Curriculum Meetings
Back to School Night is held at the beginning of the school year. During this evening, the teachers discuss what students will be learning during the year. Parents are encouraged to review the Curriculum Frameworks that are posted online.
Family Mornings
Once the school year is underway, your child's teacher will host a "Family Morning" once per month during the school year. Parents are invited into their childrens' classrooms to observe and participate in their learning. There are also class and grade wide publishing parties and other celebrations throughout the year.
To maximize safety and productive engagement and minimize overcrowding and distraction for Family Mornings, we are asking that families send ONLY ONE parent or family member to a Family Morning. Additionally, siblings who are in another class in the school are not permitted to attend. This is so that all students can continue to participate in their own learning in their own classes. There are Family Mornings during the year designed for both parents to attend.
Meeting with Teachers
Parents are encouraged to meet with their child's teacher(s) but must schedule an appointment to do so with the teacher. We ask parents not to address a specific issue with a teacher at arrival or dismissal (when the teacher needs to be focused on all children in his/her class).
Whenever you have a concern about your child in the classroom, his/her work or behavior, please address the issue with the teacher first. If you have specific concerns about your child in a cluster class (Gym, Computer, Science, Art, and Dance), please arrange to discuss it with that teacher.
Remember that there are always confidentiality issues involved. Speaking to a teacher in front of students or other parents is never appropriate. If necessary, the teacher may refer you to one of the school counselors.
Open School Week
During the month of November, parents are invited to observe their child's class as well as their speciality classes. More detailed information including a schedule will be distributed by your child's teacher prior to Open School Week.
Parent Teacher Conferences
There are two Parent-Teacher conferences per school year, one in November and one in March (dates subject to change). Parents are required to attend these conferences and may also meet with speciality teachers (Art, Dance, Gym, Science, Technology.) Please note that on the days of Parent-Teacher conferences, students are dismissed at 11:45am. Detailed information is distributed by the classroom teacher prior to the conference date.
Report Cards
Parents will receive report cards three times during the year - November, March and June.
Spring Open School Night
During this evening event, teachers host various workshops including what to expect the following year.
Student Records
Parents have a right to review and obtain copies of their child's school records. All requests should go through the Main Office.
Testing and Assessments
Teachers regularly assess students' progress during the school year. Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th Grades take Statewide Standardized tests in Literacy and Math; 4th Grade students also take the New York State Science Test. For this year's test dates, please refer to www.nysed.gov (the NY State Education Department).

Sometimes, things do not go exactly as you planned. While I have been working away trying to finish my quilts for the upcoming quilt show, I ran into a problem. No fabric for my binding for the last quilt I am completing.
Part of the reason was that I mis-cut the border fabric that I had originally intended to use leaving me with way less fabric than I needed. I had the bright idea to use this tutorial to bind – since it required smaller cuts of the binding fabric. I thought I had enough of the accent fabric left from the quilt to complete the look.
As I drag the fabric out, I notice the cuts of the fabric would not be conducive to binding fabric – too many seams – most of them were only 6" x 5" pieces of fabric. Oh boy. What do I do? The accent fabric is a hand dye that I made a while back. I don't think I can duplicate it because it was fire red dye over dyed with Chinese red. I then go to my stash of dyes and find out I have NO Chinese Red dye! OH NO!
I have only until Tuesday to complete this quilt; there is no time to order more dye and get this completed. I prepare some fabric in my soda ash solution and hope for the best. I know I can't duplicate the color because I just dumped the rest of my Fire Red (about a tablespoon and a half) and about a half tablespoon of Fuscia. At the last minute I decided to add some Golden Yellow (the Chinese Red is an orange-red). I think I usesd maybe a quarter teaspoon of it.
Here it is fresh out of the dryer! Trust me – the photo does not do it justice. It is still a tad bit damp for one and the red is a bit harder to photograph.

Fish of the day: Shiny strange seahorse.
And for all of you fish-enthusiasts out there (anyone?) Here are some fish puns.
Fish of the day: Shiny strange seahorse.
And for all of you fish-enthusiasts out there (anyone?) Here are some fish puns.
Friends, we are still here. We might have gone under the radar for a short period, but stuff is happening!
Some time ago we flew across Norway to the wet, cold and windy town of Bergen to go to Konsoll. Konsoll is a conference (or festival) for game developers – aiming to create a sustainable game development industry in Norway. We, or at least me (Jennydalf), was quite nervous about this small adventure. I wouldn´t be so bold as to call myself a "game developer" yet, even though I am the mastermind behind the blockbuster "Jennyball".
After listening to the awesome speakers, and meeting a lot of talented people, we realized that we might have been aiming a bit high with "Edgar". It´s quite a complicated game to be our first, and since we are very eager to learn and make something as fast as possible, we started to think of simpler concepts that would still be interesting and fun to make and play.
Sooo… *drumroll* Let us introduce: "Aquanaut" or "Akuanaut" or "Nautical" or "the big climb" or "up up and away" or… well… we´ll think of a good name.
I really really reeeeaaally like fish. If I wasn´t a graphic designer, I would have been a marine biologist. This game involves a lot of fish. I´m gonna have so much fun with the graphics!
It´s a simple jump-forever-and-ever-game. You play the role of a lost diver, waking up at the bottom of the ocean. You need to collect air to survive. You jump from one fish to another to get higher. Different fish have different functions. Eventually you might reach the surface (and beyond!). Besides air, you collect some sort of in-game currency as you jump, and at the end of each level you will be able to buy gear to improve the diver. (And lots and lots of other interesting features.)
This is gonna be fun!
Update 20.10.13: Just to be clear: Edgar is not dead. We definitely want to bring him to life eventually.
Me and Jennydalf are busy learning Unity3D, our weapon of choice for making games. We are already too proud to keep it to our selves, so why not show you this first masterpiece of a game already, while we are trying to figure out where the power button is. Note that Jenny did most of it, my role was simply adding some mindblowing sound-FX.
So don't just stand there, but try out "Jennyball – The Evil Absorber of Tiny Green Cubes (that go ding)" here:
– https://www.jennydalf-and-ninjolai.com/pub/rollerball/ (for Mac OS X and Windows)
– Linux version is here: https://www.jennydalf-and-ninjolai.com/pub/rollerball_linux_x86.zip
You can compare scores, for bragging rights if you'd like, post them here or on Facebook!
PS: I wouldn't look for introductory tutorials for Unity 3D similar to this game, they don't exist.
Since both Nikolai and I have full time jobs, it´s a little tough to find time to work on the game. But we´re slowly moving forward, and spend most of our evenings talking about the game concept or learning Unity. I have started on a great tutorial, which explains most of what the different tools in the program do. I´m also working my way through code academy´s programming-lessons, to get a basic grip on coding. Nikolai will of course be the one doing that part of the work, but it´s helpful to know a bit about the language.
The game concept is starting to get somewhere as well. The main storyline is getting clearer, and we have some new thoughts around the mechanics. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I feel we´re moving in the right direction.
We have talked a lot about it, and come to the conclusion that we don´t want to share the full storyline until the game is done. It has some twists and turns that we would like to be a surprise. But we´ll give you a short summary of the basic plot, and what poor Edgar has to face:
So that´s the plot. Roughly… It´s pretty basic, and gives Edgar a clear motive: Collect parts to fix his girlfriend. It also makes it easy for us to divide the game into chapters – one for each part. In each chapter you will be introduced to new or more advanced mechanics.
It´s a common story, but the twists makes it special. Just wait.
About the mechanics: This is where we have been struggling. The mechanics has to be based on something that the humans could have used as a weapon against the robots. Something that destroys or manipulates metal. We lost the battle for magnets against Teslagrad and our new friends from Bergen (Go play the demo). So then what? We talked a bit about using the qualities of metal itself. (Melting points, chemical reactions, corrosion, mass….) but it didn´t really fit into the idea of a weapon. So we made a list:
What can destroy a robot:
-Computer viruses
-Nature (genetically modified super-nature)
-Teleporters (Just teleport them into space. Done deal)
Acid. Acid is cool. There has been made several games using acid before, we know that… but it fits really well. It could also add something to the story, in terms of the humans making a weapon that not only destroyed the robots – but also, in the end, themselves.
…So we started talking about the possibilities of using acid, and I started sketching:
If any of you people out there has any thoughts or ideas, please share them with us. Like I said: nothing is set in stone yet.
So, I think we finally settled on using Unity to make our game. After googling a lot, and talking to a couple of game-developers in Norway (who all use Unity) it seemed like the logical choice.
I downloaded it today. I have never worked in a game engine before, and didn´t quite know what to expect. It´s a 3D game engine, so I expected a lot of trouble. 3D is a completely unexplored territory for me. Our game is going to be a 2D platformer, but apparently you can still make it in Unity. You just have to make it "flat" 3D in a way. I´ll probably know more about this soon.
My initial reaction after opening the program, and watching a tutorial that was far over my head, was something like this:
Seriously… I didn´t even understand how to move the camera.
But then I found this awesome tutorial on how to make a tree. And I made one. Just look at it. It has branches and leaves and everything!
I think this small achievement might have gone to my head.
So… as you can tell, I am incredibly optimistic at the moment. Maybe I´ll try to make something that is actually relevant for our game tomorrow. Or maybe I´ll make more trees.
Apart from making super-simple flash ads through my job as a Graphic Designer, I have pretty much never animated a thing before. We had a couple of lessons when I went to the art academy, but nothing advanced. So… I´m expecting a pretty steep learning curve. I will make all the graphic material for our game, which involves a lot of moving objects.
After playing around in Adobe after effects for a little while now, I have come to realize that I not only have to learn how to animate, but I will also have to do some serious research on how different things move. For example: I tried to make a crate fall from the sky (because sometimes crates do that.) Sounds pretty simple. But then I had to figure out how fast it should fall, how hard it should hit the ground, the impact sending the crate back up again, and how fast it then would fall back down again. The game engine we choose will probably do a lot of this work for us, but it´s still practical for me to know how it works.
For now I´m using Adobe After Effects. I don´t know if that´s the best way to go around animating for games, but it´s a program I´m fairly familiar with. After animating your clip, it also allows you to export your movie into an png-sequence. Then you get all of the still-frames in separate image files. I can use this later to make sprites for the game.
I could of course hand-draw each frame to get a more dynamic look to it, but since Edgar is a robot made out of solid pieces connected with joints, I get a more realistic robot-animation by just moving and turning his joints as they are.
Anyhow: Edgar is alive! Look at him go! The animations need some polishing, and I have to work a bit with the timing of things. Like how fast the wheel is gonna turn, and how his joints will move. Still… I´m just happy to see him moving!
And: If anybody has any advice on how to make good sprite-sheets, and what kind of tools to use. Let me know!
This was the first animation I ever made of Edgar. It´s a rough test to see how he will function in an environment with different elements. I used the puppet-tool in After effects, which is stretching him like he´s made of rubber. The examples above, where I don´t stretch the joints, works better. The sound effects are hilarious! Just free samples I grabbed from looperman. And the jumping-animation is way off. He needs more power in his jump to go that high.
Soooo… We went out with a couple of friends yesterday, and talked about our game. The reaction was "Oh, like Teslagrad! A friend of mine is making that. He´s from Bergen!". Apparently he is also a part of Hyperion, an awesome organisation I do some designwork for. Who would have though? Dammit… So that was a minor setback.
In our defence, it´s pretty much impossible to be completely original these days, and we hadn´t heard about the game before. But we want to be original. Or at least original within our own country. Preferably in the world, but that could be a challenge. Norway doesn´t have that big of an indie-game scene, and to be competing with somebody with a game based on the same idea could be problematic. And maybe also a bit unpopular. We don´t want to be unpopular.
When that´s said, Teslagrad looks awesome. I have only seen the demo, but it seems really smooth. You´re playing this small guy with a glove that can make certain things magnetic, which allows him to make elements (or himself) soar around because of the magnetic polarity. It´s scheduled to be released this year on PS3. The story and atmosphere in the game is very different from what we´re planning to make, but the basic idea of using magnets is the same.
But we don´t want to let go of our concept or our story. Edgar is too good, and the universe we have started to create around him is really interesting. So we though: why not turn it around? In the beginning we decided to make a metal character because of the magnets, but why not focus on the qualities metal? It opens up a whole new aspect. We can play with rust, soft metals, hard metals, melting points, oxidation… Magnets will still be a part of the game, but maybe just as a chapter? We haven´t polished the idea yet, but we do think this has potential 😀
After a summer of feeling ridiculously smart playing games like Braid and Limbo, it was pretty clear to us that our game should be a puzzle-game. And since we lack experience in making games, starting with a 2D platformer seemed smart. So that´s what we´re going to do.
All of the best puzzle-games contains some sort of main mechanism that you use to solve problems. Whether it´s rewinding time, making portals or turning into a chicken. We want to use magnets, because magnets are cool. In a game they would be particularly cool if the character is made of metal. It made sense to make our main character a robot. We figure it will give us a lot of opportunities to play with the physics of magnetism and metal, and our poor robot character will be tossed and dragged around.
But why would our robot be in a world filled with magnets? I´ll tell you soon. It´s gonna involve war, love and cushions.
In the mean time: Here are some of my many sketches of robots, resulting in Edgar. I still might change him a bit, but I´m happy with his awkward and box-like look. And to be completely honest, I want to keep him simple since I lack experience with animation. Having a wheel instead of legs makes it slightly easier. I might give him two legs eventually, but I actually really like him the way he is.

I am in love with this shoot. No really. I think it might be the beautiful couple Jackie & Nik, or it might just be the fact that we got to spend their engagement shoot in the company of the most beautiful horse at Wildwood Manor Ranch in Georgetown, Ontario. She was gorgeous!
When I met with Jackie & Nik to chat about their wedding plans and their engagement shoot, Jackie mentioned that she rides horses in her spare time, so what could be more perfect than an equestrian themed engagement shoot?
As for a favourite moment, our cute little horse managed to sneezed all over poor Nik's sweater, which he & Jackie laughed off (and lucky me it created quite a hilarious moment as the horse stuck out her tongue for the photo!)
To Jackie & Nik – thanks for a beautiful autumn shoot and I can't wait to shoot the wedding next year!

Cobie Smulders gave up her modelling career following her first and last runway show after she tripped and fell on her face.
The brunette beauty began her career in front of the camera at age 16 when she spent a summer doing shoots in Tokyo, Japan, before moving to New York to pursue modelling full-time when she graduated from high school.
But The Avengers star admits her heart wasn't in fashion and she decided to quit after a disastrous debut on the catwalk when she took a nasty tumble.
She tells the New York Post, "It was a shoe issue, and also I think the runway was just tables stuck together length-wise. It was all very wobbly. I didn't enjoy making a living off of how I look, so I bowed out... I was definitely using it to live in the West Village for free, to go to Paris or Germany for six months. But it had an expiration date."

Goings On
So, summer is flying by! I know it might look like I've forgotten about my blog over the last couple of weeks, but I promise that I haven't. In fact, I feel horrible that I haven't posted, but there is a reason.
I have been insanely busy but not just with my work. The last few weeks, we have had friends in town from Georgia and California. We went on a mini trip to Mackinaw Island, which was awesome. I've always wanted to take my son there, especially since we read "Mayhem on Mackinaw Island" by Johnathan Rand. It was great! He loved riding the ferry and even made me ride on the top level in an oncoming storm on the way back to Mackinaw City. I never knew my hair could get so tangled!
Last week, we took a trip to the Toledo Zoo. We went last year for the first time and made a point to go this year, but it wasn't as much fun this time. It was incredibly hot and busy. We couldn't make it to everything this time. I started getting sick on the way home and was sick with a headache for the next two days. I think I've come to realize that I will probably have to pause my appointments every summer because my health is as fickle as the weather – literally.
I feel really badly that I'm not able to make scheduled appointments right now. Besides the weather and the headaches, construction is still going strong. I thought they were just about done. I don't think they've really done anything over the last two weeks, but this week is back to lots of noise. Even without the construction, though, I just can't promise appointments when I don't know if I'll be sick or not.
That is the other reason I haven't been writing as much in my blog. I'm having a hard time knowing how many email readings to make available. Some weeks, I have them all done by Wednesday, and I offer more but it tends to take too long getting responses and I end up finishing up on the weekends. Or, I offer too many and then don't have time for anything else. Feeling bad about not offering appointments means I usually offer too many email readings. I can't do as many email readings as I did telephone sessions because they take quite a bit longer – both for the reading itself and administratively. So, if I seem to be neglecting my blog, I promise my thoughts are there. I'm probably overdoing it with email readings, though. 🙂
Next week, I will not be offering any email readings and do hope to answer a question in my blog. The Fowlerville Fair is next week, and this is sorta a big deal for my family. I know I can't spend too much time out in the sun but do plan to go hopefully two days, and I may be paying for that decision the other days. Sun + Me = Not Good! 🙁
I hope everyone is doing well. I really miss not being able to actually talk to people on the phone, so I guess I can't wait for fall.

The Journal of Character Education serves an audience of researchers, policy makers, teacher educators, and school practitioners concerned with the development of positive character in young people. The Character Education Partnership (CEP) defines character education as efforts to help young people develop good character, which includes knowing about, caring about, and acting upon core ethical values such as fairness, honesty, compassion, responsibility, and respect for self and others. The editors and the CEP view character education as a comprehensive and interdisciplinary term that reflects CEPs Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education. These principles call upon schools to address character education in their overall school climate, academic curriculum, extra-curricular activities, inter-personal relationships, and school governance. These efforts are school-wide and should touch every student and all school personnel. They can include both comprehensive school reform and more specific school-based efforts such as service learning, life skills education, conflict resolution and violence prevention, social and emotional learning, education for the prevention of drug/alcohol abuse, sex education, education for civic virtue and social responsibility, and the development of moral reasoning. Of clear relevance also are multicultural education, social justice education, the ethics of environmental or technology education, religious education, and the like. The Journal will publish articles that report the results of research relevant to character education, as well as conceptual articles that provide theoretical, historical, and philosophical perspectives on the field of character education as it is broadlyDirections to Contributors All manuscripts submitted must conform to the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5th Edition. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced throughout, and printed onanbsp;...

Cometh the hour, cometh the last month before the endeth of termeth. There was a perceptible change in atmosphere and behaviour, as if the 'supermoon' was making everyone batshit crazy. One child was heaving tears as I arrived to collect the class. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Everyone keeps asking me what's wrong" she sobbed. We never did get to the bottom of that one.
Nobody was immune to the supermoon. A teaching assistant howled at me and waved her arms around like that bloke from Channel 4 racing. The builders next door upped the number of colourful metaphors they are teaching my class and a parent turned up to a meeting about the welfare of his child wearing a t-shirt with 'I'm up, I'm dressed, what more do you want?'.
A letter pertaining to be from 'Grandma' was on my desk. "Dear Sir" it read "A million, billion kisses from your Sexy Grandma". We didn't find the culprit and my Grandmother steadfastly refused to admit it was her, even after 14 hours of police questioning. Another letter was left by a supply teacher following a PE Lesson 'some children were tired after releasing energy and needed time to recover, others found the activity over stimulating and needed support to regain control'…
We overcame the moderation (the principle moderator was someone who had originally employed me to the teaching pool, so any mistakes I made were ultimately her fault) and an observation (a bemused guest observer drifted from a desk where a child could not count beyond 8 to another doing simultaneous fractions with equations. He gave me enough of a sympathetic look to know that I could have taken a dump on my desk and still be given a pass).
We also went for a day trip to the farm. The emphasis was on the washing of hands. This is second nature to me; the autistic child in my class often scratches his arse with his hand, before giving it to me to hold. I was more concerned about the devil child to the extent that I'd mentioned in the risk assessment form that he might 'punch a goat' or 'choke a chicken'.
Although the livestock escaped any of his happy slaps, some of the children did not. At the end of day the father came to pick the devil child up but allow me to digress…when I was a kid I did a work placement at a vets. I was once asked to hold a dog while the vet stuck something up its arse. Why do I mention this? Well, the face the dog pulled was now the same face I was seeing before me.
As the father tore into him, the child naturally began to cry. "Don't you dare cry in front of me!" the father roared. The child stopped. The desperate expression on that Yorkshire Terrier's face was now mirrored in the child's. Straining to hold back the tears, he used a technique he'd probably used a thousand times before. It worked. He didn't cry.
Sometimes something happens which just makes everything fall into place. The tantrums, throwing of chairs, punching of random children, well it doesn't take an expert to know why this was happening.
I have one month to finish my hardest year of teaching, yeah I know I've only taught for two, but allow me to dye cress…yeah it's a weird hobby but it's all I have.

991 Turbo Y-Pipe Prototype Ready for Testing
The New 991 Turbo Y-Pipe from IPD has been without question the most challenging and complex product ever produced by IPD. The extensive R & D and prototyping process has required tremendous perseverance combined with state-of-the-art technology to design the absolute best possible Y-Pipe that will yield optimum flow for both stock and modified 991 Turbos. This larger Y-Pipe has uniquely reconfigured runners with a dimpled interior surface for improved Laminar flow, power and torque. This Turbo Y-Pipe will be a true "Bolt On" performance component just like our 997 Turbo Y-Pipes.
Testing the prototype Y-Pipe is scheduled for this month (April). If the new Y-Pipe delivers the performance gains that are expected, mass production will begin immediately. Barring any issues, final manufactured units should be available in late May. Final pricing has yet to be established but the complexity and manufacturing process will most likely price it above our current Turbo Y-Pipes.
Until then, 991 Turbo owners will have to be satisfied with the very potent 991 Turbo IPD Plenum that delivers an additional 35+ WHP.

Posts from 'CCNA Voice'
A few days ago, Cisco officially launched a completely new certification track centered around its entire Medianet portfolio -calling it simply the "Video" track- consisting of Unified Communications and TelePresence Video Conferencing products, along with Digital Media Signage and IP Video Surveillance. This track currently only offers the CCNA Video certification, however I doubt they will stop there.
This track seems to follow the CCNA Data Center in that it does not require you to certify at the CCENT level before attaining this CCNA Video, however it does require you to pass the 640-461 ICOMM, which is the same exam required to become a CCNA Voice (which by the way is a product that INE happily gives away for free in streaming mode and is also available for download at a nominal price). The second exam you must take and pass is a brand new one – the 200-001 VIVND. This exam is broken down into a two-phased learning approach by Cisco, the first giving you basic understanding of video-based systems, and the second diving a bit wider into four of Cisco's specific Medianet product suites, namely Cisco Unified Communication and Collaboration, Cisco TelePresence, Cisco Digital Media Suite (DMS), and Cisco Video Surveillance (all links are for the design guides, not just basic product info). Passing this exam also gives you a specialist cert, being that of a Cisco Video Network Specialist.
As mentioned before, it seems highly unlikely that they will stop at only CCNA Video, likely continuing on to include CCNP Video and finally to add a CCIE Video certification at some unknown point in time. I don't know about you – but I would venture to guess that the CCIE Video -when it comes- will be the most QoS-heavy cert of them all to date, considering all of the different LAN QoS classes presented in the excellent document Tim Szigeti and team spent 3 years putting together and refining in the Medianet Design Guide. Now I simply wonder if we'll see a Catalyst 6509-E in the CCIE Video exam, or a Nexus 5K/7K.

A number of people had indicated that they thought my CCNA-to-CCIE-in-a-Year program was a bit aggressive for those with both family and job life to consider, so I've revised the plan into an 18-month plan, and also added a downloadable XLS spreadsheet to assist you in your studies. Simply plug in your starting date, and the spreadsheet should keep you on task on a week-by-week basis. Here's the link to my previous blog post where you'll find the updated plan to download, as well as links to all of the products used in the plan: From CCNA Voice to CCIE Voice in One Year – A Detailed Study Plan – REVISED Dec 31, 2012

Cisco keeps giving this week by allowing any desktop to join – for free – into any existing Telepresence video, and the quality of this video is really, really good. John Chambers recently said that Video is already the #1 traffic driver over Cisco's internal network, and that by 2013 it is expected that over 90% of all traffic over the internet will be based on Video. There's never been a better time to be training for Unified Communications!

We just can't stop! We've had such a positive response from you with all of our recent Voice program changes, that we just decided to keep it going! Now when you attend our newly formatted 10-Day CCIE Voice Bootcamp, you will receive absolutely everything you could possibly need to pass the exam – including Workbooks, VoDs, 2-Year All Access Pass subscription as well as 1500 CCIE Voice Rack Tokens.
It is a prerequisite that students have at least CCNA Voice level knowledge (you don't have to have the certification- just that level of knowledge), however due to our new new bootcamp format, it is no longer a prerequisite that students must have a CCNP Voice level knowledge – as I demonstrate absolutely everything they might be tested on in the Lab with the students live in class. This style of teaching would certainly help out anyone that is currently pursing their CCNP Voice exams as well. Also, since students are allowed to come back and take our 10-Day course again at no charge, this would mean that someone studying for CCNP Voice could sit for my class, then come back and sit for it again when they are later pursuing CCIE Voice.
Based on a comment below I realize that I should add that as soon as anyone completes a purchase of any 10-Day Bootcamp, they receive all of the above material including rack tokens to get them started in their studies right away.
We've also added a new date in Dubai, UAE coming this Nov/Dec, as well as a date in London, UK in Sept, and we will be coming back to both Dubai and London regularly at least 2 times per year.

Due to the positive reaction that we had giving free access away to our CCNA Voice video streaming product during the month of March, and our belief that once you watch that product and use it to pass your CCNA Voice exam that you will come back to us for all your CCNP Voice and CCIE Voice needs, we've decided to leave it as a free product indefinitely. We hope this is just one more way that we can both give back to our community, as well as showcase what's in store for you with the rest of our Voice line of products.

In addition to the 5 CCIE R&S Scholarships that Brian Dennis announced last week, we have decided to add on 2 more scholarships, specifically for the CCIE Voice track. Just like Brian with R&S, I will personally select two people to receive everything they need to pass the CCIE Voice Lab Exam (Newly-formatted 10-Day CCIE Voice bootcamp, Voice Rack tokens, Voice workbooks, all Voice-related videos for CCNA Voice, CCNP Voice and CCIE Voice, along with CCIE Voice Mock Assessment Labs). This includes paying for their actual lab exam fee once they feel ready to attempt it. Using these products will be straightforward as you work along a clearly defined path to the CCIE Voice Lab Exam.
We are excited to be able to give back to the community in this way, and we are excited to see how it has changed lives. In fact, I recently had the privilege of having one of the winners from Brian and Brian's previous CCIE Scholarship program – Mr. Jeriel Atienza from Angola – in my recent 10-Day CCIE Voice bootcamp in Dubai. He had passed the CCIE Routing and Switching, which had changed him and his new family's life in such a positive way, and he was back for more with the CCIE Voice. It was very nice to see an up-close-and-personal example of how such a thing can really help someone.
As Brian mentioned, more information including how to enroll into this scholarship program will be shortly forthcoming.

With the recent advent of the new 2.0 version CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Wireless certifications, as well as the (probably more notable) CCIE Data Center being announced this week (something that we reported to you first 8 months ago), INE is proud to announce that we are developing training for both of these prestigious Cisco certification tracks. We should have CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Wireless products all covering the new 2.0 version by this summer, and we will be purchasing at least one complete Data Center rack and develop courseware surrounding that new CCIE as well. We will evaluate the market, and our costs to asses if it is feasible to procure more CCIE Data Center racks for rental at that time.
Also we should note that we have just finished up 62 hours of a brand new CCNP Voice v8 bootcamp that will be available for stream or download next week, and that our new CCNP Security bootcamp is being filmed beginning on Monday, April 30, and should be available for stream or download the following week. Also that we will be adding 2 new CCIE Voice labs to our Volume II workbook here in the next month (one in about a week and one in about 3 weeks), and lastly (but by no means even close to least) that we are on track to release the new CCIE SPv3 workbook by the end of next week.
We look forward to working with all of you in your certification endeavors!

Just ahead of our brand new CCNA Voice live online bootcamp beginning this Monday, I thought it might be nice to provide an easy-to-follow graphic for those starting out in Voice (or on any other Cisco networking track). This graphic was from last year, but remains quite easy to follow for each and every Cisco track.
Be sure you have a high resolution set if you wish to see the entire thing, otherwise scrolling may be necessary.

We all have our storms.
Many of us would rather avoid weathering a storm because it's difficult to do so. But is doing it "safe" really for the better?
I read a funny article today which said that some government officials pray for typhoons, as their called in the Asia-Pacific region, in order for the "non-existent water shortage" to be solved. Confused? I was too. Basically, they're saying that we have a problem, but they're also saying we don't. Still confused? Yeah, me too.
In any case, weather storms are unavoidable, especially in a country right smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, weather storms are caused by natural phenomenon, from the movement of moisture and of the winds and also the pressure systems on both land and sea. They are foreseeable but and are in no way controllable. These facts lie in stark contrast to the storms of life which often come out of the blue that you don't see them coming. The causes of life storms come from different places, like our choices, society, family, friends, lovers, exams, school, the weather, and of course from God.
But what links them both is that, even though there might be damage in their wake, in the end they'd have given us something in return. Water and character. Both of which are essential to life.
So, how have you been faring?
Have you been running from what you need?
Everyone needs a good storm or two, once in a while–just to keep things interesting =)

"This is an Emeril Recipe that I changed a little bit. My friends love it."
Roasted Garlic Rosemary Chicken
2 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 55mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large chicken (open range if you can get it)
- 6 -8 garlic heads
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (fresh ground)
- Cut the top 1/4 off of the garlic heads so that the tops of the cloves are exposed. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them well with olive oil.
- Preheat oven to 350°, cook garlic for about 40 minutes or until you see that the garlic cloves have browned, and the head itself is soft. Remove and let cool for handling.
- Wash chicken and place in baking pan breast up.
- With the handle of a wooden spoon, or anything that will slide without tearing the skin, separate the skin from the meat starting at the lower breast, and taking your time until you have loosened all the skin that you can reach.
- Make a small cut in the skin on top of the drumsticks, and insert the spoon into the cut, loosening all the skin on the legs and thighs.
- Gently squeeze all the garlic heads into a blender, the cloves will be soft and will slide out of the shell easily.
- Add the juice from half the lemon, the rosemary, and black pepper.
- Turn the blender on low and after mixture is working, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture. Stop when mixture is mixed.
- Using either your fingers, a pastry bag, or however you can do it, (I just use my fingers and a spoon) insert about half of the mixture under the chicken skin and then gently press down on it to spread it around evenly under the skin.
- Place onion and lemon inside the chicken, tie legs together, wipe the outside lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Emeril's essence to taste.
- Bake in preheated oven at 350° for about 50 minutes or until almost done and the outside is browning nicely.
- Remove chicken and spread the remaining mixture over the chicken to cover.
- Return to oven and cook until the surface is browned and the chicken is tender.

Quick Reference
A landlocked country of central South America. It is bounded by Brazil and Paraguay to the north and east, Argentina to the south, and Peru and Chile to the west.
In the south-west is a great plateau, the Altiplano, some 800 km (500 miles) long and 3,660 m (12,000 feet) high, set between two even loftier ranges of the Andes. At its northern end is the southern shore of a huge mountain lake, Titicaca, while in the south there are vast salt pans. The north-east by contrast has low plains with hot, wet rainforest and several navigable rivers. Southward the ground rises to plains which are covered with woodland and grass.
The mountains of Bolivia offer large deposits of minerals: mining is the principal industry, and the country is developing its capacity to smelt mineral ore. Other industry includes chemicals, textiles, and food-processing. Natural gas accounts for 60% of exports, while tin, of which Bolivia is one of the world's largest producers, provides another 30%. Bolivia produces enough petroleum for internal consumption. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy despite periodic droughts and floods. Principal crops are sugar cane, potatoes, and maize. The coca plant, from the leaves of which the drug cocaine is produced, grows freely; it is smuggled to Colombia for processing. Bolivia's economy has suffered from protracted political instability, fluctuating commodity prices, a large external debt, high inflation, and lack of investment.
The area became an important Ayamará Indian state between 600 and 1000 ad but was conquered by the growing Inca state c.1200. Some Ayamará continued to resist, however, and were not completely subdued until the late 15th century, Spanish conquest followed six years after Francisco Pizarro's landing in Peru in 1532, and in 1539 the capital at Charcas (modern Sucre) was founded. The discovery of silver deposits in the Potosí mountains in 1545 led to the establishment of the Audiencia (a high court with a political role) of Charcas, under the viceroyalty of Peru. Revolutionary movements against Spain occurred here earlier than anywhere else in South America – at La Paz in 1661, Cochabamba in 1730, and Charcas, Cochabamba, La Paz, and Oruro in 1776–80 – but all failed.
Independence was finally won under José de Sucre, at the battle of Ayacucho (1824). A National Assembly declared Upper Peru independent, and named it Bolivia after Simón Bolívar. A short-lived Peru-Bolivian Confederation was formed (1825–39). Control of the Atacama coast region, where rich guano nitrate deposits were found, was challenged by Chile in 1842 and finally lost in 1884 in the disastrous War of the Pacific. A series of military dictatorships (1839–80) was succeeded by more liberal regimes, with Liberal and Republican Parties alternating. In 1930 a popular revolution elected a reforming President, Daniel Salamanca. In 1936, following the disastrous Chaco War, military rule returned. In 1952 the Bolivian National Revolution overthrew the dictatorship of the junta, and Paz Estenssoro, leader of the MNR (Movimento Nacionalista Revolucionario) Party returned from exile and was installed as President. Tin mines were nationalized, adult suffrage introduced, and a bold programme of social reforms begun. Paz was re-elected in 1960 but overthrown in 1964 by a military coup. In 1967 a communist revolutionary movement, led by Ché Guevara, was defeated. Military regimes followed each other quickly. Not all were right-wing, and that of General Juan José Torres (1970–71) sought to replace Congress by workers' soviets. Democratic elections were restored in 1978, when the first woman President, Lydia Guelier Tejada, briefly held office. There was another military coup in 1980 and a state of political tension continued until 1982, when civilian rule was restored. Since then a succession of Presidents – including the return of Paz Estenssoro (1985–89) and a former military dictator, Hugo Banzer (1997–2001) – has struggled with economic problems and the unrest caused by attempts to resolve them. Free-market reforms led to economic growth in the 1990s and vigorous action was taken against the cultivation of coca. However, progress stalled thereafter: economic growth slowed from 1999, and coca production increased in the early 21st century. In 2006 Juan Evo Morales became President and announced the nationalization of Bolivia's gas fields.

Motorola has been tearing it up lately. The Moto X was the first big revolution in the smartphone industry in quite a while, with a very basic approach to software, minor modifications to AOSP to add incredibly useful and unique features and a fully-customizable chassis that you could make your own. The Moto G was a huge step as well, bringing good hardware to the budget market with a price tag of only $180. But what's next for the company?
Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has spoken about the future of Moto Maker, or customizing future devices. The rumors of the Moto X were crazy, stating that everything from processor to screen size would be customizable. Instead we got a choice of colors and materials, which is still pretty impressive. However, Woodside says that is exactly what's next for the premium line of devices: things like screen size and functionality.
On the more premium side we're pushing more customisation. Today you have colours and beginning of materials but you don't have screen size and you don't have functionality and we're going to bring all that in in the next year or so.Dennis WoodsideMotorola
Motorola is also planning on taking another step towards the budget market. The $180 Moto G was a huge accomplishment, but Woodside wants to take things a step further by creating a $50 smartphone.
In much of the world $179 is a lot of money so there's a big market at a price point of less than $179. We're going to look at that and just delivering on that value promise is super important. I mean why can't these devices be $50? There's no reason that can't happen so we're going to push that.Dennis WoodsideMotorola
The prospect of a $50 smartphone that's actually usable is almost unbelievable but very exciting at the same time, and the fact that Moto Maker will be expanded to hardware specifications is every nerd's dream. What do you think of Motorola's future plans? Are they the future king of Android, where Samsung is going in a very anti-consumer direction? Leave a comment!

HP's iPAQ 900 Series Makes FCC Appearance
April 22, 2008
The long-awaited iPAQ 910 Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone from HP may be shipping soon.
That day may arrive sooner than later, if a recent appearance by the iPAQ 900 series on the the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Web site is any indication. It is significant because all devices slated to use American airwaves must receive a thumbs up from the FCC before shipping here.
The FCC site includes several images of the smartphone as well as its manual. As you'd expect the government agency doesn't indicate when this iPAQ model, which had been rumored for AT&T, may finally ship here.
There's a 3 megapixel camera with auto focus and 4x zoom and a microSD slot.
Inside the iPAQ 910 you'll find a 520MHz Marvell PXA270 processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of ROM, and a 1840 mAH Lithium Ion battery.
The smartphone measures 4.45 x 2.53 x 0.63 inches (113 x 64 x 16 millimeters) and weighs 5.15 ounces (146 grams).

Cage Pendant Light Shade White
Special Price £5.00
Pantone's 2016 Colour(s) of The Year are Rose Quartz & Serenity!
The status quo is changing, and the 'blue-for-boys-and-pink-for-girls' mentality is fast becoming a thing of the past. Since the Pantone announcement, these colours have been appearing just about anywhere you could imagine - from clothing and cosmetics, all the way through to interiors, it's a colour combo that's trending across the world!
This trend is all about freedom of expression, and these contrasting tones of light pink and baby blue are so on trend for 2016 that self-expression never looked so good! A versatile look, this trend can be interpreted easily with subtle uses of accessories and soft furnishings or - for the more daring among us - used to create a beautifully bold & vibrant interior.
Why not consider contrasting the two tones with a feature wall (soft blues contrasted with gorgeous pink printed wallpaper, for instance)? Or go bolder with a daring mix-and-match suite? Picture a stunning blue scandi-sofa brought to life with a statement Rose Quartz arm-chair. The colours sit beautifully with anything white or chrome, but if you're looking to try something unexpected, pair with copper fittings and accessories for a contemporary twist! Easily adapted for different ages and styles, this is a must-have trend for the trendiest among us. Fresh, youthful and full of fun - do you dare!?

Ironmongery such as locks latches and hinges are essential components of many fire door sets with ratings over FD30. Whilst essential for the operation of the fire door set such ironmongery introduces weaknesses to the door's overall performance unless some additional protection is applied over and above that afforded by the normal intumescent door edge seals. The performance weakness is due to premature burn through at ironmongery positions and at the upper and mid height hinge positions in particular. This has been recognised officially in BS8214:2008. THERMAHINGE offers a tailored solution to the problem by providing a pre-sized backing pad of intumescent material for fitting behind the hinge blades.
THERM-A-HINGE intumescent pads are produced from either from THERM-A-FLEX material to complement the protection offered by Intumescent Seals edge seals such as THERM-A-SEAL and THERM-A-STOP or from THERM-A-STRIP material where a lower level of intumescent expansion pressure is required. Both of these THERM-A-HINGE products are available made from 1mm or 2mm thick material and are supplied with self adhesive tape on one side as standard.
THERM-A-HINGE pads are fitted under each blade of the hinges of fire doors of FD60 specification and above. The rebates in the frame and leaf are cut deeper to accommodate the pad thickness i.e. 1 or 2mm. Fixing screws can be simply driven through the intumescent material.
THERM-A-HINGE pads make a critical contribution to the fire resistance of fire door sets of FD60 specification and above.
THERM-A-HINGE pads are available is the following standard sizes:
- THERMAFLEX 32mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMAFLEX 32mm x 2mm x 100mm
- THERMAFLEX 36mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMAFLEX 36mm x 2mm x 100mm
- THERMAFLEX 48mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMAFLEX 48mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 32mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 32mm x 2mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 36mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 36mm x 2mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 48mm x 1mm x 100mm
- THERMASTRIP 48mm x 2mm x 100mm
Test Evidence
The fire performance of THERM-A-HINGE has been proven in fire tests of several fire door set configurations to BS476-22:1987.

Need a little help on where to begin -researching Tiriac & Abenaki (Swanton, VT)
Hello - My family has always had a story of a family member marrying an Indian. My research thus far places my gggg grandfather Alexis Tiriac (Thiriac, Teriac, Thiriaque, or Thiriac dit Laforest) in Swanton VT upon his death. My question is where and who do I contact to find the connection to the Abenaki? I suspect the connection comes somewhere around my ggg grandfather (who is also an Alexis)and his marriage to Josphete Julia Commeau (como). They to lived in Swanton, VT area for a spell. My gggrandfather also changed his surname to Rapponeau while living in MA approx in the 1870's. It seemed to be a name he was given, since even his marriage record states called "Rapponeau".I would appreciate any help on where to begin.

Go see the Movie "42".
Okay, no, I'm not telling you what to do or anything. I'm just enthusiastic.
I got mad; I got madder; I got really mad. I laughed. I cheered (quietly). I cried (happily). I all but forgot to breathe for an hour and a half. Well, okay, I really did forget to breathe some of the time. And let me tell you, not breathing can be exhausting.
So, what is "42"? "42" was Jackie Robinson's baseball number. "42" is a movie about Jackie Robinson, which is par excellence! Bring your teens. It's PG-13, and you might not want your little ones to hear the language, especially the "n" word, repeated over and over by one man. About that? You picked up that I got mad, right? No, I wasn't mad at the producers. I was mad at the attitudes and actions of some of the people. Even though I already knew it was that way in history, it was painful to see it all come to life on the screen. But sometimes we need to see pain, to see how people have pushed through it.
This movie and all that it stands for is part of American History 101. Living and breathing history. This was life-changing US history! None of this life-changing history should have ever been necessary. But unfortunately it was.
Branch Rickie and Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese and others helped bring about change. Many were involved, and many showed courage, but what was most apparent, what was most essential to change the sports climate in America, was the courage of one man who didn't see himself as a hero, one man who just wanted to play baseball: Jackie Robinson.
I hope you will go see the movie.

Happy Bird Day, Kansas City!
As the birthday of jazz liberator Charlie Parker approaches (it's Friday), we're at the two-week mark in a citywide Charlie Parker Celebration.
And these last few days of the celebration bring some of its high points: a jam among some of the region's strongest musical personalities, the return of the graveside musical salute to Parker and a novel presentation of the Kansas City jazz story.
First, that novel way of addressing the city's jazz history. The Paul Mesner Puppets troupe has put together "Rag Swing Bop!," telling the tale in a new way.
Surely telling it with puppets is more entertaining than trapping people in a classroom and forcing them to listen to scratchy old records, right?
And by showing the whole evolution of Kansas City music from tubas and banjos to bebop saxophones, the show promises to demonstrate just why Parker still matters so much around the world.
The show, for young and not-so-young, will be performed at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday and at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday at the Gem Theater, 1615 E. 18th St. Tickets are $16 for adults, $10 for kids; check 816-235-6222 or PaulMesnerPuppets.org.
Across the street at the Blue Room, there's a high-level jam on Friday night involving three players who have done very different things with the Bird inheritance, but the idea of melding them into one band is too tempting to pass up.
Trumpeter Darryl White, trombonist Jason Goudeau and tenor saxophonist Matt Otto perform at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
Decades ago, some well-meaning people tried to institute a "21-sax salute" to Parker at his gravesite. It seemed like a fine idea at first, but within a few years the number of saxes involved slipped far below 21, and a few years after that the event was forgotten entirely.
This year, the sax salute is back, twice.
The first is at noon Friday at Lincoln Cemetery (on the west side of Blue Ridge Road north of 23rd Street), followed by a 2 p.m. reception at the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Heritage Center, 3700 Blue Parkway. The second is at noon Saturday at the cemetery, followed by a 2 p.m. reception at the Blue Room.
The other Parker Celebration events:
Thursday: Pianist Tim Whitmer's quartet, 6:30 p.m., Town Center Stage, Zona Rosa.
Saturday: Trumpeter Stan Kessler's group, at 7 p.m. at 12 Baltimore in the Hotel Phillips.
The early discount on tickets for Kansas City's 18th and Vine Jazz and Blues Festival on Oct. 11 ends soon. They're $10 through Tuesday. Check AmericanJazzMuseum.org or call 816-474-8463.
The Blue Room also has percussionist and singer Miguel "Mambo" DeLeon and Carte Blanc at 7 p.m. Thursday and bassist James Ward's band at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Drummer Brian Steever is in charge of the Monday jam at 7 p.m.
Highlights at the Green Lady Lounge, 1809 Grand Blvd., include the group BVibe at 9 p.m. Thursday; organist Chris Hazelton's Boogaloo 7 at 10 p.m. Friday; pianist Eddie Moore and his Outer Circle band at 6 p.m. Saturday, followed by organist Ken Lovern's OJT at 10 p.m.; the Foundation 627 Big Band at 8 p.m. Sunday; bassist Karl McComas-Reichl's trio at 8 p.m. Monday; keyboardist Bram Wijnands' B3 Bombers at 9 p.m. Tuesday; and OJT again at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Highlights at the Broadway Jazz Club, 3601 Broadway, include singer Shay Estes at 6 p.m. Thursday; tenor saxophonist Steve Lambert honoring Charlie Parker at 7 p.m. Friday; singer Megan Birdsall at 7 p.m. Saturday; and the Sons of Brasil at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Take Five Coffee + Bar, 5336 W. 151st St. in Leawood, has vibraphonist Peter Schlamb's quartet at 8 p.m. Friday and sax man Brett Jackson's quartet at 8 p.m. Saturday.
There's a new jam session in town, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Mondays at Hayward's Pit Bar-B-Que, 11051 Antioch Road, Overland Park; reedman Todd Wilkinson is the leader.
Pianist and singer Dan Doran is the guest on the Spirituality and All That Jazz concert series, at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Unity Temple on the Plaza, 707 W. 47th St.
A guest from the Pacific Northwest, alto saxophonist, flutist and second-generation jazzman Mark Lewis, joins pianist Bram Wijnands on his gig at the Majestic Restaurant, 931 Broadway, at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
