(Reuters) - BEIRUT, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The Lebanese army shelled militant positions in the border zone with Syria on Wednesday near a town that was seized by Islamist insurgents earlier this month, a security source said.
It was the first such engagement since the radical Sunni Muslim militants including fighters affiliated to Islamic State withdrew from the town of Arsal three weeks ago following five days of deadly battles with the army.
The army opened fire with artillery after observing suspicious movement by the militants, the source said. There was no immediate information on casualties.
Earlier, Syrian warplanes had bombed the same area, the source said.
The five-day battle in Arsal marked the biggest spillover to date of the Syrian civil war into Lebanon. Dozens of people were killed, including 18 soldiers.
The insurgents including members of the Nusra Front, al Qaeda's official affiliate in the Syrian war, and Islamic State, which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.
The militant forces withdrew on Aug. 7, taking with them 18 captive soldiers and 15 policemen.

"Rumors are tearing this town up," Harriman Mayor Harold Wester declared during a heated Harriman City Council meeting. "People are just looking for a bad rumor." The meeting's discussion centered around two former police officers accused of theft. No charges were placed, and Harriman Police Chief Don Day denied any allegations of a cover-up.

The second LCA-Tejas prototype in Indian Navy pre-configuration took to the skies on 7 February 2015, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) confirmed on 9 February.
NP2 made its 35 minute flight from the HAL plant in Bangalore, taking off at about 12:27 local time. The aircraft will be especially tested on its landing gear design, which is different from the regular set of wheels of the air force variant.
During the design and construction NP2 has been customized (Plug & Play) to incrementally accept modifications for Carrier Landing aids like the Levcon Air Data Computer, auto-throttle, external and internal angle of attack lights. NP2 is the lead aircraft for arrestor hook integration, Derby Beyond visual Range missile and tactical data link. Arrested landing and ski-jump take-offs will be tested at a shore-based facility in Goa before moving to a carrier at sea.
Captain Shivnath Dahiya, Indian Navy and Natinional Flight Test Centre (NFTC) was the test pilot on the job. Test Director being Gp. Capt Prabhu and the Safety Pilot being Gp. Capt. RR Tyagi were flying chase.

Weird Error 0x80070522: A required privilege is not held by the client
I have a weird Error 0x80070522 error on one of my partition. Why is weird ? Well because I cannot save anything on the partition because I receive this error. However sometimes, randomly i can copy files on that partition after I receive the ''You need to provide system administrator privilege.... '' message.
I didn't have this problem until few days ago after some windows updates.
I tried the solution found here but it didn't worked.
If I login as Administrator everything is working fine.

Welcome to Seven Forum spitf1r3. Sorry your question got overlooked. Do you have a system restore image from before this began? This is the easy answer if it works. You could then try the updates one at a time, making a system image before each. See if one causes the same issue.

Unfortunately I have disabled system restore after I instaled the OS. I somewhat managed to resolve the problem.
If I download an archive (rar, zip,ace) from web it doesn't let me move it on that partiton, but if I extract that archive I can copy/move it.. All other files I can move/ copy on the partition.

Back to Basics
For the independent film industry, the film festival is a crucial institution for showing the project and possibly finding wider distribution. A film festival is often a place where multiple films are shown in a situation that is different than a commercial theatrical run. Films are submitted to the festival by their producers or distributors and then those in charge of the event determine what projects are going to be included for screening. This is an important place to get films shown that may not be built for a wide release, and is often the first stage of a longer commercial run. Here are a few articles that outline the basics of the film festival format, how you can begin to submit to one yourself, how to document it for others, and even a few free festivals that you can start out with.
- slide 2 of 8
U.S. Favorites
The United States has quickly become a beacon for independent film through its incredibly large list of film festivals. Almost every locality has seemed to create one, often because they bring in a great amount of revenue, are a general economic boost to the local area, and are generally a great artistic event. Here are some of the more popular and high quality film festivals within our borders that aspiring filmmakers should try to target.

In the City
On a more specific level, many large metropolis areas hold more than just a couple film festival events. In fact, the more art and entertainment focused cities will have a number of different film festivals that you can target, some even being focused on genres or minority filmmakers. Here is a breakdown of different film festivals by the city that they are in.
- slide 4 of 8
World Film Festivals
Your options for screening your independent film project open up dramatically if you pass through our borders and go international. On the world stage, there are a number of film festivals and regions that target a diversity of filmmakers from all nations and cultures. These international film festivals are important if you want to begin connecting with the world film community and if you want to keep your film relevant in the modern market.
- slide 5 of 8
Many film festivals are targeted not just at regions or at distributors, but at specialty focuses in the content or film festivals. Whether it is films made by cultural groups or minorities, for specific political or religious persuasions, or even for special parts of the country, specialty film festivals are so numerous that it can be a great way to find a community that is already fit for your unique background and voice as a filmmaker.
- slide 6 of 8
The content of your film can also be set apart in your choice of film festival, especially if it is part of an identifiable genre with a notable fan base. This can make your film easier to be included in the festival, especially if it is a genre that may not get as much respect in some of the more traditional venues. Whether you want some laughs with a comedy or screams with a horror film, a genre-specific film festival is often a great way to get your film seen by the kind of audience that will enjoy it.
- slide 7 of 8
The Best of the Best
Out of the hundreds of film festivals you can submit to, there are a few that tower over the rest. These festivals have become a professional beacon, existing as a place for people to unveil their high profile projects, make large-scale commercial sales, and rub shoulders with the rest of the film industry. Take a look at these film festivals and find out why they may be the place for your film to make it big.
- slide 8 of 8
What Now?
Now that you have actually considered a few of these film festivals, the important thing is to keep your projects organized and have something worthy of submitting. The process is expensive when you consider the submission fees, the cost of sending in your film, and then the overall expenses of printing the copies you need. Try to find festivals that really fit your film and its audience, and make sure that your attempts are going to be as fruitful as possible.

Willem de Kooning, an art icon and one of the pioneers of the Abstract Expressionism movement, would turn 108 today. Join us in remembering his tremendous contributions to the art world on his birthday. In the 1950s De Kooning changed the course of painting from an exercise in figurative representation to an active event, and a rebellious one at that. As written in "De Kooning: An American Master": "He did not mind aggressively celebrating the vulgar."
Still Life, 1945
The Rotterdam-born painter moved to the US in 1926 and soon landed in New York where he became a fixture of the Greenwich village art scene. The New York Times' obit described him as "a striking man, half Dutch sailor, half Charlie Chaplin in baggy trousers, with his thick Dutch accent, home-grown English patois (the artist Robert Rauschenberg called it ''his beautiful lingo''), clear blue eyes and shock of white hair."
De Kooning's works can be described as violent, frenzied, grotesque and orgiastic. Impossible to pin down in subject matter, influence and style, the artist was constantly caught between Europe and America, high art and low art, tradition and rebellion. His heroic brushstroke was likened to the voice of Walt Whitman, who praised his anthropomorphic self and his electric passion. ''I have to change to stay the same'' De Kooning would often tell people.
Park Rosenberg, 1957
Most famous for his controversial "Women" series, De Kooning's misogynist works blew up typically alluring female parts like lips, hips and breasts into monstrous proportions. Women were turned into terrifying forces of nature, creating a mixed message of love and hate that continues to puzzle still today. And yet, he was much more than his neuroses and fears, which is why we celebrate his work today.
Happy Birthday, Mr. De Kooning!

News › Month: May 2011
British producer and dj Paul Woolford hails from Leeds in England and was deeply influenced by attending Back to Basics, the legendary club promoted by the larger than life Dave Beer. Eventually he became a resident at the club and that's where Woolford honed his skills on the decks. He also started to tackle production, putting out tracks in 1999 with his friend, Tony Senghore. Move on twelve years and Woolford's name is synonymous with intense electronic workouts that leave dancefloors across the world devastated and drenched in sweat.
He tours the world constantly and has released his music on a host of the best labels in the house and techno world, such as Cocoon, Poker Flat, 20:20 Vision, Planet E, Junior Boy's Own and Subliminal. On top of this his remixes are also held in high regard, and artists like Gui Boratto, … Read more ›
Maceo Plex is another pseudonym for Eric Estornel, who is already well known as Maetrik, a name that he has been using to release music on Treibstoff, Sven Vath's Cocoon Recordings imprint, Morris Audio and Von Stroke's Mothership label, for the last ten years. Whereas Maetrik is devoted to spaced out techno, Maceo Plex is all about house, but house with a dark, funky edge. Estornel, a Cuban-American, is now based in Barcelona, Spain and has been extremely busy since he dropped his first release as Maetrik on Treibstoff in 2001, releasing somewhere in the region of 40 singles and two albums so far.
As Maceo Plex he has dropped one album, Life Index, which came out on Crosstown Rebels this year. He has also released two singles on the label, 2010's "Vibe Your Love," and "Your Style," from earlier this year. He will … Read more ›
That headline sounds like a description of being stuck in bed with the flu, but fear not brave PW blog readers that is not what it is about at all. It is about the British artist, Scratcha DVA, one of the most prolific UK dance music artists at the moment, who will be gracing an Icee Hot line-up on Sunday, May 29th that also features Anthony Shakir and Creep. Scratcha DVA, or just DVA, has been around for a while, getting his start in the early 2000s in the grime scene with the likes of Wiley. In the last few years, however, he has been a mainstay of what is now known as UK funky. This style of music, if you want to be technical, is a fusion of straight-up American-style house and 2-step garage with other bits thrown in there too, although Roska, one … Read more ›
Anthony Shakir, often known as 'Shake,' is a Detroit techno artist who you might not be as familiar with as the Belleville Three (Atkins, Saunderson and May) or Carl Craig, but his contribution to that city's distinctive techno sound is undeniable. Shakir also has the distinction of having been a bedroom producer for years before the first wave of Motor City techno hit the UK and mainland Europe with a colossal force.
His first solo track was "Sequence 10" as Shakir on the famous 1988 UK-pressed compilation, "Techno! The Dance Sound of Detroit." This was the collection that gave techno its genre name; Juan Atkins' track "Techno Music" was used by the compiler Neil Rushton (Northern Soul nut and head of cult British label, Kool Kat Music, later known as Network) to define this alien funk music from Detroit, and to … Read more ›
Martyn, the D.C. based, Dutch, bass music innovator will be rocking the Works' main floor tonight alongside Scuba. Like Scuba, this European producer has taken dubstep out of its recent teenage doom period and into a more forward-looking and varied direction. He also runs his own 3024 label, which has put out releases by 2562, Illum Sphere, Julio Bashmore and Addison Groove.
He kicked off his career in 2005 with excellent releases on respected dubstep/bass labels like Marcus Intalex's Revolve:r imprint and the Play:musik label. By 2007 he had four releases on Revolve:r and had established his 3024 label, which features iconic artwork by European artist, Erosie. By 2008 he was remixing fellow bassmonauts like Flying Lotus and 2562 and in 2010 achieved the distinction of being asked to mix Fabric's 50th release in their mix series. And it doesn't stop there, … Read more ›
Paul Rose, AKA Scuba and SCB, is pushing dubstep/UK garage in directions in which it really needs to go. Instead of it being a noise for angry, adolescent boys Scuba steers it toward textures and rhythms derived from techno, electronica/IDM and deep house. This is reflected in his own music and that of the music he releases on his Hotflush label, home to artists like Mount Kimbie (whose performance on our second night was sublime), Boxcutter, and SF's own Lando Kal.
This approach, to what the prolific English music writer Simon Reynolds calls "the hardcore continuum" (i.e. the strands of music that have evolved from hardcore breakbeat jungle), takes UK bass music into a post-dubstep phase, a place where the influence and importance of 2-step garage, techno and house are re-assessed, reformulated and put into play. In this musical context, fusion and progress … Read more ›
One of the aspects of modern dance music that leaves some people frustrated is how generic many dance music events are. At the Works we embrace the eclectic, whether it is in relation to music or the good folks that come through our door.
This month we have two amazing shows that highlight this passion for variety. On the 20th Public Works, in conjunction with As You Like It, brings us a stacked bill of extremely forward-looking electronic music in the shape of Berlin-based, British dubstep and techno producer and label owner, Scuba (he produces techno under the SCB monicker), and Dutch, Washington, DC-based dubstep producer, Martyn. Both of these men have pushed their chosen genre, away from its cliched, wobble realm, in the direction of a sleeker, more techno-oriented sound that also nods to UK garage and deep house. Also on the bill is Turkish-born and NY … Read more ›

Don Imus should have been fired years ago. He was a radio host whose sheer inarticulateness may have been even more shocking than his purposeful crudity; an alleged humorist who had said nothing memorable or funny since the dawn of the Clinton era if not earlier.
Anything on his show that was even remotely amusing invariably came from his guests or sidekicks; by the end of his run, Imus had become a pathetic echo chamber for those sitting next to him in the studio or checking in by phone. (Ironically, the very episode that caused his downfall began with a racial crack about the Rutgers women's basketball team by one of his longtime stooges, with the unoriginal Imus merely repeating the offending phrase and adding a couple of words of his own to help seal his own demise.)
That said, his firing at this time and for this reason served only to further elevate the image and reputation of two men who in a saner, more judicious media environment would be shunned as a couple of pernicious race hustlers. Unlike Imus, neither Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson can be fired, their precise means of livelihood one of life's more perplexing mysteries. But their influence would be a shell of what it is if the media hadn't been so accommodating of them throughout their public careers.
The latest example of that accommodation occurred, rather fortuitously, at the same time the Imus saga was playing itself out. The North Carolina attorney general dropped all charges against the white Duke lacrosse players whose names had been dragged through the mud for a year after they'd been accused of rape by a young black woman. Sharpton, and even more so Jackson, had made statements that were strongly supportive of the accuser and that appeared to presume guilt on the part of the accused.
There's not a journalist alive who believes Jackson or Sharpton would have evinced even a whit of interest in the case if the accuser and the accused had been of the same race, or that they would have lent moral support to the accuser had she been a white woman making a similar accusation against a group of black students. But mainstream journalists, with a couple of exceptions, once again gave the pair a free pass.
And how about a hand for the most craven performance by a network executive in recent memory? Leslie Moonves, come on down!
After waiting several days to ascertain which way the political and advertising winds were blowing, Moonves, president and CEO of CBS (Imus's program was carried nationally by CBS Radio) announced a two-week suspension for Imus – but within 48 hours, as more advertisers cut their ties with Imus and MSNBC canceled its simulcast of his show, decided to fire him outright.
Imus, Moonves righteously intoned, "has flourished in a culture that permits a certain level of objectionable expression that hurts and demeans a wide range of people. In taking him off the air, I believe we take an important and necessary step not just in solving a unique problem, but in changing that culture, which extends far beyond the walls of our Company."
Left unsaid was the five-year contract Imus had recently signed – Moonves's concern about "changing that culture" was apparently non-existent before advertisers began fleeing Imus en masse – as well as the not insignificant role played by CBS and parent company Viacom in the spread of the very culture Moonves would now have us believe he laments.
Getting back to Jackson, it seems the only concession the media ever make to his long history of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks is a seemingly obligatory mention of his 1984 "Hymietown" statement. Highlighting "Hymietown" and ignoring Jackson's other, considerably more incendiary words about Jews is yet one more way journalists treat Jackson with kid gloves.
Incendiary words such as "I am sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust"; "Zionism is a poisonous weed that is choking Judaism"; "One who does not think that Arafat is a true hero does not read the situation correctly"; "When it came to the division of power we did not get from the Jews the slice of cake we deserved … the Jews do not share with us control of wealth, broadcasting stations and other centers of power"; Democrats who support Israel do so because of "the Jewish element in the party…[it's] a kind of glorified form of bribery."
There's more, of course, but one can understand why reporters fearful of appearing too harsh on Jackson content themselves with a quick reference to the relatively innocuous "Hymietown" statement before beating a hasty retreat.

Featuring our By Erstwhile collection.
Golden Hoop
Do you have a platinum engagement ring with pave detail? Why not pair it with a 24k yellow gold band to add interest and warmth to your stack. Our Knife Edge engagement ring paired with the Golden Hoop is an unexpected combination that is simple, elegant, and timeless.
The warmth of the Golden Hoop also looks amazing alongside gold engagement rings. I may be a little biased (since this is the set I have), but I love our charming and simple One For You paired alongside the classic Golden Hoop (look above).
If you are looking to add more sparkle to your stack, consider an eternity band. Our Zephyr is a like a thread of diamonds, delicate and comfortable for everyday wear. It looks elegant worn on its own on your wedding finger and your engagement ring worn on your right hand or pair it with our Black Rose or One For You. Alongside engagement rings, the Zephyr adds a hint a sparkle without being too flashy. Or, wear two Zephyrs with our Till Death ring for an untraditional bridal stack.
Golden Quill
For those who want to add more texture, try a uniquely shaped band like our Golden Quill. This band is the perfect accompaniment to a simple solitaire, the diamond encrusted Quill, stacked alongside additional eternity bands, or next to a multi-stone ring like our Rule of Three.
Don't take jewelry too seriously! Your wedding band is a token of love and commitment, and should be representative of your personal style. There is no right or wrong way to commemorate an engagement or a marriage, so get what you love and do you!

The son of a war hero spoke of his pride after receiving his father's Arctic Convoy Medal last Friday.
"My father never lost a single ship throughout the entire war," explained Roger Willison of Hawsker.
Captain Alexander Willison served on the Empire Prowess for three years, leading convoys through the Arctic Circle to supply Russian Allies during the Second World War.
Roger, now 83, followed his father by becoming a merchant seaman himself. He was presented with the medal by Robert Goodwill MP, who had petitioned personally for the award to be made.
Mr Goodwill explained that he had actually visited the war graves of those who perished in the convoys, such as that at Murmansk. He said: "It was such a tough convoy to go in and there was such a high level of ships being lost that the Government recognised that a medal should be given.
"Obviously not many of the people are still with us, but as a way of remembering what our forebears have done, these medals become part of a family's history."
The Arctic Convoy medal was introduced last year to mark the bravery of those who took part in the four-year campaign, once described by Winston Churchill as "the worst journey in the world".

First off, we will be out of the office immediately following this post and will be returning Monday. Calls and emails will be returned at that time.
Now, do you remember the SNAPdragon bouquet we introduced last month? Well, we're bringing it up again because the bride, Julie, was so kind to share a couple of her professional photos with us! They are so beautiful - we LOVE them. Thank you Julie!
Now compare our measly photo of her bouquet...
...to the professional photographer's photos:
OH SNAP! We just can't even compete with that! It goes to show that a good details photographer is so important. This is the same exact bouquet, but it looks completely different when the professional is behind the camera. Girls, invest in a great photographer. We do so love it when you do.
Happy weekend! See you next week!
flowers used in bouquet: red alstromeria, white/red bi-color alstromeria, spray roses, tulips, snapdragons, hypericum berries

Hey Dad,
So I am typing in the car because we have to drive to Broomall (2 hours one way I might have to) soon to pick up the car that my last companion beat up. Didn't even get to do laundry so we'll have to use time tomorrow. Since I get carsick I'm not sure how long this will be.Anyway, so was Nathan's last game bad? Did you get footage of his good game or dunk contest that I can have?
Answers: my mailing address is 51 N 2nd st. apt 310 Stroudsburg, PA 18360. Transfer calls are on April 24 though so I'm not sure if I'll be here or not after the 27th. So you can send it to the mission home or wait until I know where I'll be.
With college, President has given me permission to look into that so you don't have to worry about it I already knew that registration was in June. I don't know if I'm going to be rooming with anyone in September from my mission as most of them are going in winter and/or are engaged and might be married by then. It might just be like the first time and see what roommates I get.This week was good we got 14 lessons (an area high) and got tracting time in (yayyy). We made a lot of progress though with a lot of people. We met with Freddy, Monica, and Adrian a few times and they are starting to progress as a family which is great to see because there have been some moments of contention there. Adrian told us that he wants to be baptized and his parents said that that's okay. I don't know if I told you last week but Monica (the wife) is a member! She was baptized at 15 in Ecuador and never went back. There is a youth temple trip May 2nd and Adrian really wants to go so we want to get him there with some names.
All of the lessons were in Spanish however but I was to feel the spirit in them. It's so interesting, I've never had a full conversation with these people, but I love them so much and I want them to get closer to their Father so bad. I'll miss this area whenever I leave. Well I am starting to feel sick, I'm sorry I know it's short. This will send whenever I get wifi. I love you Dad.Love,Elder BarkerPs can I have bishop coggins email as well as president aragons?

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
Last Sunday, I was at my cabin in Tahoe when I checked Twitter and saw that a two-alarm house fire was burning less than a block away from my apartment building in San Francisco. It quickly turned into a three-alarm fire with 111 firefighters on the scene.
Due to the fact that heavy winds helped spread an intense five-alarm fire in a neighborhood close to mine just the week before, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Rationally, I knew that the chances of the fire spreading all the way to my building were slim to none, but who's rational when shit's burning down all over the place?
Since I was almost 200 miles away, I did the only thing I could: Texted my big brother (who also lives in my building) and asked him if he would please go to my apartment and rescue Lamby in the instance that our building did start to go up in flames.
That's right. I wasn't worried about everything I owned getting burnt to a crisp; all I wanted was my stuffed lamb. Did I mention that I'm in my 30s?
Todd promised Lamby wouldn't end up as grilled lamb chops. (Frankly, he owed me for the time when I was four and he and his friends stole Lamby, locked me in my room, and then put Lamby in the oven. So what if the oven wasn't turned on? I WAS FOUR.)
So I went back to drinking and playing Apples to Apples for the eight millionth time that week.
For whatever reason, fire isn't one of those disasters that freaks me out. When I imagine my demise, it's much more likely to happen when I plummet down an elevator shaft after a cable breaks. Or trip in my kitchen and accidentally stab myself in the heart with the ridiculously huge knife I'm using to make cheese and crackers.
Or, most predictably: when my entire apartment building collapses during an earthquake. And yes, in that one, I'm bound to be showering when it hits and they're totally going to find my body all naked and disgusting in the rubble. I die. Literally, apparently.
Lest you think I'm a totally weirdo with my death obsession, I once posited to my therapist that everyone imagines her death 10-15 times a day. That the majority of people can't walk by a construction site without imagining a steal beam falling on their head or a bull dozer backing up over them.
Unfortunately, he disagreed, but whatever. Obviously he did that so that I'd think I needed to keep going to therapy.
When I drove back to San Francisco the day after the fire, though, and saw the charred remains of the houses and then read that the fire destroyed over $700,000 in belongings, not to mention the millions of dollars of structural damage, I was reminded that the pesky renters insurance I'd been meaning to get for the past five years? Yeah. Still hadn't bothered to pick up the phone and make that happen.
I've never forgotten to DVR "Gossip Girl" or pay for my 49ers season tickets on time, but when it comes to my actual well being? I mean, it's just so boring!
Keeping that in mind, I'm not going to lecture you on the value of renter's insurance (well, maybe just a little bit) and I know that it differs in each state. But for about $10-$30 month, you can get coverage that could be a huge money saver if you lose everything you own. (Most people just get it from the same company as their auto insurance.)
Imagine trying to furnish an entire apartment all at the same time. Not to mention rebuilding a wardrobe. Or replacing all of those electronics. And yes, all of the photos and letters will be gone, but that's why it's suggested you back up your computer files often and keep a copy of everything somewhere other than your house -- like the glove box of your car, for example. (Obviously I don't do this last one because I'm too lazy, but most of you seem far more responsible than I.)
There's also a Cloud where you can apparently store stuff other than Castles, heads, silver linings, and raindrops, but I'm not totally sure how that works, so you're on your own there.
So yes, I am now the proud recipient of renter's insurance. And while I know a disaster, accident or thief might take things that are irreplaceable, it's pretty reassuring to know that I won't have to go into debt to replace those things that aren't. And that ultimately, it's just stuff.
Plus, as long we have a roof over our heads, people who love us, and that gold ring my mom got in the 70s in Turkey (what?!), Lamby and I will be more than OK.
I was going to ask if you have homeowners or renters insurance, but ohmy god: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Instead, tell me:
If you could only grab one thing in a fire, what would it be?

Michigan State Homeboy: Why It's Impossible to Dislike Tom IzzoApril 6, 2009
The more and more I see the Michigan State Spartans play, the more and more I admire Tom Izzo and his hard work.
At the beginning of the tournament, if you had told me there would be a No. 2 seed from the left side of the bracket in the National Championship game, I would've been elated.
My head would have exploded with anticipation, because I would have thought that you were talking about the Memphis Tigers.
If you saw Michigan State playing in the National Championship game, raise your hand.
Outside of the "Sparty" contingent, I shouldn't be seeing many hands, because virtually no one was on the Michigan State bandwagon when the seeds were released. They were destined to play Louisville, the No. 1 overall seed, in Indianapolis. They were at a loss before they even stepped onto the court.
If you watched that game, you probably saw one of the best performances from a given team this decade out of Michigan State. They completely forced Louisville into Big Ten basketball. It was incredible.
And there they stood. The Michigan State Spartans, led by General Izzo, were in the Final Four and were pitted against the UConn Huskies and Hasheem Thabeet.
It was a daunting challenge. Nobody thought it possible for the undersized, less athletic Michigan State Spartans to knock off the long, explosive UConn Huskies, me included.
In retrospect, I feel like an idiot.
Michigan State played with passion. They played with sheer heart and determination. They played with a purpose. They won.
And it all started with Tom Izzo.
Rarely have I seen a coach so passionate and involved in his team the way Izzo is. The guy doesn't so much as take a breath when the game clock is ticking. He really is a class act.
CBS, as they occasionally do, flashed an unprecedented segment that displayed the team's roster. Nine—count them, NINE—players were from the state of Michigan. Since I don't follow Michigan State, as I'm stationed in Memphis, this stat shocked me.
That is INCREDIBLE!
What a feat for Tom Izzo. The guy has been nothing short of supremely successful at the helm for the Spartans, and wouldn't you know it, he does it with LOCAL talent!
This guy doesn't recruit nationally. He shies away from all of that. He gets his assets from his home state.
There may be another program in the country that follows the same suit, but I can guarantee you that they're nowhere near the level that Michigan State is. Five of the last 11 Final Fours have been crashed by Sparty and his hometown homies.
In a sport where loyalty is becoming a trait that's few and far between, this man shows nothing but loyalty.
If you listen to him when he speaks, you can tell.
His name may come up in the coaching carousel, but you'd be a fool to think this guy was leaving the Michigan State program.
And with the way these Spartans are playing, you'd be a fool to think these guys are leaving Detroit without cutting down the nets.

In high school, my prom date fooled around with another guy - on prom night!
I went to a high school that didn't have many people in it. There were, like, 60 people in my senior class. There was a group of cool kids and a group of really dorky kids, and I was probably the coolest of the really dorky kids.
I'm just glad that the whole John Wayne persona of a man is sort of old school now, because I'd never be able to do that. If that was the going rate today, I wouldn't be working.
I grew up babysitting and always enjoyed it. I love family. A couple of my closest friends have kids, and I'm their godfather, and that's one of my greatest pleasures in life, just picking them up from school and hanging out with them.
I would always be the kid that got in trouble in school, that's for sure, for joking around.
I never really thought of myself as a physical comedian. But when I was a kid, I used to, you know, pretend to trip over things to make girls laugh in school and stuff like that. So I kind of learned how to fall without hurting yourself.

Combine the water, honey, zests, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice berries in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, until cinnamon is unfurled and mixture is aromatic, about 10 minutes. Strain.
Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith off the grapefruits and oranges with a serrated knife. With a sharp paring knife, cut between the membranes, catching any juices in a bowl, to release segments. Add the juices to the honey-spice mixture. Put the fruit segments in a bowl.
Pour the hot liquid over the citrus, add the grenadine or vermouth and stir to combine. Serve the citrus compote with biscotti.

Hello all,
I am having a nightmare with my cloud box. It could not find the volume drive so I reset to factory settings and now it says no root device, can't create share. Does anyone have any idea what this mean and how I can fix it?
I am using a macbook pro where it does appear in the finder, it also shows up on a pc and on my router but the dashboard won't let me get any further.
Any help would be gratefully received

Writing about perfume history is an acre of land strewn with minefields. Little has survived into its original form and the industry has been ferociously shrouded in secrecy. Writing about those more elusive, less known aspects, such as perfumers' bases, is even harder because it involves talking about raw materials, and raw materials that are a manufactured composite rather than a single ingredient/molecule at that. Among the most famous bases is De Laire's "Mousse de Saxe".
Structure & History of Creation of "Mousse de Saxe"
The "Mousse de Saxe accord" is comprised of geranium, licorice (created with anise), isobutyl quinoline (leather notes), iodine and vanillin (synthesized vanilla). It was used since the turn of the 20th century and produced by the great aroma-producing firm of De Laire, a composite made by Marie Thérèse de Laire. Edgar de Laire's wife gave birth to the new branch of the factory dedicated to the production of aromatic compounds in 1895. Founded by chemist Georges de Laire (1836-1908), the de Laire firm quickly became a source of synthetic aroma chemicals and "perfumers' bases" (i.e. a ready-made accord of ingredients producing a specific effect, such as famously Prunol, Bouvardia, Ambré 83 and Mousse de Saxe), but also of finished fragrances such as de Laire's Cassis from 1889 or Miel Blanc.
Dark, earthy, mossy bases were in production even in the late years of the 19th century, long before oakmoss and tree moss would fall under the rationing of perfumery regulatory body IFRA, and besides Mousse de Saxe there was also Mousse de Crête (Creatan moss) and Mousse de Chypre (Cypriot moss). The geographical names might hint at some inspiration coming from a material found in Prussia (most of the perfumery mosses traditionally came from the Balkans), much like the dark blue hue in painting is called Bleu de Prusse (Prussian blue) from the military uniforms of the men of the -then independent- Prussia, a counry sharing lands amongst modern day Germany and Poland (The dye was produced in the eighteenth century via sulfuric acid/indigo).
Odour Profile
Mousse de Saxe is a complex creation: It has a dark, sweetish, mossy-woody powdery aspect (indeed chypré) with green, fresh, bracing accents and a musk and leather background of "animalic" character, which is very characteristic once you experience it. De Laire probably infused it with its own revolutionary ionone molecule (which entered in Violetta by Roger & Gallet). The bracing, "cutting" freshness is due to the quinolines (bitter green leathery with a hint of styrax), as De Laire was among the first to produce these novel ingredients.
This base must have been a novel approach in the years of its creation and one can only imagine how perfumers of the time had received it, since perfume formulae have remained a well-kept secret for so long. That reception must have been overwhelmingly positive nevertheless, because of its influence in perfumery in later years.
Fragrances in Which Mousse de Saxe is Perceived
The Mousse de Saxe base is most prominent in Caron's classic Nuit de Noel (1922) but it's used in many Carons; especially the older ones composed by founder Ernest Daltroff. This accord is what gives many of the older Carons their dark undercurrent.
A similar effect is reproduced in perfumes from other brands; notably acclaimed perfumer Guy Robert admits as much as using the backbone of it in his creation for Rochas, Madame Rochas and in Calèche for Hermès.
Other perfumes which present a similar background note are Habanita by Molinard (which also used the Mouse de Saxe base), or the directly influenced base notes of Bois des Iles, Chanel No.19, Grès Cabochard, Shocking by Schiaparelli and YSL classic Opium.
Recently the term "Mousse de Saxe" has lapsed into the public domain and now belongs to Parfumerie Générale and its perfumer Pierre Guillaume who used it in his Papyrus de Ciane press material to describe the base notes used for his modern green, mossy fragrance. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is also doing an homage to Mousse de Saxe in her Pandora perfume.
Mousse de saxe is discussed in Michael Edward's book Perfume Legends: French Feminine Fragrances.

Seeing through walls at the nanoscale: Microwave microscopy of enclosed objects and processes in liquids
Here, noninvasive in situ nanoscale imaging in liquid environments is a current imperative in the analysis of delicate biomedical objects and electrochemical processes at reactive liquid–solid interfaces. Microwaves of a few gigahertz frequencies offer photons with energies of ≈10 μeV, which can affect neither electronic states nor chemical bonds in condensed matter. Here, we describe an implementation of scanning near-field microwave microscopy for imaging in liquids using ultrathin molecular impermeable membranes separating scanning probes from samples enclosed in environmental cells. We imaged a model electroplating reaction as well as individual live cells. Through a side-by-side comparison of the microwave imaging with scanning electron microscopy, we demonstrate the advantage of microwaves for artifact-free imaging.

Every acupuncturist and every health care provider, for that matter, knows it is wrong to have a romantic or sexual relationship with their patients or clients. Our ethics training is clear on this point, and the reasons for this barrier should be obvious to everyone.However, there are many other kinds of boundary dilemmas that occur in our relationships with patients. These dilemmas can roughly be placed on a continuum of "dangerousness to patients," which has been called the slippery slope by some authors.
The Imbalance of Power
In our relationships with patients, we are always an authority figure. We hold the power in the relationship, no matter what we say to ourselves about it. Our patients see us as a person who will hopefully help them, and we have information they do not have. We are seen as holding mysterious abilities that are out of range of what is accessible to the average consumer on their own. Often our patients are desperately ill and have been failed by the health care system many times before; therefore, they place a great deal of expectation on us.
Oftentimes, we have much more education than they do, and because we take money for our service, we are acknowledged as the more powerful one in the relationship. In addition, because we usually use needles to treat clients, we are inherently threatening and thus powerful. Even if patients are not afraid of needles, our treatment is invasive and therefore threatening at a very primal level. Patients make themselves vulnerable to us in many ways: by revealing private health concerns, answering questions about personal things like bowel habits, showing their tongues, lying on a table, disrobing (at least to some degree) and having something done to them - namely, having their bodies pierced or potentially burned or shocked.
Relationship Models
As acupuncturists, we have a different style of relationship with our patients than a medical doctor or a chiropractor would with their patients because we tend to spend more time with the patient at a session. We may be with the patient anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or more. Obviously, educating, performing moxibustion, setting up electrical stimulators, using auriculotherapy instruments or lasers, or doing bleeding, cupping and massage all take longer than simple needling. This gives more opportunity for building a relationship with the patient through talking and sharing. It also provides more opportunities to get into ethical trouble.
As acupuncturists, we may have a more open relationship with our patient than a psychotherapist, in which every remark made by the clinician and patient is given careful consideration. The psychotherapist, in the most conservative boundary model (such as psychoanalysis), never divulges any personal information. In a more open-boundary model, they may share bits of personal information to build rapport and socially connect with the patient, or to give an example from their own life that might be useful to the patient in understanding their own challenges.
The therapist must evaluate things such as the ego strength of the patient or the type of transference involved, and attempt to predict the outcome of sharing bits of personal material. In this scenario, an unacceptable boundary violation in the more conservative model may be considered an acceptable, if not positive, boundary crossing in the more open model.
Our relationship with our patients might be more similar to a massage therapist's relationship with a client, in which some dialogue often occurs between therapist and client during a session. There are some acupuncturists who tend to speak very little or not at all during sessions. There are those who only speak to ask questions or educate the patient. Of course, there are those who do not speak the same language as the patient, so chatting is minimal. Then there are those who may have a more social type of relationship with the patient. Some sort of discussion may go on during the placement of needles or while doing other treatments within the session. These conversations may span a great variety of topics, from health concerns and Asian medicine to the personal life and issues of the patient, or even perhaps to the personal life of the acupuncturist.
Additionally, over the course of years and years of treating the same patient, we tend to develop a significant relationship with them, which might develop in many different ways. It might even develop into a friendship. But it is not exactly a friendship like those we have with people who are not our patients. It is still characterized by some of the power dynamics I noted earlier.
I wish to encourage examination of our communication and relationship with patients by giving some scenarios that likely occur during many acupuncture treatments. I believe these types of interaction may lead to ethical challenges that can be a slippery slope if not carefully considered. When relationships with patients become friendships, they have become dual relationships, and this presents special challenges for us. In the scenarios below, the acupuncturist crosses the boundary and shares personally with the patient to varying degrees.
Scenario 1: At a second session of acupuncture, while needles are being placed, a new patient asks if you get acupuncture treatment yourself. Your immediate response is probably to say yes if you do so. You have quickly surmised that your answer may help the new patient understand your profession and your standards of self-care. This boundary crossing has been made with quick consideration of the risks and benefits to the patient. You have not revealed information with which you were uncomfortable. Your patient is probably pleased with your answer. This question may lead to another regarding whom you see for treatment. Another judgment is quickly made, and so on. You might then choose to talk about some of the different approaches to acupuncture among the practitioners you know, as a way of diverting attention from your own health process to an education about acupuncture. You have managed the interaction to share personal information in a way that ultimately has an educational benefit to the patient without going past your area of comfort with personal sharing.
Scenario 2: The patient may ask if you were drawn to the profession because it helped improve your own health. Of course, they will be wondering what your health problems are and possibly whether they bear any similarity to their own. In this case, you might feel a little more uncomfortable with the inquiry, and you must then take a moment to consider the benefit to the patient versus the risk to them of knowing more about your personal health history. You will make a judgment call about the patient's mental health, the way in which they might use your information, your own comfort with self-disclosure and the potential for harm to the patient from such disclosure.
If you choose to share your personal health history, you will make a consideration about how much information to share. You will be aware that by revealing personal health information, you place yourself more on the same level as the patient, giving up some of your power. They will see you less as an authority figure and more as a normal person with health challenges. You also may have health issues you do not care to have people know about, and this also will color your choice of answer. Many quick assessments will happen as you move toward answering your patient.
In my next article, I'll present a few more tricky scenarios and review the work of Richard Martinez, MD, a forensic psychiatrist who has written extensively on assessing the slippery slope of boundary crossings for health care professionals.

Rapper Jay Z is selling his stake in basketball team Brooklyn Nets to coach Jason Kidd.
The 99 Problems hitmaker, who was introduced to the team in 2003, will be signing off his 0.67 per cent ownership to Kidd for around $500,000 , according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.
The star, real name Shawn Carter, has been forced to sell his stake over a conflict of interest after he formed his own sports agency, Roc Nation Sport, earlier this year (13).
A source says, "Other owners want to give Jason a part ownership of the team, and urged Jay to sell his shares to him."

"Before Martin County PPEC, my life consisted of alarms, giving Catherine medicine, checking her heart rate and more," said LeAnna. "Alarms became a way of life. You don't realize the toll it takes being a full-time caregiver.
Stuart, FL (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
All expectant parents hope for their child to be born healthy and happy. Fortunately, most are. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in every 33 babies born in the US will have some sort of birth defect - meaning that these new mothers and fathers must adapt not only to the challenge of becoming a new parent, but also to the challenge of becoming their fragile child's medical caretaker. Now the parents of these exceptional children have a new partner on the Treasure Coast to help share this responsibility and provide the best possible care available.
Martin County Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) opened its doors in early 2012 at 310 SW Ocean Blvd in downtown Stuart, FL as a medical day care center for special needs children, from newborn to 20 years of age, with complex and fragile medical, developmental, and technology dependent needs serving Martin and St. Lucie Counties. For the Cothran family, Martin County PPEC was a lifeline in their time of need.
"When Catherine was born, there were no resources in Martin County to help families like ours," said LeAnna Cothran, mother of Catherine, a child born with complex and fragile medical needs. "We looked into home health agencies and some other potential options, but there was nothing that Medicaid or our private insurance would cover. There were some resources that could maybe help one time, but then you're on your own. We found one door shut after another."
LeAnna and her husband Tony learned at 26 weeks in utero that their daughter Catherine had a tumor in her heart. This was just the beginning of an expectant parent's worst nightmare as Catherine was diagnosed with conditions known as Superventricular Tachycardia (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Together, these conditions cause Catherine's heart to palpitate beating as fast as 290 BPM and has led to congestive heart failure. Her treatment requires close coordination with medical professionals as much of it is experimental or trial and error.
After several months of coping with Catherine's condition in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at St. Mary's Hospital, a social worker shared the news with the Cothran's that Martin County PPEC was opening in Stuart. They immediately contacted Martin County PPEC and on its second day of business Catherine attended her first day of medical day care.
"Before Martin County PPEC, my life consisted of alarms, giving Catherine medicine, checking her heart rate and more," said LeAnna. "Alarms became a way of life. You don't realize the toll it takes being a full-time caregiver. Martin County PPEC gives me peace of mind to know that I can work and that Catherine's every need is being met. That break away from her gives us time to breathe and regroup to figure out how we will work it all out."
Martin County PPEC is state licensed and regulated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. The 30-bed facility is operated by a team of experienced pediatric nurses expertly trained in the care of infants and children with special medical needs. The medical day care center offers parents and guardians peace of mind Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Martin County PPEC is fully equipped and staffed to accommodate children with medical conditions ranging from simple to severe, including respiratory problems, severe burns, cerebral palsy, post-transplants, tracheostomy care, oxygen administration, tube feeding, frequent medication administration, IV Administration, apnea monitoring, prematurity complications, congenital heart defects, lung defects and other congenital disorders, diabetes, failure to thrive, neurological disorders, colostomy, seizures, orthopedic conditions, plus much more.
In addition to medical intervention and attention, Martin County PPEC offers Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Developmental Planning and Interventions, Respiratory Therapy, Parent Support and Education, and Transportation, if qualified. Therapeutic toy filled rooms, onsite playgrounds, daily art, music, recreational programs, and field trips are part of the Martin County PPEC experience.
Parents and guardians can contact Martin County PPEC directly to refer their children to the pediatric program. Martin County PPEC will then contact the child's physician in order to obtain a prescription and coordinate the child's care. Physicians, case managers and social workers may also contact Martin County PPEC to refer children to the program.
For those children who qualify, transportation to and from Martin County PPEC will be provided in a safe and comfortable environment. Martin County PPEC also works together with school districts to coordinate education schedules.
Martin County PPEC Administrator Evelyn Duah said, "We understand the challenges that face the parents of medically fragile children. These parents are no longer alone. Martin County PPEC is here to help provide the highest quality care to medically fragile children while allowing parents the opportunity to return to work, school or just to take a rest from the demands of pediatric medical care."

Read the latest L.A. Weekly news story about the West Hollywood City Council race: "West Hollywood Incumbents Dig In."
After raising around $105,000 for his campaign, City Council candidate John D'Amico realizes he's not exactly the kind of scrappy, cash-poor challenger that West Hollywood voters have seen in the past.
"I'm not an anti-mainstream candidate," he tells L.A. Weekly, and jokes, "I'm wearing a tie and khakis."
But that doesn't mean he's looking to repeat the same policies of longtime incumbents John Heilman and Abbe Land and appointed council member Lindsey Horvath, all of whom are running to remain on the West Hollywood City Council.
"Politics can be used for good," says D'Amico, who describes Heilman and Land's brand of urban planning for WeHo as "radical suburbanization." "And if people aren't using it for good anymore, then there needs to be change."
D'Amico, a former West Hollywood planning commissioner and the principal project manager for the UCLA Orthopedic Replacement Hospital, believes that change needs to happen on Election Day, March 8, when three West Hollywood City Council seats are up for grabs.
D'Amico and five other challengers are hoping to unseat Heilman, Land, and Horvath. The former planning commissioner says City Hall desperately needs new ideas.
"The city doesn't have a plan for welcoming young people," says D'Amico. "They don't have a plan for the future."
D'Amico, who's lived in WeHo for over 20 years and legally married his husband, Keith Rand, before Proposition 8 banned same-sex marriage, says the City Council must drop a kind of patronizing attitude toward West Hollywood residents.
"It's really time for the city to listen to the adults and act accordingly," says D'Amico, who promises to actively include citizens in the City Council's decision making process.
The candidate says the City Council must also be more transparent in the way it does business and make smarter choices in approving development project -- things, in his opinion, incumbents Land, Heilman, and Horvath have not been doing.
D'Amico has been hitting the campaign trail every chance he gets, knocking on doors and introducing himself to voters. In a city where incumbents almost never lose, the challenger thinks this year will be different.

"I don't think there's any enthusiasm for the incumbents," says D'Amico. "But there is a lot of interest in this election."
NOTE: During the reporting for the L.A. Weekly cover story "Dethroning West Hollywood's Martinets," we spent many hours with WeHo's City Council candidates -- except for incumbents John Heilman, Abbe Land, and Lindsey Horvath, who refused to be interviewed in person or over the phone.
This week, we are using previously unpublished material for a series of posts on each of the six challengers the Weekly met and talked with.

Monthly or annual notification?
As an employer, you report your employees' earnings to the pension insurance company. The notifications can be made monthly or annually. Earnings data is required for the calculation of insurance contributions and pensions.
If you opt for monthly notification, your contributions are based on actual payroll figures and are therefore always up-to-date. You report the payroll information to us electronically no later than the 20th day of the month following the payment of salaries or wages. In months where no salaries or wages are paid at all, no notification is required.
If you choose annual notification, your contributions are based on a provisional payroll, i.e. an estimate. If necessary, you can change the estimated amount during the year and choose the due months that best suit you. You must report the actual payroll information at least once a year, before the end of January.
Your chosen notification method is in force for the full calendar year. If you wish to change your method of notification, please call us at 010 192 102 by the end of November to settle the matter.
Find out which would suit you better – monthly or annual notification.

Get Smartt: SMMC Healthy Woman
Lisa Smartt has a message for you: You're not perfect, you'll probably never be perfect and you might as well accept the fact. Oh, and the person next to you? Not perfect either. So both of you can do yourselves a big favor by laughing at the absurdity of it all. Smartt, the self-described "Queen of Imperfection," will keynote Scenic Mountain Medical Center's Healthy Woman second anniversary celebration Thursday at Dora Roberts Community Center. The "Wild About Healthy Woman" gala will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a health expo featuring a wide variety of vendors offering products and services, with a gourmet meal following at 6:30 p.m., said Kim Howell, Healthy Woman co-coordinator. Highlighting the festivities will be Smartt, a comedienne and author of a weekly humor column whose presentation will be entitled, "Help for Women Who Can't Find Their Keys." The talk, Smartt said, is aimed at women (and she includes herself in this group) who tend to obsess too much over their imperfections. "Absolutely they do," she said. "And they compare themselves to other people without understanding anything about those people. They think others are perfect, but they don't understand that everyone has issues." Those issues could be weight, as it has been with Smartt. "I've had auctioneer weight my whole life," she said. "It's been 'up 45, down 45, up 25, do I hear 25?' for me. The good thing is that I never smoked a day in my life. I was too busy eating." For more information on Healthy Woman or Thursday's celebration, contact Howell at 268-4842 or Anita Cline at 268-4721.

Algebraic Expressions and the Real-World
Lesson 5 of 12
Objective: SWBAT write simple algebraic expressions that represent real-world problems
Big Idea: Expressions can be used to represent a mathematical or real-world problem in an abstract way using numbers and symbols to make meaning of and understand problems.
Think About It
Students work in pairs on the Think About It problem.
After 3 minutes of work time, I ask students if they can write the same expression for each scenario. I want students to articulate that they can't be the same expression. James has more money than Martha so his expression has to show that he has more money than her, but Martha's expression has to show that she has less money than him. I then have students share out the expressions they've written for each scenario.
In this lesson, students will write expressions when given a real-world problem and write real-world problems when given an expression.
Resources (1)
Intro to New Material
Throughout the Intro to New Material section (and the entire lesson), students will follow the following steps. I'll keep these steps up on the document camera as a Visual Anchor throughout the lesson. My plan is to guide students through the examples in this section.
Steps for Writing Simple Expressions
- Read and annotate.
- Use a variable to represent unknowns and digits/operations for different values.
- Define the expression.
- Identify what amount you are starting with.
- Determine if any terms or operations are grouped (parentheses).
- Determine if there is any multiplication or division performed on the starting amount. Translate.
- Determine if there is any addition or subtraction. Translate.
- Check by restating and comparing to the written expression.

Resources (2)
Partner Practice
Students work in pairs on the Partner Practice problem set. As students work, I circulate around the room and check in with every group. I am looking for:
- Are scholars correctly identifying the variable?
- Are scholars correctly identifying the constant?
- Are scholars correctly translating the verbal expression into an algebraic expression?
- Are students writing verbal expressions that represent an expression?
I am asking:
- How did you know what the variable was?
- How did you know what the constant was?
- What did you start with?
- What does the expression mean?
- Was there any multiplication/division?
- Was there any addition/subtraction?
- Will the expression have the same answer if you changed the order of the terms?
- How did you know what operation to use?
- What does the constant, coefficient and the variable represent in the context of the problem?
After 10 minutes of partner work time, I have 3 students share out their responses for Problem E. The class evaluates whether the scenarios shared match up with the expression 15 + m. Students then complete the Check for Understanding problem independently. I circulate and check student responses as they work.
Resources (1)
Independent Practice
Students work on the Independent Practice problem set. As I circulate, I have with me an answer key for the first 12 problems, so that I can quickly scan students' answers and check for misunderstandings.
As students are working on Problem 13, I am making sure that they are writing single variable expressions, and not equations with two variables (for example, the marbles Cheney has can be represented as 12 + r, rather than c = 12 + r)
Resources (1)
Closing and Exit Ticket
After independent work time, I have students share with their partners the scenarios they've written for Problems 14-19. This gives them the opportunity to receive feedback on their work, ask clarifying questions, and hear alternate responses for the problems.
Students then independently work on the Exit Ticket to close the lesson.

Little Minions: Nastri
Nastri knows his destiny as a demon. All his friends are demons. His relatives are demons. Even his pet dog is demonic.
He's just a little unsure about acting like one.
Nastri is ready to fulfill his role in this known universe and the dark realms in-between. He has mastered a booming laugh, can conjure nightmares, melt faces just by imagining it, and yet...yet...
"I'm just a little insecure about it all. Part of it is not sleeping well, I know, but I'm kept up by all the expectations placed upon me. And I'm scared when I'm in the moment, I won't make the right decision. I mean, how do you know when you should make the walls bleed or if it's better to just jump in with a full possession? People keep saying 'you'll feel it' or 'you just know' but when you're starting out, you don't know. It's all very intimidating."

Many people find the holidays a delightful, upbeat time of year. But for others, the holidays— that time between Thanksgiving and New Year's– can be a lonely, stressful time of year.
Feelings of sadness, low energy and wistfulness can be hard to cope with, particularly if you've lost a family member or friend at this time of year. Or feelings of loneliness may be present if some of your family members will be away and won't make it home for the holidays this year.
If you are feeling empty or sad during the holidays while everyone around you seems to be having fun, you can make practical changes that allow you to feel less stressed and more relaxed.
First, it is important to recognize stressors that may lead to feeling blue and overstressed. Try to work on reducing these stressors throughout the year so the holidays will be more joyful.
Next, recognize that you can choose a new way of thinking that reduces holiday stress and sadness.
Keep in mind that unrealistic perceptions and expectations are part of every holiday season. Some people feel so stressed and anxious at this time of year they want to be left alone. But you can work on having a new attitude of looking forward to joining in the festivities of the season.
Managing daily stress
If you have battled anxiety, stress and low energy during the holidays, you are probably looking for a respite from a variety of stressors that can make life miserable.
Think of stress this way. Stress is crucial if you are in a crisis. Stress is a natural and important biological "fight or flight" response. The body is designed for short bursts of activity, but the ongoing nature of daily stress often means that the system is left 'on' to respond.
Seven tips to make your holidays more meaningful
Use these tips to make this holiday season the best it can be –a season of less stress and more meaning for you and your family.
- Take care of yourself by eating right. People tend to skip meals, eat on the run, and eat more sugar during the holidays. Manage stress by managing your health.
- Give yourself permission to feel a mix of emotions during the holidays. Most people feel an ebb and flow of emotions throughout the year but often more so during holidays because it is a season that evokes memories of the past.
- It is okay to spend time taking care of yourself. When you do, you'll be more apt to relax and enjoy the season. People have different levels of needs so pay attention to your own unique circumstances.
- Give yourself permission to have more control in your life. You don't have to say 'yes' to every holiday invitation or request.
- Time management is very important for reducing stress. For example, let some of your children or grandchildren prepare holiday meals, bake cookies or help decorate the house.
- Share responsibilities. Ask for help. Delegate holiday tasks so you're not overstressed with deadlines.
- Don't have unrealistic expectations about what you can and can't do during the holidays. Give yourself credit for what you can do and recognize you're not super human. When you do, you'll have a more enjoyable holiday season.
