Bellringing mystery with good technical stuff on bellringing and a good unpredictable plot
Review by wendyrey
A clever well written Wimsey story - and a short primer in English change bell ringing. Well worth the re-reading
Review by phoebesmum
We've been having a bit of a Peter Wimsey orgy of late – hey, there are worse ways to spend your time – partly due to getting the boxed set of Ian Carmichael's Wimsey for Christmas, and partly because heck, why not? I went back to this particular title because the Carmichael version devotes the entire first episode to depicting the crime that, whilst being at the heart of the novel, takes place twenty years before. The attempt by the 1970s BBC make-up department to transform Carmichael who, at fiftysomething, was already too old for the role, into a 24-year-old Wimsey on the eve of the Great War really has to be seen to be believed. But I digress.Wimsey and Bunter are stranded in a remote Fenland village in a snowstorm on New Year's Eve. They are rescued by the Rector, who gives them a bed for the night; Wimsey goes some way toward repaying his kindness by standing in for a sick villager to take part in a record-breaking round of bell-ringing. Three months later, the Rector contacts Wimsey in some distress: a disfigured body has been found in the graveyard. Wimsey returns to the village, makes his enquiries, and gets to the heart of the matter – not with entirely happy results or consequences.This is one of Sayers's later Wimseys, and shows her at her full strength as a novelist – and Wimsey at his full strength as a character. That it's a detective story, albeit a far from conventional one, is almost by the way; it's a beautifully detailed portrait of a village community between the Wars, steeped in the mythology of the Church of England, detailed and intricate and unforgettable.
Review by shanaqui
One of my favourites of the Peter Wimsey books, though I have to say that this time I felt that there was something a bit off about the pacing. It felt a little slow in places, and because the 'murdered' man so patently obviously "deserved" it (i.e. is not a sympathetic sort of character: I'm not a fan of the death penalty or revenge killings or anything like that, but you do feel that he "got what was coming to him") it's difficult to feel any urgency about the investigation, especially because you feel -- as Peter does -- that it'd really be best if it could all just be left alone.

Still, the book really got to me in the sense of the Thodays plight, and basically all the upheaval that one bad man caused, over the years, in a small village. And there's the way that when you realise how Deacon died, you do feel pity for him, even though he was a bad man, because it just seems so awful.

No Harriet in this book, and as far as I remember, not even a mention thereof. There is a good helping of Bunter, though.
Review by pgchuis
Peter and Bunter end up in Fenchurch St Paul after Peter drives his car into the ditch in a snow storm. Taken in by the Rector and his wife (the delightful Rev and Mrs Venables), Peter is persuaded to take the place of a sick bell-ringer in a planned nine hour marathon bell ringing session. (Is there nothing he cannot do?) Months later he is asked to help the police out with the case of the handless body found in some one else's grave. The whole case unfolds over months and months with a noticeable lack of urgency, although the story ends with a dramatic flooding disaster.Sadly no Harriet, although Hilary seemed to be a teenage version of her. A bit more of Bunter and, indeed, my favourite moment was Bunter claiming Peter to be his flirtatious chauffeur. I made no attempt to understand the intricacies of bell-ringing and it made no difference. I likewise paid little attention to the pages about drainage on the fens, but maybe I ought to have done! This one was just OK for me - none of the characters really called to me and Peter was just a bit more superficial than in others in the series.The story made clear the role played by a conscientious minister and his wife in their parish at the time of writing and I liked the touch about the Thodays feeling obliged to skip communion, but being able to face matins.

Back in early May, I gave you an in-depth look at rookies for the upcoming NFL season who were selected on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 of the NFL draft. And now I'll tell you why you probably shouldn't draft any of them.
I think most experienced fantasy football players know that it's rare for a rookie NFL player to live up to his pre-draft hype in his first season. After all, in redraft leagues, you aren't drafting a potential-laden prospect's entire career. As high as you think his ceiling might be, that ceiling probably won't come in Year 1. Ah, but then your fantasy draft arrives and you see those bright and shiny new names and something happens in your stomach. The butterflies tell you about "upside" and "opportunity," and you begin to dream big. What if you get the biggest steal of your life! So you hear yourself say the name "Ryan Mathews" circa 2010. Or "Donald Brown" circa 2009. Or "Darren McFadden" circa 2008. And you take your fantasy team's life into your hands.
Six quarterbacks were selected in the first 36 picks of this April's draft, which in a way is good news, because rookie passers rarely fool us these days. As laudable as Sam Bradford's rookie campaign was in '10 (he set the record for pass attempts and completions by a first-year player), he still only finished as fantasy's No. 20 quarterback. In the past five seasons, Bradford ('10), Matt Ryan ('08) and Vince Young ('06) were clearly the best-performing rookie fantasy signal-callers but were barely worth owning -- and certainly weren't worth starting -- in 10-team leagues. None of them finished higher than 12th among fantasy quarterbacks. (Young was 12th in '06, while Ryan was 15th in '08.) So while you might believe in the fantasy futures of Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick, you shouldn't be planning on drafting them this summer.
But there are other temptations. A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Jonathan Baldwin are all first-round wideouts. Mark Ingram is a first-round runner. Ryan Williams, Kyle Rudolph, Titus Young, Lance Kendricks, Shane Vereen, Mikel Leshoure, Torrey Smith, Greg Little, Daniel Thomas and Randall Cobb are all skill-position players taken in the second round. These 14 men have basically unlimited talent. Some of them will eventually be stars. But I'll be entering my drafts in August planning on not owning any of them. Here's why.
First- and second-round disappointments
By season's end last year, exactly six rookies wound up with positive values in terms of value-based drafting. (Note that throughout this column, when I refer to "VBD points," I'm referring to standard 10-team ESPN.com leagues.) An examination of those players hints at an overall performance problem for the most highly drafted NFL rookies in recent years:
Notable 2010 rookies
Notice anything odd? Two of these skill-position players were drafted in the first round of the '10 NFL draft. One was drafted in the second. But last year's best rookie was a fourth-rounder, and two others were completely undrafted. Meanwhile, as a group the skill players who were taken in the first round of last year's NFL draft performed, shall we say, inconsistently:
2010 first-round skill-position players
Zoinks. Injuries, depth-chart issues and flat-out bad play zapped six out of last year's eight skill-position first-rounders. Plus, Mathews and Best owners can attest that watching those two guys hobble around during their rookie seasons wasn't always much fun. Look over the past five years, and you see a woeful record of first- and second-round picks striking it rich for their fantasy owners in their first campaigns:
That is a mournful and bedraggled 32 percent hit rate on first-round rookies and a 12 percent hit rate on second-rounders. Even if we remove quarterbacks and tight ends from the equation out of pure charity (based on the notion that they rarely strike it big right away), the remaining running backs and wide receivers hit only 44 percent in the first round and 14 percent in the second.
Translation: Even if you stick to selecting only super highly drafted rushers and receivers, you're likelier to draft a guy who won't help you at all.
Rookie studs ain't what they used to be
Maybe it would be easier to take this risk -- to select a highly touted rookie running back or wideout early in your fantasy draft -- if the reward were higher. But '09 and '10 were fairly terrible seasons for top-end rookie production. Here are the top 10 VBD rookie seasons of the past five years; note that only one hails from '09 or '10:
Top 10 Rookie VBD seasons, 2006-10
I find it fairly amazing that not a single rookie rusher over the past two seasons has finished higher than 18th in fantasy points, especially when guys like Peterson and Forte recently submitted such landscape-altering first campaigns.
Is this a trend? I don't think we can say for sure. On the one hand, it's a small sample size. High-profile first-year busts like C.J. Spiller and Donald Brown skew the results in a major way. By the same token, the continued rise of committees may be taking the steam out of potential rookie breakouts. Were the Chargers really willing to give Ryan Mathews their lead role last year, or was Mike Tolbert always going to be a fantasy drain? (The point became moot when Mathews hurt an ankle early in the season.) When the Bills drafted Spiller, it was fairly obvious they had a committee in mind at least at first, considering both Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch were still on the roster. No question, potential committees have to be taken on a case-by-case basis, but they're an obvious factor.
A couple of other points about rookie studs. First, as the above list illustrates, wideouts rarely make a huge fantasy difference in their first seasons. Yes, it's possible for a rookie wideout to notch positive-VBD seasons (nine have done so in the past five years: Mike Williams (TB), Marques Colston, Percy Harvin, Eddie Royal, Dwayne Bowe, DeSean Jackson, Hakeem Nicks, Mike Wallace and Austin Collie), but even then the rewards are middling: Only three of these guys finished among the top 20 WRs overall (Williams, Colston and Royal). This is sobering news. When ESPN Fantasy did its rankings summit in early May, we held a corresponding chat event, and perhaps the most asked-about player that entire day was Falcons rookie WR Julio Jones. The man has backers galore among the public. They're almost certainly going to be disappointed.
Also, while we all love stories about Tom Brady getting drafted in the sixth round or Ahmad Bradshaw getting drafted in the seventh, those future fantasy stars didn't do much in their first seasons, and lightly-drafted (or undrafted) NFL rookies rarely do. Here's the sum total of rookies from '06 to '10 who were taken outside the first two rounds of the NFL draft and posted a positive VBD total:
Top lower-drafted rookies, 2006-10
Translation: The returns on reaching for rookies have been exceptionally meager the past two years. If you must reach, don't do it for QBs, WRs or TEs. And forget about dipping out of the first round or two. Let those guys come to you as fantasy free agents.
Rookies often lose platoons
Finally, a word about a "crutch argument" you often hear when it comes to rookies: "He's going to play. They wouldn't have drafted him that high if they weren't going to use him." Sometimes this is true, but absolutely not always. If you're falling prey to this argument on a generic basis, you're simply looking for reasons to draft a player higher than you probably should.
We already know quarterbacks don't subscribe to this logic. Only three rookie QBs the past five years have played 16 games (Bradford, Ryan and Flacco), while two others have played 15 (Sanchez and Young). For WRs it's a bit less clear; you sometimes see players like Mike Williams, Royal or Colston, who number among the league leaders in targets right away, but then you get guys like Calvin Johnson (rookie stats: 15 games, 48 catches, 4 TDs), Kenny Britt (16 games, 42 catches, 2 TDs) or -- heaven forfend! -- Darrius Heyward-Bey (11 games, 9 catches, 1 TD), who have a hard time breaking into the rotation.
However, this crutch argument is most frequently used to address running backs. These days, it seems it's no longer taboo for NFL teams who already have quasi-serviceable rushers to draft another man at the same position, and it's for these rookie RBs we often reach. "Well, if they liked the incumbent so much," we reason, "they wouldn't have spent a first-round pick on his potential replacement!" That logic probably is true if you imagine a two- or three-year window. But when you're considering only a rusher's rookie year, it's often not. Here are 13 situations over the past five years where an incoming first-round running back had to battle at least one veteran for touches:
First-round RBs with real competition, 2006-10
Peterson and Johnson did exceedingly well here, which is unsurprising considering what we know about them now. Bush basically lost his rushing battle to McAllister but caught 88 passes and thus submitted a strong first season. Best won his battle by default, as Kevin Smith was injured. Jones and Mendenhall got hurt early. But boy, there sure are some mediocre seasons mixed in here, aren't there? And some shockingly low usage. Even removing Jones and Mendenhall, this group averaged 189 total touches in its first campaign. Last season, 189 touches would've ranked 31st among NFL RBs. Truly, that's not a recipe for fantasy studhood.
Translation: No rookie is guaranteed playing time just because he gets drafted early.

World's Biggest Server Maker, HP, Reportedly Prepares ARM-Based Servers
Jason Mick
October 28, 2011 11:09 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
HP is turning to an obscure ARM chipmaker to provide its CPUs
A report
is shaking up the CPU market this morning. The news agency cites two sources close to hardware giant Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) as indicating that the company was close to releasing servers powered by ARM-architecture CPUs. The move would be a blow to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (
), a minority player in the market, but would be most painful to Intel Corp. (
) the world's largest maker of server CPUs.
I. HP to Become First Big ARM Server Seller?
SERVERS are the racked computers that power the internet, business networks, and the mobile devices services we all know and love. HP is in a statistical dead heat [
] with International Business Machines, Inc. (
) for the global lead in server revenue, so its moves are carefully scrutinized.
Server CPUs represent a $9B USD market. When it comes to the architecture used, it typically depends on the kind of server. Mission critical servers are a quirky lot, home to Intel Corp.'s (
non-x86 Itanium architecture chips
, and other seldom seen architectures. But when it comes to your vanilla standard work servers, almost all use x86 designs from Intel (Xeon CPUs) or AMD (Opteron CPUs).
Intel is the world's biggest server CPU maker. [Source: Network.in]
If HP indeed embraces ARM, it would be the first of the server heavyweights to support the rival architecture. It reportedly is planning to use a startup named Calxeda, Inc. Calxeda launched in 2008 and is based in Austin, Texas. It is partially owned by the UK-based ARM Holdings Plc. (
), the firm which designs the base ARM architectures and licenses them to third-party chipmakers for customization.
Some ARM architecture chips are becoming familiar names to mobile device fans. ARM designs like NVIDIA Corp.'s (
) Tegra and Qualcomm, Inc.'s (
) Snapdragon power virtually all smartphones and tablets.
Calxeda isn't exactly a household name, though, as it's focused on developing server CPUs and does not make mobile device chips. Calxeda hopes to apply the same advantage that ARM has in the mobie space -- power efficiency -- to server space designs. In fact, the
company's profile
says its flagship design draws only 5 watts of power.
II. Can ARM Best Intel in Server Power Consumption?
ARM Vice President Michael Inglis last week suggested that ARM could make serious inroads into the server market, commenting, "One of the biggest issues today in the server farms is power management. As we move forward into 2014 you'll begin to see [ARM server] systems emerging."
With companies like Google and Facebook resorting to extremes [
] to cut their hundreds of millions of dollars in server power costs, ARM may be a tempting alternative. Assuming ARM server chips are equivalently functional from an I/O and memory perspective, the success or failure will basically boil down to their power consumption per unit processing -- flops per watt.
Power efficient ARM CPUs have a near-complete monopoly on the tablet and smart phone market. Can they replicate this success in the server market and displace an entrenched Intel? [Sources: SkyTV (left); Tech Genie (right)]
Ultimately it's unknown exactly how well these designs will do, because of two factors. First, ARM servers chip designs are just starting to hit the market. Second, Intel is preparing to launch its first Ivy Bridge CPUs,
which come with 3D transistors
. Intel promises this innovation on the 22 nm node will dramatically slash power. The pressing question is whether it will be enough to meet or beat architectural advantages of the low-power ARM CPUs. Intel told us it would at Intel Developer Forum, but obviously that's a partisan statement.
Servers chips are the fastest growing part of Intel's business, rising 35 percent last year, versus 21 percent for personal computer chips. Approximately 19 percent of Intel's revenue comes from HP, its biggest single customer. Now Intel finds itself playing the same game it's playing in the laptop market --
trying to keep ARM locked out
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Secure, healthy landscapes are essential to the future of both wildlife and people.
The Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCPO LCC) is you - everyone in the region who cares about our diverse natural and cultural resources. Together we are working to ensure a sustainable future for our 180-million acre region by:
- Developing an Integrated Science Agenda that defines Desired Ecological States for 9 major habitat systems.
- Conducting Ecological Assessments to show the current status of those 9 habitat systems.
- Designing a Conservation Blueprint - a network of lands and waters that incorporates anticipated future changes and which can be managed, protected, or restored to achieve the goal of sustainability.
The GCPO Conservation Blueprint 1.0 will define a habitat conservation network to be incorporated into a larger network inclusive of the Southeast U.S. and Caribbean. This larger effort is known as the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy.
The "Cake" Analogy
A simple way of viewing the interrelationship between the 3 elements listed above is this:
The Integrated Science Agenda is the "recipe" that tells us what sustainability means. It essentially defines what a healthy, sustainable ecosystem would look like: the amount, configuration, and condition of each habitat type.
The Ecological Assessments are the "ingredients" that represent our current knowledge base. Each ingredient represents one end point that characterizes a healthy habitat, such as the amount of remaining salt marsh, the extent to which forest patches are connected, or the quality of water in a river. The Ecological Assessments for each system include multiple "ingredients," which are actually sophisticated analyses that combine multiple datasets to show what we know about the current landscape.
The draft Blueprint is the "cake." It shows what we have when we combine all the ingredients. Just as a baking a cake transforms the ingredients into something new and different, the landscape conservation design process transforms the Ecological Assessment ingredients by applying a series of decision rulesets to answer the following questions:
- How much do we have?
- How much more do we need?
- Where are we currently investing, and where should we invest resources in the future to get more?
- What do we need to do there?
- How do we incorporate and ensure the needs of species are met?
- How should we plan for predicted change across the landscape?
The Conservation Blueprint & the Conservation Community
The Conservation Blueprint is not only a product, but also a process.
To be effective, the Blueprint must be a transparent, replicable, and defensible approach, bringing the best available science to bear on conservation decisions.
That's where you come in. The Blueprint is being constructed by staff and the Adaptation Science Management Team, with input from the Partnership Advisory Council and leaders from the State Wildlife Action Plans, as well as people like you.
Blueprint Workshops
A series of Blueprint workshops are being held throughout the Gulf Coastal Plains & Ozarks geography in 2016, to elicit the input, knowledge, and expertise of many additional conservation partners.
In addition, you can now provide comments via the Conservation Planning Atlas:
(1) Click on the habitat system maps below.
(2) Sign up if you are not already a member (or sign in if you are).
(3) Open the map and use the "comment" tab on the left hand side to provide your input.

In three weeks I'll have a baby. Less I hope. I wish that any day now I'll go into labor. But I have a feeling this little guy is going to stay until week 40.
We find out Monday if I'm getting any closer to going into labor. My guess will be no.
But I made it to week 37, which is full term! Celebrate! I won't be having a premature baby! I also made it to my Baby Shower, which was Sunday. It was WONDERFUL!!!!!! Many of my friends haven't even seen the new house yet, so it was fun getting to show it. The food was amazing and we got HOOKED UP with gear for Baby Boy.
I LOVE the door wreaths that my sister made! Plus, they're multi-purpose. I'll have to take them apart (sad face) but then I've got diapers to use! And cute letters! One of my friends said she walked up and saw the "J N" and thought, "why would they make wreaths for Jennifer Neal? That's strange." Then it occurred to her that it was for Jack Neal! Yeah, we're going to have the same initials! Possibly even all three of the same initials if we use a middle name that begins with "E"! =)
Y'all the food was divine. So much of it was carb-friendly too, so I didn't have to feel guilty indulging at my own shower! It was all so beautifully arranged on our dining room table, too. So beautiful!
It was so much fun seeing friends and family. And of course, opening gifts was a real treat. Jack is already so loved and we're good to go on clothing and taking care of him!
You can see the whole album here on our family Flickr page.
I thank everyone for coming and "sprinkling" us with goodies! What a blessing!
Once everyone left, Harper got home and was quite perplexed. She wanted to know why the family room didn't have any of her toys cluttering the space. And why the living room was full of gift bags. I tried explaining everything to her. But she didn't listen. Instead she sat at her table and just thought it all over.
Look at that hair! It's getting so long. And darker. AND CURLY. Last Thursday we went outside to play after school and I caught her playing in the mud. That wasn't the part that I got tickled at. It was her hair, blowing crazy in the wind.
I think that picture is so precious. My sweet girl. We were having a good time on the slide and then I looked up and she had gotten really quiet. I knew what that meant. She was into mischief.
Yep, over in the yard, digging in the mud.
I can't stop her. It's just too cute. Plus, I remember being the same way. Mud is fun to play in! It's also really fun to clean up, too.
The next day I dug out her box of dress-up garb. It lasted 35 seconds, then she was over it. One day I know she'll love dress-up time.
(apparently the wand looks like a fly-swatter to her, because she says "shoo fly!" and sorry for the LOUD email notification during the video. I jump every time I watch it.)
We spent the whole day Saturday getting the house cleaned for the shower. A BIG THANKS goes out to my Mom and Geoffrey's mom for helping! Between them and Geoffrey, the house looked spotless!
We went out to eat that night to avoid making any more messes. And Sunday after church we went out again! We went to Cracker Barrel, an after church favorite. Harper checked all the rockers to ensure that they worked. Then she stacked all the checker pieces. I ate too much and my blood sugar was too high. I don't know what Geoffrey did. Any meal out these days is an adventure for all.
This week we've had lots of fun with our learning activities.
Monday was an ABC puzzle.
Tuesday we made an art piece using a toilet paper roll squished into a heart stamp.
Wednesday we worked on Critical Thinking, matching colored dots on sticks to their picture. This was super tough. First it was all on a piece of paper and that was too difficult, so I cut them out. Also difficult. We'll try again later!
Thursday we worked on sorting colors using a set I found on Amazon. She LOVED this and did really well. She still struggles to identify the name "orange" and gets pink & red confused, but all this practice is helping, because green used to be a problem, but she's got it now!
Today on Fine Motor Friday, we worked on lacing again. She always loves this one, and it's a good skill to practice! This time we used animal lacing frames.
The nursery is ready, my bags are packed, the infant carseat is installed in my car. I'm ready. So I've spent my time this week planning and organizing Learning Activities. I put the ideas in binders several weeks ago and this has really come in handy when I'm planning what Harper and I will be doing for the week. I add to them as I find ideas and materials.
This week I got tubs and sorted all the materials. They're now safely tucked under my desk, ready to roll! They've been piled up in the office closet for 2 months and that makes it hard to get to! So I love having them all boxed up and separated into skill.
I also printed a calendar and have been working on planning activities for the whole year. I know! I'm crazy! But I anticipate my priorities and time changing once another kid enters this house. And I don't want this learning time to fall by the wayside. It's so important for her (and me too) and I'm using my "free time" now to get ready! It's a huge relief and I know I'll be glad I did it. Now when it's time to sit at the table and do an activity together, I've got it all planned out and ready to roll. BOOM!
Well, time waits for no man, and I've got more to do around here, so I best finish this post. But before I go, let's all take a moment to pause and celebrate a big milestone for my Camry. We rolled 100,000 miles this week! And she's still going strong! (knock on wood). When I glanced down and saw all the zeros, I nearly fainted. Which would have been quite unfortunate since I was driving. I snapped a pic (yes, while driving, get over it) to capture the milestone. I've had this car for 8 years this April, and I still love it. I'm about to bring home another baby in it and I couldn't be happier. I know its time of usefulness will soon fade, but until then, I'm driving it till the wheels fall off!
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
Until next time! =)

The idea is that a business owner is attempting to make his business more attractive to customers by using music. That makes them responsible for the fee.The law says all who participate in, or are responsible for, performances of music are legally responsible. Since it is the business owner who obtains the ultimate benefit from the performance, it is the business owner who obtains the license. Music license fees are one of the many costs of doing business.

I'm 21 years old I've been sexually active since I can remember, and never was interested in getting or giving a blowjob. But now, I want to but don't know how to give oral sex in a way I know he will ejaculate. So I just open my mouth and then what?...
Are we really too young for unprotected sex?
Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 3 months and everyone tells me that we should not be having sex! Especially unprotected! Am I really too young to be having sex and unprotected at that? (I'm 16 years old.)...
I don't want to give a guy oral sex...but maybe I do?
I come here quite often to browse and get information I need, and now I need some advice. Since I was 13 and started dating and getting more intimate I decided I didn't want to go down on a guy. I had quite a few reasons for it and on top of it I just found it abnormal. Well now I'm 15 and have been in a relationship for quite some time now....
What is foreplay?
I hear people talking about foreplay and pretended like I knew but I have never really understood what it was. Can you help?...
Laugh it up!
I have been thinking about having sex with my boyfriend, and we both have talked and know that we feel ready for it. However, when I think about during the first time; I laugh. I mean not laughing at him; but because of the inexperience of it all, and the adrenaline rush. Of course, I will tell him its not him, but the situation....
What are some of the benefits of having sex?
I hear a lot about the negative side of sex and bad things that could happen from having sex. What are some of the benefits of having sex? What are some of the positive outcomes that would/could result in having sex with my boyfriend?...
I'm ready, but I can't figure out if she is.
Me and my girlfriend are virgins and are 16. We have been dating for about ten months and are getting curious about sex. She asked if I was ready and I told her I don't know because she's not sure and I'm not sure what to do. She will say that she wants to but turn around and say no. I just don't want her to lose her virginity and regret everything else that we do for the first time....
I'm not sure if I want the pill or not!
I'm really torn on what to do. I'm a 17 year old, sexually active girl and I've been thinking about getting on the pill. My boyfriend and I use condoms every single time, but he wanted me to get on the pill because he says it feels better without one and also because pregnancy is something we both don't want....
Where can we get some dance lessons?
I've had sex with my boyfriend for the first time a few months ago, and we've been having problems with positions. I like when he's on top, but he has trouble holding himself up for a long amount of time because he's heavy and doesn't want to hurt me. However, I've been having trouble being on top because I can't seem to find a rhythm, and I find it hard to get the up down motion....
I'm shy, and I'm worried he'll leave me because of it.
Hey, I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 18. We've been dating for around 5 months now and I'm really afraid I'm going to lose him. He has been trying to finger me lately and right before I reach my climax I chicken out and tell him to stop. I think it's just because I'm really self conscious and scared of what he'll think of me....

Corning raw meat in salt brine is a time-honored method of preserving meats. Corned beef is preserved this way. The procedure is not too difficult, but it takes about three weeks to accomplish the task. Here is how to make corned beef.
Place the beef brisket in a large crock.
Dissolve the saltpeter in warm water and then add the sugar, minced cloves, pickling spice and paprika to the saltpeter mixture.
Add 3/4 cup salt in 2 quarts water, then add the other mixture and stir well. Pour this over the meat in the crock. Be sure the meat is totally covered with the liquid.
Cover the crock and refrigerate for 3 weeks. Turn the meat once or twice each week.
Take out the meat at the end of the third week and soak it in several changes of fresh cold water to remove the excess salt.
Soak the meat a final time in clean, fresh water for 24 hours in the refrigerator. An alternative to this is to boil the marinated meat in water to remove the excess salt.
Prepare and cook the corned beef using your favorite recipe.
Things you need
- 8 to 10 pounds of good quality beef brisket
- 1/4 tsp. saltpeter
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. mixed pickling spices
- 3/4 cup salt
- 2 quarts water

Florida Takes Action To Raise Education Standards
June 21, 1999
Florida's Republican Gov. Jeb Bush is enthusiastic over the "Bush-Brogan A+ Plan for Education," which he is expected to sign into law today.
Here is a brief outline of some of the plan's provisions:
- To assess learning progress, students in grades three through 10 will be tested annually and the results sent to parents.
- Remediation efforts will replace "social promotions" and the state will rank every public school on an A to F scale, based primarily on how students are learning.
- Schools that move up a grade and schools that receive an A will get a bonus of $100 per student.
- Schools that receive a D or F grade will receive state and local assistance aimed at turning them around quickly.
If a school receives an F for two years, children in that school would receive a scholarship allowing them to attend another school of their choice -- public, private or parochial.
The threat of these scholarship vouchers has reportedly motivated public school personnel to pay greater attention to lagging schools and take steps to improve them.

milgard vinyl window (1993 edition)

I have a broken balance spring . The window has no take out clips.
Is a special tool required? Any help is appreciated.

picture of my 1993 edition milgard vinyl window. Hopefully your able to see, "no take out clips"
Tom from SWISCO responded:
July 22, 2016
Is your sash a tilt in? Please also send a photo of the track near the top. Your photo came just short of the top.
A quick learner from oregon says:
July 22, 2016
No sir. Makes cleaning no fun. I've attached the picture that you requested
Paul from SWISCO responded:
July 27, 2016
Hmm... I'm not sure exactly what to recommend without seeing the original balance. The hole near the top doesn't look like it's made for a take out clip, at least not any that I'm familiar with. Do you have an identical window in the house that may still have its balances? If so, could I see them out of the window?

Mog the cat returns in Sainsbury's Christmas advert - in CGI
Disaster-prone Mog the cat has been resurrected for Sainsburys' Christmas advert.
The much-loved children's book character Mog is the star of the supermarket's Christmas campaign set to up the stakes in the battle for hearts and spending while raising money for child literacy.
The ad - stretching to an epic three minutes and 30 seconds - features the calamitous cat in a brand new Christmas tale written by the author of the original series Judith Kerr, who even makes a cameo appearance.
Kerr, 92, who has sold more than nine million copies of her Mog books and The Tiger Who Came To Tea, sends the beleaguered cat into the midst of chaos when the oven catches fire in the middle of the night.
But in a twist that will be familiar to readers of the original stories, Mog inadvertently calls the fire service and saves the house in time for the neighbourhood to come together to help the family clean up and enjoy Christmas dinner.
The new book, Mog's Christmas Calamity, is on sale exclusively in Sainsbury's stores for £3 alongside a £10 soft toy.
The supermarket, Kerr and publisher HarperCollins are donating all profits to the Save the Children-led Read On. Get On campaign that aims to help every child become a confident reader by the age of 11.
Kerr, who was awarded an OBE in 2012 for services to children's literature and holocaust education, said: "I have enjoyed illustrating Mog again after so many years and am thrilled that this special Christmas story will help raise funds for Save the Children and the important work they do for children's literacy."
Mark Given, director of planning and propositions at Sainsbury's, said: "This year, we're proud to be working with renowned children's author Judith Kerr to create a magical new Mog story to be enjoyed by parents and children and to support the important cause of helping Save the Children to improve child literacy in the UK."
Save the Children executive director of marketing, fundraising and communications, Tanya Steele, said: "We are delighted to be a part of this year's Christmas campaign for Sainsbury's and so grateful for the spotlight that it places on the issue of child literacy in the UK.
"Thanks to the support of everyone involved in this campaign, we will be able to give more UK children - particularly those children from the poorest families - the essential early language skills they need to succeed in life."
Last year Sainsbury's, which always waits until after Armistice Day to release its Christmas campaign, partnered with armed forces charity the Royal British Legion for an ad based on Christmas Day 1914 when British and German soldiers laid down their weapons and met on neutral territory.

Team building is commonly referred to as recruitment of certain individuals who will collectively work towards achieving a specific set of tasks and projects. But the actual interpretation of this concept is way different. In actual terms it is referred to as a set of activities undertaken by an organization towards development of social interactions and communication within teams as well as other work groups. It mostly involves collective activities which can be related to the work or sometimes fun and creative activities as well. It is a type of training that improves the functionality and efficiency of a team to a significant level. The importance of this approach is as follows.
- The activities conducted under team building initiative primarily helps in improving the communication levels between individuals within work groups as well as other teams' members. This improves the work environment to a great extent by making the work culture friendly and informative at the same time.
- As per research it has been observed that people tend to generate more creative ideas and contribute proactively within work environment when they are comfortable among their team members. Hence team building activities are a direct contributor towards generation of innovation and creativity.
- It motivates people towards building up the team spirit which increase the fun of work and celebration of a successful project.
- It generates a healthy competitive environment where in people strive for the best in a way that show cases their talent and contribution that becomes the source of others inspiration as well.
- It helps in indentifying the strengths and weaknesses within a team. In this way it aids in striking the right balance of skill sets that is essential towards project management and boosting the performance of the team as a whole. It is a direct contributor of productivity increase and performance enhancement.
- Channelizing information within team members increase the flow of information and facilitates knowledge sharing that helps in better management. Team building is a positive initiative towards building this approach.
With this, it is essential to keep certain elements in mind while conducting team building activities.
- Even before deciding on the team building activities, the objectives should be clearly laid out for the same. There should be clear indicators and bench marks for this type of approach. A leader role should also be nominated beforehand so that, he or she can supervise the entire process systematically.
- Commitment is an essential element in this regard. One should understand that this initiative is not for personal rewards and benefits only. It is rather a team approach to gain insight and rewards collectively.
- Communication as mentioned earlier is the key to success in team building initiative. The participating individuals should have the clear understanding of the initiative, its purpose and end result in order to gain desirable results.
- Lastly, rewards and appreciation is essential in this case. It helps in building up the confidence, urge to perform and give the best.

Cabinet Bar and Balcony
Nestled above the hustle and bustle of Swanston Street is the very modest Cabinet Bar. You could easily walk past it on your daily commute to work, but it's become the go-to spot for workers treating themselves to a drink after a long day.
The bar flaunts a wide selection of drinks but loves to showcase its cocktails the most, which feel like an essential as you soak up the rare afternoon Melbourne sun. A refreshing bar jar such as the Shaun Roberts that teases flavours of ginger and fresh fruit might be your thirst quencher of choice, or if you're looking for a sweeter and more flirty drink, their bright and sweet rosé sangria is what you'll see patrons sipping on. What makes this place even more unbelievable is its colourful food menu that proves to be good competition with even the most indulgent cocktail.
The bar offers specials such as Macho Nacho Mondays which gets you a pot and a plate of beef nachos with spicy Mexican beans piled to a mountainous level (in the best way possible) for $10. If you're looking to share, the flatbread selection packed with fresh ingredients is sure to have other patrons eyeing off your table in envy. The chicken club with crispy bacon, cos lettuce and aioli is a house favourite, and with very good reason.
Elsewhere, try their delicious pan fried saganaki perfectly matched with lemon or the Caribbean spiced chicken served with yoghurt for a well balanced flavour. Capping it off their mini chocolate fondue with strawberries, marshmallow and croissant is an enticingly indulgent desert to end the evening on a high note.
If the balcony vibe isn't for you, nestle into an intimate corner of the bar and enjoy the warm, candle-lit atmosphere of the venue as the sun goes down. Summer is fast approaching and what better way to spend it with good food, friends and a glass of bubbly at Cabinet Bar and Balcony. You'd be hard pressed to find a better option for ballin' on a budget – particularly at a price that won't break the bank.

Cooking up a Perfect Solution
Ah it's Friday evening and I have a smile on my face. I got my grade back tonight on my project from Family and Consumer Science that Katherine helped me with and I/we got a 110!! (10 points were awarded for projects handed in ahead of the deadline) Yup by now you've certainly noticed my sarcasm. I do tend to have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor.
I wonder however how many of you have faced my very same situation.
Katherine is in what they call a "self-contained" classroom. Basically the majority of her day is in with other children who have similar classifications. However, one time a day she goes out for what our schools call connections classes. These are what in my day (yes I'm old) were called electives – music, art, typing, accounting, theater, home economics, wood shop etc. Some of Katherine's other classmates have taken these classes for some time and she has been dying to join them. As her behaviors have improved and she's stabilized some we decided it might not be a bad idea to give her the opportunity.
These classes are mainstream classes. Katherine has an aide who goes with her. Her connections class for the first part of the year was art and it was a smashing success. Katherine loved the class, did well with a variety of lessons (with aide assistance at certain parts) and felt incredibly successful! Who could ask for more right? Well each connections class lasts 2 marking periods (⅓ of the school year) so we needed to move to another class. Well, given the success of the first one I was open to that and when Katherine told me she wanted cooking I thought well heck that's a good skill for her work on, let's do it! Family and Consumer Science (FACS) here we come!
Overall I think the class has been ok. Then we get this assignment. It's a family dinner project that the entire 8th grade FACS class got. I guess that's where the problem comes in. It's the EXACT same assignment that all the mainstream 8th graders are being expected to complete given to a child under an IEP (Individual Education Plan) with the functionality of a 2nd -3rd grader.
In different situations I have approached this type of situation in different manners. In the past, I have gone to some teachers and discussed how we could accommodate Katherine specifically according to her IEP. If most of it was within her range I might just do a small part because it wasn't worth the whole go around to get an accommodation on one tiny piece. As she has been completely in self-contained classrooms the past few years, it's just hasn't been an issue. Obviously, now that she's doing mainstream classes it's an issue again. Because she's aged it's a bigger issue now.
The differences in Katherine's academic abilities from her chronological peers becomes more disparate as they age. Certainly they become more apparent as she ages. The challenge becomes how much do I go after and how much do I just cave and do. Because of some other personal factors I just caved on this project. I don't necessarily feel good about it (as proud as I am of the grade – never did that when *I* was in school) because I think that the school has a responsibility to make these projects accessible.
In my opinion, this project would have easily been modified to accommodate Katherine and her particular needs while still having her complete the primary objectives within this project. Should I have spoken up to the teacher? Maybe. It seems certain to me that looking at the finished product the teacher could in no way believe that Katherine was responsible for at least ¼ of the required pieces of this assignment.
I know some people will read this and suggest that I'm just whining because I didn't want to help Katherine with the project. On the contrary, I want Katherine to do the project like everyone else. However the reality is that the project was based upon skills an 8th grader had. I just wanted the project to be based on skills Katherine possessed.
Katherine made the dinner (with assistance as there were physical issues and safety issues to assist with) and set the table and as the project directed we all rated her performance on cooking and table setting and the outcome of the meal. We took pictures of her shopping for the ingredients, cooking and cleaning as well as her beautiful table setting. I am very proud of the incredible effort this took for her on all levels. She worked incredibly hard – physically and mentally. And I might add made a lovely meal for 5 of us (Grandpa ate with us at her behest)
However, Katherine is not capable of figuring out the cost per person of the meal she fixed. The instructions called for her to figure out the cost of the ingredients she used, meaning if she only used 1 teaspoon of something out of an entire container what was the cost of that. So not only would she have to figure out how many teaspoons were in a given container but then what the cost per teaspoon was – HECK took me a bit to figure it all out and I have a high school diploma. I can't imagine the teacher actually believes she calculated these things.
In any event, because of stuff going on here at home I decided that I just didn't have the energy to go up against the powers that be on this project and I did the parts that Katherine wasn't possibly capable of and assisted where necessary on the other parts. The core pieces of this project she did to the best of her ability and I think performed admirably!
Maybe I should have addressed this with the school. Maybe it wasn't worth the effort. I sometimes feel I need to pick my battles with the school just like I pick my battles at home.
The reality is there was probably no "right" answer to this but I wonder how you all would have handled this? Would you have just helped with the parts that your child couldn't complete. Would you have gone into school and dealt with the teacher on this? Would you have another solution altogether? I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts.

This end of year appeal for support comes a little later than usual because I (J. Hughes) was rocked by the recent Sandy Hook school shooting, about 25 miles from my office at Trinity College. As a social scientist and public policy person I try to keep my eye on the big picture, the tens of thousands of people who are killed every day by violence, treatable disease, poverty and inadequate infrastructure. I try not to let my proximity to some tragedies distract from the larger and more persistent needs of the world. But as a parent and someone with many small connections to Sandy Hook I was left stunned and tearful for days. And angry that the balance of forces in American politics has prevented us from having the simple and effective public policies around guns and mental health that have kept the incidence of gun violence and mass killings lower in other industrialized countries.
When we started the IEET seven years ago it was our goal to bring futurists and techno-optimists to the struggle for sane public policies. We have worked to reach out to academe, policy makers and the public to inform progressive social movements about the threats and promises of emerging technologies. Advocates of both gun control and arms control need to be thinking about how we can keep automatic weapons and weapons of mass destruction from proliferating in a world with ubiquitous desktop manufacturing. Advocates of improved mental health screening and treatment need to be thinking about how genetic testing and brain fingerprinting will be used to identify potential psychopaths, and how psychopharmaceuticals and brain prosthetics will be used to treat them. How much cognitive liberty will we need to give up to obligatory moral enhancement in a world where individuals can wreak mass havoc with readily accessible weapons?
Directly addressing that question, in March of 2012 we held a day-long seminar on moral enhancement at New York University as part of a co-sponsored meeting on the Moral Brain. We conferred with leaders in moral neurology like Paul Bloom, Molly Crockett, Josh Greene, Jon Haidt and Josh Knobe about whether our new insights into the role of chemicals like oxytocin, or syndromes like autism, were giving us ways to treat psychopathy and enhance ordinary moral cognition.
A couple months before that meeting Hank Pellissier joined us as Managing Director with a fresh, Bay area, Web 3.0 approach to increasing the visibility of the IEET's work. Over the last year Hank recruited dozens of new writers and thinkers, such as Dick Pelletier, Piero Scaruffi, Evan Selinger, Rachel Armstrong and Valerie Tarico, and boosted our web traffic to the level of major Washington D.C. thinktanks with thousands of times our budget. Thanks to Hank's efforts in just ten months we published more articles (731), put up more video and audio links (517), and signed on more new contributors (67) than we had published, posted and signed in all of 2010 and 2011. We began publishing short science fiction exploring our themes and issues, while our active community of commenters grew as well, requiring the adoption of a Right Speech policy to ensure civil discourse, moderated by members Reverand Alex McGilvery and Peter Wicks. Hank launched our project to collect cell phones to send to Madagascar, and started planning for a volume on technoprogressive approaches to African futures.
Hank was also a very popular writer. I don't want to ruin the countdown of our top articles for the year, but suffice it to say that essays Hank wrote for the IEET will be among the most widely read for 2012 as they were for 2011. Since our mission is the cultivation and amplification of technoprogressive public intellectuals, even when they are our own staff, we were bittersweet about Hank's decision to spin off and start his own Transhumanity website in October of this year. But we are already finding synergies in our new relationship.
We are fortunate however that a former intern and aspiring philosophy graduate student, Kris Notaro, was very eager to jump into Hank's shoes. Kris has been a political activist in a number of progressive movements, and is very familiar with the world of policy-oriented nonprofit organizations. Unlike our previous managing directors he lives nearby here in Connecticut which comes in handy for meeting face-to-face, and for our upcoming Personhood conference at Yale University April 26-28. We will be roaring out of the gate to build that conference in the next week or so, along with our collaborators in the Nonhuman Rights Project and the Yale Bioethics Program. Then in May we are co-sponsoring a conference at Arizona State University on the Governance of Emerging Technologies, part of ASU's new Program on Governance of Emerging Technologies.
Meanwhile our Fellows and Affiliate Scholars have been very busy, with hundreds of speaking engagements, articles and books. The Chair of the IEET Board of Directors, George Dvorsky, joined the staff of the website io9.com, and has been writing up a storm there on many topics of IEET concern. Among the books produced by IEETers this year there were works on biopolitics such as Martine Rothblatt's From Transgender to Transhuman and Art Caplan's Smart Mice, Not-So-Smart People; books on futurism such as Doug Rushkoff's Present Shock, Ayesha Khanna's Hybrid Reality, Marshall Brain's Manna: Two Visions of Humanity's Future; and speculative fiction such as David Brin's Existence, Ramez Naam's Nexus, and Marcelo Rinesi's Time of Punishment, as well as Andy Miah's The Olympics, Milan Ćirković's The Astrobiological Landscape and Russell Blackford's Freedom of Religion and the Secular State. (Now that I'm finally an empty nester I'm hoping to finish Cyborg Buddha, for realz.)
After the Personhood conference Kris, Marcelo and I have been talking about the opening we perceive for pushing forward the conversation about structural unemployment and the need for a basic income guarantee. The Right wants to whittle away at the safety net and impose more austerity, while automation, globalization and demographics continue to push down the proportion of people in the industrialized world who can find paid employment. It is time to begin talking about a model for fair and sustainable economic growth that ensures technological innovation without widespread impoverishment.
We appreciate your previous support, and look forward to working with you in 2013.

Hello my friends, it is with pride and joy that I am announcing that my 'readership' grew to 26 subscribers!
What? I've had 26 people voluntarily sign up to get my newest posts updates delivered straight to their inbox 🙂 Please note that none of the 26 readers are my family or friends. I still have not told anyone I know that I have this little blog of mine.
Anyway, work has been a bit boring and slow this past week, but it surely is paying the bills and securing my retirement. I do appreciate it. While I am settling in (it's been 9 weeks already) I am still open to other opportunities. I met with my headhunter last week and he thinks he can get me a couple of interviews in the next few days.
Lately I have been not as focused on saving money as I have been on NOT spending it. Since we still don't follow any budgets, I am coming to terms with the fact that as long as we are spending frugally and 90% on our needs, we shall be in a good shape. The 10% of 'wants' is very much needed to keep us happy and motivated. For me that's a cup of latte or an easy and inexpensive brunch out with a friend on a weekend. I don't need new clothing or expensive cosmetics or spa treatments but I do need some 'girl time' over my cup of coffee. ☕👈
As for a frugal update, here we go!
1. Clearance rack
is absolutely awesome at my local Duane Reade. All this baby stuff is being added to the package I am preparing for my sister. She is pregnant with her 4th and I am helping as much as I can. Add to it 7 pairs of good quality socks and 2 pairs of stockings, aloe vera and Aveno sunscreen and you will not believe all I paid was $11.56. I did redeem $5 in points too. I am absolutely thrilled with this shopping trip.
2. More Schoola goodies
Big thanks to everyone who used my affiliate link to sign up for Schoola. All of the clothing pictured is my 2 nieces' back to school clothing and I paid less than $5 for it. As you can imagine, my sister is taken aback and so very grateful. With another little one on the way she is counting every penny. This is such a huge relief for her and I feel so good about being able to help. This surely is a win-win situation 🙂
If you are still shopping for school clothing and are not signed up for Schoola, you can do it here. The 50% coupon code for the first time shoppers (WSW00090-SM) does not expire till August 31st so you can still get a super sweet deal!
3. Freebies in the mail
Whenever there is a promotion for something to try out I surely do sign up for it. Then I forget about it. 6-8 weeks later? Goodies time 🙂 Small things like that make me happy.
4. More frugal ways
- I am going to bore you and say that, yet again, I cooked all the meals at home. The only issue that I had was that we had the same meal three days in a row. I am planning same dish for this week as well. I am afraid that T., who is super easygoing, may start complaining soon. My cooking imagination is just not turned on at the moment; I am hoping I will make more effort in the fall when standing by the oven does not hurt as much as it does now.
- I fixed T.'s pants' pocket. He almost took it to a tailor and I am pretty sure it would be around $10.
- I am staying content with free entertainment – free kindle books, reading my favorite blogs and binge-watching Master Chef 🙂
