News & Interviews for The Fighting Temptations
Critic Reviews for The Fighting Temptations
All Critics (110) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (47) | Rotten (63) | DVD (8)
This is a bellyaching, foot-stomping, hoot-and-hollering movie for any crowd.
You may not be dancing in the aisle, but at least you won't be tempted to flee the theater.
This is an exhilarating musical -- but it's dragged into Thumbs Down territory by a dreadful story that creaks along between the rousing gospel numbers.
The only real question in this flaccid narrative ... is when everybody will stop talking and start singing again.
May not be great cinema, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Has practically nothing to recommend it save its music: Take that away and Jonathan Lynn's movie is as ordinary as an unsold TV pilot episode. But what music.
Audience Reviews for The Fighting Temptations
Good story, bad film.
Super Reviewer
Could've been funnier. Yet, when it comes to Gooding Jr. picking good films, this is simply a wiser choice compared to some of the films he has choosen..not saying any certian films...(SHADOWBOXER)...lol..I didnt say anything...
Super Reviewer
An incredible movie on how an executive finds himself going in one direction while his lost religious "soul" takes him into another direction. Hilarious at times....enjoyable in others. See this for the soul of it! LOL!

Mindfulness at Clare
What is Mindfulness?
Life, particularly Cambridge life, can be full of stresses: work, finance, relationships, social life, not enough time… While we may not be able to change those external factors, if we change how we react to them in ourselves we can give ourselves more space, more contentment, more open-heartedness. Mindfulness is being present with our experience in the moment as we live it, an awareness that lets us start to take control of how we respond both to our own thoughts and emotions and to what is happening around us, and to do so with more kindness towards ourselves and others. There is a large body of research now that shows that the practice of mindfulness changes the structure and functioning of the brain itself, leading to greater happiness and quality of life, and less stress, anxiety and depression. Anybody can benefit from practising it, not just those who are stressed or depressed. Although it takes time to learn and practise, it also gives time back: it makes people more efficient and gives them more energy.
If you want to know more about what mindfulness is and what it can do for you, the Mental Health Foundation has an excellent podcast If you want more of a feel of how mindfulness can enrich life, you might listen to Richard Hunt's eulogy for Jim Henson or 'This is water' .
Mindfulness courses
The aim of these courses is two-fold:
- to give people a taste of meditation and mindfulness and the principles behind them. They include a range of different meditation techniques, including some which take a couple of minutes, or can be done while getting on with some other activity.
- to think about ways in which we can look after our minds and emotions. How can we help ourselves to enjoy our lives more and get more out of them? How do stress and other difficult emotions develop? How can we avoid or reduce them and deal with them when they are present? We discuss processes and strategies, not the specifics of problems. These are not therapy groups!
I have practised and taught mindfulness meditation for many years, including for the last six years in Clare, and as a tutor and DOS in Clare I also have a lot of experience of talking to stressed students. I've found that thinking through the problems, and the strategies for dealing with them, can make a very helpful difference, and adding in mindfulness techniques makes a bigger difference still. People who have done these courses (or at least the people who gave me feedback on them) have found they were able to use some of what they had learnt to real effect.
The course consists of seven sessions lasting up to an hour and a quarter, with an additional short individual session once during the course to give people an opportunity to discuss any questions they have in more detail than is possible in a group. It's best if people can come to all the sessions if possible. There is also some homework: meditation practice every day, as far as you can manage it, some meditation exercises that take a couple of minutes or can be done while getting on with other activities, and some things to investigate about how your mind and emotions work and what helps for you.
After the course, those who want to continue and develop their mindfulness and meditation further can join an ongoing weekly group or the CU Mindfulness Society or a range of other groups.
Courses for students
I will be running two parallel introductory courses this Michaelmas Term and perhaps a special interest course for people with a particular kind of issue: sleep problems, stomach problems, or fatigue. The first introductory course is on Tuesdays 5.30pm - 6.45pm from 9 October–27 November, and the second on Thursdays also from 5.30 - 6.45pm from 1–29 November and 17–31 January. If you would like to come to an introductory course, please contact me at email@example.com as soon as possible, and at the latest by Saturday 6 October, telling me:
- why you're interested
- if you have any mental health issues you think I should know about
- that you commit yourself to attending at least 6 of the 8 sessions and to practising meditation every day as far as you are able to
- whether you can attend on Tuesdays or Thursdays or either day.
Please also contact me if you have any questions.
If you might be interested in a special course, please contact me by 20 October, letting me know why you're interested, and if you feel you need to be in a small group or would be OK with a larger one. I will get back to you as soon as I have a clear picture of what is needed.

vegie bar
380 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy 3065
(03) 9417 6935
Any self-respecting vegetarian knows that when you're looking for a good vego meal, you must follow the hipsters, and Brunswick Street is proof of this. This cosmopolitan street in Fitzroy is textbook Melbourne, with hole-in-the-wall bars, unique boutiques and obscure night clubs, not to mention the endless vegetarian fare. Perhaps the most popular of these is the Vegie Bar.
I've got to say, the first time I tried the Vegie Bar, I had already built it up far too much in my mind. I heard about it last year from an omnivorous friend, who professed that the fake chicken there was amazing. And we all know that if a non-vego approves, it must be seriously legit food. I delayed visiting, however, because quite simply I'm a very lazy person and Brunswick Street is a whole thirty minute walk. When I finally made the journey there earlier this year, however, I realised that the least of my problems was my lack of motivation – this place is seriously popular and getting a table can be excessively difficult. When I arrived at about 6 on a Friday night, it was immediately obvious that my chances of eating were slim; not only was there a long line of hungry people waiting to get a table inside, but it was so packed that even the waiting area was full so people had to wait outside in the cold for an hour at the least. We decided it wasn't worth it and ended up getting Thai food but it made me even more determined to try this vegetarian bounty.
So I was a little surprised when I arrived for dinner the other day to find that we were seated immediately. Admittedly, even though I knew that this was a fully vegetarian restaurant, I was still completely taken aback when I realised I could eat anything from the menu. After years of making difficult decisions at restaurants as to whether I'd like this one vego option that inconveniently contains the only vegetable I don't like or nothing, I found it very hard to choose at this excessively hip restaurant. I ended up going with the gyoza dumplings for an entree, the lentil burger for my main (after the waiter gave me a five-minute-long spiel about how good it was) and the sticky date pudding for dessert.
The gyoza dumplings arrived almost as soon as we order them but honestly, they didn't taste all that different from the many super-cheap dumplings that I've eaten in Chinatown. The serving size was a little disappointing too, with only three on the plate that I was sharing with a friend. I was ridiculously keen for the burger too, but I found it to be a bit of a let-down as well. The lentil patty fell apart as I was eating it and I couldn't at all taste the satay sauce used. It was a lot of effort with very little pay off. On the other hand, I tried some of my friend's Mexican burrito and it was delicious, filled with beans and cheese and all of that good stuff. My other friend's Asian noodle dish with fake chicken was pretty damn tasty too, with the chicken living up to its reputation, even though it was a little chewy.
Dessert was probably my favourite part of the meal. I shared the sticky date pudding but found myself wishing that I hadn't – I wanted it all to myself. Maybe I just have a soft spot for this dish but it was done well, with the standard icecream and whipped cream on the side.
As a side note, I'm keen to try the Vegie Bar again because despite my experience, reviews over on the blog, where's the beef? are just so ecstatic about it, I feel like my disappointing meal was a rare thing.
EDIT: The other night I went back to the Vegie Bar. This time I had the fake chicken wrap and it was great – much better than my last visit. If every experience was like this one, I'd give it 40/50 but it's still hit and miss so my original score stands.
- Taste: 7/10
- Nutrition: 7/10
- Atmosphere: 8/10
- Cost: 8/10
- Convenience: 2/10
- Overall: 32/50
Conclusion: Tasty. Worth trying.

He conveyed India's position to visiting Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Jose Graziano da Silva whom he urged to take the lead in protecting the interests of the poor and farmers at the World Trade Organisation. During the meeting with da Silva, Modi said India wants active participation of FAO in addressing the emerging challenges in Indian agriculture and in designing a special campaign targeted at women in India, which would highlight ways to improve nutritional value and food habits.
"India does not stand in the way of a rule-based global trade agreement, but India cannot sacrifice the interests and food security of the poor and the farmers," Modi said when da Silva called on him, according to a PMO statement. In the WTO talks in Geneva in July, India had taken a tough stance on the issue of foodgrain holding and food subsidy after which the US blamed it for failure of the negotiations.
The 160 members of WTO had gathered there to adopt a treaty to simplify, standardise and streamline the rules for shipping goods across borders, having previously agreed to its terms at a ministerial conference on the Indonesian resort island of Bali last December. However, India refused to agree to the text because it wanted more attention paid to its concerns over WTO limits on stockpiling of food which will ultimately hit its subsidised food distribution programme, the worlds largest, targeted at nearly 850 million people.

The Big Move
In August of 2007 my family and I moved.
Big deal, lots of people move.
We moved 1400 miles away from everything we knew – to a place where we knew nothing.
The entire journey was one of upheaval, good times, finding ourselves, blah blah blah blah blah. Most importantly, it was the first proactive step we took towards being happy.
Anyway – here's some of what you might have missed:
- Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush – Should We Go Or Should We Stay Now?
- House 1 Goes On The Market
- The First Offer. Kind Of. Almost. Sort Of.
- Packing Up The Shoes…
- Stinky Manual Labor – Or, What You Endure To Get A House Ready
- The Weekend We Sold 2 Houses And Bought Another One
- A Tour Of The OMG I BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE!
- Very Next Post: What The Hell Am I Thinking? Can we say… neurotic much?
- Finding A Pediatrician… from 1400 miles away.
- Then FEMA tried to kill me by declaring our house in a Flood Zone.
- Moving Day
- How My Mom And I Say Goodbye
- The Gypsy Blood
- Moving In – and the first real glimpse at how hard this would be.
- Day One Of Our New Life
- Adjusting to Life Without Grandparents
- After 2 months, it's still not home
- Making Friends
- Florida vs. Iowa: A Photo Essay
- Meeting The Neighbors
- Dating More Grown Ups
- Making More Friends
Oh my GOD I talked a lot about moving.
And really? There is MORE!
But.. wow… um… I'm kind of embarrassed now.

The number of planned layoffs at U.S. firms plunged by 32 percent in December to the lowest monthly total in more than 13 years, a report on Thursday showed.
Employers announced 30,623 layoffs last month, down from 45,314 in November, according to the report from consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
The last time employers announced fewer job cuts was June of 2000, when 17,241 planned layoffs were recorded.

The figures come a day ahead of the closely-watched U.S. non-farm payrolls report, which is forecast to show the economy added 196,000 jobs in December.

The Car That Runs Good On Lemon Pie .
Created Wednesday, June 6, 2012
" I am so disgusted, and tired of buying gasoline," said grand ma.
" We should create , and engine that can run on lemon pie," said grand pa.
" Grand pa, don't get on my nerves. Watch you're nature programs , and drink you're soda pop , and shut up," said grand ma .
" I am hungry grand ma. Do we have any lemon pie left in the refrigerator ? " Asked grand pa .
" Why sure honey. Yes we do. I am going to bed. Eat some pie," said grand ma .
Grand pa discovered a large lemon pie in the refrigerator so he took it down to the garage where they had, and old model T automobile. Even though grand ma, and grand pa were up in years , they never bought a late model car. Once in a while they still drive the model T that was handed down to them by grand ma's aunt Rose before she passed on to Heaven.
Rarely do they use a car . Their grand children, and great grand children take them anywhere they want to go, but grand ma, and grand pa worry about gas that their grandchildren must buy to take them places. Grand ma does what she can to help the young ones buy gasoline by dishing out money to help them out, but money does not grow on trees.
Grand pa was disgusted. He opened the old hood of the model T, and began tinkering around to remove parts here , and there. He messed around with the old fashioned carburetor, and water pump, and oiled the accelerator peddle until he somehow managed to stick a slice of lemon pie into the gas tank of their car .
The next morning grand ma was looking for a slice of pie for breakfast.
" Oh no grand pa, did you eat up all the pie again honey ?" Asked grand ma. " You ate up all our lemon pie sweetie ."
" Why did you have to eat it all ? Did you have problems with you're nerves again ?" Asked grand ma .
" The pie is in the car grand ma, and the car runs fine. No more will we have to buy foreign fuel from our life savings. They can keep their stinking expensive gasoline," said grand pa.
" Have you lost you're mind ! " said grand ma.
" You have just endangered our lives," said grand ma.
" Just wait until the people who make trillions of dollars on gasoline find out that you experimented around with our car, and have customized it to run on lemon pie. If you are not nuts, or full of baloney, or if you are not pulling my leg, then we are goners unless you can forget all you're crazy ideas ," said grand ma.
Poor old grand ma, and poor old grand pa cranked up their sputtering model T as it began to run like a Swiss watch on grand ma's delicious lemon pie. Like frightened children they were scared to death to drive to New York city from their humble home in Kansas. Constantly grand ma, and grand pa looked in their rear view mirror as they carefully drove way under the speed limit on their destination to the big apple.
A cop stopped grand pa. " Why the heck are you driving this old junker on a busy highway young man , " said a smarty pants patrol officer.
" Do not get sarcastic with my husband officer. You know very well my husband is elderly, and not a young man ,and that we are both wise elderly," said grand ma .
" Be silent unless you want a ticket," said grand pa.
" You two be very careful on the road, and drive at least thirty miles per hour ," said the fancy patrolman.
It was ,and interesting long week , but they lived to drive to the New York Times newspaper office to publicly tell a newspaper editor about their pie, and how it makes their car run so good.
Their pie was delicious. Maybe their car wanted to taste some of it too. Grand ma, and grand pa were sad selling their car , but they eventually sold it to the Smithsonian Institute after fuel researchers , and modern engineers closely examined grand pa's customized carburetor recipe. They received millions of dollars in cash . People all over the world ran their cars on lemon pie because of grand ma, and grand pa.
Grand ma, and grand pa lived wonderful wealthy lives even though the U.S. government had to relocate them to a secret hide away for their safety .
So somewhere in the world grand pa is watching television with his favorite lemon pie right beside his remote control. Grand ma, and grand pa also bought a play car that their grand baby drives around their house that runs on apple sauce.
I enjoyed the story but now I have a real hankering for some lemon pie! I make terrible pies too. My mom was a great pie maker so you'd think I could come up with a decent one but my crust is either soggy or too tough. Funny and cute story though!
Dear stars,
This has got to be my favorite on all your humorous stories, a real classic! You did well my friend...I needed some laughs today and you provided well!
I am reminded of Red Green the Handyman, he is crazy funny. Are you familiar with him - he's fun to watch on YouTube.
Anyway, thanks for this special one-of-a-kind classic. Love it, just loved it! The end was great - apple sauce, ha! That really clenched it!
Hi my friend, just when i think you can't top what you wrote last time you do ! Thanks for this fun hub . GBY !
Vote up and more !!!
So silly! I needed that.
Hi Stars: What can a say? Another of your zany hubs...that must have been some pie! You always make me smile and chuckle

We've seen the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active leak our a few times already, including a surprisingly lengthy hands-on video of the S5 Active in a dude's truck (how appropriate, huh?), so what's one more? We've seen the back of this phone before, but only in that video, so what we have now is a better look — a still photograph, if you will — of the front and back of the Galaxy S5 Active.
Like the previous leaks, this one appears destined for AT&T, though we've also heard it may go to Sprint. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, which was more or less a waterproof version of the S4 with an LCD screen and physical home buttons, the S5 Active looks to be take its name seriously, with a more rugged appearance.
Whether those rubber-looking bumpers on the top and bottom are enough to truly earn the "Active" name, we can't say for sure. But it certainly looks the part. Check out the source link below for a few more shots.

text: Okay guys someone help me out. I bought a 15" PowerBook from Craigslist a month ago and everything is swell. The guy said the iLife 05 installer was on the computer so I was dandy with that. Everything works as excepted, except for GarageBand. Unfortunately GarageBand is the only installer NOT in the iLife folder he left me. Doh! GarageBand says: "The Instrument File is invalid. GarageBand expects a valid Instrument Library folder in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand. Please choose a valid Instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GarageBand." Well I looked and there was no GarageBand folder there. So I tossed in the entire GarageBand folder from my G5 (which includes the Instrument Library Folder and in turn the Plug-In Settings, Sampler, and Track Settings folders). However this didn't cut it and I get the same message. So: 1) What files should be where and could I just copy all of 'em from my G5 over? 2) Is there a way to download an upgrade that might fix this application (yeah it's already 2.0.2)? 3) Well you know what 3 is. And since this isn't #warez, get in touch if you can help. Thanks, SiD

Brian Metatron AKA Brian Clarence Hartlen is a multi-instrumental progressive electronic musician from the West Coast of Canada. His debut album Transcend was released October 30 2015. It was produced by Brad Wutke, Joey Chaos and A. Walker.
Transcend is a mix of progressive rock, industrial and electronic beats. Brian's belief is that music can speak to us on a subconscious level much deeper the just the black and white keys. He strives to make music that is dense and universal, taking bits of jazz, classical, progressive, tribal and electronica to craft his vision.
Brian has performed as a multi-instrumentalists in numerous band including guitar for Tribal Machine and drums for Joey Chaos & The Ghosts. He is trained in sitar, cello and percussion and has honed multiple vocal techniques including the circular breathing necessary for didgeridoo and throat singing.
Transcend was recorded with minimal takes. Brian's belief is that the living, organic spirit of music can be captured in the act of spontaneity. If one were to maintain the imperfections and let the music breathe, the spirit of the feeling is maintained throughout the mix.
To coincide with this album Brian has also orchestrated the release of Everything the Remixes which features the lead single Everything and a series of remixes created by electronic artists from the Pacific Northwest, Nunavut, and Germany. Everything the Remixes includes works by Buyproduct, Dead Hippie Squadron, Teddybare, DJ WestWolf and TweakerRay who has produced remixes for Depeche Mode, Gary Numan and Nine Inch Nails.

PostNet Names Chip Baranowski Director of Franchise Development
Thursday, June 18, 2015
Press release from the issuing company
Neighborhood Business Center Hires Franchise Industry Veteran to Support Domestic, International Franchise Growth
DENVER – In a move to further accelerate the brand's expansion, PostNet, the nation's first Neighborhood Business Center that provides printing, shipping, design, and marketing solutions that meet the needs of small businesses and consumers, has named Chip Baranowski Director of Franchise Development.
Baranowski brings nearly 20 years of franchising experience to the PostNet team. In his new position, he will spearhead PostNet's domestic and international franchise growth by managing the people, processes, budgets, strategies and tactics associated with recruiting strong franchise candidates.
"This new position will be instrumental in advancing the growth of PostNet and Chip is the right person to do the job. He brings a tremendous amount of industry experience and is completely aligned with our core focus and values," said Steve Greenbaum, CEO and co-founder of PostNet. "We are excited about having him as a member of our global franchise family."
Most recently, Baranowski served as VP of Franchise Development for Honest-1 Auto Care where he was responsible for all areas of franchise development expansion in the U.S., and played an integral role in growing system revenues, strategic planning and increasing unit-level profitability. In just a three-year span, he increased franchise lead generation by 123 percent. Prior to that, he served as Regional VP at United Franchise Group, Manager of Franchise Development at Unishippers, Director of Franchise Development at Datapreserve, and Director of Franchise Development at Nationwide Floorcovering, Inc.
The new position is a result of the continued growth of the global brand, including an acquisition made earlier this year by Aramex of the master PostNet franchise in South Africa. To date, PostNet has nearly 700 centers open across nine countries. Domestically, PostNet has expanded in San Antonio, San Diego, Phoenix and Boston over the past year, and the brand is targeting Europe, Asia and Mexico for international growth in 2015.

text: I've seen these feature on various food blogs so I was ecstatic to stumble across some mini versions at the Williamsburg Flea Market this weekend. The perfect combination of sweet and salty, neither too overpowering. The butter cream was a great contrast to the rasher and I was surprised to detect a hint of cinnamon in the sponge base. At $2 they were the most expensive to sample from this particular stall but if you're a fan of a pancake, bacon and maple syrup breakfast then this should be right up your street!

January 09, 2014 08:15 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 9, 2014) - Housing starts in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 35,519 units in December compared to 35,895 in November according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) 1 of housing starts.
"The trend in housing starts in Toronto was stable in December, while at a level somewhat higher than the lows which occurred mid-year. Mortgage rates and employment were relatively unchanged over the past two months, contributing to the stabilization of housing demand," said Ed Heese, CMHC's Toronto Senior Market Analyst.
CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.
The standalone monthly SAAR was 32,199 units in December, down from 36,786 in November, mainly due to fewer semi-detached and town homes being started in the month of December 2013. On a year-to-date basis housing starts were down, with low-rise starts in line with last year and fewer apartment starts leading the overall decline. Apartment starts were unusually high in 2012 but have stabilized in 2013 at a more sustainable level.
Preliminary Housing Starts data is also available in English and French at the following link: Preliminary Housing Starts Tables
As Canada's national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

[1] All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) - that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace was maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels.

Here's What a Darker, More Violent Version of 'Peter Pan' Looks Like
French comic scribe and artist Régis Loisel created a darker, violent series of works based on the Peter Pan saga first created by author J. M. Barrie. Filmmaker Nicolas Duval wrote and directed an adaptation of Loisel's graphic novels, which continues the gritty, Dickensian story in short-film form.
Sparkly fairy Tinker Bell is included, but she's (hurray!) not a blonde, white, Hollywood-ized version of the character. Young Peter isn't an orphan here, but a child of an alcoholic, cruel mother. And of course Captain Hook makes an appearance, ruling his crew with an iron fist. Duval's visuals are moody and magical, and we'd love to see another entry in this series that reveals what happens next, as we're left with a bit of a cliffhanger.
Let us know how these stand up to the graphic novels if you've read them.

Summer Styles That Stick
Summer Styles That Stick : A Cabana Stripe & Statement Colour Blocking
Here at Canningvale we value and cherish the rich and vibrant summer culture that has embodied Australia since the dawn of the budgie-smuggler. Whether the Olds were advising you to Slip, Slop, Slap with a bottle of olive oil or a modelesque figure was asking in expletive where you were, no one does Summer like Australia.
Deluxe Cotton Velour . Does that mean anything to you? It should. Because who says luxury and opulence need to stop at the bathroom? Our new season Extra Large ' Alessio' & 'Marina' are for those that want just that little bit more from their sunny weather experience. An oversized beach towel is 100cm x 180cm, perfect for picnics and sun bathing. You're not getting water or sand on your stuff when there's so much room to leave it on your towel. Plus there's room for two! Tan at the same time as your bestie, and if they forget their towel, good thing yours is XL.
Though size isn't everything, the biggest isn't necessarily the best. This is why we've got funky eye-catching designs in a smaller size too. You'll be the stand out at the pool, the envy of every beach-goer and the bane of Kristy down the street that's always had such chic linens in her guest house. Who's chic now Kristy?
But maybe you want to take a step back through time.
The Cabana Stripe, a classic design that does not cease to impress. There is something so retro, so nostalgic about the simple coloured stripe next to its white counterpart. Believe it or not keeping it modern and up to date is all down to the width of the stripe – Canningvale has gone with the popular wide stripe for the 2016/17 season.
With deep, rich colours that keep this towel very in the now. Our core colours Red, Navy and Stone suit every taste and style. Whether you want matchy-matchy or colours that contrast this towel is versatile, a one colour set could be your summer statement or mix it up with a retro stripe rainbow.
Disclaimer: Canningvale would like to state that it is not responsible for any family-fights that might breakout when both the kids want the 'Bomba' towel. Or when Kristy from down the street has a mental break because you've got nicer towels than her now. Or if you're husband starts growing a mullet, tells you to 'chill' and 'hang ten' – you're on your own.

Step by step procedure to install and configure Apache webserver in Linux. It also includes troubleshooting steps for errors during install.
In this tutorial we are going to see how to install and configure Apache webserver in Linux. Apache is most widely used webserver which is developed and maintained by Apache Software Foundation. Its a open source software and available for free to download and use.
What is webserver
Webserver is aimed to serve web pages to its clients. In our daily life websites we visit from browsers are hosted on webservers! Webserver commonly runs on port 80 (http protocol) and 443 (https protocol, more secured). Communication between webserver and its client over https protocol is encrypted and hence secured.
Apache webserver
Apache webserver is open source webserver developed by Apache Software Foundation. It is named as Apache HTTP Server Project and details can be viewed here. Lets see how to setup Apache webserver on Linux box.
Apache installation
If you have configured YUM repositories then you can install 'httpd' package. If you dont have YUM or apt-get repositories configured you can download latest Apache source, compile and then install it.
Number of errors and their solutions :
Error : configure: error: APR not found.
Solution : Install apr and apr-utils packages (download here if you dont have yum)
Error : configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
Solution : Install gcc package
Error : configure: error: pcre-config for libpcre not found.
Solution : Install pcre package (download here, unzip, /configure –prefix=/usr/local/pcre, make, make install)
Finally you should be able to install it using : ./configure –prefix=/apache, make, make install (you can change /apache directory to diff where it will be installed)
Apache configuration
Post installation you will have /var/www/html/ directory in which you should place your html pages which can be fetched from browser. httpd service will come to an existence.
Read also : Let's encrypt (free, open source) SSL configuration for Apache
If you keep files and directories in /var/www/html/ then its listing will be shown in browser like this example we saw in another post. We will put below html file in /var/www/html/ for test :
# cat test.html

This webserver is installed by kerneltalks.com

Now once you make changes in directory structure, restart httpd service. Verify httpd service is running and port 80 is listening.
# service httpd status
httpd (pid 27920) is running...
Now, try to fetch that page from browser. Use your server IP as website address i.e. http://IP/test.html
You will be greeted with such page! Your webserver is up and running. Accepting and serving requests from browsers.
Apache config files
Apache configuration file located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf In this configuration file you can set your error file path, SSL certificate path, SSL cert key file path, port, IP (virtual hosts), access log path etc. There are lot more customization can be done using this file but I stated only general tweaking parameters.
Apache log files can be found at :
- /etc/httpd/logs/access_log : all access logs logged here.
- /etc/httpd/logs/error_log : All errors logged here. They also includes start stop service messages.

More About the Habitats at Triple N Ranch WMA
Learn More About Florida Habitats
Habitats provide the food, water, shelter and space animals need to thrive and reproduce. Although some plant communities have been modified by altered hydrologic and fire regimes, and past cattle and forestry operations, Triple N Ranch contains some relatively pristine natural plant communities. These include high-quality dry prairie, hydric hammocks and floodplain swamps along Crabgrass Creek. Mesic flatwoods and cypress domes comprise more than half of the area. Despite the small size of the remaining plant communities, several are ecologically and recreationally significant. The rare orchid Spiranthes longilabris (long-lipped ladies tresses) occurs across a large area in the mesic (moist) flatwoods and adjacent wet prairies.
The FWC's resource management goals for the area include enhancing and maintaining the native upland and wetland communities on the WMA. To accomplish this objective, the FWC is restoring disturbed sites and has instituted a program of prescribed burning. Nonnative invasive plants such as old-world climbing fern, cogongrass, tropical soda apple and Brazilian pepper are controlled through mechanical and chemical treatments. Other management activities include re-establishing hydrologic regimes to benefit fish and wildlife habitats.
In addition to the management work described here, biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rely on a wide range of techniques to ensure that natural areas throughout the state stay healthy for wildlife and inviting to visitors.
Management Plan
FWC Facts:The painted bunting is one of the most rapidly declining songbirds in the eastern U.S. Surveys show an astounding 4-6 percent annual decrease in its numbers from 1966 to 2007.

I had about 25 people at each class. I'm of the opinion that Perl 5 is easier to sell to complete beginners, than to pull them away from other (likely more popular and newer) languages. From my experience people tend to stick with the language they know. The free Perl 5 class I ran in a secondary school was well received by the staff and most of the children who attended. However, when the time comes, I think Perl 6 for Non-Perl Programmers would have a better chance of pulling people (back)? to perl. Lyle

"The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude." –Aldous Huxley
This morning, during my morning routine of purging… junk mail from my inbox, I took a break and read the latest blog post by Chris Schwarz–who happens to be a writer that sounds like Tom Brokaw when he speaks.
This post reinforces the belief that conversations amongst kindred spirits are best lubricated with beer–surely beer is the foundation of all folklore.
But I digress. I shared the following experience with Chris via email today and thought it worthy of the Drivel Starved Nation.
Do you think Americans would pay $5 for a 1/8" twist drill?
You bet. By the tens of thousands times ten. And as unbelievable and absurd as it sounds, here is how.
About 10 years ago I was in an OEM Chinese factory that made bench grinders. You have seen them, ½ HP motor, two 6" grinding wheels, pig tail cord, a small plastic face shield and no nameplate—these would be attached by the American companies that bought them. The total cost per grinder, landed in the US was $7.15. Of course at this price it would be asking too much for a UL tag.
These grinders were, and still are being sold here and the prices range from $49 to $200– awesome margins by any standard.
Behind the factory floor there was a small mountain of insulated wire that had been pulled from old cars, appliances, televisions and the like and it was replenished daily. Surrounding the wire mountain were a couple of dozen women who were stripping the wire of insulation. These wire remnants were then spliced together and used in the grinder motor windings. Completely illegal, and dangerous. But cheap.
I thought I was shocked until I walked into the factory section that made twist drill bits. Here they were making, for the AMERICAN MARKET, those 59, 89, 119 pc drill sets found at the box stores and other discount joints for $19.95. Again, there were rows of women who were dipping the bits in what looked like Easter egg dye.
I asked the interpreter what they were doing. He replied, "They are making all the bits the same color as these four." The four bits he pointed out were the 1/8", ¼", 3/8" and the ½".
I asked why.
I learned that those four bits were properly hardened. The remaining 115 bits were made with what I call pot metal. The reason?
"Because those are the only four hole sizes that Americans use."
I asked, as politely as I could, if there was any guilt or remorse for duping their American customers. The reply was shocking.
"In America, if it cost less than $20, nobody complains about quality—everybody in China knows this."
So for those that complain about prices, you should be screaming mad if you have purchased one of these deals because your twenty bucks just likely purchased the four most expensive twist drills you will ever own. And in so doing, have made it that much more difficult for honest companies to compete.
More recently, I found myself at the local paint shop to purchase a Purdy paint brush—I have always liked them. So when I walked into the store I asked the sales rep to show me the most expensive brushes…
"I don't get asked that very often.." he replied.
I then learned that the cheapest brushes outsell the flagged end bristle brushes by about 20 to one. The reason?
So people can throw them away rather than clean them.
And I am here to report that properly cleaning (and storing) a well-made paint brush is an honor for a tool that will last a lifetime.
In short, we are the world's worst consumers and those that complain about prices are likely leading the chorus.
Obviously, as a member of the DSN, you are dancing to the beat of a different drummer, or, you are here because of my awesome and totally professionally rendered cartoons…
Either case I thought you might find my experiences enlightening.
$5 for a 1/8″ Twist Drill? Only in America…

Event Date
Wed, 05/16/2018
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology Dr. Eliseo Guallar & Dr. Christopher Heaney ...
Christopher Heaney, PhD, MS, earned a MS in environmental health microbiology and virology and a PhD in epidemiology at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health. Before coming to Johns Hopkins, Dr. Heaney worked in epidemiology and biomarkers at a division of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Presently, Dr. Heaney is an assistant professor with a joint appointment in the departments of Environmental Health Sciences and Epidemiology, as well as the director of the Johns Hopkins Environmental Health Microbiology and Immunology Laboratory (EHMIL) at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.
At the EPA, Dr. Heaney worked with researchers who were investigating the development of saliva-based screening tools for exposure to waterborne pathogens among beach-goers. The majority of the existing tools used to assess immune responses to pathogens require the collection of biospecimens, such as blood and stool. The invasive nature of collecting these samples poses a serious problem for voluntary participation rates in large epidemiologic field studies. Beyond the beach-goer population, the collection of stool and blood as a biomarker in infants and young children has proven to be a challenge in investigations of exposure and disease burden, especially in remote locations.
Recently, Dr. Heaney was awarded one of the Johns Hopkins Water Institute's Seed Grants for his research on saliva as a biomarker to screen children for exposure and disease outcomes related to specific WASH-related (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) pathogens. The project, in conjunction with the WASH Benefits Bangladesh study, focuses on a population of roughly 1150 children outside Dhaka. This target population was selected because of rampant malnutrition, frequent pathogen exposure and infection, and a desire to understand what is causing these children not to grow and thrive as one might expect. In this type of remote, resource limited area, collecting and analyzing blood and stool, the traditional biomarkers, is largely impractical. Because the resources that are required to implement cold-chain, biohazards, and phlebotomy protocols are not readily available, it is especially prudent to establish an alternative biomarker to blood and stool to get disease statistics. Dr. Heaney's research will investigate how to optimize saliva-based antibody immunoassay tests to determine which pathogens are related to an individual's symptoms and linked to a specific disease.
Dr. Heaney will be working with an impressive team for the duration of the project. Dr. Douglas Granger, adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins Schools of Public Health, Nursing, and Medicine, has recently relocated to lead the Institute for Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Research at Arizona State University. He has extensive experience on salivary biomarkers and diagnostics that are significant for child psychology and development. Dr. Stephen Luby, a professor of infectious disease at Stanford University, is the Principal Investigator of the WASH benefits study in Bangladesh. Audrie Lin, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health, is the coordinating microbiologist for the WASH Benefits study and is directly involved with the field teams in Dhaka. Nora Pisanic is a postdoctoral fellow working in Dr. Heaney's lab in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Real Wheels: Subarus, SUVs and More Car Advice
Friday, September 25, 2009; 11:00 AM
Washington Post cars columnist Warren Brown was online Friday, September 25, at 11 a.m. ET to discuss the auto industry and offer purchase advice to readers. Brown has covered the cars industry for The Washington Post since 1982.
The transcript follows.
CIA: Did you notice that Mercedes Benz's feature that alerts you when you are dozing off uses a picture of a cup of coffee when it warns you?
Sounds kind of stupid to suggest that you should take a stimulant if you're too tired to continue driving.
Warren Brown: The icon is meant to suggest that you stop, rest and refresh yourself. Many people on long drives choose coffee for their refreshment. Stupid me. So do I.
Arlington, Va.: Warren -- recognizing the limitations of a column format, there is one relevant piece of information on the cars you test which you do not publish: weight. I suggest this would be a useful one to include in the future.
Thank you.
Warren Brown: Thank you, I will consider your suggestion. I occasionally publish weight.
Saratoga Springs, N.Y.: Warren: I'm in the market for a new vehicle. I drive a 1993 Subaru Legacy Wagon. I would have taken advantage of the Cash for Clunkers program; but my car gets a whopping 21 MPG average. I'd like to stay with a wagon or CUV. Something dependable and fuel efficient. What are some of your favorites?
Warren Brown: Go with the new Legacy wagon, which is selling quite well, which speaks well for its potential resale value.
Arkansas: Re the Chevy 2010 Equinox -- I was within inches of buying one the day Cash for Clunkers started. Had the paperwork ready and everything. LOVED it--until my husband drove it and I rode in the passenger seat. Thirty minutes later I was at home, on a heating pad and pain meds due to back pain. Thought maybe I was crazy -- but everyone that rode in the passenger seat complained. Even my 17-year-old son who really wanted me to buy. Worst passenger seat I've ever ridden in -- and it nixed the deal.
Warren Brown: Thank you. We had a completely different experience. Different versions?
Facebook: I'm not the first to ask, but I hope I'm the last (because maybe this time you'll give a helpful answer).
We want to follow you on Facebook (speaking for the other chatters, too), but yours is a common name. Please, please, please provide the URL for your Facebook page OR the email address associated with your Facebook account, so we can find and "friend" you.
Many thanks!
Warren Brown: I'm a nubie to Facebook. I probably did not set up the page correctly. I'm reachable at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bethesda: Warren-
I've been looking at getting a small-ute or a wagon, something with better mileage than the 21 mpg I'm currently getting. Reading through your reviews, I saw both a positive and negative review for the Hyundai Elantra Touring.
If I'm looking to haul teens and dogs around, would you recommend the Elantra, the new Outback, the RAV4 or something else?
Warren Brown: I'd go with the Subaru Outback--stronger engine, all-wheel-drive, better utility than the Hyundai Elantra Touring. Price against the Rav4.
Anonymous: Hi Warren, have you driven the 2010 Subaru Legacy with its cvt tyranny? I would like to know your thoughts on this car, also do you see auto retail prices falling, stabilizing or increasing in the near future?
Warren Brown: The continuously variable transmission in the new Legacy is much improved over previous iterations--that rubber-band transmission feel is gone. Bottom line is that Subaru nowadays is hitting on all cylinders, including welcome, needed improvements in styling.
Dupont Circle: Warren, hello! Can't begin to tell you how much I love your chats and columns.
I've fallen in love with the Volvo C30, but I just don't think I can justify buying one with how little driving I do - I walk to work and would really only use it on weekends.
Now I'm torn about what to do for a more practical alternative for, say, around $15,000 - should I buy a new Hyundai Accent or the like, or a used VW Rabbit or other... or should I just keep renting/Zipcarring when I need one?
Many thanks.
Warren Brown: Hello, Dupont Circle. If you're doing okay with Zip Car weekends, stay with that. Makes no sense to spend money on a car that will sit around idle all week.
Boston, Mass: Warren, as a long time reader, I heartily give you credit for identifying tall wagons, which are marketed as crossovers. Help me to understand this phenomena: Midsized sedans, with a vertical bias, and short hatchback- like trunks: For example: Kia Rondo, Honda Edix (which I heard is coming stateside), Mazda CX7, Nissan Rogue, VW Tiguan. When I look at these vehicles, I get the sense that they are a sedan with a really roomy cabin (I'm a short, slight guy) and proportionally very meager trunk space. Are these vehicles the replacement/evolution of small, unibody, SUVs?
Warren Brown: Good morning, Boston.
They essentially are station wagons. But automotive marketers believe that today's couples, young families, single adults with children and/or pets, find the idea of station wagons or minivans anathema. It's a stylistic thing having little to do with actual increased utility, safety, or road performance. It's like jeans. Designer versus good 'ole Levis.
Baltimore, Md.: I've seen you recommending the VW Jetta TDI for the past several weeks now, and after taking one on a test drive, I'm now really interested in buying one. However, many people have emphatically told me to steer clear of VWs, citing numerous reliability and maintenance problems they've had over the years. Has VW taken any steps to address these problems for the '09/'10 models?
Warren Brown: Reputations. Good ones are easily lost. Bad ones tend to hang around long after things have changed. At VW, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region in the matter of maintenance and repairs, things have changed for the better. The Jetta TDI is a darned good car now backed by a company that acts on the notion that "total quality" includes repair service.
Clifton, Va.: The ultimate dog and teen holder is the Honda Element. Spills and dog hair aren't a problem. Seats clean up easy in the EX version. Great reliability 25mpg and lots of room.
Minuses Only seats 4 and crosswinds do blow the little box around.
Warren Brown: I generally agree, especially on Honda Element behavior in crosswinds. Not good handling under the circumstance.
Warren Brown: To Silver Spring on when to replace a car:
A $1,000 repair job that works and is reliable is a lot less costly than $26,000 (average cost of a new car) plus taxes, fees and insurance. Does the repaired car work? Is it safe? Does it still provide good transportation value? Answer those questions and act accordingly.
Warren Brown: To those who've asked:
Yes, the off-and-on proposed deal with GM, Magna International and Russia's Sberbank is on again in the matter of GM's sale of 65 percent of its share of Germany's Opel to Magna/Sberbank.
GM needs cash. But it also needs Opel to maintain a credible presence in Europe. And even a downsized, new GM needs to have a credible European presence.
Lexus hybrid: Have you tested the GS or HS hybrids? Can't afford the 100k LS, but these two luxury hybrids have some appeal. Any thoughts?
Warren Brown: I will drive both, soon. But I'm a bit confused by the design intent of powerful, luxurious hybrids. Are they meant to save fuel, or just make their buyers feel better about purchasing powerful, luxurious vehicles?
Washington, D.C.: Hiya Warren, thanks for doing these chats. One more (at least) Subaru question. What is the biggest difference between the Subaru Outback wagon and the Subaru Forester? Is it the ride, the creature comforts, or something else. The Forester is built as more of an SUV than the Outback wagon, but it seems like the Outback has a larger capacity for cargo (length-wise that is). Please enlighten me.
Warren Brown: Hello, Washington:
The wagon is, well, a wagon. The Forester essentially is a wagon with SUV pretensions. We've carted kit and kin in both--along with a big chocolate Labrador--in both. We prefer the handling and parking ease of the wagon.
Golf TDI?: Any news on when the new Golf TDI will be out, and what price range it will be?
Warren Brown: Should be late fall with base prices in the high teens, low $20k.
Atlanta, Ga.: 2010 Volvo C30 or the 2010 Audi A3? I'm really torn. I love the interior of the Audi, but love the styling of the C30 R-Design.
Warren Brown: You've just answered your question, Atlanta. Where will you spend most of your time, inside or outside of the car? Inside, right? So, go with the A3, which has a reasonably attractive exterior as well.
VW Reliability: My '02 Golf was reliable; same my spouse's '99 Cabrio. The 2 dealers I went to in Northern Va. gave fine service.
Warren Brown: Thank you.
Columbia, S.C.: Hi Warren, what do you think of the Audi A5? Would it be a suitable replacement for my 2001 TT Coupe? Thanks for all of your helpful advice each week.
Warren Brown: The A5 is a beautiful sedan, starting at, I think, $36,000 for the 2010 model. It's a far different car from your VW Beetle-based TT Coupe. But you might want to check out the equally fine and, I think, less expensive VW CC sedan. Hint: VW is Audi's parent.
RE: VW: The company's reputation has indeed improved... but you should know in advance that if you do need repairs on your TDI, they're going to be fairly spendy.
On the other hand, you'll love driving the car, and you'll have a hard time driving anything lesser.
Warren Brown: True.
Reston, Va.: Hi Warren, my husband and I are planning to purchase either a Cadillac CTS or the new Buick Lacrosse - which we read about in your good review with interest this last Sun.
Your thoughts, please on pros and cons of each, etc.
Warren Brown: I love both of those cars. But I'd go with the LaCrosse CXS. A frightened GM is a darned good GM. Clearly, a GM fighting for its life, putting everything on the line, designed the new LaCrosse. It is, at the moment, the car that well defines the new GM and that speaks well to the company's long-term survival. GM has a winner here!
Rockville: "Inside, right?"
Got that right. The first thing I noticed when I owned a Corvette was that I could not watch myself drive. Inside it was much like any other car - just a lot faster.
Am I lucky I left the country and sold the car before I started getting tickets.
But all this was many years ago.
Warren Brown: Ha! You've got that right. I've lost track of the cars I've driven with pretty bodies and not-so-pretty, but truly uncomfortable cabins. (The new Buick LaCrosse, by the way, looks good--and feels good--inside and out.)
Cleveland, Ohio.: Thanks for doing this each week, it's always a nice lunch-break read. We're in the market for a new CUV/Wagon, but a requirement is a manual transmission. The Outback is the only one we've found that still offers a stick in anything above the base model (Tiguan/Santa Fe available only in base; CRV/EDGE not available at all). Just seems that more companies aren't making them.
As people that probably won't ever own performance cars (and generally keep them 6-8 years), will this be the last manual transmission we buy new? And would you recommend anything other than the Outback?
Warren Brown: I'd go with the Outback. For one thing, it will last six years with relatively few problems.
As for manuals: Currently, manual gearboxes account for 11.5 percent of new vehicles sold in this country. With the continued emergence of manumatics--transmissions that can be used automatically or manually--their number is likely to dwindle. But wishful thinking makes me believe that traditional manuals will maintain some sort of long-term presence in the marketplace.
Silver Spring: You also might consider whether you feel safe in the car and trust it. When my beloved PT Cruiser had a series of problems, each $1000 was cheaper than a new car. BUT I no longer trusted the car not to need another $1000 every month.
Sure it's instinctive and emotional. But sometimes you have to trust your gut.
Warren Brown: Trust is everything.
With the absence of trust, everything goes--your PT Cruiser, your bank and investment accounts, your employment, your friends and family.
Alexandria, Va.: Have you test-driven the Venza yet? How would you rate it against a Subaru Legacy or other cross-over vehicle?
Warren Brown: No, Alexandria. But coming soon.
Springfield, Va.: Warren -- In response to Boston's query about Crossovers, I think their market includes folks who want the cargo capacity of SUVs and many minivans, but without their antiquated low gas mileage. The arrival of the Chevy Orlando and the stretched Ford C-Max should help to solidify this category.
Warren Brown: Um, hmm. And they can get all of that in a traditional wagon.
Rockville, Md.: Warren, I think it would be prudent if you disclosed (here or in some other forum) your financial stake in the companies you tout. For instance, you regularly recommend VWs and, especially lately, GM vehicles. I'm curious if you own stock (and, to be even more nosy, how much) in those companies? Seems to me like it would weigh in your recommendations.
Warren Brown: Good question, Rockville. Typical Washington question. But it speaks to trust, so little of which is to be found in these parts:
I own NO automotive stocks.
I have no investments in any original equipment manufacturer or supplier.
My radio show, "On Wheels With Warren Brown," WMET World Radio, 1160 on the dial, Sundays from 12 noon to 1 PM, is supported by the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers' Association and some smaller outfits.
But I'd happily take paid advertisements from you, yours, your company or nonprofit organization. The show costs $500 an hour, funded from 26 to 52 weeks. I'm trying to expand it to two hours. You do the math. If you are interested, kindly contact my station manager, Bob Appel, at 202-969-9083, www.wmet1160.com. We'll gladly take your money, just as any media outlet anywhere in the world would gladly take your money.
It's a good show, too. You want me to stay honest? Support the show. Thank you.
Washington, D.C.: Hi Warren. Thanks for chatting. Since crossovers are the theme today, what do you think of the Acura RDX? I've owned an Acura before and really enjoyed it, and I like the size/price/performance blend of the RDX. Thanks!
Warren Brown: I think its a good mid-size crossover that, nonetheless, is inferior in value to the Mazda CX-9 and the Hyundai Veracruz. And for larger families, those requiring seating for eight, it does not hold a candle to the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave. That's what I think.
Volvo sold to Geely of China: Warren,
What do you know about these people? Will they do better with Volvo than Ford did?
Warren Brown: Geely, I believe that is. A good company, ambitious company. Success with Volvo? It's sufficient to say that I've learned not to underestimate the Chinese. Period.
For Ohio: While some vehicles may only have manual in the base model, you may consider adding whatever "goodies" you would want... Mazda5 base model was the only manual minivan; my husband added leather & sun roof, and it is now exactly the car he wanted.
Warren Brown: We thank you.
Chantilly, Va.: My wife and I purchased a VW in 2001; the tranny literally broke as we drove the brand-new vehicle off the lot. Local service and dealership (Stohlman -- free free to cut the name out if you post) lied to us and made life difficult for my wife and I until we caught them in a lie and documented it, at which point VW corporate essentially purchased the car back from us. Will never look at a VW again, and will never buy another car of any type from Stohlman. I'm sure other folks have had other experiences, but there are many dealerships and we have to make decisions about where to spend our money somehow ...
Warren Brown: I understand, Chantilly. But I note the year, 2001. VW was having problems back then, as noted many times in this space. Perception has a hard time bridging history. I truly understand your lingering angst.
Suburbs, Va.: Hi Warren, looking for a wagon/hatchback style vehicle good for toting baby + preschooler on errands, commuting to work (mixed highway and stop-n-go travel), that gets decent gas mileage, takes regular unleaded (or diesel), and takes safety seriously. New or recent used (30k or less miles), needs to cost under $18k. And, the Rabbit's seat is a little too contoured/narrow for comfort. Your recommendations?
Warren Brown: So many.
I'll start with a much-discussed favorite, the Subaru Outback.
And there are the usual suspects:
Honda CR-V
Toyota Rav-4
Nissan Rogue
Mazda CX-7 and CX-9
And I'd be curious to have YOUR opinion on the 2010--that's 2010, not 2009--Chevrolet Equinox.
Warren Brown: Okay, good folks. Thanks for joining us today. And remember, for those of you who want to keep me on the air, Sundays, currently 12 to 1, but trying to expand 11 AM to 1, that requires money. We'll happily accept your money and list your names. Contact Bob Appel at 202-969-9083, www.wmet1160.com. We thank you.
And I thank you, Sakina.
Eat lunch, Ria.

text: BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Purdue forward Matt Kiefer already had missed a dunk. When the rim snapped back, the ball swirled out of the basket after it had passed almost all the way through the net. That clunky miss prompted the Indiana crowd, in cacophonous unison, to attach an unflattering description to his name. Kiefer's day didn't need more aggravation. But it came a couple minutes later when he went to the basket trying to nudge the Boilermakers back into a game starting to slip away. Sean Kline denied Kiefer's clearance to shoot. Kline's block triggered an Indiana fast break that was punctuated with Roderick Wilmont's 3-pointer to open a 13-point lead with a little more than four minutes to play. "That block he had was huge," Wilmont said. "That's how I got the shot wide open." Assembly Hall revved to a decibel level worthy of the rivalry, although that might've been the collective exhale of 17,316 Hoosier fans relieved to be able to leave early. After Wilmont's shot, they could start collecting their personal belongings. "That broke our back," Purdue coach Matt Painter said Saturday after a 62-49 loss to Indiana. If nothing else, the Boilermakers showed a sturdy backbone. They don't have four starters, or much experience among the players who replaced them on their decimated roster, but they had enough spine to stand up to the Hoosiers on their home court. Between the twin misfortunes of his missed dunk and blocked shot, Kiefer secured his own rebound and drew a foul on A.J. Ratliff as he scored. His three-point play cut Indiana's lead to four with 7:27 to play, confirming Purdue's status as a public nuisance in Bloomington even when it doesn't have enough talent to disturb the peace elsewhere. "I don't know another team in the country that could lose four starters and be able to compete at all," Indiana coach Mike Davis said, praising Painter's reclamation project. In the bulging vein department, Painter replaced Gene Keady's passion throb for throb, maintaining a familiar Purdue attitude through the frustration of an otherwise arduous renovation of the program. Like a wad of gum stuck to their shoes, the Boilermakers clung to the Hoosiers, a messy nuisance that didn't seem like a big problem until they tried to peel it off. That just gummed things up even more. For all the stops and starts, it could've been badminton instead of basketball, a game in the great tradition of past presidential campaigns. A whistle-stop tour with 45 fouls called in 40 minutes. Purdue preferred it that way rather than allowing Indiana's athletes to get loose, choking down on Marco Killingsworth, who worked for 18 points and 10 rebounds despite the suffocating attention. He also had six turnovers searching for open shooters through the traffic, but Indiana had only 13 as a team to Purdue's 16, a minor difference with major implications at that slogging tempo. "Each possession meant a lot more than a normal game," Painter said, because the pace limited opportunities. Indiana didn't make much of its chances early, maintaining its lead with -- of all things -- free-throw shooting from Killingsworth. A 57 percent shooter from the line, he hit 8-of-9, including all seven attempts in the first half. Otherwise the Hoosiers misfired for most of the first 20 minutes and finished the game under 40 percent from the field. Not pretty, but enough to defeat Purdue, because Indiana could summon its athletic advantage on defense even as its offense faltered. Equal to the Boilermakers in backbone, the Hoosiers also had more healthy legs, all the better to run them off the court. It didn't happen with the sort of ease the No. 13 team in the nation should experience against a wounded rival, a testament to Purdue's temperament. But it did eventually happen. Defense protected Indiana until its offense could ignite. Kline's block of Keifer lit the fuse for one last spark that was enough to consume the Boilermakers. "We're going to have games like this," Wilmont said. "As a team we know we can win games shooting 30-some percent by our defense. That's what we did tonight."

Whether you are starting a management system on the first day of school or at some other point during the school year, laying the groundwork is a key element to your success. For me, the first days are when I teach The No Bull Method™ to my students, aides, other teachers and administration. It's a five-tiered level system with an organized plan, a clear set of expectations for students and positive and negative consequences. Teachers, aides, administration and students are able to follow it. It is a system that has set procedures of what to do and when to do them. It helps the adults to know what to do and say without getting emotional and taking things personally. It also gives a lot of data when writing the IEP and behavior plan to the student's specific needs. Parents like having the communication with the school and knowing how their child is doing each day.
In laying the groundwork, one of the topics we discuss in class is Rights vs. Privileges. This topic is something numerous children do not clearly understand. I believe this lack of understanding is one reason many have a skewed sense of entitlement. When I hear of things like the Egyptian leader, President Mohammed Morsi granting himself near-absolute power, first, I think, "Shame on you." Second, I think, "You need a lesson on Rights and Privileges. You obviously don't understand what is your right and what is your privilege." Finally, I realize, "If leaders of countries have a difficult time understanding these concepts, is it any wonder children get them mixed up?" This makes it all the more important to teach.
To begin, on one side of the board I write "RIGHTS" and ask them to think of as many rights as they can. I record everything they say. Things that are obviously not rights fill up most of the board: to have a cell phone, a TV, to hang out with friends, play video games, etc. Very few actual rights are suggested.
I write "PRIVILEGES" on the other side and repeat the format above. Again, I record everything the students suggest. Students will think of many real privileges, and start to repeat things they placed on the "RIGHTS" side. When we are finished with both sides, I circle these repetitions.
I go onto explain that rights are given and privileges are earned. I make a T-Chart with each word on either side of the heading. Starting on the "RIGHTS" side of the original list, we address each circled repetition and the students decide where it belongs on the T-Chart. Then, we continue down the list. When finished, we do the same thing on the "PRIVILEGES" side. When this is completed, we have LOTS of privileges and very few rights. In fact, depending on age and prior knowledge, I may need to add to this list to help them understand what a right truly is. Sometimes a right and a privilege can look similar, so we take the opportunity for further discussion. I use this example to help aid understanding: You have the right to eat lunch when everyone else eats lunch, but it is a privilege to eat it with your friends.
We discuss how we have very few rights, but lots of privileges in our lives. I explain that by using the No Bull Method™ five-tiered level system, they will earn privileges when they behave well and make good choices and they will lose those privileges by doing otherwise.
This is one of my favorite lessons to teach and one I come back to time and again throughout the school year to reinforce the students' choices. I love seeing the thought processes of my students. It lays the groundwork for the No Bull Method™ and many teaching moments to come. Next week, I'll discuss more groundwork. What does your groundwork look like?
Be kinder than necessary, be grateful, and have a peace-filled week,
Ms. Brown
P.S. Check out our STORE for great looking polo's, tote bags and baseball hats with our distinctive "No Bull Teacher™" logo. Let others know you mean what you say and don't put up with any "bull". Great for gift giving!

I loveee A&F jeans! I couldn't resist picking up a few more pairs since they are about 20%-30% OFF lately.
(does anyone know why?)
I haven't had white jeans in a whileee but thought I'd pick some up since I have a new favorite cut from A&F The Brett Super Skinny
(I take a size 0, I kept purchasing a size 2 but they would stretch out sooo quick. I tried on a 0 at the store and they fit like a dream! They still stretch out after wearing them for a few hrs unfortunately.)
I also noticed they had some off the shoulder shirts as well so I wanted to try those out. (If I don't like them I'll just return them)
(I bought 2 of the same pairs because...I have a problem. LOL. I always like to have a fresh pair just in case I wanna wear them somewhere special or if anything happens to my other pair. I own 3 pairs now of the destroyed wash from this cut. I may purchase more O_o)
After Shipping and Tax it came to $170 and change. Gahh I hate how quickly things add up!
