Container List
:1 Cocopas -- Indians -- in Calexico. They did not like to have their pictures taken as in their ignorance they thought that pointing the camera toward them worked some evil influnce[sic] over them. So one turned his back and I snapped the other as he turned to see what I was doing. And was he angry!
:2 This Cocopa just would not show his face to my Kodack but I got his lovely locks of hair. When these fellows had a cold they tied colored, yard wide cheese cloth over their noses and mouths, to keep the air out and bands of the material around their heads if they had a headache or "something".
:3 These two Mexicans made adobe bricks for Mr. Miller's house which never was built. Thses[sic] men slept and cooked and lived in this ramada which they built of grease-wood branches. The bricks were destroyed when the Alamo River rose during the summer over-flow of the Colorado River. Year 1903.
:4 A prosperous appearing family domiciled in Mexicali almost on the line. Her teeth were filled with much gold. On her stove were tortillas cooking and on the ends of the reeds which formed the wells of the residence were empty egg shells. She smilingly consented to have her picture taken while her husband was taking a siesta within.
:5 The Miller tent out on the 5 acre corner of town. Quite comfortable and novel. And enjoyed until the scare about the Colorado river overflowing and the danger of it flooding the Imperial Valley. Then the fun was all over and fear filled our souls.
:6 The only park in the first days of Brawley was a 6 by 6 feet corner next to Mr. Miller'[sic]tent residence.A few feet away were the two brick makers' renada[sic].The two little girls were Mr. Miller's daughters. This was the only tent in the town that had a shake roof. Part of the frame supporting it is here shown.
:7 Mr. F.S. Miller and his daughter Margaret eating the first watermellon[sic] grown in Brawley. They are waiting for dinner to be served. Mr. Miller built the first hotel building "The Bungalow Hotel" where his family lived until they left the Valley. He also built the first school building where his daughters attended. On Sundays services were held there. Miss Whited was the first schoolteacher.
:8 Margaret and Elizabeth Miller with their first burro which gave them very much pleasure and taught them patience and tact and some Spanish in their management of him. They named him "He-Haw".
:9 Margaret Miller and "He-Haw". Hitched up and standing as was his custom.
:10 The young man with the ax was "our hired man" and the group of three children were the Hoverly children who lived in an adobe house across the flume from our tent. Ours and the Hoverlys were the only two families living within a mile of other people, excepting the brick makers. The two girls in the picture were Margaret Miller and Elizabeth Miller.
:11 Dr. C.H. Heard driving his team with a wagon filled with goods from his store together with his customer he delivered them to the later's[sic] ranch in #8 west of the town of Brawley. On the return trip Dr. Heard was alone when a dust storm so filled the air that he lost his way. The few landmarks such as hummocks and tha[sic] river and the distant Signal Mountain 100 miles away were oblitered[sic]. But after a few uncomfortable, belated hours he safely reached his home and anxious family.
:12 C.H. Heard and his first store marked #1[referring to markings on front of print]. No.2 was his hotel where trancients[sic] comming[sic] into the Imperial Vallely to take up Desert Claims, would stay all night for a dollar a cot -- dormitory style. Tent # 3 was occupied by Mr. F.S. Miller and his wife until they moved out on the edge of town on a five acre lot. Intending to build an adobe house but the summer heat and dust drove them to the rear room of the bank after it was built. Mr. Miller was the promoter of the town of Brawley. The Olla hanging in the shade represents the town pump.
:13 The Hoverly family and their tent house just before they built their adobe residence.
:14 Pete Hoverly and family and their new adobe house, being the first one built in Brawley.
:15 Moving the restraunt[sic] to a new location; on Main St. near the Park. The "Plaza" park in the business section was planted by Mr. Miller in 1903. They had trouble to irrigate it at first as the water ran down a gopher hole for days until Mr. Miller declared it had reached China. The palms that are there now were brought in from Los Angeles on a flat car and to get them over to the "Plaza" took all the man and horse power in town.
:16 A gentleman's residence in Calexico. In the year 1903.
:17 A shelter for the animals. Near Calexico.
:18 The bank building in process of construction. Also the new Heard store, next door. Mr. Miller built and owned the bank, the "First National of Brawley". Mr. Heard owned the store, this being his second move in two months. He moved into larger quarters three times within four months so rapidly did the town grow.
:19 Adobe walls of the bank after the fire. Winter of 1903. When Peter Hoverly was ill in a rooming house next door to the bank, a friend lighted an oil heater which had gasoline instead of oil and when it exploided[sic] badly burning Mr. Hoverly and set the bank afire. It was all over in 20 minutes and the town was no doubt saved by the heroic efforts of every man, woman, and child. C.H. Heard the owner of the only store wrapped himself in wetblankets[sic] his wife sent from her home, climbed onto roof of the bank and threw on water handed him in buckets, stew pans and kettles.
:20 The walls of the bank after the fire.
:21 After the fire. The bank walls and the heard[sic] store in the background. This shows the commotion soon after the fire in the rear of the building.
:22 Sacks of wheat, cut and threshed and sacked by the combined harvester. 1903
:23 The Alamo River Imperial Valley, California.

The 3/4" FHT plastic back-flow preventer (anti-siphon valve) from Hendrickson Bros. is an effective and economical way to eliminate the risk of back-flow contamination from an outdoor hose bib (faucet) or other water outlet with hose threads. Constructed of high-strength ABS plastic the back-flow preventer is made of corrosion resistant material with outstanding reliability and long life. The devises are laboratory tested and industry approved since 1984.
The 3/4" plastic back-flow preventer (anti-siphon valve) from Hendrickson Bros.is available in 3/4" with female hose thread or pipe thread. The back-flow device is installed at the beginning of a drip irrigation system and is used to prevent water from back siphoning into the water supply line. The back-flow device should always be used when applying fertilizer and when applying fertilizer the back-flow device should be the first item installed after the faucet. Install it with a pressure regulator with hose or pipe thread.
Important: This type of back-flow device (vacuum breaker) cannot be used under continuous pressure.
Codes do not permit the use of this device under continuous pressure as the back-flow device can stop functioning in emergency conditions. If used under constant pressure, the back-flow device can crack and fail due to a pressure surge when downstream valves close. Some municipalities or local water districts require the use of back-flow device/atmospheric vacuum breakers. Make sure to check your local city code to see if you need to install this device.

It's total Bratz style to have lots of great people in our life (in addition to our amazing families!). Friends are a big part of our childhood memories, our school days and summer fun. They make us laugh, smile, and sometimes even make us cry. This is all part of what goes into being friends with someone and we think having a friend or two is really awesome.
Today all the Bratz got together to write this blog post as friends. We all love each other (and you, Bratzie) so much that we thought it was time to talk about what goes into being a friend.
First, we think a good friend is always there to support others. With positive energy and words of encouragement, friends are there to lift your spirits when times get tough. Sometimes a friend has to give advice or say things that their friends may not want to hear, but it is important to always tell the truth in a loving way. A friend never wants to hurt another person on purpose.
We also think a friend always looks out for bad fashion! Jade would never let Cloe leave the house in an outfit that's not so stylish. Sometimes we consider ourselves the Fashion Police for each other. LOL! But again, we always say it in a nice way.
Most importantly, we're all friends because we like each other and want to create fun times and memories. We all have common interests (like Cloe & Jade with cheerleading) and share a love for fashion. It's always a good time hanging with the besties and all of us make an effort to keep our friendships strong. It's all about trying! Try to be a good friend and you will be one!
There are many things that go into being a good friend. This is a topic we'd like to talk more about as time goes on. Would you Bratzies be interested in reading more posts about friendship?
What do you think goes into being a good friend? Tell us in a comment!

SHALIMAR — With a screech, a tinkle of breaking glass and a final crunch, Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry Ashley crushed about $1 million worth of locally seized drug paraphernalia with a construction roller in front of the Sheriff's Office.
The bongs, pipes, gas masks and other items were ordered by the court to be destroyed, which typically involves taking them to Jacksonville for disposal. However, Ashley's symbolic gesture emphasized the message of Wednesday's press conference.
Watch a video of Sheriff Ashley rolling over $1 million worth of drug paraphernalia. >>
Ashley, Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson and Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen launched the local "Operation Dry Spring," a statewide initiative to combat underage drinking, smoking and illegal drug use — particularly synthetic drugs — during spring break.
In Okaloosa County, the "Gold Star Retailer" campaign asks convenience stores to sign an agreement not to sell synthetic drugs. The participating businesses are given a sign announcing their pledge to patrons.
Since January 2012, the sheriff's Drug Task Force has completed 62 undercover buys of illegal synthetic drugs from local businesses, made four arrests, executed 22 search warrants, seized eight vehicles, $625,000 in cash and $2.9 million in inventory.
"We will put you out of business and put you in jail if you continue to sell these drugs to our kids," Ashley said.
The Sheriff's Office also has created two public service announcements, "Dry Spring" and "Safe Summer" to inform Beach TV viewers of the dangers of illegal synthetic drugs.
"Tolerance is permission, and we will no longer give permission through inaction," Ashley said.
About 1,100 arrests were made in Walton County last spring break, Adkinson said. The Sheriff's Office wants to have an even greater presence this year.
"We intend to maintain the quality of life for the residents of Walton County," he said.
It won't be uncommon for 65 deputies to be patrolling the peak areas, Adkinson added. Deputies will be courteous and professional, but there will be zero tolerance for underage drinking, drug use and other unsafe behavior.
"We're going to protect them from themselves," Adkinson said of the spring breakers.
McKeithen from Bay County said his office is preparing for the "perfect storm" — about 2 million young adults to come through the county in 47 days.
"They think they can fly," he said.

Malian refugees began arriving in Mauritania in February 2012; today, almost 70,000 people are living in Mbera camp alone. There, they are far from the conflict, but living conditions are difficult and many children are becoming malnourished.
Though the camp is far from the conflict, living conditions here are precarious. Since the start of the year, the number of malnourished children has more than doubled.
Close to 170,000 refugees now live in the countries bordering Mali. They hear the stories of the continuing violence back in Mali. They will not return home any time soon.

New 'Skyfall' images confirm that Javier Bardem looks disturbing with blonde hair
I feel like all Javier Bardem does is take disturbing roles. The same goes for his new character — the villian in the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. Thanks to some new images, we get to see Bond on a bike, Bardem looking creepy with blond hair, and Berenice Marlohe's character Severine looking quite sexy.
Bond. Villain. Girl. Let's do this.
They're on a boat. They're on a boat. She's got nice cleavage on a mutha fu*kin' boat. Sorry...
I'm more and more hyped for this movie with every image that gets released. What about you? How excited are you for the new Bond movie?
Skyfall opens in theaters November 9, 2012.

Tony Robbins Reveals The Tiny Difference Between Failure And Success: SEE HOW TO SET YOURSELF UP TO ACHIEVE GUARANTEED SUCCESS!
Success is a CHOICE and a DECISION, but you have to be CERTAIN you want it, to have the inner drive to get there.
For success you need clarity, and then work a certain plan with absolute consistency, and Tony Robbins has just greatly explained how to achieve this.
It is your personal set-up, the specific success formula, that Tony just revealed, and your business goals will be successful. Provided you also have the correct business set-up as well, of course.
When you know what you want, but still haven't found a business model that really suits you or you still haven't seen the results you really deserve from your labor, maybe it is the wrong business setup you are chasing?
Maybe YOU are smart, but your chosen business model isn't that great, so you work harder than you needed to, and wonder why you cannot achieve bigger profits faster?
What IS a Smart Business?
First of all, a SMART BUSINESS is one that actually works. Success that is almost automatically guaranteed is in your hands, when you have chosen a business model that consists of the RIGHT ingredients, and that would be when it meets the following crucial aspects, ideally ALL of them:
- A Tested, and Proven To Deliver Profits Track Record
- High Converting Offers, and Capture Pages
- A High In Demand, Solid Product
- Ideally a Monthly Membership (Residual Passive Income)
- Ideally Has a Product Series Portfolio, so You Earn Future Sales From Your Buyers List (Leveraged Customer Life Time Value From Your One Time Effort)
- Ideally Not Have To Mess Around With Setting Up The System, Copywriting, and Webdesign
- Need Not Worry About Product Delivery, Payment Processing, or Providing a Support Desk
- Where You Ideally Build Your Own List, Even Though You Are 'Just' An Affilaite
- Even Better If You Can Acquire Re-Sell Rights, and Sell Products You Didn't Have To Create Yourself For 100% Profits
- A Business That Can Grow, and Is Letting You Expand On It In Any Further Business Direction You Choose
- A Business That Transports a Strong, Ethical, Compelling Vision
- Something You Know That Works, Because Certainty Is Crucial For Your Success Mindset
- Something You Can and Want To Identify With When You Put Your Name under it
- And finally – have ALL of This Aspects Given In ONE PLACE
When you have found all of this, you have THE business model for guaranteed success!
Of course, like Tony Robbins says, you still have to be the one who actually works the plan. But it is easy to work a plan, that is already in place! You do not need to re-invent the wheel, when a system is already in place, and working. All you need to do is to work the system.
A business with all of the crucial ingredients flat out WORKS. The question is only, if you will have made the right choice in life to work smarter, not harder, and decide, if you want to plug yourself into a fantastic business model that finally WORKS IN YOUR FAVOR.
After all the countless unreliable and short life span pie in the sky internet marketing products we've all witnessed during the last years, with lots of hype, but low value, that hardly anyone ever talks about 6 months after launch, what you have found HERE right now is solid, proven, tested, and actually continuously massively growing, because it is high in demand, increasing in popularity, solid, and there are only signs that it is going to be so even bigger, and stronger this coming year!
When you've seen what is inside, you will understand why this system is so strong, so popular, ans so massively growing.
You will see the details about it, and begin to understand what is the secret power behind it, that thousands of internet marketers and even offline entrepreneurs who joined, have already hugely benefited from.
Enough theory – Please learn in all detail, what I am talking about here,
and why I am so confident, committed, motivated,
and positively excited about

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Most people are motivated more by the work they do and the environment in which they work than by the money they earn. Therefore, the compensation and reward systems you offer to employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas.
A growing economy constantly creates new job opportunities in new sectors, but also displaces and even destroys existing jobs. The workforce in an entrepreneurial economy must always evolve as well. Government efforts to protect jobs are often misguided, hindering growth and new job creation. Pro-growth workforce rules should instead focus on developing worker skills, allowing maximum hiring and layoff flexibility, and focus adjustment efforts on getting displaced workers into new jobs as soon as possible. Small firms employ half of all private sector employees and create 60-80 percent of net new jobs in the U.S., according to the SBA. Labor rules are one of the largest barriers to entrepreneurial ventures. The World Bank's cross-country comparison of labor regulations shows lower job creation where workplace rules are more rigid. Labor rules must move beyond the early 20th century framework of management versus labor and encourage new firm formation as well as a dynamic, not static, worker.
For aspiring and active entrepreneurs, financing growth isn't always a matter of taking readily available funding. In this article, Jeff Gordon, who founded two companies in the decade since graduating from college, says the entrepreneur really seeks the best "engine" for fueling growth, which isn't necessarily money. He offers tips for choosing from an array of monetary and nonmonetary options.
Founder Bob Beyster describes his highly successful approach to recruiting, retaining, and rewarding top performers--a culture of employee ownership. This is a core strategy for growing SAIC, an entrepreneurial, employee-owned, high-technology corporation.
Entrepreneurs should cultivate relationships with outsiders who can offer support and advice, even though "mentoring," as it's often called, is typically considered an instrument of corporate career-building. In this insightful article by an entrepreneur who founded a non-profit organization to pair owners of young companies with seasoned business owners, the author advises entrepreneurs to seek help from peers as well as superiors and from several outsiders rather than a single guru.
As the cost of new technologies plummets, even small manufacturers can turn.
Venture capitalists play a critical funding role, as entrepreneurial ventures move into the big leagues, but the price these investors extract is often too high. Entrepreneurs should consider the relationship analogous to marrying a mail-order bride and proceed accordingly, according to this comprehensive and entertaining article by two women who co-founded a software company. Tips include advising company owners to build trust with VCs and, until that is established, dealing with them in a way that allows for "a reasonable balance of power."
Venture capitalists aren't the vultures they're said to be. They're just investors, and the key to dealing with investors is having a relationship, according to this witty exchange between the author and her construct, the Everyman-entrepreneur, who discuss financing at a typical gathering for entrepreneurs.
Building a company means creating an "entrepreneurial corporate culture," according to this article by a big-company supervisor turned entrepreneur. The best "entrepreneurial" cultures borrow worthy tactics from the Fortune 500, while discarding those that constrain productivity, says the author. Included are tips for what to take and what to leave behind.
Doing business in the rough-and-tumble arena of underdeveloped countries involves adhering to global business basics, such as researching markets thoroughly, while coping with surprises, writes a veteran international entrepreneur who first took his company overseas three decades ago. In entering the "emerging markets," entrepreneurs need to keep close tabs on how (and if) they will be paid, as well as on local managers overly eager to make sales.

This elite team of neurosurgical specialists envisioned a medical facility that would bring multiple disciplines together to provide comprehensive and integrated treatment options for patients with neurological disorders. According to Shahin Etebar, MD, the vision has become a reality. "There is no other Center like this in the Coachella Valley," Dr. Etebar shares. "We are providing comprehensive services for patients who have a neurological disorder. From brain tumors to back pain, to stroke and Parkinson's disease, the Institute can help treat them all. This is a model clinic."
Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute — which uses a team approach to treat neurological disorders — offers a full range of programs including neurological surgery (performing both brain and spine surgery), neurology, neurointerventional radiology, neurotology, neuro-critical care, radiosurgery, pain management, the Philip and Carol Traub Parkinson's Center, the Memory Assessment Center, rehabilitation, research and education, and a stroke center. Eisenhower has also dedicated 70 patient beds on the second floor of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Pavilion (currently under construction) to the care of neurosurgery and neurological disorder patients, including a 12-bed Intensive Care Unit.
The Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute couldn't be timelier or more needed says Louise White, Vice President, Patient Care Services, and Chief Nursing Officer. "It is rare that a community medical center can claim the surgical and neurological expertise that our physicians offer," explains White. "We always had the various components of neuroscience, but until now, it hadn't all been pulled together into one Center of Excellence. We are excited to offer a truly innovative and integrated team-oriented patient care approach."

Snugg Pro makes educating the homeowner and closing the sale easier than ever before with an intuitive interface, simple data entry, easy photo editing, beautiful homeowner reports, and intelligent templating.
Energy Auditing & Sales Tool, home energy assessments, energy analysis, home performance, residential retrofits
Snugg Pro creates highly accurate energy savings calculations based on the energy analysis engine from OptiMiser which is BESTEST and RESNET accredited, and fully compliant with the Building Performance Institute's 2400 standard.
Expertise Required
BPI certification is recommended but not required.
Through Xcel Energy's Home Energy Audit Program in Colorado, over 100 contractors have performed over 5,000 energy audits with the software. And now with the national release, Snugg Pro has contractors in 23 states using the product.
Residential contractors, home energy auditors, home performance contractors, and energy efficiency programs.
Zip codes and utility data are needed for the most accurate energy modeling, however, an auditor or contractor can also use the tool for customized or simple energy upgrade recommendations. The input screen has 20 topics to choose from for home data consisting of simple fill-in forms &/or drop-down selection forms. Input tool-tips are integrated for each so the user knows exactly what is being asked. The cloud based software allows in-the-field entry and is assessable with any internet connected PC, MAC, or iPad.
The Snugg Pro customized homeowner reports are available in pdf format. Users can choose which pages of the report they want to generate, personalized with company logo and contact info, as well as program information, program logo, and rebates if applicable. The user also chooses which standard or customized recommendations to include on the report and allows for comments, concerns, photos, and photo captions. Technical specifications, Health & Safety, and Glossary of Terms are also optional to include in the report.
Computer Platform
Cloud based. Works with the free Google Chrome web browser on Mac & Windows. iPad version runs on mobile Safari.
Programming Language
HTML 5 / Backbone.js for client side and Node.js for server side
The tool is simple enough for a "lightly" trained contractor to perform a quick energy assessment or "clipboard audit" with good estimates of energy savings and minimal inputs. However, it is powerful enough for a BPI-certified professional to perform a comprehensive energy audit with thermal imaging and blower door testing for highly accurate energy savings predictions.
Although Snugg Pro can be used for the multi-family sector, it is restricted to units that are individually metered for both heating and cooling.

Linda Heavner Gerald had a picture in her mind she could not shake.
The Port St. Joe resident had a recurring vision of a woman, walking down a street among older houses in Beaufort, South Carolina. There was a man on a balcony waving to her … and the vision in Gerald's head was gone.
Only to reappear again and again.
So, the retired nurse decided to sit down and map out the details surrounding her vision and that became her first published book, "Beaufort Betrayal."
That was roughly 18 months ago and since then Gerald has found a calling cranking out two more mysteries and a children's book, all published and being sold throughout the world, Gerald said.
"I am the most unlikely person to write a book," Gerald said with a laugh last week. "I feel my faith just set me up for this at this time.
"And here I am; I have my next book in my mind. I have had four books in a year and they are doing well. It is really amazing, this whole thing."
Gerald has been published by Public America. The company assumes all expenses, pays no upfront costs and makes their books available to all booksellers. Gerald is among featured authors on Amazon.com.
The publishing company, Gerald said, serves a launching pad for authors and is excellent at marketing its authors and their works.
Gerald said that once she sat down with pen and pad – a traditionalist, she also types with a typewriter – the words, the sentences seem to take care of themselves.
She does not plot or outline her books before beginning the task of writing, she said.
The books, and the plots, just spill out, she said.
"I feel like I am vessel in this," Gerald said. "I have so many books in my mind, it is difficult sorting them out.
"I am going to write what I feel. I feel like I work by divine intervention. The book just writes itself. It is different at the end that it was at the beginning. I love it. I sit and do it."
Gerald said she writes pretty much every day, "almost non-stop" until the current work she is slaving over is finished.
Gerald has had such periods of artistic inspiration before.
While living in the Bahamas she took up painting, though she knew little about brushwork or canvas before picking up a brush and paint.
"Painting was the same thing as the writing," Gerald said. "I started painting and it was day and night; I must have painted 200 paintings and some those paintings sold well," Gerald said.
A stint as president of the Friends of the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park provided added spark.
"That gave me a little confidence, getting out and meeting people and being part of that organization," Gerald said. "That really helped."
So, with four books behind her, including a mystery set in Rosemary Beach in Walton County, Gerald is moving on the next tome – which will surely come as easy as the first four.
"Everything that has happened has been good," Gerald said.
And then she was off, to her home and her pen and pad.
Linda Heavner Gerald will have two upcoming book signings. The first will be 1-3 p.m. ET Saturday, March 16 at Downtown Books in Apalachicola; the second will be 1-3 p.m. ET March 30 at No Name Books on Reid Avenue in Port St. Joe.

Has anyone read any of his books? He hasn't written many, but Gil's All Fright Diner, In the Company of Ogres, and The Nameless Witch are all really good. I might have to stop being stingey & buy his last one, Too Many Curses, before the new one comes out.
They're hard to describe - vampires, werewolves & zombies, yes... seemingly light reads, but they're actually quite "grown up" definitely worth looking at.

Midwest Living Review
The Schoolhouse Shop may have started as a two-room schoolhouse on a sand dune, but today, it is a great shopping destination -- a collection of stores within a store. From the entrance, we found the Seasonal Room filled with shiny Christmas ornaments and decorations. There are several rooms filled with gifts, such as pottery, hand-dipped candles and hand-blown glass, starting at $5. The Furnessville Gallery and Card room is a tribute to local subjects and artists, and you can spend as little at $2 on a greeting card to $2,000-plus on original art. Climb three steps to the Tree House Toy Room, watched over by a life-size stuffed Elmos ($195) surrounded by colorful books, stuffed animals and the kind of toys that don't require batteries. You'll also find Dunes Clothiers, filled with affordable fashion for men and women, from jeans to dressy wear as well as jewelry and bags. We found names like Pendleton alongside newcomers like Dream Sacks (bamboo clothing) and Coussard (gauze and cotton). The Magic Pantry offers goodies for foodies, including homemade salsa, vinegar and pesto, plus chefs' tools and textiles. We found sparkling stemware, tasty teas and the coolest hand-painted drink tureens -- perfect for tailgating ($144). Downstairs, Lake Effect Florals makes arrangements for delivery and baskets and bundles for cash and carry. Shoppers will find a small selection of antiques, including primitive wooden dippers ($28) and ornate cathedral candlesticks ($168). Enjoy a patio plate lunch outdoors during the summer, and catch the juried art fair the third weekend of September. The Schoolhouse Shop is open daily except Tuesdays.

The Design Toscano medieval décor collection is large and varied, so of course it has something for everyone and is well worth browsing. The greenmen collection is unusual and intriguing at all times from their fine furniture to the faces in the trees. One tree face that is a lot of fun is the Poison Oak Greenman Tree Sculpture. This exclusive by artist Liam Manchester fits right on your tree. He stares out with a frightening grin on his face that is over a foot tall. He is all gnarly and twisted and a great conversation piece. Get him now during our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th.
Delving further into our medieval collection, you will find castle walls, dragons, gargoyles and naturally knight statues and other knightly objects. For those of you who are fans of the Arthurian tales we have the exquisite King Arthur's Golden Chalice Gothic Sculpture which is depicted in extraordinary detail out of designer resin. The cup is painted with a metallic gold tone and while it is not for use as a cup, it is an unusual display piece. You can get one or a set of two maybe at the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th.
Our marble busts for sale section of course has items that are already on sale and yet you might get a further bargain on one of those pieces at our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th. One piece that you will want to have in your recreation room or family room is The Lion & Rose Marble-Topped English Bar Pub. This comfortably sized replica of an Edwardian style bar has a cushioned rest for your arm and seven panels of mahogany wood finish. The storage has double doors with two shelves and stemware racks.

Maryport Roman centre plans hit by cash shortfall
Last updated at 20:24, Thursday, 19 April 2012
A scheme to build a multi-million-pound Roman visitor centre in Maryport has stalled because of a funding shortfall of more than £1million.
Hadrian's Wall Heritage wants to create the Roman Maryport centre at Camp Farm, which would house the Senhouse Roman Museum exhibits, a cafe and other facilities. It would also be the base for an ongoing excavation project.
But the £6.2million first stage of work has been delayed because the organisation behind it, which recently changed from a limited company to a charity, has not yet secured £1.1million of match funding to secure £5.1million pledged by the European Regional Development Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It is the second major setback for the project, which was initially planned as an £11million scheme, until the Government scrapped the Northwest Regional Development Agency, a planned major funder.
The charity still wants to deliver the £11million scheme eventually, and the £6.2million reduced scheme will be the first phase.
It is intended to be a visitor attraction in its own right, bringing in 35,000 people a year and creating the equivalent of 10 full-time direct jobs and 34 full-time jobs.
Michael Baker, project manager, said the two main funders had extended the charity's deadline for securing match funding to June 8. By then, he said, two funding applications will have been submitted.
He added: "I can't predict the outcomes of the applications but if they were both approved we would have the funding in place.
"The two existing funders have been extremely supportive and patient."
Mr Baker said that if the bids were denied, the project would have to go back to stage one and apply for funding from the European Regional Development Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund from scratch.
The current £5.1million funding offer has been agreed in principle, subject to match funding being secured.
If the £1.1million was found, the charity would still need to make detailed bids before the £5.1million funding was released. Whatever the outcome, the completion of phase one will be delayed until at least 2015. It had been expected to open in 2013.
Despite the problems, Mr Baker said he was confident the scheme was not in jeopardy.
He said: "We have been working very hard and a lot of work has been continuing.
"If we weren't successful by June 8 in securing the funding that we need we'll simply start again."
Mr Baker said the charity was continuing to operate as Hadrian's Wall Heritage until it officially relaunches as Hadrian's Wall Trust.
He added: "We are retaining our assets under the new name. Nothing has changed."
Mr Baker said the Senhouse Roman Museum's excavations would play an important part in the future of Camp Farm.
The first phase of excavations last year uncovered the foundations of a significant building.
Experts discovered that Maryport's collection of Roman altars, previously thought to have been buried to preserve them, had actually been used as building material in the foundations.

Night View of the Matsuchiyama and Sam'ya Canal (Matsuchiyama San'yabori Yakei), No. 34 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
While some perceive this scene as sinister and strange, others see it as suggestive and romantic. In the dark background, at the foot of the hill Matsuchiyama and flanking the San'ya Canal and the pillars of the Imado Bridge, are the alluring lights of two restaurants. Stars glitter in the sky above and are reflected in the water below. In the foreground, a geisha follows the bright lantern of her attendant along the embankment. Hers is one of the few full portraits in the series. Perhaps returning from a banquet at one of the restaurants, she is an intriguing figure against the sultry backdrop.
- Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando), Japanese, 1797-1858
- Medium: Woodblock print
- Place Made: Japan
- Dates: 8th month of 1857

- Catalogue Description: One of the few full portraits of a geisha in this series. She follows the lantern of her attendant along the embankment of the Sumida River. The water reflects the stars and the sky. The San'ya Canal is the small inlet to the right, its entrance seen by the pillars of the Imado Bridge. On both sides of the bridge are two restaurants; on the right the Yumeiro (founded one year earlier) and the Takeya to the left. Small boats pass by the lights of the restaurants. The dark hill in the center, the "Matsuchiyama" has sexual connotations, having as the main object of worship in the Shoten shrine at its summit an Indian god in an entwined conjugal embrace. According to legend, the geisha shown here was a favorite of Hiroshige.

Good call Dr.The main event for UFC Fight Night on FOX December 14 has been verbally agreed to as UFC lightweight world champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis will defend his title against number-five ranked contender Josh "The Punk" Thomson.
Pettis recently reclaimed the belt from Benson Henderson, from whom he'd won the WEC lightweight title in 2010, via a first-round armbar that earned Submission of the Night honors. Thomson most recently earned a Knockout of the Night bonus for his highlight-reel finish of Nate Diaz. Neither Henderson nor Diaz had previously been stopped in their UFC careers.
Top-ranked TJ Grant, who'd been expected to challenge for the title at UFC 164 before being injured, tweeted an update on Monday night. "I am still not yet 100% and can't commit to fight," he wrote. "It sucks but it is the best for both myself and the UFC. Please don't worry. I'll be back."

Welcome to the Landscape Architecture Program
Landscape Architecture Program
1120 N Street, MS 28
Sacramento, CA 95814
Composed of a broad range of skilled professionals, the Landscape Architecture Program provides the expertise necessary to help implement Caltrans' mission of improving mobility across California. The scope of our work within Caltrans is extensive, including multi-modal transportation and facility design, visual impact assessments, aesthetics, mitigation, roadside management, resource conservation, regional planning, site planning and development, and sustainable design.
|Recently, while urging Congress to put politics aside and work on fixing the Highway Trust Fund so that it can continue to fund critical infrastructure projects – projects that put many professionals back to work, Barack Obama stated " investing in rebuilding our infrastructure -- that doesn't just put construction workers back to work, that puts engineers back to work, that puts landscape architects back to work, it puts folks who are manufacturing concrete or steel back to work. " Including Landscape Architects in the White House vocabulary is significant. It's not by chance that the President relates today's federal highway programs with landscape architects. It's due to DOT LAs over many years elevating the stature of our profession in which we continue to provide quality of life design and planning services.
|Congratulations to Kristen Langager and Katherine Brown in the District 5 Landscape Architecture Office who received their Transportation Landscape Architecture (TLA) Curriculum Certification for Landscape Associate Intermediate Proficiencies. Presenting the certificates in District 5 were the District Landscape Architect Dennis Reeves and Principal Landscape Architect Keith Robinson from the HQ Landscape Architecture Program. TLA Certification entails comprehensive career planning and successful completion of courses in seven core topic areas.
|Congratulations to District 6 Landscape Architecture Office's Gloria Ramirez and Rick Cole as winners of this year's 2014 Excellence in Transportation Awards Program, Stewardship of the Environment category for their project, the Philip S. Raine Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA). Gloria and Rick worked in partnership with others in their district, Corby Kilmer in District 5, HQ Division of Engineering Services, HQ LAP and others to develop the SRRA on SR 99 in District 6 north of Tipton.
|Caltrans HQ Landscape Architecture Program partnered with other Project Delivery functions and Maintenance and Operations, and Planning and Modal Programs to update Main Street, California - A Guide for Improving Community and Transportation Vitality.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mervelous O My this dress Lovely, so glad I took the plunge. I got the black, lenght is perfect(I'm 5'6'') it's not too snug, just right. I have hips and my bra size is 36D. I was worried about the armhole being too wide, but it's not! I can't wait for spring to wear this dress with boots and a cardigan...and for summer to wear with sandals and a cute bralette! :-) 2.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by blue9girl9 Gorgeous and soft I'm 5'9 and the length is perfect. I don't like maxi's that even touch the ground slightly and this does not. The fabric is super soft and this is just so pretty. I only wish they had had a small in stock as this is just a tad loose. I normally buy a small but wanted this so bad, I got the medium and am keeping it. My weight fluctuates anyway. 7.18.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by alissaann58 perfect everyday dress i love it. got it in a small, always a small in fp and it fits just as i expected, great. very flattering. 7.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by FranFran Huge... This dress looks huge on the model...because it is huge. I bought it after being seduced by the sale price. I am 5'6 32DD (36"), 26" waist and 36" hips...and I was drowning in this thing. especially huge in the waist and general torso area. Pretty sure I will be returning this tomorrow morning because I doubt the extra small would be small enough either. The color is also a lot less bright than pictured. Too bad, because it seems to be pretty good quality. 6.26.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by newlook lovely Love the dress, the fit the length, looks beautiful and hangs really well. The only downside i would say is that the colours in real life are not as vibrant as shown in the photo. 6.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by emilyvan Love this dress! Buy it! This is the perfect maxi dress! I just received it and already wore it once. I got so many compliments. It fits perfect (I am 5'5" and 110--got an xs) and it makes you look really slender and tall. Maxi dresses are so hard to find for people my height, but this one is so pretty and perfect. 6.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Vie Lovely casual dress Wonderful spring-summer dress, perfect length with flats without needing to hem (at 5'7"). Very comfortable and easy to wear. The back detail adds a touch of elegance. 2.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by skylarquinn Nice everyday dress This dress was very flattering on me. I've gained some weight lately and it hid any flaws I have and extenuated the positives. It's made of a sturdy material and for once I didn't need to wear a slip under it! I say buy it! 2.13.2013

Macbeth is introduced in the play as a warrior hero, whose fame on the battlefield wins him great honor from the king. Essentially, though, he is a human being whose private ambitions are made clear to the audience through his asides and soliloquies (solo speeches). These often conflict with the opinion others have of him, which he describes as "golden" (I:7, 33). Despite his fearless character in battle, Macbeth is concerned by the prophecies of the Witches, and his thoughts remain confused, both before, during, and after his murder of King Duncan. When Duncan announces that he intends the kingdom to pass to his son Malcolm, Macbeth appears frustrated. When he is about to commit the murder, he undergoes terrible pangs of conscience. Macbeth is at his most human and sympathetic when his manliness is mocked and demeaned by his wife (see in particular Act I, Scene 7).
However, by Act III, Scene 2, Macbeth has resolved himself into a far more stereotypical villain and asserts his manliness over that of his wife. His ambition now begins to spur him toward further terrible deeds, and he starts to disregard and even to challenge Fate and Fortune. Each successive murder reduces his human characteristics still further, until he appears to be the more dominant partner in the marriage. Nevertheless, the new-found resolve, which causes Macbeth to "wade" onward into his self-created river of blood (Act III, Scene 4), is persistently alarmed by supernatural events. The appearance of Banquo's ghost, in particular, causes him to swing from one state of mind to another until he is no longer sure of what is and "what is not" (I:3,142).
But Macbeth's hubris or excessive pride is now his dominant character trait. This feature of his personality is well presented in Act IV, Scene 1, when he revisits the Witches of his own accord. His boldness and impression of personal invincibility mark him out for a tragic fall.

Balvenie lies in the Convals in Dufftown. The distillery was built by William Grant just below Glenfiddich in 1892, sharing its water source, the Robbie Dhu springs, with its illustrious neighbour. Despite also having the same distiller, Balvenie is hugely different in character. It is one of the few Scotch distilleries to boast in-house floor maltings, utlilising locally hand-cut peat. The floor maltings at Balvenie also supply neighbouring Glenfiddich. Over the last few years, Balvenie has become the ninth bestselling single malt and demand is growing. Since being first built, Balvenie has been continually under the ownership of William Grant & Sons, proprietors also of the two neighbouring Speyside distilleries Glenfiddich and Kininvie. An award-winning distillery, two bottlings from the core range, 'PortWood 21 Year-Old' and 'DoubleWood' took gold medals at the 1998 International Spirits Challenge and at the 1997 International Wine and Spirit Competition respectively.

If You Care Parchment Baking Paper 70 sq. ft. -- 1 Box
Oops! Something went wrong and we were unable to process your request. Please try again.
When using IF YOU CARE® Parchment Paper and Baking Paper no greasing is necessary. The paper has been coated with silicone – a non-organic natural product – on both sides. Many parchment papers are coated with quilon. Quilon is a chemical containing chrome – a heavy metal – which when incinerated becomes toxic and leaves trace elements. The reason for the majority of parchment paper to be quilon-coated is the cost, which is substantially lower than silicone. So, in order to be environmentally friendly, the paper should be silicone-coated.
A silicone-coated paper is also the choice of professionals as it can be reused several times.
If You Care 100% Unbleached Parchment Baking Paper is made from premium quality, unbleached, greaseproof paper. As no chlorine is used for Bleaching, no chlorine is dumped into our lakes, rivers, and streams.
What is Silicone? -- This Parchment Baking Paper is coated with Silicone, which is derived from Silicon, an element found in nature, in sand, quartz, and rock. After oxygen, it is the most abundant element on earth. Silicone is non-toxic when incinerated and landfull safe. It is the most environmentally friendly non-stick surface. It is also the most effective non-stick surface.
What is Quilon? -- If You Care 100% Unbleached Parchment Bakin Paper is perfect for baking and cooking. No greasing is necessary so additional fat and calories are spared and time is saved. This paper does not affect the taste of baked goods. It is microwave safe. It is oven proof up to 450 deg F/240 deg C. roll is sufficient for 50-70 sheets. Sheets can be reused.

The double buckle is a little tedious to get into (someone remind me not to wear these to the airport through TSA security again!), but they were completely comfortable from the first wear - no rubbing, no tightness, no discomfort at all. I would love a little bit more arch support to make them a bit more friendly for a lot of walking, but I have to work at finding any fault with these. I got the brown and have worn them with jeans and shorts already but will no doubt wear them with skirts and dresses as well. LOVE. 3.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Theozralian Lovely, supple, delicious! These are just amazing. The leather is so soft and comfortable. I love the fit, they are perfect. Hardly feel like I'm wearing anything on my foot due to the soft leather. Quality of make is great, well worth the bucks! I got the brown and the colors are true to pictures. Only negative is they do take a moment or three to wrangle on, if you aren't patient and nimble steer clear. If you re, buy you will not regret. These will be a favorite go to for sure.. 1.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ofraser Great The quality was excellent, especially for the sale price! The brown version's colours are beautiful. I am so happy with them. I would suggest going up a size if you are normally in the middle. Definitely go for it, they are great!! 12.31.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by sugarsugar Fabulous casual sandal but slightly unfinished I love these, but why is this and the Pandora sandals' leather (both by the same designer) not finished properly? I've never seen this before in shoes. The leather is just 'cut', not sealed in anyway so it just looks irregular. When you look at the Picture 1 & 5 in zoom, you will understand what I mean. This isn't as bad as the Pandora white sandals that I received which compared to this pair looks really unfinished. I will keep these and return the Pandora which I've not worn yet. True to size. 10.20.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by AshLynn I am so sad.. I really wanted to love these. As soon as I took them out of the packaging I was ecstatic! The colors were true to size. (I purchased the Cobalt and Brown.) However, when I put them on my foot, they rubbed against my ankle so bad! I tried loosing them, and tightening them. I wanted to cry because these were so beautiful! My boyfriend even tried to adjust it in every which way possible. If you can maneuver these beautiful sandals so they don't rub on your ankle, I would HIGHLY recommend them! I am so sad I will have to return these! =( 3.30.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by nee_lha This is not leather I dont know if I have missed the reviews, but no one ever mentioned that this sandals arent leather. I have just received my order today, and to my disappointment the labels on the sole all show diamond symbol, which meant none of the part is leather. And i'm very surprised that I still need to pay for the shipping fee back while it's clearly not my fault, but misleading/wrong product description. It's not about the money, as $6 is nothing, but i have never experienced such low level of customer service ever from any other online shops. I'm glad that i didnt pay full price for this non-leather piece, but i did order 2 colors. Very very disappointed FP!! 10.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tooey best summer sandal I love this sandal. I wear a 9.5 90% of the time; I sized down to the 9 on this and it fits perfectly. 12.24.2013

If you're out of the habit of swimming, start slow and ease back into it. Set a goal of five or ten laps, executed slowly and deliberately. You may increase the number of laps each week. If your strokes feel awkward, consider taking a swimming class. A little instruction never hurts and often maximizes your workout. It also helps prevent injury. IDEAS A kick board provides another way to get your exercise with an emphasis on moving your legs. Try wearing goggles and even earplugs. Always wear sunscreen and keep tanning time to a minimum. Consider a small cooler with iced water and fresh fruit at poolside.
Exercise in general, and especially swimming, is a great tonic for a good night's sleep. So enjoy the water, get fit and feel wonderful.
Eisenhower Medical Center's pool is 89 degrees and is kept clean through an advanced non-chlorine system.

Google added a new feature to the dictionary OneBox: audio pronunciation. This feature was available if you clicked "More" to read all the definitions, but now it's more accessible.
Google uses Flash to play the audio file, so the feature doesn't work if you disable Flash. It's interesting that Google shows the audio icon if you use an iPad, even though the device doesn't let you install the Flash plugin. The HTML5 audio tag is a better option for iOS devices and for the browsers that support it.

Thoughts today, Memories forever.
Sadly missed, Lovingly remembered.
Loved always, Sadly missed.
Love's greatest gift is remembrance.
Though absent you are very near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
As you were you will always be, Treasured forever in our memory.
Your beauty is missed in every way. Forever in our hearts.
Sweet are the memories, silently kept, Of one we loved dearly and never forget.
There's a face that is always with us, There's a voice that we long to hear, There's a smile we always remember, Of the one we loved so dear.
Beautiful thoughts of one so dear, Treasured forever with love sincere.
Her/his life was full of kindly deeds, A helping hand to all in need, Sincere and true in heart and mind, A memory sweet she/he left behind.
Time changes many things, But not the memory this day brings.
We've been lonely since you left us, Home has never been the same, The entire world would be like heaven, Just to have you back again.
Not just today but every day, In silence we remember.
It does not need this special day, To bring you to our minds, For days without a thought of you, Are very hard to find.
Silent thoughts tears unseen, Keep your memory ever Green.
I hear your voice in silent hours, When the house is quiet and still, I feel the touch of your unseen hand, Guiding and helping me still.
Not gone from his daddy's memory, Not gone from his mother's love, But gone to dwell with Jesus, In His happy home above.
Through life I loved you dearly, In death I do the same, From memory's page I will never blot, Three little words forget me not.
To be with you in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish today.
Looking back with tenderness, Along the path you trod, We bless the years we had with you, And leave the rest to God.
Within our home when all was bright, God took from us a shining light, We miss that light and always will, His/Her vacant place no one can fill.
We often think of bygone days, When we were all together, The family chain is broken now, But memories live for ever.
A beautiful life came to an end, He/she died as he/she lived everyone's friend, Always so true unselfish and kind, Few in this world his/her equal to find, So loved so mourned.
I miss you most when I need a friend, On you I always could depend, Kind and unselfish a mother/father so true, My dearest possession is the memory of you.
Though years have passed oh how we miss them, Loving them dearly their memory we'll keep, Never till life ends shall we forget them, Sacred to us is the place where they sleep.
Sweet is the memory deep in my/our heart/s, The place it holds will never depart, And all through the years be they many or few, Will be years of remembrance dear mother/father of you.
Sad and sudden was his/her call, His/her sudden death surprised us all, To a beautiful life came a sudden end, He/she died as he/her lived everyone's friend, He/her had a nature you could not help loving, A heart far purer than Gold, Upright and just in all his ways, Loving and kind to the end of his/her days.
One year today we had to part, With a mother/father we loved with all our hearts, Her/his trials were many her/his pleasures few, God alone know what she/he went through, Remembrance is sweet but sad to recall, She /he was loved by us and respected by all.
Her/his weary hours and days of pain, Her /his sleepless nights are past, Her/his ever patient worn out frame, Has found sweet rest at last, Calm and peaceful she/he is sleeping, Sweetest rest that follows pain, We who loved her/him only know, How much we last one year ago.
Gone from among us how we miss her/him, Not till life ends shall we ever forget her/him, Loving her/him dearly her/his memory we'll keep, Sacred to us is the place where she/he sleeps, Sweet are the memories that never fade, Of one we loved dearly but could not save.
Looking back with tenderness, Along the path you trod, We bless the years we had with you, And leave the rest to God.
There's a bridge of golden memories, From here to Heaven above, It keeps you very close to us, It's called the bridge of Love.
I've lost my sole companion, A life linked with my own. No-one knows how I miss you, As I travel this life alone.
Gone are the days we used to share, But in my heart you are always there.
There are no tomorrows for us to share, But yesterday's memories will always be there.
Our thoughts are always with you, Your place no-one can fill, In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, Your place of rest we visit, Your flowers we place with care, But no-one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave you there.
There's a path of golden memories, That leads to Heaven above, It keeps you really close to us, It's called the path of love, Look after him/her Lord, In your garden of rest, Heaven must be beautiful, You only take the best...
You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend, You fought for life with courage, Until the very end, Memories are a gift to treasure, Ours of you will last forever.
Deep in our hearts you will always stay, Loved and remembered every day.
We seldom ask for miracles but today just one would do, to leave the door wide open and see you walking through. We'd wrap our arms around you and kiss your smiling face, for you were someone special who could never be replaced.
Loving you is easy we do it every day, missing you is a heartache that never goes away.
Your presence we miss, your memory we treasure, loving you always, forgetting you never.
We can't have old days back when we were all together, but secret tears and loving thoughts will be with us forever.
A smile can hide the sadness, a tear can be wiped away, but the heartache of losing you will never go away.
Those memories of you are special, they last from day to day, they don't get lost, can't wear out and can't be taken away.

There is a lot of attention to Roddy Piper not being #1 on the list. But...he is #2...ALL TIME! And he is #2 behind the greatest most popular superstar (arguably) in WWE history, Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's pretty good. Would I put Piper as #1 all time...hell yeah. But, I'm not sure it warrants severe complaining that he is #2 behind Austin.
Paul Heyman and Bobby Heenan are way
This is my first blog so I'm a little nervous. I have been watching wrestling for about 26 years. I just love it...and this time of year is our elite time when the stars are supposed to align and give us the best show of the year.
There is a lot of talk going around about the rumored Triple H - Undertaker III match at Wrestlemania 28. Some people want to see it...some people don't.

With some 550 organic and biodynamic certified producers from all over the world, it is the largest professional event dedicated solely to organic wines. Coming to the event with very different experiences of the world of organic wine, Remy and Amy confront their respective visions of these « green » wines.


text: Has anyone else played this yet? Its from telltale games (the ones that made the walking dead games). I don't even know much about the fables comics its based on, I just took and chance and bought it because I really liked The Walking Dead games, and I am glad I did. The first episode was excellent! Great story, setting, characters, and voice acting. Can't wait for more episodes

Bill would end exit exam as a must for graduation
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina may drop its three-decade-old requirement that high school students pass an exit exam to graduate.
Legislation that would the mandate has widespread support from parents, educators and legislators of both parties. They say a single test should not determine a student's future.
Advocates for children with disabilities say the test can be the lone hindrance for students who can otherwise earn the 24 credits needed to earn a diploma.
The bill would still require students to take the exam because it is used for state and federal accountability laws. But the idea is to eventually replace it with tests relevant to students' pursuits beyond high school. The measure would create a study group to explore the options.
Neighboring states have already deleted their exit exam requirements.

The comment has been submitted for review. Thank you .

That an "exit" exam could prevent a student that has earned the required number of credits for a high school dipoma is RIDICULOUS. I understand the concept of state testing to evaluate SC's curriculum and placement with that of the other 49 states; however, this backward, 20th century mindset does nothing but reiterate the backward stance that is associated with our state.....REPEAL IT!!!!!!!!!118743791

I downloaded, patched, rebooted and tried again. No luck. I then found out that this wouldn't work on SP2 or SP3. So, I went back and found: SP3 UxTheme Patcher 1.3. I downloaded, patched, and rebooted that and tried yet again. No luck. I opened the SP3 Patcher back up to restore and that worked fine. But when I opened the first Patcher, the option was not available after opening it (there's only Patch or Cancel).
Now, I'm stuck on Windows Classic Theme and can't get back to Windows XP Theme or any other without getting an error: "The visual styles could not load because the file failed to load. Details: "
I read that having more than one uxtheme.dll could cause errors. I read that you should ONLY have one in your system32 folder. So I searched and found one in a $NtServicePackUninstall$ (blue text) and one in ServicePackFiles/i386. These two are the same 214kb size while the one in my system32 folder is 199kb (if that makes any difference; probably, but I wouldn't know).
I've already tried system restore and that did nothing. I searched for any type of virus/malware/spyware/etc and found nothing. I fixed my registry with a software and when I rebooted I still had the problem. I also had downloaded this "XP_Theme_Fix" and put that in my registry prior to all the scanning and repairing and that did nothing.
I still have Luna and Classic Theme and everything in my Resources>Theme folder. I just don't know what else I need to edit, install, or restore to to fix this... All of this nonsense over wanting a new look... really?
If you need more information, I can provide it. Just help me at least get back to XP Theme... THANKS!

My first grade teacher didn't do field trips like Susan Sto Height from Thief of Time, but she was a lot of fun. I would quite enjoy being in Susan's class.
I also read that Stephen King used to teach High School english for several years. (he did construction work for the school district during the summer becasue the pay was so lousy for the teachers. Re tiling the girls shower led to the inspiration for Carrie.)
Joanne Rowlilng used to teach ESL in Portugal.
Which writers do you think would make a fun teacher, which class would they teach, and which level do you think they would teach?
For example, George McDonald Frasier would be a great community college teacher of History and Politics. (I don't know what you call community colleges in Britan, but Tom Sharpe's Wilt taught at something similar.)
Of course, you can also share horror stories of folks who really didn't belong in the teaching profession. Or shock of those who spent a lot of time there. Like general Lee spent several years as Comendant of West Point and president of Washington college. (now Washington and Lee university) General Sherman was president of Luisiana State.

Productivity, Performance, and Progress: Germany in International Comparative Perspective
Bart van Ark, Ph.D.
Andreas Metz
Vlad Manole
Kirsten Jaeger
Publication Date:
August 2009
This study argues that the key to a successful and sustainable growth strategy for any time and place is to find the optimal balance between labour productivity growth and labour input growth. In other words, economies need to create more productive jobs that will lead to an improvement in average living standards. Productive jobs are also the primary mechanism by which the gains from productivity growth can be widely distributed across the economy—to consumers through lower prices and to workers as higher rewards. These same gains provide the resources for new investments and a sustainable growth path.

Pure Sensia internet, DAB and application radio
Pure is aiming for the October release of the Sensia to reinvent radio once again as the hub of home life. The wireless internet connection, music streaming and now the addition of applications take the company's devices one step closer.
Pure told Pocket-lint that although there has been no contact with the likes of Spotify, Pandora and last.fm on third party apps for when the SDK launches, they would certainly welcome them.
At the same time, the company feels quite happy to be without such providers as well, confident that Pure could produce its own content stream with a paid-for service in the same way.
The Sensia will RRP at £250 and is available complete with RF remote control in black, yellow, white and red.
