Always Be Prepared For The Sun With Ultraviolet - UV Index
Ultraviolet - UV Index (Free) by Robocat gives you the information that you need to know about the day's UV level.
It's summer, or rather, close to the end of summer. But it's still pretty hot (especially here in California!), and the sun is around year-round. With the sun comes a lot of ultraviolet radiation, so Robocat wants to help you out!
Robocat is well-known for beautifully designed apps, and Ultraviolet - UV Index is no exception. I've fallen in love with their other apps like Outside and Thermo, and the design of Ultraviolet has won me over as well.
On launch, you'll see a gray splash screen with a shiny orb in the middle. The app will then prompt you for Location Services permissions, and then automatically gather your current location. What you're presented with is a beautiful screen that displays what you need to know about the current UV levels.
At the top of the screen will be your location, or any location you want to view. To view another location, simply tap it and drag the map around. I wish that there was a way to just enter in the location name rather than look around a map, though.
The UV levels for the selected location is displayed in a large font on the color-coded sphere in the middle of the screen. If you're familiar with the UV index, the number will be anywhere from zero to 15, and the colors will match the standards as well. Underneath this is the UV forecast for tomorrow at noon.
Underneath the sphere is a bit of torn paper and the level in text (very low, high, etc.), along with some information to help you survive in the current levels.
There's a little Robocat icon near the sphere that will give you contact information for the developers, leave a review in the App Store, or find out more of their apps.
Ultraviolet - UV Index is free to download, but supported by ads. There is an in-app purchase option of $0.99 to remove these ads and give you the full experience of this beautiful app, though it's not necessary.
I did experience one annoying little glitch though -- if you come back to the app after a while without fully quitting the app (kill it in the multitasking tray), the ads seem to keep getting pushed up on the screen, thus messing up the rest of the visual elements. The only way to avoid this is to kill the app after you exit to the home screen.
Currently, it seems that Ultraviolet will only support one location at a time. I hope there is support for multiple locations in the future, as well as an easier way to look for locations (I don't want to drag a map on the screen all the time to do this).
If UV levels matter to you (and I would think that you do -- we don't want skin cancer, do we?), then give this app a try. For a free download, it certainly doesn't hurt (not as much as the sun that's outside, anyway).

Things to look for when trying to find the best auto repair shop to bring your vehicle to
- Look for a tidy, well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in the service bays. You likely won't find hospital-clean conditions, but consider whether the facility's image and level of professionalism meet your needs.
- Look for signs of technician competence. The customer area should display trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced coursework and ASE certifications — a nationally recognized standard of technician competence
- Does the business have a sense of community? Service awards, plaques for civic involvement, customer service awards, membership in the Better Business Bureau and other consumer groups is a good indicator.
- Professionally run establishments will have a courteous, helpful staff. The manager, service writer, or technician should be willing to answer your questions thoroughly.
- Check online reviews. A reputable shop should have numerous online reviews. The majority should be positive 4 or 5 star reviews. Please be aware that auto repair is a volatile business and not everyone is always 100% happy.
Below are some images of our facility. We are proud to show how hard we work on our image and our compentency. You can trust that is we take as much pride in our own facility and image, that we will work even harder to provide you the best service possible.

Winterthur are ceramics from the Staffordshire potteries in England. During the first half of the 1800s, the Adams and Sons factory produced earthenware dishes, which were hand-painted with a lively design of red roses and green leaves. Today referred to as "Adams' Rose," the dishes were listed as the "Pa. rose china 23" by H. F. du Pont, who used them for Christmas Eve dinners
Du Pont's holiday tableware is the inspiration for the Adams' Rose collection by Andrea by Sadek. The collection includes scalloped dishes, boxes, a tea-for-one set, mugs and planters.

Icah Wilmot has conquered the 2015 Makka Pro. The contest was run in solid overhead waves in Southaven, Yallahs, Saint Thomas.
Jamaica's ultimate surfing contest attracted thousands of fans to the beach for a total of four highly competitive divisions. The 9th edition of the Makka Pro is one of the longest running surf events in the Caribbean.
In the Open Men's final, Elishama Beckford knew he had a tough opponent. Icah Wilmot is a multiple-time Jamaican surfing champion. After several wave exchanges, Beckford was left chasing an excellent, but his last ride just wasn't enough to beat Icah.
The Women's final had four girls battling for the title. Janice and Chrissana Wilmot, Sarah and Nadine knew what was at stake. Chrissana opened the final with a high score, but Janice waited for the best set and, in the right position, she got the wave she needed to be crowned champion.
Garren Pryce and Ivah Wilmot battled for glory in the 2015 Makka Pro Junior final. With good waves and long rides, both surfers were able to prove why they got far in the competition. In the end, Pryce took the win.
The Amateur final, the Farr brothers were able to claim the top spots in the podium. Jonathan Farr took the title to the northeast of Jamaica.

The composition of students within the classroom is a key validity concern for classroom-level, value-added metrics. Value-added models (VAMs) implicitly assume that teachers have the same kind of students across classrooms. This paper provides an overview of the value-added model classroom assignment validity concern, highlights the most recent and relevant research on the subject, and summarizes the implications for data quality and value-added modeling within the context for high-stakes accountability systems, such as those implemented by Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grantees.

Boys play basketball in front of the collapsed National Palace in Port-au-Prince
Bedeviled Haiti usually finds its way into international headlines for the wrong reasons: poverty, natural disasters, potential pandemics, civil war.
The curtain has been pulled back on another side to Haiti, namely the country's love for sports. As the website Grantland.com reports , Haitian basketball is booming against some especially long odds. In a country where many children don't have proper shoes, two semi-pro basketball leagues are thriving. (Not too mention a strong soccer program. Haiti's national team, Les Grenadiers, is No. 79 in FIFA's country rankings , well ahead of Canada at No. 110)
Basketball's surge in Haiti is an unlikely good-news story.
Haiti, population 10 million, has four basketball courts with roofs, and two outdoor courts that can't be used when it rains because the surface is too slippery. The infrastructure is so slip-shod in some areas that during a 2003 game, 15 spectators died when a live overhead power line collapsed and fell into the stands.
Still, basketball's popularity is surging, thanks in part to local interest in New York Knicks player Samuel Dalembert , who was born in Port-au-Prince and moved to Canada when he was 14.
Grantland reports that hopes are high for the six-year-old Association Haitienne de Basketball Corporatif , or ASHBAC, a six-team pro league that was founded following an earthquake in 2010 that caused $13 billion in damage and killed 150,000 people.
Player salaries, only $120 a month a few years ago, have climbed to $450. When one team, sponsored by a food processing company called Bongu, won the league title, its players were given a bonus of $1,000.
Two years ago, in 2012, the Senior Basketball League started, funded in part by Jasson Valbrun, a local businessman who offered a $10,000 prize for the championship team.
While the two leagues compete for fans, they are united in trying to establish a viable national team. More players are finding their way to U.S. college basketball through scholarships and funds are being raised for a national training facility. A stadium in the city of Cap-Haitien that had fallen into disrepair has been refurbished .
Perhaps one day soon, Haiti will participate in the Caribbean Basketball Confederation, a solid jumping off point for Haiti as it looks to compete in the international basketball world

The Lancet, Volume 388, No. 10061, p2739–2740, 3 December 2016
Authors: Bipin Adhikari, Shiva Raj Mishra
"Nepal is a low-income nation with a population of nearly 26·5 million. The doctor–patient ratio is 0·17 per 1000 population—substantially less than the WHO recommendation of 2·3 doctors per 1000 population. Nepal has seen a burgeoning of medical institutes in the past 10 years. However, this rapid surge in the number of medical colleges—with increases in fees and corruption involved in student admissions—has not aided undergraduate and postgraduate medical training, deteriorating the quality of medical education. The financial motives involved in these private medical colleges have further incurred political meddling, often resulting in disproportionate and unregulated licensing and affiliation to such colleges, which are not instructed to establish themselves in rural areas."

31 January 2016
Eros International & iDream Media have joined forces to release Power Star Pawan Kalyan's upcoming action entertainer, Sardaar Gabbar Singh in the overseas markets.
Sardaar Gabbar Singh is one of the most eagerly awaited Telugu films of 2016 and for good reason. Pawan Kalyan will be reprising the role of Gabbar Singh, a dashing and maverick cop who is posted to Rattanpur this time. The last time he played the role in Harish Shankar's Gabbar Singh, back in 2012, the movie went on to become the biggest hit in the Star's career back then.
The film is readying to be a high-octane mass entertainer with an original story.Besides the fact that the last Pawan Kalyan Starrer was the History making Attarintiki Daredi, two and half years ago, in September 2013, is only making his fans and movie lovers rave in delight about the approaching release date. After Attarintiki Daredi, Pawan Kalyan has only appeared in Gopala Gopala (Jan' 2015) in a very special role, as the God Himself!!
Between Attarintiki Daredi and now, Power Star's persona and magnetism have manifested in newer dimensions for the Telugu people as a concerned people's man and a courageous crusader.
For Sardaar Gabbar Singh, Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) is scoring the music and Arthur Wilson is the cinematographer. Kajal Aggarwal is teaming up with Pawan Kalyan for the first time in her career. The film also stars Raai Laxmi, Sharad,Kelkar, Sanjjana, Mukesh Rishi, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Posani Krishna Murali and several other leading actors from Tollywood.
The film's first look poster and teaser, which were unveiled on the eve of Sankranthi, went viral on the internet and from the official YouTube channel alone, the teaser got close to 2 million views in less than 10 days.
Directed by KS Ravindra (Bobby), the film, is being jointly produced by Sharrath Marar under North Star Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. and Eros International banner.The principal shooting of the film had begun in late 2015 and it's slated for release later this Indian summer.
With huge anticipation and positive buzz, Sardaar Gabbar Singh is all set to create a new benchmark in the Telugu Industry. For the Telugu audiences in overseas markets, Sardaar Gabbar Singh will be a veritable feast and an early summer for the US and Europe audiences. Keep watching this space for more details.

Today, EU finance ministers will meet to mull over a vice president of the ECB in what are the opening
Today, EU finance ministers will meet to mull over a vice president of the ECB in what are the opening manoeuvres for the bigger decision for EU leaders on a replacement for outgoing president, Mario Draghi. All votes are by qualified majority.
A win for the favourite, Spaniard Luis de Guindos, is a strong indication that a Northern European will get the top job.
Given that a German has never been president, the current head of Germany's Central bank, Jans Weidmann, is the leading contender. Weidmann has long criticised Draghi's policies of buying government debt bonds as it induces Eurozone governments to run up debt rather than belt-tightening and structural reforms.
The main challenger is Frenchman, Francois Villeroy de Galhau, head of France's central bank and a supporter of Draghi's monetary stimulus policies.
However, Weidmann's win is not assured. Southern Europeans bristle at the conventionalist German thinking as a threat to their recoveries and may choose someone like de Galhau as the anti-German candidate. Expect a lot of horse-trading to go on before the final decision is reached.

Running For My Life
I woke up this morning resolved to commit myself to a daily run (well, ehr, more like a really, really brisk walk) but I stepped out to a gloomy, rainy, windy day. The cold weather has made me more ambitious about my exercise regimen of late; I like that I can stay longer outside these days.
On good weeks, I am able to go out thrice a week for my walks/runs. I walk or run alone, with my iPod as sole companion , but along the way, I've made some nodding acquaintances in my route. There's this husband and wife team who jogs daily while holding on to oversized weights. I am amazed that they are able to keep a running conversation between them almost every time I see them. Every now and then, they acknowledge my presence and wave a chirpy hello, even as I wonder if they ever run out of things to say.
There's also this fabulously fit lady who runs with an iPod shuffle and heart rate monitor attached to her arm, a pedometer on her foot, and a cellphone in her waistband. She gives me a little smile every now and then, but mostly she keeps content monitoring her various gadgets as she dashes way ahead of me.
And then there's this old man who runs in the briefest of running shorts that seem very likely to reveal parts left unseen that I am embarrassed to meet his eyes when he runs past me (notice the recurring theme of people running past me?).
I like to observe them as they run or walk about. They help make the 3.5 to 5 km I cover more interesting, and with the music of Everything But the Girl, Basia, Sharon Cuneta, The Company and Christopher de Leon (I am still enamored with his "Awit Pelikula" album) in my ears, the distance seems almost bearable for my overweight, huffing body.
I like that I feel I am in control of my body, even as my weight has dropped off only slightly in the last few months. The weight I've gained since late 2006 is still a long way from being gone, but I feel more awake and more alive these days. And with Oprah confessing to having fallen off the wagon of weight control, I actually feel less guilty about regaining much of the 67 lbs I lost in 2004. When I feel the wind in my face, I feel like I can just about do anything. It's almost like a fresh start.
And so I don my running shoes, and my soggy sweats, and my Hello Kitty arm warmers, visor, and sunglasses. I sling my Hello Kitty bag over my shoulder, slip my pedometer on my right foot, and run. Run until my tongue hangs over my mouth. Until I can feel the blood pounding in my head. And then I take a deep breath and slow down to a brisk walk. When I feel less likely to pass out, I run again. In short bursts, I find I am able to run like the wind. And for a briefest moments, I am the wind.

text: Well we have a struggle ahead of us still. I so want to do what is right for my AS and give him every opportunity to heal and recover. We have completed all the application and assessments for long term rehab. We continue to be on the tightrope of bad behavior and addiction hell, while waiting for a bed. He does not bring drugs home. He declares to us that he wants help. He proclaims to his addiction worker and our family therapist that he has evryrhig under control and does not see the need for reahab. Mixed messages. He is failing school at mid term. Still doesn't go on a consistent basis. But insists rehab would interrupt school. He scrapes by doing the absolute bare minimum at everything. I am so fed up. Playing all ends against the middle. I am angry, sad, frustrated and exhausted. We have agreed to play this next phase out to the end of school term (which we all know he will fail to succeed at). He will fight the acceptance to rehab, and his choice will remain rehab or leave. In my gut I strongly feel this will not end well. I am feeling guilty for thinking that I just don't want to do this any more. I want to detach and not so much with love but self preservation. He stole money on Thursday and boldly denied it. Gas lighting at its best. He hasn't been home since Thursday afternoon. I sent him 2 texts yesterday. Not going to bother any more. It is Canadian Thanks Giving. I am struggling to find things to be thankful for. Not much of a post but just where my head and my heart are at.

In this day and age, home safety is no laughing matter. There are a variety of options available to home owners which come in different price ranges suited for each person's need. Safety doors are one such options that provide protection for homes. One may question the use for such devices citing that a sturdy front entrance can achieve the same purpose but for less and without making the house look like a panic room. This is a common notion that has lead most home owners away from using safety doors, thus this article will show you the benefits of installing a safety entrance.
Firstly they provide a first line of defense against home invasion or intruders. Most safety doors are manufactured with materials that cannot be easily broken down or tampered with. Most of them use mixed alloys or steel as the frame and high end products use special meshing technology with interwoven strands which provide support for each other. Most screens come with special auto locking mechanisms which require unique keys to unlock. Products such as Crimsafe use a special screw type that can only be adjusted by a special tool that is only available to the company. Its function is such that if someone tries to loosen the screw without the correct tool or tries to break the gate down, the screw will simply tighten rather than loosen. This means that unless you have the key to enter, the gate is very hard to break down. The argument against this product is a steel security door cost. While it is true that a good product will not be cheap but there are extra benefits other than safety that will make up for it.
Though safety doors are mainly for protection, they also have extra benefits such as ventilation. During the summer months, the temperature becomes almost unbearable but you don't have the luxury of keeping the entrance open for the fear of intruders but with a safety screen, you can keep the gate open while keeping your home protected. Since the entryway is open, the airflow of your house is increased decreasing the heat in your house. This also means that you will use less electricity since you will have access to natural air. So this will be easier on your electricity bill. So lowered power bill will make up for the initial security doors Melton.
As said before when one hears of safety doors they do not pay too much attention but in cities such as Melbourne where the crime rate is increasing every year, a first line of defense such as this might be a wise investment.

Happy Wednesday. Yes, we've looked outside and know there's not much happy about this dreary day. Winter, it seems, is eager to rear it's ugly head. Nonetheless, we've got a bunch of tickets for some shows tonight that will hopefully help ease some of the pre-winter blues. First up, is Meshell Ndegeocello at the Boulder Theater. If you're unfamiliar with her, let's just said that aside from being an exceptional, multi-faceted musician -- particularly as a bassist, she's truly worthy of being in the pantheon of greats -- she's a captivating singer and songwriter. A few years back, she appeared in Standing In the Shadows of Motown, a compelling documentary focusing on the Funk Brothers, the unsung studio aces behind that imprints earliest hits. For your chance to win tickets to her show tonight, drop us a line and tell us what Motown classic she covered. With the weather, if you'd rather stay closer to the city, we've also got tickets to see the Nadas, a band whose seemingly made Denver its second home, at the Bluebird, and Great Lake Swimmers at the Larimer Lounge. And we'll make it simple to get your hands on those tix. For your chance to win, tell us where each act hails from. From the correct answers we receive, we'll pick some winners later this afternoon and shoot you an e-mail to let you know you won. So be sure to check your e-mail between 3 and 4 p.m. Happy humpday!

Quad Learning, Inc Aha! Moment
Aha! quickly went from initiative to necessity.Dan Preiss, Product Manager
About Quad Learning, Inc
Quad Learning is a venture-backed startup that collaborates with leading community colleges to jointly develop and deliver American Honors, a competitive 2-year honors program designed for high ability students who plan to complete the remainder of their Bachelor's degree at a top-tier college or university.
We had a problem
We were out of sync and we knew it. Our product development roadmap was in place, but not accessible to everyone. We relied on countless GoogleDocs – documents, spreadsheets, and presentations – to create and work through the process of product development. The dispersed documentation meant that individuals on our team had to create their own system and way of organizing information. This made sharing with each other more complicated and forgetting to share important details more likely. This lack of visibility in a constantly evolving product roadmap made it difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Not being in sync slowed the process and took a toll on our productivity. We needed one tool to keep everything in one place throughout the product development roadmapping process that was both dynamic and easy to access for everyone.
Aha! as a solution
Aha! is the whole package, a true necessity for our roadmapping. It really keeps us focused and gets us where we need to go. Since implementing Aha! we have moved away from feature planning in our engineering system, which was not working for us, and now only push stories that are ready for development to Pivotal Tracker when they are well vetted. Aha! is the central location for all product development roadmapping including planning, discussions, estimation and reporting. We now build out dashboards using the Aha! secure web page publishing feature for our non-technical team members and the executive team to review. This means that we now spend less time manually creating views for all of the external teams and more time working with our developers on feature planning. That's what we were looking for – a central, cloud-based application that was a joy for everyone to use.
Life is good
With Aha! in place, we save time, communicate with ease and have shifted the focus onto building out the best products for our customers. We have all our product development strategy, releases and features in one place. We can easily schedule releases, track and prioritize features and communicate all of this to our team and others dynamically. We use Aha! as our central location for everything! And while once cumbersome, our external communication in Aha! is so easy it has even boosted our collaborative capabilities with our customers. We love Aha! because it puts us all on the same page and lets us get back to the business of building great products.

Atlanta — Senior congressional and state officials called Wednesday for a federal probe of possible criminal violations at a Georgia peanut processing plant linked to the nationwide salmonella outbreak.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Over the last two years, Peanut Corp. of America found salmonella in a dozen internal tests of its products, but shipped them anyway after getting new tests. The Food and Drug Administration says the company did not initially disclose that to investigators trying to solve the current salmonella outbreak.
The company's actions "can only be described as reprehensible and criminal," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., who oversees FDA funding. "Not only did this company knowingly sell tainted products, it shopped for a laboratory that would provide the acceptable results they were seeking. This behavior represents the worst of our current food safety regulatory system."
In Georgia, the state's top agriculture official joined DeLauro in asking the Justice Department to determine if the case warrants criminal prosecution.
"They tried to hide it so they could sell it," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin. "Now they've caused a mammoth problem that could destroy their company — and it could destroy the peanut industry."
Rogue operator
There was no immediate response from Peanut Corp., which owns the Blakely, Ga., processing plant at the center of the investigation. The company has previously said it fully cooperated with the salmonella investigation.
More than 500 people have gotten sick in the outbreak, which is continuing, and has been linked to at least eight deaths. More than 390 products containing peanut butter or peanut paste have been recalled. They range from Asian-style cooking sauces, to ice cream, to dog treats. However, major national brands of peanut butter are not affected.
SalmonellaThe peanut industry also condemned the company, portraying it as a rogue operator.
The FDA's findings "can only be seen as a clear and unconscionable action of one irresponsible manufacturer, which stands alone in an industry that strives to follow the most stringent food safety standards," Patrick Archer, president of the American Peanut Council, said in a statement.
Irvin, the Georgia agriculture official, said he was outraged by the company's actions and said a state criminal probe was possible. He would not, however, specify which Georgia laws the company may have violated for fear it would help the company start planning its defense.
"We're still trying to see exactly what our options are," said Oscar Garrison, Georgia's assistant agriculture commissioner, who oversees the consumer protection division. "A lot of questions have to be answered."
Meanwhile, state lawmakers were drafting a plan to require food makers to report the results of internal inspections to state officials, something the peanut plant in Blakely wasn't required to do.

WordPress is software for blogging or CMS (content management system) that is really popular at the present time. A data showed that WordPress gets 40% market share from the whole CMS users in the world. This is a fantastic result because its closest competitor, Drupal, is only getting not more than 2% from the total of market share in popularity aspect. In the other words we can say that WordPress has great and powerful power for many bloggers, e-commerce and many more. Many interesting and easy features that are offered by WordPress attract a lot of companies for using WordPress and this thing triggers many WordPress Web Hosting Company appears. This is one of the reasons why most people prefer to choose WordPress than the other CMS.
With much WordPress Web Hosting Companies that we can find nowadays, choosing the best one is maybe a really difficult thing to do. Especially for a newbie or a beginner that is new on this world. However, you may not be worried because we ill share some of the easy teps in how to get ony the best WordPress Web Hosting Company that will mean a lot for your websites. Below are some quick tips that you can do in order to choose only the best WordPress Web Hosting Company.
- WordPress works really well with Linux Hosting and Windows Hosting. That is why; you have to make sure that you choose the web hosting company that provides these kinds of web hosting type. Choosing the best web hosting company will protect you from some problems such as the incompatibilities that maybe related with the WordPress and Plug In usage.
- WordPress Web Hosting Company has to support the newest PHP and at least it supports PHP 4.3 Web Hosting. This is something that you have to consider. There is also a support of MySQL 4.1.2 or maybe more.
- The best WordPress Web Hosting Company needs to have mod_rewrite to be activated on a server.
- Makes sure that a WordPress Web Hosting Company doesn't make any rules or boundaries about file accessing rights such as you have to avoid a wordpress web hosting company that states "all the scripts have to use 755 file permissions to execute". It can give you some frustrations and problems along the installation probes and Upgrade Process of WordPress.
- WordPress will work really well on a paid hosting company. Why? It is because all the PHP Functions that are essentials to use are activated. If you used a free web hosting company, there will be a bigger possibility where you may not get a maximum result because there are some certain functions that are limited. That is why; it is better for you to try to make a website with CMS Wordress base in a web hosting company that is provided premium for the owners of a website.

It was 2010. He and she were 18 years old, starting fresh at college. She had been sheltered most of her life, meaning that college was unlike anything she could have imagined. He grew up with no rules, seeing college as another experience.
He wanted to be a dentist. She had no clue what she wanted.
She remembers the beginning as a quick glance into her neighbors room, seeing him for the first time playing with a soccer ball. He was unlike any guy she had ever seen but she figured she would never see him again. Obviously, she was wrong. He to this day doesn't believe this statement.
He had come down to the fourth floor to see his friends from back home. He was two floors above them but still in the same building.
On her third day, she sat in her half empty room since her roommate backed out and left before she had even arrived. All the doors down the hallway had been left open so that people on the floor could mingle. She had been an introvert her whole life but decided today was the day to step out of her comfort zone and just open the damn door.
After an hour went by with no visitors, she was about to give up hope. She did, unfortunately, happen to be at the end of the hallway where no one ventured too often. Facebook, at this point, was her entertainment and only connection to anyone she knew.
He was again on the fourth floor visiting his friends from high school. He and his roommate, also a buddy from back home, visited each day since they moved in. They were submerged in idle conversation until he realized his roommate was suddenly missing. He went to look for him, soon finding him halfway through the doorway across the hall. Curious, he stuck his head in as well.
There he was. The guy she'd seen the other day just standing in her doorway. Her heart started pounding in her chest as they all began to converse.
Hours and a stop at Coldstone Creamery went by as they felt the connection instantly. When the night came to a close, he offered to walk her to her room. Just before he left, he kissed her. She was consumed by it, as was he. Not wanting to rush anything, he left her there after that. She would later come to respect his decision based on the longevity of their relationship, along with its strength.
They spent every second they could together deciding, at first, not to date, and dragging each other through a messy start. Finally, four months in…It all began with a poem and four roses. Though there were rough patches from there and a two month breakup, they have never been stronger or closer.

Science Fair Project Kits
Science Supplies for Schools
Science Supplies for Students
More Free Science Projects
Best Science Project ideas recommended for 2008-2009 school year
A group of project
advisors at ScienceProject.com identified the 10 best science
projects for the school year 2005-2006. Not surprisingly, most
of these projects are related to energy, environment and
health. Selections are based on the educational value,
attractiveness, versatility and availability of materials and
equipment or kits. The 10 best projects are listed below:
In this project you will experiment
making electricity using a revolutionary method. You may call this air
battery because it uses the oxygen from the air. You may also call it
salt water battery because it uses a solution of salt water as electrolyte.
The electricity you produce can be
high enough to light up a light bulb. You can extend the power by
adding oxygen.
You can also perform
experiments to see how does the amount of salt, the amount of oxygen,
or the size of electrodes affect the amount of electricity or the
battery life. Write your results in a table and use them to draw a
graph. Recommended for ages 11 to 18. This is an experimental (investigatory)
project. [See More Details]
In this project you will experiment
making electricity by spinning a magnet inside a wire coil. This is
the principle of electric generators. Make all parts using wood; only
the magnet and wire will be non-wooden material.
The electricity you produce can be
high enough to light up a light bulb; however, it will just flicker if
you spin the magnet by hand.
Fruit Battery
(Make Electricity From Fruits)
Even fruits can make electricity and
if you be lucky, you may even get enough electricity to light up a
light bulb. The electricity produced by fruits can easily be measured
using a multi-meter. In this project you compare different fruits for
the amount of electricity they can produce. Find out if sour taste and
acidity of fruits can contribute to the production of
This project is a safe version of
other battery projects that use corrosive chemicals.
DNA is a nucleic acid that contains
the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all
cellular forms of life. By changing parts of DNA, scientists are able
to produce plants, animals and other live organisms with new properties
and abilities. Genetically modified crops and genetically modified
fruits are widely known and used.
For students who like biology and
want to understand the structure of DNA, making a DNA model can be an
exiting display project with special learning benefits.
Starch test has been the most
versatile science project in the past few years. Students can modify
it and make totally new projects that are all based on starch test.
Some variations of starch test program are:
(Simple Electric
Combine the joy and
excitement of mechanical toys with your science project
by constructing an air propelled motor boat. This is
also a good way of learning about simple electric
circuits. Your boat will have a battery, a switch and a
motor with propeller. This can be used as a science
project related to electricity, force or floatation.
This idea is good for a display project, an engineering
project and an experimental (investigatory) project.
With your kit you may also
receive four sheaves that may be used as wheels. Sheaves are
almost like the ring in a bicycle; they are just missing the
tiers. Students often use sheaves to make pulleys as a part of a
simple machine project.
Gauss Rifle
MiniScience's Solar Racer
activity introduces students to alternative energy concepts
while incorporating problem solving, design and modeling. In
addition, students will experience using hand tools as they
construct their solar vehicle.
Students can explore:
The solar cell panel generates an
electrical charge that is stored in a battery and used to provide
energy as the vehicle is driven. The lighter the vehicle, the less
energy used and the farther the vehicle will travel. In cloudy days,
or at night, energy can be drawn from reserve batteries. In the
future, charge stations will be located on the road sides for quick
battery charging.
Pulley Motor
Design ideas
This page
provides some pictures and ideas on how a pulley motor car
may be constructed. It is not meant to serve as a
step-by-step recipe or assembly instructions. You may use
these ideas to complete your own design and construct your
own model of pulley motor car. Some pictures may show parts
that are different in shape, size or color from what you may
have in your kit.
An electromagnet is by far the
most important electrical structure that exists in almost all
electronic devices. Most of today's Radios, televisions, door
bells, telephones, telegraphs and computers could not exist
without electromagnets.
Four other projects in
this group are:
Bacteria growth (13
Magnet levitation (Kits
Solar Energy (No
information available, Kits
are available at MiniScience)
Conductivity (We are
waiting to receive information about conductivity projects from

Souvenir Sunday
Following up on yesterday's post, a loyal reader sent in these scans. Proof positive that there was a "Bewitched" and "Grad Nite 1961" connection.

The Whitman puzzile is interesting: somebody had the presence of mind to keep the ORIGINAL art for the Whitman company and have been selling them on eBay lately. I've seen some fairly obscure/inconsequential pieces go for $400, I'd hate to think what the Tea Cups art would be worth.
Nice try on the faux "Bewitched" gate pieced, you old bamboozeler you.
Hanna Barbera did that animation: no way is it going on anything that says "Disney".

Would it be okay to plug a site?
has lots of amazing stuff and plenty of Disney-related downloads. I mention it because he says that 2009 will be his last year. Maybe someone else =ahem= can host the relevant stuff in the future.
Get this stuff while you can.

Steve Winders reviews Charles Norton's new book about four immensely popular characters from the Golden Age of British Radio
The author also details the various attempts to track down lost episodes of all these serials, which make interesting stories in themselves. The B.B.C. were notorious for the way they wiped so many popular programmes. All three of their series have missing episodes and in all cases more have been found by determined enthusiasts. The B.B.C. kept just a small sample of the Dick Barton episodes and it was Norton himself who recently tracked a large collection of Australian re-recordings, which are currently being released on CD in Britain. Radio Luxembourg proved even worse than the B.B.C. in looking after its Dan Dare episodes. At the time of writing, only two episodes of the hundreds made, were known to have survived. Despite the lack of surviving episodes, Norton has provided transmission details for all the programmes and where possible, brief synopses of the stories. He has also interviewed many surviving key figures from the serials, including Charles Chilton, the creator of Journey Into Space and the actors, David Jacobs and Desmond Carrington. Of course, many of those involved are now deceased, but he has drawn upon a wide range of past interviews to ensure that they too have their say.
The book has a curious Foreword by Nicholas Parsons, in which he extols the virtues of radio drama over the years without referring specifically to any of the four featured series and reserving special praise for the efforts of Val Gielgud, as Head of the Drama Department at the B.B.C. Gielgud is then severely criticised by Norton in the book for his disdain for popular taste and squarely blamed for the cancellation of Dick Barton! However this clash of opinions makes this foreword more interesting than the vacuous unqualified praise for the forthcoming contents that are found in most forewords.
There are no photographs in the book, which is, after all about sound, not images. Appropriately, the cover is a picture of a radio mast. Serial Thrillers is available as a softback book at £16.99, from Kaleidoscope Publishing or from Amazon.co.uk and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in these heroes of radio.

serf, under feudalism, peasant laborer who can be generally characterized as hereditarily attached to the manor in a state of semibondage, performing the servile duties of the lord (see also manorial system). Although serfs were usually bound to the land, many exceptions are found in the medieval economy of Western Europe, and, serfdom, as an institution, assumed a number of different forms in Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Serfdom also appeared with feudalism in China, Japan, India, pre-Columbian Mexico, and elsewhere.
Serfdom is distinguished from slavery chiefly by the body of rights the serfs held by a custom generally recognized as inviolable, by the strict arrangement that made the peasants servile in a group rather than individually, and by the fact that they could usually pass the right to work their land on to a son. In Western Europe during the Middle Ages the status of manorial peasants was regulated by local custom, and a wide diversity of names was applied to the various types of tenancy, which extended from the completely servile tenant to the freeholder who paid only a form of rent. Many serfs were theoretically subject to labor service at the will of the lord and in many cases the lord had the right to arrange the marriage of his serfs, but all such matters came to be governed by set customs. In legal theory the serf's holding was granted at the will of the lord, but in practice the right to hold came to be hereditary.
Serfdom sometimes arose from the conquest of a people by victors who did not reduce the natives to slavery but only depressed them to tributaries; these tributaries held their lands as of old, but paid dues (especially labor dues) to the conquerors. Thus serfdom was established in some Aegean regions by Greek conquests. More generally it may be said that serfdom arose only under a local agricultural economy, connected with a political system based on personal contract—some form of feudalism.
See also slavery; peonage.
Serfdom was known in the Hellenistic civilization, and in the Roman Empire economic maladjustment led to the appearance of the servile class, the coloni. In the Middle Ages, serfdom developed in France, Italy, and Spain, later spread to Germany, and in the 15th cent. was carried to Slavic countries. It developed separately in England (where serfs were more commonly referred to as villeins), and became widespread by the end of the 10th cent. While the majority of peasants were serfs during the Middle Ages, free peasants continued to exist and in some regions whole villages did not come under the rule of a lord. In Western Europe the breakdown of the manorial system allowed peasants to obtain more freedom in the 14th and 15th cent.
Serfdom disappeared in England before the end of the Middle Ages. In the Hapsburg monarchy, it was ended (1781) by Emperor Joseph II, but feudal labor service (robot) continued in some provinces until 1848. In France, where it survived in outlying provinces, serfdom was swept away by the French Revolution. The repercussions of the Napoleonic Wars helped to destroy it elsewhere, the most notable example being the reforms of Karl vom und zum Stein in Prussia. In Russia and the other Slavic countries serfdom took different forms and persisted in some cases as late as the 19th cent.
In Russia serfdom originated during the 16th cent. when Ivan IV created a new landholding aristocracy, the pomiestchiks, whose tenure was based on service to the czar. Beginning in 1581, laws were passed inhibiting the free movement of the peasant tenants of the pomiestchiks; however, at this time the peasants still retained their civil rights. In the reign of Peter I the peasants were definitely bound to the landowner rather than to the land; their condition became virtual slavery. There were also real slaves in the Muscovite state, and in the 18th cent. all real distinction between slaves and serfs was abolished. As can be seen, the institution was more akin to slavery in the United States than to serfdom under feudalism.
Serfdom reached its peak in the late 18th cent. under Catherine II but was somewhat limited by reforms under Alexander I and Nicholas I. It was regarded by the majority of Russians as the major defect in the Russian state and as contrary to the interests of the rising industrial class and of the great landowners. It was the small landowners who risked losing everything if serfdom were abolished, and it was that class that most stubbornly resisted reform. The serfs were freed only in 1861 by Alexander II (see Emancipation, Edict of).
See M. Bloch, Feudal Society (2 vol., 1961); J. Blum, Lord and Peasant in Russia From the Ninth to the Nineteenth Century (1961); R. H. Hilton, Decline of Serfdom in Medieval England (1969); G. A. J. Hodgett, A Social and Economic History of Medieval Europe (1972).

Ready for more princess Amy Adams and singing birds? The writer/director team behind 2007's hit musical/fantasy Enchanted are set to reunite for a new untitled film for Sony Pictures Animation. The plot is being kept under wraps, though the film is said to be a live-action/CG hybrid a la Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Variety reports that David Sussman will write the script, while Kevin Lima will direct and produce.
I was pleasantly surprised by Enchanted in that Disney went the DreamWorks route by parodying the ridiculousness of their fairy-tale stories, while at the same time maintaining the staples of their classic fairy-tale stories with a huge dose of heart. It'll be interesting to see what Lima and Sussman do here without the Mouse House's involvement. The most recent film from Sony Pictures Animation was 2009's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which was a fairly large-sized hit for the studio. Lima was previously set to direct Hugh Jackman in Avon Man, but that project was shut down shortly before filming. More details on this new untitled project are sure to come when Sussman finishes the script.

Welcome to my Christmas countdown!
Above is a picture of my Advent calendar.
One of the best dollar store purchases ever!
Each day in December, the kids are able to move the candy cane to the current day. And each number has a pocket underneath, which has a slip of paper in it with a Christmas activity.
Tonight, for example, we are going to put up the small tree in the downstairs family room. (It's the room with the tv, so I like to have a small one down there so I can see it while watching tv.)
The kids had great fun decorating our big tree, and I've saved some of their ornaments to put on the small one.
The month is filled with a lot of other fun activities, such as Polar Express, making Christmas cookies for their teachers, Holiday Lights at the zoo, seeing Santa, and more.
And for fun, here is a picture of Santa's sleigh. Apparently the Three Wise Men, the innkeeper, and an Angel are also needed to help the sleigh fly.

How to Replace Your iPhone Battery for Free
Apple is offering fixes for battery issues on 6s models.
If you have an iPhone and have been experiencing power issues lately, you might be able to get a free replacement battery for free, courtesy of Apple. After many users complained that their phones had been shutting down unexpectedly after upgrading to the new iOS, the company announced the replacement program. Unfortunately, only a small number of iPhone 6s models are eligible, specifically those that were manufactured between September and October 2015.
To find out if your phone is eligible, you should check your phone's serial number by looking at the back of your iPhone, or going to Settings>General>About. Next, check the 4th and 5th characters on the phone for one of these: Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, QC, QD, QF, QG, QH, QJ. You can also go to an Apple store to confirm your phone's eligibility.
If your device is part of the program, you can contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Apple Retail Store, or Apple Technical Support to see if same-day battery replacement service is available, or if a replacement will need to be ordered. To prep your phone before you get it fixed, Apple recommends backing it up to ITunes or iCloud, turning off the Find My Phone feature, and erasing data and settings by Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Also, if your iPhone has a cracked screen, that might affect the repair, so you might need to get that fixed first.
