How to Write a DAC Panel Proposal
compiled by ABK, January 2001 (Comments to: firstname.lastname@example.com)
What Are the Goals and Structure of Your Proposed DAC Panel?
There are basically two types of DAC panels: "educational" and "debate".
Independent of which panel type you are proposing, the following generic questions always arise during committee discussions.
The successful panel proposal will address these as well as the other issues compiled in this web page.
Is the topic of general interest? DAC organizers count the attendance at each session, and track from year to year how well certain topics tend to draw audiences. This is not to say that all DAC panel proposals must be on the latest fad or sexy issue - but audience appeal is a factor.
What will the audience come away with when the session is over? Will they have something to use at work the following Monday? The successful panel session will not only draw an audience, but will leave them satisfied that their time was well spent. (Who is your target audience, and does it match the DAC attendee profile?)
How are you going to maximize audience impact? Choice of panelists by position or constituency, structure of the session time budget, order of presentations, use of moderated and free (audience) Q&A, etc. are among the organizer's degrees of freedom. Explain in your proposal how these choices are aimed at maximizing success.
Along similar lines: What is the anticipated impact of this panel, and of its topic, on the EDA field in general?
If certain positions are the domain of "technologists", then have you really populated the panel with the most credible R&D people (as opposed to, say, marketeers)?
Do you have real customers and designers on the panel, or is it vendor-dominated? (Depending on the context, vendor-dominated can be all right - but usually some real-world "tales from the trenches" help keep the discussion interesting and relevant.)
If you have a "debate" panel:
How are you going to avoid the pitfall of "much heat, little light"?
It helps to identify the three or four key questions that will focus the discussion.
It also helps to identify the various constituencies (e.g., flat vs. hierarchical, synthesis-centric vs. physical-centric, formal vs. ad hoc, ...) and how the panel membership covers the various viewpoints.
If you have an "education" panel:
How are you going to avoid the pitfall of too much "motherhood and apple pie"? E.g., do you have a "naysayer" who will say that this isn't a critical problem after all, that it's already solved by the EDA customer base, that the trend is a mirage, ...?
Are you sure that you've covered all bases, all constituencies?
In addressing these issues, it's not a bad idea for your proposal to end up looking somewhat like the example summaries that appear in the Proceedings (see the first three links
Your proposal should also clarify the anticipated structure of the panel.
3/4 of the sessions at DAC are 90 minutes long (the other 1/4 are 120 minutes long). How will you use the time? Following are two "tried and true" scenarios.
Scenario 1 begins a typical 90-minute session with a 5-10 minute introduction and context setting (what is the scope of the panel, what are the key questions to be illuminated during the 90 minutes, who are the panelists and what are their qualifications, what constituencies or viewpoints do the panelists represent, etc.). While the moderator can introduce the panelists and scope, sometimes in an "education" panel the first panelist will set the scope (e.g., an academic who flashes the ITRS slide, the laundry list of issues slide, etc. so as to avoid duplication in later talks).
Scenario 1 will then have around 7-minute position talks from each of 6 panelists. Counting transition times, this already uses up the first hour of the session. (Some moderators and organizers attempt to identify a few common questions that all panelists must answer -- or otherwise limit the position statements to, say, a maximum of 5 slides.)
Scenario 1 will then conclude with 30 minutes of moderated Q&A, often semi-scripted to highlight the distinctions between panelist viewpoints. It is nice to have audience Q&A, but this can be fairly random and unfocused, and is often less effective in terms of value to the audience. (The trend seems to be away from audience Q&A.)
In Scenario 2, the moderator leads off with a question which panelists will answer with their positioning statements. From there, the discussion begins. This is a less common organization, but on the occasions that it's been tried, it has worked well.
The above are just some possibilities. The main point is that session structure is a necessary component of a panel proposal.
Rough Outline of the DAC Panels Process
In a given year, DAC will have approximately eight (8) panel sessions. One or two may be "plenary", e.g., the "CEO panel" or the "Embedded Systems panel". The DAC Panels Subcommittee works with the Executive Committee and the TPC, trying to strike the right balance between programmatic needs ("growth in embedded systems"), programmatic balance ("need to have a system-level verification methodology panel"), current interests ("DSM timing closure is a hot topic"), setting direction for the EDA community ("future trends"), and projected audience interest.
Panel proposals are due at the same time as other submissions (late October). However, there is much more flexibility with panels than with technical papers, so you should send in your proposals late rather than waiting an extra year. In previous years, Terri Alexander at MP Associates (email@example.com, 303-530-4333/-4562) and the DAC Panels Subcommittee Chair have been the appropriate points of contact.
Anywhere from 30 to 50 proposals are received in a given year. These are reviewed by a Panels Subcommittee of around 6-8 TPC members, starting Tuesday evening of ICCAD week (early November) and continuing via teleconference, email, and a face-to-face meeting in the Bay Area in mid-December. Depending on issues of balance, quality, programmatic need, etc. the Panels Subcommittee may also solicit new proposals from members of the EDA community.
By mid-December, there are typically around 12 to 16 "live" proposals. Each is assigned to a "shepherd" who is a member of the Panels Subcommittee. If you are associated with a "live" proposal (e.g., as organizer/proposer), then you will probably be contacted by the shepherd in late December and early January to refine your proposal. The purpose of this contact is to initiate a process of improvement and definition of your proposal, so that it can be presented to the DAC TPC in its best possible light.
Please note that the concept of "your proposal" is somewhat vague. This is because there are often many similar proposals submitted to DAC. (For example, in recent years there are always multiple "perils of UDSM" proposals, "verification methodology" proposals, "new EDA business models" proposals, etc.) The Panels Subcommittee will tend to pick the strongest exemplar in each equivalence class, and use it as the basis for mixing and matching together a stronger proposal. Thus, your proposal may appear to be "rejected", even though essentially the same panel idea ends up in the program. Conversely, your proposal may appear to be "selected", but the reason may be as insignificant as the title or the moderator's name.
At the DAC TPC meeting, which typically takes place in the Boulder area on the third Thursday in January, all live proposals are presented by shepherds to the entire TPC. (Because of time constraints, typically each entire proposal is boiled down into 1 or 2 PowerPoint slides. Examples are (last three links)
. Feedback is obtained. Based on all inputs (including the number of available session slots), the Panels Subcommittee internally agrees on a recommended slate of panels. As noted above, there are typically around eight panels at this stage. These panels are cleaned up during the last part of January to address any TPC concerns, and to solidify title/abstract and participant data.
The cleaned-up slate of panels is subject to approval at the DAC Executive Committee meeting, which typically occurs on the second weekend in February. Until this approval is obtained, nothing is officially in the DAC program.
By mid-February, the Advance Program must be finalized. This means that all moderator and panelist names, affiliations and locations must be locked down. Typically, a 60- to 80-word panel abstract is written for use in web and/or printed advance publicity.
By the end of March, the Proceedings must be finalized. This means that a 1-2 page double-column summary of the panel (abstract, position statements, etc.) must be sent to the publisher in both softcopy and hardcopy form. Panel organizers work closely with shepherds on this. See the EXAMPLES (first three links)
Well before DAC, it is recommended that the moderator and panelists get together -- not only by email, but face-to-face -- in order to agree on the key issues that will be discussed, as well as the structure of the panel, order of presentations, contrast of position statements, etc.
Note that all panel presentations must be approved by DAC in advance. A number of guidelines re appropriate use of logos, level of overt product marketing, etc. must be followed. Organizers and shepherds must work closely with panelists so that presentation materials are available for review in a timely way.
Caveat: For DAC-2002, there is a plan to shift the due dates (and thus the schedule) later, e.g., the submission deadline will likely be at the beginning of December, and the rest of the Panels schedule will likely shift accordingly. Stay tuned for updates.
Tips for a Successful Proposal and Pleasant DAC Panels Experience
The ideal number of panelists is either five (5) -- especially for a 90-minute session -- or perhaps six (6). Seven is too many for a 90-minute session (as noted above, 3/4 of all DAC sessions are 90 minutes long).
Please do not fudge the participant list. When you say that someone is "confirmed", they should be. Proposals lose credibility when a committee member contacts the "confirmed" moderator or panelists and finds out that they never heard of the proposal.
Please do not attempt to put two members of the same organization onto the panel, e.g., as Moderator and Panelist. "Same organization" encompasses any obvious close business or personal relationship. (Examples: investor/VC, board member, advisor, co-developer, co-marketer, future acquisition/merger, ...) Such relationships will not escape scrutiny, will weaken the proposal, and are an invitation for DAC to start changing your panel composition. The basic guideline is this: a DAC panel is not a commercial or a forum for product announcements, and should not be stacked with any given company's own customers. There are never any "slots" on panels that may be filled at the discretion of a company.
Please do not expect to "own" your proposal. DAC owns the panel proposals, and feels free to mix, match, re-spin, etc. according to what is best for the DAC program. The best-case outcome for a proposer/organizer is to still be listed as such (probably jointly with a DAC TPC member) in the program and proceedings.
If you are the proposer and have a public relations firm as your affiliation, please do not tell the shepherd that Company X
be on the panel because that is how you get paid. The argument just doesn't have any impact. (And even if it is injected into the committee discussion, someone will say, "Hey, those guys work on retainer anyway".)
Please do not "spam" low-quality proposals. Sometimes the Panels Subcommittee will see 5 proposals from the same "organizer", with each proposal having just a title ("EDA and the Third World", "What Your Mother Never Told You About Dealing With EDA Sales Organizations: The Fourth-Quarter Lever", ...) plus about 2 lines of content. Some of these might be good, but no one will ever know: they're likely to be thrown away immediately. Weak proposals also tend to damage viable proposals that come from the same source.
Please try to find a good title. Obviously, a title such as "The Purpose of A System-Level Design Language is to Maximize Productivity of Designers Who Are Used to Using MATLAB" won't pass muster... but you'd be surprised how many titles in proposals look like this. A good title is catchy and crisp, and clearly sets out the question or issue that the panel will address. Remember, all that the DAC audience has to go on -- in determining whether to attend a panel -- are the names of the panelists and the description in the program. Only rarely will the audience look to the proceedings for help. If you have some recognizable names, this will help, but in any case, make the title and description of the panel appealing. (Here are some building blocks of the generic DAC panel title: "From the Trenches", "What's Next", "Past Problems and Future Solutions", "Impact on EDA", ... you get the idea. Put a colon in there and you're set!)
Please think hard about the "Q" of the moderator and panelists. Of course they don't have to be telegenic, but good stage presence, quick repartee and humor, etc. are all helpful attributes. DAC organizers are concerned about this aspect of the panel, and proposals can lose out based on the perceived verbal strengths or weaknesses of the session participants.
Please do not submit a proposal if you are not able and willing to follow through. "Follow through" means (i) rapid turnaround time with your shepherd, (ii) flexibility with respect to panel composition (no attempted pocket-vetos, please), (iii) active help in tracking down position statements and PowerPoint presentations from panelists, (iv) coordinating setup meetings before DAC, etc. It
a lot of work and responsibility.
Please do not attempt to go around your shepherd or the DAC Panels Subcommittee in setting the content of, e.g., the Advance Program, the Final Program, or the Proceedings. Because MP Associates and the proceedings publisher are extremely busy during the February to April time frame, it is possible to pull a fast one (e.g., list a phantom panelist or organizer). However, this will be remembered, and your name will be mud for years to come.

This New Old House
With its idyllic vistas and abundant greenways, a lakeside hamlet just a half-hour drive north of Copenhagen seems farther from the heart of the city than it is. Which is precisely why, one weekend three years ago, Jens Martin Skibsted, a founder of Danish brands KiBiSi and Biomega, and his wife, Naomi, a fashion entrepreneur from Zimbabwe, decided to purchase a waterfront retreat there.
Originally completed in 1897, the home was built by an anonymous Norwegian carpenter who introduced a taste for wood-frame houses with black siding in a region where neoclassical white-brick mansions with glazed black terra-cotta tile roofs had defined the local vernacular for years. A nod to the builder's heritage, the finials on the gabled roofs proudly echo the bows of wood Viking ships.
Upon seeing the property, the couple took to the building's charming historical details, picturesque top-floor balconies, and varying window shapes, all of which presented a dialogue about the passage of time. Naomi envisioned raising the couple's preschool son there, and Jens saw the potential to accommodate his own personal collection of "toys," which includes many bicycles and a classic 1977 Oldsmobile that belonged to his adventurous, centenarian grandmother, who hunted exotic wildlife when such things were fashionable. With direct access to a lake for swimming and boating, the house also promised an outdoor lifestyle that would allow Jens to be "fast out into nature," as he puts it.
"In theory I could have thrashed the inside to insert a modern space. But I decided not to because the old details are too beautiful." Jens martin Skibsted, resident
Other reasons had made moving out of their Copenhagen apartment, designed by the renowned Berlin-based architect Jürgen Mayer H.—necessary for the Skibsteds. Their home had become too small for the family, which at the time included three children and has since grown to include a fourth.
Acquiring the property, Jens and Naomi embraced the old-fashioned details of their new two-story suburban house. While others like it had been torn down or radically changed in recent decades, this one survived, perhaps because, as Jens explains, a merchant had transformed it into a more livable space in 1929 by adding heating radiators, a garage, and a winter dining room.
The most recent owner, a nonagenarian physics professor, had barely altered the structure, with the exception of adding ceramic wood-burning Swedish-style heaters. Those 1950s appliances, which took one craftsman an entire summer to make, "were very spare and modern in the context of this house," says Jens, who turned to Mayer to imbue the home with a similar modernity without ironing out its vintage essence.
Posts carved with typical geometric Norwegian motifs, a curved stairway in the foyer, and dark wood–paneled spaces on the ground floor were all distinguishing features that Mayer and the Skibsteds decided to save. The dated kitchen, three bathrooms, and the antiquated heating system, however, needed enhancements. The couple also added three bedrooms in the cellar, a large but cramped space with high floors.
Mayer liked that approach. "When you look at our projects, there is always a dialogue with history," he says. "Echoes of the past form a historical reference. The undulating roof of a cathedral or the domes of a church are elements that anchor their structures in history. We take such elements and exaggerate them."
The renovation, with the help of local firm MLRP and project architect Marcus Blum, from Mayer's firm, J. Mayer H. and Partners, encountered some setbacks. The team found dead rats under the kitchen floor, half the roof was rotten, and the staircase to the basement was undersized. "In theory, I could have thrashed the inside to insert a modern space," says Jens, "but I decided not to because the old details are too beautiful. Those are things you cannot get anymore."
Instead, they brightened dark areas of the interiors as much as possible. While dark wood ceilings and surfaces remain whole, the wall panels that stand at eye level, above wainscoting height, now have a new layer of bright white vertical slats. Velux Sun Tunnel skylights were added to open up the darkest corners of the house. The team also worked around the existing interior layout, which included several "dead-end corridors," Jens notes. "We would not do that today, but we kept some of them because that was the spirit of the house." Slightly rearranged, the top floor now incorporates hallway space going into the enlarged master suite. On the first floor, a pantry was folded into another space to bring in more light.
The team also gutted the systems, adding water and gas pipes, electrical wiring, insulation, and radiant heating beneath new wide-plank oak floors. New breathable wood-wool insulation allows the building to avoid fungal growth and rot. The renovations also reduced fire risk. "Before, the house had electrical wires that were cloth-wrapped and housed in wood boxes," says Jens. "It was kind of a death trap."
"I think the entire construction is interesting in its relation to the old house, echoing the history of the existing building." Jürgen Mayer H., Architect
Outside, vertically cantilevered powder-coated steel railings loop around a new back deck outfitted with a hot tub. The additions were adapted from Mayer's idea of landscaping as a palimpsest. Here, the notion is interpreted as a patchwork of varying materials: rubber surfaces for playing on, lush grass lawns, pale gray plastic grating, and asphalt tiles.
While Mayer and the team salvaged the majority of the home, they also added contemporary details rooted firmly in the present—most notably to the exterior of the building, which now features a collage of staggered box windows. "The house had been added on to, and it was like a catalog of window styles through the years," says the architect. "We simply added new window shapes to that catalog based on the existing ones."
At once bold and subtle, the new windows protrude from the facade, contrasting with the black siding. Uniting past and present, the new fenestrations speak the language of the old in a contemporary manner. But when the Skibsteds look at the house from their boat dock below, little seems different. "We have a modern house," says Jens. "But with this design, we saved a piece of history."

Before 2016 ended, I was lucky enough to sit down with MobCraft Beer's Head Brewer, Andrew Gierczak for a wide-ranging conversation. Ostensibly the reason for our meeting was to talk about his process for structuring the flavors of MobCraft's Tequila Barrel Aged Imperial Cream Ale, Señor Bob, but as I found, like the beers he brews (at least fourteen of which are currently on tap in MobCraft Beer's Walker's Point taproom) Andrew is not the kind of personality to be constrained by the subject at hand.
While he did discuss his process for crafting Seńor Bob (which I'll be writing about here on Milwaukee: Beer Craft in the upcoming week) our dialogue turned up a number of interesting insights ranging from fermentation, to brewing philosophy, and how beers age.
Here, in no particular order, are five of the most fascinating insights from our dialogue.
Smaller Is Better (Especially If You Love Variety)
The scale of production at marco-breweries means they face a serious problem when it comes to variety. As Andrews sees it, "when you're at that large scale, and you're … brewing millions of hectoliters of beer a year, you have to have some consistency, because if you don't you will sink very, very fast." The need for consistency essentially limits the variety of beers macro-breweries can brew because the production of each beer is so finely tuned and there's no range for variability.
"What is comes down to is the smaller you are the more you can afford to be experimental and the less you have to adhere to specific principles," Andrew continues. Case-in-point: MobCraft itself. "The wonderful thing … about the size we're at is that we can still do wonderfully experimental things but also be able to produce consistent products on a regular basis."
Just consider MobCraft's current tap list. They currently have, Brett Saison – a Saison conditioned with Brett, Hoppy Pils a dry hopped Pilsner, two different IPAs, Laughing Clown Imperial Chocolate Stout, and El Punto de Walker, a Lager. To say nothing of the beers chosen through their crowd-sourced model. All-in-all, MobCraft has at least fourteen of their own beers available on tap. That kind of variety is no small feat to achieve at a very large scale.
Brewers Are Alchemists
Depending on who you talk to, and what kind of beer they make, brewers generally think of themselves as either scientists, carefully manipulating sets of key variables to produce a product that meets specifications laid out by a recipe, or artists, crafting flavor through a process that's as much about technique and self-expression as about technical skill.
Thankfully, Andrew collapsed the dichotomy when he told me this: "Alchemy is this marriage of science and art." Seeing brewers as alchemists, who create liquid gold from ordinary elements, frees us up to appreciate both sides of a brewer's practice, and allows for a more complete picture of what they actually do in the brewery.
As Andrew says, "the true pinnacle of excellence is a marriage of those two narratives: it's not all art, it's not all science; its selective application for both depending on circumstance, depending on what you're going for."
Take MobCraft as an example. Some of the beers they produce are sour and wild ales, often aged for months in barrels with yeast and bacteria that can produce unpredictable flavors. These artistic beers often take time to develop the right character, and Andrew and his team often have to taste and sample them frequently to monitor their progress. Brett Saison, Night Creature, and Savor The Flavor are all examples of this style.
On the other hand, you have MobCraft's Hoppy Pils and El Punto de Walker, both carefully balanced, clean lagers which took careful designing and brewing.
But, as Andrew tells me, "it's really interesting to see how those narratives fuse and how everything works together." He couldn't be more right. To totally understand me, grab a flight of MobCraft's beers that includes sours like The Ale Project B, Night Creature, and Savor The Flavor, Brett Saison, the two lagers, and maybe Laughing Clown, a stout, and you can taste Alchemy at work.
The Classics Are Classic For A Reason
I love beer that's out of the ordinary. Mobcraft's Night Creature, a dark sour with malty notes of raisins? Yes, absolutely yes. But as good as Night Creature is, it's also an example of a beer which is relatively contemporary — which may be in part why I find it appealing. It's new. It's interesting.
What about the classics though? Old styles that were pretty well defined even before Michael Jackson wrote The World Guide To Beer in 1997. Bock, Pilsner, Stout, I'm looking at you.
About the classic beer styles, Andrew tells me "I'm thinking something along the lines of a Vienna or Munich lager — basically the kind of beers the Germans started brewing when they started their lagering process." "They hit upon a style of beer that wasn't readily available prior to that; it was very clean, mostly free of defects because it was stored at really cold temperatures, and the yeast was given more than enough time to clean up the beer and make it taste like nothing the world had ever seen before. And a lot of people drank it and a lot of people liked it."
Those clean, malty, balanced beers are famous worldwide because their flavor "structures work well for large amounts of people." So, as much as we may love something new, let's take a second to honor the brewers who, without modern brewing knowledge, created the beers our forefathers tipped back after a long day at work.
You can even find a few at MobCraft. Oddball Kӧlsh, Hoppy Pils, Shati, and Laughing Clown Stout may not be exactly what was brewing up in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, but they certainly pay homage to those classics.
Some Beers Age Better Than Wine
For many wine drinkers it's nothing new to line up vertical flights, tasting vintages of the same wine to see how it's changed over the years, but that's still a relatively new concept for beer drinkers.
In fact, strong, dark beers like Barleywines, Imperial Stouts, Dark and Light Belgian Strongs, all make good choices for aging if kept upright at around 54 𒎓𒓉degrees in a dark place. For a beer to age, there has to be what Andrew describes as "a base complexity to it."
Elaborating on how aging can change a beer, Andrew tells me, "beer can age just like wine — in fact in some cases it ages better. With age you do get some more complexity; you get smoother flavors rather than a distinct beginning, middle, end. You get a symphony. You get rolling hills, and it kind of goes, and it's smooth." Which just makes me want to drink an aged beer. Actually, let me just run down to the cellar.
Now take as an example Señor Bob, the Tequila Barrel Aged Imperial Cream Ale. I sipped with Andrew during our conversation. As we nose, quaff, and roll the beer around our mouths, it seems to me very changed.
"I don't think the character of the beer has changed," Andrew says, " the tone of the beer's changed. It's gone from little bit more aggressive, a little bit more up front, and now it's more like hanging out and chilling." There's a "spiciness to it on the front as opposed to an alcoholic assertiveness," he adds. All of which perfectly captures of how Seńor Bob has changed in the months since I first drank it.
Part of this change in flavors comes from the yeast in bottle-conditioned beer. As an aside, MobCraft bottle conditions all their wild and sour ales. The yeast first continues fermenting the residual sugar in beer and absorbing byproducts of its fermentation before eventually dying in a process called autolysis, which, in the best cases, produces hazelnut flavors. Certain esters can also develop in the bottle due to the small amount of oxygen introduced during bottling, and some malty flavors can turn nutty or toffee-like.
Another part of this change comes just from the beer aging in the bottle: hop aromatics degrade, and as they fade they reveal some of the more bold and robust malty flavors underneath.
This is exactly why I have a bottle of MobCraft's Barrel Aged LAughing Clown aging in my basement. Because it's delicious, and it's only going to get better.
If you're looking for more beers to age, go to MobCraft and grab Black Tart: Outlaw, a sour ale, Batch 100, a Golden Belgian, and Cherry Moon, an Imperial Stout, resist the temptation to immediately drink all three (and the urge will be strong, I assure you), then store the bottles in a cool, dark place for at least a year. They'll be delicious.
Or, as Andrews says, "these layers of complexity start to develop and you start to say 'wow, that's really fucking interesting.'"
I couldn't have said it better myself.
- Not all sugar is fermentable.
For most people it's common knowledge that to produce the sugar-rich liquid precursor to beer, called wort, brewers steep crushed grains in hot water, (mainly barley, but other grains too like wheat or oats, which brewers called adjuncts). This process, Andrew explains, is called mashing, and "converts [the grain's] starch into sugars." Brewers then boil the wort, cool it, and add yeast which ferments the sugars into ethanol alcohol, among other things.
What many people don't know is that "you can add non fermentable sugars to bring up the sweetness" in a beer. That's right. Typical brewers yeast cannot ferment every kind of sugar.
Take, for example, maltodextrin, which Andrew describes as "a complex chain of malt sugars" produced during mashing, "that normally contributes to body, head retention, mouthfeel, maltiness, and sweetness in different various levels." It's the residual maltodextrin left over after the yeast ferments the simpler sugars, that contributes to the sweet, malty, creaminess of Imperial Stouts and other styles of beer.
Lactose, or milk sugar, is also unfermentable by any kind of brewer's yeast, so brewers often add it to a Stout to create a thicker, sweeter, Milk Stout. MobCraft's Batshit Crazy is an example of a Coffee Brown Ale with coffee and lactose added to give some sweetness and body to the beer.
As one of MobCraft's flagship beers, this one should be easy to find in cans around the MIlwaukee area. Go grab one.

I recently acquired my all-time favorite fair isle sweater from eBay. Offered several years ago from Polo, I could never afford the sweater at retail and always found it selling around $100 on eBay. Finally, my luck changed a few weeks back when I discovered it for a list price of only $17.99. I put in a maximum bid of $50, though I figured to be outbid within a few days. Amazingly, no other bids were placed and, after a $5.65 shipping charge, the sweater arrived at my door.
Today I've paired it with a Polo poplin dress shirt, raw silk tie and brown cords, Club Room argyle socks and vintage Mancuso monkstrap shoes.
What's the longest you've waited to buy a long-desired item, whether from eBay or retail, and what was it?

Searched Christy's blog and found copies of canvasses of beautiful dresses hanging on a washing line. Whilst there were no instructions, the advantage of taking part in the creative journey over the last few months gave me confidence to create my own dress by referring to Cristy's finished pieces.
Created my background by using a colourful serviette I found at a local gift shop. I peeled back all the layers and just used the top layer. After preparing canvas with Gesso and when dry added mod podge and then my layer of serviette tissue paper
Once the glue dried, painted the sky and grass background
Canvas size 8"x8"
Ever wanted to know what to do with last year's calendar - use them in mixed media. All the layers of the dress were created with calendar cardstock
added a little lace, a touch of paint and then some stickles for some much needed bling.
the washing line is a Kaisercraft rub-on (one of my favourites) toghether with a couple of little birds here and there
Added more rubons and stamps for texture and layers
Side view as seen from the bottom right as facing the canvas.
One of the things I really like about the serviette background was once dry, did not give a smooth surface - so was fantastic to use as texture without too much extra effort.
From this side view can can see the texture, paint, rubons, stamps etc quite clearly

News from Mrs. Carli's 1st Grade Class
June 16, 2016
Upcoming Events
· Tuesday, June 21st – Game Day (bring a board game from home)
· Wednesday, June 22nd – Dismissal at 11:45 (Last day of school)
Hello Families!
In Math, we have been learning about graphing. We learned that every graph has a title and shows information or data about a topic. As a class, we graphed our favorite colors. Then, we created our own bar graphs (about favorite animals, favorite skylander character, favorite number, etc.) and polled each other to see which would be the most and least popular.
We have also been working on accurately identifying and counting pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters as we learn about money in Math. After reading a book about each coin, we made our own booklets. We also learned a money song to help us remember the name and value of each coin.
Earlier this week, we visited two third grade Wax Museums to learn about important people who have lived. The third graders dressed as their character and told about the significant events in their lives.
Our field trip to Drumlin Farm was a success! We learned about the plants they grow, their animals, as well as facts about some of the plants and animals in the nearby forest. We helped weed near the garlic plants and we each planted an acorn in the hopes that a new oak tree will grow.
Enjoy the summer, and keep on reading!
All of the children in our class have made great progress this year in reading. To get ready for second grade and to keep their brain sharp, have your child keep reading and writing! Below is a list of suggestions to practice.
- · Read everything! Signs, food boxes, magazines, etc.
- · Write me a letter! I promise to write back!
- · Keep a few books in the car.
- · Make a set time to read aloud to your child – even if it's just 5 minutes!
- · Make a set time for your child to read quietly to themselves.
- · Play reading games like hangman or brain quest.
- · Continue to use www.raz-kids.com
- · Make a set time for your child to visit www.starfall.com
- · Listen to stories online at www.storylineonline.net
Keep those Math brains sharp!
Make time to visit any of the following websites:
- · http://www.aplusmath.com (free games and worksheets)

Thank you
Thank you for sharing your child with me this year. I have looked forward to working with them each and every day and am truly amazed at the progress they all have made both socially and academically. I'd say we all had a successful year in first grade!
Have a great summer!

These 1.75 inch tall Chatoyant Actinolite and White Topaz Hanging Earrings come in a simple, elegant sterling silver setting, and feature two small white topaz gemstones dangling from the Actinolite gemstone itself. These earrings were fabricated in India.
Some beautiful gemstone specimens like these actinolite earrings exhibit a characteristic brilliant watery reflection on the surface of the stone as light changes or one's point of view shifts. This is known to gemologists as chatoyancy.
Coined from the French chat o'eil, meaning cat's eye, chatoyancy often occurs when light strikes fibrous material inside the stone, and is reflected off parallel strands of fiber included in the stone. This can create a reflection resembling a band or eye visible within the stone. An example of this form of chatoyant gemstone is tiger's eye quartz. Chatoyancy also occurs when light reflects from bands of fibrous inclusions or cavities within the stone, as in cat's eye chrysoberyl. Actinolite is a fibrous form of amphibole, and stones with actinolite inclusions can exhibit beautiful chatoyancy.
Properties of Actinolite
Ochre coloured actinolite is a mineral composed of hydrous calcium magnesium iron silicate. Energetically, this stone feels as though you are smoothing out all creases, anxieties & tensions in your mental, astral and physical bodies VERY quickly, because in our experience it seems to work first on the mental body, quieting the mind, then extending it's thorough yet gentle unwinding to the emotional body and finally the physical.
Actinolite soothes the soul, calms the mind, and relaxes the body. Actinolite strengthens, stimulates and harmonizes the individual's etheric, astral and causal bodies, releasing fears in a comforting energetic space, and providing for deep healing of long-held emotional and mental blockages.
Properties of White Topaz
Topaz is an extremely hard gemstone composed of Aluminum Fluorsilicate, which often grows as orthorhombic crystals in igneous, high-temperature rock formations. Gem quality Topaz can be found in a variety of colors, from colorless to pale greenish-yellow, yellow, orange-yellow and even blue.
Topaz is a prismatic crystal which seems to hold the qualities of the etheric, both as an attractor and as a conductor. Topaz is a valuable manifestation stone, which can help in visualizations designed to imprint your desired outcome in the subtle energy realms, and to act as a kind of subtle energy magnet, attracting that desired outcome into your life.
Topaz gets its name from the ancient Red Sea island once known as "Topazios", now called St. John's. Legend has it that the word "Topazios" meant "to seek" and that the island where this stone was first found was always surrounded by thick fog, making access to the stone difficult at best.
Topaz has been considered a valuable spiritual ally by the African bushmen for millennia.Their shamanic practitioners have used Topaz in traditional healing ceremonies, to connect with spirits departed from the Earth plane, and especially to attract wealth and health.
Topaz is known as a stone of love and worldly success. Topaz infuses the wearer with confidence while dispelling the fog of self-doubts and expels negativity from the user while encouraging attitudes of playfulness, joy and creativity. For these reasons, Topaz is thought to be the ideal stone to strengthen attitudes and energies of self-love.
As with all of our crystals and jewelry at SatyaCenter, these are first cleaned and cleared with Reiki energy, color and prayer, and then given a Reiki attunement.
Read more about crystals at the SatyaCenter Crystalpedia homepage. Check out the article "Using Quartz Crystals in Digital Technology, Healing and Meditation" for an overview of the metaphysical and mineralogical properties of quartz, and a step-by-step guide explaining how to cleanse, charge, and program quartz crystals for healing, meditation and other spiritual purposes.

Shahrukh Khan romances Mahira Khan – "Tu Shama Hai To Yaad Rakhna, Main Bhi Hun Parwana"
Now it is Superstar Shahrukh Khan's turn to give a New Year gift to his fans. The ultimate romantic hero's gift to fans is a glimpse to his romance with Mahira Khan in Raees which will hit the theaters later this month. The charm of King Khan is incomparable and unparalleled.
The first poster he shared on Monday featured his co-star, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan with SRK along with a dialogue: "Tu shama hai toh yaad rakhna… Main bhi hoon parwana." In the poster, Shahrukh is bruised and bleeding and seems to be in a painful state while Mahira, who is holding hands with SRK, looks grieved and connected with her love.
Tu shama hai toh yaad rakhna… Main bhi hoon parwana… pic.twitter.com/d0Y002yKyT
— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) January 2, 2017
In the next poster of Raees, Shahrukh features alone with the caption: "O Zalima"
Mahira Khan is not going to promote Raees in person in India. Last month, Shahrukh Khan met MNS chief Raj Thackeray at his Mumbai residence to clarify that Mahira will not be part of Raees promotions in India. After the meeting, Raj Thackeray told news agency ANI: "He (Shahrukh Khan) had come to inform that rumors about Mahira Khan promoting Raees are false."
Mahira Khan has posted a cute early morning picture which says a lot about Raees.
The first trailer of Raaes released in November and started trending on internet. It received 12 million views in 24 hours. Special dance number Laila Main Laila topped international Youtube chart setting a new record.
Raees, now releasing on January 25, a day before Republic Day, was rescheduled twice to avoid clash, first with Salman Khan's Sultan and then with Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The Rahul Dholakia-film however will still open alongside Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil.
Stay tuned for more from Bollywood, only on Bollywood Red.

Summer Sun Safety Tips
The summer is here and we are all looking forward to the picnics, volleyball and swimming at the beach. But we are also concerned about sun damage and sun damaged skin. After all, we are all aware now of the real danger of developing the most deadly skin cancer, which is melanoma. Melanoma is the fastest growing skin cancer in the United States and is caused in large by ultraviolet rays (UV) and ultraviolet exposure to the sun. Our doctors and medical groups are recommending that adults and kids, alike, follow sun safety guidelines and adhere to our summer safety tips. Cancer prevention and healthy living should be a big part of your fun-filled summer! Don't let the dangers of sun exposure and eye damage ruin your life by causing premature aging, or cataracts, or worse, skin cancer and melanoma!
The following summer safety tips can help you enjoy the beach without guilt or worry. And more importantly without all the sun damage to your skin and just as important, to your eyes.
Minimize your Exposure to Ultraviolet Rays
Avoid direct sun when possible between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM and stay inside or in the shade. This is when the sun is brightest and you will receive way too much UV (ultraviolet rays). Sun also reflects from the water, sand,and even sidewalks. If you or your kids have to be in the direct sunlight during these hours take as many precautions as you can. Remember to practice sun safety and follow our summer safety tips in order to prevent permanent skin damage.
Always use Sunscreen or Sunblock and make sure it is an Effective Product
Always use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater. A few years ago everyone thought the SPF15 was sufficient but studies are showing that SPF15 isn't offering us quite enough sun protection. And sun safety for our child is number one on our list of sun safety facts so we want to be sure that the sunblock or sunscreen we are using has a large enough SPF (Sun Protection Factor) number to protect our health. Make sure the sunblock or sunscreen you use has broad spectrum characteristics which offers protection from both the UVA (uva rays) and also the UVB rays (uvb rays). Make sure to cover all exposed areas of your body with sunblock or sunscreen when you are outside tanning or just hanging out at the beach.
Know the new FDA Guidelines
There are new guidelines that are taking effect by the summer of 2012 that will include that all sunscreens labeled broad spectrum will have to be tested to the the minimum standard of UVA (ultraviolet rays) protection. All sunscreens will list their SPF rating..example, SPF15. But the products without the broad spectrum rating will only rate UVB protection. A better sunscreen, especially for kids, should be broad spectrum based since they need protection against both UVB and also UVA (ultraviolet rays) exposure. This is probably one of the best sun safety tips of this summer. I just hope these new sun safety tips are seen by everyone….so pass these sun safety facts to your friends too. Keep in mind that the higher the SPF the greater the protection you will have. Remember that sunscreens also need to be reapplied every few hours and always after coming out of the water. There are some sunscreens that claim to be water resistant and these sunscreens will now be labeled as such. Just another good sun safety fact .
Make sure that You and Your Family always wear Sunglasses
Another good sun safety tip that especially addresses kids safety is to always wear sunglasses with protective lenses to shield the eyes also from the UV (ultraviolet rays) Sun safety cannot be stressed enough in this area. I know many of us adults wear UV sunglasses but make sure your kids have UV sunglasses too. Don't buy them that cheap pair of plastic glasses you see so often. Make sure they are rated UV also. An optometrist told me recently that the most damage to the eyes are done before the age of 18. I wish I had know that when I was a kid and my parents took me to the beach. I never wore sunglasses to protect from the UV (ultraviolet) rays. As a matter of fact sun safety for kids or anyone else wasn't too popular back then. And nothing was ever mentioned about sun damage to the skin or eyes. No mention of sun damage at all. I wish there were some summer safety tips way back then, because I spent many days suffering from a sunburn…and unfortunately I am now showing some early signs of sun damaged skin. But there was no guidelines about kids safety then. There was no mention of sun safety!!
Wear Protective Clothing when exposed to the Sun
And one more tip …..make sure you and your kids wear protective clothing if you have to be in the sun and exposed to the UV (ultraviolet rays) during the hottest part of the day. Wear long sleeved shirts and light color clothes, and always wear a wide-brimmed hat. Wearing hats are fun and cool anyway, but are a definite must to protect your children. And be aware that some medications your kids may be using, increases the skins sensitivity to UV, ultraviolet rays. Especially light and fair skinned kids are at risk but it can effect even kids with darker complexions. They can develop a bad sunburn in a matter of minutes when using some medications. Again practice sun safety and kids safety always.
The Sun can Hurt your Child or Baby
And now we come to your new baby… Here are a few summer safety tips designed just for them… Your most precious thing in life has arrived ..your new baby. You are definitely the most proud mama in the world, and are doing everything for your new baby by the book. You are taking no chances and are referring to the experts for everything from nursing, sleeping,teething…..you name it, and you are reading every bit of research you can. Any questions or doubts, and you are calling friends and asking your doctor. So don't take the sun for granted and neglect to give, sun and sunlight,a lot of thought also. We must all be made aware of sun safety. Many of the summer safety tips refer to infants.So make sure it is part of your baby reading list. Its most likely under sun safety facts or maybe just safe sun.. but its there.
Your baby should be kept out of the sun at all times before the age of 6 months. Babies are extremely susceptible to heat stroke, and to the short term and long term damage of sunburn. Just one case of sunburn in a child's life raises their risk of the most deadly type of skin cancer which is melanoma. Heat stroke in babies (which is often referred to as sun stroke) happens when your baby gets overheated . Babies are very prone to this, since they are not yet capable of regulating their body temperature. This can happen whether they are out in the sun,riding in a car or just being over dressed. And most of us have had at least one sunburn in our lives. Imagine how painful this would be to your new baby…not to mention the danger of dehydration and fevers that are also symptoms of a baby with a sunburn. So sun safety for babies is a must.
So keep your babies out of the sun, especially between 10 am and 4 pm and be aware that babies can also be harmed with skin damage from sun exposure on cloudy and hazy days so stay in the shade during these hours. If you or your family must be in the sun, keep covered as much as possible in light protective clothing and a wide brimmed hat at all times.
Check with your Doctor or Pediatrician
And refer to the best sources and ask your pediatrician or doctor to recommend sun safety tips for babies….and in later years ask for safety facts and sun safety tips for your young children or older teen. Good information and research will keep your family safe from sun damaged skin and premature aging due to sun exposure.
I hope you have a wonderful and fun filled summer……but whatever you do whether its boating, camping, picnicking, tanning, or a day on the beach remember to maintain sun safety in the summer……I sure wish I had them back in the day.

EMANUEL JOHNSON, JR., Plaintiff,
JOHN ASHCROFT, et. al. Defendants.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: RICARDO URBINA, District Judge
A. Factual History
The plaintiff, an African-American male, worked as a special
agent with the FBI between 1973 and 1999. Compl. at 13. During
that time, the plaintiff was a named plaintiff in a Title VII
class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia by African-American special agents
against the FBI. Id. at 26. That lawsuit, commonly known as the
BADGE lawsuit, settled in 1993. Id.; Mem. in Support of Pl.'s
Opp'n to Defs.' Mot. to Dismiss ("Pl.'s Opp'n") at 4. After
retiring from the FBI, the plaintiff began working as a special
agent with the OIG. Pl.'s Opp'n at 3-4. Although it is unclear
from the plaintiff's complaint, it seems that the plaintiff
applied to work at the OIG twice: once in 1998 and once in
1999.*fn2 Compl. at 4, Ex. E. In Counts III and IV of the plaintiff's complaint,*fn3 the
plaintiff alleges that D.C. defendants Prettyman and Wyllie
conspired to interfere, and did interfere, with his employment
relationship with the OIG. Id. at 25-71. Specifically, the
plaintiff alleges that Wyllie spread rumors about him and that he
was not selected for a position at the OIG in 1998 as a result.
Id. at 67-68. The plaintiff further alleges that Prettyman
improperly considered racially-charged statements made by federal
defendant Carter in his decision not to hire the plaintiff in
1998. Pl.'s Opp'n at 4, Ex. E. The plaintiff claims that he found
out about Wyllie's and Prettyman's actions after on April 14,
2003, when he heard Richard Sullivan's testimony at a trial
related to the plaintiff's termination from the OIG, Johnson v.
Ashcroft et al., No. 00-cv-2743. Pl.'s Opp'n at 2-3, 8, Ex. E.
The remaining counts of the plaintiff's complaint allege that
some of the D.C. defendants provided false evidence to the court
during the proceedings surrounding his termination from the OIG
after he was hired in 1999. Compl. 72-74. The plaintiff contends
that the false evidence, consisting of a trial exhibit and an
affidavit, resulted in an adverse ruling in Johnson v. Ashcroft
et al., No. 00-cv-2743, on July 9, 2003. Compl. at 73-74; Pl.'s
Opp'n at 8.
B. Procedural History
The plaintiff filed the complaint in the current action on July
9, 2004. The plaintiff claims that he executed requests for
waiver of service as to the D.C. defendants in the early part of
November 2004. Pl.'s Opp'n at 5. Defendant Banks returned a
signed request for a waiver of service on November 13, 2004, id. at 2, and was the only D.C.
defendant to return the request for waiver of service. See
Compl. at 6; Def.'s Mot. at 5.
The D.C. defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on
December 21, 2004 because the plaintiff failed to effect timely
service. Additionally, the D.C. defendants claim that the
plaintiff's complaint is time barred by the applicable statute of
limitations. The court now turns to the defendants' motion.
A. Failure to Effect Timely Service
The defendants first argue that the complaint should be
dismissed because the plaintiff did not effect timely service on
the D.C. defendants, as required by Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 4(m). Defs.' Mot. at 4. The court agrees that the
plaintiff failed to effect timely service. But, because this
Circuit gives wide latitude to pro se plaintiffs and because
the D.C. defendants have not been prejudiced by the late service,
the court, in its discretion, declines to dismiss the plaintiff's
complaint for failure to timely serve the defendants.
1. Legal Standard for a Rule 12(b)(5) Motion to Dismiss for

Tottenham's long-term injury absentees Danny Rose and Erik Lamela have returned to first-team training.
Argentina midfielder Lamela, 25, has not played in almost 12 months because of hip problems.
Left-sided full-back Rose, 27, has been sidelined since late January with a knee injury.
The England player caused controversy in the summer with his comments about Tottenham's pay structure and transfer strategy.
He subsequently apologised following an interview with the Sun, in which he voiced dissatisfaction at the amount he and his team-mates were paid. He also said Spurs needed to sign well-known players and "not ones you had to Google".
His last game was against Sunderland on 31 January.
Lamela, who last played in the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in October 2016, has problems with both hips and was not named in Tottenham's squad for the group stages of this season's Champions League.
Spurs, who host Bournemouth this Saturday, are third in the Premier League, five points behind Manchester City and Manchester United.

I was a shy child, and most of my time I remember was spent wandering the pastures of my rural Texas hometown. Prickly pear cactus was a big part of my life visually.
We were poor, so I took pencils home from school and drew on brown paper bags from the grocery store. As soon as I could, I moved to the nearest big city, San Antonio, then to Houston and finally Dallas. After a career of 17 years in Dallas I needed to escape the big city and return to a simpler, less anxious life.
As of 2003 I moved into seclusion outside a small rural Texas town. My days are spent at the easel either outdoors or in the studio and I rarely leave my secluded cottage, except to return to those long walks from my childhood in the pastures.
I prefer to stay quiet and observe the world around me, things that would happen even if I was not here, but that would not be perceived in my way.
My goal is to
live in even deeper seclusion, to paint even more and watch and listen.
Where once I stood in front of a mirror for approval,
I now look into a canvas for fulfillment.

> Different species ELISA kit
> Equine ELISA kit
> Equine Interleukin-23 subunit alpha , IL23A ELISA Kit
- ELISA Kit
- Equine Interleukin-23 subunit alpha , IL23A ELISA Kit
- This gene encodes a subunit of the heterodimeric cytokine interleukin 23 (IL23). IL23 is composed of this protein and the p40 subunit of interleukin 12 (IL12B). The receptor of IL23 is formed by the beta 1 subunit of IL12 (IL12RB1) and an IL23 specific subunit, IL23R. Both IL23 and IL12 can activate the transcription activator STAT4, and stimulate the production of interferon-gamma (IFNG). In contrast to IL12, which acts mainly on naive CD4(+) T cells, IL23 preferentially acts on memory CD4(+) T cells. [provided by RefSeq]

Protocol may be improved. Please feel free to contact meretciel product specialist to obtain the latest version.
Specificty: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Equine IL23A. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Equine IL23A and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%
Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%
Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
Sample collection and storage: Serum: Use a serum separator tube (SST) and allow samples to clot for two hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C before centrifugation for 15 minutes at 1000 ×g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Plasma: Collect plasma using EDTA, or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 ×g at 2-8°C within 30 minutes of collection. Assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Assay procedure: Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. Centrifuge the sample again after thawing before the assay. It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate.
1. Prepare all reagents, working standards, and samples as directed in the previous sections.
2. Refer to the Assay Layout Sheet to determine the number of wells to be used and put any remaining wells and the desiccant back into the pouch and seal the ziploc, store unused wells at 4°C.
3. Add 100μl of standard and sample per well. Cover with the adhesive strip provided. Incubate for 2 hours at 37°C. A plate layout is provided to record standards and samples assayed.
4. Remove the liquid of each well, don't wash.
5. Add 100μl of Biotin-antibody (1x) to each well. Cover with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C. (Biotin-antibody (1x) may appear cloudy. Warm up to room temperature and mix gently until solution appears uniform.)
6. Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process two times for a total of three washes. Wash by filling each well with Wash Buffer (200μl) using a squirt bottle, multi-channel pipette, manifold dispenser, or autowasher, and let it stand for 2 minutes, complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining wash Buffer by aspirating ordecanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels.
7. Add 100μl of HRP-avidin (1x) to each well. Cover the microtiter plate with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
8. Repeat the aspiration/wash process for five times as in step 6.
9. Add 90μl of TMB Substrate to each well. Incubate for 15-30 minutes at 37°C. Protect from light.
10. Add 50μl of Stop Solution to each well, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
11. Determine the optical density of each well within 5 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 450 nm. If wavelength correction is available, set to 540 nm or 570 nm. Subtract readings at 540 nm or 570 nm from the readings at 450 nm. This subtraction will correct for optical imperfections in the plate. Readings made directly at 450 nm without correction may be higher and less accurate.
Calculation of results: Using the professional soft "Curve Expert 1.3" to make a standard curve is recommended, which can be downloaded from our web.
Average the duplicate readings for each standard and sample and subtract the average zero standard optical density.
Create a standard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a standard curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each standard on the x-axis against the concentration on the y-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the IL23A concentrations versus the log of the O.D. and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data.
If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.

BOSTON -- Julian Edelman wasn't at Children's Hospital Boston to talk about football on National Pancake Day. He was there to decorate flapjacks for sick kids like Paige.
Paige is shy; her parents did most of the talking to Jerod Mayo, Kevin Faulk, and Edelman at the Patriots' appearance. The little girl nestled further into her hospital bed as the pros spoke, surrendering a smile only when Edelman fetched her a small teddy bear.
"We watched you guys in the Super Bowl!" Paige's mother gushed.
"Probably should have switched to cartoons . . ." Edelman said wryly.
Of course, there's no avoiding football for a football player. But his sense of humor was fresh all morning. Even with reporters.
"I didn't go to the Combine. I wasn't good enough for the Combine," the former Kent State quarterback grinned.
Former quarterback. Special teamer. Sometimes receiver. Sometimes cornerback. Labeling Edelman has become an ever-changing exercise over the last three years. He got significant snaps as a defensive back last season, splitting his time with both offense and defense.
His versatility adds an air of intrigue to this offseason.
"I'll be a little bit everywhere," Edelman said. "Obviously going to hit it hard, study the film hard on what I have to prepare, take the coaching from the coaches and go from there. I'm excited for the opportunity to get better this offseason and I'm going to take advantage of it.
"I haven't really gone over everything. I've just been trying to wind down and mentally get away from everything. But I'll be discussing that with my coaches soon."
Edelman and Chad Ochocinco are the only two receivers under contract for 2012. That number will stand pat if, as common sense would suggest, Ochocinco gets cut and Wes Welker is tied down. That fact, and April's NFL Draft, will impact Edelman somehow.
Just not yet. For the moment, he seems content to decompress.
"I did design a mean pancake," he said. "Little bear nose, whip cream ears. I think the kids really enjoyed it."

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Plainview District Curriculum
The elementary science curriculum helps students build the knowledge and skills they need to engage in scientific studies. Students acquire the ability to develop questions and hypotheses, and participate in experiments to test those hypotheses. Learners develop basic skills, such as the ability to observe, record, analyze, and report data. Students learn how to gather information about a research question, including from the Internet and print materials, in order to devise informed conclusions about possible answers. Students also work with models to get a clearer picture of their research question.
Plainview's high school students participate in an English language arts curriculum that includes the study of complex literary and informational texts. Students develop the ability to read for textual details that inform readers of the author's intent. Students also learn how to use the information they've gathered to participate in informed discussions about their readings. Using the context of the readings, students learn the meanings of unfamiliar words and phrases as well. The skills necessary to summarize literary and informational texts are also gained.
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: Writing an Impactful College Essay
The college essay is an extremely important component of the application materials. It is an opportunity for applicants to convey their personality and explain why their experiences and achievements make them an excellent candidate for admission. However, the process of writing the essay can be overwhelming for many kids. To ensure their essay is of the highest quality, students need to keep it short. This isn't to say they should gloss over details, rather, they should be concise in addressing all aspects of the essay prompt. It is also important for students to write in a manner that is easy to read and features a coherent flow from one idea to the next. Admissions officers will not view kindly an essay that is poorly written. College applicants should also strive to bring individuality to their essay. In a sea of essays, admissions officers are looking for something that is impactful and stands out. Writing from one's unique perspective using vivid language and details can do just that.

Looking For A Good Back Pain Doctor In Orange County?
Low back pain and neck pain are two major health problems of the modern era. Unfortunately, many people suffer from chronic back or neck pain that does not get better despite traditional medical care. The goal of treatment is to promote tissue healing and improve the function of the musculoskeletal system in order to restore normal everyday activity and minimize disability.
Although the natural course of an acute episode of low back or neck pain is generally favorable, pain and impairments will often persist and may become chronic in nature. In some cases, it can become severe if symptoms are not taken seriously. Many medical professionals encounter patients with low back and neck pain on a regular basis and treat them with a variety of interventions. These professionals include physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists to name a few. However, some of these practitioners specialize in the care of patients with spine related problems.
A physical therapist experienced in spine care is specially equipped to help patients suffering from spinal disorders and spine related symptoms due to their knowledge of evidence-based spine interventions, background in anatomy, biomechanics, neurophysiology and hands-on treatment approaches. A variety of interventions may be used to prevent and diminish pain, impairments, and disability associated with spinal disorders. Examples of some commonly used interventions include manual orthopedic physical therapy, specific exercise techniques, aquatic therapy as well as ergonomic intervention and education.
