text: Finally finished it after about two and a half weeks of working on it. I'm really glad I decided to go this big too (14.25inx 48in). I've decided that I want to make some paper mache masks out of a few of these. So we'll see how that goes. Cheers!

Motivation to excel will plunge
WILL the Education Ministry's blackout on the top performers in national examinations really achieve the Government's aim of de-emphasising academic results ("MOE stops naming top students"; yesterday)?
It would be interesting and inspirational if we name the top scorers, especially those who have overcome big challenges.
We are swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other in reacting to perceptions about the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
Every year, thousands of Singaporeans look forward to the PSLE results for sheer excitement and motivation.
Every year, thousands of hard-working and determined youngsters aim to do well in the exam.
But now we will not know who are the top scorers. The motivation to excel will plunge.
We should target the parents, and not the children, who must be encouraged to perform as best as they can and be rewarded for it.
We should not be giving in to some parents who articulate their concerns over the exam unnecessarily.
We must accept that some pupils are more academically inclined or hard-working than others.
It is wrong to feel stressed over naming the top achievers if our children are not among them.
We should applaud the top scorers and accept the fact that most other children will still go on learning and developing even if they do not shine in the PSLE.

Illuminating work honored
Win leaves UCSD prof 'completely surprised'
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Japanese-born Shimomura, now 80 and a professor emeritus at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., began studying a jellyfish (Aequorea victoria) found off the coast of western North America.
He was interested in what allowed the jellyfish to glow, and he eventually isolated the answer: a green fluorescent protein dubbed GFP. But nobody could do much with the knowledge until 1992, when Douglas Prasher at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution cloned the jellyfish gene encoding GFP. Prasher's work made it conceivable to use GFP as a laboratory tool, a new way to peer inside living cells without harming them.
"You don't have to add anything to (a GFP-modified) cell except light," said Chalfie who, like Tsien, got a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the wee hours yesterday. (Unlike Tsien, Chalfie didn't pick up the phone, sleeping through the rings and only learning about his Nobel when he checked the news in the morning.)
Both Chalfie and Tsien, who arrived at UCSD in 1989 after research stints at UC Berkeley and the University of Cambridge in England, asked Prasher for copies of the clone.
Chalfie, 61, now a molecular biologist at Columbia University in New York, was first to make something with it. In the mid-1990s, he inserted GFP into two test subjects: Escherichia coli bacteria and a roundworm called Caenorhabditis elegans. By doing so, Chalfie proved that GFP could be used "as a luminous genetic tag."
Then came Tsien's contribution. A professor of pharmacology, chemistry and biochemistry at UCSD, Tsien combined varied training and multiple talents to take a promising but relatively untested scientific tool and make it much better.
Tsien found ways to make GFP glow more brightly and consistently. He then created a vast new palette of FP colors: yellow, blue, cyan and orange among them. In the words of Mark Ellisman, founding director of the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research at UCSD, it was "the whole Crayola box."
With many colors to work with, researchers can use FPs to track more than one cellular function at a time. But Tsien didn't stop there. He made FPs even more useful by creating versions that change as conditions such as acidity or calcium levels change. These FPs alter color, glow more brightly or more dimly, blink on and blink off.
"It's a profoundly new way of seeing the actual physiological state of a cell or animal," said David Kleinfeld, a professor of physics at UCSD and former collaborator with Tsien. "It's wild."
The importance of fluorescent proteins in scientific research cannot be overstated. Last year alone, more than 12,000 papers were published that employed GFP or other FPs, said Marc Zimmer, a professor of chemistry at Connecticut College and author of "Glowing Genes."
"I suspect that number will just continue to grow," Zimmer said. "There are millions of uses for the proteins."
For example, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Germany have used proteins developed by Tsien's lab to track working neurons in the brain of a live mouse, showing when neurons were communicating. They described the process as "making thought visible."

Thank you for visiting the website of for Kaleigh, Shane and Marci for Mental Health Awareness. We are a New Hampshire-based non-profit organization, which is also known as "Keep Sound Minds." This site and our organization are dedicated to the memories of Kaleigh and Shane Lambert and Marci Thibault, whose lives were lost as a result fo mental illness on January 11, 2008.
Mental Health Statistics
Our Mission
Our most recent session on October 28, 2014 was at the University of New Hampshire and featured Senator Kelly Ayotte and Miss New Hampshire 2004, Megan Cooley. Learn more about other educational sessions of Keep Sound Minds. See detail about other projects here.
On the evening of January 11th, 2008, Kaleigh and Shane Lambert, along with their aunt Marci Thibault, lost their lives due to an unimaginable incident on a Massachusetts highway. We founded Keep Sound Minds in 2008 to honor our young children and our twin sister (in-law) to increase awareness about the importance of education and improved treatment of mental illness. Most importantly, we want everyone to understand that Marci Thibault was a loving and caring person who always wanted to help others. Marci enjoyed children very much and worked as a daycare provider, field hockey & gymnastics coach. Everyone who knew her realized that Marci was generous, sincere and always thought of others before herself. In her right mind, Marci would never think of hurting herself or another human being, especially her beloved niece and nephew. The highway incident was the result of Marci experiencing a sudden, unexpected psychotic or delusional relapse. Marci and our young children, along with our entire family have suffered the consequences of misunderstood, unrecognized serious mental illness. We believe flawed policies and lack of information and education regarding mental health contributed to this tragedy. The goal of Keep Sound Minds is to change that. With increased knowledge of the complexities of the mind through education and research, many lives could be improved and saved. In the last six years, Keep Sound Minds has grown to include many volunteers and professionals who have seen the impact of untreated mental illness.
Ken and Danielle Lambert and the Keep Sound Minds
Board of Directors
Type your paragraph here.
Marci Thibault and Kaleigh and Shane Lambert
About one in four adults experiences some type of mental illness in a year, some types are very minor and others are very significant. Children and youth also have significant rates of mental illness. Approximately, 35,000 Americans commit suicide every year. Yet, despite these startling statistics, mental health is a topic that is difficult to discuss in some families, workplaces and other important organizations.

Oriental Chicken
|Boneless chicken
|1 1⁄2 Pound (150 Gram)
|Fresh root ginger
|1 Inch
|Canned pineapple rings
|Soy sauce
|3 Tablespoon
|Pale dry sherry/Rice wine
|3 Tablespoon
|Reserved pineapple syrup
|3 Tablespoon
|4 Ounce, cut into julienne strips (125 Gram)
|4 Ounce, cut into julienne strips (125 Gram)
|Green pepper
|2 Ounce, cut into julienne strips (60 Gram)
Cut the chicken meat into 1 cm/1/2 inch strips, and cut the peeled ginger root into the finest matchsticks you can manage, making about 1 tablespoon in all.
Cut the pineapple rings into 1 cm/1/2 inch segments.
Mix the chicken, ginger and pineapple together then marinate in a mixture of the soya, sherry and syrup for up to 2 hours at room temperature.
Blanch the finely cut vegetables in boiling water just long enough to brighten their colour and make them a little limp.
Drain and cover.
Drain the marinade from the chicken and pineapple and reserve.
Cook the chicken and pineapple in a wok if you have one, or stir in a heavy pan over quite high heat — if it is too low the chicken will not be sealed and will lose too much of its liquid, which toughens it.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the reserved marinade and the vegetables, toss lightly to mix well and heat through.
Serve with rice.

Some viewers cut cable, move online
If websites such as hulu.com, which has a large catalog of free TV shows, start charging users, as has been rumored, Hinds said he would look for other online outlets.
"It just seems like on the Internet you can always find something for free," he said.
One thing that's hard to find free online is live sports, and that forces even the most tech-wise types back to forking out the $50 a month for expanded TV service.
While there is plenty of live sports action online, it's not typically the high-demand events like NFL games or the NBA Finals. For instance, espn3.com, which offers live online sporting events to Cox high-speed Internet subscribers, recently streamed the NCAA lacrosse game between Army and Navy — not exactly the most sought-after contest in the world of sports.
The sports issue is big for Randy Simbro of Carmel Valley.
The 32-year-old IT consultant canceled cable in January because he thought he was wasting money and time on it. Three months into his cable-TV-free existence, Simbro is loving it. He's reading more books, spending more time with his wife and only watching what he wants on his laptop.
"Instead of wondering what's on TV, you find the show and you spend 45 minutes on it," he said. "You don't just veg out at your laptop."
While Simbro has enjoyed his cable-free life, that will all change come September.
"I might have been able to tough it out if it wasn't for football season," he said.
While no one likes paying a steep cable or satellite bill, Eiley said the main reason people have turned to the Internet for programming is they want to be in control.
"The huge cultural shift is that we want content whenever we want it," he said.
That means the real competition for Internet programming is digital video recorders, or DVRs. About 35 percent of all subscribers have a DVR, and Eiley predicts that will increase to 50 percent by the end of 2012.
The DVR has changed the way Solomon Chang views TV. Chang, 28, had been without TV service all through college and law school. The Mission Valley resident recently signed up for cable because he could split the cost with a roommate.
"I totally didn't realize all the stuff I was missing," he said.
The real revelation has been the DVR.
"It gives you more control," he said, which is partly why he also watches TV shows on his computer.
But Chang added, "The whole point of going online to watch TV is because it's free."

Oh no I was just laughing at the irony. But all is well, because I was able to get it to work.
I created my engineer and got the Enterprise stuff easy enough. I didn't try it out or anything. Just skipped the tutorial, got my stuff and went to bed. Though I haven't figured out how to get the skill boost. Typically with those things they send them to you in the mail, but I haven't received it yet.
I also went ahead and bought some more tokens to buy the extra character slots, so I have access to both when the ten days are up. I picked-up a
Delta Flyer
with the leftovers. I messed around with it some this morning. It sure is fun! Now I only hope
decides to do another small craft event.
To be honest, I haven't read the user agreement since I started in 2010. I don't remember if there are any restrictions on having more that one account. One of my friends had 3 gold memberships (1 life and 2 recurring) for testing ship builds. However, I haven't seen him since SWTOR came out.
That's pretty hardcore. But usually with P2P games "multi-boxing" isn't against the rules. It's certainly frowned upon and considered discourteous to fellow players, but they're getting more money from those that do it. What do they care.
But several of the F2P games I've played (Including other PWE games) have it written in the EULA that it's against the rules.
Though I'm surprised your friend isn't getting sick of SWTOR. I know am, and I absolutely adore it. But for one thing there are still a lot of kinks it needs to work out, and it's one of those games where it's really easy to get burned out on over playing. I kind of did.
In fact, I'm seriously considering canceling my sub and just focusing on STO until the next major update which is supposed to be Late March early April.
Just curious if you work at WSMR. That's where I picked up this identity. I used to love working the research rocket missions.
Nope. Though it would be an awesome job to have. I was just never too good at the maths.
I love going down there though. White Sands itself is one of the coolest places on Earth IMO. You can toboggan in the middle of summer.
But I like going down there just because there's so much cool stuff that flies into Holloman on a regular basis. B-52s and Bones fly in an out of there all the time. I saw an F-117 there once and even a pair of F-22s last summer. My brother saw a B-2 there a while back; I wasn't with him, unfortunately.

You have to use old bioses in order to achieve any sort of overclock with the 600-series of chipsets.
Believe me intel's quad cores just don't mix with nvidia chipsets. :-/ Mine's perfectly stable at 3Ghz, but anything over that and it becomes unstable...(you could also try lowering the multi to 8x to see if there are any fsb holes - 450x8 is the only way for me to reach 3,6Ghz, but requires a lot of juice! Kind of wish I had gone for an intel based mobo instead.... 400-450 fsb won't boot for me and even 3ghz was unreachable on newer bioses.

Kickball. Geocaching. Yoga. Newspapers. American Sign Language. Drama. TV Studio.
If it's a topic of interest to the students at Abington Heights Middle School, there's a good chance it's on the list of after school clubs and activities, which take place Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for three separate six-week sessions throughout the school year.
According to Assistant Principal Eduardo Antonetti, the after school program has been in place for many years, but has expanded a lot in the past five. He said the school, which currently has about 1,100 students enrolled, offers 40 different after school activities in which about 400 students participate.
Antonetti said the program connects the interests of the students with the talents of the faculty members. He said he feels it is a very important part of the middle school experience.
One way the program benefits the students, he said, is they get to see their teachers in a new light. He said it also helps the students meet new friends they may not have gotten to know outside the clubs and gives them a chance to participate in a fun supervised activity during a time of day when many would otherwise be home alone waiting for parents to return from work.
An after-school activities program also can provide students with improved self-esteem, motivation and socialization skills, said Antonetti in a letter sent home to parents, Our programs are designed to be fun, interactive, and educational.
Antonetti said his goal for the program is to keep it going strong and keep refining it. He often receives requests from students about new clubs and activities they would like to see during the next session and he said if enough students show an interest in the same topic, those requests are often obliged.
For example, he said one student recently requested a Minecraft computer game club and collected several student signatures on a petition saying they would sign up for such an activity. He said there's a good chance he will now open a Minecraft club in a future session.
One club currently offered is the Mural Club, which Antonetti said creates colorful murals on the walls in the school hallways.
Another is the juggling club, led by seventh grade reading teacher Rob Smith, who started the club 10 years ago when he first started teaching at the school.
Eric Spencer, and eighth grade student, said he began attending the juggling club about three years ago and has fun juggling and performing what he's learned for his family members at home.
Another current after-school activity is the Glee Club, led by music teacher Deano Noto, who started it last year. Noto said the club is designed for children who want to sing.
I have such a group of highly spirited kids who all want to be stars, he said.
Noto allows the students to come up with their own ideas and encourages them to create routines to accompany their songs. The students work on their own and together, and he guides them along when needed.
Another is the Ping-Pong Club, led by teacher Michael Boylan, who originated it this past year and also has led a debate club for the past four or five years.
One member of the Ping-Pong Club, Jasmine McDuffie, said she enjoys the competition of the game and joined because she just thought it would be fun. Boylan said he believes participating in the activities is important for the students because it helps them establish new friendships and gives them another outlet to express themselves.

MMOs are by nature "work in progress" games, yet the patchnotes do not feel like any decent progress is made.
And i get that feeling regularly because i hate to say it the length of last weeks patchnotes are the exception, these 4 liners are a lot more common.
I want to see Patchnotes like last weeks ...lets just say, more often?
There are too many bugs still left after Season 6 + 7 to let any week go by with 4 liner Patchnotes.
I don't expect the whole team to work on bugfixing and polish... but lets try to make 15 liner Patchnotes more often hmm?
I agree with this.
If they keep up the feature creep without actually fixing the existing ones their program will, sooner or later, be irreparably messed up.
It's something that has killed quite a few MMOs.
He's dead, Jim.

violated. Sometimes institutions may be unwilling or unable to respond to an ethical transgression in the way the scientific community would desire. Researchers might then have to decide the extent to which they are willing to impose and enforce sanctions themselves.
A broad spectrum of misconduct falls into the category of plagiarism, ranging from obvious theft to uncredited paraphrasing that some might not consider dishonest at all. In a lifetime of reading, theorizing, and experimenting, a person's work will inevitably incorporate and overlap with that of others. However, occasional overlap is one thing; systematic use of the techniques, data, words, or ideas of others without appropriate acknowledgment is another.
A person's background can play a role in considering episodes of plagiarism. For example, what if May had never been taught the conventions and institutional policies governing the attribution of other's work? Should she then have been treated more leniently?
Francine's most obvious option is to discuss the situation with her research advisor, but she has to ask herself if this is the best alternative. Her advisor is professionally and emotionally involved in the situation and may not be able to take an impartial stance. In addition, because the advisor is involved in the situation, she may feel the need to turn the inquiry into a formal investigation or to report the inquiry to her supervisors.
Francine should also consider whether she can discuss the situation directly with Sylvia. Many suspicions evaporate when others have a chance to explain actions that may have been misinterpreted.
If Francine feels that she cannot talk with Sylvia, she needs some way to discuss her concerns confidentially. Maybe she could turn to a trusted friend, another member of the faculty, someone on the university's administrative staff, or an ombudsman designated by the university. That person can help Francine explore such questions as: What is known and what is not known about the situation? What are the options available to her? Should she put her concerns in writing, an action likely to lead to a formal investigation?

The first one that swept me off my feet was this Blueberry & Avocado Smoothie that reminds me of Raw Blueberry Cheesecake. It is sweet, creamy, smooth, colorful and delicious, so it instantly became my new favorite brunch.
March 4, 2014
"The world-famous Hurricane is a Pat O'Brien's original. The cocktail is a sweet alcoholic drink consisting of rum, passion fruit syrup and limejuice.
March 3, 2014
Am I telling you to have a chocolate mylkshake for breakfast? Yes. Am I saying it will change your world and alter your taste buds' perception of reality for ever more? Yep.
March 2, 2014
I figured that a cocktail with the flavors of King Cake is the next best thing. I'm also guessing that a lot of people choose to give up alcohol for Lent, so this can be a final hurrah, as well.
March 1, 2014
This delicious and refreshing citrus moscato sangria recipe is made with a variety of citrus fruits, honey, orange liqueur and moscato wine.

Usually I'm sort of a margarita purist,I usually don't even salt my glass. Once in a while, though, I get a craving for something a little different and with almost 10 pounds of clementines staring at me, it was pretty much fate.
February 26, 2014
This hot chocolate mix recipe is a simple, dairy-free deal made with sugar, Dutch cocoa powder, ground bittersweet chocolate and ground Earl Grey tea.
February 25, 2014
The Penicillin at least went to the same school as the Sazerac, even if they're not quite real brothers. Both drinks bring the best out of the spirits involved, using sugar and an aromatizing agent to both bookend and smooth the edges.
February 24, 2014
My recent addiction has been a blood orange and chili combo. I got something similar at Whole Foods and I've been on a quest to recreate it ever since. It's sweet with a little kick at the end, I can't get enough of the combo.
February 23, 2014
Orangey with a touch of bitter. Herbal enough between the thyme and vermouth that it constantly plays with the mind as the flavors unfold on the tongue.
February 22, 2014
Ho`oilo (pronounced huh-OH-ee-low) is the Hawaiian word for winter. Winter is a thrilling time to be a Tiki fan, because it's when citrus is at it's freshest.So to celebrate the joy we feel during citrus season we decided to create a punch for the occasion.
February 21, 2014
I wanted to not only create a drink that was breakfast friendly and decidedly lacking in orange juice as a component, but also a perfect snapshot of my favorite time of year. I think this version nicely captures all of the flavors of pumpkin pie.
February 20, 2014
The first time I made Orange Julius for my little guy, he said it tastes like orange sunshine. I wanted to name the recipe this but thought it may confuse people, but it was still adorable!
February 19, 2014
To the city that left us eternally enchanted, we raise the Conti & Royal this Mardi Gras season. This very approachable, but spirit-forward concoction begins with a full two teaspoons of Peychaud's Bitters.
February 18, 2014
It's simple, refreshing, and lovely. It's blood orange and bourbon…what's not to like?
February 17, 2014
The smell is intoxicating. The addition of the orange gives it a nice citrus zing.
February 16, 2014
After drinking a few Cafe Royals, I knew that coffee and Chartreuse went well to together, so I decided to do some experimenting and came up with a delightful concoction I call The Morning After.
February 15, 2014
one of my simplest cocktail creations
February 14, 2014
I think you'll like the blood orange against the basil and the margarita meets French kiss cocktail combination.
February 13, 2014
Some frozen strawberries, some soda, some ice, some mint leaves, some strawberries and your punch is ready.
February 12, 2014
I love champagne. More accurately, I love bubbles. I have neither the discerning palate nor plump wallet to be picky concerning the region of my grapes. It just sounds fancier to say champagne cocktail though, no?
February 11, 2014
I think everyone's a sucker for mojitos, especially when there's fresh fruit thrown in them!
February 10, 2014
I used to drink spiked coffee with a splash of Bailey's on celebratory occasions. It's good, but this is so much better.
February 9, 2014
Here's a nice cocktail recommendation, my own Yellowbird of Sunshine, which mixes vodka with lemon juice and Maraschino liqueur, and tastes absolutely delicious.
February 8, 2014
A winter red wine sangria with pomegranates and oranges, as well some cranberries, a cinnamon stick and a heavy splash of brandy.
February 7, 2014
Sometimes you just have got to have a sweet treat. This single serving hot cocoa is quick, easy, and takes a BIG bite out of that sweet tooth.
February 6, 2014
Friends, this cocktail is so good – dangerously good! It'll warm your soul and heart so you can embrace the new year with full force.
February 5, 2014
nothing can compare to the delicious smell of hot apple cider simmering away on the stove.
February 4, 2014
Seriously though, this was a mighty tasty sangria. I like that it's not sickeningly sweet, and the fresh mint really adds a herbal zing to please the palate.

|Welcome to Northeast !!!
We are beginning to plan our 10th Annual Spring Northeast Walks! This year it will be May 4th through May 8th. We will have two walking buses – one starting from Our Lady's parking lot and one from the corner of Doty and Circle. A Walking Bus is a group of people who walk from one location to another and "picks up" other walkers along the way. On Wednesday, May 6th we have arranged, with parental permission, North American Central School Buses to stop and drop off bus students on the corner of Abbott and Gilman so they can participate in the walking bus. We will be using the permission slips we got in the fall, unless we hear from you. If you need another permission slip, please call the office. We will be looking for volunteers to help out throughout the week – look for the slip that will come home soon!
I will be sending out the classroom placement letter and questionnaire later this month. Your input aids us in the long process of determining classroom placement for the coming year. The process has many steps. An example of how it would work for children moving from Grade 1 to Grade 2: Grade 1 and Grade 2 teachers meet with administrators, School Adjustment Counselor, Reading Specialist and Special Educators and come up with a first draft of groupings that incorporate many factors (who should be with whom, who shouldn't be with whom, making sure that classes are diverse and heterogeneous to name a few). Often times, this group meets more than once. During this time, parent input is addressed. After the list is typed, it goes out to Grade 1 and Grade 2 teachers two to three times for revisions. Students are given an opportunity to meet with the Grade 2 teacher on the last day of school. As you can imagine, we work hard to make sure that every possible concern is addressed in order that your child is placed in a classroom where s/he will be able to do his or her best learning. This is a process that we take very seriously and spend a considerable amount of time and energy on. It is essential that it is not shortchanged. I am sure that you agree that this is something that should be attended to carefully.
Enjoy your April vacation! I have predicted that all of the snow will be gone by then – do you think I will be correct?

This Lectionary Reflection is cross-posted at the Ekklesia Project Easter 5, Year C John 13:31-35 She stood outside of the meeting room, a cigarette in hand–crying. This was a weekend spiritual retreat, a time of renewal, but for this woman it was clearly painful, even degrading. My wife approached the woman and asked what was wrong.

Co-Host: Wendy Amara
Topic: SCVi Charter, Student personal projects
Guests: Elizabeth Rydal , Zoey Rizzo, Jonny Wachter , Lane Murphy, Paige Guarino, Christian Robledo, Brittany Hassen
Airing Mondays at 1 PM Life Leadership with Alex Urbina. Alex will you help you consider new possibilities that you couldn't see before.
Life Leadership with Alex Urbina – March 25, 2013
SCVi charter students talk about their projects that they have this year. Brittany Hassen's project is about baking. Brittany enjoys decorating and designing cakes and bake goods and with her being a bake sale was able to make $33.
Christian Robledo is pursuing SWAT and an occupation towards law enforcement. He had the opportunity to go to a tactical training. Placed second in a few events and first for some. In the explorer program and is trying to bring something back to the badge and remove the negative stereotypes that police have.
Trying to bring back the good name of the police. The personal project Christian set out to accomplish is to interview various officers.
"You have to put on a mask when at work and take it off when at home." Said one of the officers Christian interviewed. "You are not a cop 24/7 and have to be able to relax."
We are the only school that does a personal project and a real extensive project like this allows the students to go into a field they want to be in. Find out what is in their heart, Elizabeth said.
IIt is great that you get to have an experience so early, Alex said.
The personal project is a great project that allows the students to get that experience early and in a nutshell they pick their personal interest and a specific question that they have. then we find a education style that the project falls into. Then they pick a mentor, there isn't a teacher following them but a mentor in the real world outside the school, Elizabeth said.
Paige Guarino's projects is trying to remove a bus route off her street.
My goal is to do something in political science and government, Paige said. I wanted to pick something that may not be a problem but something we should fix. I made a proposal to remove a bus route that has had problems so it would be safer for the children on that street.
What I am hearing is that you are handling things in real life. It is not a fake project but real things that can change the city, Wendy Amara said.
"What are you gaining from this project," Alex said.
Learning what it takes and systems in real life and how it is actually done.
A lot of our students do not see it as homework but they are always doing such interesting things that they are passionate about.
Jonny Wachter is creating a longboard deck for his project. I am getting the wood and designing the art that inspires me, he said. I am starting from scratch. I am researching different paints and adhesives that will make it last. So far I have my deck wood and have it shaped and now in the design phase, it is my passion.
SCVi is great because they allow and encourage their students to follow their passions, Alex said.

Late-breaking decision: getting the word out about the InnerChange ruling.
To be fair to the judge, I should note it was 4:45 in Iowa where he was working. Still, the late-day release presented a challenge. Complicating matters was the fact that our chief litigator in the case had already left for the day and was preparing to leave Washington for a well-deserved vacation.
But here was the real problem: When a decision is as well reasoned as that issued by Judge Robert Pratt in our case challenging Iowa's financing of a Prison Fellowship program called InnerChange that sought to convert people to fundamentalist Christianity, you want to let people know about it. You want The New York Times and The Washington Post and the Associated Press to be able to report the story so people learn about it. But sometimes reporters have plans for Friday nights that might involve something other than figuring out the significance of a 140-page legal opinion.
However, when a judge makes an extraordinarily rigorous ruling stating, "For all practical purposes, the state has literally established an Evangelical Christian congregation within the walls of one of its penal institutions...,"it's worth it to bum the midnight oil.
This meant tracking down Alex Luchenitser, AU's senior litigation counsel, and getting him on the phone with Heather Weaver, an AU legal fellow who helped him with the case. It also meant that people in the Legal Department (and even yours truly) had to read the decision, analyze it and help the Communications Department craft a press release. We also had to track down the journalists who have been covering this case for more than three years.
Remarkably, it all came together. Reporters' deadlines were met, and the next day, stories appeared in The Post, The Times, the Des Moines Register and the Associated Press.
In the days that followed, Prison Fellowship staffers and their supporters began making all sorts of strange, occasionally even apocalyptic, pronouncements about the judge's ruling. It started when I appeared on Fox News Channel's "The Big Story" with host John Gibson on Sunday night.
John made a familiar argument: Americans United must want to see more crime, since we worked against this program. He asserted, "I have a feeling here that [if] you are choosing, you would choose recidivists over religionists."
There are a few problems with this argument. For starters, the only study that purported to show that InnerChange works was quickly debunked. In addition, I favor giving all prisoners access to good programs of job training, family life skills and counseling, whether they are willing to go through a religious program or not
I didn't have time to get into all of that on the air, but I did say that one answer to meeting the spiritual needs of inmates is for prison administrators to help get volunteer chaplains into prisons instead of creating obstacles to their access.
John responded, "Do you expect church workers to go into prisons? The prisoners have nothing to give them...."
I was taken aback. People, religious and non-religious, do such work for nothing all of the time. They just want to improve society and reach out to someone in need. I pointed out that this was originally the way Prison Fellowship founder Charles Colson ran his programs, as a charity, not a government-subsidized program. (I don't discuss theology on the Fox News Channel so I didn't even bring up that the Bible says that anyone who visits a person in prison is visiting Christ as well.)
My mention of Colson, however, caused John to react strangely. He accused me of opposing InnerChange because I carry a grudge against late President Richard M. Nixon! It's true Colson worked for Nixon, but I'm hardly upset about that old history. I simply don't want the taxpayer to have to pick up the tab for Colson's evangelism.
A day or two later, this story was all over fundamentalist Christian Web sites and talk radio. Mark Earley, president of Prison Fellowship, told Focus on the Family Radio that if this decision stood, it would remove God from the prisons of America. This staggering assertion that secular institutions can throw deities out by court order has always baffled me when coming from people who see God as omnipresent and all powerful.
Gordon Robertson, filling in for his father Pat, also chatted up Earley on "The 700 Club," suggesting that Americans United wouldn't be fighting this program if it was about Confucianism. Wrong again. Over the years, AU has fought government support for Buddhism, Transcendental Meditation and Islam.
In spite of confusing rhetoric from the Religious Right, Judge Pratt's decision is compellingly logical. It suggests that when governments get too closely involved with aiding prison ministries, financially or logistically (in Iowa, honors prisoners were removed from their spot to make way for the Christian program), they risk being successfully challenged as violating the constitutional rights of others.
In short, there is a place for faith behind bars--but it's not the taxpayers' job to pay for someone else's evangelistic efforts.

For us, there are few better ways to relieve stress than by taking a car to the ragged edge of its abilities.
"There are almost no new cars left on the market that can be safely pushed to their limits. There's something fantastically fun about driving a car with low limits and pushing it as hard as possible to hit those limits," declares managing editor of digital platforms Jennifer Misaros. "One of those cars is our Fiat 500 Sport.
"Even though the car is fairly low to the ground, the upright windshield gives the driver a good view of the road ahead. The shifter, although frustratingly vague, has a nice lightness to it. Driving this thing hard makes me appreciate the Fiat that much more."
Senior editor Eric Tingwall shares her sentiment. "The Fiat 500 is just so honest and upfront about what it is," says Tingwall. "It has a meager amount of power and cramped headroom, and its short wheelbase makes for a busy ride, but the Fiat/Chrysler engineers have done a nice job damping impacts so the ride is never choppy. The car's humble powerplant seems very content at full throttle, as it needs to be -- I don't think I've ever driven so many miles with my foot to the floor."
No one on staff is impervious: the Fiat charms us into thinking it needs to be driven at full-tilt all the time. Puttering along like a Sunday driver simply won't do. "Driving a slow car quickly is one of the best feelings in the automotive world," reiterates senior web editor Phil Floraday. "Anyone can feel like a driving god when the limits are as low as they are in our Fiat. I'd love to flog a Fiat 500 of any flavor around a track for a day. Unfortunately, I already hit my head on the roof, and that's without a helmet. Too bad."
As you can see, we love wringing this thing out. It might be slow, but damned if it isn't fun. Check back next month to see if we have to order a new set of tires or not.

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado's governor and the mayor of Denver say they're pleased the International Olympic Committee and U.S. Olympic Committee have reached a revenue-sharing agreement.
In a joint statement issued Thursday, Gov. John Hickenlooper and Mayor Michael Hancock said the agreement is one step in a marathon toward a potential USOC bid for the return of the Olympics to U.S. soil.
Denver is among cities that have expressed early interest in bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Hickenlooper and Hancock said they continue to explore all of the issues relevant to Denver potentially submitting a bid, if and when the time is right.

I know everybody is different but if you are already a mom - when did you first need to have special/different clothing? Anybody wear their regular clothes all the way to the end? We are only having one baby so I plan to borrow from friends - seems a waste to spend money on something you'll not wear for very long. I'd rather buy baby stuff! :D
When do you start to need "maternity wear"?
I was 20 weeks.....but that was just me wanting to be in maturnity clothes. lol. i was a eager first time mom....bet i could have lasted in leggins and a few big sweaters until i was about 28 weeks.
Married the man of my dreams 5/17/10
Had my prince on 8/14/11 :)
Awaiting baby #2 may 2014
Here's my advice - once your pants start getting tight around the belly and you're suffering, just go for the maternity pants! Doesn't matter if its in the 5th week or 18 th... you'll be so happy you did!
Married the Love of My Life! (7/4/09), DD (12/22/09), DS1 (10/26/11), DS2 (05/07/14)
Me + DH = (E) 10/16/2011 and (A) 5/18/2014
(.Y.) Diamond!
With #1 I was a 4-5 months along before I needed maternity clothes to be comfortable. With #2, I was in those maternity pants by 12 weeks because I couldn't STAND my regular pants one second longer. Whew! SO much more comfy! I'm not quite 4 weeks with #3, but I already feel those pants getting snug. Maternity clothes CAN be expensive, but I've had great luck on eBay and thrift stores. It's also OK to splurge on one or two things that really make you feel beautiful. There may come a point later on when you need that pick me up! Good luck!
LPN, currently SAHM to Toddler KM & Toddler KD.
Married DH 7/08; DD 9/11 (Craniostenosis); DD 9/12; expecting a boy in May 14!
Depends on ms. #1 was at 12 weeks and #2 was at about 8 weeks. This time I am so sick I'm losing weight fast. I may be able to hold off until week 12 again. For me it is all about comfort, if I want stretchy pants in two weeks, I will wear them.

It all depends on condition of the cover, is it still in the original cover, is the record scratched, who is the singer, is it a 78/45/LP.
You have so many variables, have a look here enter link description here and scroll down to Most valuable records and see if you have any of them.

Most large cities have fairly regular Record/CD fairs or outlets, so it might pay to check that out. You might even have an old record store or market stall in your midst, but having said that, our local city has lost over the past few months, two of our long established outlets due to failing business and retirements.
Going by the local recycling depot and a women car-booter who lives near to me,the old records have very low value (from 5p each), but some of the charity shops still seem to want 50p/£1.00 for them, with sometimes special offer of 4 for a £1.00, when they are taking up storage space. If you have a particular 'collectable' that someone really wants, then you might be in look. Check eBay or do a website search.
I often purchase very good condition and various addition release CD's from Amazon for 1p plus £1.26 postage, so I would hate to think what the trade pays for these, when and where they obtain their supplies?.

It is not all doom and gloom so be very careful about what you throw away especially if it is vinyl. I have many LP's from the 60's which are worth a lot of money so you really need to look into what you have before disposing of any of them. Even some very popular LP's like Sgt Pepper can be worth over £100 if you have the right version and it is in good condition.

Last year I inherited many hundreds of vinyl LP's when my brother past away, like yours 60's-80's. I had the same issue of trying to get good value from them, it was not easy. There are quite a few dealers in the west midlands and none were interested in paying more that 50p per disc no matter what it was. I put them on ebay in the end as a job lot and just two collector/dealers showed any interest. Did get a fair price in the end but unless you have a real gem to sell on its own you might not as get much as some collectors books will tell you.

I buy lp's from charity shops...a good tip is to take the record out of the sleeve and look at the labelled area near the central hole...if no squiggly lines are observed, then it's a good 'un, and not been placed too often on the previous owner's record player.

List the Zappa stuff on Ebay - there's plenty of Zappa collectors out there.
The Beatles stuff will be worthless unless it's a rarity, there's simply too much out there.
I've seen good quality Led Zeppelin vinyl sell for double figures.
Dealers will only buy what they think they can sell in their particular market, and things go in and out of fashion. I've got a fully autographed Happy Monday's radio promo CD single, only about 100 made. At one point I was offered £100 for it, but a few years ago when I moved house I looked into raising some cash and was only offered £2.50 for it, so it's still taking up space in my CD rack until the time is right (I was waiting for one of the band to buy the farm, always a useful way to temporarily push up prices. As the late great Anthony H Wilson (Mondays label boss) said "Ian's [Curtis] death was the best thing that happened to Factory Records")

Resraurant at the beach: St. Peter's Fish
Three types of fish were primarily sought by fishermen in antiquity in these waters. Sardines likely were the "two small fish" that the boy brought to the feeding of the 5000. Sardines and bread was the staple product of the locals. Barbels are so known because of the barbs at the corners of their mouths. The third type is called musht but is more popularly known today as "St. Peter's Fish." This fish has a long dorsal fin which looks like a comb and can be up to 1.5 feet long and 3.3 lbs in weight.

The apartment was beautiful to say the least. Perfect views from the balcony, good location and maintained very well. We were a set of five friends and we had an enjoyable stay. The hosts were very hospitable and there was a welcome package awaiting for us with the basic necessities. The city center was pretty close and so were the other attractions. Would definitely recommend to other travelers as it is cheaper than staying in a hotel and a thousand times better because it is more spacious and you have your independence. Thank you once again for the lovely stay, we will definitely be in contact if we come again in the Summer.

Necklace road is where you can spot many couples and families walking around enjoying the view of the lake, albeit polluted, it still offers a contemplative charm to many a writer. Bharatamma is a sugarcane juice vendor at Necklace road, while you can find dozens scattered across the pavements, Bharatamma's 20 years of experience sets her apart. In fact, she runs the sugarcane juice stall along with her husband and four of her kids sell aerated drinks and ice-creams near her stall. Bharatamma, originally from Medak, settled down in the city along with her husband.
Her day starts early and she is up by 4.00 a.m. "We get the sugarcane everyday from a godown near Tarakarama theatre and make juice at Necklace Road," she says. Why here? "This road is beautiful, people say the lake smells but there is some beauty to it otherwise why would so many people come here? I love watching lovers walk hand in hand," she smiles.
"I make the juice well, I know how much ice and lime to give the right kind of zing,"
Three men walk by, she hands them three glasses without questions. She says, "These three men have been coming to me ever since they were in college and I just hand them over their drinks now, they don't even ask me anymore," she smiles. Does she sip a few glasses in the order of business? Her face contorts and she squeals that she hates sugarcane juice and then laughs. "I prefer tea. I am good at selling it, but I dislike the beverage," she says.
On an average, she gets about 100 people in a day; but what about the off-season? "When it starts to rain, I shift to selling corn cobs, I keep the juice stall too because there are many who like to drink it," she says with a wide grin.
