The differences between a rollbar and a rollcage are the number of connections or points between the structure and the vehicle and the ability of the bar or 'cage to protect you from additional crash angles. Generally, the 'cage will have 8 to 10 or more points and the bar can have as few as 5. The 'cage will usually have a forward hoop that runs from the main hoop to two forward down bars. 'Cages might also have sill bars and dash bars and will need to be SFI certified and stickered every three years. For most classes, if your car runs faster than 9.99, you will need a 'cage. This NHRA illustration represents a typical rollbar designed for a car that has a stock firewall and floor and runs between 10.00 and 10.99. This is the bar that is going into the CC/Rambler.

Cheyenne mod earns EASA ticket
After 11 years in the aircraft modification business, Blackhawk Modifications (Booth No. 8227) has announced the European certification of its latest project, the XP engine upgrade for the Piper Cheyenne. The EASA certification covers the Cheyenne I, II and IIXL models of the twin-engine turboprop, which replaces the aircraft's original engines with factory new 750-shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-135As.
Blackhawk's approach has been to replace lower-power P&WC engines with higher powered mills that use the original engine's footprint, thus delivering a simplified bolt-on upgrade. The performance increase with the XP mod comes from the new engines being flat-rated to the Cheyenne's airframe horsepower limit, which provides an increase in available torque in the climb and cruise phases. The net result is an advertised maximum cruise speed in the 280-knot range for all Cheyenne models, plus reduced time to climb and extended range.
The XP upgrade offers the operator the option of higher cruising speed or reduced fuel consumption at lower cruise speeds with reduced operating and maintenance costs. Resale value is also enhanced with the more powerful engines; valuation guides such as Vref and Aircraft Bluebook show upgraded legacy aircraft remain competitive in today's market.
Blackhawk, which is headquartered in Waco, Tex., offers similar engine upgrades to other popular turboprops such as Beechcraft's King Air 90 and 200, Cessna's Conquest I and the single-engine Caravan.

Snap this up! 1988 BMW M5
You can afford the world's fastest sedan (now that it's 25 years old).
By April 12, 2013 / Photos by Jason Cammisa
Why you want it: The E28-chassis M5 (sold in America in 1988 only) is a rewarding drive at or beyond its impressive limits. Like most M5s, the E28 prefers to go everywhere sideways, but its also happy as a quiet high-speed cruiser. Best of all, its 24-valve six came from the M1 supercar: Where else can you get six throttles and a 150-mph top speed for the price of a used Honda?
Why its a deal: Unlike the first-generation (E30) M3, the first M5 is just beginning to appreciate.
What to pay: $10,000$18,000, depending on condition.
Rarity: Only 1236 of these hand-built glories were brought to the United States. Each was painted black and outfitted with a tan leather interior. A handful were supposedly gray-market imported with black leather.
Watch out for: High-mileage M5s can have tired cylinder heads and timing chains. M-specific engine parts can be pricey, so preventive maintenance is important. Beware of rust in rockers, doors, trunk, fenderspretty much everywhere.
What we said then: It begs to be pushed, to be cornered fast; and with that precise gear change and an engine that revels in being revved, its almost impossible to resist the temptation. (April 1986)
Vital Stats
- Engine 3.5-liter, 24-valve inline-six, 256 hp, 243 lb-ft
- Transmission five-speed manual
- Weight 3420 lb

The Smirking Pig's Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
This is my tried and true macaroni and cheese recipe. You can eschew eggs and fancy cheeses. All you need is
- 4 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cups of whole milk
- 1 pound of extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated (should be two cups)
- 1 pound of mild cheddar cheese, grated (should be two cups)
- 1 pound box dried macaroni
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter over medium heat in large saucepan. Once melted add flour and cayenne pepper to make a roux. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook roux until it takes a nice deep blonde color, about 5–7 minutes. Don't let it get to dark (a dark roux won't thicken properly).
- Add milk to the roux, half a cup at a time, stirring until smooth before adding next addition. The mixture should be smooth and thick. If it's too thick, add more milk in 1/4 cup increments. If it's too thin, you will have to start over.
- Once your bechamel is to your liking, begin to add the grated cheeses in small increments, stirring each addition until smooth and incorporated. When finished, reduce heat to low.
- Cook macaroni according to directions on box. Drain and rinse.
- Add cheese sauce to macaroni. Bake in ove proof dish for 30 minutes until slightly firm. Top with additional cheddar cheese if you like.

Winery of the Week
Kenwood's Jack London Connection
The evolution of this humble board-and-batten winery, established by the Pagani family of Italy in 1905, and aquired by six enthusiastic winelovers from San Francisco in 1970, follows the penciled observations in Jack London's "Confessions": "The stairway of Time is ever echoing with the wooden shoe going up, the polished boot descending." The Pagani jug-wine aged in redwood is being transformed into Kenwood noble varietals finished in classic oak.
...1978, "California Wines," R.L. Balzer
Jack London's grand-nephew, Milo Shepard, was born on the Jack London Ranch in the "Valley of the Moon," the Indian name for the Sonoma Valley. Milo, manager of the 125-acre vineyard, says that "as long as I can remember, there were vineyards on the land," including gnarled old Zinfandel vines.
...1988, S.F. Examiner, Jim Wood
The Jack London Ranch Zinfandel grapes, sold exclusively to Kenwood, makes a wine of great distinction and power.
..."Wine Atlas of California," James Halliday
Kenwood Milestones
1900—Jack London publishes "The Son of the Wolf," the first of his 50 books.
1905—Julius Pagani, whose family has made wine for generations, arrives from Italy and establishes his modest winery in the Sonoma Valley.
1910—San Francisco-born Jack London, S.F. Examiner journalist and rising adventure novelist, buys a large tract for his ranch north of the Pagani Winery. Prior to such success, his odd jobs included that of "oyster pirate," robbing the nets of oyster fishermen at night and selling them early at market.
1970—Julius Pagani passes away and John Sheela, from a Central Valley grape-growing family, puts together a partnership that includes college roomate Marty Lee, and research chemist Dr. Bob Kozlowski, their first winemaker.
1976—Critic Pat Latimer writes that the new winery is enjoying "remarkable success." One of the keys is the Jack London Ranch vineyard, which grows not only Zin but half a dozen other varieties including outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. 1995—The "remarkable success" continues, with the winery writing me that "there's been such a rush on our wines we've not had time to answer your inquiry. A very large order cleared out our Zinfandel inventory. Our single vineyard wines have been snapped up by the distributors. Needless to say, it's been an excellent year." And that's our story of moving from wooden shoes to polished boots.
Just The Facts
Name—Kenwood Vineyards
About that first winemaker, Dr. Bob Koslowski, I worked for him for five years. I've never seen him happier than the time the White House phoned to say they were going to serve his Dry Chenin Blanc at a State Dinner.

The AFC Championship game is finally upon us and so far both teams have come out and given their opening statements. The Patriots went three-and-out on their first drive, with LeGarrette Blount getting stuffed by the Broncos defense.
The Broncos first drive of the game was a little more successful.
No points have been scored yet, but statements are being made early. After a great game last week by Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib, Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker made it his business to let him know he won't be bullied today.
The catch and run alone were pretty good, as Decker is clearly loose and ready to roll. Lowering the boom on Talib was just for fun and was meant to show that the Broncos are her to play and play hard.

I'm all for free-range parenting and independent kids. But can that sense of independence go too far? Like, three miles too far?
Little 2-year-old Noah Joel of Hameln, Germany was worried about his sick grandma. So he decided to hop on his little toddler bike and ride across town to visit her at the hospital. Because that's just what you do, right?
THREE MILES LATER the police found the kid after people spotted him criss-crossing a street several times looking lost.
His poor mom. She thought he was just playing in his room. But then she went to check on him and noticed he and his wheels were missing. Naturally Noah ran out of the house without shoes on, but he did think to pack a few snacks in his backpack. Priorities!
And by the way, the only reason why he didn't make it all the way to the hospital is because his bike isn't outfitted with GPS like all vehicles should be -- that's what he told the police. (Also, I'm pretty sure Noah would want me to point out that he does not ride a tricycle. He rides one of those groovy no-pedal balance toddler bikes that Germans credit with teaching young kids how to ride without ever using training wheels.)
Okay, and the cherry on the top of this crazy toddler story sundae is that this is the Hameln/Hamelin made famous by the tale of the Pied Piper. You know, the guy who plays the flute and makes all the kids just walk out of town? It's like Noah was following the Pied Piper!
Anyway, we can all laugh now because Noah is safe and nothing bad happened to him. Phew. But can you imagine the confidence this kid has? I know so many clingy toddlers. Hell, I know so many clingy kids! But this guy -- he's Mr. Independent. I just hope his grandma is feeling better. This story should at least give her a big laugh and make her feel loved!
Would your toddler ever do anything this independent?
Image via valentinapowers/Flickr
OMG this is too cute... I mean, dangerous as hell, but cute... Just one question though, is 3 miles not far in Germany because to me, 3 miles on a bike for a 2 year old would take atleast 45-60 minutes which is kinda a long time, wouldn't you say?
In any event, I am happy that he's safe & his mom better hide that bike :-)
It all goes back to the old logic "If they're being too quiet, something's wrong!" I'm very glad this little boy is okay - betcha his parents are investing in some serious door security locks now. :-)
me and hubs both call bs. i have a two year old and theres no way he would do all that planing and make it out of the house..where was the mom????
Someone took the Little Red Riding Hood "let's go visit sick Grandma" to the extreme.
Keep in mind that culture surrounding children is different in Germany, they don't hover, and it's not uncommon for their kids to play quietly for stretches of time. No need to call BS :-)

Arthur de Soultrait Defends Pippa Middleton, Apologizes For Gun Indicentby Free Britney at . Comments
Arthur de Soultrait, a friend of Pippa Middleton, is coming to her defense after one of their friends, Romain Rabillard, aimed a gun at photographers last weekend.
Romain, Arthur, Pippa and one other individual are now subject to potential prosecution for the bizarre scandal, which shocked the French, US and UK media.
Although Kate Middleton's 28-year-old sister has yet to address the scandal, Soultrait was apologetic in a statement on Wednesday, in which he defended her.
He also said the gun wielded at celebrity news media was fake.
"Last Saturday I was in a car with Philippa Middleton, and we were being followed by the paparazzi," Soultrait explains of the late night/early-morning incident.
"The car was being driven by a friend of mine, whom Pippa had only met a few hours before," Soultrait, 30, said of Romain Rabillard, a 36-year-old attorney.
"As a joke, my friend brandished a toy pistol in their direction."
"Obviously Philippa had no idea that he had the pistol, or that he was going to do that, and told him to stop immediately. She did not find it funny."Pippa was seen smiling in the gun photo that surfaced after the incident, but it's unclear if she was smiling at that specifically, or who knew what.
There have also been reports that the paparazzo in question knew the piece was fake and laughed it off, rather than feeling threatened in the least.
Reports of Pippa facing criminal charges may be overblown, but she's faced plenty of public backlash, and her sister's royal in-laws surely aren't thrilled.
Giving the Best Man's speech at a weinddg. Is that something that fills you with dread, or is it something that you expect to do at some point in your life. What would you do if tomorrow your best friend gives you a call to announce that he is going to get married to the girl he has been dating for the last couple of years, and he wants you to be the best man. He tells you he is confident he has made the right choice (in selecting you as his best man, not in selecting his partner for life) and will leave it up to you to come up with the perfect weinddg speech. It's a sudden announcement; the weinddg is to be held in a matter of weeks. The pressure is on. How do you come up with the perfect weinddg speech in such a short time? Is the Internet the answer?
I love you Pippa. I had a dream about me having a fabolous but. But after reading about year adventure I can imaging why I had that dream. You all did what you did; 3 guys with you Pippa. I did some similar thing some month ago being pissed up with the laws in my country telling them I would do all in my power to change the law threathing them with a non physcial shotgun too. Photographers and media can be a bit too noisy about personal affairs. You made them understand it better then ever before since the tragic death of Diana. Thank you so very much. Pippi
Dude, the Duchess IS Kate Middleton...who is Pipps's sister!!!
Ok let's get the facts straight - -she is NOT Kate MIDDLETON's sister she is the Duchess of Cambridge's sister. Get your facrt straight.
Who gives a shit about this hag? She's only relevant because of her sister. Next!!!

Supermodel Style- Claudia Schiffer and Yasmin Le Bon Get Casual Chic Right
I'll Have What She's Having: Age-appropriate fashion. We get so caught up in red carpet fashion, but it's everyday style that most of us need!SSure, it's fun to ogle red carpet fashion and photos of today's young crop of models, but what's supposed to inspire a real woman over 30ish?Really, when was the last time you wore a ballgown or a pair of cut-off shorts and thigh high boots? Not too recently, I'll bet. We need grown-up ageless style that we can wear everyday of our life, not in some fantasy. We are old enough to see trivial trends come and go and savvy enough to know what works on our body… what we want is realistic fashion without an expiration date!So how about considering the everyday timeless style of Nineties supermodels Claudia Schiffer and Yasmin Le Bon?

UNITAR hosts Duke University' course on Humanitarian Assistance: Policy, Law and Practice
June 22nd-26th 2009
UNITAR Programme UNOSAT has been a regular feature in the humanitarian courses offered by Duke University's Institute of Public Policy. This year, thanks to an institutional agreement between UNITAR and Duke's, the course takes place on the Institute premises in Geneva.
UNITAR warmly welcomes Duke's students and teachers and takes pleasure in creating this new opportunity for knowledge transfer between the Institute and a prestigious University.
Course Outline
Program on Global Policy and Governance
Offered by Duke University's Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, the Program on Global Policy and Governance isdesigned to expose future international policy leaders to the field of global governance and policy from an academic and experiential perspective. In addition to the Geneva Policy Internships, a major element of the Program is the course International Humanitarian Assistance: Policy, Law and Practice as described in this outline and syllabus.
Course Description
This course is intended to provide students with a thorough introduction to international humanitarian assistance covering legal aspects and major practical and policy considerations with regard to implementation. The course is practitioner oriented with a strong foundation in both academic theory and current events.
The course begins by outlining the framework of international human rights law and other branches of international law relevant to humanitarian assistance including international humanitarian law and refugee law. In doing so, it discusses major humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. Given their current international relevance, it also presents a brief history and the main elements behind the notion of "human security" and the highly debated principle of the "right to protect".
The course continues by exploring key considerations regarding the implementation of humanitarian assistance, including early warning systems, and operational challenges such as timely response and unhindered access; funding; coordination and cooperation; political considerations; the relationship between humanitarian assistance and longer-term sustainable development. In doing so, it looks at the many actors that play a part in providing humanitarian assistance ranging from the United Nations to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to non-governmental actors.
Finally, the course considers those who are specifically affected by humanitarian crises and specific approaches to respond to their situations. It looks at protection and assistance for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs); and the special needs of particularly vulnerable groups including women and children.
The course will include institutional briefings and class lectures from experienced high-level practitioners. These interactive presentations will encourage students to apply the knowledge they have acquired to actual and hypothetical situations with case studies of modern humanitarian crises and "hands on" exercises.

Guam - University of Guam scientists gathered Wednesday to
discuss efforts to eradicate the brown tree snake. U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service coordinator for brown tree snake control Dr. Earl Campbell said, "I
guess one of the main things that's important to update is how successful are
the people here on the ground are at what they do and in this case we have
folks that are doing the brown tree snake control at the ports and airports
trying to stop snakes from getting off Guam."
Campbell adds that brown tree
snakes have killed off almost a dozen species of the island's birds. They are
also known to cause power outages.

What is life supposed to be?
I find that very question is a false illusion. A picture of life is artificially manufactured through envy, greed, lust, power, among other things
We look at what other people have and we aspire towards it. We add different parameters of life from other people and their accomplishments. We look at others and compare our lives to theirs, and feel unsatisfied with our lives.
After all, others lives are beautiful to see aren't they? They seem so perfect, we see all the beauty in them. We don't see their hardship, we don't see what they had to go through to achieve what they did. We see the beauty because that is what they want to show us. We see love, power, wealth, and we aspire towards it because it is shown-off.
It is the culture of this society, to show off. Whether it is love, or money, or power. Under the guise of freedom of expression, everything is allowed. The haves show off, and the have-nots feel envious.
Thus a picture is manufactured in the minds of those who do not have. Out of envy, out of ambition and, most importantly, out of the showing-off of those who have. It is a picture that tells us we should have this. This is what living life means. Sooner or later, something new comes along which is added to the picture as well. We are never satisfied.
The grand reality of it all is much different. This is all an illusion, this is only temporary. Once that is realized, these expressions of love, power, and wealth become meaningless. They become trivial.
Everything in our perfect picture of life is temporary. It doesn't define what life is. The grand reality of this life is death. It is assured to us all. What matters is the afterlife. That is what we should add to our picture of life. Not the wealth of others, nor the lust of lovers, nothing but death and what follows death. When we realize this, we will know to work towards that afterlife. The illusion of life will be shattered, we will constantly work towards afterlife.
Of course, along the way, it is good to have wealth, it is good to experience love, it is good to have power. But all those things should be secondary to the grand reality of afterlife. They should not be achieved by giving up on afterlife. Rather they should be achieved in a way that will make the afterlife better for us.

The Biggest Little City is buzzing this weekend for the 32nd annual Great Italian Festival in downtown Reno.
"It's about family," said Gregg Carano with the Eldorado Hotel and Casino. "Reno-Sparks family. Northern Nevada family. Everybody's coming out and being Italian for a day."
Thousands of Italians by blood, or by honorary title, are in our area from across the country to experience the culture Reno offers. Organizers say these people bring a big boost to our local economy.
"Downtown Reno is rocking today," Carano said. "Our casinos are doing great."
Vendors say they're doing great as well. Bits And Baubles has seen a lot of people come through their tent to check out what they have to offer.
"We don't have any figures, but it's overwhelming," said Lucy Walker of Bits And Baubles. "We've been really busy."
"We haven't stopped from the minute we got here," added Nancy Nelson, also of Bits And Baubles.
Of course, the festival has so many food options from calamari to chicken parmigiana, along with all kinds of pasta. The downtown Reno streets are packed with everything Italian from the music to a car display that features Ferraris, a Lamborghini and a Lancia. There's also bocce ball tournaments, along with grape stomping contests. The wine walk along Virginia and 3rd streets was also popular. People lined up to sample what the 10 winemakers offered.
A number of people from out of town told me it was worth spending the money to come to Reno.
"It seems like a fortune, but it's been worth every penny," said Drew Moore of Grand Junction, Colorado. "We're staying at the Eldorado, the host. The room is great. The restaurants are great."
"I've been shopping, buying all kinds of Italian memorabilia," said Margaret Lubien of San Diego, California. "Lots of food, lots of wine, things to bring back home to the family."
This is Lubien's first time to the festival. She flew in from California to spend time with her family who's been to the event a number of times in the past.
"The opportunity to share that with my family has been really sweet," she said.

Moving and Storage: Padded Dish Holders
Packing is a pain, especially when it comes to stacks of dishes. We're in the process of moving, and we just pulled out our padded china cozies. They hold our expensive dishes all the time but are especially comforting when we schlep china across town.
Yes, we know, we have a lot of china. See what it looks like below...
These containers come in all shapes and sizes, and they have slips of foam that slide between each dish. Simple design, but very effective. They make it easy to safely pull down a whole stack of dishes and keep plates dust and dirt free.
They would certainly be useful for everyday plates, not just special occasion ones. And this 6-piece Natural Cotton China Storage Set is on sale right now for $21.99 at The Container Store:
For more good tips and ideas on moving your kitchen, see this post:

I bought these. We'll see how it goes when I haul all my stuff out of storage in August!
Sigh. I had an awesome set of these that housed my gorgeous 70's floral dishes, and when I gave them away (because my husband thought they were hideous, as I thought his were), the padded storage containers went with them. For the entire 12 set (including creamer and sugar, serving bowls, casseroles...)! I miss the dishes, but I miss the padded storage containers more.
I'm quite sure we couldn't find storage containers big enough to fit our new dishes - they're from Pottery Barn and the "dinner plates" are too big to fit in standard kitchen cabinets (no joke! we walked into the store after receiving them and the sales lady walked up to us and knew exactly what our problem was without our having to tell her). I doubt we'll be able to find nice storage containers for our upcoming move.
However, if anyone knows of containers that will fit our dishes, please let me know, because we bought some extras that are already sitting in storage and will stay there until we break a dish, and I'd like to keep them safe and protected.
Hah at first glance I thought these were dilapidated wedding cakes.
Sometimes I think the folks at Kitchn are mind-readers. Just yesterday, at Target, I was looking for these, to store my dishes during my kitchen renovation. Off to Container Store I go! Thanks, y'all!

James Brown is an acclaimed British textile and surface print designer who has worked in the clothing industry for 10 years. His previous projects include producing print designs for numerous brands, from Levis to Louis Vuitton, and also commissioned prints for the Victoria & Albert Museum shop.
James has teamed up with Pitfield London to present an exhibition of prints which will be held in the in-store gallery from the 1st until the 31st of March. This new collection of artworks consists of a series of colourful alphabet linocuts which reflect the artist's interest in the printed and typographic ephemera of pop culture.
The artworks are printed using the linocut technique in two colours, but engineered so as to only use one plate to create each piece. The first colour is applied, then the lino plate is rotated and the second colour is overlaid. Depending on the letter, the first colour printed is either half of the finished character or acts as a background texture. Playing with levels of the inks opacity allows a third colour to be created and is vital to the readability of each letter.
All the prints are hand-made using traditional techniques, and these incredible limited edition pieces will be available for purchase at the exhibition.
On the evening of Thursday 6th March from 6pm-9pm, the exhibition will be celebrated with a private view party, and you're invited! Please RSVP by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
For in-store enquiries regarding James Brown + Pitfield London please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0207 490 6852

4 girls' homes - Phase 1
We raised the funds to build four girls' homes to give 60 girls a second chance at childhood. It was so successful we are doing it again this year for boys
Boys are phase three of our network of children who will become the adults defeating the causes of poverty around them. Boys complete the network.
Boys in coastal Kenya are sold into child labor or are sexually abused with nobody to defend their rights.
Often when we rescue a girl from an abusive situation there is a man involved. By raising boys correctly we don't just postpone abuse of girls, we prevent it.
Nearly all the homes around us are for girls. Often when we rescue a girl there is also a brother. What do we do for him?
Breaking Ground is our biggest campaign of the year, and you have made it bigger every year. Here's what past campaigns have done
We raised the funds to build four girls' homes to give 60 girls a second chance at childhood. It was so successful we are doing it again this year for boys
We raised the funds for the other buildings and amenities for a school for 900. It is due to open in 2014
We raised the funds to build 24 classrooms in our first school for girls and boys.
We raised the funds to sustain our homes and school so we can move on to Phase 3 this year.
This year we are building four boys' homes to complete the network of children who will be the adults defeating the causes of the poverty they were born into.
The homes we are building are designed to last. We've sourced materials that are not only durable and intended to last for decades to come, but we've gotten our materials down to $60 per square foot. Compare that to the average of $1,000 per square foot in new york city
We work local and western architects and contractors to design and construct the best living environments built for the long term. And local labor to provide local jobs.
We hire local carpenters to make high quality durable furniture at a much lower cost than buying.
We are building homes to make boys feel like children in a family not orphans in an institution and our amenities reflect that.
Designed exclusively by DWNY for Many Hopes.
Hear Hear.
Drink the marrow out of life.
We're glad to have you back.
We'll take you to Kenya to see what you've accomplished. It will feel good, very good.

Exclusions from school
Exclusion from school is a complex area. Misunderstandings between young people, their parents/carers and YOT staff can lead to mis-reporting of a young person's educational status.
Children and young people not receiving education
The statutory guidance for local authorities in England was revised, after a public consultation, in 2008. The new guidance strengthens the requirements of local authorities to keep children and young people safe, and placing a greater responsibility on them to quickly identify and provide support for children and young people who are not receiving a suitable education. Many of these children and young people have been excluded from school and are at risk of entrance to the criminal justice system.
The YJB welcomes this revision as it strongly reflects their evidence and experience of the needs of excluded children and young people. It also supports the YJB's objectives within PSAs 14 and 23 (to prevent first-time entry to the criminal justice system and reducing reoffending).
Young people can be excluded from school either permanently or for a fixed period. In the case of a fixed-period exclusion, a young person would be forbidden from attending school for a specified number of days, up to a maximum of 45 days in a school year. It is important to note that while a young person is excluded from school but remains on the school roll, the school has the responsibility to set and mark appropriate work. This applies to young people who are awaiting the final decision with regard to a permanent exclusion, as well as those on fixed-period exclusions.
In all cases the school must inform parents/carers in writing. This notice should include details of rights of appeal. The governing body and the local authority should be informed each term of all students excluded, but they should be notified as soon as possible of any young person excluded for five days or more, or who would miss a public examination.
If a head teacher decides to exclude a young person permanently, the decision has to be ratified by the governing body of the school. Once this has happened it is the responsibility of the local authority to find an alternative placement for them. This could be in another school, or Pupil Referral Unit, or in some other full-time placement suitable to the needs of the young person. Once a permanent exclusion is ratified by the governing body of the school the young person becomes the responsibility of the local authority and they should provide full-time education within the next 15 days. This threshold will be reduced to five days under provisions in the new Education and Inspections Bill.
Sometimes a young person may say they are excluded when in fact they are still on the roll of a school, but have not attended for a while. This is sometimes called an unofficial or back-door exclusion. This may be the result of a young person being sent home after an instance of poor behaviour, where they have been asked not to return to school until the parent/carer has made an appointment to discuss matters with a senior member of staff. This is not good practice, unless the school makes an urgent effort to engage the parent or carer in a discussion to enable the young person to return to school as soon as possible. This is a situation where young people can easily slip through the net and not return to school.
In the worst cases schools are content for the young person not to return and allow challenging children to fall out of the education system. This is very poor practice and is technically illegal. However the best way forward is to engage the school as an advocate for the family to get them back to school or to negotiate alternative provision if that is more appropriate. This can be more effective than threatening schools with legal action.
Government guidance, issued in October 2008, has cleared up misunderstandings about unofficial exclusions:
- "If the head teacher is satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities, a pupil has committed a disciplinary offence and the pupil is being removed from the school site for that reason, formal exclusion is the only legal method of removal. Informal or unofficial exclusions are illegal regardless of whether they are done with the agreement of parents or carers."
- If it becomes apparent that a child has been unofficially excluded the local authority will need to challenge the school as this practice is unlawful.
- This guidance should help YOTs who have complained that this is a barrier for a significant number of school-age young people.
- Information for parents is available from the Advisory Centre for Education (ACE) exclusions information line, 020 7704 9822, or www.ace-ed.org.uk.
Back on Track
Back on Track was introduced in 2008 as a strategy for developing 'alternative education provision' into a fundamental sector of the mainstream education structure. It is designed to meet the needs of all young people and increase their chances of success.

SC Johnson products are not formulated with these ingredients:
A continuous action toilet cleaner that cleans, freshens and helps prevent stains.
(Provides a liquid base for a product.)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a cleaning agent that can also be found in toothpastes, shampoos, lathers and bubble baths. It removes dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Over the years, Sodium Laureth Sulfate has received some bad press due to emails that began circulating in the late 90s regarding alleged cancer concerns related to Sodium Laurel Sulfate, a different but related ingredient.
(Breaks down dirt and deposits.)
1-(1-Hydroxypropoxy)Propan-1-ol is a cleaning agent that removes dirt and deposits. It does this by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away.
(Adds scent to a product.||Fragrance: Adds scent to a product. About our Palette.)
Ethoxylated Alcohol is a cleaning agent that can also be found in a variety of products including toothpaste and shampoos. It removes dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Ethoxylation is the process of treating a fatty acid alcohol to give it detergent properties.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is a thickener that can also be found in cosmetics and personal care products such as makeup, skin care products and shaving cream. It improves the texture of a product and, as needed in some formulas, helps a product to cling to surfaces such as a toilet bowl. In some products, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose can also be used as a binder, which helps ingredients hold together.
(Improves the texture of the product.)
Etidronic Acid is a chelator that can also be found in soaps, moisturizers and tooth whitening products. It removes soap scum and mineral deposits that are caused by hard water. The word chelator (pronounced "key-lay-tor") comes from the Greek word chele, or claw. Think of a chelator as a tiny claw that reaches out and grabs the minerals in soap scum or soils, to keep them from depositing on a surface. By binding to the soap scum or deposit, Etidronic Acid allows them to be rinsed away.
(Removes soap scum and soils.)
Sodium Hydroxide is a builder that can also be found in detergents and degreasers. It makes a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Sodium Hydroxide can also be a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that's more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that's more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to rust in a can. In high concentrations (such as in drain cleaners), Sodium Hydroxide can also be used as a caustic that helps dissolve organic matter like drain clogs.
(Adjusts the pH of a product to improve stability.)
Benzophenone-12 is a stabilizer that can also be found in perfumes and soaps. It is an anti-oxidant that helps maintain the properties and performance of a product as it is exposed to air, light or heat. This ingredient should not be confused with Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone), which some reports associate with health concerns. Benzophenone-12 is different. It's a commonly used stabilizer that prevents ultraviolet light from damaging scents and colors.
(Helps maintain a product formula over time.)
(Protects a product against microbial growth to maintain performance.)
Acid Blue 9 is a colorant. It is one of the most widely used and tested dyes in consumer products, and can be found in clothing and colored paper. Dyes are added to products for a variety of reasons including helping you see where you applied the product, when a product is used up, or for aesthetic reasons.
(Provides a pleasing color.)

I don't care how many times I see folks make their own pint sized planters, I always get all excited to make my own. This tutorial is no different, and it takes the cool concrete exterior up a notch with a little gold leaf.
Amanda over at Ruffled is always up for a DIY project, but these in particular are especially adorable. She's usually making things for weddings as that's what her blog focuses around; these gold leafed planters might adorn a wedding reception or possibly just your living room.
Although we've featured many cement planter projects in the past, we like that this one uses the Rapid Set Cement all kit, which means all you need is water. It makes working with a new material a little less scary, and it's a great way to bring in some gold without getting all glitter and jazz hands up in your space. Want to see how it's done?

Concrete, really? I prefer these.
I like the concrete. The colour of the gold with neutral looks good! Could even polish certain sides of the pots to add extra contrast :)

Hipster locavorism goes one step further - to hipster no-carnivorism - at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary's ThanksLiving event. Animal rights supporters, vegetarians, vegans and those who love them have been coming together under one literal and metaphorical tent on a farm on the outskirts of Woodstock, NY, for the past four years.
Last Sunday the event was hosted by Dan Piraro - sanctuary board member, "Bizarro" cartoonist, stand-up comedian and retro-sartorial wonder. Veganism was done as a soft sell but given that Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary's founders, husband and wife Doug Abel and Jenny Brown, are film and television veterans and vegans, the warm and fuzzy short films about their rescued farm animals hit hard. Especially when set to the low, mournful tunes of Brooklyn-originated, now Catskills-dwelling indie rock band Ida, who played live.
As an alterna-Thanksgiving, it wouldn't be complete without a feast. Guests mingled and enjoyed hors d'oeurves from NYC restaurants (and Moby-spotting locations) Blossom and Candle Cafe and some local spots. The Dr. Cow tree nut cheese on a crostini with tapenade mimicked top-notch goat cheese, from the pleasantly sour bite to the creamy texture. A sea of vegan appetizers is a rare thing and they were accordingly devoured before everyone settled in for a dinner that included a Tuscan farro salad speckled with greens and butternut squash and blue corn-crusted seitan with chimichurri sauce. Vegan Treats delivered on its name with peanut butter mousse bomb cake, death by chocolate cake and pumpkin cheesecake.
ThanksLiving is the prime fundraiser for the sanctuary, which rescues abused and neglected farm animals. Throughout the event, guests browsed raffle and silent auction items that ranged from high-end vegan shoes from Olsen Haus to a signed copy of My Morning Jacket singer and vegetarian Jim James' first solo effort, which benefits the sanctuary and is a tribute to vegetarian George Harrison. Meanwhile, the crowd heard from Mercy for Animals' executive director Nathan Runkle and John Phillips, co-founder and executive director of the New York League of Humane Voters, who spoke with the earnestness, humor and manner of Michael Cera about holding politicians accountable for their stands on factory farming and other issues.
With its message of peace and love toward animals and a gentle nudge toward taking action, ThanksLiving shows that change can still grow out of a muddy field outside of Woodstock.

Faux Snow Globes | Well Worn
If someone asked me what stores I would like imported from America to Australia, Anthropologie would be right at the top of the list! I would also add Old Navy, Mod Cloth and their Target. Our Target doesn't compare. But back to Anthropologie - I adore their furniture and the styling in their shops. And I have to say, if I saw these in a store, I too would be trying to work out how they made it! I love the jewelry snow globes - like something you would find on a dresser of a sweet old gost in a Tim Burton movie… hmm. Does anyone know what I mean!? And you don't have to shake them - they're permanently snowy!

If the Kansas City Chiefs end up having a special season in 2012, we may look back on today, May 11th, 2012, as the day it all started.
Today the new rookies are in Kansas City for their first dose of NFL football. The players the team drafted, plus the 15 undrafted rookies the club signed after the draft, will be at the facility for the first time.
The camp will run Friday through Sunday. Second round pick Jeff Allen has been excised for Saturday's practice so that he can attend his commencement ceremony. Ditto for Kansas TE Tim Biere on Sunday. The players are allowed to wear helmets but no contact is allowed per league rules.
At the end of the camp, the rookies will attend a luncheon that any Chiefs fan would give their left arm (or at least a couple of fingers) to attend. Here is a from KCChiefs.com of team greats that will attend the luncheon with the rookies from KCChiefs.com:
Pro Football Hall of Famers Bobby Bell, Len Dawson, Willie Lanier and Jan Stenerud and Emmitt Thomas. Chiefs Hall of Famers Deron Cherry and Will Shields will also be in attendance along with former player and current scout Willie Davis, as well as former player and Chiefs Ambassador Danan Hughes.
The entire team will begin voluntary OTA practices starting May 21 and there will be a mandatory mini-camp for everyone June 12-14.
It begins now.

I loved finding this photo of Olivia Munn out grocery shopping in my inbox this morning, because even though she's acting all casual and ho hum as she checks out a bottle of Trop 50, her heavy makeup, skintight skirt, and false eyelashes totally give away the fact that this was a photo opportunity for the up and coming star.
And since I have false eyelashes on the brain lately, now's as good a time as any to write about how celebrities are using them to TOTALLY LOOK BETTER THAN THE REST OF US.
The fact is, Olivia looks way hotter grocery shopping in false lashes than she would without them. But you would look better grocery shopping in them, too!
And we really need to discuss this important matter, like, NOW.
Stil here? Excellent! You are my kind of girl.
So... My current obsession with false eyelashes is twofold.
It began when my stylist friend Ellen showed up for work at Salon Nfuse wearing a pair, which I wrote about here. She looked AMAZING, and for the first time, I realized that eyelash strips (which I've always avoided in favor of the clusters) can make a woman look about 10 times more gorgeous. Check out this photo of Ellen:
See? Totally gorgeous, AND you're not thinking "Oh, she's wearing false eyelashes," either.
Second is the fact that I'm currently obsessed with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and I have noticed that those women wouldn't be caught dead on camera without false eyelashes. And regardless of what you think of their personalities, it can't be denied that they all look totally hot. True, most of us can't afford regular Botox or plastic surgery, but most of us CAN afford false eyelashes. YAY!
And I'm not the only one to notice this false eyelash mania. Recently, Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond wrote that RHOBH also inspired her to buy a few pairs and experiment with them. 855 (and counting) comments later, I think it's safe to say that fake lashes are on a LOT of women's minds.
I'm now wearing the strips whenever I make a television or video appearance, on date nights, and, well, when I'm having a bad day. I think of them as my "confidence lashes."
The downside of them is that they can be uncomfortable, they're fairly difficult to apply, and they sometimes come loose during the day (always carry a tube of eyelash glue with you when you wear them, in the event that this happens!) The upside?
When you wear them, you look MAH-VELOUS!
So tell me, ladies... Do you wear false eyelashes? Are you noticing them lately on all sorts of stars? Do you want to try them out? Which brand/style is your favorite?
Yes. I'm obsessed. What of it?
Image via 5wpr
Not at all. I have thick curly natural lashes so I never seen the need for them.
Very timely article because I need HELP! I went to the drugstore to buy some for my birthday this weekend but I didn't know what kind to get and I do NOT want them to fall out while I am out. Sooooo, is it Ok to but the cheap ones for a night out and if I glue them down well will they stay???????
You know, I'm a make-up whore, but this is one product (and quite possibly, the only product) I've never tried because they look, well, fake. Fake lashes and fake tans - no thanks.
FAKE IS IN!! Come on! :D
MaggieCC, celebrities use those drugstore lashes, too-- they work just as well as the more expensive ones. My advice would be to get black eyelash glue instead of clear (clear shows up way more on your eyelids, surprisingly) and to buy a few extra pairs so that you can practice before the big event. Line the enitre rim of the lashes with a little glue, wipe off the excess, and be sure that you tap down every part of the rim onto your eyelid. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it.
FAKE IS IN!! Come on! :D
I know, and it's taking over! If I had a buck for every trailer-park-fashion mom with fake boobs, fake tan, fake eyelashes, pink yoga pants with "Baby Girl" written in sequins across her rump, wearning a faux fur jacket and carrying a 'vegan' leather bag, I could start a super PAC and run on an anti-tacky platform.
I don't wear them for the simple fact that my husband hates them with a passion.

Statue of Colonel Sanders, founder (and mascot?) of KFC franchise, gets a bit of fashion makeover in Japan; some are cool, but mostly bizarre…
This post is inspired (and expanded) from Instant-ramen's KFC article.

colonel maid sanders is really epic lol.
Lol, I used to see the old colonel on TV commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was growing up. He'd be rolling over in his grave right now in his home state of Kentucky if he saw what the Japanese have done to him. :P
However, he does look pretty good in that kimono holding the watermelon. lol.
Funniest one is definitely the watermelon + yukata outfit, couldn't make any less sense than that!
Thanks for the plug YeinJee ^^!
But here in America, I don't see a lot of statues of him outside of KFCs, so it must be a Japanese tradition to do that at all. And you know, (probably for that reason) I think colonal sanders must have more cameos in anime than anyone else too. Someone should start with a list and put it up on wikipedia. Why not. They've got a list of catgirls appearing in anime, after all. It would probably end up being rather extensive. But not as extensive as the catgirl list. Too bad I didn't write it down every time I've seen him or I could produce an impressive list right now. But off the top of my head, there's Project A-ko (that one was the best – he was the star of a horror flick no less!), Mahou Tsukai Tai, Midori no Hibi and Pani Poni Dash. And you at least see a KFC bucket at the beginning of Nuku Nuku, but that doesn't really count.
Sandor… I don't think they have this in every store. Good point on the anime cameos; a few of KFC buckets crossed my mind almost instantly (and also McDonald's), can't remember which anime in particular but the brand is obviously popular. Don't think there's many Sander's statue cameos though.
