Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
March 14, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Convertible , Coupe , Sedan , Performance , Wagon , BMW , Toyota , Read This According to the Toyota UK blog , engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer – product chief Tetsuya Tada – still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'" Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off. Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW .

Vehicle2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 4A)
ReviewI bought the vehicle new in 2002. Did not take long to start experiencing problems. From what I was told this was the year they decided to make changes. One in particular they used non adjustable ball joints. This led to my vehicle pulling to the right which in turn cupped my tires. Dealer replaced ball joints but would
not replace tires. Poor design in duct work. There is ample airflow from left side but barely non on right (passenger side). Was told this was by design. Had issue with AC not working, had to take to dealership several times before it was corrected. Drivers seat frame broke in two places. This happened just as vehicle was out of warranty. Replaced at my cost.
Best FeaturesExterior design. 4 wheel drive system is still among the best
Worst FeaturesImprove quality. Most of the issue with my vehicle seem to be quality and design flaws. I have had the vehicle since 2002 and have replaced rotors at least 5 times. Again was told it is a design flaw, vehicle was designed with smaller rotors than what is actually needed.

After all of the minor issues that I have had I hit a major problem with this vehicle. At approx 144,600 miles the engine lost compression. I took it to the garage and they recommend replacing the engine. Now I am between a rock and a hard place. Do I spend about $4K to replace motor, rotors and tires or just scrap the jeep and buy a more reliable foreign made suv.Report it

Petition update
Slight Changes to the Petition Overall
Feb 26, 2012 — Heads up, everyone, I'm changing the wording and the title just a bit. It's outdated, considering Derpy has indeed been changed. This petition is now about returning Derpy's scene back to normal.
I'm assuming I'll have no objections, but since changing a petition someone's already signed after it being signed has the slight potential to ruffle feathers, if I get even one message that someone's upset by the new title and message, I'll change it back.
But really... It'll be almost the same message, just post-Derpy's change.
Okay, here goes!
Also, another excellent Save Derpy petition has appeared. If you've signed this one, sign the other! Thank you, Alex Shen for creating it! Here's the link:

Muslim Ghettoisation
We live in a shrunken world and millions of people are on the move; one of our biggest challenges is how we learn to live in proximity to difference � different skin colours, different beliefs and different way of life. According to a study by COMPAS, Muslims born and educated were given the impression of outsiders. The perception among Muslims is that they are unwelcome in
A City or a locality, where Muslims are in majority is a ghetto. There is a tendency for people of similar backgrounds to live together in neighourhoods. The term�ghettoisation� is inappropriate. The original ghettos in
Immigrants are the creators of
It is often quoted by the Western media that Muslim schools ghettoizse the children, and even lead to their radicalisation if they are not integrated. There is no evidence that faith schools lead to a �ghettoized education system. In British schools, pupils are encouraged to focus too much on their similarities rather than their differences. The integrationist approach merely results in Muslims feeling that their faith, language and culture is not respected.

Often Muslim Imams perpetuate this by insisting that Muslims not assimilate. Even CAIR has called for Muslims not to assimilate, else they be tainted.

London School of Islamics is an educational Trust. Its aim is to make
British public, institutions and media aware of the needs and demands of the
Muslim community in the field of education and possible solutions.
Slough Islamic school Trust Slough had a seminar on Muslim
education and schools in Thames Valley Atheltic Centre. The seminar was
addressed by the education spokesman of MCB. I could not attend the seminar
but I believe lot of Muslims from Slough and surrounding areas must have
attended. Very soon, the Muslims of Slough will have a state funded Muslim
school but there is a need for more schools. A day will come when all Muslim
children will attend state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim
teachers as role model.
Muslim schools are not only faith schools but they are more or less
bilingual schools.
Bilingual Muslim children need to learn standard English to follow the
National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve
humanity. They need to be well versed in Arabic to recite and understand the
Holy Quran. They need to be well versed in Urdu and other community
languages to keep in touch with their cultural roots and enjoy the beauty of
their literature and poetry.
Bilingualism is an asset but the British schooling regards it as a
problem. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not
want to become notoriously monolingual Brit. Pakistan is only seven hours
from London and majority of British Muslims are from Pakistan.
More than third of British Muslim have no qualifications. British school
system has been failing large number of Muslims children for the last 60
years. Muslim scholars see the pursuit of knowledge as a duty, with the
Quran containing several verses to the rewards of learning. 33% of British
Muslims of working age have no qualifications and Muslims are also the least
likely to have degrees or equivalent qualifications. Most of estimated
500,000 Muslim school-aged pupils in England and Wales are educated in the
state system with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. Majority of them are
underachievers because they are at a wrong place at a wrong time.
Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual
Muslim teachers during their developmental periods. There is no place for a
non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. As far as higher education
is concerned, Muslim students can be educated with others. Let Muslim
community educate its own children so that they can develop their own
Islamic, cultural and linguistic identities and become usefull members of
the British society rather than becoming a buden.
We are living in an English speaking country and English is an
international language, therefore, we want our children to learn and be well
versed in standard English and at the same time well versed in Arabic, Urdu
and other community languages. Is there anything wrong with this approach?
It is not only the Muslim community who would like to send their children to
Muslim school. Sikh and Hindu communities have started setting up their
schools. Last week. British Black Community has planned the first all black
school with Black teachers in Birmingham.
Scotland's first state funded Muslim school could get the go-ahead within
months after First Munister Alex Salmond declared he was sympathetic towards
the needs and demands of the Muslim community.

It is from a VERY BIASED MEDIA SOURCE, who won a legal case against CAIR.
Take a look a anti-Cair, and the comments made by CAIR, its officials, and U.S. liberal politicians (i.e. Durban, et al.)
Yes, many media sources are very biased; regardless, they often support their claims with solid evidence. Faith and Freedom often misquotes, omits, or just totally distorts information.
However, anti-Cair is very careful not to post any evidence, but valid facts, else Whitehead will be sued again.
Also, Al-Ahram, is very biased, especially Khalid Amarah (sp), however, he does support his claims with facts, just as other "journalists" on this site do, but with numerous omissions and distortions.
Our job is to be intelligent enough to sift through the garbage for the kernels of fact.

According to your logic, Saudi Arabia should accommodate Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Pagan, Shinto, et. al also.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
When you immigrate to another land, try not to expect this new land to accommodate its guest; the guest accommodates its host, accepts its rules, or politely leaves: (admin: link was removed)

Often Muslim Imams perpetuate this by insisting that Muslims not assimilate. Really? How many Muslim Imams have you observed? It would have been a wee matured or just simply a bit wiser to say that it's something cultural. "Ethnocentricism" is quite a known phenomenon. It takes place all over the world. It's not merely some Muslim Centric-Imam-Induced disorder like everythng else wrong in our world seems to have become. It's not that just the Indians and Pakistanis stick close to their own lot in the United Kingdom despite all the kindness shown by their host. The Brits living in Spain do exactly the same. Our pobre Amrekanos can't fire at those pobre starved Iraqis unless they have their own ghetto, complete with a McDonalds in their base camp! It's all a part of our primitive herd feeling. We are barking at the Imams because we just need to bark at something.

For one thing, why would Saudi accomodate people of other faiths that only come to work in Saudi. Those people are not citizens. In fact, very few people in Saudi are not muslims so there isn't enough to accomodate in the first place.
I have also seen how Americans in other countries often live as close to a lifestyle as possible in other countries with other cultures. The Brittish are the same in this regard as well. What you are saying is muslims must assimilate, but Christians and other western people do not have to when they go somewhere different. What is wrong with someone wanting to practice their faith and culture so long as they are productive members of the society where they live?

"Ukraine has made significant progress in combating corruption in recent years and has still managed impressive reforms, prompting former Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko to say that Ukraine has changed more in the past three years than in the 20-plus years since independence in 1991. On December 13, 2016, the EU concluded that Ukraine is carrying out intense and unprecedented reforms across its economy and political system, while its democratic institutions have been further revitalized. That report, unlike years of headlines about corruption in Ukraine, did not catch the media's eye.
So why is the fixation on Ukrainian corruption? Partly because it provides a simple theme around which to organize ignorance about Ukraine, as well as a convenient rationale for Ukraine fatigue in foreign policy. Corruption provides Westerners with an attractive us versus them picture: there, the bad, corrupt Ukrainians; here, honest, virtuous Europeans and Americans. Russian propaganda has managed to spread this image of Ukraine in a bid to reduce it to an irredeemably failed state unworthy of the West's attention."

With award-show season fully underway and the Golden Globes only a day away, it's a good time to take a look at a few people, TV shows and movies that are missing from the nominees list. Some of the names might surprise you.
The television category had the biggest list of snubbed nominees this year. What was the Hollywood Foreign Press thinking?
The critical darling seems to have lost its way during Season 3. Even with some jumping-the-shark story lines, fans still clamored to watch the Showtime series. Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and the entire cast have been honored for their work over the last two years. Their absence this year is noted, so look for other shows to rise to the top.
The love is over for Mad Men. It was snubbed during Emmys season in the drama category and that lack of recognition continues into Golden Globes season. The show has been uneven over the last few seasons even though Jon Hamm continues to do excellent work on the show.
Did any new series make as big a splash in 2013 than Orange Is the New Black? Netflix created the binge-viewing show where audiences spent hours watching the prison-based series. Critics and fans loved it, but the HFP clearly did not share that love.
Breaking Bad was the must-see TV show of the summer. The entire cast pulled out an incredible final season including Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn. While both of the men were honored with nominations, Gunn was overlooked. That is a shocking oversight.
On the movie side, there were two big movies that were snubbed by the nominating committee. Let's take a closer look at who was passed over.
This movie about a black White House butler working through eight administrations garnered praise early in the season, but there wasn't any love for Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker or the film itself. They're nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award on Jan. 18.
This film has been controversial from the beginning. The Martin Scorsese-directed film clocks in at three hours, drops 506 F-bombs and glorifies sex and drugs. It isn't a film for everyone, but the studio also didn't get movie screeners out to the voting body in time. That may have contributed to the oversight.

McKINNEY, TEXAS (July 17, 2015) – Today, Assistant City Manager Barry Shelton announced the hiring of Michael Quint as Executive Director of Development Services after an extensive search and interview process. Quint has been the Planning Director in McKinney since August 2012, and he has worked with the city's planning department since 2006.
"Michael was selected from an excellent pool of candidates, and his city and industry experience has served the entire community well. We are excited about what he brings to the executive team," said Shelton.
He joined the city in 2006 as a Planner, quickly advanced to Planner II and then became Senior Planner for Development Review in 2008. During his time with the city, he has overseen the successful completion of a number of long-range planning efforts including Phase I of the Northwest Sector Study Initiative, which recently received a CLIDE Award from the North Central Texas Council of Governments, the State Highway 5 Corridor Master Plan, and the implementation of Town Center Study's vision through the adoption of a new form-based zoning code in downtown McKinney.
Quint also has helped to facilitate high-quality development in McKinney through projects in Adriatica, Tucker Hill and Craig Ranch. He has been instrumental in streamlining McKinney's development process by introducing an all-digital plan submittal and review process in the Planning Department in addition to facilitating a number of regulatory amendments aimed at ensuring the construction of high-quality developments while minimizing overall development timelines.
"I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve the city staff, the City Council and the community as a whole in this new capacity," said Quint.
Prior to joining the City of McKinney, Michael worked in the Planning and Engineering Departments for Peoria, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix).

Torrington school board discusses online learning for THS students
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, November 29, 2012
Torrington>> Last year, the Torrington School District implemented an online learning program called "Odysseyware" for students who are at risk of dropping out or who are behind in credits and classes.
At Wednesday night's Board of Education School Improvement Subcommittee meeting, school administrators, a student and parent, tutors and retired teachers gathered to discuss what is working and not working with the online learning program.
Manager and tutor of the online program Barbara Beebe presented the details of the program to the committee. According to information she distributed at the meeting, 77 students are currently enrolled in the online learning program. There are 147 total courses and out of all the students currently enrolled, six have completed six courses with a passing grade to date.
English, math, social studies, science, PE/health and elective courses are being offered, and according to Beebe, Social studies has the most students enrolled at 38, followed by electives at 33, math at 25, English at 23, PE/health at 16 and science with 12 students. According to Beebe, there are 26 juniors and seniors participating in OLP in order to graduate this December or in June 2013. According to Beebe, juniors who are in the program are just shy of having enough credits to be considered a senior, but will still be able to graduate with their peers because of the program.
According to the school district's website, to be eligible for the OLP students must be recommended by their school counselor or other school official, sign a contract, attend orientation and sign the TPS Acceptable Use Policy for Technology.
"We're meeting the needs of a lot of different types of students," said Beebe. "It was successful the first year and very successful in summer school and it is going well into the new school year," she said.
The biggest issues expressed in the meeting about the OLP is space -- there are not enough seats in the computer lab where the classes are held. The program has 25 licenses, which means there should be 25 seats for students to do their online work. However, there are only 19 seats in the school where a student can work online, and 12 are in the computer lab.
During the last academic year and during summer school, students couldn't sign on because all the computers and signon licenses were being used. A student can log onto the OLP anywhere there is an internet connection, such as at home or a public library. But students who want to do their work at school had trouble accessing the computers.
Committee chair Paul Cavagnero asked for the next meeting to "put some thought into seeing if there is any plans for Odyssey that will put in a schedule," he said. This way, students don't have to worry about not being able to work in the OLP because all the seats are taken.
Another big concern brought up at the meeting was attendance.
"A lot of our students do have attendance issues. We haven't implemented an attendance policy, but we're not going to kick students out if they miss four classes because of the nature of students we are dealing with," Beebe said.
Cavagnero said the committee is looking for ways to make better use of the program.
"We know this is a new program. We're looking for more efficient use of this program," he said.
Committee member Andrew Nargi questioned how online program compared to sitting in a classroom. He also asked if grading a student online is the same or different than the classroom.
A Torrington High School honors student who is enrolled in the OLP responded.
"This curriculum is exactly what you put into it. It challenges me the same way an honors course challenges me ... It's very much of what's in the classroom," she said.
"I do feel I am receiving the same education, just in a different way," she added.
This particular student is enrolled in the OLP because she missed most of her ninth grade year because of her health. She needed to make up academic credits, and so she enrolled in the program.
Subcommittee member Vincent Merola said students are still getting a good education whether it's in the classroom or online.
Beebe said the program grades 95 percent of the students' work and that each category is 25 percent of the students grade, including tests, quizzes, homework and participation.
"Just because it's different doesn't mean there's a diminished value," he said.
Bruce Betts, a retired Torrington High School Social Studies teacher and tutor who works in the OLP, believes he education a student receives online is appropriate school work.
"We get them in and get them involved with the work. The material they are getting is appropriate for social studies," he said.
Torrington Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko said the online learning program is keeping students in school.
"We are keeping students alive and involved in some way," she said.

Govt. must answer why Swat operation was inevitable: Imran KhanMay 18th, 2009 - 4:31 pm ICT by ANI
Lahore, May 18 (ANI): Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan has said the government will have to give an answer as to what prompted it to initiate a military operation in the Swat Valley when it could have tried restoring peace in the region through dialogue.
Talking to media persons here, the cricketer-turned-politician said his party would quiz the government during the all-party conference as to why it considered the Swat operation inevitable.
"We'll ask in the conference what made the government to go for the extreme measure and that too at a time when President Zardari was visiting US President Obama," the Dawn quoted Khan, as saying.
Khan said the government should also explain that how the extremists succeeded in their nefarious plan in the valley.
Terming the displacement of thousands of people from the valley as the 'success of the extremists', Khan said the Swat military operation was a rare event where cannons and gunship helicopters were used by a government against its own people.
He said that the army operation has further deteriorated the situation in Waziristan, Swat, Lal Masjid and Balochistan. (ANI)

Congo: government shuts down Catholic TV station
February 16, 2012
The government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has shut down a Catholic television station.
"Last Friday, we just received a letter from the minister of Information urging us to refrain from broadcasting commercial advertisement allegedly because, as a private community media, we are not allowed," said Patrick Nsiala, program officer of the RTCE television station.
Two stations associated with opposition leader Jean-Pierre Bemba were also shut down.
The government's action occurred days before a peaceful march to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the massacre of Christians by soldiers.

Artificial lighting was extremely bad for the health
A group of researchers from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, vyyasnila that too long-term continuous exposure to artificial light can lead to negative consequences for health, including immune function, muscle health, and bone and, of course, for circadian rhythms. However, experts said, and good news — apparently, these changes become irreversible, if given time to recover in conditions of alternation of day and night.

Scientists at 24 weeks put laboratory mice into the room, not continuously reported the increasing and relentless artificial light. The rest of the living conditions of rodents for nearly half a year was quite acceptable. However, comparing the health status of the mice before the experiment and after the moment when the time has come to release them from the lighted room, the scientists found that their condition has deteriorated in many aspects.
The most obvious result was the disturbance of circadian rhythms, allowing the body to work "subject to" the change of day and night, in conditions of constant illumination from such systems simply do not have sufficient guidelines. This in turn has had a negative impact on the brain of rodents.
Laboratory animals are faced with other problems. In particular, the researchers drew attention to the fact that their muscles are significantly weakened, and the bones began to wear out — this occurs during aging, but the mouse has not yet reached an age where their view it would be relatively natural. Also the animals were observed inflammatory processes which in a normal situation the immune system is "launched" only in the presence in the body of pathogenic microorganisms.
After the "main" part of the experiment mice the mice were placed in the "normal" conditions, involving natural light and also the change of day and night. As it turned out, just two weeks health rodents came back to normal. However, according to experts, this does not mean that the negative effect of too long for artificial lighting to be underestimated.
Summing up the results of their work, the results of which are presented in the journal Current Biology, specialists recommend that people "often turn off the lights".Related posts:

Fines from motorists who were snapped in camera-controlled bus and tram lanes and gates in Sheffield produced a surplus of £155,000 for the council last year, according to the latest figures.
All money was ploughed back into public transport, as required by law, says a council report.
A breakdown of the costs and income is being provided amid accusations - not only in Sheffield - that penalty charges are used to bolster the coffers of financially beleaguered local authorities.
Most of the money goes on setting up and operating restrictions that are designed to help smooth the flow of public transport, says the report. Fines are £60, or £30 if paid within 14 days.
Surpluses have helped to finance measures such as new road signs and lines, footpaths, railing and road refuges and highway surfaces and drains.
Sheffield drivers paid £688,000 last year against council spending of £533,000. The £155,000 surplus compares with £146,000 in the previous year.

Noticeable increase in power, acceleration and MPGs. Installation was fairly easy but for some reason I had extra screw and nuts(?). I used You Tube and written instructions provided. There is a loud drone sound at mid range but quiet when running low RPMs. Best music is climbing steep grade or passing on freeway. I highly recommend.

|Reviews for Emotions
| Qu33rzi chapter 3 . 6/6/2011
Corny, but I loved it.
Great job
| Faeyt chapter 3 . 4/23/2010
My least favorite out of the three so far. This one started out horribly. All the words don't need to end with 'ish'...in fact it makes me think back to Elementary school around the 3rd grade. That was the last time that I had seen writing like that. Warmish should have just been Warm, cheer-ish should have been cheery or cheer filled. The plague of "ish" also reminded me of that horrible commercial about the fish sandwiches, thanks for that splendid reminder.
Evilness should have just been evil, don't make it harder than it needs to be.
Caughting should have simply been Caught.
"gained an mischief-full..." should have been "gained a mischievous..."
"Give me back!" Should have been "Give it back!" Since she wasn't asking for him to return herself.
"Gooshy" should have been reworded, though I'm not too sure of a good word to use instead of just "goose"...maybe "goose-y".
"the brain eater simple..." should be "the brain eater simply..." though I would go without the whole "Brain eater" thing since it makes me think more along the lines of zombie instead of demon.
"signed" should be "sighed", perhaps you were typing too fast and just put the wrong letter in there.
"took its rolls..." should be "took its tolls".
"Scaring look" should be "scary look". You don't need the extra effect added in.
What were you trying to write with "Protuberating"? It isn't even a word and the only word that resembles is Protuberant, which is more like a bulge instead of "Sticking out of the can" state of being. There is a word for what you are looking for but at 1 am I'm not to sure as to what it would be. Happy hunting for your proper word though.
You tend to use the word "on" instead of "in" a lot, and I suggest you look for it before posting. It happens a plethora of times in all three chapters.
Kudos though go out to you for spelling "received" correctly, have older coworkers that don't spell it correctly. I highly suggest you get a proof reader or a beta reader to go through any more of your works before posting them. It isn't that they are bad stories, there are just a LOT of typos or blunders that could be avoided. Hope to read more of your work and I hope that you weren't too offended by the reviews I have left. They are to be a learning experience and not flames or anything negative.
| Faeyt chapter 2 . 4/23/2010
Vast improvement to the last chapter as far as typos go. Interesting plot as well, an odd little side tangent that would be entertaining to see in video or drawn out.
Tuff should have been Tough. I don't think I have to give the explanation on this misspelling. Kind of like thru and through, and only American's make this mistake.
Gracious should most likely have been Graceful. Just the wrong form of the word. Gracious has more to do with the way one conducts themselves such as "the most gracious host" while graceful has to do with how one moves.
Length should have been Lengthen. You just seemed to have dropped the last two letters on that word to make it proper.
Tong should have been Tongue. He wasn't using a cooking utensil, but a body part. Kind of like lengthen, you just seemed to have dropped the last two letters.
Cream-sess...I'm going to take a wild guess, but I'm going to say you meant that half her face was still covered in cream which probably would have worked better as "Creamed", or "cream covered".
| Faeyt chapter 1 . 4/23/2010
Interesting story, I liked it a lot and will continue to read it. Only had a few things I wanted to cover though with you.
The word Contempt I believe is the wrong one and you were probably looking for Contentment. Since Contempt is a negative reaction word I figured you just simply used the wrong one.
Witch should have been Which. You used it properly later so I guess you just typed and didn't double check.
Experimenting is another misused word. I believe the one you were looking for was Experiencing. Since he wasn't doing tests on his emotions but trying to restrain ones that he wasn't used to feeling.
of off should have been off of, you just switched them around.
Resolved should have been Revolved. When you were talking about her life revolving around him. Her emotions and daily things weren't solving things by him being there, at least not in the way that sentence would make sense.
un-enpathic, is a word I have never even heard of. I believe what you were looking for was apathetic. In the essence of that he doesn't take in others emotions since doing so would be called empathy. Also you could have used un-empathetic, which would have worked just as well.
Lastly, petit should have been spelled petite. Just another small misspell. You also had some grammar issues which could have been caught if a second reader proof read the story or if you went back through it. I would suggest you do so from now on so that there aren't as many small missteps. They weren't so horrible that they detracted from the story, but they should still be fixed otherwise it looks poorly done and not given as much time of day as maybe this story deserves.

Physical Education
Physical education is an educational course related to the physique of the human body, taken during primary and secondary education that encourages psychomotor learning in a play or movement exploration setting to promote health. It aims to develop the students' physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops the students' confidence and generic skills, especially those of collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These, together with the nurturing of positive values and attitudes in Physical Education, provide a good foundation for the students' lifelong and life-wide learning.
If you are a beginning teacher that is an advocate of the importance about the context of the subject and has the drive for teaching it to the students of the primary and secondary levels, then, we high suggest that you better start preparing for the Praxis II Physical Education Exam that is being required by many states in order for you to officially teach the subject Physical Education and become a Certified Physical Education Instructor in one of the educational institutions in your place. The exam has the purpose of measuring the candidate's knowledge, skills and abilities needed to be able to quality in teaching Physical Education so as to ensure the public that all teachers in the state are of great caliber and is capable of delivering great quality of education to the students of the United States of America.
And with the upcoming exam, we would like to lend you a helping hand to that getting that state certification won't be that too hard for you. Instead of reading through those enormously thick course book for you to extract the important points in the field of Physical Education, we have it all piled up and simplified just exactly how you want it for you to easily grasps the relevant items that will surely come out of the examination.

How ASTM Standards Are Addressing the Trend
by Ruth Heikkinen
Sustainability is all about a holistic approach to protecting
the environment. The buildings industry is thinking about sustainability,
and ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings is there to help.
What Does Sustainability Mean?
Thirty years ago, new environmental problems stemming from the
industrial revolution and the population explosion of the last
century became increasingly challenging, bringing about a new
era of environmental law in the United States and abroad. While
most early domestic statutes and international treaties addressed
environmental concerns one at a time (ocean dumping, air pollution,
endangered species, etc.), by the late 1980s it was clear that
this piecemeal approach to environmental protection had its limits.
That is, although science had clearly demonstrated that the complex
processes that determine the health of our environment are systemic
in nature and global in scale, the laws and institutions through
which we were attempting to manage these processes were far from
Confronted with the limitations of the one-problem-at-a-time approach,
governmental and industrial leaders around the world began to
consider a more holistic way of protecting the environment, which
became known as sustainable development. Recognizing that a
holistic approach would require new levels of international collaboration
on environmental issues, the United Nations hosted an Earth Summit
in June 1992 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The Earth Summit attracted
nearly all of the governments of the world, more than 100 of which
were represented by their heads of state, and resulted in two
landmark conventions on climate change and biodiversity. The 1992
summit also established sustainability as a goal leaders worldwide
supported and agreed to work toward achieving.
With this new environmental framework solidly in place, the challenge
became how to further define it so that industries and governments
could incorporate sustainable approaches to the varied types of
work they do. Lofty sustainability principles needed to be turned
into useful tools for different industries and communities. The
standards development work discussed in this article are two such
toolsgetting us a bit closer to making sustainability a reality
for the buildings industry.
What Does Sustainability Mean for the Buildings Industry?
Through mainstream news coverage, more Americans than ever are
aware of the effect energy shortages have on the costs of running
our homes and businesses. While less news coverage is applied
to the issue of the environmental costs of energy production,
those costs can also be substantialfrom fossil fuel-powered generating
plants contributions to global warming to the intransigent waste
disposal problem for the nuclear industry. While renewable sources
of power, like solar and wind, hold promise for producing energy
with fewer environmental impacts, the ability of those power sources
to contribute significantly to meeting our energy needs affordably
is likely many years away. In the meantime, efficiently using
energy in buildings through careful design and choice of building
materials could go a long way to minimizing the environmental
damage attributable to energy production. (1)
Energy use is not the only environmental concern related to the
built environment; water use (homes and offices in the United
States use an estimated 36 billion gallons [136,000,000 cubic
metres] of water per day (2)) and natural resource depletion are
others. In addition to the land required to dispose of the 136
million tons [123,000,000 metric tons] of building-related construction
and demolition debris generated per year in the United States,(3)
the amount of natural resources that are mined and harvested to
supply building materials are considerable.
The good news is that solutions to these problems can be found
in sustainable approaches to building and the industries involved
have begun to implement these solutions. The even better news
is that, properly designed, these solutions need not cost industry
or consumers more. In fact, sustainable approaches can both improve
productivity and open up new business opportunities by enabling
companies to make better use of the earths natural capitalnatural
resources and ecological systems that provide vital life-support
services to society and all living things. This natural capital,
often undervalued in todays marketplace, actually holds immense
economic value.(4)
Assessing Building ProductsASTM Standards
There are many features of a building that contribute to its sustainability,
and the products used in the building are key features. Other
features influencing sustainability include the overall efficiency
of the building, the impact the building has on both the habits
of the occupants and the microclimate. While there is ample opportunity
for ASTM to address these larger issues, the first two standards
to emerge from the three-year-old Subcommittee on Sustainability
(E06.71) of ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings address
terminology (E 2114, Standard Terminology for Sustainability Relative to the Performance
of Buildings) and selection of products used in buildings (E 2129, Standard Practice for Data Collection for Sustainability Assessment
of Building Products).
E 2129 includes a questionnaire that can be used to query product
vendors about the environmental attributes of their products.
The intent of this standard is to facilitate communication between
manufacturers and purchasers of building products. Questions on
the questionnaire involve:
Inquiries about the materials used to make the product. Was
recycled material used? Does the product meet certain requirements
for content of carcinogens and smog-promoting volatile organic
Inquiries about the process used to manufacture the product.
Were steps taken to minimize the use of non-renewable energy during
the manufacturing process? Does manufacturing the product avoid
emitting harmful levels of toxic chemicals?
Inquiries about the operational performance of the installed
product. How long will the product last if properly maintained?
Do energy-using products meet efficiency recommendations of the
federal government?
Inquiries about the products contribution to the health of
the indoor environment. How will the product contribute to the
acoustics and lighting of the space? Are there risks from installing
the product that could affect the health of workers?
Inquiries about corporate environmental policy. Does the manufacturer
have a written environmental policy? Does the manufacturer have
a program in place to facilitate recycling or reuse of the product
at the end of its life?
Addressing Challenges Presented by Alternative Building Materials
The sustainability subcommittee recently launched a new task group
that is in the process of drafting standards for earthen building
technologies. This task group is responding to the rapid growth
in interest in what is often called green building (see sidebar
3), which has created more widespread awareness of the challenges
involved in using alternative materials and methods of construction,
including earthen building technologies. People interested in
earthen building technologies often face obstacles because building
officials are less familiar with them than with conventional methods,
materials, and development practices. In some instances, because
of the lack of a large industrial base to fund research, testing,
and development, less testing and performance information is available
for building officials to use for their approvals. In many cases,
there are problematic provisions in the codes or standards regarding
these technologies. In other cases, it is the absence of code
provisions or the general structure of the codes themselves that
prove problematic.
Adobe, one earthen building technology being addressed by this
new task group, is an ancient art. In fact, the walls of Jericho,
now located in modern Israel, are adobe structures built around
8300 B.C. While examples exist of adobe structures that are still
in use and functioning after hundreds of years, this traditional
construction method is used less and less in many parts of the
world, including the United States, because of the development
of newer building materials. Traditional construction methods,
like adobe construction, utilize indigenous materials and local
craft-based skills with the goal of creating extremely durable,
energy-efficient structures. Many of the newer construction methods
common in industrialized nations involve production processes
requiring considerable investments in land, feedstock materials,
energy, and water for often less durable and energy-efficient
buildings. For these reasons, in general, construction methods
that utilize indigenous materials and local craft-based skills
contribute more to sustainability than industrialized processes
and methods.
As world population continues to rise and, along with it, the
need for basic shelter, it becomes increasingly important to facilitate
the adoption of construction techniques with lower life-cycle
environmental impacts. With the development of ASTM standards
for earthen building technologies, getting approval for constructing
such structures will be much easier, facilitating their use.
Invitation to Participate
By definition, sustainability is a holistic approach to improving
the quality of life on Earth for current and future generations.
In order to effectively pursue this lofty goal, it is important
that a wide variety of organizations, representing diverse interests
and industries, work together. So far, participants in the work
of the sustainability subcommittee have come from an impressively
wide range of interests, but there is always room for more involvement.
The more diverse the range of participants in this work, the better
the resulting standards will be.
To participate in the work of the ASTM Subcommittee on Sustainability,
please contact the Subcommittee Chair Dru Meadows (phone: 918/599-0011). //

In 1987, the World Commission on the Environment and Development
(also referred to as the Brundtland Commission), published Our
Common Future, which included the definition of sustainable development
that has been widely adopted in a number of documents, including
ASTMs new Standard Terminology for Sustainability Relative to
the Performance of Buildings (E 2114): a form of development
that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sidebar 2
Who Will Use the Data Collection Standard?
Building industry professionals who possess a broad, general understanding
of sustainability issues relative to the performance of buildings
will. These professionals may include planners, developers, architects,
engineers, interior designers, contractors, building owners, and
representatives of financial organizations, building materials
and product manufacturers, and government agencies. While the
standard provides a useful tool for these audiences, it cannot
replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction
with professional judgment.
Sidebar 3
What Are Green Buildings?
Often used as a synonym for sustainable building, a green building
is defined by ASTM standard E 2114 as a building that provides
the specified building performance requirements while minimizing
disturbance to and improving the functioning of local, regional,
and global ecosystems both during and after its construction and
specified service life.
Sidebar 4
Do you have experiences with green building youd like to share?
The first comprehensive effort to gather information about barriers
to alternative building technologies is currently under way, led
by ASTM member David Eisenberg, vice chair of E06.71 and his organization,
the Development Center for Appropriate Technology. The goal of
this survey, accessible online by visiting the DCAT Web site,
www.dcat.net, is to provide information that will help assess
and prioritize the barriers that need the most attention. Expected
results from this survey include a range of activities and actions
such as specific code change proposals, the development or modification
of standards, additional focused educational efforts and support
for specific research, and testing and development programs to
bridge the gaps in knowledge or information revealed by the survey.
Builders, architects, building officials, landscape architects,
materials manufacturers, engineers, and all those interested in
green building are invited to participate in this survey. The
expected data collection period is through Aug. 31.

Re: History behind surname
In reply to:
History behind surname
In France, the "e" in Lamble has an accent.Thus in French, the name sounds like Lambley.My grandfather signed his name with the accent after first arriving in the US.Later, typewriters became common and American typewriters did not have "e" with an accent.It soon became common for most of French origin to simply sign their names with just the letter "e" (no accent).
We would like to establish a link between the French and English Lamble families but so far the data eludes us.
Thank you

Hi! Wanted to share my story!!!
This is my little 7 month old nursling, Taytum. Our journey hasn't been easy but so worth it! I hope to make it to 2 yrs! Taytum was born via c section and transported to a bigger hospital with a nicu. We were separated for 2 days until I could get to her. I pumped around the clock to get my supply going and finally on day 4 I was able to breastfeed her. She latched like a pro and the rest is history:) she's my longest breastfeeder and I'm so proud!!!!! She was born at 8 lbs 12.7 oz, dropped to 7 lbs 13oz..now weighs 14 lbs 14oz as of 3 weeks ago.

Precious!!! Congrats and I just love your dedication!!!
Can I ask why she had to go to a NICU
She is beautiful! I just made it to 1 year nursing my first baby :) it's really exciting! Congrats!
I had the flu and they were worried she would have it and it was a community hospital.

Chatting with 'Dancing With the Stars' Executive Producer Conrad Green
Chatting with 'Dancing With the Stars' Executive Producer Conrad Green
Thanks for posting.
Bill Clinton on "Dancing With the Stars"? Yeah, like Hillary would allow that to happen! LOL
I bet I know which judge he'd be focusing on. Thanks
Oh, that would be classic if they could get Clinton on there. I don't see it happening, but still.
Thanks for the link, cabernet!
It was me. I let the dogs out.
There have been a lot of media stories, especially recently, about Dancing With The Stars.
Have you seen a story on Tv, saw the cast make an appearance on another Tv show, or have you read something in a magazine or newspaper, about DWTS? Feel free to talk about it here.
Please limit it to print and Tv media, not other websites. Thanks!!
Did anyone else catch tonight's Larry King Live? The show was a 'tribute' to Dancing With the Stars, and from the show they had Tom Bergeron, Carrie Ann Inaba, Emmitt & Cheryl, and Mario and Karina live. I didn't see the first half of it, as I'm not a regular Larry King watcher. But while channel surfing on the half hour, I ran across it.
For the half hour I saw, it was very interesting. Some observations:
Cheryl seemed like such a sweetheart, very down to earth, no ego at all, seemed very appreciative of the opportunities the show has given her, and very appreciative of the abilities of her partners. She also came off as very poised and collected, not the least intimidated by Larry King or the interview format of the show. Poor gal, in one part of the show, she gave Larry King a brief lesson in how to cha-cha-cha, and her and Larry did a short session of that. (Larry, don't quit your day job)
Emmitt was the same on this show as every other time I've seen him: very charming, personable, and very intelligent. Both he and Cheryl noted that one of the things that they share and that makes them a winning team is that they both have strong work ethic, that they both hit the work as soon as they step into the studio. If they're there 8 hours solid, they work 8 hours solid, their work ethic is so strong. He noted that they have a lot in common, and he liked her desire to succeed that comes from within, which he says they also share. Both Emmitt and Cheryl showed strong respect for each other, as well as an easy going comraderie between them.
Mario was actually more relaxed than I've seen him in interviews since the season began. He laughed several times, was charming and relaxed. He and Karina stated that the bond they shared as partners was that they are both hyper and tend to do things passionately. Mario also said they share the wild sense of humor between them.
Karina .. meh. Nothing much going on there. Not much personality, no charm. She seemed out of her element, to be honest. She didn't have as much to say as Cheryl, Emmitt, or Mario, which is probably just as well, as she didn't seem comfortable on camera.
Emmitt, Cheryl, Mario, and Karina all agreed that chemistry was an important element for being a good dancing couple.
Carrie Ann was Carrie Ann. She explained a bit more about her process in the judging, how when she gives her comments after the dancer, she tries to give each couple something specific to work on or keep doing. When asked about Mario and Emmitt and what she thinks of their dance skill, she basically gave the same answers as the fluff piece on the results show a couple of weeks ago.
Tom Bergeron was personable and likeable as ever. He said that one of the things he most enjoys about the show was how dynamic it was during the live broadcast. That is, he's very aware of everything that's going on as it happens, how much there is to listen to. For instance, during Samantha's backstage interviews, he listens closely to what's being said (in case there's anything I can rip off) and stays focused on what the judges are saying so he can keep a rein in if needed because sometimes Len and Bruno can get a bit cranky. He said that last season when he and Ashley Del Grosso performed the quickstep, he did that because he wanted to know in his own head what the celeb dancers go through to put together a routine, what it's like, etc. He obviously gets a great deal of enjoyment from the show, by his responses and statements.
A few other interesting tidbits... Len and Bruno weren't there because each week those two also fly and forth to England to do their duties on the British version of the show. So they do the USA DWtS as well as the British version each week. Tom says he's surprised they aren't more cranky than they are sometimes
The professional dancers (Cheryl, Karina, Max, et al) are paid weekly, for as long as they're on the show. Once they're eliminated, the paychecks stop unless they appear in another segment without their celeb partners.
There is a dress code for the audience for the shows. ABC wants the show to be a dress-up event right down to the audience members. That's why you never see anyone in the audience wearing jeans or t-shirts, etc.
It was in interesting show, and I'm going to try to catch the whole thing when they replay it again, whenever that will be. I wish I had caught the first half hour.
______________________________ ______________________
Edited to add: Just to add to who appeared on this show, in the first half hour that I didn't catch: Also appearing in Larry King Live's tribute to DWtS in the first half hour of the show were Joey Lawrence, Monique Coleman, and Jerry Springer. Mario and Karina, thought they were live on the show, were being taped from West Hollywood, FL, which Larry said was only about a mile and a half from where the show was being aired live, but Mario and Karina claimed to be working too hard to come that short distance and appear in person.

I missed the first 20 minutes of the show. Larry said it will repeat on Sunday.Originally Posted by Nemeses;2137208;
One thing I noticed is that Mario seemed more comfortable and charming during the interview. He did not give off that arrogant vibe that some people have said they sense with him.
I'm going to try to catch the beginning of the show on Sunday.
I think Mario and Emmit are both deserving winners. I can't wait to see what Cheryl choreographs for the finale. I remember last year her cowboy dance blew everyone away.....
Yeah.......Cheryl did a great job sealing the win last year!
I have a question for those more dedicated.......
My mother says she saw Mario, his mother, and Karina on tv handing an "engagement " party invitation to the interviewer.......she claims the words came out of Mario's mouth and that his mother said they were a wonderful couple....
On Larry King, they claim to not even be dating.....
Does anyone know the real scoop???
Some reporter said "they said they were not an item, but you coulda fooled me".
On last week's show, Karina called Mario "honey". It was during the interview segment backstage with Samantha. Mario's face went from shocked to embarrassed, to angry, to holding in the anger, to trying to pretend nothing happened. It was priceless.
I have no idea of course, but just from that and body language and various other things/rumors, I'd say yes, they are, but he's not ready yet to confirm that. And I'd also say Karina just might give him a run for his money. Lol. He may have met his match.
On Larry King, by the way, they had Monica, Joey, Emmitt, and Mario was on remote camera somewhere. Joey was talking a mile a minute, a bit hyper. He said he began the show just to be able to dance well enough to dance with his wife and is looking forward to doing that, now. Mario and Emmitt will both do a Samba next week and both a freestyle dance. Mario will add a Paso Doble and Emmitt will add as his third dance, a Mambo.
Jerry was also interviewed, from Chicago and was funny as usual. (One joke he made: He said the producers told him not to do any splits or lifts. He said as if, and that the only splits he did all season were in his pants, when he bent over too far.
Yeah......I caught the "honey" remark at the time, but I didn't notice Mario being bothered by it. Also, on a couple of their clips they were holding hands, he kissed her during one of the rehearsals, and another time it appeared he was leaning over her and kissing her by a pool.......thats whats confusing. I don't know why they would deny anything personal, unless its part of their contract.....
Max and Willa never CONFIRMED they were dating either when they were still competing, so maybe they're simply not allowed to say.....who knows???
And, yes, I agree......I think Karina is MORE than his match.....They won't last long though, two hot tempers never do...........

THEATRE: Charles Ross the Weird Al of The Lord of the Rings
In the matter of using other people's intellectual property as the basis for your own work, it has been said that it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission – but the actor who's bringing the "One Man Lord of the Rings" back to town can attest that this is not the case.
"They're scary people to deal with," says Charles Ross of the powers that be that allow him to do what he does. "They don't f— around. They mean business. And some dude like me trying to be a one man Lord of the Rings, I felt like some beetle, some grub, asking for permission from a lion."
But he got it, just as Lucasfilm eventually granted a license to do his first longform parody, One Man Star Wars – after he had already started doing it, "which has been the source of all the headaches in my life," Ross says. "I got lucky twice."
Apparently, "fair use" only applies if you're using less than 20% of the original work, so everyone from Weird Al to the Harvard Lampoon to any creator of fan fiction is technically required to get permission. Ross relates a sad episode of a troupe he knew in Chicago that was all already to mount a big production Star Wars musical without having made a single contact with Lucasfilm. They were shut down with a court order just before opening night, lost all the money they'd put into the show. Evil Empire at work? Not so fast, Ross says.
"If they start to loosen the reins on their only successful franchise, they create precedents that allow other people to do the exact same thing," he says. "I have no doubt in my mind that the Star Wars musical would not been shut down if they had got permission. From all I understood, it was a good show."
It is also quite a remarkable show that Ross is bringing to the Arden Theatre on Wednesday. It comes off precisely as billed: The Lord of the Rings, all three novels that were made into a trio of very long movies is performed, in its entirety, by one guy and only minimal props. It is hilarious as it stands. He throws in lots of his own jokes, too – like that climactic moment in the films where Frodo and Sam have just completed their quest to destroy the One Ring and are waiting for certain death on the slopes of Mount Doom. Frodo turns to Sam and says, "I'm really glad to be here with you, Samwise Gamgee," to which Sam responds, "Mr. Frodo, are we gay?"
Sure, it's juvenile, Ross says, "But all my gay friends like it."
And now, he says with some pride, his shows are officially licensed entities of the respective rights holders. These are by far the most successful shows Ross has ever done as an actor or writer – not bad from something that started as "shits and giggles."
Inspired by a friend who did a "deadly" impression of Capt. Kirk for a Star Trek-themed Fringe play, the idea to do put the same spirit to Star Wars started back in 1994 when Ross came to Toronto to help some friends with a radio script. They were about 20 minutes short on material, so he came up with what he thought would be an amusing five minute sketch.
"When I sat down to write something, it was a hell of a lot longer," Ross says. It turned into a 20-minute play, was expanded to an hour and pretty much an instant hit wherever it played. Then he got the little note from Lucasfilm: "What's going on? We're interested, give us a call." They worked out an agreement, liked what they saw (and they liked the Robot Chicken parodies, too) and now Ross has to pay royalties – a "pittance to them." Soon came The One Man Lord of the Rings, and even more of a pittance required for the Tolkien people despite the complexity of the copyright arrangement, and another big hit. It played to packed houses at the 2008 Edmonton Fringe Festival.
What's next? One Man Twilight? One Man Harry Potter?
"That's the hard thing," Ross says. "When you've had a little bit of success at something, it feels like, yeah this is what I do."
He says he's learned that no matter how carefully you plan your career trajectory as an artist, sometimes it goes off in another direction and you just have to follow. Why fight it? When it comes to another One Man Show, he says it probably won't be Harry Potter. Crucial to making this sort of thing work is a genuine love for the original stories. Ross has tried, for instance, to insert some fresh material into his One Man Star Wars show, incorporating elements from the three new films, "but because I didn't really like the new films as much as the old ones, I started putting mean spirited jokes in there. And I thought, shit, Lucasfilm is going to get really mad if I start poking fun at how terrible the news ones are, so I stopped doing that."
Luckily he likes The Hobbit, and you had to see this coming.
"The more I watch it, the more ideas I get," Ross says. "I also reread the The Hobbit, a bunch other stuff, even The Silmarillion. It sounds like boring rehash, but it isn't. It's joyful."

When he first went off about cardio boxing I thought he was joking around, so I made this thread to see what he had to say, and it turns out he was pretty retarded. I am surprised he kept on posting, the stuff he was saying kind of reminded me of chrono, or mistery shadow(that's how he spells his name). Why even post about how cool you think something is if it's called cardio boxing? I was thinking tae bo Billy Blanks right away. Then he pulled out that stuff about some Indian yoga boxer named after a horse and well, it was ridiculous. If anyone lives in Montreal where he listed that address, you should see if that school really exists for one. If it does, let me know how goofy it is. He said he was going to post video but I doubt that will ever happen, I will try to find something on it though.I'm not skinny I just have a lot of sharp points that pay off. Especially during any choke using the forearm.

Either that kid doesn't know street names or that boxing school does not exist.I'm not skinny I just have a lot of sharp points that pay off. Especially during any choke using the forearm.
4/10/2006 12:23pm, #38
He does know about the main street here called Papineau. That's why I knew he was a Montrealer. The location he mentioned is on the other side of the Island of Montreal .It's not exactly like I can sweep by and see it; thats if it even exists. Maybe, if I'm passing by this week I might decide to check it out. Maybe! I just dont see if its worth wasting precious gas for it.
I just assumed that he hates this instructor at the Cardio-Boxing place and wanted some anonymous goon to go down and beat him up in front of his class.[img=http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2364/8026700123940loij9.th.jpg]

yeah I googled it too and got nothing. I tried googling the guy and found a bunch of horse stuff. However googling cardio boxing pops up a bunch of stuff you would expect but no secret focus your blood yoga boxing. I seriously think he was making the whole thing up. Why would he keep on posting even after I wrote a haiku about how stupid it was? I don't really think it would be worth your time because I don't think it exists.I'm not skinny I just have a lot of sharp points that pay off. Especially during any choke using the forearm.

The naturally-brunette beauty, who is known for wearing some very convincing wigs, just debuted her new blonde 'do on Instagram and this time, she's not just messin' with us! How do we know? Because she said so...
"Took months of not dying my hair and wearing wigs to get my hair back to health so I can do this! Thank you @priscillavalles @maishaoliver for putting up with me all day," she captioned the photo above. "I'm going for an ashy dirty blonde for the fall. But this sh**s a process!" Girl, we know the struggle! It is a long, very involved and very expensive process, but it's worth it in the end.
She also joked that she's about to out-blonde her older sis, saying, "I'm coming for u khloe!"
We are actually so excited that Kylie finally took the plunge and went blonde for real. She wore a platinum blonde wig at her 18th birthday party and usually when someone makes a drastic change like that, it usually takes a minute to get used to. Not in this case - Kylie slayed with those platinum locks and the look just totally suited her.
Of course, pretty much every color she's chosen so far has looked stunning on her, so she couldn't really go wrong, but this went very, VERY right.

Eco farmer Edward Whitfield is pushing ahead with his venture to produce renewable energy on his farmland at The Delph in Spalding and at Market Deeping.
When we spoke to Edward a year ago, he had put solar panels on his grain store roof, which were creating 63kW of electricity, and he was one of just a couple of local farmers growing miscanthus, a crop used as biomass fuel by power stations.
During the year Edward has added more solar panels and a couple of small wind turbines to create extra revenue for the farm, but says: "One of the problems with all this is not just the building, the planning complications and the difficulty of actually dealing with some of the government bodies to register and commission these projects. We are still having problems with certification with Ofgen so that we can actually get the feed-in tarrifs." Yet farmers could be helping to contribute as much as a quarter of renewable energy targets in future, according to the NFU.
