So, it sounds to me like the regents want some measure of student learning in your classes other than grades- possibly for accreditation. What kind of learning do they want to measure? Some sort of general ed requirements? Critical thinking? Or do you get to decide as a department what would constitute important learning?
Once you have the answer to what you are trying to measure, the how becomes easier I think.
You might be interested in the workshop or its resulting website that the Building Strong Geoscience Departments project is running on program assessment this February.

I do have my students interpret geologic (in the case of physical geology) figures or graphs. I pop it up on the lecture screen and ask them what they see/notice, and the discussion leads off from how they respond. They're more comfortable with this process as the semester progresses, but I don't quantify the results.
For Catherine, I concentrate on trying to develop critical thinking skills (partially in the way I just stated). I see too many students come to my classes who just want to know what to memorize for a test. They're a little irritated when I ask application questions that they have to critically think through :o) I think that I'm better at doing assignments/labs in my environmental science course that have assessment ruberics built in rather than my other classes. I think this is attributed to the fact that I developed this course during one of the NAGT workshops! It's a great process. I had no pre-conceived ideas about how I wanted to teach the class because it was new. I need to start over in my geology course to incorporate more of those type assignments and labs. I think it's harder for that class because I know what material that I need to cover for anyone who may turn into a geology major & for those who will need to take the teaching certification exam. I read on some of the other posts that others have a harder time with the physical geol course as well. I guess it's just a matter of incorporating assignments/labs in small increments until I (or we) end up where we want to be.

Since many of you are not first year instructors, I'm curious what your thoughts on this are. What is the line between making sure I cover all the material and making the class more experiential?

We offer a full meteorology curriculum in our program with three meteorology professors and ~60 undergrads (freshman through senior)...What this means is that each of us (the professors) has each of the individual meteorology students in 3-4 different courses over 4 years. I often see the same students in my classes from one semester to the next. We have a lot of material to cover...
What's discouraging, is that we find there is little retention from one semester to the next - despite the fact that all of our courses tend to build on each other. Students in my senior Climatology class have some of the SAME misconceptions I find in my intro class! The upshot is that I spend a lot of time reviewing what they've learned in previous classes - and never get to all the new material anyway. Ultimately, being able to cover a lot of material in upper-division classes requires that students have a solid understanding of the 'basics'...
This semester I've begun giving my senior students regular short quizzes on the 'basics' - as a way to review, and as a way of determining how quickly I can introduce new concepts. I'm finding that each semester is different, and I need to tailor the pace of the class to the students in that particular class..

Did you look at the paired scores for individual students? David McConnell just presented a reanalysis of some of Julie's data and looking at the pairs gave substantially different results than looking at the class averages. You can find his paper and presentation here:
David would be a great person to discuss your results with. He's at NC State.

In any case, I do like your suggestions, and I'd like to think about ways to do more of the large class activities that you mentioned in your profile - I have 50 students in my intro class. I think we'll be retooling that class some over the next few years, so there's an opportunity to try some new things.

We see the same thing. In my atmospheric dynamics class, which requires vector (3rd semester) calculus as a prerequisite, I have to reteach the definitions and interpretations of derivatives and integrals, which is why I regard myself as a calculus "reteacher". The same is true to varying degrees about meteorology content. I've concluded in the case of the calculus that the subject matter is relatively abstract and difficult, and that most students simply need multiple exposures to it in different contexts before they begin to understand it well enough to use it as a problem-solving and interpretative tool. It takes more than one course's worth of exposure for them to get it. The same is probably true about at least some meteorology concepts.
That said, I still harbor hope that there are pedagogical strategies that might help students get the concepts the first (or second) time and retain them. I've just got to read more of the literature, be more creative, take more risks, spend more time ....

ZF-8046: fix a todo in pgsql.php pdo code public function listTables()
Just a little imrovment as suggested in the code
Patch applied and tested with r19051
It did not work. I use PostgreSql version 1.8.4
My sugestion:

. "AND c.relkind = 'r' ";
Problem in pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
resolved through of the
SET search_path TO
My fault, this commit wasn't suppose to be in branch but only in trunk that's why the "Fix Versions" field was "Next minor release" I will revert it in branch ASAP.
I failed to answer and have to re-edit the ticket..
All is to know what do you realy expect when using show tables. Query provided is fine.
Perhaps you just want to select like that :
select table_schema, table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema <> 'pg_catalog' and table_schema !~ '^pg_toast' and table_schema <> 'information_schema';
or just ommit the is_visible from the First query, but please keep clear of that : "AND c.relname !~ '^(pg_|sql_)' " which is useless and can just lead to errors. (damn! do you really suggest I can not have a table name "sql_zend" or "pg_rox" ?!)

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kates My favorite teapot! I received this as a gift last Christmas and use it at least once a week. Like many other reviewers noted, it holds a lot more tea than you would expect and it's great at keeping it warm. It's also surprisingly easy to wash out the pot, which was my only concern. I have purchased a few as gifts and will definitely pick up a few more! September 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ginger Best tea set I've ever owned This is the perfect piece, it goes with every color scheme! The bottom is perfect to keep sugar in when entertaining or to drink from on a cold day. November 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Live-Laugh-Love Love it! Teapot holds generous serving of tea & keeps it hot for a long time. Great to cozy up with a good book! July 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmeliesGnome Beautiful! Great teapot I bought as a gift for someone. I know they will love it. I was there at 9am on a Saturday and the store crew in Elk Grove could not have been nicer. I also found some butter fudge there again! Different company but a fantastic taste. So good I went back the next day at 10am and bought 5 more! August 22, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth I love it! At a little cafe in Gloucester VA I first saw this pot. They directed me to local World Market and I couldn't believe the bargain! Now that I'm home I've used this set twice and I LOVE it! June 12, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by StuckinCowboyCountry I'd love to buy one for all my friends! The set is even better than I'd hoped, the picture does it little justice. It's large without being bulky and stylish without being too ornate for everyday use. The fact that it's plain white allows for much creativity with accessories. I'm so glad I didn't buy a set before now, this one is perfect for me. May 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by InternJack A real delight to use. This is quite a nice set. Many times the teapots for these sets are too small but this one will fill the huge cup more than once. But the thing that I like the most is the simple yet elegant design. Not only does it provide ample tea for one person but I can use the teapot for tea for 2 with my smaller teacups and the teacup it's self for latte or an interesting cream soup. Great set for limited storage areas. March 22, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tea Diva I love this little teapot. I bought this for myself as a present. I really love using it. It holds a lot of tea, which is good for when I'm doing something and don't want to make another cup. The handle of the teapot and cup seem sturdy enough (but look and feel very delicate), but I would still support the bottom of the teapot when it's full. January 10, 2009

Hugh Jackman's air guitar
Star of Les Mis demonstrates the director's rock opera version.PT5M36S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2brdg 620 349 December 21, 2012
The red carpet ran the length of Pitt Street Mall. Crazed Christmas shoppers paused and strained their necks to see what the fuss was about. It was the Australian premiere of Les Miserables. Shopping was soon forgotten as thousands of fans lined the walkway. There were screams when Hugh Jackman stepped on to the red carpet looking dapper in his tuxedo. There was a roar when Russell Crowe, without his estranged wife Danielle Spencer, paused to wave. Both stars spent nearly an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans.
Halfway along they stepped on to a platform and were interviewed by Kerri-Anne Kennerly. Crowe said being in the mall brought back memories.
"In 1986-87 I used to busk in Pitt Street Mall and Kings Cross. I'd make $50 to cover rent then enough for fried rice and a packet of cigarettes. Those were the days," he said.

Jackman admitted to a bad case of cold feet before filming Les Mis started. "The day before we started shooting I saw Russell and I said, 'I think I've bitten off more than I can chew.' And he put his hand on my shoulder and just said 'You'll be right mate. We'll be right."'
The film's director, Tom Hooper and producer, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, also attended. The event was a black tie affair and guests included Jackie Weaver, Kate Ritchie, Michael Caton and Jessica Mauboy.
Members of the original cast of the Australian stage production also attended including Marina Prior, Debra Byrne and Martin Crewes. The red carpet snaked its way to the State Theatre where guests sipped champagne before the screening of the film.

Better batteries and high-torque starters have helped, but starting big inch motors can still be troublesome.
S&S Cycle's compression release system eliminates high compression starting problems. Designed exclusively for S&S cylinder heads, the compression release system consists of a small valve that opens during starting and allows a portion of the cylinder pressure to escape into the exhaust port. The reduced cylinder pressure makes it easier for the starter to turn the engine.
When the engine starts, the valve closes and the engine runs normally, with full compression. With the S&S compression release kit, a stock starter is able to start almost any engine. These compression releases are a good solution for engines using other manufacturer's cams, which do not have built-in compression releases. Fits S&S cylinder heads for big twin.
Manual release:
Activated by a cable similar to a choke control, this slick system can be used with any style rocker cover.
- Rocker covers must be removed when installing S&S® compression releases. If lack of frame clearance prevents removal of rocker covers, engine must be removed from frame for compression release installation.
- All S&S heads for 1999-up big twins are machined for S&S compression releases.
- In most cases, S&S compression releases can be installed while the engine is in the frame with the special S&S two-piece socket kit, part #53-0045.
- If cylinder heads are machined for S&S compression releases, but compression releases are not used, special plug part #90-4916 (two required) must be installed to seal the machined hole.
- Stock cylinder heads cannot be machined for S&S compression releases because there is not enough material in critical areas.

What does it mean to support or oppose Atheism+? I took a stab at defining what Atheism+ is all about in The New Atheism+. And Dana Hunter has assembled a quick roundup of other articles on FtB about this movement up to then, but Greta Christina's posts Why Atheism Plus Is Good for Atheism and Atheism Plus, and Some Thoughts on Divisiveness are both a must-read, while Jen McCreight has announced the launch of the new Atheism Plus Website which is still under construction but will certainly grow in content.
Here I will make it as simple as possible. I have added this new requirement on my booking page (and this is just my own personal speaking policy, I don't expect anyone else to adopt it):
Note that I will not speak at events run by organizations that are unwilling to repudiate sexism, racism, and homophobia, or that do not endorse the values of reasonableness, compassion, and integrity. You do not have to make a public statement or policy on this. You don't even have to specifically mention it. But I must feel comfortable that you are an organization that shares these values. And I will assume you are, unless I have reason not to. But if you consider my taking a stand on this to be divisive, don't ask me to speak at your event (unless it is specifically to debate our moral differences in a reasonable manner). Otherwise I will work with any organization that approves of this value statement, even if it is not an atheist organization or is even an explicitly religious organization.
This goes for individuals as well as organizations, although that will simply be a matter of which company I would prefer to have wherever I happen to be, and not a condition of speaking anywhere (since it's a free country and I fully expect assholes and douchebags will inevitably be anywhere). It will also be a condition of who I condemn or disown on my own time and in my own venues. In short, if you reject this value statement, you are simply my ideological enemy, and I will give you no quarter. I'll respect your legal and human rights, because I believe in that. But don't be shocked if I am not friendly.
This includes if you mock or make fun of Atheism+ or belittle it with stupid dumb-ass shit like calling it Stalinism. That makes you an asshole. Point blank. Plain and simple. We are simply not going to let the Atheism movement become like chat roulette (a point well made in How Not to Build Inclusive Communities).
The rest of this post deals with other, more specific confusions over just what Atheism+ is all about, and who we are chucking into the sewers and shaking the dust off our sandals at.
To be on our side, do you have to adopt every conclusion of every Atheism Plusser on every question of policy or morality? No. This has never been said (not even by me), so it is an irrational thing to conclude.
So what about the subordinate aims of Atheism+ I delineated? (Which I derived from other authors; they weren't only from me.) In my post I sought to find the underlying core values that lead to them, and thus defined Atheism+ by those core organizing values.
Among those subordinate goals the only ones that follow without any reasonable doubt from embracing those three core values are the repudiation of sexism, racism, and homophobia–those being the most well-understood categories of reprehensible behavior and bigotry, or even just innocent but correctable ignorance. But we could include unrepentant transphobia and ableism and other forms of clearly irrational bigotry here, too.
The rest breaks down like this:
We care about social justice: This is also an inevitable consequence of compassion and reasonableness (and integrity, insofar as it entails being honest and treating others fairly). But you can agree that social justice is an important issue, and care about it, agreeing something needs to be done to bring about social justice wherever possible, without agreeing on just what policies will work at that. Plenty of reasonable disagreement and debate can remain.
For example, PZ Myers takes a more hardline stance against Libertarians and equates Atheism+ with explicitly progressive politics, but though I agree he is probably right (IMO, Libertarianism, on any full and proper analysis, doesn't hold up as sound, and won't work to solve most of the actual problems we face), I do not agree that it is any defining characteristic of Atheism+ (which is why, when I wrote an elaborate post about what Atheism+ was, this criterion was nowhere to be seen).
I know many Libertarians who are only Libertarians as an excuse to rationalize the fact that they are assholes and don't give a shit about other people. But I also know many Libertarians who actually do care about social justice issues, and admit problems exist in that domain, and actually have passionate ideas about how to solve them. They might be wrong (sometimes they are even right), but the defining characteristic here is that they care and acknowledge that we should care, about solving those problems. And they will engage in reasonable and honest debate about how to solve them, without hypocrisy. They just have different ideas about what solutions will work.
Thus, those Libertarians are on board with the core values of Atheism+. They are with us–even though they disagree with PZ and I (often radically) on many matters of how to go about solving the problems of injustice and unfairness in society. So this is the defining feature: Do you give a shit about other people, or not? Do you believe something should be done about injustice and unfairness in society (and in talking reasonably about what should be done), or not? If not, then you are an asshole. And you are definitely thumbing-down Atheism+. We are done with you. You are not one of us. You can go start your own clubs and have your own conferences.
We care about women's rights: This is also an inevitable consequence of compassion and reasonableness (and integrity, insofar as it entails, again, being honest and treating others fairly). But you can agree that securing and defending women's rights is an important issue, and care about it, agreeing something needs to be done about it, without agreeing on just what policies will work or what issues really need addressing or can be addressed. Although we well know by now that denying there are any problems to address is really just code for "I don't care about women," so we're not going to be fooled by that one. But other than bullshit like that, again, plenty of reasonable disagreement and debate can exist over the particulars.
Feminism is not identical with female supremacism or misandry; to the contrary, mainstream feminism repudiates female supremacism or misandry (and honestly, I shouldn't even have to say that). Feminism sine qua non is simply the belief that "women should be treated as fairly as men" and that people should be treated as the individuals that they are (so that their own personal exceptional nature can be seen and acknowledged) and that unwarranted assumptions should not be made about them based on gender stereotypes (see Why I Am a Feminist — Richard Carrier and my subsequent discussion). Which is entirely compatible with also fighting against stereotypes, discrimination, and bigotry against men, wherever we find that, too.
Where exactly the problems are and how to solve them are debatable. But this is the defining feature: Do you care about the mistreatment of women, or not? If not, then you are an asshole. And you are definitely thumbing-down Atheism+. We are done with you. You are not one of us. You can go start your own clubs and have your own conferences.
We care about diversity: It's painfully ironic to hear people rejecting a concern for diversity by calling it divisive. (Really. Think about that one for a minute.) But just in case you are unclear on the point, diversity is essential for obvious reasons: to exclude races and genders from our movement (even through inadvertent or unconscious biases) is intrinsically sexist and racist. Moreover, inclusion of diversity makes our movement stronger, larger, and more influential, and makes its knowledgebase broader and better crowd-sourced. In short, you cannot defeat religion's hold on society and the electorate if you aren't even talking to half of it (much less addressing its concerns). But creating diversity requires thinking and talking about how to do that, and then doing something to make it happen.
This does not mean you, personally, have to go knocking on doors in ethnic neighborhoods or start attending local NOW meetings. But it does mean you should be on board with atheist groups and organizations taking an increased diversity seriously, talking about it, and even doing something about it, with at least your vocal or monetary support–even if you still want to debate or be selective as to what methods are used to do that, which is entirely fine. The bottom line is: Do you think this is a good idea in general, or are you against it? If you are against it, then you are an asshole. And you are definitely thumbing-down Atheism+. We are done with you. You are not one of us. You can go start your own clubs and have your own conferences.
We care about applying skeptical, evidence-based reasoning to everything, not just god stuff, or UFOs, or [insert special interest here]: I will assume I don't need to explain why a commitment to reasonableness and integrity (as well as compassion) entails we should all be on board with "critical thinking and skepticism," so I won't insult your intelligence by making any further defense of that. Likewise the matter of wanting better education in logical reasoning and critical thinking in all domains in schools. The question here is whether atheists, atheist groups, and atheist organizations should talk more about how their reasoning and critical thinking apply to social, moral and political questions, and questions in the arts, in parenting or friendship, or any other domain.
It is obviously and stubbornly unreasonable to think the answer is no. This does not mean, however, that you personally should give up focusing most of your attention on the god stuff or UFO stuff or homeopathy or whatever drives your interest and your passion and lines up best with your skillset and resources. Likewise this does not mean we can't have organizations or events of tight focus. What it does mean is simply this: Do you agree it is a good idea for the atheist community in general to focus skeptical, evidence-based reasoning on everything we can, and not just on narrow domains of inquiry and assertion to the total exclusion of all else–or do you think we should not ever, in any venue, apply skeptical, evidence-based reasoning to other matters? If you are in the latter camp, you might not be an asshole, but you are certainly committed to being irrational. And we'll tell you so.
For more on the values of Atheism+ and how the aims of Atheism+ follow from them, see Michael Nugent's Draft Manifesto for Ethical Atheism and its preceding article Why Atheist and Skeptic Groups Should be Inclusive, Caring and Supportive, which are quite excellent (yet were both composed before the Atheism+ label was coined and promoted–similarly, people like Greta Christina have been talking about starting a Third Wave of Atheism well before this, which means Atheism+ is simply the gelling together of what has already been brewing for over a year).
It's hard to fathom how anyone would be in disagreement with Nugent after having read all through both articles with any sincerity. But in any event, as long as you are sticking to the core three values of reasonableness, compassion, and integrity, and the baseline repudiation of sexism, racism, and homophobia, then reasonable debate and disagreement on any particulars is not a rejection of Atheism+.
Does Atheism+ mean us vs. everyone? No. Even though in my article I explained we would work with and get along with many outside groups just fine (we simply wouldn't hold our tongue and not call out any irrationalities there may be in other movements or belief systems), and even though I concluded by identifying the core values dividing us from other atheists as simply our commitment to reasonableness, compassion, and integrity (and nothing more), many have irrationally ignored those points and assumed I was pitting Atheism+ against the whole world, and saying GTFO to everyone not an atheist or…whatever (it's hard to say what really, since these irrational people almost never actually said what they were objecting to when declaring themselves against Atheism+).
So I improved that living document by inserting an irrationality vaccine: a rewrite of the concluding paragraph, thus (additions in bold)…
In the meantime, are you an atheist? Do you identify as an atheist? Then I call upon you to pick sides within our movement (not in comments here, but publicly, via Facebook or other social media): are you with us, or with them; are you now a part of the Atheism+ movement, or do you at least cheer and approve it's values and aims (since you don't have to label yourself), or are you going to stick with Atheism Less and its sexism and cruelty and irrationality? Then at least we'll know who to work with. And who to avoid.
Of course, even the original statement should have been clear enough, since who would side with sexism and cruelty and irrationality? Lots of people, apparently. Many atheists declared themselves for Atheism Less in the comments. Then acted all surprised when I treated them like those who side with sexism and cruelty and irrationality. You reap what you sow, people.
But in any case, the revised conclusion makes even more clear that I am talking about marginalizing a group of people within the atheist movement (I am thus not talking about chucking non-atheists into the sewers–plenty of non-atheists are fully on board with the actual values of Atheism+) and that I am not talking about defining whether you are "in" or "out" by adopting any label (what you call yourself doesn't matter), but by whether you thumbs-up or thumbs-down the values of Atheism+ (which even a conscientious Christian or Muslim could do).
Anyone who does not call themselves a member of Atheism+ but thumbs up what it stands for is a friend of Atheism+. Those people are with us. Everyone else (who doesn't cheer or approve of what we stand for) is against us.
Is Atheism+ at odds with Humanism? No. Humanists can be in the Atheist+ movement or even outside of it and still cheer it on. We are only at odds with those who condemn Atheism+ and its values.
The question of whether Atheism+ is just another name for Humanism has been answered in adequate detail by Jen McCreight (Why Atheism+ and not Humanism?), Greta Christina (Is "Atheism Plus" Just Secular Humanism? and Humanism Is Great — But It's Not Atheism Plus), Daniel Fincke ("Atheism+" =/= "Humanism". Sign Me Up For "Atheism+"), Jason Thibeault (What's in a Name? Quite a Lot, Actually), and Ashley Miller (The Difference between "Atheism+" and Humanism). A relevant point is additionally made by Stephanie Zvan (Standing on Our Own).
I would only add that atheism has become an important word to rally behind. Humanism has long been a hiding word, a way to avoid using the word "atheist." That isn't the case for everyone who calls themselves a humanist. But it is often the case. And intended or not, it still buys into and reinforces the stigma attached to the word "atheist," and thus is inadvertently complicit in supporting bigotry against atheists and atheism. That is not anyone's intention, of course. But it's the effect. (Martin Wagner even gives a recent example.)
One of the things that makes the New Atheism movement new is that it was quickly and strongly tied to a reclaiming of atheism as an identity, which in fact made atheism a social movement in the first place, rather than just something that existed here and there. Atheism has been a bad word, a way to insult or marginalize people as "morally corrupt" or as "commies," a word that could trigger a socially accepted pattern of ill treatment and discrimination, even violence or threats. It still does. It's still acceptable for public officials to call us "evil little things." And now we're standing up against that, as a community.
In order to end this bigotry, we have to own the word and take back control of what it means. And that requires being out about it, declaring ourselves atheists. We have to force people to realize how many atheists there really are among them, and how diverse we are and how not evil we are but in fact how neighborly we are and how passionate we are for moral causes. That will never happen if we tacitly buy into the assumption that atheism is evil by avoiding use of the word. If people hear about humanists doing good things, most will simply not realize that that is code for "atheists doing good things," and will simply go on hating and slandering and mistreating anyone who admits to being an actual atheist.
It's perfectly fine if for your own personal safety or comfort you want or need to avoid the a-word. Likewise if you aren't even sure you are an atheist, or even aren't an atheist (because maybe you're a Deist or a Quaker or a Pagan or what have you). But it is not perfectly fine to condemn those of us who can and do come forward and declare ourselves atheists and organize behind that identity and seek to combat the lies and bigotry surrounding that word. That's one reason Atheism+ is an essential label for some to use and can't simply be replaced with Humanism in all cases, even when those words are defined in such a way (and indeed they can be defined in such a way) that the two groups are 100% identical in values and beliefs.
Finally, are Atheism Plussers all just a bunch of awful bully meanies who make people cry? No. We will speak with passion and harsh truth in defense of the good. We will denounce and marginalize or make fun of people who are enemies of the good. And we will also stick to our values and apologize for or right any of our wrongs. And we will engage each other in reasonable debate on many issues within the compass of our values. These things entail no contradiction.
For example, I made an argument about when and what sort of insults are appropriate in public discourse in The Art of the Insult and the Sin of the Slur, and Daniel Fincke wrote an indirect response in No Hate (responding to other people making unreasonable demands on him, but staking out a position contrary to mine). I agree with his reasoning when we are talking about actual reasoned discourse, and people making an earnest attempt at that. In that context insults are inappropriate, precisely because they violate what I called the fourth rule of moral insult. And he's quite right that there is no sense in despising people we merely disagree with, much less treating them like we do.
But I disagree with him insofar he means to say that his moral conclusions hold even for people who mock reasoned discourse or make no good faith attempt at it. I also disagree if he means to say that his moral conclusions hold even for contexts in which there is no reasoned discourse. When atheists publicly joked about raping an atheist teenager on her own reddit thread, those guys are fuckwads and I have every moral right to say so. Publicly. And so on for anything else like that when appropriate. As a general rule, if you are going to be a douchebag, I'm going to call you a douchebag, and be happy when others do, too. There is nothing immoral about that. To the contrary, this is the only way most moral folk can stay sane.
Maybe that makes me the bad boy of atheism. So be it. But I don't think I'm at all alone in this.
Are any of the following statements immoral? Or are they appropriate statements of moral outrage? You decide…
These Christian assholes who claim moral superiority to the rest of the world and especially to atheists get so upset when someone questions their religious beliefs in public that they freak out and threaten to kill them.
[Atheism+] really isn't a movement about exclusion, but about recognizing the impact of the real nature of the universe on human affairs. And if you don't agree with any of that — and this is the only 'divisive' part — then you're an asshole. I suggest you form your own label, "Asshole Atheists" and own it, proudly.
I don't want to have to clean misogynists and accommodationist fuckwads out of my comments section, then listen to them whine about how oppressed they are because I won't let them shit on my carpet. I don't want to spend time forwarding rape and death threats to the police. But I refuse to stay silent.
I can't tell you how many humanists I've talked with who have been total douchebags about feminism: insisting that humanism is superior to and more important than feminism, that feminism is exclusionary and anti-male, that they "don't see gender" and anyone who does is the real sexist, and that the best way to make sexism disappear is to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist
If your server gave you good service, regardless of other issues you might have with the restaurant, not tipping them or tipping them poorly is not screwing the restaurant. You are screwing them, and you're a douchebag. Oh, and if you are one of those self-righteous, uber-Christians who leaves a folded tract that looks like a ten or twenty-dollar bill instead of actual legal tender, well…You're A Double Douchebag…
[A] dummy with an Obama mask was hung from a gallows on the front lawn of a church. – Oh, it's Pastor Terry Jones and the Dove World Outreach Center again. This douchebag is apparently starving for more attention now that his latest Koran burning has blown over in the media. What a dick.
And then there is Another Douchebag: Marty Klein. And, of course, the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
There is a difference between wanting to maintain a particular style or tenor of discourse in a specific venue, and claiming that any people expressing moral outrage with applicable epithets are behaving immorally. They just aren't. At most you can accuse them of being mean. But sometimes, in some contexts, being mean is the right thing to do.
And that is an example of a reasonable disagreement that makes no difference to whether you are sincerely on board with the values of Atheism+. Because siding with Atheism+ only requires that you are willing to repudiate sexism, racism, and homophobia (and other correlated bigotries), and endorse the values of reasonableness, compassion, and integrity. In my book, it is that, and that alone, that decides whether you are with us, or against us.

Despite her frequent identification as a "folk singer," Ani DiFranco has culled from an eclectic songbook on more than 20 albums. Perhaps grounded in folk, two decades into her career, DiFranco's expansive catalog has been peppered with soul, funk, jazz, electronic music, spoken word and more. Along the way, she's crossed paths with the likes of Chuck D., Dr. John, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen and many more, while espousing "to use her voice and her guitar as honestly and unflinchingly as she could."
Ani DiFranco's current tour, in support of her latest ¿Which Side Are You On?, included a stop in Cleveland, where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame caught up with her to learn more about what's inspired and influenced DiFranco over the last 20-plus years.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: What was the first record/CD you ever bought and do you still listen to it?
Ani Difranco: The first records I ever bought were cassette tapes. I remember driving across the country with a mere handful of them, which I listened to repeatedly. I had a Robert Johnson recording, I had Bob Dylan's Oh Mercy, I had Prince's Purple Rain, several Joan Armatrading albums... that's about all I can remember.
RRHOF: What artists did you listen to when you were growing up and what about them appealed to you?
AD: I listened to a lot of Joan Armatrading actually, and people like Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, and a whole slew of folk singers that I knew or was coming to know such as Greg Brown, Utah Phillips, Michael Meldrum, and John Gorka. Those were probably my earliest influences. [pictured: Ani DiFranco guitar, part of the Museum's collection of instruments]
RRHOF: What do you remember about playing your first gig – how old were you, where was it, when was it, how'd it go, the crowd?
AD: I was playing gigs when I was 9 years old (1979-1980), and it's hard to say which is the actual first. I do remember my 11th birthday, which I spent on stage participating in a "Save the whales and dolphins" benefit concert in Buffalo. I remember that one particularly because the other performers brought a birthday cake out on stage for me. Michael Meldrum and Rosalie Sorrels were both playing that night.
RRHOF: Which album of yours would you say is your favorite and why?
AD: I guess my favorite of my records is the last one I released, ¿Which Side Are You On?, because I made it at home with my husband. I like the way he records my voice and guitar and his production skills have uplifted my album making. Before him, I think I hit a good album groove around the time of Not a Pretty Girl, Dilate, and Little Plastic Castle.
RRHOF: How would you describe your music to somebody who'd never heard it before? What song would you tell them to listen to first and why?
AD: I've never really known what label to attach to my music. Many have come and gone, such as "punk folk." I usually say to cab drivers or whoever is asking that I play music with a story. I have written many hundreds of songs, so it's kind of impossible to say what one defines me best.
RRHOF: Do you have a favorite concert? One by someone else? And one by you?
AD: I've seen a lot of great shows, and I can't necessarily pick a favorite, but most recently my mind was blown by the great organist Dr. Lonnie Smith. I also have no favorite show of my own. Having played thousands of shows, it's all kind of a blur.

One of the most beautiful things about writing for this magazine is finding someone who's really passionate about their work. "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life," said Confucius.
That is Roxy Marj's life. She likes to draw, paint, sew and share her designs and inspirations with everyone. Graduated from Parsons School of Design with a degree in Fashion in 2009, Roxy spends her life working on illustrations and creating new ideas to share with people.
She designs clothing, cute pillows for kids, fabric envelopes, and apartment accessories. Her first passion is illustration, but she adores everything that involves design.
We talked to Roxy, and she was very sweet by sharing a little bit of her story with us:
When (and why) did you start designing your own products?
"I officially started designing clothing and accessories when I co/owned a vintage-retro clothing shop in downtown Provo on Center Street back in 1999! I mostly made bags and jewelry but also appliqued and painted designs around the hems, sleeves & collars of vintage coats. Nothing ground breaking, but having an actual physical shop to sell my pieces was pretty sweet... and people were actually buying things I was making, so that was reason enough to keep on going."
Butterfly Brooch - $24
Did you always love design and art?
"I have always loved making and creating things. I had a mother who was very creative and I think a lot of that came from having seven kids and not a lot of money. So I learned many things from her. She also sewed a lot of our clothes and I had taken an interest in that just from watching her, so she put me in sewing lessons when I was 10. I made quite a few outfits and entered them in the county fair and received blue and red ribbons, which equaled money. I knew from then on that I wanted to become a clothing designer, but I wasn't aware of the term fashion designer then. However, with that said my childhood wasn't always rainbows and lollipops. Life at home was really contentious actually. I now know, looking back, that art was my main outlet. I was always getting lost in the things I was making, be it: crafting, painting, sewing, drawing... This would block out the bad things going on and actually helped me lead a somewhat normal and happy life of my own."
When did your passion for illustration appear?
"Until my sophomore year of school at Parsons, I had wanted to be a fashion designer. Then all of a sudden, things did a 180. Parsons still teaches you how to design clothes using gouache, where most schools let you use markers or colored pencils. I had never used gouache before and was instantly in love. My fashion illustrations soon turned into stories and my classmates would often comment during critique that 'there was too much illustration going on.' And from that I knew I was in the wrong department. I could have transferred, but I actually dropped out of high school when I was 17 and so I made a decision that I needed to finish with fashion, and that if I still wanted to do illustration, then I could pursue a masters in that later on. Luckily, I didn't wait till after school to pursue illustration. I just started making and selling things outside of school and fredflare.com was so nice and started giving me little freelance jobs here and there. It wasn't until I finally graduated that I realized I wanted to combine both fashion and illustration."
Home Cozy Home Pillow - $30
What makes your products so unique?
"I think what makes my products unique is the fact that I hand paint everything. This automatically creates an imperfection and one of a kind item. I also have a huge children's book [mostly vintage] collection where I grab 50% of my inspiration from and I can definitely see that in my work. I am always trying to create a child-like sensibility in my work, yet make it sophisticated and timeless. Every product is meticulously designed... I first think to myself 'Is this something that will still look interesting in 10 or 20 years?' If not, then there's no point in making it."
What kind of accessories do you design?
"As of right now, my envelopes and brooch's are my only accessories. But, in a month or less, I will have three new accessory items to add to my shop that I am so excited about. So check back soon."
Envelope Clutch - $28

Welcome to the PokeDream Johto Gym League!
We'll have eight gym leaders, and they can be challenged by anyone at any time to earn their badge. Outsiders can try to get the badge of the person in question and we'll see who can rack up the most badges! All Gym Leaders must be literate, reasonable at Pokémon and ready to be an active part of this.
You must use Pokémon that this person would reasonably have access to. Certain trainers will be allowed the Pokémon that they use in Stadium 2, but only if their type is extremely limited. Post in this topic if you aren't too sure. Additionally, all Gym Leaders must have ONE signature Pokemon that they use in all battles.
Sign up to be a gym leader and once we have enough, sign up to be a challenger! All battles will take place on Shoddy Battle; however, you must use three consistent Pokémon throughout all your matches with the gym leaders!
Now, please note, if you manage to beat ALL the gym leaders, then you can take one of their places!
Also, there are to be no ubers! The following Pokémon are to be categorized as uber by us: Wobbufett, Shaymin-S, Palkia, Dialga, Manaphy, Mew, Rayquaza, Wobbufett, Wynaut, Kyogre, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Girtatine, Giratina-O, Groudon, Garchomp, Deoxys (all formes), Darkrai, Arceus, Latios.
The Smogon server is awfully laggy - I recommend that all matches take place on the Gary Oak's Battle Frontier server, although this does not have to be the case! It will just be an unofficial server of sorts.

Some rules:
- If you are inactive for a month, your gym is vacated and somebody else is free to take over!
- You MUST take three consistent 'signature' Pokémon into ALL gym battles. From there, you have three interchangeable slots. For example, you can select Raikou, Dragonite and Seviper as your consistents. Thus, you could have a team of Raikou, Dragonite, Seviper, Altaria, Salamence and Venusaur in your battle with Morty and Raikou, Dragonite, Seviper, Lucario, Infernape and Roserade in your battle with Falkner. However, you must have three consistents.
- If you want to become a gym leader and all the places are full, either wait for an active member to surpass a month of inactivity or challenge all the leaders and take over a gym.
- The gyms are not mono-type, but keep within the flavour of your gym! Be sensible, fundamentally. For example, Dragon-type trainers often use Aerodactly, Gyarados and other 'pseudo-dragons'. You are free to do this also!
- If you're a challenger and you manage to beat the gym leaders, you become a Cooltrainer. This means you can either usurp a gym position, or CHALLENGE the Elite Four.
- If you are a gym leader with MORE THAN 30 WINS, you can become a member of the elite four.

I love retro and classic candy. I was a really big history nerd back in High School, so of course any sort of candy that has a long standing tradition or story behind it would make my little heart go pitter-patter. Sadly, most of these types of candies are very hard to find. Some are only carried by the most out of the way stores, while others can only be found in certain regions of the country. Still, that doesn't keep me from scheming of hunting them all down and trying them.
Atkinson's Coconut Long Boys are one of those classic candies I've always heard about but never actually saw for sale. It was only when I was in downtown Burbank did I finally locate them. It was a well stocked candy shop where they had these tucked into a bulk bin. Trying to hide my extreme delight from the cashier, I didn't want to scare her, I bought a handful to try once I got home.
So what is a Coconut Long Boy? Well, they're caramels that are shaped into long cylinders. They come wrapped in brightly colored wax paper that reminds me of ketchup and mustard. These Coconut Long Boys have family too, as there's chocolate and junior varieties available too. I sadly didn't find these at said store, they must have been separated at birth.
The Long Boys look like any typical light colored caramel. The texture is pleasant: thankfully they're not sticky in the mouth, even thought it did stick to the wrapper a little. They're chewy similar to Sugar Babies where chew is long, firm and grainy. You can taste and feel the flakes of the coconut too, which is a nice touch. It's a nice sweet coconut flavor, not artificial at all and it's not overly sweet. As for the caramel flavor, it's certainly creamy but it doesn't have the burnt sugar or cream notes I'm used to. It's all overshadowed by the coconut.
That being said, they're really tasty. I enjoyed them a lot and I understand much better why these have stayed on the candy scene for so long.

7 Hair Accessories That Work After 30
Yes, you can wear hair accessories beyond your hopscotch days. We'll show you how to pull off these super trendy hairstyles without looking like your niece
Boy, have things changed.
Hair accessories aren't just for kindergartners or the JV cheerleading squad anymore. In fact, Tina Dizon, owner of Beverly Hills salon The Private Room, says accessories are having a huge moment, showing up everywhere from runways to the red carpet, with leggy models sporting barrettes and A-list stars wearing headbands to the Oscars.
Skip ahead to see the 7 best hair accessories you can wear after you turn 30.
But when you're past your pompom days and not a celeb or a sunken-cheeked model, can you wear hair accessories without looking like Shirley Temple?
The key is to wear the right hair accessory with the right hairstyle. While a rhinestone-studded tiara may not be in your accessorizing future, a pretty, statement-piece barrette can make the two-minute ponytail you created in your car look chic and put-together. "Scarves, bows, and ribbons are about adding texture to the hair to give the eye something to look at," says Dizon.
Which will keep you -- and everyone who looks at you -- from getting bored by your hair. "Whether women wear it long or short, they often don't know what to do with it. Hair accessories can change up your look without you having to make a drastic change."
Need some inspiration -- but don�t have the time to get sucked into Pinterest? We did the dirty work for you. Take a look at these gorgeous Pinterest photos of the best hair accessories to wear when you're over the age of 30. And don't worry, there's no flower picking required.

New owner, and my first post. I look forward to meeting (online) many of you.
Just purchased my 42WLA civilian police bike and it starts up and runs good but the red oil light is on (as well as green Gen light). I disconnected the wire at the oil pressure switch and the red light goes out.
I really don't want to run the bike if there is a real oil pressure issue. I have read that the repo switches require much more pressure than the originals or NOS and I am trying to locate one now to replace the one I have as the next step.
Any words of wisdom? Any way to tell if oil is flowing? I ran the bike for a minute and I really couldn't tell the difference in the temp of the oil line coming from the engine to the tank.
By the way I an in new England where is is around 35 Degrees right now and the oil in the bike looks real think like straight 50.

The sheer diversity of talent at the Bonnaroo festivals created unique opportunities for one-time parings. Phish, no strangers to the festival scene, understood these opportunities better than anyone. They invited Bruce Springsteen, who had headlined the night before, to join them, unannounced, for several songs. The bridging of musical styles and generations was the perfect embodiment of the Bonnaroo vibe.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience on Friday, April 25, 2014. The exhibition will be an engaging look at the music festival as more than just an outdoor concert, but as a community experience. Whether it's forging human bonds, building a sense of community, providing broad exposure for musical artists or as one of the most important economic engines of the music industry, the story of the music festival is inextricably linked with music's powerful cultural impact around the globe. Visit Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience to immerse yourself in this story.

Every new season I get excited for new fashion trends. Big shoulders, harem pants, spectator shoes, fringe, perforated, winter florals, summer florals, and on and on. Sometimes I call my love of shopping an occupational hazard, and let's face it, there are far more dangerous occupations and the hazards that go with them. And so I shop, but like all of you, I don't always get it just right. Last Spring I bought a neon pink mini dress. I know, I KNOW. Hear me out. Neon was having a major moment on the runway (thanks to Michael Kors and many others), and it looked fun and energetic and fresh. Which brings me to the aforementioned mini dress. Which I never wore. Ever. In fact, I recently found it in the bowels of my closet, tags dangling. My point, and I do have one, is that you've got to know how to try a trend. Neon pink mini dress? WHAT was I thinking? I'm too old for such a style OR a color, and where on EARTH was I going in that? How best to work in a new trend that you're not quite sure you can pull off? An accessory. That neon pink color, in a skinny leather belt, would have been delish (cinching a black tunic over skinny khakis). It would also be yummy in a nylon clutch (Saturday night, dinner and a movie, boyfriend jeans and a sweater). OK, I'm glad we had this talk. Perhaps there are more occupational hazards in fashion than I thought.

Input to the Compilation Document of the
United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20)
October 31, 2011
Contribution of the GEF to the Rio+20 Compilation Document 1. 1992 UNCED Original Agenda and the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD) Background The community of nations came to Rio in 1992 with the conviction that the environment was inextricably linked to development. Rio concluded that urgent action was needed at the planetary scale to address the rapid and widespread loss of biological diversity, the rising threats posed by human-induced climate change, and increased insecurity faced by hundreds of millions of people due to land degradation and desertification.
By addressing priority global environmental concerns, the three Rio Conventions irrevocably introduced the development agenda to its third pillar, bringing it together with the social and economic agendas, under the banner of sustainable development.
This agenda remains as current today as it was 20 years ago, and much has been achieved since Rio. However, the original framework from the 1992 UNCED became progressively fragmented by virtue of the separate routes taken by the Rio accords. 20 years later, we have come to realize that biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable land management are integral parts of the same puzzle. Proposed Text for the Outcomes Document The challenges facing our planet have aggravated over the past two decades. Three of nine interlinked planetary boundaries vital for human well-being have been transgressed, and several others are on an unsustainable path. The solutions, however, are intertwined. The IFSD should be discussed at Rio+20 through the lens of the need to promote the re-integration of the building blocks of the green economy into a coherent, mutually-reinforcing and efficient framework. Experience has shown that while progress can be made via thematically-based international accords, the multi-faceted nature of the threats to planet?s life support systems requires more concerted and integrated efforts. Rio+20 should take this premise as a central tenet of its deliberations. 2. Financing of the Global Public Goods and the Global Environment Facility Background While challenges have grown, it should be recognized that much has been achieved since Rio. In its capacity as a financial mechanism of the three Rio Conventions, $10 billion has been invested by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) alone, with $40 billion mobilized in co-financing. Through this investment, 2,600 projects in more than 165 countries were implemented aimed at the management, care, and restoration of our planet. These investments can now be felt throughout the developing world, and have laid the seeds for green economies to begin flourishing.
To date, the GEF remains the largest financial mechanism (for grant and non-grant instruments) supporting the Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. The GEF also provides operational guidance and funding for international waters and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The GEF also operates two funds on behalf of the UNFCCC ? the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) and the Least Development Country Fund (LDCF) -- that together provided $ 420 million in grants to support developing countries in efforts to reduce vulnerability to climate change in the context of their national development. An inclusive governance structure of recipient and non-recipient countries has allowed the GEF to shape policies and programming in response to its recipient and donor countries, and to remain current. The GEF has evolved over the past 20 years by continuously building efficiency in the administrative, technical and financial processes required for enabling significant resources to reach developing countries and those with economies in transition. For example, responding to new opportunities, the GEF has become the secretariat to the Adaptation Fund, and more recently established a new fund ? the Nagoya Protocol Implementation Fund (NPIF) to pilot the implementation of the Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) arising from the utilization of genetic resources. Recognizing the need to build synergies amongst its different funding lines, the GEF has inaugurated an ambitious $1 billion funding program exploring the mutually reinforcing links between global benefits provided by forests to climate change mitigation, biodiversity and sustainable land management.
In this regard, the GEF has demonstrated flexibility in taking on board new challenges and modalities, while preserving the coherence of a unified financial mechanism. The GEF has also continuously evolved in response to scientific findings, including those emerging from global analyses financed by the GEF itself, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the International Assessment of Agriculture Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development. Two decades of experience as the prime financial mechanism dedicated to the protection of the global public goods has put to the test a pioneer governance framework, a unique set of institutional arrangements and the thematic mission of the GEF. This platform needs to be reinforced so as to face the growing challenges to the adequate stewardship of the global public goods. Proposed Text for the Outcomes Document As a financial mechanism, the GEF should remain a significant global funder of environmental projects in developing countries, by using the strengths of both the UN system and the Bretton Woods institutions, while also striving to foster greater ownership by recipient nations. The GEF should continue operating as a network that allows the use of the expertise and capacities residing in the multilateral development banks and the UN agencies, anchored on a broad set of competencies unmatched by other financial mechanisms, including the ability to move growing sums of money. In parallel, the GEF should continue to be a pioneer and leader in providing direct access to national agencies with high fiduciary standards, thereby devolving responsibility and ownership of projects to developing countries. 3. Fragmentation of the International Finance Architecture and the Way Forward Background The establishment of an array of multilateral environment agreements, soft law commitments and national policies, without due consideration to one another or to the broader international system, has resulted in an unbalanced and convoluted international architecture that lacks consistency and a clear logic.
This in turn has led to international environmental responsibilities being spread across many institutions with diluted, overlapping or, in many cases, with mandates at variance with one another. What is worse is that no single organization has the political authority or the expertise to exert political influence or to serve as a center of gravity for technical issues. Coupled with this fragmentation is the collection of independent secretariats to the numerous treaties and multilateral environmental agreements that are narrow in scope, and in many cases, based along issues and/or geographic areas. The proliferation of these agreements and treaties has placed an increasing burden on member states and Parties to meet their collective obligations and responsibilities in relation to the environment. The problem lies, firstly, in the weakness of institutions and their inability to implement the ambitious agenda of Rio and, secondly, in the lack of integration among the three pillars of sustainable development.
Trailing right behind this process, the international financial landscape now consists of a plethora of funds that were established with laudable objectives and that accumulated a wealth of experience -- but that now limp along with insufficient funding vis a vis the global sustainable development challenges. Currently, each fund has its own rules, befuddling low-capacity countries already struggling to assemble viable financial assistance packages. Introducing common norms would speak directly to the principles of the internationally-acclaimed Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness with all the funds aimed towards achieving the common good. The multiplication of funds ultimately penalizes the developing countries themselves as they strain their capacities to capture international funding, in addition to stimulating the emergence of perpetually anemic funding mechanisms. Fragmentation also increases capacity building needs of developing countries exponentially. We need to work on the opposite direction. The international community therefore has to deal with the current chaos and under-resourcing of the global environment finance system. Proposed Text for the Outcomes Document
The Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, together with its related processes, needs to be made operational by the donor community, with the full support and engagement of recipient countries. Existing funds need strengthening, regularity in funding flows, and reform of their governance processes towards more transparent and democratic systems. New and additional funding lines should flow through existing and strengthened mechanisms. Existing mechanisms must pay renewed attention to the real needs of recipient countries. 4. Building Blocks for a Green Economy: The Lessons from the GEF Background The investment by the GEF and its partners over the past 20 years produced impressive returns, such as 734 million hectares of new and improved land and oceans dedicated to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of biological resources, and the catalytic transfer of 30 climate-friendly technologies for energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable urban transport, and methane reduction, among other benefits. In this process, projects have mobilized additional investments, created enabling environments, pioneered innovative financial instruments, and promoted market-based mechanisms, leading to widespread adoption and dissemination of climate-friendly technologies. Collectively, this wealth of experience lays the foundation and the tools with which to push for the emergence of green economies. Proposed Text for the Outcomes Document
It is critical to harvest the experiences gained by the GEF and other actors in sowing the seeds of the green economies through their support for activities over the last two decades. The fruits of these experiences need to be broadcast and upscaled throughout the world, along with the dissemination of supporting political, institutional and investment environments to initiate the shift towards green economies. 5. Suggestions for the Structure of the Document The Rio+20 outcome document could convey three key messages: (1) Rationale for a green economy in the context of sustainable development and constraints, and opportunities for achieving such an ambitious goal with a central link to poverty eradication; (2) The international community?s resolve to moving towards enhanced institutional frameworks for sustainable development and a green economy; and (3) some reasonable approaches or way forward on the issue of financing and the institutional approaches to it. Proposed text for the suggestions on the structure of the Rio+20 Document
The introductory part of the document should clarify the notion of green economy, its linkages with sustainable development and articulate why the green economy will help to eradicate poverty, open opportunities for economic Growth, development and prosperity.
Progress made and remaining challenges should be highlighted, vis a vis key the objectives set out in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. Focus should be placed on the themes that are most relevant in the context of the objectives of Rio+20 (e.g. the Green Economy and the IFSD). This aspect is important to maintain some form of continuity in the international community?s approach to sustainable development over the years. Possible elements of an agreement on a green economy and poverty eradication can be included. Concrete and specific actions recommended on how to improve the institutional approaches at global, regional and national levels should be highlighted as well as specific means of implementation.

I loved this movie and the castle design. I actually felt a little sorry when the curse was lifted and the castle went from its dark Gothic look to an Ivory Tower-esque appearance.

Crimping pliers which have little notches to allow you to both flatten a crimp bead and then bend it to form a rounded finished look instead of the flat crimp you pandora uk get using the chain-nose pliers. As for materials, I recommend some assortment packs of beads in coordinating colors, some decorative metal spacers, seed beads in both silver and gold These can serve as spacers and beautifully set off pandora sale your other beads., tube-shaped crimp beads Buy the best you can find – these are what hold it all together!, head and eye pins.
