The Value of Second Language Education
A brief presented to the
Selected Standing Committee on Education
Thursday, November 1, 2001
Sheraton Guildford Hotel, Surrey, B. C.
by Dennis Hazelton, Diane Tijman and Dinah Lewis, with supporting statements from students Eldar Sehic and Christopher McLean
We would like to start off by thanking the government for providing us with the opportunity to give direct input into change. In spite of being very proud of our school system, there are some changes we would like to see and this forum is most welcomed.
The goal of the BCATML, (B. C. Association of Teachers of Modern Languages), a provincial specialists' association, is to promote and advance the teaching of modern languages throughout the province. We represent approximately 450 active members specialized in the teaching of French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Spanish and other languages in B. C. Our mandate is to present the concerns of second language teachers to the BCTF. and through the BCTF to the government and outside agencies.
As language educators, we strongly believe in the value of second language learning. We, therefore, recommend that B. C. require second language studies not only at the elementary level, as is the current policy, but also at the secondary level where they have no current status as part of the Graduation program. This should be done for three benefits: intellectual, cultural, and economic.
The latest research shows that the study of a second language actually increases the elasticity of the brain. Students find that during their second language studies, their command of English improves as does their ability to acquire other languages more readily.
Culturally, what better way to broaden our understanding of the world, other people and their points of view but through another language. Second language study breaks down barriers and enhances cross-cultural understanding and appreciation not just in our multicultural province but most importantly in the global community which, of late, is clearly in need of much understanding.
Economically speaking, second languages are now becoming a vital part of the basic preparation for an increasing number of careers. Even in those cases where the knowledge of a second language does not help graduates obtain a first job, many report that their second language skills often enhance their mobility and improve their chances for promotion. Key business deals are often closed because of the cultural awareness gained through the study of a second language.
The latest research also shows that second language learning is best obtained by starting at a young age, and we believe that this learning requires proficient teachers and quality materials. To ensure success with second language programs at the elementary level, it is important that the teachers have the linguistic proficiency to deliver the program. Many of our elementary teachers are frustrated with their inability to speak French well, yet they are compelled to teach it. We recommend that funding be put in place to allow such teachers to participate in methodology courses and attend language proficiency courses, and provide them with appropriate teaching materials. For our elementary teachers in training, we also recommend that university education programs include a second language methodology course. This would help to alleviate the anxiety of many beginning teachers.
Currently, high school students are limited in their ability to take second languages because of the graduation requirements. Students tell us that they are left with few options and as a result, often do not enroll or continue their language study. Therefore, we ask what can the government do to give greater value and recognition to language education and give students more choice and flexibility in their options during their high school years?
In conclusion, language education is a vital part of the student's school experience. With some welcome changes as noted above, this education could be more powerful, beneficial, and enhance the opportunities of our young people and ultimately our province. We want to build world class leaders and second language education is an essential key to that goal.
And now we would like to introduce two recent graduates and success stories from the public school system, Eldar Sehic, now a first year student of economics at Simon Fraser University, and Chris McLean, a first year arts student at the University of British Columbia.
Student presentation #1
Eldar Sehic
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I stand here today, with a sense of faith and honour. Through my dear family, and my experiences, I've learned to seek knowledge. All the way from Bosnia, my dear homeland torn by genocide, by evil, I found myself living in this new home, Canada. Learning English was a new challenge. As every challenge has its upsets and its moments of glory, French is no exception. It was a valuable journey, and still is. Yet to be sincere and honest, I'd have to say that in the past, French never really grasped my learning ambition. All I saw in French was a bridge of many bridges, to get to university. Grade 11 French seemed enough for me. Yes, it's a shame that I was, like so many others, blind in seeing the value of learning a language at a young age.
But through it all, I was able to change my perspective. In the summer of 2000, encouraged by my family to go on a 5-week French program, I made my way to Quebec, expecting nothing more than some time to relax. Going there with no particular interest for French, I came back grateful, with great memories of an unforgettable summer, an increased knowledge of French and its culture, and of course this surprising new feeling towards learning this language. As a result of this positive experience, I took Grade 12 French, and completed it successfully with no regrets. In that year I had an opportunity to compete in the French public speaking competition. Once again, I found myself grateful for French. At the same time, it proved to me that what you learn can later benefit you, because you never know what the future holds.
And so as high school ended, as all those bridges were crossed, and the hunger for knowledge and success grew, I'm now taking French in the first semester of university. Keep in mind, French is neither my major, nor a requirement. It is merely a tool to enhance my education, and a doorway to more opportunities. To be truthful, learning French can really develop your mind, and yet some still wonder if knowing it is an asset. Perhaps we need to understand that we live in a country where French is an official language, not to mention its popularity all over the world. Its knowledge seems vital. Aside from the fact that not all students have the opportunity to go to a French-speaking region, many, sadly, can't see the value of knowing French. I hope that you can.
For students to have the necessary education, and to be better prepared for the future, making grade 12 French an essential, is a step forward. Their opportunities rely on family, excellent teachers, and the respected positions that you all hold. Your leadership is needed, your experience respected, and your efforts will be reflected. I believe that if people travel more, and learn more about the world, it will erase ignorance, it will defeat hate and evil, and it will allow people to seek further knowledge, resulting in, I hope, humble success.
I'm thankful for all I've gained, including French. With the doors open, and always challenges to overcome, the opportunities await. In reality, you can lose a lot in life, but you can never lose what you know. So let us keep in mind the importance and the power of communication and knowledge. Let us learn and understand that we'll never know everything. But every time we learn something, it makes a difference, and believe it or not, it can amazingly change the world.
Student presentation #2
Christopher McLean
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen:
My name is Christopher McLean, and I have been invited to speak before you today as a student sincerely interested in second language education. I am currently enrolled as a first-year student at the University of British Columbia, where I am taking the Arts 1 program, and studying Chinese language. I first began taking Mandarin in high school in grade 9, and I continued taking it through grade 12 and now in university.
I am interested in studying language, and to be blunt, I think it is fascinating. In my opinion, language is one of the most important skills we possess. To learn a language can be a frustrating, demanding and time-consuming process, but the rewards are immense. The process of learning Chinese started out difficult and is still a difficult task, but I have found it to have opened many doors for me, and has enabled me to be effective in situations where I would not necessarily have been. Moreover, learning another language, and one so vastly different from English, has allowed me to consider and approach problems, and indeed life, from a greater variety of angles. Languages express different ideas in different ways, and therefore facilitate different approaches to the same problems. This has been a benefit to me in many ways, from normal everyday situations, to writing essays in English.
Knowing a second language can be extremely useful and has a verisimilitude of applications. Therefore, it would be logical to label second language learning as a skill, specifically a skill with a variety of applications, or an "Applied Skill" if you will. This brings me to the second point of my presentation. While at high school, I was nearly unable to take Mandarin in grade 12 because of the necessity of having enough Applied Skills credits for graduation - for which second language courses do not count. Indeed, it was only through a small loophole in the definition of "Applied Skill" that enabled me to do some extra work in my band class and permit it to be both an applied skill and a fine arts course to satisfy graduation requirements.
Language, however, is nothing if not a skill - and a skill which by its very nature must be applied, for it is only in application that it exists at all. Indeed, second language study requires not one skill, but many disciplines: reading, writing, speaking, listening as well as culture, history, music, etc. In fact, second language learning embraces all disciplines.
In conclusion, second language courses are demanding, useful, and in my experience, they should most definitely be labeled as an Applied Skill as part of the Graduation Program.

These are DELICIOUS!!!! They are large, and the big raisins really deliver a sweet burst when you bite into them. You could also use all black raisins for a traditional oatmeal raisin cookie, but I had these raisins in the cabinet and decided to give it a try. The colors in the raisins make them more attractive. Also, you could probably reduce the Splenda by ½ only using ¼ cup because these cookies are very sweet! They are chewy and delicious! As you can see from the picture - they make rather big cookies!

I am looking for a source for color selections of Chlorophytum. Yes, this is the same genus as spider plants but I do not want those. I would like other species and hybrids. If you can help me, you can email me directly at email@example.com.

chlorophytums are my favourite plants, all the spider plants i have seen in the shops are green though, i dont believe you can find them in any different colour but with the first spiderplant i had, i kept taking of its baby plants and i took the baby plants baby and so on, over the years its form and coplour have changed slightly. if you know where i can get different colour chloropytums please tell me where!

'basic' spider plants are mostly green, but they come in several varigated forms too. i have green with a single white stripe down each leave, and from it i have babies with multi white stripes on each leaf ) really striking) another type i've come across is light green with cream doen each edge, its much smaller than others but very nice. peace and green thumbs forever ps all of mine are indoor. |
- Posted by Marguerite Ireland (My Page) on Sat, Feb 7, 04 at 13:07
greengirl, that last one you mention, are the leaves by any chance wavy at the edge? I have one similar to the one you describe, but the leaves are wavy like on the cryptanthus of the same colour. The creamy edge is very slender, regular on all the leaves, which are a light, beautiful green. I think this plant was originally all green, actually, sent to me as a green spider. Also, the new leaves are a bit different from the ordinary spider plant; they arrive like tall, cream and green coloured spears, growing quite tall before they open. |
- Posted by greengirl318 MA (My Page) on Thu, Feb 19, 04 at 0:03
looking at it they have a slight wave to the edge of the leaf, but only on a few . with all my spider plants i find when the new growth stands up for a while, only to slowly hang down you have a happy plant 8) P.A.G.T.F laura |

. I was talking with a Guy who said he had eaten Hydroponic Potatoes when he lived in Calf. I can think of a few ways I might try, but I am sure there are tricks to growing Potatoes. Anyone like to help me out with this. I would like to try Onions and Rashes etc just for fun. / |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have read about growing radishes or potatoes in a bed of 6"-8" of perlite using drip. I grew some radishes in peat/perlite mix and a rock wool starter cube last year as a trial. They grew well and really fast, but I messed up the nutrients and picked too late and the most the radishes were huge and pithy and not very tasty. The radish grew right on top of the rock wool, which was not planted deep enough. Next time I would not use any rock wool or starter cube, just directly seed into medium. Definitely worth another try this year. I think for potatoes, go to farmers market and buy some grown locally, then let grow eyes(roots) and transplant. Good luck! |
I need some input about growing Potaoes hydroponically, I tried before growing successfully Radish and Turnips hydroponically in pure Perlite. If there is a link for hydroponic potaoes I appreciate much your help. |

About the Yarrows. The Achillea tribe are plants of dry, gritty areas, and do not like soil that is too moist or rich. Give yours plenty of drainage.
The fore-runners of these beautiful hybrids have one of the richest histories in the plant world. Long thought of as a magical plant, Yarrows history goes back to Roman times, when it was thought useful in healing warrior wounds. The name Achillea is from Achilles, and the fateful wound of his heel. But it doesn't stop there. Witchcraft and all sorts of magical potions are associated with this plant.
The basic wildflower, Achillea millefolium, has a grayish-white bloom with deep green ferny foliage.

text: Now that the majors have largely written off DJ music -- even standard-bearer Astralwerks is turning its attention to garage rock (Caesars) and singer-songwriters (Sondre Lerche) -- the best beat sculptors are likely to be found in the underground. Maximal techno minimalist Matthew Dear records under the monikers Jabberjaw and false. But he issues his most high-profile cuts under his birth name via Ann Arbor, Mich.-based label Ghostly International. Dear's debut LP, Leave Luck To Heaven, expands on the warm-hued splatter paintings of his early-2003 efforts, EP1 and EP2. He's kept the amorphous sub-bass and sibilant timbres that make his tracks so cozy but added fuller melodies and processed vocals. Tracks like the hiccuping ''Dog Days'' recall classic '80s tech-funk. But Dear's dark breakdowns and agitated rhythms are all his own, and they're proof the underground remains an inspiring place to be. B+

Awesome new Trane XV95 furnace, but as you can see in the picture, it is spilling a whole lot of water onto my basement floor. The old furnace was just draining into a hole in the foundation. This furnace is apparently generating more water, and the hole is not draining the water. I do have a sump pump about 18 feet from the furnace, and it is currently not running, so I do not think under the foundation is saturated. What is going on? Should my HVAC tech have drained this furnace into the sump pump? Thanks in advance. |

My non-expert understanding of newer, higher efficient furnaces is that water as a by product is produced at a greater rate than older, lower efficient furnaces. For example, I have an American Standard duo-speed 80 and also didn't grasp the amount of water it would produce when running (13 gallons/minute I think it is) over our previous furnace. Long story short, just last month a SS chimney liner was inserted for the furnace water effluent and the flue pipe size adjusted. If the sump pump is allowed for a condensing furnace, it sure does seem as a valuable tool. PVC is often used nowadays as a conduit. Sorry, I don't know how a condensing furnace differs from my gas furnace so please ask your installer. More knowledgeable HVAC people should be by shortly. |
It looks like the drain can't handle the volume of water from the new furnace. Do you know if this drain is connected to a sewer or does it drain into the ground? The best solution would be to install a condensate pump. You can run a flexible tube over to your sump pump pit. Below is a link to pump I have on my furnaces. |
Here is a link that might be useful: DiversiTech condensate pump
Yeah, thanks. It looks like I will need a condensate pump. I'm annoyed that was not included in the original quote. And I suppose I can expect even more water in the Summer, from the the air conditioning, correct? So, let me ask -- do these pumps always plug into the wall, or can they be connected to the furnace, and draw power there? It sounds like I do want one that will wire into the furnace to shut it down in the event of a pump failure. My basement is finished, and I do not need any more water on the floor. |
The pump runs off 120V. It has a 24V output which is used to shut down the furnace if it fails. I don't seen the furnace shut off switch. Is it on the other side? I would reconfigure the switch so that it is near the pump and change it to a combination switch and outlet. This is where the pump is where you plug in the pump. The switch only shuts down the furnace. The pump is wired back to the control board in case of a failure. Since you have a nearby finished area I would also install an overflow detector on the output of the coil. This will also shut down the furnace if the drain line is clogged. Since you will be redoing the drain line I recommend you install a clear drain trap. EZtrap makes a nice product. It is a clear tube with snap openings. It comes with a cleaning brush. |

When my similar Trane furnace was installed, the water ran onto the floor. The installer found a tee on the clear drain line inside the unit that was never connected. Removal of the lower front panel was necessary for access. Installer accused me of disconnecting the tee. I had never touched that panel. I think the tee brought together the AC and furnace condensate lines. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Dec 10, 12 at 19:20
Have you called installing dealer about this issue and what was his reply? Not normal or acceptable! This is your starting point before a condensate pump s installed. Your drain is not stopped up? Should be checked but of course just speculating. Water should not be on floor. IMO |

The Genius of Miles Davis Photography Exhibit
On November 21, 2008 the Morrison Hotel Gallery and Sony Music Entertainment's ICON Collectibles will present "THE GENIUS OF MILES DAVIS...The Columbia Years," a photographic exhibition celebrating one of the 20th century's most profoundly influential musicians at the gallery's Bowery location. The exhibit will feature rare and never before seen limited edition fine art prints of Davis taken by Sony staff photographer Don Hunstein, Herman Leonard, Jim Marshall and Lee Wiener between 1955 and 1985. Sixteen 30 x 40 prints will be on display and available for sale at the gallery. Each print has been hand selected from Sony's vast music photography archive, and represents a unique piece of musical history.
Miles Davis was at the forefront of virtually every major development in jazz from World War II through the 1990s. Following the March 1957 release of 'Round About Midnight,' his debut recording for Columbia Records, Davis went on to create an unbroken string of groundbreaking albums for the label, his musical home for more than 20 years. Among his monumental accomplishments during a phenomenally productive period on Columbia Records, Miles pioneered a post-bebop modal jazz with his 1959 masterpiece, 'Kind of Blue', still one of the most commercially and artistically successful jazz albums of all time and launched an ongoing musical revolution with a radical fusion of jazz, rock, funk, electronic and ambient elements on albums including 'In A Silent Way' (1969), 'Bitches Brew' (1970), and 'On The Corner' (1972).
The exhibit will run November 21 through December 31 at the Morrison Hotel Gallery, located at 313 Bowery in New York City. If you are unable to attend the showing, and are still interested in the Exclusive Fine Art Prints they are showing, you can purchase online at the Morrison Hotel Web Site

Okay everyone, I could seriously use your advice. My current phone is on its last leg and I'm eligible to get a new cell phone. The problem is, I have no idea what phone I want to buy. I've been doing some research and feel more confused than ever (everyone seems to say something different). This is where all of you come in; I' hoping you can recommend me.
I'm through Sprint and here is what I'm looking for:
- Smartphone (probably a "duh" in this day and age, but just in case it isn't)
- Touch Screen with Slide Keyboard (I do a LOT of texting and pure touchscreen takes too much time…I know, I'm sure that makes me old.)
- Decent camera (I take a lot of pics of the kid)
I had my heart set on the EVO Shift, but that's been discontinued and replaced with the EVO 3D. In light of this I went on Sprint's site and got a list of available touch phones, that also have a keyboard. The 2 top rated phones were the HTC Arrive (Windows 7 phone…mind you I don't have Windows 7 on any of my home computers so I would not be able to take advantage of the phone/computer features) and the Samsung Epic.
What do all of you think? Do any of you have these phones? Do you have another phone you want to recommend? Please, please, please share with me in the comments below!
Oh and I should probably tell you that I currently have a BlackBerry Bold and HATE the interface, which has turned me off as a BlackBerry fan. I previously had the Curve and LOVED it, but the Bold has been nothing but one problem after another on top of the stupid interface.

Makes about 4 cups
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
In a bowl whisk together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, and the salt. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, and the butter, and stir the mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring until the batter is just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch-square baking pan and bake the corn bread in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is pale golden and a tester comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, invert it onto a rack, and let it cool completely. Crumble the corn bread coarse into 2 shallow baking pans and toast it in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is dried and deep golden.

Season's Greetings
Alan Ayckbourn's wonderfully accomplished Christmas tragicomedy is set in one of those ghastly Yuletide gatherings when celebration has turned to family ritual - although in this case the oldsters and the kids remain unseen.
Marital bliss has long turned to boredom - is that laughter or tears we hear? Booze, interminable meals and old television films pass the time, while the arrival of a dashing male guest provokes lust among all the womenfolk.
When first seen in 1980, this was probably the author's most technically demanding play, given the clunky, often unreliable electronic gear of the period. But 30 years later, the technical accomplishments of the production now mainly lie with a fine cast who can turn mood and meaning midline, perfectly time their witty exchanges and negotiate Rae Smith's hazard-filled setting of cutaway walls and floors on three levels - completing their extended knockabout falls with finesse.
The central figure is housewife hostess Belinda, played with warmth and allure by Catherine Tate, despite being surrounded by Neil Stuke's terminally distracted husband, an over-helpful inebriate in the kitchen (Jena Russell), plus a desperate longing for sex with her sister's new boyfriend. This leads to one of the most effective comedy scenes in the entire play as the two cleave together among the piles of presents under the Christmas tree. "We couldn't wait," she explains, when caught in flagrante.
The second act opens with Mark Gatiss as a failed medic and amateur puppet theatre enthusiast preparing to entertain the children with his Three Pigs playlet - a scene now less funny than when I first saw it in London many years ago. But Gatiss adds pathos to the moment when the enterprise fails and he turns on his keenest critic, a gun-obsessed security freak, played with horrific energy by David Troughton.
The play's ending still has the power to shock, especially when, as here, the tragic closing scene is played straight, bullets fly and a man lies dead. But, of course, there are just one or two more surprises in store to round things off.

From the parentals
Hi Ash - we find the site as you can see. It was so good to talk to you this morning and to hear the excitement in your voice. We are so proud of you for getting out there and doing what you doing. Can't wait to see all the photos. Have a blast on your kayaking trip.
Love you lots
Dad and Sheena
Stanley Park and Vancouver Aquarium
Trip Start
Jun 27, 2007
Trip End
Aug 31, 2007
Stanley Park is just beautiful, full of tall cedars and everywhere you look trees! I took the shuttle around the park which stopped at the totem poles and along a lot of the bays. The driver was really nice and was saying that the most devastating storm in years ripped right though the park and cleared an entire area. He wasn't kidding, there where trees that were 100s of years old ripped out of the ground. The storm was in Dec 06 and park rangers have just finished clearing the trees off the roads. They have not even reached the interior of the park
I then headed off to the Aquarium which was a lot of fun. I saw my first piranha and sloth and managed to get some good photos. What is a Sloth doing in an aquarium you ask? I have no idea but he was in the jungle area in a large butterfly exhibit eating grapes. The aquarium had beluga whales, which I am sorry to say got the wrong end of the ugly stick, this coming from a marine life supporter. There was this HUGE sea lion; I would like to see anyone survive an attack by one of those suckers. I didn't get very good shots of him as he was swimming around too fast. Apart from that the usual things you find in an aquarium. I have got to say that Aqua is still the best aquarium I have ever been too (and I have been to a few) in the world.
Grouse Mountain was no even visible today because of the weather, hopefully tomorrow when Heather and I head up there it will be better, not likely though apparently. Well I am off, going to meet up with Heather and catch up.
I hope everyone is wonderful and keep the comments coming, it is good to hear from you all.
Love Ash

Courtesy California Grape & Tree Fruit LeagueHail covers the ground April 11 at an orchard near Traver, Calif.California stone fruit growers' damage estimates in the wake of an April 11 hail storm have yet to be completed, but some are expected to face massive crop loss.
"We're definitely still in the assessing mode," Barry Bedwell, president of the Fresno-based California Grape & Tree Fruit League, said April 13. "But there are clearly certain orchards that will not see any fruit harvested."
"Peaches, plums and nectarines are all going to be impacted, and nut crops as well," he said. "I don't think there was much in the way of (grape) vines in this area. Tree fruit is going to be the area with the most damage."
Courtesy California Grape & Tree Fruit LeagueYoung nectarines and leaves cover the ground near Traver, Calif., in the aftermath of an April 11 hail storm.While traveling to Bakersfield the day after the hail fell, Bedwell passed some affected areas.
"You could see the amount of leaves taken off," he said. "Half or more was on the ground. The fruit that was still on the tree had pieces split in two. With hail you typically see little nicks and chunks; this was much more intense."
The size and amount of the hailstones exceeded normal storms.
The storm reached from Hanford in the west to near Orosi in the east, with the Traver area hit hardest.
Courtesy California Grape & Tree Fruit LeagueNectarine trees show substantial fruit and leaf loss after a hail storm passed through Traver, Calif.For cherries, the bulk of production takes place to the south of where the storm hit, Bedwell said.
"This was more northern Tulare County," he said. "Cherries are going to have more issues with rain than hail. We're getting rain throughout the state. It's been a very unsettled week. Fresno saw three quarters to an inch of rain. The delta had more."
For all that, the region still lags behind average seasonal rainfall totals.
"The timing would have been better earlier," Bedwell said.
Thundershowers were forecast for Traver and Kingsburg April 13, with a clearing trend predicted to start over the weekend.

The CAR forecast sees sales gaining 1.3 percent next year to reach 530,000 units, up from the projected 2012 sales figure of 523,300 homes sold. Sales in 2012 will be up 5.1 percent from the 497,900 existing, single-family homes sold in 2011.
"The market has improved moderately over the past year, and we expect that to continue into 2013," said CAR President LeFrancis Arnold. "Sales would be even higher if inventory were less constrained in REO-dominated markets, particularly in the Central Valley and Inland Empire, where there is an extreme shortage of available homes. Sales will be stronger in higher-priced areas, where there are more equity properties and a somewhat greater availability of homes for sale."
"Housing affordability has never been stronger - with record-low interest rates and favorable home prices, combining to create a once-in-a-generation opportunity to buy a home in California," said Arnold.
CAR's forecast projected growth in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product of 2.3 percent in 2013, after a gain of 2 percent in 2012. With job growth of 1.6 percent in California, the state's unemployment rate should decrease to 9.
The average for 30-year fixed mortgage interest rates will edge up to 4 percent after six consecutive years of declines, but will still remain historically low.
The statewide median home price is forecast to increase a moderate 5.7 percent to $335,000 in 2013. Following a decrease in 2011, the California median home price will climb a projected 10.9 percent in 2012 to $317,000.
"The housing market momentum which began earlier this year will continue into 2013," said CAR Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. "Pent-up demand from first-time buyers will compete with investors ."

This was my third & final tea of the day. It seems strange to have only drank 3 teas today, but they were all Gongfu sessions, & all 3 teas lasted & lasted & lasted!
Today the short steeps weren't really doing this tea justice for some reason, even after 2 rinses (that I actually dumped out for once). After a few steeps, I remembered that I had planned to try this one using the xingyang parameters this time, but I didn't do that. So maybe I'll continue my "Master Han's Tea Tour" tomorrow, try this again western style, & continue on sampling whatever else I have from the Jedi Master of Teas. Or maybe I'll wake up & want to do something entirely different.

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
there are quite a few guys popping up in straight pron with tramp stamps. Kinda gross.
pron,, is that like Prawn??
This might be a tattoo from a night of drunken fun that went wrong. Somebody gets the bright idea to get a tattoo and the next thing you know you have a butterfly above your asscrack… That's why you get a tattoo when you are sober and THINK IT OVER FIRST!!!
just being optimistic, so maybe its the bottom of a full back tattoo?
"When butterflies fly out of my butt."
What "man" would get a butterfly tattoo? Maybe he isn't very manly regardless of the work he is doing.
Totally gay! Let's be honest here, people.
That is hilarious!
someone watched to much how i met your mother…
Why must one necessarily be "manly" to install flooring? Or any such project? I've done lots of remodeling projects with my dainty little feminine hands.
i'd beat it up.
At first I thought this was a drunken mistake, but now, I think he decided to give the people lookin at his crack something pretty to look at. A distraction from his over exposed crack
with a tattoo like that it's amazing he gets to lay any carpet at all!!
Buster McThunderstick, it's probably the only thing he lays.

There's Nowhere to Run in the New Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Trailer
You might know about the legend of Silas Greaves, but you won't know the truth until you play Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.
When the outlaws of the Wild West went on the run, it was usually to avoid the likes of men hunting them down. Men like Silas Greaves. In Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, trekking through the badlands to track these ruthless bandits is just what you'll be doing.
The latest trailer for Gunslinger tells the story of protagonist Silas Greaves through song, and has a very 70s vibe going for it. It's a little folky, but it suits the genre just fine, and does a nice job building up the Silas' legend. There's a good bit of gameplay in there there as well, and you definitely won't be able to say Gunslinger isn't a bloody, violent shooter. It certainly doesn't look like it will be violent to a gross degree, but in the vein of classic Spaghetti Westerns (with a Tarantino twist).
You can enjoy the new trailer below, and let us know what your favorite Western was in the comments.

What is a Segway?
They are the two-wheeled, one-person electric transportation devices that you may have seen Disney cast members riding around on. The are most commonly seen at Epcot where they were first put on display at an Innovations exhibit in March 2002. They are often seen in the parking lot and throughout the World Showcase.
How cool would it be to ride one of these transporters around the World Showcase? Well, starting on February 14th you can give it a try. A new guest experience called "Around the World at Epcot" will allow guests to operate a Segway HT after a brief training period to learn basic maneuvers and obstacle avoidance techniques. Guests can then ride a Segway through several World Showcase countries before the area opens to guests in the morning.
The two-hour experience will be available to ten people a day at a cost of $80 per person. Park admission is also required. For more details or to sign up, call (407) WDW-TOUR (939-8687).

Father of FM and TV Stereo, Eilers Dies at 83
Lincolnshire, IL - June 23, 2008 - Carl G. Eilers is often considered the father of stereo FM radio and stereo television sound for pioneering work during his 50-year career at Zenith Electronics. Eilers died on June 21, 2008, of an apparent heart attack in his River Forest, IL, home. He was 83.
A native of Fairbury, IL, Eilers joined Zenith in 1948 after receiving his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Through 1961, he worked on the world's first pay television system, Zenith Phonevision, earning key patents on subscription TV technologies. During that period, Eilers led Zenith's development effort on stereophonic FM radio broadcasting. The stereo FM standard he co-developed was first adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1961 and is still in use today around the world.
Two decades later, as R&D manager, Eilers co-developed Zenith's Emmy Award-winning MTS (multichannel television sound) stereo TV system, adopted by the industry in 1984. Through the 1990s, Eilers was a key member of Zenith's HDTV development team.
Over the years, Eilers had been granted 21 U.S. patents and authored numerous technical papers and articles. Eilers' contributions were honored by two technical Emmy Awards for Zenith developments, stereo TV in 1986 and HDTV in 1997.
His many honors include the 1977 Fellow Award from the IEEE, the Best Paper Award of the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society in 1984, the Audio Engineering Society Fellow Award in 1993 and the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award in 1994 for pioneering contributions to FM stereophonic and television multichannel sound broadcasting systems, as well as Zenith's E.F. McDonald and Robert Adler technical excellence awards.
Eilers was inaugurated into the Consumer Hall of Fame in 2000. The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) recognized him for "high-fidelity stereo sound that revolutionized the radio listening experience," as well as enhancing the TV viewing experience. CEA said Eilers "holds a unique place in the annals of consumer electronics technology history as co-developer of two key industry standards."
He was a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 1947, the Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers (SMPTE) since 1956, and the Audio Engineering Society (AES) since 1973. He served as both a member and chairman for a number of their special committees. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1946. He graduated from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN., with his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, in 1948, and received his master's degree in electrical engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, in 1956.

All of the new growth on my dwarf palm becomes dry and brittle very shortly after emerging. Existing foliage is fine. I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried misting it regularly, but that hasn't had a noticeable effect; I thought it might be in the path of air circulation, so I moved it, but that hasn't helped either.
It is currently in a bright room, but doesn't receive any direct sunlight; interior temperature is between 70 and 73 F. Any suggestions? |

One leaf is starting to show the same symptoms, not sure if it shows real well in the photo. I put a red box around it. The leaves stay green, but get dry and brittle. |

Hi Brain. As far as care, you're doing everything correctly. Besides brittle foliage, are any leaves pale or discoloring? The problem that comes to mind is Spider Mites. Since you're misting, add 2-3 drops of dish soap in your spray bottle. Spray thoroughly. On top, undersides and between leaves. First, spray leaves in the sink or shower. After leaves dry, spray via your mister w/soap. Follow these directions, 'below' before wetting leaves. To inspect for mites, first, look for fine webbing. The second thing to do is, place a white sheet of paper under leaves. Gently, tap leaves over paper. Continue tapping in several sections of your palm. If your palm has mites, you'll see little, colored dots on the paper. Depending on your eye-sight, you may need to use a magnifying glass. They're very, very tiny. Smaller than the tip of a newly, sharpened pencil. Soapy water kills Mites. You'll need to spray 2-3 times before Mites die. PS. Palms require air-circulation and humidity. Neanthe's don't need as much humidity as other Palms, but fresh air is a must. |

Don't Forget the Millennials!
If GDP growth is that dependent on workforce growth, and 1990s growth repeats itself -- which was the longest uninterrupted economic expansion in our history that also gave us four years of budget surpluses -- then we may see the next generation about to take charge. They could turn out to be much more industrious than we know!

Sam B.USAHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairLoved ItMy first flat iron was a cheapy from Wal- Mart, and it lasted about a year. I decided to get a higher quality one and decided on a Solia. I wanted it to arrive before school started, but it was backordered, and I chose a CHI instead. I was so happy with it! It worked with my shoulder length hair and even when I had super long hair. I had it with me all 4 years of high school and then it quit on me today, a few months into my freshman year of college. I used it a few times a week, and I'm debating on ordering another or switching brands. But I would recommend it, even though I wish it had lasted longer!posted Oct 16, 2013Link to this post
MelanieFlorida12 Years And Still Kicking!!!When I get my CHI, I was like this price is really expensive for this flat iron but I figured it would be worth a try.... Let me tell you, I think this is the BEST investment. I have had my CHI for 12 years now and it is STILL working like I just got it.... I love it.... Love it... Love it.... I have had people buy these other flat irons and they are good for 1 or 2 years and they are off paying another 100+ dollars for one. My aunt has a CHI and it is 12 1/2 years old.... So actually I have paid $1.04 per month for this item LOL...This is the BEST IRON OUT THERE.... TRUST ME..posted Sep 16, 2013Link to this post
ForensicSacramento, CaHairBlondeDry HairChemically Treated HairLove This Product!I bought my first CHI and it burned out after three years. My second CHI is now starting to die as well (it's been 7 years). It works but it's not heating up as fast and not nearly as hot as it used to be. However, I am about to purchase my third one. It heats up fast and flat irons my hair quickly (albeit I do the Brazilian Blowout so running the CHI over my already straightened hair sets it in place, removes any frizz and adds shine). I've researched other flat irons (even more expensive ones) and just can't seem to leave CHI. I use heat protectant products and it works great!posted Sep 7, 2013Link to this post
Vanessa L.Houston, TxHairDark BrownOily HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot Worth It.I've used this flat iron for about three years until it just gave up on me. It was not damaged and I took care of it perfectly. It did its job in getting the hair straight but snag all the time. It really didn't give my hair shine. When I purchased it from here folica had sent me a made in china one. On the second try, it stopped working. I immediately contacted folica which they then said to contact the manufacturer. Chi replaced it with a made in usa one which lasted three years. Chi use to be the big time brand name in flat irons. I don't think that's the case anymore. There are better flat iron out there so I recommend to do a lot of research before settling for this one.posted Jul 1, 2013Link to this post
AleshaHairLight BrownCurly HairLove...but Horribly Made!I have currently owned 3 chi straighteners. My first last one month. The blades on the iron completely burned up, causing black smoke to come from the iron. I thought maybe it was just a bad one... SO, I ordered me another one. ANOTHER glitch. Must have been a short in the wire. The iron just came on and off, making it impossible to fix my hair. Since I absolutely LOVED how this product fixed my naturally curly hair better than any other iron I had used, I went for one more try. Well, the on/off button simply just fell off. Hmmm... That's 3 straighteners and over $300. I will NOT be purchasing another chi. I loved the way the product worked.. WHEN it would work.posted Jun 11, 2013Link to this post
JuliaFloridaHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairReliableI have owned this straightener for almost six years now & have used it almost daily. It is just now starting to die (it does not get as hot as it used to & it is taking longer to heat up). It has a simple on & off button, no heat settings. I keep flatirons on the highest temperature anyways and find no need for heat settings. This is a pretty average flatiron; it straightens my hair. Shine, smoothness, etc. comes from the products I use in my hair prior to straightening, and that is true with every flatiron I have ever used. My one complaint with the Chi is that it makes a 'squeak' noise when closing, and I have noticed that others who own Chi flatirons complain of the same issue.

ChloeHairBlackCurly HairStraight Shiny HairI've had my chi since April 2009 and has been working well for me ever since.
I love how it heats up within seconds and doesn't fry my hair. I clean it every now and then and I never wrap the cord around the iron. A few months ago it was making the squeaky sound, but I used WD40 and it has stopped.
I love this iron and couldn't have been happier.

JessicaHairLight BrownNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairChi Vs Hot ToolsI bought the CHI Ceramic Flat Iron a few months ago and it completely burnt my hair! There NEEDS to be a temperature control placed on this product so that customers can adjust it to their hair type. Even though there is a warranty that comes with it, it does not cover hair... which is priceless to most people. I had been using a ceramic flat iron made by Hot Tools for 15+ years (same iron for 15+ years!) and it never once burnt my hair. I am VERY disappointed, I expected a much better product coming from CHI. I could not with a clear conscious recommend this product, but would highly recommend Hot Tools for durability, quality and effectiveness.
