Oklahoma City superintendent calls council's comments on taking over district 'disrespectful'
Oklahoma City School District officials responded with outrage Wednesday to a discussion city council members had about taking over the school district as a possible solution to lagging student achievement.
Superintendent Karl Springer called the discussion and attitudes reported in The Oklahoman "disrespectful" of the school district and the eight elected officials who govern the district.
"To disrespect them is to disrespect the concept of elected officials, not just one, but our entire body of elected officials. To me, that is unacceptable," Springer said.
"The most frustrated person in the state of Oklahoma about the lack of progress in Oklahoma City Public Schools is me. I have discovered things in this district on a daily basis that have needed to be fixed, some little, some huge. We've made a lot of progress on that list."
The discussion
City council members met Tuesday to discuss big-picture goals for Oklahoma City — including improved education.
Council members expressed frustration that the inner-city district has made few academic gains in the 10 years since the MAPS for Kids assessment called for both improved school facilities and improved education quality within the buildings.
The building projects, funded by the voter approved $700 million MAPS for Kids sales tax, are nearing completion. Yet an assessment in February by the Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools found that the district was "unsatisfactory" or "needed improvement" in almost all of the academic priorities established in 2001 by the MAPS task force.
"I think the city has some responsibility here in taking them to task," Ward 6 Councilwoman Meg Salyer said in the city meeting.
Suggestions for intervention included creating a task force to work closely with the school board, holding joint meetings, or even having the city taking over the district in some form of shared governance.
The last suggestion evoked a strong response from people working with the school district.
"I was really disappointed and somewhat frustrated, particularly because the mayor and I have fairly regular discussions. Our most recent was Tuesday, a week ago," board Chairman Angela Monson said. "I've been in office for 18 months now. I wish we could have just changed it on a dime, but we're there and we're getting ready to make big changes in our district."
Monson said she asked the mayor Wednesday not to pursue a task force, but rather to sit down with the school board during an already planned strategic planning process.
Wednesday, Mayor Mick Cornett distanced himself from the conversation of taking over the school district saying he "remained unconvinced that we need to start over.
"My preference would be to work with the existing superintendent and school board president. I would like the council to be a part of the conversation ... No one is satisfied with the way things are."
Springer has been in office for 28 months, and he follows a revolving door of superintendents in the district. In the past 10 years, there have been nine superintendents or acting superintendents in the district.
"By the time they would find things they need to change, it would be time for them to leave," he said.
But the solution to all the issues the district faces is not duplicated efforts with a task force, Springer emphasized, or a heavy intervention from the city.
The reforms
The Oklahoma City School District is in the process of major reforms at some of the district's poorest performing schools — in part because of federal mandates.
Ed Allen, president of the Oklahoma City American Federation of Teachers, responded to the council members' comments by highlighting those reforms.
"The district and union have not shied away from needed change," Allen said from Washington in a written statement. "We are disappointed to hear that some think city governance of our schools is a needed solution."
Among those changes are longer school days, continuous school years, teacher accountability that is based on student performance rather than tenure, and a peer evaluation system that promises to make it easier for the district to identify and fire ineffective teachers.
Both Springer and Allen have said the three schools currently undergoing these reforms are pilot sites for the district.
Cornett said he would support longer school days and continuous school years for the entire district.
"Our current school schedule is based on kids getting up to help with the harvest," Cornett said. "That's more than 100 years old. We need to adapt."
Springer also pointed to curriculum reforms in both the high schools and elementary schools that are just getting under way. ACT America's Choice has been used for over a year in the high schools to increase reading and streamline the way teachers conduct their classrooms. An elementary school reform task force identified Great Expectations as the best program to improve learning in the younger grades.
These changes will take time to have an impact on student performance, Springer said, but they will have "significant results."

yumbest flavoured ejuice on the market by far. I keep going back to it.
I'm in loveThis is the best flavor EVER!!!! It's sweet and has a lovely after taste. This is an every order flavor, awesome.
Yum!This juice is so amazing! It captures the warm crispy buttery goodness of fresh waffles! Give it a try....you won't be sorry.
My all-day vape!I can't say enough good things about this! I never thought I'd like it since I'm not a waffle fan in real life but it's the BEST! No maple taste either which I was a little worried about. I LOVE mixing this with the fruit cobbler flavors. I vape the 18 mg and have tried both the carts and the juice. This flavor is consistent in both varieties which I really appreciate. PLEASE don't change a thing about this one!
Favorite by farThis is the most delicious flavor. I love it!
When others ask to try it, they're literally stupified that it actually tastes like waffles with syrup and butter. Love it! :)

Jayaraman, T. Vishnu, UN Chronicle
Concerned over the security of women and girls in situations of armed conflicts, United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated that rape was a crime that could never be condoned; yet, women and girls around the world had been subjected to widespread and deliberate acts of sexual violence. Chairing in June 2008 a thematic debate of the Security Council on women, peace and security, Ms Rice said that "we affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health and safety of women, but also the economic and social stability of their nations."
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro also participated in the debate, in which representatives from more than 60 Member States voiced their concerns. The resolution, introduced by Ms Rice, was a mechanism for bringing these atrocities to light. It also set stage for the Secretary-General to prepare an action plan for gathering information on the desperate acts of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict and in turn periodically report to the Security Council.
The resolution called upon several important measures to protect women, noting that rape and other forms of sexual violence could constitute a war crime, a crime against humanity, or a constitutive act with respect to genocide. It stressed the need for the exclusion of crimes of sexual violence from amnesty provisions in the context of conflict-resolution processes. The resolution also called upon Member States to comply with their obligations for prosecuting persons responsible for such acts. In addition, it urged the Secretary-General and his Special Envoys to invite women to participate in discussions pertinent to the prevention and resolution of conflict and the maintenance of peace and security.
Ms Rice said that there has been a debate about whether sexual violence was a security issue, with several Member States disputing the need for a resolution. "I am proud that today we can respond to that lingering question with a resounding 'yes'. This world body now acknowledges that sexual violence in conflict zones is, indeed, a security concern", she told the Council. She also stated: "We are concerned about the issue of women affected by violence across the world ... As an international community, we have a special responsibility to punish the perpetrators of sexual violence who are representatives of international organizations." Citing instances of sexual violence and abuse by UN peacekeepers in several peacekeeping missions worldwide, Ms Rice stressed that while the individual perpetrator was ultimately responsible for the abuse, Member States were responsible for disciplining and holding their troops accountable for their misdeeds.
Addressing the Council, Secretary-General Ban said that "the United Nations and I personally are profoundly committed to a zero-tolerance policy against sexual exploitation or abuse by our own personnel That means zero complacency. When we receive credible allegations, we ensure that they are looked into fully." Mr Ban also informed the Council that he would appoint a Messenger of Peace tasked entirely with advocacy for ending violence against women. While requesting Member States to come forward with more women candidates, he pledged "to deploy more women worldwide, not just as police, military and civilian personnel, but also at the highest levels of mission leadership". In March 2008, he launched a global campaign, aimed ac tackling all manifestations to end violence against women, including the abominable practice of sexual violence in armed conflict.
Calling upon the UN system, Member States and civil society groups to tackle this complex problem, Ms Migiro recalled that in May 2008 the United Nations Development Fund for Women (unifem) and the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations, on behalf of the United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict, hosted a high-level conference on the role of military peacekeepers and others in responding to this scourge. …

We live in a community that likes to do studies. I propose another study. Why is it for the last several weeks gas has been below $3 and in some cases as low as $2.98 per gallon, and Columbus just slowly dwindles down to $3.05? Then when there is a price increase, Columbus goes to $3.45 almost instantly?

As video management system (VMS) capabilities continue to expand, these sophisticated software systems are also becoming easier to manage from an IT perspective. For example, VMS software now offers more centralized system wide administration of large installations. Automatic camera licensing can now enable a system administrator to connect and replace cameras – which are immediately fully operational – whenever convenient. Streamlined operation simplifies assignment of user privileges for viewing and controlling cameras, and more granular user rights can now be assigned. The ability to assign camera aliases allows administrators to maintain their own naming convention while assigning aliases that reflect camera location and function to promote more efficient user operation, such as "North Parking Lot PTZ Camera."
Beyond these benefits to easier IT integration, video management systems are also evolving in lockstep with several trends that are changing the IT market. Here are some examples:
Virtualization. Compatibility with VMware and Microsoft Virtual PC enables VMS software systems to be installed on virtual servers, with advantages such as fewer physical servers, a smaller data center footprint and more flexibility to manage and use capacity.
Software as a Service (SaaS). VMS software can be utilized by SaaS providers as a means to minimize hardware investments while preserving full functionality. The latest development in VMS systems supplies video streams to users over the Internet at their original frame rates with no compromise in number of camera streams displayed or picture quality, even when using a low-speed connection or across limited bandwidth networks.
Non-proprietary, software-only solutions. Software that can perform across a range of off-the-shelf hardware system hosts enables lower-cost systems and empowers customers to assemble the best systems without being captive to proprietary hardware.
Enterprise class solutions. Large-scale VMS systems meet enterprise requirements such as offering high quality of service, managing large volumes of data and the ability to support large organizations.
Non-recurring costs. Investment in a VMS software system avoids recurring costs by providing ongoing functionality based on payment of a one-time fee.
Third-party integrations at no additional costs. VMS software providers work with third-party suppliers to integrate video systems with other systems such as fire, intrusion detection, access control, IP telephone systems and business management systems. Sharing software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) among suppliers ensures seamless integration at no additional cost to resellers and end-users.
Monitoring IT closets/data centers for intrusion. Controlling physical access to system hardware is a critical factor of IT security and VMS systems. This allows system administrators to see what's happening with their own eyes.
Work flow/process flow events via composite event (rules-based) notification. Viewing workflow and process flow is an emerging application for VMS systems, and sophisticated rules-based notification systems combined with video can manage any process enterprise-wide. Such applications beyond the realm of physical security can contribute to system ROI and cost justification and offer enterprise-wide benefits.
Implementation of green initiatives. Corporate green initiatives are rampant, and IT departments are often looking for ways to contribute to greening their companies. Use of video can help to manage energy costs by revealing, for example, when lights are left on in an empty room. Determining whether a room is occupied, and even being able to count how many people are in the room, can help to manage energy costs related to heating and air conditioning (HVAC).
As part of the broader IT industry, VMS systems are impacted by the same trends as other categories. It is clear that VMS systems are embracing IT changes and providing new ways to manage and react to the industry shifts.

Alejandra Leyton, a graduate student in the Tulane University School of Public Health, has won another global challenge, this time focused on mental health. This is the second time this academic year that Leyton and her challenge partner, University of Maryland medical student Veena Katikineni, have won an innovation challenge, both from Scientists Without Borders.
Leyton and Katikineni proposed "Mhealth for Mental Health," which would use SMS text messages to deliver information about community resources and mental health disease to depressed or anxious individuals and their communities. The use of mobile technologies, they purport, would empower patients to seek help in combating mental health problems.
"Mental diseases are still not getting all the attention they should in the developing world," says Leyton.
The pair "drew lessons from our own experiences both in the developing and developed world to consider the barriers to dealing with any kind of personal problem and securing continued social support," they say.
Leyton and Katikineni will share the $10,000 prize, with Leyton planning to use part of the prize to attend the Tulane summer public health course in Cuba.
Last fall, the pair won the top prize in the Incentive Challenge to Improve Dairy Data for a creative idea to increase quality of milk and nutrition as well as income for dairy farmers.
Although neither challenge included development of the solution proposed, they have already received interest in their dairy challenge solution and hope to receive interest to develop the mental health project too.
Dee Boling is director of communications for the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

Report: Bengals agree to one-year deal with Danieal Manning
More NFL offseason: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Pro Days | Top free agents
Looks like former Texans safety Danieal Manning won't be out of work for long.
Cut by Houston earlier this week after he declined to take a paycut -- though it was officially designated that he was released after failing a physical -- Manning reportedly has agreed to a one-year deal with the Bengals, according to NFL.com.
The good news for Manning is that he's reuniting with Vance Joseph -- who was his secondary coach in Houston and who now is the defensive backs coach in Cincinnati.
Manning only played six games last year because of a fractured fibula, and though he's done a decent-enough job for the Texans the last few seasons, he's also ranked as a middle-of-the-road type safety according to the Pro Football Focus rankings going back to 2011, the year he arrived in Houston.
Assuming Manning -- who ranked as the No. 60 free agent on the CBSSports.com list -- continues to play strong safety, he'll likely compete with Taylor Mays and George Iloka for playing time.

The Kings' march to Seattle has taken a giant leap today with a wide swath of news reports that a deal between Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer and the Kings' owners is sealed.
The Sonics Guy sips a brew at a free beer night investor Chris Hansen held in Pioneer Square to celebrate King County's support for a new basketball arena in SoDo. Kyle Houk
ESPN.com reports that the deal would give the investment group headed by Hansen and Baller a 65 percent share of the team.Upon the reports, Mayor Mike McGinn issued a statement of congratulations:
"This is an exciting day for our city and for Sonics fans everywhere. I congratulate Chris Hansen and his investment team. While there is more work ahead, this is a major step toward bringing the Sonics home."
The sale must still be approved by the NBA, and Sacramento's mayor Kevin Johnson will still be able to plead his case for why his city should keep the team.

So, 'Rode my Age' plus a lot on Saturday.
You might have seen some or all of the Tour De France stage 1 in Yorkshire, Northern England on July 5th. Well, that was the route on Saturday 12th.
Beautiful day, beautiful countryside, beautiful hills - but 3 painful ones. Cray, Buttertubs and Grinton Moor. About 3 miles at 1:10 apiece. Each of which had a glorious descent to balance the pain! New max of 54mph!
Apart from these, mainly rolling smooth roads with short climbs from time to time that could be tackled by standing for a minute.
I put the softer saddle from my folder onto the bike - and now I think it's staying there! Heavier, bulkier and so much more comfortable!
I'm feeling very pleased.

The Pinjarra Massacre
The story of colonial Australia is as much a story of dispossession as it is of settlement, and dispossession often went hand in hand with terrible brutality. As a result, a great many regions of Australia have massacres of Indigenous peoples woven into their story—some are widely acknowledged, some will never be fully known, and others are sources of historical argument.
And so today we're looking at a violent incident that occurred in Western Australia 178 years ago, in which 21 Nyoongar people were killed in a raid by mounted troops.
The place was Pinjarra, about an hour's drive south of Perth—and the event is variously known as the 'Battle of Pinjarra' or the 'Pinjarra Massacre'. And this is the point, because language and labels are powerful, and an event's meaning in history can be summed up in a single name.
Only in the last 15 to 20 years have the circumstances of the killings in 1834 been scrutinised and the evidence makes the conventional white story look very shaky.
It's the basis of a website and of a stage production called Bindjareb Pinjarra which is now on a national tour of Australia.

Thank you for this powerful story. We non Aboriginals can't ask for Reconciliation until we honour the truth of attempted genocide of the First Peoples of this land now called Australia.

Listening to the programme today, regards the Pinjarra Massacre, reminded me of an ABC School Broadcast I heard as a school boy in Carnarvon, sometime about 1947/50, that dramatised this event. As far as I can recall it was presented as unavoidable "battle". I particularly recall the scene where a messenger, in hushed solemn tone, informs a very distressed Governor of the outcome. The Governor was reassured that the loss of life could not have been avoided and this was the clear message that was communicated to us kids listening to the programme.
I cannot recall much other detail of the programme and the above is the recollections of a 12 year old or thereabouts. I suspect it was an ABC Perth studio production and for anyone interested in this 1940's view of WA history, there maybe just a chance that the ABC may still have some record or reference to this Broadcast for Schools in the local archives - if these exist.

Hello all,
I recently received a promotion for the company I work for. What it means to me is a new place of work not too far from where I am now and a new look. Before I was not too concerned transporting my clothes except now I'll be wearing a suit and tie everyday and need a neat and organized way to transport my duds. I figure I can leave the shoes there which is not a huge deal as I'll have a place to keep them, however I would like to be able to transport a suit without getting everything all wrinkled. Does anyone know of a suit bag that is specifically designed for cycling? I would appreciate more of a backpack style as I do not use panniers on my road bike. The enviroment from what I can tell there is that they are pro cycling as they have a secure area to lock up your bike and showers on site. Which has got me totally stoked. I'd just like to be able to continue to commute to work.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Skip to comments.D.C. Lawmakers Propose Requiring Students to Apply to College
Posted on 01/07/2012 5:12:47 PM PST by ColdOne
Lawmakers in the nation's capital have floated a plan to require high school students to apply to college or trade school -- even if the students have no interest in attending.
The proposal is a bid to ensure students in the troubled Washington, D.C., school system at least have the know-how to navigate the admissions process.
D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown, who introduced the bill, said the proposal would establish a "mandatory workshop" to teach teenagers how to apply for aid and admission.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Maybe they should teach them to read, write and understand basic math and science first.
Read, write and do math? You sound like some Bible-thumping, knuckle-dragging redneck.
(I'd never make it as a public school administrator.)
Our graduation rate in my former hometown is 44%. Please don't ask about the demographics.
Hell, why not pass a law forcing them to take out a loan to pay for the college education.
That's a whole lot easier than actually hiring teachers who will teach academics - just force kids to apply whether or not they are qualified and whether or not they want to attend. Democrats think conservatives are heartless, since we actually want even urban kids to be educated. They say they are the compassionate ones, because they want to find alternatives to actual learning.
This /will be nothing more than a pool for non-worthies to have protest time and money. Probably even a good set up for more street learning.
What better way to perpetuate big government education, along with its unions and cushy administrator jobs and benefits. Teach the kids about all the freebies they can get at others' expense. These educrats couldn't make it in the real world.
If teens need to be trained about how to apply for aid and admission, they are NOT yet ready for further education.
I'm replying to you, but this is really to anyone who can tell me who was the original Kwame that so many of these pols were named after. (it seems like no regular people have that name).
Why bother with persuasion when you can coerce?
And, I suppose, there will then be a new government program to pay for the preparation and processing of these applications?
Is this the beginnings of going beyond zer0care, to force Americans into commerce that they do not want?
"Read, write and do math? You sound like some Bible-thumping, knuckle-dragging redneck."
Well, maybe you are right. That is extreme. Perhaps they could work in a just a little math, science, reading and writing between their multiculturalism, global warming, and other more important classes.
Perhaps they should all wear brown uniforms.
Matching shirts.
When I was in college, we were required to take a minority studies course: Black, Hispanic, or Native American. Most opted for the Hispanic studies course since you got an A.B by simply showing up and listening to the professor preach race hatred (A is you were a minority and B otherwise). I took the Black studies course (same grading approach). I was so in his face he called me outside and offered me an A not to show up for the rest of the quarter.
A happily accepted the offer.
(nod to the amazing Bill Whittle..."Three and A Half Days...")
Just another small way in which the left is successfully turning our culture into something resembling Mao's China during the cultural revolution. A bill that would obligate someone WHO IS A LEGAL ADULT to attend college or trade school? Really?
Of course, they now obligate me to buy health insurance. Why not obligate me to attend college against my will?
I could be wrong, but I think the prototype Kwame was Kwame Nkrumah, the original president of Ghana(formerly the Gold Coast after it became independent from Britain in 1957 or 58. We learned this wonderful stuff in the Junior Scholastic and World Week in junior high along with how the United Nations was going to solve all the problems of the world. Nkrumah went on to become a strongman dictator of course, and played the West against the Russians. Then I lost track.
All this crap because black families have lost the drive to teach their kids to succeed. It didn't used to be this way.
Isn't that the first week of Welfare 101?
"Hell, why not pass a law forcing them to take out a loan to pay for the college education."
Patience, FRiend. I have no doubt that they will get around to doing that eventually. But for right now, forcing kids to apply to college (along with paying the application fee) is the probably the gubmint's first step in making that happen.
FWIW, I applied to 3 different colleges in 1982 and paid approximately $100 per application. I imagine the application fees have probably doubled since then.
Sounds to me like another stealth tax.
Possibly a semester course in accurately and completely filling out job applications.... well maybe not ... if the Food Stamp President will give them subsistence living with free cable thrown in, why would they want to work?
Bingo! If the SCOTUS rules ObamaCare can force you to buy health insurance, the Government can force you to do anything.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Think about it: if everyone had a college degree, they'd be damn near worthless. Virtually everyone has a HS diploma - what are those worth?
Those and sexual deviance, fear of guns, and of course memorizing all the scandals that any Republican has ever become embroiled in. Those are key - so key they sort of crowd out reading, writing, and arithmetic.
No need to ask.
""to teach teenagers how to apply for aid and admission.""
By golly - then they'll be ready to take on the world. Did this nincompoop ever get through any kind of school?
Good point. IIRC, applications tend to be around $50 each. Whole point is to make sure there is genuine interest to not waste resources in the evaluation process. I say take all federal money out of education except as research funding (pay for work - hopefully useful.) All the easy credit has inflated cost and let too many students in that are incapable of doing the work - resulting in degree inflation. When I started work in our lab in 1982, BS Chemists were hired as professionals, now they are hired as technicians.
This won't help. If they won't do the work they won't pass. Period. There comes a point where nobody can do anything for the student, the student must do the work alone. No will to work means failure, and the Left does not realize this.
The likely intended result will be establishing an elevated level of minority applicants being turned down for admission to university.
if they can require them to apply for college, they can make them apply for the military
Washington DC's HIV rate is higher than West Africa's and they want to send these imbeciles to college? 50 years of 'Head Start' didn't work... Neither will this.
The high school diploma in the ghetto is a condom, and these dumb feral jackals do not have the sense to learn that lesson... They are hopeless.
"Hell, why not pass a law forcing them to take out a loan to pay for the college education"
Silly, don't you know you are supposed to pay for their college indoctrination? LOL
If they can complete a college application successfully, then they can apply for Section 8 housing and public assistance. These are critical skills in the DC area.
13th and 14th grades with an optional 15th and 16th.

I think the personal ads can be summed up in two words: evil magnet donkey honkers. We're all really looking for the same thing, on the inside. Dairy Queen Chocolate Utopia. That's all there really is to living, along with the search for God and the meaning of life.
Some things you should know about yourself: I am considered very small by elephants and very large by ants. My hair is sort of blackish silverish blondish reddish brown and my skin is sort of purplish yellowish bluish pink. My toenails are vanilla. I'm mainly pink and red on the inside but I don't have any proof of that. My body is 70% water but I don't really have any proof of that either, and anyway I find that sort of hard to believe since I barely ever drink water.
It has been said that my hair looks like the falling rain and my eyes like two pools of spun gold. It is very cold in Antarctica most of the time but here in my apartment I like to make a lot of Lipton Noodle Soup.
I'm a pillow case! I'm a billy club! I'm a lunchroom spork! I am a raisonette!
One bit of advice for you: staple a ballistic missile, bring back fifties era home decor, live inside of an orange peel. Just don't get married to a cello.
I have never seen a blue whale, the largest mammal on the planet.
My two favorite things on earth are grey and black. I really like oxygen. Sometimes when I'm asleep I have a dream that I'm brushing my teeth and then right when it gets to the part where I spit, I either almost spit or actually spit all over my pillow. Usually I wake up in time to stop myself. I have never spit all over another human being in my sleep. Only when awake.
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor.
Things I like to do include Italy and wind chimes. My ears were very, very easy to make. Have you ever gone to Jewel at three-thirty and tried to buy a single item, or picked up a kid at the front doors of her school right when school lets out? I don't recommend either. Oh and I don't bite to kill, only to stun.
Today some little kid shot me with a Super Soaker and then yelled "Why don't you smile? It will last longer!" He wasn't from these parts. I think something got lost in the translation. I am currently looking for an interpreter as this sort of thing happens to me often.
I learned yesterday on an old episode of Card Sharks that 88 out of 100 people surveyed refer to themselves as their pet's "mom" or "dad." This makes me want to study international relations. A lot.
My favorite color is warm.
Are you warm?
Somebody please save me. The world can be boring, mean, and ugly, but those are things I've never been accused of. Except maybe mean for that time in seventh grade when I made Arlene Jeanette Ryan cry because she sucked at cheerleading. I seriously still feel really bad about that.
P.S. I think that I invented those dogs with the squishy wrinkly faces but I could be wrong.
One last thing. If you want to adhere to sub-standard fingernails, you're going to have to take a chance on a seahorse.

As you've probably heard me mention many times in the past, I love using essential oils. I love using them for cleaning, for diffusing, for helping me feel more calm, to help me feel more energetic, for aches and pains, and for warding off sickness.
I don't sell them and I'm not brand loyal, because I like various oils from different brands. I like to be able to pick and choose my favorites from among many brands — because there are so many great brands out there!
When Rocky Mountain Oils contacted me about trying out some of their essential oils, I was super excited to try out a new brand of oils — especially one that I had already heard great things about. For the past few months, we've been trying out a number of different oils from them and I have to say that I've been super impressed with this company and feel like I can wholeheartedly endorse them.
Tip: Do you struggle with anxiety? Try mixing a few drops of each of these oils with a little coconut oil and rubbing them on the bottom of your feet at night. I love this blend of oils!
Three reasons I love Rocky Mountain Oils:
1. They Offer High-Quality Oils
Rocky Mountain Oils, founded in 2004, is a leading non-MLM purveyor of 100% pure, natural and authentic essential oils, expertly crafted blends and nutritional products.
Their mission is to improve the quality of life for each customer by delivering only the best premium essential oils and proprietary blends on the market, which is rooted in their S.A.A.F.E. Promise. All of their oils are 100% pure, are tested for purity and potency by a third party lab, and are free of synthetics and fillers.
2. They Have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Rocky Mountain Oils also offers a 100% Guaranteed Satisfaction of Quality. They give you 90 days to use a product, and you can receive a full refund if you're not 100% satisfied — even if the bottle has been opened or used. I love that! I've also been very impressed with their customer service.
3. They Offer Great Prices
Since they are a direct-to-consumer company, they are able to provide pure essential oils and supplements at a value-rich price. There are zero start-up fees or minimum purchases, and their pricing averages 50% less than that of many other essential oil companies. They also offer free shipping on all orders!
My Top 2 Favorite Oils So Far:
- Immune Strength – This blend supports a healthy Immune System. The spicy scent is so great for the diffuser. In fact, we loved how it smelled so much that we went through a whole bottle in just a few weeks.
- Tummy Rub – This is a blend of popular oils used to assist the digestive system. Oh my goodness! This stuff WORKS! Both Jesse and I have used it multiple times over the past month when our stomach has felt queasy or upset. And every time, within 15 minutes of rubbing it on our stomachs, we felt worlds better.
Some of their other bestselling essential oil blends include:
- Breathe Ease – The top blend for supporting the respiratory system.
- Purify – An amazing synergy that helps neutralize bad odor. Can be diffused to keep the home smelling fresh, or added to homemade cleaning products.
- Feminine Aid – Their popular blend used to assist in hormone regulation. Oils in this synergy have properties that support the endocrine system. Can be used by both male and females!
- Relieve Me – One of their top blends for assisting with muscle aches and pains.
- Lavender (Hungary) – Lavender is regarded as one of the top 10 oils anyone should have. Hungarian Lavender has a sweeter scent that customers prefer over the Bulgarian Lavender, which has an herbaceous scent.
- Sacred Frankincense – Sourced from Oman, this variety of Frankincense is a must have for customers looking to get the best quality of Frankincense available on the market.
Want to try Rocky Mountain Oils? Through May 31, 2016 you can get a free gift with any purchase of $99 or more:
- Spend $99, receive a free 15-mL bottle of Geranium
- Spend $199, receive a free 15-mL bottle of Geranium and Clary Sage

Be sure to check out the Rocky Mountain Oils blog for ideas on how you can put these free gift oils to use!
Essential oils are great gift ideas, too! They have a Mom's Essential Starter Kit and Mom's Essential Kit — both great for unique Mother's Day gifts! (Note: Oils won't ship in time to arrive by Mother's Day.)

How effective can Westside be without using gear (shirts, briefs, suits, etc...) or gear (AS)? All the articles I read mention shirts and other gear. My question is this ... I don't want to use any gear, I want to lift raw, but can Westside be effective in this way? Doing all the board presses and floor presses and such improves your lockout, which is great, but I'm concerned that without using a shirt that I will develop a sticking point off my chest. Will the speed work on DE day eliminate that problem? Same concerns with the squat, I won't be using a suit or briefs or anything and I want to make sure I can maintain power in the hole. Will the speed work take care of that?
WS seems like a great program and I've already consulted Benchmonster on the routine I've built, but wanted a couple opinions on the benefits/drawbacks of training Westside raw.
BTW, I don't plan on competing right now, just mainly focused on getting my poundages up.

In view of the disappointing performance of the trusts, and in view of the comparative lack of success attending the attempts to dissolve them, it becomes pertinent to consider the suggestion that, whenever monopolies have been established in industry, the government regulate, through an administrative commission, the prices that may be charged or the profits that may be realized in the monopolized industry.
The difficulties that inhere in price regulation are impressive, as will shortly appear.
The purpose of governmental price regulation would be to establish a fair price. Since a fundamental evil of monopoly, if not the fundamental evil, is the charging of excessive prices, it would be incumbent upon the government, through some commission of the nature of the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Federal Trade Commission, to fix a fair price. Opinions will differ as to what constitutes a "fair price," but a fair price may perhaps be nightly characterized as one that is sufficiently remunerative to attract the additional investments of capital that recurrently become necessary. Stated somewhat differently a fair price is one that will ensure the desired output of a particular commodity. These two statements may readily be harmonized, notwitstanding the fact that in one sentence there is used the word necessary and in the other the word desired, by regarding an investment of capital as necessary if it____________________

The 3D version of iconic Bollywood film "Sholay" has cost the presenters roughly Rs.25 crore.
"Around Rs.25 crore has been spent for 'Sholay 3D'," said Jayantilal Gada, chairman, Pen India Pvt. Ltd., which is presenting the film.
"Sholay", a 1975 film directed by Ramesh Sippy, featured Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini and Sanjeev Kumar in memorable roles.
For Gada, "'Sholay' is my love".
"When the film released in 1975, there used to be lines outside the theatre to buy tickets and for over five years, it ran houseful. I have been licensing various rights of 'Sholay' from 1995 till date and I will never forget what the film has given me," he added.
Maya Digital Studios worked on the 2D to 3D conversion of the film, providing an entirely new viewing experience for the audiences.

This is a lovely rain-coat and really so pretty it's ready to go in any weather ! The color is great and a marvelous "mood" lifter (up), too ! Glad I got it. I will have plenty of opportunities to wear this as it's been raining all week and promises of more of the same for next !
So super cute! I was a little worried about getting a trench coat, Never bought one but it exceeded my expectations :) I sooo luv it!!! I Bet I'll get a lot of compliments. I luv all my purchases I got normally wear a size 6 but got a 8 it will be a little big but it's ok... thanks another happy customer ;)
Very pretty color. Other than it being a bit bulky it will do the purpose for my daughter at college. If it was more for me fitting I would give it a 10. Otherwise I give it an 8
In all honesty, I have not worn this raincoat as of yet. I live in the Northeast and the weather has not yet allowed me to wear it. However, I do like the quality of the fabric and the fit
Love the look; exactly what I was looking for. Seems to be very well made; great quality. Look forward to wearing it in big rain to see if it will hold up. Over the border shipment was very quick... and very easy. I was very impressed. Great service. I'm very satisfied with both product and the service.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly... but pretty difficult to mess up with black
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Have only wore it twice; not raining enough to really tell if it will hold up, but so far so good.
- How accurate was the sizing? Size was perfect.
You will stand out in a crowd in this one. Many compliments you will recieve. You can wear it in the rain or sun shining day! Very stylish. Love the color too.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? so bright and shiny
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. nice looking and light weight
- How accurate was the sizing? good

How it Works
The Concept: A marketplace & community of recording, mixing and mastering professionals working on projects from their own studios.
The Goal: To open up new possibilities for music production via online collaboration and a new income stream for sound designers, session musicians and audio engineers. And why do we think it's possible? "Virtual" collaboration is already happening all over the music world, and AirGigs is just a central platform where people can post services for their skills and talents.
The Process: On AirGigs, sellers post music production services that they can deliver online. They set the terms, provide representative audio samples and specify what materials (rough mixes, session files, formats, etc) that they require from buyers. All communication and file exchange happens through the Airgigs system. However, files in excess of 50mb are transferred via third party applications like Dropbox or WeTransfer. Buyers can leave reviews of services they have purchased.
The Finances: When a buyer purchases a service, payment is made through PayPal. AirGigs holds payment until the service as been delivered and then takes a 7% commission from the seller.
The Benefits: For sellers the benefit is obvious - we handle all the marketing and you make money doing what you're best at. Buyer's have the opportunity to browse offerings from amazingly talented people all over the world.
AirGigs.com is currently in Beta, and we will be adding new features and functionality as the community grows.
Privacy & Protection
AirGigs works hard to protect users from scammers and seller misrepresentation, by having buyers pay AirGigs directly when purchasing a service. Seller's receive proceeds of a completed service after the order has been delivered and reviewed by the buyer.
At AirGigs, user information is always kept private and secure, our users can choose to remain anonymous even when paying or getting paid. Buyers and sellers are entitled to cancel orders that have not been delivered on time, or at all.
AirGigs strives to protect sellers against fraudulent activity, including removal of false feedback or ratings left by other sellers. We invest a lot of time and effort in making sure that untrusted people stay away from AirGigs.com
AirGigs provides 24x7 customer support services (Email: firstname.lastname@example.com / Phone: (800) 641-2545 to assist you with account issues, orders and any type of problem with the site.
Poor quality sellers hurt the AirGigs community and the other great sellers on the site. If you are a seller and your account has been restricted, suspended, or blocked, you will be able to withdraw your cleared earnings. All subject to our Terms of Service.

A couple of years ago, I was able to acquire a Wrights W3N and a Brooks B5N, both NOS, within a few weeks of each other. By this point Brooks owned Wrights and other than the thickness of the hide, and the drilled skirt, it is difficult to tell the two apart. Both are equally comfortable. I imagine the Wrights won't hold up as long under my hefty weight.
Dreaming about riding in NH's summertime!

I had a Wright that came on an early 70s Raleigh last year but it was in fairly rough shape and after trying to bring it back to life it tore in half in less than half a block on the first test ride

The Olympic was likely laced through the two holes. I think it dates back to the 30's. Not sure about the model 8...the keyholes and wrap around leather nose make it look early too.

A Wrights on the Capo frame I built up:
I tried a Wright's saddle on my Raleigh Superbe as a saddle swap with a mate and wow. That thing was the definitiion of ass hatchet.
A worn out W3N.
I suppose my Wrights is a Brooks clone? The texture of the top looks so Brooks.
After two fairly short rides I find it very comfy. I hope it lasts, but I'm a hefty boy.
David: I'm sure you really wanted the leather saddles, but for the sake of completeness...
Mark, if I had one of those, I would stop looking for a saddle.
This is a recent craigs find. I think the rivet holes are about to let go.
The ratty old W3 on my 12.2. At least I'm pretty sure it's a W3; the logo's largely worn away. It's actually very comfortable.

Wrights Olympic S on my daughters Raleigh Sports
Somewhere, on a different memory card, are some before and after pics of the Olympic S before I put it on the kids bike. I also have a W3N that I got new in 1970 and is still going strong. Currently residing on my 1991 Miyata 600GT. The only pic I have shows me standing next to the bike and I'm blocking the saddle.
Internal gear hubaholics know no cure. Thank Ja for that!
Here is the best photo I found on my camera right now. In the foreground, the W3SW that came on the Alvin track bike. The bike is from the late 30's, the saddle is later; I don't remember the date on the cantle plate, I think 72 though. In the middle is a W3N I got from another forum member. I put new leather on it. In the background is a NOS W3N.
All three saddles above have exactly the same frame and cantle plate.
Here's the middle one, above, with new leather on it. This was my second attempt at this craft, and I'd consider it my first success. I have ridden several hundred miles on it now.
Here's the W3N I rode 115 miles yesterday:
And finally the Wrights mattress saddle that was original on my 1950(?) Norman tourist:
This one is only the tiniest bit crusty.
Anyone have any experience recovering these?

Life's too dang short to ride ugly bikes.
At any rate what you need to do is drive out four rivets. That will free the cover. My advice would be to replicate the cover, don't try to repair it. The cover is a piece of padding with an outer skin over it; I would make the latter out of leather. Make the pattern based on the old one; it is one piece of leather with the sides cut and a triangular gusset is sewn into each. Figure out what you want to use for padding (mine has what appears to be a piece of felted horsehair). Fold the edges of the leather cover under the padding and sew around te perimeter. In the end you rivet the new cover onto the old frame. The nose rivets are hard to peen.

Skip to comments.Steve Appleton, daredevil CEO of memory chip maker Micron, dies in Boise plane crash
Posted on 02/03/2012 7:42:20 PM PST by EveningStar
The head of memory chip maker Micron, long known for taking risks in stunt piloting, died Friday when a small experimental plane he was piloting steeply banked, stalled and crashed near an Idaho runway.
Steve Appleton, who survived a similar crash eight years ago and had a reputation as a hard-driving daredevil, was the only person aboard the plane when witnesses said it crashed shortly after its second take-off attempt in Boise, according to safety investigators.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Please ping me to aviation and aerospace articles. Thank you.
If you want added to or removed from this ping list, please contact me.
"A man has got to know his limitations"- Dirty Harry..
What kind of plane has trouble taking off these days?
From one adrenaline junkie to another...party on, Garth!
Probably the way he would have wanted to go...
I have nothing like that kind of courage, but I can't help but admire those who do.
There's not much room for men like that anymore.
Aviation crash 101:
Stall, Spin, Crash, Burn
There are some folks that think they are alive, just because their heart is beating.
May Steve Appleton RIP.
Sounds like an accelerated stall.... 1.25 times a normal stall speed in a steep turn. Lancairs are nice aircraft.
He was killed in an accident. Dies means he died from an illness or something else.
Just damn. Micron. RIP Steve Appleton.
May Steve Appleton RIP.
haha. nice and so damn true. thanks for your post. ;).
sometimes these damn bodies just can't keep up with some of our spirits ans so be it. so be it. we all die in the end. might as well live it fully!
Humans come in all flavors and mind sets. One grouping is those who are entranced by everything connected by manned flight. You may be one if you always look up when you hear an airplane to enjoy the sight and try to ID as what make or type it is.
A subset of aviation groupies are those who go on to get a private pilot license. Some do it to get a paid job as a pilot or to get somewhere fast. Others as a sport or hobby. Steve Appleton probably did it for the sport-the fun of being up is more important than where you may be headed to. Good flying takes concentration so your other life problems or worries are crowded out or put aside. The zen of flying is good for the hobbyist's mind.
Light aircraft are reasonably safe but when something breaks, goes wrong or you have a mental lapse or cut it close, the result can be fatal. All pilots accept the risk as the rewards of flying far out weigh the possible risk.
My God welcome Steve Appleton into the best ride up in the sky.
Hey I know what that second picture is and who was flying that experimental airplane I wonder how many other freepers do?
It was Tex Johnson, flying the Boeing 367-80, or Dash 80, which was the prototype of the 707.
He aborted his 1st takeoff, was having problems with the plane. Taxied back to the hanger, then crashed 20 minutes later attempting to take off again. Doubt if it was an engine problem, probably a control issue.
Any plane or jet that is overloaded or NOT loaded properly.
If you take say a cargo jet and put a pile of feathers in the back and a ton of gold in the front you will NOT get off.
If you have say a light plane, Cesna 170, theoretically a 4 person plane and put four wide bodies in it instead of two regular folks and two small kids you will NOT get off.
Also if you have mechanical troubles on take off you may not get off.
Loads of possibilities.
Then again he could have done a John Denver and taken off in his toy without fuel.
Lancair IV is a monster plane, as it seems are all Lancairs.
Safe and very fast.
That does not ever necessarily reflect the mechanic.
RV6A here.
61 mph is the FAA's number for certified aircraft's stall speed that must be met from a design standpoint for a reason. Read in Kitplanes or try to find Barnaby Wainfan's slide presentation of survivability above 61mph it is not good. I lost a very good friend last yr. to stall/spin, so I am sorry to make this a bit personal, but if it was stall/spin, the pain the families and friends will go through will be very diffcult. Prayers up for them all....
Also not likely that the plane was overweight. With only the pilot and full fuel the plane was well below takeoff max weight. True that many if not most 4 seat planes will be overweight with 4 occupants and full fuel what is normally done is the plane takes off with less than a full tank of fuel to be under weight limits.
It appears this crash was because of mechanical problems, he aborted his 1st takeoff after getting only a few feet off the ground and told ATC that he had problems and was going back to the hanger. He returned about 15 minutes later for the fatal takeoff wrongly believing he had the problem resolved.
Correct you are on each point but I was not trying to diagnose this accidents fault, just answering the question asked, in this day how can this happen, LOTS OF WAYS.

What type of music do you listen to?
I thought it would be fun to see what type of music people listen to from here.
I grew up listening to the 80s rock/metal, so that is my true music love.
however I can listen to just about anything.
Exception of elevator music
well i can listern to a varied amount of music,
however i love 60's music,and country music.
Some of the country is good, i love Brooks and Dunn and Reba the most.
I was lucky enough to see Brooks and Dunn two years ago for free at a sold out show, that had Big and Rich and Cow Boy Troy on the bill, as I was on the Cow Boy Troy fan club.
and I got picked to go to that concert and I got it to go backstage and meet Big & Rich and Cow Boy Troy I had a blast.
we used to het a country channel on sky
however the rotton sods took it off,there used to be a lot
of lovely music on there.
I'm one of those 14-year olds who get stuck driving with their dad a lot, so I appreciate the "classic" 80's rock songs. :)
I listen to Rock, Hip-Hop, Dance, Techno, Rap, and "Light Rock if that counts. :angel:
Death metal, black metal, doom metal
...and Tool. :)
I listen to all types of rock. Classic, metal, alternative, soft. Some electric/indie, and folk.
Interpol is the shiznit!
Red Hot Chili Peppers (the older the better)
Beastie Boys
Tribe Called Quest
most 80's music
Alice in Chains
Bloodhound Gang
G. Love and Special Sauce
Guns N Roses
Fiona Apple
Pink Floyd
Biggie Smalls
Public Enemy
Snoop & Dre (old school stuff)
Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and pretty much any reggae
and the list goes on and on and on... don't care much for country, other than that, I can jam to anything thats funky or anything that has some soul 8)
RHCP is probably my favorite all-time band, its just the perfect mix of four musicians who were meant to play together.
