Jul 30, 2014
James Anderson, born on July 30, 1982 turns 32 on Wednesday. Anderson has been England's premier fast-bowler for a long time now and is the leader of the pack for England. In their rise to the No 1 spot in the Test rankings, Anderson played a crucial role with great consistency and wicket-taking ability. To say that he is one of the most deceptive fast bowlers in the world would be an understatement. At his peak, he can outsmart the batsman with remarkable spells. With a skiddy pace and great control, he has been a force in Test cricket for years.
It has been quite a journey since Anderson burst onto the scene in 2003 during the tri-series Down Under. He had played for Lancashire in county cricket. As a young 20-year-old, he made an instant impression, with a couple of good spells in the 2003 World Cup. He then made his Test debut the same year and celebrated the occasion with a brilliant five-wicket haul. Read – Anderson: One of the most deceptive fast bowlers in the world
It was some growth as a fast-bowler as he also picked a hat-trick against Pakistan in a One-Day International (ODI) that year. Though he had made a huge mark, Anderson did not quite establish himself in the side over the next two years, but things started changing in 2006. He came back into the side, that was struggling with injuries.
Anderson has troubled the best in business. One can go back to his spells to Sachin Tendulkar, whom he claimed quite frequently. Anderson is now England's highest wicket-taker in ODIs. He is also closing in on taking the mark for Test cricket. Recently, he did become the leading wicket-taker in Test cricket in England. And, what more to say about the Burnley express. Of course, he can bat a bit and scored 81 in the recent Test series against India at Nottingham, his highest score. And remarkably, it came at No 11. Currently, Anderson is trying to win a series for England against India. But, he is unfortunately involved in the pushgate controversy.

Recording period between
One of the many jazzmen who started out playing hard bop but went electric during the fusion era, Joe Sample was, in the late '50s, a founding member of the Jazz Crusaders along with trombonist Wayne Henderson, tenor saxman Wilton Felder, and drummer Stix Hooper. The Crusaders' debt to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers wasn't hard to miss -- except that the L.A.-based unit had no trumpeter, and became known for its unique tenor/trombone front line. Sample, a hard-swinging player who could handle chordal and modal/scalar improvisation equally well, stuck to the acoustic piano during The Crusaders' early years -- but would place greater emphasis on electric keyboards when the band turned to jazz-funk in the early '70s and dropped "Jazz" from its name. Though he'd recorded as a trio pianist on 1969's obscure Fancy Dance, 1978's Rainbow Seeker was often described as his first album as a leader. In contrast to the gritty music The Crusaders became known for, Sample's own albums on MCA and, later, Warner Bros. and PRA have generally favored a very lyrical and introspective jazz-pop approach. ~ Alex Henderson

"Siblings or married?" is a question Jeff and Jennifer Martin of Pipcorn hear frequently at markets or, ahem, during interviews when the person they're talking to realizes they share a surname.
"I think it's because we have so much fun together," Jeff says. "People just can't believe you can have so much fun with your sibling. We laugh all day long."
The siblings Martin were on a six-day cross-country trip when they decided to start the company. Jennifer had some dietary restrictions and was always on the lookout for healthy snacks that were gentle on her stomach; one of her favorites was popcorn made from hull-less kernels. She had her brother try it, and he called it "the greatest popcorn I'd ever had."
He explains that when it's popped, "the shells break up into tiny pieces that are easier to digest and don't get stuck in your teeth like regular popcorn," adding, "It tastes like popcorn and looks like popcorn, but it's a totally new experience."
They buy the corn directly from a farm that grows the unusual variety, and have four flavors at the moment: sea salt, rosemary, kettle corn, and "crabby," which is flavored with Old Bay seasoning, though Jeff promises some new, top-secret flavors for the holidays.

Memorial service scheduled Thursday for Wayne Law Professor Emeritus Ralph Slovenko
A memorial service for Ralph Slovenko, professor emeritus at Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, will be at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, in Hebrew Memorial Chapel, 26640 Greenfield Road, Oak Park.
Slovenko, who retired May 15 after 44 years at Wayne Law, died Sunday, Nov. 3. He was 86.
One of the nation's most respected experts in forensic psychology, Slovenko was known for being outspoken as well as scholarly. He was the author of hundreds of articles and 10 books, including the acclaimed Psychiatry in Law/Law in Psychiatry, published in a second edition in 2009. He was editor of the American Series in Behavioral Science and Law and a regular contributor to The Journal of Psychiatry & Law.
His book, Psychiatry in Law, published in 1973, was awarded the Manfred Guttmacher Award of the American Psychiatric Association, cited as "a monumental work" and named Book of the Month Club selection of the Behavior Science Book Club.
"Ralph made outstanding contributions to the fields of law and psychiatry and had a distinguished career of more than four decades at our law school," said Wayne Law Dean Jocelyn Benson. "We mourn his loss but know that the impact of his work continues."
Slovenko spoke five languages and was active with the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield and the local Holocaust Memorial Center.
He earned a bachelor's degree, master's degree, doctorate in psychology and law degree from Tulane University, where he once was on the track and field team and held a residency in psychiatry.
He loved to travel and lectured in countries including Australia, France, Israel, Japan, Russia and South Africa. He was a guest professor at Haifa University in Israel and Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
In addition to his tenure in academia, Slovenko's background included serving as a law clerk to Louisiana Supreme Court Justice E. Howard McCaleb, a Fulbright Scholar in France, a New Orleans senior assistant district attorney, a practicing attorney and a U.S. District Court commissioner for Judge J. Skelly Wright.
His survivors include his wife, Natalia Lilenko; son, Boris Korjov; and a grandchild.
The family suggests donations in his memory may be made to Tulane University, the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield or the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Do you like to wait for pages to download? Neither do your site users. Read on...
CSS downloads faster than tables because:
To learn more about CSS and the amazing things it can do for your website, check out the excellent tutorials at HTML Dog.
It's our old friend CSS to the rescue again. There's no need to use images to display text as so much can be accomplished through CSS. Have a look at this code:
a:link.example, a:visited.example, a:active.example { color:#fff; background:#f90; font-size:1.2em; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; padding:0.2em; border:4px #00f outset } a:hover.example } color:#fff; background:#fa1; font-size:1.2em; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; padding:0.2em; border:4px #00f inset }
This will give you a really simple button that appears to be pushed down when you mouseover it - See it in action if you like. To find just how far you can take this concept check out the CSS articles at A List Apart.
It's possible to present images as part of the background, called up through CSS. If you've got an image that's 200px by 100px you can use the following HTML code:

And this CSS:
.pretty-image { background: url(filename.gif); width: 200px; height: 100px }
This may at first seem a little pointless but this technique could really increase the download time of your pages. Browsers basically download background images after everything else. By using this technique, your text will load instantaneously and your site users can freely roam about the page while your 50kb fancy image downloads.
This technique disables the ALT attribute though so if you really want to have one then replace the above HTML code with this:
<image src="spacer.gif" class="pretty-image" alt="description" />
Spacer.gif is a 1px x 1px transparent image. Now you have a 50 byte transparent image and the main content loading first, and your great big decorative image, complete with ALT text, loading second. Perfect.
Please note that this technique is only good for decorative images and not informational ones. Any user who has CSS disabled will not be able to see your CSS-embedded images (or their alternative text).
This is inefficient:

This is a sentence

This is another sentence

This is yet another sentence

This is one more sentence
 .text { color: #03c; font-size: 2em }
Instead of assigning a value to each individual paragraph, we can nest them within a
 tag and assign a value to this tag:

This is a sentence

This is another sentence

This is yet another sentence

This is one more sentence

 .text p { color: #03c; font-size:2em }
This second CSS example basically says that every paragraph within class="text" should be assigned a colour value of #03c and a font size of 2em.
At first glance this doesn't look too important, but if you can apply this properly throughout your document you can easily knock off 20% of the file size.
You may have noticed the colour values are shorter than normal. #03c is a shortened version of #0033cc - you can assign this abbreviated value to any colour value like this.
font: 1em/1.5em bold italic serif
...instead of
font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-family: serif
border: 1px black solid
border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid
background: #fff url(image.gif) no-repeat top left
background-color: #fff; background-image: url(image.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left;
margin: 2px 1px 3px 4px (top, right, bottom, left)
margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 1px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-right: 4px
margin: 5em 1em 3em (top, left and right, bottom)
margin-top: 5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-right: 4em
margin: 5% 1% (top and bottom, left and right)
margin-top: 5%; margin-bottom: 5%; margin-right: 1%; margin-right: 1%
These rules can be applied to margin, border and padding.
Every single letter or space in your HTML code takes up one byte. It doesn't sound like much but it all adds up. We've found that by working through your page source and eliminating unnecessary white space and comments, you can shave off up to, or even over (if your HTML is really inefficient) 10% of its file size.
Try to avoid absolute call ups as they take up more space. An example of an absolute call up is: . Much better would be . But what if some files are in different folders to other ones? Use these shorthand properties:

Most META tags are pretty much unnecessary and don't achieve very much. If you're interested, you can see a list of META tags that are available. The most important tags for search engine optimisation are the keywords and description tags, although due to mass abuse they've lost a lot of importance in recent times. When using these META tags try to keep the content for each under 200 characters - anything more increases the size of your pages. Lengthy META tags are not good for search engines anyway because they dilute your keywords.
To place CSS in an external document use:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="filename.css"/>
To place JavaScript in an external document use:

Any external file is called up just once and then cached (stored) on the user's computer. Instead of repeating JavaScript or CSS over and over again in HTML files, just write it out once in an external document.
And don't forget, there's no limit to the number of these external documents that you can use! For example, instead of making one huge CSS document, have one main one and some others that are specific to certain areas of your site.
Don't do this:

Do this instead:

Why? If there's no slash at the end of the URL the server doesn't know if the link is pointing to a file or to a directory. By including the slash the server instantly knows that the URL is pointing to a directory and doesn't need to spend any time trying to work it out.

Fail Whale Babydoll
"And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
There are plenty of organizations which petition against whaling, but someone needs to step up and address a much greater risk to marine mammals everywhere: the chance that they might change from a missile into a whale and fall from the sky at high speed.
Read more..."And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Birth is probably traumatic on a little brain. You've been hanging out in this warm, wet environment for 9 months, and all of a sudden there are bright lights and loud noises. However, we think it was probably a little more traumatic for the whale and the bowl of petunias. When you come into the world at something like 35000 ft., it's not likely to end well. (Unless there's an airplane and a doctor also involved.) At least our favorite fail whale died happily. He never knew what hit him. *rimshot*
This seafoam blue, babydoll (fitted) t-shirt features the ground at its bottom and, amongst fluffy, happy clouds, a falling sperm whale on the chest with the thought bubble, "I wonder if it will be friends with me?"

To improve the evidence base and quality of care, HHS is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in medication surveillance and comparative effectiveness research that relies on observational cohorts. Because the voice of the patient is largely missing in these data sources, key efficacy endpoints and quality of life metrics may not factor into clinical and policy recommendations. Also absent is key information that patients know, can accurately report, and are willing to share. Capturing data about, for example, over-the-counter and complementary medications, disease endpoints, and adverse events below threshold for a typical healthcare encounter, may greatly enhance knowledge of disease progression and best practices. We seek to develop targeted HIT and computational approaches to add the voice of the consented patient to cohort research. We build on two widely deployed open source technologies-the i2b2 analytic platform and the Indivo open source personally controlled health record. We create an infrastructure supporting a self-perpetuating cycle where shared information for research drives improved care, which motivates sustained engagement and further consented sharing, thus, further improving research and care. We call this model "The Learning Cohort" (TLC) because participants are given a toolkit providing them direct access to query registry data - a toolkit which safely constrains a patient's query capability to validated aggregate measures and offers a consumer-oriented presentation of preprocessed, summarized live registry data germane to personalized health choices. The setting is the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) and its scalable, 60 site patient registry which has access to half of all US children with rheumatic diseases. The project creates a translation-to-practice pathway for standardized measures including those from the NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) to capture patient reports for the registry. Further, we provide patients with a PCHR "app" enabling them to consent to join a distributed cohort, which automatically and anonymously shares data and observations with public health authorities for postmarketing surveillance. All software code will be made open source through www.INDIVOhealth.org and www.i2b2.org. This project leverages technology produced under an Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology- funded Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects (SHARP) project (www.SMArtPlatforms.org). SMART, which provides a common application programming interface enabling HIT platforms to run substitutable apps, allows us to create a pathway for wide diffusion of the software technology produced under this proposal.
The Institute of Medicine has called for a learning healthcare system that generates and applies the best evidence for the collaborative healthcare choices of each patient and provider;to drive the process of discovery as a natural outgrowth of patient care;and to ensure innovation, quality, safety, and value in health care. In response, we propose The Learning Cohort, which promotes a self-perpetuating cycle where individuals participate and consent to report and share information for research. The research data are used to improve and results are shared back with patients. This engagement, in turn, motivates sustained involvement and further consented sharing.

Ok guys I am buidling my sttiP #2 I thought the lower wing had a little more gap from the fuselage saddle than I remember on my other two sttiP's....so I pulled the plastic lower wing front mount bracket peice from its original placement where it is fitted against the rear of the battery tray....then I thought ...if I do raise this position in order to get the lower wing to meet up with the fuselage...then I am Changing the angle of attack of the bottom wing...and will also cause deformity with the wing struts as they would force more pressure on the top wings. Looking at sttiP #1 the gap is about the same...and after filling the gap with silicone to it....ha always flown execellent. So I am going to again fill the bottom wing/fuselage gap with Silocone to not only fill the gap but also provide some stiffness to the plane as well as provide support of that section. I'll post up some photos of the plane.....with LED kit....I know it's hokey and silly to add lights. I for one have never seen any Pitts with NAV lights.....of all the pilots I met who built and flew a Pitts would never fly at night and never got FAA experimental airframe approval to fly at night....so I took Liberty and install LED lights where I wanted to just for fun..... (EDIT) West Texas King...I should have consorted with you first regarding LED lights.....dang it!! Photos to come soon TwistedGrin |
Last edited by TwistedGrin; Mar 03, 2013 at 12:43 PM.
Twisted, just glue some flashlights to the wing, use a marker to make them different colors...it sure beats all of that wiring business.
Then you'll have a realistic scale model |
Thanks for the clarification guys, I've been consuming all the info I can find trying to get back 'into' this hobby, with all these new materials, new designs, and new methods of building, hoping to bring my outdated knowledge into the 21st century
So why bother with 'regulation' NAV lights if they're not scale? Go wild like this one!
Looking forward to seeing yours, TG! Dusty |
Civil twilight lasts for 30min after sunset, so you can fly for up to 30min after sunset and still be flying in "daylight" according to the FAA.
Really hard to enforce something like that unless you're landing at a controlled airport. That's why I don't fly to those places |
Oh, forgot to mention...I have committed sacrilege!
Ordered the EPP Pitts from HK: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=12492 Figured it was about time I owned a profile model, and an EPP model, and a 3D biplane, and a really easy plane to fly...it seemed to tick all the boxes. |
the one that tempts me the most is the one from EPP Hobby
http://epphobby.com/store/Best-Epp-3...pitts-s2cx-arf |
Pretty expensive for a bare airframe though!
Had a brief maiden flight yesterday.
Cold day with light winds flying off of frozen snow pack. Take off was fine but then I pulled the power down too quick before I had some altitude. Plane was buffeted by some wind so I brought it down as gently as I could. Broke the propeller - no other damage. My time was limited by a very busy day so I did not replace the propeller yet. I think my take away was keep the power up until I have speed and altitude. I didn't even get a chance to start timming it. Total flight time was about 15 sec. Waiting for better conditions and daylight savings time so I can fly in the evening instead of only on weekend. |
So I put wax paper on the top surface of the lower wing...where it would contact the DAP All-Purpose Adheasive Sealant Aquarium Safe 100% Silicone that I apply to the fuselage wing saddle....put the lower wing loosely back in place and synch it up to the fuselage just shy of 50% normal position at the 12hr mark. At the 24hr mark the Silicone is cured....and it adheared to the WAX PAPER!!! Man....sticky stuff!...I am able to trim off the excess wax paper silicon square off from the fuselage straight nice and clean...but there is no way to -separate- the wax paper from the silicone...amazing! Anyway I now have a nice tight mating surface of the lower wing to the entire fuselage wing saddle.....bolts right up and straight of course..providing a tight and rigid lower wing mount. So be aware if you use this type of silone sealant to fill the lower wing to fuselage saddle gap...you better use something inbetween the two surfaces or you will permantly join the two surfaces together.....not sure if you would be able to remove the lower wing without significant damage in doing so...if you don't use wax paper or something. 1. Super Tigre .10 motor with custom motor mount, offset for some right down thrust 2. Carbon fiber slatted top and lower wing 3. LED kit installed (Top wing left red/right green; lower wing leading edge solid white; lower wing tips flashing white, rear canopy red flashing, lower fuselage aft wing saddle red flashing 4. Three coats Minwax Polycrylic water based clear simi-gloss 5. Spektrum SPMR7010 7ch receiver and sat mounted inside cockpit 6. Re-inforced inside engine cowling with clear packing tape 7. 40amp BESC deployed 8. Marvin the Martian (Inter Planetary Molecular Re-Arranging Pitts Pilot) 8. Park Zone Super Cub landing gear deloyment with strut supports pending 9. Carbon fiber wing cables pending 10. Tail section carbon fiber boxing support pending 11. Configure and set up C.O.G. pending 11. Maiden with 10x5x3 MAS prop 12. Experiment with 10x8 MAS prop |

I think saran wrap might have worked better....but even with the wax paper still on the overall objective was met. I am no pro at this hobby ....and consider myself a novice in every way....I have 17 planes in my hangar now....could not conceive in May of last year what I would do with three!!! Anyway this little Pitts is such a fun flyer......My current ModisOperendae is to purchase and build a second plane or sistership to any plane that I really enjoy....such is the case with this HK Spitts/sttiP....Now I am really curious to see what the difference is flying this bird with the Super Tigre motor and MAS 10x5x3 prop with the aluminum spinner assembly. Just spinning it up on on the bench I can feel the stronger pull....also noticing that it takes just a little bit to get all that prop and spinner up to higher RPM.....much stronger when it gets there....in contrast the stock motor with the 10x8 GWS prop spools up very quickly then maxes out to full thrust in a jiffy (Jiffy means really quick...but I can't tell you how fast it is). Anyway it is a good excersize to build a sister ship applying the lessens learned from an original build....apply better modifications...faster build time...less time analyzing each section of modifications to the build.....I should be able to complete HKsttiP #2 Marvin Martian Interplanetary Molecular Re-arranger Super Tigre Pitts Special in a few more hours of build..... I will see if all the talk about the Super Tigre .10 MAS 10x5x3 and aluminum spinner was just all a big load 'O interplanetary hype TwistedGrin |

I was only partially paying attention to the taste, since most of my attention was focused on epithelial to mesenchymal transition. From what I recall, the chocolate was definitely more of a dark chocolate flavor, and rather subtle. It wasn't the main flavor. While the orange and chocolate were both there, the tea flavor was still present. If I recall correctly, with DavidsTea's chocolate orange tea, the flavoring hides most of the puerh flavor. Before I pass any final judgement, a side by side test would be interesting. For now, I'll still hold of on a rating until I have a better chance to pay attention to the tea.

SkySQL Delivers An Alternative Source Of Software, Services, And Support For The MySQL® Database
* Founded and funded by former MySQL AB executives and investors
HELSINKI, Finland – Oct. 15, 2010 – SkySQL Ab "When Sun was acquired by Oracle, there was a collective gasp in the MySQL community," said Ulf Sandberg, CEO at SkySQL Ab. "MySQL supporters were rightfully anxious that growing the bottom line of big business would take precedence over further investment in the development of the MySQL franchise. In our view, progress of MySQL's technology has been stymied, leading to a mass exodus for those involved in the technology. SkySQL has become a new haven for MySQL expertise due to our unwavering commitment to providing high quality, expert support of MySQL technology and services on a global scale."

Top 4 San Diego Mayoral Candidates Gear Up For First Debate Together
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The first mayoral debate featuring all four of the top candidates is scheduled for Tuesday, with an important endorsement possibly riding on the outcome.
Special Feature Special Election
Special Feature What Questions Should We Ask During Our Mayoral Debate?
On Monday, Oct. 14, KPBS will host a debate with the four top mayoral candidates in a recent poll of likely voters: Mike Aguirre, David Alvarez, Nathan Fletcher and Kevin Faulconer. Please submit your questions for the candidates, and we may use them during the debate.
The forum, which will focus on law enforcement issues, will be hosted by the San Diego Police Officers Association, Deputy Sheriffs Association of San Diego County, San Diego County Deputy District Attorneys Association, and the San Diego County Probation Officers Association.
The candidates -- former City Attorney Mike Aguirre, Councilmen David Alvarez and Kevin Faulconer, and ex-Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher -- are among 10 who want to finish the term of Bob Filner, who resigned Aug. 30 after less than nine months on the job.
The hopefuls are also vying for the Probation Officers Association's endorsement for the Nov. 19 special election. Fletcher captured the organization's support last year.
On Monday, Fletcher released a plan to address the San Diego Police Department's chronic staffing problems. According to the most recent report, the SDPD has 135 fewer sworn officers than called for in the budget. Officers have been leaving to the tune of around 10 a month for several years to nearby law enforcement agencies that offer higher take-home pay.
Fletcher's plan calls for increasing the amount of officers' paychecks by lowering out-of-pocket costs for health care; supporting a mentoring program to increase the rate in which recruits pass the police academy; training officers to act as recruiters and provide bonuses for successful referrals; creating a joint training facility with other agencies; reestablishing community storefronts that allow officers to interact with the public; and setting reliability standards so that officer safety or investigations are not threatened by technology blackouts or equipment failures.
Also on Monday, Bruce Coons announced he is dropping out of the race and throwing his support to Alvarez. Coons is the executive director of a preservationist group called the Save Our Heritage Organisation.
If no candidate wins more than half the vote in the special election, a runoff between the top two vote-getters would be held early next year.

Kevin Faulconer is currently my councilperson, and his office has a history of not responding to his constituents in the East Village much less addressing our concerns. Do we want Kevin ignoring all of San Diego as Mayor? I vote NO!
CaliforniaDefender | October 14, 2013 at 1:21 p.m. ― 3 years, 5 months ago
Who do you think will pay attention to San Diego? Filner and the Democratic Party elite certainly didn't and we can't go through another disaster like that.
Alvarez is being bankrolled by Sacramento and Washington DC unions. Guess who he will be beholden to if elected. Certainly not San Diegans.
Fletcher is unreliable and will blow whatever direction the wind takes him, but for now he is being funded by his boss at Qualcomm. Do you want City Hall to be renamed Qualcomm Hall and everything else in the city?
Mike Aguirre doesn't seem to be backed by any special interest which is great. But the Democrat/Republican party elites wont back him, so what chance does he have?
Faulconer is backed by the SD Chamber of Commerce, BIA, restaurants, and hotels. Not so great, but at least there is some local interest there.
If you ask me, Aguirre would be best for San Diego, but if he doesn't make it to the runoff, the next best choice is Faulconer.

Altlanta and the Boston Celtics played another buzzer beater game last night; with the Hawks a Mike Bibby three pointer away from sending the game to overtime. The C's might have won their 16th straight, but the play of the night belonged to Josh Smith. He posterized Kendrick Perkins with what Marc Jackson called a "grown man move."

I love washi tape!
Washi tape is so versatile! You saw Linda, from Craftaholics Anonymous, create adorable gift tags with washi tape. Today I'll show you how to make pretty custom thank you cards.
What You'll Need:
- blank card
- exacto knife
- washi tape in different colors and designs
- self healing mat
- stamp and stamp pad
First lay your blank note card flat on your self healing mat with the outside of the card facing up. Start laying strips of washi tape horizontally.
Make sure to lay the pieces of tape as straight as you can, leaving space for your "thank you." I used a rubber stamp and red ink on this card.
Press all of the tape edges firmly to your mat. Use your exacto knife to cut along the edge of the card as closely as you can without cutting the card itself.
That's it… you're done! You have a beautiful handmade thank you card and it only took a few short minutes!

Letting go is hard to do
In his 51 BIRCH STREET, one of the most highly praised personal documentaries of recent years, Doug Block took a hard look at his parents' marriage and his own relationship with his father. With his latest film, Block turns in the other direction, offering an exceptionally moving film about his relationship with his only child, Lucy. THE KIDS GROW UP is a chronicle of Lucy's emotionally-fraught last year at home before leaving for college. Moving fluidly between past, present and the fast-approaching future, Block uses a lifetime of footage to craft not only a loving portrait of a girl transitioning into womanhood, but also an incredibly candid look at modern-day parenting, marriage, and what it means to let go.

Bears Win Overtime Thriller in Providence
by Scott Stuccio / Washington CapitalsPROVIDENCE, R.I. – Joey Crabb tied the game with 1:29 left in regulation and Jon DiSalvatore buried a power-play goal 3:05 into overtime, and backed by a 54-save performance from Philipp Grubauer, the HERSHEY BEARS claimed Game Two of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with a 5-4 decision over the Providence Bruins on Sunday afternoon at Dunkin' Donuts Center.
The Bears took the lead three times in the game, and late in regulation had to fight back to get the equalizer. It turned out to be two penalties for high-sticking that came back to haunt the Bruins.
Hershey opened the scoring at 3:14 of the first on a breakaway goal from the blue line by Ryan Stoa. Taking a pass from Peter LeBlanc, Stoa deked to the backhand and beat Niklas Svedberg from in close.
Providence would then even the score at 9:05. Graham Mink jumped on the rebound of a shot from Carter Camper and chipped the puck into the upper corner past Grubauer for his first of the postseason.
The Bears earned their first power play chance of the game on a high-sticking call to Bruins forward Justin Florek. Providence was eight seconds away from the kill when rookie Nate Schmidt held a clearing bid onside at the right point and sent a shot toward the net. Nicolas Deschamps deflected the puck through Svedberg's pads at 14:56 for a 2-1 lead. Despite being outshot 25-8 after the first, the Bears held the one-goal lead.
The Bruins again tied the game with an early second-period goal from Camper. Craig Cunningham's shot bounced around in traffic, banked off of Camper's leg and past Grubauer at 1:09.
The third one-goal lead for the Bears came at 10:33. Michael Latta picked off a pass from Chris Bourque in the Providence zone, then fed the high slot. Garrett Mitchell grabbed the pass, skated toward the left hash marks and sent a wrister over the blocker of Svedberg.
Bourque made up for the giveaway just 21 seconds later, firing a long-range slap shot from inside the blue line under Grubauer's glove and knotting the score 3-3.
The Bruins grabbed their first lead of the series at the 13:18 mark of the third, on the hosts' third advantage of the game. Mink would strike again when he set up at the top of Grubauer's crease to deflect a hard pass from Camper into the net.
The Bears would get Grubauer to the bench for the extra attacker with just under two minutes left in regulation. The move would pay off, as the Bears sent three bodies to the Bruins net. Deschamps and Jeff Taffe dug the puck loose from the pile, and it caromed right to Crabb for a slam-dunk tying goal at 18:31.
Garnet Exelby took the Bruins' second high-sticking penalty, and once again the hosts were closing in on a kill. Schmidt sent a pass from the left point to the right circle for LeBlanc, who in turn slid a pass to his left. DiSalvatore then ripped it past a diving Svedberg to cap off the victory.
Grubauer improves to 2-0 with the win, while Svedberg made 24 saves on 29 shots in the setback. The Bears finished with a 2-for-4 mark on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill.
With the win, the Bears have a lead of two games to none in the best-of-five format.
The Eastern Conference quarterfinal series shifts back to Chocolatetown for Game Three on Saturday, May 4, with puck drop scheduled for 7:00 PM. Tickets for Game Three of this series, as well as the to-be-announced second home playoff game, are on sale at the GIANT Center box office, by calling (717) 508-BEAR, or online at TicketMaster.com.

July 31, 2010
Dear ENSJ friends,
In the past week there have been significant developments in the growth of anti-Race to the Top sentiment around the country. An impressive coalition of national civil rights groups issued a statement critical of the Obama/Duncan administration's educational policies: Framework for Providing All Students an Opportunity to Learn through Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It's worth the read.
Similarly, a coalition of 24 community groups organized by Communities for Excellent Public Schools issued a stinging critique of the federal government's "turnaround" strategies. "Our Communities Left Behind: An Analysis of the Administration's School Turnaround Policies" is a comprehensive critique that shows why those policies won't work and offers concrete suggestions as to what will turn around struggling schools. For a summary see an article in the Washington Post.
The lead segment on Democracy Now on July 30 was on the Race to the Top and included interviews with Diane Ravitch and Leonie Haimson from Class Size Matters; they respond to President Obama's recent speech at the National Urban League in which he defended the Race to the Top program. It's worth the listen.
These critiques confirm what those of us who are in the classroom have seen for the past several years. Many federal education policies are actually hurting students, making it more difficult for teachers to provide quality education to those who need it most. It's time for a change.

Just after noon Sunday--Leave home for airport.
12:30pm--Pick up work colleague at his hotel.
1pm--Park and proceed to self-service check-in.
1:15pm--Put on first class upgrade wait list. D'oh!
2:20pm--Check boarding pass while waiting at gate and notice that I'm in seat E8. E? Hmmm, that sounds like a middle...
2:30pm--Board aircraft and confirm that E is indeed the MIDDLE seat.
2:32pm--Sit down and pray that flight is not full. Know in heart how vain that hope is.
2:35pm--Am now sitting between two fairly large gentlemen, silently cursing Continental Airlines with gusto knowing that there is no way in hell that I selected a middle seat.
2:37pm--Begin to feel like Steve Martin in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" as "gentleman" on left completely hogs arm rest and gentleman on right removes shoes and leans head against my shoulder to better sleep.
2:39pm--Begin deep breathing exercises to calm mind and prevent complete meltdown knowing that I'll be spending the next three plus hours in this small circle of hell.
3 something pm--Plane FINALLY takes off bringing some relief as I know that miserable current state of affairs will eventually come to end.
3:45pm--Pull out IPod and noise reduction headphones. Turn headphones on and discover that battery is dead.
3:47pm--Pull out 10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That Didn't Help by Benjamin Wiker (a very fine read by the way) from seat pocket in attempt to escape present reality. Discover that some F***wad has stashed his previously-chewed, powerfully-flavored mango gum in said seat pocket and said gum is now all over back jacket cover of book. Resist urge to unleash a torrent of profanities. Spend rest of flight reading and sleeping unfitfully, fruitlessly hoping to not wake until we land and the nightmare is over.
5:30 something pm--At last we land in Houston. Don't really feel the urge to thank flight attendant as I exit aircraft.
From there, everything was a piece a cake. The almost three-hour layover in Houston? Spent the time with pleasure. The flight to Chihuahua? A veritable two-hour paradise compared to the Minneapolis to Houston anxiety inducer. When I finally put head to pillow in the hotel in Chihuahua around midnight, one of the last thoughts rattling around the noggin before nodding off was, "Happy Father's Day."

With lockout looming, Bruins, forward Brad Marchand agree to new, four-year deal
NHL.com @NHLBOSTON - Against the backdrop of an NHL lockout, the Bruins agreed to a new, four-year deal with forward Brad Marchand on Friday.
The feisty Marchand, 24, a key cog in the Bruins' run to the 2011 Stanley Cup, will make $4.5 million per season, starting in 2013-14. He is scheduled to make $3 million in the coming season, the last of his two-year contract.
Marchand had 28 goals and 27 assists last season, as Boston won the Northeast Division but lost in the first round to Washington.
"His style of play, his persona, his timely goals and his amount of goals bring a great component to the Bruins," general manager Peter Chiarelli said in a conference call. "It's nice when you can sign a player like Brad who has worked his way up through the organization and plays the way we all enjoy watching him play."
Marchand, who was a plus-31 last season, was drafted No. 71 overall in 2006, and has 49 goals and 48 assists in 173 career games.
"We've tried to be relatively proactive in extending contracts for guys prior to the start of the season and we're trying to keep our core together," Chiarelli said. "It's part and parcel of that in what we're trying to do."
Marchand has 12 goals and 21 points in 32 post-season games for Boston, and was a force in 2011 as the Bruins won three seven-game series en route to the Stanley Cup. They went the distance against Montreal (first round), Tampa Bay (conference finals) and Vancouver (Cup finals), and swept Philadelphia (Round 2).
"Being part of this team, it's like being part of a family," Marchand said. "It's been a long summer without them all and I'm very excited to be with them all here for the next number of years. ... We're going to be a very strong team for years to come. And I think we can have the opportunity here to do some very good things and especially make a couple of good runs at the Cup."
The deal comes as the NHL and NHLPA prepare for a potential lockout. The deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement is Sept. 15. The regular season is slated to begin on Oct. 11.
Whenever play resumes, Chiarelli knows what to expect from Marchand.
"As a general manager you enjoy watching him play that in-your-face game," Chiarelli said. "He sacrifices his body and he's really coming into his own as an offensive player."
NOTE: Preparing for a potential stoppage, Chiarelli announced that the Bruins have cancelled their rookie camp and tournament, much like the Detroit Red Wings did last month.

Varicose Veins (Holistic)
Skip to the navigationAbout This Condition
Try a beneficial flavonoid
Take 1,000 mg a day of hydroxyethylrutoside to reduce the size of varicose veins associated with pregnancy
Compress and elevate
Relieve the symptoms of varicose veins by wearing compression stockings and elevating your legs frequently
Get a checkup
Visit your doctor to find out if your varicose veins may be the result of a more serious venous condition
About This Condition
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins close to the surface. They can occur almost anywhere but most commonly occur in the esophagus and the legs.
Veins, which return blood to the heart, contain valves that keep blood from flowing backward as a result of gravity. When these valves become weak, blood pools in the veins of the legs and causes them to bulge. These enlarged vessels are called varicose veins. Standing and sitting for long periods of time, lack of exercise, obesity, and pregnancy all tend to promote the formation of varicose veins. Sometimes varicose veins are painful, but elevating the affected leg usually brings significant relief.
Symptoms of varicose veins may include a dull pain, itch, or heavy sensation in the legs. The sensation is worse after prolonged standing and better when the legs are elevated. Varicose veins typically appear on the legs as dilated, tortuous veins close to the surface of the skin, and may look blue. Advanced varicose veins may cause ankle and leg swelling or skin ulcers.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Keeping the legs elevated relieves pain. People with varicose veins should avoid sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time and should walk regularly.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationThousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time.

Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Heartemant were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: John Hardeman, who settled in Barbados in 1685; Edward Hardman arrived in Pennsylvania in 1698; Phillip Hardman arrived in Pennsylvania in 1772; Edward, John, Michael, Richard, Thomas and William Hardman all arrived in Philadelphia between 1820 and 1840..

JACKSON — Prosecutors want the Mississippi Supreme Court to reinstate the conviction of Jeffrey Dale Beecham, who won a new trial on charges that he was intoxicated when he caused a 2007 accident in DeSoto County in which an elderly woman died.
Prosecutors say Beecham's blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
The state Court of Appeals last year ordered a new trial for Beecham on grounds that his attorney was not allowed to question the doctor who prepared Freda Lovelace's death certificate. Beecham — and the Appeals Court agreed — claimed it was a violation of his Sixth Amendment right to confront his accusers.
Over the years, the Supreme Court has ruled on dozens of cases addressing Sixth Amendment claims.
