Small talk at the party always goes:
"Are you something from Star Wars?"
"A monk?"
"So what are you?"
"A Berber from the Atlas Mountains."
"What's a Berber?"
It should be self-evident. A Berber wears a fine djellaba and soft leathers slippers. A prayer cap, if he is pious. He has a gentle presence. There is a mischievous glint in his eye. Of course, what this person, who is dressed up as an elaborate Lando Calrissian reference, really wants to know is: "Isn't this what you went as last year?"
The First Indian-American Miss America Has Racists Very, Very Confused
Racism Fail: "An Arab/Muslim Won Miss America"
Nina Davuluri is Indian-American. She was born in Syracuse to parents of Indian ancestry. She has has lived in Oklahoma, Michigan, and now New York City. She is not an Arab. The actual distance between Saudi Arabia and India is over 3,000 miles—about the distance from Georgia (the state) to Bolivia.
Also, the country from where Davuluri is from (the United States) is not a predominantly Muslim country. The part of India where Davuluri's parents hail from, Andhra Pradesh, is not predominantly Muslim, either. It's around 88.8 percent Hindu.
Racism Fail: Miss USA Is Not a Part of Al Qaeda Because She Is Indian-American
There are claims that Davuluri is an Al Qaeda plant. These people don't seem to honestly believe Davuluri is a member of Al Qaeda (but hey, who knows), but are making the claim because they want to call her patriotism into question by equating her with terrorists who they mistakenly believe are the same ethnicity as her. They don't seem to understand that Al Qaeda is not a race or ethnicity. Again, take note of the map above and remember that the majority of 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian citizens. They were not American. They were not New Yorkers. They were also not Indian.
Racism Fail: Bollywood-style Dances Are Not "Egyptian"
Davuluri performed what she called "Bollywood" dance, which is the name for India's extremely long, musical-and-dance heavy movies. These are modern-day dances which have evolved over time. That, on the right is a sari and it is very different from a burqa. And the headscarf Davuluri is wearing is worn very differently than a hijab.
Racism Fail: Miss America Should Have Been Miss Kansas Because She Likes 'American' Things
A meme is going around proclaiming that Theresa Vail a.k.a. Miss Kansas should have been the "true" Miss America because she likes hunting and has tattoos — signs that are she is representative of America. These are all actually metrics of being in a minority. Only 12.5 million people (the U.S. population is over 300 million) aged 16 and older hunt according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. When it comes to adults with tattoos, Pew Research found that only 36 percent of adults aged 18-25 have a tattoo, and that the number increases to about 40 percent in adults aged 26-40. In short, there are still more people without tattoos than those who have them.

My name is Gwendolyn Jones, the recently elected president of the Alabama Association for Gifted Children. It is a distinct honor for me to serve in this role. Since this organization was chartered in March of 1996, it has been a dominant force in advocating for the educational rights and affective needs of gifted and talented children.
Considering that our students are gifted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not just the day and time they receive gifted services, we need to build an awareness of their unique learning needs that are so often difficult to address in the general education classroom. As we build an awareness of their unique needs we need to let our voices be heard for full funding for gifted education. We understand that our voices have the power to influence our legislators to swing the pendulum in favor of those students that deserve experiences that meet their present and future academic needs. An appropriately served gifted child will, as an adult, benefit all of society.
The Alabama Association for Gifted Children will continue to build on the foundation previously established by the leaders of this organization. Their dedication and diligence toward promoting "best practices" for gifted children and youth will provide the template for this organization's future.

Rookies will make silly mistakes, especially during Week One of the regular season, and New York Jets rookie signal-caller Geno Smith almost made one of the top fails of the week by attempting to call a timeout just a few seconds before the two minute warning.
Smith looked at the ref and signaled for the timeout, but the referee did his best to ignore the first year quarterback and make sure he didn't embarrass himself.
Here is Geno trying to save those precious seconds, via SB Nation:
Even if Smith would have got the timeout called before the two minute warning, it wouldn't have been his worst mistake on the afternoon.
He has consistently struggled finding open receivers and going through his progressions and then he failed to remember that there was a two-minute warning in the pro game.
Geno Smith could be a star quarterback for the Jets later down the road, but first he will need to develop a lot more.

Nicki Minaj is lashing back at the maid who claimed she was forcibly removed from the rapper's house last week -- telling friends, the housekeeper in question is making up the entire story for money.
As we first reported, Nicki fired one of her maids a few weeks ago for asking for an autograph -- but last week, according to police, the maid came back ... and Nicki flipped, at which point her BF Safaree allegedly tried to push the maid out of the house. The maid's boss then filed a battery report.
But Nicki is adamant ... the maid is full of crap ... insisting no one ever got forceful in any way during the altercation.
Nicki is telling friends ... the maid is just out for hush money -- hoping the "Super Bass" singer will simply pay her off to make her go away.
Attempts to reach the maid in question were unsuccessful.
Anyone can be famous now days. Just make crappy so called music, have bad hair, and look like a tranny.
@Sincerity Shredder advice aside(and I'm sure Nicki shreds super important do***ents) it is still not acceptable for anyone to go thru someone's trash. You wanna dig thru it like a dog and bring your 'master' evidence of your bad behavior, expect to be treated like a dog and put out. Nicki's boyfriends behavior is completely out of line, but the maid totally deserves to be fired. If you go thru your bosses trash and show him some crap you pulled out of it, do you honestly think he's going to keep you as an employee? Privacy in paramount in ALL businesses and if you can't respect it, don't expect to remain employed.
The maid is a money grubbing iiar??? Add no talent to that description and it sounds more like ghetto skank herself!!
shame! nicki thought her m.. is goin to become rich/famouse mor than her by sellng her copy of autograph.hmmm.*pity*
Mad haters. LMFAO!! Everyone on this board just mad cuz they'll never have the money Nicki does. Has anyone else here sold platinum after platinum record? just checkin..cuz idts
To all the Nicki Haters.. This is a gossip website for crying out loud.. For one how do you know this is true.. And two.. none of you all know Nicki because you all dont like her.. Especially if you werent there you shouldnt listen to rumors...
Will always <3 Nicki Minaj
damn, Nicki haters be hatin hard Lol!
Is she out for a big fat fast payday? Heck if I know, she must not of been a very good maid....
Nicki Minaj is a sugar mama. Nicki Minaj talks all that mess like she is all that. But she has to pay a man to be and stay with her. She bought her boyfriend (who works for her) a Bentley. He is on her payroll. Nicki Minaj pays him his paycheck. Can he do anything on his own without his sugar mama? She can't even find a real man who can take care of himself. Or would a real man even want to be with her? Nicki Minaj can't pull a grown man who can make his own money and take care of himself. She has low self esteem and has to take care of little boys. Nicki Minaj is their Mama (Sugar Mama that is). That's ashame. Nicki Minaj talks all that mess like she is all that… And she can't even find a real man. She has to pay a man to be with her and buy him cars.
The thing is that you never really know who is lying! bootsfahrschule auf dem hallwilersee

';', to a maximum of
zinc premiums,
No. 3 diecasting alloy,
special-high-grade zinc,
Chris Prentice,
NEW YORK Delivered premiums for special-high-grade zinc and zinc alloys have fallen in recent weeks as lower terminal market prices and stagnant demand put downward pressure on spot material.
"The LME (London Metal Exchange) has come down, and sales continue to be sluggish," one domestic alloy producer told AMM. "Its still a rough U.S. economy. Zinc has a huge place in the home and housing industry, (and) new housing remains depressed."
Delivered premiums on special-high-grade material fell to 7 to 8 cents from 7 to 8.5 cents per pound previously.
Amid what market players described as "steady" and "quiet" demand, falling zinc prices and the ready availability of the material have pushed premiums lower. "Any increases (in orders) weve had as of late, weve been accommodated," one zinc buyer said.
"Theres more pressure on premiums" because the material is readily available, a second alloy maker agreed.
One zinc producer cited spot special-high-grade zinc premiums of 7 to 9 cents, with the bulk of business at 7 cents but reaching as high as 9 cents per pound depending on location and quantity.
Premiums on die-cast and foundry alloys fell almost across the board due to weak demand, alloy producers told AMM. The delivered premium on No. 3 alloy fell to 16 to 18 cents per pound from 17 to 19 cents previously. That brought alloy prices to $1.0609 to $1.0809 per pound Wednesday.
"Business is slow," the first alloy producer said.
"Its been consistently quiet," the second alloy producer agreed. "It really hasnt been bad by any stretch, but obviously, demand isnt robust." He said he has had to take prices down 1 to 2 cents below list prices in order to book business.
Demand "seems to have stalled a little bit," a third alloy producer said.
Meanwhile, the drop in exchange prices has drawn attention from buyers looking for availability in 2013, some market players said.
"With the lower prices, theres some interest for next year," one trader said. "Nobody wants to be wrong and sell low." So far, that business has been quoted, but not actually transacted.
The zinc producer said he had also received inquiries for material for 2013, adding that he was quoting at the higher end of his current spot range of 7 to 9 cents per pound for 2013 contract material.
"For premiums, where you are right now, why would you sell at todays floor?" the producer said.
Three-month zinc settled at $1,986 per tonne (90.1 cents per pound) in official trading on the LME Wednesday, down 9.5 percent from a $2,195.50 per tonne (99.6 cent per pound) on Jan. 27, the highest close thus far this year.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Beware of the PreK 3 teacher! If your child is not quite, does not talk unless spoken to, listens all the time, ext... you will have problems with her. She loves to give out YELLOW & RED stamps in your child's folder, (please ignore her back handed comments and remember your child is 3 & 4 and they are most likely acting accordingly for their age) She likes to call for meetings and tell you everything your child does wrong, NEVER has this teacher said ANYTHING POSITIVE about my child .She will make comments which will leave you thinking... did she really just say that to me? Confusing cause my child is very loving. This is not just me, so many parents go through this with her. The principal will not side with you so dont even bother. Just ignore her comments and do not get upset with your child for anything she says. I'm not the only parent that feels this way, go to the B DAY parties, you will see when the first parent says (Sooo what do you think of) This is a GENUINE experience, there is nothing wrong with my child, the teacher is really inappropriate with her comments. Do not let her discourage you with her ridiculous expectations of 3 & 4 year olds.
Can't believe another parent would say... My child needed help. This was my genuine experience with the PreK 3 teacher, as well as several other parents. I went to the birthday parties and would listen to the parents talk about their complaints & concerns. I also talked with a few moms from the year before my child, that approached me and shared their unpleasant experience with her. My child is very loving, sweet and just being a child. I could never understand where she was coming from. Even went to our pediatrician, he is the one who said (Her expectations were too high & she sounds like an old grouch) Coincidence how you respond the day after my review, sounds more like one of the heads of the school vs a real mother. like I said my child made it out of her class and is looking forward to PreK 4. Did I mention the school is not even accredited and really has nothing to offer. They will nickel and dime you all throughout the year with fundraisers, probably cause the tuition is so cheap.
Both of my children have had the Pre-k 3 teacher at this school. We LOVE her!!!!! I have both types of kids. One that was quiet and one that was not. She is what I would call "real" with parents. She does not sugar coat things. Maybe the previous parent couldn't take the fact that their child needed help. This school is a wonderful place for children.
Both of my children have attended NWHCS for a few years now, and we absolutely love it! I couldn't ask for a better loving and learning environment for my children, especially when Christ is made center of attention in everything. I am very happy with the superintendent and have never seen her as unapproachable by any means. In fact, she is a very sweet and understanding person. I have had nothing but positive experiences with all of the staff there and I have always been greeted with a smile! I have seen several improvements made to the school, which completely makes the school spirit nights and fundraisers seem worth it for my child. From my business experience, I understand how tuition fees are designed to keep a school operating and maintained. Without state funding, fundraisers are the only means for improvement, so I have no problem with them. Besides, the tuition is so low for the quality. Five different teachers have taught my kids and I have never had any issues with any of them. They were all certified with real teaching degrees, so I'm not sure about the previous comments on here. Please, judge for yourself and take a tour. I am so glad my husband and I did!
Bullying is shoved under the rug. We felt Religion was pushed with mandatory high adventure field trips linked to religion. They do nickel and dime you with fundraisers (many fast food events.) The administration refuses to meet in person when conflict arises, minimizing problems and encouraging families to leave the school if you don t agree with their policies. I wished someone had warned me about this place and I had checked other schools. We lost an investment of time and money that we sacrificially made for what we thought was a better education for our child. Unfortunately, we had to learn the hard way that the school had bullies, clicks, uncertified teachers, and an administration not interested in our concerns. We were amazed that the public school we switched our child to is more advanced academically and tailors to our child needs. If you want small environment for your child check the charter or magnet schools in the area. They are free and open to the public, and if you don t like them, you don t lose your tuition money, so you can afford going on vacation or improve the quality of your life!
My Nephew has attended this school since he was 3 yrs old. I also taught in the middle school for a semester. In addition, I VOLUNTEERED my time to coach the middle school basketball team for several years. I feel since the previous Director left, the current Director is more about the quantity than the quality. The classs I taught had 12 kids, my nephew's current class has 22. In addition, although the majority of the teachers have Degrees, they do not have their teacher certification. I am certified by the State of Texas to teach PE, Science, and Health. During my time as a public school teacher I was observed by my administrator 2 times per semester. I would be interested to know how often the middle school teachers at this school are observed. Two of the 3 teachers in the middle school are extremely disorganized and if you read the Bios on the NWHCS website you will notice they do not have a teaching background. They have a Degree, but they did not spend the hours observing classrooms that most education degrees require. I do agree the Abeka Curriculumn is a very good curriculumn and if taught currectly will give a child an advantage over a public school child.
The pricipal is not able to handle conflict between staff or parents. A great kindergarten teacher was abruptly let go against her will becuase the principal could not or would not resolve the conflict. Two more kindergaten teachers quit or were fired that same years. The parents were very upset and confused by this. There is no appropriate chain of command when conflicts occurs. Also, some teacher are not certified and the school is still not accredited!!!
The Pre-K program was great and cheaper than daycare. However the elementary curriculum is unorganized and inconsistent. Some classes are much more behind than others. They had 3 faculty members abruptly resign last month alone which caused classes to fall behind and tough transitions for young Kindergarten kids. When I followed the grievance policy for my questions/complaints, I was given the run around by the director & the pastor and was refused any further information. One told me the director and superintendent were the same person which I believe is a conflict of interest but couldn't get any clear answers. Tuition jumps annually however the education, resources, and organization is not improving and athletic programs are almost non-existent due to poor communication. If you get a good teacher that the director likes the class is great, if not, look forward to a bumpy year for all.
This is our second year with the school and we have two children enrolled, one in Kinder and one in first grade. We have been very happy with the education they are receiving. They have been transitioning away from worksheets and incorporating more "center-based" learning. This has really helped my child in kindergarten excel. They are growing rapidly leading to difficulty with long pick-up/drop-off lines and limited parking at school events. Overall, it is a great school that is growing rapidly. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Christian education.
I would not recommend this school to anyone. I had to remove my child from this school due to emotional problems. My child is getting professional help now. Spend a little extra money to send your children to a Catholic school. I am not the only parent that has removed my child from this school. Good luck.
Great school, great director, however a few of the teachers are not so friendly. The older "seasoned" teachers should retire. The school needs to keep up with the 21st century learner. They do give alot of worksheets!! Overall, it depends on which teacher your child gets. My daughter had a amazing kinder teacher!!! The teacher was creative, innovative and did so much for the kids and parents.
We are very happy at Northwest Hills. So far, my daughter has had a wonderful experience in the Pre K-4 program. The Pre-k 4 teachers and staff (lunch, art, music, P.E.) are wonderful! The director responds well to feedback, and shows great initiative. I highly recommend if you are looking for a safe, Christian based, friendly, education environment. PS. I gave 4 stars because it seems to be highly worksheet based. I wish there was a bit more of creativity placed on the curriculum. But still a good program.
Great school and great teachers! They have a new director this year and she's doing a great job. The school has really grown in the last few years. My boys started in PK3 and have been attending for the last 3 years. I have been very impressed. The school is more strict than public schools and the students have more homework, but I expected that and welcome it. Their athletic program is a great as well.
Very caring faculty, they go above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. ABeka is not for the weak student!
My daughter has attended this school since first grade and is now in eighth. My son from pre-k to now being in fifth. This was one of the best decisions for my children I ever made. They are far above their public school peers in academics. I know I am a public school fifth grade teacher. Most importantly they are respectful, kind, well round individuals. They are not growing up too fast as many do with such stong outside peer pressure. They go to school and they feel safe and I feel secure with their environment. The school has grown leaps and bounds these past couple of years due to happy kids and happy parents. It is almost 3 or 4 times larger than when we first started and getting bigger every year. You should visit for yourself and see.
As a grandparent, I am very concerned for the education of my grandchildren. I have been absolutely satisfied with the academic, physical, and Christian environment provided by NWHS. I wish that all of my grandchildren were there. Although small, it's big on everything a child needs!
Excellent. I too was so worried about my daughter entering pre-school. Her teacher was excellent. The staff is great. My daughter felt secure and supported in her learning environment. She learned sooo much. Yes, the standards are high here. But isn't that what we want for our children.
My child has attended this school for 2 years and i must say so far we have liked it We really are happy with the christian environmnet. Yes they may be stricter than public school I should know I work for one for the past 9 years. I like what they teach and enforce respect for others. He seems to enjoy attending
I just want to thank the teachers and staff for the great job they did preparing both my children to go on and excel at a college prep high school. All the grammar they learned has been a great help in high school. My children seem to do better in high school grammar than their friends who came from other San Antonio private schools. Thanks again for everything. NWH will always hold a special place in my family s heart.
An awesome school with high standards, which is what you expect from a private school. Director, staff and teachers are caring and loving. Glad my children are attending a great school and learning in a Christian environment.

Textron rallies after better than expected Q3 EPS, raising FY14 profit outlook
Shares of aircraft and defense company Textron (TXT) are advancing after the firm reported better than expected third quarter earnings per share and raised its profit outlook for fiscal 2014. WHAT'S NEW: Textron this morning reported Q3 EPS from continuing operations of 57c and revenue of $3.43B, compared to consensus of 52c and $3.63B, respectively. Aviation revenue for the quarter came in at $1.08B, Bell revenue was $1.18B, Systems revenue was $358M, Industrial revenue was $785M and Finance revenue was $25M for the quarter. Chief Executive Officer Scott Donnelly said commented that the increased revenues at Aviation, Industrial and Bell primarily reflected the success of its new product investment and acquisition strategies. Donnelly said the company achieved significant margin improvement in the quarter at Textron Aviation, which reflected higher volumes and better performance. Bell also had improved performance in Q3, Donnelly said, leading to an increase in quarterly margins compared to last year. WHAT'S NOTABLE: The company raised its FY14 EPS from continuing operations view to $2.05-$2.15 from $1.92-$2.12, in line with analysts' consensus estimates of $2.07. Textron also raised its FY14 outlook for cash flow from continuing operations of the manufacturing group before pension contributions to $700M-$800M, with expected pension contributions of around $83M. On the company's earnings conference call, management said it saw a pickup of orders in September and October in the new aircraft market. The company said it is also seeing significant contributions from its M&A investments. PRICE ACTION: In late morning trading, Textron rose $4.16, or about 12.4%, to $37.82 on heavy trading volume. Including today's advance, the stock has gained approximately 36% over the past twelve months. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other companies in the aircraft and defense business include Boeing (BA), up 2.6%, Spirit Aerosystems (SPR), up 3.8%, and Embraer SA (ERJ) up 3.9%.

"Supporting Readiness and Global Projection"
By Lance Cpl. Nathan Knapke
| Marine Corps Base Hawaii | May 10, 2013
MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII — Country singer and songwriter Toby Keith performs for service members and their families at Dewey Square, May 5. May 5th's performance was his 200th military concert.(Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Nathan Knapke)
(Photo by Lance Cpl. Nathan Knapke)
Country singer and songwriter Toby Keith brought his red Solo cup and guitar to Marine Corps Base Hawaii to play a concert for service members and their families at Dewey Square, May 5.
After Keith's father, who served in the Army, passed away 11 years ago, the fourtime American Music Award winner was inspired to travel the world and perform for the military. Sunday's performance on MCB Hawaii made it his 200th military concert.
"Once we started touring with United Service Organization, we hit the ground running and haven't stopped since," Keith said. "It's wonderful to spend our 200th show here on the mighty Marine Corps base."
Marines, sailors, friends and family brought country spirit to Dewey Square. Fans claimed their positions in front of the stage three hours before the show started. Their hopes to have a clear view were dashed when thousands of fans filled every inch of the open area. Keith started the show with "Made in America." The lyrics of the song refer to a Marine with the Marine Corps motto "Semper Fidelis" tattooed on his left arm.
This song set the tone for the rest of the show. Not only were people excited to see Keith, but he played a song that touched every Marine.
"Early on, I didn't realize that Marines don't care about songs that talk about soldiers," Keith said. "Since I spent so much time with Marines over the years, I produced 'Made in America' and it has gotten very popular with the military."
The sea of red cups started to wave in the air when Keith began to play his famous summer song, "Red Solo Cup." The crowd sang along to every song, word for word.
Keith also played songs that never made it onto an album. These songs were made during his time on the road or out with service members on forward operating bases. The songs were about Willie Nelson, recruiters and salty colonels.
"I had so much fun listening to Toby Keith," said Blayne Sisson, 7, whose father is a section chief for 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, and a native of Mount Carmel, Ill. "Toby is the man! It was the best country music I have ever heard."
After playing for nearly an hour, Keith handed off his guitar and walked off stage. The crowd knew the show wasn't over. To their surprise, a bugler from the U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific Band walked on stage to play evening colors.
After the American flag was brought down, the crowd started to chant "Toby, Toby, Toby."
Soon, he answered the call and reappeared on the huge USO stage to perform one last song.
"American Soldier" was the last song played for everyone. Realizing who his audience was, Keith changed the words to "American Warrior." Nearly every hand was raised in the air in celebration of a great show.

text: Greetings, Theodora: Check the site personally if possible. Make sure what is there is properly functioning. I had ovens at one site that heated significantly below the setting on the dial; having a stand-alone oven thermometer meant i could make sure i got the temperature i needed anyway. At another site, one of the ovens didn't work at all - good thing to know ahead of time. Sometimes things like refrigerators are not working as they should, or not working at all. So bring a fridge thermometer to check, too. At one site the fridge, which we were assured worked, was non-functional. Fortunately we had plenty of coolers and access to ice in a nearby supermarket. And check the sink! One site i worked in as a helper had drainage problems we didn't know about and water backed into a corner of the kitchen from a drain in the floor! Also, with all those recommendations for crock pots, roasters, microwaves, etc., don't assume there is more than one accessible outlet. Make sure there are enough electrical outlets, and that they can actually handle the load; know where your circuit breakers are! And bring powerstrips. I cooked a feast to feed 150 for a Kingdom event, to be served at a camp site with no facilities, which i knew ahead of time. Refrigeration was standard camping coolers. I planned to reheat three or four dishes i had cooked ahead of time and frozen, and for some simple dishes that would require no cooking or the addition of warm water only. When we arrived, there was a fire hazard warning in effect and we were allowed to cook only on a black topped parking lot, so we had to reorient our kitchen. We set up a propane 2 burner stove (the tall kind :) and pots of hot water for thawing stuff. Fortunately I had some very nice helpers. So planning ahead is essential when using limited kitchen facilities: -- Make as much you can ahead of time, so you will be doing as little prepping & cooking from scratch as possible. -- See if you can enlist some trusted cooks to make some of the dishes ahead of time, so it isn't all on your shoulders; for the feast above, i had one person make the desserts, and one other make Andalusian meat balls, all from recipes i put together. -- Make a time line for use of the burners and the oven so you don't have dishes vying for access in any one course. -- Make sure what you do make on-site doesn't take too long to cook; do what prepping is possible for those dishes ahead of time as well; if possible do some pre-cooking. Given your limited facilities, it might also be good to plan for a couple cold/room temp. dishes in each course. After pre-cooking at home, make sure to cool the food properly. For the above feast, i made a few "stew" type dishes (i made SCA period Middle Eastern food) each a day apart. Once cooked i divided it into freezer bags and put them in the freezer... then every 15 minutes i rotated the bags so all sides were exposed to circulating cold air (i have a side-by-side, so there was decent vertical space). If you just let things sit in the freezer, hoping they will freeze, there will be hot spots that don't cool properly, and you risk spoilage and/or food borne illness... I think someone mentioned tarts/pies. I second the recommendation, depending on your feast's theme, of course. They can be found in many time periods and cultures, are relatively easy to prepare at home, relatively easy to cool and store, and pretty easy to transport. When i make a lot of tarts, i transport them stacked in paper shopping bags - i put each tart in its own zip loc bag, then put a sheet of cardboard between each tart so they stay in shape; don't stack more than four, or it risks crushing the one on the bottom. Good luck! And ask more specific questions. I have always found this list marvelously helpful when i was a new feast cook. -- Urtatim [that's err-tah-TEEM] the persona formerly known as Anahita

The brightness of 94 puts it at a Premium/Number One level, and it is priced as a Number Two. Printers, Designers, and the end client will be happy with this new grade because of it's premium qualities, the excellent printability, and it's affordable price.

How is your skin today? Do you still have the laser lines?
- Reply
Yet, after 5 weeks and the laser being ablative, you should see some improvement in your scars. What kind of scars are they (hollow, hypertrophic, icepick, coloured) ? Hope you've seen an improvement by now.
- Reply
Yes it is normal to be red for a few months. It depends on how senstive and fair your skin is and how aggressive of a treatment the doc did. If you only had your cheeks done there will be a difference between the treated are and the untreated area for a while. I would have hoped your doctor would have explained this to you. It takes months to see collagen to produce and soften your scars. Be patient. Good luck.

David Dixon Porter
For my last project the director of the Historical Society gave me a book and said he needed information for the Civil War exhibit. He said to read through the book over the weekend so once I got back home I started to read the book and realized it was written about David Dixon Porter's father, not David Dixon Porter. I brought it to the attention of the director of the museum and he was shock and said I should look up the information on David Dixon Porter on Google and for the book on the Commodore David Porter could be worked on to expand the exhibit at the museum on the Commodore. So I went on Google scholar to do some research David Dixon Porter and here is what I discovered. David Dixon Porter was one of the most important naval figures during the Civil War. He came from a long line of naval officers. His father was Commodore David Porter of The War of 1812. David Dixon Porter would start as a midshipman and would later be the second created Admiral of the US Navy. If you're wondering who the first admiral was that person was Porter's adopted brother David Glasgow Farragut. David Dixon Porter was forty-five and was in the navy for thirty years with the rank of Lieutenant when hostilities increased between the North and the South. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, Porter did not believe that there would be not a war to provide a career opportunity. During the start up of the Civil War, Porter was involved in the Powhatan affair where David Dixon Porter had a disagreement with his superior officers on evacuating Ft. Pickens which was being attacked by confederate rebels. But nothing could restrain Porter from liberating Fort Pickens in Pensacola, Florida. In April of 1863, General Grant decided to attack Vicksburg which he discovered that the only thing that was preventing him from capturing the confederate town of Vicksburg. Porter would play a supporting role in the Battle of Vicksburg on the assault to perfection. Porter ran his boats into the batteries which in my opinion was militarily a gutsy move because he did not lose any boats and minimal loss of life. Porter's job in the battle plan was to bombard confederate fortification for forty day bombardment on the West Mississippi River side of the Vicksburg boarder where Generals Grant and Sherman would attack from the east. The Battle of Vicksburg was a success for the Union. It was because of Porter's actions at the Battle of Vicksburg he would forever be known in the history books military as the Hero of Vicksburg. It was because of Porter along with his adoptive brothers were created rear admiral of the Navy which was created by Congress. After the Civil War in September 1865 Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles appointed David Dixon Porter Superintendent of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. As Superintendent he set about modernizing the curriculum at the Naval Academy. Some of the reforms Admiral Porter put in place are still in practice in the Naval Academy today.
