[WARNING: It's really long but I hope you will stay to the end!]
It's time once again to fight about social studies standards for Minnesota schools. To have arguments about how much or how little patriotism these standards contain. To be outraged that this person/group/event isn't mentioned or that person/group/event isn't mentioned enough or the even pettier argument comparing the number of mentions of this vs. that. It's time once again for the most tiresome arguments and accusations of INDOCTRINATION to be hurled around, including a particularly hyperbolic statement made by conservative jack of all trades Mitch Berg (who appears to be claiming some expertise in education policy because he has family members who are educators and that makes him a dynasty or something), who labels public schools "the enemy" because of some perceived threat within the changing standards and also his own anecdotal biases.
These are tiresome arguments not just because they are largely hyperbolic and silly but because they distract from real problems with this version of the standards and their implementation that schools and parents really ought to be concerned about. I made a comment on a recent MPR Newscut article about the new standards that sums up my feelings about this whole debate but I decided to go into a bit more detail.
The reactions are largely hyperbolic because I suspect that social studies teachers across the state are looking at these new standards and making mostly small adjustments, if any adjustments at all, to the actual materials and events and people that we cover in the classroom. Like I stated in the above Newscut article, the pilgrims will remain in the curriculum of schools across the state regardless of whether they are specifically listed in the social studies standards. Chances are your children will continue to color pilgrim pictures and bring home pilgrim hats just as mine have throughout their school careers. I noticed some comment or tweet recently about the absence of the Articles of Confederation in the standards but I can assure you that most schools, including myself, will continue to teach about the Articles in contrast to the Constitution. As an aside, however, the Articles are in the standards on page 126 so we can breathe a sigh of relief on that crisis averted.
Maybe, just maybe, the standards need a little more America HELL YEAH and a little less America BAD but in my reading of them (yes, I understand all you conservatives reading this will dismiss my opinions as just another liberal indoctrinator) I see the greatness and HELL YEAH of America loud and clear in the standards. Why? Because to borrow a phrase from Morgan Freeman in this video about the Declaration of Independence that I use in my classroom, the real greatness of America…
… has been our nation's epic struggle throughout history to close the gap between the ideals of this remarkable document and the sometimes painful realities of American life.
That's how I choose to teach my class and interpret these standards. Is America perfect? No, but our greatness isn't in perfection it is in honestly addressing our shortcomings and trying over and over again with varying levels of success to keep and spread the idea of freedom. So, take it for what it is worth that I and most likely every other social studies teacher in the state will read these standards not as some opportunity to indoctrinate anyone into some perceived anti-America club. We will take these standards and try to convey the story of America in a way that gets kids excited about the history of this country as well as excited about history in general. Because the reality is that there is no secret plot to indoctrinate your children. There is no organized effort by myself or other social studies teachers to create more liberals which would be an interesting feat given about half the social studies teachers I know are conservatives. Frankly, the only thing I want my students to do is be able to appreciate where this country has been and where it might be going and find a way to participate in making it better.
Unfortunately, because we have to waste all of our time convincing each other that we aren't in the middle of some sinister plot to wreck America we lose out on the real outrage of the newest version of the social studies standards.
The problem with these standards is more structural than it is in the content. First, the state intends to move in a direction in which every school in the state will have the same social studies classes in the same years as every other school in the state. The logic in this, which has been conveyed to me and my colleagues, is that if a student moves from one district to another they will be able to plug into the same courses that they found in their prior school. While I can certainly understand the reasoning I don't necessarily agree that our system should be built around whether someone MIGHT move in or out of the district.
Second, the way I understand things and the way it has been portrayed to my social studies department is that within this new proposed framework in which all schools would teach the same subjects during the same grades there is an even more concerning change. That change involves reducing the credit of and placement of the Economics and Government courses to the lower grades (9th or 10th grade) and increasing credit of and placement of World History to the 12th grade year.
De-emphasizing both Government and Economics is outrageous enough given how important it is that students understand the world we live in but placing them in the lower end of the high school career is just developmentally wrong. Students in 11th and 12th grade have a difficult enough time wrapping their heads around these sometimes complex topics. 9th and 10th grade students certainly are not ready for their complexities. In addition to their complexity, the relevance of government and economics is mostly lost on students in these younger grades. In my early career I taught 8th grade Civics and it was a challenge to get students to understand civic participation when they were 4-5 years removed from any opportunity to participate. While I have never taught economics, I cannot imagine trying to get a 9th or 10th grade student to understand the vagaries of micro or macro economics. On the other end, I believe World History has value and I don't have a problem expanding any social studies course (I'm a little biased that way) but I cannot understand why it would be placed in the senior year when far more relevant and meaningful classes could be taught (i.e government and economics).
So, rather than bickering about the same old stale culture war and patriotism and super mean liberal enemies or super mean conservative enemies we are missing a real opportunity to talk about the structural problems with these standards. Anyway, until then us social studies teachers will wait patiently while the pundits and activists shout it out hoping and praying for some common sense but likely getting none and then we will get back to the work of teaching social studies until next time we stand in the middle of this kabuki theater.

By NANCY SCHOEFFLER|
March 25, 2010
When John Barricelli was growing up, his Aunt Vera had a cheesecake recipe hanging on the wall of her Forest Hills, N.Y., kitchen.
"I can make that," Barricelli recalls thinking to himself when he was about 13. "I kept reading it over and over again. It's the recipe that inspired me to cook. Period."
Last Friday, on St. Joseph's Day, Barricelli drove down to visit his aunt and give her a copy of "The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook," published earlier this month [Clarkson Potter, $35]. "Thank you for the inspiration of the cheesecake," he says he wrote in her copy. "You never knew what it meant to me."
Barricelli, 49, who opened The SoNo Baking Company & Café in South Norwalk five years ago, was cooking for his family even before age 13. He was the sixth of eight boys, and his mother died when he was 9. "My father leaned on me to get dinner started."
Baking must have been in his bones; Barricelli's great-grandfather, Giuseppe Barricelli, owned a panetteria in Brooklyn, and his grandfather passed the recipes down to him.
Barricelli went on to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America and became a pastry chef almost by default at Leona Helmsley's Palace Hotel.
"The chef said, 'You look like a baby.' It took three interviews." He says the employees who couldn't handle working for Helmsley left "one by one," and before long, the chef who had had no confidence in him decamped as well, handing Barricelli the entire menu book.
"Ironically, I ended up running the show over there."
A droll storyteller, Barricelli also remembers when he worked as a baker in the early 1980s at The Commissary in TriBeCa, where he created his chocolate ganache cake, now his bakery's most requested chocolate cake. His co-worker was Madonna, "just a starving singer in the East Village" back then, working as the restaurant's coat-check girl.
"We both sort of worked in the basement," he laughs. "That's where the coats were stored."
Barricelli later created pastries at such hallowed foodie destinations as Le Bernardin ("a perfectly run kitchen"), Four Seasons Restaurant and the River Café, and he opened two of his own bakeries — Encore Patisserie in Manhattan and Cousin John's Café in Brooklyn — before moving to Connecticut in the mid-1990s.
Married and the father of four, the Fairfield resident says he met Martha Stewart when he was working as executive pastry chef at the Elms Restaurant and Tavern in Ridgefield. He went on to test recipes for her, became one of her co-hosts on her PBS series "Everyday Food," and then launched his own spinoff show, "Everyday Baking," which premiered in January 2008.
Barricelli's cookbook includes nearly 150 recipes for sweet and savory breads and baked goods, from rustic favorites to sublimely decadent indulgences. He offers helpful technique tips with many of the recipes, and the photography by Ben Fink is beautifully tantalizing.
As he puts it, there's "nothing earth-shattering in my book; it's the classics done well."
For now, Barricelli is looking to expand to New Haven, where the bakery sells its wares three days a week at the farmers market. "It's a great food area," he says. "People appreciate good food there."
And he's already talking about writing another cookbook, possibly on baking with fruit.

WKU Biology Alumnus Receives Allteach Young Scientist Award
|Date: Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
|Return to Archive
News from Biology Department Alumni:
My name is Maggie Wisniewska, and I am a 2011 WKU alumnus. I completed my Master of Science Degree (MS) in Biology under the advisement of Dr. Bruce Schulte. My MS thesis question investigated the interplay of age, reproductive condition and behavioral traits in female African savanna elephants. While still at WKU I decided to enter the competition for the Alltech Young Scientist Award (http://www.alltech.com/education/alltech-young-scientist/about). This award is granted by Alltech, Inc., a company that gives undergraduate and graduate students a chance to share their research with the global community and compete at two levels: country and international level. The Young Scientist program's scope of interest spans a variety of topics related to agriculture, such as agronomy, animal science, biological science or veterinary science. Recently, my paper, entitled "Trade-offs in activity budgets in lactating and nonlactating African savanna elephants", was selected as the third prize winner in the United States graduate category. I also received a prize of $300 USD, a memory stick and a medal recognizing my work. Today I would like to share my success with the Biology Department and the entire WKU community. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my committee members and fellow graduate students for their guidance and support and the WKU Graduate Studies, Ogden College of Science and Engineering, and the Department of Biology for their funding.

Darin Hartley, author of 10 Steps to Social Networking for Business is writing a new book on social learning and wants the input of learning practitioners who are using social learning every day. Here's Darin's message:
I am working on a follow-up book to 10 Steps to Successful Social Networking for Business (ASTD Press, 2010) called: 101 (or so) Tips, Tricks and Tools for Social Learning (ASTD Press, 2012). The market is saturated with books on social media and networking in general, but there are fewer books available on the practical application of social learning. Many of you are interested in leveraging social media for learning…but aren't sure of some of the capabilities of the technology or your own capabilities to implement. You want to use the technology but might not be clear on some ways to harness the power of these systems to help support learning readiness in your organization. This book will be full of ideas (101 or so) for lots of ways to implement aspects of social media into your learning and performance programs.
In the spirit of these technologies, and because, I believe that real-world practitioners, like yourselves will have the best, most practical tips, I'm reaching out to you for your input. Please send me your social learning tips, tricks, and tools—I have created an intake survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GMKFC5B
The survey can be used to gather contact information and the highlights of the social learning best practice you want to share. The best part of this is if your input becomes part of the book, you will be recognized in the book, as well as receive a copy after publication!

Why work as an English assistant in France? First, because its the easiest job to find in France without physically being there. From the perspective of the French Ministry of Education, which recently started recruiting kindergarten through high school English assistants, your ability to speak English fluently is in such high demand that the normal problems of obtaining a work visa are waived.
The requirements for the job are the completion of a major or minor in French and two letters of recommendation. You also must be a U.S. citizen and no more than 29 years of age.The job does not require fluency in French.
The contract is from October to the end of April, with three 2-week breaks in between. The breaks are a wonderful opportunity to explore outside of France. I came home for the Christmas break and traveled to Egypt and Ireland during the winter and spring breaks.
Dont expect everything to be planned for you. You may have to wait a long time to even hear if you are accepted. I applied in February and didnt receive the acceptance letter until July to start the job in October.
Finally, the location of your school and your responsibilities are not up to you. The French Ministry of Education hires for schools throughout France, so you may not get your first choice. Also, because the English assistant position is a fairly new one, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty about what the English assistants role really is within the school. For example, I rarely had the opportunity to teach, and, when I did, it was always with the primary English teacher by my side. Some of my friends, on the other hand, were solely responsible for their classes.
For more information on the Teaching Assistant Program in France go to www.frenchculture.org.
See Susan Griffith's article on Teaching English in Europe for a more detailed discussion, links and advice on teaching English in France.
SARA WILSON, a graduate of the Univ. of Michigan, has worked as an English teacher in both France and Taiwan.

PEMBROKE, Ga. (AP) - Police in coastal Georgia say a toddler has died after being attacked by seven dogs.
Bryan County Sheriff Clyde Smith tells the Savannah Morning News (http://bit.ly/YJYOO8 ) the 18-month-old girl was mauled in the yard Wednesday evening by dogs her family owned. Authorities say the unidentified girl's grandmother was asleep when she heard a commotion and saw the girl being attacked when she looked out of her window.
Authorities say the dogs, pit bulls and pit bull mixes, have been euthanized by Bryan County Animal Control.
It was unclear Wednesday night if charges would be filed.

What to expect from Friday's jobs reports
Here's what I expect the numbers will say, what they'll mean for the market and which stocks investors should buy now.
This week, Wall Street is heavily focused on two major reports due Friday. The first is the unemployment report. The second is the nonfarm payroll report. While neither should paint a rosy picture for the current state of the economy, I expect to see "less-bad" numbers that should get investors in the buying mood.
I'll also be keeping a close eye on the average workweek -- we'll get those numbers Friday, too. That figure recently hit a low of 33 hours. As the workweek lengthens, I expect to see more jobs created. The bottom line is that serious job growth is still months away, but the seeds of job creation are firming up.
I expect to see more job losses for November, which will make it the 23rd month in a row of employment declines. However, I also expect to see some modest increases in temporary employment. This is an important hint that broader employment will pick up in the near future, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a fresh round of buying from institutional investors.
The nonfarm payrolls report is important because it will show how many jobs the economy made or lost in November. The good news is that by this count, the economy has been getting worse at a slower pace. Last winter, the economy was losing 600,000 to 700,000 jobs a month. That's slowed down recently, and we've only been losing around 200,000 jobs a month since the summer. A continuation of fewer jobs lost is exactly what this market needs right now.
Another indicator that is pointing to strength in the market is holiday sales. The numbers have been good so far, and much better than last year. Amazon.com (AMZN), which is one of my Top Stocks for December, continues to make new highs on increased sales.
Increased sales means increased inventory rebuilding, which leads to higher GDP. During the worst of the crisis, many companies simply burned off their excess inventory rather than restocked their shelves. Inventories have dropped for 10 straight months but with sales picking up, a turnaround is in the works. Those shelves need to be restocked, and that's why I'm expecting fourth-quarter GDP growth to be up at least 3%.
There's a nice snowball effect happening now that has jobs moving in the right direction, sales picking up and GDP rising. I like what I'm seeing, and the best strategy for investors is to continue to focus on buying stocks that are increasing sales in this environment. A great example is the weight-loss outfit Medifast (MED). The company's business has been booming. Sales surged 65% last quarter, and I'm expecting another solid earnings report in a few weeks. The stock has recently hit another new 52-week high, and I think it's very possible for Medifast to gain another 25% to 35% in the next three months. I rate Medifast and Amazon.com as Strong Buys for solid profits in the coming months.
At the time of this writing, Louis Navellier owned shares of AMZN and MED in personal or client portfolios.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police are realigning troop boundaries in Kent County in order to better utilize the law enforcement agency's manpower. Authorities say the realignment that takes effect Monday involves Troop 9, based in the New Castle County town of Odessa, and Troop 3, based in Woodside. Traditionally, Troop 3 has provided patrol services for all of Kent County. The new plan calls for Troop 9 to now handle calls in northern Kent County, essentially from the New Castle/Kent County line south to Denney's Road. Troop 3 will be responsible for the remainder of Kent County. Official say the realignment should be seamless for the public, and that public safety will not be compromised.

Amazon.com started as an online bookstore but soon diversified into selling DVDs, VHS tapes, CDs, video and MP3 downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys and jewelry. The company also produces consumer electronics, notably the Amazon Kindle e-book reader, Kindle Fire tablet computer, and the Fire Phone smartphone. It is also a major provider of cloud computing services.
Amazon also operates retail websites for Sears Canada, bebe Stores, Marks & Spencer, Mothercare, and Lacoste. For a growing number of enterprise clients, currently including the UK merchants Marks & Spencer, Benefit Cosmetics' UK entity, edeals.com, and Mothercare, Amazon provides a unified multichannel platform where a customer can interact with people via retail websites, standalone in-store terminals, or phone-based customer service agents. Amazon Web Services also powers AOL's Shop@AOL.
Headquartered in Seattle, Amazon has offices, fulfillment centers, warehouses, customer service centers and software development centers across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Ryan McDonough's curator insight, July 7, 8:19 AM
Self explanatory visual on the benefits of gaming as a means of learning. Outlined are the rewards, mastery, engagement, intensity, exercise, readiness, and competitiveness. These types of graphics need to be displayed in the classroom. There's always parents who are unsure of how gaming qualifies as teaching. Can't they just sit their kid in front of an iPad all day at home? Well, in the appropriate setting, with the right direction and guidance, games are certainly good for learning. Some people just don't know that from experience yet.

Anxiety can slow you down at work, create stress in your relationships, mess with your sleep, and make it hard to relax.
You've probably already tried willpower, ignoring the problem, asking for reassurance, and talking it out. But talking alone rarely makes a dent in a worry habit – especially when other people start comparing their stories of stress with yours.
There is another way.
Work, life, relationships – they can all be easier. You can find more ease in everything you do.

It's time for you to feel that way too.
Let's chat. Call (510) 277-0456 to talk about your specific situation and see if I can help.
Here's what's possible…
My clients consistently feel more relaxed, focused, and confident. Over 85% have made significant changes in their work, relationships, or lifestyle.
If anxiety is getting in the way and you're looking for a solid, evidence-based approach that makes a real difference, you're in the right place.
Call (510) 277-0456 for a 15 minute complimentary phone session.

Raka moved downtown!
Today was our first day in our new office space at 30 Penhallow Street in Portsmouth, NH. It's a few feet away from Market Square, the center of town, as well as very close our favorite restaurants, coffee shops, stores and waterfront. We were in our old space at Islington Street for over 3 years, so it was sad to say goodbye, but we're very excited to be downtown in this incredible new space. It's three times the size of our previous office, with exposed brick and beams, great architecture and lots of light. We're going to have a great time settling into this creative environment.

The SEIKO stand at Baselworld is unmistakably Japanese in its design, content and theme. With the Katana-inspired Ananta on one side, with the Myochin wind bell inspired Minute Repeater on the other and with a beautiful bamboo sculpture hanging in the atrium, the ancient traditions of Japan are very much to the fore.
However, there is an equally interesting modern side to Japan and that, too, is reflected in the SEIKO stand.
SEIKO Galante 'Black Jack'
For some years, the SEIKO Galante collection has been attracting the attention of a special group of Japanese consumers a passion for the modern, unusual and idiosyncratic character of modern Japan. The new 2011 model features the popular 'Manga' character from Japan, 'Black Jack' on the dial. Black Jack was created by Osamu Tezuka, the legendary 'Manga' artist. He also created the famous 'Atom' (Astro Boy), which Galante featured in the 2010 collection. In contrast with brighter character of Atom, Black Jack is perceived as a hero of darkness. The two models are displayed side by side in the window, and the both are equipped with a mechanical movement with an open-heart dial.
Credor Node J
SEIKO 'M' named 'Milagro'
For women, too, there are watches with a distinctive Japanese character. Credor Node J features a hand-engraved dial set with extravagant diamonds. SEIKO 'M' was inspired by the mysterious story of a female Japanese agent visiting unknown southern islands. The new model is named 'Milagro' and features diamond and colorful precious stones on the bezel.
Lukia - SEIKO 130th anniversary collection
The Lukia collection also aims at a vibrant group of Japanese consumers, active young women, and the SEIKO 130th anniversary collection offers convenient solar powered models with radio control function. Lukia is increasingly popular in Asian countries, and introduction of the new lines are highly appreciated by the increasing number of visitors from China.
Baselworld 2011 is drawing to a close. On these pages tomorrow, we will try to give you a sense of the whole event.

Organizations shall have a board of directors that provides adequate oversight of the charity's operations and its staff. Indication of adequate oversight includes, but is not limited to, regularly scheduled appraisals of the CEO's performance, evidence of disbursement controls such as board approval of the budget, fund raising practices, establishment of a conflict of interest policy, and establishment of accounting procedures sufficient to safeguard charity finances.
The organization meets this standard.
Soliciting organizations shall have a board of directors with a minimum of five voting members.
An organization shall have a minimum of three evenly spaced meetings per year of the full governing body with a majority in attendance, with face-to-face participation. A conference call of the full board can substitute for one of the three meetings of the governing body. For all meetings, alternative modes of participation are acceptable for those with physical disabilities.
Not more than one or 10% (whichever is greater) directly or indirectly compensated person(s) serving as voting member(s) of the board. Compensated members shall not serve as the board's chair or treasurer.
No transaction(s) in which any board or staff members have material conflicting interests with the charity resulting from any relationship or business affiliation. Factors that will be considered when concluding whether or not a related party transaction constitutes a conflict of interest and if such a conflict is material, include, but are not limited to: any arm's length procedures established by the charity; the size of the transaction relative to like expenses of the charity; whether the interested party participated in the board vote on the transaction; if competitive bids were sought and whether the transaction is one-time, recurring or ongoing.
Have a board policy of assessing, no less than every two years, the organization's performance and effectiveness and of determining future actions required to achieve its mission.
Submit to the organization's governing body, for its approval, a written report that outlines the results of the aforementioned performance and effectiveness assessment and recommendations for future actions.
Spend at least 65% of its total expenses on program activities.
Spending should be no more than 35% of related contributions on fund raising. Related contributions include donations, legacies, and other gifts received as a result of fund raising efforts.
Avoid accumulating funds that could be used for current program activities. To meet this standard, the charity's unrestricted net assets available for use should not be more than three times the size of the past year's expenses or three times the size of the current year's budget, whichever is higher.
Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $500,000, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $500,000, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.
Include in the financial statements a breakdown of expenses (e.g., salaries, travel, postage, etc.) that shows what portion of these expenses was allocated to program, fund raising, and administrative activities. If the charity has more than one major program category, the schedule should provide a breakdown for each category.
Accurately report the charity's expenses, including any joint cost allocations, in its financial statements. For example, audited or unaudited statements which inaccurately claim zero fund raising expenses or otherwise understate the amount a charity spends on fund raising, and/or overstate the amount it spends on programs will not meet this standard.
Have a board-approved annual budget for its current fiscal year, outlining projected expenses for major program activities, fund raising, and administration.
Have solicitations and informational materials, distributed by any means, that are accurate, truthful and not misleading, both in whole and in part. Appeals that omit a clear description of program(s) for which contributions are sought will not meet this standard. A charity should also be able to substantiate that the timing and nature of its expenditures are in accordance with what is stated, expressed, or implied in the charity's solicitations.
Have an annual report available to all, on request, that includes: (a) the organization's mission statement, (b) a summary of the past year's program service accomplishments, (c) a roster of the officers and members of the board of directors, (d) financial information that includes (i) total income in the past fiscal year, (ii) expenses in the same program, fund raising and administrative categories as in the financial statements, and (iii) ending net assets.
Include on any charity websites that solicit contributions, the same information that is recommended for annual reports, as well as the mailing address of the charity and electronic access to its most recent IRS Form 990.
Address privacy concerns of donors by (a) providing in written appeals, at least annually, a means (e.g., such as a check off box) for both new and continuing donors to inform the charity if they do not want their name and address shared outside the organization, (b) providing a clear, prominent and easily accessible privacy policy on any of its websites that tells visitors (i) what information, if any, is being collected about them by the charity and how this information will be used, (ii) how to contact the charity to review personal information collected and request corrections, (iii) how to inform the charity (e.g., a check off box) that the visitor does not wish his/her personal information to be shared outside the organization, and (iv) what security measures the charity has in place to protect personal information.
Clearly disclose how the charity benefits from the sale of products or services (i.e., cause-related marketing) that state or imply that a charity will benefit from a consumer sale or transaction. Such promotions should disclose, at the point of solicitation: (a) the actual or anticipated portion of the purchase price that will benefit the charity (e.g., 5 cents will be contributed to abc charity for every xyz company product sold), (b) the duration of the campaign (e.g., the month of October), (c) any maximum or guaranteed minimum contribution amount (e.g., up to a maximum of $200,000).
Respond promptly to and act on complaints brought to its attention by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance and/or local Better Business Bureaus about fund raising practices, privacy policy violations and/or other issues.

A Homespun House in England
Heart Home
Of all the myriad gorgeous homes I've seen, I always prefer the ones that look laid-back and welcoming. The kinds of spaces that seem inhabited by friendly, cool owners whose friends hang out there constantly. The lovely home of Canadian blogger Elisa Rathje perfectly fits that description.
The 17th-century home, located in West Sussex, England, is full of simple, thoughtful details, from vertically-stored serving plates to vintage furniture she restored herself. Rathje rents the home with her family, and everything works around typical rental challenges. An avid DIYer, she writes of their life there at her popular blog Apple Turnover. Trust me, between her writing and her house, you may well find yourself daydreaming about a new life in England.
Read the article and see more pictures in Issue 4 of Heart Home.

What is a bed frame?
Bed frames are beds that provide a supportive platform to a mattress. The base of single and double size bed frame is usually made of metal or wood. Metal can either come in the form of a mesh, recommended for lighter people such as children, or for occasional use; or slats. Wooden bases can either be a solid platform, as in a theme bed for children, or again as slats. Traditional wooden slats are found on quality double bed frames, even those with a metal or leather-look frame, and the very best quality are sprung. Metal slats are found on the single sizes only of our metal bed frames.
Looking at slatted bases, the gap between them is important: you need the slats fairly close together to support a large, heavy mattress. Wide slats are also helpful in this. If the bed frame is described as sprung slatted, this is the very best, as it complements the way your mattress works.
what about storage?
Bed frames rarely have built-in storage, although they do provide lots of space beneath for storing things in your own boxes or bags. However, at Furniture Expressions, we have several double bed frames (currently only in wood, not metal or leather-look) with built-in drawers or with matching under-bed drawers as an optional extra. For a bedstead with built-in storage, Blackthorn has two useful end drawers. It comes in double and king size. Cherry (a white bed) has matching under-bed drawers as an optional extra which slide on castors beneath the bedstead.
widths and lengths
All our bed frames, wooden, metal and leather, come in various sizes, from single and standard double to superking. For taller people, the important thing is the length. This is always 190cm/6'3" for double bed frames, but increases to 200cm/6'6" for king size (5'/150cm). The expert thinking on beds as advocated by the National Bed Federation is to buy the biggest you possibly can. The more room you have to move around while you sleep, the more comfortable you will feel and the better quality sleep you will enjoy. You'll see the results of that next morning! This applies whether the bed is for a single sleeper or for two. For two people looking at a double bed frame, in any finish including metal, if they have the space and can afford a little extra they should consider a king size bed frame 5'/150cm wide. We also have several double bed frames in metal, leather-look and wood, available in an alternative width (4'/120cm size). These models are the Birch in metal, the Bark in leather-look and the Cherry and Pear in wood. There aren't very many bed frames of this size in the marketplace, and it is a very useful choice, both for a single sleeper who sensibly wants something a little bigger than a standard single but doesn't want to go to the expense of a standard double, or for a slimline couple who don't have space for standard double bed frame! Whatever your choice, you're sure to love the bed frames we present for your delight at Furniture Expressions.

Facebook Teen Exodus Should Keep Investors Away From Stock
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As report after report continues lamenting the fact Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is losing the younger generation, investors have turned content with the stock. Does a disconnect exist between older investors and the younger crowd? Or is it possible that Facebook can overcome the loss of the younger crowd unlike other social networks in the past such as MySpace?
The social network leader is now facing pressure from numerous sources that are attracting users especially in the younger generation. Teens are flocking to micro-blogging sites like Tumblr and Pheed and to image sharing sites like Instagram and Snapchat. Not to mention, users around the world are moving to messaging alternatives such as Kik and WhatsApp in the US to WeChat in China and KakaoTalk in Korea. Users as well are being pulled into social sites that connect them with similar interests such as StockTwits for stock traders and Pinterest for sharing fashion related items.
Another interesting dynamic is that the other CEOs of the social networking sites that went public at the same time as Facebook have already been replaced. Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) just announced the replacement of founder Mark Pincus and Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) has soared after replacing its founder several months back. The below chart shows how the lagging sites are quickly outperforming now that new management controls the company:
Analysts remain bullish
In early June, both Goldman Sachs and Piper Jaffray had bullish notes on the largest social network. In fact, Goldman has a $40 target for Facebook, a level 60% above current prices. To reach that price target, the stock would be valued at an incredibly high $95 billion. The average analyst only forecasts revenue of $6.7 billion this year giving an indication of the bullish gap between analysts and teens. If all of the reports are accurate about the network losing the most prized user base, then why do analysts remain so bullish on the stock?
The main point used by analysts is that the company can continue increasing monetization of existing traffic. While true, more ads could lead to a faster exodus of users. Stocks typically don't maintain lofty revenue multiples when the user base has peaked or is even in decline. Another interesting concern with the analyst group is that the typically older user base is still growing, suggesting that potentially the analysts are biased by what could be higher usage by their group of friends on the network.
Bottoming with new management
With the huge gains of Groupon over the last 8 months, one has to wonder if Zynga isn't the better investment now. This group of stocks set the IPO market on fire at the end of 2011, yet the public market investors have suffered nothing but pain from the group. Each stock has lost more than 28% over the time period that Facebook has been public.
The daily deals site fired its founder back at the end of February and the stock has seen nothing but positive returns since that event. Only July 1, Zynga hired Don Mattrick, president of the Xbox division at Microsoft, as CEO to allow Pincus to focus on product development. In both cases, the founder of the company wasn't ready for running a multibillion dollar public firm. Facebook appears to be the third such scenario and favors investors staying out of the stock until Zuckerburg is replaced.
Bottom line
In reality, the biggest issue with this set of stocks and especially Facebook is that the pre-IPO hype was impossible to live up to as a public firm where every corporate detail is scrutinized more. On top of that, the individual business models ran into turbulence whether due to a decline in social games hitting Zynga or an overly competitive market crashing the daily deals sector. Now Facebook is facing the dilemma of the prime user group fleeing the social network for the newest networks. Networks where their parents don't reside and the teens are free to interact with friends without parental scrutiny.
Investors shouldn't get the impression that Facebook will fold up tomorrow, but the key with any stock is the entry price for any position. Paying nearly 10 times current year revenue estimates can only be justified if teen users were still flocking to the site. A more reasonable 4 times revenue would only value the stock at around $25 billion and that's what should concern investors.

Lions are the only cats that live in groups, which are called prides. Prides are family units that may include up to three males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age. Young males eventually leave and establish their own prides by taking over a group headed by another male.
Only male lions boast manes, the impressive fringe of long hair that encircles their heads. Males defend the pride's territory, which may include some 100 square miles (259 square kilometers) of grasslands, scrub, or open woodlands. These intimidating animals mark the area with urine, roar menacingly to warn intruders, and chase off animals that encroach on their turf.
Female lions are the pride's primary hunters. They often work together to prey upon antelopes, zebras, wildebeest, and other large animals of the open grasslands. Many of these animals are faster than lions, so teamwork pays off.
After the hunt, the group effort often degenerates to squabbling over the sharing of the kill, with cubs at the bottom of the pecking order. Young lions do not help to hunt until they are about a year old. Lions will hunt alone if the opportunity presents itself, and they also steal kills from hyenas or wild dogs.
