"Underlying her friendly, enjoyable critique of certain phrases parents use reflexively—the kind that lead us to wonder 'How did my mother get in my larynx?'—Lehr offers A SUBSTANTIVE AND SUBVERSIVE MESSAGE OF RESPECT FOR KIDS. The chapter about time-outs is worth the price of the book by itself, but I highly recommend you read the whole thing."
— Alfie Kohn, author of Unconditional Parenting and The Myth of the Spoiled Child
"I'm obsessed with this BRILLIANT GEM OF A BOOK. I'm sharing it with my spouse, in-laws, extended family and babysitters as a way to start discussions about when to ask for hugs, whether 'please' and 'thank you' are always necessary, and that awful thing that constantly comes out of my mouth--'be careful!' What I love about Jennifer is that she deals out the most incisive, specific, modern advice but then shares honest, authentic, and even awful true stories about her own mistakes. IT'S LIKE GETTING ON THE PHONE WITH THE BEST EXPERT AND YOUR BEST FRIEND ALL AT ONCE."
—Jill Soloway, creator of Transparent
"Parentspeak is the antidote to all those words all those words we find ourselves to our children automatically, because everyone else says them: 'Good job!'... 'Say you're sorry.'...'Don't cry. You're okay.'...'Where's my kiss?' Lehr holds these and other thoughtless responses up to the light where we suddenly see through them. I love Lehr's clarity, her respect for children, and her ability to make it fun for readers as they have their worldview dismantled and renovated. Important for all parents; I will be recommending it to everyone."
—Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting
"FUNNY, RELATABLE AND PACKED WITH WISDOM, Parentspeak encourages parents to proceed with compassion and meet kids where they are: in the thick of childhood. LEHR HAS A PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LANGUAGE IMPACTS CHILDREN and provides strategies to help parents do what they often ask of their own kids...to choose your words carefully."
—Katie Hurley, LCSW, author of The Happy Kid Handbook
"I love ParentSpeak: What's Wrong with How We Talk to Our Children — And What to Say Instead for many reasons, but the two that stand out are: it's readable – you can pick it up and easily jump in anywhere – and the insights about how we speak to our children are both obvious and profound. I tend to be drawn to ideas that have an everydayness aspect to them, and Jennifer delivers."
— Paul Axtell, author of Ten Powerful things to Say to Your Kids
"SMART, AUDACIOUS, AND OFTEN HILARIOUS. Takes everything you thought you knew about parenting and turns it on its ear."
—Jennifer Jason Leigh, actress, LBJ
"If the phrase "Good job, buddy!" has ever made you cringe and you're not sure why (except that you just heard it 6,873 times on the playground, including 146 times coming from your own mouth), this book is for you. Jennifer Lehr's serious, skeptical look at why we sound so patronizing, controlling, and fake nice when we talk to our kids may change not only the way you talk to yours, but even the way you bring them up. Language is power, and THIS POWERFUL BOOK BLOWS MY MIND—A FASCINATING READ."
—Lenore Skenazy, founder of the book, blog, and movement Free-Range Kids
"Children, even the youngest ones, are not dolls or pets; they are human beings, more intelligent than most adults realize. In this often WITTY, ALWAYS HIGHLY ENGAGING book, Jennifer Lehr helps us think about how to talk to and with these small humans. I recommend it for all new parents, and also for aunts, uncles, grandparents, early educators, and anyone else who interacts with young children.
—Peter Gray, author of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our
Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life
"Beautifully bold. This book bucks convention so well you'll wonder why you never questioned these platitudes before. JENNIFER LEHR DEEPLY UNDERSTANDS KIDS AND HER BOOK IS A LIFESAVER. Get ready to shake up your brain, ditch old habits and discover what the parent-child relationship can really be."
—Heather Shumaker, author of It's OK Not to Share and It's OK to Go Up the Slide
"Wow. I HAD MORE EUREKA! MOMENTS IN THE FIRST 15 PAGES OF THIS BOOK THAN I HAVE HAD IN MOST OF MY 9 YEARS OF PARENTING. This book is my now forever shower gift. Thanks to the painstaking research and consideration of Jennifer Lehr, I now can understand why so many of my well-intentioned impulses have not always provided the calm, confident, loving outcomes I dream of.... It is never too late to examine or change the way we talk to and with our children. Words fly out so fast as a parent and this book gives us a second to step back and hear what we are actually saying. Bravo. "
— Kathryn Hahn, actress, Bad Moms
"Language matters. It shapes our perceptions and influences how our children view themselves and their world. As such, Parentspeak is an important book in our time. With humor and grace, Lehr brings to light the issues with our common parental language and offers practical solutions. WELL-RESEARCHED AND INSIGHTFUL, PARENTSPEAK WILL CHALLENGE YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. READ IT AND GROW.
— Rebecca Eanes, author of Positive Parenting: An Essential Guide
"With humor and clear examples from her own and others' experiences, she unravels messages that parents might not intend to give their children but unknowingly are. The book will make parents rethink how they interact and the language the use."
—Tova Klein, author of How Toddlers Thrive
"Finally someone who says what we shouldn't say to our children—and more importantly, why. If we want our children to follow their hearts, be resilient and, and find their potential, then we must stop trying to lead and manipulate their way. Lehr shows us how we can derail their paths to success—and how to get back on track."
—Bonnie Harris, MSEd, author of When Your Kids Push Your Buttons and What You Can Do
About It
"A THOUGHT-PROVOKING read that will prompt parents of all stripes to consider what they're saying when they talk to their kids."
"If a child isn't responding to a reasonable request, then their behavior must be meeting a more pressing need." She asks parents to give their child's behavior the time and respect it deserves and then ask: what is that need? It is a PROFOUND MESSAGE….Lehr has synthesized massive amounts of parenting information and tested it on daughter Jules and son Hudson…the book contains enough GEMS AND GOOD REMINDERS to make it a worthwhile read."

Although the August vacation is speedily coming to an end, 330 primary and secondary school children from Marac, Moruga were all smiles when West Indies/national cricketer and Atlantic Sports...
You are here
What to read in 2016
Last year, 2015, was an outstanding year for Caribbean reading. If you were in attendance at the NGC Bocas Lit Fest, odds are you've got a generous stack of select titles from the festival, still awaiting complete absorption. This year is shaping up to be no less remarkable, with new releases from fiction and poetry favourites, as well as the promising debuts of writers worth watching.
At Sunday Arts, I'm especially looking forward to writing that's innovative, pushing against the barriers of misconceptions, stereotypes, and complacencies: these titles render both the Caribbean and the world beyond it in astonishingly keen-eyed vision. They are evidence of the massive groundswell in Caribbean book publication. Here's a quartet of forthcoming selections that you'll want to ink into next year's bookish calendar:
Measures of Expatriation
by Vahni Capildeo (Carcanet Press)
Expected Publication: January 2016
If you think you know where you're headed in Trinidadian Vahni Capildeo's poems, guess again: these verses are strewn with engagements in curiosity, splendour and arcane portents, residing in even the most seemingly domestic minutiae. Nothing can be taken for granted, the poet shows us, and in her newest collection, Measures of Expatriation, she is poised to unveil the world we take for granted, presenting a reality that is at once ours, and even sharper in its truths than that which we inhabit.
Contemplating home, exile, and the navel-string connectivity we feel to places we designate as ours by birth or affection, these poems won The Poetry Society's Spring 2016 Book Award. This honour pre-shortlists the collection for the 2016 TS Eliot Prize, awarded to the best collection of verse published in the UK and Ireland. I'll be busily rooting for Vahni, while buried deep in her newest offering.
The Repenters
by Kevin Jared Hosein
(Peepal Tree Press)
Expected Publication: July 2016
Trinidadian Kevin Hosein's The Repenters is an ambitious arrival on the regional literary scene: it's the first full-length novel from the winner of this year's regional arm of the Commonwealth Short Story prize. Earning that accolade confers serious promise and potential: Hosein's debut novel is as unconventionally-told and framed as his Commonwealth winner, The King of Settlement 4.
With one collection of short fiction for young readers, Littletown Secrets, tucked beneath his belt, the author's literary career seems poised on the threshold of a significant breakthrough. This novel portrays the swift dissolution of childhood innocence, told by an unorthodox narrator with more than his fair share of cryptic concealments: it may well deepen Hosein's triumphant advent.
Riding Boundaries
by Colin Robinson
(Peepal Tree Press)
Expected Publication: June 2016
Perhaps Peepal Tree's most exciting poetry selection in its announced line-up of 2016 books thus far, Robinson's first collection announces a necessary Trinidadian voice in verse, by turns audacious, whimsical and reflective. In poems that think hard and unstintingly on what it means to present, and represent, masculine sexualities in the Caribbean, desire is a cornerstone of Riding Boundaries, but it's not the only citadel of concerns from which Robinson hoists his flags.
Anyone who's not familiar with the poet's work would do well to read his selection in Coming Up Hot: Eight New Poets from the Caribbean. His work within that 2015 anthology is heralded by Peepal Tree's associate poetry editor, Kwame Dawes, as "a quiet unearthing of the complications of affection and love." This is what I have returned to repeatedly in Robinson's poems: a steadfastness of interrogation, and an utter lack of complacent verse—and it is to these things that I most look forward in Riding Boundaries.
On the radar
Other 2016 Caribbean titles on the Sunday Arts Section's radar include:
• Augustown, by Kei Miller
• The Colour of Shadows, by Judy Raymond
• Madwoman, by Shara McCallum
• House of Lords and Commons, by Ishion Hutchinson
• In the Eye of the Storm: Edgar Mittelholzer 1909–2009: Critical Perspectives, by Juanita Cox
• Kingston Buttercup, by Ann-Margaret Lim
• Strange Fruit, by Kamau Brathwaite

Roadmap For Tonight's Debate
By Dick Morris
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | There is a temptation to get lost in the weeds of when Obama recognized that the Libya attack was, indeed, an act of terror. But the key point is that Obama treated the video as a provocation for the attack as if they had a moral equivalency. Otherwise, why constantly mention the video in the same breath as the attack? Why run an ad apologizing for the video in Pakistan? Why address the video in his U.N. speech? It may be a bridge too far to convince people that Obama was engaged in a cover-up for political purposes trying to convince people there was no premeditated terror attack. But surely there is no good reason for lumping the attack and video together. It's like saying "he murdered this guy but only after the guy called him a dirty word."
But, beyond the specifics of Libya, a 2011 national survey by Pat Caddell and John McLaughlin provides the key lines of attack Romney should follow in the foreign policy debate coming up on Monday.
These are the milestones to a successful debate.

The new leased facility will support the Company's expanding pan-European footprint and will be located in the Corvin Promenade, in the heart of Budapest.

Who knows how it will turn out? I go from positivity to negativity quicker than a magnet and I really couldn't read the mood. Today our barrister seemed to make some good points and the other lot droned on and on with very little variation. If I had been the inspector I would have awarded us the win due to total boredom! However, in this system that's not how it works. It was hard to see what does work to be honest because interventions were prohibited in the main and it was all very legal-speak. Common sense and plain truths were not the order of the day and it made me think that opinion or judgment is very transient and ethereal. Really, you can make any case at all and fly in the face of reality. One example was the "rurality" of Manor Road and the adjoining Manor Farm and the field in question. Ironically, as we completed the site visit a pungent smell of manure drifted around our nostrils and as if to amplify the point a cow mooed very loudly! I could not help but comment that the cow must be an urban cow-then adding that I was in no way trying to influence the decision!
|Courtesy Story Homes-this will cause less than significant damage to the heritage approach apparently
But when the tale is told... yes by idiots (because they can't see the value of what's in front of them), the sound and fury means nothing! They can't tell me -or you how to feel, when to feel it or whether it's important. They can't convince me by repeating the same quotation from English Heritage that there will be "less than significant harm" done to the heritage asset (Furness Abbey to you and me). In my book-less than significant harm means that there is some harm! With a nationally important Grade 1 Listed building should we allow ANY harm at all? What of the local appraisal of "harm" and protecting this much loved heritage environment? Over three thousand people objected-this was mentioned only once and pooh-poohed by the appellant's barrister as insignificant. So, if we have a system which goes to public consultation-that would mean they want to know our views wouldn't it? But then to dismiss it at stage two as irrelevant is incongruous and unfair! Granted our merry little band got a limited hearing-but it's not representative is it?
At the end it comes down to power-power derived from money-of which Story Homes have shed loads. They can go the course-and sit with an expensive criminal lawyer, two experts and a consultant and secretary-all beavering behind the scenes (quite noisily sometimes too) to refute, argue and contradict. Our little hard pressed council have the Planning Officer, barrister and solicitor and one expert-not present today. So its David and Goliath all over again! And I'm afraid I'm a sucker for the underdog... aren't you?
Manor Road and the West Gate

(Bloomberg) -- Hugh Skip McGee isnt just the head of a British banks Americas division. He is one of its most lavishly paid officials and the only former Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. alumnus on the executive committee.
When Barclays announced yesterday that McGee is stepping down from that role at the end of the month, it meant the London-based firm will lose a banker seen by U.S. colleagues as their advocate for risk, pay and aggressiveness.
His departure is another step away from a pre-crisis Lehman culture whose competitiveness was written into the firms code of ethics. Almost six years after Barclays bought parts of the company, which filed the biggest bankruptcy in history, and following its own scandals from interest-rate rigging to selling insurance customers didnt need, the lender is cutting jobs, rebuilding relationships with regulators and facing shareholder pressure to curb bonuses.
Barclays has to have its own identity and has to do its own thing, and I think its evolving to that now, said American International Group General Counsel Tom Russo, a former Lehman vice-chairman. I think its becoming extraordinarily cost-conscious. Its shrinking a bit.
McGee, 54, said in an e-mailed statement that hes leaving because the job has changed.
My focus has always been on clients, but given the need for Barclays leadership to focus on regulatory issues for the foreseeable future, I have decided that it is time for me to move on to new challenges, he said.
Barclays said that its making changes as the 2010 Dodd- Frank Act, passed by Congress after Lehmans collapse, requires it to comply with the same regulations and capital rules as domestic lenders, forcing executives to concentrate on compliance.
The bank will move its commodities division into a so- called bad bank of unwanted assets and units to be overseen by Eric Bommensath, according to a person familiar with the plan. Tom King, who serves as co-head of the corporate and investment bank with Bommensath, will become its sole leader, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the change hasnt been announced.
McGee had sought the job thats going to King, according to two colleagues who also requested anonymity.
Pay also has been a concern for McGee, one of them said.
McGees 8.87 million-pound ($14.9 million) stock bonus, disclosed in March, was the highest for any executive at Barclays. Chief Executive Officer Antony Jenkins, a former retail banker who has pledged to shrink compensation, got shares valued at 3.82 million pounds.
The firms U.S. investment bankers dont like the pressure to whittle away at pay, the colleague said. They are facing new European Union rules that will prohibit the firm from giving bonuses more than twice their basic salaries.
McGee helped keep some bankers on the oil and gas team who were upset about compensation and regulatory scrutiny, Bloomberg News reported in August.
At the end of the day, Barclayss investment bank is viewed as being in a mess, said Jason Kennedy, chief executive officer of London-based recruitment firm Kennedy Group. Bankers in the U.S. wont be staying out of loyalty, it will be out of necessity. There will be more to come in term of exits.
McGee, a Texan who started at Lehman in 1993 and rose to head its investment bank, worked on an acquisition for Exxon Mobil Corp., the worlds second-biggest company by market value, and the 2007 acquisition of the former TXU Corp., the largest leveraged buyout ever. TXU, now Energy Future Holdings Corp., filed for bankruptcy yesterday.
A report about Lehman by court-appointed bankruptcy examiner Anton Valukas said that McGee had pushed to take on more risk in 2006 and 2007 before the firms collapse. He and CEO Richard Fuld advocated loosened controls over objections by senior executives, according to the report.
Still, some analysts see McGees departure as detrimental to Barclayss U.S. business, which remains a key driver of the firms advisory and equity underwriting revenue. The firm ranked among the top five underwriters of U.S. stock sales in 2012 and 2013, and third among firms that advise on U.S. mergers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Its seventh in stock underwriting and fourth in merger advice in the U.S. this year.
While the bank has expanded beyond its fixed-income roots in Europe since acquiring Lehman, it is still a laggard in the region. Barclays ranks 12th in underwriting European stock sales this year, down from ninth last year and ranks 16th among merger advisers involving European companies this year, the data show.
McGees departure will be bad given the strategic importance of the U.S. business but it will be a slow drag, said Chirantan Barua, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in London.
McGee will be replaced by Joe Gold, global head of client capital management, the firm said. The former Lehman banker is leaving as Jenkins, 52, prepares to outline his strategy for the investment bank on May 8. A review the bank commissioned found its culture veered into arrogance, greed and ethical ambiguity.
Brian Korn, a securities lawyer in New York for Pepper Hamilton LLP who worked on banking compliance at Barclays until 2012, said McGee understands what it takes to thrive in banking.
Skip and others very much believed that you pay people who are valuable to you, and it will reap benefits in the end, he said. You cant build a world-class bank on the cheap.
Fuld, he said, understood how his people should be paid.
Six years after Lehmans collapse, Barclays also has to please shareholders, regulators and political leaders who find multimillion-dollar payouts to be excessive.
The culture of Lehman and the culture of Barclays are at odds, said Korn. Its a question of the refs taking over the game, and the game, at some point, is going to be unwatchable.

Everything has been great for over 14 months, I am still using firmare 1.00.7 no problems whatsoever. But now my daughter has got to the age where she wants to burn the midnight oil chatting to her friends. The problem I am now having is trying to set up a policy in the router that will only allow her internet acces between certain hours. I don't want to cut her wireless altogether as she shares my printer. In the Restrict Access tab of the set up screen have have a Policy that just uses her MAC address for the adaptor. I have selected the hours during which I will allow her access the internet, yet on saving the settings her PC is still able to get service outside of the allowed hours. The last section on the list concerns the blocked services. Should I be entering details in there, or can I leave them all set to none as they currently are. If yes, then what should they be. Our ISP is AOL so I can easily set parental controls for that client, but when she is not using that, she has a free run. Her favourite chat program at the moment is MSN Messenger I would be ever so grateful if somebody can offer some assistance

Peppermint, PanAway For Aunt Martha's Back Problem

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
"I thought you'd like to know that Mom is feeling better. She says she was already starting to feel better before you put the oils on her; but, I'm here to tell you that there was a remarkable difference the day after you put them on."
I received this short note from my cousin, Linda, just two days after I visited my 64-year-old Aunt Martha. She had been having dreadful pain in her lower back which started two weeks earlier after she twisted around too quickly in her bathtub. She felt something twinge and then the pain became excruciating.
When I heard that she had been in pain for two weeks, I shared with Linda, her daughter, the exercises that had been shown to me when my own back "went out". Linda showed Aunt Martha how to do them and she performed them three times a day for two days, then on my first Saturday off work, I grabbed my case of oils & went to see her. I applied Peppermint, then PanAway, (both neat) and she lay down on the couch to rest. We visited for a while and she didn't seem much better. I left for home that evening feeling somewhat dejected because I didn't think I helped much (except that we did have a nice visit).
So you can imagine my pleasure on the following Monday to receive the message above from Linda. There's got to be something to it! Linda blamed her mother's improvement on the oils, not the exercises. So, now I feel all better now too!

Intro: Convert Customary Measurement
Lesson 6 of 16
Objective: SWBAT convert a measurement from one customary unit to another.
Big Idea: Help Joey figure out how many pitchers he needs to serve the juice so everyone gets some, help out so the school supplies get to school, and help us order enough string to make scarves.
To introduce this lesson, we watch a clip about Customary Measurement on BrainPop. BrainPop offers a subscription based service that delivers feeds of short educational clips.
This particular clip explains what customary measurements are, where they come from, and how they're used. Students learn how many feet are in a mile, how many ounces are in a pound, and how many pints are in a gallon. At the end of this lesson, students can answer (2) questions: What are customary units? Is there an easy way to convert from metric units to customary units?
There are other video resources available for free that address this topic. Bill Nye the Science Guy has an entire episode on this topic, on YouTube, and MathCrash has a video titled Measurement: Distance and Length. You should preview these to make sure they meet your students needs.
Guided Practice
I use my Guided Practice notes to work through two sample problems with students. With the first problem, I explained two methods in order to attack these types of problems.
Resources (2)
Paired Practice
Using MP1, student justified their answers with drawings, chart, pictures, and/or numbers. I used this example because in a previous unit, on coordinate planes, my students were particularly interested in the weight of the puppy on a graph.
Mary has a new puppy that weighs 6 pounds 4 ounces. What is the weight of the puppy in ounces?
This being a multiple step problem, I anticipate students to have difficulty completing all of the steps. I expect some students to multiply 6 pounds by 16 ounces, and forget about the extra 4 ounces. We will also work on a similar problem in another lesson this week in my Post Office lesson.
Resources (3)
Resources (3)
Students made a "big G" to diagram the equivalent measurements in their Math InterActive Notebooks. (This could also be done with Gallon Man.) This is a picture we use to help us remember the customary units of measurement for capacity, and how they relate to one another. The big G stands for one gallon and inside the gallon there are four Q's, which stand for 4 quarts. In each Q, there are two P's, and P stands for pint. There are 8 pints in a gallon. In each pint, there are two cups and C stands for cups. There are 16 cups in a gallon. We also viewed real-word examples of: cups, pints, quarts, and gallons, and we discussed what things came in each container.

As BMW prepares to bring its new G310 R to market this year, I thought it appropriate to take a look back at some of the company's previous attempts at offering small displacement, entry models.
By today's standards, BMW's first bike was a small displacement machine. As the company, today, competes in the over 500cc premium segment, its first model, the R32 and its 486cc engine would seem rather out of place among the brand's current offerings. The G 310 R will be the brand's first offering in the sub-500cc premium segment, in modern times. However, the R32 was not an 'entry-level' machine.
The brand's first attempt at producing an 'affordable' model, the R39 of 1925, too had a single cylinder engine like the G310 R. However, I'm sure that the Bavarians are hoping that the R39's sales performance is no indicator of how the G 310 R will sell, when it's introduced. The R39 sold very poorly and was discontinued only two years later. Maybe it was that entry model stigma?
However, at the time, the failure of the R39 was of little significance as the firm's more expensive and more profitable offerings were selling well, in the context of premium vehicles. After 1929, and the economic tumult accompanying it, everything changed. The premium motorcycle market largely dried up. Consequently, BMW was forced to bring a machine for the masses to market.
This time, as the world was suffering economically, BMW had slightly better luck. In 1931, BMW introduced the R2. Also utilizing a single cylinder power plant, the R2 had only 198cc, making it, still, the smallest engine of any BMW motorcycle ever. Compared to the rest of the company's offerings, the R2 cost very little at only 975RM.
The price wasn't the only draw. Due to its extremely small engine size, riders could operate the R2 without even having a motorcycle license. How comforting. The R2 also enabled riders to evade the road tax. BMW managed to sell over 15,000 examples of the R2, making it a relatively successful model, in the context of the economic climate. However, for greater context, when economic conditions improved in Germany, BMW's R12 with its high price and its 750cc engine, it catapulted BMW sales to over 10,000 units in a single year.
Fast forward many years, to the 1970's and BMW is preparing to offer a new entry-level bike. R45 production began in 1978 and ended in 1985. The R45 was criticized as not living up to the BMW name and for being too weak. Just over 28,000 units were sold during its production run. Largely considered as a commercial failure, it failed to sell better than or even as well as its larger sibling the R65. Again, for context, by 1982 the firm was selling more than 37,000 motorcycles in a single year.
Though the past is not necessarily indicative of future events, it seems that maybe BMW's upcoming G 310 R might have had a better chance of success if it had been brought to market in 2008 rather than during 2016. Too, the brand's history as a whole illustrates well how the 'keep going downmarket' crowd's strategy is highly flawed, particularly when economic conditions are good.
BMW Motorrad is an aspirational brand, whose bikes are priced accordingly. Its best-selling models are consistently bikes with engines over 1000cc and its sub-1000cc displacement offerings fail to sell anywhere near as well. Maybe if BMW wants to seek much larger volumes, it should establish another brand through which to do so.
In the 60s, BMW acquired a fellow German firm whom produced small displacement two-wheeled vehicles, as well as automobiles, named Glas. As pursuing too much volume, particularly through offerings below a certain price point is imprudent for a premium brand, resurrecting the Glas name could enable BMW to produce non-premium, volume vehicles without consequence to its core brand's equity and its concomitantly greater profit margins. This strategy, of course, applies to both its motorcycle and automotive divisions.

By Bob Schaper
ROCKFORD (WREX) - She was a secretary at Auburn High School and a woman who advocated for victims' rights. Monday she became a victim herself - and police think it was a loved one who killed her.
Rockford police were called to 1820 Wedel Avenue, just a few houses down from Huffman Boulevard, Monday morning. When they arrived they found Carol McFeggan, 62, dead in a bedroom, shot in the head.
Her husband, Tom McFeggan, is wanted on charges of first degree murder. Police say he left his daughter a message directing her to the home where the victim's body was found. Neighbors on Wedel say Carol and Tom McFeggan were a friendly couple who showed no signs of outward trouble.
Sandra Glaspie lives up the street on Wedel. "I just can't believe it," she said. "I'm really shocked. Carol was a very nice person, and she will truly be missed at the school district as well as in the neighborhood."
After a drunk driver killed her brother, Craig Peterson, in July 2004, Carol worked with the Winnebago County State's Attorney's office to co-found a homicide survivors' support group. 13 News interviewed Carol in September 2007.
"When you're going through the judicial process," she said at the time, "you'll notice defendants have all the rights."
In a taped interview with 13 News in April 2006 Tom McFeggan, 65, talked about his wife's work.
"People do in fact have to get on with their lives after bad things have happened," he said. "We are here for them. And my wife is here for them."
Now police think he's responsible for gunning Carol down, something one neighbor finds hard to believe.
"He let the kids touch the dogs," said Luis Albarbo, who lives two doors down. "A pretty friendly guy."
Gerri Flynn got to know Carol very well. The 2 met after Gerri joined the group. Her son, Eric, was murdered in 2004. The group helped her heal. Gerri says she's shocked not only that Carol is gone, but that she died so violently.
"She was a wonderful listener. And she had a warm, warm, kind soul. And people like that you don't find everyday. We're gonna miss her very, very much," Flynn says.
Tom McFeggan is wanted on $1 million bond. Police say he's driving white two-door Chevy Cavalier with Illinois license plate 269-5502. If you know where he is, call Rockford Police at (815) 987-5824 or CrimeStoppers at 963-7867.

The weirdest collection of techie toys I've ever seen at the Toy Fair goes to Westminster Inc. Its new toy line consists of:
- Norman the Gnome ($24.99), a motion-activated, door-greeting gnome that talks, waves, and says 11 mean things
- Whack-a-Mouse ($19.99), similar to Whack-a-Mole except you're whacking mice instead
- Fountain Fun Duck ($7.99), a battery-operated rubber duckie that lights up and makes a quacking sound once placed in water
- RC Rat with Fur ($19.99), a remote-controlled rat that is guaranteed to scare someone's little sister. Why the emphasis on "with fur"? The company's previous R/C rat model didn't have fur you could feel!
Check out more photos of Westminster's toys after the jump.
Detector Camera ($5.99)
Although it looks like a real video camera, it doesn't actually record. It has a flashing red light and scans back and forth.
Fountain Fun Duck
Something for the duck enthusiast Blogging Molly!
Battery-Powered Chi Chi ($7.99)
This puppy Chihuahua walks forward, barks, shakes its head, and wags its tail.
Crazy Cluck: The Wacky Chicken ($23.99)
This crazy chicken dances to what else but the Chicken Dance. Squeeze his wing and he flaps his wings and sways back and forth to the music. But don't grab his neck, or else he'll squawk and gasp for air!
Basket Case ($5.99)
Totally not techy, but it's so wacky I just had to mention it! You strap the basketball hoop to your head and play with yourself!

A Refined Explanation of The Sanusi Creed By Shaykh Sa'id Foudah
[#4457 0B3 PB 224pp,The Foundational Proofs,Sunni Publications, English Translated by Suraqah Abdul]
A Refined Explanation of The Sanusi Creed By Shaykh Sa'id Foudah
A Refined Explanation of The Sanusi Creed The Foundational Proofs
Author : Shaykh Sa'id Foudah
Foreword by Shaykh Galal al-Jihani
Translated by Suraqah Abdul Aziz
Paperback 224 pages
Publisher : Sunni Publications, First Edition (2013)
About The Book
The Foundational Proofs of Imam al-Sanusi is one of the foundational works in Islamic theology and is considered historically as an elemental text in traditional Islamic education. Studied for centuries and memorized by children throughout the Islamic world, The Foundational Proofs offers readers a methodical outline of Islamic doctrine that satisfies the mind and the heart alike. In this age of mass confusion and intellectual malaise, where fundamental Islamic beliefs are misunderstood and credulity is championed as faith, The Foundational Proofs explains the tenets of faith and supports them both rationally and textually.
Further enhancing the value of this work is the engaging and relevant additions of Shaykh Sa'id Foudah, one of the worlds leading Islamic theologians today, who presents Imam al-Sanusis work with the interlineal commentary of Imam Ahmad b. 'Isa al-Ansari and engaging and detailed footnotes collated from a variety of famous commentaries, such as those by Imam al-Bajuri, Imam al-Battawi, Imam al-Sawi, Imam al-Marghani, and others, as well as his own insightful comments.
"One of the most important tasks for a person to engage in is earnest research into the doctrines of the Islamic faith. That is because the religion of Islam is based upon proofs and sound evidence; it does not contradict science or violate the fundamentals of rationality. Fundamentally, the religion of Islam is based upon rationality, and while it is true that it does not ignore the emotional aspect of religion, faith that is not grounded in the intellect is not considered perfect faith, nor is it capable of withstanding or confronting false beliefs, specious arguments, or the doubts that are spread in each age. Here Shaykh Sa'id Foudah has taken it upon himself to explicate the foundational beliefs of Islam and tenets of faith as based on the intellect, and to demonstrate their congruity with and non-contradiction to the sciences of logic and science."

Indeed I am! I miss old FPS games where your only objective was to shoot everything that moves.. and this is looking just like that!
Looks amazing.
This and Moon are gonna be fantastic.
Woah. Not a huge fan of FPS here, but the videos look amazing, and graphic-wise it looks even better than PS1 games. I'm definitely going to check this out.
Ok, that looks fantastic. I love oldschool FPS's. I cannot wait for Duke3d for XBLA. I still hop on and play a couple of levels of either single player or some deathmatch on Doom on XBLA too. This one looks good. However, Moon i haven't seen much. Any quick links to vids of Moon? I'm very interested in seeing that.
Also, i want to see a good port of DN3d to the DS. Thats the one i'd like to see. With Wifi that is. To play some DukeMatches with other (local) DS owners. I know a few that would be very interested in that.
Interestingly, this is by the same guys who made Mazes Of Fate DS and are making Black Sigil. Hm, still worth checking out I guess.
No its not, the developers of this game are Polish developer NoWay Studio..
Black Sigil is developed by Studio Archcraft.
Mazes of Fate by Sabarasa Entertainment.
The only connection is that it is gonna be published by Graffiti Entertainment (who have published the other two games), they have no input in those games. Also I think C.O.R.E. has a different publisher in some other regions.

Three and a Half Virgins
A Novel by
If you're a woman, how would you react if the man who broke your
heart twenty years ago suddenly showed up on your doorstep to apologize? And if you happen to be that man,
what would motivate you to do something that bold and unpredictable, and what
would you expect to happen? And will sexual sparks be re-ignited after twenty years?
It all
begins when our hapless hero's wife leaves him for the guy up the block. After a mostly unsuccessful foray into the world of Internet dating, he finds himself revisiting his past. Engulfed by nostalgia, and sexual fantasies, he's suddenly gripped by pleasant memories of three old flames -- Laura, Samantha and Molly -- all of whom happened to have been virgins when he met them twenty years before.
But the warm refuge of the past soon gives way to icy reality when he confronts the sobering details of how maliciously he tricked, seduced and broke each of their hearts. Overcome by remorse and tantalized by curiosity, he finds a way to reshape his past.
Which, if any of the virgins will our hero end up with after his quest? The answer will surprise you, as "Three and a Half Virgins" transports you back and forth through time, and ultimately suggests that the past is not necessarily prologue.
Reviews"...falls somewhere between "American Pie," "Crazy, Stupid Love" and "The Forty
Year-Old Virgin." A true pleasure to read." -- Daniel Boucher, The NovelBlog
"Written in such a fresh
style that you practically expect the typeface to rub off on your
fingers like wet ink. Blumenthal has a Woody Allen-like ear for
dialogue."-- The Kindle Book Review
"Blumenthal has a jaundiced eye and a wonderfully ironic style" -- L.A. Daily News
"With a nod to Denis Leary's Bad Boy movie, Three and a Half Virgins is an amusing character study of a man looking back at his transgressions towards women." -- Harriet Klausner, Mainstream Fiction
"A delightful tale about a man's personal journey to understand his past. Highly recommended." -- Great Minds Think Aloud Book Club

Manus Island inquiry: Staff, contractors lift lid on 'death trap' conditions inside immigration detention centreBy political reporter Naomi Woodley
Evidence to a Senate inquiry this week has painted a graphic and disturbing picture of the conditions at the Manus Island immigration detention centre when an Iranian asylum seeker was killed.
The inquiry has been established by the Greens and Labor to investigate the circumstances which lead to the death of Iranian Reza Barati during several days and nights of riots at the centre in February.
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says the investigation is not designed to decide who directly killed Mr Barati, but rather provide a comprehensive look at the the policy of sending asylum seekers offshore for processing and resettlement.
The evidence from a range of whistleblowers and former service providers, who all spent considerable time on the island, creates an impression of a centre that was overwhelmed by too many detainees and not welcome by many locals.
The inquiry has heard from repeated witnesses that the pressure on the Manus Island centre increased dramatically when former prime minister Kevin Rudd announced his so-called PNG solution last year on July 19.
From that time all asylum seekers trying to reach Australia by boat would be transferred offshore, and would never be resettled in Australia.
It is a policy that has been maintained by the current Coalition government.
Detention centre facilities 'insufficient'
The Salvation Army was the lead contractor on the island, providing welfare and support services before and after the July 19 policy change.
Liz Cruickshank was the contract manager on Manus Island.
Salvation Army chief executive of Humanitarian Mission Services Sharon Callister outlined to the inquiry the impact the dramatic increase in numbers had on every aspect of life at the centre.
The Salvation Army says it repeatedly raised these concerns with the Department of Immigration, but nothing had changed by the end of February when their contract ended.
"Ultimately the facilities, pre-July 2013, were constructed to accommodate and care for approximately 400 to 500 persons, but by December 2013 they were housing 1,300 asylum seekers," Ms Callister told the inquiry.
The previous contract provider for security and management services, G4S, gave similar evidence about a lack of responsiveness from the Immigration Department, when it repeatedly requested improvements to the centre's fencing and lighting.
The Immigration Department says from late 2013 it was making progress on improving the infrastructure at the centre.
Department secretary Martin Bowles has rejected the assertion that the requests from G4S were ignored.
The inquiry was told construction was delayed by the February riots, but that work has now begun.
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Scott Morrison also points to the fact that both G4S and the Salvation Army did not have their contracts renewed, and Transfield Services now holds a combined contract.
"The Government formed the view that a change of contracting arrangements was necessary and as a result decided not to continue the contracts of the Salvation Army or G4S and instead integrated service contracts across both the Manus Island and Nauru processing centres," the spokesman said.
"This has resulted in a far more satisfactory set of arrangements."
Guards called centre rape dungeon: former staff
The most emotional testimony to the Senate inquiry came from former staff members of both the Salvation Army and G4S.
Former G4S guard Steve Kilburn broke down as he described conditions for injured detainees after the February riots which are at the centre of this inquiry.
Nicole Judge and Christopher Iocono told of how they were recruited by the Salvation Army through Facebook and rushed to Nauru in September 2012, as the Salvos aimed to meet the rapid deadlines put in place by the previous government.
Both say the conditions at Manus Island were far worse than on Nauru, where families are now held.
In her submission to the inquiry, Ms Judge included what she had heard both the G4S guards and PNG national guards saying in regards to the centre and its occupants.
Both university students say they did not receive any training for the psychological support they found themselves providing to detainees every day.
The Salvation Army maintains general support workers did not require training, telling the inquiry those who required qualifications like teachers and social workers were appropriately qualified.
Mr Kilburn and another former guard employed by G4S, Martin Appleby, also told the inquiry of their ongoing concerns about the limited training provided to the local security staff employed to work at the centre, some of whom are believed to have joined in the attack on asylum seekers during the riots in February.
G4S management told the inquiry it has re-examined its training procedures but believes they were sufficient.
"We concluded that it was not a training issue, it was a discipline issue, which quite honestly is driven by experience. That was one of the key factors," Darren Boyd said.
The company says it is still very unclear which of its staff participated in the attacks on the asylum seekers.
Tense relationship between locals, resettled refugees: Kilburn
Of the Salvation Army and G4S whistleblowers, only Mr Kilburn was at the centre on the night Mr Barati was killed, but all have described the relationship with local Manus Island residents and the police mobile squad as tense at best, and downright deadly at worst.
Mr Kilburn described the PNG police mobile squad to the inquiry.
He believes any refugees resettled on Manus Island will be in grave danger, unless there is a massive payoff for local landowners.
"The locals are resentful of the fact that we are destroying their island basically and just turning it into a tip," he said.
The inquiry heard conflicting evidence about whether G4S authorised the entry of the heavily armed PNG police mobile squad, after its own incident response team had been overwhelmed with exhaustion.
Mr Kilburn believes the invitation was implicit.
But the G4S general managers from the centre, John McCaffrey and Kevin Pye, are adamant that authorisation was never given, because they had increasing concerns about the conduct of the mobile squad.
The PNG police themselves have said they never entered the centre, but that has been dismissed by the man commissioned by the federal government to do an independent review into Mr Barati's death.
"I have no evidence that that is correct and a considerable amount of evidence that it is not," Robert Cornall told the inquiry.
Robert Cornall is the author of the Federal Government's independent review, and says Mr Barati would have stood out in the crowd due to his height.
Department says PNG Government has overall control
The killing of Mr Barati sparked this inquiry, but the question of who is directly responsible for his death is unlikely to be answered by this Senate process.
The inquiry heard that the PNG police investigation is ongoing, and the Federal Government has repeatedly cautioned against interference in procedures of another sovereign nation.
But what the inquiry is revealing is a centre staffed by often young and inexperienced workers, with insufficient facilities and a confused chain of command.
The Immigration Department is careful to emphasise that contractors are responsible for the activities of their staff in the centre, and the PNG government has overall control.
But evidence from G4S immigration services managing director Chris Manning also illustrated the involvement of the Australian Immigration Department in running the centre.
"It would not be appropriate for us to write to the department of immigration in PNG without writing to the Department of Immigration in Australia. We were in a contractual partnership with them," he said.
The Salvation Army, G4S and other witnesses all raised the slow progress and uncertainty about the processing of refugee claims by the PNG government as a key contributor, if not the deciding factor in the riots in which Mr Barati died.
Again the Immigration Department says it is ultimately a matter for the PNG government, but that progress is now being made.
As of June 13, the Federal Government says 1,214 men are held at the Manus Island centre.

Their Planet Pixies are the first toys that they have launched. Many great websites such as Amazon.com, Target.com, and ToysRUs.com have taken notice of these amazing Eco-conscious dolls.
Their next line, Jasper's Jungle will launch in the spring of 2009. Jasper's Jungle includes an assortment of adorable animals to provide safe, imaginative fun.
Meet The Planet Pixies:
There are three pixies that come from different endangered places around the world. Planet Pixies are made from organic cotton fabric and natural materials. These Pixies can be given to children as young as 3 years old. Each Planet Pixie comes with a story about where it is from and different tips on how to help save their environment.
Anyu the Ice Pixie-
Anyu is from the North Pole which is home to many creatures such as polar bears, seals, reindeers, and Pixies! The ice there is known as the "polar ice cap", and is important to the planet. When pollution from all over the world melts causes temperatures to rise and the ice to melt, it is known as "global warming". This can cause natural disasters, animals to get hurt, and the pixies will loose their home! She needs a good friend to take care of her and help keep pollution down to care for the North Pole.
Maia the Tree Pixie-
Maia is from the largest rain forest in the world, the Amazon. The amazon is home to more animals than any other region on the planet. Many trees are being cut down everyday which is causing Maia and all of her animal friends to loose their home. She needs a friend to take care of her and help watch out for the trees in her environment!
Kayla the Marsh Pixie-
Kayla is from the marshes in the Florida Everglades. The Everglades is home to beautiful animals such as alligators, panthers, manatees, bobcats, and pixies! The Everglades are now half the size that they used to be because of pollution and over building. Kayla needs a friend to take care of her and help stop water from being polluted and killing the Everglades.
Children can learn more about each Planet Pixie and what they can do to help save the environment on their special website. Their special website is adorable and provides so much information!
My thoughts:
I received Anyu the Ice Pixie. She came in packaging that is Organic and is 100% recyclable! In her hand she carried her story and how her new friend could help take care of her environment.
I LOVE these! I think they are a fantastic idea that will help bring awareness to all the little things we do that can harm the planet in a HUGE way. With so many people "going green", why not get our children involved and teach them how to take care of the planet in ways that they can understand!
I absolutely adore the idea that each child can go online and learn more ways that they can help "save" their new Planet Pixie friend and their environment! Not only are they educational, but they can also be used as your child's new friend! They are super cute and very soft! Their outfits are great because they match the environment that they came from and they will provide children with hours of imaginative play.
Want it?
Planet pixies can be purchased on their website, I Love My Planet Toys. You can also check their website for a retail store that near you that carries them.
Each Pixie is $24.95.
