I actually despise auto-save. There are countless times that I make changes to a document to see what would happen as opposed to making permanent changes. The worst case is the grade book program from my school - we used to have to hit save to write our changes to the grade book server. Now, if I accidentally overwrite a students grade, there's no way to get the old grade back.

Located on a unique tower of rock detached from the main cliff. This ass-bruising route starts on a low angle slab, gets vertical and gets funky when the climber comes into contact with a huge pocket formation. Moving past this mondo-pocket requires skill, stamina and a well-worn thinking cap. You can go left or right to escape the pocket but either way presents its own challenges.

You don't have to tell a guy who has spent his professional life as a street reporter the difference between perception and reality.
Every day we're asked to wade through the spin, the misconceptions, the petty jealousies to get to, as Jack Webb would famously say; "Just the facts, ma'am."
But just as we have to understand the difference between the two we must also understand the power that exists when perception BECOMES reality, that somehow you can will a belief into becoming real just by saying it often enough.
I can't help but feel that's what happening this week as Erie City Council member Joe Schember submits his resignation, citing the "distraction" that comes with the uproar over his position on the dais and as a vice president of PNC Bank.
In recent months PNC has been asking some officers to step down from public life; whether that's a set policy or a concern about time commitments or there are other reasons isn't clear.
What is clear is that the company did not make that request of Schember, which raised some eyebrows over why some executives would be treated differently than others.
As a major financial institution in town, PNC Bank does a lot of business with the City, and it is a legitimate concern to have a member of council who must abstain from a lot of key votes.
But because a guy works for a bank doesn't mean that corporate interests are being placed above public ones, no matter how often you go to the podium to pound that message.
The bottom line is that PNC Bank has the right to hold different employees to different standards.
That in itself does not constitute malfeasance.
The bottom line is that the City loses access to one of the top financial minds in public service, not because of wrongdoing, not because of the hint of wrongdoing, but because of the perception of wrongdoing brought about by a select few banging the gong so loudly and so often that people just start believing that something's there.
Where there's smoke, there's fire right?
Not always.
There are those tonight who see victory in bringing about Joe Schember's resignation.
I'm not one of them.

There has to be an answer to this battery usage problem.
I haven't made any calls, used any data, sent any SMSs for several days now yet still need to recharge at least twice a day compared to every 2-3 days minimum prior to Anna.
I've reinstalled Anna, removed all widgets, using a dark theme and have uninstalled most of my apps.
App Stop shows the only app running in the background is Clock.
I'm still loathe to do a factory reset until I find a suitable way to reinstall paid-for apps without calling support. There is just no obvious way that I can find to do it via the phone or Nokia Suite.
Can anyone suggest a method for the latter paragraph please?
If this continues I'm going to have use another phone as I can't trust my N8 any longer even to rely on it as a morning alarm.

Hi all
This battery issue is doing my head in. Three days in a row I've done same thing as I've had all day meetings in the city. Fully charged @ 7am when I leave home (on charge all night).
Each day email sync every five minutes (receive and read abt 50 emails); 5-6 x 2-3 minute phone calls; 2-3 x sms replies; 6-7 short email replies; 15-20 minutes web browsing; no wifi (scanning set to off)
Day 1 - BM reported 100% @ 7am (2.7 days active) phone dead @ 4pm
Day 2 - (100% 2.2 days active reprted @ 7am) arrive home at 6pm with BM reporting 63% battery left.
Home screen - 7%
Mail - 6%
Call (3G) - 7%
Call (2G) - 1%
Web - 4%
Widget UI - 1%
Opera Mobile - 1%
Other apps - 4%
Background - 6%
Day 3 - (100%, 2.4 days active reported) arrive home 6.30pm BM reporting 15% Battery left
Home screen - 9%
Mail - 9%
Call (3G) - 8%
Web - 5%
Widget UI - 2%
Opera Mobile - 2%
Other apps - 1%
Background - 49%
So the change in background useage from 6% one day to 49% the next. Seems to pretty much explain the extra drain on battery or BM is totally incorrect.
If BM is correct all I can assume is that under Anna their are some (hidden) background services that don't turn off as designed sometimes.
Has me baffled.

This problem to me is not solved at all. Before anna 2/2 update I had everything switched off to maximize my battery life. widgets off line, only gsm mode on, wlan search off, email off, no secreen saver, everything you can imagine was off but battery monitor widget, and that way I could get 3+ sometimes 4 days before needing a charge. Now, after anna 2/2 and nokia maps 3.08 I cannot get 2 days with the same specs. the most draining feature seems to be the background on my case. as the battery monitor shows. now I have to thank nokia to haven't fixed this well reported bug, more than 3 months, after releasing the anna 2/2. but any way. they must be more concerned on moving people to the new windows OS phones. and good help us, as the world knows how capable microsoft is, of releasing bugged OS's.

Both mine and wife's January 2011 - both have problem.
Still baffled as there seems to be times when ok. I've gotten rid of nokia battery monitor and downloaded a simple app (battery info) from ovi that tells you charge level and capacity. Wanted to take NBM out as a possible variable.
Anyway, a couple of days ago fully charged in car on way to work. Never touched the phone for a few hours as was in a meeting from 9am - 11am. Phone downloaded email every 5 minutes as per setting and a couple of missed calls. I then received one 2 minute call at about 11.30am and checked the battery & down to 60%.
Next day fully charged on way to work. Normal useage all day. At around 5.30pm battery still at 81%
Both days Battery info app told me 99.9% charge & 1210 (+/- 8) mAh when I arrived at work.
Really seems to be intermittent for me. All I can think is there is (are) some background service(s) / app (s) that sometimes don't switch off as they should. For me this seems to be intermittent, but when it happens the battery goes pretty quick.

I have fixed my n8 anna battery problem. I found that the nokia mail application has been causing this. It seems to cause the increased battery drain by continuously connecting (or trying to connect) to the mail server every day. I did not delete the mail application but fixed it with the following -
1. Go to Settings
2. Select Application Settings
3. Select @ Mail
4. Select your displayed email address
5. Select Auto-retrieval
6. Select Retrieval days
7. DESELECT or UNTICK the boxes for all the days.
8. Select OK
9. Exit Setup
So now I still have my @mail program working however it will only "check for new mail"
when I actually use it to connect to my gmail account.
I hope this helps as it seems to have fixed my n8 battery problem.
15-11-2011 7:22
I don't have a mailbox setup so that's not going to be my problem.
Still having battery drain since updating to Anna so today I bit the bullet and did a hard reset. Also formatted mass storage and the memory.
I'm going to leave it bog standard for a few days (not even going to put basic things like contacts on) and see how it goes.
This will either prove/disprove to me that some N8 models have a battery problem with Anna.
15-11-2011 8:07
I too am having this issue after upgrading to Ann a couple of days ago. Battery only now lasts a about 5/6 hours.
Anyone found a fix for this yet?
I used to get 2/3 days out of my battery as I only makes a couple of calls a day and texting.
I use the phone for alarm clock and calandar reminders and as it's constantly going flat the alarm and reminders are not working. It's really inconvenient and annoying.
For those that think it's my app IT'S NOT.
The only thing that has changed on the phone is the Anna Update and everything was fine before the update.
Is there any way I can revert the OS to before the update. I think it's ridiculus to have to format everything and reset it. Thats just unacceptable.
I notice that with app stop the following is al ways running:
ALL WRT Widgets (Never have widgets to online mode and never have.)
QTAPPBOOSTER(Don't even know what this is)
Should all these be continually running. If I kill them the battery life increases but no where near what it shouldbe.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm never buying another nokia phone again. This phone has just been plagued with problems.

My phone was working fine after the anna update, but recently there was another minor upgrade after which my phone battery has been acting weird, In one day it died in 6 hours, next day after 12 hours & the day after that in 1 day, I do have either wi-fi or gprs continuously on for some applications, but before with higher usage the battery would usually last atleast 1.5 day. Whenever the phone is taken to NSC, they format the phone & tell the problem has been dealt with, but no reason is given as to what the problem actually is.

James Cameron himself wasn't happy that the Avatar online trailer preceded the Avatar Day IMAX 3-D screenings on Friday. The reason that happened, according to Fox, is that the trailer went out at the same time as the first 10 AM screenings in
New Zealand Tokyo on the other side of the world. It was a synchronous global release. The Apple site was so overwhelmed with clicks that it crashed at first. More than 4 million people streamed the Avatar trailer on that first day, breaking the prior record of 1.7 million set by Star Trek. So that was good news for Fox. Curiosity was high.
And many people went to see the 16 minutes of footage assembled by Cameron for Avatar Day---designed to show exactly what the immersive huge-screen 3-D experience would be like. Now, most of my friends--clearly not the target audience--didn't bother to check it out. And the theater I went to, The Bridge (which has a proper IMAX screen) was not packed. (There was another later show.) Some people weren't able to get in to their local cinemas, though. (UPDATE: Fox asserts that "reservations for all showings were completely booked." And Variety reports that Cameron slipped into the Bridge cinema Friday night.)
The people around me---presumably eager fans of Cameron movies--whooped and cheered and loved the material, which was introduced by the writer-director himself and offered a different male-skewed slice of what I'd seen at Comic-Con. Cameron is selling the concept of this guy, Jake Sully (Aussie actor Sam Worthington), going on a fantastic mission to another planet, Pandora, where he becomes one of the natives, in effect, and falls in love. It's Last of the Mohicans meets Dances with Wolves in the future, on sci-fi steroids. Guys will love this. And there's romance for the girls, too. Worthington and Zoe Saldana's facial expressions come through loud and clear with this latest most sophisticated Weta Digital iteration of performance capture.
People are getting hung up on whether or not this is animation. What does it matter, if you are pulled into the story? Spielberg and Peter Jackson's upcoming Tintin is using the same exact process--without mixing in a live action story as well. Rival studio execs including Paramount's Rob Moore and Adam Goodman and Marvel's Kevin Feige showed up at the screening too, to check out the process.
One moviegoer who loved the footage admitted that he almost didn't come because the online trailer disappointed him. That trailer is a tiny fraction of what the movie experience is like. And those of us at Avatar Day just got a taste. I'm not worried about Avatar pulling audiences (it's real final cost will determine its ultimate success), because if the relatively primitive Polar Express succeeded--on the merits of being utterly new and different-- on December 18 Avatar will deliver far more. Curiosity is key. Will you check it out when the time comes?
Mark | August 24, 2009 9:58 AM
Tintin is spelt "Tintin"... Not TinTin or Tin Tin or Tin-Tin. I think you have him confused with a certain American dog.
Minoru | August 24, 2009 7:38 AM
I saw Avatar preview at 10am in Tokyo. A guy from Fox told we were the first viewer in the world. It was only 20% full on 500 seats theater. Some movie business people seemed there. The teaser made me worried that dinosaur and Dragon wasn't CG challenging theme any more. We are familiar with those visuals. This movie won't pay...
Mel | August 24, 2009 4:32 AM
The teaser was out a good day before I went to the screening here in Australia. I purposely didn't watch it, and I'm glad, because compared to the 3D screening, the teaser was underwhelming. But those of us who did go to the preview will no doubt be telling everyone we know how amazing it was, and come December I'll be lining up for the movie and dragging friends along with me.
@kpk - My screening was about 75% full. I had two tickets but couldn't get anyone to come with me because they weren't able to get off work early to get to the screening in time. I think that stopped a lot of people.
kpk | August 22, 2009 11:14 AM
Well, sorry to disappoint you Thompson, but it doesn't seem like many peoples come to the Avatar Day event:
chad bennett | August 22, 2009 11:05 AM
This article is incorrect. The following statement is a mistake sorry. So I guess that Fox gave out bogus info. Why?
"The reason that happened, according to Fox, is that the trailer went out at the same time as the first 10 AM screenings in New Zealand on the other side of the world. It was a synchronous global release."
I live in New Zealand and was at the 1st screening which was at 4pm yesterday which would have made it 9pm Friday evening in Los Angeles.
Just keeping you honest.

[…] Posted By Stephanie Rogers Published November 22, 2011 var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true}; Breaking Dawn, Part 1 opened in theaters last Friday, November 18th. I mainly know this because my sister, a self-professed "Twi-Hard" talked about it nonstop for about two weeks. She also went to the midnight showing. I've seen all the previous films in the series and wrote about New Moon awhile ago, and I'm well aware of the feminist criticism of both the novels and the films. I personally find the films fairly nuanced (don't judge), and I think they invite many different, more complex readings than they're often given. However, I'd say the series is pretty antifeminist overall. I suppose I'm most bothered by the disgusting, misogynist reaction to the fans of the Twilight Saga (who are mostly young women), and the disgusting, misogynist (and homophobic) reaction to Edward as a sparkly (read: totally, like, gay dude) vampire–as opposed to a super awesome killer vampire who, you know, doesn't sparkle. And it isn't surprising that it's mostly young dudes who lambast girls and women all over the net for loving Twilight, yet it's perfectly acceptable for them to male bond over the horrible franchise that is Transformers (and to simultaneously ogle Megan Fox's ass, of course). This is all for another post about The Rise of the Fangirl, though, which I will write one day. At the very least, it's important to discuss Twilight because it's the First Franchise Film Series Ever to directly target teen girls, and we should probably look at what that means for the future of films made for young women, especially since the Twilight Saga has been overwhelmingly successful at the box office. Luckily, I found an amazing interview with Dr. Natalie Wilson, who points out some major problems with the Twilight Saga, and who blogs for one of my favorite sites, Professor, What If …? […]

Buchanan Defends GOP Minority-Debate Duckers: Hillary's Not Speaking at Liberty U. or NRA
But beginning on yesterday's "Meet the Press" and continuing on today's "Morning Joe," Pat Buchanan has not hesitated to make a pragmatic political case in defense of the Republican candidates' decision. And alone, at least among pundits I've heard, he drew an interesting parallel to the venues the leading Dem candidate is skipping.
View video here.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: So yesterday, you and Tavis Smiley got into a little dust-up because people like me have been saying that Republicans should have shown up at the debate. Tavis was talking about how bad it was that Republicans stayed away, and you said "eh, makes sense to me that they're not going." Why?Pat concluded on an interesting note, drawing a parallel I haven't heard any other pundit make:
PAT BUCHANAN: The timing of it is one thing. We're 13 weeks out from the Iowa caucuses, and the guys that don't do well in Iowa and New Hampshire, they're going home for good, and the whole effort all the year is going down the tubes. African-Americans vote basically 90% Democratic, and there're very few of them in Iowa and New Hampshire, which are going to be the decisive states. So I say you go hunting where the ducks are; they're in Iowa and New Hampshire and frankly they're not at Morgan State [the historically black college in Baltimore where the Smiley debate was held]. The time, if you're going to make an appeal across the lines to Hispanics and African-Americans, first, with African-Americans, I would go through the churches rather than that debate routine over there. And secondly, you do that in the general election, and you don't get to the general election unless you get to Iowa and New Hampshire under your belt and you do well there.
So I can understand why a scheduler would say something like to Rudy Giuliani, "you know Mr. Mayor, do you really want to go down there and get hammered over why you were insensitive when those cops put 41 bullets into Amadou Diallo? You know, is that really what you want to be talking about and have on news bites for the next week?"
SCARBOROUGH: But Pat, doesn't it make sense at some point, though, to embrace a group of people that may only make up 10, 11 or 12% of the population but who vote against you 95% to 5%? At some point you need to step forward.
BUCHANAN: Let me tell you, Joe, what's happened to us since the Goldwater era, and it was after Johnson came out for civil rights and Goldwater voted against the bill, the only guy that did, Nixon did 18%, but that was in the gigantic landslide of 1972. I agree, you gotta reach out to the African-American community, and as it grows more affluent, and as it moves away from the civil rights area, you've got a real opportunity, I think, to increase your vote. And all you gotta do is increase it to 20% and that would be an enormous help. But my point is, this is not the time to do it. At this point, again, if Rudy gets beat in Iowa and New Hampshire, he's got real trouble. His one line down there is South Carolina, and the African-Americans are all in the Obama-Hillary race; that's where they're going.
So again, I don't see what point. It's like Hillary going down to [the late Jerry Falwell's] Liberty Baptist University or speaking to a right-to-life convention or an NRA convention. That's not what she's going to do now.My Take: I'd say Pat is giving solid campaign-consultant advice. Note how he puts the cautionary words to Rudy about getting into the Diallo issue into the mouth of an imaginary campaign scheduler. But sometimes candidates need to rise above the cautious counsel of their advisors and do what is bold and what is right. I sense this would have been one of those times.

Mister Merope's place of work is having a real life one on Monday...so we're baking [or not baking] today.
I'm going to start with these:
Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
No bake!!! yay
½ stick butter
½ tbsp water
1 tbsp cocoa
¾ cup oatmeal
¼ cup sugar
¼ tsp vanilla
powdered sugar
Combine the ingredients, roll them into a log and freeze for one hour.
Slice the log into ¼ inch sections (use fishing line, thin string or thread, unflavored dental floss, or a cheese slicer - knives don't work too well)
dust with powdered sugar if desired
I'm thinking of making a batch plain and one batch with peanut butter chips. Though slicing with chips might not work too well.
If I can find my "Stained Glass Cookie" recipe I'll post it later.

No matter how old you get, there's no shame in showing off your love for The Wizard of Oz. But the ultimate test of fandom? Phone and laptop cases starring Dorothy, Toto, and the rest of your favorites, of course. If you really need an excuse to buy one of these for yourself, consider the fact that 2014 is the 75-year anniversary of the classic flick. Sounds impossible, but it's true.

49ers' offer to Crabtree worth $20 million
Here is the first bit of information I've heard on what the 49ers have offered Crabtree. Here is a link to compare what other draft picks around him got: http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d810d9ec2&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true. Notice that the 5 year 20 mil, 16 mil guaranteed would actually be low for his 10th slot. The 26.5 mil with incentives, however, would be more in line with what a 10th pick should be getting. It would seem like based on this information they haven't made their final final offer, leaving some wiggle room at the top-end (something closer to Raji's contract).

Occupy protesters and progressive politicians call for end to corporate personhood
The hurdles set forth to amend the U.S. Constitution, outlined in Article V, are substantial. In order for an amendment to even be considered, a super majority of both houses of Congress must initiate the process, or two-thirds of states must call for the amendment. Proposed amendments passing this threshold are then adopted only after three-quarters of state legislatures ratify the proposed amendment. But that difficult road is one the protesters said they are ready to travel. "We are here on a rainy day with warm hearts and wet feet. We are the 100 percent, the humans. No corporation has every experienced the thrill of wet feet," said Gangs of America author Ted Nace. "We are the fools who go out on a wet day to fix a broken world. Eighty percent of the public want to fix this. That means we are halfway to our goal. What remains is organization, mobilization."
It would seem in a logical sense that during the November election no corporation will approach any polling place in America and cast a vote.
To vote, persons are put through all types of criteria before being able to cast a vote; some persons are unable to vote.
Since corporations have no vote in elections involving persons, the Citizens United case should be reversed IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE.
It was the ability to seek to use resources to influence voters.
And in fact it's precisely because corporations cannot vote that they should be allowed other methods of making their vocies heard.
Same goes for unions, non-profits, charities and other darlings of the progrssive movement.
Corporations are creatures of statute law, and that corporate law should be reconstituted such that the corporate artiface and limited liability are conditioned upon losing the status of person under the law.
They said that in some limited situation, they may share some rights with people.

I had MVP Baseball 2005 for PS2 last year, but they're not putting out a game this year. I absolutely loved the game, if only for the fact that you had control of your Minor league system from AAA, AA, and your high A ball teams, and you could also play the minor league games.
Does anybody have any recommendations for this year? And do any other games allow you to play your minor league games also? Thanks.

Wonder Woman
92-Year-Old Grandma Takes One Final, Daring Flight (VIDEO)
Late last August, I got a panicked call from my mom. "Holly, babe, Grandma's not doing well. I'm driving down tomorrow. How soon can you come?"
My dad's high-school buddy picked me up at the Kansas City airport. As we headed up to the family ranch, I braced myself. I'd studied death and bereavement in college, so I knew a great deal about the whole process. But I realized that watching my 92-year-old grandmother Dorothy Ellis go through it would be the hardest thing I'd faced yet.
When I walked into her room, she looked like she wanted to leap out of bed and scoop me up like she did when I was little. Instead, I spent the next five days sitting by her side, saying the Hail Mary and singing "Silent Night" with her while she drifted in and out of consciousness.
I was ripped apart inside when I had to return to New York, but she gave me a look that told me it was okay. I was sure I'd be back soon for her funeral.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I got another call from Mom a week later.
Mom: "Grandma's flying in a powered parachute tomorrow!"
I Googled it. It looked like a cross between a lawn mower and Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.
Me: "Are you nuts? You can't let Grandma go up in that thing! Put her on the phone."
Gram: "Hi, Sweetie."
Me: "Gram, you can't be serious about riding in this flying death-trap."
Gram: "Well, at my age, I figure I'm going to go one way or another!"
You can't argue with that.
And fly she did along the horizon. She looked as though she'd had the time of her life when she landed.
My uncle caught it all on camera, and I edited the footage. We chose the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. When you have a grandmother named Dorothy from Kansas, well, what other song is there?
There were times I got overwhelmed editing the video, but watching the way she claps like a 6-year-old on Christmas morning in it, I knew I owed it to her to share that amazing memory.
She seemed to have a resurgence of appetite and vitality after the flight, so we hoped we might have one more Thanksgiving with her. But when I spoke with her on Halloween, I had a feeling it might be the last time. It was.
Holly & her grandmother
She was the Grande Dame of our family, and we all feel a void without her. But I'm touched by the way strangers are embracing this story and sharing memories of their own loved ones.
And you know what? Gram would have been tickled to pieces by all the attention, too.
Do you have any memorable stories about your grandparents to tell?
This post was written by Holly Ellis who has produced both the Sundance-selected feature film, Prairie Love, and The Daily Stir at CafeMom.

Talking with . . . Ty Pennington: Building star nails trends
Ty Pennington
CFB: To what extent do you think Extreme Makeover has spurred the home-remodeling market?
I think what our show does is remind people the pure and simple joy that comes with loving the space you're in. People aren't necessarily going out and tearing down their home to start over like we do on the show, but they might see a family's reaction to a beautiful bedroom and decide to do that for themselves.
CFB: How has the recession affected construction prices or labor costs?
On the one hand, new-home construction is down, so that means some highly qualified contractors and subcontractors are looking for work. That means you might be able to find more affordable labor because they're eager to book jobs. But on the other hand, since fewer people are building a new home, that means more people are making changes in their current homes. I don't think we're seeing skyrocketing or plummeting materials costs. With labor, I think it's fair to say that, no matter what the economic climate, you get what you pay for when it comes to contractors and subs.
CFB: Are buyers looking for larger or smaller homes?
I think people are looking for homes that fit their needs, and that they are being much more deliberate about defining what those needs are. Sure, there are probably fewer folks seeking McMansions, but it's also true that a cute fixer-upper cottage may not fit their needs, too. Smaller doesn't always mean it's better or less expensive.
CFB: What item or feature do you see emerging on homeowners' list of must-haves during a renovation?
Energy efficiency is an important trend, and I see more and more homeowners choosing environmentally friendly materials when building or remodeling. My friends at Lumber Liquidators tell me that sales of bamboo flooring are up. This suggests to me that people are really starting to choose renewable resources when they can.
CFB: What materials used to be considered luxury but now are becoming standard?
Certainly hardwood flooring falls into that category, and perhaps some of the higher-end energy-efficient washers and dryers like the Kenmore HE2s, which save both energy and water.
CFB: What is the coolest new home gadget you've seen in the past year?
The other day, on one of our build sites, a cabinet maker pulled up pulling what looked like a little camping trailer. Then he busted it out and it became an incredible work bench. But I'd probably have to say the absolute coolest gadget right now is the iPhone. Think about it. You've got apps [applications] that can do everything. If you need a level, there's an app for it. If you need to take measurements, there's an app for it. If you need to snap a photo to show to someone at the hardware store, there's the camera. You can look up instructions or hints if you get stuck. And best of all, if you get injured it will tell you how to get to the nearest ER.
CFB: Name one of your worst construction mistakes.
Do we really have to go there? OK, it's probably a tie between the time I let someone else buy nails for my nail gun and ended up doing an entire deck with standard nails instead of galvanized, or the time that I forgot my work boots and thought I could survive on the construction site in flip flops. The sheet of MDF that fell on my toes taught me otherwise!
CFB: When was the last time you had a splinter?
Actually, I've got one right now on my thumb. Got it this morning. It's no fun. It makes updating my Facebook page and Tweeting from my BlackBerry very challenging.

A 'Cradle Song' or lullaby is a song by which children are made to fall asleep. In the present poem, the mother perhaps is reciting the lullaby. She describes the various places from which she has gathered the song that is descending gradually upon the eyelids of her child.
From the gardens of spice,which is filled with a strong and pleasant aroma of natural spicy herbs, the baby's mother starts gathering the most beautiful words to fill in the lyrics of the song for the lullaby. Her imagination leaves the spicy gardens and flies over the dark green fields of rice and paddy. From the rice fields across the fresh streams where plenty of lotus grows, glowing and glistening with dew she weaves and brings a lovely dream of fantasy for her baby.
She tells her baby to shut its eyes and see the wild fire-flies; or glow-worms- insects whose tails emit a greenish light at night; in its imagination. Imagine that these flies are dancing their flights around the fairy neem-a sacred Indian tree. The mother had stolen a 'lovely dream' from the poppy bole; the stem of the poppy plant which has a sleep producing effect upon the eyes. The idea is that the dream brought by the mother for her child is pleasant and is sure to induce sleep on the eyes of all children.
Finally the baby goes into a deep and sound sleep. The mother bids her child 'good-night'. In the golden light of the late evening produced by the clear starry skies, the stars from heaven look down upon the baby in its cradle. The mother place lovingly on her baby with soft affection ' A little lovely dream'.

AcademicMerit has updated its cloud-based professional development platform FineTune. The new release aims to help educators enhance their writing evaluation skills.
FineTune 2.0 comes with an improved user interface and "offers teachers embedded professional learning modules linked to each of the five categories of writing in the rubric," according to AcademicMerit. Teachers can access the modules from any web-enabled device.
Duxbury Public Schools in Massachusetts has adopted FineTune 2.0 for its English and Social Studies departments. The solution is helping "English and Social Studies teachers calibrate their evaluation of student writing, while at the same time gain a better understanding of the Common Core writing standards," said Karen Baynes, English language supervision for the district, in the prepared statement. "Not only does it make our scoring of assessments more efficient, but it facilitates an important dialogue among teachers about what makes for effective writing."
Additional information about the platform is available online.

Auto industry officials and experts in Michigan said finding the right name for a car model can be a project with a cost running into millions of dollars.
"In general, what you want is for the product to reflect these zeitgeists to the greatest extent possible, whatever the mood or spirit of the times is as experienced by the target market -- the design visual and the name to reflect that and people's ideals and aspirations," said Aaron Ahuvia, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Officials at auto companies said they can spend millions of dollars finding names, vetting them and using them in advertising the vehicles.
"You want to make sure a name has neutral or positive associations. If you have negative associations, you want to ask, 'Can I change it?'" said Mark Perry, director of product and advanced planning for Nissan Americas.
"Pinto as a name might be fine, but the association is negative," he said, referring to a Ford subcompact that became associated with reports of exploding gas tanks and was discontinued in 1980 after 11 years of production.
