Just wondering how long other people spend putting their Junies to bed? Currently it takes about 45 mins for us, sometimes even more, partly because we lay down with DD until she's sound asleep. I'd like her to start going to sleep on her own, and I'm hoping we'll get there somehow. We spend maybe 30 mins reading with her in her bed, but it's so hard to get her to settle down... she does so much talking, and whatever silliness she can think of to delay the process. I know she's scared to be alone in her room, or anywhere actually, which is why we stay. I'm thinking if we start leaving for a couple minutes here and there, and then build on that, she can get more comfortable with being alone in her bed... which would hopefully also help to keep her from climbing in bed with us every single night around 2am!
How long does your bedtime routine take?
Read about
My routine? 20 minutes, tops, and that includes reading 2 books, getting into PJ's, brushing teeth.
DH's? about an hour, b/c they play hide-and-go-seek or "dinosaurs" (aka running around growing :) then have to resettle back down.
But when we say it's time to hop into bed he goes, we get a glass of water for him and he's in for the night. No getting up, no negotiation, no exceptions. He has a nightlight that turns into a sun at 6am and he does NOT get up before that thing turns on unless he has to go potty an hour or so before then, then it's RIGHT back to bed.
Naptime is about 5 minutes, he actually likes naps but that's b/c I've convinced him that it's only fun to play with him if he's not cranky and taking a nap makes him not cranky. We make sure to do something really fun when he wakes up and he still takes about a 1.5-2hr nap, though I know those days are numbered.
These comments are making me feel so much better about our bed time routine. Just last night my husband came in to our room grumpy because our DS was having a hard time getting settled in. The biggest problem for us is that unless DS is EXTREMELY tired, he won't go to bed unless we go to bed. Our house is on the smaller side, so he literally just has to turn the corner and walk 7 feet down the hallway to the living room to be with us again, so there is the potential for distractions.
He does still take a nap at the sitter's house, so when that happens the bed time gets drawn out later. We usually start between 9:30-10p. After we fight with him to get the iPad out of his hand then negotiate to not have his TV on (we let him watch things like Blue Planet on the weekend to sleep to). So after that is all taken care of and he's finally OK with laying down we sit there and sing to him. For me, I usually take about 15 minutes to get through all the songs he wants. DH is another story.. he will be in there for 30-45 minutes.. reading books, singing songs, telling stories. I'm pretty sure that DS thinks that when DH is around it's party time.. so that's why it's a little more difficult.
We also get a lot of bed time excuses like suddenly hungry, thirsty, bathroom multiple times, tummy hurts.. and my favorite "BUT I JUST LOVE YOU!" to get out of bed. So yeah.. it's a struggle.. but he does usually stay in there the whole night. He crawls into our bed about once a week. Not a big deal to me though, as it's usually around 5:30 or so, and I get up for work at 6a.

I used to have to lay down with DD until she fell asleep at night and I totally understand how frustrating it can be. At the time I seriously couldn't imagine a day where she would just lay down and go to sleep by herself. But after my YDS was born I was forced to take the steps to change it since I couldn't lay down with her AND him at the same time (she has her own room, and YDS is still in bed with me). So I started saying "If you stay in bed while I put your brother to sleep, I'll come in and lay with you after he's asleep. But if you get up or make noise, I won't lay with you at all." And for some reason it worked! And now, a year later, I still nurse YDS to sleep and DD will lay in her bed and wait for me to finish. Then I'll go and lay with DD for about 10 minutes and then leave for her to fall asleep on her own. She will fall asleep by herself for naptime, but sometimes it takes a long long time because she'll play or sing. I don't really care how long it takes her to fall asleep, just as long as I don't have to be in there, waiting for her to do it. Just the other day I was thinking to myself that I was FINALLY satisfied with the way bedtime goes with her. And she has had sleep issues since day #1.
Busy chasing and loving my June 2009 girl and my August 2011 boy.
It varies night to night - could be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Sometimes June DS and 5yo DD are super cooperative getting on their pajamas and brushing their teeth and sometimes not, so that can take for-e-ver. And DS more often than not resists going to the potty, so that adds time. They generally take a bath (DS) / shower (DD) every other night, but fortunately they are both pretty good with that so it doesn't become a time sucker. And we spend about 15-20 minutes reading books. We were cosleeping until about 8 months back, but we picked it back up in the interest of time (kids go to sleep faster when we are all together, and DH and I are usually trying to get back downstairs asap to finally watch a TV show together!). Sometimes they go right to sleep, and sometimes we are bombarded with "Mama, I'm not tired" or "Dada, I'm thirsty" for what seems like an eternity. We tell them to get water if they want it before we get in the bed, but DS can be relentless! Ultimately we end up saying "DS, you know what makes you not thirsty anymore? Going to sleep!" Fortunately, they have always been great sleepers once they go down - they never wake up in the middle of the night. They just don't want the daytime fun to end!
Our routine cracks me up - we are all in our bed together until the kids go to sleep, then DH and I get back up and spend time together, then DH and I sleep in the guest room so we're not crowded by the kids. I guess our room isn't really "our" room right now!! No complaints here, though - we absolutely love cuddling up with our babies at bedtime!
My DS takes bath everyday about an hour before bedtime. gets dressed then does stories with daddy until bedtime. then he brushes his teeth and pees and gets in bed. the whole thing takes about an hour and he is always ready to go to sleep happily.
ds#1 6-27-09, ds#2 1-14-13, ds#3 due 10-26-16
angel babies 10-4-11, 1-11-12
About 50 minutes. We do bath, then 3 stories, brush teeth, use the bathroom. I then sing, "Jesus Loves Me," we say prayer and its lights out. He lays there and goes to sleep on his own. I started him doing that at around 18 months and it has saved my sanity. Before that, we nursed, then moved to rocking, and then moved to laying on the floor by his crib, to eventually him going alone. I started him going to sleep alone at naptime. I would sit in his room in a rocking chair and read. I started sitting for an hour and decreased the time by 10 minutes until there was no time. Then nightime just fell into place. For naps, he just goes gets into bed and falls asllep. He still sleeps 2-3 hours for naps and about 10 at night. I have no complaints about his sleep and feel like I am in heaven. However, prior to his turning 18 months, he did not sleep and I thought I would lose my mind. So I kind of feel I paid my dues....
30 mins. but that doesn't include the time she takes getting out of bed so many times. We do bath every other night. At 7:30, we do pj's, 2 books, brush teeth and go bathroom. Then we have a detailed routine that is insane and if she spends the night somewhere, they have to figure it out lol. First, we do high fives, hugs on both sides, give eachother kiss on forehead, then DH does the same thing, then kisses again on forehead from me, I have to tuck her in. Then we have a routine in what we say lol We have to repeat her. First, I repeat her when she says, goodnight, I love you, I love you too. Then DH does it and then I have to do it again! lol Then I have to say go to sleep and she says "I will" and then I say good girl. If we make any mistakes, it's wrong! She is set in her ways! This has been going on for almost a year. I often wonder when it will stop. She often gets up between 1-4 times, not fun.

CRS6 Two
The popularity of flush-mounted speakers in the ceiling continues to grow. The Custom Round Series, or CRS, has long been a staple of installers around the world for these applications. Available in 5-, 6-, and 8-inch versions, a model exists for almost every specific situation.
Featuring identical drivers and performance to their CRS counterparts, the Custom Square Series, or CSS, speakers simply present these elements in a square baffle. Many designers and installers prefer this physical format in certain installations due to architectural or other aesthetic considerations.
Most of the CRS/CSS speakers feature our patented WavePlane tweeter baffle, which improves both dispersion and highfrequency performance. Most of the CRS/CSS also offer pivoting tweeters and adjustable woofer and/or tweeter levels for fine-tuning the system during trim out.

Anonymous Celebrates Guy Fawkes Day; NBC, Lady Gaga, Australia, PayPal invited to Hacking Party
Anonymous hacked online properties of US broadcaster NBC, music star Lady Gaga, the Australian government, and PayPal as part of their Nov. 5 celebration of Guy Fawkes Day. The defacements, including multiple NBC sites, were dedicated to the man who plotted to blow up the House of Lords in 1605 and whom Anonymous chose as a symbol.
"Vote Guy Fawkes — The Only Man Ever To Enter Parliament With Honest Intentions," a member of the movement tweeted on the platform, while another quoted lines from the movie "V for Vendetta," inspired from Guy Fawkes' story. "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof!"
Though a list of up to 28,000 passwords was apparently leaked on the Internet, PayPal said it had "no evidence" of a security breach.
Lady Gaga's website was rapidly restored, but search engines still index the web page with the defacement message.
"My little angels! help is on the way. Haus of Gaga techies will be on it… to the rescue. Calling them now," Lady Gaga tweeted shortly after the attack.
At the time of writing, Australian website ascensionaustralia.com.au was still compromised.
"The Australian Government continues to push for new legislation and sell off Australian's rights to privacy, and our sovereignty," reads the message on the defaced web page.
Anonymous planned to back up their online protest with a march in front of the White House in the US and Parliament in the UK to reenact the revolution scene from the movie "V for Vendetta."

This summer, things are a bit chillier than usual at Disney's Hollywood Studios. That's because Olaf the snowman has taken over, along with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff, for a special event that runs daily through September 1. It's known as Frozen Summer, and it's included with your regular park admission ticket. Various activities run throughout the day, culminating in a Frozen fireworks extravaganza at park closing time, but it all starts will an introduction by the loveable Olaf. Click the video accompanying this article to see him kicking off the day of fun.
Olaf's introduction happens when the park opens, so you'll want to be at the gates early to make sure you get in with plenty of time to make it down to the big screen. Early arrival has other advantages, too. Anna and Elsa's royal welcome takes place at 11 a.m., and you'll want some time to stake out a good spot (if you'd like to see it on video, jump to this article). Before you do that, you might want to check out Wandering Oaken's Frozen Funland to skate or make a snowman (yes, with real snow) before the crowd gets too massive.
Later in the day, you'll want to spend some time at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post to stock up on Frozen merchandise, and you'll also want to pop in one of the Frozen sing-along shows. After all, you probably haven't heard "Let It Go" nearly enough! Don't worry, there are other songs in the show, too, and you'll enjoy the humor. You can even buy a Frozen-themed treat like a cupcake or candy apple.
Of course, while the Frozen activities are fun, Disney's Hollywood Studios is packed with plenty of other rides and shows to fill your day, like the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Star Tours, and Muppets 3-D. If you have a park hopper ticket, you can even take the boat to Epcot for part of the day.
If you'd like an overview of Frozen Summer, jump to this article for a video of all the highlights, from the welcome to the show to the fireworks.

Although not the hardiest of choices, the sheer impact of this large evergreen palm makes it well worth a try in some of the milder parts of the country. Haling from the temperate forests of Southern Brazil and Uruguay, this silver leaved, slow growing species can tolerate temperatures down to -5C (23F). As hardiness increases with age, it is advisable to choose the biggest size you can afford and plant in a warm sheltered site, preferably near a south facing wall. Excellent specimens can be found growing outdoors in The Chelsea Physic Garden and in the far South West of England. In its native land the tree's edible red berries are harvested and made into a variety of sweets, jams & jellies, hence its name.

Let a sequence of complex functions $a_{ij} = \bar{a_{ji}} \in C^{\infty} (\Bbb R^{n+1})$ for $i,j = 1,\cdots,n$. Assume that $a_{ij} (\vec0) = 0$ for $i,j = 1, \cdots , n$. Then I want to prove that $$ \exists m >0 \;\; \exists \eta >0 \;\;\; \forall \xi \in \Bbb C^n \;\; \forall v \in \Bbb C^{n+1} , \;\; |v| < \eta : $$ $$ | \xi |^2 + \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij} (v) \xi_i \bar\xi_j \geqslant m | \xi|^2.$$ Here bar means that $\overline{x+yi} = x-yi $ for some real $x,y$.

Let $A(v)$ the $n\times n$ matrix whose general term is $a_{i,j}(v)$. We can find $\eta>0$ such that if $|v|\leq\eta$ then for all $i,j$, $|a_{i,j}(v)|\leq \frac 1{2n}$. By the gershgorin circles theorem, the eigenvalues of $1+A(v)$ for such $v$ are in the union of the circle of center $|1+a_{ii}(v)|$ and radius $\frac 12$. If $z$ is in such a circle, we have $|z|\geq |1+a_{ii}|-|z-(1+a_{ii})|\geq 1-\frac 1{2n}-\frac 12=\frac 12-\frac 1{2n}>0$, so we can take $m:=\frac 12-\frac 1{2n}$, using Rayleigh quotients, as we have an uniform below bound for the smallest eigenvalue of $I+A(v)$ .

Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on October 22, 2013 @ 11:42PM
Created on October 22, 2013 @ 10:16PM
Monongalia County residents spoke out at Tuesday night's school board meeting to support County Commissioner Tom Bloom's request for leave to attend commission meetings.
Concerned parents presented the board with a petition with over 660 signatures in support of Bloom, who works as a counselor at Morgantown High School. He has sued the board to allow him to leave school early to attend the commission's Wednesday afternoon meetings.
US Magistrate Judge Kaull recommended earlier this month that Bloom's request for preliminary injunctive relief be denied. That relief would have allowed Bloom to be released from his job to attend commission meetings.
"Basically we don't have the mechanism or anything that would allow us to be able to release him through the day to be able to go to another job, so to speak, or to take compensated leave for it," said Monongalia County Schools Superintendent Frank Devono.
"I feel like they should allow him to take the time off or to flux his hours. I mean, I work and there's lots of times that I might take some time off but I come back and stay late or I work on the weekends so I take a day off. I don't think it's unreasonable," said Susan Crayne, who is a parent of a Morgantown High School student.
Judge Irene Keeley will rule on Kaull's recommendation and the case at a later date, but there is no word on when exactly that will be.

After a long hiatus, The JQ Studio, with Artistic Director Jesus Quintero is back with a brand new original work, Hour of The Wolf.
Hour of the Wolf tells the story of a man on the year anniversary of his loved one's death. Plagued by insomnia and bouts of fitful unrest, the man's already fragile mental state takes a turn for the worse during the hour of the wolf. Inspired by Ingmar Bergman's film of the same title, it explains: 'The hour of the wolf occurs between midnight and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their greatest dread, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. It is the hour when most children are born.'
Hour of the Wolf is a performance that combines all of Quintero's theatrical explorations for the last decade. It will incorporate the melancholic sounds of a live cellist, Joseph Valbrun, the profane poetry of Charles Bukowski and the delicate imagery of poet/lyricist Silvio Rodriguez. Using elements of ritualism, movement, and song, Hour of the Wolf, is more interested in creating an experience for the audience rather then putting on a show. Quintero, who wrote and performs the piece explains, "It's not a show; It's a happening. It's the most personal and risky performance I've put on in all my years of theatre."
The JQ Studio is located at 9001 NE 3rd Ave Miami, FL 33138. Showdates are March 3rd- 20th, Thursday –Sunday, 8:00pm. Tickets are $25.00; group discounts available.
For more information on The JQ Studio or to purchase tickets, visit www.TheJQStudio.com or call: 786-853-3915 and 786-382-3729.

The winery at Azienda Vinicola Palama has been around since 1936, and is still in the Palama family. While proprietor Arcangelo Palama initially sold most of their wine in bulk, it eventually made its way into restaurants, and elsewhere. Now at the hands of third generation Palamas (sons Cosimo and Donato) and in collaboration with the consultant Leonardo Sergio, the winery is producing some of the highest quality wines in the Salento region.
Salento is a small DOC in the Apulia (Puglia) region of Italy which covers the lower portion of "the boot." Salento is in the heel of the boot, and centers around the small town of Salice Salentino.
This wine is a rose most likely made from a mix of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera varietals. Negroamaro (literally "black, bitter") is traditionally a blending grape, but in Salento in particular it is often mixed with Malvasia to make some hefty red wines as well as roses like this one. Malvasia Nera (aka Red Malvasia -- since many Malvasia varieties are white) has traditionally been used as a blending grape as well, historically complementing Tuscany's Sangiovese in regional blends before being displaced by Cabernet in more recent years.
Tasting Notes:
This is one of the most intensely colored rosatos I have ever seen, colored shimmering rose pink, with gorgeous aromas of sweet championship roses (yes, the flower) and flavors in the mouth of cranberry, pomegranate, white plums, and bright minerals. The acidity of this wine is spectacularly fresh and crisp making it a delight to drink with just about anything. A clean finish ensures a refreshing experience that is actually closer to a light red wine than most other wines of its color (this is nothing like a white infidel). Drink it cold.
Food Pairing:
This is a knockout with ceviche of any type, especially a spicy recipe like this sea bass ceviche with roasted peppers, grilled masa cakes, roasted corn and citrus marinade.
Overall Score: 9/9.5
How Much?: $13.99

What would summer be without those multi-colored kites made of bamboo, paper and plastic adorning the skies? Like the seasonal children's games of tops, spider-fighting, rubber bands, and assorted native games like tubig-tubig, biko, siatong, and bato-lata, these allow children to have quality time with each other and keep them from harm's way. Basically.
When there were fewer people in Cebu and there were more open spaces, nobody really minded kids and adults flying kites. But injuries and even deaths have occurred because people's kites got entangled in electric wires.
Mark, a 14-year-old who practices the Filipino martial art of Yaw-Yan, also loves flying kites. He said it's fun. Mark experienced having his kite entangled in electric wires. Asked if he tried to get his kite back, he said, "No I didn't. I knew that I could get electric shock.†Continue reading Kite-Flying

My Ex, is also ex-Army, and she would have probably kicked his ass.
My daughter, is 5'2" ... and when younger I taught her a lot on self-defense, etc. When 18 she was working a job at a baseball field and they didn't leave until 2 a.m..... and they all had to walk across a long lot to their cars. They all normally walked together for protection. Plus , she would call me on her cell phone and talk to me on the way to her car.. until she was in it and driving.
One night... no call.... no call... no answer... no answer... no answer... Finally I get a call. She had gone out to her car by herself. Some 6' - 200 lb guy came up behind her and grabbed her from behind as she got to her car (attempted rape). As she was talking to me and letting me know what happened , I could hear comments and laughing in the background. It's was the 2 police officers getting the guy into the police car. She , uh, used the methods I had taught her and kicked his ass.
The Police officer got on the phone with me, he said the guy was much bigger than her, and she had really done a number on him, and wanted to tell me ..... that I had taught her well. He said when they arrived... he was flat on the ground, in pain, with her standing over him. He would "not get up" when they told him to.... he was too afraid of her. They were going to have to take him to the hospital, because he had missing teeth, and they thought a broken arm and a broken nose. He laughed, and said... "the guy is pretty messed up and is all bloody".
I'd just stand back and watch as my wife dealt with the "little buggers".
I'd actually feel sorry for them.
pressing in on me + even thinking about touching my wife = nice little push back while I tangle his feet W/ mine. Whoops..must have tripped there little boy.

my wife would have kicked his rear....I wouldn't have had time to do much, after a wicked backhand...he would have found himself in the pavement....then maybe I could have picked him up by his collar.

Sounds like he's still young enough for a good spanking....
....on the other hand, if HE disagrees, then maybe he's ready to "fight like a MAN" instead.....
Had it been my wife both of those kids would have gotten a free ride in an ambulance and got to see first hand the inside of an Emergency Room!!!! Of course a police officer once told me that a dead man cannot testify against you in court!!!!
You could have intervened, taken him to the ground to the point that you had control over him and turned him over to the police for assault. Wrist and arm locks work real well--just bend the wrist or fingers 90 degrees in the opposite direction of the joint's natural rotation. Once he is down you can not pound on him when you have control over him--that would be assault. There are methods that you can control the perp's wrist and walk him to the police station.
Aren't you supposed to shake your fist and yell about kids these days?
No, but really, gotta be careful of youth nowadays they can still stick you with a knife while they're up in your face and you're deciding what to do.
Subtle differences between kids now, and when I was a kid(im 26). one of them is moving out of the way of cars coming into a neighborhood. I remember everyone yelling "CAR!" and moving. Then "GAME ON" and going back into the street...
Nowadays they stare at you like a deer in headlights.
Given those circumstances, I'd look around to make sure there were no cameras and then I'd shatter his nose and start moving towards his friend. If there were cameras, I'd hose 'em both with the OC.

I would slap this kid, and kick him in the chest, I've been through this in NYC where I grew up. Kept a good eye on the kid to make sure he didn't escalate further, but usually they are humiliated and run off to find their "family". But I had a talk with the block don, u from Brooklyn, u know what I mean. Hey it's my wife and can easily be my 13yr daughter, hell no!!!

ChinaMotorWorld, a leading English language trade publication about the motorcycle industry, published a year end review. The article describes how the Chinese market has been the largest in the world by volume for 17 years, but it has also been synonymous with poor quality, and poor commercial performance overseas despite large unit sales. Traditionally this has been attributed to the lack of spare parts availability, after sales care, inconsistant distribution and a very low profit margin pegged at an average of just 2.7%.
Over the past few years a dramaitic improvement in many areas, from manufacturing qualtiy and the first factory supported export ventures, have increased the profile of many Chinese motorcycle brands and products in global markets, but says the report, a lingering problem is the lack of indigeneous R&D and original design and innovation. The report cites many examples of collaboration with western brands, such as BMW, Peugeot and Piaggio as examples of technology transfer, but also points out that despite this, and substantial Chinese government support, national brands are still struggling to compete directly with western OEMs abroad. Chinese exports fell by over 6M units in 2010, mostly as a result of shrinking demand and liquidity issues in developed markets.
ChinaMotorWorld.com is an online and print trade publication focused on the Chinese motorcycle industry. Supported by China Chamber of Commerce Motorcycle (CCCM), it reports on national issues, reviews products and offers insight into the world's largest motorcycle market.

Most of the major appellations of California tend to have their own large tastings, where members of the public have an opportunity to sample a broad range of wines from a specific area. These tastings, as I am fond of reminding you readers, are by far the best way to educate your palate and to learn both what you like and do not like, but also who you like and do not like when it comes to California wine. These tastings are the best places to discover your next favorite wine.
This particular wine tasting may be a chance to discover more than that, however. Even the most informed wine lovers may not be aware that there is an increasing amount of wine produced just north of the Golden Gate bridge, nearly 60 minutes closer than the southernmost vineyards of Napa and Sonoma.
Marin has a long history of winegrowing, however, stretching back into the 19th century, and while those early pioneers long ago abandoned the foggy hillsides north of the bridge for warmer regions like the Livermore Valley, there are a set of new pioneers who are teasing out some very interesting wines from the chilly hills and valleys of Marin County.
This small tasting, which benefits the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, a non-profit organization focused on helping preserve agricultural lands from development, offers a chance to sample wines from more than a dozen well known producers who are either based in Marin, or making wines with Marin county grapes.
I've had a few of these wines, and coveted a few more, and this is definitely a tasting that's worth crossing the bridge, and donating fifty bucks to a good cause to attend.

Bye, bye, Vista
By lukas on Apr 25, 2008
I'm back with dual boot - Windows XP and Ubuntu. I'm using XP however I do plan to switch to the latest Ubuntu after JavaOne. It is not worth to have a nightmares before the session...
Lukas, but what about OpenSolaris? :)

I would like to write a Linux service using PERL, but don't know how to do. (I know perl)
I have a MySQL database, and need to check it for new records, so I can process them. The service should respond almost instantly, so cron is not a good choice for me and I don't want to use some workarounds in order to run my script every second. Besides, the script is threaded, and may take some time till finish, so cron is not really good choice for me.
So, I have two ways:
A service that queries database at every second and process the new records as they arrive. Or something like MySQL trigger that triggers the script when a new record inserted. However, this should not slow down other software that inserts the records.
What do you suggest me? What is the best way to achieve this?
edit: For example, do I need to do something like this when writing a service?
while(1) { do stuff sleep(1) } and write a simple init script? Is there any more elegant way?
Thanks in advance,

Oil Majors Shrink to Grow
It's not just BP among oil majors that is shrinking to grow. Both Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil Thursday reported soaring profits thanks to high oil prices, but both also saw declining production volumes. Exxon's production fell 4% year-on-year, its first dip since spring 2009, while Royal Dutch Shell's was down 2%.
Both companies said output levels would look better if adjusted for recent divestments: Exxon's production would have been steady, while Shell's underlying growth rate is 2%, it said. That points to the trend among major oil companies to rationalize their portfolios, even when they haven't been forced to like BP has. Shell, for example, has sold $6.8 billion of assets this year. That's lower than BP's $26 billion of asset sales since last year's oil spill, for sure, but still significant.
The question now is how quickly both Shell and Exxon can return to absolute production growth. Shell hopes major projects in Canada and Qatar now coming on stream will help it raise production to 3.5 million barrels per day by the end of 2012, from 3 million barrels now. Exxon, meanwhile, expects production to grow by 4% to 5% on average out to 2014. For now, the two majors can content themselves with the fact that while their current output has been stalling, oil prices have remained high enough to cover the cracks.

Flex Time FAQ's
Flex Time (FT) – FAQ
What is Flex Time?
Flex Time (FT) is time built into the middle school schedule four days per week so students can make lasting connections with teachers and work towards meeting and/or exceeding state standards and district/school strategic goals through social/emotional learning, homework assignments, skill-based intervention and enrichment.
The FT schedule is as follows:
Monday: Social/emotional learning lessons
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: Homework, tutorial and enrichment time
Why did CMS add FT into the schedule?
To enhance personal connections between students and teachers
To help us meet or exceed state standards and district and school strategic goals
FT allows CMS to provide 55% more direct Social/Emotional Learning instruction throughout the school year
FT allows students to get started on homework at school so they can receive help from their teachers if needed and have less to do at home
FT allows for students needing extra help to receive it during the school day
FT gives CMS the opportunity to provide students with enrichment activities (e.g., peer tutoring)
We are continuously looking to improve and research supports this model of support for student learning
What are student expectations during FT?
Students should:
Be prepared with planner/calendar, homework and novel ready to go at the very beginning of period.
Assignments are to be written in planner/calendar or are also accessible through the academic calendar throughout the day. Students should not be spending excessive time during FT to determine homework assignments.
alone or in small groups from the beginning to the end of the period as needed.
All students report to their FT teacher every day unless otherwise directed by a staff member. Students should not leave the classroom to go to see another teacher without having made prior arrangements.
What is the grading policy for FT?
FT is Pass/Fail. Students are expected to participate as they would in any other class.
How will I know what my student is doing during FT?
CMS will follow the schedule outlined above during each week of the school year. Of course, your student can also provide you with specific information about what they do during FT. Also, you can contact Mr. Corritone, Ms. Shima or your student's FT teacher.
Where did the minutes for FT come from?
Our goal is to continually improve our school and programs to meet the needs of our students and extend their learning. Taking a couple of minutes from other class periods and lunch generated the 25 minutes for FT. We feel using the minutes in this way provides significant value added for our students.
Who do I contact if I have any questions about FT?
Please feel free to contact Mr. Corritone or Ms. Shima if you have any questions about FT.

Gateway Station gets going
But work remains, including crafting agreement
"At this point, there has been no conceptual plans developed," said Kurt Hartman, senior managing director of Hines. "It's really been based on what your prior experience has been. We will need to get with NCDOT to craft an agreement, a predevelopment agreement, to understand who is doing what."

|WBB Staff Supports Cause
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho women's basketball coaches were issued Cold Water Challenges as part of the #Chillin4Charity twitter campaign from all across the country. In true Idaho fashion they did not disappoint.
Coach Christa Sanford was the first Vandal to be challenge by Washington State's Brian Holsinger. Newly hired assistant coach, Miranda Forry, was then challenged by Pacific's Bradley Davis. Sanford accepted the challenge by creating a slip and slide, Forry took to a kiddie pool to be dumped with ice-cold water.
Head coach Jon Newlee and assistant coach Kristi Zeller teamed up to complete their challenge. Newlee accepted his challenge from UC Irvine's head coach Doug Oliver, while Zeller was issued her challenge from Toledo's Katie Griggs. Newlee and Zeller took a raft down a water slide at the Hamilton-Lowe Aquatics Center, getting met with buckets of cold water at the bottom.
The Coldwater Challenge was initiated by the staff and student-athletes of the University of Arizona women's basketball team. The rules state that all challenged have 48 hours from the time of being called out to fulfill their task. Any head coach that doesn't answer the challenge owes the Kay Yow Foundation $250. For those that complete the challenge, the person who challenged must pay the foundation $50. Assistant coaches owe $100 and $25, respectively. Each person to complete the challenge must post their video via social media and use the hashtags #Chillin4Charity and #Play4Kay.
Named for the legendary North Carolina State women's basketball coach, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund has raised upwards of $8 million toward ending cancers afflicting women, and uniting people behind a common cause, since its inception in 2009.
As of the morning of Friday, June 27, the #Chillin4Charity hashtag has been used in 26,300 tweets, retweeted 123,400 times and reached 68.11 million people.

The CDG (Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation) syndromes are a group of autosomal recessive disorders affecting glycoprotein synthesis. CDG syndrome type Ib is characterised by hepatic-intestinal manifestations (diarrhoea, vomiting, and hepatomegaly associated with hepatic fibrosis).
It has been described in 20 children.
The hepatic fibrosis may evolve towards cirrhosis and hepatic insufficiency, which is sometimes fatal. The clinical manifestations are not present at birth but appear during the first three months of life. Additional manifestations (failure to thrive, oedema, febrile episodes, thrombosis, hypoglycaemia and facial dysmorphism) were present in some cases. CDG syndrome type Ib can be differentiated from other types of CDG syndrome by the absence of neurological disease.
The syndrome is caused by mutations in the MPI gene (localised to the q22-qter region of chromosome 15) leading to a deficiency of the cytoplasmic enzyme phosphomannose isomerase.
CDG syndrome can be successfully treated by oral administration of mannose.

MILSIG Industries is proud to announce the release of the long awaited M17 line. The revolutionary line mechanical full automatic paintball markers designed to be the finest of milsim markers on the planet. From hardcore magfed play to scenario big games, these markers will take anyone to the next level of the game. The heart of the M17 is the latest generation of our HEAT Core, a mechanical full automatic, internally regulated blow forward system with a multi-state selector switch designed for ease of maintenance, reliability, and absolute consistency. Available in three models based on three roles at three different prices.
Mechanical Full Auto
That's right, a mechanical full automatic paintball marker! Semi is great for everyday use, FULL AUTO is for FUN... and we did it without batteries or electronics. No fuss, no hassle, the M17 is purely mechanical.
Easy Maintenance
The heart of the M17 is our infamous HEAT core system. The HEAT Core requires very little maintenance. The entire marker has less than 5 O-Rings, and only 2 of which require regular maintenance. When maintenance is needed, the entire operating system is separated from the marker by removing 2 pins. A few drops of oil, and the marker is back in business.
Consistency & Accuracy
When you are trying to do MORE with LESS, consistency is paramount. The HEAT Core is known for its consistency with swings of as little as +/- 2 fps on the chronograph. The newest generation of HEAT Core is even more consistent, with better recharge characteristics. Add to that our famous Marksman Rifled barrels, and you have a winning combination of consistency and accuracy.
First Strike Ready
All M17 models shoot FSR out of the box, with a new 18 rounds capacity Squarehead FSR magazine.
New Grip
A new grip design that allows for simple attachment of any standard AR-15 grips. Whatever your playing style or ergonomic needs are, if it fits on an "AR", it will fit your M17.
Selector Switch Safety
Gone is the cross bar safety, in is the new AR style selector switch safety. Realism and functionality together as one.
M17 CQC - Close Quarter Combat
This is our most compact M17 model. Replacing the CQB PRO, this little marker packs punch! Beginning with a steel plate encased Polymer body, we added a new Polymer Magazine Well with an ambidextrous paddle Magazine Release. We then added a two-piece Polymer Integrated Rail system. We finished it off with a short smoothbore Bull Barrel for that signature SMG look. Economical without compromise, this amazing MagFed marker does everything you want at an amazing price. This is the marker you asked us to build, and we delivered.
Package includes:

We're not sure what the Tip Me the Wink Bag ($73) is trying to be (A carpetbag? A penguin?), but its lack of identity isn't deterring us from purchasing it. The dark faux-leather body and tortoiseshell closure are neutral enough to pair with anything, but it's the neon yellow detailing that adds the right amount of spunk to make the sale!

Don Wood's "Proof"
Ray Romano
To: firstname.lastname@example.com <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Subject: Don Wood's "proof"
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 1998 3:53 PM
Don Wood went on and on claiming to have proof of God's existence and I read through his whole diatribe and nowhere does he state his proof. One can only conclude that he has none, but is only interested in putting down people whose opinion differs from his.
I've had people say to me, look at the sky, the fields, the ocean, the beautiful sunset. Isn't that proof positive of God? I reply, "Following that line of thought, look at the magnificent rainbows after a big rainstorm. Isn't that proof positive that God is gay?"
Ray Romano
President -- Atheists of San Francisco Region (ASFR)
and Host of TV talk show "Religiously Incorrect"
It is sad that it doesn't take much of an argument to persuade somebody that something they already want to believe to be true, actually is true.
This is the main point of John Stossel's recent ABC News special The Power of Belief: How Our Beliefs Can Impact Our Minds.

Wayne Lougee was born and has lived. He married and had children. His greatest accomplishment in life was to graduate from Crooked River Grade School in Prineville Oregon. This feat only took him 2 1/2 years as that he started out in the middle of the fourth grade. He began his career as a comic at an early age. Most of his material came to him while sitting in the back row at school and church listening to and remembering the funny things people say. He has lived by the principle that humor can be found in any situation.

2008 Research Summary
Circuit Size Optimization with Multiple Sources of Variation and Position Dependent Correlation
View Current Project Information
Qian Ying Tang, Paul David Friedberg and Costas J. Spanos
The growing impact of process variation on circuit performance requires statistical design approaches in which circuits are designed and optimized subject to an estimated variation. Previous work [1] has shown that by including extra margins in each of the gate delays to account for delay variation due to vth variability and optimizing the gate sizes, the circuit delay variation can be reduced by half. Our work addresses the limitations in [1] by delpoying extended models that include delay variations due to vth and effective gate length, as well as spatial correlations between gates, for both variables. These models are used to size a 32-bit ladner-fischer adder and the circuit delay distributions are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations.
The analysis shows that by including the effects of gate length variations and spatial correlations in addition to the original vth variation in the optimization, the standard deviation of the circuit delay decreased from 1.96 in [1] to 1.36, and the circuit yield improved 6% when trying to achieve a 52 nsec maximum acceptable delay. Work is in progress to measure the parameters, such as spatial correlation, used in the optimization in actual state of the art processes, and to extend the optimization scheme for larger circuits.
Figure 1: Histogram of the circuit delay and yield improvements with reference to 52 nsec for different designs: (a) deterministic design, yield is 63%; (b) statistical design that considers only variation due to Vth, yield is 92%; (c) statistical design that considers variations due to both vth and Leff, yield is 96%; (d) statistical design that considers variations due to vth, Leff and position dependant correlation, yield is 98%

The new Verizon Samsung U380 is a nice phone for those who want a simple, texting phone. I think this is a good thing for Verizon. people need better feature phones. not everybody wants to pay for a data plan.
It is mainly a touch screen except for typing (slide-out QWERTY keyboard), a back button, a call button. Also features a camera of some size, 3.5mm headset jack, microSD card slot and supports the CDMA EV-DO 850/1900MHz bands. Overall, this phone is good for someone who just wants to text and call..

Strap On Couple: Black Babe Balls A Beefy White Bear With Jo
Secretly, many women fantasize about doing their men with a strap on. Many men also fantasize about having their women do them with a strap on. Beefy bear stud John X and hot ebony princess Samone Beautiful decided to realize this fantasy together and record it for all to see. The uninhibited John X makes Samone cum really hard with his great sensual and sexual skills and then he takes the big strap on deep in his ass and sucks the strap on right out of his ass (ATM) over and over again. You can expect to see lots of vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse (for both), hot fellatio, expertly performed cunnilingus, orgasm inducing toying, and fun and playful hardcore sexual experimentation with the passion, affection and sensuality you have come to expect from John X. This is a great choice for couples, women, and straight, bisexual, and gay men. You REALLY have to see this video!

Social Media Waiting to Inspire Us
In the age where celebrities are twitterin' away at any given moment, we're somewhat immune to the 'awe' we first felt when we had such a personal connection. In fact, I've already severed most of my celebrity tweetin' connections (tired of the same ol' talk) and most Facebook pages seem to be the same as web sites -- translation: managed by someone else.
But there's still room for a little star power on the world wide web, and I've recently experienced two finds that sent my heart a'flutterin.'
Joshilyn Jackson (Gods in Alabama, Between, Georgia, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming) not only has her web site, but a blog! As a wanna-be-published writer I find her stories about choosing the cover design (or lack of input) fascinating. I'm amazed at her stories of normal life, because she truly seems to have a "My kids and I are sick with the flu"-kind of normal life. When I hear her talk at a writer's conference next month (one I'm attending simply for that reason) I'll have stars in my eyes.
The second find came Friday night while reading the newest book of poems by Alice Walker. In the back of the book I found the usual blurb about Walker and her life, etc. etc., but it also mentioned her redesigned web site. So of course I pick up my Mac, type in the address, and have an oh-my-lord-alice-walker-has-a-blog exhilarated squeal, which made my husband look at me in all sorts of strange ways.
a blog that reveals a side of herself that we would never glimpse in her books, no matter how introspective.
If you're not impressed, I don't think we can be friends.
So I guess the moral to my story is this: With all the crap that's beginning to infiltrate our social media bubble, there are always the oh-my-lord-alice-walker-has-a-blog discoveries waiting to inspire us.
p.s. If you've had one already, I'd love to hear about it! Tweet

My awe moment was something different entirely. It came while I was reading a book and the dad was talking about his kid doing a science project. Immediately my mind started reeling when thinking about how much information kids now have at their fingertips. I mean when we were in school we always went to the library to pick out a book that talked about some kind of experiment that would not have half of the information needed and now kids just google it!

Orlando is a city filled with fantasy. Even the restaurants are a memorable experience. Plan ahead because these popular dining venues fill up fast and are definitely worth a visit.
Here are a few of Orlando's best 'themed' restaurants outside the parks.
Capone's Dinner Show
4770 W. Bronson Hwy
Kissimmee, FL 34746
If you love Italian food, the gangster stylin's of the 1930s, and musical comedy revues, you really don't want to miss Capone's Dinner Show. My personal favorite, Capone's takes guests to a flashy Chicago speakeasy for a fast-paced interactive show that will keep you laughing with characters like Bunny-June, Bugs Moran and Fingers Salvatorio. The Italian style buffet also features American favorites like glazed ham and roast turkey.
T-REX Café
Downtown Disney
1676 E Buena Vista Dr
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830
(407) 828-8739
Step back in time when you eat at T-REX, an interactive prehistoric dining environment. Life-size animatronic dinosaurs and woolly mammoths as well as aquariums of live tropical fish offer guests a feast for both the tummy and the eye. Chow down on Layers of the Earth Lasagna or the Gigantosaurus Burger while exploring the many creatures among the waterfalls and geysers. There's even a fossil dig site for young explorers to play in and discover dino bones.
Rainforest Café
Downtown Disney
1800 E Buena Vista Dr
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830
(407) 827-8500
Rainforest Café is a favorite for families. Orlando has two locations, one at Disney's Animal Kingdom and the other in Downtown Disney. The tropical rain forest theme includes a combination of animatronic jungle animals and special effects. There's even a tropical "rain storm" with thunder and the sound of rain. And, of course, the food is delicious, too. The menu features something for everyone, including burgers, pastas, exotic salads, and tropical treats.
Pirate's Dinner Adventure
6400 Carrier Drive
Orlando, FL 32819
(407) 248-0590
Yo ho ho, me hearties. Don your pirate gear and head on over to Pirate's Dinner Adventure for an evening of exciting live performances, musical entertainment and a pirate's dinner feast. Cheer for your favorite pirate as the live show takes guests aboard a pirate ship for a sea adventure worthy of the largest treasure.
Medieval Times Dinner Show
4510 W.(192) Irlo Bronson Hwy
Kissimmee, FL 34742
Watch knights joust, see incredible horsemanship and falconry, and enjoy a four-course meal at Medieval Times Dinner Show in Kissimmee. BTW, be prepared to have fun and eat with your fingers like they did back in the day (but don't worry, if you insist they will bring out tableware). Before going to the castle for your evening show and meal, be sure to check out the eight cottage medieval village. This living history museum features artisans of the medieval period including coppersmiths, weavers, potters and blacksmiths.
Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show
9067 International Drive
Orlando, FL 32819
(407) 351-8800
Wonderworks in Orlando offers a nightly Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show. While the dinner is not an extravagant meal, (pizza, salad, popcorn, soda and dessert), the show is definitely worth the trip. The one-man show includes magic, high-energy comedy, impersonations and audience participation that will keep the whole family laughing. And beer and wine is included for the adults.`
