Yesterday my kindergarten students rocked out some styrofoam scratch-printing with markers!
After introducing and demonstrating the steps for this activity, I told them that I'd be around to help, but they would have to experiment to find the best way of making a clear print. I was really impressed at how independently they were able to do this project, which allowed for some authentic trial and error in the printing process.
Kids helped their neighbors determine just how damp the paper should be for an ideal print, if the paper or the styrofoam printing block worked best on top, and how hard to roll with the brayers. They're such cooperative little dudes, I love them!
This worked so well, we will be having a second printing session next week! Wooo!
A fun lesson for an exhausted art teacher:
this week has been rough! i've been running ragged to get art projects matted and framed to replace the 100 frames around the school and i just needed a low-effort, fun project for my first graders this morning.
enter the imagination workout.
the basic idea is simple, and easy to recreate on your own, just draw a grid, and in each grid make a random squiggle or mark. kids can even make their own and trade with a friend.
once the grids are complete, have students use any type of art material you like (I use pens, markers, and colored pencils) to turn the random marks into complete pictures.
i'll end the lesson with a circle discussion, and let kids share what they created. it's always a super positive and silly way to reinforce how many different ways we can imagine a simple squiggle.
We were designing buttons today for Youth Art Month. I had a fourth grader start a Dr. Who series. I casually asked, "could you tell me what the Daleks have to do with Youth Art Month?" He didn't have an answer, and I unfortunately crushed his spirit… His last design was a nice trite palette. :(

CA Water Organization Uses Taxpayer Money to Fool Taxpayers
A California water agency has dragged Google News into a scandal over a serious case of astroturfing.
The Central Basin Municipal Water District, in Los Angeles County, has been called out for writing fake news stories promoting itself, disguised in a website called the Hawks News Review. Google News had approved the faux-news site as a legitimate source.
The Los Angeles Times covered this story, asserting that the Water District paid more than $200,00o to a public relations firm for planting the positive coverage.
It's one thing when WalMart, the nation's biggest private company, does this kind of astroturfing. It can use its money how it wants. But it is a much more serious breach of ethics when a public agency uses taxpayer money to fund practices that deceive the people who paid for the deception. (Not to mention a breach of PR ethics.)
Which is part of the reason the District hired the PR firm, Coghlan Consulting Group. It had been loosely linked to the massive public-money scandal in Bell, CA, for which former Bell councilman George Cole and seven others have been charged with public corruption.
The Central Basin District GM Art Aguilar demanded a retraction this week from the Los Angeles Times, saying its figures were wrong, the District never paid the News Hawk Review, and the reporter on the story was not thorough.
"Using the Internet to raise awareness about an issue is a pretty standard outreach practice, the last time I checked," Aguilar was quoted in a press release from the District.
Hawks News Review has been removed from Google News, but not before it also took a hit for letting this "news outlet" earn a spot among real items.

Reviews for ELEANOR - a deleted scene from Blood Lines |
handsdowntoo chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 This was cute. I think Bloodlines was the only story I ever enjoyed where Edward had anything of a romantic/sexual past and was a vampire. So, that is just a testament to how you handled it all with a delicacy . |
Airekel chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 I really *love* this! It's so nice. Now I need to read 'Blood Lines' again - which I really really love! Thanks so much for posting this outtake. It's very special. I can just imagine that Edward had heart failure when Eleanor first saw and recognized him. But then he must have realized that people would just think she was having a senior moment if she talked to anyone about him - at least after she said she knew that her neighbor that died was Jimmy Hoffa. I'm glad, though, that Rebecca didn't come back while they were talking. And I loved that Edward had a bit of his human life to talk about with someone who was there - besides Carlisle. I'm also glad that Bella was ther to share this special gift with him. Again, thanks so much for posting this. It's wonderful, just like 'Blood Lines'! |
sujari6 chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Thank you for this outtake. Blood Lines is still one of my all-time favourite stories. |
Luvtwismut chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 That was fantastic! I may have to read Blood Lines again! I forgot how much I loved that story. :) Thanks for posting this! Jen |
hoppyliz chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Lovely and funny. Thanks for sharing it. |
turmy chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Blood Lines was one of the very first stories i read on fanfiction and i have always loved it. I'm very glad you ran across this outtake and decided to post it i thought it was great so thank you. |
Bow to your sensei chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 I did enjoy it. Thank you for sharing it with us! |
kgarrison3 chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Thank you! This has always been one of my favorite stories. I love it when Edward's kindness is shown - not enough stories let that shine through. You always seem to get to the essential Edward. I can't say enough about your writing! |
edwards-girl-4-ever chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Another gem. |
Eternally Addicted chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 What a great scene. Loved it! |
Montara chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 It seems Edward was like the rest of the kids, not some brooding one :) It's nice to know. |
ickaren chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Thank you for posting this here,I loved reading it. Bloodlines is one of my all-time favourite stories. You write some of the very best vampire fic ever! |
ksuvoge chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Love. I was just re-reading BL today, one of my favorites! Love all your work and looking forward to your non-twilight fiction to come out. :). Thanks for sharing |
Beans827 chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Oh yes I did enjoy that. Makes me want to go back an re-read Blood Lines because that Edward was so every special. So gentle and gentlemanly! Loved him. Thanks for sharing that. |
katmom chapter 1 . 7/21/2013 Just lovely! Kathie |

I find myself needing to have a View expose its Model and Controller references. Is this the smell of bad design? Or is this considered "safe" practice?
For example: I have a list (composed of a ListView
, ListController
, and ListModel
) and many list items (composed of a ItemView
, ItemController
, and ItemModel
When I create the ItemModel
, ItemView
, and ItemController
for each list item, I pass the ItemView
instance off to the ListView
. But, at some later point, my ListController
needs a reference to the corresponding ItemController
So, would it be more proper to pass both the ItemView
and the ItemController
in to ListView::addItem()
, or just pass in ItemView
and expose an instance method such as ItemView::getController()
Or doesn't it matter? Is each approach equally viable? If followed to their logical conclusion, does either tactic result in an anti-pattern?

Found October 25, 2012 on
Throw The Flag:
According to TMZ, the honey badger aka Tyrann Mathieu was arrested for drugs. TMZ reports that Mathieu had this on his record:
According to the police report, cops were called to an apartment around 3:30 PM after an alleged confrontation. When officers arrived to the scene, Honey Badger answered the door … and cops say they could smell a strong odor of weed.
Tyrann Mathieu of the LSU Tigers has apparently struggled with drugs in his past and he went to rehab to get clean. This is either a terrible report or the honey badger really does need to get clean. We all hope that he can turn his life around and make it in the pros. Godspeed Tyrann.
Honey Badger and Jefferson were charged with simple possession of marijuana. Hatcher was charged with 2nd Offense Simple Possession of Marijuana and Bryant was charged with Possession With Intent to Distribute Marijuana.

A classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
Unlike many of the positive thinking books that attempt to woo the reader into believing that optimism is the answer to life's ills, this well-researched book explains optimism and pessimism, how they originate and their pros and cons. It is an excellent book and should be read by all who want to understand these issues. I recommend two books in addition to this marvellous book. The first is Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self, a practical how-to book to show you how to resolve your emotions and make the most of every situation. The second book is Serious Creativity which shows you how to generate options, particularly when you are stuck.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating and well, optmistic,
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book that leaves the reader feeling, well, optimistic. Optimism means "having a strong expectation that, in general, things will turn out all right in life, despite setbacks and frustrations." Dr. Seligman goes further and defines optimism in terms of how people explain to themselves their success and failures. Everyone experiences failure at some point in their lives. What differentiates the optimist from the pessimist is a person's ability to see their failures as due to some factor or circumstance that is changeable rather than as a result of some personal defect that they feel powerless to change.
Learned Optimism is an interesting read for those who want a deeper understanding of how to achieve and help others attain states of happiness, success and better health. The material was enjoyable to read and share with others. I will definitely use these practical and easy to use strategies with myself, my clients and my children. The focus on positive self-talk and recognizing a person's strengths is much more appealing and instructive than other books which magnify weaknesses and try to "fix" a person. I highly recommend this important book as well as Dr. Seligman's website [...] which is an excellent resource for free assessments and positive psychology information.

He's optimistic about optimism!,
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
Learned optimism
When Martin Seligman deliver his APA presidential address, I was in the back of the room. His ideas were radical -- too radical for some therapists, who began walking out. These days Seligman's ideas reach beyond the research community and we can all gain. Here's the basic thesis. When rats receive shock after shock, and nothing they do prevents future shocks, they learn to be helpless. They just give up. Dogs exhibit the same behavior and so do people. However, not all people -- and, for that matter, not all rats -- succumb. With people, Seligman has learned, thinking style is the moderator, i.e,. the differentiator between those who give up and those who keep going. At first I seem an unlikely person to read this book, let alone recommend it. I'm known as irreverent, cynical and "cantankerous," as one reader said. However, Seligman defines an optimistic style by the way we respond to adverse events. Optimists see them as specific rather than pervasive, transient rather than permanent, and caused by factors outside oneself. In that sense, I might qualify! I recommend this book because it is important to understand that thinking style can outweigh other predictors of success. His stories with insurance sales representatives and athletes are persuasive. One insurance company found that an optimistic style can compensate for lower aptitude, as measured by their traditional test. Seligman also acknowledges that an optimistic style will not always be appropriate. When facing high risk, it's better to err on the side of pessimism. Indeed, he says, some occupations tend to attract and reward those who are mildly pessimistic. On the downside, I found I could not relate to the tests in the book. Example: The next step is to explore the ways our society and institutions foster a sense of helplessness. Seligman encourages us to get a medical exam if we've experienced many losses, yet the medical profession often encourages us to feel helpless. Taking a pill, which requires getting a prescription, gives all control to the doctor. Schools, prisons and other governmental institutions teach people they're wrong - and often labels students or inmates as "C student" or "bad person." And while Seligman says we can all learn to be optimists ,every psychological relationship has limits. In today's economy, when people get knocked down over and over again, are they learning to be pessimists? And can they learn a new style of thinking? Finally, couldn't someone be a pessimist in some life domains and an optimist in others? These questions may be too much to ask of a book destined for a popular audience.

More of a "why..." than a "how to..." book.,
By Renaaah "Renaaah" (Bronxville, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
This was a fairly interesting read. Seligman spends 80% of the book discussing what he has discovered about learned optimism over the years, and what other researchers have found on the subject. All of this information helps build an strong case for the idea that we humans can, and should, learn to be more optimistic.
That being said, I gave this book such a low rating because I feel that the title is completely misleading. I didn't want to read all sorts of information about WHY changing my mind and life is important and possible. I wanted to learn HOW, and that's what the title promises. To be sure, there are some suggestions of how to learn optimism, but such little space in the book is dedicated to this topic that I felt misled and "ripped off" by the title. It's like reading a book called "Instructions for Knitting a Sweater for your Baby" and discovering that only the last chapter is in fact instructive; the first 100 pages are about the history of knitting, the need for babies to wear sweaters, what happens to those poor babies who don't wear sweaters, and why the author considers himself to be the best darn knitter in the entire county. Enough already!

learned optimism,
By xyz (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
I found the book to be difficult to read and comprehend (and I am fairly intelligent person). There is all kind of unnecessary detail about various psychology philosophies, stories about other psychologists nothing to do with the subject at hand, lots of anecdotes which again have nothing to do with the subject. There are self testing questionaires for "pessimism" which are useful. There is too much info described too bluntly for "self diagnosis" of severe depression and other personality traits which would, in my opinion, put an already depressed person into deeper depression rather than inspire him to seek help (I am not a psychologist but I am an MD). The section that actually deals with changing pessimism to optimism is only about 50 pages out of more than 300 page book. The gist of the book can perhaps be summarised in less than 10 pages.
I did not find the book to be even readable (but I still read it).

***** for self-help, 0* for scholarship,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
This book starts by demonstrating that animals can learned to be helpless. Seligman then goes on to examine the explanation styles that people have and how these beliefs affect the way they behave.
Generally speaking the first part of the book, which is dedicated to the differences in explanatory styles is quite interesting. The section also contains a couple of self-test to measure your own level of optimism and your level of depression. I should say in passing that it is somewhat regrettable that the portion that shows readers how to change their explanatory styles is at the back of the book rather than immediately following the test results. I say that because chronic pessimist/depressive people like myself (I scored abysmally on both test) might be tempted to give up and kill themselves before they find out that the author actually tries to help them feel better. The portion at the back (learn how to be an optimism) constists of simple but undeniably effective tricks to change your way of thinking. All is consistent with "mood therapy" "cognitive psychology" types of similar works. While there is no question that Seligman in on to something with his theory on optimism, he tries to use it to death by applying to just about everything including politics, society and history. Through history, there has been no shortage of philosophers who attempted to use one basic principle to explain society. Be it weather (Montesquieu), atoms (atomist Greek philosophy) or the evolution, it generally turn out to produce simplistic and poor scholarship. That kind of explanation also hides (although rather poorly) a deep sense of ethnocentrism. If Seligman seriously think that one can explain voters' choices on the sole base of the optimistic/pessimistic profile of the candidates, I hope for him he is smoking good crack. What is more worrysome is his complete lack of understanding of basic concepts such as society, ideology and culture. For instance, one chapter is a comparison of East and West German media. Not only does it leave out important questions (such as how are the media produced and how closely do they reflect the readers' view)but what about ideology. Well of course, you'd expect a communist regime to give less weighting to individual agency in their explanation of events. Duh! At any rate the chapter explains nothing since his theories would have us expect that more optimistic group perform better which is not the case. Personnally, I would have preferred a much shorter self-help book devoid of Seligman's naive positivist supertheories. It is a shame because in the end, his book could have raised good questions.

I'm trying to learn to be optimistic - at least constructive,
By "rouxprof" (Natick MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Paperback)
OK, so many people recommend this book that I decided to try it. Friends are always telling me I'm too negative, pessimistic, unhappy, or whatever. Maybe the second time through I'll start becoming optimistic. Or maybe it is true that some people are not meant to be optimists ... To cover that possibility, I'm re-reading side-by-side, The Positive Power of Negative Thinking by Julie Norem. Will I start to show Norem's "constructive pessimism" or Seligman's "learned optimism" I wonder? Either way, I'll continue to be feeling better, I think. The argument that there are individual differences in personality, and therefore no single ideal of psychological health fits all people, makes sense to me. So I'll keep exploring the best psychology books.

Excellent book on depression and how to heal it,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life (Vintage) (Kindle Edition)
This is an excellent book on depression and its causes. The author includes a great deal of readable information on his and other scientist's research to back up his hypothesis about the causes of most depression (excluding manic despression). I found it quite enlightening.

The National Institute on Media & the Family (NIMF) released its 13th-annual videogame report card this week , and the "grades" are better, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "In the past, the report has criticized video-gamemakers and given grades – often low – on how their products affect children. But this year, the grades are up and the tone is conciliatory." The reason, says the Institute, is that most of its past policy recommendations have been implemented by the gaming industry – for example, parental controls for the three main consoles and more accurate game ratings. The NIMF also warns parents against game addiction in this year's report, Gamasutra reports (see also "Don't just take away the Xbox: Psychiatrist's view"). Further NIMF coverage in the Washington Post leads with the year's worst game content.

Artisan: Noah's Ark
In the 1980s there were no fair trade opportunities for local artisans in Moradabad, India. Skilled craftspeople were routinely taken advantage of by export companies operating in the area, and living wages were nearly impossible to come by. Local businessman Samuel Masih saw an opportunity to build a business that would reward artisans with fair wages while exporting beautiful handicrafts. He started Noah's Ark in his home in 1986 with the goal of creating new economic opportunity in the community.
Two years later, Noah's Ark entered the world stage with its first large order from a florist in the U.S. Soon other large orders began flooding in, attracting the attention of the Tear Fund, Artisanat-SEL, Goed Werk, TEAM, and Oxfam Australia, which contributed to even more growth. Today, Noah's Ark works with more than 100 artisan groups involving more than 600 people in Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad and Amritsar, paying 10-15% more than other companies in those areas. In 2000, the Noah's Handicrafts and Welfare Society was founded to benefit artisan welfare, children's education, community development, and social work.
Artisan Anwar Saleem, age 27, is a second-generation lantern and lamp maker. His parents died when he was only 18, leaving him responsible for his three younger siblings. He went to work for his uncle, learning the craft of coloring and lacquering lanterns. Unfortunately, his uncle was unable to pay him a living wage and the family suffered. After a couple of years, Anwar was able find employment with Noah's Ark. The fair wages Anwar received turned his family's life around. As he explains, "While working directly with Noah's Ark I was able to save good enough money to do my family responsibilities, then they encouraged me to do some manufacturing work from my home. I got married and also I was able to do marriages of my sisters." Anwar now has his own workshop with seven regular employees and 15 contracted artisans.

I found this pretty floral fabric in the form of curtains and felt it must live again. I drafted the pattern myself, and it is similar to my blue vintage-inspired floral dress, but with a twist. It has a triangular cut-out on the back, with clear buttons and an invisible zip. I really like this feminine style of dress complete, of course, with a lace collar ;)

The Tomorrow People: CW remake cult British 1970s sci-fi series
Mathew Wace Peck
Nov 14, 2012 in
Mathew Wace Peck
The people behind Arrow and The Vampire Diaries are to remake the British cult seventies science-fiction drama series, The Tomorrow People.
Greg Berlanti and Julie Plec will act as executive producers on the show, which will be written by Phil Klemmer (
According to Deadline
, the pair "have been chasing the rights to
The Tomorrow People
for more than a decade, finally tracking them down to FremantleMedia, which rarely licenses its formats to other studios".
Freemantle were impressed
by " [them and their] passion for the project [making] an exception".
Deadline says
that Freemantle will act in a co-producing capacity on the show.

The Tomorrow People
was originally created by Roger Price in the early 1970s for Thames Television, as ITV's response to
Doctor Who
, the BBC science-fiction drama series. It launched in 1973, during
Doctor Who
's tenth anniversary year.
Predating the ideas in
– the Syfy science-fiction drama series starring David Strathairn as Dr Lee Rosen –
The Tomorrow People
features evolved human beings – or
Homo superior
– who have special psychic powers, use advanced "biotronic" (biological) technology, and can teleport (or "jaunt" in TP-speak). The rest of humankind were referred to by the Tomorrow People (or "TPs") as "Saps", as in "
Homo sapiens
Pretty humans
The term "
Homo superior
" was developed during a conversation between Price and David Bowie. Bowie wrote the term into his song "Oh! You Pretty Things": "Let me make it plain. You gotta make way for the
Homo superior
Throughout the stories, the TPs would always be on the lookout for new TPs "breaking out", helping them through the difficult process. They are connected to the so-called Galactic Federation, which oversees the welfare of telepathic species throughout the galaxy.
At the series start, existing TPs John (their leader), Carol (Sammie Winmill), and Kenny (Stephen Salmon) help Stephen (Peter Vaughan-Clarke), a schoolboy just starting to "break out". Their base – known as "the lab" – is a disused station in the London Underground that includes their biotronic computer TIM, voiced by Philip Gilbert.
The make-up of the Tomorrow People team changed during its six-year run – though the characters played by Young and Gilbert remained throughout. Other TPs included Elizabeth (Elizabeth Adare), Mike (Mike Holloway), Tyso (Dean Lawrence), Hsui Tai (Misako Koba), Andrew (Nigel Rhodes).
The Tomorrow People
was re-imagined
in 1992 – now featuring Adam (Kristian Schmid), Megabyte (Christian Tessier), Kevin (Adam Pearce), Lisa (Kristen Ariza), Ami (Naomie Harris) and Jade (Alexandra Milman). Prior to this update, Schmid played ToddLanders in the long-running Australian soap opera,
. Harris, meanwhile, can currently be seen playing Eve Moneypenny in
, the latest Jame Bond movie starring Daniel Craig and directed by Sam Medes.
However, and despite being produced by Price, this update was not as successful, fans complaining that it bore little resemblance to the original Tomorrow People concept.
Tomorrow's finish
A third incarnation of the show was realized in by Big Finish in the early 2000s – this time as an audio-only series but, crucially, returning to the show's roots. As well as the creation of new characters, Elena and Paul – played by Helen Goldwyn and Daniel Wilson, respectively – John and Tim returned, once again played by Nicholas Young and Philip Gilbert. Trevor Littledale later took over the voice of TIM following Gilbert's death. Other former cast members made return appearances, too, notably Peter Vaughan-Clarke (Stephen), Elizabeth Adare (Elizabeth) and Mike Holoway (Mike).
Many of the writers of the audio series are well known to
Doctor Who
universe, including Gary Russell (
The Sarah Jane Adventures
), Joseph Lidster (
) and Gareth Roberts (
Doctor Who
Team Tomorrow
Berlanti is the co-creator of The CW's action-adventure TV series

stars Stephen Amell (

Doctor Who
regular John Barrowman.
Plec, meanwhile, is an executive producer and head writer of the channel's supernatural drama series, The Vampire Diaries, which has been running since 2009.
The CW launched in 2006. It is a joint venture between CBS and Warner Bros., deriving its name from the initial initials of those two organisations.
Other fantasy/science-fiction dramas broadcast by the station include the long-running series

Market guide | Zillow predicts 01960 home values will rise 3% next year, compared to a 3.1% increase for Peabody as a whole. Among 01960 homes, this home is valued 9.3% more than the midpoint (median) home, but is valued 29.6% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the 01960 market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold decreased 11.8% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 1.8% greater than in Peabody, and 66.1% less than the national average. This higher local number may prevent 01960 home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Peabody. Learn more about forecast calculations or 01960 home values.… MoreLess |

My name is Mark.
I'm living in Toronto, Canada with my wonderful wife and two daughters. We love to travel, especially in Europe! We would like to rent while traveling.
Thank you,
Do not rent to this guest. This is a read flag this person will be looking for every excuse to stay at your place for free.
Response from Mark: Such review was pretty much expected after I placed my honest review to the property Miyoko rented. I did use AirBnb before and paid thousands of dollars for that. I never had a single complaint there. Never asked for my money back. Because it was always on the proper level of accommodation. This lady rented me a place which was extremely dirty with cockroaches all over the place. Completely unsanitary conditions. I am not mentioning numerous other deficiencies there. She readily refunded me 3rd of the price and tried to relocate me to other places as she understood how bad it was. But she failed to find us anything suitable... I only can wish her good luck and hope other renters will not have their vacation spoiled by visiting places such as Miyoko was able to offer us.
I know Mark for a very long time, working with him side by side for over 5 years and being friends all that time. I can recommend him to anyone as one of the neatest, most polite, well-mannered and organized people I've met in my life. Being invited to his home, I always met warm and comfy atmosphere and friendly smiles of every member of his family. Having Mark as your guest will make it a nice family vacation for both tenant and the host :) Kind regards, Val

Kanakomyrtus (Myrtaceae): A New Endemic Genus from New Caledonia with Linear Stigma Lobes and Baccate Fruits
Author: Snow, Neil
Source: Systematic Botany, Volume 34, Number 2, April-June 2009 , pp. 330-344(15)
Publisher: American Society of Plant Taxonomists
Kanakomyrtus (Myrtaceae) is a newly described genus endemic to New Caledonia. Kanakomyrtus myrtopsidoides , the generic type, is transferred from Eugenia. Five new species are described: K. mcphersonii , K. revoluta , K. dawsoniana , K. prominens , and K. longipetiolata . The genus occurs in forests at elevations between 500–1,600 m on the relatively mesic windward side of the Grande Terre. It is distinct from other baccate genera of Myrtaceae by a combination of linear stylar lobes, densely glandular stamens and stigmas, and a short but densely hoary indumentum that is brownish when dry. The thinly membranous partitions that partially extend between the seeds of some species suggest a close relationship to Archirhodomyrtus and some species traditionally placed in Rhodomyrtus and Octamyrtus. Four of the six species have unisexual flowers, but much additional field work is needed to assess the reproductive biology of the genus. Following IUCN guidelines, four species are proposed as either Endangered or Critically Endangered, whereas the remaining species are considered Vulnerable and of Low Concern. Species descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and keys to species of the genus and related taxa of baccate Myrtaceae from New Caledonia are included.Keywords: CONSERVATION; KANAKOMYRTUS; MYRTACEAE; NEW CALEDONIA; OCTAMYRTUS; RHODOMYRTUS; SYSTEMATICS

One of my personal favorites across the US. Jump right in and go for the triple cheeseburger with all the toppings. You'll be back again for seconds. Read more
Chicken pincho w garlic mayo n chicken quesadillas r my fave! They also have chicken empanadas but you have to ask for them as they are not on the menu. Beef ones r great but make sure they are fresh!
Finally coming back to the site of one of my favorite burger adventures. http://chbr.gr/jcb
Mix 1/2 spicy sauce with 1/2 garlic sauce and shake it up in one of the little sauce containers. Serious!
By far the best burger I've ever had. Try the "pink" sauce with your fries, it's awesome!
Mix burger is the best. You get best of both worlds. Beef patty and chicken!
I have never had a burger like this anywhere and I have to say it is the best tasting burger I have ever had.
Screw burgers, if I go to a Colombian spot I'll get la Arepa mixta!!!!!!!! And be sure to get some garlic sauce with it.....mouthwatering!
A little pricey, but very good. Get a burger with everything! The most unique burger I have ever tasted!
On Friday and Saturday nights after the bars close be sure to CALL IN your order BEFORE you arrive... if not, be ready to WAIT about 30 to 45min for your food to be ready. It's a pain in the ass!
Pincho de pollo/chicken churrasco with fried yellow potatoes. Maizito de pollo/corn with cheese
Single burger with everything on it with EXTRA pineapple sauce, EXTRA pink sauce, &BBQ sauce. Live a little, it will be the best decision of your life
The meat in the burgers seems to have gotten smaller but still tasty like always.

The West High School Foundation (WHSF)
Dear West High School families and friends,
These committed funds total over $34,000, and our year is just over half over. Each of these areas is vital to the continued excellence of WHS. The conferences and seminars help our teachers to meet regionally or nationally with peers and experts in their fields. These enhance them with new information to bring back to the West community. The need for the calculus stipend became imperative at the beginning of school due to the loss of an integral part of our math department. The Foundation is supplementing the cost for one of our full-time teachers to teach an extra class above and beyond her regular class load. Technologically, we are always in desperate need of expertise especially with education becoming more and more computerized. This demand will only increase; however, much of the cost of increased technical assistance is largely the responsibility of each individual school. Lastly, we have been very pleased to award grants for certain equipment and educational supplies this year. Mr. Eng was awarded a new 3-D printer for the Art Department. Ms. Nelson was awarded $3200 towards new lighting for the auditorium. Mr. Davis was given funds to go towards new risers. Mr. Lumpkin was given $2600 for new band instruments. Graphing notebooks and calculators (250) were awarded to the math department. These are all funds that the Foundation has been able to award due to the generosity of our donors.

The good bacteria
ose Clifford is eating lots of yogurt for her gastrointestinal health. Doctors diagnosed her as having helicobacter pylori bacteria, which is implicated as one of the major causes of gastric ulcers.
Along with prescription medication, she is trying to crowd out the bad bacteria with live and active cultures, or probiotics, which are found in yogurt, she says.
"Antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria," says Ms. Clifford, who is a research nutritionist at MedStar Research Institute in Southeast. She is a registered and licensed dietitian. "Probiotics help restore the normal balance to the gastrointestinal tract."
Many doctors say probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, can be used to improve digestion and overall health. The World Health Organization defines probiotics as "live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." People can consume probiotics through dietary supplements, or foods, such as yogurt.
"There is a lot of bacteria on your skin, mouth and GI tract," Ms. Clifford says. "It all plays a role in people's health. It helps to keep the intestinal tract healthy. It acts like a barrier, to keep good things in and bad things out. It absorbs nutrients."
Probiotics have been known to have anti-diarrheal effects, she says. Also, some women might take probiotics to help prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections.
Because probiotic strands are unstable, they are only present in a few foods, such as yogurt and kefir, a fermented milk drink. When the food products and dietary supplements are refrigerated, it helps to extend their shelf life, she says.
While probiotics are sold as dietary supplements, yogurt not only has probiotics, but also nutritional benefits, says Robert Garfield, senior vice president of the National Yogurt Association in McLean.
The yogurt with the biggest health benefits has a seal on the package stating: "live and active cultures," he says.
"That means it has 100 million live and active cultures per gram at the time of production," Mr. Garfield says.
Although all yogurts are made with standardized cultures, such as lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus, the yogurt with the most live and active cultures after production is marked with the organization's seal, he says.
Additional cultures also can be added to the yogurt during production, he says. Many yogurts have strands of acidophilus, bifidus and casei.
When the seal is present, it also means that 38 days after production, another test takes place to measure the cultures in the product and see if they will grow, he says.
"At the end of shelf life, there can be no guarantee that there will be 100 million cultures in there," Mr. Garfield says. "We recommend 10 million. Most testing shows there are at least 10 million at the end of shelf life."
Although yogurt has nutritional benefits, sometimes specialized dietary supplements are a helpful route, says Jordan Rubin, founder and chief executive officer of Garden of Life, based in West Palm Beach, Fla. He is the author of "The Maker's Diet" and a naturopathic practitioner.
However, not all dietary supplements are created equal, he says. In 1996, when trying to recover from Crohn's disease, he says he took bottles of probiotics and didn't get any better. Taking homeostatic soil organisms, which are beneficial bacteria found in dirt, finally worked the best for him. This included microorganisms from the bacilli family and saccharomyces, a friendly yeast.
"I started to see a change pretty quickly," Mr. Rubin says. "Around day 30, I started to feel better. In 12 weeks, I went from death to life, more or less."
At the time, he was taking the equivalent of 12 capsules a day of Primal Defense, a probiotic formula he developed and sells through his company, Garden of Life. It has powdered vegetable extracts and organic plant-based minerals, along with homeostatic soil organisms.
After starting the regimen, he says he actually started feeling much worse before he started to feel better as his body went through an initial detox period.
"I always said, 'Whatever helps me, I'm going to help the world with it,' " Mr. Rubin says. "It started with me stocking shelves at a health food store."
Probiotics can help treat a myriad of conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome and constipation, Mr. Rubin says. He estimates that 70 percent of the immune system is in the gut-associated lymphatic tissue. Therefore, strengthening the gut helps to strengthen the overall immune system, Mr. Rubin says.
Despite what supporters say, unless someone has taken a long regimen of antibiotics, it isn't usually necessary to recommend probiotics, says Ryan Andrews, dietitian and exercise physiologist at Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore.
"We have some people who swear by them," Mr. Andrews says. "They say, 'When I don't take the Activia drink, I don't feel right.' "
However, Mr. Andrews acknowledges that there are a lot of potential benefits from probiotics, but enough testing hasn't been completed to know the full effects, he says. Activia is a yogurt drink manufactured by Dannon.
"I read that they are testing out probiotics in infants, looking at the feeding tolerance," Mr. Andrews says. "I've read a couple studies that show that feeding tolerance is improved when they take a round of probiotics, using a liquid form of probiotic."
After patients have taken a round of antibiotics for urinary tract infections or sinus infections, it should be followed by a round of probiotics, says Dr. Ken Mirkin, chief of gastroenterology at Inova Fairfax in Falls Church.
"It's not a medication," Dr. Mirkin says. "It's treated as a food supplement. There isn't any FDA control. People have to read labels to see what they're getting. There are many different probiotics. Know what you are taking and why you are taking it."
Most patients need to take probiotics for three to four weeks in order for them to be effective, Dr. Mirkin says.
"If you increase the population of certain kinds of bacteria, it inhibits the growth of bad bacteria," Dr. Mirkin says. "They compete for the substrates and the food. It's survival of the fittest. If you pour in millions of colonies of good bacteria, the bad guys will not survive, just by sheer numbers."
