The PSR-K1 is a breakthrough product from Yamaha, the world leader in musical instruments. Never before has so much technology been offered in a product at this price point. The K1 comes standard with microphone, SmartMedia card and a display that is capable of reproducing piano sheet music with notation, chords and lyrics. In true home entertainment fashion, you can connect to your PC via USB; download songs from the Internet to play and sing along with and the lyrics and notation scroll as the song plays. And with the new Performance Assistant®, you can play along with the song and not make a mistake - even if you're a complete beginner!
Pick up the Microphone and start singing
The PSR-K1 comes with its own microphone so that you can sing along with the songs in the keyboard. Simply select a song, press the Karaoke button if you just want lyrics or Score button for full sheet music with melody and chords, and sing your favorite songs. The huge backlit LCD screen with contrast control makes it easy for the whole family to get in on the sing-a-long. To add songs to the keyboard, simply connect it to your PC via the convenient USB jack on the back, and head out on the Internet (example: www.yamahamusicsoft.com) in search of your favorite songs.
Large Bitmap Display for Score and Lyrics:
Score and lyric capability were previously found on only our most expensive models, the PSR2000/2100 and up. The PSR-K1 is a breakthrough product that features a large bitmapped display that is capable of displaying notation, including treble and bass clefs, chords and lyrics - all in real time. The music actually advances as the song plays. In addition, the display tells you the chords you are playing, the Voice, Style or Song you have selected, the Tempo and the Transposition. A convenient contrast button allows you to adjust the brightness to your liking.
SmartMedia Card
The PSR-K1 is the first Portable Keyboard from Yamaha to offer SmartMedia for storing MIDI song files, including those that you record, effectively giving you an on-board solid-state disk drive with instant access to your data. In fact, the K1 comes with an industry standardized 8 MB card. And if that's not enough, when you want to archive, change or add songs to sing and play along with, simply connect the keyboard to your computer using the USB and copy songs from your computers' hard drive to the SmartMedia card using included SongFiler software. It's convenient, fast and easy.
Easy Song Arranger: Play it your way
In the past, when you wanted to learn a new song, you would probably head off to your local music store where hopefully they had the piano sheet music for the song you eagerly were looking to play and sing. This music generally contained the left and right hand piano parts, chords and lyrics. Recently, Yamaha, Hal Leonard and Sibelius got together to create digital interactive sheet music. Here's how it works. Using your computer, go to yamahamusicsoft.com, find your favorite Scorch® song(s), purchase them and download them into your computer. At this point, if you like, you can change the key and print the music using your printer. But it doesn't stop there!
By connecting the PSR-K1 to your computer you can transfer the digital sheet music into your keyboard and it will play the song for you as the music and lyrics scroll by in the screen, so pick up the microphone and sing along. If you press the Easy Song Arranger button, the keyboard will actually "read" the chords in the song (that's called XF) and play a Style (backing tracks like bass, drums and guitar) along with the piano music! You can try the song as a ballad, jazz or rock - or no backing tracks at all. And finally, go ahead and play the piano parts yourself - with or without the backing tracks. With the K1, you can play it your way!
For a demonstration of "What is a Style", click here (1.3MB download - requires Macromedia Flash and computer sound.)
Performance Assistant - even a complete beginner can't make a mistake
The Performance Assistant is a new feature from Yamaha that guarantees that you can't play a wrong note or chord. Here's how it works. Select a song and press the Performance Assistant button. Play the keyboard - any notes you like. Every note you play will fit the music! If you move up the keyboard, the pitch goes up. If you move down, the pitch goes down. Play a perfect arpeggio, or play chords in time with the music, or really "go for it" and play a solo. How about stride piano? No matter what you play, as long as Performance Assistant is "on", you're "on". Imagine being able to give a concert to your friends or relatives the first day that you get this remarkable keyboard. Well, with the PSR-K1 and Performance Assistant, you can! This feature works with all 100 built-in songs and XF MIDI files.
PC Button & USB: This keyboard loves your computer
Our customers have told us that one of the more important features to them, is the ability to connect their keyboard to their computer. The PSR-K1 has many state of the art features to make connecting as quick and easy as possible. These features include the PC Button, which takes a snapshot of your MIDI settings so that you can instantly return to them with just the press of a single button, and a USB port for transferring song data from your computer. In addition, the USB port acts as a MIDI interface, freeing you from having to purchase other MIDI peripherals like cables and adapters to play music. Simply connect a USB cable to your computer, open your favorite music software program and hit PLAY. That's it.
Sounds Good to Me
The PSR-K1 comes equipped with 486 Voices that include Stereo-sampled Piano, Sweet! Trumpet, Flute, Pan Flute, Soprano and Tenor Saxes, Cool! Jazz Organ, 10 Drum Kits and 2 Sound Effects Kits. Sweet! Voices are special voices from Yamaha that reproduce all the natural expression and vibrato of their respective acoustic instruments. Cool! Voices feature long samples of electronically amplified instruments.
And to get the most out of these great voices, there is a Stereo 2-way speaker system with bass ports. And to capture all of this sound, you'll find a built-in 6-track sequencer for recording your own songs and you can save your songs to the SmartMedia card. And to round it all out, there's a Sustain Pedal Jack (sustain pedal optional), transpose and tuning, auto harmony for the right hand, left and right hand lessons with the 100 songs and a CD-ROM containing SongFiler software and USB Drivers. It's all here.Keyboard 61 Standard Keys (C1-C6) with Touch Response

Trying to find a 9 and up passenger van that isn't to clunky. I do not see us having anymore to the klan but one making us a 9 person family. Any impute would help! We will not buy new so it needs to be used. Can't afford new......

House passes debt-ceiling extension
WASHINGTON — Republicans sped legislation through the House on Wednesday to avert the imminent threat of a government default but pointing the way to a big springtime budget struggle with President Barack Obama. The fight to come will focus on steps to wring enormous savings from Medicare, farm subsidies and other benefit programs.
The legislation, which cleared the House on a bipartisan vote of 288-144, would permit Treasury borrowing to exceed the limit of $16.4 trillion through May 18. It passed as Speaker John Boehner pledged that Republicans will quickly draft a budget that would wipe out deficits in a decade and challenged Democrats to do the same.

Definitions for kgb
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word kgb
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
or K.G.B.
the Soviet secret police responsible for intelligence and internal security, formed in l954.
Category: Government
Origin of KGB:
< Russ, for K(omitét)g(osudárstvennoĭ)b(ezopásnosti) Committee for State Security
Princeton's WordNet
Committee for State Security, KGB, Soviet KGB(noun)
formerly the predominant security police organization of Soviet Russia
The Committee for State Security, more commonly known by its transliteration "KGB", was the main security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 until its collapse in 1991. The committee was a direct successor of such preceding agencies as Cheka, NKGB, and MGB. It was the chief government agency of "union-republican jurisdiction", acting as internal security, intelligence, and secret police. Similar agencies were instated in each of the republics of the Soviet Union aside from the Russian SFSR and consisted of many ministries, state committees and state commissions. The KGB also has been considered a military service and was governed by army laws and regulations, similar to the Soviet Army or MVD Internal Troops. While most of the KGB archives remain classified, two on-line documentary sources are available. Its main functions were foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, operative-investigatory activities, guarding the State Border of the USSR, guarding the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Government, organization and ensuring of government communications as well as fight against nationalism, dissent, and anti-Soviet activities.

Can you define arms?Submitted by RC Liberty on Fri, 12/21/2012 - 13:21
This is a pretty random post. I just would like to share a few thoughts and questions.
The second amendment is The right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Lines have already been drawn on this issue, and I would think most here have accepted the lines. The debate going on today is where or if the lines should moved. Should that be the debate? As Libertarians should the debate be about whether the government has a role to play at all? Does disarming citizens of certain weapons fall under defense? Is it preemptive to take away someones weapon?
The question is how do you define the word arms?
Also, can you argue that Congress or the Executive branch may take arms away from US citizens while simultaneously arming rebels in other countries with those same type of weapons?

Don takes time to smell the roses with his sonon April 10, 2014 @ 3:48 pm (Updated: 4:33 pm - 4/10/14 )
Posted on Facebook:
"Four years ago today I had a child out of wedlock. I had a choice to run to my son, or run from him. My dad ran from us when we were young, but my Mother taught us love, commitment, and tenaciousness. She gave me the courage to run to him. My life has forever changed. I still don't know what I'm doing most days, but thanks to my Mother's example, the cycle stops with me. I will always be here for you BIG BOY! I LOVE YOU BOTH! - Gunner's dad."
Don recently lost his little sister after battling Lyme Disease. She had a great outlook on life we should all practice:
"I used to complain about the dumb things. I used to care about the way I looked way too much. I cared about what others thought of me. I took things more seriously than I should have.
My point it this... what are you caring or complaining about? What's your "status" on Facebook? From my perspective, I look forward to every errand I will get to run, every late evening doing last minute projects with my kids, every trip to the park, lazy day with my husband, yard work, dates, laundry, dusting, going to work, making dinner, wrestling with my kids and vacuuming...maybe not vacuuming...and I'm on the fence about dusting. And cleaning out the bathtub. Ew.
This situation has changed my perspective and made me a much more thankful person. Can i give you some advice? Don't waste another moment not enjoying this big, awesome life God has given you! If you've got two legs, dance! Don't waste your thoughts on what other people think of you...chances are they never think about you at all! And when your kids want to play, play! The laundry will always be there and you can rest when you're old! When you're feeling overwhelmed, choose to be thankful to God, instead, that you are able to do all you GET to do! -Colleen"
So Don spent Wednesday using his two legs to "dance" with his son... and playing "Don't Spill the Beans."

Search for peace at Crosby
Study finds fighting big problem at high school
WATERBURY — A girl walked into a home economics class at Crosby High School last month needing advice on a dress pattern. Inside the classroom was another girl with whom she had a long-running feud.
A fight broke out, and it escalated. When peace was restored, six girls were suspended. Four were arrested by police and charged with disorderly conduct; two were also charged with assault. Two girls went to the nurse with facial bruises. A teacher trying to stop the fight ended up on the floor with a slightly injured knee, according to a school official.

What to do.... kick them out of school and require persistent offenders parents/guardians to enroll them in anger management programs, before they are allowed back into mainstream school. These kids are requiring too much attention that is being taken from students that behave and want to learn. Stop playing with these kids, get tough..... BTW, do you think maybe some of this maybe related to gang disputes.......Sorry, didn't mean to say the "G" word.. "

what i have found is that fear is one of the best motivators ever. fear of god, fear of mom or dad, fear of the principal, fear of their teachers. fear of jail.
there is no longer fear of ANY of these things. they dont believe in god, they hang out with mommy and dont know daddy and the principal and teacher have been neutered by our over ambitious group of lawyers and politicians. "

@ Norma - "Teach them a trade". Really? What trade do you know of that doesn't require basic reading and math skills? It's not that the "30% of students" are "bored": they are overwhelmed because the content is so far over their head. These students will work in fast food restaurants, factories, and unskilled blue collar jobs, if they WORK at all!
I would fight to make sure that the academically hard working (but below average ) student gets the chance to be taught a trade before a deviant thug gets a chance. "

As mentioned earlier, it really is a numbers game. Were board policy to be strictly enforced, the number of children disciplined would be intolerable. Was there not a suggestion of racial bias in the enforcement of the dress code policy recently?
For those who could not read the entire article. A night alternative high school is coming that is supposed to be used for the unruly during the daytime classes.
I have no idea what THE solution is, but don't we all hope and pray that the talented and hardworking are able to find their way through the school system? Maybe this alternative night school thing will be a really good idea. (God help the staff that has to teach /watch them.) "

That's how it was when I went to school. Now if you separate kids by learning ability, you'll have baby's mama cursing at the principal and mayor.
I said it before separate the whole school system by ability and merit. The hard working smart kids go to this school. The ones not excelling but trying go to this school. The mentally challenged go to this school. the punks go to that school. Those not achieving a B in every subject CANT play sports. Habitual tardy, no sports.
Then at least the city will produce some really talented kids. Can we try to smarten up the kids rather than dumb them down? It's the socialist experiment. If they make everyone poor we are all equal, rather than making us all wealthy. "

I don't want to separate anyone actually. I just want to IDENTIFY non-performing students by using the only thing that counts: Their own records.
Students who have not performed in the Middle Schools have consistently demonstrated that there is no magic genie that will suddenly appear to help them get through high school.
300 kids determining the future of 1200 others because of a). Bad Behavior, b). Poor Attendance, c). Inadequate Test Scores. d). Desire to exist all day on a cell phone connection. And, e). Any and all combinations of the above is criminal and does not do justice to serve the needs of the truly AMAZING 1200 kids who have to put up with their nonsense every day.
Don't separate....HOLD ACCOUNTABLE. "

Crosby Junior wrote on Apr 30, 2013 6:15 PM:
All this article says is "Crosby has a problem with fighting." But no one took the time to single out those who've fought and those who watch or are not involved. Compare the two and you will see those who fight DO live in terrible areas where it's second-nature to confront one another. Those that fight DO have lower GPA's than those who resist the urge to outlash. And here's the biggest edition... Those that fight are mostly females and have just entered this high school. Last year, we couldn't have totaled more than six fights (excluding confrontations and give or take, I don't have numbers in front of me.) These freshman this year are brolic for the most part and they have been the ones fighting. I don't mean to point the finger but the truth hurts. I have yet to see seniors fight and I have seen one fight between junior girls. One this year, one the year prior. Everything else, I do believe, is by the freshman class (remember, I don't have numbers in front of me, this is just going by my memory). Is it fair to hold the school accountable for every fight when these short-tempered and simple minded kids outlash without thinking of the consequence(s)? In a McDonalds, in a park, in the streets or in a school. Regardless of the situation, these kids will brawl. Yes, I do agree the schools can take some blame, but not all. Or even most. If a child wants to learn, he or she will learn regardless or his or her circumstances or obstacles. If a student wishes to fight or confront another student, it's going to happen. They don't think before they act.
All I can suggest is that there should be a mandatory class for all which would entitle them to spend an entire marking period, if not longer, on working on self-esteem, thinking before they act, anger management and a few other main causes of fights and confrontations. We have a drug class. But if people are so concerned about us fighting and confronting one another, why not have an anger management/self-esteem class? If the state cared as much about this as much as they do possession and/or use of illegal substances, this class would have been implemented. Let's tone the heat down and try some real solutions before we release all this negative information. At least, with the implementation of this class, the state and schools can say that they have attempted to effectively tackle the fighting situation at Crosby High School.
The whole situation is like this. If a dog were to step onto another dog's territory and one dog were to attack the other, do you blame the owner of the dogs?
In other words, if a student were to aggrivate another student to the extent that one would retaliate, do you blame the teachers who's only job is to educate the students?

I can recall only 1 pushing incident during all 5 of my children's high school years. Granted it was a private school void of troubled inner city brats.
Don't you think your school would be better off if these habitual trouble makers were expelled for good? Leaving only those that WANT to learn? Wouldn't that be nice? "

We know better.
We went to school with no fighting (or barely any fighting at all apparently).
Kids have been fighting each other for a long time.
That's what "Romeo and Juliet" is about. "

These kids are being raised (used loosely) by parents that don't know what parenting is. They are the future inmates in our prisons. The future murderers, drug dealers, addicts and hookers. If you don't want your children rubbing elbows with these future losers, put them in a private or parochial school.
I feel sorry for those in these prison training schools that want to learn. The BOE and city and letting them down and should be held accountable. "

Bomb threat rattles Ennis ISD
By 04/03/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
ENNIS - Police and fire department personnel were dispatched to Ennis Junior High and Ennis High School after a 9-1-1 call was received reporting bomb threats at both campuses in the early morning hours of Friday, March 28.
Ennis Independent Sc-hool District police, Ennis Police and Fire Department officials thoroughly search-ed both buildings not finding anything.
Ennis ISD Public Information Officer Glenn Hyde commented a call was placed to 9-1-1 about 7:15 a.m. informing officials bombs were located in the high school and junior high.
Due to the call being placed so early, the school was 'not close to being occupied' to capacity, according to Hyde.
He said many of the students who were present arrived at campus early because they ride the bus.
Hyde refused to elaborate on what type of disciplinary action the school district would take against
the suspect.
He said, 'It's a kid thing,' but it needs to be nicked in the bud. He said the suspect would be disciplined appropriately, so the kids realize this is serious.
Each school has it's own disciplinary programs depending on the seriousness of the accused offense he said.
Students, faculty, and staff were immediately evacuated from the buildings and held outside pending the outcome of sweeps being conducted by school police, Ennis police and fire department officials.
'You have to take each one seriously,' said Ennis High School Principal John Doslich.
Ennis Detective Jeff Smith said that nothing suspicious was found during the search.
School officials searched each student's backpack before allowing them to re-enter the schools.
Doslich stated it's 'back to business' I must believe the danger is very little if I had any concern at all my two daughters would not have been in school Friday.
The remainder of the school was uneventful Friday with classes and extracurricular activities going on as scheduled.
Students who missed classes Friday will be counted as an unexcused absence.
A female student reported seeing a male student being led away in handcuffs.
He's in my first period class and was joking about it she commented.
Det. Smith confirmed that a 16-year old male Ennis High sophomore was taken into custody.
The suspect is now in the custody of Ellis County Juvenile Probation Service.
It is unknown at this whether the suspect will be tried as a juvenile or adult. The case is being handled by the Ellis County District Attorney's office.

In 1398, after the construction of its castle, the city was under direct control of the feudal family of Lekë Dukagjini, but was eventually conquered by Venice. One of the most important historical events for Lezha, and indeed for all of Albania, was the famed "the League of Lezha" on March 2nd, 1444, where under the leadership of national hero Skanderbeg, the Albanian princedoms united against the Ottomans.

Winners and each of their corporate executives receive complimentary registration to United Fresh 2012 in Dallas; coach-class, roundtrip airfare to Dallas and two nights accommodations during United Fresh 2012. They also receive special recognition and reserved seating at the Annual Produce Celebration.
Congratulations to the 2012 Produce Excellence in Foodservice Award Winners!
Business in Industry & Colleges: Chef David Kramer, Chef Instructor, College of DuPage, Glen Ellyn, IL
Casual & Family Dining Restaurants: Chef Michael Stebner, Director of Culinary, True Food Kitchen, Scottsdale, AZ
Fine Dining Restaurants: Chef Brian Scheehser, Executive Chef, Trellis Restaurant, Kirkland, WA
Hotels & Healthcare: Chef Christophe Depuichaffray, Area Executive Chef, InterContinental Mark Hopkins and Hotel InterContinental San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
K-12 School Foodservice: Jessica Shelly, Director of Food Services, Cincinnati Public Schools, Cincinnati, OH
Quick Service Restaurants: John Hughes, Senior Vice President & Director of Training, Jersey Mike's Subs, Manasquan, NJ
Selection Criteria
Winners were selected by a team of produce foodservice experts, based on the following criteria:
Nominations for each of the following six business categories were submitted to United Fresh:
Business in Industry and Colleges: This category caters to college students and faculty, employees and clients, or guests of the communities. This might include cafeteria-style service to students, or a corporate dining room and administrative catering where produce is used to create great cuisine and impress clients. Nominees in this category must operate in an establishment that offers regular/daily foodservice catering to its customers.
Casual and Family Dining: This category includes sit-down restaurants with a casual atmosphere. Casual dining restaurants may provide table service (i.e. waiter/waitress service) to patrons who order and are served while they are seated and pay after eating, or provide buffet-style service.
Fine Dining Restaurants: Included in this category are "white tablecloth" restaurants that, most typically, serve prepared food for lunch and dinner, or dinner only. Full table service is provided in a formal setting, and the meal is served by wait staff.
Hotels and Healthcare Industry: This category includes hotels (independent and chain) and hospitals or other healthcare facilities. While these two categories are different in some ways, they are similar in others. For example, they likely serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the properties may never "close." Patients and guests are often present for several days, and menus might vary frequently.
K-12 School Foodservice: This category includes public, private, parochial and charter schools for primary and/or secondary students (K-12). Responsibilities likely include oversight of a school district's cafeteria menus for breakfast and/or lunch, purchasing and distribution, as well as for other school related meals and events.
Quick Service Restaurants: This category includes establishments primarily engaged in pro
viding foodservice (including snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars) where patrons generally order or select items and pay before eating. Food and drink may be consumed on premises, taken out or delivered.
Companies may nominate multiple chefs. Former winners are not eligible.

First Day
We knew this day was coming and yet it snuck up on us so quickly. We set out in plenty of time and made our way through the rain. We stood in line alongside fellow parents making awkward eye contact. We went inside and she looked up at me and said: "Bubye Mama!" So we were a 'we' no longer, I left her and walked home with Monty. Waited for a phone call to tell me she needed me which never came. Monty and I went to collect her after three hours and she bounded up to him squealing his name. It could be my imagination but I am sure she was walking more boldly.

Thanks to xgreenenvy
I woke up knowing today was going to be terrible. I'm not sure why I didn't just go right back to sleep. Well I lost focus, motivation whatever you want to call it. Plus I'm really tired. The best girl in the world is coming over tomorrow :)
Just missed my shot at an honest to god LiveJournal code. That code shit is complete horseshit. Blurty seems to do alright with no code thing, I've seen just as many abondoned LiveJournals as Blurtys. Fuck.
I hadn't posted yet today, I want to rant but I've not been inspired. Today was an unfulfilling day. Watched TV with the love of my life but we were at our own respective places. Last night was wonderful though, stayed at her place all day, had tickle fights, cuddled, it was heaven. She's got me hooked on Dr. Phil though. I never watch quality TV. The best TV was always FOX and we all know how quality their programming is. Dr. Phil has the same topics as "Jerry" only with more teeth, less incest, and a lot less chair throwing. It's upperclass trash. I love it. He's a funny man. Don't know why I'm talking about Dr. Phil, I guess there's really nothing else going on in my life right now. Well having said that I bid you adieu.
Not too long ago my mother's Grandfather died. When my Dad's parents died one keeled over and within three weeks the other one did too. I guess that's sweet that he couldn't live without his wife, but it seems like that's a common thing of couples dying more or less together. My mom's Grandmother is still going strong though, she's in her late eighties and I honestly think the family is keeping her alive. I have such a strong family. If anyone is ever hurting the entire family comes to the rescue.
The internet is producing a new breed of moron. People need to get out of their fucking computer rooms and pick up an English book. Hell any book for that matter. It's the ultimate sign of laziness and idiocy when you type lik ur frum tha speshul class. I mean Jesus mother fucking Christ people. I get that I curse a lot but that's not a sign of idiocy, it's a sign of not being creative I suppose but if you read the rest of the shit I write, or otherwise know me you know that I can most certainly be creative. Anyway back to my beratement of the internet assholes. It's worse when you type like that in your Blurty, LiveJournal, DeadJournal whatever because you're not on a time limit. If you are just learning to type and are in a chatroom, first off why? but secondly I can almost understand internet shorthand but that's the ONLY place that it's even remotely acceptable. Everyone's all "Dubya is going to be the end of this country" No it's going to be the uneducated masses. Public school is free you fucks, look into it.
I fear no evil 'cause I'm the baddest mother fucker in the valley. I want to get into boxing. I'm not black or hispanic though so I'd probably get my ass handed to me. When is the last time you've seen a good white boxer? McNealy "fought" Tyson on his first bout out of prison but look what happened there (for those not into boxing McNealy took a dive... well they say he was knocked down but he was taking a beating of his life and pussed out) Though Tyson I guess is a pretty die hard boxer. I mean you bite a dude's ear off that's hardcore boxing. Oh well breaking knees is easier than boxing, get a baseball bat swing just right you and you've got yourself a way to get your money back.
Does it bother anyone else that when the new Matthew Broderick film Godzilla came out that they went as far as not letting the toys come out until after the movie did just so that the look of Godzilla would be secret but when 9/11 happened all the media outlets were reporting where the president, the ruler of our great country the man in charge of pracitcally everything the man the terrorists were after, was? The media is going to be the end of this country. Everyday they report shit that the people probably are better off knowning. They get their big scoop and their big paychecks and are content. I'm not for censorship but shouldn't the media realize that what they're doing could have ill effects and that the cost is more than the gain?
As the morning light spilled into the room my eyes were slowly and gently forced open. I could see her hair sprawled out over the pillowcase. Her hand across my chest, beautiful face nuzzled into my neck. Slow breaths letting me know she was comfortable, that she was in love. And as I lay there I take the time to thank the powers that be that I could be there to witness her perfection. I love you, I will forever, thank you for being with me, I don't deserve someone as great as you.
Ok, so the last post wasn't the last of the night. If a person is nice does it mean that they're not also honest? Because I think that being honest would be a better quality than being nice, and being nice could be done any number of evil, lying ways. But if you were lying or whatever other evil ways of being nice just to be nice is that even being nice? In the short run it is but what happens when someone figures out that you're not being sincere when you're being nice? So I guess honest and nice go hand in hand but just the same a person could be lying to you just to make you feel better. Not that I lie to people to make them feel better.

Southern California High School Lacrosse: Foothill Knights Boys Lacrosse (6-1) Mounts 8-Goal Second-Half Run To Defeat Arch-Rival La Costa Canyon 9-8 On March 26, Ending Maverick's 27-Game Winning Streak And Avenging Double-Overtime Loss In 2010

NCAA Lacrosse: #11 Johns Hopkins Men's Lacrosse (6-2) Holds On To Defeat #2 Virginia 12-11 At Homewood Field On March 26
A youth-filled Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team rode the emotion of a quick start to build an 8-3 lead against second-ranked Virginia early in the third quarter of Saturday's showdown at Homewood Field.
When the run by the senior-laden Cavaliers came – as everyone knew it would – many in the crowd of 3,200 figured the Blue Jays had given Virginia its best shot and the experienced Cavaliers would ride its momentum to victory.
A funny thing happened after the Cavaliers grabbed a 10-9 lead with just over nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter; it was the Blue Jays who responded, not just once but three times to grab a 12-11 victory that answered the question of how they would respond to last week's 5-4 double-overtime loss at top-ranked Syracuse.
After Virginia's Rob Emery capped a 7-1 Virginia run that turned the 8-3 deficit into the 10-9 lead with 9:17 remaining, the Blue Jays turned to sophomore Lee Coppersmith, who completed his first career hat trick with a bullet that beat Virginia goalie Adam Ghitelman upstairs. The Cavaliers answered with an unassisted goal by junior Steele Stanwick 62 seconds after Coppersmith's strike, but that would be the last time Virginia would beat JHU goalie Pierce Bassett and the Blue Jays struck twice down the stretch off the creative play of freshman Rob Guida.
Guida needed less than a minute after Stanwick's goal to pull the Blue Jays even at 11 as he spun past a defender 10 yards from the goal and fired home a left-handed shot that beat Ghitelman.

NCAA Lacrosse: Denver Men's Lacrosse (6-2) Defeated Air Force 14-7 In ECAC Game On March 26
"Air Force is a tough team, but we came together in this one. When our defense failed our offense was there to pick them up. When our offense failed our defense was there," head coach Bill Tierney said. "We are starting to gel as a team, but we need to keep getting these ECAC wins."
University of Denver junior Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) and sophomore Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) had three goals apiece en route to the Pioneers' 14-7 victory over Air Force on Saturday afternoon in front of a sellout, standing-room only crowd of 2,100 at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium.
Denver jumped to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in the ECAC with its third win in a row. Air Force falls to 2-6 overall and 0-1 in the ECAC. The Pioneers are now 12-2 all-time against the Falcons in NCAA Division I.
Junior Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.) had three assists and two goals in the win. Senior Andrew Lay (Denver, Colo.) added two goals and an assist for the Pioneers. Carraro won 18-of-23 faceoffs and grabbed nine ground balls for Denver. Freshman Jamie Faus (Lakeville, Conn.) made nine saves in the win.

MCLA Lacrosse: #1 Michigan Men's Lacrosse (8-0) Dominates Visiting UC Santa Barbara 21-0 On March 26
The #1 ranked University of Michigan Men's Lacrosse team defeated #10 UC – Santa Barbara on Saturday night (March 26) in Ann Arbor at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse by the score of 21-0. In the Wolverines first shutout since 2008, senior attackman Trevor Yealy (Pittsburgh, PA – Upper St. Clair) [LEFT] was also big part of the story, netting six goals, and in the process, becoming Michigan's all-time leading goal-scorer.
Michigan kept the Gauchos on the run early winning the opening faceoff and moving the ball in the offensive zone. Four minutes in the quarter, senior defender Justin Burgin (Farmington Hills, MI – Catholic Central) fed Yealy on a clear before he netted a shot from just outside the crease to give Michigan the early 1-0 lead and tie the all-time Michigan goal record of 256, which was held by Jeff Hadwin who played from 1997 to 2001.
A minute later senior midfielder Roy Ichikawa (San Diego, CA – Torrey Pines) [RIGHT] finished a rebound on the crease for the 2-0 lead. As the home team continued to dominate on offense, junior midfielder Alex Vasileff (Birmingham, MI – Seaholm) took the right lane, shooting over his defender to beat the goalie on the far side for the early 3-0 advantage.
Four minutes later, following a Michigan penalty, Yealy scored on a wrap around tally on the man-down to break the record as the Wolverines continued their hot start. Another Yealy goal just 20 seconds later made it 5-0 before Vasileff fed sophomore attackman Ryan Dutton-O'Hara (Mt. Airy, MD./Urbana – St. Johns) for his lone tally of the night and the final goal of the first quarter.

NCAA Lacrosse: Cal Berkeley Women's Lacrosse (8-4) Dominates Villanova 11-2 On March 27 To Go 3-0 On Pennsylvania Road Trip
California scored the first 11 goals of the game en route to an 11-2 thrashing of Villanova on Sunday at Villanova Stadium. Megan Takacs (2 goals, 1 assist), Alexa Rozelle (2 goals, 1 assist) and Tara Arolla (1 goal, 2 assist) led the Golden Bears with three points each.
The Bears, who have won three straight, finished with a 3-1 record on their spring break road trip and an 8-4 record overall after whipping the Wildcats in the nonconference match. They now have a 3-0 advantage in the all-time series with Villanova, which dropped to 4-4 on the season.
"It was a great game from the beginning," Cal head coach Theresa Sherry said. "We did great on draw controls, the attack was in synch, the defense made great stops and we were causing turnovers all over the field. I was really happy with the entire team effort. It was really fun for everyone to watch today. It's good for us to end our trip on such a positive note."
This marks Cal's most lopsided win since its 20-11 drubbing of Saint Mary's in last season's MPS Tournament.
The Bears shut out Villanova, 9-0, in the first half, with Rozelle collecting the eventual game-winning goal with her eight-meter goal at 6:58 in the first half. Six different Bears scored in the first 30 minutes, with Rozelle, Takacs and sophomore midfielder Melissa Humphrey (2 goals) scoring all their goals before halftime. Freshman midfielder Paige Gasparino, junior midfielder Vail Horn and junior attacker Tara Arolla, who notched an eight-meter goal with one second left before halftime, also scored for the Bears.

NCAA Lacrosse: Stanford Women's Lacrosse (8-0) Defeats Louisville 16-12 On March 24 To Stay Unbeaten On Road Trip With Vanderbilt Next On Schedule
No. 7 Stanford improved to 8-0, defeating another quality opponent in Louisville, 16-12. The Cardinal handed the Cardinals their first loss of the season, while Stanford defeated its fourth Big East opponent of the year.
The loss was the first of the season for Louisville and makes Stanford just one of six remaining unbeaten teams in the nation.
"I am really happy with the team's performance against a good Louisville team," said head coach Amy Bokker. "Our offensive effort was again very diverse with many contributors. Annie Read was also very solid for us in goal today."
Louisville opened the scoring in the early moments of and the two teams went back and forth, sharing the lead for the early part of the game. Freshmen Rachel Ozer and Anna Kim scored Stanford's first two goals to give Stanford its first lead, but Louisville fought back to make it 3-2.
The Cardinal then scored three consecutive goals for a lead that it would not relinquish. Leslie Foard got on the board on the way to another multi-goal game, before Sarah Flynn scored her first of two and Nina Swanson capped the run with another goal from a freshman.
Louisville managed to keep it close in the first half, however, as only an Anna Boeri goal with five second remaining allowed Stanford to take a 7-5 lead at the half. Each team had 18 shots for the half with Read looking spectacular in net, making 10 of her 16 saves in the period.

MCLA Lacrosse: #3 Colorado State Men's Lacrosse Tops #2 Arizona State 6-5 In Tight Battle March 25
No one thought the final score of the game between the No. 2 and 3 lacrosse teams in the MCLA would be so low, but Friday night the Rams won a neck-and-neck battle with a 6-5 win over ASU.
ASU came out early and lead the first quarter, putting the team and the fans on edge with a 3-1 lead. It wasn't until the end of the first half that the Rams pulled into a one point lead. The surprisingly low score can be attributed to the defenses and goalies.
"Tonight Pat Sullivan, Tyler Zabor and Hayden Porter were just outstanding down low. Mark Moskovics matched up on one of the best middies in the country," Head Coach Alex Smith said. "All the credit to them for hanging in there and getting us the win."
In the fourth quarter the Rams were ahead 6-4 when ASU scored with four minutes left in the game. During those last minutes ASU was in control of the ball and circling the goal. The defense held them off until the clock hit 0:00 declaring the Rams the winners.

For the Love of Vintage Furniture
A broken spring on a sofa or chair is a very common problem. With no-sag (also called sinuous wire) springs, it is almost never the spring that is the issue, but the clip that holds the spring to the frame. Luckily, it's an easy problem to fix…that is, if you already have your sofa apart for reupholstery! It's certainly possible to fix this problem without having to take the whole sofa apart however.
First, I will show you how easy it is to fix when the frame is exposed.
You will need a new EK clip if the old one is broken, and three nails.
Nail the clip to the frame edge.
Slip the spring into the clip.
Use two nails to secure it. That's it!
If your sofa does not require reupholstery, and you just need to fix that spring, carefully take off the bottom liner, and nail the clip to the face of the frame like so:
It won't be as secure, but it should fix the immediate problem. But no more jumping on your sofa!
This is great and something I have seen broken many times. This info could really help save furniture that otherwise could be headed toward the end of it's lifespan!
thanks, very helpful… off to fix my couch now!

Game Description
Gears of War was revolutionary enough to earn multiple critics honors at E3 2006, and it's easy to see why. You're Marcus Fenix, a soldier with a face chiseled from granite and a will forged from iron. Lead your squad in humanity's desperate last stand against the Locust Horde, an endless swarm of horrifying creatures. You're completely outnumbered and outgunned in this third-person tactical action shooter. And you're the last chance we've got. Tactical maneuvers and teamwork are key, cover doesn't last, and fellow soldiers react with heightened AI. The brand-new Unreal Engine 3 powers Gears of War's cinematic experience, creating an environment realistic enough to walk into...if you've got the guts.

As a female gamer I prefer non-shooter style games, such as RPG's, and was extremely wary of playing this game. However based on the graphics (the "Mad World" preview) and the voice of John DiMaggio (Bender - Futurama) as Marcus Fenix, I decided to give the game a chance and was more than pleasantly...more

Police say they've charged Terrence Thomas and Travis Moss with drug trafficking.
Officers say they made the bust during a traffic stop late Saturday night on Highway 263. Police say they found about 17 and-a-half pounds of marijuana inside the car. Officers credit a police dog for finding what they say were 15 bags of pot, along with a pistol and $520 in cash.

Shifting Roles and Responsibilities to Support Mathematical Understanding
Pia Hansen and Donna Mathern
October 2008, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 162
The journey that one elementary school took in examining the roles and responsibilities of the principal, teachers, students, and school environment in supporting mathematical understanding as described by the NCTM Standards, where students are actively engaged in diverse thinking, questioning, and reasoning strategies. The increase in mathematical discourse was particularly helpful with English Language Learners and Special Education students. Classroom Look For Tool included, along with suggested strategies.

Here at Lovelyish, we're always looking for new ways to embrace the Xanga community and really get everybody involved. Since we love reading all the comments just as much as you do, we thought it would be a fun idea to take a little sneak peak into the lives of some of our favorite readers!
Wouldn't you like to know a little bit more about the person behind the avatar that's bringing us such great advice and opinions? We know we would!
So what better way to cure those Monday blues than a little Q & A with Meowmeowkimmaee!
Lovelyish: What's your real name, age (only if you feel up for sharing), and where are you from?
Meowmeowkimmaee: My name is Kim, and I'm from Sacramento, CA.
L: What do you do when you are not cruising through Lovelyish, reading posts and offering up advice?
M: I play and teach piano, blog, and chat with friends on AIM. I try to go to the gym or play tennis, and I enjoy classical music.
L: What are your favorite types of posts to read on Lovelyish?
M: Posts about new trends and affordable clothing, as well as recommendations for skincare and beauty products.
L: If you could change one thing about Lovelyish what would it be? And why?
M: I would eliminate the irrelevant posts about celebrity scandal and rumors. I even posted a Xanga Idea to clean up Lovelyish. If I want tabloid material, I can find it elsewhere. Oh, and those posts that list a certain # of things, like "10 Skankiest Girls in the Music Industry," to give a pseudo-example.
L: How would you describe your personal style?
M: I don't follow trends religiously. If a new trend is ugly to me, I won't wear it just for the sake of being trendy. I have a lot of basic items that I pair with more colorful items. My favorite clothing colors are blue and cream/off-white.
L: If you could only have 5 beauty products in your possession what would they be?
M: Moisturizer with SPF, beeswax lip balm, concealer, and... that's it!
L: Where are your favorite places to shop for clothes or makeup when you are looking for something special to splurge on? What about when you are on a bargain hunt?
M: Hmm... to be honest, I don't shop very often. But when I do, it's usually a very intense shopping spree! I usually frequent stores like American Eagle, Forever 21, and Wet Seal. Fashion District in LA is a great place to get the most bang for your buck. I bought 13 items and only spent $50 (including 2 dresses, 2 pairs of shoes, a vest, sunglasses, 2 belts, and more).
L: What is one fashion trend you wish people would never wear again?
M: Clothing with deliberately torn raggedy holes. I don't wear jeans with rips in them, and shirts with lots of tears aren't fashionable. I think they look like a bunch of cats went to town on them.
L: What fashion or beauty icon do you most look up to, or most try to emulate, and why?
M: I don't necessarily have a fashion role model that I look up to, but I do like the style of Leighton Meester. Her outfits are very well put together, and chic.
L: What is your most prized article of clothing and makeup?
M: This is a toughie! I guess one of my favorite items would be my burgundy red trench coat that I bought from H&M this past winter. It's double breasted, has a belt, and a pleated backside that looks sorta like a skirt when you spin in a circle and twirl.
L: What/Who is your guilty pop culture pleasure?
M: I don't feel guilty about it, but I occasionally like listening to Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry.
Thanks Kim (a.k.a. Meowmeowkimmaee) for indulging our curious minds! Happy Monday Lovelies!

Elizabeth- My daughter is grown and married now, but I used to tell her if she wanted something ( dance class, or clothes or another activity.) I would "contribute" to the item, but I expected her to pay part of it too. Then it was her decision if she wanted to spend the $$ for the item or the activity or not.
yes the Monarchs and also our bat population has suffered greatly.
Here's a question for all you parents of teens... At what point do they start to "get it" that you're not an ATM? My stepdaughter just got her first job, $8/hr at the grocery store, and yet she still turned around and asked me if I would mind paying for another dance class she wants to take. I said, "What's wrong with you using YOUR money to pay for YOUR activity?" She just gave me a blank look.
I'm at the point where I hope my kids don't have kids. I dread to see what the world will look like 50 years from now. You know what bugs me the most? The decline in monarch butterflies. When I was a kid, I lived in one of the migration corridors for monarchs, and we saw HUNDREDS of them each summer. ONe summer, we captured over a hundred in the course of several hours. We put them in between a window and a screen, and then in the evening we released them all at once. It was amazing to watch them fly off. I don't think I saw a single monarch all last year. Tiger swallowtails, yes, but no monarchs.
I worry for my children, and theirs. We tend to be so shortsighted *sigh*
How are you doing, muleman?
Well if the world is not convinced by now , the term Ostriches, and Heads in the sand, springs to mind!
Nope I think this winter proved that to them
Some folk think that Global Warming is a hoax -- Ha!
It's been almost springlike here too. I'm really hoping that this warm winter dosen't mean a HOT summer around here (hotter than usual thatis)

It's because of Cameron we now get "bad ass" FPS games based on the Alien franchise. Imagine if Aliens & Resurrection didn't exist, and video game developers would be creative for a change, we would get outstanding single player survival horror games based on both Scott's Alien & Fincher's Alienł where the played would need to solve environmental puzzles with multiple solutions to outsmart the creature all while attempting to resque your crewmembers/fellow prisoners.
Instead this is what we get. The equivalent of fastfood in video game form. Yay!

With some 60 cities participating in federal checkpoints, pushback from citizens and local police and sheriff's departments is increasing. In its defense, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in an e-mail:
Each year, close to 10,000 people die in drunk driving crashes: 27 people a day, or one person every 53 minutes, according to [our] data.
To better understand the issue, the agency has regularly conducted its National Roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drugged Driving in communities across the country for over 40 years. The survey provides useful data about alcohol and drug use by drivers, and participation is completely voluntary and anonymous. More than 60 communities across the country will participate this year, many of which participated in the previous survey in 2007.
NHTSA always works closely with state and local safety officials and local law enforcement to conduct these surveys as we work to better inform our efforts to reduce drunk and drugged driving.
This disclaimer neatly avoids any discussion of privacy or unreasonable searches and seizures prohibited under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. It also raises the question of what is "voluntary" and "anonymous." The NHTSA has contracted out the operation of these checkpoints to the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE), which in turn invites off-duty police officers and sheriffs and sheriff's deputies to help with the stops. According to USA Today, the officers flag down drivers who then are directed to park beside the road where they are questioned by PIRE employees about their driving habits. The drivers are then offered to give up cheek swabs and blood samples for cash ranging from $10 to $50.
But this is hardly "voluntary," noted Mary Catherine Roper, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Pennsylvania:
It looks like an exercise of official authority when a cop pulls you over. People assume it's mandatory, and of course you're going to stop. That's a constitutional problem right there.
Normally, police cannot pull you over unless they have a good reason for thinking you've done something wrong.
There's no exemption in the Constitution for conducting a survey.
The Constitutional "problem" Roper is referring to is the 1990 Supreme Court case Michigan Department of State Police v. Sitz, where a majority decided that such checkpoints and roadblocks were allowed under the Fourth Amendment, as a result of "balancing" interests in public safety by the police with concerns about individual protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Chief Justice William Rehnquist explained that there are three parts to the balancing act: 1) the state's interest in preventing accidents caused by drunk drivers; 2) the effectiveness of sobriety checkpoints in achieving that goal; and 3) the level of intrusion into a citizen's privacy caused by the checkpoints.
At no time did Rehnquist even raise the issue of the Fourth Amendment, but based his, and the court's, decision on practical matters of expediency and public safety. It took Justice William Brennan, writing for the three dissenters on the court to bring that up:
Once the Court establishes that the [stop] is "slight," it asserts without explanation that the balance "weighs" in favor of the state….
The [majority] ignores the fact that … we have generally required the Government to prove that it had reasonable suspicion for a minimally intrusive [stop] to be considered reasonable.
Some level of individualized suspicion is a core component of the protection the Fourth Amendment provides against arbitrary government action….
By holding that no level of suspicion is necessary before the police may stop a car for the purpose of preventing drunken driving, the Court potentially subjects the general public to arbitrary or harassing conduct by the police.
I would have hoped that before taking such a step, the Court would carefully explain how such a plan fits within our Constitutional framework.
The closer one looks at what the NHTSA has been doing all these years, the more troubling it appears. The NHTSA has no police power of its own. It has to "borrow" that from local police and sheriff "volunteers" who are approached with the offer of some off-duty pay to help with the surveys. Little did they know they would be the "cover" for the illegal roadside stops. Tom Neer is the sheriff of St. Charles County, Missouri, who authorized such off-duty opportunities for six of his employees. Explained Neer:
Our department coordinator got information from the contractor (PIRE), and came to me. I approve all overtime compliance with private entities. They wanted to know if we'd provide a couple of deputies just for security. [Emphasis added.]
