School district audit report lands with a thud
Then it was time for the board to take its medicine.
And Birmingham singled out the school board itself as part of the problem. Sometimes it takes an outsider to point out the things that can go unnoticed. A 15-member school board is exceptionally large, she noted, and to have elections every two years? "I think that presents a challenge to stability," Birmingham said.
The report can be downloaded from the district's website, mansd.org.
Mayor Ted Gatsas also didn't seem too pleased with Birmingham's presentation. The last time a scathing audit came down, last spring from the state Department of Education, Gatsas protested its findings, and it ended up being largely retracted.
"The common thread, that we don't do the same things everywhere, that every school is a district within a district, we could've saved a lot of money on this audit if we listened to him," he said.
Still, Gatsas found something to like in the report. He noted that it did not dwell on funding problems. "It's not about the level of spending. It's about what we're spending on and how to do it better," he said.
Meanwhile, Ward 12 Alderman and mayoral candidate Patrick Arnold quickly embraced the audit - and used it as a cudgel against the mayor.
"The audit validates what most of us in the city already know about the state of the Manchester School District - Mayor Gatsas' failed leadership has left our school system in desperate need of a new vision for success," Arnold said in a statement Thursday.
With all the talk about the stalled negotiations with the teachers union, it's easy to overlook the talks underway with the city unions representing police support personnel and Water Works employees. And we probably wouldn't have heard much about the talks - the unions together represent fewer than 200 people - were it not for Mike Roche, the vocal union president of the Steelworkers local representing the Water Works employees.
No doubt, Roche wouldn't be so upset were it not for the raw deal he feels is being offered: a fourfold increase in health insurance premiums - from 5 to 20 percent - with just a half-percent raise. At least the paraprofessionals and other district employees are being offered tax cap-based raises of 2.17 percent, Roche said.
Water Works is technically an independent entity, with its own overseeing commission, on which the mayor sits.
The main event at Tuesday's meeting will likely by the controversial ambulance contract. But there will probably be plenty of other early fireworks, seeing as how it will be the only meeting in the month. At least that's been the custom.
It being the end of the school year, much of Monday's school board meeting was taken up by the recognition of students and presentations. Of course, one employee is having his own graduation of sorts. It was Brennan's last full board meeting.

The human brain does not automatically go into a steady decline as we age. A variety of new studies have found that simple lifestyle choices can help to keep your mind sharp throughout a lifespan. A January 2014 study from Germany found that the aging brain may work 'slower' as we age, but that cognitive abilities do not necessarily decline as we age.
The German researchers believe that the older brain has the potential to progressively hold more and more knowledge, and wisdom, with age. The progressive increase of data may cause the older brain to process all the information a bit more slowly, but ultimately continue to become more intelligent with age.

New Study: What would a 'real' teenage Barbie look like?
(WPEC) A new study just released reveals how Barbie would look if she were an average 19-year-old girl.
The 'realistic Barbie's much more shapely and a lot shorter. Barbie is estimated to be around 110 pounds.While the average 19-year old is 140.
Researchers say Barbie's measurements fit the criteria of an anorexic girl and are unrealistic. The artist behind this study wants "Mattel" and other toy companies to make a Barbie that actually represents the average girl.

Adrien Brody can't focus on fashion!
Wednesday 9:13 PM, 25/06/2008
Adrien Brody and Elsa Pataky continued their romantic vacation in Milan yesterday by attending one of Fashion Week's many fashion shows, Giorgio Armani. Adrien looked a little better than he did yesterday but we're still not crazy about his dirty sneaker, driving glove and beige suit combo. Elsa, however, looked great as usual in a satin dress and high-heeled brown shoes and we understand that Adrien had trouble focusing on anything other than his girlfriend!

Excuse me?
Beauty and the Adrien Brody?!
Wednesday 12:58 AM, 25/06/2008
Gorgeous Spanish actress Elsa Pataky looked great in a short purple and pink summer dress and high-heeled lavender shoes while shopping in Milan yesterday and we can't help but wonder how she can let her actor boyfriend Adrien Brody leave the house in that outfit?! Adrien, who was dressed in a horrible green tanktop, camouflage pants and a weird necklace, is a waking example of how NOT to dress! Adrien, Adrien, we sure hope those shopping bags are full of new, better clothes!

Linda Evangelista glitters in Cannes!
Monday 11:26 AM, 19/05/2008
Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulle had its world premiere in Cannes the other day and on the red carpet were several famous faces. Among the guests were Harrison Ford and his Calista Flockart, Salma Hayek in a long green dress, Cate Blanchett, the gorgeous Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson's mother Goldie Hawn. The most eye-catching dress belonged to model Linda Evangelista and was covered in gold sequins. Indiana Jones was shown outside of competition, probably to take advantage of all the attention that the Cannes Film festival gets!

I won't ever be without this! I got it as part of a kit with the cleansers (also must haves) and couldn't be happier! My face and neck are smooth and feels amazing after using it. I love the minty scent and when I massage it in, I just imagine keeping those fine lines and wrinkles being kept at bay!

I will absolutely never be without this product if I can help it. I purchased it as part of a kit. I was actually purchasing the kit for the other products, and wasn't familiar with this at all. For some reason, I thought it would be a mask instead of a microdermabrasion scrub. It sat in my drawer for a couple of weeks before I got around to trying it. I have been using Boots No. 7 Microdermabrasion scrub for a couple of years, and THOUGHT I was satisfied with it. It was comparable to some very expensive brands I had tried samples of in the past. And THEN...there was THIS. This is an unbelievably effective microdermabrasion scrub. Yes; it has a minty scent. It improves circulation and makes your skin feel fresh. Yes; it is "gritty." (It's a microdermabrasion scrub for petes' sake!). It may seem a little irritating at first if you are not used to using a scrub of this quality. Scrub gently. Do not dig into your skin, pushing the product too hard against the surface. Also, on days when you use it, skip your acid products (alpha and beta) for at least a few hours. BE GENTLE, and GLOW!!
I love you, Dimitri! You have made my skin look wonderful again. I had tried so many things. Love this product and the cleansers that came with the kit too. Great quality! Will try more Skinn products in the future.

I just got this in a set I got off TSC, which included the Sulphate-Free am cleanser, the Olive and Enzyme pm cleanser, the Collegenisis Facial, and Eye, Serums, and the Enriched Softening Essence toner.
After getting the set, I tried the scrub right away after using the cleansers. It's a dense, faded denim blue colour scrub in a pot (I use a cosmetic spatula for potted products). I used about an almond-sized amount.
I could feel right away this was a very strong grit and I was a bit nervous about continuing to massage it in for 1-2 minutes as per the directions. I'm used to dermabrasion products, but this was kind of scary feeling. So instead, I gently massaged it for less than 1 minute. One of the issues I had right away was the overpowering peppermint smell. It was so strong my eyes were watering and my face HURT from it. So I removed it with a facecloth and water and was almost gasping at how icy cold it felt (from the peppermint) - fantastic for hot grimy days; a little uncomfortable for cold rainy evenings. However I am pleased to say that my skin felt fantastic - soft and plump, and not irritated at all once it was off. It worked really well at polishing my skin. The icy cold feeling of the product really refreshed my complexion and I had a nice glow. I will continue to be cautious about over using this, but am looking forward to my next use to see if I get used to the peppermint experience.
UPDATE: OH POOH. I have to send the whole set back, as I've found the set is not working for me in the long run. I've used them daily for two weeks. The day cleanser, which I used to love, is now too harsh for my skin - my skin is tight and dry, red and irritated after using it - looks exactly like I have rosacea (I don't). The other treatment products, while lovely, are not providing the moisturizing and calming properties that I need, especially after using the cleanser, or the scrub. My skin is bumpy and feels irritated. Too bad for me! Hope others enjoy them though.

This is the BEST exfoliating facial treament I have ever used. I have post-acne hyperpigmentation and by using Dermappeal they are almost all faded! :) I'm very pleased with this product! It is expensive runs about 30.00 on ShopNBC, if you buy it alone. You receive about 2 oz. of product. I reccommend using a popcicle stick or plastic spoon or spatula to remove the product from the jar because it becomes "active" with water. Way better than St. Ives apricot scrub, there is nothing like this product. If you do decide to purchase anything from Skinn cosmetics, purchase this product!

I bought this treatment at TSC in Canada as part of a showstopper. The kit came with this AM cleanser, the PM cleanser, the wrinkle soak mask, and dermapeel treatment all for $50 canadian including taxes. I also got the kit on auto delivery every 2 months. Which in my mind quite frankly is a steal for such high quality products.
In this kit the Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment came in a 2 ounce size container with a screw top. The treatment is a blue, greyish color. Is like a paste. With dry fingers I scoop out about a quarter size amount and spread over my face and neck. I massage it in lightly for 1min, and then let it sit for another min before washing it off in the shower.
The smell is very refreshing like peppermint. It works wonders for exfoliating all the dead skin. Helping with acne marks or scars. Fine lines or wrinkles are less apparent. It does not make me break out either. I use this three times a week. Probably my favorite out of the whole package.
My skin type is oily in areas and acne prone. I have spent probably thousands of dollars and many years in skin care over the years to get my skin to look just healthy. It could be that I am growing out of my acne but I know these products certainly have helped my skin.
Yes you do have to buy the stuff on tv or via his website. But the products and a good value for your money. They do work. He keeps water, sulphates, and parabens out of his products. I think I am hooked. I have yet to try any other products from the line but will be shortly.

I was looking for an alternative to aluminum oxide crystals to use for my at home microdermabrasion treatments. Skinn DermAppeal uses magnesium oxide crystals in a natural base of oils and antioxidants. The crystals are nice and fine grade, giving my skin a radiant smooth appearance after use. I use this once a week or so, scrubbing each section of my face in small circles for about a minute per area. Contains peppermint and tea tree oils. The only downside is that it has a strong peppermint tingle on the skin which I don't really like. Comes in a 2 oz container from HSN.com for $25.

New National Curriculum From 2014
The new national curriculum started from September 2014, except for students in years 2 and 6. They will continue with the current curriculum and will sit the same type of curriculum tests. New testing arrangements will be organised for May 2016.
Currently, students are assessed in terms of levels. As part of the new curriculum, the levelling system will be removed and will not be replaced. Instead, the curriculum will be made up of programmes of study which will direct schools as to the topics that should be covered in each school year.
The reason for this is that the education department feels that the current levelling system is complicated and hard for parents to understand. They feel it also encourages teachers to focus on a pupil's current level, rather than consider more broadly what the pupil can actually do.
The new programmes of study set out what should be taught by the end of each key stage. The schools are then given the freedom to develop a curriculum which is relevant to their pupils and enables them to meet these expectations.
Click here
to see the new national curriculum framework from September 2014.
The mathematics curriculum is split into various elements:
Number - Number and Place Value
Number - Addition and Subtraction
Number - Multiplication and Division
Number - Fractions (this includes Decimals from Year 4 and Percentages from Year 6)
Geometry - Properties of Shapes
Geometry - Position and Direction
Statistics (this is now from Year 2 rather than from Key Stage 2)
Ratio and Proportion (from Year 6)
Algebra (from Year 6)

Location, friendly staff.
Hard bed. English often not understood.
Bedroom is spacious and clean,
Mattress sink when the other partner is heavier than you. It's disturbing when the sleeping partner moves.
Room is clean and staff good
Breakfast quality poor compared to Hi Lai Hotel
Friendly staff Smiling face Helpful in every way
The beds are not good.
The reception was very kind. The facility in the room looked old, but worked well. The breakfast was excellent, and there was a variety of selection, from noodle to fruits.
The location was not so convenient, but easy to catch a taxi anywhere.
Breakfast and the room are impressive. Close to the river and got a convenience store nearby.
Take at least 15 min to walk from subway and the swimming pool is too close to the road. The pedestrians can see you swimming easily.
general speaking, it's a good hotel although it's a little old.
I like the location.
Advice to improve breakfast taste and quality.
The ambience was lovely, with views of Love River and the employees provided excellent service. I also loved that the room key was an actual iron lkey and not the digitised card type.
The bed was rather hard. And there were too few television channels.
very good service
Good location.
Staff and hotel generally
Spacious rooms, with beautiful views to love river. Breakfast is excellent, and staff too. Completely recomend.
Nothing much to mention except a good view on the Love River (river view room only)
The hotel photo was misleading. I thought the nice looking tall building behind the brown building was part of the hotel also, but not, they were totally unrelated premises. The inner was old. Beds were hard. Rooms looked more like 4-star than 5-star for me. Staffs are well trained but not flexible in any change. Cannot think of any reason to come back again.
Location to Love River is excellent. Easy to walk around streets.
Nothing. A great place for a long weekend getaway.
Conceirge and door men pleasant and helpful
Worst waiter service at buffet. Waitresses only concerned that the buffet closed at 9pm. Very expensive buffet prices for quality of food.

This month (October 2011) there are a slew of conferences on virtualization and cloud technologies being held in Europe. The question becomes which to attend! If you are in the United States, this could be expensive considering the current Euro to Dollar exchange rate but if you are already in Europe one of these events is well worth attending, each has there own take and focus. But after the success of VMworld US, is there anything more to announce?

VMware's Roadmap to the post-PC Future

Of late though, VMware has seen more success with View, especially in the small to mid-market, where independent surveys suggest that View sales are keeping pace with (some say exceeding) those of XenDesktop.

Citrix VDI-in-a-Box vs XenDesktop – does size matter?
• • 3 Comments
The challenge for Citrix is to position their VDI portfolio effectively. At the very least there should be a standardised license plan and migration path from (or to) the grid and non-grid solutions. There is potential to remove the reduced functionality versions of XenDesktop. Most importantly – to have a license model that allows organisations to make a choice of technology that fits their need, not their size. Can Citrix FlexCast be truly flexible if it ignores the value that having a grid technology can bring not only to the SMB market – but to any sized enterprise?

The Start of VMworld 2011
• • 0 Comments
VMworld 2011 has finally arrived as the expected crowd of about 20,000 arrived in Las Vegas for the event. The temperature is a broiling 110* and sunny. Today is Monday August 29, and the official start of the conference, but the vExperts had the opportunity to attend a special briefing, before the show, that focused on VMware's vision for the future. Following the briefing, there was a couple of options for the evening from the vDodgeball game to the warm-up party. I attended the vmunderground warm-up party as a service (WuPaaS.Next) at the Nine Fine Irishmen Pub. These guys have been throwing the pre-party for the last few VMworlds and what started as a tweet-up as turned into a major event in itself. So popular, in fact, that all the tickets were gone in seconds. Big thanks to Theron Conrey, Sean Clark, Rich Brambley and Brain Knudtson for making this happen. The turkey legs they served were fabulous.

Countdown to Launch
• • 0 Comments
Friday was the day that the last space shuttle will be launch in to space. The shuttle Atlantis is on the launch pad and ready to go. As I watched the clock countdown to zero, I found myself reflecting on the idea that this launch will be the very last space shuttle flight. I grew up in Florida and have been able to walk outside and watch the shuttles, over the years, launch into space. I have enjoyed watching the launches as well as feeling the sonic booms when the shuttle would fly overhead on the way to the runway for touchdown. For me and many others, this launch signifies the end of an era and the start of something new.

Take it to the Cloud
• • 0 Comments
Everywhere you look you hear more and more about cloud computing as well as hearing one of my favorite lines from a Microsoft commercial "Let's take it to the Cloud…". Companies are jumping on the cloud bandwagon in quite a big way. I wanted to point out and mention some stories and services that I am using personally and having good success with.
Apple has done quite well serving up the AppStore and iTunes for the mobile devices and Apple has recently announced that it was discontinuing MobileMe and replacing the service with iCloud. It can go without saying that this has been an invaluable tool for use with my iPhone and iPad.
Business Agility ...
CloudFoundry Apps not VMs
• • 0 Comments
VMware's latest effort, CloudFoundry, is not about VMware delving into the PaaS market even deeper. They have done that already with VMforce. CloudFoundry on the other hand is a fairly astute move to enable the development and rapid adoption of cloud based applications. The end goal is to sell what makes up a PaaS environment which is more enabling software. This would enable enterprises and businesses to move to the cloud. The problem with them moving now is that there are not that many applications that are cloud friendly. In effect more concentration on the application and less on the operating system which has always been VMware's strategic direction.
Cloud Computing ...
Virtualization and Cloud Conferences for the Year
• • 1 Comment
It is often very hard to plan which virtualization and cloud conferences to attend and why. You may need to start your planning now as justification from work could be hard to come by. It may mean you make the decision to go on your own dime. If you do the later, there are some alternative mechanisms that could work for the bigger conferences. The conferences and events I attend every year depend on my status with the organization hosting those events, and whether or not I can get a 'deal' as a speaker, analyst, or blogger. So what conferences do I find worth attending? That will also depend on your job role. There is one I would attend regardless of role, and a few I would attend as a Virtualization and Cloud Security person. All are good conferences.

VMworld 2010 in Review
• • 0 Comments
What seemed like forever to get here was over in a blink of an eye. VMworld 2010 in San Francisco was once again an incredible event with over 17,000 people in attendance. Now that I have had a little time to reflect on the past week, I wanted to share my thoughts on the week and the event itself. The weather in San Francisco was unseasonable warm for San Francisco standards during the event but as a person from Florida who enjoys warmer weather the temperature for me was absolutely wonderful. I arrived in town on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed taking advantage of the power of twitter from the San Francisco Airport. Once I landed I sent a tweet out to see who else may have landed and who might want to share a cab to the hotel. Denis Guyadeen (@dguyadeen) responded right back and once we grabbed are luggage we were off and on our way.

We have a big problem at the moment with pupils vandalising or stealing mice and damaging keyboards or taking the keys. We then get teachers sending pupils to us to get replacement mice or keyboards, or they sometimes phone us to ask us to bring the equipment.
At the moment our store room is not in the same place as our office. We have an internal email system in place and staff are supposed to log calls using email. So, I was thinking of having a policy of saying 'We do not keep mice or keyboards in our office, we keep them in the store room. All requests must be e-mailed to us, we will then replace the equipment, we will aim to do this by the next lesson'.
Does this sound a good idea or not? Anyone got a better idea?
Thanks in advance!

There are few instruments of death more beautiful than the dueling pistols of the 18th and 19th centuries. This non-firing reproduction is probably one of the nicest looking flintlocks that we sell. It has a wonderful flowing shape to it with an extended grip and satisfying feel. Almost every inch of the locks, stock and barrel is etched intricately. Heck, even the trigger gaurd is beautifully designed. But then, Italians ahve always been masters of design.
The centerpiece of this weapon is certainly the pair of dueling dragons that make up the hammer and striker. These creatures are carved in arching detail, facing one another ready to strike. The lock plate that they sit upon is carved with an amazing array of designs as well and makes a great contrast to the light wood of the stock. The stock itself is fluted at the grip, and is anchored by an ornate brass cap and finial assortment that is bolted to the base of the grip, where the loading would have been carried out.The cap, likemost everything else on this flintlock pistol, is detailed and etched gorgeously.
The long brass barrel (more than 10 inches long) is fluted and crimped handsomely at the end. The barrel also features some very detailed engravings along the very tip.
This is truly a fantastic piece to hold. It's got a nice heft to it and the lock/trigger mechanism are so satisfyingly solid that you can't help but shoot it over an over. It's worse than freakin' Tetris. Or I guess Sudoku would be a more contemporary example for you young whippersnappers. Whatever your age, you'll find this to be a very high quality reproduction of beautiful piece of dueling history.
Specs Coming soon. But this pistol really rocks. Seriously.
It's pretty simple, really. You line up facing each other at a predetermined distance, take careful aim with a specially made pistol, and fire at your opponent, hoping your bullet hits him and causes enough damage to keep him from firing back.
Dueling was a right of the upper classes. In the 18th and 19th centuries, pistols were added to swords as methods of seeking satisfaction for wrongs. Like the swords used in duels, dueling pistols were a status symbol as well as a means to an end of your opponent. The more attractive your pistols, the more distinguished you were considered to be. This was one of the reasons that so many differnt styles of dueling pistol were created. Hundreds of thousands of beautifully styled and carved firearms were stored in noble houses across the world, waiting for the right insult to be levied against the owner or his associates.
Despite the myriad types of dueling pistols made, most had one thing in common: They had long barrels, These long barrels gave the lead shot a longer and straighter launch, allowing for much more accuracy than common flintlock pistols.
The rules governing pistol duels varied from duel to duel. It was the task of the "seconds" (assistants to each of the dueling men or women) to come to an agreement on the how the duel should be carried out. One of the simplest and most common was the alternating duel.
In this type, the parties stood a certain number of paces from one another, each with a pistol in hand. The challenged party would get to go first, so the challenger would turn his body in profile, offering as little target as possible. The challenged party would then fire one shot at his opponent. If the shot missed, or failed to seriously injure his target, then the challenger would get his turn.
If neither party killed or seriously injured his opponent with the first shot, they could continue to a second round, or end the duel, with neither side losing face or honor. In fact, it was somewhat common for opponents to fire their pistols into the ground, or otherwise intentionally miss each other. This was a good way to get out of the duel without looking like a ninny. Of course, you had to hope that your opponent wasn't going to shoot at you after you fired your round into the floor.
The flintlock pistol was the greatest advance in pirating since the wooden leg. Developed in the 1600s, these pistols revolutionized ship-to-ship combat (and on-land raiding). The concept was fairly simple: gunpowder was stuffed into the barrel. A lead ball, usually wrapped in some sort of fabric, was stuffed in. A metal rod (normally embedded in the bottom of the gun's barrel) was removed and used to jam the ball and powder as far back as possible, and as close as possible. A hammer (sometimes called a cock [insert giggles here]) was then pulled back half-way and left that way until the gun was ready to fire. The pistol technically was not meant to fire in this position, although sometimes they were known to go off half-cocked (and yes, that is the origin of that expression). When the gun was ready to be fired, the hammer (or cock, hehehehe) was pulled back all the way and the trigger was squeezed. A the top of the hammer, a piece of flint was held in place by a vice. When the trigger was squeezed, the hammer was released and the flint struck a metal plate known as a frizzen. A spark would be created, which would light the powder in the barrel, which in turn would make a satisfying "boom" sound. A by-product of this "boom" was the ejection of the lead ball from the barrel at a high rate of speed. Flintlock owners had to be careful that the barrel was not facing anyone when they created their "boom" sound or injury or death could result.
Moisture or water was one of the greatest threats to flintlock pistols. Wet powder would not light when sparked, so the flintlock owner would neither get the satisfying "boom" nor the lethal projectile flying from their barrel. Instead, this would often mean that they, themselves, would be the target of an opponent's satisfying boom and resultant projectile. That, or a sword through the esophagus.
