text: This product doesn't work at all. I understand the concept behind it, but clearly the R&D people really didn't give this much thought. I compare it to using a 20-year old serrated steak knife on my face. It doesn't cut any hair at all, and I know this because I used it while looking in my 10x mag mirror. Neither hair nor skin would budge. I'm not willing to scrape the heck out of my face to give this a second try, so in the garbage they go. Good thing they were cheap.

Wedding: 10/12/2013
I found Kenny's website several years ago and loved his pictures. I knew that when it was my time to get married, he would be at the top of the list for wedding photographers. It was finally my turn and I did my research! Kenny appeared to be the best option and we were very happy with our overall experience. He is a pleasure to work with and we loved the end result. We wanted a record of the night and certain family shots, but otherwise didn't want to feel like someone was in our faces all night. Kenny definitely delivered. In fact, I don't know how he captured all of those amazing moments when we didn't even feel like he was there! He had a lot of great ideas for the wedding party photos and they came out fantastic. Kenny is a hard worker and loves what he does and it shows. We would 100% recommend him for your wedding or event.
Wedding: 10/23/2011
We were really happy with our experience working with Kenny. He is friendly and easy going, answers questions quickly, and was actually early on the day of the wedding. Kenny was all over the place at the wedding and his photos didn't miss a thing. He takes wonderful candid shots that and gives you retouched prints and access to an online gallery. He also gives you also the photos on DVDs, so you have all of the photographs he took. My only recommendation would be to provide a bit of coaching with what you want regarding family portraits. Kenny got done all of the ones we wanted and he did so quickly, which we appreciated. However, some of the portraits were awkward as he doesn't spend too much time adjusting people's positions in the photos. I'm sure he would, though, if he was asked.
Wedding: 9/1/2012
Kenny took pictures for my friend's, my sister's and my wedding. He was an hour early and got to work straight away. His assistant Benny took the pictures of the groom before the wedding. He offered some advise before the wedding and made the guys feel at ease. They were both very professional and adapted to our last minute schedule changes. Kenny was able to send us some pictures right after the wedding to use in our thank you notes.
Kenny is incredible. We did 2 engagement shoots with him before hand so we knew going into the wedding day how talented he is. However, he exceeded our expectations. The day of the wedding he met me at the hair salon and started the day taking photos of us getting ready. He set the mood for the day, its not always easy keeping the bride calm--and I can't imagine working with anyone better.
When we got to the venue-another event was still going on. Kenny was able to use his imagination and do our first look, wedding party pictures, and pictures of my husband and I in areas I would have never thought to use. He was so great with me--even when I became irritated (having your picture taken a million times can become daunting). He got the large wedding party and family pictures done so quickly. He even convinced us to take one photo we didn't want to take the time to take in front of our venue--which happens to be our favorite photo of all. He is so talented as a photographer. We are still getting compliments from our guests that the photographer was everywhere. Everyone loved Kenny.
I would recommend Kenny Pang photography to any bride. Kenny is awesome and we hope to work with him again in the future.
Wedding: 6/27/2014
Take it from a camera shy bride and an even more camera shy groom: we have never felt so comfortable in front of a camera and that's all thanks to Kenny Pang! Right away we could tell Kenny knew what he was doing. He was very professional in a down-to-earth kind of way. All of the smiling and laughing in our photos is genuine because we were so relaxed and truly having a great time! As soon as you meet Kenny, you can immediately see that he loves what he does and it certainly shows in his work. As we go through our engagement and wedding photos my husband has repeatedly said the same thing - Kenny has that artistic eye, that ability to capture the emotion of a moment, and he knows how to find those special moments, even at a wedding of over 200 people. Our family and friends can't stop gushing that ours are the best wedding and engagement photos they've ever seen, and that includes their own! You would think that a photographer of such high caliber would cost a fortune, but Kenny's prices are very reasonable. We had a second photographer (his second was excellent as well!) and the cost did not break our very strict budget so that was a big relief. We feel so lucky to have found Kenny and we just can't say enough good things about him! If you're planning a wedding, schedule a meeting with Kenny ASAP. You'll be so glad you did. :)
Wedding: 6/6/2014
My husband and I got married in Shakespeare Garden in Central Park on 6th June 2014 and Kenny has made this day unforgettable! Having never visited New York before he truly captured a beautiful day in an amazing city, which is exactly what we asked for! Coming from Europe and therefore not being able to meet Kenny until a few days before the big day, he was extremely helpful via email. His excitement on the day made it so much fun for us as well as our 8 guests. He knew all the key spots to hit in Central Park, Grand Central Terminal and we finished off in Times Square. The end results are phenomenal! Kenny is spontaneous, a true professional and a genius with the camera. He knew exactly when to jump in and take command of our meandering guests and was unobtrusive for the remainder. We cannot thank him enough for the magical memories that are our gorgeous wedding photos. We truly recommend him to every bride and groom to be!!
Wedding: 8/24/2013
We hired Kenny for our wedding, and he was phenomenal. He has a really easy going and cheerful demeanor that made us (2 introverts) feel comfortable in front of the camera. He showed up early to scope out the hotel/location. Seeing his professionalism and artistic setups, we knew our photos would be great. After getting the photos, we were blown away by the versatility and the artistry. He is a true artist! His photos are creative and really captured our day. We cannot say enough good things about him!
Wedding: 5/18/2013
Kenny rocks! He did our engagement & wedding photos. To start off, he is one of the friendliest we met during the wedding planning process! And not only is he super talented, but also very affordable - things add up very quickly during the wedding process so it is refreshing to meet someone who is not charging an arm & a leg. During our engagement photos in December, he went above and beyond by coming up with creative ways to pose (eg - in front of grafitti, kissing in front of a Christmas wreath, etc.)...they came out so cute we used them for our holiday cards! Since my now husband is a big Celtics fan we even did a fun shoot at a basketball court! And our wedding photos were just perfect - he caught the cutest moments. He loves what he does and you feel so comfortable when he's taking pictures of you! He makes you feel so special on your wedding day! Thank you for being so passionate about what you do :)
Wedding: 3/22/2013
Kenny has a positive, inviting personality. He was my first photographer interview and I booked him on the spot. You cannot beat his price and expertise. I purchased a basic package and was still treated like VIP and have amazing pics. He captured precious moments and kept himself insanely busy throughout the entire party. My favorite quote of the day "And we're walking"! He kept control and had fun with a very strong and loud wedding party. I feel fortunate to have found Kenny Pang photography and will use him in the future as my family expands
Wedding: 10/1/2011
Kenny was a JOY to work with. I am camera-shy and he made me feel so comfortable in the engagement photos we did, and again at my wedding! He was not the cheapest option but he was reasonably priced and did a PHENOMENAL job! Thank you Kenny!
Wedding: 6/4/2011
We hired Kenny Pang for our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He is absolutely the best we have ever seen. He is so talented, and he works by himself. He makes you feel like a celebrity, and he gives you about 1000 pictures at the end of it all. We have absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say about him.
Wedding: 9/25/2010
Can't say enough about Kenny -- he was terrific from start to finish. The ultimate professional, but so fun and easy to be around, which is exactly what you want in a photographer who will be with you for the entire day. His eye for a good picture is unparalleled. If you're looking for a more journalistic style, choose Kenny! Choosing him was hands down the best decision we made when it came to selecting our vendors.

Chiang Khong sunrise
Chiang Khong … don't think we've written about this charming little Mekong riverside town yet so to make up for our glaring omission here's a series of colourful sunrise photos of this remote yet scenic border settlement.
Actually first up are a couple of sunset pics taken from a vantage point above Chiang Khong town and looking east over the Mekong to Laos' Bokeo province. Facing east with hills behind you're a bit limited sunset-wise but if you can get up early enough there's some awesome sunrise views to be had.
Now to confess, we're not the best at getting up early — even if some spectacular views are to be had — so I did actually purloin some of these photos from my wife and before you cynics out there start making 'fell asleep on the saturation button' type comments, the more colourful images were taken on a cheap old camera which, though totally incapable of reproducing anything like true colours, does come up with some pretty wacky alternatives of its own.
Chiang Khong lies of course in Chiang Rai province and being opposite the Lao town of Huay Xai is a major entry point for travellers and tour groups heading into the LPDR. Yes, it's where you head up north to photograph hill-tribes in Muang Sing or board the boat for the de-rigueur Mekong trip to Luang Prabang but even if you're not heading across the border this very pleasant town is worth a visit anyway. It possesses a good selection of eateries and accommodation and there are plenty of interesting sites around. More details and practicalities on Chiang Khong will come in a later post — this one's just an excuse for a few pretty pics. So … one for the road!
All sunrise photos were taken from the riverfront (or various hotel balconies) in Chiang Khong.

Aging Farmers
By Ross Stinemetz, Matthew Long-Middleton & Suzanne Hogan
Over the last few decades, the landscape and daily operations of the American farm have changed dramatically; technology, crop prices, crop technique and farm size. But one thing that has stayed the same is the individual farmers who are adapting to these techniques. Here's a startling statistic, for each farmer younger than 25, there are five who are 75 or older. And also, 25% of farmers are over the age of 65, which means retirement in the farming community is being prolonged.
Host Suzanne Hogan looks at the aging farmer and the future of agriculture with guests Grant Gerlock, reporter for NET News and Bruce Johnson, Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

So what about scalping the old-fashioned way? Is it a good idea to buy tickets from guys in dark coats skulking around outside the venue?
David Payne bought tickets for an international rugby test match on eBay. He paid double the face value for the tickets but says it was worth it. "I missed out on getting tickets and I really wanted to go, so I was willing to pay the extra," he says. David had heard the tickets could be cancelled if they were traced to the internet site but decided it was worth the risk. "The seller gave me the row number the seats were in but not the actual seat numbers, so hopefully they couldn't be cancelled," he says. He felt pretty confident after reading the seller's positive feedback and asking him a couple of questions. "I'd definitely do it again if there was something I really wanted to go to," he says.

Emma Emmets : Playground Matchmaker
Baker & Taylor
Surveying her classmates at the start of a new school year, Emma discovers her talents as a matchmaker and successfully pairs up a number of couples before attempting a match with a super-popular fourth-grader that results in unexpected loneliness. By the best-selling author of
How My Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller
Baker & Taylor
When fourth grader Emma Emmets decides to use her matchmaking skills on her classmates, her actions have unintended consequences.
Penguin Putnam
How will Emma make her mark this school year? Will she…
a) Bring love to her fellow classmates
b) Become the most popular girl in school
c) Finally meet her crush, teen singing sensation Jake LaDrake
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE!
On the first day of school, Emma Emmets surveys her classmates and sees plenty of shared interests, crushes not being acted upon, and people too afraid of cooties to know what they're missing. Emma tries her hand at uniting lonely Leah and nerdy Otto . . . and a matchmaker is born.
After successfully matching bullies, dorks, athletes, and weirdos, she's ready for her most high-profile client yet: Isla, a fourth grader so popular she hangs out with the fifth graders. But when Emma's efforts go terribly awry, she finds herself with a powerful new enemy.
Suddenly life on the playground is horribly wrong. With all her classmates blissfully paired off, Emma's left with no one! Is the matchmaker destined to be alone?

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The National Air and Space Museum has established the Postdoctoral Earth and Planetary Sciences Fellowship to support scientific research in this area. Scientists in the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies concentrate on geologic and geophysical research on Earth and other terrestrial planets, using remote sensing data obtained from Earth-orbiting and interplanetary spacecraft. Research also focuses on global environmental change.
Appointments can be made for one or more years. Stipends are compatible with NRC postdoctoral fellowships in the applicant's field.
CEPS anticipates the availability of two post-doctoral positions in the coming year. One position may be in any area of planetary science research. Applicants for the second position must focus on at least one of the following research areas: Analysis of (1) radar data for Venus and integration with geologic mapping, (2) lunar radar images for studies of impact melt and other deposits, (3) SHARAD sounding data for Mars with an emphasis on polar deposits. Skills in quantitative remote sensing analysis, planetary mapping and tectonics, GIS integration of remote sensing data, and electromagnetic modeling are potentially relevant.
No fellowship opportunities are available at this time. For more information, please email Rosemary Aiello.

No, using an anchor means to use another scent (EO) to help keep the fleeting EO around longer. Patchouli and Litsea cubeba are anchors I have used with success, but also keep in mind that lavender used at 1oz. per pound of oils will have good scent for up to 1 year without an anchor. ; make soap to last you for a year at a time of usage (and friends) and the scent should not be a problem. :).
Many soapers when starting out don't use nor know about anchors, I am sort of sorry that I have mentioned it in here, but now you are aware. Hope I didn't confuse you the situation much:( This is not needed for FOs, for FOs should be designed to having staying power incorporated. A FO without staying power has not been designed well and you should look elsewhere. |

Tina, Ron was actually replying to another thread about infusing green tea for scent in making Cold Process Soap. Simply~Essential Oils don't have as long a holding power usually in Cold Process soap, so a soaper will often use and anchor scent to hold the EO longer. But I think it's more of a cold process thing than a M&P thing. |
Thanks terri_pacnw . Yes, between my browser and this site, my response has been misplaced. As well, my comment was for CP (cold process) soap (for I do not make M&P). Please refer to the other "green tea infusion" thread to make some sense out of what I had typed above. |

We offer hospice to special needs and elderly dogs, caring for them until the end of their lives. Each animal has so much to offer and we learn so much by opening our hearts to these deserving companions.
When a dog comes into rescue he or she is evaluated carefully. All dogs receive vaccinations and are spayed or neutered, and some dogs receive additional medical care or behavior modification. We work with each dog, giving them the love and structure they need to move onward. Dogs stay in foster homes until they are matched with their ideal family. We want these adoptions to be life long, and take this very seriously!
Volunteers help in the transporting of dogs from shelters, socializing & walking, bathing, fostering and assisting at mobiles. Email us if you have even two hours a week and want to make a real difference in these animals' lives.... you won't be sorry!

You are invited to come to our Mobile Adoptions every Saturday! Locations may vary, please see our website for location and time.Thank you!
Our Adoption Process:
We adopt dogs to homes in Northern California. Very few exceptions are made, and we never ship dogs. We receive many wonderful applications from people in the Pacific Northwest, Canada and Southern California. The issue with long-distance placements is this: We have no reliable way of getting the dog back to us if the adoption falls through. For this reason we must deny these applicants.Adopters will sign a contract stating that the dog is to be returned to rescue if they are unable to keep the animal. We will take a dog back at ANY time. It is our deep commitment to these animals that they not be returned to shelters. We will also provide you lifelong assistance.... Please contact us at any time with questions about health, nutrition and behavior. We'd rather meet up with you and do some needed training than to have you surrender the dog. Adoptions are a life-long commitment. We are here to help you fulfill the promise to your new dog.
Dog Adoption Fees
Questions about adoption fees are often the first we hear when speaking with potential adopters. We'd love to take a moment to break it down for you! Adoption fees can vary, depending on medical issues, age, breed and medical condition of the dog. Special exceptions are made for senior dogs and for families with special circumstances. Donations above the "fee" amount are considered tax-deductible by law.
Adoption fees for DOGS are a sliding scale, generally between $250 and $350. We will always try to lower the fee if you have special needs. PUPPIES and certain dogs may have higher adoption fees..... this is merely due to the costs associated with doing rescue.

I just heard from PNB that Joshua Grant is injured, so Batkhurel Bold is taking his part in "Million Kisses."
Also, Karel Cruz is injured, so the Black Swan pas de deux with Carrie Imler has been cut. :( No word yet about whether there is going to be something in its place.
Ballet and injuries…they pretty much go together. Sigh.

Yep. Yesterday was my birthday. So I'm seventeen! Yay! My boyfriend came over after school...*grin*. First was playing cards and hanging out, then mom got the Chinese (we always have Chinese for my b-day cuz its my fave). Then we ate and had cake & ice cream. Then presents. From mom & dad I got the league of extraordinary gentlemen on DVD. From my grandparents I got a book of Nathaniel Hawthorne short stories. A froggy (my fave animal) candle holder thing from an aunt. And the coolest hat from my bro. When I can find the digicam I'll take a pic. Correction, when I find the batteries for the cam I'll take a pic. But anywho. A few days ago I wrote a letter to my boyfriend, but I didn't give it to him. I'm not sure if I should. I'll copy it here and ask for your advice. p.s. names have been changed.
I think I mentioned this to you before but I can't remember. And I think that I lied a little bit. I'm afraid to say this, though...even though I should feel comfortable telling you things. But...I don't know.
What I wanted to tell you is this:
I cut myself. In my freshman year I was wcked depressed and suicidal. I got put on Zoloft, which I hate because it makes me into an emotionless zombie. I tried to kill myself twice (while on the Zoloft!) but my mom/doctor/guidance counselor only know about the first time. They said that if I tried it again I'd be put in a mental hospital. Like in Girl, Interrupted.
Sophomore year was great, mostly. I figured out who my real friends were, and I met you. Did I ever tell you that I've had a crush on you since Sept. 2003? Well, I have.
There was something else that I was struggling with at that time, which was my sexuality. There were things that happened in my past that led me to believe that I was attracted to girls, as well as boys, sexually. To tell you the truth, I even had a crush on Pisces at one point.
Right now, though, I don't know what I am, so I just use the term "curious." But you're the only one I want to be with! I trust you more than anyone so that's why I want to tell you this.
Currently (recently) I've been having thoughts about death. I've been taking my medicine, but I still feel like I want to die, or be dead, or something. I'm afraid to lose what I've worked so hard to gain. And part of me wants to be in control of my death, to know when and how it will happen.
I've cut myself in the past two weeks, although only small cuts, once or twice on my left arm. I don't know what else to do, because I don't want to go to a hospital, or anywhere. Thanks for listening, though.
He loves you right? So he should know. Who knows, he might be able to help you through this. Not telling him seems almost like telling a lie. I think it is important to tell him.

Dominic, a longtime listener and supporter of Dare Waves, WRUW, and college radio in general, will be taking control of Dare Waves this Wed July 2nd, from 7:30-10:00 PM. During last April's telethon, Dominic showed his support for Dare Waves on WRUW by donating at the $100 level for airtime on Dare Waves. Since then, Neal and Dom have been working hard on planning the content of this special show. Dom's plan is to play two and a half hours of music that he has discovered by listening to Dare Waves and other college radio shows thru the years, playing bands like Foetus and Throbbing Gristle. So expect an amazing show this Wed, as Dominic sets the controls for the entire July 2nd edition of Dare Waves.
Every spring, WRUW holds its once-a-year, on-air fundraiser, and pledges can be made for airtime on Dare Waves, or any show on the WRUW schedule. Start saving your money now, so you can donate in April of 2009 and appear on the WRUW show of your choice!
WRUW has been providing commercial-free, alternative programming, for over 40 years. Being commercial-free, WRUW depends heavily on listener support, especially during its annual telethon. It's because of your support that WRUW can continue to provide music and viewpoints not readily available on the commercial end of the radio dial. We couldn't do it without your help - THANK YOU!!!

Broadly, the systematic study and description of books. The word can refer to the listing of books according to some system (called descriptive, or enumerative, bibliography), to the study of books as tangible objects (called critical, or analytical, bibliography), or to the product of those activities. The purpose of bibliography is to organize information about materials on a given subject so that students of the subject may have access to it. A descriptive bibliography may take the form of information about a particular author's works or about works on a given subject or on a particular nation or period. Critical bibliography, which emerged in the early 20th century, involves meticulous descriptions of the physical features of books, including the paper, binding, printing, typography, and production processes used, to help establish such facts as printing dates and authenticity.
This entry comes from Encyclopædia Britannica Concise.

On Monday, October 7, a second set of charges was added to the charges already filed against the 15-year-old male student accused of repeatedly bringing a gun on Winona Senior High School property.
On September 20, the juvenile allegedly brought the gun to a Winona Senior High School football game. After the game the student allegedly pulled the gun out of his sweatshirt pocket, held it at waist height, and pointed it at a female student near the tunnel entrance.
The victims father called police on October 2 to report the incident. Other students present at the time of the incident corroborated the story.
The juvenile, currently held in a secured detention center, is being charged with second-degree assault and possession of a dangerous weapon on school property related to the incident on September 20.
The juvenile was previously charged with second-degree assault, possession of a dangerous weapon on school property, and terroristic threats related to incidents that occurred in September. At that time the student was accused of pointing a gun at another student.
There will be a community outreach forum to discuss school safety in the Winona Senior High School auditorium on Thursday, October 10, at 6 p.m.

nursing exams
0Jun 11, '13 by LOLA184So angry at myself, I had my exam Monday, I don't know how I did but feel pretty awful about it. I changed at least 3 or 4 answers that I had right already. So now my question is, do you ever change your answer or stick to the saying 'go with your first instinct'?? I have my final in two Weeks and im leaning towards maybe I shouldnt change any answers!
0Jun 11, '13 by bluedove1I learned the hard way not to be the eraser queen.......what I do now is that if I am not sure I don't spend a ton of time on the question I will leave it blank and put a star by it and come back to it because our exams are done the old fashion way paper, pencil, scantron so it is easy for me to come back to it at the end....but you must remember to be on your p's and q's about time management.....this way I don't get eraser happy....or even some times I use eraser-less pencils...this way I am "short" if I don't narrow the choices down right the first time....I am trying to get in the habit of know that I know that I know
0Jun 11, '13 by loriangel14 GuideNever never EVER do I change my answers. I also never go back over my exam. Do it and hand it in.
0Jun 11, '13 by B00PYes, don't use that eraser. If you think an answer is what you think it is, leave it at that. Plus it feels worse when you erase it and then it was the right answer than if you just plain got it wrong. Also, don't look to far into the question because that often is the reason I use to erase.
2Jun 11, '13 by Don1984, RN, BSNI will go over the test again and read each question slowly. If I misread a question then I will change it. If I am not sure about the answer I chose then I leave it.
0Jun 11, '13 by LOLA184Yes I am definitely kicking myself in the behind for erasing. I know of two I changed that would have been right. This is my second time taking this class (last chance) so I am hoping I am successful! My first exam I did well but this one im very nervous about! Its a six week course my final is 6/24 & I already started studying because I so badly want to do well! Also time is not a worrisome for my exams. I have an ED plan so I sit in a room alone (with a proctor of course) & if the allowed time is 90 mins then im allowed 180 mins. that extra time is good but bad BC thats when I start to second guess myself. My first test I put a tack through my eraser I wish I did that again this time around!
0Jun 11, '13 by Annachu512Yeah I never change answers. If I'm unsure, I skip it and go back. A lot of the time, another question will clue me on on that past skipped question! After I go back to skipped answers, I check my Scantron sheet and that it. I turn it over and don't look at it again. It's so easy to start second guessing yourself.
0Jun 11, '13 by SubSippiWhen I was in school, I was the worst about changing my answers, especially at first. I talked to one of my teachers and she told me that I HAD to quit doing that, even if one switch was right, "answer changers" usually do it to to a few questions, so it almost always causes the grade to drop, and almost never gets you a better grade. She also told me to quit arguing with myself so much, and to not play the what-if game in my head. It was very hard to listen to her the first time, but after I noticed a significant increase in my test score, I continued to use her advice. Never failed a test after that!! If you always change your answers, stop!!!!
0Jun 11, '13 by Mandy0728I've always been told by my college professors that you should never change an answer on a test....however, for me- its worked in my favor many times. I would always circle or star questions I wasn't sure on or answers I wasn't positive on & I'd go back over the test like 3 times & sometimes I'd come across an answer & realize that it was something else. Usually on questions that I'm debating between 2 answers, I usually stick with my first choice
0Jun 11, '13 by SopranoKrisI always re-read my exam & review my answers, in case I misread a question. That is the only time I change answers. If it's multiple choice, I rarely change the answer. Usually your gut instinct is right most of the time

Council Goals for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2015
- Every two years, the City Council adopts goals to guide City financial planning and progress toward strategic objectives.
- A new Financial Forecast is under development for fiscal years 2011-2015. It will be oriented towards accomplishment of adopted goals.
Goal development was the result of Councilmember suggestions and public input. The top goals are broad imperatives that will, of necessity, include many of the more narrowly tailored goals. Accordingly, the goals were consolidated to reflect this reality.
At the regular City Council meeting of April 19, 2011, Council adopted this list of 2012-2015 Consolidated Goals.

Movie Review: Speed
In the movie Speed, I feel that the main points which would make me want to watch this movie is the tremendous action sequences, the acting and cinematography.
The action sequences in the movie are very entertaining, and very fast. When Keanu Reeves picked the part of Jack, he knew that he would be doing a lot of action in this movie. He could have filmed a different movie with less action, but I feel the movie would not have made it big. This movie made a total of $145 million dollars in the box office, and is the number one movie. The most exciting parts of the movie are when the characters are on the speeding bus and must race against time to stop the villians from destroying the bus completely. There is a lot of exciting suspense, because the movie literally leaves you on the edge of your seat with excitement about what is going to happen next. The special effects helped out in the action scenes, because there were many explosions and exciting actions sequences which needed a special effect to truly impact the big screen. Therefore, I feel the special effects is what makes this movie so exciting.
The parts of Jack and Annie and the villian bomber are played with much charisma by Kenu Reeves Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper as the bomber. In the parts where they don't know what will happen to the bus, Keanu Reeves displays much acting range, which allows him to get upset, and angry but still able to be strong against Dennis Hopper. Sandra Bullock played the woman driving the bus, and I new that she was going to be the biggest star of them all after this part.
The movie was set in LA, which means the director had to film the action all on the freeway, which can get dangerous, especially if you don't know what you are doing and have to drive through it. His cinematography allows me to see the setting and enjoy the action sequences more, because it is all real, and not on a studio where it would not have been as believable. I commend the director for his excellent portrayals of this.
Overall, this movie is a fine movie and did well in the box office because it had tremendous action sequences, acting, and cinematography. They will probably make a sequel to this movie, because it made it so big in the box office, they can make even more money, and the actors can have more excellent parts in it.

Paleoenvironments of Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho, and Its Catchment |
Paleoenvironments of Bear Lake, Utah and Idaho, and Its Catchment
Geological Society of America Special Paper 450 ISBN: 9780813724508 Edited by Joseph G. Rosenbaum and Darrell S. Kaufman Bear Lake is located 100 km northeast of Salt Lake City and lies along the course of the Bear River, the largest river in the Great Basin. The lake, which is one of the oldest extant lakes in North America, occupies a tectonically active half-graben and contains hundreds of meters of Quaternary sediment. This volume is the culmination of more than a decade of coordinated investigations aimed at a holistic understanding of this long-lived alkaline lake in the semiarid western United States. Its 14 chapters, with 20 contributing authors, contain geological, mineralogical, geochemical, paleontological, and limnological studies extending from the drainage basin to the depocenter. The studies span both modern and paleoenvironments, including a 120-m-long sediment core that captures a continuous record of the last two glacial-interglacial cycles. |

Sculpture of Capilano University president still not returned to art instructor
Capilano University art instructor George Rammell sounds upset.
"It's day 30 of the heist, and they still haven't returned it," Rammell told the Straight by phone last Friday (June 6).
Rammell was referring to an effigy he created depicting university president Kris Bulcroft wrapped in an American flag and holding a poodle.
The unflattering sculpture was seized by the university from the school grounds on account of it being tantamount to workplace harassment. Rammell discovered the piece missing in early May.
CapU has offered to return the artwork on the condition that it's not to be displayed again on campus.
But since the effigy was dismantled after it was removed, Rammell said that he wants to restore the piece first on campus.
"They didn't want me to work on it on campus. I told them, no, that's not fair. I have a right to work on it on campus," he said.
As to the condition that it's not going to be exhibited again on university grounds, Rammell is willing to yield.
"What I told them is that I would concede to not showing it on campus. That's different," he said. "I disagree with them, but in order to get it back if they're going to censor me from showing it on campus, that's their problem. I can live with that because I want to show it off campus."
According to Rammell, the sculpture called Blathering on in Krisendom is currently subject to a grievance process between the faculty association and the university.
CapU did not provide a spokesperson available for interview.
It will feel so good when you stop.
We don't want to be left with the impression that your lesson to your students is that they can make their way in the world by openly insulting people to whom they owe their loyalty.

I had NO idea this place was just 20 minutes from my home until my good friend told me about it. Oh, I was in plant and orchid heaven...Please enjoy since many of you will recognize many plants here:-0) It's an old rustic castle home with beautiful walking trails and greenhouse added onto the walls of this building. A great place to escape to and learn so much from. It's warm in there and all the plants are in pots! A great place to escape to in the heart of winter. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow...beautiful! How is that greenhouse heated? I could stay in there all day! You're in Michigan? I was born in Detroit. Now live in NJ. My Aunt lives in Dearborn Hgts. |

WOW here too, so many plants I would love to get my hands on LOL...I'm so jeaous, I wish I had a place like that here...most of the nurseries around here only sell trees, and if they have houseplants, 98% of them are basic plants you can find anywhere...and you just discovered this place?? maybe I need to do some more reearch to see if I have a place like that somewhere near, I'd even be willing to travel a ways for it. Thank you for the photos. -FPT |
Yowza, Mike! What a wonderful place to visit! I can just imagine that scent, only found in greenhouses... and what a huge collection, and a lot of work for someone and crew! Thank you for sharing your visit! Absolutely divine! So, did you bring anything home with you... besides pictures? |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 8:46
Fantastic pictures Mike, I could see myself spending a long day there. Where in Michigan is this place. I am not too far from Michigan, I tried to google it but only came up with a Lyman Estate and Greenhouse in Mass. |
What beautiful pictures! Gorgeous plants. What is the pink flowering plant in the 7th pic? The leaves and flower shape remind me of foxglove. The Flame Violet beside it is nice too. Marg |

Mike. Meet me at the airport tomorrow morning at 7am. You and I are going to Lyman's Castle, to browse and buy. Not that I'm buying anymore plants. :) I can comment on every pic, but there's too many. Would you happen to know what the pink bell-shape flower is? Orchid flowers are so big and beautiful! I want a tree fern. lol The variegates are amazing..And the orange flower...WOW..is that an orchid? Luv the citrus/lemon...fruit are big. Too many to name. Lyman Castle conservatory would be a great place to visit. 20 minutes away! You should go there daily. lol FTP. Don't look for nurseries. Google/phone book instead, Conservatory. Toni |

Awesome! I bet you loved it, haha! I noticed some great plants in there, a cool "Silver Dollar Jade" as well. Josh |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 13:22
Toni, I didn't find it under Conservatory, either. I came up with Lincoln Park and Taylor Conservatory but no Lyman Estate/Conservatory. Stevi |
I really like the old greenhouse with its heating pipes, window opening mechanism and those lovely old bricks. It is very reminiscent of old lean-to glasshouses here. I love going into them in the winter. |
What beautiful plants. Mike, you don't need to buy any - just convince them that you want to live there and care-take all the plants. They could all be yours for free. :) That lemon tree was something special. Toni, are you coming to MA? Before you hang out with Mikey - we should do tea. :) |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 14:24
I think I am a little confused here, for some reason I thought Mike lived in Michigan, but he lives in Massachusetts? That would be why the only Lyman Castle I find is outside of Boston and not in MI. So I do not see myself visiting Lyman's any time too soon. The photos were beautiful! |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 12 at 21:57
Oh my goodness everyone, I had no idea this thread would take off like this! Well, I kind of thought we all loved plants and would all love to group up at a place like this! So what do you say, let's all hook up and go on a spending spree here! lol Would you believe they only have on person there a day that volunteers to look after the plants!? Yes, I could not believe it. I might join the ranks. Elkay, they heat with oil heat I think. I'll have to check it out. i did find out they have a system that gives them fresh water to water with. Yes, Massachusetts it is! Now, if you are ever in the area, let me know and I will take you there. You can buy anything you want you just can't find anywhere. Did you all happen to notice what looks like a Rhododendron in the Yes, I could spend all day here, and in fact, go there at every chance I have just to be at peace and examine every plant there along with looking at how they are cared for and what they thrive in 18th picture down? I thought is quite unusual. Rosey...lol I have thought of sleeping there for a fee...Caring for those plants for free.lol Toni, Come on up! Bring a lot of cash with you. By the way, did I tell you that only here can you buy the most unusual pots too?;-) Josh, you noticed..lol Jodik, how did you know? lol By the way, I'll be going back there Saturday to buy one of those Chocolate smelling ones for sure. I mean, they smell like a rich deep Chocolate smell! Thank you for walking with me everyone. I just knew you would all enjoy this place as I do every time I go back. There is always something new and something to learn. It is never boring. It is like somewhere over the rainbow:-) Mike |

Ok... Where are the cots? Im ready for my nursery retreat!!!! MIke? You ready? Love all of the pics.. sigh.. so nice!! Laura |
Mike, so, am I reading correctly that they actually sell plants out of this greenhouse? Did you wander across any of those mini bonsai plumies there? This would be a lot closer trek than going to Logees for me, after all - since shipping this time of year (especially on tropicals) might be a disaster ensured to happen. You don't need a cot - you're already used to giving up your bedroom to house plants - imagine sleeping among all those lovely scented beauties. Surely, a cot really isn't a necessity, is it? :D |

Production quality is just one of the factors we'll be looking for in this contest. But it isn't difficult to produce a great looking video if you put a little thought and effort into it. You don't need to own a $2,000 iMac or a $3,000 camera to make a great looking video.
There are plenty of affordable cameras that shoot great quality video that are under $200. You don't need expensive lighting equipment either. There are a plethora of choices for HD recording devices such as flip cams which can be placed on a small tripod for stability. It also helps to shoot in well lit areas. Go outside on a sunny day if needed. Something as simple as removing a lamp shade and bringing it closer to your hands helps a ton! Also, you don't need to OWN equipment either, go to your local school and there's bound to be something available to rent out, even if it's just for a day.
Try this, get a cardboard box and glue/tape aluminum foil on it and use it as a reflector in the daylight to bounce the sun into necessary areas. Go to your local Wal-Mart and purchase a white poster board and use that as a reflector, you will be surprised how much this helps. I know because I've done it! It's amazing how much better a video will look if it is properly exposed. Remember though, shadows can also be your friends if treated properly.
But before you begin, make sure to clean your set (don't have a mess in the background) and frame it right. Experiment to see which flourishes look best from different angles. When you complete a video, show your friends! Get everyone's honest opinion, don't just ask people who will praise the positives. Get real world critique from your friends/family and possibly others to get insight on what could be improved and refine the result from there. I do this in my work on a weekly basis and sometimes, I have to recut/reshoot something five different times in five different ways. It gets crazy but the result will speak for itself. You'll be glad you did it. Play around with different soundtracks!
Remember, a tool is only as good as the person using it and even expensive tools can't produce a work of art if there is no craftsmanship. A great, creative, and original effect/cardistry move will speak for itself. Don't be discouraged and don't be afraid to experiment a little!// andrei jikh

One more thing! Here are some tools and bits of advice to making a great production. Let's break it down into 3 easy steps. Lights, camera, action! I don't mean to scare anyone away with information overload but if anyone is looking to improve their skills quickly and effectively, this relatively small guide will do just that. I'll preface it with saying some of the best theory11 videos have been made with zero budget, Home Depot lights, and the tools found hereunder - so NO excuses!
Expensive lighting equipment is NOT a necessity. Cheap Home Depot lights often do the job. Improving video can be as simple as taking off a lamp shade and bringing it closer to the action. Use a reflector if going outside (purchase a WHITE poster board from Wal-Mart for less than $5 and use it as a reflector outside to bounce sun light into proper places if necessary).
Home Depot is your friend, they carry $10 clip on lights that work extremely well. Get 2 or 3 and you have yourself a small studio setup. Wrapping aluminum foil around the edge of the clip on lights produces an impromptu french door which allows limited control over the light's direction/intensity. Using something to soften the light also helps (like frosted glass, clear plastic, or my favorite - bubble wrap!) try to avoid DIRECTLY blasting yourself with light. Bounce it off the wall or ceiling.
Video devices such as flip cams are awesome, they are light, provide great quality, and are inexpensive. Because they are light, they can be difficult to stabilize so use a tripod and avoid swiftly panning and jerking the camera. Camcorders are a little more expensive than flip cameras but provide more features such image stabilization, different frame rates, superior low light capabilities and are much easier to balance and stabilize due to the heavier weight. As previously mentioned, try to avoid sudden pans and keep it smooth.
The revolutionary still cameras that enable shooting video are called DSLRs. They are by far the best thing on the market. Amazing cameras with large sensor sizes. This means control over depth of field (the background bluriness) and the ability to shoot in low light. They are relatively inexpensive but are the most expensive on this list.
Our recommended choice for shooting videos, hands down. When purchasing the DSLRs, avoid buying them with kit lenses as they are not that great and add an unnecessary $200-300 to the price tag. Instead, purchase the Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, more commonly known as the "nifty fifty", an amazing lens for just $100. There are a plethora of tripods under $20 that do the job, search on Amazon for "tripod" and you will find everything you need. As with everything, always experiment - try setting your camera on a chair or a desk for impromptu stabilization. Finally, the difference between a cheap tripod and a GREAT tripod is the fluid head which allows for silky smooth pans.
- KODAK Zi8
- Flip UltraHD
- Sony HDR-CX 160
- Canon T2i (Highly recommended, $500)
- Canon T3i
- Canon 50mm 1.8
Editing Software
Learning how to edit videos can be a daunting task. Thankfully, there are many great programs that take you by the hand and do most of the work for you. The downside? They lack precise control or compatibility with certain formats and are a bit limited in their potential.
PC: Windows Movie Maker :: Awesome program for PCs, very simple, and intuitive. FREE
MAC: iMovie :: Can't get much better than Apple's iMovie. FREE
PC: Sony Vegas :: Aside from Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid, Sony Vegas is an easy learning curve with a lot of versatility, try the demo version first.
MAC: Final Cut Pro :: Doesn't get much better than Apple's Final Cut Pro.
Adobe Premiere Pro :: Amazing. Getting better and better and rivals Apple's FCP.
If you go Hollywood status, you're probably using AVID, SMOKE as your NLE and DaVinci for grading. Epic.
That's about it! Are all or any of these steps or purchases necessary? Absolutely not! They certainly help increase the value of your production and allow you to focus on the big picture without creating a barrier between yourself and your audience.
Chances are, you have some of the items on this list already. The difference between a bad and good production, is effort and craftsmanship. Experiment and as always, have fun.// andrei jikh

LAKE BLACKSHEAR, Ga. -- A winded yet unyielding duo from Tallahassee, Fla., put in the best male and female times at a grueling triathlon Saturday, crossing ahead of hundreds of other competitors at Veterans State Park.
In addition to the 400-meter swim, the 13-mile bike ride and the 5k run, participants in Saturday's triathlon had to brave unrelenting gnats and stifling humidity just to complete the course around the scenic park.
"It was great," 31-year-old Charlie Johnson managed to say while panting after crossing the finish line less than 58 minutes after he dove into the lake.
"It's really a smooth course. I'm definitely going to recommend it. And it was nice having a place to stay that's right there so we didn't have to drive this morning."
Entrants first leap into the water near the Lake Blackshear Resort around 8:30 a.m., where waves of white caps navigated around a series of buoys to fit in their 400-meter dip into the lake.
The swim was followed by a brief transition to mount bicycles as participants set out on a 13-mile loop around the park, which sets on the border of Crisp and Sumter counties.
"The bike course was awesome. It was wind-ey but flat so it was pretty fast," Sandy Holt, Johnson's teacher and the top female finisher said after crossing the finish around 1:35 minutes.
After looping the park, the cyclists dismounted and transitioned again into their running gear to head out on the 5 kilometer run through a different part of the park.

Back in June, Intuit launched QuickBooks Point of Sale 2013, a new version of its popular accounting software that enables mobile-payment processing by integrating GoPayment. The combined products give the nation's 2.8 million small, independent merchants a "robust mobile point-of-sale solution."
Here are five reasons to sync GoPayment with QuickBooks POS:
1. Automatically sync up sales with bookkeeping. GoPayment's software boasts many helpful features, but most business owners still have to combine its transaction information with the rest of their back-office functions. With the integration of GoPayment and QuickBooks POS, your transaction data is automatically synced with the accounting software on an hourly basis (or more often, if you wish).
2. Leverage customer contact information. Customer data collected during transactions (names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) can be transferred from the GoPayment-enabled device into QuickBooks POS. This allows you to better manage this data and use it to send out alerts, offer personalized discounts or gift cards, and even keep tabs on loyalty programs.
3. Track inventory. When GoPayment is synced with QuickBooks POS, your business inventory information is adjusted each time a mobile transaction is completed. This lets you monitor what's in stock in real time and reorder products when your inventory falls below a certain level.
4. Monitor activities at multiple locations. Let's say you have several different mobile devices equipped with GoPayment card readers, and they're being used simultaneously at different locations inside a store or at an event. QuickBooks POS lets you monitor sales from all of the devices on one computer instead of having to check each mobile device manually.
5. Access business reports. With QuickBooks POS, you can generate numerous different reports to identify purchasing trends and track inventory and sales on a daily basis. Syncing GoPayment with QuickBooks POS incorporates all mobile credit card transactions into your bookkeeping so that you can determine how well your mobile-payment initiatives are working.
