Tali Buchler brings something fresh to the Sharpie blog today as she demonstrates her favorite way to uncap directly onto and into the pages of the encyclopedia.
The Sharpie Squad's own Tali Buchler, creative genius behind Growing Up Creative, adds her own twist to the powerhouse of all publications- the collection of text containing every piece of information one could want/need to know. Clearly though, Tali has found something that the editors have left out and she intends to correct them…
A new reason to open an encyclopedia…
Used objects and discarded items (or what some may call -trash), always spark my imagination. Transforming an object – giving it a new life and purpose is something I like to do. In the past, I have used discarded magazines in designing a temporary space for a fashion show in an installation called – Read.
My new "thing" is collecting encyclopedia books that people have been throwing away. I started folding the books and turning them into sculptural objects. I'm not sure where this will end, still a work in progress…
In my blogs I have started a series of tutorials called "Eco kids craft" where I use design ideas and craft techniques to encourage recycling creativity and creating with "whatever you have".
Recently, I had my family over (my brother calls it/ us "the tribe"); a total of 8 kids – enough to start a preschool! It was so hot that day, we couldn't go outside. After a while, I started hearing the "I am bored" song coming from all different directions… Quick thinking made me pull out some of the many encyclopedia books I have been accumulating, one per child, and our big box of Sharpie Markers.
My instructions where very clear: DO AS YOU LIKE!
Before I knew it and without any planning, something magnificent happened: the kids were absorbed, looking through the pages of an encyclopedia, reading and admiring the black and white images.
I gave them the OK to cut and draw as much as they wanted. So they did. And so did I.
We used all kinds of Sharpie Markers! Sometimes we drew together, and sometimes each one on his own. My favorite thing to do was using the Fine Point Sharpie Marker to layer different colors in across hatch pattern. These Sharpie markers were perfect for that because of their translucent yet brilliant quality.
To do this at home, you will need:
- An old encyclopedia (you can find it at your parents house or at a second hand store)
- Sharpie Markers
- Scissors
- Glue stick
How to:
- Flip through the pages
- Find an image you like
- Start to color the image
- Work in layers, it helps create depth and richness to the drawing (try and think like an impressionist)
- Add details to transform the image into something new. Even add notes!

Sometimes it feels safer to be incognito when you're searching and looking at other JDater's profiles. Turning this on makes it so that others will not know you've looked at their profile until you actually contact them. Please note that this does not make your profile invisible, as members can see you if they look at their past searches, Match emails, or if they perform a keyword or photo gallery search. This ensures that a potential beshert can still find you!
To show or hide the appearance of your profile in certain sections of the site, visit the Profile Display Settings page, or follow these steps:
1. Click on your Profile thumbnail in the top right of any page
2. Click on the Account Settings link

• The early bird gets the worm… or the match. The faster you complete your profile, the faster you'll be noticed by other JDate members. But that doesn't mean you should be hasty. Think about your answers, so that you're providing the best and most genuine "self-portrait."
• From our experience, we've seen that members who complete their profiles quickly and thoroughly are more successful in their online dating journey.
• And don't forget your photos. Profiles with photos, especially multiple photos, are 10x's more likely to attract eyes… and matches!

At JDate, your safety and security is our concern! We want you to feel completely confident during your Jewish dating journey, so please see our online safety tips page to make sure you're armed with the best advice. Here are our top tips:
1. Avoid sending any personal information to members, including passwords, personal email addresses or your physical address.
2. Never send money, regardless of how nicely someone asks. If someone does ask you for money, please contact our Customer Service team immediately at 1-877-453-3861.
3. The same goes for any suspicious activity or scams. Don't hesitate to report odd behavior to our Customer Service team at 1-877-453-3861.
4. Make sure you're aware of long distance charges before you communicate by phone.
5. Trust your instincts! If you haven't met your match in person after a month of online communication, he/she may be a "fake" and it's time to redirect your attention.
6. Your first offline date should be in a public place. Arrange your own transportation and let your friends and/or family know your plans.
AllAccess is a premium subscription feature that allows you to communicate with any member on JDate, regardless of their subscription status. Without AllAccess you are only allowed to communicate directly with other subscribers, but with AllAccess you can send messages and chat via instant messenger with the whole JDate community.
Here's how it works:
Whenever you send a message, you will have the option to send it as an AllAccess message or a standard message by checking the specified box. If you check the box and send it as an AllAccess message, we allow both subscriber and non-paying members to read and send a reply. We also guarantee it will be read or it won't count against your monthly allotment.
In addition, with an AllAccess subscription, you can unlock the ability to initiate a chat (instant message) session with any JDate member. When you purchase an AllAccess subscription, you'll receive 10 AllAccess messages a month for the given subscription term. Should you need more than 10 AllAccess messages in a given month, you may purchase an add-on message package. Unused AllAccess messages will roll over month to month.
The real difference is communication. You can, however, register for free and start browsing JDate's Jewish singles right away! With a free membership, here's what else you can do:
1. Post your own profile with up to 12 photos
2. Search the database filled with tens of thousands of Jewish singles
3. Send "Flirts"
4. Receive your Matches
5. See who has viewed your profile
6. Use our "Secret Admirer" game to show a member that he or she has caught your eye
7. Read and reply to AllAccess messages/Chats from members
8. Submit and answer questions in JDate's Kibitz Corner
A paid subscription on JDate however, will give you more ways to enjoy your online Jewish dating experience to reap the results you want.
As a paid subscriber you will be able to:
1. Send and receive messages with other subscribers
2. Start a live Chat via Instant Message
You can also benefit from premium features like:
Spotlight Profile: Your Spotlight Profile appears at the top of the JDate page based on criteria you set, ensuring that Jewish men or women in your preferred age range and location can see you.
Highlight Profile: With an eye-catching Highlight Profile border, your JDate profile will really stand out! You'll shine brighter in search results, matches and in the JDate photo gallery.
In addition to the free membership and the paid subscriptions, the AllAccess add-on allows you to:
1. Send AllAccess messages to any and all JDate members
2. Chat via Instant Messaging with any and all JDate members

Four Myths About Diabetes
Myth #1: Diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar.
FALSE. Diabetes is not caused by eating too much sugar. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas completely stops making any insulin, a hormone that helps the body to use glucose (sugar) found in foods for energy. The exact cause or causes of type 1 diabetes isn't known, but researchers suspect environmental factors, viruses or genetics play a role. What is known is that eating too many sweets doesn't cause diabetes!
Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, results when the body doesn't produce enough insulin and/or is unable to use insulin properly (this is also referred to as 'insulin resistance'). This form of diabetes usually occurs in people who are over 40 years of age, overweight, and have a family history of diabetes, although today it is increasingly occurring in younger people.
Myth #2: Taking insulin means you have "failed."
FALSE. If you have type 1 diabetes, you must take insulin to survive once you've been diagnosed—there is no other treatment for the disease.
People with type 2 diabetes may initially be able to manage their diabetes with a combination of healthy eating and physical activity. Many people start on oral diabetes medication when they are first diagnosed, and eventually, most people will need to go on insulin. This is because diabetes changes over time. If you have type 2 diabetes, starting insulin doesn't mean you've done a bad job—just the opposite, in fact! Starting on insulin will help you to better manage your diabetes which, in turn, lowers your risk of developing complications.
Myth #3: If you have diabetes, you can't lead an active lifestyle.
FALSE. This myth is particularly problematic because many long-term studies have shown the positive impact regular physical activity has on lowering glucose. Naturally, any physical fitness program needs to be approved by your diabetes care team prior to starting, but once you've settled into a program, being active and healthy with diabetes is absolutely possible and is definitely encouraged!
If you have any complications, such as heart disease, retinopathy (eye disease) or neuropathy (pain or loss of sensation in your feet), talk with your provider before you start any kind of exercise program. You may need special tests to make sure it's safe for you to exercise. Ask your provider for a referral to an exercise physiologist or qualified exercise trainer for suggestions on types of exercise that are best for you. If you've never been very active, start slow. Walking and yoga are great ways to ease into an activity program. For more on Diabetes and Yoga, click here.
Myth #4: Injecting insulin is painful.
FALSE. If you take insulin injections, it doesn't have to hurt. In fact, it shouldn't hurt! Practice good injection technique and the experience will be virtually painless. If you inject insulin with syringes, Andrea Penney, RN, CDE, of Joslin Diabetes Center, offers this advice: "After selecting and cleaning an injection site, firmly--but not tightly--pinch up an area about 2–3 inches wide. Inject at a ninety degree angle while the skin is pinched. Leave the needle in while you relax the pinch. Count to five slowly. Then remove the needle. Do not massage the area after the injection."
If you use an insulin pen and experience discomfort, ask your provider or diabetes educator about using shorter pen needles and needles that are thinner. These can help minimize discomfort and do not require you to "pinch up."

I'm not certain if this is the right place for this but...
Every time I've attempted to download this update it fails with errors as does this other one. Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.
{E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libssh2_1.2.2-bt0_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libssh2.so.1', which is also in package libssh2-1
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/scapy2_2.1-bt1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/opt/kde3/share/applications/external/scapy.desktop', which is also in package scapy-menu}
Sounds like a bit of a mess to me
Remove libssh2-1 and scapy-menu from the package manager and reinstall the backtrack packages. Maybe a member of the dev team may want to look at this ?
You haven't updated anything from another repo have you ? If so i'd say that's the reason that you may be getting these errors ?
These issues may already be fixed in the final version of bt4 ?
This is fixed in the bt4-final iso
yes but my broadcom drivers dont seem to work,in 4 final does it not have the b43-fwcutter installed?
Thanks for the responses guys. I just finished installing the long awaited Holy Grail, I mean B|T 4 Final so I'll check it out. I'm in the process of trying to change my host listing from "bt" to the name of my partition. I think it's b\c I installed over the pre-release as opposed to scrubbing that part. and doing it clean. Um... But I'm digressing too much.
(I think I was right the first time in naming it the Holy Grail.)
BTW, I've since reinstalled those packages and everything is working fine. Thanks again.
Thanks for that lesson in pharmacology Pure! LOL I had to look it up and now my head has more questions than ever. Never even heard of it until now. Forever broadening my horizons...haha

Pillow Soft Silicone Ear Plugs
Item # 7
Click on the Question to reveal the Answer
These earplugs have been used while flying since the early 1960's and our users report them to be safe and effective for reducing flying discomfort. In addition, Dr. Ira Rubin, MD, PhD has found Mack's® Pillow Soft® Silicone earplugs to be an effective tool in preventing ear pain in children, especially infants, during plane trips. As he is quoted in a leading pediatric journal: "When molded to the ear canal, they protect the ear from painful air pressure changes and reduce noise as well. Parents report that ear plugs work especially well with infants when left in place for the entire flight. I suggest a trial run a week before the trip if parents anticipate a child's refusing to leave the ear plugs in place."
It is believed that the plugs slow down and/or decrease the effects of the pressure changes, thus allowing the ears more time to respond and equalize. As mentioned above, another manner by which the plugs help is by lowering the noise levels in the cabin allowing the user to rest, thus helping combat the effects of jet lag. The benefit of this rest is twofold in that is also helps calm and relax the "tense" flyer, thus allowing them to equalize more effectively. If you are suffering from an ear health condition, we recommend you consult an E.N.T. (ear, nose, and throat doctor) before flying while using the earplugs.
As the earplugs are only to be used as an aid, the user needs to take an active roll in trying to prevent the onset of the discomfort. The person should try to stay ahead of and prevent the discomfort by trying to "clear" their ears by one of the various known methods. This is especially important during descent when most of the discomfort occurs. One of the methods involves plugging the nose while applying slight blowing pressure while holding one's breath. Another method is to chew gum. It is not the gum itself, but the wide opening motion of the jaw and the act of swallowing that helps aid in the equalization process. Therefore, either faking it or merely munching on some snacks can achieve the same results.
We recommend wearing the earplugs the entire flight, up until the airplane has landed and the cabin has been depressurized.

Jaguar XK Series Overall Ownership Experience
Not this winter. I have use of an older SUV for the white gold. Come this fall, I'll have to decide which direction to take: snows or as the OEM Dunlop's may be ready for replacement, all-season's with a rep for being good in the snow (Continental Contact DSW, Nokian WRG2?) or trading the XK for something a little more practical. Right now, that would be an Audi A/S5, A7 or RR Evoque. Would be tough to part with the XK, though, but I think I've scratched the mid-life crisis itch. Although, there is the (hopefully!) upcoming Jag C-X16! Wife told my son it would be "irresponsible of your father to buy a two-seater!" That's cold...

mherman346 Posts: 1The Akebono brand brake pads will eliminate nearly all the black powder soot from the wheels. [http://www.autopartswarehouse.com has them as AKEBONO EURO ULTRA-PREMIUM BRAKE PADS, CERAMIC, 2-WHEEL SET] I had them installed with EBC slotted rotors and they work great and eliminated nearly all the soot problem.
Thanks for the advice, I'll review when the time comes. Luckily, they're an easy clean.

Not sure he would cross his Mom, the "money tree!" Wife has a passive-aggresive attitude about my XK. She's been encouraging me for years to just do it, but I being a fiscally conservative New Englander felt there were better things to do with the money (mortgage, college savings, blackjack... ). But, when a stock I owned was bought out, a sudden cash windfall-ish. Which I was going to save for a rainy, college invoice day... But she persuaded me to go to the dark side. And, is mad at me for doing so! I think she thought my "cheapness" wouldn't allow me to do so. Heads she wins, tails I lose!
But, that future Jag is a temptress. Let's see how reality stacks up to the fantasy.

So, two days after a rock creates an 18" straight line crack in the wife's BMW, today my car got nailed. Dime-sized crack about 8" below my sight line. Let's see how it looks tonight...

v8cat Posts: 6I've had my 2010 Jaguar XK coupe now almost 1 1/2 years. Not a problem! It has been back to the dealer only once for the free annual oil change. I'm just amazed at what an improvement the car is over the 1999 XK8 coupe I traded in. The aluminum body is much more rigid, and the new 385 HP engine is nice. The exhaust note is really exotic sounding - the older model I had was too quiet. The interior materials are top-notch including the leather covered dashboard and the soft grain leather seats with contrasting stitching. It also has the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, 16-way heated & cooled seats and the BEST THING ABOUT IT IS ALL OF THIS WAS STANDARD. There was not an option on the car except for the 20 inch Kalimnos wheels. It's great that you don't feel a bit cheated becasue you are in the base model.
Nice to hear about your XK, I agree that the exhaust note is great! My '09 "only" has the 300hp 4.2, but that's fine by me. The B & W system is also great, much better sounding to me than the Alpine. Mine also has the luxury pkg, so leather everywhere, multi-adjustable seats etc. Contrasting stitching would have been a nice touch, though.
Where are you located, any snow experience with your XK?
'13 Jaguar XF, '11 BMW 535xi, '02 Lexus RX300
It has been a year since I bought my Liquid Silver '09 Jag XK Coupe.
Likes: Well, look at it! It's an attention getter (last week, the father of one of my son's teammates brought his silver Aston Martin DB9 convertible to the game, I parked next to him. Like twins, separated at birth! Gotta admit, though, the Aston looks even better). Exhaust note, power delivery through the seamless auto tranny, luxurious interior, great ride/handling combination and fuel economy all make the like list. My new favorite frivolity, heated steering wheel has spoiled me for all cars to come (except, of course, the "winter beater" I'm contemplating buying. I just need that to run well and have heat!). And the keyless push button start is cool, the B&W audio system rocks and rolls.
Dislikes: Hmmm, well fuel economy (yes, also a like, because given the car and my driving, the 19-20mpg I average ain't bad. But, not great.). Warranty trips to the dealer for the AC issue (passenger footwell filling with condensation water), the audio control module and Nav system replacement. But, it's a British car, so the electronic gremlins surprised me not. The AC was unexpected. But, warranty work and absolutely fine otherwise. The touch screen certainly isn't state of the art, slow and having to scroll back and forth amongst screens isn't as much fun as it sounds. But, again, I knew of the electronic foibles before buying, so it was not a deal breaker.
So, I'll continue to enjoy this wonderful GT through the summer that is inching closer every day. I do kinda miss having a roof hole, c'est la guerre. I do need a road trip, though!
'13 Jaguar XF, '11 BMW 535xi, '02 Lexus RX300
But the other Prince of Darkness: Another "Lucas" moment. The other day, hopped in the XK and all the radio presets were gone. As was any radio audio. Ok, switched to CD, no problem. Drove home, rebooted car and all is well again. No problems since. But, the Gremlins, they lay in wait! 9 months of warranty left...
Of course, this happened two days after I was at the dealer for an hour simply getting my state inspection sticker, maybe it picked up a germ from a Land Rover? :P
'13 Jaguar XF, '11 BMW 535xi, '02 Lexus RX300
To all my many loyal readers: Took a bit of a road trip this past weekend. MA to CT (overnight at Mohegan Sun, got a free t-shirt!). Then, CT to the Berkshires in MA (in driving rain for a good portion of the trip). Returning via the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston (Ok, Westfield to I-495...).
75/25% I'll estimate highway/local driving. Including several stops, one PITA traffic tie-up on the way home Sunday returned (per the OBC):
338 miles
48mph average speed
All in the smooth, quiet and effortlessly powerful Jag. A pleasure, as always.
Downside? The Jag was parked under a tree from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, tree and birds did their jobs nicely. Hosed off the nasties upon returning home, will properly wash the car tonight.
'13 Jaguar XF, '11 BMW 535xi, '02 Lexus RX300
But, I'll try to break through all the noise...
'09 XK is now out of warranty. Nothing to report so far. I think it will need new shoes before state inspection. Otherwise, all is well. Just passed 35k miles, mpg has picked up as I think we may now be in the summer-blend of gas. A few dings in the passenger side door, which makes me quite sad. Like a scar on an in her prime Kim Basinger...
'13 Jaguar XF, '11 BMW 535xi, '02 Lexus RX300
To my many, many followers on this thread: It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my 2009 Jaguar XK....to a local Jag dealer as trade on a 2013 Jaguar XF. Great New Year's Eve deal, slightly offset by the lighter than other Jag dealer trade-in offers on the XK. But, the Jag/LR dealer (currently being refurbished) was great, threw in winter mats after the deal was done. Great financing, too.
I will pine for the XK for some time, it was a very special car to me. But, life does not always follow a straight road, a curve in said road led me trade for a more sensible pair of shoes. A pair I could drive in the snow and take a pair or two of skis within if I so desired.
Only have had the XF for a week, still adjusting to it. But, it is a lovely design both interior and exterior. So far, not thrilled with mpg, but not a highway run of more than a few miles so far, next week I'll take a longer road trip.
Besides the two vs. four doors, the AWD (and the extra ~400lbs) and the big trunk, the biggest difference to me is the ambience: The XK was a British Gentleman's Library: Quiet (besides the fantastic V8 growl and excellent B & W stereo), all wood and leather with dashes of chrome. The XF is cool and modern: not quite as silent (and missing the V8 symphony), more aluminum than wood, but matted wood vs. highly glossed in the XK and a bit o'the chrome. Improved infotainment, but still lags BMW and Audi. But, easy to get used to and it works, although a bit slowly at times. Phosporesent blue lighting, cool...
And, of course, since I bought it to be able to drive in the snow, ain't no snow to go in! And, none forecasted, it's getting warmer (from, of course around 3 degrees!). My guess is that now that I've bought a snow go car, I won't see snow again for years!
Adieu, sweet XK. I hope you find a truly loving home.

In a word: superb: smooth, fast, powerful, comfortable, excellent fit and finish and a shape that puts every other car to shame. And as long as you keep the battery fully charged, no problems at all.

Human beings walk upright on two legs in a way not encountered in any other life form. (See Bipedalism,) Some other animals possess a limited ability to walk on two legs. Mammals such as the bear and monkey can move on their hind legs for short periods of time, such as when they're reaching for something to eat). However, they have stooped skeletons and normally walk on four legs.
According to the classifications made in the imaginary human family tree, it is claimed that apes classified under the names Australopithecus and Homo habilis walked upright. However, through research into their fossil skeletons in question by a great number of scientists, the invalidity of these claims has been revealed.
The claim of bipedalism is one that evolutionist paleontologists such as Richard Leakey and Donald Johanson have supported for decades. Wide-ranging research into Australopithecus specimens by two world famous anatomists, Lord Solly Zuckerman of Britain and Professor Charles Oxnard of the USA, showed that these beings were not bipedal, but moved in the same way as present-day apes. Despite being an evolutionist himself, Lord Zuckerman, who for 15 years examined the bones of these creatures with a team consisting of five experts, backed by the British government, concluded that Australopithecus was an ordinary species of ape and very definitely did not walk upright.150
Finally in 1994, Liverpool University's Fred Spoor and his team carried out wide-ranging studies in order to arrive at a definitive conclusion regarding the Australopithecus skeleton. During that research, the inner ear structures of Australopithecus fossils were examined. An organ known as the cochlea determines the body's position relative to the ground in the inner ears of human beings and other complex life forms. That organ's function is similar to the bubble level used to maintain level surfaces by carpenters.. In order to determine whether the creatures portrayed as ancestors of man walked upright, Fred Spoor investigated this particular organ. The comparison analyses made on the balance centers revealed that apes classified as Homo habilis did not walk upright, but were bent forward.152

Holiday 2012: 13 Fantastic Gifts That Give Back
From beautiful baubles to cozy blankets, there's something for everyone on your list! And you'll be giving back with every purchase.
-Diana Denza
'Tis the season for cold weather, crowded malls, and gift giving! But while everyone else is rushing to check off everyone on their Nice List, you can skip the lines and give gifts that really count. With our fabulous selection of totes, baubles, shoes, blankets, and more, you can click your way to Christmas without ever leaving the couch. Plus, each of these 13 goodies gives back to communities that need our aid the most. Getting into the holiday spirit has never been so easy!
1. FEED NYC bag for Sandy relief ($35, feedprojects.com).
The Bettys residing in New York City were devastated after Hurricane Sandy struck. Though we were some of the lucky ones, many of our friends and family members were not. Thankfully, FEED has been helping the victims of this natural disaster with a selection of limited edition relief items. This tote was crafted in the Big Apple. Each purchase will provide 25 meals to hungry NYC residents hit hardest by Sandy. Even if you're on the other side of the country (or world!), lending a helping hand is a tote bag away!
2. Reed bracelet ($20, commonthreadz.org).
Orphans in South Africa lack a very basic necessity that often prevents them from attending school: a uniform. With every purchase of an adjustable, versatile bracelet, an orphaned African child will receive a school uniform. What's more, the bracelets themselves were created by female artisans in the country, providing them with wages they need to feed their families. Who knew that such a simple gift could change lives?

3. TOMS red dot women's classics ($54, toms.com).

4. Carnelian glass bead necklace ($350, sameskyshop.com).
Your search for the perfect gift for mom will come to an end with this stunning hand-blown glass necklace. Created by HIV-positive female artisans in Africa, Same Sky's pieces are as beautiful as they are empowering.
5. Warby Parker holiday gift card + cookie ($95, warbyparker.com).
Warby Parker proves once and for all that glasses aren't just for nerdy chemistry professors. One $95 gift card will buy your pal a fresh pair of prescription glasses or one pair of the coolest non-Rx shades in town. They'll even get a hand-iced holiday cookie to nosh on as they shop. For every pair sold, the brand donates one to their non-profit partners.
6. Roma boots in glossy plum ($84, romaboots.com).
These boots were made for winter walkin'. And the glossy plum hue is totally on trend this season. Like TOMS' One-for-One model, Roma gives an impoverished child a pair of rain boots for each one you purchase. They even have fabulous options for the men and kids in your life.
Up next: A sparkling star topper, a blanket to cozy up in, and more!

Yeah, they never get bots on the UG for one. apart from living TLI bots I hear. But that's another matter.
you ever heard of a tattooist called Luca? Italian fellow, very good bloke. He does Japanese stuff only. Told me he was doing a guest spot down in Wales – think he said Cardiff, I was trying to work out with him if it's Chris' students that he is always inking. Ah well.
this place would do well to employ a full time moderator, no more than £100 a day seems reasonable. i can't promise that i wouldn't abuse my powers but that's a very minor risk when you weigh things up.

The Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP) is a joint statewide project of the California State University and the University of California. MDTP develops, distributes, scores, and reports the results of diagnostic tests that measure student readiness for mathematics courses ranging from Prealgebra to Calculus. Diagnosing a student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses helps teachers focus on areas needing review to increase students' chances of success in mathematics, better prepares students for further study in mathematics, and keeps open many career paths. MDTP was established in 1978 and has received support from CAPP since 1985.
MDTP provides test materials and scoring services to California mathematics teachers who request them. Online and paper versions of the tests are available. Assistance in using test results to improve class development and instruction is provided by MDTP associates at 10 scoring sites around the state.
MDTP hosts user conferences for secondary teachers and faculty from community colleges and universities to help them better understand their students' needs and different approaches to mathematics instruction.
The MDTP website provides information on accessing tests, the regional sites and activities, and MDTP Newsletters: http://mdtp.ucsd.edu
A new report on teachers' use of MDTP results is now available. Click to read the Summary and Full Report commissioned by CAPP and prepared by Karen Volz Bachofer, Andrew C. Zau and Julian R. Betts of the San Diego Education Research Alliance (SanDERA) at University of California, San Diego. This study extends prior research and a report published by the Public Policy Institute of California in October 2011 which examined district-mandated use of MDTP in San Diego Unified School District and found strong and noteworthy gains.

SACRED TREASURES V: FROM A RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL features mainly 20th century and contemporary composers. There are several selections from Liturgy of Peace by Archbishop lonafan (Yeletskyh) of Kiev in which the eastern Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is sung to the melodies of Western Gregorian chants, creating a musical synthesis of the two traditions.
All the pieces and performances are infused with a solemn and deeply devotional quality. The singing is spacious and warm, creating an atmosphere of holiness and benediction.

The holiday season is a great time for charity and many of our favorite celebrities have teamed with Operation Bobbi Bear to raise some serious cash.
It's been 10 years since she made boys drool in her red hot Baywatch suit, but earlier this week Carmen Electra proved that she still has the hot factor.
While taking the stage at the Elevate Concert Series in Los Angeles on June 4, the 42-year-old performed in red leather hot pants accented with a cleavage-baring black-and-gold bra. She complimented the getup with fishnets and fingerless black gloves. Carmen's ensemble was created by celebrity costume designer Marco Marco.
They called it quits in 2006, but that isn't stopping Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra from getting a little frisky.
The former married couple met up on the red carpet before the 6th Annual Revolver Golden Gods awards in Los Angeles last night (April 23), and during their reunion they decided to touch tongues for a sultry snap.
Bringing her undeniable sex appeal to another spread, Carmen Electra fronts the April 2014 issue of FHM magazine.
Attracting some of the biggest names in the Latino entertainment industry, two famous celebrities whom we all know attended the 14th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards on Thursday (November 21).
Ricky Martin made an explosive appearance at the Las Vegas event, posing for a series of energetic snapshots with stars and fans, as well as performing on stage.
Stepping out for a scary good time, Carmen Electra showed up at a festive Halloween bash in West Hollywood last night (October 31).
Always easy on the eyes, the former "Baywatch" babe served up all kinds of eye candy in a black and red leather outfit with black tall high heel boots and a red wig as she hammed it up for fans and shutterbugs.
It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.
Ratings wars are fierce between network morning shows, and the "Today" hosts pulled out all the stops with their Halloween costume selections.

In Search Of History
A Dutch scholar is in Albany scouring local history archives for a copy of a black-and-white film The Netherlands produced to thank the upstate city for its help after World War II.
Anja Adriaans of Nijmegan is on a mission to find a copy of ``This is Nijmegan,'' a short film that was shown in Albany movie theaters in 1950.
The Netherlands produced the film after the people of Albany donated 300 tons of supplies to Nijmegan in 1947 to help it recover from the devastation caused during the war, when Allied troops and German forces battled for control of a bridge in the city.
Adriaans wants to find the film so she can use it to teach young people in Nijmegan about their city's history.

Queens of the Stone Age should be sitting on the Billboard 200 throne next week. According to Billboard.com, industry sources say the group's new album, ...Like Clockwork, is on track to sell 80,000 copies before the tracking week ends on Sunday.
If that number holds up, the Queens will most likely unseat Daft Punk and take over the number-one spot on the album tally. It would be the first chart-topper for Josh Homme's band, whose best showing came in 2005 when Lullabies to Paralyze peaked at number five.
The rockers' last album - 2007's Era Vulgaris - topped out at number 14. The new Billboard 200 will be unveiled on Wednesday, June 12th.

Re: Roethlisberger Sucks
And yet, we all look past that and cheer for him. Why? Because quite obviously, the man has turned away from whatever evils were around him. He's gone through hell and rebuilt his life. He's atoned.
Ben plays for a rival, so I'll never LIKE him. But, I think we can all admit, he's seemed to turn his life around from whatever ways he was before. I don't really think he outright raped anyone, though I might tend to think he was "aggressive" and probably carried on in ways that were not too smart or honorable. But, the man has gotten married and had a kid now. And we've heard less and less about him partying and doing anything stupid.
Let's just say he was QB for the Ravens. I think we'd absolutely forgive him like we did with Ray. Am I glad we don't have to worry about that what if, sure...assuming Flacco gets a bit more consistency. Do we still have things we can taunt him about? Absolutely. He's still a major drama queen and seems to develop these "painful" injuries that he always seems to play through and grimace like he's being stabbed in the kidney. But I think in this case, whatever happened with him, it isn't anymore..
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.

Re: Roethlisberger Sucks
The facts of Ray's case are well documented and the likliehood that he was involved in the murders beyond being a witness who didn't cooperate with the police is slim to none. We've forgiven Ray for his mistakes in allowing people who would kill to be in his life.
As for what fans in general would do, yes, I think in general fans would embrace Ben the Raven. I was just giving my opinion which is that I can and will not support him in any context.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Re: Roethlisberger Sucks
Some people must be smoking there lunch.
This a charitable foundation, no different than any other athletes foundation. It is run by a professional company that manages charities. In reading the eligibility requirements. Looks like a way to drum up fans for the Stillers.
"ELIGIBILITY: K-9 units of police and fire departments in Pittsburgh, PA and in the city of each regular season away game for the Steelers in the 2012-13 season are eligible. The 2012 cycle will also award grants to two cities anywhere in the U.S. that would not otherwise be eligible (must be non-NFL market cities) if the Steelers go to the playoffs."
Re: Roethlisberger Sucks
No woman wants to be RAPED, even in a post-"50 Shades of Grey" world. Neither does any woman relish the ordeal faced by the plaintiff in a rape case (defense attorneys publically go over and after their lifestyle/sexual history like starving dogs - that's what they're paid to do). This is why many rape plaintiffs drop charges. Ben most likely had charges dropped in the GA case (and others I think, I'm no expert on Ben's off-field history) for precisely this reason. No woman would make even the initial accusation unless they experienced other than fully consensual sexual contact.
Ben used his status to attract female attention and then behaved in ways that were not perceived by his accusers as fully consensual. The GA case w/ the drunk college kid I find particularly egregious, much as I found Bill Clinton and Paula Jones or Monica L. Pick on someone your own size, boys!!
I don't doubt that Ben behaved at least boorishly and quite likely criminally in his sexual assault/rape incidents. He has a history of being an asshole when out in public. It has permanently affected my perception of him and the desirability of his obvious football talents.
The thing w/ police dogs he has been doing for a while in every community in which he plays, and good for him.
It is a worthy gesture even considering the obvious p.r. motivations that in part motivate it.
I'm glad I won't have to watch him tomorrow from Sec 527, for any number of reasons.
Sorry, guy, but the brother, husband, and father in me had to pipe up. GO RAVENS and peace out.

WATCH: Porsha Williams is in no mood for Kenya Moore on 'RHOA' reunion
It's almost time for the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion to premiere and we can't wait to see what drama awaits us.
We already know that Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams came to blows, but it looks like there's plenty of other craziness to expect before Kenya calls the cops.
In the sneak peek, we see the beauty queen get her sector snatched by the singer when it gets a little too close to her face and it's clear that Porsha isn't playing.
She's also happy to showcase her brand new boobs, which are on full display throughout the three-part reunion.
According to Kandi Burruss, fans will get to see Kenya get smacked by Porsha, but it all goes down pretty fast.
"It was no love at the reunion. It caught us off-guard – we had no clue that was about to happen. I mean, I just really thought they were gonna do a lil arguing and that would be that… I never in a million years thought that Porsha would mollywhop her," she told Bethenny.
"It was quick, but she definitely got her by the head. We don't get to see how they edit it, but I guess you have to say Porsha won since Kenya never ever got the change to make a move."
Check out the sneak peek, below.

Source Naturals Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker works by slowing down the digestion of starch by inhibiting alpha-amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch to be more fully absorbed by the body. Source Naturals Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker may help support weight loss when used in conjunction with the Maximum Metabolism Weight Loss Plan (included). Source Naturals Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker is a clinically tested, standardized, all natural supplement for reducing the digestion of dietary starches. Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker has been found to reduce starch digestion by as much as 66%. However, individuals may experience different results based on body type, eating habits and lifestyle. Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker is an extract made from a portion of the white kidney bean that may help consumers control their carbohydrate intake. Weight Control Starch Control Help Reduce Starch by 66% All Natural Clinically Tested Powerful Starch Control Source Naturals Phase 2 Carbohydrate BlockerSupports the dieter's quest for a healthy and simple weight loss when used in conjunction with the Maximum Metabolism Weight Loss Plan. Carbohydrates (common foods such as pasta, bread, baked goods, rice, grains and potatoes) are high in calories. And a typical Western diet gets half its daily caloric intake from starch. Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker is offered in tablets, and in tasty, fruit-flavored, chewable wafers. Both contain a highly refined derivative of white kidney beans. Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker works by inhibiting alpha amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into glucose so that it can be absorbed in the body, thus decreasing caloric intake. With Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker, undigested starch may pass through the body unabsorbed. Two wafers or tablets taken just before meals may reduce the digestion of dietary starches. Phase 2 Carbohydrate Blocker is manufactured through a proprietary process and studies prove that it's safe and easy to use. The studies indicate that there is no effect on the digestion and absorption of other food stuffs, namely protein. Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more. Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Art and Literature Are Teeming with Monsters, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Behold, art and literature's greatest monsters! Plenty of welcome departures from the norm here—Frankenstein and Dracula didn't make the list. Neither did Chuck Palahniuk.
- In a synergistic turn worthy of the greatest CEOs, Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch has caused a spike in attendance at the Frick, where its namesake painting resides. (There's a tote bag now, too.)
- An intrepid sociologist gets at the roots of uptalk—the irritating tendency to inflect every sentence as if it were a question—by watching Jeopardy!
- Disparaging nondisparagement agreements: Byliner canned editor Will Blythe, and he's not going quietly. Or rather, he is going quietly, but he would prefer to reserve the right not to.

#1: does anyone on here not do CG at all?
I've been on here awhile and I'm wondering if anyone else uses tips from this site, but does not do the CG method at all? I've found CG just doesn't work for me, but I've also found other great hair tips. Is there anyone else out there like me? I shampoo, I dry with a towel and I *gasp* brush my hair! I'm just comfortable in my ways. I'm not saying CG is bad, or my way is good, just that I'm used to what I've always done and my results are good enough for me to be happy that way. Anyone else?

LONG BEACH — City leaders released a budget proposal Wednesday that closes a $17.2 million deficit, in part by eliminating 40 police officer positions, implementing a new paramedic service delivery model and cutting library offerings.
The plan contains other sweeping reductions in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, downsizing the city workforce by 294 positions and potentially laying off 152 employees. The police officers and three firefighters slated for elimination will be cut through attrition, officials said.
Mayor Bob Foster said during a morning press conference that the $395.4 million general fund budget for next year is indicative of a "new normal" economy in which Long Beach's revenues are expected to lag behind its expenses for the foreseeable future.
"Rather than long for the good old days of government - or worse, continue policies that reflect the belief that they will return - we need to embrace the new reality and radically change the way we conduct the public's business," Foster said.
In a major step, the police cuts, almost $9 million, would merge the South and West divisions into a new Central Division and lay off 32 civilian support staff.
Additionally, the Homicide, Vice and Violent Special Predator units have been tapped for consolidation, a total of seven sworn officers.
Long Beach Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said the move would result in slower investigations.
Past budget decreases have created an investigations environment that McDonnell compared to "triage."
"We try to focus (on cases) with physical evidence to support prosecution," he said.
In the Fire Department, four-person engine crews would be maintained - a point of political contention last year - but officials would have to offset the impact of the $3.6 million cost in other ways.
The solution: taking a to-be-determined fire engine out of service and converting to a new paramedic service model used in other California counties, such as San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino, that utilizes one paramedic and one emergency medical technician rather than the two paramedics currently required.
Officials claimed the paramedic change would improve services by increasing the city's ambulance corps from eight to 11 while reducing costs by lowering the number of paramedics needed in the system.
The delivery model, which would save an estimated $1 million, must be approved by Los Angeles County.
Fire officials are now collecting data to identify which engine to take off-line and expect to choose one by early September, according to Long Beach Fire Department Chief Mike DuRee.
Library, park, other cuts
Library services would be slashed by $1.3 million, with six neighborhood branch locations converting into "self-service" facilities that offer check-out of materials and computer use, but limited programs and librarian assistance. Hours at the Main Library would be reduced to match those of branch facilities and staff there will shrink.
The largest portion of the $2.8 million proposed to be axed from the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department budget, some $1.3 million, comes from ending city-run youth programs at College Estates, Wardlow, Whaley, Pan Am, Somerset, Coolidge, Stearns, Cherry, Drake, Miracle, El Dorado West, Davenport, Deforest and Bixby parks. Programs would continue in West Long Beach parks, where populations are considered at-risk, officials said.
Among other cuts, Public Works funding would be reduced by $1.7 million. Of that, $1 million would come from reducing the sidewalk program from $3 million to $2 million, leading to delayed repairs and more reliance on one-time funds.
The proposed budget does include a 40-recruit police academy - the city last inducted a recruit class into service in 2009 - using approximately $3 million in one-time funds drawn from surplus oil revenue and other sources.
The LBPD has lost more than 200 officers, about 20 percent of the force, since 2008.
Officials said there would be challenges to pay officers who graduate from the academy in the coming years.
"At least it's going to stop the bleeding and hopefully stabilize the number of officers we have in the street," said City Manager Pat West.
Oil income would also be used to bring fire stations into compliance with gender equality laws. The effort will cost $4 million.
Continuing a trend, assumed per barrel oil prices would be set at $65 in the spending plan, up from $55 in the current fiscal year and $45 in 2011. The city routinely underestimates the per barrel value of oil in its budgeting, citing the volatility of the commodity.
Long Beach is paid for the oil that petroleum companies pull from beneath the city.
Mayor's recommendations
Foster, in his traditional mayor's recommendations for the budget, is asking the City Council to direct West to conduct studies to bid out custodial services, certain technology services and refuse hauling to save money.
The budget must now be approved by the council, which could alter the proposal. The council has until Sept. 15 to OK the budget.
Additional recommendations made by Foster include restoring the sidewalk repair fund cuts, examining other areas where private sector employees can perform work now done by city staff, consolidating the Public Works, Oil and Gas, and Water departments, and changing overtime and bonus compensation to match federal standards.
Premium pay, given for earning advanced education and learning specialized skills, has spiked from $8.2 million annually in 2003 to $18.7 million last year, according to a city-hired consultant.
The consultant also found that total staffing in Long Beach was 11.14 positions per 1,000 population, the highest compared to seven other large California cities. Oakland was second with 9.5 employees per 1,000 population.
Reining in employee costs is a key component in budget sustainability, Foster said.
"No one should impugn the work performed by public employees or the contribution they make to our city," he told reporters.
"They are not, however, a special class immune from the economy or modern work rules and sustainable salaries and benefits."
Long Beach has eliminated $209 million and 857 positions since 2004, or 25 percent of employees and 28 percent of management staff, while avoiding the crushing fiscal difficulties that have led several other California cities to bankruptcy.
Last year, the city negotiated pension reform with police and fire unions that officials say will save an estimated $100 million by 2022.
Some of those savings were applied this year to soften cuts required from the Police and Fire departments under Long Beach's proportionate-share budgeting philosophy, in which departments lower spending by a figure in line with their share of the general fund.
Public safety accounts for 68 percent of day-to-day expenses in Long Beach.
Negotiations are ongoing with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the largest city union representing the bulk of non-public safety employees.
If the group agreed to pension reforms similar to those public safety workers accepted, there would be savings of about $4 million for the general fund in 2013, city officials said.
The money would be directed to areas of the budget subsumed by union members and programs, according to West.
Officials predict budget shortfalls of $10.9 million in 2014 and $6.4 million in 2015.

I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
Thanks for the post your right it did bring a tear to my eye. Both kids deserve all the media attention they are getting i wish i had the heart shown on that mat by both boys.
What a awesome young lad. Wish all kids were cut from the same cloth of that young chap.
I totaly disagree. That was horrible to watch, i feel for that kid.

Corsham Town Council groundsman Matthew Leighton-Fry, 50, carried the Olympic torch in Frome today and said it was an unforgettable experience.
"It was absolutely fantastic," he said. "I was pretty nervous beforehand but in the end it was all over too quick. I enjoyed it so much, it was an absolutely outstanding thing to be a part of and it probably won't hit home just how much of a big deal it was, until the Olympics actually start in a few weeks time.
"The crowds were amazing and they gave me some lovely support during the run. I'm really pleased to be part of the relay and I've purchased my torch as I want to keep it to remember today and pass it down through the family."

This one work very well with my kid, every time when he start coughing because of flu or cold, I gave him 3 times aday and usually recover in 2-3 days. This is already my 2nd purchase, will buy again.

My toddler likes the taste of this cough syrup, I am just not sure it is very effective. I like this brand and trust the quality but just don't see too much of a result. I'll try a different one next time.

Chestal is a natural way to help get rid of colds in children.
not impressed

I always use herbs for kids Elderberry syrup for coughs but ran out and Iherb was out of stock so i searched for a replacement and bought this. First off it is VERY sugary, (and sugar stuns the immune system for hours so not great for sick kids) after several doses i didn't notice any improvement for his cough. he did get sick with a minor cold and cough a few weeks later and it did seem to help a bit with that more minor cough. i would not buy this again.
