So lest people think I am a liar, below are the full texts of Tome Tender's reviews that appeared on Amazon up until recently and still appear on the Tome Tender website.
I must add that when I first offered Tome Tender an ARC copy for review, I did not know that they were a Top 500 Reviewer (that was quite the gasping-for-breath moment, one I won't forget) and no way did I or will I ever pay for a review.
LOVE LIES BLEEDING (Click here to see it on Tome Tender)
"Never underestimate the power of well-chosen words! Love Lies Bleeding by Lori J.Fitzgerald brings the tale of a free-spirited girl and the Spirit of the Forest into your heart as it pricks long ago memories of feeling the magic of fairytales dancing through your mind.
Young Aislin always felt the call of the forest, beckoning her, surrounding her with warmth, but young girls grow up and reality seems to get in the way of fantasy and childhood musings. When her life takes a horrendous turn and becomes a living nightmare, only the magic of the forest can bring her eternal joy and love.
Centered on the very soul of myths and legends, the Celtic world, magical beings, life, tragedy and the final ultimate enchantment of happiness is full to overflowing with the magic of Lori J. Fitzgerald's words.
I received this ARC edition from Lori J. Fitzgerald in exchange for my honest review."
SONGS WITHIN STONE (Click here to see it on Tome Tender)
"There is beauty and magic in the hands of an artisan, no matter what they create. William, a mason's apprentice hears the beauty of the songs that stones sing to his heart as he brings raw stone to life with his carving. One brutal incident leaves William's kind heart hardened and bitter, and in search of another Master Mason to train under. Was this punishment or did fate guide him to the place where he could make peace with his demons while finding his true calling and a place to call home?
Once again, Lori J. Fitzgerald had me entranced by her almost poetic style of writing! Songs Within Stone is a quick read that captures the feel of long ago times, the magic of friendships and believing in oneself to do the right thing. Ms. Fitzgerald has woven another tale filled with characters from mythology, some beasts and some fae and created a tapestry rich with character, color and atmosphere as one apprentice finally finds his very soul singing to him as clearly as the stones he brings to life. Feel the magic of fantasy, watch each scene play out and escape into a world meant to be found by all of us who believe in the magic of the written words within books. With a gentle pace, moments of awe and even sadness and joy, Lori J. Fitzgerald's world is spellbinding to behold with her rich words and obvious love for her characters and her work.
I received this copy from Lori J. Fitzgerald in exchange for my honest review."

Lowe's exact role is still unknown, though it's likely he'll fill Pat Symonds' shoes. Symonds, chief technical officer at Williams last year, left the team last December. That means Lowe will become the most senior figure in the technical hierarchy, and it's believed he'll become a main board director, alongside Claire Williams, Mike O'Driscoll, and Nike Rose. It's expected Lowe will begin work on March 1st, providing there are no delays For more Formula One news and discussions head over to the RaceDepartment Formula One sub forum and join in with your fellow community members.

According to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat, agriculture contributes between 4 percent and 27 percent of the regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and about 20 percent of the total export earnings.
In addition to this, more than 70 percent of the region's 277 million people are dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods.
To ensure that the sector remains an engine for socio-economic development in the region, southern Africa is developing harmonised regional guidelines on the use and disposal of agrochemicals and fertilizers.
This is in line with other SADC instruments such as the Revised Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) 2015-2063, the Dar-es-Salaam Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security of 2004 and the SADC Regional Agricultural Policy that aim to address poverty and hunger in the region.
At the continental level, the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme and the Malabo Declaration also call for improved use of agricultural inputs, including agrochemicals andfertilizers.
The development of harmonised guidelines is, therefore, critical because agrochemicals and fertilizers are the mostly used inputs in the agricultural sector, particularly in the control of pests, diseases and other purposes.
However, if not well managed, especially in their use and disposal they use can result in serious environmental and public health concerns.
In developing the harmonised regional guidelines on agrochemicals and fertilizers, SADC will take cognisance of the various lifecyclesof agrochemicals and fertilizers to ensure that each stage of use, including registration to post registration and disposal, is addressed.
The main aim of the regional guidelines is to promote the effective utilisation and disposal of agrochemicals and fertilizer to safeguard human and environmental health while improving productivity of the agriculture sector.
While the development of harmonised regional guidelines will play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity, the harmonisation will also go a long way in promoting regional integration.
Despite global efforts through international conventions to manage chemicals, adherence is very minimal in the region.
Furthermore, most SADC Member States have varying membership to global conventions, therefore, making it difficult to collectively manage the problems associated with chemicals.
The regional guidelines will therefore, promote risk reductions associated with the use and disposal of agrochemicals and fertilizers.
The guidelines will also improve the use of such inputs thereby improving food security. For example, improper or excessive use of chemicals with unchecked disposal has affected production.
According to the SADC Secretariat's timeframe, consultancy for the development of the guidelines was expected to commence in the first quarter of 2016.
The consultant is expected to, among other things, provide detailed technical steps and procedures describing the appropriate procedures on use and disposal of agrochemicals and fertilizers.
Other tasks include:
- Identifying and analyzingexisting gaps in the management, use and disposal of agrochemicals and fertilizers in safeguarding food safety, human health and environmental integrity; - Developing technical guidelines to promote harmonised use and disposal of fertilizers and agrochemicals in the region; - Identifying the regional monitoring systems for ensuring compliance by Member States; and - Identifying institutional capacity needs at regional and national levels to implement the guidelines.
The guidelines should reflect the scope, implementation and management modalities, as well as address issues relating to protection of the environment, biodiversity and lives through risk-reduction procedures.
The guidelines are also expected to be in line with other existing guidelines, including, but not limited to, codes developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to facilitate the operationalisation and development of synergies, as well as other conventions related to agrochemicals management.

Confidence vs. Low Self Esteem
There are mainly two negative ways in which confidence could manifest for someone: the lack of confidence, which leads to low self esteem, and the overconfidence, that might lead to arrogance.
Low self esteem usually develops after a long period of time in which a person disregard his/her own self, as a result of a comparison with others or with the so called social standards. This deficit of confidence is often causing damage to the person holding this belief. It prevents good things from happening, by using fear of a future event for stopping something that might turn out positive and rewarding.
On the other hand, overconfidence turned into arrogance can be harmful, as well, because it implies holding a superior view of oneself that is contrasting with the reality. This is also a damaging aspect of confidence, because it could create differences between how a person is regarded by the society and that person's self awareness, or it can result in negative outcomes when the person in cause is facing a real life situation where his/her abilities were not realistically evaluated.
However, there is a level of self-assessment which can always be beneficial, and that level can be achieved by creating a balance between low self esteem and overconfidence. Finding and constantly improving one's confidence is not impossible, nor is it something predestined. It is an attribute which can be altered in our favor, with the right mindset and tools. In the next sections, you can find a few examples on how a healthy level of confidence can be achieved and maintained.

Last week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics presented a bleak unemployment report, with few jobs added and a higher unemployment rate.
Certainly, the debt ceiling negotiations have contributed to a slight stall in business and of course jobs, as leaders watch and wait out the uncertainty. There's been so much focus on what might happen if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Meanwhile, we may already be seeing an impact.
As soon as Washington turned its talk from the 2011 budget to the debt limit, following promising job numbers in February and March, the job market begin to decline, with the number of unemployed people increasing by 545,000 and the unemployment rate rising by .4% between April and now, according to the latest BLS report.
If you, like many, aren't clear on exactly what the debt limit means, and what the consequences may be if we do or don't increase it, the Heritage Foundation has released this little video to explain it. Though, you might just bypass it unless you appreciate extreme biases and being spoken to like a 5-year-old. There's also this explanation, which theorizes that the government has already shutdown.
Our country and even our company have witnessed valleys and peaks in the economy, though perhaps not one so prolonged as this current one. We know first hand there are jobs out there that need to be filled, and there are workers who want to work. We work tirelessly to connect the two, but there are so many other things that can be done! We could use the support of communicative, bipartisan leaders to do it.

With three regular-season games remaining, Tabb coach Matt Lawson doesn't have the Tigers thinking playoff positioning just yet. "We're just trying to play football games and have fun right now," he said.

Poquoson dashes Bruton's playoff hopes with 20-9 win at Bruton
By Brad Boyd, CORRESPONDENT
October 28, 2011
The atmosphere was that of a playoff game — Poquoson and Bruton (4-5) have recent memory of each other. It was evident from the opening kickoff that both teams wanted to control the game on the ground. Poquoson (6-3) fumbled on their first possession of the game and was recovered by Bruton. The Panthers drive stalled after two costly penalties forcing an early punt by Bruton. Poquosen started their next drive on their own 5 yard line. The Islanders marched down the field in 15 plays and 90 yards only to be stopped by the Panther defense on a 4th and 1.

December 6, 2011
Grafton High confirmed its status as Bay Rivers District girls basketball favorite with an emphatic 66-43 win on Tuesday at Bruton. The identity of the district's best player was uncertain heading into the season, but Clippers forward Olivia Wilson might have cleared that up with her monster outing. Wilson, a 5-foot-8 sophomore, led the Clippers (4-0, 3-0 district) with 30 points and 15 rebounds. The output was reminiscent of her 26-point, nine-rebound effort in the Clippers' win over Bruton in the district tournament championship game in February.

But Carter watched the final four-tenth's of a second with a few anxious breaths. Bruton led 52-41 with 2:31 left and looked to have the game well in hand. Solomon Finley sank a desperation 3-pointer from the right corer and then Jake Rudolph buried a 20-footer to cut the lead in half at 53-49.

February 22, 2013
Brunswick County High's gymnasiums, old and new, have been a Bermuda Triangle of sorts for Bay Rivers District basketball teams for more than two decades. That proved the case again Friday, as Poquoson's girls and Bruton's boys fell to the Bulldogs in Region I Division 3 championship games. Nevertheless, both Bay Rivers teams acquitted themselves well. Poquoson was much more competitive than expected in losing to Brunswick 67-52 in the girls regional final, while Bruton stayed within striking distance most of the night before falling 56-49 to Brunswick's two-time defending Division 3 state champion boys.

Japan stocks slip after data; steel, shippers up
Japanese stocks slid on Monday as investors wary of credit woes sold some financial stocks following Friday's rises, while an unexpected drop in capital spending data put a lid on the overall market.
But losses were curbed as Nippon Steel Corp, the world's second-biggest steelmaker, rose on a report that it would raise its dividend, and shipping stocks sailed higher after the Baltic Exchange's Dry Freight Index hit a record high.
Fujitsu Ltd ended 1.3 percent higher at 801 yen after the company won a multimillion-dollar order from Flag Telecom, the undersea cable arm of India's Reliance Communications Ltd.
Government data showed on Monday that Japanese firms cut capital spending by 4.9 percent in April-June from a year earlier, in sharp contrast with a median forecast by economists for an 11.5 percent rise.
The data was disappointing, said Yasuo Yabe, director of sales at Meiwa Securities. We would have liked to get a confirmation that the Japanese economy is OK, he said.
The Nikkei shed 0.27 percent, or 44.16 points, to 16,524.93. The Nikkei added more than 400 points on Friday on news that President George W. Bush would outline reforms to help homeowners with subprime mortgages.
The broader TOPIX index fell 0.17 percent to 1,605.44.
Yoshinori Nagano, chief strategist at Daiwa Asset Management, said the data showed that capital spending may be peaking out, but added that hopes are high that overseas demand would make up for the slack in the domestic market.
Capital spending by small and mid-sized firms is not as strong as before, he said. But what has been driving machinery companies is overseas demand.
Goldman Sachs said in a report on Monday that following the data, the April-June GDP estimate will be revised downwards from an initial figure of 0.5 percent quarter-on-quarter annualized growth to a decline of 1.2 percent. Still, Goldman said it was too early to be pessimistic.
We expect any dip in GDP to be temporary, however, and growth to turn upwards again in July-September, it said adding that production and shipments are robust, no major slowdown in personal consumption has been seen, and exports are growing.
Revised April-June GDP data is due out on September 10.
Trade was thin with 1.5 billion shares changing hands, compared with average daily volume of 2.1 billion shares in July, the last full month for which figures are available. Advancers slightly outnumbered decliners 807 to 793.
Shares of bank, insurance and brokerage firms fell as investors were quick to lock in profits after Friday's rises.
Mizuho Financial Group lost 1 percent to 726,000 yen and Nomura Holdings fell 1.7 percent to 2,015 yen, both snapping their two-day gains.
Earnings prospects lifted steel stocks and the Baltic Exchange's Dry freight Index, which measures the strength of seaborne trade for dry commodities, hit a fresh record high on Friday, helping shipping stocks to sail higher.
Nippon Steel added 1.5 percent to 824 yen after the Nikkei daily said it would likely pay an annual dividend of 11 yen per share, up 1 yen from a year earlier.
Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd jumped 3.4 percent to 1,547 yen and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd added 2.2 percent to 1,744 yen.
The shipping sector has proved to be resilient due to expectations for strong earnings. While the TOPIX has bounced up 8 percent since it hit this year's low on August 17, the Tokyo shipping subindex has recovered 20 percent.
A notable stock was cosmetics maker Shiseido Co which was up 2.5 percent at 2,475 yen after the cosmetics maker said on Friday it would buy back up to 25 billion yen worth of its own shares.

The classic task assignment problem (AP) assigns m agents to n tasks, where each task is assigned to exactly one agent. This problem and many of its variations, including the case where a task is assigned to a group of agents working independently, have been discussed extensively in the literature. We consider a specific class of task assignment problems where each task is assigned to a group of collaborating agents that work as a team. Thus, changing one of the group members may have a vital impact on the output of the group. We assume that each agent has a set of capabilities and each task has certain requirements. The objective is to assign agents to teams such that the gain is maximized.
We suggest a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding a near optimal solution to this class of task assignment problems. To the best of our knowledge, this class of APs has not been considered in the literature, probably due to the difficulty of evaluating the performance of a team of agents. Recently, we have developed a formal method for measuring performance of a team which is used in this paper to formulate the objective function of our GA. We analyze the quality of the obtained solution by comparing the result of our GA with (a) the exact solution of some smaller problems, and (b) with the results of the exact solution of specific cases that can be obtained by the Hungarian algorithm. We provide experimental results on efficiency, stability, robustness and scalability of the solution obtained by our GA.
The purpose of this work is to provide simulation-based support for making optimal (or near-optimal) decisions in situations where decision makers are faced with imperfect information. We develop several novel techniques and algorithms for simulation-based optimization and decision support and apply them to two categories of problems: (i) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning in search operations, and; (ii) optimization of business process models. Common features of these two problems for which analytical approaches are not available, are the presence of imperfect information and their inherent complexity.
In the UAV path planning problem, the objective is to define the path of a UAV searching for a target on a known road network. It is assumed that the target is moving toward a goal and we have some uncertain information about the start point of the target, its velocity, and the final goal of the target. The target does not take evasive action to avoid being detected. The UAV is equipped with a sensor, which may detect the target once it is in the sensor's scope. Nevertheless, the detection process is uncertain and the sensor is subject to both false-positive and false-negative errors. We propose three different solutions, two of which are simulation-based. The most promising solution is an on-line simulation-based method that estimates the location of the target by using a Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method. During the entire mission, different UAV paths are simulated and the one is chosen that most reduces the uncertainty about the location of the target.
In the optimization of the business process models, several different but related problems are addressed: (i) we define a measure of performance for a business process model based on the value added by agents (employees) to the process; (ii) we use this model for optimization of the business process models. Different types of processes are distinguished and methods for finding the optimal or near-optimal solutions are provided; (iii) we propose a model for estimating the performance of collaborative agents. This model is used to solve a class of Assignment Problems (AP), where tasks are assigned to collaborative agents; (iv) we propose a model for team activity and the performance of a team of agents. We introduce different collaboration strategies between agents and a negotiation algorithm for resolving conflicts between agents. We compare the effect of different strategies on the output of the team.
Most of the studied cases are complex problems for which no analytical solution is available. Simulation methods are successfully applied to these problems. They are shown to be more general than analytical models for handling uncertainty since they usually have fewer assumptions and impose no restrictions on the probability distributions involved. Our investigation confirms that simulation is a powerful tool for providing decision-making support. Moreover, our proposed algorithms and methods in the accompanying articles contribute to providing support for making optimal and in some cases near-optimal decisions: (i) our tests of the UAV simulation-based search methods on a simulator show that the on-line simulation method has generally a high performance and detects the target in a reasonable time. The performance of this method was compared with the detection time when the UAV had the exact information about the initial location of the target, its velocity, and its path (minimum detection time). This comparison indicated that the online simulation method in many cases achieved a near-optimal performance in the studied scenario; (ii) our business process optimization framework combines simulation with the Hungarian method and finds the optimal solution for all cases where the assignment of tasks does not change the workflow of the process. For the most general cases, where the assignment of tasks may change the workflow, we propose an algorithm that finds near-optimal solutions. In this algorithm, simulation, which deals with the uncertainty in the process, is combined with the Hungarian method and hill-climbing heuristics. In the study of assigning tasks to collaborative agents we suggest a Genetic Algorithm (GA) that finds near-optimal solutions with a high degree of accuracy, stability, scalability and robustness. While investigating the effect of different agent strategies on the output of a team, we find that the output of a team is near-optimal, when agents choose a collaboration strategy that follows the principle of least effort (Zipf's law) and use our suggested algorithm for negotiation and resolving conflicts.
There has always been a need to solve real-life large-scale problems, suchas efficiently allocating limited resources, and other complex and conflicting situations related to combinatorial optimization genre. A class of combinato- rial optimization problems is NP-hard and, among many well-known, several of them are assignment, planning and rescheduling problems. Assignment problems can deal with optimal assignment of teams of collaborating agents; planning problems can be effects-based planning that search for promising plans to get desired end states with minimal cost; rescheduling problems can be multi-criteria optimization of rescheduling resources that modify existing original schedule. These large scale optimization problems are complex with intractable and highly complex search spaces. Currently, there are no known algorithms with polynomial time complexity, which can solve these problems. Genetic Algorithms have been successfully applied to solve many complex optimization problems but not to the specific problems mentioned above.
The aim of the research, presented in this thesis, is to use Genetic Algo- rithms for large scale optimization of assignment, planning and rescheduling problems. More specifically, the contributions of the thesis are to: (i) adapt existing and develop new efficient Genetic Algorithms to solve large scale as- signment problems, and (ii) adapt existing Genetic Algorithms to solve large scale effects-based planning, and multi-objective rescheduling optimization problems.In case of assignment, we solve a team assignment problem and investigate specific regions in a solution space for assignment problems with huge search spaces.
For the team assignment, an existing Genetic Algorithm is adapted and applied for optimal assignment of tasks to teams of collaborating agents. The algorithm is scalable, stable, robust and produces a near optimal solution. The results of the team assignment problem show that the existing Genetic Algorithms are not efficient for optimal assignment of tasks to teams of agents. Hence, to solve larger instances of the problem efficiently, new Genetic Algo- rithms are developed with emphasis on the construction of crossover opera- tors. Since teams assignment can be multi-criteria, a multi-objective model is constructed and two widely used multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are applied. Further, for the assignment problems with huge search spaces, an existing Genetic Algorithm is adapted to extract possible combinations of input parameters from a specified solution space region. To solve the large scale effects-based planning, a multi-objective optimization problem is formu- lated for the evaluation of operational plans and a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is adapted and applied to the problem. The results show that the suggested algorithm is much more efficient than A*. For the rescheduling problem, a multi-objective optimization model for rescheduling of resources is proposed and a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm is adapted and applied to obtain the Pareto-optimal solutions.
The research presented in this thesis confirms that Genetic Algorithms can be used for large scale assignment, planning and rescheduling problems since they have shown to be suitable in solving these problems efficiently.

well the low cost way to go first would be to try and change the trans fluids. If the problems still remains the it may be an internal problem

SOURCE: how to use the overdrive on the auto.transmission.
the overdrive button on your automatic transmission is for cruising on the highway basically like having another gear for better economy careful not to use it when your not on the highway because lugging the car in overdrive when its not needed will cause higher fuel consumption other than that you should have no problems just get out on the highway and push and away you go

SOURCE: I have a 1999 dodge ram with an automatic
Have you replaced the transmission filter and fluid yet,
if your transmission works ok until it heats up,your transmission external cooler may be plugging up getting the transmission fluid to hot and not cooling it at all.It is located in front of your A/C and radiator.you can replace it with an after market one or have it flushed.
and you might want to put in an additive for the transmission made my Lucas.

Over the next few weeks leading up to Red Ribbon Week 2013, NIMCO will be sharing some activity ideas on our blog that teachers and community leaders can use to help students get excited about Red Ribbon Week. Many of these ideas can be incorporated in your school leading up to Red Ribbon Week.
• Create a Red Ribbon Hall of Fame, designate a special wall or create a scrapbook, plaque
or place to display pictures of individuals, groups, businesses, and agencies who have made significant contribution to prevention efforts.
• Do not forget your teachers and administrators, recognize the time and energy they spent
making red ribbon week a success, let the media know about your extra special staff.
• Moms, Dads, and Guardians need recognition too, take time to thank them for being drug-free.
• Write thank you letters to businesses in our community for celebrating Red Ribbon Week and for being strong role models for students in your town.
• Give special recognition awards to individuals and groups who have made outstanding contributions to tobacco, alcohol and other drug use prevention.
"Thank people in your life today that give a good example of being drug-free."
Head over to our website for more Red Ribbon Week information. We also have a page dedicated to the National 2013 Red Ribbon Week Theme "A Healthy Me is Drug Free!" where you can purchase many different promotional items that you can use and pass out to students during Red Ribbon Week Oct. 23-31st.

Stanford University turns out to be as clique-ish as any teachers lounge
This story sounds like it might have taken place in a high school cafeteria or teachers lounge: places where conformity to group-think is frequently required. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who thought universities were places where everyone was genuinely interested in divergent points of view. It turns out that even though academics might process information a bit faster than the average Joe, when it comes to personal politics, they're sometimes as bad as--or worse than-- the mean girls in high school.
I think it's quite likely that Michele Kerr might be wrong in many of her beliefs, but why do other students want to stop the discussion? They should articulate why she's wrong. Also, they could learn something if they seriously considered what she's saying. There are probably gems of truth in her diatribes. Don't throw the baby--free expression and open mindedness--out with the rant water. Kathy Marshall is someone who is expressing opposition to Michele's beliefs. Stanford students should step up to the plate and defend their beliefs, not relying on the power of their clique to do it for them.
They Messed With the Wrong Blogger
By Jay Matthews
Washington Post
July 24, 2009
...[Stanford student Michele Kerr sent an email] to her classmates after the program's director, Rachel Lotan, said some of her fellow teacher trainees found her "domineering and intimidating" and didn't want to sit next to her in class.
"For those of you who wish to continue requesting that you not sit with me in practicum, make sure you mention the reason so that Rachel can build her case for the next time we do our little dance. 'Rachel, I do not want to sit next to Michele in practicum. It has nothing to do with her views; she's just a domineering, overbearing bitch.' DOB. We could print up cards or something. Don't Sit Me Next to the DOB!" she wrote. "I'll continue being me, and those of you who feel uncomfortable can maybe learn how to speak up. Or not. Your call."
Lotan and Eamonn K. Callan, the education school's dean for student affairs... said the email "could have the effect of silencing those who are wary of confronting" Kerr and that she "had not considered that her actions could have a chilling effect on other students, according to an email they sent to Kerr...
She was almost 46, much older than most other STEP program admittees. Single, with a son in college, she had a long career as a business process management consultant, but began to tutor high school students struggling with difficult courses and standardized tests. She found she was good at it. Why not teach full time?
She was pleased that a program as prestigious as Stanford's had room for her...At the open house, a STEP instructor asked if she planned to accept the offer of admission. Anyone else would have said yes. But Kerr, who calls herself "fatally truthful," said the tuition would be difficult to afford and admitted she was philosophically out of sync with the program...According to Kerr, Lotan looked for legal grounds to keep Kerr out, something Kerr said she discovered when another official mistakenly sent her an email that was meant just for Lotan...
The senior university counsel answered, saying Kerr would start the program in June...
But in September, Kerr's blog, "Surviving Stanford," which she had routinely referred to in her STEP classes, became an issue...
STEP's displeasure was so great that Kerr finally took down the blog temporarily, renamed it, eliminated all references to Stanford, and gave it password protection so that only she and a few friends could read it.
That wasn't enough for the STEP folk. Two months later, Lotan wrote that she was concerned that Kerr was "unsuited for the practice of teaching," beginning a process that could have ended in Kerr being denied a teaching credential. Lotan complained that Kerr was late to some Stanford classes, and in turning in assignments.
Kerr learned to her dismay that a student could be denied a credential for any reason--even those that have nothing to do with teaching. Kerr's supervisor told her in late November, without warning, that he was unhappy with her work and gave her low ratings in professionalism, she said. According to Kerr, he said she had lied to him, and made it clear her chances of getting through the program successfully were in jeopardy.
Kerr fought back, demanding proof of the charges. Kerr said the supervisor withdrew the accusation of lying. Lotan admitted that she had no idea if other STEP students were similarly tardy or why some didn't want to sit next to Kerr...

Thanks so much for clearing that up. I have corrected my mistake.
- Maura Larkins said...
I was thinking that perhaps people didn't want to sit next to Michele because they were afraid she'd write about them. She didn't identify students, but others in the class would remember who it was who said a certain thing. My response is the same as Michele's: You are a graduate student a one of the best universities in the world (albeit a teacher education program). Why don't you respond to Michele's comments? Aren't you paying big bucks to expand your mind? I think you should add to the discussion, not try to stop it.

As I continue to work with altered rolodex cards for my art wheel, I experiment with all sorts of ideas and techniques and materials. Lately I've been having fun with gel image transfers. This card/tag starts with papers glued to the card stock, and a stamped image, and then two different layers of gel transfers applied separately. The whole is rubbed with cold wax at the end, and that is when the red stamped heart shapes began to smear. I stopped handling it at that point.
I thought of goose right away for the letter G and when I searched around here I could not find any. Nothing in National Geographic magazine, nothing in my clipping file, or in my clip art books...so I gave up and was just messing around. When I went through a stack of papers I'd received in a paper swap last month, I discovered a hand written letter in an alphabet/language that I know not. There was two chicken scratch drawings of geese. In one image they were kissing and the other holding hands. I knew that I had my geese.Thanks for looking today, and I look forward to viewing your work now, *hugs* Norma, x

Statewide Average Precipitation: *8.86 inches (2nd wettest since 1895)
Statewide Average Temperature: *73.8 (59th coolest since 1895)
Temperatures Mostly Normal Across the State
Temperatures across the state in June 2013 were very different from those observed at the same time last year. While much of North Carolina was dealing with record-breaking temperatures in late June and into early July back in 2012, this year's temperatures were much more tame, as the statewide mean temperature for June 2013 fell in the middle of the pack. While most stations observed very normal temperatures last month, mean temperatures from a few stations ranked June 2013 in the top 10 warmest on record for the month. Locations that ranked in the top 10 warmest and had more than 50 years of observations were in Fletcher, Morehead City, and Cape Hatteras.

Rank is relative to each station's individual period of record.
Ample Precipitation Brings NC Out of Drought
Tropical Storm Andrea passed through North Carolina on June 7th, effectively eliminating the abnormally dry conditions in the eastern part of the state. This marked the first time since April 2010 where no part of NC was experiencing drought. However, the wet pattern continued even after Andrea was long gone. Last month was marred with several storms that brought substantial rainfall all across the state, ultimately ranking June 2013 as the 2nd wettest June on record since 1895! Most stations ranked the month as one of their top 10 wettest on record, with precipitation for all stations across the state ranking in the top 25 wettest. Perhaps most notable are the stations for which total precipitation for June 2013 either broke records, or ranked 2nd. Those stations with a relatively long period of record — 50+ years of observations — are listed below (*indicates a broken record):
- Asheboro (310286): 9.73 inches
- Concord (311975): 14.48 inches*
- Laurinburg (314860): 12.04 inches*
- Lincolnton (314996): 7.72 inches
- Raleigh (317069): 10.08 inches
- Whiteville (319357): 13.47 inches*
- Williamston (319440): 14.43 inches
- Wilmington (319467): 15.86 inches*

Storms Lead to Reports of Flooding, Damage across NC
As previously mentioned, several storms moved across NC last month. These storms brought ample precipitation to the state — often leading to massive amounts of flooding — as well as hail, high winds, and in some cases, tornadoes and funnel clouds. 360 reports of storm damage came in last month as a result of the heavy rains and high winds. These damage reports mostly consisted of downed trees and power lines, with a few reports of minor structural damage. Power outages were widespread after a line of strong storms moved across the state on June 13th, and storms on June 30th brought substantial flooding to parts of the central Piedmont.

Impacts to Agriculture and Water Resources
While the agricultural community would not fair well without rainfall, the high amounts observed in June 2013 posed quite a problem for most farmers across the state. Field work was next to impossible at times, and fertilizers often leached out due to the increased precipitation. The ample rains also made it difficult for the harvesting of wheat and the planting of other crops such as soybeans.
Streamflow values across the state remained well above normal throughout the month, with almost all NC sites reporting values in the 70th percentile or higher. Most groundwater wells showed substantially recovery as well, reporting either normal or above normal values for this time of year.

During quiet time recently, I chose to consciously ascend/expand/journey "higher" than ever before to merge with "my Christedness." It may be beneficial if the reader can let go of preconceived opinions of what "Christedness" or "Christed" means and read about the experience without prejudice. Consider that if one is rigid in one's reality, then one limits what is possible.
I had no idea what the experience would be when I began the process. I breathed myself into alpha consciousness and then affirmed silently, "In the name of Christ, with the power of Christ Divine within me, and with the power, with the light, and with the love of my Inner Divine Spirit, I Angel-Light Decree I Am ascending into my Christedness Now." I continued to deep breathe and imagined my energies expanding higher and higher above my body. Eyes were closed some of the time, but I find that often I can meditate and experience just as well with eyes open, and that was the case for this experience. I continued silently throughout with "ascending into my Christedness now"—over and over again while deep breathing and expanding upward and outward.
I began to see purple light, and then quickly, when I was just about to give up, I saw what seemed to be a veil of transparent purple, separating me from my destination, and I knew I was there. The vision stunned me enough that I lost focus and retreated. Still, the wonderful feelings I came back with were like a dose of medicine. How wonderful! My intention had been to merge with my Christedness. I often center and merge with the Gold Ray of Christ and also center in Christ Consciousness, but merging with my Christedness is a different type of experience. I shall go on that journey at another time.
If one returns from spiritual journeys feeling more alive and aware and/or with additional knowledge, one can consider the meditations worthwhile.

There will be a meeting at 7.00pm on Tuesday 7th January 2014 in the Brookmans Park URC to discuss Brookmans Park residents' response to HCC's consultation on their Waste Sites Allocation Plan. Cathy Roe of HAI will bring us up to date on the Plan, the HCC questionnaire, and the response needed. It is important to show a good response in terms of numbers, if we are to get New Barnfield downgraded from the HCC preferred option as a waste site.
It is anticipated that we will need delivery teams to deliver HAI leaflets door-to-door, and also to man stands in the village centre for a couple of weekends in January. All volunteers welcome.

Adriano Bastos of Brazil will not be back to defend his title in Sunday's Walt Disney World Marathon. Race officials said Bastos, the men's winner who stood out from the crowd for his unusual hairstyle as much as his winning time, told them he was injured and unable to compete this year. Bastos won the 2003 race in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 33 seconds, the fastest finish since 1995.
There will also be a new winner in the women's category as well. Clermont's Bea Marie Altieri, the first Central Florida winner of the Disney Marathon, will be running in the 13.1-mile half marathon but not the full race. She won the 26.2-mile race last year in 2:53.10.

It's often noted that people are drawn to the music of their youth, particularly their teenage years, sometimes to the extent of never again listening to any other kind of music. And that music is inextricably tied into memory, so that's part of the reason why people get stuck in these permanent musical time warps. Part nostalgia, part memory exercise.
I've found that's often true for people who aren't really music fans of any sort. And the greatest irony of the recording industry, and what damages it so much, is that in their time, these people will be the financial engine driving the industry. All those kids buying Top 40 and such. In 10 years, or 20, or 30, most of them won't be listening to any music at all … but they'll have a greatest hits collection on the 2 GB iPod that recall a very set time period hearkening back to their teen years. When I say the music industry is being dragged around by people who don't like music, this is what I mean. It won't take long, less then a decade, to pan out the people who really love music and go on buying it for years from the people who won't. And the people who really love music and go on buying it will be considered virtually invisible and worthless by the recording industry at large, as they're a much smaller marketing segment than senseless kids buying Top 40 crap. It's a short-sighted cycle of self destruction for an industry that needs paying fans desperately.
But I'm more interested here in memory. I'm not consciously aware of listening to older music from my youth as some form of nostalgia. I listen to it because I like it. Because decades later, it still sounds good. I don't sit around pining for "lost youth." I don't listen to this music exclusively. I don't really keep score. But I'll always find myself popping over to certain folders and knocking out some old Joe Walsh songs.
Do I think that music is better than music now? Honestly, sometimes I do. There's a lot more care taken in the vocals, particularly. And more time and money spent in the studio working on a sound. In pure pop/rock context, a lot of that music, simply stated, is a superior version of music that came afterwards, and the genre hasn't grown or changed all that much over the years.
I know it's a crime to say that for some music fans – you can't acknowledge that music from your past is somehow better than music of the present – but I don't feel any need to kiss that ass. There is still good music being made. Constantly. A never-ending stream from which I'm forever pulling new inspiration. And this isn't apples (the past) and oranges (the present). I go on an artist-by-artist basis more than a time frame, and back in the 60s and 70s, a lot of great artists were in their prime. And I'm far from a lazy, middle-aged, pop-rock fan. I listen to a lot of new music (most of which goes right by me), across all genres, and I keep literally thousands of new tracks that range anywhere from good to great by my estimation. (The thing is, the great ones, will generally not be from great albums, from an artist not consistently putting out great albums. Maybe that's what I'm getting at: consistency over a period of time as opposed to one-off shots of greatness. I'm used to the concept of artists having great bodies of work (or at least one astounding three-album run) … not a few stand-out songs over the course of albums.
It's not a burning issue with me. I'm more interested in the concept of memory and how it ties into songs. What I want to do here is list out a few of those songs for me. The song, and what it means to me personally. May not have anything to do with the song, but something to do with my life. Supposedly the kind of thing people my age (in their 40s) do all the time … but this represents a very small fraction of my listening time and intent. Which doesn't really matter, because I'm invisible anyway!
"Strange Magic" by Electric Light Orchestra. I don't know why, but this song reminds me of summer, and mowing lawns. It's a summer song. I should be thinking of romance, ocean breezes, a full moon. No. I think of bermuda shorts, tube socks, the smell of gasoline, pulling the chord on the lawn mower engine, watching the rows of grass fall in my geometrical progression, the smell of freshly-mown lawn and a $20 bill in my hand.
"Say You Love Me" by Fleetwood Mac. Another summer song, but this song reminds me of driving in the station wagon with my family, windows down, and we're on a stretch of highway between Lavelle and Gordon, PA, the back road. We can smell the cow manure in the fields, over-powering at times. Sunlight, heat coming off the fields in waves, corn stalks, maybe even a pinwheel hanging out the window. We're probably on our way to the public swimming pool at Hegins, down in farm country.
"Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel. Lifting weights in the basement. Those cheap vinyl weights filled with cement. A shitty, no-frills weight bench bought at Sears (it's still down there). No matter how much I lifted weights as a kid, I never got bigger. (Now I wish I could reverse the process, as I could easily make myself the size of a house with weights!) Stuck in my head because Brother M was playing this to death on his basement sound system, while he sat a few feet away, smoking and listening. I still don't know how I managed to work out with someone smoking a few feet away from me, which happened routinely with us. The basement was his teenage domain, but I had no place else to exercise in the house. An uneasy truce. He didn't like me being down there, but I didn't bother him either.
"Love Will Keep Us Together" by the Captain & Tenille. My favorite song when I was 11 years old. Not the New York Dolls. Or Roxy Music. Or Led Zep. I was 11! This was the one song I recall listening to the radio constantly to hear, and I'd go nuts when I heard it. I never pasted myself to a radio like that before or since. I still think it's pretty good for what it is. Only other song that had a similar effect on me as a pre-teen youth was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.
"Mistral Wind" by Heart. There are any number of Heart songs and albums I could pick for this, but all those mid-70s Heart songs take me back to Brother M's car with the eight-track player. And driving around Point Pleasant, NJ on one of our summer visits. The ocean. Probably should have picked "Dreamboat Annie" as that's surely the main connection. But when the drums and electric guitar kick in on this song, that's like a time machine to a sandy beach road and the smell of the ocean circa late 70s.
"Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. This song vividly brings back my second grade talent contest, in which all of us had to participate, and 80% of us did this song. Me, too. I was terrible. Chubby kid. Wearing red polyester checked pants. Skin tight in a bad way. Some florid dress shirt. Earth shoes and white socks. Dancing like The Brady Bunch in one of their show appearances. Warbling out this silly song in a cracking soprano as I tried not to shit those polyester pants. I suspect if this had been filmed and I saw it today, I'd go on a shooting spree.
"The Loco-Motion" by Grand Funk Railroad. Some nights in summer, kids would get together in a backyard with one of those Panasonic Hand-Pump Eight Track players, plug it in, and we'd get into our pajamas and dance in front of a blanket on a clothes line … the catch being all the other kids would have flashlights and would be shaking them wildly at the kids dancing, which would create a strobe-light effect. "The Loco-Motion" was the key song for this. I also recall another incident, while out collecting money for the Little League, in my uniform with all the other kids, doing our sweep through all the houses out on the main highway, this song came blasting out of a backyard, and when I went around to investigate, it was one of the girls from my class, dancing wildly in platform shoes, Daisy Dukes and a halter top in her backyard to this song … it gave me wood! So, there I was, with a hard-on in my Little League uniform, and this girl looks me straight in the eye and smiles as I peer around the corner of her house.
"Convoy" by C.W. McCall. All the kids in the neighborhood were carrying on about this song before I heard it. Carrying on so much that I thought I had to rush out and buy it to fit in. When I was buying it at Boscovs, one of the big mouths in our neighborhood was there by chance with his parents and saw me buying it – he somehow knew by the record label alone (think it was MGM with that lion's head on it). Didn't matter – he probably thought I was cool for doing so. But I rushed home. Pulled out the portable record player and plugged it into an outlet in the kitchen, I was so excited to hear it. And this hillbilly, piece of shit comes spilling out the tinny speakers! I was slackjawed. This stupid fucking song … they were carrying on about this like it was the coolest thing since Jimmy Page? I think that's when I stopped chasing after whatever was deemed cool by other kids, recognizing other kids tended to be assholes.
"Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers. We played sports constantly in our neighborhood. Invariably someone would have a portable radio. Whenever "Black Water" came on, a kid in the neighborhood, George, would start singing the song scat-style in a strangely accurate Louis Armstrong voice, particularly that vocal breakdown part ("Take me by the hand pretty momma/Dance with your daddy all night long"). This song always makes me think of that 8-10 year old kid pulling off that perfect gargling baritone voice Louis Armstrong was famous for.
"Just When I Needed You Most" by Randy VanWarmer. This song doesn't represent a memory so much as a realization. It was, what, summer of 1979? Well into my teen years, far into really good pop music like The Beatles, Kinks and Stones from the 60s, and Bowie, ELO, Queen and others from the 70s, the beginnings of punk and new wave with The Ramones, Elvis Costello, The Clash … so this song comes on the radio, and I love it! But can't admit to loving it. It's 1979. Man, I'm changing. Can't have any more of this 70s ballad fluff. There were other songs like this that I couldn't acknowledge liking in front of fellow teenage rock fans ("Heart of Glass" by Blondie and various ABBA hits), but this one really stuck in my craw for some reason. And just look at this guy in the video! That's what 90% of all white males looked like in the 70s, and I was no exception.
Maybe it's because I left this genre just when I needed it most? Nah. I'd go on in my teen years to be a sappy, lovestruck wimp a few times over, in ways that make this song come off like "Slow Ride" by Foghat. The strange thing about Youtube links: they let you know you're not alone. When people aren't carrying on like mental patients or pricks, they tend to be reflective in ways that can be overly trite, but they're also just noting, this song floored them at a certain point in their lives. Could be a terrible song, which most seem loathe to acknowledge, but it doesn't really matter. As noted, this type of listening experience represents such a small fraction of why I listen to music. And half the time, the memory is embarrassing! So maybe it's good that I tie in memories of humiliation and awkwardness with youth, as opposed to glorification?
