Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Notes for Session 1, Part A
Note 2
The goal of this session, as well as many that follow, is to immerse ourselves in mathematics that illustrates two components of algebraic thinking: mathematical thinking tools (problem solving, representation, and reasoning skills) and algebraic ideas (functions, patterns, variables, generalized arithmetic, and symbolic manipulation).
Groups: Discuss how these two components relate to the current debate in mathematics reform. Then, divide into small groups to answer Problems A1 and A2. When finished, everyone should share their answers with the whole group.
At this point, the idea of what algebraic thinking is may not be clear. The purpose here is not to construct a precise definition, but to consider initial ideas without judgment as a way of beginning a longer conversation. In fact, in Session 9 we will consider the same questions again, in order to evaluate whether our conception of algebraic thinking has broadened and strengthened.

Comments On Apr 02, 2014:I had problems with the stock IMS gas cap loosing the vent hose because the nipple had no barb to keep the hose on. I bought this cap and have yet to loose another vent hose. It's a bit heavy and not that cheap for what it is, but it works and looks great.

Comments On Oct 14, 2013:Okay so lets see to start off it went on hard but i found out later that was ,because it was cutting into the plastic threads. About one mile down the trail the little breathing tube fell off. so i went back home and found the seal didnt keep the gas in well. So to sum it up I wouldnt recommend this gas cap. id recommend a plastic cap easier to put on, and fits the threading much better

Comments On Jun 21, 2013:Great gas cap. Not expensive, looks waay better than the standard plastic IMS gas cap without a bling factor, and feels more substantial.

Comments On Jun 05, 2013:I bought this to replace the stock cap on my IMS desert tank after the vent hose nipple broke off. With the aluminum cap, I don't have to worry about it breaking. The shorter vent hose is also much more convenient when fueling. The anodized aluminum also looks nice.

Campbell >Food & Dining > Taco Bravo
1950 S Bascom Ave, Campbell, CA | Directions 9500837.288084 -121.931592
Daily, 9am - 10pm
Campbell's Late Night Secret – After five beers and five shots, Taco Bravo is the final destination in Campbell before calling it a night. Taco Bravo attracts the oddest crowd but develops the best of stories to tell. When the bars close, all the drunks wander here for a late night meal.
The food is good when sober but its the best meal ever when you're intoxicated. The staff is a diverse yet the most unusual bunch of colorful characters that will not be seen at any other eatery. For first timers, the "Super Nacho" is the most recommended meal.
If you don't have an interesting Taco Bravo story than you did not have a proper experience. Its better to go with friends and 5 beers than alone and sober.
Tacos made by Meth heads instad of Mexicans – Taco Bravo is just as shitty as it looks. I've driven by 100 times on basom, but never stopped. Today I went, only because taco bell was closed. It was so horrible! The servers were offering alcohol to their friends, everyone was strung out. I wish I could have had taco bell!! Now I'm stuck with a burrito made by the nastiest hills have eyes type looking ppl i've ever seen
not gonna win any zagat awards, but good food priced low. i suggest the soft tacos with as much heat as you can stand
if you dont like it dont come bak – I just want to thank all the supporters and say screw you to all the haters. We are tired of all you ungrateful people talking garbage and being rude when we bend over backwards and give it to you faster than anyone else. What you guys dont realize is the more garbage you talk the less food you get and the more lettuce you get. Try being nicer and more respectful next time and you will get alot better food next time. We wont take your garbage we will talk garbage back. BOLDLY. We give everyone a chance to be cool but it's when you act stupid and ignorant is when our attitude changes and you don't get nothing from us. (RESPECT) Give some get some. Give none get none!!!!!! GET IT
Great if your drunk, mediocre at best if you're not! – For under 4 bucks I bought what everyone there was having, the SUPER BURRITO, it's about 3lbs, HUGE! If you have a hole in your stomach and you like Taco Bell and Weinschnizzel (which is right next door), this is the place for you; however, with all the tasty burritos around town, don't go out of your way to get one unless someone else drives you there, because your wasted and can't see straight. This place is far from authentic; your only choice of meat is ground beef, and then refried beans and tons of cheddar go on everything. Why anyone makes this a destination is beyond me.
Taco Smell should be ashamed – The regular tacos are larger than Taco Bell's super taco and half the price. All of the food has always been fresh. Flavors and quality are better than the typical taco stand. The prices have risen very little in 20 years- taco 1981-$.89, 2007- $1.09. All the food is a bargain. You can ask for any item any way you like- and they make it. Whats not to like?
Not fit for human consumption. If you're REALLY drunk and you have no other options, it might not hurt you. But its not recommended for people with taste buds. Highly Recommended for dogs and other household pets with strong stomachs.
The best late night food in the South Bay – It's not the best food, but after a night of drinking it somehow becomes the only thing I want. Don't order too much because you get a lot, it's not Taco Bell. One of the best parts of Bravo though is checking out the late night clientele. And if you're really hungry, try ordering a "boneyard"-not all employees will know what that is unfortunately. Bravo is cheap and it shows, but out of all the late night fast food choices there are, it's the best.
Forget Taco Bell! – They do not skimp on ingredients! Excellent food! Great Value!
Great food – Ignore the last persons comments, he doesn't know what he's talking about, this place is great. Had a few friends introduce me to this place about 4 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I make the journey to Campbell as much as I can and wish they had more closer (theres also one in Fremont but wish there was one in or close to San Bruno). Not talking top notch/authentic Mexican food here, but its awesome none the less. The hot sauce is great, go for the double nachos (ask for both the naco cheese sauce and the shredded cheese). The crunchy beef tacos are great too. And make sure you know what you want before ordering, the employees will order for you if you can't make up your mind. Overall, eat here, sweet food, and if you don't like it, somethings wrong with you.

A couple of things. Pressue will be flakey until you can get rid of the galvanized.
All new shower valves have anti-scald technology to help prevent that. They adjust the balance between hot and cold as the pressure drops on one side to keep the temperature fairly even, so replace the valves. At a minimum, it will have a pressure balance valve built-into it.
Personally, I prefer an enhancement on that, a themostatically controlled valve. It does about the same thing, but you can set the desired temp, and winter to summer, it stays the same.
To extend the amount of hot water available, you'd need to do two things: turn the thermostat up AND install a tempering valve on the outlet of the WH. That is an adjustable valve to mix some cold into the hot to 'temper' it to a safe value. They generally come from the factory set at 120-degrees. But, if you are going to replace the WH, you should consider sizing it to the expected use. It's still not a bad idea to run the WH hotter, since at 140 or above, typical bacteria and virus can't live (there are exceptions, but they're rare).

SOURCE California State University Institute for Palliative Care
With many programs available online, professional development offerings made easily accessible to healthcare workforce
SAN MARCOS, Calif., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The California State University Institute for Palliative Care (www.csupalliativecare.org), located at Cal State San Marcos, announced its spring and summer calendar of courses aimed at bringing the best practices of palliative care to the healthcare community.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/PH67787-a )
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/PH67787LOGO-b )
Helen McNeal, Executive Director of the Institute, said, "As chronic and serious conditions increase due to our aging population, America must have a workforce prepared to handle the growing demand for compassionate palliative care that goes hand-in-hand with curative treatment. Our cutting-edge palliative care courses are teaching nurses, social workers, chaplains and other healthcare professionals the latest and best practices in palliative care."
Many of the Institute's programs are fully online, while others offer a blend of classroom and online learning. In one of the Institute's program overview videos, curriculum developer and teacher Carma Erickson-Hurt, RN MSN, APRN, ACHPN, says, "I can honestly tell you that as someone who has taught both in the classroom and online, that I actually have more interaction within an online classroom than I ever do in a lecture format." That online interaction combined with flexibility and accessibility is why the Institute continues to experience such rapid growth.
Palliative Care Courses Being Offered This Spring/Summer:
Advanced Practice Nurse Fellowship
This program reflects a unique partnership between the Institute, the CSUSM School of Nursing, the Doris A. Howell Service at UCSD and employers needing experienced advanced practice nurses. Advanced practice nurses will have the opportunity to work for their health care employers while completing a ten-month program in palliative care. There are multiple Cal State University campuses throughout California participating in this program. This course begins June 3.
Post-MSW Palliative Care Certificate
The first and only online certificate program designed to enhance the skills of MSWs in palliative care. The CSU Institute for Palliative Care's Post-MSW Palliative Care Social Work Certificate program is designed to provide master's prepared social workers with the knowledge and skills to be successful working in a palliative care, interprofessional environment whether that is in a hospital, hospice or other setting. Next course starts May 5th. SEE VIDEO description.
RN Certificate in Palliative Care
The RN Certificate in Palliative Care is a dynamic 8-week online course aimed at enhancing nurses' competencies and knowledge of palliative care. The curriculum provides essential knowledge for professionals who deliver, or want to learn more about delivering, palliative nursing care regardless of the setting (hospice, inpatient/outpatient palliative care, oncology, long-term care, etc.) The next course begins April 7. SEE VIDEO overview.
RN Hospice and Palliative Care Nursing (CHPN) Certification Prep
As organizations like the Joint Commission, CMS and others look for health care organizations to deliver palliative care using professionals with recognized certifications, nurses working in palliative are recognizing the value of taking the NBCHPN RN Certification exam. There will be more focus on pain and symptom management and greater opportunity for practice test questions in this training. This program is offered in partnership with the Hospice & Palliative Nurses Association San Diego Chapter. The course is May 3-4 in San Diego.
Palliative Care Chaplaincy Specialty Certificate
The California State University Institute for Palliative Care and HealthCare Chaplaincy Network – two leaders in their fields – have created an online certificate course to support chaplains and other spiritual care providers with the delivery of palliative care to patients and their families in hospitals, hospices, long-term care facilities, and elsewhere. The next course begins March 31st. SEE VIDEO overview.
About the CSU Institute for Palliative Care
The CSU Institute for Palliative Care at Cal State San Marcos is America's first statewide educational and workforce development initiative dedicated to palliative care. The Institute offers professional development and continuing education courses designed to enhance the skills of current and future health care professionals, as well as programs to build palliative care awareness in the community.

Hello all! So I made the mistake of not keeping myself update with all the developments in the community and now I am overwhelmed!
Here's my dilemma:
I used the jailbrak/anysim method on an OTB 1.0.2 iPhone.... awhile later I followed this tutorial :
To virginize and then this one:
To update and and unlock.
So I have now an unlocked 1.1.1 with baseband 04.01.13_G. What steps do I need to take to upgrade to an unlocked 1.1.4? Can you guys point me to some tutorials on what I need to do?
I read one, but it was for a different baseband and was told it would not work..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

|It has been suggested that Manubrium be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2014.
Position of sternum in human (shown in red).
Posterior surface of sternum.
|Anatomical terms of bone
The sternum (from Greek στέρνον, sternon, "chest"; plural "sternums" or "sterna") or breastbone is a long flat bony plate shaped like a capital "T" located anteriorly to the heart in the center of the thorax (chest). It connects to the rib bones via cartilage, forming the anterior section of the rib cage with them, and thus helps to protect the lungs, heart and major blood vessels from physical trauma. Although it is fused, the sternum can be sub-divided into three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process.[1]
The sternum is an elongated, flattened bone, forming the middle portion of the anterior wall of the thorax. The superior end supports the clavicles (collarbones), and its margins articulate with the cartilages of the first seven pairs of ribs. Its top is also connected to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It consists of three main parts, listed superior to inferior:
- Manubrium
- Body of sternum (gladiolus)
- Xiphoid process
In its natural position, the inclination of the bone is oblique from above, downward and forward. It is slightly convex in front and concave behind; broad above, shaped like a "T", becoming narrowed at the point where the manubrium joins the body, after which it again widens a little to below the middle of the body, and then narrows to its lower extremity. Its average length in the adult is about 17 cm, and is rather longer in the male than in the female.
In early life its body is divided in four segments, called sternebrœ (singular: sternebra).
The manubrium (ma-NOO-bree-um) is the broad superior portion of the sternum. The suprasternal (jugular) notch is medially located at the superior end of the manubrium. You can feel this notch between your two clavicles (collarbones). Located superiorly and laterally are the right and left clavicular notches.[1]
Body of sternum[edit]
The body, or gladiolus, is the longest part of the sternum. The sternal angle is located at the point where the body joins the manubrium. The sternal angle can be felt at the point where the sternum projects farthest forward. However, in some people the sternal angle is concave or rounded. During physical examinations, the sternal angle is a useful landmark when counting ribs because the second rib attaches here.[1]
Xiphoid process[edit]
Located at the inferior end of the sternum is the pointed xiphoid process. Improperly performed chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation can cause the xiphoid process to snap off, driving it into the liver which can cause a fatal hemorrhage.[1]
The sternum is composed of highly vascular tissue, covered by a thin layer of compact bone which is thickest in the manubrium between the articular facets for the clavicles.
The superior seven costal cartilages articulate with the sternum forming the costal margin anteriorly. The right and left clavicular notches articulate with the right and left clavicles, respectively. The costal cartilage of the second rib articulates with the sternum at the sternal angle making it easy to locate.[2]
The transversus thoracis muscle is innervated by the intercostal nerve and superiorly attaches at the posterior surface of the lower sternum. Its inferior attachment is the internal surface of costal cartilages two through six and works to depress the ribs.[3]
Clinical significance[edit]
Fractures of the sternum are rather uncommon. They may result from trauma, such as when a driver's chest is forced into the steering column of a car in a car accident. A fracture of the sternum is usually a comminuted fracture. The most common site of sternal fractures is at the sternal angle. Some studies reveal that repeated punches or continual beatings, sometimes called "sternum punches", to the sternum area have also caused fractured sternums. Those are known to have occurred in contact sports such as rugby and football. Sternum fractures are frequently associated with underlying injuries such as pulmonary contusions, or bruised lung tissue.[4] A somewhat rare congenital condition of the sternum is a sternal foramen, a single round hole in the sternum that is present from birth and usually is off-centered to the right or left, commonly forming in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th segments of the sternum body. Congenital sternal foramens can often be mistaken for bullet holes.[5]
The sternum is sometimes cut open (a median sternotomy) to gain access to the thoracic contents when performing cardiothoracic surgery or other thoracic surgery.
Other animals[edit]
The sternum or breastbone, in vertebrate anatomy, is a flat bone that lies in the middle front part of the rib cage. It is endochondral in origin.[6] It probably first evolved in early tetrapods as an extension of the pectoral girdle; it is not found in fish. In amphibians and reptiles it is typically a shield-shaped structure, often composed entirely of cartilage. It is absent in both turtles and snakes. In birds it is a relatively large bone and typically bears an enormous projecting keel to which the flight muscles are attached.[7] Only in mammals does the sternum take on the elongated, segmented form seen in humans. In some mammals, such as opossums, the individual segments (sternebrae) never fuse and remain separated by cartilagenous plates throughout life.[7]
In arachnids, the sternum is the ventral (lower) portion of the cephalothorax. It consists of a single sclerite situated between the coxa, opposite the carapace.
English sternum is a translation of Ancient Greek στέρνον.[8] The Greek writer Homer used the term στέρνον to refer to the male chest.[9][10] The term στῆθος was used by Homer to refer to the chest of both sexes.[9][10] The Greek physician Hippocrates used στέρνον to refer to the chest,[9][10] and στῆθος to the breastbone.[9][10] The Greek physican Galen was the first to use στέρνον in the present meaning of breastbone.[9][10]
The στέρνον can be considered as the solid bony part of the chest.[11] From that perspective, στέρνον can be related to Ancient Greek στερεός/στερρός,[11] firm/solid.[10] English breastbone is actually more akin to Latin os pectoris,[12][13] derived from classical Latin os, bone[14] and pectus, chest/breast.[14] Confusingly, pectus is also used in classical Latin as breastbone.[14]

Cellar/Tasting Notes Silver Medal winner, Concours Des Grands Vins de France. "... this excellent Medoc is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Dark ruby/purple, with an attractively perfumed nose of red and black fruits, licorice and unsmoked cigar tobacco, it is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Domaine Grand Venuer's 2010 Lirac Clos de Sixte is outstanding. It is a full-bodied, rich, textural wine with abundant blue and black fruits interwoven with garrigue and licorice..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The blending consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot.
An attractive, bright, intense carmine purplish red colour. The nose is finely perfumed with notes of spices, lovely ripe fruits and a hint of well- measured oak. In the palate this wine is quite round and juicy..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Second wine of Chateau Preuillac.
After the harvests, carried out exclusively by hand, begins the long labour of "orchestration" to compose the best possible wine - balanced, harmonious and allowing the fruit its fullest expression. At the end of the process, the wines of Chateau Preuillac..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Winemaker's Notes: "This wine is both simple and elegant. A nice purple colour. Delicate red fruit aromas on the nose. This is a great example of what the Pinot Noir grape can produce on the Burgundian terroir."
Joseph Drouhin Pre-Arrival sale: The village wines will arrive in June 2013..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This bordeaux blend, produced from the young vines of the chateau, is made like its older brother (Chateau Cantemerle) Les Allées de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential. As it ages more quickly, Les Allées de Cantemerle is generally ready..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Possesses a subtle, pure nose of black fruits, lead pencil shavings, and spring flowers as well as excellent to outstanding concentration, purity, and harmony.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fabulously fruity and wonderfully priced and bursting with aromas of strawberry, incense and wild flowers.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The wines from this 5th generation family-estate offer incredible values, especially in a vintage like 2010. Chofflet represents the best of the Cote Chalonnaise.

Sales Psychology – The Theory of Mind
July 25, 2013 in Attitudes & Behaviours, Communication, Emotional Intelligence, Life Skills, Mindful selling, Sales Psychology, Sales Relationships
When we interact and work with people (customers, colleagues, managers, friends, family, etc.) it is important to be able to interpret and understand where the other person is coming from – their perspective, especially if we want to continue interacting and working with them in a manner that is beneficial to both parties.
Interpreting and understanding where another person is coming from does not automatically imply that we agree with their perspective. We may not agree. However, we at least know where they stand, what their perspective is, how they see the world. Ideally, the other person would respond in kind but that is not always the case. It is critical to our survival that we understand that others might see things differently to ourselves.
This is about Theory of Mind.
Imagine that you are conducting a test with preschool children:
- You get a tube of M&M's and take out the chocolate and put in coloured pencils.
- You then ask the child what they think is in the tube (they haven't seen you take out the chocolate and put in the pencils) and they would (if they know what M&M's are) say that they think there is chocolate in the tube.
- You then show them that there isn't chocolate, but pencils in the tube.
- You ask them: 'if your best friend (name) walked through the door and saw the tube, what would he/she think was in the tube?'
- If the child says pencils, the test is failed. If the child says chocolate the test is positive.
What is being tested here is if the child has developed Theory of Mind or not.
Theory of Mind is the ability to interpret and understand another person's mind and see their perspective. Successful sales / business professionals have Theory of Mind.
Theory of Mind is a theory insofar as the mind of a person is not directly observable. Therefore one has to make the presumption that others have a mind because each human being can only intuit the existence of their own mind through introspection, and no one has direct access to the mind of another.
Having Theory of Mind allows a person to attribute thoughts, desires and intentions to others, to predict or explain their actions and to posit their intentions.
Empathy is a related concept of Theory of Mind. Empathy means there is recognition and understanding of the different states of mind, including beliefs, desires and particularly emotions of others. It is the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes".
What is interesting is that Theory of Mind appears to be an innate potential ability in people, but an ability that requires social and other experiences over many years to bring to cultivate and bring to fruition. We know that different people may develop more, or less, effective theories of mind.
To be able to accomplish this essential capability successfully is a life time's work. It involves the regular practice and coordination of many skills and capabilities including: active listening, questioning, empathy, reflection, analysis, interpretation and association, paraphrasing, innovating, challenging ideas, assertiveness, diplomacy, etc. These capabilities, in themselves, can and need to be crafted over many years as a part of our sales / business and people resources if we are to master our roles as sales professionals and leaders.
The mastering of this psychological construct is essential for our success in any professional or personal relationship, especially Sales.
Why is Theory of Mind important to sales and business?
You cannot hope to survive or thrive in business or life without a well developed Theory of Mind. Only through the continuous practice and implementation of Theory of Mind can we fully understand our colleagues, partners and clients' perspectives and then look for mutually beneficial solutions based on real, tangible and fair exchanges of value.
Remember, everybody lives by selling something.

And so is a fan who has done a complete remake on that trailer with......... LEGO!! It's really well done. Now if he would do the whole movie with lego that would be an even more amazing achievement.

The wine was fabulous, the staff is down to earth it was really a very nice experience- we sat on the covered porch during a thunderstorm enjoying the wine, cheese and meats...great place.
The wine was fabulous, the staff is down to earth it was really a very nice experience- we sat on the covered porch during a thunderstorm enjoying the wine, cheese and meats...great place.
I was pleasantly surprised at the number of different wines available for sampling. The staff was very helpful and did allow time to taste the 7 different wines. We found several we enjoyed and purchased a supply for at home to enjoy. Recommend stop when visiting Green Bay, WI.
what a pleasant afternoon when we happened to stop in Captain's Walk. Seven wines are included in the tasting, The staff was both pleasant and informative. They have whites and reds. Wine is such a personal issue but we all found one or more that we liked and bought a few bottles for our tailgate. Recommend to visit here if... More
Especially liked the Naughty Girl red wine. Found that it was pricey to ship home. The tasting was fun and reasonable. Our guide was knowledegable and friendly. Easy to find in town.
First time at the winery. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. We will go again next time we're in town.
Went to Captain's Walk for a complimentary wine tasting included with our St. Brendan's Inn stay. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable of their wines. Took the time to go over wine drinking basics to a few of the wine newbies in our group. Ended up buying a case and joining the case club. Upon check out they remembered... More
This was our first visit to this winery and we enjoyed it. It had a clean, pleasant atmosphere and lots of good wines. The tour was interesting and informative.
We love going to Captain's Walk Winery! All the people are so nice and knowledgable! The pizza there are so good! Fun place to take guest when visiting GB as the building has lots of history!!
We did a wine tasting here with friends. The building itself was a very cool historic building. There is an upstairs with some lounges. The main floor has 2 different bars. We sampled 6 different wines. The staff was great and friendly, offering up their suggestions and answering all questions we had about the wine. And the wine was good!!!
The staff was friendly and the wine good but the problem I had was we bought a case of wine and we were still charged for the wine tasting! I don't believe that was right... It wasn't like they are generous with their pours!!

I love this scent. I don't normally wear perfume and usually go subtle if I do. This one isn't really subtle but I love it so much! I get lots of compliments on it. It's hard to describe - fruity and floral but without being sweet or super feminine. edgy + girly is right I guess.
I was not impressed with this scent. It reminded me of something a grandmother would wear. Very overpowering and did not wear well throughout the day.
A great perfume for during the day. Subtle and pleasing to the senses. Light enough to mix with your other favorite scents.
I tend to do one scent at a time, and I was getting towards the end of my J'Adore. I always liked the fragrance, but it ended being a little light and sweet while I was wearing it. I first got this as a sample.
As a side note, I'm nearly 40 and I don't want a girl fragrance - I want a woman fragrance. As soon as I put this on, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for! I didn't get the "rocker" part, but it's feminine, but sophisticated, and more modern than, say, Chanel no. 5 (which is sophisticated, but always smelled like an older woman to me). I get compliments on this every time I wear it.
I LOVE this perfume! I got my birchbox and completely forgot about this perfume until I found it yesterday and decided to try it. I smelled it all day long and I kept getting little whiffs of the scent and it smelled so good! By far one of my favorite perfumes.. I'm actually going to buy this!
I love this scent so much that I immediately bought a whole bottle. It's light and not overwhelming. I haven't gotten tired of the scent after wearing it every day. I can wear it day or night and it is fitting for any occasion and it isn't an over the top cheesy high school smell like some celebrities are selling today. I'd highly recommend it!
I got this in my box and begged my boyfriend to me it for me for valentines day. This is the best smelling perfume ever! I always find myself sniffing my wrist while I'm out. It has a beautiful smell of vanilla that doesn't smell like a cheap perfume. And the bottle is so pretty,
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this perfume. I am a very big perfume collector, different smells for different seasons or even moods and this one is perfect for winter time. i feel its a bit too strong for fall time but it could definitly be pulled off
I always get complimented when I wear this perfume, and my boyfriend loves it more than any perfume I've ever had. Strongly recommend!
love this scent. not too overpowering. It's just right floral and light. Not spicy at all. I will be buying this full size.

From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Domenico Montanaro
*** Wright reappears…: Obama had himself a bad day yesterday, and he wasn't even on the campaign trail. Thanks to the advanced excerpts of a Rev. Jeremiah Wright interview on PBS (which airs tonight at 9:00 pm ET), as well as Wright's dismissal of Obama's criticism of him as just politics, this wasn't something the Obama campaign could have been pleased with. That said, if the Moyers interview -- which will likely only be watched by Obama's PBS-watching base, but will also be picked up by others -- ends up humanizing Wright, it could be helpful in the long term. But short term, his appearance wasn't helpful in a week the Clinton campaign is ramping up its argument that Obama isn't electable.
VIDEO: NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, says controversial statements from his sermons were taken out of context.
*** … And so does Bill: But will Bill Clinton -- and the comments he made earlier this week about Obama playing the race card -- overshadow Wright today? It might happen, thanks to these comments by Rep. Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking African American in Congress. "In an interview with The New York Times late Thursday, Mr. Clyburn said Mr. Clinton's conduct in this campaign had caused what might be an irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African-American constituency that once revered him. 'When he was going through his impeachment problems, it was the black community that bellied up to the bar,' Mr. Clyburn said. 'I think black folks feel strongly that that this is a strange way for President Clinton to show his appreciation.'" More: "Clyburn added that there appeared to be an almost 'unanimous' view among African-Americans that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were 'committed to doing everything they possibly can to damage Obama to a point that he could never win.'" Clyburn's the first major Dem leader to give voice to the speculation that Clinton is staying in to prepare for 2012. By the way, Clyburn is still officially uncommitted but given the opinions he's expressing, is he really?
*** The CW is now set: Two new Indiana polls are out that show the race there to be as close as we have expected it to be. Per a South Bend Tribune/Research 2000 poll (conducted April 21 to April 24), it's Obama 48%, Clinton 47%. And an Indy Star/WTHR poll -- conducted (April 20 to April 23) by Ann Selzer, who famously got Iowa right -- has it Obama 41%, Clinton 38%. The biggest surprise in the Selzer survey is Obama's strength against McCain -- he leads him in Indi-freaking-ana! Clinton's basically even with McCain. Is the GOP brand in THAT bad of shape in reliably red Indiana? According to these and other polls, this race doesn't look like Ohio or Pennsylvania at all, where Clinton had significant leads two weeks out. Rather, it looks like a jump ball. Meanwhile, the Washington Post cements the CW about North Carolina: To change the race, Clinton needs to upset Obama here, or get awfully close to it. "North Carolina, with its large African American population, has long been seen as a firewall for Obama after contests in Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere that favored Clinton. A win here and in Indiana, which also votes May 6, could cement his status as the front-runner."
VIDEO: Chuck Todd talks about the potential for a general election fight in Indiana and Majority Leader Harry Reid's assertion that he may call on superdelegates to pledge their support, soon.
*** Track the ad spending: What's going on with Clinton's money? According to various sources, here's what we know right now regarding TV ad buys: Obama is up in Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, and now Kentucky. Clinton is on par with Obama in Indiana and has a little less money on the air than Obama in the Tar Heel State. This will be a good way to find out just how much of Clinton's initial $10 million windfall is useful in the primary. Currently she's not up in any states beyond IN and NC, but $10 million is more than enough for those two states. So watch the buys closely in these two states plus Kentucky, West Virginia, and Oregon to see how deep the Clinton campaign's resources are.
*** Jumping ship? This piece by Tom Edsall in the Huffington Post is bound to be a topic of discussion today: "In a blink of an eye, the media has jumped ship from the Obama campaign and become a crucial Clinton ally, pressing just the message -- that Obama is a likely loser in the general election -- that Hillary and her allies have been promoting for the past six weeks… For Hillary, the shift is a potential lifesaver as she struggles to keep her head above water; without it, she would, metaphorically, drown." The media's constant refrain, Edsall's piece points out, is that exit polls show Obama faring poorly with working-class voters, and that could doom him in the fall. But as one of us wrote yesterday, has this exit-poll analysis gone a little too far? After all, when McCain was losing evangelicals, weekly church-goers, and Republicans without college degrees -- even after the he became the presumptive GOP nominee -- no one was declaring that he'd have a huge problem with these folks in the fall. Can exit polls in a primary race tell us as much about the general election as the chattering class is claiming when you're dealing with different candidates and different voters?
*** What are the supers thinking? While the focus after Pennsylvania is all on Obama, Elizabeth Drew has a piece in the Politico reminding us all the flaws that Hillary would bring to the table in a general election -- flaws that the superdelegates aren't forgetting. Clinton, she writes, still hasn't answered the question marks over her head: Can she be a helpful leader of the Democratic Party? Can she have a better track record at building the party than her husband did? Right now, she doesn't have to answer those questions because she's the challenger; it's Obama's burden. But the undecided superdelegates are remembering the original reasons they didn't rush to her side in the first place. Ultimately, if she's to convince the supers to deny Obama the nomination, she needs to answer the concerns Dems originally had with her.
*** What will it take? Yesterday, Obama picked up Oregon Rep. David Wu, and has rolled out three superdelegates to Clinton's one despite Clinton's Pennsylvania primary victory. Clinton very nearly reached that 10-point mark in Pennsylvania, and superdelegates don't yet appear to be moved. Clinton leads in the superdelegate count 263-240, the closest the count has been. Obama leads overall: 1,731-1,597. In the pledged count, Obama is up 1,491-1,334. There are 292 superdelegates still to be had (229 of those are named; there are 63 vacancies/add-ons).
*** GOP targets Obama: The LA Times runs a piece on the GOP ramping up its attacks -- on TV and radio -- against Obama. Once again, the CW has been overturned: A year ago, the assumption was the Democratic nominee was going to have the time and resources to define the GOP nominee. Well, it appears the Republican Party is getting the head start on defining Obama, thanks to the protracted race. In fact, it couldn't have worked out better -- as Clinton's attacks on Obama are helping to reinforce the GOP attacks. The Republican Party can afford to ignore Clinton for now because 1) they don't believe she'll be the nominee and 2) they've spent 16 years defining her to swing voters.
*** On the trail: Clinton begins her day in Jacksonville, NC and then heads to Indiana, where she stumps in Bloomington, Gary, and East Chicago; McCain is in Little Rock, AR, where he visits and holds a media avail at Arkansas Baptist College and then goes to Oklahoma City; and Obama, in Indiana, holds a rally in Bloomington (about an hour before Clinton's event there) and a town hall in Kokomo. Also, Bill Clinton is in Oregon, and Chelsea Clinton and Michelle Obama are in Indiana.

TALLAHASSEE – Charlie Crist 2.0 must answer a serious question before he becomes a serious alternative to presumed Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls like former CFO Alex Sink, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer or ex-Broward Sen. Nan Rich.
While he may not want to be "chain-gang" Charlie anymore, he still needs to be the old "Cha-Ching" Charlie we remember.
In his 2006 gubernatorial win, Crist raised $60 million though his campaign and the Republican Party of Florida, smashing the prior record haul of Jeb Bush. But he couldn't duplicate that feat has an independent U.S. Senate candidate in 2010, in part because he didn't have the highly paid fundraisers with high-powered Rolodexes that membership in either major party affords.
Crist acknowledges that his fundraising mojo dried up when he was a man without a party.
"A lot of the Republicans continued to give while some did not," he said Friday. "While a lot of Democrats were helpful, some were a little reluctant. For those two reasons it was difficult, as was expected."
Early polling suggests Crist could be the most formidable challenger to Gov. Rick Scott in 2014, presuming the newly minted Democrat decides to run for the job he gave up to seek a U.S. Senate seat.
But the Republican Party of Florida has a blitz of golden oldies lined up, and Crist may have to contort himself into a pretzel on abortion, gay-marriage, crime and other issues in order to woo Democratic primary activists.
"I don't know how loyal Democrats take his conversion seriously," said Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, a former Bartow congressman rumored to be eyeing his own run for governor.
The latest example is a 2010 clip from CNN when the then-governor said he supported the state's gay-marriage constitutional ban because "when it comes to marriage, I believe it's between a man and a woman." Crist told reporters this week that he regretted that decision.
But Democratic voters might be convinced to look past hard-line social positions that change over time. After all, Mitt Romney managed to convince GOP primary voters he'd changed his mind on abortion rights and climate change.
The real elephant here isn't Crist's past. It's his ability to raise cash.
Scott still has a net worth of $82.9 million after sinking $73 million of his personal fortune into his 2010 victory. With the might of the RPOF machine behind him, Scott should be able to replicate the total $100 million he spent in his first campaign, if it comes to that.
If Crist runs, it will come to that.
"Charlie Crist is the most aggressive and effective fundraiser in Florida history, but he did that as a Republican. It remains to be seen if he can replicate that as a Democrat," said friend and former Crist fundraiser Brian Ballard, a GOP lobbyist who is supporting Scott's re-election.
"If anyone can translate that success, it would be Charlie."
Crist raised most of his cash in 2006 from Florida sources, trial lawyers in particular. That support would persist if his current employer, uber-trial lawyer John Morgan, has any say.
And Democratic fundraisers nationwide might be willing to line up support to take out Scott in 2014, particularly if the candidate is a guy who was chased out of the GOP for hugging Barack Obama – and campaigned forcefully for him this year.
Crist's speech to the Democratic National Convention wasn't well-received by the media. But it engendered good-will among the national Democratic donors who would be critical for a Crist candidacy.
That's the audience with real pull in the formative stages of campaigns. We'll see if it's strong enough.

blond little girl hiding under a blanket in a Roma encampment in Greece has spotlighted a group perceived by many as "Gypsies," a term without much context and cultural immediacy in America. But for Europeans, issues surrounding of the Romani people — their identity and how they fit into today's society — are very real and extremely controversial.The recent discovery of a pale,
Related: Greece Trying to Identify Girl Found in Roma Camp
The girl, known as Maria and called the "blonde angel" by the Greek media, was found when police raided a settlement near the city of Larissa, about 170 miles north of Athens, looking for drugs, weapons, and other contraband. She was the only fair, blue-eyed child in a family of 13 kids, and her parents offered conflicting stories about how she had ended up in their care. On Monday, Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou were charged with abducting a minor. While there are countless unanswered questions surrounding the case — for one, the births of 10 of the other children were all registered during a 12-month period — the couple's lawyer is saying the girl, who is about 5, was unofficially adopted from an impoverished young Bulgarian woman. A local leader calls it a case of discrimination. "They accuse the Roma of everything—of stealing, of snatching kids," Babis Dimitriou, the head of the Roma community in Larissa, told Reuters, "Do these things only happen among our race? This is a huge insult for us."

The Roma, a broad ethnic designation that encompasses a diverse group of people, including Manush, Ashkali, Sinti and others, trace their origins back to India, and DNA testing has confirmed they are from the Punjab region. It's speculated that they migrated to Europe starting about 1,500 years ago. They are unrelated to the people of Romania, although more than 500,000 live in that country. When they first began to trickle into Europe, it was believed they had come from Egypt, hence the name "Gypsy," which derives from the Middle English for "Egyptian" and is now considered derogatory by some.
According to the European Commission, there are about 10 to12 million Roma living in Europe, which makes them the largest ethnic minority on the continent, and 90 percent live below the poverty line. Amnesty International says they face broad discrimination including being forcibly evicted from settlements and forced into segregated schools. In 2004, the commission found that some Romani women had been subjected to coerced sterilization in a number of countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany and Switzerland. Their marginalization and persecution date back centuries. For hundreds of years in the Balkans, they were prohibited from marrying outside of their ethnic group and many were sold into slavery. It's estimated that 25 to 75 percent were wiped out during Hitler's mass exterminations in World War II.
While the European Union has outlined policies intended to tackle poverty among the Roma discrimination against them, individual countries are struggling with how to deal with their Roma populations. The recent case of Leonarda Dibrani, a schoolgirl who was hauled off a bus in France in front of her classmates and deported to her former home in Kosovo after her family lost a legal battle for asylum, touched a raw nerve in France and ignited student protests. (Leonarda's parents were attacked in the street upon their return to Kosovo.) In 2012, France increased its deportation of Roma by over 12 percent. According to the Independent, Northern European governments have geared up campaigns to prevent Roma immigration, as hostility against them, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, has increased during the economic downturn.
Some Roma have resorted to criminal behavior — any visitor to Rome or Madrid has probably been warned about the risk of being pick pocketed by ragtag groups of children dispatched to target tourists. In France, a gang of 27 Roma is currently being tried for selling child brides and organizing a widespread syndicate of thieves. Livia Jaroka, an anthropologist and the only Romani member of the European Parliament, told the New York Times that years of intolerance and bigotry have led to crushing poverty, substance abuse, and epidemic unemployment. "The cultural explanation for Roma criminality is nonsense," she said. "It is about economics." While the Roma may be Europe's last nomads, their transience is perhaps less due to traditional ways of life than decades — if not centuries — of hostility toward them putting down roots.

An appeals court just dealt the latest blow to the open Internet. The court struck down the Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet Order because of the questionable legal framework the agency used when it adopted its Net Neutrality rules in 2010.
This ruling means there is no one who can protect us from ISPs that block or discriminate against websites, applications or services.
But there's hope: FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler can correct the agency's past mistakes and truly protect our nation's communications infrastructure. The agency must take the necessary steps to make broadband networks open, accessible, reliable and affordable for everyone.

"It was a difficult purchase ONLY for the fact that there were so many beautiful invitations and fonts to choose from. This invitation turned out great. Its cardstock is thick and the colors are bright. Purchase was completed without a hitch! I definitely recommend this product."
"I ordered these baby shower invitations for a couples baby shower for my daughter and her husband. I wanted something that worked with the colors she had picked for the nursery. Those colors are bright orange, bright pink and some gray. The order process was easy and the invitations arrived ahead of schedule. The quality was wonderful. We will be using Tiny Print for all of our printing needs in the future. My daughter is deciding on birth announcements from Tiny Prints right now."
"I ordered this style for my sister's baby shower. It's even cuter in person. I loved the chevron print for the backside. It's a simple, but very sweet invitation. I made a few adjustments on the font for the names, but it turned out great. Thick paper and good quality. Helps that you can get envelopes to fit, and still get away with standard postage! I recommend the rounded edges for sure. Adds a lot to it."
"This is my first experience with Tiny Prints. I used weddingpaperdivas for our wedding and was thrilled with the quality of our wedding stationary. Because of our experience there, we chose Tiny Prints and were not disappointed. The quality is the finest and the price is unbeatable, especially wen you can use their discounts. I am always impressed by how quickly I receive our order. I have received so many compliments on how cute and modern the whole invitation is. I used the back of the invitation to note information about the registry. I love the design so much, I'm hoping to use it as our nursey inspiration."
"What I seen on the web and what I set my expectation was completely met. A little on the high price but definitely a quality factor. They were amazing and even had a couple other friends go through the site after receiving my baby shower invite. Even had the bakery copy the top half portion and display on the shower cake. Worth it!"
