I just had the nicest dream. I read how to love last night and it influenced it. We were having youth group at my house and we went for a walk to the top of the hill and on the way down Danny dropped a note addressed to him from a girl Chloe. I gave it back to him and he said it's not what it looks like, I would never (try to replicate what we had) and I said no it's cool I understand and he said "it was so hard to… I could still get you back if I wanted to" I said "but I don't want you to" " I could get you back if I wanted to, but I don't" and we talked and goofed around in my house and then we went to the kitchen and Andy called and I picked it up and started talking in a French accent and then I realized it was his mom. Then we walked out to Jon's car and I don't remember what we were talking about and then I realize Charlie is in the backseat. Danny and Alison look at him for the first time and we wave as they leave. Then I go inside and plan to give my baby boy a bath.
It was a nice dream because I finally got to talk to Danny. We haven't talked since we broke up and that was a year ago. I don't wanna get back together but I just wish we had fucking discussed things. He didn't even try! He said "it was fun while it lasted" and hung up. Like wtf. He didn't even try to protest. That's why I'm mad. He proved to me that I made the right decision. And even though he looked like a good boyfriend. I will never forget the little annoying things. Never.
It also was a good dream because I had Charlie. I want a baby so fucking bad and I was just so happy to have Charlie. I didn't even mind that I'm 16. I just want to be a momma so bad.
I haven't posted since January so I suck at diaries. But since (lol SK is trying to shake Doritos out of the vending machine) I just lost ALL of my photos and videos and notes and everything, I think I want to start updating again. I've been so tired lately. I was a mess last night because wiping my phone was like murdering my first born. So homework post wipe gate was tough. I had to write a 1000 word Spanish essay, which ended up being 834 words and mostly written on google translate. Whoops. No me importa. The only thing I was looking forward to yesterday was lucky charms and reading "How To Love" and I can't fucking find the book! Honestly I've looked everywhere an I'm so mad. Yesterday was just really bad.
Anyway sweet life was fun! I went better than expected. I didn't drink but honestly the marijuana smelt better than I imagined. The performances were amazing and I didn't even mind having my dad with me. we had so much fun and it was nice being VIP. Those sofas were heaven. I can't believe Abby didn't get in trouble but. Whatever. I'm over it. And like 3 girls hooked up with random guys!! Even though it's kinda slutty, I want the attention! Why doesn't anyone flirt with me? :( I miss being wanted.
Day 2 of the year. Woke up at around 11:30 and organized my school notes. Blah I don't want to take exams. Anyway then I made a cocoon of pillows and slept til four. Then we went to Grammy and Granddads for potroast and dump cake "we ate grandma's dump"
GM gave me Gd's fraternity pin, which is the equivalent of her engagement ring. I'm really honored and glad I was the one to get it.
We had a bit of a Psych marathon and now it's time for bed! Carries being annoying and calling us to bed :/
So I've had this blog URL saved for a while and obviously I need to update the theme and everything but this shall hopefully be home for the next 365 days. Everyone promises to keep a resolution and I've already drunk a soda about 5 years into the day. Whoops. So I wanted to keep a journal. But. I've never been able to make it past like 4 days. I love tumblr tho and I promise to try as hard as possible. I named this blog Determined before I made this decision but I think it is perfect. So my day;
I woke up at 6 so I got like two hours of sleep. I was so stressed out last night and pissed Maddie put me in that situation. She invited two guys over and I thought it was a sleep over! I thought my parents would freak but they were surprisingly okay. The boys left at 2:30 and it was a remotely un eventful New Year's Eve. At least for me. No kiss :( not like I was gonna kiss Gianluca or Jack anyway. Gross. So I woke up then tried to fall back asleep until mad's dad woke me up asking if we wanted pancakes. No offense but he gives me the heebie-jeebies. So I left Maddie's stuffed with shitty pancakes and my mom has my grandparents in the car and we went to Donnas. I ate buttered pasta and the waiter looked super concerned that at 15 year old wanted buttered pasta. Oh well. Then we saw Philomena. I loved it. I sobbed and laughed and I hated how my mom freaked cuz of the gay/aids thing but she's always focused on the things that bother her. It was a moving story and I felt so horrible. Bless that lady. Then we went to LaMill for some cappuccino and cookie. And we went to 34th street and went home. The triplets and Dad got back from skiing and brought me a salad. Who puts carrots on a Caesar Salad? Carrie apparently.
So I hope I can keep this going for a full year. Permission to kick me if I don't. I doubt anyone will read this but hello if you are! I can't wait to read this next year :)
Lots of love.

I use a very simple and easy pattern from a german magazine "Diana Moden" for this scarf-print fabric.
It is cotton with a little elastic. The pattern doesn't need a zipper.

London, United Kingdom
"According to Oscar Wilde, one should either be a work of art or wear one. Live up to his lofty standards with scarves by Wrq.e.d." Daily Candy.
Wrq.e.d is a new accessories label that merges contemporary art with design and craftsmanship. Wrq.e.d scarves are like expensive scents - best described in a musical metaphor as having three sets of notes, making the harmonious scent accord. The notes unfold over time, as do the colours and the story. The beautiful creations by Wrq.e.
d are enticingly feminine accessories, which will always have a favourite, personalised feel.
Wrqed was founded in London by Ekaterina Demidova, a young awarded designer, recipient of Italian Fashion Chamber award amongst others and graduate of London College of Fashion. Ekaterina has previously worked for Alexander McQueen and Giles and their influence is clearly evident in the modern, graphic tones of the designs as well as her passionate attention to detail. In fact, detail is Ekaterina's muse. Various parts of the collages are so intricately woven together, that the designs feel more like words telling a story.
Ekaterina's dedication to research of her design subjects, be it Cvetaeva's verses or the mood of Le Penseur, lets her create fluent works of art, true and genuine in their interpretation. The Wrq.e.d brand was born as a curated collaboration with the up and coming artists, their sketchbooks, research and creative journey.
"When poetic writing meets captivating visuals, the impact is enormous. I am attracted to the work of London based Wrq.e.d who merge contemporary art with the finest materials to create the beautiful scarves" Fashion156.
"Printed scarf by Wrqed is an example of a fashion piece that in itself comprises an art, a story, a wearable trendy item that is totally unique" Natasha Coote, stylist Boutique@Home

When I received Jessica Barely Blueberry in the mail, I couldn't wait to try it. It is such a nice squishy subtle light blue, I was convinced right away! Barely Blueberry is part of Jessica's Gelato Mio! collection, which was released as their summer 2012 collection.
For this manicure I used two coats of Barely Blueberry. It dried really fast, even though I used thicker coats. After it dried, the polish was still very shiny, so I didn't use a topcoat. I love this light blue, but after a while I wanted to try something out, so I took Tangerine Dreamz, also from Jessica, and also from the summer collection, and started painting drips on them.
I thought that this design fit the collection best – dripping ice cream! The color of Tangerine Dreamz is a pastel orange creme polish. It isn't my color, I am also really picky when it comes to oranges (pun intended), but for the drips on the super cute light blue, it worked very well. I topped the whole thing off with a fat layer of Seche Vite and showed everyone, even the people who didn't ask!
Let me know what you think!
Both products were sent to me by the PR company of Jessica Cosmetics for my honest review. You can purchase Jessica polishes through their website.

The Hannibal Fire Department says a Thursday night house fire was intentionally set and authorities have one subject in custody.
Fire crews responded to 807 Paris Avenue just after 8 p.m. Thursday and found heavy smoke and fire coming from the rear of the structure.
Hannibal fire officials say everybody inside the home got out.
Everyone inside was able to get out, thanks to a neighbor.
His first priority was getting them out fast because of how quickly the fire was spreading.
"It's scary and it's hot. Everybody keeps saying hero, no, I did my job...I got people out of a building that was on fire. Anybody that's walking down the street and see a building on fire, people coming out of it...help. Don't just look and take pictures, do something," said Christopher Shinn.
One person suffered minor burns.
The fire was put out within 15 minutes.
An investigator with the Missouri State Fire Marshall's Office was called in and found the fire to be incendiary in nature.
The Hannibal Police Department has one subject in custody in regards to the fire. His name has not yet been released.

A close look at tefilla defies human logic. Simply by saying particular words with kavannah, we can reverse judgments in Heaven. How is it possible? It doesn't make sense!
The answer is that it doesn't have to make sense. On one level, davening is a chok. But more than that, davening is a gift. It's an escape hatch we can use to get out of trouble any time.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
So I'm getting hired by an indie filmmaker in Brooklyn. How much should I charge him for on environment concept/production painting. Based on my work, how much should I charge. This is my first gig.
You charge your rate times the hours it will take you to complete the work. You set your rate by deciding how much you need to make a month to pay your bills and have a little money left over.
I always have a bit of trouble figuring how much I should charge too, that makes sense. I would say if you're concepting out a film, I'd charge by the hour cause he'll have you do revisions and changes, throw out ideas and bring in new, unless he only wants an exact number of paintings or designs, then I was guesstimate how long it would take and charge him a flat rate with a certain number of revisions you're willing to do until you charge him again.
Website: www.tomahawkmonkey.com
Is it crass of me to suggest an actual number?
Keep in mind that my CHoW entries don't get votes and my WIP posts don't get comments...
As a function of my job I do on occasion get paid to do concept art (almost always creature design), and I generally charge $25 to $35 per hour, with the number being influenced by many factors. I would be shocked if full-time concept art pros aren't paid more than that.
I would also strongly suggest discussing the process with the client so you are both on the same page about what to expect.
Good luck with the gig!
My portfolio
Would you like to see my drawr-rings?
Will design for food, provided that we all agree that money is edible.
They are, even twice or more. Always depends on client and the complexity of work.
In my experience, the best practice is to ask the client, "What is your budget for this assignment?" as early as you can while still being polite. Generally within the first fifteen minutes of a phone conversation or--if they contacted you by e-mail--in your initial response to their query. If they don't respond by offering you a number, they are probably trying to hustle you.
Also: If you're in Florida and the client is in New York, you have essentially no way to insure you will get paid, unless you want to drive up to Brooklyn and sue them in small-claims court. Bear that in mind--i.e., get a third or a half of your fee up front.
Ask your fellow artists and find out what the free market rate is - and I say, "free market", not "fair market" because the market is never fair.
While that can give ppl a rough idea, Im totally against this type of calculation. By that standard, seasoned pros will be charging the same as beginners. There's a quote I saw somewhere: you aren't paying me for the two hours it takes me to finish a drawing, but the ten years it takes me to get to this level.
Anyway, Like others mentioned, ask about their budget first so you know how much they are willing to pay. I looked at your site, your environmentals are good but at the same time they aren't really up to par with the pros. Im not too familiar with environmental pricing, but go by character drawing pricings, I think you are limited to $15-$20 per hour, depends on the clients budget and how much you want to work on this.
I don't know anything about the industry, and I'm not even an artist so if my question is a bother just ignore me.
I'm curious though, how long have you been into making art?
Luminus, please do not hijack the thread for your own purposes. Your previous thread on this topic was closed, and a personal question is best asked via PM or email.
30/hr is an average entry freelance charge... That includes any sketches, roughs, finals and revisions you do.
no alot, looks like you could need some more work for your portfolio, and would be good to have some satisfied references before you demand the big $.. also make sure not to over charge (like it looks like some suggest) you risk loosing the job/a great learning experience
Sorry to resurrect an older post, but I felt I had information that could help here.
One option here, assuming that you have email contact with the client (though it is also possible via physical post) is to send a watermarked proof (a translucent image in the center of your picture which shows your artwork but also renders it professionally useless) of your work, the agreement being that upon proving the work is complete, once their cheque has cleared, you will send a full, high resolution finished version. This could be stipulated beforehand, so as not to seem stand off-ish.
"I will charge you x amount per hour, including sketchwork and revisions. Upon completion, I will send you a watermarked proof of the artwork and an invoice. After the cheque for the invoice has cleared, I will release the designs."
You should also remember to agree that you retain the right to show the work you have done in your personal portfolio and promotional material. High profile clients, for instance, game studios sticking to strict release dates tend to require that you don't personally release or publish your work until they are ready for it to be made public, which to me, is fair enough. This will also probably be stipulated early on.
Website | Blog | Deviations
This seems a bit unrealistic to me. In the US at least, the standard schedule of payment to vendors is "Net 30 Days," which means one doesn't get paid until a month after the job is completed. Asking the client to wait an additional month for a non-watermarked version of the art is just not going to happen. That said--everything in this world is negotiable, and if you can get the client to pay on completion of the job, something like Jri's suggestion might actually be workable.One option here, assuming that you have email contact with the client (though it is also possible via physical post) is to send a watermarked proof...the agreement being that upon proving the work is complete, once their cheque has cleared, you will send a full, high resolution finished version.

MJS Music Publications A Vulgar Display Of Power: Courage And Carnage At The Alrosa Villa (Book)On December 8th, 1980, a lone gunman took the life of John Lennon, one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic personalities. Almost to the minute, 24 years later, heavy metal's most beloved guitarist, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, was tragically murdered while performing at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. It was a night filled with tragedy, yet it was offset by exceptional heroism. Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson, Erin Halk, and Nathan Bray each lost their lives while trying to aid Dimebag and protect the lives of hundreds of people from an armed killing machine."A Vulgar Display of Power" tells the true story of the events leading up to the tragic murders. It peers into the twisted mind and background of a killer intoxicated by psychotic rage and driven by the voice of the beast inside his head. "A Vulgar Display of Power" attempts to make sense of what appears to be a senseless act. Unlike books that only focus on the evil of the killer or the fruits of the crime, "A Vulgar Display of Power" also extols the inspirational selflessness of those who died trying to help others. Within its pages, readers will meet and experience the lives of Erin Halk, Jeff Thompson, and Nathan Bray. In addition, the book contains a moving tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott with contributions from fans, rock stars, and friends.Supported by approximately 200 never-before-published personal photographs, and augmented by actual crime scene photos, the lives of those lost and the events of the sad evening of December 8th, 2004 will clearly come into focus. "A Vulgar Display of Power" dispels the myths and presents the complex facts behind the horrific murders at the Alrosa Villa. As tragic as the event was, readers will be left in awe by the courage and compassion demonstrated by so many people.The actions of the Columbus Police Department, various fire department and rescue squads, plus many of the Alrosa's staff and patrons reflect the selfless courage of humanity even at times of great distress. Written with a focus on taste, class, and dignity readers are sure to close the last page of this masterpiece with seemingly rival emotions of sadness and pride. What is certain is that anyone who reads "A Vulgar Display of Power" will never forget "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott nor the incredible sacrifices of Nathan Bray, Erin Halk, or Jeff Thompson.

A groundbreaking new report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Anand Grover, was released yesterday. And it is big!!
In the new report, Grover calls for the immediate removal of all impeding restrictions to abortion, full access to modern contraceptive methods, and complete and accurate information on sexual and reproductive health.
As the International Planned Parenthood Federation explains, "the report examines the disproportionate impact these laws and policies have on those who already suffer human rights violations and the denial of adequate heath care (e.g., women, impoverished peoples) and emphasizes individuals' right to dignity and autonomy in health-related decision making."
Having someone this high up basically say that all UN members states should provide safe abortion and contraception is a big deal, and many women's health orgs are already hailing this as a huge victory for global sexual and reproductive rights and health.
For more, check out AWID's analysis of the report (also available in Spanish and French).
RH Reality Check is also running a series looking at the issues in the report from different angles, including US policy.
(via loveyourchaos)
Alabama lawmakers last week introduced three heavily-sponsored bills that in concert would change how a person is defined in the state and potentially make abortion in all circumstances illegal.
Senate Bill 301, introduced by Sen. Phil Williams (R-Cherokee, Etowah), is a proposal to amend the Alabama Code of 1975 to change the definition of the term "person" to mean : "any human being from the moment of fertilization or the functional equivalent thereof."
Williams' bill — read for the first time last Tuesday — has 18 co-sponsors and has been referred to the Senate committee on Health.
Rep. John Merrill (R-Tuscaloosa) filed an identical personhood bill in the House on Thursday, House Bill 405. But taking a step further from just amending the state's legal code, Merrill also filed House Bill 409, which is a ballot proposal to amend the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, so that every time the word "person" is used in that document it would include "'all humans from the moment of fertilization." If HB 409 goes forward, Alabamans would have the opportunity to vote on this amendment either in special election at the end of the year or in 2012.
These bills, which have been referred to the House Health committee, both have 31 co-sponsors, which, according to the attorney Ben DuPré of the Foundation for Moral Law, is "astounding" and a good indication that the laws will pass. DuPré and the national organization Personhood USA helped draft the earlier versions of the legislation, though several anti-aboriton rights groups, such as Alabama Citizens for Life, have backed the bills.
"We must protect all Alabama children," said Sen. Williams in a Personhood USA statement. "At the same time we have to send a message that Alabamians value the sanctity of life. Every heartbeat is as important as the next."
I think what they're trying to say is that personhood ends as soon as you come out female-bodied.

Reviewer's Notes: Mirror's Edge
The laptop was acquired for free by the reviewer.
In the interest of greater videogame review transparency, Crispy Gamer has decided to offer more details regarding our review for Mirror's Edge on the Xbox 360 (reviewed 11/13/2009) and the versions of the game created for the PlayStation 3 and PC. Our critic, Gus Mastrapa, felt that the game itself (the way it plays, the story it tells, and the places it takes you) remains largely unchanged across all three platforms. But, in keeping with Crispy Gamer's dedication to offering sound purchasing advice, we're providing all the information required to help you, the reader, decide which version of Mirror's Edge is the right one for you. The following is a list of review notes -- data points, if you will -- that may help you better understand how our videogame critic experienced Mirror's Edge.
- The PC version of Mirror's Edge was reviewed on a Dell XPS M1710 running on an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7600 with 2.00 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX.
- The laptop was acquired for free by the reviewer (not stolen, per se) after leaving a former employer. As such he considers the machine to be fairly "sweet."
- The power cable for the laptop wore out about a year ago and had to be replaced. The replacement, an off-brand purchased from a third party, isn't 100-percent compatible with the laptop, forcing the user to unplug the power supply every time the computer is started. It is possible that some latent annoyance caused by this irksome incompatibility could have bled over into our reviewer's assessment of Mirror's Edge on the PC. For this inadvertent bias Crispy Gamer apologizes.
- That said, the reviewer has customized his PC with three stickers, one a Mishka-brand "Keep Watch" sticker covers the machine's Dell insignia. The two others are a blue banana sticker and an image of the cartoon characters from the Adult Swim television show "Metalocalypse" exclaiming, "I Want a Banana Sticker." None of these stickers were paid for by the reviewer. And all three, including the Mishka sticker (which can't be seen during gameplay), impart a minor sense of well-being in the mind of the reviewer. When considering Crispy Gamer's reviews of Mirror's Edge on the PC, please keep this detail in mind.
- It should be noted that said stickers could create minor performance issues with regard to heat loss, especially the little blue banana sticker, which is situated a centimeter above the system's right speaker port -- a potential outlet for heated air.
- While the Xbox 360 version of Mirror's Edge was played and reviewed in the weeks leading up to Nov. 13, the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the game were sampled during the weeks prior to Jan. 19. During the month or so between these two sessions, the reviewer's hair grew anywhere from one to three inches. The increased weight of his already long hair caused his locks to hang lower, blocking more of his peripheral version. For these reasons the PlayStation 3 version of Mirror's Edge may have felt slightly more immersive. Such benefits don't apply to gameplay of Mirror's Edge on the PC because the headphones worn by the reviewer (Sennheiser HD 202) act as a headband, pulling the reviewer's hair back and out of the field of vision.
- The reviewer played the Xbox 360 version of Mirror's Edge on a black Xbox 360 Elite provided by Microsoft. The PlayStation 3 version of Mirror's Edge was played on an 80 GB model of the PlayStation 3 purchased by the reviewer. Sony has sent the reviewer plenty of other free stuff and purchased more than a few drinks on the reviewer's behalf. It is Crispy Gamer's belief that there is no discernible inequity in Gus Mastrapa's treatment by either publisher.
- Besides, the PlayStation 3 purchased by Mastrapa makes a plenty nice Blu-ray player. And his wife likes downloading movies over PSN, so he has no complaints.
- Also, not only did Mastrapa's first Xbox 360 suffer from several "red ring" failures, but his current console, ailed early in its life by a DVD drive failure, is now making pitiful scraping and creaking sounds every time it tries to spin a disc up to speed. So it should be noted that Mastrapa's feelings towards both consoles are considerably complicated.
- Please take note that Mastrapa's Xbox 360 Friends List is padded with strangers he met on NeoGAF. For this reason, frequent "Friend Playing" alerts may have significantly reduced the immersive nature of Mirror's Edge on the Xbox 360.
- Such messages on the PlayStation 3 are situated in a different area and are significantly quieter. Besides, Mastrapa hasn't added that many PlayStation 3 friends, because most of his friends don't have the console yet. And he's not even sure how chat would work on that machine. Still, he's got that Bluetooth headset that came with Warhawk dangling from the front of his console just in case somebody wants to help him get those co-op-only items from LittleBigPlanet. It should be noted that Mastrapa's mild dissatisfaction with the PlayStation 3's online gaming when compared to that found on Xbox Live may have affected, in some minor way, his assessment of Mirror's Edge on the PlayStation 3.
- That said, it should be noted that the PlayStation 3's dearth of voice chat, caused in part by Sony's choice to not include a headset bundled with the console, drastically reduces the amount of racist and homophobic trash talk spewed into the critic's ear during online gaming sessions. While such abuses have often filled Gus Mastrapa's ears (frequently accentuated by the requisite Southern accents) while playing Xbox 360 games, these negative experiences are rarely associated with the PlayStation 3. Please take these differences into account when assessing Gus Mastrapa's review of Mirror's Edge for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
- It should be noted that the reviewer hasn't experienced the Home social space since the service launched.
- Additionally, Mirror's Edge was played using the PlayStation 3's original Sixaxis controller. This is because the reviewer didn't feel like dishing out another 50 bucks for a controller with rumble. But he's been thinking about it because he'd like to get his wife to help him with some of the tougher levels of PixelJunk Monsters. Therefore, none of the Mirror's Edge rumble effects were experienced while testing the game on the PlayStation 3. Please take this into account.
- It should be noted that the reviewer of all three versions of Mirror's Edge could give two shits about frame rate, lighting effects, texture pop-in and myriad other technical concerns, so long as they don't interfere with a) enjoyment of the game b) immersion or c) the gamer's ability to make time with hot babes (if you've ever been cock-blocked by really bad collision glitch you'd be with him on this one). Henceforth it should be noted that any technical issues perceived while playing any and all versions of videogames reviewed by Gus Mastrapa, if not noted within his review text, were beneath notice, forgivable considering the fun being gleaned from the game, or straight-up ignored because Mastrapa hates you and wants you to buy a game that will drive you crazy. This last motivation is not shared by Crispy Gamer's editorial staff, management or investors. Though they all wonder what you did to Mastrapa to force the man to execute such a vendetta against you by way of videogame review.
- Finally, it should be noted that most multiplatform games are, for the most part, identical. And when there are issues with regards to shoddy ports, you can count on Crispy Gamer (not to mention thousands of other gaming outlets, blogs and message boards) to point them out. Chances are, Gus Mastrapa won't be doing it. From here on out he's going to stick to reviewing console exclusives to better avoid this kind of discussion.

These reviewer's notes were written using Open Office, a free word-processing program provided by Sun Microsystems. It was typed while sitting in a fairly uncomfortable chair purchased at OfficeMax. And don't get Gus Mastrapa started on the HP Pavilion Desktop he uses to work, connect to the Internet, and do his taxes. The thing sounds like a blow dryer because he keeps forgetting to go to OfficeMax to buy compressed air. He paid for that, too.

I have quite a lot of frozen blueberries and am thinking about making wine from them. I am not sure how to procede, should I just thaw them out, use a straining bag and add the campden tablet or do they need to be boiled? Years ago I made wine with frozen fruit and for whatever reason I think I boiled the fruit (frozen figs) first.Any thoughts on this?
DON'T boil the fruit! You'll set the pectin and make blueberry jam. Just thaw them and use 1 campden tablet per gallon, along with some pectic enzyme. I'd thaw the berries, add the campden in a little water, and stir and let sit for a day. Then proceed with the recipe. I haven't used this recipe yet, but this is the one I'm making when I get some blueberries:
(Medium Bodied)
3 pts blueberries
3 lbs granulated sugar
½ tsp. pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
7 pt. water
wine yeast
Put water on to boil and stir in sugar until dissolved. Meanshile, wash blueberries, put in nylon straining bag and tie bag closed. In primary fermentation vessel, crush blueberries. Pour boiling water into primary and stir well, cover, and set aside to cool. Stir in yeast nutrient and pectic enzyme, recover primary and set aside for 12 hours. Add activated yeast and recover. Stir daily and press pulp in nylon bag to extract flavor. Ferment 10 days, strain juice from bag and allow to settle overnight. Siphon liquor off sediments into glass secondary and fit airlock. Rack, top up and refit airlock every 60 days until wine is clear and all signs of fermentation are at least 30 days past (6-7 months). Stabilize, wait two weeks and rack into bottles. Allow 6-12 to mature. [Adapted from Steven A. Krause's

Information for migration advice institutions
Basic advisory service
The Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) has provided an independent migration-specific advisory service, the Migration Advisory Service for adult immigrants (MBE), since 1 January 2005. The advice is provided for a specific period of time and is based around the individual's particular needs. Immigrants can use the MBE for a maximum of three years.
The MBE and the integration courses are a fixed part of the regulatory framework of the Residence Act. Adult immigrants can use these services before, during and after an integration course.
Implementing the MBE
The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is responsible for implementing the MBE in accordance with the Immigration Act.
The BAMF has tasked the central independent welfare associations (Spitzenverbände der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege) and the Federation of Expellees (Bund der Vertriebenen) with the specific task of providing the advice.
Objectives of the MBE
The MBE aims to
- initiate, guide and manage the integration process of immigrants in a targeted way
- provide a qualitative contribution to empower immigrants to become independent in dealing with all aspects of everyday life
- introduce and refer immigrants to existing relevant support/advisory programmes in a timely fashion.
Support guidelines for implementing the MBE
In January 2010, the BMI issued Support guidelines for the MBE which came into effect on 1 March 2010. These summarise all of the essential aspects of support and will form the basis of support with effect from 2011.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I use to be a student of RWMS I am WELL known at that school for being a trouble maker but you know what the teachers and staff AND including the principle there all helped me become a better person unlike some schools the staff there take the time to talk to you and help you and make your day better. As for education they do help you some even offer to use there lunch break and help the students. as for some little kids out there that complain about school some just complain because they don't want to do anything in school they expect for them to be the center of attention they need to get up and ask for the help. When I needed help I stood up and asked for it I didn't just sit an wait for the teacher to offer it so a lot of parents complaining about this school make sure you talk to your kid first and don't just judge the teachers I appreciate the teachers helping me there one of them is actually my favorite teacher in the world an still is she helped me get through a lot and pushed me to become a better person and I visit that school here and there from time to time this school is not bad and is no different from any other school.
I was recently told at a parent teacher conference that my student was failing because there are too many trouble makers in his class and the teachers do not have time to help him. This is bull....my child suffers because they administration will not do anything about those few who are causing problems. There is also a lot of bullying at this school and the principal HAS AND WILL set up children to be bullied....my child is one who spoke up and told the truth about an incident that happened and now has been cussed at daily and called a snitch, he was also assaulted on the bus. I am going to transfer my child as soon as possible.
Is luck on your side? My student was lucky to have nice teachers. Although having some nice teachers isn't what it's all about. I'm sure the teachers do their best with the resources given to them, but overall the quality of teaching is less than par, sorry for the few teachers that know how to teach! The office staff changed and too bad their Vice Principal has moved to another school. He was a good one, the backbone of this school, but now he's gone! The counselor needs to be replaced, period. Less important, but still needs mentioning is the sports program. It is there, but basically a big disappointment. Instead of feeling like a winner, kids will feel the opposite. Some coaches have the best attitude, but lack in coaching skills. Some just should not be coaching anything. Thank goodness for the few parents that tried to help. On a positive note, high school is just around the corner?
Hi im a stundent at ron watson i am a sixth grader i really like the teachers there they are really nice and also the do very fun educational stuff and its very big school i guess there is a sixth grade building a seventh grade building and a eighth grade building i like ron watson middle it is an awesome school i cant wait to finish this year.
I am sooooo disappointed in this school. My student needed help I had meetings with teachers and the principal, I was assured they would test her and also provide help with the math. None of that happened and my student failed Math. She went from 5 yrs of honor roll in her elementary school, to failing classes. This is awful. I do NOT recommend this school to anyone that has students who might need help as they will not get it at RWMS. I hope moving her to a school that seems to care about their students will help her get back on track. They have caused a huge concern for us as now our daughter thinks school is boring and no fun and no one cares to help her. Good idea to think about a different school. Understandable why Arizona has such low ratings when you have teachers that don't care about the student.
Best band and great councilers, dedicated instructors ad alot of parent involvement
This is an excellent school. Administration and staff strive to make student success their number one priority. The principal is always available to meet with parents to address any concerns appropriately. I highly recommend this school!
Ron watson, im a student here and i have onlie 3 things to say against the school.Showers,We need school showers its discusting that we have to be swaety pretty much all day.We also need gym clothes,i cant go around running in skinney jeans!Another thing is that classes are so boring,and im falling asleep! And no! its not beacuse i dont get enough sleep its becuase some of the teachers do not make it fun to learn and that makes it even harder to learn and gather the information that we need to suceed!
Their PTO strives to do everything they can but desperately needs more parental involvement. Officer Caylor is friendly and visible allowing for regular school function to continue. Mrs. Marron the school secretary is always professional and will do anything in her control to assist students, teachers, parents or the community. It is nice to see that there is finally grass, trees are growing though they need more, and much needed athletic fields are finally in place. This school is finally coming full circle due to limited funding. The students have been patient and for the most part a great crop of kids.
The 7th grade teachers in particular are dedicated to ensuring that all students at Ron Watson have a diverse academic experience both inside and outside the classroom. Yes they are strict and have high standards, but this is a refreshing dose of much needed structure in most middle school student s every day life. Yes there are troublemakers, and they are dealt with accordingly. We really like the blue behavior card policy that calls for student accountability. The students may find it tedious, however it has made a large difference in classroom behavior according to my children. They are glad that there are immediate consequences for troublemakers allowing classroom management to focus on student needs and allow the lesson to continue without distraction. The principal and vice principal are swift and judicious in dealing with discipline related issues.
We recently learned that due to boundary changes, our child will be attending this school in the fall. The staff have been more that welcoming and very helpful to us during this period of registration and transition. There is such a difference in the attitude of the office staff compared to her current school. We are looking very forward to attending this school in the fall. Thank you so far. From a new parent for next fall.
My son is continually complaining about this school and some of the teachers. Not all of the teachers are bad but a good few are.
I love the school there is some trouble makers. but they keep to themselves the kids are nice the teachers are outstanding and great they really teach . the curriculum is just awesome especially honors this the best school.
my son hates this school becuse of the teachers
Both my chidfren are at Ron Watson each of my children are encourage to do their personal best. Teachers are highly skilled and word hard,the principal takes the time to know each student. My oldest child graduates this year and I want to say thank you for bringing the best out of my kids and confindence they need to go out into the world. Priscilla Smith
I am so happy to see so many parents wanting to enroll their children in our school. I believe that Ron Watson Middle School has set the bar for academic excellence and faculty teamwork. We have a School Resource Officer that is actively involved with our students and is pleasure to work with. Our PTO is second to none. We are the best Middle School in the district.
The best middle school my kids have been to. With the awesome office staff and teachers, Ron Watson Middle School makes up for the size of the school. I am confident the school will improve even more as the years continue. The only recommendation I have is for a shade to be put up for the students. I really like this school, great job staff.
I chose to enroll my child in this school mainly because it was the closest one to our home. We just moved into town three months ago and I noticed the lack of parent-teacher communication and extracurricular activities. The school is new and so are the facilities, thus I gave a 4. Other than that, they still need a lot to improve on.
This school is the best, I feel the quality of the office staff, the principle and the teachers is beyond compair. My son has been to many different schools due to our military involvment,and having to move so often. This is our last move and this time he is adjusting well (finally)in no small way due to the help and care of the staff at this wonderful Middle school. Here they take the time to work with my son and his special needs. A small school it is, but a blessing beyond compare for sure! Way to go Staff keep up the Fantastic work, we sure are proud to have our Jonathan as part of the student body at Ron Watson!

In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework for the design of tangible interfaces for musical expression. The main insight for the proposed approach is the importance and utility of familiar sensorimotor experiences for the creation of engaging and playable new musical instruments. In particular, we suggest exploiting the commonalities between different natural interactions by varying the auditory response or tactile details of the instrument within certain limits. Using this principle, devices for classes of sounds such as coarse grain collision interactions or friction interactions can be designed. The designs we propose retain the familiar tactile aspect of the interaction so that the performer can take advantage of tacit knowledge gained through experiences with such phenomena in the real world.

These are pictures of Dubai before the economic boom. Its really nice seeing old pictures like that. The simple life, the crowded Souqs, the traditional dances; beautiful. Of course not to mention Sheikh Zayed (RIP), the founder of modern day UAE.
I've stumbled across this picture while browsing Frankom's blog.
This is a picture about Egypt during King Farouq's reign. Whats staggering is that the unemployment rate was only 2%! These numbers are not confirmed (the source being a tweet), but nevertheless, it is something to think about.
Was King Farouq's Egypt the same Egypt we'd see in those black and white movies?
Another numbers from this picture:
Some of these "facts" really seem far fetched. Who knows, maybe Egypt was once the New York of the Middle East.

"Phyllis Siegel, 76, left, and Connie Kopelov, 84, both of New York, embrace after becoming the first same-sex couple to get married at the Manhattan City Clerk's office."
This is truly beautiful, seeing two souls deeply in love with each other finally getting married. Very heart warming.

Your Guide to Living Green During Pregnancy
There's no better time to go green than when you're trying to conceive or already expecting a baby. Dangerous toxins and nasty chemicals lurk in some surprising places. Here are some of the major culprits and how you can live greener.
Beauty Products
Many beauty products are full of chemicals linked to birth defects, carcinogens, and ingredients derived from nonrenewable petroleum. Even sticking to products labeled organic might not be enough, because the government doesn't regulate these products. Read the labels!
Some studies suggest that high levels of exposure to pesticides may contribute to miscarriage, preterm delivery, and birth defects. Pregnant women should avoid pesticides whenever possible to be on the safe side.
Some types of plastics contain phthalates. Choose smart plastics; check the bottom of bottles and use safer plastics (#1, #2, #4, #5), and #3, #6, and #7. Also, try not to put plastic in the microwave or the dishwasher, and don't reuse plastic bottles.
Pesticides in Food
Stores are stocking more organic than ever, but what's good to get organic and what non-organic are OK? Prioritize your list with the most commonly contaminated fruits and veggies: peaches, apples, strawberries, spinach, bell peppers, celery, and potatoes.
Indoor Air
Indoor air pollution can cause many health problems. Avoid new conventional carpet, conventional household cleansers, and new vinyl shower curtains. Purchase green alternatives and also avoid using air fresheners.
Fragrance in Personal Products
Phthalates are in all kinds of products as fragrance and an oily component that helps penetrate the skin. Some have been shown to cause cancer and birth defects. Select organic products labeled "fragrance-free" or that are scented with pure essential oils.
Household Cleaning Products
"Look for signal words and avoid things labeled with [words] stronger than 'caution,' like 'flammable,' 'fatal if swallowed,' and 'hazardous,'" says Annie Bond, green living expert. Instead make your own non-toxic cleaners.
Nail Polish
Phthalates show up in nail polishes. Known to have caused birth defects in lab animals, they should be avoided. Instead of painting on chemicals, forgo the paint, indulging in a foot massage, instead. Or, buy phthalate-free polish.
Nearly all canned food contains small amounts of a bisphenol-A (BPA). Many believe exposure raises risks of certain cancers and could contribute to childhood behavioral problems. To limit exposure, choose soups, milk, and soymilk in cardboard brick cartons.
Enlist your partner to paint the nursery. The fumes in paint are volatile organic compounds and shouldn't be near you. Lots of no- or low-VOC paints are on the market. Even when these safer products are used, pregnant women should stay away during renovations.
5 Steps to a Greener NurseryIf you're trying to make your home more eco-friendly, consider starting with Baby's room: It's simpler than you think to choose natural, organic, and sustainable materials to outfit the nursery...view gallery

i have a question regarding placing images on our new school website. We wanted to make it media rich.
i know their are child protection laws but in some photos its just not possible to get everyone identified and checked off. for instance, we have a photo of an award ceremony with a gym full of students that we would like to use.
is there any way to have an opt out system? i may send out a permission letter for every kid in each picture everytime i post a new picture and keep a large file cabinet full of slips lol.
any links yall could provide would be appreciated. i see so many school websites that never change and look horrible and i refuse to let ours look that way.
