Scarlett Johansson's pregnancy has given the actress' look-a-like stunt doubles a job boost - instead of one, she has three for the new The Avengers movie.
Co-star Chris Evans, who portrays Captain America in the film, admits Johansson's all-action sidekicks look so much like the actress, he often mistakes them for the real deal.
He explains, "You walk by her (and say), 'Hey, Scarlett - oh, weird. You're not Scarlett at all. Sorry'. There are a lot of fake Scarletts around."
And director Joss Whedon insists fans won't be able to tell that his leading lady is pregnant when the film comes out, telling Entertainment Weekly magazine, "She's not going to spend the whole movie carrying groceries. We didn't trim any scenes. We're like, 'We'll make it work'."
The actress, who portrays Black Widow in the Marvel movies, is expecting her first child with fiance Romain Dauriac.

There is black smoke billowing out from underneath the Mayo Bridge. And while there is no official word, I am speculating this might potentially be coming from the large homeless camp under the bridge.
Manchester has had a series of hobo/homeless camp fires. Last February there was a fire at the old hobo camp close to SunTrust. Through an anonymous source we were informed this fire was the result of a turf war by the homeless folks.
Let's hope no one is injured and that the bridge has not been damaged.

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Choosing Electives
As your child moves through middle school, they have the opportunity to choose what classes or courses to take. They can choose what semester to take those electives as well. From eighth grade through twelfth, students are guided by the school counselor to choose courses based on graduation requirements. Parents can help in this process as well. Within those requirements are options to meet the needs and interest of each student. At the end of the school year, your child may bring home an "elective" sheet to mark their choices for the following school year. Go through the available courses with your child. Discuss with your child their interests, what course they may prefer over others and suggestions provided by your child's guidance counselor. Electives are not just extensions of foundational courses of Mathematics, English Language Arts or Social Studies, they are avenues to learn what your child may someday have a career in.

Bobbi Kristina Brown was never legally married to her partner Nick Gordon, according to her family's lawyer.
The only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was hospitalized over the weekend (31Jan15-01Feb15) after Gordon found her unresponsive in a bathtub at the couple's home in Roswell, Georgia.
The Houston family has since released a statement saying Bobbi Kristina, 21, is "fighting for her life", and according to new reports, she has been moved from North Fulton Hospital to the Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
While her family has not given a further update on her health, Bobby Brown's legal counsel released a statement on Tuesday night (03Feb15) to clear up confusion over Bobbi Kristina's marital status.
The statement reads: "We are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina. To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon."
The My Prerogative hitmaker added, "We continue to request privacy in this matter. Please allow for our family to deal with this matter and give Bobbi Kristina the love and support she needs at this time."
Brown grew close to Gordon, who was informally adopted by Houston when her daughter was 12, following the superstar's death in 2012 and they have referred to each other as "husband" and "wife" in the past.

Keene State Shoots Past Southern Maine 84-65
GORHAM, Maine – Senior Tom Doyle (Wallingford, Conn./Notre Dame) scored a game-high 28 points to lead the Keene State College Owls to a 84-65 win over the University of Southern Maine Huskies in a Little East Conference men's basketball game Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Keene State improves to 15-4 overall and 6-3 in the Little East. The loss drops Southern Maine to 4-15 overall and 1-8 in the Little East.
Doyle knocked down a quartet of three-pointers as part of a 22 point first half for the Owls, guiding KSC to a dominating 54-29 halftime lead. With Doyle taking the lead role, the Owls shot 57.1 percent (16-for-28) from the field in the opening stanza and a red-hot 62.5 percent (5-for-8) from three-point range. Junior Nate Howard (Cheshire, Conn.) added 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds, while sophomore Matt Ozzella (Medway, Mass.) tossed in 12 points.
Juniors Cole Libby (Buxton, Maine/Bonny Eagle) and Jacob Littlefield (Mechanical Falls, Maine/Poland Regional) each scored 18 points to lead USM. Sophomore Fred Knight (Hampden, Maine/Hampden Academy) added nine points and five rebounds.
The Huskies, who shot well in the first half at 44.0 percent (11-for-25), but were trumped by KSC's 17-for-18 effort from the free throw line and three-point shooting. The Huskies' were 5-for-9 from the charity stripe in the first half.
Facing a significant deficit in the second half, trailing by 62-32 early, Southern Maine scrapped its way back into a 13-point game with 5:23 to play. Down 68-43 with 11:54 to play after a jumper from sophomore Jaquel Edwards (Manchester, Conn.), Southern Maine strung together 16-6 run to fight its way back into the game. Libby scored nine of his 18 points in the run.
KSC's lead proved to be too much however, as the Owls answered back with five consecutive points to lead 79-61 with four to go. The Huskies never got closer than 16 points the rest of the way.
KSC finished the game shooting 52.7 percent (29-for-55) from the field and 91.3 percent (21-for-23) from the free throw line. Southern Maine shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor and 71.4 percent (15-for-21) from the free throw line.
Southern Maine travels to Colby College on Tuesday (7:30 p.m.) for a non-conference game. Keene State heads to Middlebury College for a non-conference game (7:00 p.m.) on Tuesday.

Fountains of Youth
One of the earth's gifts: mineral water from its core.
By Deborah Burstyn
Hot springs resorts in the West tend to be rustic and earthy. No fluffy robes and slippers. Most offer overnight accommodations, but several are close enough to make it a day trip. After a day of soaking in the mineral rich springs, you'll be relaxed and rejuvenated.
Wilbur Hot Springs
A two-hour drive north to the Clear Lake area is all it takes to get to Wilbur Hot Springs. Tucked away off a gravel mountain road, there's no cell service or Wi-Fi here, so print or jot down direction. This remote property is idyllically eco-rustic and a refuge from the noise of everyday life. Cabins and hotel rooms offer airy overnight accommodations. After check in, head down to the hot springs with caution—some guests dip naked. This refuge of contemplation, is not a place for kids. At its heart is big barn-like building with three long and deep troughs of mineral water in varying degrees—staff adjusts the 148° F temperature emerging from the earth by managing the flow into 98° F, 105° F, and 109° F tubs. Start in the most temperate and work up to the hottest, then finish the experience with a plunge into the icy cold waters of the resort's swimming pool. DETAILS: Open 10am-5pm daily. Day use includes hot springs, pool, sauna and nature preserve, $59/per person. Rooms run $125 to $250 per night. Reservations required. 3375 Wilbur Springs Rd, Williams, 530.473.2306, wilburhotsprings.com.
Vichy Springs
Indian Springs ResortWithout traffic or wine-tasting stops, the scenic drive up Highway 29 to Calistoga takes only 90-minutes from Walnut Creek. Although many plush resorts dot the gorgeous landscape, Indian Springs Resort stands out for its location within minutes of beautiful Napa Valley wineries, boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries. Indian Springs is known for its rare, substantial natural resources, which have inspired a long tradition of healing and renewal. Built in 1910, the centerpiece is an Olympic-sized, mineral swimming pool fed from four onsite geysers, and kept at 102 degrees in the winter. It also features mud baths fed by onsite mineral waters and pure volcanic ash deposits from the eruption of Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Konocti thousands of years ago. A recent multi-million dollar makeover added plush new guest rooms and bungalows plus the property's first restaurant, Sam's Social Club, featuring rustic American cuisine. Definitely a place to indulge in an overnight stay. DETAILS: Reservations required. Public pool hours 10am-7pm. Pool day use available only with purchase of a spa treatment such as a mud bath for $95. Overnight room rates start at $309 per night. 1712 Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga, 707.942.4913, indianspringscalistoga.com.
One of our favorite destinations, Calistoga Hot Springs,
opens its arms to families with a relaxed vibe and affordable pricing. It's a
great place to bring kids, with contemporary kitchenette-equipped rooms and a
90° F baby pool with a gentle waterfall. Although the resort is closed until
March for a massive spa renovation, when they reopen plan to spend time in the
famed Calistoga mineral waters in one of the four geothermal pools and indulge
in a massage or mud bath. Pool temperatures range from 104° F to 80° F and sips
from Calistoga sparkling mineral waters cool guests. DETAILS: Closed January-March for spa renovations. Otherwise, open
10am-9pm daily. Complimentary day use of pools with purchase of a spa
treatment; $25 day use fee for a guest not getting a spa treatment; mud bath
$65. Rooms start at $265 per night. 1006 Washington Street, Calistoga,
866.822.5772, calistogaspa.com.
Calistoga Hot Springs
Words of Warning
Warning #1: A dip in a real hot spring may spoil you for life. Once you've immersed yourself into the silky steamy water from the earth's core, you may never want to set foot in a chlorinated Jacuzzi again. Even if it's your own.
Warning #2: If you want to experience hot springs, go to a legit resort with temperatures approved for human use. Do not jump into some random hole in the desert. You could end up the bouquet garni in a simmering soup of geothermal minerals and not live to talk about it. Pay the day use fee and be safe.

April 2015
Outlook Graphic: PNG PDF
Latest Monthly Assessment -
As the winter wet season winds down in the West, little if any significant improvement in current drought conditions is expected during April. In the northern and central
Great Plains, current soil moisture deficits range from 1-5 inches across the western Corn Belt. The CPC updated 30-day outlook for April favors below-median precipitation
in this region. Therefore, drought development is anticipated, especially in Nebraska and South Dakota. Across the southern Plains, forecasts out to 30-days favor
above-median precipitation amounts for approximately the southeastern two-thirds of Texas and southeastern Oklahoma. Above-median precipitation is also favored for the
central Gulf Coast region. Areas of moderate drought (D1) across these regions are expected to be upgraded by one category, resulting in drought removal. It is thought
that the core drought area (D3 and D4) encompassing western portions of Oklahoma and north-central Texas is unlikely to receive a 1-category improvement during the month
of April, and is expected to persist. Drought is forecast to persist and/or intensify in extreme southern Florida, during the height of the climatological dry season. In
Hawaii, the spring season is generally a somewhat drier time of year, and it will be difficult to achieve a one-category improvement in the current drought conditions
across the islands.
Tools used in the U.S. Monthly Drought Outlook (MDO) included the official Climate Prediction Center (CPC) updated temperature and precipitation outlooks
for April 2015,, various short- and medium-range forecasts and models such as the 7-day
precipitation totals from the Weather Prediction Center (WPC), the 6-10 day and 8-14 day CPC forecasts, week 3 and 4 experimental outlooks, the NAEFS precipitation
outlooks, dynamical models (CFSv2), the 384-hour total precipitation forecasts from several runs of the GFS, climatology, the latest official Drought Monitor
analysis (released on March 26), observed precipitation during the previous month, and initial conditions.
As the wet season undergoes its annual transition to the dry season in the western contiguous U.S., precipitation amounts accordingly decline, with the Pacific
Northwest being the region that typically receives the last of the winter season's storms. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) forecasts 2-4 inches of precipitation
during the next 7-days across the mountainous terrain of both Washington and Oregon. This precipitation, and the week 2 outlook favoring above-median precipitation,
in addition to whatever else is received over the second half of April, is expected to preclude the development of any additional drought. Persistence of current
drought areas is anticipated for the West primarily due to a drier climatology.
Forecast confidence for the West is moderate to high.
Little to no precipitation is predicted across the Four Corners region during the first week of April, and odds favor below-median precipitation for week 2. CPC's
updated monthly outlook for April depicts Equal Chances (EC) of below, near, and above-median precipitation. Climatology favors a rapid decline in precipitation
during April, generally followed by dryness in May and almost all of June, before the traditional onset of the Southwest summer monsoon. Persistence/Intensification
of current drought areas is therefore anticipated for this region.
Forecast confidence for the Four Corners states is moderate to high.
Below-median precipitation is predicted on all time-scales out through 30-days for most of the northern and central Great Plains, with odds favoring above-median
precipitation for much of the Upper Midwest. CPC's updated monthly outlook for April depicts an elevated chance of below-median precipitation for most of this region,
centered on South Dakota and Nebraska. The updated temperature outlook indicates EC for the northern Plains and Upper Midwest, and above-normal mean temperatures in
the central Plains. The latest North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) ensemble mean, dated March 22, 2015, shows near-current soil moisture anomalies in
the root zone (top 1 meter of soil) ranging from 25-75 mm (1-3 inches) across central and eastern sections of the Dakotas and Nebraska, with even greater
anomalies (75-125 mm, 3-5 inches) over southern Minnesota. CPC's Constructed Analog on Soil moisture (CAS) outlook for the end of April favors the driest conditions
across the Upper Midwest, eastern South Dakota, and Kansas. The area that appears most ripe for drought development in April includes South Dakota and Nebraska,
which is indicated accordingly on the monthly drought outlook map. Although it is still early in the growing season, this area (the western Corn Belt) will need to be
monitored for potential drought development during the spring season.
Forecast confidence for the northern and central Great Plains, and upper Midwest, is moderate.
In the southern Plains, above-median rainfall is favored for approximately the southeastern two-thirds of Texas, and southeastern one-third of Oklahoma, by most
precipitation guidance out to 30-days. Accordingly, areas of moderate drought (D1) are predicted to be removed in the extreme southern and eastern portions of
ongoing drought areas across Texas, and for extreme northwestern Arkansas, with some support from the regional climatology for April. No significant improvement is
anticipated for the core drought region (D3 and D4) in western Oklahoma and north-central Texas.
Forecast confidence for the southern Great Plains is moderate.
Above-median rainfall is expected for most of the central Gulf Coast region at all time-scales out through 30 days, resulting in drought removal. Interestingly,
southeastern Louisiana seems to miss out on the more substantial rainfall amounts during the first week in April, and this same area also has some support from April
precipitation climatology. However, it is unclear whether or not these factors will be enough to override the predicted above-median precipitation amounts at Week 2
and in CPC's updated 30-day precipitation outlook. In extreme southern Florida, the traditional height of the dry season warrants the persistence and/or
intensification of drought conditions there.
Forecast confidence for the central Gulf Coast and interior South Florida is moderate.
In Hawaii, climatology favors a somewhat drier period relative to the antecedent winter season. It will be difficult to get significant drought relief for the
islands in April, therefore the expectation of persistence and/or intensification of current drought areas. Though there is no drought at the present time in Alaska,
there are several things to note. In the east-central Interior, snowpack was near normal on March 1, and precipitation this month has been near to above median. The
eastern Kenai Peninsula has also fared well, with Water-Year-To-Date (WYTD) precipitation (since October 1, 2014) generally near normal. An area of concern, however,
is the southern Southeast, where a continuing lack of snow at elevation could pose a problem for small hydropower operations if precipitation is significantly
below-median during the late spring and early summer. In Puerto Rico, the spring signals the start of the traditional rainy season, as the ITCZ undergoes its seasonal
northward migration toward the area. This is expected to preclude any expansion or intensification of current dryness.
Forecast confidence for Hawaii is moderate to high.

[rare but obligatory gym selfie]
In the last few weeks i've had a few of my peoples express they had no idea how serious i am about my physical training. I guess because I don't particularly post or talk about it that much, its just always been a part of my life, and I'm not very exhibitionist about my "results". Here are some fun factoids around why and how I train:
- Close to six years ago, I was diagnosed with gout. It changed my life. This is a terrible disease I would not wish on my worst enemy, but it has been a blessing in numerous ways. I had always been on my physical discipline before this (see #3), but this diagnosis forced me to treat my health as an exact science and be in constant communication with my body, monitor joint health and master the art of controlling my blood pH. Part of keeping this demon at bay is a regular, structured workout routine that promotes strong circulation. Because of this, I am now stronger and more aware of how my body works than ever before… but I am also always living in the shadow of the idea that at any minute I could be temporarily debilitated by crippling pain and thrown into the depression that comes with these attacks, which sometimes last months… I am only in the past year or so learning how to control my emotions in spite of acute physical pain, which is another blessing the universe has given me through challenge.
- As a stage performer, one of my biggest fears is being stiff and giving less than a graceful performance. It's also one of my pet peeves to see stage performers who have "let themselves go" and aren't even TRYING be in good shape to perform for their fans. Since I'm a vocalist and frontman who doesn't play an instrument, I have to do more than just standing and delivering a vocal performance. It needs to be a physical, fluid, visually captivating experience for the people (who have hopefully paid money) to watch me perform. This requires lots of training and fine tuning my body language for stage. I spend lots of time on this and incorporate these philosophies into my workouts, because it's my job as a performing artist to stay on point. I take that very seriously.
- When I was 9 years old I started designing my own workouts and warm-ups that were a mixture of calisthenics, yoga and tai chi. I kept a running journal of my routines and added to over the years. Throughout my whole life I have fine tuned this workout and picked up other disciplines and sports along the way…. hapkido, capoeira angola, tsing-i + chi kung (also known as taoist yoga), five harmonies style tai chi, and muay thai (my favorite), to name a few… of course lots of weight training, and many random workout programs I won't list… just adding on and developing my own discipline. I have maybe close to a dozen stretches I'm pretty sure you won't ever see anywhere else unless you're training with me. As of now I'm on a six-week program to get my cardio back up for stage, and then I'll resume the two-year calisthenics strength training program I started at the end of 2014. My goal is to eliminate weight training in the name of extending the life of my joints, so I can stay active and limber well into old age. Now 30 years deep into this creative journey, I have my very own style and variety of exercise, it is a very sacred and spiritual thing to me, it's how I keep my energy up and my creativity flowing. Many of my ideas have come in the middle of a workout.
- I am not interested in strength for strength's sake. Master Dragon Bruce taught us that strength is only useful when it can be applied to real life situations, and anything else is extra. One of the many things Muay Thai taught me is that it's not about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep your composure. This is not just in the ring, but in life. I am more interested in being able to carry children out of a burning building while running and not lose my breath. I would like to be ready to jump, crawl and fight my way out of a lion's den if I wake up in one and can't sneak out quietly. I would like to know that if I need to, I can choke a wolf unconscious with my bare hands and then quickly climb up a tree or a sheer cliff face and stay awake for the next 12 hours without food or water while I wait for help. If I have to walk 50 miles to forage for food, I don't need to be carrying around extra muscles that I'll never use and get hungry every few minutes. I need to know I can think clearly, react with physical intelligence, and call on my reflexes in a variety of ways in various situations out in the wild. These are the things I think about when I train. To me, this is part of what it means to be a Dragon. It's not just something I call myself.

Peak P
In approximately 30 years, as production from the worlds phosphate rock reserves reaches a maximum, Western Saharas geopolitical importance will become even more important. Australian researcher Dana Cordell investigates peak phosphorus.
Published: 22.07 - 2008 11:32
Printer version
The world population is addicted to phosphorus, just as we are addicted to water or energy. We will always need it to produce food, explains Dana Cordell, PhD candidate at the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney.
But current global phosphate rock reserves could reach a maximum in production in only 30 years. Then what?, asks Cordell.
Despite phosphorus being a crucial part of the world economy, there is almost a complete lack of international discussion on phosphate scarcity in the world, or about its strategic geopolitical importance, according to Cordell.
Phosphorus (P) is a chemical element that is normally found in phosphate rock. Morocco is the biggest phosphate rock exporter in the world, and much of it is exported from occupied Western Sahara in violation of international law.
Cordell and her research colleagues have this week launched a new website, www.phosphorusfutures.net, dedicated to fostering debate on the environmental sustainability and on the geopolitical play involved in the production and management of phosphorus resources.
The website is part of the Global Phosphorus Research Initiative (GPRI), a joint research project between the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), and the Department of Water and Environmental Studies at Linköping University, Sweden.
The prices that sky-rocketed
The last 15 months have seen more than a 700% increase in global phosphate rock prices. But this could be only the beginning. Cordell believes the price is likely to continue rising in the years to come.
One of the reasons for the past years price hike, is that there are more mouths to feed. Secondly, particularly in emerging economies like China and India, there is a rapid change in peoples diet, whereby consumers are eating more meat and dairy, which is generally far more phosphorus intensive than producing grains or vegetables.
A third reason is that the phosphate price now is affected by the increasing oil price.
The current oil crisis has increased the general understanding that petroleum is a non-renewable and unsustainable resource. As a response, the market has developed alternative energy sources, such as biofuels, which many believe are renewable and respond to the limitations of petroleum. But many people have not realised that production of biofuels is dependent on fertilizers. And fertilizers are today completely dependent on another non-renewable and unsustainable resource, phosphate rock.
So the increased biofuel production has not only led to higher food-prices, but also a sudden increase in prices of phosphates.
But the worst could be yet to come
Phosphate rock reserves are highly geographically concentrated, and thus only exist under control of a small number of countries. The biggest are China, Morocco (who controls Western Sahara's reserves), and the US.
But China and the US struggle even to meet their own demands.
China has recently imposed a 135% export tariff to secure domestic fertilizer supply. This is likely to halt most exports from China. Simultaneously, US supplies keep getting smaller for every year. US used to be the biggest producer of phosphate rock. But now they have maximum 20 to 30 years left of their own phosphate rock deposits.
According to the US Geological Survey, US has for a number of years received 99% of their imported phosphate rock from Morocco/Western Sahara. At least since the end of the 80s, US has remained the biggest importer of phosphates from occupied Western Sahara, despite the fact that it is in violation of international law.
With US and China tightening its grip around their owned mined phosphates, and as the phosphate prices will continue to grow, the mines in Morocco and occupied Western Sahara will become increasingly important for world phosphate importers and for the global agriculture industry., Cordell says.
Western Saharas phosphate reserves will become a real gold mine for Morocco in the future, Cordell says.
Estimations from Cordell and her colleagues suggest that the phosphate production will peak around 2040. That is about same period as the proven deposits in occupied Western Sahara will come to an end.
Find alternative sources
While oil and other non-renewable natural resources can be substituted with other sources when they peak (like wind, biomass or thermal energy), phosphorus has no substitute in food production.
We will always need phosphorus. But it does not need to come from phosphate rock, Cordell says.
Studies carried out in Sweden and Zimbabwe shows that nutrients in one person's urine is sufficient to grow 50-100% of the food requirements of another person.

Morocco occupies the major part of its neighbouring country, Western Sahara. Entering into business deals with Moroccan companies or authorities in the occupied territories gives an impression of political legitimacy to the occupation. It also gives job opportunities to Moroccan settlers and income to the Moroccan government.

Parent-to-Student Career Conversations (Part II)
September 13th, 2013
As parents of college students, we often think that we have a diminished influence on our child. In my experience, I have seen many students who care so deeply about the opinions of their parents that they are unable to make a decision or think clearly on their own. Complicating it even further, many students are unable to talk to their parents about these issues. So the student often makes decisions based on what their parents "think" – but was never confirmed.
Here's another way for parents be a positive influence in the career conversations with their students.
The right questions lead to the right answers
The first, foundational step in the career development process is for an individual to understand themselves – their unique interests, values, strengths, personality and talents. Many students – and people for that matter – are unable to answer the question "Tell me about yourself?" in a manner that demonstrates clarity of career direction. Most often, it's because few students have been given the opportunity to think about and reflect on it. Parents can assist in this process.
We parents often make the mistake of thinking our children need reminders and to do lists to activate their career and job search process. We focus on "what' they need to do. Instead, we need to help students develop their own answers for "why". "Why is thinking about my job and career search important to me?"
We must be thoughtful in how to guide students develop their own positive motivations working on their job and career search. Parental approval or fear of parent reprisal is not a healthy approach – for the student or for the parent-student relationship. If we truly want to foster mature, independent adults, we must appeal to deeper, stronger and more intrinsic motivations for career exploration and development so that it's something they want to do. You may have experienced that the more you push your child to do something, the more they resist it.
When your student asks for your opinion or answer to their career question, resist the temptation to answer immediately. Instead, answer with a question like, "What are your thoughts on this?" or "Tell me a little more about the situation." With more dialogue, you may find that your student has already discovered a reasonable solution. At a minimum, you will have more information from which you can provide an answer – one that is built on their perceptions and reality, not yours.
Be curious and listen carefully. Ask neutral questions that help you understand how they think and what motivates them. Re-state and re-phrase to confirm their thoughts to validate their thinking. Students yearn to be truly heard and understood – and this approach will help them go beyond the job search checklist to creating the motivation to thoughtfully and productively engage in the career process while on campus and throughout life.
There are two types of love, conditional and unconditional. We all know what type we prefer. Before having career conversations, remember which type of love you have for your child – and then demonstrate this spirit in your questions, your tone, your body language, and your intentions. During this key time of your student's life, every communication you have with him/her can have significant impact.

For a disabled person to qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), they have to meet the asset and incomes limits, apart from fulfilling the SSA's criteria for disability. Unlike Social Security Disability benefits, SSI is a program based on an individual's needs and is available to people with limited resources. These resources may include cash or money in your bank, real estate, bonds and stocks, and any other asset with a monetary value.
Eligibility for SSI
To qualify for this program, the disabled person must have countable resources less than $2,000. In the case of a couple, it should be less than $3,000. Items that may not be included in the calculation of countable resources include:
- Your primary home
- Some personal and household items
- Life insurance policy with face value of $1,500 or less per person
- One vehicle used for transportation purposes
- Any property that you or your partner uses to carry out certain jobs or business activities
- Your burial plots or of your immediate family members
SSI limit for Income
The income limit for obtaining SSI is equal to the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). For an individual in 2017, it is $735 per month, while for a couple it is $1,103. The benefit amount changes almost every other year. You should keep in mind that not all income comes under countable resources and if you earn more than this figure, you may still be eligible for SSI.
In certain situations, the SSA may also take into account the income of household members living with the SSI recipient. If your spouse doesn't receive SSI some part of their income will be counted when calculating your countable income. In the case of a disabled child who applies for SSI, some of the parent's income will be considered as the child's income.
What are State Supplements?
The state you live in also determines the amount of income you can have in order to be eligible for SSI. A majority of the US states provide supplemental payment to people receiving SSI, including Illinois. State supplements may be between $10 and $700. The limit of SSI income increases with the state supplement amount. This allows individuals qualifying for a higher amount of monthly SSI to be able to earn more countable income while still being eligible for SSI.
However, it may become hard to determine the precise income limit for SSI applying to you, as it is difficult to exact state supplement amount that you are eligible to receive. The amount varies in most states based on an individual's living conditions. For example, if a person is a nursing home resident, they may be eligible for higher state supplements than others.
If you want to know whether you qualify for receiving SSI benefits or your application has been denied, you should talk to an experienced Social Security attorney to discuss your case. Harold W. Conick & Associates Ltd has been successfully representing clients for over 30 years to get their rightful benefits. Contact us today at (800) 608-8881 to schedule a consultation with our Social Security disability attorney.

"Strangest Things"
A Deeper Understanding (out 08.25 on Atlantic)
Welp, looks like the Philly sadsacks' hugely anticipated fourth LP is officially 3 for 3. Just like "Thinking of a Place" and "Holding on," "Strangest Things" is a gorgeous, windswept epic that highlights frontman Adam Granduciel's rare ability to craft sky-scraping power ballads. Though he isn't blessed with a classic, powerhouse voice, the 38 year-old makes up for it with lush guitar and synth arrangements and deft, delicious melodies. Many bet that 2014's excellent "Lost in the Dream" would be the group's artistic zenith, but the more we hear from this new one, the more unlikely that seems.

"A true shepherd and leader who made an impact on the lives of many people in different parts of the world" that is how the mourners described the late Father Ignatius Anton Heer during the Requiem Mass/funeral service recently.
Fr. Heer died in Germany after battling with a malignant brain tumour. Members of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Mariannhill (CMM), the faithful and friends converged on the Mariannhill Monastery Church to bid farewell to the late Fr. Heer, who for many years served the community and the church with distinction.
In his homily, the Mariannhill Regional Superior, Fr. Bheki Shabalala CMM, said Fr. Heer had embraced the mission of Christ with no boundaries, and that he was a "rolling stone" so that he could experience this notion of Kingdom of God without boundaries. "He also reached out to the minority groups, going beyond the boundaries, and did all this in honesty in relation with the principles of the congregation and the church that he dearly served," said Fr. Shabalala.
The late Fr. Heer was ordained a priest in 1960. In the following year he arrived in South Africa, where he became actively involved as missionary in different areas of pastoral work in the Mariannhill and Mthatha Dioceses until his death. Apart from serving as priest in various stations, Fr. Ignatius Heer also served as editor of UMAFRIKA Newspaper, Director of the Retreat House in Mariannhill as well as in the administration of Mariannhill-Monastery, tasks that he served with great zeal and commitment.
Fr. Henry Ratering CMM, described the late Fr. Heer as a great traveller and really a rolling stone. He said that during his many years of missionary work Fr. Heer visited many places and that the places that attracted him the most were the Holy Land and India, where he went on study leave.
"Typical of his pastoral attitude was his desire to reach out and to explore areas beyond defined boundaries both geographical and religious", said Fr. Ratering. He added that Fr. Heer's interest lay in bringing together people of different races and cultures through organizing Bible study circles, pilgrimages, charismatic meetings and celebrating Mass in small groups, particularly with the Indian community that he cherished dearly.

Make Controller
I bit the bullet and purchased a Make Controller Kit. I was especially excited about the fact that Flash can communicate with the Make Controller via a OSC protocol. The Make Controller Kit is an open source hardware platform for projects requiring high performance control/feedback, connectivity, and ease of use. It can be programmed and run autonomously or used as a peripheral to desktop/laptop applications. The people at Making Things have created libraries for Flash so it's pretty much plug-in play. I look forward to spending endless hours fiddling with the Make Controller.

I'm facing that same predicament with Grails hosting . Originally the cost for a server with enough memory for Grails hosting was cost prohibitive. I couldn't justify $70 a month without a clear, quick path to become self-supporting. So I built a server and thought I would self-host and live with limited bandwidth. That greatly reduced the cost and removed the need to make a profit. Then I found a way to get free hosting for a year, and jumped at it. The Layered Tech hosting has been great.
I have learned that I don't enjoy the sysadmin responsibilities though. I don't mind so much taking care of the server I can reach out and touch, but the remote one I'd prefer not to deal with. It also is difficult to have multiple applications running simultaneously on one virtual server with 512 MB RAM when the WAR files are 20+ MB large. My attempts to use shared libraries in order to reduce the size of the WAR files on GlassFish V2 were unsuccessful. The process seems to be better documented for GlassFish V3 Prelude. If I go forward with OpenSolaris 2008.11 and GlassFish V3 Prelude, I will be moving away from Layered Tech's supported offering. I'm all right with this because I know I don't want to be a sysadmin when I grow up. I want a tool for hosting Grails applications because I don't want hosting Grails applications to be a hobby, I want developing Grails applications to be my hobby.
Here is what I'm considering as the plan for 2009:
- Tweak the test server and turn it into a kick-butt development workstation
- Read The Definitive Guide to Grails, Second Edition
- Develop Grails 1.1 applications using NetBeans 6.5 on GlassFish V3 Prelude
- Read Grails in Action
- Find a hosting solution that is less of a hobby and more like a tool.

San Francisco City Hall. (CBS)
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – A hearing was held Thursday at San Francisco City Hall to examine the Recreation and Park Department's safety policies and procedures, in the wake of last month's tragic death of a 35-year-old mother who was allegedly run over by a Rec and Park employee while she was lounging in Holly Park. The employee was said to be driving an official department vehicle at the time of the accident.


text: The use of Winstrol during the mass gain cycle will be possible with a very limited dose in order to reduce SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin). One of the main properties of Winstrol is its ability to lower SHBG much more efficiently than other steroids. The 2 mg Winstrol dosage per body weight kg significantly reduces the SHBG, which will, in turn, increase the amount of testosterone circulating in the body. As in the case of 99% of steroids, it is important to note that suppression of your natural hormonal levels will occur, but maybe a little less than with many other steroids.

My golden gecko slides down glass walls!
Hello all! I've had my gecko for just over 2 yrs now. It's usually active, eats fine. day temps around 80 - 85F, humidity ranges from 66% - 99% (I've found it difficult to maintain a consistent humidity). ever since the last time the cage was cleaned, he won't stick to the glass very well. he'll land on it and sort of stick but then starts to slide down. sometime falling off completely. could he just be stressed from being moved into a little box while his home was being cleaned? he still eats his crickets no problem.

There are three reasons a goldie will not walk up glass:
1. The goldie is in the process of shedding. Post-shed the goldie will stick like velcro again.
2. The tank walls are too dry - to the point that the goldie is trying to walk on dust and can't get a firm grip on the glass, which doesn't appear to be your problem.
3. The tank walls are too wet - to the point that the goldie is trying to walk up a waterfall. If your tank humidity is 99%, that would be why.
The humidity can be fine at 66%. 70 is optimal. 99 is too much.

thanks for your help. the humidity only jumps to 99 when i spray the tank but quickly returns to more acceptable levels. i wouldn't usually be so concerned about this but this time he's darker than usual and seems lethargic. I also have a corn snake and recently placed their cages next to each other. about a foot apart. is it possible he somehow smells or sees the snake and maybe he's just scared or something? ridiculous as that sounds, i'm open to anything.

Goldies are prone to stressing out over little things. So yeah, the cornsnake will definately have to do with his lethargy and darkness. Move the snake or goldie to another room or on the other side of the room if possible.
A stressed out goldie is prone to a boost in parasites (due to the stress messing with their immune system and making them vulnerable) so be warned about that. A stressed or sick goldie wont leave the ground of the tank and will hide at all times.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
The assumption of naturalism as the ultimate arbiter of truth *is* a 'theological premise'.
Think about it...
Agree, and generally accepted without any serious thought as to alternative explanations.
My Christianity affords great support to the belief in an understandable Universe, by accepting an"mind" that gives the Universe structure and meaning.
Naturalism gives no such support because it assumes that that Reason is also a natural process, in which case the very thing used by naturalists to explain the Universe, Reason, is itself a part of the Universe, invoking irrevocable, circular logic, as a thing can not be used to explain itself
Only by accepting that Reason is "Meaningful" can one then accept the construct of Reason which is Science. This begs the question of what gives Reason "Meaning".

Is there a way to do this using any > of the add. methods? I don't quite understand your problem. This whole idea of "combining" adjacent nodes transparently seems rather odd to me. Presumably you have some object representing <a>. In that case I would have 'setB(String)' and 'setC(String)' methods. The setC method can choose to prepend anything it wants to its parameter. Implementing things this way is moving logic out of the parsing stage into the "business logic" classes where it would seem to me to belong. But assuming that for some reason you can't do this, I would suggest creating your own Rule class to handle this instead. This rule would be used instead of a standard CallParamRule: Rule myRule = new MyBCCombinerRule(); digester.addRule("a/b", myRule); digester.addRule("a/c", myRule); In MyBCCombinerRule.body(...), the rule can check whether it has matched a "b" node (in which case it stores the data) or a "c" node (in which case it combines the values then writes the value into a param array for later use by CallMethodRule (just as CallParamRule class does). Note that this is a fairly ugly hack; I can't think of a better suggestion though. > Right now I do this withdigester.setSubstitutor, but I'm not clear on > something with that solution - what is the scope of the substitutor? > Is it used when processing every element that's encountered? How do > you unset the substitutor? This problem doesn't really seem to be a suitable use for the 'substitutor' functionality. At least, it wasn't designed with this in mind. As described in the documentation, it's intended to support "${foo}" type variable-expansion. Yes the substitutor will process every element (and every attribute) that's encountered. You can 'unset' the substitutor via digester.setSubstitutor(null).

DIY Drain Cleaning - How You Can Do More Harm Than Good
One of the most common service call requests any plumber gets is usually for drain cleaning. Slow or clogged drains are a common issue in any household and for a variety of reasons ranging from grease to hair. However, sometimes the reason behind this can be some deeper issue such as tree roots in the yard interrupting the flow of service.
One of the biggest problems though is that homeowners tend to try to take repair matters into their own hands. A common attempt at resolution is to use harsh chemical drain cleaners sold in big box home improvement stores. The important thing to keep in mind is that the approach to drain cleaning can do more harm than good.
What You Need to Know about Drain Cleaning
So what makes chemical drain cleaners a bad idea? Here is what you should know about this method of "cleaning" your drains.
The key component found in these cleaning solutions is hydrochloric acid. When these chemicals sit in the pipes it begins to eat away at them. In addition to your pipes, this acid can also damage materials like enamel or other costly surfaces and materials in your bathroom and kitchen.
It probably comes as no surprise that these cleaning agents are also bad for the planet. The residue left behind in bottles and then dumped in landfills soaks into the earth and also makes its way to waterways. Aside from pollution, this can kill fish and wildlife.
They are also toxic to breathe in which makes it less than ideal to have in the home. Even once the fumes are gone, particles can linger in the air for much longer.
The worst part is that they may not even work. These cleaning agents are notorious for offering a temporary solution to a long term problem. Plus if you have a problem in the line and not the drain in your sink or shower, they won't do a thing.
In fact, you could have a broken pipe and not even know it because you opt to try to solve the problem with chemical cleaners.
Calling the Pros for Drain Cleaning
Here at MPE Services one of the important services that we take care of is drain cleaning in AL. We will get to the bottom of the problem and take care of it accordingly. Slow drains and completely clogged drains are no match for the expertise of our plumbers!
The idea is to provide you with a long term solution so you can get superior performance from your plumbing for years to come. That part of what makes us the preferred local plumber.

sniffle snort ugh it's Halloween so I must be sick
The plague has descended on us. Josh is the only one to have escaped it. So far.
This is the 3rd year in a row that I was signed up to run/walk in our local Santa Fund run. And the 3rd year in a row that I was too sick to go.
I did manage to leave the house long enough to take the boy trick or treating.
Take that Voldemort!
This is his 3rd year in a row that he had some kind of caped costume. Of course, he's never sick on Halloween. Maybe I need a cape.
ps. If you're looking for serious cuteness, I suggest you go here.

text: 06 August 2010Sun-seekers are being urged to protect themselves against harmful UV rays this summer, which can have lasting damage on their complexions as well as increase their risk of skin cancer.More than 10,400 people in the UK are diagnosed with malignant melanoma each year, according to The Sun - and 80 per cent of those cases could have been prevented by applying adequate sun cream. Several celebrities recently explored the extent of sun damage to their complexions with VISIA cameras, which took photographs of their faces and analysed the UV damage beneath the surface of their skin. Hollyoaks star Gemma Merna revealed that she bowed to peer pressure as an impressionable teen and used sun beds, but now takes greater care of her fair skin. "I'm really careful about looking after my skin and use factor 30 every day," Gemma said. "The Visia is really thorough and seeing is believing when it comes to the effects of the sun on your skin. "I'm happy with my results. I dread to think what the results would have been if I'd have had my skin analysed a few years ago." Analysing the results of Gemma's photo skin analysis, Lesley Ainsworth of Harley Medical, Liverpool, explained: "Gemma has some sun damage that I suspect was caused while she was using a sunbed. "However, because she has used sun block for the past few years, she has managed to keep her skin in good condition. "It's important to remember you can do a lot to help your skin recover from sun damage. This result proves that. "The most important thing is to use at least a factor 30 every day, reapplying if you are outside. "To give skin an extra boost, try an antioxidant cream with vitamin C. This will speed up skin rejuvenation and get rid of dull, dead skin cells quicker."

Sugar, spice, wrapped up nice
CINCINNATI — Sustainable packaging increasingly is gaining attention and, according to research, is projected to nearly double in revenues in the coming years. So Procter & Gamble is right on trend with its plan to use renewable, sustainable, sugarcane-derived plastic on select packaging of its Pantene Pro-V, CoverGirl and Max Factor brands.
The pilot will be rolled out globally over the next two years, with the first products slated to be on shelf in 2011.
P&G will source the sugarcane-derived plastic from Braskem SA, which manufactures the material using ethanol made from sustainably grown Brazilian sugarcane.
According to market research and consulting firm Pike Research, the sustainable packaging sector is growing faster than the overall packaging industry and is expected to increase from $88 billion to $170 billion by 2014. Pike Research anticipated that plastic-based packaging will be the fastest-growing segment between now and 2014.
Jewel-Osco celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with 'Sabor de la Herencia Hispana'
ITASCA, Ill. A Midwest food and drug retailer is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with its third annual VIP reception to honor the culture and significant achievements of the Hispanic community.
Jewel-Osco is holding its signature event, "Sabor de la Herencia Hispana" (Taste of Hispanic Heritage), on Sept. 22, and is dedicated to recognizing the continuous efforts and outstanding contributions made by leaders from the civic, business and nonprofit sectors of the community. During the VIP reception, Jewel-Osco will honor three social service agencies for their efforts and their commitment to enriching the Hispanic communities they serve. This year, Jewel-Osco will award a total of $15,000 in grants to Association House, Namaste Charter School and The Resurrection Project. The work of these organizations reflects Jewel-Osco's pledge to support initiatives that mirror the company's charitable giving strategy, which focuses on three areas: hunger relief, nutrition education and environmental stewardship, the retailer said.
The event also will highlight the unique flavors and richness of Latin cuisine, by showcasing exclusive dishes developed by culinary students from Chicago's St. Augustine College.
"We are proud to observe Hispanic Heritage Month with an event that celebrates the culture and traditions of the Latino community," said Jewel-Osco president, Keith Nielsen. "'Sabor de la Herencia Hispana' supports the culinary talent of Hispanic youth and recognizes the exceptional contributions of this community."

Martin O'Malley delivered the first direct video attack of the Democratic primary on Wednesday, criticizing front-runner Hillary Clinton for her weak record on gun control.
The short video highlights Clinton's stance on gun control during her first run at the Democratic nomination in 2008 when she said that "for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules [on guns], I think doesn't make sense."
Clinton now criticizes GOP candidate Jeb Bush for stating "the federal government shouldn't be involved in gun laws." On the 2016 campaign trail Clinton often speaks of her plans to curb gun violence and restrict the buying and selling of firearms, but O'Malley has protested that her plans don't go far enough.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

"I'm having a hard time making up my mind which is more delicious--Patty Pinner's glorious words or these heavenly pies! I've read all the words--and now I'm working my way through the pies--I'll get back to you on this asap and I suggest you undertake your own study of this weighty question IMMEDIATELY. This is the PERFECT discussion for book clubs--but don't talk with your mouth full!" --Jill Conner Browne, THE Sweet Potato Queen
"Sweety Pies is a beautifully written homage to all that sustains us. Generous, loving, funny, and knowing, this book is indeed 'an uncommon collection.' It is also a blessing and a delight." --Julia Reed, author, Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena
"Sweety Pies is a beautifully written culinary memoir about memory, the bond between recipe givers, and the attitude of women in the kitchen. It celebrates the love and sweetness of family and friends cooking and eating together. Sweety Pies is fresh, new, and hot... so light your oven and enjoy."
--Dr. Vertamae Grosvenor, cultural correspondent, National Public Radio, author and culinary griot
"Patty Pinner gives a new perspective on the inherently luscious, seductive nature of the home-baked pie. Written with generous helpings of wit, wisdom, and sass, this wonderful cookbook captures the magic and poetry of women who share soulfulness and love through their kitchens. If there's such a thing as a sensual cookbook, this is it." --Norma Jean & Carole Darden, authors of Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine
"Some cookbook authors struggle to come up with things to say about their recipes. Not Patty Pinner; her recipes are firmly rooted in delicious stories about thewomen who provided them. Sweety Pies tickled me so much that I called friends and enthusiastically read passages aloud. The womanish observations are every bit as good as the pies." --Sylvia Carter, Newsday
If you find sustenance in the narrative as well as the eating of pie, this is your book. Subtitled "An Uncommon Collection of Womanish Observations, With Pie," the homespun volume tells a story with every recipe. For their creators -- women from author Patty Pinner's life in Saginaw, Mich., -- the pies become potent vehicles of self-expression. Pie fillings range beyond the traditional to incorporate such ingredients as beans, mandarin oranges, grits and rice --The Baltimore Sun
"Patty Pinner's new cookbook delivers dollop after dollop of womanly wisdom along with a slice of pie. In Sweety Pies she invites the reader into her kitchen and into the arms of the women in her life - Mama, the postmistress, Aunt Helen, Cousin Gwendolyn. Pinner, a postal worker who lives in Saginaw, Mich., describes herself as a "descendant of that generation where a woman's appearance, manner and domestic prowess were synonymous with her feminine identity." The best homemakers were those who kept a spotless house and could crimp a crust and bake a pie as beautifully as Martha Stewart. She introduces these women in the stories leading to each recipe. These snapshots of a bygone era make it difficult to decide what to do first: read about the women who influenced Pinner or get out the flour and shortening and bake a pie. Throughout the stories arethe "golden nuggets of female truth" that Pinner's mother dispensed - "a man hates to be ignored" or "Sweet talk can't buy rice." --The Hartford Courant
"Patty Pinner's Sweety Pies' offers simple, appealing pies with a hearty side of womanish observations' -- the sort of tales that often involve baking for and from the heart and people with names such as Chestermae and Miss Mattie. Her Redemption Hazelnut Pie was amazingly sweet and nutty. The book also contains many unusual pies, such as Sister Shirley Woo
