Technology developed by local air-conditioning pioneers created a livable climate indoors that fueled the Valley's midcentury growth
"Air-cooled." In the late 1920s, this simple but magical phrase changed Phoenix forever. When a hotel, theater or department store featured such signage, it meant a refuge from the brutal summer heat – and an instant advantage for Downtown businesses.
But air conditioning was more than the innovation that made Phoenix livable year-round. The city became the Silicon Valley of air conditioning, led by the pioneering Goettl brothers and Oscar Palmer. More than 30 companies manufactered evaporative coolers by 1940, from one-person outfits to production plants. The combination of research, manufacturing and adaptation of this nascent technology led Phoenix to tout itself as the "Air-Conditioning Capital of the World."
At first blush, sleeping porches seem a nostalgic remnant of Phoenix's past, like the bell of a trolley car. The reality was more like a cold shower. Before cooling systems became affordable in the late 1930s, residents slumbered in screened outdoor rooms or lawns, wrapped in damp sheets, hoping to catch a breeze. "There were 'sprinkler brigades' in many neighborhoods, where people would sleep outdoors on cots with sheets over their bodies," Adam Goettl told the Arizona Republic in 1990. "They'd all take turns hosing each other down."
As a result, every summer, many wives and children abandoned Phoenix and moved to cool mountain locales. So widespread was this exodus that the Santa Fe Railroad had a "summer widowers' train" which departed Phoenix at 3 p.m. on Saturdays for husbands to visit their families in Prescott.
Willis Carrier, an engineer from New York, invented the first modern air-conditioning system in 1902 by sending air through coils chilled by cold water. Twenty years later he improved on his design, adding a compressor to aid in the circulation of the refrigerant to reduce the unit's size. Manhattan's Rivoli Theater became the first air-conditioned commercial building in 1925.
Air-cooling technology soon made its way to Phoenix. The Adams Hotel became "cooled by refrigeration" in 1928, followed by the Hotel San Carlos, the Hotel Westward Ho and the Orpheum Theatre. "Carrier custom-designed and installed these massive air-conditioning systems, shipping them to Phoenix by train along with their installation engineers," says David Heiman, a longtime instructor at The Refrigeration School Inc. in Phoenix. "Today, cooling a similar building would use a unit roughly one-third the size."
While commercial buildings became air-cooled, only wealthy homeowners could afford the technology. Most residents used another method to keep cool. Evaporative coolers – colloquially called "swamp coolers" – lowered the temperature of the air through the evaporation of water. These were particularly effective in Phoenix, with its low summer humidity (save for the monsoon).
DIY enthusiasts experimented with makeshift coolers in the 1930s: garden hoses dribbling water over charcoal in boxes, with fans blowing the cool air inside through a window. "Everything was jury-rigged," John Goettl, the brothers' 75-year-old nephew, says. "But the summers weren't as awful, with all the irrigated farms. Phoenix wasn't the heat island it is today." It isn't his imagination: Six of the eight hottest recorded summers in Phoenix have occurred since 2000.
From this cottage industry, Palmer Manufacturing Co. started producing window-mounted evaporative coolers in 1934. "A home without air-condition will be like a home without lights," owner Oscar Palmer told the Republic in 1937. Palmer produced the popular Sno-Breeze Evaporative Cooler.
Improvements came with the arrival in Phoenix of Bill Goettl in 1934 from Ohio, followed by Adam and Gust Goettl. The latter two formed Goettl Brothers Metal Products in 1939, which built and installed evaporative coolers. "Adam and Gust were sheet metal guys we called 'tinners,' who tried to look like Clark Gable with their thin mustaches," John Goettl says.
In 1946, the Goettl brothers launched International Metal Products, which became the world's largest manufacturer of evaporative coolers, producing 100,000 units annually by 1952. "They had the finest machinery on high-speed assembly lines, like in the auto industry," John Goettl says.
Adam Goettl earned the title "The Father of Evaporative Air-Cooling," after filing more than 200 patents. The technology allowed the mass production of houses in the Valley without the need for specialized architectural features to minimize the sun. Phoenix became an air-cooled oasis, attracting people gladly willing to exchange harsh winters for a few sweaty months alleviated by cooler indoor temperatures. Still, the monsoon was unpleasant; intense summer humidity negated the effectiveness of the devices.
Bill Goettl and Cecil Wood purchased an interest in the Goettl Brothers Metal Products in 1946. John Goettl says his uncle got the idea for refrigerated, mechanical air conditioning at a grocery store's freezer section. With help from engineers, he perfected the concept, which cooled and dehumidified the air, and manufactured AC units designed for the Valley's extreme summer temperatures.
Refrigerated window AC units became available in the late 1940s and central air conditioning by the mid-1950s. Sometimes both were needed. "I grew up with Goettl as a patron saint," Phoenix native Steve Weiss says. "When our home's central air conditioning occasionally went out, we had a one-room addition with a wall unit. Inevitably, every summer for a night or two, all five of us slept in that one room."
Still, only a quarter of Phoenix homes had AC by 1960. When a strike halted home construction in 1965, contractors focused on existing homes and many were converted from evaporative to refrigerated cooling.
Air conditioning transformed Phoenix life and fueled the city's growth. Some opined that it even changed Arizona's political landscape. "Historically, the Democrats were the dominant party until the 1950s, about the same time as air conditioning became available in homes and affordable," Marshall Trimble, Arizona's state historian, says. "That caused one old stalwart Democrat to lament, 'We didn't have any damn Republicans until they invented air conditioning.'"
Improvements in air conditioning helped drive Phoenix's population growth.

We've always had a healthy dose of confidence, but heading to an important meeting or a promising first date with healthy, clear skin never fails to give us an extra boost. This facial scrub is tough enough to clear dead skin and impurities, yet still gentle enough to use on sensitive and acne-prone skin. It's designed to penetrate skin to eliminate toxins and speed skin renewal, leaving your face smooth and refreshed.
I am loving this charcoal scrub. I have combination skin that can get very oily in some places and dry in others. Usually any type of face scrub leaves my skin dry right after use, but the combination of the organic oils and charcoal leave my face feeling moisturized and soft all over.
I will definitely be repurchasing!
This is a great scrub! I have oily, acne-prone skin and this scrub has really helped in gently, yet effectively, removing dead skin cells and creating an even tone of my skin. Often times scrubs don't leave my skin feeling smooth and clean, but this Charcoal scrub does the trick!5

Geometric Public Space Sculptures by David Mesguich
Artist David Mesguich (previously) has been creating large geometric sculptures that he installs in locations around Belgium and France, blurring the lines between street art and fine art. The pieces are displayed in public areas and aren't made to be sold but are instead donated to the city. Of his most recent work, PRESSURE 1.0, he remarks: The story of "pressure"—it's the story of people who are on the fence, in between worlds, those who are both on the inside and on the outside. My inspiration came from two sources: a family history that steeped me in a violent, carceral universe during my youth and more than 10 years of trespassing with graffiti. Mesguich has several other pieces you can see on Behance and on his website.

Well it's not the apology in full. And of course it wasn't an apology anyway. I just noticed another thing about Engage's post falsely accusing MPAC of antisemitism and dishonesty. Yes, Engage accusing people of dishonesty!
But MPAC needs to think seriously about antisemitism. Interestingly, in their piece, they have reproduced all the links except for one. The one they don't reproduce is the link to the Anthony Julius piece on the blood libel. This is the one that they ought to read.Now this is sheer dishonesty by Engage. First MPAC ran an article by Desert Peace in which the ghettoisation of the Palestinians and the treatment of children is likened to the Warsaw Ghetto and a forced labour policy, not the killing of millions of Jews; children or adults. Though it should be noted that the ghettoisation was a phase en route to annihilation; something the zionists at Engage choose to ignore. Then Engage falsely accused them of antisemitism for running that post. Then I ran a piece accusing Engage of dishonesty. Then MPAC ran a copy and paste of my post on the whole thing and now Engage, having misrepresented the first piece, are misrepresenting the second piece. They say the only piece that MPAC don't link to is the stupid irrelevant article by Anthony Julius on "blood libel." But the link to that piece is in the article that I linked to when Engage first made their false allegation, that is the article that Engage is complaining about.
It is also noticable that MPAC do not respond to the substance of the charge made against them: that it is antisemitic to compare the murder of millions of Jewish children by Nazis with the current policies of Israel. They run with a whole load of fluff about who is Jewish and who isn't - but they fail to defend themselves against the charge.
And why should MPAC or anyone else run a link to an article on a false charge levelled against Jews in medieval times that is now being used to defend zionists from the truthful charge that the State of Israel mistreats, incarcerates and kills children?
Desert Peace is none too pleased with Engage's dishonest antics either.

Here we have a real piece of cinema history in the form of a hugely important letter from 1924, written by Walt Disney, in which he urges his good friend, the great Ub Iwerks, to up sticks and join him at the recently formed Disney Productions in Hollywood. Luckily for him — and us — Walt's persistence paid off, and soon Iwerks arrived at the studio to work his magic. He went on to create Mickey Mouse, one of the most popular cartoon characters of all time.
This letter sold for a mammoth $247,800.00 (incl. fees etc.) in May of this year.
Transcript follows. Images courtesy of iCollector.
Disney Bros. Studio
Hollywood, Calif.
June 1st 1924
Dear friend Ubbe:
I'll say I was surprised to hear from you and also glad to hear from you. Everything is going fine with us and am glad you have made up your mind to come out.

| Robert --
When we launched OFA, we knew we had our work cut out for us.
We knew that opponents were lined up to try to take us down -- to stop the progress we're fighting for. They probably even thought they would beat us.
What people like you have proven all year long is that, when we each do our part, this grassroots movement can take on anyone.
That's what makes fundraising deadlines so important. They're our chance to go on offense. We're facing a big deadline this Tuesday -- there are just a few days to become a 2013 founding member.
Chip in $5 or more right now, before our critical fundraising deadline on December 31st.
They can try to scare people away from getting health insurance. They can force a government shutdown when they don't get their way trying to derail Obamacare. They can be a roadblock on immigration reform, and fight tooth and nail against marriage equality everywhere they get the chance.
They've done all of that, and more.
But don't let anyone confuse that for actually winning these fights.
Every day, thousands of Americans are signing up to get health coverage, many for the first time ever. The extreme lawmakers who caused the shutdown were shut down this month when they talked about doing it again -- and a long-term budget passed Congress.
It's not a matter of if we'll pass immigration reform -- it's when. And on marriage equality ... eight more states made it the law of the land this year. That's progress that will never be taken away.
That's the power of organizing. Without people like you, progress simply isn't possible.
When 2014 starts in five days, I want to know we'll have the resources we need to keep this change coming.
That depends on what you do today.
Chip in $5 or more right now:
Jon Carson
Executive Director
Organizing for Action
The other side will spend millions to maintain the status quo. We're fighting for change -- chip in $5 or more to support OFA today.

The leader of the California State Senate said Sunday on NBC4 that he's erring on the side of protecting the public during the FBI investigation into California Senator Ron Calderon of Montebello.
Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said that's why he removed Calderon from the state film commission, and asked the Senate Rules Committee to strip Calderon of his committee seats.
"I'll be damned," Steinberg said, "if I'm going to not do everything in my power to make sure that this doesn't taint the incredible work and the achievements that this legislature - the senate, specifically - have accomplished over the past number of years."
You can watch the full interview below:
The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday that the allegations have, if not tainted the Senate Latino Legislative Caucus, at least raised concerns about some of the internal workings of the politically-powerful group.
[T]he details of the most recent leadership fight [within the caucus] caught the attention of FBI agents investigating one caucus member, state Sen. Ron Calderon, for allegedly taking bribes, according to a court-sealed affidavit made public by Al Jazeera America last month.
The affidavit alleges that another caucus member, Sen. Kevin de León, brokered a deal between Calderon and Sen. Ricardo Lara that resulted in Lara retaining the caucus chairmanship and the group paying $25,000 to a nonprofit run by Calderon's brother, former assemblyman Tom Calderon. According to the affidavit, Ron Calderon told an undercover FBI agent that the brothers planned to draw eventually on money held by the nonprofit to make "part of a living."
No charges have been filed against de León or anyone else in the caucus, but the Bee notes that the Calderon case has increased scrutiny of the organization at a time when its membership has grown considerably.
The Rules Committee will consider Steinberg's request on Tuesday.

After a long and successful regular season, the Cavalier swim and dive teams finally prepare for their biggest challenge of the year. From Feb. 13 until Feb. 16, the No. 8 Virginia women's team (6-1, 4-1 ACC) will compete in Atlanta, Ga. for their 10th-straight ACC title.
Last year, the women's team defeated NC State, North Carolina and Louisville behind an extremely strong 1,332.5-point win. The Cavaliers were led by then-senior Courtney Bartholomew and senior Leah Smith. Bartholomew continued her dominance in the backstroke, sweeping all events, while Smith won the 500 and 1,650-yard freestyle events, something she will look to do again this year.
Along with the returning Smith, seniors Kaitlyn Jones and Laura Simon and junior Jennifer Marrkand will look to put points on the board for the Cavaliers.
Despite their period of dominance, the Virginia women's team will certainly face stiff competition this year. Specifically, No. 7 NC State (3-1, 1-1 ACC) will look to break the Cavalier's streak after defeating Virginia two weekends ago.
After the women's competition, the ACC men's championships will take place in Atlanta, Ga. from Feb. 27 until March 2. The No. 12 men's team (5-2, 4-1 ACC) will look to win its first ACC title since 2013.
The women's final ACC meet of the year will begin at 4 p.m. Monday at the Georgia Tech Aquatics Center.

It's always nice to have a ship stopping in San Francisco, usually the only times I can tour a ship without actually taking a cruise. Don't get me wrong though I'd love to be on a cruise, anytime, any place- you just tell me when and where, I'll be there!
Anyway, it was a lovely day to be in San Francisco. The weather was gorgeous and the ship was in the middle of a 7 day cruise with an overnight stop in San Francisco, so these lucky passengers had two days to explore the city- pretty neat stuff!
We had an escorted tour of the ship and were able to see all of he very recent renovations to this Voyager Class ship and she looks stunning! Everything very familiar to other Royal Caribbean ships, which is something that I really appreciate about cruising on the same line and same family of ships! We finished off the tour with a delicious lunch specially prepared for us and it was overall a great day in the city by the Bay!
Here are the many pictures that I took of the ship, we could not tour any cabins though since it was a full sailing of passengers!

Camp Fig Tree
Camp Fig Tree is a luxurious lodge within a 10km2 private concession just outside Addo Elephant Park in South Africa's Eastern Cape. With a spectacular outlook over the densely vegetated Zuurberg mountain ranges, it is well situated for visits to Addo Elephant National Park. Alternatively, there are activities on the private property itself on offer. The atmosphere is very homely and relaxed, with staff who make delightful hosts.
Continue reading our full report on Camp Fig Tree
Our view of Camp Fig Tree
On our most recent visit to Camp Fig Tree in May 2013 we found the lodge very atmospheric, the welcome warm and the views stupendous – it felt like being welcomed into the home of old, colonial friends. Our room was fantastic, and the new ones are even more spectacular. Despite a few hiccups Fig Tree is a place that we loved and would come back to.

Nice digs. I wonder if any of the McMansions that have been so prevalent the last few years will age so well. For Paul from Calgary maybe somewhere south of 17th. Mount Royal perhaps.
Paul – the 'for sale' sign and the agency is in one of the last photos. No idea on the price or value at this point. You could probably get it for $30k USD in cash if you wanted it.
The Book Cadillac is now the Westin, and so far it seems to be doing well. I cant imagine it will be open for long though, simply because I have no idea who would be staying there on a regular basis.
The Book Tower is just plain abandoned now.
Very interesting building. Is the building for rent or for sale? If it's for sale, any idea of what the asking price is? (I'm not interested in buying, just curious). I sure wish we had more buildings like that in my city Calgary.
Also, how is the Book Cadillac doing? I was in Detroit two years ago and they were finally renovating it after long delays.
That place is beautiful. What a bummer to see it like this.

Romeo Is Bleeding is a 1993 film directed by Peter Medak. It was co-produced by Hilary Henkin and Paul Webster with Hilary Henkin writing the screenplay. It stars Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, Annabella Sciorra, Juliette Lewis and Roy Scheider.
The storyline follows Jack Grimaldi who is a womanising, crooked cop on the payroll of the mafia is confronted with the reality of his double life after he is asked to kill a beautiful and ruthless Russian gangster.
Principle photography for Romeo Is Bleeding took place in New York City and its suburbs Coney Island, Bushwick Manhattan and Queens.
Upon its release, Romeo Is Bleeding, received negative reviews from the critics. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said that while Oldman is "unsurpassable in roles of this type", the film is "an exercise in overwrought style and overwritten melodrama, and proof that a great cast cannot save a film from self-destruction". New York Times journalist Janet Maslin praised the work of Gary Oldman and Lena Olin, calling him a "master craftsman", but concluded that "For all its promise, and for all the brittle beauty of Dariusz Wolski's cinematography, Romeo Is Bleeding eventually collapses under the weight of its violent affectations." Bon Jovi had recorded the song Always to feature in the film but having watched a preview screening of the film was not impressed so held the track back.
Produced on an estimated budget of $10m it failed at the cinema and struggled to recoup any of the initial budget. It only made $3.6m in worldwide box office receipts.

Port of Lautoka
Port of Lautoka is Fiji's largest Port for handling bulk cargo, specializing in bulk sugar, molasses, woodchips, petroleum, and gas. Lautoka services the shipping needs of Western Viti Levu and is the base for Fiji's famed Blue Lagoon Cruises and Nai's Cruises.
All general cargo was handled through the Colonial Sugar Refining Co Ltd (CSR) pier where Ports Authority of Fiji took on the Port and undertook major construction in 1959 to the basic main face it is today. Fiji Sugar Corporation was formed and took over the operations of CSR and constructed its own molasses and sugar loading facility, in July 1987, Tropik Wood Industries built their woodchip loader and in late 1988, the Japanese Gogovernment through a government grant built a local fishing Port to cater for the local fishing and domestic seafaring market.
In June 2005, FPCL completed its $21 million Lautoka Wharf Extension giving Lautoka additional berths to its original one berth capacity. Extensive reclamation totaling 28 acres has been completed too providing FPCL with additional land in Lautoka for Port related activity to enhance it Port.
Lautoka, is situated at position 18 degrees -8 South, 178 degrees -26 East and inline with major shipping lanes criss crossing from the US or Asia to Australia and New Zealand, easily making Lautoka an additional Fiji Port, suitable to hub for the South Pacific.
Lautoka is in a pivotal position to cater for Fiji Water's phenomenal growth and poised to become a hive of activity when the additional land is leased out to potential Port industry users to complement Port of Lautoka.

Osteopathic manual practitioners use their palpatory skills to seek out areas of the body that are restricted (not moving normally) or constricted (strangled or squeezed). These areas can be in any of these systems:
Osteopathic manual practitioners seek to identify and then gently ease the restrictions or constrictions so the body can function normally again.
Manual osteopathy is based on 4 basic principles:
|Each structure in the body supports the body's functions. If a structure is damaged, out of place, or otherwise not working properly, the body will not function at its best.
|The natural flow of the body's fluids – lymphatic, vascular, and neurological – must be preserved and maintained.
|The human body is the sum of its parts. Its physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive systems don't work independently -they work in harmony.
|When the body has no restrictions, it has the inherent ability to heal itself.
Osteopathic manual practitioners recognize that a patient is an integrated whole. When all the body's components are in balance, a person is complete and in total health.

My favorite part of being a Search Associate with Spelman Johnson is definitely the cascade of colorful characters and amazing professionals that I meet every day along the way. While I am surrounded by a most incredible group of people within our firm, each position search also brings another batch of new friends, confidants, and colleagues into my world. I have to be honest: I cherish every single one of you, whether I only speak to you via email or whether we walk hand-in-hand through the process to a successful hire. Spelman Johnson's primary goal is to match the right person with the right job at the right institution, but the greatest by-product of the search process is the network that it creates for each one of us. Not only are there highly qualified individuals whom I can circle back to for future job opportunities, but also campus contacts across the country with whom I can interact, get advice, and drop in for a visit when I am passing that way.
Do you ever stop and take time to consider the value and impact of a professional network? Let's ponder the following:
- Have you ever been referred to a job by a professional colleague?
- Better yet, have you ever had a professional colleague give a reference for you without your even knowing it until after you are hired?
- Have you ever been stuck somewhere, say, due to a flight cancellation, and realized you knew someone in that very city whom you could call and ask for help?
- Have you ever been faced with a tough situation at work, and reached out to a colleague for sound advice?
- Have you ever conducted research on a project by calling or emailing your professional network for input?
- Have you ever been on a vacation trip and realized your friend from graduate school works in that city, so you pop in for a visit?
I daresay we have all encountered one or more of these situations, and the only way we find solace in or solutions to them is through our own network that we develop over time. It may seem like an extremely basic concept, as, after all, we work in student affairs, where relationships are at the core of what we do, but the bottom line is that there is great power in developing, nurturing, emphasizing, and celebrating the interpersonal connections we make along our career journey. That chance contact you make early in your career can quite literally have a major impact in job searches or other professional advancement later in your career.
You may only personally see people in your network infrequently, but that does not dilute the fact that you are connected forever in some way to them. As an example, I may only see some close friends once a year at a professional conference, but we pick up immediately where we left off the last time, and I know I can always count on these people when I need them (and they on me, as well!). One great advantage that social media has brought to the table is an ability to stay connected electronically between these personal contacts; while I believe face-to-face interaction is an absolute networking necessity and cannot be completely supplanted by social media, there is great immediate connectivity to be gained through Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other platforms when you are unable to come together in person.
One final note of advice: never burn a bridge. Our field is too small to run awry of someone that might one day have some kind of influence on your career. The "six degrees of separation" is much narrower in student affairs than in many other walks of life, and the person whom you anger today could easily be the chair of a search committee or even your supervisor in the future, so patience, civility, and kindness should always trump anger, resentment, and outward hostility in every instance. As my grandfather used to say, a burned bridge will generally dump you in the river, and my advice to you is to stay clear of the proverbial river!

Tacked on the bulletin board above my daughter's computer desk is this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do one thing every day that scares you."
The idea being that the more often we get out of our comfort zones, the more we will experience growth in our family life, our school or professional world and our community.
I certainly fulfilled my quota of doing something scary every day on our most recent trip to the west coast to visit our kids.
When we visited our son in Moab, Utah, we went mountain biking on some pretty rough terrain (I'm happy to report that I only fell once). The next day we went sheer rock climbing, with our son belaying us. That was both exhilarating and terrifying, but the sense of accomplishment was worth it.
Later that week, in San Francisco, we had to negotiate public transportation in a bustling, confusing city. Maybe the scariest thing we did was go to our grandson's kindergarten class, where we were persuaded to participate in a relay race with 18 giggling little kids during physical education. I was scared of tripping and falling and embarrassing myself and our grandson, but I didn't.
Looking back, each one of these activities forced us out of our comfort zone. All of us can slip into complacency and routine. It's hard to face our fears. We all need to reach out, heed Roosevelt's advice, and do something scary every day. It can be as simple as signing up to learn a new hobby, trying a new sport, volunteering for a cause you feel passionate about or doing some activity in a new and different way.
Let's take the challenge, face our fears and teach ourselves we can handle whatever life throws at us.

After giving up 456 passing yards and two long touchdowns in a 40-9 loss at Miami, USF is looking for new answers in its secondary, with redshirt freshman cornerback Kenneth Durden getting work Tuesday with the first-string defense.
Durden, who has five tackles in limited action this season, is challenging senior George Baker (42 tackles), one of only two Bulls seniors to start all 10 games this season.
"Just as we did the quarterbacks a week ago, when we've got a couple of people competing for a position, we roll them out there and let them compete every day," coach Skip Holtz said. "It's not fair to have one go all the time with the 1s and the other with the 2s, so we mix it up. This is an evolving process, especially with some of the young guys right now. As a football team, we're trying to continue to get better."
Baker and USF's other starting corner, Kayvon Webster, are both seniors, and with freshman Chris Bivins undergoing surgery for a second torn ACL, the Bulls have few returning cornerbacks for 2013. Durden and Josh Brown would likely enter spring drills as projected starters, though USF will sign a few junior college corners to join the program in January and compete for starting jobs.
"I'm just trying to prepare for the future, trying to get ready for next year," Durden said. "I'm excited and ready to do what I've got to do."
Holtz said he's also giving sophomore walk-on Tre Griffin a look at safety, challenging starters Mark Joyce and JaQuez Jenkins, and he wants more competition after seeing uncontested deep passes during Saturday's loss.
Durden is also an option on punt returns, where Terrence Mitchell has fumbled or muffed four returns, losing three of those fumbles. Since a promising 69 yards on punt returns in the opener against I-AA Chattanooga, Mitchell has totaled 11 yards on four returns; receiver Andre Davis took over the return duties for four games but stopped after suffering an ankle injury against Connecticut. Davis totaled 35 yards on his nine returns.
"I've been returning punts (in practice) for a while. I've been trying to get back there, but they won't put me back there," Durden said.

Just because you're without a job or pinching pennies doesn't mean you have to make like a Cratchit for the holidays!
I realize I am late to the party, but I also know lots of people have holiday events this weekend and next–including MPS. I still don't know what (to quote my mother), "I'm gonna put on this body", but it's got to be something cheap or something I already have in my closet. So after thumbing through my wares, I've come up with five easy (read: not groundbreaking) style ideas that are sure to erase the bah-humbugs and have you eager to make out under the mistletoe and go buck-wild at your office holiday party!
- Glam up a simple outfit with a silver or gold skinny belt. J.Crew has some sassy metallics for little $$$.
- Buy some inexpensive costume jewelry to bring back to life that little black dress or silky top you've been wearing to death. Was floored by the fun selection I saw the other day at Old Navy. Granted, these baubles may not last forever, but at least they'll add a lil' bling for the night.
- Don't forget that jeans are okay. Last year, I wore dark jeans with a cropped green velvet Mandarin collar jacket bought years ago at Loehmann's. I added some cute earrings, black heels, and it looked adorable. http://youlookfab.com/2008/12/04/casual-holiday-parties-on-a-budget-glam-up-your-jeans/
- Target. Target. Target. Their Limited Edition line is bursting at the seams with cuteness.
- Borrow from a friend. Act like you're living back in the dorm or the sorority house. There's nowhere better to shop than your BFF's closet. Just be kind and dry clean before returning.
Happy holidays!

Everyone loves Porsche cars, because they are small yet strong, because they are elegant yet masculine, and because they are a great example of what the automotive industry can achieve. This year, the German brand launches a new line of Porsches which will surely impress car aficionados. Today we are going to present just one of them, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, a road jewelry that will be the envy of many and the property of just few. We say this because this new car comes with a new and improved price as well, so when it hits the market in December, it will probably be sold at something like £126,766.Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet picture
Nevertheless, before we judge it for its steep price, let's see whether it isn't justified as well. To begin with, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is based on the previous coupe version, which means it is endowed with the same 3.8 liter engine that has an output of 514 bhp. However, its sister, the Turbo S, will have a bit more power at 552 bhp; this allows the Turbo to reach 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds, whereas our Turbo Cabriolet can only reach that in 3.5 seconds. For car lovers, the 0.3 seconds difference can mean the whole world, but from an objective perspective, both cars are great and will probably perform as such.
As for more technical specifications, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is also fitted with a standard dual-clutch PDK transmission, and a more special rear-axle steering. This system allows for a much better controlled steering, easier parking and maneuvers. For example, at over 31 mph, the rear wheels are automatically steered in the opposite direction as the front wheels, so it becomes easier to park.Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet picture
The design has also been improved on the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, and some additional options have been included. The rear wings and bumpers are 28 mm wider than on previous models, and the control panel features an LCD screen with GPS included, as well as many other options that make your driving experience easier and more pleasant. Although a cabriolet, the Porsche 911 Turbo is quite spacious for the driver, and all the controls are easy to access. The outer design of the car is, as expected, quite spectacular, and the Porsche identity is maintained in its entirety.
If you love Porsche cars in general, there is nothing stopping you from being impressed with this new one as well, or with the other Cabriolets as well. The price is steep, but it is well motivated.

Wrapping with Xpel Stealth
Wrapping with Xpel Stealth
Wehave SunTek Ultra on all our cars. Great stuff.
'17 S75 & X75D: (Uncorked [E]AP FSD AP2.5 Bio 16.1)*2. Grin on!
Installer experience is everything. Sticker City is awesome and never has issues like that.
Would be nice to have those with good experiences start a thread with business name and location. I've been looking at Xpel Stealth for a few years now for my aging black S.
OP, what did this cost you? Thanks in advance.
I have Xpel Stealth on my Model S (blue) and coated it with OptiCoat Pro on top. I had mine done by Accutint in Bellevue, WA. They do a ton of Teslas and their work is exceptional. It's all about the right installer.
Capitol Shine from DC metro area wrapped my S100D with Xpel stealth wrap and applied CP coating for my 21 in sonic carbon wheels and the body. According to him since the wrap was thicker I didn't need CP coating 2x for body. Got numerous compliments. When the mirrors showed little imperfection few months later he fixed it and fixed in few other places too that did not cure perfectly. He was very careful and patient when removing the badge and putting them back on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is accreditation?
Accreditation is a voluntary dual-purpose process that schools (1) must be worthy of the trust placed in them to provide high-quality learning and (2) clearly demonstrate continual self-improvement.
An accredited school is focused on a mission and goals for students; it is student-oriented and examines its students' performance continuously; it accepts objective evaluation from a team of outside peer professionals trained by ACS WASC; it maintains a qualified faculty within an effectively organized school; it collaboratively assesses the quality of its educational programs on a regular basis; and it plans for the future.
Who benefits from accreditation?
ACS WASC accreditation is a school improvement process and therefore is a process that serves as the foundation for quality education. An accredited school is a statement to the broader community and the stakeholders that it is trustworthy institution for student learning and committed to ongoing improvement.
- The public is assured that accredited institutions are evaluated extensively and conform to expectations of performance and quality. Because accreditation requires continual self-evaluation and monitoring of its programs and operations in relation to the impact on student learning and periodic external review, the public can be assured that the educational quality of programs and services offered by the institution are current, reflect high standards of quality, and are offered with integrity.
- Students can be assured that the institutions in which they seek to enroll have been reviewed and the educational programs that are offered have been evaluated for quality.
- Educational institutions benefit from the stimulus for self-study and self-improvement provided by the accreditation process.

What is ACS WASC?
The Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC), a world-renowned accrediting association, a regional accrediting association in the United States, works closely with the Office of Overseas Schools under the Department of State. ACS WASC provides assistance to schools located in California, Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Fiji, Asia, and other parts of the world. ACS WASC extends its services to approximately 5,000 public, independent, church-related, charter, online, supplementary education programs/centers, and proprietary pre-K-12 and adult schools; and works with 18 associations in joint accreditation processes, and collaborates with other organizations such as the California Department of Education, the Hawaii Department of Education, the Association of Christian Schools International, the Council of International Schools, and the International Baccalaureate.

What if I have a question about a college or university?
Please contact the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities directly. They can be found on the web at www.wascsenior.org and reached by telephone at 510 748-9001.
What if I have a question about a community or junior college?
Please contact the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges directly. They can be found on the web at www.accjc.org and reached by telephone at 415 506-0234.
Does ACS WASC accredit preschools?
Currently preschools are only accredited when they are part of a multiple grades school. Please contact the ACS WASC office for more details.
Does ACS WASC accredit home schools?
ACS WASC allows for the accreditation of independent study programs and/or homeschool programs that meet the following ACS WASC requirements:
- Continuation schools, alternative schools, and independent study schools that are connected to public school districts, including those that offer a home-study program, are eligible for accreditation provided the program has been included in the school's self-study evaluation within the ACS WASC accreditation process. The school must provide oversight of curriculum and delivery of instruction by a credentialed teacher who is qualified for the high school subject matter covered. For K-8 courses/curriculum and delivery of instruction the school must provide oversight by a credentialed multi-subject teacher. Grades, transcripts and analysis of assessment results must be provided by a credentialed teacher and not the parent.
- Private schools offering independent study as their primary instructional delivery system are eligible for accreditation if they meet all ACS WASC private school criteria and meet the local, state, or national requirements for schools. The school must provide oversight of curriculum and delivery of instruction by a qualified teacher for K-8 students. For high school courses the school must provide oversight by a qualified teacher with either a bachelor's or master's degree according to subject matter. Grades, transcripts, and analysis of assessment results must be provided by teachers and not the parent.
- Charter schools that offer independent study as their primary instructional delivery system are eligible for accreditation if they meet all ACS WASC criteria and meet the local state or national requirements for schools. The school must provide oversight of curriculum and delivery of instruction by a teacher who is credentialed and qualified for the high school subject matter covered. For K-8 courses/curriculum and delivery of instruction the school must provide oversight by a credentialed multi-subject teacher. Grades, transcripts, and analysis of assessment results must be provided by a credentialed teacher and not the parent.
- Private School Satellite programs (PSPs) that are directly connected to an ACS WASC-accredited school are eligible for accreditation, provided that the program has been included in the school's self-study evaluation within the ACS WASC accreditation process. The school must provide oversight of curriculum and delivery of instruction by a qualified teacher for K-8 students and for high school courses the school must provide oversight by a qualified teacher with either a Bachelor's or Master's degree according to subject matter. Grades, transcripts, and analysis of assessment results must be provided by teachers and not the parent.
- Individual homeschools where students are taught by parents at home are not eligible for ACS WASC accreditation.
Does ACS WASC accredit online schools?
ACS WASC accredits online schools and programs. ACS WASC has aligned with the iNACOL Standards that are also used by the University of California in the evaluation of online a-g courses. UC requires all online courses to be assessed against the iNACOL Standards for Quality Online Courses before the courses are submitted to UC for "a-g" review. ACS WASC is in the process of integrating the iNACOL standards with the ACS WASC criteria and indicators in all aspects of the accreditation process.
Does ACS WASC accredit for-profit schools?
ACS WASC accredits for-profit pre-K-12 schools. However, ACS WASC does not accredit for-profit postsecondary non-degree granting institutions.
Does ACS WASC accredit small schools? How can small schools maximize their resources in order to conduct the ACS WASC self-study visit and the ongoing improvement process?
In order to be eligible for ACS WASC affiliation, student enrollment must reach and maintain a minimum of 6 full-time students.
ACS WASC encourages schools to modify the suggested model self-study process as long as the school adheres to the outcomes or parameters of a quality self-study. These are listed below:
Many small schools conduct the self-study process and ongoing analysis of action plan progress as a committee of the whole. During the self-study process schools concentrate on one criteria category for a determined time period and then move to the other criteria. Usually, schools work with curriculum, instruction, and assessment initially as much information is gleaned that can be used in examination of the other programmatic areas.
- The involvement and collaboration of all staff and other shareholders to support student achievement
- The clarification and measurement of what all students should know, understand, and be able to do through schoolwide student goals (schoolwide learning outcomes)
- The gathering and analyzing of data about students and student achievement
- The assessment of the entire school program and its impact on student learning in relation to expected schoolwide learning results, academic standards, and the ACS WASC criteria
- The alignment of a long-range action plan to the school's areas of need; the development and implementation of an accountability system for monitoring the accomplishment of the plan.
This is important to note because in November 2002 the University of California passed a policy that requires all schools that want UC approval of courses to meet the a-g requirements to be accredited by ACS WASC or at least be an initial ACS WASC candidate.
See also ACS WASC Overview.
What are the criteria used to evaluate all schools?
ACS WASC criteria are research-based guidelines of systemic school improvement that focus on student achievement of the schoolwide learner outcomes aligned with the academic standards. The criteria guide a school in evaluation of its organization and program, e.g., leadership empowerment, continual professional learning by staff.
What is LCFF and LCAP?
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is legislation that fundamentally changed how all local educational agencies (LEAs) in California are funded, how they are measured for results, and the services and supports they receive to allow all students to succeed to their greatest potential.
Frequently Asked Questions Related to Changes in State Educational Policy
What is an accreditation status?
The Commission shall grant a status of accreditation that shows a strong correlation to existing student achievement results and current programmatic and operational actions based on the ACS WASC criteria and accreditation status factors noted in the visiting committee report and the visiting committee recommendation. The visiting committee will base its status recommendation on evidence contained in the self-study and encountered during the school visit that indicates:
- The degree to which high achievement by all students is occurring
- The capacity of the school to implement, monitor, and accomplish the action plan aligned to the areas of greatest need impacting student achievement
- The school's status with respect to institutional and/or governing authority expectations.
What is the accreditation status time frame?
Accreditation status, granted by action of the Commission, starts on July 1 and expire on June 30.
What are the steps necessary to become accredited?
After reviewing the ACS WASC Conditions of Eligibility, interested schools and supplementary education centers/programs should complete the ACS WASC Affiliation Application Request and return the completed form to the ACS WASC office. Both of these documents as well as additional information can be found on the Beginning the Accreditation Process page of our website.
If it is determined that the school may be eligible for affiliation with ACS WASC, an Initial Visit Application will be sent to the school for completion and submission to the ACS WASC office. On receipt of the forms and approval to proceed, a two-member, one- or two-day visit to the school will be scheduled. Initial visits to newly established schools will not occur prior to the second semester of operation, i.e., a spring visit if a school opens in the fall. Following the visit, the committee will prepare a report to present to the Commission for action. This will include recommendations regarding the school's ongoing improvement. The school will be notified by the executive director of the Commission's action. If the Commission's action is favorable, the school will be granted either candidacy or initial accreditation for a term not to exceed three years.
What are the fees associated with ACS WASC accreditation?
ACS WASC charges annual membership fees. Schools seeking initial affiliation with ACS WASC leading to full accreditation shall pay a nonrefundable application fee plus an initial visit fee (see the Beginning the Accreditation Process page for further initial visit information). Visiting Committee fees are also charged when an accreditation visit is scheduled to take place. Please refer to the appropriate schedule for additional fee information.
See also ACS WASC Fees.
What information can ACS WASC provide about the schools that are accredited?
The only information released to the public about schools is found in the ACS WASC directory. Because ACS WASC is not a governmental agency, it is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
How can I find out the ACS WASC accreditation code for a Cal Grant application?
ACS WASC accreditation codes are available in the Directory of Schools on the ACS WASC website. Search for the school, then double click on the school's name. The ACS WASC code will be listed immediately below the school's grade span.
Does ACS WASC require that teachers and administrators in public and private schools be fully credentialed by a governmental agency in order for the school to qualify for accreditation?
ACS WASC requires that personnel be qualified for the position they hold and meet any requirements of governmental or private associations. Public school teachers are expected to be fully credentialed per state mandates. Private school teachers are encouraged to be highly qualified and have expertise in the grade level and/or discipline being taught.
What happens if a student attends a non-accredited school and transfers to an accredited school within or outside of the ACS WASC region?
At the elementary and middle school levels, the transfer of records and credits from a non-accredited school to an accredited school is usually not a problem; most accredited schools at the secondary level have policies related to what credits will be accepted. In addition, schools may want to review curricular standards and courses before accepting the credits.
ACS WASC also recognizes some of the other national and international accrediting associations. Please contact the ACS WASC office for further details.
What happens to student records (transcripts) if a school closes?
Public school records would be transferred to the district or county office of education if a school closes. In case of a consolidation of public schools, the records may be housed at the remaining school. In the case of certain religious schools that are part of a system (such as Catholic or Seventh-day Adventist schools) the records would be sent to the church headquarters.
Parents and students who have a concern about this issue should ask their school to supply them with information stating what plan they have for storing records in case the school should close. While the matter of retaining student records at the elementary and junior high school level is important, it is crucial at the high school level to know where school records (especially transcripts) will be housed for many years in the future.
How are individuals selected to participate in accreditation visits?
ACS WASC maintains an extensive database of experienced professional educators from which to select accreditation team members. These individuals come from a variety of backgrounds — public and private education at all levels — including classroom teachers, administrators, college professors, school board members, and others who have an intimate knowledge of educational trends and issues.
One of the requirements for ACS WASC accreditation is that schools and districts annually contribute members to participate on visiting committees.
Team members are selected on the basis of their expertise and the type of school being evaluated. If a school is being jointly accredited with an agency such as the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) or with a religious organization, the team members are selected collaboratively with the other agency. Team members are required to participate in ACS WASC-conducted training so they will be thoroughly familiar with the ACS WASC evaluation process, and have an understanding of what is expected of them as a visiting team member.
Are retired educators eligible to serve on accreditation visits?
Retired educators are eligible to serve on accreditation visits. Their expertise has been a valuable asset to accreditation as well as coaching others new to the accreditation process.
Is there a process for complaints?
ACS WASC does not consider allegations concerning the personal lives of individuals connected with its affiliated institutions. It assumes no responsibility for adjudicating isolated individual grievances between students, faculty, or members of the public and individual institutions. The Commission will not act as a court of appeal in matters of admission, granting or transfer of academic credit, grades, fees, student financial aid, student discipline, collective bargaining, faculty appointments, promotion, tenure, and dismissals or similar matters.
With regard to an affiliated institution operated or governed by a religious organization, the Commission will not respond to any complaint regarding the religious nature or programs of the school (e.g., a complaint about the orthodoxy of a religious service, textbook, or class will not be adjudicated by the Commission). If the complainant has instituted or has threatened to institute litigation against the institution, no action under this procedure will be taken by the Commission while the matter is under judicial consideration
See also the ACS WASC Complaint Process.
Can a school appeal its accreditation?
A school may only appeal the decision of the Commission to grant:
- Probationary Accreditation Status
- Accreditation Status Withheld.
A six-year status with a review may not be appealed. In addition, initial visit decisions on candidacy and/or initial accreditation cannot be appealed. The action of the Accrediting Commission on an appeal shall be final.
The appeal must be based on one or more of the following grounds:
- There were errors or omissions in carrying out prescribed procedures on the part of the evaluation team and/or the Commission;
- There was demonstrable bias or prejudice on the part of one or more members of the evaluation team or Commission which materially affected the Commission's decision;
- The evidence before the Commission prior to and on the date when it made the decision which is being appealed was materially in error; or
- The decision of the Commission was not supported by substantial evidence.
A letter is to be directed to the Commission by the chief administrator(s) of the district and school within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the letter of notification of the action by the Commission, stating the basis for the appeal. A check in the amount of the appeal fee shall accompany the letter of appeal.
See also the ACS WASC Bylaws and Policy Manual.
What is the reinstatement process?
Schools that have had their accreditation status withheld (which has become final on appeal or where the school chooses not to appeal) have the option to seek reinstatement and request a Reinstatement Visit. In order to be reinstated, the school must submit a reinstatement report that addresses the identified critical areas for follow-up and provide sufficient evidence of the progress made. ACS WASC will then decide upon an appropriate time for a two-day Reinstatement Visit. The visit must occur within 18 months from the date of the Commission's decision to withhold accreditation or the school will need to reapply for accreditation through the Initial Visit process.

Lots of driving today. Went up to visit the History of Advertising Trust near Norwich. One of those flat, grey East Anglian days, good for driving. HAT is a marvelous institution, a bunch of people beavering away preserving all this ephemera. Long shelves with thousands of huge, black guard books from places like O&M and JWT and dozens of defunct agenices you've never heard of. Well worth a visit if you're ever in the middle of East Anglia.
Then, since it was on the way back, I called in to Cambridge, to 'visit some of my old haunts'. But I immediately remembered why I hated the place so much. Especially this dump. One of the richest educational establishments in the world and they spend their whole time sending me DM asking for more money. The worst three years of my life. An awful institution in an awful place moulding the rich and the posh into a ruling elite. Bought a sandwich and got the hell out.
But then, hurrah, went to the Imperial War museum at Duxford. Where the grey, fenny weather made perfect sense. Perfect light for wallowing in fake nostalgia for The Battle Of Britain. Most of the movie was filmed at Duxford so it always seems slightly familiar. Apparently they blew up half a hanger for the film - doing more damage than the Luftwaffe ever did. But it was the movie that rekindled public interest in The Battle Of Britain and got the rest of the hangers listed. I'm barely old enough to remember the film coming out, and my dad barely remembers WWII; yet it can sometimes seem really 'present'. Especially at places like Duxford.
Interesting how it gets people so involved. I was watching a Time Team - D-Day thing yesterday and Tony Robinson kept referring to 'our boys', which I'm sure he doesn't do about the British troops in Iraq. Hmm.
The American bit of the museum is a brilliant building.
Home in time to watch England play slightly rubbishly against the Japanese; who were splendid.

We (me and my wife) decided to have some refreshing together to Amplaz to buy some items for daily needs. While in there, we looked at the theather and we saw the queue was so long, so we didn't have a thought of going to watch a movie. After finishing our shopping, we were going to have lunch there, but then we saw the queue line has dropped compared with in the morning, so i took a chance to see whether i could get tickets to Skyfall.
Lucky me, there were still some tickets left for 3 PM show, so i puchased it with my credit card because we could have 50% discount. So finally we did watch Skyfall even though it was unplanned at the beginning.
I don't want to give spoilers, since the movie is quite new, so i'll just stop here :)

I work right by a kids pottery store and for the past they've begun until Christmas. Every morning I walk by and am shocked at how soon the holidays are approaching. Thanksgiving is this week, and Christmas next month. It's an exciting time of the year, but also stressful. One of my favorite parts of this giving season is taking in all of the beautiful holiday decorations. They automatically put on a smile on my face!
That's why I'm super excited to check out the New Hampshire Gift of Lights Holiday attraction! With so many lights and so little time! Gift of Lights is guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit. Pile the entire family in the car and prepare to be amazed. Think light tunnels, giant candy canes and Santa up close and personal. What a great way to get in the holiday spirit!
With so much to plan for in the coming months, I'm really looking forward to taking a breather and heading up to NH with my munchkin and basking in the light and joy of the beauty of this magical time of year.
A gift for my local folks who are interested in attending the Gift of Lights – save $2 on the drive through show, so be sure to get your tickets today!!
What local activities are you planning on going to this year with your family?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
A Student of the Qur'an
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ 1
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ 2
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ 3
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ 4
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ 5
إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ 6
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ 7
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ 8
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ 9
أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ 10
الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ 11
"Certainly will the believers have succeeded: 1
They who are during their prayer humbly submissive 2
And they who turn away from ill speech 3
And they who are observant of zakah 4
And they who guard their private parts 5
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed – 6
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -7
And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive 8
And they who carefully maintain their prayers –9
Those are the inheritors 10
Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally 11."
[Al-Quran-Surah Al-Mu'minun:1-11]
Not enough I'd say. Coming to the Qur'an class and listening and being with people who are listening and want to do amal makes me a better person those three days and even the fourth. But consistency is a must. I wouldn't say that I'm humbly submissive with all my prayers, some yes, but not all and not even everyday. Something is always going on in my head. Do I turn away from ill speech? Then again not all the time. My prime causes when not turning away is when a part of me is agreeing with what the other is saying and when I'm scared of the others reaction. These are mostly the reasons.
Then there are times when I'm angry and say something out of anger, something critical. I'm being stricter with myself though. Alhamdullilah, I am observant of my Zakat (giving alms), but purification of negative thoughts is something I have to work on extensively. Alhamdullilah I have started wearing the Islamic Hijab(outer covering). Surah Al-Mu'minun was defnitely an eye-opener to the importance of trusts and promises.While mailing I just remebered that one of our trusts that Maryam Baji had highlighted was that if we didnot come to class due to certain circumstances we should always notify. I didn't do that today although I meant to. I apologize and remind myself that I was saying that I was very good with trusts and promises but I did violate a trust therefore I must be heedful at all times and pray to Allah ( سبحانه وتعالى ) that I shouldn't violate a trust even if its unknowingly done. Most of the time I am careful about maintaining my prayers but Fajr is very hard for me.

It was another COLD Colorado morning on Monday so I decided to make pancakes for breakfast. Well, at least for my son and I seeing how my husband usually wakes up a good hour or two after us and doesn't eat until at least 11 am and when he does, it is Raisin bran and some sugary cereal mixed together.
That is besides the point.
We made Cinnamon Bun Pancakes from Howdoesshe.com. The recipe is here.
We did not make our own syrup as they did. None the less it was a delicious and filling breakfast that gave me the energy to do a good cleaning in the house. Well mostly, I ended up rounding up the following to take to goodwill:
141 CDs
50+ books
6 Pillows
1 Queen size comforter
2 Office supplies/crafting items
1 ceramic statue my mom gave me YEARS ago that has never been out. Sorry mom!
1 Orange cardboard/metal box from Ikea.
I tweeked my back carrying up all the books and CDs. Those were heavy. Bless my 4 year old for wanting to help. I made him hold the door.
Anyways – it is always nice to cook with my son. He loves it!
Gathered all the dry ingredients
Gathered all the wet ingredients.
Put all together in a bowl to be mixed.
Let the little guy mix. He loves it and complains it is too LOUD! (We stayed in pj's all day!!!!!)
Yes, I need a griddle! We chose to use the pumpkin cookie cutter at first, which in the end was quickly swaped for a Star.
Trick is not to over fill otherwise it spills over and loses some shape.
Much easier and appealing to eat!
Success! Two eaten, well 1.75 eaten. That is a good morning!
Definitely check out the recipe. They are delicious pancakes!

The Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning-infused honeymoon period officially ended with a thud on Saturday night, when defensive end Elvis Dumervil was arrested and accused of aggravated assault with a firearm in Miami Beach, Fla.
It's a serious situation for Dumervil, who could face up to five years in prison if charged and convicted. For the Broncos, there has to be concern what this means for a defense that relies heavily on the charge Dumervil brings from the edge.
Lombardi: Take five
With training camps right around the corner, Michael Lombardi provides five subplots that have piqued his interest. More ...
Remember, Denver is already without longtime starting linebacker D.J. Williams, who has been suspended six games for a "non-human specimen" in a drug test.
Dumervil's agent, Marty Magid, told NFL.com and NFL Network on Sunday that charges haven't been filed and he didn't expect them to be once the investigation is complete.
Of course, avoiding prosecution doesn't automatically clear Dumervil of trouble with the NFL. The league can still suspend players under its far-reaching personal-conduct policy. (Ben Roethlisberger's four-game ban in 2010 serving as the most obvious example here.)
Past behavior is taken into account in these situations. In 2010, Dumervil was charged with assault and disturbing the peace following an altercation with a parking-lot attendant at Invesco Field. The charges eventually were dismissed.
It's still too early to see how Dumervil's latest brush with the law shakes out, but the Broncos are undoubtedly holding their breath.

This column was written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/2016-the-year-of-russias-triumph/
Just like European maps place Europe in the center of the planet, so do most western commentators look at the past year from a US/Europe-centered perspective. Which is fair enough. Furthermore, the AngloZionist Empire has just suffered two major disasters, the Brexit and the election of Trump, so there is truly much interesting to focus on. Still, what I want to do today is to look at the year which is ending from a Russian perspective. The following were the major challenges Russia faced in 2016:

Tom Heaton could be in action tonight as England face Australia at Sunderland's Stadium of Light (7.45pm kick-off).
Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson has already confirmed that Fraser Forster will start in goal against the Socceroos in a game that is likely to see experimentation ahead of the final friendly with Portugal at Wembley Stadium.
Tonight marks the 7th meeting with Australia and the first since a 3-1 defeat in 2003 at Upton Park, when Francis Jeffers was on the scoresheet.
Elsewhere, Stephen Ward is in the Republic of Ireland squad to face the Netherlands this evening at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin (7.45pm kick-off).
Martin O'Neill has healthy competition but his 35-man party will be cut to 23 after their final warm-up match against Belarus on Tuesday night.
Clarets defender Daniel Lafferty could also feature as Northern Ireland face Belarus in their last home friendly before heading to France.
Michael O'Neill will announce his 23-man squad on Saturday, meaning the Windsor Park clash presents one final opportunity to stake a claim for the finals.
