Here we are, another Ash Wednesday. This one comes so late, too. By this time last year Easter was clearly on the horizon, at the end of March. This year, we are just about to begin Lent.
Somehow, all I can think about is the dark of winter and Lent, and how light it will be starting next week. No, no, no… Something feels off about that.
It's me that is off if I am honest; I don't like change as much as I pretend to like it. Why can't Lent always start in early or mid-February? My pretty, shiny stone heart likes it better that way! Insert pouting face here.
Oh Ash Wednesday, you are upon us. Today work was full of the usual "Ashes will be distributed at masses at 9, 12, and 6:30pm." My goal is to avoid the church secretary's tongue twister that offers the potential for mixing up ASHES and MASSES. If the "sh" ends up with the m, then the Continue reading

Love These Discs!
Purchased the Aluminum discs to replace the black ones that came with the leather bound Circa notebook! I love the look and the ease of turning pages. Well worth the upgrade!
September 4, 2014
Wish I had purchased sooner!
WOW! Did not know what I was missing! Love these aluminum discs --- and wish I ad purchased the teal and red ones to go with the journals and sketchbooks I have. I finally got around to ordering them after reading a review that said the pages turned more smoothly with these than the plastic kind. LOVE them for the Smart agenda and eventually will replace all! Still hoping the COLORS will come back;-)
October 30, 2014
I purchased another set of aluminum discs as I loved how much easier the pages turn. I'm glad they are shiny as I think the dull or matte finish would not be as slick for the pages to turn on. I only wish I had purchased some additional when there were more colors available.
July 31, 2014
Love them!
These aluminum discs are great! They make it so easy to turn the pages, I just wish I could get them in red in the 3/4 inch.

Circa Products
Circa products are the best! They help me organize my work,and I can stay up-to-date by easily remvoing and replacing pages when necessary. People always comment on how neat my office is when they come to visit. They see tons of notebooks, and they all are neatly arranged in the bookcase. In addition, they are colorful. The color coding helps me stay organized, too. When I was writing textbooks, each co-author had his/her set of chapters in circa notebooks. We could add and subtract chapters as needed. Works great! I highly recommend Circa systems.

Good Quality... But not what I expected
I was expecting brushed aluminum and these are pretty shiny and not really what I was expecting. As I use my notebook everyday and for everything, it gets used. I think brushed aluminum would look a lot better. I am fearful that it will get scratched and look bad, this is why I moved away from the plastic discs. If you looking for shiny and not brushed, you will be happy with these.
February 16, 2014
If only they came in more colors...
As other reviewers have noted, pages do seem to slide across these dics more smoothly than they do on plastic discs. Notebooks somehow also seem more substantial when these dics are used. I will admit, however, that function was not what drew me to these dicsc - it was the colors! I have them in silver, teal, emerald, lavender, bluish-purple and gold. I'm heartbroken that Levenger's appears to be discontinuing this products in colors. Even though I think they are over-priced, color is my weakness. A utilitarian object like a notebook can be a thing of pleasure when it includes a simple splash of color and a beautiful leather cover!
January 11, 2014
Far Outshines Basic Discs
I am so in love with these aluminum circa discs, which I got in the gorgeous teal color! I am using them as replacements for the standard discs that came with my letter sized book cloth notebook (the discs which I found disappointing in quality). Circa punched pages glide effortlessly on these aluminum discs, making for a much more enjoyable note taking experience. I can't wait to order more of these for my other notebooks!
November 16, 2013
If you love your circa notebook, worth the splurge
I have 25+ circa notebooks w a variety of disc colors & brands (make my own plastic covers with the circa leverage punch). These aluminum ones are my favorites. I have them in teal, garnet, and a few colors not available currently, like gold, silver, icy blue). Truly a pleasure to use (smoothest page turning of any brand, better even than Levenger's resin ones). Look sharp/classy, lightweight, and durable. Any of the colors would look great on a black or clear notebook. Teal is a little harder to find a cover colors that matche. An outrageously expensive luxury (try to get on sale), but like all Levenger discs, quality is stellar and you *will* notice the difference
July 30, 2013
great upgrade
The Levenger notebooks, now at over $100, look exactly like the arc notebooks from Staples for $20. They share a leather cover and cheap nasty plastic rings. These premium rings are a HUGE upgrade and should be standard on the notebooks. Do yourself a favor and immediately get rid of the plastic rings and switch to these. You will not be disappointed. Price is ridiculous for something that should be standard, but they are worth it.

Critical Infrastructure Protection:
Improving Information Sharing with Infrastructure Sectors
GAO-04-780: Published: Jul 9, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 27, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3317
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) activities called for in federal policy and law are intended to enhance the security of the public and private infrastructures that are essential to our nation's security, economic security, and public health and safety. Effective information-sharing partnerships between industry sectors and government can contribute to CIP efforts. Federal policy has encouraged the voluntary creation of information sharing and analysis centers (ISAC) to facilitate infrastructure sector participation in CIP information sharing efforts. GAO was asked to identify actions that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could take to improve the effectiveness of CIP information-sharing efforts.
Federal awareness of the importance of securing the nation's critical infrastructures--and the federal government's strategy to encourage cooperative efforts among state and local governments and the private sector to protect these infrastructures--have been evolving since the mid-1990s. Federal policy continues to emphasize the importance of the ISACs and their information-sharing functions. In addition, federal policy established specific responsibilities for DHS and other federal agencies involved with the CIP sectors. The ISACs have identified challenges requiring further federal action, including building trusted relationships; developing processes to facilitate information sharing; overcoming barriers to information sharing; clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the various government and private-sector entities that are involved in protecting critical infrastructures; and funding ISAC operations and activities. A lthough DHS has taken a number of actions to implement the public/private partnership called for by federal CIP policy, it has not yet developed a plan that describes how it will carry out its information-sharing responsibilities and relationships. Such a plan could encourage improved information sharing among the ISACs, other CIP entities, and the department by clarifying the roles and responsibilities of all the entities involved and clearly articulating actions to address the challenges that remain. DHS officials indicated that they intend to develop an information-sharing plan, but no specific time frame for completing the plan has been established. The department also lacks policies and procedures to ensure effective coordination and sharing of ISAC-provided information among the appropriate components within the department. Developing policies and procedures would help ensure that information is effectively and efficiently shared among its components and with other government and private-sector CIP entities.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In the 2006 National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), DHS outlined a clear description of the roles and responsibilities of the Department, the information sharing and analysis centers, the sector coordinators, and the sector-specific agencies and actions designed to address information-sharing challenges. Specifically, the NIPP detailed DHS' network approach to information sharing. The new method provides DHS with the ability to share information with government and private sector security partners both vertically and horizontally, as well as enhanced capability for decentralized decision-making and actions. The primary objective of the new approach to information sharing is to enhance situational awareness and maximize the ability of security partners at all levels to assess risks and execute risk-mitigation programs and activities. Under the network approach DHS' Network Operations Center (NOC), serves as the Nation's hub for domestic incident management operational coordination and situational awareness. The NOC is a standing 24/7 interagency organization fusing law enforcement, national intelligence, emergency response, and private sector reporting. The NOC facilitates homeland security information-sharing and operational coordination among DHS and the ISACs, the sector coordinators, and the sector-specific agencies and actions designed to address information-sharing challenges.
Recommendation: To help improve the effectiveness of DHS's information-sharing efforts with the ISACs and others, the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct officials within the Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP) Directorate to proceed with and establish milestones for the development of an information-sharing plan that includes (1) a clear description of the roles and responsibilities of DHS, the ISACs, the sector coordinators, and the sector-specific agencies and (2) actions designed to address information-sharing challenges. Efforts to develop this plan should include soliciting feedback from the ISACs, sector coordinators, and sector-specific agencies to help ensure that challenges identified by the ISACs and the ISAC Council are appropriately considered in the final plan.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security: Directorate of Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Consistent with our recommendation, DHS developed two policies for interacting with ISACs, sector coordinators, and sector-specific agencies and for coordination and information sharing within directorates and other DHS components that may interact with the ISACs, including TSA. The first policy, which was issued in February 2007, called for all DHS components to provide department directorates responsible for information analysis and infrastructure protection access to all potential terrorism, homeland security, law enforcement, and related information, including foreign intelligence information. Likewise, the policy also called for the directorates to share their potential terrorism and related information with the components. The second policy, which was issued in March 2007 and is referred to as the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR) Information Sharing Environment policy, specified how DHS would share information with the critical infrastructure sectors. It stated that the National Infrastructure Coordination Center (NICC) would provide a centralized mechanism and processes for coordination and delivery of information between the government and the CI/KR sectors, ISACs, sector coordinators, and sector-specific agencies. The policy also stated that the NICC would serve as a DHS focal point for CI/KR suspicious activity, incident and status reporting. These policies should help DHS strengthen its information sharing within the department and between the department and the critical infrastructure sectors.
Recommendation: To help improve the effectiveness of DHS's information-sharing efforts with the ISACs and others, the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct officials within the IAIP Directorate to, considering the roles, responsibilities, and actions established in the information-sharing plan, develop appropriate DHS policies and procedures for interacting with ISACs, sector coordinators, and sector-specific agencies and for coordination and information sharing within the IAIP Directorate (such as the National Cyber Security Division and Infrastructure Coordination Division) and other DHS components that may interact with the ISACs, including TSA.

There are a wide variety of nodules or lumps of the neck. We often group these growths by their location. While many lumps are simply lymph nodes, which come and go, growths near the "Adam's apple" merit special attention. Lumps in the front/center of the neck are most likely related to the thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone ,which is a chemical that influences a wide range of the body's functions such as digestion, heart rate, mood, appetite, temperature, and growth. Younger children tend to have a congenital remnant called a thyroglossal duct cyst. During fetal development, the thyroid gland originates from the base of the tongue and then descends down the front of the neck to its eventual home just below the "Adam's apple." These cysts often get infected because they maintain a connection to the throat allowing bacteria to enter. If infected, we treat these initially with antibiotics and then perform a surgery to remove the cyst and its connection. The procedure is typically performed as a day surgery.
Actual thyroid nodules are increasing in number with an estimate around 1% of children developing an abnormal thyroid growth. These can vary from not at all threatening to cancerous (malignant). Firm, solid nodules that grow over time tend to be more concerning; but regardless of how they feel, these lumps should be evaluated by your physician. Sometimes the nodules cause an overactive thyroid gland which can lead to symptoms such as: feeling warmer than others, rapid or irregular pulse, anxiety/nervousness, insomnia, tremor, weight loss. Other times the nodule due to its size may cause symptoms such as pain, hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing.
Evaluation of these nodules includes ...

Ruiz-Quintanilla Presents at 10th Annual North American Collaborating Center Conference on ICF in Nova Scotia, Canada
S. Antonio Ruiz-Quintanilla, senior research associate in the Employment and Disability Institute, gave a presentation entitled An International Classification of Function (ICF)-based Tool to Identify Services and Supports Needs for Inmates with Developmental Disabilities at the 10th Annual North American Collaborating Center Conference on ICF held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 1-4, 2004.
The conference was organized by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) as members of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for the Family of International Classifications for North America.
This meeting focused on developing a comprehensive North American research agenda for ICF. This is needed because the ICF is a new and multi-dimensional classification, encompassing both a medical and a social model of disability, and has not been used extensively in its current structure. The ICF is intended to have a number of applications as a statistical tool, a research tool, a clinical tool, a social policy tool, and as an educational tool. A research plan for each of these areas must be specified. Furthermore, the ICF was developed in an environment which already has widely used assessment tools and longstanding disability policies so it must be considered vis-a-vis other clinical tools and health policies.

HOUSE TOUR: An Unbelievably Beautiful 'Backwoods Versailles' Estate
Even when he heads to the woods in upstate New York, consummate dealer and collector Benoist Drut of Maison Gerard never lacks for suitably stylish surroundings
By Celia Barbour
Great Room
Beavers are unreliable. Who knew? Not Benoist Drut, who fell in love with a 35-acre parcel of land in part because it featured an idyllic little pond, beside which he planned to build a weekend house. Shortly after purchasing the property, Drut drove the two hours from New York City only to discover that "the busy beavers," as he calls them, had completely disappearedalong with the pond formed by their dam.
In the great room of Benoist Druts weekend house in New Yorks Sullivan County, a porcelain piece by Jean Girel sits atop a circa-1960 French lacquer desk, the antlered wall sculpture is by Michael Combs, and the Jugendstil birch dining table is Swedish; the walls and bookshelves are painted in Sherwin-Williams Emerald in Iron Ore.

Original post from The Cheap Vegetable Gardener.
There was a discussion in comments on my previous average last frost post on how to determine an accurate last frost. A great point was made by Daphne where every garden can have its own microclimate so the date you find online or in a book could be many weeks off for your microclimate in neighborhood.
To be able to predict your last frost date accurately it takes some history, if you have lived in your current residence and happened been capturing your temperature data accurately by memory or paper you may the information to predict your last frost date.
For people that are relatively new to their residence, like myself, I felt there I had very little information to determine an accurate prediction of my last frost date. This was until I remembered Weather Underground which logs results of schools or private individual that register their weather stations.

Orange Waffles
(3 servings) Printable Version
Dissolve yeast in warm orange juice and let sit for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir well for several minutes. Let batter rest covered, in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Heat waffle iron, pour in the appropriate amount of batter for your specific model, and spread to the edges of the waffle iron. Close and cook until gently browned.
These waffles use both orange juice and grated orange rind to get their orange flavor. They use whole wheat pastry flour, so also expect a natural, earthy flavor.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank kla163 for this recipe.

What do you think of Orange Waffles?
From Denise M.
Overall Average Rating =(out of 5)
Based on 2 votes.
I thought the orange flavor was just right. Since they're orange waffles they should have lots of orange flavor. I actually used drizzles of honey as a topping and they were great. Would make again.
Comment submitted: 5/31/2013 (#15978)
From ninthdegree
The orange flavor is a little overwhelming. Next time I would use 1/2 the orange juice and 1/2 of the grated orange rind, increase milk by 1/2 cup and maybe add a tablespoon of honey. Good but not super great.

Independence Day Race
Sunday, July 4th marked the date of the 20th annual Independence Day race held at Tradewinds Park, in Coconut Creek, Florida. The race was put on by Multirace.com and was part of the Publix Fitness Family Weekend series of triathlons and duathlons.
Sprint Race Distance
The Independence Day race could be done as either a sprint triathlon, or a sprint duathlon. I am not into swimming, so I chose the duathlon race. Due to confusion, at some of the previous Tradewinds Park races during the run portion of the race, the run course was slightly altered. It used to be a 1 mile run, at the beginning of the duathlon, with a 2 1/2 mile run at the end for both triathletes and duathletes. The course has been changed to a half mile run, at the beginning of the duathlon, with a 3 mile run at the end for both triathletes and duathletes.
There still seemed to be a bit of confusion, as the longer run meant racers had to do two 1.5 mile run laps for a total of 3 miles. I was standing near the finish line, after I completed the race, when I felt someone grabbing my arm. A girl was confused as to where to go to complete her second run lap. As I was pointing out where she was supposed to go a spectator walked her over to where she was supposed to be running. YIKES!
This is the only photo of me on the bike at the race. I like the upper arm definition, those twice a week weight lifting, core work sessions with my personal trainer are starting to show results.
Sprint Triathlon
- 400 meter swim

Run Diva's Race Results
There were 15 girl's signed up in the 45-49 year old age group. That's a lot more competition than I normally see at these local duathlon races. I was worried that I wouldn't receive an award, age groups are awarded five deep. But I ended up getting 4th place in my age group.
One girl must have not shown up for the race, because there were only 14 girls in my age group on race day, and 2 of the girls placed in the Master's category, leaving 12 girl's in my age group. So 4th out of 12 is pretty cool. My daughter says I didn't have a good race, I usually place 1st or 2nd in my age group, and every so often I manage to place in the Master's category. So a 4th place medal wasn't impressing my 14 year old daughter, got to love kids!

Kaepernick's game against Green Bay was not perfect. He threw an interception returned for a touchdown on the fourth play of the game, had a taunting penalty for throwing the ball down in the face of Packers defenders and often had problems getting the offence out of the huddle quickly.

Having second thoughts about your short crop? Take a tip from Jessica Alba, Chloe Moretz, Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, who transformed their short and shoulder-length hair into long layers overnight with the help of some last-minute extensions. At the press conference for the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards, Bieber's BFF rocked a wavy chin-length cut, which turned into a lush, long ponytail in time for the awards show the very next day.

Reading ListStudents in LST, whether beginning, advanced, or graduating, often ask us for a reading list for the summer. We thought we would give you a few ideas to start with. Look up these titles and read the ones that interest you. We do not expect you to have read and studied these books prior to becoming a major in LST or in order to do well in our classes! This list is JUST FOR FUN, for those who find reading to be a pleasure. We have attempted not to include books we routinely teach in our courses. However, some of these will appear on our syllabi from time to time. These are not in any order at all.
Ifyou purchase books from this list from Amazon using the links below, LST will earn a portion of the proceeds! It's a great way to support the program while building your LST library.
Ifyou have a suggestion of a book you would like to see added to the list, please send it along to Ben Pryor . Next: The LST Movie List!

Here's a bit of insight: Professors should also be teachers, colleges should make teaching a priority, teaching skills should be rewarded.
You know what they say about should... Still it's a clean, simple, low tech solution a major problem in the college classroom.
Michelle Allwright's curator insight, August 20, 5:11 PM
Interactive, engaging and the learning around core skills is where it is heading. It's about ensuring that the students are industry ready; not just theory ready.
Jim Goldsmith's curator insight, August 20, 8:18 PM
A number of good points made about priorities in higher education; also, some intelligent disussion in the comment sections from (mostly) learning peers.
Society for College and University Planning (SCUP)'s curator insight, August 6, 4:29 PM
And: "Nearly six out of 10 don't survey academic or research staff on IT needs; and more than six out of 10 lack a catalog of IT services. Perhaps that's why 57 percent of end users view IT as the 'fix it' folks and just 22 percent say IT is considered a 'trusted ally.'"

Here's an online learning activity that will engage and energize your students. It would be a great back to school project. Skype in the Classroom will help you connect with other tech using teachers for a game based exchanged.
National and international connections are waiting to be made.
Jump in and have some fun.

Interesting graphs. Insight is where you find it.
NancyEvans@ATS-LU's curator insight, August 12, 6:04 PM
This is not surprising. Apps come and go for young users of social media. Snapchat is up and coming, Facebook is fading. Maybe it's oldsters who keep the old apps and social media going. But texting is just simple, clean, easy. Promotion coming: If you or someone you know is going overseas, use WhatsApp - free texting on your phone for 1 year (.99 thereafter) without an international plan.
Helen Teague's curator insight, August 3, 9:36 AM
Do students retain more information when they read from books rather than from digital devices? Does reading online present challenges due to distractions? Do students need to be taught skills to become better online readers?
Ruby Day's curator insight, August 3, 5:21 PM
Studies show we are not reading as effectively online as we are with hard copies. This highlights the need for tools to help us read deeper online - e.g annotation type tools. This links to an interesting stuy of year 5 students using collaborative annotation software demonstrating higher performance than the control group's' paper based annotation.

Best Ever Sugar Cookie
Thanks to Deanna Sletten for this recipe. I have used it and love it! Check back later for a printable version of it.
Best Christmas Sugar Cookies Ever
By Deanna Lynn Sletten
If you've been searching for the best sugar cookie recipe to bake for your holiday gifts and parties then your search is over. This sugar cookie recipe produces the fluffiest, tastiest and easiest to decorate cookies you've ever made. You will never go back to your old recipe again. This recipe has been passed down in our family since the early 1900's. Back then no woman worth her salt used measuring cups or teaspoons to make a recipe, she did a pinch of this and a handful of that. This recipe has been translated down through the years into cups and teaspoons for those of us who need to be exact but it has kept its charm and flavor. It works great for any holiday cookie that is either decorated or plain. You could even make plain, round cookies any time of year to enjoy their great taste. This recipe makes approximately 4-6 dozen cookies depending upon the size of the cookie cutters. There are a few tricks so be sure to follow the recipe and directions carefully so you can enjoy the best sugar cookies ever.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Use the middle rack of your oven for baking. 1 cup shortening (Butter flavored shortening tastes best. Don't use real butter or margarine because it makes the cookies too crispy.)
2 cups sugar
(Cream together until smooth)
3 eggs¼ cup milk
(The trick to not overdoing on liquid is to break the 3 eggs into a measuring cup and then add milk until you reach the 1 cup line.)
2 Tsp. Vanilla
Now, beat the milk/egg/vanilla mixture into the sugar and shortening mixture with an electric hand blender or a whisk. Make sure to beat until smooth. This step is how you get a fluffier cookie.
Next, using a medium to large hand sifter mix together:
2 cups flour (You will use 4-6 cups flour in all but do not add all at once.)
2 Tsp. baking powder
2/3 Tsp. baking soda
1 Tsp. salt
¾ Tsp. nutmeg Now you can sift dry ingredients into the liquid ingredients. Sifting is very important; it mixes the ingredients while making the flour light and fluffy. Hand-mix the flour into the batter until it is well-blended. Next you will add 1 sifted cup of flour at a time until the batter turns to dough. As it becomes too stiff to stir you can begin to knead in the flour with your hands. Do not use more flour than necessary. Too much flour will dry out your cookies. If you are not sure, only add ¼ to ½ cup flour at a time until the dough feels firm but moist. It should be firm enough to roll out without sticking but moist enough so your dough doesn't crack when rolling.
Once the dough is ready it is best to use it right away. Don't store it for a few hours or put it in the refrigerator. This will dry out the dough and the cookies will not turn out as nice.
Spread a thin layer of flour out onto the surface you will be rolling your dough on.
Take a handful of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands then flatten it onto the floured surface.
Spread a thin layer of flour on the top of the dough and then flip it and begin to roll out the dough in short, smooth movements. You want to slowly roll the dough in all directions until it is a little less than ¼ inch thick. Don't roll the dough too thin or you will have flat cookies. It's better to have it too thick than too thin. Now you are ready to cut the dough.
Try dipping the cookie cutters in a bowl of sugar instead of flour when you are cutting the cookies out. Sugar will keep the cutters from sticking while adding a little flavor.
Place cookies on a cookie sheet. If you are not using a non-stick cookie sheet you should use a light touch of non-stick spray on the sheet. Butter or shortening is too heavy and can cause the cookies to burn.
If you plan to decorate the cookies then you don't need to sprinkle them with sugar. If you are leaving them plain then you can add a light sprinkle of sugar on top.
Bake cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes. This will differ depending upon the size of the cut. The finished cookie should look puffy and dry without having brown edges. Cool cookies on a wire rack and then they are ready to decorate or enjoy.
It may take you a try or two to get the feel for the perfect dough but once you do you will always have the best sugar cookies to share with friends and family at Christmas or anytime.

Hi! Sure hope the recipe card is like the picture by the post. I am going to try this recipe as we are having a cookie exchange this year. Are you selling the Cookie Exchange e-book again this year?
Comment by Sheila May — November 16, 2007 @ 4:44 pm
I can't wait to try this recipe! I do have a question though. Can I line my baking sheet with parchment paper? I've been doing this for a few years and I'm really happy with the results.
Thanks, Miranda
Comment by Miranda — November 19, 2007 @ 3:40 pm
I finally tried these cookies. They were well worth the effort. I don't normally try recipes that sound this complicated. Once I got started I realized that it was not as hard as it looked.

Teen Wolf Review: Kids In The Hallby Dan Forcella at . Comments
In what was only the first episode of the back half of the season, "Night School" had all of the suspense and excitement of a season finale.
Thanks in part to the bottle episode-like atmosphere, there was action aplenty, as almost the entire hour took place inside the school that Scott, Stiles and company call home on a daily basis. Viewers were treated to crazy scare that a gigantic alpha wolf can give you as it attempts to hunt down a group of kids in the aforementioned school.
The suspense was surely potent, but very much in the style of any modern horror movie. Every step around the corner for Scott and the gang was another opportunity to lock themselves in a mini death trap just so that the alpha could find them and scare them into escaping to another locked pit of doom.
It was extremely predictable that way, but I still enjoyed it. Every time the alpha came closer and closer, I tried to hide my eyes... but ended up reluctantly watching him pass on hurting any of the Beacon Hills students.
This was the interesting development from "Night School." Thanks to the explanation from Scott, we learned that the alpha doesn't want to kill Scott or any of his friends. Instead, he wants the Teen Wolf to join his pack. To do so, again regurgitated by Scott to the audience, the alpha wants Scott to kill his old pack; aka Allison, Jackson, Lydia, and Stiles!
Say it ain't so, Scott! Not my man, Stiles. It's bad enough that it seems like Derek Hale is gone (still up for debate whether he's actually dead), you can't take away Stiles just because the alpha wolf's powers force you to want to kill your friends.
Speaking of Hale, how dare Scott throw him under the bus like that! Just when I couldn't be angrier with the young wolf, he goes and tarnishes the name of the stud that is Derek Hale. Seriously, though, in that moment when all of his friends were staring him in the face, waiting for an answer, shouldn't he have come clean with the truth?
Were they not ready for it? They seemed to be prepared to hear anything at that point. Scared for their lives, Allison, Lydia, and especially Jackson were going to believe the werewolves' bit. And if Allison didn't believe it, then her father and aunt have done an even better job at hiding their occupation than I originally thought.
And about dear, sweet Allison. I loved her decision to tell Scott "don't call," especially after watching her and Jackson have such a nice moment earlier in the episode. Was Jax sincerely concerned for Allison's well being? Maybe not, but I'd take him over Scott any day. Anyone up to join my new Jallison fan club?
Jackson, while attempting to steal Allison - even though he currently dates Lydi - continues to have some strange stuff going on with him. The only new information we learned about his condition is that when the alpha turned Scott into a wolf, he seemed to have a similar control over Jackson. That is a story I can't wait to see pan out.
So as we continue to head down the second half of this first season of Teen Wolf, Scott has to attempt to stop himself from killing his best friends while under the influence of the alpha wolf. Sounds easy enough, right?

Derek is controlling Jackson and sent the text. But the alpha is the teacher. Only a school staff member would've known the stairs lead upstairs. His boss is very fishy but I think he is just full of anxiety. Definitely the teacher now as alpha. Also during conferences he was talking about Scott not having a man around. Like that he's filling the spot by biting h and bringing him into his pack.
im so mad that Scott and Allison broke up.. and Jackson is getting on my last nerves,he stole Allison from Scott.. that made me mad, i hope she comes to terms and say she "wants to get back together" cause i love them together ..and i believe that Derek isnt dead, he's still alive for sure
I think that Derek is still alive, firstly. He is probably controlling Jackson, too, after "clawing" him on the neck. He's most likely the one to send Allison the text because that way all of Scott's old pack would come to the school and I think Derek is being selfish - he is controlling Jackson to hit on Allison (which had some impact in her breaking up with Scott too)and wants Scott to kill all of his friends so that way he will join the Alpha's pack. Maybe Derek thinks it will be easier to go after the Alpha after Scott would have already joined forces with it or something like that. But it definitely seems Jackson is acting with Derek's interests in mind and not his own.
officially hated scott when he threw Derek under the bus. So pissed off because now the poilce are gonna be after him and he wont have anyone to help him... then again the vet would have probably called the cops on Derek anyways. Oh and how did he manage to escape? possible Alpha for sure now
Scott screwed himself over by throwing Derek under the bus. There was no reason to assume he was dead, hurt badly but not dead. He already had Derek thrown in jail because he thought he killed his sister. Not only did Scott put him on the hunters radar, now he is on all of the cops radar as well. He just made it more difficult for himself since Derek was still trying to teach Scott how to control his abilities. They don't exactly meet up in the middle of the day in front of everyone, but now if Scott is seen with him it puts himself on everybody's radar. Also Stiles needs to realize that Derek teaching Scott is a good thing and he should stop acting like a jealous girlfriend. He also just put himself on the hunters radar because next episode Allison tells her aunt about how Scott and Derek are kind of friends.
I swear I will stop watching the show if Derek is dead! Stiles makes me laugh but its not enough to keep me there - Derek mesmerizes me!
I wouldn't watch this show at all if it weren't for Stiles. I heart him. I also liked Derek...if he's still alive I'll feel better about this show.
great review,this show just get,s better and better,Can,t wait untill next week,Do hope derek comes back....
I think the alpha has compelle Scott, to where he cant say who it is or anything bad about him. In other words he CANT turn against the Alpha. That is the only explination I can come up with because if he is doing this on his own he is just stupid. And I like Scott so I am going to believe he is being compelled into silence by the Alpha. As far as Jackson goes, I cant stand him and I agree that he is ONLY interested in Allison because of his agenda against Scott. It is all about Scott and i think it is going to get real interesting. I hope Allison forgives Scott and soon. And I really hope Scott is able to fix what he has done to Derek.

In all those years of elections, after the nominations were signed and accepted by the elections office, I have never had anything like the telephone call I have had from a lady who signed the nomination papers of our UKIP by-election candidate, Melvin Ward, who is standing in the Birmingham Lozells and Handsworth ward.
This lady, who I approached while pounding the streets getting the ten required signatures, telephoned our UKIP office in Birmingham and seemed quite concerned. It seems that the Labour Party agent had written a letter to her asking if she had signed Melvin's nomination papers. It looks like the Labour Party are now so desperate and obviously concerned that they may lose one of their safest wards in Birmingham they are having to resort to the dirty trick of trying to get their opponents knocked out on some sort of technicality.
It took me four long hours wandering around the area knocking on doors, chatting to people in their gardens, getting a lot of refusals, although everyone was polite and quite friendly despite the fact they did not want to sign – which was fine by me. However, if the Labour Party wanted to have a chat with me I could have told them in an instant that all is above board and that the elections office were content too. In fact, it's a wonder the Labour Party has time to go around pestering people who have the freedom to sign the nomination papers of those they wish to support – I thought they would be far too busy sorting out their fiddled expenses!

It's quite something when Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party takes note of one of your comments. This happened to me a few weeks ago when at a UKIP elections meeting in London a group of us were discussing some of the media's negative outpourings about UKIP. I mentioned about being invited to do a debate on Matthew Revell's Politics on the Show Wolverhampton Community Radio and how my Lib Dim opponent came out with this nonsense that UKIP was in a state of collapse, I referred to Mark Twain's famous quote: "News of UKIP's demise has been greatly exagerated." Nigel seemed to like that comment.
When the powers that be, which maybe the pro-EU BBC, the left leaning press, or the Tory supporting Daily Telegraph all latch on to something they can use to undermine their common enemy, UKIP, they all pile in with the same old tosh irrespective of facts or any hint that one of their hacks has actually sat down and done a bit of research to verify what they are talking about. If they had done their job then they would have had the old journalistic problem of letting the truth get in the way of a good story. UKIP is far from finished and its teams of activists are working flat out for a good result on June 4th.
Some more of this tosh appeared on the letters page of the Daily Torygraph today (8th May, 2009), a certain Dr Spencer Fitz-Gibbon responded to comments about how to ensure the less than savoury BNP does not get any of its henchmen elected. He points out that in the North West the eighth seat will go to one of the smaller parties and then stated: "UKIP has largely collapsed" – how does he know any of this as it is a different message to those of us within UKIP? He then goes on to promote the wishy-washy pointless Green Party as the way to stop BNP. No, the way to stop the BNP, the way to stop any further erosion of our sovereignty and Parliamentary democracy is to vote for Britain's third largest political party in these elections, which is UKIP. What twerps such as this are doing by repeating this negative mantra is actually helping to promote the BNP - which will not do well anyway.
Lets look at the facts, UKIP put out its first election broadcast last night which has gone down extremely well. Nigel Farage,
On June 4th just go out and vote UKIP wherever you are in the country and put paid, once and for all, to the nonsense – and the EU.

During World War Two the people of Britain were forced to carry identity cards due to the national emergency of being at war. The reason being was that it was presumed only those who had a right to be here in the UK would be issued with an I.D. card, whilst 'fifth columnist' and Nazi stormtroopers who may happen to drop in by parachute would not have such a document. I suppose there was a simple logic in that argument, also that any forgeries would be easily spotted, which considering the complexity of some of the documents successfully forged in prison camps across Europe by our own POW's soon puts paid to that argument.
Although the authorities seemed to be keen on the keeping of compulsory I.D. cards after the war, they were not really popular and eventually the ruling was challenged in the courts and the old paper I.D. cards, which by then contained a great deal more information than when they were first introduced, died a death and no free British subject mourned their passing. In fact the removal of I.D. cards and rationing meant a return to normality for most and the war years were put behind us as the country in those days had a future to build.
Now, sixty or so years later, I.D. cards are back, or our control freak Government would like them to be back. The difference with now and then is that modern I.D. cards will be far more sinister and will allow the state to pry, monitor and even control our lives. What will be seen as a simply little bit of plastic with a chip, will be able to store masses of data upon each and everyone of us, data I add that will be available to private companies for a price, and to many others too. This will be data that given the track record of our Government offices will be far from secure and certain people will be able to obtain without our consent or knowledge – it will be data that many of us would not want in the public domain.
Although a certain number of gullible people think that I.D. cards will be a panacea against crime, fraud, terrorism and a hundred and one other problems, in fact I.D. cards will not tackle or stop anyone of those problems. In some cases they will create problems.
Those who lose their I.D. cards will be in for such a nightmare time that neither Kafka or Orwell would have been able to imagine – and the fiscal cost will be painful too. Then there will be people who will find that their I.D. card will not allow them to have a book from the library if the state suddenly deems them a risk. What too to those who will, without a shadow of a doubt, have their I.D's stolen? Impossible? No, look at credit cards when the chip and pin first came out, there was never going to be any more credit card fraud – fat chance, credit card fraud thanks to chip and pin is doing very nicely thank you.
So, some poor sap will have their I.D. stolen and the next thing they know they will be arrested and asked to explain themselves, and whatever they say the authorities will probably not believe them as their stolen I.D's will be saying something else. Innocence until proven guilty will be well and truly dead to be replaced guilty by I.D. card irrespective of the fact it has been cloned. In fact the only people who are going to do well out of I.D. cards will be the state as it will be another tax income, the multinationals who will be awarded the highly lucrative contracts to administer them, and of course, a vast army of criminals who will find their forged, cloned and stolen I.D. cards will give them the credibility they currently do not have.
The only thing one can identify from the introduction of I.D. cards is a major problem for each and everyone of us – when introduced we will kiss our once cherished freedom goodbye.

Imagine, if you will, a young woman in her late twenties, on the road with her child. This woman is on her way to work and is barely half way their. She's not on the highway, but she is on the edge of town. She's trying to think of a way to juggle her kid and her job as she drives while her little babe sleeps soundly.
It's in the early morning hours around 7:00 A. M. or so and she's starts feeling her morning hunger. She knows her babe will wake up soon, but hopes she can get there on time before he does wake. She gets just over half way there and POP!! A tire went out as now her car is scraping the road.
She pulls to the side and controls her emotions for a minute or so before she can think way out of this predicament. She knows she has no spare and knows nobody that could come get her. She whips out her phone and looks for a good towing service.
It took less than five seconds for phone to show towingstar.com on the top of the page. She looks at the site for a number to quickly call not caring or noticing she only has her credit card on her. She starts calling and a voice answers. "Hello, this is Beth. May I ask what your name and situation is?"
They have a brief conversation and Beth closes the conversation with, "I'm glad to hear that towingstar.com was the first to pop up. I hope all will be well. Have a nice day mam." The woman felt grateful knowing someone was shortly on their way.
Just as the website had promised, a man in a towing truck came by less than 30 minutes after her call. He got out and looked at her with an apathetic grin and told her no worries. He dismantled the tire for her car and put a new one on in just a few short minutes. He even gave her a spare for next time and gave her instructions on how to do it herself.
He felt accomplished and asked if he could do her any other service. She looks to notice she has no cash on hand.
The man, with a sincere reply says, " There's no need to worry. We'll take care of it later. Just get yourself to work safely please." With that she drove off grateful for the quick and helpful service he had to offer.

<<< Watch Dr. Kim explain Symptoms and Solutions for Neck Pain
Neck pain, is medically referred to as cervicalgia. It can be described as any discomfort that produces pain ranging from the base of the skull through the upper portion of the shoulders. Neck pain may be characterized by tenderness, swelling, muscle spasms, restricted range of motion or tension anywhere in that area.
The causes of neck pain are varied, and include both chronic and acute conditions. Sprains and strains, incorrect sleep habits, stress, abnormal or bad postures; injuries due to slips, falls, lifting, sports "weekend warrior activities" and other actions; car accidents & whiplash; breast feeding; arthritis; herniated disks; spinal stenosis; muscle spasms; postural deformities; and almost anything that can aggravate the upper spine/neck. One condition we see is often referred to as Military or Straight Neck, which is simply a reduced curvature of the neck.
Headache pain, migraine pain, neck pain & shoulder pain can also be interrelated, and therefore are often co-managed. Please check the information in those other sections, to see if they fit your needs. If you purchase a basic package from one section, but find other individual items, in another section, that would help you, they can be purchased individually as well.
Although there are many treatments for neck pain, according to many sufferers acupuncture, chiropractic, manipulations, injections, physical therapy, massage, exercise, yoga, medicines, vitamins, and even some home remedies such as careful stretching, ice/heat etc. have been shown to work. The best solution we have found for our patients is a hybrid of many of the above used together with products we have researched and used in our practice over many years.
Dr. Kim's View
Although there are various reasons for neck pain, it's been my experience as a health care professional and after seeing the results with my patients, that a combination of the following products can often be used to treat such pain, and solve many of it's causes. Each item in these packages addresses a different aspect of neck pain, which most often it is truly a combination of several of the underlying causes outlined above.
I want you to be aware that many patients may require from six weeks to begin to see results, and up to one year to lasting results from these products and new habits, although you may feel results sooner. That time frame depends on your age, your overall health, and the amount of the injury and pain. Practice makes perfect, practice with the items in your package every day, just like you brush your teeth; prevention goes a long way towards a cure. You know, a pain problem may have started with an incident many years ago, and your body has been used to accommodating it, so it can take some time to work things out and get back to normal. With that said, if you don't see some improvement after six weeks, you may wish to see your chosen health care professional to be sure there is not an underlying illness, or other health issue at work. Also if your pain increases or gets progressively worse, please stop our program and seek further care.
You mom's advice about sitting up and not slouching, was right; those habits take a toll on your spine and joints over time. While simply sitting up straight will not cure a problem, it will certainly help many of your neck and back pain issues.
You may not realize, but your sleep habits can affect your experience with pain. Sleeping on your back is one of the best first steps to help relive many types of pain, especially with the proper pillow and bed wedge supports: D-Core Pillow and the Bed Wedge. Sleeping on your back allows your spine to open and relax, and allows the discs in your spine that get squeezed during daily activity to re-inflate with liquid, thereby relieving pain and allowing them to do their job. Sleeping on your side does not allow this spinal relaxation, and can add pressure to nerves that may already be irritated, neck, shoulder, hips and your back to name a few. If you just can't get yourself to sleep on your back, you should consider a couple of our supportive pillows for side sleepers - Chiroflow Water Pillow and the Knee Separating Pillow.
When pain is chronic, and finally gets to a point where you are ready to DO something, it can take time to heal. It may have taken many years to get to this point of causing pain. But patient work with the products we have selected can really help over the long term. It's like giving your body a coach. If you keep going to a tennis coach, your skills will improve over time; it is the same with treatment of pain. Practice with these products will most often lead to a lessening of pain and improvement of mobility and range of motion in your daily life. As long as you continue to see improvement, keep going.
If your pain originated from a trauma-related event, perhaps from a car accident, fall or sports-related injury, the chronic pain may have taken time to settle in, and then to make itself known, sometimes years later. So be aware that it may take some time, and a bit of effort to get your body back to its old pain free self. The products we have selected are designed to help your body find the right alignment while seated, walking and while sleeping. The exercise items are designed to help restore range of motion and reduce scar tissue. The ointments and supplements are designed to help ease pain and ensure your body has the things it needs to heal properly.
