5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
From A Cup to DD - Norfolk, VA
My doctor was great he knew what needed to be done and he did a great job no scars. I'm so happy I chose him.

35 Yo, 5'3" 110 Lb Mother of 2 Breastfed Babies (37 Months Total!) - Norfolk, VA
Dr. Schnarrs and his staff have been wonderful throughout the entire process of having my breast augmentation performed. They are professional and courteous, and it helps that Dr. Schnarrs is an expert in breast reconstruction (both cosmetic as well as post-mastectomy reconstruction), so I feel that I am in the best of hands. I am thrilled with my outcome and recommend him highly to anyone in the Coastal Virginia region.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Removal
Removing my Breast Implants - Norfolk, VA
I was very happy with Dr Scharrns, very positive and experienced.
5 out of 5 stars Liposuction
Liposuction Palooza
Dr Schnarrs has done repair surgery on my breast after another docter did a horrible job also resulting in the implants falling. He has done excellent work on me and many of my friends. I have personally seen the work of this physician and I must say he is a skilled artist among other things. I had some serious issues with my breast and this doctor did miracles with what he had to re-do. I will be eternally grateful to him.

Dr.'s. Robert Schnarrs & Claire Carman My PC Referred me to one of my surgeons Dr. Carman, breast specialist ,and Dr. Carman pairs with Dr. Schnarrs of the Hague Center for Cosmetics. I believe that the both of them are excellent doctors. I'm grateful to my PC for referring to Dr. Carman, otherwise I may not be so excited about my results. I would encourage anyone in the hamptonroads area to contact either of their facilities for their needs.

MONROE - Longtime Monroe County Commissioner Gail Hauser-Hurley announced last night she plans to run for the 55th district seat being vacated by State Rep. Gene DeRossett (R., Manchester).
She will not seek a seventh consecutive term on the county board this year. Mrs. Hauser-Hurley, 49, represents a county commission district that includes Erie Township and the eastern portions of Bedford Township.
Mr. DeRossett, who has served two terms in the House, announced several weeks ago he will seek a third consecutive term from the 52nd district, where he lives, instead of the 55th district, which includes western Monroe County and portions of southeastern Washtenaw County.
Mrs. Hauser-Hurley, who is making her first run for state office, becomes the first Democrat to enter the race. Republicans Matt Milosh of Lambertville and Pittsfield Township Supervisor Bill Dean have begun to campaign for the position.

Except it didn't seem as "grown up" when she had to hide it from her parents in their refrigerator.Advertisement Farrah does seem a little too preoccupied with finding a new boyfriend, but if she's determined to do that, than at least she's decided to take her reproductive health into consideration, so that she doesn't make the same mistake twice. While her parents are always getting on her back about her lack of maturity, it kind of seems like maybe she'd grow up a little faster if they didn't treat her like such a child—especially when she's making choices that will specifically help to prevent more problems for her. Meanwhile, one of the other young mothers featured on the show—Maci—seems like she's grown up overnight, and has surpassed the maturity level of the father of her child, although he is five years older than she.Reply278 repliesLeave a reply

Born to a witch mother, Rafe always knew he had to keep that fact a secret for if it were discovered by his fellow vampires, it would not only make him an outcast, but could very well be his death warrant. As long as history has been recorded, witches and vampires have been mortal enemies and never once has a halfling been allowed to live. His entire world was turned upside down when a witch called Morgan manages, against all odds, to weasel her way into his vampire clan. For months, she threatens to expose him unless he agrees to go back to her coven to meet his mother, but Rafe is able to hold her at bay while still keeping his secret. He also manages to fight the ever growing desire he feels for the small slip of a witch. Then one day a warlock named Dominic shows up, claiming that Rafe is the key to saving the world. Even though Rafe wants to deny the stranger's claims, events and signs all show he's not lying. Finally Rafe knows he can no longer deny the truth, nor can he deny his desire to possess Morgan—and Dominic.

Stars of Vaudeville #170: The Gumm Sisters (Judy Garland)
Originally posted in 2010.
One of the two or three major factors that led your author to the subject of vaudeville was a childhood obsession with the film The Wizard of Oz. Almost all of the major cast members were vaudeville veterans: Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Charley Grapewin (Uncle Henry) and Singer's Midgets. Judy Garland, 16 at the time of her casting, had spent ten of her 13 years in show business on the vaudeville stage.
This was possible because she was born in a vaudeville family and grew up in a vaudeville house. At the time of her birth in 1922, her father Frank Gumm, a singer, and her mother Ethel, a piano player, were managing (and performing at) the New Grand Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The couple had toured for years as "Jack and Virgina Lee, Sweet Southern Singers", but settled down to raise their three daughters. It was natural for Mary Jane, Dorothy and Frances to join their parents onstage. Frances' (Judy's) debut came at age 3, when she sang 7 choruses of "Jingle Bells", to wild acclaim.
The family formed an act out of the Gumm Sisters, with Ethel as manager. They toured for a couple of years, then, in 1927, made the Los Angeles area their new home base, in the obvious hope that they'd get into pictures. Their first big break was a 1928 booking in the Meglin Kiddie's Review at Loew's State Theatre. "Baby" Gumm was by now the star of the act and was doing solo numbers and a Fanny Brice impression by this point. The act played all over the west, did shots on radio and Vitaphone shorts.
George Jessel is credited with giving them their new stage name. At a 1931 booking at Detroit's Oriental Theatre where he was M.C., the girls were mistakenly billed as the "Glum Singers". Jessel noted that "Gumm" wasn't much better, and suggested they take the last named of NY drama critic Robert Garland.
In 1934, "Frances" decided to become Judy, which she took from a favorite Hoagy Carmichael song. At this time, the Garland Sisters had a weekly gig at the Wilshire-Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, which is where scouts from MGM spotted her. That year Louis B. Mayer announced, "We have just signed a baby Nora Bayes."
This was an apt characterization, for, just like Bayes, Garland combined an incredible voice with an uncanny gift to carry the emotional content of a song. She "acted" the song. Such intensity must be incredibly draining; it no doubt contributed to Garland's emotional problems later in life.
After a couple of years cooling the heels of her patent leather shoes at MGM, Garland began to get cast. Classics include the Andy Hardy series with Mickey Rooney (late 30s—early 40s), The Wizard of Oz (1939), Babes in Arms (1939), Strike Up the Band (1940), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), Easter Parade (1948), A Star is Born (1954), and dozens more. In 1951 she headlined the revival of two-a-day vaudeville at the Palace. Originally booked for 4 weeks, Garland and the show were held over by popular demand for 19 weeks.
Garland's last years were characterized by breakdowns, failed marriages, drug problems, collapses, and cancelled engagements, eventually ending in her unfortunate death by drug overdose in 1969. But the memory of how she was at her peak continues to endear her to millions of devoted fans.
Distinguished Progeny: Judy's daughters Liza Minelli and Lorna Luft carry on the Gumm family tradition to this day.
Here's rare footage of all three sisters in action:

Premier League: Mario Balotelli can become a Liverpool star, says Steven Gerrard
By Lyall Thomas
Last Updated: 31/08/14 9:52am
Steven Gerrard insists the stage is set for Mario Balotelli to become a star at Liverpool - now it is up to him to take his chance.
The Italy striker, 24, is set to make his debut at Tottenham this weekend, live on Sky Sports' Super Sunday, and complete a sensational return to the Premier League after two years at AC Milan.
Reds captain Gerrard admits they have had to make adjustments in the dressing room to welcome Balotelli – known for his eccentric and sometimes controversial character on and off the pitch.
But Gerrard says the club will support his every need and provide him with a platform to become their next goalscoring talisman.
"What about Mario? Does he want to grab it? Does he want to become a star at Liverpool?," Gerrard questioned in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News HQ.
"The support is waiting to get behind him and push him and it's all about whether he wants it or not. I believe he's capable.
"We know what type of character he is and that needs a bit of support, but he belongs to us now so it's up to me, the players and the staff to look after him and make sure we give him a platform to perform.
"We've not had too much of his character yet – only a few minor changes in the dressing room, like the music changing and a few little alterations we've had to make. But we're fine (with the way he is).
"I'm looking forward to seeing what reaction he gets from the Liverpool supporters because, for me, they're the best in the world."
Liverpool have endured a sluggish start to the season so far, scraping a narrow win at home to Southampton on the opening day before losing 3-1 at Manchester City last weekend.
And Gerrard said: "It's going to be very difficult to improve on last season because if we do we'll be champions.
"Last season we were terrific consistency wise, we had a small group of players and we were on a wave of confidence and belief. But it's gone now. We've got to move on.
"The problem is; everyone else has brought really well. The league is going to be a lot more difficult to compete in this year."
"But I believe we will compete and be up there come the end and that's because the manager has bought well. I think we'll get stronger as the season goes on again."
Tottenham v Liverpool is live on Sky Sports 1HD from 12.30pm on Sunday.

'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 10 Recap: Meet the Top 20
Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
It's time for the
So You Think You Can Dance
big reveal: what will Cat Deeley be wearing? I am betting on something sparkly. No, it's finally time to meet the Top 20 dancers! The dancers survived a grueling week of auditions in Vegas, and are so agonizingly close to joining the
So You Think You Can Dance
live shows.
First, each dancer will endure a long walk to face the judges and hear their fate. Did each dancer do enough to make it to the live shows and compete to become America's favorite dancer? We will have the answers soon.
'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 10: Meet the Top 20 Dancers
Get ready to meet the Top 20! This is the
So You Think You Can Dance
An Injury Derails a Dancer
Cat Deeley is in something sparkly. Wonderful! The resident judges, Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, are joined by Adam Shankman. He thinks Cat Deeley looks like a giant disco ball. I agree, but in a good way.
Du-Shaunt "Fik-Shun" Stegall is up first. He makes it! So does
Emilo "Millie" Dosal
does not get a spot. Blonde hip-hop dancer
gets good news from tWitch.
"Fik-Shun" and Mariah perform a Luther Brown hip-hop routine. I like it, but it doesn't really deliver the fireworks. Emilio Dosal has to withdraw due to an injury. It looks like "Fik-Shun" has a crush on Mariah!
Contemporary Dances
Next up is the contemporary dancers' category.
Makenzie Dustman
, from the LA auditions, is the first to learn her fate. She is in! She is also one of my top picks.
Jasmine Harper
also joins the top 20.
Ryan Johnson
receives bad news -- he did not make it this year. Two other female contemporary dancers are also sent home.
Tucker Knox
, the dancer who survived the car accident and severe injuries, and
are sent in together. Tucker and Nico both make it.
The four contemporary dancers perform a Stacy Tookey routine which is lovely and dream-like. I really enjoy this dance. Tucker cries at the end of the dance as he is overcome with emotion. Makenzie receives the most raves.
Tap Dance
The three tappers are next to hear the news.
Alexis Juliano
is in the top 20!
Curtis Holland
also gets good news.
, who was cut before the top 20 last year, is understandably anxious. He is sent home -- again. As number 11 on the mens' list, Aaron is added to the top 20 after Emilio's injury.
The tappers perform a fun and engaging Anthony Morijarto (sorry about the spelling!) number.
Oh, and Nigel Lythgoe informs us that National Dance Day is July 27 so get your dancing shoes ready, people! Mary Murphy adds them to the hot tamale train.
Six spots remain for the male top 20 dancers. The animators
Jade Zuberi
Dorian "BluPrint" Hector
are up next. They battled each other in Las Vegas for the chance to continue in the competition before they were both put through. Jade makes it in! So does "Bluprint."
They dance together in an awesome Christopher Scott number, and the audience goes wild.
Even More Contemporary Dances
More contemporary dancers are up next.
pretends to vomit on Cat Deeley. (Yes, really.) He makes it into the top 20 dancers.
David Lorenzo
does not make the cut.
Hayley Erbert,
who auditioned in Austin, is in.
Malece Miller
is next in to see the judges. She survived being dropped on her head in Vegas, and makes it to the top 20.
Mia Michaels choreographs a moody contemporary routine for Carlos, Hayley and Malece around some chairs. It is over the top and dramatic.
Ballroom Dancing
Bring on the ballroom dancers!
Serge and Britney
, who auditioned together, learn the news together. Serge is sent home, and Britney makes the top 20.
Jenna Johnson
, who is one of my picks, moves on! So does
Paul Karmiryan
. The Bersten brothers are facing only one open male ballroom spot.
Alan Bersten
makes the top 20, and
Gene Bersten
is sent home. Mary Murphy is crying when she gives the news.
The ballroom dance number is choreographed by Louis VanAmstel. Adam Shankman praises the girls, as does Nigel Lythgoe.
There are just two spots left, and six girls waiting to learn their fate.
Amy Yakima
, who auditioned in Detroit, is up first. Nigel Lythgoe tells her that she is a "beast" and that she is in the top 20.
Marisa, Tessa and Gaby
are sent home. The final opening goes to
Meghan Branch
Jasmine Mason
. They both auditioned for season 9 and did not make the top 20. Jasmine Mason is in, and Meghan is sent home. Jasmine and Amy perform a Sonya Tyre number that is very athletic and dramatic.
The Top 20 Perform
The top 10 male dancers perform a Christopher Scott hip-hop number that uses sand, which the dancers are supposed to control. The routine is creative and a bit confusing, but the guys kill it.
The top 10 women perform a number from Ray Leeper that is based on the "mod" era. The lights, costumes and dancers' movements are almost psychedelic. They bring the house down!
And finally, the top 20 perform together for the first time. Sonya Tayeh choreographs a number that she considers "challenging." Oh no!! I am slightly worried for the dancers. They are shrouded in mist as they begin dancing. I like this number. It has drama, strength and also an elegant quality. It is shaping up to be a mind-blowing season!
So You Think You Can Dance

People run in front of me all the time and rarely are injured, much less killed.
You should run more and lose the caboose then.

Trail Dog
Yep, I was just going to post this...
2-3 weeks ago there was another person killed by a train around here. They are amazingly frequent. A husband was dropping his wife off at the train station across the tracks from where she needed to be. They were running late. She told him that she could make the train, he said please don't. She ran right out in front of the train and was killed in front of her husband.
It happens a lot up this way too (Toronto). The GO transit trains are remarkably quiet, especially when powering down on approach. Too many people think trains have this ability to stop in time or go around them somehow. I can't imagine the horror of being a driver/engineer and having to deal with this situation, seeing someone on the tracks ahead and not being able to do anything about it.
I wear cutoff jeans everyday I go for a run, ...
Okay, I guess you deserved the ticket after all.

I want to do it because I want to do it. -Amelia Earhart
Admittedly not knowing the full details of this but not only 'who runs with their driver's license' but also who would willingly offer it up while running? "Sorry occifer, but I don't carry my driver's license when I run."
Lying to a cop is probably not a good idea.
Hoodoo Guru
I run ON the train tracks for a short (1/4 mile maybe) distance about once a week. My alternative is to run on the side of a busy two lane road with no shoulder. I know that it is illegal. I assume I'll get busted someday. I hope I'll get off with a warning. They'll have to take my word on my identity though, or take my RoadID as I don't carry my DL.
The tangents are moot.
The real reason you got a ticket for a 500' tresspass on RR property VVVVVV
I wear cutoff jeans everyday I go for a run, thus there's plenty of room for storage in them. And carrying some extra personal possessions with me doesn't bother me at all. When it comes to other runners in the Chicago area, I wonder why they're constantly wearing sweatpants in this town? That's something I never run with. I felt just fine without them today.

One more thing: Putting those 2 words in the same sentence? Oxymoron.

OK, I'm guessing it wasn't actually a trespass ticket and that wasn't rail police.
Sincere question: Did the police officer look like the guy on the right? If so, it was the fashion police and you got busted for running in cutoffs.
I think this is the best thing all week. Thanks all for the entertainment.
Oh and to the OP: pay the fine, you were in the wrong, get over it. Next time run in one of Chicago's fine parks.
jez: I've got some issues
I've heard numerous similar tales of tax collection on runners. I am still completely baffled why anybody would stop and talk to these yahoos. Maybe if I was dumb enough to let them follow me to my house I would feel obligated, otherwise....catch me if you can fatty!
Chicago lawyer here. I don't do criminal work, but I can offer some informed observations. Unfortunately, it doesn't really look like you have a leg to stand on. The criminal trespass to property law is pretty straight-forward (720 ILCS 5/21-3). You might be able to make some headway if you can show that there were no signs posted. Other than that, you've basically admitted your guilt.
Your real beef seems to be that the police officer should have exercised his discretion to let you off with a warning. You have every right to your opinion about how law enforcement should carry out their responsibilities, but that won't get you very far in court. Its up to law enforcement agencies and the individual officer -- not the judge -- to make those decisions. Indeed, it may well be that the individual officer was operating under a "no leniency" directive from his superiors, especially in light of the recent death of a pedestrian on Metra tracks. The officer might have lost his job if he let you go without a citation. Judges tend not to second-guess prosecutorial decisions, although the circumstances here will hopefully guide the judge to select the lower end of the range of possible fines.
As far as the drivers license thing is concerned, you might have actually caught a huge break. Illinois is among a minority of states with a bond requirement, and the law gives law enforcement very little discretion in this area. Surrender of your drivers license happens to be one of the statutory methods of posting bond. If you hadn't had your drivers license you might have been escorted to the police station to post a $75 cash bond. Personally I think its a stupid law, but that's the fault of the state legislature and governor, not the Metra officer who issued the citation.
Good luck, and I hope you'll keep us posted about what happens.
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.
Reading the thread title makes me think the OP has been ticketed while running elsewhere. Maybe that's why he carries his DL.
levitation specialist
The keeping the license part bugs me. That's the only photo ID I have--I use it at the bank, at the beer store (when I'm lucky enough to still get carded), etc. It's not just for driving!
Maybe he thought you would run, given your past history
I know, I know. Couldn't help myself.

We love the Pandora Internet Radio. If you haven't heard of Pandora before it's a "free" Internet radio station that plays music based on the kind of music you already like listening to, with a technology that matches music genes, sort of like DNA fingerprinting. In all the while we have used Pandora it has kept us entertained well with music that we love listening to with just one small problem - the browser window that remains on the desktop glaring at us.
But finally we have found the answer to that problem as well - an interesting Task tray application hack for Pandora by Daniel Mackey that keeps Pandora running as a taskbar icon instead of a browser window. Highly recommended if you use or plan to listen to Pandora. It can be downloaded from here.
Being a geek it's almost pretty much impossible to be not excited about things you can build. Here's a slick one that caught our eye.
The project is to build a compass with a CD and a small magnet. At last something old CD's can be used for isn't it? :) Grab the instructions from here.
"Have an old hard drive that no longer works? As long as it still spins up chances are you could build a clock out of your old hard drive!". That's right, here's way to finally put those old megabytes to use. It requires a bit of electronic experience, but it's a pretty cool thing to build. Here's a video of it working.
Get the schematics and other details from here
If you want a quick homemade hack & don't want to spend some bucks n buy an Infrared webcamera like the Kinemax infrared webcamera then here's an easy way to convert your existing webcam into an infrared camera and take videos & stills in nightvision mode. The process is not very complicated but it does require a little bittle of disassembly.
A great idea for some neat shots, like the rainbow in the picture above, which is barely visible in the normal camera mode but appears as a big bright line with the IR modification.
If you want to surf privately and anonymously at pretty much any place without installing any software try TorPark.
Download Torpark, put it on a USB Flash keychain/drive, plug it into any internet terminal whether at home, school, or public and run Torpark.exe to launch a Tor circuit connection, which creates an encrypted tunnel from your computer indirectly to a Tor exit computer, allowing you to surf the internet anonymously, without any one knowing which sites or locations you are visiting. The Tor service also allows you to reach sites that are blocked by your corporate/school firewall & access control systems.
The software and the anonymizer service "Tor" is completely free for use.

Oregon Education Tax Credit (2009 & 2011)
0The Oregon Education Tax Credit Coalition (ORED) aims to help all Oregon k-12 children get a better education. ORED works to empower parents to find the best education for their children by creating the Rose Friedman Educational Opportunity Tax Credits. Education tax credits can empower more families to pay for tutoring, better supplies, or tuition.
What is a Tax Credit?
A tax credit is not a deduction (which reduces your taxable gross income). A state tax credit is taken directly out of the income taxes you owe the State of Oregon. FOR EXAMPLE: If your state income tax is $3,000 and you qualify for a tax credit of $1,000, you owe the State of Oregon only $2,000.
What are the Rose Friedman Educational Opportunity Tax Credits?
This legislation would create two tax credits:
1) The Oregon Family Education Tax Credit: A personal tax credit of $1,000 (per child) for any educational expenses including tuition, school supplies, tutoring, etc.
2) The Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit. A tax credit for donations made to a tuition scholarship organization that gives scholarships to
low-income students, or students with disabilities.
Opportunity Scholarship Limits:
Up to $1,000 per Oregon taxpayer ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly).
Up to $8,000 for Oregon Businesses (Maximum credit based on $10,000 donation).
Who qualifies for this tax credit?
Any taxpayer with a child from K-12 may qualify for the Oregon Family Education Tax Credit.
Any Oregon taxpayer or business that pays taxes would qualify for the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit.
Who qualifies for the scholarships?
Tax Credit donations would be collected by state-approved scholarship granting organizations who would be required to give all their scholarships to low-income students and/or students with special needs.
The special needs scholarship would be income limited.
This legislation would:
- Help every family in Oregon that is spending money to educate our future citizens.
- Ensure that our most vulnerable children in Oregon get the high-quality education they deserve.
- Generate millions of NEW dollars for the education of Oregon's children from Oregon corporations.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The Justice Department on Wednesday announced a $335 million settlement with Bank of America Corp. over alleged discriminatory lending practices by its Countrywide Financial Corp. unit during the build up to the financial crisis of 2008.
In the stock market, U.S. financial stocks bounced back to close higher after major banks weakened early on word of new proposed regulation.
The Wall Street Journal reported that banks like Citi and J.P. Morgan will be required to limit the ties to one another in the credit markets.
Bank bonus: ECB tapped for €490 billion
European Banks took €490 Billion from the European Central Bank's Long Term Refinancing Operation. Could this provide the turning point in the euro-zone crisis?
According to the report, net credit exposures between the biggest banks would be limited to 10% of a company's regulatory capital. Read WSJ.com on the planned new rules
Citi C, +0.15% Bank of America BAC, -0.34% and J.P. Morgan JPM, -0.29% all saw their shares finish up less than 1%.
As for BofA's legal trouble, The settlement, the largest of its kind in DOJ history, involves more than 200,000 qualified African-American and Hispanic borrowers and loans made to them between 2004 and 2008, according to Justice Department Attorney General Eric Holder.
Elsewhere, shares of investment firm Fortress Investment Group LLC FIG, -0.13% also managed to finish higher after its CEO Daniel Mudd said he will take a leave of absence from the firm. The company did not say why Mudd was taking the action, but it was revealed last week that Mudd and several other former executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are facing civil charges from the SEC.
Mudd is a former CEO of Fannie Mae.
In the broader sector, the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF XLF, -0.48% which tracks the financial stocks in the S&P 500 SPX, +0.14% nudged higher to 12.79 points.
Delphi Financial Group Inc.'s DFG shares leaped after the Nikkei business daily reported that Japan's Tokio Marine would acquire the insurance company for nearly $2.7 billion.
Delphi rose more than 70%.
Shares of Jefferies Group Inc. JEF fell 4% to close at $13.92. The move follows a 23% rally in the shares during the previous session. News on Tuesday of the firm's fourth-quarter financial results, and its decision to trim its balance sheet in a rough market, buoyed the shares.

*Update 2011: The website which sold these props is no longer on the web. But I'm keeping these images up for Posterity!!!*
A Lovely omni replica made of clay is now up for sale for only $40.00. That's not breaking the bank too much, right? But make sure you look at the specifics first. It comes in the box. It doesn't open, it's about the size of a half dollar. Comes in brass or silver paint.
Here is another one, which is very amateurish, and surprisingly costs more than the one above. This omni however, opens up, but the design is not aesthetically pleasing. It looks like a piece of candy you want to pop in your mouth. Now there's an idea, Omni shaped Caramels!
And of course there is the Pewter 'V' pendants! These things are very cute. Scroll down and you'll see it for $14.95, and maybe even some other shows and things you like too.

text: UK to EU: Give Us a BreakMatt Hardigree11/02/07 11:30amFiled to: NewsAston MartinBentleyBritainEnvironmentEuLaws17EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkBritain's Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly is none-to-pleased with the EU's plans for a 125g/km carbon dioxide limit for all new cars from 2015. Porque? According to Kelly, the onus it puts on car manufacturers that sell only a few high emission cars (Aston Martin/Bentley) is unfair. It may not be a problem for the Seats and Citroens of this world, but Britain still has a few small marques. This isn't America, so she's not asking for all emission standards to be thrown out of the window. She merely wants a target date to be 2020 or 2025 so that smaller manufacturers can prepare for the stricter standards. And by prepare, one can only hope that she means an Aston Martin Hybrid Estate, Bentley Continental Hatch or other brand dilution that results in a cheaper ride.[What Car]Reply17 repliesLeave a reply

It's funny, really: Wisconsin taxpayers pay Althouse to teach (comparison with tuition at nearby non-government schools shows at least half of her compensation is extracted from the taxpayers by threat of force) yet she feels absolutely no kinship, much less solidarity with these others -- mostly women -- also paid by Wisconsin taxpayers to teach.
- Chip S. said...
fls, I don't think that professors at highly ranked public universities generally feel much kinship with K-12 teachers. It's not that surprising, really, since they compete against faculty at other top universities (including private ones) for jobs and journal acceptances.

While we all feel tribal affiliations, I like to think that most of us at least try to base our opinions less on which group we feel "kinship" with than on which side has the better argument. I'm not saying we always succeed. But if I were making an appeal to tribe rather than an appeal to reason, I would be inclined to make it subtle - ideally, to make it look like an appeal to reason. If only so the mark can delude himself that he's making a rational decision.
From Meade's comment, maybe our hostess feels kinship with the best teachers who produce the most well-trained graduates and less kinship with the teachers who call in sick so they can march to preserve their sinecures until their pensions vest. I don't know what Professor Althouse's opinion of merit pay is, but I know I would feel a great deal of solidarity for anyone clamoring for it.
Not because it's a good idea, mind you - just because I would know that those people would be part of my ingroup. - 3/1/11, 1:23 AM

Governor Walker kicks obama in the nut sack:
"I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.
"Furthermore, I'm sure the President knows that we have repeatedly praised the more than 300,000 government workers who come to work every day in Wisconsin.

Rev: I was just shaking my head at the thought that teaching K-12 was a sinecure.
But on that subject: Which teaching job is more like a sinecure?
Job A:
In front of a class 30 hours a week.
Grade 300 final exams a year, along with midterms, quizzes, homework, etc.
Parents demand individual attention, grub for grades, etc.
Have to take days off to protest at the Capitol during the school year.
Job B:
In front of a class 6 hours a week.
Grade 200 final exams a year: no grading of midterms, quizzes, homework, etc.
Only the most helicopter of parent would dare interfere.

Job A: requires Bachelor's degree (typically 4-5 years after high school).
Job B (in my case, can't speak for Althouse): requires a Ph.D. (that was 11 years after high school), postdoctoral training preferred (almost six more years in my case). Anymore, it's postdoctoral work required. Care to guess what my average annual income was for those 17 years of post-high school education and training required to even apply for my current job? - 3/1/11, 9:49 AM

Seven years to get a PhD? One of my EE profs did it in three. Of course he had a wife and children, so he couldn't spend years living in a room with cinder block bookcases and a cable reel for a dinner table.

Supply and demand. Many glamor jobs are poorly paid yet require years of training. You're lucky you weren't a ballerina.

"Seven years to get a PhD?"
Not at all unheard of, but in my case it was five. I also obtained an M.S. degree in Applied Science with Chemical Engineering concentration. Nobody in our department (Biochemistry) did it in three. I knew one person that did it in four. When it comes to how living cells work (and how to efficiently kill them when they've gone rogue), Mother Nature guards her secrets most jealously. The Chem. Eng. Ph.D. would have supposedly taken three years.
"Supply and demand. Many glamor jobs are poorly paid yet require years of training. You're lucky you weren't a ballerina."
Quite correct. But you must also understand that, unlike a Ph.D. in Philosophy, there is a certain demand for people with my qualifications in industry. I actually had a choice. I chose academia fully aware of both the disadvantages as well as the advantages (some of which you seem to take issue with). Without those advantages, very few people would be interested in the job (and probably none of those few would be coming to the job with what I had: grant support). - 3/1/11, 11:18 AM

East Africa Price Bulletin, November 2012
White maize is the main staple grain consumed in Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia. In Uganda, white maize is grown mainly as a commercial crop for export in the region. Imported rice is a major staple for Djibouti and Somalia, which mainly consume belem—the imported red rice. Tanzania is also a major producer and source of rice in the region while Kenya and Uganda are minor producers. Both red and white sorghum are produced and consumed in the region. This is an important staple in Sudan, Djibouti and Somalia as well as in other marginal agricultural areas of the region. It is also a substitute cereal among the rural poor. Red sorghum is mainly grown in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia, and is the preferred type for households in Djibouti. Beans are an important source of protein and a complementary food crop grown in the high potential agricultural areas of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia. It is consumed across household types. Maize and beans are the most heavily traded commodities in the region. The cooking banana– matoke—is the primary staple in Uganda. Uganda is also a main source of cooking and other types of bananas traded in the region especially in Southern Sudan. However, bananas are not traded nearly as heavily as maize or beans.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- You're a six-time All-Star with a $100 million contract. You've started 97 percent of the games you've suited up over 10 years in the NBA.
Due to circumstances largely outside of your control, your head coach is asking you to accept a role off the bench.
What do you do?
Do you put up a fight and demand to start, team chemistry be damned?
Or do you swallow your pride, take a seat and hope for the best?
Amar'e Stoudemire chose the latter.
And, so far, it couldn't have worked out better for Stoudemire or the Knicks.
In his first month back following arthroscopic knee surgery, Stoudemire has thrived in his role as a reserve for the first-place Knicks.
The 30-year-old power forward has scored in double figures in seven straight games, hitting 37 of 57 shots in that span.
The Knicks have won five of seven during that stretch.
And Stoudemire's made an imprint on each of the victories. The latest example was his 14-point outing against Orlando on Wednesday. Stoudemire made all seven of his shot attempts in 21 minutes.
"He's accepting his role," Mike Woodson said after the game.
And he's done so without hesitation.
"I didn't really put much thought into it all. I had confidence in Coach Woodson to know what it takes for this team to win," Stoudemire said on Tuesday. "These guys (the Knicks coaching staff) study the game twice as much as any player does and (Woodson) understands what it takes for us to be successful. Once the coaching staff presented me with the opportunity to better the team, I was totally open to it."
Stoudemire has averaged 12.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 22 minutes for the Knicks (28-15).
If the team continues to win with Stoudemire as a reserve, his drama-free shift to the bench will be one of the season's most important developments.
"For him to accept a role like that, a player of his caliber, everybody knows his resume, for him to accept that is very professional of him," Carmelo Anthony said.
"I just think he senses a sense of urgency in terms of our team and the makeup of our team, that we have to win now," Woodson said. "...He's on board, he's trying to help us win and it doesn't matter what the situation is. He's going to do whatever it takes to help us win."
His play of late has also given credence to the idea that the Stoudemire-Anthony-Tyson Chandler trio can thrive together. The three combined to score 18 of the Knicks' 28 points in the third quarter on Wednesday to help New York take control against Orlando.
"Everyone has expanded their game for the betterment of the team and wanting to win," Stoudemire said of the Knicks' big three.
It's easy to forget now, but Stoudemire was the first star to take on the challenge of turning the moribund Knicks around when he signed with New York in 2010.
If not for Stoudemire, Anthony may never have cited the Knicks as a preferred destination during Melodrama in 2011. Tyson Chandler says he wouldn't have agreed to the sign-and-trade in New York in 2011 if Stoudemire wasn't in the fold.
"He started this whole thing," Chandler said in September. "The reason why we're here is because of him. The reason why I was willing to be a Knick is because of him. The reason why Melo was willing to be traded here was because of him. So I feel like we all have a little thanks to give to Amar'e."
When Stoudemire came to New York, he did so with one goal in mind: make the Knicks relevant again.
At the time, he probably never thought that he'd do so while coming off the bench.
But, three years later, Stoudemire, to his credit, has quietly accepted his new role.
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win," he said.

Errands and Piecewise functions.pdf - Section 2: Using a Piecewise Function
Writing, Graphing, and Describing Piecewise Linear Functions
Lesson 14 of 20
Objective: SWBAT describe a piecewise function in their own words, graph it, and write equations modeling the graph.
Warm up
Today's Warm up is intended to take about 10 minutes for my students to complete and for me to review with the class. My students have worked with function notation before this lesson. We begin today's lesson with a review of how to evaluate a function, f(x) when given values for x. Then, students are asked to determine the value(s) of x that corresponds to a given output from a function.
In the video below, I demonstrate the strategy I use to teach graphing piecewise functions:

Using a Piecewise Function
After reviewing the Warm Up with students, I hand each student an Activity called Running Errands from this website:
(last accessed 3-22-15)
I plan to have my students work on the activity individually for about 10 minutes. Then I will ask them to compare results with a table partner. For this activity the table partners are grouped homogeneously. I find that this helps my students to maintain the opportunity to think on their own, and share ideas with confidence.
While my students are working I am walk around the room monitoring their progress. Most of the students will be able to draw the five line segments on the graph associated with each of the five errands. However, I expect my students to have difficulty with the following elements of the task:
- writing the equation of each line correctly (with the slope and the y-intercept correct)
- understanding and using function notation correctly
- writing the domain correctly using inequality statements
When students share their work, I will emphasize the precise use of function notation (MP6).
Here are some examples of my students' work on this task:
- Student One uses 0 for the y-intercept in all of the equations, but does find the slope correctly. However writes the equations in slope intercept form, and uses function notation incorrectly by placing f of x equal to an inequality. Students should realize that f(x) is equivalent to y.
- Student Two did not finish. Student two wrote two equations horizontally that were correct. However, the student did not list the equations vertically next to each domain, and the student also numbered within the function notation. Again, emphasizing Math Practice six and the importance of writing function notation correctly.
- Student Three writes all of the equations correct except the slope and the y-intercept of the last line segment. However, this student also shows lack of understanding of f(x) because the student puts additional y= symbols inside the brackets.
Resources (6)
Guided Practice
After the Using a Piecewise Function activity, I will work through a Guided Practice with students. I will lead this segment of the lesson so that we can focus on some of the difficulties that students experienced during the first half of today's lesson.
I will begin by working some of the problems on the worksheet while the students observe. Then, I will give them time to produce graphs on their own. Earlier, I had demonstrated how to read a function definition and graph a Piecewise Function. During the Guided Practice, I focus more on the last page of Graphing Piecewise Functions where students interpret a graph and write a piecewise function to describe it. The video below contains is an example of how I might do this with my students:
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Exit Slip
With about ten minutes remaining in the period, I give the students an Exit Slip to check for comprehension. Some of the issues I will look for in my students' work on this informal assessment are:
- Did students restrict the domain appropriately or did they extend a graph(s) outside of its domain?
- Did students accurately plot open and a closed circles on the plot.
- Did students may have difficulty with slope or y-intercept.
- Did students incorrectly use function notation.
I have provided a copy of a correct graph in the resources.

"Cartagena" is several notches above a disease-of-the-week telepic, but several notches below an elevating tale of transforming love.
Several notches above a disease-of-the-week telepic, but several notches below an elevating tale of transforming love, "Cartagena" gets by on a poised performance by Sophie Marceau as a paralyzed expat whose life is given new meaning by a disheveled ex-boxer. Teaming of real-life couple Marceau and Christophe Lambert actually packs less of a punch than helmer-writer Alain Monne's careful direction and Antoine Roch's pristine lensing of colonial Colombian locations. Opening modestly in Gaul mid-November, the pic would make OK filler in French film weeks.
The setup is a stretch, as scruffy Leo (Lambert) applies for a nursing job at the tony house of bedridden bitch Muriel (Marceau) and is taken on, despite having no qualifications and a drinking problem. As Muriel's longtime maid/companion, Lucia (Margarita Rosa de Francisco), explains, Muriel has already gone through 40 female carers without once having hired a man. Paralyzed in a car accident three years earlier, Muriel decided never to return to France. Leo — who's half-Colombian, half-French — needs the work, as his pugilistic career is over and his possibilities as a trainer nil. Story gains some traction as initial hostility between Muriel and Leo turns to something else, as she delights in giving him a hard time and he refuses to be riled. Credibly playing a recluse who's paralyzed from the neck down, Marceau, looking elegant and sophisticated in her early 40s, does wonders with a raised eyebrow or ironic look, helping to mitigate Lambert's growly, one-note performance. Leo's parallel life, as he tries to recapture his mojo by training a tough young hooker-cum-boxer, Lina (Linett Hernandez Valdes), is less convincingly integrated into the pic. The main emotional thrust lies with the Muriel-Leo story, in which she finds herself falling for the lug but realizes she has little to offer him apart from her money. As the loyal companion who sees her role in Muriel's life usurped by the unreliable Leo, de Francisco is good, though the character of Lucia is foggily drawn, especially in the latter stages. Still, in his first helming outing, onetime production manager/a.d. Monne constructs a tight package that, through frequent ellipses, keeps things moving and doesn't overstretch the flimsy material. Florencia Di Concilio's languorous score, which features solo cello, underpins the finely tuned visuals without overdosing on tropical ennui.Cartagena

My only concern is that due to the shape of these mugs, a cup of coffee does not stay hot for very long.Date published: 2014-11-14Rated 5 out of 5 by beachbichonmom from my favorite mugs I love these mugs so much I am ordering a second set this year. They are large yet elegant and easy to hold. My tea or coffee stays warm until I finish it. They go with everything. I too broke one mug this past year but it was my own fault.Date published: 2014-11-06Rated 5 out of 5 by kmb27088 from Perfect everyday mugs I received these mugs as a wedding gift (I registered for them) and we have loved them over the past several months. I was surprised to see the negative review so I wanted to share my opinion in case you are hesitant about buying these. We did crack one mug, but it's because we dropped it. Other than that I've had no problems with them. I love the size, the look, and the shape is comfortable to hold. I highly recommend them!Date published: 2014-02-06Rated 1 out of 5 by Frenchfille from Not worth the money I received these as a wedding gift and had them on my registry. Out of the 4 mugs, 2 of them have problems. After washes in the dishwasher, 1 has a cracked handle and 1 has a chipped rim.Date published: 2013-12-05
