Ball or Bands – Football vs. Music As An Educational and Community Investment
In a perfect world, all school extracurricular activities would be fully funded. But with all indications being that future education funding will be significantly reduced, it's clear we no longer live in a perfect world. As a result, school and community leaders, as well as parents, will be forced to determine how to allocate increasingly scarce extracurricular dollars, particularly in the areas of athletics and the arts. In such an environment, the fundamental question is which extracurricular activities garner the best educational return on investment.
These decisions must be made with the recognition that America's economy has changed from one based on industrial might to one driven by technology, creativity, collaboration and innovation. What does this mean as applied to educational funding and priorities? How should it impact efforts to structure schools and educational curriculums to prepare our children to succeed in this rapidly changing and increasingly competitive world economy and integrated global community?
To successfully meet these challenges, parents, education policy makers and community leaders must be fully informed to enable them to approach these difficult decisions with a more thorough understanding of the issues and impacts these activities have on educational and community outcomes.
To that end, in Ball or Bands, author John R. Gerdy draws not only on relevant research and data but also his extensive experience in both worlds. The result is a thoughtful, thorough and clear-eyed comparative analysis of the educational value of football versus music programs in providing our children an education worthy of the 21st century.

These are the awesome-amazing-super-high-shiny heels that I blogged about in my first post. I wore these babies about 3 times total only. They're so high I don't know where to wear it to. So I picked today, to show them off. More lovely shoe pics :3
oh, what's that I hear? you want more details? okay, I took some more pics just for you:
I ripped these jeans meself, yes. I was bored and I had a pair of sharp scissors in my hand incidently, so I thought, Why not?
this is my pal CherryPop. I got them in my happymeal from mcdonalds. Okay, my sister's happymeal =_= What? I didn't steal it from her. She has a hello kitty from Macs already so she gave this to me. I hugged her and danced around happily of course.
Okay. Now what? What else do I need to post about before I disappear into thin air (i.e. preparing for school madly running around buying paper, pencils, whiteout, etc. and meditating on my schedule trying not to freak out about IB and calling up my friends and asking them what classes they have, planning one more shopping trip or hanging out, sleeping over, partying once more before school starts and summer ends)?
What's the first thought that pops into your mind when you see this Margiela piece?
(i.e. 'WTF?!' 'I LOVE IT?!' 'IT'S A CARPET MONSTER?!')
... and how beautiful are these Christian Lacroix outfits?
.. OH RIGHT. I'm heading out to Metro on Saturday with a few old friends. Maybe THAT will be the last post before school starts, who knows?

Fibromyalgia/ADD Connection
Characteristics of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue include chronic widespread pain which are diagnosed by 11 out of 18 tender trigger points. Other symptoms include low energy, brain fog, sleep problems, and memory problems.
Characteristics of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) include distractibility, impulsivity, "hyperreactivity, concentrate/focus problems, forgetfulness, etc.
Note: Not everyone with ADD/ADHD has Fibromyalgia
The Fibromyalgia/ADD Connection
There are several articles below which explain the connection between Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
ADD/ADHD and Fibromyalgia (FMS): Where Is the Connection?
Glenda H. Davis, MD, and Patricia Stephens, CNC
Two years ago we raised the question, "Is there a connection [between ADD and FMS]?"(2). We believe there is, since ADD and FMS: a) respond to the same medications (stimulants), b) have similar symptoms, c) run in the same families. An ADD work-up typically evaluates emotional and behavioral, but not physical, symptoms, whereas an FMS work-up usually evaluates physical, but not emotional or behavioral, symptoms. But when ADD and FMS patients are asked the same questions, the similarities between these two conditions are more obvious...

Some local college officials say Congressman Ralph Norman's proposed changes to the Pell Grant system could shrink the number of students interested in higher education and add to a worsening national student debt crisis.
U.S. Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C. and Francis Rooney, R-Fl., have proposed the Pell Performance Act. The act would transform the Pell system, turning grants into unsubsidized Stafford loans for students who don't graduate six years after initially receiving the grant."If this bill passes the House and the Senate, then before you (students) get the money you'd sign all the documents that spells this out. It takes the guesswork out of it," Norman said. "College is a privilege, it's not a right. If taxpayers pay for you to go to school, it lights a fire for the student to finish on time. Six years is plenty of time to finish."But, local college officials said, that could spook students who need financial aid to afford college, many of whom are already worried about the prospect of student debt."Students are already nervous about the cost of higher education," said Trevor Pittman, associate vice president of enrollment management at Converse College. "A proposal like this would really give students pause when they see the possible additional cost they may see if they're not successful."
Need-based Pell Grants provide up to $5,920 per year to help cover the costs of college, and federal tax dollars provide about $22.5 billion each year for Pell Grants.The U.S. Department of Education however, found that Pell money only covers about 30 percent of the average cost of a 4-year college education.
Norman said that roughly 37 percent of students taking Pell money don't wind up with degrees in the six-year period, the metric used by many colleges nationally to track graduation.
Students unsure if they can graduate in six years should think twice about taking the federal money, Norman said."Just don't take the money. If you can't do it in the six-year timeframe, then just don't take the money," he said. "Either work for it or have some other means to do it."In South Carolina, about 126,000 students earned Pell Grants totaling about $465 million, according to the Department of Education.At Limestone College, about 56.8 percent of students earned some Pell Grant funding, said Bobby Greer, director of financial aid.At the University of South Carolina Upstate, 43.7 percent of students earned Pell Grant money.At Wofford College, about 16 percent of students earned Pell money.At Converse College, 43.8 percent of students earned Pell money.At Spartanburg Community College, a total of 2,762 students earned Pell Grant money this year.More than half — 55 percent — of the students at Spartanburg Methodist College earned Pell Grants, said Chris Roberson, the college's director of financial aid.One of those students is Kendevon Stenhouse, in his second year at SMC.
Stenhouse said he understands the logic behind Norman's proposal, and that if it were in effect, he would still go ahead and apply for Pell Grant money.
"I'm somewhere in the middle. I understand why he would want to make it that way," he said. "I still would've accepted it (Pell Grant money). I think it makes it a challenge to finish school in that timely manner."
Inspiring students to finish college more quickly is one of the arguments Norman used to support his proposal.He said the move should benefit students looking for extra motivation and the institutions they attend."I think it'll be a positive effect. I think you'll have students with more incentive to get a degree," he said. "It'll help universities plan better. It may weed out some students who aren't taking it seriously, and some other students could take their place."Jeff Boyle, director of financial aid and veteran affairs at SCC, students at the community college level would in particular be hurt by the changes because many work or care for families while in school."It is an absolutely terrible idea for the community college system and the students we serve," said Jeff Boyle, Spartanburg Community College director of financial aid and veteran affairs. "Our population is drastically different than that of the four-year institutions, and this legislation would have an extremely negative impact on our students."Bonnie Carson, financial aid director at USC Upstate, said the bill would hurt many students, especially those who work while earning their degrees.
The move could dissuade lower-income students with aspirations of college graduation, Pittman said. He said wouldn't necessarily benefit students or colleges."I appreciate the desire to fund higher education in a way that's responsible, but it's going to be a real negative for a lot of students who have the least access to higher education," he said. "We know a lot more students are working to support their education and their lives outside of education. For these students, it puts an additional stressor on them."
Norman said he and his colleagues will work to get the bill to become law.
"This is no different than when you go in to start a business, you have certain conditions you must meet before you get the money. Because the taxpayers are funding it, it should be easy to see it," he said. "This is sacred money the taxpayers have."Roberson and Pittman agreed the effort could worry students and families looking at colleges."Pell Grants have been a lifeline for a lot of these students," he said. "Without the Pell Grant or with significant changes to the Pell Grant, I would think we'd see a real decline in the number of students considering a higher education. That would hurt the community around us."

There is something about the moon and Sjoesjoe lately... I have seen an amazing documentary about the first manned mission to land on the moon in 1969. Can you imagine, standing on the moon yourself... oh my, so exciting!! It really felt as if I was there in 1969 for a little while, such a huge event! And now... I see beautiful moon prints and moon art every where. So today some beautiful examples of more moon inspired people.

Story highlights
- Real Madrid 5-1 Legia Warsaw
- Legia gives Real scare with first-half penalty
- Borussia Dortmund holds on for victory
- Gianluigi Buffon is Juventus' 'Superman'
(CNN)Real Madrid kept up its unbeaten start to this season's Champions League with a five-star performance against Legia Warsaw at the Bernabeu.
Goals from Gareth Bale and Alvaro Morata book ended strikes from Marcelo, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vasquez, but not before a Miroslav Radovic penalty gave the 11-time European Champion a brief scare.
"Today we were more offensive, but defensively we suffered a bit more," Real manager Zinedine Zidane told reporters after the match. "Other than that I'm happy.
"We are always looking to improve -- the balance of the team was not perfect at times. Today we played a more attacking XI, so there were more risks.
"They didn't really have many chances and we were able to counter-attack easily. Cristiano may not have scored today, but he assisted with goals & that's all I'm concerned about."
Despite Real's early dominance, it was Legia which almost took the unlikeliest of leads after 12 minutes.
Guilherme deceived Marcelo with several silky stepovers and found Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe on the edge of the box, but his shot hit the inside of the post with Keylor Navas well beaten.
But less than a minute later, Real took the lead. Gareth Bale cut inside onto his favored left foot and drilled a low shot into the far corner.
The second quickly followed, Karim Benzema teed up Marcelo on the edge of the area and his shot took a heavy deflection off Jakub Czerwinski, completely deceiving Arkadiusz Malarz in the Legia goal.
The Polish side conceded six at home to Borussia Dortmund in the opening Champions League match day and with two quickfire goals, Real had its own European Cup record 8-0 win in its sights.
However, just a minute later, Legia had the chance to get back into the game from the penalty spot.
Danilo's clumsy challenge brought down Radovic, who got up, dusted himself down and coolly sent Navas the wrong way.
That was the first Champions League goal Navas had conceded at the Bernabeu, while it marked 21 years to the day since Legia last scored in the competition.
The visiting side's joy was short lived, however, as Cristiano Ronaldo set up Asensio to calmly slot the ball low to Malarz's left.
Morata's cross set up Vazquez for the fourth, before Ronaldo turned provider for a second time to assist Morata for Real's fifth.
This was the third time this season Los Blacos have scored five or more in a game, an ominous sign for this weekend's opponents, Athletic Bilbao.
In Lyon, Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had arguably the best performance of his stellar 21-year career.
Affectionately dubbed 'Superman' by his own fans, Buffon was met with a banner at the weekend that read: "Even Superman is 'just' Clark Kent sometimes... Gigi always our superhero," in reference to his error against Spain.
At Lyon's Parc Olympique, a first-half penalty stop was followed by a quite breathtaking reaction save, before Juan Cuadrado's goal earned the 10-man side an undeserved three points.
Lyon, now four points behind 2015 finalist Juventus in Group H, will be ruing a profligate night in front of goal.
"We recovered after the red card but we weren't good enough 11 vs. 11," Buffon said after the match. "We still have plenty of room to improve."
Meanwhile in Real's group, Borussia Dortmund had to see off a spirited late charge to hold onto a 2-1 win against Sporting in Lisbon.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang blitzed past Ruben Semedo with his trademark searing pace and impudently dinked the ball over Rui Patricio after nine minutes.
Julian Weigl doubled the German's lead two minutes before half time, tiptoeing past two challenges and firing a low strike into the bottom corner.
An indirect free-kick allowed Bruno Cesar to halve the deficit but Dortmund's victory ensures it remains ahead of Real Madrid on goal difference.
In Russia, Lacina Troare opened the scoring for CSKA Moscow against Monaco, the club he is currently on loan from.
But spare a thought for CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. With just three minutes to go, it looked as though the 30-year-old would finally keep his first Champions League clean sheet in 39 games, a run stretching nearly 10 years.
However, a later Bernardo Silva goal ensured Akinfeev's decade-long wait for a clean sheet goes on, as Monaco stole yet another late point.
Premier League champion Leicester City's 1-0 win against Danish side FC Copenhagen saw it accumulate more points in its three Champions League games that it has managed in eight Premier League games this season.
Jamie Vardy's deep cross was headed back across goal by Islam Slimani and Riyad Mahrez stabbed home his third European goal of the season to go level at the top of the scoring charts.

1. Personality quiz — Know more about our students
As we all are aware that knowing the students' psychology is the premise to perform an excellent teaching scheme. Well, a personality quiz about students' habits, character, interest, etc. may do a favor for us. By analyzing the test results, we can understand students' likes and dislikes, to take better and more suitable teaching strategies. On the basis of knowing students, we will have special strategies for - different students when we implement a teaching plan. Then the whole process of teaching scheme may be carried out smoothly.
2. Pre-class quiz — Prepare a good teaching scheme
Usually, making a pre-class quiz for the coming class will be effective for our teachers, especially the new unexperienced teachers. The quiz results will distinctly show us how much students have known about the coming class and how we should prepare a high-quality class with clear primary and secondary teaching plan.
3. After-class quiz — Know the teaching effects
When finishing a class, teachers have to get feedback on the class from students. An after-class quiz will provide great help to our teachers. From the quiz results, we may find students have uneven distribution status on mastering the previous class. The next step we need to do is to summarize our own defects and merits of teaching, making appropriate adjustment on teaching scheme for a more effective class.
4. Funny quiz — Make an attractive class
It is certainly advantageous for students knowing more extracurriculum knowledge, such as the World Cup, famous writers, basketball stars, etc. During class, we teachers consciously integrate some funny quizzes with teaching plan. Because the class is not a simply poor but colorful class with particular attractive content, students will have much more interest in the class.
All the quizzes we referred, personality quiz, pre-class quiz, after-class quiz and funny quiz can be tested in two different forms: paper-based quiz and online quiz.
Normally, we make paper quizzes with many complicated steps: editing questions, typesetting, printing tests, organizing taking tests, collecting and grading quizzes, collecting statistic data and analyzing the results, etc. But for the online quizzes, we can easily build them with professional quiz maker software like Wondershare Quiz Creator. Making online quiz, we just need to create quizzes with multimedia and post them online. Then students will take the online quiz via Internet at anywhere anytime and the system that comes with Quiz Creator can collect the quiz results automatically.
It is such an effective, highly functional and convenient way to conduct almost every test we teachers can imagine, why not we take full use of the quizzes to get more high-quality education?

Food Friday Featuring: Baked Meringue With Cream, Toasted Hazelnuts, Pears & Chocolate Sauce
Looking for some Easter dessert ideas? Jamie Oliver has come up with a real doozie! Baked meringue never had it so good. There is the double cream to take in consideration, but keep in mind egg whites are virtually fat free.
Jamie says that this dish is "an assemble of wonderful sweet friends". Yes, I think we would have to agree!
• 4 large egg whites, preferably free-range or organic
• 200g unrefined golden caster sugar
• a pinch of sea salt
100g hazelnuts, skins removed
• 2 x 400g tins of halved pears, in syrup
optional: 2 pieces of stem ginger, thinly sliced
• 200g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids)
• 400ml double cream
• 50g icing sugar, sifted
• 1 vanilla pod, halved and seeds scraped out
• zest of 1 orange
Preheat your oven to 150°C/300°F/gas 2 and line a 40 x 25cm baking tray with a sheet of greaseproof paper.
Put your egg whites into a squeaky clean bowl, making sure there are absolutely no little pieces of egg shell or egg yolk in them. Whisk on medium until the whites form firm peaks. With your mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and then pinch of salt. Turn the mixer up to the highest setting and whisk for about 7 or 8 minutes, until the meringue mixture is white and glossy. To test whether it's done you can pinch some between your fingers – if it feels completely smooth it's ready; if it's slightly granular it needs a little more whisking.
Dot each corner of the greaseproof paper with a blob of meringue, then turn it over and stick it to the baking tray. Spoon the meringue out on to the paper. Using the back of a spoon, shape and swirl it into and A4 size rectangle. Place in the preheated oven and bake for an hour or until crisp on the outside and a little soft and sticky inside. At the same time, bake the hazelnuts on a separate tray in the oven for an hour or until golden brown.
Drain the tins of pears, reserving the syrup from one tin. Cut each pear half into three slices. Pour the pear syrup into a saucepan with the ginger and warm gently over a medium heat until it starts to simmer. Take off the heat and snap the chocolate into the saucepan, stirring with a spoon until it's all melted.
Take the meringue and hazelnuts out of the oven and leave to cool. Place the meringue on a nice rustic board or platter. Whip the cream with the sifted icing sugar and the vanilla seeds until it forms smooth, soft peaks. Smash the toasted hazelnuts (in a tea towel) and sprinkle half of them over the top of the meringue. Spoon half the whipped cream over the top and drizzle with some of the chocolate sauce (if the sauce has firmed up, melt it slightly by holding the saucepan over a large pan of boiling water). Divide most of the pear pieces evenly over the top. Pile over the rest of the whipped cream and pears. Drizzle with some more chocolate sauce, then sprinkle over the remaining toasted hazelnuts with some grated orange zest. Serve straight away. If you're making this in advance, get everything ready and assemble at the last minute.

We have had some interesting weather patterns here lately. Lots of rain, lots of sun, and more localized cloudbursts than I can remember ever before. Memphis weather not only inspires conversations, but also poetry. (Didn't see that coming, did you?)
My sister was inspired to compose a haiku about this year's weather. When she suggested I illustrate it, I knew just what to do! Some of my new favorite dies came in to play.
I lovelovelove the raindrops from the Umbrella Weather Framelits! As you might guess, though, keeping lots of itty bitty drops from being lost while work is in progress can be challenging. My solution:
A sticky note with the adhesive die up keeps all those lovely drops handy, findable, and off of my sleeves and lap. And floor...they do like to travel if they get the chance!
I'd love to see art inspired by your weather!

Seattle's all kinds of stormy this week, until Friday, right before Bumbershoot. I'm not making this up – that is what those weather people are forecasting! For day one I ended up choosing shows mostly at the Starbucks and Rhapsody Stages, focussing a lot on several unique female artists, including Elle King and Kacey Musgraves. But I love Smokey Brights and Motopony too. And, I also recommend downloading the Bumbershoot app because it's nifty and useful.
2:00 @ Starbucks Stage
Phoebe Bridgers
Details: A twenty-year-old singer-songwriter from Los Angeles. You probably heard her in the Apple iPhone 5s ad covering the Pixies' song "Gigantic."
Why You Want to See Her: Earlier this year Bridgers released Killer 7″, which was produced by Ryan Adams. That Ryan Adams, who described Bridgers as a "musical unicorn". Adams has rated her so highly he not only produced her work, he put the music on his own label, PAX-AM. She's working on a full-length.
2:45 @ Starbucks Stage
Elle King
Details: King released her debut album, Love Stuff, in 2015. The album's first single, "Ex's & Oh's," has done enormously well in the States and Canada.
Why You Want to See Her: Wait, Elle King is comedian Rob Schneider's daughter! I'm going to digress here, but Schneider, an SNL alum, had a show once called Men Behaving Badly. It was based on the British TV show. Anyway, there was an episode where Schneider's character volunteered for a science study. He ended up lactating, and when he was on an elevator with a baby, well. . . you can guess what happened. It was really funny.
But you want to see Elle King because she's got a rad voice and her songs are really good.
5:45 @ Rhapsody Stage
Duke Evers
Details: Seattle rock and blues duo. Tasty stuff.
Why You Want to See Them: Duke Evers, drummer Kyle Veazey and singer-guitarist Josh Starkel, match hot shows with hot music. And yet, they are cool. I don't know how they are hot and cool, at the same time. Familiarize yourselves with them a bit by listening to their EP, Handful of Pennies.
7:00 @ Rhapsody Stage
Smokey Brights
Details: A very appealing quintet from Seattle. Their vocals are classy, and the music is smooooooth.
Why You Want to See Them: Whenever I put one of these recommended festival shows lists together, if Smokey Brights is at the event, then they're on my list.
8:15 @ Rhapsody Stage
Details: Seattle's Motopony, led by singer Daniel Blue, describes their sound as "cult". Interesting.
Why You Want to See Them: Extremely solid band with a golden sound. They recently toured the UK and India, and in June released an album called Welcome You, which was recorded at Bear Creek Studio.
Motopony's Daniel Blue – photo by Charitie Myers
8:45 @ Starbucks Stage
Kacey Musgraves
Details: Country-Americana singer-songwriter. Ruffles country music's feather like mad.
Why You Want to See Her: Musgraves won New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards in 2013. She also won Best Country Song and Best Country Album at the Grammys that same year. If those factors are important to you, or even if they aren't, I'd catch her show.
9:45 @ #NeverTamed Stage
Lindsey Stirling
Details: Lindsey Stirling does everything.
Why You Want to See Her: Writer/violinist/dancer Stirling is known for an eclectic mix of genres – and for her energetic live shows. I just think it would be difficult to dance and to play violin at the same time. I'm sure she will make it look so easy.

Penelope Clay to Adelaide Hampson
Camden-place. April 1
My dear sister,
Mr Elliot is mine!! Wish me joy, Addie! We leave for town – or to be more exact, my dear William leaves Sydney-place on Tuesday and travels to London to prepare for my arrival. While some necessary alterations are being made to his house in Mayfair, he is arranging for a set of very well-appointed private apartments for me off Drury Lane. I shall write from that address as soon as may be.
The Elliots entertain no notion of this (though Miss Anne did spy on a meeting between us in Bath Street and challenged me on it, whereat I improvised vague excuses which seemed to allay her suspicions). All are now preoccupied with the sudden engagement of Anne to Captain Wentworth. She has indeed recaptured him after all these years! Sir Walter is mollified by the captain's wealth and wonders if in light of his naval reputation there is a chance of the bestowal of a knighthood – a baronetage being of course out of the question. Miss Elizabeth says little, looks pained in private but in public bestows ingratiating smiles on Mr Elliot. (Imagine her vexation when she discovers that she has lost him to me!)
The discovery must not be immediate and so I beg your silence, especially with Papa. I do not doubt that he will eventually rejoice at the acquisition of such a son, but the marriage must be delayed a little in light of the relatively recent death of the first Mrs Elliot. There are several legal complications to which Mr Elliot must give his full attention before we make our engagement public.
Although it grieves me to postpone a reunion with the girls, Mr Elliot thinks it in their best interest not to hazard their health or disturb their tranquility by a removal to town.
I have not the least doubt that they will be much happier remaining at Ashley-hall with their cousins and kind Aunt Adelaide.
Your happy and ever grateful sister,

Crealy – is it really Cornwall's 'No.1 Family Day Out'?
In their crazy little minds Crealy was the holy grail of fun. In my mind it was the sort of place that I'd need to brace myself for crowds, chaos and queues. As it turned out, in many ways they were right and I was wrong. Continue reading

Bonnie's Mom's Tomato Sauce
- 4 cans (14-16 ounces) tomatoes, crushed, whole, or stewed, pref. salt free
- 2 small cans tomato paste, preferably salt-free
- 1 large can stems and pieces mushrooms
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic SALT (not garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon celery seed
- 1/4 (scant) teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Olive oil (or other good salad oil)
- 1/3 cup red wine (optional)
- Cook chopped onion in a couple of tablespoons oil, until limp, but not brown.
- Add other ingredients, breaking up tomatoes if they are whole.
- Cook in a 4-quart pot, or dutch oven, but the latter may be too big. Simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thickened to desired consistency.
- Right before it is done, add a little more olive oil for flavor, as cooking tends to destroy the flavor of olive oil. Use a good extra-virgin oil, like Goya (Consumer Report top rated it as a "Best Buy," as it is cheap AND good).
You can vary this recipe by adding 1 pound lean ground beef to the onions when they are cooking. Or buy pre-made Italian-flavored meatballs, and add them to the sauce the last 20 minutes or so, to heat through. I use Italian-style turkey meatballs, and they are quite good.
Serve over cooked pasta of any kind. I like Vermicelli, because it cooks quickly. Shell noodles are good, too.
Note: If you use salt-free tomatoes and paste, and the sauce tastes a bit bland despite the garlic salt, then use salt-free tomatoes, but regular tomato paste.
Also, if you have a new bottle or can of pepper flakes, go easy on the flakes; they will be very hot the first time it's opened. Once it's been opened for awhile, then you can use a little more. And you won't need as much oil when cooking it with ground beef. And you may need to make the celery seed and garlic salt HEAPING tablespoons if you cook with ground beef, as it tends to tone down the flavors.

Wedding & Event Planning Tips
Relax, we're here to help!
Austin and Central Texas weddings keep all of our DJs busy, all year! However, we also stay very busy doing Quinceaneras, Sweet 16s, parties, and events, too! We've found that Quinceaneras and Sweet 16s are very similar to weddings. Planning these events requires just as much time and attention to detail as weddings. As you may have found out, Austin, San Antonio, and central Texas is a very popular place to have a wedding, quinceanera, party or event. Many of our clients are from other cities and states, and plan to have their wedding, or event in Austin. We know Austin is fabulous, so we can't blame them! :) So our advice is to start planning, early! This often means up to 1 year before your event. So let's get to the details.
1. Determine Your Date
First and foremost, determine the date of your event. If you're having a quinceanera or sweet 16, this will most-likely be on a date, very close to the actual birthday; however, we've seen many people plan to have their event on a different date that works best for their family and friends. The picture above, was from a Quinceanera we did on June 11. The family chose to have the event in June, so that people could travel and attend the party, kids were off from school, etc. So remember, having a flexible date can be an option!
2. Book a Venue
Right after you have your date planned, you should book your venue as soon as possible. Most people want to have a Saturday event, and therefore, many venues get booked up to a year or more, in advance, for Saturday events. If having your event on a different night is an option, consider this to have more venue options and even save a little money, since many venues will offer a better rate for a non-Saturday event!
3. Find a Caterer/Food
I'm sure you're surprised that we haven't said to book your DJ, yet, but we give our honest advice, and don't simply try to pitch our business. :) So now that you have your place, the next thing is to find a catering company or restaurant that will serve your food. We recommend this, early on, simply because the same rule that applies with venues, applies with catering and food. You'll need to find time to actually sample the food, so schedule a future date where you can take a weekend to try the different options. Even attending a Quinceanera or Sweet 16 expo is a good idea, since there are many caterers there, and you can sample their food on site.
4. Find Your Dress
Quinceanera and Sweet 16 dresses are not everyday clothing, so these dresses are limited to very exclusive clothing retailers. With so many people in Austin and Central Texas, your options are limited, so it's best to find these retailers and check out their options. A good time-saver is to go online, to see if they have their clothing online. This will save you some time!
5. Book Your DJ & Photo Booth
Okay, so here we are, finally on the list! Booking a DJ for your event is very crucial to the success of your event. Quinceaneras often require a DJ who is versatile and can play a variety of genres of music. The DJ should also be familiar with all the ceremonial traditions of the Quinceanera, such as the changing of the shoes, jewelry/crown presentation, the last doll, court waltz, surprise dance, etc. All of these traditions are a very important part of this special day, so be sure to hire a DJ that has lots of experience with Quinceaneras. Ask your DJ company what options they have, as well. You may want uplighting, a custom monogram, a photo booth, a projector to show a slideshow, etc. Any professional DJ will have these options. If they do not, find a DJ/company who does.
Additionally, consider adding more entertainment by booking a photo booth! Everyone loves to take selfies at the photo booth. The best part, you can add custom text onto each printout and your guests will have something to take home to remember the special day!
6. Book Mariachis
Many people book Mariachis for the dinner portion of their Quinceanera, or Sweet 16. This is optional, but always nice. Having live entertainment is a nice touch. We recommend booking your Mariachis early, since there are not a whole lot of options, so they get booked up pretty early!
7. Book a Photographer
Quinces and Sweet 16s are a milestone moment in a young woman's life, so capturing these memories is very important! Be sure to meet with a few photographers and view their portfolios, to be sure their work is great! Memories are priceless, so be sure to get great pictures and video, if you prefer, of the entire event!
8. Decor
Last, but not least, is the decor. This is the fun part! Think of the theme you'd like, first. Finding a theme helps you identify what decor to look for. A new trend with quinces that we've been doing, lately, is a Paris theme. Who doesn't love Paris? :) We traveled their in late 2015, and again in 2017, and it was absolutely amazing! Capturing the greatness of Paris is tough, but there are many decorations that you can find, that will do just this! Start on Pinterest for ideas!
We hope that these 8 tips have helped you start planning your event. This is not an all-inclusive list by any means, but a great place to start. We offer a very detailed Quinceanera planning document that helps you plan out the entire reception, from dinner, to the ceremonial moments, to the last dance! Be sure your DJ has a timeline of events, to help guide the night, if a day-of-coordinator is not available. As always, feel free to email us, if you have any questions, and we'll be happy to help!

I've had such a not good week. A week ago last Friday, was when it all started. Went to work, as usual, and at our lunch break, I saw my boss walking over. And he wasn't smiling. Seems his boss, the State of Colorado has reduced our hours. I lose 5 hours a week. I'm barely making it as it is… Not a good ending to my work week.
Then I got home. I open the door and thought 'What is that smell?' So I went searching. This is what I found…
When I went out into the room where the ceiling fell, I very quickly realized that the sheet rock that was still up, and the stuff on the floor was covered with mold. Oh yea. So I called my land lady to let her know. In the meantime, because I have asthma and don't need to breathe anything ugly, I closed and sealed up the room. Duct tape and garbage bags do a pretty good job.
Then Saturday, I got a letter from Social Security Disability saying I had to go to Pueblo (a 2 hour 15 minute drive) for a Doctor's appointment. Oh, and if you can't make it, you will be denied Disability. Oh yea, again. But, Mom and Cindy were looking for a good reason to go to Pueblo, so, it was okay.
On Sunday, some roofers showed up and put a big temporary patch on my roof. They will be back to replace the house roof, at least. Okay, yea. They still have to figure out how to do mold abatement, though…
Went to work on Monday and found that they thought I was cutting my hours early and not coming in, so they used one of the Community Service people do my job. So, for 3 hours, I just sat and watched TV. I don't mind watching TV, but not really at work. *sigh*
When I got home from work on Wednesday, there was a message from my mother. Seems she had been trying to get a hold of me all day. (On Wed. and Fridays I don't carry my phone with me because the lady I work with on those days thinks cell phones are rude and unnecessary, and as she has the beginnings of dementia, I just don't carry my phone. It's easier.) Seems my brother had called Tuesday evening and wanted to meet for lunch in Limon on Friday. Mom told him no, to meet us in Pueblo at the The Black-Eyed Pea for lunch. I said that was great, but what was all the urgency for? Seems he had Mom's (Cindy's) new car ready and that meant I got Mom's old car. Which means I get to park my truck, until I can decide what to do with her.
Saturday was a very long day, but I made it through the physical exam and the X-Rays. We were only a few minutes late for lunch, and I now have a newer car.
So, all in all, things ended pretty well. I also got my ballot in the mail on Saturday – Yea! – and it's ready to be mailed back. Oh, and I found out that, even though I've lost hours, I will continue to be employed. I gather there are some who won't.
So, here's hoping for a better week. Oh, and Happy Halloween to all!

Is Nature pushing drugs to scientists?11 Apr 2008
So last year, Nature did an editorial about "cognitive enhancement" drugs, and now they've done a web survey to follow up on the editorial, asking their readers to comment on whether they've used prescription or other drugs for enhancing their performance. It's been widely reported that this is a survey of scientists (Nature's main audience), although being a web survey it's probably not all that representative.
The magazine reports on the results this week:
One in five respondents said they had used drugs for non-medical reasons to stimulate their focus, concentration or memory. Use did not differ greatly across age-groups (see line graph, right), which will surprise some.
The graph mentioned shows that the 60-year-olds dose themselves just as much as 30-year-olds, and nearly as much as those less than 25. The main drugs are Ritalin, Provigil, beta blockers (which combat anxiety), and Adderall. The number who use these under prescriptions is dwarfed by those using them illicitly.
But here's what I find interesting:
The most popular reason for taking the drugs was to improve concentration. Improving focus for a specific task (admittedly difficult to distinguish from concentration) ranked a close second and counteracting jet lag ranked fourth, behind 'other' which received a few interesting reasons, such as "party", "house cleaning" and "to actually see if there was any validity to the afore-mentioned article".
In other words, some proportion of the respondents started using drugs because they read about it in Nature.
Jeez, I wonder what other things people start believing just because they read it in Nature...

1. Drugs are bad
2. Drugs will take over your soul
3. Using drugs will most likely kill four of your friends/family members
4. You will definitely lose a limb from using drugs (just like the guy from Requiem for a Dream)
5. Like your last girlfriend/wife, drugs are feminine and are a real "bitch"
Great film by the way.
The Limit of Shunt is a counterweight to the media reporting on drugs that too often contributes to the stigma against people who use drugs and the widespread misunderstanding of the drugs issue. Contributions are from a variety of sources, but this blog makes no apologies for the clear stance that it takes. Thank you for turning on, tuning in, and dropping by.

Remind me who does the exploiting again?
The following excerpt is from a 2007 Guardian article that I have come across far too late; but it may be safe to state that the people exacerbating the harms come in all shapes and sizes—and some even wear lab coats, or like to utter the words "En", "Gee", and "Oh":
"She has come to the clinic for more than 20 years. In that time, more than $22m in scientific grant money has flowed through the project, and many of the researchers have earned reputations as the top experts in their fields. Yet Agnes and a handful of other women are still selling sex, to an average of eight clients a day, still for a dollar or two each time - although they say they would like nothing more than to get out of sex work."

Drug envy
"In this research, envy is typically described as a painful emotion that emerges as a result of upward comparison to advantaged others, who possess something that one covets but lacks. Envy is an unalienable part of social interaction, with people experiencing this feeling in private and workplace settings, or any other environment, where inter-personal interactions take place. On the positive side, benign envy was shown to lead to learning, motivation, better performance, and achievement. On the negative side, malicious envy leads to [a] desire to harm the envied object and breeds hostility. Endured over longer time periods, envy can damage one's sense of self-worth, result in group dissatisfaction and withdrawal, lead to depressive tendencies, reduce perceptions of well-being, and [lead to] poor mental health."
This segment has been taken from a German report, entitled Envy on Facebook: A Hidden Threat to Users' Life Satisfaction?, published in the second decade of the 21st century. The report specifically examines the social media phenomenon, but, funnily enough, I couldn't help but be reminded of the global drug situation during the same time period.
Even though countless people are yet to realize that drugs are primarily a source of pleasure—thereby explaining the frequency with which they are used by the vast majority of humans—the fact remains: if you just happen to find yourself in a situation where the drug/s you most appreciate is/are illegal, and too many days have been spent walking past people who are joyously enjoying their drug/s in licensed venues, or glancing at promotional material for events that rely on the liberal consumption of legal drugs to be successful, then why wouldn't you progressively breed feelings of resentment, alienation, envy and hostility? I dare say it may be akin to the feelings that developed for women when they were denied the right to vote; or slaves in the United States who just could not comprehend why they couldn't also sit on their own porch at sunset and enjoy a pleasant meal with their family—or something like that.
I could go on, but anyone with a functioning brain will be able to read the aforementioned paragraphs and connect the dots. Maybe ponder this when you are next anticipating your caffeine hit or awaiting paracetamol for that headache, and then think about that really angry person you once read about, who held someone up for money.

Minn. stowaway, 9, ordered separated from parents
MINNEAPOLISA judge has ruled a 9-year-old boy who eluded security at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and stowed away on a flight to Las Vegas should live away from his parents for now while all receive therapy.
A hearing was held Wednesday on a petition by Hennepin County seeking protection or county services for the boy.
} }
The judge also ordered therapy for the boy and his family.
The petition says the child has serious behavioral issues. He's stolen a truck, been suspended from school and repeatedly runs away from home.
The boy's father says the family's previous attempts to get help for the boy hit official roadblocks. The child got by security at the airport Oct. 3 and wound up in Las Vegas.
The father, who wouldn't give his name and concealed his face behind the closed hood of a black sweatshirt and a pulled-down baseball cap during a recent press conference, told reporters in Minneapolis that the boy said he was taking out the trash when his mother came home and the father left to run errands Oct. 2.
"I'm a parent; I'm not perfect," said the man, who became emotional several times during the press conference. "We assumed that he was at a friend's house."
Smith read a statement from the boy's mother, who was not at the press conference.
"I love my son," Smith read from the statement. "I miss my son. I want my son home."
The father acknowledged his son's past troubles, which most recently include being accused of stealing a utility vehicle from downtown Minneapolis and a bag from baggage claim at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where he was also accused of not paying for a meal of chicken tenders and a soda at a restaurant.
"When he damaged those cars, I didn't know what was going through my son's head," the father said. "I just hoped and prayed that nobody get hurt."
The father also said that his son had been suspended from school for fighting.
The father said he has begged authorities for help with his son but wasn't provided any because he is a minor. When he said he suggested to a police officer that he should punish his son physically, the officer told the father that he would be arrested.
"If I whoop my son, I get locked up," the father said. "If I let my son keep on doing what he's doing, I get in trouble. Somebody please help me. Please."
There have allegedly been four child protection assessments conducted on the boy's family since last December, and staff members have labeled him a "challenging child," CBS station WCCO in Minneapolis reports.

I'm working on a project trying to auto-bookmark folders based on how frequently a folder/directory is visited. I have searched exhaustively as to how to monitor folders visited by the current user. Can anyone guide me as to how to construct a script for doing the same?
