Las Cruces, NM (KDBC) — Hundreds of teachers rallied outside the Las Cruces Public Schools administration building tonight to protest the state's new teacher evaluation program.
The system rates schools based upon standardized test scores, and teachers say it's hurting educators rather than helping students, leaving them little or no time to actually teach.
Similar rallies were held in Carlsbad, Hobbs, Roswell, and Santa Fe.
The Martinez administration implemented a performance-based evaluation system in the current school year after failing to win approval of its proposals in the Democratic-controlled Legislature.

The name Florida Championship Wrestling is being phased out by WWE for its developmental territory.
For the past week, several of the upcoming house shows were advertised using the NXT name instead of the FCW name. The FCW titles have been dropped in favor of the NXT title. There is no FCW television show, although the NXT show does not air in Florida.
The web site is now transitioning names as well with a new site debuting with all references to FCW, FCW Universe and such being eliminated, although the old FCW URL still works.

Thanks Deb. It was a bit colder than I expected, yet the sun and the snow presented a nice mix. North Manitou Island was the most visible with South Manitou faint. You'll have to check out more at my website: brendajclark.com or fb.
What a rare treat to get to get to see through your eyes the setting you were painting and then side-by-side experience your interpretation in art. It's beautiful and evocative. Thanks!

CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE -- One of Florida's best-kept secrets is an attraction that's even better now that the long-awaited Apollo Beach Visitor's Center has opened.
No longer will visitors have to sit on folding chairs to view a video about the Seashore's history that had been shown in a temporary trailer on the grounds.
Now there's a room filled with chairs and a large screen to show the video that tells the history of the Seashore and what's available to locals and tourists who want to enjoy it.
The recreational paradise has back country camping, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, surfing, swimming on 24 miles of an undeveloped beach, boating and bird watching opportunities.
You can drive, hike and boat through this national park area with its barrier island, open lagoon, coastal hammock, pine flat woods and offshore waters.
The 57,661 acres of Canaveral National Seashore are in both Brevard and Volusia Counties.
The Visitor's Center also has plenty of space to display information on the hiking trails, species of turtles and birds, and back country camping.
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 30, keynote speaker T.C. Wilder highlighted the milestones in the park's development and the journey to the long-awaited Visitor's Center.
"It was a long-time coming," said Myrna Palfrey, superintendent of the Canaveral National Seashore.
"Visitors can spend one-on-one time with our rangers or volunteers," she said.
"We've been providing services out of temporary structures for 20 years."
She also introduced T.C. Wilder, "who has dedicated most of his life to Canaveral National Seashore and is our No. 1 advocate."
Mr. Wilder is one of the founding members of the Friends of Canaveral and he introduced in the audience Art Graham, former superintendent of the Seashore.
"The National Park Service came through looking for a spot for a National Seashore in 1955," Mr. Wilder said. It was another 20 years before President Gerald Ford signed an Act of Congress creating the Seashore on Jan. 3, 1975.
Fortunately during the dedication, the park's most prolific residents, the Salt Marsh mosquitoes, weren't in attendance, Mr. Wilder told the crowd gathered under blue skies on the banks of the Indian River.
The barrier island was preserved through the work of three federal agencies: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has managed the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge since 1963, and the National Park Service, which has run Canaveral National Seashore since 1975.
Mr. Wilder had praise for the early volunteers and politicians such as U.S. Rep. William Chappell, who championed the cause of the Seashore.
Congressman Bill Chappell sponsored federal legislation in 1988 to purchase "Seminole Rest," which was also known as Snyder Mound, and to expand the Seashore's boundary to include the site on the west bank of Mosquito Lagoon at Oak Hill.
Mr. Wilder pointed out last week the many species of wildlife such as Bald Eagles, spoonbills, turtles, manatees and porpoises -- and from April to November the Salt Marsh mosquitoes.
Mr. Wilder said he chaired the committee to preserve the Eldora State House as the Eldora History Interpretive Center.
"The Seashore belongs to you the people and we want you to come and enjoy it," he said. "That's what the Visitor's Center does, it tells you about it."
Shawn Benge, deputy regional director of the Southeast Region of the National Park Service, came from Atlanta for the celebration. He said Canaveral is one of only 10 national seashores in the country and "is one of the crown jewels of the National Park Service."
The Canaveral/Merritt Island Seashore stretches from Bethune Beach at the north boundary to S.R. 402 at the southern boundary adjacent to Kennedy Space Center.
The Apollo Beach Visitor's Center is at 7611 S. Atlantic Ave., New Smyrna Beach. The telephone number is (386) 428-3384.
Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Information Center and 6 a.m.-8 p.m. at the park's north district.
Admission is $5 per day per car or motorcycle. Seniors can purchase a national park senior pass for $10. Other passes are available.
There are weekly nature programs and also a Junior Ranger program for children.

new 'book preview" a problem for my website.
I have been producing books regularly on Blurb. I then used to attach the full PDF alyouts to my website so people could see the edit and potentially purchase. This was before by using the Full page URL in code.
The new advances made in the 'book preview' are wonderful, but the full page layouts do not give a URL. I already compromise with Blurb in supplying your logo prominently in the book, layout and limiting the preview'able pages someone can see on line. By not providing a URL I'm now forced to further market for Blurb by linking to a site layout that is so obvoiusly different from my own.
That all sounds snotty from me. Its not, its just the reality I see so far. Maybe there is a way around it? Could you let me know what it is?
Cheers Sam
Hi Sam,
Our flash-based book preview is not able to be embedded in your website, yet anyway. I say "yet" because that is a great idea. I am going to pass your suggestion along to our web team.
One thing you could do is print to PDF from BookSmart and use a free service like Issuu or Scribd to create a custom preview for your site. However, I understand that this is not terribly convenient. I will ask our web team to consider your reasonable request.
Best regards and thank you for your patience,
thanks for your quick response. I appreciate that you have shown an interest and hope that your proposals work in my favour:) If photographers are to survive the media shift to new web based marketing we have to ensure we help each other build mutual resources rather than suffocate good ideas with over exploitation – if its possible to provide this info you it will be best for everyone to make it available.
any news on this?

Money Blueprints: What Our Parents Taught Us About Money
Published on - February 16th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
I had dinner with two friends from high school last night. We shared good wine, good food, and, especially, good conversation. Much of our discussion focused on our shared history: the things we did twenty years ago (or 25!) that now seem as if they might have been done by a stranger. (Yet those strangers were us.) We talked about how we perceived money when we were younger.
Sparky and Stew grew up down the road from each other. I didn't meet either of them until junior high school. Stew's family was poor. They lived in a single-wide mobile home. His father built bar stools in the garage; his mother waited tables. "I remember your dad as an entrepreneur," Sparky said last night. "I remember him building those stools. I admired that."
"Yeah, he was a sort of entrepreneur," Stew said. "He tried, but he could never really make a go of it. We couldn't survive on the money he brought in making bar stools. In fact, he financed that operation on credit cards. We lived on the tips my mom brought home from waiting tables. It seemed like she was always working to get us money. She hoarded her money. She watched it. She had to make it last."
"Huh," said Sparky. "I never realized that. I mean, I knew you were poor, but I always thought of your family as wealthy. You lived in a trailer house, and you didn't have much, but when I visited your house, it was an adventure. I remember sleeping outside in the tent —"
"That's because we didn't have room inside," Stew said.
"I remember sleeping outside in the tent," said Sparky. "I remember you seemed to live in a fantasy land. It was like your dad had a dream job. You had a basketball court in the woods. And a wiffle ball stadium. Plus you and your brother always did this wild, imaginative play. It was awesome."
"But I didn't learn much about money from my parents," Stew said. "I learned more from yours. I remember going over to your house and marveling that you had opened a savings account. I remember that passbook you had, and how your parents would drive you into town to make deposits. I went home and told my mom that I wanted a savings account, but it never amounted to much."
"I still have that savings account," said Sparky. "The same account my parents opened for me when I was a kid is my savings account today. So, yeah, I guess my dad wasn't an entrepreneur, but he did teach me a lot about money. He did some business on the side — raising produce, growing Christmas trees — but mostly what I learned from him was how to save. And how to invest. I watched how he invested his money and let it grow. He's played a very active role in his investments, so in a way I think of him as an entrepreneur of the stock market."
"I wish my parents had taught me some of that," I said. "Whenever my dad had money, which wasn't often, he spent it on toys. He didn't save. He didn't invest. I can't remember that he ever invested a dime in anything. He bought computers and airplanes and sailboats. But then when he was broke, he turned around and sold them again. We were always poor because he couldn't save his money."
Sparky laughed. "I remember going over to your single-wide mobile home and being scared that I was going to fall through the floor!"
We all laughed. I said, "It's still that way, you know. The box factory's offices are in that old trailer house, and it hasn't improved with age. We're just too damn cheap to replace it. Our wives hate the place, and I can't blame them. But it costs nothing for us to keep."
Sparky nodded. "You know," he said, "even though you were poor, and even though I was afraid of falling through that floor, I looked around at all the gadgets you had and thought of you as rich, too. Your family had a fancy stereo system. Your dad let you drive that Datsun around when nobody else in school had a car."
We paused to order dessert, and Sparky continued. "It's as if although your families were poor, you created a world of wealth out of nothing. Stew had this fantasy wonderland of imagination. J.D.'s family had gadgets that I envied."
"And I envied you," I said. "I remember going over to your house and thinking how amazing it was to have a nice normal home on a lot of property. I wanted that. I liked having gadgets, but I would have rather not lived in the trailer house."
Our chocolate torts came. We began to pick at them. "One thing I'm glad of," I said, "is that my father taught me about the entrepreneurial spirit. I'm glad to have had a chance to learn from him. I used to hate working at the box factory, but now I recognize that I would not be the person I am today without that experience."
"Yeah," said Sparky. "We look at ourselves now and wonder how did we get here? But it's all a result of everything that we've seen and done. The girls I dated in high school. The decade I took off after college to travel around the U.S. and the world. Sometimes it's frustrating that I'm 38 and only make $30,000 a year, but I look at the experiences I've had, and I look at who I am today, and I know that I would not be this person without everything that had come before."
I smiled. "I just wrote about this subject today," I said. "I'll post it on Sunday."
In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind (my review), T. Harv Eker writes that each person possesses a "money blueprint", an internal script for dealing with money that comprises the lessons we learned in childhood, especially from our parents. This conversation with my friends illustrates this concept. My problems with money as a young adult were a product of the blueprint I inherited from my parents. They were modeling a relationship to money — they never realized what sort of effect it would have on me and my brothers.
Yet this blog is a direct result of that modeling, too.
This article is about Choices, Entrepreneurship, Kids, Real-Life
I'm not the craziest about Suze Orman, but I have to admit, in the 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, she hits the nail on the head. Sometimes our past experiences with money shapes how we perceive money and its purpose in our lives. Losing it, saving it, buying stuff with it, etc. Parents can go a long way teaching kids about money. My folks always told me not to worry about it, but when they're having conversations about it in a foreign language all the time, it's obvious *they* are worrying about it. I guess that's what made me a worrier in the end! The inadvertent reverse psychology worked since I'd rather mind my money than not.
Thanks for the post J.D. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that talks about money with friends.
I agree, mapgirl. I think that the 9 steps is probably suze's best book. I've read much of the other stuff out there, but the ideas in that book are different than I had found elsewhere. And *thats* why I like her. Although I am still learning from Suze, some of it starts to 'eat like popcorn' at this point.
As for me, I've always worried about money. And I think that is mostly because I knew that my family didn't really have enough. Sure we were never homeless or on the street; but the fact is, if there were an emergency or something, there would have been real problems. Like you say, mapgirl, its not something you can easily hide from children.
Very nice piece. As with many things, we often fool ourselves into thinking we have learned how not to behave by observing our parents and learning from their mistakes. Especially as teenagers we rebel against our parents' approaches and promise ourselves we'll never be like them. And yet genetics is a powerful thing. I find myself repeating many of the same financial mistakes my father made, despite my firm conviction as a kid and even as a young adult that I would never do so.
There's truth to that money blueprint idea, but I also think there is a blueprint in general that can overcome and or affect the money blueprint. My parents never talked about money, and i got that all to familiar "you dont need to worry about it", sure I had a 'savings' account when I was little, and they made me put money into it once I had a job @ 14…but they never really told me why. I was never taught how money works, just that I'll need it. I was never taught how to grow money, just that it will get bigger by like 3 dollars a year in a savings account at the bank. I remember when my parents lost a lot of money because they had a lot of their investments (not retirement thankfully) in utilities (hurray enron and the like) (i had no idea what all this meant at the time, keep that in mind) and that i'd have to pay for my own college. However, the one thing they did instill in me is the drive to never stop learning. Learning was held at one of the highest levels in my household growing up. I'm not talking about how parents would give their kids money if they got A's (which some friends had…I didn't), I'm talking about learning the lesson, learning the material, and using it to grow, and never stop asking why. It is that quality that has basically driven me to learn about money and completely change my spending/investing practices…or rather, actually invest/save and not spend all my money because i can.
My parents lived by a principle that I have only begun to appreciate after I grew up, left home, and had to start making my own living. They always put the interests of their children ahead of their own. They did what was best for their kids, not what was most enjoyable for themselves.
They invested $3000 in an IBM PC XT (8086) – no hard drive and 640k of RAM – back in the 80s. A lot of money for us back then. That was followed by another XT, a 486, and a series of other computers as time went on. These were not toys, although my brother and I spent countless hours playing video games on them. They were educational tools where I quickly lost any fear of computers and explored how they worked. Dad convinced Mom to buy a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which cost another couple of grand. They spent countless hours and dollars on piano lessons, swimming lessons, skating lessons, and trips for math competitions and engineering competitions. Dad spent hours teaching my brother and I math from old textbooks. Mom spent hours bringing us to the symphony and to music lessons. Yes, as Dilbert, I have The Knack. I also have an appreciation for art and music. But I wouldn't have been able to develop these assets without the constant sacrifice of my parents.
Like fire, money seems to be a good servant, but a poor master. My parents put their money, time, and resources in service of the education and care of their children. I believe my life was enriched for it, and (perhaps strangely) their lives are more satisfying for it. I hope that if I ever have children (and if my fiance has anything to say about it, we definitely will) I live by the same principle. I may not have the most perfect children in the world, but I'll likely sleep better at night knowing I did everything I could to give them every advantage I could afford.
My parents never talked about money with me. I grew up thinking it would magically appear whenever I would need it. I had no concept of how money worked. It has taken me years to understand the basics of a budget and just now I am understanding the power of compound interest.
I won't make the same mistake with my 1 year old daughter. I will teach her everything I can about the value of a dollar.
Well, I'll suspend my disbelief, even though this post has a slight Rich Dad, Poor Dad feel.
The point is well made, one of the biggest factors in my own finances are the scripts that I grew up with. Its why I know to pay my credit card in full but am lost at sea with investments.
Here's to overcoming our upbringings.
Excellent post.
During my kid-dom, my parents never talked about money. Never. The closest I got to a money education was watching my mom sit at the kitchen table on Saturday afternoons with mountains of bills and paperwork in front of her. Whenever I'd ask her what she was doing, the answer was always brief: "Paying bills."
And so it was. What I learned about money from my parents was that it was something to be feared, something to keep shackled and secret and away from the light of day, because anything that's so out of control ought to be kept under wraps.
It took me about 20 years to figure out they had it all, all wrong.
I really agree with your primary thesis – that the lessons we learn both consciously and subconsciously from our parents about money never escape us. For example, the reason I am so fascinated about keeping credit card debt free and managing my credit so that I can maintain a good credit score is entirely because of the failure of my parents to do so. On the other hand, based on their example, I am always afraid that I might have inherited their lack of self-control. I fear that I won't be able to manage them properly, and that their fault might become my own.
This sounds like intro to a book to me….so you going to write one? I just love your blogs and think you should!
I find it interesting in my family how differently children in the same home respond later to what they've learned about money from their parents. I have two brothers, and we all have different approaches, though they all seem to stem from the fact that we don't want to make similar "mistakes" that our parents did.
For instance, I'm incredibly concerned about saving and reducing/avoiding debt. My parents never saved and made several poor decisions with what they did have. Where they saw every dollar that came in as a dollar to be spent on something, I see it as an opportunity to put some of it away for later use, sometimes to the point of not allowing myself to enjoy it.
One of my brothers, on the other hand, has taken a different route. He makes a decent living, but he's by no means a saver. Rather, he is more focused on being able to provide the "nice things" for his family, taking them on regular vacations, etc. This was something he apparently felt was lacking while growing up. On occasion, I've even seen him panick around Christmas time, wanting to be certain he's getting his kids "the best", never feeling like he's done enough.
Then there's my other brother who frequently states, "I hate money." He wants little to do with any financial planning in his home, seeing it as nothing more than a source of tension. This was true in our home growing up, as our financial state was both a source of tension at times as well as a thing of mystery to us as kids. Luckily his wife has a knack for finances.
Growing up, we were given an impression that money was an enemy to be dealt with so to speak rather than a tool to be used. Though we all have our different approaches to finances, it seems to have produced a bit of the same response in us; anxiety.
[Fortunately, though, it has also resulted in a healthy concern for the future as we see our parents aging. We're all (in different stages) taking steps to prepare for future needs.]
I think this is an important footnote on financial mental health as a child growing up: In retrospect, my parents were not financially progressive, however; they must not have argued or discussed how cash deficient we were because I never realized we were poor. Mom always found ways to provide just enough so that I could build on life experiences-soccer, music, boy scouts, whatever.
I read about a Chinese couple- Chicken Soup for the Soul, vol. #44 or something. They scraped and saved to buy a restaraunt. After that, they scraped and saved to pay for the restaraunt, living in the back, eating leftovers, sacrificing entertainment and other life enhancing activities to be only practical. They met their goal and were eventually owners of their very own restaurant. They became rich.
To me , too much was lost along the way. Like J.D. said, the experiences along the way are what define us. Some might think it's easier said than done, and I agree. Where there is will, there will be a way.
[...] Feb. 16th: Money blueprints: What our parents taught us about money [...]
[...] parents modeled poor money habits. They didn't do a good job of teaching my brothers and me about money via allowances, either. [...]
[...] J.D. has dinner with some friends and discusses what each of their parents taught them about money. [...]
I think the three things I learned about money from my family growing up were "there's never enough of it", "debt is bad" and "avoid asking for money or things that cost money, because it just makes people feel bad". Saving was definitely seen as good, but also as neigh well impossible.
But my Mom also put a high priority on what was best for my sister and I when we were growing up. She couldn't begin to afford all the advantages @squished18′s parents were fortunate and generous enough to bestow, but she made sure we lived somewhere with a good school district, even though that made things much harder on her than they had to be, and put our future ahead of short term desires in other ways.
So the lessons were a mixed bag. Learning to abhor debt was definitely useful. The scarcity mentality less so– my sister and I once had an interesting discussion about how our history made it so difficult to negotiate salary or ask for a raise. (after all, asking for more than is offered is unreasonable, demonstrates that you don't grasp the situation, and makes you look bad while making the "askee" feel bad. Not real good baggage to bring to a negotiation. Also, it's hard to really believe that you should be paid more for the work that you do when you're in your 20′s (as we were at the time) and earning more than the person who raised you, regardless of what other people who do the same work make).
Learning about investing and making money definitely had to come from other sources than home. But we both went to good public jr high and highschools, and good colleges, thus opening the opportunities of a good education. So my Mom did a good job. She couldn't teach us what she didn't know herself, but she gave us everything she could. Thanks, Mom =^)
This is such a sweet post. I think most people feel that "grass if only greener" sentiment when talking about how parents shaped their money values. I know I certainly do.
I'd love to hear from someone who thinks their parents taught them exactly what they needed to know about finances, and as a result, they have no debt, a retirement account, an emergency fund, and they're spending less than they earn.
I loved both my parents dearly, but I am TOTALLY a product of both their ways of handling money – and working. My father worked like a dog, sometimes 48 hours straight, but he also had no sense of money – he worked for it, and if it was something he wanted, he got it. This is true, but when you have five kids in private school, that doesn't blend well. He was first in line with new technology – was interested in it, wasn't afraid of it, and used it in his business, which was highly competitive. He also put a lot of money into hobbies which, frankly, he almost never had time to pursue. And I married a man who treated money virtually the same way – he didn't EARN it, but he spent the money I earned on any toys he happened to want at the time, and once he had them, he wanted something else. I patterned my behaviour on my Mom's – I watched her wear the same old coat and same old clothes year after year, trying to balance the spending my Dad was doing and the things the kids needed by doing without, herself. So from an early age, I didn't ask for things I wanted, because I worried about money. Of course, the other kids, who DID ask for what they want, got what they wanted. I carried that behaviour into my marriage, too. My Dad was always behind in his bills, money was always a silent, never-discussed worry. I wish they HAD taught us about money. I'm struggling to learn now what I should have learned decades ago.
I think my parents did a good job. My dad used to complain about stuff that was too expensive, or about how there wasn't money for this or that, but there was always enough for our needs plus some extra for soccer or piano lessons, computers and encyclopedias and college. When I noticed things my friends had, my mother explained to me why: one friend lived in a beautiful house and had all the latest toys, but her parents were deep in debt with no savings; another friend went to Florida every year but had to work three jobs in college. I'm not perfect, but I learned the value of saving and avoiding debt and I do pretty well thanks to my parents. I also have no worries about needing to care for them down the line, as they have prepared themselves very well. My next goal is to take care of that for myself, as I will have no children to fall back on should I fail to prepare.
My parents didn't discuss money either. They worked and spent. When I turned 17, my parents told me I was responsible for everything (car insurance, gas, clothing, doctor bills,college, etc.) that I needed/wanted. So I worked and went to school. I never had a credit card. Or any debt. I cashed in my bonds to pay for college. If I needed money for a doctor and didn't have it, I asked my sister for it and paid her back. Alot of times, I didn't think it was normal or right to treat a kid like that but it was not surprising to me. Heck, they even asked me for rent to the tune of $300/mth! I refused since I couldn't afford anymore bills! They were not poor by any means. I think they really just didn't know how to manage money and once I got a job, they expected me to cover things that they didn't want to pay for anymore. I do pay my bills on time and don't buy anything that isn't practical/sensible. But I think that was a lesson I learned on my own, not necessarily something that my parents taught me…

Thank goodness it's Friday!
It's been a rollercoaster week and I just want things to slow down. Been sickly, and frustrated with my lack of progress on stuff I've been meaning to work on. I'm really looking forward to just chilling and working on my projects at my own pace this weekend. XD

I'm still not used to seeing nyself with darker-colored wigs/accessories. O u O it's starting to grow on me, though. Maybe I can wear it more often? :3
Cotton Candy Vanessa is back! (I think)
I haven't worn anything super-sweet in a long time, and this was a request by my friend Rubi for our Skype date. I'm trying to figure out how to coordinate sweet lolita again, everything feels so off at the moment, I'm scared to mess up. XD
Also, can I just point out the fabulous pink unicorn sticker on my laptop? It's covering the laptop's logo, but I have no qualms with that. I nearly flipped the display rack when I saw these glitter decals, I want to stick them on everything I own! My laptop is just my first victim. :D

Knits in Summer (hype it on LOOKBOOK.nu)
Summer is normally hot, and it seems to be hotter in the Philippines. I'm still a big fan of knits, though, and I still wear them around, even during the hotter days.
I love this top, it feels very casual and relaxed. The lace collar details also makes it feel a little girlier, I think. Paired it with shorts just to make sure I don't end up feeling too warm. It's definitely more ideal to wear this in cooler places, like malls. XD

The Sweetest Thing
I haven't shot anything sweet-looking recently, and I've missed my candy-colored wigs so much! I'm easing back into it, though. I thought this wig was perfect for that!
I've been looking for a good light brown wig that doesn't look BLEGH with my complexion, and I took a chance on the Strawberry Latte from Gothic Lolita Wigs. Their Light Brown looked awful ON ME, so I was afraid of how this would look when I wear it. To my (pleasant) surprise, this wig was more of a honey brown, instead of milk tea brown, and it worked for me! <3 The pink streaks are a big plus in my book, because it's my favorite color.
I also want to point out the awesome spiked floral headband that I got from Dark~Sweet~Soul! I usually get black leather and spiked headbands from there, but this was a refreshing change. :D
Gonna start wearing my sweet wigs a little more often now, so you'll probably see more of them soon! :D
'Til next time,Vanessa <3

Finally got to wear my floral spiked headband from Dark~Sweet~Soul! Met up with Monique today. <3

On the way to a wedding! Today was not good for my left eye; got thwacked by a mascara spoolie and facial wash got in and made it sting like crazy. D:
Makeup saves the day!
Quick makeup look for a sick day. I went from sickly pale to normal-looking in a little under 20 minutes. I can imagine some people saying, "Why would you wear makeup when you're sick?" I personally don't enjoy looking like a walking corpse, it's not my thing. I like to feel pretty when I feel horrible. XD
Spent the whole day curled up in my favorite blanket, sniffling and sneezing at everything. ; A ; I missed work today, because my sore throat prevented me from making sounds at all. I was mute for the day, I can't teach without my voice. :(
Looks like I might shoot a tutorial of some sort later today, since I can record the voice over for that when my voice comes back. For now, I must return to editing essays.

Getting a little thin on top?
Coffee and other caffeine-rich beverages could be key in curing baldness.
German researchers say caffeine blocks a chemical known to damage hair follicles.
Unfortunately downing a cup or even two probably will not do much good.
Researchers say the average male would need at least 60 cups of coffee to equal the amount of caffeine needed to produce a result.

"These labels are simple and elegant, and with my daughter and her fiance living together it made address labels easy because you don't have to have a last name on them"
"I absolutely love these wrap around labels. They are one of a kind and I was able to customize them to my exact wants. Instead of saying 'the marriage of' I was able to have them changed to say 'save the date'. I was also able to have them printed in a charcoal grey to match my wedding colors. I just love them!"
"Thought it would be a nice added touch for the envelope. I cut the labels and used the part with the return address on the front of envelope and the other part on the back flap of the envelope. Will use this on my invitations."
"So cute! I went with a different font for the name, one that was less bold and more of a scripted look. I love the wood grain look!"
"So I ordered this on a Thursday night and received it Thursday of the following week! On top of that, after I ordered, I left off my apartment # (in the address) and WPD "proofs" their items so I when they sent the proof I noticed the incomplete address. I immediately added it and INSTANTLY (no joke, within minutes) they sent me a corrected proof. I'm blown away by the personalized attention to detail, this didn't feel like a large company I ordered from but rather a small one that gave me wonderful one on one attention. A++ definately recommend!"

Radhika thinks of what she said that made Arun so mad all of a sudden. She gets a little sad but makes a mark in her mind to call him in the evening to make sure everything's fine.
Ria searches all the hallways of her college but fails to find Aditya. She decides to call him, but no one picks up. She leaves a message.
Radhika calls Arun in the evening but he didn't pick up the phone.
Radhika: (thinks) Damn, now when do I tell him?! Maybe, it's just not the right time…

You don't get to be an entire nations richest man and run of the world's most profitable companies if you can't secretly con everyone else around you. Playing the random fool is the easiest way to trick gain people's trust because they believe they can take advantage of that but they end up the one's who are scammed. I must say I like that plot twist.

Interesting twist at the end. Episode was alright to.

I think Varick helped to instigated the war a bit, so he could sell his war machines to the south. I don't think the northerners had anything to do with the bombing.

Time has flown by so fast, its crazy! One more week of school, then finals week and then I'll be home until August 9! crazy stuff right?!
So I'm in this choir at my school, and it's such a blessing! Like I'm talking POWERFUL! We sang today for church and it was so unbelievably beautiful! One of the songs we did was God Restores http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EVrZVLrHaM Let me tell you, I was crying like a baby within the first two lines, because our God is AWESOME! I've been down the rocky road (not just the ice cream, lol lame joke) and no matter how many times I've fallen he's been there to pick me back up! I'm adapting this song as my anthem, because I'm a living testimony, GOD RESTORES!

Sometimes I pretend Richard Gere & Diane Lane are my biological parents.
And my conception obviously took place in the Nights of Rodanthe house.
Which would explain both my love for the beach, and the only Gavin Rossdale song that I actually know, Love Remains the Same.
05 1 / 2013
Maybe it's my decade long devotion to the movie Honey? Or maybe I just love a good fedora on the beach. But Jessica Alba & Cash Warren are quickly moving up on my list of favorite celebrity couples. Like way up.
I mean not Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield up. (NEVER!) But way above Katy Perry/John Mayer up.
Let's be honest. Everyone is above Katy & John.

The Best Sofa Frame Construction: Kiln Dried vs. Engineered Wood
Buying a new sofa can be intimidating. It seems there are endless questions about the finer details that will determine if your couch will stand the test of time. We've tried to shed a little bit of light on one of the most important questions: should you look for a kiln-dried hardwood or engineered wood frame?
Kiln-dried hardwood is typically considered top-of-the-line, and has been a long-standing selection in durable sofas. By drying the wood in a kiln, roughly 90-95% of the moisture in the wood is removed, preventing warping, and bowing. These frames are made with about 2 inch thick pieces of hardwood, typically secured with dowels and glue, and are very tough.
There are two types of engineered wood: plywood and particleboard (also called fiberboard or composition board.) Plywood is multiple thin layers of lumber glued together under high pressure. Plywood can be very strong and stable in the construction of sofa frames. Particleboard is wood chips and fibers that are glued together, and is much less strong than plywood or hardwood.
While kiln-dried hardwood has been the hallmark of quality furniture for quite some time, furniture-makers and engineers alike often feel that a high-quality plywood (there are different grades and qualities) can be just as structurally sound. A higher number of layers glued together, flush and true construction and interlocking joints make for a very sturdy frame.
There is no cut and dried (forgive the pun) answer to whether a frame will last you a lifetime, as it comes down to researching the manufacturer and trying to derive some basic quality levels across the board. A high-quality plywood frame with interlocking joints can be much sturdier than a kiln-dried wood frame made from a softer wood. (Here's a quick guide to hardwoods and softwoods via diffen.com) The key here is to know the manufacturer, their reputation, and remember to be aware of the key facets of quality materials and construction! Here's a great
Look for:
- kiln-dried hardwood
- interlocking joints
- doweled and glued joints
- screws, not staples
- softwoods--kiln-dried or otherwise
- particleboard
- low-quality plywoods
- staples
What other hints and advice do you have for seeking out quality sofa construction?

nice post...i try to get the same point across when friends and family ask me to help them with buying furniture!!
Here's a great
Your post got cut off (or maybe there was no additional content, but fyi).
What manner of wood is (some asian country) rubberwood? I think my platform bed is made out of this. Wiki entry seems to imply it's ok for indoor furniture if properly treated, and I'm no botanist but the leaves look broad and it produces nuts. Which probably makes it hardwood, but doesn't mean it's hard....
I stick to vintage. Very little "engineered" wood to be found in my pieces and if they've lasted the last 50-60 years I'm thinking they might have been built to last. Although oddly, I recently acquired (and have already passed on to a new owner) a vintage Grundig Delmonico stereo (with a drybar hidden inside!) that was constructed of particle board with a fine wood veneer. This stereo was all tube but had a tape input / output so I'm guessing it was from the '60s. Huh, who knew?
Mr. Modtomic
Source for that curved sectional please!
@The Flying Dutchman: given the info provided, I'd avoid plywood and Google hard vs. soft woods. Dunno how you tell difference between plywood qualities, and salespeople, these days, seem to know little about the products they promote.
Great suggestions and post. Thanks.
I second the source for that sectional!
i agree, this is a great article. i think it's important for people to know the difference in materials when buying furniture.
rubberwood is a hardwood. quality-wise, it should last a long time. most companies use this wood because it is very cheap, however, the grain is not very attractive. likewise, it is often stained dark, painted, or used for interior parts.
Indeed, my bed is stained v. dark. It came in other finishes, but I like darker woods.

"Supernatural" season 9 continues next week with episode 13, "The Purge," for which the CW released a new sneak preview on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
In this next "SPN" episode, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go undercover at a spa after murder victims are found hundreds of pounds lighter after their deaths. They suspect witches are responsible, and so they check out the fancy day spa all the victims attended for weight loss, with Sam a fitness instructor and Dean on kitchen duty. After Dean has some tainted food and passes out, they realize someone is drugging the guests and literally sucking the fat out of the victims until they die.
The promo for "The Purge" begins like a commercial for Canyon Valley Wellness Spa, the place where you can go and lose all your fat in one day. That alone should tell you there's something sketchy going on there. Plus, get a look at Sam and Dean undercover, which means quite the outfit for Sam and a hairnet for Dean. Their relationship was still broken at the end of "Sharp Teeth"; will we see that affect them in this episode?
"Supernatural" season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW. "The Purge" was written by Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder and directed by Phil Sgriccia. What do you think of this episode 13 preview?

You can never hate on someone doing something positive. I personally wouldn't cop the kicks but they honestly don't look that bad. I'm curious to see the rest of the interview though. 10K for some kicks now that's crazy.

I saw these in person and they don't look that bad. At least he's giving back to the community.

Doesn't* idk how Apple thinks doesn't to spear is a good correction.
DAMN G…first Mayor now this…you ARE doing big things (emails SneakerFreaker and Complex right now!!!!!!!) Its time the world took notice..great interview.. way to be informed about the subject matter…Im looking for to the second part…..
Now as far as Fat Joe…Dude is kinda talking outta the side of his mouth…You cant talk that recession ish.. kids cant afford $200 dollar sneaker ish..then get photographed ALLL last week in them Kanye Louies (we saw you Joe)…Kids want these "expensive" items not because of the quality but because they SEE people like you rocking them….Jordans ruled the world for damn never 3 decades BECAUSE MJ played in them..chilled in them…and they embodyed the spirit of Mike (BE LIKE MIKE!!!)…If im a lil kid..and Im a Fat Joe fan…I wanna rock what you rock…not rock what you endorse…As much rappers, entertainer, etc..rap that stay in school ish…but everytime you see them they spending money…wearing ice..just being Negrodian…it sends a mix message..I applaud a dude like Ewing(just dated myself again) and Shaq for going independent and rocking independent…
Feeling Real, Real Good about this.. Good interview (solid questions G-Roc). I hope he succeeds in blessing the kids with fly affordable kicks.. Can't Hate on the Love..
Good stuff G-Rock. Looking forward to P2. Much respect to Fat Joe for doing the interview and keeping straight.
Sweet I'm go 2 kmart and cop me a pair and lean back lean back, c r a c k
He was dead on……all the kicks we love and spend STUPID money for only cost about $25 to make……it's a damn shame.
Good interview…..and I already know what they were discussing in the small snipet of Pt.2…how NYC dudes went to Baltimore to cop AF1′s back in the day and bring em back to the city since B-More got them shits first…..
I respect what joe is doing even though most people I know would never wear the shoes. It a blessing when you got all of at cheese and you are able still look out for your community with a low cost kick.
line them up next to the YUMS ala Omarion for the wackest HIP/HOP artist shoe ever………EPIC FAIL….
if you want to help the KIDS…unload some FUGAZI Jordans of JFK into the hands of children wearing busted ass Walmart kicks……they got truck loads and ya'll know them run about the same price….variant Jordans or Protege Fugs?
I might have to get a pair when they come out. All shoes are made out of the same materials anyway. It costs Nike $10-15 dollars to make Jordans……It costs you $150 dollars for you to rock them.

Baton Rouge, LA (Sports Network) - Andre Stringer and Johnny O'Bryant III both scored 18 points as the LSU Tigers remained undefeated with an 80-67 win over the Chattanooga Mocs in non-conference play at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
O'Bryant III, who also blocked three shots, finished with a double-double for the Tigers (6-0) as he pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds in the triumph. Corban Collins chipped in with 11 points off the bench as well for the hosts.
The Mocs (2-7), losers of three straight, were paced by Z. Mason who delivered a career-high 22 points, followed by Ronrico White and Gee McGhee with 17 and 10 points, respectively.
LSU made good on an even 50 percent from the floor in the first half, including 5-of-11 behind the three-point line, in order to take a 42-30 lead at the break.
In the second half the Tigers again shot well beyond the arc (4-of-8) in order to secure the double-digit win.
LSU, which won the rebounding battle by a 46-39 margin, survived despite suffering 18 turnovers and shooting just 11-of-20 at the free-throw line.

Stepmom 101
Dos and Don'ts from One Who Knows
DO remember that your stepkids, challenging as they can seem at times, are only children, and the adjustment is twice as difficult for them as it is for you. These kids suddenly have a virtual stranger in their lives, telling them what to do and what not to do, and they see very little necessity for your presence. Stepchildren can be stubborn, disagreeable and downright vicious when they want to. When the going really gets tough, take a step back and imagine yourself in their place. Are you treating your step-children the way you'd want to be treated if you were in their position? Impossible as they sometimes can be, they're just confused kids reacting to a difficult situation the only way they know how.
DO exude love, acceptance, approval, respect and enthusiasm as often as possible. It won't always be easy, but the more positive your attitude is, the harder it will be for your stepchildren to be negative. Also, give them praise when they deserve it. Don't assume they know that you love them or are proud of them- tell them as often as is appropriate. They'll appreciate it, even if they blow you off.
DO set limits and stick to them! Everyone has things that are not OK. You have the right to voice the things that you won't tolerate, whether it's name-calling, slamming doors, borrowing things without asking, or whatever pushes your buttons. Be consistent in scolding or punishing for the unacceptable behaviors every time they occur.
DO make time for yourself. You have every right to quiet time alone or to indulge in your favorite hobbies or relaxation activities. Although sticking to a routine is difficult, it's easier for everyone in the family if you have a regular schedule for your "me" time. The kids will know that you do yoga every day at six or leave for the library every Monday at three, and they'll learn to work around that part of your routine.
DO maintain honest communication with your husband. You can't expect him to be a supportive partner if you don't tell him how you feel. He needs to know what's working and what you're having a hard time with. It's essential that you maintain a unified front as parents, and open communication is the key to accomplishing that.
DO make every effort to get along with Mom. If your stepchildren's mom is in the picture, you MUST get along with her. It won't be easy, and you don't have to like her. Chances are she'll resent you, and you may feel uncomfortable about her history with your husband. Get over it. You and she have something very important in common- you love the same kids. The better your relationship with their mom, the easier time your stepkids will have adjusting.

Lindsay Lohan may have to stash some of her "Liz and Dick" money in the Caymans, because a tanning salon is going after her with a vengeance for not paying a judgment for a humongous tanning bill.
It's been 9 months since a Nevada judge ordered Lindsay to pay the $40,000 bill to the salon and -- surprise, she hasn't paid a cent. Now the salon is trying to get the matter moved to California, so it can attach Lindsay's assets to satisfy the judgment.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay racked up the bill for intense bronzing between 2007-2009, courtesy of Tanning Vegas, located in Nevada.
Calls to Lindsay's camp weren't returned.
This is news? Nothing new here, same old story and she'll never change. Isn't her middle name "Gimme" ??
Maybe to justify that $40 K, Blohan sent the 'mobile' tanning truck to Merrick to SPRAY DUIna?
Notice how Lohan is not saying a word because she knows in fact she has always owed the money to pay her bill. A judge ordered a court ordered judgement against Lohan to pay her bill. Judge found that quite valid and ruled against Lohan. Pay your bill.
couldn't she get the tan mom discount?
@help. Really, you think anyone really thought that Lindsay created a chemical formula for tanning spay in a lab? NO worries. That's one thing I know she's innocent of.
Next time you are hungry go to MacDonald's instead of eating someone's face off!
There is a story about you on ROL! LOL
I wonder what these same old haters would do if Lindsay didn't exist. Same old haters, same old hate, same old bores, same old boring lives.
Told 'ya! If there's a story about budding disaster Amanda, that has to be followed by a story about full blown mess Blohan and her antics. TMZ, you're so predictable. LOL
And Blohan not paying her bills?? What a shocking development. She'll have to find someone to blame it on right away.
and for you ignorant haters, this is a civil matter, Lori Simon the woman who issued the lawsuit was her associate for the sevyn nyne tanning spray, Lindsay advertised this product continually for Lori Simon, I'm gonna guess and say there is something in writing in Lindsays favor. A bill for 2007-2009 being issued in 2010 is ridiculous. Its bogus.
TMZ can't leave Lindsay alone, they miss their hits. Lindsay has been quiet and getting on with prepping for her new TV movie but TMZ have to drag up some BS. Good luck Lindsay.
Come back when you have something intelligent to say.
(The permanent silence from you will be bliss.)
Zeph, check your email.
OMG...Madisyn, I didn't know you were Kim Kardashian!!! Since that's the only new story I see on ROL...
Collection agencies have been known to be vicious. Miss Cleo says Linds will be notified of her 70% wage attachment during her first day "on set" at the Lifetimme infomercial.. Linds will smash champagne glasses and set a fire in her dressing hallway, then rage off to the Chateau. Later that night at an undetermined lesbian bar, Linds will be arrested for contempt of Court and therefore probation violation for failing to pay a judgment. All in one day. Linds (DUIna) did herself a disservice quacking about the "Playboy million". The buzzards are circling, and several of them are sh!tfaced drunk and gacked to the gills on coke.

Paramount today unleashed a new trailer for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the fourth chapter in the blockbuster action saga. We got a chance to check out some IMAX footage from the film last week. Check out the trailer below, and read on for our recap of the IMAX preview:
""So that's why they're releasing it early in IMAX.""
Such was the consensus reaction last week after Paramount screened footage from its upcoming big-budget action sequel, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, for a group of local journalists at the Rave 18 IMAX in Los Angeles. The studio had surprised many in Hollywood when it announced in September that it would be releasing the Tom Cruise tentpole five days early in IMAX theaters, but shortly after the presentation began, the logic behind the decision became abundantly clear: Director Brad Bird has fashioned this film to be seen on as large a screen as possible.
Paramount screened two scenes, the first of which was the clear highlight. It takes place shortly after the IMF has been shuttered by the president after some sort of cataclysmic event. Superspy Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF refugees, played by Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Paula Patton, are en route to Dubai's Burj Khalifa -- the tallest building in the world - where, we are told, two very bad people are scheduled to meet. With limited resources and time running short, they hastily concoct a scheme to prevent the meeting that, naturally, calls for the most hazardous and complicated approach possible. Using a pair of high-tech adhesive gloves, Hunt attempts to scale the side of the building to access a room above him, but things go awry and he's forced to improvise.
This scene has already been teased in M:I 4 trailers and this featurette, but it is staggeringly cool when glimpsed on the large-format canvas. Most impressive to my eyes was the establishing shot of the building, a sweeping aerial dazzler in which the camera soars up to and then over the towering edifice, slowing down at the top and peering directly down at it. The moment, in which we are essentially suspended 2,700 feet in the air, is positively knee-knocking.
Also evident in the scene is the sense of humor of Bird, who made it a priority to bring a degree of levity to Ghost Protocol. The interplay between the characters crackles with a wit not seen in previous Mission: Impossible films, but without feeling forced or tonally inappropriate. Renner's character, at least in this footage, seems positioned to be the comedic whipping boy.
The second clip depicted a chase scene that begins with a low-angle shot of Hunt running from a building in pursuit of a fleeing bad guy as a massive sandstorm approaches. Seen on an IMAX screen, Cruise's trademark stride becomes almost freakishly intense. As the blinding snowstorm sets upon them, the two careen through the streets of Dubai, first on foot and then in BMWs, the diminished visibility adding another layer of suspense to the chase.
All told, Bird shot nearly 30 minutes of footage for Ghost Protocol using IMAX cameras, and if what I saw is any indication of what to expect when the film opens in IMAX on December 16, it should easily become the format's most successful release to date.

DUNEDIN, Florida - R.A. Dickey is starting opening day, April 2 vs. Cleveland at the Rogers Centre. Who will be catching the knuckleballer remains unclear and manager John Gibbons says he isn't compelled to put J.P. Arencibia in the lineup just because it's the first game.
"No. I mean, it is a big day and an exciting day," said Gibbons. "But if we're better off with one of the other guys catching, then he'll catch Dickey. We've got to think about Dickey right there."
Henry Blanco, a New York Met in 2010, caught Dickey in seven games that season. Josh Thole, acquired from the Mets in the Dickey trade, caught Dickey in 66 games in New York.

With manager Jim Leyland's resignation expected later today at a scheduled press conference, the Detroit Tigers are losing one of the most baseball-savvy managers in all of Major League Baseball.
It would be a big enough question mark for the team to lose just Leyland, but the American League Central Division champion Tigers have several major question marks headed into the offseason, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
First, as Sherman aptly points out, it is by no means time to Panic in the Motor City.
The Tigers still move forward in fine shape, with arguably the best hitter (Cabrera) and starter (Verlander) of this era, backed by a strong supporting cast, a top general manager (Dave Dombrowski) and a go-for-it owner (Mike Ilitch).
The biggest decision? Decide whether or not to trade the man who will likely take home the AL Cy Young Award after the postseason concludes: right-hander Max Scherzer.
Despite the multiple reports stating that the team is exploring trading Scherzer, Sherman says that Dombrowski told him, "Anyone who says that has been discussed on a serious level is wrong."
Scherzer is still under team control in 2014, which – should the team actually decide to deal him – increases his value exponentially, given the full season of team control.
However, as Sherman states, the Tigers have three contracts of more than $20 million annually in Cabrera, Fielder and Verlander – with Cabrera's coming off after the 2015 season.
The other glaring question is whether or not the team will bring back former shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who was a key bat in the lineup throughout the postseason, after his 50-game suspension this season for PED usage.
Detroit acquired shortstop Jose Iglesias at the midseason mark, and his defensive skills make him the logical choice heading into 2014. He could join with second baseman Hernan Perez to help the team save money in the infield and make a run at signing Scherzer to a long-term deal.
As for Sherman, he sees the team making several moves heading into next season:
Still, my gut says Detroit will keep Scherzer in a rotation with Verlander, Anibal Scherzer and Doug Fister as the strength of the team. Instead, to better afford Scherzer's roughly $15 million salary for 2013, the Tigers will try to trade Rick Porcello (two years from free agency) and not give the $14.1 million tender to free-agent Jhonny Peralta.
With a new skipper and the potential for major turnover on the roster, the Tigers will look to replicate their success of recent years and finally capture that elusive World Series championship.
