Born,raised and educated in Bristol in UK I now live in a small village in the outskirts of the city. Married with 2 daughters both my husband and I work in the medical fields.
Alice my eldest secured a 1st in Mphys in 2013 and is now doing Phd in Physics and Hannah the younger one is looking foward to reading Chemistry after her A Levels next year.
I holidayed in Mauritius in the year 2000 and fell in love with the country and the people, hence our investment in this little paradise. Designed and built to our specification the villa provides comfort, space, peace and tranquility with a touch of luxury. Kitted to a high standard it feels like home away from home which is reflected and supported by many of our guests reviews.
And yes, my husband refers to Mauritius and the villa as his stress-busting therapeutic paradise!
Wendy Llloyd Jones purchased this villa in 2002
Having chosen Mauritius to invest in, we intentionally built the villa some 10/15 minutes walking distance from the Beach.
This decision was borne from experience gained in year 2000 when we stayed in a Beach villa. It then came to light that all the Beaches in Mauritius are public and the all-night parties were rather tiresome and a nuisance to say the least.
We feel we have the best of both worlds! A short walking distance to the Beach yet far enough to provide peace and tranquility for a relaxing holiday.
- Peaceful area.
- Private tropical gardens.
- Big private swimming pool.
- Large villa that engenders the wow-factor.
- Views for miles from the balcony.
- First class service.

|I received a quote for the replacement of my current brown vinyl (1980s) windows with okna double hung 500 deluxe windows with low E and climaguard. This includes a basement window laminated glass and a frosted small bathroom window. the quote was $5500. Is this a decent price? I also received a quote for united and simonton windows that was about 1000 bucks more (I think these were very high) from a different company.
There arent a lot of okna dealers to contrast the price here and it seems that some of you sell those as well.
Follow-Up Postings:
|well, if its 1000 cheaper than simonton, what do you think?
united is not a quality window at all by the way and simonton is average.
i have no idea how an okna dealer came in that low especially since there is a rather large upcharge for brown vinyl. something doesnt sound right.
- Posted by woodbine_cat (My Page) on Wed, Sep 21, 11 at 11:02
|We are getting quote from Okna right now.
I would be curious how much was your quote for window and the size of the window.
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 21, 11 at 11:53
|Also you never do tell us how many windows and what is included with the installation. Are all 3 quotes for the same type of installation using the same materials?
- Posted by skydawggy (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 21, 11 at 12:15
|You can hand 2 different painters the exact same can of paint and end up with 2 very different results. Thinking of windows as a comodity is where most go wrong.
i noticed you are interested in the other quote. his quote is irrelevent since you dont know the extent of the install as well as the quality of the installer doing it.
if your objective is negotiating the cheapest price, you are going to be spending alot of money later.
i would first see if i liked the quality of the window, then evaluate as to whether or not the company you are considering can do a quality install. usually reputable companies charge an honest rate. its the cheap guys that cause the consumer all the problems.

|Talk about piling on...you guys are a tough crowd :) sorry, i thought i mentioned that it was for 13 windows, i am getting white replacements to the currently brown windows. I didn't think that the company with the uniteds was anywhere near the ballpark and they left a bad taste in my mouth. The installations with the uniteds were going to have to do work on the sill to improve the pitch. The okna includes replacement of a few sills. I dont know how simonton compares to the okna (I think it was simonton 5500, the dealer was never that clear on the model number but was the same glass without climaguard).
I was just trying to get an idea of that was a reasonable quote for these windows and an install (understanding that you cant tell how in depth the install is).
- Posted by skydawggy (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 21, 11 at 23:25
|The Okna 500 is a better window than the Simonton 5500. that doesn't mean you will not be happy with the Simonton, just that the Okna is a step above. I don't comment on price as I have no idea what your dealers overhead expenses are. As a general rule, I would expect the Okna 500 to be more than the Simonton 5500 given the same installation and options. OTOH I would worry about a price that's too low. The old saying that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is might apply. Have you checked these dealers out with the BBB, Angies List, rferences etc.?
|I have never seen an Okna 500 priced that low especially with brown.I don't comment on price but that is o ridiculous that contractor could be losing money. A lower vend price would be 7,000 .
If Okna found out someone was selling the window that low and basically losing money, they would not be happy.
- Posted by queenskitchen (My Page) on Thu, Sep 22, 11 at 9:44
|mmarsel - i am getting white not brown. also, the 800 series was up around the $7500 mark i think (out of my budget)
I intend to get the Okna windows. I called Okna to ask about the distributor (and checked BBB and Angies) and they said people have been very happy with their work and they get practically no complaints with them. I am concerned that the cost will escalate if they find "problems" with the underlying structures, replacement of a couple of sills with known issues are included.
- Posted by skydawggy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 22, 11 at 9:57
|Hidden damage is always a possibility. If we know about it in advance and it's something we can see, we let the customer know and tell them what we would charge to repair. However, if we remove a window and there are termites, obviously that's not something we could have known about and there is an extra charge. I would ask if they have a standard charge per linear foot for rotted wood and get that in writing on your contract.
|i am still baffled by that low of a price even with white. it just doesnt make sense.
anyway, good luck.

Today was pretty amazing. I was woken up sometime around 2am this morning by my hubby. He said I had received a text that my goddaughter was on the way. I shook off the sleepy feeling, got dressed and made the hour drive to the hospital. I wasn't prepared for what was about to take place.
One of my closest friends was in labor. Pretty hardcore labor, with contractions every couple of minutes. A master of hypnobirthing, she made it through each contraction like it was nothing. I couldn't help but to flash back to my last labor when I was in tears, making horrible grunting noises and telling my husband that there was no way I was going to make it through alive. Had I known that this hypnobirthing existed, my experience may have been so much different!
As we sat in the room, for nearly 4 hours, trying to keep our eyes open, my friend was taking deep breaths and staying incredibly calm, considering the circumstances. And then, she finally yelled out. Within minutes, there were at least 5 people in the room and the Dr was telling her to push. There was a head after the first push. And with the second push, out came my goddaughter. I was in tears. It was THE most amazing thing I've ever witnessed. Having 3 c-sections myself, I had never experienced this, especially all natural – no drugs. It's an experience I will never forget.
I'd like to introduce you to my goddaughter, London. 8lbs 5 oz and 20 inches of complete cuteness. I'm so very honored to have been there for your first breath and I promise to be there for you forever. I love you sweet girl!

Online Assessment and Digital Cheating: An Exploratory Study of Using Maple TA PROCEEDINGS
Ya-shu Yang, University of Connecticut, United States ; Martonia Gaskill, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, United States
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-84-6 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
The purpose of this study is to address the relationship between digital cheating and online assessments in distance education. Distance education has been pressured by accreditation agencies to show evidences of the quality of online instruction and integrity of assessments. Yet, the exponential growth of distance education has brought the challenge of providing procedures and means of testing that fulfill both security of student information and academic integrity of online testing. This paper provides distance educators and instructional designers with insights on digital cheating, strategies to minimize cheating and the role of the testing systems on cheating. Practical implications for researchers and education are discussed.

Also Present:
Mr. Larry Hall, Mr. Dan= iel Guimond, Mr. John Lavallee, Mr. Dennis Viger, Mr. Gregory Farris, Mr. Rob= ert Sherman, Mr. Joe Puddister, Mr. David Cate, Mr. Ken Dunne, School Board Representative Megan Larson, Selectmen Representative Edmund Gleason
School Business Adminis= trator Adam Steel, Superintendent Dr. Henry LaBranche, Assistant Superintendent Amanda Lacaroz, School Board members Brian Carton and Deb Ryan
BUDGET REVIEW – Pre-School, Pelham Elementary,
Mr. Steel came forward and
reviewed the memo dated
Ms. Lacaroz came forward = and discussed background regarding the Responsibility Pool. She said the Responsibility Pool, = some additional funds for school improvement and teacher incentive grants were a= ll driven by the teacher contract. She explained how the money was divided and distributed.
Mr. Guimond asked if the =
from the responsibility pool was a one-time bonus. Ms. Lacaroz said it was a stipend =
on top
of their pay. Mr. Farris aske=
d the
difference between the responsibility pool and the other stipends that seem=
to be overlapping each other. Ms.
Lacaroz discussed what was required for the responsibility pool, school
improvement and teacher incentive grants.&=
She then provided details regarding the summer programming (summer
institute), which provided the opportunity for the district to move forward
with a number of initiatives they've identified through various colla=
groups (mostly school and district improvement teams). She outlined what areas they were
planning to change/revise within the curriculums. Mr. Guimond questioned why that ty=
pe of
work couldn't be done during teacher workshops. Ms. Lacaroz said a lot of it was d=
one at
teacher workshops, after school and during summer institute. By allowing curriculum work during=
summer, they have back to back days to meet. Previously the work was done during
workshops and took twice as long.
Other expenses for the summer institute will utilize Title 11a
funds. Mr. Gleason asked if t=
current curriculum was structured such that it had an established procedure
approved by the state or SAU; if so would it require approval. Ms. Lacaroz replied when they wrote
curriculum they based it on state or national standards; the School Board
approved all curriculums. The
national and state standards were used for what they expected students to k=
and do in each grade level. M=
Gleason asked if the work would assist in the mitigation of the certificati=
the district was attempting to get, in light of the fact that the accredita=
was in question. Ms. Lacaroz =
said the
curriculum instruction program is reviewed to determine if it was in line to
standards. Also they had to h=
assessments in place to measure the effectiveness of the curriculum. Currently the accreditation issues=
primarily facilities. Ms. Lac=
provided an overview of the summer program (student learning). She said the purpose of piloting t=
program was to test it and see if it was a good model that would work and g=
the type of response to increase student achievement in the area of math.
Mr. Hall asked how many s= pecial education case managers at the High School. Mr. Steel said there were five case managers but could not speak to = how the cases were distributed. M= r. Hall asked if the tutors were special education. Mr. Steel believed they were both = math tutors.
Mr. Farris asked if the B= oard would see a default budget. M= r. Steel answered yes; as soon as the School Board approved it. At this time the School Board had = not reviewed or prepared it.
Mr. Sherman wanted to kno= w the percentage increase attributed to the kindergarten being absorbed in the budget. Mr. Steel said the di= strict had been paying for kindergarten expenses for the past three years. Mr. Sherman wanted to know what percentage the Town would pick up now with the state no longer paying for kindergarten. Mr. Steel said = he would inform what they had received in reimbursement during the past couple years which would give an indication of the operation expenses.
The Board began their bud= get review.
Mr. Farris saw that there=
two teachers in the Elementary School salary budget that were placed in bec=
they were being regarded as positions formerly in the budget. He felt new positions should go in=
of the voters and pointed out that there were a few contingencies in the bu=
based on what was thought to be needed.&nb=
From a budgetary perspective, Mr. Steel said they try to budget to m=
sure they have the appropriate resources to fulfill their mission and their
obligations to the school district.
He said they didn't know how many first grade students would s=
up, they were budgeting on the only information they had available to them =
this time. If there were fewer
students than projected, they wouldn't hire a teacher that wasn'=
needed; the money would be returned to the tax payers the following year.
Mr. Hall questioned when they woul=
d have
an updated estimate of the first grade.&nb=
Mr. Steel said last year they received enrollment projections in
October, but had not received them yet.
Mr. Hall asked if the cus=
were included in the salary pool.
Mr. Steel answered yes. Mr.
Hall questioned if they contributed toward their health insurance. Mr. Steel answered no. Mr. Hall as=
ked if
anyone included in the salary pool contributed to their health insurance.
The Board reviewed the
The High School budget wa= s then reviewed. Mr. Guimond noticed= that the other school showed an increased in substitutes, but not at the high school. Mr. Steel explained t= hat the high school had two people at the school every day; they are being call= ed employees (hall monitors) who had their salary matched in the daily substit= ute line with the total being the same.
Mr. Guimond asked if the = software automation system would make all three schools and the public library connected. Mr. Steel said all= three schools will be connected together. The system won't have real time connection with the libraries,= but they can send files back and forth so the library (database) can be searched. Mr. Guimond saw a l= ine for replacement of all student lockers ($60,000) and questioned how old the lockers were. Dr. LaBranche s= aid the lockers were fro 1974. = p>
Mr. Hall asked if the cos= t for gas, electricity, etc. would be amended at reconsideration. Mr. Steel said the numbers were correct.
The Board then reviewed t= he District budget. Mr. Guimond = questioned the increase in contracted direct services. Mr. Steel said the number was base= d on expenditures last year.
Mr. Steel commented regar= ding the contracted speech services. He noted that last year $207,000 was spent and had the new position not been a= dded this year, the budget would have been in that ballpark. The salary for the position was re= duced from the line. He said the Di= rector of Special Services indicated that speech needs had continued to increase a= nd the line would have been budgeted much higher than last year's expend= ed amount.
Mr. Hall asked if the tec= hnology plan would be available prior to reconsideration. Mr. Steel would find out.
Mr. Viger questioned if a= plan had been formulated to replace the cable boxes when the signal was changed = to high definition. Mr. Steel sa= id they had not addressed it yet, but would have it ready prior to reconsideration.
There was a question rega=
the increase in regular transportation.&nb=
Mr. Steel said they would be going out for an RFP and believed in
January they would have a better idea of the budget number. They anticipated a new contract fo=
r next
year. Mr. Guimond heard that a
transportation specialist was reviewing the bus routes and asked if it was
being done. Mr. Steel said th=
hired Transportation Advisory Services who had evaluated all the contracts,
held meetings and created a report for moving forward. They have recommended not bringing
transportation in house; but instead to work with
Mr. Gleason asked if the = School Board had approved the budget numbers contained in the worksheets provided = to the Board. Mr. Steel answered= yes; the School Board is updated on every change.
With regard to architectu= ral and engineering fees, Mr. Farris said there were several proposals based on what had been already expended (by various committees) when they looked at the b= est solutions for the Town. He believed there had to be enough information in t= he plans that the school already owned. In his opinion if the school wanted additional information, the vote= rs should be asked if they wanted to expend another $100,000. Mr. Steel said the School Board had hanging issues with respect to facilities within the district. Any solution prepared for a ballot initiative required the work of professionals to narr= ow down the scope and establish an appropriate budgetary figure.
Mr. Dunne asked if the sc=
hool had
researched the possibility of a new lease for the kindergarten modular vers=
purchasing it outright. Mr. S=
said the options were: 1) do nothing and have the building removed August,
2012; 2) purchase the building outright ($562,000); 3) extend the current
operational lease by one year ($122,000); or 4) enter into a capital lease =
purchase the modulars outright over a period of time. He said all the options were
available. Mr. Dunne asked if=
School Board decided to purchase the modular. Dr. LaBranche replied that the Sch=
Board had not received the information; they would hear a report on Wednesd=
evening at their meeting. He
suspected they would provide direction in their decision that could be brou=
back to the Board. Mr. Guimond
asked if there was a cost for disposing of the modulars. Mr. Steel said it costs approximat=
ely $31,000
to remove the modular from the site.
If done in August, 2012 the cost would be paid for by the State of <=
Mr. Guimond commented tha= t the high school sprinkler system and HVAC system were both put forth as petition warrant articles and not supported by the School Board. He questioned why the School Board= had changed its mind. Ms. Larson couldn't speak to what happened the previous year (she wasn't on the board at that time). She = said they had done due diligence and made sure that the building could support b= oth systems. Because they believe= d the building would remain in use within the district, and they had support from engineers who believed the upgrades could be made with no harm to the build= ing, the School Board felt it necessary to start making improvements. Mr. Guimond questioned if the taxp= ayers should have the choice in a warrant article, since the systems were in a warrant article last year. Dr. LaBranche said the School Board had made a different decision. He supported the comment that the building would continue to be used in the future. He noted that the accreditation st= atus was not about instructional efforts and curriculum, but was based upon maki= ng improvements to the building. He felt there was a responsibility by the School Board, Budget Committee and community at large to make the building a safe environment. Mr. Guimond reiterated his questio= n of if the taxpayers should have a say. Dr. LaBranche said they would have a say at the deliberative session.
Mr. Dunne asked where the estimated costs came from for the two items. Mr. Steel said both numbers were s= till in development. Mr. Hall aske= d when the Board would have solid numbers. Mr. Steel said by reconsideration.&= nbsp; Mr. Viger agreed that the building would probably be used in the fut= ure, but believed it wouldn't be used in its current state. He said the changes being proposed= were permanent and questioned if provisions had been made for the systems to be moved/relocated in the future without a lot of expense. Dr. LaBranche said the engineers u= sed for both projects indicated that those concerns were being addressed. Mr. Farris said one of last year= 8217;s arguments (by the School Board) was they didn't know what would happe= n to the building and by installing the systems would limit its use. Dr. LaBranche couldn't comme= nt about last year. He said the building's configuration had been taken into consideration by the engineers in planning. He sai= d the building needed both of the improvements and couldn't imagine not seriously considering them as they move forward given that the facility wou= ld still be there. He felt the c= oncern should be having the building appropriately addressed/improved, rather than what type of school the building would be.=
The District budget was r= eviewed.
Mr. Guimond was under the impressio= n that Food Service was in the 'black' and questioned why $10,000 was being put into the budget. Mr. Steel said the budget had been significantly in the 'black' the last several years. In the pa= st the medical and dental benefits for the food service employees was being paid f= or out of the general fund. The correction was made to have their benefits paid out of the food service fund and as a result that fund was closer to being even. It was felt there was an increased= risk for a potential deficit, which by law had to be covered by the general fund. Mr. Hall asked for the current surplus amount. Mr. S= teel said last year it was between $5000-$6000.= There was a brief discussion regarding the budget. Mr. Steel noted that the director = was establishing a replacement schedule for the equipment; the budget would show purchases on an annual basis moving forward. Mr. Farris asked how much revenue = the food program generated. Mr. S= teel said last year it generated approximately $5000-$6000 more than their expenses.
Under Federal Funds, Mr. = Viger asked if the number had decreased under Title I for the number the Town was subsidizing. Mr. Steel said t= hey budget federal funds based on the appropriation from the current year. The appropriation for next fiscal = year is unknown; however they did know they would have offsetting revenue to mat= ch the appropriation. They were = seeing a trend downward. Mr. Viger questioned if Title I would remain being funded in the district even if fed= eral funding was not received. Mr.= Steel didn't hear the School Board discuss that issue.
Food Service was the last=
reviewed. Mr. Hall asked if s=
pool money would become part of the employee's base salary. Mr. Steel answered yes. Mr. Hall asked if those employees =
received heath benefits. Mr. =
said the managers and director received benefits; those hired after
Mr. Farris saw there was = $10,000 for possible new equipment. He asked if the equipment replacement program would show what those funds would purchase. Mr. Steel answered yes.

text: Williams appoint spygate exile Coughlan 3 May, 2011 Mike Coughlan pictured in 2007 when working as McLaren designer May.3 (AT&T Williams) In the wake of the high ranking resignations of Williams technical boss Sam Michael and the team's aero chief Jon Tomlinson, comes the announcement that the Grove based team have appointed Mike Coughlan in the role of Chief Engineer. Mike Coughlan with Stefan GP boss Zoran Stefanovic In 2007 Coughlan, working for McLaren at the time, was involved in an espionage controversy after he obtained confidential technical information from Ferrari. Subsequently McLaren was excluded from that year's constructors' championship and fined $100-million and Coughlan banned from F1 for two years. The media termed the scandal "spygate". Coughlan's last involvement with F1 was when he worked briefly for Stefan Grand Prix in late 2009 when the Serbian team was trying to gain an entry into Formula One for the 2010 season. After the team's unsuccessful bid Coughlan was hired by Michael Waltrip Racing, Nascar taem, as director of vehicle design. Williams FI Team statement: Williams F1 today announced that Mike Coughlan will join the team in June 2011 in the role of Chief Engineer. Mike Coughlan undertook his training and education at Rolls Royce and Brunel University. He began his Formula One career at Lotus where he worked his way up to Chief Designer. He subsequently worked for Tyrrell, Ferrari and Arrows before joining McLaren in 2002 as Chief Designer. Mike left Formula One in 2007 as a result of his role in the 'Spygate' affair. Since then, Mike has applied his skills principally as Chief Engineer in the development of the Ocelot Light Protected Patrol Vehicle. He joins Williams F1 from NASCAR competitor, Michael Waltrip Racing. Frank Williams, Team Principal, said: "Mike Coughlan is a fine engineer with extensive experience across Formula One and both civil and defence engineering. He left Formula One in 2007 because of conduct which he acknowledges was wrong and which he profoundly regrets. His two year ban from the sport expired some time ago and Mike is now determined to prove himself again. Williams is delighted to be able to give him the opportunity to do this and we are very pleased to have one of the most talented and competitive engineers in the sport helping us to return to the front of the grid. This is the first step in re-building and strengthening our technical group. We will announce the next steps as they develop." Mike Coughlan commented, "I am grateful to Williams for giving me this opportunity. My experience in 2007 was life-changing. Since then, I have endeavoured to put my skills to good use in the design of the Ocelot vehicle whose purpose is to transport soldiers in safety. I have also enjoyed my time with Michael Waltrip Racing: they are an excellent race team and I wish them well for the future. Now, I am looking forward to returning to a sport which I love and to joining a team that I have admired for many years. I will dedicate myself to the team and to ensuring that we return to competitiveness while respecting the ethical standards with which Williams has always been synonymous." Read about resignations of Williams technical boss Sam Michael and the team's aero chief Jon Tomlinson Tweet Twiinz It's a sad day when an upstanding guy like Sam Micheal has to go and such an honorable team like Williams has to hire a known cheater like Coughlin. I wonder if all the people that had this opinion of Mike in 2007 will speak to this or be silent because he is at Williams. I'm sure if Mike went to a top team, people would be pissed about it. Time will tell. Also, if it is ok for Coughlin to return, then I think everyone that gripes about Flavio should have a big ole glass of shut up. He deserves the same opportunity afforded to Mike. Nemo Williams worst start in over 30yrs. Its sad that Sam Michaels is going, but something had to happen at that team. Great time to get in and buy a few of their shares for the future h.wilson Bad career move for this guy..nothing worth stealing at Williams..

The new VICSWIM Summer Kidz program will be officially launched by the Hon. Hugh Delahunty, Minister for Sport and Recreation and Veterans' Affairs at the Hamilton Indoor Leisure and Aquatic Centre, Hamilton on Friday 5 October at 10.00am.
This much loved program is being financially supported by the Baillieu Government at a cost of $1.6 million over four years, to increase participation and access to valuable aquatic education and water safety skills for children, especially in rural and regional Victoria.
'Vic', the VICSWIM Summer Kidz mascot will be there to help the Minister officially declare the online enrolments for the January 2013 program open. Eager young children will then go through their paces as part of a special VICSWIM Summer Kidz lesson.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase this iconic community aquatic education and water safety program and at just $25 for five 40-minute lessons, just about everyone can afford to give their kids these life saving skills," said ARV CEO, Mr Ian Swan.
The VICSWIM Summer Kidz program runs across Victoria at over 100 pools and open water locations from the 7th-25th January and is designed to align with both the educational goals of schools and to promote the Play it Safe by the Water message.
Online enrolments opened Monday 1 October 2012.

The movie focuses on six friends who regularly get together to play basketball, most of whom have issues with relationships. Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) is a geeky pothead and comic-book obsessive whose career is stuck in neutral and who won't pop the question to his girlfriend of nine years. Zeke (Romany Malco) is a former musician-turned-businessman who is great at picking up the ladies but can't commit to a long-term relationship. Michael (Terrence J) is good looking and charming, but his mother still has him wrapped around her finger and doesn't want to let him go. Dominic (Michael Ealy) keeps changing career goals, and while he's an excellent chef, he hasn't found a way to make it pay. And short, motormouthed Cedric (Kevin Hart) is in the midst of a divorce and can't wait to be free of his wife. Nerdy but well-meaning Bennett (Gary Owen) is the only one in a functioning relationship, and he gets a lot of grief from his buddies for his happy marriage.
As the guys are on the prowl, the women of this story have all discovered Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man (in the movie, the tome is so successful every bookstore in Los Angeles has been sold out for weeks, a prospect Harvey and his publisher would doubtless have enjoyed). Using Harvey's insight into the male psyche and how women can use it to get the relationship they want, Kristen (Gabrielle Union) tries to get Jeremy to clean up his act and propose. Mya (Meagan Good) is tired of players and tests Zeke's mettle by following Harvey's advice and taking sex off the table for 90 days. Candace (Regina Hall) is a single mom who wants Michael to put her first in his life for a change and turns to the book for help. And Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) is a successful business executive who doesn't want a man who isn't up to her standards, and isn't happy when she falls for Dominic only to find he hasn't made much of his life yet.
Think Like a Man is in many ways a simple story of four couples who take a comically long time to figure out they're in love, all made complicated by the desire of everyone involved to "win" in the relationship. Steve Harvey periodically pops up as himself, delivering the sage advice he put in his book (no one, of course, questions the wisdom of a man who is currently on his third marriage), and the men and women have wildly different interpretations of Harvey and his book (the gals think he's revealing the secrets of the universe, while the guys believe he's a traitor). Think Like a Man is more than a bit predictable in the way the couples do and don't get along at various points in the story, and screenwriters Keith Merryman and David A. Newman lift some recognizable bits from other films along the way to pad out the plot. But if the material is rather stale, the cast know what to do with it, and director Tim Story has the smarts to give them the room to work. Kevin Hart overplays as loudmouthed Cedric, but Romany Malco shows a knack for both comedy and romance, and Terrence J and Michael Ealy make their characters likable despite their flaws. Meagan Good is engaging and sexy as Mya, Gabrielle Union is charming as a girl geek succumbing to the call of maturity, and Taraji P. Henson does a solid job of balancing the cool and loving sides of her character's personality. At a bit over two hours, Think Like a Man could use some trimming, and a more polished script wouldn't have hurt, but the cast carry the day and overall this is a cut above most romantic comedies in recent memory. And if Steve Harvey's book can become a major motion picture, perhaps there's still hope that John Muir's How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive will come to the big screen after all. leave a comment --Mark Deming

/// What It's Like Raising More Than $300,000 on Kickstarter
April 9, 2013 | All Things Digital
About a month ago, Willi Wu and his co-developers at Robocat sought to raise about $35,000 on Kickstarter to fund the development of a little thermometer that plugs into your smartphone's headphone jack. Instead, they raised that much in six hours. A month later, and the project closed more than $300,000 in funding. Read the rest of this post on the original site »

Will Liquid-Cooled Computers Make a Comeback?Submitted by Matt on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 19:47
Liquid cooling was once a staple of large-scale computing, but has largely been replaced by air cooling. We identified several efforts to bring liquid cooling to the server world in our first version of this post in 2012 and issued updates ever since. Here are the latest.
The Software Side of Green ICTSubmitted by Matt on Tue, 08/27/2013 - 13:03
Most Green ICT focuses on hardware. That make sense, because hardware lifecycles encompass everything from environmentally responsible sourcing of its raw materials through energy efficiency of its use to sustainable disposal at its end-of-life. Special utility software such as desktop power-saving plays a central role in Green ICT, but less attention has been given to the application and system software in the gear, itself. Now, projects are looking at how to create more sustainable software.
DC Power Distribution for ICT Gaining GroundSubmitted by Matt on Thu, 05/16/2013 - 19:43
Most ICT gear - core facilities, communications infrastructures, and edge devices - runs on DC power. Converting AC to DC within a building is inefficient, on-site renewable power generation is usually DC to begin with, and super-efficient LED lighting is also DC. So DC power distribution has been a attractive option, but there have been vigorous arguments for and against. Recent events suggest the tide is turning in favor of DC distribution, although skeptics continue to press their case. The growing use of solar-generated electricity might be providing the latest boost DC.

How Green is Wearable Tech?Submitted by Matt on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 16:51
Wearable tech is of interest to Green ICT because it can drive miniaturization and energy efficient. Miniaturization can reduce resource consumption in the creation of ICT gear and reduce e-waste in its disposal. Miniaturization combined with energy-efficiency can enable a host of applications ranging from "smart building" sensors to compact assistive technology. Is more wearable tech all positive? We look at a number of global trends and technologies.
Non-Chemical Batteries Emerge for ICT Facilities and InfrastructureSubmitted by Matt on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 11:15
What is a battery? A device to store energy and convert it to electricity on demand? This is an important question as ICT facilities and infrastructure elements increasingly rely on sophisticated battery-based systems such as UPS. Potentially greener alternatives are emerging to chemical batteries, with flywheels appearing to have the most momentum for ITC facilities going into 2013.
Let's start by reviewing the role energy storage devices play in ICT. A 2011 APC white paper lists three applications:
Sewage Powers Microsoft's Zero Carbon Data CenterSubmitted by Matt on Tue, 11/27/2012 - 10:22
Microsoft has announced plans to spend $5.5 million to build a zero-carbon data center pilot project in Wyoming. A source of very low carbon electricity is key to such projects. Microsoft's power generation fuel? Municipal sewage!
Standby Power Is an Issue at the IC Scale, TooSubmitted by Matt on Sun, 08/05/2012 - 14:54
We've covered the issue of 'vampire devices": excessive standby power consumption in consumer electronics and other ICT components. As integrated circuits become more power-efficient during operation, their standby power consumption becomes an issue, too. A research group at Japan's Center for Spintronics Integrated Systems and Research Institute of Electrical Communication of Tohoku University together with NEC Corporation (NEC) has developed a standby-power-free large-scale integrated circuit (LSI).
Memory at Very Small ScalesSubmitted by Matt on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 15:13
Two technology advances point to the promise of more more energy-efficient memory. One is described as "nanoscale", the other "atomic scale". The latter comes with a video.
Computing Benchmarks for Energy EfficiencySubmitted by Matt on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 13:55
Interest in energy-efficient computing has sparked a Vertatique discussion of energy-sensitive benchmarks beginning in 2007. We originally saw pages per kilowatt hour, "MIPS / Watt" or "Flops / Watt" and Peter Kooge's "performance / joule". More have since been proposed, including one from focused on CO2e, but none have emerged as definitive.
Ethernet-Powered LED LightingSubmitted by Matt on Thu, 02/16/2012 - 13:11
Facebook mentions in passing that its highly efficient Prineville data center uses "Ethernet-powered LED lighting [to] reduce the total energy required to run the facility." Additional information about what exactly Facebook has done is hard to fine. What is Ethernet-powered LED lighting?

Cameron and Hidalgo County Unemployment Numbers Highest in State
The State of Texas added nearly 30,000 jobs, yet unemployment numbers are still pretty high in the Lone Star state at 8.4%.
Hitting even closer to home, unemployment numbers in both Cameron and Hidalgo county are at the top of the list for the highest unemployment figures. For July both counties peaked at between 12.7% and 13%, however, there is some good news. Numbers have actually shown a slight improvement by two tenths of a percent over the last month. Executive Director of Cameron County Workforce Solution, Pat Hobbs, says, "There's an influx of Mexican citizens moving from Mexico and they have pesos and they aren't afraid to spend them, it might be due to the influx of Mexican nationals in the area."
Hobbs says more customers at various businesses means employers are having to hire more workers, be it seasonal workers or long term. Any improvement in the unemployment numbers is one the county will take.

Check out video footage of Sophia and her new daughter!
Clinging to Survival
Stop by Tropic World: Asia in the coming weeks and you may be treated to the site of Sophia Orangutan tending to her infant daughter. The new arrival, born October 6, can be hard to see at first. She clings tightly to her mother, and is often hidden behind Sophia's protective arms.
The mother-daughter bond is heartwarming—but it's much more than that as well. It's evidence of the positive impact that conservationists and keepers can have on the threatened species.
The population of orangutans in the wild has declined 50 percent in the past 18 years. The primary culprit is habitat devastation. Huge tracts on the rainforest islands of Sumatra and Borneo are being logged, and the dense vegetation and high trees that orangutans depend upon are being replaced by palm oil plantations.
Demand for Oil
Palm oil is in demand as an ingredient in baked goods and candies. Many manufacturers favor palm oil because it is low in trans fat—and allows them to label their products "no trans fat" in order to appeal to increasingly health-conscious consumers. (Palm oil is high, however, in saturated fats—which, like trans fat, can increase the risk of heart attack.)
Researchers estimate that 5,000 wild orangutans die every year—a rate of decline that, if unchanged, would result in the species being extinct in the wild by 2025.
Conservation and zoological organizations worldwide are taking a two-pronged approach to addressing the extinction crisis. The first prong consists of education and outreach efforts to prevent habitat loss and other threats faced by orangutans in the wild. The second is the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Orangutan Species Survival Plan, a cooperative program that manages the breeding of orangutans in zoos to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse and demographically stable population.
Sophia's new daughter is evidence that the latter is working. And the care and attention that Sophia is showering on the newborn demonstrates the important role that keepers play in species conservation.
Modeling Motherhood
Orangutan mothers learn how to care for an infant by watching their own mother. Sophia wasn't raised by her mother, so she reached maturity with no idea how to tend to an infant.
Understanding that orangutans are best raised by their mothers, and not zoo staff, Sophia's keepers took it upon themselves to show her how to raise her firstborn by example. They displayed correct maternal behaviors, such as how to carry and nurse an infant, in front of Sophia.
No one had previously attempted to teach maternal behaviors to an orangutan in a zoo. But watching Sophia care for her daughter, her fifth child, it's evident that the lessons worked.
Sophia will have plenty of opportunities to display her maternal skills in the coming weeks, months and years. Young orangutans have the longest maternal dependency period of all mammals. Newborns cling to their mothers for approximately 10 months. And they may continue to nurse up to age five.
Working on Well-Being
CZS is not just concerned about the survival of orangutans. We place a high priority on ensuring their well-being. Carol Sodaro, our associate curator of mammals, has served as husbandry advisor for the Orangutan Species Survival Plan since 1992. In addition to using her experience and knowledge to promote the well-being of orangutans at Brookfield Zoo, she regularly consults with the other zoological institutions participating in the Orangutan SSP.
In October 2007, CZS hosted an Orangutan Husbandry Workshop, a meeting of orangutan management experts, researchers, and field biologists from around the world. Sodaro and other husbandry professionals shared information on the proper social management of orangutans in zoos and rehabilitation centers and promoted public awareness of the challenges this critically endangered ape faces in the wild.

Love triangle! Comedic antics!! Gang warfare?! You won't want to miss out on Weekly Shonen Jump's laugh-out-loud feel-good manga series, Nisekoi!
Ahh... The smell of gunpowder in the morning. Probably not the typical way most Japanese high schoolers greet their day, but that's everyday life for our esteemed main character, Raku Ichijo. Growing up the only son of an infamous yakuza boss has its perks, but it's mostly an annoyance to Raku, who dreams of attending a prestigious university in order to become an upstanding civil servant. But before he can fully assimilate himself into normal society and devote himself in becoming a productive and respectable citizen, his journey is unexpectedly derailed by...a knee in the face!
Chitoge Kirisaki is anything but normal. She stands out with her half-American and half-Japanese looks, but all she wants is a normal life with normal friends. And just because you look a little different, it shouldn't be much of an issue once you get to know people, right? Only Chitoge's differences don't just end there. Her father's an American boss gang, and her over-the-top bodyguard Claude constantly monitors her every move. This time around though, she's starting fresh at a new school. Not wanting to mess up this golden chance, she wholeheartedly leaps into her new life, only to crash-land smack into an unsuspecting boy...
Sparks instantly fly when Raku and Chitoge first meet, but not the compatible kind that marks the start of a whirlwind romance. Instead it's the kind of sparks you get when you grind two incongruous surfaces together, or the kind you get when a flying knee meets a face. The two find themselves instantly bickering and vow to avoid the other like the plague. However, fate...er, rather their conniving fathers have a different plan for the at-odds couple...
The Shue-gumi yakuza faction and the Beehive gang are at war, and recently conflicts have escalated. It's gotten to the point where an all-out war might just break out between the two factions. Both leaders though come up with a simple and swift solution to this crisis, arrange for their kids to become a false couple! Imagine Raku's surprise when his arranged girlfriend turns out to be none other than Chitoge!
Nisekoi print volume 1 just came out in stores this past week! It's been a long time coming and I hope many more will soon follow! In the meantime, you can read the latest, most current chapters of Nisekoi every week inside Weekly Shonen Jump! Enjoy!
Did ya know? The Nisekoi anime started this past month. Watch the streaming episodes HERE!

Loosely based on the French 75, a classic cocktail of gin, Champagne, lemon juice, and sugar, this sparkling beverage uses lemonade concentrate as a shortcut. Be sure to allow the concentrate to thaw ahead of time. You'll use almost a whole bottle of Champagne; the rest goes into the dessert. If time allows, you can use a quick simple syrup with lemon juice: Combine 3 tablespoons each of sugar, lemon juice, and water; microwave for 1 minute, and cool.
Cooking Light MAY 2011
1. Combine gin and lemonade concentrate in a pitcher; chill until ready to serve.
2. Just before serving, add Champagne to gin mixture; stir gently. Garnish with tarragon sprigs, if desired.

What caused spectacular Seattle-area sunset?on July 14, 2014 @ 12:55 pm
Social media blew up with hundreds of shots from around the area with almost surreal hues of red, yellow and orange that made the sky look like it was on fire.
So what caused the seeming meteorological phenomenon?
University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences professor Cliff Mass says it was a perfect storm of geometry and nature.
"Normally we have layers of clouds that stretch across the horizon," Mass says. "But in this case it was clear on the horizon but cloudy overhead, and the geometry worked out."
Mass says the timing just happened to be perfect to allow the setting sun to send light rays through the sky and reflect off the cloud above the Seattle-area.
As an added bonus, those who happened to look to the east were also treated to a rainbow as a brief band of rain showers moved through the area just before, Mass says.
Josh Kerns is an award winning reporter/anchor and host of KIRO Radio's Seattle Sounds (Sunday afternoons 5-6p) and a digital content producer for MyNorthwest.com.

Vista View
Prior to closing the landfill, Solid Waste Services had to develop a plan to be approved by the Arizona Department of Quality (ADEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In accordance with EPA regulations and approved by ADEQ, the landfill now includes a geosynthetic clay liner, and uses an evapo-transpirative cap that prevents infiltration through the use of natural systems. The division still manages and monitors the post-closure environmental elements that primarily revolve around a flare station that burns off the excess gases generated from the decomposition of waste.
"Once the closing procedures were executed and the work was completed … we were able to proceed with the planning and developing for the park site, and that began with adding the additional layer of dirt on top of the engineered cap to provide the necessary buffer zone from the landfill," says Tolle.
Safety regulations allow for limited shrubs and trees, which will be featured at the bark park area, ramadas and along parts of trails. Aside from native landscaping, there will be grass areas in the bark park.
Elevating The Landscape
Extending the engineered cap with more surface soil required a massive excavation and soil transfer from another nearby future park site called NozomiPark. The removal of 300,000 cubic yards of dirt had an impact on several fronts–it created a needed flood basin for the city, set the foundation for NozomiPark's development, and elevated Paseo Vista's grade to a level that afforded a proper base for developing the infrastructure and landscape.
"We needed fill to raise the dirt level above the landfill cap, and being able to draw from the Nozomi site across the street proved to be very convenient and efficient in the whole process," says Brett Fowler, Project Manager for Tempe, Ariz.-based Valley Rain Construction Corporation.
A section of road that separates the two park sites was closed to ease traffic congestion and expedite the dirt relocation. Overall, the site received more than 478,000 cubic yards of soil above the cap. In addition, many mesquite trees were salvaged from NozomiPark, and will be replanted at Paseo Vista. The new landform creates an overlook that is the second-highest point in the city.
"Building up the dirt level presented a significant challenge as we had to continue to add more than we had anticipated, as there was some settling and shifting of the ground surface and grade changes in the early going," Fowler says.
As Paseo Vista has developed, its configuration and contours have gradually taken shape as the land and its additional landscape fill have settled. There are 26 moisture sensors throughout the park that will indicate if moisture levels are approaching the landfill cap.
Environmental And Artistic Elements
Since the park is rising from a landfill, city officials also wanted to incorporate components that would not only educate the public on the value of recycling but demonstrate unique ways that recycled materials could be reused. Salvaged tires were used to form retaining walls, the safety backstop to the archery range and a colorful retaining wall in the children's play area. Large quantities of reclaimed sidewalk and other concrete were used to form additional retaining walls and curbing, while the drive surfaces make use of milled asphalt from other city street-improvement projects. There also will be an interpretive area with art made from a cross-section of materials normally found in a landfill.
Gabion basket walls were used throughout the site as a major piece in preserving the land formation, protecting against erosion, and expediting the run-off of excess water into three major retention basins at the corners of the park. They also project an aesthetically appealing look by using stone that enhances the visual character of the Gabion walls as landscape features. Rainwater will run through a collection of channels, slowing the velocity and alleviating erosion before emptying into the basins, while an elaborate automated irrigation system will tend to the vegetation.
"The operating theme for the site is no penetration or infiltration into the protective cap, while allowing for ventilation through the landfill gas-collection system to the flare station," Wilson says.
New Urban Park Experience
Upon completion, Paseo Vista Recreation Area will provide a panoramic view of the entire city and adjoining Paseo Trail that serves as a bicycle-friendly, jogger's paradise. It makes efficient recreational use of a massive land space for the surrounding community that would otherwise have remained dormant within a growing, affluent section of the city, and it has the potential to be a test case for other Arizona cities and developers considering similar landfill redevelopment projects.
