I hate when I wake up in the morning to write and I know I have absolutely nothing of value or interest to share about the prior day or the one about to happen. I know that I will still down to write anyway and that as I do I will blather on about whatever comes into my head while I write. I do this because writing is my routine. I do it because it is what I have done for nearly three years now and the offloading of my thoughts is cathartic. I do it so that I do not have to blather on to my husband about lace and etsy and all the other things that one might call me obsessive about. Of course I also do it because there are a few people gracious enough to be my sounding board even when I have nothing interesting to say.
Speaking of gracious people, thank you so much for all the finger injury suggestions. It finally healed to the point where I can paint on some liquid bandage and work without it bothering me. Though after I remade a couple of pieces yesterday, I opted to work on a few extra Wunderkammer features instead. I figured that with my visitor here it would be more polite to tat and look up while talking than to stick my face in my computer to get those done. I got all but Friday's feature scheduled so I'm crossing my fingers that I don't end up with too many sold items between now and when they post.
So that's about all I suppose. I will try to get caught up on pieces that need remaking, but I doubt I'll have the creative space to work on anything new. I would really like to at least finish up the shoulder jewelry concept piece, but I fear that the break from it did not revitalize my energy for it, but rather convinced me that it was ultimately going to fail. Of course I won't know that for certain until I finish it, so eventually I'll have to suck it up and get back to it. And there you have it, three paragraphs and nothing to say.

I feel the same with my blog at times. Just post pics of your lace - that is always a good post. I am trying to figure the shuttle out myself but I can't seem to tear myself away from my newest obsession, bobbin lacemaking.

David Lawless stands accused of planting anemic explosive devices at Colorado Mills on Saturday, around the same time a bunch of windows were broken at a nearby Best Buy -- and Lawless is the suspect in that incident, too. As for his reasons, they're not clear yet, as remains the case for Earl Moore, arrested for planting a small bomb at Southwest Plaza on the anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings.
Lawless was lawless prior to his alleged shenanigans at Colorado Mills. As noted by the Denver Post, he confessed to setting off a dry-ice bomb outside Shotgun Willie's to little effect in 2005. At the time, Lawless wrote, "I was at Shotgun Willie's and detonated a dry-ice bomb. I was just trying to pull a prank. I know I was really stupid, and I will not try it ever again. I am really sorry for all the trouble I caused."
He seems to have gotten over his distress -- not that the quality of his alleged incendiaries improved in the meantime. According to 9News, Lawless is believed to have broken into a Borders branch at the Mills through a glass door and planted explosives on a café area table and a computer desk. But when they went off, only a computer monitor on one wall sustained any noteworthy damage.

Later on Saturday, Lawless was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Clear Creek County, after which authorities in Lakewood, assisted by the FBI, determined that he'd been to the mall prior to sliding behind the wheel sozzled.
Why attack the mall? Police think the locations in question were mere "targets of opportunity" rather than anything terrorist-related, much as was the case with Moore. Given the timing of the latter's equally inconsequential attack on Southwest Plaza, the shopping complex closest to Columbine, most observers immediately leaped to the conclusion that the bombing was related to what happened at the school on April 20, 1999. In the end, though, Moore, who'd just completed a prison sentence for a West Virginia bank robbery that netted him less than $3,000, was charged with arson, not terrorism.
Is it possible Lawless and Moore had no overarching goal -- that they set off bombs at malls simply for the hell of it? Could be... and if they're guilty, thank goodness they were both so lousy at it. Look below to see a larger version of Lawless's mug shot.

Are there really six other movies this year that can compete with the visuals of Avatar, which is clearly on a mission for world domination? According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, apparently so. The Academy has announced these seven films remain in the running in the Visual Effects category for the 82nd Academy Awards: Avatar, District 9, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2012.
Thursday, Jan. 21, all members of the academy's Visual Effects Branch will be invited to view 15-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films, and then pick the three they think should make it to the final round on Oscar night. The Oscar nominations will be announced Tuesday, Feb, 2, at 5:30 a.m. PT.
Having seen all of these except 2012 (I just couldn't bring myself to do it), if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Avatar, District 9 and Star Trek being the final three, with Avatar being the big winner. What do you think?

Post originally appeared at NapkinMath.io.
The Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle has seen rapid growth and development into a walkable urban center for the residents of the south side. With the popularity of its shops, restaurants, arts venues, and bars growing, it has faced increased traffic and parking congestion. The addition of the Columbia City light rail station just blocks away has had a compounding effect as commuters taking the train to work look to drop off their cars in the surrounding neighborhoods for the day. So, the neighborhood and its residents are facing two kinds of pressure on street parking – one from commerce, and the other from out-of-area commuters.
Current Parking Zones in Columbia City
Currently, much of Columbia City's business core is made up of time-limited parking zones (shown in blue in the above map) that restrict cars to 2 hours or less. To the west of Rainier Ave. is an existing RPZ for the neighborhood (shown in orange), and to the west is largely unrestricted parking (shown in purple). Because of the draw of commuters to the light rail station just blocks away on MLK Jr. Way, much of the parking is congested to the east of Rainier Ave.
SDOT performed a parking study in 2015 which revealed that parking occupancy was over 90% from 10AM until well into the evening after 8PM. Further, while most cars stayed for only an hour or less, over 1/3rd of spaces were blocked all day by cars parked for 6+ hours. (Source, slide 12 has details)
SDOT's Proposed Parking Changes
In order to address these changes, Seattle's Department of Transportation (SDOT) has proposed changes to street parking near the Rainier Avenue Business District that houses the majority of commerce in the Columbia City neighborhood. Among several smaller changes and improvements, the city intends to address parking congestion with two measures:
- Extending the Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) to the east side of Rainier Ave., providing permit-restricted street parking access to residents and business while limiting remaining parking to 2 hours or less. (SDOT FAQ)
- Adding Paid Parking (shown in green) to the streets immediately surrounding the businesses in the Rainier corridor of Columbia City. (SDOT Mailer)
This is a good plan. It balances the needs of residents to have access to the streets outside their homes against the need for access to parking for the people who drive to Columbia City to take advantage of its commercial amenities. It could be better.
How to Improve the City's Parking Plan
In short, I believe the new paid parking zones in the city's plan should be extended to include all unrestricted (purple) and time-limited (blue) zones in the Rainier Avenue Business District. The reasons why are simplicity and longevity of the re-zone's effectiveness.
$1/hour Paid Parking is not by itself a large burden for the patrons who frequent Columbia City's shops and restaurants. It's some of the cheapest paid parking in the city (compared to as high as $4.50/hr in the crowded areas like First Hill or Pioneer Square, see the full rate sheet here). At a 2-hour limit, it doesn't represent a reduction in parking time over the existing time-limited free parking zones in the neighborhood. The largest problem with adding paid parking to the existing patchwork of parking rules is the confusion it adds to the search for street parking in the area. In the 2-block area around Rainier Ave. between S. Edmunds St. to the north and S. Hudson St. to the south, drivers will be faced with:
- Unrestricted Parking Zones
- Time-Limited Parking Zones
- Paid Parking Zones
- Restricted Parking Zones
- No Parking Zones
- Passenger Load Only Zones
This proliferation of zones adds to confusion and encourages more idling, circling, and searching for the ideal curb-side parking space. By adding the additional RPZ to the east of Rainier Ave. with this proposal, SDOT is removing Unrestricted Parking Zones almost completely. This is a great opportunity to further simplify the parking grid by limiting drivers to just two options: RPZ and Paid Parking. If the area is RPZ, you can park for 2-hours during the daytime. Otherwise, the parking is available and free to use with a small fee. No circling, no idling to read parking signs, and no further confusion about parking options in Columbia City.
If parking conditions in neighborhoods like Columbia City were continually monitored and updated to reflect changing usage, the incremental approach of SDOT's proposed plan might make more sense. After a few months of the initial paid parking rollout, the effect of the changes could be evaluated and optimized. Unfortunately, this is likely the last time parking zones will be addressed in Columbia City for at least 3-4 years. The city has other areas which also need attention, and SDOT doesn't have the luxury of placing a Transportation Planner on permanent Columbia City duty. Meanwhile, the city does adjust rates based on demand every year, meaning the paid rate could drop as low as $0.50/hr or as high as $4.50/hr should changes be necessary.
Because of this, it makes sense to plan for the longer term when considering this proposal. We have the ear of the city now to improve parking zoning, and we should take advantage of it. Columbia City is booming and with continued growth over the next few years, it will face more and more parking pressure from commuters and shoppers alike. It seems reasonable to anticipate that growth in demand by expanding the footprint of the paid parking area.

It's The End Of The Month And We Are Having Some Frugal Family Fun!
Sometimes money can get so tight that for the last week of this month I must start reverting to tips I used in my student days to make the pennies stretch farther. I don't mean eating beans on toast for every meal, or having pasta with,… err… pasta, but searching for more affordable ways to have fun with my son. So I thought I would share some of my cheap family activities for frugal family fun.
Low Cost Ways to Have Family Fun
Having little spare money doesn't have to mean boredom to your family. You can still have family fun without having to shell out too much. Here are some ways to keep your family entertained without putting a big dent to your finances, and keeping happy families and wellbeing.
Fun Things To Do As A Family
Grow a Green Thumb: Gardening is one of the most productive and less-costly ways to amuse oneself. In case you've got the kids helping, you can double the fun. You can have so much fun growing fruits and vegetables which you can also use to make your own meals. This means more savings for your family, in addition to promoting good health and family life.
Watch your Regional Sports Team. From soccer or rugby to cricket or hockey. Kids enjoy watching sports. Encourage your local sports team by incorporating yourself and your kid as part of its cheering team.
Keep an eye out for local free events, such as village fetes, city shows or festivals to visit. Check our magazine or website for event listings in the area.
Visit your local museum, which is generally free or has cheap admission, especially when they have family-friendly events or exhibitions running.
Turf out the crap in your, cupboards, attic or in the back of your garage and operate a garage Sale – get the kids to make some posters which you can put up round the neighbourhood. Great fun, and an inexpensive way to earn a little extra money.
Do you have a tent and some camping gear? Shake off the dust and set up camp in your backyard. Get the camping stove out to cook some bangers and baked beans for tea.
Purchase annual passes for cheap family outings. Check out their annual pass or family membership packages. Buy these at a time when you have a little spare money, or request them as a Christmas or Birthday present.
Get on the net for some free fun. With the majority of us using broadband with monthly payments instead of the old-fashioned pay as you go kind connections, using the world wide web is great when searching for family entertainment. Watch some humorous videos, or watch movie trailer clips to find out what's going to be released in the cinema. Additionally, there are loads of online games you can play for free, just do a search for free games and lots of sites will come up. You can even get nostalgic with space invaders and Pac-man. My son really enjoys playing on sites that are specifically intended for children, but that also have an educational slant, so kids will learn while they're having fun. These websites are all free to play, and you don't need to pay for memberships unless you would like to.
Have a family day. Whether you play Scrabble, Monopoly, or another favorite board game, watch DVD's together, or even getting into the kitchen to bake a few cookies or make a cake,Palm Bay Animal Trapping, setting a normal family day doing these simple and fun activities will condition your loved ones to look forward to less-expensive methods of having fun. It's a terrific way to bond with your family too.
Here's to plenty of low-cost family fun!

So, you find solace in the arms of the hills? Or you simply need a get away to a better temperature?
Here with whatever reason you might have, for a trip to the hills in India. We have come up with four Hills stations from Different parts of India for your perusal.
EASTERN INDIA – Shillong is the Best!
Shillong, also called the "Scotland of the East", the town is surrounded by rolling hills. Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya is just 55 km from Mawsynram, the world's wettest place.
Shillong boasts of no rail connection or a proper air connection, though it is well connected by roads with all major northeastern states. Private bus operators as well as state transport buses from other states ply to and from Shillong daily. Taxi service is also available to major destinations like Guwahati and Dimapur.
Places to look out for:
Falls, till you are overtly satisfied with water-
- Elephant Falls: The mountain stream descends through two successive falls set in fern covered rocks.
- Spread Eagle Falls
- Sweet Falls: It is the most beautiful of all the waterfalls in Shillong.
- Crinoline Falls
Panoramic View
- Lady Hydari Park: The Park stretches over a kilometer and has an adjacent mini zoo.
- Wards Lake: It's an artificial lake with garden and boating facilities.
- Shillong Golf Course: Shillong has one of the largest golf courses (the worlds wettest) in Asia. It enjoys the rare distinction of being one of the few natural golf courses in Asia.
- Shillong Peak: A picnic spot offers a panoramic view of the scenic countryside and is the highest point in the state.
– Capt. Williamson Sangma State Museum: For those interested in ethnic tribal culture and tradition this government museum offers insights to the lifestyle of the people.
SOUTHERN INDIA – Ooty is numero uno
It is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills, also called Udhagamandalam (sometimes Ootacamund). The town is well connected via rail and road, and it natural beauty attracts tourists.
There are a number of places one can look out for:
- Government Rose Garden-The Government rose garden is the largest rose garden in India.
- Ooty Botanical Gardens- The Botanical Garden is lush, green, and well-maintained. A flower show along with an exhibition of rare plant species is held every May. The Garden has a number of species, both exotic and indigenous,of plants, shrubs, ferns, trees, herbal and bonsai plants.
- Ooty Lake- The Boat house established alongside the lake, which offers boating facilities to tourists, is a major tourist attraction in Ooty
- Wax World- A wax museum that houses life-size look-alike wax statues of personalities of Indian history, culture and heritage housed in a 142-year-old bungalow.
- Toda huts- There are a few Toda huts on the hills above Botanical Garden, where Todas still dwell. There are other Toda settlements in the area, notably Kandal Mund near Old Ooty.
The Western India- Mahabaleshwar beats all
Mahabaleshwar strikes as a popular holiday and honeymoon spot, plus an important pilgrimage site for Hindus, as it adorns the Mahabaleshwar Temple. There are more than 14 points in Mahabaleshwar, which offers scenic beauty to the visitors.
Few of them are:
- Kate's point is located to the east of Mahabaleshwar and is famous for its view of two reservoirs, Balakwadi and Dhom.
- Needle Hole Point: One can see a natural rock formation with a hole in between, thus giving the name Needle-hole.
- Wilson Point is the highest point in Mahabaleshwar at 1439 m, Wilson point is the only location in Mahabaleshwar where both sunrise and sunset can be seen.
- 3 Monkey Point: Named because of the natural sculpture of the stones which looks like 3 monkeys of Gandhiji.
And here comes the region which hosts a number of hill stations- the North. Handling many competitors and yet emerging as an unprecedented winner is Kashmir.
NORTHERN INDIA- Kashmir wins the Race!
In the seventeenth century, the Mughal emperor Jahangir set his eyes on the valley of Kashmir. He said that if paradise is anywhere on the earth, it is here. So check it out before the real heaven knocks the door.
By plane Mostly all flights operate to Jammu, Srinagar and Leh.
By train The last stop on the railway line north is Udhampur, where you can catch onward buses or higher taxi.
However it's better to catch a taxi from Jammu as these are more readily available.
By bus: There are two ways to get in by land – via Jammu and up to Srinagar or via Manali in Himachal Pradesh and up to Leh.
Tourist attractions
- Gulmarg: Gulmarg is surrounded by dense forest. This place is famous for its golf hikes and highland golf course.
- Sonamarg: Also called the Meadow of the gold. This valley shows more amazing facet in Kashmir. It has Snow Mountains as its backdrop against the sky.
- Bahu Fort: This fort is facing the Tawi River and houses a temple of goddess kali in the fort.
- Mubarak Mandi Palace was built with the touch of three different styles, Rajasthani, Mughal and Gothic. Most famous part of this Palace is the Sheesh Mahal segment
- Peer Baba: This is one of the holy places for Muslim saints. It is one of the best trekking destinations around the world. In Winter, Zanskar river freezes up, and get converted into an amazing adventures trek called Chadar-The Frozen River Trek.
And when one visits these, the only lines that might cross the mind is : "There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, where you can sway"

French Ford Supermodel Anais Mali D&G Spring 2012
Sorry Ford Models but I'm reposting and profiling this one.
French born Anais Mali is absolutely gorgeous. She's some what of a newcomer having signed with Wilhelmina in 2009. She has since walked for Betsy Johnson, Vivienne Westwood, and Rachel Roy. It seems like this femme fatale doesn't just eat runways she has also landed print jobs for J Crew and Zink.
We have even have something in common. Screenwriting, looks, and brains. I love it!
Check out this interview.
Chanel Iman born to Korean and African American parents was undoubtedly a supermodel in the making. Chanel was born in Atlanta on December 1,1990 and started modeling with Ford Models by the age of 13. Her list of magazine appearances include Vogue, Vanity Fair(a personal fav), Harpers Bazaar, Time, and Elle just to name a few.
The Victoria Secrets Brand just made this princess an angel in their last show. I think she is one of the most phenomenal fashion models of this generation and she's only twenty-one.
Chanel, I just wanted to take some time out to show you some love. Now that you got your wings may the sky be the limit! Congratulations and continued success!

Music like dirt. Desmond Dekker & the Aces
In spring and summer of 1969 I was exposed to a sort of music for the first time in my life of which I only learned two or three years later that it went under the name reggae. Thanks to a special on Belgium television. Desmond Dekker (& the Aces) scored a number one hit with the song 'Israelites' in the Radio Veronica Top 40 in the spring of 1969. A very atypical song for the time, but followed by several other songs by Max Romeo and Jimmy Cliff. Being 9 years old, I assumed that the song was about Israel. It is not. It is about working hard for money to keep a family, were it not that the wife left with the children and the "I" does not want "to end up like Bonnie & Clyde". In other words about life on the fringes of society. Later in the year Desmond Dekker & the Aces scored a second hit 'It mek' of which I do not have any recollection. 'Israelites' is a song that can be heard to this day.
Looking for music by Desmond Dekker & the Aces I found this album: Music like dirt or 'Intensified '68, what appears to be the original name of the album. An album without 'Israelites' on it. Desmond Dekker produces music that is standing on two principles. On the one hand there is an older form of reggae, rocksteady and ska, while other songs are more reggae as the world would get to know it in the 1970s thanks to Bob Marley. Not unlike the music UB 40 unleashed on the world with its first 'Labour of love' album in the 1980s, that spawned so many (no. 1) hitsingles.
Music like dirt is an upbeat album. On the one hand because of the music that is so deliciously fun sounding. This has nothing to do with the quality of the recording. This is mono, with a sense of depth of instruments stacked behind each other. No, it is the backbeat that invites me to move my limbs. Even when sitting down typing this post, I'm moving my head, neck and shoulders. To the rhythm, but also to the guitar eruptions or the horns that kick in every once in a while.
The other hand is about the voice of Desmond Dekker. Dekker simply has a very pleasant voice to listen to. A bit high perhaps, but far from irritating. This is the only way to listen to Desmond Dekker that is left though. He died in 2006 at the age of 64 of a heart attack in London. He was born as Desmond Adolphus Dacres in Kingston, Jamaica in 1941 and started recording in 1963. His first hit in the U.K. was in 1967 with '007 (Shanty town)'.
Reggae has never particularly appealed to me. Somehow to serious and monotonous. This problem is nearly taken away by Desmond Dekker. The way the reggae rhythm is played on Music like dirt, it is infused with a pop element and the joy of singing harmonies. Dekker and his Aces, Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard, weave their voices together in intricate ways. High, low and in between.
A few songs stick out. I just love 'Rudy's got soul'. What a fun track. 'Personal possession' is heart felt, and I can only imagine what it could have sounded like nowadays. There's a lot of tape hiss on these recordings. And the hit? As said it's not on this album. The other one is. 'A it mek' was a logical choice listening to it in 2014. The rhythm and sound resemble 'Israelites' up to a certain extent. Having said that, the song has it's own quality. Just listen to the horn section and is just a little bit more upbeat. It can never compete with the impression imprinted in me 45 years ago, but may actually be a nicer song.
The more Music like dirt moves on, the more the songs turn into "real" reggae, while at the same time a song like 'Don't blame me' is so 1950s non-rock & roll U.S. music. A blend of two cultures and a good as well as nice blend it is.
Music like dirt is an unexpected pleasure. I expected nothing from this album, was presented with a sort of music that I know little about and was hardly familiar with. It managed to surprise me. This will not be the last time I've played Music like dirt, no matter how poor the recordings sound. Music like dirt is fun and has quality.
You can listen to 'It mek' here.

The parish website Venn diagram conundrum
7 comments:
I want to know, "Is this place legit?" I look for the bishop's name and links to diocese. I'm often frustrated that the jurisdiction is not mentioned at the top.ReplyDelete
Preach it, sister! Yes. First thing I look for. Eis polla eti who?ReplyDelete
as history of the church --- sic - churches in the usa goes -- legit is in the eyes of the beholder -- 15+ canonical jurisdictions, 30 + quasi/non canonical jurisdictions to say the least and each one claiming to to be the correct one!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
my question is what is gray hair percentage??????
that tells all
The parish web-site circle fails to note the photos of largely empty churches when the Bishop visits and obese people eating in the parish hall...ReplyDelete
I *hope* the language of the website reflects liturgical language, otherwise it means exactly nothing. If a place wants a slavonic liturgy I hope (perhaps in vain) they have the integrity to publish their information in that language.ReplyDelete
This is hilarious. And all too true!ReplyDelete

Katie got her very first pair of pointe shoes yesterday. We all might have been a little giddy:-). Local folks, I can't say enough good things about Heather's Dance Boutique in Manassas. They were so patient and they made it the special occasion that it was. (And no, I'm not being compensated to say that; I just genuinely wish for every little dancer the experience Katie had yesterday.)

Selena Gomez recorded a country song, but we might never hear it.
I know, I know, it's a lot to take in.
In an interview back in March about his upcoming album, country singer Thomas Rhett admitted that he collaborated with Selena. He said,
"We have this girl named Selena Gomez sing on a song on the record, and she's pretty cool."
So, it sounds like she definitely made a song on a country album.
But now, it's looking like we might not hear it!
In a more recent interview, Rhett said,
"Anytime the country world melts into the pop world, it's an interesting conversation. A lot of things need to go correct for it to work out. But yes, Selena did sing a song of mine. It's still sort of up in the air if it's going to actually make the record."
Why tease us if you have no intentions of following through??
Mostly joking, but still.
In a weird way, maybe it's for the best if this song never sees the light of day. If Selena really nailed singing a country song, our minds might explode. How can one person be so talented across so many platforms? And be so kind? Everyone who has worked with Selena has praised her positive attitude and kindness.
Long story short, it seems like there's a big question mark over whether or not this song will release. If yes, are we prepared for this iconic pop-country crossover?

Module 3 1D & 2D Kinematics (13 Days)
Module Components
Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and equations. Kinematics is a branch of mechanics. The goal of any study of kinematics is to develop sophisticated mental models that serve to describe (and ultimately, explain) the motion of real-world objects.
In the last unit, the student gained experience with motion through measurements and graphical techniques. That motion was limited to one dimension and the emphasis was on graphing techniques and interpretation of the graphs.
In this unit, the emphasis is again on motion, but in addition to taking measurements and graphing the motion, the student will be expected to perform calculations involving the motion variables. Basic kinematics problems with constant acceleration are important in their own right but are also used to develop problem-solving skills.
As the motion moves from one to two dimensions, the concepts of vectors become important. The student will learn to represent the vector quantities of velocity, acceleration, and displacement with vectors. With these skills, the variables of projectile motion (an important 2D problem) will be resolved. The motion investigated to date is translational or linear motion of a point object. Problems involving uniform circular motion of a point and rotation of a circular object are introduced with similar equations of motion.
Essential Questions
How can the motion of an object be described using more than just words?
How can mathematics be used to describe the motion of an object in a precise manner?
If we can measure certain dimensions of an object's motion, can we predict other unknown dimensions accurately?
How can an observer describe the motion of an object in one or two dimension using such quantities as position, displacement, distance, velocity, speed and acceleration?
Is this video real or faked? Can Kinematics help us decide?
Knowledge & Skills
Describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration.
The students will be able to describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations including, but not limited to:
Vectors vs scalars
Vector quantities of displacement and vector sum
Pythagorean theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
Displacement problems
Displacement = (initial velocity)(change in time) + ½ (acceleration)(change in time)2
Δd = viΔt + ½aΔt2
Speed problems
Average velocity
Average velocity = displacement/change in time
vavg = Δd/Δt
Instantaneous velocity
Vector problems
Acceleration problems
Acceleration = final velocity – initial velocity/change in time
a = vf – vi /Δt
Acceleration = (final velocity)2 – (initial velocity)2/2(displacement)
a = vf2 – vi2/2Δd
The students will analyze and describe accelerated motion in two dimensions using equations, including projectile and circular examples.
Including, but not limited to:
Projectile motion
Circular motion
Centripetal acceleration = (tangential velocity)2/radius
ac = vt2/r
Torque = (force)(lever arm)
Acceleration problems involving uniform acceleration and free fall using the kinematic equations
Key Understandings
The motion of objects can be described by words. Even a person without a background in physics has a collection of words that can be used to describe moving objects. In this unit students will understand how to describe the motion of objects using mathematical equations.
In two dimensional motion, displacement, velocity, and acceleration must be treated as vector quantities. The magnitude angle and component forms of vectors are used in studying these motions.
What are vectors?
What are the vector quantities describing motion?
What are the basic equations describing linear motion?
How are basic kinematics equations used to describe projectile motion?
Students may think that acceleration and velocity are always in the same direction.
Students may think that an object thrown into the air has zero acceleration at the highest point.
Students may think that velocity is a force.
Students may think contant motion requires a constant force.
Sttudents may think if an object is accelerating, then it is speeding up.
Students may think the distance an object travels and its displacement are always the same.
Key Vocabulary
Kinematics – the study of how things move
Vector – physical quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction
Scalar – specified numbers or units on a scale
Velocity – vector quantity that measures rate of change of position of an object
Performance Indicators
Graphically represent and analyze a problem situation related to projectile motion. Complete a laboratory report that includes the proper use of significant figures and error analysis.
Summative Assessments
This module will have a performance indicator as well as the unit assessment and one exam.

Democratic activists and strategists have launched a campaign to push fellow Democrats and independents to vote for Santorum to try to derail the more moderate front-runner Mitt Romney, a Michigan native and the candidate President Barack Obama's campaign least wants to face in the Nov. 6 election.
"I think Santorum is completely radioactive and will bring an electoral disaster to the Republicans — he could deliver Obama a landslide," said Michigan Democratic strategist Joe DiSano, who has launched one of the efforts to help Santorum. "We need to focus on the one real challenger to Romney."
The Republican vote is an open primary, meaning Democrats and independents can vote in it as well. Roughly 850,000 people voted in the Republican primary in Michigan in 2008.
Democrats made up 7 percent of the Republican primary electorate in 2008 in the state, according to exit poll data. This time around they could help Santorum collect many of Michigan's 30 delegates and give him a big win.
Roughly 12,000 Democrats expressed interest in voting for Santorum when they were contacted during a "robo-call" phone campaign organized by Democratic activists, DiSano said. But it is not clear how many will actually turn out on Tuesday.
The Democrats want to underscore how weak Romney is in Michigan, the state where he grew up and where his father was a popular governor. Still, Romney is running neck and neck with Santorum in polls.
Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, is a staunch opponent of abortion rights and gay marriage. He often makes inflammatory statements on social issues and is seen as much less likely to beat Obama in the general election.
"If Santorum wins the Michigan primary, Romney has some serious problems," said William Rose, a professor of political science at Albion College in Southwest Michigan.
"Romney will win Arizona easily, but the Republican Party leadership will start to panic even more than they already are. The stakes are very high."
Democratic Party officials in Michigan said they have encouraged crossover voting — but not specifically for Santorum.
"There has been some heavy social media activity here in Michigan — Internet, email, Twitter, Facebook — but we are not part of it," said Michigan Democratic Party chairman Mark Brewer. "Clearly these activists are making a judgment that it is better to face Santorum. That is their judgement, not mine."
A Romney campaign spokesman, Ryan Williams, accused Santorum of inviting Democrats to vote for him, a strategy he called "outrageous."
He said Santorum "is now willing to wear the other team's jersey if he thinks it will get him more votes."

NEWARK — Newark Mayor Cory Booker said this afternoon that he has "a quiet confidence" about President Obama's chances of being re-elected tonight but also urged voters in battleground states to wait out winding lines at polling places and make their voices heard.
Wearing a Newark Fire Department windbreaker and jeans as he discussed the city's preparedness for a Nor'easter that's barreling down on New Jersey a week after Superstorm Sandy left a trail of destruction in the state, Booker said he was encouraged by his early conversations with the Obama campaign about turnout in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
"The reports I'm getting from the campaign are really promising. Many people in those states have voted early in those states where available, and it's very promising voter turnout does not seem to be suppressed at this early time," he said.
Asked about the president's chances tonight, Booker said he fully expects Obama to carry New Jersey and New York, but that there is much work left to be done.
"I have a quiet confidence about the outcome, but there is a lot of work to do today," Booker said. "What I want folks to know is that we're seeing very long lines in battleground states and what we want folks to know is to stay on line."
Booker warned that the election could go down to the wire, and reminded New Jersey voters to get to the polls for what he considered critical matters like the Senate race between Robert Menendez and Joseph Kyrillos and a public ballot initiative regarding infrastructure funding for higher education.
"It's very important that people stay for it in the state because this will be a close election, we've seen it before," he said. "It will be very close in the battleground states.
Booker said he planned to head for the voting booth immediately after the press conference ended. The mayor, a key Obama surrogate who made national headlines when he seemed to depart from the campaign message and called some of Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney's time at Bain Capital "nauseating" earlier this year, will make appearances on NBC and CNN tonight.

New Zealand marine reptile vertebra
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Fossil IDI've got this very worn vertebral centrum from the marine Conway Formation near Oaro (Late Cretaceous; about 79-73 Ma) on the south island of New Zealand. The only two logical candidates are plesiosaur or mosasaur from this formation, both of which are known here. There are characteristics of both groups seen on this bone which is tripping me up a bit. One end face seems a bit concave and the other more convex which is a mosasaur feature, but then there also looks to be two distinct holes on the ventral side (see photo three) which could be the paired foramina that are characteristic of plesiosaur vertebrae. So i am left scratching my head! What do others think? Front face Dorsal view Ventral view (note what look like paired foramina) Lateral view
Oaro, New Zealand- Mystery weekend
McHorse posted a topic in Australia - New ZealandGreetings all, My 30th birthday is looming ever closer and I have discovered that my partner is taking me on a mystery weekend away. I have been chipping away at her trying to get some clues as to where we are going and I am now reasonably confident that we are going fossil hunting in Oaro. Since neither of us have been fosiling at Oaro before I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers on where to look and what to look out for. I cant wait!! Regards
Day Trips from Christchurch
Belle698 posted a topic in Australia - New ZealandHi, I have two days in Christchurch in April and I was looking to go fossil hunting somewhere close by I'm unfortunately over for work, so I only have the 7am to 5pm-ish available on two days - what would be the best place to visit? I've read a bit about Oaro and that seems like a must! Other than that I was wondering if people have been to Mt Cass, Motunau or other sites within a few hours of Christchurch and have a preference? I'll have a car so transport isn't a problem and I'm a farm girl so rough country/long walk won't bother me either (in fact would probably be preferred). Ideally I would love to find something, anything, Mosasaur for a nephew that is obsessed with them, but personally I'd love a bony tooth bird specimen or even just some nice petrified wood. That's the wish list, but happy to poke around all day and find nothing of significance as well - at least it would give me a good excuse to come back! Thanks for your help! PS - Happy to have company if any local hunters are free on a Friday

As a small business owner, one of the things that you'll have to do a lot of is managing multiple passwords. You will be required to memorize the password somehow to your PayPal account, website hosting service, email services, computer admin, and many others all the while ensuring that the passwords are hard to guess.
Thankfully, there are a few useful tools aka password management tools that you can use to manage all the passwords. If you're a small or medium sized business owner or a manager who needs to memorize dozens of passwords we suggest that you always get the premium version of the tools discussed below.
Dashlane Premium
Yes, Dashlane does have a free version, but it's for individuals and you are not entitled to extra features beyond just password management such as syncing across multiple devices, backups, and sharing. The premium version works on numerous devices and can handle much more than your passwords. At $39.99 it's an excellent option to keep track of all your credentials.
Dashlane works across iOS, Mac, Android and PC devices. You get unlimited syncing, and so the number of devices doesn't matter. One of the best features is that every time you change a password, it's synced to all members of your team. There is also an "emergency contacts" feature so you can give up access to a different set of resources in the event of an emergency.
A neat and tidy interface and dashboard displays all the used and reused passwords as well as which ones it considers are weak.
So, what's the password to the password keeper? Well, it's compatible with Google Authenticator and a fingerprint scanner if you have an iOS device. Other tidbits worth mentioning is the password generation feature which can create very strong and random passwords. The program also alerts users of breaches and when a password needs to be changed.
LastPass Enterprise
LastPass suffered an unfortunate data breach back in June of last year which compromised the email addresses, authentication hashes, and password reminders for many people. However, the actual password themselves were hashed (encrypted) which means that those passwords couldn't be cracked. That goes to show that despite the hack LastPass password management did work to secure what worth securing.
Available in 17 languages and on an array of platforms, LastPass Enterprise uses a special pricing structure which offers discounted rates as the number of users increase. Also, LastPass has begun introducing a bit of gamification to their system with the 'Security Audit' feature which helps find duplicate and weak passwords, then ranks them.
LastPass costs $24 per year, per user but the price goes down to $20 if there are over 101 users. The price goes down further to $18 for over a thousand users.
LastPass is also able to store data such as documents, credit card information, images, and IDs amongst other things. So, your most important data is always secure.
RoboForm is one of the most established players in the password management industry. RoboForm is also a lot more generous regarding pricing and features. What starts off as shareware, this inexpensive tool makes saving and entering log-in data a breeze. It also protects your contact data, and address so you don't have to continue entering that information each time you sign up for something.
RoboForm also manages notes, downloads, bookmarks and various other titbits. At $10, it's the cheapest one we've seen, and the 30-day free trial is enough for a small business owner to determine if it's something they want.
RoboForm allows you to save all the data to your PC. Alternatively, you can also create an online account which allows you to use the program across all of your computers and devices. However, you'll need to memorize the master password to your RoboForm account because it cannot be recovered once forgotten.
Extra features by RoboForm include a password generator, fingerprint scanner, safe notes, and will save smart card information too. You can also sync data via RoboForm's tray icon in Windows or via the browser.
When it comes to a tool that offers the most relevant features for the best price RoboForm is the best choice. However, if you need versatility and multi-platform support along with backup options, then LastPass is a good choice. Dash Premium is for business men and women who just want something that works right out of the box after the initial setup.

A unique new festival is coming to Denver, Colorado this weekend – PalletFest is the nation's first major upcycling festival, and it has been selected to be the city's first certifiably green event. On October 10th and 11th attendees will get to explore a giant shipping pallet maze, see the first ever pallet build off, view sustainable living demos, watch an upcycled fashion show, and shop from numerous art vendors. Live musical entertainment will be on hand, along with professional parkour athletes on an upcycled obstacle course.
PalletFest will showcase upcycling at its best: The practice of taking "waste" materials and using them to create new objects of greater value than the materials' original purpose. For example, an old wooden pallet can become a wine rack, a table, a house, and in this case…even an entire festival.
Over 200 Million pallets end up in landfills every year, and Colorado ranks nearly dead last in the nation for recycling. PalletFest aims to put Colorado back on the map through the practice of upcycling; and the city of Denver was chosen to host the festival for this reason. A certificate is to be presented by Denver's Mayor, Michael B. Hancock on the evening of the 11th honoring the festival as Denver's first certifiably green event.
Attendees will become more aware of the waste problems and creative solutions for it. This event is about Do-It-Yourself creativity and education as much as it is about entertainment and the environment. Not everyone will become an eco artist, however the movement has created new artisans and a market for them. This boosts local economies and brings attention to the waste cycle. The event is free to the public in hopes that PalletFest can expose as many people as possible to this cause.
PalletFest was created and successfully crowdfunded by eco-entrepreneur Kenneth Fisher. He aims to take PalletFest on a national tour following the initial event in Colorado.

The 44th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) will be held on May 30th through June 3rd, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois. Under a new policy, ASCO publicly released clinical trial brief abstracts two weeks before the start of its 2008 Annual Meeting on May 30th, where full results will be presented before thousands of cancer doctors. The new ASCO policy was intended to avoid stock trading on non-public information that was believed to have occurred under a prior policy in which ASCO mailed out abstracts under embargo weeks before its annual meeting.
I have provided hyperlinks below to a variety of cancer topics that may be of interest to ovarian cancer survivors. Please note that with the exception of the first "ovarian cancer" category listed below, the remaining categories will contain abstracts that address various types of cancer. H*O*P*E*™ will provide one or more posts that address ovarian cancer abstract highlights after the completion of the 2008 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 3rd.

The federal environment minister's end-run around the province is part of a wider effort to shut Ontario out of climate policy talks.
That's the claim Ontario environment minister Rod Phillips made Thursday afternoon, responding to plans announced by his federal counterpart Catherine McKenna to distribute national climate fund dollars directly to provincial institutions and businesses.
"While she says that she would have been happy to have worked together with us, her actions suggest differently," Phillips said at a news conference at Queen's Park.
"That is because they are not interested in a plan, they are interested in a tax."
Speaking earlier in the day at Milton insulation plant, McKenna announced the remaining $420 million earmarked for Ontario in Ottawa's Low Carbon Economy Fund will be paid directly to cities, institutions, and businesses.
Money from the fund is meant to finance programs to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.
"Our hope would have been to work with the provincial government on fighting pollution, tackling climate change, helping businesses with clean solutions, and helping Ontarians save money," McKenna said.
"Mr. Ford has taken a different path, making polluting free, and cancelling hundreds of projects across communities in Ontario."
Ontario programs set to receive funding include energy efficiency retrofits amounting to $100 million for schools and $64 million for hospitals, as well as electric bus programs in Hamilton and Brampton and hydrogen buses in Mississauga.
"If provincial governments under conservative leadership are going to step back, we are going to step up," said McKenna.
"We owe it to Ontarians to support projects they have developed."
Phillips said the Ontario government was elected with a "strong mandate" to end cap-and-trade schemes introduced by the Wynne Liberals, ones he described as "costly and ineffective."
"Last night, she cancelled the face-to-face meeting of environment ministers which was set to occur later this month, and today she's unilaterally walked away from the Low Carbon Economy Fund Agreement with our province," he said — describing the agreement as one the province signed 'in good faith.'
"It was this Prime Minister who promised a new era of relationships with provinces, but in reality — since August — they have refused to communicate with us about our plan or targets."
Ontario is just one jurisdiction in a growing chorus of premiers and provincial leaders taking issue with the feds' scheme that is now facing considerable resistance.
McKenna has said Ottawa will impose a carbon price on provinces that don't establish their own and then distribute the funds directly to residents.

Remove Climbon.top virus (Simple Removal Guide)
What should you know about Climbon.top search?
Questions about Climbon.top virus
Climbon.top search appears in user's browser unexpectedly, and this happens due to Climbon.top virus existence. Despite being non-malicious, this suspicious program can significantly affect your browsing experience by making you experience maelstroms of web redirects, throwing you to websites that can be highly dangerous.

Warren positioned to take advantage of Clinton's flaws
By Jonah Goldberg
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
In 2007, Democrats were delirious with rage about the
Today, the issue that obsesses the base of the
There's another component to the inequality obsession: populism. People increasingly feel that economic and political elites are enriching themselves, not by making great products or selling valuable services, but by cutting backroom deals and selling influence. This rage is remarkably bipartisan. It is the one theme that loosely unites tea partiers and
Obscure economics professor David Brat toppled House Majority Leader
Sen. Warren owes her left-wing hero status to the Democratic version of this kind of populism. She's been talking for years about how the well-connected "rig the system" for their own benefit. Now, I find many of Warren's proposed solutions -- more regulation, more taxes, more government, etc. -- abhorrent. But, believe it or not, I am not a Democratic primary voter. Those who are love what Warren is selling.
Which is why Warren is perfectly poised to be the Obama of 2016. And the role of
Warren would be able to defuse Clinton's greatest asset (her gender) and exploit Clinton's greatest liability (her wealth and how she came by it) while in the process generating huge excitement from the status-quo-weary grass roots.
Start with gender. The Clinton team is reviving the ludicrous claim that opposition to her candidacy is sexist. (They tried that line on Team Obama in 2008, but Team Obama came back with insinuations of racism.) What fun it would be to watch the Clintons try to spin support for Warren as sexist.
Then there's Clinton's wealth. Ever since claiming she was "dead broke" when she and her husband left the
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Clinton claimed that she's on the right side of the inequality argument because of the way she earned her money. The American people "don't see me as part of the problem," she explained, "because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work."
Many think this was a shot at Mitt Romney, and if it was, it's pretty pathetic. But even if Democrats think it's a serious argument, Romney will not be running in the Democratic primary -- unlike Clinton (presumably).
Clinton made her money by giving
Seen through today's populist prism, Clinton's record is a target-rich environment. For instance, in 1978, as a young associate at the Rose Law Firm and as wife of the attorney general and soon-to-be governor of
Clinton's "inevitability" is itself a kind of unearned special treatment during a time when special treatment for rich insiders ticks off everyone. Warren should say so.

The circumstances of each client are different. This is where Debt Management Solutions can be specifically constructed and applied to a particular predicament. There are some creditors or vendors who are willing to negotiate a debt repayment plan of paying less over a longer period of time in order to minimise their risk of losing money. Dealing directly with the creditor, can sometimes allow a bit of flexibility when working out a plan that suits both parties, as long as the debtor has not defaulted on previous payments.
By working with a debt relief agency, a debt management programme can be arranged where Debt Management Solutions can be implemented to relieve the financial pressure. Debt negotiation can help to lower payments without the need for lawyers or court intervention and protects against the consequences of a bad credit rating.
If you find it difficult to keep up with multiple monthly payments to several creditors, it may be easier to consolidate all your debt repayments into one manageable monthly payment. A debt management programme can be devised and tailored to your personal circumstances and can include negotiation with creditors on your behalf, to reduce or freeze interest charges. A flexible and practical repayment plan can then be constructed to help put you back in control of your finances. Debt Management Solutions can provide a flexible answer to all your financial debt woes.

House May Push Back Against Snyder's Detroit School Plan
Rep. Tim Kelly: 'We need to focus on what students need, not the adults'
The Michigan House should create its own plan to address the Detroit Public Schools financial collapse. That's what Rep. Tim Kelly, R-Saginaw, chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on School Aid, is recommending to his House colleagues.
"We need to respond to the Senate legislation with an alternative plan that would offer an avenue of hope for the students of Detroit," Kelly said. "It should have more innovation and not necessarily be operated by a traditional school district."
The Senate legislation Kelly referred to is Senate Bill 710 and Senate Bill 711, which would essentially enact Gov. Rick Snyder's plan to rescue DPS from $515 million in operating expense debt and impending bankruptcy. Sen. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, introduced the bills on Jan. 14.
Under Hansen's legislation, the Detroit school district would be split in two. One portion would have the purely administrative function of servicing the bond debt accumulated by the district. The other would be governed by an elected school board and manage the schools (including academically failed schools currently under a form of state receivership).
At the core of the legislation are financial arrangements to relieve the school district of its operational debt and allow it to redirect property tax revenue that currently supports school operations toward paying off its bond debt. Meanwhile, the state would cover the district's operations funding shortfall.
Senate Bills 710 and 711 have been assigned to the Senate Government Operations Committee, chaired by Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive. The fact that they weren't assigned to the Senate Education Committee suggests the bills could be headed on a fast track through the Senate.
But Kelly, who is also vice-chair of the House Appropriations Education Subcommittee, said the Senate legislation focuses too much on preserving DPS, a traditional school district with a long and troubled history. He said that a better approach would be a plan that puts the educational needs of the students ahead of efforts to salvage the district.
"We need to be focused on the students, not the adults," Kelly said. "It's the adults who seem to need traditional school districts; what the students need is functioning classrooms whether they're in a traditional school district or not."
When Kelly was asked whether the prospect of the courts intervening in the DPS situation was on his mind, he said it was.
"Yes, this needs to be done relatively quickly, but the real question is whether what we do is something innovative that could bring about real change or just something that's similar to what's always been done in the past," Kelly said. "Basically, Sen. Hansen's plan just cedes $250 million to DPS and resets the debt clock. Ultimately, it provides more of the same structure that has produced the same problems."
When asked whether his Republican colleagues would support his plan, Kelly admitted that it faces some resistance.
"Some education needs to take place both within my caucus and in the Legislature as a whole," Kelly said. "There are legislators who have a difficult time envisioning schools other than ones that fit the standard school district model. If we can provide information and they get to see some of the innovative ideas that have been successful around the globe, I think we could come up with an alternative to just doing the same things that have been done in the past."
Hansen said that if Kelly offers an approach that differs from Senate Bills 710 and 711, he would gladly take a look at it.
"I'm fine with him coming up with new ideas. I'm always willing to discuss new ideas and approaches," Hansen said. "Actually Rep. Kelly and I work together well. He and I worked on the School Aid budget and we ended up getting 99 votes for it in the House."
"What I'm trying to do on this issue is work with Detroit to put something together that isn't just the state telling Detroit what to do," Hansen continued. "I think in the past we tried to tell Detroit what to do and it hasn't worked out very well. But if Rep. Kelly comes forward with some other ideas, I look forward to seeing them."

I remember the day Ian was born. [His actual birthday, if you will.] After nine months of excitedly listening to my Mama's belly with my toy stethoscope, and impatiently wondering when new baby would get here already, Stephen and I were taken to the hospital to meet our newly-minted little brother.
We arrived, and Ian "gave" each of us a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal. I was instantly enamored, because this kid came with accessories. My love can be bought, apparently for $9.99 at the Disney store.
Of the four Peterson kids, two might be described as angelic, and the other two might be described as Ian and I. We were so startlingly similar that it was laughable. From his dry sense of humor and wit [two qualities in a person that I rank above compassion and integrity], to his overly-enthused love for theatre and music. When he was a kid, he attended every single play, musical, and choir concert that I performed in [and let's get one thing straight right now: we called them legion for they were many], and when we got home he would inevitably ask me to "teach him". Ash. That thing you did with your voice? How'd you do that? How'd that song go again? Show me the dance. And so we would crowd around the baby grand, or dance wildly across the kitchen floor as my eager understudy learned.
Ian and I loved singing together the most. It was perfectly normal to find us spending hours sitting at the piano, rotating who played and singing every song that popped into our heads. I miss that.
I miss Ian every single day. I miss him especially today, as a ten thousand memories dance across my mind and I long for heaven. I remember Ian sitting on my parent's back porch blowing out candles a year ago today, before everything changed. Just as vividly, I remember a three year old sitting in his highchair with blue frosting smeared over every inch of his face.
A friend told me yesterday that she planned to wish Ian a happy birthday, because he was still alive and celebrating it, just with better music and better cake. Yes. Today, I am not sad for Ian. I am unspeakably sad for the people who love him and miss him daily. Minute-ly. [To his friends going karaokeing tonight in his honor: thank you.] And today, I have nothing profound to say. Nothing to make it better, nothing to ease the sting. I'm just a sister that misses her little brother. I'm a sister that spent last night looking at every single picture of her brother tagged on facebook and watching every recorded song that he sang. I'm a sister that will bake a very chocolate cake with 22 candles, and blow them out alone in my apartment. I'm a sister that will bake a cake every year on July 12th, because this missing my little brother will never, never get easier. And I am a sister that will choose not to remember him as the cancer kid with his face plastered on luminaries and jumbotrons. I do not remember Ian as the kid who died—I remember him as the kid who lived. Who, thanks to Jesus, still lives.
A lot of you never got to meet my brother, and you've never heard him sing. He wrote this. :)
Happy birthday, baby brother. I love you so much!

Despite the fact that MADtv ran for 14 seasons it was an epic failure. The show never caught on with its intended demographic, had poor ad response and was a marketing bomb. Warner Bros. Television Distribution could not find a network that would run the show on a long-term basis. Finally it bombed when it was released to DVD.
Yes, I think that MAD tv was a sort of failure, because it never took off and became as popular as they thought that it would. Other big channels continued to dominate tv, and their channel was doomed from the start, since their shows were not all that good of ideas.
I do think that MADtv was a failure. I grew up reading Mad Magazine and it was so much better. This show was a very poor attempt at emulating a very funny magazine. Mad Magazine is classic and probably won't make a good TV show no matter how funny the actors are.
If you measure MadTV against it's closest rival, Saturday Night Live, then you can certainly consider it a failure. However, Saturday Night Live is a unique cultural phenomenon. It has lasted decades, and no other sketch comedy show can really compare. There really is only one way to answer this. Was MadTV funny, and did it attract viewers. The answer to both parts is "Yes."
No, I do not think MADtv was a failure. It ran for a really long time and was watched by a lot of people. During the peak of it's popularity almost everybody I knew was watching it every single week. I thought it was a success for sure and I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

To John Adams from Rufus King, 24 September 1800
London Sep. 24. 1800
Overtures, and some direct propositions on the subject of Peace have been made between England & France, as well as between the latter and Austria. indeed it seems that certain preliminaries, not yet entirely disclosed, were signed on the 29. of July at Paris by Count St. Julien on the part of the Emperor, & the disavowal of which at Vienna, has produced the stipulated notice from France that has put and end to the armistice—
We are now told that the negotiation will again fail to terminate the war, that the Emperor has placed himself at the head of his Army on the Danube, and that we may daily expect accounts of new Battles—Whatever may be the consequences, of this deplorable condition of Europe, to its principal States, I am mistaken if it does not revive a strong motive on the part of France, to bring to a conclusion the negotiation with our Envoys, whose continuance at Paris strengthens the hope of a satisfactory summation of their mission. Popular tumults occasioned by the dearness of Provisions have lately manifested themselves as well in London as in the chief cities of the interior of the Country; but the presence of the military has overawed the populace, and as the harvest has been plentiful it is hoped that the Provisions & especially bread will soon be attainable at a more moderate price. That food will be cheap while rents and Taxes are so highs is a prophecy in which I cannot believe— with / perfect respect and attachment I am Sir yr. ob. & faithful sert

Free FastPM Wizard™ Preview: PMP Hours Calculator
Here's a free working demo of a small part of the FastPM Wizard™. This part will calculate the months and hours you can claim for a project. You can use it now for free to estimate the number of months and hours you can claim on your PMP application for one of your projects.
Using our tools is much smarter than using a PMP application spreadsheet, template, or example PMP application you found on the Internet because unlike the people who created those, we have a ton of actual experience fixing rejected PMP applications.
The full FastPM Wizard™ will help you with much more including all the other fields in the PMP application that can cause problems with getting your PMP application approved. Or get FastPM Concierge™ and we'll handle everything for you to get your application approved quickly.
Complete the following fields and we will calculate the number of months and estimate the number of hours you can claim on your PMP application. We will email you the results along with some other free PMP application tips. Do not use a Hotmail, Outlook.com or Live.com email address as they routinely block transactional emails. By providing your contact details, you agree that we may send you any promotional marketing emails that we think you will find helpful and you agree with our Privacy Policy. You can unsubscribe anytime.
Your PMP application will need to show a total of 36 months of project experience (or 60 months if you only have a high-school diploma). You will also need to show 4500 hours of leading and directing project activities (or 7500 hours if you only have a high-school diploma).

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard Red Band trailer online
A red band trailer has arrived for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard online and it's looking like it has a little more to offer than the usual adult Hollywood comedy filled with swearing and body function jokes, although it does have a few. There's some interesting twists on the comedy of the sales guys.
The film tells the story of a struggling car showroom that has one last holiday weekend in which to be successful or they are closed down, so they hire the best salesman, Don Ready, and his team to save the day.
Jeremy Piven plays Don Ready, with co-stars of Will Ferrell, Ving Rhames, James Brolin, some nice cameos and some familiar comedy faces. It looks like it could genuinely be a good laugh and stand out from the standard comedies we're seeing, although the red band trailer you can see below has a fair mixture of on and off moments.
Have a look at the trailer for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard and share your thoughts. Are you a fan or not? Did it have you laughing insanely?

We need your financial support for programs development for family enhancement and premarital counseling Please donate
By: Khalid Iqbal, Founder of Rahmaa Institute
In a recent case of dispute between the young wife and her mother-in-law, I was asked the question, "who should back off?". There is not a straight answer to this question. Both sides felt that they were in the right. The young wife felt that her mother-in-law is meddling in their marriage. She is criticizing her for everything and anything that she does including; how she spends her time, what she wears and when she goes out with her husband. The mother-in-law is also constantly complaining that she does not help with the household chores. Read More
