Product Usage – Stoneware & Accessories
Are temp-tations® lead-safe?
Temp-tations® porcelain, stoneware, china and earthenware products meet all Federal and state government standards for lead safety. All temp-tations® products are tested for lead safety by accredited independent laboratories before they are shipped to the U.S.
Can temp-tations® be used on a stove top?
No, temp-tations® stoneware should not be used on a stove top or over an open flame.
Can temp-tations® go in the dishwasher?
Yes, all temp-tations® stoneware is dishwasher safe.
Can temp-tations® go in the refrigerator and freezer?
Yes, all temp-tations® stoneware and storage covers are refrigerator and freezer safe.
Is it safe to go from the freezer directly to the oven with temp-tations®?
Yes, all temp-tations® bakers can go from the freezer directly to the oven. However, when doing so, allow your temp-tations® baker and your oven to heat up together. (Put the stoneware in an unheated oven, turn on the oven, and allow both to come to desired cooking temperature simultaneously.)
Can temp-tations® go in the microwave?
Yes, all temp-tations® stoneware is microwave safe.
Is it ok to pre-heat temp-tations® in the oven or microwave when the dish is empty?
No, do not pre-heat your temp-tations® bakers in the oven or microwave when empty, as this may cause stress to the stoneware.
When hand washing, is it ok to soak temp-tations® in water?
It's ok to fill your temp-tations® with water and let it soak, but do not fully submerge your temp-tations® in a sink full of water. Stoneware absorbs water in places where there's no glaze (for example, on the bottom, where it sits in the kiln). When the stoneware is then put in the oven, microwave, or freezer, the absorbed water will expand and can cause stress to the stoneware. Please note that temp-tations® stoneware is dishwasher safe.
Is it ok to hand wash temp-tations® after removal from a hot oven or microwave?
No, do not take a temp-tations® baker out of a hot oven or microwave and immerse in water; let the stoneware come to room temperature before washing.
How should tempered glass trivets be cleaned?
It is recommended that you hand wash tempered glass trivets. Do not soak in warm soapy water.
How should the plastic storage covers work?
Temp-tations® tabless storage covers are not designed to snap on, be air or water tight. They are simply to cover your dish and allow stacking in the refrigerator or freezer as well as to help protect your food. If your temp-tations® includes "snap-on" covers, they are designed with large tabs to snap on for a snug fit. Due to the nature of stoneware, they will not be air tight or water tight.
Where are the plastic storage covers located in the packaging?
The plastic storage covers are embedded in the foam packaging. Please remove all packaging from the box to find the plastic storage covers.
Can plastic storage covers go in the dishwasher?
Yes, the plastic storage covers can be cleaned on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Can plastic storage covers be used in the oven?
No, the plastic storage covers should only be used when storing dishes in the refrigerator or freezer.
Can plastic storage covers go in the microwave?
We do not recommend using the plastic storage covers in the microwave.
How should thermal tote bags be cleaned?
Do not machine wash your thermal tote bag. Spot clean with a damp towel and mild soap. Do not use bleach. Your thermal tote bag can be put into the dryer on low. Use an iron on the lowest setting to remove any wrinkles.
Why do the rattan trivets have an odor?
There may be a scent associated with the protective lacquer applied to the rattan to ease in cleanup. This scent will dissipate in a short period of time.
Product Usage – Melamine & Acrylic
Is temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware lead-safe?
Yes, temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware meet all Federal and state government standards for lead safety.
Is temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware BPA-free?
Is it OK to use temp-tations® acrylic drinkware with hot liquids?
No, temp-tations® acrylic drinkware is not intended for use with hot liquids.
Is temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware oven and microwave safe?
Is temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend placing these items on the top rack of your dishwasher only.
Is it OK to clean my temp-tations® melamine tableware and acrylic drinkware with abrasive cleaners?
No, do not use abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning utensils, as they may cause scratches.
Product Warranties
What is the warranty of temp-tations®?
Temp-tations® comes with a limited three-year warranty. This warranty applies to all new temp-tations® products that were purchased for personal or household use from an authorized retailer. This warranty does not cover "as is" or items purchased at QVC Outlet Stores. This warranty is not available to commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your product will be free of defects in materials or workmanship, under normal use. To assure the proper handling of your warranty without delay, and to facilitate verification of the original date of purchase, we suggest you complete the warranty registration completely.
What if a product is defective?
Should your product prove to be defective within the three-year warranty period, we will have the option to repair or replace your item at no charge. Shipping and handling costs are not included in the terms of this warranty and will be your responsibility. This warranty does not cover defects caused by accident, misuse, negligence, including tampering, abuse, damage in transit, or use for commercial purposes. It does not cover anything other than a manufacturing defect. This warranty excludes any relief for incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
If I have a defective product, what should I do?
If you have a defective product, please call 1-800-442-8677. Our friendly Customer Service Representatives are here to help.
Product Returns

If you're not completely satisfied, simply follow the return instructions below and return within 30 days of receipt for a refund of the purchase price (less shipping and handling).

Once your return is received and inspected, your refund will be processed and a credit will be automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment.
Paint Colors & Brush Strokes
I've noticed that sometimes older temp-tations® pieces and newer temp-tations® pieces purchased in the same color don't exactly match. Why is that?
Temp-tations® pieces are handcrafted and hand painted, so no two pieces are ever alike. Every effort is made for colors to remain consistent, but because brush strokes vary from piece to piece, slight color variations will occur – making each piece unique.
Why are there variations in the painted brush strokes?
Part of the charm of temp-tations® is that each piece is unique. Each piece is hand painted by artisans; therefore, no two pieces will ever be alike. Variations in brushstrokes will occur, making your set truly one of a kind.

Joe Nick Patoski draws a portrait of Willie Nelson based on 35 years of covering his subject. He does an especially good job with Nelson's early years, describing the difficulty of breaking into the music scene. Unfortunately, as the book continues, it often reads as if the journalist has stitched together his various

text: When Paul Rudnick's outrageously funny comedy about Adam and Steve, a gay retelling of the Bible, opened last year, its most shocking aspect was the lack of outrage by conservatives. The Most Fabulous Story opened rather quietly to mixed reviews and set up shop Off Broadway, where spring ticket sales, in general, have been dry. Now the play is scheduled to close May 2, and that is the real outrage, since it has actually improved in the last few months. Rudnick (Jeffrey, In & Out), who's capable of penning the most fabulous one-liners ever written (''Angels are just Prozac for poor people''), has tightened the Thornton Wilder-esque script, which is no small feat, since he's chronicling the journey of Adam and Steve and their lesbian friends, Jane and Mabel, from the Garden of Eden to modern-day Manhattan. Rudnick has made the funny bits funnier, the dramatic turns more graceful, and the cast now including the phenomenal comedic talents of Julie Halston as a wheelchair-bound public-access-TV rabbi and Lea DeLaria as the pushy Jane spins comic gold. Most fabulous of all: Peter Bartlett's hilarious performance as a bitchy pharaoh enslaving homosexuals to build his pyramids. ''Oh, look at them all,'' he whines, ''just sitting there criticizing.'' No complaints here. A

Noriyuki "Pat" Morita (June 28, 1932 – November 24, 2005)[1] was an American film and television actor who was well known for playing the roles of Matsuo "Arnold" Takahashi on Happy Days and Kesuke Miyagi in the The Karate Kid movie series, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1984.[2] Pat was the lead actor in the television program Mr. T and Tina, regarded as the first American sitcom centered on a person of Asian descent, and Ohara, a police-themed drama. Both television shows were aired on ABC, but they were both short-lived. Pat Morita was born in Isleton, California.[3] He developed spinal tuberculosis at the age of two and spent the bulk of the next nine years in Northern Californian hospitals, including the Shriners Hospital in San Francisco. For long periods he was wrapped in a full-body cast and was told he would never walk.[4] It was during his time at a sanitarium near Sacramento that he was given his stage name, "Pat". Released from the hospital at a ...

Watched "Thoroughly Modern Millie," a children's movie, from 1967 over the weekend starring Carol Channing, Mary Tyler Moore, and Julie Andrews. Well, I guess some things have changed over the years... Cantonese laundry men (Jack Soo, Pat Morita, and that "steal the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper" guy) in league with a chopstick-coiffed white Dragon Lady (Beatrice Lilllie, in her finest final post-vaudeville performance) in white slavery: drugging and kidnapping single, orphan, young women for export to.? Best line, by Julie Andrews at the very end to her beau: "I don't want to be your equal, I just want to be a woman!" Yep, I guess things have changed a bit since '67...
Stumbled on this and am fascinated and horrified: Walker played Howard Cunningham's cousin and appeared on Happy Days -- set in the 50s. Yet this show takes place in 1977. Pat Morita appears as Arnold -- again: 1977. Eddie Mekka was STILL on Laverne & Shirley but playing a different role on this show. Scott Baio and Lynda Goodfriend are in the cast before joining Happy Days. The theme is the same singer who did L&S theme. Caren Kaye was always hot. Nice cheesy wink at the end. Jeff DiVeronica and Chuck Creme and Dave Blask: you should watch this.

Get Paid to Act No Matter Where You Live This text is from a member of the National Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild, currently based in Hawaii and consulting with two television programs located there, Scott Rogers. Title implies expletive (deleted). This book is a practical guide to working as an actor without moving to Hollywood. It was written for the tens of thousands of actors living all over country (and world!) who dream of being paid as a professional actor and fall into two basic categories: 1. Actors who are building experience and reel before making the big move to L.A. Both experience and reel are easier to get in smaller markets, as you will see in the book. 2. Actors who have decided to live where they are because they enjoy their quality of life or in order to maintain their commitments to family or their jobs. These actors are content to pick up acting jobs when they come along. This book is not meant to be an attack on Hollywood (in spite of the title!) But there is a miscon ...
Watching Karate Kid. Still floored that Ralph MacChio is older today than Pat Morita was when the movie debuted.

He's supposedly dead, but I'm pretty sure I Pat Morita is hanging out at the cabaret at the Paris Hotel in Vegas. And he dances pretty well for a dead guy.
The moment you realize that Pat Morita was in Happy Days...
1984 was the year Pat Morita taught us how to love
Which of these anniversaries make you feel older: 1. The film A Christmas Story turning 30 this year. 2. The film Napoleon Dynamite turning 10 next year. I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that Ralph MacChio today is older than Pat Morita was when he played Mr. Miyagi in the original Karate Kid.
S/O to Noriyuki "Pat" Morita (Mr. Miyagi) for doing the voice of The Emperor in

Today in history, Let us honor Pat Morita today. This is the day of his honorable passing. If you don't know the man he was, look it up. R.I.P. Pat. You are missed.
Played football this afternoon and now I feel like the oldest man. Not Richard Attenborough-old, though, but Pat Morita-old. When he was alive, obviously, though that might change later.
THOUGHTS I HAD WHILE PEELING POTATOES: When my sons were small, we used things we saw on TV to teach lessons. Now, I know TV is the evil giant, blah, blah, blah but we shared a lesson on honor and pride from the Karate Kid series of movies that I could not have taught if I had said "Now let's sit down and discuss the ancient custom of honor among 17th-18th century Samurai and how it influences the Asian culture to this day". Thanks, Ralph MacChio and Pat Morita. Granted the TV today is not the time of innocence we find in *** Van *** Bonanza, Mayberry type shows but there are still points to be discussed, lessons to be learned. Who has not wanted to Gibbs-slap someone, (probably someone like Sheldon Cooper), work side-by-side with an undercover boss and get some good stuff for it because of your excellence as an employee or travel with Gordon Ramsey to a diner and tell those people you had a TERRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE WITH THEM? My point? Yes, there is one. TV may seem like it is pulling us down ...

It was directed by James Goldstone.

Here are just a few titles: "Your Show Of Shows", "Get Smart", "Blazing Saddles", "The Producers", "History Of The World Part One", "Young Frankenstein", and so many more. One of my favorites is the ever-changing, always hilarious colloboration with fellow genius Carl Reiner as "The 2,000-Year Old Man". Gilda Susan Radner, who left us way too soon, but whose legacy will live on in features like "Haunted Honeymoon" (with then-husband Gene Wilder) and "The Woman In Red", and especially the plethora of fabulous characters on "Saturday Night Live" (with previous husband, house band guitarist G.E. Smith). Thank you for all the laughs, Gilda, you were awesome!

King Kublai Khan in the play Yellow Shakespeare gets deliberately mis-pronounced by entertainment exec Martin Cain (Chadd Stoops) as "King Cobra Kai," noted to be from a particularly iconic 80s movie starring Ralph MacChio/Pat Morita by Director Andy Lowe. Kelvin Han Yee as Shakespeare brilliantly exclaims, "Bow to your sensei!"
Today I'd like to honor the man who raised me to know right from wrong. The man who taught me the value of respect and honor. To breathe in and breathe out. To wax on, to wax off. The greatest mentor a growing boy could ask for, Pat Morita! Thank you, Mr. Miyagi. Happy Fathers Day, everyone!
China pressing claims for Okinawa? Ralph MacChio: I would do something, but they'll sweep the leg and Pat Morita's dead...

.Wanna feel old? This year, Ralph MacChio will be the age Pat Morita was when The Karate Kid was filmed.
Watching the original Karate Kid. Ralph MacChio is actually the same age as Pat Morita in this movie. He just ages well. RIP Pat Morita :(
Home with Justin who has the stomach bug today. :( Watching the original Karate Kid -- had forgotten how really great this movie is! Pat Morita is awesome, WAY better than Jackie Chan!!!
You need to tell Stan or Mel(maintenence employees) to fix or water heater tmrw. I can cause more heat than Pat Morita fixing Daniel before he faces the Cobra Kai The text message to my morning supervisor.
This "Karate Kid" with Will Smith's kid is crap... And Jackie Chan, though great, is no Pat Morita. Long live Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi!
All of the fight scenes in the original Karate Kid were real, taken directly from Pat Morita's home video collection.
Older than Pat Morita was during the first Karate Kid film.
In honour of the passing of Allan Arbus, just watched one of his early ('73) M*A*S*H episodes. Also starring... John Ritter and Pat Morita?!
Whats scary is that Ralph MacChio is the SAME AGE as Pat Morita when they made the 1st Karate Kid. Nice 2 see Billy Zabka 2.
It's Jay Leno's birthday, so as you can imagine we're playing Collision Course, his 1989 buddy cop movie with Pat Morita.
I know. I am now the age of pat morita when he first portrayed mr myagi.
Pat Morita was turning kids into ninjas!
Random thought I just have to share: Pat Morita was much more Mr. Miyagi in my mind than Arnold from Happy Days.
Pat Morita + hacker = best moment. I'll regret to the day I die I didn't get it on tape.
The actor Noriyuki "Pat" Morita really was a hero in real life. He conquered obstacles. Many only know him by the role Mr. Miyagi in film

couldn't believe he was 95! The poker game with Pat Morita is my personal favourite.
The 'Deal Me Out' episode of Mash (w/ Arbus, Pat Morita, Ed Winter and John Ritter) is my favorite, so many memorable quotes
You should at least check out the episode Deal Me Out from season 2. Arbus, Pat Morita...its hilarious. MASH at its best.
The Poker Game episode is my absolute favorite. Him, Pat Morita...so hilarious.

VHS Find Collision Course, on the President label. Jay Leno and Pat Morita!
Pat Morita was 52 when he played Mr. Miyagi. Ralph MacChio is now 52. Sure, he still looks 12 but still
Pat Morita and John Ritter on one of today's episodes of M.A.S.H.
oh.. Pat Morita (karate instructor on The Karate Kid) died in 2005. I thought he was still alive. :(
Prepare to feel old. Pat Morita was 51 when the original Karate Kid came out. Ralph MacChio is now 51 years old.
Now that Ralph MacChio is Pat Morita's age in the first Karate Kid, it would be great to see a movie about Daniel Larusso teaching an Asian Kid Martial Arts using the skills he learned from Mr. Miyagi. Even if it was only direct to DVD I'd pick it up. With Bill & Ted 3, Ghost Busters 3 and a new Goonies constantly being rumored, why not?
makes me want to angry Footloose dance"Ralph MacChio is now same age that Pat Morita was in 1st Karate Kid
The Karate Kid on HBO..Ralph MacChio and Elizabeth Sue..and Pat Morita what a classic movie.. of my childhood..
Ralph MacChio is as old today as Pat Morita was in the Karate Kid.
I forgot I needed to clarify, but yes: original Karate Kid w Ralph MacChio & Pat Morita :) Somehow I never saw it before!
I can't believe Ralph MacChio never avenged Pat Morita's death.

Has our generation become way too suspicious about the intentions of adults toward children in movies? Watching a horror movie called Burnt Offerings where an elderly Burgess Meredith is watching a young lad out a window. First thought above all others was 'don't go near him kid...probably a peadophile'. I just know I'll feel guilty about my accusation later when he saves the family. If I were watching The Shining or Karate Kid for the first time nowadays, I'd probably point the same finger at Scatman Crothers and Pat Morita...
Can't sleep, so I'm up watching my favorite WWII war movie. I know for most guys my age, it's Saving Private Ryan, and I even know a few fellas that put Enemy at the Gates at the top of their list (that one is actually second on my list). No, for me it's the 1976 classic Midway, staring Henry Fonda and Charlton Heston. Not only was it a pretty accurate tactical recounting of one of the War's most pivotal battles at sea, but had a cast with as many powerful stars of the time as Private Ryan. Along with Heston and Fonda, we had Hal Holbrook, James Coburn, Robert Mitchum, Cliff Robertson, Pat Morita, Robert Wagner, Toshiro Mifune, Robert Ito, and Dabney Coleman just to name a few.
I hope the Senators ask Leon Panetta why he sold Al's Diner to Pat Morita.
Elizabeth Shue is fit in an 80's way but Ralph MacChio looks 9. Doesn't help if you are 16 & called Ralph! The late Pat Morita makes it.

Where's Pat Morita when you need him!?!
When Pat Morita is dishing the advice, I am going for second helpings.
Really wish I could have met pat morita. Only had one brief phone conversation.
I've always felt that My Cousin Vinny would have been way funnier had Pat Morita played the role as cousin Vinny.

Pat Morita deserved an Oscar for this performance.

So was Pat Morita judo chopping dishes in 'Happy Days' learning karate?
I was actually more jealous of Pat Morita's hair.
"Rule: karate is for defense only. Rule follow rule - Mr Miyagi
I think it was smart to focus on Pat Morita's character after the first film though. Daniel really doesn't have much story left.
Seriously how did Pat Morita not win at least 2 best supporting actor Oscars, Mr Miaygi is a friggin legend. In USA and Okinawa!
Watching Karate Kid - the original. Pat Morita is so good.
A Person with no forgiveness in heart live with worse punishment than death - Pat Morita (Karate Kid 2)

Growing up I loved "The Karate Kid" movie with Ralph MacChio & Pat Morita..& it just happens to be on AMC right now.
In my younger days I never noticed how romantic Karate Kid II is
It's some kind of shame that Pat Morita passed away before we got the chance to hear him say "Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?"

Also I am fairly certain I remember mr. miagi, pat morita, singing the national anthem at a cavs game I was at about 5 years ago
Turn on the TV and Karate Kid 2 is on the part where Mr Miyagi saves his rival by karate chopping a block of wood he's trapped under. What a pimp. What a compassionate, forgiving pimp... R.I.P. Pat Morita

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Mercedes Night View Assist ad campaign cleverly uses the photography technique known as bokeh. Boken is the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light for a blurry effect. Instead of a random blur of lights, however, the images revolve around barely perceivable words such as child and deer. Paired with the tag line, "Spots the danger before you do," the images show how the night view assist feature can save lives.
Created by Düsseldorf-based BBDO in collaboration with Prague-based Mark BBDO, the Mercedes Night View Assist ad campaign is quite beautiful to look at, just like the photography it is inspired by. It was art directed by Daniel Haschtmann with creative direction by David Mously, Jan Harbeck and Wolfgang Schneider.

TV Guide columnist William Keck posted this exclusive photo of Nora, played by newcomer Lucy Griffiths, with Bill and Eric from the season five premiere. According to TV Guide, Nora is a part of the Vampire Authority and
"She's an irreverent British lady who we think was turned during Elizabethan or Victorian times…It's been years since she's seen Eric, and she is very excited. She looks up to him, but they've had a fiery love/hate relationship in the way that brothers and sisters do."
Griffiths also reveals more details about the photo: "It occurs just after I've met them, and it's a reaction to being taken by surprise by some threatening characters." Despite being eight episodes into filming the season, Griffiths said that there's no "Bon Temps romance" for her character but she has her eye on Salome, an ancient vampire seductress, who will be played by Italian actress Valentina Cervi. Griffith's described Nora and Salome's relationship as: "They're very close."
Like always, waiting truly does suck!

Race: One part of equation in drawing new lines
As the Fayette County Board of Education prepares to consider closing some schools as a cost-cutting measure and redrawing attendance district lines, one of the known quantities that likely will enter into the final equation will be the racial makeup of each school's student population.
Racial tallies required to be kept by public school systems show that the Fayette system features an overwhelmingly white instructional staff — upwards of 90 percent — teaching a student body that is increasingly minority — 43 percent of the total student population.
Three charts (attached below as pdf files) show the numbers for elementary, middle and high schools by individual school, reflecting numbers from May of this year. (Click on the two attachments at the end of this story to view the elementary, middle and high school charts.)
Figures maintained by the school system show black students represent nearly one of every four students attending Fayette public schools.
The raw data show the Fayette system with a student enrollment that is 56.2 percent white, 23.9 percent black, 8.8 percent Hispanic, 5.8 percent two or more races and 4.6 percent Asian.
The tally of certified staff such as teachers shows school staff at 88.1 percent white, 8.1 percent black and 1.9 percent Hispanic.
The schools' racial makeup mirrors the county's changes in diversity over the years. For example, in 1980, Fayette's non-white population was 4.9 percent of the total, 7.5 percent in 1990 and 14.9 percent in 2000.
By the 2010 Census, Fayette's non-white population registered 28.87 percent.
School systems across the United States routinely track a substantial amount of state and federally-required data. Portions of that data relate to racial and ethnic numbers of students and teachers.
To that end, The Citizen requested the ethnic and racial numbers from the Fayette County School System and compiled those figures to indicate that breakdown on a school-by-school and systemwide basis.
The figures provided by the Fayette County School System were tabulated at the end of the school year on May 25. The data reflects the ethnic and racial breakdown of students per school. Also provided is the breakdown for certified staff, such as teachers, in the elementary, middle and high school categories.
What follows is the report on the numbers reported by the school system to the state and federal governments.
Taken as a whole, the population of Fayette schools as of May 2012 totaled 20,385 students and was made up of 56.2 percent white students, 23.9 percent black students, 8.8 percent Hispanic, 5.8 percent of two or more races, 4.6 percent Asian, .5 percent Alaska Native and American Indian and .1 percent Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
The racial makeup of instructional staff is significantly different from that of the student population.
The same breakdown for certified school system employees such as school teachers shows 88.1 percent white, 8.1 percent black, 1.9 percent Hispanic, 1.2 percent representing two or more races, .4 percent Asian, .23 percent Alaska Native and American Indian and .06 percent Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
A further breakdown was accomplished looking at elementary schools, middle schools and high schools.

You are so right and the reality is that certain people keep the Race issue alive to further their own agenda. Try as we may to avoid it, New Democrat Party continues to use race and other labels put people in groups...and they have succeeded with a large % of the population. We have seen since the 60's how the war on poverty has only enslaved a portion of the population. What was it that LBJ said?
I believe this country was built and will succeed based in part on Rugged Individualism. Treat yourself and others with respect and you will earn respect, regardless of skin color, regardless of your religion, regardless of your sexual orientation. Stick your finger in my eye and I will retaliate with vengeance regardless of the color of your skin, religious affinity, sexual preference, etc. etc.
I believe that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN has the absolute best system in the world EVER. Hopefully we can keep it.
Fayette County Board of Education just had to bring "race" into their business. Why? Why bring it up? Everyone is supposed to be colorless. Going to start redrawing districts. Why? Want to start trying to get more blacks in as teachers? why? Why not let any black teachers get their jobs just like anyone else. If they want on the school board then they can go about it like everyone else. Apparently black people are moving to Fayette County because they like something here. When the fools start trying to jockey voting districts to insure a black representative for that district they are setting up that person and that area as being different and standing out from the rest of the population. You uneducated officials associated with the board of education are concerned with minority and majority percentages and you are labeling these groups. " We want you to have a representative" is this country's most ignorant racist attitude. Look at Clayton County. The political air there is there must be proportionate minority representation on all boards, government jobs, etc., whether qualified or not. Affirmative action at work. Overlook qualifications just redraw the districts! Fayette County is doing its best to get to the same status as Clayton, Dekalb and Fulton, by starting to recognize classes and color of people. Naacp does more to damage the black people than any organization. It sets them apart and demands more than equal status. A black person appointed, elected, or hired with the help of government in any way affiliated with race is automatically lowered in status and respect and they know it. Fayette County in all of its business and schools and other needs to drop and refuse to discuss anything applicable to race. Let the people be recognized by name only.
It is the goal of the state to wipe out individualism, the whole notion of individualism is the antithesis to the state's aims. The state's tool, education, is used to further its aims to spread collectivist thought and an egalitarian society.
The state using distrust of the races, classes and religions; advance these aims. It mandates separation and distrust justifying its actions in the name of "the common good", "justice" and "equality".
State sponsored schools shape our children's minds, teaching the right way to "goodthink". In our schools, unionized marginal instructors that themselves have been taught by unionized marginal instructors, suppress freedom of individual thought and expression. Uniformity of thought and conscience is essential in controlling the population's actions transforming them into sheeple. Incapable of thinking beyond their "education" and common "conscience" they accept and seek the trite costly "solutions" put forth by the state to solve state identified "problems". In the end they enrich the few at the expense of the many.
If the intellectual elite retain power, individual freedom and individualism will someday be a state crime. The Socialist Nazis and the Communist Soviets controlled individualism by declaring those poor souls "insane". If we don't demand our freedom by instituting a smaller representative republic, we have ahead an Orwellian future in America.
While our board of education attempts to make education "fair" and "reflective" of our community, it falls into the typical pattern of state sponsorship of our schools. No one should be surprised by its actions in the future, they will be predictable.
So we should fire the white teachers that have been here for 20 years or more because the demographics of the county is changing??? I guess only minority teachers can teach minority students.
...Public Schools, didn't they?! LOL!
Please explain. They fired all the white teachers in Atlanta? Nothing funny about that. I never heard that before.
According to the Huffington post, a black principal suggested they're unfit to teach to black students.
Philadelphia? Please. I'm sure there will be professionals who will do the right thing for all students in Fayette County. Is there a group in PTC that is dedicated to stirring up hate? Sad. The schools in Fayette County represent their community - and for the most part are integrated. I've never heard a black or white teacher/adminstrator here in FC make such a comment regarding white/black teachers. However - all children need good role models - and FC has them!! No wonder Kevin King left the discussion.. Do you take your coffee black? Well - on to the meeting with my fellow criminal Democrats!
All I did was link to a story from that esteemed liberal newspaper - The Huffington Post.
Anyways are you inferring that the Philadelphia school system is less than stellar?
BTW, was my buddy Kevin at the demo gathering? Come to think of it, was our dear old and infamous liberal guy "basmati" aka "sniffles" present as well?
I could not make the coffee thingy this morning so, till the next one.
If the whites in this county don't like blacks in their schools, then they should just move out. You know like they did in Clayton, DeKalb and most of Fulton. Then we'll finally have some quality education for our children!
Let them go......that will show them!
Fear indeed! What we have here is hate. Right? Pure and simple these people just don't like black people.
In visiting some of the schools in Fayette County, including PTC, I have seen American students sitting side by side in their classrooms learning how to respect one another without too much concern about the color of skin! One has to be carefully taught to hate. All whites don't have the same ideology, all blacks don't have the same ideology. Criminals don't give a darn about ones ideology. The enemy is the criminal - and with the average home price in Fayette County remaining above average, it will not turn into a Clayton. The under 50% of minorities in Fayetteville are just as concerned about their property values and safety as the majority. I would imagine that PTC is not too different.
Somewhere buried in this article has to be the reason it was compiled in the first place. Certainly I must have overlooked it. If we (Fayette County taxpayers) want to maintain a quality school system, the solution (redrawing lines, closures, staff reductions, realignment, concessions, whatever), must be driven by what best serves the educational needs of the students in our county, and is fiscally responsible. Race has no place in that discussion.
Obviously, someone requested it, or someone has a lot of time on their hands and likes to make charts. My guess for this information? The "new" school (after shutdowns and relocations) will have faculty/admin demo ratios that match student demo ratios. This is a preemptive move to let the taxpayers know what is coming.

Why do wine glasses make a ringing sound when you move your finger around the rim? How dose the liquid in the glass effect the sound?
Sliding your finger around the rim of a glass sets up vibrations in the glass. The dominant vibrations are determined by the shape and size of the glass. The addition of liquid changes both the size and shape of the glass. In general, it makes the resonating glass smaller, so the frequency tends to increase with increasing amounts of water. Be aware that all "glasses" are not created equal. In particular "crystal" rings better than common glass. There are several reasons for this. Some are: 1. Crystal is more carefully crafted so that the shape is more precise than common glass. Distortions in the shape tend to produce vibrational interferences, so that the sound is not so "clear". 2. Crystal tends to be thinner than glass. This also contributes to the "cleanness" of the vibrations. Also being thinner reduces dampening of the vibrations so the vibrations tend to last longer. There are other more subtle comparisons, but this gives you some idea.

Interview with Ahmed Sari, Living Rooms Cafe
Ahmed Sari talks to us about his unique gaming cafe concept.
When we heard about The Living Rooms Cafe, we were excited to say the least. A new concept gaming cafe that merges a traditional gaming cafe experience with the comfort of your living room is a first for Dubai. Located at Dubai Festival City right next to Fitness First, The Living Rooms Cafe is divided into lots of gaming stations, each following the theme of a living room filled with sofas, bean bags, a large LCD TV and all the video games and gaming consoles you can desire. You can walk in, select a console of choice (PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii) and the game you want, get comfy on the sofa and start playing your game of choice with your friends. If gaming is not your theme (and let's face it, if you're on this site, it probably is), you can also watch a movie instead or just sit around and have a chat. What makes this place a lot cooler than your living room is that you get a choice of three consoles and a massive sized TV to play it on. You can also order in food and beverages while you play.
We caught up with Ahmed Sari, Managing Partner of The Living Rooms Cafe to talk to him about this unique gaming cafe concept.

On January 21, Microsoft will stake out the future of Windows, giving us a glimpse of what its software will look like on mobile devices. A successor to Internet Explorer may also be in store.
Certainly an acquired taste, The Evil Within is sure to satiate the horror fanatic. For those with an appetite for an investment-heavy exploit through the mind of a madman, The Evil Within is more than capable, even with a few bumps along the way.
Even if you aren't a fan of the Tolkien universe, Shadow of Mordor is a great-looking and ultra-satisfying action game filled with remarkable villains and countless memorable moments.
FIFA 15 is easily the most realistic soccer game out there, even if it at times feels a bit over-the-top.
While the PS4 remains our overall preferred choice in the next-gen console race, the Xbox One's significant first-year course corrections -- including a welcome holiday price drop -- make it a better deal than ever, and a much better bargain than when it first debuted.
A significant update to 2013's game of the year just might be worth a replay.
The game and console maker says it will offer a revamped rewards program to US-based customers "at a later date."
Far Cry 4 borrows a lot from the last game, but it adds enough excitement, fresh ideas and a brilliant new landscape to warrant the return trip.
While it will likely suffice for Assassin's Creed core fans, Unity stumbles throughout and never really finds its footing. Where last year's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag saw the franchise reach new heights, Unity is somewhat of a sidestep that only shines sporadically.
Dragon Age Inquisition isn't perfect -- but pretty close and very easily the best in the series by a wide margin.

- Conference date: 3-7 June 2002
- Location: Berkeley, California (USA)
Measurements of the spectrum of Fe 24+ in the 1.845 Å to 1.885 Å range obtained on the EBIT‐I electron beam ion trap at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were used for determining the radiative lifetime of the 1s2p 1 P 1 excited state. The spectrum contains electric dipole forbidden transitions at 1.855Å ("x") and 1.868Å ("z") whose lineshape is well represented by a Gaussian line profile and is assumed to be due primarily to Doppler and instrumental broadening. The Gaussian contribution is assumed to be the same for all lines in the spectrum. This assumption simplifies the problem when considering a more complex combination of broadening mechanisms. For allowed transitions such as 1s2p 1 P 1 → 1s 2 1 S 0, "w", at 1.850 Å we assume a Voigt profile. In the simplest case this combines both natural (Lorentzian) and Doppler (Gaussian) broadening effects which contribute to the width of the spectral line. With the Gaussian contribution determined from lines "x" and "z", deconvolving the Gaussian from the Voigt profile gives the natural line width. This then is directly related to the radiative lifetime of the 1s2p 1 P 1 excited level.

Camping on Cape Cod
Sand dunes are the quintessential Cape Cod landscape, bypassed by most tourists who make a beeline for the beach. (Kim Grant/LPI)
Summer on ever-popular Cape Cod, Massachusetts conjures up images of traffic-clogged streets and jam-packed beaches. "That's the problem with peninsulas", lamented Dennis Moran, who drove 320km from Russell, Massachusetts for a week of seaside living. "There's only one way in and one way out."
The cape's 900km of coastline fills up quickly, as every year millions of visitors come in search of a sunny spot where they can soak their toes in the ocean waters. The Upper Cape (the part closest to the mainland) offers shorter distances, more development and draws more crowds; while the Lower Cape (or less confusingly, the Outer Cape) requires more time on the road but rewards with pristine landscapes and less people.
If the goal is getting back to nature -- whether beach or dunes or woods -- pitch a tent at one of the Outer Cape's excellent atmospheric camping areas. With easy access to beaches, bicycle trails and other recreational facilities, these campgrounds offer the best of Cape Cod at a fraction of the cost of staying at a hotel or bed and breakfast. Best of all, they guarantee guests a private patch of wilderness.
On the beach
Moran follows two strategies for avoiding the crowds: he comes in June to beat the hordes of holiday-makers that descend on the cape later in summer; and he pitches his tent in the tree-shaded ocean-side camping area North of Highland, which is set on 60 acres of woodland in Truro. As Moran's wife Catherine pointed out, the sites are laid out for maximum privacy, taking advantage of the landscape's natural hills, dales and scrub pine growth.
North of Highland is renowned for its family atmosphere, spacious sites and well-maintained facilities. Owned and operated by the Currier family for nearly 70 years, the camping area has more than 200 sites, plus other facilities like a camp store and a rec room. "These people are incredibly fastidious," Moran asserted. "Have you seen the restrooms at this place? They could do surgery in there."
Good management and ample privacy aside, the real draw to North of Highland is the ocean. Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, the spectacular, secluded Head of the Meadow Beach is a seven-minute walk from the campground. Here, beachcombers wade among the shifting sandbars while bodysurfers ride the waves. The good ship Frances, shipwrecked in 1872, is visible from the shore at low tide. And since the National Seashore stretches some 40 miles along the coast of Cape Cod, it is easy to lose the other sunbathers and surf-riders simply by walking a little bit farther.
In the dunes
Max Imhoff and Eric Jenkins make the three-hour drive to Cape Cod from Portsmouth, New Hampshire every year. Their destination of choice is Dunes' Edge Campground in Provincetown on the Outer Cape. The smallish sites are wooded and shady, but the 100-site campground is surrounded by miles of pristine sand dunes -- also part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. "We've come here for the past three or four years because it's right on the dunes," Imhoff explained. "We pretty much spend all of our time in the sand."
Sand dunes are the quintessential Cape Cod landscape -- an endless vista of sand and sky, sculpted by the wind. Walking trails crisscross the shifting landscape, winding around beach grass, saltspray roses and scrub pine. This natural wonderland is bypassed by most tourists, who make a beeline for the beach, so Dunes' Edge offers the ultimate escape. The campground is not only at the edge of the dunes, it is also at the edge of Provincetown, a historic retreat for artists and writers that has morphed into a hot-to-trot gay and lesbian destination. A 15-minute walk lands campers in the middle of Cape Cod's most vibrant street scene. Spend an evening browsing art galleries, sipping sophisticated cocktails and being wooed by beguiling cross-dressers, then retreat to the tranquillity of camp at the Dunes' Edge (where quiet hours are strictly enforced).
In the forest
About 30 miles south in the town of Brewster on the Outer Cape, would-be campers sign up six months in advance to get a spot to sleep at Nickerson State Park. The 400-plus campsites set on 1,900 acres of land fill up in July and August since sites are spacious, private and affordable, even by camping standards.

About a decade ago, it was important to stake your presence online, as there was quite a land rush to do so. i know i have dozens of accounts all using the id of "jrconlin". Now, it's equally important to hurry up and create something far more critical; you need to create your fake persona.
Facebook, Google, and lots of other services are all pushing for your information. There's arguments that this may help keep John Gabriel in check, but in reality, it's more to do with making you and the network of people you know higher value. Obviously, there are lots of other parties who would be very interested in what you're interested in. And, since you've nothing to hide, right…?
For now, it's impossible to say what your personal information is currently or will be used for. You simply don't know if your actions are raising red flags, or you're being a person of interest. On a less paranoid note, it's also kind of a pain in the ass to go try and read some article and have an idiot marketing weasel hit you up for a "Like" or "Tweet this!" before you've even got so far as the headline.
That's why i have a few fake personaes (No, i'm not going to link to them). These are names i generated, with equally randomly generated information. Naturally, some sites are making it increasingly difficult to create a fake person, and are requiring things like a credit card number or cell phone number which might take a bit more effort to get around.
My fake person gets her own browser (or browser profile for those that support it) where she is logged in to sites various sites long enough for me to get what i want and then leave. i tend to use her when visiting new sites to poke at things and see if that site has earned my trust (or at least provided enough value that i feel i could use it). Most of the time, the answer is "no".
The problem is, i can see that more folks are going to build fake people. Which means that it will become harder and harder for new folks to create new fake people. Fake folks may be "grandfathered" in solely because it's so hard to tell them from the real people. It may well be that parents will bequeath their fake person to their children so that they can have some shred of privacy in the future.
Sorry, folks, but you've not answered why you need to know what i have to hide.
