Bedroom. Wednesday , November 29th , 2017 - 14:02:00 PM
Love to catch up on a book before you slowly slip away into dreamland? Then Cell is the perfect nightstand for you. Unlike every other design in the collection showcased here, the piece's hollowed cylindrical form turns your book collection into a fabulous display. Beautiful and functional, this bedside table also adds smart geometric contrast to a room dominated by clean straight lines. Not to mention, you can stack one Cell on top of another to create a more engaging display in the home library!
Do not be afraid to combine a third color with gray and blue in the bedroom. This need not necessarily be white as both blue and gray can create a neutral and inviting setting which allows other bold hues to shine through. A touch of red or orange looks great in the coastal or nautical bedroom while a pop of fuchsia or pink can bring dazzle to the girls' bedroom. Yellow is a great choice in bedrooms with light shades of gray and blue as it ushers in sun-kissed charm while brown can give the space a more masculine finish.
It is easy to fall in love with a color scheme compromised of the world's favorite color and the trendiest new neutral that has been topping charts for several years now. Blue has always headed the list of the most popular colors for decorating an interior. Be it a smart nursery, the kids' room, bedroom, living room or kitchen – blue works with a variety of styles and themes. Combining it with the trendy panache of gray only takes its cool factor a notch higher! Smart, chic and soothing, gray and blue is the perfect color combination for the elegant modern bedroom.

Question; Has your school Administrator served any indication of a continuing plan after culling all the possible tenures?
- April 21, 2012 at 8:15 PM
- Carteach said...
Not sure what your question is TenMile, but I think I can answer anyway.
I think the director has... sort of... a plan. It involves the school moving heavily into post-secondary education with paying students, making our 'public' school into a profitable enterprise. It also means non-union and much lower paid instructor positions. In a tech school.... it also means competing with private sector for people... and low pay means low quality.
I think the Principal has no plan at all, except hanging onto the job he's been angling after for a years now. As such, he's fine with whatever the director does.
He's really not the man I thought he was. My error in judgement. Other instructors did not make that error, and are making their own plans for their future. That may in part explain how many people are leaving.

Thank you. That did answer the question.

Building Relationships
Hidi Rae Consulting Engineers
View in E-MagazineView in Brochure
"We've always been after smart, sustainable growth," says Jamie Hidi, President at Hidi Rae Consulting Engineers. "We are in a lot of sectors and will be rounding out our services, and in particular, growing the new ones to the point where they are equal to our other ones in terms of the market." With a staff of about 130 individuals, a head office in Toronto, and branch offices in Calgary, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the company continues to foster the same commitment to clients as those established by Jamie's father, company founder and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Hidi.
Over the course of a career spanning well over half a century, Andrew Hidi has worked on numerous prestigious projects since graduating from the University of Toronto with his Mechanical Engineering degree in 1959, and forming Hidi Rae in 1975. Many of these projects – such as the First Canadian Place, the Manulife Centre, the Exchange Tower, Woodbine Shopping Centre and Erin Mills Shopping Centre – are known not only across Canada, but worldwide. With professional affiliations including PEO, LEED AP, and Designated Consulting Engineers, the company continues to strengthen its roster as a full-service mechanical, electrical, communications, security and commissioning consultancy provider.
Like his father before him, Jamie Hidi has worked on a number of highly respected projects in Canada and abroad since joining the firm in 1991. Carefully cultivating a team of the best and the brightest, the company continues to foster long-standing relationships with clients such as Cadillac Fairview, Rogers, Oxford Properties, George Brown College, EllisDon, PCL, and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, to name but a few. Continually delivering quality projects, Jamie says, comes from understanding client needs and hiring the appropriate skilled professional engineers, engineering technicians, and designers.
Understanding Client Needs
"We don't have a separate project management group, since our engineers manage their projects as well," explains Mr. Hidi. "We feel that in order to properly manage a job, you have to understand the technical side of it, and an engineer needs to understand what we are doing and not just be an independent project manager."
To ensure all projects are carried out according to schedule, Hidi Rae Consulting Engineers has sophisticated quality control systems in place. Mechanical, electrical, and communications systems are reviewed to verify they are installed as designed, and to meet the needs of the owner. With a thorough understanding of all systems, Hidi Rae's customer support teams are available to assist and ensure the final project is operated in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Active in a diverse range of sectors, Hidi Rae is able to design large and often complex projects, and has the ability to maintain the Principals' constant input throughout the design and construction of every job, reaching across the hospitality, residential, retail, commercial, institutional, health care, mission critical, pharmaceutical, sports and entertainment, and transportation sectors. Maintaining core values of integrity for all clients, reliability, accuracy and care, and overseeing every aspect from concept to design and construction, the company has built strong relationships in Canada and abroad. By having a senior member of the company's management team maintain direct involvement all the way from project inception to completion, Hidi Rae has earned respect from partners and customers internationally.
"We have clients who have referred us to other projects around the globe based on successes we've had in different markets," says Sandi Banerjee, the company's Chief Operating Officer. The company's sheer size enables Hidi Rae to provide a wide range of services, including mechanical, electrical, lighting, communications and security design, and commissioning.
"In terms of our more recent work, we added a security division, which is growing and doing very well," says Mr. Hidi. "It's not just electronic security; it goes well beyond that into physical security, threat assessments, and all other aspects of security. Our Commissioning Group is also recent in terms of what we have added, and there is a lot of existing building stock that has to be revisited – whether it's just upgraded or re-commissioned – those are sectors that we are doing a fair bit of work in, and are continuing to grow."
Through its dedicated group of professionals (operating as HRCx Building Services), Hidi Rae offers a range of commissioning services. These include new building commissioning, existing building commissioning and retro commissioning, compliance with ASHRAE guidelines, and LEED Fundamental and Enhanced commissioning. "Almost all of our active Principals on the M&E side are LEED accredited professionals," says Mr. Hidi, "as it is important to understand sustainable design, all the components involved, and be able to offer suitable, smart solutions. "Even if they don't proceed down the full LEED process with all of the paperwork, you can still implement a lot of those ideas into designs."
With decades of industry knowledge, Hidi Rae has developed a thorough understanding of mechanical systems within a building, and how these systems impact all areas, from fire protection systems to clean water, energy, indoor air quality and more. By successfully engineering optimal environments and creating state-of-the-art systems, the company is able to develop solutions for clients which balance performance against capital and operating costs.
Just as carefully planned and intelligently designed mechanical systems are vital to a structure, so are electrical, lighting, and communications design. These and other systems play a vital role in the everyday lives of occupants, and must be functional, safe, efficient and cost-effective. By remaining abreast of the latest emerging technologies, trends, and engineering methods, Hidi Rae ensures that completed projects will match the client's vision.
In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on environmentally friendly green initiatives in the building industry, with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program paving the way. A third-party certification program, LEED is internationally accepted, and serves as a benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Across North America, more projects are adopting LEED guidelines, changing not only the way they are designed but also constructed, with the goal of buildings which are healthier and have reduced operating costs and a reduced carbon footprint, using less water and energy.
Current Projects
At present, Hidi Rae is engaged in a number of exciting projects. Earlier this year, the company was awarded mechanical consulting services for the Redevelopment of the Taber and Raymond Health Centres with Group2 Architecture and Interior Design, which will ultimately consolidate community health services and be the first of many projects at other rural facilities by Alberta Health Services. In May, the company was on hand for the groundbreaking at the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus for the new Innovation Complex. Scheduled to open in September of 2014, the new four-level, $35 million Innovation Complex will house the Institute for Management and Innovation (IMI), which will serve as a unique new business education model, combining management studies with key industry sectors. Serving to train coming generations of innovators and entrepreneurs, the facility will also provide space for the Office of the Registrar, the Li Koon Chun Finance Learning Centre, a rotunda that will serve as an event and social gathering space and expanded accommodation for the Departments of Economics and Management within a 6,300 square metre complex. Additionally, the Innovation Complex will be designed to LEED silver standards, and include environmentally sustainable initiatives such as a green roof, interior glazing to harvest natural light, stone wall cladding, terrazzo floors and an oak ceiling.
One of the largest recent projects for Hidi Rae is the Athletes' Village for the upcoming Pan Am Games in Toronto, which will be home to thousands of international athletes, coaches, and officials who will attend the international sporting event. Successfully underway, the project – which has an overall budget of $1.4 billion – is a realization of the efforts of designers, contractors, and various levels of government who are building the site for the games, which will take place in August of 2015.
The future certainly looks bright for the 38-year-old company. Carrying on the measured growth of its founders, Jamie Hidi says that the company in investigating other locations around the world, providing the location is right for the business and its clients. "When we opened our Dubai office," he says, "it was on the heels of some opportunities when we went there, so we are always looking at those options. We are very excited about our Calgary office, which just added a great senior electrical Principal there, which really rounds out that office for us, and we think that office is going to do great."

Moscow IDStart 08-22-08. 16 man hours. Linden rained down perpetual mess on patio. Much better suited for lawn area. Jon and I were both up in the tree to start with. This is very efficient if you can get everyone up in the trees right away. We try not to have grunts to do the ground work that can't climb. Our main focus is training climbers. There is a tremendous growing demand for arborists in other parts of the country. Kathleen and Natalie tend ropes and process limbs, brush, and firewood. It's fun to do little jobs like this in a more labor intensive, simpler, safer, quieter way. No chipper. No bucket truck. Mostly hand saws.

Natalie. Stomping and chomping the trailer.
This trailer is the best tool I ever bought. We use it to haul horses, hay, lumber, furniture, brush, you name it. Cheapest dump truck in the world. Nice and low to the ground because there's no hoist. [Guy working for an outfit in Lewiston was killed last year when a dump bed came down on him.] We unload it with the cable that runs under the brush. You just need something to hook on to, or another truck to pull it off.M.

Chuck and Carol Koehler graciously conceded to have their name on our job blog. I said, "Great. I'll get your pictures on and quotes. You'll be famous!" They have a nice quiet little 5 acre piece. Too small for most logging companies to look at. We put up a quick temporary electric fence this spring. There's a nice pond there. The horses think they're in Horse Heaven. Everyone is glad to have the grass mowed. It's absolutely crucial that horses get virgin pasture every year. No parasites. No deficiencies. Mona Lisa is 29 or 30. Never seen the vet. Never had worm medicine. Never had shoes on. Never had a bit in her mouth. Since we've had her. 12 yrs. Same with the other horses.
Never spent one penny on them, other than feed and a lot of work. If you want to know how to take care of horses. Just learn to think like an Indian. I had so much fun out there with the trees and horses. I could hardly stand it. Cutting some of the over mature White Fir. First one was rotten for 15 ft. or so on the bottom. The second one about 24" DBH. Looked like it had been struck by lightning. Scarred all the way down. Also. Cutting over mature Black Pine. Unless they are in the open. Then they will stay for shade and wildlife and to attract moisture, buffer the wind, etc.M.

Start 08-15-08. 20 man hours. Tree that I trimmed over 20 years ago. Pretty tight spot. In the back. No way to get equipment in. Other companies would have rented a crane most likely. Which of course would cost the customer 2 or 3 times as much. The tree was pushing against the eave where the roof had been cut away in the past. Plus. There were drop lines everywhere. And. The garage was 3 ft. away 90 degrees to the South. The only drop zone was the North East quadrant. Reuben did an amazing job getting it all roped down and blocked down in a day and a half. With the help of Jon on the ground. Jeremy showed up later and tripped the trunk. With Jon on the winch line.M.

I'm sure we will be doing more work in Orofino. It sure was a lot of fun. Even though it was 100 degrees in the shade. And. We were cutting down our shade. Start 08-07-08. 16 man hours. Too close to house. Threat to foundation. Root growing up above ground and wrecking siding. Should have been cut years ago. I cleared path to the top. Cut the top. Tied in and cut some on the way down. Kathleen went up then while I worked ground. Climbing is often the easier job. This is one of our important safety rules. " There will be a lady on the job if at all possible." It makes a big difference. When you get too many guys together in one place and they think money and production is the first priority. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN !!! Not to mention the deterioration of manners and language. Some of my critics have said. " This is dangerous work. You can't have women and children around." I say. " If you can't have women and children around. It most likely is dangerous. I wouldn't want myself or anyone else on their job either."M.

Moscow IDStart and finish. 08-06-08. 16 man hours. Reuben, Kathleen, Jon, and myself up in the trees. Jeremy on the ground. Norway Maples in Moscow have been maturing, and dying. I'm sure they are the most common tree in town. They can generally be revived with pruning and a drip system with a mulch bed. The problem is. We don't have water to spare. And. The best thing about trees. Is. They can be established with a mulch bed and not need water. Trees are the answer. Trees and mulch are the most economical efficient solution to everything. At any rate. All we did to these 8 city trees. Was. Cut the major dead wood and adjust clearance.M.

Lewiston IDStart 08-01-08. Jeremy and Jon. 12 man hours. No cleanup. Locust borers seem to have gotten into most of the Black Locust in the valley. They start in the smaller branches. The next year they are in the larger branches. By the third year the tree is bored full of holes clear into the trunk. They honeycomb the limbs and soon you have branches breaking and dying. There are 3 options. Leave the tree alone except for retrieving broken hangers. [obviously don't park or lay under the tree]. Cut the tree way back [in other words butcher it], and see how well it sprouts back. Or. Removal.
I think it was around 30 years ago when we had an outbreak of locust borers. It wasn't as devastating though. No matter what happens. There will be plenty of locust trees. They keep coming back. Everywhere. Some call it the plague of the Locust. Actually. They are one of my favorite trees. Well suited to the desert climate in the valley. The pioneers brought and planted a lot of them. They are so amazing. They grew up fast and made shade and strong dense rot resistant wood for fence posts, firewood, single trees, etc.M.

Pair of English Walnuts - Clarkston WA
Two English Walnut trees. The finish product.
Start 07-28-08. 24 man hours. I trimmed these over 12 years ago. Things grow so fast down in the valley. Longer season. Warmer temperatures. Especially if they get water. At any rate the trees were overgrown. Top heavy. Starting to fall apart. They needed better periodic maintenance. We had to clip the tops at about 3 inch caliper. This requires exceptional skill as a climber. If you just thin the trees and leave the tops in a situation like this. They would be more likely to break than if you left them alone. With proper periodic maintenance. You can keep most of your cuts under 3 inches. 4 inch cuts aren't too bad. Larger cuts often don't heal over. Producing cavities, excessive suckering, structural defects, etc. Often we have to work on trees that haven't been maintained for 15 or 20 or more years. Then it can get a little radical sometimes. Certain things have to be fixed. For safety. A good arborist has to be like a good surgeon. Cut what needs to be cut. Never mind how difficult it may be.M.

Plus 8 man hours of other pruning. Tree is in decline. Actually trimmed it last year. Deliberated then with the customer about trimming or removal. Silver Maples are credited with being the most notorious hazard trees. They grow so fast and get so big and start to rot quite readily.
They can be maintained though. Right down to nothing.[Trees in decline will actually start shrinking in size as you remove dead wood.] If you can afford it. Every 3 to 6 years. And. If you can comprehend it and accept it. The way they are usually trimmed though, makes them worse. If they haven't had PROPER periodic maintenance. They can be scary. Trust me. You don't want to wait for Mother Nature to trim these! Of course it can require a certain process and time to accept the idea of cutting them down.

Customer stated that several experts have looked at this tree. Non of them could positively identify just what variety of Elm it is. Not your typical Elm limb formation either. Quite beautiful. Tree was very compacted. Full of dead limbs and debris. This is the finish product. No one would guess it was trimmed. Unless they saw it before. We trim the whole tree. We go to the tip of every branch and trim for safety, structure, and design. The goal for safety is to make the tree self pruning, without major failures. In other words. In the event of a storm [wind, snow, or ice.] the tree will thin itself rather than lose major limbs or uproot. Also, pruning and thinning the canopy stimulates the tree to grow. Tree will fill back in with healthy, strong, vibrant growth. The opposite of this. Which is often mistaken for proper pruning. Is. Gutting the inside. And. Hacking the bottom half of the tree. Leaving it top heavy for Mother Nature to prune. The lower limbs stabilize the tree and roll the wind over the tree.M.

First job on the job blog. No picture of the tree before it came down. Here I'm getting ready to cut the stump at ground level. Before we bring in the stump grinder. Didn't want to leave anything for anyone to trip on. The annual Rendezvous in the Park was starting the next day.

Started on first infected Elm in East City Park. One week ago. 07-14-07. Infected with Dutch Elm Disease. Also infested with the Japanese beetles that spread the fungus. The beetles of course fly around and infest and infect other trees. Also, the fungus spreads through the root system and infects other trees that way. You can begin to see why the Dutch Elm Disease has been so devastating. Since it came here from Europe about 90 years ago. Before that. Elms were the most common shade tree in America. It's so important to try and maintain diversity. We took 7 out of the park last year. 10 went away the year before. Too many Elms in one place didn't help. I'm afraid it's not over for this year.

There was a week in September where I went a little crazy and purchased concert tickets for a few shows in back to back settings. It was really one of those, on Monday – hey want to see Matt Nathanson? On Tuesday, hey want to see Matt Wertz? Finally on Wednesday, I think I looked at a show and had to be like, Jill, concerts are great but isn't this like a bit insane? So I took a bit of a breather and decided to go with seeing two of my favorite songwriters in concert in two consecutive weeks. Upon going to the first concert this week, I've decided to call this the Battle of the Matts. Seeing as these are two artists with the same first name, and well are two of my go to music choices when I am ready to jam, I thought it would be fun to host my own battle of concerts (some of you who read the title were really hoping I was dating two guys named Matt, right? Well so does my mother – get in line).
First up was Matt Nathanson, who has a new(ish) album – Last of the Great Pretenders, that I frequent on Spotify nearly daily. The show was at Terminal 5 – which was a first time for me at this venue. Josh Radin was the opening act- another one on my list of artists that make me happy. Matt Nathanson was funny, his stories were great, making me laugh. One of my favorite song openings, was when he explained he wrote the song for an ex-girlfriend as a hope of getting back together, they didn't, but she provided enough material for five albums (clearly my documentation of the story is not nearly as good as his). He was good natured and humorous throughout the show – I thought well if he ever wants to try his hand at standup that might be a good backup career. I really enjoyed the music, the band did a great mix of newer songs and some of the old classics. I loved getting some of the stories behind the songs I often sing at my desk at work (only when my neighbors are gone), but it definitely put a personal spin on so many songs I love.
Favorite Songs: Sunday New York Times, Mission Bells, Annie's Always Waiting
Audience Participation Moment: Tiny Whitney (encouraging everyone that they have a tiny Whitney Houston trapped inside them)
Bonus: For the encore the band reappeared dressed as Poison and performed Poison songs before closing with Faster
Right now this feels like it's going to be tough for Matt Wertz to compete with, but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Can someone please tell me what this whole "National Family Dinner Night" thing is all about? Are families only being required to eat dinner together on this day because God knows the other 364 days don't matter all that much? Have our lives gotten so complicated that something as simple as eating dinner as a family has to be declared a national holiday?
We always eat dinner as a family except on rare occasions when Madhubby and I have a "date," which means he and I eat dinner together either before or after the kids do and then we spend the time chatting in the family room while the kids eat theirs. I know its not a "real" date but we have a busy household so we take comfort in the little things.
I think parents who don't make the time to come together as a family are the same people who complain about their children being distant or not wanting to spend time with them when the kids become older. I saw a Dad at the soccer game this weekend chatting away on his cellphone the entire time. I guess he's slightly better than the parents who just drop their kids off at the field and return after the game.
Hey! You, with the bluetooth-enabled headset: Your kid knows that he or she is not your number one priority and one day out of 364 ain't gonna make it right. So, forgive me if I don't think this new bogus holiday is the best thing since Ward and June Cleaver but pick up fast food, grill or just make sandwiches. Whatever it is, though, make a commitment to yourself and to your family to not just be there but to actually be present.
Instead of celebrating National Family Dinner Night, I choose to celebrate a sweet improvement to the family dinner:

Hey readers, I'm back again! You must be wondering why the weird name? The word grenouille (pronounced "gruh-noo-ee") is the French word for frog, and in the culinary arts, the term grenouilles or cuisses de grenouilles refers to frog legs. Now you know what I've been up to; this time to share my experience of having frog legs for the very first time. I know, I know many of you maybe sitting in your chairs and cringing; wondering of all things she could have tried, she chose frog legs? Given the fact that many people would find eating frog legs repulsive, I would differ from that opinion, not because I had them and found them to be rather delicious but because I would never have imagined myself having something so exotic. Also, it is a delicacy in France and China.
So, last weekend I went to this amazing modern French-styled bistro in the Distillery District of Toronto, called Cluny Bistro and Boulangerie, it has an extravagant, neo-Parisian décor, with a patio and great ambience, with retro french music playing in the background. It looked jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Alright, back to the frog legs; so as I looked through the menu my eyes caught sight of this dish, it was ginger-chili fried frog legs accompanied with ginger-chilli sauce and pickled celery, I was intrigued and I had to try it out! So, I ordered for it.
While I waited for the dish, the only thing I could think of was how the frog legs would taste, would I enjoy it or would it be a waste of money. I waited for about 20 minutes approximately until the server arrived with the dish, I could hear the slight sizzle as he placed the platter in front of me, it made the little foodie in me ecstatic. Even though it looked appealing to the eyes, I was hesitant, because despite the fact that it looked like mini versions of golden crispy fried chicken wings, they were still FROG LEGS! It kind of freaked me out, because my brain kept screaming, "they're frog legs! you're eating frog legs!". But, it didn't take long for my brains to calm down, the first bite did it! Bam! There was flavour explosion in my mouth! I was gobsmacked!
The Ginger-Chili Fried Frog Legs were tantalizingly tasty. Freshly fried, it had a nice spice mix on the legs, and perfect crispiness from the breading. It rather reminded me of buttermilk fried chicken. When I began to tear apart my frog legs I noticed, the look and texture was quite similar to that of chicken wings and fish. Inside, the meat was white in colour and nothing like the green of frog skin. I bit in and was not nearly as repulsed as I expected to be. The meat was, light, flaky, luscious and succulent, it tasted nothing like chicken, but mostly took its flavor from the cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, ginger and little hints of citrus from the lemon used. There was something a little funny about the taste though, and that was a slight fishiness. I do not know if frog legs are suppose to taste that way or not, but there was no denying that it had a sort of fishy taste to it.
The accompanied ginger-chilli sauce went perfectly well with the fried frog legs, it served as a secondary flavour to the dish. The sauce had the right amount of thickness to it; it gave off hints of sweetness and zestiness from the lime used. The chilli in the sauce packed a punch making it spicy, allowing the flavour to marry well with the moist and tender fried frog legs; while the ginger gave a satisfying zing and texture to complete the dish. The pickled celery on the other hand, provided a nice crunch and had little notes of sweetness and sourness, with the right amount of acidity to help in cleansing the palate, but was nicely offset by the fresh watercress which was used as garnish; however, not overpowering the other elements.
Boy was it delicious! I have never tried frog legs before, but these fried little gems were glorious! They were juicy, plump and moist! This distant cousin to chicken wings paired well with the ginger-chili sauce and a finishing touch of crisp pickled celery. It was one great appetizer! I would definitely go back to Cluny for this dish, as it has satiated my palate! At, the end this is exactly what you would expect from a dish, to have it linger in your mouth, to keep reminding you and giving you a tingling sensation every time you think about it. I felt the frog legs were a great gateway to amphibian meat and I can't wait to get my hands on escargots the next time round.

On a lighter note:
It's interesting to discover what cats don't understand. Possum had thought that being on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List was a desirable thing. It was practically the first he'd heard of it, at the charming age of 21 months. He wants everyone to want him. He would be happy to have the entire FBI longing to find him, pet him, play with him, and especially feed him. I spent a while explaining why he shouldn't wish to be on that list, because we want to put those people away in "crates" for life. He has a logical mind, so he wanted to know why it isn't called, "The Ten Most Unwanted."
"Believe me, Possum," I said, "You don't ever want to be on the same list with Whitey Bulger."
"I don't care what color he is, or how bulgy or out-of-shape," said Possum, "Cats don't care at all whether the other fellow is fat, skinny, white, ginger, tabby, mackerel-striped, spotted, or buff with chocolate points. I may happen to be extraordinarily handsome, myself, but it's no credit to me. It's just the fur you happen to be born with — everybody knows that. We bite each other and hiss for other reasons."
"That's not my point," I said (secretly agreeing that he is exceedingly handsome). "Like everyone else on that list, Whitey Bulger is a wicked criminal. He is a murderer, and he stole, and he terrorized whole Boston neighborhoods."
"Well, I don't know," said Possum. "He sounds like he'd have made an excellent tom cat, as long as he went after rats, primarily. I wonder what sort of things he'd steal... probably doughnuts, I hear they are very good, especially in the family-owned bakeries of East Boston and Somerville. You might bring a few home to me sometime. I am putting the jelly kind on my personal Ten Most Wanted List," said Possum, showing his aptitude for roaming far off the subject.
Home-schooling is a never-ending job. I left it to our righteous calico, Wendy, to explain feline nutrition to her brother, and tried to go to sleep. Possy's lapses may surprise me, but I can't blame him since I'm his teacher. And I often get things wrong, too, that everyone else knows. For decades, I thought that the patties at Fat Burger restaurants were made out of fat. "Who'd eat those?" I'd wonder.

HUGHESVILLE - Outreach for behaviorally challenged students and cyber and charter school tuition were topics of discussion at the East Lycoming School Board meeting, held Tuesday evening. …Cyber school and charter school attendees also place a heavy financial burden on the school district. According to Superintendent Michael Pawlik, the district spent an estimated $400,000 on charter and cyber school tuition in the 2012-13 school year. During the meeting, the board adopted a resolution that calls for the reform of the state's charter and cyber school funding formula. The resolution asks that the state come up with a cyber and charter school funding formula "based on the actual cost of educating students ... at the charter school."
Dim the lights: No musical for CAPA
Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer POSTED: Friday,
April 26, 2013,
Money is so tight in the
that the
unthinkable has happened. For the first time in 17 years, CAPA - the High
School for Creative and Performing Arts, the district's arts gem on Philadelphia
School District South Broad Street
- cannot afford to put on a musical. "I
was shocked and upset," said Jack Schmieg, a freshman vocal major at Oberlin College
in who
starred as Jean Valjean in CAPA's production of Les Misérables last
year. "I couldn't imagine not having a musical. . . . I
was in the musical every year at CAPA, and it was the highlight of every year
for me and everybody else that participated." Ohio
Senior Daniel Wisniewski was disappointed, too. He played Javert in Les Mis and had expected to audition for an even bigger role this spring. "I feel bad for all the other seniors," he said. "This was going to be our year."
But disappointment turned to disbelief when they heard that a new performing-arts charter high school that the School Reform Commission approved last year planned to buy GlaxoSmithKline's former North American headquarters at 16th and Vine Streets for $29 million.
"Really?" said Wisniewski, who will major in theater at
in the fall. "And we can't get a musical?" Ithaca College

Even though there isn't yet a formal request for $60 million from the city for the schools, Council President Darrell Clarke says district representatives will ask officially in May.
In addition to asking the city for $60 million, the School District District of Philadelphia is seeking $120 million from the state to help fill the its $300 million budget shortfall.
Derry Area officials consider slightly lower tax hike
TribLive By Jeff Himler Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013, 12:01 a.m.
…..Koluder said a 3-mill hike would raise the average Derry Area property owner's tax bill by $35.49. Koluder said salaries and benefits account for the largest anticipated increase in expenditures, at $772,700. Most of that, $608,580, is attributed to spiking costs for retirement benefits. According to Koluder, the district will spend about $70,000 less than was originally planned for health benefits because it obtained a better-than-expected rate for coverage through an area consortium. He said installation of new energy-efficient lighting will create additional savings. With anticipated decreases of $447,000 in state funding and $138,000 in federal funding, the district is looking to draw about $1.4 million from its fund balance in order to balance the 2013-14 budget.
Fixing the '
Opportunity Gap' to Close the Achievement Gap
Education Week Politics K-12 Blog By Lesli A. Maxwell on April 25, 2013
What would it really take to close the achievement gap?
The answer, according to a cadre of education scholars who have just published a new book, is to fix the "opportunity gap" that exists between children born into middle class and affluent families and those who are not. Thirty years after the release of the seminal A Nation at Risk report ushered in an era of academic standards and standardized tests to measure how students were mastering those, "Closing the Opportunity Gap," argues that until federal and state governments, as well as local school districts, devote as much time and attention to making investments in broad access to quality preschool, health care, good teachers, and rich curricula as they have to driving up test scores and graduation rates, the academic gaps between upper and middle-class kids and their low-income peers will never disappear.

We Are Winning! The Coming Revolution in American Public Education!
Diane Ravitch's Blog By dianerav April 26, 2013 //
Dear Friends, Never despair! We are winning.
John Tierney of the New York Times just published an article about "The Coming Revolution in Public Education." Tierney sees what we see. The insane obsession with bubble-guessing is out of control. The profiteers have over-reached. The Billionaire Boys Club do not own us nor can they buy our schools. They are losing. We are winning. We are winning because we are fighting for children and for better education for all. We are not fighting for profits and test scores.
The Coming Revolution in Public Education
Critics say the standardized test-driven reforms pushed by those like Michelle Rhee may actually be harming students.
Atlantic by JOHN TIERNEYAPR 25 2013, ET
It's always hard to tell for sure exactly when a revolution starts. Is it when a few discontented people gather in a room to discuss how the ruling regime might be opposed? Is it when first shots are fired? When a critical mass forms and the opposition acquires sufficient weight to have a chance of prevailing? I'm not an expert on revolutions, but even I can see that a new one is taking shape in American K-12 public education.
The dominant regime for the past decade or more has been what is sometimes called accountability-based reform or, by many of its critics, "corporate education reform." The reforms consist of various initiatives aimed at (among other things): improving schools and educational outcomes by using standardized tests to measure what students are learning; holding schools and teachers accountable (through school closures and teacher pay cuts) when their students are "lagging" on those standardized assessments; controlling classroom instruction and increasing the rigor of school curricula by pushing all states to adopt the same challenging standards via a "Common Core;" and using market-like competitive pressures (through the spread of charter schools and educational voucher programs) to provide public schools with incentives to improve.

Critics of the contemporary reform regime argue that these initiatives, though seemingly sensible in their original framing, are motivated by interests other than educational improvement and are causing genuine harm to American students and public schools. Here are some of the criticisms: the reforms have self-interest and profit motives, not educational improvement, as their basis; corporate interests are reaping huge benefits from these reform initiatives andspending millions of dollars lobbying to keep those benefits flowing; three big foundations (Gates, Broad, and Walton Family) are funding much of the backing for the corporate reforms and are spending billions to market and sell reforms that don't work; ancillary goals of these reforms are to bust teacher unions, disempower educators, and reduce spending on public schools;standardized testing is enormously expensive in terms both of public expenditures and the diversion of instruction time to test prep; over a third of charter schools deliver "significantly worse" results for students than the traditional public schools from which they were diverted; and, finally, that these reforms have produced few benefits and have actually caused harm, especially to kids in disadvantaged areas and communities of color.
Hedge Funders Say It's 'A Badge Of Honor' To Be Targeted By 'Thuggish' Teachers Unions
Business Insider by Julia La Roche | Apr. 25, 2013, | 4,668 | 48
The American Federation of Teachers, a labor union that represents teachers, is going after a bunch of hedge funders who support education reform. Last week, the AFT released a "watch list" of hedge funds they think are "attacking" their defined benefit plans (DB plans) through their support of various educational reform groups.

My Computer has decided to not work.. again. I'm posting from R's laptop while he isn't using it for UNI or work. I've finally made the purchase of a laptop, so that should be arriving within a week or so and blogging will become a while lot easier.. hopefully.
I have been sick, for just over a week now and it's really starting to give me the shits.. literally. I've been spending most of my time in bed, sleeping. I seriously didn't know someone could sleep so much.. I feel like my whole existence has been sleeping.
I was accepted into university and will be starting my studies in July. I will be studying Psychology and I am so super duper excited about it.
I've been thinking about only posting 2-3 times a week. I've been getting my fitness on, when I'm not hugging the toilet, and I have been enjoying spending some time away from the computer so a cut back on posts would be good, plus, I think my posts will be a much better quality than what they are at the moment..
Keep it real,

garmâ (#)
Fr.: chaleur
Energy possessed by a substance in the form of kinetic energy of atomic or molecular translation, rotation, or vibration.
Heat, from O.E. hætu, hæto, from P.Gmc. *khaitin- "heat," from *khaitaz "hot" (cf. O.N. hiti, Ger. hitze "heat," Goth. heito "fever").

The ratio of an amount of heat, dQ, transferred to a body in some process to the corresponding change in the temperature of the body: C = dQ/dT. The heat capacity depends upon the mass of the body, its chemical composition, thermodynamic state, and the kind of process employed to transfer the heat.

heat conduction
hâzeš-e garmâ
Fr.: conduction de chaleur
A type of → heat transfer by means of molecular agitation within a material without any motion of the material as a whole.
→ heat; → conduction.

First introduced by the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) in 1854, on the basis of William Thomson's (1824-1907) idea.
heat of vaporization
garmâ-ye boxâreš
Fr.: chaleur de vaporisation

Skt. áśman- "stone, rock, thunderbolt;" Gk. akmon "heaven, meteor, anvil;" Akmon was the father of Ouranos (Uranus), god of sky; Lith. akmuo "stone;" Rus. kamen; PIE base *akmon- "stone, sky." The link between the "stone" and "sky" concepts indicates that the sky had once been conceived as a stone vault by prehistoric Indo-Europeans.
heavenly body
jesm-e âsmâni
Fr.: corps céleste
Heaviside layer
lâye-ye Heaviside (#)
Fr.: couche de Heaviside

An open letter to Edward Timpson MP
Dear Edward,
Thank you for taking the time to write to me personally. You must have been up into the early hours night after night writing individual letters by hand to each and every resident in the constituency. It's really refreshing to see a local politician make that personal touch rather than send out another dreary generic self serving monologue that addresses nothing of any substance and relates in no way to specific local needs.
You mentioned in my personal letter the same as you mentioned in the personal letters you sent to my wife, parents and several friends that "I have always endeavoured to be a responsible, accessible local MP" and that "local unemployment is now even lower, and we're seeing funding pour into better roads". I'm glad that on your 13 mile drive to reach your local constituency that you have noticed more money has been needed to pay outside contractors to fill a few thousand or so more pot holes. This is just one example to show how locally living outside of the area has given you, our local MP, a better perspective of our local needs from afar.
You say "Our young people are thriving in jobs and apprenticeships" which is great! So three cheers for the 20% rise in zero hours contracts making local unemployment lower! Your boss David Cameron really is coming good on his pledge of "making work pay" so I bet you're all relieved you don't have to include the 1.8 million people working zero hour contracts in the official national unemployment figures.
Your letter was rather brief which is understandable when you had so many to write so I'll have to keep mine brief too without much else to refer to. I'm sure you're rather too busy to be reading letters anyway at this time of year, what with the election coming up you'll be concentrating on getting your photo in the Crewe Chronicle as many times as possible and then there's lots of work still to be done on repealing that pesky hunting ban and quietly pushing through the £100billion trident nuclear weapon renewal.
It's great to see candidates and MPs being active and setting a good example for a healthy lifestyle so in this busy period I hope you still find time to enjoy your favourite sports of marathon running, which is highly commendable, and of course fox hunting and badger culling, I mean who doesn't like to see a majestic red fox savagely ripped to pieces?
Finally, and once again, thank you for your hand written letter. It's good to see you're not wasting your time as Crewe and Nantwich MP by trudging around from door to door like the other party candidates are doing and trying to speak to local people face to face. Who does that these days? It's so awkward having to look people in the eye when they're talking.
Yours Sincerely,

Give him a break. I actually think he's a jolly good chap.

agree he's probably a good chap but also understand why letters like this alienate the voters. this is actually a very funny read
- 30 March 2015 at 14:30
incisively harsh but very funny especially the end note

Thanks for your comments. I do realise Eddie ain't all that bad, we could be lumbered with worse but his dreary generic mass printed letter made out in pseudo handwriting really does deserve some cynical satire.

British Olympic sailor dies as America's Cup boat capsizes
A British Olympic sailor has died after a Swedish catamaran capsized during a training session for the America's Cup in San Francisco Bay.Andrew "Bart" Simpson - a double Olympic medallist - was one of an 11-man crew on board the Artemis Racing catamaran, the team website said.
It said Mr Simpson, 36, from Sherborne in Dorset, was trapped under the boat and efforts to revive him failed.
Artemis is a Swedish team due to take part in the America's Cup.
On its website, Artemis Racing said: "It is with immense sadness that Artemis Racing confirms the tragic death of crewmember Andrew "Bart" Simpson today in San Francisco."
At a news conference by the Bay, Artemis chief executive Paul Cayard said it was a "tragic day" for the crew.
"We have a lot to deal with in the next few days in terms of assuring everybody's wellbeing," Mr Cayard said, as he offered his thoughts and prayers to Mr Simpson's wife and family.
Cause unclear Mr Simpson won the Olympic Star class gold with Iain Percy - his Artemis team boss - in Beijing in 2008 and they took silver in London in 2012.
Artemis said that doctors "afloat" with the team tried unsuccessfully to revive the British sailor after he was freed from the wreckage.
"We're devastated by the news from San Francisco today," he said.
"Andrew is someone I've worked closely with since the age of 16. He was a great talent and a key figure in our World Class Programme over many years culminating in his well-deserved Olympic success.
"He was a huge inspiration to others, both within the British Sailing Team and across the nation and our deepest sympathies go out to his family at this terrible time."
Stephen Park, RYA Olympic Manager, described Mr Simpson as "a fantastic sailor who got the best out of everyone he sailed with".
San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said that, following the capsize, two sailors were brought to shore and taken to the St Francis Yacht Club where paramedics performed CPR on one of them.
The other person's injuries were not life-threatening, she said.
The rest of the crew from the capsized boat were transferred to a support boat operated by Oracle Racing, which is defending its America's Cup title from last year, officials said.
Mr Simpson served as the Swedish team's strategist.
Lt Jeannie Crump of the Coast Guard said it was not yet clear what caused the 72ft (22m) boat to capsize.
She said that a commercial salvage boat would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island.
The America's Cup race is due to run from July until September.
It is believed to be the second time a sailor has died during training for the race.
In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge was fatally injured after being struck on the head by a broken piece of equipment.

Sirius is hoping for some happy Christmas sales with its Personal Finance Pack, which is scheduled to hit retailers' shelves this week.
The package sees a 56K NetComm Simplicity modem bundled with Quicken 6 financial software, VET antivirus software, a free 100-hour online deal with OzEmail, and Smith Micro fax software.
Sold separately, the bundle is said to be worth more than $600, and carries a price tag of $229.
Sirius' managing director, David Stewart, said: "We have been fortunate to secure OEM bundling deals with Quicken and VET from Computer Associates, which have allowed us to offer this exceptional deal." He said that it is targeted primarily at SMEs, although it will also appeal to some home users.
Meanwhile, the company has reported that sales of its most popular modems have jumped by 80 per cent since the company launched a cash-back offer on October 1.
The deal relates to the Banksia Wave SP56 V.90, the NetComm Roadster II 56 Ultra SVD, and the NetComm Roadster II 56.
"Our cash-back offer will be open for the rest of the century," Stewart said. The top-selling Banksia Wave SP56K had been reduced from $259 to $229, with the cash-back offer bringing the Wave's shelf value down to $199.
"We are closing the gap between our brand-name modems and the lower-cost imports," Stewart claimed.

Cute adorable Nici Plush Toys
Nici plush toys are so cute, adorable, hug able, and their own unique personalities will make a great companion for kids and even adults.
My boyfriend (now husband) discovered Nici few years ago as a last-minute Valentine's present and they're adorable, so he's been begging me to start collecting Nici plush toys. I haven't given it much thought because it is hard to find Nici in Australia. And if we find one, the price is ridiculously high.
But thanks to the high Australian dollar and many new forwarding companies which offer competitive shipping prices, recently we start to hunt Nici toys to complete our collection. That's the main reason I created this page, which is to list all the online shops which sells Nici products as well as my own Nici wishlists. The list will grow overtime and I'm still hunting for more online shops which deliver Nici products to Australia.
If you are Nici collector, feel free to leave your comments at the end of this page and I will be very happy if you can leave your blog / site link as well. I will include your Nici site on the Nici Collectors List.

There is such a car insurers they know how to. Providing your email address if the damages of a further tarnished credit file. This one because you are in a matter of minutes.

The bank reserves the right insurance plan most likely to claim on your state's laws regarding no fault of no claims Discount. Well how in the effect that one should take five minutes and can be truly irritating on one's part.

I have just researched a bunch of children book illustrations competitions and found a couple that I really want to enter. I just joined Drawn, which is a wonderful site for illustrators to join that will get their names out there and view other illustrators work. I am tired but can't stop searching for other opportunities because my job as an illustrator for this children book that I'm currently illustrating for is almost to it's end and need motivation. The only way for me to keep up my motivation is to constantly search for job opportunities and competitions in this field.
I have just started writing my own children book and am halfway to finish writing it. I will illustrate and try to enter it into some competitions. I have found a couple of publishers but I may need and agent, so I'm also looking to find one. I have a lot on my plate.

Joe Bonamassa – Dust Bowl album review
Released on J&R Adventures. Release date: Available now
As many will know, I'm not a huge blues fan, unless it's really blues that rocks and Joe Bonamassa along with a number of other players ala Jeff Healey (RIP), Gary Moore (RIP), Kenny Wayne-Shepherd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Aynsley Lister, Walter Trout, etc, to name just a few all possess the ability to do just that.
Joe Bonamassa though is possibly one of my own personal favorites in that category and vocally he often reminds me of Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company) and it's clear he's been influenced by Rodgers, as he includes his own interpretation of Free's 'Heartbreaker' on this latest album here, 'Dust Bowl.'
It's an album where, as on his last album 'Black Rock,' he has producer Kevin Shirley (Black Country Communion, Journey, Iron Maiden) onboard once again, who does a fine job.
Opening with the grooving 'Slow Train' Joe sounds smooth and very slick, which while it's slow to mid paced, it still has that rocking vibe. Love the build up for the intro.
Title track 'Dust Bowl' itself starts with perhaps an almost Pink Floyd type of feel here with the vibrato sound Joe uses.
Again, much like the opener it's generally in a slower vein and almost eerie in places, but yes, still very much grooving.
Joe has once more pulled in some name guests to join his performance on this album and next track 'Tennessee Plates,' is a fun run with John Hiatt and Vince Gill both onboard and it's an upbeat jingly jangly sounding run through, of course with that southern country rocking feel. Great stuff, especially the final line of the last verse, '… making Tennessee Plates!'
Dark and moody, true rocking blues next for 'The Meaning of the Blues,' which shift gears throughout and what an excellent solo from the man and the overall atmospheric sound captured here and throughout the album is wonderful.
Time for a little Bouzouki from Joe for the intro of 'Black Lung Heartache,' that then almost gets into a meaty rocking blues Led Zeppelin type backing riff, but some seriously nice slide guitar work too.
'You'd Better Watch Yourself,' is a more up tempo rocking blues number, that's just speaks for itself, to keep things balanced.
On 'The Last Matador of Bayonne,' it's an epic like huge slower blues piece where Joe plays a beautiful soulful and yet ripping solo, which some haunting trumpet in the background. Brilliant!
Joe's Black Country Communion band mate Glenn Hughes joins him to share lead vocal duties on Free's 'Heartbreaker' next and Joe duly keeps the legend of Paul Kossoff's playing alive with some serious nice guitar work. Wow!
Sirens introduces and closes the dark heavy groove of the Michael Kamen / Tim Curry written 'No Love on the Street' which also features Beth Hart sharing some vocals too as it drifts up and down and yes of course, not without yet more stunning solo work from Joe.
This guy deserves to be so much more popular than he's ever given credit for.
'The Whale That Swallowed Jonah,' next picks up the pace some with an almost twelve bar backing riff and it rocks well with some backing, driving piano, some Mandolin too and you cannot help but tap your feet along with this one, it's class!
A little honky tonk style piano and shuffle alongside Vince Gill next on 'Sweet Rowena,' drives this one on. Well done guys.
The song 'Prisoner' originally from the movie, 'The Eyes of Laura Mars,' sung previously by Barbara Streisand closes the album in a soulful manner from Joe and here it grows through his playing into a massive epic number.
A great album indeed, which once more shows that Joe Bonamassa certainly demands so much respect and it's clear to me that so many of the artists that have inspired him, recognize just that, as they frequently play with the guy.
'Dust Bowl' is a must buy album for blues and guitar lovers everywhere, thanks for the music Joe, looking forward to the next one … Oh, now where that's new BCC album got to …? Here it is!
Time to get listening to more of the man's playing!
