The Brookesia micra, or Madagascar Miniature Chameleon, was recently discovered on an islet just off of Madagascar's main island, and is being called one of the smallest vertebrates known to man, measuring roughly half an inch in length when fully grown.
Frank Glaw, who led the team of scientists who made the discovery, stated that "there's a potential for a smaller species," and plans on returning to Madagascar this November to seek them out. "I'm sure there are many surprises awaiting discovery."

Hi, I'm interested in getting me TEFL certification and I live in Portland. I've found an institution that has a TEFL program but I want to make sure it's a good one and if it's a good deal. Then name is Oxford Seminars and the program costs $995. The classes are equivalent to six, nine-hour classes. Because this Oxford Seminar is so expensive, I was also researching the online courses which are about a third of the cost but I would prefer to take the classes in person to get the full, interactive experience. I've also heard that other certification programs are longer and give you more experience. So my main questions are, how can I find other programs in my area to get certified, how do I find out if this is a good program, and I want to know if the pricing for this class is competitive?
Thank you!

Does anyone know where I might find a 6 round mag for this FEG? I've got several 7 round for the PA63, and they fit (long), but would like a spare for the 918. I believe the mag will do either 380 or 9x18. My searches in the usual sites have come up empty
I'm looking for a six round magazine for a FEG SMC 918.
Any suggestions on locations?

This publication is an overview of the Councils stance on leadership, health care, education, employment, transportation, community supports for children and adults, and legal justice issues for people with disabilities.
To download this document in PDF format, click here.
In a democratic society, all those who wish to contribute to and participate in community life have the right to do so, regardless of personal background. Similarly, leadership is a quality and capability that can be assumed by any individual who wants to make a positive difference in the larger world. Leadership is also a collective endeavor, as individuals take meaningful action together.
People with disabilities and their family members are leaders in all aspects of society, including in their personal lives, their local communities, and at the state, national, and international levels.
Government by the people includes citizens with disabilities and their families.
Citizens with disabilities and their families desire to actively participate in decision- making processes that affect their lives.
Services and programs supporting people with disabilities are more successful when those being served have the opportunity to participate in the program's governance.
There is an increasing effort by some boards, councils, and programs to include people with disabilities in leadership roles.
Citizens with disabilities and their families continue to achieve leadership positions that influence all aspects of society, government, and business.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Leadership: The process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.
Evidence based governance: The development of policy, rules and regulations in which the underlying rationale is based upon evidence of statistically significant effectiveness through empirical research.
Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, Pub. L. No. 106-402, 114 Stat. 1677 (2000).
Adopted March, 2013
We support policies that enable all of Indiana's citizens to participate in the health care system, which will make health care more efficient and affordable for us all. Just as our power grid, phone systems, water systems, interstate highways, and the Internet have become essential to our economy and our quality of life, so too, health coverage should move from what has become the equivalent of scattered wells, individual generators and county roads to a modern and sustainable system that will keep our state and our nation strong.
Quality, affordable, accessible health care, including the right to home - and community-based options in long term care, that meets the needs and choices of all people, especially those with disabilities and chronic conditions, is an essential ingredient for participating fully in all aspects of life.
The measures and rewards used for evaluating quality health care should be aligned with health care outcomes.
A test of an effective health care system is how well it serves people with disabilities and chronic conditions.
A quality health care system focuses on wellness and includes a comprehensive array of services that addresses prevention, health, mental health, dental, vision, hearing, nutrition, rehabilitation, and other specialty needs, delivered through a primary care, medical home model.
Many people, including people with disabilities, are uninsured or underinsured. Thus, many are forced to use costly emergency room services as their primary health care resource. This is an unsustainable practice.
People with disabilities often cannot access health care services and facilities that match their specific needs or are denied services to maintain their health status.
People with disabilities often face discriminatory practices due to denial for coverage of pre-existing conditions, the use of confusing and complicated automated communication technologies, the complexity of application for eligibility process, denial for ongoing and specialized services, and complicated billing and explanation of benefits.
Many health care providers have a lack of knowledge and expertise regarding the health care needs of people with disabilities, which can make the care less efficient and less effective.
People with disabilities often have multiple providers and experience a lack of communication and coordination which potentially jeopardizes quality care.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Medical home: An approach to providing comprehensive primary care that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient's family.
Medicaid Waiver: The source of combined federal and state funding for home and community based services available to people who are eligible for long term care services under Medicaid, but choose to remain in the community.
Families USA, "Americans At Risk: One in Three Uninsured," (2009), available at http://www.familiesusa.org/assets/pdfs/americans-at-risk.pdf
Adopted May, 2012
People with disabilities have access to education and life-long learning opportunities with choices, options and supports in integrated school and community settings.
People with disabilities, like other citizens, are life-long learners. All students, including those with disabilities, require quality educational experiences in order to reach their life goals. Students with disabilities learn best in integrated settings in their neighborhood schools. Federal law mandates that the educational system serves students in response to their individual educational needs in the least restrictive environment. Students with disabilities often leave school without the skills, experiences and supports they need to live, learn, work and play as valued citizens in their communities. A high proportion of students with disabilities do not graduate high school or pursue higher education.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Least Restrictive Environment: The position that a student who has a disability should have the opportunity to be educated with non-disabled peers, to the greatest extent possible.
Transition: Services provided for students with disabilities to help make the transition from school to adulthood.
Parent Training and Information Centers: Federally funded centers that serve families of children of all ages with all disabilities; physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional.
Positive Behavior Supports (PBS): Considers what is important to the person and for the person and implements those values into a comprehensive plan to address challenging behavior. PBS focuses on valued outcomes such as teaching or strengthening skills, enhancing relationships, and increasing participation in the community.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-446, 118 Stat. 2647 (2004).
Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-134, 121 Stat. 1393 (2007).
U.S. Department of Education. High School Dropout and Completion Rates in the United States: 2007 (IES 2009-064). Washington: GPO, 2009.
People with disabilities are employed with fair and equitable wages and benefits, with access to a variety of employment options and upward mobility, and with access to appropriate accommodations and supports.
People with disabilities want economic self sufficiency in order to fully participate in the community. They possess skills that match business and community needs. People with disabilities are underemployed or unemployed at a disproportionately high rate compared to other Hoosiers. People with disabilities are more likely to be impoverished.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Vocational Rehabilitation: Services offered to individuals with cognitive or developmental disabilities that are designed to enable participants to attain skills, resources, attitudes, and expectations needed to obtain and retain employment.
School-to-Work: Programs that provide ways for students to transition successfully into the economy.

We support policies that enable all individuals to have full access to Indiana's transit system. Transit systems have a significant impact on the way a region develops, as well as on the quality of life for its residents by determining housing, employment and vital social opportunities. A universally accessible and affordable transit system is a cornerstone of a vibrant and productive society.
A transit system that incorporates freedom of movement is essential for independent living, for engaging in productive activities, and, most importantly, for full participation in the communities of one's choice.
All individuals, including people with disabilities, deserve viable options for getting from place to place to live, work and play in their community of choice.
All components of a transit system must meet the needs of all citizens in an accessible and affordable manner, just as with other public utilities including gas, water, electricity, etc.
Although some improvements have occurred significant barriers remain.
Most Indiana counties are rural and lack accessible, affordable and timely transit resources.
Even though urban communities have more transit options, challenges with accessible, affordable and timely resources remain.
Existing systems have restricted hours and days of service and lack even basic infrastructure including accessible sidewalks and bus stops.
Nowhere in Indiana are there sufficient accessible taxi services.
Transit options for traveling from city to city, and across county borders, are extremely limited, costly, and difficult to navigate and require unusually long commute times.
Air transit options are unsafe, inflexible, non-accommodating, unpredictable, and inadequate for many people with disabilities and their equipment.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Intermodal: The combination of more than one mode of transportation.
Green technology: The application of environmental science to conserve the natural environment and resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement.Paratransit: A door to door transit service provided to persons who, because of their disabilities, are unable to independently travel on the public transit system
Indiana Institute on Disability (2010). [Disability Transportation Survey].Unpublished raw data.
Board approved: July 2012
People with disabilities are full participants in their communities based on their desires and choices.
People with disabilities report their lives are better when they live in their own homes and in communities of their choosing. When supports are needed, people with disabilities prefer a wide array of options in the type, location and provider of services and supports that best meet their needs and desires. However, needed services are often cost prohibitive or simply unavailable. Available public resources are biased to institutional and facility-based care limiting choices to achieve full participation in their community. As a result many people with disabilities and their families are forced to accept unsatisfactory living conditions and to wait years for alternative options. Current community capacity to meet the increasing needs of people with disabilities who desire to live in their communities including those on waiting lists, those living with aging parents and those living in institutions is inadequate. Needed services and supports include, and are not limited to, personal attendant care, housing, transportation, community mental health, health care, recreation, employment, and spiritual.P
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Assistive technology: The use of technology to meet the needs of people with disabilities in all areas of life: education, employment, transportation and community living activities.
Medicaid Waiver: The source of combined federal and state funding for services available to clients who are eligible for Medicaid but choose to remain in the community.

People with disabilities are treated equally, fairly, respectfully, and consistently at all levels in the legal/justice system.
People with disabilities are law abiding citizens and appreciate safe communities. The treatment of people with disabilities in the Indiana legal/justice system has improved over the past decade. However people with disabilities face greater challenges with the legal system because they frequently have physical and behavioral issues with a lack of services to address their needs. Funding streams do not address dual diagnoses (mental health and developmental disabilities), especially for people in the legal/justice system. People with developmental disabilities charged with crimes can be subject to criminal laws predicated on the assumption that the person charged can be "restored" to competency to stand trial. There remain persistent concerns that incarcerated individuals do not have access to necessary medications to help them attain and retain competency.
The Council supports legislation, policy, and practices that:
Dual diagnosis: A term that refers to individuals who have both a mental health and developmental disability.
Developmental Disabilities: Used to describe life-long disabilities occurring before age 22 attributable to a mental or physical impairment or a combination of both.

Well its daily getting more obvious.The plowing up of former CRP ground.Sure we 'only'lost 330,000 acres here in SoDak but now we are seeing thats a LOT!Particularly since much of the CRP is here in the NE where I live.
Lots of ground where nesting is now over.Misguided gold fever.
Times they are a changing.If you're a hunter-changing for the worse.All hunters will suffer but especially 'walk Ins'since the number/size will go down while the pressure on the remaining acreage increases.
Sad dam deal.

So, I acquired a set of untrimmed, pretty much unopened FPv3 armor from another member here and noticed I'm missing a couple of things. I probably got them lost myself with the packing peanuts, but the cold cast resin insert for the center diamond is gone along with the covering for the chest lights. Poor diamond had nothing but the tape residue on it and the peanuts are long gone....
Not so worried about the covering for the lights as I figure I can find some kind of smoked acrylic somewhere to replace that. But the resin insert? I still have the one behind the ab plate and thought I could either try to see if I have enough there to cut it (and shape it) to make the diamond insert and still cover the hole-y triangle...
I guess I could try my hand at cold casting a new one. Thanks to "search" and Cruzer I found this:
Try www.eagerplastics.comWould that clear polyester lay-up resin and aluminum powder be what I am looking for? I don't figure it could be too hard to create the mold given the size and relative lack of complexity.
All of the pictured test pulls were achieved using their aluminum powder and *EP4101 clear polyester resin.
Or is anyone out there just dying to help a brother out by casting a copy of theirs (assuming it's not already glued in place)? Compensation would not be a question!
I just hate that I have this incredibly accurate armor and in my haste to check it out I likely lost a couple of detail pieces. :(

What does it take to make a ready-mix plant meet and exceed all required codes to make it a "clean and green" producer? Many would answer an eye for beauty, attention to detail, and thorough knowledge of the potential challenges and solutions.
Fortunately for producers in the San Francisco area, there's a women who can measure up. Lisa Ising has been an environmental services consultant to the ready-mix industry, specializing in regulatory-compliance matters.
For several years, Ising has earned the respect of the local community as the regulatory-compliance manager for San Francisco-based Bode Gravel Co. She not only helped the producer create a plant that exceeded compliance levels previously unheard of a few years ago, she continues to help them live up to those promises.
Ising specializes in only regulatory-compliance issues for her clients. "I obtain operating, air quality, stormwater, and hazardous materials permits," she says. Her responsibilities include knowing all of the rules and regulations to which her clients must conform, and finding the best way for those clients to comply.
She then must find the best ways to comply with each rule by knowing the latest equipment and best operating procedure to help a plant run cleanly and safely. It can be a daunting job, as the codes, technologies, and equipment can change rapidly.
For Bode's San Francisco plant, Ising was the point person to deal with the regulators. She faced several issues. The proposed design had to address stormwater runoff and how to contain and clean potential hazardous spills. The plant had to maintain an annual stormwater discharge permit with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Adhering to standards
Dust control and emission levels were other concerns. Bode's permit from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District required dust collector and throughput readings that must be maintained monthly. The operating permit required that ground storage of material be minimal. Bode's air quality permit was among the most restrictive in the state because the company chose to show its commitment to the community by using the best available technology.
But Ising knew the producer had gone the extra mile when she submitted Bode's Hazardous Material Business Plan to the city's Certified Unified Program Agency, the body which implements environmental programs. This was so successful, Bode was recognized as San Francisco's only city-certified "clean and green" concrete producer.
And that is where Ising's satisfaction lies. "When I can help a client meet and exceed the standards that our government has set, I have done something for my client, as well as for the communities surrounding the ready-mix plant," she says.
Bode is only one of her clients. She advises Cemex and other ready-mix companies in the Bay area. They all face the same issue: trying to provide a clean environment around their businesses. This can be a challenge. A good regulatory-compliance person guides a company to the best decisions. Ising took all the right steps with Bode and made it a shining example to others.

I've had this idea a while, and seeing the Alltrak further encourages.
Anyone know what my options would be. Dont say a subaru. Thanks!
Help and I'll post pics before/after promise.

**10/15/12 update: the van is a hardtop. i hope "weekender" was not misleading. i was just referring to the interior (jump seats, table, curtains, etc). also, a fallen branch has done some minor damage, unfortunately, including a broken windshield and a couple scrapes. negotiable price will certainly reflect this.**
very nice, all original weekender (jump seats, foldup table, z-bed, etc).
pretty incredible shape. silver with some cool side stripe/factory decal work. automatic. currently on south african 5 spokes (sunburst, i think?) but those would cost extra. available on stock carats or audi alloys for no extra cost.
located in south jersey, about 35 minutes southeast of the walt whitman bridge. registered and insured.
other vans (90 carat, 85 4 speed) and extras (side tent, gowesty hitch, roofrack, south african grill for the right price) available.
2850 obo. PM me. thanks.

I have a friend who creates wonderful worlds in her imagination and makes surrealistic oil and watercolor paintings of them. There are fantasy creatures, magic, illusions and magnificent ancient buildings, and lots of small details to interpret. My friend's paintings are like dreams one sees at night. To capture a dream... it was always what I wanted to do myself and wasn't able to.
I've been a reader of Lubov's blog for a long time. I love her paintings, her bizarre worlds, her captured dreams. And it was very sad to see such a talented person depressed and lacking faith in herself. She thought nobody needed her art, nobody cared for it, nobody wanted it. Then I came with an idea to upload scans of her paintings to Dreamstime, so they can be bought and travel...
I learned that photos and drawings can be sold through the Internet somehow about 8 years ago (I was 17 years old), don't recall any agencies of that time though. I tried my luck in microstock as soon as I managed to buy my first camera (I was 20 at the moment). I don't really remember what's my first agency was but it was not DT, I'm sure. My camera was a very simple and cheap one and photos appeared to be far from good quality, none were accepted. So I gave up and forgot about the idea I liked so much.
I became interested in microstock again when I began to draw (I'm a very late beginner, was about 20 or 21 when started), but a dream remained a dream until all pieces of the puzzle joined together. It took time...
First, I thought I drew so bad that I was shy to merely show...
My portfolio has grown up again. Now it contains 500 images. A great number and a big milestone for me.
Most of these 500 are drawings or collages, and only 56 are photos. Sales are about 70% of portfolio (according to statistics). Not bad, I think)
For me, people are really hard to draw. I'm no professional artist, just a mere amateur. Drawing people is a great challenge for me. I often fail, seldom succeed in it. I usually notice myself trying to avoid people in new picture's composition. Possibility of failure frightens me off.
And now here comes time I'll have to face the problem... I'm on the way to publish my book, the Omnis Trilogy. Having ho money to pay the professional artist I must draw all three covers myself. I managed to avoid drawing people for the first part's cover and drew a curious little dragon instead (that's how the cover looks) , but that will not work with the others.
Cartoonish people...
Did you know most pets are cannibals? They are. I learned that while working at the pet shop. For some reason animals do not think eating others of their own species to be a crime.
When I hear someone say about how bad humans are I always remind of a cute pets at the shop. We, humans, are not so bad as we think, really :) At least we try to become better.
Recently I made my first Photoshop tutorial. It is about a simple way of turning sketches into paintings.
Take a look how simple pencil drawing became a magical spider tree :) Have fun)
From sketch to painting
You know, sometimes I read of the new generation people or meet them myself - people that had never seen a floppy disc. They ask: "What's that square on the Save button?"
I feel old. Ancient even)))
By this moment I have 242 sales, which include different types of images. There are some facts I've found...
1. Artistic pictures like these above that took a great deal of time usually sell very bad (and mostly - by subscription) or don't sell at all. This is a biggest disappointment, to be sure. But there are two exceptions that brought me 21$ and 18$ when others - zero or usually 0.42$
2. Sketches sell surprisingly well, even when their colored variants have no sales at all.
3. Borders and frames sell well if hand drawn and don't sell at all if they are collage or vector
4. Crayon drawings (I have few of them) sell...
There are lots of Russian-speaking people there. It would be wonderful if they had a place to gather and to discuss photo- and art-related questions in their native language. So we started a forum yesterday:
There are 6 people there for that very moment, so everyone is welcome.
I'm mostly an illustrator and have many pencil drawings in my portfolio. They have very different subjects: from fantasy dragons to common landscapes, but it's curious that often they (despite they variety) used to be found by the same keyword - sketch - and bought then. Just a peice of advice for fellow illustrators: if you have pencil drawings in your portfolio, don't forget to add the keyword "sketch" to all of them, this simple action will bring you many sales.

Locked Out of the House Classics
Locked Out of the House Classics was a two-record Muggle album released by Chode Records that presumably featured songs about accidentally locking oneself out of one's house. Among the songs it included were the smash hits "I Should Have Remembered My Keys," "No No No Nooo!" and "I Hope Jazzelle Is In."[1]
The Muggles who owned the house in Budleigh Babberton where Horace Slughorn stayed while trying to evade Death Eaters in 1996 had a copy of it.[1]

19,000 miles to the 'End of the World'
May 27, 2012
When you attempt and accomplish a great challenge or adventure, naturally you get a lot of people asking about it. I expected some of the questions: "Did you have fun?" "How did you get the time away from work?" "What was your favorite place?"
But the one that has bothered me has been the most common: "How was it?"
How do you begin to describe a 19,000-mile motorcycle ride from Denver to Tierra Del Fuego, the archipelago south of the southernmost tip of the South American mainland? How can you describe six and a half months, 14 countries, 24 border crossings and 19,000 miles of experiences without writing a book?
My mind contains every experience of every second from the time I left Denver to the time I returned. How do I compress that into a short conversation? And more importantly, am I even the same person I was when I departed Denver nearly eight months ago?
I realize most people want a short version: "It was great!" But the honest truth is that I find it tremendously difficult to relate to people that what we were doing was not a vacation. It was a life changing adventure.
Nineteen thousand miles is literally hundreds of gas stations. My brother and I rode BMW adventure bikes, used on our previous trip: Me a BMW F650 GS Dakar, him, a BMW F800GS. Both bikes were outfitted with Jessie Luggage bags and other modifications. Our partner, Todd, rode a Kawasaki KLR 650. All have similiar 4.5 gallon gas tanks and approximately a 200 mile range. In some areas we had to carry extra gas to make it between outposts. These bikes are smaller than the R1200 GS adventures that many riders choose, with 12-gallon tanks and a huge range. Our gas mileage was around 50 mpg. The bikes weigh approximately 400 pounds dry and probably 500 pounds loaded.
A trip like this is composed of thousands of thoughts, vistas and roads, all fleeting and never to be remembered or seen again. To capture a few photos seems insignificant in the face of this huge mountain of experience. So many views that none of my friends will never see. Memories impressed upon me forever. Even as a photographer, taking photos, I sometimes feel I have no way to really share these things.
How many towns, cities and crossroads have I passed through? How many rainstorms weathered? How many shitty hostels and hotels? How many nights out under the stars? How many passes have I climbed and life or death decisions made? How many houses have I passed? How much traffic have I seen?
How many people have I met? How many times have I had THE conversation with a stranger: "How big is your bike, how much did it cost, where are you from, where are you going?" How many meals shared with strangers and teammates?
How many dogs, cats, pigs, bulls, cows, alpacas, llamas, emus, sheep, goats, ducks, geese, chickens, roosters, ninos, peddlers, mice, rats, birds and oxen have I passed? How many have I seen dead on the side of the road?
It's easy to count the miles, but each mile is an experience, and one that I most likely did not record. How many speedbumps, topes and rumbles have I crossed? How many rivers? Cars passed? How many times have I stopped for a quick snack at an abarrottes, a chance to get off the bike momentarily? How many tiendas, miscellaneas, grifos, gasolinerias, soda or fonda? How many bottles of water and cups of coffee drunk? How many different kinds of beer and how many different ways to prepare chicken? How many places I wanted to stop but could or did not?
How many rotations through the playlist on my iPod? How many times glancing down at the speedometer? Thousands? More? How many times swinging my tired legs over the bike? How many curves to brake into and accelerate out of? How many quick stops and swerves to avoid sudden death? How many times have I ridden at night to find a place to stay in a new and strange place? How many parts broken, repaired or replaced? How many rotations of my wheels? How many rotations of my crankshaft?
How many times have I been cold, wet, tired, hungry, sore, crashed, hot, sweating or dehydrated? How many cold showers? Or no shower? How many times packing my gear the same way? How many times carrying it all into a new place, so that it would not be stolen off the bike, then going to look for a bite to eat and a beer? How many times camping with little food? How many traffic lights, cops, stops for landslides or roadwork? How many skipped signs and ignored laws? How many bars and restaurants passed? How many rocks in the road? How many weeks above 12,000 feet? And very rarely going the same way twice.
And how many wondrous things? Mountains sharp and swirled with clouds. Sunlit patches of lush fields. Lonely houses in distant pastures. Swaths of flowers on surreal hillsides. Deep blue seas, tumbling rivers in impossible gorges. Immense silence broken only by our roaring motors. Roads hanging from the steepest slopes and running straight for unimaginable distances. Terraced pasture and paddy rising dizzyingly around you, waves breaking on rocky shores, and sunsets that simply cannot be described. How many hours in the saddle simply riding through the unbelievable Patagonia? How many campsites found hidden off the side of a side road? Soaring waterfalls, cliffs plunging away down to churning rivers, cable bridges, dark tunnels. Swamp, moor, forest, field, tundra, city, town, suburb, seaside and country. All of this and more is how it was.
Nishan Nalbandian recently completed a six-month, 19,000-mile motorcycle trip called 'Ride to the End of the World' with two other teammates. They rode from Denver to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. This is Nalbandian's second epic mototrip. You can find out more at http://www.mototrip.org.

10 Things I Hate About Motherhood and One That I Love
Since I promised that I'd post more pictures of Metro Kidz, I figured this was as good a time as any for that. In celebration of my Metro Kidz collage winning first place, here they are:
And now I'm off to the Beth Moore conference. And i don't know anyone else who is going (besides through blogs . . . ) which, yikes, makes me feel sick to my tummy a little. I hate feeling so insecure. Which is ironic, since that's the topic Beth's talking about today.


text: In 2004 the Original Dance (remember that kids) was the Swing, Jive combination and it was a joy to watch. Every team had zoot suits, twirly skirts, and big smiles, the music was fun, different, and fast paced. Every team had a great program, and and the best part was that they were all different. There was not a boring program in the bunch, and what was better was that I actually stayed to watch all of the teams and through that I discovered the Kerrs who I still enjoy watching to this day. My question is, Why isn't there more Swing and Jive in ice dancing, why most we always go back to the same lating rhytham, and waltz type dances, what was worse was the folk. Swing dancing shows off partner cohession, unison and lift skill, plus the ability of the dancer to keep up with the fast pace tempo of the music and program. I would like to start a campaign let us put the SWING back in ice dancing!!!!

Just a few hundred yards from Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's previous home Highbury continues to undergo its transformation from football stadium to luxury apartments.
Due for completion next year, the stunning Highbury Square re-development is certainly taking shape, and as you can see from the pictures, many of the traditional elements of the building have been preserved.
The matchday programme caught up with Acting Managing Director Ken Friar OBE for the latest on the development.
Q. How is the redevelopment at Highbury Square progressing?
A. Very well. The development is being executed in phases and our contractors, Sir Robert McAlpine, are on time or ahead of schedule with each of the phases. What I find amazing is even though the old stadium is transforming into apartments at a rapid pace now, it still feels like the old Highbury. You can envisage the pitch and the stands and it brings back such fond memories. A real sense of history remains there.
Q. When is the development due for completion?
A. The summer of 2009 is when Highbury Square will be fully complete but as with any major development of this scale, we have phased handovers of finished units from now through to the end of the construction works. The first and second phases of finished units, 136 apartments in total, have now been handed over to us by Sir Robert McAlpine and we already have over 90 purchasers completed. In fact, some residents have already moved in to their apartments in the South Stand, the site of the old Clock End.
Q. How many apartments have been sold?
A. There are a total of 680 apartments in the development of which 655 apartments have been marketed so far. Of these, 598 have already been presold, which represents over 90 per cent of the development, a figure that we are obviously extremely pleased with. As mentioned, over 90 purchasers have completed so far, generating some £39 million of sales income.
A completed apartment
Q. That sounds promising. How does the Board envisage using the profit made from the sale of Highbury Square?
A. The financials for the Highbury Square development have been ring-fenced so they are separate from our usual football business. As such we have not budgeted for the profit and this allows the Board to be flexible over its use as the money has not been earmarked for anything in particular. In that sense it will be a bonus. We have options available to us, for example, profits could be used to reduce the stadium debt or to strengthen the team if the manager wishes.
Q. There has been some suggestion that a significant number of purchasers have pulled out of the development. Is this true and if so, why do you think that is the case?
A. Absolutely not, this is completely untrue. To date, we have had just two purchasers who, due to personal circumstances, had to pull out and both of these were over six months ago. As it stands, we believe that we continue to outperform the market and indeed a recent independent valuation by Colleys concluded that all of the Highbury Square apartments have exceeded the prices contracted to be paid for them. However, we are not complacent or short-sighted about the current economic climate and with this in mind, we have enlisted the support of Savills Private Finance to assist purchasers in achieving finance where they require it.
Q.What are the long-term prospects for the Highbury Square development?
A. Property that has unique qualities, by virtue of location and character, always maintains its value relative to the market and is always the first to realise an increase in value. This is definitely the case with Highbury Square, which is in an excellent location, in terms of connections in and out of central London. The development also captures the history and character of Highbury Stadium with the East and West Stand facades retained and the pitch constructed into a private two-acre garden for residents which, we believe, is the largest private London Square to have been built this century. In addition, Highbury and Islington as a whole is a highly desirable location for purchasers and tenants alike, so we believe the future prospects for Highbury Square are very positive.
Q.What type of properties are still for sale?
A. There are only 57 units which are unsold and these are a mix of one and two bedroom apartments.
Q. How will you feel once the development is complete?
A. It will offer a tremendously unique place to live for all those who have bought an apartment there and in that sense it will be truly exciting. To live in a home in the 'home of football' gives it added sparkle but for me personally, it will close an eventful chapter of my life.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Top-seeded and host Nazareth outscored third-seeded Ithaca 4-0 in the fourth quarter Saturday to rally past the Bombers for a 12-10 men's lacrosse victory in the championship game of the Empire 8 Conference Tournament. The Golden Flyers captured their eighth E8 title with their eighth straight victory to gain an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Tournament pairings will be announced Sunday, but the Golden Flyers gained entry into the 29-team field for the 20th time in their history. Nazareth is 14-4 overall, while Ithaca dropped to 12-6.
Nazareth freshman Luke Wooters scored a career-best seven goals and added an assist to earn tournamrnt MVP honors. He now has 59 goals on the season, breaking Nazareth's single-season mark of 57 set by Neal Powless in 1995.
Wooters was joined on the all-tournament team by junior midfielder Chris Aycock, who contributed two goals; freshman attackman Troy Haefele, who had a goal and an assist; and junior defenseman Mark Pinski. Ithaca was represented by sophomore attackman James Manilla, junior midfielder Ryan Burns and freshman goalie Scott Sidnam.
Trailing 10-8 through 45 minutes of play, Nazareth closed within one with 9:08 left as Matt McDermott scored for just the second time this season. Three minutes later, Troy Haefele converted a man-up opportunity for his team-leading 13th extra-man goal of the season to tie the score at 10-10.
Just 14 seconds after that, Wooters netted the game-winner, an unassisted tally for his 59th goal. Aycock added an insurance goal with 3:20 left, then Nazareth was able to hold the Bombers without a shot the rest of the way with the assistance of two Ithaca penalties.
Ithaca took an early lead on goals by Pat Slawta and Manilla, but sophomore Drew Simoneau scored just seven seconds after Manilla to put Nazareth on the board. Wooters' first goal of the day came with just :01 left in the first period and tied the score at 2-2. Wooters added two more goals to start the second quarter to push Nazareth in front 4-2.
A four-goal flurry by the Bombers enabled Ithaca to regain the lead at 6-4 before Aycock netted an unassisted score with just :04 left before halftime to make the score 6-5 at the break.
The teams exchanged scores in the third quarter before goals by Manilla and Connor Lowe enabled the Bombers to regain their two-goal cushion to start the fourth quarter.
Nazareth had advantages in shots (39-31) and ground balls (42-26) and Nazareth won 13 of 25 face-offs, including 13 of 23 for Simoneau, who had 11 more ground balls to run his season total to 208. Junior defenseman Jerry Chasteen had five ground balls and three caused turnovers. Each goalie had eight saves -- Sidnam for Ithaca and Scott Brown for Nazareth.

Arsène Wenger is still targeting all four competitions.
Arsenal are the only English side who can win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup. But games are stacking up fast and, as the manager admits, rotation is essential.
The Frenchman takes his side to Leeds on Wednesday in an FA Cup Third Round replay. Next week, they will have to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Ipswich if they are to reach the Carling Cup Final.
The top of the Premier League is tight too. Arsenal kept pace with a 3-0 win at West Ham on Saturday and afterwards the Frenchman suggested his aims remained four-fold.
"I will go for it," he said, "but we will have to rotate.
"Our success depends on the way the whole squad can focus on the different competitions. I believe we have the quality to qualify no matter what I do on Wednesday. It's just how much we are able to focus on the competition.
"The timing is not the best but it is down to us because we could have beaten Leeds at home. We didn't manage to do that but now there's no reason why we should give up.
"I will prepare [for] this game to win it then we will see. It is important we go there with a positive attitude."
Wenger added that Tomas Rosicky is likely to be back after missing the game at Upton Park.
"He will be OK," said Wenger. "He was sick but had normal training on Saturday. He should be OK for Wednesday."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Student Loan Access
Federal financial aid programs are the single largest source of student aid in the United States, and the Drug Policy Alliance is committed to making sure students with drug convictions get their shot at a quality education. We are working to repeal the Souder amendment to the Higher Education Act, which denies young people convicted on drug charges access to federal financial aid.
The Souder amendment is discriminatory and counterproductive. It exclusively punishes students from low- and middle-income backgrounds, and it has disproportionately affected young people of color, who face discriminatory drug law enforcement and, subsequently, higher arrest and conviction rates.
Barriers to education are not the answer to youth drug use, and DPA is working to ensure that no student is denied educational aid because of a drug conviction.

First, has anyone gone through i-to-i ( http://www.i-to-i.com/paid-jobs-abroad/) for their first TEFL job ? They seem fairly confident in being able to get you a job. My preference would be a ESL job in Spain, but I'm not too sure how difficult it will be without assistance.
As for my qualifications: I have bachelors degree from the University of Florida, No TEFL Certificate, but it shouldn't be too hard in getting one, and I'll have a full-year of experience in a consulting firm before I leave.

When we look at our Technographics data on mobile banking adoption by bank, it's clear that some banks are doing much better than others. Why?

I was in the US this week, visiting our headquarters in Cambridge, and the topic of loyalty cards and loyalty programs came up. I live in the Netherlands, and although there are plenty of loyalty programs to subscribe to, the benefits aren't any way near what you get from loyalty programs in the US. Because of that, I normally base my travel choices more on convenience and price than on the hotel chain or airline. But our North American Technographics® Travel And Auto Online Benchmark Recontact Survey, Q3 2012 (US) shows that this is different for US travelers.
US hotel travelers clearly see the benefit of subscribing to a loyalty program for the hotels they visit regularly. In fact, our data shows that about 40% of US online leisure hotel travelers belong to at least one hotel loyalty program. And those who belong to a hotel loyalty program are 10 percentage points more likely to recommend a hotel than leisure hotel travelers who are not part of a loyalty program.
However, the majority of leisure travelers who belong to a loyalty program are Gen X; younger travelers account for only a quarter of current loyalty program subscribers. Hoteliers who want to benefit from social sharing and recommendations should tap the potential of their loyal younger customers in particular.

At this time of the year, many people make resolutions — and many of these are health-related: quit smoking, exercise more, or eat healthier. As anyone who has ever made one of these resolutions knows, it's really hard to make a change. But there's plenty of technology out there that can help track your progress and give you a bit of support.
Forrester's Technographics® data shows that about one-third of US online smartphone owners use their phone for healthcare-related activities, ranging from tracking what they eat to text alerts about medication:
However, using technology to track your health hasn't reached the mainstream yet. In fact, many consumers don't consider this to be very appealing. Recently, my colleague Lindsey Colella hosted a project in Forrester's market research online community to better understand the relationship between technology and health. In her report 'Digital Health Management Needs A Makeover To Broaden Its Consumer Appeal', she shows that the average consumer is skeptical about health-tracking technologies. Our respondents believe that using technology to track your health is either for people with a chronic disease or people who are obsessed with their health. Most of them prefer to rely on their doctor for guidance instead.

Derry considers new weapons in war on noxious weeds
By Adam Swift
Union Leader correspondent | June 16. 2013 7:49PM
As the Conservation Commission has made efforts to remove these invasive species from town conservation properties, most noticeably the Shepard property, it has also turned its sights to ways to contain them town-wide.
"My first thought is that it would be wise to have someone who is a town employee be licensed," said Arruda. "It does not appear to be a major stumbling block to get a license. It's when do we get it and who gets it."
"People shouldn't cut it with a rotary lawnmower," he said. "All they are doing is spreading it."
Commission member Paul Dionne said he is also checking into an organic product from Canada that can be used to eradicate the knotweed without the need for a pesticide application license.
Commission Chairman Margaret Ives said they should find out how much the organic product costs as well as talk to Fowler about public works commitment to controlling the invasive species.

Nathalie Mauclair
"I'm always trying to improve, to stay fit and to make sure I'm ready for the next race."
the way to the top
Through the rain, into the wind and over mountain passes. Trail runners never stop pushing and will keep running no matter how bad the weather conditions.
Nathalie Mauclair is a multi-winning trail running champion. She is an example of excellence and determination. She embodies the same values and ambitions as Mizuno – always striving for the absolute best. But it hasn't always been like this: "I didn't grow up in a sporty family, it wasn't until I was older that I discovered my passion for running." Although the road to success hasn't always been easy for Nathalie, her unbroken optimism kept her going: "In 2002 I had a bad fall and fractured a vertebra. I was immobilised for 3 months and it took me a while to get back to running. It wasn't until my friends told me that I needed to start running again that I began training. I knew that I still had so much more to give and I believed I could still win."
After this setback, Nathalie trained hard and pushed herself further to become the French marathon champion in 2010. But it was trail running that finally captured her heart: "I loved to go out and get lost in the countryside and this is where it began for me." However, it takes more than just a passion for the outdoors to become a multi-winning trail champion: "I decided to change my lifestyle and structure my training. It wasn't long before I started to achieve results. I was the Trail World Champion in 2013 and 2015. It took a while for me to realise what this meant. At first it just felt like I had won a race. Later I understood just how important this achievement was. It was the result of all the hard work and dedication I put into my trail running."
Even after all her great achievements, Nathalie Mauclair will not settle. Her next ambition: to achieve a new personal best at this year's "La Saintélyon".
With more than 60 editions the French mountain course has become a MUST event for European trail runners. Taking place in December the epic route starts from the peak of Saint Etienne and finishes in the mountains of Lyon.
The Saintélyon is 72 kilometers long and is a combination of trail and road. The race is a real adventure and a chance for elite runners like Nathalie Mauclair to go out and improve their performance. This is another opportunity for Mizuno to partner with the running community and help promote sport among people who are passionate about adventure.
Nathalie Mauclair is prepared to face this upcoming challenge: "My life is always on the move so making time for training is essential. I train all week; I bike, I swim, I run. I'm always trying to improve, to stay fit and to make sure I'm ready for the next race."
Nathalie Mauclair never stops pushing.


text: Assuming you are aware of the safety procedures, and your handgun is for self defense/target practice/plinking, etc. Don't do what I see so many handgunners doing with a handgun. Shooting targets at 75 feet to start. Keep your target close. Start at the 7 yard line. I shoot from 20-25 feet. Then move out to 35 feet and finally 50 feet. Oh sure, some will say they can hit a quarter at 100 feet...BS! For handguns I think 75 feet is a good max distance.

text: MTA Annual Meeting opens in Boston The 166th Annual Meeting of Delegates was called to order after noon May 13 in the Hynes Auditorium. "I come before you as a middle school teacher, a union leader and the parent of two children enrolled in the Cambridge Public Schools," said Paul Toner, leading his first meeting as MTA president. MTA Pres. Paul Toner presides at the 166th Annual Meeting of Delegates. "The three roles together form the prism through which I look when making decisions that affect MTA members and the students we educate. Helping Grace and Jack get ready for school every day serves as a powerful reminder to me that our future as educators is tied to our future as union members." "We must be doing something right here in Massachusetts," Toner continued. "We are one of the most highly unionized states in the country, and we continue to be number one in student achievement! Those two facts go hand-in-hand. We need to remind people of that every time they try to make the claim that unions hurt quality education. We have quality schools for many reasons, including a relatively well-educated population and high standards for students and teachers. We also got here because we as a profession are willing to innovate and change with the changing times." Toner's remarks came as part of three leadership addresses that followed the showing of a MTA-produced video, Members in Action, with highlights of the year. (The video will be soon on our YouTube channel.) "The accomplishments have been significant, starting with defeating Question 3 – the sales tax cut – just two years after we defeated Question 1, the initiative to eliminate the income tax," said MTA Vice President Tim Sullivan. "I urge you all to stick around to join us and our allies for a Rally for our Commonwealth at 4 p.m. on Saturday after the close of business tomorrow." Delegates also heard from NEA Pres. Dennis Van Roekel, who has logged many miles this spring visiting states where unionism and public employees are under attack. His message: "We are not going away and they will not silence the voice of the American labor movement!" Speaking about a policy statement on educator evaluation that was approved this week by the NEA Board of Directors, Van Roekel said, "We have to take charge of our own profession. It's about evaluation, tenure, due process and accountablilty."

What's New Wednesday: May 15
Here's what our product maven Amber has her eye on this week:
Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee
Like all things Josie, this cheek color feels like a sheer treat for your skin. The shades range from perky to peachy and build to your ideal flush. The coconut infusion provides refreshing moisture to your cheeks and if it's anything like my addiction to coconut water, this blush will be living in my purse full-time.
Anything that minimizes how much time I spend on my hair is greatly appreciated—I'm just not patient enough to keep things traditionally tamed. This lightweight serum gives me a manageable mane in one pump, keeping flyaways down and turning the shine factor up. All this hair goodness—fuss-free!
Glitter has always caught my attention—special events, dance parties, and holidays are always shimmer heavy. These days I also keep a lookout for formulas that give me sparkle without the costume effect. This satiny shadow goes on creamy and dries to a glinting powder with smooth wear. I particularly like Space Cowboy, a champagne hue just right for a dreamy daytime.
What new products have caught your fancy? Show & Tell in the comments!
Shop what's new> See what's new: http://seph.me/13cr5Ez
The Cheek Gelee caught my eye! I'm interested in seeing swatches.
And The New MUFE shades in the Aqua Rouge Lipsticks have got my attention the New Coral Color looks amazing and it's just my cup of tea! But I'm hesitant to buy cause i don't know how i will like the formulation of it.
The Satin Hair Serum is excellent! No oils or silicones, which is really unique for a hair serum! Love!
I just added the Living Proof Hair Serum to my Shopping List. I need that!
I'm going to be watching for reviews of the Fresh Sugar Shine Lip Treatment. I'm a sucker for lip treatments and love the Fresh lip products!
I am really curious about Clinique nail polishes. I usually enjoy their products, so it would be interesting to see how their nail polishes compare to the like of OPI, Zoya, Butter london, etc.
@arielaaaa - I'm intrigued too. There was one photo of a couple of swatches in the reviews, but I want to get my hands on a few so we can swatch them here. I feel the same way about the MUFE product, sometimes those long last things are drying. Looks like I'm just going to have to try it.
@makeupmaven - If it's good enough for Jennifer Aniston, it's good enough for me! Lol.
@consolvo - I'm REALLY interested in that. I love everything Fresh, especially the lip treatments. I think I might need that.
I'm really intrigued by the Fresh lip treatment, too!
I scooped up the MUFE Aqua Rouge #18 Coral last week at Sephora and I must say I love it, I do feel the application would be smoother if the lip stain part of it was also a brush but I found if I let it
dry and then apply second coat it looks fine.
@lolo01- Love it!
@beautylovingirl-- thanks doll
@candacebt--- It does stay on all day, you do have to reapply gloss but as for the color stain I have a hard time removing it. I use my cleansing water to take it off.
Great finds this week! I would really love to try all of them. I saw the cheek Gelee a few weeks ago and I really would like to try it. They didn't have it in stores at the time I first noticed them, but maybe they'll have them now. The hair serum sounds awesome too!
That Josie Maran blush looks pretty cool. I have the Josie maran color stick in petal pink and its one of my must have items! I want to try the new OCC concealer and I've had my eye on the NARS and Guerlain bronzers for the longest time.
@lolo01 - I'm definitely going to have to try that. I've been looking for a good long wear lip color.
@colorobsession - Living Proof makes really great products. And my hair gets super frizzy in the summer so I'm interested in trying this too!
@sephoramusthave - I have a NARS bronzer and I love it, even though there's only so "bronze" I can get, lol. I've had a Guerlain bronzer on my shopping list forever, and I'm SUPER interested in that OCC concealer! I need to figure out what my shade would be though, it looks like I might fall in between a couple of different ones...
The Guerlain bronzer comes in sooooo many different shades that its kinda overwhelming. Right now I have fair winter so I'm leaning towards the 00 shade because it looks like it would be good for adding colors all over my face, but I don't know if it would be tan enough for just plain contouring. And summer is just around the corner and because I live in the blazing hot south, I tan quite easily. But, I wear sunscreen on my face everyday so the color of my face is always 2 shades lighter than the colors of my arms, which are always exposed and seem to have a tan year round.
I have my eyes on the Alterna CC cream, but I don't think I need another hair product... but I do WANT another hair product
So many! I really want to try the new corrective shade of the NARS Concealer (Pear), but it has been out of stock at the two stores I have visited. There are a few new shades of the UD 24/7 eyeliners (I'm happy that UD made Whiskey permanent! I fell in love with it when it was part of the duo that came with the UD Naked Palette) that I want to own, and I think I also need the new NARS lipstick in Tolède.
