I've been thinking a fair bit about this word contraction since Mills' discussion. Based on the comments it seems that Ireland is the only country in which it's used.
That and whatever country my six-year-old lives in. It makes perfect sense to me so I see no need to correct it. "Y'all" is part of the vernacular here, covering a gap in the English language as spoken in the rest of the country; no reason not to use another useful contraction here.

However Ralph Allen School, where we hold the event, may still have restricted car parking. For this reason we will still have to partly restrict our entry to 350 (same as 2014) and car parking will be limited. Therefore we are encouraging people to car share to assist us with our car parking reduction. In addition, street parking will be available but we will show people where to park in order to reduce our impact on our neighbours and the general public.
We will only have entries on the day if we do not get 350 advance entries. However in 2014 we were full at the New Year so it is advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

has led to serious overreporting of "official" high school graduation rates. Their analyses produce national graduation rates of about 70 percent overall and 50 percent for minorities, numbers that are lower than those reported on the basis of official government sources (e.g., Education Week, 2009; Greene and Winters, 2002; Warren, 2004). Some researchers also contend that this problem of overreporting the graduation rate has been getting worse over time (Heckman and LaFontaine, 2008, 2010). Others (e.g., Mishel and Roy, 2006) counter that these analyses are incorrect and that the graduation rate, while still unacceptably low, has been accurately reported in national government surveys and has not changed appreciably over the past 20 years. Similar discrepancies, depending on data sources and the analyses conducted, exist in dropout and graduation estimates at state and local levels. At a time when policy makers are vitally interested in tracking the incidence of dropping out of school, they are faced with choosing among substantially discrepant estimates that would lead them to different conclusions regarding both the size of the dropout problem and how it has changed in recent years.
Estimates of these rates are derived from a variety of sources using a variety of procedures. National estimates are derived from both cross-sectional and longitudinal sample surveys. The Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau is a nationally representative cross-sectional household survey that asks detailed questions about educational enrollment and experiences in October of each year. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically conduct longitudinal surveys that track representative samples of youth through the usual high school years and beyond.
School administrative records on enrollments, dropouts, and diplomas have typically been used by states and school districts for reporting these rates. These data are reported annually to NCES as part of the Common Core of Data (CCD) collection of information on public schools in the country and have also been used to generate national, state, and district estimates of dropout and completion rates. Many states and school districts now have longitudinal unit-record administrative data systems that allow them to track the progress of individual students over time. However, decisions about ways to handle specific groups of students (e.g., students who transfer or who leave school but obtain a high school equivalency credential, like the General Educational Development [GED]) can affect the statistics that are calculated, even when the same formulas are used to calculate the rates.
Each data source brings with it a unique set of issues that can substantially affect the quality and usefulness of dropout rate statistics. Rates derived from sample-based surveys (both cross-sectional and longitudinal) have

Somebody would like to comment on:
Fu Manchu's" Castle and " Fu Manchu's" Blood?
I always had a certain resistance with oriental films. I thought that would attend only martial fights... the whole time. Anything against, but the times there is an exaggeration of this in the films. Here no there is anything of this.
The two films that I possess don't have subtitles, for this I cannot say that everything was very clear for me, I cannot say a lot.
There is a certain mixture: the people are shown with Mexican clothes and the music is also Mexican, as well as some words spoken in Spanish. The film happened in Brazil.
But, out this I liked a lot of seeing Mr. Lee as an exemplary Chinese. But the character Fu Manchu is little active.But Fu Manchu is imposing and powerful.
Re: Who did Fu Manchu, see?
"Blood" is actually, in my opinion, a pretty good film. "Castle" is defintely the weakest of the previous Fu Manchu films although my copy of the film is from Blue Underground and it is an uncut version which is much better than the previous VHS edition which was pretty cut up and made it almost unbearable except for Mr. Lee's scenes. He potrayed the Asian crime lord as the way he should have been but throughout the series, Christopher Lee did not get as much time onscreen as he should have. I think the series, by Jess Franco, would have been much better if the director would have given Mr. Lee more screen time.

I mentioned at the beginning of Lent that I would be reading the book, "Bringing Lent Home with Mother Teresa" by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle.
The book is a devotional that carries you through each day of Lent. Each day consists of a quote from Mother Teresa, a reflection for parents, a family prayer (my kids are still too little, so I just do this by myself), a story from Mother Teresa's life, a suggestion for fasting and almsgiving (that are geared toward older kids, but are easily adaptable for adults), a final prayer, and a thought to carry you through the day.
It sounds like a lot, but it's really a quick read. I have been reading it alone, but my sister has been reading it with her kids ages 13, 11, and 6. We've all benefited greatly from this book.
While it is a quick read, it is far from "easy." If you know even a tiny bit about Mother Teresa, you know what a humble, generous, loving, devout person she was. This book challenges us to be like her.
I have found this book at once fascinating (I LOVE Mother Teresa) and terrifying. It has really turned my faith and my life upside down.
And though my kids are too young to read this book with me, I've been astounded by all the ways I've been able to take what I learned and teach it to them.
The first Tuesday of Lent, the quote from Mother Teresa was this:
"We must give until it hurts. For love to be true it has to hurt. It hurt Jesus to love us; it hurt God to love us because He had to give. He gave His Son. This is the meaning of true love, to give until it hurts."
The story from her life talked about how it bothered her that too often people only gave out of their extra or what they had leftover. They didn't feel any sense of sacrifice when they gave. She told the story of meeting a beggar who wanted to donate money to the poor. He gave her a small amount of change that didn't amount to anything, but it was all he had. Mother Teresa was torn because she didn't want to take the only money he had for food, but she decided to accept it anyway. The man was overjoyed at being able to give. Even though he didn't give very much at all, it was worth so much more because he gave out of love and sacrifice.
When I read that story, I immediately thought of the widow from the Gospel:
Jesus looked around and saw rich people dropping their gifts in the Temple treasury, and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins. He said, "I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all the others. For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, gave all she had to live on." -Luke 21: 1-4.
Obviously, this gave me a great deal to ponder. My family has most certainly been blessed. While we strive to be generous, we are often guilty of giving out of our surplus. This day's devotion challenged me to be generous out of love and sacrifice, not out of duty or guilt.
I didn't realize that very day I'd have the opportunity to teach Lucas a very difficult, but relevant lesson.
We are also doing "40 Days of Food" during Lent. We have a designated box and each day, Lucas and I place a non-perishable food item in it. I let Lucas pick (with some help) a food item out of our pantry to put in the box.
This particular day, I gave him three boxes of macaroni and cheese (each different flavors) to choose from. He looked at his choices and immediately burst into tears. He didn't want to give any of them away.
It took me awhile to realize the source of his tears. You see, we've been slowly eliminating processed foods from our diet and our pantry. I hadn't made a box of mac and cheese in weeks (maybe months). These boxes were Annie's Organic brand, which are still processed, but not quite as much as the regular kinds. I usually reserve this mac and cheese for special occasions or nights when I'm totally wiped out.
Lucas didn't want to give away any of these precious boxes of macaroni and cheese. He loved them too much. It hurt him deeply that I even suggest we give one of the boxes away.
As I hugged and consoled him, I knew this teachable moment was a gift from God. Once he calmed down, I explained to him that somewhere out there is a little boy who is very hungry. He isn't as lucky as we are to have a whole pantry filled with food. He doesn't have any food at all.
We could give him some green beans or a can of soup, but wouldn't it be so nice to give this little boy one of our boxes of macaroni and cheese? That way he could fill his belly up with something yummy that he would really love, too?
At first, this didn't satisfy Lucas. In fact, he clung to those boxes of mac and cheese even tighter.
I continued by telling him that God really loves it when we are kind to others by giving them food when they don't have any (which he already knew). I added that God loves it even more when we give something that we really like to someone who needs it more than we do. Sometimes it hurts to give and be kind to others, but that's how we show God we love Him.
Lucas pondered it for a moment more, but he finally placed one of the boxes of mac and cheese in our collection box. I wiped his tears and told him how proud I was of him.
I watched a tiny smile cross his face. He said, "I know someone else who is proud of me."
"Who?" I asked.
He ran off to play. When he wasn't looking, I wiped away my own tears. My 4 year old had simultaneously made my heart ache as I watched him learn a tough lesson and filled my heart with pride as he handled the situation with more grace than I often do. The macaroni and cheese was never mentioned again, but I think about it every time we place a new item in the box.
And I may have made him macaroni and cheese that same week.
Whether we've been blessed with a lot or we struggle to make ends meet, we are called to be generous to others. There is always someone less fortunate. There is always someone who needs something more than we do- be it money, food, or clothes. There is always someone who would be blessed so much more by something we have.
When you find yourself giving from your surplus or reluctant to give at all, think of the beggar that Mother Teresa encountered who was so joyful as he gave away all his food money. Think of the woman from the Gospel who gave everything she had. And think about my little 4 year old who gave his beloved macaroni and cheese.
Be more generous than you planned. Give away that item you aren't quite ready to part with. Give deeply. Give more. Give with all you have.
Life happens when we give until it hurts.

Last Thursday, The Sporting News released their 2013 "NFL Preseason All-Pro Team." Although no members of the Steelers garnered first-team "All-Pro" honors, both Maurkice Pouncey and David DeCastro were named to the "Also-watch lists" at the center and guard positions.
On one hand, I was not surprised to see that Pouncey at least made the "Also-watch list" at center. The 18th overall selection from the 2010 draft has made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons in the league, and has been the anchor of Pittsburgh's offensive line since he entered the league. As long as Pouncey is able to stay healthy this fall, then I see no reason why he should not contend for an All-Pro selection.
I was however surprised to see that David DeCastro made the "Also-Watch List" at the guard position. While there is no question that DeCastro is talented enough to earn such an honor, he did only play in three games last season due to an MCL injury. Watching the guard's progress this season will be downright fun though, and the former Stanford star did a solid job against the Giants last Saturday in Pittsburgh's preseason opener.
Final Thoughts
If Pittsburgh's offensive line can gel around the likes of Pouncey and DeCastro this fall, then I am downright stoked to see a marked improvement from a unit which has beleaguered the team during the last half decade. Of course, it will take more than solid performances by Pouncey and DeCastro for the offensive line to become a strength this fall. I just hope that Ramon Foster, Mike Adams, and Marucs Gilbert can emerge alongside both players and give the Steelers an even more formidable offensive line in 2013.

I just purchased this F-150 this October from a retired elderly neighbor who cannot drive anymore. It has a 4.9 L straight six, EFI mated to an automatic transmission, A/C, dual fuel tanks, nothing fancy. I found out that a previous owner removed the transmission and replaced it with a 4 speed manual and later reinstalled the automatic. Go figure. It came from the factory with a black exterior and red interior but at some point it was painted white. Original mileage – 64,000
My goal is to restore it, remove the dents, surface rust, repaint, repair the exhaust and steering, new wheels and interior. I'm thinking of an orange color paint w/ flat black bumpers, grill and trim. It may take a while but who can pass up an F-150 with one of the best engines that Ford ever made.

Celebrating the spirit of autumn, John Quincy Adams held its annual pumpkin patch on Oct. 29, to the delight of students and staff alike. Children in each class at every grade level were given the chance to venture out to the front lawn where they selected their own pumpkins to decorate and bring home. The event was sponsored by the school's Parent Faculty Club.
"JQA's students enjoyed a beautiful day of pumpkin picking thanks to our PFC, just one example of the wonderful events they provide our school," said Principal Christine Criscione. "We also thank all of the volunteers who came out early in the morning to unload hundreds of pumpkins."
Students at John Quincy Adams and May Moore learned about fire safety on recent visits from the Deer Park Fire Department, designed in conjunction with national Fire Prevention Month.
"It's okay to be afraid, because you're supposed to be afraid of fire," Assistant Chief Phil Scarfi told the children during the assemblies. "I will teach you ways to protect your family." Scarfi, who has been conducting Deer Park's fire safety workshops for decades, emphasized the "three Ps" – preventing a fire, planning in case of fire and practicing the plan – and discussed ways that the students could avoid fires happening in the home, and important topics such as candle safety and the proper use of smoke alarms.
Following Scarfi's indoor presentations, students at both schools were able to go outside and see one of the department's fire trucks in action, shooting water from the fire hose into the sky, and to meet local firefighters and take an up-close look at the engine.
"A big thanks to the Deer Park Fire Department," said JQA Principal Christine Criscione. "It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to visit with some true local heroes."
Students and staff at John Quincy Adams and May Moore participated in planting flags and other ceremonial events on Sept. 11, known as Patriot Day. The children, ranging from kindergarten through second grade, wore red, white and blue to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"We wanted to observe the anniversary of Sept. 11 with respect and reverence," said JQA Principal Christine Criscione. "In addition to a moment of silence and age-appropriate lessons in the classroom, our PFC donated American flags so that each student could plant a flag on the school grounds to show patriotism."
Across the Deer Park School District, students returned to classes on a warm Sept. 3, refreshed and ready to resume their educational careers at the high school, Robert Frost Middle School, John F. Kennedy Intermediate School, and John Quincy Adams and May Moore primary schools. For many, the day was a thrilling whirlwind of new buildings, new buses and new classmates.
"The students and staff arrived with their batteries recharged from a well-deserved summer vacation," said JFK Principal Susan Bonner. "We had a terrific first day of school and are confident JFK will have another banner year."
"It was great to see the excitement on the faces of all of the children," added Gary Ramonetti, May Moore's interim principal.

Pictures -- 23rd Annual Peninsula Glass Guild Juried Exhibition
When the fledgling artists of the Peninsula Glass Guild staged their first juried show 23 years ago, it was hard to feel encouraged about their future. It took a few years -- plus the seminal interest of pioneering studio glass artist Kent Ipsen of Virginia Commonwealth University -- before the group's mostly home-grown members began to explore their medium with a passion and ambition that dramatically elevated the quality of their work and the importance of their annual competition. Now this show -- which runs at the Charles H. Taylor Arts Center in Hampton through Jan. 23 -- is one of the most important glass exhibits in the state. Here are the prize winners. -- Mark St. John Erickson

Ahrens and Flaherty, who are Tony winners for their score to Ragtime, will return to Lincoln Center Theater for a month-long workshop of the yet-to-be-titled original musical this June. It will have lyrics by Ahrens and music by Flaherty. Cider House Rules playwright Peter Parnell is writing the book.
Inspired by true events, the work focuses on the relationship between a young ballerina and 19th century French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas. Stroman (Contact, Scottsboro Boys, Happiness) will direct and choreograph the work, which is set in the harsh and colorful backstage world of the Paris Opera Ballet. LCT presented a reading of the piece last year.

Polish word which means sausage. Period
I love eating sausage. - Uwielbiam jesc kielbasa.
by LLLLLLLLLL October 07, 2007
The Polish sausage. Considered not only by Poles, to be very tasty and nourishing. Genuine 'kielbasas' are made from meat, have little harmful additives and very often are cured and dried.
by Lukasz Pietras May 20, 2006
(keel bah sah) noun. A guy's penis that is larger than anyone would expected for his height, build, and/or race. Usually occurs with guys that are shorter or skinnier than the average guy.
After she turned down an offer for a date from the skinny guy, she found out he had a kielbasa, so she had a friend bring him to her party so they could hook-up.

ice cream sandwich cookies
In some cruel, cruel parallel universe where I were forced to choose between cookies and cakes, cake would never win, even if topped with the most perfect plop of pink butter cream frosting (because pink tastes better, oh yes, it does) and brightly-colored confetti sprinkles. I don't mean to diss on cake. I've had some good cakey creations in my time here, but even the most spectacular rum-doused pineapple upside down cake or flourless chocolate creation feels at times an uphill battle with the fact that cake, deep down inside, wishes to remain dry. Cookies, on the other hand, desire balance – crisp exteriors, supple interiors, and each and every one of their ingredients gets to make a full-on appearance in the final flavor. As an added bonus, they keep for a week.
Thank goodness I've never been forced to make such tyrannical decisions, but were I, I think I'd start with some of the creations in last night's Chez Smitten Cookie Fest 2006, in which I tried to bake as many oversized cookies as a could in one night, to be assembled tonight into ice cream sandwiches for friend's surprise party.
First into the mixer were these gigantic chocolate chip cookies. Like most people, I already have a favorite recipe. Mine is buttery and compact and has a high chip to dough ratio. But, they're not much in the way of spreaders, and this one better fit the bill.
Second in line were, I've got to say, one of the easiest, tastiest chocolate sugar cookies I've yet to come across. Ingredients are assembled, one-bowl style, in a food processor in no more than four minutes, and baked in another nine. They come for a recipe for Oreos which I highly recommend, but even alone they will leave you wanting for nothing but a glass of milk.

Michelle Obama is not a happy woman. At least this is what publication Showbiz Spy claims, saying that the First Lady of America is preparing to leave the US president Barack Obama.
Another American tabloid, Globe, says that Michelle Obama had already madebags and prepares to move to Chicago.
"Michelle wants to leave the White House and her husband," says one of the tabloid sources.
It seems that the problems of the twosome began several months ago, earlier this year when Michelle and Barack Obama argued about a sensitive subject. President would have wished another child, but Michelle did not want to hear about that. However this kind of topics should not be regarded as a serious threat to a relationship.
"There are very large issues in Obama marriage," said the same sources.
Nevertheless, many are skeptical about the veracity of this rumours because it is believed that Globe tabloid is less likely to have the resources and the inside scoop to the president's private life with his wife.

Boston Article in American Airlines Magazine - Thoughts?
- c
- cambridgejen Jun 18, 2007 11:00 PM
I have to say I was a little surprised by the random choices in this article. While I recognize the quality of the establishments that they list, I'd hardly say that this sums up the "Best of Boston" or gives a good representation of the city's dining options. (Granted, airline magazines aren't known for their top-notch investigative journalism.... but c'mon!) Any opinions?
Hm, surprisingly passable. Subtract Ming Tsai and his contribution (the awful awful Sapporo Ramen), and everything is good (tho Forest Cafe seems like kind of a lukewarm destination to include on this sort of list).
Yeah, not really a representative summary of course.
boo to forest cafe, but other than that everything else is pretty ho hum (at least the places I have been to on the list). Im pretty sure there are way better (or no other) options in boston
NWA World Traveler mag also featured Boston restos: Pops, Neptune Oyster & Rendezvous favorably: http://www.nwaworldtraveler.com/ME2/d...
I think it's now safe to say that the no name restaurant isn't a hidden gem anymore. At least they didn't write about the omni parker house and boston creme pie, that always seems to be the number one topic when it comes to boston food.
Folks, we've removed some off topic posts. if you'd like to offer your opinions on the restaurants reviewed, we welcome those posts here. However, if you'd like to discuss the article itself- author, methodology, dependability of airline journalists, etc., please start a new thread on the Food Media and News board. Thanks.
Interesting. Solid article. I'm surprised the article didn't name restaurants along the lines of Ye Olde Oyster House, Elephant Walk, and Changsho. Not that the latter two are awful, but they're more along the lines of what non-food people would be impressed by.
Of the restaurants I've been to, I mostly agree with the article. Floating Rock is a memorable treat. Neptune Oyster's raw bar is too.
The food at Forest Cafe is erratic, but I'm going to make a bold statement: There is no better luncheon value in all of Boston. The last two times I've eaten lunch there, I've been taken aback by the quality of the seafood and the complexity of the flavors I'm getting for $7 or so.
For the most part, I think the food at the Porter Exchange is overhyped and low quality. Instead, I would recommended the food court at the 88 Supermarket. Sapporo Ramen is the only place I haven't been--I'm not really into noodle soups.
Santarpio's is cool. I would have mentioned Pizzeria Regina instead, but OK.
Blue Ribbon BBQ is very good but random. Hmmm...I'm craving their tangy habanero sauce.
Neptune Oyster, Floating Rock, Lucky House, No-Name, Forest Café, Sapporo Ramen, Japonaise Bakery, Blue Ginger, Santarpio's Pizza, Blue Ribbon Bar-B-Q. An odd selection for an overview of the Boston dining scene, though I suppose you could do a lot worse coming from New York. It's not as completely brain-dead as some outsider perspectives I've seen.
The author is an editor for the online food section of New York magazine, and is a "specialist" in burgers (purportedly eats them 4-5x/week). He might have benefited from spending some more time on this board instead of taking pointers from Ming Tsai.

ok. that's your opinion and i'll respect that. but i'm also black, and both myself and my fellow black friends (along with a lot of my friends who aren't even black) feel that she is. I mean i've (obviously) always liked her, and then this happened, so i would never just use that as an excuse. maybe some people are, i don't know, but my friends and i are actually offended.
I was going to, but then after that Sinead O'Conner thing and the way she responded…I just decided after reading all that mess that it's best to just leave it as it is. Thank you for respecting my opinion, i'm not a religious person but God bless you too ♥
for sure i will! haha i do, it's bridlebends.tumblr.com :)
edit: your blog is so great, i really love it!! haha i just had to say that
That's pretty much exactly how i feel right now. I really respect her ability to do what she wants without focusing on other people judging her, that takes a brave person. That's so great that she saved your life! I'm glad you're still around and that you support her ♥♥
yes, i absolutely will! thank you, i'm kind of sad to see me go too :( it's for the best though. xx
thank you for understanding :) i'm happy people still support her, if there's one thing i will always love about miley it's how much she loves her fans and how much they love her back.
alright guys, i'm going to try to make this short and sweet and respectful.
i know i said i'd wait until this album cycle/promo is done or until i'm done this semester of school, but i've made the decision to leave this blog as it is and not come back to it. the way miley's acting these days…. i don't know. she's just a person and i don't even know her (obviously) so i don't want to be all melodramatic but literally everything she has been doing these past few months are a) gross b) offensive and c) attention-seeking. she is not the person i grew to love and admire and i have no idea if and when she'll ever be again. i kept trying to find reasons to like her but i can't even do that now, she pretty much crossed the line with me when i saw those terry richardson photos. idk what's going on with her but she needs to calm herself down. i'd say for you guys to again, respect my opinion but it is what it is and i'm leaving this blog anyway so i guess it doesn't matter. everyone has been really nice to me, i've never received a single hate message (until like 2 days ago lol!) and i felt very accepted and welcomed by fellow smilers on here :)
to make things fair (because i hate when blogs leave without a word or letting people say bye or whatever) the ask will be open for a couple of days and then i'll close it. this tumblr will stay up i won't delete it or anything, i'll put a proper theme back on it and leave it like that you so guys can go through old posts or answered questions, etc. :)
also: if you are STRICTLY a MILEY CYRUS FAN TUMBLR and want followers, leave me a message and i will follow you and add you to my blogroll. and i mean MILEY FAN TUMBLRS ONLY please.

Post with 3 notes
For the past 8 months (October to June) i have been going all natural with my hair and avoiding the heat styling tools. I hated how my natural hair looked but learned to love it without a straightener or blow dryer. It was hard at first since i was always so tempted to use them, however I decided that I did not want to lose more hair so i made myself hide all the heat tools just so i could avoid heat in my hair. I know, sounds weird but it really worked for me for these past 8 months so far and have noticed less hair loss in the shower! It will be hard since we all want perfectly straight and curled hair but you guys should definitely try your own heat less journey!

Shipmate of the Week ŌĆō MST2 Cliffton Hendry
Posted by LT Stephanie Young, Friday, April 13, 2012
It was noon on April 10, 1912, when RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its maiden voyage. Called "unsinkable" by its builders, Titanic struck an iceberg and sunk less than three hours later.
Although a century has passed, the loss of more than 1,500 lives are in the hearts and minds of the men and women at the International Ice Patrol, an organization set up in the wake of the shipŌĆÖs sinking. Petty Officer 2nd Class Cliffton Hendry is one of the ice patrolŌĆÖs members, and his ability to enact change continues to lead the way protecting those on the sea.
Working with the international community the ice patrol does everything in their power to prevent such a disaster from ever happening again. Because of their large-scale international mission, their work requires extensive partnerships.
One of the ice patrolŌĆÖs key partnerships is with the Canadian Ice Service. Looking to enhance their relationship, Hendry visited the ice serviceŌĆÖs operations center and observed how they stood the watch. He identified key areas where the two organizations could harmonize their efforts. As a result, Hendry reorganized the way the ice patrol handled incoming iceberg messages.
Reports from the maritime community are extremely important in ensuring the ice patrolŌĆÖs iceberg reports are accurate. In times where aerial reconnaissance is not possible due to severe weather, the best information comes from vessels already in the area.
Despite the importance of marinerŌĆÖs observations, Hendry noticed a significant decrease in the number of ice and weather reports coming into their operations center. After investigating, he found an old reporting line no longer being monitored. Hendry fixed the breakdown, thus allowing more reports to come from the maritime community. In fact, 40 percent of last yearŌĆÖs maritime community reports came through HendryŌĆÖs corrected reporting line.
ŌĆ£Petty Officer Hendry is an innovative service member who actively identifies processes that could use improvement and then pursues creative alternatives,ŌĆØ said Lt. Cmdr. Jacob Cass, HendryŌĆÖs supervisor. ŌĆ£He puts in whatever time is necessary to improve ice patrol's service to our customers.ŌĆØ
When not streamlining operations at the operations center, Hendry regularly deploys on ice patrol reconnaissance detachments to St. JohnŌĆÖs, Newfoundland. Last year, Hendry was part of a groundbreaking crew as he flew on a reconnaissance patrol aboard an HC-144A Ocean Sentry ŌĆō it was only the second deployment in support of ice patrol on this platform.
Throughout the deployment he assisted in evaluating and documenting the operational capabilities of the airplane, including radar and communications. He recognized a problem with the window observer's communications, which prompted the purchase of adapters for ice patrol headsets.
In addition, the airplane has a mission system utilizing the Coast GuardŌĆÖs common operational picture. This system helps the aircrew discriminate between icebergs and small vessels. Hendry assisted in developing procedures to utilize this new information and his keen observations provided valuable lessons learned for future deployments with the Ocean Sentry.
Hendry's work exemplifies the ice patrolŌĆÖs core values of partnerships, improvement and commitment. He sets the example for every member of the ice patrol to honor those who lost their lives aboard Titanic by remaining ever vigilant in safeguarding the global maritime community.

Thank you Ser and JJ for offering a welcome weekend distraction. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the chess game and thread comments (even though I didn't always understand what was going on... )
And can't.....that's a kick-ass dress. Re-claim it!
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
Darling you look GORGEOUS!!!!
That dress is to die for and the colour is perfect!!
Good sport, Ser!
Maybe wearing the battle-kilt next time while you play might give you an edge?
...something to think about...
SerJR...you look fabulous!
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
[I have no idea what that means, but it's just something that popped into my mind while looking at those photos!! My mind is going I need sleep....]
You guys are such great sports to provide SI with a fun (and profitable) weekend. And NG, of course! and others for hilariously helping to fill the lulls. Like gonna, I often didn't know what was going on in the game, but it was fun.
World Chess Championship begins this week!
Can be seen here:
Well thank you for doing this for S.I. You guys are great
But I think Rebreather said it best...
Everyone, I don't think it's too late to still pay up for the Great Canadian-American Chess Game.
I said it's pretty bad that he looks better in that dress than I do.
Ummm.. just no. You looked lovely in that dress. He looks like a man in your dress.

"As news began to break about the atrocities committed in Oslo and Utøya on 22 July, a number of media outlets began to suggest that Al-Qaeda (AQ) was behind the attacks. The actual perpetrator was Anders Behring Breivik, someone who describes himself as Norwegian and as Christian."

Wow, really well written piece. I admire his honest and frank perspective on this sensitive issue.
Far right can be Muslims and cannot be Muslims. If there is a possiblity of extremism growing in any parts of the UK, then it must not be ignored.
I want to add that nationalism and religion combined together will always result in the making of mind like Breivik. Wherever thse two sentiments come together we have seen blood wasted. I am from Pakistan and I see this craziness on daily basis. Global world needs to come out of these unseen gods and imaginary boundaries dividing the Earth. Minds like Brievik are the product of these two imaginations.
well done Chris, i am really glad to know that the honest people still exists. Extremism is the biggest threat every society is facing in this world. And sometimes we find it easy to blame others and ignore our own acts. No religion promotes extremism but unfortunately we are victim of it. Its a very sensitive issue which shouldnt be ignored at any cost.

Remember all that time we spent on the back deck
At your parents house.
So very comfortable in that serene kind a way.
On that beautiful day
Late one may
Ill never forget
that sense of togetherness I felt.
My heart melted.
I knew I always wanted to stay,
right here
with you.
A comfort
altogether new
Just as beautiful
at It's inside point of view.
They seen us and knew!
We where,
the best of friends.
Partners in a way that complements
with such grace.
Beatific, such as this spring breeze,
We cheer the coming of the warm months.
With a bottle of wine or two.
Those conversations I hold so dear.
all together classy.
I still benefit from the knowledge past to me.
It's been really hard
Being torn away from this
Knowing it was at the hand of my own demise.
I still love them,
With my convalescent mind.

Party of 13 at The Hollywood Bowl, dinner budget: under $500
- l
- lauralaguna Aug 16, 2008 04:50 PM
We're having a birthday celebration at the Bowl in September and would like to treat our group of 13 to dinner for under $500 (including wine) without buying "to-go" food at the Bowl or picnic boxes at Gelson's (we like ethnic grub). We don't have box seats, and it's my first time there - any suggestions? Is there anywhere to sit together before we take our seats that we're guaranteed to find spots at? How hard is it to "schelp" food from an outside restaurant on the Hollywood & Highand Shuttle? Thanks!
Here are a few things I've picked up over the years. First, room temperature foods are really best, considering the amount of time it takes to drive, park, take the shuttle, and walk up the hill. I'm sure that other hounds have great ethnic grub ideas, so I'll just speak on the logistics. Since you don't have a box, I would recommend arriving early, and grabbing table and chairs at one of the picnic areas. I have never been able to enjoy myself when eating at the bench seats, so this point is rather important to me and my group of friends. There is usually a line up at the turnstiles (next to the will call area) with like-minded folks, so I like to arrive two hours before the show in order to snag a seat on the "Plaza". Just take a sharp left just after going through the turnstiles, and you will easily find it. There are other picnic areas around the bowl, but I prefer this one since it is close to the restrooms and Staccatto, where you can purchase any last minute items that you may have forgotten. Once on the plaza, grab a table and chairs, and spread out your tablecloth, utensils and grub. I personally believe that part of the Bowl experience is having the niceties like linen, so I don't skimp on this. You and your friends, of course, may be different! After a nice, leisurely meal, I like to save dessert (easy to eat stuff while in your seats) for intermission. Cookies, brownies, nice fruit...but a birthday cake may be much. If you need a birthday cake, I would have that down at the plaza with the rest of dinner. And, if you split up the duties among your friends, you should be able to get away with a shopping bag of materials per-person. Have a great time!
M Chaya Cafe has To Go bento style meals that hold up nicely for trips to the bowl. Mako has bento boxes, probablly not in your budget... $68 per box (feeds 2).
You can eat at your seats even at the benches if you don't picnic first. I actually prefer it. Perhaps it's not as tidy as sitting at a table, but I think it's part of the fun. I agree with parmamon to save desert for intermission. Maybe don't do a cake - pick up your favourite individual desserts from the bakery instead (fruit tarts, napoleons, brownies, etc.) - unless you get Mako's boxes which include dessert.
A note about the wine. The leased shows don't allow glass, so if you bring wine, you'll have to eat at the picnic tables just outside the Bowl. They also don't allow you to transfer wine to a water bottle.
If it's a Phil show, wine is allowed.
We went recently for the Les Mis show and picked up custom boxes from BLD. Great and not too pricy. Add your own wine and you are good to go.
I would make pressed sammies on big loafs of bread - chicken, pesto, goat cheese pressed. Grilled veggies with a tomato relish and swiss...make the morning off. pressed the sammis in the fridge and cut and wrap individually before you go. I would also make a huge pasta salad with roasted veggies and a nice feta cheese - Ina Gartner has a great receipe. I would bring fruit salad. I would bring a bunch of meats and cheeses with great breads and dips. Cookies work best for dessert...make a bunch of differeent ones.
If you are hell bent on serving in your seats. Then I would tell you to go to Smart and Final and get the dispossable to go contains and fill them before you get to the Bowl. Then just pass the containers out to your friends. You can do 2 different containers...one for dinner items and 1 with dessert. Remember that it is a balancing act, and drinks, passing, coffee may be difficult for your guests. You could always go out for dinner and fjust bring dessert and coffee in.
Do I have a great idea for you! Last weekend, we had the most delicious picnic from a company called Large Marge Sustainables (310) 902-4104.
It was the most imaginative menu, really mouth-watering !
The food comes delivered in a picnic basket or bag with glasses, napkins, plates, utensils, votive candle, and small herb/flower arrangement.
Also impressed by their friendliness and sustainable approach.
We liked it so much we decided we're going to continue to order from them even after picnic season.
You can email them at firstname.lastname@example.com. They have a website too -largemargesustainables.com
Great idea- a birthday at the Bowl!
Parmamom, that's a lot of great advice...
Definitely get there early as the demand for picnic tables and/or prime picnic spots is very very high. Since you'll be in a group of 13, needing a minimum of two tables is probably reasonable, but getting them will require some effort. Use your numbers to your advantage. Send out four of your 13 as runners (really - they will need to run) to find and hold the tables (hopefully next to each other). You can send back one or two of the runners to meet up with the rest of the group and show them where the found tables are.
As yogachik points out, you also need to determine whether or not your show is leased. This could kick out conventional wine bottles as an option. But given the size of your group, maybe a box of wine might work - easy to transport (especially with 13 peeps), and very economical. Has anyone ever tried bringing one into the Bowl?
Don't forget to grab enough seating pads early for the actual show - they go fast. I think it's $1 per and well worth it if you're sitting on the benches...
As you mention that you like ethnic food, and guessing you're OC-based by the "laguna" in your name, if I were coming from OC, I'd definitely pick up a truckload of banh mi. They're usually $2-$3 per, incredibly delicious, and they keep well. Empanandas also keep well, but depending on the type, some may not be as appetizing when served cold. You could also supplement or have instead the usual cheese, charcuterie, fresh fruits and fresh or roasted veggies. Given the size of your group, you might consider Costco for cheeses as well as bread. They have a decent selection of "gourmet" cheeses in large sizes at very reasonable prices. La Brea Bakery bread is okay - not great - but again, it's reasonably priced - this will help you stay under the $500 threshold. If you decide to go the banh mi route, you can pick up freshly baked baguettes at most places that serve banh mi.
As others have mentioned, a birthday cake may or may not be practical, but given the number of folks in your group, maybe you can. But another option might be cupcakes? Bakeries specializing in cupcakes are all over the place...
You can also do a search on all of these particulars - just "picnic hollywood bowl" alone has 146 hits... keep it simple and have a great time!
re: bulavinaka
I recently had a stupendous lunch at La Espanola with a party of 13 which consisted of nothing but: 5 types of jamon/chorizo, few types of cheese, some bread, and... 16 bottles of wine.
After that 4 hour siesta, and holding onto 3 d'frent Hollywood Bowl tix for next month, may I suggest some high quality jamon, quince and jam (lord, please tell me why women love quince and manchego sooo much?) and loaves of baguettes/bread and call it a day? Beyond that, you just need to light people up with wine, be it boxed or otherwise.
We had "some" 86 pt tempranillos for $6 from La Espanola which just tasted perfect in the open air setting.

1. Agree with others, check to see if it's bowl or leased first. No alchy on leased shows.
2. I have always found eating at a picnic table to be so much less of an experience than eating at the seats. yes, it can be trickier, since there is no table and you have to pass and balance, but it just is more fun. Picnick tables and eating sitting outside the bowl is just wrong to me.
3. You can get great food, ethnic and not, bread, cheese, prepped salads, pates, hummuses, spreads, sauces, wines, cakes, deserts, cookies and more at Trader Joes, easily for under your price there will be enough to stuff your whole crew. Much better and more affordable than any of the admittedly good food from a restaurant!
4. With 13 people, carrying food from the HH shuttle is no problem. My husband and I do it all the time. Are you fit? it's a brisk walk, but a good way of working up an appetite! Lots of people do it, no problem!
5. Bring plastic bags (from a grocery store or something) for trash, plastic cultery, paper plates and plastic cups. So much easier!
6. Don't forget a cheese knife and a corkscrew!
7. bring a comfy blanket to sit on, or game seat pads for you bum bum. the seats are kinda hard.
8. Bring a long sleeve cover up, it can get chilly.
9. Bring a flask of coffee or hot cocoa, too. or a good bottle of port will do!
10. Have a great time!
How about picking up a great Chinese meal enroute to the Bowl?
I suggest
New Dragon Seafood Restaurant
934 N. Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 626-6050
It's about 7 miles from the Hollywood Bowl and very close to freeway exits. If you're coming from Orange County, it is a quick stop before continuing on toward the Bowl.
My Taiwanese friends found this place in July. It's a hole in the wall at the end of a short walkway of shops from the street, but there is signage on Hill Street. Cross street is College. Very reasonable prices for what my friends found to be excellent food. As an American, I thought it was better than most Chinese restaurants I have tried. I had brocolli beef, but tried some of the other dishes orderd. The food is fresh, authentic, not greasy, with an offering of tamer dishes like brocolli beef that I had. Very interesting menu, but there is none online. Maybe they can fax you one.
You can pre-order if you have a menu and call for the daily specials. Or, if ordering there, give yourself a good half hour to get everything.
If you have a liteweight cooler, I suggest you just pack it in that and carry with two people, one on each side. It should stay warm for a half hour or so. Chinese food isn't that bad at room temperature, right?
Looks like you're getting all kinds of other advice for your outing.
Hope you have a great celebration.
That's hugely ambitious of you, especially since you've never been before!
Some tips I've learned over my many years of Bowling:
Sounds like you'll be doing a lot of coordinating with people re where you're set up, so be sure to fully charge your cell phones before you go!
As others have said, the first thing to do is check whether it's a lease or regular season event, as that will hugely determine what you can bring/ how you bring it. If it's a lease event, Tupperware is your friend! Basically they'll let you in with anything as long as it's in Tupperware. Technically no outside alcohol is allowed in a lease event, but I just put it in Tupperware containers and have never had a problem. Put the alcohol toward the bottom of your carriers just in case.
I often pack picnics for large groups at the Bowl. I use my rolling, collapsible coolers. They hold a lot yet are easy to manage on the bus and walking, and fold and fit nicely under the bench seats. You can get them at Costco for about $20 or in Chinatown for about $10 (let me know if you want me to figure out the exact intersection.) For a group of 13 you'll need about three or four of them and you'll haveto assign other people to carry one.
Other than the food, pack a few tablecloths, napkins, utinsels, serving utinsels, cups, plates, a few candles, a lighter, a wine bottle opener (if it's a regular event where glass is allowed), some extra bottles of water and extra plastic bags for trash. Also pack a few picnic blankets to be able to throw on the ground, in case you can't find tables.
As others have said, go as early as possible -- as in, if the event starts at 7:30, try to get there by 5. There are tables all around the Bowl and some near the parking lots.
I strongly disagree about trying to picnic in the regular seats as opposed to tables, especially with such a large group. It would be a huge pain for everyone and you're not able to face each other and interact as you would at tables.
Although I am a huge fan of the Park and Ride and avoid parking in the stacked lots whenever possible, if I were packing picnics for 13 people I would probably drive. You'll have more control of when you can get there, so you'll be able to get there super early, and since you'll be getting there so early, you'll be able to park relatively close and wouldn't have to shlep too far with all the food and stuff. You'll have at least some people there in the car with you to help you bring all the stuff in, right?
As far as food goes I agree with whoever said room temperature food works best: salads, gourmet sandwiches, pasta salads, cheeses, fruit, desserts. Ethnic food suggestions: an assortment of rolls from the CA Roll Factory on Santa Monica Blvd. I like the Agape, Chenzo, Yammy Jammy (there's no or minimal raw fish so you're okay not eating them right away.) But note they close for a few hours every afternoon, so you'd have to arrange the pick up accordingly (I think 3 pm would be best.) Or you could do Chinese dim sum or dumplings from Yum Cha or Won Kok in Chinatown or a number of places in the SGV (e.g. dumplings and beef rolls from 101 Noodle Express.) You could get samosas from Samosa House in Culver City. With such a large group, you could do a combination of the above, although that's a lot of running around!
If I think of anything else I'll post again... have fun!

Chronic Alcoholism
Alcoholism is an addiction to alcohol. Addiction is a medical illness. It is not an one-time incident of heavy drinking that defines the disease of alcoholism.
The characteristics of addictive disease, such as alcoholism, include behaviors that the person finds pleasurable, at least initially. In alcohol addiction, drinking causes chemical changes in brain activity. This can lead to frequent cravings for alcohol. Unfortunately over time, an increased amount of alcohol is needed to produce the pleasure (tolerance). As a result, the person will start to feel uncomfortable symptoms when he or she is not drinking (withdrawal).
Over time, a bad cycle develops. When painful withdrawal symptoms start to appear, alcohol is needed to make the symptoms go away. During this process, the person addicted to alcohol may become so used to the effects of alcohol that the usual signs of intoxication such as slurred speech, a staggering walk, or sleepiness may no longer be shown. Many people addicted to alcohol are able to function and even complete tasks.
Drinking heavily and frequently.
Other factors like genetics.
Frequent trouble falling or staying asleep (insomnia).
Uncontrolled shaking or movement (tremors).
Forgetting events (brownouts) or passing out (blackouts).
Seizures or hallucinations (delirium tremens).
Problems at work or at home that are related to drinking.
Medical problems related to drinking such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, stomach ulcers, bleeding from the GI tract, and liver failure.
Trauma (falls, broken bones, automobile crashes).
Alcoholism usually gets worse over time and almost never gets better without treatment. Your caregiver can help recommend a course of treatment for you depending on how severe your symptoms are and the level of your alcohol abuse. In some patients, stopping alcohol use or even decreasing use can bring about withdrawal symptoms that are dangerous or even deadly. For this reason, hospitalization is sometimes required to medically stabilize a patient.
If hospitalization is not required, but the risk of withdrawal is high, a detoxification (detox) facility may be recommended as an initial treatment step. In a detox center, medications can be given to protect against seizures and other withdrawal symptoms.
Rehabilitation treatment may also be necessary. This is the process of treating the psychological and lifestyle element of addiction. There is both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation treatment. Inpatient programs help patients through a systematic plan of psychological questioning, both individually and in groups, and at times using a "twelve-step" format. Outpatient rehabilitation programs have a similar structure and are aimed at promoting continued sobriety and preventing relapse into addiction.
Make treatment decisions together with your caregiver.
If you are concerned about your alcohol use, talk to someone who can help. Trying to quit on your own is not easy. It can even be medically dangerous. This is especially true if you have been drinking heavily for a long time.
Call your caregiver, Alcoholics Anonymous, or other alcoholic treatment programs for help.
AL-ANON and ALA-TEEN are support groups for friends and family members of an alcohol or drug dependent person. These people also often need help too. For information about these organizations, check your phone directory or the internet. You can also call a local alcohol or chemical dependency treatment center.

If this isn't interesting/sad to you, then I don't know what you like in life.
Can't we hit 1,000,000 notes? This is such a rare shot, everyone should see it.

The timing is a bit messed up but i cant fix it without jacking up the tempo but…HERE HAVE ANOTHER TONY REMIX.
Oh I need more songs…gimme ideas. I obviously have too much TIME on my hands ahahaha…okay im done.
// Hey guys, I'm really sorry, but the blog might not be updated in a while, and might possibly die. I'm sorry, but I've just kinda lost interest in it & don't have enough time for it anymore. It's not really fun anymore, it feels like something I'm forced to do…:\ It feels really good having 153 followers finally, but I just never have enough time. If you guys wanna see anymore Outsiders art I suggest visiting my deviantART page; http://xpastasketcherx.deviantart.com.
Much love,

// Hey guys, so sorry for the late replies. I think everyone can agree to being busy right now anyway. Well, school starts in 3 days and I am NOT ready. It's my 8th grade year…I dunno how it's gonna turn out. But anyway, I've been working on movie stuff cause the band is making ANOTHER movie next summer, but it's a creepypasta one. I'm just gonna go ahead and break the ice; Outside the Inside of the Outsider got canceled. Yep. Wasn't my fault guys, I put everything together and everyone just quit and lost interest on me. Plus, my laptop snapped in half so I gotta get it fixed and uuuuugh.
But, for a bit of good news, when my computer is fixed I'll put together what we do have of the Outsiders parody (Outside the Inside of the Outsider) and let you guys see it (: However, even though the scripts are hilarious, I cannot post those. I don't want people stealing my ideas.
Well later guys!!(: I'll try to do better on responses.
// Sorry guys, I had this done a while back but I've been busy. It's actually been out for about a whole week, oopsies ^^;
