PreK-12 EDUCATION
GKFF works closely with Tulsa and Union Public Schools and high-quality charter schools to help ensure that gains made in the early years continue throughout a child's educational journey.
Quality Public Schools
GKFF has been an active partner with Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) and Union Public Schools. The Foundation has served as an advocate for TPS's efforts to transform the way teachers and leaders are trained, evaluated and supported. In 2009, TPS launched its Teacher and Leadership Effectiveness Initiative (TLE) after months of research and collaboration between district administrators, principals, teachers, Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association leadership and the broader community. TLE deployed a thorough and objective five-tier evaluation process to measure the effectiveness of all professional staff members. TLE also uses student performance data to inform teaching strategies and personalize professional development. This innovative initiative has served as a statewide model.
Effective Educators
Teach for America (TFA) and City Year are key human capital strategies that the Foundation has supported in Tulsa. With a clear focus on eliminating education inequity through enlistment of the nation's future leaders, both programs serve in high-needs schools across the country. These organizations recruit top recent college graduates who demonstrate the potential to be successful teachers and places them in urban and rural schools across the nation. Through intensive training and professional development, both organizations' corps members are equipped to lead students to achieve academic gains.
Early Literacy
GKFF has worked closely to ensure all young children have an ability to read on grade level through a partnership with Reading Partners, an evidence-based, one-on-one tutoring model that serves 27 schools and nearly 1,500 kids annually in the early elementary years. Reading Partners seeks to increase student proficiency in Tulsa by 10 percentage points by 2019.
High-Quality Charter Schools
Tulsa Public Schools has adopted a collaborative approach to integrating charter schools into TPS. Charter schools provide an alternative to traditional district schools through careful site-based hiring, extended hours and a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum. Today, KIPP Tulsa, Tulsa Legacy Charter School and three Building Excellent Schools are examples of high-quality charter models operating within the community. Each of these schools focuses on academic excellence within a nurturing community, with adults who hold children to high expectations.

Item details
Curated Lace is what I call these.
I have so many amazing Haut Couture lace pieces, from 12" upwards, and sometimes up to 15" or more. I LOVE combining them, ( which is really curating them), to make beautiful groupings based on design, color or theme. I spend a great deal of time on this process because I enjoy it so much.
These can be used for so many creations, the list is endless. A few uses my clients have for them are.. Shoes, wrist warmers, jewelry, wedding hair pieces, kids clothing decor, perking up a favorite dress, wedding gloves finishes, textile art, scrapbooking, sewing projects, gift box decor and more.
When I think, you can hardly buy the best quality paper stickers for this price!
There are several of these in my shop so do browse them all to get a great selection.
I also add new ones regularly, so check back to get first dibs on the prettiest combinations.
The pieces range in size from 8-10" to 20 or more. It just depends on what I get. Feel free to ask me their size.
Some 'baggies' ( Which is what they are in when you get them) contain 3 items and some contain 4 items, they are therefor priced differently. Once in a while I find an additional piece works so well with the grouping that I add it as a bonus, a little surprise.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Have fun!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The Unattained - Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
A vision beauteous as the morn,
With heavenly eyes and tresses streaming,
Slow glided o'er a field late shorn
Where walked a poet idly dreaming.
He saw her, and joy lit his face.
"Oh, vanish not at human speaking,"
He cried, "thou form of magic grace,
Thou art the poem I am seeking.
"I've sought thee long! I claim thee now---
My thought embodied, living, real."
She shook the tresses from her brow.
"Nay, nay!" she said, "I am ideal.
I am the phantom of desire---
The spirit of all great endeavour,
I am the voice that says, 'Come higher.'
That calls men up and up for ever.
"'Tis not alone the thought supreme
That here upon thy path has risen;
I am the artist's highest dream,
The ray of light he cannot prison.
I am the sweet ecstatic note
Than all glad music gladder, clearer,
That trembles in the singer's throat,
And dies without a human hearer.
"I am the greater, better yield,
That leads and cheers thy farmer neighbour,
For me he bravely tills the field
And whistles gaily at his labour.
Not thou alone, O poet soul,
Dost seek me through an endless morrow,
But to the toiling, hoping whole
I am at once the hope and sorrow.
The spirit of the unattained,
I am to those who seek to name me,
A good desired but never gained.
All shall pursue, but none shall claim me."

Cubs' manager Lou Piniella and coach Matt Sinatro got lost driving from Chicago to Cincinnati Friday.
They might wish they had kept going because right now their entire team looks lost, and while the meandering tour of Ohio might have been good for some pre-game chuckles, Piniella found no humor about what happened later.
Their sixth loss in a row was a 10-2 embarrassment to the Reds and, with two pitchers already missing turns with sore arms, Ted Lilly's two-inning start certainly didn't help calm concerns.
Neither did a slumbering lineup, which managed only six hits off Bronson Arroyo and three relievers. In the past two games, the Cubs have 12 hits. Of those, 11 are singles, seven of the infield variety.
"I don't know where the offense has gone, I really don't," Piniella said afterward, in a statement apropos of the entire scene Friday.
"Look, these guys are trying so I have no complaints from that standpoint," he said. "But the truth of the matter is you have to get it done.
"It has been a struggle over the last half-dozen games to put runs on the board and when the pitching is not good, it gets ugly like [Friday]."
It was an ugly day all around for Piniella and Sinatro as they took the scenic route to Cincinnati.
"We actually Googled the trip and we were Googled to East Liverpool, Pa., evidently. Who in the heck knows?" Piniella said. "On the [printout] sheet we had Cincinnati-Liverpool. And I'm thinking to myself, I was in Cincinnati for three years and I don't remember a Liverpool around the area."
That might be because East Liverpool, Ohio, is on the western border of Pennsylvania, so the printout took Piniella and Sinatro east instead of south.
With Sinatro driving, Piniella took a short nap.
"When I woke up we were about 80-90 miles from Cleveland. I said no, I don't think so. So we backtracked and came down through Columbus and got here at 5 o'clock. We left Chicago at 8 in the morning so we should have been here at 2 [p.m.]
"I probably shouldn't have taken the nap."
Actually, he probably wished he could have kept sleeping, given Friday's performance by his team. It was like awakening from a nightmare.
Lilly lasted only two innings, his shortest outing since last Sept. 30 when he threw two scoreless shutout innings as a tuneup for the playoff and his most runs allowed since April 17. He is 0-4 with a 9.68 ERA against the Reds this season.
And he put his team in an early 5-0 hole with three walks, a hit batter and four hits, including Joey Votto's 18th home run, eight of which have come against the Cubs.
That's the most against the Cubs for a single opponent since Cardinals Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols each slugged eight in 2004.
"It was probably my most disappointing start of year given I had a little more motivation to go out and win this one given the circumstances of the last five days," Lilly said.
Reliever Jon Lieber wasn't much better than Lilly, allowing Jay Bruce's grand slam in the fourth inning.
By the end of the sixth inning, Piniella had removed regulars Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Mark DeRosa and Geovany Soto, whose replacement Koyie Hill doubled home a run in the seventh.

This is an interesting site in that it offers such a clear view of Maiden Castle and the surrounding landscape. I've only ever seen these barrows from maiden castle in the past so this reverse view (for me) is very welcome indeed. It's also an interesting place as it joins up Maiden Castle right across to
The Hellstone
Black Down
and the Hardy monument, across to
Hampton Down
. This is a must do walk for the future!

I decided to have a closer look at the first barrow in this group. It's a very unusual example, possibly unique, as it is a large bell barrow with a very wide platform or berm, a deep ditch and a two foot high surrounding bank. This has much more in common with disc type barrows which more normally contain a small mound within the banks. L.V.Grinsell picks this barrow out as being particularly unusual in his book. I have seen this barrow mentioned in other books, such as Dorset's Archaeology by Peter Stanier as a unique example of a bell/disc barrow.

There are five barrows in this group , which is part of the Dorset ridgeway chain , including Bronkham hill, Bincombe and Came. These barrows overlook Maiden castle . I am keeping a close eye on the three middle round barrows in this group as they have been ploughed at least once in the last 5 years . According to magic they are scheduled ancient monuments , but I'm not sure who to inform about deliberate damage. They are very easy to see as they are on a "b" road from Weymouth, with a layby right next to them. I have counted the barrows from west to east , the first being the most westerly.The first of this group is a large disc barrow with pronounced outer bank and ditch , the eastern part of the ditch is now only apparent as a crop mark, having long been ploughed out.

Feed Enough, Not an Army
The truth about food waste and how to prevent it. Written by Brittany Agro, Event Manager Last week, our President Dave Evans had an opportunity to speak alongside Suzanne Morrell, Founder STM|enterprises, Creating Events and D.C. Event Food Waste Coalition, Samantha Kenny, Associate Specialist, Food Waste, at the World Wildlife Fund-US and Kate Urbank, FDC … Continued
The food was exceptional from start to finish, and many, many guests provided immediate and vocal feedback about how delicious everything was.
I cannot say enough good things about Glynis Keith and the team at Catering By Seasons.
As mother of the bride, I was totally impressed by the professional, helpful and curteous service Catering By Seasons provided at my daughter's wedding.

So far, so good.
Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's transition is going "smoothly" thus far, according to his wife Chirlane McCray – who made an unannounced visit to a downtown ideas forum on the next administration.
McCray said she's been serving as a "sounding board" and "partner" to her husband, who has been mostly hunkered down out of public view since winning the election on Nov. 5.
But she wouldn't say whether or not the interviewing for top positions had yet begun.
"The whole point of transition is to bring in new ideas and new people," McCray told reporters Tuesday after touring the Talking Transition tent on Canal Street. "In the coming days a great gathering will occur of minds and people as to what we should be doing in terms of running the government."
McCray said she was impressed by the wealth of ideas being offered by the public for the new Mayor, but she wouldn't single any that stood out.
"I like the idea that so many people have come in here and logged their opinions and talked about what their priorities are for the city and the direction the city should go in," she said. "When you add all of that up it's going to be a very interesting portrait of where the city is now and what people care about."

The staff is on the problem and is looking for solutions. In the mean time we don't want to give an incentive to flood the database with bugged scores. We are now in the process of recalculating the points of the UCBench2011 submissions.

The ROG series from ASUS is known for its excellent gaming machines. Though a tad expensive, hardcore gamers have been falling in love with their gaming laptops without any doubt. In this ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 review, we will be looking at another release in the same series.
This new gaming laptop is mainly aimed at serious gamers who deserve only the best. This is not the most expensive laptop in the gaming category but still has what it takes to compete with the best in business. Read this full review and find out if this is going to be your next gaming machine.
Click Here to see what other Owners are saying!
The design is no different from the previous ROG machines. That is not a bad thing at all. It is a design that has been working, why mess with it. Cooling is crucial for gaming machines, and you can find exhaust outlets all over the back side and the bottom.
When you open the lid, you can see the gorgeous screen and the keyboard. The keyboard has well-spaced keys and is a treat for gamers. They are backlit and offer a pleasant experience while gaming. The trackpad is a normal offering and nothing out of the ordinary.
With dimensions of 12.50 x 16.40 x 1.70 inches, the laptop weighs around 8.4 pounds which is by no means light. Since this is a serious gaming laptop, let's just assume you are not going to take it outside a lot. Overall, the design is pretty standard for an ROG machine and works in our favor.
ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 Specs
We mentioned the gorgeous display earlier. Let's talk a bit more about it. Here we have a 17.3-inch LED backlit Full HD display. This is with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The picture quality is brilliant, and your games will now be more detailed than ever.
The display also comes with G-Sync hardware technology. What it does is that it syncs the frame rate of the display to that of the GPU and offers a smooth gaming experience to the gamers. Once you get used to this, it is a hard way going back.
There are some disappointments in the display departments as well. This is not a touchscreen and if you were expecting one, then you'll be disappointed. For a gaming machine, that is not a deal breaker in our view.
The ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 gaming laptop is run by an Intel core i7 processor. This i7 4720HQ processor is a 4th gen quad-core processor that clocks at 2.6GHz. With the help of Intel's turbo boost technology, you can reach clock speeds up to 3.6GHz.
This is one of the best processors in the Haswell generation and is a very good choice for a gaming laptop. It can run pretty much any game you throw at it without any problem. Apart from gaming, it can also run any applications with ease which is cool if you are planning to use it for work as well.
There are 16 gigs of RAM in the memory department. This is a very good memory for gaming, and most of the games won't require this much memory to be honest. With Intel's hyperthreading in action, you can run even the busiest onscreen games without any lag.
You can also upgrade to 32GB of RAM if you need, but that is overkill in most of the cases. This memory (16GB) should be good enough for years to come, and you can thank us later for helping you save a few bucks here.
Now, to the best part of this ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 review, the graphics card. We have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M graphics card that comes with a 3GB DDR5 dedicated memory. This is a 28nm graphics card that is mainly made for high-end gaming laptops. It is also one of the best graphics cards on the market right now.
With this GPU, you can run any game you wish. It can run games like Batman: Arkham Knight, The Witcher 3, GTA V, Battlefield Hardline and other games at very good frame rates even at a higher setting. If you are a serious gamer, this is a graphics card you will enjoy using.
For storage purpose, you got a 1TB hard drive with a speed of 7200RPM. This gives you enough space to load your favorite games. There is also a 256GB solid state drive that is excellent for performance. You have to applaud ASUS for including this as this can make a good impact.
Booting time is now only in seconds. The opening and closing of games and applications is also faster. All these improvements are mainly due to the inclusion of the S.S.D.
The operating system here is Windows 8.1. You can upgrade to Windows 10 for free for the first year. This is a relatively simple process and will not take a lot of time. This new OS has been getting good reactions from the crowd that its predecessor didn't manage.
The battery life is pretty decent at 2 to 4 hours depending on the usage. For a 17.3-inch full HD display, that is very good. Connectivity is also taken care of in this model. You get 4 USB 3.0 ports and a DVD writer that can be very useful at times. The laptop also supports Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11a/c wireless connectivity.
ASUS offers a one-year international warranty. There is also a one-year accidental damage protection that can help you against spills, surges, fire and drops. This is pretty sweet stuff from ASUS.
ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 Review: Verdict
This ASUS ROG G751JT-DB73 review has reached its climax. It is now time for our verdict. This is an excellent gaming machine. With a beautiful display, an excellent CPU and a splendid GPU, this is easily one of the best gaming laptops out there. If you are in the market for a gaming laptop, this is a very good choice.

A poignant poem by Reena. It's intense and sensuous.
If I stoop
it is to drink deep of you
my doppelgänger, black and grey
I wear your shades better than any other
wanting none on the bench beside us
You moved in with me
not content with one night stands
Watching you tackle my empty bottles, rusty knives
and dripping sheets, I knew I was home
I kiss you in my smiles in old photographs
in poems hidden because I can't bear sunlight touching your skin
in the sound of the ocean that surges on the window sill
in the sleeping faces of my children who left before childhood
in the creaks of rickety knees trying to catch cheap buses
and in the mossy cracks of an old house on the verge of doom
sometimes getting up in the dark like Psyche
to gaze at your familiar face
and marvel at the span of your wings folded over me
grazing myself with your arrow
Even if they part us some day
you will live on as sepia patches in my heart
and as wrinkles upon my face
Till then, let our shafts hold fast and slowly whirl
your seasons cyclic, my blood in swirls
a muted echopraxia
of a world
afflicted with vertigo

First and foremost, I would like to thank _motley for his kernel since this is based on his kernel. I chose his kernel because I have worked with him and IMO is the best kernel out there at the moment . Second, I would like to thank pinoyto and secret for testing the kernels. Also thanks to Koush, Blades, faux123, pershoot, chatch15117, all the Gtab, Asus Transformer and Motorola Atrix users, and other devs that I may have missed. BIG THANKS to my beloved wife for watching the kids while I do this.
I call this kernel elite since the timings are pretty aggressive and voltage are decreased on the low side and increased on the high side. This kernel might not work on your device because of these so be sure that you have a backup and and that you are familiar on restoring your device.
The following are the difference with motley's kernel
1. JRCU is implemented
2. Lowest backlight setting set to 5 (save battery and better reading at night, if you have screen flicker issue it will be more noticable because of this so I suggest covering the ground pin of wifi)
3. Core voltage increased from 1200 to 1250mv on the high side to hit 1.7 frequency and 600 GPU but decreased from 950 to 900mv on the low side.
4. Increased CPU voltage to 1240mv for 1.7 frequency but allows decreased 750mv in low side
5. Increased GPU clock to 600 and pixclock increased (please let me know if you have problems on screen due to pixclock increase but so far no issues on testers)
6. Built using gcc 4.5.2 ( I know, I'm an oldie)
7. DVFS core table completely changed to allow max clock of host1x and pll_c and hit most max frequencies.
8. Enable Thermal_Sys to throttle at 68 (BTW, if you are using system tuner, the reading is +10 as per secret)
Added 484 GPU and 520 GPU. LMK how it goes.
Link is below
Source in compliance with GPL
Releasing another 1.8ghzCPU and 650mhz GPU
Here are the differences with the last 650gpu
1. Used Linaro compiler
2. Increased 3d/2d bus, pll_c, and host1x for higher scores
3. Removed the pixclock overclock, This is running on default pixclock by Asus. This will limit the fps to 60 fps max, so old benchmarks will not score over 100 fps but will only max at 60. I suggest newer benchmarks like GL2.5 or Benchmark 2.0 ES Taiji...
4. EMC voltage decreased to 1.100 mv (Not sure if your device can handle this but pinoyto's device was fine with it)
Here is the link
If you like my work, please click on Donate button on my Sig and add on to my Nexus 7 fund Thanks
*** SPECIAL RECOGNITION goes to PINOYTO for the first donation of this project. THANKS for rewarding my hard work!! ***
Thanks to masterg0g0 for 2nd donation
Also thanks to all the testers of the 700mhz GPU.
This latest kernel comes with the 1.8ghz CPU and 700 GPU with 3 types of pixclocks.
First off is the max pixclock. This has the highest pixclock of all the kernels and will limit your fps to over 100 fps. The downside is the pink screen issue.
Second is the mid pixclock overclock. If you have a pink issue on the first one, try this. This will limit your fps to about 90 fps. The downside is you might still have a pink screen
Third is the NO pixclock overclock. This for sure will have no pink issue but will limit your fps to about 65 fps.
Here are the changes made from this latest kernels
1. GPU increased to 700 gpu, vcore and vrail voltages increased
2. pll_c, host1x increased to accomodate the increase in GPU speed
3. Compiled using Linaro toolchain.
The timings in this kernel are very aggressive, voltages although within Nvidia limits are high. Please make sure you backup and be very familiar in recovering your device.
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, PLEASE CLICK on the "DONATE TO ME" BUTTON UNDER MY SIG TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION and ADD on to my "NEXUS 7 FUND". Your donation will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
Overclocked to 1.8ghz with GPU at 650..WARNING THIS IS GOING TO GET HOT!!!
Pink fix
1. Temp limit increased to 70
2. Voltages increased to accomodate 1.8ghz and 650 gpu
BTW, if you like my work, please dont hesitate to click on the Donate button under my username. Thanks.

It was like in a movie. You were looking for something new to read in the library, and found a so far unknown section. The books here were dusty, looked like they weren't used for a long time. You just took one and started to read it. It's title was: Theodora. You read through the first two pages and from then, you couldn't stop. It was intriguing. It was the story of a warrior, who lived in this city long time ago. He fell in love with this woman, Theodora. When the war came, they escaped together. They found a cave and hid there. It turned out that they found a gold mine. Based on the description, you found the cave from the story.

Focus Bangla in talks with Tata Sky, Dish TV to increase penetration
KOLKATA: The erstwhile Northeast Bangla (NE Bangla), recently rechristened Focus Bangla, is in talks with direct-to-home (DTH) players like Tata Sky and Dish TV to increase penetration. At present, only cable TV subscribers and Airtel Digital TV customers can view the channel.
The 24x7 Bengali news channel also plans to put up 200 hoardings across the state of West Bengal from mid-April to send out the message that the channel is neutral and believes in airing unbiased news. It has even changed its logo to suggest that it will be more ?focussed? in presenting news from all angles.
?We are in talks with Tata Sky and Dish TV though nothing has been finalised. We aim to reach 95 per cent TV homes in the state sooner,? Focus Bangla editor-in-chief Biswa Majumdar told indiantelevision.com.
He also said that last week, the viewership of the new channel increased by around 22 per cent as compared to the week before. ?Focus TV is in focus now. Focus Bangla is a news broadcasting and entertainment network,? he said and added that the channel would focus on political news with the impending elections and would interview most of the big names in the polls.
Focus Bangla has more than 150 employees on board and is further recruiting people to cover all aspects of news, current affairs and especially, the Lok Sabha elections, to make a mark all over again on the Bengali audience.
?For elections, we have 14 special programmes. Celebrities will go to places and interact with people,? Majumdar said.
Apart from the ?Khabar Aajke? section, the channel has a separate Bollywood entertainment section.
According to sources, Matang Sinh, a former minister of state for parliamentary affairs in the PV Narsimharao government owned Focus TV and NE Bangla. Last year however, Naveen Jindal, chairman of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) bought a stake in the channel through his family and associates. ?Jindal had taken over Focus TV in Delhi last year,? said one of the sources.

Today in China, Motorola revealed their new Android-powered CloudBB (HMC3260), which is being described as a "home entertainment terminal." The device features an 18.5 inch touchscreen display paired with a wireless keyboard and mouse. China Digitial TV Media Group will market the device to their 13 million customers as a way to watch on-demand video, launch games and applications, and access other cloud-based entertainment services.
We don't expect this product to be available in the US, but it could be a preview of what's in store for future Android devices from Motorola.
Android can almost replace a PC, but the overall experience is not quite there. Google is working on multi-user support for shared devices and optimizing Android to run on faster hardware, and we think it's only a mater of time before Google or Motorola release another all-in-one device. Motorola was one of the first companies to release a smartphone that could turn into a laptop or PC, but it never really took off.
We have asked the question many times, but what does Android need to offer if you are going to give up your desktop computer? Would you rather have an all-in-one desktop PC or a smartphone that could turn into a laptop, tablet or PC?

Headscarves in Catholic schools
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | Sep 03, 2003
Courtesy of Fox News, we have a transcript of this on-target commentary from news anchor David Asman:
The Council on American Islamic Relations, known as CAIR, is an organization determined to stamp out prejudice against Muslims in America. Anti-Muslim bias is a nasty side effect of the war on terror that often goes unrecognized by non-Muslims. So when CAIR came to the defense of a 17-year-old Muslim girl in Cleveland, who isn't allowed to wear her traditional headscarf to school, the news media took note.
On the face of it, the school's policy seems prejudicial, except for one thing: The school in question is a private, Catholic school with a strict dress code. Uniforms play a key role in the school's handbook, which states: "No hats, no bandannas or head wraps are permitted."
But despite the explicit instructions, and despite the fact that the school established a special prayer space for its Muslim students, CAIR continues to charge the school with prejudice. This left one educator to ask, "Would CAIR come to the defense of a Christian student barred from talking about Jesus in a Muslim school?"Sound Off! CatholicCulture.org supporters weigh in.

Is it me or is it odd that a Catholic school provides prayer space for Muslim students? The school's administrators find this appropriate? If one signs up for a Catholic education then I assume they understand that part of that is learning about Jesus Christ, and therefore learning about Catholic culture and prayer practice (!?). While ecumenicism is important, I think Catholic education is at the foundation of the new evangelization. We might ponder and prayerfully examine this, I think.

Sounds like headline-grabbing special pleading to me -- the parents of this girl knowingly enrolled her in a private school with a published dress code. And let's be realistic -- a 17-year old is not naive. I, for one, am more than weary of such manipulative tactics by Moslems in this country. I hope the school will stand by its principles and not set a bad precedent for itself and other like institutions.

For more on the headcovering for Catholic women: extremecatholic.blogspot.com The school is pondering reversing its decision. We'll see if the reversal (if it happens) is reported in the Daily Times of Pakistan.

Bring back the "mantillas"!!

As a Catholic institution, they should be sympathetic to the cause and allow the girl to wear her headscarf with her uniform. i see no conflict.

A walk through any toy store will reveal dozens of toy computers, laptops, cell phones and even tables. Back in the day though, we had toy typewriters.
Two things struck me when I ran across this toy in a local antique mall last weekend: the fact that it's a typewriter, and the fact that it's made of metal and covered with sharp edges. The thought of selling a children's toy today made out of metal and covered with sharp edges seems foreign to us, but back in the day it was actually pretty normal.
I thought about picking this up before I saw the price tag, at which point I realized I could probably buy at least 50 used typewriters for the same amount of money.

Jumps Racing
Jumps racing in New Zealand is enjoying a time of huge popularity at present.
Horse numbers and interest in this fascinating sub code of thoroughbred horse racing is on the rise.
During the winter months, the racing pages of the nation's newspapers focus on the outstanding prestige jump races that take place across the country.
The NZ racing season contains around 100 jump racing events, split evenly between hurdles and steeplechases. All of these are run between the beginning of May and the end of September.
The top races are categorized as Prestige Jumping Races, the most valuable of which are the Great Northern Steeplechase over 6400m and the Great Northern Hurdle over 4190m which are staked at $125,000.
Other Prestige Jumping Races include the Grand Nationals run at Riccarton Park in Christchurch and the Wellington Hurdle and Steeplechase competed for at Trentham.
All the season's key highlights, with exception of the Grand National Hurdle (on Wednesday) are run on Saturdays. This guarantees maximum exposure for the scintillating and thrilling spectacles.
In 2014 NZTR announced generous stakes increases to the majority of the jumping races. A total of $150,000 was added to a prize pool allocated to jump racing of just over $2 million.
This increase saw the following races stakes increased to $50,000 – the Waikato Hurdle and Steeplechase, the McGregor Grant Hurdle and Steeplechase, the Manawatu Hurdle and Steeplechase, the Hawkes Bay Hurdle and Steeplechase, the Pakuranga Hunt Hurdle and Steeplechase. Meanwhile, the Koral and Sydenham run at Riccarton in August have seen their stakes increased to $30,000 and the Wellington Hurdle and Steeple increased to $75,000.
The major innovation of recent years has been the introduction of open nomination races. This form of race entry has guaranteed a start at almost all jumping fixtures for each and every horse. In some circumstances, horses can be expected to compete out of their grade. If this is the case they are however rewarded for doing so. If maiden and race winners are placed together – the stake will be $20,000 and the first maiden home (unless they finish 1st) will receive a $1,000 maiden bonus. It has seen race field sizes increase significantly, especially in the South Island where starter numbers were smaller than elsewhere in the country.
Additionally, nomination and acceptance fees have been removed from all races with the exception of the Prestige Jumping events. This will provide a significant saving to owners.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding jump racing in New Zealand please do not hesitate to contact Dennis Ryan, NZ Jumps Coordinator and Secretary of NZ Jumps Inc on +64 27 478 9520 or email him email@example.com

China and Los Angeles are BFFing out of control right now.
After L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took a $30,000-a-day tour of Beijing, Chongqing and Shanghai in December, one of China's top officials is returning the favor:
Vice President Xi Jinping, fully expected to become the rising nation's next president, is devoting two full days of next week's U.S. tour to Los Angeles. Here's his itinerary, based on information from media reports:
- Arrive at LAX with giant posse on Thurdsay. Jump into open arms of Mayor Villaraigosa, who will then whisk him away to "a luncheon to welcome the delegation," according to City News Service.
- Tour the Port of Los Angeles. And y'all know what that means! Luxury cruise in our very own taxpayer-funded city yacht.
- "Sign agreements to expand Chinese tourism to L.A." and "announce a new Chinese company in the city" alongside the beaming mayor.
- Meet up with some bigger political players -- Vice President Joe Biden and California Governor Jerry Brown -- for "a U.S.-China economic and trade forum." (Don't worry, Mayor V; you and Xi have a connection that no D.C./Sacramento hotshot could rival.)
- Last but not least, before flying out Friday evening, the guest of honor hopes to make a stop at Staples Center to watch the Los Angeles Lakers whup the Phoenix Suns. Breathless details from the Wall Street Journal:
Details of Vice President Xi's visit are still being finalized--and the schedule could change at any time--but officials are making arrangements for him to attend the game in Los Angeles on the last day of his visit, possibly with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, these people said. He would be the first Chinese leader to attend an NBA match.
The idea originated from the Chinese side, these people said, and appears to be another attempt to establish an image for Mr. Xi at home and overseas as a relatively open and confident leader who feels comfortable in a public setting, and in dealing with the U.S.
Some bittersweet news for Clippers fans: The Journal reports that Xi originally wanted to attend a Clippers game, going so far as to make a "personal request" to the U.S. Treasury Secretary. (Damn, Xi! Good taste!) But unfortunately, "since their next game is not until Feb. 18th -- the day after he leaves -- arrangements are being made for him to watch the Lakers instead."
Boo. Still, it'll be fun to see if Villaraigosa tags along and breaks some more ethics rules. Also, to see how hard he schmoozes Xi for subway and high-speed-rail funding, which he desperately needs to fulfill his campaign promises. Further reading: "Should China Own the L.A. Subway?"

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Below, Villaraigosa's me-me-me statement on the visit.
"I am honored that Vice President Xi Jinping accepted my invitation to visit Los Angeles as we continue to foster relationships that were renewed during my trade mission to China in December."
Guess we're embracing the Commies now! Democracy becomes a little less important to a pol when he's drained all his own coffers and needs some foreign gold to fund his pipe dreams.

Trials of the car racing game among a group of 60 to 85-year-olds found that it improved their working memory and their sustained attention, which are needed to stay in an active and engaged state.
The game involved driving a car around a winding track while watching out for a particular type of road sign and pressing a button as quickly as possible when it appeared.
Doing so required the participants to "multitask", an ability which diminishes with age, but after just 12 hours of gameplay the participants could beat a group of 20-year-olds who had not played the game before.
Some of the benefits in memory and attention were still noticeable six months after the volunteers stopped the "brain training", researchers reported in the Nature journal.
Dr Adam Gazzaley of the University of California San Francisco, who led the study, said the result "is a powerful example of how plastic the older brain is".
The game is particularly effective because it becomes more difficult as players improve, continuing to exercise their brain as much as possible, he said.
Recordings taken from participants during the trial identified a brain network involved in cognitive control which is involved in the pursuit of goals and could explain the improvements seen among older participants.
As the older group improved at the game, their brain waves became more similar to those of younger people suggesting the training was improving their ability to "stay in an engaged, active state for a longer period of time," the first author of the paper, Joaquin Anguera, said.
Dr Gazzaley has a patent pending on the game, known as "NeuroRacer", although he said further studies are needed to find out exactly how the game causes people's mental performance to change.
As well as memory loss, the findings could form the basis for therapies in patients with ADHD, depression and dementia, he added.
Dr Emil Toescu, of the University of Birmingham's School of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, who was not involved in the study, said: "The technology is not yet sufficiently proven to recommend itself for immediate adoption by older people, but, on the other hand, a moderately complex gaming experience is always good fun, whatever the age, and it cannot do damage."

Save Money by Choosing Green Options
The following is a guest post from Bryn Huntpalmer, editor-in-chief at Modernize.com.
Taking care of Mother Earth is certainly important. At Modernize, we've found that green practices tend to save money, which motivates us even more to live eco-conscious lifestyles. Here are a few simple changes that will reduce waste and help save you some green.
Upgrade Paper Products
It's tempting to order pizza and serve it on paper plates or napkins, but convenience comes at a price. Paper, plastic, and Styrofoam products are typically produced with nonrenewable resources, which can be incredibly detrimental to the environment.
Stop this waste by using your actual dishes as much as possible. We suggest finding colorful plates you'll be excited to use and keep clean. You won't have to spend money on buying paper or plastic goods when you run out, which will save you money in the long run.
Paper towels are another household go-to, however, switching to cloth napkins or reusable paper towels can save you some major bucks. Just think about how much money you could save by purchasing paper towels less frequently. You may think you'll be overwhelmed with laundry, but these cloth napkins and towels are small enough to throw into nearly every load.
Grow Your Own Garden
Let's face it: spices, herbs, and produce are expensive. If you love that organic, fresh taste (who doesn't?), then cut costs on delicious seasonings and fresh vegetables by growing them yourself. You can recycle tea tins, canisters, mason jars, and more to create planters. Set them up in your kitchen near natural light, or start your own backyard garden.
With options to grow everything from basil to oregano, berries, green beans, and more, you can save a ton of money on natural, healthy foods. Planting your own garden is great for the environment, too.
Commute Smarter
If you have a great group of friends at work, school, or church, it's a smart idea to start a carpool. When you split the cost of gas, oil changes, and tolls, you can save a lot of money on your commuting costs. Carpooling even has advantages like being able to use the HOV lane, or sometimes enjoying reserved parking spots up front.
Vehicle exhaust is a huge pollutant and damages the ozone every day. Reducing the amount of vehicles on the road means cutting back on pollution, too. So, if you can walk or ride your bike instead of jumping in the driver's seat, choose this energy-saving option to save money and help the environment.
These are a few ideas to get you started, but you'll have opportunities to make eco-friendly decisions every day. If you're getting rid of old furniture, ask yourself if it could be upcycled. Consider donating unwanted items to charity or thrift stores to grab a tax deduction instead of throwing them away. Decisions like that may seem small, but they will save you money over time—and protect the environment, too!
Bryn Huntpalmer lives in Austin, Texas where she currently works as editor-in-chief of Modernize.com with the goal of empowering homeowners with the expert guidance and educational tools they need to take on big home projects with confidence.

The preparation of this remedy is very simple and you only need one thing – potato peels. Peel 5 potatoes and put their peels in a pot with water. Bring it to boil and let it simmer for some 5-6 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool down. Then strain the liquid and store it in a plastic container or a bottle. If you'd like to make it smell a bit nicer you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Your white hair eraser is ready for use.
First wash your hair and then rinse and massage your scalp with this mixture. Leave it in for five minutes before washing it off with warm water and your regular shampoo. Repeat the process a few times a week and soon you'll notice significant improvement. In just a few weeks you'll be amazed by the results.

Reverend Billy & the Church of Stop Shopping Occupy Wall Street (Video)
The Reverend Billy Talen and his infamous Church of Stop Shopping dropped by the massive protests on Wall Street last night to deliver a brief sermon, and I caught the Rev's speech on video. Watch above as he rejoices because #OccupyWallStreet protesters are calling out hydrofracking, carbon pollution, mountaintop removal mining, sweatshop products, and strip malls ...For more on why environmentalists should join the Occupy Wall Street movement, check out my brief manifesto, and Mat's thoughtful treatise on the topic.

Photo of a Taiwanese woman innocently eating a pork bun in Typhoon Megi goes viral
Typhoon Megi, since September 27, has left four dead and 524 injured in Taiwan, and at least three dead and more than 20 people missing in China. News outlets have been reporting on the story with many (Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, ABC, and Boston Herald) sharing the same Associated Press article, or at least the main photo of a woman who, as the caption reads: "eats and struggles with her umbrella against powerful gusts of wind generated by typhoon Megi across the island in Taipei, Taiwan." This has inadvertently propelled the pork-bun-eating-woman in the photo into the spotlight of her home country and the internet.
The photo shot by Associated Press' Chiang Ying-Ying has taken on a life of its own, being widely circulated due to its relatability:
Buzzfeed has reported that the woman has been identified by Apple Daily Taiwan as a 53-year-old fruit stand merchant, Dai; she chose to only provide her last name to the outlet. That day, Dai opened up her shop and closed it early due to the typhoon. As she made her way home, she was eating a pork bun that her husband purchased from convenience store chain, FamilyMart.
She has reportedly called the incident "unlucky" as the photo was not what she wants to be known for. However, she hopes that with any articles pertaining to her, those stories could at least refer to her fruit stand to hopefully help increase sales. She may want to consider selling pork buns alongside the fruits - it wouldn't hurt!

It's called a "wing set".
I was given a Kreepy by a neighbor that was moving out of state.
While it works fine, a few weeks ago one side of the wing-set (which had hardened and deteriorated) broke off. The replacement part is about $24 locally.
I've used the Kreepy since then, and honestly...haven't noticed a difference in any level of performance. I've looked hard at the part and I'm stumped as to what it's function is.
I'm tempted not to replace the part...but I'd still like to know what it's supposed to do.
Here's another picture. The wing-set is (are?) the two large light-blue flaps that sit on top of the pleated round pad.
Any ideas as to it's function? Am I missing something important by not replacing it?
