MR Cancer Group
The MR Cancer Group at NTNU, headed by Professor Tone F. Bathen, focuses on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy in identification of the functional and metabolic changes that precede anatomic evidence of cancer disease.
The group, which was founded by Professor Ingrid S. Gribbestad, is internationally recognised as one of the most experienced in large-scale tissue analyses and has long experience with functional MR imaging in cancer diagnostics.
Our long-term objective is to improve and individualise cancer treatment by developing integrated MR methods and data analysis tools for functional and molecular assessment of tumours.
We use a broad spectrum of systems for cancer studies, spanning from cultured cancer cells to humans, and have access to dedicated MR equipment for in vitro, ex vivo, preclinical and clinical research.
Prostate Cancer Research
Breast Cancer Research
The MR Cancer Group can be found at the MR Centre at NTNU and St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim. The group belongs to the Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging (ISB), the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, NTNU.

The Time of the Dinosaur
|Before photos of the thin t-shirts.
One of the dino t-shirts was pulled from my mother's drawer, the famous pile of sentimentality in the form of worn and stained and faded t-shirts that I came upon in the summer... that same famous pile which is down to only three t-shirts now. The other dino t-shirt was brought back this past November from Costa Rica by my father. Really, one of the dinosaur t-shirts was his and one was hers but as their lives were so intricately entwined, it does justice to the over fifty years of togetherness to have my father's dinosaur t-shirt become part of the Tekla quilt. It was time for the old boy to retire... no, not my father, but the dino t-shirt. My father, alive and invigorated, continues to evolve, not a dinosaur at all. And with this evolution, I dedicate the dinosaur blocks to him and to the great love and care he gave to our mother, especially through her devastatingly brief and aggressive illness.
|The four dinosaur blocks, two from each shirt.
It takes a gentle man to see all that.
|Some of the famous painted t-shirts: parrot, dinosaur, and flower.
A Ukrainian Thread
|Details of my embroidery attempts.
Growing up in the prairie farmland of Saskatchewan, my mother's first language was Ukrainian. My Baba, her mother, was a farmer and quilter and maker of some of the tastiest Ukrainian perogies known to the prairies. The simple and colourful threads and my attempt at fine, even stitches paid homage to both my Mother's, my Baba's, and the rest of the family's Ukrainian culture and background. My embroidered stuffed garlic, although puckered and not entirely successful, reeks of Ukrainian prairie farm goodness.

Limping, Walking, Downward Dog, and the Napoleonic Wars
How does it feel to walk again?.... a little sore, a little wobbly, scary on ice, and absolutely amazing. After almost four months of crutches and knee walkers and rolling chairs and whatever else I could do to keep off my fractured left foot, I walk with very little grace and agility but I walk... and each day is an improvement. Slowly moving my foot in ways that I will never take for granted again... that complete bend of the toes in downward facing dog is a yogic impossibility right now... soon, though, soon.
|Napoleon's infamous surgeon, Jacques Lisfranc, and his battlefield.
And, yes, born in the right era, for sure.

Happy for a New Year
2012 will be a year to never forget. Losing my mother, breaking my foot, middle age hard upon me. Still, in the creases that have formed around my eyes, there are no truly sad stories. I am one of the lucky ones. 2012 saw children shot dead, women savagely raped, homes destroyed, fires burned, poverty, war, hatred, bigotry, violence. I know none of this. The cherished life of ease and entitlement that I have... living in this place, at this moment, is something I entirely take for granted. For it is in this luxury of time and space, as I sew and write, that I realize that I have not entirely lost my mother in so much as I have found her in myself. A rich life lived by her, has been gifted to me in my pampered and peaceful existence. Although my sadness is real, I know no unbearable pain.
Still... high hopes for 2013 to be a better year, if not for me, for the rest of this beautiful and pitiful human race.

The SureCall Fusion 5X is a 2G/3G/4G LTE 72 dB signal booster kit. It offers coverage of up to 20,000 sq ft across all US and Canadian carrier networks, including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers, and Bell.
An upgraded version of this product, the Fusion5X 2.0 signal booster kit, is now available.
The Fusion5X is the first SureCall amplifier that does not have attenuation knobs. Instead of requiring installers to adjust gain manually, sophisticated internal software automatically and continuously optimizes gain ensuring the Fusion5X is always operating at maximum performance.
The Fusion5X comes with several indoor antenna options, explained in detail below. The kit includes either one or four indoor antennas (either panel or dome), a 4-way splitter and all the required cabling. The four indoor antenna option means that installation can easily be configured to suit large and/or complex building layouts, ensuring optimum booster coverage.
The Fusion5X offers coverage up to 20,000 sq ft, placing it conveniently between SureCall's Fusion5s (which covers up to 6,000 sq ft and is an excellent choice for home owners) and the SureCall Force5 (which covers up to 25,000 sq ft and is a great commercial grade solution).
- Boosts voice, text and 4G LTE signals for all North American cell carriers
- Automatic dB gain/attenuation optimizes booster performance without dials
- Maximum gain, uplink and downlink power
- Reduces dropped & missed calls and improves 4G LTE Data Speeds
- Increases signal strength & extends battery life for all cellular devices
- Coverage for large buildings, up to 20,000 Sq Ft
- 3 Year Warranty Included
- FCC and Industry Approved for all North American carriers
Kit Contents
- SureCall Fusion5X 72 dB 5-Band Amplifier
- SureCall Omni Directional Outside Antenna SC-288W
- 4 x SureCall Dome Antenna SC-222W OR 4 x SureCall Panel Antenna SC-248W
- 1x30ft. SureCall Ultra Low-Loss CM400 Coax Cable SC-400-30NN
- 5x75ft. SureCall Ultra Low-Loss CM400 Coax Cable SC-400-75NN
- SureCall 4-Way Splitter SC-WS-4
- AC Power Supply
Outside Antenna
The SureCall Fusion5X uses a SC-288W Omni Outdoor Antenna. This antenna has 4 dB gain. Omnidirectional antennas receive and send signals in a 360º radius. They can receive signals from multiple cell towers and is best for boosting signal on many different carriers. They are excellent in most situations where the existing outside signal strength is moderate to strong.
Inside Antenna
The SureCall Fusion5X kit comes with a choice of either 1 or 4 inside antennas. The four-antenna options also include the required 4-way splitter and cabling.
The one-antenna options is a great choice if you only need to boost signal in one area. If you need coverage across multiple floors, you'll want the four-antenna option. Four antennas gives customers the flexibility to customize installations to meet a variety of needs in commercial buildings and large homes. Depending on the building layout, there is a choice of dome antennas or panel antennas:
The SC-222W Omni Dome Antenna is a multi-band omni-directional plastic dome antenna which gathers signals from all sides. It has 6dB gain and is designed for central locations with 360º coverage. The range of the antenna is dependent on three factors: 1) physical obstructions, 2) power generated by the booster and 3) reception from outside signal received and distributed by the outside antenna. Besides the antenna itself, parts include mounting equipment. It needs to be mounted to the ceiling for best results and you will need to run a cable to the back of the ceiling.
The SC-248W Panel Antenna is a directional antenna with up to 10dB gain. Panel antennas allow optimum reception to targeted areas. It can be mounted to the wall.
Lightning Surge Protector
We recommend using a lightning surge protector in most cases, but particularly if you'll be installing the kit in an area with frequent lightning. The surge protector should be installed in line with the cable and near the amplifier, and should be properly grounded.

Mario Monti has taken a step towards bridging Europe's north-south divide over how to support the euro zone's weaker economies by finding common ground with Finland over the need for concerted intervention to reduce excessively high borrowing costs.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Helsinki, Jyrki Katainen, Finnish prime minister, said markets were acting irrationally and had not recognized the value of Italy's reforms implemented by its technocrat prime minister.
Finland was Mr. Monti's second stop of a diplomatic push that began in France and ends in Spain on Thursday. Helsinki was arguably his most important objective in terms of winning support for using the euro zone's rescue funds—possibly backed by the European Central Bank —to intervene on bond markets where Italy is borrowing at rates seen as unsustainable in the long run.
"Italy is in a comfortable position in terms of public finances," Mr. Monti said, noting that its projected budget deficit this year of 2 percent would be half the euro zone average. But he added: "It is in a very uncomfortable position regarding unrealistically high [bond yield] spreads."
Mr. Monti said he believed that the euro zone's ESM rescue fund, yet to be put in place, would be granted a banking license eventually to give it more firepower, a position that clearly puts him at odds with Germany.
Mr. Katainen said a "dual track" approach was needed of countries pursuing reforms in parallel with concerted European action on interest rates, although he did not elaborate on what kind of intervention Finland might support and made no mention of an ESM banking licence.
Nonetheless, aides said the two prime ministers, who clearly enjoyed their encounter, had a very positive meeting and that Finland was ready to discuss all options, recognizing that the interest rates it was paying were unrealistically low.
"You are Mr. Single Market for us," Mr. Katainen said, praising Mr. Monti's earlier life as European competition commissioner and endorsing his current reform efforts.
Finnish officials have previously spoken of the political hurdles in persuading Finns to put up more money for Europe's bailout mechanisms, and how using the ESM to intervene on open markets would be unlikely to succeed. Targeted intervention at bond auctions is seen as a possible option, however.
Neither prime minister was ready to say what action the ECB should take at its monthly governing council meeting on Thursday, although Mr. Monti made a point of praising Mario Draghi, ECB president, for his comments last week on the obstacles to a euro zone solution posed by excessively high bond rates.

It's being reported that Google is planning to launch a music service imminently. A number of sources quoted by TechCrunch are saying that the company is securing content from major labels, and one source has named the offering "Google Audio".
At a time when the whole world and its dog are launching music services, it's unclear whether the music platform will be download-based like iTunes, streaming-based like Spotify and Pandora, or a hybrid of the two like Napster and Sky Songs. It'll be available to "at least" the US, but we'd predict that it'd be limited to the States for the time being - licensing of tracks in multiple territories is a real headache.
Google already has a music service in China that allows users to download tracks for free, and it has a music search engine that can be accessed by putting "music:" before a query in the search box. Songs accessed that way aren't available to listen to, however.
This is a breaking story and we'll bring you more news as it arrives.
Thanks to Alan for the tip.
Update: A little trawling has revealed that Google Audio popped up in 2006 on the company's job search boards. There were talks at the time with major labels, but nothing came of it. Could it be that Google decided the industry wasn't ready back then, and it is now?
Update II: TechCrunch is now reporting that iLike and Lala will be partnering with Google on this one, and it'll allow users to stream songs from search results. There'll also be the option to buy downloads. Seems like an odd move to us, especially as current streaming options from both iLike and Lala are very limited, but perhaps there's more to it. We'll keep you posted.

Mothers day is about an hour and a half away.
I have already baked a lemon cake.
Frosted said lemon cake.
Filled lemon cake with homemade lemon curd.
Made fondant to cover the cake.
Made gum paste flowers to decorate the cake.
Tore off the fondant because it was horribly bumpy.
Thrown away all the gum paste flowers because they didn't match the cake now.
Made homemade whipping cream to cover the mess of a cake.
Then my sweet loving husband came out looked at my cake and said...do you think that is enough?
Now with 18 people eating dessert this was already on my mind
I was just waiting for someone to say it...
and he did...
an hour and a half before we were supposed to leave.
Immediately I think of strawberry shortcake.
Which is a very easy dessert unless you are Brians grandma. She cuts up POUNDS of strawberries by hand and makes her own whipping cream and biscuits! She is quite amazing.
I know I cannot come anywhere close to how amazing hers is...so i decided to be as unlike myself as possible!
I had this trifle bowl that I had never used except for to store things.
Ran to Fred Meyer and grabbed:
4 boxes of strawberries
4 angel food cakes
4 tubs of cool whip
I cut the pound cake into cubes and put it on the bottom
Then I layered the cool whip on top.
Then I cut up all the strawberries and added a little vanilla sugar (thanks to my aunt robin for the awesome housewarming gift!)
Layered the strawberries.
Cool whip on top of the strawberries
Then another loaf of pound cake on top!
I bought way too much...so I made the same dessert for my family the next day!
Here is one picture, one horrible iPhone picture...
Yes, the presentation could be a lot better.
But for being in a hurry and a VERY last minute dessert, I would say it is pretty good!

Objective of "Price Power" service:
"Know the next day's Market Price Direction & Predicted High & Low"
Important guidelines in Price Power service to get the right Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
Know the Market Direction and potential trend in advance one day before market opens
We prefer to use 30mts Intraday Time Frame in order to avoid too many whipsaws and confusions for effective intraday trading.
In the below charts, our 30 mts Intraday interval starts from 9am to 9.30am and 9.30am to 10am and so on..
In this service, we provide Predicted Market Direction for the Next Trading Day, Predicted Entry Price, Predicted Target 1 & Target 2 and Predicted High & Predicted Low in excel sheet one day in advance by email.
In the below examples, we have not used any indicators but marked our predicted price points on the price charts to plan for the next trading day. We suggest traders to trade only in the predicted direction. Trading in the reversal direction is optional. Entry Price must be the opening price of the next candle only if the previous candle closed above or below the predicted entry price. Stop Loss must be above or below the previous bar as the case may be. Target Prices can be used to book profit or keep trailing your stop loss at the low of every reversal candle to stay with the trend.
This service is purely based on the Candlestick Price Action but not interlinked with our Market Timing Advance Prediction Chart.

Price Power Frequently Asked Questions:
How this service is different from Advance Prediction Graph and how effective is this?
It's a study on Market Price Action and Direction. Advance Prediction Graph is a study on Market Timing and cycle analysis. This service is highly effective and once you know the Predicted Direction of Price Movement for the next day or week, you can avoid all opposite signals and limit your trades.
Is this service based on market indicators?
No. Indicators lag behind and indicate past movement, Price Action signals about Present Situation and Market Timing indicates Future prediction of Market Movement. Price Action is more dynamic than lagging indicators.
When you offer Market Timing Prediction Graph, what is the objective of this service?
Market Prediction Graph is a Time and Cycle Analysis and a roadmap for success. Price Direction Prediction is an additional service and one can either combine this service with Market Prediction Graph or use it as a standalone service.
Do you provide Future Prediction of Price Movement in this service?
We provide the Predicted Market Price Direction for the next day (Intraday) or next week or next month for your favorite stocks or index or Commodities or Currency or Forex or any Global Stock or Index.
If I do not find time to trade intraday, do you offer positional service?
Yes. With preferred Entry Price, Stop Loss and Targets. Positional service are highly effective due to end of day study on Price Action.
Do you provide this service by sms or whatsapp?
Upon confirmation of your subscription, we will send you an excel file with details on Next Day's Predicted Direction either Intraday or Daily, Preferred Entry Price, Predicted Price Targets.
Since you are offering Price Direction Prediction service, can I use a combination of Monthly, Weekly, Daily and Intraday to nail big opportunities in the market?
Yes. You can use multiple combinations in this way
- Intraday and Daily
- Intraday, Daily and Weekly
- Daily, Weekly and Monthly
Can I use Market Timing Prediction and Price Direction Prediction Service together for effective trading?
You can use both the services to substantiate your trade entry and exit.
Do I need to use any software?
If you are trading Intraday, we suggest to use technical software since we provide only predicted Price Direction with preferred Entry and Target Prices. You must use technical software for further confirmation of Entry Price and Stop Loss. For Daily or Positional Traders, we provide Entry, Stop Loss and Target Prices.
Can I catch the trend from the beginning till the end in positional trading?
There are two ways to stay with trend in this service. In one way, you can book your profits at the predicted target price one or two or you can stay with the trend till it signals the opposite intraday direction. In other words, you are in a buy position and do not want to exit the targeted prices. You can wait for your next day's excel prediction file to know the predicted intraday trend. If next day's predicted trend is on Sell, you can take your profits in the opening bell and wait for next buy entry.
If I opt for Intraday Price Prediction Service, which time frame do you suggest?
We suggest 30mts time frame for intraday. Once you take entry in the predicted direction, stop loss should be high or low of the previous bar. Try it out for a week and see how you enjoy your stress free trading. Even working professionals can focus on the market once in every 15mts or 30mts to confirm the trend and direction.
Can I get the signals for all the stocks for intraday?
We provide a basic package of one index and 4 stocks totaling to 5. You can choose any index and 4 stocks of your choice. If you want to have 2 Indices say Nifty and Banknifty, you can select another 3 stocks totaling to 5. You can choose multiple packages of your choice.
Can I choose to get the stocks with only buy or sell signals?
Yes. You can select stocks which are only in the potential buy or sell during intraday. Once Intraday move in the predicted direction continues till end of the day, you can convert your intraday to positional trade and stay with the trend.

Buying river rock...cu yards and tons
Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Moderator: convert-me.com

I'm thinking $25/ ton because we bought mulch there and it was at least half the price of the mulch at the other place and they seem to have reseanable prices with other stuff. Just wanted to be sure. Help!

The Fill-in Boyfriend by Kasie West
Paperback: 352 pages
Publication date: May 5th 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen
Add on: Goodreads
When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend— two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.
The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party — three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.
Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.
GUYS! There's going to be a new Kasie West contemporary!! (but not until May…so faaaaaaaaar!) Seriously, this sounds one sounds adorable~ I love fake (usually turn real) boyfriends!

Thursday, July 15, 2010
I wore a white eyelet onezie and my velvet MJ flats (not pictured) to meet up with some friends. We were very excited to be united!
Friday, July 16, 2010
I karaoke'd, etc in this black UO onezie, buffalo check sweater from Target, and Kenzie belt. These grey heels -- from the set of Everly Yours -- made my feet bleed, but I really didn't mind!
Saturday, July 17, 2010
Saturday, July 17, 2010
Kelly and I danced the night away at the Vampire Ball at the Boston Twilight Convention in our best duds. (I made this dress.) We had so much fun!
Sunday, July 18, 2010
Sunday, July 18, 2010
I got into some cheesecake in a big way in my favorite blue onezie, a Native American-inspired belt and some white keds. I broke out my blue Maxx bag so I could be so matchy matchy.
Monday, July 19, 2010
Monday, July 19, 2010
Went to my internship in this Gap getup. I carried my bathing suit in my backpack so that Erin and I could hit Walden Pond for a dip after work.
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Boring alery! I did some laundry and grocery shopping in another Gap outfit.
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
I wore this outfit to my last day at my internship. I paired a UO tank with an H&M skirt and my very worn Madden flats.
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Thursday, July 22, 2010
I wore this BP cardi, black tank, and pair of Gap jeans while I went window shopping on Newbury Street on my day off. I majorly coveted a leather jacket in this outfit. I'm proud to say that I walked away from that purchase -- in my CK sandals, no less!
Friday, July 23, 2010
Friday, July 23, 2010
I went out for Venezuelan food with Maija and Gordie in this zig zag tank, patent belt and Gap jeans. We almost saw Inception but we were sodarnsleepy.
Saturday, July 24, 2010
Saturday, July 24, 2010
I had so fun with Maj and Gords in this outfit! We ate eggos, drank Peets coffee, saw The Kids Are Alright, mounged on Upper Crust, and snarfed some cupcakes together. Then I went to work at STA.
Saturday Night
Happy Birthday, Kendall! I sported some new j brands, and a UO satin top to a party. I wore another feet-killing pair of heels, but no matter.

I wanted to get to the bottom of all the anger about Black Lives Matter v. All Lives Matter and so I just asked them to both sit down so we could talk. We met at a Coffee Bean in Beverly Hills.
ME: Good to see both of you. Let's get to it. Why all the drama over which saying is the best?
BLM: It's not which is the best, it's which one is true.
ALM: See what I mean. He's saying all lives don't matter.
ME: I think he's saying neither saying is true.
ALM: That's crazy. Of course All Lives Matter and so do black ones but as a subset of--
BLM: We are not a subset of you. That's your problem, you think everything begins and ends with you and if anyone contests it, you want to kill them.
ALM: Whoa! No one said anything about killing. Calm down now.
ME: He's got a point, we're just talking. Maybe caffeine was not a good idea.
BLM: Why is it that every time black folks do anything, here come white people to make a copy of it, add some sprinkles and then try to say they invented it? We can't have nothing, not our music, our style, our swag and it seems now we can't even have our suffering, you want that, too.
ALM: A lot of black people believe in All Lives Matter, you know.
ME: Yes, I see many of them saying it as a unifying thing.
BLM: They are lost, unable to intellectually understand this simple concept because we, all of us have been conditioned to devalue black lives and weaken self-determination. We say: "Black is beautiful!" You say "Everyone is beautiful!" We say: "Black Power!" You say: "Power to the people!" We say: "We want the funk!" You say: "Play that funky music white boy!" But in every instance, you say nothing until we say it first, only proving that your goal is to steal or undermine our efforts.
ALM: Black people are not the only ones dying. All of us are suffering out there. All Lives Matter is a rallying cry for unity not a negation of your movement.
ME: But it's like when programs are created to help blacks because of historic oppression and then one day it says "minority" and the whole thing is diluted.
ALM: This is useless. Cops kill more white people than black.
BLM: Not per capita and the media should be showing all the deaths by cop not just the black ones. Maybe then white people will not believe that somehow black people are behaving in some strange negro manner to get themselves killed.
ME: We gotta wrap this up, guys.
ALM: He just wants to keep people separate. I want to bring folks together. All Lives Matter wants everyone to be protected against violence and not always have one group out there fighting without benefit to everyone that suffers. How is that wrong?
BLM: Events in real life prove that Black Lives do not matter, so then all lives by definition cannot matter unless you feel that black people are not in possession of humanity that is deserving of love and protection. This is the lie inherent in All Lives Matter. They don't believe it and they are lying so that law enforcement can continue to protect the chosen people. Black Lives Matter is a hopeful statement we want to be true and once it is, All Lives Matter can be said without it sounding fucking stupid.
ME: Well, okay them. See you guys out there

British tabloid staple Peaches Geldof recentlly shared her newfound faith with her Twitter followers, embracing Ordo Templi Orientis, better known as OTO.
The religion is based on Aleister Crowley, a man who dubbed himself "The Great Beast 666" and was fond of sadomasochistic sexual practices and the use of hard drugs.
Turns out a very famous American rap star also has a connection to Crowley, one that might be startling to fans of said star's music and fashion line.
Other celebrities linked to OTO include the rapper Jay-Z, who has repeatedly purloined imagery and quotations from Crowley's work. Whether wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with 'Do what thou wilt' or hiring Rihanna to hold aloft a flaming torch in his music videos (a reference to the Illuminati, an outlawed secret society whose name supposedly derives from Lucifer, or 'light bringer'), he has given the sect priceless publicity. His clothing line, Rocawear, is shot through with OTO imagery such as the 'all seeing eye' in a triangle, the 'eye of Horus' (an ancient Egyptian symbol frequently referenced in occult texts) and the head of Baphomet (the horned, androgynous idol of Western occultism).
OTO membership is private, and there's certainly the chance Jay-Z is tapping its imagery for hipster points without adhering to the religion's philosophies.
Another famed OTO connection is former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who went so far as to buy Crowley's old home.

Cleveland County Schools officials say supporters of a new charter school have been recruiting students from one of their campuses. But organizers at Pinnacle Classical Academy say they don't need to recruit and supporters were acting without the approval of Pinnacle board members.
Cleveland County Schools officials say supporters of a new charter school have been recruiting students from one of their campuses. But organizers at Pinnacle Classical Academy say they don't need to recruit and supporters were acting without the approval of Pinnacle board members.
Pinnacle announced plans Tuesday to hold a student lottery this Friday to pare down 436 applicants for 292 available seats.
A parent in favor of Pinnacle Classical Academy solicited e-mail addresses and handed out fliers during a science fair at Jefferson Elementary School, said Jefferson Elementary Principal Paula Peeler.
�I had some concerns from parents that a representative from Pinnacle was recruiting and causing a distraction on our campus. They felt like it distracted from the children,� Peeler said. �It was also reported to me that she was handing out information in the car rider line when the school staff wasn�t loading children.�
Recruiting on Cleveland County Schools campuses violates the system�s solicitation policy, said Superintendent Bruce Boyles.
�People have to ask for approval before they solicit on our campuses,� Boyles said. �We had no request in this case.�
Pinnacle board member Wes Westmoreland said he was unaware of any recruitment on public school campuses.
�The board has actually had discussions about not recruiting,� Westmoreland said. �We want to allow people to make their own choice.�
Peeler said she contacted the parent who passed out information on campus to inform them of the solicitation policy.
�I asked that they respect the students and the parents at our school and refrain to recruit on our campus,� Peeler said.
Pinnacle, which plans to open in August at the site of the former Hallelujah Acres store on South Post Road, has drawn overwhelming interest from local parents, Westmoreland previously told The Star.
The new charter school plans to open with 308 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Sixteen of those student slots are being reserved for students of school administration and staff, meaning 292 open student seats for the lottery.

Kyle: You need to settle down. Look for a husband, not a play thing. These are all temporary excitement!
Me: Why do I need a boyfriend? I'm happy the way I am.
Kyle: Don't you want someone to go home to? Someone to talk to?
Me: When I need someone to talk to, I have you guys. When I get bored, I party. When I need sex, that's what play things are for!
It is temporary excitement, yes.
But in all honesty, I haven't been this happy (or at least neutral) since I turned single.
Him: What is the common failure in all your relationships?
Me: I don't know. All the guys are different. Different problems, difference situations.
Him: You. You are the common ground in all the relationships. Have you ever considered that?
It is true. As much as I somewhat enjoy being in relationships, it brings out the worst in me. I love and give till it hurts.. and when it hurts, I stray because that is my only outlet of frustration.
It feels suffocating that I have to check in with my partner when I'm out with my buddies. I feel guilty when I arrive home at 6am after a long night of partying. Heck, even dancing with another man makes me guilty. But know what the crappiest part of it is? It gives me the excitement. It's the forbidden fruit syndrome.
Each time I watch a chic flick and tear up on my own, I think to myself, "I think it's time I get a boyfriend". Next thing I know, I'm getting the VIP front seat watching Jenna have a full blown argument with her fiance and grinning to myself, "Ahhh being single is F-ing amazeballs!"
Surely being in a relationship has its perks. Having someone to go home to. Spending the weekend rolling around in the sheets together. Preparing lunch/dinner and indulging it over an episode of Gossip Girl. Saying, "I love you" and hearing it back.
I miss the cuddles and knowing who exactly I'm going to have sex with, instead of being afraid of what my next bad drunken decision might lead me to.
What I definitely do not miss at all is the endless questions of my whereabouts and arguments on why I took that extra tequila shot over the weekend. Nope, definitely don't miss that at all!
I've been in a few long term relationships, two that lasted 4 years each and came to a conclusion that maybe I'm just not fit for a relationship, just as how I ain't fit for a desk job.
I've always avoided being single. I looked at being single as being pathetic. But now that I am single, I'm rather enjoying it to a point where I'm afraid I'd never be in a relationship again.
NOTE: This is the first time I've been single this long since I was 15.
Finding the perfect F-Buddy is just as hard as finding a potential mate. We singles go through numerous one night stands to find THE F-Buddy, just as how we go on countless dates in hopes of meeting THE One.
I know some girls who are like, "F-Buddies are everywhere. All they need to do is F!" But.. butttt.. I need to be attracted to the dude and enjoy the shag, no? At least for me, physical attraction and sexual chemistry is a MUST! I'm picky like that.
My taste in men have evolved to a point of high rarity. I no longer see them often in clubs (I should try the gym next!).
Going on dates are tiresome. To impress and be impressed. I personally see first dates as job interviews and I really do not enjoy being judged for my sexuality and/or intelligence. Clearly there isn't much of the latter. I am shallow and I don't give a flying F if anyone else thinks so. But who is he to judge when what most men want initially is to get into your pants anyway?
One night stands are just as gruesome. Bravo if you found him while you were sober and have that amazing mood and after sex glow post coitus. You know, the one where you're singing and skipping around happily? Double bonus if he was awesome in the sack and could be turned in to a F-Bud. But the walk of shame the next day if your bad drunk decisions switch were turned on is just no where nearly as pleasant.
Isn't it weird how we women always want the unattainable? Married men and the bad boys are way desirable than the nice guys. Nice guys finish last, remember?
Truth be told, I still want to shag my ex F-Bud, Seth (Read about Seth HERE) who is now somewhat in a relationship though is continuously cheating on her. Another great example would be my girlfriend, Christy who is obsessed with her ex-boyfriend whom she dumped.
Her: I'm so tired of F-ing around. It's just F-ing! I want to feel something!
Me: You can get any guy you want babe! You need to teach me. Think I lost my mojo.
Her: Yeah, sure, lessons for another day. Who am I kidding? I can't even get the one guy I want! Maybe you should teach me.
Me: Hahahaha how are we different when I am still wanting my ex F-Buddy!
Women! *rolls eyes* We are so indecisive, aren't we?
I met Christy during a party some 6 months back when we both first turned single. You know that amazing moment when you meet someone new, get along instantly and go all, "I really don't do this often but what is your number? We so need to party together!"
OK, I'm starting to sound like a lesbian, but I definitely love men.
Christy is gorgeous, fun, flirty, smart and if I were a guy, I'd try to get into her pants. A party animal and a lawyer who loves to hunt as much as I do.. What more can I ask for in a friend? Oh there is more, our taste in men do not collide so we know for a fact that we would not be fighting over the same guy. Men are as disposable to her as they are to me. Boy A doesn't work out? It's OK baby, plenty of fishes in the
seaclub. We almost F-ed the same guy? No biggie, there's just not enough men in KL to go around.
So when Christy gets all messed up over an ex after a cocktail of drinks, it made we wonder. What do we women really want? Do we just want a man just because he has now became unreachable, do we want the bad boys because they are so unpredictable and it's hard to make them care? Cause when the bad boys turn soft, that's when we flee, so does that answer my own questions?
But anyways, being single also entitles you to unlimited Girls Night Out. You know, those nights where you have to promise boyfie that you'd behave? Good news is that when you're single, you get to not behave and every night is a Girls Night Out.
No one is going to judge because you are in your own right, single. Maybe there are, but those who matter don't judge and those who judge don't matter!
Flirt, it's fun! Do what ever makes you laugh.
Over the weekend, Christy and I were in the club. We were openly checking out a dude with huge biceps when a guy behind us chatted us up. We looked at him and went, "Do we know you?… Ooohh there's biceps here too!" and started feeling up his arms, chest and abs before we ran off to the dance floor without so much as a good bye or getting his name. I cannot imagine what must have went through his mind. Possibly, "All these work out is really paying off!" or "Man this chicks are weird!".
Girls should thank the Lord we weren't made with a ding dong!
Be selfish. Too tired to party or go to that dreaded wedding of someone you hardly know and have to be there just because you're his partner? No sweat, just stay home because now no one is going to make you do something you do not want to.
Flip through that girlie magazine with a face full of that unflattering mud mask, repaint your nails every 3 days just because it's therapeutic. Read a novel about high school werewolves for all I care! No one will judge.
Go to sleep at 7pm or sleep out your hangovers throughout the weekend because no one is going to try to drag you out of bed. When you do not want to be bothered and decide to silent your phone, you won't end up arguing with your friends just because they can't reach you!
Bottom line, you don't have to take care of anyone else's feelings but your own.
Learn to be alone. I read somewhere some time back, "Learn to love yourself first, then find someone to share the happiness".
VERDICT: There are pros and cons in being single and being in a relationship. What matters most is how you make the most out of every moment. Remember, you only live once!

Schools Volunteer and Deanery Coordinator Paddy Spiller from Leeds recently used CAFOD's Lampedusa Cross in a number of diocesan events. Here she sheds light on her recent experiences:
"The Lampedusa Crosses are made from the wreckage of the boat carrying refugees that foundered off the island of Lampedusa on 3 October 2013 with the loss of 349 lives. On two occasions I have used the Lampedusa Cross which is kept at the CAFOD office in Leeds.
Find out more on the Lampedusa Cross
The first occasion was at St Joseph's school in Barnoldswick. With the top two classes, in the school hall, I lead a workshop on refugees. I had hoped that afterwards there might be time to do the Lampedusa Cross pilgrimage, but it was not to be. However, I did spend a couple of minutes walking around the hall, in among the groups of young people, talking about the cross. Following the workshop the significance of the cross was evident to them.
The second occasion was at the Knights of St Columba Youth Seminar which was held at Leeds Trinity University recently. Having started with a short discussion using the "Refugee Statistics Icebreaker" information, we made our pilgrimage around the chapel, an ideal space for this pilgrimage as it is spacious and fairly round, including a sizeable area of open floor space which easily accommodated my shower curtain map with about thirty people standing around it. All the people present wrote a message to the refugees.
Buy CAFOD Lampedusa Cards here
Next month, one evening after Mass, I am leading the pilgrimage in my own parish. I might have to put the map on PowerPoint, so that everyone can see it as I think the shower curtain might take up too much space, unless we move some chairs……? I've got a month to work that one out!"
If you or your parish would like to use the Lampedusa Cross or organise a pilgrimage, please ring Joanne Taylor on 0113 275 9302.

I love Japan. There is so much beauty there.ReplyDelete
I haven't spent much time there, just five days in Tokyo a few years ago to see my friend, who was performing for 3 months at the Park Hyatt's NY Bar, but, at that time, I got to meet ten forensic colleagues - doctors and nurses who were hoping to set up services for sexual assault victims in your country. A few months later, four of them came to San Francisco and I took a week off to show them around and to introduce them to all such programs in our area. I was so honored when they, then, invited me back to Japan - all expenses paid - to teach on child forensic interviewing at four sites in Japan! I was in Tokyo, Shiga, Kyoto and Akita. Akita was so lovely. We spent three days there and my dear friends took me to Kakunodate to see a Japanese Sumurai Village and to beautiful Lake Tazawa. Also, in Akita, I had some of the most wonderful sake!

One of the hottest issues among flight attendants these days is something called the ``B scale,`` a new and lower schedule of pay that some airlines now apply to new employees. In some cases the newly hired make 25 percent less than the old starting wage.
Newcomers at major airlines begin at about $15,000 a year in base pay and make perhaps another $3,000 in expense money. Veteran flight attendants, by contrast, earn a total of about $40,000 or $45,000 annually after 13 or 14 years of service.

I would like to ask our lawmakers to have courage when it comes to the gun debate. Courage is a difficult thing at times, especially in times of heated emotional debate. I hope that our legislators will have courage to reject both the NRA's call to do nothing and Gov. Martin O'Malley's call to infringe on law abiding gun owners' rights. I hope that they will have the courage to look at the all of the data and make a decision based on that. It takes courage to look at data that might prove your ideas wrong, and it takes a lot of courage to admit you were wrong.
What's more, I ask our lawmakers show courage beyond measure and address the root causes of violence. It takes a lot of courage to address issues like a failing mental health system, systemic and multi-generational poverty cycles, a war on drugs that has turned good people into criminals, the plague of gang violence, broken homes, children raising children, a culture that vilifies those who stand up for themselves and where smart people get beat up and bullies run free. These issues run deep, and the answers aren't easy, but things that require courage are never easy. Addressing these problems will reduce violence.
If legislators fail to show courage, we lose. We will have no defense against criminals who will continue to own guns. Just look at England. Show courage!
Greg Primrose, Towson

Web Directions South 09 Resources – many more now online
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Guy in preparing all the pages and producing all the podcasts, we now have a whole raft of the presentations from WDS09 now available online, so, if you're looking to catch something you missed because you you went to another track, or you couldn't make it to Web Directions at all this year, check the listing below.
Many of the speakers have even gone to the trouble of synching the audio with the slides, so it really is a lot like being there on the day: enjoy!
There's some great content here – we'd love it if you could help us spread the word about these resources in particular to people who couldn't be there on the day, by blogging about them twittering, or just emailing the link around to all your colleagues.
- Matt Webb – Escalante (podcast only, slides to come)
- Cameron Adams – Making Waves
- Kelly Goto – WorkFLOW
Design track
- Pete Ottery – Designing for Suits
- Donna Spencer – Information Seeking Behaviours
- Christian Crumlish – Designing Social Interfaces
- Jeremy Yuille – The Social Life of Visualisation
- Grant Robinson – Visualising the User Experience
- Luke Stevens – Data Driven Design
Development track
- Ben Galbraith – The State of Developer Tools
- Elliot Jay Stocks – Progressive Enhancement
- Mark Stanton – Best Practices for Speeding up Your Site
- Rob Mitchell & Mike Williams – Test your JavaScript
Business track
- Lachlan Hardy – The Open Web
- Cheryl Gledhill and Scott Gledhill – Beyond SEO
- Suze Ingram – Would You Like Service Design With That?
- Andrew Fisher – Cloud Computing
We also have video from the W3C track, which we'll be making available soon.
10 responses to "Web Directions South 09 Resources – many more now online":
[…] are some Podcasts up on the Web Directions site from a few of the major speakers, but without the video I think some of them will loose their […]
How about transcripts that you were promising me? They are also part of W3C's Priority 1 requirements for web accessibility and many countries' disability laws. Thanks.
Thanks for all the huge amount of work putting all the resources up here that you have done so far. Very cool. However Does your mention of "video coming soon" for the w3c track, mean that there will be no audio podcasts from that track at all? Thanks.
Also wondering if their are more resources from the development track yet to come? looking specificly for one presented by a woman from melbourne whose name unfortunately escapes me for the moment, on Web Accessibility Guidelines 1.0/2.0 compliance, at either the 10:45 or 11:45 session Fri morning?
Hey Geoff,
While we'd like to provide audio for all the tracks, there were some technical difficulties around recording the W3C track, so it's unlikely that we'll get audio for them.
As for the WCAG presentation, Gian Wild (that's the presenter) hasn't got back to us with permission to publish her talk; if she does, we'll get it up ASAP, but for now there's not much I can do.
Dear Guy Leech,
Since Geoff Champan asked for Gian Wild's presentation about web accessibility guidelines, I wonder if it would come with a transcript also for those who have no access to audio content?
A text is actually accessible and usable for more users than an audio file. A transcript can be easily skimmed for a few minutes while it takes hours to listen to numerous podcasts.
I'm afraid Gian Wild's session didn't come with a transcript, though Matt Webb just released the slides and a transcript of his keynote.
Thanks for pointing out, Guy Leech. But just one transcript? Gian Wild's presentation does not even have a link to the transcript.
To Maxine:
– "Many of the speakers have even gone to the trouble of synching the audio with the slides, so it really is a lot like being there on the day: enjoy!"
Maybe they should have spent more time on getting a transcript instead so that people like myself can enjoy it, too?
– "There's some great content here – we'd love it if you could help us spread the word about these resources in particular to people who couldn't be there on the day, by blogging about them twittering, or just emailing the link around to all your colleagues."
How about helping those who cannot access to "great content"?
To Maxine:
P.S. If speakers spent more time on transcripts, it would be not only accessible to more people like myself, but more usable for everyone to let those who prefer to skim text instead of listening to hour-long podcasts.
There is an excellent blog by Jeremy Keith about transcripts:
He made several points:
– "It does cost money, but then so does bandwidth. Bandwidth is often covered by sponsorship or a PayPal tip jar, so why not transcriptions?"
– "By providing a transcription, you'll also be providing a spiderable resource than can be easily scanned, quoted, cut and pasted. And you'll get lots of whuffie."

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add chopped, cooked artichoke hearts and lump crabmeat. Stir well and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Pour into an oven proof dish (a large ramekin works well) and bake dip for 10 to 12 minutes until heated through and top is nice and bubbly. Serve with Croutons and garnish with parsley sprigs and Parmesan.
Trim artichokes down to their hearts, working quickly so they don't go too brown (you can rub with lemon juice as you go if you like). Split hearts in half lengthwise and drizzle with a little olive oil and season with some salt and pepper. Place into a microwave-steamer bag and cook for 2 to 3 minutes in your microwave (time may vary depending on your microwave). When done allow to sit in the bag for 1 minute then remove and roughly chop. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut baguette on a slight bias and lay out on a sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
