Never realized how short I am, until picnic on Monday, and looked at pic taken of Y pool director and myself. Adam is tall and chef's hat makes him look even taller. Just barely hit his shoulder. I must be shrinking, eh? Mother was short in statue. My dad was a tall person. Son, thankfully, and grandson, aren't. Which are you considered? |

I am tall and come from a family of tall folks. But my MIL is short, and so my daughter is too. Thank goodness the sons are nice and tall. |
I'm short...5'2"..........my husband is 6'4" Most of my six grandchildren (aged 13-17) are taller than I am. |
I'm only 5'2' so that would be considered short. My daughter is 5'11''. Her paternal grandmother was tall so that must be where she got those genes. My mom was only 5'. |

I am 5' 7" and I think that's considered somewhat tall for a woman. But I'm "undertall." (as in, "I'm not overweight, I'm undertall.") |
I'm tall I guess at 5'6". |
At 5' 9.5", I am medium. Both my sons exceed 6'[ duaghter is 5'4". |

5'8" lucky to be taller than most females in my family. |

I'm 5'8" so that's tall for a girl. Growing up I was always the tallest in my class at school. I hated it but now I am glad I am tall. |
- Posted by georgysmom (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 7:15
I would be happy to be 5' 8" too, Casey. Then I could reach items on the top shelf of the grocery store! I use to be 5' 5 1/2" but have shrunk a little. I guess I would be called average. |

Most of my life I was 5 ft tall but now I have shrunk down to about 4ft10 inches. I wish I was taller...everything is difficult when you are short..even finding a comfortable chair to sit in. Joann |
It was fun to watch my grandparents (friends since the age of 10 and married 63 years when he died) hold hands. He was 6'3" and she was 5'1". I am with you georgysmom, very close to average--5'4". My mom and sister are tall (like Jude31! she and her daughters are surely tall!). Guess they got the tall gene and I got the average of Gran and Stan. |
I'm 5'7. Dad was tall, mom was short. Our sons are 6' and 6'5. |
I'm 5'3 so a bit on the short side. My MIL is short at a little under 5 foot. My father's family is all short. My uncle at his tallest was only 4'10 and he married a woman who is only 5'. It's funny that all three of their kids are taller than I am - not by much but still taller. I would have thought they would have been around to 5 foot mark also. |
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 8:29
I am 5'11". Yet I am the shortest in my family. Personally, I consider 5'9" and up tall for a woman. |
- Posted by sleeperblues (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 8:35
I'm 5'8", my Mom is probably 5'2" now and my Dad was 6'. My daughter is a shrimpie at about 5'3" and my son is 5'11". DH is short at 5'9". |
I'm 5'7". When I was growing up, I hated being so tall, but now I am glad to be this height...because when I start shrinking, I should still be tall enough to reach into the kitchen cabinets. My father was 6'2" (he's now about 6'); my mother was 5'2"; my brother is 6'3". |
I'm five foot one, the shortest in my immediate family of mom and dad, three siblings. Both my daughters tower over me, they both five six. . Hubby is about average, five ten. |

I'm 5'2", or at least I used to be. Probably about 5'1" now. The tallest of the girls in my family is 5'3". I used to think she was tall :-) I had hopes that my daughter would be tall (her father was 6'2") but she's only 5'4". It sure would be nice not to have to pull my step-up out everytime I want something from the top shelf!! It would also be nice to be able to buy a pair of slacks that didn't have to be altered! |
I'm like LuAnn; I'm 5'9" but the shortest in my family. Mom was 5' 4", Dad about 6' 1". Siblings are all 6' to 6' 2". Growing up, I was a foot shorter than my sister. I had two growth spurts; from 4' 9" to 5' 4" at age 13 and then to 5' 9" at age 16. Since I've been both short and tall, I can tell you there are good and bad things about both. Buying clothes is hard when you're tall (I have a 36" inseam; try finding pants!) but reaching things is hard when you're short. My son is 6' 7". |
I've measured 5/ 10 1/2" all my life until the last few years. During yesterday's physical I measured in at 5'8 3/4". That's unbelievable. My dad was tall and mother quite short. |
I always considered myself medium at 5' 6 1/2", not short enough to be petite and not tall enough to be... well.... tall! My husband is 5' 4" so definitely short. Most of the females in his family are tiny. |

I'm short, 5' and shrinking, can't say the same about the hips....... |

5'1" ... mom was 5'3" and dad was 5'6". Hubby is 6'1". His parents were both tall. DD is 5'8" and DS is 6'. I am by far the shortest one in my immediate family. When I was in high school I dated a guy who was 6'8". That was quite a sight! Jodi- |
I was 5'5" now I'm 5'3". My mother was short, my father tall..my two sisters tall and then there was me. My sons are about 6' and my daughter is 5'6". |

I've always been a shorty. I'm shrinking rapidly. I "was" 4 foot 11 1/2 inches but was just recently measured at 4foot 9 inches. At this rate I may completely disappear. LOL Can't reach things, can't find chairs that fit. Luckily though I can purchase clothes in the girls department which usually are cheaper than in the women's. Finding size 4 1/2-5 shoes is almost next to impossible. |
This is most interesting. Thank you Rob for remembering that I am tall(5'9")!LOL I look at the top of a lot of heads. One daughter (Tracy) about 5'10.5" and one (Lu)5'11", other one (Robbie)about 5'6.Son is 5'11", if he stretches, DH (Bob) abput 6'2". My mother was about my height and father was 6'2" and all my siblings tall except one sister. I always considered below 5'4" as short and over 5'7" as tall. Loved to go to Lady Vols basketball games where I looked up, sometimes waaay up, to a lot of the spectators. With so many women in sports that are well over 6 feet I don't feel so tall anymore. Dees, you've got really long legs...I wear a 31" length and thought my legs were long. Used to have trouble finding pants long enough but they make them longer nowadays. One of my granddaughters is not all that tall, but I kid you not, her legs look they go to her armpits. A beautiful girl and definintely "all legs" is a ballet dancer(not proffessional, but tookd dance all through school, including college. Her parents started her in dance because she was so awkward...guess it worked! Actually none of my grandchildren are tall, they belong to the two children that are not tall. I had a gift shop for several years with a friend who was 5'1" and it was a prety good arrangement. I'd do all the tall stuff and she'd do all the low things. Advantages and disadvantages to all heights, but I'm glad I'm tall. After 80+ years I've gotten used to it.-) jude |
I come from a very tall family. I have shrunk at age 90, but measured 5'10" most of my life. One daughter is 6 '2", one is 6 feet. She is the oldest and had a clever remark for guys who asked her how tall she was. Her response "I'm five feet twelve." |
Forgot to mention, Rob, that what I remember about you is your beautiful smile and gorgeous red hair! Never noticed your heigth all that much. jude |
I use to be 5'8" but have shrunk to 5'6". I still consider myself tall. |
I was five eight but now five seven, all my sibs are tall. My daughter is five eleven and sons are six foot and six foot five. Husband is six one. |
I don't know if I am 5'4" or 5'3". I consider myself average in height, but I guess a lot of people would consider me to be short. Depends on who I am standing next to. |

I am 5'4"~~my dad was 6' one brother 6' other 6'6", mom was 5'6". My DH is 5'9" so is my oldest DD, my other DD is 5'2" and my son is 6'2"~~DGS is 6'2", DGD 5'1" and baby girl DGD is only 4 but you can tell she will be tall like her mom;) I think I am average height~~shoe size and clothing size, I feel that way snice I can never find anything in my size it is always sold out. |
I'm 5'7" and have always HATED being this tall. However, I'm the shortest female in my family (my mom is 5'11", maternal grandmother was 5'9", paternal grandmother was 5'8", daughter is 5'8"). I've always wanted to be 5'4", and have explored the option of surgery to remove 3" from my leg bones. I'm not kidding. That's how much I hate my height. |
I am 5'11", always wanted that one more inch to be an even 6'. |
I must be shrinking, as son and granson have trucks, and now I have to be helped into the trucks OR better use a plastic stepstool from Dollar Tree to step into the truck. My mother/ grandmother were both short, as well as my father's mother, and one sister. |
I thought I had shrunk, but it turns out that my long winter robe stretched! I measured my same 5' 6" at my physical. I've been around 120 lbs most of my life and could always find sales 'remainders' in size 8. (Today's size 6, thanks to vanity sizing.) I was delighted to be 5'2" for nearly two years in junior high. Then -- oh no! -- I grew four inches in high school! If lack of talent wasn't enough, that ended my ballet dreams. I'm also 'made wrong' for that -- long torso and short legs. I can often buy pants that don't need shortening in the petite section. I read that the men in the Netherlands are the tallest -- but aren't some Africans extra-tall? |
Guess I am average 5'4", hubby is 5'10". My oldest daughter was 5'4" & my other daughter is 5'9". Now the grandkids are all tall. The oldest is 22 & she is 5'11", next is 20 & he is 6'4", next is 14 & he is 5'9", next is 13 & she is 5'7". Now my great grandson who is a little over 2 years old is already 3'4". The Dr said he is going to be very tall. |
I'm 5'1". Shortest in my family. Mother was 5'7", and her mother was 5'10"(very tall for a woman born in 1900). And...my father was a 6 footer - but his mother(who was my great grandmother), said when I met her - "she's the spittin' image of my Ollie"- who was only 4'10". |
i'm 5 foot 7 |
- Posted by carol_in_california (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 22:29
I am just right! Average....5'6" now.....at age 73. |
I'm 5'6". I think of myself as tall because I grew early. I think I was this height at age 14. My sons are 6' and 5'8". You could be anything in my family. Lots of tall and short genes. Toss of the genetic dice. I used to wish I was shorter but now I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller. |
Glenda, it is all how you think of yourself. :) I am 5' 4 1/2 inches tall. :) Yep, tall! Moni |
- Posted by heather_on (My Page) on Sat, May 18, 13 at 0:11
I'm only about 4'10". Sure wish I could reach things easier. |
I have always been a shorty!! I'm 5'. My hubby is 6'2" and the 3 kids are all taller then Ole Mom!! I have just always adjusted to my needs. It seems like I have a stool in every size. My hubby built a nice step with a handle that we keep in his truck for me to get in and out of. I often have to ask for help at the grocery. Everything I seem to want or need is clear on the top shelf. Can't take my step with me to the grocery. Oh well, I'm short and I just have to live with it. Atleast I'm close to the ground now that my garden needs weeded. See, I "can" find something positive about it. |
I WAS tall, 5'8", but now have shrunk to 5'4" and have to buy petite pants. My husband was 6'8" tall, so two of my 3 daughters are 6'2" tall, while the third (and first born) is only 5'8". Because her husband is about the same height as she, and from a short family, their daughter is only a little over 5' tall, while my other two granddaughters are 5'11". My grandson, son of the shorter daughter, is also about 5'11"'. |

I am 5'7" A late bloomer, I was short in junior high. Didn't finish growing until college. |
shortest in family MY Boys were nice and tall. I'm built like my father. I envy those gals with long necks |
Like Lindsey_CA, I am undertall. :) |
I'm the tallest girl in my family out of my mom and 2 sisters. I'm 5'4". Mom was 5'1", sister's are 5'1" and 5'2or3". And then you have my daughter, 5' 10"! She gets a real kick out of standing beside me and resting her elbow on my head. Haha. She absolutely hated being tall growing up. She was taller than all the girls in her class, and most of the boys. She's better about it now. |
I'm 4'9" and I don't really mind it until I have to reach something...I hate to have to stand on something to reach what I need. I also wear a size 4 1/2 or 5 shoe, and they are hard to find. And every extra pound shows, I have a hard time keeping the weight off, and I always have to shorten my pants! |

I'm 5'9". Used to be that was fairly tall, but now there are lots of women my height and taller. |
LOL, I'm short in my wheelchair and still short when standing up! I'm in the petite category, only 4'9". (^_^) |

Have you ever wondered what happened at those wild and crazy house parties in the 1970s ? Do you want to know what happened when a Beatle, a famous artist and a legendary Jazz musician got together for a party held at business man Allen Klein's house? Well you're about to find out.
In this latest thrilling installment of our Hanging Out series we have some rare, rough and ready home video footage from 1971 showing John Lennon and Miles playing a bit of basketball , Yoko Ono locking lips with her hubby, the famous Rolls Royce and Andy Warhol and the ex Beatle flicking through some snaps.

Best Split Board Out There
The Mojo is much lighter than previous Voile models! It has a more powerful edge when in ski mode due to both sides of the "ski" having a caped edge. Also the binding pucks are much easier to set up now with the included puck tool. This tool will take hours off of getting your stance dialed in! It is good to size up slightly in split boards but don't go too large. 2 cm is usually enough. If you are not riding deep snow you may not need to size up at all.

RE: That chair that I ebonized last summer (Follow-Up #20)
posted by: johnmari on 03.07.2008 at 02:32 pm in Home Decorating Forum flyleft, if you have completely naked wood, you can use an alcohol-based DYE and it will neither raise the grain nor rub off (although for durability it's best to topcoat it). TransTint is one brand I've used - DH does woodcarving from time to time and for a while we had a bit of a "thing" for dyeing his carvings bright colors. :-) Arti Toymaker's Dye is completely nontoxic and even food-safe (if used with a food-safe finish like a "salad bowl finish"), although it's water-mixed and so will likely raise grain which has to be sanded back down. Supposedly General Finishes' water-based dye does not raise the grain, but I have not used it. In running a Google search for someone else recently, I came across a nontoxic, gel-format dye from a company called Clearwater, but I haven't seen it IRL.
Interesting pieces, Spanky. Back in college I had a chair much like the one you ebonized, although yours looks much better. Mine had the original orange upholstery, urk! NOTES: <none>

RE: Okay, so how about deep brown/black espresso cabinet color? (Follow-Up #33)
posted by: johnmari on 03.07.2008 at 03:02 pm in Home Decorating Forum Gosh denali, I'm blushing! I always feel sooooo good when I can be an "inspiration" for someone.
teesyl2, we did not use a tinted primer, we used plain old Kilz primer and two coats of paint and coverage was just dandy. I chose BM Regal semigloss because that's what most people seem to like for cabinetry and it wasn't too shiny, but I think satin would be just fine if you like the level of sheen. Polyurethane is unnecessary and can actually lift or bubble the paint. (Remember, when you ask for it at the store, ask for Bittersweet Chocolate or they probably won't know what you're talking about.) Remember also when painting cabinets, put cabinet door bumpers on the inside of all doors and behind the drawerfronts, because the doors and drawers can stick together until the paint has completely cured which can take a few days to a few weeks depending on the weather, the humidity, thickness of the coats, yadda yadda. With the Bittersweet Chocolate the clear rubbery bumpers were too visible on the doors and too thick behind the drawerfronts, so I picked up some of the plain old-fashioned dark brown felt "dots" at the hardware store. They disappeared right into the paint color and were thin enough that the drawers closed properly but didn't stick together. NOTES: put cabinet door bumpers on the inside of all doors and behind the drawerfronts, because the doors and drawers can stick together until the paint has completely cured which can take a few days to a few weeks depending on the weather, the humidity, thickness of the coats, yadda yadda.

In what order do things get done ?...
posted by: ani_t on 09.01.2007 at 11:57 pm in Kitchens Forum I finally decided on the cabinet maker, havent finalized the design (I am going to be doing it myself first and then she will use her software to put it in place) The girl is going to have a baby soon and I dont want to stress her out asking her to change the design with a gazillion options!
This is my idea of the order of execution of tasks. I am going to put this into some sort of project plan and work with that.
What huge thing did I miss ?

Emergency personnel are on the scene of a crash and shootout with police involving the driver of a black Cadillac with Colorado plates in Decatur, Texas, Thursday, March 21, 2013. The driver led police on a gunfire-filled chase through rural Montague County, crashed his car into a truck in Decatur, opened fire on authorities and was shot, officials said. Texas authorities are checking whether the Cadillac is the same car spotted near the home of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, who was shot and killed when he answered the door Tuesday night.

I would recommend the Suzuki Promaster for aluminum combs and the Bushmans,special 20's and Suzuki bluesmasters for plastic comb harps. I own a promaster and a meisterklasse and i agree with Concho that the promaster gives you more bang for your buck.If your just beginning though i would suggest you stay in the 20 to 30 dollar range.

Suleyman Karimov, Sportsman/Philanthropist
December 1, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Russia's Suleyman Karimov is a member of the Federation Council of Russia (the upper chamber of the Russian parliament), a businessman, an investor and an active philanthropist. He has a degree in financial accounting and economics from Dagestan State University. And he is currently listed as number 118 on Forbes' list of the World's Billionaires, with a reported net worth of $7.8 billion. A self-made investor, Kerimov earned his success by building a diverse investment portfolio made up of both public and private interests. And his charitable organization, the Suleiman Kerimov Foundation, has directed over $60 million to charitable causes.
Most prominently, in January 2011, he purchased the Russian Premier League football team FC Anzhi Makhachkala. And this past August, Karimov made a huge splash by acquiring Samuel Eto'o and making him the highest paid footballer in the world. Eto'o's salary is estimated at €20 million ($AU27 million) net per season, eclipsing the estimated €12 million ($AU17.4 million) that Cristiano Ronaldo earns at Real Madrid and the €10.5 million ($AU15.2 million) that Lionel Messi is paid by Barcelona. After a week of negotiations, the transfer fee was reportedly set between €25 and €27 million ($36 and $39 million). The deal also put the former Inter and Barcelona striker ahead of the NBA's highest-paid player, Kobe Bryant ($AU25.2 million). The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez still makes more with his $32 million this season.
From 1999 to 2007, Kerimov served as a Deputy of the State Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian Parliament. He was Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Physical Education, Youth and Sports and also a member of the State Duma's Security Committee. He now serves as a member of the Financial Markets and Monetary Circulation Committee.
Kerimov is married and has three children. A lifelong athlete and supporter of youth sports, Kerimov currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Wrestling Federation. He has served in this position since the board was created in 2006.
On November 26, 2006, in Nice, France Kerimov was seriously injured in a road accident on the Promenade des Anglais. He suffered severe burns from this accident followed by prolonged recovery. Following his car crash and resulting medical treatment for severe burns, Kerimov donated €1 million to the non-profit organization Pinocchio. The non-profit organization, which works with children suffering from burns, has an annual budget of between €250,000-300,000.
In 2007, Kerimov founded The Suleiman Kerimov Foundation with the vision to help lives by investing in initiatives that strengthen communities and help those in need. The foundation supports projects all over the world, with particular emphasis on Russia and Russian communities. Between its 2007 and 2009, the foundation made donations totaling over $164 million in support of worthwhile projects and causes.
On December 17, 2010, it was announced that Kerimov would spend $100 million on the construction of an advanced comprehensive school west of Moscow "for educating forward-minded children from different social groups." The school is to include a modern sports complex with a swimming pool, a skating-rink, a giant dance floor, as well as a residential area for gifted children from the provinces.

By Syed Aslam
Vostok-1 launch, 12 April 1961
Kerim Kerimov was born in the year 1917 in a Muslim family of an engineering background in Baku, Azerbaijan then part of the Russia. After graduation from the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute in 1942, he continued his education at Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy, where he committed himself to design and development of rocket systems. An expert in rocket technology, he worked during World War II on the inspection and acceptance of the famous Katyusha rocket launchers. His work was honored with the Order of the Red Star. After his retirement in 1991 he worked as a Consultant to the Main Space Flights Control Center of the Russian Federal Space Agency. General Kerim Kerimov died March 29, 2003 in Moscow, at the age of 85.
Kerim Kerimov was one the great rocket scientist of the Soviet Union and he is considered as the father of Soviet Rocketry. He was one of the lead architects behind the string of Soviet successes that stunned the world from the late 1950s – from the launch of the first satellite, the Sputnik in 1957. The first human spaceflight, Yuri Gagarin's 108-minute trip around the globe aboard the Vostok in 1961, the first fully automated space docking of Cosmos 186 and Cosmos 188 in 1967. He also involved in building the first space stations, the Salyut and Mir series from 1971 to 1991. Kerim Kerimov was involved in Soviet aeronautics from its inception. After World War II, Kerimov worked on the Soviet inter-continental ballistic missile program, rising by 1960 to head the Missile Weapons Program. Along with other rocketry experts, he was sent to Germany in 1946 to collect information on the German V-2 rocket. In 1964 he became head of the newly formed Central Directorate of the Space Forces of the USSR Ministry of Defense. Following the death of Sergei Korolev in 1966, Kerimov was appointed Chairman of the State Commission on Piloted Flights and remained Chairman for 25 years . He supervised every stage of development and operation of both manned space complexes as well as unmanned interplanetary stations for former Soviet Union. Kerimov was also the Head of Chief Directorate of the Ministry of General Machine Building in 1965-1974, which was engaged in creation of rocket systems.
As in the case of other Soviet space pioneers, the Soviet authorities for many years refused to disclose Kerimov's identity to the public. At televised space launchings, cameras always focused on the cosmonauts and not the person to whom they reported their readiness to carry out the mission. Kerimov was a secret general, he was always hidden from the camera's view; only his voice was broadcast. Until 1987, even Azerbaijanis did not know that the man holding the Number One position in aerospace was an Azerbaijani Muslim. His name remained a secret until era of glasnost in Soviet Union, when he was first mentioned in Pravda newspaper in 1987.
He wrote a book; The Way to Space, a history of the Soviet space program in which he describes the entire birth and development of the aerospace industry of the former Soviet Union. Kerim Kerimov was a Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of Stalin, Lenin and State prizes of the Soviet Union..

Anyone have a solid read on when Backstabber would get the out-of-arc bonus against the big ships?
The Falcon has only one firing arc, and the turret allows it to attack anything either in or out of its firing arc. So I think that as long as Backstabber's out of the forward firing arc, you'd get the extra die.
The Firespray is a little trickier… The rules insert describes it's option to fire to the rear as being an auxillary firing arc - hence, still a firing arc. So Backstabber would need to be out of both firing arcs in order to get the bonus.
Does that seem right?

Stress and Cardiovascular Disease
Stress can be positive or negative, and refers to any situation that poses a challenge or threat to our wellbeing. Stress causes physical symptoms that slow healing and cause strain to the cardiovascular system. These include:
- Increased heart rate
- Higher blood pressure
- Shrinking blood vessels
Chronic stress can lead to the development of coronary artery disease and acute stressors may trigger a cardiac event.
But stress can be manageable. Experts on the Cardiac Behavioral Medicine team help patients learn how to react to stressful events in a more positive way, reducing symptoms and promoting healing behaviors.
Patients with stress related to their cardiovascular disease may also experience depression or anxiety, and may benefit from changing lifestyle behaviors. We also offer guidance on recovery from a cardiac event and help with preparing for and recovering from surgery.
Team Approach to Cardiac Behavioral Medicine
Kim L. Feingold, PhD, director of Cardiac Behavioral Medicine, Gail M. Osterman, PhD, and Paul Goetz, PhD, specialize in helping patients and their families adjust to a diagnosis and cope with challenges throughout the course of treatment.

Dodge City Public Schools, one of the largest districts in Kansas, currently supports more than 1,200 iPads for its student and teacher population. The district's Board of Education recently voted to expand the initial deployment to 6,500 devices by 2014.
The district's iPad initiative began more than a year ago with a handful of teachers using iPads in the classroom. Additional classrooms were added to the program every few months along with ongoing teacher, administrator, and parent training throughout the process.
In September, Ross Elementary School (a mere 2 1/2 miles from the famed Boot Hill and Gunsmoke Street) piloted the 1:1 initiative, with every student having access to an iPad.
"Everybody is really excited and keep asking daily when we get the iPads," Amy Eakin, Assistant Principal at Ross said at a recent Board of Education meeting.
The school planned two separate after-school sessions in both Spanish and English so parents can explore the devices with some hands-on stations.
The current 1,200 iPads are distributed as follows: eight carts at the Dodge City Unified School District's high school and middle schools and two carts at each of its elementary schools.
(Sign up for the free Tablets in Education newsleter for more news, trends, apps and advice)
More than a paper replacement
Like many districts, Dodge City reviewed their options before adopting tablet computers as the learning device of choice for their students. While saving time and money ranked high on the administration's lists, it was the ability to use the tablets for real-time engagement that sold the District on the devices.
For example, teachers can plan curriculum for the upcoming six-week period using their iPad and then deliver student assessments online. While students take exams on an iPad or desktop computer, teachers track their accuracy in real-time on their iPads.
When exams are complete, teachers use a custom-made database developed using FileMaker software to filter test results across multiple variables such as areas of knowledge weaknesses and strengths.
Teachers then view the results in charts, graphs or lists, in order to spot trends and target students who need assistance in specific topics.
Integrating the tablets with the rest of the world
Ray Wipf, executive director of information management for the district, insisted the program needed a flexible set of software programs to ensure administrators kept tabs on the tablet computers and that they could function outside of the world of the iPad.
Wipf consolidates data from a wide variety of sources. For instance, he uploads spreadsheet-based assessment scores and reports from a statewide database that indicate student performance. He brings in student and human resources information from Skyward, the district's Student Management System.
Standard curricula are imported from CDs, converted to PDF format and stored within the FileMaker database, eliminating the need for teachers to carry bulky binders full of paperwork. The databases are integrated with Google Apps so that teachers have easy access to resources such as instructional coaches and sample lesson plans presented as Google Forms.
The District staff uses the iPads to generate and store a wide variety of ongoing information, from administrative forms to professional development applications, as well as delivery and scoring of student achievement and standardized tests.
The iPads are managed using Casper Suite device management software in conjunction with its FileMaker database to manage and track the iPads.
"It took a lot of effort to get to where we are today with delivering assessments and working out all of the bugs," said Wipf. "I'm now looking at what we learned last year and modifying the program to make it even better."

The European Union may shortly accuse a number of banks of allegedly attempting to collude in setting the euro interbank offered rate, or Euribor, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people briefed on the investigation.
At least a dozen banks are being probed, and investigators are reviewing whether Credit Agricole SA (ACA), Societe Generale SA (GLE), HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA) and Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) worked with Barclays Plc (BARC) to manipulate Euribor, the newspaper said. Barclays has already acknowledged its role, while the other four banks declined to comment, the WSJ reported.
Regulators in markets including the U.S. and U.K. will probably press more banks to admit their attempts to rig the rate, the newspaper said. Efforts by the banks to influence Euribor by submitting incorrect data and collaborating with each other were widespread, the Journal reported, citing documents and interviews with banking and regulatory officials.
Telephone calls and e-mails seeking comment from Joyce Lam, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for Credit Agricole, and Peggy Chung, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for Societe Generale, went unanswered. Gareth Hewett, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for HSBC, and Michael West, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for Deutsche Bank, also didn't reply to calls or e-mails seeking comment.
British regulators this year said they'd found at least 58 instances of Barclays trying to rig the Euribor rate between 2005 and 2009, the newspaper said. Traders at the U.K. lender tried to coordinate through e-mails and instant messages with at least four other banks, which haven't been named by regulators, the newspaper said.
Some banks that submitted data used to set Euribor also had trading operations that were speculating on small movements in the rate, the Journal reported.

Hello, I recently planted a a butterfly garden out by my vegetable garden. So far I have Joe Pye Weed, a variety of Sedum, a butterfly flower, obedient plant, milkweed, cone flower, pincushion plant and a few types of butterfly weed. I also have two water dishes and a butterfly house. What would you suggest I add to my garden? (In separate gardens I also have parsley, dill, pentas and lantana for butterflies and bees) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I love to grow zinnias for their color and great nectar supply all summer. Others to add would be asters, various types of liatris, penstemon, salvias, more herbs such as oregano, chives and lavender, Agastache, annual and perennial monarda, and many more. Martha |

Thank you! I do have zinnias, salvias, oregano, and a bunch of lavender spread throught the yard. As far as host plants, I have milkweed, dill and fennel for next year. What are some more host plants I should plant for zone 6? |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 22:51
See this forum's FAQ for an article about butterfly houses. |
Asters and snapdragons are host to some butterflies, but I don't remember which ones. Virginia Creeper is a host to some beautiful moths. If you search on Google you can find lists of butterflies in your area and their host plants. Many use larger plants such as willows, Black Cherry, Spicebush, Sassafras, etc. something eats holes in my Joe Pye Weed. Hope that helps. Though, providing nectar sources that are available throughout the warmer seasons is equally important. Martha |

Asters feed Pearly Crescents; Snapdragons and English Plantain feed Buckeyes. Pussytoes, Cudweed and Everlasting attract American Ladies, and Hollyhocks, Thistles and Mallows attract Painted Ladies. Legumes, such as Senna and Cassia (esp Pigeon Pea), will attract Sulfurs. Anything in the Mustard Family (Brassicaceae) will attract Cabbage Whites (introduced from Europe) and a variety of native Mustard Whites. |

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Nettles or False Nettles and lot of Violets in the shady parts of your garden will bring Red Admirals, Commas and various Frittilaries. |

When you say you have a butterfly flower, do you mean a butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii)? If not, then you definitely need to add one. |
Rue is a great host plant for Black Swallowtails and if you're lucky, Giant Swallowtails. It grows to about 3' tall and is a very pretty little bush. Do read the warnings about sensitivity/rash though. I have never had a problem, but some do. If you plant it, make sure to follow the advice of pruning in early spring so it will bush out. I've let mine go and they've become quite leggy. I plan to cut them way back next spring, and hope they do ok. I'll plant some new ones at the same time for insurance :) |

Thanks for all of the advice! I do have buddelias as well as gaura lindheimeri |
Sounds to me like you have already got a wonderful butterfly haven set up. Martha |
I agree with Martha. You are doing great! Just be observant and you will surely learn more what works best for you. Congrats on an already great job! Liz |

Thanks everyone! I was lucky enough to find two small spicebush starts at a local metro park for $4 each! Very excited. I was hoping to get all of my planting finishes up this fall so it's all ready for spring but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until then to buy rue or start from seeds. I also want to add more milkweed but that too will have to wait until spring as everyone around here is sold out for the season. I do have a question. We are organic gardeners as is our neighbor to the left. The rest, not so much. How much will neighboring gardeners effect the butterflies coming to our yard? I really appreciate all of the advice! Gardening is addictive and, at 25, I don't know a lot of people who share my enthusiasm for it besides my gardening family :-) |
As far as your neighbors, you are lucky to have at least one organic person around. The butterflies and other insects will find your gentle oasis and enjoy it. Of course, they may wander into the chemicals nearby, but all you can do is set an example and share the beauty of nature that you attract and explain to every one you can what you do and why. Martha |
Be sure and find out if the town you live in sprays/fogs for mosquitoes. If so, you will not be able to have host plants within 20 - 30' of the street unless you cover them on "spray nights". If you don't, butterflies might lay eggs, but all the cats will die a day after they eat their egg shell and perhaps start munching on the host plant. Where I live, my "spray night" is Thursday. I quickly learned to throw an old sheet over the host plants before dusk to keep the spray off the plants. In the morning I'd throw the sheet in the washer so it was ready for the next spray night. Now I only have host plants in the back yard so I don't have to bother with the sheets. I still worry that the butterflies that nectar on my front garden flowers are ingesting the spray though :( |
MyRunoff.org's Rain Garden Bot can suggest butterfly garden plants for you based on your color, wildlife, watering, and height preferences. It could help you add to your garden. |

DVD review
Big Beach Boutique II
The first gig since Castlemorton to make front-page news, Fatboy Slim's massively over-attended 2002 beach-front hoedown was greeted as armaggedon by the Daily Mail but, as this film shows in fact consisted of a bald man in a Hawaiian shirt playing 19 records very loud. Watch 200,000 ecstatic bodies moving in unison to "Born Slippy", though, and you'll realise the Mail had a point. Goosebump-inducing.

The Oscars: Too Little, Too Late for Clayton?
By S.T. VanAirsdale
I wondered here the other day if the gang behind Juno had corrected enough of its backlash in time to rally (or if they even needed to rally) before Oscar polls closed on Tuesday. A sudden surge of interest in Michael Clayton, however, suggests it may have harnessed late momentum as Oscar's underdog du jour. First came Joel Stein's oft-cited George Clooney cover story in Time, with an accompanying sidebar showcasing the star's modesty politics, as refined as ever. ("If [Michael Clayton] has a shot at anything, it's best supporting actress with Tilda Swinton," he said—before choosing Amy Ryan for Gone Baby Gone.) The crossover continued Friday on the New York Times's City Room blog—infrequently an oracle for movie commentary—which noted its authenticity and flavor in naming it the best New York film of the decade.
It all came around this morning when Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan think-pieced his way to an indirect Clayton endorsement:
A victory for this smart and suspenseful legal thriller would be more than a vote for the only one of the five to be distributed by an actual studio. It would be a vote for a beautifully remodeled classic studio picture, an impressively updated version of the kind of movie "they just don't make anymore." … In voting for Michael Clayton, Hollywood would in essence be voting for itself, voting for thoughtful, adult studio films crafted in the heart of the system. I can't think of any other movie-making constituency that needs more help right now.
Aside from Turan's delusion that Fox Searchlight, Miramax, Paramount Vantage, and Focus Features—affiliates of 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, and Universal, respectively—lack studio wherewithal or influence in supporting their own nominees, I think he's on to something here: While I've already called my shot for Clayton writer-director Tony Gilroy to sneak in for Best Original Screenplay, maybe Clayton's general inconspicuousness is its most formidable attribute. In earning eight Oscar nominations yet laying relatively low in the month that followed, Warner Bros. delivered an unspoken (and, really, quite elegant) pitch that a vote for Clayton is a vote for unconventional wisdom. Which, if previous winners from The Silence of the Lambs to Crash and even the bloody, nihilist Hong Kong gangster flick remake The Departed are any indication, is its own reward. And when the Academy wins, everybody wins.

Johnson sticks with Brown as Scotland skipper
- Published: 28/01/2013 at 11:44 PM
- Online news:
Kelly Brown has been retained as Scotland captain by interim coach Scott Johnson for the Six Nations opener against England at Twickenham on Saturday, it was announced Monday.
Kelly Brown runs through the Tonga defence at Pittodrie in Aberdeen in November. Brown has been retained as Scotland captain by interim coach Scott Johnson for the Six Nations opener against England at Twickenham on Saturday, it was announced Monday.
The 52-times capped Brown retained the role despite leading Scotland to a hat-trick of defeats in all three of their end-of-year internationals in November, including the shock loss to Tonga that led to Andy Robinson's resignation as head coach.
However, Australian coach Johnson said he wanted the Saracens forward to continue in the position for the Calcutta Cup clash.
"It was right and proper that the coaches considered captaincy at the same time as we were looking at selection of our squad for the England game," Johnson explained Monday in a Scottish Rugby Union statement.
"We believe Kelly has the qualities we're looking for to captain Scotland. Captaincy is about deed in my book, not Churchillian oratory, and the knowledge and experience that Kelly brings to the Test match arena is good for this team.
"We are also looking at our leadership group and I'll be naming two vice-captains in the team that we announce tomorrow (Tuesday)."
Brown missed out on captaining Scotland in last year's Six Nations due to a leg injury suffered shortly before the tournament and has not played against England since the corresponding match at Twickenham two years ago.
"As I said back in November, it's a huge honour to captain Scotland," Brown said. "The job now, though, is to work with all the other players in the squad to deliver a performance to make the country proud this weekend.
"It's a while since I've played against England. I missed out through injury in last year's Six Nations and I was sidelined during the Rugby World Cup match in Auckland as well (when England beat Scotland), so I'm really raring to go," Brown added.
Johnson, however, refused to confirm Brown as Scotland captain beyond this weekend's match.
This, although the Australian didn't say so publicly, is down to the fact that Brown's place in the starting side is far from guaranteed.
The 30-year-old played in all three back-row positions in November but faces competition for the No 8 shirt from a revitalised Johnnie Beattie while Alasdair Strokosch and Al Kellock are alternative loose-forward options.
Brown, however, played down any threat to his position by saying: It's not about that. It's not about me, it's about the team. Yes I want to play well, but by playing well that will enable the team to be successful.
"That's what all of the guys in the group have to buy into. It's all about the team."
Scotland, who finished with the wooden spoon in last season's Six Nations, have not won at Twickenham since 1983.

I have some greek oregano that I grew from seed (third season). I hadn't picked any of it this season until yesterday. It already has white flowers on it but I thought I'd try it anyway. The flavor was so incredibly bitter and sharp. It actually made my tongue feel numb. It was so strong, I didn't use any in the tomato sauce I was making for fear of ruining it.
I've used this oregano before and its never tasted this strong. Is this because it was in flower or its an older plant or possibly some other reason? |

Hot & dry lately? The prevailing thought here is that a plant is much stronger tasting when it has been stressed and not so full of extra water. So you can: Try drying the oregano first. That may mellow some of the taste. Young leaves have more mild flavor than the big mature ones. And try a little extra water to the plant. See if that makes a difference too. FataMorgana |
Yes to the hot and dry. We only just got rain this weekend after at least 2 weeks of hot and more hot! I don't normally water my perennial herbs unless they are looking limp. Thanks for the input Fatamorgana. I'll dry some as I'm curious now to see what it would be like. |
Don't be afraid of using it as it will make the best sauces now just don't use as much & check the taste. It is milder early in the season & with frequent rain. I think mine gets stronger when dried, so not sure what you'll discover. |

Game 12 Recap – Deja-Moose; Devils Sweep the Weekend, Beat Penguins 3-1
Roughly 30 hours after the Devils beat the Penguins 3-1 in Newark, history repeated itself. Sure, the arena was different…and the goal-scorers were different…heck, even the goalies were different. But the New Jersey Devils (8-1-3) pulled off another 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins (8-5-0) to win their fifth straight and increase their lead on the Atlantic Division, and the Eastern Conference.
Sunday's game got off to a much different start than Saturday afternoon, with Ryan Carter and Robert Bortuzzo dropping the gloves just 4 seconds into the opening frame. Can't really blame the guys for an early fight, this is the third time the teams faced each other within 9 days and tensions were bound to be high, with first place in the Atlantic Division on the line. After the fight, the Penguins quickly got to work trying to break through the Devils defense and Johan Hedberg. Moose was having none of it, though, stopping all 10 shots that came his way during the first period. Tomas Vokoun, however, was not so lucky. At 13:06 of the first period, David Clarkson and Patrik Elias broke into the Penguins zone on a 2-on-1 with Engelland trailing back for the Penguins. Clarkson carried the puck in, and cut across the middle to seal off Engelland and fire a wrist shot over Vokoun's shoulder to give the Devils a 1-0 lead. Despite being outshot 10-4 in the first, the Devils were looking good and were hoping to repeat Saturday's success.
The second period started with the Penguins finishing off a power-play opportunity, the majority of which had run off at the end of the first period. The Penguins were unable to capitalized and for the next 10 minutes, both teams traded scoring chances, including a beautiful effort by Bernier on Vokoun's doorstep with his shot trickling just wide of net after getting through the Penguins goalie. At 11:27 of the second, Kovalchuk would extend the Devils lead to 2, as he and Henrique rushed the Penguins zone on a 2-on-1 and Kovalchuk fired a snap shot that found it's way through Vokoun. At this point, the frustration in the Penguins was showing, and they started making some mistakes. The biggest of which came from James Neal, who was called for Cross-Checking Steve Bernier. This would be the only penalty called against the Penguins during the game, but the Devils would take full advantage of it. Standing in front of the net, Clarkson was able to hammer home a rebound from Patrik Elias' point shot to give the Devils a 3-0 lead at the 13:20 mark of the second period.
Stephen Gionta would be called for slashing to end the second period, and the power-play would carry over into the final frame of the game. James Neal would make up for his earlier penalty by scoring a power-play goal just 15 seconds into the 3rd. It started to look like it would be bad news for the Devils; The fans were back into the game, the Penguins had new life, and they had finally found a way to break through Moose. But once again, Moose was having none of it. Multiple times in the third period, he stood on his head to stop the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and James Neal to keep the score 3-1 in favor of the Devils. As was the case on Saturday, this would be the final score, and the Devils would leave Pittsburgh with yet another 2 points.
The win gave the Devils 19 points on the season (out of a possible 24) and their fifth win in a row. David Clarkson also tallied goals number 8 and 9 during the game, tying him for second in the league, tailing only Thomas Vanek of the Bruins with 11. Ilya Kovalchuk seems to be making his way out of his scoring slump as he tallied another goal, and Johan Hedberg (2-0-1, 0.65 GAA, 0.973 Sv%) put on yet another stellar performance between the pipes. Despite giving up another goal while short-handed, something the Devils have prided themselves on not allowing, it was the only goal the Devils allowed so I'm sure they're not too upset about it. All-in-all, the Devils are playing some of the best hockey they have in a long time, reminiscent of their play during the 2012 Playoffs. It's exciting hockey to watch, and more importantly, it's working for them. The Devils will look to extend their winning streak to six when the Carolina Hurricanes visit Tuesday evening.
Three Stars of the Game:
3 – James Neal (1 G) - The lone goal-scorer for the Penguins.
2 – David Clarkson (2 G, 1 PPG) – What can I say that hasn't already been said about Clarkson? He's scored 9 goals in 12 games…ridiculous.
1 – Johan Hedberg (1 GA, 23 Saves, 0.958 Sv%) – MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

"These cookies were delicious!! And so very easy to make. Only change would be to use a disposable pastry dough bag so that cookies can be dispensed evenly and nicely. I didn't have one so I used a spoon, the cookies have to be really set apart from each other as the dough spreads. My new all time Christmas favorite!"

I generally don't spend much on shampoo. I never would have tried this shampoo if it weren't supplied by the hotel I was staying at this weekend. My hair is virgin, with some grays, shoulder length, fine, very abundant with a wave/curl and tends normal to dry. It also tangles easily has a tendency to frizz. I found this shampoo to be very good to my hair. It lathered up on the second shampoo. The fragrance is a very natural, herbal, citrus. Rinses out clean and leaves my hair feeling clean, refreshed and moisturized. I also used the matching conditioner and was pleased at how it conditioned my hair and rinsed clean. Can't believe I was able to comb through it without using my Tangle Teazer. After using it twice, I ordered full size.

This cleans hair well, but does not lather too much. I had to use more than I would have liked to get all my roots covered. I would not mind this so much if the corresponding conditioner did not suck so much, thereby making the pairing of the two useless. This is just an average shampoo, nothing spectacular for the price.

I love love love the fragrance of this shampoo. It has an intoxicating good scent. It makes me so happy every time I wash my hair. It is a good shampoo but a little drying to hair. but I still love it so

I also tried this at the Hilton. It does not strip my color as much as other shampoos. I will buy this but I have so many other things to use up. This does not irritate my scalp, which is a minor miracle for me!

I'm so disappointed! I bought this shampoo based on the glowing reviews here and elsewhere on the internet. I expected it to give me soft, fluffy, healthy and shiny looking hair but as I was rinsing it out in the shower my hair felt... squeaky? I continued with the conditioner, hoping it would remedy the dryness and tangles I felt, but as I was blowdrying my hair felt anything but mega-rich. My hair didn't look horrible, but it wasn't as shiny as it can be with certain shampoos, and actually looked a bit frizzy in the back. Reading the label, I was disappointed that it contains SLS and is made in China. It has a nice unisex scent, almost like men's cologne, so I could see this working for both sexes. However, at this price point I don't think this is worth it. If you're looking for a similar shampoo with biotin, try the Organix thick & full shampoo and conditioner (Dark purple bottle, gold cap)- my hair likes that one much better! For reference I have fine, slightly wavy, non-color treated hair.

Just like the other I came across this gem at The Hilton and it was incredible. Generally I use Matrix Biolage shampoo which worked well but not as well as PTR, I needed less product of PTR to clean my hair of all the buildup on my scalp and it moisturized/hydrated better than the biolage.

Full disclosure -- I didn't purchase the PTR Mega Rich Shampoo. I stayed at the Hilton this past week and they supply it to their guests in the rooms. Boy, not all shampoos are created equal. I was blown away by how soft and shiny it left my hair, but didn't lose any body. It's tricky to find shampoo that doesn't flatten my straight hair, and keeps it balanced and moisturized. Since I color my hair, it has a tendency to get dry. I've tried Pureology and lots of other high end shampoos and conditioners, but this one really impressed me. I strongly recommend it and will be purchasing it after using up the samples!

My grandmother bought this for me when she ordered some for herself, and I am so glad she did! This has easily become my HG daily shampoo! I still love my B&b Gentle shampoo, but this beats it. The nice ingredients, the lovely soft smell, and it leaves my hair clean but moisturized and not stripped. My hair is always so shiny when I use this, and people compliment it when I use it! One woman told me that she "couldn't keep her eyes from not looking at how great my hair looked!" It's pricey, but you don't need much, and it's cheaper than Bumble and Bumble!

I tried the PTR Mega-Rich Shampoo & Conditioner when I was in a hotel in Boston and thought my hair seemed waaaay softer when using it. Then recently my boyfriend brought it home from one of the hotels he'd stayed at while on business and once again, my hair felt verrrry soft while using it. I will definitely be buying both the shampoo & the condition in full size.... really nice stuff...
I tried this for 6 days during a vacation - PTR was the toiletry kit provided byt the otel (nice!). Meanwhile, the Mega-Rich shampoo seemed to be a pretty basic, pleasant smelling shampoo that works fine on my color-treated , fine, dry hair. It did NOT seem to strip my color, and was not drying. I might actually buy a full sized bottle ($18 for 8.5 ounces on the PTR site). Not bad.

Pension and retiree debt in the county of Marin's pension system amounts to $7,627 for every household in Marin, the fifth-highest tab among 20 California counties with similar pension programs, according to a new statewide study.
The California Public Policy Center, which bills itself as a financial educational foundation, compiled unfunded retirement liabilities for Marin and 19 other California counties that have independent pension prorgrams. Its conclusion: When all liabilities, including pension bonds and retiree health costs are calculated, the picture is "ominous."
"Even using the official rates of return of 7.5 percent, when you combine all retirement commitments these counties have made, the counties' combined funding ratio is only 60 percent," according to Ken Churchill, among authors of the study.
Marin's program is about 61 percent funded when all retiree pension and health obligations are added up, a study finding that affirms an Independent Journal report last month. "Particularly troubled counties include Merced at 47 percent, Kern at 55 percent, Sonoma at 59 percent, Orange and Contra Costa at 60 percent, Marin at 61 percent, San Joaquin at 62 percent," the policy center asserted.
What's more, the liability levels are based on the optimistic expectation that pension investments will benefit from stock market gains of 7.5 percent annually, on target over the past century but short of the experience over the past decade.
Average return projections of 7.5 percent "haven't been achieved over the past 12 years," said Bill Monnet of Sausalito, a co-author of the study. "If you go with a more conservative 5.5 percent rate of return, the funded ratio drops to 49 percent" for the counties, Churchill said.
Los Angeles County has banked enough to cover just 51 percent of retirement debt even if the stock market produces 7.5 percent returns, the study found.
Overall, the total unfunded pension liability at an assumed rate of return of 7.5 percent is $128 billion for the counties, a total that zooms to $329 billion at an assumed rate of 5.5 percent.
The policy center, whose associates include Jack Dean, editor of www.pensiontsunami.com, a website that tracks pension financial news, noted that public officials often cite rosier pension funding figures, based only on pension payment obligations — but not including retiree health and pension bond debt costs.
Monnet, a fiscal expert who is a member of Marin's Citizens for Sustainable Pension Plans, said the study indicates that far from being ahead of the curve, Marin falls way behind in funding its pension system obligations. "We're at the bottom" among counties in similar pension programs, he said, even though "we've got that triple A credit rating" so often cited by county officials.
County Administrator Matthew Hymel, noting steps the county has taken to deal with its pension and retiree health obligations, said the county's unfunded liability, calculated at the 7.5 percent investment expectation, is $784 million — down $98 million from last year, in part due to an extra $46 million in payments.
"From residents' perspectives, they should be assured that we are taking this seriously and moving aggressively," Hymel said. "The good news is we've been very aggressive" in paying down both pension and health care debt, he said.
The policy center report said it will take 17 percent of Marin Civic Center's annual revenue — each year for 20 years — to pay off its pension and retiree obligation. Put another way, the per household cost of the county debt in Marin is $7,627, fifth highest among the counties studied.
The policy center report follows a similar examination of Marin's city and county debt by Monnet and others in Citizens for Sustainable Pension Plans last year. That study said Marin's city and county governments had mounted a retiree debt of as much as $2.3 billion, making the average resident's share of the bill $25,000. It reported the county and its cities have banked less than half the money needed to pay for the retirement benefits they promise.

Virgin grabs S.African Airways partner despite Qantas ties
PUBLISHED: 07 Feb 2014 10:58:00 | UPDATED: 07 Feb 2014 11:36:40PRINT EDITION: 07 Feb 2014Will Willitts
Virgin Australia has signed a new code share agreement with South African Airways (SAA), which already has a long-standing partnership with competitor Qantas Airways in the one world airline alliance.
"The new code share acknowledges the growth of Virgin Australia as one of Australia's leading domestic airlines while meeting customer demands for more choice when making their international travel arrangements," SAA country manager for Australasia Tim Clyde-Smith said in a statement.
The announcement comes as the country's biggest airline, Qantas, struggles to keep market share as Virgin has aggressively muscled into the domestic and international arena. Qantas is asking Canberra to ease some of its ownership restrictions so it can try match the deep pockets of Virgin's airline partner-investors.
Qantas shares were up 1.7 per cent at $1.057 at 11:00am AEDT; its shares have fallen 44 per cent since last April. Virgin's shares, meantime, slipped 2.9 per cent to $0.33 in morning trading.
Calling it an "exciting development", Clyde-Smith said passengers could start buying tickets beginning today for travel next Tuesday. The alliance will only allow SAA passengers to book from Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, but not from Sydney, onto South African Airways Perth-Johannesburg flight.
"We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Virgin Australia in the future," Clyde-Smith said in a statement.
The formal alliance between Qantas and South African Airways on flights between the two countries is set to expire in 11 months.
Two years ago, Qantas's bid to extend the alliance for another five years was shot down by the International Air Services Commission, which described the tie-up between the two airlines as an "effective duopoly".
At the time, the IASC said the longstanding Qantas-SAA alliance on flights between the two countries was a ''poor substitute'' for direct competition saying the passengers travelling between Australia and South AFrica had a "limited" choice in their routes.
''The two airlines have an effective duopoly on the main routes [Sydney and Perth], subject to very little competitive constraint from third-country airlines or threat of entry [from another airline],'' it said.

The Complete Law Of Attraction Books Set
Download Law Of Attraction Books
All people are surrounded by a thought atmosphere. . . Through this force we're either drawing in or forcing back. Like draws in like and…we draw in exactly what we are in mind.
The law of attraction, or what I refer to as resonance manifestation, is the principle by which you draw into your life that which is in vibrational alignment with your awareness; your thoughts, feelings, opinions and attitudes, whether you're mindful of them or not.
This is why the starting point on the road to successfully and deliberately manifesting your desires is to become aware of the thoughts and feelings that are producing your experience and to take responsibility for your reality.
Accepting responsibility for your life without judgment is both empowering and liberating. When you understand that you're source not subject of your existence, you are able to modify it.
To apply the law of attraction successfully you will be required to become conscious of what's happening inside, and
with these Law Of Attraction Books you will be aware of the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes that are what's creating the boundaries of your experience.

Mind Movies To Help You Fulfill Your Ideal Lifestyle
It is easy enough to tell someone to "think positive" and assume that they will be able to do just that after experiencing the worst bad luck for that day, but there is a way to try and focus on those positive thoughts without having to struggle to dig them up from the recesses of your mind. Mind movies are literally what their name describes them to be, movies of your mind that can positively make an impact in your life by injecting that much needed positive boost you need.
The 2006 film "The Secret", based on the same titled book, promotes the concept of the Law of Attraction as something that people should try to incorporate into their daily lives. By controlling thoughts to be positive when it comes to focusing on life, the positive energy is ultimately released to influence positive chances. In other words, you will actually encounter the right kind of people or be in the "right place at the right time" in every situation, thereby significantly improving your life with more positive results in all of your ventures.
This type of positive thinking requires heavy concentration to remain focused on those positive thoughts. If one wants to send out the exact, well targeted thoughts to the universe, he or she must be well in tune with what exactly the ideal concept of life is in his or her mind's eye.
For some individuals it is very hard to keep a distinct vision on their minds that fully emphasizes their desires for their ideal life. This is where mind movies are useful, as these can help to literally create a visual version of the exact concept that one is hoping his or her life will become.
A mind movie will ultimately keep the vision of a perfect life distinct, detailed, and solidly imprinted in one's mind as he or she already knows what the ultimate goal looks like. For example, the house that one aims to have someday, or the car that is perfect in one's mind, these need mental pictures to be manifested into positive thoughts that can be sent out as a beacon to the universe and steer that magnetic attraction towards the sender.
With the busy lives that many people lead, there is rarely any time to actually sit down, breathe deeply, and meditate on one's ultimate positive life goals. By having the images of a mind movie clearly set and saved for future reference, even the most forgetful and scattered mind can be guided to remember the ultimate purpose that all this positive thinking has been designed for, and one can send out those positive images to the waiting universe and just watch the answers to begin revealing themselves naturally.
When you want to change your circumstances for the better, mind movies can assist you to form an image of what that circumstances will look like. You can learn more about the Law of Attraction and how it operates by visiting the website at http://www.mindmoviesguide.com today.
