The School of Choice policy provides the opportunity for parents who reside within the school district's attendance boundaries to enroll their student in any school within the district on a space available basis.
Each school is required to serve the students who live within its attendance area prior to accepting any students from outside its attendance boundary.
Though the district supports parental choice and is committed to Intra-District School of Choice, once enrollment reaches school capacity, that school or grade level will have waiting lists created through a lottery process. If an opening becomes available at the requested grade level, parents will be notified. Once school begins in the fall, students on waiting lists will not be moved to attend another school.
The following conditions also restrict the opportunities for Intra-District Open Enrollment:
- Parents must provide transportation.
- Space must be available at the requested school and at the requested grade level.
School of Choice Process
If you desire permanent status at a school in the Redondo Beach Unified School District which is different than your local/neighborhood school, OR you are attending your present school on an Intra-District Permit (Redondo Beach resident), the following steps need to be taken.
- Please note that the School of Choice window begins March 1, 2017.
- Meet with your home school Principal to get the School of Choice Request form. The signature of your home school Principal is required on this form.
- Fill out the School of Choice Request form. You will need to complete one form for EACH student.
- Return the School of Choice Request form to the Educational Services Department at the District Office by March 31, 2017. This form must be personally delivered to the District Office. We will not accept mailed or faxed copies.
- Requests are kept not according to the date they are received.
- Names are drawn from a school-level and grade-level lottery May 19, 2017 (if needed).
- The number of students selected in the LOTTERY will be determined by the amount of space available at each school/grade.
- After available spaces are filled, a waiting list is created by drawing the remaining LOTTERY names. However, once the school year begins, we will not be moving students from their home schools.
- If space comes available at the school in that grade level, students will be offered an opportunity to enroll.
- Once you are accepted at your school of choice during open enrollment, that school will become your permanent home school unless you move.
Should you have any questions about the School of Choice process, please feel free to contact either your home school and/or the Educational Services Office at (310) 937-1223.

Should Matt Damon be Führer-ious with Dublin Bus over this advert?
An eagle eyed passerby spotted a rather unfortunate problem with the promotional displays on many a Dublin bus for Matt Damon's latest film 'The Martian'.
Can you spot what the issue might be? Think Germany, 1933 to 1945.
Many of the capital's buses currently feature a large poster of Mr Damon's face, and just falling short of the Hollywood star's lip is the route sign – which, awkwardly, makes him look quite a bit like the infamous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler when blank.
The image was uploaded two days ago, and has already gotten more than 22,000 hits.
Lets hope it does not lead to confusion over what exactly 'The Martian' is actually about.

Public Information Notice: IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with Canada
February 18, 2000
|Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On February 2, 2000, the Executive Board concluded the 2000 Article IV consultation with Canada.1
The Canadian economy bounced back strongly from the effects of the Asian financial crisis and the turmoil in world financial markets last year, reflecting a rebound in commodity prices, continued strong U.S. growth, and strengthening domestic demand, particularly investment spending. After slowing significantly in late 1997 and in the first three quarters of 1998, output growth accelerated in the final quarter of 1998, with the recovery from the effects of some labor stoppages, and it rose at an annual rate of 4 percent during the first three quarters of 1999. The unemployment rate declined by a whole percentage point to an average of 8¼ percent in 1998, as employment growth picked up sharply. Subsequently, it has declined further, reaching 6.8 percent in January 2000, its lowest level in more than two decades. Core inflation (the CPI excluding food, energy, and the effects of changes in indirect taxes) has fluctuated within a narrow range around the lower end of the 1-3 percent official target range since early 1997. It picked up a bit in March-April 1999 and has fluctuated in a narrow range around 1½ percent (annual rate) through December. The overall CPI, however, has risen more rapidly, increasing by about 2½ percent annual rate during 1999, largely reflecting movements in energy and food prices.
The current account deficit rose slightly to 1¾ percent of GDP in 1998, but it declined to ½ percent in the first three quarters of 1999. Export growth rebounded sharply during 1999, owing to buoyant growth in U.S. markets and to the recovery in commodity prices. At the same time, growth in the value of imports slowed from its relatively rapid pace in 1998, despite the pickup in domestic demand, as the strengthening Canadian dollar helped to hold down import prices.
Following a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates in August 1998, the Bank of Canada matched the moves by the U.S. Federal Reserve and reduced interest rates in September-November 1998 by a cumulative 75 basis points. The Bank reduced short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in both March and May 1999 in order to support continued economic expansion and maintain inflation comfortably within the target range. Subsequently, Canadian interest rates were left unchanged, as U.S. interest rates were increased in June and August by a cumulative 50 basis points. The decision not to follow the Federal Reserve's rate hikes at that time reflected the Bank's assessment that monetary conditions in Canada were consistent with the inflation target. The Bank of Canada raised rates by 25 basis points in November 1999 and again in February 2000, in line with increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Over the past six years, decisive efforts by the Government produced a dramatic turnaround in the federal fiscal position, which shifted from a deficit of $42 billion (5¾ percent of GDP) in 1993/94 to a surplus of nearly $3 billion (¼ percent of GDP) in 1998/99 (fiscal year ending March 31). Substantial fiscal consolidation also occurred at the provincial level during this period, helping to shift the general government balance from a deficit of more than 5½ percent of GDP in 1994 to a surplus of about 1 percent of GDP in 1998 (national accounts basis). Largely as a result of restraint in public consumption and controls on capital spending, the aggregate budgetary balance of the provinces moved into a small surplus in 1997, before slipping back into a small deficit in 1998, as the Asian crisis and lower commodity prices reduced revenues in some provinces and other provinces used a portion of their "fiscal dividends" to cut income taxes. The ratio of general government net debt to GDP has declined from a peak of 70 percent of GDP in 1995 to about 62 percent in 1998, but at that level, it still remains above the average of all G-7 countries.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities for maintaining sound macroeconomic and structural policies over most of the past decade, which had underpinned the strong performance of the Canadian economy, now in its eighth consecutive year of expansion. As a result of the Bank of Canada's successful inflation targeting policy, inflation had been maintained at a level among the lowest of the major industrial countries. Sharp improvements in federal and provincial fiscal balances had resulted in a decline in the ratio of government debt to GDP in recent years, and the prospects were good for further reductions over the medium term. Directors also noted that important structural reforms had been adopted, including improvements in the employment insurance system, the more complete financing of the public old-age support system, the continuing removal of barriers to interprovincial trade, and a restructuring of provincial social assistance programs. Directors considered that these policy efforts had been reflected in a drop in the unemployment rate to its lowest level in two decades, low and stable inflation expectations, significant reductions in real and nominal interest rates, and a stable external position—with the external current account shifting toward surplus as commodity prices recovered.
Directors noted that resource utilization had risen significantly in the last year, and that there is considerable uncertainty as to how much slack might remain in the economy. Although core inflation has so far remained well-contained, Directors considered that the rapid pace of growth raises the prospect that any remaining slack could be exhausted quite quickly. However, the authorities' success in maintaining low inflation had established the credibility of the inflation targeting regime, and Directors were of the view that this provided the Bank of Canada with some room to maneuver in testing the economy's productive limits. Nevertheless, Directors noted that it would be important to ensure that the limits of potential output were not approached with undue speed, in order to minimize the risk of hitting capacity constraints before monetary policy could rein in excess demand pressures. They, therefore, welcomed the authorities' intention to respond promptly if signs of pressure on capacity or inflation should emerge, and noted that their pragmatic monitoring of a wide range of indicators should help in this assessment.
Directors supported the Government's intention to use the prospective fiscal surpluses to continue bringing down the ratio of public debt to GDP, while also acting to reform the income tax system and to increase spending moderately in priority areas of health care and education. However, in striking the balance among these competing goals, Directors recommended that debt reduction and income tax reform should be the top priorities. Many Directors believed that it would be prudent to target somewhat larger surpluses now—especially in view of the presently favorable economic conditions—in order to better prepare for the longer-term fiscal cost of an aging population (especially in the area of health care). Some Directors were of the view that the authorities' debt reduction strategy, which envisages using any unspent portion of the contingency reserve to pay down debt, was appropriate—as Canada's debt-to-GDP position did not raise fundamental sustainability issues.
At the same time, Directors noted that reducing the high burden of personal and corporate income taxes offered considerable scope for economic efficiency gains. They, therefore, strongly supported the Government's intention to introduce a multi-year plan to lower taxes and reduce tax distortions, while cautioning that the plan would need to be carefully phased so as to ensure its consistency with debt-reduction goals.
Directors noted that recent reforms in the Employment Insurance (EI) system were contributing to improved efficiency and flexibility of the labor market and to reducing structural unemployment. They welcomed the authorities' continuing commitment to these reforms in order to help the economy to operate at lower average levels of unemployment without triggering inflation. Furthermore, pointing to the still relatively high level of structural unemployment, a number of Directors believed that it would be appropriate to take additional steps to address remaining employment disincentives in the EI system. These Directors considered that phasing out the system of regional extended unemployment benefits would help to reduce disincentives to labor mobility. It was also suggested that tying the EI premiums for individual firms to the use of the system by their workers could yield additional improvements in the functioning of the labor market.
Directors commended the Canadian authorities on their demonstrated commitment to liberal trade through unilateral, regional, and multilateral initiatives. Nevertheless, they pointed out that Canada retained high rates of protection in certain sensitive sectors, such as agriculture and textiles and clothing. Directors encouraged the authorities to achieve greater liberalization in these areas in order to enhance the efficiency of the Canadian economy, as well as to improve economic prospects for many developing countries.
Directors welcomed Canada's participation in the pilot program of Financial System Stability Assessments. They noted that Canada's financial system was sound and stable, underpinned by strong balance sheets of banks and nonbanks. Directors also noted that there was a high degree of compliance with the major international principles and standards on banking, insurance, and securities regulation and supervision, and on transparency and the payments system, and considered Canada to be a source of best international practice in a number of areas. Indeed, Directors considered that the Canadian authorities had gone beyond the international standards to address certain more complex risks in the financial system. As in other major industrial countries with advanced banking systems, ongoing innovations in financial markets and global competitive pressures would pose a number of challenges. Directors agreed that the Canadian authorities were already substantially addressing these challenges through their well-developed supervisory framework-with its emphasis on a consolidated, risk-centered approach. Nevertheless, they considered that the growing importance of the securities industry suggested that coordinating and harmonizing the regulatory framework for the industry at the provincial level would require increased attention.
Directors welcomed the Prime Minister's recent statement that the Government intended to increase foreign aid in the next budget, and encouraged the authorities to move toward achieving their long-standing commitment to reach a development-assistance target of 0.7 percent of GNP.
Directors noted that the quality, coverage, periodicity, and timeliness of Canadian economic data were excellent both in the context of the Article IV consultation and for purposes of ongoing surveillance.

Rome: President McAleese at Irish College anniversary celebrations
Her Excellency President Mary Mc Aleese is taking part in the celebrations for the 375th anniversary of the foundation of the Pontifical Irish College in Rome today. The celebrations are also being attended by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Desmond Connell, Archbishop of Dublin, Most Rev Sean Brady, Archbishop of Armagh (a former Rector of the Irish College), representatives of Church and State and members of the Irish community living in Rome. November 6th is the Feast of All the Saints of Ireland, traditionally the patronal feast of the College. Included in the programme are two lectures on the history and ongoing contribution of the Irish College to religion and education in Ireland and beyond, and they will be given by Rev Dr Thomas O'Connor and Professor John Coolahan, both of NUI Maynooth. A monument to the many Irish Colleges that were scattered over continental Europe, by the Cork artist Ken Thompson, will be unveiled by President McAleese. The event will also include the publication of the manuscript history of the foundation of the College which was presented to the Pope earlier today. Originally written in Latin to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the College in 1678, this is a fascinating description of the struggle, imagination, courage, hope and angst experienced by the small group of Irish exiles and their Italian friends as they brought to fruition their dream of having an Irish College in Rome. The work is particularly significant in that it provides a unique insight into the Irish Catholic community at a time when it was suffering political and religious persecution. St Oliver Plunkett was a student at the College during this period. The College community was received in Audience yesterday, by Pope John Paul II who personally extended "a special greeting to the group from the Pontifical Irish College." Founded in 1628, the Irish College is the oldest Irish seminary and the inheritor of the long tradition of such colleges on the European mainland. Today, the College continues its original mission of preparing candidates for the diocesan priesthood in Ireland. It is also home to students from 13 other countries who are studying in many of Rome's ecclesiastical universities. The College is governed by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education and by the Irish Episcopal Conference. The present Rector, the 52nd in the College's history, is Monsignor Liam Bergin from the Diocese of Ossory. The College also serves as the focal point for the growing Irish community in Rome, and is a point of reference for Irish pilgrims, tourists and couples who marry in Rome. It also provides a vibrant point of contact between Irish and Italian culture. Further details can be found on the website of the Pontifical Irish College www.irishcollege.org

Tenth Mountain Division
Tenth Mountain Division revives the soul, spirit and eclectic intersection of influences that birthed rock'n'roll, afresh for the modern ear. Just a fancy way of saying that we're bringing back classic rock, because that's what we love! Originating from Boulder, CO, founders Winston Heuga (Mandolin) and MJ Ouimette (Electric/Acoustic Guitar) originally sought to create an acoustic bluegrass outfit. After a few years dedicated to playing bluegrass, the duo transitioned to an electrified, rock'n'roll sound. Here they found their stride when Ouimette and Heuga collaborated with bassist Connor Dunn, drummer Tyler Gwynn and the ever-talented keyboard player Campbell Thomas. Together the quintet creates a diverse soundscape that combines soaring electric guitar leads and melodic keyboards while retaining its roots in bluegrass with Heuga's incomparable mandolin style. The rhythmic interplay of Dunn's driving bass fused with Gwynn's incendiary drumming round out the unique sounding band that is truly a style of its own; what the band refers to as a "grass'n'roll ski band". Tenth Mountain Division has evolved greatly since its inception but retains its roots in the American musical styles of rock, jazz, improvisation, bluegrass and the crossroads between them all. The band has performed throughout Colorado from Boulder's Fox Theatre to Pardee Palooza Festival at State Bridge Amphitheatre. TMD's performance at the Fox Theater's installment of the Summer Camp: On The Road competition earned the band a slot at the 2016 Summer Camp Music Festival. Previously they've placed 2nd in CU's 2015 Battle of the Bands as well as winning fan favorite in that competition. Recently, the band released their first album 'Cracks In The Sky' in March of 2016, available now on all platforms!

One of the reasons pizza restaurants do so well on Super Bowl Sunday is that pizzas are easy (and inexpensive) to make. Another reason is that they taste good.
Keep in mind that a good pizza starts with a good crust. Pizza dough — risen, punched down and shaped into ready-to-roll balls — stores well in the refrigerator or freezer, so you can always keep some on hand for a quick dinner.
When it comes to toppings, the sky's the limit. But whatever you choose, try to use a light hand with the quantity. Pizzas cook better when they're not overloaded.
-- Deborah Geering, for the Journal-Constitution
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 8
- Dough for 1 pizza
2 to 3 tablespoons Nance's Chicken Wing Sauce or tomato sauce
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
3 to 4 ounces sliced roasted chicken
2 slices red onion, rings separated
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If you're using a pizza stone, preheat it. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza pan or pizza peel (if you're using a baking stone). Brush the crust with wing sauce. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese. Arrange chicken and onion rings on top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and blue cheese. Bake until the dough is cooked and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
Warning: Nance's Chicken Wing Sauce is hot. If your guests have less tolerance for heat, combine it with canned tomato sauce, or substitute store-bought pizza sauce instead. For simplicity, use precooked sliced chicken from the grocery store.

OK, I'll admit it — I have certain unrealistic expectations for my son. Don't get me wrong, some of our expectations are good — we expect him to do his homework, clean his room, and be polite, for example. Others, well, are not as reasonable.
Our son Alex, who is almost 8, has started to refuse to hug our relatives hello and good-bye, which drives me up the wall, and is borderline unacceptable in my husband's large Italian family — especially around the holidays. It's also resulted in some fairly awkward scenes, with me alternately begging and demanding that our son hug his aunts and uncles, and Alex drawing a line in the sand, setting his jaw and backing away from relatives who are waiting for him with outstretched arms.
He has also decided that answering adults when they talk to him just isn't necessary, and has begun to talk back and roll his eyes when we ask him to do things. (This scares me a little, because he's not even a pre-teen yet!) When we're at family gatherings, I find myself constantly saying, in a strained voice that is starting to verge on a whine, "Alex, Uncle Nick just asked you how school was going. You need to answer him," and "Stop being so sassy!"
When he talks back, ignores our family members or friends or turns away from a hug, I end up feeling embarrassed and more than a little out of control as a parent. I worry about what my family and my in-laws will think of me and my parenting skills, and am convinced that they assume that we're raising a spoiled, snotty, "typical only child." (James Lehman's wise words from the article Are You Embarrassed by Your Child's Behavior? echo in my ears: "Don't be a mind-reader. You don't know what other people are thinking, so don't assume that you do." Sometimes I'm able to stay calm and take his advice — but I'll be honest, it's not always easy!)
I understand that kids aren't socially adept yet, that their job is to test us as they grow up and that this is all a learning process. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know that most of my reactions are really about me, my ego and expectations. Taking the hugging expectation, for instance. "He's an 8-year-old boy," my husband says. "What 8-year-old kid likes to hug — especially boys?" I know Joe is right, but I also worry that Alex will grow up into a detached and self-involved person who doesn't have time for other people. In other words, I start connecting his behavior to future problems and go right to the bad place. (I imagine "the bad place" to look like the La Brea Tar Pits, only instead of saber tooth tigers and woolly mammoths, there are scenes from my failed attempts at parenting and my son's bad behavior trapped in the black goo.)
The thing is, I know that for the most part, Alex is a good kid with a huge heart…he just doesn't always show it in front of others these days. The one exception he makes when it comes to hugging is my mother-in-law, who has been very ill this year and has Alzheimer's. He is patient and gentle with her, but no one really sees this side of him besides me, my husband and my father-in-law.
So what to do? Since I always think of the end of the year as a time for reflection, I sat down and thought about what my expectations were for my son. Was I being fair? Which of our expectations were "needs" and which were "wants?"
Responding to adults and looking them in the eye when they talk to you was something my husband and I thought was necessary for our son to do. It's a matter of respect and an important lifelong social skill. We put that in the "need" column.
Hugging, we decided, was not something he needed to do. ("It makes me nervous," he said, "I just feel shy about it.") So we both thought it was important to respect the way he felt. Yes, I want him to hug everyone and be affectionate, but it's more important for him to listen to that inner voice that tells him to set boundaries. Instead, we just ask that he greets everyone nicely and shakes hands if possible. For the most part, he's doing pretty well. I also have noticed that the less upset I am about it, the more willing Alex is to comply, and the less likely our relatives are to comment or raise an eyebrow. Funny how that works sometimes.
Backtalk is not OK…but I have a few years to figure that one out, right?! (At least that's what I'm telling myself.) Future blog posts coming on that subject shortly, no doubt!
What I'm learning — and I'm not kidding myself about this, it's a process that will probably last a lifetime — is that many of my parental expectations are often tied to my own worries, hopes and fears. So my resolution this year is to let go of unreasonable expectations, and separate what I want my child to do because it makes me feel good from what my child really needs to do for his own growth and development.
Wish me luck!
What new behaviors has your child stumped you with this year? What are your parenting resolutions for 2011?

Accompanying an interview with ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas about the motherhood-and-career balancing act, next month's Marie Claire presents a pic of the journalist breast-feeding at the anchor desk. What's the big deal? Vargas never posed for it, meaning it's a Photoshopped photo op. At least she has a sense of humor about it: An insider tells the New York Daily News that the newswoman joked that 1) her real son was way cuter than the tot "she" is providing for in the pic, and 2) if she were to ever sit for such a shot, it wouldn't be in some ugly gold top.

Faced with a cramped, outdated space and increased infection control issues, Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children needed a multi-phase renovation to their emergency department.
The Stantec team undertook an intensive consultation process to understand fully the needs of the staff and families using the facility. Sensitive to these points of view, the team developed both quiet and vibrant waiting areas for teens, nursing mothers, and families with young children. The new waiting areas have interactive games and discovery boxes that children can crawl into and experience views of nature. Features like these give young patients an opportunity to take control and explore in a place where things are otherwise out of their hands.
Our designers carried the discovery box theme from the waiting area through to treatment spaces. Each exam room is a kind of discovery box, with glass doors and brightly colored privacy curtains and back walls. The team chose materials based on safety, durability, and ease of cleaning to address concerns about infection control. Just as important, they considered the physical and emotional comfort of patients, families, and staff throughout their design process.

Feb.23 (GMM/Inautonews.com) Fernando Alonso could spend a second night in hospital, his manager Luis Garcia Abad has admitted.
The Spaniard is currently in a Barcelona hospital after a mysterious crash during the final day of the second 2015 winter test.
The cause of the crash has not been revealed by McLaren, triggering wild theories, including that he received an electric shock from Honda's troublesome KERS or he inhaled toxic fumes from a malfunctioning battery.
As for Alonso's condition, the 33-year-old was reported to have been initially unconscious, and then taken first by ambulance to the circuit medical centre, and later to a nearby hospital for what McLaren called "precautionary" checks.
Jordi Vidal, a trackside photographer, is quoted by Spain's AS newspaper: "Doctors tapped him on the helmet but he did not react. This lasted for about ten minutes."
Vidal captured images of Alonso sliding down the wall with the right side of his MP4-30 at a fairly low speed.
According to Spanish radio Cadena SER, the newspaper cited sources at the General Hospital de Catalunya who said Alonso arrived conscious and talking to doctors.
"We have the result of the CT scan and Alonso is uninjured and fine," a McLaren spokesman confirmed.
Team boss Eric Boullier added: "Fortunately he's fine, but he was concussed during the accident, which therefore required an overnight stay in hospital as a precaution."
The Frenchman also played down some of the wilder circulating rumours about the cause of the crash, with multiple sources confirming that although the crash may not have appeared overly heavy, it did trigger the FIA's 15G impact light.
Other reports, including the Spanish broadcaster Antena 3, indicated on-board data of up to a hefty 30G impact.
According to Italy's Autosprint, Alonso's trainer and assistant Fabrizio Borra admitted the driver had been "agitated" after the crash, causing medical staff to administer sedatives for his trip to hospital.
Alonso's manager Luis Garcia Abad, meanwhile, told Spanish language reporters in Barcelona that claims the driver was unwell when he stepped into the car are not true.
"The hit with the wall caused everything," he insisted.
"He is comfortable and calm, and it was a completely normal situation.
"He is going to be observed in hospital for 24 to 48 hours," he added.
"The important thing is that Fernando has always been conscious."
Asked if Alonso could miss the forthcoming Barcelona test, or the season opener in Melbourne, Abad insisted: "He's ok, I do not think there will be any problems.
"He's fine."

In Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes, we know mosquitoes! And two of my children have very bad reactions to mosquito bites. So after seeing some homemade bug repellant recipes on-line I decided to try making my own in a lotion bar form for my family. If you've never heard of a lotion bar (a pretty new concept to me too!) it just what it sounds like. It looks like a bar of soap and you rub it into your skin where you need extra moisture. The recipes I found used bees-wax too which really helps add protection to the skin as well as moisture. And since you can use whatever essential oils you want in a lotion bar, I thought I'd use the essential oils that will {hopefully} repel mosquitos.
So here's the basic lotion bar recipe: (ANOTHER POSSIBLE CHRISTMAS GIFT!!!! See other Christmas in July posts)
- 1 part beeswax
- 1 part cocoa or shea butter (I used a combo of both)
- 1 part oil (jojoba, sweet almond, avocado, or I used a combo of olive oil and coconut, mostly olive oil)
- Vitamin E gel caps (optional)
- Essential oils (optional)
**To make this lotion bar with bug repelling power using a combination of these essential oils: citronella, lemongrass, cedarwood, lavender
1. Use a scale and weigh equal parts beeswax and cocoa/shea butter. (Definitely go by weight rather than volume!)
2. Use a liquid measuring cup to measure the same amount of oil.
3. On low heat (or using a double boiler) gently melt wax, butter, and oil together.
4. If you're using Vitamin E, poke a hole in a gel cap and squeeze the oil into each mold shape (I used a silicon muffin pan, but you can use candy or soap molds or metal muffin pans too!) Add drops of essential oils in each mold shape too if you want different scents for each bar. If you want one batch of the same scent just stir the essential oils into the melted wax after it's taken off the heat. Pour melted mixture of wax and butters into the mold and stir each one. Let them sit for several hours until cooled and hardened. (You can put in the fridge if you're in a hurry, but don't use the freezer. From what I read it may crack the lotion bars.)
5. To use simply rub the lotion bar on your skin. It might feel a little greasy at first but it will quickly be absorbed.
For my first batch I tried a variety of essential oils…a different combination in each mold opening! I used 3 oz of each: wax, butter, oil and my silicone muffin pan holds six bars.
And now we'll be testing to see if this really keeps the bugs away! There will be plenty of opportunities around here! Check back in and I'll let you know how effective it is! (And if nothing else, at least our skin will be silky smooth!) 😉
Note: You can also make a liquid insect repellant spray with the same essential oils, witch hazel, and water.

Exxon's Silver Lining Has A Cloud
It would be an exaggeration to say that oil company executives don't like high oil prices. But only a small exaggeration. The celebrating is certainly muted in Irving, Tex., where on Jan. 30 Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM ) reported the biggest annual profit in U.S. history: $36 billion. "We don't get excited in the highs and we don't panic in the lows," a spokesman says.
Hard to believe, but oil at more than $60 a barrel creates big headaches for Big Oil. It angers both customers and Congress, which once again is making noises about a windfall profits tax. Shareholders aren't especially grateful, either, seemingly operating on the belief that any idiot could make good money selling oil at the highest prices ever. At around $62, ExxonMobil's share price is no higher than it was last March.
But the biggest problem with costly oil is that it makes it tougher to line up new supplies. Countries that sit on lots of oil -- such as Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Russia, Venezuela, and Nigeria -- drive harder bargains with the supermajors like ExxonMobil when oil prices are high. Oil-rich nations are reluctant to part with irreplaceable natural resources at prices below where they stand now. The Western oil companies want to cut deals on the assumption that oil will drop back to $25 or $30 a barrel. But that's hard to argue when the oil for delivery in December, 2012, is trading at $64.
When the supermajors can't negotiate access to new fields, their production drops. This isn't just hypothetical: The most important fact in ExxonMobil's quarterly earnings report was that oil and natural gas production fell 3.6% in 2005 from 2004, continuing a five-year downtrend. (Excluding onetime factors such as hurricanes, it fell 1%.) If the company can't ramp up output by getting access to new fields, it will be a cash cow slowly going dry. Not a good prospect.
Fortunately for ExxonMobil and for consumers, it appears that its production is indeed rising again. Analyst Daniel L. Barcelo of Banc of America Securities (BAC ) in New York estimates that its output will grow around 5% in 2006, with increased flow from Angola, Nigeria, Azerbaijan, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and Norway.
It's a struggle, though. Big Oil's negotiations over production-sharing deals have gotten seriously sticky. Libya opened itself to foreign investment in December, 2003, after it renounced terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, but it wasn't until last year that it finally came to terms with its erstwhile U.S. partners. The expected price of crude was a big part of the hangup. Exxon has been battling Venezuela, led by leftist Hugo Chávez, who insisted that all foreign oil companies convert their operating contracts into joint ventures with the government. In December, Exxon sold its stake in one Venezuelan oil field rather than meet the country's demands. Even Britain whacked the oil majors last year, increasing taxes on North Sea oil.
Behind the skirmishes is the inescapable fact that countries awash in oil revenue simply don't need the deep-pocketed Western majors as much as they did in 1998, when oil touched $10 a barrel. Meanwhile, today's high prices are attracting competition for deals from smaller rivals, which tend to accept smaller profit margins. And costs are going up along with prices. The new oil is hard to reach or of low quality, like the gunk in Alberta's "tar sands."
Oil is like the bond market in that a price rally, while welcome, creates reinvestment headaches. Bondholders make a killing when bond prices rise, but when the bonds mature they're stuck with a pile of cash that they're forced to reinvest at lower yields. Ditto for oil executives when oil prices rise. ExxonMobil has a hoard of $33 billion in low-yielding cash in spite of paying $7 billion in dividends and buying back $16 billion of shares last year. "It gets harder every year" to put the money to good use, says analyst Jacques Rousseau of Friedman Billings Ramsey. Oil shareholders know what the oil executives have done for them lately. They're asking a tougher question: "What will you do for me next?"

Punk Rocker Shirt
As a student I was tasked with creating a design for an Oxford based T-shirt company. I did some research into iconic Oxford activities and settled on punting. Having punted in the past and seen first hand how unstable a punt is, one of the most anarchic things you could do is to rock it. What else is unruly and anarchistic? Punk Rockers. I do love a good pun.

Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Remco van der Schaaf has been hit with a three-match ban.
Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Remco van der Schaaf has been hit with a three-match ban.
The ban comes following a charge of improper conduct as a result of his behaviour during an Eredivisie game with AZ Alkmaar.
Meanwhile, there was also good news for the Arnhemmers, as Etienne Esajas, Peter van den Berg and Abubakari Yakubu are all back in training.
21-year-old Esajas has begun running again after picking up an ankle injury in a friendly match, van der Berg has been out for six months following a knee injury and has returned to light training, and Yakubu has returned from the African Cup of Nations with Ghana and is available for selection.
Vitesse are enjoying a good season in De Eredivisie, currently ninth in the league table just four points off a Uefa Cup place.

As many of you know, the Internet is an exciting place, full of magic, and wonder, and delight, and a disturbingly large collection of tentacle porn. Thanks to online communities it's also a good place to invent a version of yourself that's better, older, and more interesting.
Last Wednesday afternoon I called Michael Brutsch. He was at the office of the Texas financial services company where he works as a programmer and he was having a bad day. I had just told him, on Gchat, that I had uncovered his identity as the notorious internet troll Violentacrez (pronounced Violent-Acres).
Here is a Goatse license plate from Indiana that a reader spotted in Washington, D.C. yesterday. It was on a Scion, which is appropriate since Scions are the horrid gaping assholes of vehicles. Goatse license plates are nothing new. Here's one from 2005, here's one from 2008, and here's one from just this month.
You can argue all you want about the best this or most popular that, but there's really only one unbiased arbiter of greatness: the Internet. And here's what it has declared as the most important everything-you-care-about.
In August, Keanu Reeves gave his seat in the subway up to some lady with a bag. Now the internet is awash in praise.


text: I have done extensive searches on this subject and found that my problem has they exact same similarites as many other 26 EFI owners.Runs great most of the time but has a hesitation when not under a load then when under a load sputters like its starving for fuel never can recover.I have fouled more plugs than you can shake stick at. My dealer just takes it in lets it run for hours to duplicate cenerio never seem to fix problem.So far they have changed muffler (cracked) new O2 sensor (waited two weeks) this was last fall now its doing it again and my dealer just acts like they have no clue what to do. Personally i think they are trying to run out my warranty. Now that i know there is a serious problem with this engine from my searches i definately feel i am getting the run around from my dealer.Because it is either diagnose the heck out of it for hours or replace numerous parts to solve problem. I am loyal to exmark (entie fleet) and thought i was buying the best mower available (which it is when its running) but this is starting to cost me major money in lost revenue and major frustrations beyond belief.Either exmark or kohler needs to step up to the plate and help me through this with my dealer.Either fix problem right, replace motor, or replace unit because when you spend $9,000 on a Lawn mower and it sits at dealer for days on end somthing has to be done.Lets put it this way, the mower that comes off the back of trailor first right now is ORANGEORANGE (loaner).

As an artist I am available for hire for selected commissions and projects. I'm available for illustration work for publishers as well as product and concept design for manufacturers. All inquiries regarding commissions should be directed to Ash herself via the contact form on the website.
- take private commissions.
- do spec work.
- work for hire.
- work for no pay.
- barter.
- work for "credit". (Please note that "credit" is not a payment. It is a standard requirement of an illustration job.)
- work for promised royalties on self published works.
Ultimately what it comes down to is that I am an artist that likes to work on my own ideas. When I work with manufacturers they are hiring me for my ideas, and my style and they give me guidelines and parameters, but the idea is mine. With a private commission, it's just too personal to the client. The idea I'm executing is theirs and that just doesn't hold any interest for me personally. Also the majority of my commissions were pet portraits and 99% of them memorial portraits. The pressures and emotions associated with painting a deceased loved one as well as handling emotional clients began to take its tole on me. I was honored to be chosen to do something so personal but I was putting myself through something heart wrenching for weeks at a time. I just can't do it anymore. It's nothing against the concept of private commissions or artists who do them. It's simply that I recognize that as an artist, it is just not for me. Thanks for understanding.

Original paper
Exploratory studies on substitutions in the tetrahedrite-tennantite solid solution series Part III. The solubility of bismuth in tetrahedrite-tennantite containing iron and zinc
Klü nder, Maiken Hansen; Karup-Mø ller, Sven; Makovicky, Emil
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie - Monatshefte Jg. 2003 Heft 4 (2003), p. 153 - 175
published: Apr 11, 2003
Bismuth-bearing tetrahedrite and tennanite were synthesized from dry runs in evacuated silica glass tubes at 350 °C, 450 °C and 520 °C, and studied by means of microprobe analyses on polished sections and X-ray powder diffraction. Charges were prepared with two Zn or Fe atoms p.f.u., with pure As, resp. Sb, or with As:Sb = 1:1. They were prepared with one and two atoms of Bi p.f.u., respectively, at all three temperatures. Separate sets of non-stoichiometric compositions were prepared in order to examine the influence of high- and low sulfur fugacity, respectively, on the solubility of Bi in tetrahedrite/tennantite. Our studies suggest that the solubility of Bi in tetrahedrite-tennanite is 0.8 atom p.f.u. at 350 °C and 1 atom p.f.u. at 450 °C and 520 °C, independent of the Sb/As ratio. It increases with the increase in S fugacity and vice versa. The average increment of the cubic lattice parameter a is 0.011Å/l Bi atom p.f.u. for tetrahedrite, that for tennantite is 0.036Å/l Bi atom p.f.u. in the range investigated. The most prominent associated phases studied were Bi-bearing bornite, cuprobismutite, Phase Z, and wittichenite.
synthetic bismuthian tennantite • synthetic bismuthian tetrahedrite • bismuth-bearing • sulphides

Low Rates On Pennsylvania Auto Insurance
The Claims Process pennsylvania auto insurance companies the payment of benefits under no-fault auto insurance requires compliance through the insured with certain conditions concerning notice and evidence of loss. The many statutory instruments which govern Canadian no-fault schemes lay down enough time and way this should be done. Insurers' obligations in regards to properly made claims may also be commonly specified. Where a claim is disputed there can be recourse to arbitration or the courts provided proceedings are commenced inside the relevant limitation period. Needless to say this is true for just about any form of insurance and far with the law concerning the claims process for insurance is applicable to no-fault insurance. The detail of that law is at night scope with this book. Here the main objective is bound to people facets of the method which can be specific to no-fault insurance.
The insured's obligation to notify the insurer with the claim pennsylvania car insurance laws must be carried out in just a specified time from the date with the accident. In Newfoundland, the period is 30 days. In Manitoba and all the other provinces with non-government regimes, it is Thirty days or the moment practicable thereafter; and in Saskatchewan, 15 days or the moment reasonably practicable thereafter. Their state requirement is always that a credit card applicatoin has to be made in the prescribed form within 36 months from the occurrence that establishes the legal right to compensation. In Bc, notice has to be given promptly but, additionally, not after 30 days from the date of the accident the insured must deliver or send by registered mail for the insurer an itemized report with the accident. Under the non-government schemes the notice is needed to maintain writing and only delivered or sent by registered mail towards the chief agency or home office with the insurer inside the province. Low prices are only five minutes away at Carinsuranceinpennsylvania.org!
Failure to comply using this obligation pennsylvania car insurance quote can lead to forfeiture from the claim. However, terms such as promptly so that as soon as practicable enable some flexibility. The claim will be protected when the insured has exercised ordinary diligence inside the circumstances. These circumstances may be the insured wasn't immediately conscious of the seriousness of her injuries. In Grant v. British Pacific Life insurance coverage Co., a case involving an accident and sickness policy, the insured delayed filing notice until following the 90-day period provided in the policy as they thought his disability was temporary. Beneath the policy late filing was permitted if compliance with all the time limit wasn't reasonably possible. The court held that notice ended up filed when reasonably possible. But you can find limits to this flexibility. Learn more here.

Should we discuss psychopathy?
© 2013 NeuroInstincts | All Rights Reserved | No Unauthorized Reproduction Permitted in any form
Some might say that researching and discussing the facts of psychopathy intrudes upon their rights and stigmatizes a group of individuals. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that the symptoms of this disorder is congruent with painful (at the least) and potentially fatal (at worst) consequences to others in society. An individual with strong psychopathic traits can cause harm to their co-workers, company, employees, significant other, children, and strangers.
This condition is unique, as it is one of the only disorders that violates the rights of others, potentially placing their target's life, health, finances, security, innocence, or mental health at extreme risk.
Many researchers and clinicians have decided that it's important to share the information that is known about the condition and the behavior of this population. To not do so would be irresponsible.
Unfortunately, we miss the opportunity to discuss psychopathy each time we have a non-mentally ill perpetrator harm or kill large groups of innocent people. There is a strong possibility that some of those individuals had psychopathic traits. Many leaders in society tend to have the wrong conversation after these tragic events (regardless of political party). Rather than attempting to figure out what type of person would callously hurt strangers, the focus becomes something else entirely. A public discussion regarding psychopathy and its impact on our society is necessary.
Again, one might question:
Does it intrude on the rights of someone with psychopathy to discuss behavioral patterns and research findings with the public?
No. Sharing scientific or educational information is not an intrusion. The very criteria, traits, and behavior of psychopathy are violating and socially dangerous. Hence, we cannot and should not withhold neurobiological, neuropsychological, legal, social, and behavioral findings.
We are fortunate to be at a time where researchers in the area of psychopathy have gathered immense amounts of information regarding this condition. For most of us in this field (clinicians/ researchers/professors), we also feel there is a "pressure to do something with that information." Society provides that pressure as well, by using neuroscience information to better understand certain behaviors – particularly as they relate to criminal behavior/ This information could help protect potential future victims. However, society and leaders have to be ready and receptive to have a conversation about psychopathy.
"If we can predict, then that information causes a pressure to do something with it. It's very hard for us to get information and not do anything with it. But what we do with it has implications that we're really are just beginning to think about." – Geely
