Archangel Astray Gundam by Nightwing03Watch
©2008-2016 Nightwing03
This was done in about 2 days, very simple to do. This was heavily based off Heretic's/Gunfox's [link] Double Zero design, which i absolutley fell in love with. So from permission from Heretic/Gunfox i modified the design to my tastes.
Very nice.
looks awesome
That is one awesome-ass Gundam. I wouldn't mess with that if I had the Freedom.
very cool! what did you use to make this one?
Lets see...Astray Green Frame, GINN High Maneuver Type, Pixie Gundam (ORE-GUN), Raysta and a fanart piece of the Aile Striker.
lolz. I meant the art tools.
there's an astray green frame now?
there's an astray green frame now?

|Crime Prevention
Protecting Yourself From Crime
Most crimes are "crimes of opportunity". A criminal often targets the easiest home to enter, the easiest car to break into, or the easiest purse to snatch. One of the best ways to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of a more serious crime such as assault, sexual assault, or robbery, is to avoid dangerous situations. Most criminals want easy targets, so making it tough for them will reduce your risk. You can reduce your risk of becoming a crime victim by reducing the opportunity. Here are some ideas:
Personal Safety
Basic Street Sense
On Foot - Day and Night
On Wheels
If Someone Tries to Rob You:
Home Security
Check the Locks
Check the Doors
Check the Outside
There's More You Can Do

Phase II of the effort is planned to start in the spring of 2011 and will install the cyclotron and additional radiopharmaceutical laboratories (4060 sf) in the basement floor of the Wallace Tumor Institute (WTI). With new stringent guidelines established by the FDA in December of 2009 for radiopharmaceuticals (PET agents included) this facility will be constructed to meet these requirements. HEPA filtered air will be flowing into all areas of production including the hot cells where radiation chemistry synthesis modules will be located for production of various radiopharmaceuticals.
The cyclotron will be a TR24 cyclotron manufactured by Advanced Cyclotron Systems (ACS), a division of EBCO. The machine operates at 24MeV and has current capacity of 300uA. This is a powerful cyclotron and will enable UAB to produce many different radionuclides with appreciable yields including PET radioisotopes, SPECT radioisotopes, radiotherapeutic isotopes, and radioisotopes for research applications for SPECT animal imaging that could be correlated with MRI. The cyclotron and associated radiopharmaceutical laboratories will be positioned in immediate adjacency to the human PET/CT. Dedicated access to a cyclotron with specialized radioisotope production capabilities and in close proximity to our human and animal imaging is a fundamental component of the imaging facility.

The IFTTA Law Review 3-2015 is now available for download in the members area. It contains articles by Ernst Führich on the European Air Passenger Rights Regulation and by Ivo Mravicic ont the contractual relation between hotels and tour operators as well as a recent judgement of the CJEU with regard to the European Air Passenger Rights Regulation. Due to an error of the publishing company, the pdf file was only sent today. Hence the delay in making it available for IFTTA members online.
The plaintiff had booked a package to the Dominican Republic with the defandant. Defendant's terms and conditions provided that with regard to third party services (such as local excursions), the defendant was only liable for proper intermediation but not for the proper performance of the services themselves. Defendant's local representative in the Dominican Republic distributed weekly schedules to the guests containing various optional excursions.
On March 17, 2015 the German Supreme Court (BGH) has passed two judgements with regard to Regulation (EC) 216/2004.
The plaintiff had booked a package to the Maldives with the defendant. The package included a transfer by floatplane from Malé to the island where the hotel was situated. Accorsing to the Operating Manual of the carrier, it is necessary to moor the floatplane with three ropes. The crew is required to stand at each side of the entrance in order to assist the passengers boarding the aircraft. When the plaintiff was about to board, despite some waves the floatplane was only moored with two ropes and only one member of the crew was standing next to the entrance.
The case relates to an accident suffered by the plaintiff when on holiday in Barbados in September 2008. She had gone onto the balcony of her hotel room to read a book, closingbehind her the sliding glass balcony doors. When the telephone in her room rang a short time later, she got up from her chair and made to go back to the room, but she walked into
The plaintiffs, domiciled in Bludesch (Austria), booked and paid for themselves, as private individuals, a package holiday to Egypt on the website of a German online travel agent. The OTA, a company whose registered office is in Munich (Germany), stated that it acted as the travel agent and that the trip would be operated by a particular our operator, which has its registered office in Vienna (Austria).
The plaintiffs, a married couple, took part in a package trip to Scotland organised by the defendant. At the occasion of a visit to the old blacksmith's shop at Gretna Green, a pretended wedding cermony was enacted in which the plaintiffs played the bride and the groom. The bus driver took pictures of this 'ceremony'.
The plaintiffs, domiciled in Germany, had rented a holiday home in Belgium from a Danish tour operator (the defendant). They had several complaints about the condition of the home and claimed for a price reduction. Based on the consumer forum pursuant to Articles 15 and 16 of the Brussels I-Regulation they filed their claim before their local court. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss the claim on the ground of lacking international jurisdiction of German courts.
The Russell family booked a holiday package to Spain. At the time of booking they made clear that they were not seasoned travellers and specifically requested accommodation which was suitable for young children because they took along their 4 year old daughter. They were duly reassured. At the hotel they were allocated to a room with a glass balcony door. Shortly after arrival, while the parents were unpacking, the girl ran towards the door. She failed to realise that it was still shut and collided with it.
The plaintiffs, both Austrian residents domiciled in Bludesch (Austrian Province of Vorarlberg), had booked a holiday package to Egypt organized by an Austrian tour operator located in Vienna. The booking was made online through the website of a German travel agency. By mistake of either the tour operator or the travel agency, they were booked to a different (but similary named) hotel than they had actually chosen. They filed a law suit against both, the travel agency and the tour operator, before their local court in Vorarlberg.

Bicol University was created as a state university in the Bicol Region on June 21, 1969 by the Republic Act 5521 and formally organized only on September 22, 1970. Section 2 of the Republic Act 5521[9] formalized the BU's existence by merging of the following schools to form integrated units of the university:
- The Bicol Teachers College (BTC) with its Laboratory School in Daraga, Albay, now the BU College of Education (BUCE) with its Laboratory School
- The Daraga East Central School (DCES) also in Daraga, Albay, initially renamed as Bicol University Pilot Elementary School (BUPES), is fused with the BUCE Laboratory School.
- The Albay High School also in Legazpi, now BUCE Laboratory School
- The Bicol Regional School of the Arts and Trades (BRSAT) converted from the Albay Trade School, also in Legazpi City, by virtue of Republic Act 1129 on June 16, 1954,[10] is now the College of Industrial Technology and the College of Engineering.
- The Roxas Memorial Agricultural School (RMAS) opened collegiate courses on June 18, 1949[11] in Guinobatan, Albay, became the College of Agriculture; and now known as the College of Agriculture and Forestry.
- The School of Fisheries in Tabaco, Albay became the College of Fisheries, now the University Tabaco Campus.
- The School for Philippine Craftsmen in Polangui, now the Bicol University Polangui Campus.
These public schools and colleges, now part of Bicol University, have trained and educated the people of Bicol for more than half a century prior to their integration as component units of the Bicol University.
Through the leadership of historian-lawyer, Dr. Ricardo A. Arcilla, who, as Bicol University's first president, has been given charge over the institution for its first decade of existence, the development path of BU was charted. Unity and harmony was considerably attained among the initial constituent units of the University. Policy making was systematized. To engender powerful forces of forward movement in education and research, Graduate Education was offered in June 1972 with its first batch of enrollees in Master of Arts in Education Program. In the same year, the College of Arts and Sciences was established, followed by the College of Nursing in 1973.
The ensuing decade of university existence was marked by a period of linkages with several organizations and agencies, rapid growth, and new spectra of activity such as the Center for Cultural Studies, Computer Center, Audio-Visual production center, including a number of community and extension projects. With Judge Aquilino B. Bonto running the university, the decentralization of the administrative and financial management of the University was realized thereby endowing the colleges with more autonomy. It is to his merit that a Medium-term Development Plan of BU was plotted. In 1981, an externally funded program supported by the World Bank was organized- the Regional Institute of Fishery Technology in the College of Fisheries aimed to give a strengthened Diploma in Fisheries Technology Program. This diploma program remained even after the World Bank's support ended on December 31, 1988.
The year 1987 was significant to the BU College of Agriculture for it was then when the institution was chosen as one of the implementers of the Agricultural Technology Education Program by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. Financed by an Asian Development Bank loan, BUCA served as a pilot provincial Technological Institute in Agriculture.
Five years later, two more achievements were put on line; the rise of BU Institute of Communication and Cultural Studies (BUICCS) to give way for the Bachelor of Communication Arts curriculum, and the hosting of the Regional Science Teaching Center of the Department of Science and Technology in Region V. Owing to Dr. Patria G. Lorenzo, the third president who is a multi-awarded educator and leader, infrastructure development was carried out, however, cultural and value transformation was rendered of paramount importance.
The increasing number of enrollment and the changing demands of the time paved the way for the establishment of the BS Forestry Program in 1993; hence the College of Agriculture was renamed "College of Agriculture and Forestry". Likewise the College of Fisheries was restructured to be the BU Tabaco Campus. The following year, the Science Teaching Center hosted by BU was made a component unit of the University. Within the span of three years, the BU Gubat Campus was converted into a Bicol University extension program, similar to that of Camp Crame. In 1995, the Computer Science Institute was born in response to the extreme mobility of Communication and Information Technology. Its founding went hand in hand with the renaming of the School of Arts and Trades as "College of Industrial Technology", and the shaping of the Institute of Physical Education, Sports and Recreation to manage PE classes and Sports and Recreation Programs of the University. All of these would not have materialized if not for Dr. Lylia Corporal-Sena, the fourth president of the university who took that bold step to expand BU's academic, research and extension endeavors.
From 1993-2003, the decentralized administrative and fiscal system in the University was fortified. Remarkable leaps in the Information and Technology programs were achieved, and the Drawing of Comprehensive Development Plan was done. Under the presidency of Dr. Emiliano A. Aberin, the University, likewise, integrated the School of Philippine Craftsmen in Polangui, Albay. The unit is known at the present as the BU Polangui Campus.
Bicol University continues to forge viable ways to be in forefront of service to the region and the nation. Under the first two-year stewardship of Dr. Susana C. Cabredo, the sixth president of the University, the blueprint of Comprehensive Development Plan had finally taken shape. It had paved the way for the restructuring of the University's academic courses that gave birth to at least four new colleges: the College of Arts and Letters (CAL), the College of Science (CS), the College of Business, Economics and Management (CBEM), and the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP). Dr. Cabredo had also effected administrative issuance aimed at achieving the very essence of the Comprehensive Development Plan, which included the deployment of personnel and faculty members, clustering of administrative and academic workforce, and designating of officials to new posts.
At present the Bicol University hopes to be a purveyor of academic excellence through productive scholarship in a world where the individual has his own cup to fill, a pace and direction to follow.

The finished dumplings, properly fried to a light crisp. The half-moon shape was meant to resemble ancient Chinese currency. Eating the dumplings was believed to bring fortune and prosperity.
Daniel M.N. Turner/NPR
hide caption
February 15, 2013 Chinese New Year began last weekend, but traditionally, festivities last another week, so there's still time if you want to celebrate by making dumplings. We bring you a visual how-to.
Year cakes made of sticky rice are among the traditional Chinese New Year foods.
hide caption
February 8, 2013 Eating foods that symbolize wealth, longevity and fertility is key to the Chinese New Year, which begins this year with a New Year's Eve feast on Feb. 9. And, lucky for us, the northern Chinese tradition of making dumplings late at night has spread throughout the world.

I am not excited about it either. I went in for my 39 week check. Baby girl was still breech so we scheduled my csection for 4:00. I was planning a natural unmedicated birth and now I get this.Ā
Ladies, enjoy being pregnant, enjoy having your baby being head down, enjoy the contractions when they start. Take it all in. It's such an amazing experience that I was looking forward to again. I LOVED being 39 weeks preggo. It's so much fun watching my baby move in my belly. Please don't complain about being uncomfortable. Enjoy every minute
Well, it looks like we made the right choice. When I got to the hospital I was in fact in labor. We went ahead with the csection. During the surgery we found that I had three things going on. First, Āshe was in fact footling breech and stuck in there very tight, she had the cord around her neck and the final kicker is that I have a bicornuate uterus. My OB described my uterus as only having a left side. She did not even have words to describe it. The only place babies have to go are on my left side. There was no room for the baby to turn because the right side of my uterus never developed. I also learned that I only have one functioning fallopian tube. Taking all of that into consideration we now know why my other kids came at 35 and 37 weeks and this one was breech. I guess it's common with this condition.
Once we learned all of this I was very happy with our choice. We did not have to risk my water breaking and having a cord accident. What a relief.Ā
The csection was not horrible at all. The worst part was the catheter. When they put it in the baby was dancing on it and it hurt worse than any contraction I have ever had. ĀI was able to shower, get dressed and even do my hair this morning. I feel just as good as I did after my vaginal deliveries. I have a lot of energy and don't feel at all like I thought I would. I was afraid that I would not feel like I experienced labor and birth but I have to say that this birth was a miracle. I am so blessed to have her in my arms.Ā
Anyway, on to the details. Gracyn was born at 39 weeks 6 pounds 8 ounces, 20 inches long at 4:49 pm She was latched on to my breast within 45 min. of surgery and has not let go since. I am sorry this is so choppy, I had so much to say!

Welcome to Part 1 of a three-part series that lays out the basics of lenses for novices and those who could use a refresher. In this part of the Lens Primer, Larry Becker, of Kelby Media, explores concepts such as aperture, image stabilization (IS) or vibration reduction (VR), and telephoto zoom lenses versus primes.
Did you ever look at a camera and say, "Wow, this thing can do everything!"? My first impression of the Olympus PEN E-P5 Mirrorless Digital Camera was a bit like that; there are so many functions and customizable options I was concerned that I would get lost in the possibilities.
Sony has announced a new long zoom, high-performance point-and-shoot camera: the Cyber-shot HX50V Digital Camera. With a 20.4MP BSI Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ Image Processor, sharp imagery, low-light sensitivity, quick performance, and fast autofocus speeds are part and parcel.
The recently introduced Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM lens is the first lens to be part of Sigma's Global Vision Sports line, and as such, strives to be a highly precise and optically sound lens that can function well in fast-paced situations.
Sony has announced their 2013 lineup of Handycam camcorders. These are consumer and enthusiast-level cameras with a host of new features, many of which have trickled down from Sony's prosumer models. The new Handycams range from the entry-level HDR-CX220 to the HDR-TD30V, a 3D camcorder for advanced enthusiasts.
In this video from B&H, Larry Becker offers a basic introduction to the challenges of, and solutions for, shooting in low light with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. He explains ISO sensitivity, shutter speed and aperture settings and demonstrates how simple in-camera adjustments will provide marked improvements when shooting indoors.
2012 has seen an in increase in all things mirrorless, that being a bit of an umbrella term for compact interchangeable-lens cameras, their lenses and adapters. Canon, for example, released its first mirrorless camera system in 2012 and most major manufacturers have added new cameras to their mirrorless lineups. Of course, a growing list of lenses for these cameras—of all focal lengths—is now available, too.
This useful video uses four camcorders to clearly demonstrate a few tips that should help you improve the quality of your video recordings. The four camcorders used to illustrate these concepts are the Canon VIXIA HF M50, the Sony PJ580V, the Panasonic HC-X900K and the JVC EVERIO GZ-EX210.
Even with the dropping prices of DSLRs and the rising appeal of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, the so called "bridge" camera is as popular as ever. "Bridge cameras" are big-bodied, big zoom point-and-shoot cameras that have the look and heft of a more expensive and feature-heavy camera but still maintain the simplicity of the standard and compact point-and-shoot cameras.
Our hands-on video review of the weather-resistant Pentax K-30 Digital Camera covers the standout features of the camera and also shows it in action with a couple of lens choices, including the SMC Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED lens and the SMC Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens.

Stay ahead of the competition with the fun Bubbles Silicone Swim Cap.
Easy Uglies
I bought this cap as a spare for the same model Uglies I am now using regularly. Bathing caps are a challenge for me to put on since my hair is fine and silky. This is one is easy to get on, get loose strands tucked in, and still looks like new despite repeated wearings.

Versatile swim cap
Basic black with multi-color to go with all different color bathing suits. A little hard to put on compared to my one-liner swim caps.

Good quality, Great buy!
fits great, seals great, stays in place.
Kristin H.
Bought for my 14 year old
I bought this cap for my 14 year old who swims on her middle school swim team and also local swim club team. She was looking for something different. She said the cap fit a little tight at first. She also got lots of positive comments on the cap

Clinon, IN
Fab purchase
This swim cap is wonderful, the design lovey and its thick. Delivery was fast. The perfect gift for my daughter.
A little small
We purchase this cap for our 12-year-old daughter and even though she has a small head, this is a little too tight for her and unfortunately we're going to have to pass it down to someone else because she feels it's going to rip. The cap itself is very nice and of good quality.
Dolphin Mom
Hayward, CA
fits great and my daughter loves it!!
Chicago, IL
Do not buy this! Had it for a week and already ripped!
This cap is poorly made! My daughter is a competitive swimmer and the cap ripped after a week of use.
don't bother
black is more gray -- the entire tip of the cap is fused together -- to make it look like a 'fin' -- poor quality and will be sending it back

Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt cause
Lyric Meaning
After several critically acclaimed albums, Eminem was considered a top tier rapper, famously known for his his lyricism and rhyming.
Even in recent music, like Control, Kendrick Lamar mentions Eminem:
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
But, after releasing Encore and Relapse, people have wondered whether Eminem has lost his touch, as those albums not keeping up to the caliber and quality as his first three albums.
Kept up working on his new album, Eminem has a last chance to change everyone's minds about doubting him. To bring up his evolution, his standing at the top of the food chain, his status as the fittest rapper, to an erupting climax.

So lovely
very cool picture
amazing clare !!!
Что то знакомое - думал я, а потом увидел название и все сошлось ХD Очень клевая фотка !
WOW - so amazing!
Wow, incredible!
Great scenic shot!
Amazing And really nice location!
Really well done ! I love it ! <3
I /loved/ this anime.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL kinda look like a doll ^.^
So so so beautiful!
First off, I always like to encourage these sort of cosplay location shots because I personally find convention shots boring (it's sort of like looking at other people's vacation pictures) but even for a location shot, this is outstanding. I love the sense of grandeur you've captured not only by having the vast expanse between Clare's perch on the cliff and the trees in the distance but also the separation between her and the photographer's location. Great job. This is the sort of thing I always hope to seeing on DA when I log on.
Such an amazing place for a cosplay shoot! Great job this looks gorgeous!
nice photo. quite different from regular cosplays. very scenic. like going into clare's thoughts for a bit

It is a garni hotel, threrefore you have to go out for a dinner. Spa area is small but nice.
Rooms are bright and clean.
The greatest value of this hotel is the location- next to the cable car.
There is also a garage parking.
The Almhof is well located next to one of Ischgl's 3 gondola stations, close to the centre, but does not suffer from the noise and rowdiness of Ischgl's main street. Complimentary car parking is available in the hotel's underground car park.
Although the hotel is essentially B&B, pizzas and toasted sandwiches are served in the bar. (This came in handy...
We drove to Ischgl from UK for a week's skiing and had a great trip. The town is pretty, the ski area large and the snow preparation faultless. This is a great ski destination. We will be returning and almost certainly to the same hotel.
The Sporthotel Almhof itself is in a great position for the main lift, you just...
Just stayed 4 nights at the Almhof and it was perfect for postion to the lift right next door, the staff were all very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast we could not fault with everything you need.Garage car parking which was good with the cold temps.
We will stay again
This hotel is perfectly located in Ischgl and it is very (!) close to the Silvrettabahn, the big gondola, which brings you up to the centre of all slopes. Almhof allows you to access the queue of the gondola in the middle rather at the end as this is the place where you come out of the hotel.
Even if...
This hotel is exactly 10 meters from the main Idalpe lift, so there is no better location!! We stayed here during full season (middle of February) or as the Austrians call it "Ski Magic". Despite this fact though, the prices we got (99euro per person per night) were really good considering the location and time of our visit. The style...

We stayed with entire family over New Year in Ritz Carlton Bahrain and we really enjoyed our stay. The Hotel looks old from outside and we also were a bit skeptical when we booked it, but the Hotel has been refurbished very nicely and you feel extremely comfortable, not only in the room (we had club rooms), but also in the club area. Variety and quality of feed was very good and the service outstanding. We celebrated the new years even in the hotel at a themed white party - the best food I ever had in a hotel. From ... Caviar, Oysters, Lobsters to Sushi and other delicious food. Simply great event ! Hotel offers a lot to the guests - they even have an indoor pool. Tennis, Gym, Squash, all available and some outlets have been refurbished very nicely. Great Hotel ! read hotel review

I have stayed in a number of Ritz-Carlton hotels and this one maintained my positive view of them, namely that you pay a little more but get a quality building, consistently good service and a decent range of F&B options. The hotel is now over 20 years old and it wont be too long before some areas will need a refurb. One, small, downside is that few of the rooms have a balcony to be able to fully appreciate the views read hotel review

In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, there're multiple ways to manage a device: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682022.aspx. In this blog, we will give the detailed step by step guidance on how to install the mobile device legacy client.
In general, there're five steps:
1. Prepare the necessary PKI certificate
Follow the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699362.aspx for the PKI certificate requirements for Management Point, Distribution Point and mobile devices.
Follow the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682023.aspx for step by step guidance on deploy the certificate for Management Point, Distribution Point, and mobile device.
2. Configure CA Web Enrollment server to use SSL
This is required for CM 2012
3. Enable Device Management Point and Configure Distribution Point on CM Site Server
4. Prepare client installation files
5. Transfer the installation files to device and start install
Now we will give the details on step 3 & 4.
Open SCCM Admin Console, and go to Administration \ Overview \ Site Operations \ Servers and Site Systems roles. In the Site System Roles panel, right click "Management Point", and choose "Allow mobile devices to use this management point".
To verify DMP is installed successfully, you can either check the DMPSetup.log or use self-test URL: https://<siteserName>/devicemgmt?selftest
Open SCCM Admin Console, and go to Administration \ Overview \ Site Operations \ Servers and Site Systems roles. In the Site System Roles panel, right click "Distribution Point", in the "General" Panel, select "Allow intranet and Internet connections"
To install mobile device legacy client, we need to prepare for the installation files. Each device platform has its own specific installation files. Generally, for all the platforms, they will need 7 files:
The file is located under
Re-name is required. Please rename the file to "enroll.exe".
Don't rename this file. It will fail to install if the file names changes.
The sample setting file is located under
Don't rename this file.
In the ClientSettings.ini, we need configure below settings before kick-off the installation.
Setting name
How to configure
FQDN of the machine which hosts the CA.
FQDN of the machine which hosts the DMP site system role
Site code the primary site which DMP belongs to.
FQDN of the machine which hosts the FSP site system role. If your site has no FSP, please ignore this setting
You can get the key from file
%SCCM_Installed_Dir%\bin\i386\MobileClient.tcf (open the file with notepad)
After file preparation, we will have 7 files for each platform. Let's take WinCE 6.0 for example, and assuming the CE machine is ARM. We will have below files.
Now to install client agent becomes easier.
Copy files to the device
Kick off the process dmclientsetup_arm.exe
Log files are located at CE machine's \Temp\ folder. If the installation failed, please check the network connectivity between CE machine and CA, between CE machine and DMP.

Scientists Explore the Molding of Children's Morals
By SUSAN GILBERT
Published: March 18, 2003
Along with their academic education, students in kindergarten through 12th grade in the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township in Indianapolis have another field of study: character education.
Each school displays a poster listing what the district has identified as the ''life skills for building character,'' including honesty, fairness and trustworthiness. Teachers look for ways to reinforce these traits each day.
Classroom discussions focus on the moral strengths and weaknesses of characters in the books that students have read. Students make quilts and write songs celebrating the life skills. They get buttons and other rewards for putting the skills into practice.
While the Lawrence Township schools are exceptional in the scope of their initiative, they are not alone in their effort to calibrate the moral compasses of their students. Over the last few years, schools in 48 states have introduced character education programs in the hope of bolstering students' resolve to resist the temptation to lie, cheat, bully, use drugs and behave immorally in other ways. The Department of Education has promoted these efforts by giving $27 million in character education grants since 1995.
Many of the programs draw on some recent research showing that although all children are born with the capacity to be moral, it needs to be nurtured by parents, schools and the community at large. Otherwise, its development is stunted.
Without a firm sense of right and wrong, some experts say, children tend to become cynical, alienated and extremely selfish. They cheat to get ahead, rationalizing that ''everybody does it.'' They lack the social obligation to control their anger when they feel that they have been wronged. In the extreme, tragedies happen, like the massacre at Columbine.
Much of the impetus for character education in schools is a perception that the moral fiber of children as well as adults is unraveling. Two-thirds of Americans think that society is less honest and moral than it used to be, according to ''Bowling Alone,'' published in 2000, by Dr. Robert Putnam, a professor of public policy at Harvard.
Last year, a poll of 12,000 high school students by the Josephson Institute of Ethics, a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, Calif., found that 74 percent admitted cheating on a test in the previous year.
But some researchers -- while not denying that there is considerable room for improvement -- say children today are no less moral than their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were as children.
Dr. Elliot Turiel, the author of ''The Culture of Morality,'' published last year, says cheating is just as common today as it was in the 1920's. He compared surveys of students done then with the findings of recent surveys like those of the Josephson Institute and found that the percentage of students who admitted to cheating was roughly the same.
''It may be that kids today are fresh and disobedient in fairly large numbers,'' said Dr. Turiel, a psychologist at the University of California at Berkeley, ''but was it really different in the past? It wasn't with cheating.''
Dr. Turiel and other researchers criticize many of the character education programs in schools for being superficial and ineffective. ''Morality isn't traits of character but a complicated set of judgments,'' he said.
Dr. John M. Doris, a philosophy professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz, goes as far as to question whether there is such a thing as a moral character. He says that the existence of moral character, described by philosophers as far back as Aristotle, is not supported in the scientific literature today.
In ''Lack of Character,'' a book published in December, Dr. Doris reviews the psychology literature on moral behavior and concludes that character traits have very little bearing on whether a person will act morally. He cites studies that found that a person's willingness to do a good deed -- in this case, calling the police to report a street crime -- hinges less on character traits like trustworthiness or altruism than on specific circumstances, whether the person is in a hurry, for example.
There is little research showing just what techniques work to nurture morality in children. But the small studies that have been done suggest that discussions that get students working through moral quandaries and community service activities have measurable results.
''High schools that have instituted community service programs report much less misbehavior and drug use,'' said Dr. Marvin Berkowitz, a developmental psychologist at the University of Missouri in St. Louis, who is compiling a database of research on character education programs.
Morality means somewhat different things to different people, but researchers who study moral development define it as a triad of emotions, thoughts and actions. Children learn right from wrong from their parents and other authority figures, but moral emotions reinforce this knowledge by making people feel guilty when tempted to tell a lie or fearful that they will get caught stealing or cheating. In that way, moral thoughts and emotions keep people on a steady course of moral actions.

Well, another year has come and gone for the New York State Fair.
As an annual fairgoer, I made my usual rounds to food vendors and buildings, did some shopping and caught some acts at Chevy Court. I went to see Eddie Money and thought it was so great that a local band was opening for him, Code Red. Nice to see Code Red get recognized for the amazing talent that they have. The song selection was perfect, brought me back to my younger years! Great job guys !

Visited SG and stayed for 3 nights at this hotel in their deluxe room. While the room itself is small, it is clean and has everything that you can expect to have for the price you pay. The bathroom lacks any shower curtain as I suspect it is intended to be used in a very Asian style (i.e. just wet area, no separate dry area). The air conditioner works really well, which is fantastic considering the climate. Easy walk to MRT with numerous buses passing nearby. Will definitely stay again!

On June 29, Playland, the kitschy amusement park in tony Rye, was once again the scene of a grisly accident. A 21-year-old park employee was killed when she was thrown from the Mind Scramblerthe third fatality in three years. But Susan Tolchin, chief adviser to Westchester County executive Andy Spano, says there's nothing for parents to fear. (Playland is owned and operated by Westchester County and is the only government-owned amusement park in the U.S.) These tragic accidents are isolated incidents, she says. Safety is first and foremost here, says Playland's director, Dan McBride. But the one thing we don't have control over is human nature. However, neither McBride nor Tolchin has ever taken a spin on the Mind Scrambler. I hardly ever go on amusement-park rides; they're not my thing, says Tolchin, who regularly brings her grandchildren to Playland. (They haven't been on the Mind Scrambler either, she says. I'm not even sure they're old enough or tall enough.) And McBride cites his weak stomach. I can't go on anything that goes around.
Is Playland Cursed?
No, say officials who don't ride rides.

copic markers, pitt pen on 9x12 inch drawing paper. I've realized that I seem to sketch or draw easier with a ballpoint pen, than i do with a pencil. so i thought i'd try to just lay down a rough pencil sketch and just draw it out in pen. I find it's easier, maybe more fluid. usually i would make sure the pencil drawing is as finished as possible before i ink it. Going to do a few of these and see how it goes.
Beautiful anatomy!! I love the sinuous flowing tail with the extra little fins and webby tail fluke! The armfins and webbed fingers look exotic, too...love that look!!
Wow super awesome !
Love this!
what happen to her nose?

thanks, I don't think anything happened to her nose.
Its just a bit darker, i thought some was wrong, but the rest of her is totally perfect.
I like the change of style and more sketch-like appearance. Feels more organic.

Last Second Stay
Booked late on a weekday evening on a foggy night so very last minute.
Chef was covering for landlords and made me feel very welcome. Nice print of Doombar and a comfy bed were great end to a long day driving. Met landlords later and they were lovely. Great breakfast, well cooked and good portion. Great views over the river and ferry crossing to Tewkesbury. If the people you'll meet matter more to you then this is the place for a good value stay. Would recommend.

In her books, videos, albums, and live appearances, she shares her own poignant stories of tragedy and adversity to encourage people to laugh at themselves while thinking seriously about their daily lives.
Chonda was a preacher's kid who literally grew up in church, and her regular seat there—second row, piano side—inspired her first album, Live! From the Second Row, Piano Side!; her first book, Life on the Second Row, Piano Side!; even her Second Row Ministries, Inc. Though she has plenty of fond memories from her childhood, later years were filled with agonizing heartbreak.
"Just before I entered college, my only sisters passed away. The oldest in a car accident, the youngest had leukemia. Subsequently, my father left the church and my parents divorced. I'm sure there was a time when my humor was sarcastic and bitter. Because I had drifted farther and farther away from Christ, and was miserable. I let the circumstances of life control me, rather than resting in his care. I was working at Opryland, USA, impersonating Minnie Pearl and was newly married when I found peace through salvation.
"I'd really rather not have a testimony like that. I'd rather be able to talk and laugh with my sisters. But if that had to happen, I'm glad to see what God does when you're willing to tell your story."
One thing God did was allow Chonda to share her pain and turn it into a lesson of laughter. To that end, the greatest influence on her career was Sarah Cannon, better known as Minnie Pearl. During her 5-year stint impersonating Miss Minnie, Chonda spent time with her mentor.
"To this day, I don't know what gave her the insight that she had into my life, to befriend me like she did. Those were difficult days...both of my sisters had died, my parents got divorced...and one day, backstage, she looked at me as if she knew." Miss Minnie told her, "Until you make peace with God, you'll never know what the love of laughter is all about." Chonda believes it was the Lord at work.
Since then, the heir apparent to the queen of clean comedy has performed on TNN's "Music City Tonight," "The 700 Club," Mark Lowry's Comic Belief Tour, and with Bill Gaither, Garth Brooks, and others. She also speaks at Billy Graham crusades and Women of Faith conferences, and founded Preacher's Kids International for those who grew up in the parsonage. "Some people laugh 'til they cry," Chonda quips. "I cried 'til I laughed." Now she uses her gift of humor to bless others in need of joy, and to convey the truth that time doesn't heal, God does.
When she's not on the road performing, you can find Chonda, her husband, and their two children in the second row at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
