Creative Puns – Compliments of Ga-Ga
Most human beings with an email account would probably say what I'm about to say: I'm not a big fan of email forwards. While many of them are funny, cute, funny, cute, etc., most of the time I steer clear of reading them because I have more pressing things on my plate. Like laundry. Cooking dinner. Refereeing Ultimate Fighting matches in my living room.
I make an exception for email forwards that come from my grandmother Ga-Ga. The things she sends are almost always worth reading.
Here's one she sent this morning. It made me chuckle.
Read through these with your kids, and explain the ones they might not understand.
(Or, have them explain the ones that YOU might not understand! Education is a two-way street, man.)
Creative Puns for Smart Minds
1. The roundest knight at King Arthur's Round Table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated in an algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.
5. The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.
6. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
7. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
8. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
9. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
11. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
12. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
13. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other, "You stay here, I'll go on a head."
14. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
15. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said, "Keep off the Grass."
16. A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was, a nurse said, "No change yet."
17. A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.
19. The short fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.
20. The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
21 A backward poet writes inverse.
22. In a democracy, it's your vote that counts. In feudalism, it's your count that votes.
23. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.
24. Don't join dangerous cults, practice safe sects!

Yesterday I was buying a back bacon on a bun (I think you guys call it Canadian Bacon) and I coughed. The guy serving me said, "Oh, do you have swine flu?" I smiled and said, "No." He said, "Too bad, I have some oinkment for that".
Very punny!

corny in IA On Sunday, June 7 at 8:53 am
As a daughter of an English teacher(one who LOVES puns), I was brought up on puns. These were very cute & creative. Ga Ga is one neat lady- I bet you love every moment with her!
Thunja On Sunday, June 7 at 8:54 am
your Gaga is gorgeous.
karen On Sunday, June 7 at 8:55 am
Your GaGa seems to be a beautiful person inside and out.
Bridget On Sunday, June 7 at 8:57 am
Thanks! Love the puns. Just what I needed to brighten my day.
kath On Sunday, June 7 at 8:58 am
I have to share my favourite pun/joke
Fred walks into the doctor's office one day and says to the
doctor, "Doc, I don't understand what's going on with me.
It's really strange, sometimes I feel like a teepee, and sometimes I feel like a wigwam."
To which the doctor says "I wouldn't worry about it, Fred, you're just two tents."
cracks me up every time!
Amanda On Sunday, June 7 at 9:01 am
My favorite pun makes me laugh every single time I see it. Its a billboard on a highway in Wisconsin for a local water treament facility.
We have a lot of hard water around here, or water with high mineral content. We treat that with reverse osmosis, which essentially removes all the ions, therefore creating 'soft' water. Soft water is prefferable.
Anywho, the sign reads:
"You can live without soft water, but it will be hard."
I laugh even just typing that out. And then I laugh at myself cause I realize how goofy I am and that no one will think that is funny but me.
God bless!
Mooshie On Sunday, June 7 at 9:03 am
Gaga is a Pretty Woman. Thanks for the laughs!
marewood On Sunday, June 7 at 9:03 am

Thanks for sharing these wonderful puns from the original "Lady Ga-Ga"!
Barb 1230 On Sunday, June 7 at 9:11 am
Those are actually pretty funny and cute. I'll have to "forward" *gasp* them on! BTW, did Ga-Ga get #15?
Dana On Sunday, June 7 at 9:11 am
You know what I think it cutest about this whole thing… is that Ga-Ga has an email account and actively uses it…LOLOL!
Dana in Utah
Sandie On Sunday, June 7 at 9:14 am
I dislike forwards also. To the point that I didn't read Ga Ga's forward. Sorry, but I'm off to clean the basement. Bet Ga Ga's forward is better entertainment than that.
Maureen On Sunday, June 7 at 9:14 am
Your Ga-Ga is one beautiful and smart lady! A clever sense of humor is very attractive. Thanks for a lively start to the day!
Dana On Sunday, June 7 at 9:14 am
You know what I think it cutest about this whole thing… is that Ga-Ga has an email address and actually uses it…LOL!

Nikki H On Sunday, June 7 at 9:17 am
Yes, we are still in school. Yes, the students should be "kept busy" participating in "meaningful" assignments. They took up our books 2 weeks ago. I think I'll use these tomorrow. Thanks, Ree & Ga-Ga.
Amy On Sunday, June 7 at 9:18 am
I have a degree in linguistics and for one of my classes, we analyzed #10 LIKE CRAZY. It's a good exercise in syntax trees.
Thank you for sharing to you and to others who put their favorite puns in the comments; those are funny, too!
Baking and Mistaking On Sunday, June 7 at 9:21 am
Ha – I've seen most of these before, probably from all the Fwd emails my grandmother sends me!
meanie On Sunday, June 7 at 9:22 am

Hee! 14 and 24 were my favorites, but they were all great. Ga-Ga rocks….

Jana Maughan On Sunday, June 7 at 9:32 am
Some of these I had heard before, but the ones I hadn't made me laugh. A good way to start out a busy day, thanks!
Jennie On Sunday, June 7 at 9:34 am
Those were great…math destruction!…my hubby and I LOVE puns and we have an ongoing pun rivalry in our general conversations. Hope you don't mind if I share a pun piece he and I created after going to EPCOT. I needed something to do on the plane to keep my mind off the impending crash: http://scribblesandscripts.blogspot.com/2008/02/for-your-amusement-or-why-we-ate-what.html
Misty On Sunday, June 7 at 9:35 am

Kathy Second Fiddle On Sunday, June 7 at 9:50 am
These are all sooo Punny!
My husbands family is punny. At first I thought I was really stupid… and then I began to get the hang of it. (I still wonder somedays if they aren't all smarter than me because my brain Just doesn't run that way)
Maureen On Sunday, June 7 at 9:50 am
These were great fun. Your Ga-Ga may forward me anytime. I will read them for sure. What great wit. Thanks for sharing them and your Ga-Ga with us Miss Ree.. Have a terrific day.
This may double up, first comment disappearred somewhere in cyber space.

That's my favorite, and I think the most clever. Thanks to Miss Erskine, my 10th grade English teacher in Virginia Beach.

Susan On Sunday, June 7 at 10:36 am
I was lured into your Home Schooling section by the lovely picture of your Ga-Ga, but I'm learning she not just a pretty face!
StuffCooksWant On Sunday, June 7 at 10:37 am
Pretty punny! Thanks for the chuckles. I usually delete the forwarded email too… I especially despise the ones that tell me that I'm going to have bad luck or lose all my friends if I don't pass it along to 20 of my best friends, including the "friend" that sent it to me. With my friends, I'm more likely to lose them all if I DO forward inane email on.
Ubah On Sunday, June 7 at 10:37 am
Too funny Ree. Thank you for the groans.

Btw, nice puns! Wonder who came up with the silk tie one
Charlene On Sunday, June 7 at 10:55 am
Har Har. Seen those recently but still cute. I also rarely read the forwarded emails. Just want to say that your Ga Ga is a beautiful lady!
Meg On Sunday, June 7 at 10:56 am
That last one is a total knee slapper!
Gee On Sunday, June 7 at 10:58 am
HA HA HA! i got this from GaGa also, and know she will be thrilled that you saw fit to blog them! They ARE unusually clever and a great idea to see whether children can "get" them!
Happy Sunday!!

Why is it we almost feel we're being rude when we don't read forwards. Sighhhhhhhhhhhh
Kate On Sunday, June 7 at 11:22 am
That's a great photo of Ga-Ga. Such a fashionista!
Mary@Holy Mackerel On Sunday, June 7 at 11:24 am

JudyK On Sunday, June 7 at 11:50 am
I've heard that the pun is the lowest form of humor. Can't say that I agree with that. These are very funny! Cherish your grandmother and her wonderful sense of humor!
carolyn On Sunday, June 7 at 11:51 am

I love these! There is nothing better than a good groaner. Can I get on Ga-Ga's forward list?
Sandi On Sunday, June 7 at 12:37 pm
Love the puns! My dad's family is fond of puns, and I tend to hear them even when they aren't intended. For example, my grandmother slipped coming up the steps and fell, landing on her backside. She was okay but a little sore. My aunt asked if she wanted some Aspercreme and I started laughing. My aunt gave me a scolding look until I explained that I thought it was a pun, then delicately decoded it for Grandma. "She thought I was offering you something to put on your Ass-p."

Crusaders In Patriot League Openers
Holy Cross will begin its 26th season of play in the Patriot League when it faces Colgate on Sept. 10. The Crusaders own an all-time mark of 16-9 in their opening Patriot League contest of the season, but they were defeated by Georgetown 17-7 last year. Prior to that, Holy Cross had won its conference opener in each of the previous five seasons, defeating Georgetown every time (48-6 in 2005, 26-13 in 2006, 55-0 in 2007, 38-14 in 2008 and 20-7 in 2009). The Crusaders also stand 10-3 in conference openers over the last 12 seasons, with the only other losses during that span coming against Lehigh (38-20 in 2003) and Fordham (42-35 in 2004).
Holy Cross Draws Huge Crowd For Season Opener
During the season-opening game against Massachusetts on Sept. 1, a total of 15,942 fans showed up at Fitton Field. That marked the largest home attendance for the Crusaders since Oct. 20, 1990, when a crowd of 17,848 was on hand to watch Holy Cross defeat Lehigh 34-22. The Crusaders have played in front of numerous home crowds of over 25,000 in their history, prior to the stadium renovation in 1986 which reduced the seating capacity to 23,500. The largest unofficial attendance at Fitton Field was 27,000 for the Holy Cross-Brown game on Nov. 11, 1938.
Crusaders Look To Post Another Winning Season
In 2011, Holy Cross will attempt to finish with a winning record for the seventh year in a row. The Crusaders concluded the 2010 season with an overall mark of 6-5, after going 9-3 in 2009 (marking only the ninth time the school history the team has won at least nine games). Holy Cross previously went 7-4 in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and its 36-20 mark over the last five seasons is its best in a five-year span since going 39-15-1 from 1989-1993. Holy Cross also posted a winning record in 2005 (6-5), and has an overall mark of 42-25 since the beginning of the 2005 campaign. This marks the first time the Crusaders have posted six straight winning seasons since finishing with a winning mark in seven straight years from 1986-1992.
Fenner Leads Secondary
Senior cornerback Chandler Fenner (Virginia Beach, Va.) is once again among the top defensive backs in the Patriot League in 2011. During the season opener against Massachusetts, he totaled four tackles and a career-high three pass breakups. Last season, Fenner earned first team All-Patriot League honors after playing in all 11 games with 10 starts. He ranked fifth on the team and 29th in the Patriot League with 58 total tackles, including 51 solo stops, one quarterback sack and two tackles for loss. Fenner also recorded four pass breakups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a blocked punt. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Fenner has now totaled 94 tackles, two forced fumbles and seven pass breakups in 34 games played.
Taggart Shines At Quarterback
Senior quarterback Ryan Taggart (Bedford, Texas) is in his second year as the starter for the Crusaders in 2011. During the season opener against Massachusetts, Taggart hit on 23 of 44 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for 15 yards and a score on nine carries. Last year, he connected on 185 of 317 passes for 1,899 yards and 14 touchdowns, in addition to ranking second on the team in rushing with 284 yards and five scores on 85 carries. During last season's victory at Lafayette, Taggart completed 15 of 31 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing 10 times for 41 yards and two scores. Against Lehigh in 2010, he hit on 17 of 31 attempts for 178 yards and a touchdown. Taggart also played well at Colgate last year, totaling 98 passing yards and 35 rushing yards, including a game-winning 14-yard touchdown pass with 5.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Some of his other top performances last season came against Brown (19 of 29 for 196 yards and two scores), Fordham (27 of 37 for 289 yards and a touchdown, plus 75 rushing yards and a score) and Howard (17 of 29 for 186 yards and three touchdowns). During his career with the Crusaders, Taggart has now completed 210 of 363 passes for 2,148 yards and 15 touchdowns, in addition to rushing for 306 yards and six scores on 97 carries.
Defending The Home Turf
Holy Cross has enjoyed great success at Fitton Field over the years. The Crusaders, who played their first game at Fitton Field in 1903, have posted an all-time home mark of 363-168-27 (.675). From Oct. 11, 2008-Oct. 9, 2010, Holy Cross had a streak of 13 straight victories at home. The Crusaders had a perfect 6-0 mark at Fitton Field in 2009, and finished the 2010 campaign with a winning record at home for the fifth straight season. Fitton Field is the second-oldest stadium still used for Division I college football, behind only Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania (opened in 1895).
The Last Meeting With Colgate
Bill Edger caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Taggart with 5.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, to break a 24-24 tie and lift Holy Cross to a 31-24 victory over Colgate at Andy Kerr Field on Oct. 23, 2010. The Crusaders began their final drive with just 1:03 remaining in the fourth quarter at their own 24-yard line. After Taggart picked up two first downs early in the drive with rushes for 12 and nine yards, Holy Cross had first and 10 at the Colgate 39-yard line. Taggart then threw a 26-yard pass to Freddie Santana with less than 20 seconds to go, giving the Crusaders another first down at the 13-yard line and setting up the game-winning touchdown. Holy Cross had opened the game by taking a 7-0 lead at the 11:19 mark of the first quarter on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Mark Tolzien to Santana. The Crusaders then increased their lead to 10-0 on a 22-yard field goal from Rob Dornfried. The Raiders responded with a 35-yard touchdown run by Nate Eachus later in the first quarter, but Andrew Zitnik returned the ensuing kickoff 93 yards for a score to put Holy Cross back up by 10 points, 17-7. The Crusaders would eventually take a 24-7 lead into the locker room, thanks to a seven-yard touchdown pass from Tolzien to Luke Chmielinski. Colgate came back in the third quarter with a one-yard scoring run by Eachus, then trimmed the lead to 24-16 when Lamont Sonds sacked Tolzien in the end zone for a safety. The Raiders eventually tied the score at 24-24, with a five-yard touchdown strike from Greg Sullivan to Doug Rosnick at the 6:37-mark of the fourth quarter, followed by a two-point conversion pass from Sullivan to Rosnick. But after neither team scored on its next possession, Holy Cross drove down the field to score the winning touchdown.
Martin & Otis Lead Linebackers
Senior linebacker C.J. Martin (Plano, Texas) and senior linebacker Ricky Otis (Cleves, Ohio) are once again key parts of the Holy Cross defense in 2011. During the season opener against Massachusetts, Otis totaled 10 tackles with two tackles for loss. Last season, he led the team with 108 total tackles and earned first team All-Patriot League honors, despite missing two games due to injury. Otis led the team with 12 total tackles during the victory over Bucknell in the 2010 season finale, marking the sixth time last year he reached double-figures in tackles. Previously in 2010 at Lafayette, he set a new career-high with 17 total tackles. Some of Otis' other top games last season came against Lehigh (14 tackles with a forced fumble), Colgate (10 tackles), Dartmouth (10 tackles and a fumble recovery), Georgetown (16 tackles and a pass breakup) and Howard (12 tackles and a tackle for loss). Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Otis now has 145 total tackles, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakups. Martin recorded six total tackles against Massachusetts in the season opener. He ranked second on the team with 95 total tackles last year, including 61 solo stops and two tackles for loss. During last season's Bucknell game, Martin made three tackles and intercepted a pass. Earlier in 2010 at Lafayette, he reached double-figures in tackles for the fourth time on the season by recording 14 total stops. A few of Martin's other top performances last year came against Lehigh (eight tackles with one tackle for loss and an interception), Colgate (10 tackles), Georgetown (12 tackles, two pass breakups and a forced fumble) and Massachusetts (18 tackles). Over the course of his collegiate career, Martin has now recorded 134 tackles, four tackles for loss, two interceptions and three pass breakups.
Offensive Line Returns Three Starters
Holy Cross returns three starters to an offensive line which looks to be one of the most dominating units in the Patriot League this year. In 2010, the line allowed just 17 sacks while the team attempted 418 passes (just one sack for every 25.6 times the team has dropped back to pass). Returning starters for the Crusaders include senior Mike McCabe (Watertown, Conn.) at left tackle, senior Sean Whited (Canton, Ohio) at center and junior Kyle Pedretty (Dunedin, Fla.) at right tackle. McCabe has been named All-Patriot League in each of the last two seasons, and has played in 37 career games with 26 starts. Whited has started nine times with 13 career games played, and Pedretty has played in 12 career games with 12 starts. Those three have been joined in the starting lineup by senior Andrew Jameson (Brockton, Mass.) at right guard and junior Casey Bessemer (Jacksonville Beach, Fla.) at left guard.
Schneider Shines At Tight End
Senior tight end Alex Schneider (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) will once again be a key part of the Holy Cross passing game in 2011. In 11 games played last season, he ranked fourth on the team with 30 receptions for 217 yards and a score. During the 2010 victory over Fordham, Schneider totaled four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. An All-Patriot League selection in each of the last two years, Schneider finished the 2009 campaign ranked fourth on the team with 33 receptions for 275 yards, while his six touchdown catches were the second-most on the squad. He ranked second among Patriot League tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards in 2009, and finished the 2009 season with a streak of 10 straight games with at least one catch. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Schneider has now totaled 63 catches for 492 yards and seven touchdowns.
Crusaders In The Patriot League
Now in its 26th season of play in the Patriot League, Holy Cross owns an all-time record of 77-61 (.558) in conference action. The Crusaders won the conference championship in 2009, clinching the title with a 28-26 victory over Lafayette to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs. Holy Cross' six Patriot League championships (all of them outright) have come in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2009. The Crusaders are tied for the second-most championships in conference history, behind only Lehigh with nine titles. In 2009, Holy Cross won five Patriot League games for just the fourth time in school history. The Crusaders previously went 5-1 in 2008, while posting 5-0 conference records in 1990 and 1991.
Holy Cross Picked Third In Patriot League Preseason Poll
The 2011 Crusaders have been picked to finish in third place in a preseason poll of the Patriot League's head coaches and sports information directors. In addition, tailback Nate Eachus of Colgate was named the preseason Offensive Player of the Year, while linebacker Mike Groome of Lehigh was chosen as the preseason Defensive Player of the Year.

A two-time Patriot League Coach of the Year (in 2006 and 2009), Tom Gilmore is in his eighth season as the head football coach at Holy Cross in 2011. In 2009, Gilmore led the Crusaders to an overall record of 9-3, the Patriot League championship and a trip to the NCAA playoffs. Also a finalist for the 2009 Eddie Robinson Award, he currently owns an overall record of 45-34 during his time at Holy Cross, including a 42-26 mark since the beginning of the 2005 campaign. Gilmore has led the Crusaders to winning records in six straight seasons, including 7-4 marks in 2006, 2007 and 2008, along with winning streaks of six games (in 2008) and five games (in 2006 and 2009). Two of Gilmore's players, Dominic Randolph (2007, 2008 and 2009) and Steve Silva (2005), have been named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, with Silva also earning first team All-America honors. Gilmore has also led the Crusaders to four victories over ranked opponents, three of which came in 2009. Prior to his time at Holy Cross, Gilmore served as an assistant coach at Lehigh (2000-2003), Dartmouth (1992-1999), Pennsylvania (1986, 1990-1991) and Columbia (1987-1989).

Hi all...it's been a while!
I'm planning a trip to Europe in April 2011, and of course I will finally achieve Disney bingo (until Shanghai opens of course) by visiting Disneyland Paris.
The official site doesn't seem to let me book rooms/packages yet. I'm assuming it is possible 6 months out. Is this the case?
Also, we're planning 3 nights/2 days in the parks. Given that I've been to every other Disney park, is this going to be enough?
Cheers and thanks

I simply could not name this entry anything else. Or could I? First, a bit of background info.

On the 23rd March, 2013, we visited a country. This country is not really a country, but is inside a country. The country it is inside of doesn't really want to be a country, as it wants to be a part of another country. Are you confused yet? Do you have any idea where we went?

The mountain panorama is created from real world elevation data.
The door sign is then created using a CNC mill
Step 1: Tools and materials
You need:
- A CNC milling machine (I've built this one)
- Terraconv
- blender
- Mountain elevation data (I used a segment of the east alps where I live: the "Wettersteingebirge")
- Material to mill the sign in
If your CNC milling machine is not strong enough (as mine):
- some sort of dense foam
- some mold making material (I used natural rubber)
- some pouring mass (I used the ceramics-like pouring mass "ARTIDEE Artestone" )
Step 2: Creating the 3D-Model
In a first step I created a 3D-Model of the elevation data of the mountains I had, so I can work with it in blender.
I used elevation the data from http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html
First open the hgt file with 3dem, then file->save Terragen file.
Open the resulting terragen file TerraConv (might take some time), then export and save.
voila, you've a heightmap:-)
(There might be a simpler, more direct way, but I didn't find any tools for that.)
Now the height map can be imported into blender, by following the steps in this tutorial:
Now choose a view for your panorama, the screenshot in the images shows the panorama I chose (that's basically the panorama you see, from where I live +800 height meters).
I exported the view as another heightmap (from which one can easily create gcode for the cnc mill) by following this tutorial:
(basically it's a shader less rendering, where only the z-axis is used as input)
The result is the last image you see above. It's a height map of the panorama
But i think i might have smoothed (gaussian blur) the greyscale prior to generating the 3d model in Blender from it.
I've only little knowledge of blender, but it might have done some resampling (and therefore smoothing) during the generation of the model Form the greyscale.
In the final image i did some brightness corrections so hat the flowers where not too much elevated and the text was really on top of everything

Ambitious goals, substantial challenges
It is difficult to argue with the University of North Carolina system's ambitious goals to raise the percentage of North Carolinians who have at least a four-year college or university degree.
The UNC Advisory Committee on Strategic Direction thinks we should see to it that 32 percent of our adult residents – between the ages of 25 to 64 – should have a college degree by 2018. Within another seven years, the committee wants to see that percentage tick up aggressively to 37 percent.
We have quite a ways to go. Statewide, the percentage of adults with four-year degrees or better hovers between 26 and 28 percent – different reports reach slightly different conclusions. The U. S. Census Bureau pegs it at 26.5 percent.
Here in the Research Triangle, the commission's numbers might not look all that ambitious. In Durham, 44 percent of adults have bachelor's degrees or higher. And in Orange County, not surprisingly, the number is 54.6 percent – roughly double the state average. In Wake, the percentage is just under 48 percent.
Those numbers, of course, help to underlie the robust economy of the Triangle that, even in the Great Recession, held up better than most. This area's employment opportunities in research, medicine and higher education attract and require a highly educated work force.
But get beyond the Triangle and a handful of other areas such as Charlotte (Mecklenburg has roughly 4 in 10 adults with bachelor's degrees or higher) and the numbers drop substantially.
So, too, the economy in many of those areas craters substantially. Education levels and economic success frequently correlate.
Pushing up our college-graduate percentages is "about the future of North Carolina and being sure that we have a workforce that's prepared for the 21sts century and can meet the economic demands of this state and our business community, and what's our role in trying to make it happen," UNC President Tom Ross said Wednesday.
Ironically, even as officials underscore the need for higher education for more citizens, tuition and fee increases and declining state appropriations in recent years have actually increased the barriers to achieving that education.
Squaring those conflicting directions will be a significant challenge for legislators and educators if we are to achieve the committee's goal of making North Carolina one of the 10 best-educated states in the country.

BRYAN, Texas (AP) The University of Texas and Texas A&M University systems will dedicate a new joint library to house about 1 million books culled from the general and reference holdings of the state's top universities.
The $6.3 million, 18,000-square-foot library will make those materials available for use by other academic and medical institutions.
Previously, the two systems had partnered on high-density library storage at UT's J.J. Pickle Research Campus in Austin that required stricter environmental controls for the preservation of sensitive materials including special collections.
The new facility will help alleviate pressures as campus research libraries continue to add volumes and related resources. The facility will keep the burden of storage costs off the individual campuses in both systems.

Flip 3 Pancakes With 1 Spatula
Flip 3 Pancakes With 1 Spatula is spiral bound for practical use in the kitchen and on book quests in the library. Each lesson is presented in an easy-to-read format. Add-on activities are symbolized according to content area for quick reference.
How do you do it all?
Having six children, ages 19 to 2, I am frequently asked this question. My answer is often as multi-faceted as my life is multi-tasked. Flip 3 Pancakes is the long answer to how I flip many pancakes with one spatula. More specifically, how I teach math and extend lessons to language, social studies, science and life skills, while preparing meals. Immersing my children in learning, engaging their senses and applying skills to life has helped them digest what is presented, internalizing the concepts. In the end, my children have enjoyed eating what they learned.
The kitchen is a living laboratory, demanding curiosity. Cups of water and corn syrup can be measured, heated and transformed into one pound of hard candy. The circular circumference of a pizza can be measured, baked and cut into fractional parts. Cylinders and rectangular prisms sit comfortably on the pantry shelf waiting to be sorted, counted and stacked in geometric sculpture. Children love to experience and experiment with these math wonders. When a child's desire to help is tapped, math skills and life skills can be taught and will be remembered because of the natural inquisitiveness which saturates the kitchen. Children love the kitchen, a perfect place to be immersed in math.
The 85 recipes and additional add-on activities in Flip 3 Pancakes With 1 Spatula have been selected based on the frameworks of mathematical concepts taught to young children between the ages of four and eight. Concrete in their thinking and relational in their learning, these children have unique educational needs. Foundational skills taught, learned and applied to life experiences are remembered. The kitchen is the best place to learn essential math skills.

Audition CS6 Essential Training demonstrates all of the major features of Adobe Audition and prepares sound editors to start enhancing and correcting audio—whether it's music, dialogue, or other sound effects. Author and musician Garrick Chow begins by covering how to import, record, and manage media files, from extracting audio and importing video, to creating a new multitrack session from scratch. The course then dives deep into editing, repairing, and cleaning up audio files, using the Waveform and Multitrack Editors, and the Spectral Frequency Display. It also covers how to use built-in effects, how to mix both stereo and surround audio tracks, and how to work with video projects from Premiere Pro.
It would be great if we could always do our work on the most current and powerful computers available. But the fact is that computers get old, software gets more powerful, and when an older computer meets new software you might have trouble keeping up, especially if it's a content creation program like Audition, where you might have dozens of tracks of audio playing simultaneously as well as effects applied to those tracks that Audition is rendering on the fly. I'm going to switch to fx, and earlier I touched on this Pre-render button that you can see here on each track and also if you're in the Mixer, you'll see it here as well.
It's the same button in both places. Now we saw earlier that some effects take up more processing power than others. For example, I'll add in an effect to this guitar track, I'll choose Reverb > Full Reverb. And again, I'm getting this message telling me that the selected effect might not be suitable for real-time playback because it's either CPU-intensive or high-latency. If I Click OK it adds it, but I can see that it's in red here. Now, I'm working on a relatively fast computer, and it's not going to have a problem rendering this effect. But if you are noticing performance issues in your playback, you can Click the Pre-render button.
Let's go ahead and close this for a moment. When you Pre-render an effect, Audition creates a temporary WAV file of the track with all the effects applied, and it plays that track when you listen to the mix. That way, you don't have to spent CPU power processing the effects on the fly each time. Now, you might have noticed that a little Progress Meter showed up right next to the track name while it was doing the rendering. Each time you make a change to the track, whether it's by adding another effect or simply moving the clip--let me just drag this to the right a little bit. You can see it's now rewriting the track, and that lets you know that Audition is creating that WAV file each time.
I'll move it back and you'll see it render again. There it goes. But each time it does this every change you make will result in Audition creating a new version of that temporary WAV file. Again, if you have a relatively modern and fast computer, you might not have to worry about this. But if things are a bit sluggish for you, you can give Pre-rendering a try. As you saw it takes a couple of seconds for the WAV file to be written and a lot of that depends on how long a particular track is. But Pre-rendering should solve any playback issues you may have. Now if you find you no longer need pre-rendering-- maybe you remove the effect altogether-- it's a simple matter to just turn this off, so Audition isn't writing a new temporary file each time you make a change to the track.

The Volkswagen Scirocco has been brought back from the dead after being buried for many years. It was a popular model for VW seeing two generations and almost 800,000 units sold between 1974 and 1992. The Mark I and II models sold well because in contrast to many competitors at the time it was an affordable coupe with everyday utility, sharp styling and front-wheel powered making it safe and easy to drive.
Cult status became assured in 1978 when a Mark I Scirocco made a cameo appearance in George Romero's zombie flick Dawn of the Dead. In the film four survivors use the car as a battering ram to evade the undead hordes. Hit the fast forward button to 2009 and VW has recycled its once effective formula with the recently released Mark III model. But does the reincarnated Scirocco have what it takes to win over fans and splatter zombies?
The new Scirocco is available in NZ with a choice of two engines: the 2.0-litre turbo unit shared with the current Golf GTI and a 1.4 TSI. Our tested vehicle sported the 1.4-litre unit that might sound inadequate when compared to its larger capacity sibling but it's a fascinating power plant and may be the pick of the two. You see, Dawn of the Dead failed to scoop any film awards back in 1978 by comparison the 1.4 TSI motor has recently been lavished with the International Engine of the Year award for 2009 and with good reason.
The 1.4 TSI is a technical wonder and is twin-charged using both a turbocharger and a supercharger to put out 118kW of go. This will take it from standing to 100 kph in 8 seconds flat, less than a second slower than its bigger-engined brother (7.1 sec). What's more impressive is that the full compliment of 240Nm of torque is available from 1500-4500 rpm. The motor pulls keenly throughout the range and loves to be worked hard with a true turbo peak to the acceleration. What's even more impressive is that while it can act like a performance motor it will still return a 6.4l/100km fuel economy. Still not impressed? Well by comparison the current Toyota Yaris 1.3-litre motor has just 63kW of power and returns a fuel economy of 6.5L/100km. So next time zombies are looking for top brains to eat they should head straight to Volkswagen HQ because the smart engineers there would certainly make for a tasty dish.
A killer engine needs to be mated with a worthy transmission and this comes courtesy of a 7-spd DSG box. Nearly as cutting-edge as the motor the DSG is in essence an automated manual transmission that uses a dual-clutch system. When a gear is in use the next available gear is already engaged and ready this makes for lightening fast changes and seamless power delivery under throttle. The DSG is a strong tag-team partner for the TSI motor drawing out every drop of power and doing it with little fuss.
In Dawn of the Dead survivors chose the Scirocco not just for its pace but also for its corpse-dodging agility, a virtue not lost on the new model. Hit the twisty roads and the Scirocco handles like a coupe should by sitting flat into corners and offering liberal measures of grip. It stayed focused on turn-in and never got out of shape when changing direction. Some torque-steer is possible when pushed hard but won't catch the driver by surprise and the traction control functions well without dominating. Overall, the Scirocco is one of the best handling front-wheel-drive new cars available and the ability to take corners at speed helps maintain the impression of a true performance vehicle.
The suspension is definitely firm, more so than an average hot-hatch but not to the point of it being uncomfortable on longer journeys. Ride comfort is generally very good with only minimal road noise kicking up from the 17-inch tyres and the throaty exhaust note is only audible at low speeds. The steering is well weighted and the flat-bottomed steering wheel lifted from the Golf GTI is a pleasure to use.
While the Scirocco's pace is great for out-running zombies and it's agility good for dodging them, the eye-catching design will turn the heads of even the most brain-dead within their ranks. While automotive retro styling is currently popular Volkswagen has resisted using retro elements in the Scirocco's design instead opting for a striking modern look. High-sheen black plastics work in with chrome headlamp surrounds to create a strong face and offer clues to a future Volkswagen design language. Muscular flanks and a long sweeping roofline give the Scirocco sports-car prowess and a distinctive profile. Fully colour coded bumpers and mirrors combine with 17-inch alloys to round off what's a magnetic aesthetic.
Dive inside and you're greeted with an interior that might be the Scirocco's only real weakness. While it's functional and comfortable it feels conservative and inconsistent with the bold exterior design. Most of the interior has been taken straight from the Golf and while that's a bit disappointing you still have a well-styled, solidly built cabin. The front seats are comfortable, well bolstered and height-adjustable. The rear seating is more than a token gesture and is usable enough for two adults to squeeze in. The cabin has an equipment list that includes a 6-disc stereo with iPod compatibility, a cooled glove box, multifunction display screen, and remote central locking with immobiliser.
The hatch has a 292-litre capacity but is restricted by a smallish opening and an awkwardly high boot lip. Our tested model came fitted with an optional panoramic roof that really brought light into the cabin and diffused what could be a confining feel from the low roofline. Poor rear visibility is an unfortunate side-effect of the Scirocco's rakish design; the C-pillar creates a blind spot big enough to hide a zombie conga line.
If your zombie escape doesn't go to plan and you crash, the Scirocco will make sure you survive long enough for the undead to catch up thanks to a 5-star crash test rating. Six airbags are ready to blow including side airbags and curtain bags for 4 occupants. An Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with ABS braking, Traction Control and Brake Assist comes as standard.
It's all too easy to get bitten by the Scirocco; it blends infectious modern styling with technically impressive engineering and a good dose of practicality. The 1.4 TSI is a special engine and makes the entry-level model a very strong proposition. The money saved over the higher-spec vehicle could always be put towards a couple of tasty items from the option list. No doubt the Scirocco will recruit fans and when it comes to splattering zombies the Mark I only bounced a few off the side; the new Mark III is sharp enough to cut straight through them.

Price: $49,990 (1.4 TSI), $55,990 (2.0 TSI)
What we like:
- Striking exterior styling
- Excellent handling
- Powerful and economical motor
What we don't like:
- Conservative interior
- Boot is difficult to load

Vietnam Central Bank Issues Regulation on Classification of Restructured Debts
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on April 23 issued Decision No. 780/QÐ-NHNN on the classification of debts that have been restructured or adjusted for repayment periods, the central bank said on its official website Monday.
Accordingly, the central bank allows credit institutions to uphold the loan classification of business debts after being restructured or adjusted for repayment periods if enterprises operate well and have good debt repayment capacity.
The new regulation takes effects from the date of signing.

That's right, tomorrow is my birthday! To kick off the festivities, I have decided to share with you my Top 5 Favorite Summer Things of 2011 – A faux-birthday list of sorts. This exclusive list includes items that I absolutely adore from WEBstaurantStore.com and hope you do too – Enjoy!
Savvi Serve Clear 9" Plastic Plate: I absolutely LOVE these plates! Their whimsical design matches any décor, from backyard barbeque to elegant wedding reception. And, their rounded rim ensures that pasta salad, potato salad, and coleslaw never spill off the plate. Their heavyweight plastic design is perfect for serving both warm and cold foods, including pork barbeque, meatballs, grilled chicken, and fish. In fact, I use them all the time at home when I don't want to deal with dirty dishes! And that, My Bloggers, is why these fancy plates made it into my #5 position.
Mercer Knives: Quality, dependability, and a name you can trust – Sliding into my #4 position this summer is Mercer brand knives and cutlery. Recently added to WEBstaurantStore.com, these knives come ready to outperform the competition. I'm sure you'll be pleased with our selection – I sure am!
Hall China: If you're looking for the most durable and elegant china serving ware on the market, then you've come the right place! Situated at #3 this year is our Hall China collection. Not only is it amazing because it's made in America, but Hall China made my list this year because of its superior durability, chip resistance, and combined heat and cold retention. This China is designed to be used – and trust me, there's no doubt that you'll want to use this China day in and day out.
Colored Beverage Napkins: Looking back at last year's list, I couldn't help but notice that these colorful beverage napkins are once again in the #2 spot for two years in a row. It's no wonder why - I use these napkins all the time for parties, picnics, get-togethers, reunions, and even on my kitchen table. With all of the colors we offer, these beverage napkins can be used year round for any occasion. I have them in black for everyday use, red for Valentine's Day, teal for Memorial Day and July 4th, bittersweet for Halloween, spice for Thanksgiving, and red for Christmas. And I plan on buying more.
Hoffmaster Red and White Reversible Cupcake Wrappers: And now for my #1 favorite thing for this summer - Hoffmaster red and white reversible cupcake wrappers. A cupcake truly isn't a cupcake until it's wrapped in one of these. They're perfect for use all summer long, particularly around July 4th when the red and white will offset playful blue cupcake icing. By mixing it up and using some of these wrappers with the red background showing and some with the white background showing, you'll instantly create a lively, eye-catching presentation for your guests to enjoy.
So there you have it; my favorite summer things for this year. Do you have any favorite items to add to my list? If so, comment with what they are! My list can always use some additions!

You travel from country to country within the same massage experience - giving you a memorable and enjoyable spa-style pampering as well as the results-driven, premium skin care range used.
Face The World uses their own premium and exclusive brand of skin care that is paraben-free, natural, no animal testing or products and ethically-sourced and manufactured in the UK. Suitable for all skin types.
