I was a little disappointed when there was a 1/4" gap on 2 heads, 1 rail. It would be nice to explain when ordering.
Very happy with the appearance and construction of my new blinds. I will have to wait and see how they hold up over time, but for now I am extremely satisfied.

The Republican leader of the Illinois House of Representatives says he's not running for attorney general.
Tom Cross tells The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald that he made his announcement following Lisa Madigan's decision to stay in the post.
Madigan, a Democrat, ended months of speculation Monday when she said she wouldn't challenge Gov. Pat Quinn in 2014. She says she never planned to run if her father, longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan, remained in his job.
Cross says Lisa Madigan's decision changes the "dynamic" of attorney general's race and says he's committed to leading House Republicans in Springfield.
Cross is from Oswego and was first elected to the House in 1993. He's led the Republican caucus since 2002.

text: Well, in Japanese porn, a lot of the times, the crotch shots are pixelated and it has never failed to stimulated the Japanese porn-viewing community. I think there were some sort of laws forcing them to pixelate those images. Of course, there's also the acts themselves that may be doing the stimulating.

Art - Eric Carle Style
Brownie made an awesome butterfly.
Truffle did a really good job with her self-portrait and a lightning bug.
Cookie wanted me to make apples in a basket for her. Fudge did a really cute caterpillar but gave it away before we could take a picture of it.
This is definitely a project we will do again! The brush strokes left on the paper added new dimensions to the projects. We might try colored tissue paper but without the brush strokes I don't think they will turn out as well. Thanks to Meg for her inspired idea!

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I was two weeks late this month and we'd really gotten our hopes up and our baby dreaming caps on. Then reality hit. While not a miscarriage, certainly a loss.ReplyDelete
My prayers are for us both.
I am so sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
The projects all look amazing though. Eric Carle is my favorite childrens book author. I can't believe I have never thought to do this. Thanks for the inspiration!
Take care :)

Sorry about your loss.ReplyDelete
The Eric Carle idea looks like lots of fun!
i've been dying to do some eric carle art for years. why haven't i?ReplyDelete
i'm sad for your miscarriage. i've had one at the beginning of my second trimester and was shocked at how physically painful it was besides emotionally. it sounds like you are trying to keep things upbeat--and i'm sure with your big, happy family it will be hard to be sad for too long, but . . . may the lord bless you and strengthen through this trial. you are an inspiration.
and thanks for sharing something so personal. it helps to get to know each other and it helps to remember that we all have a real life and not just a virtual one!
The artwork turned out so beautiful. What a fun project! I am going to have to give it a try some time.ReplyDelete
I am sorry for you tough week. I hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers for you and your family. Take care and don't do too much.ReplyDelete
Your art projects came out great. I'm sure my kids would love to something like it. Thanks for the inspiration.
We loved this project as well. My daughter did it in kindergarten and we copied the process at home this summer. We did cheat a little and checked out a couple of Eric Carle books from the library for inspiration. After we glued our artwork together, we went over it with decoupage to really make the colors stand out and give it a nice glossy finish.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Prayers and {hugs} for you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your wonderful blog. You're one of my blogging heroes! :)
Those Eric Carle inspired pieces are wonderful!! I'm absolutely copying you guys!ReplyDelete
Cocoa, you are an incredible woman. I wish I could come bring over some dinner and play with your kids during this difficult time. I'm sure your family is loving you and helping you. Just know that you have touched my life and I am thinking of you.
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?
Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.

Another major snowstorm pummeled parts of the Midwest on Monday and Tuesday, killing at least three people, cutting power to thousands and affecting 45 million people in 21 states at one point.
The snow began Sunday in Colorado, where CNN iReporter Matthew Colver shared this photo of his back yard in Castle Rock. He said he had used his snow-blower to clear his driveway at about 3 p.m., "but it's filling in pretty fast."
CNN iReporter Brandi Whitacre's husband Brandon took this photo from their backyard in Fairview, Okla. This was after two hours of snow fall, and conditions were getting worse.
In Woodward, Okla., emergency vehicles were still having trouble getting around Tuesday, a day after the storm dropped more than 15 inches of snow. First responders were hindered by snow drifts up to 4 feet tall in front of some homes.
At least three people have died because of the storm: one in Woodward when a roof collapsed.
The other two deaths came in Kansas on Monday in separate weather-related accidents on Interstate 70. One accident happened in Sherman County and the other in Ellis County.
In the Texas panhandle city of Canyon, CNN iReporter Matthew West snapped this picture Monday of a 5-foot snow drift outside his back door. His son's tricycle is in the foreground.
The wet, heavy snow that reached Kansas City on Tuesday snapped tree branches, brought down power lines and made it tough for snow plows and utility crews to keep up.
Power outages doubled to 25,000 before dawn, Kansas City Power and Light said. Most flights out of Kansas City International Airport were canceled.
The storm could bring up to 18 inches of snow to parts of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Storm watches stretched from Oklahoma to Michigan.
The Kansas National Guard warned that continued snowfall and gusty winds would make travel tricky through Wednesday.

Whether they want it to bark, purr, slither or squawk, there comes a time when a pet appears on nearly every child's birthday wish list. For most parents, this decision can be a bit daunting. Is your child ready to take on the responsibility of caring for a pet? Will the new animal negatively affect his or her health? Though your child may think your wary attitude is unnecessary, these are valid questions for every parent to ask themselves and their family before welcoming a new pet into their home.
"The first thing that you need to think of is if your children are old enough and responsible enough to handle a pet around the house," said Dr. Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. "You also need to be aware of the temperament of the new pet that you're bringing in."
Low maintenance animals, such as hamsters and fish, prove to be great starter pets for children. They require minimal amounts of time and care, introducing the child to the responsibilities of pet ownership without giving them more than they can manage.
Of course, puppies and kittens are always crowd pleasers as well. Their high energy level and love for attention makes them the perfect child companion. But what about when little Bobby begs for that snake at the pet store?
"With animals like lizards and snakes, their care and feeding requirements can be a bit tricky as far as humidity and temperature," Stickney said. "These animals also eat other animals for food, which may be upsetting to some children."
When choosing a family pet, it is also important to take into consideration your children's sensitivity to various allergens.
"One of the first things that you need to do is consult with your physician," said Stickney. "If your child is allergic to pollen or some sort of grass that an animal could track into the house, an indoor animal such as a cat would be a non-issue."

NEW YORK — Although it never got the kind of coverage that abortion rights did, forced sterilization was another reproductive rights violation that plagued women in the 20th century. The practice gradually disappeared as the concept of reproductive autonomy took hold in our national consciousness. Or we thought it did. But a new report from the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) suggests that as recently as 2010, California prisons were coercing women into permanent sterilization by skipping over protocols put in place to prevent such coercion.
In California, a health care committee is supposed to authorize prisoner tubal litigations in order to prevent abuses, but from 2006 to 2010, 148 women were sterilized by doctors who just skipped that step. The Center for Investigative Reporting says there may be as many as 100 more cases dating back to the 1990s.
CIR interviewed doctors who were involved in sterilizations in California prisons, and comments from these doctors only raise suspicion that they supported a system of bullying and frightening women into agreeing to sterilizations they did not want. James Heinrich is accused by at least one inmate of badgering her about sterilization until she caved, and his comments about the money spent by the state on these procedures are not very reassuring.
"Over a 10-year period, that isn't a huge amount of money," Heinrich said, "compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children — as they procreated more."
"Unwanted" by whom? The women themselves or Heinrich? Christina Cordero, who was sterilized by Heinrich, says she wished she hadn't had the tubal litigation. So perhaps any child she might have conceived would have been wanted.
Another doctor who worked for the California prison system was recorded spouting right-wing urban legends about people who "want" to be in prison for the supposedly great health care.

HOUSTON -- While Ruben Tejada hit at the top of the batting order on Wednesday, the Mets shortstop is beginning to settle into the No. 2 spot.
"That's where he is until we get everybody back," manager Terry Collins said. "The way he's been swinging the bat, I don't want to mess up the top of the order, those first four guys."
Tejada is making a believer out of Collins in that role.
"Yeah, the way he's been handling the bat lately, going the other way so much, he's done a great job," Collins said. "And if we make a switch in the leadoff spot, where we think Andres [Torres] brings more to us ... he's the kind of guy that can take some pitches and let Andres steal a base."
Tejada hit .588 (10-for-17) during the recent series at Colorado, the first Mets player to have 10 or more hits in a three-game series since Edgardo Alfonzo did it at Colorado, April 28-30, 2000.
During Wednesday's game, Tejada went 3-for-4 with two doubles to raise his average to .305.
Collins has concerns about Mets' pitching
HOUSTON -- The Mets' pitching staff issued eight walks in a 6-3 loss on Tuesday, the second most it has allowed in a game this year. Over the last five games, Mets pitchers have allowed 22 walks.
New York ranks seventh in the Majors with 82 walks and has issued four bases-loaded free passes this season, including one during Tuesday's game. That and the home runs given up by Mets pitching, including two on Tuesday, are a concern to manager Terry Collins.
"You just can't put people on and expect to win a Major League baseball game," Collins said. "It's just going to come back to burn you."
Collins added that execution is the big cause for the 25 long balls the staff has yielded so far this season.
"One of the reasons is that we're leaving a lot of balls in the middle of the plate," Collins said. "We're not making pitches we need to make."
Mets catcher Josh Thole said that despite six walks issued by the bullpen on Tuesday, the trio of relievers threw the ball well in combining for five innings of work. Miguel Batista worked 2 2/3 innings and Ramon Ramirez tossed 1 1/3 before Jon Rauch pitched the final frame.
Thole said Ramirez, in particular, had excellent movement on his pitches.
"[On Tuesday], I thought he came in and did a good job," Thole said. "Some guys didn't bite at the pitches like they do a lot of times."
He said both Ramirez and Batista had good stuff.
"When you're pitching with that much action on the ball, both of those guys, their pitches take off in any direction," Thole said. "When you have that kind of movement, it makes it tough. And that's why they miss a lot of barrels."
Mets play final NL matchup in Houston
HOUSTON -- The Mets and Astros both entered the National League in 1962. Wednesday marked the final time the two teams will meet at Minute Maid Park as National League opponents.
Manager Terry Collins, who held the same position in Houston from 1994-96, said that considering the infrequency with which the teams play now, it won't be that strange not to be facing the Astros in the future.
"If we played them more, the answer would be, 'Yes.' But when you only play them home-and-home, not really," Collins said. "It's almost like doing an Interleague game.
"It's a little different than it once was, when you played everybody a couple of times each."

Tie Dyed Tights
We are currently unable to have the blank tights we tie dye made for us. We are waiting patiently.
Our tie dyed tights are hand dyed in small batches on US made cotton tights.* With a soft black elastic waistband and a fantastic array of colors these can brighten any day whether or not is it cold and dark out. More colors to be added shortly!!!
Made & Dyed in the USA.
Fiber Content: 70% cotton, 25% supplex nylon, 5% Lycra®.
Hand wash, or machine on gentle cycle, in cold water. Hang or lay flat on towels to dry.
Sizing Tips: EG Smith's claim on their tights: One size fits you beautifully. Built in stretch capacity to fit all our friends up to 6' 200 lbs. We find that range to be more generous than we'd recommend. Over 5'10" beware.
Additional Info: WE are currently unable to have this tight blank made for us. We are waiting patiently. *In keeping with our US made policy for items with our label on them we used E.G. Smith cotton tights that were created specifically for us so that we could have them dyed by Portland's one and only Tie Dye Eric. Though we do aim for some consistency each and every pair is a unique creation of beauty and color... what you receive may not match the images precisely but will be gorgeous none-the-less!
PLEASE NOTE: Please be aware that leggings, tights, and other products considered intimate wear are non-returnable once removed from their original packaging.

New Image Sculpture
Organized by the McNay's Chief Curator and Curator of Art after 1945, New Image Sculpture assembles works by emerging and mid-career artists who freely appropriate from art history, ethnographic artifacts, fashion, folk art, hobby crafts, popular culture, and the world of do-it-yourself. These artists transform widely available materials, many found on the shelves of hardware stores and building suppliers, into fanciful re-creations and interpretations of ordinary and mundane things. Styrofoam, corrugated cardboard, and duct tape replace marble and bronze as primary materials, while ersatz tractors, musical instruments, sofas, and suitcases take the place previously held by portrait busts or minimalist cubes.
Drawing on art movements including Dada, Nouveau Réalisme, Arte Povera, and Pop art, as well as various other developments in realism, these disparate artists all use recognizable imagery and common materials. Often fabrication techniques are conspicuous as an element of the finished work. Some artists employ labor-intensive and obsessive approaches, emphasizing craft and the handmade with obvious evidence of the artist's process, despite the use of ephemeral materials.
The 13 artists and artist collectives in New Image Sculpture create unique visions of the world we encounter on a dailybasis. Regardless of what they make or how they make it, inthe end these artists transform ordinary stuff into objects ofextraordinary engagement.
A full-color, 128-page book surveying the work of these artists, with text by the exhibition's organizer René Paul Barilleaux and critic Eleanor Heartney, accompanies the New Image Sculpture exhibition.This exhibition was organized by the McNay Art Museum.

Bloomberg News
The U.S. regulator proposing to end a ban on phone calls during commercial flights understands why some passengers say the change would take connectivity too far.
"I feel that way myself," Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said, after provoking complaints from flight attendants who want a peaceful cabin, fliers who don't want chattering seatmates, and lawmakers who listen to both groups.
Wheeler's statement was issued 25 hours after the agency announced his Nov. 21 plan to allow in-flight calls, unleashing a flood of protests. In that time, one FCC commissioner received more than 200 e-mails objecting to the move, an online petition at the White House surpassed 1,000 signatures, and members of Congress from both parties discussed blocking Wheeler's proposal with legislation.
"Playing 'Words with Friends' is different than passengers having lengthy, loud 'conversations with friends' while in the tight, inescapable confines of an airline passenger cabin," Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said in an e-mailed statement Nov. 22.
It was a rude reception for one of the first proposals made by Wheeler, a former telecommunications industry lobbyist, since taking office as FCC chairman Nov. 4.
The agency has banned cellular phone use on planes since the 1990s. Wheeler said airlines outside the U.S. use mobile equipment without interfering with networks on the ground.
"Advances in technology likely no longer warrant, on a technological basis, the prohibition of in-flight phone use with the appropriate on-board equipment," he said.
Wheeler said it would be up to airlines to decide whether to let their passengers make calls in mid-air.
"It will be only a technical advisory," he said.
U.S. aviation authorities last month lifted restrictions on using electronic devices including Kindles from Amazon.com Inc. and iPads from Apple Inc. to read, browse the Web and send e- mail over Wi-Fi connections in airplane mode.
Airlines quickly applied to the Federal Aviation Administration to allow their passengers to stay connected throughout flights.
Voice calls were another matter. Delta Air Lines, United Continental Holdings and US Airways Group told Gogo, the largest provider of in-flight Wi-Fi service, to block voice calls over Internet streams to avoid annoying passengers.
Wheeler's proposal faces an initial vote at a Dec. 12 FCC meeting in Washington. It would be then subject to another vote following a public comment period before taking effect.
Rep. Thomas Petri, R-Wisc., said he'll probably join Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., in introducing a version of a failed 2008 bill they titled the HANGUP Act, for Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace. The measure died amid opposition from the wireless industry, DeFazio said.
"There's no need for voice when you're trapped eight inches from a person," DeFazio said in an interview.
"I'm puzzled," he said. "It looks to me as if perhaps the new chair of the FCC is uninformed, or perhaps wants to deliver something the cellphone carriers have been lobbying for."
Petri said in an interview that, like many lawmakers, he flies often and prefers the quiet.
"It's bad enough when you're taxiing in and out, and you're next to one of those persons," he said.
CTIA-The Wireless Association had no comment on Wheeler's proposal, Jot Carpenter, vice president-government affairs, said in an interview. Members of the Washington-based trade group include the top four U.S. wireless carriers: Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile US.
CTIA opposed the HANGUP Act because blocking voice calls "ought to be a business decision made by an airline and its wireless partners, not by the government," Carpenter said.
The Association of Flight Attendants objects to the FCC's proposed change, Corey Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the union, said in an interview. The group in a news release said it wants a calm cabin environment without conversations that could drown out safety briefings and messages.
"We will be mobilizing around this," said Caldwell, whose union led pressure that forced the Transportation Security Administration to back off its plan to allow small knives on planes.
Carriers including Delta and AMR Corp.'s American Airlines said customers like things as they are.
"Delta has years of customer feedback," Paul Skrbec, a Delta spokesman, said in an e-mail. "The overwhelming sentiment is to continue with a policy that would not allow voice communications while in flight."
American's customers "are supportive of the current FCC policy of no cellphone usage in-flight," Andrea Huguely, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mail.
At United Continental's United Airlines, "customers have expressed concern about how the use of cellphones inflight will impact their experience onboard," Luke Punzenberger, a spokesman, said in an interview.
JetBlue Airways Corp. collected feedback that "indicates people may not want the current FCC policy to change," Sharon Jones, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "If the FCC's new policy does go into effect, we would prioritize making the cabin comfortable and welcoming for all - for those who want cell service and for those who like peace and quiet."
The episode caught the attention of Representative Greg Walden, an Oregon Republican and chairman of a House subcommittee that oversees the FCC.
"Like most Americans, when I heard the news that the FCC was considering allowing cellphone calls on commercial flights, I was concerned to say the least," Walden said.
"This will surely be a spirited topic of discussion" the next time FCC commissioners are summoned to appear before the subcommittee, Walden said in a Nov. 22 e-mail.

East gets past Tuscola to clinch second place in WNCAC
Tue. April 30, 2013 at 10:29 p.m. | By Brittany Jackson
EAST FLAT ROCK — Picked to finished dead-last in the 3-A portion of the WNC Athletic Conference before the season started, East Henderson and first-year head coach Josh Miller proved the doubters wrong Tuesday night as the Eagles clinched second place in the 3-A portion of the conference with a 5-4 win over visiting Tuscola.
And that's not all.
"We just clinched second place in the conference, but we will also have a home playoff game in the first round this season, which hasn't been done here at East in at least 10 years," Miller said. "We're just a little bit excited."
Zack Oberlies pitched all seven innings with nine strikeouts, a walk and the Mountaineers' four runs on nine hits. He was also 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Fresh off Friday's 9-3 win over first-place West Henderson, Tuscola jumped out to a 2-0 lead off Zach Lennane's (2-for-3) two-run homer in the top of the second inning. But East didn't let its own bats go silent.
In the bottom of the second Austin Fisher (1-for-3) sent a solo home run of his own over the left-field fence to make things 2-1.
The Mountaineers responded in the third with Taylor Owens' RBI single that dropped behind second base to score Lennane, but the Eagles' three runs still in the third gave them the lead.
After Patrick Jackson walked, Seth Owen's bunt single moved Jackson to third base, which opened up the way for Jackson to score on Josh Conard's bunt single to make it 3-2, Tuscola. Owen then scored on a throwing error by Tuscola pitcher Forrest Kerslake to first base trying to catch Conard stealing.
With the score tied at 3 the Eagles tacked on one more run when Oberlies' double dropped in Conard for the 4-3 lead heading into the fourth.
"Our guys are a great core group; they play as a team, they don't give up and they battle to the end. They're willing to do the little things to get a 'W,' " Miller said. "It was a very well-played game on both sides."
Tuscola tied it one more time in the fourth on Charles Worrell's sacrifice RBI.
Battling a full count in the bottom of the fifth, Owen (2-for-3) pounded the ball over the right field fence for his second home run of the season and the final run of the night.
"It has been an absolute dogfight for second place in the conference," Miller said, "and these boys stepped up and got it done."
East (12-9, 8-5 WNCAC) will travel to West to round up both teams' conference seasons on Thursday for a 7 p.m. start.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (6/21/13) - Professional MBA (PMBA) students from WKU recently worked with international MBA students from Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 (Lyon University) in France to assist Handicap International as part of a faculty-led study-abroad program. Handicap International, a charity headquartered in Lyon, France, won the Nobel Peace Prize and is best known for assisting victims of land mines around the world.
WKU's PMBA students were hosted by Lyon University and worked before, during and after their May French study-abroad trip on international teams to address the Handicap International project. Ten WKU and 12 Lyon graduate students in business were asked to come up with ideas to expand the direct sales the charity uses to raise funds.
"The project was valuable as a real-world international business experience. Working with French students and experiencing the French social and business culture was enlightening," said PMBA student Jim Gaffney, Medical Director at Hosparus.
PMBA students visited the Handicap International exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland.
The PMBA program received an email June 20 showing Handicap International advancing marketing ideas in Germany into which the MBA student teams had suggestions. Eric Frandeboeuf, Manager of Marketing, Communication, and Sales for Handicap International was particularly impressed with the presentation of the ideas generated by the MBA teams, saying "(They) made me feel like I was a real client" and "their ideas were excellent."
WKU's Professional MBA (PMBA) students visited Lyon to learn about business in France and the European Union. "Lyon is the second largest city in France and the center of many French businesses," said Dr. Bob Hatfield, Associate Dean of the Gordon Ford College of Business.
PMBA students made visits to French businesses such as Compagnie du Rhône, a leader in hydropower; Cité de l'Environnement, a pioneer in construction which generates more power than consumed; and Hameau du Bœuf, the largest winery business in the Beaujolais region.
The visits were coordinated by Lyon University, the large and influential business college in Lyon with more than 6,000 business students, including PhD students. WKU has a relationship with the Lyon University and has hosted French MBA students for visits to WKU.
WKU's PMBA program is an "executive" program preparing the current and next generation of organizational leaders. WKU PMBA students have ranked in the top category of MBA programs based upon the standardized exit exam in the past two years. Students on this trip had the excellence of their WKU preparation highlighted.
WKU PMBA students visited Compagnie du Rhône, Lyon's largest producer of hydropower.
PMBA student William F. Skaggs, WKU's Director of Annual Giving, said: "It was rewarding to work with students from a well-respected international program and know that the quality of our WKU performance was highly respected."
According to Jeff Katz, Dean of the Gordon Ford College of Business, "We are an applied college of business and very proud that our professional MBA students are able to experience global business on a first-hand basis. Our excellent faculty-led study abroad programs are designed to provide unique learning experiences for students in all degree programs offered by our college. We encourage our students to be global business leaders."

This unit draws on contemporary knowledge about diversity of student learning needs and the teaching and learning of new and traditional literacies. In contemporary classrooms, the diversity apparent in student needs is increasingly recognised as are the funds of knowledge students bring to learning contexts and the desirability of student voice. In the contemporary communications environment, the nature of texts and meaning-making is being altered by new technologies requiring expanded definitions of literacy.
Through the use of core and elective materials, this unit involves participants in investigating ways in which teachers can engage the diverse students they work with in developing new and traditional literacies. Core materials engage participants with current debates, issues in the field, teaching strategies and resources. Core materials emphasise the importance of drawing on students' strengths and funds of knowledge and empowering them through a range of literate practices. Participants then select a specific area on which to focus their study.
Participants specialise through engagement with elective materials and employ research skills to self-source materials related to their interest. They may focus on developing ways of engaging and teaching literacies to students with particular educational needs or they may choose to investigate a literacies related issue (for example, motivation through connecting with funds of knowledge or engagement through ICT). Within the selected specialisation, participants research, develop, implement and reflect on a school-based application of their learning.
1. Critical reflection essay 50%. Critical reflection essay on research readings on a negotiated topic (2500-3000 words)
2. Application of learning (series of lessons OR presentation) 50%. Application of learning based on research (design, implementation and reflection on a series of literacy sessions or a digital resource to support personalised student learning) (2500-3000 words or equivalent)
Students who fail a hurdle requirement will be ineligible for a Pass Conceded grade for that unit and will receive a result of no more than 44% for that unit, waived under special consideration arrangements.

1 Harry's Roadhouse
96-B Old Las Vegas Hwy.
The allure of Harry's Roadhouse is attributable to three factors that work perfectly together.
First, the atmosphere is fantastic. With a beautiful back patio, a sunny front patio, a bright and airy front dining room, a dark and cozy bar, there's always a nook to meet your mood. You can be sure you'll run into people you know on a Sunday, flipping through the paper and slurping coffee. The feeling of community fostered here is its second great quality.
But the third, and the best, is the food. Harry's hits the sweet spot between straight-up diner food (pancakes, French toast, huevos) and the kinds of things you couldn't (or wouldn't) make at home. The scrapple (a Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast meat delight) is a particular treat for displaced East Coasters. But the muffins, the coffee cake, the cinnamon rolls! Can we talk about the cinnamon rolls? So sweet, so tender, so freakin' addictive!
No wonder we're willing to form a line out the door.

Ships on opposite sides of ocean on Titanic trips
Two cruise ships on opposite sides of the Atlantic have embarked on journeys to visit the spot where the Titanic sank, but one that departed after a short stop on the Irish coast returned briefly when a passenger became ill.
Language was a barrier for immigrant on sinking Titanic
Imagine you're 18, traveling alone on the Titanic and don't speak a word of English. A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the ocean liner shudders as it slams into an iceberg. That's what happened to Anna Sofia (Turja) Lundi, one of only 714 to survive the voyage.
INTERACTIVE: Titanic's salvaged artifacts to be sold
Remnants of the Titanic disaster are being sold in a New York City auction. See an interactive timeline of how the items were salvaged and a slideshow of some of the pieces up for auction.
100 years later, Titanic-like disaster remains a risk
The sinking of the Titanic was one of the deadliest maritime accidents ever, and led to significant improvements in safety rules aimed at preventing similar calamities. Today's cruise ships are far better equipped to cope with emergencies. Disasters at sea are rare. Still, the question lingers: Could it happen again?

Charles Romaine's life appeared as fascinating as it was ironic. He survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 only to get struck and killed by a New York cab a block from his home 10 years later.

This is a place that has a deep connection to the tragedy. Halifax is 700 miles west of the spot where the ocean liner hit an iceberg; the ships bringing bodies back to land arrived starting late in April.

A 6-foot-long model of the Titanic – built on a scale of 1 to 144 of the original ocean liner -- is not just a showboat. With a custom-built rudder, propellers and remote control, it's made to sail, all the while looking like its namesake, down to the tiniest detail.

Fran Reynolds never met her great-grandparents. But, chances are, she knows far more about them then the average great-granddaughter. That's because Samuel Beard Risien and his second wife, Emma Jane, died aboard the Titanic 100 years ago this week.
Titanic museums to mark anniversary of sinking
Titanic museums in the Smoky Mountains and Branson, Mo., have told the ship's story to 7 million visitors in the past six years. Now the attractions are marking the Titanic centennial by sponsoring a Coast Guard cutter to take 1.5 million rose petals to the North Atlantic site where the ship sank 100 years ago.

He's speaking from experience, gun control is an election loser.
Bill Clinton to Democrats: Don't trivialize gun culture – Byron Tau – POLITICO.com.
Clinton recalled Al Gore's 2000 campaign against George W. Bush in Colorado, where a referendum designed to close the so-called gun show loophole shared the ballot with the presidential ticket. Gore publicly backed the proposal, while Bush opposed it.
Though the referendum passed with 70 percent of the vote, Gore lost the state. Clinton said that the reason was because a good chunk of the referendum's opponents were single-issue voters who automatically rejected Gore as anti-gun.
And Clinton said that passing the 1994 federal assault weapons ban "devastated" more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers in the 1994 midterms — and cost then-Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D-Wash.) his job and his seat in Congress.

From LeakyPedia
Sirius Black was a pure-blood wizard, best friend of James Potter, and the godfather of Harry Potter. He was an unregistered animagus, who took the form of a black dog, and one of the Marauders. In 1981 he was accused of the murder of Peter Pettigrew and 13 Muggles, even though he was innocent. Sirius went to Azkaban prison without a trial and stayed there until escaping in 1993.
[edit] Biographical information
Born: 1959 or 1960
Died: 1996 in the Death Room in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries
Blood Status: Pure-blood
Also known as: Padfoot, Snuffles
[edit] Character development
Maybe 1-2 paragraphs here
[edit] Appearances
[edit] Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Sirius is mentioned in the opening chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when Hagrid answers Professor Dumbledore's question regarding the motorbike he, Hagrid, is riding. Hagrid answers that he borrowed it from Sirius. We later learn that this seemingly simple transaction occured not long before Sirius is arrested for the murder of Peter Pettigrew and 13 Muggles.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Sirius Black is not mentioned in Chamber of Secrets.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Sirius Black is one of the main characters of this book. He has escaped from the wizard prison Azkaban, which Harry and the Ministry think that he did so he can kill Harry for his revenge on Voldemort. We later learn that he is Harry's Godfather and was best friends with his father. We also learn that he has escaped to unleash his revenge on Peter Pettigrew, who is an animagus and transforms into Scabbers, Ron's rat, who framed Black for the death of the Potter's. He later escapes on Buckbeak, failing to kill Pettigrew.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
After escaping the fate of a Dementor's kiss at Hogwarts, Black fled Europe outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. Although he did communicate with Harry Potter while he was studying at Hogwarts, he sent his owls very rarely to avoid suspicion. He later returned to Great Britain after Harry informed him that his scar has been hurting. He later hid in a cave located in Hogsmeade to give Harry advice, after mysteriously being entered into the Triwizard Tournament. He later told Harry that Igor Karkaroff is a former death eater, first put away by Alastor Moody. [1] Harry also told Sirius that he had seen "Bartemius Crouch" on the Marauder's Map but Sirius told him to focus on the second task instead. After Crouch Sr's mysterious disappearance, Sirius urged Harry to practice his defensive spells and not to wander off on his own.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Sirius loans his house, in London, to the Order of the Phoenix for its headquarters where he and Buckbeak must remain in hiding. Belonging to an ancient pure blood family, Black leaves at the age of sixteen to stay at the Potters, rather than to continue living with his family. Reminding him of his racist kin, Sirius is not kind to his house elf Kreacher. Constrained by his confinement at number 12 Grimmauld Place, Black recklessly accompanies Harry to Platform 9 3/4 in his animagus dog form. Later, in the Department of Mysteries, Black is killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
If applicable, maybe a paragraph here.
[edit] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
If applicable, maybe a few paragraphs here.
[edit] Portrayals within films
Sirius Black is portrayed by English actor, musician and filmmaker Gary Leonard Oldman. Gary Oldman only started doing the Harry Potter films because he needed money, but after a while, he grew fond of his character: Sirius Black, and went on for further films in Harry Potter as Sirius Black. (more to come)
[edit] Characterisation
[edit] Outward appearance
The first description of Sirius Black appears at the beginning of Chapter 2 of Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry has come down for breakfast and the Dursleys are watching the news on the TV. There is a report about an escaped prisoner, only referred to as Black [2]. Sirius is seen looking gaunt, with elbow length, matted and tangled hair.
Harry Potter later describes Sirius as resembling a vampire with his sunken face, shadowed eyes and waxy white skin [3]. This description is further expanded on when Harry faces Black for the first time in the Shrieking Shack, when this combination of tightly stretched, waxy skin, and deep eye sockets makes Harry think of a corpse whose yellow teeth are bared.[4] During this confrontation Sirius is described as being tall, but his features (in particular his wrist and arms) are described as wasted and shrunken.
When Sirius speaks it is with a hoarseness that may be due to its lack of use in the past 12 years. [4] During a conversation on their way up to the castle, Sirius smiles in delight at the prospect of Harry coming to live with him. Harry is surprised at the change in his appearance caused by this smile, noticing that it makes him look as though a younger man was shining through the gaunt face. (PoA20)
We know that this degraded state of his appearance is due to his time in Azkaban because Harry finds a photograph of Sirius at Harry's parent's wedding. In this photograph, taken a couple of years before his arrest, Sirius is seen to be handsome. [5]
Sirius is seen three times in Goblet of Fire. In the first instance we see Sirius' head emerge from the fire of Gryffindor Tower and Harry notes that he more closely resembles the Sirius in the wedding photo of Harry's parents than the man he rescued from the dementors. Sirius' hair is short and clean and he has put on some weight. The only thing that has not changed is the haunted look in his eye. This is the first clear instance of Sirius' outward appearance reflecting his inner emotional state.
Later in Goblet of Fire, after Harry, Ron and Hermione meet up with Sirius during a Hogsmead weekend and we see that his is reverting back to his thin, bedraggled appearance.
[edit] Personality
"Personally, I'd have welcomed a dementor attack. A deadly struggle for my soul would have broken the monotony nicely. You think you've had it bad, at least you've been able to get out and about, stretch your legs, get into a few fights.... I've been stuck inside for a month."
--Sirius Black to Harry Potter (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)Hermione: "You don't think he has become…sort of…reckless…since he's been cooped up in Grimmauld Place? You don't think he's…kind of…living through us?"
Harry: "What d'you mean, 'living through us'?"
Hermione: "I mean...well, I think he'd love to be forming secret Defence societies right under the nose of someone from the Ministry... I think he's really frustrated at how little he can do where he is…so I think he's keen to kind of…egg us on."
— Hermione Granger on Sirius in 1996[6]
True to a Gryffindor student's ideals, Black is very brave and loyal, as shown by his participation in both wars and willingness to die for those he loved. He is a talented and clever wizard, though he was also quite arrogant and mischievous as a teen, with a habit of bullying people with his best friend, James, namely Severus Snape. Sirius could be vicious towards those whom he disliked, sometimes unjustifiably; by sending Snape off to the Shrieking Shack as a teenager, he could have gotten Snape killed, he risked exposing his friend Remus' condition as a werewolf, and he risked getting himself and his friends expelled if his "prank" had worked.
He can also be cruel to his also-cruel house-elf, Kreacher, who praised his hated mother and made disparaging comments to members of the Order, but the true reason for his cruelty towards Kreacher was that the horrible house-elf was a living reminder of the home and family he despised. At times, he was irresponsible, risking getting caught by the Ministry because he felt stir-crazy in his house and advising Harry to take impulsive actions. Much of this can likely be attributed to the years Sirius spent in Azkaban, stunting his emotional development and making him especially eager to spend time with, and protect, his loved ones. However, his true heart never wavered, even during his stay in Azkaban.
Despite Sirius' good nature, he has, at times, shown to be capable of an explosive temper when angered. This trait is shared with both his mother, Walburga Black, and cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. His years in Azkaban contributed greatly to his short-fuse, which was particularly evident during the events of 1993 and 1994 in which he tried persistently to capture Peter Pettigrew. It should be noted, however, that for all his anger towards Pettigrew, Sirius was capable of respecting Harry's request to not murder the man he escaped Azkaban to kill; opting instead to expose Pettigrew (a plan that unfortunately failed).
Though Sirius was a kind, loyal, courageous and selfless person, he has also displayed contradictory behavior on occaison. An instance of this occurs in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in which Sirius claimed one's true character became apparent in the way they treated their inferiors rather than their equals but at the same time was cruel to Kreacher, who admittedly was also quite cruel to him. He also claimed that no one was purely good or purely evil, and that everyone had both light and darkness inside him or her, but his behaviour towards Snape strongly suggested that he firmly believed him to have no good qualities at all. (However, this would be no different then how most people would consider Voldemort.) However, his flaws can be overlooked by his greatest redeeming quality: the intense level of affection he, like many others, is capable of feeling. He loved James and Lily dearly, and he went on to transfer that attachment to his godson, Harry.
[edit] Magical accomplishments and skills
Sirius was described as a powerful wizard by Minerva McGonagall, his former teacher. One of his dearest friends, Remus Lupin, also stated that he had been one of the cleverest Hogwarts students of his time.
- Animagus: Sirius was able to become an Animagus at the early age of fifteen, assuming the shape of a large black dog very much like the grim. As he was unregistered, he was able to take advantage of this ability to elude his Ministry captors.
- Transfiguration Mastery: Sirius, along with Remus Lupin, could perform human transfiguration on Peter Pettigrew, forcing him out of his Animagus form.
- Nonverbal Magic: Sirius was able to perform human transfiguration and defensive spells non-verbally.
- Expert Duellist: In his fifth year, Sirius helped James Potter humiliate Severus Snape, who was an exceptionally talented wizard even in his youth. During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Sirius duelled with Lucius Malfoy and Antonin Dolohov and with the help of his godson, Harry, he defeated both of them. He was also able to hold his own against his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, who was Voldemort's most powerful Death Eater. However, he made the fatal mistake of underestimating Bellatrix, and even openly mocked her, before being hit by a spell that caused him to fall through the Veil, killing him. Sirius was also known to infuse physical contact into his duelling style, such as when he rammed Dolohov with his shoulder and punched Malfoy in the face. It should be noted that this would normally be considered illegal, but considering Sirius and his allies were fighting for their lives, it could be overlooked in that sort of situation.
- Killing Curse (Possibly): Sirius was confident in his ability to slaughter Pettigrew. Though it is unknown how he intended to do it.
- Healing spells: Sirius healed an injury from Wartcap Powder as soon as he received it.
[edit] Possessions
Sirius owned a flying motorbike which he and James had used on at least one occasion to flee from two policemen, Sergeant Fisher and PC Anderson, and three unknown people on brooms. (Harry Potter Prequel) On the night of the Potter's deaths, Sirius leant this motorbike to Hagrid in order for Hagrid to take Harry from his parent's destroyed house to Dumbledore. Very shortly after this night, Sirius was arrested and the motorbike ended up in hands of Arthur Weasley (HBP).
In The Order of the Phoenix we learn that after Sirius left his parent's house he was able to get a house due to his Uncle Alphard leaving him some money. The whereabouts of this house are unknown.
Sirius owned a magical mirror that, when used with its pair, can act as a communication device and he also owned a magical knife that could open any lock. Both of these objects were given to Harry as gifts by Sirius. (OotP)
Sirius is able to escape from Hogwarts at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban by the use of the Hippogriff, Buckbeak. We later see Buckbeak at 12 Grimmauld Place who is also in hiding with Sirius. After Sirius' death, at the beginning of Half-Blood Prince Dumbledore comes to collect Harry and also to inform him of the possessions he has been given. One item on this list is Buckbeak who Harry says can stay with Hagrid. This implies that although Buckbeak was the property of Hogwart's and was in the care of Hagrid, once Sirius in effect stole him in order to escape, Buckbeak became his possession.
On the death of his mother, Sirius inherited Number 12 Grimmauld Place which included the possession of his family's house elf, Kreacher. On Sirius' death, this house and house-elf were bequethed to Harry Potter.
[edit] Family
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was one of the largest and oldest pure-blood wizarding families in Britain. Many wizarding families in Britain are distantly related to the House of Black. The Black family tree is displayed in the drawing room of the family home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London, England on an intricate tapestry, as an ornate mural. It starts in the Middle Ages and shows the dominant line of the family up to the present day.
By the late twentieth century, the House of Black had become extinct in the male line with the deaths of Sirius and Regulus Black, neither of whom had children. The female line remained extant through the Malfoy family and Teddy Lupin, though the latter descends from a Black who was disowned."...my parents, with their pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal..."
—Sirius Black to Harry Potter on his family's values[7]
The Black family traces its origin back to the Middle Ages. They claim to have entirely magical ancestry, but as Sirius Black informed his godson Harry Potter, no true pure-blood families existed by the twentieth century. The pure-blood families like the Blacks simply removed Muggles and Squibs from their family trees. The Blacks place a great importance on blood purity, considering themselves akin to royalty in the wizarding world and disdaining Muggles, Squibs, Blood traitors and Muggle-borns. The family motto, which can be found on the family crest, is Toujours Pur, which means "Always Pure" in French. Many members took this phrase very seriously.

Because of their views, a large number of the Black family members practise the Dark Arts and supported Lord Voldemort during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. A few Blacks even became Death Eaters, while many others never took the Dark Mark but believed in the "purification" of the wizarding world nevertheless.[2] A few members of the family, however, disagreed with the traditional views of their family; Sirius Black, for example, joined the Order of the Phoenix, as did Nymphadora Tonks, a distaff member of the Black family. Both were murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange née Black, Sirius's cousin and Tonks's aunt, in battle.
With Sirius's death, the male line of the Black family ended; the female line continues through the descendants of his cousins Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy, his second cousin, once removed, Arthur Weasley, the Burke family, the Crouches, the Longbottoms and possibly the Potter family.

"He was Tony Montana, but the world will remember him by another name: Scarface." This 1983 crime drama directed by Brian de Palma has been ranked by the American Film Institute as the tenth best gangster movie ever, and Al Pacino's gritty performance was nominated for a Golden Globe award.
The story line concerns a young Cuban immigrant who gets to Miami Beach, hooks up with a criminal gang, and becomes a ruthless killer. Scarface is a violent movie with car bombs, chainsaws, guns and drugs, but it has become a cultural icon. Its black and white poster is still in print and still very popular.
