My three children attended Townline (the dual language program), My oldest was in the pilot program and while there were some deficiencies when she got to high school, she caught up quickly. She finished the Spanish and French curricula in HS, learning languages like a sponge, probably due to the excellent experience she had at Townline. By the time my second child finished the DL program, the deficiencies that my daughter had experienced were fixed. My youngest is still at Townline and all three of them have excellent accents. My daughter was able to communicate effectively with a family in Latin America who spoke no English. It was amazing how fluent she was, she sounded like a native. We are grateful to have the chance for our children to learn a second language at such a young age, the teachers have all been amazing.
My son attends Dual Language (which is a separate school than Townline- but I want to respond to the below review.) It is an incredible program with dedicated teachers who go above and beyond. They provide opportunities for the kids to work at their level throughout the school day. As far as the homework issue, it sounds to me like the teachers are just complying with district policy of purposeful homework- not busy work. As for the movies, a quick reading of the newsletter will tell you how they support the curriculum. I feel privileged to be a part of this program! The teachers and staff are amazing!
My son was in the Dual Language program in Kindergarten. Both my husband (spanish speaker) and I were very displeased. Homework was given once a week. Mistakes in the Spanish assignments.Closer to the end of the year there were almost no Spanish assignments, when I asked for extra Spanigh assignments for my son to practice the teacher just said, and I quote "We send home worksheets for homework that apply to what we are teaching, so when appropriate, we will continue to send home the worksheets that review the syllables." Mind you, my son reads fluently so: syllables? Thanks for nothing. When they did tracing numbers, I asked for something more challenging (my son can add and subtract 2-digit numbers), even offered to provide math worksheets. No. We felt that the teacher just did not care. I am a teacher myself, so I understand it's hard, but if someone is asking for extra work, it's not that hard to find a worksheet. They also watched two movies: Wall-e and Finding Nemo - about 3 hours total. Nothing else to do? I also thought this way of learning a language (just by listening to other people speak) is not for everyone. The principal of the Dual Language does not care much either
This is an excellent school. My son is currently in the dual language program and we are very happy with what he is learning. Very involved parents and a great principal!!
We transferred into this school district and selected Townline for the teachers and friendly staff. Diversity and global cultural awareness are themes that the kids are exposed to. The curriculum offers Spanish both as an elective or dual language. The facilities are top notch and they continue to invest. The parents are involved and take great care to make their concerns heard.
Townline is an excellent school. My child has been in this school for 4 years now, and I feel as though each year gets better and better. The teachers in this building are exceptionally supportive, innovative, and academically challenging. I am so glad my child attends this school. I highly recommend it!
Have two children at this school, next year our third will attend. We chose this school for the dual language program. Not only has that been a terrific experience, but all of the teachers that my children have had have been terrific. I volunteer in classrooms once and week and I am always thrilled with the variety, challenge and creativity used. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else!
My daughter has been attending this school opened two years ago and it has been a supper experience for her as well as for us
I am a parent of a student who was in one of the first batches to enter Townline in 2005. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the teaching staff and the educational standards that have been set for the students. I also appreciate the flexible grouping model that has been implemented to ensure that kids are learning according to their capabilities. The principals are very involved in the activities of the kids. The teachers are creative and provide a wonderful learning enviroment. My second child will be starting 1st grade this Fall and I am confident that he too will progress as well as my daughter.
I was the school social worker for two years. I found the teaching staff to be dedicated to their school, commited to the children and uniquely talented in their respective areas. They worked well as a team and were supportive of children's individual needs. My experience was that familys were pleased overall with their children's quality of education, the availability of staff, and the nurturing environment of Aspen school.

Adobe Target FreshAIRapps Officially Moves to a New Home
Only two weeks have passed since we first reported on Adobe Inc's undertaking to remove the FreshAIRapps domain and nameplate from the Web. In short, FreshAIRapps was a compendium or directory of applications built upon the Adobe AIR platform. Users could rate codeworks and read relevant news and so forth in one central location. It would be accurate to have called it a fairly popular upstart. Yes, called is the key word to keep in mind now.

Hi to everybody, dear friends! :)
I'm Filippo, I'm italian (from Bologna), so I apologize for my bad english XD It's a long time since follow Instructables, but I've never made one of my own. This is my first one!
I love Borderlands and Nerf Guns, so... the result is simple! I made a replica out of a Nerf Strongarm, one of the most common and cheap guns of the N-Strike Elite series. It's a beautiful toy, like all of the other Nerf Gun. But obviously, it looks like a toy (and for a good reason!). Our aim is to turn this little guy in a Borderlands weapon, and this time I took my inspiration from Hyperion guns: yellow is the main color, and there are always some white stripes on the chassis. The name of our creation will be HYPERION STRONGARM! :D Not very clever... but effective. So, let's start with a shopping list!
Remember that I'm writing down italian prices for everything. I know for sure that in America Nerf Guns are cheaper. Sigh.
You'll need:
- Nerf Strongarm (17€ on amazon Italy)
- Sand paper grit 80 + grit 240 (5€ total)
- Masking tape (in Italy we call it "nastro carta": paper tape), several sizes (3€)
- Spray paint: white, yellow, black (15€ tot)
H20 Spray paint is always good, but I have used a more generic paint for hobbies and decoration. Luxen is a very good quality and cheap brand here in Italy. Avoid spray paint that make an extremely thick layer or are to glossy. Matte paint are the best for this kind of plastics.
- Primer spray for plastic (4€)
- Good quality acrilic paint, chrome-silver effect (9€)
- Little brush, good quality (2-3€)
- X acto Knife, or a similar pen cutter (5€)
Tot: circa 50€
You will also need:
- a philips screwdriver
- mask for painting if you are making the project inside
- paper, water
ATTENTION: as always, if you are using spray paint (even H2O based) the best choice is to work outside, in a well ventilated area. We don't want to paint our lungs! :) Pay attention to the cutter too.
NOTE: A lot of this material (almost everything except for the gun) will not be used entirely for the project. In fact, the "real" usage of the paint and other things will cost you 30€ circa, Nerf included. :)
Great work my friend! This will go nicely with my Handsome Jack cosplay!
Thanks for sharing the step-by-step proces!
Great to know! :D Please post some pics of your finished cosplay, I'm curious! :D
Love This!!! Had to make my own. Very good Instructable!
This is epic!!!! Well done my friend, it's a marvellous gun now! :D
Thank you for your appreciation! :D
Thank you Johnathan, you are very kind! :D I have one or two project ready to post similar to this one, but first I want to wait for a proper contest to begin! :D
I hope this guide will help you with your projects, my dear friend! ;)
Do you think this will work with the Nerf Maverick REV-6? It's basically the same thing.
Pensi che questo funzionerà con il Nerf Maverick REV-6? E 'fondamentalmente la stessa cosa.
I DO think so my friend! :) They are basically the same gun. I don't own a Maverick, but I think you'll only have to disassemble the internal parts in a different way (if internal parts are somehow different!).
But you can use this instructions for every gun in your armory! The painting process is the same.
When Instructables will make a proper contest, I will also publish a Barricade mod guide, where I'll also show the complete disassembling of an electric Nerf ;) (MUCH MORE difficult than this one!)
My third mod will be a Centurion one, where I'll hope to add some leds, too!
If I can help you with everything, you only have to ask my friend! :)
Hey, is there a way to do this without disassembling? I would disassemble it, but I can't since several of the screws are stripped, and I don't have a drill nor can I get my hands on one. It really doesn't matter that much if it doesn't look as good. Thanks! :)
Hi dear friend! :)
Yeah, if you don't want to disassemble the gun, you can always paint it as it is, but some parts like the trigger won't be really good, 'cause you can't paint internal parts... :/
What about stripped screws you were talking about? It's strange, Strongarm is not supposed to have stripped screws... I've disassembled mine without using any drill at all... Maybe you are talking about a different gun?
Forse sarebbe meglio mettere un breve video per la parte del Dry-Brush, comunque davvero bella figata!
Grazie mille Gabry! :D
In effetti il dry-brush è una di quelle cose più facili a dirsi che a farsi. Fidati che appena lo provi il risultato ti si palesa "magicamente" tra le mani!
Vedrai anche nella seconda pistola che posterò, ci sono ancor più foto :)
Bene! Sono stracurioso! :D
Aspetto che ci sia un contest Nerf o simile! :)
Looks good. Nice ible
Thank you! :)
I have another one about Nerf Mods almost ready... ;)
That's a good one.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it :D
Thank you dear friend! :)
Another one is coming soon :)
is a good one but not fires to far check out mine at
http://www.instructables.com/id/pen-gun-15/ fires ink cartrages up to 80 feats
Really good idea, my congratulations! :D
I love the design of guns like this. (I have been shooting real guns since I was 3 or so.) But with no barrel they are impractical as all get out. I have given some thought though to making one that fires a steel, aluminum, or tungsten dart in a plastic sabot (casing) so that the fins on the dart could stabilize the round. It will be much fun once I find the time to work on it. Borderlands makes some of the most original gun designs I have seen, it is one of the main reasons I play it.
Great xarlock! Please, if you realize something like that, do not hesitate to post some photos here, it would be great.
I hope you'll follow me, I have some great project for future guns, indeed! :)
Have a wonderful day my friend.
Very nice, Darthoso! I am contimplating doing the same thing as my children have so many of the Nerf guns laying around, but I'm not sure if they would mind having them painted up or not. I would love to try to make a Maliwan gun with some green, purple or orange LEDs...Well done!
Thank you very much bgibson72! :D
I'm sure your children would LOVE to have some special and unique weapons! Ask him! :) Maliwan weapons are beautiful, I also love the western look of Jakobs.
LEDs are one of the possibilities that I'm considering for future project. Stay tuned my friend! :D
I'll be looking forward to seeing those. I wouldn't mind doing one of each set. I also love the Torgue checkered pattern and Tediore's use of phosphorescent carbon fibre. So many possibilities with Borderlands...love that game!!
Oh yeah, that would be awesome! Please post some images when you'll realize a nerf mod, I'm very very curious about it! :)
And yes, Borderlands it's one of my favorite games ever and it gives you a lot of wonderful ideas! :)
Create, my dear friend! :D
Thank you dear friend! :D
I think the Barricade will be a little more difficult, because it has some electric parts (it's semi-automatic) and a more complex chassis! :D
I hope to start the Barricade this weekend ;)
Yeah, electric blasters are usually more difficult. I prefer modding larger guns, like the Centurion and Alpha Trooper. If you ever want to collaborate on a Nerf project, feel free to ask me. It's rare to find a person who posts extensive mods like this one.
Yeah, in fact I want to mod a Centurion after the Barricade. It's a beautiful rifle. I bought the Barricade because there was a huge discount on Amazon Italy and I paid it less than the Strongarm ^^ Since my mods are only aesthetic (for now), I think the problem will be only the disassembling!
It would be awesome to collaborate on a Nerf project! Maybe the distance is not our friend (I'm from Italy, you?), but we'll find a way! :D
Yeah man I'm from the US, but yeah there's plenty of ways to collaborate! Congratulations on being featured! Twice! ;) It's pretty difficult to get a Nerf mod featured here.
Thank you man! Yes it's great, we can find a way to collaborate! :D
Thank you again, I've made a good start, two out of two! :D
No problem!
Very well done! It turned out great. I can't wait to see your next paint job.
Thank you BrittLiv, it's an honour! :D
Your triple barrel Strongarm is one of my favorite project ever!

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - A newlywed bride accused of deliberately pushing her husband to his death in Montana's Glacier National Park has agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder.
News of the plea agreement for 22-year-old Jordan Graham came as a jury was set to hear closing arguments in her murder trial.
A judge is still deciding whether to accept the deal.
Under the plea agreement, prosecutors would drop charges of first-degree murder and making a false statement. Graham would face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
No sentencing date has been scheduled.
Prosecutors had alleged Graham was having second thoughts about her 8-day-old marriage to 25-year-old Cody Johnson when she lured him to a steep cliff in the park on July 7 and intentionally pushed him.

I just purchased an AGV Grid Helmet. Its not Snell rated. Its a DOT and ECE-2205(Euro rated) certified helmet. Can anyone let me know if I can use this helmet in WKA? CES will let me use it. Its a new helmet.

James your wrong. Jet Tech is John. MaxJet has been out of business and causing these same questions for a couple years now. People sell Maxjet units on ebay and people have no way of turning them on without locking the code. They are nothing but a paper weight now
I would contact these guys and see if they can help you. It looks like they are still trying to sell them. Not sure how without locking code. If you find out please let me know. I have one sitting in the tool box as i wont try and scam a fellow racer into paper weight….April 12, 2014 at 6:21 am #25492
Thats great info Robert.
But every series may have there own take on the rules. Club racing 99% of the time wont require you to have all the updates.
Plus most club series will say they follow Rotax rules. But the true fact is at club level they want entries and wont be anal cause you have an older cylinder and other non updated parts.
Tony has it right check with your local track your racing at and see what they say.April 3, 2014 at 5:28 pm #25011
2009 new style clutch came out. 2009 and newer Rotax engines will have all the upgrades.April 2, 2014 at 7:39 am #24911
The person shipping its his fault in my opinion. I order lots of parts and sell lots of parts. About 50% of the time I recieve packages. I see a person that spent 30 seconds to pack and another minute to secure with tape. The box is barely in one piece cause of shipper not taking an extra 5 minutes to tape the box up.
In the case of front brake parts, heavy with sharp edges to break open easily. You tape the shit out of the box so it doesnt open, very simple. Problem is people are do damn lazy to do the right thing!!!
Its not the post office fault the idiot doesnt package it well for shipping!March 31, 2014 at 6:03 pm #24818
I have everything you need from a 2008 Italkart Supersonik V. Not sure if this would work for you. They are not floating disc like you want.

Is your 2013 spec radiator used?March 14, 2014 at 6:00 am #23801
Actual cost from Comet Kart Shop for conversion kit is $529. You would have to ask your local Rotax service center for a price to install. Here is link to kit from Comet.

If you have an old Rotax engine with zero upgrades. Its not worth it to upgrade in my opinion.
Old black coil change to new style green coil. $450.00
Clutch conversion kit with balance gears ect. $500
2009 or newer cylinder $600-700
New style air box around $150-175
With a new cylinder comes the need/cost of a new piston kit $150. Plus the cost of dealer/service center for labor. Clutch being a newbie done by service center. Coil and airbox you could change out.
Rebuilds are based on hours of use on engine. Rotax Top end about every 20-25 hours and bottom rebuild 40-50 hours of use.March 10, 2014 at 10:30 am #23554
Im getting a chassis shipped from Orlando Kart Center to Northern Illinois for $230. Im using Tag Shipping Solutions. It helps to go business to business. Also helps to have a chassis factory box.

IMO if this race was to ever happen. It needs to be in the months of Nov-March. It steps on to many other series that are going on in the month of July or summer months in general. Attendance still is low in most series. If they loose 25 guys/ 50 entries to a bigger race. That would sink a lot of road race series that are hanging on by a thread right now.
As much of a good thing it could be. Its effect on your local series could be in total jeopardy.
An example of this is CES Grattan was scheduled the same day as this race I believe. We loose 50 entries. We wont have road racing in the midwest!February 2, 2014 at 5:10 pm #20835
Ill take piston 53.98 and a few other parts. Sent an email.
JeffFebruary 1, 2014 at 4:32 pm #20798
A New 2010 motor would never come with old air box/clutch/coil. Sounds like you have an older engine that was updated with a 2010 cylinder after a complete rebuild with 15 hours of use. Just my honest opinion. A Rotax dealer or kart shop would never sell an engine like that.January 28, 2014 at 5:45 am #20446
Sounds like you should of asked a bunch of these questions before you purchased this engine. IMO your cylinder will not be a 2009 or newer based on all the other changes needed.
If your club racing chances are you wont need to make all these changes for club racing. If you plan on doing more than club racing you will need the updates. Check your local track rules on Rotax.
By the time you do all this to this engine it will be close to 2K with parts and labor.
A cylinder is close to $700, clutch kit $500, airbox around $70, new piston for new cylinder $150, plus all the gaskets, bearings and other parts needed to complete with seal and labor.
I would sell engine and get a newer engine. What ever you decide to do, Rotax is still a better investment than the other Tag engines.January 19, 2014 at 1:26 pm #19854
I would call these guys. Owned by karting people.January 19, 2014 at 1:20 pm #19853
To go from Tag Sprint to Road race isnt much to do. Gearing change like Ray said for most Tag engines and tracks this will be a 16T driver and sometimes a 15T. Lay back your seat so your not sitting so upright. Front brakes are always good to have.
What Tag engine you run? If you run a Leopard you may want to get a road race clutch.
What series do you plan to run with?January 17, 2014 at 3:36 pm #19767
Steve I believe you have to be 4′ 10″ to race in the adult karts 4′ for the kid size karts. This will be in the big karts.January 16, 2014 at 8:56 am #19713
Steve these are rental karts.
Not sure what your asking.January 13, 2014 at 5:41 pm #19542
Thanks for setting this up, Im in.December 26, 2013 at 2:26 pm #18435
Depends who you ask. 10 people 10 answers….
For club level racer 20-25 hours piston and 40-50 hours on full rebuild. Some guys even at club level go 10 piston and 20 full rebuild.November 30, 2013 at 1:49 pm #16807
Matt I think your right. From what I heard IAME wants to discontinue Leopard. The only thing stopping it would be US market. Im sure there are enough Leopard engines and parts at shops in stock to keep it going for a few years. At what point do they stop running Leopard. Most likely when dealers have run out of parts.
At some point National level they will change to x-30. Club tracks will allow Leopards for many years to come I would think.
Just like the Sonik and other Tag engines, it will be a boat anchor.
Dennis I road race CES series and dont believe Ive seen an X-30 on track. Maybe WKA racers have raced them. I would think they would do good on a road track. Us CES guys love our Rotax engines!!!November 25, 2013 at 5:41 pm #16552
I heard Wilson and McHattie Dq'd for timing ignition issue. Wow!November 25, 2013 at 9:06 am #16519
Why was Wilson and McHattie DQ in Tag Masters?

Cash Rent Needs a Relief Valve
Dan, an Iowa farmer, summarized the problem in a 16-word Twitter post last month: "$4 cash corn. Same as when I started in 2010, but cash rents are $100 higher." He could have added: Something's gotta give. DTN's national average cash price index--a collection of cash bid data from almost 3,000 locations across the U.S.--slid to $3.52 last Friday.

Don't drive in the yard driving a loaded up $50,000 pickup. Practice saying the word no - many times over. You may lose some ground, but if you're losing money, I guess I don't see why losing ground isn't the lesser of two evils. Get real good at telling your favorite seed guy no. There are many, many good choices out there. Figure out who wants to be Monte Hall. Also, show your land partner (a term I picked up on DTN) the money trail. Explain what a good sustainable fertilizer program costs. Explain what a good resistant weed avoiding chemical program costs. No land partner in their right mind wants their farm mined for nutrients or get resistant weeds started because their land partner (tenant) needed to skimp somewhere to make ends meet. Explain what your crop insurance costs, what it covers, and what it doesn't cover. Explain what the 2014 Farm Bill covers. Say the farm had $40/acre in Direct Payments under the old Farm Bill, and you're looking at less than that now; that should come off the rental value of the farm. Show what your take home pay is. Be prepared to be embarrassed or called out if it's too high. If you get to the end of a discussion like this and still can't see eye to eye, you're probably better off without that farm. - Jason Bode

An acquaintance once quipped: When everyone else is running-You Walk! When everyone else is walking-You Run! Now if you were running when you should have been walking, Pay the price of the shifting load when the brakes lock up.
Posted by Bonnie Dukowitz at 5:23AM CDT 07/22/14
Don't worry. The large mega-farmers will be floated by the ag lenders, equipment manufacturers, seed, chemical and fertilizer dealers. If one or two of these guys go bad in a community it will have a ripple effect throughout. Not what the input providers want happening. They may be upside down on paper but they will be out there farming your land. SO GET YOUR RENT, CASH UPFRONT!
Posted by Mike Estadt at 9:05AM CDT 07/22/14
Mike I don't think that will happen.We have some large farms close to us that are struggling and I have seen they have changed who they do business with this spring.New seed company, fertilizer and some equipment.So that kinda tells me they have run the gament with the others.But yes, you are right when they go out they're going to take others with them.Like elderly landlords that won't get paid.

Unlike any other farm bill, consultants and land grant educators have gone viral with online analysis this year, scheduling weekly webinars, offering pre-recorded podcasts to answer common questions (https://www.afpc.tamu.edu/podcasts/fpm/) and attempting to simplify the most sophisticated online tools ever to measure the probability of yield and price outcomes with YouTube presentations.

Teachers of the Year
Dr. Michael McWatters
McWatters, assistant professor in restorative sciences, has been a member of the HSC-BCD faculty since 2001. He teaches fixed prosthodontics to second- and third-year dental students. Additionally, he instructs first-year dental hygiene and Summer Predental Enrichment Program students.
"I like coming to work every day because of the friendliness and enthusiasm of the students, faculty and staff," says McWatters. "I think teaching at a professional level like Baylor is special because the students are so bright and motivated and really want to be here to learn."
A 1973 graduate of HSC-BCD, McWatters practiced general dentistry in Austin, Texas, for 28 years. While in Austin, he held every office in the Capitol Area Dental Society including president in 1989-90. He also has held positions on two state-level committees in the Texas Dental Association and has been a member of the American Dental Association and the Texas Dental Association for 36 years.
Since retiring from private practice, McWatters has taken annual dental mission trips to Central America with Christian Medical Missions, Inc. His trips involve traveling to remote villages to do extractions for indigenous people who otherwise would not have access to dental treatment.
Not ready for full retirement, in 2001 McWatters contacted longtime friend and HSC-BCD classmate Dr. Amp Miller, professor and director of curriculum in academic affairs, who offered him a position at the college.
"I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Amp Miller for giving me the opportunity to teach at Baylor, and I no longer even think about retirement," McWatters says.
Marylou Guttman
"In the past 27 years, I have had the privilege of impacting, of making a DIFFERENCE in, the education of over 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students," says Gutmann. "It has been an honor and a tremendous responsibility, but I wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything in the world."
A dedicated educator, Gutmann was named Teacher of the Year in 1987 by her students in Maryland and previously received the award at HSC-BCD in 2003. She received the Texas Dental Hygiene Directors' Association Teaching Excellence Award in 1995.
Gutmann received an associate degree in dental hygiene from Fones School of Dental Hygiene at the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Conn. She later received a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene through the degree-completion program at the University of Maryland in Baltimore and a master's degree in Instructional Systems Development from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The author of more than 30 articles in dental and dental hygiene journals, Gutmann has contributed three book chapters to dental hygiene textbooks and presented more than 70 papers and continuing education courses in the United States and abroad.
"Because I am retiring this year, it is particularly rewarding to receive the Dental Hygiene Teacher-of-the-Year Award from my students," says Gutmann. "What a positive way to end my academic career."

Sister Christa Parra runs Thursday at the Loretto Convent in Wheaton.
Updated: November 16, 2011 10:48AM
Christa Parra, 30, has made a vow to run 26.2 miles in Sunday's Chicago Marathon. She has never run one before.
"I want to finish well, don't want to pass out or throw up," she said with a laugh over the phone Thursday.
She has had experience being a novice.
Pretty and engaging, the second-generation Mexican American has from the days of her Arizona childhood been deeply religious. So much so that high school classmates in 1999 voted her "most likely to be a nun."
But it was not until after college, after getting engaged and then breaking it off, that she fully realized her vocation.
"I feel called by God to be a sister, to serve in this way," she said.
And so two years ago, Christa Parra entered the order known as the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, became Sister Christa, and left her extended family in Phoenix to join the IBVMs in Chicago.
Her first assignment was to work at the St. Martin de Porres shelter for women and children in Woodlawn, a place I have come to know well over the years.
Sister Therese O'Sullivan, the 73-year-old nun who runs it, couldn't have been more amazed.
"I asked myself, 'Can she be real'?" Sr. Therese said.
That's because "young" and "nun" don't go together in many of the established Catholic orders of female religious in the United States. The average age of an American IBVM is 77. Two of Sister Christa's roommates at the convent, where she lives, are 75 and 79.
"It's been quite a while since our last sister entered," said Sister Kay Foley, the Province Leader of the IBVMs, describing Sister Christa as, "the Energizer Bunny. She has such a passion for ministry, I've never seen anybody like her."
Her arrival coincided with the Vatican's decision to launch a two-pronged investigation of American nuns, long deemed too progressive and too outspoken for a conservative Curia. The probe generated an outraged response from plenty of people in the pews as well as from many sisters.
It did not, however, discourage the youngest IBVM. "We were one of the communities investigated. It's unfortunate it had to occur," Sister Christa said. "It wasn't a just thing to do. . . . But we stood in solidarity with one another and showed them what we are about."
When Mary Ward founded the IBVMs in the 1600s, she was a modern woman for the times, taking her ministry out of the cloister and believing that modest dress of the day was more practical than wearing a habit. Above all, she believed in the education of young women.
Five centuries later, Sister Christa Parra carries on the spirit of Mary Ward.
And the marathon is a metaphor for religious life. It requires commitment and discipline.
"You get up at 5:30 with the sun coming up along the lake," Sister Christa said. "This is the kind of life I want to live. To get up early, to pray and meditate, to be healthy spiritually and physically. And to be present."
Her fellow sisters will cheer her on from the sidelines Sunday, wearing bright pink "Go Christa, IBVM" T-shirts.
I say amen to that.
Run, young nun, run.

November 20, 2014
Lincoln, Neb.-- Nebraskans seeking to combat human trafficking would have the help of a state coordinator under a proposal in the Legislature.
Sen. Amanda McGill of Lincoln has introduced two bills relating to human trafficking, which will be heard by the Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
One bill creates a coordinator of human trafficking prevention and rehabilitation.
McGill said there are lots of people who want to be involved but there is no one to coordinate the efforts across the state.
The coordinator would create a website and look for grants to help victims of human trafficking.
Organizations like "I've Got a Name" support McGill's bill saying they could better serve victims if a coordinator was in place.
Outreach Director Nicole Siegel at The Bay says she sees a lot of victims from I-80. I-80 continues to be a problem area for human trafficking. Siegel says with a coordinator in place, they can keep track of victims who otherwise would get lost in the shuffle.
The other bill helps define human trafficking and makes Nebraska law more similar to other states.

Product Description
The Verano is a 'medium-wheelbase' recumbent road bike. It is sporty, efficient and fast, and is appropriate for bike trails, streets and highways. The rider of the Verano is seated in a very comfortable reclined and aerodynamic position. Powerful disk brakes are standard. The Verano will fit persons from 5'2" tall to 6'4", to 250 pounds of weight.
The Verano is more challenging than our more upright bikes to learn to ride. However, it is much easier to learn than are "high racer" recumbents, partly because it is much easier to balance and to start and stop. Its medium wheelbase creates forgiving steering, powerful braking capability and resistance to side-winds if faired. The rider's height and view in traffic is about the same as that of a compact car.
The medium wheelbase and air-pad seat give a very smooth ride. The ergonomic position means that the Verano is comfortable all day long.
The Verano accepts standard bike accessories like fenders, kickstands and rear racks. Options available include mirrors, fenders, fairings and power assist.
The Verano is a STANDARD model, available both factory-direct and from select dealers.

Fuel cell Seminar Report
Branch : ECE, EEE, Mech
A fuel cell is a device that electrochemically converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidant to electrical energy. The fuel and oxidant are typically stored outside of the fuel cell and transferred into the fuel cell as the reactants are consumed. The most common type of fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen to produce electricity, with water and heat as by-products. Fuel cells are unique in terms of the variety of their potential applications; they potentially can provide energy for systems as large as a utility power station and as small as a laptop computer. Fuel cells have several potential benefits over conventional combustionbased technologies currently used in many power plants and passenger vehicles. They produce much smaller quantities of greenhouse gases and none of the air pollutants that create smog and cause health problems. If pure hydrogen is used as a fuel, fuel cells emit only heat and water as a byproduct.

Re: Going Veggie
Part of the difficulty taking care of my mother, is that SHE still wants to eat that way. Last night was a breakthrough (I hope!). I explained to Mom (one... more... time...) why she needed to diet. [She has been bedridden for 4 years now. She refuses to diet, or even eat healthy, and has gained enough weight that our aide/friend and I are having back problems moving her.]
This time she seemed to be listening. Last week my lab results showed: diabetes under control, can stop taking cholesterol medications, etc.
I showed her how I count carbs instead of calories, from my Nutrition class. She seems to be catching on and I think she likes being in control of her diet, too.
I like Carb Counting rather than dieting or veggie-ism:
First, I could never be a vegetarian and vegans I've met are too preachy for me to ever follow their way.
Second, I grew up an Ohio farm boy, raising beef cattle, a few hogs for eating, corn and wheat. Except for corn, veggie people tell me all that is evil.
Third, vegetables are like Chinese food... I can eat forever and not feel full... and an hour later I'm hungry again.
Last, people with Fibromyalgia (me!) crave protein because their bodies need more protein than most people. (Possibly to repair damaged nerve endings, I read recently.)
Carb Counting is something I can get into... I've always loved reading, including labels. Lean meat is free Carbs (LOVE that!), so are most veggies (I love veggies, but not solely). Since it seems to be working for me, I'll stick to Omnivore Carb Counting. "What works best is what works for you."
I've seen couscous, but didn't know anything about it. After reading this, I'll check it out. Also, some other foods you have all posted will be checked out.

Re: Going Veggie
The other thing is pizza. While I do usually opt for a cheeseless, I'm usually left with the feeling that it misses the point. Sometimes I have to splurge and soy cheese is just too expensive. So what I do is take a small bag of shredded mozzarella and mix it with a bag of soy mozz. I can usually get two pizzas out of that (if I go light). But if I know others will be sharing I just bite the bullet and skip the soy stuff. That way I can get fresh mozz which is so much better, anyways.
Incidentally, people always initially scoff at the idea of a vegetarian pizza, but after they try it decide they like it better because there's so much less grease.

Re: Going Veggie
teacake's description of her childhood reminds me of my wife's, in that she was raised by a hippy single mom. Eating meat or sugary cereal was how they rebelled as teenagers.
We eat meat now, but we're actually trying an experiment due to rising grocery costs. Instead of buying meat at the grocery store, we're going to try only buying at the butcher. It's more expensive, but the inconvenience of making that extra trip, and the extra cost, has naturally motivated us to move in a more vegetarian direction. Plus, the meat we do eat tastes better, and is more of a treat. I once heard someone advise using meat as a seasoning rather than a main course. That always stuck with me as an interesting perspective.
Anyways, we have a few curries we make (Chana Masala being the most recent, with homemade naan bread, yogurt and a cucumber salad), as well as soups. I love making soups.

Re: Going Veggie
Look, I never said that it's impossible to adopt a vegetarian diet, but if you go into it without knowing what you're doing it's not going to improve your health. It's much easier (and requires very little planning) to eat a reasonably healthy diet that includes meat. The same can not be said of a vegetarian diet.

Re: Going Veggie
But in case you were wondering, I can say with 100% certainty that my diet is healthier than yours. And how much time do I spend a day meticulously charting out what I'm going to eat? Well... I don't.
As far as the protein, well I already addressed that.
That said, J. started this thread as a positive thing. Please take your negativity someplace else.

Re: Going Veggie
I didn't use to be a big fan of soups but my mom recommended it recently and I read trough this book of soup recipes that she has and found several really yummy ones. I did notice afterwards that most of them where tomato based. No surprise since I love tomato.
We have sort of a liquid bouillon that's called "fond" (roughly translated to "foundation"). I'm going to buy me some of those next time. The cube base worked but with the liquid one it will be even better.
Will see if I run out of the soup today or if I'll be doing something else tonight ^^

Re: Going Veggie
Anyway I'm just posting it say you can stir fry with no fry, just mix some rice in with chunky raw veg and add whatever seasonings you would to a stir fry. Great with leftover rice. Took under 5 minutes to make.

State of the Art Fashion: In the Studio with Eckhaus Latta
Sara Blazej
Photos: Benedict Brink.
Eckhaus Latta is a New York-based fashion label led by Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta. You might be tempted to call them "experimental" because they use dead-stock fabrics like velvet upholstery and military surplus blankets, or "nontraditional" because it took them five seasons to embrace a standard runway, or even "eccentric" because they slapped braces on models and sent others down the runway painted blue, but Eckhaus Latta doesn't subscribe to categories and labels. Since 2011 they've been carving out their own space within the fashion industry, making followers of art and fashion alike sit up and take notice as they build and perfect their already impressively cohesive brand. I met up with them in their Chinatown studio to discuss their Autumn/Winter 2014 collection, the trials of navigating the intersection of art and fashion, and their wedding DJ alter egos.
OOO: So, you both went to RISD and have art backgrounds. How did you meet and move into fashion together?
Mike Eckhaus: We met at the end of our time at RISD. We kind of knew each other peripherally for a few years, and then came together, clicked really fast and rapidly started having this conversation about fashion. I think for the both of us, it was the first time we had met a peer who had these similar views on clothing and got each other really riled up and excited about it.
Zoe Latta: We both had been interested in fashion in some capacity our whole lives. But once we got to art school, we were very eager to be in a critical conversation, so we both went on to study fine arts — I studied textiles and Mike studied sculpture — just because the conversation seemed so much more geared around exploration and new forms. It wasn't until we met that we both started, in our private practices, to make clothing.
ME: Separately, clothing started to appear within our studio work that we were doing at the time. Then conversations started to develop out of that. And what Zoe just mentioned, the "criticality" of being in a studio art program, and how you would process your work, how you would intellectualize it, is still quintessential to how we operate.
OOO: It's good that you try to utilize that criticality now.
ME: Completely. It's just in a much less verbalized manner. A lot of how we work has to do with this practice being rooted in a fine art dialogue and constantly remembering this is also a business.
ZL: We're making commodities. It's a kind of identity crisis in a way. There's a fluidity between those two worlds where we are still coming at this with the foundation we explained and are figuring out ways to utilize that thought process within the economy of clothing.
OOO: So, in terms of reconciling commodity and creativity, do you think that further down the line you'll move away from being less "avant-garde" — I hate that phrase —
ME: We do too. (Laughs)
OOO: (Laughs) — and into a more "wearable" place?
ME: It's funny because we are often categorized as this "avant-garde" fashion brand. We work together in a very intuitive way, and we always try to shy away from the idea of being categorized. Our clothes are actually very wearable. For the most part, none of the clothes are something you couldn't pull off the rack and walk down the street in. Something that really drew us to clothing is when you see a garment, and you're like: Wait a minute. What is that? And how do you approach it? And how does one's body interact with the object?
ZL: Part of the reason we started this is because we worked for so many different companies where every decision that was made was geared toward telling a customer what they need or want. The design process felt devoid of emotion and intuition and it was more formulaic consumerism.
ME: The way we operate is hyper emotional.
ZL: The clothes are really emotional. It is true that these clothes can be perceived as avant-garde, but we don't really think of them as weird in any way, and we don't see them as unconventional in any way. We also very intentionally choose to avoid any conversation where we're trying to convince someone to buy it.
OOO: Can you talk a little more specifically about your design process?
ME: Our process is based first and foremost in conversations. We chat a lot about everything, and as each season comes up and we start to search for materials, we tend to have a couple of very similar ideas in line. We then start to throw terms at each other and one of us will stare really blankly at the other for a while…
ZL: From then on we just ping pong back and forth, drawing and making things as we go.
OOO: It seems you're hands on about everything. What about the music in your AW14 show? Did you or Colin Self [the artist who DJ'ed the show] choose that?
ME: We're friends with Colin, and we came across this mix he made, and it hit that right chord of, "This is the right energy and feeling of this collection."
OOO: How would you describe AW14 it in your own words? Because you didn't talk about it in the press release.
ZL: You read the poem, right?
OOO: (Laughs) Yeah.
ZL: We don't describe the collections. Okay, all of this is coming from this sort of belief that once something has a clear reference, or once this thing is titled, it really takes away from someone's experience of it. It's the same way as if you were in a museum looking at a beautiful, abstract painting and it makes you think all these things, then you look over and you read the wall label, and it's like, "This is a series about being raped," you know? I think a lot of times to contextualize where something is coming from is very important, but for us, right now, it's much more of a formal, abstract process. I think that's why the poem sits really nicely with it, because, as Mike said, this is a very emotional practice, and the poem serves as a kind of explanation of where our hearts and heads were at in making it.
OOO: That's a good point, especially for clothes, since one's personal identity is so wedded to what one wears…
ZL: Yeah, in avoidance of: "This is about either an uptown girl or a downtown girl."
ME: How do you buy into an identity? While creating this last collection, there was a feeling that the customer should have an understanding of him- or herself. This idea comes through in how we cast our shows. We work with agency models, but we also work with various people who strike us. This is clothing for real people, our hope is that people enjoy it and incorporate it into their world.
OOO: Your garments seem genderless to me. Is that intentional or are they pretty much designed for either a male or a female?
ZL: The thing is: in an ideal world it would be genderless, but at the end of the day there are measurements in clothing that have to be addressed. There are forms and standards within this industry. Men and women are mostly different sizes. (Laughs) That's how it gets gendered. We've always had this thing… I realized it while casting this collection, more so than any other, where instead of it being this thing about androgyny, it was more about gender fluidity. It was a kind of casting where it's like, "Is that a man or a woman? It doesn't matter, or maybe they're both." The clothes kind of did that as well in terms of the grading, and who fit what. It's not really about trans or cross-dressing at all, ever. We definitely design for male or female forms, but in terms of the way we both dress and the way we see these clothes and end up offering them in sales, for the most part it is genderless.
OOO: What are your favorite looks from the AW14 collection?
ZL: There's this pink mohair velvet that's an upholstery fabric, and I love the pieces that came out of it. They really have a life of their own in terms of how they sit on the body. The girl who ended up wearing the little shift dress we made out of it also was put in braces, and she owned it in a way that we didn't even know about until she did a run-through, and it was so moving.
ME: The knits with the felted striations across them, those I feel are physically so phenomenal, because something you unfortunately don't get to see on the runway is that the interiors of them are totally crazy, and how the fabric warps on the inside due to the external structure cinching together. There's this whole other story that isn't even visible.
OOO: You usually don't do a traditional runway. Why did you decide to do one this season?
ME: In the past, we've presented our collections in various formats.
ZL: This season, we were interested in the challenge of figuring out the simplest way to present a collection and still make it "us." There's something so exhilarating about clothes doing the basic human movement of walking so the clothes could just be exactly what they are.
OOO: If you weren't going to be fashion designers, what would you be? Would you be artists?
ZL: Oh, we think about this all the time. Wedding DJ's.
OOO: (Laughs) Both of you?
ME: Mmm-hmmm. Together. I'd be DJ JC Penney, and she's T-T-T-Toddler.

Why not put the owner in a too-small box and see how he likes it!

I have been searching for something that will help me reduce daily stress, anxiety, irritability, and restlessness. This Passion Flower extract does all that and more. It has also helped with my insomnia. I keep this next to my bed so that whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, I drop a few dropper's-full underneath my tongue. Within five minutes of taking this, I am feeling calm again and can fall right back asleep. I also keep a bottle in my purse. When I use it during the day it doesn't make me sleepy or drowsy and I am able to function just fine. I simply feel calm and can go about my daily routine feeling more at ease. When you use the sublingual method (under the tongue), it can burn a little because of the alcohol, but that goes away after a while. I do it that way because it works faster. I wish there were an alcohol-free version. I have to use more than the recommended dose in order to notice anything, but this definitely gives me a much better feeling than California Poppy or Damiana, which both seemed to come with withdrawal symptoms. This is definitely a must-have item during the stressful winter holidays, during big events, or while shopping in a Wal-Mart store.

All the products from Eclectic are great, but the fresher the better. The product I get from iherb is fresher than any I have found -- and I live 30 minutes from the Eclectic Institute in Oregon.
Awesome for a stressful day

I can take a little of this in water early in the day and feel calm even when my toddler is screaming in the store. LOVE it.
