Highlights for High School is an MIT initiative providing free, open source teaching and learning materials to high school teachers and students. The site includes: Video lecture clips, lecture notes, practice problems, exams, and other resources from MIT's introductory Physics, Biology and Calculus courses; mini-courses for high school students developed by MIT students; and an introduction for students to the college-level MIT curriculum and course materials on OpenCourseWare.
MIT OpenCourseWare Highlights for High School is free, and requires no registration.
No. MIT OpenCourseWare is a publication of the course materials that support the dynamic classroom interactions of an MIT education; it is not a degree-granting or credit-bearing initiative.
The Highlights for High School portal contains links from the homepage especially for students and teachers explaining how the site might be most useful. Explore Introductory Courses to see what courses will be like in college. Follow the lessons in High School Courses Developed by MIT Students. Study for exams in Biology, Calculus, and Physics. Apply what you've learned to Build Stuff, Write Better, or even Save the World. Check out some Demonstrations on Video, explore Labs, or feel the excitement of Competitions .
At this time, Highlights for High School is focused on providing students and teachers with easy to access, high quality educational resources. We believe that social networking is a valuable tool for tutoring, discussing problems, and meeting students and teachers from other schools. Based on user feedback, future versions of the site may include a social networking component or online community.
Captions provide corresponding text for individuals who are unable to hear audio content such as video and audio lectures. To activate captions, follow these steps:
Although this site was not designed specifically for home school use, we hope that home school students and their parents/guardians will find these materials to be of value. Interviews with educational experts and home school parents conducted during the feasibility assessment phase of the Highlights for High School project indicated that home school students might find the materials on this site useful for their academic advancement.

Weaver's and Morris' Plea Bargains--9/27/04
The plea bargains of Edward Morris, who killed four members of his family, and Ward Weaver, who murdered two of his teenage daughter's friends, belie the central argument of those who want to keep the death penalty in Oregon--that the death penalty is reserved for the "worst of the worst." It simply is not true that the death penalty in Oregon is for the "worst of the worst."
In contrast to Morris and Weaver, most of the men on death row killed one person (and not many); many of their crimes were not, on the heinousness scale, as revolting as Weaver's and Morris' crimes. Only one other recent death penalty case (Christian Longo) received nearly the same amount of publicity as either. The most prolific serial killer in Oregon's history, Dayton Leroy Rogers, will never be put to death because of procedural difficulties with his case and the expense of retrial. Yet, despite these realities, the State of Oregon is committed to putting to death more than two dozen men you have never heard of--men like Michael McDonnell, Jesse Pratt, Mark Pinnell, Ernest Lotches--and giving the worst murderers lesser penalties. All these men did commit aggravated murder, to be sure; but to have them counting down their days until the state takes their lives while people who committed multiple grisly homicides are living quietly at the OSP flies in the face of those who claim that we only want to execute the worst of the worst. In fact, it makes the administration of the Oregon death penalty law look downright capricious, and it makes those who continue to intone that the death penalty is for "the worst of the worst" look downright hypocritical.
The Death Penalty Law
It wasn't meant to be this way. When the death penalty statute was overwhelmingly approved by initiative petition in 1984, the thought was that death could be administered quicker and much more cheaply to aggravated murderers than maintaining them for the rest of their lives in prison. But of the several unexpected monkey wrenches that have been thrown into the interpretation and application of the death penalty statute since then, the most crippling has been the realization that the costs of actually prosecuting potential death penalty cases so exceed the costs of a plea for life imprisonment without the possibility of parole that it drains the budgets of both district attorneys and the state indigent defense fund to do so.
Indeed, when you add to the prohibitive costs the fact that family members may not want the death penalty, that difficulties of proof may loom and that the mental state of the defendants may be precarious in the extreme, it often is the better part of valor for the State to accept a plea bargain rather than to risk a trial and have to "settle" potentially for something far less than death. And even if a person is sentenced to death, he has more appeals than Odysseus had trials in his "odyssey" back home after the Trojan War. With all these factors weighing on prosecutors, is it any wonder that a plea bargain is the best solution, both for the people involved and for the citizens of Oregon?
Where that Leaves Us
But the result of the pleas in these cases brings into stark relief the fact that the men on death row are probably those who were "easier" to prosecute, either because the evidence was clearer, there were no family members that stood in the way (or, indeed, some victim family members were out for blood), their mental state was sound or they just happened to have committed their crime in a county in Oregon that is much more "death friendly" than neighboring counties. In any case, what results is a death penalty statute that does exactly what the US Supreme Court says a death penalty statute ought not to do.
The whole purpose of the Supreme Court's suspending the death penalty in the US in the early 1970s was because its application had become too capricious. Juries were putting people to death in one county for an offense that wouldn't get the same penalty in a neighboring one. The Court was insistent that in order to have a death penalty that "worked," methods had to be developed to rid the process of caprice.
But Oregon has shown for all of us to see, though the plea bargains of Edward Morris and Ward Weaver, that the administration of the death penalty in Oregon is now capricious. As such, the only responsible civil action at this point is for the citizens of Oregon to abolish the death penalty. We have a penalty, life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, that works. It has been in place 15 years, and not one person receiving that sentence has ever been released. The state is protected at less cost through this punishment.
By keeping the death penalty in Oreogn we can show that we continue to be "tough on crime," but on whom are we tough? Certainly not the worst. We will kill the junkies who happened to murder a person who didn't pay his bills; a person high on methamphetamine who killed a hitchhiker he picked up; a drunken person who killed someone who was chasing him. But, we won't kill a man who sawed seven women to death, another who killed his family, and one sexually assaulted and then murdered two of his own daughter's friends and then conducted media interviews on the slab under which they were buried.
Maintaining the Oregon death penalty in the face of these new realities is the acme of hypocrisy.

The Baby Boomer Bust
Boomers better keep on working
Having arrived after the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation, the baby boomer generation had two tough acts to follow. These days, it's really tough.
The Associated Press is running a story this week introducing readers to a handful of baby boomers now in their sixties who are realizing that retirement has been indefinitely postponed. The new "work till you drop" ethic is a tough nut to swallow for people who have been on the work force for over four decades and lived well enough in the past to support their own parents' retirement.
There's a unique story for each of the nation's 78 million boomers, and a mess of common factors tarnishing their golden years. Technology and automation have left fewer opportunities, and scores of remaining jobs have been shipped overseas. Employed boomers are forever at risk of being undercut by younger, less experienced candidates willing to accept less pay (often, ironically, because they live with their baby boomer parents), and in the soured economy pensions have been lost and benefits cut. Nest eggs have been scrambled by a stock market in crisis. There's no parachute for most baby boomers, let alone a golden one.
Here's hoping things ease up for Generation X, hot on the heels of baby boomers, and for the young Gen Y and Echo Boomers to follow. They said ten years ago that Gen Xers would be the first generation in America not to enjoy a higher standard of living than their parents. If current trends continue at pace, the children of baby boomers could be working till they're 85.
Sometimes called the "pig in the python" generation, adult boomers changed the shape of each decade they passed through. They reveled in the cultural revolution of the 1960s, the indulgences of the '70s and '80s, and the boon times of the '90s. It's an unforeseen and unwelcome downshift late in life, but the best economic times for baby boomers appear to be in their rear view.

Koster wants flag desecration law reinstated
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is asking a federal appeals court to reinstate Missouri's law prohibiting desecration of the American flag, a law struck down by a federal judge last year.
Koster filed an appeal on Jan. 10 to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Frank Snider III of Cape Girardeau was arrested in 2009 for cutting up an American flag and throwing it into the street. The case was later thrown out. U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson issued a permanent injunction in March prohibiting the state, its political subdivisions and officials from "enforcing or threatening to enforce" the law.
Snider's attorney, Tony Rothert of the American Civil Liberties Union, calls the appeal disappointing and says the ACLU will continue to fight against it.

RIT's Governance Groups
The concept of shared governance is vital to decisions made at the university, and its practice is integral to RIT's success. Members of the governance groups below represent the university's major constituencies - faculty, staff, students, and administrators. Each governance group is empowered to bring forth issues of importance to the university for deliberation, such as policy proposals, plans for new initiatives, and operational concerns. The diverse perspectives provided in these deliberations are the foundation for inclusive decision-making, which is critical to our commitment to become the "innovation university."
Institute Council
Institute Council serves as the deliberative body in the development and review of university policies in areas not under the purview of Academic Senate. Its meetings provide a forum for members to discuss issues of higher education and create a contextual framework within which university policy recommendations may be formed or administrative actions taken. Because Institute Council is comprised of representatives of the faculty (appointed by Academic Senate), staff (appointed by Staff Council), students (appointed by Student Government), and administrators (appointed by, and including, the president) it also serves the important purpose of facilitating multi-directional communication among members and the constituent groups of the university. Additional information can be found on the Institute Council website or in its by-laws.
Academic Senate
Academic Senate is the legislative and representative agency of the faculty and is empowered to formulate academic policy affecting more than one college of the university. The Senate offers advice and recommendations on other matters of university welfare and acts upon other resolutions or proposals submitted to them that pertain to academic governance or the general welfare of the university. Additional information can be found on Academic Senate's website or in its charter of academic governance.
Staff Council
Staff Council is an advisory body to the president, or his/her representative, on issues and decisions that affect the university. Members communicate to staff about university news, events and initiatives and act as a conduit providing staff feedback and insights on university issues. Additionally, Staff Council initiates policy proposals and revisions, and raises issues for university consideration. Additional information can be found on Staff Council's website or in its by-laws.
Student Government
Student Government is a recognized organization that delivers the voice of the student body to faculty, staff, administrators, and the board of trustees. Student Government senators include representatives from all RIT colleges and other major student constituency groups. Senators focus their efforts on addressing issues that are most important to their constituency, with the end goal of expanding opportunities and improving the RIT experience. In addition to governance, Student Government also hosts a variety of events throughout the year to initiate student involvement. Addtional information can be found on Student Government's website or in its by-laws.

text: The Lazy Reader just finished a delightful novel called The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty. It is a character piece about the relationship between two women. Cora is a sensitive and conservative wife and mother in 1920's Wichita, Kansas. A fictitious character, she offers to accompany a real person, future screen actress Louise Brooks, to New York for dance training. Cora has a personal motive for offering to play chaperone which she is too private to reveal to Louise. I would recommend this to readers who like character driven historical fiction. There isn't a tightly wound plot, but evocative scenes that convey rare moments of understanding between people, and how two people influence each other. I enjoyed the setting of New York in the 1920s, when social mores were shifting.

Triple Shooting in Montgomery Leaves 1 dead, 3 Injured Residents at the Red Lion Apartment Complex off of Narrow Lane Road say they are now worried about the safety of their children after a triple shooting in their neighborhood.
"It's sad that kids can't play," says Rosa Davis. "Something like that going on out here, it's sad." "They can't even go outside and play!" says Latisha Mayes. "Something is always going on out here. That just took the cake right there." Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy says this was a drug deal gone bad. "We're told by one of the victims of the shooting that they were out here on a drug deal and things didn't go well," he explains. "People started pulling out guns and shooting." Two men drove to a nearby hospital where one man was pronounced dead. The other two men involved attempted to flee police but were taken into custody after a brief car chase. "When you're engaged in criminal activity, you certainly don't want to get caught and then a shooting on top of a drug deal, it's no good," says Murphy. "There's no good here." Residents of the complex say they are just trying to make sense of the whole situation. "I don't really know what's going on," Mayes says. "I was in my home at the time so I just came out to see all the action." "What can you say? It's sad," says Davis. "It's really sad." Chief Murphy says all four of these men did know each other. Stay with Alabama News Network for the latest on this. Montgomery Police are investigating another homicide. An apartment complex was the scene of a triple shooting this afternoon, leaving one person dead and three others injured. |

Burden of Dreams [DVD]
Director : Les Blank
Screenplay : Michael Goodwin
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1982
Documentaries and television programs about the making of movies are so common today that they have become banal. DVD releases almost always include featurettes about the various aspects of the film's production, and specials on television and cable routinely take us "behind the scenes" to see the making of the next Hollywood blockbuster. Of course, as most savvy filmgoers know, the vast majority of such programs are purely commercial in nature, with the primary goal being to sell a product, rather than inform. This is borne out in the upbeat nature of such programs, with directors, writers, and actors waxing poetic about how "great" it was to work with so-and-so and behind-the-scenes footage that paints a portrait of orderly professionalism and efficiency.
Les Blank's Burden of Dreams, a behind-the-scenes documentary that was shot throughout the tortured production of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo (1982), is another beast altogether. Like Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991), Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper's scintillating exploration of Francis Ford Coppola's magnum opus Apocalypse Now (1979), Burden of Dreams is a portrait of filmmaking as potentially deadly obsession, even in the face of nearly insurmountable obstacles.
Amazingly enough, though, Fitzcarraldo director Werner Herzog comes across as strangely in control. A darling of the New German Cinema movement of the 1970s, Herzog was a renowned cinematic madman who didn't mind shooting on an active volcano and was rumored to have pulled a gun on Klaus Kinski during the production of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) in order to get the performance he wanted. However, even as the production of Fitzcarraldo seems to be imploding around him, he shows only a few signs of brittle frustration or outright anger. Granted, he is disposed to making rather extraordinary claims, such as when he declares that the jungle is evil or when he says that he will either live by Fitzcarraldo or end his life by it. Part of Herzog's strange charm is that he makes such bold statements with a kind of blunt matter-of-factness that is, in its own way, extraordinarily demented.
Herzog began shooting Fitzcarraldo in 1979 in the remote jungles of South America, with Jason Robards and Mick Jagger in the two lead roles. Robards was to play the title character, a man who was obsessed with building an opera house in the jungle (it is not surprising that so many of Herzog's characters are obsessive). The first problem occurs when the production becomes ensnarled in a dispute between indigenous Indian tribes, and they are forced to desert their location and find another one.
A year later, with new locations established 1,200 miles away from the original spot, production resumes; however, with 40% of the film in the can, Robards becomes deathly ill, returns to the United States, and is forbidden by his doctor from returning. Meanwhile, Mick Jagger must also leave the production to fulfill his commitment to a Rolling Stones tour. Thus, all the footage goes into the garbage, Herzog brings in a new leading man, the brilliant, but notoriously intemperate German actor Klaus Kinski (with whom he had worked on three previous films), and production begins all over again. That was hardly the end of the problems, however. At one point, several of the local crewmembers were attacked by a neighboring Indian tribe, and the camera later shows us the jagged scar on a man who was shot through the neck with a spear.
The central setpiece of both Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams is a sequence in which a 130-ton iron steamship is literally dragged over a muddy hill. The dragging of this steamship is a perfect metaphor for Herzog's brutal filmmaking regimen, which required as much actuality as possible. Refusing to use models, special effects, or even a ship made of lighter materials, Herzog insisted that the actual iron ship be dragged up an actual hill in the middle of an actual jungle in the remote environs of South America. The entire enterprise was deemed too dangerous by the Brazilian engineer who designed the mechanisms by which the ship would be dragged, and he walked off the production. In an interview, the engineer says quite frankly that there's a 70% chance that something disastrous will happen.
Director Les Blank, who followed Herzog throughout the production, captures a wide range of moods and situations. While a large portion of the film is made up of talking-head interviews (most of which are with Herzog, who has such a fascinating screen presence that you almost wish he had gone through with his idea to play Fitzcarraldo himself), Blank's camera tends to wander to the margins, focusing in on the insect life, or the native Indians making food, or a soccer game. He gives the film a great sense of texture and a lived-in feel; it's not very long, but the pointed selection of footage and combination of production and context makes it feel as if it's being laid out on a much larger canvas.
There are some definite omissions, most notably any instances of Kinski's infamous temper tantrums (which were filmed and show up in Herzog's 1999 documentary My Best Fiend). However, whatever is left outside the margins is made up for with the fascinating stuff we do see on screen, which unlike so many making-of documentaries we see today, shows us both the joys and the pains of bringing a labor of love to life.

As one would expect from a documentary shot in the Peruvian jungles, Burden of Dreams was shot on 16mm, so it doesn't have the smooth, slick look of 35mm. The transfer for this disc was taken from a 16mm interposititive and then digitally restored with the MTI Digital Restoration System, so it looks about as good as one could expect. The image is slightly grainy, particularly in the darker scenes, but colors look very good throughout and detail is also solid. | ||
The monaural soundtrack, mastered from the magnetic track and digitally restored, sounds good throughout. It is clear, with no ambient hiss or distortion. | ||
The audio commentary features director Les Blank, editor and sound recordist Maureen Gosling, and Fitzcarraldo director Werner Herzog (Blank and Gosling were recorded together, while Herzog was recorded separately and edited in). The commentary is a good listen, with plenty of amusing and sometimes eye-opening anecdotes about the making of the film, which range from the difficulties of keeping raw film stock in good condition in the humid jungle environment, to Blank's lamenting the lack of beer and how he had to make a single joint last six weeks. While Herzog doesn't get a lot of air time during the commentary, he is the focus of "Dream and Burdens," a new 38-minute video interview in which he reminisces about the production of both Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams. Also included on the disc is Blank's 20-minute 1980 short film Werner Herzog Eats His Show, the title of which is quite literal. Apparently, Herzog made a wager with documentary filmmaker Errol Morris that, if Morris completed his first feature film (Gates of Heaven), Herzog would eat his shoe. The film chronicles Herzog's preparation of the leather shoe for consumption (which involves stuffing it with garlic and peppers and boiling it for several hours in water and duck fat and lots of pepper sauce) and then the actual eating, which took place on stage at one of the film's premieres. It was because of this collaboration that Herzog chose Blank to film the production of Fitzcarraldo. The two deleted scenes are not quite that; they are actually scenes from Herzog's 1999 documentary My Best Fiend, which used extra footage shot by Blank during the making of Fitzcarraldo. The two scenes together perfectly juxtapose the bipolar sides of Klaus Kinski: In one, he is screaming like a madman at the production manager about the food he's supposed to eat, while in the other he is delicately playing with a butterfly. Other supplements include an extensive photo gallery, the original theatrical trailer, and an 80-page book of excerpts from Blank's and Gosling's production journals. |

Craft, Thomas back to lead young Buckeyes | |
Written by Admin |
Thursday, 11 October 2012 11:35 |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - At least for a while, everyone will be talking about who's not playing for Ohio State in 2012-13. Two-time All-American Jared Sullinger led the Buckeyes to a 65-11 record in two seasons and last year's Final Four before being drafted in the first round by the Boston Celtics. William Buford tied the legendary Jerry Lucas as the third-highest scorer in school history with 1,990 points. Coach Thad Matta believes that the three returning starters - and a cadre of young players who have yet to prove themselves - will make their own headlines soon enough. Ohio State opens practice on Friday with a team led by point guard Aaron Craft, running mate Lenzelle Smith and big-scoring forward Deshaun Thomas - and a lot of possibilities. |

Apple said to be enticing indie labels for iTunes Radio
After securing the major music labels, it appears Apple wants to make deals with independent labels. And, the pay doesn't seem too shabby.
While Apple has sealed the deal with the three major music recording labels for its upcoming iTunes Radio service, the company is now looking to lure independent labels.
The tech giant has reportedly been talking to various indie music labels, letting them know how the royalty pay scale will work on the new service, according to the Wall Street Journal. Labels will be paid on how many listens each song gets, along with ads that Apple sells.
According to the Wall Street Journal, labels will get 0.13 cent every time a song is played and 15 percent of ad revenue in the first year of service. During the second year, labels will earn 0.14 cent per song and 19 percent of ad revenue.
This payment system could be a better deal for the labels than what rival Pandora offers. According to the Wall Street Journal, Pandora gives labels 0.12 cent each time a song plays on its service. But, it's still unclear if Apple's ad revenue could equal that of Pandora's.
Related stories
Apple finalized deals with the three major labels and publishers earlier this month.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the deals that Apple is offering to independent labels are similar to those it has with the major labels. Apparently, in the deals, there are some exceptions when Apple doesn't have to pay royalties -- such as if the listener owns the song in their iTunes library, if Apple has selected the song for special promotion, or if the listener skips the song before 20 seconds have played.
CNET has contacted Apple for comment. We'll update the story when we get more information.
Correction on June 27 at 6:20 a.m. PT: This story originally misstated the amounts said to be paid to the indie music labels. Apple reportedly will pay out 0.13 cent in the first year each time a song is played and 0.14 cent in the second year, while Pandora reportedly pays out 0.12 cent. That is, payments per song play are in the hundredths of a penny.

I've been keeping my eyes open (and trying to convince dh) for quite a while for a solid wood chest of drawers for the kids. I finally found a fantastic deal. I thought when I found something, I would paint it (off) white for the kids' room. It didn't need to be a permanent fixture, as we plan to buy/build whatever furniture they need when we move and have more bedrooms and the kids are using their rooms more.
In the past month or two, my older two kids have begun sleeping in the kids' room at least 50% of the time and I would like to make it into a nice room for them. I also happened across an incredible deal on a chest of drawers, still with the plan to paint it and buy new hardware to update it.
It's in the garage now and I'm just not certain anymore. It's a nice solid piece. It's really tall with 5 drawers plus a secret hidden drawer (which the kids absolutely love and have thought up many plans for since we found out this evening). It's a nice stained cherry, except that the top is pretty scratched up and there are a few significant scratches on some of the drawers. It has all of the original hardware. It's brass, so I was going to replace it. However, the design is actually kind of cool - a back in the shape of a shield with a key looking thing that screws on, holding the shield in place. If it weren't for the scratches, I would look at this and think it was a lovely chest that would be perfect for my oldest as he gets older.
So...I'm no longer certain if I should paint it or try to sand and stain the scratches, but then how do you match the stain? And do I leave the original drawer pulls and live with their brassiness?

Converting ocean water into fresh water is energy intensive, and therefore expensive. Saudi Arabia is a desert kingdom with plenty of oil but very little fresh water. The Saudis burn 1 million barrels of oil a day to produce 60% (4 billion cubic meters) of its total fresh water supply through desalination. If exported onto the world market, those 1 million barrels of oil would bring Saudi Arabia $115 million a day, but it is worth it to them to forgo the profits and have the fresh water. From an environmental standpoint, burning 1 million barrels of oil a day sends close to a half million tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere every day, contributing greatly to the pace of global warming.
To deal with these problems, the Saudis have joined with IBM to build a series of solar-powered desalination plants that could by mid-century produce a large share of the kingdom's water needs.
However, the largest solar-powered desalination plant yet designed will be built in the United Arab Emirates. The Ras Al Khaimah plant, scheduled to start production in 2015, will produce 100,000 cubic meters (approx. 22 million gallons) of fresh water a day, and in addition, provide 20 megawatts of electrical power daily. The developers estimate they will be able to deliver water at a cost of $0.75 per cubic meter. Average cost per cubic meter of water delivered to households in the United States runs between 0.35 and 0.40. Most of the desalination plants run by solar energy are situated in the Middle East where there is an abundance of year round sun and a scarcity of water.
The largest desalination plant run by wind power is near Perth in Western Australia. The Kwinana Desalination Plant produces 144,000 cubic meters of water a day (approx. 38 million gallons), about 17% of Perth's water supply. The Kwinana plant is powered by the 80 Megawatt Emu Downs wind farm located 200 miles away. Because electrical power has to be supplied evenly 24/7, and because the wind stops blowing from time to time, the power from the wind farm goes into the grid on a trade-off basis. The wind farm contributes 270 Gigawatt hours a year into the power grid, more than offsetting the 180 Gigawatt/h year required to operate the desalination plant. There are a number of smaller desalination plants run by wind-generated electrical power that goes directly from the wind farm to the plant, but Perth has opted for the offset arrangement.
Most desalination plants are still operated with grid power generated by coal, oil, or natural gas because it is less expensive than spending hundreds of millions to construct solar arrays or wind farms. For example, Australia's other desalination plants providing fresh water to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and other coastal areas use fossil fuel power from the grid. But more and more, new desalination plants around the world are being planned to operate on alternative power. At some point in the future, all our electricity will have to come from those sources.

I finally got my Skinzee 0811X in, it's been a long while since I had a new pair of Diesel jeans. Thoughts? It's my first time trying this new cut and it's super skinny which I love. The wash doesn't come up very well in the photos though, so I included the stock photo for reference as it looks exactly like it. What do you think? For reference I took 27/30 as I have short legs. Excuse the bad images, without my boyfriend here to take my photos I am stuck with my phone and the bathroom mirror.
Lorna. I am just going to come out and say it, and I am sure it is what all the others are thinking but you are so damn cute in every pic you post and those jeans look incredible! Atrue babe and I hope it is not inappropriate to say so. Your boyfriend is a VERY lucky man!

This post has been in draft since last 2 years and would probably not see the light of the day if it had not been for me having to delete the SharePoint 2010 Search Service Application couple of times recently using this technique…
I have had this "consistent" experience of not being able to delete the Search Service Applicaiton from Central Administration
Remove-SPServiceApplication -id [] should do the trick… but if it doesn't – our good old STSADM will nail it. Thanks to a forum post I had seen then… STSADM works everytime…
Here is the solution
Get -SPServiceApplication
Grab the Search Service Application id – [for example] 30b15b57-6bec-46b5-990d-541d99bab53b
then use this
Stsadm -o deleteconfigurationobject -id 30b15b57-6bec-46b5-990d-541d99bab53b (Preferred over the next method of PowerShell)
Remove-SPServiceApplication -id [id of Search Service Application] -confirm:$false -RemoveData
That's it!

Comments about Akadema ARA-93 Manny Ramirez Series 11.0 Inch Youth Baseball Glove:
I bought this glove for my son that loves to play baseball and try to keep up with his older brother. Amazing glove. It is a little tough to break in, but all good gloves are. The fit for a childs hand is great. My son is only 4 and has been using it for a year. It should last him until he is at least 8 years old. This glove is going to be a much better option than some of the cheap fake leather gloves that are out there for beginners. Probably not a great glove for the player that only plays once a week at his t ball game, but a great glove for kids that are serious about playing baseball and need a good glove to get comfortable with.
