Love Making Skills for a Better Intimate Life
How Valuable is a Better Love Life?
It's no mystery that some people do better than others in the love department. But the most important thing that makes lovemaking healthy and fulfilling is the human mind. Those who are dynamite lovers are that way because their minds are open, willing, creative, and committed to a mutually fulfilling and positive experience. But there's a little more to it than just that. There's a certain spark to truly incredible love making that can be generated only from an unspoken intensity that wells up from the emotional centers of the brain more than the biological ones.
English has only one word for love, but those who have experienced it can tell you that love is not defined so simply. There is a deeper emotion, for which there is no real word in our language. It is this emotion that our lovemaking recording stimulates. And with it, we allow you to truly become a master of the senses and have climactic experiences unlike anything you dreamed possible. And this experience can be shared with that special someone in new ways each time.
But we help with more tangible elements of the experience as well. After using our recording you will discover that your confidence has greatly increased as well. The very act of tapping into this deeper and more powerful form of love will allow you to instantly change the landscape of your relationship into what you've always dreamed of. Each new day (and night) will become an adventure. Every new experience will bring you both to the pinnacle of experience. And as you find yourself performing in ways you never thought you could, your relationship will thrive as well. And no relationship security is greater than an incredible love life.
Facts to Consider:
- The most important elements of lovemaking happen within the mind.
- This gift will help your partner as much as yourself live a better life.
- Everyone can use some help, but it's all within you right now.
- With the proper mindset even the most casual relationship can become an incredible adventure.
How Can We Help?
Whether you use it shortly before or during your most intimate moments, this recording will unleash the most impressive and fulfilling lovemaking centers of your brain to allow them to work together for a truly satisfying experience for both you and your partner. The frequencies we use start you off in a Beta state so you are open, relaxed, and confident of yourself. Imagine a life where something you and your partner share is truly more satisfying than anything either of you have ever experienced in your lives. Imagine the satisfaction of knowing each time will be the best for both of you, to be topped only by the next adventure you both will share.
How Does It Work?
Binaural Beats- Sine wave generators are used to create two separate frequency waves, which are introduced to each ear independently. The brain reacts by creating a third tone, making up the difference of the two. It instantly reacts to these frequencies causing a Shift In Consciousness. Using this technology, your brain can be programmed to weed out interferences and open up the communication channels inside your mind that are blocked by your own consciousness.Isochronic Tones- If you are looking for the most effective type of brainwave entrainment, Isochronic tones are the way to go. Isochronic Tones also use equal intensity tones, but the pulse speed is greater, causing the brain to synchronize with the rhythm. In 1999, Thomas Budzynski Ph.D. published a case in the Journal of Neurotherapy which showed that a group of 8 college students increased their GPA with the use of audio brainwave stimulation, and their GPA continued to increase even after the brainwave entrainment was finished...

A few weeks ago, I tried to triangulate the oldest bar in town, and my general conclusion was that it was probably the Bistro by the Bijou, with several asterisks and footnotes that obliged me to describe several other contenders, one of which was Manhattan's in the Old City.
I got a note that the building that contains Manhattan's may be older than I had figured. I noted that it has been a photographic studio and then a Greek-owned chili parlor in the 1920s, and a speakeasy or beer joint then or soon after, but I didn't take it back farther than that. It's a one-story brick building without the usual Victorian flourishes. I'd assumed it was a 20th-century building.
However, I heard from reader Sandy Stevens-Woodland that the building is definitely a good deal older. She says it was her great-grandfather's pharmacy in the 1890s, and wasn't a brand new building then. During the renovation of the building as the Manhattan's we know, in 1986-87, she says sandblasting briefly revealed the name of her ancestors' pharmacy on the side of the building. She says Stevens is an ancestor of several prominent Knoxvillians, including former Vice-Mayor Jack Sharp and PR man Alan Carmichael.
These days, drugstores are sterile, fluorescent-lit and often cold and dismal places, which the exception of Long's on a Saturday. In the 1890s, though, drugstores were often noisy and crowded, especially down here on Central. Most offered counters where a man could sit on a stool and take his drugs, sometimes dissolved in a glass of water. Pharmacists were much less fussy about prescriptions, which weren't demanded for many drugs. Customers could often obtain opiates or even cocaine by request, and take the drugs at the counter.
Ms. Stevens-Woodland doesn't have any reason to believe her great-grandfather's pharmacy was like his cocaine-parlor neighbors, but she says he did advertise something as "Stevens' Magic Elixir." Whether that gives his old building longer legs as a contender as one of Knoxville's oldest bars, I'll leave up to you.
If any time this season you have a mind to just quit a Vols game at halftime, or earlier, walk over to the University Center and see the photographic exhibit in the concourse. A decade or two ago, it might have been even more controversial than the notorious Pearlstein exhibit, the clinically nude drawings that raised such a stir with the moral majority in the '80s. The current exhibit may shock us because it features photographs of old UT buildings, with insinuations of preservationism.
In the past, even the recent past at UT, preservationism was the equivalent of Bolshevism. The university's administration looked suspiciously at old buildings, especially its own. The exhibit combines historical shots of the old UT Hill, from as far back as the Civil War. It's a little chilling to realize that, at this university that flourishes its 1794 founding date like a club tie, has not a single brick in place from any building as it stood on the Hill in a circa 1870 photo. The Campus Heritage Project, shepherded by administrator Tim Ezzell, highlights several interesting old buildings, including the carriage house at White and 16th, once part of a private residence, but now a prized campus relic.
They've always said it's a matter of cost and priorities, but you have to wonder how other colleges, even state colleges, are able to save so much, when UT's able to save so little. The University of Virginia is ostensibly younger than UT, as an institution, but has several buildings much older than our oldest. That's 1872's South College, a building mainly functional by Victorian standards, has never looked so elegant as it does in this photograph.
It's assumed, in a caption for a photograph of Estabrook Hall, the second-oldest academic building on campus and maybe my favorite, is likely doomed. When it's gone, UT, the 18th-century university, will have only one building that hosted any teaching before the 20th century.
Everybody's pretending they don't know why Knoxville had the highest gas prices in the nation early last week, maybe the highest gas prices in American history. But it seems pretty obvious to me. It's the same syndrome we repeat every time a weatherman mentions a 50 percent chance of snow.
You know what I mean. In Knoxville history, no one has ever starved to death due to snow. Even when we used to get snow, it never stayed on the ground more than three or four days. But as soon as there's any prediction of snow, we run to Kroger and buy 12 loaves of bread and three gallons of milk, even if we doubt we can drink that much before it spoils, snow or no snow. We buy it because everybody else is doing the same thing, and we know that if we don't, somebody else might get it. It's simple hillbilleconomics.
Iconic grocer Cas Walker, a leading scholar of hillbilleconomics, was its master practitioner. There's a story I've heard from several sources over the years: If some product was overstocked and in the way, he would announce that supplies were short—and double the price. Nothing convinces East Tennesseans to buy like that. He created a sudden demand, and would vaporize his surplus in no time.
Cas is gone, but his old customers are still here. When we hear that a hurricane might make gas scarce and expensive next week, we go out and fill every tank we can find. Faced with the likelihood of running out, stations raise prices. And it's top of the TV news, on every station, even as a hurricane is wiping out thousands of homes on the gulf.
It was big news, but whether it's a very serious problem or not, I don't know. Even those who drive SUVs 100 miles a day, and bought gas every day at the going rate, didn't have to pay as much extra throughout the whole $5 per gallon ordeal as, say, they might have for an oil change—or one lonesome nosebleed seat at the Florida game. Like Keynesian economics, hillbilleconomics is not easy to explain to the layman.

November 1775
The building now known as the Gardener's House was originally erected as a hospital for ailing slaves. A series of documentary references indicate that construction was underway by November 1775, and that the building probably was completed by that following spring or early summer. The date of construction has been proven by the findings from dendrochronological sampling of structural timbers, which yielded a date of winter 1775/76 for when the trees that were grown for these timbers were cut down. The construction of this building was part of a major rebuilding episode which Washington initiated just before he left to command the American troops in the Revolutionary War. In addition to expanding the Mansion, Washington demolished the earlier outbuildings that had flanked the smaller house he had inherited from his older half-brother, Lawrence, and began to erect the various service buildings that front on the circle and line the north and south lanes.
Unusual Plan
The structure's unusual floor plan appears to have been a result of its initial function as a hospital. The first floor was divided into three spaces, with two small rooms sharing the south end of the building, and a larger chamber, with a fireplace, to the north. The south rooms were formed by installing a wooden board partition to equally divide the space, with doorways providing direct access to each room from the north chamber. This arrangement meant that the exterior door positioned in the south gable (facing the circle) could not have functioned, but it was retained to symmetrically balance the façade of the Store House across the circle. This plan is summarized in a letter from Lawrence Washington addressed to George Washington on December 13, 1775:
I should be glad to be informd, in what manner the House – now Buildg opposite the Store House, is to be divided into partitions – in one of your Letters you say it is intended for the Sick – if so I would make Three Rooms in it – ½ the House or more in the part next the Chimney The Remainder divided into Two Rooms each of which will have a Window in it – The Door in the gable End to be of no Use, but Still to be there, that it may in its outward appearance look like the store.
Plantation records indicate that the structure was used to support the spinning operation for an indefinite period during the 1780s, as noted in a letter from George Washington dated June 13, 1785: "… beginning by the walk next the house I built for a Hospital, (since used for Spinning)." By 1792 it had been pressed into service as a domestic space, when one of Washington's managers, an Irishman by the name of James Butler, was mentioned as having moved "into the house opposite to the Store." By the following spring plans had changed, however, and the structure was dedicated to serve as the residence for the head gardener. The first gardener to occupy the building was the German, John Christian Ehlers, and his wife; by 1799 the gardener position was held by the bachelor, William Spence, who had been recruited from Scotland after Ehlers's dismissal in 1797.
Apparently the interior of the Hospital had been left in an unfinished state, as a considerable amount of work was required in 1793 to make the building habitable for the Ehlers. This included installing wooden lath and then "plastering" and white washing the walls. Washington's letter from April 28, 1793, provides the best description of the character of the space that we have, when he stated that the gardener was to move into this particular building, "on acct. of its having a room to lodge in above (which a decent Woman would require) and another below to Cook in, with a [brick] floor unsusceptible of fire."

Matambo, Tonderayi Sylvester (2004) Biochemical characterization of plasmodium falciparum heat shock protein 70. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Plamodium falciparum heat shock protein (PfHsp70) is believed to be involved in the cytoprotection of the malaria parasite through its action as a molecular chaperone. Bioinformatic analysis reveal that PfHsp70 consists of the three canonical Hsp70 domains; an ATPase domain of 45 kDa, Substrate binding domain of 15 kDa and a C-terminal domain of 10 kDa. At the C-terminus there is a GGMP repeat motif that is commonly found in Hsp70s of parasitic origins. Plasmodium falciparum genome is 80% A-T rich, making it difficult to recombinantly express its proteins in Escherhia coli (E. coli) as a result of rare codon usage. In this study we carried out experiments to improve expression in E. coli by inserting the PfHsp70 coding region into the pQE30 expression vector. However multiple bands were detected by Western analysis, probably due to the presence of rare codons. The RIG plasmid, which encodes tRNAs for rare codons in particular Arg (AGA/AGG), Ile (AUA) and Gly (GGA) was engineered into the E. coli strain resulting in production of full length PfHsp70. Purification was achieved through Ni^(2+) Chelating sepharose under denaturing conditions. PfHsp70 was found to have a very low basal ATPase activity of 0.262 ± 0.05 nmoles/min/mg of protein. In the presence of reduced and carboxymethylated lactalbumin (RCMLA) a 11-fold increase in ATPase activity was noted whereas in the presence of both RCMLA and Trypanosoma cruzi DnaJ (Tcj2) a 16-fold was achieved. For ATP hydrolysis kcat value of 0.003 min^(-1) was obtained whereas for ADP release a greater k_cat_ value of 0.8 min^(-1) was obtained. These results indicated that rate of ATP hydrolysis maybe the rate-determining step in the ATPase cycle of PfHsp70.

Last summer, 14-year-old Bed-Stuy resident Brian Bradley was tired of guys ogling and hissing at his pretty mother when they walked down the street. His mom is shy, and he felt it was very disrespectful. So he wrote a rap song about it, "Stop Looking at My Mom," under the name The Astronomical Kid. (See attached video).
By fall 2010, the video he made to accompany the song had racked up so many Youtube visits, it caught the attention of news media everywhere, from New York to London.
Patch has decided to check in with the Internet sensation known as The Astronomical Kid to see how he's handling his new-found fame and to hear about his upcoming projects.
Introduce yourself by stating your name, age, the neighborhood you're from, and the school you currently attend.
My name is The Astronomical Kid. I'm fourteen years old. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I'm currently living in Bed-Stuy. The school I attend… I'm going to keep that private.
Explain your stage name, The Astronomical Kid. How did it come about?
I gave myself the name. One day I was writing a rhyme and I was looking through the dictionary and I came across Astronomical. And I saw it meant big, large, outer space, something like that. I added "Kid" and "The" to it so it would sound real big and professional. I like that name because everything I do I like to think is astronomical. My original name was going to be Nutsy.
Your hit single, "Stop Looking at My Mom," has earned you national attention. Can you describe what it's been like appearing on TV? How have you been handling the press?
The first big show was at Black Expo with DJ Envy and I performed my song Converse. I loved Converse at the moment—still do.
Where I'm from a lot of kids watch TV but they never say I can be on 106 and Park or I can be on MTV. They don't really believe it. So for me to be on both off of one song that just showed me I can do anything or be anything I want to be. My first experience with paparazzi was when I came out of the Channel 11 news building and they said, 'Astro, can I take your picture?' That felt really good.
Have you earned the attention of any record labels, either local or national?
Yeah, we have some offers on the table. We have big offers on the table. We should be signing soon. Hopefully by next month I'll be signed.
How young were you when you started to listen to Hip-Hop music? Can you recall the first rhymes you wrote, or the first time you freestyled?
When I started listening to Hip-Hop I was probably nine years old. I heard Biz Markie and it was really dope. I just wanted to find out about more music that sounded as dope as that. So, yeah, that's when I started to listen to Hip-Hop, not rap. I consider them two different things.
I became an emcee this year because my definition of an emcee is different from my definition of a rapper. I've been a rapper since I was nine but an emcee this year because now I can switch up my flow; I can rap on any type of beat; I can control a crowd with no jewelry on, just nothing but my hand.
What's the difference between Hip-Hop and rap?
A rapper is someone who will wear jewelry or use what they have on to get a crowd to like them or get people to buy their albums. An MC is someone who really loves Hip-Hop for Hip-Hop. Not about the money, the jewelry or the women.
Hip-Hip is a way for the youth—a way for a lot of different people—to express themselves to the world. Rap is a way for you to be cool, just to get girls. I mean, you can do the same thing with Hip-Hop, but it's much deeper than that.
Your new stardom has taken you from Webster Hall to Alabama. What's it been like traveling the country? What has your favorite show been?
I flew for the first time to California for the BET awards. It's an overwhelming experience. It makes me feel like a real star.
My favorite show would have to be the one in Delaware. I won a contest over 3,000 people who entered. So they let me open up for the Delaware Spring Jam—they're version of Summer Jam. I performed with B.o.B, Fat Joe, Melanie Fiona, Omarion. Melanie Fiona actually brought me backstage so I could beatbox for her.
What has your worst show been, or the one you learned the most from?
My worst show was a show I did when I was 10 years old. It was at YMCA. I remember my music was messing up because the DJ was downstairs and I was performing upstairs so he couldn't hear me. Someone had to run back and forth to tell him, 'Hey drop the record.' So I stopped, waiting for the record to drop for like 5 minutes and this little girl booed me. You know, she was my age and she booed me and I couldn't really handle that well. I just started crying after. I don't really get booed anymore, but now when I do I know how to handle it. I'm stronger. I don't cry anymore.
Your press bio claims that you've "revived the hunger for true hip-hop." Can you describe how your music is different from what's on the radio or what other emcees are doing? Why, in your opinion, is your music receiving so much attention?
My music is different because it's based on concepts, things that people go through in their everyday lives. Stop looking at my mom. I guarantee you every kid from my school—everyone that was walking with their mom—got their mother looked at. It's different from what's on the radio because the majority of what's playing is dance songs. You got songs about money. We got to step up. We got to make Hip-Hop more of an art.
I think my music is receiving so much attention because people can relate to it. Not everybody can relate to going into a mall and spending $150,000 on clothes and popping champagne. But everybody can relate to "Stop Looking at My Moms." You don't like people looking at your mother; I don't like it either. I put it on a song and it became a hit.
Many rappers that you say are influences were also raised in single-parent homes, such as Tupac, Biggie, and Jay-Z. What do you think is the biggest challenge for young men growing up in single-parent homes?
I live with my mother alone. Being raised with a single parent, especially a woman, I have to learn how to be a man kind of on my own. Don't get me wrong. I have good people all together that will show me how to be a man time to time. But when I'm in my house I have to really help my mother out. I'm kind of like the man of the house. I have a little sister, so I'm surrounded by girls so I have to take responsibility.
When your mother raises you and you see her struggling 24/7 you can't wait to get signed and be able to buy your mother every single thing that she wants and take care of her. So, every song you hear me record I go hard for my mother. My mother's the one that got me here. She's the one that trained me and taught me to rap.
For men, the biggest challenge is opportunity. When you're in Bed-Stuy, people automatically think you're from this garbage. It's hard for you to get a job, to go somewhere.
Do you think it's coincidence or do you think Bed-Stuy as a neighborhood creates great emcees? In what ways are you carrying on Bed-Stuy's legacy and continuing the tradition of these great emcees?
It's not coincidence. Every emcee from Bed-Stuy was dope. I think Bed-Stuy really loves Hip-Hop. On each and every single block, somebody has to have a Jay-Z album.
I feel like a lot of people think that if you're not Jay-Z's age or you don't have Beyonce on your side, then you can't be as great as him. I want to prove that I can be greater.

Programming Tips...
I thought that I would find a sample program to port as an example for this column, but over a weekend, as I downloaded program after program, I was just more and more impressed with the Linux C library as program after program compiled with simple tweaks like changing the Makefile to use gcc instead of cc and changing paths to executables. I finally found a program that might give some people problems porting, an editor called Freyja.
I copied the supplied makefile.unx to Makefile, and edited the Makefile. I changed CFLAGS to -O2 to use the highest level of optimization from GCC, and typed make at the command line. GCC complained that TIOCGETP, TIOCSETP, and RAW were undefined. This means that Freyja is written with BSD in mind. There did not appear to be any #define's that I could make to change Freyja's behavior to SYSV or POSIX, either.
So, following the steps in the GCC-FAQ, I added -I/usr/include/bsd to the CFLAGS line, and -lbsd to the link line (called FXLINK in Freyja for some strange reason; it's usually called LDFLAGS), and ran make again.
That was all that was required to "port" this bsd-oriented program. I had to read the documentation to find out that I needed to call it with the arguments "-kT -s29" to tell it how to write to the screen and read from the keyboard, or that I needed to compile an equivalent change into the resource file that Freyja uses, but it was very simple.
Freyja is written by Craig A. Finseth, and is available via ftp from mail.unet.umn.edu, or if you don't have ftp access, via U.S. mail. Quoting the README:
Diskette: Send the author blank diskettes:
3 1/2" (1.44 MB), or
and a SASE or enough stamps to cover return postage plus a dollar or so (so that I can buy a diskette mailer). Or you can just send me about US\$5.00 in check, stamp, whatever and I will furnish the diskette(s) and mailer. Non-US people can send me four 1.44 MB 3 1/2" diskettes in lieu of money. (More money is always nice, but please don't feel obligated in any way.)
The address is: Craig Finseth1343 LafondSt. Paul, MN55104, USA
Here's your chance to contribute! If you have difficulties porting a general Un*x application to Linux, please either send email to email@example.com or send snail mail to Programming Tips, Linux Journal, P.O. Box 85867, Seattle, WA 98145-1867, with a description of how to get the program via the internet, or with a copy of the application enclosed on floppy, 150MB QIC tape, or standard DAT, and with a detailed explanation of what you have tried in your attempt to port it, and I may try it myself, especially if it looks like it will make worthwhile material for this column.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

In partnership with the innovators of technical style at Flylow, The Snow Review is rewarding our new members and contributors with a Women's Free-ride Jacket valued at $399
Simply leave a comment or resort review on any destination, profile or article this week and the best contribution as determined by our editorial team will be awarded the jacket. The competition closes on Sunday July 1. The more you post, the better your chances.
This week's reward will be more coveted than a prom date with Torin Yater-Wallace. A Free-ride specific Women's Down Jacket, the 'Charlie' is a paragon of Flylow's ethos and aesthetic. The company was formed 'to design and construct the highest quality and best looking big mountain free-ride apparel'. Sounds simple enough, but there is a surprising dearth of companies geared specifically towards the style savvy free-ski market.
Dan from FlyLow says 'simply put, our clothing is designed for the out all day, skinning, boot-packing, lift-riding, ripping, I use my gear, modern skier'.
In short, they have made the technical components in outerwear alluring. Not in the way that boorish weekend warriors assume the exorbitant price tag of gore-tex shells and compression tights make them styish, but rather as a fashion forward and functional offering.
Geared towards girls who are always cold on the hill, this hardshell jacket with insulating goose down is toasty warm. Think waking up under a thick duvet on a winters day warm.
It's got underarm vents and a removable powder skirt combined with a packable 10k 10k 2 layer polyester shell material. Its a waterproof down jacket as packable as a mid layer.
Packable and toasty, its an ideal jacket for hard charging and fashion forward girls. Or for hard charging guys who can win extra time on the hill by giving their better half a brand new jacket. Win-win.
Check out the rest of the Flylow collection, including Menswear here.
This Flylow partnership inaugurates The Snow Review's member incentive program. So if you're a fan of exclusive parties, complimentary lift tickets and apparel, or the opportunity to win a day heli-skiing, check back and post regularly. Lest you risk ending up like a philistine Daily Telegraph skier pocketing free peanuts in winter's most decrepit haunts…

Perricone Promise Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
For those that are new to the diet and weight loss game, rest assured that there are plenty of books out there that endeavor to assist with weight management and maintaining a young/healthy body. Now we will take a closer look at The Perricone Promise, which was written by one Dr. Nicholas Perricone M.D. This text addresses how to stay young and beautiful, but also how to remain healthy and live longer. It can be purchased through Amazon.com. You will also find reviews for The Perricone Promise on this website. The cost varies depending on whether you want a new book or not.
With The Perricone Promise, there are three steps addressed for looking and feeling young. These three steps involve a specific diet plan, the taking of supplements each day, and using the right topical cosmetics/skin care products, which are created by Perricone. This three-pronged approach to feeling young and staying fit discusses how the user can increase his/her metabolism and start burning away unwanted calories more quickly. The immune system is strengthened and cardiovascular health is improved. The particular diet program addressed in The Perricone Promise is a 28-day diet. Some of the foods that are encouraged to eat are chicken breast, turkey breast, olives, ample water and strawberries. Fresh fruits and vegetables are promoted in this weight loss book, just as they are in many others.
Product Features
The Perricone Promise is essentially a text that aims to help women and men with remaining youthful and healthy. This 232-page book not only addresses how to shed unwanted body fat and tone up, but also how to improve the texture/clarity of your skin with the right topical treatments. Daily supplements are also a key part of The Perricone Promise. As opposed to calling this text a weight loss book, it's more correct to call it a health and beauty guide. The author identifies 10 super foods in this book and discusses how they can benefit anyone with weight loss, beautiful skin and overall health.
- Some individuals may like that there are no prescription drugs involved with The Perricone Promise.
- it is not difficult to find and purchase this text online.
- Although the price on The Perricone Promise is not high, all of the skin care products and supplements that are supposed to be purchased with it can get rather expensive.
- This type of health and beauty program may be too involved for some individuals.
- Not all of the reviews for this book are positive.
All in all, The Perricone Promise is basically just a health and beauty guide. While it is nice to see a book that addresses different aspects of staying young and attractive, it may be difficult for some individuals to purchase all of the skin care products and oral supplements that are addressed in this book. Furthermore, it sort of looks like Perricone is hyping up his own skin care line so that more people will buy it. You may have better luck with a book or supplement that is geared specifically toward weight reduction.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's fourth graders scored higher on the nation's benchmark standardized tests in math and English than their peers in most other states, but minority and poor students in Indiana are still lagging behind.
Indiana eighth-graders, on average, also improved their scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress exams, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Education Thursday.
On the NAEP tests, administered to a sampling of students in every state across the nation, Indiana fourth graders saw a 5-point jump in their test results over 2011.
The state's eighth graders saw a more modest increase. But barely one-third of those eighth-grade students scored "proficient" on the NAEP math and English tests.Indiana's modestly rising marks reflect progress made by students around the nation, but U.S. Secretary Arne Duncan said the pace of progress isn't fast enough.
"We're not seeing transformational change but modest progress," Duncan said, in a call to reporters Wednesday during a preview of the test results.
The NAEP, also known as The Nation's Report Card, is seen as a reliable gauge of K-12 academic progress since it's given to a large cross-section of students. The test has been administered to public and private school students by the U.S. Department of Education every two years since the 1990s.
An Indiana high school teacher who sits on the NAEP board said the state's upward trend over the last 13 years is encouraging, but he also echoed Duncan's concerns about the modest nature of the gains.
"Scores have increased since 1990 with the 2013 average scores for both grade levels being higher than all previous years," said Dale Nowlin, who teaches math at Columbus North High School. "There has been a significant shift in the positive direction for all achievement levels."

This article was written for Bundler version 1.0. If you are using a later version of Bundler, the commands and code here may or may not work. If in doubt refer to the Bundler home page.
Considering Bundler does a relatively complex job, the basics of using Bundler to manage gem dependencies in your projects is very simple. In a nutshell, you'll be editing a file that describes what gems your project depends on and slightly modifying how you require those gems.
Installing Bundler
If you haven't already, install Bundler. It's a simple gem, installed from the Rubygems repository. No surprises here.
$ gem install bundler
Also, make sure you have the bundle command line program in your path. If you have Rubygems set up correctly, this should be working for you.
$ bundle --version
Bundler version 1.0.22
Generating a Gemfile
Go to your project directory on the command line. If you haven't already started a project, start one now and generate whatever files you need to if you're using a project generator (like the Rails project generator). Once you're in the new directory, run the bundle init command. This will create your Gemfile file. This is, for the most part, where all your Bundler stuff goes.
~$ cd awesomeproject/
awesomeproject$ ls
README lib/ main.rb
awesomeproject$ bundle init
Writing new Gemfile to /Users/user/awesomeproject/Gemfile
awesomeproject$ ls
Gemfile README lib/ main.rb
Defining Dependencies
You're all ready to start defining dependencies. Each dependency you define in your Gemfile should be a gem your project directly relies on. For example, if your project uses the Chronic gem, you should list it in this file. The gems you should not list are dependencies of your dependencies. Those will be taken care of in a separate step. So, just to repeat, only dependencies your project directly relies on. Pretty much only the gems you require directly.
Here is the example Gemfile generated by bundler init. It lists a gem repository (the official Rubygems repository, it's possible to list your own here) and an example (and commented out) dependency. Also note that this is not a special file. It's just a Ruby file, you can (and will) do a bit more than a simple list of gems here.
# A sample Gemfile
source "http://rubygems.org"
# gem "rails"
Since out imaginary project relies on the Chronic gem as well as the graph gem, we'll list those in this file. Note that there are no version numbers listed yet.
# Gemfile for an awesome project
source "http://rubygems.org"
gem 'chronic'
gem 'graph'
Defining Versions
If necessary, you can define versions for your dependencies. For example, if I know my project needs version 2.5.0 of the graph gem, no earlier version will do, I should explicitly state that here. Similarly, if you want the exact version of a gem installed (if, for example, you rely on some unexpected behavior not present in other versions), you may also want to define this here. Defining gem versions is done with a small string with some familiar operators (and one slightly complicated one).
- "= 2.5.0" - The project requires version 2.5.0, and no other version.
- "!= 2.5.0" - Or the project requires any version except 2.5.0, maybe that version is very broken?
- "> 2.5.0" - Anything greater than 2.5.0 will do.
- " - Or less than 2.5.0.
- ">= 2.5.0" or " - Greater/less than or equal to 2.5.0.
- "~> 2.5" - Approximately greater than. This takes advantage of the rational versioning policy. Saying "~> 2.5" is the equivalent of saying "anything 2.5 or greater, but less than 3." It does this by dropping the last digit (in this case, 5) and incrementing the next digit. So, we could have also said "~> 2.5.0" which would mean something slightly different. Drop the last digit and increment the next to the last and we get "anything greater than 2.5.0 or less than 2.6.0." This is possibly the most used operator here, so get to know it.
So, in our example project I know that I need the 2.5.0 version of the graph gem, but I want to make sure I stay in the 2.5.x branch, so I'll define the version as "~> 2.5.0".
# A sample Gemfile
source "http://rubygems.org"
gem 'chronic'
gem 'graph', "~> 2.5.0"
Locking In
Once you have the direct dependencies listed, it's time to install your dependencies and make your Gemfile.lock file. This lock file is very important, it will list the required version of every gem required by your project. Not only the the depencies you listed, but the gems those depend on. This is a very important file for application developers. This is the file that bundle install uses to make sure the correct gem version for every gem is installed. Having a predictable environment with predictable gem version is very desirable for application developers. So make sure you check this file into version control so other developers have the same set of gem versions.
So, to install the gems and create this file, run the command bundle install.
$ bundle install
Using chronic (0.6.7)
Using graph (2.5.0)
Using bundler (1.0.22)
Your bundle is complete! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
$ cat Gemfile.lock
remote: http://rubygems.org/
chronic (0.6.7)
graph (2.5.0)
graph (~> 2.5.0)
Require the Right Gem
By default, Rubygems will require the latest version of a gem. In order to prevent this from happening in your project, you need to add another require after Rubygems but before any of your gems. This will read your Gemfile and make sure Rubygems grabs the correct version, even if a newer version is installed.
require "rubygems"
require "bundler/setup"
require "chronic"
require "graph"

This was a fantastic hotel, and of a higher standard than most 3-star hotels. We were in the area for a weekend of golfing, wine tasting, and outdoor fun for the kids and it was perfect in every way. The staff was delightful, breakfast was substantial, and the grounds were just beautiful. In addition to fabulous lawns, there was the heated pool, walking trails, a fountain, etc. Highly recommended! - Anonymous
The staff were incredibly helpful. We arrived late (after the reception had closed) and I aws cocncerned we would not have a room. However a key had been left for us with clear instructions etc. - Sue
All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and our rooms on both stays were very good, large and clean and comfortable - David

Zach asks, "I have been looking like crazy for a B vitamin supplement that will give me a ton of energy, but there are so many at so many prices. It would be nice to have the field narrowed for those of us who don't want to spend lots of money."
You're probably already getting enough B vitamins from the foods you eat, as long as you're eating a typical diet, since they're found in a wide variety of foods. If you're worried that your diet may be deficient, any inexpensive B-complex supplement will give you all the B vitamins you need.
If you're looking for a B-complex vitamin supplement to make you feel more alert or more motivated, you're probably going to be disappointed. Your body needs the B vitamins for many different reasons, including metabolizing food to energy and healthy brain function, but the B vitamins don't work as fuel, and they don't act like caffeine.
In that case, you're looking for an energy supplement. Typically, these supplements come in the form of tablets or liquids and are easy to find in any store, usually marketed to young people. They contain small amounts of B vitamins and other ingredients like amino acids or herbs, but the main active ingredient is caffeine. Some contain lots of sugar as well.
Dietary supplements may help to ensure that you'll get all the vitamins and minerals you need, but they won't counteract the effects of eating a poor diet. If you're feeling tired and sluggish, you may need to look at foods you eat every day (and you should speak to a health care provider). Be sure to get the right number of calories; avoid excess fats, sugars and sodium; and eat lots of fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole grains every day, along with healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flax seeds and canola oil. If you decide you need to take supplements, I've got tips for choosing high quality dietary supplements.

I had a 2004 Combo, which I purchased from my son. Unfortunately he didn't treat the car very well and I spent a bomb on maintenance. I used the car for a while with my business, and found the design and space was just perfect for what I wanted, having downsized from a Econovan (Yes these need maintenance too!).
I ended up finding more issues with the car than I wanted to spend money on, all due to my son's heavy foot, lack of timely maintenance and the repairer I was using not doing their job properly, not because of poor build quality.
I finally decided to trade the Combo in, I looked around at the VW Caddy and the Fiats, and found their prices to be outrageous. For a while I even considered going with a Hyundai hatch back, however they didn't have the space I wanted, and since I personally really liked the Combo so much, I traded the 2004 Combo it in on a 2012 model!
I've read the posts and I've got to say, generally vehicles behave how they are treated; over loading any vehicle will cause issues, and over revving because of a lack of power will cause issues.
While I'm not saying this was the reason for the faults people have posted, it needs to be placed into perspective.
People who used the Combo because it was their work car and have posted here, would not treat a work car the same way they would drive the own car, guaranteed!
While Combo's are not perfect, they are an ideal size for what they are meant to do. In response to the engine mount post, you can buy all three engine mounts on eBay for $260 or Autopro for $360. The cost of parts is dependent on where you look and if you go genuine or not.
As to power, these are NOT 270 kilowatt V8s, they are 66 kilowatt 4 cylinders, which is fine for puttering around town on the smell of an oily rag! Very cheap to run.
I believe the expectations written here are bit extreme, given how many Combos are running around without problems. So these while valid complaints could be the exception, they not the rule. This post is from someone that actually likes the Combo!

A first look at Pixar's new short film, The Blue Umbrella
Would you like an early look at the Pixar short film that will front this summer's Monsters University? Then here's a little clip...
Aside from the global success of its features, Pixar has a worldwide reputation as a maker of classic short films. Often serving as a proving ground for new CG technology, or a launch platform for debutante directors, these shorts - from the seminal Luxo Jr to last year's La Luna - have become a vital part of the studio's history.
Pixar's next short film, The Blue Umbrella, will appear in front of Monsters University this summer, and as the clip below proves, Pixar still has the ability to tell concise, gentle stories with little more than a couple of everyday objects.
And in line with some of those earlier short films, The Blue Umbrella marks the debut of a new director - Saschka Unseld, who's been working as a camera and staging artist for Pixar since 2008. According to The Wall Street Journal, who initially published the clip below, the short film is the first attempt at making a photo-realistic film - and the results, from what we can tell, are extremely impressive.
You can read Louisa's article on the history and impact of Pixar's short films here.
Monsters University opens on the 12th July in the UK.

Story could have been a little more unusual than the standard love story, but hopefully it goes different in some way. Animation is stellar, the pic I saw above had me thinking they had just attached cgi faces to real umbrellas!
There are only two (some say three) types of movies: Man vs Man and Man vs Environment. So if it's not umbrella vs rain it is umbrella either fighting the red umbrella or loving it. See how simple movies really are!

I'm always looking for ways to spice up the normal breakfast foods. Although I'm not very good about eating breakfast, the husband cannot function without it.
To ensure that he eats a healthy breakfast, I try to have a protein-packed option ready each morning, especially one that's easy to eat on the go. This week, I decided to mix up our usual scrambled eggs, by adding green chiles and cheddar.
Health Benefits
Eggs-high in protein, great source of choline for brain function and health, and reduce inflammation
Green Chiles-rich in vitamins A and C, contain high amounts of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which supports the cardiovascular system, as well as helps maintain the health of the skin, eyes and immune system. Also a good source of iron and potassium.
Give these breakfast burritos a try! You can even make up a few ahead of time and pop in the fridge, then reheat on your way out the door in the morning!
Green Chile Breakfast Burrito
3 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon green chilies, diced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 whole wheat tortillas
sea salt and pepper
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in beaten eggs, and continue scrambling as they cook. When the eggs are almost done, add in green chiles, cheddar cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and distribute egg mixture between two tortillas. Roll up as burritos and enjoy!
