Dedicated to Excellence
1550 E. Chandler Heights Rd. | Chandler, AZ 85249 Google Map
Originally from Michigan, my family and I moved to Arizona in the summer of 2011. We are happy to spend less time shoveling snow and more time hiking, biking and swimming!
The 2014-2015 school year marks my fourth year at SJHS...my 16th year teaching overall. I started my career in Tempe teaching 4th grade at Caminati Elementary and then taught middle school in Ferndale, Michigan for 10 years.
While at Ferndale Middle School I coached track and cross country, advised the yearbook and newpaper, served on the School Improvement Team and was the Mathematics Department Chair. I look forward to continuing my particaption as a leader and currently serve as our Team 8B Lead.
I graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in Elementary Education and from Oakland University with a MA in Reading and Language Arts. I am certifed to teach both Language Arts and Mathematics at the junior high level. Go Green! Go White!
At home, our three daughters keep my husband and I very busy! As a family, we enjoy outdoor adventures, traveling with our relatives and family game nights. When I have the luxury of free time, you'll find me reading, running, cooking or baking.
I am proud to be a part of the SJHS family and look forward to making this year a great success!

The IMechE Railway Challenge brings together teams of university students, as well as apprentices and graduates working in industry across the UK to test their business knowledge, design ability and technical skills in a live test environment.
They are required to design and manufacture a miniature (10¼" gauge) railway locomotive in accordance with a set of rules and a technical specification. At the end of each academic year, a competition weekend takes place where the teams compete against each other to test their locomotive designs and determine a winner.
The competition is organised by the Railway Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Our video below gives you a flavour of what the challenge involves.
For the purpose of the Railway Challenge competition, teams will assume that they work for a design consultancy producing a locomotive for a large corporation. They will design and manufacture the prototype of this locomotive and they will then test this against prototypes manufactured by the other teams. The challenges are as follows:
Full details are given in the Railway Challenge Rules and Technical Specification available for download from the team guidance section of this site.
To enter a team for the 2017 Railway Challenge please complete the Railway Challenge booking form 2017 and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday 16 December 2016. Download the Railway Challenge booking form here.
Confirmation of entry: Teams will be notified if their entry has been accepted within one week of submitting their application. Please note that the competition can only accommodate 10 teams and places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
Costs: The cost for taking part in the Railway Challenge is £350 + VAT (for up to 10 team members plus a supervisor). Additional team members will be charged £35 + VAT (up to a maximum of 10 additional members). Payment needs to be submitted along with the booking form.
The Railway Challenge will provide teams of young engineers with experience of design and manufacture of a prototype vehicle. A structured environment will be provided with academic and industry mentors and a fairly risk free but representative environment in which to develop key engineering skills.
The final judging and assessment is carried out at Stapleford Miniature Railway in Leicestershire. The 2016 competition weekend will be from 2 to 3 July, with spectators able to attend on either the Saturday or Sunday free of charge. Sunday is probably the best spectator day as the locos will have passed scrutineering by then and be competing against one another. It is free for spectators to come along to watch on both days. Please email Katherine Phipps, Project Manager for the Railway Challenge, to reserve your place.
Download our information for spectators.
If you have any queries regarding the Railway Challenge please email the rules committee at email@example.com.

February 24- March 2, 2014 the moon will be new in Pisces. There is an otherworldly pace to life under this moon's influence. Magical things occur- lucky breaks, being in the right place at the right time. It is energy like this that proves to us that we are not alone- however confounding that might be to the atheists of the world.
This week starts off with a lets get this done Capricorn moon. Yay! lets get things done. It's important, when under the influence of Pisces, to be ready to jump to action when energy does arrive. You can get so used to lazing about that you miss opportunities. Monday has the right mix of planetary energy to lift you up and move you forward. It feels good, productive.
Tuesday PST enthusiastic Jupiter in Cancer is being agitated by the bold and sort of thoughtless energy of Uranus in Aries. Part of you wants to forge ahead, tackle new ground, shout your crazy new ideas from the roof tops, another part of you wants to cozy up in your ideal home office and delegate activities to others while you sip tea and never get out of your pajamas. What to do? This is the dilemma of the aspect called the square in Astrology, the energies never find a way to understand each other yet great growth is forced from the attempt. Most successful people have prominent squares in their personal charts.
By Fridays New moon in Pisces you will feel the energy significantly shift. Mercury finally goes direct after three weeks of mischief and trouble making. I personally had many minor computer annoyances and general delays. Luckily when you expect this sort of thing its really barely a bother. But now that Mercury is heading forward again life should move along smoothly in the communications department. Our thoughts are less fuzzy, more forward.
This day of the New Moon, do focus on your intentions, on your wishes. Get clear about the essence of what you want to create in your life, dreamy ideals are possible now. Long cherished goals or dreams can come true. So prepare for some magical dreamy lovely wonderful moments of splendid luck and fantastic opportunity. Prepare yourself by expecting the best. If you expect the best to happen it did! Connect your goals with helping others, the planet or animals. What you give out comes back to you-so send out Love-send out understanding and forgiveness, send out your heartfelt belief that dreams really do come true,and send out heaps of gratitude too.
The week ends with responsible Saturn and go-getter Mars going retrograde. The breaks are on. Slow things down for review. This is not the best time to start business ventures. Look for more on this in next weeks post. This week focus all your energy on the mystical Pisces new moon. Initiate something. Write down your preferences and take the time to visualize the outcome until you can feel it there in your world. Here's to a magical life! May your world glow with Love and Light!

For years Dwayne Johnson has been circling a role in Warner Bros. developing movie based on the DC Comics hero Captain Marvel, aka Shazam. But only recently as the project has actually begun to come together has Johnson been making the rounds teasing his role, stating that he had the power to choose which character he would actually play. Would he choose the heroic Shazam, or the villainous Black Adam as was originally intended? Well Johnson has quit teasing and finally revealed his choice, via Twitter of course, and he'll be sporting all black for this one.
"Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot." My honor to become.. #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics
The character Black Adam was originally known as Teth-Adam and was the ancient Egyptian predecessor to Captain Marvel. But Adam became corrupted and turned "evil", but maintained the similar ability to transform into a super powerful being by uttering the word "Shazam". Lately he's been depicted as more of an antihero than a true villain, and with Johnson in the role that will probably end up the case on screen, as well.
While there is still no director or a star to take on the Captain Marvel role, the film has a writer in Darren Lemke, who wrote Jack the Giant Slayer. The problem is going to be finding a co-star big enough to believably stand opposite Johnson, both physically and in terms of star power. Shazam is expected to open in 2016.

moules à la marinière

Moules à la Marinière
Fresh Mussels Steamed open in Wine and Flavorings
Recipe from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking
2 cups light, dry white win or 1 cup dry white vermouth
An 8- to 10-quart enameled kettle with cover, though I've made this in many other pots successfully
1/2 cup minced shallots, or green onions, or very finely minced onions
8 parsley sprigs
1/2 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons butter
6 quarts scrubbed, soaked mussels
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
Bring all but the last two ingredients to boil in the kettle. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes to evaporate its alcohol and to reduce its volume slightly.
Add the mussels to the kettle. Cover tightly and boil quickly over high heat. Frequently grasp the kettle with both hands, your thumbs clamped to the cover, and toss the mussels in the kettle and an up and down slightly jerky motion so the mussels will change levels and cook evenly. In about 5 minutes, the shells will swing open and the mussels are done.
With a big skimmer, dip the mussels into wide soup plates. Allow the cooking liquid to settle for a moment so any sand will sink to the bottom. Then ladle the liquid over the mussels, sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
Baked Pommes Frites
Adapted from Michael Chiarello
6 russet potatoes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil*
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes (if peeled fries are your thing, skip it if you couldn't care) and cut into half-inch thick slices (lengthwise) cut again into 1/2-inch thick fries. Place the potatoes into a pot with cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring up to a gentle boil and simmer until a paring knife tip goes through easily, cooked about 3/4 of the way through.
Drain carefully and put potatoes a bowl. Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and lay out in 1 layer on baking sheet. Bake until light brown.
* I used less this time, oiling the baking sheet first to limit sticking. He suggests you use a non-stick baking sheet if you have one. (I don't.)

"Glee" star Lea Michele loves her super-fit body, which is due to a healthy diet and regular workouts.
"I'm very comfortable with my own body," Michele told Seventeen March 4. "I come from Broadway. Everybody's naked on Broadway."
Lea, who used to follow a vegan diet, is toned and tight, thanks to hiking, yoga and grueling dance workouts. She said being fit and active has helped her feel less inhibited about her body.
"I like to think of myself as more granola," Michele said. "I'm not going to run around naked or anything like that unless I'm at my own home. Today, I walked into my backyard and was standing out there naked for a while."
The 5-foot-2 Lea has been vegetarian and vegan on and off for years, but always makes a point to eat healthy.
"I go back and forth between [being a vegan and not being a vegan]," said Michele, who detailed her diet and workout secrets in her memoir, Brunette Ambition. "I try lots of different things. I really feel that you need to kind of listen to your body and what your body is telling you to eat. So I was a vegan for about two years."
Lea, who dated her "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith before his untimely death (of a drug overdose) in July 2013, said the past year has been extremely hard, but she has nothing but fond memories.
"I only have happy memories of Cory," said Michele. "He was not his addiction. Unfortunately, it won. But that wasn't who he was. Cory made me feel like a queen every day. From the minute he said, 'I'm your boyfriend,' I loved every day, and I thank him for being the best boyfriend and making me feel so beautiful."
"Glee" will end after its sixth season, but Lea is excited about pursuing other projects, including music. Lea just released her new album, Louder, an 11-track compilation showcasing her incredible voice.
" 'Louder' has songs that express extreme love and some pain," said Michele. "I look at it and think, 'That was my year.' I didn't record any songs that I didn't completely relate to."

I have never heard as much BS surrounding something as all of the "global warming" hooplah. It's one thing to encourage people to conserve energy, it's quite another to make up a bunch of BS about a non-event.
I say follow the money and, at the end of the road, you will find someone making a ton of money off the whole thing. It's been pretty well documented that Al Gore is making money off of it, while ignoring his own recommendations. I wonder who all else is making a fortune from other people's gullibilities?

Until its 80F year round, I don't believe in global warming. The other morning it was 10F when I left the house...
An extra candle would add some warmth to my wood stove up here. I guess I really shouldn't burn wood before purchasing green credits from His Majasty, King Al; but, it's cheaper than oil, and renewable. What is Al's degree in anyway? Spinology or making a billion on common folks.

Bad Golf has exaggerated gameplay and mischievous antics, but maintains a realistic look over ""zany"" fantasy golf games.

Comedy and high quality laughs don't have to be broad and clunky, they can be smart and sneak right up on you. "Alan Partridge" takes a long standing fictional character and presents him in his big screen debut for the kind of sly laughs that fans of British comedy will truly appreciate.
"Alan Partridge" finds Alan (Steve Coogan) at the center of a siege, when a disgruntled fellow DJ (Colm Meaney) decides to hold their station hostage after learning that he's getting sacked by the new management, a large media conglomerate.
Resurrecting an old character from their radio and TV days, star Steve Coogan and writer/producer Armando Iannucci's "Alan Partridge" is some subtle and very British dead pan comedy that will leave you rolling in the aisles, despite liberally borrowing from films that came before it. Director Declan Lowney is a TV veteran and he assembles a solid film that while unspectacular at times, gets us from A to B in an efficient fashion and unfurls the narrative, getting to the meat of it all as quickly as possible.
The script has five different cooks in the kitchen including Iannucci and Coogan and it has a tendency to drift a little at times while borrowing from 1994's "Airheads" pretty liberally. However, it still works as we see Partridge, our charming yet still kind of unlikeable hero navigate his way through this crisis for his own survival. It's subtler then a film with wall to wall laughs but still has some genuine emotion and when the hilarity hits, it nails the target dead on with comedy ranging from cringe worthy to full on satire as we laugh, groan, smile and shake our face whenever the scenario calls for it.
Coogan has a mastery of dead pan humor and timing that is simply brilliant as he inhabits the self involved "Alan Partridge". We believe in his ego driven adventures as his friends and co-workers are held at gun point and he gets lost on the carousel of fame as the media attention goes to his head and Coogan simply makes it a hilarious ride. A role like this only works when you play it 100% straight, and Coogan sells it with some brilliant deadpan delusion that we believe from minute one. Colm Meaney does well as his disgruntled co-worker who just wants things to go back to the way that they were and while the ensemble does have a few familiar faces, it's Coogan carries the film with his unique blend of hilarity and genuine emotional charisma.
Picture and sound quality on the Blu-Ray are solid and the special features include, a making of "Alan Partridge", a behind the scenes look and an AXS TV look at the film.
While "Alan Partridge" certainly skews to the across the pond comedic styling's, it works well enough to generate laughs that will work for all audiences.
4 out of 5 stars.
"Alan Partridge" is available on all major formats and platforms.

What do you look for when opening a new business? Available property? Check. Available workforce? Check. Proximity to tourism and a developing waterfront? Check. A locality with its own school system and police department for a desirable, livable community for employees? Check. A regional population starved for new services, stores and employment? Check. And now for the first time in many years, prospective businesses can also include an impressive array of tax incentives to locate their business in the Town of Colonial Beach.
A small waterfront town of just over 3,500 residents, located on the shores of the Potomac River, the Town of Colonial Beach has spent the last two

Editor's note: This is the second of a three-part series about a lost brother and a little sister's search and struggle to bring him home. Part one is available online at journalpress.com. The third installment will be featured in the May 11 edition of The Journal.
In 1962, long before Mickey Beard moved from Vienna to Colonial Beach, she was busy raising her family. The routine of school days and homework seemed to be front and foremost each day. But the nagging desire to bring her big brother, Staff Sgt. George Lewis "Rip" Winkler, World War II U.S. Army Air Corps veteran, home for a proper burial had never diminished.
Small things, like a bulldog statue, kept Rip's memory part of daily life for Mickey.

As part of an ongoing grant application to the Department of Housing and Community Development, Carol Rizzo and Bill Spivey of Land Studio, P.C. presented data on the current economic situation of Colonial Beach. The data was rich with details and paints a realistic picture of the town that will serve as a springboard to future economic development.
Richard Hunt of Peloton Research Partners spoke to the approximately 70-plus citizens, several members of council, school board members, planning commission members and town administrative staff. The presentation centered on economic development, which, according to Hunt, "is the sustainable increase in living standards and well being for a community's citizens" and "provides a resilient quality of life."

It takes a special person to run for public office. First of all, you must have the passion to serve and you must be in tune with the community's vision. You also really should have an outgoing personality, as representing the voting public demands a lot of public interaction. And you should hold strong ethics and the ability to work with others.
But every once in a while someone runs for office with a determined attitude to put things right, to effect positive change — to re-write a locality's future. Such was the case when one week before the 2008 May elections for Colonial Beach School Board, Tim Trivett decided to throw his hat into the ring and run for office.

It was a fight to the finish with three hours of exhibits, charts, summaries, witnesses examination and cross examination and lots of emotional posturing between Commonwealth's Attorney Dean Atkins representing Colonial Beach School Board and Mark Gardner, attorney for Barbara Worrell. Atkins and Gardner showcased experts in accounting and psychology as well as the current CB School Board Chairman, family members and friends of Worrell, each attempting to sway Judge Joseph Ellis' sentencing decision.

...the thing about momentum is that it can change easily. On the series after the stop on Owens, the offense had a problem.
Now, I listened to part of the radio broadcast, basically after the odd sequence of punts that came after *this* play, and Jim Mandich suggested Miami imploded, and their problems could all be traced to the punts. I actually think it can be traced one play back; to this one.
[image removed] Again with respect to FOX, the NFL, and the Dolphins, here's the play: Miami was in a 3rd and 2. They had three wide receivers and a tight end on the field. One wideout was split right (at the top), while everyone else was on the left.
I've approximated the routes they were supposed to run. The object was to get to the yard marker, and turn around. Green would find the open guy and get a first down.
[image removed]Dallas' rush started to collapse the pocket very early in the play, as it had done countless times throughout the game. Green's first target was the receiver on the right (circled). But, a couple of things to note: (1) the receiver hasn't turned around yet because the protection broke down early, and (2) Dallas' rush is overpowering that side of the field.
Green's decision to throw to that side was flawed because there were two defenders between him and the receiver, plus there's a linebacker reading Trent's eyes, and the db on the receiver. In essence, at this point, the play is doomed.
Trent throws the ball and #90 (arrow) sticks his hand up and deflects it. And thus endeth the drive.
This was an example of some poor play on the field, and I think it summed up what I saw that didn't work, and also gives an idea of what Trent was doing wrong.

Crowdfunding is already the next big thing for investors. With nearly 200 crowdfunding platforms in the United States alone and around 1000 globally, there is no shortage in places to test your idea today. According to Forbes on August 27, 2014, volume exceeded over $2.8 billion in 2012.
There are a ton of reasons why crowdfunding is so popular including the fact that it is a proven alternative to the traditional venture capital route, where 95 percent of business proposals are summarily dismissed.
Additional reasons for the rise of crowdfunding as the next big ting include both convenience and validation. It is relatively easy to launch a campaign and the amount of interest and donations let entrepreneurs know if their idea might fly. Crowdfunding can also reduce risk. Investors losses are limited to the amount donated and in the case of platforms like Kickstarter, their money is refunded if the funding goal is not reached by the deadline stated at the outset. You also get feedback during the campaign in the form of comments that allows you to tune and adjust things on the fly.
The most important reason to pursue crowdfunding as a means to test a business idea besides the obvious one to raise funds is marketing and branding. Whether you make your stated dollar goal or not in the time allotted, crowdfunding is an amazing marketing tool.
Through social media and articles both in print and online, you can spread you message to a large audience. Magazines, blogs and press releases are very powerful. Social networks like Facebook, Twitter and others have the potential to reach hundreds of millions of people around the world.
If you have a Kickstarter campaign or are planning to launch one, and are serious about promoting it via social media, you will hire a crowdfunding expert such as myself.
What do you think about crowdfunding as the next big thing? Please drop in your comments below.

I Had It Cut Off, Still Have It.I still have my old ponytail that was cut off, by a male hairdresser
who was actually reluctant to cut my waist length hair a few years ago.
I still have it, coz of the memories it remind me of.
I will never let any one go near my hair now though!

I have copied over my site from another server ( Folders containing the site ) and when i use them on my new server (2008) i get a login dialog when i try to access pages that have their aspx page located in a subfolder. If i use the login dialog and login with a valid account on that server, IIS will give me a 404 error ( File is physically there on my server).
My first thought was this was NTFS rights issue, but it does not seem to be the case. I have set owner to administrators group, and i have also tried giving the everyone group full control with the same result.

"This roadside rescue was right next door!" says Jenna from Rain on a Tin Roof. "It was an old, rusty, dirty metal cabinet my next door neighbor was tossing when she moved."
Little did the neighbor know that Jenna had spotted that metal cabinet in her garage long ago, and had been wishing for it ever since! It was the perfect solution for storing Jenna's craft supplies…it just needed an extraordinary amount of TLC first! She started the makeover with a good scrub down, then covered the cabinet with gray primer, to seal off all of the rust. Then, Jenna sprayed the cabinet with a bright, preppy blue, along with an accent stripe of kelly green around the doors. (Her favorite color combination!) Spraying the metal handles gold was the final touch, and now the cabinet has a new home in Jenna's basement craft room. Look at all of that beautiful storage!
Learn more about the clean up and painting process of this rescued metal cabinet at Rain on a Tin Roof.

Wind can be an unpredictable and unstable source of power, and high in the sky where it is more stable, it's difficult to exploit. Airborne wind turbines could provide a solution to this problem, but although the idea has been around since the 19th century, it's never been exploited on a larger scale. California's Makani Power aims to change that with its innovative flying wing turbine design. Wing 7 is essentially a cross between a UAV and a wind turbine that's tethered to a ground station from which it ascends to a height of around 1,300 feet (400m) and flies autonomously, generating up to 20-kilowatt of power in a 20mph (35km/h) wind.Read More

The Quirky community, a social project based around product development, has come up with another solution – it's the Ray solar charger, and it features a suction cup and a kickstand.Read More

Yogic Technique to Power and Cleanse Your Aura
Aura Cleansing Technique
Yoga for Powerful Aura
Clearing and developing the power of one's aura and magnetic field is an important aspect of yoga in general and is especially true in Kundalini Yoga. There are many wonderful exercises to accomplish this, such as Eagle Pose for Powerful Aura, which I have published previously, and the exercise in this article is another fundamental Kundalini Yoga exercise great for cleansing the aura and charging your magnetic field.
The Aura is a part of the 10 Bodies of Light Model, on which Yoga Numerology and Master Number Analysis is based, and it is the sum total of your nerve strength and bio-electric energy. It plays a subtle but important role in your life, as the aura spontaneously affects and influences others who come within it's reach. Thus, a person with a clear, powerful aura would be very charming and magnetic, and able to mesmerize others with their simple presence and being. In addition, the aura is like a shield against negative energies and unknown forces which may wish to influence or harm you.
For anyone who has taken a Kundalini Yoga class, the section that involves shoulder work is usually the most dreaded , and unfortunately most work involving the aura requires this kind of exercise. This technique is no different and will tend to challenge your mental willpower, more than your physical prowess. Just keep in mind all the great benefits you are going to enjoy, to help you get through the tough phases of this technique.
Another point I wish to make regarding cleansing and strengthening the aura, is that the breath plays an important role in that process. The Kundalini Yoga techniques which are designed to clear the Aura, almost always have a vigorous breathing pattern associated with them. This technique is again in line with this approach, and uses the powerful Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise to maximize it's purification powers. So, keep that in mind as you practice this technique.
This exercise will be part of the Free Online Kundalini Yoga Exercises series here on Mastery of Meditation. In that series and the other free online e-books you will find a large collection of other yoga poses and exercises, fully illustrated and detailed as well. Please also follow the guidelines on how to practice kundalini yoga, which I have detailed in the following 2 articles, Beginner's Guide to Yoga Practice and Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practice.
Yoga Criss-Cross Technique for Cleansing Aura
Illustration #1 Starting Position for Yoga Criss-Cross
Illustration #2 Alternate Mudra for Yoga Criss-Cross
Illustration #3 Yoga for Aura Criss-Cross
Illustration #4 Yoga for Aura Criss-Cross
Yoga Criss-Cross Technique for Cleansing Aura:
a. Instructions for Yoga Criss-Cross:
- Sit in easy pose (legs crossed). I am using a firm cushion in the illustrations above and sitting in Burmese Style (one leg in front of the other).
- Extend both arms in front of you, slightly raised such that your palms are at hairline level (top of the forehead).
- You can either have all your finger extended as I have done in Illustration #1, or do the more advanced mudra, where your thumb is at the base of your pinkie (Illustration #2) with the other fingers extended.
- Close you eyes and tune into your energy. As you do this exercise you can visualize your Aura glowing brighter and brighter.
- Begin to rapidly criss-cross the arms in front of you, bringing one on top (Illustration #3) and then the other (Illustration #4). At the same time being powerful the Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise. The arms should cross only up to about the elbows and go outwards only slightly wider than shoulder width, as I have shown in the pictures above.
- Continue to criss-cross your arms in this way at a rapid rhythmic pace for the duration of the exercise.
b. Duration for Criss-Cross Technique: 30 seconds – 5 mins
c. Benefits of Criss-Cross Technique for Cleansing Aura:
- Cleanses and powers your Aura.
- Strengthens your Magnetic Field.
- Bestows charisma and magnetism..
- Tones your arms, shoulders and chest muscles.
- Improves your respiratory system.
- Builds willpower and character.
d. Practice Tips for Yoga Criss-Cross for Powerful Aura:
- Take a break in between if it gets too difficult, and then start again when ready.
- As you develop your mastery of this technique, start to see through the initial phases of discomfort that you feel. It will get easier as the energy pathways open up and your mind and body stop resisting the pain.
- At the end of the exercise, use Mula Bandha as I have described in the following article, 5 Simple Tips to Elevate Your Yoga Practice. This will give your Aura an additional boost.
Coming soon I will publishing an entire yoga set focused specifically on cleansing and strengthening your Aura, so be on the lookout for that.

AES Press Release: AES Amsterdam 2008
Special Event with Geoff Emerick: Sgt. Pepper Remake
For Release: April 22, 2008
Fortieth Anniversary of Sgt. Pepper
Amsterdam, April 2008: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the legendary recording by the Beatles, is one of the milestones in pop music recording. To mark the 40th Anniversary of its first release, the BBC commissioned Geoff Emerick, the EMI engineer on the original recording, to re-record the entire album – with contemporary musicians but using the original vintage equipment.
The AES is proud to offer this unique production as a Special Event during the 124th Pro Audio Expo & Convention in Amsterdam. Geoff Emerick himself will present the Making-Of film of the remake for BBC TV and will be available for questions.
"When Sgt. Pepper was released, the AES was in its twentieth year. What a nice coincidence to celebrate the fortieth and sixtieth anniversary of them together," remarked Roger Furness, executive director of the AES. "We also want to thank APRS which is also celebrating its sixtieth jubilee, to organize this Special Event for our AES Convention," he added.
Geoff Emerick began as an assistant engineer at EMI's legendary Abbey Road Studios and was present as a Tape Op' when a new band called "The Beatles" recorded their first songs at the Studios. Over the next few years, he would witness the transformation of this young group into international superstars. Geoff became the Beatles Chief Engineer, he pioneered distinctive sound and recording techniques for the band.
The Special Event will take place on Sunday 11:00 to 12:30 in Room L. Please be aware that this will be one of the most popular sessions in the program so come early to ensure that you can join this exceptional presentation!

Afterglow (Wildefire #3)by Karsten Knight
The action thrills and the passion burns in this red-hot conclusion to the Wildefire trilogy. Teenage volcano goddess Ashline Wilde discovers that her former love, Colt Halliday, has an evil plan to kill the Cloak, the benevolent beings that oversee the gods. And that's not all--he also wants to merge Ash and her two sisters back into a single, too-powerful goddess, Pele. Ash must stop her trickster-god ex-boyfriend once and for all. . . and to do it, she's going to have to feed a few flames.
Embers & Echoes (Wildefire #2)by Karsten Knight
Fan the flames: A teen goddess fires up her search for love and family in this sequel to Wildefire.Ashline Wilde may have needed school to learn that she is actually a reincarnated goddess, but she's ready to move beyond books. She leaves her California boarding school behind and makes for Miami, where she meets a new group of deities and desperately seeks her sister Rose, the goddess of war. But she's also looking for love--because even though her romance with Cole had to be snuffed, Ash is a volcano goddess--and she doesn't get burned. This sequel to the edgy and action-packed Wildefire continues a fiery drama on an immortal scale.
Wildefireby Karsten Knight
Ashline and her wild-child sister, Eve, never appeared too remarkable, besides being Polynesian in a white suburban town. That is, until a petty schoolyard quarrel escalates to violence, during which Eve kills a rival of Ashline's in cold blood. Shocked, Ashline moves across the country to a remote private school nestled in California's redwoods, hoping to put the tragedy behind her. But her fresh start doesn't go as planned. After a series of dangerous and mysterious occurrences--an attempted kidnapping, the appearance of paranormal beasts in the local forest--Ashline learns that she and four of her classmates are actually demigods who were summoned to this middle-of-nowhere school by an enigmatic blind girl. As a war between the gods looms over the campus, two very powerful organizations--with very different ideas on how the demigods should use their powers--are vying for control. Both groups want Ashline and her newfound abilities on their side...and some are willing to kill for her. when warm and cold fronts collide, there's guaranteed to be a storm.

I have setup EC2 Autoscale policies along CPU monitors and it's working well.
I have occasional bursts that triggers autoscale and more servers are added.
If the servers are experiencing a burst that endures 30 minutes and two more instances are added to help with the current jobs I'd like to keep them around for 59 minutes (since I paid for 1 hour) instead of them being terminated when scaling down is triggered.
So basically I want to move the checks around the one hour mark from start and see if they are still needed, otherwise shut down. Should I play with cooldown or grace-period?
Here are the current rules (alarms not shown), as you can see I'm using the new
OldestInstance termination policy.

Is such thing possible? Thanks.

DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs had five players score in double figures, but a last-second tip-in by Rachel Holivay gave Rutgers a 65-64 victory over the Mustangs at Moody Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
With the Mustangs down 63-62, senior Keena Mays hit two free throws with 5.7 seconds remaining to give SMU a one-point lead. After calling a timeout, Rutgers guard Tyler Scaife sprinted the ball down the floor and attempted a layup, which went off the right side of the backboard but was collected by Holivay for the put-back. The play was reviewed by replay officials, and it was concluded that the ball left Holivay's fingertips with 0.1 seconds on the clock.
Mays led SMU with 16 points, and was joined by Kiara Perry (12), Akil Simpson (11), Korina Baker (11) and Mallory Singleton (10) in double figures, marking the first time that SMU had five double-digit scorers since Nov. 19 against Mississippi Valley State.
Rutgers improved to 18-5 (9-3 The American) with the win, while SMU fell to 14-9 (5-7). The Scarlet Knights are receiving votes in the latest Associated Press top 25 poll.
SMU led 35-31 at halftime, with Singleton making a layup with one second left. The Mustangs led by nine twice, including a 59-50 advantage with 3:25 remaining. SMU held a 59-52 advantage with 1:50 remaining, but the Scarlet Knights rode a 15-5 streak over the final two minutes to take the win.
SMU forced 24 turnovers and tallied 23 points as a result. Mays and Simpson each scored 10-plus points for the 20th time in 23 games this season. Kahleah Copper led Rutgers with 20 points after starting the game 0-for-5 from the field.
Next up for the Mustangs is a trip to Orlando, Fla., for a matchup with UCF on Tuesday at at 6 p.m. CST. The game will be streamed online for free with the American Digital Network.

Q. Is the neurostimulation procedure covered by insurance?
A. The majority of our treatments are covered by major insurance carriers. Your coverage for a given treatment will be determined by your specific benefits and medical history. We are happy to work with your insurance provider to help you receive the best possible medical care. As with most medical treatments, some treatments offered by Migraine Treatment Centers of America will require pre-authoriztion from your insurance carrier. This is often referred to as pre-cetifiction or pre-determination process. This process — which generally takes two to four weeks — will involve a review of your medical and treatment histories, along with a psychological evaluation. Our staff is happy to work with you to help you complete the pre-authoriztion process as quickly as possible.
Click here for financing tips.
Q. May I talk to a patient who has had the neurostimulation implant?
A. Yes, patients often volunteer to share their experience with fellow migraine sufferers so that you can have a candid discussion about the procedure.
Q. Do you provide services other than the neurostimulation procedure?
A. Yes, we are dedicated to helping chronic pain sufferers by aligning their needs with the medical services of our partner physicians. Contact us for a free migraine evaluation to see if one of our services may be a fit for you.
Q. What is the next step?
A. To get started, just fill out the contact form on this website, email us at email@example.com or call us at (855) 300-6822. We will provide you with information and answer any questions you have.

Rocket, Flying Model Kit, Honest John
This is an unassembled Honest John flying rocket model built by Centuri Engineering. It is based on the U.S. Army missile of the same name developed in the late 1950s. The model has a pasteboard body, balsa fins and nose, and a plastic parachute. A solid propellant rocket motor propels the model, and then at the end of the vertical flight it forces the release of a parachute. The model is then retrieved and can be used again. Not included in this kit are the motor, the launch controller that is used to ignite the motor, and the launch pad from which the model is launched. This model was donated by G. Harry Stine, one of the American pioneers in the hobby of flying models.

Why Spend Energy
On Religion If It's
So Unimportant?
From: [unsigned]

Sent: August 26, 2002 12:14 PM
Subject: WebMaster:_Positive_Atheism_Index
why do you spend so much energy on religion if it is so unimportant?
i hardly ever think about atheism!
From: "Positive Atheism" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
To: [unsigned]
Subject: Re: WebMaster:_Positive_Atheism_Index
Date: August 26, 2002 6:59 PM
I hardly ever think about atheism, either. Atheism is nothing, absolutely nothing. I am entirely indifferent to religion, too, unless it is practiced in a manner that is intrusive, exploitative, or dangerous.
However, for no small fraction of my life I was utterly fascinated by religion, mythology, the occult, the paranormal, and similar malarkey. All the while I thought the whole business to be just so much rot.
Then, at one point, I became religious in what students of it would call a "sudden conversion experience." After I snapped out of it (just as suddenly), it still took me a full five years to "come down from" what I had done to myself through self-indoctrination in my zeal to become accepted by the others in the sect. Later, I was forced (against my will) to participate in religion. This was a harrowing experience, indeed, such that I'm certain that I remain oblivious to the full impact that it had on me; unlike the first experience, where I joined voluntarily, figured it out entirely on my own, and left just as voluntarily (and at no small cost, emotionally) I can assure you that I still have yet to recover from this experience of enforced religious indoctrination.
I have presented a limited amount of my research on religion, material I acquired when I was in that precarious state of not knowing which end is up and not sure who's lying to you. Some of the most skilled brainwashers that have ever lived are religious evangelists. I don't blame anybody for being confused and wanting to see what another has done. For this reason, I set aside some time and made some of what I know available to those who might find it useful.
From what I hear, I certainly made the right decision, because I get a letter like yours from theists about once every six months or so, and I think this is a natch fortheists to ask. I'll also mention, without speculating as to why, that you are only the second atheist who has ever asked this of us (if I understand you to be an atheist -- if not, your question, as framed, makes no sense to me, and I apologize for addressing it as if it does). However, I get six to ten letters a day that either mention somewhere that they were helped by this material or that have only one thing to say: "Thanks for posting this material!"
But you're right: Atheism is nothing! Atheism is nothing because to an atheist, religion is nothing (in theory, anyway -- but see below).
Unfortunately, you and I know this, but the vast majority of busybody Evangelical Christians (and a growing number of busybody Muslims, lately) do not understand that atheism is nothing. They get confused because all they know is from their experience as a theist. We all know that theism is something that adherents usually become quite involved in. We also routinely see and hear of people for whom theism has become an all-encompassing obsession.
Their religion means a lot to them, so they assume that our atheism means, to us, as much as their religion means to them!
You would not bee-leeve how long and how much it took for me to cull that previous sentence out from my experience and put it into English that others might find useful. I'll say it again, and set it off to be sure I make my point, because I think this might end up being a key to at least understanding the bigotry we endure:
Their religion means a lot to them, so they assume that our atheism means, to us, as much as their religion means to them!
There's got to be a reason why atheists are so widely and viciously despised in America (and a few places elsewhere). There's got to be an explanation for why, in America, it is entirely legitimate to degrade, discriminate against, and threaten atheists in this widely represented atmosphere of advanced antibigotry sentiments. Even political leaders: the Mayor of Miami a few years ago, when Cuban child-refugee Elian was captured, vilified the INS agents as "atheists," further snarling, "They don't believe in God!" Nobody said a word!
I started this work less than a month shy of 14 years ago, after serving 24 days of a 30-day "hold" that a judge placed upon me, solely for refusing, on religious grounds, to submit to a court order to undergo religious instruction in a faith-based rehabilitation program. (In three days, on August 29, 2002, it will have been 14 years since I was released from that hold.)
Almost all of this work has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with atheism (on my part) -- with a single exception: All of this work is the result of what happens or what is likely to happen when I say, "I am an atheist." Everything I do here, from arguing with fundamentalists to writing abstract poetry is tied up into a single goal: I want to get to the bottom of something that has impaired my quality of life since I was a child.
Part of this is to study bigotry. The most effective way I know of to study bigotry is to invite it upon yourself. I got that from former gay dignity activist Luke Sissyfag and as far as I can tell, he's right. I think I have come up with a few things which, if popularized and instituted (informally) on a wider basis will, I think, either give lots of us better tools with which to cope with it and address it or give us better tools with which to rout it.
One of those elements is directly related to the personal study of our heritage as atheists. This is as close as I get to paying direct attention to atheism itself. I have made such a study and continue to dabble in it now and then (but the nuts and bolts of keeping this thing intact doesn't leave me much time for that any more: it's all subordinate clauses and HTML code and keeping the feet elevated any more). However, some of the work I have done has been quite enjoyable, useful, profound, and enlightening, so I have transcribed the reading material and posted it. If not that, I'll excerpt the representative thoughts and post them in the Big List of Quotes (with which I hope, eventually, to supplement retirement income: all is not in vain).
But I am hopeful that if a significant number of us can develop even a cursory grasp of our heritage as atheists, this will work to reduce the stigma that is from seemingly everywhere.
This may not accomplish anything but something else we stumble upon might work wonders. I have admitted from the very start that this whole thing is an experiment. As the guy on the broadcasting school ad used to say, "You never know what you can do until you try!"
Meanwhile, I would hope that you, as someone who recognizes the abject nothingness that atheism itself is, would at minimum appreciate my work toward popularizing that viewpoint (even if it is just the byproduct of a different project). I am hoping to see an eventual reduction on the type of atheist who froths gratuitously against any and all expression of religion. This cannot be doing any of us any good. I also hope that those who do think about their atheism, even if just a little, who can discuss it and who would go so far as to even call themselves atheists would consider what Gora says about morality, particularly about the role truthfulness plays in the life of someone who by their very existence calls theism falsehood.
This is not much, but neither is it comprehensive. I don't have much because in doing this particular work, I have no precedent to which I can look or consult. So I've got to experiment if I am to do anything at all. However, in keeping with my unintrusive outlook, I am coming up with ideas that fall on the shoulder of the atheist: I am, thus far, not involving the theist in any way except that some of them disregard what I say about this having atheists as her target audience and want to argue with me anyway.
And in any event, even if I fail to come up with anything here, I will not have failed myself.

Duffin was picked up as a stray on March 13; no one ever came to find him. Classified as a gray pit bull mix, Duffin is barely two years old, and is scheduled to be euthanized on Thursday.
Life is far from ideal at the New York City Animal Care and Control. Duffin is already coughing and has some untreated skin conditions, but his possibilities are endless; if only someone will give him a chance.
According to the city's evaluation, Duffin can only be adopted to an experienced person with no children in the household. During his evaluation, Duffin growled during the food, rawhide and toy tests, but never tried to bite anyone.
Please remember, dogs are in stressful situations when placed with strangers, lots of noise and many other dogs.
Please watch Duffin's video as he interacts with a volunteer.
Follow this dog's plight on Facebook by clicking here.
A volunteer who has walked Duffin states:
"I've walked Duffin a bunch and he is awesome !! He is very, very good on leash and always checking in. Sometimes he gets this happy hop to his step after I've pet him, but he still doesn't pull. He is VERY cute - love those ears. He knows "sit" and seems to have some house training. He LOVES to be petted and is so affectionate. He needs to find someone tonight !!"
Please share Duffin's story with your friends, family, and coworkers. He doesn't have much time to find a new beginning. Please refer to #A0993833.

My buddy Eric Leonardson hipped me to these two wonderful posts at the breathtakingly great BibliOdyssey blog, which include a number of images of art by the great 17th century hermetic artist, scholar and scientist, Robert Fludd.
I've been a great fan of Fludd's art since I first came across one of his most famous pieces, "The Mystery of the Human Head," in a Dover edition of Grillot de Givry's Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy (originally Le Musée des sorciers, mages et alchemists, 1929). So much so that in the decades since I've used that particular piece for fliers, posters, and even as a company logo. And while perhaps I've not been looking in the right places, reproductions of Fludd's work seem to be rare indeed.
Fortunately for me (and for you), the BibliOdyssey post includes a link to greyscale reproductions of Fludd's entire magnum opus, Utriusque Cosmi Maioris Scilicet et Minores Metaphysica, Physica Atque Technica Historia, available for download as numerous zip files or a single mammoth 238mb PDF. These were scanned by Bill Heidrick from micofilm in the Bancroft collection at UC Berkeley, which "may be the only complete modern version available."
Large cropped "color" repros (albeit edited) of De Naturae Simia, one of the books comprising the Utriusque Cosmi Majoris…, are available online from the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah — albeit wrapped in iframes. Uncropped (but much smaller) photo repros of the same work are also online via the ECHO Project of the Max Planck Society in Berlin. That site offers some Ajax-y browsing tools of marginal utility, but my understanding is that online collection is unedited.
The BibliOdyssey posts also offer links to numerous worthwhile articles about Fludd and his work, as well as items of related interest.
