My very first Videocast!!!
Of course, I've been doing videos forever, so this is nothing new, but I will definitely start doing an occasional videocast of just my mug detailing what I'm working on and how the project is going.
Sometimes it's really nice to share and get feedback. You'll notice that I'm working on the Winter Wonderland quilt in a "quilt as you go" method.
If you've never heard of this method, "quilt as you go" is exactly what it sounds like. You quilt each block separately, then put them all together at the end.
While I'm familiar with the method, I have no clue how I'm going to put the blocks together when they're done!
I'm not too worried about it right now, but I'll be sure to let you know what I decide to do when the quilt is closer to completion.
I mention another quilt that I'm wanting to piece for a long overdue bed quilt for Josh and I to use. Browsing around at the Fat Quarter Shop I found this Delft Remix fabric that I just HAD to have.
We definitely need a new bed quilt. Currently we're sleeping under a pink and white quilt that I learned how to stipple on way back in 2006.
Let's just say that my husband tolerates a whole bunch (almost half our house is now taken over by quilting), but I don't think he can go another month with a pink quilt.
Come to think of it, I don't think I can stand another month with that pink quilt!
So I plan to piece up the 10" squares into a super quick quilt using the very sure formula:
So until my life gets turned back to normal, don't hold it against me if I go a little MIA for awhile.
I won't go far, and you know I can't stand to not post 2 days in a row, but I figure if anytime is a good time to chill out and quilt like a mad woman, it's during the super crazy holiday season.
Wishing you all a very safe, happy holiday!

WIND Mobile has opened up pre-registration for the BlackBerry Z10 in Canada, and told us that it would be available this month. Meanwhile Mobilicity confirmed with us that they'll get it (and have been teasing the Z10 since the announcement), though there's no announcement about date or pricing just yet.
The Big Three carriers and their subsidiaries dominated the Toronto launch event - not only when the Canadian speakers were on stage, but also in the app exhibition area. The Z10 is a big launch for Canadians, and WIND and Mobilicity will be awfully late to the game if they're on the American availability schedule. We're fairly sure the Z10 from Rogers, Bell and TELUS does not support AWS, and even if it did, we're having a heck of a time unlocking the SIM slot.
Any WIND or Mobilicity customers trying to get their mitts on a Z10? Would you bite the bullet and sign up with Rogers, Bell, or TELUS if they don't have Z10s available relatively soon?

WILMINGTON, Mass. — After going through their off-ice testing and then skating through two sessions totaling around two hours at Ristuccia Arena, the Bruins' rookies earned the seal of approval from assistant general manager Jim Benning.
"Well the guys all showed up in good shape," said Benning after the first day of rookie camp. "The guys that were at development camp, they put in the work the last couple months and they all looked good. So we'll see. They'll play the exhibition games on the Island and we'll decide who's going to come to main camp from there."
On paper, it would seem the Bruins' NHL roster is too filled-up with veterans to have room for a rookie with no prior NHL or even professional experience. The odds that a Milan Lucic, Blake Wheeler or Tyler Seguin will emerge in a few weeks are slim.
However, Benning didn't want to close the door on any opportunity for his phenoms.
"I would tend to agree since the team won the Stanley Cup, but we don't know for sure," said Benning about the stiff challenge for a rookie trying to make the NHL roster. "We're just going to have to go through the process of this camp and then main camp and then, the one thing about Peter [Chiarelli] and Claude [Julien], if a player deserves to be on the team, then they find a way to get the player on the team. So with time that'll work itself out."
Jared Knight and Ryan Spooner, Boston's second-round picks in 2010, seem like the players with the best chance to break through. Both made it deep into NHL training camp last fall and then got a cup of coffee with the Providence (AHL) farm club.
"They went through the process last year, so they understand the size and the speed of NHL players and American Hockey League players," said Benning. "So they've showed up in excellent shape, both of them. And I'm sure as we go through camp that they'll be able to show everything they've got as players because they've given themselves an opportunity to show it by coming in such good shape."
Some of the other bigger names in this camp are this year's first-round and second-round picks Dougie Hamilton and Alexander Khokhlachev and 2009 third-round pick Ryan Button.
While the Bruins' Cup win might mean they're deeper and their lineup is tougher to crack, it also means an added burst of enthusiasm for those players arriving to camp.
"I think everybody's excited. Everybody's excited to come to camp, to start up this year," Benning said. "So I think everybody's come in good shape and they're going to put their best foot forward and see what they can do in these exhibition games and going forward."

You were going to be a girl. I just knew it. Boys have dominated the Bean family for years. It's been a baby blue tsunami for generations now—dude, after dude, after dude—but you were going to change that. My sons Jackson and Tanner didn't know it, but they were going to move in together, into the bedroom at the end of the hallway and share bunk beds. You would have gotten the middle bedroom, the one closest to Mom and Dad's room. It would have pink, lime green and chocolate. Your name would have been Tova or Adelaide.
For years, we've thought about you. We debated creating you. There were tears. It was yes and then no. Then yes again, then no again. In one moment, we scrutinized your existence in crude, basic, selfish terms: the cost, the timing, the added responsibility, what it would mean to our careers and lifestyle. Then in the next moment, we eagerly anticipated your existence as your big brothers got older, became increasingly independent, began talking like teenagers. The remnants of baby in Tanner's six-year-old face keeps us from missing you even more.
But decisions have to be made, precautions must be taken. You can't just wing family. So there's a plan in place. There will be a medical procedure, probably in the fall. It's simple, my buddy says. Buy a few bags of frozen peas at the grocery store. Stay off your feet for a couple days, and you'll be fine.
Never knowing you is a strange thing considering you were almost here. The pregnancy test showed a plus sign. We announced the news to the family. And then, you were gone. I called my mom the next morning. Sitting in a parking garage, I told her the news. She was kind, sympathetic and supportive. I hung up, and cried, my head on the steering wheel.
It's only now, faced with the idea of never knowing you, that I want to know you. I want to yell Addy, come downstairs for dinner. I want friends to tell us Tova is a beautiful name; in turn, I would tell them it's Hebrew for "good."
But I can't overlook what I already have. We are a happy family. We are healthy: All our digits and organs are accounted for. We are perfectly proportioned: Standing shoulder to shoulder, we resemble a bar graph of the Russian economy after the fall of communism. We are lucky: There are endless treats in the pantry, and a kidney-shaped hole in the back yard filled with chlorinated water.
I don't want to be the guy who wants what he hasn't got. I want to be the guy who treasures what he has now. So I'm saying goodbye, sweet girl.
I'm sure you'll still hear us talk about you every now and then. What if we… Imagine what it might be like… Woulda shoulda coulda. And who knows: Maybe one day we will meet. Maybe in spite of all our careful planning and responsible strategizing, you'll find your way here anyway. It's totally possible, right? After all, family can never end. It can only begin.

1 - Allen at the Raiders - I think he is given a pass till they get some of their cap issues under control, they may do a search to find a coach that has a scheme such as Pete and McCarthy in GB that can work and be taught. Not sure if they go public or not this year.
2 - Reid in Philly - Writing has been on the wall all season and they have let so many front office people go lready, he's gone.
3- Ryan in NY - I think the Rex Ryan fiasco has ran it's course, he is gone as well.
4 - Gailey Buffalo - Gailey has the QB issues he has dealt with, the tam was suppose to contend this year, does Ralph Wilson give him one more shot, new stadium and lease being discussed as well. They may go big name if the can. I think he manages to stay and they go after a QB in FA or draft hard.
5 - Shurmer Browns - Been done since new ownership
6 - Schwartz Detroit - The failure and collapse this year is on him, I think he's gone.
7 - Garret Dallas - Jons says he supports Garret, unless he can get Holmgren or Reid, then it will be forgotton.
8 - Crennell KC - I think he's gone, Pioli has to or possibly be gone as well.
9 - Turner San Diego - Gone and done as a HC
10 - Whisenhunt Arizona - Be surprised to see him stay after the QB situation there.
10 Hotseats come Monday in my book, now some are much more viable then others, some have got support in the media but we know how things happen once the spot lights start going out and going forward thinking starts. Mularkey is another with a new owner but has not been talked about as much, Munchak is also being questioned in some circles, we can see how that plays out as well.
Thats 12 in total that could be jeapordized in some way.

Boys Are Hitting Puberty Earlier Than Ever
Fifteen years ago, researchers began to notice that girls were hitting puberty earlier than usual. Now they've discovered that boys are showing their first signs of sexual maturation an average of up to two years before their counterparts from a few decades ago
The Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) study, which was based on pediatric visits by 4,131 generally healthy U.S. boys between the ages of 6 and 16, found the average age for puberty's onset was 10.14 years among non-Hispanic whites, 10.4 for Hispanics, 9.14 for African Americans. Previously, the average onset of puberty in boys had been pegged at about 11.
In 1997, the PROS published a finding which suggested girls were hitting puberty about a year earlier than what had been cited in most clinical textbooks—often as early as age 7.
In the case of accelerated puberty in girls, there is a theory that it is being triggered by more estrogen in food, such as soy-based products.
The researchers have no such theory as to why boys are reaching sexual maturation sooner these days. Nor do they classify the trend as a positive or a negative one.

About This Artwork
René Magritte
Belgian, 1898–1967
Time Transfixed, 1938
Oil on canvas
57 7/8 x 38 7/8 in. (147 x 98.7 cm)
Signed, l.r.: "Magritte"
Joseph Winterbotham Collection, 1970.426
Impressed by René Magritte's submissions to the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition, the collector Edward James invited the artist to paint canvases for the ballroom of his London home. In response, Magritte conceived On the Threshold of Liberty (in the collection of the Art Institute) and his now-famous Time Transfixed. The artist later explained this picture: "I decided to paint the image of a locomotive. . . . In order for its mystery to be evoked, another immediately familiar image without mystery— the image of a dining room fireplace—was joined." The surprising juxtaposition and scale of unrelated elements, heightened by Magritte's precise realism, gives the picture its perplexity and allure. The artist transformed the stovepipe of a coalburning stove into a charging locomotive, situating the train in a fireplace vent so that it appears to be emerging from a railway tunnel. Magritte was unhappy with the English translation of the original French, La Durée poignardé, which literally means "ongoing time stabbed by a dagger." He hoped that the painting would be installed at the bottom of the collector's staircase so that the train would "stab" guests on their way up to the ballroom. Ironically, James installed it over his fireplace instead.
— Entry, The Essential Guide, 2013, p.278.
René Magritte owed a direct debt to Giorgio de Chirico, whose work he first saw in 1922. This painting is one of Magritte's most compelling images. In it, the influence of de Chirico is apparent in a shared approach to the creation of mysterious and enigmatic images through incongruous juxtapositions of familiar objects; it is also evident in Magritte's adoption of some of de Chirico's motifs (the clock, the locomotive), as a comparison with de Chirico's The Philosopher's Conquest makes clear. Magritte has, however, given his own imprint to the ideas implicit in de Chirico's early paintings. His images are less complicated and more immediately comprehensible than de Chirico's. His brand of realism is more meticulous in both technique and composition. Magritte's emphasis on order is apparent in the uncluttered and precisely rendered surfaces, in the grid of moldings and frames that controls the com-position, and in details such as the smoke of the locomotive, which tidily disappears under the mantelpiece. There is an engaging coarseness and naiveté de Chirico's images that Magritte exchanged in this painting for clarity and immediacy. There is, nevertheless, nothing slavish about Magritte's realism, as illustrated by his deliberate omission, in his final composition, of the shadow of the candlestick on the right. A comparison of the painting with a preparatory sketch shows this and other small but significant changes, such as the enlargement of both the clock's face and the locomotive. In typically compulsive fashion, these two circular forms are made to share the same diameter.
In a letter of 1959, Magritte commented at length on this painting, emphasizing that his goal was to unveil or evoke "the mystery" of things "that seem familiar to us [out of error or habit]." Having decided on a locomotive as his subject, "the problem," he explained, was "how to paint this image so that it would evoke mystery." Magritte added, "The image of a locomotive is immediately familiar: its mystery is not perceived. In order for its mystery to be evoked, another immediately familiar image without mystery—the image of a dining room fireplace—was joined with the image of the locomotive." He also remarked that "the title La duree poignardee is itself an image (in words) joined to a painted image" and that Time Transfixed did not seem to him "a very accurate translation." Indeed, although the English title has the memorable quality that Magritte often sought, it is both more catchy and less forceful than the original French. It does not convey the sense of duration and passage through time in the word "duree" (duration) or the violent impact of something stabbed with a dagger in the word "poignardee" (stabbed).

There's a tense calm at South Sudan's front line, just 10 miles from the frontier with Sudan, its neighbor to the north. South Sudanese commander Maj. Gen. Mangar Buong says his troops remain on alert and on the defensive.
There is not a civilian in sight. They all fled the area, known as Panakuach, after Sudan's recent aerial bombardments and escalating concerns about a full-scale war.
South Sudan's soldiers sing morale-boosting tunes to rally the forces and keep their spirits up. They've dug trenches in the black earth, which is littered with bullet casings and remnants of what they say are bombs dropped by Sudan's air force.
After the singing, Pvt. John Nkoi Deng says he knows what he's defending. "This is our land. It belongs to us," he tells NPR. His colleagues nod in agreement.
Last month, South Sudan briefly captured the oil-rich town of Heglig — widely considered to be part of Sudan. That move triggered the most recent clashes. Southerners claim Heglig, which they call Panthou, which means "the place of thou trees" in the Nuer language.
Dispute Over Oil Region
The South's troops have left Heglig, though the sides disagree over whether it was international pressure, South Sudan's demonstration of goodwill or Sudan's military forces that drove them out.
Regardless, the departure clearly did not please South Sudan's military, including Buong, though it deferred to the politicians.
Buong says the army awaits the outcome of talks to try to resolve the South's explosive quarrels with its neighbor over oil revenues, border demarcation and other issues.
But he is unequivocal. If dialogue breaks down and Sudanese aerial and ground attacks continue, then South Sudan will respond with force.
"We don't want war," the general says, "but it is our right to defend South Sudan."
He says the South is waiting for the world to assist in settling the differences, but warns: "I want to ask the world community to help the people of the North and South. But if the world community fails in this case of borders, then not just me, even my son, will go [to Heglig]."
South Sudan's military has no air force, and the government wants U.N. peacekeepers to create a demilitarized zone in the disputed oil region until the problems are worked out.
Civilian Casualties In Hospital
A bumpy two-hour drive from the front line leads to the South Sudanese town of Bentiu, the capital of oil-exporting Unity State. Survivors are recovering in the hospital from a series of bombings in April and May.
Dr. Peter Gatkuoth Tob, the medical director of Bentiu State Hospital, says that since the beginning of April, patients have been admitted with injuries directly related to bomb attacks by Sudanese warplanes. Most of the patients are women and children, he notes.
"As a doctor, it's very painful to me," he tells NPR. "They have no power to defend themselves from bombs or from guns. So we don't know what the reason is for dropping bombs among the civilians. It's a very painful situation."
Sitting up and staring down at her amputated left leg, Nyachieng Nguot Teng, 25, is clearly traumatized. The young mother is on one hospital bed, while her 7-month-old boy, Dak Tab, is lying asleep, with a fractured leg, beside his grandmother on another bed.
Nguot describes hearing a plane and seven loud booms from bombs being dropped. The eighth, she did not hear. It landed on her thatched-roof hut on May 5. The next thing she knew, she woke up in the hospital, minus her left leg.
She says whether her infant son will grow up in peace is in God's hands. But, she adds, "he will always know that his mother lost her leg for our beloved land."
Slow Recovery For Burn Victim
In the ward next door lies Mohamed Abderahman Kili, 56, a trader and another casualty from a bombing in April. Dr. Gatkuoth says Kili suffered burns to more than 90 percent of his body when his shop was hit.
"I'm just an ordinary man, working to feed his family and send his children to school, I don't know why this happened to me," he laments.
Most of Kili's black skin has peeled off, leaving a mass of pink and yellow — his face, arms, ears and back are still raw. His singed beard and hair are only now beginning to grow back.
Kili says he still believes Sudan and South Sudan can make peace and live side by side; he appeals to both countries to talk their way out of their problems.
Now to the front line in South Sudan. The south's government has accused the north of launching new airstrikes, a charge the north denies. This comes a week after the UN Security Council called on both Sudans to stop fighting and settle their disputes or face possible sanctions. NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton reports now from South Sudan in a place called Unity State, which has borne the brunt of the North's cross-border strikes.
OFEIBEA QUIST-ARCTON, BYLINE: Morale boosting songs keep up the spirits of South Sudan soldiers. They're observing a cease fire amid a tense calm here in Panakuach, less 10 miles from the frontier with Sudan, in the oil zone. After singing, Private John Nkoi Deng says he knows what he's defending.
PRIVATE JOHN NKOI DENG: This is our land. Yes, it belongs to us.
QUIST-ARCTON: Southern troops have dug trenches in the black earth at the front line straddling the oil producing region.
QUIST-ARCTON: Major General Mangar Buong says his men remain on alert and on the defensive in Panakuach. Last month, the south briefly captured the oil-rich town of Heglig, widely accepted to be in the north. That move triggered the most recent clashes. Southerners claim Heglig as their own, but pulled out their troops ostensibly because of international pressure.
General Buong warns that if dialogue breaks down and Sudanese air strikes continue, South Sudan will respond with force and claim what he calls its territorial rights, including Heglig.
GENERAL MANGAR BUONG: We don't want war, but it is our right. It is our right to defend South Sudan.
QUIST-ARCTON: A bumpy two-hour drive away from the front line in Bentiu, the capital of the south's oil-exporting Unity State, survivors are slowly recovering in the hospital from air strikes by Sudan. The north denies any such aerial bombardments and says the south is backing rebels who are destabilizing Sudan.
PETER GATKUOTH TOB: Since the beginning of April, we receive, of course, many cases of different injuries, injuries related to dropping of bombs. Most of them are civilian, if not all are civilian.
QUIST-ARCTON: Dr. Peter Gatkuoth Tob, the medical director of Bentiu State Hospital is treating the patients.
TOB: We don't know what is the reason for dropping bombs on the civilians. (Unintelligible) It's a very painful...
QUIST-ARCTON: Dr. Peter Gatkuoth Tob, the medical director of Bentiu State Hospital, is treating the patients.
TOB: We don't know what the reason is for dropping bombs among the civilians. As a doctor, I will (unintelligible). It's very painful to me.
QUIST-ARCTON: Sitting up and staring down at her amputated left leg in disbelief, Nyachieng Nguot Teny is clearly traumatized. She's 25 and the mother of 7-month-old Dak Tab, a baby boy with a fractured limb.
NYACHIENG NGUOT TENY: (Foreign language spoken)
QUIST-ARCTON: Nguot Teny describes hearing a plane and seven loud booms - bombs being dropped. The eighth, she didn't hear. It landed on her thatched-roof hut blowing her leg away and wounding her son. The next thing, she woke up in the hospital.
MOHAMED ABDERAHMAN KILI: (Foreign language spoken)
QUIST-ARCTON: In the ward next door lies Mohamed Abderahman Kili, a 56-year-old trader. He's another casualty from an earlier bombing in April. The doctor says he suffered more than 90 percent burns when his shop was hit. Most of Kili's black skin has peeled off, leaving a mass of livid pink and yellow; his face, ears, arms, and back are still raw.
KILI: (Foreign language spoken)
QUIST-ARCTON: Despite his horrific burns, Kili believes Sudan and South Sudan can live in peace side by side. The young amputee mother says it's in God's hands whether her infant son grows up in peace.

Anoted political figure unleashes a blistering attack against new immigrants who "swarm" into our neighborhoods without regard for our laws, customs and shared values. Why, he asks, should we suffer outsiders who prefer ethnic enclaves where they "establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours?" The painful truth, he adds, is that these newcomers are so culturally different from the rest of us that they will never assimilate like past immigrants, posing a grave threat to the society we cherish.
The latest rant on illegal Mexican immigration by Pat Buchanan or Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo? No–the political provocateur was Benjamin Franklin, and his unforgiving pen was aimed at Germans in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania. Franklin was convinced that his home had become "a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them." Franklin later mellowed on the subject, recognizing the economic benefits of immigration, but we can hear echoes of his original animus toward immigrants in every age of the American experience.
Over the course of our history, xenophobic opinion has episodically crystallized into formidable nativist movements. Fueled by the economic stresses of working-class Americans, ethnic and racial animosities, security jitters and compelling demagogic leadership, earlier nativist movements underscore the Shakespearean insight that "what's past is prologue."
The first eruption came in reaction to unprecedented rates of Catholic immigration, especially from Ireland, from the 1830s through the 1850s. Anglo-American angst over the Irish Catholic influx, which soared during the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, was exacerbated by competition for jobs and housing in Northeastern cities. Anti-Catholic publications flourished, offering lurid accounts of sinister Roman Catholic crimes and plots that fed Protestant antipathy.
These dark tales spurred mob violence, from the 1834 burning of the Ursuline convent near Boston to the 1844 Bible Riots in Philadelphia, which led to twenty deaths and the destruction of more than 100 Catholic churches, schools and homes. As the ranks of anti-Catholic associations swelled in Seaboard cities, nativist leader Samuel Morse, newspaper editor and future inventor of the telegraph, organized an anti-immigrant party and ran strongly for New York City mayor in 1836. Morse also fed anti-Catholic venom through incendiary writings such as Foreign Conspiracy (1835), warning readers that "the evil of immigration brings to these shores illiterate Roman Catholics…the obedient instruments of their more knowing priestly leaders."
Because of the nation's insatiable appetite for immigrant labor–and the clout of Irish voters–nativists made little political headway until the 1850s. In 1849 secret nativist societies formed the Order of the Star Spangled Banner to furtively organize electoral support for an anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant agenda in cities around the country. The movement's rank and file included Anglo-American workers, artisans and small entrepreneurs. Their secrecy led Horace Greeley to mock their members in the New York Tribune as "know-nothings"–a label that stuck.

Karl May chronicles the life of the extremely popular 19th-century German novelist who lived from 1842 to 1912. Karl May's copious output included dozens of adventure novels set in the American Wild West; they are distinguished by their sympathetic portrayal of Native Americans, and many feature the beloved Native American character Winnetou. May was among the most popular novelists ever to have written in the German language, and the idyllic simplicity of the rustic life portrayed in his works is thought to have inspired the early Nazis, who would probably have horrified May. In the last 12 years of his life, he was involved in a series of lawsuits to clear his name from a number of libelous assaults. These charges came after he had achieved prominence as a cultural figure and his prior conviction and imprisonment for petty theft was discovered. The movie catches up with him in the midst of his fight against these slanders. This film is the second in director Hans-Jurgen Syberberg's German Trilogy, consisting of Ludwig, Karl May and Hitler - Ein Film Aus Deutschland. In order to highlight the continuity between May's vision and the Hitler regime, all the actors in the film were either prominent during the Nazi era, or began their careers then.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
Sorry there are no upcoming showtimes for Karl May

necklace - Anthropologie / tank - Anthropologie / tote - German convention freebie / braided chain bracelet - homemade / watch - Arkonaplatz flea market, Berlin / skirt - Target / sandals - Target, thrifted
Like Tania, I have just a little bit of an obsession with belting things; sometime over the last few years, I decided that defining my waist was the most flattering way to dress my somewhat curvy figure, and now every time I put on a skirt, I just instinctively tuck in my top, throw on a belt, and call it done. So imagine my surprise when while getting dressed the other day I caught a glimpse of my as-yet-un-tucked shirt in the mirror and - gasp - actually liked the outfit better that way. There's something so perfectly unfussy about an untucked shirt, and it certainly didn't hurt that I felt like I was wearing classy pajamas all day.
We took these photos on a visit to the East Side Gallery, a 1 km section of the Berlin Wall that's been kept intact and painted by artists. Naturally I gravitated right to the mural that best matched my outfit, a giant black and hot pink face (my head only comes up to the mouth!) that was part of a huge stretch of colorful faces. Speaking of faces, I'm sorry for the recent overload of glamour shots of my new watch - I picked it up for a measly three euros at the flea market over the weekend, and I am completely enamored with it. I kind of want to get my initials engraved on the clasp, if only for the ridiculousness of paying more for the engraving than I did for the watch itself!

Christmas came early for Spring Hill Junior High and Springfield High School students as they had a chance to visit the new school they will attend beginning in January.
Christmas came early for Spring Hill Junior High and Springfield High School students as they had a chance to visit the new school they will attend beginning in January.
On Dec. 18, Spring Hill Junior High students began their day at 7:30 a.m. by packing up their belongings, getting locker assignments for the new school and writing down their new home room numbers on their schedules.
Along with their teachers, they loaded onto buses and headed for the new building.
As they came through the doors for the first time there was an air of excitement.
Students were heard saying, "Wow," "Awesome," and pointing out different parts of their new school to each other as their eyes honed in on different aspects of the building.
Teachers escorted their students through the halls, up the main staircase and to their homerooms.
After seeing their rooms, students worked on opening their lockers. Some had difficulty with the combination locks, but they all conquered the new lockers and then had time to explore the building.
Once they were doing with an up-close view of the building, the students and teachers met in the auditorium for a virtual tour of the school. Following the virtual tour, students were instructed on cafeteria procedures and went back to homeroom to begin a mock class change. This gave them a chance to run through their schedule and map out the best routes from class to class.
"It is going to take a while for me to get used to the school. It is complicated," seventh grader Shawn Tibet said, adding that the rooms at the new school are much larger. "The rooms are bigger and there is actually room to move your chair back."
Teachers were equally excited as they led their students to their new homerooms.
Some mentioned how at home their students looked in their new surroundings and expressed excitement about getting started in their new work space.
"I am so excited. I am excited to teach in this school. It is my 20th year in education and it is so different than what I started with," teacher Lisa Scullen said, pointing to the SMART projector in her room. "Everything used to be out of a book or off worksheets. We no longer have chalk boards."
Scullen lives in the community and noted how much the building means to her both personally and professionally. She has a daughter who will attend the school one day.
"It is exciting as a community member as well. "It is exciting for the whole community," Scullen said.
Each room has a SMART projector. Principal Michelle Warner said at Spring Hill there were teachers who did not have a SMART board, but a smile crossed her face when she added that students have volunteered to help instruct teachers who are new to the SMART technology.
Band director Ernie Cole is excited about the new band room.
"It is all very cool. The band room is a tad smaller than we are used to, but we have a lot of junk to throw away. We are so excited to be in the new building. The kids are so excited to move over here. It is like Christmas coming early," Cole said.
According to Warner, teachers and administrators brought 420 students for the visit and it seemed like they were all having fun.
"I think it is very exciting. It has been a long time coming and they deserve it," Warner said. "The students are so excited. They are even excited they figured how to make their lockers work."
The following day, Dec. 19, the high school students reported to homeroom in the old building and prepared their items for the move to their new school. They then walked down the hill with their school belongings and went through the same orientation process as the junior high students.
The student response to seeing the new school in person was summed up by a junior high student who stopped Warner and said, "This is the nicest school I have ever been in."
Classes in the new school begin Jan. 7. A dedication and open house will be held on Jan. 4 for the public. The dedication begins at 10 a.m. and tours of the school will follow.

Jack and Rose reunite!
Titanic's dynamic duo, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet reunited this month, where the hunky actor gave away the redhead beauty at her wedding to Ned Rocknroll.
It's been confirmed that Ned and Kate, who got engaged this summer, married in a hush-hush New York ceremony earlier this month with only Kate's two children and very few friends and family members in attendance— even Kate's own parents were unaware of her secret nuptials!
To keep things quiet, the bride's best friend Leo did the honors of giving her away to Richard Branson's nephew.
NEWS: What It's Like to Kiss Leonardo DiCaprio
In August 2011, the Oscar-winning actress, 37, and her now husband, 34, met on the same Caribbean island (owned by Mr. Branson) when a fire broke out and Kate rescued Richard's 90-year-old mother. Talk about fate!
The two have been dating ever since, and have now found their happily ever after. This will be Kate's third marriage.
Best of luck and congratulations to the new couple!

Vanderbilt lands major target
Vanderbilt's 2013 class gained a little more size and power on Wednesday with the commitment of Memphis standout Mack Weaver.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound two-way performer from Harding Academy pledged to Commodore head coach James Franklin and his staff on Tuesday night, and officially announced the decision following a football practice via Twitter.
"Verbally committed to Vanderbilt yesterday!!! #AnchorDown," Weaver posted.
Harding Academy's coaching staff confirmed the decision with VandySports.com earlier in the day.
His commitment gives the Commodores one of its top overall targets for most of the 2013 recruiting period.
The Vanderbilt staff put a heavy emphasis on the "jumbo" athlete shortly after an evaluation and unofficial visit by Weaver and his family in the spring, where the staff came away with his projectable size, personality and background.
Ranking 20th on the Rivals.com tight end rankings, the high three-star is considered a major athlete by the Commodore staff, capable of playing on either side of the ball in the SEC. However, his initial projection is as a defensive end where Weaver has dominated during his young high school career.
As a junior, Weaver registered 78 total tackles including 16 tackles for loss and 12 sacks for Harding Academy, leading the Lions to a 9-3 record and trip to the semifinals of the Division II-A state playoffs.
As a sophomore, Weaver posted 40 tackles, six sacks and an interception. He's been named to the Memphis Commercial Appeal's Best of the Preps the last two years.
He's also an accomplished blocking tight end and has caught six touchdown passes over the last two seasons as well.
At only 17 years of age, many believe Weaver could grow into a monster player for the Commodores in the future. His off the field profile also fits what the school is looking for as he carries a 25 ACT score and places an emphasis on academics overall.
Programs from all over the country, including more than 20 from FBS programs, offered Weaver.
He chose the Commodores over Arkansas, but considered other programs such as Arizona State, Cincinnati, Clemson, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Marshall, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Purdue, Tennessee, Virginia and Wake Forest.
Weaver becomes the 21st prospect to commit to Vanderbilt this summer and the fourth from the city of Memphis, joining Whitehaven standouts Gerald Perry and Darrius Sims as well as Memphis Central star receiver Latevius Rayford.

We have just completed a couple of software updates.
The software updates fix a few bugs and problems and should improve some back-end functions of the site.
Please report if you have any problems as a result of this upgrade. One possible problem is that some usernames may not work as there was a change to the security. Usernames can only contain Letters and numbers, so if your username has other characters, please let us know so we can fix this.
We have also removed several inactive and spam blogs.
admin | 21 January, 2008 03:02
We have just spent some considerable amount of time going over all the blogs posted here and removed around half of them.
Yes, they were removed as they were nothing more than spam. Now, we are NOT going to mention what the triggers are that cause blogs to be deleted as we don't wish to alert the spammers of our methods of detection. There were quite a few that were very clever in their disguise - but not good enough as they are now gone.
We regularly monitor all blogs and eventaully we will find all spam blogs and delete them. A blog that is simply spam serves no purpose - except for the spammer - and we feel that they should not profit from the free blogs we provide.
A big thanks to all of those who reported spam blogs to us so we could delete them.

As you probably noticed we have had some downtime with the
site. We recently moved to a new server and during the move the
database was corrupted.
We have finally managed to sort out most of the problems and will continue to work on fixing the remaining ones.
The good news is that your blog is now once again available and even better, all old posts have been restored.
We still have not managed to get all albums working correctly yet, but we are working on it.
You will probably have to select a new template as we have upgraded the software, and at the moment there are only a handful of templates that work. Simply log into your Admin Panel and go to Control Centre >> Settings >> Blog Settings - then select a templae from there.
We plan on introducing some exciting new features over the next several weeks that will further enhance your Blogging experience. Some of the things that we are doing is installing some additional plugins - which will be visible in your Admin panel.

When little-known, first-term Illinois senator Barack Obama faced Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential campaign, he knew he couldn't compete with her financially. He couldn't afford telemarketing and direct mail campaigns or TV and radio advertising.
So instead of playing by the old rules, he made new rules. He started blogging and he created profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
He also hired the co-founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes, to be his Internet strategist. And he won the Democratic presidential nomination even though he spent a lot less money than his opponent.
At the time of the election, Obama had five million fans on Facebook—over four million more than Clinton. On MySpace, the numbers were approximately 800,000 and 200,000, respectively. On Twitter, he had over 100,000 followers and his opponent had about 5,000.
And he did all of that by following the principles of inbound marketing.

I was pretty amazed as I stood in front of the bathroom mirror that first night and watched my rash begin to 'change'. I immediately noticed a difference in my skin and the rash looked as if it were almost moving. It WAS moving. It was just so hard to believe that 3 minutes of this light therapy could work SO fast! Nothing had worked, but this...this I knew was working right away.
I was even more impressed as I watched the rash that covered Gary's body crawl away. As a wounded animal might crawl slowly away in search of shelter, his rash began to move as soon as UVA1 struck her first blow. Gary's rash took a little longer than my rash to completely clear up, but hey, it was much bigger and so thick and 'dug in' so to speak. But it did go away, just like mine. Equally impressive.
Valerie...Valerie's story is awe-inspiring.
Valerie's Story - How UVA1 Fixed Her CNS Lupus:
There was little hesitation on my part when a friend called with a pretty big request. They had a 'VIP' (as he put it) in Vegas who needed my help. Las Vegas? As in Nevada?? Here we go again I thought...hauling renovated tanning beds around the country! If only people had access to this light!
He told me how Valerie had been in a wheelchair now for months. She had been having tremors and seizures and was losing the use of her legs. But she had this special zoo and the zoo needed her back desperately. He explained how Val had been diagnosed with lupus long ago but now her doctors were thinking she was developing MS in addition to her lupus. That sucks. I said I would go immediately but that I needed to talk to her first. I needed to get a feel for her lupus and make sure she wanted to try UVA1 Phototherapy.
Our first conversation was just short of 2 hours long and I was almost convinced as we finally hung up. I wanted to do a little research before I jumped in the car but 90% of my being was screaming 'lupus!' And this light REALLY works on lupus. I had only come across one study involving central nervous system (CNS) lupus and UVA1, and it was only one patient, but lupus is lupus, and the light had worked on that one patient. So I did my research as the other 10% of me began the usual self-talk I require when considering road trips of long duration. The voices kept screaming, 'Just do it!' I had a lot of faith in the light but I didn't want to raise anyone's hopes. Valerie's lupus was serious-it was the most severe case of lupus I had ever come across. I knew I had to try. Valerie needed UVA1 and I needed Valerie.
We wrapped an old tanning bed (which had been converted into a UVA1 unit) up nicely in a giant tarp, duct taped it in so well it wouldn't even budge in a tornado, and set off for Vegas in my friend's truck. After a little sight seeing at the North Rim and a whole lot of curious truck stop patron questions (my favorite being 'is that a coffin?') we arrived at Valerie's zoo: Roos-N-More, in Moapa, Nevada. My first thought was, 'Wow, this zoo is awesome!'. My second, 'How the heck does she wheel around this place in a wheelchair? That needs to stop!' Moapa is about an hour outside of Vegas, it is hot, it is sandy, and she had hundreds of animals to take care of daily. A very sizable task for anyone wheelchair aside.
As I sat in Valerie's living room trying to explain how UVA1 Phototherapy works it became quite clear to me that I was there for a reason. Valerie and her husband Jay, both veterinarians, had dedicated their lives to this zoo. They started adopting animals years ago and before they knew it they had an exotic and quite remarkable collection of animals on their hands. There was no way the zoo could continue if Valerie kept getting worse. This zoo was everything to them. The chair had to go. (If you are in Vegas you need to stop by this zoo - it is educational and you will see animals you never knew existed.)
Surrounded by Val's family and zoo volunteers and while two baby monkeys sat on my lap exploring my hair and jewelry with intense curiosity, I pulled out my stack of ammo. Pictures, articles, research, the usual array even though most of the time lupus patients don't need so much convincing. I saw at least eight cats of different variety wander in and look me over, a few of which helped themselves to my lap without fear. A baby kangaroo hopped by, as if a normal every day occurrence, while one of the monkeys purred into my ear (they do that, just like a cat I guess...when they are happy. I was in love with this little guy!) Jay was busily running around tending to the animals while I was attempting to 'present' to Valerie. On one of his rounds chasing these amazing creatures through the house, with a look of concern taking over his face, he stopped in front of us to ask, "Are you alright? Do you want me to..." One of the babies continued to play with my hair and face some more as I shook my head. I laughed and looked at Valerie - heck no, don't take away the monkey!!
Valerie just looked sick. I remembered that sick. How it felt to drag through each day. I know she was trying hard to sit through the presentation for my sake. And there was so much going on around us. It was time for the light. I'd leave the research for her to read later. I set it all aside and we went out to the garage where the light unit had found its new home. Damn it I thought. I forgot her goggles! Boo...! UVA1 will damage the eyes just like any other wavelength of UV light - she couldn't do this without the goggles! Jay ran out of the garage and came back a few minutes later with a pair of sunglasses and some black electrical tape...that would do for now (although not recommended). I made her promise not to open her eyes, showed them how to work the unit, and left them alone for her first dose of UVA1. Three minutes. Just like my first dose - we were starting small to make sure she tolerated the light okay.
I tried not to hover too close to the garage door but I was so excited it was almost agonizing. Three minutes goes pretty slow when you are filled with such anticipation. But before I could go over too many unnecessary scenarios in my head they were out of the garage and giving us a tour of the zoo. I still can't believe Jay had spent so much time pushing her around the desert in that chair! They didn't have sidewalks and if you have ever tried to wheel yourself around in dirt and mud, well, then you know. This HAD to work. I would will it to happen. UVA1 would fix her lupus and turn that wheelchair into something more useful, like a flower planter or something. It just would. After that it was back in the truck and home. The rest we could do over the phone.
It wasn't much different with Valerie, UVA1 did not disappoint. She too knew right away that the light was working. She woke up the next morning with a sense of awareness she hadn't had in as long as she could remember. She was awake! It was early (one is never up early with lupus) and she could think straight...and she felt strong. The NEXT day she felt stronger. In less than a week after starting UVA1 phototherapy Valerie ditched the wheelchair. Her tremors had stopped, her muscles weakness had vanished, her pain was going away and she hadn't had any major neurological spells since her first dose. Awesome.
About a month after she started UVA1 Valerie went to her doctor for lab work. Her doctor noticed right away that something had changed and so did the nurses in his office. He hadn't heard of UVA1 but told her, "Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!" Two months to the day after our visit my friend's father (who resides in Vegas) showed up at the zoo unannounced to check on her progress and when he came through the gate he could not believe his eyes. There was Valerie, covered in mud, JUMPING off of the tractor to come and greet them. No wheelchair...she was climbing around on a tractor, jumping, working and full of 'piss and vinegar'. The light had worked. And the zoo had gotten Valerie back.
Valerie still uses those sunglasses that Jay taped up. The are like a good luck omen I guess; she says she can't bring herself to use the goggles I sent. It has been over six months since she started using UVA1 and her lupus is in full remission. Her serologies (blood work) are normal, her ANA is not elevated, even her anemia has reversed completely. Her eyes, which dilated unevenly before, are now dilating equally. All of the things lupus does-the dizziness and fatigue, pain, numbness, weakness and the lupus fog-it is all gone. The wheelchair now resides in the back closet.
When I asked Valerie for her testimonial statement she gave me over three pages of typed comments. It is hard to be concise when you get your life back from such an awful disease in such a startling manner, especially after years of treatments that only made you sicker. I think that the most important part of her testimony is this:
UVA1 gave Valerie her life back. Not only hers, but her whole family. Her children and her husband also got their lives back. When you have lupus, so does your family. UVA1 had allowed her to get back to being a wife and a mother. It gave her back the ability to help Jay with the zoo without the burden of pushing a wheelchair around. It gave them all hope for the future. That is the best part, the hope. When you are out of hope there isn't much to live for. You are ready to take more pills and wait for death, because at that point, death almost seems like a gift. She had nothing to lose, everything to win, and enough gall to try it. I didn't really know what to expect with such a severe case of lupus. I thought it would work, I hoped it would work, but I just didn't know. Fortunately, just like my lupus, Gary's lupus, and all the people I had read about in my research, Valerie's lupus was gone without a trace. UVA1 just works.
Here are a few short videos of Valerie with the severe tremors and muscle spasms in her legs before she started UVA1 Phototherapy:
Below are some pictures of Valerie before she started UVA1 Phototherapy, and then after it put her lupus into remission. They are astounding.

PHILADELPHIA — If the Bruins brass is smart, they'll tell their team doctors to keep it on the down low if there comes a time that Chris Kelly can remove the cage protecting his face ever since he was injured in Game 3 of the Montreal series.
After all, Kelly's goal in Boston's dramatic 3-2 overtime win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with Philadelphia tonight at the Wells Fargo Center was his fourth of the playoffs, and fourth since he was pushed into the post by Canadiens forward Scott Gomez and had to return to Boston to be examined.
Remember, Kelly scored just twice in 24 games after he was acquired from Ottawa.
As for the cage, Kelly's sick of talking about it.
"The cage will come off when I'm suggested to take it off, regardless of how things keep going here. That will be my final statement on the cage," he slowly and firmly stated after the game with a slight smirk on his victorious face.
Whatever the reason for Kelly's improved production, the veteran center has made general manager Peter Chiarelli's trade look shrewder than it looked just a couple weeks ago. The former Ottawa pivot is finally playing how the GM and others with team predicted he would.
"It's great. I'm having a lot of fun," said Kelly. "It was a tough adjustment coming here after being in one place for so long. This is why I came here for this opportunity to help this team. I feel fortunate to get this opportunity and hopefully I can make the most of it."
Making the most of it might mean keeping his face hidden and protected. Even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Stardust/Knowledge Base/Getting Started/RTE on AWS
Set Up
To create a full Stardust Runtime Environment on Amazon Web Services EC2 Infrastructure,
- go to the Stardust Procurement Page in the AWS Marketplace and click Continue or
- click here.
You will be asked to login with an existing Amazon account or to register for one:
Launch with one 1-Click will launch the Stardust Runtime on your EC2 Instance Type of choice:
The AWS Virtual Machine Image (AMI) is configured to run on all Instance Types including the Standard Micro (t1.micro) type and your choice depends entirely on the expected load profile. For first experiments the Standard Micro is definitely sufficient.
Please consider that although there are no charges for Stardust, Amazon charges you for most of the EC2 configurations.
Select your data center region of choice - the Stardust AMI is available for all AWS data center regions:
You will be prompted to confirm that you do not want to create a Key Pair:
You only need this if you intend to login to the EC2 instance and modify the setup. If you just intend to run and configure Stardust via the Stardust Web Portal, there is no need to login and you can consider the installation a block box.
After you have launched your instance and the instance is available, lookup the Public DNS Name for the instance and login via
http://<Public DNS Name>:8080/stardust-standard
- User: motu
- Password: motu
This is the Stardust root user. Make sure that you can change the password later.
and use the Portal as described in the respective chapter of the Stardust documentation.
Process Model Creation and Deployment
If you are keen to start playing and do not bother to create a Process Model at this point pick one of the sample process models from Git e.g. the Car Rental Example (right-click the link before and save the file for upload/deployment into your runtime) and just upload and deploy under Administration > Model Management
More details on model deployment can be found in the corresponding chapter of the documentation.
If you intend to create your own Process Models, you can either use the Browser Modeler which is immediately available in the Stardust Portal of your Amazon EC2 Instance or use the Stardust Eclipse Modeler - which requires you to download Eclipse and install Stardust there.
User Creation and Role Assignment
Do not forget to create users and assign to roles so that you can start processes and perform activities in your process.
For troubleshooting: If something totally unexpected happens in the Portal, try a reboot of your EC2 instance.

Scientists from ICS-3, Utrecht University and DESY have filmed the flow behaviour of liquid crystals using a unique experimental setup at DESY's X-ray source, PETRA III. One of the things the new method shows is how the inner structure of a liquid crystal sample changes. The German-Dutch team published its observations in the journal "Physical Review Letters".
