Size: 17 x 2.25 inches
Materials: Sil-A-Gel
Power: None Required
Manufacturer: Doc-Johnson
You can't get much bigger than this! This PVC 17 inch cock with balls in black is MASSIVE! It has a strong suction cup base so you can stick it to the floor for some hands-free fun, although you may need your hands to guide the 2.25 inch wide girth in, take it slowly though. The insertable length of 13 inches is firm yet flexible so it will stand to attention and upright when stuck to the ground, but you can also move it around to a position that's comfortable for you. The circumference is a whopping 8 inches so this Rambone will most certainly fill you up and stretch you to the max! The head is slightly smaller than the shaft making entry that little bit easier for you, the shaft is full of raised veins adding to your pleasure as you go down on this beast! The wrinkly balls measure 3.5 inches across, these are on top of a, same size, strong suction pad. The Dick Rambone is great for using alone or for putting on a show for your lover. Recommended for the more experienced dildo fan, we would also recommend using a lubricant (it's compatible with silicone lubricant). Made from Sil-A-Gel this dildo is anti-bacterial, has a non-toxic formula, latex-free, and cadmium free.

This is from a Beijing Olympic game show that I happened to catch where many people
in animal costumes were racing running on spinning platforms collecting cheese and running from real bulls.
This is a piece of my neighborhood.
my place has small windows but lots of light and high ceilings!
I'm teaching at a 7day English camp for the winter break.
These are the kids pretending to be dead flies. Soon, I will
put an extremely cute movie on you tube.
Ana, this is the print from my cock chair. Oh and I was wrong in my last post
when I said the other chair had a duck pattern. It has a crane pattern.
Thanks for all your comments on the last post. I'm really enjoying my new place. Mom, I want to buy a piece of furniture to put my mess of shoes in and my keys on. Thanks Scott, my Chinese refrigerator is a great 70s avocado green and it's one of my favorite pieces which came with this place.
Kristy is coming on Monday!! Kristy, have fun on the trip! I'll see you soon!!

Footballers begin with victory
First matches show vividly that Belarus has great chance of reaching next stage
By Vladimir Dmitriev
A thrilling match against New Zealand marked our debut at the Olympic Games, keeping the audience in suspense from the first to the last minute. Both sides had plenty of opportunity to score but Belarus was the only one to send a ball into the net — in extra time. Within the first half minute, Dmitry Baga had headed the ball from Renan Bressan's pass.
The Brazilian with the Belarusian passport made a huge contribution to our victory over New Zealand and, in the match against Brazil, Renan opened the score. Although coach Georgy Kondratiev will be disappointed to have seen his team lose its second match, having let in three goals, even sceptics admit that Belarus gave iconic Brazil a run for its money over the 90 minute game. Moreover, Brazil had sent its 'dream team'.
If our Belarusian squad can maintain the lead begun by Bressan, reaching the next stage could become reality. The next match, against the strong Egyptian team, will decide our fate. Well-coordinated and serious, but lacking consistency (as is common in young teams) the team is not unbeatable. Our team's desire for victory and obvious discipline can only be a subject of envy at the Games, despite their lack of experience and skill. Even the Brazilians consider us a worthy opponent.

Astonish your customers with functionality and outstanding appearance of your B2B e-shop variant. Using the IdoSell.com software, you give your wholesale customers a convenient way of shopping!
The IdoSell.com allows you to cooperate with wholesalers. The following tips will help you to choose the right solution for your on-line wholesale store. Place your order first and then you will be able to make use of these features. If you already are our client - use the IAI Ticketing System to order an additional store or new functions to the already existing one.
No matter which graphics variant you choose, you will be able to sell your products to wholesalers. The administration panel has a built-in functionality dedicated to B2B sales, so additional effort from your side is not required. In addition to standard B2B features, there are also:
If you wish your e-store to be visited by both, retail customers and wholesalers, you can order modifications and additional components to on-line store mask. The examples are:
Customers not logged in and customers not marked by you as wholesalers will make purchases as retail customers. It also applies to prices, available delivery types, payments and discounts.
Customers marked in the administration panel as wholesalers will make purchases at wholesale prices and will be able to use on-line store features designed for wholesalers.
All customer, regardless of their status, will see the same assortment. If you want to make differences between both offers, you can do it by using separate on-line store masks - see point 2.
If you want to run both an on-line shop and a wholesale store on the basis of a single mask, then SOPHISTICATED is the best graphic variant for you. Work time offered by this variant is efficient enough to implement all necessary features. If you are already running an on-line store based on the IdoSell.com, we can always add appropriate improvements to it. Request any modifications you want us to implement via IAI Ticketing System.
If you want to open a typical on-line wholesale store or to have two separate on-line stores - for wholesalers and retail customers, you should order layout designed especially for the wholesale store. We offer you STANDARD-B2B mask or custom masks, designed according to your needs and requirements, i.e. in BASIC variant.
This graphics variant includes:
Customized layout can also be designed under implementation variants. You can influence the design and particular elements in your shop choosing functionalities that you find useful. Check what we offer in ADVANCED and SOPHISTICATED implementation packages.
Access to on-line wholesale store can be restricted for registered users only. You can also entirely hide the key information (price and availability) about products. There are two main approaches to display the information about assortment. The first one assumes access to database of assortment only for registered and verified wholesalers. In this case, it is necessary to block access to subpages for users not logged in. You can do it by using the welcome page option where only a login box and a link to the registration form for new customers are available. Registered customers will not have access to functionalities offered to wholesalers until you accept their request form in the administration panel. The second approach is to show an entire offer to all customers. In this case, security tools are installed to on-line store mask. They hide information about price and product availability for users not logged in. Such users can see the entire assortment but cannot start a checkout process. Registered users can see all the information and place orders as usual.
Examples of on-line store, which are available only for registered partners:
Examples of on-line store implemented in the BASIC variant where key information are hidden:

Conspirator is the 2004 experimental project gone viral of duo Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein of the Disco Biscuits; with the addition of Chris Michetti (of RAQ) and KJ Sawka (of Pendulum) in 2012 the project saw a massive influx of diehard fans and the 2011-2012 festival tour had them destroying the mainstage at some of the largest festivals in the nation including Ultra Music Festival, Electric Forest, Nocturnal Festival, Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, and Starscape. Conspirator very quickly became one the festival scene's most well liked and well known live acts as their hard hitting dubstep rhythms combined with live instruments and a near-blinding lighting production quickly became a crowd favorite everywhere they went.
Starting with the release of their first album, "Unlocked – Live from the Georgia Theatre" in April of 2012, Conspirator has continued to rise into EDM stardom and the release of the EP, "Unleashed" in early 2013 has been met with much critical acclaim. In just a few weeks after it's release, "Unleashed" was #4 most downloaded album on the Itunes electronic music charts.
The four members of the band pride themselves in creating unique, heavy, dance floor shaking sounds using almost purely live instruments. They refuse to restrict the band to any single genre or subgenre of electronic music, instead they allow their diverse musical backgrounds and experiences to lead them into a new and unprecedented live experience that no single DJ has been able to reproduce. They acknowledge that their sound is evolving, and will continue to do so as they create new material this summer. The band strives to produce music even while on tour, and we are so excited to see what they have for us in 2014.
Conspirator will be in Minneapolis at Mill City Nights this coming Saturday the 18th! We're stoked to hear some of their newest music, and to catch just a little of the festie feels to get us ready for SummerSet 2014!

Phùng Hưng is a famous figure in Vietnamese history. In 791 he led a rebellion and attacked the main center of Tang Dynasty control in the region. In the centuries after his death, his spirit came to be worshipped and officially recognized with honorary titles by Vietnamese dynasties.
It was normal for Chinese to record information about rebellions across their empire, and they did record information about Phùng Hưng's rebellion, but they did not mention his name. Instead, Chinese sources attribute this rebellion to a figure which Vietnamese sources state assisted Phùng Hưng with strategy, a certain Đỗ Anh Hàn. [See 新校本新唐書/列傳/卷一百七十 列傳第九十五/趙昌]
So while Vietnamese sources contain more information about this rebellion than Chinese sources do, the information which Vietnamese sources contain is actually said to come from a text, the Record of Jiao Prefecture, which the Chinese administrator who put down this rebellion, Zhao Chang, compiled [So "the Chinese" did record information about this rebellion]. This work is now lost, but it is cited in the fourteenth-century Việt điện u linh tập (hereafter, VĐULT), which contains the following information about Phùng Hưng and his rebellion:
"[2b] According to Master Zhao's Record of Jiao Region, his surname was Phùng and his given name Hưng. For generations [his family] had served as barbarian rulers in Đường Lâm Prefecture, and were called lang quan. The king was wealthy, had courage and power, and was able to fight with tigers. His younger brother was named Hãi and was also strong. He could lift a thousand-catty stone and walk more than 10 leagues. The various Lạo all feared his name.
In the Dali era [766-779] of Tang Daizong's reign, the Protectorate of An Nam's/Annan's soldiers rebelled. The king led [troops] to bring into submission neighboring settlements, and established his territory. The king changed his name to Khu Lão, and declared himself regional lord, while Hãi changed his name to Cự Lực and declared himself regional protector. The king used the strategy of a man from Đường Lâm, Đỗ Anh Hàn, to use Ngô troops to attack the [3a] Đường Lâm regional [capital], and greatly enhanced his reputation. At that time, Protector-general Gao Shiping attacked but could not defeat him. [Gao Shiping] became ill from melancholy and died. The administrative seat now had no one, so the king entered it and ruled.
In the seventh year, the king passed away. People wanted to install Hãi [on the throne] but the king's general, Bồ Phá Cần, did not consent. He installed [on the throne] the king's son, An, and led people to resist Hãi. Hãi then moved to Chu Nham. Later it is not clear where he was. An honored his father as the Bố Cái Great King, because the barbarian custom is to call one's father bố and one's mother cái." [A. 47, 2b-3a]
The VĐULT is a very important text for understanding the transitional period from Chinese to Vietnamese rule, but it is also extremely difficult to use as there is no standard version of this text. Ultimately, all of the current versions have textual problems. The quoc ngu version which is widely used in Vietnam today is based on the most recent version of the Việt điện u linh tập, and as a result is probably the least reliable, since it as it has had the most time to be altered. The version which I have used here [A. 47] is shorter and more succinct, but it clearly contains errors.
For instance, one clear problem with this version (and actually this is in other versions as well) is that it says that "For generations [Phùng Hưng's] had served as barbarian rulers in Đường Lâm Prefecture [唐林州]." What I have translated here as "prefecture" is châu/zhou, that very confusing term which I discussed in the previous entry. The usage of this term changed during the Tang (see the previous entry), and therefore there was no consistent administrative unit called a châu/zhou which a family could have ruled over. Further, prior to the Tang a châu/zhou was an administrative unit which was larger than a commandery, which was what we could consider a province-size entity. "Barbarian rulers" (夷長) did not rule over areas this large in the Chinese empire. As far as I know, they also did not rule over commanderies either, which is what the new châu/zhou came to replace during the Tang.
The reason why this is important is because during the Tang, Đường Lâm was the name of at times a prefecture and at times a district in the area of what is today central Vietnam. This led Keith Taylor in his Birth of Vietnam to argue that Phùng Hưng's rebellion must have taken place in that area. Taylor was then confused, however, by the fact that the place where Phùng Hưng is now commemorated with a shrine is in an area to the west of Hanoi. He devoted an appendix to a discussion of this issue, and could not resolve it.
This issue can be resolved. The easy answer is that the Việt điện u linh tập was incorrect in labeling Đường Lâm a châu/zhou. We can see this from the fact that, as mentioned above, "barbarian leaders" did not rule over châu/zhou, be that a pre-Tang "region" or a Tang-era "prefecture." We can also see this by examining what other Vietnamese sources say about this place name.
The Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư records that Phùng Hưng was from "Đường Lâm in Giao/Jiao Prefecture" and then has a note which says "Đường Lâm was under Phúc Lộc/Fulu District." [ngoai ky 5/6a] In this rendering, Đường Lâm was the name of a village.
The nineteenth-century Khâm Định Việt sử Thông giám cương mục concurred on this point, but recorded that Đường Lâm was in Phong/Feng Prefecture, not Giao/Jiao Prefecture. It also has a note in which it states the following about Đường Lâm:
"Đường Lâm: This is the name of an old village. The old history notes that it was in Phúc Lộc/Fulu District. Phúc Lộc/Fulu has now been changed to Phúc Thọ and is in Sơn Tây Province. In examining the Volume on Sơn Tây Province [we find that] Cam Lâm Commune in Phúc Thọ was formerly called Đường Lâm. Phùng Hưng and Ngô Quyền were both from this commune. They presently have shrines there." [ngoai ky 4/26a-b]
I have never heard of the Volume on Sơn Tây Province [山西省冊], but it clearly must have been a text which recorded information about the province, and it stated that the place where there is today a shrine dedicated to Phùng Hưng was formerly called Đường Lâm.
Based on all of the information above, we can conclude that the Đường Lâm where Phùng Hưng was from was not in central Vietnam, but in the north, along the Red River.
So Phùng Hưng was from the Red River delta, and yet he is referred to in Vietnamese sources as a "barbarian leader." Why would that be the case? I think there are several clues in the VĐULT, as problematic as that text is, and there is another clue in the New History of the Tang, where it states that Đỗ Anh Hàn, the man whom Vietnamese sources say assisted Phùng Hưng with strategy, was "Lao chieftan" (獠酋). Meanwhile, the VĐULT recorded that "The various Lạo all feared [Phùng Hưng's] name."
So "Lạo/Lao" had something to do with Phùng Hưng and the place he was from, but ethnic terms can be deceptive. It is tempting to assume that this term must refer to Tai-speaking peoples like the Lao today, but we can't be sure if that was the case. We need more evidence.
The VĐULT states that Phùng Hưng changed his name to "Khu Lão," while his brother changed his name to "Cự Lực." It also mentions a man by the name of Bồ Phá Cần. Finally, Phùng Hưng is eventually called the "Bố Cái Great King, because the barbarian custom is to call one's father bố and one's mother cái."
Among Tai-speaking peoples there are a few words which are very commonly used among people of authority. "Khun" is a term of respect for someone. "Phu" means "person," but it can also mean "big [important] person." "Pho" (sounds like "paw") means "father" but it is also used for important people. And lastly, "phi" means "elder brother" or can be used to refer to a male who is older than oneself.
Now if you look at some of Pulleyblank's reconstructions of how Chinese characters were pronounced during this period, some of these characters here seem to match some of these Tai words. Keep in mind that if these are Tai terms which have been transliterated into Chinese characters, that 1) this was probably done by someone who did not know whatever Tai language was being spoken, 2) the person may not have been very careful in choosing appropriate characters, and 3) Chinese characters are not very effective in replicating the sounds of foreign languages.
區 = khu[n] [term of respect]
蒲披勤 = Bồ Phá Cần = Pho? Phu? Phi Kin ["big-man elder-brother Kin"]
布 = Bố = pho ["father"]
A name like "big-man elder-brother Kin" man sound strange, but if you read early Tai chronicles from Laos and northern Thailand, there are many names like this. In any case, what should be clear is that Phùng Hưng and/or the people who lived in Đường Lâm were seen as different by the Chinese, and remembered that way by Vietnamese in later centuries. The question is, how were they different? Were they a Tai-speaking people? If so, then that is very interesting, because there is another famous person who comes from Đường Lâm – Ngô Quyền, mentioned above, the first ruler of an "independent Vietnam" after 1,000 years of Chinese rule. Could Ngô Quyền have been Tai too?

Angry over the alleged molestation of a four-year-old girl in a private school, hundreds of people, including the victim's parents, on Thursday ransacked the school in west Delhi, police said.
The incident occurred in Ranhola when residents gathered outside the school seeking action against the culprit. They went on to damage its property such as boards, furniture and window panes.
Police used batons to disperse the mob, Deputy Commissioner of Police Seju Kuruvilla said.
"The victim's mother had complained to the police that her daughter was inappropriately touched by another student, a four-year-old, or perhaps by someone else inside the school," he added.
The victim was found bleeding from her private parts, the mother said.
The parents alleged that when they went to the school on Thursday, the principal did not listen to their grievances and instead pushed them out of the building, leading to the mob fury.

The designing of algorithms for real-time digital simulation of analog effects and amplifiers brings two contradictory requirements: accuracy versus computational efficiency. In this paper, the simulation of a typical guitar tube preamp using an approximation of the solution of differential equations is discussed with regard to accuracy and computational complexity. The solution of circuit equations is precomputed and stored in N-D tables. The stored values are approximated, and therefore different approximation techniques are investigated as well. The approximated functions are used for output signal computation and also for circuit state update. The designed algorithm is compared to the numerical solution of the given preamp and also to the real preamp.

Night Music: Nocturnes Volume 2 by John Connolly
A new John Connolly book is always an event, and his latest collection is no exception.
Having already proven himself a master of Dark Fiction, it goes without saying that the short tales of horror here are all gems....dark, compelling and powerful journeys into the shadows that will thrill and chill any horror fan. Connolly's homage to the sub-genre of forbidden texts, The Fractured Atlas-Five Fragments alone is worth the price of admission.
But.....the crown jewels of this collection are something completely different, unexpected gifts for the book lovers in us all.
With the novella, The Caxton Private Lending Library and Book Depository, and it's companion short story, Holmes on the Range: A Tale of the Caxton Private Lending Library and Book Depository, Connolly has outdone himself, creating a special place where the characters of literature appear once their creators have passed away. In my opinion, the very best stories, in any genre, are works of imagination and originality, true classics inspire the imaginations of their readers. These are true classics, in every sense of the word....a heartfelt gift from Mr. Connolly, not only to the authors and books that inspired him, but to every lover of books...giving us a place that we would give anything to visit....and that fills our dreams, wondering who else may be wandering about there. I will be returning to these stories often, as often as I've returned to The Caxton in my mind.
And finally, we come to I Live Here, an autobiographical essay where Mr. Connolly shares the books and authors that inspired him, told with a delightful candor, humor and even a chill from unexpected places.
It goes without saying, my highest possible recommendation.
This was an eARC from Netgalley, offered in exchange for an honest review.

The narrative surrounding hospital services in Hartlepool must change
Dear Editor,
I welcome the announcement from Alan Foster that maternity services will not be centralised at James Cook University Hospital as had long been feared.
The loss of Hartlepool's A&E services is still a major issue for the area and it is very clear that local people want key medical services to remain at the University Hospital of Hartlepool.
The narrative surrounding hospital services in Hartlepool has long centered around talking about which services will be cut, removed or reduced; this must now change to a discussion about how to improve existing services such as the midwife-led maternity services and how to increase provision for those requiring emergency care.

The Great DST Debate
Are you ready to "spring forward" this weekend? I am! I'm not a morning person, and it will be nice to actually enjoy some daylight when I get home from work. However, in both spring and fall we see in the media and online a debate about whether to do away with Daylight Saving Time, stay on Standard Time, or switch to some other plan altogether.
The modern idea of daylight saving was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson, and it was first implemented by Germany and Austria-Hungary starting on April 30, 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, most notably during World War II and during the energy crisis of the 1970s.
Daylight Saving Time was originally introduced to reduce the need for incandescent lighting and save electricity during the summer months. However, with modern, energy-efficient lighting and air conditioning, the need to save electricity and be outdoors during the summer months isn't as big of a concern today.
While the length of daylight hours in the morning and evening increase roughly equally as the year move from winter to summer, proponents of DST have argued that the majority of individuals would appreciate a greater increase in daylight hours after the common nine-to-five work day. DST is usually not observed in countries near the equator because their daylight lengths only vary by a small amount.
The DST versus Standard Time debate usually centers on energy savings, the disruption caused by the change, and health concerns. Retailers and other businesses benefit from extra afternoon sunlight. Conversely, DST can have a negative effect on farmers and others whose hours are set by the sun. Cows, for example, don't observe Daylight Saving Time (they can't read clocks). Cows are sensitive to the timing of milking, so when their milk needs to be picked up earlier, their systems are disrupted.
Clock shifts disrupt sleep and reduce its efficiency. These effects can be severe and last for weeks. A 2008 Swedish study found the number of heart attacks increase during the first few days following the spring time shift. Russian officials cited health concerns when they decided to do away with Daylight Saving Time in 2011.
So what's your opinion? Do you like DST, hate it, or something else?

Four students – Siana, Imani, Max and Miruna – have been working with UCL's Legacies of British Slave-ownership ('LBS') project for a week. They have just finished their AS levels in Year 12 at City and Islington College. The students spent their first four mornings working on the LBS database with Rachel Lang (Project Administrator), mostly looking for addresses in Britain for slave-owners who the team had already identified as probably living in Britain between about 1820 and 1860. They examined slave registers and censuses and the results of their work will be added to the address function in our online database.
In the afternoons they explored sites of interest with connections to slavery. On the Monday afternoon they went to the Golden Hinde to meet Miranda Kaufmann, a historian interested in Africans in Tudor and Stuart England. The following day Rachel Lang took them to Kenwood House in Hampstead. Then on the Wednesday Lenny Hodges gave the group a tour of UCL and spoke to them about the undergraduate history course as well as about student life in general. Thursday afternoon was spent with Dr Nick Draper, one of the project's Co-Director's, who accompanied the students on a visit to the London, Sugar and Slavery gallery at the Museum of London Docklands. Finally Friday morning involved a visit to Hackney Museum, working on an education pack that the LBS project is producing in conjunction with the museum. Then in the afternoon the team had a treat in store for their diligent helpers, a trip to the cinema to watch the film Belle, the story of a mixed-race woman who grew up at Kenwood House in the late 18th century.
It was a very busy week for the four students. The LBS team wanted them to make a valuable contribution to the project and also to gain an insight into the way history research is undertaken in universities. Staff were impressed by how hard they worked, how interested they were in the subject and how pleasant it was to have the students around in the department.

Walmart planned for west Belleville might not open until 2019
Walmart Supercenter no longer coming to west Belleville
Construction on the proposed 24-hour Walmart Supercenter in west Belleville could begin in early 2018 and last about a year, meaning the store likely would not be open until 2019.
But the start of construction could change based on the length of the permitting process, which is now ongoing for the site at the intersection of South 74th Street and Illinois 15, according to a project manager.
On Thursday night, the Belleville Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved five requests from Walmart, including one for a liquor permit. The board is tasked with giving a recommendation to the City Council, which has the final decision on whether to approve the requests.
Aldermen will hear the Walmart requests June 5.
The site is already zoned commercial, but the zoning board is still required to hear variance requests. Here's a rundown of the other variances approved by the zoning panel:
▪ Walmart plans to have a 10-foot fence around the bale and pallet enclosure and the trash compactor enclosure. City code limits fences to 7 feet high.
▪ The store wants the parking lot aisles to be 24 feet wide instead of the 25 feet required by code. Parking lot spaces will be 19 feet long.
▪ Walmart is asking that the combined square footage of eight various signs on the property facing Illinois 15 be allowed to have a total of 638 square feet, which would be 338 square feet over the "cap" required by code.
Rick Rohlfing, a project manager with BFA Engineering in Washington, Mo., told the zoning board that the store will have a place for shoppers to drive up and have someone load the groceries they ordered online. Walmart also plans to build a gas station at the front of the parking lot.
"We've been working on this project for quite some time now," Rohlfing told the panel. He said one of the challenges for the project is that the site is undermined. Research is ongoing as to how to mitigate the undermining.
The Walmart Supercenter on the east side of Belleville was built on a site that was undermined, but the old coal mines were filled before the store off Carlyle Avenue opened about 10 years ago.
Shoppers will enter the west Belleville store off South 74th Street. Direct access from Illinois 15 will not be allowed.
No one from the public spoke against the Walmart requests. Also, Walmart has not asked for tax incentives from Belleville for this store, although the city granted tax incentives for the Green Mount Commons shopping center that includes Walmart.

#ReadersSpecial: Aditya Vij's passion for collecting things stems from a need to preserve everything
#ReadersSpecial: Aditya Vij's passion for collecting old things stems from a need to preserve everything that will soon become history.brunch Updated: Feb 23, 2015 14:41 IST
Aditya Vij's passion for collecting old things stems from a need to preserve everything that will soon become history.
The Bali Nagar residence of Aditya Vij contains 3,000 matchboxes, innumerable old books (including some 100-year-old editions of books by Rabindranath Tagore and Rudyard Kipling), more comic books than you'd find at an average bookshop (including Indrajal, Amar Chitra Katha, and American comics), old maps, tin boxes (Parry's, Morton, Cadbury), old British relics such as the coronation plates issued when Delhi was declared the capital of India in 1911, typewriters, cameras, radios, record players, Bollywood movie posters, priceless vintage cars and scooters, and wildlife specimens from birds' nests to eggs to insects to parts of plants.
There may be other things, in this house crammed with things, but it's difficult to make out what they might be after identifying this much. But oh yes – there's a big collection of HT Brunch too, looked after with just as much care as all the other collections.
Vij, 42, is pretty much like his collections – totally eclectic. He's an anthropologist, an entrepreneur, and a teacher of marketing and fashion at institutes such as Bhartiya Vidyapeeth University and Pearl Academy. He's also quite used to being called a hoarder and kabadiwalla – he's been a collector of everything since he was a child.
"I got into the habit of collecting things when I was just five or six years old and used to go for walks with my father who was an avid reader and collector of comic books and books on wildlife," says Vij. "Inspired by him, I started keeping these things carefully and always kept an eye out for unusual things."
Over the years, Vij has had many different collections, including old scooters (Lambrettas) and vintage cars. About five years ago, saddened by the disappearance of hand-painted movie posters, he began collecting those too. "There were plenty of printed posters available, but I wanted the litho prints of the original oil and watercolour posters," says Vij.
"Today I have around 18 big posters and about the same number of the smaller posters that were put up in the windows of cinema halls. The oldest one I have is of the 1942 film called Roti, starring Sheikh Mukhtar and Sitara Devi and directed by Mehboob Khan." He also has posters of the iconic 1955 movie Azaad, starring Dilip Kumar and Barish (1956), starring Nutan.
"Vinyl prints take just a few minutes in the making today, but they lack the beauty of these hand-painted prints," says Vij.
In love with the past
For Vij, old is truly gold. If anything's about to disappear, he's sure to begin a collection. "Buying a new thing is easy, but how many of us know about things that were there 40-50 years ago?" he asks. "When I take out my old Fiat today, youngsters ask me about the car. How many of us have actually seen the baats and the sers (vintage weights) or Agfa cameras? At one time, taking a good picture was an art. Today digital cameras have made things so easy."
Vij says it's hard to have favourites among his collections. But he does admit to being extra obsessed with a few. There's a 1928 map of Delhi, for instance, that had to be restored from a tattered state, which showed how 70-80 per cent of India's capital city was agricultural or forest land. And there's a Hudson car that took him three months to acquire from the person who was selling it.
"The vintage cars are certainly the most glamorous of my collections, but my matchboxes take prime place," says Vij. "These matchboxes change with time. There are pictures of kings, historical buildings, automobiles and even a Doraemon matchbox. They tell the story of changing times. At one time, all matchboxes in India came from Sweden as we never had the technology to make them. Today, India is the biggest exporter of matchboxes to Europe."
Lost and found
Vij travels far and wide to build his collections, but says that Delhi's Chandni Chowk and Daryaganj are good places to begin, filled as they are with people willing to sell treasures – though at a high price. "At times people have actually given me things because they know I'll take good care of them," he says.
Occasionally, Vij has to work a little harder for his passion. For instance, in Jodhpur, he once had to buy two kilos of jeera because he wanted the Salto tin the jeera was stored in, and the shopkeeper had nothing to transfer the jeera to.
Vij's collections are his alone for the moment but he has big ideas for them. "Ideally, I would want to set up a proper museum where these things can be showcased in a planned way," he says. "Already, people who laughed and said I was weird are bringing their children to my house for a date with history."

Make your skin look and feel amazing this winter
I'm constantly striving for balance, whether it's with work, family life, exercise or food … so why should beauty be any different? If you've read any of my blogs you'll know that I take an inside out approach to beauty. I know that the only reason my skin has such a healthy glow is because I take care of myself. I eat natural wholefoods as much as possible, don't drink caffeine or fizzy drinks and generally exercise every day, even if it is just to walk the dog!
I also know that my self-care rituals, like making time to meditate each morning, even if it is for just 10 minutes, help to create that radiant skin. Before I started my Arbonne business I really did see skincare as a chore. I spent money on good products but never read the labels. I simply bought into the marketing hype behind the big brands and hoped for the best. I now know that the botanical ingredients within each and every Arbonne product make all the difference. Not only do the products make my skin glow, but the changes the business have afforded me puts a spring in my step and gives me a confidence boost too.
I started with a trail pack of Arbonne's RE9 (their flagship anti-ageing range) and within two days I'd noticed a difference. And after embracing my new skincare routine for a week the results were visibly clear and girlfriends were asking me what I was up to since I looked so great. If you're interested in finding out how their skincare routine could work for you, and want to get your hands on these amazing products message me. I'd love to share a 4 day trial pack with you to give your skin a healthy glow this winter.
After embracing an RE9 ritual for three or four days I know you'll be amazed at how good you and your skin feel!
I understand that while the weather is dull and lifeless outside it's hard to get excited about creating great skin but I promise this pre-night-out routine will have your skin glowing and ready to party. These products will get your winter skincare routine back on track. And if your pre-going-out routine normally involves getting two toddlers down before the babysitter arrives and then putting the nearest clean dress on this is still a winter skincare routine you can master. I did – enough said!
I've perfected a pre-party facial that is perfect for busy people like you and me. Not only will it give you the iridescent, look-at-me skin you've always wanted, but you can do it in fifteen minutes at home while you put the kids to bed if you have to! There are just 4 simple steps: wash, exfoliate, add a masque and apply a moisturising oil. Voila - you're done – glowing winter skin!
Ali's Pre-Going Out Facial
Clogged pores, a lack of radiance and an uneven skin surface are all symptoms of congested skin. Product build-up, poor diet and environmental factors can leave your skin lacking its usual clarity and glow. Exfoliate the top layer of skin—this is what causes that lacklustre winter look. Remember to treat your neck and décolleté too and you will see results almost immediately.
This exfoliation prepares the skin for better absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and hydration. It's impossible to over-hydrate during the winter, which is why I add in the Arbonne Intelligence Nourishing Facial Oil to my winter skincare routine. It's a dry oil which contains Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids as well as a super antioxidant to ensure a radiant glow.
Ali's easy winter skincare routine:
- Wash your face and décolleté with your Arbonne cleanser of choice. I love the RE9 Smoothing facial cleanser. It's a rich pearlescent cream which gently washes away makeup and impurities. Retailing at £36 it's great value for money but message me and I can set you up as one of my Preferred Clients. You pay a joining fee of £17 but get 20% off everything for a whole 12 months.
- Apply Arbonne FC5 Exfoliating New Cell Scrub. Fresh carrot cells help this gentle exfoliant to work its magic, revealing radiant healthy looking skin when used as part of your winter skincare routine. £28/preferred client £22.40.
- Apply RE9 Cellular Renewal Masque to the whole face, neck and décolleté avoiding the delicate eye area. Set the timer on your phone and leave for just 5 minutes. This amazing formula, packed with pineapple and papaya enzymes, and algae extract gently exfoliates to visibly improve the appearance of skin tone and texture, minimises the look of pores and provides a radiant glow by drawing blood to the skin's surface. Wash off with the RE9 cleanser to remove any enzymes still working and pat your face dry. It's a salon treatment for a fraction of the cost. £57/PC £45.60
- For the ultimate moisturisation apply a few drops of Arbonne Intelligence Nourishing Facial Oil. £65/ PC £52 This superfood for your skin provides just the right amount of hydration and moisture where it's needed most. It will create a more radiant, even toned complexion and is a perfect primer for foundation and makeup.
Or if your skin is feeling super dry, apply your favourite Arbonne moisturiser on top too. Mine is the RE9 Extra Moisture Restorative day cream. £55/ PC £44 This ultra-hydrating cream mositurises deeply and supports collagen while protecting the skin's youthful appearance. It's packed with algae extract and peptides and in a clinical study after 4 weeks 100% of women had significant improvement in look of skin firmness – perfect for an amazing finishing touch to your winter skincare routine.
The only tricky part in all this is stopping yourself eating the products as you go along, they smell so delicious! I hope you enjoyed learning more about my winter skincare routine and my super quick and easy facial. Let me know what you think if you give it a go!

Kota Tua (Old City)
Kota Tua is an old neighborhood consisting of buildings from the Dutch colonialism era. It was an original part of old Batavia. Nowadays the buildings are mostly used as offices, bars and museum. Within the area there is the Fatahillah museum and also the Wayang Museum. There are also other historical sights surrounding the area such as Toko Merah and the Kota Intan Drawbridge.
Ragusa Italian Ice Cream
Ragusa Italian Ice Cream is the oldest ice cream shop in Jakarta. Fun fact: it is even older than the city itself! It was founded in the year 1932 by two Italian brothers, Luigi Ragusa and Vincenzo Ragusa. This ice cream shop is enjoyed by generations of people. My father brought me here for the first time when I was little and his father (my grandfather) brought him here as well.
Glodok is still a part of the Kota Tua (Old City) of Jakarta. It is the heart and centre of the Chinese community in Jakarta. It consists of intricate alleys that sell traditional Chinese attributes for celebration and also food stalls.
Pasar Baru
Pasar Baru has been around since the year 1820 and it is the oldest business district in Jakarta. You could find almost anything here from good food, books and even textiles. It could be said, that Pasar Baru is one of the most famous textile hubs in Jakarta.

Peralta is a municipality (municipio) of the Azua province in the Dominican Republic.[1]
The village resides at between 5,000 and 7,000 feet in the mountains. It is about a 40 to 50 minutes trip up and down the mountain to the city of Azua de Compostela. The village is primarily focused on agriculture, livestock, and fruits. Electricity is available for all inhabitants in Peralta. However, it does go out from time to time. Blackouts can range from an hour to the whole day.
There are two rivers in the village, many of the villagers bathe in the river even though they have access to running water. There are a total of four major barrios: Los Jobos, El Higüero, El Mercado, Camboya. People tend to blast music out of their stereo usually meregue, bachata, or reggaeton. Reggaeton tends to be the favorite among the youth.
Peralta works with Plan International- an organization that works worldwide to achieve lasting improvements for children living in poverty in developing countries. Peralta has also hosted volunteers in 2003, 2006 and 2010 from Amigos de las Américas, a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas dedicated to creating opportunities for young people to excel in leadership roles promoting public health, education, and community development throughout the Americas.

In Case of Emeregency "ICE"
Cleveleys Road Club recommends all cyclists carry contact details, this is absolutely vital if on your own or even with others, you may be a new member and not known by all in the club yet. In the event of an accident then obtaining your family contact details and any existing medical conditions is vital to first responders at a scene.
The Club maintains a membership database and officals of the club can also access this at any time should the need arise (and it has) and we can also access it online using a smart phone out on a ride. Therefore so important for our members to keep us upto date with your details, our membership card also has "ICE" on the reverse and we recommend you carry this on rides.
There are many ways of carrying your details with you, add "ICE" in your Mobile, helmets quite often come with a name and address sticker inside them, have a frame sticker made with either your name or the club name and your phone number as well, Flandria Bikes make custom frame stickers. There are various wrist bands, dog tags, helmet sticker sets also available, see links below for further info. If anyone comes across other systems let me know and I will add them below.

Nearly every category-theory proof works out to:
1. Remember what all the terms mean.
2. Draw a widget.
3. Chase the arrows.
4. Magic happens! This often leaves one with a vaguely unsatisfying feeling.
Here's the exercise from section 3.13 in the book. Given a pullback:
Show that if f is monic, g must be monic as well.
Step 1: A is a pullback, which means that the diagram commutes (any path from X to Y is equal to any other path). Further, if there is another object Q with arrows to B to C that makes the diagram commute (a "cone"), then there is a unique arrow !p: Q->A that makes the resulting diagram commute.
(In Set a pullback A can be interpreted as ordered tuples from BxC for which k and j agree, along with the projections from BxC to B and to C.)
"monic" is the category theory version of "1-1" for functions. It means f is "left-cancellable" so that if x.f = y.f then x = y. (I'll use a period for arrow composition because I'm too lazy to insert HTML dot operators.)
Step 2: We want to show that the monic property holds for g as well. So suppose g.s1 = g.s2 for some arbitrary s1,s2:S->A. (S could be one of the existing objects, or a new one--- it doesn't matter.)
Then k.g.s1 = k.g.s2.
Because the diagram commutes, k.g.s1 = f.j.s2.
Also f.j.s1 = f.j.s2, which because f is monic means j.s1 = j.s2.
Now we can draw our widget, which is a "cone" from S to B and C:
Step 3: Does the new diagram commute? Yes, as we showed above k.g.s1 = f.j.s2, so both 'arms' of the cone from S fit. That means we can apply the pullback property, and introduce the unique arrow p.
What is p? Well, suppose we put s1 there. Then g.s1 (via the dotted line) = g.s1 trivially. And j.s1 = j.s2 we showed above. So s1 makes the diagram commute.
Now what is we put s2 there instead? Then j.s2 (dotted line) = j.s2 (solid line) trivially again. And g.s1 = g.s2 is what we assumed. So s2 makes the diagram commute as well.
Step 4: We showed s1 satisfies the properties of p, and also s2. But p is unique, so s1 = s2.

I spent some great days with my friends from Berlin. First of all when they arrived in Manila I was showing them round in the City of Manila and they did some one day trips round Manila.
After that we decided to visit Sagada and Banaue, where one can see the 2000 year old rice terraces -actually a world wonder! [googlemaps https://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&geocode=&q=Sagada,+Cordillera+Administrative+Region,+Philippinen&aq=0&oq=sagada&sll=22.395793,114.109497&sspn=2.000977,4.22699&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sagada,+Mountain+Province,+Cordillera+Administrative+Region,+Philippinen&t=m&ll=17.083369,120.900078&spn=0.098452,0.102997&z=12&iwloc=A&output=embed&w=300&h=300]
We took a bus from Manila to go to Banaue and then changed there into a van to Bontoc. From there we made our way by jeepney to our first stop: Sagada. In fact already the journey to Sagada was exciting. Basti and me were riding on top of the jeepney and enjoyed the beautiful view over the rice terraces and the beautiful nature in the Cordilleras of Luzon.
In Sagada we first made a trip to some caves. It was very adventurous, we had to climb through the smallest wholes and up the rocks inside the cave to make our way. In the second cave there were a lot of stalagmites and stalagtites. This cave was actually called the pron cave and the guide was telling us stories about this cave and why it has this name. After 3h of caving we took a cold cold bath in a natural pool inside the cave.
The next day we were so lucky to see the Town Fiesta. The parade of the Fiesta actually started right infront of our hostel. There we got to see a lot of people in the traditional costumes and they were dancing there native dances.
We also enjoyed a special coffee in Sagada. This kind of coffee is eaten by wild cats and they shit out the beans and those beans are then roasted for the coffee. Sounds disgusting, but it is actually tasty. But since this coffee is a delicacy it is highly expensive!
After that we went on a guided tour to the Hanging Coffins, the Echo Valley, the Underground River and some small Waterfalls.
The Hanging Coffins are the main attraction in Sagada, because it is a special way of burying the dead, which one can only find in Sagada. The coffins are hanging high on the rocks you can find around Sagada. People believe, if they are buried that way, they are closer to God.
The Underground River was also very interesting, but unfortunately we could not go the whole way along the river, because we had no flashlights.
After the this hike in the sun, the bath in the waterfalls was very refreshing. In the evenig we went to a restaurant called Log Cabin. And I can tell the food was soooo great. Maybe the best food I got so far in the Philippines. It is not typical Filipino food, but sometimes it is okay to have a break from Filipino food. There we also sat together with some very nice Swiss people, who were taking a break from work to travel around the world.
The next day we got up very early to go to Banaue. Again we were sitting on top of the jeepney to enjoy the beautiful view. And then our two days hike through the rice terraces started.
Fro me this trip was one of the best I made in the Phillies so far. We had a guide for two days.
First of all we went by jeep over a very rocky road in the hills and hiked then down into a small village called Batad.
Batad is located in the middle of a valley full of rice terraces and from our pension we could overlook the whole valley! From there we went on hiking through the terraces and through this nice village to u huge waterfall of more than 40 meters height in another valley. The hiking there is tough because the mountains are high and steep.
We spent the night in Batad and continued our trip the next day to a village called Banga'an. It was a four hours hike, again through the mountains and the rice terraces. The view you have there is so amazing. And every effort you have to take, like hiking in the midday sun, is it worth.
After we arrived in Banga'an a tricycle took us back to Banaue. This was very adventurous again, cos the roads are very rocks. Sometimes it is even ridiculous to calls those paths roads. It's really back to nature, but it also feels like complete freedom.

I have only just typed this up from my notes but decided to publish in case anyone looking at my other two recent pieces would find it useful. I will be back to clean it up. Right now, I haven't even read through it once.
The morning of February 8th, Peter Greene's piece Sampling the PARCC came across my feed. Where Maine is not a PARCC state, I immediately wondered if a similar piece of criticism existed for Smarter Balanced's exam for high school students. I looked for a little bit, and when I came up empty handed, I decided why not just do it myself.
At this point I should probably mention I took the traditional route to get my teaching license. I majored in English and minored in secondary education. I attended college in Massachusetts, so I had to pass the Massachusetts teacher's licensing exam, including the English subject area exam, in order to student teach. When I came to Maine, I needed the Praxis exam for my license. Then later, I took the MRE to apply for grad school. So, I've taken standardized tests on this material myself as well as taught some of it to high school freshmen.
Now, I didn't the 11th grade MEA / Smarter Balanced exam right away for a few reasons. First of all, my children are quite young. I've been out of the classroom as a stay at home mom, so my focus has been on their educational experiences. But, I also didn't take the exam because I do not have excessive criticism of the standards for ELA incorporated in the Maine Learning Results from the Common Core State Standards. (I left teaching for my daughter's birth in 2009, so I missed teaching under the standards). I also believed that the test was not as much as an issue for older students because the standards were backwards mapped, and thus age appropriate, but also that they are better equipped to deal with the test on all level. However, after my experience with the 3rd grade exam and then reading Greene's piece, I no longer felt sure of my assumptions. I had to find out for myself.
My first section of the exam was on substantial in the fashion industry. I couldn't tell if you the passage was boring or not, because I didn't read it. I could answer all seven questions without taking any time to read the full piece on the left hand side. Any portions referenced were repeated on the right. Why waste my time reading stuff twice?
My first questions asked me to choose a detail that supports the conclusion presented to me. This had a traditional multiple choice format. The second question asked for the same skill, however, this time I read the provided conclusion, and then read three repeated paragraphs from the text and clicked on the actual sentence that supported that conclusion. Ran into a slight snag, though. Nothing happened when I clicked my chosen sentence. So, I scrolled over other sentences. Oh, the ones that are okay to choose from highlight blue. I won't be wasting time reading full paragraphs from here on out. I'll just look for the blue ones. Still, my answer wasn't there, so I had to pick the next best answer. It took two questions before I saw Greene's point that the test does not allow the reader to make their own meaning of the text. Instead, the student must guess at the test writer's interpretation of the text. I read a whole section in Rick Wormeli's book Fair Isn't Always Equal about how wrong that is just last week. Hmm, strange that no one at Smarter Balanced knows this.
Question number three asked me to pick the central idea (i.e. main idea) of the text from four options. Again, no room for my own interpretation of the text. And suddenly, it was clear to me why I struggled with these questions as a teenager.
Question four paused on evaluating main ideas and supporting deatils, and instead asked me to infer the meaning of a vocab word from the sentence. Of course, there is no inferring necessary I already know the meaning of the word.
Question five introduced two part questions. For part A, I picked a conclusion from the four provided. Then in part B, I choose the piece of evidence that best supports my choice from part A.
Part A of question six asked me to pick the reason an example was used in the text from four choices, and then part B asked me to actually click on the sentences from two paragraphs that support my choice in part A. There was a small problem with wording here. The question said "sentences" so a student might think more than once answer is necessary.
Question seven asked me how the first paragraph affected the overall structure of the piece. I'd consider that rich question for students of this age. However, I had to choose from four options instead of creating my own answer.
Now I moved on the second section of the test on fiction. Its from Life of Pi. I've read that book and seen the film in the last year. I am suddenly at a huge advantage over a student who has done neither because of the prior knowledge I bring to the exam based on my personal experiences and home life, two things the school system has no control over. Because I've read this book before, I do not waste time rereading the passage on the right and I go directly to the questions.
Question 8 provides me with a conclusion about the text and asks me to find a detail that supports it in a repeated paragraph. I check only the highlighted sentences.
Question 9 part A askes me to choose the centeral idea of a paragraph from four choices, and then part B asks me to choose the best support. There are two strong answers in part B that I would be happy to see a student argue in class discussion or an analytical essay.
Question 10 ask me to choose the centeral idea of the text out of the four options. Again, I believe there are two strong answers that I would be accept of students.
For question 11, I infer the meaning of a word from a sentence from the text. Its easy because I already know the word. I find the nature of fiction makes this task harder. Because I know the word, I see one clear answer and context clue. However, a student unfamiliar with the word might choose the image of the sea as a context clue and choose either of two wrong answers.
Almost half way through the exam and it is the first time I see a text box for an open answer question. I am asked what specific examples in the text suggest about the narrator.
Question 13 part A requires I choose a conclusion about character from details in the first paragraph, and then I must choose a detail that best supports that conclusion for part B. I am back to guessing what the test writers believe is the correct intreptation rather than forming my own based on evidence.
Question 14 has me choose a conclusion about the characterization of the narrator. Again, multiple choice.
Lastly, question 15 asks me to choose which of four statements best explains how a specific metaphor adds to the text. Literary scholars would be out of work if things like metaphor only had one best answer.
With all the push for nonfiction study in ELA classrooms, I am surprised that thus far on the exam seven questions were on reading a nonfiction text and eight questions were on reading fiction.
At this point, I've been at the exam for about forty five minutes. I have no spent time reading the passages presented on the left. I have lost time dealing with distractions in my environment. One of my legs is going numb from sitting in the same position this long.
The next section is about writing. Question 16 asks me to read a group of sentences and then move the underlines to the best location. This question is too easy and very similar to material I saw on the third grade test that required ordering multiple details.
Question 17 Requires me to read a "draft" and pick a new conclusion that uses a specific purpose. This is not about my writing abilities, but my ability to analyze someone else's writing.
Question 18 is an open answer questions. I am asked to read the provided material. The first part is a draft of a pressuasive piece and the second part is notes. I am then asked to turn the notes into the counterarguement to be included in the draft. I am being asked to analyze the writing to find the correct points and to then summarize them. I am not being asked to formulate my own ideas.
Question 19 tells me a student is writing a piece for her school paper on toe fungus. Yes, toe fungus. Anyway, I am asked to replace the two underlines words with a given purpose. Both words are in each answer rather than independent. I narrow the answers down to three choices, but then don't feel very strongly about the rest. I am unsure if its a poor questions of if my brain is starting to shut down.
Question 20 asks me to replace the underlined word in a text given the intended audience of the piece. I have to choose two replacement words. The piece is about music and knowing vocabulary about music is a huge help. I still believe three answers are equally good and would be guessing at the test writer's intentions to disclude one.
I've reached the listening skills section; however, I am not going to listen to the pieces. There are six questions here, three questions each for two presentations.
Question 22 asks me to define a term from the presentation. Question 23 asks why the "rhetorical technique of comparison" was used in the piece. Question 24 asks me to draw a conclusion from the provided details. All three questions are multiple choice.
Question 25 wants me to pick the tone of the centeral idea. Of the four choices provided, two use pretty advanced vocabularly. Question 26 asks me to draw a conclusion about the purpose of certain details in the presentation. And question 27 is two parts. I bet you can guess what they ask at this point. Part A asks me what a specific example proves, and then I choose the best support for my choice in part B.
Finally, I am on the last section of the exam. This section focuses on research skills.
Oh look, question 28 is on one topic I really harped on students: Plagiarism. I'm happy to see this on the exam. I am to read two "original" sources and then a students synthesis of them. Then, I'm to pick the two details (by clicking on them directly in the passage) that are plagiarized. Because the student has no used any form of citation, in my mind, anything from either text is stolen. Now all I have to do is match the information from the report to the sources. This seems a round about way to test this concept, and ultimately, if I mess up my matching (because I'm getting tired of taking this test is one viable reason that might happen), I might get the answer wrong even if I understand plagiarism well.
Question 29 presents a draft of a student paper and a list of sources. I am supposed to read the student paper and then pick two sources that would be helpful to that student. I feel like I'm just matching again. Matching the presented ideas in the student paper to where they show up again in the answer choices.
The last question is a table. I am asked to read three sources and then use the table to mark which sources make each claim. There are four claims. If I read the chart first, then I am just looking for specific ideas when I read and marking them down. I am unsure if this is really testing my ability to use the table, but a similar, but smaller, table was used on the 3rd grade exam.
My overall thoughts of the exam weren't very high. Just as Peter Greene found when he took the PARCC exam, the Smarter Balance exam had some real issues. The exam rewarded good test taking skills as well as rewarding prior knowledge unrelated to the skills and knowledge being tested. Also, the test was almost entirely based on how someone else interpreted texts giving students extremely limited opportunity to show creativity or real critical thinking skills. When a student's own thoughts don't match the exam (as happened to me a few times before I just used my test taking skills to work the test), then the student is left to guess what is best instead of supporting their own thinking.
When I finished, I jumped over to the performance exam and took screen shots of the questions and directions, but didn't analyze anything.
