"I can explain.
So…it was a time where we were on tour for a long time. You start to go a little crazy. Maybe perhaps making bad decisions.
The good decision: Me, Contessa and Maggot decided that we were going to make use of the running water in the hotel and do facials.
What happened: We got bored.
Then what happened was….: We looked out the window. Saw amazing historical, billion year old cemetery.
Did I happen to mention it had really high 10 foot gates around it and a huge chain lock?
We had one hour until we had to be back on the tour bus and moving to the next country. So we didn't have much time to think. We are always down for an adventure.
In decisions of "to adventure or not to adventure" - the answer is ALWAYS to adventure.
We started humming the theme to Mission Impossible.
I put on all black and put my hoodie on.
We raced out of the hotel room, humming Mission Impossible and sliding down the hallways as if we were going to encounter enemies at any moment that we might have to shoot.
We saw ourselves in the mirror waiting for the elevator and that's when I decided this moment needed to be captured.
"Only for us," I promised. "For memories." What I really meant was - "For every single person who has internet access. Just those few people."
That's why I had to get this pic approved by the girls before posting and why you've never seen it before.
I mean, we are all wearing no makeup, green facial masks, and we're pretending we're secret spy gangsters in a hotel lobby in Poland.
This is the part where you click "Like".
So we race through the lobby, hiding behind couches, tables, lamps, sliding around on our knees. Occasionally yelling "GO - GO - GO!!!!!!" for no reason.
And there we are. In front of the cemetery. Maggot and Contessa heave me over the wall and then they climb up and over.
We are now officially trespassing.
It was beautiful. And quiet. We wandered around just looking at the old tombs and graves. We heard something and saw a creature moving nearby one of the graves. We all got really still. And there it was….a tiny mole. I've never seen one in my life. So we all stood there. Barely breathing. Three girls in green face masks, trespassing in the Polish cemetery, trying not to make a move so the mole will not be scared off.
The little mole walked right towards us. A magic old creature coming to welcome us to the cemetery.
And that's when the police sirens went off, screaming through the silence of the night.
In mere seconds, Maggot and Contessa were hurling themselves over the 10 foot cemetery gates and were on the other side, waiting for me.
Did I mention they have years of circus training and amazing upper body strength?
…….and I on the other hand…… do not.
So here I am. On the wrong side of the cemetery gates. Trying to pull myself over the gate. Failing miserably. I'm trespassing. The police siren is going off and I'm trying to imagine how I'm going to deal with being in a Polish prison.
"COME ON! You can do it!"
I thought about prison again and threw my body at the wall with as much force as I could muster.
I somehow got my left leg up on the gate and managed very clumsily to yank sideways, the rest of my body over the gate and drop to the side.
And then the three of us turned around to make a run for the hotel.
And there was a man standing there with a gigantic dog. Looking at us with his eyes wide. Looking at three green faced witchy girls escaping from the cemetery five minutes until midnight (which was our bus call).
We stood staring at him. He stared at us. His dog stared at us. None of us moved for about two full minutes.
And then we took off again. Me, covered in bruises just forming under my skin from my extremely graceful tango with the wall, once again following behind Contessa and Maggot running towards the hotel.
We got to the hotel and collapsed in the elevator. Laughing.
Then we grabbed our stuff, washed off the masks, and raced to the bus before it left us behind.
We made our bus call AND didn't get arrested. Not to mention we had beautiful skin from the facial masks afterward.
It was an awesome night.
Hope you enjoyed the story and the photographic evidence. xoxoxo"

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Review (PS3)
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo is, as of now, the most renowned Street Fighter ever produced. Times are changing, it seems, as Capcom released Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix for Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. We have a new king in town...at least until we can see the upcoming Street Fighter IV.
However, the question arises: why bother to buy this new version when you've already purchased Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting on either console? The graphics, design, updates...what could possibly warrant another $15 purchase of a game, albeit one of the most famous and popular games ever released, that you may already have?
Several reasons. First, everything's been reworked. SSF2HDR was essentially made from scratch by a crack team of artists, programmers, and championed gamers well versed in the ways of Street Fighter. Everything looks and feels new, not because it's been polished, but because it is new.
|With everything hand-drawn in full high-def glory, every hit is worth watching over and over again.
|No matter what format you play the game in, it's the best damn Street Fighter we've played...so far.
That's not to say it isn't the same game, because it is. SSF2HDR is the quintessential Street Fighter 2, with all the characters we care to see, all the moves we remember, and all the crap taken out. No more glitches or cheap tricks, no more useless special attacks, and no more 8-bit wonky design. This is the real deal, and we're loving every second of it.
However, Hyper Fighting is also a well made game, even if it still contains many of the issues that the original had. There is one thing SSF2HDR has over it and every other console Street Fighter game or port: online play works tremendously well. Before, jumping on a game might have left players in lag-filled rooms with what seems like rampant cheating, but in fact is just poor online play. No more, as Remix plays online excellently, perhaps even better than full fledged 360 and PS3 titles.
With the exception of infrequent frame-rate drops, Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix is the best Street Fighter we've ever played thus far. And we'll keep playing it because yes, it is that good, and yes, it is absolutely worth it.

Drinking Games for Kids!
Christine Bartsch: Can't keep your kid hydrated or get your toddler to drink their milk? It's time to use some college knowledge and get them guzzling like they're at a frat party.
The Classic Game: TV/Movie Drinking Games -- You know them, you've played them. Whether you take a drink for each missed step on "Dancing with the Stars" or toast each time a Real Housewife bares her claws, just flick on your TV and start sipping!
Kid Friendly Version -- Can't get junior to drink their milk at lunch or take a bite of their P.B. and J? Just modify the classic to their favorite program. They'll be taking a gulp each time Dora uses backpack in no time!
The Classic Game: Beer Pong -- Fill Plastic cups with beer, rack them up in billiard ball formation and start tossing ping-pong balls at them. Chug whichever beer your ball lands in until all the cups are empty.
Kid Friendly Version -- Fill those cups with juice and the same rules apply. Plus your kiddie will get some hand/eye coordination practice in too!
The Classic Game: Sink the Ship -- Get yourself a pitcher of beer and float a shot glass in it. Take turns pouring beer into the shot glass without overflowing it. Whoever sinks the glass slams the pitcher.
Kid Friendly Version -- Substitute shot glasses for tiny Tupperware containers and water for beer and you've got a great way to keep your kids hydrated on a warm day. Instead of having the sinker drink the pitcher, have them guzzle the rest of the water in their glass instead.
Don't worry about turning your kids into mini-lushes, without the alcohol, these games are no different than our parents using "open the hanger, here comes the airplane!" to get us to eat our dinner.
Momlogic wants to know -- what have you done to get your kids to drink their milk?

I Want My Kid to Be on 'American Idol'
Parenting the President
I'm going to have to say that this is pathetic! Come on, if you can't find other games and activities for your kids to do, then you must not be a good parent. This is something I would NEVER have my child do, all drinking games are aimed at alcohol. The Beer Pong game for kids is disgusting. Momlogic what is wrong with you? I swear, I don't have a clue as to why you would think it's ok to post crap on here.
I'm thinking ICK must have just skimmed over the material and straight to the comments.
While my children have never been the type to need a push to drink their milk, making a game of it would serve to help hydrate the little ones. Some parents may not know all the drinking games and these non-alcholic versions may just serve to inspire.
And I know I'm not momlogic.. but I'm going to reply to the last comment of ICK's anyway. "I swear, I don't have a clue as to why you would think it's ok to post crap on here" Umm… cause it's her website. Like it our lump it as my mom always said.
ick—-Oh please! give me a break! if it wasn't already a beer game, you wouldn't have a problem with it. change the name, forget that it's a game that people like to play using beer, use a different kind of drink. and you'll never know the difference.
hey i know—what if it's wine pong? or milk pong? or oj pong? or kool-aide pong? or margarita pong? or tequilla pong?
i could go on and on and on.
its a great idea momlogic. kudos for thinking outside the box.
I'm with lj and texas mom. Seriously, relax a little will you ICK. The way to make sure your kids make good decisions in life and keep them on the right track it to talk to them, know who there friends are, where they're going, just to name a few, playing a game to keep them hydrated in the summer is not going to make them binge drinkers. I think this is a great idea momlogic.
satire, am i right?
The fact that it is a drinking game matters. Get them used to something and it encourages the behavior. Using drinking games without alcohol on your children is a stupid idea. Would you let your child play with candy cigarettes as well?
Oh. My. God. I am a drug/alcohol treatment counselor in a residential treatment program for 13-17 year old girls. My jaw just about hit the floor when I read this article. Are you kidding me?!?! This is EXACTLY the kind of mixed message that is almost certain to see your child playing the "adult" version of these games by high school! You can't glorify and normalize behavior that is clearly related to a culture of alcohol abuse and then turn around a few years later and tell your children that the behavior they remember being taught as a kid is no longer acceptable.
Every day I see young teens (the majority of our clients are 14-16)whose lives have fallen to pieces because of alcohol. And our clients are no "experimental kids" - most of them have already had major legal troubles and/or been hospitalized due to drug or alcohol overdose. I PROMISE you - if you teach your kids drinking games as toddlers, they will be teaching those games to their friends by high school.
oh everyone shut the hell up. no one here is suggesting that children should ever indulge in alcoholic beverages. and YES, tom, I would let my children play with candy cigarettes. they're sticks of sugar. let me take one stab in the dark and say ALL of your children play at least one violent video game or watch ANY sort of television? does that mean you're encouraging the habit of killing people and smoking cigarettes and cursing and wearing revealing clothing? look at your little hannah montana, she looks like a sixteen year old harlequin. take the steel rods out of your assholes and lighten up.
and a word to the wise, Cyndi, they're gonna be playing these games by 15 with beer whether or not they did it with milk as a toddler.

Photo of the Heathered Black Back on Track LS top.
Back On Track skirt in Coal and Pig Pink. This version of the skirt reminds me a little of a fancy cupcake.
The ultimate blog for Lululemon Athletica fans. Photos, reviews, and news of the latest lulu.
I see that the distance pullovers have gray on the black... So I think the black Stay on Course pullover have gray on it too. GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr
I got this skirt today in Paris Pink and it is WAY to much! I shamelessly run in pink, but this skirt looks like a tutu. It's goin back!
I WANT THAT SKIRT!!--It reminds me of the run resolution skirt that didn't come to the US last year in black/pink
My run resolution skirt from last year is adorable, but in my opinion - as much ruffle as any grown woman should wear. This one really pushes the boundary too far. Should be on the ivviva site only.
Is the Back on Track LS made of RuLu?

This is quite an odd one.
Everyone who suggested you sing...got a suprise. This is so bad. The singing, gollies. Especially when you go to the faster parts. Nonetheless, a good voice acting. "Beat up some thugs, say no to drugs" is by far the funniest singing part. But why not do it, once at least, right?

Fire Immelt!!!!
Interesting. Isn't it the market that determines the yield it demands for shares? You can cut the dividend because it is paying 10% and the market will correct until it is 10% again. So being too generous in yield is a lousy reason to cut the dividend. . . you might as well state the other obvious reason – that you need the cash.
Fire the analyst.
the rating agencies are about as accurate as "america's next psychic"
the only triple A i'm sure of is the one on my duracell batteries.
Fire Immelt.
An internal GE Spotlight article dated 4/19/2002 (from Business Week Magazine)titled "The Education of Jeff Immelt" spun the then "crisis", the quarterly earnings. (Sound familiar?)
To quote the excerpt: ..he (Jeff)said:"It would be different if the stock price went down because we didn't meet expectations. Shit. I hate it when the stock goes down. The stock is my job."….
Stock price that day: $33.75 down $.05.
Jeff, if the stock price is your job… Then you should be FIRED!!
Today's price: $11.10 up $.25.
From someone who once believed the GE's Smoke and Mirrors.
I posted earlier a quote of Jeff's. Where is it?
Abbreviated Quote: He said in April 2002: …."The stock is my job."….
If that is the case.
He Flunked!
Wished you posted my whole text.
Enough with GE's Smoke and Mirrors.
To North of Forty at 1:43 pm, I have been posting here off and on for over 3 years and have posted many times how bad (*IT) is at GE, I burned the bridge over this "Yellow Brick Road" at $42.12 and haven't looked back! Their total destruction started to un-ravel at the last "Out of Control split at $150″ (3 for 1) and change for "Jack in the Box's) going away Party in 2001. Im-Melt you Common Share Holder hasn't got a clue what he's doing, he has listened to his Sick SSigma Staff for so long now going on 8 years that he lost all insights what this once great company was founded on!
The Last guy at GE that had all his ducks in a row was none other than G. Neunman, his focus was on people and products… Im-Melt's & Jack in the Box's focus has always been on "Show me the Money", not even the Government can bail this twisted swine out of the Ruby Red Liped Finicial Abyss! Un-less there is of course another World War!
"In the next decade… you won't be with GE in the next… 7 months… come September 2009… you sir will be gone with the "Wind Energy" in the wind mills of you mindless rambling of Bla, Bla, Bla! What an idiot… and he's the GE CEO… he couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag full of $Muck Money!
Everyone in the company knows that Mr. Immelt only cares about one thing… Himself and his friends. There is NOTHING honest about this guy… and now the market is aware of his disingenuous & incompetent behavior… His salary should be capped as he is clearly not worth $20 million per year. If Mr. Immelt says the dividend is solid, assume is not, If Mr. Immelt says 10% earnings growth is in the bag, assume he is full of it…

Let's face it: for herself
Film 73 - Breaking Dawn Pt 2 (nov 19)
Just like the other, what in the world happened in this? It was interesting to add new characters. Bella looked beautiful (remember I watch these for Kristen)
Reneesme(?) looked freaky as a kid. The best scenes were when Bella got mad at Jacob and when Bella arm wrestled with Emmett.
The surprise ending? I was all 'wow they are really changing everything' (SPOILER ALERT) but then it's all a cop-out of course. Have to stay true to the book and all that although I wish the surprise ending had been the permanent ending because then it would've made the movie ten times better.
The effects are AWFUL as always. The most terrible effects are for those terrible wolves.

Interesting side note that most people miss is that Popeye is actually a mini land of Sweet Haven with it's own restaurant(albeit normally closed) Wimpy's and a children's play area along with a nicely themed walkway along the lagoon.
Even the best water ride in the world can't beat potter today
Would have been curious to see Popeye against Splash, curious if that was almost a matchup Mr. Niles
I haven't ridden Pooh, and I love Kilimanjaro. However, Pooh consistently gets rave reviews not only for a unique exterior and an incredibly detailed queue, but for the immersive theme and sophisticated ride system. Both rides take you to another world with impressive visuals, but Pooh has incorperated scenes from a sotry that never fails to impress. Kilimanjaro lacks the gaurunteed joy ride that Pooh offers. The time of day, the driver, and the whims of the animals can all affect the quality of the ride. Pooh is different in a good way each ride. I'd much rather ride Pooh, and I hope you would too.
But looks like FJ is going to go far in this
1. Which do I prefer, a high-tech dark ride or an average rapids ride?
2. Which property am I more interested in, Harry Potter or Popeye?
3. If I could only ride one or the other, which would I choose?
Harry Potter wins all three, so that's my vote. Given the incredible reception that attraction has, I'd be surprised if anything other than Journey to the Center of the Earth is able to dethrone it (although I personally think Harry Potter looks ever so slightly better than Journey).

Diet Book For Kids
A Diet Book For Kids: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
Paul M. Kramer thinks so. The author of several self-published books about tough issues kids face (including Bullies Beware! and Divorce Stinks!) isn't set to release his latest title until October, but it's already generating criticism. Maggie Goes on a Diet ($11) is intended to teach tots (ages 4-8) about the importance of eating a healthy diet by telling the rhyming story of pudgy Maggie who goes on a diet in order to become the star of the soccer team. According to the publisher, "Maggie has so much potential that has been hiding under her extra weight."
But is the message really the importance of a healthy diet or that being slim guarantees success? If that is the message, is it one that we should be teaching young girls?

You know what back to school means? It means fall colors, tall boots, chunky sweaters, steaming lattes, and a whole lot more "me" time - even if I do plan to spend it working.
This is the first year I will have both kids in school {even if it's just a few hours a week}, and quite honestly I'm a bit teary eyed about it. But, I know it's so good for both kids to be with kids their own age and learn with their peers that it's hard to be too sad about it. For that reason, I'm saying TGIBTS {Thank Goodness It's Back to School}. One of the things I'm most excited about is the fact that I get to go school shopping. I'm using back to school shopping as a great motivator for purging the old so I can make room for all their new must-haves, and I'm loving it. Anything with holes or worn spots is gone, anything that is outgrown or doesn't fit quite right is donated, and anything that just isn't getting the love that it should is passed down to someone who can truly appreciate it. In doing that, I have started from the top drawer and am working my way down. That means all those well worn, mismatched, and outgrown socks and undergarments are being purged first and I'm finding that we desperately need to restock before the new school year. Thank goodness Fruit of the Loom has us covered!

Nashua train derailment closes Bridge Street crossing
Sgt. William Dillon of Nashua police said that while the contents of the train are unknown, he would have been informed if there was anything hazardous. He added railroad officials have informed him that the derailment occurred due to a mechanical issue.
While Dillon said there is no current fear the trestle could collapse due to the damage and pressure from the derailed train car, he called the situation a "potential hazard."
The train accident, which was first called in at 7:14 p.m., has forced the closure of the rail crossing at Bridge St., with eight cars derailed behind it and two cars derailed in front of it. Dillon said he could not give a firm estimate as to when the road would reopen.
The fire department is currently responding to the scene, which already has police and railroad officials on site.
Despite multiple cars derailing, Dillon said officers on the scene have informed him that all the train cars are still upright and that there is no hope of repairing the train on-site.
Police did not know who the owner or operator of the train is.

text: "Emperor worship miraculously persists among a large part of the population, thanks to the media. It constantly reports the "private" whereabouts of members of the royal family. By ceaselessly watching them—how they grow up, go to school, vacation; get engaged and married; perform in public; make speeches of encouragement, sympathy, and mourning—the residents of the archipelago are supposed to affirm their Japanese identity. This is an imposed education in how to be a proper citizen, by way of disseminating amiable spectacles and narratives about the royal family—spectacles that the family members themselves are made to act out."

The Boston Marathon is a high-profile event with a global feel. It is no surprise it would be attractive to a terrorist with an agenda, or no agenda at all. The world was watching, and someone wanted to put on a terrifying show. That President Obama did not say the word "terror" or "terrorism" in his initial statement is of little import. It happened: A name is just a name.
I happened to be just a few miles away when the explosions occurred, preparing to teach a class with the top leadership from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. They had just left the Marathon, but then, of course, we all turned around after hearing the news. Only an hour after the explosions, the scene was calm beyond any expectations. Runners were walking away from the finish line, which was now a crime scene. The police smartly pushed all the spectators out of the area, further and further from the focal point, in a controlled evacuation. The medical tent, usually reserved for those who were in pain from running, was quickly being turned into a place to help those who were injured by explosions.

St Anna's Episcopal Church in Treme was vandalized this morning. Someone spread their message of hate both in side and out.
Police are now looking for the person who cut the fingers off an angel statue. It is part of the memorial to murder victims in New Orleans. Father Bill Terry has been known to track the victims of violence, and now he and his church has become victims of hate.
The vandal also desecrated several holy cards that were inside the church, drawing symbols police call sadistic.
Father Terry plans to replace the statue once enough funds are available. He was currently raising money to add the names of the murder victims from 2009 and 2010 to the memorial.
The hate crime happened sometime between 8 and 10 this morning.

The inspection was carried out by one Additional Inspector.
Description of the school
Avondale is larger than most primary schools. It is a popular school that serves a mixed socio-economic community close to the centre of Darwen. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is above average. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The percentage whose first language is not believed to be English is below average, as is the proportion with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. A smaller proportion than found nationally has statements of special educational need. Children's development on entry to the Reception year is as expected for their age except in language and communication where boys' attainment is slightly below average.
|Grade 1
|Grade 2
|Grade 3
|Grade 4
Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
Avondale is a good school. Pupils are proud of their achievements, as individuals and as members of the whole community. Parents praised the school in their responses to the questionnaire. 'I think Avondale is a fantastic school' was typical of the sentiments expressed. Pupils say that they enjoy their work and the many other activities, which is the impression gained from a visit to the school. This is largely due to good, energetic and proactive leadership that is backed up by a dedicated and enthusiastic team of teaching and non-teaching staff.
On entry, children settle quickly into routines and become familiar with what is expected of them. Plentiful opportunities are provided for children to develop independence. By the end of the Reception year, most children reach the expected levels of development in all areas of learning; some exceed them. Pupils make good progress throughout the school and attain above average standards overall by the time they are eleven. Pupils achieve well. Girls achieve better than boys, particularly in writing. The school is tackling this head-on through planning tasks in writing that emanate from discussion based on topics and resources that stimulate boys' enthusiasm; for example, cars, sport and technology.
The school caters well for pupils' personal development; it safeguards pupils properly through its policies and procedures and encourages healthy habits. Pupils behave well and are very considerate of others. By the time they reach Year 6, they play a significant part in helping the school to run smoothly. Pupils are nurtured to achieve their personal goals, not only in their academic work but in the development of lifelong skills and service to the community. This is demonstrated, for example, in pupils' willingness to give of their own time for public performances in music and dance or to take part in sporting events. These activities, and others, contribute well to pupils' all-round spiritual and personal development. Pupils are not as aware as they should be however of lifestyles in other cultures in British society.
Pupils achieve well because teaching is consistently good throughout the school. Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities achieve equally well, as do pupils who may be experiencing other difficulties in their lives. They receive sensitive support from a teacher experienced in dealing with such needs. Teachers respond quickly when the assessment of pupils' day-to-day work indicates that extra help is required. However, information from whole-school assessment procedures is not yet used systematically to trigger support quickly enough when individual pupils are found not to be making the expected progress.
Pupils' progress towards becoming good citizens is at the heart of the school's work. There is good capacity for further improvement based on the issues in the school development plan. The school provides good value for money.
What the school should do to improve further
- Raise standards in boys' writing.
- Make provision to raise pupils' understanding of other cultures in British society.
- Use information from whole-school assessment procedures systematically to provide early intervention for pupils who are not making the expected progress.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Pupils achieve well throughout the school to reach at least above average standards by the time they are eleven. Children's mathematical development on entry to the Reception year is as expected for their age. Language and communication skills are not as well developed, particularly for the boys. Children make good progress in the Foundation Stage and most reach the early learning goals in all areas of learning; some children exceed them. Pupils continue to make expected progress in Key Stage 1. By the time they are seven, standards in reading are above average. Standards are average in mathematics and writing; girls achieve better than boys, particularly in writing. These standards are reflected in pupils' end of key stage assessments in Year 2. Improving boys' writing is highlighted as a priority in the teaching in all subjects. Information from assessment procedures indicates that the gap between girls' and boys' achievement is narrowing.
Standards are above average overall in English, mathematics and science by the end of Key Stage 2. Pupils achieved the realistic but challenging targets set in 2006. The results in national tests taken in Year 6 have been significantly above average in recent years. They dipped slightly in science in 2006 because not as many pupils as expected reached the higher level (Level 5). Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and those whose first language is not English make as good progress as other pupils.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils' personal development is good, as is their spiritual, moral and social development. Pupils are not as well informed as they need to be, however, about life in other cultures within British society. Pupils behave well and have good attitudes that permeate and benefit their learning. They say that they enjoy school and they clearly have trust in it to help them achieve as well as they can. This is demonstrated by their good attendance and punctuality, and the absence of exclusions. Pupils understand the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles and, when asked, can describe what they are doing to practise them. Pupils are developing into well-rounded young citizens. They are growing in maturity and self-confidence, attributes that are evident in older pupils' acceptance of responsibility and tenacity in fulfilling their duties. Pupils say that they feel safe in school. Allegations of bullying are few; pupils feel that these are dealt with effectively if they occur. They know where to seek help if needed and value the opportunity to use the 'worry box' if they want to voice concerns anonymously.
Pupils' ability to transfer skills in literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology to other subjects is good preparation for the future. Boys and girls participate enthusiastically in practical activities and in those that open up opportunities for lively debate; for example, in the school council.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
Teaching and learning are consistently good throughout the school. This is a significant factor in pupils' steady progress from the time they join the school. Teachers have high expectations; they plan well and motivate pupils to become independent learners. The introduction this year of 'talking partners' has proved very effective in encouraging pupils to explore ideas and reason things out for themselves. The careful choice of relevant material to stimulate discussion prior to writing is bringing about an improvement in the quality and accuracy of pupils' recording skills, particularly for the boys. Examples of skilful questioning were seen during the inspection; teachers used open-ended questions that provided scope for the extension of discussion and allowed them to build on what pupils did, or did not, know. Information from marking and assessment in class is used well to target and support pupils in their day-to-day work. Data from whole-school assessment procedures is not used systematically to instigate intervention quickly enough when, for any reason, individuals or groups of pupils are found not to be making the expected progress. Pupils with identified learning difficulties and/or disabilities are well taught in small groups according to their specific, individual needs.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 2
The curriculum meets pupils' needs well and satisfies statutory requirements. The school is innovative and far-sighted in that planning takes account of differences in pupils' learning, such as the boys' writing, and the need to provide a wide variety of challenging activities to satisfy pupils' wide-ranging interests. This it does well; for example, through the variety of lunchtime and after-school activities. All staff give generously of their time to engage pupils' enthusiasm; in music and dance, for example, pupils receive a high level of praise for their public performances at various venues. Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, and those experiencing other difficulties, gain pleasure from joining in these activities. The school identifies and provides well in the classroom and beyond for pupils who are gifted and talented; for example, through the opportunity to work on an engineering project.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
The quality of care, guidance and support is good. High priority is given to safeguarding pupils and statutory procedures are in place well known by all staff. Links with outside agencies and other providers are very good; they support not only pupils, but families and carers. Child protection procedures and risk assessments are carried out responsibly. Pupils receive good guidance on how to improve their work and reach the targets set. Achievement is underpinned by good support systems and parents' involvement in their children's learning. Added to this is the strong back-up from the 'Parent, Teacher and Friends Association' (PTFA) for school and community events, which is highly valued by all the staff. Planned intervention to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of pupils on the borderline of National Curriculum levels appropriate to their age is effective in raising their attainment.
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
Leadership, management and governance are good. The headteacher's leadership is highly respected by pupils, staff and parents. It is progressively driving the school forward to embrace new initiatives at a realistic pace. The leadership team and middle managers work well together in supporting all aspects of the school's work. Good communication and consultation with the staff leads to accurate self-evaluation and decisive action. Teachers and non-teaching staff are aware of the school's priorities and know exactly what needs to be done to achieve them. They are receptive to training and professional development and willingly trial suggestions at the earliest opportunity. Improvement since the previous inspection is good; the school tackles issues swiftly and constructively as and when they arise. Governors have a good understanding of how well the school is performing and what could be improved. They ensure that finances are spent prudently, reflecting the school's most immediate needs.

In the dark of late December, while some Americans are wracked with guilt over holiday overindulgence, others make plans for "cleanses" — the trendy regimens that promise to wash impurities out the body with specially formulated liquids such as raw fruit-and-vegetable juices. As a Globe story Monday noted, juice companies are rushing in to cater to people who are willing to consume nothing else for days but lack the tools or the time to prepare it at home. A three-day juice cleanse can be had for about $200.
Medical and diet experts dispute the idea that a juice cleanse is necessary or helpful in getting rid of impurities; as a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics puts it, "Even if you ate nothing but Big Macs all day . . . your body is going to figure out how to cleanse your blood." Still, it's harder to criticize the deeper psychological motive: the belief that much of what we consume is probably unhealthy, and that it's worth enduring some discomfort — in this case, hunger pains — to get rid of it.

Hyundai Crossover SUV Debuts
In an unusual move, Hyundai brought three "study" families to the North American International Auto Show as it debuted its 2007 Veracruz crossover sport-utility vehicle.
The families―two with young children―came on stage at Hyundai's press conference to stand in front of the 5-door, V6-powered Veracruz, which goes on sale in showrooms in March 2007. The group gave Hyundai officials insight into consumer perceptions of the company's new vehicle, which is the first to come standard with three rows of seats to accommodate seven people and is luxuriously appointed.
Though final Veracruz pricing wasn't announced, the well-equipped vehicle will be positioned as an alternative to luxury crossover SUVs and will start at less than $30,000, said John Krafcik, vice president of development and strategic planning at Hyundai Motor America.
"We want luxury and performance to be attainable in a crossover," he said, noting that the Veracruz will be available with many upscale features, such as dual front-seat climate control, rear-seat entertainment, brushed aluminum interior accents and premium, 605-watt Infinity audio system. The Veracruz on display in Detroit, for example, had optional leather seat trim that was soft to the touch and set off by contrast stitching like you'd expect from a luxury car brand.
The Veracruz puts Hyundai in new territory as the company's SUV with the highest starting price. The other Hyundai SUVs―the 2007 Tucson and Santa Fe―have starting manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $16,895 and $21,045, respectively.
More Room and More Power
The Veracruz is some 6 inches longer, overall, and 2.2 inches wider than the Santa Fe, which is Hyundai's current largest SUV. As a result, passenger room in the Veracruz is slightly roomier than that in the Santa Fe. Headroom and legroom for people sitting in the third row of the Veracruz, for example, is 1.3 inches and 0.2 inch more, respectively, than in the Santa Fe. Maximum cargo space in the Veracruz is 86.8 cubic feet compared with 78.2 cubic feet in the Santa Fe.
Power for the Veracruz comes from a 260-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 that produces 257 lb-ft of torque. This is more powerful than the 242-horsepower, 2.7-liter V6 that's in Hyundai's Santa Fe SUV.
The Santa Fe is offered with a choice of 5- or 7-passenger seating, but Krafcik said only about 30 percent of Santa Fes are sold with third rows.
He added that Hyundai is waiting to see how Veracruz sales go and isn't announcing an expected U.S. sales volume. The vehicle also is sold in Hyundai's home country of South Korea.

Struggling to get rid of that spare tyre? We've consulted the experts to find out how to banish that beer belly for good.
There are plenty of reasons many men find themselves carrying excess 'timber' around their middle. The good news is there are also numerous ways to reduce it. We asked a team of health experts to explain 10 ways a man can banish his beer belly forever.
It's not just about the booze
First things first, if you're carrying a few spare tyres, your love of a cold beer is unlikely to be the only cause.
"Alcohol is not the main contributor to developing a beer belly people get beer bellies due to a number of lifestyle factors that are interconnected," points out sports psychologist and personal trainer Lisa Foley.
"Saturated fat is obviously a contributor but sugar and carbs also have a major role in storing fat and building the beer belly. When we eat food that's high in sugar and carbohydrates we release the hormone insulin. Insulin's job is to store the excess blood sugar, and its favourite place to store blood sugar is in our fat cells."
Calorie counting
However, as beer lovers it's all too easy to forget just how many calories a beer can contain.
"The higher the alcoholic content, the more calories the drink has," points out personal trainer and nutritionist Kevin Witham. "Most beer will have around 150-200 calories if you buy a pint."
Additionally, alcohol is an appetite-stimulant, so it's not just the calories in your pint that can lead to weight gain, but that fat-laden kebab or burger you'll wolf down after closing time.
The processed problem
Processed food is just one example of a food item that can lead to what we refer to as a beer belly.
"Try and cut out as much processed food as possible," suggests personal trainer Lee Siemaszko. "Eat fresh produce, try a variety of fruit and veg, and eat organic food where possible. Change your diet to one that is high in protein, but lower in carbs, have lean cuts of meat, chicken, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds, cut down on pasta, rice, potatoes and try to cut down on bread.
"Drink lots of water: cut down on alcohol, tea and coffee, with the odd cup of green tea. This will help clear your body of toxins, hydrate you, and speed up your metabolism."
Tummy trouble
It's common knowledge that having a beer belly can spell disaster for heart health.
"The problem with belly fat is that it is active," explains Lee Siemaszko. "It works like a separate organ, releasing substances that are harmful to your body. Abdominal fat bears the blame for many heart-related health problems because the fat sits within striking distance of your heart, liver and other organs, pressing on them, feeding them poisons and messing with their daily function."
Exercise alone is not enough
The bad news? While certain exercises can help tone stomach muscles, no amount of squats or crunches will banish your beer belly if you don't change your diet.
"You cannot spot reduce fat by targeting that area with specific exercises like crunches," warns Kevin Witham. "This is because the body breaks down fat where it wants to and then sends it to the liver to be used. However, you can certainly tone specific muscles with exercises."
Diet vs exercise
In other words, no matter how much exercise you do, if you don't change your diet, you'll struggle to change your body shape.
"I'd say it's about 20% exercise and 80% diet," reveals personal trainer Matthew Knights. "In trained individuals those exercising consistently for years exercise plays a bigger role in retaining leanness but it's still not great. We didn't evolve to cope with high calorie modern diets and they're just not balanced by the odd few hours of exercise. If the odds of exercise helping were better I'd be a millionaire!"
Walk it off
So, once you've got the diet sorted, what are the types of exercise that can make a difference?
"Walking is a great one," says Matthew Knights. "It won't get you thin no exercise alone will but it can help you with the common conditions associated with a beer belly such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
"Weight training can combat the loss of muscle and reverse the slowing of the base metabolic rate, although this is only suitable for those without other coronary risk factors and won't get rid of a beer belly without major dietary changes."
Reduce stress
Are you worried about that impending deadline or important presentation? Take a chill pill research suggests that those suffering from stress are more likely to carry fat around the abdomen.
"There's evidence that high levels of cortisol can encourage the body to store fat around the middle," says nutritional therapist Angela Walker. "Cortisol is part of the body's response to stress, so working on managing stress can help to reduce the tendency to carry weight in this area."
The age issue
Unfortunately, shifting that spare tyre becomes harder as we get older.
"Men are most likely to develop what we know as a beer belly from mid-30s onwards," reveals Matthew Knights. "That's because after this age your metabolism slows due to sarcopenia (loss of muscle tissue with age) if you're not training your muscles correctly. So as you lose muscle you burn fewer calories but you're still putting the same amount of calories in, and the excess must go somewhere so it's stored as fat."
Chubby child?
Were you skinny or chubby as a child? You'll be surprised to hear that those who were overweight as children are less likely to develop what we refer to as a beer belly.
"We know that the number of fat cells under the skin is determined in childhood if you were a lean child then you didn't grow many under the skin fat cells," explains Matthew Knights. "Lean children who then gain fat in adult life don't therefore have much fat storage capacity under the skin. So when the fat cells beneath the skin become full, the excess body fat 'spills over' into the abdomen around the organs. It's those who were lean children who you'll see with the extreme apple (beer belly) shape."

It's getting hot, hot, hot! Well, that's what a Japanese woman said about her 1st generation iPod nano as it burst into flames while she was charging it, severely burning her hand. The Japanese court ordered Apple Japan to pay restitution to the victim in the sum of $7,400 for pain and suffering and medical costs.
With Apple's deep pockets, $7,400 seems like a very modest amount for a burnt hand. However, on Apple's behalf, they recalled the product back in 2009 and offered a free replacement plan for those 1st generation iPod nano holders. If you are still holding-on to your 1st gen, it might be a good idea to trade it in for a replacement. Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure my mom still has one. I better let her know!
Even though the iPod nano and other Apple products are prone to overheating, catching fire is a rare result.Unfortunately, it does happen, for this is not the first time an Apple device burst into flames. Back in December a man's iPhone 4 started emitting smoke accompanied by a red glow while on an Australian Airline. On a side note, the last thing a person wants to see on a plane is dense smoke coming from the man in the seat in front of them! Personally, I think that man was lucky that all that was damaged was his phone.
So the moral of the story is to return that iPod 1st gen of yours and be careful with all of your other Apple devices.

Anyone just starting to get a handle on search marketing faces a bewildering array of books, web sites, discussion forums and other resources that all promise wonderful things. Some of these sources are valuable and useful; others, sadly, are created by people who either don't know what they're talking about or worse, are intent on peddling the online equivalent of snake oil and making a buck off the gullible and clueless.
Fortunately, there are good sources of information available (apart from SEW, of course :-). Today's SearchDay article, Search Marketing in a Box, reviews The Search Engine Marketing Kit by Dan Thies. Dan is a regular speaker at Search Engine Strategies, and his book is a clear, comprehensive guide to both search engine optimization and paid search programs. Best of all, the book is completely lacking in any of the foofaraw that you find in so many other so-called search marketing "resources."

Okay, I've gone over every single connection multiple times and it's not any shorting, but it has to be because that's the only answer.
The only other thing I can think of is that the program on there is wrong or the bootloader is bad. The LED on pin 13 never lights up when I plug it in and the TX and rx pins both light up, but then there is no transmission during the upload process, the RX led just blinks 3 or 4 times (it changes).
Also, if I plug in another power source, the computer won't detect the arduino, although I have done this before for serial monitoring.
This makes absolutely no sense anymore and it's starting to bother me.
My other arduino nano works perfectly fine.
