Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son attended part of the 3rd grade, all of his 5th grade year, and is currently enrolled for 6th. During the 4th grade, he was (unprovoked) attacked in the bathroom severly by another student. He told the substitute teacher who didn't believe him. When I spoke to the principal, he "Called home and warned the parents if it happened again he would suspend the student". I had my son transferred out. There is a new principal now, and last year my son had a good teacher, but this year's teacher doesn't understand her students nor does she care to go above and beyond to assist students who don't fit the typical student mold. I am getting zero communication on behavior, which I requested. Zero also on any assistance with simple organizational needs which would help his academics tremendously. Zero tolerance on his socially awkward behaviors which make him stand out in class and embarrass him - the teacher punishes these behaviors rather than teaching him how to change them and boosting, rather than trashing, his self-esteem. I will again be requesting a transfer. My only positive comment - I think the new principal is doing a great job - I'm just not thrilled with some of the teachers.
Centennial seems to be very well balanced. They have some great teachers and great programs including academics and sports. There is a diverse cultural population and a caring environment. Office staff (administration)is new so some things may need to be worked out there, but overall, I am very happy with my child's educational experience.
This school has been a tremendous dissappointment. My child fell through the cracks and was left to fall behind. The communication between parent and teacher was never available to me. It was a very rough year for me and my child.
Concidering I had four children go to this school at the end, the last child I had no help what so ever for her behaivor or her school grades... They always passed the buck on the parents. There attitude was ' must be the parents fault '.

"The best advice on writing I've ever received was probably something Ted Solotaroff told me years ago when he was my editor. Going over a manuscript line by line again and again he kept reminding me, "Remember, this is your book, not my book. You're the one who's going to have to live with it the rest of your life. I might publish 30 or 40 books this year, you're only going to publish one, and probably the only one you're going to publish in two or three years.""

The Salvation Army held its 5th
Annual Mascot Challenge on Saturday. The Mascot Challenge was a special event
for the Army's annual Red Kettle Campaign. The event raised more than $1,910.
The mascots from Concordia
College, Minnesota State University Moorhead and North Dakota State University
"battled" it out at Scheels for several hours on Saturday. The Kernel, Scorch
and Thundar enthusiastically greeted shoppers, bantered with one another and
posed for pictures with fans while student athletes and athletic department
leaders rang the bells in hopes that their kettle would raise the most money.
Thundar from NDSU had the top
income producing kettle at $997. MSUM's Scorch came in second at $521, and
Concordia's The Kernel provided an additional $392.
"The Mascot Challenge was a
wonderful, fun-filled and creative way for the athletic departments of our
local colleges to raise funds for The Salvation Army," said The Salvation
Army's Captain Bill Mealy. "We are so grateful to the mascots, the student
athletes and the athletic department leadership teams for supporting our
ministry in this manner. A special thanks
goes out to Scheels for hosting this annual event."
Additional volunteers are
needed to help staff the 34 kettles located across Fargo Moorhead between now
and December 24. Businesses, organizations, families and individuals are all
needed to help 'ring the bells'. Call 701-356-2691
to sign up.
The three colleges in the F-M area had a friendly competition today. Three mascots, Scorch from MSUM, Thundar from NDSU, and Kernel from Concordia all competed in the Mascot Challenge.
They were ringing bells for the Salvation Army to see who could raise the most money. The NDSU Bison have won the competition every year. All the proceeds go to the Salvation Army who's goal is to raise over eight hundred thousand dollars for the F-M community.
"All it takes is every time you pass a kettle, put in a buck. So here's my deer hat, that's to remind you to be a dear, to put in dough, all of those kinds of things it's really really important. It's two thirds of the Salvation Army's budget so it really is critical, it's a critical need." says Margie Bailly who helps the Salvation Army.
The mascot who got the most money donated will be announced on Monday, and the school will gain bragging rights for a year.

Parenting Todays Teens with Mark Gregston

Longview, TX
Description: Radio programs hosted by Mark Gregston (see www.heartlightministries.org) on topics of troubled teenagers and offering help for their parents.
Now Playing
Focusing on the Right Thing
(Click title to listen)
When a fight breaks out between you and your teenager at home… what's the focus of your anger?
When tensions run high, you're probably focused on a couple things: The problem you're arguing about… and the behaviors in your teen that need to change. Hey, these are important considerations, but I'd like to challenge you to add one more focus. Next time you're in a fight, think about your role in the conflict.
Step away from the heat of the battle and reflect. Ask yourself: Have I done anything to ignite this issue? Is there something I need to correct in my own behavior before correcting my teen?
It's a convicting question. It takes two people to engage in battle. So make sure you've searched your contribution… before you lash out at your kids.

It helps to have a supportive family when going through the rigors of a full MLB season. Well, that's exactly what Michael Morse's fiancé Jessica Etably has provided for him.
Morse had a break out season in 2011. Originally starting in the outfield, he showed his flexibility by moving to first base after Adam LaRoche was lost for the season with an injury. Not skipping a beat, he put up great numbers that put him in contention to make the All Star team. Enter fiancé Jessica and her family with a campaign to get him to the game. Although Morse ultimately wasn't voted in, he had to feel good about his soon to be in-laws having his back.
It's not just on the field that Morse gets support from Etably. In an interview with MLB.com, Morse shed some light on why he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. "If I have a bad day, she is real quick to remind me there is always tomorrow. It's great to always have somebody in your corner like that. She understands baseball, she understands this game and how it pretty much takes over our lives. She is 100 percent for it. She is more excited than me to start the season."
Morse proposed to Etably following the 2010 season. Their big day is planned for November, adding to the busy wedding offseason of the Nationals (which includes Ryan Zimmerman).Michael Morse's girlfriend Jessica Etably,

Richly concentrated blackberry and raspberry fruit aromas accented by delicate violet and rose petal. A subtle and pleasing minerality helps to complement the lush briary fruit. On the palate, an abundance of black currant and wild berries. The opulent berry flavor drenches the palate. The middle softens to fig and sea-salted caramel, with restrained spice, intermingling to provide a long and decadent finish.
"Fragrant wilted rose notes are elegant and delicate, with ripe plum and wild berry flavors that are deceptively concentrated and detailed, picking up a raspberry, fresh loam and black tea edge on the finish."

"The character of the Sonoma Coast comes through in the 2010 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard. Bright, chiseled and focused, the 2010 impresses for its energy and vibrancy. Slightly gamy at times, the Kanzler boasts great balance, complexity and class. The addition of a small amount of whole clusters adds aromatic lift on the finish. This is another terrific showing from Kosta-Browne. "

The Bruins are going to have to make some significant changes going into the second game of the home and home series with the Detroit Red Wings this coming Sunday.
While it would be easy to blame Tuukka Rask for Friday's 6-1 loss at home to Detroit, the bigger issue for the Bruins is their mental toughness. The Bruins followed a 5-3 win against the Dallas Stars with a 2-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks. In almost identical fashion the Bruins followed up their 8-6 win over divisional rival Montreal with yesterday's lifeless display against the Red Wings.
If the Bruins are going to have any chance of beating the very same Red Wings squad, the Bruins have to find a way to stabilize their game.
"Well, yeah, I mean it is something that we are looking for, more consistency," Bruins' captain Zdeno Chara said. "Following up big wins and emotional games like we had. I don't know, it's just one of those nights that we didn't have it."
There is no doubt that contributing to this lack of constancy has been Rask's goaltending. Rask, who showed so much promise in 2009, has a record of 4-11-1. Friday's game was a microcosm of his season so far.
Rask failed to stop the first two shots the Red Wings took and allowed goals at nearly identical times, at 1:10 and 1:09, to start the first and second periods. Not even David Krejci's goal at the end of the first period was enough to infuse life into the comatose Bruins. The coup de grace was Todd Bertuzzi's second goal of the game.
"Yeah, I stopped it backhand and then I missed the puck pretty much," Rask said. "And then I didn't want him to get the goal from behind the net but then he just shot it at my skate … off my skate, off my head and in and that's it."
Just 3:22 later Rask was taken out of the game and replaced by Tim Thomas. In making his decision to pull Rask, Claude Julien acknowledged that Rask had made some quality saves but he just wasn't as sharp as he needed to be on that night. Rask didn't disagree with Julien's decision.
"I'm not going to start analyzing that. I thought I deserved to get pulled. I didn't play to my level today," Rask said, who also accepted that it wasn't his lack of playing time that was translating to his inconsistent performances on the ice.
In addition to Rask's maturity in dealing with this adversity, it is encouraging that both Rask's coaches and teammates have the young goalies back. It is this team strength that will be integral to the Bruins getting back on track.
Yesterday's game marked the second straight game the Bruins have allowed six goals. The 6-1 result was the first time this season the Bruins lost by more than three goals. As tough as a season as Rask has had, he is still vital to Boston's success moving forward.
The Bruins should be confident heading into Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Sunday. Boston hasn't lost the second game of any of their previous three home and home series this year. Friday's result will be recent enough to motivate the Bruins but will allow for adequate time to make adjustments.
"You don't like to sit around too much," said forward Mark Recchi. "Sunday at 12:30 we have to be ready and be a lot different team. Show them what the Boston Bruins are really made of and make a good game of it."

Moreno: "We should be a highly competitive team"
The countdown now stands at eight. In eight days, Angels pitchers and catchers are slated to report to the club's Spring Training complex in Tempe, Ariz., and several important position players — well, at least Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo — will file in at about the same time.
The Angels have been quiet for a while, with the last big signing being the Howie Kendrick extension of early January, but this was probably already the most successful offseason in franchise history by Dec. 8, when a couple of guys you may have heard of signed on the dotted line.
What that means with regards to what happens in 2012 and beyond? Well, that remains to be seen.
And we'll start finding out on Feb. 19.
"I really get excited about next week, pitchers and catchers, and players coming in," Angels owner Arte Moreno said in a phone interview on Saturday. "Everybody's in first place right now, undefeated."
I spoke with Arte (he told me to call him that) for a feature on Jerry Dipoto that will run next week, as the last installment of our baseball-operations series, and was able to get into the upcoming season. Here's what he said about the club …
On not knowing anything until games are played: We won 86 [games] last year; we had a very good team. We didn't finish some games off, and we didn't score the runs, so what we tried to do was improve on what we have. But ultimately, we're going to tell you what's going on next October. Everybody's trying to figure it out right now, but I think at the end of the day, we're all going to see how our decision-making, our investments, etc., turned out by the end of the year. … Right now, everybody's undefeated. But there should be a lot of optimism from everybody.
On the uber-competitive American League: On paper, I think we should be a highly competitive team. But you look at Detroit, and Detroit won their division comfortably last year, and they improved their team. With [Justin] Verlander on the front end, it's always great. Prince [Fielder], he's a hammer, with him and [Miguel] Cabrera. And then you look at the Yankees, maybe odds-on [favorites]. Boston, I know what happened last year, but Boston's a very good ballclub. And Tampa, with that young pitching, and [Joe] Maddon, they play great. I'm probably missing a couple of teams, but I think it's very competitive. You're going to just have to play them. And I didn't even talk about Texas, which was in the World Series the last two years. They obviously pound the ball, and they picked up the free-agent Japanese pitcher [Yu Darvish], and that's always fun. And we get to see a lot of them in spring, which is great.
On the budding Rangers-Angels rivalry: Well, believe it or not, there are 28 other teams than the Rangers and ourselves. … But to me, you look and just say, 'Right now, they have the brass ring, and it's our job to try to grab it.'
On the makeup of this team: A lot of the players on our team are home grown. I've known a lot of them for a lot of years – in May it'll be nine years for me – and a lot of these guys, [Kendrys] Morales and Howie Kendrick and [Erick] Aybar and [Alberto] Callaspo — even though he went away for a while, but he's homegrown. You've got [Jered] Weaver and [Ervin] Santana and some of the young bullpen guys, and then [Peter] Bourjos, and we'll see [Mike] Trout in the spring. And then [Dan] Haren and Weaver and C.J. [Wilson] all grew up in Orange County or close to Orange County.
On Kendrys Morales bouncing back: He's a really nice young man. We signed him out of Cuba, so he's always been one of our favorites. It's always tough to see a kid go down on a walk-off grand slam. Holy mackerel. Game-winner. And he worked hard last year and didn't get it done. He's worked hard, so obviously we'd love to see him. A couple of years ago, he was vying for MVPs, so there's a lot of power from both sides and he hits for average. That's an important part. That was really the missing piece [last year], and Trumbo did a good job last year stepping in.
On what he expects from Kendrys: You don't know until guys go down for Spring Training and see how he feels. What you try to do is get everybody prepared. … I tell people all the time, the fun of it is getting prepared. Everybody thinks that somebody has some kind of special mind-reading ability or something like that. But the fun of baseball is that every day is a new day and you've got a new game and you've got a new season. It's like running three marathons. We had two teams that got in [the playoffs] on the last day of the season last year, and one of them won the World Series. So, you can write it on the paper upside-down, sideways, whatever, it doesn't matter.

Man pleads innocent to assaultJuly 09,2013A Rutland man pleaded innocent Monday to a charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault for alledgedly beating his girlfriend.
Jesse Neil, 31, was ordered held at the Rutland jail for a lack of $10,000 bail.
According to court documents, Neil was arrested Saturday following a fight with his girlfriend at a home on Howe Street in Rutland.
Police said he had been drinking and arguing with his girlfriend and other people. When he was asked to leave, police said, Neil refused to do so which prompted his girlfriend to lightly push him out of the way.
Police said this escalated to the point where Neil allegedly hit his girlfriend in the back of the head and grabbed her by the arm roughly.
If convicted, Neil faces up to 15 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from... Full Story

Law Soc moots class action against Solicitors from Hell website
Readers' comments (68)
The legal profession needs to look itself in the mirrior and ask why it has attracted record number of complaints in recent years, more than any other profession I believe. The public view of the Law Society and the SRA is that they are more like trade bodies rather for the consumer protection or interest.
Clearly, self regulation no longer works or is trusted by the public and therefore a more robust and completely independent regulator is the answer if the profession is serious about restoring the public trust and confidence.
Don't worry about freedom of speech. Let's just make a step back and bring China here. Well done Law Society and Bar Council!
dear law soc - don't forget about that guy who ran ACS law, his scam was much worse.
If the process that was in place for complaints worked or was more tranparent the need or perceived need for this website would be non existent. All the general public are looking for is accountablilty, the same that they receive in day to day life.
The solicitors profession attracts record levels of complaints. It has done for years and there is no sign that anyone is getting on top of it, although the LSA is meant to help address this. Having been on the 'Solicitors from Hell' website, the complaints I looked at were well documented and people seem to believe that they have genuine grievances. I wouldn't want to be any of the firms fingered by complainants!
I completely understand why this website exists. I work in the law - have complained against another law firm and the response provided by the Law Society certianly does not inspire or motivate one to complain!:
"We are grateful to you for bringing this matter to our attention. Our purpose is to ensure that clients receive a good service from the firms and individuals we regulate, and we rely upon information from others to ensure that any risks to the public are identified swiftly.
The information which you have provided has been carefully assessed. If we consider that the information you have provided, and any other information we may hold, means that we should make further enquiries or take action, I can assure you that we will do so.
We may seek further information from you if that is necessary, but we do not generally provide reports on our enquiries. I recognise that this may be disappointing to you but I hope that you will understand the reasons. It is partly because our enquiries may include confidential information, but also because we try to devote our resources to taking action if we consider there is a risk to the public. Where we do take formal action leading to serious disciplinary and regulatory outcomes the results are published on our website in most circumstances."
I think someone should start a "doctors from hell" and a "hospital consultants from hell" website. I have some good material. Such sites would give the BMA apoplexy.
Also pathologists from hell eg Freddy Patel.
There are more than 1,000 posts about lawyers on solicitorsfromhell. Rick Kordowski started the site after proving to the law Society that two lawyers, one acting for him and one against, colluded to defraud him of his home, his business and over £100,000. He was awarded £500 compensation. He cannot therefore afford representation. He is not the best litigant in person. However, less than twenty lawyers have challenged their postings, with the shallow claim that they won't get their costs back. If they had genuine claims to be removed they would stomach the £10,000 costs. Rick Kordowski is learning, however, (albeit perhaps slowly) and this class action is a disgusting attempt by a crooked legal profession to close him down before he gets to the Appeal stage. In his case against Awdry, Bailey and Douglas/Bressington vs solicitorsfromhell, the applicants did not prosecute the source, only the publisher, despite threats to do so, and succeeded in a late application to waive the initial interim hearing when they saw the weak defence papers prepared by Kordowski. They then tried to block late submission of papers by the defendant. Very fishy, just what were they worried about? Another twist......Bressington, the lawyer complained of, sits on the SRA, and this is one of the Appeals that is taking a long time to be dealt with.
Throughout 3 1/2 years I had repeated grounds to complain about the conduct of the other sides solicitor. I was advised by my own solicitor that all I could do was to complain to the Law Society once it was all over. I did this and the newly named Legal Ombudsman sent me this reply, "The Legal Ombudsman is only able to investigate service complaints about lawyers who have acted for the complainant. We are unable to investigate complaints about the conduct of a lawyer or a lawyer who has acted for a third party. " They then pointed me towards the SRA, but I then discovered that they have a time limit. Why is that? If misconduct has taken place then surely it should be robustly investigated? I was so exhausted with the process after 31/2 years I needed a break.
I think these websites are good ,it will help to clean the Legal field out of corrupt solicitors. Take it for insance at a time of investing a solicitors firm of a missing money, we were imformed from the vine yard that those solicitors have various bank accounts in Foreing Names. Make your own guess.

The U.S. Department of Education has awarded $38.8 million in Safe and Supportive School (SSS) grants to 11 states to measure school safety at the building level and to provide federal funds for interventions in those schools with the greatest needs. The ultimate goal of the grants is to create and support safe and drug-free learning environments, and increase academic success for students in these high-risk schools.
Funds may be used by state education agencies to develop measurement systems that will enable them to assess conditions for learning within individual schools, including school safety, and to make this information publicly available. Using this data, states will work in collaboration with participating local educational agencies to improve the learning environment within schools facing the biggest challenges.
The grants are housed within the Office of Safe and Healthy Students, which supports efforts to create safe schools, respond to crises, prevent drug and alcohol abuse, ensure the health and well being of students, and teach students good citizenship and character. The office also coordinates the Department's efforts in these areas with other federal agencies.

Payers drive quality care with NQF measures
To improve the quality and safety of medication use, the National Quality Forum (NQF) has endorsed measures that cover a variety of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and psychiatric disorders. These measures assess whether patients have appropriate medication prescribed to treat the disease, receive a sufficient supply of medications in order to follow the treatment, have their medication reviewed annually, have their medication reviewed when discharged from the hospital, and receive appropriate monitoring.
Among medication-related measures endorsed by NQF are:
Antipsychotic use and adherence among schizophrenic patients. Schizophrenia is most often first encountered in young adulthood and is placed among the top contributors to the global burden of disease. Antipsychotic medications remain the cornerstone of treatment and can substantially reduce the risk of relapse (less than 30% per year). Without maintenance on antipsychotics, 60% to 70% of patients relapse within one year, and 90% relapse within two years.
The intent of this measure is to ensure that patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were prescribed the appropriate medications and have received a sufficient supply of medications in order to follow the treatment as prescribed by their physicians. Compliance for this measure in 2007 ranged from 52% to 80% across health plans, representing an opportunity to measure adherence and manage patients to ensure the best outcomes possible.
ACE inhibitors/Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) use and persistence among coronary artery disease patients. Several large, randomized, control trials have found that high-risk patients with coronary artery disease who received ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) have significantly lower risk of heart attack or stroke.
The intent of this measure is to ensure that patients with high-risk coronary artery disease are appropriately managed, and are given ACEI/ARB medication, including assurance that the patients have received a sufficient supply of medications. Compliance for this measure in 2007 ranged from 32% to 65% across health plans.
Adherence of lipid-lowering medication. More than 50 million U.S. adults have blood cholesterol levels high enough to require medical advice and treatment. Poor adherence to drug therapy remains a major therapeutic challenge. On average, patients who are prescribed lipid-lowering drugs do not fill their prescriptions for over one-third of the year. Only half of patients continue to take lipid-lowering drugs six months after they are given a prescription, and only 30% to 40% of patients continue to take them after 12 months.
The clinical intent of this measure is to ensure patients who are taking medications to treat hyperlipidemia filled sufficient medication to have at least 80% coverage during the measurement year. Compliance for this measure among health plans ranges from 58% to 75%.
By measuring quality and safety of medication use, payers can directly impact the quality of care, reduce total healthcare costs and improve the quality of life for their members.
Judy Y. Chen, MD, MSHS, is the director, research and clinical development for the payer solutions business line at IMS Health.
Encourage clinical evidence for pediatric medication use
Studying drugs in younger populations is challenging, and the scarcity of pediatric studies limits the ability of doctors and scientists to accurately predict drug dosing, safety and efficacy in children.
Plans of all sizes must compete in ever consolidating market
For the next several years, "consolidation" will be the watchword for the healthcare industry as plans and providers position themselves for the changing market.
Opponents lash out at reform provisions
A few states have threatened to shut down Medicaid programs, and some say they won't set up local insurance exchanges if they have to meet all the requirements of the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act.
The impact and magnitude of expenditures should have made Part D an immediate enforcement priority for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Expect extra office visits to monitor thyroid patients
Poor thyroid function can be treated through several drug choices.

Florida — Disgraced golfer Tiger Woods said he is improving his golf game and focusing on how to become a better father to his two and three-year-old children.
The golfer, who appeared on Good Morning America, said that the last two years have been extremely tough being a single father, but he feels he's learned a lot throughout his struggles.
"I'm going to look at the fact that I need to keep progressing," he said. "I need to keep escalating my skills. And that's what I'm doing."

The food is fresh, carefully made, and delicious. Portions are substantial. When I order rare grilled salmon I get RARE grilled salmon. Service is exellent. I highly recommend tbis restaurant. The cost is lower than restaurants in this area.

Best Italian food in Lincoln Center area. Went with a party of 5 and had a perfect experience. Service, salads, entrees, and desserts, were a dream! I highly recommend Luce's.

I had the chance to visit this friendly Italian restaurant at Broadway Ave and found a great food, plus a nice decor, very attentive and pleasant staff. I will definitively return.

My husband and I ate here before the opera last week. The hostess seated us outside promptly and our waiter was friendly. The bread came with a delicious tomato paste spread, and we coudln't get enough of it. We both dined on a goat cheese and baby spinach salad, and loved the dressing. My main meal was ravioli with a creamy mushroom sauce, while my husband enjoyed taglierini with chicken. The only disappointing part of the meal was dessert, which was a little too frozen and needed some thawing. Otherwise a great meal and great prices.

I walked by with my friends one day and decided to go in for a light dinner. Bad choice! I've never had such an awful experience at a restaurant and I am writing my first review to warn others from this place. The food is over priced and lackluster. With the price you would think the service would be great. Think again the service is bad! We were ignored and had the rude waiter ruined our evening. He even actually had the nerve to look over my shoulder when we were calculating the tip! I am regular restaurant goer who loves food and finding great restaurants. I would place this restaurant on the bottom of the rating scale. Definately do not go there!

my 2 guests from Eurpoe and I had a late luncheon. The waiter was pleasant, took our order and forgot about us. When to food arrived, the pasta was soggy and covered with sauce. The fish, as well vegetables were cold. I wanted to send to whole order back. However, my friends just picked on it and were glad to get out of there. Not a good choice. Beware! I believe the food is cooked NOT TO ORDER.

One night my wife and I after Lincoln Center performance stopped for dinner at Luce which turned to become another one of our favorite restaurants. We shared a papardelle duck pasta as an appetizer, for second course my wife had almond crust red snapper I had their sea salt crust Bass. Food was assume. Waiter recommended us their sav. blanc which turned to be good and inexpensive bottle of wine. Even though they were very busy, they set us very quick; service was great, food very affordable for table cloth restaurant near Lincoln Center. We went back couple of time since then. P.S. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

30 Days of Shipping Challenge - Day Nine: Most believable relationship.
♥Ororo Munroe & Thor Odison: Two super heroes that control lightning, are considering gods and have have casual conversations. They are believable, to be honest. If you don't count the fact that in another universe, they've had smack downs and his brother wanted her as his queen, hey, they're perfect. I think Ororo and Thor can really speak each other's language. When I say that, I mean they have that same level of understanding. And that's why they are given the chance to work out in this particular universe. And, I can't really lie, Ororo can have a believable relationship with anyone.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Recipe: The Classic Negroni Cocktail
The 10-Minute Happy Hour
The classic Negroni cocktail might be my favorite drink. I know this is a bold statement, but the combination of four simple ingredients is seriously the perfect sip. A friend once said, "That's a guy's drink right?" Au contraire, mon frere. This cocktail is sexy and smooth and perfectly suited for either gender in need of a delicious happy hour.The Negroni, A Gaz Regan Notion is packed with stories from drink pros like Wondrich, Salvatore Calabrese, Dale DeGroff, and Jim Meehan. Most bar men and women have had a love affair with this tiny wonder on ice.
The mere existence of the book proves you need to get to know the Negroni, that is if you don't already have a special place in your heart for it. Grab a glass, ice- filled of course, and get to stirring your way to a stellar happy hour tonight.
Just curious... Do you think a drink can be a "guy's drink" or a "girl's drink"? Please discuss!
Classic Negroni Recipe
1 ounce Campari
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce gin
Flamed orange peel for garnish
Combine all of the ingredients in a short glass filled with ice and stir.
Run the flamed orange peel around the edge of the glass, lightly squeezing to express the oils. Drop the peel into the glass and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
- A plain orange peel works just as well here.

I have never heard a Negroni termed a "guy's drink" before in my life.
I'm female, and have always preferred my whiskey straight. This has led to quite a few witless conversations in bars with guys who think that's a "guy's drink." The best though was when the gray-haired guy in a mechanic's jacket shouted "Cheers!" over the Latest Witless Dude to toast me with his Cosmopolitan. I can't stand those. Him? "I love these things! My neice make 'em the best!"
I love 'em (and concur, they've never seemed particularly gendered to me).
Now I always think of the cringe-tacular Awl article that culminates in screaming about Negronis:
Booze has gender specifications?
I've never seen a man with a cosmo, but maybe I don't get out enough.
Cocktails definitely cannot be "gendered" or shouldn't be. Everyone has different tastes and prefers different drinks. Particularly, not everyone likes the bitterness of the Negroni, but I absolutely love it.
I like a plain margarita on the rocks in a salt rimmed glass. My husband likes the fruity, frozen margaritas. When we receive our drinks, the server invariably switches them. We just smile and trade glasses.
I've never had a Negroni, but I love Campari and soda. My husband doesn't.
@nannypoo, that was the one and only time I ever saw a guy with a Cosmo. Carrie Bradshaw & crew definitely made that one a gendered drink.
I love love love love love these, and highly recommend Punt e Mes vermouth.
Loves me a Negroni. I usually have them after dinner, as a digestif, or as a summer afternoon cocktail.
I was just in Madrid and we walked into a wonderful little bar (1862, on Calle Pez) and I didn't know what I wanted to drink. I saw a bottle of Campari and knew. It was wonderful, perfectly made.
This bar, btw, makes all their cocktails with exquisite care and they make them slowly. If you're ever in Madrid, it's a great place to seek out.
I'm a man who loves a Cosmo now and again, and I know plenty of men who drink them--both gay and straight men, btw.
Don't know about cocktails, but there are fewer women who like smoky peaty scotch varieties like Laphroaig. In my experience, that is. And I know a couple of women who do.
Tried the Negroni, but really didn't care for it. Now I have an almost-full bottle of Campari!
I'm a Laphroaig loving lady!
can not wait to try it
Great cocktail. Here's one of my favorite recipes for a more Parisian-style negroni: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeiavY3m7pM

I am trying to create a new linetype using arrows to show the direction of a flow. I can get the outline of my arrow head to save as a shape, but have not figured out how to save the hatching to show up in a linetype. I need the arrow head to be shaded in solid. How can I make this appear this way? Also is there any downloadable linetypes out there for Civil 3D?
You can't save a hatch in a shape. You have to use repeated parallel lines, close together, to simulate a solid hatch.
You could also use the measure or divide command. Run the command, select the beginning side of your polyline, specify "Block", and set it to align to the polyline.
Or you can make any mview block populate or slide along a polyline.

IMT adds sixth bond option to its arsenal of hermetic wafer level packaging
IMT, a pioneer in the development and implementation of wafer level packaging, introduced its hermetic gold-to-gold (Au-Au) thermo compression bonding today.
In development for nearly a year, this bond is being actively used in production, and it represents one of the lowest cost methods of achieving a hermetic wafer level package (WLP) bond available in the market.
In addition to the Au-Au thermo compression and the other bond technologies supported, IMT's flagship remains its proprietary low-temperature hermetic eutectic bond. With sealing temperatures below 190oC and support for reflow temperatures of more than 500oC, this bond is ideal for temperature-sensitive sensors or electronics that require a hermetic package. The bond line width is controlled at less than 50 microns maximizing space for application functionality while keeping the package small and product costs lower.

"For Question 6: Maryland should be consistent with the intent of the 1st and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. We are the "Free State" afterall."
It was a Sunday night about 6 years ago and my parents called me up. I said I couldn't talk too long because I was headed out to the movies. My father asked "Which movie are you going to see?" A bit hesitantly, I replied, "Brokeback Mountain." I was not expecting my 92-year-old Dad to reply, "What a terrific movie. We saw it Tuesday. Excellent acting, beautiful setting, interesting story."
I was shocked. I would not have expected my elderly parents to approve of this film. "Dad, did you know what it was about before you went," I asked.
"Of course we knew, we don't live in a cave," he replied. "Listen to me, two guys walk into a carpet store. The first guy likes blue carpet, the other guy likes green carpet. That's just the way the world is."
My parents were both Holocaust survivors and understood in a very profound way what discrimination meant.
-Toni Greenberg, Reisterstown, Md.
I am FOR Question 6: On any given day while reading the Sun, it is clear that we live in a world filled with way too much hate, violence, and sorrow. If two people - regardless of gender - want to make a life-long commitment to each other based on being in love, I say bravo! It's time we speak out for fairness and equality … it's time we stand up for marriage equality … President Obama is FOR Question 6, Congressman Cummings is FOR Question 6, I am FOR Question 6.
- Steven Rivelis, Baltimore, Md.
I read both of two debates published in the Sun - "Vote no to immorality" and "Same-sex couples are good parents." I am in total agreement with a vote against question 6. I have gay friends and family members; however to me, marriage has nothing to do with their equal rights. They can buy homes together, get insurance together, decide to be buried together, adopt a child together and enjoy just about everything that heterosexual couples enjoy. What does marriage have to do with it? You are not man and woman. Period. Enjoy your life, and be happy that you have these rights. A marriage ceremony/license is only a small part of it.
- Marie Harvin, Baltimore, Md.
On November 7, however the votes may have fallen, I will still be marrying my fiancee. He proposed, I said "of course," and we're going to be married next October. For or against, the votes won't change that.
Question 6 isn't about redefinition. Marylanders already define marriage in a myriad of ways — some people are in the same relationship for decades, others are on their third or fourth partners, but it is all still marriage. Question 6 is about opening up the same civil rights afforded to some Americans for all Americans, regardless of the make-up of their family. I shouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars on lawyer fees just to secure the right to visit my spouse in the hospital, should it ever come to that. No one for Question 6 is begging to get the church involved, that's the beauty of the bill. You can maintain your religious opinions, for or against, without denying anyone's civil rights.
- Carl Armstrong, Baltimore, Md.
"Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that we are a Christian nation or that the religious majority has the right to impose their doctrine on the remainder of the population."
"Don't limit the freedom to marry."
I'm a bit confused by this statement. After all, there's all sorts of limits involved in marriage. Marriage is limited to those who are not close relatives. Marriage is limited by age — a 14-year-old can't get married even if she is "in love." Marriage is limited by species. You can't marry your pet. And marriage is limited by number. You can't marry two women at the same time, or three men.
While I suspect that at least some of these ideas strike most of us as distasteful or even repulsive, let's be frank—there are individuals and indeed groups in our country today advocating every one of these positions. And while some today advocate the union of two men as a "marriage" (or two women for that matter), I think most people know that there is something unique and undeniably special in the union of a man and a woman in marriage. Anyone who has lived long enough or talked deeply with people has seen and heard the many devastating effects that go along with every sexual coupling other than one man and one woman joined for life under God.
It saddens me to now live in a state, as well as a nation, who has forgotten the moral foundation that made this nation great. Last I heard, there is no law that keeps people from choosing any lifestyle they want. This appears to be an all-out attack against Christians who believe what the Bible says, and what Americans and the world used to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. It has never stopped those who choose to live otherwise. So why do the push to make it a law? Passing a law won't change what people believe. Just punish those who don't agree and force our children to be more confused as they are forced to accept what may go against the morals taught in their homes and places of worship. I pray for Maryland and our nation that Jesus be merciful.
- Reath Ann, Edgewood, Md.
Common rhetoric among marriage equality opponents is that supporters are trying to "redefine marriage." Well, yeah, we're trying to change the definition of marriage according to the state. So what? You're just stating our goals, not explaining what's wrong with the redefinition of marriage.
Because in reality, there's nothing wrong with the redefinition of marriage. "Traditional" or "biblical" marriage is actually one man and as many wives, concubines, and slaves as he could afford. Traditional marriage was a business transaction that treated women as property to be owned by their husbands. Marriage was originally a completely secular ritual.
When the church declared marriage a holy sacrament in 1215, they redefined marriage. When the church declared that marriage must be performed by a priest, in public, in front of witnesses (in the 16th century,) they redefined marriage. When polygamy was outlawed, they redefined marriage. Divorce is a redefinition of marriage. Second, third, and fourth marriages are redefinition of marriage. A wife being equal to her husband is a redefinition of marriage.
So I really don't get your point. Yes, we are trying to "redefine marriage." That's our explicitly stated goal. Now that you understand what we're trying to do, could you please explain why you oppose it?
No one defines my marriage but my husband and me! And, I will not define anyone else's marriage. It is sinful for anyone to impose their religious beliefs on other people. Period.
I will vote YES.

The Loh Down On Science
How starfish keep their cool out of water
Pincebourde et al., J. of Exp. Biol., 2013.
Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between average arm temperature and central disk temperature in sea stars. Notice the progression, as temperature increases, from individuals with intact arms (black circles) to individuals with lost arms (blue triangles) to individuals who died (red squares). Caption modified from original for clarity.
Can sunbathing lead to … limb loss?!
This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science
Saying, it can if you're a sea star.
During low tide, sea stars—AKA starfish—may bake in the sun for hours. How do they keep their cool?
French marine scientist Sylvain Pincebourde knows. He collected starfish from the coast and housed them in an empty lab aquarium. Heat lamps served as the sun. He let them simmer at various temperatures.
At hotter treatments, he noticed something, uh, fishy. His subjects' limbs started falling off! What the?! Some lost three of their five appendages. The, uh, cut-off temperature? About 91 degrees Fahrenheit.
Turns out limb loss actually aids survival. A heat-sensitive camera revealed why. The crispy critters' arms were always four degrees toastier than their central disks. Their feelers take most of the heat! Which can fry them to the point of amputation. But that saves their vitals. And heck, those limbs grow back!
But for the rest of you, do not try this at home. And sun screen? Still recommended!
