College Admission Information
The college admissions process is more competitive than ever as students are applying to more schools, taking the SAT and ACT multiple times and relying more heavily on scholarships and other financial aid to help them pay for school. With increasingly stiff competition and high stakes, students need all the assistance they can get when it comes to choosing a college and applying for admission. Free information abounds online but high school students may not know where to start looking or even what to look for to help them prepare for college. Drawing on our knowledge, experience and research we've put together a library of resources to help students navigate college admissions from the very start of college planning to the end of the college application process.
Standardized Testing
The most well-known and well-lamented aspect of the college application process seems to be standardized testing. The prospect of three-plus hours of filling in bubbles is enough to fill most college hopefuls with dread and the knowledge of how much is riding on the score can make test anxiety even worse than usual. Standardized test preparation can help students overcome test anxiety and raise their test scores, potentially helping them secure a better college placement or a more generous financial aid package. The standardized testing resources on Scholarships.com help students begin the process of preparing for their testing day regardless of which test they're taking. Here, your students can find overviews, sample questions and tips from members of our staff who have had positive standardized testing experiences. We also provide regular updates on standardized testing news on our blog.
High School Action Plan
High school students may see attending college and winning scholarships as ultimate goals but they may not always know how to reach those goals. As you're well aware, making and sticking to a plan of action can help high school students realize their college goals. We've prepared a high school action plan for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors to keep them on track for graduation and college admissions. Included are when they should meet with their college counselor, what they should discuss, and what they should be doing academically and in their extracurricular activities to stand out on college and scholarship applications.
College Prep
Preparing for college goes beyond scoring well on standardized tests and taking challenging classes while participating in athletics, community service or other extracurricular activities. An overwhelming amount of questioning and choice is involved in college preparation: Students will not only have to make the right college choice but also choose a college major. Many of them may even have to decide whether or not to go to college at all. To help students prepare for college life and navigate the decisions they need to make to set and ultimately reach their college goals, we have a wide range of college prep materials available on our site. We have information on preparing for college, applying for college, choosing a major, choosing the right school and even succeeding in college classes. Students can also check out the information we provide on study skills and campus life, as these pages can help answer questions about college and present students with more questions to ask themselves, their counselors and others to help them get ready for college. Our goal is to help students become more engaged in their college preparation and to enable them to plan for and create success in their lives after college.

Since it's that time of year with school ending and children arriving home with an overflowing backpack (and more) of 'treasures' from their desk…I thought I would share how I store and save my children's school papers from year to year.
I came up with this system about 6 years ago. My daughter had just finished Grade 3 and my son was still in pre-school. All of my daughter's school papers were stored, messily, in an under the bed box. I thought that method was keeping me "organized". As she was finishing her fourth year of school and I was shoving papers into this overflowing box, I thought that there had to be a better way. Piling stuff into boxes only works for so long. Then it becomes chaos in a box.
I started by creating a file folder for each grade. I used my handy dandy P-touch labeller to label each folder with name, grade and year. Then I organized each folder with papers from each grade. I try to keep these things: report card, special award certificates, leftover school pictures, a few samples of art work and a few samples of handwriting or story writing. I try to the keep the file folder to no more than about 20 pieces of paper at most. If I come across artwork that I know I want to frame, I put it in a special pile for framing later on. {To see the art gallery wall of my children's artwork, click here.}Here are the file folders for each child for the year that just finished:
The file folders are kept in an easily accessible white wooden file box on my desk. I easily pop things into the folders as they come into the house. This system works great and I am really pleased with myself for keeping "with the program". That is the ultimate 'lithmus test' of an organizational project… if you keep up with it!
When the school year is over and nothing more will be added to the files, I move the file folders to each child's special "keepsake box". The boxes are simple, inexpensive plastic totes from the local office supply store. The boxes are letter-sized and cost $11.99 each….which makes them both economical and durable. I keep each school year's folder in the box with other folders from previous years. Each box looks like this:
I am aiming to make sure that each child will have only 1 full tote at the end of Grade 12. That's the goal! What they want to do with their 'keepsake box' when they leave home is up to them. I hope they will appreciate that Mom has taken the time to save some mementos of their school years. And if you are a scrapbooker, well, hot diggity dog, these file folders make scrapbooking a child's school years a breeze. Everything you need to create a layout/layouts can be found in the file folders.
Hopefully, when they move from home, the will only need to rent a trailer for their scrapbooks!

Most Helpful Opinion
Those vaginal contractions were an orgasm. That's basically what happens. It should get better with time. The more you explore and learn about what feels good to you the better they will feel. Have you tried masturbating with your hands, the shower or with the jets in a jacuzzi? There's all kinds of different ways that provide all kinds of different sensations. Some women like to have something inside them at the same time to give a feeling of being full.
The PC muscles are also linked to the pleasurableness of orgasm and you can do kegels to strengthen them. Focus on it and enjoy the sensations for what they are and not what you expect them to feel like. If your mind isn't in the right place it might take something away from the experience.
What Guys Said 3
What Girls Said 1
Congratulations, you had a clitoral orgasm. That sounds exactly like the orgasms I have from clitoral stimulation. They can vary in intensity, but basically the pleasure seems to come up to a peak, I tense up, my breathing increases, and then I have uncontrollable vaginal contractions. Afterward, my clitoris becomes very sensitive. When I was younger, I felt the same way that you do: I expected something more and wondered if it was because I gave up too soon. Now I've come to enjoy that kind of orgasm just the way it is.
There are different kinds of orgasms, however. The best way that I've heard a G-spot orgasm described is to imagine yourself lying on a beach with your feet to the ocean and a giant wave of pleasure comes up over you, similar to the "feeling over amazingness overcoming your whole body" that you expected to feel. A g-spot orgasm is a very different and less "concentrated" feeling compared to a clitoral orgasm.
While a clitoral orgasm is less intense than a G-spot orgasm, it's still very enjoyable, so don't feel disappointed. :)

There's hope for Homer Simpson. Though most believe the path to prosperity runs through the college quad, it's possible to earn a good salary without earning a bachelor's degree first, according to a new survey. In some cases, graduates get great returns on a two-year community-college degree, the study by CareerBuilder.com and Economic Modeling Specialists, an employment analytics firm, found. In some ways, a graduate with a bachelor's degree in philosophy may be less marketable than someone with two years of technical education, experts say. "It does help if your training directly relates to your profession," says a spokesman for Generation Opportunity, a nonprofit think tank in Arlington, Va. One word of caution: In today's economy, prospects may be dwindling for those with two-year associate's degrees. "Nearly one in five employers reported that their educational requirements for jobs in their organizations have increased over the last five years," says Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America. With that caveat in mind, here are the top 10 best-paid jobs that do not require a four-year degree. — By Quentin Fottrell
Air-traffic controller: $113,547
Air-traffic controllers have a higher median income than pilots ($105,518). And pilots do need college degrees. But an air-traffic controller's salary — like a pilot's — varies wildly "depending on where you are employed, in what capacity and for how long," says Patrick Smith, a pilot for a large commercial carrier and the host of the site AskthePilot.com. As with many professions, a two-year associates degree may be just one of the prerequisites to be considered. Controllers, for instance, typically receive psychological evaluations.
Radiation therapist: $76,627
Most radiation therapy jobs require at least an associate's degree. Therapists must be licensed in most states, though requirements vary state-by-state. Their job demand is forecast to rise 20% from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, significantly more than the 14% average growth rate for all occupations. And while these aren't doctor's wages, the pay is well over the $50,000 median salary for U.S. households.
Dental hygienist: $70,408
True, dental hygienists are often left to do the dirty job of cleaning teeth and inspecting mouths for signs of gum disease, while the dentist mulls over the X-rays. But they too have a very optimistic job outlook: Demand for dental hygienists is expected to soar by 38% over the next decade, versus just 20% for dentists.
Nuclear medicine technologist: $69,638
As a general rule, unusual and specialist jobs often have higher salaries, which is why students need to become more creative about choosing a career, experts say. Nuclear medicine technologists, which prepare and administer radioactive drugs for use when scanning patients for abnormalities, are one such example. Demand in this profession is expected to grow at the same rate as radiation therapists.
Nuclear technician: $68,037
A nuclear technician assists in research and production. And the job requires skills unlikely to be taught in a humanities program. The upside: Nuclear engineers play a vital role in the research and development of ways to harness energy for medicine, military defense and energy. The downside: the possible risk of exposure to radiation. The U.S. Navy — with its nuclear-powered fleet — and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are two big employers of nuclear specialists.
Registered nurse: $65,853
Nursing jobs are expected to soar by 27% from 2010 to 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Experts say it's a rewarding, but highly demanding and oftentimes grueling, profession. Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care, and give advice and emotional support to patients and their families.
Diagnostic medical sonographer: $65,499
Diagnostic medical sonographers use special imaging equipment that directs sound waves into a patient's body — for ultrasounds and sonograms — to assess various medical conditions. The field also has one of the highest growth rates of any job. Demand in this profession is forecast to grow 44% between 2010 and 2020, according to the BLS, which is more than three times the average growth rate for all jobs.
Fashion designer: $63,170
It seems anyone can become a fashion designer these days. Look at Victoria Beckham, the artist formerly known as Posh Spice. But those who don't have the money to establish their own fashion house still need to hone their craft. The late British designer Alexander McQueen worked as an apprentice with Saville Rowtailors Anderson & Sheppard in London and theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans. Experts say computer technology in design is becoming an increasingly important part of the job.
Aerospace engineering and operations technician: $61,547
These technicians are not "rocket scientists," though they could probably claim to be at a high school reunion. They operate equipment used in developing and testing new aircraft and spacecraft. Space exploration is no longer one of the world's top priorities. Employment of aerospace engineers is expected to remain flat from 2010 to 2020, according to the BLS. Because they often work in areas of national defense, they may need security clearances.
Engineering technician: $58,698
For those who don't know what engineering technicians actually do, they help engineers and scientists in their research and development. As with most of these jobs, competition is tough. "A lot of engineering schools are filled with people from the rest of the world," says Gary Burtless, labor economist at the non-profit Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Computer, chemical and electronic engineer jobs, which do require a four-year degree, all earn higher median salaries of over $90,000.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – Two leaders of a violent group that distributed methamphetamine and cocaine on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation have been sentenced.
Authorities say 26-year-old Marco Uribe stuck the barrel of a handgun into the mouth of a kidnapping victim, and 26-year-old Jose Garcia gave partygoers free cocaine in an attempt to recruit them into the Mobridge-based drug ring.
The American News reports Uribe pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting kidnapping and a weapons charge, and was sentenced to nearly 18 years in prison.
Garcia pleaded guilty to conspiracy and weapons charges, and was sentenced to seven years.
Seven of the eight people charged with felonies in connection with the drug ring have now been sentenced, and the eighth has pleaded guilty and is to be sentenced Oct. 7.

I'm fine with series 8 not starting for so long. I think modern British viewers are spoiled with Who having so many episodes.

This makes no fucking sense whatsoever to me.
Spoiled? What kind of bullshit is that? People like the show, they watch the show, they want more of the show. Television is produced to be consumed as entertainment, that is its only purpose. It doesn't become less special just because there is more of it. It doesn't become less special if it is produced and broadcast with some regularity. If you don't want to watch it then don't.

Picture: Chris O'Dowd walking through London after leaving the ITV studios London, England - 20.06.11
Chris O'Dowd, the Irish comic actor and star of the hit film Bridesmaids has announced his intention to marry his girlfriend DAWN PORTER. The couple each announced the engagement via their Twitter pages, according to a report from People magazine. O'Dowd went for a comic approach, with "I'm so bored of all this happiness and sex. I'm getting married. #engaged," whilst Porter included a reference to a Beyonce song with "I guess he liked it, coz he put a ring on it #engaged."
Chris O'Dowd plays KRISTIN WIIG's love interest in Bridesmaids, which was produced by Judd Apatow and also stars Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. Prior to the release of Bridesmaids, O'Dowd was one of the stars of the hit UK comedy series The IT Crowd, along with Richard Ayoade. Dawn Porter has hosted a number of UK TV shows, including Super Slim Me, in which she attempted to slim down to a size zero. She has also hosted the product testing section of Gok Wan's How to Look Good Naked show.
O'Dowd and Porter join a growing list of celebrities announcing their engagements over the festive period. Others to have done so in recent days include Holly Valance and Nick Candy, Steven Tyler and Erin Brady and Matthew Mcconaughey and Camila Alves. Russell Brand and Katy Perry, however, announced yesterday (December 30, 2011) that they are divorcing after 14 months of marriage.

Thanks in advance for your reply. I've really enjoyed reading your articles - you are very knowledgable and your style is great!
Let me begin my reply by thanking you for your kind words about my articles. I am always glad to hear that my musings are helpful, rather than otherwise. As for your questions:
1. Comment on MCSA certification vs. MCSE on Microsoft Windows 2000
I see the MCSA as an intermediate stepping-stone for certified Microsoft professionals, midway between MCP and MCSE. For many professionals who concentrate on day-to-day operations and administration, the MCSA may be all the certification they need. The MCSE now distinguishes itself by including more electives (for a broader view of the MS product universe) and the design requirement (for a better understanding of how IT fits into business planning and processes) while the MCSA is more of a nuts-and-bolts credential.
2. Would I label MCSA as just a fancy version of the MCP?
No, because it requires passing 4 exams, and obtaining an MCP only requires passing one. By virtue of the requirements for the MCSA, I think it does a good job of testing people for basic administration and network management skills.
3. Implications of passing 70-240 on or before 12/31/2001?
It is absolutely correct to assume that by passing that exam you will be able to pursue MCSA and MCSE in the following year. In fact, because 70-240 takes care of 70-210, 70-215, and 70-216 on the MCSA track, you need take and pass only 70-218 to qualify as an MCSA once you've passed 70-240. That said, make sure you order your voucher and get a test seat for that exam ASAP: Microsoft will not honor voucher requests after November 1, 2001, and seats in Prometric and VUE test centers are expected to become scarce as the year draws to a close and more people try to squeeze in under the wire. Don't delay!

Question – In spite of tremendous stress on Kundalini by Your Holiness, it is hard for me to reconcile myself with the fact that there is not the slightest reference of Kundalini in the authoritative guides on yoga – I mean Patangali's Yoga Sutras or Gita. Why?
Shri Mataji: Yes it is surprising that people will say … He says that in Yoga Sutras of Patangali it is not written about Kundalini and also about Gita it's not written about Kundalini. Is a fact because, you see, it was a secret science. It was kept a secret science, in my first lecture only I said, till the Sixth Century. In the Sixth Century, Adi Shankaracharya for the first time opened his mouth about it. It was a secret science with very great gurus like Janaka gave Realization to Nachiketa. And in the same way Shri Krishna (pictured) did not talk about it, because you see even when Markandeya talked about it, people did not know what he was talking. They never thought him to be a sensible man.
Then later on as the people became into two compartments, one on the right, one on the left side, some started worshipping God in a devotion and in a bhakti way, the another started doing yagya havanadi things. So whatever was required for these two types of things evolved and that's what developed. The central side of evolution was kept a secret. And even at the time of Shri Krishna it was not mentioned, not a word about this thing was mentioned because this is an internal happening, it's antar yoga. It was not described, but Shri Krishna hinted at it, that you have to have your yoga. But how, He did not say because that was not the time. He was the one who laid the seeds. That's why He is called as Krishna. Krishna means "krishi," the one who has done krishi. So this one was laid, the sprouting had to come. Today it was to be told. Continue Reading »
Shri Mataji: In the evolutionary process a human being has come out of a small little unicellular animal called Amoeba as they say in the science. But what is the purpose of this becoming a human being? The purpose of his becoming a human being is that he has to become the spirit. This vehicle of a human body, mind, is to express the spirit within you. Self realization is the epitome of our evolution. So we all have to become self realized. Without self we are in darkness. We are not aware of the all pervading power which is doing all the living work. All kinds of living work things we can not do. What we do is the dead work or the mental projections which recoil back upon ourselves. We must get to self realization that's the goal of human ascent from amoeba to this stage.

Audience member from public lecture: What is the reason for having dreams?
Shri Mataji: The reason for dreams is that when you are sleeping your attention moves either to the supraconscious side or to the subconscious side, your attention starts moving. And then you start seeing things which are connected with your subconscious or your collective subconscious and all this thing. And you may go onto supraconscious side where you see your future and all this thing. But the reason why you get dreams actually is that the unconscious, which is within you, or you can say the Kundalini or your Atma is trying to guide you to the right path. And how does it guide you to the right path? Is through dreams. But these are misunderstood.
How do you understand these dreams because you are so confused. First you go deep into yourself and you touch the unconscious – sushupti stithi. But from there you come out. And then when you are coming out, you touch your subconscious or maybe supraconscious. So whatever anubhuti you had, or whatever experience you had, of the depths of the sushupti gets confused and you don't know what you dreamt, and you don't understand and you forget it. But those who are realized souls go to their sushupti and see exactly what they have to know.
Like many people in Bombay when I came, they didn't know I was coming but they were at the airport because they got the dream. So at this sushupti level, at the deep level you get the communication with God if you know how to go in and come out fully aware. But if you get confused with supraconscious or subconscious areas or if you start, your chitta i (Attention) is not so clear-cut, then there can be a big confusion.
Question – How can you compartmentalize? What happens when a person is a realized soul? What is the state? When he is a realized soul, what happens to a man?
Shri Mataji: See, the first thing is to say that "how can we compartmentalize it?" because is the ego and super ego is on two sides. Actually, have you not noticed in our body, everything is a compartment. You see even a cell is a compartment. Everything has a boundary. It's not some sort of a … even the blood has to pass through the channels. It has to go through these arteries. Everything is a compartment. There's nothing like something just left there like a pulp. If it becomes the pulp, you won't exist. So, everything is in compartment. It's ego and super ego are like balloons and they are two balloons which can press each other, which can flow on one side.
Now see the , is placed like this on the left hand side more, and this one on the right hand side is the super ego. Still the ego when it increases in size it starts moving on the right hand side and the super ego, when it starts moving, it starts moving this way. So everything is in a compartment in our body. You are sadly mistaken if you think there's anything is in a pulp, nothing. Or something like a air flowing in. Nothing like that. Everything has a channel. Everything is in a compartment.
Question: I have tried to go into spiritualism in the real sense of the word.
Shri Mataji: Some gentleman has done spiritualism in the real sense of the word, and his health is deteriorating. I have told you already what is the reason for that is – you take to spiritualism out of ignorance. There's no spiritualism. There is no "ism" with God. Spirit cannot be "ismized". So, you take to Sahaja Yoga. Become your Spirit. You cannot "ism" it. That's one thing you cannot "ism." You can have "isms" in everything. But Spirit is detached. It cannot be put into "isms." So those who say "spiritualism" must know they have done wrong. All right? You come to Sahaja Yoga and forget it. I know I am sorry for that. You are misled but God is there and Spirit is there. In Sahaja Yoga we promise you that. Whatever mistakes you have done, it can be corrected.
I would say that whatever I said today, you must take the tape and listen to it at home. I've said all these things already. But your attention should have been there. Now you take a tape from these people. Listen to it. I've said the same thing which you are telling – that these are the problems of a big person who goes to these things and how he gets into problems. All right? So then you come to Sahaja Yoga. I know you are a seeker. And, if you are a seeker, that will be given to you. That's your right to have it.
May God bless you.

"Booked here due to the free shuttle to the airport. Once we arrived we found that the shuttle had limited hours and started at 6:00am and we needed to be at the airport by 6:00 am. Shuttle driver was at the counter and said "sorry can't help you". We did not bother to check in and the 8 other guests that we were travelling with also left to find another hotel to stay in. The front desk service was not helpful or welcoming and did not seem at all disappointed that they lost the business. Went down the road to the Comfort Inn where we gots rooms, a free shuttle to the airport, friendly service AND it cost less."

Assuming you have two developers working on a project locally on their laptops (A and B). They each have working copies of the SVN repo, and they're coding away in VS. Each one has a fully-functioning copy of the app. They commit back to SVN at every stopping point.
You have an integration/test server (C) which has another working copy which is updated whenever you want to test.
You also have production server (D) which has a post-build xcopy from C.
Say the code is a Web Application Project, so it requires an explicit build (as opposed to a Web Site Project which just takes the source code and builds on-the-fly).
How do you manage this on the integration server (C)?
If the developers build on their machines (A and B), then push the DLLs to the integration server (C)...this won't work, because the integration server has to take code from both of them and develop a common DLL. So, all the source code has to get to the integration server (C), be built there, and just the required files and DLL pushed to production (D).
How do you manage the build on the integration server (C)? Do you have a timed build from the command line? Do you install VS on the integration server (C) and build that way? If doing it from the command line, how to do manage the required references and other settings that VS normally manages in a CSPRJ or an SLN file?

Anthony Siracusa: Working together for facilities paying off
Memphis-area bicyclists have much to be thankful for.
Since July, the number of bike paths and bike lanes in Memphis has grown tremendously. The opening of the Shelby Farms Greenline in October 2010 meant more families could enjoy bicycle riding together in the heart of Memphis.
The opening of a new paved trail at the eastern end of the Shelby Farms Greenline linked trail users traveling from the Binghamton neighborhood to the center of one of America's largest urban parks, Shelby Farms.
The completion of a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge across the Wolf River, a bridge tied into the recently expanded Wolf River Greenway, links users to the Shady Grove bicycle lanes on the south and Shelby Farms Park on the north. A new path next to Farm Road means riders can now pedal to Shelby Farms Park without ever actually riding on Farm Road.
The new paved path leading to Shelby Farms from the Wolf River also connects users to a network of trails around Agricenter International, the Wolf River Trails in the Lucius Burch Natural Area and a network of bike lanes in Germantown.
Inside the I-240 loop, the creation of bicycle lanes on Southern Avenue now means University of Memphis students can ride in lanes designed specifically for bicycles all the way to Audubon Park on the east and onward to Cooper-Young in the west.
While widely celebrated, the Shelby Farms Greenline was not a part of Memphis' long-term transportation plan. It was the result of committed citizens working together to create nonmotorized access to Shelby Farms. The new bicycle lanes on Southern Avenue, the first of 55 miles to be completed by 2014, were the product of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus dollars committed by Memphis Mayor AC Wharton to bicycle lanes in Memphis.
To ensure that the best facilities continue to be implemented here, the city of Memphis and the Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization's bikeways and pedestrian coordinator, Kyle Wagenschutz, want to gather citizen input on future projects.
"We had over 70 people attend last month's (planning) meeting," said Wagenschutz, "and we got some great feedback and ideas for expanding our region's greenway and trail network."
"We are now gearing up for our second meeting that will focus on pedestrian and bicycle issues. During this process, we will be getting public input on ... what we, as a region, want to accomplish in terms of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and support programs."
The planning meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Church Health Center Wellness, 1115 Union, in Conference Rooms A and B. Wagenschutz says he hopes the meeting will provide a community forum for citizens from across the Memphis metropolitan region to share their vision of a Memphis that walks and bikes more often.

Special Coverage
North American Int'l Auto Show
DETROIT – Johnson Controls Inc., the world's largest supplier of lead-acid automotive starter batteries, says it will have the first plant in the U.S. to produce lithium-ion batteries for hybrid-electric and full-electric vehicles, beginning this summer.
Located in Holland, MI, the new plant is expected to produce 15 million cells when it achieves full production, says Alex Molinaroli, president for JCI's Power Solutions division, at a press conference at the North American International Auto Show here.
In addition, JCI plans to open a second Li-ion facility in North America, but the location has not yet been decided, Molinaroli says.
For the time being, all of JCI's Li-ion batteries for light vehicles come from a factory in Nersac, France. Initial customers are BMW AG, Daimler AG and Ford Motor Co., which uses the batteries in its electric versions of the Transit Connect small commercial vehicle.
Although demand for energy-dense Li-ion cells is robust, conventional lead-acid batteries continue to provide electrical power for the vast majority of vehicles worldwide.
JCI has 35 manufacturing facilities globally supplying more than a third of the world's lead-acid batteries to auto makers and aftermarket retailers.
China remains a market with tremendous potential for lead-acid battery production. JCI's first plant in Shanghai soon will be joined by new facilities in Changxing in eastern China, with capacity for 8 million batteries, and Chongqing in the middle of the country, with capacity for 6 million units.
"As OEM customers increase their vehicle production and the aftermarket grows, JCI is making investments to be a leader long term," Molinaroli says.
"In the next three years, we will grow from a single plant in Shanghai today to three producing more than 18 million automotive batteries annually. The stated objective is to produce 30 million batteries in China by 2016."
With its battery expertise, JCI is becoming entrenched in the market for fuel-saving start/stop technology, already employed on hybrid-electric vehicles in the U.S. and on millions of non-hybrid vehicles in Europe.
The technology allows the engine to shut off when the vehicle comes to a stop – at a red light, for instance – then restart immediately when the accelerator is depressed. The technology can reduce fuel consumption and emissions up to 12%, Molinaroli says.
JCI supplies nearly a million start/stop batteries annually, the vast majority of them for Europe.
"Our plan is to invest over $350 million in start/stop over the next five years, including adding capacity here in the U.S." Molinaroli says. "In that timeframe we estimate the total market will grow to 20 million start/stop batteries annually. In Europe, alone, we expect the market to reach 70% of all new vehicles."
The system can use a slightly altered battery that still uses basic lead-acid chemistry, but a unique alternator is required, he says.
Although auto makers and suppliers have said for years that start/stop is coming to the U.S., Molinaroli says this time the predictions are for real, nudged along by the corporate average fuel economy mandate of 35.5 mpg by 2016.
"It's coming," he says. "Now we're actually building a plant, and we have production contracts."
Also at the Detroit show, JCI displays its ie:3 concept car, an all-electric 5-passenger hatchback that employs flexible seating; polypropylene with wheat straw on the lower instrument panel; and innovative 3D mesh on the door trim, center console and upper instrument panel, reducing weight up to 20%.
Another weight savings stems from the elimination of speakers for the audio system. Instead, several transducers embedded in the headliner allow high-fidelity sound to cascade from the ceiling.

Mark Millar to Consult on Marvel Films for 20th Century Fox
Marking an expanded commitment to some of its most important franchises, Twentieth Century Fox has brought on comics superstar Mark Millar to serve as a creative consultant on the studio's upcoming projects based on Marvel Comics properties.
Millar wrote several celebrated Marvel books such as The Ultimates, Civil War and Wolverine: Old Man Logan, before moving on to found Millarworld (millarworld.tv), where he continues to develop existing film franchise titLes Wanted and Kick-Ass, as well as newer comic properties The Secret Service, Superior, and Nemesis - the latter also in development at Fox. Millar will work with Fox on developing new avenues for its "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" tentpoles.
Commented TCF production president Emma Watts: "We are excited to be working with Mark. In addition to his groundbreaking Marvel work, he is simply one of the most original voices in comics today and will be an invaluable resource to us and to our filmmakers as we look for fresh opportunities to innovate within our shared Marvel universe."
Upcoming for the studio is THE WOLVERINE, starring Hugh Jackman, directed by James Mangold; X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, helmed by Matthew Vaughn; and a reboot of "FANTASTIC FOUR, to be directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle).
"As someone who has spent his entire life obsessed with both comic-books and movies, this is essentially my dream gig as it's a unique combination of both," stated Millar. "I spent ten years working at Marvel and am really happy with the work I did on the comic side of things so the idea of working with these characters now in a brand New Medium is enormously exciting for me. I really like the Fox team, love this bold new direction they have for their franchises and am proud to be working alongside some of modern cinema's biggest talents. James Mangold is incredible, Matthew Vaughn's one of my closest pals and Josh Trank gave us, in my opinion, one of the greatest superhero movies of the last decade with Chronicle. The invitation to join this crew was maybe the coolest phone-call I've ever had."

Security QA for Forgotten Password
This is an old revision of the document!
Have you ever noticed that some websites require you to supply them with a security question and answer for your account? If you forget your password, you are required to provide those credentials in order to retrieve a new password. This protects customer information and ensures that the original creator of the account will always have a way of getting their account back (if their account had been hacked/stolen).
In this tutorial, I'm going to explain how to add those two fields to the registration page and require them to be provided on the forgot password page - where they the information will be validated.
Please open the following files, as we will be working with them: /app/code/core/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php - This controls all of the functions that we need to edit. /app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/forgotpassword.phtml - This is the template file for the forgot password page. /app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/customer/form/register.phtml - this is the template file for the register page.
Alright, first things first. We will start by adding the Security Question and Answer fields to the registration page. We will also have to create a new attribute for the two fields.
At the top of register.phtml, add the following code:
- <?php
- $setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
- // Set up the Security Question Attribute
- $AttrCode = 'squestion';
- $settings = array (
- 'position' => 1,
- 'is_required'=> 1
- );
- // Set up the Security Answer Attribute
- $AttrCode2 = 'sanswer';
- $settings2 = array (
- 'position' => 1,
- 'is_required'=> 1
- );
- // Adds both attributes
- $setup->addAttribute('1', $AttrCode, $settings);
- $setup->addAttribute('1', $AttrCode2, $settings2);
- ?>
Now, navigate your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/customer/account/create/ By navigating to this page, you have executed the php code we just added to the register.phtml file. Your attributes are now added. Please remove or comment out the code we previously added to the register.phtml file (it is no longer needed).
In register.phtml, navigate near Line 58. You should see this line of code:
-

Immediately after this line, add the following block of code:
-

Please type in your security question/answer for retrieving your password.

-

-

-

- <?php echo $this->__('Security Question') ?> *

- <select id="squestion" name="squestion" title="<?php echo $this->__('Security Question') ?>" class="required-entry validate-select">
- <option value="What is the name of your dog?">What is the name of your dog?</option>
- <option value="What is the name of your favorite teacher?">What is the name of your favorite teacher?</option>
- <option value="What is your maiden name?">What is your maiden name?</option>
- <option value="In what city were you born?">In what city were you born?</option>
- <option value="What is your favorite food?">What is your favorite food?</option>
- </select>
-

-

- <?php echo $this->__('Security Answer') ?> *

- <input type="text" name="sanswer" id="sanswer" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getFormData()->getSecurityAnswer()) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Security Answer') ?>" class="required-entry input-text" />

Nobody saw this coming.
The Lakers second string — Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry, Wesley Johnson, Jodie Meeks and Jordan Hill — put up 41 points on 65.2 percent shooting, with an off-the-charts offensive rating of 154.6 points per 100 possessions in the fourth quarter. They took a close opening night game and blew it wide open.

Here is some wip done in super sculpey. I want to paint it before I assemble the whole thing. I got hit in the eye while working on it and am now blind in my right eye, which makes fine 3d work alot harder! Ill finish it sooner or later. Needs painting, and the painted bits need finishing.

Wow. Those look like a whole lotta orc-y fun!
October 4th, 2005 #8
Yeah well Orcs is best. Anyway I think much of CONCEPTS in 3D & SCULPTURE gets orc submissions. I mean, I know its not that origional and all that but I think working with an existing idea lets you focus your art more. The idea of a blank sheet is quite imposing. If you can make ANYTHING then its often hard to focus on what it is you want to produce. Having a theme like "orc" can stimulate creativity. I make my models for warhammer. It gives me a reason and a theme. It means I can get out my models and PLAY with them too, which is one of the reasons for making dolls, no?
October 4th, 2005 #9
Excellent work!
October 4th, 2005 #10
Im-m-m-mpressed......but am wondering-- is your eye damage permanent?!?!? Damn i'm really sorry that's awful. since we do see in 3D i understand that that might make things a bit more difficult!
one thing i might suggest is to perhaps make your color pallette a little bit more limited.... the entire sculpt as a whole would be more consistent i thinik.
thanks for putting these bad boys up.
October 5th, 2005 #11
I mean I do try to limit my palete. For example I try never to use black when painting. I prefer to use a dark green or brown for shading. I think as well that when painting models you can use more colours on a model if you use the same colour for shading/highlighting. Like you can shade green, blue or even red with dark green.

We confess we've been a bit confused all along about why there was a big-deal celebrity roast scheduled for Mario Batali: Aren't these sorts of things usually reserved for comedians? We always thought so. But somehow last night's for-charity skewering of the chubby chef at Capitale became one of the big high-profile parties of the week. Roasters included Sarah Silverman, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and Anthony Bourdain. Josh Ozersky was there, too, and he reports the night's best jibes at Grub Street.

The Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, CT, provides young visitors with learning opportunities through its interactive and accessible exhibits and programs.
Take a ride on the Solar Express, a train powered by the sun.
In April 2014, Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk, CT celebrated a milestone by welcoming its 3 millionth visitor. The museum, which opened its doors in March 2000, offers a rich experience for families with children ages newborn to 10. Over the last 14 years, the museum has matured into a cultural, educational, and civic-minded destination that draws more than 250,000 visitors a year from the tri-state area.
The museum's garden offers visitors a chance to explore and enjoy the natural world through hands-on activities.
Within 52,000 square feet, the museum offers five galleries that feature hands-on exhibits, including a space dedicated to hosting a rotating special exhibit from other museums and organizations across the country. There's also a multimedia gallery with an immersive high-definition screen, a Family and Teacher Resource Center, and a lush community garden.
Upon entering the museum, the first exhibit children encounter is the ColorCoaster. Adults have trouble nudging their charges away from the interactive 27-foot-tall kinetic sculpture that demonstrates energy, motion, gravity, color, and light.
Express Yourself allows children to explore social and emotional learning. They can act out feelings on camera or learn about cooperation while successfully moving a ball through a maze with the help of other visitors.
Children learn the power of wind and water in the Energy Lab section, which explains the vital importance these resources will play in the future.
Tot Town was inspired by the latest research in early childhood development and play. The exhibit is designed to foster learning and literacy in children ages newborn to 36 months.
Little carpenters will find much to do in Build-It!, a two-story house that lets children help construct walls, paint with brushes and rollers, and apply carpeting and wallpaper.
The museum is LEED Gold-certified and features solar panels, a green roof, a wind turbine, and LED lighting. Families can take a ride on the Solar Express, a trackless train powered by the sun that takes you on a 7- to 10-minute tour through nearby Mathews Park.
The museum is front and center in community outreach through its Open Arms initiative, which offers accessibility to all visitors regardless of financial, language, or special needs barriers. As part of the initiative, Get Into It! Free offers free admission from 5-8pm on the first Thursday of each month. Accessibility Day grants free admission to children with special needs and their families.
You may need a passport when you visit because each month the museum's Around the World Performance and Creative series offers cultural and artistic activities related to that month's featured country. For August the country is Chile, and you'll find out why the Chilean pig has only three legs.
BooZoo's Canine Carnival
Winter: During the Winter Wonderland Children's Ball in February, families dance amidst wintry décor that includes a play-sized igloo, a giant-size snow globe, and myriad costumed characters.
Spring: In April, at the Egg-Straordinary Egg-Stravaganza, visitors 'crack up' over egg roll races, egg-flipping contests, and egg balancing.
Summer: The museum goes to the dogs in June during BooZoo's Canine Carnival. Dogs are given the royal treatment when they bob for doggie treats, visit the dog wash and day spa, or take part in a doggie pageant.
Fall: In September it's Worldwide Day of Play, and Stepping Stones celebrates with free admission all day. The year wraps up in October with Monster Mash, a kid-friendly costume party featuring not-so-scary activities such as a scavenger hunt and costume competition.
Kids can dress in their Halloween best for Monster Mash in October
Address: Stepping Stones Museum for Children, 303 West Ave., Norwalk, CT
Hours: 10am-5pm daily (closed Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day)
Admission: $15; free for children younger than 1
