Talking About Teaching - Together but Still Unequal
Together but Still Unequal – Understanding Educational Inequality in Well Resourced Institutions
This talk by Dr. R. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy (The City College of New York–CUNY) will examine the ways that racial and class inequalities are perniciously transmitted in contemporary educational settings. While a great deal of research and analysis has framed educational inequality as based on gross differences in resources between cities and suburbs, this is not the full story. In a growing number of suburban schools districts and institutions of higher education students from diverse backgrounds share classrooms, teachers, and educational resources. How then, in these environments, does inequality emerge and persist? Drawing from original qualitative research at the K-12 level as well as analysis of contemporary higher education correlates, Dr. Lewis-McCoy will interrogate the puzzle of inequality in well resourced settings. Specifically, he will identify some of the mechanisms by which resources become triaged between students. Finally, he will suggest classroom and campus strategies for increasing equality. The CTE will sponsor a reception following the talk in which faculty may mingle Dr. Lewis-McCoy and each other to continue the conversation.
Reception Following.

Mark Amengual on Variation Within Bilingual Communities
The Spanish Department invites the College Community to attend a research talk by Professor Mark Amengual of the University of Texas at Austin. He is a Spanish Linguistics Search Candidate and his talk is entitled "Variation Within Bilingual Communities: Motivating Differences at the Individual and Dialectical Levels."
Previous work has suggested that SPanish-Catalan bilinguals in Barcelona have difficulties in perceiving and producing the Catlan-specific mid-vowel contrast in spite of early and extensive exposure to and everyday use of Catalan. The present project examines the production and perception of the Catalan mid-vowel contrasts by 80 early Spanish-Catalan bilinguals in Majorca. Production and perception data were collected in a picture-naming task, an identification task, AD discrimination task, and lexical decision task, showing that these bilinguals do product robust mid-vowel contrasts and perceive both phonetic categories despite the open vowels being unique to Catalan. The results differ from previous studies in Barcelona supporting an interaction between the phonological and lexical levels across the two languages of a bilingual individual, and highlight the importance of considering the sociolinguistic context (input, prestige, local identity) when describing the phonetic abilities of bilingual individuals.

Kondracke on Kemp
Journalist, political commentator, and Kemp biographer Morton Kondracke will speak on "Jack Kemp and the Future of the Republican Party" as Occidental College's first Kemp Scholar.
Appointed as the first Jack Kemp Chair in Political Economy at the Library of Congress in 2011, Kondracke is writing a biography of Jack Kemp '57, the former AFL quarterback-turned-statesman who became one of the leading architects of the modern Republican party.
Kondracke spent almost half of his professional career as executive editor of Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper. Previously, he was a senior editor at The New Republic, Washington bureau chief of Newsweek, White House correspondent for the Chicago Sun-Times and a Wall Street Journal columnist. He was an original panelist on "The McLaughlin Group" and served as a Fox News commentator for 16 years.
"Mort is the ideal candidate to serve as Occidental's first Kemp Scholar," said Occidental President Jonathan Veitch. "As Jack's official biographer and as one of the country's leading conservative commentators, he will set a high standard for future scholars as we work to bring a full range of political opinion to campus."

Bourbon Bay worked seven furlongs in 1:26.80 on the Hollywood Park turf course Sunday in preparation for the $250,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap Saturday.
The Grade I Whittingham at 1 ¼ miles on grass highlights a program of four stakes that also includes the Honeymoon Handicap, Affirmed Handicap and Cinderella Stakes. The card, which begins at 11 a.m., will also feature a simulcast of the Belmont Stakes from Elmont, N.Y.
Bourbon Bay, a 5-year-old gelding, was ridden by exercise rider Debra Biggs when he worked in company with Gothic Samurai. Rafael Bejarano has the Whittingham call.
"He went well," said Hall of Fame trainer Neil Drysdale, happy with the multiple stakes winner's sixth work since returning from Dubai, where he finished a distant 11th in the Dubai Sheema Classic March 26.
"He got run into going into the first turn," explained Drysdale of the disappointing performance. Bourbon Bay has won four Grade II distance turf stakes at Santa Anita the past two years.
Drysdale, a former assistant to the legendary Whittingham, has won the race six times, one less than co-leaders Whittingham and Bobby Frankel.
Drysdale's previous winners: Both Ends Burning in 1985, Political Ambition in 1988, Storm Trooper in 1998, White Heart in 2000, Storming Home in 2003 and Artiste Royal in 2008.
David and Jill Heerensperger, who owned Artiste Royal, also own Bourbon Bay, who has won six of 17 starts and earned $539,424.
"He will probably be stalking," said Drysdale. "There's speed in the race."
Bourbon Bay, who is winless in four starts on the Hollywood Park turf, will try to foil the repeat victory bid of Acclamation, who has won four of seven starts on the grass here.
Acclamation, trained by Don Warren, led all the way to win the Whittingham by 1 ½ lengths last year and comes off a seven-length score in the Jim Murray Handicap here May 14.
Acclamation, a 5-year-old California-bred horse owned by Old English Rancho, seeks to become the first two-time winner of the Whittingham since John Henry won it three times in 1980, '81 and '84 when it was called the Hollywood Turf Invitational Handicap. Joe Talamo has the call.
Other probable starters are Falcon Rock (Brice Blanc), Haimish Hy (Tyler Baze) and the John Sadler-trained duo of Celtic New Year (Victor Espinoza) and Red Alert Day.
Celtic New Year, third-place finisher in the San Juan Capistrano Handicap at Santa Anita April 17, worked seven furlongs in 1:25.20 on Cushion Track with exercise rider Jose Alferez.
Trainer Jim Cassidy, who won the Honeymoon Handicap last year with Evening Jewel, seeks another victory in the race Saturday with Whisper Louise. The $150,000 Grade II stake is for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/8 miles on turf.
"I was very happy with her first start," said Cassidy in reference to a closing second behind Cambina in the Providencia Stakes on the Santa Anita turf April 9.
Cassidy hopes the Irish-bred English-raced filly, owned by Three Chimneys Racing, joins the long list of European imports that have blossomed under his care.
Victor Espinoza, who rode Evening Jewel last year and has won the Honeymoon three times in the past seven years, has the return call.
Cambina, who won the Providencia and two other stakes at Santa Anita before finishing third in the Senorita Stakes here May 7, worked five furlongs on turf in 1:00.20 for the Jeff Bonde Stable. Joe Talamo has the Honeymoon call.
Other probable starters include Senorita winner Star Billing (Chantal Sutherland), Senorita runner-up Entrustment, unbeaten Sarah's Secret (Rafael Bejarano) and Bonita Star (Patrick Valenzuela).
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert said Sunday that he planned to enter a formidable duo of Awesome Patriot and Coil in the $100,000 Affirmed Handicap Saturday. The Grade III stake is for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.
Awesome Patriot, wire-to-wire winner of the 1 1/8-mile Alydar Stakes May 8, worked six furlongs in 1:12.80 here and will be ridden back by Rafael Bejarano.
Coil, an impressive winner of a six-furlong optional claimer May 6, will be ridden by Martin Garcia. "I decided to stay here with Coil," said Baffert of the colt he had considered for the Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont Park the same afternoon.
Baffert, who previously won the Affirmed with General Challenge in 1999 and Point Determined in 2006, seeks to equal the record of three wins held by Jay Robbins.
Other probable starters include Akkadian (Joe Talamo), Spud Spivens (Alonzo Quinonez) and Runflatout.
Trainer Walther Solis said Sunday that he planned to start Silent Sue and Willa B Awesome in the $70,000-added Cinderella Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at 5 ½ furlongs Saturday.
Willa B Awesome, who broke her maiden at first asking at 4 ½ furlongs April 21, worked five furlongs in 59.80 and will be ridden back by Rafael Bejarano.
Silent Sue broke her maiden second time out at 4 ½ furlongs May 22.
Other probable starters include Killer Graces (Joe Talamo), Por Que' Te Quiero (Victor Espinoza) and Chloe W (Patrick Valenzuela). Unraced Chloe W worked four furlongs in 46.80 for trainer Eric Kruljac.
Trainer John Sadler never thought he was in a slump despite 24 straight stakes losses dating to February before Twirling Candy won the $150,000 Grade II Californian Saturday as the 2-5 favorite.
Sadler pointed out that most of his starters during that streak had run well and that he had several close second and third-place finishes despite conceding weight in many of those instances.
"We're running in all those stakes," said Sadler proudly of his stable Sunday. "Most guys don't run in 24 stakes in a year."
Sadler, who started the year with a flurry of stakes wins at Santa Anita, hopes to finish the second half of the Hollywood Park meet the same way.
He said that Twirling Candy came back from the Californian in good shape and remains on target for a return in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup July 9.
Sadler was also happy with Saturday works by Switch for the $250,000 Grade I Vanity Handicap June 18 and Zazu for the $150,000 Grade II Hollywood Oaks June 25.
FINISH LINES —Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith will be at Belmont Park Saturday to ride Irrefutable in the True North Handicap on the Belmont Stakes undercard, according to agent Brad Pegram. Smith will join fellow Hollywood Park-based riders Joel Rosario, Garrett Gomez and David Flores in Belmont races. Smith and Rosario will continue east to ride at Royal Ascot in England the following week before returning for the weekend of June 18…Happy birthday to Hall of Fame trainer Jack Van Berg, 75 Tuesday. Trainer Paul Schiewe also celebrates a Tuesday birthday, his 54th. Trainer Ted H. West turns 38 Wednesday….The two winning tickets in Saturday's Pick Six, each worth $518,864.80, were purchased through TVG and the Las Vegas hub.

U.S. Supreme Court Declines To Hear NRA-Backed Attack on N.J. Gun Law
The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that it will not review a Second Amendment challenge to a New Jersey law requiring "justifiable need" to carry a handgun outside one's home.
What's being said
This is the best day that those of us who do not want live with the menace of strangers carrying concealed weapon everywhere we go have had in a long time. I'm sorry to say that the interpretation given to the 2nd Amendment in our more modern USA is a legal fiction and we all know it. I'm gonna boycott Georgia.

The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in its crime victimization survey that violent crimes unexpectedly jumped 18 percent in 2011, the first rise in nearly 20 years, and property crimes rose for the first time in a decade. But the Federal Bureau of Investigation, when it released 2011 data, said both decreased.
The number of violent crimes reported to police decreased 3.8 percent last year to 1.2 million, the fifth straight year of declines, the FBI announced.
Meanwhile, the total number of property crime reported to law enforcement agencies went down by 0.5 percent to 9 million, the ninth consecutive year that figure has fallen. Property crimes resulted in estimated losses of $156.6 billion.
Locally, trends tend to follow an upward swing between 2010 and 2011, although not as drastic as that reported by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
In April, The Daily Tribune News reported in a three-part series that certain crimes had seen upticks between 2005 and 2008 in Bartow County, coinciding with the economic downturn.
According to data from Cartersville Police Department, robbery, aggravated assault, domestic violence, larceny, arson and burglary increased from 2010 to 2011, with the largest jump seen in cases of domestic violence.
The city reported, however, fewer assault and battery incidents and fewer rapes and forgeries. The number of child abuse reports remained relatively unchanged.
Bartow County Sheriff's Office reported to the FBI one more homicide in 2011 than in 2010. Robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and larceny also increased. The county turned in fewer rapes, simple assaults and motor vehicle thefts in 2011.
The FBI's crime reporting program is one of two statistical measures of crime levels issued by the Justice Department. The FBI program captures crimes that are reported to police. Historically, less than half of all crimes, including violent crimes, are reported to police. The other measure, the Bureau of Justice Statistics' crime victimization survey, is designed to capture crime data whether it is reported to police or not. That survey is based on interviews of crime victims.
Academic experts say the new government data fall short of signaling a reversal of the long-term decline in crime.
The survey found that the increase in the number of violent crimes was the result of an upward swing in simple assaults, which rose 22 percent, from 4 million in 2010 to 5 million last year. The incidence of rape, sexual assault and robbery remained largely unchanged, as did serious violent crime involving weapons or injury.
The experts said the percentage increases last year were so large primarily because the 2011 crime totals were compared to historically low levels of crime in 2010. Violent crime has fallen by 65 percent since 1993, according to the victimization survey.
In Bartow County, law enforcement leaders said in April that the factors affecting crime over the past decade have included a weaker economy and a growing population.
From 2000 to 2010, the county grew more than 31 percent, from 76,019 to 100,157.
"Anytime you get a population increase, you also get an increase in crime. There are career criminals out here. They know … 'Hey, that's more houses. That's more people with stuff,'" Sheriff Clark Millsap said in April.
In 2011, the county reported an increase in the number of burglaries, but BCSO Public Information Officer Sgt. Jonathan Rogers said in mid-October the county was on track to see that number fall in 2012.
According to the FBI, the South accounted for 41.3 percent of violent crime in 2011, while the West had 22.9 percent of it. The Midwest claimed 19.5 percent of the cases and the Northeast 16.2 percent.
In 2011, authorities solved nearly 64 percent of murders, over 40 percent of forcible rapes, nearly 29 percent of robberies and nearly 57 percent of aggravated assaults.
The FBI said firearms were used in two-thirds of the nation's murders last year, and in two out of every five robberies and in one out of five aggravated assaults.
Fighting to keep crime on the decline is something every level of law enforcement faces.
"Police agencies all around the country are having to fight increasing crime with less or equal funding than in previous years. Unfortunately, many departments are also having to do it with fewer people," said CPD Public Information Officer Capt. Mark Camp. "We are fortunate in the city of Cartersville in that those in charge of city government are wise and prudent financial managers. … Because of this, and because of the sacrifices of officers, we have been able to operate without positions being cut or officers placed on furlough."
Camp said the city has begun using technology and a special operations unit to target crime.
"Our recent adoption of the crime mapping software enables us to get a daily, weekly and monthly picture of where criminal activity is being concentrated in the city," he said. "By having this information available to us, we are able to develop operational plans to target those problem areas, be it through extra patrol, surveillance, business checks, license checks, etc.
"Additionally, we now have a fully staffed special operations unit. Typically, special operations units usually focus on one or two specific crime targets such as traffic violations and drug activity. We, however, use our special operations unit for a variety of targets. … What this does is allows us to meet the needs of the crime mapping analysis without sacrificing service to other areas of the city."
Millsap said earlier this year that the BCSO had utilized available resources and encouraged community involvement, such as bringing back the citizen's academy currently under way.
He said the department had upped patrols, added surveillance to hard-hit areas and established officers on stakeouts.
"Our biggest asset right now has been out here aggressively patrolling, putting boots on the ground, putting wheels on the ground, turning wheels, being the places people don't think we're going to be because we're doing our best to outthink them," Millsap said.
Recently, BCSO created a two-man Sheriff's Crime Prevention Unit, with plans to add two more officers in the coming months. And, like CPD, the sheriff's office began increasing its use of technology by adding a Facebook page that has helped capture "most wanted" persons in Bartow County and joining Nixle to issue alerts on traffic, weather and other vital information.

I have wide feet and have been looking for comfortable but fashionable shoes. These are a lovely looking shoe and would be comfortable but for the bar across the toes. that's obviously due to my foot shape. I'm going to try the mocc kilty version which looks like it doesn't have a band crossing the toes

"The term 'gathering' is a take-off on the spring and fall roundups when cowboys gather together on ranches to sort, doctor or ship cattle," said Executive Director Seth Hopkins. "Throughout the Booth's Gathering weekend, visitors will have ample opportunity to delight in the talented musicians, artists and cooks coming from across the country and around the state."
This year's feature artist will be famed sculptor David McGary, who is best known for his work with bronze. This will be McGary's first major museum exhibition. "Native Expressions, Dave McGary's Bronze Realism" will open March 7 and run through June 30.
He has won many award for his Native American sculptures and has been called the "Master of Realism," according to expressionsartgalleries.com. After McGary casts his bronze sculptures, he paints them in a very detailed way.
New this year, the Booth will host a Featured Artist Golf Tournament at Woodland Hills Golf Club on Friday. Four-person teams are invited to play 18 holes and are guaranteed to play one hole with McGary. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams, longest drive, closest to the pin and winner of the putting contest. Tickets for the tournament are $100 per person and include 18 holes, range balls, cart, box lunch and soft drinks.
While there will be activities on all three days of the gathering, most action will take place on Saturday, including the finals of the Writing Through Art Literacy Contest, Children's Saturday Activities, an open music contest and the Western Concert at The Grand Theatre, with featured entertainers.
This year's gathering will also host the eighth annual Southeastern Chuck Wagon Cook-off on Saturday, with seven wagons participating. It is the oldest and largest competition of its type east of the Mississippi, according to Hopkins.
"[The cook-off] is going to take place on the festival grounds and the teams of cooks will prepare beans, meats, potatoes, breads and dessert just as they did on cattle drives, like in the 1800s," said Tom Shinall, director of marketing at the Booth. "People have the opportunity to purchase tickets. They're $15 and they can be purchased in advance by calling the museum or coming up to the museum, but those ticket-holders will be served promptly at noon.
"Then around two o'clock, we will actually announce winners of that Chuck Wagon Cook-Off, what team did the best. There's a list of rules and regulations and entry form for those Chuck Wagon Cook-Off teams that they go through and everything, but [the cook-off is] neat because [the wagons] get up on the festival grounds and set up. So you literally have one after the other of all these chuck wagons set up and people cooking and preparing. They are cooking over open flames, just like they did in the 1800s, so that's big, that's a lot of fun."
The open music contest is another crowd favorite that will take place on Saturday. Participants are asked to register in advance for the chance to compete in the following categories: fiddle, mandoline, guitar and banjo. Cash prizes will be awarded to the competition winners.
"We have two different fiddle-picking contests — we have a junior division and then we have the open division. All those music contests will take place on Saturday from [1 to 6 p.m.] in the Booth ballroom, here inside the museum. Each one has a little bit of a different time frame. For instance, mandoline will begin at one o'clock, and we'll have banjo competition at two o'clock and we'll have guitar at three and so forth. That's another great opportunity for people to get involved and have a good time," Shinall said.
The cowboy gathering will conclude on Saturday with a Western concert by nine-time Grammy-winning "Kings of Texas Swing," Asleep at the Wheel. This is the second year Asleep at the Wheel has come to Cartersville. The band has been around since 1970 and typically features eight to 11 musicians.
The band continuously changes, over 80 members have passed through their ranks, but frontman Ray Benson has held the band together for four decades, according to billboard.com. Their songs include "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read" and "Red Wing." Tickets are limited, but names will be placed on a waiting list.
"Asleep at the Wheel will be able to sign CDs and meet the fans in the encore room, just adjacent to The Grand Theatre downtown, following the show," Shinall said. "They put on a great show last time they were in Cartersville and it was a couple years ago, so they've come back and we're looking forward to having them as our featured entertainer."

I got a slow cooker for christmas! The first thing I made was this Urad dal with black eyed peas. Delicious!
i love my slow cooker and have also my dutch oven stovetop when i've wanted to adapt a slow cooker recipe to a faster finish. dutch ovens hold heat well and also double as a lovely vehicle to precook some veggies/other ingredients as desired.
i recommend Kathy Hester's 'Vegan Slow Cooker' for great slow cooker recipes!
Do you have any tips for combating dryness in meats cooked in a slow cooker? I've found that even with browning the meat head of time, a lot of slow cooker meat recipe results in dry meat (even if the recipe itself is soupy.)
I love to put some kind of beef roast in the slow cooker (whatever is on sale) and dump in a whole jar of pepperoncinis - juice and all. Cook on low all day long, shred, and you have delicious, flavorful pulled beef with a bit of a kick to use in tacos, sandwiches, in machaca, tostadas... the opportunities are endless and it takes all of 5 minutes!
@Courtney L, overcooking will dry meat out, not matter how much liquid is in the crockpot. And browning is not going to do much other than make the meat look prettier than it would if you just cooked it in the slow cooker. I know that my slow cooker runs hot, so I stop cooking it about 2 hours to the recommended cook time. It's just easier to save something that's undercooked.
sorry, that should " 2 hours before the recommended cook time".
On overcooking, yes, slow cookers run quite hot these days. I never cook on HIGH, only on LOW, and even that gets up to a simmer (which is why, on the whole, I prefer the oven, set to 200 or so, over my slow cooker these days). So cook on LOW, and stop cooking a little sooner than you might expect.
I have to disagree, though, on the browning! It does make meat look nicer, but much more importantly, it builds flavor in a way that you don't get otherwise in the slow cooker. Sometimes I even grill meat before putting it in the slow cooker overnight. Best of both worlds: Dark flavor, tender texture.
...it's not exactly an entire meal, but dried black beans cooked in the slow-cooker are SOOOOOO much better than stovetop or canned beans!
...and we often make pulled pork in the slow-cooker... you can make so many meals out of it if you use a dry rub instead of adding in bbq sauce in the beginning!
you can get dried out meat by using the wrong cut. dont use super lean cuts like tenderloins etc. and yes, use low..
Saw a show on PBS this weekend, Cooks Illustrated?, anyway, they were making a porkloin roast in the crock. First try was a soupy mess and no taste, Second try was a should roast roll tied and then browned. After that, saute onions, garlic 1Tab tomato paste, a can of tomatoes well drained and 1/2c white wine. Cook all that down and pour over roasts in pot. Then they used carrots and parsnips cut into chunks. After 9 hrs on low or 4.5 on High, it came out lokking mighty fine and not soupy but did have a gravy.
sorry should be shoulder roast
Red beans and rice! Most people I know make em in their crock pots. My mom always did spaghetti sauce in ours since it had to cook all day. My favorite easy one my husband thinks is magic though is just a huge piece of the cheapest cut of pork I can find, toss it in with half a bottle of barbeque sauce and let it go all day. No browning, no liquids, nothing. Come home and all the fat is rendered out and its super tender meat. I'll pour off most the liquid and then shred the meat, add more bbq sauce and we have enough fast pulled pork for days. Not as amazing as properly cooked pulled pork but it gets the job done.

One of Mexico's top tourist destinations is Cancun. This jewel sits at the tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Cancun is renowned for unspoiled powder-white beaches, soothing aquamarine seas, and remnants of mystic Indian civilizations. This is Mexico's most modern and luxurious Caribbean resort, with attractive beaches and excellent weather.
Cancun is situated in the young State of Quintana Roo. It is located on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, 1 hour by air from Miami, 2 hours from Mexico City.
To the North is the Caribbean Sea with wide open beaches and strong waves. To the west the shore is buffeted by Isla Mujeres (Isle of Women) causing calmer waters. To the south, between the island and the mainland is the Nichupte Lagoon which is perfect for all sorts of water sports.
Bay fishing offers red snapper and bonefish; deep-sea fishing, especially in spring and summer, yields sailfish, marlin, and tuna.
The nearest ancient cities of the Maya civilization, Chichen-Itza, Tulum, and Coba allow the visitors an insight into the mysterious of Mayan culture.
The "hotel zone," which is what most tourists think of as Cancun, is a fourteen mile long, thin island shaped like a "7". Cancun has 200-plus days of sun a year and the average temperature is 27° C or (80° F). Rain is rare.
Cancun offers a variety of activities and services to enjoy, including markets,
outdoor cafes and street vendors. Water sports include diving, snorkeling, water
skiing and deep-sea fishing, or for those who like to keep dry enjoy biking, golf
and tennis. Travel a few miles down the coast to Cozumel to see ancient Mayan ruins
and fabulous diving reefs.

Q:Will this lotion bar fit into the body body tin or the shampoo bar tin?Asked on 12/2/2013 by Mel44lissa from Chicago, IL

A:The Tiny Hands will fit in our square tin! If you let it wear down a bit, it will fit in our other tins as well!Answered on 12/5/2013 by Anonymous
A:Tiny hands only fits in the square tin not the round tin. Tins are wonderful for storage.
Sent from my iPadAnswered on 12/5/2013 by Anonymous
A:It fits in the body butter tin or he massage bar tin but a bit too big for
the shampoo tins.

Q:How should this be stored? Will it melt if I put it in a baggie in my purse for on-the-go use?Asked on 2/26/2012 by Kamanjah from Calaveras County, CA
5 answers
A:You probably should not put this product in your purse as it might melt or get squished. Place it on your night-stand for evening use.Answered on 6/21/2012 by Newlywed from Boise, ID
A:I have mine in a little tin that Lush sells. Unlike other Lush solid bars, it takes a lot to melt this one - I think it would be fine in a baggie in a purse, it just might crumble if it gets bumped around.Answered on 3/2/2012 by Hikermc from Portland, OR
A:If the temperature in your purse gets warmer than body temperature, this bar will melt. You may want to tuck it in a body butter tin inside a sealed bag if you'd like to store it in a purse or near fabric.Answered on 2/27/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:Try using a yellow LUSH bag, but not a plastic bag because it will retain hot air and melt it, but the LUSH bag is some sort of papery substance and doesn't close off so it will let air circulate. Unless of course the air temperature where you live is hot enough to melt it on its own, in which case I would recommend not carrying it in your purse at all.Answered on 4/4/2012 by Tarik from Baltimore, MD
A:I use one of the body butter tins to keep it in! I carry it around in my purse and it's fine. Just don't leave it in the car if it's hot out!Answered on 4/15/2012 by Moonbeam Sparkle from Atlanta, GA

Forgot to weigh him but he had 1 inch spurs and an 8 inch beard, slightly smaller than my first last year with gun. Shot him at 12 yds broadside and he went 10 yds and found him in a thorn bush buried wouldn't you know. Arrow was total pass thru and found it 25 yds past the hit. The Muzzy MX3 did it's job and a huge exit hole. Hope it does as good on the deer this yr.

Lauren Spierer was last seen leaving a sports bar at 4:30 a.m. on June 3, 2011, in Bloomington, Ind., where she had just finished her sophomore year at Indiana University.
The investigation into the disappearance of the petite fashion major from Greenburgh, N.Y., has taken many turns, yielding thousands of tips and several persons of interest.
Little remains known about what might have happened to Spierer.
Spierer's parents in December 2012 said they do not believe their daughter's disappearance was a "random abduction." They slammed the male friends of their daughter who, they said, were the last to see her before she vanished.
"We have these boys that were there that night that clammed up, shut down, lawyered up," Spierer's father, Robert Spierer, said on "Katie."
Though there have been no arrests in the case, Capt. Joe Qualters of the Bloomington Police Department said Jan. 29, 2013, it is still an active investigation, "which implies that we are still following up on leads, which we are doing."
The Bloomington Police Department is asking anyone with information about her whereabouts to call 812-339-4477.

This highly efficient speaker uses technology developed for arena and stadium systems, so it's able to fill your vehicle with warm midrange detail, regardless of volume. If your system's already strong in the highs and lows, just install a pair of these speakers in your ride and they'll really fill out the sound. Built tough Each PPS4-6 speaker handles up to 100 watts RMS, while its 4-ohm voice coil shrugs off the high temperatures created by heavy use. A fiber-reinforced paper cone and W-style treated cloth surround keeps the speaker sounding and working great for a long time to come. Note: This package contains one speaker and one grille. You'll need an external amplifier to drive this speaker properly an in-dash stereo won't have enough power.

Bought these for the rear deck in my 2014 Mustang. I didn't like any of the "it fits" options that I had....I wanted something that would pair well with the Alpine PDX-V9 (100W RMS/Channel) amp that I was getting. These sound great through all the power they are getting - even when I isolate the sound to just the rear deck. The fit pretty well - I was able to reuse 2 of the old speaker holes and then drilled only 1 new one. Pros: - Awesome sound even with a lot of power Cons: none so far. Was this review helpful?

Replaced the factory sub in my '02 Landcruiser with this RF model. Crutchfield tech support was extremely helpful in troubleshooting the hook-up. All said it was fairly simple to replace and sounds better than the factory sub although that's not saying much. Unfortunately not alot of options for the Landcruiser without major modifications. Thumbs up to Crutchfield. Pros: Ease of install Cons: Not alot of punch........ 1 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Exceeds expectations Written By Alec, Belleville, ks on Monday, October 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) High quality speakers that produce high quality sound at a very high volume. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and have subsequently bought the 8" speakers after having listened to the 6.5" for two weeks. These speakers are a midrange monster! It seems the louder you crank them the better they sound. You will need some serious low and high frequency to keep up with these speakers. I'm so happy with the sound they produce I am installing the 8" speakers and the tweeters as well. A great product that will not disappoint. Just be sure to give them lots of wattage. Pros: Great sound quality and very loud. Cons: So loud you will have to get a serious sub. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

[ Gregory Aug 08, 2014 ] yes as long as the car or truck does not have a bose your are good. [ Christopher Aug 06, 2014 ] You can use these speakers in factory openings, however the magnet is pretty big on back so may want to check the mounting depth available in the location you are installing if that is a factor. Also, keep in mind this is not full-range speaker. It requires a passive or active crossover which are built into many amps.

The way it heats and compresses the hair while making dressing glasses nearly impossible, is the middle part. The cables are tha shame part. The architecture is great; everyone knows the weak part of an headphone are the cables, even if the Focal cables break particularly quick, and so the fact they accessorize the headphone with a detachable wire would be a wow factor. Right? Wrong! Focal has no replacement cables! The first time I contacted them for the broken cable they asked me to send the whole headphone [sic] for a replacement (the cable weight few grams). Now that it happened again I preferred to purchase a Chinese cable for $6 that still feels out of tune with the headphone, but at least works, and perhaps shall last longer. Pros: Great sound and noise reduction. Fine materials, from the exterior. Cons: The cables break after few months of use often due to the detachment of some internal wire disabling stereo or making sound intermittent. Yet they are welded in the "beatiful" cable and so unopenable and Focal sells no replacement cable! The second cable has no microphone and so the only way out is purhasing a third party cable. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 4 out of 5 Great Headphones Written By DanS, Boulder, CO on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 I have owned these headphones for about 1 year and loved them. They have a great balance of sound quality, features, comfort and style. I auditioned quite a few headphones before buying these. There were a few expensive headphones I tried that sounded better with headphone amp (Grado) but didn't sound very good when connected directly to my phone or iPod. These sound great both driven by an iPhone/iPod and using an amp. They also have a nice inline remote and mic. Pros: Sound quality, comfort, convenience with built in remote and mic. Cons: The metal cover over on the headphone jack is decorative and glued over the top of a black plastic internal cover. It comes unglued from time to time when unplugging. Easy to reglue it, but it would be better if it screwed into place. Was this review helpful?

Why Cable TV in Sparta, VA
The team here at CableTV.com loves cable TV service in Sparta. And we think you will too. Cable service is reliable; cable doesn't drop out in bad weather. With hundreds of HD channels, movies and On Demand titles, there is always something entertaining to watch. Cable TV is easier to install; it requires less equipment than satellite. Several providers offer specials like free equipment and convenient bundles with high-speed Internet and digital cable for a smaller fee each month. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
TV Use in Sparta
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Sparta Cable Internet
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Sparta residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Virginia grew to 70% by 2010. Enter your zip code to find out more about cable Internet, bundles and providers in Sparta.

She has also had roles in the movies, "Cold Mountain" and "Spiderman 2."
Find Cable TV in Sparta
With all the information we've shared, you can tell that we know television like Rachel Green knows about being on a break . That's why we can match you with the right cable provider, which isn't as bigheaded as it sounds. Because of government licensing, cable companies don't typically overlap in the same area.
