After talking about places, we move on to talking about both public and private places AND behaviors. We talk about what behaviors are appropriate in each area. This book and additional resources are found for free here and are available in PDF or Boardmaker files.
I love cut and paste activities because not only do they reinforce the skills taught, but also incorporate fine motor skills...and it takes a little while to complete :)public and private places and behaviors. Plus, check out all of these other great activities for this topic on Board Maker Online.
I think it's so important for students to realize that private behaviors aren't bad, but they just need to be done in private! Here's to hoping there is no more nose picking or inappropriate self stimulation in my PUBLIC classroom! :)
If you are looking for something more detailed to use with your students, I found this resource here. It is very informative and I didn't feel the need to go that in depth, but completely understand how some students might need those specifics.

The whole experience at ' Villa Marguerita ' will be relaxing from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Island hopping, swimming, boating, fishing, walks to the several nearby waterfalls, bush walks, Bar-B-Ques on uninhabited islands, are just to name a few of the possible activities. Drinking freshly cut coconut juice or San Miguel beer, eating fresh seafood, sleeping, reading, relaxing, and walks along the beach are some other popular pastimes. Our caretakers Marilyn and Arnold are available to assist you with your needs where possible if requested. Laundry, cooking and cleaning services are available from our caretakers. You are welcome to do your own cooking in our fully equipped commercial sized kitchen or enjoy Marilyns Filipino home style cooking. You probably won't spend much time in the Villa apart from sleeping, most of your time will probably be in the entertainment area, the beach, or enjoying outside activities such as Island Hopping, kayaking, exploring the local area and Waterfalls. Our Stand up Paddle boards are available for rental and are a must to try when exploring the Port Barton area.
How to get there: Flights from Manila to Puerto Princessa:
Palawan is a one hour domestic flight from Manila Airport. We find Cebu Pacific and Airphil Express to have the most competitive prices currently. Other airlines include Zestair and Philippine Airlines. Book in advance to receive the best prices. We usually pay around $60 usd each way, but this can be higher for late bookings.
From Puerto Princessa to Port Barton: We can have a driver meet you at the airport and transport you to our home or you can make your own way if you like. Public transport is available from Puerto Princesa, but the most convenient and comfortable trip is by air conditioned van. There are 7 and 12 seater vans available for the very pleasant 2 and a half to 3 hour trip up the Palawan coastline where you'll pass through dozens of small villages and see how Filipinos really live in the provinces. You'll pay around $106 usd for a 7 seater van, depending on the size of the van. Current prices are on our Booking Request Form that we'll send you when you decide to make a booking. You'll pass the famous Underground River on the way to and from Port Barton so you may like to take the side trip to visit this outstanding tourist attraction. You driver can organise this but he will need some notice. Try to organise early flights in to Puerto Princesa, and late flights going back to allow you plenty of time to take the Underground River side trip. It's well worth the trip and the entry fees are inexpensive.
The trip to Port Barton from Puerto Princessa is picturesque as it follows the east coast of Palawan and then weaves through the small villages that dot the countryside. You'll see a wide cross section of Filipino culture and life along this road. The Highway is good, little traffic and the trip goes quickly.
The last few kilometres of the road into Port Barton is being concreted now and by late 2016 the new road should be completed.
Port Barton Area: Activities to entertain guests are many and have previously been mentioned. They include, paddle boats and glass bottom kayaks, Motor Bike, and Table Tennis, Island Hopping, Camping overnight on Islands, Fishing, Boating Swimming, Waterfall Hikes (several falls nearby) day trips to Underground River or to El Nido, Karaoke at night (but don't pack your disco clothes cuz there's not a lot on at night other than Fiestas and Town Dance nights mainly Ballrom and Latin) or you can safely walk the Beach or streets at night or in the afternoons you may do some bar hopping to see whats going on in the village while you enjoy the often stunning sunsets. We find getting out into the water on a boat is one of the most rewarding activities here, and the waters and islands are truly beautiful. Swimming is great to cool you off on hot days or try the shower we've attached to the coconut tree on the beach. Swimming is also great at the waterfalls…….definitely go to the waterfalls. There are several in the area.
The Palawan Region: Palawan is well known to Filipinos as being the undeveloped, unspoiled Paradise of their Country. Port Barton is located a scenic boat trip south of the well known El Nido famous for its Resorts and Magnificent Cliff Faces which plunge into its Crystal Clear waters and North of Sabang and the Famous Underground River of the Philippines. Port Barton is well known as a Holiday Destination in Palawan and from here you have access to dozens of Islands of the West Coast of Palawan. Fishing, diving, sightseeing, butterfly and bird watching, nature walks and a variety of other local activities are available to visitors such as cock fighting. Foundation day celebrations from January 28 to 30 is a great time to visit the Port Barton Area
My husband and I settled in Port Barton as we felt that this area was paradise and had the same potential as Boracay, without the crowds and overdevelopment. We have 2 beachfront homes in Port Barton Palawan, both listed here on Homeaway. We decided to rent the homes to help cover the costs of maintenance and to share the charm and beauty of this area. The feeling we have every time we arrive here is exciting. The home is simple but it's the freedom and peace we feel here. Cruising through the islands, swimming on our own beach and enjoying this very special place. I'm sure you'll feel what we feel.
Michelle Ignacio purchased this villa in 1997
My husband first visited Boracay 25 years ago before we found Port Barton. We both felt that Port Barton had the same potential as Boracay so we bought a Beach front lot there. Over the next few years we built the home and entertainment area and caretakers cottage. We love the home feel part of the community here. We hope you will also feel part of the community.
Villa Marguerita and our other home Gilligans Port Barton are unique in Port Barton as they are the only beachfront homes available for rent in Port Barton. The grounds at Villa Marguerita are large ( 3000 sq. metres with 50 metres of absolute beach frontage overlooking clean white sands and Port Barton bay and islands ) with some pretty gardens, several beachfront bar/entertainment/cabana areas to relax in and watch the sometimes magnificent sunsets out to the south China Sea. Our home is available for private rental only which includes exclusive use of the property excluding the caretakers cottage, so you won't be sharing the home with anyone else. This is the only home to boast 24 hours lights, fans and refrigeration as we use around 18 solar panels to power the home. Port Barton town power only runs from 5pm to 11pm, so everywhere else closes at 11. Our beer is definitely the coldest in town without a doubt, something very important to many people. Ours is the only home that can accommodate large groups as we have a commercial sized kitchen and an experienced cook that knows the meals to prepare for foreigners. Ideally the 3 bedroom home sleeps 6 however we can cater for larger groups. 8 is the maximum that our caretakers are happy to accept now. Exceptions are sometimes made, but for larger groups we recommend that some guests stay at the neighbouring resort Summerhomes. Our large kitchen can feed hundreds as we sometimes do when we invite local children for our legendary Christmas parties.
Been there and wish I come back! The spot is amazing, the people are so warm and take care of you as you are part from the family!
Arnold, Marilyn, Apple and Asher, the best captain :), are part now from our souls + the master, Mal!!
The beach is perfect and if you want to stay away from crowded places, noise and all the crap which you get from a big city, then THIS IS THE PLACE!
See you soon my friends!

We wanted to share that my family and I had an awesome time at Villa Marguerita. Arnold, Marilyn, Apple, Asher, and Loi Loi were soooo accommodating -- they were like family! Our kids made new friends with Ikai and Aaron, and even Kiki Moy. Marilyn is the best cook ever!!! She can cook anything and put a smile on our faces after every meal we ate.
Again, we were so glad we chose Villa Marguerita to spend our final week in paradise in the Philippines!

Sa lahat ng kina-uukulan: 29 Dec.2012, ng kami at aking asawa at dalawang anak at ang kani-kaniland familia. Lahat-lahat ay labing-isa (11) kaming dumating sa Villa Margarita: Anim (6) na adults, at limang (5) bata, Idad 13-05, tatlong babae (3) at dalawang lalake(2) ang mga apo namin ay talagang nag-enjoy sa paglalaro kay Kimoy (unggoy) at pati na rin si Timoy (Dilaw na sawa). Magmula ng kami'y dumating hanggang sa kami'y umalis ay talagang kaming lahat ay nasiyahan mapamatanda at mapabata. Lahat ng mga nakalagay sa contract ay nagampanan lahat sa pamumuno ng makisig na si Arnold at ang kanyang asawa na si Marlene at ang kanilang masisipag na katulong tulad ni Apple, Loloy at pati na si Ikay at Aaron. Paradise Island, at trails to the "the falls" ay talagang higly recommended sa mga tourists. Pero ang pinakamahalaga ay ang masarap na pagluluto ni Aling Marlene "complements to the chef." Ang kanilang attitude na magalang, respeto, at laging naka-ngiti ay ang hindi nababayaran ng salapi kaya, Maraming salamat sa kaibuturan ng aming mga puso at dahil dito ay naka-experience kami ng tunay na magandang pagbabakasyon sa Pilipinas lalong-lalo na sa Port Barton at sa Villa Margarita resort.
Ang sa inyo'y gumagalang at nagpapasalamat. Manny and Carmen from Orange Park, Florida. USA.
This place is amazing. I felt like I went to the edge of the Earth. The location is beautiful, and the staff is so kind and wonderful. I would describe the accomodations as luxury camping. The house is open air, and there are bugs and mosquitoes. Netting is provided for the beds. There is running water. The electricty only runs from 6 pm - midnight in Port Barton, but there are some solar lights and fans in the house, and the kitchen and bar have solar power during the day. There is hot water during the day. We went with our two small children, and we had such great family quality time. Our boys really enjoyed playing with the other children there. Marilyn and Arnold are wonderful caretakers, and their kids are great too. Apple, Gino and Isir are also great. Apple took good care of my son when he cut his foot, and she went to get us fresh aloe when we got sunburn. Marilyn is a wonderful cook, and kept us well-fed. I really wanted to bring her home with me. She spoiled me. We used the sea kayaks almost everyday. The island hopping boat trip and bbq was fabulous! I definitely recommend Villa Marguerita for the adventurous at heart. We will always remember our trip.
Villa Marguerita is a 3-hour drive from Puerto Princesa, with the last 22 km unpaved.
Four of us travelled from Northern Ireland and stayed at Gilligans for a week. We had some concerns before leaving, particularly about the remoteness of the location and the fact that there was no aircon in the bedrooms. All our anxieties were assuaged when we set foot on the beach in front of Gilligans. The remoteness is an essential ingredient of its charm, and aircon wasn't an issue: we were lulled to sleep each night by the gentle sound of the waves and the soft breeze wafting through the window. I left my 'kindle' on the plane in Manila and thought I'd be lost without any reading material. Not an issue - I didn't even miss it. The week flew by with our days occupied with kayaking, exploring the nearby beaches and islands, fishing and beachcombing and enjoying Estralia's cooking. Alvin took us to 'Blue Cove Resort' on a neighbouring island one day for lunch. While we enjoyed the trip, we couldn't get back to Gilligans quickly enough to enjoy the sheer solitude. We sat many evenings gazing at the stars trying to find words that might best describe Gilligans.'Fantastic', 'amazing' 'incredible' didn't even come close to doing it justice. There can't be many places in the world like Gilligans, but I'm glad we found this one.
We were met at the airport by the friendly staff of Villa Marguerita which was only the beginning of a fantastic week. The faciity met all of our expectations and was as described in the listing. There was lots to do whether just laying on the beach reading a book to taking the fantastic island hopping tour. I would high recomend this to families or large groups. There were 4 of us in our family and we had plenty of room. One great thing about the facility was the entertainment area.where we spent a great deal of time during our stay.
Just want to thank Arnold, Marilyn and the rest of the staff for a fantastic vacation. We plan on returning in a few years.
Our home is situated beachfront in Port Barton Palawan which is a little south of San Vicente the local government centre. Port Barton is located between the world renowned Underground River and popular destination El Nido. Port Barton is a 3 hour drive from Puerto Princessa, the capital city of Palawan, known as the last frontier of the Philippines.
Our home is situated in a marine park area. Boating, island hopping and trips to the several waterfalls nearby are some popular activities. Trips to the Underground River and El Nido can be organised by our staff.
Other Activities: Paddle Boating and Kayaking. Island Hopping, snorkelling, diving. We have 2 Stand Up Paddle boards available for rent by our guests.

Is There "White Flight" into Private Schools? Evidence From the National Educational Longitudinal Survey
Using a recently released confidential dataset from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), we find some evidence of "white flight" from public schools into privateschools partly in response to minority schoolchildren. We also examine whether "white flight" is from all minorities or only from certain minority groups, delineated by race or income. We find that white families are fleeing public schools with large concentrations of poor minority schoolchildren. In addition, the clearest flight appears to occur from poor black schoolchildren. The results for "white flight" from Asians and Hispanics are less clear.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Freshwater Aquarium Equipment (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-aquarium-equipment/)

Substrate recommendations
I just bought a 29 gallon tank from Petco for $29 (woo-hoo!) and I want to try a planted tank with sand and river rocks as a substrate. Will this work? If so, what type of sand should I use? Is it okay to use brand new white sand that is sold for marine aquariums? Also, I have a heavy-duty gravel vac. Will it suck up the sand? If it does, how does one go about cleaning the substrate (it will be home to two goldfish)?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm wanting to venture beyond the typical newbie's neon gravel, faux plants, and plastic rocks. :)
Re: Substrate recommendations
Buy a small quantity;
Place in a quart size bowl and
Try it.
(With respect to the black aggregates the artificial ones ones are nice but "real" obsidian [which has been polished and sub-rounded] is "something else"!)
The stone in the above photograph has not been polished or sub-rounded.
What plants are you planning to keep? Goldfish can easily scoff them up with a few exceptions such as hornworts, anubias and Javan ferns.
I've used playground sand from HomeDepot before without issues. I placed a layer of Vermiculite (soaked and placed about an inch thick) covered by the sand. The plants seemed to enjoy it and it's cheap.
Loved the advice and recommendations. Thanks, all! I have several anubias sprouts hiding in the shade of some ludwigia, two amazon swords, and a few mystery plants in my goldfish tank. So far they have resisted the temptation to devour them, but I will keep a close eye to make sure the plants don't become a yummy snack.
It's going to be a while before the tank is up and running - I could only afford the tank this month; next month I will get the stand and filter, and then closer to Christmas I can get the decor. But I am having a lot of fun planning and scheming!
As for the cleaning, i find that my fish poo sits on top of the sand in my 35g, but my vaccum sucks up both sand and poo. The solutions i have found is to remove the wide end to the vaccum which causes the suction power to increase. This means i can suck the poo up from higher up, but leave the sand unnmolested. Seems to work well enough.

text: I recently just set these two filters up on a 75 gallon (the tank is still cycling and has no inhabitants besides a few plants), and was wondering how often I need to clean them. The Emperor 400 instructions say to clean the impeller, spray bar, and intake tube every month, and to replace the filter cartridge every 2-4 weeks. I was wondering how often I need to replace the carbon in the filter and if I should alternate replacing the two inserts or replace both at once? The AquaClear instructions say every 3 months to clean the motor. It also says to clean out the case and intake tube but doesn't tell me how often to do it. I would like to know how often to clean out the case and how often I need to replace the filter media. THANKS!

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"How Music Works" is David Byrne's remarkable and buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. In it he explores how profoundly music is shaped by its time and place, and he explains how the advent of recording technology in the twentieth century forever changed our relationship to playing, performing, and listening to music.

text: Vice President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan will meet in Danville, Ky., tonight for a much-hyped debate that could set the tenor for the closing weeks of the presidential race. With President Barack Obama trailing in some national polls, Biden will be under pressure to land solid punches on Ryan, who in turn will need to defend his own budget and Medicare plan without distracting from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's own proposals. That will require both men to blend aggression with humility, analysts say, attacking their opponents without stealing their running mates' thunder.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –- Tom Coughlin said he saw some positive signs from Eli Manning during the Giants' 31-13 loss to the Bengals.
"I thought he threw the ball better, and many times yesterday he zinged it in there," Coughlin said Monday. "Had the ball down the seam to Victor (Cruz) that should have been a touchdown."
Manning is coming off his worst three-game stretch since the second, third and fourth starts of his rookie season. He has gone three games without a passing touchdown and threw two costly interceptions that led to two Bengals touchdowns in the third quarter.
Manning threw for 215 yards against the Bengals, the first time he has cracked 200 yards in three games.
Coughlin, Manning, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan all dismissed the notion Manning has a tired arm.
"No one is watching me practice," Manning said of anyone who thinks he has a tired arm. "I thought I had good velocity and threw the ball well yesterday."
The Giants have a bye this week, so Coughlin is giving his team off the rest of the week after they got together Monday. Manning is looking forward to getting away from football and coming back refreshed.
He said he will not watch film and will not throw a football again until next Monday.
"I think it will be good just to get the guys, after 10 weeks, a little rest," Manning said. "We've had a hectic schedule these last few weeks with a lot going on in this area (due to Hurricane Sandy).
"So I think it will be good just to get the guys to be able to relax a little bit, be around their families and get their minds off of football and then come back next week refreshed, ready to go, ready to finish this season strong."
The Giants return to a daunting schedule that includes the Packers, Redskins, Saints, Falcons, Ravens and Eagles.
They will not only need Manning to get back to his two-time Super Bowl MVP level, but the Giants need many of their players to start playing better and winning one-on-one battles if they want to snap their two-game slide.
"He's not alone," Coughlin said of Manning struggling. "We have a lot of people that aren't playing as well as they're capable of playing. That's got to change, obviously."
Coughlin admits that he did not like what he saw from Manning's two interceptions deep in the Giants' territory with a Bengals defender clutching onto him.
But he said his quarterback was simply trying to make something happen.
"That was terrible," Coughlin said. "He'd be the first one to tell you that. That was so foolish to try to make a play there. The one guy has got his shirt. ... Just go down and take care of the ball and let us have another snap. Just take care of the football.
"I know he's always trying to make a play and he has done things under those circumstances in the past that have worked out," Coughlin added. "But the percentages are just not with you when that happens."
Still, Coughlin is confident his quarterback will bust out of this funk once the break is over.
"Again, I think yesterday there were signs that he's improving," Coughlin said. "He's getting back on track. There were some signs there that were good yesterday and we've just got to build on it."

Own poised to duck Sandown
Published 21/04/2015 | 16:56
Top-weight On His Own is likely to swerve the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown on Saturday in favour of a run at the Punchestown Festival.
Trainer Willie Mullins is leaning towards staying at home with last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up, with a tilt at the Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup a more likely alternative.
He told At The Races: " I would prefer to go to Punchestown with On His Own."

He may be a living legend in the inky trade, but there's something offputting about Kapuscinski, the renowned Polish foreign correspondent. It is perhaps understandable that this plod round the USSR, during its disintegration between 1989 and 1993, should be unremittingly depressing. Less excusable is Kapuscinski's mannered, rhetorical style. Void of humour and human quirks, everyone he encounters becomes a symbol, usually trudging through a snowbound landscape.
Maypoles, Martyrs and Mayhem by Quentin Cooper & Paul Sullivan (Bloomsbury pounds 6.99)
This jolly canter through the year offers a twerpy rustic or two and often a grisly doing-to-death to mark each day. It's great fodder for pub bores. If a beery-breathed party informs you that Old Uncle Tom Cobbley really existed (died 6 March 1794), Prince Rupert's ghost and spectral dog still roam Edgehill (battle on 23 October 1642), or one Mary Carpenter died on 29 July 1938 of spontaneous combustion, you'll know where he got the gen.
A Japanese Mirror by Ian Buruma (Vintage pounds 7.99)
This engrossing exploration of Japan and its popular culture gives insights into a society which, despite obvious differences, is far from being utterly alien. Beneath the high-tech sheen, paganism still exerts a strong pull. Don't get the idea that this is a dry academic study. The first half is mainly devoted to women and sex, in particular its weird fictional depiction. The second half is about men and violence, especially yakuza gangsters. Transvestism provides a placid entr'acte.
Going Native by Stephen Wright (Abacus pounds 8.99)
Out in LA's scuzzy suburbs, Wright's wild inventions drift in and out of short-story-like chapters, much in the style of Altman's Short Cuts. They toke on crack, engage in S&M, dabble in the porn biz, but mainly they sample new identities. Among the protean beasts coupling in this transitory milieu, there is one who loves only his Ford Galaxie and gleaming arsenal of hand-guns. Death blooms among the pleasure-seekers. Wright's burnished prose prompts chill shivers in the reader.
In Search of the Edge of Time by John Gribbin (Penguin pounds 6.99)
Yet another sexy title on astrophysics. This one is about black holes, where matter is so condensed (imagine the Earth reduced to a sphere under 10cm in radius) that gravity holds light in. Though the idea dates from 1783, the term was coined in 1967 and has since passed into common parlance. Unfortunately, the underlying theories do not shift so easily into the public arena. Despite Gribbin's fluid style, the material is so intractable that it is inevitably limited in appeal.
A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham (Penguin pounds 6.99)
Pellucid and carefully observed, this is an absorbing, bitter-sweet novel of US middle-class life over the past 20 years. We accompany gay Jonathan and straight Bobby drifting into adulthood in Ohio and later in New York, where they form a viable, if unconventional, family unit with Clare, offbeat but determined. Cunningham gives a coolly sympathetic depiction of a relationship evolving over time. A wonderful, credible account of modern conundrums.
In My Own Time by Nina Bawden (Virago pounds 7.99)
For anyone who can remember tea-times in front of Carrie's War, Nina Bawden's reminiscences of her own childhood will hold much charm. It's only when she gets to her adult years that this usually generous writer lets caution get the better of her. A veil is drawn over her first marriage, and any mention of her work is tantalizingly incidental. "Almost an autobiography" is how she describes the book ... she's more honest than most.
Grace by Robert Lacey (Pan pounds 5.99)
Grace Kelly seems to have got Robert Lacey, like Alfred Hitchcock, rather hot under the collar. The controlled blonde with the passions of a wildcat is just the kind of subject guaranteed to whip the average biographer into a frenzy of skittish speculation, and, in Lacey's case, a little pontification too. Not the kindest or most original portrait of this thwarted woman, but an absorbing peek into the "right side of Park Avenue".
Come to Me by Amy Bloom (Picador pounds 5.99)
Amy Bloom's houses may smell of blueberry pancakes and strawberry pop- tarts, but the domestic arrangements of their owners are far from conventional. Mothers sleep with stepsons, and beer buddies with each other. "Love is not a pie" a dying mother reminds her angst-ridden daughter, and in Bloom's world affection isn't something to be saved for another day. A first collection which will find admirers this side of the Atlantic.
Love Cries ed. Peter Blazey, Victoria Dawson & Tim Herbert (Angus & Robertson)
From a continent not usually associated with the erotic arts, this anthology of Australian S & M fiction does little to improve the country's reputation in the mattress department. "Roll over, Sheila" may have been replaced by the more sophisticated dialogue of the city, but this doesn't disguise the fact that the techniques favoured in these stories are, in most other countries, generally saved for sheep.
I Knew A Phoenix: Sketches for an Autobiography by May Sarton (Women's Press pounds 7.99)
One of the most excruciating memories of the poet's youth was an expedition she organised for Virginia and Leonard Woolf to Whipsnade Zoo. That she even managed to meet the Woolfs, let alone persuade them 30 miles out of London, says something about the young American's spunk. In later years, Sarton's moods were often troubled, and, only two weeks after her death, it's poignant to read about more care-free times.
People Who Count by Dorothy Stein (Earthscan pounds 13.99)
According to Dorothy Stein, the world makes far too many assumptions when discussing the important issue of population control. Why is it that Western societies insist - despite all evidence to the contrary - that only children must be unhappy children, that childless women must be selfish, and that people without offspring face a lonely old age? Perhaps those who count should look more carefully at the counted.Reuse content

Pauley Perrette isn't just "NCIS'" multi-talented Abby Sciuto, she's also a singer/songwriter and, it turns out, a big supporter of charities, including the Hope Gardens Family Center, where on Tuesday (Sept. 13), she helped unveil a new fishtank — created by the guys at Animal Planet's "Tanked" — for the site.
Zap2it was on hand and caught up with Perrette about NCIS and her philanthropy.
How did you get involved with Hope Gardens?
There was a time a couple years ago that, due to funding and a lack of donations, Hope Gardens was going to close. Which would have meant the women and kids would be taken right out of this environment and put back on Skid Row. We started a huge Twitter campaign – @PauleyP — that's how I got started, now I'm a Twitter-holic. At that time, we had like eight or nine days, or else the shelter was going to be shut down. We raised more than enough money in only three days. It was amazing.
What kind of benefits will the fish tank bring to Hope Gardens?
The guys from "Tanked" on Animal Planet are so amazing. They built this unbelievable fish tank — something these kids have never seen before. They donated it, they installed it, they got the fish, they are even donating the upkeep and maintenance. When they heard about Hope Gardens, they were immediately on-board. These guys do fish tanks for bazillionaire celebrities, but they couldn't wait to be a part of this and see the kids. All three of us are like little kids – we're so excited!
What is coming up this season on "NCIS?"
We are shooting the fifth episode of this season — season 9. We've got an amazing list of guest stars this season. Lily Tomlin — who I geeked out on — Jamie Lee Curtis, Robert Wagner is coming back.
The thing about this show is that it is such an addicting show. Now that we have been going on so long, and the quality of the show has not only maintained, but gotten better, all these incredible actors are fans and they want to be on the show.
It's so great to see that, after nine seasons, your enthusiasm hasn't waned at all…
We are more excited! We all love the show. When I tell people how much we love the show, and how much fun we are having, people always say, "You can totally tell."
Abby and McGee — please tell me it is finally going to happen this season.
You know, I am the last person to ever know what is happening with them! We really are — the actors never know. Especially with Abby's character. She does cartwheels, she speaks sign language, she does yoga… I never know [what she's doing next]. That's one of the great things about her character, but that also means I have no idea what is going on with Abby and McGee. None.
What's your favorite aspect of your character?
I think what is so great about Abby is that she's a super-genius, but she's also a chick who is good at math and science, and she has the biggest heart in the world. She does all these different things: she's a scientist and she bowls with nuns, and she's a good girl. She's such a good role model for girls. It wasn't too long ago that women weren't encouraged to go into math and science. But I hear from young women all over the world that they are going into science because of a fictional character I play.

Food Fiesta
When the words Cinco de Mayo fall on your ears, you might reflexively start salivating for a beer that ends in a vowel. And while I dont blame anyone for wanting a cold one, theres also apparently a rich cultural heritage attached to the holiday. Cue the 2009 Cinco de Mayo Celebrate Culture festival at Civic Center Park, which is being presented by NEWSED and the Santa Fe Redevelopment Corporation.
The fest takes place today and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Id suggest eating nowhere else this weekend, because there will 350 exhibitors and vendors handing out that so-hard-to-pin-down Colorado Mexican cuisine (check out www.cincodemayodenver.com for a list). One of the cant-miss events has got to be the second annual Green Chili Bowl Cook Off, which showcases a dish that is near and dear to the hearts of most Coloradans. Fifteen restaurants will compete for first place and a $500 prize, but also for the Peoples Choice Awards, which involves $100 and bragging rights. The people can also choose from the many entertainment options, headlined by the Paris Escovedo Project, which is visiting Colorado for the first time.
Sat., May 9, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun., May 10, 10 a.m.-8 p.m., 2009

Press release: The effects of Nuclear Testing in East Turkestan – report of the Conference at the EP
On Wednesday 29th February 2012, an important issue was discussed at the European Parliament in Brussels, a topic that is so unknown and that is kept silent by the Chinese authorities already for decades.
The People's Republic of China began to develop its nuclear weapons programme in 1951 following a secret agreement with Moscow which exchanged Soviet assistance for Tibetan uranium. Although this coorperation ended in the 1960s, China made rapid progress and detonated its first nucelar bomb, codenamed '596' in October 1964 in East Turkestan. From 1964-1996, 46 confirmed nuclear detonations have taken place at Lop Nor in East Turkestan, and 22 underground tests were undertaken, including thermonuclear blasts, neutron bombs and an atomic bomb. Urumqi, Turpan, Qumul and Korla are cities in East Turkestan with Uyghur populations that reside within 320 km from the test site. It is believed that 200,000 people have died and at least 1.5 million people have been affected by radioactive material during the 32 years of nuclear tests at Lop Nor. The total amount of plutonium released in the atmosphere in East Turkestan is estimated to be 6 million times more than the Chernobyl accident, which affected one million people worldwide.
Several Members of the European Parliament, Mr. László Tökés, Mrs. Kristiina Ojuland and Mr. Vytautas Landsbergis, organised a conference "50 years after test 596 – China's nuclear programme in East Turkestan and its impact today" in cooperation with the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), the Unrepresented Nations and People's Organisation (UNPO) and the Belgian Uyghur Association.
Moderator of the very interesting conference was Mr. Andrew Swan (UNPO Programme Manager), and guest speakers were Dr. Enver Tohti (Uyghur surgeon and independent researcher), Mr. Vincent Metten (International Campaign for Tibet), Antoinette de Jong (journalist and author), Mr. Martin Schulthes (UNPO Project Coordinator), Mr. Hanno Schedler (Society for Threatened Peoples), Mr. Jean-Marie Rogue (EU Liaison Officer of the International Federation for Human Rights) and Mr. Dominique Lalanne (Chair of the Armes Nucléaires STOP and expert for Observatoire des Armements in France).
Member of the European Parliament Mrs. Kristiina Ojuland from Estonia stated that the nuclear tests at Lop Nor in East Turkestan are not known much at all, so it was time to raise this issue at the European Parliament. She has been Member of the Estonian Parliament and served as Estonia's Foreign Minister from 2002-2005. Estonia has been a part of the former Soviet Union and is independent since 1991.
Dr. Enver Tohti worked as a cancer surgeon in Urumqi in East Turkestan. Secretly and systematically he recorded details of cancer cases after he became alarmed of high rates of the disease amongst Uyghur patients. In 1997 Dr. Tohti leaked his findings to a team of western journalists and an undercover documentary film about the nuclear tests was made in 1998: "Death on the Silk Road". The documentary was broadcast in over 80 TV channels including Japan and the UK (Channel 4). As a result, Dr. Tohti was forced to leave East Turkestan and was granted refugee status in the UK in 1999.
Dr. Tohti: "In the past I was the leader of demonstrations in East Turkestan. China called me 'one of the top terrorists'. In that time, almost 30 years ago, no one got arrested after a demonstration, the students who participated in the protest were kicked out of the University. During Xi Jinping's visit in the US recently, Hu Jintao's successor mentioned that human rights in China have improved much. The reality is very different. After the demonstration in Urumqi on 5th July 2009, several thousands of people were killed and lots of people are still missing."
Dr. Tohti stated that the nuclear tests in East Turkestan have affected millions of people and an independent investigation and a compensation for the victims is needed. "The Uyghur people live in fear, constantly. We have to think about the nuclear victims and the environmental effects. Today we speak for these victims."
"Lop Nor is a tourist area now. The Chinese say that there is no problem. However, the human cost is immense. I have worked at the hospital at Urumqi and I have done undercover research. In 2008 the hospital was expanded with two new and very big buildings and it became the biggest cancer hospital in whole China. In 1997, there were 500 beds in the tumor hospital in Henan and 500 in Xinjiang. In 2008 there were still 500 beds in Henan but 2000 in Xinjian. Many countries also have paid lots of money to dump their nuclear waste in East Turkestan. This nuclear waste has to stop and victims should get a compensation."
"Making the documentary 'Death on the Silk Road' was very risky. I have done undercover research and the documentary was made in 6 weeks time. In order to visit certain places we had to pretend that we were tourists. We also met disabled people, victims of the nuclear tests, I brought the film makers in contact with them. We also had a doctor in our team that could talk with the victims. I also have discovered secret medical documents at the hospital in Urumqi, and a nurse secrectly told me that 90% of the patients in Xinjiang had blood cancer. From 1993 till 2000 double as many people have died of cancer. Since 1976 the cases of cancer have increased a lot."
"After making the documentary, the Chinese kept everything silent. Nothing has happened."
Mr. Vincent Metten of the office of International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) in Brussels explained the situation in Tibet, and the impact of the nuclear tests on the Tibetan plateau. "In 1993, ICT has published the report 'Nuclear Tibet'. The Ninth Academy was responsible for designing all of China's nuclear bombs in the 1970s, and set up the first nuclear bases in China. In 1971 the first nuclear weapon was brought to Tibet, in Amdo. There are 3 nuclear bases in Tibet. Prisoners in labour camps were forced to do dangerous work in test sites. Tibet holds the world's most important known uranium reserves. The largest uranium deposits are in Tibet, near Lhasa. There are 9 uranium mines in Tibet now. The Lop Nor nuclear tests have affected the Uyghur people in East Turkestan and also Tibet."
Journalist, photographer and writer Mrs. Antoinette De Jong from The Netherlands and freelance photographer Robert Knoth have been working on various books and exhibitions. "Certificate no. 000358" is a project about the impact of several nuclear disasters in the former Soviet Union. Between 1999 and 2005 they have visited 4 places in the former Soviet Union: Kazakhstan, the Urals, Chernobyl and Siberia. Their pictures are examples of what has also happened in Lop Nor. "There is no proper health care, the victims had to pay the costs for health care themselves. In hospitals, the effects of radiation were studied, cases of leukaemia, bone cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer, brain tumors, bone diseases etc. The Techa river is a water supply for many people, but as the water was affected by radiation, this also had a big impact."
During a question and answer session, human rights defender Dr. Gaudi-Nagy Tamás who is a Member of the Hungarian Parliament, stated that the nuclear tests disasters in East Turkestan is very sad. "It's a genocide, and the European Parliament is a good floor to raise this issue. It's also important to raise this issue to the United Nations. This is a top human rights issue, justice is needed for the Uyghur people."
Mr. Hassan T. Aydinli of the Iraqi Turkmen Front in Belgium asked Dr. Tohti about the compensations for the Uyghur victims. Dr. Enver Tohti answered that this is a very difficult thing. "In order to establish a system of compensation, the Chinese first have to admit their fault, and when they do they have to give money to the victims, so this is extremely difficult. I have no idea how this could be possible." Dr. Tohti has written lots of letters and e-mails to many people and organisations, even hundreds, but with no answer. "For me it's also difficult as I can not go back to East Turkestan, so there is not much I can do."
The UNPO, the WUC and the Nonviolent Radical Party, Transnational and Transparty of Italy are going to raise this issue to the United Nations.
After the speeches by Mr. Martin Schulthes who is the UNPO Project Coordinator and Mr. Hanno Schedler of the Society for Threatened People, Member of the European Parliament Mr. László Tökés gave a statement. "We have to emphasize the moral aspect of this issue. Ignoring this subject would be totally immoral. The Uyghur people suffer so much of the oppression. The basic, fundamental human rights are so much more important than the economic prosperity of China."
Mr. Jean Marie Rogue, EU Liaison Officer of the International Federation for Human Rights, stated: "We have to break the wall of secrecy. The EU and China should have a constructive dialogue, also about human rights, the protection of the minorities, the release of the political prisoners etc. This dialogue should have effect on the ground in China, this is most important of all."
Mr. Dominique Lalanne, Chair of the Armes Nucléaires STOP and expert for Observatoire des Armements in France, referred to other cases in which victims of nuclear tests got compensations. He also mentioned the fact that his country France has done nuclear tests in the Sahara desert in the past as well.
At the end of the conference, Mr. Dolkun Isa, General Secretary of the WUC, was handed over several presents as an appreciation for his work. He expressed his gratitude to all the participants of the conference.
Mr. Dolkun Isa: "200,000 people have died because of those nuclear tests and millions of people were affected. This happened 30 years ago. We should not forget this and raise this issue at the UN. China has to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty that they have signed in 1996 but never ratify. China has to allow an independent research to find out the extent to which the Uyghurs have been effected by nuclear testing. They also have to implement the necessary measures to provide compensation to the victims. This would bring China in line with current policy developments in the US, Russia and France. China has to recognise their responsibility for the continuing suffering and provide appropriate medical care. The international community, including the EU, the UN and environmental NGOs must continue to draw attention to this neglected issue."

Sheesh! Some of you may be aware that I have a column over at HubPages.com and I write in-depth about my beliefs regarding the Mormon Church a.k.a. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints.
I have been writing over there for about two months. Actually, it has gone really quite well. I enjoy being around so many different people. I enjoy the learning that is available on a multitude of topics that are published over there. And I mean multitudes...
Recently, I ran into a problem with of one of my articles being flagged and penalized by the Hub Pages computer as to my article being duplicate content... meaning that the same article or parts of it.... were found somewhere else online. This is a no no, because apparently - the almighty Google will penalize a website for duplicate content.
Why then, would I publish that which would get penalized? Well, frankly - the article that they 'flagged' is totally original.
A lot of people are discussing Mormonism online these days. What I write over on the Hub, is my perspective, opinions and understandings about the LDS Church. I do not cut and paste.
Funny thing, although my content was my own... because they could find the same subject written on elsewhere online... the penalty stuck! Very frustrating!
Hub Pages, rates each article or Hub, upon a 'secret' system. Every article goes up and down depending upon how the system rates its content; also upon traffic it receives... popularity and hopefully Google ratings?
This is good and this is bad.
Good: Appparently, even if a subjet or article that you write is not 'popular' and driving a ton of traffic, becuase of the system

Good 3.4 /5 from 30 reviews
Found this hotel based on our "choice" of wanting a hotel next to the airport - famous for its amazing runway views. Check in was very efficient and personalised, we were escorted to our room by the lovely lady from reception. This hotel is perfect for a few days away. The planes are there right outside your balcony, but as soon as you close the (double glazed) doors and the curtains you don't hear a thing. The rooms have just been redecorated for the 2015 season I think, as they were modern in appearance yet traditional in a Greek hotel kind of way. This is not somewhere to come for a week's beach holiday but does make a perfect base if you want to explore the island. Local transport is available right outside the hotel. Buses run every 20 minutes to Corfu Town, from where you can catch buses to most parts of the island. Alternatively inexpensive car rental is available from reception - they use Lord Travel. We caught a taxi from the airport which cost €15 and on the way back reception called us one for the airport, again costing €15. Journey took less than 10 minutes each way, and then only that long because of the one way system through Kanoni and Corfu Town. In the evening there was plenty to do, we ate at the Captains Restaurant - we the entertainment was provided by the owner and his staff. A typical Greek meal cost us just €6 each and a carafe of wine €3. Will definitely be visiting Kanoni, and the Royal Hotel again this summer!

There's these things that live in society,
A parasitic burden to the tax payer,
They are leeches that come in variety,
A damaging force to the Ozone layer,
They are monsters that come out at night,
They walk with a limp and their speech is slurred,
They're hostile, dangerous and wanting to fight,
They move in groups like cows in a herd,
They prey on the helpless and weak,
They scavange like vultures on a kill,
And use a skillfull and cunning technique,
While stealing from you for the thrill,
They are know by many names,
By many different derogatory terms,
Because of the benefits they claim,
And what their anti-social behaviour confirms,
Some people call them yobs,
But i dont like to use that term,
I prefer to call them chavs or knobs,
Or simply a waste of good sperm.

I've been trying to use the stutter~ help patch to manipulate my guitar tone but it doesn't seem to be producing a desirable effect aside from a constant buzz. Would any of you folks happen to know any basic stutter patches that would give me a cool effect with my guitar?
Just something to analyze and work with for a start.

Daisy is a happy dog of 3 years old that looks at the world with puppy eyes. She has the softest fur and tummy and loves her neck scratched. She is more than happy to curl up and snooze all day by your side or to romp around outside. She loves bones and always hides her rawhides. She is well behaved and eager to please. If you give her the time, she'll learn exactly what you're asking of her. She's defensive about other dogs, but I think she may grow out of that with some calm nurturing. She's very patient with being poked, or put in harnesses or sweaters. She is a wonderful addition to any house hold at 40lbs of cuteness.
