The rap against the Wrangler is a wobbly argument
If the English-speaking world changed the name of the common cold to "fatal sniffles," the ubiquitous ailment would sure get a lot more attention from drug companies and the media -- but the symptoms would remain.
The common cold is an effect of our body's design, the cost of living in a world filled with viruses and having a nose.
Such is the case with the named-for-TV-news Jeep "death wobble," a condition inherent to any vehicle with straight front axles which has jumped back into the news.
To consumers whose videos showing the condition litter YouTube, the ill-named "death wobble" is a violent shaking of the steering wheel and front steering linkage at certain speeds. If a driver fails to react, it potentially could cause loss of control.
Two members of Congress -- one of a select few professions held in lower regard by the public than journalists and car salespeople -- have now taken up the cause of the "death wobble." They've asked Chrysler to alert owners of straight-axle Jeeps, like the Wrangler and 1984-2001 Cherokee, of the condition and suggest methods to repair and prevent the problem.
But to engineers, the potential for "wobble" is an inherent design limitation of all vehicles with straight front axles and transverse steering -- designed for rugged applications -- and is related to the interaction between its steering geometry and suspension. Engineers can work to minimize the effects of the wobble in solid-axle vehicles, but they can never eliminate it entirely.
The Wrangler's solid front axle, track bar and drag-link steering system is an integral part of what gives the 4x4 its unmatched off-road chops -- in short, it's what makes the Wrangler a Wrangler. For visual proof of what I'm talking about, just search for photos of off-road enthusiasts rock climbing and see the ridiculous angles that even a stock Wrangler's tires can move relative to its body.
But the off-road functionality provided by such systems comes at a price: on roadways at certain speeds, the front wheels can develop a harmonic resonance with the tie rod, which connects the front wheels together. It can make a kind of feedback loop of shaking that grows upon itself until it's interrupted, like a microphone that's too close to its speaker.
This is especially true if the vehicle isn't properly maintained, if the tires have uneven tread wear, if it's out of alignment, or if any of the suspension components are worn or broken.
Concerns about "death wobble" may be the inevitable consequence of more consumers buying -- and perhaps Chrysler or dealers selling -- a vehicle like the Jeep Wrangler as though it were any other "put it in drive and forget it" sedan. It's not. It's a specialized vehicle designed for off-roading, which also happens to be able to provide a relatively comfortable ride as a daily driver.
I agree with the two member of Congress that more consumer education is needed, and that should start at the dealership with the sales process. Chrysler has broken its monthly sales records for the Wrangler in each of the last two months, and Wrangler sales are up 33 percent so far this year at 70,871 units.
Consumers don't seem concerned about the "death wobble" reports so far, but they do need to be educated what to expect.
If consumers know that this condition is less likely to occur with frequent tire rotations and regular maintenance, they are less likely to over-react when it does happen.
But I don't agree that Chrysler needs to change the design of the Wrangler, or abandon its coil-link suspension or transverse steering, just because consumers can't properly maintain their vehicles or drive within its capabilities.

Your cart is empty!
Anyone who has ever worked with a bread board can tell you that the wiring can get very complicated very quickly. Keeping your wires color coded and solidly connected to your board can mean the difference between a sucessful circuit and having to tear everything down ans start from scratch. That's where the Breadboard Jumper Wire Pack comes in.
These wires come in an assortment of colors and lengths and are designed for use with breadboards. The insulated wire is stranded, making it extremly flexible, but on each end, a solid core piece has been soldered on. The connection has then been capped with a plastic fitting that makes it very easy to position your wire and make sure you have a solid connection with your breadboard. You'll never have to worry about stripping prototyping wire 'just right' again.

ANGOLAN GIANT FOUND, according to articles in PhysOrg and Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences vol 83, p221 16 March 2011. An international team of palaeontologists have studied the bones of the first dinosaur to be found in Angola. Octavio Mateus of Portugal's Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Museum of Lourinha found the fossil in 2005. The bones are a partial right forelimb including the scapula, humerus, ulna, radius and metacarpals (toe bones) of a sauropod. Sauropods were a group of large plant eating dinosaurs that were the largest land animals ever to live on earth. The new fossil has been given the scientific name Angolatitan adamastor, meaning Angolan giant and is named after Adamastor - a mythical South Atlantic sea monster feared by Portuguese sailors. The dinosaur has been dated as 90 million years old on the basis of fish, shark teeth and ammonites found buried with it. The researchers suggest it had been washed out to sea and eaten by sharks. Link: PhysOrg
ED. COM. Here is another example of a dinosaur found buried amongst sea creatures. It would take a flood of catastrophic proportions to sweep a Titanosaur sized creature out to sea. The reference to a sea monster in the dinosaurs name reminds us there are numerous sea monster stories around the world. Just like dragon stories about land creatures, sea monster stories could have a basis in reality. The Bible describes a large sea monster called leviathan, which does not fit any living sea creature, but would fit some semi aquatic dinosaurs. (Ref. reptiles, sauropods, fossilisation)

Welcome to the MassDOT ITS Standards Development Website.
This web page contains the project documents and presentation slides that have been developed as part of the effort to create MassDOT's ITS Strategic Plan. During the project, an emphasis was placed on identifying protocols, standards, and best practices with the ultimate goal of supporting statewide interoperability.
If there are any questions or comments about the materials on this page, please contact Pete Sutton at MassDOT Planning (firstname.lastname@example.com)
This effort to identify key ITS Standards for Massachusetts consists of two main components:
ITS Standards Framework: First, a needs analysis was conducted to determine which key ITS Standards would be appropriate to include in the framework. The methodology to determine whether an ITS Standard is "key" for the Commonwealth depends largely on the perceived and documented needs for communication of ITS information. Starting from an initial list of standards from the National ITS Standards Program, the needs were used to identify whether an ITS Standard applies. Four factors were used, plus other factors based on discussion with the SIPCC (Statewide ITS Planning and Coordination Committee) to help identify whether an ITS standard is "key". The criteria included:
The ITS Standards Framework is contained in a report accessible through the following link: Massachusetts Key ITS Standards
In addition to the ITS Standards Framework, workshops were held to educate MassDOT staff about guidance and resources available, as well as how to use the guidance and framework to develop ITS standards-based project specifications. The course was titled Using Massachusetts Key ITS Standards in Deployment: Identification, Specification, and Testing. The training materials, in the form of a Powerpoint presentation, are available from the following link: Using Massachusetts Key ITS Standards in Deployment: Identification, Specification, and Testing.

UPPER EAST SIDE — Now you don't have to feel guilty about holiday shopping: Two Museum Mile institutions announced Sunday that they will donate proceeds from store sales to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The Museum of the City of New York's shop, as well as the soon-to-open new Museum for African Art's online store, will donate 5 percent of gross receipts from Black Friday (Nov. 23) to Monday, Nov. 26, according to spokesman Jeff Simmons.
Simmons said that the museum, located at 1220 Fifth Ave., made the decision late last week.
"The Museum of the City of New York brought up the idea and reached out to the Museum of African Art, since it's practically across the street," Simmons said. "They enthusiastically said 'Yes!"
Susan Henshaw Jones, MCNY president, also heads up the South Street Seaport Museum, at 12 Fulton St.
That institution has remained closed since Sandy, owing to storm-prompted power outages.
"Everyone at the museum was moved by what has happened across the city," Simmons said. "The storm's impact really hit home."

[[!img UPEK Eikon Reader]
upekts driver supports devices based on the UPEK TouchStrip chipset. These devices were originally engineered and manufactured by SGS Thomson Microelectronics but they split the business and formed UPEK in 2004.
upekts is part of libfprint and is developed/maintained by Daniel Drake.
Supported devices
This driver supports devices found in IBM/Lenovo ?ThinkPad laptops, and can also be found embedded into some Dell and Toshiba laptops (amongst other devices). It is also found in the standalone Eikon fingerprint reader.
These devices, although often embedded into laptops, are actually USB devices sitting on the USB bus.
The driver does not support the ?TouchStrip fingerprint reader with USB ID's 147e:2016 found in some of the newer ?ThinkPads. This version of the device is just a sensor (no biometric coprocessor) and is instead supported by the upeksonly driver.
This driver does not support devices based on the UPEK ?TouchChip (0483:2015). Such hardware is supported by the upektc driver instead.
This driver does not work with fingerprint readers integrated into Sony laptops, even though they have the usual 0483:2016 ID. See ../Unsupported devices
Driver history
This driver was based on code from the thinkfinger project, developed by Timo Hoenig. Timo's work was an adaption of Pavel Machek's reverse engineering efforts.
Pavel's efforts were based on bus traffic analysis of UPEK's own closed-source drivers.
Device operation
After initial inspection of UPEK's BioAPI-based Linux driver software and analysis of the corresponding bus traffic, Pavel observed that these devices must do image processing in hardware. The enrollment process for a single finger is approximately as follows:
- Initialise enrollment mode
- Swipe finger 3 times
Receive about 200 bytes of data from the device, save to a file Then, later, the verification process of that single finger is approximately:
Initialise verification mode
- Upload previously-saved fingerprint data to device (approx 200 bytes)
- Swipe finger once The device then gives a "yes" or "no" answer to the computer, as to whether the finger matched or not.
This mode of operation is vastly in contrast to other supported devices, which typically just present images to the host computer and leave the problem of processing and matching fingerprints to the software. On the other hand, it made reverse engineering these devices relatively easy.
The simplicity of the software-level driver code makes for other interesting applications too. For example, most ?ThinkPads can use the fingerprint scanner as a power-on password. This wouldn't be realistic for a device that requires software to do image processing.
Like UPEK's system and thinkfinger,
upekts operates the device as detailed above. I have made a visible effort in upekts to understand the command format and command flow in more detail than thinkfinger goes into, and as such, the code flows in a more linear fashion. However, there are still a lot of unknowns.
Security notes
After enrollment, the fingerprint data mentioned above is stored on disk. The format of this data is unknown, but I have demonstrated that the device does not record further information internally and that this data is enough to uniquely identify your fingerprint. I did this by enrolling my finger on one device, saving the data to disk, then uploading that data to a second device and successfully verifying my finger on that one.
In other words, we store data on disk that can probably be used somehow to reconstruct certain elements of your fingerprint.
Bus traffic is not encrypted (not that we understand the data format anyway).
Other capabilities
I briefly tested an Eikon device under windows, and was very impressed at it's wide range of capabilities (which are not available on the UPEK Linux driver). I assume all these capabilities are also present on the other devices you can find the ?TouchStrip in.
- Early on, the Windows software asks you if you'd like to store the fingerprints in the device or on the computer.
- If you choose to store on the device, it informs you that you can store 21 fingerprints there. Just in case you have 21 fingers. It also gives you functionality to delete them all off the device at any time.
- The device can operate as an imaging device! The Windows software includes a 'tutorial' mode where you can scan your finger and view it on-screen to check your swiping technique. The image quality looks fantastic here.
- I'm not sure if "storing on the computer" is similar to what happens above (just saving a small 200ish bytes of data) or actually storing the images on disk and doing software-based fingerprint image processing/matching.
- There is some encryption feature where the data stored on-disk can optionally be encrypted, based on a key that the device gives you only after you have successfully scanned your finger against one stored in hardware (or something like that). Interesting.
- One drawback of the way that the UPEK-linux/thinkfinger/upekts operate the device is that they can only verify a specified single finger at any one time (you can't ask it to identify one-of-ten enrolled scans, for example). This limits our horizons with upekts. However, at various points, the Windows driver asked me to "scan any finger" and it accepted any of them. They had all been enrolled "in hardware". So, these devices DO support identification somehow.
- The windows software also offers you the ability to scroll with the sensor. The above suggests that the Windows driver operates the device in a very different way from the way the Linux options operate. Indeed, the bus traffic is rather different, but it doesn't seem easy to immediately dig further and reverse-engineer this functionality: after a few commands, the bus traffic seems to become encrypted or scrambled. I guess this can become a future project :)

We don't know what goes on in Fort Wayne, Ind. We've never been there and have no desire to visit. But we do know that today, in Fort Wayne, local, state, and federal officials carried out a raid on two homes owned by longtime NFL offensive tackle Jason Fabini, who played for the Jets, Cowboys, and Redskins from 1998 until 2008, and his brother Michael. An FBI spokesperson told WANE that the investigations were part of its Safe Streets initiative, which is designed to combat violent crime. The Journal Gazette reports that Fabini is not yet a suspect in the investigation.
Agents reportedly took lots of boxes out of the home for most of the morning. But we don't know what was in the boxes. Twitter has a theory, though. If you know anything more, let us know.
Update (3 p.m.): Multiple tipsters have written in and connected Fabini's brother to Matthew McChesney, a Fort Wayne pot dealer who was sentenced to 27 years in prison in March 2011. In 2008, police raided McChesney's home and found three tons of marijuana and an AK-47. McChesney was, our tipsters say, one of Michael Fabini's employees.
A reader familiar with the federal investigation tells us that Michael Fabini "is one of the largest drug dealers in Northern Indiana," and that he (and others, although not Jason) will be indicted tomorrow.
Here's WANE's report:

CALIFORNIA -- House.com is a complete sham.I went against my better judgment and signed up being promised legitimate leads, actual people that are looking to buy houses in my area, and what I got was numbers and e-mails that no one answers (not even a voice mail) and the ones I did get a hold of were very surprised that I had got there number and were indeed not looking for a home, one lady told me she was browsing the net and that might have been how she got involved but she was most definitely not looking for a house or would she be in the future.
One guy laughed because he thought it was funny that they had him down as wanting a home for almost a million dollars and that he specified that he needed three bathrooms. Of course he told me he doesn't know how they got his number and information. All involved said they would also state this to House.com BUT there so-called customer service hung up on me and said there was no way I can cancel because I'm in a contract with them.
Seems to me that contract was for real leads not phone numbers and names bought from other websites or phone book. I would be better off cold calling on doors! DON'T FALL FOR HOUSE.com they are a sham!I have reported them to consumer affairs in North Carolina and to the Better Business Bureau. I guess that's all I can do!
I got two seller leads today from these people, one has been on the market for about a month, the other has been on for over two and a half months. This means they're sitting on their leads since your paying on a per lead basis with these guys. I would stay far away from any company that is pay per lead, they'll give you what you pay for and save the rest for the next billing cycle.

Six of the 2013-14 National Champion teams have been awarded Public Recognition Awards.
- University of Georgia women's swimming and diving
- University of Colorado men's cross country
- University of Connecticut women's field hockey
- University of Oklahoma women's gymnastics
- University of Notre Dame men's soccer
- Providence College women's cross country
- Loyola University Chicago men's volleyball team
The following conferences had the most teams receiving awards this year:
- Ivy League (117)
- Patriot League (94)
- Atlantic Coast Conference (77)
- Big Ten Conference (66)
The following schools had the most teams receive awards this year:
- Dartmouth College (26)
- Brown University (22)
- Bucknell University (21)
More than 1,000 Division I sports teams are being honored by the NCAA for top scores in the classroom.
Based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate, these teams have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting scores in the top 10 percent of their sport.
APRs for all Division I teams will be released May 14. The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams nationally. Teams must meet a certain academic threshold to qualify for the postseason, and they also can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
The 1,049 teams publicly recognized for high achievement represent 631 women's teams and 418 men's or mixed squads. In 2013, 976 teams were recognized.
The scores required to be in the top ten ranged from 980 to a perfect 1,000, depending on the sport, with the majority of top 10 teams earning a perfect APR.
"Each year, more and more teams are achieving perfect APR scores," said NCAA president Mark Emmert. "We are proud of our member schools' commitment to providing tremendous opportunities for student-athletes so they can succeed on the field, in the classroom, and in life."
While the spring championship season is still ongoing, six NCAA national champions from the 2013-14 season are already included in this year's award list:
University of Georgia women's swimming and diving; University of Colorado men's cross country; Providence College women's cross country; University of Connecticut women's field hockey; Oklahoma University's women's gymnastics; and University of Notre Dame men's soccer.
A total of 275 Division I schools (and seven in other divisions who have a sport competing in Division I) placed at least one team on the top APR list, up 19 from last year.
Dartmouth College had the most teams (26 of 28) recognized, followed by Brown University (22 of 31) and Bucknell University (21 of 27). The conferences with the most teams receiving recognition are the Ivy League (117), Patriot League (94), Atlantic Coast Conference (77) and Big Ten Conference (66).
The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in each sport.
The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-2012 and 2012-13 academic years.

Wildfire alert issued across state
Mississippi Forestry Commission officials have issued a statewide wildland fire alert and are discouraging the public from all burning activities until further notice.
The alert was issued Thursday due to the current drought conditions and predicted weather pattern for the next week, which is calling for dry and windy conditions.
The National Weather Service has also placed Oktibbeha County and most of central Mississippi under a "fire weather watch" through 7 p.m. today, with the possibility of an extension.
A fire weather watch means that low humidity levels, the lack of rainfall and windy conditions with the potential for gusts could spread a wildfire across dry grasslands and forest areas rapidly. The Weather Service, along with the Forestry Commission, is discouraging outdoor burning.
"These conditions, combined with the high winds and low humidity expected from the approaching dry cold fronts, create an increased risk for devastating wildland fires," Forestry Commission officials said in a statement.
Fire crews in all of the Forestry Commission's districts across the state have been placed on call this weekend to facilitate quick response for any wildfires that occur. All Forestry Commission district offices stopped issuing burn permits beginning Friday.
As of Friday morning, 21 Mississippi counties — including neighboring Winston, Lowndes and Clay counties and several others within a short drive from Oktibbeha County — have enacted burn bans. The number of counties with burn bans is expected to increase, Forestry Commission officials said.
Officials in Louisville have also imposed a ban on all outdoor burning of natural vegetation such as grass, wood, limbs, straw or hay in the open. Excluded are outdoor fires in confined fireplaces, grills and barbecues.
The Forestry Commission's wildland fire alert comes in the wake of two wildfires that occurred in Oktibbeha County on Thursday.
An afternoon fire in the Craig Springs area of south Oktibbeha County ravaged an estimated 200 acres of grass and woodland area. A second wildfire in the Oktoc area in southeast Oktibbeha County also burned several acres of land.
"Until hazardous conditions improve, we ask every to use caution while doing outdoor activities and to not do any outdoor burning, which includes logging debris, prescribed burning, small brush piles, trash piles and camp fires. With the opining of the first deer season this weekend and more people in the forest, we ask that people be cautious of ignition sources, such as discarding cigarette butts," Forestry Commission officials said in a statement.
"Under these conditions, it only takes one spark to start a devastating wildfire."
Anyone who spots a wildfire is encouraged to immediately dial 911.

Was it so hot?
I was having to much fun that I hardly noticed...
ME and B wen to see Jackie in Canton, CT to Pick up the first load of
BASICS HOUSE BLOCK QUILTS that she quilted for me... 19 quilts!!!!
the quilt on the left was made by Maria, below in orange.
She was so sweet to have made the entire quilt with the house blocks...
so It was one I did not have to make!
HUGE thank you!
Below, next to Maria, is Pam.
Pam , another angel is quilting 5 other tops for me.
me,center (hello),

Thank You, Thank you Jackie!
You've been a huge helper and supporter of this project.
and Next to Jackie, is Karen Griska.
You know Karen,
the astrik/selvageblog/online quilt museum lady!
Everything she touches, is L O V E L Y...
Karen gave me some lovely blocks to play with. I love the colors!
and a little scrap of PICKLES fabrics she thought I'd like for my scrappy quilts...
ha! to cute...
It may have been a scorcher outside, but it was lovely company inside with air conditioning!
(Although potato guns where being blasted outside and
raw eggs cracked on the pavement to see if they would fry!)
So B said it was a fantastic day too. pheew!

Presenting the Water Sports Series, an option package designed expressly for wakeboarders. And when fused with the intrinsic advantages of traditional Cobalt models, the wakeboarding value of a sterndrive is obvious: no need to add ballast to enlarge the wake when a simple adjustment of the drive trim easily does as much.
Water Sports Tower with Bimini Top - From it's heavy gauge anodized polished aluminum stock to precision machined billet fittings and joints to a fold down design, this tower is pro-athlete strong with lifelong good looks. The perfectly integrated racks to port and starboard carry your four favorite boards in complete security. Solid. Rattle free. Then with a quick release of a swivel lock the racks swing inboard for safe access. Additional options including tower speakers with high-power amplifiers, tower spotlights, and a driver's rear-view mirror expand the water sports experience.
Exterior Graphics - The look begins with a split gelcoat hull design available in any combination of standard Cobalt gelcoat colors. Then comes the chrome silver WSS hull crystal cap emblems and transom Water Sports Series badge. And for the finishing touch we're introducing new three inch black chrome COBALT insignias in an edgy chiseled style.
Interior Styling - WSS styling continues on the interior with finishing touches that include Water Sports Series badging, and a choice of color matched piping throughout the upholstery. The WSS helm with standard digital instruments, Satin dash finish, and available Perfect Pass cruise control, create the right environment to manage launch central.

The night will also include a silent auction featuring wrestling memorabilia. As for what kind of stories we can expect from Punk, Cabana said, "Punk really wanted to share a story about his trip to Iraq with (WWE CEO) Vince McMahon."

Canadians exploring in the bedroom: Exclusive poll
On behalf of average couples everywhere, will someone punch Christian Grey is the face?
The antihero of the Fifty Shades of Grey novels has managed to screw up a lot of splendidly routine sex lives.
The S&M erotic series is now the benchmark on popular sex.
So we have to begrudgingly give a submissive bow to its limits during our five-part annual QMI Agency national sex survey.
Leger Marketing found while Canadians are largely satisfied with our sex lives, many have considered spicing things up.
Pollster Dave Scholz, an executive vice president for Leger, notes 23% of Canadians say they've tried bondage or some other elements of S&M. He reasons: "I would not be surprised if that wouldn't have been a lower number before Fifty Shades of Grey."
But slow down with the riding crop, Canada.
My wife and I have been together since high school. And I'm a hearts and flowers man — not tie-you-up guy.
Think Moose rather than Reggie.
But am I now quietly being judged against a painful ideal?
Crissy Maier — a 36-year-old single woman who co-runs a Fifty Shades fan site called latersbaby.net — reasons people can't help but to look next door and wonder.
"I think just as we can sometimes judge ourselves against what our neighbours have — car, house, TV, latest and greatest gadgets. I think we also compare ourselves about how we perceive other people's sex lives," she says.
Never one to leave anything to chance, I went online to buy a set of 'beginner handcuffs' and a thingamabob-2000 that I don't totally understand the physics of.
That was weeks ago. And still no delivery.
Last weekend, I called up the site and showed my wife. She looked at the thingamabob-2000, then at me, then back at the thingamabob-2000. She then walked away. We haven't mentioned it since.
While I've been charged good money on my Visa, I haven't called the 888-customer number. I know I'll be called a pervert and hung up on.
So to whom can I turn for sexual guidance?
James Bond seems a good choice.
Not so much, warns Kimberly Neuendorf, professor of communication at Cleveland State University and author of Shaken and Stirred: A Content Analysis of Women's Portrayals in James Bond Films.
"He is in no sense average; he is a male fantasy," she cautions.
She found 62 female characters ended up having sex with 007.
My licence to thrill is somewhat lower.
Neuendorf discovered Bond-love is downright dangerous.
"We found strong correlations between sexual activity and occurrences of physical harm to the woman, the frequency of use of weapons against the woman, and the frequency of use of weapons by the woman," she explains.
I'm shaken but not stirred.
Maybe I'll just stick to mighty good suburban sex.
And I'm not alone.
Pollster Scholz says the QMI sex survey found a nation happy with the sex it's getting.
"I don't think that means we're boring," he notes. "Though we're not as adventurous as we like to think we are."
So take that Mr. Grey. I won't be taking a page out of your playbook.
If it ever arrives, I'll send the thingamabob-2000 right back.
Though maybe we'll forget to return the handcuffs.
Have you tried spicing things up in the bedroom? Tell us below (but please, mind your manners) and tweet @QMIsexperts with your sex tips.

Campari Sanguinea Recipe
When warm days are chased by chilly evening breezes, I crave autumnal things like nubby sweaters, terra cotta earth tones, and crisp glasses of pomegranate juice with a splash of delightfully bitter Campari. To lighten things up for brunch, a little grapefruit juice does the trick; to make it part of any proper Italian morning, add caffé e latte (coffee with milk), colazione (bread with butter and jam), and stivali favolosi (fabulous boots).
Read more: Brunch Drinks: Campari Sanguinea
- Yield:1
- Active time: 2 minutes
- Total time:2 minutes
- Ice
- 1 ounce Campari
- 2 ounces pomegranate juice
- 2 ounces grapefruit juice (preferably fresh-squeezed)
- Grapefruit twist
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add Campari, pomegranate juice, and grapefruit juice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with grapefruit twist.

Ug, I sure hope you post regrouping ones sometime... my 4th graders are TERRIBLE at subtracting through 1,000's.. Probably too much for second graders?? Oh well, tooo cute!!ReplyDelete
I liek to teach number bonds, i.e. 56 + 27= 6+7 and 50+20. the kids solve to have 13 and 70, which equals 83. SOOOO much easier than the traditional algorithim I was taught in school! And eventually it gets to be all mental math, too!ReplyDelete
I love these. They are going on my math wall tomorrow.ReplyDelete
2B Honey Bunch
love it!!! We've done addition and just started subtraction today. We use pretzel rods and m&m's to make our 10's column and 1's column (mainly just because I don't have base 10 blocks... ha!)ReplyDelete
I am wondering if you would be willing to make the chart again for me so that on the tens side it would say 30-10= 20 in the little box on the left (because really it is!)ReplyDelete
@ Sherry: That is a great idea! But for now, all freebies come as is! Thanks for understanding:)ReplyDelete
Lindsey, you always make the best printable--I adore this! What a fantastic visual reminder! I am printing right now and wanted to say a big thanks for sharing!!! :)ReplyDelete
Just beautiful!! Like everything else you do:)ReplyDelete
Love these posters. Just wondering... are you planning to make 'with regrouping' ones in the future?ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!
Love those posters! Thanks for the shout-out :)ReplyDelete
Can you make some anchor charts for double digit addition with regrouping?? Please!!! Pretty please!!ReplyDelete
You are so awesome. I am such a stalker. I love, love, love your "stuff".ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 26, 2012 at 7:38 AM
I miss your posts :( I absolutely love your blog. I'm a first year teacher and I can't tell you how much you have helped me get started!ReplyDelete
I have seen this anchor chart over and over on various boards I follow on Pinterest. We start this skill this week and I'll be using it with the kiddos. I made a freebie worksheet to go with it. I embeded the pin on my blog post so people know where to get the original anchor charts.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The Port Arthur Fire Department Arson Division is investigating a fire that broke out at a two-story apartment in Port Arthur Friday morning, Sept. 20. The apartment, located in the 1900 block of 10th Avenue, caught on fire around 7:15 a.m., said PAFD Battalion Chief Mike Free.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

text: Regis professor visits Kenyan refugee camp A forgotten place. That is how Karen Smaldone Cordova describes the Kakuma refugee camp. Located deep in the Kenyan desert, the isolated and impoverished settlement is home to more than 100,000 people who have fled wars and oppression. Kakuma does not get many visitors. But Smaldone Cordova, a communications professor in the College for Professional Studies, has traveled a long way to meet her students. For the past two years, she's been teaching them online as part of the Jesuit Commons: Higher Education at the Margins, a global partnership of Jesuit-affiliated groups dedicated to bringing education and opportunity to refugees. Smaldone Cordova has been involved with the initiative from the outset, volunteering to teach classes and develop curriculum. Her strong belief in the program, connection to students and commitment to pushing herself outside her comfort zone, made the decision to visit the camp easy. She was deeply moved by what she witnessed. "This program has brought hope and opportunity to these students and to the community in general," she said. "These are highly motivated individuals who take their studies very seriously. They crave an opportunity to better themselves and want to use their education to make an impact." Smaldone Cordova's summer 2013 visit was only a taste of her students' lives, but the trip certainly reaffirmed her commitment to the work she is doing with Jesuit Commons. And her experience of the camp and its people will not be one she soon forgets. Step outside your comfort zone and serve those at the margins of society.

Disabled bays not in use?
15/04/2014 18:51:00......Posted by Mario Creatura
Several residents in Coulsdon have pointed out that there are a few disabled parking bays that are apparently continually empty.
It's possible that the resident using the space has moved address and the Council has simply not been informed in order to change its use.
In this instance, the Council is investigating and may remove the bay. If any resident believes any of these space are no longer required, then let me know by emailing email@example.com and we'll check it out and remove it if necessary.
Impact of potential House of Fraser closure
02/08/2018 14:13:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
I've just asked Cllr Shahul-Hameed, Labour's economic Cabinet member, a question about the recent news that House of Fraser may be in danger of collapsing. You can read more about it online.
'For some months now there has been speculation about the future viability of House of Fraser, a business you'll know has a base in the Croydon Centrale Shopping Centre.
A planned rescue deal worth some £70m has recently collapsed, putting the business and its 6,000 direct members of staff nationally in danger of permanent closure.
Could you please outline what meetings you have personally had with House of Fraser to assess the impact of recent events on the Croydon store?
Could you please outline all that you are doing to try to safeguard the future of the store in Croydon?
Should House of Fraser fall into administration, can you release any information about what you understand will happen to replace its very large footprint in the Centrale Centre?
What impact willl the closure of House of Fraser have on the Westfield/Hammerson development that's currently in process?'
Bourne Society Blue Plaque

I was pleased to attend the unveiling of a Bourne Society Blue Plaque commemorating the 1910 train crash in Coulsdon when seven people were killed after the Brighton to London Victoria Express split into two when passing points at the now closed Coulsdon North station. The rear part of the train derailed and crashed into the platform at 40 mph.
The unveiling of the plaque took place at the top of Station Approach Road, Coulsdon. Excellent turnout of community/residents' representatives including scout leaders. Scouts assisted with the rescue at the time of the crash and it's right that this should be remembered.
Purley & Coulsdon Clubs for the Elderly (PACE)
25/07/2018 15:57:00.......Posted by Ian Parker
I was delighted to attend their AGM and to meet their new Chairman Mrs Patricia Painter (yes – she insists on Chairman not Chair which is "a piece of furniture!"). We wish her well in her new role. Jim the retiring Chairman will remain involved with the important work of the organisation for which all members present were grateful.
PACE has a strong and growing committee and tribute was quite rightly paid to the many volunteers who help with lifts for members and organising a fantastic range of events from dominoes, bingo, quizzes to flower arranging, trips and painting. The paintings were proudly displayed at the Centre where the AGM was held.
I was particularly pleased to hear that school children support the Centre by organising events.
"Respect your Oldies – your turn will come sooner than you think!" was a message on the wall at the Centre. I certainly respect the good work of PACE and was grateful for the invitation.
Labour push through unwanted traffic scheme at Woodcote High
13/07/2018 11:45:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
Despite the objections of Coulsdon Town Councillors, local MP Chris Philp, every Residents' Association and hundreds of local people - our Labour-dominated Traffic Management Committee last night forced through unpopular plans to restrict parents and local residents driving in the area around Woodcite High School.
Cllrs Luke Clancy and Ian Parker joined residents in speaking against the plans. Here is what they said at the meeting:
Cllr Clancy
"My view on this scheme has changed over time. Initially I was receptive to the perceived benefits of displacing parking within a wider circumference of the schools.
But now I think whilst this policy could aim to solve one problem it has in fact created other challenges. Residents feel the displaced vehicles have a detrimental effect on road safety in the surrounding roads outside the pedestrianised zone, especially the Chase and Grove Wood Hill. These roads now experience blocked driveways, congestion and the type of unsafe driving practices previously complained of in the Dunsfold Rise loop.
Opposition to the scheme by residents of these roads has been evidenced by 2 petitions I am aware of received by this Council.
My view is that the benefits of the pilot are inconclusive and a permanent order should not be made for Woodcote. I support the aim of making the roads around the schools safer and less polluted. But the level of disruption that these restrictions have caused to residents has undermined any advantages the scheme may have.
Proof that the scheme has improved safety, cut pollution and increased alternative methods of transport is scant. It would seem parents are just parking a few streets further away.
It is a shame that the scheme was introduced before baseline data could be collected that would have given a more scientific basis to the experiment.
The report also rolls the three schools into one, with no real distinction between the very different areas and levels of objection. It would be wrong to give the committee a single vote on both areas.
The scheme should be abandoned or at the very least the experimental order be extended for Woodcote to consider modifications. The committee can defer decision for a further eight months as that is the period under which the experimental traffic order can continue to operate. During that time a fuller consultation can be carried out and more data gathered. Residents would welcome a full study and referendum of all roads affected, with the option both of termination or more mitigation if the scheme is eventually approved.
For example, while the installation of a new pedestrian crossing in Woodcote Grove Road is to be welcomed, parents would like to see increased public transport provision to support the objectives of the scheme. Parents and children cannot be expected to abandon the car unless that is balanced with extra public transport capacity to travel to school. The area is not as well served by buses compared a more urban area like South Norwood. This is another reason, for the purposes of this decision, the two sites should not be considered together.
If the committee was minded to implement the scheme permanently it might also consider a compromise solution that would take the some of pressure off nearby roads bearing vehicle displacement. The ANPR system could be used to regulate traffic flow more evenly by permitting some proportion of parents, such as those with the youngest children, to park in the Dunsfold Rise loop. The scheme could then continue in a modified fashion that better distributes parking across all roads around the schools."
Cllr Parker
"As a ward councillor for Coulsdon Town covering the area of restricted access by the Woodcote schools I'm grateful for the opportunity to comment following the pilot scheme.
The recommendation in the Report before you is that you consider carefully the objections raised as a result of the consultation exercise. These are significant in terms of numbers and severity.
The Committee this evening has a golden opportunity to demonstrate the Council's commitment to be a listening council and at the same time end the severe problems created in the displaced areas around the Woodcote schools.
Traffic levels have increased in neighbouring roads. Whilst there are recognisable problems on roads nearest to the school the negative impact on surrounding roads more than outweighs any gains made in roads closer to the schools.
Obstructions to the traffic flow on Woodcote Grove Road have been evidenced creating road safety issues for motorists and pedestrians, particularly children from the Primary and students from the High School.
There is a danger that the much welcomed safety improvements recently introduced on Woodcote Grove Road with the introduction of a pedestrian crossing will be negated by the impact of restricted access near the schools.
But the displacement problems are not restricted to Woodcote Grove Road and our concerns are justifiably shared by residents on The Vale, The Horseshoe and Warwick Road.
As Chair of Governors at Woodcote High School until May this year I have first-hand experience of the difficulties and potential dangers to students arising as a result of this scheme.
I know committee members will listen carefully to the responses to the consultation. I ask that you reject the recommendation to make this unsatisfactory arrangement permanent on Dunsfold Rise, Meadow Rise and Fairfield Way.
Committee members should recognise that the objectors to this scheme are not restricted to those in the displaced area but also include residents who live right next to the Primary School.
I ask that the Committee votes on these three schools separately as they represent three distinctive areas requiring different solutions to their unique problems.
Finally Chair, should the Committee reject the views of a clear majority of local residents and make the zone permanent I would ask that officers immediately consider steps that will mitigate the severe impact that the zone is having on neighbours in the area outside the zone.
Thank you for allowing me time to address the Committee."
When it came to the vote, all Labour Councillors voted to push it through and all Conservative councillors voted against. Sadly Labour dominate the committee, and so permission was granted to continue with the scheme.
Pedestrianised Zone - Dunsfold Rise, Meadow Rise and Fairfield Way
13/07/2018 10:16:00.......Posted by Ian Parker
Coulsdon Town councillors have received many residents' objections to this pilot scheme by Woodcote Primary and High schools which restricts traffic on these three roads at school start and finishing times. Last night, Labour's Traffic Management Committee approved the permanent introduction of the scheme despite the number of objections received from residents' associations, local residents and Coulsdon Town's three councillors.
Cllr Clancy, myself and other local residents spoke against making the scheme permanent. Yet again the Labour Council rides rough shod over the views of locals who are in the strongest possible position to comment on such matters.
Dust on Cane Hill
05/07/2018 14:42:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
Know a few residents on Cane Hill have been concerned about the dust coming from the construction site impacting their property. I've looked into it and asked the Council to get in contact with the managing agent for the development. A reply has been received this morning stating that the area where earth movement was taking place which was the cause of the problem is being dampened down by the use of sprinklers. In addition to this measure, they have told us they are deploying a road sweeper to attempt to keep a handle on the problem.
They've said they met with those affected and have offered to clean the outside of your properties - if that isn't right then please do get in touch with my using email@example.com.
Residents should please keep me posted so I know the problem has or has not been resolved, and if not I'll sort it.
Traveling Council

The TaxPayers' Alliance have revealed through an FOI that Croydon Council has spent £15,575.09 on air travel between January 2015 and February 2018.
Figures show that Council officers traveled 47 times in that period and flew on airlines including British Airways, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic.
Given the nature and standard routes of these airlines, I've asked the Council to list the full details of the 47 flights including the following:

Progress with Aldi
21/06/2018 07:30:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
Following our productive meeting with Aldi at the end of April, I'm pleased to report that progress has been made in making the car park that little bit more driver/parking friendly.
Residents will recall that we called for the meeting so that we could start the progress of working towards a solution to mitigate the poor traffic conditions along the high street.
Aldi agreed to a number of ideas, including installing signs to encourage drivers to move down inside the car park and rearrange the location of the disabled bays to encourage greater movement. The quotes for the works have been approved, and involve the permanent relocation of the disabled bays to the entrance of the store.
The programme of works is currently being worked out to ensure as little disruption to Aldi customers as possible. Once a start date has been agreed, I'll update this blog.
If you have any ideas about what else we can do to improve parking in Coulsdon, please do let me know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
21/06/2018 07:02:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
It was lovely to attend my first Hartley and District Residents' Association AGM last night. Whilst I've been a councillor for Coulsdon West for the past four years, in May the new ward boundaries came into effect so my new patch of Coulsdon Town includes a few roads in the HADRA area which includes Stoats Nest Road, Hillars Heath, the bottom of Coulsdon Road and Coulsdon Woods.
There were interesting talks by local police, MP Chris Philp and Brenda Quelch-Brown of the Old Coulsdon medical practice patient participation group.
The committee gave retired councillor Chris Wright a lovely engraved glass as a token of their appreciation for his 28 years of dedicated service. With me having just completed four, I've got a while before I match his record!
Travellers on Lion Green Road
19/06/2018 08:39:00.......Posted by Mario Creatura
Residents will be aware of the travellers that seemed to have arrived in Lion Green Road car park overnight.
Damage has been reported and there is understandable concern in the local community.
Rest assured I have alerted the Council and ask that they commence the sadly lengthy procedure for eviction.
Assessments will be carried out today and the Council will be serving notice for the travellers to leave tomorrow. If they fail to move on then the Council will proceed with applying for a court order, which is likely to take another few days.
The Council will keep me appraised of their progress.

One of the Islamic world's most serious problems is its general underdevelopment. Therefore, one of the Islamic Union's priorities must be to develop the Islamic world by supporting the poorer countries and resolving their economic problems. This can be done by fighting poverty,—encouraging new investments, creating jobs,—achieving law and order throughout society, removing economic injustice and guaranteeing social justice, and strengthening international as well as regional cooperation and dialogue.
Problems and tensions within the Islamic world caused by financial inequality must be reduced. A union and cooperation between Muslim nations in the economic, political, and, most importantly, the cultural arenas will enable the underdeveloped nations to advance rapidly. Moreover, those that have the necessary infrastructure in place will be enabled to maximize their productivity. Such a union will benefit economic growth and scientific and technological development.
Economic growth will increase investment in science and technology, and technological advancements will fuel further economic growth. Economic development will raise educational standards, and society will develop in many ways. Under the umbrella of the Islamic Union, individuals will be able to travel freely without the obstacles of visas or borders, and a system of free trade and enterprise will drive the Islamic world's rapid growth and development.
This development will naturally result in the Islamic world's modernization and reaching the standards found in the developed world. While Islam's economic principles diverge from the hedonism that dominates the majority of the West, free trade is just as essential to Islamic societies as it is to Western societies. Islam recognizes everybody's right to private ownership and free enterprise, but Islamic morality places certain responsibilities on individuals in order to achieve social justice. The poor have a share in the wealth of the rich, but not in the form of enforced taxation. Rather, the rich give this share to the poor willingly because of their beliefs. Islam's version of social justice is not achieved by central planning and enforcement, as socialism proclaimed but failed to deliver, but by the society's dominant moral values. Islamic morality also prevents the rich from indulging in conspicuous consumption and extravagance.
The materialistic social model encourages consumption, selfishness, and the ruthless oppression of others by individuals who have lost their respect and love for their fellow citizens. Over the past two centuries, this social model has come to dominate the majority of the Western world and has eroded its traditional Judeo-Christian moral values. As a consequence, many Western countries are forced to fight widespread drug abuse, prostitution, corruption, gambling, alcohol abuse, and organized crime. Furthermore, weakening religious beliefs has created an identity crisis: Materialist philosophies, which assert that the purpose of life is to acquire material wealth and live a life of pleasure, cannot satisfy people's spirituality and so end up creating a void of aimlessness. Under the banner of freedom, its adherents abandon themselves to their own selfish desires.
