Hello students & parents! My name is Kris, and I have been tutoring and teaching for twenty years with awesome results and a 100% student return rate. I believe that learning should always be engaging and fun, and math should always make sense! Algebra, geometry, trig, and SAT are my specialties, and I guarantee I can help you bring up your grades. If your test scores don't go up, I'll teach it again for free.
So here's my story - I was a math whiz in school (800 Math SAT), studied engineering at UCSD (BSME with honors), worked on rockets for a while (Delta IV launch vehicles), then became a youth pastor because teaching teens is awesome! More recently I created an educational mobile app for daily Bible study (check out Through the Word in the app store). All along I keep tutoring, because I love to help students succeed.
Are you feeling lost in math class - trying to memorize endless rules without understanding why? I can help. I break it down so that you get it. I use object lessons and clear explanation to help you get past your stumbling blocks and get the confidence that comes from real understanding. Already rockin' the math? I'll help you drive ahead to score that scholarship! I got one and I can help you do the same.
I genuinely care for students, I communicate with parents and teachers as needed, and I don't charge extra for homework phone calls. I'm always patient, always encouraging and relatable, and occasionally funny (laughter is a great memory trigger, and studies show that teaching with humor results in higher test scores! Check out my SAT teaching notes for a tip on how to use it to your advantage).
I am new to WyzAnt, so here are a couple reviews from my previous students:
"I had difficulties understanding Algebra and had no hope of passing the class. With Kris tutoring me I was able to grasp the information and pass the class with flying colors. He is patient with his students and very knowledgeable in the subject. He has a way of making you understand the problems and get good grades in the class. He is in fact the best tutor I have ever had!" - Ashlie W., Huntington Beach
"As a former student of Kris in an educational setting as a tutee as well as a church setting as a student, I feel that I can attest to his exceptional teaching abilities. Kris tutored me when I was struggling with algebra, he was able to explain algebra in a way that was clear and easy for me to understand from then on out. Kris really breaks things down to a student's level that he or she can easily understand. Kris is a very patient person who genuinely cares for students." - Chris D., Huntington Beach
Kris has been a great tutor for both my daughter and her friend. Both were lacking the confidence they needed going into finals week. Kris got right to work and instantly made them feel comfortable, patiently going through each lesson. I saw an instant change in their demeanor. Both girls feel very confident about taking their finals.
Thanks Lisa! The girls were excellent students. Nice work!!
We retained Mr Kris L. to help our 16 yrs old son with Math, English & Science for nearly 3 weeks of intensive daily lessons. Mr L's tutoring was very clear, easy to understand, thorough and most of all, enjoyable. We highly recommend Mr L. to any student, and will certainly engage his help again for our son and his younger brother if there is any need again in the future.
Kris is very patient and is helping my son to fully understand all aspects of Algebra. He seems to be diverse in his teaching methods and adjust to the method that helps the child most. My son looks forward to his tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Kris.
On time, extremely patient and very thorough. Excellent teacher and highly recommended, has improved our daughter's grasp and understanding of math more than we though anyone would.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Algebra is my #1 specialty. I have taught Algebra in school and tutored it for twenty years. Whether you are struggling or sailing, I guarantee that your test scores will go up, or I'll teach it again for free.
Are you feeling lost in class? Algebra is tricky for students because your numbers suddenly turned into letters, and many teachers charge forward with rules that don't make sense to you. I equip students to understand what variables are, why equations work the way they do, and how those equations turn into graphs. I use object lessons like a mystery box for variables and balancing scales for equations. I break down complex concepts and give clear explanations for every step of the way. I want to help you turn your stumbling blocks into building blocks so that you truly grasp algebra and make sense of all those x's and y's.
Already rockin' the math? I'll help you drive up your test scores to the top. Rather than just memorizing formulas, I can help you understand the foundational principles of numbers, variables and equations. If you want to do something awesome with numbers someday, this is the stuff you need to know! When you get the core issues and understand how equations work and what variables mean, new challenges will come easy, and you'll be ready to turn that A- into an A+ (and no, you can't just multiply it by negative one).
Algebra 2 takes a significant step up from the first year, with more complex polynomials, equations, and graphs. Don't worry, after tutoring it for twenty years, algebra is still my specialty and I can still help you raise that grade.
Algebra 2 builds on all the foundational elements that you learned in Algebra 1, so we'll make sure you are always solid on the fundamentals. Algebra 2 can also feel like a lot of rules that you have to memorize for how solve an equation or make a graph, but do you ever really understand why those rules work? I'll help you get a real grasp on why they work and what they mean. When you do have to memorize, I'll help you with clever (and sometimes silly) memory tools so that they'll stick to your brain for test time.
Teaching the Bible to students is what I love. I am an ordained pastor with Calvary Chapel, and the creator of the Through the Word mobile app for daily Bible studies. I have taught through 33 books of the Bible, and written and recorded over 100 Bible Audio Guides.
Public speaking can be just as easy as private speaking - it just takes some practice and a little help. I have been teaching speakers and teachers how to communicate effectively with an audience for over ten years. Some of my students have even moved on to a career in teaching and speaking! I'll help you with the fine art of connecting with your audience, delivering your message effectively and clearly, and above all - sharing your heart.
I am a pastor and speaker with more than 1200 public speaking engagements over the last thirteen years. I've also recorded more than 100 audio guides for the Through the Word mobile app, and made repeat appearances as a talk radio guest. Whatever the speaking assignment that you have, I would love to help you make the most of it!
I love teaching the Math SAT! I scored an 800 on mine, and I know that I can help you bring up your score and win that scholarship that you're aiming for.
The key difference that you'll find with my teaching is a focus on comprehension before memorization. Students get lost when math is presented as a list of rules to memorize without real understanding. This really hits hard when students face the SAT, and all the problems look just a little different from what they saw in class. Same concepts but different wording, and suddenly the "rules" don't apply the way students are used to. The good news is that the problem can be solved with the right kind of preparation.
There are two skills that are tested by the Math SAT: math and test-taking. In order to teach test-taking skills, I focus first on what I call math-translation. Students learn how to read each problem and translate from "mathematic-ese" into plain English. That translation is a basic skill that doesn't get much attention in math class. It's crucial for word problems - and the SAT has lots of word problems. Without math-translation, the SAT may as well be written in Greek.
Once the student translates and understands what the problem is about, I focus on the approach. I teach students a step-by-step method to look at each problem, identify the facts, identify the question, and choose the method to solve it. This method equips students with an approach for every problem, so they never have to feel overwhelmed or stuck. It may seem obvious, but it is a big confidence booster. Other test-taking skills include intelligent guessing and thinking-like-the-test-writers. We'll go over all of these. You may be amazed to see how much test scores go up before we even focus on the actual math!
Next up is math skills. These are the essentials of course, and practice makes perfect. Raising SAT scores is as much about practice as it is learning new skills. Students can practice on their own time so that we can make the most of tutoring time (saves money too). With the combination of personal practice and clear teaching, students begin to recognize each SAT problem. After all, they use the same mix of problems for every SAT, they just change up the numbers and wording for each one. With practice and help, a well-prepared student can confidently say for each problem, "I've seen this one before."
As we approach each problem, I'll focus on core skills and understanding. SAT Math questions can feel like a jumble of rules, numbers and concepts from the last several years of classes. I help students get back to a clear understanding of the essentials. We work together to identify their stumbling blocks and clear them out one at a time.
Bonus Tip: Here's a little test-taking tip I love to share. Long tests are boring, and bored minds get lower scores. Liven up your test-time by reading with a ridiculous British accent. Seriously – it works! Not only will it make the test more fun, you're reading comprehension will go way up as well – because laughter is a memory trigger. (Now if you're already British, you might want to try something different - say French or Indian. That should work. And if you get in trouble for laughing out loud, you might want to tone down the accent a bit).
Trigonometry represents a new way for students to think about mathematical concepts. Trig functions (sin, cos, tan) are about much more than just triangles, they provide a foundation for all that's ahead in math and are surprisingly useful throughout the sciences (you'll be amazed how often they come up in physics and engineering!). With that in mind, it's essential for every future scientist and engineer to have a thorough grasp of trig functions – what they mean and how they work.
My goal is to equip students with a clear and complete understanding of trig functions, so that they feel confident when they face them in future studies. Memorizing the rules of trig functions and equations won't give students the real understanding necessary to work with them later on. But when sine and cosine click and students really get it, all the rules fall into place, and test scores go way up. Better yet, they'll hold on to the understanding much longer. The key is comprehension before memorization.
As with all my classes, I guarantee improved test scores, and I'll repeat any topic for free is scores don't go up. The first meeting is always half price to give you an opportunity to verify that the lessons are worth the cost. Please contact me by email with any questions.

text: Back on October 10th I totalled out my family vehicle/van. My children and I had bruises but otherwise okay. But the guilt and stress of the whole situation had my diet get put on the back burner. I don't regret it because it honestly kept my stress level down in an already very stressful/emotional time. It would have been worse if I was fretting over what to eat and not to eat. I didn't overdo anything but i seriously had 75% carbs each day (but stayed within reason when it came to calories) Just a lot of sugar.. I didn't do badly cause I didn't gain weight during the 2 weeks. But I certainly undid my bodys adjustments to lack of sugar. I am back track now emotionally and physically so its time to get serious about my diet again. But the question is, do I start back over on Phase 1 or do i start back on Phase 2? My son is in the process of weaning so while I know that SBD says nursing starts on Phase 2, i don't think I need to take it into consideration because I already slightly modify my Phase 1 to give me a couple extra carbs for the aspect of nursing. I was only on phase 2 a few short weeks before the accident.... So I am really thinking that perhaps I should go back to Phase 1?? I only have a few more pounds to go. (roughly 20 at most)

Irreversible ^ * ^ Directed by Gaspar Noe ^ Starring Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, Albert Dupontel ^ 2002
Ah, the ever-popular 'film festival controversial celluloid enfant terrible'. This year's audience-divider was this pleasant French effort from the director of "Seul Contre Tous". You may remember that one from a coupla years back; featured a guy punching his pregnant wife in the stomach until she miscarried. And you know what? Director Noe hasn't loosened or lightened up in the slightest.
Okay. Lemme run the 'plot' for this one by you. It contains 'spoilers' (as those assholes at aintituncoolfilmgeek.com put it) so if you want to see this sicko flickershow stop reading now. Anybody else…continue at yer peril.
Okay: plot. Young, achingly-in-love couple frolic naked in their apartment. Young woman is newly pregnant. Guy jokes about wanting to fuck her up her cute ass. It's poignant; bring a tear to a glass eye. They go out to a party and fall out, and she storms out in annoyance. On the way home she gets anally raped by a gay pimp. Her boyfriend and ex-boyfriend seek the guy out…and decimate his head with a fire extinguisher in a gay nightclub. The end.
Or should I say the beginning. Y'see, this film has a gimmick: it's run backwards, so the end comes at the start, and vice versa. Now. This is an incredibly interesting technique, because it gives lines at the end (start) of the film a lot more resonance when you know the events that have preceded (followed) them.
This film is nothing more than a fucking "Death Wish" movie run backwards, this 'ytra' technique giving it a pseudo-intellectual veneer of (dis)respectability. It is the work of a…ummm…better not say what I think of him or we'll get sued, but he obviously takes great delight in spraying film viewers with his pathological misogynistic misanthropic powertrip forced-fuck-fantasies.
I think you can see which side of the fence I sit on on this one.
Noe had a short film of his shown at this year's EIFF, after which he gave a talk. The short in question, "Carne", was made in 1991. Featuring incest, pregnant woman sodomy and a real horse slaughtered on-camera, Noe sat and said he couldn't understand why anybody would have a problem with this damaged shit. Yeah, right. Gimme a fucking break. I do not trust this man or his insane, damaged filmic agenda one fucking bit and will never see a film of his again. He utterly disgusts me.
Finger-painting in celluloid sick slick shit has that effect on me. I'm too old for this shit. It's funny, though. Some 'serious' cineastes really took to this one, saying that it had the same structure as "2001", and blah blah blah. This fucking swill doesn't even deserve this level of debate. It's worthless guitar picks of the future, with a poster that exploits the nine-minute(!) anal rape scene. I barely suppressed an urge to spit on the fucking thing.
Fuck these people.
Of course, having said this, no doubt you will want to see it. Your call.
Morvern Callar ^ ** ^ Directed by Lynne Ramsay ^ Starring Kathleen McDermott, Samantha Morton ^ 2002
Now, I hafta admit, I had big hopes for this one. A film based on a cult Scottish work of literature by Alan Warner (only Scottish writer I rate) directed by the Scottish woman who made the amazing "Ratcatcher?" Sounded too good to be true.
Of course, it was.
Now, the book in question is an interesting piece of work. It's about a 21-year-old young woman from the small Scottish port town of Oban. She comes home one day from her job in a local supermarket to find her writer-boyfriend has killed himself. He has left the manuscript for a novel for
Morvern to send to publishers and get published posthumously for him.
So she cuts his body up, buries it, then gets it published under her own name and fucks off to Spain to rave and revel in drink and drugs and dance and post-traumatic stress disorder dementia. While she is there she learns that the book is to be published, affording her the means to escape her oppressive small-town environment.
Anyway. Like I said, Alan Warner is a literary stylist, writing reams of dense elliptical mercurial beautiful bleak black blood prose poetry. It's just a pity Lynne Ramsay isn't up to the task of translating this work to the screen. And in my opinion, she makes one fundamental error I cannot get past: she casts an English actress, Samantha Morton as Morvern, in a quintessentially Scottish role. Newcomer Kathleen McDermott, in her first role as Morvern's friend Lanna, however, is the true Scottish heart of this film, and acts Morton off the screen. She truly is incredible, and gives a natural, seamless performance of a lifetime. A complete sweetheart in person too.
Well, ya know, I could go on. About how this film polarized audiences, with women seeming to love it and understand it better than men. About how it will die at the box office. About…ah, who cares. See it if you want. You know you will anyway. Final word goes to my old friend Andrew Gardner from Falkirk, a normal (ie not film type) guy who saw it and said this of much of the film: "East German ladies shot-putting would be more interesting."
So that's that.
Let's see what's happening outside the theater in part five of THE 56TH EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL: PLANET WANNA-BE HOLLYWOOD>>>

Gartner: Open Source Becoming Pervasive Yet Lacking Governance
Market research firm Gartner discovered that most of the almost 300 organizations it surveyed employed Open Source software in one way or another, but that a general license enforcement policy was missing.
The biggest challenge for the open source organizations surveyed proved to be software governance and license policies, according to the Connecticut market research firm's study over May and June of 2008. The second place challenge was that Open Source software (OSS) companies have trouble with contradictory terms of use. Those surveyed also pointed to the countless licensing required.
Gartner's results show that around four-fifths of the 274 end-user organizations use OSS in their projects. Only about a third of them have a "formal policy for evaluating and cataloguing OSS usage in their enterprise, opening up huge potential liabilities for intellectual-property violations." "Just because something is free doesn't mean that it has no cost," says Gartner's research director Laurie Wurster in their press release. In her view each organization should have a policy about OSS so that it can control which of its applications and projects should use it and assess the consequences thereof.
Gartner found that total cost of ownership (TCO) was the main reason why organizations choose OSS and replace commercial solutions with it. Close behind was the ability to engage more easily in new IT projects and software initiatives. According to the study, OSS also frees organizations from dependence on single vendors. Finally, OSS allows them to "avoid complex procurement rules and procedures" so as to respond to user needs more quickly.
The survey spanned eight countries in North America, Europe and Asia, targeting end-users but excluding software vendors and external software providers. Respondents came from the manufacturing, education, financial and service sectors, from small, medium and large organizations.

Sharp Corp. will expand production capacity by more than 10 percent as next year's soccer World Cup and the Winter Olympics spur demand, executives involved in the plan said. The company plans to increase monthly capacity of glass sheets, which can be cut into eight 37-inch screens, to at least 56,000 as early as March, from 51,000 now, the executives said, declining to be identified before figures are finalized. Sharp forecast in August that it would process 54,000 sheets. Sharp in October raised its estimate for the global market for the year ending March to 20 million LCD TVs from 15 million and President Katsuhiko Machida said the company faces "lost opportunities" because it can't produce panels fast enough. TV and screen producers such as Sharp and Samsung Electronics Co. are counting on next year's sporting events to increase sales. "They need to have a certain level of production to stay competitive,'' said Naoki Fujiwara, who oversees about U.S. $180 million of Japanese equities as a fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. "Demand is strong and a 10 percent increase won't cause oversupply." Asahi Glass Co., which is Sharp's second-biggest supplier of glass used in LCDs after Corning Inc., rose as much as 5 percent. LCD TVs currently make up about 6 percent of the flat-screen TV market, while plasma TV sets have a 71 percent share, according to industry researcher DisplaySearch. By 2009, half of the market will comprise of LCD TVs measuring 40 inches to 44 inches diagonally, the research firm said. The company, which makes the Aquos brand of flat-screen TVs, will add a production line at its Kameyama factory in Mie prefecture, central Japan by the beginning of the fiscal year, the officials said, without saying how much it would spend. The factory was the world's first to build both panels and TV sets in the same facility. Fujiwara said Sharp's new production line may cost "several billion yen." Sharp had an 18 percent market share of the world's LCD TV market for the quarter ended September, according to DisplaySearch. Global shipments rose 156 percent in the 3 months from a year earlier to a record 5.5 million units, according to the research firm. Prices of flat-screen TVs are falling at an annual rate of at least 20 percent, according to DisplaySearch. The company in October had increased capacity at its Kameyama plant by 10 percent, without additional investments, by making changes to its production line. The new line will adopt more changes to improve production yield and reduce costs. "It's a smart move that they are using existing technology to increase output, which is less expensive," said Seiichiro Iwamoto, who manages about $9.7 billion in stocks at Fuji Investment Management in Tokyo. Iwamoto said Sharp will eventually raise capacity to more than 60,000 sheets. (Bloomberg)

The Chanel Spring Summer Pre-Collection brings back small statement purses perfect for your warm-weathered wardrobe.
Just because this Chanel Spring Summer Pre-Collection features bags that are way tinier than last season's torso-sized pieces, it doesn't mean that it isn't a practical line.
Chanel's Pre-Collection line offers tiny purses in many different patterns, textures and hues, ranging from neutral to loud. Though small bags have always been around, these pieces are guaranteed to add a unique touch to any outfit. Splurging on a great Chanel bag from the Chanel Spring Summer Pre-Collection line is definitely worth it. If you are worried that the bright or snakeskin look will die out, get a small bag in a neutral color instead!

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- A Catholic priest in Blue Earth accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, has plead guilty.
Rev. Leo Charles Koppala went to the girl's grandmother's house Friday, June 7 - a day before the girl's 12th birthday, according to a criminal complaint against Koppala.
He's a missionary from India who worked at Resurrection Parish in Rochester before joining the Blue Earth church in 2009.
When the grandmother left Koppala to answer a phone call, Koppala reportedly went downstairs where the girl was watching TV. He kissed the girl on the cheeks and the lips, the complaint said. He also touched the girl's chest and lower back.
Koppala told the girl that he wanted to go to her house when she was done with school so they could be free together, the charge said. Koppala also said he loved her.
The grandmother told police that she had invited Koppala for dinner. At some point in the night when she went to answer a phone call, Koppala went downstairs with the girl, the complaint said.
The girl appeared upset and her demeanor had changed, the grandmother told police. After Koppala left, the girl told her grandmother what had happened, the charge said.
Koppala told police that he kissed the girl on the cheeks and mouth, the complaint said. He also told officers that he touched her chest, but he said he didn't believe he touched her breasts.
Koppala said he told the girl they could be free together, but explained that he meant something different, the complaint said.
Koppala has been charged in Faribault County District Court with second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Click here to read the criminal complaint.
Blue Earth is south of Mankato.
Koppala heads the fundraising program Orphan and Poor Children Education, which reportedly helps children in the Nellore and Prakasam District of India. Donors can sponsor a child for $40 a month, according to the website.
The Diocese of Winona place Fr. Koppala on administrative leave last June. It says following his criminal proceedings, he will be deported back to the Diocese of Nellore in India.
ABC 6 News has learned that upon being placed on administrative leave, the Diocese of Winona file a report with the Vatican and copied Fr. Koppala's Bishop and home diocese. The process to remove Koppala from the ministry, known as laicization, is now up to the Vatican.

Di Canio: 'I Was Too Good For Sunderland!'
Paolo Di Canio claims he was TOO GOOD for Sunderland, but doesn't expect any Premier League manager bursting down the door to sign him.
Paolo Di Canio was dismissed after a 3-0 defeat at West Brom, a result which was reportedly followed a day later by a training ground bust-up with senior players which led them to ask the board to take action.
Di Canio insisted, however, that no argument took place.
Paolo Di Canio: "It never happened.
"There was a typical meeting, as there was after every game to see the clips and analyse the game.
"Maybe there was opinion but this happens in every good family.
"I was too good, my level was too high.
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. I can't wait to have another chance with the right people. I feel a better manager than before.
"Even if I have requests from around Europe I say no.
"There is no space for me in England at the moment but I will wait.
"It would be stupid for a chairman not to call me. Even if it's at a Championship club with a project."

Die State. An obverse crack curves up into the field from the border at 9 o'clock. Another joins the bases of BERT, a third extends from the bottom right corner of the E to the cap, and a fourth extends from the bottom of the L well into the cap. The lower hair strands are mostly complete with only slight evidence of die lapping. The reverse has an intermittent die line from the right (facing) wing through the tops of AMERIC.
Condition Census. Possibly as many as 10 Mint State examples are known, including the present specimen.
Appearances. We are unaware of previous appearances in literature or auction catalogs.
Obverse Die. The 6 is upright with the 1, 7, and 9 each leaning right. The 1 is slightly closer to the curl than to the border and it is shorter than the other digits. The 7 and 9 are more closely spaced than other digits. LIBERTY is widely spaced with LI and BE wider then IB. The lower left side of I is slightly recut. ER are on a higher base line than other letters.
State a. Perfect, does not exist in this marriage. State b. Lightly cracked through the bases of LIBER. State c. Cracked from the border about 9 o'clock, turning upward toward the cap. State d. Lapped with the lowest curls incomplete. The crack of state c continues through the cap to T and Y. The die line from E to R is no longer visible.
Reverse Die. Star 15 is below horizontal to the right of star 8. The legend is well spaced with all letters of UNITED close to the border, and all letters of STATES OF close to the clouds. The left upright of E is over the space between two clouds. AM are widely spaced and the final A is close to the claw and stem but touches neither. The branch has four berries with only one inside. The inner leaf of the lowest outside pair entirely overlaps the stem. The lowest of eight arrows is below the center of the left base of N. The longest arrow is below the outside right edge of the same letter. Stars are evenly spaced in rows of seven, seven, one, and one. Only star 3 touches the left curve of cloud 4.
State a. Perfect.
Heritage Commentary. Rated High R.6 by Walter Breen in his New Varieties monograph in the late 1960s. Breen recorded the mintage of 1796 quarter eagles as 963 examples without stars, including coins from Warrants 75 and 77, and 432 with stars from the delivery of January 14, 1797, Warrant 80. Since Warrant 79 was dated December 22, 1796, all gold coins minted after that date would have been included in the January 14, 1797 delivery. Breen's estimates seem reasonable; however, supporting documentation has not been located, and probably does not exist.
Several high grade examples are known including Mint State coins with prooflike surfaces, called presentation pieces by Breen. He further explained that the existence of these high grade coins was the result of many being saved as novelties from the first year of the denomination. At the time, however, setting aside a coin valued at $2.50 was certainly an expensive novelty. Due to striking characteristics, this variety is often overgraded.
Consignor Commentary. I was very pleased when Stu Levine offered me this coin in 2001. I hesitated for a while only because this was the highest priced quarter eagle I had purchased. Then (and now) I believed that it is in or close to the Condition Census. My view is that PCGS was a bit conservative in grading the coin. It is one of several very high quality quarter eagles that I obtained from or through Stu.
Provenance. Purchased from Stuart Levine (8/2001).

Tonight is International Observe the Moon Night so grab your iPhone
Tonight is the first-ever International Observe the Moon Night. If you have an iOS device, you can get even more out of observing our nearest neighbor and learning about what its made of, how it came to be, and how to observe it.
Free apps like Moon Globe will allow you to explore the lunar service in detail tonight, or any night. If you're a social, rather than a solitary backyard astronomer, then here's a map to help you find local public observing groups all over the world. Expect to find some telescopes to get you a live close-up view.
Since you'll already be outside, don't forget some of the great astronomy apps that help orient you to the visible planets and constellations. I like Star Walk, Pocket Universe and Distant Suns. Happily, the author of Distant Suns has put version 2 of the app on sale for US$0.99 today only in honor of the lunar event. If you have an iPhone, or iPod touch, it's a good night to look up.

Mangalam police on Tuesday registered a case against the owner of a South Korean garment buying house and its liaison manager in India for defaulting payment of goods purchased from a Tirupur-based company to the tune of Rs. 17 lakh and subsequently cheating them.
Police said a complaint was lodged by M. Balasubramanian, Manager of the garment production unit situated at Parapalayam on Tirupur-Mangalam road, that the Korean company was yet to settle the cost of 3,000 pieces of apparel procured from them in January this year.
According to the complainant, a total of 8,736 readymade garments were shipped from Tirupur to the Korean company as per the order received through the liaison manager of the foreign company based in Coimbatore.
However, the Korean company paid only for 5,736 pieces and refused to pay for the remaining pieces stating that they had rejected them.

I've just noticed some buds on my vines. I believe its passiflora incarnata. im very excited....and impatient, how long until I get flowers? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The buds will develop to the size of very large olives and burst open - this will be from 3 days to a week. Sometimes, I can catch them opening to their full bloom - awesome. |
Congratulations--looks great. So you know, that is not P. incarnata, but appears to be the hybrid P. x belotii. It also goes by several other names, including P. alatocaerulea, as it is the primary hybrid P. alata x P. caerulea. It is less hardy than P. incarnata, although I suspect the number given in the link below is too conservative. It should be fragrant... |

"Soak up the Sun"- Sheryl Crow
Hi everyone! I want to say thank you so much to everyone for the warm welcome back and the well wishes about John. It never ceases to amaze me how blessed I am to have so many wonderful friends that I have connected with through our love of Disney! It really is a magical thing!
As you can see in my ticker, my next trip is a very short THREE DAYS away, so I am going to try my best to squeeze in a couple updates before I go. Also, I promise I am working on catching up on everyone elses TRs! I enjoy reading them so much, so I want to make sure I devote an adequate amount of time to each one so I can fully enjoy it! Okay, so lets get back to our trip, and a brand new day! "Soak up the Sun"- Sheryl Crow July 10, 2012 Im gonna soak up the sun Gonna tell everyone To lighten up I woke up the next morning at about 7:30. My original intention had been to wake John up then too, but I looked at the bed and saw this: so I decided to let him sleep in a little bit! Disneying is hard work! While John caught up on his beauty sleep I headed down to the Beach Club Marketplace to grab some breakfast. While I was there I went ahead and bought a couple of reusable resort mugs, so my mom and I would be able to use them when she came down. I considered buying some fresh raspberries, but a pint was NINE DOLLARS. I wish I was joking. I love Disney, and Im sure their raspberries are magically delicious, but I wasnt about to find out. I grabbed our breakfast (sans raspberries) and headed back to the room. I woke John up at about 8:30, and we sat on our wonderful full balcony to enjoy our breakfast! You know what that means its time for a dining review! Service: Well, I think I would pretty much count myself as the service for this meal, since I bought it and delivered it to John soooo it was AWESOME! Atmosphere: The atmosphere was wonderful, because we ate breakfast together on our quiet, sunny balcony on a beautiful Disney morning! Really, it couldnt have been better! Food Quality: For breakfast that morning I picked up an egg and cheese croissant for John: And a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese for myself: My bagel was very satisfying, but just a bagel. John said that his sandwich was pretty good, but it was just generic quick service Disney fare. Not our best meal, but filling and satisfying enough for us to start our morning! Overall Dining Experience: Overall it was a wonderful experience! It felt good to let John sleep in and pamper him a little bit by delivering breakfast to him, and enjoying a quiet breakfast on our balcony was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of our typical Disney mornings! Therefore, I give this meal the following rating: Category 1- Remy It was a simple meal, but it was the simplicity of it that made it so special. Its moments like these with my wonderful husband at Disney that I really truly cherish! After breakfast I went back inside to get ready for the relaxing morning that we had planned at the amazing Stormalong Bay, while John sat on the balcony and enjoyed a little more sunshine and a little Song Pop on his iPhone! While John enjoyed his morning a little more, I got out my new beach bag that my in laws gave me for my 25th birthday! I love the inside! Its so bright and colorful! Isnt it a cute bag? They also got me a shirt that matches it, which you will see me wear later in the trip! After getting into my bathing suit and getting my beach bag packed, we were finally ready to head down to the pool at about 9:00! Oooh .its so *exclusive* (P.S- Forgive the foginess of my camera. I had just come from the AC inside to the humid air outside, so this is the result.) Unfortunately we werent going to be enjoying the exclusivity () of the lovely Stormalong Bay right away, because apparently it doesnt open until 10. Womp womp. Classic frump move! We brushed it off pretty quickly, however, and decided to go sit on the lovely sandy beach while we waited for the pool to open! That looks inviting, right? The beach was totally empty, so we had our choice of chairs. I grabbed one and seized the opportunity to take a picture of my sandy toes. Sandy toes are like palm trees- anytime theyre spotted, you know a good time is being had by all. We enjoyed our time on the beach while we waited for the pool to open. I spent most of the time reading The Help, which I was completely sucked into. However, it got hot REALLY quickly, and by the time 10 oclock rolled around I was more than ready to go for a swim! On our way over to Stormalong Bay I found someone elses KTTW card in the sand, and I noticed that it had charging privileges on it, so I quickly turned it over to the CM working at the Stormalong Bay entrance. He thanked me profusely, gave us our exclusive wristbands, and let us into the gorgeous (and exclusive ) Stormalong Bay! Hello, beautiful! Its SO PRETTY! I cant imagine a more perfect morning in a more perfect place! We grabbed a spot by the lazy river, and immediately hopped in for a quick swim. I was instantly in love with the sand bottom! It feels so cool! We didnt have any kind of flotation devices, so we bobbed around the lazy river a few times. I, unfortunately, am a very weak swimmer, so after a few rounds I started feeling like I just might be drowning a little bit, so I decided to go get some sun. Heres the view from my pool chair: John is way more into swimming than I am, so he stayed in the pool. Dont get me wrong, I love to swim, but Im a southern girl to my core, so what I really love is tanning! I could lay in the sun all day, even though my poor skin would probably turn into a fried up piece of bacon. Anyway, while I was relaxing in the sun enjoying my book, John explored Stormalong Bay. He found one spot with a little waterfall that he really liked. He stayed in the position for about half an hour, so Im pretty sure he fell asleep: HAHA I dont know why, but that picture cracks me up! He was having such a good time! I got in to swim with him a few more times, and at about 11:30 he was ready to go inside. I wanted to get a little more sun, so he went in to take a shower while I laid out until 12. At noon I decided to head up too, so I said goodbye for now to the beautiful Stormalong Bay! If you have never stayed at the Beach or Yacht Club, Im telling you, the pool alone makes it totally worth it. It is seriously the most amazing pool Ive ever swam in in my entire life! When I headed back up to the room at noon I had to take a picture of my gross pool self: Ughhh pool hair. But then it got really bad I took my ponytail down, and I was left with THIS: John thought that was pretty hilarious. Yuck it up, buddy. He should try having pool dread locks and see how he likes it! As you can tell from my disgusting hair, I was more than ready for a shower! Up Next: We head to Epcot for a lunch date at Le Cellier, but first- I get the royal treatment! Stay tuned!

That beach bag is so adorable!! I'm not a beach person because I'm so fair skinned that I just burn, but I would absolutely go if I had a bag that looked like that, haha.
I hope I get to hang out at that pool someday!

Breakfast on the balcony sounds divine! It seems like such a peaceful way to start the day. We always ate our breakfast in the room, but a dark, boring room at Pop doesn't seem as nice as the brightness of a balcony with a view!

HAHA the John photos are hilarious- can't figure out which is funnier: the mountain under the covers or the bodiless head under the waterfall! And what an abs adorable beach bag! I adore Stormalong Bay- isn't there a slide attached to a pirate ship there or something...? My dream is to whoosh down the volcano slide at the Poly- the pool at Shades of Green, where I usually stay, is unfortunately slideless.

Joni!!! So glad you're back and updating! Hope you had an amazing couple of months with John! And you're going to Disney this weekend! I can't believe I missed you by a week, I just got home Monday! I feel like we're always in Disney within a couple weeks of each other!
I have SO many TR's to get caught up on, but I decided to read yours first! I love your drawing! I've never seen UP! Is it really good? I think my mom has the DVD, maybe I should give it a try...I mean, it is a Disney movie, and I think that dog is ridiculously cute! OMG your Stormalong Bay update made me miss the Beach Club SOOOOO much! I'm not going back to Disney until the end of the year, and we're booked at the Yacht Club, so at least I'll get to see Stormalong Bay again, but not for SOOOOO long! Seriously, I don't know how I'm going to make it! But yes, Stormalong Bay is the BEST pool ever! Brandon likes swimming more than I do too, but I'm not a big lay out in the sun kind of person either, however, when we were there in May I actually kind of enjoyed it! It's just so beautiful over there, how can you not! Hopefully I'll get around to updating my TR soon! I'm having a hard time going on the DIS after this trip, knowing my trip is SO far away!

YOUR TRIP IS SO SOON! Feel free to Disney text me again! WOOOO!
John and I have something in common: sleeping with our butts in the air. (I think that's what he's doing at least. I didn't want to stare too long. I felt weird. HAHA.) That bag is the cutest thing ever! Good choice, in laws. YOU ARE CORRECT. Toes in the sand = amazing. Toes in the sand at Disney World = living the dream. SAB looks amazing. One day, I tell ya... one day. AND BTW, your 'gross pool self' picture is the cutest thing! 'Gross pool self' my behind.

I love everything about this update. I mean, your morning just makes me happy. I know that probably seems like a weird thing to say but I LOVE those types of mornings where you just take it easy, enjoy some quiet time, and ya know.. SWIM AT STORMALONG BAY!
I love that pool so much, and I think it's one of those places where if you get to stay there and experience that pool, it's hard to want to stay anywhere else! Ugh it's just wonderful. But I loved your face because it's pretty perfect for when entering SAB! SO EXCLUSIVE, you must show proof! I'm glad they do that though, because otherwise so many people would sneak into that pool! John is hiding under the same waterfall that Matt loves in that photo! Hahaha, also your photos of him swimming made me laugh, too. Hahaha. Hahahaha your photo with your hair all pool-y made me laugh out loud, enough for Matt to ask me what I was laughing at. I think you should have just left it that way. It's perfect.

Stormalong Bay looks like SO MUCH FUN!!! And the beach is so pretty, it must have made the wait for the "exclusive" pool to open much more bearable. John looks like he's having a great time under that waterfall! It totally looks like he's sleeping!
You look adorable even after swimming all morning! I'm so glad you guys had a relaxing time at Stormalong Bay. We always make time for a pool morning and/or afternoon and it's always so nice! I bet that the pool alone must have made the BC the best place to stay! Looking forward to your next update! Are you so excited for your sister trip?!

I LOVE that beach bag!
OMG that picture of John in the water cracks me up too... you know he is just loving life in that moment. I LOVE YOU FOR TAKING A PICTURE OF YOUR POOL HAIR. This is a fact of life that is very rarely documented for all to see. I salute you. I WANT MORE UPDATES!! But you'll probably be a bit busy, you know, with going to Disney World and all.

"I'm Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana."
The parties often got as out of control as Sterling Cooper's, though no one recalls anybody losing a foot to a riding mower. There was plenty of joint smoking à la Stan and acid tripping à la Roger, Lynch said, but that fad wore off — at least during office hours — because "they'd smoke, do some work they thought was great, look at it the next day and realize it wasn't."
"One art director plastered pictures of his face all over town, and underneath it read, 'If you know me you're invited to a party at my house Friday night,' " Webber said.
Fahden recalled a mystery party where "we all got on a school bus and first went to 501 Groveland where [restaurateur] Gordon Schutte comes out in a tux and has us taste Boone's Farm and Mad Dog, cleansing our palates with Velveeta and saltines. Back on the bus a fat young comedian came on and started abusing everyone. His name was Louie Anderson."
Peggy Olson: "Why is it that whenever a man takes you to lunch around here, you're the dessert?"
Everyone seems to have worked with a roving eye like Roger Sterling, but no one wants to admit being him. "It's not that they weren't cads, they were just likable cads," said copywriter Joan Ostrin.
Ostrin recalls being actually chased around a conference table by a senior account exec while cleaning up after a client presentation at a Bloomington hotel. She successfully resisted, but "I didn't have a car, so he had to give me a ride back downtown," she said. "That was a long, silent 12 miles."
While clothing styles typically arrived in Minneapolis later than New York, the fashion challenges were the same. Sue Crolick, the first female art director at Campbell Mithun, said that miniskirts weren't as carefree as they seemed.
"if you were presenting up at the board, you had to remember not to reach too high to write something because that skirt would go right up, too," she said.
Men also had fashion issues, like polyester leisure suits. "If you walked too fast you'd catch fire," said Fahden. "My uniform was cowboy boots, bell bottoms, a turtleneck and a long suede jacket," he said. "I had a walrus mustache I could have used as a comb-over."
Don Draper: "Let me ask you something: What do women want?"
Roger Sterling: "Who cares?"
Crolick, Ostrin and art directors Nancy Rice and Jan Leadholm were the Peggy Olsons of the Minneapolis scene, front-runners in a field that, like so many others, wasn't used to women telling men what to do.

The required internship/externship for the program is normally completed at The Bakery or Winston's Restaurant, both of which are laboratory real-world facilities located on the Louisville campus. Externships at selected restaurants are also available.
You will have the opportunity to learn from four world-class certified master chefs this year.
They join 34 other certified chef instructors at Sullivan University's National Center of Hospitality Studies as teaching faculty at one of the country's highest ranking culinary and hospitality training colleges.
No other school offers an education with four master chefs.
If you act now, you can learn from these master chefs as part of your Sullivan University Culinary Arts or Baking & Pastry Arts program.
The best just got better!
The American Culinary Federation's Education Federation Accrediting Commission accredits this program.
Degrees Offered:
Associate of Science (A.S.) Degree
Get to know the program.
Chef Derek Spendlove, CEPC, CCE, AAC, HGOT, is the director of the Baking & Pastry Arts program.
What type of person would this program appeal to?
The ideal Baking and Pastry Arts student is one who is eagerly willing to learn. Will and want are two very important factors for success in this degree program. If you are coming into the Baking and Pastry Arts Associate Degree program, you must be here because you want to be here. Baking and Pastry Arts must be in your heart and soul and not just in your mind. To be successful, you must truly care and consciously enjoy getting involved with food.
Successful graduates are well-organized, educated, dedicated professionals who have an intense passion for Baking and Pastry Arts and an acute attention to detail. If you are willing to give 110%, you will be very successful in this program. Working in the Baking and Pastry Arts industry requires a great deal of skill and creativity. You will learn to bake scrumptious pastries, breads and sweets, and then decorate them to perfection.
The Baking & Pastry Arts program appeals to a wide range of individuals, including:
- Mature students who are looking to change careers, oftentimes giving up something that they have "had to do" for something that they have "always wanted to do."
- Individuals who have been in the hospitality industry for some time and have realized that in order to take the next step toward management or entrepreneurship, they are in need of a formal education.
- Individuals who have realized that they are pleasers and enjoy the rewards that come along with entertaining, serving and making other people feel special.
- Creative, high-energy individuals who enjoy working with their hands and the camaraderie of reaching goals in a team setting.
- Entrepreneurs looking to begin their own wedding cake or bakery operation.
- Baking & Pastry Arts is a hot topic represented in the news, on television and in many periodicals, oftentimes catching the attention of individuals who are simply interested in becoming part of what they view as entertainment.
- Individuals who have grown up with dietary restrictions or other family members with dietary restrictions.
What specific skills or knowledge are taught in the program?
The Baking & Pastry Arts Program at Sullivan University is a fully accredited program with a strong concentration on fundamental baking and pastry techniques, food safety and sanitation, nutrition and the overall management of food service operations, culminating in an associate's degree in Baking & Pastry Arts.

For more details about what you will learn in the program, please refer to the course descriptions.
What are potential jobs or employment settings for graduates?
"I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun." Thomas A. Edison, American inventor
Stamina, patience, a strong work ethic and persistence are qualities necessary for success in the baking and pastry industry. Creativity is necessary for those wishing to ascend to leadership in the kitchen and industry. Making the customer's vision a reality is a big part of what will be expected professionally. A career in baking and pastry arts is often physically demanding, requiring attention to detail and long hours in sometimes inhospitable conditions. Pastry chefs and bakers typically work 50-60 hours a week. They are responsible for all areas of production in the modern bakeshop and much more. Pastry chefs and bakers must keep up with current trends and production methods and readily adapt to them.
"Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius, Chinese philosopher
Pastry chefs and bakers can expect to work in a variety of locations, including: restaurants, hotels, casinos and bakeries. Facilities can be the largest and most elaborate or the smallest and most simple. Industrial baking is another possible avenue where product is mass-produced under strict guidelines. Sales and technical representatives for foodservice suppliers are potential job opportunities. With the knowledge gained, a successful graduate can take their skills anywhere in the world, producing regional specialties, dazzling centerpieces and memory-making special occasion cakes. This is a career field with endless opportunities and possibilities for the baking and pastry arts professional.
What is the most important or unique aspect about this program?
The Baking & Pastry Arts program boasts a faculty who possess ACF Certification, educational and experiential qualifications for the classes they teach and who emphasize the process of learning as well as the assimilation of knowledge and skills.
You will work with modern baking equipment similar to the equipment that is used currently in the industry.
The Sullivan University Baking and Pastry Arts program boasts "zero areas of non-compliance" and Exemplary Program on their most recent accreditation visit from the governing body of The American Culinary Federation.
What are good resources for finding out more on this career field?
