The Center for Skin was one of the earliest practices to offer Fraxel Laser Treatment, which is used for skin resurfacing; treatment of wrinkles around the eyes; and treatment of pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sunspots, and melasma. After Fraxel Laser Treatment, skin generally feels softer, looks smoother and tighter, and pores are usually smaller.
Fraxel improves your appearance by affecting only a fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser spots. Think of it as digital photo-editing software for your skin.
Fraxel Laser Treatment can be performed in our office using topical anesthesia. Treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area(s) being treated, and patients can generally resume routine activities right after treatment.
For optimal improvement, a series of three to five treatments spaced two to four weeks apart has been shown to be most effective. Results are both immediate and progressive, with noticeable, beneficial effects accumulating over one to three months.
If you are interested in learning more about the Fraxel treatment, please contact our office and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Thomas Gold (May 22, 1920 – June 22, 2004) was an Austrian born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who in the 1950s proposed the now mostly abandoned 'steady state' hypothesis of the universe. Gold's work crossed academic and scientific boundaries, into biophysics, astrophysics, space engineering, and geophysics.
Gold was born into a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria, he was educated at Zuoz College in Switzerland, and in the UK at Trinity College, Cambridge. At the start of World War II, he endured internment as an enemy alien, during which time he met Hermann Bondi. Once released, he worked with Bondi and Fred Hoyle (near Dunsfold in Surrey) on radar, a partnership that would extend into astrophysics. Together, the three upset existing dogma with their unorthodox theories on the nature of the cosmos. He later worked at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, in Herstmonceux, Sussex, England, and at Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In early 1959 he accepted an appointment at Cornell University, which had offered him the opportunity to set up an interdisciplinary unit for radiophysics and space research, and take charge of the Department of Astronomy. He remained at Cornell until his death.
He was married twice: to Merle Tuberg in 1947 and to Carvel Beyer in 1972. He had three daughters by his first wife and one by his second. He died at the age of 84.
Gold carried out research on cosmology and on magnetic fields, and coined the term 'magnetosphere' for the Earth's magnetic fields. Along with Bondi, he developed the steady-state theory. Soon after the discovery of pulsars in 1968, Gold and Fred Hoyle correctly identified these objects as rapidly rotating neutron stars with strong magnetic fields.
For a number of years, Gold promoted the idea that a thick layer of dust would cover many portions of the surface of the Moon. His opinion influenced the design of the American Surveyor lunar landing probes, but their precautions appeared excessive, as Gold had overestimated the extent to which cyclic thermal expansion and contraction would pulverize lunar surface rock. Regardless, he was prescient in proposing the general composition of the lunar regolith.
He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1985.
Gold achieved fame for his 1992 paper "The Deep Hot Biosphere" in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which presented a controversial view of the origin of coal, oil, and gas deposits, a theory of an abiogenic petroleum origin. The theory suggests coal and crude oil deposits have their origins in natural gas flows which feed bacteria living at extreme depths under the surface of the Earth; in other words, oil and coal are produced through tectonic forces, rather than from the decomposition of fossils. At the beginning of his 1992 paper Gold also referred to ocean vents that pump bacteria from the depth of the earth towards the ocean floor in support of his views. A number of new such hydrothermal vents have since been discovered, as recently as 2007.
Gold also published a book of the same title in 1999, which expanded on the arguments in his 1992 paper and included speculations on the origin of life. He has been accused of stealing the abiogenic theory outright from Soviet geologists who first published it in the 1950s Although he later credited Soviet research, it is claimed that he first published a paper on the abiogenic theory in 1979 without citing any of the Soviet literature on the subject Gold's defenders maintain that these charges are unfounded: they say that, after first formulating his views on petroleum in 1979, he began finding the papers by Soviet geologists and had them translated. He was both disappointed (that his ideas were not original) and delighted (because such independent formulation of these ideas added weight to the hypothesis). They insist that he always credited the Soviet work once he knew about it.
According to Gold and the Soviet geologists who originated the abiogenic theory, bacteria feeding on the oil accounts for the presence of biological debris in hydrocarbon fuels, obviating the need to resort to a biogenic theory for the origin of the latter. The flows of underground hydrocarbons may also explain oddities in the concentration of other mineral deposits.
Most western geologists and petrologists consider petroleum abiogenic theories implausible and believe the biogenic theory of 'fossil fuel' formation adequately explains all observed hydrocarbon deposits. Most geologists do recognize the geologic carbon cycle includes subducted carbon, which returns to the surface, with studies showing the carbon does rise in various ways. Gold and geology experts point out the biogenic theories do not explain phenomena such as helium in oil fields and oil fields associated with deep geologic features.
However, recent discoveries have shown that bacteria live at depths far greater than previously believed. Whilst this does not prove Gold's theory, it may lend support to its arguments. A thermal depolymerization process which converts animal waste to carbon fuels does show some processes can be done without bacterial action, but does not explain details of natural oil deposits such as magnetite production.
An article on abiogenic hydrocarbon production in the February 2008 issue of Science Magazine reported how the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in nature may occur in the presence of ultramafic rocks, water, and moderate amounts of heat.

Several years back I was lucky enough to head to Columbia for the Roots N Blues Festival with fellow KDHX photographer Nate Burrell.
The Twangfest day parties at South By Southwest, presented by KDHX, moved locations to the legendary Broken Spoke for the 2013 festivities, and although the stages were different, the good times rolled on.
There was a time when country music was the music of the common folks, telling their stories of broken hearts, hard times and redemption.
As the year comes to a close, KDHX is pleased to present some of our favorite live in-studio videos of 2011 -- and there were so many, we just couldn't narrow it to 10!
It certainly didn't feel like a Sunday evening as Dale Watson took the stage at Off Broadway last night for a KDHX benefit.
Dale Watson isn't just a country singer and songwriter. He's an evangelist. With a supple, booming baritone, he calls out across the deserts of contemporary country music and heralds a reckoning with a truer sound.

Assessment for Learning
Assessment for Learning is, all too often, seen as something 'extra' to do in a lesson... an 'add on'. This thinking, unfortunately, means that real Assessment for Learning is not taking place. In order for Assessment for Learning to be real, meaningful and worthwhile it is important to focus not so much on individual strategies - but on its basic principles.
Gold Star Education offers training and support in Assessment for Learning, focusing on these five main principles:
- Clarifying, sharing and understading Learning Intentions (Learning Objectives and Success Criteria);
- Engineering effective discussions, tasks and activities that elicit evidence of learning (Quality of Questioning);
- Providing Feedback that moves learning forward;
- Activating pupils as learning resources for one another (Peer Assessment);
- Activating pupils as owners of their own learning (Self Assessment).
In order for Assessment for Learning to make a real difference in pupils' learning, we provide engaging and imaginative ideas to help embed these five principles practically throughout various year groups, from Foundation Phase to Key Stage 4.
Assessment for Learning can be described as a three-stage journey:
- knowing where the pupils are in their learning;
- knowing where they need to get to;
- knowing how to get there.
It's the how to get there that is vital in ensuring that every pupil achieves what they are capable of.
With support from Gold Star Education, you can be confident that teachers in your school will be fully equipped to make these principles their own, delivering challenging and stimulating lessons that move every pupils forward in their learning.

For some businesses, using the internet to promote and market their services makes perfect sense. Any business that serves a large geographic area can use internet marketing to reach large areas for a lower budget than traditional media channels.
E-commerce retailers can only sell to people when they're online, so online advertising is sort of a no-brainer. But there are many small businesses that only sell locally and don't have any e-commerce components. Even if it's not readily obvious, internet marketing has just as much to offer these offline small businesses as it does to internet giants.
The greatest advantage of internet marketing is that it provides small business owners with a low-cost and effective way to get their name out to the public. Establishing a business and gaining initial customers is often the biggest challenge for small business owners.
Relying on old small business tactics like placing flyers on cars or employing people to hand out coupons or twirl signs can work; but these methods aren't cost efficient, have limited range, and for what it's worth environmentally unfriendly (think of how many flyers go directly in the trash). Internet marketing tactics can be used to accomplish the same outcome but with better results.
For example, instead of flyers, using that budget to promote the content that was advertised in the flyer would have a greater reach, more targeted so that the right people get the message, and dollar for dollar, far more cost effective. For small business owners trying to get the word out about a new business, $50 spent on social media marketing (promoted posts, advertisements, contests) would be far more effective than $50 spent on flyers. So without a penny being made directly from the internet itself, a brick and mortar store could see a large bump in their sales from online marketing.

Being in Laos, the pork and chicken is better value. They offer four grades of beef: local, imported, imported tenderloin and kobe beef imported from Japan. The steak tenderloin at 190,000 kip melts in your mouth and if you order the local steak at 50,000 kip, well, you get what you pay for.
Daily specials vary from chicken cordon bleu to tom yum soup to a traditional British roast dinner with all the trimmings every Sunday. Xayoh is also a pizzeria and offers free delivery for their pies.

SAN ANTONIO -- Tim Duncan had 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-92 win over the Houston Rockets Friday night at the AT&T center. San Antonio, fifth in the league in scoring, was hot from the floor all game, shooting 55 percent on 48 of 87 for the night. The Spurs had five players in double figures, led by Tony Parker with 17 points. Tiago Splitter added 15, Gary Neal, Manu Ginobili and Nando De Colo each had 12 as San Antonio moved to 16-4. They are the first team in the NBA with 16 wins. All 13 Spurs players scored in the game and San Antonio had a season-high 33 team assists. The Rockets offensively could not get in rhythm. Jeremy Lin's layup with 7:27 in the third period cut the lead to eight at 66-58. But San Antonio busted out on 19-2 run that pushed the lead up to 25 when Splitter made a reverse layup with 2:33. James Harden had 29 points on 10 of 16 shooting to lead the Rockets, but he did not score in the fourth quarter. Harde...

Boodberg came from a Baltic German family that had lived in Estonia for centuries. They traced their origins to 1006, to German emigrants from Mainz to Estonia in the thirteenth century. After Russia annexed Estonia in 1721, they became a prominent diplomatic and military family in Imperial Russia.
Boodberg was born in Vladivostok, where his father was commanding general of the Russian forces. At the outbreak of World War One, he was a cadet at a military school in St. Petersburg. In 1915, he and his brother were sent for safety to Harbin in Manchuria, where he began the study of philology. From there, he went to the Oriental Institute in Vladivostok and studied Chinese. In the summer of 1920, he left Russia and moved to San Francisco, where his family soon joined him; he enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley, getting a B.A. in Oriental Languages in 1924 and a Ph.D. in 1930. In 1932, Berkeley hired him as an Instructor in Oriental Languages; he became an Associate Professor in 1937, Chairman of the department in 1940, and Full Professor in 1948, winning Guggenheim Fellowships in 1938, 1956, and 1963, in the latter year becoming President of the American Oriental Society. He continued to teach until his death (of a heart attack) in 1972, influencing several generations of sinologists, notably Edward H. Schafer, who wrote a long obituary article in the Journal of the American Oriental Society that was followed by a full bibliography by Alvin P. Cohen.


text: Last lap; Roquelin to Vettel on the radio: Monaco, 1988, Senna. 10 June, 2013 442 Sebastian Vettel with race engineer Guillaume Roquelin on the podium in Montreal Red Bull pulled Sebastian Vettel back into line, as he was about to set the fastest lap of the race, with three simple words on the very last lap of the Canadian Grand Prix. The reigning world champion is famous for not only wanting to win races, but also secure the fastest lap of a grand prix. So, at the start of his final tour of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve en route to victory on Sunday, Vettel began his quest with the fastest – or 'purple' – first sector of the entire race. "I wasn't surprised," Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is quoted by Auto Motor und Sport, "but I told his race engineer to bring him under control." In the past, engineer Guillaume 'Rocky' Roquelin's instructions to Vettel about giving up the pointless quest for fastest laps have gone mostly unheeded. So 'Rocky' tried a different strategy in Canada. Three words: "Monaco, 1988, Senna". Ayrton Senna made a rare error to crash out of the race whilst holding a commanding lead during the 1988 Monaco GP Like many in Formula 1, Vettel knows well the tale of how legend Ayrton Senna threw away certain victory at Monaco 25 years ago when he lost focus and crashed. Vettel, duly backing off for a safer cruise to the chequered flag, replied to his engineer: "OK, OK – I'm just kidding." Perhaps the 25-year-old thought in that moment about the state of the world championship, where in his quest for an ultra-rare fourth consecutive drivers' title he stood to stretch his points lead to Fernando Alonso to 36 points. Ferrari's Alonso, however, said afterwards that he's not panicking yet. Asked what points deficit will make him worry, the Spaniard answered on Sunday: "I think (when) we are 80 or 85 points behind. "(That) will be a very critical situation, which is [a points gap of] more than three races." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

New corporate jacket for Rectorate
The Vaal Triangle Campus (NWU Vaal) Rectorate has undergone a corporate transformation and now not only reflects the unique identity of the campus but also the standing of the NWU Vaal Triangle within the North-West University.
The revamp of the Rectorate (which includes the Executive Boardroom and the offices of the Campus Rector and the Vice-Rector) was necessitated by the final phase of the roll-out of the University's brand strategy.
In accordance with the brand strategy of the University, the Vaal Triangle Campus is known as the "green" campus and one of the differentiating elements is without a doubt the unique environmental setting in which the campus function. This attribute together with the demographic setting of the campus within the industrial heartland of the country formed the artistic background for the project.
The project team, consisting of the Corporate Communication Department as well as the well-known interior designer – Norean Neumann, took to the challenge and transformed the Rectorate into a corporate space celebrating the unique attributes of the campus. Apart from a dash of paint and the application of a pictorial history of the University (in the form of printed wallpaper) canvasses portraying photographic images of the campus were also added.

Displacement was a recurrent feature of Thomas Stearns Eliot's life, from his birth on 26 September 1888 in St Louis, Missouri, to the April day in 1965 when the urn containing his ashes was deposited in the church of the Somerset village of East Coker, the place from which his ancestor Andrew Eliot had set out for New England in the late seventeenth century. The St Louis of his childhood was an increasingly grimy commercial city; but its frontier-town days were still alive in the memories of many inhabitants, and it was that town that the poet's grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, of Boston Brahmin descent and inspired by Unitarian zeal, had set out to civilize. The New England connection remained important to the Eliots, …

It's been said before that if you "Win on Sunday, you sell on Monday." From all-out race cars to RTR's, Team Losi vehicles have always pushed the envelope when it comes to design and innovation. The same race-inspired vehicles that top drivers race around the world provide the concepts for some of the most popular RTR vehicles as well. Keeping up their tradition of providing the best performing RTR's out there, Team Losi is once again combining a National Championship-winning vehicle, in this case the XXX-T, with one of the hottest new pieces of electronics to hit the market, a Novak Brushless system. This combination of performance and speed delivers a terrific one-two punch to the competition.
The Truck
The XXX-T platform has been a winner since its initial release. The basic platform remains unchanged, which is a good thing. Team Losi set the standard in the use of molded chassis and suspension components, and the XXX-T Brushless continues that tradition of excellence. All of the molded components have been well proven to meet the needs and demands of the beginning driver. These parts have been molded to be rigid enough to allow the suspension to do its job, yet not so rigid as to be brittle. Speaking of the suspension, the XXX-T Brushless features the same championship-winning suspension design and geometry as the original XXX-T. Team Losi's genuine hard-anodized aluminum shock bodies come as standard equipment on the XXX-T Brushless. These super-smooth shocks provide the truck with a plush ride over a variety of obstacles and give it a sure-footed feeling. All in all, the XXX-T Brushless has everything it needs under the body to be an awesome handling truck on the track or in the yard.
The Powerplant
The buzz about brushless technology really started with Novak Electronics. Sure, there were other systems available before the Novak System, but those were generally airplane-based motors that had been retrofitted for RC car use and were generally cost prohibitive. Novak Electronics broke through with a system that was both affordably priced and specifically designed for land-based RC cars and trucks. As time has progressed, Novak has made some tweaks and refinements to their brushless motors that appeal to a variety of different users. From racing to bashing, Novak Electronics has definitely established themselves as the leader in brushless motor technology. Their dedication to excellence and innovation made Novak Electronics the perfect partner for the XXX-T Brushless. When compared to a brushed motor, the performance of a vehicle is considerably improved with the use of a brushless motor. Brushless motors require significantly less maintenance than a brushed motor, providing extended runtimes at a higher speed. Additionally, brushed motors begin to degrade almost immediately from the first run due to brush wear, the hardening of the commutator from heat cycles, and the reduction of the magnetic field. There are many positive reasons to consider going brushless.
Both the motor and speed controller have been tailored specifically for the XXX-T platform. While it has similar characteristics to the standard Novak 4300 Brushless Motor (low maintenance, performance as good as or better than the best stock motor available, etc), there have been some minor enhancements made to the motor specifically for this application. The solder tabs have been redesigned from the original 4300. Gone is the PCB-style mounting system, replaced with a new tab system that provides a larger contact area for soldering to. If soldering isn't your thing, there's nothing to worry about; the speed controller and motor both feature bullet connectors preinstalled for you. If there ever comes a time where you need to remove the motor from the truck, you'll be able to in a snap. One other change to the 4300 that is included with the XXX-T Brushless is purely cosmetic: the motor's can has been anodized black.
The speed controller may look familiar to fans of the original Novak Super Sport ESC, but this speed controller has been designed specifically for the XXX-T Brushless. The software on the Super Sport 10.5 has been tweaked to make it as easy to use as possible for newcomers while still providing exceptional performance. While there were 6-drive profiles on the original unit, the software has been simplified and the two most common profiles have been loaded into the unit. The first profile provides you with proportional throttle response in both forward and reverse. To prevent damage to the drivetrain, Novak's proprietary Smart Braking II software allows you to nail the brakes without having reverse engage at an inopportune time. The second profile is designed with those who may end up at a race track with their truck in mind, as it is set up for forward-only operation with brakes. This simplified programming eliminates the need for newcomers to understand drive profile, drag brake, or other more advanced tuning options.
Completing the Package
When you combine the excellent handling characteristics of the XXX-T with the performance and ease of use of the Novak 4300 Brushless system, you have an excellent foundation. But without the right radio system the other items don't mean as much. On other RTR's, the included radio system is often the weakest link and doesn't live up to the rest of the package. Team Losi continues its tradition of providing an exceptional computerized radio system with their RTR's with the XXX-T Brushless. A genuine JR XR2i computerized radio system is included with the XXX-T Brushless as standard equipment. The XR2i features 2-channel operation and allows you to store profiles for two different models, as well as other advanced features not normally found on RTR radios. To keep the XXX- T Brushless going in the right direction, a JR Z590M is included as standard equipment. The Z590M has plenty of torque and speed, plus the metal gears help to improve durability and prevent you from stripping a gear.
An all-new paint scheme has also been designed for the XXX-T Brushless. It comes painted in a wonderful combination of yellow, blues, and black. This scheme is very easy to see on the track, and a sheet of decals is included to personalize the body as well. Multi-rib front tires and step-pin rear tires come pre-glued to yellow dish wheels. The XXX-T rolls out of the box equipped to cover a variety of needs, from the back yard to the cul-de-sac or the racetrack.
Innovation doesn't just happen; it takes the right people implementing new and fresh ideas to be innovative. The XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless breaks new ground in providing enthusiasts with the first brushless motor-equipped RTR available anywhere. Along with the exceptional performance and reduced maintenance provided by the Novak 4300 Brushless system and 10.5 Super Sport ESC, users will also have improved run time, further increasing the overall value and "fun factor" of the XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless. There's never been a better time than now to step up and take advantage of the performance offered by brushless motor technology, especially when it's been mated with an exceptional truck like the XXX-T.
Can I use other brushless motors with the included Super Sport Speed Controller?
The 10.5 Super Sport was designed specifically for the included Novak 4300 Brushless motor only. Unlike the Novak Super Sport Plus or GTB, the 10.5 Super Sport is not compatible with brushed motors either. Use of any other motor with the Super Sport ESC could potentially damage the ESC and will void your warranty.
How much assembly is needed before I run my truck for the first time?
The XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless comes out of the box completely assembled, tires glued, with all the electrical connections made for you at the factory. All you will need to do is install 8 AA batteries into the transmitter, charge a 6-cell battery, install the battery pack and connect it to the plug on the ESC. There's no building required, no painting, and no gluing. It doesn't get much easier.
Can I use hop-ups for the XXX-T on my XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless?
Absolutely! One of the benefits to using the XXX-T's winning platform on the XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless is that any parts designed for the XXX-T* are compatible.
Can I race the XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless at sanctioned races?
A lot depends on the type of event. If you are a beginner and racing in a "Sportsman" or entry-level class, most tracks have fairly loose rules regarding motors. Most clubs have also allowed Brushless motors in the "modified" classes. In the event you'd like to enter a National or Regional ROAR event, ROAR has stated at this time that you may only use brushless motors in the modified class.
I've heard that brushless motors shut down a lot or go into some sort of thermal shutdown. Is there any truth to this?
Most speed controllers have some sort of thermal-protection circuitry to protect the ESC from damage. More times than not, however, the thermal shutdown doesn't kick in to protect the ESC until after you've damaged or ruined your motor. The Novak Super Sport 10.5 does have a built-in thermal shutdown circuit. The thermal shutdown circuitry protects both the motor and speed controller from damage from excessive heat.. If the ESC detects that either the motor or speed controller are running too hot, the ESC will shut down until temperatures are within safe operating limits. The gearing has been preset at the factory and optimized for use in the XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless. A gear ratio has been selected to provide the best balance possible between acceleration, top speed, run time, and operating temperatures. If the motor is over-geared (too large of a pinion or too small of a spur gear), it will place an excessive load on the motor, causing it to overheat. Unless something is wrong (such as a rock jammed in the gears) or you've changed the gearing, you should not go into thermal shutdown.
What battery packs can I use with my XXX-T Sport RTR II Brushless?
The Novak Super Sport 10.5 Brushless Speed Controller is compatible with 4- to 6-cell Sub-C Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery packs. It is not recommended that you exceed these voltage recommendations or you could possibly damage your speed controller.
What sort of maintenance is required on the motor?
Novak Electronics does not recommend using any solvent on the circuitry that makes up either the motor or speed controller. To clean out the bearings in your Novak 4300 motor, Novak Electronics recommends you use compressed air to blow any dirt away from the ball bearing at the bottom of the motor's can. Once this is done, simply use a drop or two of quality ball bearing oil on the bearing and reinstall the motor in your truck.
*Optional Gen II and VLA components from the XXX-T Matt Francis II are not direct-fit components.

OOTD: I wanna go all the way
June 10, 2011
♥ Dress: Forever 21+ *** Shoes: Primark *** Jewelery: Miss Selfridge ♥
I apologize that I haven't been a great blogger this week! Life has been kind of hectic and I have been thinking about updating but time worked against me most days. I also had a bug for a couple of days so I was wearing pj's and knitted sweater socks mostly...stylish, I know! Finally feeling better today.
There was a slight wardrobe malfunction when I took these picures, my dress was caught up in the belt hence it being shorter on one side, so dorky. Thankfully I noticed before leaving my bedroom. I don't love this dress but i'm trying to wear everything I own at least once because I went through a period of buying clothes and not wearing them a while back. Today I wanted to wear something longer that would cover my thighs and this is one of my few dresses that do! The material on the bottom half of the dress is quite odd so I had to wear my ASOS bicycle shorts underneath. I don't really know why I bought this dress if i'm honest! The shoulders are too big and its squishy on my waist - I honestly think I just wanted the belt!
The title of my post is from Britney Spears new song "I Wanna Go", the chorus of that song is especially catchy! I think I mentioned it on here before but I am a big Britney fan. Her European concert tickets went on sale today but unfortunately I couldn't afford them as I spent my extra money on clothes...typical! I am hoping there will be some left at the end of the month or maybe i'll get lucky on eBay. I missed out on her concert last time she played here too. Someday I will get lucky!
I can't believe its the weekend again already! Hope you all have a great one!

I have not heard the new Britney song but looking forward to it...so you know how you have talked about your hair being thin? Mine too! I decided to get extensions to make it look fuller...ReplyDelete
@ a fine balance - aw luck you! I had a weave and then clip in extensions a few years ago (before my hair was this thin) and I loved them. My hair is too thin now though, the tracks would show. xoxoReplyDelete
Love the touch of pink in this outfit! Hope you get to see Britney soon, I bet she would be amazing live!ReplyDelete
YOU HAVE SUCH NICE LEGS!! You look so pretty xxReplyDelete
love the shoes. it would be amazing to see britney. everyone slates her live appearances but you can't not love her!ReplyDelete
The belt makes it, looks so cute. Gotta say, I'm a lover of all things stripes!ReplyDelete
Dayner x
you look so gorgeous in this!ReplyDelete
You look great, I love the combination of colours :DReplyDelete
Love that belt. It totally reminds me of ones my mammy would wear in the 80s and early 90s. Gorgeous! www.curvycanadian.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Your legs are amazing! You always looks so beautiful - doing it for the bigger gals! :)ReplyDelete
Black, white, and magenta is always a lovely three-color combination. Your looks are truly lovely here. I like the magenta flats as well. If I could restructure the look, I'd probably find a luscious pair of black peep-toe high-heel pumps. Otherwise, the flats add a cute casual touch.ReplyDelete
I love the dress, the belt is really amazing, i'd probably buy it just for the belt too, even though I think it's really cute and it looks really nice on you!ReplyDelete
Hope you get to see Britney.
Gorgeous outfit, loving the pick accessories!ReplyDelete
Stacey xx
You're a Britney fan? OMGGG! Me tooo. I adore her, she's my life!ReplyDelete
I'm sorry that you can't get tickets :( I got mine on Tuesday at the pre-sale - so excited!
You look beautiful by the way :) xx
very nice outfit ! love differents colors !ReplyDelete
So cute! I love the pink accent!ReplyDelete
I'm the biggest Britney fan EVER. When she was last in London I went to see her 7 days in a row. I nearly payed a redic amount for a meet and greet but I had to stop myself.ReplyDelete
I'm sure there will be some tickets left because she is doing a few dates. She was so good in London, I nearly cried when she sang Everytime, she did it live too
I follow your blog for a long time(before being a follower) I wanna ask you,which make up products do you use? You do it really well ^_^
Adorable outfit!! xxReplyDelete
Loving the hot pink touches with the monotone outfit :)ReplyDelete
I buy things all the time that I end up never or rarely wearing, & wondering why I actually bought it in the first place.. I've got a weakness for pretty clothes, even if I know full well they're never going to suit me!
Do forgive me, but I'm trying to ask as many people as possible about this, in the hopes that someone can help me! I can't post on my blog, it says 'javascript void' when I try & click 'publish post' - have you ever had this problem, or got any ideas on how to solve it..!? I'm desperate to update my blog, it's doing my head in!
Thanks love :)
cute outfit! <3ReplyDelete
such a cute outfit <3ReplyDelete
Love the dress! I have the same one but I had to go with a thicker belt since I'm a bit curvier. I also <3 the shoes you paired with it.ReplyDelete
Love so much your OOTDReplyDelete
LOVE IT !!!ReplyDelete
Your outfit is so cute!ReplyDelete
Really nice blog! :)
Wanna follow each other?
So cute! Love the adorable flats.ReplyDelete

Auto-create Moodle glossaries!
Posted by karen on February 14, 2010 in Uncategorized
Moodle glossaries are great, and there are so many ways to use them. Content can include everything from vocabulary to FAQs to fact-of-the-day to picture story starters. You can build them yourself as a teacher or have students build them. Glossaries can be displayed as a regular glossary type list, or you can auto-link words to glossary entries or display a random glossary block.
Here's a new tool to make your use of Moodle glossaries even easier. The Kids Open Dictionary glossary builder now has an auto-export to Moodle! (And this resource is completely public domain.)
Here are the quick instructions.
- In the dictionary, click Glossary builder.
- Enter your list of glossary words separated by commas. Click build.
- Check the resulting definitions. If there is more than one definition for a word, put a check mark next to the definition you want to include. If a word has no definition, you will need to add it. When you are done, click the Moodle button.
- Right-click the "Click here to download your glossary button" link, and save the file somewhere (e.g. your desktop).
- Go to your Moodle course. If you haven't already, turn editing on and create a glossary by selecting Glossary from the "Add an activity" drop-down menu. (More on Moodle glossaries here.)
- Select the glossary and select "Import entries."
- Browse to select the file saved in step #4.
That's it! If you have suggestions on how to make this tool more useful or if you have a list of words that you'd like to have prioritized for definitions, shoot us an email.

So how do I import a long list of favorite quotations (for example in the old fortune format where each quotation line is separated by a % symbol) into a glossary?
I certainly don't want to assign a keyword to each one of the hundreds of quotations! Nor do i want to import each individually…

VINTON, Iowa - Potential cuts in funding for one Iowa reading program could cause setbacks for students. At least that's the claim made by Iowa Governor Terry Branstad on Monday. In his weekly news conference, the governor accused Senate Democrats of underfunding the Iowa Reading Research Center by 50 percent.
The center is really a collection of online support programs and services offered to districts by the Iowa Department of Education. The idea is to help school districts make children better readers.
Currently only 49 districts, 15 percent of the state's total, are participating in the reading efforts because it's an experimental program. But another 340 districts, public and private, wanted to get teachers trained to use the system this summer and begin using the state reading resources next fall. The governor wanted to fund the Iowa Reading Research Center in fiscal 2015 with a budget of $3.9-million dollars. The governor said the appropriations bill, passed by Senate Democrats, is currently only half that.
Vinton-Shellsburg is one of the districts hoping to begin using the reading resources this fall. Superintendent Mary Jo Hainstock said teachers can usually tell which students are proficient at reading and which ones are having trouble. But she said what's more difficult is knowing exactly how to boost reading skills with each struggling student.
"Is it a fluency issue, a decoding issue or a comprehension issue? So these screeners can really determine which level you need to really roll that back and do some interventions. It's not a one size fits all," Hainstock said.
The "screeners" are part of an early warning literacy system that schools can use if they sign up for the state's reading program. It's not only a way to help detect students struggling with reading but also determine the particular weakness for that student.
Hainstock said Vinton-Shellsburg heard good reports from the other schools that were already part of the program. So the plan was to send ten elementary teachers from the district's two elementary schools to the summer training. That way they'd be ready to start targeted reading instruction next fall. But program leaders at the Iowa Department of Education said without full legislative funding, it won't be possible to open the program to every school district that wants to take part.
Hainstock said the state is mandating certain reading goals for districts. Current first graders must be proficient in reading by the time they are in third grade or the state wants them held back. Hainstock said if the state is going to require certain performance standards it only makes sense to provide the resources to meet those standards.

Cameron is in essence assuming the role of in loco parentis in relation to almost every household in Britain.
1844, American English, from Spanish loco (adj.) "insane," of uncertain origin, perhaps from Arabic lauqa, fem. of 'alwaq "fool, crazy person." Loco-weed (1877) was name given to species of western U.S. plants that cause cattle and horse diseases that make them stagger and act strangely.
To assume the duties and responsibilities of a parent: "Because Jack's parents were out of town, his sister acted in loco parentis and punished him for staying out so late." From Latin, meaning "in the place of a parent."
Note: At one time, colleges and universities acted in loco parentis for their students, but this is no longer true.

This Award is made to scientists working in the biological sciences to promote capacity building in Africa.
Since 2006, with the support of Pfizer Inc, the Royal Society has offered the Pfizer Award to reward scientists based in Africa, and to promote science capacity building in the developing world.
The Royal Society Pfizer Award recognises research scientists who are making an innovative contribution to the biological sciences, including basic medical science, which contributes significantly to capacity building in Africa.
This year, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Royal Society Pfizer Award, the programme has been expanded to allow two awards to be made in 2015. Each award consists of a grant towards a research project that is linked to an African centre of scientific excellence, which would normally be a University, or equivalent research centre. The grant is intended to contribute towards the costs of the research project, with the exception of the awardees own salary. A further personal prize is also given to the recipients.
Early Career Award
The Early Career Award will be presented to a research scientist showing exceptional promise, but at an earlier stage of his or her career, usually having received their PhD within the last 20 years. The Early Career Award recipient will receive a grant of £14,000 together with a personal prize of £1,000.
Advanced Award
The Advanced Award will be presented to an experienced top-level researcher that has made a significant and sustained contribution in both research and leadership over a longer period of time. A grant of £11,000 and a personal prize of £4,000 will be awarded to the Advanced Award recipient.
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at the Royal Society. A seminar will also be held to celebrate the work of the awardees at which they will give a talk about their research and how their award will affect their progress. As part of the 10-year anniversary celebrations, past award recipients will be invited to attend and give a presentation on the award's impact on his/her research career. Those attending the seminar will be scientists in the relevant field, those working on capacity building in Africa and policy makers.
The call for nominations is now closed.
The recipient is chosen by the Council of the Royal Society on the recommendation of the Biological Sciences Awards Committees. Nominations are valid for one year.

Denver woman among 4 who died in Utah hiking in heat this summer
Hiker collapses at National Monument in Utah
PANGUITCH, Utah - Authorities are providing more details about a Denver woman who died earlier this month while hiking in temperatures near 100 degrees in southern Utah.
Garfield County sheriff's deputies say 35-year-old Cindy Marie So had been hiking with a friend July 4 near the Spooky Gulch slot canyon in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument when So began struggling in the heat.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that despite packing three liters of water plus a 32-oz. bottle of Gatorade, So ran out of fluid after she and her friend got lost hiking. So's friend left her about a quarter-mile from the trailhead to fetch water and seek help.
Officials say the friend returned to find So mumbling incoherently. Another couple hiking in the area found them and poured water over So while her friend ran back to the trailhead to call 911. When Lewandowski returned 40 minutes later, So had no pulse and was not breathing.
So's friend performed CPR until rescuers arrived.
Deputies say medics flew the woman to a hospital in Page, Ariz., but were unable to revive her.
The temperature that day was near 100 degrees, deputies wrote.
So is among four hikers who have died this summer hiking in southern Utah. The other three died while hiking The Wave rock formation in Kane County.
According to her online obituary, So graduated from Cornell University and earned a MS degree in biomedical science at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed the pre-med program at Columbia University. She was recently finishing her education at Rocky Vista University, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Denver.
So was a teaching assistant during her time in college and was also a medical assistant.
"Cindy was full of life with an infectious laugh. She enjoyed hiking, skiing, music, hanging out with friends and spending time with her nephews. The world has lost an amazing individual and future doctor and will be greatly missed. A gathering of friends and family will be held at the home of Sherwin and Debra on Saturday, July 27. Memorial contributions can be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation," her online obituary read.

We've known for some time that the HTC One will be available in blue. Lately, the rumors have been heating up with new info, which suggested it will be a carrier-specific color version (Verizon in the US). Whatever the truth is, we hope we hear it soon from HTC itself. Until then, we finally...

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 265 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kp52 wedding party good for weddings and business meetings. July 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dljones The Hotel That TIme Forgot elevator rides are more exciting than they need to be. the pool is kept at a refreshing 55 degrees or so. lots of property and no place to sit outside unless you drag out your own chair from the bizarre pool area- just remember to prop that door with a towel! nice bartenders. Kudos to the group sales department tho. lots of weddings. My room was surprisingly small and smelled heavily of bad cologne. Windows do not open even a crack. beds are comfortable. depressing lobby with plastic flowers and randomly placed furniture... July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KMoe4325 Weekend Wedding The staff was great with working with us to get us into a room as soon as possible. Room service and stay was much better than to be expected. Only downfall was the room did not seem as new as it should. The blind pull was broken, bathroom seemed like it needed a little tlc. Would def. recommend staying here. Views of the surrounding area were awesome. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mooskie Comfortable and Clean Stayed on the 4th of July. Our room was small but comfortable and clean. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Katalin1 Unhappy with the pool/spa area Pool was cold should of been heated and hot tub was drained and refilled during stay and was cold! July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne4911 Clean hotel Room was clean, staff responsive, pool cold, but hot tube great July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diva2u Jehovah's Witnesses International Convention The location of the hotel was perfect. Easy access to the metlife stadium on rte 17. Lots of places to eat and shop. Perfect location. July 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jralr Overbooking issues and lack of SPG Recognition Got there around 2pm after driving 2.5 hours. Realized that it was early to check in but tried anyway. Found out that out of the 3 rooms I booked 6 months in advance and prepaid, told 1 room was not available as a double like I booked. Given run around that someone wanted to extend their stay. Knowing how the person in room cannot legally be kicked out, it was still not my problem. I booked 6 months in advanced. However they still managed to "accomodate us" after some run around. as far as other 2 rooms, told they were not ready and check-in is at 3pm. I asked if my SPG did me any good but I guess it didn't. 3pm came and went. After waiting in the lobby for over an hour after check-in time, with not so much as a water of a status update, it wasn't until my elder parents went up and asked why the delay was so long that we finally got our rooms. And I didn't even try the restaurant because of reviews from people that ate there stating prices too high for the quality. Too bad because it was a mighty comfortable stay, which along with SPG points/miles program and the awesome beds are the main reasons why I stay at SPG family hotels. July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Julie12 Good hotel but a few things need improvement TV did not get ABC channel. Alarm clock did not work and could not be adjusted. Coffee pot overflowed. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevin2002 A Beutiful place The front desk agents were wonderful. We had dinner at the Atrium bar and food was wonderfu Cara was very nice. Even though the hotel was sold out it was managed very nicely. Very professional staff. Would highly recommend June 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rude Highly Disappointed This is an absolutely beautiful location and excellent for weddings. However, guest services was very rude. I felt unwelcomed due to my StarHot rate. My reservations were for double beds; I received cots in which I was also billed for and eventually rudely refunded. This has been the worse experience with Starwoods personnel in all my stays. My room was never cleaned and when requested clean towels the attendant acted as if I was disturbing him. June 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Larryort Consistently good service We've stayed at this property before and we find it consistent with the overall quality Sheraton Product June 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rude Rude This Hotel is beautiful inside and out. It is an excellent location for weddings. The guest services staff was rude. I felt unwelcomed due to my StarHot rate. I reserved queen double beds but received cots instead. I was charged for the cot which was later rudely refunded. My room was never cleaned or trash emptied during my stay. I made 3 requests for clean towels. Finally I requested the towels from a guest services attendant on the floor, he behaved as if I was bothering him. This is definitely the worse Starwoods location in guest services I have ever stayed. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobarino Sheratons are 5 star This hotel had a nice atmosphere. Easy on and off exit to main highway. The only flaw was the door to the rooms. Very old bang when closing,wakes you right up. Had guest on our floor that where in and out of their rooms. This was the same case at the Sheraton in Florida. Sheraton should look into this! June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sirin Great location and very clean The hotel is very clean and look active also the waiter are nice and welcome. I went to 3 location of Sheraton as well on my trip. but Mahwah is the cleanest . the most I happy is clean bed sheet and no smell of the pillos thank you again to keep the Sheraton high quality. June 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Baraati Was underwhelmed I was at the Sheraton while attending a wedding. Everything associated with the wedding was well done. My issue was with my room. When we walked in there was an odor. It smelled musty and the bed was uncomfortable. The night before we stayed in a different hotel across the street from the Sheraton. We were much more comfortable in the hotel across the street and it was cheaper. I was also disappointed that the my "King Suite" didn't' have a refrigerator in it. June 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by menega not up to the standard of SPG I am a platinum member and this is the works hotel of SPG that I have been in. Beside the fact that it feels to enter in a old hotels, there were many details proving that there is also a very bad management. LM June 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RLockwood The Hotel was Wonderful! We had no complaints. It was very nice and clean. June 2, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by sugarbyrd Peaceful setting Lovely setting, mountain views. Very comfortable, spacious rooms. Staff is very friendly. We always enjoy staying here when visiting family. May 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cobi This hotel needs New management I had reserved a room with a King size bed which was confirmed by the reservation i made. At the arrival time i was not greeted or acknowledged as a Platinum Member by the clerk at the counter. He assigned me to a double bed room. Ï Went back to the counter and spoke to another employee who told me there were no other rooms available. Called the manager who found us a room with a Queen size bed. It was Not adecuare and the room was small. The hotel was crowded with Construction workers who fiorned long lines at the elevators and creared unexpected delays and made it difficult to rearch our room. They were carrying tolls and equipamient that filled the elevators. We felt we were in a cheap motel on a side Road. Food at the Restaurant was Bellow mediocre. Cafetería style ? May 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Debee8 Liked the Starbucks in room The maids were attentive to my 'coffee' needs while I was there for a brief conference. Also I felt the hotel was more spacious in the room area & in the halls. I would definitely come back to this Mauwau, NJ Sheraton May 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnnyA Great Price - Great Room The price was very reasonable and the rooms are biga lot of windows and above all very clean. May 5, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Selva20 A comfortable place for a holiday We stayed at this hotel for two days to attend a wedding that took place in this hotel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruby20 Billing error I was a guest of the Platt Randazzo wedding and I was charged the wrong price and I am still waiting for a credit. I was lied to from the staff when I arrived and our wedding gift bag was not in our room, I asked the staff if I was charged the wedding fee of $119.00 and they said our fee was $2.30 cheaper than the wedding fee. We were charged $165.65. When we met with family yesterday they told us what they paid. I called the hotel and the desk said they would take care of it and I have not received my credit. I called again this morning and now I am still waiting for a manager to call me. So I am not happy to be cheated. April 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Annoyed100 Very Noisey Ventillation system made very loud noises all night long. Stayed in room 1807 and was constantly awakened by these loud noises. April 7, 2014

31.5 Neapolitana style FORNO specification
I checked the Casa80 dimetions:
- Diameter = 31.5"
- Interior height = 15.3" (thats too high for a napoli style oven) how high should it be? i was thinking of 13"? but to be accurate 1/3 of 31.5 = 10.5 which height should i use?
- Oven opening W = 17.29"
- Oven opening H = 9.83"
i think the opening is big!!!
is there a ratio they use to calculate the oven opening W & H???
About the oven wall, how high should it be before i start the 1st curved chane?
Oven Hearth:

continued Tony Jordan gets involved
Assemblyman Tony Jordan (R-Jackson), representing the 112th Assembly District, is a North Creek native and the town of Johnsburg attorney. While his district doesn't include North Creek, he's interested in making sure that Gore Mountain is adequately represented during and after the Belleayre transition.
"I remember as a kid skiing the big three (Gore, Belleayre and Whiteface), and we're now reuniting them and want to make sure that it improves the value of the experience at all the facilities, that not one of the facilities is short-changed," Jordan said.
Jordan is looking at the big picture. He doesn't just see North Creek, Wilmington, Lake Placid or Pine Hill. He doesn't just see the Adirondack or the Catskill parks. He sees an economic engine for the Empire State.
"These are major assets for the state of New York," Jordan said. "Gore, Whiteface and now Belleayre — now within ORDA — they sit within the largest catchment area of potential skiers in the country, and that means tremendous revenues to the state through tourism dollars. It's in the spirit of making sure we maximize that. "
Asked if he'd like to see one other ORDA Board member represent Warren County, Jordan said, "I don't think that's the only right answer, and I think it's too early to tell even if any change is necessary at all ... There might be better, more efficient, more flexible ways and more fluid ways of doing it, and that's what we're looking at right now."
The only way to require that two ORDA Board members live in Warren County is through legislation, according to Jordan.
"When you're a legislator, very often your initial reaction is legislation, and that's not always the right answer," Jordan said.
However, if the best way to help Gore is to pass legislation to add a Warren County representative to the ORDA Board, Jordan said he would work with Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) to make that happen.

3rd Edition
By Jeffrey Weeks
Routledge – 2009 – 216 pages
Series: Key Ideas
For over twenty years, Sexuality has provided a cutting edge introduction to debates about sexualities, gender, and intimate life. Previous editions included pioneering discussions of the historical shaping of sexuality, identity politics, the rise of fundamentalism, the social impact of AIDS, the influence of the new genetics, 'global sex', queer theory, 'sex wars', the debates about values, new patterns of intimacy, and much more. In this new edition,
Jeffrey Weeks offers a thorough update of these debates, and introduces new concepts and issues. Globalization is now a key way of understanding the reshaping of sexual life, and is discussed in relation to global flows, neo-liberalism, new forms of opposition, cosmopolitanism and the heated debates around sex trafficking and sex tourism. Arguments about the regulation and control of sexuality, and the intersection of various dimensions of power and domination are contextualised by a sustained argument about the importance of agency in remaking sexual and intimate life. In particular, new forms of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer politics, and the high impact of the debates about same-sex marriage are explored. These controversies, in turn, feed into debates about what is 'transgressive', 'normal', 'ordinary'; into the nature of heter-normativity; and into the meanings of diversity and choice. To conclude, the book turns to questions of values and ethics, recognition, sexual citizenship and human sexual rights.
This book displays the succinctness, clarity and comprehensiveness for which Jeffrey Weeks has become well known. It will appeal to a wide range of readers internationally.
1. The Languages of Sex 2. The Invention of Sexuality 3. The Meanings of Sexual Difference 4. The Challenge of Diversity 5. Sexuality, Intimacy and Politics 6. Private Pleasures and Public Policies
Jeffrey Weeks is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at London South Bank University. He has an international reputation as a writer on sexuality and intimate life, and is the author or co-author of over 100 papers and articles, and twenty-two books. Previous Routledge publications include Sexuality and its Discontents, Same Sex Intimacies and The World We Have Won.

The Bachelor
Sneak Peek of The Bachelor Season 15, Episode 4: Michelle Gets a Black Eye, Chantal Goes Under the Sea
It may be time to call it: This season of The Bachelor isn't about finding love at all — it's one long intervention.
Or maybe a long episode of Punk'd. At any rate, more Season 15 Bachelor contestants will be tortured in Week 4. Michelle Money gets a black eye and has to overcome her fear of heights. Chantal O'Brien has to face her fear of, uh, water. And even sweet Southern Barbie/Mother Teresa Emily Maynard faces the wrath of the other bachelorettes. Prepare for the locusts, they'll be here next week.
Chantal is not that tough: The producers are just plain mean. They make Brad and Ashley Spivey sing, even though they're terrible; they make Emily Maynard fly, despite her tragic backstory; and now they are making Chantal O'Brien go underwater, even though she has a phobia about water. Chantal is thrilled to learn she's getting a one-on-one date with Brad... until she realizes the date card message, "How deep is your life," involves diving and not the Bee Gees. Chantal and Brad take a helicopter to Catalina Island, where she discovers they'll have to put on wetsuits and diver helmets to plunge to the ocean floor for the scenic stroll of a lifetime. (Side note: Catalina is also where Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke became Kip-Ten on Bachelor Pad.) Will the slapper be able to conquer her fears? This girl is a marshmallow.
Radio group date: The next day Brad takes nine women on a date to a radio station, where they discover they'll be guests on "Loveline," the famed talk show where hosts Dr. Drew & Psycho Mike dig deep into matters of the heart. In the revealing session, one woman discloses a shocking secret that could jeopardize her relationship with Brad. (This sounds like the woman who admits to having cheated in the past; we hear a piece of that in the previews.) The intense drama continues at the after-party where another bachelorette melts down when she thinks her connection to the Bachelor is fading. However, a reserved woman finally opens up to Brad about her feelings for him, which might boost her chances of getting a rose.
Michelle is upset, y'all: The following day Brad picks up a "black-eyed" Michelle, for their one-on-one date, but she seethes with resentment when Brad takes time away from her to first reassure one sensitive woman that their connection is real. Michelle is infuriated that she is losing time with Brad because some other bachelorette can't keep her emotions in check. (Pot, meet kettle.) Brad eventually whisks Michelle away in a helicopter to the top of a skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles. Once he reveals that they will be rappelling down the side of the building, Michelle grows weak in the knees. Can she overcome her fear of heights and take a real leap of faith with Brad? Or will we finally be rid of her?
Again with the therapist! Brad is overwhelmed by all the connections he is feeling with a number of women and consults his therapist, who assures Brad that he owes it to himself — as well as to the women — to explore the bonds he is forming with them. Heeding his therapist's advice, Brad pulls the delighted Emily out for a surprise picnic in front of the mansion during the cocktail reception, sparking a massive outpouring of envy and resentment from the other women and bringing one to tears. (Just one?) Funny note on the therapist — Reality Steve found the guy's IMDb page. It turns out, British therapist Dr. Jaime Greene (if he really is a doctor... ) is the former drummer from Go West. Remember them from "King of Wishful Thinking," the song that played in Pretty Woman? Hysterical!
Next stop: After another tense rose ceremony, 11 women remain to begin a worldwide adventure with Brad. The first stop is Las Vegas, which doesn't really count as worldwide since it's a short flight away from L.A.
The 14 women still in the running toward becoming America's Next Top Bachelor Dumpee Are:
Alli, 24, an apparel merchant from Columbus, OH
Ashley H., 26, a dentist from Philadelphia, PA
Ashley S., 26, a nanny from New York, NY
Britt, 25, a food writer from Woodinville, WA
Chantal, 28, an executive assistant from Seattle, WA
Emily, 24, a children's hospital event planner from Charlotte, NC
Jackie, 27, an artist from New York, NY
Lindsay, 25, a first grade teacher from Plano, TX
Lisa M., 24, a marketing coordinator from Ottawa, KS
Marissa, 26, a sports publicist from Kissimmee, FL
Meghan, 30, a fashion marketer from New York, NY
Michelle, 30, a hairstylist from Salt Lake City, UT
Shawntel, 25, a funeral director from Chico, CA
Stacey, 26, a bartender from Boston, MA

Juvenile Probation Services are provided by the Court Service Unit as required by the Code of Virginia. When a juvenile is found guilty of a criminal offense or is found to be a Child in Need of Supervision, meaning they are chronically truant from school or a runaway, they are placed on probation supervision, usually for an indeterminate length of time.
Cases are assigned to a Probation Officer, who meets with the child and the family to determine the youth's risk and protective factors and to develop a plan for supervision and services. The Probation Officer works closely with the youth, their family, the schools and local agencies. The youth will have probation rules covering areas such as curfew, school attendance, meetings with the probation officer and completing any recommended services. A youth may also be required to perform community service, pay restitution or participate in other programs.
Violations of probation can be filed against a youth who does not follow the rules of probation. This will lead to further court action and consequences, which can include detainment at the local juvenile detention home.
Youth who commit a felony or repeated misdemeanor offenses can be sentenced to the local detention center for up to 6 months or can be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Such commitments can be for an indeterminate length of time or a determinate length of time up the the youth's 21st birthday. During commitment a Parole Officer works with the youth, the counselors at the juvenile correctional center and the parents to develop a plan for services.
Upon release from commitment, a youth is placed on parole supervision. Parole is much like probation but usually requires more supervision contacts with the Parole Officer and more intensive services in order to reintergrate the youth back into the community.
Youth can remain on juvenile probation or parole until age 21. Release from probation requires the youth to have no further criminal actions, follow all probation and parole rules, and complete all required services and treatment.
