Guidecraft Classroom Unit Blocks - 390 Pieces
Item#: HN-ID437Price:
- 390 blocks in 30 shapes
- Solid Rubberwood resists dents and dings
- Smoothly sanded round edges are safer, splinter-free
- Guaranteed for life
- Good for motor skills, math, science, life skills and more
What's Included
390 Blocks
Nearly 400 blocks and a whole world of shapes will make the Guidecraft Classroom Unit Blocks - 390 Pieces the answer to what to do with a room full of eager, imaginative children. These solid Rubberwood blocks are offered in 30 different shapes and each one is finely sanded to be splinter-free and features rounded edges for added safety.
What blocks can do for your child ...
Motor skills:
Playing with blocks is all about perception and eye-hand coordination. This is an excellent way to work on their fine motor skills. You could also create a small stack of blocks or an obstacle course that your child could climb over or navigate through to enhance their gross motor skills.
Use blocks to show patterns of shape or color or demonstrate units of measure. Stack a tower 6 blocks high and show your child the difference between and one that's 4 blocks high. How many are left when you take two away?
Physics basics are easily demonstrated through block play. Show your child inclined planes and levers or build two different structures and see how different foundations withstand an "earthquake".
Life skills
A group of children playing together with blocks is an excellent opportunity to teach sharing and teamwork. Clean-up time will be another learning opportunity.

Re: (solved) Autocomplete TextFields: How can you get it to work?
17 March 2011 at 10:45am
Hi there,
I just found out that some errors found their way into the log - happened when I indeed renamed the AutoCompleteField class to BalbusAutoCompleteField to fix the conflict with the existing SilverStripe AutoCompleteField, but failed to correct all occurances of the fieldname in the documentation. Real sorry about thatThe only thing you need to change is the name of the files to BalbusAutocompleteField.php and BalbusAutocompleteField.js and then create the field by its proper name:
$fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Content.Main', array(
new BalbusAutocompleteField(
$name = 'MyField',
$title = 'Enter a value'
));And no, you don't have to do it that way, any correct way of adding a formfield to the CMS should do. Let me know if you run into any new problems...
Re: (solved) Autocomplete TextFields: How can you get it to work?
17 March 2011 at 12:21pm
Okay, after changing all instances of 'autocompletefield' to 'balbusautocompletefield', that seemed to resolve the conflicts, I can confirm the correct code is being run accordingly. However I am now back to where I was before: The autosuggest cannot seem to find anything
EG: i type in 'pa' which should pick up 'paris' from this list:
function suggest() {
$return_arr = array(
array('value' => 'London'),
array('value' => 'Paris'),
array('value' => 'Rome')
return json_encode($return_arr);
}The result is just a long stream of unanswered GET requests, but perhaps that is normal behavior if the autosuggest naturally cannot find a reference list to suggest from?

My suspicions were correct. The function 'suggest()' is not being executed and therefor the autosuggest has no reference list to begin with.
Not sure why at this point but that explains quite a bit.
Add this:
user_error("breakpoint:", E_USER_ERROR);
inside the suggest() function. Does it successfully break for you?EDIT:
"The url adds the url segment suggest to the AutocompleteField's link, using it as a simulated page url with param Action=Suggest. This automatically calls the AutocompleteField's suggest() method."
Well it seems the correct url is being outputted (It returns a 404 if it wasn't) but it cannot access suggest() anyway. maybe there are permissions in the way or the redirect rules are screwing up the url. Either way something is stopping the url from calling suggest()
Direct links (EG: $attributes['src'] = 'bookingmanager/code/balbusautocompletefield/suggest';) don't work either, damn

I know this is only a very basic autocomplete field. Thanks for your comments - it does set me to working on this thing again - and I did find a couple of issues So if you are willing to take this a step further, this would be the first test:
Preferrably on a fresh install, in the Page class add:
public static $db = array(
'Test' => 'Varchar'
);function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();...
$fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Content.Autocomplete', array(
new BalbusAutocompleteField (
$name = 'Test',
$title = 'Autocomplete testfield'
));return $fields;
}In the BalbusAutoCompleteField.php replace the suggest method by:
function suggest() {
$items = array(
array('value' => 'London'),
array('value' => 'Paris'),
array('value' => 'Rome')
return json_encode($items);
}Log in to your admin. Then do a /dev/build/?flush=1
Now if you go to the following url (replace the path to your admin section):
It should return something like:
Please let me know...

Basic is good for me, I can't deal with anything extremely sophisticated right now. If I can't get autocomplete working soon my boss will start asking me questions. So yes lets take this a step further.
I followed the instructions: modified page.php, logged into the admin, ran dev/build and entered the URL.
The result was a blank page with some cryptic "I can't let you do that, Dave" message on it. My log outputted this: 'Unknown column 'Page.Test' in 'field list' (http://[root]/admin)" so I don't think I did that right. I'll try that again.
meanwhile my previous code in my module has just decided it wants to be broken. Now it tells me this: "TypeError: jQuery(this).autocomplete is not a function".
I tried again, this time ensuring that I had the updated code from www.balbus.tk and I used a brand new server with nothing else on it.
function setSourceClass($classname) {
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: setSourceClass('.$className.')'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
$this->sourceClass = $classname;
* set the sourcefield
function setSourceField($fieldname) {
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: setSourceField('.$fieldName.')'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
$this->sourceField = $fieldname;
* Override the existing TextField method and add
* the jQuery requirements and the new field ettributes:
* src - url called by ajax to retrieve the suggestions
* autocomplete - flag setting autocompletion 'on' or 'off'
function Field() {
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: Field()'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
// Note: sometimes loading new JavaScripts in the CMS
// will not work. Looks like the assets/_CombinedFiles
// are the culprits (in that case just remove them)// Get jQuery from SilverStripe thirdparty
THIRDPARTY_DIR . '/jquery/jquery.js'
);// Get the UI from Google (the SilverStripe way)
);// NEW: Since inline JavaScript isn't loaded by jQueryOnDemand,
// an external file is needed to set things in motion:
);// altered 'text' class to 'text AutocompleteField'
$attributes = array(
'type' => 'text',
'class' => 'text AutocompleteField ' . ($this->extraClass()? $this->extraClass(): ''),
'id' => $this->id(),
'name' => $this->Name(),
'value' => $this->Value(),
'tabindex' => $this->getTabIndex(),
'maxlength' => ($this->maxLength) ? $this->maxLength : null,
'size' => ($this->maxLength) ? min( $this->maxLength, 30 ) : null
);if($this->disabled) $attributes['disabled'] = 'disabled';
// NEW: add een attribute to enable autocompletion
$attributes['autocomplete'] = 'on';// NEW: add a sourceClass/sourcefield, if there is one
$querystring = http_build_query(array(
'sclass' => $this->sourceClass,
'sfield' => $this->sourceField
), '', '&');// NEW: add the current link with the Action=suggest
// parameter added as a new src parameter
$attributes['src'] =
parse_url($this->Link(),PHP_URL_PATH) . '/suggest?' . $querystring;// Create the tag
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: creating Tag: '.http_build_query($attributes)), SS_Log::NOTICE);
return $this->createTag('input', $attributes);
}function suggest() {
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: suggest()'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
$items = array(
array('value' => 'London'),
array('value' => 'Paris'),
array('value' => 'Rome')
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Autocomplete: suggesting: '.implode($items)), SS_Log::NOTICE);
return json_encode($items);
alert("autocomplete running");
BalbusAutocompleteField = Class.create();
alert("class create failed: "+exception);
alert("class apply failed: "+exception);
BalbusAutocompleteField.prototype = {
// initialize Autocomplete fields
initialize: function() {
// only initialize once
if (!this.strSource){
// get source string src attribute
this.strSource = jQuery(this).attr('src');
alert("autocomplete source found: "+this.strSource);
// remove src attribute from the textfield
jQuery(this).attr('src', '');
// jQuery Autocomplete
source: this.strSource,
minLength: 2
alert("autocomplete failed: "+exception);
alert("autocomplete end");
} else {
alert("source not found");
public static $db = array(
'Test' => 'Varchar'
);public static $has_one = array(
);function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();$fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Content.Autocomplete', array(
new BalbusAutocompleteField (
$name = 'Test',
$title = 'Autocomplete testfield'
));return $fields;
}The link to http://[root]/admin/EditForm/field/Test/suggest?term=par definitely returns the following message:
"I can't handle sub-URLs of a Form object."

new test case: I created two files in my fresh install of silverstripe
class Test extends Page {
}class Test_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public static $allowed_actions = array(
function init() {
function index()
return $this->renderWith('testform');
function Form(){
SS_Log::log(new Exception('Rendering dummy form'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
$fields = new FieldSet(
new BalbusAutocompleteField (
$name = 'Test',
$title = 'Autocomplete testfield'
// Create action
$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('dummy', 'Submit')
$form = new Form($this, 'DummyForm', $fields, $actions);
return $form;
function link() {
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//put jquery directly into here to try and force it
<style>#formbox {width: 600px; padding: 15px; border: solid;}</style>
<div id="formbox">
Director::addRules(100, array(
'test' => 'Test_Controller'
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
SS_Log::add_writer(new SS_LogFileWriter(Director::baseFolder() . '/error_log.txt'), SS_Log::ERR);
SS_Log::add_writer(new SS_LogFileWriter(Director::baseFolder() . '/error_log.txt'), SS_Log::NOTICE);
SS_Log::add_writer(new SS_LogFileWriter(Director::baseFolder() . '/error_log.txt'), SS_Log::WARN);
Director::set_environment_type("dev");navigate to [root]/test to see it work..or not work. The jquery does not appear to load with this configuration even though it closely imitates how my custom module uses forms. If I force the jquery in, it crashes on the first line.
The php seems to be working, it usually gets about as far as the Field function:
[18-Mar-2011 01:54:17] Notice at \mysite\code\Test_Controller.php line 29: Rendering dummy form
[18-Mar-2011 01:54:17] Notice at \mysite\code\BalbusAutocompleteField.php line 44: Autocomplete: Field()
[18-Mar-2011 01:54:17] Notice at \mysite\code\BalbusAutocompleteField.php line 101: Autocomplete: creating Tag: type=text&class=text+AutocompleteField+&id=Form_DummyForm_Test&name=Test&value=&autocomplete=on&src=DummyForm%2Ffield%2FTest%2Fsuggest%3Fsclass%3D%26sfield%3DTry it out, might help you find out why sometime it works and sometimes it does not.
Re: (solved) Autocomplete TextFields: How can you get it to work?

OK - this is getting a bit complex... Again, I worked on the thing , and added an alternative fully jQuery BalbusAutocomplete.js javascript, that does support the field in the frontend - at least for me (bottom of the source page).
Please check out this example, and let me know if it works for you (type auto into the field)
http://www.balbus.tk/autocompletefield-example/If you still can't get yours to work, I'll see if I can put together a small module for you to download and install. Are you looking to use the field in your CMS or frontend?
Re: (solved) Autocomplete TextFields: How can you get it to work?
19 March 2011 at 1:02am Last edited: 19 March 2011 1:09am
FrontEnd only
I will be coding in the autocompletefields exactly how I did in my test case: seperate pages and controllers physically located in mysite or another module
The example on your site seems to work perfectly, its just what I need! Now if only I could figure out why my own module doesn't like it.
If you can package the source code of that into a separate module, I'll run it on a fresh blank copy of sapphire on my home PC. If it works on the webserver I'm running at home and not at the one at work I can narrow down the problem to just conflicts or dependencies at my work webserver.

Eminem remarries his ex-wife four years after divorcing her
By Suzy Austin, Metro 16 January 2006 Eminem has remarried his former wife - more than four years after the couple's divorce and custody battle. The rap star's relationship with Kimberly Mathers is known to have inspired some of his most violent and controversial work. He fantasised about the '(expletive deleted)' death in his 2000 hit, Kim, but admitted in the chorus: 'I don't wanna go on living in this world without you.' Eminem, 33, arrived for his wedding in a limousine, wearing a red baseball hat and a white tuxedo. About 80 friends and family were invited to the ceremony, at a stately home near the couple's home town of Detroit on Saturday. Guests - including rapper 50 Cent and his hip-hop group G-Unit, membersof D12 and Obie Trice - had to go through strict security checks after invitations were leaked on the Internet. D12's Proof was best man and New York DJ Lord Sear provided the music for the reception. Eminem, who sports a 'Kim: Rot in Pieces' tattoo on his chest, announced the couple's plans to reunite last month after coming out of drug rehab. 'We have reconciled and are probably going to re-marry,' Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers III, said. He first married high school sweetheart Kimberly Scott, 31, in 1999. Their daughter, Hailie, ten, became the subject of a bitter legal tussle when the couple divorced two years later.
This is the Cal Ripkin Jr. of typos. If you ask me to join your fantasy baseball league and I select Legolas in the first round, don't be angry at me. It's not my fault I've read up on the players and you haven't. |

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
Good stuff, over hyped
I really do love this moisturizer because I don't have to worry about anything possibly toxic, and it gives me the perfect amount of light and quickly absorbed moisture for my combo/oily skin. I use this at night and juice beauty's green apple spf 15 moisturizer in the AM, and the new burt's bees acne cleanser. These are the all natural products I have transitioned to, and am happy with the results so I'll be buying them again. As far as all the hype and advertising about this product, I am on my second bottle and haven't noticed any miracle results. Maybe if I still look 23 when I'm 40 I'll know if it worked ;) !

Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer SPF 15
my favorite so far
I have always hated the feel of any product with sunscreen in it, but I love this stuff. It smells great, doesn't clog up or make my oily skin any worse. My favorite thing about it of course is the purity of the ingredients. The only reason this product doesn't get a ten is that you do have to powder your t-zone a little from the shine it add (normal I guess) and mostly the price :( .

Avalon Organics Lavender Nourishing Shampoo
Works, but there's better out there
I got the costco sized bottle, so I don't mind having to use three pumps of this stuff to wash my long hair, but there are products that you can use less of and are far more nourishing as well. good to try, but won't be buying again, and that goes double for the matching condition that doesn't do anything for you.

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Refreshing Cleansing Gel
not drying at all
I found this to remove make up, and cleanse my oily-combo skin without drying it out completely. I wish this line included a bodywash that would do the same thing!
April 28, 2009
Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF 15
not long lasting, just sticky
I got a sample of this, and the sheer color is really great. It has just the right amount of gloss and sparkle to the way it looks, but feels very sticky and does not make it through a single kiss or drink of water. Quite the dissapointment.
April 28, 2009
not my favorite
I got a sample and tried it right away. I always curls my eyelashes, and when I use this mascara they go right back to being stick straight again. Although the definition is really good and I didn't get any clumping, I won't be buying this anytime soon.
April 28, 2009
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
it works
i got this after trying a friends while getting ready for a night of dancing. After sweating it in clubs all night, my eyeshadow was still in place. this has a really great creamy and smooth texture too.
April 28, 2009
Aveeno Positively Radiant Exfoliating Body Wash
moisturizing, finally
I bought this because it claimed to be moisturizing and yet gently exfoliate. Although I get much better exfoliation from my loofah scrubber, this surprisingly moisturizing. I feel like I could almost go without lotion! I recently tried clinique's body wash and did not find it moisturizing at all, then tried this one and it did the trick!

Sonia Kashuk Kashuk Tools Small Kabuki Brush
the only brush you will need!
I have had brushed in the past that have come with my mineral makeup, and the hairs are constantly falling out. This is not a problem with this brush. Not only is it incredible soft, and great quality, but ultra portable too. I use this for loose mineral foundation, loose blush, and finishing powder. It is the right size for the foundation and finishing powder, but still not to big for blush. Just perfect!
April 17, 2009
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
nice multi-tasker!
I decided to try the medium tinted version of this because it is paraben-free, as the untinted version is not. I am not a fan of most suncreen products because they are usual greasy and come with that terrible suncreen smell. This product lacks both those things, and is the perfect amount of light tint for everyday use. do be sure to apply in good lighting so you can bee sure it is well blended (I use clean fingers). I have not been using it for an extended period time, but took a before pic to see if any of my discoloration or acne scars fade from use. I used to use Estee Lauder's dailey mosturizer spf 30, and will trade it for this one since it provides the same benefits, a nice tint, and twice as much product for half the price!

It has been a long strange trip for the Nets, as the basketball team went from Teaneck, N.J. to Commack, Long Island, then West Hempstead, Nassau Coliseum, back to New Jersey in Piscataway, then the Meadowlands, Newark and finally Brooklyn. Two New Yorkers who were part of the team when it was in the former ABA League spoke with NY1's Budd Mishkin.
Not all of the places the Nets played looked like Brooklyn's new Barclays Center.
Back in the early 1970s, the Nets played in a place called Island Garden in West Hempstead, N.Y. Former Nets general manager Lou Carnesecca has frosty memories of the venue.
"The arena was the closest thing to the North Pole. Only place where you practice with coats on," says Carnesecca.
Carnesecca is known for his 24 seasons as coach at St. John's University, but he also spent three seasons leading the Nets, when the team was part of the American Basketball Association.
During that time, in 1971, Julius Erving had a shot to play with the Nets, when the player wanted to leave the University of Massachusetts, but Carnesecca said no.
"Which I think was a mistake. You tell a guy what a great player he is, and then when you try to pay him, you tell him, 'Maybe you're not that good,'" says Carnesecca. "He said, 'Coach, I don't want to go back. I'm going to sign.' At the time, taking a kid out of school, it was unheard of. It wasn't the smart thing to do."
Erving went on to eventually become the most famous Net in the team's ABA history.
One of Erving's teammates was another St. John's student, Billy Schaeffer, who went to Holy Cross High School in Flushing, Queens and played for the Nets for two-and-a-half seasons in the mid-1970s. He was part of the ABA championship team in 1974.
"The ball is always mentioned, ABA, red white and blue ball. As a shooter, I liked the ball, could see my rotation when I shot the ball," says Schaeffer.
Years later, as the NBA incorporated slam dunks and the three-point shot, Schaeffer saw the imprint of the ABA.
"More entertaining, more flash, more entertainment from players... the NBA eventually became what the ABA was," says Schaeffer.

It depends on your goals.
Simple question really. Do you let yourself go extremely hungry until it's time for your next scheduled meal, or do you feed the beast?
Personally if I get hungry less than an hour before my next meal is anyways, I let myself go, but if I get hungry literally an hour or hour and a half after my last meal, I'll eat something real small to make it to my next meal.
It depends on your goals.
I don't get extremely hungry on a 500 kilocalorie deficit so usually a non-issue.
If I want to push the envelope and do a couple of days at a 750-1000 deficit then I might pull some calories out of future meals to stop any serious cravings.
I never go hungry longer than 30min or so. If im trying to slim down I wont stuff myself but eat just enough to ease the pains. If you snack sensibly I dont see it being an issue unless your on a strict diet. Pretty much depending on your goal and trying to accomplish.
What do you guys use as a daily calorie calculator to figure out what your maintenance is?
I mean I can use 7 different ones and get 7 different answers, just wondering if there is a really great one, or great method that I somehow don't know about...?
I eat every 3 hours, so no
Psalm 34:10 - "The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."
EvoMuse Rep | This is what we've been workin on... | Inspire to Evolve
see that's what i'm saying. I eat 7 times a day, every 3 hours too. I try and portion every one of them out so that I end up just starting to get hungry again in 3 hours when it's time for my next meal. But if I get hungry literally an hour after my last meal, I don't let myself go starving for another 2 hours, I figure obviously that meal didn't have enough cals, and I eat something real small to make it til my next meal.
Psalm 34:10 - "The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."
EvoMuse Rep | This is what we've been workin on... | Inspire to Evolve
I've fasted for days earlier this month, just to try it. I've fasted for 1-3 days in the past. I've read fasting for a day or two can greatly increase overall insulin response.
I eat when im hungry simple enough obviously your body is in need of some sort of nutritents if it is hungry and its not good to go into starvation mode almost. Also when you start to get too hungry your body will burn muscle rather then fat from what ive heard. My reccomendation is eat when your hungry just adjust your meals for the rest of the day to meet your daily caloric totals.
I found with my diet i get hungry sometimes about 30-45min before my next meal and there 3hrs apart so i drink a cup of green tea and it takes my hunger away long enough.

The stock market has been pretty volatile lately as investors awoke to the realization that the Fed will ultimately 'taper' its QE program. Bond yields have surged and many international markets have tumbled as markets tried to guess the Fed's next move.
The Fed's statement after its Wednesday meeting and chairman Bernanke's press conference will hopefully provide some clarity regarding the future direction of the monetary policy. While it is quite unlikely that the Fed will actually dial down its bond purchases until the economic prospects pick up significantly, financial markets price in what they expect the Fed do in the future and not what the Fed is doing now.
Inventors should remember that market moves are often sudden as the sentiments change and though the long-term bullish trend for stocks appears to be intact for now, this may the right time for investors to position their ETF portfolios for an eventual tapering of the Fed's unprecedented support and pickup in economic growth.
Buy Growth Sector ETFs as the Economy Improves
Defensive sectors outperformed the broader market earlier this year but since last month,cyclical sectors have started surging ahead. As the economy shows further signs of improvement, more and more investors will move out of defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples and into cyclical sectors like technology and industrials. (Read: 3 Impressive Biotech ETFs Crushing the Market)
Dividend ETFs that were concentrated in defensive sectors—typically high dividend payers-- have also come under pressure. These ETFs had become somewhat expensive as investors continue to pour money into them the search of yield. While we still like dividends paying stocks and ETFs, the next winners in dividend ETFs will most likely be those focused on relatively attractively valued, high-growth cyclical sectors.
Technology and Finance companies have been dividend growth leaders in the last few years. Technology companies currently have a lot of cash on their balance sheets and will continue to generate large amounts of cash going forward too. Finance companies have also been on the mend and many of them got Fed approval to raise dividend after passing stress tests. (Read: Buy these ETFs for Excellent Dividend Growth)
Investor should consider Vanguard Financial ETF (VFH - ETF report), WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Growth ETF (DGRW - ETF report), Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT - ETF report) and Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI - ETF report).
Prepare for the Rise in Interest Rates
Due to concerns about the Fed finally scaling down its asset purchases, interest rates have been going up in the past three weeks. 10 year treasury yield touched 2.29% on June 11, the highest since April 2012. (Read: Forget Dividend ETFs; Focus on Buybacks instead)
Even though the tapering announcement from the Fed may not come in the next couple of meetings, the rates will likely continue to creep up. Thus, it may be a good idea to get rid of all long duration products in your portfolio, as they will be hurt the most in a rising interest rate environment.
Remember very short-term rates will stay low as long as the Fed maintains the fed funds at near zero levels--most likely till the second half of 2015, but the long-term interest rates will begin moving up as soon as market anticipates any likely change in the Fed's monetary policy.
Investors could consider switching to shorter duration products or products that provide protection against interest rate rise. Floating Rate ETFs like iShares Floating Rate Note Fund (FLOT - ETF report) and SPDR Barclays Capital Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (FLRN) have become increasingly popular with investors of late.
Investors should also look at Senior Loan ETFs like PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN - ETF report) and SPDR Blackstone / GSO Senior Loan ETF (SRLN - ETF report) that provide high yields and protection against the potential rise in interest rates.
Some Emerging Markets Look More Vulnerable than Others
Many international markets, in particular some of the popular emerging markets have tumbled in the last few weeks. Prospects of an economic recovery and higher interest rates in the US have led to the change in investor sentiment towards global markets.
Some of the emerging markets ETFs that had seen huge investor interest in recent months like Philippines (EPHE) , Indonesia (EIDO) and Thailand (THD) saw the worst sell-off. On the other some smaller emerging markets/frontier markets avoided the crash.
While the sell-off may not be over for now, it is unlikely to continue for a long time. In fact some markets have already started attracting some bargain investors. Emerging markers still have much better growth prospects than developed markets in the longer term. At the same time, some emerging markets look more vulnerable than others.
Emerging nations that are dependent to a large extent on commodity exports like Russia (ERUS - ETF report), Brazil (EWZ - ETF report), and Chile (ECH - ETF report) are at greater risk due to the slowdown in China and a rising US dollar.
Also the countries that are going through a period of political, social and economic uncertainty—like Turkey (TUR - ETF report), South Africa (EZA - ETF report) and Egypt (EGPT) ---should be avoided even if they look attractive on valuation basis.

Frankford alum joins Science Teaching Foundation
Thursday, 21 June 2012 13:20 Published in LifestylesFor Frankford High School alum, Latoya Clay, there is a long list of accomplishments. Not only has she received three master's degrees in science and math, statistics and secondary education, but she is the winner of a Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) fellowship.
As a mother of three children — nine-years-old, four-years-old and 18 months — Clay has never paid for college. Searching vigorously in her graduate student handbook for awards and fellowships, Clay came across KSTF.
Among 33 other beginning high school teachers of biology, physical science and mathematics, Clay was selected for the highly competitive five-year program that invests $175,000 to each fellow to combat teacher turnover — a critical problem in education.
"We cannot improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education without recruiting and keeping excellent STEM teachers like Latoya in the profession," Dr. Nicole Gillespie, KSTF's director of Teaching Fellowships, said. "She joins a growing cadre of exceptional KSTF teachers whose knowledge, commitment and leadership are transforming math and science education from the inside."
Janet H. and C. Harry Knowles established the KSTF in 1999 to increase the number of high-quality high school science and math teachers and to improve overall math and science education in the United States.
Taking part in professional and leadership development, learning new teaching methods and having a nationwide network of other teachers are things Clay will experience as a KSTF fellow.
"I'm excited about it. I'm excited about having this network of teachers there to help me get through times when I have low points. Knowing how to deal with it, reflect on it and talk with others who also have those problems openly without being judged, I'm excited," Clay said.
Now living in North Carolina, Clay acknowledges that her interests in math and science came from her teachers at Frankford High School.
"I had great math teachers in high school. My math teacher pushed me, [but] I was lazy in high school. I was smart. I knew how to do all the work, but I didn't care about the why behind math until I took calculus. AP calculus is a hard subject," Clay said. "My teachers in high school, especially math, they're one of the main reasons that I entered into a career in math."
Even with having her first child at 17, Clay discussed how her teachers kept her motivated.
"My teachers didn't let me slack off because of it. They still pushed me. It was great. Frankford was great," Clay said.
As a former tutor at her neighborhood Boys and Girls Club, Clay said she found additional motivation and discovered a passion of teaching.
"The things that impacted my life, gave me a sense of community and always wanting to volunteer came from the Boys and Girls Club," Clay said. "At school, teachers were great. They pushed me academically, but culturally having an awareness of myself as an African American and how I need to uplift my community came from going to the Boys and Girls Club."
Using her high school experiences, Clay received a full scholarship to get her undergraduate degree from Clark Atlanta University. Then, she received a master of science from North Carolina State University and later completed two other master's degree programs which were funded through scholarships.
"I've never paid for college ever. And I didn't want to pay for college ever either," Clay said. "So many people get scholarships. I always apply. And I tell [my students] I always get them. Gravitate to the people who get these awards and see what they do."
As an educator, Clay also encourages students to become critical thinkers.
"I think the biggest thing in fostering a love of science and mathematics is making kids inquisitive — having them question why something is happening. Math and science is all about why. Why is this happening? What are the mechanics behind it? That's what I try to foster," Clay said.
Over the next five years, the KTSF will provide a community of support and tools for Clay to cultivate students' interests in science and math. By using real life connections, she described her teaching style as relatable for students to see how important these subjects are in their lives.
"When I became a teacher, I always wanted to change lives and wanted to impact lives. That's my passion. That's what I love to do," Clay said. "The biggest thing about [KTSF] is they want you to inquire about your teaching. They don't want you to teach and just be okay with teaching. They're constantly doing research and having you look at yourself to see if you're being the best teacher you can possible be."
Thinking long-term, Clay wants to create a community based educational center.
"My ultimate goal is to have a school of my own that's like a community center. I could have good teachers who push the students academically. I could also have that community aspect. The students of the community can come and feel welcomed there and have a place to go after school," Clay said.
Michael P. Kelly, administrative receiver of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, resigned Friday, which he said is due to family responsibilities.
"Franky, I've been thinking about this for a while," Kelly told the Tribune Friday afternoon. "Believe me, it has nothing to do with politics, or with the public officials and the citizens of Philadelphia. Mayor Nutter has been very gracious, and I've had positive experiences with city council. I'm thankful for my time here in Philadelphia, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. The Tribune has been especially gracious and fair with us, and I really appreciate the support we've gotten from the community."
Pressed on the reason for his resignation, Kelly said he won't elaborate, but promises more information next week.
"It really was a personal, painful decision for family reasons," he said. "I know that sounds like a typical politician's line, but it happens to be true."
Karen Newton-Cole of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development accepted Kelly's resignation Friday during the monthly board meeting.
Additionally, HUD announced that Estelle Richman, a senior adviser to the HUD secretary, would replace Cole and return to her role as the one-person authority board commissioner and receiver. Richman served as the PHA board when HUD took control over the agency last year.
"It has been my pleasure to serve you as the commissioner of the Philadelphia Housing Authority," Cole said.
Kelvin Jeremiah, PHA's current director of audit and compliance, was appointed by Cole to be the provisional executive director of PHA. Janea Jordan will have Jeremiah's position.
"We are going to launch a national search in terms of identifying an executive director," Cole said.
While at the helm of PHA, Kelly was credited for many sweeping reforms. He re-established the Office of General Counsel — which manages PHA's legal affairs, and he created the Office of Internal Audit and Compliance to ensure business transitions were compliant.
Kelly headed PHA's Transition Plan — which aims to establish a culture of respect, accountability and transparency at the agency. A zero tolerance policy was instituted, and employees were held to new ethic policies and procedures.
Under Kelly, PHA reached a new contract agreement with Building and Construction Trades Council regarding workers pensions. He is also given credit to his ability to maintain focus and provide uninterrupted service at PHA during the Greene controversy.
In 2008, accusations of sexual harassment against PHA director Carl Greene surfaced. Greene was fired in September 2010 after the board of directors discovered that Greene used approximately $900,000 of federal funding for multiple harassment settlements.
Using his architecture, urban planning and 30-year housing authority experience from other cities like San Francisco, New Orleans and Washington, D.C., Kelly arrived to PHA in December of 2010 in the midst of the internal turmoil.
As the interim executive director, Kelly was on loan to PHA from the New York City Housing Authority, based on agreements that he serve both roles while maintaining duties as general manger of NYCHA. It wasn't until August 2011 that Kelly was named permanent executive director at PHA.
HUD asked the five-member PHA board to quit, thus gaining control of the agency. Philadelphia City Council member Jannie Blackwell, Philadelphia AFL-CIO President Pat Eiding, Debra Brady, wife of U.S. Rep. Bob Brady (D., Pa.), tenant leader Nellie Reynolds, and former Philadelphia mayor John Street eventually stepped down from the board.
"Mr. Kelly came to PHA at a very difficult time and he immediately focused on getting back to basics in property management and resident services and making PHA accountable and transparent in business practices," Richman said in a press release. "We will miss his energy and his ability to connect with the community."
"I do love this work," Kelly said. "I do love this housing authority. I do love the residents that I have been honored to serve. I love the colleagues that I had an honor to serve with."
Take a look inside room 211 and see fourth-graders Judah Logan, Jasmine Greene and Amira Ellis. The three students have books opened and are engaged in reading assignments. But, reading isn't the only activity keeping the students' interests. At John Story Jenks, the extra-curricular activities are popular among students.
In her fourth year as principal, Mary Williams Lynskey said her goal is to always have activities at Jenks. To provide enrichment activities to students, Lynskey began a program called JAM — Jenks Arts and Music Program — for students in the fourth through eighth grades. In JAM, students learn to play various instruments like the xylophone and guitar.
"The whole message behind that is we try and engage kids in their talent and area of interest so that if they feel successful in that, then they will see school as a success and it will bleed over in their academics. Every kid should have another level of engagement outside of academics," Lynskey said.
And another level of engagement comes from students' involvement in clubs. Seventh-graders Aniyah Pinkey, Christine Dawson-Hanies, Tyler Godwin and Jaquann Henderson participate in student council, recycling club, yearbook, market place, safety patrol and choir.
In the market place club, students get the opportunity to sell healthy snacks to their peers.
Students also receive foreign language education. The third through eighth grades include Spanish, French, German and Mandarin. In sixth grade, students receive a Rosetta Stone license for independent study of one of the four languages. Parents are also invited to have a license at home for a family learning experience.
"We're very proud of that," Lynskey said. "We want to prepare them for the highest [ranked] high schools and [are] trying to get students to think like high school students."
Other amenities at Jenks are the Wii Fitness Center and a rock-climbing wall.
Despite tight budgets of the district, Lynskey said she wants to maintain programming.
"Let's give them the middle school experience because that's something that they're going to need to help alleviate any fears of high school — because they at least would have had a locker [and] going to different teachers with different expertise," Lynskey said.
Eighth-grader Mikhaela Bass has been in the gifted program since sixth grade. With plans to attend Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) High School for creative writing, Science Leadership Academy, Engineering and Science High School, Parkway North West or Constitution High School, Mikhaela said her most memorable experiences were field trips to Washington.
Similarly, eighth-grader Kai Jones enjoyed the tour of the White House. From her experiences in the career club for girls, Jones plans to study modeling or nursing after high school. With plans of attending Franklin Leadership Center, Science Leadership, Girls' High or Motivation High School, Jones said she appreciates what she's learned at Jenks.
"The teachers are really nice. They encourage us. They are motivating us to try harder," Jones said.
Eighth-grader Amaia Bowman plans to take a different direction. With interests in singing and acting, Bowman said her most memorable experience was playing Miss Hannigan in the school musical "Annie."
"At the end of the show, everybody stood up and gave me a big round of applause and I just remember going home that night and I was like, 'Yes, yes, yes, I finally did it,'" Bowman said.
This year's play was the "Wizard of Oz." Bowman played the Wicked Witch of the West.
The actress wants to continue her talents in high school. She plans to attend CAPA, Girls' High School, Parkway North West or Franklin Learning Center.
Didn't make the musical, or participate in Art Day or Literacy Week? No worries. According to Lynskey, there are many opportunities for community involvement.
"Our whole calendar is based around events. One of our goals is to say, 'something is always happening at Jenks.' There's a lot of nice moments," Lynskey said.
Industrious actor Aaron Spears a poet at heart
Friday, 08 June 2012 20:27 Published in EntertainmentAaron D. Spears has a distinctive way of crafting analogies. Using descriptive metaphors, he has an ability to describe his life experiences in poetic verse. And with his extensive résumé of film and television roles, Spears' acting career is grounded on a foundation of spoken-word.
He's known as the suave Justin Barber on CBS' "The Bold and The Beautiful," which nominated him for the 2011 and 2012 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama.
Now, Spears has landed a role on BET's new drama series "Being Mary Jane" starring Gabrielle Union. In the network's first hour-long drama series, viewers follow a Black woman who's a career-driven talk show host juggling family, social life and work life. Spears plays co-anchor, Mark Bradley.
"Cast and crew [were] very open, very down to earth. Gabrielle Union was a pleasant surprise," Spears said. "She was not bourgeois. She was a regular girl, an average person at work. She was very warm and welcoming and mending herself to multiple options, not just stuck in one way doing or creating a character."
Produced by husband and wife duo, Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil ("The Game," "Jumping the Broom"), Spears described the couple's working style as a joint effort of support.
"The director was cool," he said. "Mara was very helpful in explaining any questions you may have. I like Salim in that he was open to suggestions, more of a collaborative effort as appose to directional effort."
Spears admitted that while on set, he has learned a lot about himself as an actor. Balancing one television series takes hard work, but adding a second, Spears said will be a true endurance challenge.
"Some things that you ask for you're not ready until you get that experience," Spears said. "And that experience will either let it be known that yeah I am ready, or you will find out very quickly that you're not.
"I compare this experience like double Dutch rope," he added. "You're getting your rhythm, you're bouncing back and forth. You go to jump in the rope, but [if] you don't catch that rhythm, that rope is going to sting your leg. That's kind of how it is when you're doing a drama because it's long hours. A lot of shooting. A lot of waiting around. A lot of different takes. One, you have to maintain a level of testament, and two, making sure your interest don't drop. When you're off camera take that time to rest because at three AM you maybe doing a close up."
Seen in films, "Babel," "The Mannsfield 12" and "Blue Hill Avenue," he has guest starred on television shows "NCIS," "Castle," "Boston Legal," "Lincoln Heights," "Bones" and "Criminal Minds."
Aside from his full-time work in acting, Spears is passionate about his family. He credits his wife for providing support while he works.
"You got to have a strong person by your side. In terms of my wife and what she does, I always tell her like, 'They couldn't pay me to do your job. No. I'm good.' You got to have a foundation. It's a lot easier for me to go out and do my job because I have a foundation at the house."
And the foundation that launched his acting career, stemmed from his experiences as a spoken-word poet.
"Spoken word was something very interesting," Spears said. "Spoken word just kept following me."
When he wrote a poem and got approval from family and friends, Spears said he realized he had a flair for poetry. After he moved from New York to California, he embarked on a journey — which yielded more opportunities for the actor.
"There was a poetry scene and that was my outlet of continuing to be in the spotlight. It kept me driven," he said. "It kept me open. I kept writing and I kept performing at various clubs around the city. It kind of lent itself to me and I never was closed to it. Different energy [than acting], but still a creative vice to express. And 'til this day, I still do spoken word."
In 1997, Spears established his own company, HENNA Inc., which has introduced a new perspective of spoken-word poetry and a renaissance of film making in Hollywood.
Spears, a Washington, D.C., native, has additional talents as a former football player, artist and dabbles in singing, as well. Yet, he gave praise to Philadelphia for providing him his first experiences in the entertainment industry.
"I have a lot of ties to Philly," Spears said. "Philly was one of the first places when I was jumping off the map trying to do my thing. I did a lot of modeling and auditioning in Philly. Philly always has that closeness to my heart. If it wasn't for Philly, I don't even know if I would have lasted in New York."
As a previous Penn Relays participant, attendant of the annual Greek Picnic in Philadelphia and a fan of The Roots and Jill Scott, Spears jokingly said he wants to come back for a "fish cheese steak" sandwich. Just skip the beef because he's no longer eating red meat.
Graduation is a milestone. And with one week away from embarking on a journey of new experiences, life changes and countless opportunities, several students in the Class of 2012 have more to celebrate.
The Philadelphia Tribune and Wells Fargo Student Achievers Reception recognized 66 high school seniors — who have made academic accomplishments while under challenging circumstances — on June 6 at the Union League of Philadelphia.
The Tribune's president and CEO, Robert W. Bogle, greeted the students and their families and gave a congratulatory message.
"Today we honor students who have displayed an unwavered commitment to academic excellence," he said. "Despite a number of challenges and obstacles, our student honorees, have managed in a very meaningful way to achieve something that will be important for many of your tomorrows. And that is the first step towards this journey called success."
Bogle also recognized Constance E. Clayton for attending the event. She is the first woman and first African-American superintendent of schools in Philadelphia.
Aldustus (A.J.) Jordan, vice president of community affairs manager of Wells Fargo was the master of ceremonies, and Rev. Tamieka N. Moore of Tenth Memorial Baptist Church gave the invocation.
Thomas Knudsen, acting superintendent and chief recovery officer of the School District of Philadelphia and Pedro A. Ramos, Esq., chairman of the School Reform Commission gave remarks.
"Each and every one of you graduates has marshaled his or her resources and accomplished something real and meaningful that will be with you for all the days of your lives," he said. "And you have done so in the face of personal challenges that would have held others back. That makes you true heroes."
"Commit to being an aggressively life long learner," Ramos said. "Everyday for the rest of your life seek out new knowledge and better understanding of different cultures and different ideas."
The keynote speaker, Kevin R. Johnson, senior pastor of Bright Hope Baptist Church offered words of encouragement to the students. While sharing the story of his life growing up, Johnson used an analogy of chickens and eagles. He challenged the students not to act as their peers and be timid, but be rare individuals who aren't afraid to achieve success.
"Maybe you have gone through the struggles and challenges in your own life just so you can begin to fly," Johnson said. "It's now time for you to launch. And as you get ready to launch, I want you to know, don't forget this moment when you heard someone tell you to not become a chicken, but to dare to become an eagle."
Mayor Michael Nutter and Wells Fargo Regional President Vincent Liuzzi, were also in attendance. Liuzzi presented a $25,000 check to the City of Philadelphia Office of Education's organization PhillyGoes2College, which helps Philadelphians of all ages earn a college degree.
Among the awardees at the reception was high school senior, Christopher Miller of Carver Engineering and Sciences High School. Miller said he was honored to be recognized.
"I'm proud of myself. I had no idea what is was at first, and then my mom told me and a couple kids from school told me," Miller said. "It means a lot."
This fall, Miller will attend Morehouse College. After receiving his bachelor's degree in history, he plans to attend law school at the University of Pennsylvania.
Within his four years of school, Miller has lost both his maternal and paternal grandfathers to cancer. Despite this emotional burden, Leah Tate, Miller's mother said that she is proud of his accomplishments and knew that he had the ability to push through.
"He was never the kid to stand outside," Tate said. "He always went to school and home. Everybody knew that Chris is the scholar. I'm extremely proud. Christopher is extraordinary in many ways. He's going to Morehouse College and he did everything on his own."
She also encourages other parents with children entering high school in the fall.
"Besides starting to make sure that they stay active, but give a little," Tate said. "Let them go out and experience things. Don't be scared. I didn't achieve it for myself, but I wasn't scared for my son."

Accentuating The Positive To Improve Productivity
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Strictly speaking, productivity is all about comparing inputs with outputs, for example, how many widgets Jane or Joe Employee (or their workgroup or their company or even their country) can crank out per hour of work. Whatever the variables measured, though, productivity requires a catalyst to creatively leverage all the resources required to produce goods or services. The most valuable of those resources, of course, is people. And most often, that catalyst is leadership. Leadership development programs often focus on helping individuals hone specific competencies that organizations have identified as key to managing their particular challenges.

Things I liked:Nice considering there is very little out there that honors the army. Everything nowadays seems to be all marines. Things I would have changed:Maybe tell the chinese to center the army crest when they screen print the faux embroidery on the front logo. Also it might be nice if they actually use the army crest which this is not. It's a fairly generic government emblem similar to the crest of the President of the United States. What others should know:Maybe I'm strange for thinking this, but I'd really like to see products that represent our military being "made in america". It just seems insulting to me that we don't have things like this made here in the U.S.A. For that fact I likely won't wear this hat. It will just gather dust on my wall.

The Zhigulevskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant (also known as the Volga HPP) located on the Volga river is the second most powerful HPP of the Volga-Kama Cascade. Let's see ourselves if it's really that good as it's usually described.
The construction of the Zhigulevskaya HPP began in 1950 and ended in 1957. The territory of the plant is huge. 7-8 hours aren't enough to look everything around. The main building (pictured) is 700 m long.
The red line in the picture marks the roof of the main building and the road on the side of the headrace.
From the roof of the building one can see very well all sorts of colorful strips of metal with an electric current flowing through them.
This crane serves for lifting and lowering repair closures. This is necessary in order to be able to block the water when the turbine is being repaired.
The view in the direction of the headrace. In the distance one can see a museum (which is very interesting, by the way), a gantry crane (which lifts and lowers the lattices designed for water filtration) and a distribution system (which delivers electricity to consumers).
The Zhigulevskaya HPP regulates the water flow in the Volga and creates favorable conditions for the irrigation of the large areas of arid lands. The electricity generated by the plant is carried by four high-voltage lines (500 kV each).
Once again, the gantry crane. The lattices which it lifts/lowers collect a whole heap of garbage! After the flood of the water area of the Kuibyshev reservoir, there were so much ragbage and logs in the water, that it was possible to move to the opposite bank on them.
At the very top. 500 kV voltage cables are peacefully swinging above your head. But don't worry, fire safety at this plant follows the highest standards.
The view of the tailrace. Though the turbulence of water is clearly seen, many reckless heads have drowned here… All of them were fishermen who illegally came here in order to easily catch slightly stunned after the turbine fish.
The railroad "Moscow-Samara" runs along the hydroelectric power plant.
And this is a part of the previously mentioned garbage. Such quantity won't make any difficulties to the turbine. Its rotation speed is 60 revolutions per minute.
The view in the direction of the museum and the right bank of the Volga.
And this is the Zhigulevsky retransmitter. It provides the Stavropol region with radio and television broadcasting.
Having gone down from the main building, you can find yourself on the railroad.

Core metrics
These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or report us if they are false.

metayml conforms to known spec |
META.yml does not conform to any recognised META.yml Spec. Take a look at the META.yml Spec at http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html (for version 1.4) or http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.yml accordingly. |
manifest matches dist |
MANIFEST does not match the contents of this distribution. Run a proper command ("make manifest" or "./Build manifest", maybe with a force option), or use a distribution builder to generate the MANIFEST. Or update MANIFEST manually. |
use strict |
This distribution does not 'use strict;' (or its equivalents) in all of its modules. Note that this is not about the actual strictness of the modules. It's bad if nobody can tell whether the modules are strictly written or not, without reading the source code of your favorite clever module that actually enforces strictness. In other words, it's bad if someone feels the need to add 'use strict' to your modules. Add 'use strict' to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules are strictly written. |
prereq matches use |
This distribution uses a module or a dist that's not listed as a prerequisite. List all used modules in META.yml requires |
Extra metrics
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.
metric | remedy |
metayml declares perl version |
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml. If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs. |

This distribution is not required by another distribution by another author. Convince / force / bribe another CPAN author to use this distribution. |
Experimental metrics
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.

This distribution does not have a LICENSE or LICENCE file in its root directory. This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later. |

Not only did Nadya Suleman get a new home, she's scored some pricey new duds too.
OctoMom recently dropped some coins on a couple of trendy items -- as seen here -- for her appearance on "Dr.Phil." Sources tell us the Octoshopper wore Tory Burch ballet flats that retail for $195 and a blue and white top that costs $228. It's what every mother of 14 on food stamps is wearing on television these days!
So how is she paying for these new threads? Real estate sources tell us Nadya is raking in the dough and getting "$15,000 here and $20,000 there." She's one lucky mutha!
you know it really frustrates me that she is out buying clothes but u tell me if u came into some money wouldnt u be out buying clothes and new houses. but u have to think that if she would have aborted 7 of the babies so she could have one, what would we think of her then? it would probably be worse then this. and what about these famous families that have 18 or more kids? we aren't bashing them why? whose to say they dont get government cheese too. all i'm sayin is she's a person to and really why do u all care, i'm sure u all have some skeletons in your closet. so just let god do the judging because that aint our job.
To those of you who are on the defense, it's not that Nadya is making money. The fact of the matter is that she is spending money on new clothes, a cellphone and lots of other luxeries! Instead she should be buying boxes upon boxes of diapers for if and when her babies do come home! Or she could be buying nice clothes for her kids. And the fact that her one son was so happy to play with a photographers camera gives me the impression that he doesn't get paid much attention to ,and was happy that someone wanted to spend any time with him. And with 8 more babies coming into the picture the older kids will be starving for attention, which means you will hear more about the police being called to her house, but not because she called! And for whomever said that her clothes are from Target, do you seriously think she is going to be that cheap on her clothes? C'mon now, she spends money like there's not tomorrow.
the gentrification of nadya. priceless.
i will no longer watch ANY media that features this ridiculous story. and dr. phil is off my watch list as of today. dr. phil was quite likely very involved in getting her the reality tv deal, or at the very least negotiating with alred's 'free nanny care' people to get them to allow the reality tv deal (the nanny people's offer was contingent upon NO reality tv, at least at the outset).
people should boycott this crap and then (and only then) will women stop giving birth to litters. at the moment, sex tapes and human litters are both pathways to money and fame. pathetic.
what happened to the medical board's investigation of the doctor who did this? his business has likely tripled since this story broke. the medical board: blah, blah, blah.
america, the land of no rules.
People need to stop giving this woman their hard-earned money. Bet you think your donations are going to the kids, right? WRONG!! If she's got extra cash, she should be starting education plans for her 14 kids, not buying expensive clothing. KEEP YOUR MONEY PEOPLE!!
Doesn't she still have a hellacious hospital to pay?? Oh, that's right....the taxpayers of California are going to be stuck with that. Worthless bitch.
Nice to see Nadia continue to PIMP out her kids.....and VERY nice to see her spending all that cash on SUV's, drivers, shopping spree's and the AWESOME part is she bought NOT A DANG THING for her kids.....
SWEET, Give her MOTHER OF THE YEAR....
To #57 inny - It's not the sperm donor's fault, I'm sure he didn't know where his sperm was going, but the doctor never should of implanted 8 eggs, that's for sure.
What a spoiled, thoughtless, self-centered, money-grubbing, worthless human being. God help her children.
the new hair style easily cost $500, and double that if extensions were included!!
and why exactly was the house put in her father's name? he was begging on oprah just last week (or week before?) and said he had no money. i believe his exact words were: I have $100 in the bank. if she gives him the money from her vaginal 'earnings' to make the purchase, then is it legal for the house to be in his name? i am sure she has a whole team of $500 per hour attorneys working overtime on this issue as i type. wow. she is one smart cookie.
TMZ - you idiots - YOU'RE the ones that are keeping her in all the dough with all your free PR!!!!! Can't ya'll just GO AWAY now????? And honestly - I hope that she can get all the money possible (that is not welfare) because she's going to need every last dime.
She may not have bought them. Dr Phil's show by his own request makes guest of his show dress acordingly a man is to wear a shirt and a tie and lether shoes no tennis shoes it is his policy...ladys are to be in nice pants suits or a dress paramont where his show is taped has many a staffer geared to know how to phsychologically ambush any guest into wearing what Dr. Phil the bitterr pill mandates...TMZ would get a heck of a story if they just do some research on how many lives Dr. Phil has ruined by he and his staffers tatics. Now Ill admit Ms. Sulliman seems already to be unbalanced ...Dr. Phil is the last person to be giving her advice. he is a huge joke to anyone in the real medical community who loath him ...he had no patience for his patients thats why he went into the law filed of coaching people for court more bucks and kissed ms. o booty when he saw the gravy ego train coming...

Market guide | Zillow predicts Kalorama home values will increase 2.9% next year, compared to a 4.9% increase for Washington as a whole. Among Kalorama homes, this home is valued 109.9% more than the midpoint (median) home, but is valued 29.3% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the Kalorama market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold climbed 10.7% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 100% greater than in Washington, and 20.2% greater than the national average. This higher local number may prevent Kalorama home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Washington. Learn more about forecast calculations or Kalorama home values.… MoreLess |

Hello Monday!
Hello Internets!
Everyone is talking about it, so I figured I'd join in.
~~ The WEATHER. It snowed last night. That's right. Snowed. Hello weather, read your calendar. It is Spring already. Frustrating.
But what frustrates me more is that people are actually wanting the death penalty for Punxsutawney Phil. Seriously??? What can be more stupid than basing your weather forecast on a rodent. A RODENT! But now you want to kill a RODENT for being wrong? America you are STOOOOPID!
In that same vain vane vain I have a beef with Pothole's street department.
This year Pothole, Ohio has received 2 major snow storms. These each dumped a good 8-10 inches on our sad little town. There were no snow plows going up and down our street, but today…TODAAAAAY when we get a whole 1½ inches, the plow came scraping loudly down our wee street at five minutes till five AM! There was NOTHING. TO. PLOW! Help a tax paying citizen out. Explain the logic on this.
~~ I washed my make up brushes yesterday.
~~ The boy got a new job.
~~ I cleaned off my computer desk.
~~ Last but most certainly not least, between the girl and I, we have eaten 2 packages of Reese Peanut Butter Eggs. YUM!
Have a great week Internets.

Where did he get a job?
In Berlin at a rubber extrusion factory. Today is his first day.
Wasn't he studying to be a chef? I thought I remembered that.
Why do PB eggs have to taste so ridiculously delicious? Why can't I stop? These are the impt questions.
Computer desk is a hotspot over here.-
Because the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter filling is perfection.
Your road department comments cracked me up. LOL!
We got 17 inches yesterday and they probably won't plow our street until tomorrow, if ever.
I agree about the poor groundhog. It's not his fault. I've seen groundhogs before. They aren't that smart.
