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: Junior High or Middle School?
The terms junior high and middle school are often mixed up. There are areas where they are very different, though. Junior high generally focuses on the subject, not the student. Because of this the junior high school will often organize teachers into subject areas and offer only academic classes and study halls. Middle schools however place teachers into teams that mix the subjects. This allows for flexible scheduling, exploratory or nonacademic classes, places the classes close together and offer teacher to student times throughout the day. The schools use different structures to introduce different approaches to establishing the best learning environment for the students. The junior high designation is important for students, however, who are ready to mature into a more rigorous environment.

The First Days by Rhiannon Frater
Series: As the World Dies #1
Published by Tor on August 14th, 2008
Pages: 331
Shelve It: Goodreads
Katie is driving to work one beautiful day when a dead man jumps into her car and tries to eat her. That same morning, Jenni opens a bedroom door to find her husband devouring their toddler son.
Fate puts Jenni and Katie—total strangers—together in a pickup, fleeing the suddenly zombie-filled streets of the Texas city in which they live. Before the sun has set, they have become more than just friends and allies—they are bonded as tightly as any two people who have been to war together.
During their cross-Texas odyssey to find and rescue Jenni's oldest son, Jenni discovers the joy of watching a zombie's head explode when she shoots its brains out. Katie learns that she's a terrific tactician—and a pretty good shot.
A chance encounter puts them on the road to an isolated, fortified town, besieged by zombies, where fewer than one hundred people cling to the shreds of civilization.
It looks like the end of the world. But Katie and Jenni and many others will do whatever they have to to stay alive. Run, fight, pick each other up when they stumble, fall in love…anything is possible at the end of the world.
The First Days came highly recommended by so many bloggers that I thought I had a guaranteed five-star book on my hands! By the time I realized The First Days wasn't going to get any better, I was far enough along in it that I decided to just finish the damn thing. While I found certain concepts intriguing, overall The First Days was a chaotic mess; the relationships felt forced and undeveloped, the characterization was disorganized and slightly baffling, and the writing was overly pedantic.
One of the biggest reasons I almost didn't finish The First Days was because of the writing style. While I didn't always mind that the most minute of details were given attention, I wouldn't have been surprised if I had been told what color/type of underwear Katie put on daily, what bothered me the most was how repetitive the dialogue was.

There are a few key elements that are important to have during your capsule planning session. The first is choosing style words, which help you to focus on what overall look that you are going for. For Amy, she chose: classic, attractive, and comfortable.
Another element that will make the versatility of your capsule multiply by 100 is choosing a couple of silhouettes that you feel your best in.
Choosing style words and silhouettes may seem a little daunting, but with the guidance of someone who asks the right questions, it becomes an eye-opening process.
Remember! A capsule wardrobe is for a pre-determined amount of time. My personal comfy zone is three months time. Think winter-spring-summer-fall. This allows me to experiment a little more with fashion. Some people may prefer to go six months without changing things up. Some might prefer a year. When I work with clients, we do a three month capsule because it is do-able and not scary.
So, for three months Amy agreed to follow her style words, her silhouettes, and also a color palette.
Her color palette was easy because she already knew exactly what colors brought her joy to wear. These were the colors that she felt comfortable and attractive in. Remember, Amy had a strong sense of personal style and what she liked and did not like to wear.
This is what Amy chose:
2 neutral colors – black, brown
3 main colors – white, grey, blues
1 accent color – army green
You'll notice that all of Amy's colors complement each other. This is a good thing!
Take a look at Amy's silhouette. It is a fitted top with a straight leg pant. (She also chose a boot leg pant to accompany her bottom portion- not shown here). She has cinched the waist with a jean jacket, which is a little style-trick that we practiced, also known as the "three piece rule". She has classic jewelry on that accompanies her classic style. Her harness boots are timeless, which lend a hand to her classic and attractive look.
When we purged Amy's closet, all other colors of clothes that she still wanted to wear during another capsule collection were stored away. So, after three months Amy can change her color palette, if she wants to, and pull from her assortment of clothes that we stored away. My suggestion for this method is that after a year, if you still haven't pulled a certain item to wear in any of your capsules, then this means it's probably time to thank that item for being a part of your journey and let it go!
Next time we'll see Amy's second silhouette and hear about what Amy thought about the experience and what she learned through this process. What do you think? Does this woman look like she's confident to you? She looks like a fashion blogger to me!

The Spoleto Festival USA is whole again.
For two years, the festival has done without one of its most powerful attractions: the Dock Street Theatre, whose wood-paneled coziness lends present-day performances an air of Charleston's 18th-century glory. It has had a long and extensive renovation. May 28, when the festival opens, audiences will finally return to it.
To commemorate the reopening, the festival will revive a long-neglected opera that was performed at the site in 1736. A longtime Spoleto favorite, the Gate Theatre from Ireland, will complement the Dock Street's charm with Noel Coward's wit in "Present Laughter." Another milestone for the theater: Its daily chamber-music concerts, Spoleto's most-attended component, will have a new leader, violinist Geoff Nuttall.
From May 28 through June 13, Spoleto will blanket locations across Charleston with music, theater, dance and art.
What better way to welcome back the Dock Street Theatre, Charleston's homage to 18th-century theaters, than to revive a hit from 18th-century Charleston?
In England, a spoof of highbrow Italian opera was packing audiences in. In Charleston in 1735, "Flora, An Opera" became the first opera performed in the United States - representing a breed called ballad opera, a mix of common-folk characters, double-entendre lyrics and tunes borrowed from the 18th-century pop culture. "Flora" was so popular that it was reprised the next year in a just-built venue: the original theater on the Dock Street site.
Spoleto is bringing "Flora" back. Neely Bruce, a composer and specialist in early American music, has fleshed out what was put down on paper in the 1700s - mainly the lyrics and the mere melodies. He thinks "Flora" and today's audiences are ready for each other.
"Early 21st-century theater is more like early 18th-century theater than most people realize," Bruce says. "You can basically say and do anything. You can be as bawdy as you like. You can present all kinds of questionable things on the stage, and people will laugh and have a good time."
Flora is a teenager who has just been orphaned. She wants to marry her sweetheart. But her guardian, who wants to get his hands on the money her parents left for her, has his own designs. The hijinks take off from there.
Bruce, who will lead the Spoleto performances from the harpsichord, had to compose a couple of numbers from scratch. But for the most part, his job was to build vocal and instrumental parts around the 18th-century melodies - which were as new to him as they will be to everyone else.
"When I started looking at these tunes," he says, "my heart leapt for joy. Because they're so interesting and so varied." They're the foundation of "short, rapier-like" numbers that are as vivid as they are brief.
Opera lovers who couldn't know a note of "Flora" going into it should still be comfortable, Neely says. With a guardian scheming to control his ward, the basic situation looks forward to Rossini's "Barber of Seville." High-born characters are the butt of jokes, as in Gilbert and Sullivan.
"Once people see it," Bruce says, "I'm convinced they're going to love it."
More opera
Spoleto will present two other operas - one new, the other dating back nearly as far as "Flora."
"Proserpina" by Wolfgang Rihm: This hourlong opera centers on the mythological goddess of the underworld, called Persephone by the Greeks. Rihm, who has been one of Germany's most prominent composers since the 1960s, based the opera on a drama by the poet Goethe. Spoleto will give the American premiere.
"Philemon and Baucis" by Joseph Haydn. The composer of the "Surprise" Symphony and "The Creation" is less well-known as an opera composer. Besides creating traditional operas, he created this for the puppet theater in his royal employer's castle. It's another mythological tale. The gods Jupiter and Mercury come to earth in disguise. Asking for help, they're rejected repeatedly until they meet an elderly couple who don't possess much, but generously share what little they have. The gods reward them. The Colla Marionettes from Italy, a Spoleto favorite, will collaborate with the festival's musical forces.
He's an actor. Famous. Self-centered. A womanizer. Enjoys taking nothing seriously. Then his liaisons start going awry.
That's all the plot that Noel Coward's "Present Laughter" needs. Its central character may not have much to laugh about, but audiences do.
"You think you can get through life in an easy, flippant and very self-satisfied way," says Alan Stanford, director of the Gate Theatre's staging. "Then life throws you a curveball."
"You've actually got to face realities. And... when people who are not used to facing realities are forced to face them, that can be terribly, terribly funny."
Especially when the collision was crafted by Coward. As playwright, songwriter and performer, he personified British sophistication and dry-martini wit. He cut an urbane figure on stages from 1920s London to 1960s Las Vegas. But his theatrical roots reached back to Oscar Wilde and comedies of centuries earlier.
Coward designed "Present Laughter" as a starring vehicle for himself, playing a circa-1940 matinee idol named Garry Essendine. As he often did, Stanford says, Coward modeled Garry's personality and relationships on his own.
Onstage and off, Garry - like Coward - is the star of his own show. "Why Garry Essendine is such a totally adorable character is that he is a total hedonist," Stanford says. "And yet, he's sad. Fundamentally, he's lonely. Because he'll never open up to anyone profoundly enough to make real contact. The world is riddled with people like that. In fact, most of us are (that way), when you get down to it."
Then Stanford stops himself. There's no need, he says, to be too intellectual. "Present Laughter," he says, is "just a brilliantly funny piece of its time and genre."
More theater
"Cinderella" by the Colla Marionettes: After finishing its performances of the Haydn opera a few days into the festival, the Italian puppet theater moves on to the beloved fairy tale.
"This is What Happens Next" by the Necessary Angel Theatre Company: Canadian actor and writer Daniel MacIvor returns for this solo show. Spoleto bills it as a combination of autobiography and philosophical musing that embraces topics including "divorce, addiction and the life of John Denver."
Taking over for Charles Wadsworth, the pianist-storyteller-jokester who had hosted Spoleto's chamber-music concert since Day 1, might be a hopeless task except for one thing: No sane person could expect the new artistic director to be another Wadsworth.
Geoff Nuttall, the new leader, had the benefit of watching Wadsworth at close hand. As first violinist of the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Spoleto's resident quartet for more than a decade, Nuttall has been literally at Wadsworth's side.
"You can never be as effortlessly funny or jovial or charming as Charles," Nuttall says.
"What you want to try to do is keep the spirit alive - keep his pure love of music and dislike of B.S. It's a good combination. I've always believed in that."
At the daily chamber concerts, Spoleto's most-attended component, audiences have long been familiar with Nuttall and the quartet's zesty performances - and with Nuttall's live-wire presence as first fiddle, all but dancing in his chair. Now, in the Wadsworth tradition, he'll get up and talk, introducing the music and performers at each of the 33 concerts.
Nuttall took up the violin at 8 years old, soon after his family moved from his native Texas to his mother's homeland of Canada. Since he was a youngster, Nuttall notes, he has been hooked on chamber music: He and his quartet's second violinist, Scott St. John, had a string quartet when Nuttall was 10 years old and St. John was 6. Reunited in the grown-up ensemble, they play more than 100 concerts a year and teach at Stanford University.
The roster for this year's chamber series will include the silver-toned soprano Dawn Upshaw, one of the biggest-name performers to take part. There'll be an even most prominent guest: Johannes Brahms.
Musician-technicians have gone to work with a brief, primitive recording Brahms made in the 1890s, playing one of his own Hungarian dances. They've cleared away the background noise and patterned a performance of the whole dance after Brahms' playing style in the excerpt. A digital mechanism enables a piano to perform it with no one at the keyboard.
"We'll have this piano onstage with Brahms playing a Brahms Hungarian dance," Nuttall says. "I've seen it. It's eerie. And it's incredible how great it sounds."
More music
Spoleto Festival Orchestra: Conductor Emmanuel Villaume will lead two concerts. May 31, the group will pair the Richard Strauss showpiece "Also Sprach Zarathustra" - whose first 90 seconds were famously used in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" - with Ravel's "La Valse." June 6, the serenity of Richard Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll" will counterpoint the vigor of Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony and the rowdiness of Beethoven's Symphony No. 8.
Jazz, world and popular music: The Ebony Hillbillies, who preserve the African-American tradition of string band music, will perform June 3. Bassekou Kouyate, a specialist in the ngoni - a centuries-old West African relative of the lute - will bring his band to Spoleto on June 9. The jazz roster includes Georgia-born singer Lizz Wright, British singer Norma Winstone, Brazilian singer Fabiana Cozza, Boston-based guitarist Julian Lage and Polish pianist Leszek Mozdzer. The German duo Die Roten Punke will give punk a comic twist.
It's no ordinary ballet company.
For decades, the Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo has simultaneously spoofed and honored the heroic, poetic world of ballet - with men playing all the roles, right up to the (usually) most fragile heroines. On the festival's opening weekend, the company will finally make its Spoleto debut.
The roster holds names like Ida Nevasayneva and Vanya Verikosa. Nevasayneva's biography explains that "Comrade Ida became known as a heroine of the Revolution when, after effortlessly boureeing through a mine field, she lobbed a loaded toe shoe into a capitalist bank." She and the other ballerinas sport pointe shoes in the range of size 10.
The Trocks, as their fans call them, will perform some of their classics, including "Swan Lake" and the George Balanchine homage "Go for Barocco." Yes, the style includes slapstick and silliness. But there's more to it than that, artistic director Tory Dobrin says via e-mail.
"The company is very rooted in serious ballet history and technique," Dobrin says. "The audience expects to laugh when they walk into the theater. The audience walks away with an appreciation of how talented the dancers are as both comedy and ballet artists."
More dance
"Giselle" by the National Ballet of Georgia: Ballerina Nina Ananiashvili, who starred in "Swan Lake" at Spoleto in 2007, returns as another ballet heroine, Giselle - who comes back from the grave to save her sweetheart from evil spirits.
"Dance" by choreographer Lucina Childs: Childs' 1979 collaboration with composer Philip Glass is performed by her company. The work combines the onstage dancers with a filmed version of the choreography by visual artist Sol LeWitt.

Sleep under your own soft and luxurious pure wool duvet. You will be amazed at how rejuvenating a good night's sleep can be. Our classic Pure Australian Wool duvet is an all-season duvet. It is filled with pure Australian wool and covered with a soft 100% cotton quilted cover that eliminates shifting, clumping and hollow spots. This duvet will help to regulate body temperature throughout the night, allowing you to achieve longer periods of deep, healthy sleep. Pure wool absorbs 30% of it's weight in moisture helping you to maintain a fresh and dry sleep environment. This unique moisture management also creates an environment that is inhospitable to dust-mites (who love humidity thus their life cycle is reduced) and is a great choice for allergy sufferers. Wool comes from a renewable resource that is animal-friendly and completely bio-degradable therefore it is considered a sustainable textile.
** Due to health reasons, duvets are final sale.
Each item is sold individually (one per package). Limited quantities available, please call and verify availability at the store as stock changes daily.
Dry Clean Only. Do Not Wash. Spot clean possible. To eliminate odours and/or stains: Gently spot clean using a mild detergent. Expose to direct sunlight. Air dry, allowing to dry completely. With good day to day care a wool duvet can last years without needing to be dry cleaned. It is best to keep a duvet in a cover which protects it from dirt and dust. To freshen your wool duvet: Expose to sunlight and air. Sunshine brings out the natural lanolin in wool, allowing it to self-deodorize. As an alternative, your wool duvet may be placed in dryer with a few dryer balls. Place dryer on AIR cycle for 10 minutes. DO NOT use heat.

New York City, New York – (StockNewsDesk) – 12/10/2014 — The U.S. markets saw a volatile trading day yesterday as economic problems lurking around China weighed on investment decisions. In addition to the Chinese economic woes, political problems in Greece surfaced which made investors sceptical about the country's future. Moreover, the fate of the country's inclusion in the euro zone category became doubtful in light of possible early elections. These factors carried weight, as well as the negative effects of the falling crude oil prices.
The major index in the U.S., the Dow Jones, swung as much as 200 points in volatile trading. However, the index recovered from the day's low. This year, investors have consistently followed the rule of buy-on-dips. As soon as the crude oil prices started to recover, investors started buying stocks. The recovery was predominantly led by the oil and gas companies. Six out of ten leading oil and gas companies advanced.
Inflation Data, New Trading Regulations Spook Investors
Asian shares plummeted as the Shanghai stock exchange was down over 5% and the Hong Kong stock exchange was down over 2.5%. Chinese lawmakers introduced a new rule in the stock trading arena which spooked investors. The new rule would limit investors from trading on margin. As per the new rule, limitations will govern the use of corporate bonds, which are commonly used as a collateral to raise short-term financing. A move of this kind will limit investors from trading on high margin. On the positive side, risk appetite of investors will decline, pushing the trade environment to a safe area.
On the economic front, new economic data reported by the Chinese government were below expectations. The Purchase Price Index (PPI) fell 2.7% compared to expectations of -2.4% and earlier periods reading of -2.2%. China's inflation on a month-over-month basis fell into the red at 0.2% compared to an increase of 0.1%. The inflation rate is a major economic variable considering the fact that the cooling housing sector is responsible for the economy slowdown. On a year over year basis, the inflation rate came in at 1.4% compared to expectations of 1.6%.
Greece Falls by 12.8%
Fresh concerns over Greece's political arena surfaced when the ruling Government surprised everyone by proposing a premature presidential vote. Investor sentiment dropped while the Athens stock market fell nearly 12.8%, last seen over 27 years ago. In 2012, Greece triggered a recession in Europe which might have caused the euro zone to break up. However, the euro zone came up with a plan to rescue the country. This premature presidential election puts everything at stake.

Why Perth Best Beaches are the Best for Cardio
No matter where you live, there is a great appeal to using the outdoors as a veritable gym for all of your exercise needs. In Australia, using beaches for upping the cardio fitness you're getting is becoming a notable trend. Running or walking along the beach engages many more muscles than cardio on a flat, stable surface, and therefore, it encourages a much more efficient cardiovascular response. The best beaches of Perth allow you to take the remarkable appeal of truly gorgeous beach scenery and incorporate it into your favorite cardio routine.
Why Perth Beaches?
Australia is a beautiful place with a great deal of eye-catching flora and fauna, but Perth is a truly jaw-dropping gem. With 80 kilometers of coastline, the entire area is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of sand, sun, and of course, sea. From December to March, the coastline is the perfect destination for those looking to up the ante on their cardio routine. Perth Scarborough has long been a great place for early morning exercise, from something as simple as walking to something as complex as swimming. Whether you want to visit Trigg and Sorrento with the white sandy beaches for a morning jog or take the Sunset Coast cycle path, you can get your cardio on. Maybe you're more a Scarborough Beach fan, though, and would prefer to scour the area for a cool place to eat breakfast after your morning routine. No matter what type of cardio appeals to you, Perth has a beach with your name on it.
How Is Cardio Improved?
Because beaches, especially those in Perth, are teaming with possibility for exercise, they make a great locale for cardio hotspots. City Beach hosts a sheltered swimming area, while Cottesloe Beach has a gorgeous costal path of Scarborough. Cardio on the beach could be everything from walking, jogging, or running to swimming or surfing. There are also circuit training workouts that have been developed for the beach in order to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity it presents. Something as simple as walking in the sand requires the body to do more work, which in turn stimulates the cardiovascular system. Sand also acts as a natural cushion for the joints, which makes it the perfect solution for people with problematic physiological issues that would otherwise keep them from exercising.

NSAIDs have anti-inflammatory (reduce inflammation), analgesic (relieve pain) and antipyretic (lower temperature) effects. Although different NSAIDs have different structures, they all work by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. There are two main types of COX enzymes: COX-1 and COX-2. Both types produce prostaglandins; however, the main function of COX-1 enzymes is to produce baseline levels of prostaglandins that activate platelets and protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, whereas COX-2 enzymes are responsible for releasing prostaglandins after infection or injury. Prostaglandins have a number of different effects, one of which is to regulate inflammation. Most NSAIDs inhibit both enzymes, although a few are available that mainly inhibit COX-2. The pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs are mainly due to inhibition of COX-2, and their unwanted side effects are largely due to inhibition of COX-1.

Setúbal Peninsula: a regiãon between the Tagus and Sado
The Setúbal Peninsula is a sub-region that is characterized by environmental and landscape diversity, the economic wealth and the population. With nine municipalities, it adds more than 781,000 people and has its history linked to castles, convents, villas and palaces, natural heritage and excellent wines.
Headquarters of the Natural Reserve of the Tagus estuary, Alcochete is a town with about 17,565 inhabitants which is divided in three parishes. It is believed that Alcochete has Arab foundation for two reasons: the origin of Al Caxete name and the location of the Church, which has been built over an Arab temple.
In the sub-region of Setubal, Almada is the sixth most populous city in Portugal, with over 164,000 inhabitants. The county received its charter of D. Sancho I in 1190 and Almada was elevated to city status in 1973. It is thought that Almada has Arab origin, association with the word mine, since during the Arab rule in the Iberian Peninsula was made the exploration of gold deposit of Adiça.
This city of Setúbal Peninsula is divided into four parishes and has more than 78 thousand inhabitants. The origin of Barreiro is associated with a riverside village, repopulated after the reconquest, under the auspices of the Order of Knights of Santiago Espada. Barreiro has a strategic position close to the city of Lisbon and bathed by the river Tagus, is an important road-rail-river terminal.
With over 62,000 inhabitants, Palmela keeps records of human presence from the Neolithic Superior, notably through the testimonies left in the form of Palmela Pot. Occupied by Celts, Romans and Arabs, in 1147 it was conquered by D. Afonso Henriques, receiving its charter in 1185. The strategic position between the Sado and the Tagus potentiate its development.
Divided into six parishes, the county of Seixal has about 184,000 inhabitants and is one of the eight most populous municipalities of Portugal. Although little is known about the early history of Seixal, will most likely have originated in a small nucleus of fishermen and the name will be associated with the large amount of existing pebbles on the riverside beaches.
Capital of the dstrict of the same name, Setúbal has about 121,000 inhabitants and is divided into five parishes. Born of the river and the sea, Setúbal has human occupation records from pre-history, with Neolithic remains collected. The region was visited by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans seeking salt and tin.
Moita is located on the left bank of the Tagus estuary and has a riverfront with more than 20 kilometers. With about 66,000 inhabitants, Moita is favored by the riverside location and the richness of sea-river heritage, namely the Naval Shipyard Gaius, the Sarilhos Pequenos Naval Shipyard and Cais da Moita.
Montijo has its history closely linked to the Tagus river, as much of its geographical area is bounded by the same. In Montijo there are archaeological remains dating from the Paleolithic and until 1930 the city was called Aldeia Galega do Ribatejo. In 1985 the town of Montijo was elevated to city status.
Facing the Atlantic Ocean and enriched by the mouth of the Sado, the Arrábida mountains, the Cape Espichel, the lagoon of Albufeira and the beach Meco, Sesimbra is a strong county in terms of natural landscape. From the Chalcolithic period there are traces of human presence in Sesimbra and in 1201 Sancho I awarded him the charter

Spring is slowly arriving to the Washington, DC area. If you haven't already, it's time to dust off your bicycle, pump up the tires, and start riding again. An issue that continually comes up is whether bicyclists can ride in the street, or on a sidewalk, or both. The simple answer is yes to all three (though it might be impossible to do "both" at the same time). There are a few caveats to this, but there is far more confusion among pedestrians, motorists, police officers, judges, and lawyers over this than there should be. Since I like to dig down to the source, the following references provide the legal foundation for whether bicyclists can ride on streets or sidewalks around the DC metropolitan area.

Remember that whilst we'd like to believe boating should be for everyone it's still a rich-man's sport, so when a bunch of reprobates turn up in a home-made cement boat and moor up next to some bling bling million dollar yacht we're not exactly greeted with open arms. At first this bothered me. It bothered me that we didn't look the part and it bothered me that we didn't have leather hand-stitched upholstery and a fridge that prevents the smell of ripe Camembert to fill the entire boat as soon as one opens the fridge door.
The Swinge – Sailing Lessons Abound!
After tempers had dropped we all apologised to each other, including poor Lorraine who I think felt partly responsible for the incident, though it wasn't her fault. It was no one's fault, it was just a learning process but we very quickly learned that Sam's temper can be short under stressful situations. Personally I kind of expected this and don't have a problem with it, but I'm worried about Conny and Lorraine. Conny actually asked Sam to be more patient with us, and to Sam's credit he apologised and said that he understood we wouldn't learn anything with him shouting at us. Let's hope it was a one-off incident.
Alderney And Baked Beans
Alderney is a Channel Island where it rains a lot. However the beer is good so we hit a couple of cosy snubs in St Annes and supped local ale. Back on the boat I cooked beans on toast, making it four days in a row that I've been chef.
Provisioning (Basically Wine & Cheese)
5.30am: Woke up to Danny Boy this morning. NO!!!! Not the ******* shipping forecast again! Also Cherbourg smells of rotten fish and I've developed a cold. Went into town and acted French. Ate mussels, bought Camembert and French sticks. A trip to the booze shop ensured a library of drink to browse over in the next few weeks, and we … Read More
Rule Britannia!
Woke up to Rule Britania at 5.30am this morning. Very loud. What the **** is going on? Is this Sam's idea of a bloody joke? It was only after Rule Britannia had finished that I realised he was tuning into the shipping forecast on Radio 4. Obviously essential to our safe passage but please don't let this happen every day – I can't handle it! Just to make things more difficult I have decided to give up smoking.
Setting Sail in the Solent
Whilst the food went down well I think there was still a lot of first day nerves, at least for me. Had I made the right decision to leave the comfortable surroundings of home? What's Sam really like when it's blowing a force 7 in 20ft waves? Would I get on with Conny and Lorraine? Is sailing for me?
Crew: Ramprasad
A qualified Royal Yachting Association (RYA) offshore yachtmaster, Sam has already crossed the Atlantic a number of times. His piece-de-resistance, however, must have been sailing the original Ramprasad (a traditional open Indian fishing boat made from teak) from India to Australia single handed. Check an Atlas to put into context just how mad this bloke is.
The Original FTB Introdution
This introduction was written by my brother when the original FTB website was put together, preceding the Europe and Atlantic trip undertaken in 2003.
Tim helped communicate my adventures to family and friends by setting up a small site to contain these stories. This is the very original introduction that preceded the FTB web site.

If you are considering joining the Numis MLM company, take some time and read this article first before you make a definite decision.
You will surely want to know ahead of time what the real facts are about Numis, and what's just a rumor. It's always a good strategy to carry out your due diligence ahead of time rather than just rushing into the unknown.
"Fools rush in" is appropriate? Correct, now let's take a look at what you'll want to know ahead of joining.
Numis MLM: Ideal Timing
Most people agree, the economy of United States of America has been struggling in the last few years. A lot of people are without jobs, homeless and broke and that number may increase.
With all the multi-trillion dollar bank bailouts, people are losing their life savings, homes are going into foreclosure and a clear-end in sight may be some way off. Many people are wondering if we're heading for another depression.
When your back is against the wall, and you just cannot find a job – you may cease looking for one. Instead, you may think about generating income for yourself by beginning your personal business.
And that makes sense. In case you decide to go into business yourself you will very first think about what alternatives are obtainable to you.
Have you thought about getting involved with one of the most well-timed MLM organizations in history? Numis MLM could be an excellent network marketing business for this economic climate, and here's why…
Numis MLM: The Silver Lining
Gold and silver have been a beneficial trading commodity since the dawn of civilized society. Now more than ever. Chris Kent and Jake Kevorkian (Numis founders) are starting to see a unique opportunity take shape.
The opportunity of returning to a stable kind of asset protection in gold in silver is right here. They're providing products which have an inherit worth – fine graded and minted numismatic coins.
Are you currently shocked that a successful business in todays economy could be selling Gold and Silver? It's simple to see that people are more enthusiastic about spending their money on items that may retain their value in spite of what "currency" they may be backed by. This really is especially true in times of economic uncertainly.
The second key reason Numis MLM is becoming hugely successful is simply because people realize that now's the time to join. There has in no way been a greater time to get into the gold and silver world.
People are flocking like rabid sheep to start their own home based business and it's no surprise that quite a number of them are making the decision to put their valuable resources in a stable form, like bullion.
Throughout times of economic uncertainly, smart investors purchase gold and silver.
Numis MLM: Established Ground Floor Opportunity
Can you see that Numis MLM could turn out to be the biggest retailer of graded precious metal and gold coins by basically focusing their marketing on the dynamic power of multi-level-marketing? In just a few short years, Numis MLM has grown to over thirty-thousand distributors with that number expected to double shortly.
But Numis MLM is nevertheless relatively new and most people have yet to hear about this opportunity. They may be ready, looking to start their own home based business and are prepared to join once given all the necessary information.
If you are looking to start your own home business then Numis MLM may be one of the companies you should consider. It's always good to get involved with an network marketing company that is certainly poised to expand and be profitable.

When will the auto boom end?
jvgillette.com • March 31, 2014
by James V. Gillette
Automakers, suppliers, investors, dealers, governments, certainly anyone with interests in the U.S. auto industry, would dearly love to know when the current auto industry recovery that began during the summer of 2009 will end. Capital investment, hiring, volume estimates for future vehicle programs all require an assumption of how long we might expect the current prosperity to continue. There is no way to ascertain a precise answer.
Setting aside a "Black Swan" event (an unknown unknown), there are some indicators that will give warning of stress factors building that may lead to an imminent decline in the auto market. Fortunately for the near-term, none of the traditional causes of an auto industry decline in the U.S. are currently affecting the market.
Past auto "recessions" since World War II have resulted from:
- Monetary policy tightening in response to inflation pressure,
- Energy shortages and resulting price spikes and rationed supply,
- A major strike at General Motors (back in the day when the company was a larger force in the U.S. economy), and
- An excessive build-up of household debt and weakening of consumers' ability to continue to purchase durable goods on credit.
The precipitous decline of U.S. light vehicle sales that began in 2008 was predictable, although not to the extent nor to the timing. Indicators were in place from 2005 that clearly showed that the 16 million-plus rate of sales was not sustainable. By the summer of 2007, stresses were building that would have led to a sharp decline in auto sales even without the Lehman event in September 2008. At the time, I began showing clients and industry groups a number of time- series charts that would likely foreshadow trouble. (Although let me be clear, while I talked about the weakness in housing, neither I nor most other analysts had any idea of the magnitude of the underlying financial derivatives problem.) The clearest signal at the time came from the Federal Reserves "Financial Obligations Ratio" (FOR), which calculates the average household debt service as a percent of disposable income. By 2007, the FOR had reached levels never before seen.
Since the recession's trough, household balance sheets (on average) have been repaired and household wealth has now grown above previous highs (thanks to the financial market recovery and a modest resurgence in housing values). This bodes well for continued new car and truck purchases.
When will the current cycle end? The average cycle approach.
Assuming the U.S. economy remained in its expansion mode through March 2014, the current economic recovery has lasted 58 months, equal to the 58.4 month post-World War II average. The longest post-war expansion was from March 1991 to March 2001 for a total of 120 months. The shortest economic expansion of the period was during 1981-12 for only 12 months.
Cycles in Light Vehicle Sales correspond roughly to the economy in general. The long 1990s economic cycle, however, did have a few years when auto sales declined slightly: 1992, 1995, and 1997. Readers who were involved in the auto industry will recall the painfully slow recovery of sales during the early half of the decade followed by an all-out boom toward the end when sales hit an all-time record in 2000 (17.3 million) and haven't climbed to those heights since.
The recession that began in March 2001 (well before the 9/11 attacks) was hardly noticed by the auto industry thanks to massive incentives thrown at consumers to "Keep America Rolling." It was the first recession in history (at least since World War II) where auto sales remained quite stable.
There are two points here: one, recessions do not have a regular periodicity. We can't conclude the current expansion is getting long-in-the-tooth and must end soon. It could go to 120 months or even longer. Two, even if we experience a mild recession, automakers can mitigate the effects by cutting prices as long as credit is readily available.
Other "stressors" of auto industry health are healthy or a long way from causing a problem
Where do we stand today?
- Monetary policy strongly supporting North American recovery … (but …there are risks that could shorten the auto boom),
- Plentiful energy supply – Middle East politics still tenuous but overshadowed by moderate demand and domestic production, and
- Subprime auto lending is plentiful (an eventual stressor); subprime mortgage lending very limited.
Other events, trends, or actions that typically begin to erode auto demand in the U.S. economy are all currently flashing positive signals. For example:
- The age of light vehicles in the U.S. remains on average above 11 years. This is the longest we've experienced in modern history. Of course, the greatly improved durability of vehicle built during the last two decades is enabling this longevity. It will take a few more years of sales well above 13 million units to materially lower this average. At some point, even a well- built car parc needs replacement. (As a side note, Europe's situation is troubled by a younger car parc that can wait longer to be replaced.)
- Related to auto age is the supply of used vehicles and their resulting price points. During a prolonged auto cycle, trade-ins and vehicles coming off lease eventually drive used car and truck prices down creating competition for new vehicles for consumers who are more price sensitive. We are not there yet.
- In spite of the highly charged political debates surrounding the topic, employment continues to improve. While this remains a politically charged issue, monthly data from the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics shows demographic segments that are the typical new vehicle buyers are in pretty good shape.
With the possible exception of subprime auto credit, which seems to more plentiful today than prior to the "Great Recession," the excesses that could end the party are not present. When will they be a problem? It's impossible to say with any degree of precision. Given human nature and the dynamics of a market economy, we know it will happen. My own guess, barring a "Black Swan," late 2016 at the earliest; 2018 at the latest. Please note this is an informed opinion, not a scientific assessment.
By looking at a large number of economic, demographic, and auto industry indicators, I conclude that the trend level for new light vehicle sales in the U.S. is approximately 15 to 15.5 million units per year.
We achieved that in 2013 and now should see two or three years above that level until the average age of the car parc begins to recede and excesses build.
One last point: vehicle exports from North America have surged in the past ten years. The market for OE components is becoming more dependent upon vehicle sales conditions in other parts of the world and less sensitive to fluctuations in domestic demand.
I've been asked a few times in my career if I "guarantee my forecasts." In response, I usually sit for a few moments in stunned silence wondering how to answer a question based on an obvious lack of understanding of the definition of "forecast." The auto industry, let alone the world economy, is too complex to predict future outcomes with any degree of precision. Being in business requires that we take risks and it behooves us to gather a reasonable amount of information relevant to the underlying causes of those risks. The U.S. auto industry appears to be in good shape for the near-term as noted above … but I can't guarantee it.

Karma Comes Around For Tookie
Here's my OpEd in today's LA Times. The editors chose the title, which makes it seem as if I think all murders should be executed. I don't. ::::::::
He's A Murderer. He Should Die.
By Joshua Marquis
district attorney of Clatsop County, Ore., is vice president of the National District Attorneys Assn. and coauthor of "Debating the Death Penalty."
There are heartfelt moral and religious reasons to oppose capital punishment, but holding up Stanley Tookie Williams as a symbol of redemption is absurd and obscene.
It is especially offensive to his victims' families, whose names the celebrities championing his cause probably don't know. News coverage rarely mentions Albert Owens or the Yang family, all gunned down by Williams in a series of crimes in 1979. The Crips' reputed co-founder also bears moral responsibility for the deaths of countless young black men.
Williams told the BBC in a 2003 interview that his imprisonment is the result of "bad karma." He is more right than he probably intended. Karma is the consequence of choices freely made. Williams chose death for a lot of people, without justice, without appeal, without consideration of anything other than his totalitarian goals.
Stripped of his celebrity, Williams isn't much different from the more than 600 men on California's death row. He killed multiple victims, he has never taken responsibility for his crimes, and he has had decades to fight his death sentence.
Not only did he brag to his brother about the dying anguish of Owens, but after slaughtering the Yang family, he boasted to fellow gang members he had killed "some buddhaheads." His true distinction comes only in his possibly being the second African American among the 12 people the state of California has executed in the last 35 years.
According to a Gallup poll in May, nearly 75% of Americans support capital punishment for murderers. There are some murderers so heinous and so evil that removing them is the measure of the severity of their violation of the social contract. Williams qualifies.
Religious, artistic and academic elites that most vociferously oppose capital punishment are the least affected by violent crime. They invariably avoid discussion of the toll homicide takes on victims, their survivors and the communities hardest hit by murder — people of color and the poor. A black man in the United States is seven times more likely to be a victim of homicide than a white man.
So what makes Williams deserving of the extraordinary benefit of commutation? We are asked to believe that because he has coauthored some children's books he has "reformed." Yet he refuses to do what we morally and legally expect even from shoplifters: to express remorse for his actions. His true legacy may lie with his children. His namesake, Stanley Williams Jr., is doing time in another California prison for second-degree murder.
Williams claims he discourages kids from getting involved in gang life, yet a San Quentin official recently suggested that he still orchestrates gang activity outside the prison, according to an Associated Press story.
In his 2004 memoir, he refused to back off the code against "snitching," in which identifying a drive-by shooter is considered a worse sin than shooting a 4-year-old in the head with a Tech-9.
The clamor for Williams' clemency may persuade Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to dispense mercy to him, something Williams never gave Owens, the Yangs or any of the thousands of people the Crips have killed, maimed or terrorized.
But clemency for Williams will not advance serious discussion of the merits of capital punishment. Nor will it succeed in silencing the distant voices of the victims who never make the headlines except as a footnote to the saga of a gang lord adopted by the glitterati.
Williams' case recalls that of Norman Mailer and his friends, who "adopted" killer/writer Jack Henry Abbott. After Mailer and others secured his release from prison, Abbott stabbed and killed a young aspiring actor.
If his sentence is commuted, Williams will be an even shinier icon to the thugs who follow his example into violence and incarceration. He will roam in the general prison population, while his disciples stalk California's streets and malls.

Mr. Marquis:ReplyDelete
I'm confused.
According to the Guzek briefs available online, the reason for the US Supreme Court argument was the attempt by defense lawyers to present TRANSCRIPTS of the testimony of TWO ALIBI WITNESSES WHO TESTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL TRIAL, in addition to live testimony of one of those witnesses who PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED TO ALIBI in the original trial.
The various online articles about Oregon v. Guzek say the same thing.
If that is the case, why do you claim after all this time that Guzek never offered alibi evidence until is third trial?
Please correct this if I am missing something, and point me in the right direction in a brief or transcript.
Was there a second US Supreme Court argument?
Thanks for your informative blog.
Best regards,
John Q. Publique
You misread the Oregon vs. Guzek case that was ruled 8 to 0 in favor of the State at the US Supreme Court.ReplyDelete
This case is pending and I'm trying it so I cannot discuss it but the published opinions of both the Oregon and United States Supreme Court answer your issues.

India, Australia reiterate support for multi-stakeholder approach to internet governance
India woman pacer Jhulan Goswami rated men's team captain Virat Kohli the best in the business with opener Smriti Mandhana putting the men in blue firmly in the driver's seat against Australia in the upcoming ODI series starting on Sunday in Chennai.
"He is a phenomenal cricketer. He is the best cricketer in the world. The way he is playing and leading from the front is fantastic," said Jhulan in India Today's Mind Rocks Delhi event.
Jhulan, 34, is currently the leading wicket-taker in women's ODIs with 195 scalps to her name.
"Virat should continue his brand of cricket," Jhulan said.
The former captain said that now even the women cricketers pay full attention to fitness as it is an integral part of the game.
"We follow strict diet. We go to the gym on a regular basis. Cricket has changed, it's become a powerful game. You need to have strength. You need to maintain good diet," Jhulan said.
"You have to contribute in every department of the game today," she added.
She was accompanied by the other stars from the recently concluded World Cup in England -- Smriti Mandhana and Veda Krishnamurthy, who also agreed with what Jhulan said.
Talking about the upcoming India-Australia series, Smriti said that she doesn't have any advice for the male cricketers but they should just go there and play with the flow.
"They have been playing exceptional cricket for the last 4-6 months. I don't think they need our advice...they should just go with the flow, enjoy what they are doing and I'm sure they will beat the Aussies," said the southpaw.
Veda, who is also a good friend of her fellow Kannadiga Lokesh Rahul, sounded proud of him when asked about the opening batsman and backed him and the team to succeed in the five-match ODI series and three T20Is against the Aussies.
"KL is doing exceptionally well in whatever opportunities he got to play for India. It's very unfortunate that he gets injured or falls sick more than is expected but I think he's going to come back strong and do well against the Australians," she said.
"He has done well against them before and I think playing at home will be a huge advantage for us. Just nail and don't let the Aussies come on top."

In the season after citing finances to dump slugger Miguel Cabrera, the Marlins made a cool $37.8 million profit.
When their publicly funded stadium was approved a spring ago, the Marlins were on a tidy two-year run of making nearly $50 million.
After team president David Samson predicted this October would "end in a pile," the season crumbled because a few measly million weren't invested in a reliable bullpen.
But Samson's prediction looks correct from the proper angle. The season will end in a pile. That's obvious, according to less-surprising-than-confirming financial records obtained by the website Deadspin.com.
The Marlins, these records show, have skimped on their baseball product for years. But team owner Jeffrey Loria sure has a big pile, doesn't he?
No one begrudges Loria for making money. He's in business to make money. That's Capitalism 101.
But to strip a team of top players while earning big gobs of money demonstrates what Loria really thinks of the fans and the product. What's more, the Marlins compounded their lie about finances with another lie Monday after the documents came to light.
"The [financial] statements show what we've always said,'' Samson said in a conference call with media.
Samson said they were saving this money to fund a new ballpark. He insisted he's said this for years, even when Cabrera wasn't re-signed.
"It's very easy,'' he said. "We could've had Cabrera and no ballpark. We always made our decisions based on the long-term viability of the franchise. Always."

Each year the hummingbird moth shows up in the garden at the start of rainy season. He's been around a little over a month this year and try as I might getting a decent shot has been next to impossible. Not because they fly away, they are just so damn fast! I did manage to get a few good shots the other day.

The screen-printed scarf Carré Alchimique No.1 is an esoteric emblem of the most transformative poetic process.
Held within the library archives of Middle Temple, one of the four 13th Century Inns of Court in London, is an extraordinary book of both pre- and early-Enlightenment thinking and scientific revolution. 'Unheard-of Curiosities concerning Talismanical Sculpture of the Persians, the horoscope of the Patriarchs, and the reading of the Stars', by Jacques Gaffarel, was published in French (1629), and later in English (1650).
Gaffarel (1601 – 1681) was a French scholar and astrologer who studied in medicine, before becoming a priest. 'Un-heard Curiosities…' is Gaffarel's masterwork, showcasing his knowledge of natural history, mythology and fluency in Arabic, Hebrew and Persian languages. A European polymath, whose influence and beliefs became radically contentious amongst the prevailing school of Western philosophers and the clergy, was threatened to be burnt at the stake, along with his writing.
In Chapter XIII at the end of the book, Gaffarel offers some of his most inspiring and studied observations, illuminated by the large illustrated foldouts integral to communicating the detail of surveying the Southern Hemisphere's night sky, and the complexity of his belief.
It is said that Jewish astrology developed independently from the mythology and stargazing of Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman civilisations. 'The Celestial Constellations expressed by Hebrew characters' asserted that the letters of the Hebrew alphabet could be interpreted from the constellations, as if the heavens could be opened up and read like a book.
As Gaffarel surmises in the chapter's title, 'That the Stars, according to the Opinion of the Hebrew Writers, are ranged in the Heavens, in the forme of Letters: and that it is possible to read there, whatsoever of Importance is to happen, throughout the Universe', messages were laden within the night sky as a sprawling alphabet to be read. The night sky becomes a massive concrete visual poem, of which its message rotates through a slow, constant cyclical transformation and re-formation. This stands in contrast to the mythological animals and creatures of astrological study, where meaning is derived from symbolism, rather than individual letters and words.
The Kabbalist text, splayed out upon the surface of a luminous pond, each letter denoting a source of light and the blank mass in-between, now emerges as a screen-printed silk scarf. From the larva of the silk moth, to the transmittance of starlight, the transference of traditional craft and the recording of thought on paper, the Carré Alchimique is a marking of time, from the micro to the macro and back again. The luxury limited edition No.1 communicates its own message now though, overlapping, folding and obscuring. Draped, the silk scarf is an esoteric emblem of the finest alchemical process.
