It's not Wednesday for all of us in the US and Canada. In fact, for some of us it's midnight.
Hardly any good kid in the US will stay up until 9 on the west coast, and for us on the east coast, hardly ANY kid will stay up until 12:00am MIDNIGHT.
Please, Chattabox, can you have your parties be at least two hours earlier? This way your party times will be a teeny bit more reasonable.

Hey guys,
While I wasn't part of the meetup, I take special pride in my igloos, and I have some suggestions that could make it even better to decorate.
Right now, I'm creating the Disney Magic Kingdom in my igloo. One igloo is the castle, the next is Space Mountain, and the next is Small World. But there are so many more rides to create: Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, etc. I thought it would be so cool if we had more than three igloos to work with.
Please consider my suggestion!
Waddle on!
Hey what about pets

Putnam A Putnam softball tournament will benefit the Ticonderoga "Best Fourth in the North" celebration.
The co-ed, slow-pitch, double-elimination event will be played June 2 and 3 at the Putnam recreation field.
"The yearly Best Fourth In The North Softball Ball Tournament is not only a wonderful event, but a great fundraiser for our celebration," said Starr Pinkowski, tournament chairwoman and a member of the Best Fourth committee. "Without ongoing fundraisers like the tournament, the Best Fourth In The North Celebration would not be possible."
The tournament field will feature 10 teams of 10 players each. Each team must have at last three women.
There is a $180 registration fee for each team. To register call 321-4246. A schedule of games will be drawn the Thursday before the tournament.
"In addition (to teams) we are looking for volunteers to assist with the tournament," Pinkowski said. "If you are interested please contact a committee member."
A concession stand will be open serving breakfast, lunch and assorted beverages.
All proceeds from the tournament and the concession stand will benefit the Best Fourth In The North celebration.
The celebration has an annual price tag of about $30,000, according to Debbie Barber, Best Fourth committee chairwoman. That budget includes the parade, bands for the parade, bands in Bicentennial Park, entertainment, the carnival and vendors as well as fireworks. The town of Ticonderoga does provide support for the July 4th celebration, but much of the funding is raised through the work of the Best Fourth in the North committee.
All donations made to the Best Fourth in the North celebration are tax deductible since the group is now part of the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, a not-for-profit organization.
"All donations from community members, visitors and area businesses are always very much appreciated and help greatly to make this event possible," Barber said.

Hello Everyone. I just moved here from Colorado, and I am trying to find a good fish market in the Duluth area. I went to Dekalb farmers market, and it is great just a long drive. Super H, Assi, and Great Wall are very hit and miss. Does anyone know of anything in the area?
Eating at the Atlantis Paradise Island
All the restaurants at Atlantis are extremely overpriced. The deli is good though. I recommend Natives in Nassau if you get the chance. However, Murray's deli does have a great mustard they serve with the pickles. Does anyone know the name of this mustard?

Comedy Central just announced that their next annual Roast will feature none other than 2011's most ubiquitous tigerblooded human-shaped-chaos-factory, Charlie Sheen. I'm a big fan of all the Comedy Central Roasts, but this time, I'm legitimately concerned — seemingly every Charlie Sheen joke that could've ever possibly been made was already Tweeted seventy times in the past couple months, and if everyone's already sick of "WINNING" jokes now, I can't imagine we'll be back in the mood for them by the time September rolls around.
Because there's no Charlie Sheen jokes left, we've scoured the slightly more obscure corners of Charlie Sheen's IMDB page to come up with this list of 10 Charlie Sheen Roast Jokes That Haven't Been Made Yet:
1. Who could forget Charlie Sheen's portrayal of "Peter" in the 1990 epic Courage Mountain? That movie was huger than Lisa Lampanelli's vagina!
2. We all remember Charlie Sheen's role as Morgan "Fats" Gripp in the 1993 film Deadfall. If you didn't know, "Deadfall" is also a nickname for Lisa Lampanelli's vagina!
3. Charlie Sheen also co-starred in the acclaimed 1988 sports film Eight Men Out. Funny — that's actually the opposite of the title of the movie about Lisa Lampanelli's vagina!
4. Did you know Charlie Sheen provided the voice of "Charles B. 'Charlie' Barkin" in the 1996 animated sequel All Dogs Go To Heaven 2? Yeah right — Dog Charlie Sheen has as much chance of going to heaven as Lisa Lampanelli does having sex with a white guy (because her vagina's big and this is a thing.)
5. Charlie Sheen appears uncredited as a "Thief" in the 1988 movie Never On Tuesday. Hm – "Never On Tuesday?" That's what I'd say to Lisa Lampanelli if she asked me to have sex with her, on a Tuesday.
6. According to his IMDB page, Charlie Sheen is 1.78 meters tall. In the metric system, 1.78 meters is also known as one "Lisa Lampanelli's Vagina".
7. Charlie Sheen once played high school baseball on a team called "The Vikings." Speaking of vikings, if they were pillaging a town and then encountered Lisa Lampanelli's vagina there, they'd be like "No thanks!"
8. Charlie first met Denise Richards while working on the film Good Advice. You know what would've been better advice? "Don't marry Charlie Sheen." That goes for you too, Lisa Lampanelli and your huge vagina.
9. Charlie Sheen's first on-screen appearance came in the 1974 movie The Execution of Private Slovik. Hmm, "The Execution of Private Slovik"? Sounds like a movie that is not about Lisa Lampanelli's vagina.
10. Of course, Charlie Sheen's biggest project yet was the CBS sitcom "Two And A Half Men." Have you ever seen this show called "Two And A Half Men," Lisa Lampanelli? I'll tell you one thing — it is a bad tv show. Thank you everyone and goodnight!
(Feel free to use any of these, roasters, just be sure to cut me a piece of the BOOK DEALS YOU'LL ALL INSTANTLY GET. You're welcome in the future!)

Rich Unger - 2013 Roueche Award Recipient
At first I was a little unsure what I had done to be worthy of this award. My peers explained that my dedication to our students and to the profession of teaching were likely the reason I was picked. I must say, I find this interesting! I am being given an award for simply doing my job! For me, the most gratifying aspect of teaching is seeing students out in public, at a store or restaurant, and they proceed to tell me how much they learned when they took my class. This simple gesture evokes in me feelings similar to that of being a proud father. That I have helped them achieve their goals in life is so rewarding.

I've had this on my mind for a while now and don't know where else to put it so here it is.
The path of having "oh wells" instead of "what ifs" is not a straight path. It's a path that is exciting. A path that leads to more fulfilling friendships than you know what to do with. A path that leads to more self discovery than anything you've ever done before. This path leads to you making connections that might change your life. This path leads to finding the girl of your dreams and falling in love. To looking in her eyes and saying "Man, she loves me, how cool is this?"
This path is also scary. This path leads to disappointment in who you thought people were and who you find out they really are. This path leads to disappointment in yourself, because you think you messed up by taking a chance. This path leads to losing friends that you thought you'd have forever. This path leads to getting your heart broken over and over again. This path leads to times where you wish you had never started, that you had just stayed in and said "nah, I'm gonna play some video games."
This path is rewarding unlike anything else and unforgiving unlike anything else. This path will lift you up higher than you've ever been, and then knock you down to your lowest low. You will learn from your mistakes, only to make new ones. You will come so close to having everything you want, just to have it yanked away at the last minute. This path will show you what love looks and feels like. This path will teach you what loss and heartbreak is too.
You will learn what it feels like to be in total control of your life. What it feels like to have friends around you who would do anything for you. You will know what it feels like to have people in your life that love you for you.
There will be times where you feel like you have no control. That everything important to you is just out of reach. That you're totally alone, no matter how many people are around. That there is something wrong with you, all because you made the wrong choice.
You will learn that you're a human who makes mistakes, and that everyone around you is the same. You will know what its like to lose something so special to you because you were afraid. You will know the triumph when you get something you hold so close to your heart because you were brave. You will learn the sorrow and paralyzing heartbreak when you lose something that you have wanted for so long, even when you were brave, but because she was scared.
You will succeed. You will fail. You will love. You will lose. You will have more "oh wells" than you know what to do with. You will learn to forgive, to speak your mind, to be kind and nurturing, to be stern and forceful. You will find all that life has to offer. You will develop a character that you never knew was in you.
You will learn what it means to be a human being.
Taught by clinkytheclown, wisdom speaks for itself.

When you are a fan of the game, you immerse yourself in everything hockey but must certainly be wary and take everything you read with a grain a salt. A wise man—my father—once told me "don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see".
These words have been ingrained in my mind since I was a teenager but like any pubescent individual, I never thought anything of it.
As I got older and had a beautiful family of my own, these words begin to take a deeper meaning in my life. No, I am not about to get all philosophical nor recite poetry but rather provide guidance in an otherwise troubling month of February.
You see, my friends, we are exactly three weeks away from the NHL trade deadline day.
It is a time which is clouded by rumour mill garbage where "according to a source" every player and his grandmother will be dealt imminently. This year the omnipresent names such as Robyn Regher, Kevin Bieksa or Stephen Weiss have just about booked their ticket to the 514.
This of course after years of us landing Mats Sundin, Peter Forsberg, Brendan Shanahan and every other player in the NHL who were 6'0 or taller.
In all seriousness though, for as long as you have been fans of the Bleu Blanc Rouge, do you recall any rumour coming true?
I didn't think so.
And why? Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see!
With the proverbial B.S. laid to rest I get to the meat and potatoes of why I am bringing this to the table. A challenge was thrown my way by HabsAddict.com, to come up with my own game plan.
An assessment, if you will, of the goaltending, defense and forward units in the month leading to the February 28th deadline.
Simply put, "this is what Willey says needs to be done."
So, without further ado, I bring you Part I of II; defense.
A Lack of Size
If you've red most or anything of what I preach, then you know that there have been a consistent theme; a lack of size. As we stand today, we enter a potential playoff season with Yannick Weber, P.K. Subban, Jaroslav Spacek, James Wizniewski, Hal Gill and Roman Hamrlik as our top six defensemen. A quick glance would tell you that apart from "Le Gros Gill" and Hamrlik, this d-unit is severely under sized.
With teams like Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia getting bigger the issue of size is further compounded and absolutely must be addressed. If not, I fear a quick first-round exit might be the fate that awaits the Canadiens.
A Lack of Depth
I don't care what team you are talking about whether it is the Detroit Red Wings or Philadelphia Flyers, that team is only as good as the depth in all positions.
The Stanley Cup playoffs are a war.
A war that pretty much guarantees casualties in the form of injuries to role players and superstars alike. What separates good teams from great teams is the ability to overcome those injuries courtesy of roster depth.
Unfortunately, because of the injuries to Andrei Markov and Josh Gorges our depth has already been put to the test. Yes, the team has succeeded thus far but difficulty will present itself in the not so distant future unless the problem of depth is addressed.
This issue is even further compounded with the Habs' AHL roster in Hamilton, which is pretty much void of any top notch call-ups should additional injuries occur.
What to Do?
For the record, I need to say that I like the seven defensemen on the team right now. Yes, some may have issues in certain parts of their game but as a collective this is a pretty efficient group.
However, efficiency during the regular season versus the playoffs is an entirely different scenario. This group is too small and needs a big, minute-munching defenseman.
The Habs basically need a big bruising defenseman capable of top-four minutes.
Now let's be honest here for a second; pretty much any player could be had for the right price.
Gauthier can simply pick up the phone and give Chicago a call and say " Listen I want Brent Seabrook, what will it take?"Stan Bowman can quickly respond that he wants Tinordi, Gill and Danny Kristo and likely a deal gets made and Seabrook helps lead Montreal deep into a playoff year.
Is this really the best means to an end? To mortgage the future for a deeper playoff run?
If this was our trade deadline approach then there would be many candidates out there; Robyn Regher as mentioned earlier, Ed Jovanovski, Bryan McCabe, Tomas Kaberle, Sami Salo and so many more.
Now, I don't know about you, but I am not about to give up on top prospects and high picks for a rental. For me, the easiest and most obvious choice as an addition to our blue line is Chris Phillips.
Phillips is a player who has struggled mightily without his longtime partner Anton Volchenkov by his side. Despite this red flag, I like everything that Phillips brings to the table. He is 6'3, a very good shot blocker who can throw his weight around and who ultimately is accustomed to playing against the opposition's best.
He is a player who consistently puts up 20 to 30 points and has almost always been a plus player. At 31, he still has some good legs and years ahead of him.
What I like best however is the fact that the adjustment from Ottawa to Montreal would be the easiest among all players who are available.
Phillips has spent the better part of a decade in the Ottawa region and spends his off season not far from Montreal in Mont-Tremblant. What this translates into is a player who is accustomed to living in Quebec and who would be an hour and a half away from his family.
His family would not have to be uprooted mid-season and mid-school year, which takes a burden off a player and allows him to concentrate on just playing hockey. Simply put, Phillips is a good fit both as a necessity on the ice and as adjustment off it.
What would it take: Bob McKenzie of TSN recently expressed that he thought the going price for the guy would be a second round pick. Personally, I think this is a little low especially given that this would be a trade within the same division.
As such, I think that Montreal would surely need to sweeten the pot to ensure he becomes a Hab.
How does a second round pick and a mid-level prospect like a Ben Maxwell or even an Andreas Engqvist sound? Is this still too little? What would it take?
Whatever it is, I think the Habs have to make that deal.
So there you have it my friends.
One simple move that I personally feel can turn the Montreal Canadiens from a good playoff team to a team whose d-core can compete with anyone in the Eastern conference.
I assume that many of you will disagree with these selections or even what it would cost to acquire them. I challenge you today to tell me what you think the Habs should do that is a better move.
I want to hear realistic deals which can ultimately help the Habs going forward for the remainder of 2011, but will also help going forward in future seasons.
Stay Tuned for Part II on Saturday, February 12th when I will tell you what I think needs to be done with our forwards.
Read Part II of this series here.

Willey was the shinning light among the wicked growing up as the lone Habs fan in Toronto. Pray to Holy Ghosts of the old forum and all shall be answered I was told, and just like that my family was transferred back to Montreal and away from the damned. Olé Olé Olé.

Pagan War Widow's Truck Vandalized, and other Pagan News of Note
July 27, 2011 by
Top Story: A local Nevada television station is reporting that Roberta Stewart, widow of Sgt. Patrick Stewart, had her truck vandalized. The Stewart's were at the heart of a campaign to grant Wiccan soldiers the right to have the pentacle engraved on their military tombstone or marker after ten years of stonewalling by the VA. While the act is attributed to local vandals, the report does explore the possibility that the brick thrown at her truck was connected to anti-Pagan sentiment. But th … [Read more...]

When it comes to home decor projects, it's important to make sure everything is done right the first time to avoid any potential headaches. Installing new window treatments in your home may seem easy at first, but there are many aspects to take into consideration to ensure the best results. You have to account for measuring, installing, design planning and much more, which can add unnecessary stress to your project. Rather than putting yourself through all the trouble, try outsourcing the project to a professional window treatment specialist who can help turn your home decor dreams into reality. Here are some of the advantages of hiring a professional installer versus taking on a window treatment project yourself:
Creating Sections for Maximum Practicality
Many modern homes have large living spaces and smaller bedrooms. This can be good and bad depending on what your lifestyle is like. A lot of times the dining room, living room and even kitchen are in the same space. Although this might be convenient it might also be very limiting, design wise. Having different sections allows for multiple decorating possibilities. Here are some great ways to divide spaces in a large or small home.
Bold & Bright Image Roller Blinds by Creatively Different
If you're looking for something different or unique for your window treatments, check out the Creatively Different website. At Creatively Different you can create your own roller blinds. Upload an image from your computer or just pick an image from their huge collection. From Piccadilly Circus to pop art to patterns of all sorts, I'm sure you'll find something that will add that special quality to your windows.
Inspiration: Garage Doors Enhance the Value of Your Home
The real estate market is starting to make a comeback under the spotlight and as homeowners we would want to increase the value of our home before we put it on the market. The home's appeal is usually the primary criterion homebuyers often look at. Homebuyers will only pass by your home if it doesn't have the kind of appeal they like. One of the ways you could enhance the value of your home is through your garage doors and if you need help completing this project ABI Garage Doors in York exist to provide assistance.
Garage doors that are not apparent out front can be installed with simple steel door even in the absence of windows. On the other hand, if your garage door is evident out front, decorative garage doors would be your best option.
However, it is very challenging to add windows to an existing door because you need to bring it to a specialist who deals with the specific brand of garage door you have and it will cost you so much. Most homeowners end up installing a brand new garage door altogether because it proves to be cheaper. In my opinion, this is easier than trying to fit in a window and making an existing garage door look more appealing to homebuyers.
One of the options homeowners can go to is glass garage door especially when it is becoming more and more popular because it is very appealing to homebuyers. They are increasingly trendy and look extremely modern. Most specialists would recommend people to get garage doors without the windows because they are easily breakable and expensive as well as risky for break-ins.
Another option would be carriage house door, which are made of wood and can have decorative windows. It is advised that you paint the wood garage door rather than staining them to get rid of redoing the procedure every couple of years.
Once you've decided which garage door will fit your home better, you need to ensure the safety of your garage door through the following quick tips –
- Torsion spring replacement. This is important although it would seem a bit tedious especially when it bears the brunt of wear and tear.
- Regularly check your garage door cable. The cables have risk of breaking so it is better for you to check it beforehand and have it replaced in time.
- Get an expert install the garage door. Being a DIY person has its own limits and installing a garage door is one of them. You would benefit greatly if you let an expert do it for you.
- Extension springs with containment cables. A containment cable is important on each extension spring. This serves as a reserve tank if the car runs out of petrol since it holds the spring preventing accidents from happening. This is a good safety precaution practice so have your door installed with this if you can.
Garage doors can definitely add value to your home whether aesthetically or value-wise. It is your responsibility as homeowners to maintain your garage doors and make it safe. Proper maintenance is the only way you can make sure everything works well.
Inspiration: Choosing the Best Interior Doors for Your Home
It is quite challenging to find the best interior doors because often we end up messing the style of the home. However, we have to remember that no matter what period our style is – classical or modern – the interior doors should always complement the design. If you want great and stylish doors, go for Oakwood Doors supplying the finest Internal Oak Doors to provide assistance.
The design of the home must be the basis of your choice when it comes to interior doors. There are paneled doors that are mostly the choice of homeowners and also the most common. Reclaimed doors are another choice you can have that you can have from salvage yards that offer reconditioning service. You just have to remember that they are not often available in standard sizes and should be thoroughly checked for any damage, damping, splitting or warping.
Cottage-style properties or country-style homes would benefit from ledged and braced doors especially those that are made from planks of wood with horizontal ledges and diagonal braces. The style will complement the design well.
Minimalist flush doors will complement modern homes particularly if you complete it with sleek door furniture. Some of these modern homes would benefit from glazed doors and you could choose between clear and obscured but you should make sure that safety glass must be used on the lower panels.
If your home is limited by space, doors that are folding sliding or plain sliding are perfect choice since there is no outswing requirement and are great options for open plan living. The folding sliding doors fold back on themselves and the sliding doors are designed to disappear behind the wall. If none of the pre-designed doors suit your taste, you can always opt to have your door custom-made. A lot of manufacturers can offer the service including joiners.
Despite all these choices, there are reasons why you need a particular door such as – privacy, strength, warmth and division between spaces in the house. We always want them to look great so they become appealing especially when we plan to put our home on the rising real estate market. Traditional materials are usually the best choice such as internal oak doors.
In my opinion, internal oak doors are the best choice partly because they last longer than most doors especially if they are well-made. If they are well-made, they could last for several generations and can endure the wear and tear of repetitive usage. Aesthetically speaking, they would look great especially with natural grain. They are usually associated with older houses but they could also look very modern when used accordingly because of their sleek and natural design.
Internal oak doors are great for majority of interior designs from traditional to modern and from classic to luxurious. They are great in keeping the noise down inside the chambers of the room while maintaining an adorable sight for the doors. You can paint them to match the existing color scheme or just let it have its natural look and it will still have the same impact and benefit.
Designing with Blinds In Mind
When it comes to designing a room, many people make the mistake of treating blinds as an afterthought. But blinds should be seen as an important part of the room and although they may not be the centre of attention if you get things right, if you get things wrong they will be eye-catching in the worst possible way.
So how can you go about designing a room with blinds in mind?
First and foremost, you need a solid idea of what you are trying to achieve and how the room will fit in with the style of your property in general.
Pastel coloured roller blinds are going to be a definite no-no in a sleek, minimalist apartment, but they would look good in a little holiday cottage.
Frankly, a little common sense is all that's needed a lot of the time, and if you have a strong idea of the impact you want your room to make, then getting a general idea of the sort of blinds you need won't be a problem. But a general idea isn't good enough; you need to know the exact kind of blinds you want before you start the physical process of redesigning a room.
And there are plenty of factors to take into account. For bigger windows, panel blinds are a good idea, while Venetian blinds are an excellent way of controlling the amount of light that enters a room.
And as you're pondering these issues, it's important not to let the basics slip. Ordering made to measure blinds, for example form Direct Blinds will ensure you don't end up with the annoyance of blinds which don't fit.
After all, who wants to design the perfect room and then have it spoiled because the blinds they've ordered are too long, which looks scruffy, or too short, which looks scruffy and lets light in when you want to keep it out.
So if you take the time to perfectly match the style, colour and size of your chosen blinds so they suit the look you're going for, you can be sure they'll complement the room perfectly.
Tuxedo Sofas by BassamFellows for Herman Miller
Designed to anchor lounge spaces without visually overpowering their surroundings, Tuxedo Sofas are precisely proportioned and exquisitely detailed. They are based on a modular grid that accommodates for designs ranging from a two-seat settee to an expansive corner sectional. The grid also allows for any Tuxedo Sofa to be easily coupled with other pieces in the Tuxedo range, including ottomans, benches, and lounge seating.
Cantilevered atop narrow steel legs that are available in a range of six metal finishes, the Tuxedo Sofa cuts a low and sleek profile thanks to the horizontal band formed by the back and (optional) arms. Its lightweight appearance is furthered by the crisply tailored upholstery that covers the slim, dual-density foam cushions. Each piece is available in a full range of upholstery with or without quilting.
Flexible and functional, Tuxedo Sofas can be configured to suit a multitude of spaces, including executive offices, casual conference areas, lobby and reception areas, in addition to living rooms and residential spaces.
As Bassam explains, "We wanted to mix the timelessness and attention to detail of the modern classics with contemporary design and blend it with honest materials, solid construction, beauty, and utility." Fellows adds, "It's all about merging the rationality and clarity of modernism with the warmth and texture of nature."

Summary: The Lial series has helped thousands of students succeed in developmental mathematics through its friendly writing style, numerous realistic examples, extensive problem sets, and complete supplements package. In keeping with its proven track record, this revision includes a new open design, more exercises and applications, and additional features to help both students and instructors succeed. Features : ;margin:0px;'> Learning Objectives Each section opens with an application and clearly stated, numbered, learning objectives. These learning objectives are reinforced throughout the section by re-listing the objective where appropriate so that students always know exactly what is being covered. Classroom Examples and Teaching Tips The Annotated Instructor's Edition provides answers to all text exercises and Group Activities in color in the margin or next to the corresponding exercises. In addition, Classroom Examples and Teaching Tips are also included to assist instructors in coming up with examples to use in class that are different from what students have in their textbooks, and offering guidance on presenting the material at hand. Notes Important ideas are emphasized in Notes boxes that appear throughout the text. Calling them out stresses their importance to students. Connections Connections boxes provide connections to the real world or to other mathematical concepts, historical background, and thought-provoking questions for writing or class discussion. Problem Solving The Lial six-step problem-solving method is clearly explained in Chapter 2 and is then continually reinforced in examples and exercises throughout the text to aid students in solving application problems. Cautions Students are warned of common errors through the use of Cautions that are found throughout the text where appropriate. Technology Insights Exercises Technology Insights Exercises are found in selected exercise sets throughout the text. These exercises illustrate the power of graphing calculators and provide an opportunity for students to interpret typical results seen on graphing calculator screens (graphing calculator NOT required to complete these exercises). Ample and Varied Exercise Sets Algebra students require a large number and variety of practice exercises to master the material they have just learned. This text contains over 7700 exercises, including over 2100 review exercises, plus numerous conceptual and writing exercises, journal exercises, and challenging exercises that go beyond the examples. Multiple-choice, matching, true/false, and completion exercises help to provide variety. Exercises suitable for calculator use are marked with a calculator icon. Writing Exercises Writing exercises abound in the Lial series through the Connections boxes and also in the exercise sets. Some writing exercises require only short written answers, and others require lengthier journal type exercises that ask students to fully explain terminology, procedures, and methods, document their understanding using examples, or make connections between topics. Relating Concepts Found at the end of selected exercise sets, these exercises tie together topics and highlight the relationships among various concepts and skills. For example, they may show how algebra and geometry are related, or how a graph of a linear equation in two variables is related to the solution of the corresponding linear equation in one variable. These sets of exercises make great collaborative activities for small groups of students. Group Activities Appearing at the end of each chapter, these activities allow students to work collaboratively to solve a problem related to the chapter material. Ample Opportunity for Review One of the most admired features of Lial textbooks is the extensive and well-thought-out end-of-chapter material. At the end of each chapter, students will find Key Terms and Symbols that are keyed back to the appropriate section for easy reference and study, and Test Your Word Power to help students understand and master mathematical vocabulary. Key terms from the chapter are presented with four possible definitions in multiple-choice format, Quick Review sections to give students not only the main concepts from the chapter (referenced back to the appropriate section), but also an adjacent example of each concept, Review Exercises keyed to the appropriate sections so that students can refer to examples of that type of problems if they need help, Mixed Review Exercises that require students to solve problems without the help of section references, Chapter Test to help students practice for the real thing, and Cumulative Review Exercises that gather various types of exercises from preceding chapters to help students remember and retain what they are learning throughout the course. New To This Edition : Former Section 2.1 on the Addition and Multiplication Properties of Equality has been split into two sections to allow each property to be treated individually before combining their use in Section 2.3. All topics on graphing linear equations and inequalities in two variables are now treated in Chapter 3. Systems of linear equations and inequalities, presented earlier than in the previous edition, are covered in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 on exponents and polynomials has been reorganized so that the sections on exponents are covered early in the chapter. Variation is covered in a new Section 7.8. Three new appendixes have been included. Appendix A provides an introduction to calculators, Appendix D includes all new material on mean, median, and mode, and Appendix E covers quadratic inequalities, formerly included in the chapter on factoring. Adjunct Support Center The Adjunct Support Center offers consultation on suggested syllabi, helpful tips on using the textbook support package, assistance with textbook content, and advice on classroom strategies from qualified mathematics instructors with over 50 years combined experience. Now Try It Exercises To actively engage students in the learning process, each example now concludes with a reference to one or more parallel exercises from the corresponding exercise set so that students are able to immediately apply and reinforce the concepts and skills presented in the examples. Summary Exercises Based on user feedback, we have more than doubled the number of in-chapter summary exercises. These special exercise sets provide students with the all-important mixed review problems they need to master topics. Summaries of solution methods or additional examples are often included. Topics that appear in these Summary Exercises include Solving Linear Equations, Rules for Exponents, and Factoring. Glossary By popular demand, a comprehensive glossary of key terms from throughout the text is included at the back of the book. New Real-Life Applications Many new or updated examples and exercises can be found throughout the text that focus on real-life applications of mathematics. These applied problems provide a modern flavor that will appeal to and motivate students. New Figures and Photos Today's students are more visually oriented than ever. Thus, the authors have made a concerted effort to add mathematical figures, diagrams, tables, and graphs whenever possible. Many of the graphs use a style similar to that seen by students in today's print and electronic media. Photos have been incorporated to enhance applications in examples and exercises. ...show more

Full detailed profile on Will Munson Played by Jesse Lee Soffer on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Jesse Lee Soffer
Birthday: 1984-04-10
The newlyweds thank everyone for coming. Carly throws her bouquet and Rosanna catches it. Will and Gwen accidentally tell Margo and Tom that Casey and Alison are moving. They run off. Margo starts stuttering but Tom is calm. Will and Gwen say goodbye to Parker and push him to go and talk to Faith. He sits down with her and apologizes for not telling her his secret. They talk about Liberty going away and he tells her she looks hot.
At home, Parker is nervous and Will tries to reassure him about the wedding. Parker admits that he has to talk to his dad about something important and hopes he'll be pre-occupied enough not to freak out about it. Faith shows up and Parker tries to get rid of her, telling her that she shouldn't have told Janet about Liberty getting into FIT.
Parker goes to see his father at the farm house. Sage calls and asks her dad to pick her up. Jack rushes off. Will asks Parker what's up. Parker wants to tell his dad that he's not going to college. Will thinks that's a bad idea.
Jack meets with his party in the garden. He tells Will that his father would be proud of him and then teases Holden and tells Parker he's the best son in the world. They talk about what a hard year it has been but Jack is sure that this will mark the beginning of good things. Lily arrives and Parker goes off to find Faith. Carly and her party arrive. She looks around nervously. He reminds her that they've done this before.
At Fairwinds, Paul tells his family that this wedding is all wrong. Emily thinks he's being aggressively silly and they should make an effort to get along with his mother. Will says it's creepy but they should let it happen.
After the ceremony, Paul talks to his mother and half-brother about seeing James. They send the judge off and start pouring the champagne. Katie tells Chris that the couple will be happy, like she was with Brad. Bob and Kim watch her with their son and she talks about how sweet they look. Paul gathers everyone together to toast to the couple and wish them a happy life. Gwen tears up but Barbara tells her not to worry about what's happened because they are family. She tells Will how proud she is of him, even though she hasn't always been a great mom. She throws the bouquet and Katie catches it. Katie and Chris smile at each other. This leads to an awkward moment between them. He goes silent and then asks if they can go to her place and talk. She walks over to the bride and groom to congratulate them again. Kim takes Barbara aside and says that Jenny would be happy for her. Bob leads his wife away and they run into John by the front desk.
At Fairwinds, Gwen is packing up and Emily asks her if she wants to stick around a little longer. She tells her that she doesn't blame her for what happened with Iris. Will walks in and says he can't get a hold of his mother. He's worried that Iris could have gone after her again even though she's in custody. Gwen calls to make sure her mom is in custody. Paul walks in and says that his mom is with Henry. He makes faces and Emily teases him. She hopes Barbara stays with Henry because it will keep her off their backs. They make out and then his mom calls to say she's coming for a visit. The couple soon arrives and announces their engagement. Everyone makes faces. Henry wants them to get married at Fairwinds. Everyone is silent. "Are you serious?" Paul finally asks. Will is speechless. Paul says it's weird for his mom to marry his half-brother. He tries to talk them out of making this kind of commitment but the couple is adamant. Henry doesn't know why he won't let them have a new beginning so Paul reminds him that he is James' son and this marriage would only keep Barbara in the endless Stenbeck cycle. This upsets Barbara and makes Henry furious. Paul wonders what the rush is and warns his brother that they will have to deal with the public reaction to the marriage and they'll be opening a can of worms. "Take your can of worms and shove it," Henry says.
Will walks off and Gwen follows him. He's really uncomfortable with what's going on and needs to talk to someone about this. He heads out.
Will goes to see Parker and they look at a photo of their dad. They talk about their plans and Parker isn't sure he wants to go away to college anymore. He may have found something more important to him. They hug and Will heads out.
Will meets with Gwen at Java and wonders why his mom needs a man to make her happy. What makes it worse is that she is with a nut who is half her age. She thinks that Henry really loves his mom but he still worries. She talks him around.

Liam Hemsworth: Fashion Designer? Miley Cyrus Checks Out NYC Labels for Hunger Games Fiance
That Gale! He's handy as a hunter and he designs like a demon.
The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth may be joining the list of celebrities in the fashion world. According to Page Six, his fiancee Miley Cyrus was checking out men's labels on Monday at SoHo fashion trade show Project New York.
"Liam's looking to get his start in the business," a source explained to Page Six, "and may be thinking of launching a label of his own."
Liam always seems to be out shooting a film and while Miley checked out fashions — then went dancing at the Dream Downtown Hotel's PH-D and Electric Room — Liam was in Philadelphia with Amber Heard, Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford, shooting Paranoia.
Pretty soon he'll be shooting the second Hunger Games film, Catching Fire. When is he going to have time to start a label?

In Joyce Kilmer's famous poem, "Trees," the author artfully expresses the beauty of nature's form, and contrasts it to the inadequacy of human expression and verse. Yet, the connection between the written word and the natural world abounds within untold volumes of books lining the shelves of libraries across the globe.
It's fitting, then, that the new West Hollywood Library, designed by Culver City, Calif.-based Johnson Favaro, was born in a park and bears the hallmarks of its natural surroundings. Charged with expanding the existing 5,000-square-foot library to a 32,000-square-foot facility within the city's largest park—yet constrained by a city ordinance that forbids converting park space to any other use than recreation—the design team proposed a comprehensive master plan for West Hollywood Park at the city's request.
"The point of the master plan was to give the city everything that it wanted, which was larger, state-of-the-art facilities, but also to actually increase park open space," explains Steve Johnson, AIA, principal at Johnson Favaro. "We did that by essentially employing more urban strategies of stacking functions vertically, rather than spreading out horizontally."
As the first phase of Johnson Favaro's plan, the library's mixed-use program has been stacked on a consolidated footprint, increasing adjacent open park space by 1.5 acres. The new library sits on the upper two floors of the three-story building, with the second floor lifted above the street level while at grade with the expanded park.
The ground floor of the building is home to West Hollywood's 165-seat city council chambers, which was designed to double as a venue for community events and performances. The ground floor also houses the city's public access television station; the Friends of the Library bookstore; and a sidewalk coffee shop that fronts San Vicente Boulevard, serving the library and the surrounding neighborhood businesses.
The upper level acts as the community living room, with all the various
functions of a collections floor, including shelving for over 150,000 volumes, reference services, technology stations, group study rooms, printing services, readers' seating and special collections. Designed to accommodate community-based programs and services, the second floor also includes the Wells Fargo Career Development Center, digital media collections, a 90-seat community meeting room, a teen resource and reading area, and a children's library.
In an age of rapidly-advancing technology where information is literally available at everyone's fingertips, Johnson recalls a number of people asking him during the design and construction of the project why the city was spending money on a library. According to Johnson, those who questioned the need for a new library overlooked its true function and meaning to the community.
"[A] library is more than just a bunch of books; it is truly a place where the community gathers. And in fact, it's a place where architecture sort of represents the value they place on reading and literacy," he explains.
The design team looked to some of the most notable reading rooms of the early 20th century—including those at the New York and Boston Public Libraries—for inspiration and help in communicating that a library is not merely a warehouse for storing books, but rather "an evocative place that really does prompt you to leave your computer terminal at home and join your neighbors in a building," Johnson says.
Taking its cues from these iconic reading rooms, the West Hollywood Library features a monumental, hand-made bamboo coffered ceiling
in a floral pattern of leaves, petals and vines that was inspired by photographic images by Robert Mapplethorpe, as well as the floral forms developed in the decorative arts during the Art Nouveau period. Johnson says the 3.5-foot-deep ceiling was an immense undertaking that would not have been possible to design and document without a computer, but was truly built by hand.
"If you witnessed the craftsmen who were actually shaping and bending and properly finishing all of those wood pieces—which really do come in in pieces—you really can't appreciate that there is no machine out there that simply stamps a ceiling like that. This really is the 21st century's version of wood-carving craftsmen that date back for centuries," he says.
In keeping with the city's moniker as the "Creative City," the library is home to two major interior art installations by renowned artists Shepard Fairey—best known for his iconic President Obama "Hope" poster—and David Wiseman. Fairey's "Peace, Freedom and Creativity" mural in the lobby of the council chambers is a historic and architectural portrait of the city, while Wiseman's "Plantus bibliotechalis" sycamore tree installation brings the park indoors, emerging from the walls of the main staircase and climbing 60 feet up to the skylight.
"Whereas our ceiling is somewhat abstract floral forms rendered in wood, [Wiseman] made an actual tree form all in white, kind of imagining that there was an ancient tree that existed where the library was being built," says Johnson.
The connection to (and respect for) nature is expressed not only in the language of art, but also in the architecture and design of the space. Having earned LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, 96 percent of the library's construction waste was diverted from landfills and more than 25 percent of all construction materials were sourced locally. The majority of wood used for the project is from renewable, sustainably-managed forests.
Other sustainable features include: a photovoltaic system; use of low-emitting materials for paints, coatings and carpeting; optimized energy performance systems for lighting, heating and ventilation; sustainable vegetation; and the use of green housekeeping products.
Standing in stark contrast to the natural aesthetic of the surrounding
library is perhaps the most striking space within the project: The Children's Storytime Theater. Contained in an enormous plywood shipping crate, the Theater serves as a unique theater-within-a-library for storytelling,
puppet shows and displays. The space evokes the first library of the Italian Renaissance—Michelangelo's Laurentian Library—and exposes children to the classical language of architecture, says Johnson.
"We're of the attitude that if you don't bring these things forward in your own work in architecture and art, over a couple of generations, it's lost forever," he suggests. "But we do think it was an interesting counterpoint to do the room as a fun teaching moment for children in the middle of this contemporary library."
Ultimately, however, the library is neither modern nor traditional, according to firm principal Jim Favaro, AIA. "It neither waxes nostalgic about yesterday nor pretends to determine a future over which we have no control. As a building that belongs to the community, its architecture has been crafted to project civility, hospitality, creativity and durability in a way that nevertheless reflects the way we aspire to live now—relaxed not formal, tempered not hysterical, dignified not pompous," he says.
"We oblige ourselves and the community we serve to create an architecture that is of its time and that will stand the test of time."

Accountability and Action
President Obama, having survived a contentious challenge in Congress to his Affordable Care Act, had no time to savor his victory. The program's website has, since its launch, been fraught with problems that have heaped criticism on the program itself and on him directly.
In nationally-televised statement in the Rose Garden today, the president stood up and faced the challenge. In doing so, he became a role model for how anyone facing any challenge to their own enterprise should do it correctly. Mr. Obama employed two major techniques: accountability—he admitted to, rather than ducked, the problem—and action—he described what he is doing to fix the problem. Having fulfilled those vital steps, he went on to sing the praises of his program.
Contrast this approach to that of other politicians who are loathe to ever admit to any problems and who bob and weave around taking any action. Instead, they just jump to self- praise.
From the White House transcript, here's how Mr. Obama did it:
…the problem has been that the website that's supposed to make it easy to apply for and purchase the insurance is not working the way it should for everybody. And there's no sugarcoating it. The website has been too slow, people have been getting stuck during the application process. And I think it's fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am — precisely because the product is good, I want the cash registers to work. I want the checkout lines to be smooth. So I want people to be able to get this great product. And there's no excuse for the problems, and these problems are getting fixed.
… we are doing everything we can possibly do to get the websites working better, faster, sooner. We've got people working overtime, 24/7, to boost capacity and address the problems. Experts from some of America's top private-sector tech companies who, by the way, have seen things like this happen before, they want it to work. They're reaching out. They're offering to send help. We've had some of the best IT talent in the entire country join the team. And we're well into a "tech surge" to fix the problem. And we are confident that we will get all the problems fixed.
The President went on to offer access to the program through a call center or in person visits. Then he concluded by supporting the Affordable Care Act.
So here's the bottom line. The product, the health insurance is good. The prices are good. It is a good deal. People don't just want it; they're showing up to buy it.
The lesson for you is to always take responsibility for errors made on your watch and always state what you are doing to fix them. Then, and only then, can you blow your own horn.

Nonprofit acquires Ritz Theatre, a step closer to restoration
CORPUS CHRISTI - A shuttered historic downtown theater where rock 'n' roll pioneer Bo Diddley once performed is one step closer to reliving its glory days.
Robert Rowling, owner of TRT Holdings and Omni Hotels, donated the Ritz Theatre three days before Christmas to a local nonprofit working to raise money for the theater's restoration and use as a local arts and culture venue. Mayor Joe Adame announced the donation Thursday during his State of the City address.
The timing of the donation is a culmination of the city's renewed interest in revitalizing downtown and the nonprofit's work to establish a business plan for the theater, said Monica Sawyer, president of the nonprofit Positive Action Toward Culture Heritage, known as Corpus Christi PATCH.
"We are incredibly grateful for the chance to move forward," Sawyer said.
Without ownership, the nonprofit's options to apply for funding were limited.
Restoration likely won't happen for years because the nonprofit needs to raise at least $6 million.
The nonprofit will announce its first fundraiser Feb. 4 at the Ritz Theatre, near the corner of Chaparral and Taylor streets. The building, valued at $93,000 by the county appraisal district, will be open for tours.
Downtown Management District Chairman David Loeb said he was elated to hear about the real estate deal. The theater is one of the buildings downtown that has been vacant the longest.
"It's a huge and major step forward for them," Loeb said. "We support them in what they're doing."
The Ritz opened on Christmas Day in 1929, two months after the start of the Great Depression. It operated as a first-run movie theater and a variety-acts entertainment house despite the economic struggles.
It also was a venue for shows put on by the United Service Organizations. The theater later became a major local music venue, known as the Ritz Music Hall, and featured Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, David Allen Coe and Metallica. Before it closed in 1989, it was home to local theater acts.
After the building is restored, Sawyer said the nonprofit plans to host a variety of entertainment and arts events, such as drama, dance, music, comedy and film productions.
