FLORENCE- Dozens of Florence students were home sick with flu-like symptoms at this time last week, but Superintendent John McGee says this week students are feeling better and are back in class.
Around 35 students, mostly from the elementary school called out sick or went home early last Thursday, but McGee says attendance is now back up, right where it typically is.
He says this bug was especially tough to diagnose because the smoke from the surrounding wildfires was making everyone feel sick.
McGee says it could have made the illness spread more easily from one child to the next if outside activities continued.
"Germs in the area and not getting the kids outdoors like we normally would. They are in close proximity and we're having recess in the hallways instead of the playground and there's a better chance for germs to spread amongst each other," McGee explained.
He added that officials still aren't sure just what the sickness was. Last March, the norovirus cancelled school for Florence Carlton students for two days.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Some time later, Abram had a vision. The LORD said to him, "Abram, do not be afraid. I am like a shield to you. I am your very great reward." | 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." |
2 But Abram said, "LORD and King, what can you give me? I still don't have any children. My servant Eliezer comes from Damascus. When I die, he will get everything I own." | 2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" |
3 Abram continued, "You haven't given me any children. So a servant in my house will get everything I own." | 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." |
4 Then a message came to Abram from the LORD. He said, "This man will not get what belongs to you. A son will come from your own body. He will get everything you own." | 4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." |
5 The LORD took Abram outside and said, "Look up at the sky. Count the stars, if you can." Then he said to him, "That is how many children you will have." | 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." |
6 Abram believed the Lord. The LORD accepted Abram because he believed. So his faith made him right with the Lord. | 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. |
7 He also said to Abram, "I am the Lord. I brought you out of Ur in Babylonia. I wanted to give you this land to take as your very own." | 7 He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it." |
8 But Abram said, "LORD and King, how can I know I will take this land as my own?" | 8 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?" |
9 So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a young cow. Also bring a goat and a ram. All of them must be three years old. Bring a dove and a young pigeon along with them." | 9 So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon." |
10 Abram brought all of them to the Lord. Abram cut them in two. He placed the halves opposite each other. But he didn't cut the birds in half. | 10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half. |
11 Then large birds came down to eat the dead bodies of the animals and birds. But Abram chased the large birds away. | 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. |
12 As the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep. A thick and terrible darkness covered him. | 12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. |
13 Then the LORD said to him, "You can be sure of what I am about to tell you. Your children who live after you will be strangers in a country that does not belong to them. They will become slaves. They will be treated badly for 400 years. | 13 Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. |
14 But I will punish the nation that makes them slaves. After that, they will leave with all kinds of valuable things. | 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. |
15 "But you will die in peace. You will join the members of your family who have already died. You will be buried when you are very old. | 15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. |
16 "Your children's grandchildren will come back here. That is because the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached the point where I must judge them." | 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." |
17 The sun set and darkness fell. Then a burning torch and a fire pot filled with smoke appeared. They passed between the pieces of the animals. | 17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. |
18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram. He said, "I am giving this land to your children after you. It reaches from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates. | 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates-- |
19 It includes the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, | 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, |
20 Hittites, Perizzites and Rephaites. | 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, |
21 The Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites also live there." | 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." |

Fresh Apple Party Theme
Think apple themes are just for fall harvest parties? Think again! From rich red delicious to vibrant granny-smith-green, this popular fruit makes for great party decor throughout the year – especially when it comes to bridal showers and special brunches or luncheons.
Here are a few ideas for bringing a fun, casual apple theme to life:
Pictured above:
• Fresh Fruit Paper Partyware (available in dinner plates, dessert plates, lunch napkins, cocktail napkins, and guest towels)
• Apple Red Utensils ($3/service for 8)
• Apple Candy Containers ($15/set of 12) – Fill these cute little guys with fruit candies, gourmet trail mix, or packets of spiced apple tea.
• Stirrings Apple Martini Mixer ($10) & Apple Martini Rimmer ($5) – This party theme definitely calls for apple martinis! Make things easy on yourself with a ready-made mixer…no bartender required!
Centerpiece Ideas:
Keep the centerpieces simple and display groups of apples in vases and interesting bowls. Embellish the arrangements with ribbon, flowers, and candles. Here are a few examples from around the web:
{Pictured above, clockwise from top left}
• tall vase filled with small apples & floating candles {via Brides}
• mixed red & green apple "Orchard Wedding" centerpiece {via OnceWed}
• modern simplicity: small bowls of apples embellished with white flowers {via Your Wedding Day}
• decorated vase filled with green apples and leaves {via Fall Bio}
Last but not least, a few fun extras & apple-themed treats:
{Pictured above, clockwise from top left}
• Apples adorned with paper leaves serve as fun, themed place cards {via Brides)
• Pretty cake topper idea: caramelized lady apples {via Brides}
• Serve up a decadent treat like these White Chocolate-Toffee Crunch Caramel Apples {via myrecipes.com}. Slice and serve at the party, or wrap them up individually and send them home with guests as party favors.
• Instead of the standard cupcakes or sheet cake, try something themed & unique like these Apple Streusel Cinnamon Swirl Cupcakes. {via Hostess with the Mostess}

Number one is not missing the net. I think with a lot of these scorers, like the Heatleys and the Kovalchuks, they don't miss the net that often. Most pucks cross the goal line at 65 miles per hour, so there ends the myth about the hard shot. How hard the shot is isn't as important as the puck on the tape and off the tape and on the net, not trying to find holes.
– Tim Burke, San Jose Sharks Director of Scouting, as quoted by Shane Malloy in The Art of Scouting
I started reading Malloy's book last night (I'll have more thoughts on it further down the line) and one of the quotes that really jumped out at me was Burke's comment above. Obviously, it's important to get shots on net, but is getting shots through really vital for a goal-scorer? Couldn't a goal-scorer simply compensate by firing more pucks, despite a high number of misses and blocks? I decided to double check whether there was a strong relationship at the NHL level between goal-scoring and getting shots on net.
Before I get to the numbers, I want to make a couple of points: first, Burke's a very bright hockey man and second that he isn't alone in this sort of thinking. On the latter point, here for instance is what legendary scout Marshall Johnston said for the same book:
"The biggest difference in goal scorers is from continually missing the net to getting shot after shot on net (Mike Bossy never missed the net – including in warm-ups)."
As for Burke, he's been the top amateur scout in San Jose for 14 seasons, and the Sharks drafting record during that span has been very good. Prior to that, he was the top professional scout for the same organization, he coached for both the Devils organization and Princeton University, and before that he was a professional and college player. It's impossible not to respect his track record and credentials.
Still, what I found is that while there is a relationship between goal-scoring and getting the puck through to the net, it's a rather weak one.
My methodology was simple: I took every NHL regular who missed minimal time this season (I set my cut off at 75 games played, which left me 187 players to use) and ranked them by shots per game, goals per game, shooting percentage, and percentage of shots on net [shots on net/(shots on net + missed shots + blocked shots)] and then ran correlations comparing the rankings. A perfect relationship is equal to 1.00
Correlation between shots per game and goals per game: 0.816
Correlation between percentage of shots on net and shots per game: 0.631
Correlation between percentage of shots on net and goals per game: 0.448
It's an interesting trio of numbers. There's a very, very strong connection between shots per game and goals per game, showing what is perhaps obvious: players that get a lot of shots generally get a lot of goals. Of the league's 20 best players in terms of shots per game, none has less than 20 goals (the worst total of the group belongs to Florida's David Booth, with 23).
There's a reasonable connection between percentage of shots on net and shots per game, which again makes sense: players that get most of their shots through are going to end up with more shots than those who don't. Still, it's a weaker connection than the one between shots on net and total goals, and several of the league's best players this season at getting their shots through (notably Henrik Sedin and Shawn Thornton) had rather low shot totals.
Finally, there's a relatively weak connection between percentage of shots on net and goals per game, and some notable players were very bad at the former and very good at the latter. Three of the league' five best goal-scorers this season – Corey Perry, Steven Stamkos and Ryan Getzlaf – were not especially good at getting shots through. Stamkos was well below average, while Ryan Kesler was in the bottom quarter of the league in that category.
There is one last correlation I decided to run, since it seemed an obvious leap. Shooting percentage is generally regarded as a decent measure of shot accuracy, and in theory at least players with good accuracy should be the ones who get a high percentage of their shots through to the net. Yet, the correlation between percentage of shots through and shooting percentage was practically nil: 0.038.
It's worth noting that both of the quotes above could be read as arguing the importance of getting a lot of shots – and that's a conclusion I can wholeheartedly agree with, based on the data from this season (and more esoteric reasoning, such as the basic common sense idea that more shots = more goals). But I would suggest, based on this data, that keeping the number of missed and blocked shots to a minimum is of relatively low importance for the average NHL shooter.

It was about one year ago right now that my children discovered the wonder and awesomeness that are Hexbugs.
If you have children aged 4+ or so, and you have not heard of HexBugs, then here is your chance to check them out and maybe even win some for yourself!
HexBugs are a family of super fun robotic creatures, including Warriors, Bugs, Aquabots, and the Nano, which is the subject of this post and contest. The original Hexbug Nano was a major hit in our house and with my niece. A little vibrating wonder with rubber/silicone legs that wanders all over the place, in and out of the awesome track sets available for them. Super fun.
But now, Hexbug has taken the Nano to a WHOLE new level with the Nano V2. Because what can these awesome little creatures do now?
Yes, that's right. The Hexbug Nano V2 have little silicone 'feet' on both sides of their body now, and they come with a fun little plastic rectangular tube that they can climb up. The sets are fun, coming with tubes and tunnels that go horizontal, vertical, and even a Black Hole set that drops the V2s into a vortex and leaves them scrambling for a new direction.
Here's a quick snapshot of one of the Nano V2 habitats in action (this one is the Watch Tower set):
Now for your chance to win one of these Hexbug Nano V2 climbing sets for your family. Hexbug is hosting a #theycanclimb contest on Vine and Instagram.

On Monday's episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," black sheep Danielle Staub attended a charity dinner at The Brownstone, the event facility owned and operated by the Manzo family. Caroline and Dina Manzo, of course, are fellow cast members on the hit Bravo show, and since the beginning they — along with Teresa Giudice and Jacquelina Laurina — have been at odds with Staub. Last season culminated in Teresa overturning a table and shouting that Danielle was a "prostitution whore," the best grammatically incorrect insult, um, ever. Anyway, Danielle has been behaving super odd during this second season, seemingly continuing a "war" with the Manzos even though they seem genuinely bored by her antics. Danielle claimed to be scared of the Manzos and enlisted a parolee with a bad hairdo and a Hell's Angel as part of her "entourage" for this charity event, which Danielle was clearly only attending to cause drama, not to actually raise money for a baby named Emanuela, who is sick with cancer. If Danielle Staub had any supporters following this week's episode, people who think her intentions are good and not totally bats**t crazy, she won't have any now that the people who were throwing the event are talking.

A simple floral print nail art design, perfect for spring! This eye-catching design will surely bring a vintage look to any outfit.
Step 1:
Start by painting your nails with a nude beige nail polish.
Step 2:
Using a small nail art brush, create a few circles on each nail. The circles don't need to be perfect.
Step 3:
Using a thinner brush and a dark red nail polish, carefully outline each rose, then do several smaller C-shapes within the circle to suggest petals.
Step 4:
Using the same thin brush and a dark green nail polish, lay the brush down on your nail to make ovalshaped leaves around each rose.
Step 5:
Using the same thin brush and a lighter green nail polish, add some details to the leaves.
Step 6:
Finally, apply a top coat to your nails to seal in the design.

PeggyChi Flat IronThis iron is great! It works instantly and does a good job at making your hair straight and silky soft looking. My hair is always frizzy (from the humidity here) and when I used this iron the first time I was amazed. I still wish it could be Excellent though but its not. It does do the trick though.posted Aug 1, 2005Link to this post
J. FendrichBrooklyn, NYVery PleasedI was unsure whether to get this because I thought it might not be powerful enough for my thick wavy hair. Ive owned 2 Sapphire Flat Irons that were bulky & heavy & did the job well. This much lighter iron pleasantly suprised me. I need to pass less hair thru it then my sapphire but it does a nice job.posted Aug 1, 2005Link to this post
LauraChi Ruined My Hair!I got the CHI and the first one I bought short circuited, so then I got another one.However this iron ruined my hair, I used a thermal protectant yet it still fried my hair I had horrible split ends that resulted in me having to get 3 inches of breakage and split ends cut off.I am soo upset I used to have beautiful, thick, long hair!The CHI is not a good flat iron for the price.posted Jul 28, 2005Link to this post
JohnnaChi Flat Iron ProblemsHEY GIRLS & GUYS, I TOO AM A HAIRDRESSER & HAVE BEEN DOING HAIR FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS NOW. I ALSO HAVE THE NATURALLY CURLY FRIZZY NAPPY HAIR WITHOUT MY CHI. IN MY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS IRON, IVE ALREADY HAD TO SEND BACK 4 OF THEM SINCE I BEGAN PURCHASING THEM BACK IN LATE 2002. IT IS THE BEST FLAT IRON I HAVE EVER USED. BUT I TOO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH THE IRON COMING ON & GOING OFF. FOR A WHILE, I WAS HAVING TO TURN MY CORD AT THE BASE CERTAIN WAYS JUST TO GET THE LIGHT TO STAY ON SO I COULD SMOOTH OUT MY HAIR. LUCKILY, AS LONG AS THE 1 YEAR MARK HASNT PASSED FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE IRON, I CAN SEND IT BACK WITH MY SALESMAN & HE BRINGS ME A BRAND NEW ONE. I KNOW THE SUPPLY HOUSE THAT I DEAL WITH WILL HAPPILY TAKE BACK ANY CHI IRON ALONG WITH THE BOX IT CAME IN & THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT & REPLACE IT WITHING THAT FIRST YEAR. WHEN MY CUSTOMERS OR THE OTHER GIRLS CUSTOMERS THAT I WORK WITH HAVE BOUGHT A CHI IRON FROM ONE OF US, WE ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY UPON DELIVERY WRITE IN PERMANENT BLACK MARKER THE DATE OF PURCHASE ON THE BOX ITSELF & TELL THEM TO HOLD ONTO IT IN CASE THEY NEEDED TO RETURN IT. WE NEVER GIVE OUT RECEIPTS. FAROUK CHARGES US $15 TO SEND THE IRON BACK & WE DO REQUEST THAT THE CLIENT PAY THIS TO COVER THOSE COSTS. THE NEXT DAY, WE HAVE THEIR BRAND NEW ONE WAITING FOR THEM TO PICK IT UP. I KNOW THIS IS A LONG REVIEW, I JUST WAS HOPING TO HELP ANYONES DECISION OUT ON THIS IRON. I WILL DEFINITELY BE TRYING THAT SEDU I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT ITS CALLED ANYWAY!!posted Jul 22, 2005Link to this post
KerryLong Island, New YorkNot Reliable At AllI orginally bought the Chi straightner about 2 years ago... I purchased it online for about 130 dollars. In the course of one year (it came with a one year warranty) I went through FIVE chi straightners!! FIVE!! It either stopped working, kept turning off and turning on... or just stopped turning on all togheter. One time it completely fried an entire section of my hair and started smoking and the plates turned completely black and it stopped working.. I currently have my 6th Chi straightner... and it just broke a few weeks ago. (It stopped turning on).... so now I am without a straigtner. The CHI works and does get the job done... but it is deffintly not reliable. I spent more money sending it back in shipping fees then it was really worth. I am currently looking to purchase another straightner, But i dont think I will be purchasing another Chi....posted Jul 21, 2005Link to this post
HarmonyBoise IDBest Thing In The World If You Know How To Use It.I am a cosmetologist and I have reviewed most of the reviews on this web site. I have had my CHI Iron now for almost 8 mo. I use it on quite a few of my clients sometimes three of four times a day. I have thus far not had ANY problems with mine, however I just learned that Farouk Systems has just done some remodeling of the iron. Some people that buy this iron need to read their instructions. If you use a product to protect your hair from the iron you will never have any problems with "fried" hair. As long as you stick to regular trims on your hair and use a decent shampoo and conditioner. Also one of the great things about the CHI iron is that it has no temp. dial. The harder you press the hotter igt gets. So for all of you heavy squeezers out there no wonder your plates are falling appart.posted Jul 19, 2005Link to this post
Diana MilliganHouston, TexasFarouk Chi Flat IronThe Farouk CHI Ceramic Hairstyling Iron is the best straighner product in the market. I have naturally wavy hair. Living in Texas we have an abundant of humidity. Other straightners would make my hair look dry and frizzy. I have tried many other cheaper irons, but I have never been as satisfied with the results as the chi. The chi leaves my hair with a silky shinny look ever time. My hair is long and manages to stay straight and shinny almost all day. Expensive but worth the money spent.posted Jul 19, 2005Link to this post
AmandaLewis Center, OhioBeware Of PlatesI have had my CHI for 2 years now. I have loved up till now. I read some of the reviews and there was one girl, a cosmotologist, who made a comment about people who squeeze to hard and the plates come loose. Well for the money I payed for it, it should last a lot longer than 2 years. My plates fell off, so now its a $140.00 down the toilet. Now granted, I bought a cheep one and hate it. I did read the instructions, and dont believe I read anything about the plates falling off if you squeeze to hard. If you have real curly, frizzy, nappy hair like mine, I guess dont press too hard. Other than that, its awesome!posted Jul 19, 2005Link to this post
ElizabethKaty, TXIt Worked Great For 3 YearsWhen I first got my CHI, I loved it. I have naturally curly hair and it was the first time that I could get my hair really straight, without being poofy. It was great for about 6 months, then it sparked, started smoking, and basically blew up, so I sent it back and got a new one. The next one worked great at first, but after 2 years now, the plates have fallen out and it wont stay on. I have tried glueing the plates, and taping the wires certain ways to get it to stay on, but nothing seems to work. My step daugher has enough hair for 3 humans and its very wavy. She also likes the CHI but it seems to have damaged her hair a little. She has some hair breakage (looks kind of like a little mohawk of baby hairs).I figured since Ive been using it for so long, its time to try something new anyways. So, I just ordered the Solia and should be getting it any day now. Overall, it was ok, it just isnt very durable.posted Jul 13, 2005Link to this post
BrookeDallas, TxBe Carefuli had used several straighteners, starting with the hot tools, then the ceramic models of the hot tools, then a superstar. when i had to go through 2 superstars, i decided that i had to get the best and finally caved in and spent the big bucks on a chi, after seeing how good my friends hair looked (who has naturally CURLY hair).unfortunately, i straightened my hair every day, and usually more than once a day, for touchups, and my hair has thinned out so much and is really damaged because of this. and i DID use the styling products beforehand, like the biosilk sprays and biosilk silk therapy. the chi works great if you use it ***once in a while*** but never ever use it every day if your hair is not naturally straight. im regretting it every day because i now have to wear my hair wavy to avoid doing futher damage, which actually isnt a bad look on me, but im still tempted to turn my chi on sometimes. also, i had the problems that several customers mention with the light turning off if the cord swiveled to a certain point. very infuriating, but for me, it seemed like it was only the light that went off, not the iron. my main advice is to just use this sparingly, but if youre going to be using it a lot, make sure to have your hair completely blow dryed, use enough pre straightening product and do section by section only ONCE. i was straightening sections several times each, and the split ends are a nightmare. flat irons have huge risks, and unfortunately a lot of the damge is undoable.posted Jun 10, 2005Link to this post

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnny Depp and Kevin Smith are teaming up for what is being dubbed a "comic book movie," and they're bringing their daughters with them.
This week, Smith will start principal photography on Yoga Hosers, an action-adventure movie that will star Depp, his daughter Lily-Rose Depp, and Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith.
The movie is Smith's follow-up to Tusk, which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival in September, and is the second installment in Smith's True North trilogy of movies that are steeped in Canadian myths and culture. In fact, the entire cast of Tusk is returning for Hosers, including Michael Parks, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, Genesis Rodriguez, Ralph Garman and Harley Morenstein. New to the cast are Tony Hale, Natasha Lyonne, Austin Butler, Adam Brody, Tyler Posey and Jason Mewes.
Hosers, written by Smith, centers on 15-year-old yoga nuts Colleen Collette (Lily-Rose Depp) and Colleen McKenzie (Harley Quinn Smith), who have an after-school job at a Manitoba convenience store called Eh-2-Zed. When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada's crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe (Depp) to fight for their lives with, according to the producers, "all seven Chakras, one Warrior Pose at a time."
Smith, a comic book geek who has written titles for Marvel and DC and who once wrote a Superman movie script, said he considers this his entree into the comic book movie genre. "People always ask me 'Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?' " Smith said. "This is it — but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two 15-year-old girls."
Said StarStream CEO Kim Leadford: "The timing couldn't be more perfect as so many production companies are struggling to find content to fill a serious void in the market of female superheroes and antiheroes. And it's pretty exciting to have their dads making the film with them."

I'm originally from West Africa, I love foods with flavor.
I am a corporate flight attendant and graphics designer so I love anything that involves creativity...that includes cooking.
It's always cool to try a new recipe or restaurant

We invite to our Project all of you who believe they are descendants of the Awdancy and Skarbek clan in the former Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (families under the Abdank coat of arms). In addition, we also invite those who don't know much about their ancestors, but who have Y-DNA results which are close to the haplotypes represented by the members of the Project. After a closer look, they may discover that they share ancestors with us.
The Awdaniec Clan is one of the oldest clans in Poland historically associated with a Polish Knight. The legendary ancestor was Count Audoen (Audo), who arrived in the Kingdom of Poland in the beginning of the XI-th century from a currently unknown location. For many reasons historians do not question his Norman origin. During the last ten centuries about 400 nobility names in Poland were associated with the Awdaniec Clan and its Habdank (Abdank) coat of arms, with estates of these families located across almost the entire territory of the Kingdom of Poland, and later, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
About 60 knight families with the name Skarbek (often with an additional suffix), are most probably descendants in paternal line of Skarbimir - Count Palatinus (Viceroy) of the Kingdom of Poland (beginning of XII-th century). Skarbimir was well known from the first Polish chronicle by Gallus Anonimus (written about 1113-14). Skarbeks are recognized by historians as the main core of the Awdaniec Clan during the first five hundred years of its history.
One of the theories considered today is that Audoen arrived in Poland accompanied by a group of knights, of whom some were his close relatives of Norman origin and some were not. The descendants of these knights, together with descendants of Audoen, formed the Awdaniec Clan and were treated as one clan.
Through the knowledge of the Y-chromosome of members of the clan we want to learn both about the internal inteconnections (branches and the time of branching) among families associated with the Habdank coat of arms, and about genetic relations to other knight clans in the Central-Eastern region of medieval Europe.

I am a single mother of one. I live in Missouri and I am a Corporate Trainer by day. I love to cook and surf the net so Recipezaar is perfect for me.
I love breads and cakes. My latest and greatest recipe is a Ham Roll. It uses a light and lovely French bread and is stuffed with ham and cheese, I add a little Ranch Dressing for flavor. I also love to make homemade pizza.

Études littéraires. George Orwell - The Orwell Prize. 25 Great Thinkers Every College Student Should Read. By Donna Scott College is for expanding one's intellectual horizons.
Unfortunately, drinking and having fun, can distract from learning about history's great thinkers. From Mark Twain to Confucius, an educated individual should posses some knowledge of certain philosophers, artists and thinkers. Here are 25 great thinkers every college student should read, even if professors don't assign them. L'invisible omniprésence de l'analyse de données. L'invisible omniprésence de l'analyse de données [vendredi 24 juillet 2009 - 14:00] Sciences Super crunchers.
Why thinking-by-numbers is the new way to be smart Éditeur : Bantam Books. Very Short Introductions. "I love the Very Short Introduction Series as should everyone who is interested in the history of ideas.
They manage to straddle that difficult line between making the complex accessible without ever compromising on quality. The sheer range of subjects covered make the series an invaluable asset for anyone trying to understand the development of human thought. They are a must-go-to gateway for those of us keen to know more but needing a steer as to where to start. " - Claire Fox, Director, Institute of Ideas. Guest Blog: A Year of Non-Fiction? by Emily « Nadia Lee. I have been utterly and completely turned off reading fiction.
I'm not sure why, but I just don't wanna. I've been to the library a couple of times since I got back home -- and god, I love the public libraries here in Singapore! -- and I always walk away empty-handed from the fiction section. I go to bookstores, and wander out again, not having spent a single, precious penny. Which means I'm spending a ridiculous amount of cash on needlework stash and I really don't need any more -- FYI, my TBR pile is usually about 10 books and I have already achieved what we stitchers call SABLE: Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy. Essays. The World's Top 20 Public Intellectuals. Rankings are an inherently dangerous business.
Whether offering a hierarchy of countries, cities, or colleges, any such list -- at least any such list worth compiling -- is likely to generate a fair amount of debate. In the last issue, when we asked readers to vote for their picks of the world's top public intellectuals, we imagined many people would want to make their opinions known. But no one expected the avalanche of voters who came forward. I Love You Christopher Hitchens, You Irritating Bastard.
Christopher Hitchens, along with Robert Hughes and Spy magazine's Michèle Bennett, first started me imagining that I would like someday to be a journalist and critic.
These jaundiced observers of the follies of the late 1980s and early 1990s had in common an elegant style of attack, and a positive relish in the peppering, roasting, carving and dishing up of sacred cows. Hughes, by far the most scholarly of the three, went on to produce magnificent books and documentaries (and to survive the terrible injuries he sustained in a super-hairy car crash in 1999); Bennett's true identity has never been revealed, but I hope he or she is thriving, and writing still. I like to imagine I've been enjoying the Bennett oeuvre all along, under some other august byline. But Christopher Hitchens! Ach, Christopher Hitchens.

Coolest Up-Close Animal Encounters
Natural Habitat Adventures / Brad Josephs
Where: Minshan Mountains, China
How: On foot
When: March–September
Rich in bamboo and largely devoid of human development, the rugged highlands of Sichuan province are the last stand of the giant panda. The World Wildlife Fund estimates the remote region harbors around 720 pandas, roughly 45 percent of earth's wild population. The area is difficult to explore on your own, but Natural Habitat Adventures offers a two-week outdoor odyssey in the spring and summer that includes plenty of panda time, from Chengdu's breeding center to two days trying to spy bears in the wild.

Chairman of the Committee on Immigration Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) joined fellow Councilman Mathieu Eugene (D-Brooklyn) on the steps of City Hall on Dec. 19 to call on the U.S. Congress to support and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to designate Temporary Protected Status to the Philippines.
The TPS designation, proposed by Eugene, would permit eligible Filipino nationals already living in the United States to remain in this country while the Philippines recovers from the recent devastation of the category-five typhoon Haiyan.
"Part of my district in Elmhurst, Queens, is home to the city's largest Filipino community," Dromm said. "I have worked with many advocates living in this community to address work and human trafficking issues that hurt this growing group. Last Sunday, in commemoration of the one month anniversary of Typhoon Haiyan hitting the Philippines, I attended a vigil to continue to keep the focus on the disaster.
"I am encouraged by the resilience of the Philippine people. We must press forward by granting TPS status to Filipino immigrants living in the United States."
If the TPS goes through, Filipino nationals, many of whom had their homes destroyed by the storm, will be able to continue living here without worry of deportation or being arrested.
"The devastation and the loss of life in the Philippines is tragic," said Immigrant Protection Unit's Director, Irina Matiychenko, on behalf of the New York Legal Assistance Group. "The TPS would protect individuals who would be endangered by returning home, and empower Filipino nationals temporarily living in the United States to aid in the recovery of their homeland.
"As one of the largest providers of free immigration legal services in the country, NYLAG has seen firsthand the plight of foreign nationals living in the U.S. when disaster strikes their home countries."
Queens is home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the nation. Woodside is commonly referred to as Little Manila because of its large Filipino population.
"The devastation from Typhoon Haiyan has long-term implications for Filipinos," said Jonna Baldres, National Alliance of Filipino Concerns deputy secretary-general. "The recovery needs are great. We call on the Philippine government to make an official request to the U.S. government to grant Filipinos Temporary Protective Status."
Typhoon Haiyan is one of the largest storms to hit the southern Philippines, killing at least 5,260. The actual death toll is still unknown.

Is it possible that i can still recover my files or im just waiting here for a false hope
Many will evaluate the drive for free.
You may have less hope than most, because of the overheating. Hopefully, it is just an electronics failure, though.
The most typical drive failure is bearing failure. To recover, they remove the disks and install them in another drive. The disks then typically read just fine.
This would, of course, work for a case of failure of the drive electronics as well.
Not smart! Bet it was a SATA HD.
I had a corrupt SATA RAID and disk failure once. Not good, and you can't always get your data back. Since then I've always been complely paranoid about backing things up.

Beautiful and functional makes it completely perfect.
Isn't it wonderful to find beauty in function? I love its simplicity ... and its usefulness. Enjoy.
I just wish I had a place for something that handy and useful, but alas and alack, I don't. Happy Sunday, dear one.
Nothing like fresh squeezed. My plastic short one is falling apart. I need to find something similar.
Very nice. I can practicaly smell the lemons and oranges from here. It probably won't surprise you to know that I have a few of those in green depression glass. ;)
Love that it is nontech. I'm in Manise's camp. My plastic one just sux.
Hmm, I think I might have to go and make some lemon bars!
It's so classically simple. Nice.
Love it!
My Mom had a "juicing" implement similar to that, but it didn't have a pitcher underneath. (We're talking 1950's here!) It didn't get used very often. There were 4 children and 2 adults in the house so that required a lot of hand-labor to make enough juice for all of us. As we got older, we helped out, but it was still a special occasion that only happened a couple of times a year when the oranges were at their juiciest! Enjoyed seeing the picture; I hadn't thought about our fresh squeezed juice in years!

Steampunk Filigree Ring
December 2011
December 2011
These are examples of the Steampunk rings I've made with filigree ring bases, real watch parts, and Swarovski crystals (images enlarged to show details). I do not list these individually on my website, because there are many for sale on Etsy from other makers. I don't have a lot of time to make jewelry, so I prefer to create items which are not already so well-represented elsewhere. If you'd like to try making one yourself, I made a Youtube tutorial showing how to do it in 10 minutes for under $10.

President's Message
Chad A. Maclin, VACTE President
Welcome to the Virginia Association of Career and Technical Education (VACTE) website. As a lifelong resident of Virginia and with more than twenty-five years' experience in Career and Technical Education, I am honored to be serving as the VACTE president this year.
VACTE serves as the umbrella organization for Career and Technical Education professional teacher organizations and is the direct affiliation for the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE). VACTE's main focus is to provide legislative support to lawmakers in support of Career and Technical Education in Virginia.
In September, VACTE will host the ACTE Region II Professional Development Conference in Richmond. This year's conference theme is "Advocacy, Curriculum, Trends, and Excellence." All members are encouraged to attend, as this conference will be a great opportunity to network with fellow Career and Technical Education colleagues from across the southeastern region.
Again in January, VACTE will host the Annual Legislative Seminar in Richmond. Make plans to attend this progressive conference which will focus on the legislative agenda that will directly affect Career and Technical Education programs across the commonwealth.
Join VACTE to stay connected to the legislative initiatives that affect the Career and Technical Education classrooms. Our website has lots of information beneficial to helping teachers and administrators remain informed and stay connected with local legislators and business and industry. Please feel free to reach out to me or any of the board members should you need assistance with your local legislators or have a good news story to promote.
The work of VACTE is to ensure that CTE classrooms across the commonwealth have the legislative support to equip state-of-the-art technology/equipment labs, have industry leading instructors, and have connections to business and industry. With your support through membership and activism, Career and Technical Education will be the driving force in Virginia's workforce development.
For a listing of VDOE webinars to assist CTE teachers and administrators in planning, implementing, and reporting their CTE-related activities, please visit the Virginia Department of Education web site.

I live in Florida. Home to the Jaguars, the sun, and that pesky thing called rain. I love to read and explore new things while cooking.
My favorite foods? So many and so little time. I love Italian and Japanese the most, but I love chocolate and berries too. I also love love love steak. When I was a kid if I could have it for every meal I would have.
I guess it is easier to tell you what I don't like which is cucumbers, almost any kind of bean or pea, liver, mashed potatoes, and not fond of fries too much either. I also really really do not like chicken soups 99% of the time. No, I hated eating chicken noodle or chicken and rice as a kid when I was sick. Yes, I know that is odd, but thats me.

Bill Belichick declined Wednesday to comment on whether the Patriots might be interested in signing Ed Reed.
The all-pro safety was cut by Houston on Tuesday and went unclaimed. Belichick and Reed have spoken in the past about their friendship and mutual admiration.
"I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on anyone who is not on our team," Belichick said when asked about Reed.
Reed went unclaimed in the waiver period, which expired at 4 p.m. Wednesday. He thus becomes a free agent and can negotiate with any team. It would have cost a team $1.6 million for the remainer of the season to claim him. Because he cleared waivers, teams now can negotiate their own deal, which almost certainly would involve less money.

Hide the sun
I will leave your face out of my mind
You should save your eyes
A thousand voices howling in my head
from Phantogram – Black Out Days Lyrics on Genius
The voices in her head are telling her to phase out this person. While her impulses might make her second guess, there's a part of her that knows better and triggers her brain to block out the thoughts, like the moon eclipsing the sun.

The Card
Now for what we've all been waiting for, the main attraction. The X-Micro folks went with a pretty straightforward design with this card. No fancy coloring, but everything we need to rock into some hardcore gaming goodness. While we have the whole card on display, take note that all of the capacitors are placed high up on the board. For those who have been hearing the stories of the Visiontek boards and the EPoX 8KHA+ motherboards, you'll realize that there won't be any issues with installing this video card into your favorite rig. There is nothing set low that can get in the way of the capacitors on your motherboard.
Also notice that the memory modules all have RAM sinks installed. Since we are going to be overclocking this card in a bit, its nice to know that we have everything set up for it right from the factory. There is, however, a single capacitor at the top of the card that gets in the way of the upper RAM sink. Oh well, you can't have everything. But what about those memory modules on the back of the card?
As you can see, that has also been taken care of. And since the video card normally sits in the same general vicinity as the processor, some of the overflow air from the heatsink will help keep the memory on the backplane cool as well. I just love it when a plan comes together.
Though we don't have the hydrofoil looking heatsink mounted atop the Ti4200 GPU like some other manufacturers, we do have a very large heatsink in place that will keep not only the chipset cool, but the memory modules as well. As the air from the fan blows down, the excess airflow is directed outwards to blow over the RAM sinks. They say that simplicity is always best and we're going to find out soon if this ideal works.
One thing to keep in mind. If you decide to go for a more high powered heatsink, make sure to get one that is designed for the GeForce4 Ti series video cards. The placement of the mounting holes is not the same as those used on a normal chipset cooler.
Included on the X-Micro card are outputs for a standard CRT type monitor, a flat panel monitor, and an S-Video output for throwing your favorite fragfest onto the big screen TV. And when using the nVidia AccuView capabilities, this is a very easy procedure. The included manual goes through the process with sceenshots to make sure that the job gets done right the first time.

i hope i'm posting on the correct forum.....i did a search, and didn't really come up with any usable info.....
i was given a "mexican turks cap".....i do have the botanical, but not with me just now.... it needs to be transplanted....big time...i want to put it in the ground......but for now, it's still in a pot......last year i had it in shade, it didn't to so well, but i have this spot, just a few square feet that gets a bit more sun, it seemed to do ok, but only a few flowers late last year..... is it really a good performer in shade? should i go for it and put it in the sun? but will it fry in june? this spot will get a good bit of sun as the year progresses...... am i in the right forum? i do consider myself to have a woodland type setting, with a bit of bog thrown in and 3 huge oak trees.......in high summer, it's very shady under there, but at the edges of my property i have enough sun to grow daylillies, a few minature roses, coreopsis.....some daisy thingys....blah blah....i'm mostly in shade.....
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Tesa, I'm guessing the plant is Malvaviscus drummondii (just to make sure were on the same plant). I only know it as a sun plant and a google search for malvaviscus drummondii will show many sites saying the same however in your zone 9 it is supposed to be OK in some shade. I grow mine in a pot because it is only marginally cold-hardy here and I'm a chicken. I enjoy it in it's pot because I can move it wherever I need the color. It's actually pretty tough so If you decide to put it in the ground and it doesn't work out well you can dig it up (w/ as much root ball as you can get and cut the top back by a third) and move it or put it back in a big pot and into a sunnier(or shadier) spot. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Malvaviscus drummondii
- Posted by PhoenixRain z8/ Katy,Texas (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 05 at 22:36
with our hot summers i think they would do better in partial shade also, they are cultivated for Houston the link says, and will do good in shady areas. ~PhoenixRain~ |

Abstract: Compensation is always a tricky issue for medical practices, but money might not always be the bottom line when it comes to rewarding your staff members. Find out what motivates them and work to make quality-of-life changes that may be as beneficial to them as money, such as making their work schedules more flexible. The six strategies listed in this article will help you navigate the seas of compensation and motivation for a happier, more driven staff.
During a time when the money tree hasn't been as fruitful as in years past, many physicians have asked how to keep their staff members happy without breaking the bank. The ambiguity surrounding the dos and don'ts for paying personnel continues to make compensation structures one of the most challenging aspects of running a practice. After speaking with physicians from offices of all shapes and sizes throughout the country, the only clear rule is that there is no one clear rule.
When it comes to paying employees and keeping them happy, you can't rely on a one-size-fits-all solution. Each practice and office has different strengths, weaknesses and personalities. The best model for success to keep your staff in harmony is to create a plan that is tailored to the dynamics of your practice.
The first step to developing a plan is to rethink your rewards system. As an employer, it is natural to assume people work solely for money, and if you cultivate an environment where they are purely driven by the almighty dollar, you will have employees who are only motivated by a paycheck. Rethink the idea of compensation, and instead consider quality-of-life initiatives you can offer your employees. Explore the following strategies, and see if a new idea or concept might help stretch your dollars and keep your staff smiling.
Within a medical setting, various job duties generally attract a diverse group of personalities who are motivated differently. The first step to increasing job satisfaction is to identify what drives each of your employees. Typical human motivators can either be classified as intrinsic, such as wanting a feeling of satisfaction, desiring success or enjoying fulfilling a task; or extrinsic, such as a promotion, verbal praise or even punishment. Although some employees may only be motivated by a check, others work harder to gain a sense of social belonging, acknowledgment from supervisors or leadership opportunities. Some are driven by the opportunity to conquer a challenge as opposed to needing a strict incentive plan. Once you classify what it is that motivates each employee in your office, you can better cater a compensation and bonus structure to align with their goals.
