The Worlds First Marijuana Mall Opened in Colorado
History is being made in Trinidad, Colorado, as the world's first marijuana mall is scheduled to open this upcoming April.
Developers Chris Elkins and Sean Sheridan deemed Trinidad as the perfect location to build their dream project given Trinidad's views on law and tourism.
In an interview with local news station KRDO claimed:
This town has a zero-foot setback, which allows us to put five dispensaries here right next to one another. As far as we know, we are the only town in Colorado that can do this.
Elkins and Sheridan have received city permits and have already purchased a building in downtown Trinidad on Commercial Street. Their next step is waiting for City Council to give their approval.
According to Elkins, four of the five spaces have already been leased to marijuana-based businesses, and if the City Council gives their approval, they are hoping to open their doors to the public in April.
Along with their passion for cannabis, Elkins and Sheridan are also incorporating their entrepreneurial skills into this project, and they are excited for the benefits the mini-mall will bring to the town.
Elkins expects the mini-mall to boost the local economy, and it seems as though many local residents agree.
"I'm excited to see it open. We have a lot of pot stores already and there is a lot of benefits." Mechelle Duran, a Trinidad local
There are other locals who have expressed their concern with the mini-mall attracting homeless people and transients.
"To be honest, I don't have any problems with marijuana or marijuana users but i do know we have had a lot more problems with theft. I know Walmart is having problems. And transients, that's becoming a huge problem." Tamara Johnson, a Trinidad local
Ride-sharing companies will play an important role in making your next trip to the pot mall even safer & more enjoyable. As part of their "Drive High, Get a DUI" campaign, the CDOT even suggests using Uber and Lyft.
Regardless of the differing opinions of Trinidad locals, Elkins and Sheridan remain optimistic and anxiously await the grand opening of the world's first cannabis mini-mall.
Native Americans are now allowed to grow Cannabis on their reservations without DEA or federal government intervention.

Title: Tease
Author: Amanda Maciel
Edition: Paperback
Published: April 29, 2014
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Pages: 328
Source: ARC provided by the publisher
Genre: Contemporary, Realistic Fiction
Trailer: Not available.
Emma Putnam is dead, and it's all Sara Wharton's fault. At least, that's what everyone seems to think. Sara, along with her best friend and three other classmates, has been criminally charged for the bullying and harassment that led to Emma's shocking suicide. Now Sara is the one who's ostracized, already guilty according to her peers, the community, and the media. In the summer before her senior year, in between meetings with lawyers and a court-recommended therapist, Sara is forced to reflect on the events that brought her to this moment—and ultimately consider her own role in an undeniable tragedy. And she'll have to find a way to move forward, even when it feels like her own life is over.
Sara will soon face the court together with her high school group. They were facing a lawsuit from Emma Putnam's parents because apparently, they harassed, stalked and bullied her to her death. Sara wouldn't back down because she knew she didn't kill Emma. But she was terrified. She wasn't allowed to talk to her best friend and boyfriend, her separated parents weren't there for her and she the hate she felt for Emma has the power of a thousand suns. She's never been alone in her life and all these things she's going through, she blames Emma. Emma got it all figured out by dying and making their lives hell.
Brielle. I've never seen such strong character that could pull off anything. Aside from the fact that her family is wealthy, her entire attitude screams *back off*. She's so manipulative and wouldn't take no for an answer. Her adventurous take on things around her would have been fun if she isn't hurting people. Her strong facade masks so much and affects people around her in a very negative way. This power she gets from bullying only makes her worse. Instead of influencing others to be their best, she's the other way around. It appears like, she wanted to be the only one to reign the school. It wasn't explained in the story how she was brought up, but it looks like she didn't have a happy childhood. And this is the outcome.
Dylan. I liked him at first because he's safe to be considered the boy next door. I liked his silent-type attitude and he's not pushy. Basically, he doesn't take advantage. However, I wish he could have ended things with the person he's seeing a decent way.
Braden. He's fantastic. That is all I can say. Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. Well, I wish I could have known more about him though. His new found friendship with Sara can be a totally separate novel!
Emma. I tweeted Maciel about Emma if there would be a companion novel or sequel in Emma's POV. I would really love to know her side of the story. Why she decided to call it quits and how dark she's really going through. It would be an amazing novel if there will be one because we'd get an overall understanding of the WHYs in her story. I would really love that. Only, I wasn't really a fan of Emma. She's really a flirt.
Sara. The novel is from her POV which I absolutely adored. She's a little rebellious, easily manipulated but I loved her honesty and straight forwardness. She's very true to herself and she's not afraid to do what she thinks would make her happy. I feel her hate with Emma because at some point in my life, I FELT THE EXACT SAME HATE. Only, I didn't do anything about it. Sara's too clingy to her best friend Brielle and would just do anything she's told to do. It's like Brielle's words is where her life depends on. Even if she's doubtful, if it comes out of Brielle's mouth, she'd do it. Which in reality, we have that piece of attitude in us especially when it comes to the people who matter so much to us. Only Sara took it to a whole new level. She would have done things differently but it was too late and I respect the way she took responsibility of her actions. I believe her all the way, though. I've seen the goodness she has the entire time.
I believe that some parts of this story happens every day. Different people react to things differently and there's just one line I'd like to share from my favorite novel, We Were Liars: BE A LITTLE KINDER THAN YOU HAVE TO.
Tease is a strong novel exposing issues we face day after day in a different light. It tries to heighten awareness and tries to make life bearable in simple good things we can do for others. Amazingly written, Tease brings tears, magnifies loss, and expounds pressure in an well-wrapped up everyday story.
Thank you for the review copy, HarperCollins International!
"The thing about having one really good friend, one person you talk to all the time about everything, is that you stop really talking to anyone else. You sort of talk to other people, but mostly you have your one person and that's enough.
And then one day, maybe for a good reason or maybe out of nowhere, you can't talk to that friend anymore, and you suddenly realize you can't talk to anyone else. Like, it's physically impossible. No one understands you except that person. it's like you speak another language, and the other person who also speaks it is gone."
"Don't add silence to your list of regrets."
"I look down and see my hands uncapping the pen, turning the notepad right-side up on my knees. My mouth is dry, my stomach is in knots, my life is over, my heart is broken.
I start to write."
"When the doors are open big gusts of cold air sweep into the car, and suddenly it smells damp and earthly, that early smell that tells you all the snow and ice is melting and someday the sun will come out again. And maybe it will, for some other girl."
"Something about this small glimmer of happiness feels wrong, but I can't think about that. I just hold onto the glimmer, the shred. I let myself feel a tiny bit happy. Even though it kind of hurts."

Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster patent images – Click above for image gallery
Not that there's anything new to report from last week, when we saw a prototype Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster at the factory in Affalterbach, but if you're the type that gets giddy over sketches then these are for you.
As sussed out by Auto Bild, these images are said to be German patent office filings for the roadster. Apparently they sneaked out for a stein one evening and were lured back to the home of the Internet. While it's true that black-and-white drawings can only tell you so much about a car, we're thinking we might enjoy having the top down on this even more than we enjoy the coupe. Maybe. Either way, you can see it from every angle and judge for yourself in the gallery of images below.

College basketball results, Feb. 26
Trevor Mbakwe had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help Minnesota take down No. 1 Indiana 77-73 on Tuesday, the seventh time the top-ranked team in the Associated Press' poll has lost a game this season.
Andre Hollins added 16 points for the Gophers (19-9, 7-8 Big Ten), who outrebounded Cody Zeller and the Hoosiers 44-30. The fans rushed the court as the last seconds expired.
Zeller was limited to nine points with four turnovers for the Hoosiers (24-4, 12-3), who have held the No. 1 ranking for 10 of 17 polls this season, including the past four.
Mbakwe, a sixth-year senior, posted his conference-leading seventh double-double.
Tennessee 64, #8 Florida 58:
Jordan McRae scored 27 points as the host Volunteers (17-10, 9-6 SEC) picked up their sixth consecutive victory. ... The Gators (22-5, 12-3) were playing without injured forward Will Yeguette (knee) and guard Michael Frazier II (concussion).
#17 Wisconsin 77, Nebraska 46:
Reserve Sam Dekker matched his career high with 19 points for the host Badgers (20-8, 11-4 Big Ten). ... Wisconsin's win, coupled with Indiana's loss at Minnesota, put the Badgers one game back in the Big Ten race with three games to play for both teams.
Xavier 64, #19 Memphis 62:
Brad Redford hit a long three-pointer that put the Musketeers back ahead after they had wasted a 13-point lead. ... The Tigers (24-4) had won their previous 18 games. ... It was the Musketeers' second straight chance to beat a ranked team at home. They blew a 17-point lead against VCU on Saturday. ... Memphis was the only school that hadn't lost a road game this season.
#2 Notre Dame 79, #22 Syracuse 68:
Kayla McBride scored 25 points and Skylar Diggins added 24 points and eight assists for the host Irish (26-1, 14-0 Big East), who overcame a 15-point first-half deficit to win their 21st straight.
#3 Connecticut 76, Pittsburgh 36:
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Breanna Stewart added 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots for the host Huskies (26-2, 13-1 Big East), who have 28 straight wins over the Panthers over the past 20 years.

'Vampire Diaries': Why Stefan & Rebekah Are Perfect For Each Other
The past three episodes have shown Stefan & Rebekah's development as a couple, both physically and emotionally. Who could possibly deny 'Stebekah' now?
When Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) called it quits on the Nov. 15 episode of The Vampire Diaries, some fans feared the sensitive Salvatore would never find happiness again. Little did they know, his perfect match — and ex-girlfriend, Rebekah (Claire Holt) — was just a dagger pull away! Allow me to explain why Stefan and Rebekah make a bloody good couple, and why I really hope they're given a future together.
1. Their Sex Is Hot
Let's begin where they began: the bedroom! Yes, I was a little shocked to see Stefan and Rebekah jumping into bed together on the Jan. 24 episode, but I was totally game once they got started. And even though they did it under the pretense of "no feelings, no attachments," you knew they didn't mean it. Come on, their sexual tension had been brewing for nearly a century!
Enjoy Stefan and Rebekah's steamy encounter below:
2. Their Banter Is Feisty
I've used many words to describe Rebekah since her introduction last season: "bitchy," "evil" and "heartless," to name a few — but I never thought I'd find myself referring to the foxy Original as "adorable," until the Feb. 7 episode. The scene between Stefan and Rebekah at the campfire was so sugary, I felt like I swallowed an entire packet of Fun Dip, and I mean that in a very good way.
Rebekah: Did you hear that? [She cluthes Stefan's arm.] I swear this place is haunted!
Stefan: You're crushing my arm.
Rebekah: OK, you caught me, I'm a scaredy cat.
Stefan: You do realize you're an Original vampire, right?
Rebekah: Which is precisely why you should stop teasing me. … I'm very powerful.
Me-ow! I don't think Stefan and Elena have ever shared such an effortlessly flirty scene together. Relive the fun below:
3. Their Happiness Is Real
Ignoring the fact that Stefan only took Rebekah to the '80s dance to distract her on the Jan. 31 episode, you've got to admit, they were both really happy to be there. Not only was Stefan in his glory, reliving the awesome-ness of his favorite decade, but you could see how glad he was to be sharing it all with his newly reignited flame. He even told her she reminded him of Lexi (Arielle Kebbel), and we all know how much respect he had for her.
The next scene, when Stefan taught Rebekah the joys of hallway sliding, was also kind of adorable. Not only does she make him smile, but he brings out her secret fun side.
Even when they're not jumping each other's undead bones, Stefan and Rebekah are just happy to be around each other. See for yourself:
Do you agree that Stefan and Rebekah are a perfect pair, or do you still think he belongs back with Elena? Vote below, then drop a comment to explain your rationale!

Acrylic Gallery
Below is the collection of paints that I have made so far. I have taken the photos myself, so some of the colours (like whites) have not come out quite the way they are, but in general the photos reflect well the overall look of the paintings. I have added a small description for each one, and for some of them, a kind of Making of.
Womans Face in Orange
Acrylic, brush
70cm x 100cm
Description: Grey scale painting of a woman's face with a touch of orange. This, together with Womans Face in Green, is the second of a Series of three woman's faces, one in green, another in orange and the third on in blue.
Womans Face in Green
Acrylic, brush
70cm x 100cm
Description: Grey scale painting of a woman's face with a touch of green. The tattoo is intended to give the painting a 'fantasy' feeling. The intention is to make this the first of a Series of three woman's faces, one in green, another in orange and the third on in blue.
Warrior Woman
Acrylic, brush
40cm x 120cm
Description: This painting was inspired by a drawing I found online. I wanted to create a grey scale painting with a touch of just one colour. Red, or orange colours, always make a good contrast with black-white colours.
Lost Love
Acrylic, brush
120cm x 80cm (on 3 panels of 30cm x 80cm each)
Description: For this one, I searched online for a nice manga drawing. I think I found this one on DeviantART. The only thing I did was to apply a different set of colours to the drawing I found. The original drawing can be found in the Making of section.
Acrylic, brush
150cm x 50cm
Description: I wanted to create a simple image in black and white in the style found in some comics, using simple lines. I added the red circles later because I thought it would give the image a nice touch.
Red Ribbon
Acrylic, spatula & brush
15cm x 40cm
Acrylic, spatula
60cm x 50cm (on 4 panels of 15cm x 50cm each)
Acrylic, spatula & brush
50cm x 68.5cm (on 3 panels of different sizes)

The National Museum of Dance has an exhibit about pointe shoes that dancers and dance-lovers will want to check out...
We reached out to Assistant Director Sarah Hall Weaver to learn more about it and are excited to share some of the details with you here...
Photo by Daesha Devón Harris
Tell readers a bit about your upcoming exhibition, En Pointe!
En Pointe! is an exhibit that explores the pointe shoe from many different angles - how they are made, how they are designed to suit individual feet, how they came to be what they are today, and how they are integrated into the lives of both amateur and professional dancers. We know that the public is fascinated, and even sometimes daunted by these unique shoes. For a lot of people they are the very symbol of everything they love about dance but for others they can be very intimidating if you have never experienced them on your own feet or had someone give you the opportunity to get closer. The exhibit will suit both audiences - we want young dancers to learn more about their shoes, and we want people that know nothing to learn to love them as much as we do!
Photo by Daesha Devón Harris
Where did the idea for this particular exhibition come from?
The idea for this exhibit came from one of our Board of Directors members, Leslie Roy Heck. Leslie is a former soloist of the New York City Ballet and during her time with the company she was privileged to work with George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Peter Martins. Leslie now owns a dance retail store in our city of Saratoga Springs, NY called Saratoga Dance, Etc. where she and her staff fit shoes for students of all ages. She is also the founder of Bunheads Dance Accessories, a product line that was acquired by Ballet Makers Inc., the worldwide distributor of Capezio footwear and apparel. What can I say?...We couldn't have asked for a better expert to lead this project!

What was the process like of getting the items together for this exhibition?
Every exhibit is its own unique experience, but this one was pretty intense. We worked with six sponsoring pointe shoe companies [Bloch, Capezio, Freed, Gaynor Minden, Grishko, and Suffolk], over ten different dance companies, six individual principal dancers, dozens of national participants in our pointe shoe decorating contest, several fine artists, and a slew of other collaborators. There was a lot of communication and organization back and forth but the overwhelming positive responses we received assured us of how important this project was. If anything, the hardest part was making the decisions of where to draw the line. There is so much to say about these seemingly simple, little, pink objects, we could probably have filled the entire Museum. We just had to keep in mind our mission to explain the essential basics to pointe shoe newcomers, and to present some new ideas to pointe shoe pros.
Photo by Daesha Devón Harris
Would you share some of the highlights of the exhibit?
One of my favorite sections is the interviews from five principal ballerinas from five different American companies. I think it's really important for pre-professional dancers of all ages and levels to hear from their on-stage heroes. The advice they give can't be said enough and it is so encouraging for young students to hear that these stars had similar struggles when they were beginning dancers. I also love the section that talks about men dancing en pointe. It's very forward thinking in terms of strengthening and training, and it is always interesting to see on stage. My favorite thing about the exhibit as a whole though is that the shoes and accessories that are attached to the text boards are there for guests to actually touch. Just being able to feel the texture and strength of the items is a great way for people to become familiar with the strange world of ballet.
Can you share a few of the other exhibitions that you will have coming up this year?
We have a lot coming up for our 2013 season! We will be welcoming an incredible bronze sculpture and pastel exhibit from artist Andrew DeVries, and this year's Art in the Foyer photography exhibition will be a selection from Jordan Matter's Dancers Among Us series, which has become a national sensation. Like many other organizations all over the world, we are also joining in on the celebration of the Rite of Spring's 100th anniversary with a special exhibit spanning the history of Nijinsky's original ballet and the dozens of choreographers since that have braved Stravinsky's brilliant score. And perhaps one of our most highly anticipated projects in the last several years is the complete renovation of the Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame. The new space will honor its forty-eight amazing inductees with more video, more images, and more artifacts than ever [though there will be fifty by August as we will be inducting two HUGE dance icons in coming months]. It's going be an exciting season, and we can't wait to share it with you!
En Pointe! is scheduled to run from March 20, 2012 through November 24, 2013 and is sponsored by Bloch, Capezio, Freed, Gaynor Minden, Grishko, and Suffolk.

How to Cleanse Daily
As we get closer to the holidays, we're guaranteed to hear more and more about cleanses. From Halloween to New Years Eve we wage a war with our bodies, falling victim to the trick and treats, the thanksgiving food comas, the holiday sweets, and then the days filled with guilt and regret. Each time we hop off the healthy bandwagon for just a second, we punish ourselves with strict quick fix detoxes – eat only this food, cut that out entirely, liquids for 5 days straight! It's a vicious cycle that we want nothing to do with.
The truth is, health is not created in a vacuum of organic greens and cleansing super foods. It's created right there in between thanksgiving dinner, that long-awaited high school reunion, and all those holiday parties, in a playful world where spin classes, sangria, and kale salads all exist at once.
Eat clean, play dirty baby!
So ditch the yoyo diets and over-the-top detox regimens, and make some small changes to your daily routine to give your body that extra BOOST it needs to work its natural magic! You already have your baseline covered. Now it's time to take it to the next level. Give that beautiful body of yours some extra support by incorporating the following into your week, and say hello to one delicious holiday season:
- Start off your day with detoxing lemon water – it awakens your organs, revs your metabolism, and alkalizes your body so that your body can start cleansing before you've even had your breakfast. Early bird gets the worm!
- Kickstart your day with cleansing greens. Throw them into a green smoothie, enjoy them with an omelette, or sprinkle some spirulina in your yogurt and granola! Greens contain phytonutrients that help to escort toxins out of your body, and they're filled with age-defying antioxidants. Aim for 4-8 cups a day!
- Take probiotics! Increasing the flora in your gut will help to keep your entire system in balance so you can detox more efficiently. Also incorporate more fermented foods (kimchi, kombucha, tempeh, etc.) into your diet to help your mighty microbiome thrive!
- Drink Sakara detox tea between meals to stay hydrated and keep the toxins moving out of your system. When you're not drinking our detox tea, hydrate internally with high water content foods, and drink more h2o than you think you need. Add some organic fruit to your water glass for some much needed electrolytes.
- Avoid snacking! Digestion is extremely taxing for your body. And when you are constantly feeding it snacks, your body is constantly working - and working hard - to digest everything thoroughly. When you eat 3 large, hearty, balanced meals a day, with no snacks in between (mini fastings if you will), you give your digestion a break and allow your body to focus its energy elsewhere. This is when it is able to restore its functions, heal properly, and get you those results you dream of.
- Be sure that you're eating enough fiber. Fiber is what keeps you full, and keeps your digestive system functioning optimally. It binds to toxins in your digestive tract to help move them out and also feeds that gut flora! Whole grains, organic vegetables, beans, and superfoods!
- Speaking of superfoods….indulge in superfoods (We can help you out with that)! Each amazing superfood has unique healing qualities and works to help your body absorb all the good stuff, so it can kick out all the bad. With a balanced, superfood diet, each bite is healing your system and optimizing your health.
- Sweat it out! Get moving in any way that inspires you - whether it's running, dancing, or sweaty bikram yoga, get those sweat glands going! Your pores are the body's detoxing pathways. When you break a sweat, you are actively expelling toxins from every inch of that gleaming bod. Before hopping in the shower, take a few minutes to dry brush your skin. This not only rids your skin of dead surface cells, but also stimulates your lymphatic system, and gets your blood flowing so that your body can start pushing those toxins gently out the door.
- Treat yourself to a relaxing, healing deep tissue massage. This will help to release toxins that were trapped in muscular tissue. The best way to expel these toxins is to follow your massage with a sweaty sauna session.
- Soak in a detox bath. Epsom salts contain detoxifying minerals that work to draw out toxins and cleanse your entire body. These detoxifying baths are also relaxing and are great to calm your mind before drifting into dreamland.
- Get that beauty sleep!!! This one is key. As you rest, your body repairs itself, and without this vital sleep your body is unable to function at its full potential (eg your immune system is compromised and your body can't rid itself of all the toxins!). So do yourself a favor…stay in one Saturday night. Sleep in on Sunday morning. Give your body a chance to heal.
- (Frankie says) RELAX. Practice stress management. When you're under stress your hormones fall out of balance which leads to weight gain, anxiety, lack of energy and even illness. A stressed body holds on to toxins, so if you're trying to detox, it's important to keep your stress levels in check. This might mean taking a few moments in the morning to meditate, taking a walk, or just making time to do something you enjoy.
All of these practices are 100% aligned with our #thoughtstothings campaign, and will not only support your healthy holiday body, but also help fuel every single one of your creations. So each time you devote your effort to one of these conscious actions, share it with us, and use the hashtag #thoughtstothings to win BIG!! Details here!

The new long lasting and high potency beta2-agonists like salmeterol (Serevent), soon to be available for children, which control asthma symptoms for 12 hours at a puff, could exacerbate the problem.
Steroids used for asthma control pose many more risks than previously thought. Many doctors are turning to steroids as a first port of call after all the recent bad press for beta2-agonists. But recent studies have shown that inhaled steroids (which were supposed not to pose the usual risks that swallowed ones do) are not as harmless as medicine previously supposed. The consensus up until now has been that beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) of 400-800 ug daily is appropriate for the 3-5 year old age group. However, a group of paediatric consultants from various hospitals in Britain wrote to the Lancet (14 December 1991) to point out various studies showing that this dose of BDP was the equivalent of 20-40 mg of prenisoline in causing suppression of the adrenal and pituitary glands. This dosage also produced significant growth retardation in a group of children studied.
Inhaled steroids have also caused symptoms characteristic of Cushing's syndrome: obesity, moon face, thinning skin and stretch marks, as well as bruising.
Another unforeseen risk is that many otherwise benign infections become life threatening in children on drugs like steroids, which suppress the immune system. America's Food and Drug Administration has asked manufacturers of all steroids to add the following warning on all drug packs: "Children who are on immunosuppressant drugs are more susceptible to infections than healthy children. Chickenpox and measles, for example, can have a more serious or even fatal course in children on immunosuppressant corticosteroids. " Besides the disease itself, the risks of vaccination multiply (particularly with one employing a live virus) if a child's immune system has been suppressed.
As for adults, some studies have shown that even low doses of inhaled beclomethasone (400 ug) per day) reduce bone formation (The Lancet 6 July 1991). Deaths from lack of adrenal gland function have occurred when patients have switched from oral to inhaled steroids without overlapping the drugs. There is also the problem of recurrent thrush of the mouth.
Because some of the drug escapes into the blood stream, even when inhaled, people on high doses run the usual risks of steroids. These include over activity of the adrenal glands, which produces Cushing's disease, a fat abdomen, buffalo hump in the back of the neck, high blood pressure and muscle weakness.
Steroids can also cause muscle wasting, hyperglycaemia, water retention, skin atrophy, bruising and stretch marks, insomnia, serious mood changes, symptoms of schizophrenia or manic depression, possibly cataracts or glaucoma, menstrual problems, impotence, loss of libido or even allergic shock. More dangerously, prolonged use of steroids causes the pituitary gland to stop producing ACTH, a hormone which regulates the adrenal glands, needed by the body during stress.
All this in a drug which can only suppress inflammation, not cure it, by constantly masking what is undoubtedly a healthy allergic response.

Power Equipment Direct Unveils New Product Ads
Power Equipment Direct Unveils New Product Ads. Online Retailer Drives Traffic to Existing Dealer Networks.
Bolingbrook, IL (PRWEB) October 24, 2012
Today Power Equipment Direct (PED) launched PED Product Ads - a new advertising program designed to drive highly qualified web shoppers to local dealers.
Since it was founded ten years ago, manufacturers could only sell – not advertise – their products on the PED's network of web stores, including MowersDirect.com and PowerEquipmentDirect.com. With the launch of PED Product Ads, manufacturers' products are simply added to the web stores. Instead of selling them online, PED drives the Internet customer directly to small independent dealers in their area.
"While some products cannot be sold on our web stores, it doesn't prevent manufacturers from promoting them online," said Jon Hoch, PED president. "If they aren't visible online, potential customers won't consider them as part of the buying process and may purchase from competitors instead."
The company unveiled PED Product Ads at the GIE EXPO in Louisville, KY where the top manufacturers and independent dealers converge.
"Many long-standing manufacturers don't want to alienate their dealer network. PED Product Ads is the ideal program to link manufacturers and dealers together, driving qualified leads and, ultimately, putting more money in their pockets," said Hoch.
The PED Network of Stores generates more than 15 million unique visitors annually. These highly qualified shoppers leverage the web stores to research the best products available.
The PED Product Ads look nearly identical with other products sold online. Customers can compare models, research specifications and even write reviews.
"The only difference is the 'Call to Action' Box," said Hoch. "Instead of adding the product to your shopping cart, customers can input their zip code to be instantly directed to a local dealer."
Manufacturers simply pay a dollar for every lead generated for most machines. Leads for accessories are discounted to fifty cents each.
Preferred Placement
In addition to generating leads, PED Product Ads feature Preferred Placement - an online auction to promote their products in optimal spaces within product listings.
For example, the advertiser with the highest Preferred Placement bid will automatically appear at the top of every relevant results page. The second highest bidder will appear in the sixth position.
According to Hoch, advertisers using Preferred Placement receive greater exposure, resulting in a significant increase of leads.
Visit http://www.powerequipmentdirect.com/ads for more information about PED Product Ads.
Power Equipment Direct has been named one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in America by Inc. and Internet Retailer.
Power Equipment Direct operates 11 niche online superstores. The Bolingbrook, IL-based company operates AirCompressorsDirect.com, ChainSawsDirect.com, ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com, LeafBlowersDirect.com, LogSplittersDirect.com, MowersDirect.com, PressureWashersDirect.com, SnowBlowersDirect.com, SumpPumpsDirect.com, TillersDirect.com and WaterPumpsDirect.com.

Nelson Mandela's Memorial: President Obama & Kanye West Speak Out
President Obama and other world leaders gave powerful tributes in front of almost 100,000 supporters on Dec. 10 in Johannesburg, South Africa to remember the amazing life of Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela led an extraordinary life for 95 years, so it's only appropriate that on Dec. 10, countless world leaders — including President Barack Obama and South African President Jacob Zuma – honored Mandela during a massive memorial service in the pouring rain. And even though not all of Mandela's supporters could be there, plenty of celebrities, such as Kanye West, spoke out on Twitter. What did they say?
Nelson Mandela's Memorial: President Obama & Other Presidents Speak Out
President of South Africa Jacob Zuma spoke to his country and gave a powerful speech that addressed Mandela's legacy. Below is an excerpt of his speech:
Never before has our country celebrated a life as we are doing with that of Madiba. We do not call Madiba the father of our rainbow nation merely for political correctness and relevance.
We do so because he laid a firm foundation for the South Africa of our dreams – one that is united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous.We do so because Madiba was a courageous leader. Compatriots and friends, today Madiba is no more.
He leaves behind a nation that loves him dearly. He leaves a continent that is truly proud to call him an African. He leaves the people of the world who embraced him as their beloved icon. Most importantly, he leaves behind a deeply entrenched legacy of freedom, human rights and democracy in our country. In his honour we commit ourselves to continue building a nation based on the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom. United in our diversity, we will continue working to build a nation free of poverty, hunger, homelessness and inequality.
[hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxYSyE4siwM" link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxYSyE4siwM" text="Nelson Mandela Dead At 95″]
President Barack Obama delivered an emotional tribute to Mandela. Below is an excerpt of his speech:
It is hard to eulogize any man — to capture in words not just the facts and the dates that make a life, but the essential truth of a person — their private joys and sorrows; the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone's soul. How much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation toward justice, and in the process moved billions around the world.
Given the sweep of his life, the scope of his accomplishments, the adoration that he so rightly earned, it's tempting I think to remember Nelson Mandela as an icon, smiling and serene, detached from the tawdry affairs of lesser men. But Madiba himself strongly resisted such a lifeless portrait. Instead, Madiba insisted on sharing with us his doubts and his fears; his miscalculations along with his victories. "I am not a saint," he said, "unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying."
After this great liberator is laid to rest, and when we have returned to our cities and villages and rejoined our daily routines, let us search for his strength. Let us search for his largeness of spirit somewhere inside of ourselves. And when the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, when our best-laid plans seem beyond our reach, let us think of Madiba and the words that brought him comfort within the four walls of his cell: "It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."
What a magnificent soul it was. We will miss him deeply. May God bless the memory of Nelson Mandela. May God bless the people of South Africa.
President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff gave a beautiful speech with the help of a translator. Below is an excerpt:
We must pay homage to this unmatched example of humanism. Like the South Africans who mourn with their chants, we the Brazilian nation proudly carry African blood in our veins and we too mourn.
The Brazilian government and people bow down to the memory of Nelson Mandela.

Celebrities took to Twitter to pay tribute to Mandela during his memorial:
If ur just waking up, follow my political director @MichaelSkolnik who is live-tweeting the #MandelaMemorial right now. Obama speaks next.

Amazing atmosphere in stadium where Mandela memorial will be held. Thousands already in stands chanting and singing
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) December 10, 2013
Inspiring, glad I stayed awake to watch. Time to get these few hours of sleep in. Nite/Mornin 💜✌#RIPMadiba

Respect to Mandela, his family and his legacy.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) December 9, 2013
At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) December 9, 2013
Mandela was a driving force in the world freedom frm oppression of any kind & an advocate 4 forgiveness & I asked him how and Y after what
— Whoopi Goldberg (@WhoopiGoldberg) December 9, 2013
Mandela has influenced an incredible number of lives and will be missed tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones at this time.

proof of angle sum identities
We will derive the angle sum identities for the various trigonometric functions here. We begin by deriving the identity for the sine by means of a geometric argument and then obtain the remaining identities by algebraic manipulation.
Theorem 1.
Let us make the restrictions and for the time being. Then we may draw a triangle such that and :
Since the angles of a triangle add up to , we must have , so we have .
We now draw perpendiculars two different ways in order to derive ratios. First, we drop a perpendicular from to :
Since and are right triangles we have, by definition,
Second, we draw a perpendicular form to . Depending on whether or the point will or will not lie between and , as illustrated below. (There is also the case , but it is trivial.)
Either way, and are right triangles, and we have, by definition,
Combining these ratios, we find that
To finish deriving the sum identity, we manipulate the ratios derived above algebraically and use the fact that :
To lift the restriction on the range of and , we use the identities for complements and negatives of angles.

No teacher is an island
Today I want to focus on how the debate has overemphasized the contributions of individual teachers without thinking about the ways that schools function like organisms. No teacher is an island. In multiple ways, schools and colleagues enable and constrain the work that a teacher does in his or her own classroom. There are three key points to this argument:
1) Teachers are interdependent
This means two things. First, teachers provide instructional support to their peers. When Mrs. Jones heads down to Mrs. Scott's room to ask for help, trade ideas, talk over what to do about a difficult student, or plan a lesson together, we see evidence of the interdependence that makes schools a unique enterprise. To reduce teacher effectiveness to a measure of what one teacher does in her own classroom ignores that teaching is, in the best circumstances, a collective accomplishment. Identifying these "peer effects" formally is difficult for a host of boring methodological reasons, but nonetheless something that educational research needs to do.
The second issue applies specifically to middle and high schools, where students are taught by multiple teachers. When Mrs. Jones, the reading teacher, improves Mikey's reading skills so that Mrs. Scott can teach him how to do word problems, we see that no teacher is an island. When Mrs. Scott gets Mikey's attention problems under control so Mrs. Jones can get Mikey to sit still and read, we see another example of interdependence.
We don't think about interdependence because we are deluged with images of individual teachers administering vigilante justice in unruly schools (think "Dangerous Minds"). Those who haven't spent much time in urban schools assume that teachers are isolates. But I would submit that even in the toughest schools, there are teachers working together in ways that violate the independence assumption of the teacher quality debate.
2) Teachers play many roles in a school
There is an oft-cited maxim that returns to experience plateau after five years (which is true), with the implicit assumption that more experienced teachers aren't adding more value (which is not). Experienced teachers often serve as anchoring forces in addition to teaching students in their own classrooms. Some of these functions sit under the collaboration and mentoring points discussed above, but others involve schoolwide leadership.
If we opt to hire and reward teachers based only on their own students' performance, it follows that we would save a lot of money by shedding more experienced (and thus more expensive) teachers. Indeed, this is a fear of many teachers in New York City, which will begin allocating dollars, rather than teaching positions, to schools.
Thinking about returns to experience this way would be a mistake even for those concerned only with student achievement, as pulling out the core of our schools - experienced educators - may destabilize schools altogether.
3) Schools, as organizations, create the conditions for the work individual teachers do in their classrooms: Let's imagine that we want to compare the teachers in two different schools for the purposes of merit pay or job evaluations. In School A, resources are flush, class size is small, and the hallways are quiet. In School B, there are no books, class size is 50% larger, and the school is chaotic.
If we are going to make across school comparisons of teachers, we need to take into account that individual schools can make teachers more or less effective. What we really need to know is how Mrs. Jones at School A would have performed if she was a teacher at School B. Economists call this "firm-specific capital"; sociologists call this a "school effect." Irrespective of what we call it, we need to take school conditions into account when we think about comparing teachers across schools.

Teachers also support each other. Last year I hosted a monthly tea in my classroom for all people on the same planning period as I had. Teachers from all subjects came to share and relax together. I felt it played an important part in supporting each other.

One striking example of teacher interdependence and multiple roles is special education teachers who often work with other paraeducators in the classroom. Any teacher who tries to function as an island will quickly become overwhelmed!

I teach 6th grade literacy and social studies and my partner teaches math and science. We communicate daily about our schedules and we try to integrate our lessons. I find that my partner may have a different perspective or another way to handle a student (either academically or a behavior problem) and share strategies with me.
I agree with Christopher's statement:
"Any teacher who tries to function as an island will quicky become overwhelmed!"

In the strange wake of music's digital rebirth, vinyl has experienced a modest boom in popularity, seen by many as a replacement for the awkward middleman that is the compact disc. INCHES reviews the output of L.A.'s healthy vinyl community, believing that good music deserves much more than a handful of ones and zeros.

Artist: Dâm-Funk
Title: Toeachizown
Label: Stones Throw (Lincoln Heights)
Format: 5LP in collectible box with magnetic clasp
"Ain't easy to make these things," reads the entry in the Stones Throw news feed announcing a fresh run of Toeachizown box sets, but that statement's only half true. While this luxe box set surely does require feats of modern manufacturing to justify its 50-dollar price tag, knowing Dâm-Funk's creative fecundity, he probably could've dropped three such collections in 2009 alone. For those just arriving at the Funkmosphere, Toeachizown ("to each his own") compiles the inaugural salvo of releases from one of L.A.'s most hotly tipped talents -- a man who has an unbelievable knack for reviving the synth sounds of '80s -- from New Wavers like Human League to electro rap pioneer Egyptian Lover -- without inviting irony into his house.
But just because it was easy for Dâm to do it -- word is the album was delayed because he couldn't stop making songs for it -- doesn't mean its as easy as that to pigeonhole. Funk's approach to, well, funk is all-encompassing, dipping into the epic-length, free-flowing groove of pioneers like Parliament and Zapp, and borrowing much from this city's own early '90s G-funk movement. And while his compositions are indescribably smooth (one can't help but imagine a world where all elevator and waiting room music is replaced by these feel-good songs), they also display Funk's musicality and penchant for experimentation. Frankly put, the guy is the real deal, and the Toeachizown set an apt new cornerstone for any good funk collection.
Here are a handful of streaming tracks thanks to SoundCloud:
