Dr. Leonard John Faye
D.C., F.R.C.C.S.S.(Can.)Hon., FICC
For more than 45 years, Dr. Leonard John Faye has led the transformation from the static listing based phase of chiropractic development to the dynamic, functional paradigm.
The author of hundreds of published articles, chapters and the book Good Bye Back Pain! (BookSurge Publishing), Dr. Faye has organized technique chaos into a biomechanical model. In addition to his published writing, Dr. Faye has also presented more than 400 seminars all over the world and delivered lectures to undergraduate and postgraduate students since 1967.
While an active chiropractor, speaker and publisher, his most influential work could be the 10-video series, the new DVD set Vol: 1 and 2 Complete Full Spine and Extremity Adjusting Course. In this six-hour DVD series, Dr. Faye explains and demonstrates with two cameras focusing in and out, exactly how to make rational, diversified spinal and extremity joint manipulations.
Dr. Faye has become a world-renowned pioneer to the practice of chiropractic. After graduating from CMCC in 1960, he practiced in England for 15 years, Canada for 11 years and has been practicing in the United States for almost 25 years.
Dr. Faye lives and practices in Los Angeles, CA.
I urge you to invest in this chiropractic continuing education DVD series; for so little and no lost weekend time, you will be able to do so much more for your patients.
We learn adjusting skills by mimicking a master and practicing what we are not skilled at performing. The workbook (free download here) lets you identify what you need to develop. The DVD Index lets you go direct to those specific, two camera demonstrations, easily.
You will be like hundreds of others who over the years have sent me letters and emails about their wonderful, stress free practices and life style. Providing quality care to many more patients because of your understanding of the "Cervical Syndrome" will see to that.
Treatment "Gems" and patient conversations are discussed and result in your patients understanding why they need a series of treatment to allow the S.A.I.D Principle to work. Great compliance to your recommendations are the result.
Mastering the specific adjustments to reduce the sympathetic nerve facilitation will broaden your scope of practice and having you practicing Chiropractic like it was supposed to be practiced. The only difference is that you will be making rational decisions and not relying on the "It Works" belief system. Patient responses become predictable.
Dr. Faye's DVD set will fill ALL gaps. I got skill acquisition, practice expansion and overall satisfaction.
It isn't just a "How to" but answers the "when, where, why and how often" to treat acute and chronic conditions.
— Anonymous
By imbibing the material gradually, I am improving bit by bit for a big change in my adjusting skills.

Essential studies that made me a very successful doctor. No sales pitches, you and the patient will know you know.
— Anonymous
Dr. Faye's DVD set is the best investment I ever made in building a very successful practice.
These DVDs are fantastic value. The information is invaluable. 27 new patients a month after 4 years in practice.
Dr. Faye's DVD set has changed my practice life. I understand the possibilities and see the realities in my patients especially when I uncover some hidden ills[LF1] and alleviated problems the patients failed to mention.
All sales final. Free shipping anywhere in the world.
We guarantee all videos will play without any glitches or be replaced free.

This section presents some general concepts about generating a thrust and some clinical considerations. The presentations are divided into specific palpations, and Dr. Faye demonstrates each manipulation and repeats them with the patient supine, prone and seated.
This segment covers the mid and lower cervical regions of the cervical spine. The introduction gives a brief clinical vignette, while each segment presents a specific palpation and three different manipulations to increase the movement of the restrictions found.
In this section, Dr. Faye covers the thoracic spine and demonstrates many palpation skills that are uncommon in most offices. The thoracic spine is a major concern in most cervical and shoulder joint conditions. The thoracic spine is often overlooked as a major concern in most cervical and shoulder joint conditions including "whiplash" sprains.
There is much more to the lumbar spine than the "lumbar roll". In the introduction and each section of this DVD, Dr. Faye demonstrates how to palpate all the ranges of motion and the specific adjustments needed to restore normal lumbar function.
This section is critical if a patient has the need for TMJ manipulation or is suffering from Intercostal Neuralgia. The section on babies is quite basic but completes the series.
The motion palpation of the foot and ankle is the best place to learn our "impulse" thrust and feel the joint play movements first described by Dr. Mennell. Watch the introduction as well as the many specific palpations and manipulations.
The knee and hip palpations and manipulations will become a significant part of your practice. The hip dysfunctions cause many low back conditions and knee pains that are a common complaint. However, most often they do not require surgical intervention.
The hand, wrist and elbow section is an effective tool to learn the "impulse" thrust and joint play movements. Since people use their hands so much, these "fixations" or dysfunctions are very common. Dr. Faye demonstrates examination procedures that will amaze patients who won't even mention these problems until you examine them.
The "shoulder girdle" is the key to getting great results with non-surgical shoulder conditions and post-operative recoveries. Dr. Faye shows you how to check all the palpations demonstrated and the manipulations they indicate, as well as the upper thoracic anterior glide and lower cervical sympathetic ganglion chain facilitation.
The pelvis introduction reviews the lumbopelvic biomechanics as described by doctors Fred Illi and Henri Gillet after observing motion x-ray studies in the late 50's. Dr. Faye adds the more modern concepts, and demonstrates in each section the sacroiliac manipulations indicated by the examination procedures.

Shocking: Pawan Kalyan's Sardar first look copied from Hollywood movie?
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's first look poster, which was released on August 15th on the eve of Independence Day received huge response from the audiences and it went viral on the social media within few hours of its release.
This might be shocking news for all Pawan Kalyan's fans. Yes! The first look poster of Pawan Kalyan's Sardar movie resembles like Hollywood movie poster 'Resident Evil: Extinction movie.
In Sardar first look, Pawan Kalyan was seen in a cop avatar holding two guns whereas in Hollywood movie poster, actress was seen holding two guns in same pose. It seems that the makers of Sardar inspired from this movie poster.
The shooting of this movie is progressing at a jet speed. Actress Samantha is likely to play the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan in this movie.

Summary:Seven years after the tragic death of her brother Donnie, Samantha Darko is still mourning him and the loss of the loving family that fell apart after he died. Her home life in shambles, 18-year-old Sam impulsively decides to join her rebellious best friend Corey on a cross-country drive from Virginia to California in the hope of becoming a professional dancer.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I was waiting for this movie to out and finally managed to watch it! Where do I start...it was weird...and creepy (like Donnie Darkro) I have to admit I wasn't expecting the movie to be great cuz I think the sequel can't be as good as the first one. I thought they tried way too hard to make it weird and mysterious as Donnie Darko but it was a good movie. So simple is that. I liked it. Aaaand Ed Westwick was so hot! I loved him! I thought he wouldn't be that kind of actor who can act totally different in his roles (I'm just so used to his character in Gossip Girl) but he wasn't "Chuck", still his role was the one of a badass but he was different. James Lafferty did ok I guess, he was pretty creepy. After 10 Minutes I started wondering how I know Samatha's best friend, the actress was familiar, the look, the rusty voice and then I got it! She played the chick in Step Up 2 (which sucked so bad) and then the woman - think she was the wife of this Jesus guy - looked familiar too, I couldn't place her first. Good thing I'm a smart girl :D I figured it's "Jessie" from Saved By The Bell! Also loved Jackson, he played this geek who was into Sam. Really like this actor! So go check out the movie, it's a nice watch.

Skoda Kodiaq images appear online, launch in India during 2017
With SUV Kodiaq Czech car maker Skoda will debut in the segment which till now has not witnessed any initiative by the company. Recently some of its images were rendered online by the company giving a glimpse of its exteriors. From images at first instance Kodiaq gives an impression of Audi Q7 and Range Rover Evoque. In global market SUV will be launched sometimes during the later months of this year, while in Indian car market it is expected to debut during the first month of January 2017.
Developed on MQB platform out sourced from Volkswagen which also already exists in Superb and Octavia, the India bound version of Kodiaq will be offered in both petrol and diesel disguises. Both the variants will be empowered with 2.0 litre engines respectively and mated with six speed manual and also with DSG automatic gearbox.
On the exterior front Skoda Kodiaq adorns muscular body along with aggressive front grille. It also adorn features like sweptback headlamps, roof rails, new set of alloy wheels, LED tail lights continuing conventional "C" design followed by the car maker. The side profile carries most of its looks similar to Range Rover Evoque. After launch it will be placed above Yeti and will compete against Santa Fe from Hyundai, Nissan X-Trail and upcoming Tiguan from Volkswagen.

Oh, hai. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays. I'm stoked, because we get two weekends this week. Mom had yesterday and today off, so we got to get some good snuggles in. And yesterday, little c™ helped mom unload the Christmas groceries, in hopes there was tuna to be had.
There was!
We also listened to Neil Gaiman read A Christmas Carol yesterday. Well, I listened to part of it. Little c™ kept hissing at Scrooge, so mom had to listen to the rest of the broadcast on her headphones.
In case you'd like to listen to the entire NYPL broadcast, here's the link. Just don't play it when c™ is around, or the hisses will overpower the reading.
We all listened to Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory this morning. As you may recall, c™ and I are big fans of Uncle Truman, so it was a real treat to listen to him read this holiday classic. I fell asleep purring on mom's chest, while c™ dozed off on his leopard print binky.
In case you want to listen to Capote read his holiday story, we're sharing the link, which, I'm happy to report, is safe to play when c™ is around.
As you can imagine, we were excited about Santa's arrival this week. Little c™ made a self-portrait, so Santa could find him easier.
And I made a pic of Santa, so he would know I was thinking of him.
I'm happy to report our efforts paid off. We got some cool toys and yummy eats this year.
He even left a Christmas flower on the window sill for mom.
And Mama J™ says we shouldn't close without giving our thanks to the baby Cheez-its, the real reason behind this whole 2-weekend week.

Ken Yeang, Architect, UNITED KINGDOM – MALAYSIA
Dr. Ken Yeang is the world's leading architect in ecological and passive low energy design. He has delivered over 200 built projects and his 'bioclimatic' towers have had an impact around the world, fusing high-tech and organic principles. Born in Penang, Malaysia in 1948, Yeang was educated there, as well as in the U.S. and the UK, receiving his doctorate in Architecture from Cambridge University, and attending graduate courses at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. His expertise in the field of green design originated from his early doctoral dissertation from Cambridge University (1971-1974) followed by his ongoing R&D work, which has since led to the publication of a number of his treatises on the topic of ecological design and planning, bioclimatic design and high-rise design. He is best known as the inventor of the Bioclimatic skyscraper (as a genre of low-energy skyscrapers based on bioclimatic design principles), and for his novel ideas on designing the high-rise building type as vertical urban design.

With no Indian orders, BAE Systems starts shutdown of M777 gun factory
9 comments:
- Bhagya$hree said...
MOD - Ministry of Defence ..means Ministry of Delay ..
After reading many articles ,newspapers it seems like these are Devils and root cause of all issues..
BYW we always prefer buying at higher price ..not sure why govr MOD takes certain decisions ( in way no decisions ).? Der hi Andher hai..
- 18 October 2013 at 08:46
- Parthasarathi said...
Now India should buy the production line instead of the gun. It makes sense. Few years back France had offer us the Mirage 2000 production line as it was getting closed. India refused and we are still repenting. Or we can allow some other Indian private firm to buy it with a confirm order of Indian army.
- 18 October 2013 at 11:51
Some aspects needs to be discussed..
1. BAE Systems may have supplied 1000s of the guns but if there are no more current orders and if the production line was totally dependent on a future Indian order, was it not a risk that we were going to take alongwith providing employment in a foreign country and no technological benefits to our own indigenous, if any, defence production capability.
2. We are willing to let go of an oppourtunity to get hold of a good gun system now to buy something of the same in the future at an escalted cost. This seems to be the fallout of the mulitiple 'scams' which the current government is facing with the rsult that they are in slow-go mode so that no further allegations can be brought against them. No matter what happens to our defence preparedness! And then our Chiefs will have to give a statement that the Indian Armed Forces will give a good account with whatever we have. Sad to say the least.
3. Thirdly, the Tata's had showcased an artillery piece. After they had shown one piece, there has been no further information in this regard.
4. Lastly, if the procuction line is going to be shut down then instead of just going for the guns can't we go in for the purchase of the complete production line. It might be costly but it has been done in the past specifically by China.
- 18 October 2013 at 12:54
Now I am convinced that our MoD and Armed Forces have become utterly incompetent at everything they do.
We have now lost the capability to see a contract through to fruition, even simply buying a weapon from abroad.
- 18 October 2013 at 16:46
- Hari Sud (M.S., B. Sc., P Eng.) said...
Is it a real shutdown or a pressure tactic to speed up Indian officials and the present minister of defence who is slow to act?
Our defence minister is listening to all complaints which mostly are false in case of government to government contracts, but he is listening.
BAE system got tired of waiting and decided to put pressure on the Indians by threatening to close the assembly down.
I have suggestion, - relocate the closed down plant to India, since the Americans/British do not need it. Then India is self sufficient in artillery production.
Army brass are acting like spoiled babus. They do not wish 39 caliber system. They rather have 45 caliber or 52 caliber stuff or none at all. Very strange thinking for an army which is short artillery.
- 18 October 2013 at 19:13
It is a hopeless situation all round. With this rate of wespon procurement and state of preparedness India might as well cede territory and also erase such words "future superpower" and "blue water navy" from our vocabulary.

sorry for being a naïve civilian, but cant we just buy the Singapore alternative. it can also set a precedent with buying weopens from tainted companies after imposing a severe monetary fine & in exchange of support in ongoing corruption investigations rather than putting an blanket ban on buying any product from that company if that product is found to be vital to be procured in national interest

I have seen many nations who are great economy / military powers. They all have strict policies of Producing indegenous and Use by military.
Once Russian Chief of Exports said the same : Indians can Never be Economic / Military power till they import. let ur soldiers fight with sticks, stones, revolvers.. but make them fight with home made things.... u will see in 3 - 10 years u will have best technology and production line in ur place....
I also feel that its this thing that is required.

BERLIN (AP) — President Barack Obama will visit Berlin next month for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel on his first visit to the German capital since taking office, her spokesman said Friday.
The visit comes a few days before the 50th anniversary on June 26 of President John F. Kennedy's 1963 visit to Berlin, then a symbol of Europe's Cold War division, where he famously said: "as a free man, I take pride in the words, 'Ich bin ein Berliner.' "
Obama will be in Berlin June 18-19, said Georg Streiter, a spokesman for Merkel. Details of the visit have yet to be worked out, Streiter said, but Merkel is looking forward to talks on "a wide spectrum of bilateral and global questions."
Obama will be traveling in Europe following a G-8 summit in Northern Ireland on June 17-18, a meeting that reunites the leaders of the world's major Western industrialized nations.
The visit to Berlin will be Obama's first official trip to the German capital since he took office in 2009. However, he did meet Merkel in Germany twice in his first year as president — first visiting the southwestern town of Baden-Baden as part of a trip to a NATO summit, then visiting the eastern city of Dresden and the former Buchenwald concentration camp.
Obama made a major campaign speech in Berlin before his 2008 election which drew a crowd of more than 200,000. At the time, Merkel refused to let Obama — then the Democratic presidential candidate — speak in front of the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of Germany's division and later reunification, saying only sitting presidents were granted such an honor. He spoke at a nearby monument instead.
When Obama presented Merkel with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011, she hinted it might be different next time, saying: "I can promise that the Brandenburg Gate will be standing for some more time." Merkel, who grew up in communist East Germany, also addressed Congress in Washington in 2009.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has led the response to Europe's debt crisis, but its austerity-heavy approach has drawn criticism abroad. Washington has been a leading advocate of doing more to boost global demand.
Obama's visit will come ahead of German parliamentary elections on Sept. 22 in which the conservative Merkel will seek a third four-year term.

One of the least used tools in my shop is the radial arm saw and to be truthful it was taking up valuable floor space. More than once I have considered getting rid of it but a buddy of mine gave it to me (probably to get it out of his way…lol) so I hated to go that far. A few weeks back I got the idea to mount it on a mobile base so I could simply move it to the back of the basement when I wasnt using it. I built it out of some salvaged 2×4's and 2×6's. A set of 3" casters off a 8 dollar HF furniture dolly and it was good to go. It is very stable and a set of shop made wheel chocks keep it in place. Well my buddy who runs the bandsaw mill called yesterday and told me he had some oak and pine 2×8 culls for me. What he didnt tell me was that they were 16 feet long…lol Well did bring a pretty good stack of 2×8 pine cut-offs home with me…never met a piece of lumber I didnt like, especially when its free lumber. Gotta borrow my dad-n-laws trailer and go back soon. Anyhow, I have been planning on building a mobile cut-off cart for a while now but just have not gotten around to it. Was looking at the pile of cut-offs and it dawned on me that I had a whole bunch of wasted space under the RAS. I decided to use some of it to put a shelf under there to put some of the crates of various scrap pieces I have sitting all over the shop. Worked out well and helped clear up some more floor space. Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for saving cut-offs? At what point should I say its not worth it and start tossing them?

Good thinking with the mobile base. Looks good. That's the only way to go. As far as what to keep is entirely on what you build and what you may use or need. If you have the room keep them all.

Buster, I have mine on a mobile base as well and although I don't use mine a lot, I use it enough to make it worth keeping. As far as when to dump scrap, you are asking the wrong person LOL. However, I do have several Christmas projects that will whittle the pile down some.

Jim- Have a wobble blade that i got to use on the old Craftsman table saw i used to have because the arbor was too short to take a stacked blade set. That thing scared the dog slobber outta me…found it easier and less stressful to cut dados with the router.

Gave him my old TS and the crosscut and miter sleds that I built for it…well shall see if this seed sprouts…lol

Looks like a nice saw, I've got one just like it, still use it too.
I put thin kerf blades on it and saw a significant power boost.
Good job of designing and building the mobile base too.
If you decide to get rid of this saw make sure you get at least $100 for it, there is a standing recall to remove these saws from use. The manufacturer will pay $100 for you to ship the motor, (pre-paid shipping), back or they will send you a new particle board top and new safety guards. I think you have to sign a waiver.
Good luck, I think I still have the factory manual in "pdf" format if you need a copy. Give me a shout it you need it.

Re disposition of scraps.
40 years ago I read a tip in Popular Mechanics that suggested putting a box under your saw, fill it up, then burn it! Start another box! Easy-peasy.
Anyone care to take a few boxes of scraps out of my shop?
See, I was able to to do the first two steps, but the burning of the box of scraps was impossible. I've got a 0.7 bd/ft scrap of walnut that I know I will use someday. Really! Honest!

Hello ,
I was trying to upgrade the firmware of my iphone 3GS to ios 5.0.1.
I used a custom firmware prepared with redsnow. I used shift+restore and selected the custom firmware. itunes completed the restore process and said the device will be restarted but it didn't. It is still in the DFU mode and stuck in it.
If someone has an idea about the solution please share it.
Maybe tinyUmbrella can help, use it with your responsibility
1. Hold down the Sleep button and Home button at the same time.
2. After a few seconds the Apple logo appears and the iPhone will boot.
thanks this worked!
but my fone went to recovery mode

Crowds Gather to Watch Turtle Nest Excavations
Contact: Cyndy Holda, 252-473-2111 x148
On a hot, late summer evening with quiet ocean waves lapping on the beach, crowds of national seashore visitors gather to watch the excavation of a sea turtle nest in Cape Hatteras National Seashore, as National Park Service biological technicians perform an important part of their duties.
The seashore has experienced a record number of 151 nests to date for the 2010 season. At least 72 hours after a sea turtle nest has naturally hatched, the nest cavity is examined or "excavated" by park staff to count eggshells and determine the hatch and emergence rates for the nest. A nest excavation begins with park staff carefully removing sand from the nest cavity to examine eggshell fragments and any remaining unhatched eggs. Eggshells and eggs are counted and unhatched eggs are checked for stage of development and fertility. Sometimes the staff will find live hatchling(s) that have not made it out of the nest cavity and will release the hatchling(s) into the ocean at least one hour after dusk. From this examination, the hatch success for the nest can be determined and the information is added to the turtle nesting databases for the seashore and the State of North Carolina.
In addition to the information gained, excavations provide park staff a chance to learn the result of their many hours of effort to monitor and protect these nest sites, and also provides an opportunity for park visitors to observe the process and share the experience.
Interested persons should check the bulletin boards or contact the Ocracoke Visitor Center (252-928-4531) or Buxton Visitor Center (252-995-4474) to check the date for the next nest excavation (if available) at a nearby seashore location or call 252-995-6968 during normal business hours.

Costco Really Loves Your Mom, Buys Her A Coffee Machine For Mother's Day
Joshua received such stunningly good customer service while shopping for a Mother's Day gift at Costco that he had to share his story with Consumerist. He writes that he located a store that had the specific coffee machine that he wanted in stock, called the store to verify, and drove some distance to the store to pick it up. When he arrived, he learned that the store didn't have the machine in stock after all…but it's what happened next that makes this a true "Above and Beyond" story.
I was in search of a single cup coffee maker for a Mother's Day gift. I had done research and decided on a Keurig model. I found it at Costco for $139 which was about $40 less than anywhere else. Unfortunately when I went to buy it they were sold out everywhere. I tried four stores with the same result. I called the last Costco within a reasonable driving distance. They told me they had 6 left. I told them to hold one for me and I would pick it up in the evening. When I arrived the floor manger said to wait while she went to another mangers office. She came back with the coffee maker in hand. She then told me they were wrong about the 6 they said they had in stock. She said they were sold out so they went to another store and bought it for me! Then to my amazement she said I could have it for no charge! I was literally speechless. This is by far the best customer service I have ever received.
I have always enjoyed Costco but now I love it! Costco saved Mothers's Day!
Costco is just being too amazing to our readers for its own good lately. Can I trade my local BJ's store for one, please?

According to Peterson there are three main drivers for the rising values: strong farm income, high prices of new farm equipment, and tighter availability of new and used equipment. There are several examples of how the trend has carried over from the end of 2011 and carrying into 2012, including: a big jump in used planter values, a big jump in combine values and continued strength for used tractor values.

A couple hours ago I posted a quick poll, in what might be construed as an unbiased fashion. I simply asked respondents for their sexual orientation, offering a wide array of choices ranging from "straight" to "mostly gay" to "gay" to "other."
In fact, my poll was biased — not because the question itself was slanted, but because of the way respondents were recruited: I titled the post "Are you homosexual?" Potential respondents who are homosexual or who don't have traditional sexual preferences are more likely to be interested in the question, and therefore more likely to respond. How do I know this biased the sample? Because I collected similar data last week in the Casual Fridays survey about romantic gifts. In that survey, women reported same-gender partners 5.7 percent of the time, and men reported same-gender partners 3.7 percent of the time.
I posted the poll because I had seen a similar poll on Twitter: Bruce Wagner asked "How Gay is Twitter?" and linked to his own poll. I suggested Bruce's selection of responses would be biased, and he challenged me to prove it. Here's the evidence:
As you can see, in both the Cognitive Daily poll and the Twitter poll, significantly more respondents claimed to be homosexual ("mostly gay" or "gay") compared to the Casual Friday survey. It all comes down to sample bias. It's the same reason that Alfred Kinsey reported that ten percent of Americans were homosexual when other studies consistently find about a five percent homosexuality rate. He recruited respondents for a study on sexual behavior, which biased his sample.
So why did Bruce find an even higher proportion of homosexual responses than we did here? It could be that there are more gay people on Twitter, but I suspect it has more to do with Twitter culture. People on Twitter like to stay on Twitter. His poll requires respondents to click on a link to get to the poll, so only the most motivated respondents replied. By contrast, Cognitive Daily readers didn't have to leave their comfort zone to respond. Even so, we still had significantly more responses of "gay" or "mostly gay" than in our Casual Friday study which mentioned nothing about sexual preference in the recruitment post — thus demonstrating that selection bias can be found even in seemingly innocuous polls.

Busy as always, the girls have visited 56 Wawas in the last two weeks! They are now over 70% complete and have upped their average receipt to over $3!
They only have 172 Wawas left to visit, and with 2 years remaining it seems like a very achievable goal.
Congratulations to Mary for breaking the 100 Wawas visited mark! Way to go, Mary!!!
Em is just 7 short of 100 and I'm sure she'll be passing that plateau very shortly. C'mon, Em!
Great work, girls!!

Question: When you visit a Wawa you've never been to before, do you explain your quest to them, or do you just get your receipt and slink away?
- January 5, 2008 at 7:30 PM
Basically we just get our receipt and slink away. We are more time efficient that way (and we also feel more "normal" by not drawing attention to ourselves.)

What a great adventure!!!! I'm inspired by WaWa as well. My partner, Steve, and I are compiling WaWa Haiku's, and hopefully publishing them.
We've posted on craigslist and emailed all our frieds/coworkers for contribution.
So far we're at about 150, and would love if you'd contribute. Anything about WaWa, your experiences, fav foods, or just admiring the building overall.
Post them there and include your name for credit!!!!

Well, Ma Bell can finally rest in peace. Despite this age of texting and emailing, some people still find value in the old telephone. So much so, that someone paid more than $100,000 this week for a phone book!
On Tuesday, a private U.S. collector paid $170,500 to win a Christie's auction for the first phone book printed for New Haven, Conn. The New York auction house had expected it to go for $30,000-$40,000.
Why is it so valuable?
The book was published by the Connecticut District Telephone Co. just two years after the telephone was invented. So essentially it is one of the earliest possible telephone books in the country. What a neat little piece of history!

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Ever play Cut Leaderboard? That's the game where you take the top ten scorers after two rounds of a major championship and compare them to the top ten "losers" — i.e., those players who finish just below the cut line. As often as not, the two lists look as if they were generated at random. The real leaderboard will have seven journeyman pros, a career amateur from Kotzabue, Alaska, an Asian Tour refugee playing on a sponsor's exemption … and Phil Mickelson. The cut leader board will have seven journeyman pros, a high school senior from Peculiar, Mo., a former PGA Tour commissioner … and Vijay Singh.
I started playing Cut Leaderboard in my head Friday afternoon while watching Natalie Gulbis finish her round – and her week – at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the first major of the LPGA season. Gulbis was in the fairway of the par-5 ninth hole (her eighteenth) with a wedge in her hand, and I expected her to stick one inside the shadow of the flagstick. Instead she launched a shot so high that I thought she might run up the fairway and catch it in her skirt. (Although, now that I think about it, her skirt was too tight to catch anything but stares.) Gulbis's ball landed short of the green and rolled back down the bank, prompting her to poke her club into the turf and stomp around in disgust.
And no wonder: Natalie was already 12-over for the tournament.
So bye-bye to the two-time Solheim Cup star, who has her own line of swimsuit calendars, a half-hour reality show on the Golf Channel, and enough glamour/game to be the current cover girl of Golf for Women.
A couple of hours later, when the shadows were starting to lengthen on the course, I strolled out to watch world No. 1 Annika Sorenstam crash and burn. She was 5-over. Then she was 6-over, after three-putting at sixteen. Oops, make that 7-over — Annika lipped out another short one at seventeen. "Poor thing," a woman in the gallery whispered. "She probably can't wait to get out of here."
The lady was probably right, but the Dinah Shore course is playing so fast and hard that 8-over was good enough to slip by the weekend gatekeeper. So Annika is in and Natalie, at 13-over, is out — so far out that she's dropped off the Cut Leader Board.
Anyway, here are the two lists at the halfway point of the Kraft Nabisco:
Real leaders: T1 Lorena Ochoa and Paula Creamer; T3 Suzann Pettersen and Shi Hyun Ahn; 5 Se Ri Pak; T6 Brittany Lincicome, Catriona Matthew, Lindsey Wright and Maria Hjorth; T10 Brittany Lang, Stacy Lewis and Meagan Francella.
Cut leaders (+9 and higher): T1 Esther Choe, Reilly Rankin, Nicole Perrot, Hee-Won Han, Taylor Leon, and Wendy Doolan; T7 Mi Il Chung, Amy Hung, Kimberly Kim, Seon-Hwa Lee and Birdie Kim.
At first glance, the real leaderboard looks like … well, like the real leaderboard. Ochoa, last year's LPGA player of the year, is coming off a victory at the Safeway International and is on the verge of replacing Sorenstam at the top of the world ranking. Creamer, in her third season, is a Solheim Cup veteran who already has three wins under her pink bow. Petterson, a raucous Norwegian – (oxymoron alert!) – pushed Ochoa to the limit last week in Arizona.
The "loser list," let's be honest, reads like the flight manifest for a United Nations relief mission.
But look closer. Only one player on the real leaderboard, Se Ri Pak, has won a major championship. The cut leader board, too, has a major champion — Birdie Kim, winner of the 2005 U.S. Women's Open — and a little farther down the cut list you have the 2003 U.S. Women's Open champ (Hilary Lunke), the 2003 Kraft Nabisco champ (Patricia Meunier-Lebouc), and the sixth-place finisher in last year's Women's British Open (Lori Kane). If Sorenstam had swallowed her pride and chunked another chip or two, the cut team would be a genuine threat to beat the real leaders in a Solheim-style shootout.
That won't happen, but here's my suggestion for future Kraft Nabisco Championships: Let the cut leaders jump in the pond at eighteen before they run off to catch their flights.
It'll be good practice for those who come back some day and win.

"it wrinkled, and was gone."
I thought I'd been foiled again, but I took this picture anyway, aiming the camera back in the shadows. Surprisingly, the photo turned out okay. You can see the deep indigo blue of its back end coiled up by the lighter face with the little whisker-like marks radiating out from the eye. I love these creatures and think they are among the most beautiful in the yard. I've seen pictures of them eating rattlesnakes, and I'm always ready to tell that to people who declare they hate snakes and have guns to kill them with (unfortunately I've heard that said a surprising number of times around here). I don't think Dickinson would kill a snake, but even she who can describe one so well says they make her feel "zero to the bone." She's one of my favorite poets, but I'll disagree with her on that.
Now to the orioles! I've spent the weekend watching Hooded Orioles that returned just a few days ago. At first glance they look like the resident Altamira Orioles. When we first moved to the Rio Grande Valley and I had never before seen either species, I confused the two. The Altamira is a little larger, a relative field mark not too helpful if the two birds aren't side by side. In the photo to the left here is a Hooded Oriole and to the right an Altamira Oriole. You can see two distinguishing features easily -- the Altamira has an orange shoulder patch notching a little "v" in the top front of the black wing, and the Hooded does not. That's probably the most helpful field mark, the one a field guide would point an arrow at. The shape of the black facial patch is different, too. Some field guides say the Altamira has a mask because the black goes from the beak back to the eye and is narrower on the throat. On the Hooded Oriole the black goes down from the eye, covering more of the face and throat--see what I mean?
If you look closely at the Hooded Oriole on the left, you can see that the beak is slightly decurved, or pointed downward, another distinguishing mark, but it's the orange shoulder patch that I always look for first. Of course, once you have welcomed these guys to your home and hung around with them, you know them from a distance just like you know each of your grandkids running towards you, even from way across the park.
Using those two field marks, you could answer the photo quiz from my last post, right? And a special "GOOD JOB!" to Caleb, my smart grandson who may have also had help from his equally smart younger siblings. (Not his baby sister, though--she hasn't looked through a pair of binoculars yet, but just a few more months and she'll be birding with the rest of us.) I think most of you identified the orioles correctly-- Orioles A and B in the quiz were Hooded Orioles and Oriole C was an Altamira Oriole, all eating nectar in the bottlebrush tree in our yard. (If you're not sure what I'm talking about, see the post below that I wrote a few days ago.)
The Hooded Orioles were busy this weekend checking out the prime real estate in the neighborhood-- the tall Washingtonian Palm Trees where they make nests every summer. Here's a photo of one male that perched on a palm above our deck yesterday afternoon and called out "wheat!" over and over. He was repeatedly answered by two other "wheat!"s from two other palm trees. This went on for quite some time.
I don't know if other male orioles were answering the calls. I'm assuming a female Hooded Oriole was within hearing distance, since the male I watched was being such a show-off. At one point he fanned his tail, making it look in miniature like the palm frond he perched on. I hope this photo shows up well enough for you to see the black tail feathers---it was extremely neat to watch. (Click on the photo to enlarge it.)
Today I finally saw a female Hooded Oriole, first in a shrub near the palm where she looked very lemony yellow below, more greenish yellow on her back. Then later I photographed a male and female together eating an orange half. Unlike the Altamira Orioles whose males and females look pretty much alike, the male and female Hooded Orioles are distinct. Aren't they a cute couple?
I'm still on the lookout for migrants, but so far most of our birds at the baths and feeders have been birds that show up here only in the winter. The Gray Catbird is still here and the Black and White, Orange-crowned, and Yellow-rumped Warblers. This weekend's new birds for 2010 were a Yellow-throated Warbler and an American Robin, both brief winter and early spring visitors.
April begins in a couple of days, a fabulous birding month here at home. I love to see the exciting birds that pass through for a day or two--I'm still fluttering about last week's close encounter with a Swallow-tailed Kite--but I also especially love the ones that stay awhile and build nests, raise young. I like to get to know them, not merely tick them off my list. I understand why Emily Dickinson refers to them as people:
"Several of nature's people
I know, and they know me;
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality"
I know, and they know me;
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality"
(click this link to read Dickinson's "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass")
I don't share Dickinson's view of a snake that made her feel such a cold uneasiness, but I too know "nature's people." I look forward to the just beginning nesting season when I am a nature watcher and not just a lister. I think getting to know nature does transport us to a better world. We could sometimes use a little more "cordiality."

Depending on where you live, you may already be sick to death of asparagus, but over here I've just barely started finding decent ones. And I always knew that the first batch would go to this, a recipe my mom came upon sometime last year.
I've always found boiling asparagus to be incredibly tricky - the timing between just right and eeww, mushy has always been a problem - especially as you need to time whatever goes with it accordingly. Grilling and roasting is somehow less fussy, and in this recipe the asparagus is actually fried in a bit of butter until tender (and maybe a bit browned, yum), then mixed with parmesan, shrimp and a creamy lobster sauce.
The lobster fond I use (and that the recipe called for) is a bought concentrate (Touch of Taste, anyone?), but I'm sure if you're the kind of person who makes his/her own stock, shrimp/lobster/crayfish stock would work even better. Just beware that the amount called for here is undiluted concentrate and adjust accordingly.
Pasta with Asparagus and Shrimp
originally from Hufvudstadsbladet, I've upped the wine a bit and reduced the lobster fond
1 pound (500 g) shrimp (or however much unpeeled shrimp it takes to make one pound, er, shrimp)
2 pounds (1 kg) fresh green asparagus
2 tbsp butter
1 cup (250 ml) grated parmesan
1.5 cup (350 ml) crème fraîche (I used low-fat, but make sure it's a type that doesn't separate when heated)
½ cup (120 ml) dry white wine
3 tbsp concentrated lobster fond/stock
pinch of cayenne
flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Cut the asparagus into slanted slices, about half-inch long. Brown the butter slightly and fry the asparagus for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside and stir in the grated parmesan.
In a separate pan, bring the crème fraîche, lobster fond and wine to a boil and let simmer gently for five minutes. Season with cayenne, mix in the shrimp. Keep on the stove just until the shrimp's heated through, then mix with the asparagus and parsley and serve immediately with pasta.
Serves 3-4.

News Roundup
Tampa's Riverwalk will honor city's history, people
TAMPA - Six people who played trailblazing roles in the histories of Tampa and Hillsborough County will be honored with busts along the downtown Riverwalk. In future years, dozens more groundbreakers will be honored on a historical monument trail paralleling the Riverwalk, which winds along downtown Tampa's waterfront. Monuments showcasing seminal events in the county's history ultimately will be added, too. Names of the first six honorees will be announced Tuesday. "These will be easily recognizable names by almost anyone in the area," said Steve Anderson, vice president of the board of Friends of the Riverwalk. "They will be universally known and accepted as people we're trying to represent as having a significant positive impact on this community."The project's goal is to inform Riverwalk strollers about the area's significant people and events. Honorees must be dead at least 15 years. The honorees' names will be announced at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. A panel of nine historians including Tampa Bay History Center curator Rodney Kite-Powell and former Tampa Tribune reporter Leland Hawes selected the first six historical figures. "These first six honorees are just among a larger group, any one of which could easily qualify," Anderson said. "There were probably 10 to 15 others that would be equally easy to pick." Five of the six honorees are obvious choices, he said. "One of them will be a surprise – only because you never thought of it," Anderson said. "But it will be a real surprise and a pleasant bit of information for you." The six busts will sit on solid granite pedestals. Each pedestal will have a plaque describing the person's accomplishments, Anderson said. Busts will be completed and placed along the Riverwalk in six to nine months, Anderson said. It hasn't been determined exactly where along the Riverwalk the busts will be placed. "But there will be some logical locations for maybe one or two honorees along the river," he said. The nonprofit group Friends of the Riverwalk worked with the Tampa Bay History Center on the project. The six busts were funded by private donations. Roughly $100,000 has been raised. Anderson has worked on the concept for nearly 10 years. "I first got approval from Dick Greco in his last year of being mayor, and then Mayor [Pam] Iorio loved the idea but she had a good point; she wanted to have all the monuments spread along the Riverwalk, but we had to build the Riverwalk first." Ultimately the Riverwalk will span about 2½ miles and create a pedestrian corridor from the Channel District to Tampa Heights. "We are first and goal on it," Mayor Bob Buckhorn said. "We have one more portion left to complete – the portion under the Kennedy bridge. It's not inexpensive, but I am looking under every rock and talking to as many people as I can to try to get this thing funded." The final portion would cost close to $12 million, he said.

Wordless Wednesday - Indoor Recess
5 comments
I'm all for free time too. Thankfully my kids are responsible enough that I don't have to supervise them during a wet lunch time either and still get my break! My classroom is right next to the staff room though so I have it lucky!!ReplyDelete
Learning to be awesome
I LOVE indoor recess, except when that's all we have for days at a time when the weather isn't cooperating! We rotate between activities (lego, blocks, games, puzzles, computers, art, etc.) and watching a movie! I didn't realize that this was the first time you were allowed to have recess- CRAZY!ReplyDelete
Sure miss you girls!! Come visit soon please!!!!
Teaching with Crayons and Curls
Recess isn't mandatory at my school either. However, I make a point to get my firsties out 99% of the time because it's what 6/7 year olds should do. Period. We live in Florida, so it's HOT HOT HOT. 10-15 minutes of recess is all that our schedule (and our body!) allows for. It is oh, so hot. But occasionally, it rains. So we play some Koo Koo Kangaroo and dance around or pick an activity on GoNoodle when we are stuck inside.ReplyDelete
At our school, when we have indoor recess, the kids get out games, maker boards, etc...to play with or sometimes they watch a movie.ReplyDelete

Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter's Guilty Pleasures and Laughing Corpse by Laurell K. Hamilton convert cleanly from book to graphic novel. This is due to the conversational nature of the story which matches the common comic book style. Additionally, the comic illustrator Brett Booth took care to match Hamilton's colorful description. The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series is possibly the most accurate translation from comic to novel.
In both novels, Guilty Pleasures and Laughing Corpse Anita Blake narrates, her voice is a casual inner monologue which doesn't edit for the reader. This style almost exactly matches the style in the square narration boxes of comics. Her interior thought are highly reminiscent of Spiderman and Deadpool. They cleanly translate into the narration of a comic. It was almost as if Hamilton knew her novel was going to become a comic. In addition, to the voice of the narrator, Hamilton gives ample description of her world. Her illustrative description is almost enough for a sketch artist. The exact skin tone, hair type and color, body shape and size, and over all body language is covered in high detail. The illustrator is given a clear guide for each character. Booth takes the description and flawless converts it into images.
It was a thrill to both read the comic and novel version of the two stories, Guilty Pleasures and Laughing Corpse. I would recommend reading one version if you like the other.
Always looking for good comics

The developers will remove the ability to trade directly with players
In a bid to combat coin sellers, EA has announced that the trade offers will be removed from FIFA 15 Ultimate Team.
Trade offers allow for users to trade players or coins with others without having to go through the normal auction process.
"We'll be removing Trade Offers from FIFA 15 Ultimate Team," said FIFA community manager Rob Hodson.
"Although some honest players used this feature to trade with friends, it became one of the methods used by coin sellers to sell and move coins. Account phishers also abused Trade Offers by moving stolen players and coins after wrongfully gaining access to unsuspecting FUT player accounts.
"This will also address "bid bumping", where people would try and trick others into bidding far more than they wanted for a player item. It was a tough decision, but this is the right step towards improving security, showing cheaters the red card, and keeping FUT safe for all FIFA fans."
Users will also only be able to bid on a maximum of 50 items, this will be a lower number at first which can be upgraded to 50 with unlockable boosts.
FIFA 15 launches on 23rd September in North America and 26th September in the UK on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Excellent Internet Marketing Suggestions That Will Increases Your Bottom Line. Excellent Internet Marketing Suggestions That Will Increases Your Bottom Line. October 28
, 2015 | Author: Andrews Kristin | Posted in Marketing
Internet marketing has so much untapped potential for businesses. Even a Facebook page can bring an unbelievable amount of traffic to your business and get your name out there among potential customers. There is no limit to the possibilities. This article can help you tap the potential of Internet marketing and harness the power for your business.
To become more efficient, you should set goals for yourself. Use a program to keep track of how many clicks each ad gets. If an ad does not meet the quotas you have set, you need to try something different. Be exigent with yourself, and if you see that your methods are not working you should always be ready to try something new.
When designing your website to market a business or product, keep your customer base in mind. You want to design your website so well that people are drawn to follow the actions you direct
, without even realizing that they are being pushed in that direction. This will translate into more sales conversions.
Try to post as often as possible in any forums on the internet, that appeal to the product that you are offering. Increasing exposure of your company in these forums, can help to get the word out, usually at no cost to you. These are the customers that you want, who are loyal to your industry.
Try starting a podcast or blog. A good podcast will keep customers coming back to your site on a regular basis to check out the new content. With a podcast
, you allow people to multitask while still hearing about your new products or reviews. This will translate into sales if you can keep them returning.
If your internet marketing strategies are exactly the same as other sites, your product will seem boring and you will lose potential customers. It is important that you use several techniques to ensure that your site does not turn into every other internet marketing site. If your site is unique, you will get more buyers.
Know your lingo. Understanding the definitions of the field you are working with is just as important as why you are delving in. Without knowing what symbols, initials, and codes actually mean
, you are diving into a pool at midnight. You do not know what is in there, and it may get you hurt.
Do not let a 404″ hit your network. There is nothing more frustrating than to click a link, only to have it tell you the page has moved. When you move or change a page, provide a redirect allowing the search engine to navigate your consumer to the correct page, even if the link they have on record is invalid.
Try sticking to honesty in advertising when marketing. Just because some ads sell through outlandish claims does not mean that you have to resort to that to make a sale. You can indeed make an honest living by honestly advertising your products and services. Think about the kind of people that you want to buy your stuff and how they can help you get more customers if what they get is just like what you advertised.
A mailing list is a venerable tool in internet marketing
, but it is not so old as to be obsolete. Maintaining an email address database of past, current, and potential customers still offers huge advantages in marketing. Internet marketing strategies change, and a tool which has no use today may become vital tomorrow.
As already mentioned, Internet marketing has so much potential available for your business. For a small investment or even for free
, you can reach out to customers and bring them to your business in droves. By taking action with the information contained in this article, you can reach out and tap that potential for your business.
If what youre doing isnt working, then dont give up! Just try something new. Now that youve read this article, you should have lots of ideas on where to go next with what is attraction marketing. No matter what changes you make to your old methods, you should see some solid results.
