Many (okay, most) of youse will be happy to know this is my last blog.
HA! Gotcha! I just mean my last blog for 2012.
Time for Baer Growls to go into annual hibernation.

PA Welfare Secretary Gary Alexander is a driven man.
He drives himself to work. He has a long commute. From Rhode Island to Harrisburg, about 700 miles roundtrip.
The online news service PA Independent reports that Alexander, who runs an agency with a budget of $10.5 billion and 16,000 employees, routinely goes back and forth from his home in "The Ocean State" to his job in Harrisburg -- racking up 41,727 miles in a year in state-owned vehicles, more than half of that designated as "commute" travel.

Probably as partial residual of this year's presidential campaign new polling on the "fiscal cliff" shows more voters approve of President Obama's stance than that of Speaker Boehner.
Gotta be that branding thing. Republicans still, I guess, don't get it.
A Washngton Post-ABC News poll released Wednesday says 47% of registered voters approve of Obama's handling of "cliff" negotiations so far, while only 24% of voters approve of Boehner's performance.

Unaccustomed as I am to reporting good news (hence the title of this blog), I hope you all saw the news story in Tuesday's New York Times about a drop in childhood obesity in some American cities, including Philadelphia.
Yep, something good, it appears, is happening in a city long derided as home of the fat, ugly and corrupt.
And while the Times notes the drop in obesity rates is small and occuring over time, it is encouraging to read that actions taken by any government anywhere in areas aimed at improving the health of citizens can actually pay off.

(A brief discussion twixt Baer & Baer's editor, a.k.a. BE)
JB: Yo, boss, you see that thing about Corbett crowing that he had a drink and a cigar with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia during PA Society weekend in NYC?
BE: I did. Seemed to be a real highlight for the guv, and the fact they shared time at the Carnegie Club is appropriate given that Andrew Carnegie was involved in the PA Society and a speaker at one of it's annual dinners.

Though not yet formally announced, a Pentecostal minister from Central Pennsylvania says he's running for governor as a Democrat because of his passion for the values of William Penn: good government in which "everybody is honored, respected and valued."
Max Myers, 59, is no longer pastoring (he's running a small business, buying investment properties in Harrisburg and renting them) and is getting in the race because "somewhere along the line" he got tired of saying somebody who cares about issues such as poverty, urban transformation and civil rights should do so.
Here's his website.

(A brief chat twixt Baer & Baer's editor, a.k.a. BE)
JB: You know, of course, of my life-long affection for the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show, the 97th of which is scheduled January 5-12 in Harrisburg.
BE: Of course! The high-fat food, the animals, the life-size butter sculpture, the square dances, the tractor pulls, the sheep-to-shawl competition and my recommended addition – the hog-to-BLT contest.

As 2012 winds down, chatter over fixing PA's public pension problem picks up. But about the only thing that's clear is how difficult a problem it is to fix.
Gov. Corbett Tuesday told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial board that among options are raising the retirement age for state and public school workers, changing the formula for calculating pensions (i.e. reducing them) and applying such changes not only to new state workers but also to those not yet vested in the system.
This immediately brought a response from the president of PA's AFL-CIO, Rick Bloomingdale, who called the debate a "phony crisis," and from the Republican state House where its top spokesman Steve Miskin said, "I wish he (Corbett) would talk to the leaders before he goes to the press" with proposals.

"If you were looking for Big Foot, I've found him. He's at Red Sox spring training."
That's Comcast SportsNet's Mike Giardi's description of 6-foot-7 left-hander Henry Owens, 21 years old and possessor of a size 17 shoe. But he impresses for more than his size.
How about a career 34-11 record in 62 minor-league games spread over three seasons? Winner of a Carolina League All-Star berth in 2013? Not to mention Red Sox Minor League Pitcher of the Year honors in the same season?
Need more? How about 19 1/3 consecutive no-hit innings in Salem last year?
About the only person not impressed by all this is Owens himself.
"I still have a lot to learn," he told Giardi in a one-on-one interview.
And those consecutive no-hit innings?
"I kind of put it behind me once I got promoted (to Double-A Portland in midseason)," he said. "It was fun while it lasted but, again, that's last year."

Re-Visiting The Interface Between Race And Accounting: The Case Of Filipino Workers
The interface of race and accounting in sugar plantations in Hawaii is a subject that is unresolved in Accounting History (Fleischman & Tyson, 2000; 2002; Burrows, 2002). This paper presents previously untapped archival material of Hamakua Milling Company from 1921 to 1939 to shed further light on the 'Dark side of accounting' in the control of workers. The authors find that accounting was not fully complicit in the suppression of wages and job advancement for the last wave of Filipino workers. Individual worker productivity data, the absence of which Fleischman and Tyson (2000; 2002) ascribe to the salience of race in labour control became available in the 1920s.

Pellets for the boil, whole leaf for dry hop. That's my method of choice. I think putting the

Twilight Dawn by False-VirtueWatch

Another drawing I made for my story. It shows the Twilight King in his realm with the Tree of Twilight behind him.
Hope you enjoy it, and please leave comments! ^_^
Hope you enjoy it, and please leave comments! ^_^
awesome, i love those blue stars in the background, his pose is very cool, i like how the bright blue on his clothes pops, this is a really cool drawing!!
This is my favourite drawing of yours. The pose and expression are very powerful. And I love the colour scheme. All the different blues are so pretty, and I like how bright everything is...it's like when you go outside and the light is so bright that you get blinded a little bit. The shadow is really well drawn, too, and I like how it fits in with the rest of the picture. Nice work!
His pose is quite majestic. I didn't have to read the title to understand that this guy is one important piece of awesome. The background gives me a good impression of his grandness. It alludes a bit to the cosmos. As for the character himself, I feel a lot of movement, and may I say that you drew some great hands! I know it's silly, but I am quite bad at doing them...
I love the theme in this piece, and how you managed to bring it out so brilliantly with the effects and colours >u< The background looks fantastic too~ Keep it up ^u^
his design is very interesting ^^ the background matches with him alot,it gives off a cold vibe
nice facial expression too

Although we have tried it and it can help them shed, I just don't like the aids for that. I would much rather add things for them to rub against and let them shed out naturally. I am a firm believer in those things - natural processes.
If you have a need for something that does help, this is a great product among the aids.
Pros: it can help
Cons: not a fan of these things

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by for his Monday film review to analyze the Saints first win of the season. Ralph asks why the offensive line can look so good at pass protection but can't run block to save their lives. Has Spags turned into Gregg Williams 2.0 and should we expect all blitz all the time the rest of 2012? Ralph explains the historic pace the Saints defense is on and why the compare to the 0-16 Lions. Andrew begs for Corey White not to play anymore. How much of a boost will Joe Vitt be? And finally Ralph predicts what October holds for the Saints.

The term GSM means - Global System for Mobile Communications. It is the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. GSM differs significantly from its predecessors in that both signaling and speech channels are Digital call quality, which means that it is considered a second generation (2G) mobile phone system. GSM is an open standard which is currently developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
From the point of view of the consumer, the key advantage of GSM systems has been higher digital voice quality and low cost alternatives to making calls such as text messaging. The advantage for network operators has been the ability to deploy equipment from different vendors because the open standard allows easy inter-operability. Like other cellular standards GSM allows network operators to offer roaming services which mean subscribers can use their phones all over the world.
To help you further understand, GSM is simply a standard used by phones to communicate with each other. It is a new standard that has been adopted to all new models of phones and is now so prevailant that it has become the 'norm' in the phone world.
Now to answer your other question, with respect to locked and unlocked phones. A phone is locked when it is attached to network. For example if you go to AT&T and purchase a phone from them then that phone is said to be locked unto the AT&T network and as such it cannot work on another network such as SPRINT or NEXTEL. Thus an unlocked phone is a phone that is bought, that is not locked to any network. And as such it can work on any network.
The network it will lock unto will depend on the SIM card you put into the phone. For example if you put a AT&T sim in an unlocked phone then it will work on the AT&T network. In the same way if you put a NEXTEL SIM card in an unlocked phone then it will work on the NEXTEL network.
However if the phone is locked to a particular network, like say for example AT&T then changing the SIM card in the phone to another SIM card from another network such as NEXTEL will not work. This is because the phone is locked unto to AT&T network and as such will not work on any other network.
Yes, you can use the prepaid SIM card on the phone once the phone is either unlocked or on the same network as the SIM card you are going to put into it. It should work just fine.
Unfortunatly is isn't possible to have more than one phone on the same line. It is possible to have more to than one phone on the same account, in fact, some providers will allow many many lines on one account.
The reason why your unable to do this is that your phone has a ESN (electronic serial number) that assoicated with that line. What this does is allow your network to send the calls to your phone. If there is more then one ESN per line then it will cause problems receiving calls.
For example, I had a phone that i wasnt using anymore when i bought a new one, well my old phone was recieving text messages that my new one was supposed to get, but the new one would get all the calls. To resolve the issue that had to erase the programming on the phone.

The draft buzz is building. Lots of little things to get to.
* The Eagles are one of eight teams that have shown "a great deal of interest" in Florida middle linebacker Brandon Spikes, his agent Terry Watson tells Robbie Andreu of GatorSports.com. Spikes (6-3, 249) is considered one of the top linebackers on the board. Thanks to reader Brian for the link.
* Reader Robert suggested the mock at WalterFootball.com. They've got the Eagles ending up with Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson at No. 24.
* Texas pass rusher Sergio Kindle has visited the Eagles, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post. Kindle (6-3, 250) projects as an outside linebacker or defensive end. He had 16 sacks in his last two seasons with the Longhorns. Thanks to Lance over at EaglesMix.com for reminding me I missed this one.

Hitler: The Memoir of the Nazi Insider Who Turned Against the F³hrer
Arcade Pub., 2011 - Biography & Autobiography - 308 pages
Of American and German parentage, Ernst Hanfstaengl graduated from Harvard and ran the family business in New York for a dozen years before returning to Germany in 1921. By chance he heard a then little-known Adolf Hitler speaking in a Munich beer hall and, mesmerized by his extraordinary oratorical power, was convinced the man would some day come to power. As Hitler's fanatical theories and ideas hardened, however, he surrounded himself with rabid extremists such as Goering, Hess, and Goebbels, and Hanfstaengl became estranged from him.
But with the Nazi's major unexpected political triumph in 1930, Hitler became a national figure, and he invited Hanfstaengl to be his foreign press secretary. It is from this unique insider's position that the author provides a vivid, intimate view of Hitler—with his neuroses, repressions, and growing megalomania—over the next several years. In 1937, four years after Hitler came to power, relations between Hanfstaengl and the Nazis had deteriorated to such a degree that he was forced to flee for his life, escaping to Switzerland. Here is a portrait of Hitler as you've rarely seen him.

Consider, too, the jobs generated by cars. They include everything from high-paying manufacturing, repair and sales jobs to entry-level gas station attendant positions. Plus, by allowing us to get around quickly and easily, cars enabled people to move out of crowded cities into suburbs, where they?re in closer contact with nature.
And let?s not forget what autos replaced: horses. Back in the days when horse-drawn carriages were the main means of transportation, our streets were filled with manure. This waste was itself a dangerous form of pollution.
Horses required tons of hay, which meant thousands of acres of farmland were needed to grow food for animal use, not human consumption. The invention of the car actually helped clean our streets, clear our air and free land for more productive use.
People are more likely to be concerned about the environment when they have the time to appreciate nature. That?s a luxury still not enjoyed in poor nations, where too many people eke out a living through subsistence farming.
The best way to clean up our planet and keep it clean is to generate worldwide economic growth and lift everyone to the same level of prosperity Americans take for granted. Let?s get started on April 22, the new international Growth Day.

The NEW YORK POST reports "three days before they beat the San Diego Chargers, and more than two weeks before Super Bowl XLII, the team egotistically filed paperwork with the US Patent and Trademark Office to cash in on sales of T-shirts, caps, posters and all kinds of Pats paraphernalia."
The club applied for trademarks on "19-0″ and "19-0 The Perfect Season."
So the management at the NYP did what any right-thinking, objective media outlet would do, they "spent $375 for its own trademark application yesterday - on '18-1.' Our application, No. 77385477, is pending."
The Post is obviously groping for another publicity play after it hit a gusher with the Jessica Simpson look-alike bit for the Cowboys-Giants game. In comparison, this move falls rather flaccid.

Watching porn movies with his older cousins peaked Chris Brown's sexual interest as a child, and he acted on it before some of his young peers even started noticing the opposite sex.
"Girls, we weren't afraid to talk to them; I wasn't afraid. So, at eight, being able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at it. You can be the best at it," Chris recently told TheGuardian.com. "Most women won't have any complaints if they've been with me. They can't really complain. It's all good."
Chris was at the center of a very public love triangle, but the 24-year-old crooner said that he actually prefers to be a one-woman man.
Though he was reportedly juggling Rihanna and Karrueche Tran not too long ago, Chris said his dilemma wasn't anything that most men haven't experienced.
While some still question how much overlap occurred between his dealings with the two romantic interests, Chris said he never lied to the ladies.
"Relationships are the most difficult part. That's why I was honest with those two girls and I put out that video. My ex and I broke up because of the 'situation' and she had moved on. I fell in love with another girl. Then my ex came back, so it was like, 'What is a man to do?' Anybody can go through that situation," he told JET magazine.
Chris' romantic struggles haven't done much to help his reputation, which took a hit in 2007 when he and Rihanna were involved in a violent incident. However, he said not stringing either woman along might have gained him some points from his and Rihanna's fans.
"I kept it 100. I told them both the truth. I didn't do the sucker role, and I think that's what made people respect me even more," explained Chris who really prefers to be in a monogamous relationship.
"It's just like my music. I give it my all as far as love. I want to be a one-woman man," he said.
Since the Rihanna incident, Chris has also been accused of violent behavior during a "Good Morning America" taping, outside a music studio with Frank Ocean's entourage, inside a nightclub with Drake and in a few other circumstances. However, he's learned from it all.
"I don't try to lash out at people or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be," Chris told JET. "I know there's a wall I have to climb over and I'm over it. As far as music, I kind of have to overcome this obstacle of negativity and the image of being a young, angry Black man.
"I learned from it, and it was almost like…I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don' throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it," he told TheGuardian.com.
Chris recognized that he's not the only celebrity who's had to deal with negative press. He's in good company.
"Anybody with a voice—Tupac, Michael Jackson, The Notorious B.I.G.—gets formatted…except maybe for Jay-Z, who is accepted by White America because he shakes hands and kisses babies," Chris told JET. "No disrespect because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that he stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass."

the solace of biscuits
Some days, it seems, nothing makes me feel more grounded than baking.
It seems funny to me now: when I was first diagnosed with celiac, almost a decade ago (a decade? I've been writing here for nearly a decade), my first reaction was to give away all my baking books. Covered in white flour and pages dog-eared and stained with vanilla extract, those baking books had been my balm for years.
Now I have several shelves of baking books at our studio. Most of them have gluten-free flour on them. That collection keeps growing.
Until I met Danny, my life was always more of the head than the hands. Raised by two teachers, an inveterate bookworm, in love with ideas and the creative life, I used my body when I remembered. My hands worked in the evenings. I wrote comments on student papers. And then I stood up to bake. I mixed butter and sugar together until they were a creamy yellow, plopped in eggs, and added a cloud of fine white flour. Those moments gave me a solace, a space away from a day in my head. It took me until I was nearly 40 to realize that white flour was making me sick. So when I realized I had to give up gluten, I thought I was giving up baking.
Now I have a gluten-free flour blend company. So, you know, life surprises me sometimes.
Life never stops surprising me.
There are nearly 8000 boxes of the Gluten-Free Girl All-Purpose Flour in a storage facility on Vashon. They're here. They're real. It's surreal and lovely and unbelievable.
Within a couple of weeks, we'll have them for sale on this site.

Talking with Palestinian and Muslim students after my lecture at the University of South Florida in Tampa on March 8th, I was pained (but not surprised) to hear their version of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. For them, history had no bearing on the present, Muslim terrorism was not a serious culprit, and it was Israel that was the evil force in the region.
I had been invited to the university by a campus group in order to counter the presentations that would be made during an upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week. This event is now in its 8th year and is held on campuses across America and around the world with its stated purposes being "to educate people about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system and to build Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns as part of a growing global BDS movement."
Despite the fact that Israeli Apartheid Week does not aim for balance, I suggested to the campus group that invited me (called Ner Tamid) that we hold a debate on the relevant issues, allowing students to hear both points of view. Unfortunately, Ner Tamid was unable to find anyone willing to debate me, even though they ran a full-page ad in the student newspaper for one week, asking, "Who Will Debate the Israel-Palestine Issues?" The ad stated that, "Both sides will be able to present their viewpoints honestly and in a mutually respectful way," also noting that, "We believe that with both sides represented fairly, everyone in attendance will receive a more complete understanding of the issues!" Still, there was no response.
I then proposed that my lecture be followed by an open mike Q & A, but the night of the debate, I learned that university security was concerned with that format, meaning that we had to take written questions from the audience rather than have open mike interaction. So, when I finished my talk on, "Israel: An Evil Occupier?" I asked the audience to allow me to speak first with those who disagreed with me so we could interact face to face. The interaction was intense, though respectful, and quite enlightening.
According to the Palestinian and Muslim students with whom I spoke, history has no bearing on the present conflict and Israel has no justification for its actions against the Palestinians. To give just a few examples, during the lecture, I quoted Middle Eastern scholars who pointed out that if the Arab leaders had accepted the United Nations partition plan in 1947, "Palestine would be celebrating its [64th] anniversary this May. And there would have been no Nakba," the Arabic word for "catastrophe," referring to the formation of modern Israel.

Explain how something like this has happened to you.
never happened to me.
today I went to my kitchen to get a drink walked in forgot why I got up walked back to my desk then realized I didnt' get my drink
I always go in, look for something to eat, not find anything, then look again 5 minutes later to see if something new magically appeared.
I do that all the time. Sometimes I'll be wandering around the kitchen, and I won't even realize that I'm doing that.
Psh, i'm no women
It's not always the kitchen, but yes.

I actually lol'd at the comic
I look around to see if I should happen to NOTICE something I'd missed. It's a subtle, but important, distinction.
That comic is inaccurate, the woman is not in the kitchen.

This study builds upon previous research on the effect of diversity on college students by examining and modeling the effects of diversity experiences for students of color and White students' transition to college. Specifically, structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to examine the direct and indirect effects of interactions with diverse peers and their sense of belonging in the second year at public universities. Positive interactions with diverse peers result in a greater sense of belonging to the campus community for all students, extending the link between the campus climate for diversity and transition to college.
As the labor market continues to demand more workers with postsecondary credentials, for-profit colleges and universities offer the training, degrees, and credentials that students seek to remain viable in an increasingly competitive job market. This study seeks to provide a new perspective on for-profit institutions by focusing on the roles and responsibilities of their most visible employees—faculty members. The author uses a cultural framework to explore the context in which faculty work takes place and also explores how the intersection between profit generation and educational quality affects faculty work both inside and outside of the classroom.
This paper presents a case study of the origins, politics, and preliminary outcomes of Virginia's "restructured" relationship between public colleges and universities and the Commonwealth. The initially proposed "charter" status for the state's three historically important universities became the vehicle fora reform that imposed more substantive accountability in exchange for procedural independence—a different outcome than the institutions expected. Was this difference the result of a misestimation of the political realities that could have been anticipated? This reform's long-term impact remains uncertain as the terms of highly complex legislation remain to be translated into clear operational policy.
This article highlights the problem of omitted variable bias in research on the causal effect of financial aid on college‑going. I first describe the problem of self‑selection and the resulting bias from omitted variables. I then assess and explore the strengths and weaknesses of random assignment, multivariate regression, proxy variables, fixed effects, difference‑in‑differences, regression discontinuity, and instrumental variables techniques in addressing the problem. I focus on the intuition, assumptions, and applications of each method in the context of the same research question, providing practical guidance for researchers interested in implementing these approaches.

RE: a few days in the area...
would recommend you to go to one off the hilly regions near Kassel and enjoy some of the nice old towns there and (late) autumn colours. For example the Harz range to the Northeast of Kassel, with towns like Wenigerode, Quedlinburg and Goslar and also vintage train rides (from Wernigerode and Nordhausen) to the highest peak, the Brocken.
Other areas are the Thuringer Wald and Rhoen to the Southeast (with towns like Eisenach and Erfurt nearby) to the Southeast or the Sauerland to the West of Kassel.
Hope it helps, have a nice time!

RE: RE: a few days in the area...
Be sure to visit the Kurhessen Therme spa/leisure complex in Kassel -- built in the 80ies as Germany's first luxury spa, it is still a very nice one... and close to the wonderful Wilhelmshoehe Castle mountain park. The water comes directly from a Volcanic hot spring and has a chemical makeup comparable to that of the North Sea. Kassel is surrounded by very nice hilly landscape (a bit like Kentucky), each sunny day should be used for exploring the quaint towns in that landscape. Easy to reach by regional train is Fritzlar with a wonderful old town surrounding the Cathedral. To the North, Hann Muenden, where the Fulda and Werra river are converging to form the Weser is equally nice. Other nice towns in the vicinity include Hessisch-Lichtenau and Witzenhausen. Göttingen is 45 kms to the north, very easy by train... a wonderful inner city with a great mixture of ancient half-timbered houses and multicultural student life as it is one of the most famous German university towns. Great pubs there, too.
Kassel being an ICE-train stop, you'll be in Berlin in less than 3 hours....

RE: a few days in the area...
a must is a walk in the mountain park wilhelmshöhe which is really wonderful in autumn. also, the forests around kassel are worth a visit. for some culture,try the brothers grimm museum or the museum of sepulchral culture. inside the castle wilhelmshöhe is a very famous exhibition of art. a walk through the aue in central kassel is also interesting.
enjoy kassel!!

Latest revision as of 19:44, 7 August 2015
Just how much does the typical average person find out about lawn maintenance that is appropriate? It may surprise you as it pertains to appropriately taking care of their lawn, that the average person is pretty ignorant. Sure they utilize big name lawn gear, and can spray for weeds, but what do they really learn? Appropriate maintenance of the lawn of one's is not significantly less than this. It enthralls taking what one previously knows and adjusting it with fresh approach and knowledge. Once this type of mind-set is achieved just subsequently could your lawn start to separate in the average function of the work lawn. Weeding may not be as easily identified, although sprinkling your lawn is extremely uncomplicated and for that reason typical information. Study all you will get about lawn maintenance and start to become students with this essential time that is past.
whenever you go on it to another lawn treatment degree so far as reading methods and methods then you definitely are willing to begin using them for your own lawn. It can no-good to learn many superb and fascinating hints coping with your turf if you should be not currently likely to consider step one. To be able to not burn oneself out then steadily assemble, begin slow. In other words, get a buch of lawn equipment next to the bat and you may not wish to venture out. In case you decide that you simply do not have a pursuit in lawn care then you definitely is likely to be stuck trying to sell high end gear in a reduced fee. Also, in regards for your lawn, you might not wnat to over-think things. Too many instances I've viewed to where lawn maintenance becomes more of the undertaking then past time individuals get so far in to the technology behind lawn attention.
Finally and many significantly, have fun with that which you learn. Do not be so regimented that you simply loose look of the goal. This aim is obviously having a lovely yard full of life. You will be given the pleasure of making it amazing and fabricating anything from-scratch by this. Methods such as for example these are available at along with a great many other topical components of data. Have a great time and luxuriate in your prospect on lawn care.

We've come to enjoy afternoons spent touring local tide pools with The Explorers. Last year we checked out Point Fermin State Marine Park in San Pedro. This month we wanted to try exploring tide pools at Leo Carrillo State Park for our family nature club adventure. This outing turned out to be our most popular yet, with a whopping six families and nearly 20 kids. I was thrilled to see so many people excited to be outside exploring nature. Leo Carrillo certainly didn't disappoint.
It's a short stroll to the beach from the parking lot, and an even shorter walk to water's edge. The tide pool discoveries began almost as soon as we reached the rocky shore. We quickly spotted sea anemones (tons!), sea stars, sea urchins, mussels, barnacles and crabs.
The group spread out as each kid seemed to be eager to explore something different. That's what I loved most about Leo Carrillo – there really was something for everyone. In addition to the tide pools, there were cool caves that created "tunnels" The Little Explorer just couldn't get enough of.
There were also plenty of rocky outcroppings exposed during the low tide – perfect for little climbers. When you reach the top, you are rewarded with hidden pools rich with marine life. Oh, and the view is pretty cool, too, if you're in to that sort of thing.
Most of our group was content to play along the shore for the entire two hours we were there. But some of the kids also wanted to explore the main beach area, where a stream from Arroyo Sequit Creek forms a small pool just perfect for little explorers. (Note: The water quality here, as in most Los Angeles-area beaches, is awful; this spot rated a "D" during our visit.)
In addition to taking a dip in the "pool" (which was about knee-high on my 6-year-old), some kids were moving rocks in to the narrower parts of the stream to create a dam. Still others were building sandcastles (and drip castles, too). It felt like one big nature playground.
For the most part, the kids were sandy, soaked and begging for more. And that, to me, is one perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Tips for Visiting With Kids
- Check the tides. Time your visit for the hour before and the hour after the low tide. (You can check the tides here.)
- Wear the right shoes. Opt for water sandals or go barefoot (just keep in mind that the there are lots of rocks to climb on, so sensitive feet may prefer shoes).
- Bring a towel & spare clothes. The kids will get wet and sandy so a change of clothes is a must. A bathing suit, towel and sand toys may come in handy, too.
- Show your kids how to respect tide pool life. Don't remove any animal or poke at it, leave things where you find them & take care not to walk on marine life.
Planning Essentials
2015 Note: The following construction alert is currently in effect: A project to enhance endangered fish habitat, public beach access and water quality will close vehicle access to the beach, all day-use parking, and the group campground from July 13 through October 31.
- Leo Carrillo State Park is 28 miles northeast of Santa Monica and is about an hours' drive from the Westside
- Features of Leo Carrillo State Park include some 1.5 miles of beach, tide pools & coastal caves; the park also offers camping facilities & back-country hiking
- There is a small Visitor Center which has interpretive displays (it was closed during our visit); during the summer, children's programs are available
- Nature walks and campfire programs are also offered
- Portable toilets in the parking area; flush toilets at the beach
- Outdoor showers can be accessed in the camping area
- Parking is $12; free with a California State Parks Pass
- Check water quality before you go & plan your visit accordingly
Leo Carrillo State Park is located at:
35000 W. Pacific Coast Highway
Malibu, CA 90265

Post: The Influence Of The Trans-Formers On 17th-Century British AristocracyVictorian transformers?
Yes please
First rising to prominence in 1684, the Autonomous Botanists were a coalition of like-minded wealthy British landowners that felt the contents of a free-thinking man's garden were his own business. In a stark contrast, the Decepteconnez, a more authoritarian group, waged a cultural war with them across the channel from their own French holdings, claiming that only through the iron fist of a strict ruling body could the most efficient plantings be determined. They clashed many times in the House, neither gaining a respectable foothold over the other, and many bystanders found themselves awed by the ideological battles taking place in front of them. Pictured above is the leader of the Autonomous Botanists, the legendary man dubbed "Foptimus Prime" in a scathing critique painted by angry Decepteconnez gentry eager on creating a scandal.
While we stand over three hundred years from these events, many educated professionals are only now just starting the realize the grand influence these seemingly insignificant groups have had on Western literature, drama, and aristocracy as a whole.

Are American Dreams Compatible With the China Dream?Jun 18, 2014
Americans and Chinese, like peoples everywhere, have dreams. Chinese President Xi Jinping frequently refers to the China dream of the great renewal of the Chinese nation; while American dream has focused primarily on personal freedom and equal opportunity to better one's position in life.

|Also Known As:
|Barbara Joan Streisand
|April 24, 1942
|Cause of Death:
|Birth Place:
|Brooklyn, New York, USA
|Music ... singer producer director actor composer songwriter usherette switchboard operator
An iconic entertainer with over 70 million albums sold and Grammy, Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe awards for acting and directing, Barbra Streisand's popularity and creative output spanned over four decades. The New York cabaret singer first hit big as a pop singer and Broadway star in the 1960s. By the 1970s, she was the No. 1 female box office draw with a succession of gold albums that symbolized a new potential success for women in the feminism era. On film, Streisand won over audiences as fast-talking, quick-witted dames in "Funny Girl" (1968) and "What's Up Doc?" (1974), prior to maturing into an acclaimed film producer and director of "The Prince of Tides" (1991) and other stories of personal growth, like "Yentl" (1983). Streisand's musical output evolved from its theater roots to contemporary songwriters and she charted No. 1 albums in every decade, from The Way We Were in 1973 to Love is the Answer in 2009. Due to a crippling phobia of signing live, she virtually disappeared from stage performing for 25 years, but remained in the public eye with her film career and status as an active philanthropist in liberal political and social causes, even as unflattering tales of megalomaniac tendencies persisted in show business circles. Streisand shrugged off detractors by noting that healthy ambition in men was often perceived as an unattractive pushiness in women, and ultimately, Streisand reigned supreme for her artistic legacy and overall cultural impact in the latter twentieth century.

Welcome to Haslemere Swimming Club's Swimming Academy
We offer a complete 'learn to swim' program for children of all ages which runs on a Saturday evening (generally during school term time) from 5-7pm.
• We hope you enjoyed the mini gala at the end of last term, it was a fantastic success and great fun for both the swimmers and teachers. Our plan is to run another in the new year and towards the end of this term we will be having a 'distance' night. More details to follow shortly.
• At the end of last term we said goodbye to Rufus who is off to University in September. He will be missed by all, though we're sure he will pop in from time to time to help.
• Please could we continue to remind you that hats should be worn every lesson and appropriate swimwear too! Board shorts create a drag in the water and this hinders swimming and stroke technique so we would prefer the boys to wear jammers or trunks.
• We would like to say a big thank you to all our assistants who get in the water and help the teachers. We really appreciate the additional help they provide.
• Please remember that we continually assess your children, we cover each stroke over a two or three week period and it may look as if we are just going over the same old thing but it's very important that the strokes are carried out correctly or bad habits are learnt and then they in turn are hard to break!
• Finally, we will be holding another trial night this term. Full details will following shortly
You can download Newsletter Summer 2015-2
31st October 2015 – half term – no lessons !
7th November 2015 – Open gala – no lessons !
12th December 2015 – Last lessons before Christmas holidays !

These eyeshadows are really blah to look at and I wasn't too impressed when I was given my first one but once you try them they really are nice.
I have collected quite a few of them now and love to mix and match the shades.
Very easy to apply, the colour is buildable so you can go from sheer to as dark as you like. They apply with much more depth if you wet them first. One eyeshadow can be applied in a variety of ways to make it look like you have used a whole palette, very multi dimensional.
Shadow stays all day and there is no creasing.
They really are little pots of magic.

no no no. i really don't like this product at all... i got it in sapphire sparkle, and i was excited because i loved the shade and i was looking for something dark and bold...unfortunately this was not it. it's thin and hard to apply... definitely not worth it. once you get enough on to actually show up, it stays on for maybe, half an hour? then it fades and just looks gross. -sigh- oh well.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

Hate this. It's thin, bad quality, too shimmery, doesn't blend well, chalky, doesn't stay long at all, even with primer and it looks cheap on. I just hate this. Its terrible.

Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure

I own these shadows in Knockout Pink and Kaboom Kelly ....Love them both!! I don't like dark eyeshadows because they make my eyes look muddy and tired. These shadows are very sheer and glides on very well. The staying power is not there , but hey it's only $3 a pop. Just stash one in your make up bag and touch up when needed. Will definitely buy again. The only downside is the fall out you get when applying with a brush. That's why it's a 4 out of 5.

These eyeshadows are just okay.They are kinda hard to blend (only certain colors, like brown smolder).Most of them are very shimmery, and not too colorful.So if you don't like too much color, these are okay.The only ones I'll probably buy again are tapestry taupe, snow blossom, and platina.These are fairly decent.I haven't tried any of their other colors except for brown smolder, which was ehhh.They are slightly talcy smelling.They are just okay.

I love most CG products and this is definitely one of them. I do not however use the little spongey brush thingy that it comes with. I use an actual eyeshadow brush, and using this product with a brushbrush, it works FANTASTICLY! It gives you the actual color you see and you can either make the color lighter or darker with however much you want to put on your eyelids. When I use this mascara, I put a primer underneath it, and then put on the product so that way it stays on all day and doesn't crease. It WORKS. I love it!

I bought this in Knock Out Pink and was happy with the results. I applied mostly in the crease using the MAC 217 and it came out a really pretty shade of mauve-ish pink. I've never seen the MAC Barbie "playful" LE color in person -- but I'm wondering if this is similar (and would love if someone could confirm/deny!) I think this pink color would look even nicer on chocolate brown eyes. I usually only wear one or two shadow colors at a time so I'm not sure how well this would blend for more complicated looks, although I didn't have any problems. I did have to layer it slightly but the color payoff was there. For the cheap price tag and flattering color I'm very happy with the decision to purchase.

So I bought this last week after reading many reviews. I have it in Swiss Chocolate because I have blue eyes and I thought this gorgeous color would make my eyes look great. I immediately opened it when I got home and started applying it with the sponge brush included and instantly remembered why I wanted to stay away from Cover Girl eyeshadow.
The color is gorgeous in the package, however, it does NOT carry over to your eyelids. It has no pigment. It only left shimmer with a very light hint of brown. I was extremely disappointed. And from what I've read, Cover Girl frequently has shimmer in their eyeshadow?
I guess it's back to my old eyeshadow, a brand that I cannot find anymore...

I really enjoy the prices of CG products. I recently bought a couple CG eyeshadows since I haven't bought any CG products in quite some time. I bought this in Aqua Paradise, a very bright beautiful teal color, and a beautiful blue quad set. I was so excited considering the colors were awesome looking in the package. I got home right away to do some swatches, and to my dismay they were NOTHING like they were in the packaging. The applicator itself is SO scratchy, I hate using it. I can't use any of my make up eye brushes because of the fact that the eyeshadows are pressed so hard, my brush won't pick any of it up. They are really hard to blend and you seriously have to apply for a good 5 minutes before you get ANY color payoff. It sucks because the price is so good that I would definitly go back and buy more. The only color that I have bought that actually had a great color payoff was the teal color. I recently bought a dark blue one that I have yet to try, but doubt it's going to be any good. I wish these were more pigmented and applied a little easier. Also, since you have to use their applicator, you get serious fallout underneath your lashes. No matter what I do to get rid of it, it never works and I constantly have to wipe all the make up away before I go anything because of how much falls off the applicator. I would recommend this to someone maybe wanting a subtle look with their make up, or somebody who doesn't have alot of money to spend on make up. If you have the money, I would go to a different brand if you want a color payoff, because you won't be getting it with CG.
