High schools: Practices called off long before tornado hit Moore
MOORE — A little after 2 p.m. Monday afternoon, the gym at Moore High School looked the way it usually does during the sixth-hour athletic period in the final week of school.
With no more practices to get to, or games to prepare for, athletes from nearly every sport were scattered around the gym, talking, hanging out, waiting for 3 p.m. so they could go home for the day.
But before that 3 p.m. bell ever rang, the students' leisurely environment turned to tension, watching the devastating tornado ripping through their town and coming toward their school.
"At about 2:45, they told us to keep all the kids here," said Ryan Dukes, Moore's boys golf coach. "A little after 3 o'clock, it started coming toward us. But it went straight down Fourth St., and just missed the high school.
"I know we had some students who lost their houses."
Knowing the threat of tornadoes was forecast for the metro area around 3 p.m., Moore School administrators had made the decision Monday morning that there would be no after-school activities beyond the regular sixth-period athletic hour.
"The administrators told us early in the day that we needed to have our kids out by 3 p.m., so there would be no after-school activities," Westmoore football coach Billy Langford said. "We were planning to practice, but we called it off.
"We were in our athletic hour at about 2:30 when we got the call to take the kids to the safe room. We just hung out there with the rest of the student body until it all passed."
At one point, Westmoore High School was in the projected path of the tornado. Unlike other schools in the district, it was spared.
"It was coming at us, but it turned. We're all safe, thankfully," Langford said. "But I know we've got a lot of kids with family members and friends who were impacted by this. It was just terrible to see."

Obama's Nemesis
by Lance Thompson Here we are, a few days before the election, and Barack Obama finds himself in a very tight race with his most potentially devastating opponent–himself. In the long campaign that is coming to an end, Obama has knocked off Democrat rivals like the once-sure-thing Hillary Clinton and his own running mate, Joe Biden.

text: Posted October 20, 2011 the way the govt spends on schools is the perfect microcosim of how bad and ineffective the govt spends money. too many school districts fall prey to conventional wisdom and the same ole lame way of solving problems. more money isnt the answer. just ask the Yankees. smart hires, aquistions, training, building usuage, programs, enrichment programs and so on. i firmly believe the school system can be fixed. but there are far too many leeches at the local, state and fed level that stay employed due to the built in redundancies. No, I completely agree that throwing money at it is not the answer, but not giving it any money isn't the answer either. You are right however that having the government manage anything is a recipe for disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

11 Housecleaning Tips for the Lazy
Wednesday, March 9th, 2016
Housecleaning. Every day, it's the same old thing.
You wake up – fix food, clean up from food, deal with Legos on the floor and things that the kids leave all around the house. Load up the washing machine, the dishwasher, run errands at the store, cook some more, clean again. And on it goes. If you are anything like me, then you might feel like your life has become a scene from the movie Groundhog Day!
The good news is that all housework will wait for us. The bad news is that it still will eventually need to be done. Today, I share with you some infallible, quick, (and humorous) tips for making the housework a cinch!

Architects estimate cost for Edmond's public safety center at $33.9 million
EDMOND — Architects for the city's new public safety center project estimate the cost will be $33.9 million.
The price tag covers a 70,000-square-foot center downtown, a second 15,000-square-foot building near 33rd Street and Broadway and all the furnishings and equipment for both locations.
Cost for the downtown center, to house police headquarters, 911 communications and emergency operations, and the furnishings and equipment, is estimated at $29.3 million.
City officials estimated the cost for the downtown building with no furnishings or equipment at $25.5 million at the time of the vote in October 2011. Voters approved a half-cent sales tax for five years to pay for the project.
Mayor Charles Lamb said the tax was approved for a specific amount of time and there should be enough money to pay for the entire project because of increased sales tax growth.
"We are comfortable that we will have the money for the project and not have to look somewhere else," Lamb said.
Edmond has collected $7.5 million toward the project since the tax started in April 2012.
Frankfurt Short Bruza architects listed about $1.2 million of the work as alternative bids in an attempt to get the budget down.
The second building will be used for evidence and vehicle storage and a crime laboratory.
Plans are to go out for bids April 25 and acceptance of a construction contract on June 10.
Philip McNayr, president of Frankfurt Short Bruza, said he hopes move-in day will be before May 1, 2015.
Final plans for the three-story building to be built on the southeast corner of Littler Avenue and First Street were presented to the senior steering committee on Wednesday. Conceptual plans were finished in November.
"The design portrays an image of strength and permanence," said John Osborne, director of design for the architects. "Materials were chosen for their low maintenance, durability and longevity."
Landscaped sidewalks running east and west along E First Street were designed to promote a pedestrian connection between downtown and the University of Central Oklahoma campus, he said.
The alley behind Papa John's and FedEx Kinko's will be closed and monitored with gates to provide additional security for the center, Assistant Police Chief Steve Thompson said.
Plans are to extensively interview the contractors to make sure they are top quality and finish their jobs on time, McNayr said.
"We want to know if the contractor is a contractor that finishes the job on site or in the courtroom," McNayr said. "We want them to submit qualifications so we can make sure we know who they are and how they do their work."
There will be a five-week bidding process. Architects said they think this is a good time for the city to go out for bids.
"The Oklahoma City market has been affected the last three or four years by the oil industry, Devon, and they are shutting down now, putting a huge force out of work," said Oscar Majors, quality control and quality assurance manager for the architects. "We think there will be good competition on this project.
"Our timing is great."

- Richard D. Chessick, M.D., Ph.D.
"In this treatise on the origins, development, and functions of the vertical split in health and illness, Goldberg does for disavowal what Freud did for repression. Being of Two Minds achieves a decisive advance in self psychology and is evidence of Goldberg's enormous erudition, prodigious reading across a variety of disciplines, and unusual capacity for seamless integration of widely differing sources of knowledge in a quintessentially psychoanalytic manner. This book is destined to become a classic."
- Paul Ornstein, M.D., Professor of Psychoanalysis, University of Cincinnati
"Arnold Goldberg's new book should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand character disturbances. He convincingly illuminates and illustrates the value of the concept of 'vertical split' for psychoanalytically based treatment. Goldberg writes with such clarity and clinical acumen that the reader can readily apply his ideas to clinical practice."
- Amy Eldridge, Ph.D., Institute for Clinical Social Work, Chicago
"This is a deceptively unassuming book, rare in our field, from an analyst who knows his material so well that he can present it in the clearest of terms. In his effort to elucidate a central tenet in the self-psychological literature, the vertical split, Arnold Goldberg demonstrates, once again, that he is one of our most effective teachers, putting the concept of the split into every terms, illustrating it with succinct clinical problems, and repeating his observations in a variety of contexts . . . we can ask no more of a master teacher than that, by the end of the course, we find ourselves thinking as he does and so can begin to test out his hypotheses for ourselves. This book will do that for you. It is a remarkable accomplishment."
- Henry F. Smith, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
"In the summary at the end of this splendid volume, Goldberg explains that this is an old-fashioned book. Indeed it is: clear, explicit prose, jargon-free, rich in clinical examples, and drawing on a profound history of psychoanalysis without invoking the latest and most fashionable views in the field. As the title implies, the bulk of the book concerns itself with the vertical split, but it also presents many other observations about psychoanalytic process, technique, and values. . . . Its contents, along with the many rich side 'essays,' provide a freshness of thinking combined with a remarkable knowledge of classical psychoanalytic thinking."
- Harold R. Galef, Psychoanalytic Quarterly

Chimpanzee and Red Colobus monkey predator-prey ecology
During the early and mid-1990s, I conducted postdoctoral research on the ecological relationship between chimpanzees and the red colobus monkeys that are their favorite prey in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Although the fact that chimpanzee hunt and relish meat was well known, the details of hunting were poorly understood. The main mammalian prey of chimpanzees is red colobus monkeys at all sites where the two co-occur. By studying two colobus groups and also following enough chimpanzees parties to see 120 encounters between the two species, I was able to test hypotheses about 1)the effects of predation on colobus behavior, ecology and demography, 2)the causes of chimpanzee hunting, and 3)the influence of chimpanzee hunting on colobus social behavioral strategies.
Together with other field studies of chimpanzees predatory behavior (Boesch and Boesch, 1989; Mitani and Watts, 2001), I was able to address both social and ecological influences on the pattern of hunting, and on the long term effects of hunting on colobus social evolution.
Why do chimpanzees hunt ? There is an energetic/nutritional bottom line clearly demonstrated for hunting at multiple study sites, but social factors just as clearly also influence hunting. The particular forest ecology, season, alternative food availability, demographic structure of both chimpanzee and colobus populations, and opportunities for social strategizing, all clearly influence chimpanzee hunting. In Chimpanzee and Red Colobus I outlined at least 16 factors that come into play that predict hunting.
The results of my Gombe work were also useful to paleoanthropologists and archaeologists to model how and why early hominids may have obtained and use meat. We know that meat became an increasingly important part of the diet by about 2.5 million years because we find stone tools in the fossil record. Before that time, proto-hominids were no doubt eating meat as well, but without any archaeological record, living apes offer a window onto past behavior.
This work was conducted with the help of the Gombe Stream Research Centre, and the support of the Tanzanian government, National Geographic Society, National Science Foundation, L.S.B. Leakey Foundation, and Fulbright Foundation.

Situating Multidisciplinary Practice within Social History: A Systemic Analysis of Inter-Professional Competition
Nnona, George C., St. John's Law Review
Imagine that medical doctors were involved in a turf war with robotic engineers over a new revolutionary procedure in medicine-a procedure involving the non-invasive use of intense-energy sources such as radiation or extreme cold to perform bloodless surgery. Imagine further that in this struggle, medical doctors find themselves on the losing end, being displaced by robotics engineers who control the robots that administer such intense energy sources to patients. To what might analysts attribute the displacement of medical doctors by robotics engineers in this struggle-a displacement that would have robotics engineers performing operations ordinarily assumed to be within the professional jurisdiction of medical doctors?1 Some analysts would no doubt attribute such a result to scheming by robotics engineers to usurp the more lucrative functions of medical doctors in the area of complex surgery. Others may even attribute it to collusion between the legislature and lobbyists working for medical engineering firms who have an interest in seeing robotics engineers-their cronies-ascend the commanding heights of the medical field. Some may even go as far as attributing the displacement of doctors to sheer professional envy by robotics engineers, pedestrian as this may seem.
None of the foregoing explanations for the professional ascendancy of the robotics engineer would necessarily be false. Indeed, all of them may be true or contain elements of the truth. Yet these reasons, whether standing individually or taken together, would provide too austere and simplified a picture of the struggle between robotics engineers and medical doctors. They would thus be inadequate as an explanation of the causes and outcome of the struggle. A closer look will reveal the shortcomings of these reasons to be, in large part, their non-immersion in the proper social, historical, and even scientific context. They are linear and atomistic in character. Being atomistic and ahistorical, they do not go far enough in capturing the complex contextual issues and other multifarious factors and problems that shaped and determined the struggle between both professions and the final results.2 Yet precisely such explanations were advanced to account for the recent struggles between the legal profession and the accounting profession, as made manifest in the debates over multidisciplinary practice.3 The primary aim of this paper is to challenge this dominant linear and atomistic presentation of the struggles between the accounting and legal professions over multidisciplinary practice ("MDP"), by providing an alternative, holistic account that situates the MDP phenomenon within relevant sociological and historical context. This account focuses on the dynamics of the inter-professional system and the historical development of both professions within that system to explain the relative weakness of the legal profession and its susceptibility to defeat in the inter-professional struggle which MDP represents. Such an account provides a full and fair view of the phenomenon by integrating a multiplicity of factors and actors in a manner that necessarily yields a wide and fresh perspective. Such an alternative account is valuable, not just intrinsically as a historical or theoretical matter, but also to the policy maker of the future who is intent on getting a good grasp on the fundamentals in this area.
This paper is divided into five parts excluding the introduction and conclusion. Part I provides the basic background information concerning MDP and the recent debates surrounding it. In doing so, it also provides greater detail about the shortcomings in the current understanding of the animating factors and causes of MDP, and the objective of this article in addressing those shortcomings. Part II introduces the system of professions, the basic framework for the analysis herein-a system in which the imperatives of natural selection are as real as they are in any ecosystem; where only the most nimble and responsive professions survive. …

Ohmygosh. I just realized that was your book. I thought the art looked really familiar. I've thought that this style of watercolor was the most beautiful I'd ever seen since I opened that book. Unfortunately, I am hopeless with paints, but I still love reading that book to admire the lovely artwork!

It's only intended as a single piece. It was commissioned by someone.
Ah, fair enough. I did miss that (probably half on purpose/wishful thinking) in the description.
Thank you for sharing it, though!
Here's a random question on commissions... I don't know if there is an art-world 'standard' but when sharing an image that was a commission, is it the artist's job to ask the commissioner? Or by dint of being the artist is that simply your right? Knowing this image was a commission just reminded me that I've wondered this when I've asked permission, myself, from commissioners to share the work for portfolio purposes and such.

Hey Stephanie, a while ago (possibly on your blog and not here), you mentioned a particular site that was helpful in picking color pallets that one wouldn't normally use.Do you happen to recall the site name? I'd love to try it out!
I think you have me confused with someone else. I have never seen a site like that!
I think I might have XD I did google it though. It's apparently called Colorschemedesigner.
oh, thanks! i'll check that out.
Love your work...
Just amazing!!!
cant tell you how much i love your work!
Amazing! I love everything of yours.

1/2 Shell DOT Motorcycle Helmets - GLOSS BLACK Helmet - Daytona Skull Cap w/ Visor
I really like the DHD079 - GLOSS BLACK Helmet - Daytona Skull Cap w/ Visor I got from www.leather2go.com. They describe it as the smallest DOT half shell helmet ever made. Not sure about that but, they are in my opinion smaller than the other half shells I have seen. They come in three different shell sizes and help you get the best proportionate fit possible. They come with or without visors. I chose this one with the visor because you can always snap it off if you want.
This is a refined product, is is comfortable to wear, looks cool, and provides alot more protection than less expensive helmets.Added 5 Years Ago from Motorcyclehelmetsandjackets

Covered California deadline still Monday
People who begin application by midnight March 31 will have until midnight April 15 to finish.
Amid a flood of applications, the state's health insurance exchange said Wednesday it would give residents an extra two weeks to finish applying for insurance, as long as they start enrolling by midnight Monday.
Covered California's softened deadline followed the Obama Administration's announcement Tuesday that it would allow consumers using the federal insurance marketplace in three dozen states to finish enrolling after the March 31 cutoff date.
By the Numbers
• 1,018,315: Number of enrollments in Covered California as of March 15
• 85: Percentage of enrollees eligible for subsidies
• 696,000: Covered California's most optimistic projection for enrollments by the March 31 deadline
• 76,875: San Diego County residents enrolled in plans through Covered California as of Feb. 28
• 22: Percentage of enrollees who self-identified as Latino
• 46: Percentage of subsidy-eligible Californians who are Latino
• 50,000: Number of California households that began the enrollment process on Tuesday
Americans who aren't insured by then are supposed to pay a penalty of as much as 1 percent of their income, according to the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The announcements from both the federal and California insurance exchanges come amid a surge in applications.
The U.S. website, healthcare.gov, drew 1.1 million visitors on March 24, the second-most in a single day.
On California's exchange, CoveredCA.com, more than 50,000 households began the application process on Tuesday alone, said Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee — the most in a single day since the enrollment period opened six months ago.
More than 39,000 people completed the process and selected a plan on Monday and Tuesday this week, Lee added, which exceeds the number for the entire month of October.
The heightened interest has bogged down the website, making its responsiveness slower than Covered California officials would like. That is one reason consumers who begin the application by 11:59 p.m. Monday will now have until 11:59 p.m. on April 15 to finish the process and pick a plan.
"This is not an extension," Lee said. "We're just making sure you can get across the finish line."
Starting an application means creating an online account, filling out all the required information on the "Apply for Benefits" page, then clicking "Continue" to the "Consent for Verification" page and selecting "Save & Exit" or "Continue."
Lee urged consumers to also seek out other methods for enrolling, either by calling Covered California or visiting certified enrollment counselors at clinics and dozens of events throughout the state that are listed on the Covered California's website. One such event, hosted by Supervisor Ron Roberts and Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, is scheduled to for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Normal Heights Community Center on Hawley Boulevard.

Phone: 1 (800) 300-1506
Fax: (888) 329-3700
Mail: P.O. Box 989725
West Sacramento, CA
Consumers on the federal exchange will also have to begin applying by 11:59 p.m. on March 31 if they want an extension. Those who attest online that they had trouble signing up before the deadline will be allowed to begin the process after March 31, said Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Both the federal and state online platforms have experienced their share of glitches during the six-month enrollment period.
Still, the Obama administration is close to meeting its goal of 6 million enrollees, with 5 million enrolled in private plans through government health exchanges as of March 17.
Covered California by March 15 had surpassed its first-year enrollment goals, with 1,018,315 already enrolled statewide. That's 146 percent of 696,000, the program's initial maximum estimate for the entire enrollment period beginning in October and ending March 31.

Joel McHale serves up some Soup to Pittsburgh Community
Fans of E!'s "The Soup" know host Joel McHale loves to rip on Ryan Seacrest, Tyra Banks, Honey Boo Boo and her mother, June, Taylor Swift, the Kardashians and... well it's a long list. After 90 minutes of McHale's standup routine Friday night at the Carnegie Library of Homestead, now we know why.
They are just such easy targets. It was evident, soon into his well-crafted and often hilarious set, that McHale must really love hosting The Soup. Although he mentioned ratings were up from Thursday's broadcast (horray!), he didn't address his beleaguered NBC sitcom, "Community," other than a mild jab at Chevy Chase, who left the show in cranky fashion this season. (Although after McHale finished for the night, he exited to the blaring rap of "Bonfire," a song by Community co-star Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino).
He tailored his high-energy performance to include Pittsburgh references in a number of running jokes, starting with the fact that Andrew Carnegie probably never envisioned an Asian-American -- warmup act C.J. Toledano, a former "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" writer who attended Point Park University -- working the stage of this lovely, century-old music hall.
There was also the idea that nothing is too absurd to throw onto those Primanti Bros. sandwiches.
But McHale was at his best when he talked about making people angry with The Soup (Hugh Hefner and McHale's grandma, among them) and describing the joys of fatherhood. With two other jobs, it's a wonder he finds the time or energy to go on tour with his standup routine, but the capacity crowd in Munhall was clearly delighted he has.

Finding some porn magazines whilst tidying up her living room, Danica takes a little peek at them and is surprised by how much they make her feel horny.
Looking at all those beautiful sexy girls with their saucy smiles, pulling open their tight juicy pussies and fingering their hot pink holes, suddenly gives Danica the urge to have a wank!
Pulling her knickers down as she sits on the couch, Danica spreads her stockinged legs and touches her hot cunt as she looks through her dirty magazines.
She imagines herself licking all those naked pussies as she wanks her soaking wet pussy, touching the brown ring of her puckered anus with her fingers for extra pleasure.
Imagining those nubile girls sucking on her huge fleshy tits, their wet mouths nibbling and biting on her rock hard nipples, Danica finger fucks her pussy and climaxes with an intense orgasm, which is loud and long.

Oklahoma City Thunder's D-League franchise moving to OKC from Tulsa
The NBA Development League is coming to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder-owned Tulsa 66ers will relocate 100 miles southwest beginning with the 2014-15 season and join their parent club in the state's capital.
It's a move necessitated by the 66ers' home arena, the 4,500-seat SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby, choosing to go in a different direction and cease booking major events. The venue decided it would no longer offer arena space lease the space to anyone, including the 66ers.
"Since we're in the business of banking rather than event attractions, we're focusing on (smaller events) as we get closer to finding the right buyer," Joyce Madewell, a spokeswoman for Spirit Bank, told the Tulsa World in June.
The Thunder is now in negotiations with Oklahoma City officials to lease the Cox Convention Center for the 66ers' 24-game regular season home schedule. Capacity inside the Cox Center for basketball events is listed as 13,846. The venue also hosts the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons.
No decision has been made whether the team will retain the 66ers nickname or rebrand the franchise.
"Our two seasons in Bixby were successful, and we were pleased to be there, but circumstance beyond our control made it necessary to look for a new home for our Development League team," said Danny Barth, executive vice president and chief administrative office of the Thunder.
"We explored several potentially viable options but were unable to find a facility in the Tulsa area that meets all of our business and basketball needs, so we made the decision to bring the team to Oklahoma City. We offer our sincere thanks to the communities of Tulsa and Bixby, and to all of the 66ers fans and sponsors in the area for their loyal support over the last few years."
The 66ers had been in Tulsa since 2005. The Thunder purchased the franchise in 2008, making it the team's sole affiliate.
The Los Angeles D-Fenders, D-League affiliate of the Lakers, is the only other NBA Development League franchise to play in the same city as its parent club.
Since 2008, the Thunder has maintained a close relationship with the 66ers, shuttling players to and from Tulsa countless times to assist their development. Current Thunder players Reggie Jackson, Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones, Andre Roberson and Grant Jerrett have all spent time with the 66ers.
The 66ers will train at the Thunder Community Events Center, the original training home of the Thunder.
The move of the 66ers is subject to NBA D-League approval.

I finally finished this bad boy up and took it for a spin today. The damn thing is fast and stiff, I love it.
This is the first bike I've ever built and it was a great experience. I doubt I'll ever buy another bike complete. I'm gonna take it to my LBS so they can look it over to make sure everything is ok. I am hearing some noise when I pedal. It's either the crank/bb or my chain isn't perfectly straight. The gear ratio (48/19) seems to be good but I have to test it on a steep hill. And when I'm down in the drops my nuts feel like they're getting smashed so I'm going to lower the nose of the seat a bit. Otherwise I'm lovin' the ride.
Here's some bike porn. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out.

French women seem to have the uncanny ability to look effortlessly stunning. Before we all run out to buy striped sailor shirts and Chanel flats, it's worth starting with the basics: our skin. This French brand's two-in-one cleanser and makeup remover is made for dry, sensitive, and irritation-prone complexions. The amber-hued gel keeps skin's moisture barrier intact while effectively melting away all signs of dirt, debris, and product residue.
Takes off my makeup well enough, though I don't generally wear heavy eye makeup. The smell is a little much, and I really dont like products that go on my sensitive facial skin to be so heavily scented. That said, I didn't have a bad reaction to it, and it didn't strip my skin too bad, so I was overall pretty pleased.2

That's right! My green fixie project is now a complete bike!
I went out for an extremely short test ride last night, because it was 11:00 but I couldn't stand the thought of putting it together but not riding it.
Observation #1: Fixed gear really isn't that different when you're cruising along. "Coasting" isn't that big a deal as long as you just let your legs go with the pedals. The bike "feels" a lot faster than my commuter, although that could be the thinner tires and the fact that it's an easy 15 lbs lighter.
Observation #2: My brakes suck about as much as you'd expect, but if you want to whine at me go do it in my "Where to save money" thread.
Observation #3: For some reason I have a hard time at really low speeds. I guess that's when I'm most used to coasting. But as my speed approaches zero, I get very unsteady. My attempts at trackstanding were utter failures. Part of it could be that the brand new clipless pedals are tighter than @#$*(, so I was having trouble unclipping fast enough to be comfortable at really low speeds.
Observation #4: Those flipped townie bars SUCK. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low, even with the taller stem I got. Too far back as well. I'll try flipping them back over, which should correct the height (I compared this to my old bike, seat is about the same height, these handlebars are like SIX inches lower). If they're still too far back I may be going with mustache bars.
Observation #5: I need a longer seatpost... and I might get a new seat too. It has a straight-tube post with clamp-on seat... although since I'd probably get the B67, I might as well replace just the seat post first with another straight tube one... then if I ride it for a while and decide this seat has to go, I can get the B66 instead.
Observation #6: The headset probably needs to be loosened a sconch. It has a little bit of resistance, I thought it might go away after a bit but it doesn't seem to be inclined to. It was noticable while riding, so I probably need to loosen it just a tiny bit.

Long time no see seems to be a repetitive greeting on the last few blog posts, and each time I repeat it its longer time; 5 months since I've last posted, 5 months and I've completed GCSE's (4 A*'s, 1 A, 3 B's and a C) , had 2.5 months of Summer holidays that are not evident on this blog, turned 16 and just started Sixth form and my AS levels. Crazy crazy times. Hopefully this kick starts a more prolonged period of blogging but I doubt it; if I ever whined about GCSE's, I obviously didn't understand the weight of AS levels. Silly, naive, 14-15 year old me. Anyway, here is a guest post from Jane Pipkin, a ridiculously lovely and disgustingly well dressed sixth former from my school who is a Media Studies superstar and a bit of a guiding light to me, her being in the year above, seemingly very sorted and taking the almost exact same subjects. Read and enjoy…
Festival Fashion 2015 ,By Jane Pipkin
Another year, another successful music festival held at Reading and Leeds. Even though the weather did not always deliver, festival goers' definitely delivered their style.
This year it was incredible to see the mix of styles festival goers were creating and throughout the weekend there seemed to be a common theme of what inspired the style trend this year. Vintage & Street Style Fashion. Arguably, before this type of style was seen more in the more mature festival goers however this year there seemed to be an increase in younger goers opting for the vintage look. However, it is important to note the bohemian style (which Reading witnessed a lot of last year) still seems to be popular with the young adults (17-25). Many females still opted for the simplistic and stereotypical modern festival outfit of denim shorts and crop tops however still managing to add their own festival vibe by adding accents to individualise their outfits and create a different theme.
A popular accent this year was the use of the black fedora hat. This accessory is so simple yet effective and has been spotted at the front of many high street stores such as Topshop. It is such a summer essential as it can be matched with any sort of outfit to create different styles. There is something about this style of hat that has a 'festival feel' to it. On the left, these ladies have made their hats the main focus of the outfit by matching with the simple and block coloured clothing items. One of the ladies has gone for a 'boho style feel' by the use of the brown leather tassel jacket, the tassels themselves help to make the outfit overall more individualise and create the bohemian feel. The girl on right has styled her fedora differently however has still gone for the retro feel. She has used the current trend of the denim buttoned up A-line skirt and paired it with a white crochet long sleeve top which has a tie up feature in the middle to enhance her festival look. Her black handbag which is not only a statement piece but is practical and also matches the fedora to overall give her this simplistic but clean cut look.
Another trend this festival was the use of paring knee high socks with practical footwear such as wellington boots. The use of the knee high socks helped to create a flirty and girly look overall and was another accent used to create a different look to outfit. The two girls here have also gone for the simplistic look with the girl on the left styling denim dungarees (which delivers a girly look and feel) and underneath an official Reading Festival 2015 top which helps to make her part of the Reading Festival movement showing her loyalty and enjoyment to the Festival Republic 'brand'. Furthermore, her boots help to finish her 'country and girly look'. Her friend on the right however has gone for the more boho/retro vibe (like the girls above) however she has done it differently. She has focused her outfit on two main colours black and grey. The pattern tight fit skirt blends in nicely with her black off the shoulders top and black knee high socks. Instead of wearing boots, she has instead chosen black brogues which helps to tie her outfit together. Since the English weather was predicted not to be as nice as last years' festival, both girls have practical rain coats which they have cleverly layered and made a part of their outfits to develop the festival and country feel. These girls show that being practical can still be fashionable.
Couples were at it too, creating combinations which created an overall look between them. The way the couple on the left co-ordinated their outfits, really made me adore their overall look. As I said before, the trending inspiration this year seemed to head towards a vintage look. The photo of the couple on the left sums the vintage style definition perfectly. The lady has perfectly created a pin-up inspired look through the use of hair, make-up and her outfits. Her tattoos further help to develop the vintage pin up girl look. The use of the dark blue high waist jeans and white graphic print t-shirt flatter and enhance her curves beautifully. The use of the red belt and matching red bandana used in her head completes the vintage look. She has even been girly with the choice of footwear, her pink wellington are practical but help to achieve the feminine look. Her boyfriend has gone for the vintage rock vibe and added a few accessories such as the chain on his shorts and his cap to help co-ordinate with his girlfriend's vintage look. His pair of burgundy Doc Martens develops the rock vintage vibe he is trying to create.
The younger teen couple here have gone for a more indie inspired look which was also popular among the younger generation. This couple' outfits work well together to create an indie inspired collection. Brooke (the girlfriend) has gone for the modern, trendy and stereotypical festival look of the denim shorts and a plain black top however has made it her own by tying a oversized and mismatched style checked shirt around her. Alongside this she styles a pair of purple Doc Martens which are stereotypically wore by the indie and niche market so helps to create the overall indie look. Her indie inspired style is further created by her boyfriend who is styling a denim jacket he actually purchased from Harper & Lewis pop up store at the festival. His black skinny jeans and vans help to create a chill and collective look overall. Both look very causal however still co-ordinated very well.
Many young females were dressing appropriately for the unpredictable British weather however still achieved a festival style. The use of the long dress and skirt worked really well for the festival location this year as it helped to illustrate a vintage but also simplistic style. The lady on the left was very inspired by vintage style. This off the shoulder flower patterned dress was very different from anything I had seen at the festival all weekend however it worked very well. She perfectly achieved a comfortable and girly look through the use of the dress, her frilly socks paired with black canvas shoes also helped to portray the vintage image.
Whereas the young lady on the right has used the long black skirt and styled it in a different way but still achieving a vintages style. The use of the black rolled up black shirt overall is the key piece helping the achievement of the vintage style. The subtle splashes of colour on her top makes this outfit appropriate for the summer festival season. This is such a clever outfit as it suits both the summer season however is perfect for the colder weather.
Completing the Look
At festival this year, a common trend seemed to be the use of make up to symbolise freedom, fun and the bohemian style. There there was a new make-up trend this year the use of glitter mixed with the ever so popular vibrant festival paint to create an almost effortless however magical bohemian look. I felt this make-up trend was gorgeous as it enhanced festival goers' entire look without overpowering it and looking too much like something off a Christmas tree. Being subtle is very important with this kind of look and festival goer Sophie Harvey achieves the 'fun' and 'magical' look perfectly.
In conclusion, Reading Festival 2015 didn't just introduce upcoming bands and their music but it also introduced new trends and new styles to the festival platform. Even last years' trends still seemed to be popular this year; however people were more willing to learn to individualise their outfits and express clearly their music taste and personality. Even though the British weather did not always deliver, goers still put their heart and soul to create memorable styles and helped to influence others to express themselves more through their fashion. Though the stereotypical flower-crown and shorts combination is still in, there has been a decrease in goers styling this look but instead going for a more original look or even just developing the trending look. Bohemian and the Vintage style are slowly taking over the Reading Festival event but will it continue to be this way next year?
….What a lad. Thank you Jane, for garnishing my dilapidated little blog with your coolness!

I know she's posted more than once that the Sox chances of making the playoffs are dim.
She must have really shown you up badly, for you to carry a grudge this long.
Not that it would be difficult...
Tell us all again about the that big Sox collaspe in '07 you went on and on about here.
Isn't that why you left for a while?

Where did all the people come from?
Nicaragua: Volcanoes, Beaches, and Fireworks
After packing up our very dirty stuff, we walked down to a beach restaurant we'd been eying for days: Meson Espanol. This Spanish restaurant featured fresh paella and the waiter had been encouraging us to join him for the past few days. Today was finally the day. We got a great table beachside and enjoyed a few beers, glasses of wine, and tapas. Steve and Sam went crazy over the paella, which included fresh mussels, shrimp, clams, and fish. The nice waiter even had a gift for us- a large patch that says, 'Made in Nicaragua.' For two hours we sat there and ate and drank and it cost us less than $40.
Once we got back to the Hotel Victoriano, our driver Sergio and guide Raymundo were waiting for us. The service we've received from Adventure Life and Careli Tours has been fabulous. We were driven back to Managua in the same spacious, clean van in which we traveled the entire country. Bottled water was available the entire way and the crew is friendly and fun. When traveling to a country as 'foreign' as Nicaragua, it's nice to have consistency in some ways. Sergio and our guides (and our little van) have been the consistency that we needed.
We've met a lot of other travelers along the way who have not been so lucky to have the kind of luxuries that we've had during this trip. Others have traveled by bus or taxi and searched high and low for available lodging. Some have told stories of crazy nights in hostels. We are grateful that we put our trust in a company that took such great care of us. Traveling is not always comfortable, especially in a developing country like Nicaragua. However, we've felt lucky to be able to stay in nice hotels and travel in air conditioned comfort most of the time.
Upon arrival in Managua we checked into the Hotel Contempo, the same hotel where we spent our first night. Again, it was nice to be at a familiar place with familiar faces who recognized us from two weeks ago.
Our adventure is coming to a close but these memories will last a lifetime. Back to the original question, 'why would you want to go to Nicaragua?' The answers are endless but the best answer is, 'Why not?'

Julianne Hough Goes on Lunch Date With Mystery Man (PHOTOS)
Julianne Hough was spotted making out with a mystery man over sushi last week (talk about spicy tuna), but now, she's spending time with a different dark-haired babe.
The former Dancing With the Stars pro was seen leaving Madeo Restaurant in Los Angeles over the weekend, strolling around with a male companion. Considering she was getting cozy with a different guy a few days ago, it's safe to assume that this hunk is just a friend.
Click through the gallery to see Julianne and her pal out and about in their sunny neighborhood. Jules looked adorable in a white t-shirt, denim button-up, and floral shorts.
Julianne and American Idol's Ryan Seacrest ended their two-year relationship in March.

This is my first time on this site, so i apologize if i am not doing this right lol. I miscarried 2 weeks ago today at 11 weeks. I have 2 children and other than having preeclampsia i conceived very easily and had pretty smooth pregnancies. I never in my life expected this and thankfully we had only told a few people even though i started showing right away. I am learning this is a more common thing than people even know and my heart breaks for women who have had to experience this more than once. We would like to try to get pregnant again fairly quickly so i am curious how long it normally takes to start a normal period again and if you did conceive after a miscarriage how long did it take? Thanks!
how long did it take you to conceive again after miscarriage?

I too miscarried at 11 weeks. I've had 2 cycles since I lost my son. My HCG levels dropped over the course of 31 days. At 36 days after my miscarriage AF arrived. I have had 2 cycles since then and will start my third today or tomorrow. We haven't caught an egg yet, but I'm hoping. We currently plan to start preparing to adopt after my December cycle if I'm not pregnant.
There is a study that shows fewer complications within 6 months following a miscarriage. http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20100805/study-no-need-delay-pregnancy-after-miscarriage
Good luck to both of us... I'm so sorry for your loss.

I've had two miscarriages. One MMC at 9 weeks, had to have a D&C. Took me about 6 weeks to get my cycle back and we were pregnant again within 3 cycles. Miscarried that one at 11 weeks and had another D&C. Cycle came back within 4 weeks and we got pregnant the next cycle. Currently pregnant at 10 weeks and things are looking a lot better for us this time around. We've been monitored closely with near weekly ultrasounds which has helped ease my anxiety and things are looking good. There is hope! Wishing you all the luck in the world.
We specifically took a few months off before trying again but I honestly feel like it was only our second cycle really TRYING before we successfully conceived. It was the 5th month after miscarriage.
Good luck!

Out There in the Dark
Out There in the Dark
Thomas Dunne Books, Hardcover, 9780312343811, 336pp.
Publication Date: February 7, 2006
"Out There in the Dark is an old school Hollywood blockbuster. . . . A terrific, grab-you-by-the-throat movieland epic."
---Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight Since leaving Berlin, the proud, distinguished émigré director Dieter Seife has had to content himself cranking out B movies for Superior Pictures in Hollywood during World War II. Finally, Superior's founder, Arthur Lustig, gives Seife the chance to prove himself on a lavish, three-hankie "woman's picture" titled The Big Betrayal.
Set to star is Harley Hayden, the young (and 4-F) actor who's engaged to Lustig's daughter. Though the town's biggest names are in uniform, Seife is convinced he can find a better male lead for his movie. Hayden counters by hiring a disgraced ex-cop named Roarke to look into Seife's private life---does the secretive German have something to hide? What Roarke uncovers is dangerous, disturbing . . . and, maybe, a very different mystery than it seems.
With its atmosphere of lockstep patriotism and rampant paranoia, Out There in the Dark provocatively speaks to our own time even as it brings to life the sordid side of 1940's Hollywood.
Wesley Strick began his screenwriting career in 1985. His credits include Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear and Mike Nichols' Wolf. Strick has also been one of Hollywood's busiest script doctors, collaborating with Tim Burton, John Woo, and others. He lives with his wife and sons in Los Angeles.
"Stunning! Simply the best Hollywood novel to glide down the freeway since Budd Schulberg and Nathanael West were plying the genre."
---John Blumenthal, author of Millard Fillmore, Mon Amour and What's Wrong with Dorfman?
"Wesley Strick's debut novel is a masterful and delicious rethinking of all our Hollywood favorites. From the hard-drinking, cynical-headed, and tenderhearted private dick, to the mysterious and wealthy beauty who only seems in need of rescue; from the ominous, autocratic, and possibly perverse German director, to the ruthless Jewish studio head with a tragic past; from the B actor whose narcissism seems harmless, to the starlet whose innocence hides voracious sexuality---thanks to Strick's deft narrative and witty insights, none of them are who they seem. What in the hands of lesser writers would be shallow clichés leaps into vivid and profound life in Out There in the Dark, a delightfully entertaining mystery that finally reveals itself as a funnier, spookier, and smarter novel than anything I've read about how celebrity and politics have come to make so happy, so lasting, and so dangerous a marriage."
---Rafael Yglesias, author of Fearless
"If you love Hollywood, read Wes Strick's new novel. His actors are sexier, his directors more maniacal, and his executives more Byzantine than their counterparts in our world of media monoliths. Out There in the Dark does what a terrific book about Hollywood must---it makes backstabbing, failing upwards, and cheating glorious fun."
---Robert Cort, author of Action!

1. The mean of the numbers a, b, 8, 5, 10 is 6 and the variance is 6·80.
Then which one of the following gives possible values of a and b?
(1) a =1, b = 6 (2) a = 3, b = 4 (3) a = 0, b = 7 (4) a = 5, b = 2
Let a, b, c be any real numbers. Suppose that there are real numbers x, y, z
not all zero such that x = cy bz, y = az cx and
z = bx ay . Then a2 + b2 + c2 is equal to:
(1) 0
(2) 1
(3) 2
(4) -1
The quadratic equations x2 + 6x + a = 0 and x2 + cx
+ 6 = 0 have one root in common. The other roots of the first and second
equations are integers in the ratio 4:3. Then the common root is:
(1) 3
(2) 2
(3) 1

in solid phase.
(2) B2H6.2NH3 is known as inorganic benzene.
(3) Boric acid is a protonic acid.
(4) Beryllium exhibits coordination number of six.
Amount of oxalic acid present in a solution can be determined by its
titration with KMnO4 solution in the presence of H2SO4.
The titration gives unsatisfactory result when carried out in the presence of
HCl, because HCl
(1) reduces permanganate to Mn2+.
(2) oxidises oxalic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
(3) gets oxidised by oxalic acid to chlorine.
(4) furnishes H+ ions in addition to those from oxalic acid.
Which of the following factors is of no significance for roasting sulphide
ores to the oxides and not subjecting the sulphide ores to carbon reduction
(1) Metal sulphides are less stable than the corresponding oxides.
(2) CO2 is more volatile than CS2.

(4) CO2 is thermodynamically more stable than CS2.
This question contains Statement-1 and Statement -2. Of the four choices
given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two
Statement –1: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light
nuclei undergo fusion. and
Statement –2: For heavy nuclei, binding energy per nucleon increases with
increasing Z while for light nuclei it decreases with increasing Z.
(1) Statement –1 is true, Statement- 2 is true; Statement -2 is not a correct
explanation for Statement-1
(2) Statement –1 is true, Statement- 2 is false
(3) Statement –1 is false, Statement- 2 is true

Preaching to the choir here but if any of you get the chance to watch (and friends and family) "The woman who stops traffic" do so as it's an excellent insight in just how much of a death grip the average motorist has on their steering wheel.
Basically, it's a about a conflict resolution/management consultant who is asked to try and un-jam three completely grid locked towns. Very interesting and a little frustrating to watch (Lots of "I'd drive less if there was less traffic" comments ).
The TV program is available free online here - http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html
edit: Doh! the real title is "the woman who stops traffic"

I just acquired the SUNTO D6I. I went to the swimming pool the dive mode was activated. After it gave a 48 hours no fly even I did not use yet for any dive Is it normal?
Hello Nadir, no this is not normal. I can see how it will go into dive mode after a certain depth and being down for a period of time it will move into dive mode. But I do not know why it would give you a no fly time. You would need to contact the manufacture directly at 760-597-5000 they would be able to walk you step-by-step of how to reset your computer.
I asked the first question about the claim of a rechargeable battery. Please verify. Suuntos own site shows no reference to rechargeable battery and in fact says its a two year life and uses a CR2450 battery... Suunto is known for not having user changeable batteries and suggesting this has changed especially to a rechargeable is quite a significant change. I really would like confirmation please, SCUBA.COM is the only site selling D6i and claiming a rechargeable battery!
Suunto D6i is the wrist dive computer of choice for those who take their diving seriously. Features like the tilt-compensated 3D comopass and wireless air integration make it invaluable in situations where the other people rely on your diving skills. It's also easy to synch with Movescount.com, so you can log and share dive info, images, and videos with the rest of the world when you're out of the water. The D6i offers wireless air integration, so you can keep track of current cylinder pressure and remaining air time with a glance at your wrist, giving you more time to enjoy your dive. Navigation is easier than ever before thanks to the tilt-compensated 3D compass, which gives you full confidence in the accuracy of the bearing, regardless of the angle of your wrist.
