What's all the crying about? Education policy that requires teachers to engage in malpractice – that's what.
The secret is out, teachers, and you are not the only one crying over the soul-crushing policies in schools.
The first murmurs I heard about teachers in crisis came from a principal several years ago. Teachers were streaming into his office seeking counseling services. Many were taking anti-depressants. Some couldn't sleep at night, and some were so anxious and stressed they were worried their families would suffer irreparable damage.
Teachers enter the profession to do what is best for the students in front of them and for society at large. They earn degrees, immersed in rigorous study of how and why humans learn, how to individualize instruction, and how to inspire lifelong learning and engaged citizenship.
But individualization, inspiration, and engagement aren't in current policies, and neither is teachers' professional knowledge. Instead teachers must follow pacing guides and move on with assignments regardless of whether students are beyond or behind. Anyone can walk into a teacher's classroom at any moment and evaluate whether the teacher is following the one-size-fits-all program with "fidelity" and "full compliance."
The choices are soul-crushing: 1) Slow down, teach creatively and get students excited about a topic, but fall behind the pacing guide and receive a poor evaluation and possible humiliation and job loss; or 2) Move on with the pacing guide and ignore students' pleas for help or their yearning to learn more, and evaluations might be fine, but students suffer.
Most teachers do a little of both, but their no-win situation is devastating.
And when students' needs aren't met because teachers are following mandates, they also cry or cry out in other ways.
I've witnessed sobbing children in school, crocodile tears streaking cheeks. Their bodies rejecting the relentless mistreatment they receive from impersonal curriculum, strict limitations on socializing and movement, and harsh punishments for child-like behavior. Students reject dehumanization.
When children hold it together at school they often fall apart at home. Yelling, slamming doors, wetting the bed, having bad dreams, begging parents not to send them back to school.
Some parents seek therapy for their children. More parents than ever feel pressured to medicate their children so they can make it through school days. Others make the gut-wrenching decision to pull their children from public schools to protect their dignity, sanity, and souls. Desperate parents choose routes they have never considered: homeschooling, co-op schooling, or when they can afford it, private schooling. But most parents suffer in silence, managing constant family conflict.
And I cry.
When I spend a lot of time in schools I often cry. Each day when I would leave a particular school in New York, I would find a park bench and have a good cry before heading home on the train. I cried for the children because they were so young and vibrant and constrained to desks for seven hours at a time and they were unable to talk during lunch and they were only allowed outside for ten minutes – if at all – and those ten minutes could quickly evaporate into no minutes if the line to the outside door wasn't straight enough or quiet enough or fast enough. I cried because I witnessed their crocodile tears streaking their cheeks as they sat silently into space.
I also cried for teachers. They were often threatened by administrators and humiliated in front of their students, they were told at the last minute that no, they wouldn't be teaching fifth grade like they have in the past two years – they will be teaching kindergarten and they better damn well be happy they at least have a job. They were told to collect data, look at data, analyze data – and any mention of an individual child's struggle would be interrupted with some line about "data."
And I cried for myself and every other parent out there who would never want her or his child treated like a number, a digit on a data sheet, a potential deficit to the school's reputation. I have hugged and consoled countless parents who were crying and suffering in silence when their children weren't around to see them. Parents who try to support the school's wishes and tell their children to do what teachers say, but then fall apart in private because they know their children are miserable, sad, depressed, and crying too much over school.
Some people might say that crying is an expression of emotion and that it ought to be kept private. Some might even say crying is a sign of irrationality, of over-sensitivity, of hysteria – all insults used to pathologize women (most teachers and all mothers) for at least a hundred years.
However, teachers, students, and parents are not the only emotional players in the unbearable game of school.
Policy makers are emotional. Punitive policies forcing the impossible combination of rigidity and test-based accountability are produced out of fear, anger, distrust, and arrogance. They are written in an irrational effort to control the bodies that fill schools every day.
But policy makers don't have to endure the physical and psychological effects of their policies – those of us in schools do.
It's time to stand in solidarity against mandated dehumanization in one-size-fits-all schooling and against over-emotional policy makers who have a reckless stranglehold on schools. Demand that humanity be returned to teachers, students, and parents who know how to make schools dynamic, inspirational places where everyone can thrive.

PLSTK, which I'm guessing is pronounced as "plastic", is a brand new shoe designer from the States. Born out of marketing company Danger Inc. (who were responsible the creation of the T-Mobile Sidekick), the brains behind PLSTK have now turned their skillful hands to making shoes.
And I'm so grateful that they did. Just check out these sporty loafers, part of their fantastic a/w 2007 range. The clean lines and interesting use of tweed and crocodile skin together really sets these shoes apart from the crowd. Pricing is TBA, but additional information can be expected when they drop in a couple of months time.

I have become one of those people who only find their way into my church for holiday ritual services, weddings and funerals. This bothers me on the one hand and yet I am grounded in knowing this is the way my life has unfolded. I am making choices with no less love of God, church community and worship. I believe that I am no less spiritual or religious than the consistent attendees.
I can't continue to blame this pattern on my schedule as it has relaxed a bit and I am still keeping the same distance from my church community as when I couldn't possibly get there. It is not an intended detachment. I mean no indifference; I take comfort in knowing my church is functioning. I pray no less for those in need within my congregation and I care deeply for their well-being even though I am not physically in their fold.
I have guilt in knowing my tithing commitment is in arrears. It seems when I am done paying the bills there is nothing left to forward on to the church, yet somehow I find a way to buy Chinese take-out. I know that I should just climb back on the tithing wagon and give up thinking I will fulfill my past due debt.
I have great concern that I do not get my daughter to the weekly service and also involved in the social circle of junior members. I want her there and I want to be there but I don't want to surrender four precious hours of my weekend. I do want and need to wake up slowly, meditate on the beauty outside my window, listen to myself think, ponder the flurry of days that have gone by, distance myself from potential commitments that will arise from being part of a social group. I believe that alone time keeps me well.
I admonish myself for allowing my daughter's sports schedule to suck the life out of me and thus take away from her religious education, yet I know I do right by keeping God at the center of our lives. I talk with my children about seeking the Lord for guidance and strength. I taught them to pray for those who were hurt as well as those who have hurt us. I struggle to instill the suspension of judgment in my children. I struggle to suspend judgment in myself.
I berate myself for being able to schedule exercise time and happy hour everyday and yet not make it to church once a week or even occasionally. I can blame my distance on so many things. I am the only one taxi-ing us back and forth to everywhere. I am the sole and primary caretaker of two and one half people and a dog. I believe I love my God just as much in private as in public but I grow so deeply with God in private- so much more than I do in public. At the end of every week I am tired and in need of a blank canvas.
I am trying to give my children everything they need and not everything they want. I strive to head them towards a spiritual path without forcing my beliefs on them but secretly I am hoping they will absorb my spirit. I do not settle down to sleep without praying every night that they will be desirous of spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual health. I pray this for everybody, everywhere, no matter the name of his or her God.
I did better in the spiritual social realm when my son was my daughter's age. I had less on my plate maybe, more energy maybe. Was less grounded in my personal convictions likely and less trusting that God was wrapped right up inside us tumble tight. I believe that I was then less confident that I could communicate faith properly and likely was less able to surrender to my own individual and delicate needs.
So now in this spilling out of confessional angst with no anticipation of an end but to send thoughts off to the four winds at a time of rebirth, rejuvenation and spiritual awakening, I think I have it. The "aha" has popped right into my head and is settling into my heart. The testament of both failures and strengths is appeasing the voices in my head and the stories in my heart. I believe that I have been in a conflict of social spirituality.
Why shouldn't I be confident in seeking comfort in the communal gatherings of religious holidays and times of sorrowful goodbyes?
I believe these events are but a collective emotive sighing for the high and low points in life. I also believe that day-to-day I don't need to be communal in my spiritual actions; I need to be selfish and confident in my indulgence and gentle with myself. I go full speed more often than not, living my faith. I share the Word by living it. And…I know God loves me whether I am in church or not.

Head of State (March 27/03)
Given that Chris Rock's last movie, Bad Company, was as awful as it was, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that Head of State has to be better. And indeed it is, though Rock still doesn't seem to possess an ounce of acting talent.
Rock stars as Mays Gilliam, a well-meaning alderman who - through a set of odd circumstances - is chosen to run for President. Though he initially doesn't seem to have much of a chance, his decision to tell it like it is (rather than spew out the pre-packaged speeches his advisors insist he read) wins over a good portion of the voting public. But his opponent, the former Vice-President (Nick Searcy), refuses to lose to such a newcomer and begins publicly slandering Mays.
Though the film is essentially entertaining, Head of State's premise is so ludicrous that it never quite becomes the Capra-esque fantasy Rock clearly wants it to be. The idea that a black man could be President isn't ridiculous in this day and age; however, the film presents Mays in such a stereotypical light that it's impossible to believe that he'd get past the first step of his campaign. Clearly, this is supposed to be wishful thinking on the part of Rock; if his character acts naturally and speaks truthfully, in the idealized world of Head of State, he wins. But really, who in their right mind is going to vote for a candidate who behaves like an extra out of a Jay Z video?
There are a few chuckle worthy moments in the film, but it never becomes quite as funny as you might hope - mostly due to Rock's self-censorship. The movie's been rated PG-13 in the States, and if you've ever heard any of Rock's stand-up material, you know there's no way it could ever receive that kind of a rating. He's such a terrible actor that, if he's not funny, what's the point of him even being in a movie? The supporting cast is peppered with familiar faces, including Dylan Baker (!), but the actors are never really allowed to develop characters; they seem to exist only to further the substandard plot. For example, Lynn Whitfield plays an advisor that initially hates Gilliam, but ends up becoming his biggest supporter - in the space of about five minutes.
And then, of course, there's Rock. Though he's proven to be an engaging presence on talk shows, he just can't seem to get the hang of this acting thing. His performance seems completely forced; there's nothing naturalistic about his screen presence. It's fairly apparent that he's trying awfully hard to ingratiate himself to the audience, but he can't do it (it must be said, however, that compared to his performance in Bad Company, he comes off like Olivier here). Head of State also marks Rock's directorial debut, and there's nothing entirely special about his visual style. He seems to be interested in telling the story in as bland a fashion as possible, which is certainly appropriate for the material.

Prunetec - Invitro study of Psa survival in PruneTec (Wound protectant)
The purpose of this trial was to carry out an invitro study of Psa survival in wound protectant (PruneTec).
Wound protectants are used to protect wounds following pruning and grafting. Kiwifruit vines are pruned to remove excess wood in summer and to structure the vine in winter. Pruning wound dressings generally contain a bactericide that aimed at providing protection from bacterial infections. This report presents the evaluation of PruneTec 20001948 wound protectant tested against Psa-V to determine efficacy under laboratory conditions.

Impact of covered structures on the progression of Psa-V, Phase Two
Trials were set up in the kiwifruit growing season of 2012–13 on three orchards to test whether plastic, breathable covers erected over existing kiwifruit vines could reduce the incidence, progression and severity of Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae (Psa-V) infections. These structures had been erected in an attempt to slow the progression of Psa-V. Vines were already infected with Psa-V, with varying levels of symptoms expressed. Across the three sites the varieties Actinidia chinensis 'Zesy002' (Gold3), A. chinensis 'Zesy003' (Gold9), A. deliciosa 'Zesh004' (Green14) and A. chinensis 'Hort16A' were assessed, along with Gold3 scions that had been notch grafted onto existing rootstocks. Grafted seedlings were planted out at each site and used as trap plants that would indicate infection from Psa.

The KVH AGM is scheduled for 26 November 2014 starting at 2pm in Classic Flyers, Jean Batten Drive, Mount Maunganui. AGM papers and proposed resolutions have been sent to KVH members and are now available on the KVH website here.
In addition to the AGM matters, Zespri's Dave Tanner, GM Science & Innovation, will give an overview on the Psa-V research programme, what it has achieved and its future direction. This will be the last opportunity for Dave to present on the Psa-V R&D programme, as he leaves employment with Zespri at the end of the year.
All growers and industry participants are encouraged to attend.
Please RSVP to email@example.com
KVH has revised its best practice guidelines for orchard hygiene. The main changes include a more practical approach to orchard hygiene in Recovery regions where infection is widespread.
More focus is placed on removing any visible signs of plant material rather than sanitisation of footwear and hands between orchards in Recovery regions. The revised best practice guidelines also recognise the lower risk of vehicle movements onto orchards, such as quad bikes and fertiliser spreaders, and doesn't require cleaning and sanitisation between orchards in Recovery regions.
However, the risk of transferring disease through movement of infected plant material remains. Therefore growers who require additional measures to reduce the risk, including sanitisation of footwear and hands, are encouraged to do so.
If you have any feedback about the changes, please email email@example.com.
As a result of the increasing number of confirmed Psa-V positive orchards in the wider Coromandel region, the KVH Board has made the decision to reclassify the region from Containment to Recovery.
Psa-V was first identified in the Coromandel region in September 2012.
The NPMP defines a Recovery region as a region with widespread Psa-V infection. The Coromandel region currently has more than 65% of kiwifruit hectares on orchards with Psa-V identified.
The KVH Board, while having empathy with Coromandel growers who did not support this change, had to consider the rules of the NPMP and the need to move pollen into the region for the upcoming pollination season.
MPI have released a new fact sheet for BMSB which includes comparison to other stink bugs already present in New Zealand. Click here to view the fact sheet.
This fact sheet is part of a larger public awareness campaign that KVH is supporting. Growers who have travelled internationally recently will have noticed the increased publicity at the airport.
KVH has also participated in the development of a research strategy to minimise and manage the risks posed by BMSB to New Zealand.
What is Brown Marmorated Stink Bug?
BMSB is a significant pest to many horticultural industries. It is native to parts of Asia but is currently undergoing rapid range expansion in the United States, Canada and Europe—which previously did not have established populations.
BMSB is considered a high priority pest as;
Growers are encouraged to look out for this organism. Any suspected sightings should be caught, photographed and reported to MPI on 0800 80 99 66.
The cancellation of trans-Tasman international flights in and out of Rotorua Airport means there is one less biosecurity risk pathway into New Zealand.
Since the trans-Tasman flights started in 2009, Rotorua Airport has been a potential entry pathway for biosecurity risks into New Zealand. Of particular concern was the risk of importing Queensland Fruit Fly from Australia directly into the Bay of Plenty.
Last year KVH completed a preliminary review of border interventions at Rotorua Airport to ensure potential biosecurity risks to the kiwifruit industry were being managed appropriately. While KVH was satisfied with the level of biosecurity intervention on this pathway, the cancellation of the flights eliminates this risk altogether and enables MPI resources to be applied to managing other pathways.
Rotorua Airport will cancel its international air service from the end of April 2015.
Chilean growers have been dealt another significant blow after frosts last week devastated crops for the second year in a row. One large producer estimates between 80-100% crop loss on some kiwifruit orchards.
The frosts, which were "completely unexpected" came roughly one year after severe frost wreaked havoc on almost the entire Chilean agricultural industry last year. Many growers did not have their frost protection systems turned on as the weather had been so mild.
This week KVH visited twelve orchards in the Whanganui region and also held a meeting with local growers to discuss best practice Psa-V management strategies and to provide latest research information.
All growers in the region had good monitoring programmes in place. Results from these show some spring progression within previously affected orchards. Levels of infected male vines remain below 10 percent with cane dieback and exudate being the symptoms observed. Minimal numbers of female vines are showing any infection.
Severe spring wind, and for some, recent hail events, have provided challenging growing conditions and proactive spray programmes, cut out of infection as it is found and good orchard hygiene procedures is likely to have minimised infection spread to date.
No leaf spot was evident. However, some bud browning was seen on one Psa-V positive site.
Shelter and adequate pollination are seen as challenges in this region. Notch-grafting of older male varieties has begun. Successful results from December 2013-grafted males, has resulted in growth which will contribute to pollination this year.
This region previously had two unmanaged sites recorded, and each of these sites were visited. One of these blocks has now been removed and the other has been returned to management.
Using products at lower than the recommended label rates can increase the risk of resistance developing, and has been implicated as a factor in cases of resistance to disease in other crops.
Given the limited control options available, it is important the kiwifruit industry use the tools that are available appropriately. This will maximise the useful life of the products. To reduce the risk of resistance, it is very important that the label instructions, including label rates are followed.
On-going use of products outside label recommendations risks ACVM reviewing copper label approvals.
The use of KeyStrepto™ at less than label rates is illegal, and must not occur in any circumstances.
Growers who are concentrate spraying need to adjust product rates to ensure correct rates are applied.
Low levels of leaf spotting within some orchards in the Bay of Plenty region have been reported over the last week. Sepal browning is being reported for some blocks historically vulnerable to bud infection. Leaf spot symptoms are traditionally seen this time of year—often appearing after periods of wet weather and particularly if these are also associated with wind and cold conditions.
Research has shown that a good protective spray programme helps minimise leaf spot symptoms, reducing inoculum build-up within orchards. Maintain copper cover, and in high-risk situations the use of KeyStrepto™, is highly recommended at this time to avoid build-up of orchard inoculum levels. Actigard™ provides further support by eliciting the vine's defence system through this critical pre-flowering period.
Growers intending to trunk girdle as an additional tool against flower bud and flower infection are recommended to leave some un-girdled vines, to allow measurement of the value of this tool on their individual site. Click here for Zespri's methodology on the Canopy.
Copper protectant products Tri-Base Blue® and Champ™ DP have been removed from KVH's recommended product list (below) as their use period from post-harvest to leaf-fall and then through dormancy has ended.

Liquid Limit Test (Ll)
|Liquid limit tests
Testing procedure
The dry soil sample that passing 0.425 mm test sieve is mixed with distilled water to a thick paste.
Some of the soil paste is placed in the cup, leveled off horizontally and divided by cutting a groove.
The two halves of the soil gradually flow together as the cup is raised and repeatedly dropped on to the base at the rate of 2 drops per second.
The number of blows required to close the bottom of the groove is calculated.
This test is repeated after adding more water.
All test samples are collected and placed on the oven for 24 hours.
The dry samples are weighed for the moisture content of soil.
From the above reading, the percent of moisture content of the soil is determined and plot the number of blows-moisture content % graph. According to the graph, the LL is defined as the moisture content at which 25 blows.

text: I spotted this shoes on Jeff Staple's Instagram and I had to do some digging on them. Turns out they're from White Mountaineering Spring/Summer 2012 collection of sneakers, and I'm kind of in love. They're ridiculous, which is why I like 'em so much. I really like the pair in back a lot, they'd be good for summer.

CCP BPF activist no longer suspected in terrorism
http://spring96.org/en/news/29832 2009 2009-10-01T18:54:50+0300 2009-10-01T18:54:50+0300 1970-01-01T03:00:00+0300 en http://spring96.org/files/images/sources/ulanau.jpg
On 10 July the activist of the Conservative Christian Party Belarusian Popular Front Kanstantsin Ulanau was detained by police and spent ten days in custody in the pre-trial prison in Akrestsin Street on charges in participation in the terrorist group that was preparing a terrorist act.
Mr. Ulanau is a veteran of the war in Afganistan. During these ten days he was taken for interrogations and confrontations in connections with the charges in terrorism.
According to the information of RFE/RL Mr. Ulanau also expressed the hope that the Vaukavysk entrepreneur Mikalai Autukhovich (kept in jail since February) would be cleared of the suspicions in terrorism as well.

I've come to need a 16qt stock pot.
I'll use it for big seafood boils and stocks of all kind.
My local restaurant supply has a great very heavy aluminum pot for $30 with lid.
Stainless steel pots run the gamut in price.
Is there a reason to go for one over the other?
(And if you're thinking of the Alzheimers link... apparently it's a myth. This from Alzheimers.org: Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer's. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer's. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.)

Construction of Road Linking Mombasa to Rail Terminus Starts in June
Source: Business Daily
Construction of a commuter road network connecting Mombasa Island and the Miritini Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) station will be underway in two months.
The road, whose construction starts after SGR operations, is expected to enable people access the Miritini terminus from the coastal Island and vice versa.
"By the time we complete the railway line infrastructure which is coming in less than two months there would be the road connectivity through Magongo and Changamwe to the Island. The railway will not work in total isolation.It will work with the road network," SGR consultant engineer James Karanja said Thursday.
Speaking in Mombasa, Mr Karanja said the road will also connect to adjacent areas while expressing optimism of expanding the network to Moi International Airport and the town centre.
"Once that is done, a desirable future option will be to have a commuter railway from Miritini station passing through the Moi International Airport and to the central business district. But for the immediate need we shall utilise both the railway and road transport to create easier mode of travel for passengers moving from upcountry to the Island and its environs and back," he added.
The engineer said Miritini was the ideal place to build a passenger terminal due to availability of land for expansion of the rail and proximity to Mombasa Port, saying the two infrastructures were meant to co-exist to boost trade.
"We needed space without being hindered. We had a location in Changamwe, but we did not want to interfere with the flight path of planes coming to land at Moi Airport. Then it meant we had to dig down the track we found there was an existing oil pipeline...we could have compromised safety. Our objective was the port that's why we went for Miritini," Mr Karanja said.

The K Runtime Environment (KRE) for ASP.NET 5Apr 30, 2015
ASP.NET 5 is based on a flexible, cross-platform runtime host that can host one of several .NET CLRs. You can run ASP.NET 5 applications on the .NET Framework with its full API set for maximum compatibility. You can also run ASP.NET 5 on the new .NET Core, which enables true side-by-side deployments that you can copy into existing environments without having to change anything else on the machine. In the future, you'll also be able to run ASP.NET 5 cross-platform on .NET Core, and there's community support for running cross-platform on Mono today. The runtime hosting infrastructure for ASP.NET 5 is currently called the K Runtime Environment (KRE), which is a generic placeholder name until Microsoft finalize the official name. The KRE provides an environment that has everything a .NET app needs to run: a host process, CLR hosting logic, managed entry point discovery and so forth. The KRE was built for running cross-platform .NET Web applications, but it can run other types of .NET applications, too, such as console apps. The KRE is based on the same .NET CLR and base class libraries .NET developers have come to know and love, while enabling cross-platform support for running .NET applications on Windows, OS X and Linux.

text: I broke up with my boyfriend that I dated for four months after I discovered that he was trying to contact his ex girlfriend by telling his cousin to tell her that she still is in his mind although they already broke up. Then I asked him. He said yes he still loves her.. then after that he sent another text message telling me that he loves her as a friend. Then we talked. he said that he really did not love me and I was just used to patch up his broken heart and fill his missing hole. I feel bad. He is such a jerk. Two weeks before this happened, we broke up also because we had a petty fight and he said that he didn't love me at all again that time. Then the day after we broke up, I went out with a guy to go to New York only as friends of course so that my friend can cheer myself up. Then he was mad... so mad. I explained everything and he wanted me back. If I was his rebound, then why will he be mad with the idea of me enjoying myself with another guy? He lied to me a lot of times. I'm confused with his behavior. He used me to forget his ex and now I feel like I am a good for nothing trashy girl. He is four years older than me and I am only 18. I feel like for my age I am more mature than him. Moreover, he could not get over his ex who cheated on him three times in a row but they were together for four years. I called him yesterday one day after we broke up. He was rude to me. I was on the phone and he just continuously practice his guitar. That's when I realize how such a jerk he is. Why me? He is my second boyfriend. Now I don't know if I can trust another guy again. I want to win not by winning him back but by being happy and becoming a better person. I hope someday he will realize his mistake and regret what he did to me. Then I will just laugh because he is with his fat girlfriend who is a cheater.. hahaha

DISC is for organisations that want to share information and current-awareness with people outside their organisation.
Companies use DISC for sharing with customers, partners, contractors, tenants, product- and service-users and other external groups. Charities and community groups use it to share information with, and maximise the participation of, members and volunteers who share their common purpose or interest.
DISC is robustly secure and 'compliant by design', so it's ideal for sharing confidential or personal information between separate public agencies or within crime reduction partnerships, in compliance with privacy regulations.
DISC is low-cost, so the smallest organisation can use it, and larger ones can deploy separate DISC systems for different purposes. Yet each DISC system can link with others for local, national or even international-information sharing, or for central management.

text: One of the truly great things about the AppStore model is the fact that it allows for small indie developers to truly shine. A few years ago, one such teams made an original Flash game based around safely transporting an object to the surface by destroying the supporting structures. Since then, the idea has found many implementations, e.g. Tiki Totems, Tumbledrop (TMA Review). Today we'll take a look at another one – Saving Private Sheep by BulkyPix – a humorous reiteration of the same concept.

text: Journeys are hard, and often there are beasts to face along the way. It's a theme repeated many times in Myers's story of Anthony Witherspoon, 17, home in Harlem after his first term at an exclusive New England boarding school. Ambivalent about leaving in the first place, now he feels as if his old neighborhood has already changed, or he has changed, or maybe he is already seeing things as an outsider. His girlfriend Gabi has become a drug addict and other friends seem lost or trapped. Harlem street life seems like a labyrinth, a monster maze, with beasts ready to snatch you up for making a wrong turn. Allusions to demons, Herod killing babies, the Black Plague, saints who sometimes fail you, and beasts who sometimes comfort lend a mythic air to a realistic story that offers no easy answers. If there are no magicians waving helpful wands, at least there's the possibility of hope, promise, and belief "in a heart that sees beauty and a soul that prays for love." (Fiction. YA)

If enacted, a new amendment to the Constitution (the 27th) would read: ''Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.''
Simple and direct, say advocates of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Confusing and obscure, say opponents. Some charge it would let loose a generation of court interpretations. President Reagan says he wants sex equality , but opposes this approach. The Republicans, as a party, have paid the idea lip service for 40 years.
The Reagan White House staff has made a heavy-handed effort to reduce the tension with laughter and has helped produce what some call a classic hot-weather story. President Reagan has made a further explanation of his opinion. Meanwhile, polls show that in 1980, 56 percent of all men voted for him but only 47 percent of all women.
In San Diego on Friday, Mr. Reagan, in a speech billed by aides as a response to charges by a disgruntled former Justice Department official that the administration's move to eliminate anti-discriminatory laws is a ''sham,'' said:
''I think it's time to cut through the fog of demagoguery that surrounds this whole issue. . . . All of us are interested in one goal: ensuring legal equity for women.''
The attack on the Reagan program is by feminist Barbara Honegger, who quit a administration support.
The Republican National Committee has enlisted the President's daughter, Maureen Reagan - an ERA supporter - to help improve the GOP's image among women.
Most people want sex equality - but how?
Last spring, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R) of Utah, chairman of the Constitution subcommittee and an opponent of the ERA, restarted hearings on the amendment, noting that the more it has been discussed, ''the less successful it has been.'' Congress initiated an ERA proposal in 1972 that fell three states short of the 38 needed for ratification. Congress extended the deadline in vain. Senator Hatch says that Congress isn't serious. Reagan also argues that there are better ways to proceed. One is to eliminate discriminatory legislation a law at a time. Barbara Honegger had been enlisted to search such laws out.
Many winced at the White House's heavy-handed response to the one-woman Honegger challenge. Justice department spokesman Tom DeCair derided her as a ''low-level munchkin.'' White House press spokesman Larry Speakes carried the ridicule further: ''The last time I saw her, she [Honegger] was the Easter Bunny at the White House Easter Egg roll.''
It made Miss Honegger a celebrity overnight; it brought retorts in kind; it filled a midsummer news gap; it stimulated charges directed at the President's daughter; and it forced Mr. Reagan to redefine his position.
In his carefully prepared San Diego speech to the Women's Leadership Forum Friday, Reagan pointed to the program he had initiated to expose unequitable laws and practices. There are rules on the books, he said, to safeguard the rights of women, and ''these laws must be enforced; some must be strengthened.''
Instances of unjust laws, Reagan said, have been collected and submitted for review to the Cabinet Council on Legal Policy. He has ordered officials to speed the work.
The Honegger flareup has raised other questions. Mr. Reagan has recently criticized supposed slights by the press. Reporters find the President one of the most amiable men who has sat in the White House. They ask now, with a number of basic national and international problems coming to the front, if the administration does not need a staff capable of a lighter touch and a less abrasive approach.

PC keyboard technology has remained pretty much the same in its 30-year existance, so why is it that there are scores of new models coming out every year? I personally have gone through the rise and fall of the first IBM "tank" keyboards, quiet keyboards, ergonomic keyboards, media keyboards, and the latest gaming keyboards.
What is is about a gaming keyboard that makes it stand out from any old "generic" QWERTY panel? Razer thinks they have the answer, as they have released the latest elite gaming keyboard, the Razer Lycossa.
We previously had a brief hands-on look at the Lycossa when it debuted at the World Cyber Games 2007 in Seattle. Since we only got to play with it for a few minutes, we decided to take a more in-depth look at what makes gamers drool when they play with this gaming peripheral.
With an awesome host of features, the Razer Lycosa is on an unstoppable mission to destroy and dominate.
Execute complex combat maneuvers with swift dexterity. Launch your assaults timed to perfection. Annihilate your enemies and reign supreme on the battlefield. You now have the tactical advantage on every terrain, and your enemies' fates are in your hands.

What People Are Saying About Mr. Handyman of North Monmouth County
A Few of Our Favorite Reviews
"I would be remiss in not telling you how very much I appreciated everything you and Craig did to help me through a situation that - until you appeared - just seemed overwhelming. I won't go into all of the background that led me to your services, but it was one of the luckiest days of my life to have discovered the honest, reasonable, remarkably talented persons that you are. When I looked at the list of things that needed to be done, I wanted to give up. It just didn't seem possible that it wouldn't be weeks or even months before the work could be finished. From the time I contacted Mr. Handyman to the discussion we had following the completion of the work - only a few days later - I became the greatest fan of the Mr. Handyman team - specifically of the team of Steve and Craig. To make sure I'm being clear, it wasn't just that the work was done and that it was done with a level of quality that highlights your considerable talents. It was the fact that you understood my frustrations and my fears when that was all that I had. You were personable, kind,and understanding. You provided me with a sense of confidence that allowed me to take a breath and get through what I had thought was an insurmountable situation. Although it isn't enough, Thank You for all that you did! I will never forget it, and hope to be able to call upon your services again. With my highest and warmest regards, Bridget N"Customer's Rating

Vicki D.

Benny J.
"The job performed was one I couldn't get anyone else to do for me. It may sound strange, but he was the only one with enough guts to cut a hole in my garage ceiling to get a real handle on the problem. Work turned out to be more diagnostic than anything else, but I needed someone who could point me in the right direction. I would now feel comfortable having Mr. Handyman do more specific jobs because of how this very abstract one was handled. He also installed a light timer for my outside light, and that is working well."Customer's Rating
Barbara M.
"Technician was very professional, skilled at completing the job at hand, on time, friendly, and left the work area in good shape."Customer's Rating
Jerry C.
"Prompt, neat, respectable, and most of all, they knew how to handle my project."Customer's Rating

Frank D.
"They arrived in a timely fashion. Also, Mr. Handyman was very honest and polite, very nice to deal with. I would use Mr. Handyman again and would certainly recommend them to friends and co-workers. The cleanup after the project was also perfect. Very impressive company. They should be proud of their service."Customer's Rating
Joyce K.
"Your service is just what someone like me needs. I found your associate, Robert, to be very personable and I felt quite confident in him. As I identify more things that I can't cope with, I would happily call him back!"Customer's Rating

"The repair person came and worked, did an excellent job, and cleaned up after he was finished. He explained what he was going to do. When he was finished, he asked if there was anything else I needed. I will be using him again."Customer's Rating

I take paypal (preferred), money orders, and well-concealed cash. I am not responsible for any incoming payments lost in the mail.
IF the work is full color, I will do one revision on the sketch for free. After that, further revisions will cost an amount based on the work requested. If the sketch is the finished product it comes as is. (I am willing to talk to customers about this if anything comes up so please talk to me if there are any problems and we can discuss changes.)
You must request revisions during the sketch stage. I will not make changes that should have been made to the sketch after inking or coloring.
I will do minor revisions for sketch commissions and icons once they have been finished.
For sketches and small work such as icons, I will finish the work without any preview. For color badges, inks, and larger work, I will submit a sketch to be approved before moving on to the next stage.
I am willing to accept due dates, provided the commissioner gives me adequate time to work. I otherwise work without deadlines.
What I am willing to draw:
Anything PG-PG13 is game. Anything upward of that will be accepted on a case by case basis. If you're not sure, just note me.
Copyright and ownership:
I retain the copyright to the image. This means that I, and only I, can make reproductions, sell prints, make revisions, and upload the image to any galleries that I may choose. An individual can buy the copyright for an additional price.
The commissioner retains rights to the characters depicted in the image. This means that while I am able to reproduce or alter the specific work, I am not allowed to use the characters in any future work without the commissioner's permission.
The commissioner owns the physical object (if the commission is real media) and can do whatever they want to that physical object (alter it, draw on it, step on it, etc.) however the image itself is protected under the artist's copyright and therefore cannot be uploaded, reproduced, or redistributed without the artist's permission. If you want to change the image in some way and display it on the internet, send me a note and ask. Probably I will say yes.
In most cases, I will give the commissioner permission to upload the image to their online galleries, use it for icons, etc. Exceptions will be discussed before the commissioning process begins.
Should the commissioning process turn south:
I retain the right to refuse a commission for any reason.
If, for whatever reason, I cannot finish the commission, the commissioner will receive a full refund.
If the commissioner should call off the commission I will refund them the unfinished portion and they will receive their work in whatever state it may be in. I retain the right to refuse giving a full refund after I have done work.
If you have any questions, send me a note!

I really liked Cool Like Chloé 's post about summer. Read it. It kind of inspired me to write, heeee :D
Here we go.
What's hot (except the weather, heee) this summer? In Power Rangers Go land anyway. (Yup, a big land that fits in my head)
*Bobs! No, not Sponge Bob Squarepants (although I do love him), neither that working Bob-guy, I'm talking about hair bobs! I really like this 90's kid look I sported myself in the early days. As every other kid actually...so f done right , it can look really cool. Check out these people (from face Hunter). Models have caught up too. Beloved Olya Ivanisevic (patriotism again, ssssh) sports a heaaavy fringe with short carré bob whilst super-sexy super-hot Alison Nix opts for a Louise Brooks flapper haircut.
*The Greek Goddess. This summer, I decided I want to look like a Greek Goddess. Think lots of white, draping, and dark leather gladiator-inspired sandals.After spending some time in the Louvre with school, I decided the Diane Chasseresse looked really cool and her drapey dress looked very Chloé-ish back then. Check out Sophia Kokosalaki's craftsmenship! When fashion meets art...
*Your best friend : your bicycle. Eco-friendly and practical, it's got everything but bad sides : You'll save the planet, you can go where you want whenever you want , you don't have to depend on your parents to drive you somewhere (okay so this doesn't apply to US girls who can drive their own car soon) , no parking freak outs, plus you'll look hot as ever with your hair flowing in the wind and the sun shining on your skin while loosing calories and getting fit. Convinced?
*The ultimate party accessory: the cigarette-holder.If you smoke, say bye to smelly yellow fingers and say hi to elegance. I've been obsessed with those since I saw Chicago. Seriously, is there any other way to look sexy and elegant at the same time? Get in gear with a nude color palette and dropped-waist dresses à la roaring 20's or go Audrey Hepburn all the way.
*It's all about looking breath-taking with miles long legs. Think either minidresses or micro shorts. Minidresses are what you need, right now. Check out Gucci, Chloé, Christian Lacroix... As for micro shorts, Prada fo sho! Get your grab on satin shiny micro shorts (check out Bershka) or disco-glam gliterry highwaisted hotshorts the Chanel way. But you can also go out on the streets wearing...erm, nothing. Dear little panties seemed to be designers' favorite. Why bother with bottoms when you can go out in your underwear?
*Colors : white, anyone?. Crisp, clean, bright and cool white that will refresh you from the hot sweaty summer days. Always a nice classic.
Another favorite of mine? Bright green. There is such a springy feel to it, and I feel like a flower. The dream dress? Stella mcCartney. That dress seriously looks like a jewel to me. Just look at it! It's shiny, sexy, perfectly cut and and and oooh!
Have a nice summer!

Many people ask me if I have any time that is not planned. Beneath that question is another one—do I have spare time when I do nothing? I find that question intriguing. It shows me that many people don't know why it's worth planning ahead and work on specific tasks at specific times. Today, I am writing about why it is worth being productive.
One of the best ways to become productive is to invest your time in building habits. I've written about this a number of times. Today, I'll show you (or, for some of you, give a reminder about) the four stages of competence. This model clearly describes how one can build a habit. Read on to learn more about this model.
Our vocabulary shapes our behavior – Why you should avoid "try," "need," and "have to."
How often do you say "I have to"? Do you say "I'll try…"? I really believe that the language we use shapes our behavior. I wonder if you get the same impression. I hope that you'll find my thoughts and tips on this topic useful.
You have a great chance to suffer from FOMO even if you don't know what it is. I know that I have it. How can you fight FOMO? I'm writing this post also, or maybe even especially, for myself— to remind myself how to fight it. Read on!
Do you read some books more than once? I do. Why? I find that I miss a lot with the first read. Maybe you do the same? You may remember the main ideas and basic concepts. But the details are important too! And you may slip past them during the first read. When you read a book for the second time, you have a greater chance of catching those details. I reread some books recently and the same pattern repeats every time—I'm surprised with the number of additional details I catch.
How much do you remember from the books you read? I bet you remember some, but would like to remember more. Every time I read a book for the second time I'm surprised how little stayed in my memory. That's why I created my own reading approach to remember more from the books I read. It consists of 4 simple steps.
Marcin, the way you ran the meeting was excellent. It was to the point, and everything was on time.
Marek, you prepared a great template. It's so easy to use!
Andrzej, I heard how you handled that case with Grzegorz. I really appreciate the way you solved it.
Jacek, thank you for the report you sent me yesterday. It contains everything I asked for.
Kasia, your presentation yesterday was really interesting. I remembered a lot of details.
Marian, I really like your pants! You look great in them.
Guys, you did really well! The way you solved that problem was excellent. Everyone knows what
the issue was and no one feels resentful.
Yesterday's dinner was really delicious. It was a pleasant to be your guest!
How often do you say similar things to your friends, employees, and colleagues? How often do you praise others and notice well-executed tasks? Probably not often enough!
Simple words that show that you notice something done well are priceless. They make other people feel appreciated and more confident, people want to continue to perform well.

Americans have been continually deceived about the true state of the financial system
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, June 2, 2011
Yesterday's so-called "horror" show for the US economy with the release of new data illustrating how the economic "recovery" has all but ground to a halt was met with feigned astonishment and shock by the establishment media, and yet for the past two years the public has been continually deceived about the true state of the financial system.
All the hot air about an "economic recovery" has served to hide the fact that the United States is slipping back into a double-dip recession, if not a second "great depression," as market strategist Peter Yastrow told CNBC yesterday.
1) In 2009, when the media claimed the economic "recovery" had begun, oil prices averaged $54 dollars a barrel. In the 24 months since, the cost has doubled. Americans are paying more and more to fill up at the pump with Goldman Sachs predicting that gas will hit $5 dollars a gallon by summer. This figure was already reached in Washington DC two months ago. Far from representing a "recovery" this is in fact another crippling expense that many Americans people simply cannot afford.
2) The housing market has shown no "recovery" whatsoever. The collapse in US house prices "is now greater than that suffered during the Great Depression." Prices have plunged by 33 per cent since 2007. Home ownership is at its lowest level for 20 years.
3) The collapse in home ownership has flooded the rental market, leading to massive inflation "pushing up the cost of leases across the nation's 38 million rented residences," reports Bloomberg. Far from enjoying a "recovery," US citizens lucky enough not to be stuck in underwater mortgages are instead paying through the nose for rental inflation that represents a huge chunk of the overall consumer price index.
4) Food price inflation is also savaging Americans who are being browbeaten by the word "recovery" while the cost of their groceries soars to unaffordable levels, forcing them to buy cheap unhealthy GMO crap or simply go hungry. Food prices in the US are climbing at the fastest rate since the 1970′s.
5) While Americans were being told to jump on the "recovery" bandwagon and spend more money to reinvigorate the economy, their median incomes were plummeting. Americans are getting poorer. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, median household income in the United States fell from $51,726 in 2008 to $50,221 in 2009 and has been flat since, even as the cost of living continues to rise.
6) While the Federal Reserve points to GDP growth as evidence of recovery, citing figures of $700 million in growth from 2008-2011, the government had to borrow and spend $5.1 trillion just to attain that level. "The Federal government borrowed and spent $5.1 trillion over the past four years to generate a cumulative $700 billion increase in the nation's GDP. That means we've borrowed and spent $7.28 for every $1 of nominal "growth" in GDP," writes Charles Hugh Smith.
7) While the establishment media and the government pretends that US unemployment numbers are on the decline, the real unemployment figure stands at over 22 per cent. An even more alarming figure shows that fewer than 46 per cent of Americans actually have jobs, with employment rates in California and Arizona hovering around 37 per cent.
8) Along with almost all paper currencies, the dollar has drastically declined in comparison to commodities like gold and silver since the so-called "recovery" began in 2009. At the bottom of the economic slump in the middle of 2009, the greenback was hovering around the $950 dollar an ounce level – it is now well above $1500 and only soaring higher. A weakening dollar reduces Americans' buying power and makes them pay more for staple necessities like food and fuel as the cost of living skyrockets.
9) Far from staging a "recovery," US consumer confidence is now lower than during all the financial crises or tragedies of the last several decades. From the crash of '87, to Enron, to 9/11, to the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, Americans have never been so pessimistic about the economy.
10) Of course, the only people enjoying a financial "recovery" are the Wall Street bankers and the financial terrorists who pulled the plug on the economy in the first place. Since its 2009 low of 7062, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained by almost 6,000 points. This means little to the average American that can barely afford to put food on the table, never mind invest in the stock market.

Everyday Independence
Although July 4th was last week, I am celebrating independence and freedom all month. (Heck, why not do our best to create a life of freedom!) Even without seeing the outdoor firework show, I continue to feel the bright light and glow into the night. This July 4th I launched my bottle rocket into space and returned with a reminder to reclaim my most important relationship, the one with myself. So, I chose to do something special. First, I went on a hilly nature walk and then to lunch. A successful date and I felt true love, for me. My wish for all of us, is we cultivate time and space to enjoy ourselves and appreciate who we are and what we contribute to our community. It is not selfish to take great care of you. Life is about celebrating ourselves and enjoying what heals and excites us. What is happiness to you? Riding a bike, being in water, reading a book, writing, chatting with a friend, make time for it. It can happen in just a few moments. Start with scheduling a 10 minute break in your day for you. Make the time, follow through and notice. Do you feel more connected? Are you lighter in your being and is there a smile on you face? Really, you are worth it!

Firstly, other golfers are angry. Why? Not only is he putting the spotlight back on himself, he's doing so on a Friday (the third day) of a PGA event. Golfer Ernie Els told Golfweek, "It's selfish ... I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament."
Oh. The sponsor. Who's the sponsor of the PGA event? Accenture, the first marketer to drop Woods after the scandal broke. Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent, told Golfweek that the move was in no way done to take away Accenture's spotlight and that the marketer was given fair warning and, indeed, was "supportive."
So how's that playing out in the media? Fox News called it "a clear slap at Accenture." ESPN calls the timing "peculiar at best." There are other examples of reality running up against perception.
Woods is also getting slammed for the controlled nature of the event: hand-picked reporters, friends and no questions allowed.
Then again, this is sports marketing we're talking about. And Tiger Woods. So despite all the moralizing going on about this, you can expect Woods to make a comeback and to do so with a full line-up of sponsors. You can bet on it.

The Sicilian club made an official complaint to the Lega Calcio about World Cup-winning defender Marco Materazzi playing in the fixture, when days earlier he had pulled out of Italy´s friendly clash with Portugal because of injury.
A statement said: "Materazzi answered the national team call-up, therefore his participation in the Catania game is considered legitimate."

Using just pet battles, I recently leveled my alt warlock from about halfway through level 85 to 90 over the last few weeks. I didn't keep perfect track, but it was between 130 and 150 battles for each level. I leveled in the Jade Forest at the Jade Temple Grounds. I chose this spot because it has a fair number of Temple Snakes (level 23 to 25) that respawn pretty reliably and I had more beasts to be upgraded than anything else, and I figured I could get a fair number of battle-stones.
After dinging 86, 87, and then 88 without a single battle-stone dropping I thought I was just incredibly unlucky, that's close to 400 battles by my calculations. When I got four battle-stones in the time it took to get halfway through level 88, I thought maybe my luck had turned around. Yet I didn't see another battle-stone at all from then to level 90, probably another 200 battles or so.
This got me thinking about the battle-stones I did see. When I first started leveling through pet battles, I figured it would be a good way to level up a bunch of my lowbie pets. I started at the bottom, my lowest-level pets would get leveled, switching out for another after each battle. I made pretty good progress through my lowbies, and by the time I had reached level 88 on my warlock, my lowest-level rare pets (I wasn't going to level anything but rares) were levels 5 and 6.
It was at this point that I had decided to change my daily trainer habit. I was going to make a team of two level 25 pets to carry a lowbie through on each of the tamer battles. This meant I had to level about a dozen pets to level 25. Over the next few days I leveled these pets to 25 while leveling my warlock at the same time. This is the only time during the whole grind to 90 that I got any battle-stones at all. Each of the pets I leveled to 25 started out at around level 16, and I leveled each pet to 25 before switching to the next.
After I had leveled those pets to 25, I switched back to my previous method of leveling my lowest-level pets, and didn't see a single battle-stone for a level and a half.
Perhaps I'm just paranoid or trying to see a pattern that isn't there, but I haven't seen a single battle-stone when leveling a pet that is far lower than the team I'm battling. Has anyone else leveled a lot of their lower-level pets in this way? Have you had the same experience? Or is it that I'm incredibly unlucky and it's a coincidence?

text: I'm literally competing with a YouTube video right now and I'm not sure how to out rank it. In fact I'd rather have it removed altogether because it seems to be pulling most of the search engine traffic, it's achieved around 1 million views from the time when the video was first uploaded in 2010 and I'm pretty sure it is eating up my potential customers because it is advertising the exact same product. 1 million views over 2 years is roughly 40K hits per month... that's killing me. I was thinking a better option may be to upload a video and get a video ranked as well as my site so that the top two results would belong to me but I'm not sure how to go about this. Anyone with any ideas? Or more important experience with such cases? PS. If that's of any help, the owner of the video has not logged in since the beginning of the year.

The San Antonio River symbolizes the heart and soul of the city. Hundreds of years ago, the river was a gathering place for Native Americans. The first civilian Spanish settlers built their homes here in the 1700s. In the late 1920s, the San Antonio Conservation Society, local government officials and business leaders realized what an asset the river could be to the growing city. Architect Robert H. H. Hugman developed River Walk plans that eventually led to construction of a 21-block section from Nueva to Lexington, completed in March of 1941, just in time for Fiesta. The project transformed downtown through beautification, preservation and flood control.
Further revitalization took place in advance of Hemisfair '68, the world's fair held in San Antonio to celebrate the city's 250th anniversary. New hotels were built and older buildings were renovated. The River Walk was extended from South Alamo Street to the convention center. Passenger river barges began operating for sightseeing tours and dining. The River Walk received national attention and set the stage for what has become one of the state's top visitor destinations.
Today, in addition to river barge cruisers, visitors can tour the River Walk by bike using the city's bike share program, B-Cycle. With more than 50 stations throughout downtown, you can tour on two wheels through both the Museum and Mission Reach. And if you are looking for a more adventurous way to tour, visitors can now kayak through the Mission Reach and South Town area of the River Walk.
In the mid 2000s, city leaders dreamed of expanding the River Walk to ultimately span 15 miles. The Museum Reach section was completed north of downtown in 2009. This 1.33-mile extension features visual and aural works of art, terraces landscaped with native plants and pedestrian access to the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the historic Pearl Brewery complex. River taxis pass through a lock and dam system to transport visitors to and from the original River Walk area.
To the south, the one-mile Eagleland section from Guenther Street to Lone Star Boulevard incorporates ecosystem restoration, a walking path and hike and bike trails. The Mission Reach section extends eight miles from Lone Star Boulevard to Mission Espada. Key to this segment is restoration of the river and its banks for aquatic life and wildlife, along with 15 miles of recreational trails, picnic and seating areas, pedestrian bridges, pavilions and portals to four Spanish colonial missions—Concepción, San José, San Juan and Espada.
Today, the River Walk exemplifies San Antonio's passion for historic preservation and adaptive reuse of centuries-old buildings. As you tour the River Walk, look for these and other notable buildings:
