MOSCOW, Nov 7 (Reuters) President Vladimir Putin gave Iran no secret messages about its nuclear programme during his recent visit to Tehran, a senior Russian diplomat said today.
Iran's then chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, was quoted by Iran's official news agency on Oct 17 as saying Putin gave Iranian leaders a ''special message'' last month. He did not elaborate.
''There were no secret messages,'' Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak said when asked by Reuters about Putin's talks.
He said Putin pushed to resolve the Iranian problem through negotiations which stuck to the positions of the six-power mediators on Iran, the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
''We are acting along with the common position of the six, common to the UN Security Council and common to the ruling council of the IAEA,'' Kislyak told reporters after a debate in the Russian parliament.
''Our position is to resolve all the problems through negotiations,'' he said, when asked about Russian policy on Iran.
Putin's visit to Tehran, the first trip to Iran by a Russian leader since Josef Stalin went in 1943, raised speculation that Russia was seeking to find a compromise in the international stand-off over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
The United States, Israel and leading European Union countries suspect Iran is seeking to build a nuclear bomb under cover of its civilian nuclear programme.
Russia, a veto-wielding member of the UN security council, says there is no evidence Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons. Iran says it has a right to its own civilian nuclear programme.
WIDER DEAL WITH WASHINGTON? Russian and international media speculated that Putin could have told Iran that if it gave up nuclear enrichment, the United States would open direct talks with Tehran.
Ali Larijani resigned as Iran's chief nuclear negotiator soon after making the comments about Putin, in what analysts described as a split with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Kremlin fears a military strike against Iran by the United States would spark a wider conflict close to its southern borders and Putin said this month that ''running around like a madman with a blade'' is not the best way to solve such issues.
Russia has opposed tougher sanctions on Iran and is helping to build Iran's first nuclear power plant at Bushehr though it has repeatedly delayed sending nuclear fuel to the plant.
Some analysts have speculated that Putin could be seeking to use Moscow's leverage with Tehran to get assurances from Washington over US plans to deploy a missile defence shield in Europe and the future of Serbia's Kosovo province.
But Kyslyak dismissed suggestions of a wider deal. ''...It is not very serious because on every one of those problems Russia has a independent and principled position, as presumably the American side also have,'' he said.

My spider senses indicate there is a fair bit of negativity here...
Admittedly, as much as I like Windows 8, I'll be most likely waiting for Windows 9 to be released before my next upgrade, so that MS has time to respond to feedback and fix any potential compatibility issues (not that I've had any on the preview version). However, this doesn't detract from the fact that $15 is a pretty good price for an upgrade, especially when you take into account the usual price for a pro copy of Windows and that the upgrade is potentially going to allow a jump from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 8 Pro. At the end of the day, nobody is holding a gun to your head asking you to upgrade. For some people, this deal will be helpful, for others it won't. |

Did you miss the part where you have to buy a new pc with win 7 to get the voucher to upgrade.
So anyone who already has win 7 has to pay full price. If I was buying a new pc I would expect it to have the latest OS and not have to pay extra to get it, this is just to help stores sell older pc's that come with win 7. |

EDIT - Also, I'll add that some people who need to replace a PC over the next few months may not be able to wait for the Win8 release date. The upgrade is a nice option to have, whether it gets taken up or not. |

The upgrade off is only for NEW PC's....it's not for anybody on Windows 7 or anybody that goes out and buys windows 7. The offer replaces the last offer, which was new PC's with VISTA get a FREE upgrade to 7. Now new pc's bought with 7 get a £10 upgrade to 8. There aren't really any positives.

This is exactly the same as it has always been. Try to prevent people from holding off hardware purchases pre Windows 8 by giving them cheap upgrades if they buy Windows 7 kit.

Nice offer for those who will actually need to use this but for me I am sticking to Window's 7 simply because of the Metro interface, if i want a tablet styled OS I will buy a tablet.
Win 7 works fine for me so I will stick with that unless MS decide to make a version of Win 8 without the Metro.

They need to make it useable as a desktop OS and it needs to have serious advantages over 7 Pro to even get me to consider it. Currently seems like an overly gimicky tablet OS they're trying to shove to the desktop market with the 'higher number is better' argument in my opinion.

About the only positive is IF you are planning on buying a new PC with Win 7 Home Basic, by the old system if you wanted Windows 8 Pro you'd have to pay full whack, whereas now you can get it for $15.
But that's it: it's a very specific situation that I can't imagine will apply to a single person here to be honest.

Headline is misleading on the article it is not the upgrade programme pricing at all. It is the if you buy old stock computers you get to pay for an upgrade. It is designed to make Microsoft more money on the sale of older hardware.
When real upgrade pricing is out then i might be more impressed but given that I can see no compelling reason to upgrade my win7 desktop or my vista laptop (and god forbid what it would do to our netboook) I will stay as I am unless the upgrade is cheap (as in free pretty much) |

Not misleading at all: it's the (rumoured) pricing for the upgrade programme, not the upgrade editions.

Data Analysis & Use
Data analysis and use or "data-driven decision making" is a critical aspect of quality service provision from the student level – collecting and responding to formative and summative data and making instructional and service decisions to address strengths and needs – to the school building, agency, district and community, and state level – collecting and responding to data on the effectiveness of programs and processes to make policy, funding, and other systems level decisions.
Collecting, analyzing, and using data in meaningful ways at the student level are important aspects of Transition Planning and a critical component of efforts to increase the likelihood of Graduation. The resources located in this area of NTACT's website are focused on systems level (schools, districts, community agencies, councils, state agencies) analysis and use of data to improve the quality of transition education and services.
State Performance Plan (SPP)/ Annual Performance Report (APR) Part B Indicator Data Collection, Analysis, and Use
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) annually collects data from every State and U.S. Territory on indicators of compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) and results of program efforts. Several of these indicators relate closely to the secondary education and transition services for students with disabilities. See the Tree of Influence document, originally developed by the Western Regional Resource Center, for a visual of the relationship of Indicators. The most current guidance on this and all SPP/APR Indicators is available at osep.grads360.org. A PowerPoint presentation overviewing the transition-related Indicators and their relationship is available here: Transition Indicators 101.
The State Toolkit for Examining Post-School Success (STEPSS) is a web-based data-based decision making tool designed to support state departments of education in disseminating and using data related to secondary transition (SPP Part B Indicators 1, 2, 13, and 14) to improve in-school transition programs for youth with disabilities. STEPSS was developed by the National Post-School Outcomes Center, the National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center, and the National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities in 2013. It continues to be updated and maintained by NTACT. A Facilitator's Guide for using STEPSS provides additional information on STEPSS. For more information or support regarding STEPSS, please contact Charlotte Alverson, firstname.lastname@example.com
See the Core Data Tools for Dropout Prevention
Indicator B-1is the proportion of youth with disabilities in a cohort who graduate from high school with a regular diploma within four years. An example of this calculation is shown below.
# of cohort members receiving a regular HS diploma by end of the 2012-13 school year
# of first-time 9th graders in fall 2009 (starting cohort) + transfers in – transfers out – emigrated out – deceased during school years 2009-10 through 2012-13
States are permitted to calculate extended-year cohorts that credit youth who took five or more years to graduate. If this is offered, the extended rate is calculated for all students—not just students with disabilities.
Data and performance targets for this Indicator are the same used for reporting to the Department under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Previous analysis of State performance on Indicator 1 can be reviewed in the Indicator B-1 Summary.
See the Core Data Tools for Dropout Prevention
Indicator B-2 is the proportion of students with disabilities, ages 14 – 21, who exited high school by dropping out during a particular year compared with the total number of students with disabilities who exited high school during that year. An example of this calculation is shown below.
# of youth (ages 14-21) who exited by dropping out during the 2012-13 school year
# who graduated with a regular high school diploma + received a certificate + reached maximum age + dropped out + deceased during the 2012-13 school year
The data used for this Indicator are the same as reported under Section 618. In recent years, states have been allowed to report their dropout rates using whatever rate they had previously been using. In years past, the majority of states have reported an event rate (single year proportion), followed in frequency by adjusted cohort rates (similar in nature to the graduation rate calculation), the above described OSEP exiter rate, and other leaver/cohort type rates. Previous analysis of State performance on Indicator 1 can be reviewed in the Indicator B-2 Summary.
- Resources for Indicator B-2: Dropout Rate
Summary report on all States' FFY 2011 Annual Performance Report Data for OSEP Indicator B2 - dropout rate for students with disabilities. NDPC-SD
The National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center (NSTTAC) developed an Indicator Checklist, in consultation with the OSEP in 2006 and updated it in 2009 and 2012. This checklist is not required, but offers states and districts an OSEP-approved resource for data collection and use.
This form is designed to meet the minimum requirements for collecting and reporting data on Indicator 13 of the Part B State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report. It allows a school, district, or state to review the data for each item simultaneously across all postsecondary goal areas.
This multiple column form meets the requirements for collecting and reporting data on Indicator 13, allows a school, district, or state to more deeply analyze professional development and program change needs by providing data on each item for each postsecondary goal area.

Student Case Study Examples & Non-Examples
Indicator B-14 are the data collected regarding the percent of youth who are no longer in secondary school, had IEPs in effect at the time they left school and were: (a) enrolled in higher education within one year of leaving high school, (b) enrolled in higher education or competitively employed within one year of leaving high school, or (c) enrolled in higher education or some other postsecondary education or training program; or competitively employed or in some other employment within one year of leaving high school."

What is the SSIP?
The State Systemic Improvement Plan (Indicator Part B-17 of the SPP/APR) is "a comprehensive, ambitious, yet achievable multi-year plan for improving results for children with disabilities" and consists of three phases, beginning with the identification of a State Identified Measurable Result (SIMR), submitted to OSEP in April, 2015. NTACT is partnering with the National Center on Systemic Improvement Website for NCSI and the IDEA Data Center Website for IDC to assist States as they select and initially implement improvement activities and develop evaluation plans in phases 2 and 3 of the SSIP. Specifically, NTACT will assist States focused on Graduation or Post-School Outcomes as their SIMR and participate in NCSI's Graduation and Post-School Outcomes State Learning Collaborative. For specific guidance and assistance from NTACT, please contact us firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information about the SSIP from OSEP, visit osep.grads360.org.
Data Analysis and Tools
Core Data Tools for Dropout Prevention
The National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities originally developed a set of Excel-based data tools to help districts and schools organize, examine, analyze, and share their data that impact graduation and dropout rates. NTACT will continue to update and provide technical assistance for use of these tools, which can support a school team's work carrying out a root cause analysis of the factors that impact school completion rates. They also can inform the development and evaluation of a local intervention plan. For additional guidance in using these tools, contact Dr. Matthew Klare with NTACT, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Evaluation Toolkit
NTACT is charged to assist State Education Agencies, State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies, and local education and service provider agencies and communities with using quality data to make decisions regarding programming and policies that improve outcomes for students with disabilities. The Evaluation Toolkit, originally developed by the National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center is resource to assist educators and service providers to improve programs by determining what is working and not working with specific sample tools and guidance.
Interdisciplinary Team Planning Tool
NTACT assists state and local interagency teams in developing strategic plans to improve secondary transition education and services, using an online planning tool. This planning may include the use of the STEPSS tool, the QI-2, the Dropout Data Tools to inform the planning process. The transitionprogramtool.org includes the capacity to house data from other sources – including some of the data displays for Part B Indicator Data from NTACT, data from the VR State Plan, as well as other sources of data relevant to transition education and outcomes. Transitionprogramtool.org walks teams through a process of a needs assessment through the development of actionable goals including clearly delineated opportunities to measure progress.

Tolly has done it again with the blogger meet up - raising the bar for the rest of us who get together unofficially. Good thing we have an excuse to get together and partAY every once in awhile, because we just may start to overrun each other with our own little meetups (oh, who am I kidding we'll do it any way and probably even more so as a result!) that couldn't possibly include everybody as well as Tolly has managed to do at both the bleetups. Cory Ryan photobooth, Mama Fu's edamame and ahi tuna, Tito's Vodka and Sweet Leaf Tea drinks, the Lemmings, and Built by Snow, all at the very cool Mohawk venue. Who could ask for more? Sorry I don't have more pictures of the actual event! We had too much fun taking pictures of all of us girlies together, besides I'm still working on getting back into the groove of things. Another post to come and more pictures on the pre-party at Whole Foods Taste of Thanksgiving!

Secret St Kitts: lesser-known attractions, bars and restaurants
Our St Kitts expert reveals his favourite lesser-known attractions, bars and restaurants
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park In 1690, British forces began work on a hilltop defence that over the course of the next century grew into an imposing fortress. Built by African slaves, at its peak Brimstone Hill was home to over a thousand soldiers and their families. Abandoned in 1825, it has since been restored and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In my view, it is one of the most spectacular sights in the Leeward Islands. It is also a green and spacious national park with superb views, so feel free to bring a picnic and take your time exploring a monumental ruin that includes a formidable citadel, an engrossing historical museum and a poignant cemetery. Allow half a day and invest in the audio guide (US$5/EC$13), which must be picked up at the ticket booth as you drive up. Credit cards are accepted only for payments over US$20/EC$54. Brimstone Hill, near Sandy Point, St Thomas www.brimstonehillfortress.org Mt Liamuiga hike Ready for a serious hike? Then it's time to tackle the 3,972ft volcanic peak of Mt Liamuiga in the north of the island, which until independence in 1983 was known as Mt Misery. The two-hour ascent climbs through a cathedral-like rainforest with magnificent trees, then emerges on the rim of a half-mile-wide volcanic crater to look down at a lost green world 700ft below. A good level of fitness is required, but the paths are maintained and the higher you go the cooler it gets. Several companies offer guided trips with hotel pick-up – my favourite is the highly experienced and extremely motivating O'Neil Mulraine, who rewards his guests with a mountain-top snack at the summit. You won't see much if it's cloudy or rainy, so if the weather looks promising arrange to do the hike as soon as you can. Mt Liamuiga, St John
St Kitts Scenic Railway In 1912, work began on a narrow gauge railway line to transport sugar cane across the north of St Kitts to the outskirts of Basseterre. Completed 14 years later, it remained in use until 2005 when the industry finally closed. Now it has a second life taking tourists on a two-hour, 18-mile trundle around the Atlantic coast with a guided commentary and drinks. Passengers travel in air-conditioned, double-decker carriages as far as La Vallee Station in Newton Ground, then a 45-minute bus ride completes the round-island tour. The journey is also available in reverse and is a popular excursion for cruise ship passengers. You might want to take earplugs – I find the commentary can be very loud and a bit overbearing. Needs Must Train Station, Needs Must Estate, St Peter Eat - El Fredo's Run by an amiable couple who lived in Wales for some years, this small, wood-framed courtyard restaurant stands close to the shore in Basseterre and is only open for lunch. There is no view, but a steady stream of satisfied local customers makes it clear that this is a good place to try some Caribbean favourites. Options include goat water (spicy meat stew), curried conch and ground provisions (traditional vegetables such as yams, cassava and sweet potato). Ask about the specials, which could be snapper caught that morning, but be wary of the hot sauce...Try one of El Fredo's juices made from local herbs and fruits, such as sorrel, guava and soursop (US$2/EC$5). New Town, Bay Road, Basseterre Ballahoo With a commanding view of Basseterre's answer to Piccadilly Circus, this breezy, balconied restaurant makes a welcome pit-stop if you are shopping or sightseeing in the island's capital. Decorated in cheerful Caribbean colours, it's open all day and has a wide-ranging and reasonably priced menu. Go early for a traditional breakfast of saltfish with creole sauce, or drop in for a reviving lobster sandwich. From here, it's just a short walk to the market, National Museum and duty-free shops of Port Zante. I always ask about Ballahoo's daily specials, which range from chicken curry to blackened grouper. Reservations are generally not necessary, except if visiting with a large party, or if an event is on. The Circus, Fort Street, Basseterre, St George (Read Full Article Here)

When it comes to choosing the "right tools for the job," the prudent contractor does his homework before getting in over his head. Today, choosing tools incorrectly, or not including the needed tools in the bid for a project, can financially sink a contractor when repairs are needed because of poor slab placement. In some cases, multimillion dollar lawsuits may result. These scenarios do happen and are avoidable when a job is carefully evaluated and the right tools are used. Read more

Foo-Fighters Crowdsource For Va Concert
The Foo Fighters are on board to play a show completely orchestrated by fans without any input from the band members themselves. Local Foo lovers in Richmond, Virginia started an online crowdfunding campaign back in March in hopes that Dave Grohl and company would take the stage in the city for the first time in 15 years. They asked fans to buy tickets to the hypothetical concert, and hundreds of people did, raising more than 70-thousand dollars. Two local companies even chipped in by buying five-thousand dollars worth of tickets that they plan to give away. So with the gig essentially already sold out, the Foo Fighters responded with a Tweet on the band's official page that reads, "See ya soon…let's have a good time."

Stop the bogus "Emergency Clause"

During the 2016 Short Legislative Session, Oregon Democrats frivolously added the 'Emergency Clause' to bill after bill. They were in a hurry to pass legislation to cut off the voice of the people of Oregon. How? Any bill passed with the Emergency Clause goes straight to the Governor and becomes law immediately on her signature. It is not subject to Oregon's revered Initiative process.

Boston College DT Jaryd Rudolph pleads guilty in sex-recording case
Boston College junior defensive tackle Jaryd Rudolph has entered a guilty plea after being charged with violating state wire tap laws by recording a sexual encounter between his roommate and a woman and then distributing it to others, the Associated Press reportedon Wednesday.
According to CBS Boston, Rudolph, 19, is accused of recording the woman's "sexual noises" via cell phone on February 15 and sharing it with others, including members of the football team, the police report said.
The woman's lawyer says that hearing Rudolph admit to the facts is "significant to the healing process."
The judge in the case issued a three-month continuance. If Rudolph completes community service, the charge will be dismissed.
Rudolph, a 6-foot-4, 293-pounder from Plympton, Mass., had 16 tackles and a half-sack in seven games as a reserve for the Eagles this past fall.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XBy John Higgins
Beacon Journal staff writer
Paula Black spent years warning the state that the money it was handing out in her autistic son's name was being misspent at a private Akron Christian school.
When the state investigated this year, it concluded she was correct.
While Black still believes in the Autism Scholarship voucher program that allows her to seek private services instead of a public education, she wishes the state cared more about the quality of those services.
Hers was one of two complaints filed last school year with the Ohio Department of Education the first year that parents could question the value of services and both resulted in investigations that exposed improper use of state money.
A third complaint making similar allegations is now under investigation.
The program gives parents up to $20,000 a year to spend on private services from the state's list of 231 approved providers.
Black, the mother of a 15-year-old autistic boy, filed the first complaint, alleging that Emmanuel Christian Academy wasn't following the education plan established for her son.
''I really was naively under the impression that there were some guidelines, that there was some structure,'' Black said.
She said she couldn't believe that anybody ''would be stupid enough to give someone $20,000 and there's no accountability, no checks and balances. . . . .''
Black's son was born in 1995 and within two years, she noticed that he wasn't reaching
certain milestones.
By kindergarten, he was falling behind but Black didn't know exactly what was wrong until the spring of 2002.
That's when a doctor at Akron Children's Hospital diagnosed her son with a condition on the less severe end of the autism spectrum called ''Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.''
Her son was enrolled in kindergarten at the academy. Black said that when she told the principal, Veronica Suber, about the diagnosis, Suber told her that the academy couldn't provide what her son needed and he'd have to withdraw.
Suber did not return repeated phone calls requesting a discussion about the autism program and Black's complaint.
Public school years
For the next three years, he attended Akron schools.
His mother always had to explain that although he has autism, he wasn't curled up in the corner banging his head against the wall.
Her son, whose name is being withheld at his mother's request, is a polite young man who enjoys playing video games and can tick off a litany of his favorites. But he needs a specialist to help him comprehend what he's reading, express himself in writing and reason through a math problem.
She worried that he lacked the street smarts to survive in a regular public school without a lot of support and tried unsuccessfully to find a better school.
Then one day she ran into the Emmanuel Academy principal at the supermarket.
She said Suber told her about a new state program that provided money to parents of autistic children to attend private schools. The academy was on the state's ''approved, registered'' list of providers for the Autism Scholarship Program.
Family applies
Black had an Individualized Educational Program for her son from his time with Akron schools, so she was eligible to apply.
The individualized plan which is required to receive a scholarship spells out educational goals for the child and the specific services, such as speech therapy or one-on-one time with a specialist, needed to reach those goals.
The academy qualified because it had employees with the proper special education certification to work with her son on his individualized plan not unlike the services he had received in public schools.
Black's son was at Emmanuel for four years. But over time, she saw him falling behind, given assignments beyond his ability or simply given fewer questions than other kids instead of the extra support he needed.
Renita Walker, one of her son's teachers who has since left the school, admits that she didn't even have a teacher's license, much less any training to work with autistic children.
Walker had Black's son for half days when he was in the fourth grade.
''He sat in my classroom, but I didn't interact with him,'' Walker said. ''I know that there were times when I was teaching and he was somewhere else. He wasn't participating. I knew I couldn't interact with him.''
Son bullied
Black said she tried repeatedly to work things out with teachers, the principal and the school board. But at the same time, her son was growing increasingly upset about bullying.
''It happens at these bathrooms,'' Black said. ''They were messing with him when he was peeing. They were messing with him when he was changing. And it got built up and built up. Somebody tapped him. He just exploded, threw the milk carton and, whoever it was, hit the person in the eye, and he got in trouble, so he had to get a swat.''
Her son remembers the bullies and the swats.
''Sometimes when I was afraid I was going to get bullied again, sometimes I overreact and I got two swats for it,'' her son explained.
Paddling children with autism is never appropriate, according to Barb Yavorcik, executive director of the Autism Society of Ohio. ''You can't paddle the autism out of a kid.''
Told to go elsewhere
Whenever Black called the state to complain that Emmanuel wasn't fulfilling its obligations, she was told that if she didn't like the provider, she should just take the voucher money elsewhere.
''If you get bad service from McDonald's, you can complain to McDonald's,'' said Ohio Department of Education spokesman Scott Blake when asked about the general policy. ''If they don't fix it, you go to Burger King next time. We're in a parental choice setup.''
But switching schools for a single mother, who was raising two children while going to school herself and working long shifts as a nurse, isn't as easy as picking a restaurant in the mall's food court.
Black said she tried at the start of every year to find some place better, but other schools were either full or unable to provide the services her son needed.
Last Nov. 6, her frayed relationship with the school snapped as she argued that information about a school play was not made available to her.
With her son standing by her side, the principal informed her that her son could no longer attend the academy not because of anything he had done but because Black had complained too much.
Her son was crushed that he'd been expelled through no fault of his own, which prompted his mother to file a formal complaint with the state, a process that had only recently been made available to parents.
State backs family
The Ohio Department of Education investigation concluded that Emmanuel had shortchanged her son on time with a special education teacher providing just one hour a week of math and reading help instead of the required 90 minutes a day.
Emmanuel had believed the other time could be provided by classroom teachers who weren't certified in special education.
Emmanuel also billed the state for twice the required speech therapy and failed to deduct the costs of religious instruction such as field trips to a Kentucky creationism museum.
''We don't pay for Bible study, either,'' said Ann Guinan, assistant director for the Office for Exceptional Children at the Ohio Department of Education.
The state determined that academy must pay back $456.96.
But the state said that the only way her son could get the services he was owed was to attend academy three hours a day last summer the same school that expelled him last November.
Guinan acknowledged that parents don't like that answer.
''It's not about punishing,'' Guinan said of investigations.
''We don't have jail terms, fines. It's not that kind of law. We are assisting people to do what they're required to do under the law.''
Black refused to do that and academy agreed to pay for her son to make up the owed time at Sylvan Learning Center.
New provider
Black's son finished the last school year with another approved provider that Black says is doing a much better job.
But she still wishes the state exercised more oversight.
''Everybody's getting paid and this child is getting lost,'' Black said. ''It's a crime. This needs to stop.''

93An unobtrusive note of wood highlights the perfumed, airy and relatively elegant red berry fruit, spice and Gevrey style earth-infused nose. There is a more evident minerality to the big-bodied, sleek and muscular flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the pungently saline finish. This is sufficiently accessible that it should be approachable young but allow for longer-term aging too if desired. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2026+ |

Robust high-quality nickel plated barbed fitting with cylindrical thread (G1/4"). The fitting is suitable for PVC, PU, PA, silicone and PE hoses with an inner diameter of 10mm. With integrated 1/4" Perbunan(r) O-Ring seal.
We recommend the use of hose clamps or zip ties for best possible safety!
Note for watercooling beginners:
The connectors for hoses(7/16", 3/8",1/2") are provided with measurements in mm in our shop. These can differ by +-1mm, which is no problem as hose clamps have to be used for installation. If the hose is to be mounted without a clamp, a larger fitting should be chosen. With some fittings that tend to be larger, it is possible though that a hose with an inner diameter of 13mm actually does seal without a hose clamp.
10mm (3/8") hose clamp: up to 8mm none, from 10mm up required
10mm (7/16") hose clamp: up to 8mm none, from 10mm up required

Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems (Audiobook)

"I rehabilitate dogs. I train people." -Cesar Millan. There are at least 68 million dogs in America, and their owners lavish billions of dollars on them every year. So why do so many pampered pets have problems? In this definitive and accessible guide, Cesar Millan-star of National Geographic Channel's hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan-reveals what dogs truly need to live a happy and fulfilled life.
From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America's most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense-his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar's Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions.
Cesar's formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected.
Whether you're having issues with your dog or just want to make a good bond even stronger, this book will give you a deeper appreciation of how your dog sees the world, and it will help make your relationship with your beloved pet a richer and more rewarding one.
Learn what goes on inside your dog's mind and develop a positive, fulfilling relationship with your best friend
In Cesar's Way, Cesar Millan-nationally recognized dog expert and star of National Geographic Channel's hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan-helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. You'll learn:
- What your dog really needs may not be what you're giving him
- Why a dog's natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship
- How to relate to your dog on a canine level
- There are no "problem breeds," just problem owners
- Why every dog needs a job
- How to choose a dog who's right for you and your family
- The difference between discipline and punishment
- And much more!
Filled with fascinating anecdotes about Cesar's longtime clients, and including forewords by the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is the only book you'll need to forge a new, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an American editorialist, journalist, short-story writer and satirist. Today, he is best known for his short stories, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and The Devil's Dictionary.
The sardonic view of human nature that informed his work – along with his vehemence as a critic – earned him the nickname, "Bitter Bierce." Despite his reputation as a searing critic, however, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including the poet, George Sterling and the fiction writer, W. C. Morrow.
More on Wikipedia…
(1299 quotes found)
"DRAMATIST, n. One who adapts plays from the French."
Ambrose Bierce
"OBLIVION, n. The state or condition in which the wicked cease from struggling and the dreary are at rest. Fame's eternal dumping ground. Cold storage for high hopes. A place where ambitious authors meet their works without pride and their betters without envy. A dormitory without an alarm clock."
"MAD, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence; not conforming to standards of thought, speech and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority; in short, unusual. It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad by officials destitute of evidence that themselves are sane. For illustration, this present (and illustrious) lexicographer is no firmer in the faith of his own sanity than is any inmate of any madhouse in the land; yet for aught he knows to the contrary, instead of the lofty occupation that seems to him to be engaging his powers he may really be beating his hands against the window bars of an asylum and declaring himself Noah Webster, to the innocent delight of many thoughtless spectators."
"REGALIA, n. Distinguishing insignia, jewels and costume of such ancient and honorable orders as Knights of Adam; Visionaries of Detectable Bosh; the Ancient Order of Modern Troglodytes; the League of Holy Humbug; the Golden Phalanx of Phalangers; the Genteel Society of Expurgated Hoodlums; the Mystic Alliances of Georgeous Regalians; Knights and Ladies of the Yellow Dog; the Oriental Order of Sons of the West; the Blatherhood of Insufferable Stuff; Warriors of the Long Bow; Guardians of the Great Horn Spoon; the Band of Brutes; the Impenitent Order of Wife-Beaters; the Sublime Legion of Flamboyant Conspicuants; Worshipers at the Electroplated Shrine; Shining Inaccessibles; Fee-Faw-Fummers of the inimitable Grip; Jannissaries of the Broad-Blown Peacock; Plumed Increscencies of the Magic Temple; the Grand Cabal of Able-Bodied Sedentarians; Associated Deities of the Butter Trade; the Garden of Galoots; the Affectionate Fraternity of Men Similarly Warted; the Flashing Astonishers; Ladies of Horror; Cooperative Association for Breaking into the Spotlight; Dukes of Eden; Disciples Militant of the Hidden Faith; Knights-Champions of the Domestic Dog; the Holy Gregarians; the Resolute Optimists; the Ancient Sodality of Inhospitable Hogs; Associated Sovereigns of Mendacity; Dukes-Guardian of the Mystic Cess-Pool; the Society for Prevention of Prevalence; Kings of Drink; Polite Federation of Gents-Consequential; the Mysterious Order of the Undecipherable Scroll; Uniformed Rank of Lousy Cats; Monarchs of Worth and Hunger; Sons of the South Star; Prelates of the Tub-and-Sword."
"A penny saved is a penny to squander."
"OLEAGINOUS, adj. Oily, smooth, sleek. Disraeli once described the manner of Bishop Wilberforce as "unctuous, oleaginous, saponaceous." And the good prelate was ever afterward known as Soapy Sam. For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it."
"CUNNING, n. The faculty that distinguishes a weak animal or person from a strong one. It brings its possessor much mental satisfaction and great material adversity. An Italian proverb says: "The furrier gets the skins of more foxes than asses.""
"LUNARIAN, n. An inhabitant of the moon, as distinguished from Lunatic, one whom the moon inhabits. The Lunarians have been described by Lucian, Locke and other observers, but without much agreement. For example, Bragellos avers their anatomical identity with Man, but Professor Newcomb says they are more like the hill tribes of Vermont."
"Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion."
"MEANDER, n. To proceed sinuously and aimlessly. The word is the ancient name of a river about one hundred and fifty miles south of Troy, which turned and twisted in the effort to get out of hearing when the Greeks and Trojans boasted of their prowess."

This is oneshot..I will continue if enough people wish me to.
Warnings: This does contain self-harm, thoughts of suicide, and abuse.
Harry stood on the corner of Privet Drive. Letting the comforting cold wind blow past his numb body. The heavy metal knife like a dead-weight in his pocket. The same knife Sirius Black his Godfather had given him. Currently his Godfather was watching him from the bushes. Wondering what his Godson was doing. Standing on the corner in plain sight. He was about to get out of his hiding place to talk to the young teen, when the teen in question began walking across teh street. Coninuing on his never-ending stroll.
Harry walked slowly and steadily. His heart beating slowly along with his delibaret footsteps. He knew Sirius was on guard tonight. He knew Sirius was watching his every step. He didn't care.
Sighing Harry thought back on his miserable life at the Dursleys since school had started.His life was full of pain. Never-ending pain. Being beated physically, and mentally. His mind bruised almost as much as his body. His wrists held a ladder of pain relivers. Cut after red scabby cut. Each a sign of letting his pain flow like the red tears that shed from his wrist intead of his broken face.
Every summer had been the same. Arriving from School. Doing chores, writing letters, recieving letters, and being beaten. Until something happened at school before he left. Cedric Diggory had died. Right in front of Harry.
It was Harry's fault of course. He had debated with the boy until he decided they would both grab the cup at the same time. Harry surrvived the revival of Voldemort. Cedric didn't. Because Voldemort was back security had been doubled around Harry. Instead of one guard there were two. Mundungus was supposed to be with Sirius but he was missing. Probably selling stolen cauldrons. The worst thing to Harry about this lock down was being cut off from the Wizarding World. Dumbledore had taken Hedwig away. Saying Harry would get her back when School was back in. Harry was on lock down. Supposedly to protect him.
In The End it just pushed Harry farther back into the overwhelming darkness. Walking past the deserted swings at the park Harry continued walking. His feet leading him. His mind no longer working properly. Thus Harry had been walking for at least two hours and Sirius was getting worried. Harry was leaving his boundries. Correction. Harry had left his boundries a half-hour ago.
Walking up to the teen Sirius appeared at his side casually. "Harry. You left the boudnries." He informed him gently. Harry continued walking. "Hey. Kiddo. Stop for a sec." Sirius said concernedly. Putting a hand on Harry's departing shoulder to stop him. Turning him around to face himself, Sirius lifted his chin with his index finger. "What's wrong?"
All Harry did was look at Sirius. His eyes blank of emotion or recognition. Before answering him Harry stepped back away from Sirius's touch.
"Everything. Is wrong. Everything is fucked up." Harry answered before turning around and walking back to the Dursleys. His head bent once again. But this time he was ready. Ready to add another step to his ladder of pain. Maybe this could be the final step. Maybe Harry could finally get away from this hell-hole. Maybe.
If you want me to continue I will. If enough people review.
This is for Cassie, Genevive, and Alexa.

Workchic is all about recognizing great talent and independent designers. According to Marsha Hallet, from Hallet Sweater Art, the silhouettes of a sweater can make you feel and look slimmer. Here is what she had to say below:
I started knitting as a young girl inspired by my grandmother who was an expert knitter and prolific producer of sweaters, dresses, scarves, and afghans for our entire family. From the very first pair of mittens she helped me make, I have been infatuated with this craft.
At Hallet Sweater Art, we believe your clothes should express where you want to be on the career ladder. The days of demure are done. A powerful image is important to you. You can find more these of slimming cashmere sweaters on Workchic.com. Hallet sweater art will also be featured on Wednesday, Sept 2nd at 10AM on the slimming clothing segment on "Your Carolina show" that is shown daily on the CBS affiliate in North and South Carolina.
