Closing the opportunity gap with data, systems, and support
"Teachers cannot do the work of counselors and social workers," educators told Mary Walsh when she inquired many years ago about how schools were addressing the out-of-school challenges of students living in poverty. Along with these educators, Walsh recognized that factors such as homelessness, inadequate health care, and community violence may seriously affect academic achievement. Over the past 15 years, Boston College Professor Mary Walsh has led the development of an organized approach to addressing these and other barriers that interfere with students' ability to learn and succeed in school.

More on Turning Schools Around
Education Week's "Public Engagement & Ed Reform" blog
The results [City Connects] report are impressive. For a cost of less than $500 per child, they are helping to break through achievement gaps. I believe this program (and others like it), in conjunction with strong development of principals, should be replicated around the country to help turn around chronically low- performing schools.

Mr. Carmack – Life/Death EP
2 Feb
Fine Future Screwers,
Thats right people, the ever-so-lovable, and sexy, downtempo branch of the trap music tree has evolved itself to the point of earning its own controversial genre-label. This new term, 'Future Screw' (or 'Future Wave'), has been circulating the internet music forums at a tamagotchi-equivalent rate, as it seems that the fan's yearning for this movement to become it's own collective entity has just become too strong to deny.
Love it or hate it, I have found the term branded to some outstanding pieces of modern music production lately; like this new release from the talented Mr. Carmack. His previously released Bang EP was dripping with originality, and this new creation picked up exactly where the Hawaiian native left off.
And just for fun, I threw in a orphanage fridge's worth of new Trap, and Future Screw, music and a couple of new sets that Dr. R and I threw together last night over YouTube, which feature many of the songs below.

Storage 24 Reviews
Cinema Crazed
If you're in the mood for a quick and fun monster flick, Johannes Roberts' low budget entry does the trick.
7M Pictures
completely works for what it is, and its low-budget nature keeps things grounded
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
The headache you'll get from the first half of the flick is not worth the meager thrills you'll get from the second.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
A London self-storage facility provides an appropriately eerie location for Storage 24, an amiably routine genre pic that combines sci-fi and horror elements.
Hollywood Reporter
This low-budget Alien knock-off set in a London self-storage facility inspires more claustrophobia than chills.
Derivative and dorky, Storage 24 still entertains more often than it exasperates.
Certainly an acceptable matinee distraction and an effective creature feature, at least in rare moments where the monster actually resembles a monster and not a PS3 glitch.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
Village Voice
A monster from a familiar mother.
Slant Magazine
More chilling than the horror of the alien's close-quarters assault is the rank misogyny that more than offensively underscores the Melrose Place-grade human drama.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4
We Got This Covered
While sluggishly starting in a fashion horror/sci-fi fans are all too familiar with, Storage 24 takes an unexpected turn for the awesome with bouts of ooey-gooey creature horror - but still leaves us wanting a tad more.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10
Sci-Fi Movie Page
B-movie fodder ideal for low-expectation late evening TV viewing.
Birmingham Post
Literally feels like it's 24 hours long.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5
The Ooh Tray
An Open Letter to Young British Filmmakers...
What Culture
The film is, as Clarke's hooded Kidulthood character might say, 'well gash, innit'.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Flick Filosopher
[C]ross[es] the line into misogy-wah! territory, and conflate[s] an attack by an alien monster with an attack by mean ol' b*tches on innocent men who didn't do nothin' to deserve it.
Radio Times
Makes the most of a simple premise and single location setting, the cast are uniformly good, and the impressive creature delivers nastily effective splatter chaos.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
This is London
With Johannes Roberts directing, this apocalyptic piece of cheaply made science fiction wends its way through an absurd plot with some energy.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Sun Online
Storage 24 is destined to be packed into a cardboard box and forgotten about by everyone.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
SFX Magazine
Never quite scary enough to be a horror, nowhere near funny enough to be a comedy and not exciting enough to be an action movie, but stitches all three elements together into a satisfying whole.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
Liverpool Echo
Storage 24 is solid, entertaining but unremarkable genre fare, littered with two-dimensional characters and predictable twists.

Atheists in the Pulpit: The Sad Charade of the Clergy Project
- Thursday, August 30, 2012
"It is hard to think of any other profession which it is so near to impossible to leave." That is the judgment of Richard Dawkins, perhaps the world's most famous living atheist, as he welcomes unbelieving pastors to join the Clergy Project, a group designed to help unbelieving pastors make their way out of the ministry. Apparently, some are not moving out very fast.
Dawkins explains that the Clergy Project "exists to provide a safe haven, a forum where clergy who have lost their faith can meet each other, exchange views, swap problems, counsel each other — for, whatever they may have lost, clergy know how to counsel and comfort." Dawkins, who once held one of the world's most coveted academic posts, has now reduced himself to addressing small gatherings of atheists and celebrating a motley crew of pastors who have abandoned the faith — even if some have not abandoned their pulpits.
The Clergy Project's own statement is even more blunt, describing itself as "a confidential online community for active and former clergy who do not hold supernatural beliefs." Most people, believers and unbelievers alike, are no doubt in the habit of thinking that the Christian ministry requires supernatural beliefs. That assumption is what Richard Dawkins and the Clergy Project want to subvert. More precisely, they want to use the existence of unbelieving pastors to embarrass the church and weaken theism.
This past Sunday, The New York Times Magazine told the story of Jerry DeWitt, once a pastor in DeRidder, La., and later the first "graduate" of the Clergy Project. He is now the executive director of a group known as Recovering from Religion, based in Kansas. DeWitt told the magazine of his struggle as an unbelieving pastor. "I remember thinking," he said, "who on this planet has any idea what I am going through?"
As the story unfolds, DeWitt tells of being the pastor of a Pentecostal church. What readers will also discover, however, is that even by the time he assumed the pastorate, DeWitt "espoused a more liberal Christianity." Though he never earned a college degree, he educated himself by reading authors such as Carl Sagan, an atheist astronomer, and Joseph Campbell, a proponent of the mythological. Later, he read Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, key figures in the New Atheism. By the time he had read Dawkins and Hitchens, "even weak-tea Christianity was becoming hard to follow."
When he found that he could no longer pray for his own parishioners or preach a coherent message, DeWitt resigned, preaching his last sermon in Cut and Shoot, Texas, in April 2011. Now he travels the country organizing Recovering from Religion local chapters and working with the Clergy Project.
The magazine also told of Teresa MacBain, once a Methodist preacher in Tallahassee, Fla., and now another trophy of the Clergy Project. The magazine simply states that MacBain "resigned from her pastor's position in Tallahassee and went public as an atheist." That is a very strategic example of under-reporting the story. As National Public Radio reported, MacBain first told just about everyone but her church of her atheism.
"I am currently an active pastor and I'm also an atheist," she said. "I live a double life. I feel pretty good on Monday, but by Thursday — when Sunday's right around the corner — I start having stomachaches, headaches, just knowing that I got to stand up and say things that I no longer believe in and portray myself in a way that's totally false."
Of course, she didn't have to say such things at all. She could have resigned and spared herself and her church the hypocrisy. MacBain told NPR of her experience with mounting doubts, and then of her "eureka moment" when she realized "I'm an atheist. … I don't believe."

I'm on my way to work, right? And here I go through the first school zone. There's a white suv in front of me and he's going like 50 when the school zone speed is 20. The normal speed limit on the road is 40! But there he goes, and he turns the corner where I'm gonna turn and keeps on going. Well, at one point, I'm thinking "is school out for Christmas vacation?" So I speed up to a good 30 and make my turn. I look at the school and it's packed with cars and shit. So I slow down. But a black suv is now behind me and they're up my ass cause they wanna go 45. Aw, too fucking bad. It's a school zone, dick. We stuck together for a while, actually, and the next school zone comes up! This one has the flashing lights and stuff and it's 25. So the white suv slows down to 25. I slow down to 25. The black suv DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING NOTICE IT. So there they go, 50 through the 40, 50 through the 25. And I didn't see them again cause I was doing the right thing. BUT THEN, this dickhead RED suv comes up behind the white suv and next to me and I'm like "NO, YOU ARE NOT ABOUT TO GET YOUR SPEEDING ASS IN FRONT OF ME." What did he do? He got in front of me. With no directional. And speeding. Going 40 through the 25. ANNND, this really pisses me off, it's a windy road RIGHT before a light that determines if you go straight/right or if you go left. They were in the lane to go left, with me. RIGHT AT THE WINDY PART, THEY SWITCHED LANES. No directional. I was like YOU MOTHER FUCKER$^!(*%&#
Sorry. That happened this morning. Three in a damn row. I'm unhappy about it.

The one thing that is always consistent on Teen Mom is some kind of drama and Tuesday's episode had plenty. As usual, of course, the other moms' drama paled in comparison to Amber and Gary's.
Catelynn and Tyler were dealing with parenting their parents (as per usual) when Tyler's dad Butch was released from prison and wanted to see Catelynn's mom (April). These two are such good kids despite coming from such hot messes for parents. No matter how bad some of the "baby daddies" on this show are, nobody is as pathetic as Butch.
He seems to want to love his children so badly and yet always messes up. Actually, he is a pretty good glimpse of what might happen to Amber if she doesn't shape up. As usual, it was Amber's antics that stole the show.
It's not that anything new happened with these two. And we all know the drama as it unfolds thanks to the tabloids and celebrity websites. But even knowing all this for months, it's still just amazing to see it all on film.
I am past the point of thinking MTV is editing it and now am convinced that Amber is every bit as awful as it seems. During the show, we get glimpses of the person she could be -- she clearly loves her daughter, it seems. But all of that is overshadowed by her constant whining (seriously, does this woman have another tone of voice?) and the fighting with Gary and the cursing.
At this point, it makes sense why Leah was taken away, but it also makes sense for her to get off the show. She is like a bad stereotype -- pregnant at 16, a high school drop-out, a person who can't take responsibility for herself or her actions. There is almost nothing she does that is "redeeming" that one doesn't have to dig to find. Simply put, she is a wreck and is giving all teen moms a bad name.
At this point, we get it. Armed with the tabloid knowledge, it's hard to see her struggle with CPS threatening to take Leah and police interviews to talk about her hitting Gary without focusing on the fact that things are only going to get worse for her.
Amber's time on the show has really passed. Like Butch, she isn't making choices that are consistent with a healthy, happy life. She really needs to get herself together in order to be a good mom to her baby and MTV isn't helping her do that. Who would ever hire her now? How can she ever have a life after the cameras leave?
People all know that Amber Portwood was the girl on Teen Mom who made a complete and utter fool of herself. She shows no signs of getting better. Maybe one day sweet baby Leah will be as responsible and helpful as Catelynn and Tyler, but I am not holding my breath.
Amber needs help before she ruins everyone else's life, too.
Do you think Amber should still be on the show?
Image via MTV
totally agree, and of course she was like any typical abuser, she put all the blame on Gary for why she hit him, it was none of her fault, he provocated it, so he deserved it in her eyes.. she is a sad woman.
I'm with cocobeannns I can't even stand watching her storyline anymore. The girl needs mental help she is clearly delusional. Oh and the fake crying is driving me crazy!!!! My question is the friend that she went running to that sided with her because of the lack of facts where is she now? Is she still siding with her or trying to get her help?
I also believe that this girl would be is a worst off position if she wasn't on the show. I think she would still be going through everything she is even without the cameras and that maybe the cameras are helping her hold back (a little) and people are more interested in helping to try and get their 15 minutes.
I started switching the channel during Amber's segments. The show would be so much better without her. Farrah, Maci and Cate are all very good examples of 3 girls making something good out of their harsh situations. Amber, clearly cannot. She needs REAL help, not hollow attention.
Yeah, Amber is pretty much psycho it does seem to be the same things over and over. But I still cant help but to feel bad for her situation. Yes, she put herself into the situation, but when she talks about CPS threatening to take leah, she seems really scared and how much she really does love her daughter. I just hope it is scary enought to scare her ass straight! She really needs to figure something out to get a handle on her anger and aggression. That is really out of control. Granted, Gary says some really stupid crap that would make me fly off the handle too. I do not think their relationship is healthy at all for them or for leah. I dont understand why they keep going back to eachother.... I just hope that this is enough to make her get help, her rock bottom maybe.....
BUT I do not think she should be off the show. The show was created to show what can happen if you are a teen mom, and its not all rainbows and kittens. The point is to show the struggles to make other teens not follow down the same path.

Hi there,
Going through JQUERY, NOVICE TO NINJA book I ended up trying a simple accordion sample. Here is the HTML:
and here is the jquery:Code:

Whos Hot Right Now?

Beau Dandy

Content about Beau Dandy

Johnny Stardust

Content about Johnny Stardust

Glenda tronix

Content about Glendatronix

Code javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('#bio > div').hide(); $('#bio > div:first').show(); $('#bio h3').click(function() { $('#bio > div:visible').slideToggle(200); if ($(this).next('div').is(':visible')){ - what would go here? - } else { $(this).next('div').slideToggle(550); } }); });
The if... else... statement wasn't there at first. It wasn't really difficult to make the accordion work, that is, whenever you click on an
, its
 child shows up (slideToggle) if it's hidden, and any other
, child to other
's, hides away (slideToggle) if it is visible.
The thing is when you clicked on the
 whose
 child was visible, the slideToggle animation (hiding first and showing back again) took place for that
 too. So I thought I could come up with an if statement so that if a
 is visible, when you click on its parent
, jquery stops running and no animation takes place. But I don't really know how to make that happen, what the jquery standard for that is. .stop() is not working... or else I´m using it wrong.
Any tips on how to get that?
Thx a million in advance.

Summer Cocktail Recipe: Michelada
For our relaxed Memorial Day party. this weekend, we know that beer will be the drink of choice. But to make it a little more fun and fancy, we'll be offering guests the option of making a michelada with their beer.
This traditional Mexican beer cocktail is sometimes known as a cerveza preparada. It's a little spicy, a little tart, and just perfect on a hot summer day.
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch black pepper
1 lime wedge, plus juice from 1/2 a lime
3 dashes hot sauce
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
12 ounces beer, preferably a Mexican beer like Dos Equis (or Negro Modelo for those who prefer dark beer)
Combine the salt, chili powder, and black pepper in a small dish, then salt the rim of a tall glass by rubbing it with the lime wedge and dipping it the salt. Fill with several cubes of ice.
Add the lime juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, then pour in beer and serve.

I would never make a michelada with dark beer, those beers should be drunk by themselves. You can also add a little bit of tomato and clam juice.
my boyfriend and i were at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant when we saw a couple next to us "dressing up" their beers. as soon as we saw them splashing a cold cerveza with tabasco sauce, we asked if they'd make one for usâand what it was called. they said "it's a michelada," and we were won over!
I love these. I am allergic to tomatoes so this is my bloody mary replacement!
I just whipped these up 2 weeks ago!
I live in the Barrio so I picked up some of that chili limon at the corner store for the rim. And the clerk insisted that I use Tamazula sauce.
Sofia -
I actually do prefer the light beer. But friends disagree, saying that only a dark beer stands up to the chili and lime. So I offer both, but drink the dos equis!
I am addicted to the micheladas! In NYC the mecca of Mexican food, Rosa Mexicano, serves these. I had been making them before I ate there, but found that the bartenders poured a LOT more lime juice then myself. So I started adding more and found juicing limes when you are trying to drink beer is not fun. A great alternative is Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Juice. (http://www.keylimejuice.com/) It is NOT from concentrate and really tasty. Add some salt and pepper to the actually drink itself.
sorry for the typo. I had been drinking.
Where is the pint glass from? Is it a Brooklyn Brewery special?
those brooklyn glasses used to be at fishs eddy - but i don't see them on their website anymore: www.fishseddy.com
I never put anything more than negra modelo especial, tobasco/cholula, salt and lime together. Family in Mexico taught me the simplicity of this combination is perfect as is.
Substitute hot sauce for Valencia hot sauce and clamato juice like a bloody ceasar. Best way to enjoy is with a pilsner beer.

Sarah Michelle Gellar at the Vaseline Skin Is Amazing Event
Love It or Hate It? SMG's Feisty NYC Makeup
by POPSUGAR Beauty 83 Reactions 0 Shares Print
PopSugar called it when she said that SMG looked feisty on Monday night at the Vaseline Skin Is Amazing event with her tightly pulled-back hair. Sarah Michelle has been getting a lot of props lately, especially when she stepped out in pretty plaits at the The Air I Breathe premiere. (I have a how-to coming up for you, straight from her stylist, so hold tight for that.)
This time around, I'm not so sure about Sarah's makeup. This dramatic eye paired with a chalky pale pink pout might be pretty for fashion runways, but I think it distracts from her natural beauty. Do you think this smouldering look works for SMG, or is it one of her rare missteps?

It beckons bad 60s-70s makeup...not quite mod or Twiggy teetering on decadent. Except for her lips, the look is too much. Reminds me of the photo spreads where you see the early career mistakes and the latter refinement. Or, the bad grade/high school friend makeover.

This is a terrible look for her.
LaVida 6 years
To much eye makeup and too chalky a lip. I love her nautilus earrings though! She doesn't look that happy in pictures lately. I wonder if her marriage is having a rough patch.
Toveracre 6 years
I'm sad to see her look so off, shes always been so on point.
kaenai 6 years
This look with the nude lip doesn't look good. A tiny bit more pink in that pout might have saved it. Still, she looks okay.
amariexxo 6 years
The eye make up looks messy and poorly done.
tmmkitten 6 years
too heavy, and the lip is all wrong. nude doesn't mean beige.
littlemissme 6 years
I really hate "nude" lips like that, don't get the "buzz" about that style...you look dead wearing that color :(
aimeeb 6 years
SMG, this makes me sad. I normally love her look.
coachluvr33 6 years
Too zombie like for me.
sofi 6 years
it's just too much on her eyes. A little less smoky because she looks like she has two shiners!
marcella 6 years
She looks like a 1970s porn star in the pic. If that's what she's going for, hey, more power.
hottpink 6 years
I like the eyes and the lips...but separately! I do LOVE the color of her lips though. Bella-Can you suggest a similar color?
glam-sugar 6 years
This isn't a good look.
ccsugar 6 years
I think if she had used just a liiiiiittle less eye makeup, this would look awesome.
ktownpolarbear 6 years
definitely agree with desodaro. looks like she belongs in some scary movie.
desodaro 6 years
she looks a little zombie-ish to me...definitely has a dead thing going on
fleurfairy 6 years
I agree with Jude C. I love a good smoky eye, but this is a bit much. I thought you were never supposed to extend the eyeshadow to your eyebrow. Bad, bad, bad!
brittanyk 6 years
I think she has on waaay too much eye makeup. I also don't like the lip color..it's just too light. If she would have toned down the eye makeup and maybe used more color on her lips she would have looked better.
sodevlish 6 years
it looks like she did her own makeup for the first time and wanted to try out that 'smokey look' waaaay too intense.
Jude-C 6 years
I generally like smoky eyes and pale lips, but here it just looks like whoever put it on her didn't quite know what they were doing. If they'd gone with just a tad bit less on the eyes, and picked a better shade and texture for her lips--the color she's got on makes her look dead--it would be gorgeous.
GigglyGirl 6 years
She kind of looks like one of the undead. But I think it might all be taken care of with a different lipstick, even if it was one with just a *little* bit of shine.
oh-lady-e 6 years
It's too much eye makeup for her dainty face. Maybe if her hair style wasn't so sleek...
katie_c 6 years
she looks good except for her lips.
flowergirl 6 years
Too much for me.
Shopaholichunny 6 years
Too much eye-makeup. She's still FAB though! :)
almost-famous 6 years
Hey sarah! How's freddie?!! LOL
rumpel2 6 years
bad eye make up!
liltandweave 6 years
Too much eye and not enough lip. :(
Princess-Peach 6 years
She looks frightening here, even though she's so cute usually !
Katikins 6 years
She's gorgeous. They eyes and the blush are great. but the dress is so skin toned she needed a better color on her lips so she wasn't so washed out on the lower half of her face.
Lovely_1 6 years
It would be ok if there was a little bit less! Likeunder her eyes...she looks zombish to me.
SLH04 6 years
Not a good look SMG.
ALSW 6 years
Not a fan. Either the eyes or the lips, but not both.

Instead of reaching for the eye drops from the drug store or doctor, try this recipe using Lavender and (purified) water! (Please be sure you are using Young Living lavender essential oil! Lavender is widely available, but it is one of the most adulterated oils out there. If it is not 100% pure, you could cause more harm than good.)

How to create and use avast! Rescue Disk shipped with avast! 2014?
When a computer is infected with malware, like some kind of lockscreen ransomware which uses a full-screen image or webpage to stop you from accessing anything on your computer, or a file infector which prevents avast! Antivirus from being installed, you can try to remove infected files from your computer by using avast! Rescue Disk shipped with avast! 2014. To do so, please follow these steps:
Create avast! Rescue Disk as a bootable USB flash drive or CD
In order to be able to create avast! Rescue Disk, you'll need another uninfected Windows computer with Internet connection, where you can install avast! 2014, and an empty USB flash drive (500 MB or higher), or alternatively a blank recordable CD with CD/DVD-writer and burning software that is capable of writing CD images in ISO file format. When it's ready, please follow these steps:
If you have chosen Recordable CD as your target media type for avast! Rescue Disk, you have to burn the ISO file you just created, on a blank recordable CD using CD/DVD-writer and burning software that is capable of writing CD images in ISO file format. On computers running:
Start up your computer from external bootable media with avast! Rescue Disk
Once you have created avast! Rescue Disk you'll need to ensure that the infected computer will boot from the external USB flash drive or CD with avast! Rescue Disk instead of the internal hard drive with infected Windows. To do so, please follow these steps:
If you cannot find how to access the Boot Menu and boot from external USB flash drive or CD, please refer to the computer's user guide, or documentation on manufacturer's website, or try to contact manufacturer's support. Computer manufactured around year 2001 or before may not have ability to boot from USB flash drive.
Scan your computer for viruses using avast! Rescue Disk
Once you have started avast! Rescue Disk wizard on the infected computer from the external USB flash drive or CD, you'll need to scan your files to check if there are any viruses on the computer. To do so, please follow these steps:
Repair or delete infected files using avast! Rescue Disk
Once you have finished the scanning of the infected computer, avast! Rescue Disk wizard shows you how many infected files were found. If there are any files indentified as infected, you can select one of these two options to remove the infection:
As soon as the computer is restarted you can remove the external USB flash drive/CD with avast! Rescue Disk from USB port/CD-DVD drive.

If you've driven down Olive Boulevard in the last few days, you may have noticed the sign: Potbelly Sandwhich Works is coming "Soonish".
The eatery, approved to take over part of the former Provisions market space at CityPlace, is now showing signs of construction activity. Franchise owner Todd Stimson says the restaurant is planning on an opening in late July, after first targeting the early part of the month.
Fork & Screen
The AMC Theatres' proposal to provide a sit-down dining experience for moviegoers at the company's 16 screen complex on Olive Boulevard received final approval last week from the Creve Coeur City Council. A company executive has said that the concept, which would ultimately include every screen in the theatre, could be phased in over time with the first areas ready in time for the Christmas holiday movie season.
Plans for a conditional use permit for a Goodcents sandwhich shop on North New Ballas received first reading at Creve Coeur City Council last week, with a second reading likely June 11.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - The Sheboygan Police Department is ramping up their efforts to avoid retaliation from Sunday morning's fatal shooting that took place at the south-side Sheboygan Wal-Mart. Police Chief Chris Domagalski tells WHBL News they have confirmed that the shooting was gang related, and there could be retaliation by rival gang members. Domagalski says anytime something like this happens, there is posturing on both sides, and they are working to stay ahead of things and send out the proper message to other gang members to try and prevent it. The 21 year old shooter is being held in the county jail, awaiting formal charges for fatally wounding 20 year old Pheng Lee and injuring a 21 year old Sheboygan man during the altercation Sunday morning.

Size: 33,843 acres.
Location: San Bernardino County; 50 miles west of Needles, California (Note: Boundary set backs from roads or trails are 30 to 300 feet)
Area Description :
The Clipper Mountain Wilderness encompasses 35,731 acres (approximate) of rugged yellow and dark brown, horizontally striped mesas; narrow canyons with hidden springs; and sparsely vegetated alluvial fans. The small cluster of volcanic mountains is oriented northeast to southwest. In the center, the most prominent ridge, Clipper Mountain, reaches an elevation of 4,625 feet before it dramatically drops off in series of sharp cliffs overlooking the Clipper and Fenner Valleys. Castle Dome, a local landmark, can be clearly seen from Historic Route 66 to the south and east. The vegetation types are predominantly creosote bush desert scrub and desert wash scrub. In the spring, the alluvial fans turn yellow with brittlebush and other wildflowers. Wildlife is typical for the Mojave Desert; including a herd of 40-50 bighorn sheep, coyote, black-tailed jackrabbits, ground squirrels, kangaroo rats, roadrunners, chucker, quail, prairie falcons, red-tailed hawks, golden eagles, rattlesnakes, and several species of lizards. The entire wilderness is considered critical habitat for the threatened desert tortoise.
Getting There : This wilderness is approximately 28 miles east of Ludlow, California and South of Interstate 40. Access the southern boundary from Route 66, east from the Ludlow to Danby Road. Go north 2.3 miles on this dirt road to the intersection of the Southern California Gas Pipeline, which forms the southern boundary of the wilderness. A high clearance vehicle is recommended. Parking is not permitted along the pipeline road right of way, therefore, you must be dropped off and picked up.
Nonfederal Lands: Private lands may lie within the wilderness area. Please respect the owner and do not use these lands without permission.
Additional Information :
Area Management
Permits are required for commercial or organized activities.
Recreational Opportunities
Hiking, horseback riding, hunting, camping, rock hounding, photography, and backpacking are examples of activities that can be enjoyed in this wilderness.
Climate and Special Equipment Needs
Temperatures are fairly mild in the early spring, late fall, and winter; generally 30-80?F. Summer temperatures are extremely hot. Temperatures are commonly over 115?F and can get well over 120?F. Always carry water; desert springs are not reliable water sources.
Signs indicating "Wilderness" and "Closed Road" or "Closed Route" are placed at various intervals. Vehicles can be parked outside the wilderness boundary; however, the boundary is set back 30 feet from unmaintained dirt roads and 300 feet on paved roads.
Mechanized or motorized vehicles are NOT PERMITTED in a wilderness.
Hunting, fishing, and non-commercial trapping are allowed under state and local laws.
Pet are allowed, but please keep your pets under control at all times.
Horses are permitted, however you may be required to carry feed.
Removal, disturbance, or attempting to remove archaelogical materials is a felony. Selling, receiving, purchasing, transporting, exchanging or offering to do so is prohibited by law.
CAMPING: Camping is permitted, limited to 14 days. After 14 days, campers must relocate at least 25 miles from previous site.
Help BLM preserve California's fragile deserts. Please park your vehicle or set up camp in previously disturbed sites.
Gathering wood for campfires, when permitted, is limited to dead and down materials. Do not cut live vegetation.
The BLM encourages all desert recreationists and travelers exploring public lands, not only within southern California but through the west, to use propylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant in their touring and recreation vehicles. Proven safer, it will have minimal impacts on the wildlife and the environment should a leak occur.

I Love Lunch3 Reviews
"So, that means we have the entire house to ourselves right?" He asked. "I guess so."
"Alright class, I want you to finish this for homework, to be handed in next lesson." Gerard's English teacher said as the bell for lunch. Gerard packed up the picture he was working on throughout both Art and English and headed for the tree which Frank and him sat. Through the hallways, people were staring at him and whispering. The girl from his art class walked towards her friends, who were staring at Gerard and told them,
"Stop staring. He got on Lynd-z's bad side. He's not gay." She said, loud enough for him to hear and he smiled in appreciation. The girl gasped softly as this was the first time she had ever seen Gerard smile.
As he reached the tree he saw Frank sitting underneath it, waiting for him. Frank looked up and saw Gerard. He jumped up and ran over to him.
"What do you have next?" Frank said excitedly.
"Ummm, I think I have a free..."
"YES!" Frank exclaimed. "Come on!" He said, pulling Gerard's arm towards the schools gate.
"W-Where are we going?" Gerard asked.
"To get lunch!" Frank said.
"Won't we get in trouble or something?"
"Nope. If you have lunch, then a free, you're aloud to leave the school grounds and get something to eat. Just as long as we get back in time for our next class that's all." Frank explained as they left school grounds, along with other students that had a free next. The walked to Franks car and got in and headed to the mall.
"Did anyone ask you about...us?" Frank asked Gerard as they sat down at a spare table after getting a coffee from Starbucks.
"Yeah. But I think, by tomorrow, no one will believe it." Gerard said, taking a sip of his Iced Moccha.
"What makes you say that?"
"A girl asked me about it in Art, and I told her that Lynd-z couldn't get her way, I called you to pick me up and take me home and she then got the shits." Gerard said with a smile.
"Ha. And that makes you think that no one will believe that we are together, how?"
"She's already going around telling people it's not true. We are in the clear." Gerard said, his smile getting wider, causing Frank to break out in a wide smile as well. "Wanna head back to my place next?" Gerard asked.
"Sure." Frank smiled. They both got up and went back to Frank's car to go to Gerard's house. When they go in the car, Frank's phone began to ring.
Can you feel her running through your veins? She will always live forever!
Can you feel her running through your veins? She will always live forever!
"Oh great." Frank sighed as he answered the phone.
"Thanks for waiting for me Frank!"
"I'm sorry Ray. I guess I kinda..."
"What? Forgot about your best friend? Thanks a heap."
"No Ray! How can I forget about you? You know I..."
"Yes, I know how you can be! You're with someone aren't you?"
"Yeah kinda..."
"Just tell me next time so I don't have to stand at the tree for 20 minutes."
"Yeah. I will. Sorry again Ray."
"No prob. Just a little bit of notice is nice. Thats all. Have fun with Gerard."
"What makes you think I'm with Gerard?" Frank asked as he stared at Gerard.
"I'm not stupid. I asked if anyone had seen you and they said that you left with Gerard at the beginning of lunch."
"Oh yeah."
"Talk to you later."
"See ya." Frank hung up his phone and put it in his pocket before starting the engine.
"Ray not happy?" Gerard asked.
"Not at all." Frank replied as they headed in the direction to Gerard's house.
"Mikey!?" Gerard called out as they walked inside, as Mikey usually came home for lunch. There was no responce, so Gerard went to Mikey's room to check if he was there. There was a note on his door reading
'Gone out with Alicia.
Be home for dinner.
Please dont tell mum and dad I skipped.
Gerard read it out to Frank and Frank smiled wildly.
"So, that means we have the entire house to ourselves right?" He asked.
"I guess so." Gerard said as they entered his room. As soon as Gerard put his bag on the floor, he felt Frank tackle him onto his bed, latching his lips onto Gerards. Gerard felt a little strange at first, before relaxing and began to kiss Frank back passionatly. When Frank's tongue licked Gerard's bottom lip, begging for entrance, Gerard broke the kiss.
"Umm, I don't know...." Gerard began before Frank placed a finger on his lips, quieting him.
"Shhh..." he said before lightly placing kisses on Gerard's lips and slowly moving down Gerard's neck as he unbuttoned Gerard's shirt. When all the buttons were undone, Frank ran his fingers along Gerard's torso with a feather light touch, causing Gerard to shiver. Frank traced his tongue along Gerard's collarbone and found a spot that will be hidden by shirts and began to suck wildly, making Gerard moan uncontrollably. When Frank pulled away, there was a large red mark left.
"You are now officially mine." Frank whispered in Gerard's ear as he traced the red mark with his finger lightly. Gerard smirked and flipped them over, causing him to be on top and a startled Frank to be underneath.
"Woh, easy cowboy." Frank teased as Gerard ripped Frank's shirt open and immediately began to attack Frank's neck with his teeth. Frank let out a loud moan as Gerard bit hardly onto the base of Frank's neck, which covered the sound of his phone ringing.
"Come on Frank. Answer your damn phone." Ray muttered as he waited for Frank to pick up his phone.
Hey this is Frank. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Or not. Beeeep.
"Frank, it's Ray. You only have 5 minutes to get back to school or you'll be in for it. And I don't think Gerard needs to get in trouble for you being a slow coach as always. See ya." Ray finished and hung up.
"Hey Ray!" A perky voice said behind him.
"Oh hey Alice. What's up?"
"Nothing much. You?"
"Nothing. Just trying to warn Frank that the bells about to go. But he's not picking up." Ray explained.
"Oh. Did you hear the rumour?" Alice asked.
"Which one? People can't keep their mouths shut these days."
"About Frank and Gerard?"
"Okay well, this chick sent this email around saying that Frank and Gerard are together. But Jessica asked Gerard if it was true and…"
"Wait? Frank and Gerard are…together?" Ray asked in disbelief.
"No. That's what I was about to tell you. He denied it. Apparently the chick who wrote it couldn't get Gerard into her bed so she got shitty and started it."
"I swear when I find out who wrote that about my mate, she's in for it. And I don't care if she's a girl. She's dead." Ray mumbled to himself.
"What was that Ray?" Alice asked him, only catching the words 'mate', 'for' and 'dead'.
"Nothing. Thanks for letting me know Alice." Ray said as the bell went for class.
"No problems Ray. I'll see ya later yeah?"
"Yeah. Bye."
A/N: There you go guys! Hope its long enough for you!
I'm soo sorry that I haven't been able to update, but year 12 is really killing me at the moment XP But I promise that I will update as soon as I possibly can!
