downside in this article and that is a double set of closing expenditures so you would have to weigh it out to see if it really is worth it to your particular circumstance or not. Further, you can use a title insurance policies organization for the precise closings. For the issuance of the title insurance policies policy, the title insurance policies organization will get ready the closing documents and close the transaction usually without the need of an addition charge.

The narrow, congested streets of Old Delhi houses many homes which are long left and forgotten but have not vanished. These houses are dilapidated but dramatic and splashed in the most vibrant colors. Here are some of the compellingly beautiful pictures of the deserted homes with a poignant poem on abandoned homes by Tom Waits that perfectly captures the essence of uninhabited homes.
House Where Nobody Lives
– Tom Waits (SongWriter)
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
The folks moved out of it a long time ago
And they took all their things and they never came back
It looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked
Everyone calls it the house
The house where nobody lives
Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?
Well, the paint is all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
Looks like no one will ever come back
To the house where nobody lives
Oh, and once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?
So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold, don't trade it for silver
Oh, don't trade it for gold
'Cause I have all of life's treasures and they're fine and they're good
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
What makes a house grand, oh, it ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure
But without love it ain't nothin' but a house
A house where nobody lives
But without love
It ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives

I began trying Beautycounter products after my dear friend and fellow blogger introduced me to their amazing mission = to get safe products in the hands of everyone. Yes, I am a designer but I have always had an interest in beauty products, especially skin care. (I have often said if I weren't a designer, I would have been a dermatologist)
I first tried BC's chemical free sunscreen after reading about the dangers of Oxybenzone. (I have had invasive skin cancer on my face removed four times). Next, I sampled the face wash and foundation...and now I am completely hooked. They work so well and my skin has not felt this good in a long time. If you purchase from Beautycounter today, they will be donating 10% off all proceeds to The Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey Relief. My thoughts and prayers have been with everyone in the Houston area. 💗
I have also gotten to learn a bit about the company founder: Gregg Renfrew. Gregg not only has amazing ideas and vision but she also has impeccable taste. Simple, straightforward and refined perfectly defines her style. I shared photos of her California ranch last year and today I'm showing the latest shoot from this month's issue of Better Homes and Gardens. If you are interested in building your own business with Beautycounter or learning more about their product line, feel free to shoot me an email. Take a peek at Gregg's beautiful home and a snapshot of six of my favorites that I use daily.

Do you enjoy communicating with friends via online RPGs? Are you after the best and newest video gaming? Everything you have to know can be found in this article. Are you havin trouble hearing dialogue over all of the action and background music? Most video games have an audio section somewhere in the menu of options. This menu usually also allows you an option to have subtitles on or off. If your kids play on video games consoles hooked up to be online, make sure to adjust the settings before they play. This lets you some control over what your kids as they play. You can also filter out how long they're able to chat with. Make sure the screen brighter.If you are playing a game taking place in a dark environment, you won't be able to play well. It makes things easier to see so your enemies before you see them.
When buying video games for kids, look for educational games or ones with better ratings. Parents should always verify the ESRB rating on games. Some games may look more innocent than they actually are. Check both the game's rating and the reasons for the rating before you buy. Ask the game store to recommend games that you might like. It is easy for them to recommend games if you have a favorite genre that you play all the time. The store clerk will generally be knowledgeable enough to guide you options that will suit your needs.
Turn off chatting capabilities on games for kids that are playing. A child does not have any access to this feature. Don't buy games that don't give you with the option of turning off chat. Ask a salesperson or check online to be sure. Play video games with your children. You can learn a lot about the interests that your children this way. Sharing interests with your kids like this can also create great way to get the conversation flowing.You can also help them while aiding them in doing so.
Make good use of parent control settings on video games. You may want to check to see if it is an online compatible game. If so, you may wish to limit your children's connectivity. You should also look at friends lists and messages to ensure they have in their friend's list. Learn all that you can about the gaming console's content and safety settings. There are usually settings that can stop younger members of the family from seeing adult or questionable content. You may even be able to customize everyone's profiles to filter out inappropriate titles that won't be appropriate for each member of the household.

OK, first of all, ignore the post that's almost a year old that mentioned Ulduar. Seriously people. Thats why they have dates on them. That said:
<Unpossible> is a semi-casual raiding guild that has been around on Zul'jin since vanilla WoW. We have been quite successful with raid progression on our own terms.
What does that mean, you ask? Well, we down bosses- lots of them. We're 9/12 in ICC25. Not bad for only raiding 3 days (less than 12 hours) a week. We keep a limited number of raiders in our ranks. Just enough to consistently fill raids, but not so many that people need to be benched.
Haven't heard much about us before? Here's why. We're a tightly-knit group of friends in a drama-free environment. Now, that doesn't mean we're boring. Actually, we're far from it. We still joke around, poke fun of each other relentlessly, and insult Zabos's (ab)use of the English language. We even have an unspoken competition for the worst pun of the day. We have people from all walks of life within our midst- students, parents, lawyers, techies, young, old, and in-between. Even a few Canadians, eh?
We are seeking a handful of outstanding and dependable players to join our unique and fun-loving family. Are you interested? Mildly curious perhaps?
What we want from you:
-Attend at least 75% of our raids per month.
-Have a complete and thorough understanding of your class.
Our raiding schedule:
-Monday through Wednesday: 8:30pm to 12:00am (Raid start to finish)
-Thursday through Sunday: Anything goes!
What we need:
Feral and/or Boomkin Druid
If you feel Unpossible may be the guild for you, please register at http://www.bent-wookie.com/forums with your character name, so we know you aren't spam 🙂 Once registered send an ingame message to Xemwej for account activation.
Take time to read through the application guidelines on the forums to know more about us.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dianarah, Yanlou or Zabos through private message on the guild forums, in-game mail, or tells.

Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job — I mean, since she's been grown up.
People are missing the real insult to women in that comment - the implication that you aren't grown up until you get married. What else could she have meant? People don't usually hold down "real jobs" while they're in high school or college. She knew Mrs. Bush had been a teacher, or at least a librarian, despite her subsequent apology. (And she probably doesn't consider those "real" jobs, either.) She meant what she said. Mrs. Bush stopped working when she got married, or in Heinz-Kerry parlance, "grew up."
Of course, it's an insult to women (and men) who choose to stay home, too. But it's a broader insult to all women to insinuate that they aren't fully grown until they have a husband and children.

A January 13th article in the New York Times, entitled Auditors See Rising Defaults in Rural Loans, focused on the USDA's mishandling of $133 million in budget authority for Rural Development's Section 502 Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program, granted through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The mishandling came to light through a December audit by the Office of the Inspector General.
The audit examined a sample of 100 loans, finding 28 loans where, "lenders had not fully complied with Federal regulations or Recovery Act directives in determining borrower eligibility." The Audit found the USDA granted loans to applicants with annual income that exceeded program limits, to borrowers that did not meet repayment ability guidelines, those who had abiility to secure credit without a government loan guarantee, borrowers who already owned adequate homes, and borrowers who used government loan guarantees to purchase homes with swimming pools.
While the report does not contain a complete explanation of the causes behind the program failures, it points to "instances where agency policies and guidance were unclear, inadequate, or insufficient." and alludes to future insights and recommendations to be contained in a future, final audit. The audit concluded the following:
In our judgment, the borrowers that did not meet repayment ability guidelines also have a higher risk of becoming delinquent and defaulting on their loans. Based on the sample results, we estimate that 27,206 loans (over 33 percent of the portfolio) may be ineligible with a projected total value of $4.0 billion.
So several months after our FOIA request, we have finally received a list of the 22 lenders behind the 28 loans mentioned in the audit:

El Jefe de Santo, otherwise known as Jeff, has been addicted to the genre of horror for, well, nearly all his life. It all began with John Carpenter's "Halloween" and since then has spiraled into a life-long fascination with blood, guts and things that go bump in the night. He reveres Savini, Argento, H.G. Lewis, Craven, Carpenter, Miike, Bava, and Fulci. He is a genre-nerd to the highest degree and finds the sight of intestines to be absolutely delightful!He also enjoys, aside from making his foes quake with fear in the squared circle, reviewing movies!
This will not be the usual sort of review that you, my adoring fans, are used to reading every week. I was a little behind in terms of releases in the genre as of late so I was late in coming to I Spit On Your Grave and caught a midnight showing of Scre4m ("Scream 4"). This will be not just one but TWO reviews in one post! Now if that isn't a enziguri kick to your brains I don't know what is. The following, for your consideration, are the reviews of the aforementioned films.
In Theaters: Apr. 15, 2011
Directed by: Wes Craven
Written by: Kevin Williamson
Rated: R
Running time: 1 hr. 50 min.
I'm one of those guys that adores slasher flicks. There are many types of horror movies out there within the genre. There are torture porn romps, gorefests, supernatural thrillers, classic haunted house stories, demonic possession, exploitation grindhouse and, honestly, the list goes one. The slasher, though, has always been one of my absolute faves. My love began with the near perfect Halloween by John Carpenter. Michael Meyers was the name of evil as far as I was concerned. Jason came soon after. Freddy not long after that.
There have been countless films that involved teenagers getting stabbed, axed, hooked or otherwise eviscerated for my entertainment. The tropes are all there, the formula plain as day. There are few, if any, that help to serve as a refreshing reminder of what made the genre so impactful as it was in the early 80's. Wes Craven's first entry in the Scream franchise did just that, though.
Kevin Williamson's tight scripting and Wes Craven's expert direction made for a genre redefining film that was not only heavy on references and humor but delivered in the kill department and scares. I enjoyed the HELL out of the first two Scream movies while the third was, well, a bit lacking. I was, apprehensive, coming into this latest installment. Eleven years have passed and since then Wes hasn't exactly had the best output in terms of quality. Movies such as My Soul to Take and Cursed weren't exactly good films (Red Eye was quite good).
I was, thankfully, relieved once I got into the packed theater to witness the revitalization of not only a franchise but of an entire part of the horror genre. This was a fantastic film that made me laugh, cringe and overall entertained me thoroughly.
We know the score here. This is a Scream movie so there are going to plenty of in-jokes and references to horror movie conventions. The humor will be paired with the tense moments of the chase and with, ultimately, somebody getting stabbed. All that said the movie still managed to feel fresh and, frankly, made me feel as I did when I saw Scream the first time in the summer of 1996. This is a film the revels in the fact that its characters think they are one step ahead due to their having watched so many horror movies but ultimately make the same bone-headed mistakes.
The body count in this installment is high. Really high. I found myself surprised at some of the turns the plot took, and ultimately the twist on the twist worked really well. This movie definitely benefited from the reuniting of Williamson and Craven here. There were a few moments, here and there, where it felt like the dialogue drifted into that territory of middle-aged people trying to sound like young people as far as scripting goes, but overall I was pleased with the results.
This is a teenage slasher film from the 90's that is nostalgic and at the same time very aware of this new age of social media we live in. The opening 20 minutes are just brilliant, really, and set the tone for the rest of the film that, while at times suffers from some pacing issues, moves at a brisk clip. I was also surprised at just how bloody this one got. The body count being high aside there was one scene that really struck me as nearly overdone. A room just splattered with blood and a teen lying on the bed, guts hanging out. It caught me off guard much as some of the other deaths did. Being stabbed in the face is no fun, kids. Ask Anthony Anderson about that.
My own personal bias towards the slasher genre and horror in general, which usually doesn't get a fair shake because of what it is, helps to influence this review just a bit. This was not only a hilarious movie but also served up another visceral violence that I found myself exiting the theater with a big smile on my face. This is what horror can and should be. Thank you, Wes. You didn't let me down.
I Spit On Your Grave
Released: October 8, 2010 (Theatrical)/Feb 8, 2011(DVD)
Directed by: Steven Monroe
Written by: Jeffrey Reddick and Meir Zarchi
Rated: R
Running Time: 1 hr. 48 min
There are few genres that spawn such blind hatred and rage as exploitation cinema. Critics have lambasted the genre as a whole as being alltogether unnecessary and vile. There are films, certainly, that really just didn't need to be made. One might argue that something like "Cannibal Holocaust" definitely didn't need to be put to celluloid but it was!
The 1979 grindhouse classic of Day of the Woman otherwise known as I Spit On Your Grave was one of the first genre films I came to know once I started exploring this sub-genre of cinema. I remember vividly just how badly much of it was shot, how badly the sound was recorded. The dialogue, in parts, was tinny and even inaudible. The remake is, thankfully, a technically proficient movie that looks much better and definitely sounds better than its predecessor.
Is it, however, better? The problem in reviewing a movie like this is that there will be those that view this movie as absolute trite garbage that is unnecessary. Some will view it as just another torture porn flick. Others view it as a film that, perhaps, doesn't actually stretch the limits of what we've seen before. There definitely have been worse depictions of violence towards women on film. The original, at times, was disturbing because of just how long some of these scenes of bruality towardw the female lead were. It followed a very strict rape, beat, run away and then rinse repeat sort of formula.
I was pleased to see that with this updated version that rape was not eroticised at all. There is nothing appealing about what happened to Jennifer Hills. She was accosted, savaged, violated and left naked in the mud while in a daze. The slow build of tension was well done here and Steven Monroe should be commended for handling this sort of subject as well as he did. The performances, throughout, are much stronger than anything we saw in the original.
The scenes of vengeance that mark the second half of the film paled in comparison to just how damned uncomfortable it made me to watch the first half. The leadup to the actual brutal acts committed to the young novelist in the movie are genuinely disturbing, to me at least. The scene involving the pistol and our heroine's mouth was, well, rough.
The kills themselves range from rather gross to not as bad. They are creative and I definitely preferred that the lead-in to them didn't involve the vengeance-seeking spitfire trying to seduce them first. She did what she had to with a club, tire iron or baseball bat to knock 'em out and get them set up. The last bit involving the sherriff was definitely well done and the ending was just perfect.
This is exploitation cinema in the new age. This is everything that people groaned about whenever Eli Roth released the Hostel films. This was rough at times, there is no doubt, but well worth a look if you're willing. You have to be willing lest you find yourself feeling a bit sick.
Do you disagree? Do you feel that El Jefe de Santo was too generous? PERHAPS HE WILL NOT BE SO GENEROUS IN THE RING, BROTHER! If you feel like challenging the masked wonder to a trivia competition/hurricanrana-off then leave a comment, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter (@JeffPannellZG). Until next time..

Swansea University (Welsh: Prifysgol Abertawe) is a public research university located in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom. Swansea University was chartered as University College of Swansea in 1920, as the fourth college of the University of Wales. In 1996, it changed its name to the University of Wales Swansea following structural changes within the University of Wales. The new title of Swansea University was formally adopted on 1 September 2007 when the University of Wales became a non-membership confederal institution and the former members became universities in their own right.
It is the third largest university in Wales in terms of number of students. The university campus is located next to the coast at the north of Swansea Bay, east of the Gower Peninsula, in the grounds of Singleton Park, just outside Swansea city centre. Swansea was granted its own degree-awarding powers in 2005 in preparation for possible changes within the University of Wales.
Swansea and Cardiff University compete in an annual varsity match, known as the Welsh version of the Oxbridge event, which includes the Welsh Varsity rugby and The Welsh Boat Race.
Swansea received its royal charter in 1920 and like many universities is governed by its constitution that is set out in its statutes and charter. The governing body of Swansea University is its Council, which, in turn, is supported by the Senate and the Court.
Swansea University's academic departments are organised into 6 colleges:
American Studies, Ancient History, Applied Linguistics, Classics, Cymraeg/Welsh, Egyptology, English, English Literature, French, German, History, Italian, Medieval Studies, Media Studies (with Film and PR options), Politics & International Relations, PPE, Spanish-Hispanic Studies, Translation, War and Society
Accounting, Banking, Business Management, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Systems, Marketing
International Maritime, Trade and Commercial Law, Business & Law. Legal Practice Course, Graduate Diploma in Law, IISTL, CEELP, LLB
Aerospace, Chemical and Biological, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Environmental, Information, Communication & Computing Technology, Materials, Mechanical, Medical, Product Design, Engineering & Technology, Sport & Exercise Science
Audiology, Applied Social Sciences, Cancer Care, Childhood Studies, Clinical Physiology, Midwifery, Medical Sciences & Humanities, Nursing (Adult, Child, Mental), Osteopathy, Paramedic Science, Pre-Hospital Care, Psychology, Public Health and Health Promotion, Radiography
Graduate Entry Medicine (4-year programme), Centre for Health Information, Biochemistry, Genetics, Institute of Life Sciences 1 & 2, BioMedical Research
Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics and Physics.
The University also provides Welsh medium courses delivered by Academi Hywel Teifi, named after Hywel Teifi Edwards, which offers subjects across all colleges.
The majority of university buildings are on the Singleton Campus, based in the grounds of Singleton Park, adjacent to Swansea Bay. The campus also includes the nearby Sports Village and Hendrefoelan Student Village, about 2.5 miles away.
In 2011, the university's Library & Information Services and Administrative Computing Unit merged to form Information Services and Systems. ISS provides a combined library, IT and careers service. The main Library & Information Centre on the Singleton campus has over 800,000 books and periodicals, along with access to a wide range of electronic resources including over 23,000 electronic journals. There are over 1,000 study spaces, almost half of which are equipped with networked PCs. LIS was awarded the Charter Mark in 2006, and received the new Customer Service Excellence award in 2009. In 2013 it received a renewed Customer Service Excellence award in combination with the university's Registry and Student Services.
The Library & Information Centre also has major archive collections, based on the South Wales Coalfield Collection, several papers of Welsh writers in English and the Richard Burton Collection, which was recently donated by Burton's wife, Sally. It is hoped that the collection will form the hub of a learning resource dedicated to the actor's life and work.
Recent developments include a major extension in opening hours, the transfer of the stock of the Morriston Hospital Nursing Library to the Library and Information Centre and the creation of the Richard Burton Archives which house his personal possessions as well as the South Wales Coalfield Collection .[citation needed]
Swansea University's sports centre[11] is located near the Singleton Park campus on the western side of Sketty Lane. The university sports centre is separate to the adjacent King Edward V Playing fields to the west. The sports centre is used by the university for its sports degree courses as well for general student recreation. Facilities include an indoor 6-lane running track, gymnasium, sports hall, tennis courts, squash courts and a climbing wall. Outdoor facilities include an 8-lane running track and floodlit playing fields including rugby, football, lacrosse and cricket pitches.[12][13] During the 2012 Olympics, the University hosted the training camps for the Mexican and New Zealand Paralympic teams and the Ireland Triathlon team.
The Wales National Pool in the Sketty area of Swansea, Wales, is a 50 metre swimming pool built to FINA standards. The facility, which also has a 25m × 9.5m training pool and 1,200 spectator seats, is used to train Wales' world class aquatic sports athletes and houses the headquarters of the Wales Amateur Swimming Association.
The pool is one of five of British Swimming's Intensive Training Centres (ITC), used to train swimmers for the London 2012 Olympics. The facility was built with funding from Sport Wales, Swansea Council and Swansea University and is built on the site of the university's sports centre.
The 360 Beach and Water Sports Centre is a not for profit company set up by Swansea University and is located on the foreshore in front of the University's Singleton Park. It offers a range of sports, activities and training such as kite surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, beach volleyball and a beach side bistro to the local community, students, enthusiasts and visiting tourists. The centre cost £1.4 million and was opened in Autumn 2012.
Located within the Taliesin building, the Egypt Centre is a museum of Egyptian antiquities open to the public. There are over 4000 items in the collection.[16] Most of them were collected by the pharmacist Sir Henry Wellcome. Others came to the university from: the British Museum; the Royal Edinburgh Museum; National Museums and Galleries of Wales Cardiff; the Royal Albert Museum and Art Gallery and also private donors.
Egypt Centre staff regularly give lectures and talks to museum groups and other outside bodies on widening participation in university museums; social inclusion and volunteering. Schools regularly visit us to take part in a stimulating and interactive programme of events.

Quotes from some of the students
"I would like it to be longer because I enjoyed it so much."
"Loved every second!! Fabulous coaching and I left stronger, more determined and TOTALLY inspired! I feel very lucky to have worked with my idols and inspirations! Thank you to all the lovely staff and teachers."
"Thank you for an amazing week. Definitely applying for next year."
Quotes from parents of some of the students
"The level of teaching and care of students is very high. My daughter has taken part in other summer schools and she says Elmhurst is by far the best in every way."
"My daughter absolutely loved the Summer School. The 3 days went very quickly – she would have liked it to be longer! She benefitted enormously from the dance training but also had great fun being at a residential school for the first time. I thought the care given by the house staff was fantastic. All were warm, approachable and helpful. A huge thank you for making my daughter feel so welcome in a new environment and looking after her so well!"
"This was Student A's first experience of Elmhurst and she thoroughly enjoyed her week. The teaching was fantastic and she had great pastoral care. Student A often commented how open everyone was as to what Elmhurst's vision was and what they were striving for. Student A thought this was fantastic to have such an insight into the school and made her even more determined to audition at 16!"
"There seemed to be a very welcoming atmosphere at the school and this had obviously pervaded throughout the week as Student A came back having very much enjoyed the week. She found the staff very approachable and felt she benefitted hugely in her progression in dance. Thank you to all involved for helping to make it such a great week!"

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, a real-life version of Ingrid de Forest who at this point exists solely to make it more difficult for you to repay your student loans, appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee today to discuss the Trump administration's proposal to dramatically increase federal investment in charter schools and private school vouchers. Critics, understandably, have voiced concerns that under this scheme, more private parochial schools that discriminate against LGBTQ students, for example, would suddenly be pocketing more of your tax dollars. Today, DeVos was asked by Oregon senator Jeff Merkley to clarify whether her Department of Education would permit such schools to do so. You'll never believe this, but DeVos' answer did not go well.
Behold this waking nightmare:
MERKLEY: Earlier, you said that if a charter school or private school gets a dollar of federal aid, they have to follow all of the federal laws regarding discrimination. Is that correct?
DEVOS: That's correct.
MERKLEY: Thank you. But those laws are somewhat foggy in that area. So I want to be absolutely clear about what you're saying.
The general rule is that schools that take federal funds must comply with federal antidiscrimination laws, but there are exceptions. Religious schools can discriminate based on religion, and they also can duck laws that prohibit gender discrimination if complying would cause them to violate their "religious tenets." Many parochial colleges and universities began requesting waivers during the Obama administration in response to the Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling in 2015 and to President Obama's decision to extend federal antidiscrimination protection to transgender students—a decision, of course, that President Trump promptly rolled back, allegedly over DeVos' feckless objections.
MERKLEY: Are you saying that if you have a private school that sets their own admissions policies, that they will not be allowed under your program to discriminate against LGBTQ students?
DEVOS: Senator, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Schools that receive federal funds must follow federal law.
MERKLEY: And I just sad that federal law is foggy. So in your understanding of federal law, will such discrimination be allowed?
These exceptions to federal law arise out of the longstanding tension between the protecting the civil rights of minority groups on the one hand, and the First Amendment rights of religious groups on the other. Merkley's concern, though, is that significantly expanding financial support for parochial schools would make this problem more significant than it's ever been—especially in those areas of the country where private schools would be elevated to a position above public schools. Thus, rather than debate the law, Merkley poses the substantive question instead. Betsy DeVos was having no part of it.
DEVOS: On areas where the law is unsettled, this Department is not going to be issuing decrees. That is a matter—
MERKLEY: Please answer the question. Is discrimination going to be allowed or not allowed under your understanding [of the law]?
DEVOS: On issues of unsettled law—
MERKLEY: Are you saying that this is such an area?
DEVOS: —Congress and the Senate has to decide and settle.
MERKLEY: You're refusing to answer the question.
DEVOS: I'm going back to what I said earlier—
MERKLEY: Well, what you said earlier didn't help us, since it's an area of unsettled law.
It goes on in this fashion for awhile. Merkley asked the same question about discrimination based on religion, and again, DeVos pledged repeatedly that "students that receive federal funds will follow federal law, period," as if saying "period" at the end of her sentence would somehow transform her vapid, disingenuous non-response into a coherent answer to a question being posed directly to her in plain English.
DEVOS: Discrimination in any form is wrong. I don't support discrimination in any form.
MERKLEY: Does your program ban such discrimination?
DEVOS: As I said before, and let me say it again—
MERKLEY: Saying the same thing 10 times when you're not answering the question does not help.
DEVOS: —schools that receive federal funding need to follow federal law.
What's going on here? It's entirely possible that for DeVos and company, the ability to low-key discriminate against LGBTQ students is a feature of the proposed budget, not a bug. But even if that budget is not purposefully malevolent, her refusal to answer the simplest of questions and her insistence on hiding behind the law instead indicates, at the very least, that if the administration's grand plans for America's schools discriminates against children because of who they are or what they believe, your Secretary of Education cannot be bothered to care one bit.

I am planning on looking for employment for the next school year, possibly in Northern KY. I am originally from Ashland, KY and have lived there most of my life. I expect this course to be very challenging. At the beginning of last semester, I was frustrated with the overwhelming feeling of not being able to get everything done on time. I'm sure a lot of you may feel that way now, but trust me as the semester goes on and you get more comfortable with the tools you'll feel right at home. I learned so much from the Distance Education course last semester and I expect to do the same for this class. I look forward to conversing with each and every one of you.

Good to see you here, Lee.

But many of the older priests, Levites, and other leaders who had seen the first Temple
wept aloud when they saw the new Temple's foundation.
The others, however, were shouting for joy.
Ezra 3:12 NLT
A new normal had arrived—and with it, a state of anxiety.
I'm a nostalgic kind of guy. If I were retired, I would sit around and watch the Hallmark channel's Christmas movies for six weeks. They're sappy and have predictable endings. The girl gets the guy, the mystery is solved, the wish granted.
Christmas celebrations in our family were once predictable too. When I and my brothers were small, we gathered at our grandparents' houses for a meal and the opening of presents. When all of us had grown up, married, and had children of our own—and the grandparents had gone to glory, we gathered at our parents' house—who were now grandparents. We repeated our life-long pattern by eating a meal and opening presents in a certain way. Sit in a circle, open a present, show everyone what you received, and tell who it was from. It was customary, predictable, comfortable.
Then divorces and remarriages ripped through our family. Not a one of us escaped. With the remarriages came new step members—in-laws, out-laws, and more grandparents. Getting the family together was challenging—almost impossible. Too many homes to schedule visits at.
Our Christmas gatherings are now unpredictable, unsettling, and, for some in the family, non-existent. I feel like the Israelite leaders who returned from Babylonian exile witnessed the new Temple's foundation and wept because it didn't compare with the one they had seen before—King Solomon's temple. They experienced a new normal, just as I am now.
I sometimes react to this new normal with a host of emotions: anger, confusion, sadness, nostalgia. But doing so doesn't help. It only makes me miserable and taints the holiday season. I'm learning to accept this new normal. Life will never be as it once was. I might as well make the best of it and look for the good in it.
God has brought many new normals in my lifetime. I sometimes treat them in the same way I'm tempted to do with the holiday season, but I'm learning a healthier way. What was once normal won't return. I'm learning to embrace these new normals with anticipation, excitement, and appreciation. After all, God is in control and knows what He's doing. I must trust Him.
When God brings new normals into your life, embrace them rather than resist them.

Tadpole Class
The two-year-olds or Tadpoles meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. We accept 12 students in this class. The class is taught by two teachers and one teacher's assistant.
About the Tadpoles: We recognize that the Tadpole Class may be your two year-old's first exposure to a school setting. To assist with their transition, we introduce a moderately structured routine in a caring, nurturing, play-based environment, with a stimulating curriculum and social setting. In our classrooms, 12 children and a team of three teachers are able to begin to explore the world around them. Classes meet two days per week. Children must be two years old by August 31 of the current school year to be admitted.
Free Play: By beginning the day with "free play," your child learns to separate from you, find an activity to their pleasure and explore all that our classroom has to offer. A wide variety of art, puzzles, and sensory activities are offered, along with a room full of developmentally appropriate toys and dress-up materials with which your child can explore.
Together Time: During Together Time, the children are encouraged to transition from their play activity to a group setting where a sense of classroom community is developed through our welcoming songs. We help them to develop reasoning skills and recognize fellow classmates by asking "Who is missing today?" Our songs and hand-movements during Together Time stimulate and strengthen cognitive skills and help them lengthen their attention spans.
Learning with Cooking & Art: The daily activity is totally voluntary and offers turn-taking skills as only a certain number are called to the table at a time. The project is introduced and explained without a model for your child to follow. They are given the opportunity to truly create their own work of art. The art project reinforces a weekly theme where children are introduced to such concepts as opposites, shapes and colors, farm and zoo animals and a wide variety of developmentally appropriate curriculum.
Social Interaction: Small children are very social with one another. To encourage growth and comfort in this area, we provide a formal social setting for the children during their school day. A healthy nut-free lunch is brought from home and children eat together at their tables in the Tadpole class.
Physical Activity: Children need to move! We strongly recognize the importance of preschoolers exercising their large muscles, as well as developing and coordinating their small motor skills. Every day on the playground, we witness the link between increased muscle control and confidence in the children. New physical skills are developed in concert with the courage to take risks. We schedule at least thirty minutes of outdoor play each day to cultivate large muscle development and self-assurance. Along with physical play opportunities, our playground offers a hands-on world that includes a garden where your child can explore nature and develop a healthy respect for their environment.
In the Tadpole Class we offer a play-based environment where two year-olds can nurture their curiosity, build a foundation for further learning and make friends!

If you've never heard of it, iConcertCal is an iTunes plugin available for Windows and Mac OS X, an iPhone app and now a Google Android OS app. It takes a look at your music library and tells you of upcoming gigs and albums based on the bands you listen to, giving you a personalised calendar of events of things happening in your location.
The application is split into several categories. 'My Shows' allows you to look at concerts and upcoming album releases of bands in your library in your city. If you want to look at all the concerts happening where you are, you can view the 'All Shows' list which will give you a list of every concert where you are.
If you find a concert that you want to see, every concert listing includes links that allow you to pre-order tickets for the event to make sure you don't miss out, and even offer a built-in map to the venue of the concert, giving you directions if you aren't sure where to go! Similarly, you can also purchase and pre-order listed albums too. You can change the order of the lists, and arrange the listings displayed by venue, or even how far away they are from your current location, which is a neat integration of GPS in the app, offering a great service if you want to see what's available around you at the time of searching.
The interface is easy to get used to and use, with all of the main categories of the application split into 5 easy access buttons at the top of the screen, giving you access to the previously mentioned 'My Shows' and 'All Shows' as well as Venues, Albums and Options for the app too. If I had one issue with the interface, it's definitely the black background. This may seem picky, but I'd have liked the option of having a white background and black text rather than the other way around.
When using iConcertCal on my Nexus One, although it was great indoors, it didn't help the already poor visibility outdoors with the ultra reflective AMOLED display in addition to the dark background – it would be nice to have the option to change this in the program settings.
For me, there was one major concern – I don't actually have any music on my phone, as all my music is on my iTunes library and iPod (if you've ever used the Android music player, you'll understand why I now carry two devices with me!). The best feature of iConcertCal for me is the 'iTunes Artists Sync', which allows you to sync the artist information from your iTunes library using the iConcertCal iTunes plugin with your phone.
If you're a music fan, and often going to concerts, the iConcertCal Android app is well worth a look. It's currently available in the Android market for $2.99. If you're an iPhone user, you can purchase the iConcertCal iPhone app on the App Store for £1.79. The plugin for Windows and Mac OS X is available as a free download from the iConcertCal website.
Hoping to study Computer Science at University in the near future, you'll seldom see John without a computer in touching distance!

The white area around the root of your fingernail, known as the lunula, which in Latin means "small moon", has the role of protecting the blood vessels that are under the fifth base layer of your epidermis.
It is very important not to damage your lunula in any way, or all your fingernail could grow distorted.
In addition, new discoveries in alternative medicine have discovered that your lunula may be able to reveal some aspects of your overall health.
In traditional Chinese medicine, your lunula can actually reveal your current state of health. If there is a reddish spot on your lunula, you may be suffering from cardiovascular disease.
The meaning of the half-moon shape on your nails
If your lunula seems non-existent, it may be considered a potential sign of anemia and diabetes. However, the narrowed lunula could also be caused by a slow metabolism and large amounts of toxins in your body.
Traditional Chinese medicine also thinks that your lunula is a representation of your energy levels.
It would be great if you were full of energy, and small, if not completely gone if you were running out of energy or malnourished.
A healthy person has between 8 and 10 lunettes with a predominantly white color on both hands.
In addition, if your thumbs are the only fingers to have a lunula, you are likely to have low physical energy and get sick more often.
Just like hair and skin, the nail can reveal things about our health. That's why you have to pay attention to some details that might alert you. And one of the components of the so-called lunula nail can reveal a possible health problem.
Here are the things you should remember about this half-moon on your nails:
- The lunula is a very sensitive part of the finger that must not be damaged, moreover, if pressed or pressed, it hurts us.
- Lunule comes from the word lunula in Latin meaning little moon, name inspired by its half-crescent shape.
- It is white in normal times and this color is due to the fifth basal layer of the epidermis.
- If the lunula is bluish, it could be a sign of diabetes or Wilson's disease. The blue color is due to the copper that accumulates and intoxicates the brain and liver cells.
- When she tends to turn red, the person may be suffering from heart disease.
- The yellow color of a fingernail or lunula would be a sign of fungus or onychomycosis.
- The ivory or white color of the lunula is a sign of excellent health.
- If the lunula is small, it is usually a sign of indigestion due to slow metabolism and toxin accumulation in the body.
- When it is damaged, the whole nail can be damaged too.
- The absence of a lunula can be a sign of anemia or malnutrition.
- The more pronounced and trained your lunula is, the healthier you are and have energy. On the other hand, if you have the lunula on your thumb, it means that you lack energy, which could make you sick.

More ideas for native planting
I stopped my car to take photos of the front of this Westmere house today. Great architecture and great native plant selection for garden design.
The Poor Knights Lily, Xeronema callistemon looks great mass planted on the left. This is a fascinating plant as there are only two in the genus Xeronema. Its sister (Xeronema morrei) lives in the mountains of New Caledonia, whereas callistemon emerged from the Poor Knights and the Hen Islands near Whangarei. Looking great mass planted in pots too, it doesn't mind being root bound, and does well growing between rock features too. What it does mind though is getting wet feet, so it must be very well drained. Slow growing, the stunning bright red flower is well worth waiting for.
The plant combination on the right mixes Oioi (Apodasmia similis), with the striking form of the juvenile savage Lancewood (Pseudopanax ferox) with mounds of Muehlenbeckia axillaris. This low garden maintenance design combines the best in New Zealand native plant textures and forms and looks super stylish in front of this modern urban home.
