I bought this parade book because I loved it so much. I've been reading it to my kids 20 times a day. Too much?
PS Super jealous my sista was in the parade years ago. Jeannine do you have any pics?!
Anyone have any tips for watching the parade live?
All this from the girl who was so ready to escape Halloween? I'm in shock! I think I feel about parades the way you feel about trick-or-treating. Ha ha.
Go early and start around 95th or 90th St. The parade doesn't officially start till 81 st, but all the floats line up above 81 st. and there are no crowds. They won't be singing and dancing yet, but you can see everything close up!ReplyDelete
oh my! i never thought of that. you're totally right. i might have rethink my big plans!ReplyDelete
i'm with emily. they line up early in the 90's and CPW with no crowd.ReplyDelete
i never heard that! that's so smart! thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
ps maybe all those books are to convince/motivate ME. hahaReplyDelete
hahaaa thanks for the shout out. Of cooooarse I have pictures. I'll e-mail them to you. Speaking of mom, I wished I could've seen her that day watching us on TV. She must have gone bananas! She always seemed genuinely excited about everything we did. Even the small stuff. Dad always made me feel like what I said was important, even if it was trivial. (He still does.) They really did a great job with us.ReplyDelete
I never heard about it either, but I used to live on 90th St. on the west side my first year in the city. I wanted to go to the parade, so I walked east until I got to CPW and 90th with the intention of walking down to 81. Then I discovered this "secret" tip. It was quite exciting!ReplyDelete
oh wow!! these are great!! thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out. love the tip about the no liquids. never thought of that. yikes! maybe i should have all my kids wear diapers. gross, but necessary. hahaReplyDelete
oh my gosh! i still remember. she (of course) was crying happy tears! and screaming! haha i remember the cameramen loved you! do we still have that recorded somewhere. as she watched it live, she kept saying, "there she is! ahhhh!! there she is again!!"ReplyDelete
I haven't gone the parade since I was a kid! My favorite part of the parade is the end when Santa comes. Now that I have kids of my own I make a big deal out of it! We go to see the Santa at Hardod Sqaura every year since that's what I did as a child. It's a classic NYC experience!ReplyDelete
Harold sq. ** lolReplyDelete
I usually don't comment, but this is right up my alley. My family lived in NY when I was around age 8 and we went to the parade two years in a row, later we moved to Northern New Jersey and would make the trek in every year. Bullet pointed list:
-Think of the earliest possible time you could get everyone up, then get up earlier. When we lived in the city we were on the Upper East Side and would walk through the park (you can't do that anymore, that side of the street is blocked) which took quite a while with two kids under 10. Time it out with Google, then add some time because Google thinks everyone walks at the speed of light.
-Breakfast is crackers or toast, something dry and no liquids. I imagine I don't have to tell you how you really don't want to have to find a bathroom while you're there.
-Get disposable cameras for your kids! One year when I was really young we had them and they were the coolest things ever; entertained my sister and I while we waited for the balloons. The other year we didn't have them and I was so bored I begged my dad to take me to go climb on rocks in Central Park.
-Know what's coming. Either print out or tear from the newspaper a list of the floats and balloons that will pass by. Spot the next float can be a fun game.
-Tape the TV version. Because the Rockettes don't walk the parade, and you probably wont make it home in time for the dog show.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I accredit that in part because of the Macy's Parade. We even would have extended family come to town just to go the parade. Even if it doesn't work out for this year, don't give up! The year we didn't go while we were living in New Jersey I literally sat in front of the TV and cried to show my parents how upset I was that we didn't go.
Go the night before! We would take our boys the night before the parade to see all the balloons being blown up. They do it right next to the natural history museum. It's really fun for them to see and not as crowded as the parade itself.ReplyDelete
i LOVE the thanksgiving day parade and usually have to hide form others in order to watch it. I can't imagine actually seeing it in person. If your family ditches you I will join you. I wish!ReplyDelete
Found your blog indirectly through CJANE. I am a nyc mom and blogger too...we have been to the parade 8 years in a row. We send the men around 6:30 with blankets, camping chairs, hot cocoa and cinnamon rolls. They stake out a front row spot and wait. We leave around 7:30 and meet up with them around 8 and wait another hour. I cannot disclose where we sit, because then other people might take it!!! But here are a few tips:
It's hard to cross the street by the time the girls arrive, so make sure the men are on the side where the rest will join, for us, the EAST side of the route works best because we come from the EAST.
Situate yourself next to a lampost....have it be north of you, because then the crowd can't push back on you.
Do not make your blankets/camping chairs more condensed until the last possible second....otherwise you will be SO TIGHT before it even starts.
Good luck.

i'll have to think about it
Mini 4W Discussion
PokeLyrics Archive
Initial D Forum
i'll have to think about it
mini 4wd I never understood why it existed.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
Mini 4W. Heck I don't even remember that being here before. Unless it always has been there, and my mind had just passively blocked it for being so random.
Save Water. Shower with your boyfriend.
Mini 4wd was just odd. And never kicked off.
Poke Lyrics, Only one I knew existed.
Eh, I'll just have to go with PokeLyrics.
Fallen Wings
Has to be mini 4W, because over its entire lifespan, I think it had somewhere around 20 posts.
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT
M4W was definitely the most ridiculous, although to be far i think the initial d forum was MORE ridiculous than the pokelyrics archive. either way, after 2 long years the tie's been broken.
No votes. People take the Initial D Forum VERY SERIOUSLY.

Student Safety/Bullying Reporting
Indiana's Student Safety Reporting law (IC 20-34-6-1) requires school corporations to report student bullying and arrest data for each school to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) by July 1 of each year.
Arrest Report Form
The Student Safety Reporting Form is a template that schools and school corporations can use to submit the student arrest data to the IDOE. The Student Safety Reporting Form Sample can be used if you have questions as to what data the IDOE need to collect or if you have any questions about the form. Schools and school corporations may also choose to use their own forms to submit the data. All forms should be submitted to IDOE at firstname.lastname@example.com. For purposes of this report, an arrest is when a child is physically taken into custody by law enforcement while at school, or as a result of an action taken at school.
Bullying Report Form
To submit your final bullying incident report form to the IDOE please use the following link. This link will take you to a JotForm survey where you can submit your number of bullying incidents by category.
We have created a Bullying incident report Form that can be used to track your bullying incidents over the course of the school year. Please report all incidents only after the investigating school official determines that "bullying" has actually occurred under the expanded 2013 definition at IC 20-33-8-0.2.
The bullying reporting form sample can be used if you have questions as to what data the IDOE need to collect or if you have any questions about the form. Please note, incidents that qualify as "Combination" incidents should only be reported once, rather than reporting in multiple fields.
If you have any questions, please contact David Woodward or Ryan Stewart.

Home → Maine High School Assessment
Maine High School Assessment
Maine assesses students in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics and science at least once in high school. Requiring the Maine High School Assessment (MHSA) of all students raises expectations and aspirations and increases readiness for college or other post-secondary opportunities. Such preparation is consistent with the expectations expressed in the Maine Learning Results and helps to ensure that Maine students are well prepared to succeed in our increasingly complex state, national and world economy.
In the spring of 2006, Maine began requiring all public third-year high school students to take SAT tests in critical reading, writing and mathematics and a separate science assessment to meet this requirement.
The MHSA science tests must be administered during a two-week window that begins Monday, March 24 and closes Friday, April 4, 2014.
The official MHSA SAT administration date for the 2013-14 school year is Saturday, May 3, 2014.
Refer to the 2013-2014 MeCAS Testing Dates document for more information about each state assessment.
In addition to the SAT and science test associated with the MHSA, the Department is pleased to offer again this year ReadiStep at grade nine and ACCUPLACER® or Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test at grade 11.

However, they only used photon torpedoes at warp, not phasers. According to the TNG technical manual the casing of the photon torpedo contains a warp-sustainment drive, not a true warp drive. A warp field is created by the firing ship, and the torpedo sustains that field for a short interval (like a capacitor holding a charge) long enought to hit the target.
TMP may mark the start of this trend. As I recall, when the Enterprise is caught in the Warp tunnel (don't remember the techno-babble term off-hand) near the start of the film, Kirk gives the order to fire the phasers but Decker insists on using the Torpedoes due to some heretofore unknown connection between the warp engines and the weapons.

It was an unstable wormhole the Enterprise was caught in.
They said that the ship's phasers were redesigned to get their power from the warp engines. Since the warp engines had to be shut down to destabilize the wormhole, the phasers wouldn't work on the asteroid. Instead, Decker ordered photons to be used. They did not get their power from the warp engines.

This still eludes me. I recently purchased the first printing (maybe 2nd) of the 1st edition in 1975 (vinyl cover and all) and there are no ships besides the Fed DN, CA, DD/SC, and Tug in it, just like my 20th anniversary edition, and none of them have anything but phasers and photons.
Optimus: Are you referring to the Star Fleet Techncial Manual, or the Star Fleet Battle Manual? The Tech Manual only had the DN/CA/DD-SC/Tug in it. The Battle Manual; however, included the Klingon / Romulan / and Tholian ships.

The Battle Manual is unknown to me. A while back someone was claiming that the table of contents was actually filled out at one point, but I don't ever think it was.
What is the Battle Manual? I'm guessing it's not by Franz Joseph.

"Balance of Terror" was not the only episode plasma torpedoes appeared in. There was another where the command staff all started aging prematurely and forgetting everything, leaving a Commodore who seemed to know nothing about starships or combat in charge (can't think how he got to that rank). Just as the Enterprise is being pasted by the Romulans, a cure is discovered, and Kirk re-appears on the bridge and saves the day by bluffing his way through the Romulan Warbirds.
There was also "The Enterprise Incident" where Kirk steals a cloaking device form the Romulans who were flying Kestral class ships, but I don't remember if that one involved any flying plasma.
Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie......

The Star Fleet Battle Manual was the game system published by Lou Zocchi. It pre-dates SFB by a year or two. It's an interesting game but wasn't anywhere near as well thought out as SFB, nor did it play as well (thus SFB's success and SFBM's obscurity).

I'm probably going to regret stating this, but I like to think SFB/FC as a different universe compared to Star Trek. Star Trek has a lot of inconsistancies from one episode to another that if you try to make sense of it, it still doesn't totally work out right. Here is a quote that someone made from another message board that I thought was funny yet quite true about Star Trek. I don't know who stated it, but thought it was a good statement nontheless...
"Why Star Trek is Fiction...
I just love reading all of the ranting rationalizations to cover up
the fact that the guy(s) who wrote this weeks episode have no idea
where the "guns" were in last weeks episode. ...and from your other
post, what's wrong with a 300+ meter bird o' prey hovering over that
whaler or the 50 (or so) meter bird o' prey that they climbed out of
sinking in SF bay. They're both canon, right?"
Anyway. SFB and FC have quite a bit of differences (and history) compared to Star Trek and maybe that is a good thing. As for Drones and Plasma flying at warp speeds, I know in SFB, ships, Fighters and Drones were flying at Tactical Warp speeds, but I thought I read somewhere in Federation Commander (under the old SFU Legacy website) that SVC kinda hinted at the ships/weapons in FC combating at Sublight speeds (which actually makes a little more since to me personally). I guess it doesn't really matter though, a 10,000 KM hex is a 10,000 KM hex and and long as you enjoy playing Federation Commander, it doesn't really matter that much.

You have to expect a certain amount of comparisons between the two. There are a lot of people who got the game only because there were some ships that looked awfully familiar (although I don't believe that the famous Fed CA itself is on any of the FedCom covers). People who aren't familiar with the SFU look at the Fed BC on the cover of Klingon Border and instantly think, "Star Trek game!" The two ships are obviously Federation and Klingon vessels, and there's no point in pretending that people don't instantly make the connection.
So a certain amount of discussion on these topics is reasonable. People will be curious as to why certain things were introduced. Missiles never appeared in TOS (or later series), and iirc Klingons never used phasers (only disruptors). So people are going to ask questions, and it's good to know how and why these systems appear where they do in the game.

Absolutely. It's a good way to bring new people in and besides, it's fun to talk about.
"Missiles never appeared in TOS (or later series)..."
Actually there were missiles, even in TOS (but not from Klingons). The asteroid ship Yonada fired a spread of nuclear-tipped missles at the Enterprise on their first approach. I think there may have been another case in TOS, but I could also be wrong.
We're sounding less and less like a 'Rules Question' in this thread. Should we move it to 'General Discussions'?

If it makes you feel better, the Ferengi used a drone in TNG. Forget the title but it had to do with a wormhole they thought was permanent, but turned out to have the same entrance, but different exits.
Also in the first movie, Uhura reports she's ready to launch a communications drone with all records of their encounter so far and Decker tells her to delay as long as possible as the drone won't escape the tractor beam.

It was an unstable wormhole the Enterprise was caught in.
They said that the ship's phasers were redesigned to get their power from the warp engines. Since the warp engines had to be shut down to destabilize the wormhole, the phasers wouldn't work on the asteroid. Instead, Decker ordered photons to be used. They did not get their power from the warp engines.
The thing has always been with Trek writers that they make it up as they go along. Although various writing aids were issued to help writers stick with the 'rules' of the Trek universe, still those rules get broken. A couple of examples.
TNG 'Relics' - they use transporters through shields
TOS - the episode where Sulu and his landing party are stranded on a freezing planet and they can't use the transporters. Shuttles, anyone?
Photons DO get their power from Warp engines [and not just in SFB] - Kirk at one point asks for full overloads but Sulu objects 'but sir, that will use all the power from our warp engines...'
In short, it's fine for them to break the rules as long as it makes for an interesting storyline....
Then they end up having to explain away all the inconsistencies. That's what I love so much about the SFU - there are few inconsistencies because the Steves and the fans have together worked hard to keep it that way.

It might be a little illogical, but couldn't you just keep the Drones and convert them to a direct fire weapon (The issue was moving pieces, not Star Trek canon right?) I do think that the damage should be consistant at any range it is fired (But I'm not sure it should be 12?) I'd just recommend leaving the damage at 12 at all ranges but have the accuracy reduced by 1 from the Photon (Example: If a Photons accuracy is 1-3 at range 8, the Drone's accuracy at range 8 would be 1-2) They couldn't be overloaded and would be energy free, but could run out of ammunition at one point. If they're still too powerful even with the inaccuracy, you could allow defensive fire to destroy them before impact.
Another option would be to merely convert the Drone Racks to your primary heavy weapon (Such as Photons) or Phasers. The only issue is see is energy. Maybe just let it shoot for free (Very illogical I know) but use an ammuniton box or (A little more logical) increase starting energy (But you'd have to do it for non-drone races too) or just leave energy as is.

Big E, If you want to look at removing Drones in your own games nothing is really stopping you. As a matter of fact a fairly simple and straight up conversion is available for Klingon's and Feddies.
On Fed Ships just convert Drones to Probe Lauchers and let it go. It also makes a sort of logical sense for the Feds to carry more reasearch equipment.
As far as Klingons go, convert them back to Shuttle Boxes since historically all Klinks did for the most part was slap a Drone Rack in half of their Shuttle bays in the First Place. This will now give a D7 the same number of Shuttles that a Fed CA has.
Orions that rule is already covered so there is no point in going into it again.
The ones that will come up with the short end of the stick will be the Kzinti. There really is not a quck and dirty conversion for them but if you were to replace them with weapons I would limit them to Phaser 2 and then get creative on the firing arcs because simply making them 360 Degrees may be to good of a deal.

The girls of Girls have been in the spotlight for months appearing in every magazine there is, but now it's the boys turn, as American fashion photog Terry Richardson has shot Adam Driver, Christopher Abbott, Alex Karpovsky, and Andrew Rannells for a feature in GQ. Rather impressive seeing as Terry is the man behind all the hottest campaigns, including Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and ALDO.
You don't need to wait to get a glimpse of the shoot as Terry has posted behind the scenes pictures of the shoot on his diary website. The guys are in white vests, denim jackets and geek glasses with obligitary facial hair. But we're not sure what to make of Andrew Rannells's (aka Elijah's) rather creepy moustache.
We reckon it'll be a fun shoot as they all seem to be best of pals with Terry - we particularly love the shot where Adam Driver gives Terry Richardson a piggy back. They all seem to love giving thumbs up to the camera in a fabulously awkward way.
See we told ya... AWKWARD. Can you spot the creepy uncle? The unbottoned shirt and moustache aint a good look Andrew Rannells.
Take a look at Terry's outtakes in the gallery above....

Friday, 25 November 2011 00:00During this season of hope and thanksgiving, the American Red Cross on Long Island reflects on the generosity of those who helped us bring comfort and assistance to our neighbors in need this year.
We owe a huge measure of gratitude to our partners and donors who have shown a deep commitment to the mission of the American Red Cross. We owe an equal measure of thanks to our thousands of dedicated volunteers. Their tireless work makes it possible for us to respond to disasters throughout our area.
This past year was marked by our responses to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, which wrecked havoc throughout our area, displacing tens of thousands of residents. Additionally, the Red Cross responded to hundreds of local home fires, floods and storms, including the recent October snowstorm, which left record numbers of people isolated and without power to our north.
In every instance, the Red Cross was there with comfort and caring: meals, blankets, safe shelter and emotional support to help those affected get back on their feet.
We also sent dozens of Long Island relief workers to spring floods and tornadoes across eight states and supported relief efforts for the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
We don't know what 2012 will bring, but what is certain is that we will continue to provide compassionate assistance wherever and whenever it is needed, throughout the year.
Thank you again to all those who continue to make our humanitarian work possible.
We wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
John Miller
CEO, American Red Cross on Long Island

text: One of the most incredible African collections we've ever heard – almost more amazing than the African Scream Contest set from the same label! The package focuses on work by Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou – a group who really live up to their name, by bringing in a host of complicated rhythms to their music – including the "sato" groove, which is kind of a modern funky take on older voodoo modes! Production is often echoey – in ways that dub out the bass and drums nicely – and make the guitar parts sound nice and sinister – the vocals too, for that matter, even though we can't ever understand the lyrics. The music was originally recorded for a variety of different labels, but is brought together here beautifully – and the great vinyl version has loads of notes inside the gatefold and on the inner sleeves that not only tells the tale of the group, but also that of all the labels – then follows the whole thing up with a discography as well – a real labor of love that's as much of a visual treat as it is a sonic delight. Titles include "Se We Non Nan", "Ako Ba Ho", "Mi Ni Non Kpo", "Assibavi", "Mi Homlan Dadale", "Iya Me Dji Ki Bi Ni", "Mawa Mon Nou Mio", and "Koutoulie". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

This F10 M5 on-track video from the Circuit Magny-Cours in France is one of the best track videos we've seen, effectively conveying the sounds and sensations of tracking the 2013 M5.

Sleek and supercharged with dual pickups, a slim neck and a curvaceous offset waist, the Jazz Bass has ruled the world of electric bass ever since Fender introduced it at the dawn of the 1960s. Its versatile and unmistakable tone, effortless feel and racecar performance make it the number-one instrument of choice for bassists of all stripes and styles worldwide.
Fender welcomed a new decade by introducing a deluxe bass guitar model called the Jazz Bass in 1960. With dual pickups, it complemented the seismic boom of the Precision Bass with singing high end a deeply satisfying guttural snarl. Its sleekly offset body and slim, fast neck made the Jazz Bass a veritable racecar of an instrument, and it has ruled the electric bass world ever since.
The Jazz Bass features a sleek and comfortable offset-waist body.
The Jazz Bass's slender neck is a hallmark of the model, enabling an even surer grip and ideal for playing with even greater speed and finesse.
The Jazz Bass is long prized for the distinctive voice created by its dual pickups—a punchy, guttural growl with singing high end.

This is similar to another request (https://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/7162/). However, I would like support for repeat "after [number] hours".

Last night POYi award-winning photojournalist David Butow was our guest lecturer at the Space, speaking on the subject he has covered for much of this decade - China.
China's economy and culture have been rapidly changing over the last 10 years and David has been there to document those transformations every step of the way. During that time, he's made at least one annual trip to the Middle Kingdom.
David presented three photo essays for his IRIS Nights lecture. First, was the deadly Sichuan earthquake that struck the region in 2008.
Second, was his documentation of the Uighur people, an ethnic minority who live mainly in the Northwestern part of the country and who are largely of the Muslim faith. A Uighur uprising in 2009 threw the region into turmoil.
And lastly was David's look at China's trendy twenty-something culture. He explained that while the largely 'only-child' youth face desires, expectations and obstacles that are unique to their country, they are still essentially just like every other young person in the world.
At one point David asked the audience how many of them had recently visited China and was surprised to see how many hands shot up.
David took questions at the end of each of the three sections so the audience could discover more about each individual body of work. This was the first time IRIS Nights deviated from its format of a sole Q&A session.
Through David, we got a special window through to the many different faces that populate a country with a population of 1.3 billion people and growing.
We can't wait to see more photos from David documenting his future travels to China and elsewhere around the globe! Travel safe!
You could learn more about David's work on his official Website.

What little kids get when you give them anything with high amounts of sugar. IE candy, soda, ice cream.
When I was babysitting, the kid got a sudden surge of energy, and I will never feed that kid ice cream again.

Healthy Eating Research Releases 2012 Call for Proposals
Healthy Eating Research is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The program supports research on environmental and policy strategies with strong potential to promote healthy eating among children to prevent childhood obesity, especially among lower-income and racial and ethnic populations at highest risk for obesity. Findings are expected to advance RWJF's efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.
This call for proposals (CFP) is for two types of awards aimed at providing key decision- and policy-makers with evidence to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015. The award types are: Round 7 grants and RWJF New Connections grants awarded through the Healthy Eating Research program.
Approximately $1.9 million will be awarded under this CFP for the two award types.

But, the thing I seriously dislike the most are the a**holes who post the sexist comments...that gets me, I gotta say, pretty angry. Although, eh..now I just try my best not to get too caught up with that kind of crap on here at times. =/ It's better if I simply ignore them. :D

Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Farmers are rallying from their tractors to repeal a law designed to reduce the growth of septic systems in Maryland.
Farmers drove tractors around Annapolis on Tuesday to make their point.
Joe Kuhn, of Woodbine, gave interviews to reporters while riding on his tractor near the Maryland State House. Like many other farmers he believes that the law infringes on his property rights, including his ability to sell his property to potential developers.
Tom Zolper, a spokesman for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, says the law was approved last year to reduce pollution and limit taxpayer expense of sprawl.
A measure before a legislative committee would repeal the law passed last year.
The law creates a four-tiered system limiting where residential subdivisions on septic systems can be built.

Oh! The irony of it all! The latest celebrity fashion phenomenon is in fact this star emblazoned red holey-knit sweater from Wildfox. It's called 'Seeing Star's and the star pupils we've seen wearing it is are as follows: Miley Cyrus (fast becoming a new and unexpected style crush for us), Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Tisdale, Ellie Goulding, Jessica Simpson. Emma Watson has also been spotted in a black and white version and Sarah Michelle Gellar in khaki green. Keep up!
This particular jolly jumper is from a new spring/summer edit dedicated to those all American stars and stripes, but it's no wonder this nonchalantly cool piece has been so picked up on with the L.A. set – Wildfox, after all, was set up in the city by childhood friends Emily Faulstitch and Kimberley Gordon. They've long had a celebrity following for their cheeky slogan tees, festival-essential fringed tops and jewellery, but we don't think there's been one other item that's quite so catapulted to such pap-popularity. Should you want to join the gang, it's £203 and you can buy it at www.wildfoxcouture.co.uk.
But this isn't the only bright star shining in the fashion galaxy right now. As well as Current/Elliott's latest starred version of the Stiletto skinny – as seen on Rachel Bilson and Jessica Alba - we've also spotted Rihanna in an Adidas CS monochrome starry bomber jacket, Elizabeth Olsen with a star-print bandana (on the set of her new flick 'Very Good Girls') and our Fearne Cotton in a starry blouse.

Sunny King and Sandy Springs Heartrate Data
May 4, 2009 at 8:01 pm 1 comment
I've included my heart rate data from this weekend's Sunny King Criterium (May 2) and the Sandy Springs Cycling Challenge (May 3).
- Crazy fast first few laps, mid-pack
- Attacking hard to close gap opened by another rider and then move up to near the front through the Start/Finish area
- Steadiest part of the race with fast tempo set by Kelly Benefits as they worked to bring back the break. I stayed positioned towards the front of the field
- Lots of variation here because of surges in the group, reshuffling at the front, and having to attack to regain position
- The insanely fast final two laps
- Low initial heart-rate … not surprising for me after the previous night's hard race.
- Steadily rising heart-rate as I work harder each lap to move farther up in the pack.
- Settling in nicely near the front (top 15-20 of the pack)
- Attacking through the Start/Finish area to move up to the front of the pack
- Attacking to attempt to bridge to Frank Travieso.
- Fighting hard for position as the pace gets fast for the final laps with a surprisingly high max heart rate for a "Day 2″ race

November 2008
Over the past 18 months, Secretary Spellings has convened a series of three roundtable discussions with representatives from across the education and technology landscape, from teachers to CEOs, and a fourth roundtable with students. The conversations were frank and informative and provided a view into the potential, and the challenges of harnessing technology to help transform education.
This paper is based on feedback from the roundtables. It identifies five areas where federal, state, and local governments can collaborate to build on the success of NCLB and accelerate the transformation of our education system.
