That boulevard cruiser, as you may recall, is the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS, a four-door exotic hardtop convertible, which in roadgoing spec is already pegged to pack 600 horsepower from its Chevrolet Corvette Z06-sourced 7.0-liter V8.
The GTR packs an extra one or two hundred horses (this time from a turbocharged 6.2-liter V8), and while its creators were initially hoping to claim the Nürburgring lap record for four-doors, that the racing model has just two doors – and makes no such claim – leaves us wondering where the plans changed.
The finished product is set to make the mid-April trip from The Hague to Monte Carlo for the Top Marques Monaco show, after which no more than 69 examples will be made available at €141,250 (before taxes, or roughly $185k) – which is significantly less than the €257,000 sticker price originally forecasted for the street version (around $335k). Follow the jump for the brief announcement and full specifications, and scope out the high-res images in the gallery for a closer look.
Nederland, Den Haag, 14 February 2012
'Savage Rivale shows their first official footage of the Savage Rivale GTR'
This racing version of its big brother (the roadyacht GTS), is built on the same platform but is equipped with a more powerful V8 engine with power configurations of around 700-800 BHP. The GTR combines this with a lower weight and is therefore the ultimate Boy-Toy weighing only 1030 kg. The best bang for your buck, only 69 will be hand built, securing its exclusivity
The Savage Rivale GTR will be unveiled @ the Top Marques Supercar show in Monaco the 19th of April 2012. Visit us on stand B4 in Monte Carlo, Monaco!

New Orientation Video on Consumer Choices
The Council has produced a video in which two consumers talk about the options available to consumer/employers for the PCA New Hire Orientation program. Deirdre explains why she chose the consumer taught option and Paul discusses why he had his PCA attend a group session.
Council and Union Agree to 1 Year Labor Contract
PCA wage rises to $13.68
The PCA Workforce Council and 1199SEIU, representing PCAs working in the MassHealth program, have reached agreement on a one year labor contract extension. The agreement raises PCA wages by 30¢ per hour to $13.68 cents. The contract also incorporates the ballot question passed by voters last year that provided paid sick leave for PCAs and other workers. The contract includes a side letter of agreement that "reflects the intent of the parties to enter collective bargaining negotiation for the July 1, 2016 – June 2019 contract … with a commitment to increase the rate to $15.00 per hour for all PCAs by July 1, 2018." Jack Boesen, Director of the Council, said, "reaching this agreement furthers the Council's mandate to stabilize and support the PCA workforce".

I have a personal aesthetic and design that this theme is ideal for -- I've been using polaroids for about half the year, and searching for a simple theme in the same vein that doesn't have the particular design elements, as it is the aesthetic I like.
Spun delivers that.
I would, personally (and solely personally) like to see theme options added that give greater flexibility over font/typeface style and size, incorporates automatic Drop caps, odds and ends to make it more useful for me, in other words. Since my blog is primarily longreads in nature, I appreciate a good theme that allows me to let people focus on the ideas, not the chrome, of the site.
I am not anyone special, but I like this theme, and the only reason it doesn't get higher is that I'm also a really picky sort who is just to damn lazy to write her code, so I love it when people do outstanding work like this.

Dimmers save energy and extend lightbulb life—that is, if you don't keep them set to full power. The Skylark Eco-Dim switch has a fixed maximum level 15 percent below a light's top capacity, so you can trim energy use with barely any perceptible loss of brightness, plus make your bulbs last four times longer. Approximately $26.50; Lutron.com

Once upon a time, my brother Al finds my scrap paper where I disorderly plan my Roomie scenarios upon (was that english?), he gets hold of my pencil and writes his own scenario down. (just the words)
I... I laughed.
And so had to draw it. And picked Adventure Time characters cuz... well

So random. I can't help but laugh.
I see, I see. Very interesting. :3
Wait wait, Skyrim?
Did you played the Skyrim's add on: Dawnguard ? 8D
you will find almost the same history of Marceline with his father.

all i can picture now is playing skyrim with portals
I..... don't get it. I feel terrible! D:
Heh, quite the stream-of-consciousness there...
This is brilliant
Cause random is my reason to be, make more please
Priceless. <3
You know, for Adventure Time it actually makes a little sense.

Toooootally Portal..
Yeah that was English lol.

I finally bit the Skyrim bug the other day... I can... HEAR it call me... whispering sweet seductions in my ear, wherever I am.
Don't worry, it'll let you see your friends and family again...in a few weeks.
I'm not sure if you are asking for clarification, but plan scenarios upon is correct. It's unusual though, "plan scenarios in" or "where I plan scenarios" Are more common phrasing.

sun in wrong place...cant believe im even thinking it...tell me when i made the mistake....uk
Poster Handle
Post Content
ok so i was putting the rubbish out for recycling and looked up to see the sun rising over the horizon...beautiful, stood freezing my tits off for a min looking at it when i realised that it was not in the east...
dont all start shouting at once, im probably wrong put it was def south east not east....i know where north is as i had an app on my last phone but i also have an old fashion compas too so ran into look for it and couldnt believe it...even got 17 y/o son to check it as he would understand it better as hes done 3 yrs at cadets and agreed...
please explain the mistake i made to me as i have always been one to poohoo the whole sun moving pole shift stuff but got to say...im more than alittle shocked!!!
If you get your hands on a globe it should be relatively obvious that in winter due to the earths inclination the sun appearing in the south east is entirely to be expected.
Anonymous Coward 29735994
^ this is correct. I found this info on Wikipedia this week doing some research. [
link to en.wikipedia.org
"The winter solstice is the solstice that occurs in winter. It is the time at which the Sun is appearing at noon at its lowest altitude above the horizon. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the Southern solstice, the time at which the Sun is at its southernmost point in the sky, which usually occurs on December 21 to 22 each year."

My only real complaint about Candlewood Suites is that breakfast is not provided. I believe it would be a wonderful addition and would help them compete with other Suite hotels that do offer breakfast.
Great place to stay in Terre Haute
July 18, 2016
The Candlewood Suites in Terre Haute is a good place to stay if you are in the region. The room was very comfortable and had a full kitchenette. The beds were comfortable and the bath room was a good size. It is within walking distance of the Indiana State campus and a couple of nice restaurants. We were able to walk to a local craft brewery and to Mogger's Brewery for a very good dinner.
Great Hotel

Comfortable bed and friendly staff

We would return to Candlewood Suites in Terre Haute. The staff was very friendly and the room clean.

I'm afraid I agree with Alan, KM - to a certain extent.I fear Modders won't be the player he was last season and think we should have taken the £40m or at least tested their resolve and gone for a player plus cash deal that included Sturridge or a decent defender.I say to a certain extent because unfortunately I agree with you, there's no way I'd have stuck that money in 'Arry's hand to spend.We could've ended up with Greavsie up front again!! Mind you, possibly better prospect than last season!!!

Wait...are they lesbians? I thought they were buddies? o.o
In the anime, the english version was butchered beyond all repair to make them be 'cousins'. In the actual anime in Japan, and in the manga, Haruka and Michiru are lesbians and a couple. Hope that cleared things up.
Booooo homophobic dubs.
Booooo homophobic dubs.
Ah! I get it!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Agreed! I was a kid and I still knew better than to believe they were 'cousins' so it didn't even work.
Lol, yeah. I didn't actually see all of the series until I was in High School, so this little tidbit of information was lost on me. I had to watch the series in Japanese to get the correct storyline. xD
Lol, it got so frustrating to me I stopped watching. Like the third movie, where the dub wouldn't even let Serena spank her own kid? Give me a break.
It's still on my list of goals to purchase the series and movies in Japanese.

Reviews for Austin Dog Alliance
3 people found this review helpful
My therapy dog and I just moved to the Austin area. Austin Dog Alliance came highly recommended by our former therapy dog group in Dallas. This organization does so many wonderful things for both people and dogs. The staff is simply amazing; friendly, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. Although I am a new member, I already feel at home and am privileged to work with some truly heroic people.

I have had the privilege of being associated with Austin Dog Alliance for the past several years both as a volunteer and as a client. The training staff has been wonderful with my rather difficult border collie. ADA is extremely supportive and appreciative of their volunteers.
This organization is awesom and the staff are fantastic.
I have been an active volunteer with Austin Dog Alliance for 9 years. Watching this non-profit grow and change to fit the needs of the community is what keeps me involved. They are not just a dog training facility,(although I have taken many dog training classes here and now have a wonderful therapy dog). Austin Dog Alliance has found a very unique niche for helping people, of all abilities, to understand that the bond between human and dog can be so rewarding. Using therapy dogs for Bow Wow Reading, visits to nursing homes and hospitals and even visiting university students stressed from studying for exams are a few examples. With the addition of the S.+C.O.R.E program (Students + Canines equal Opportunities for Rewarding Employment) and Hounds for Heroes, they are actively helping segments of our society that sometimes get forgotten and are under served. There are many volunteers like myself who have been involved for many years and will continue to volunteer to watch ADA continue to grow and be a major factor for a better human/dog community.
I've been a service dog trainer for over a year with ADA's Hounds For Heroes/Special Dogs For Special Needs programs. They rescue amazing dogs from shelters, rescue groups, etc. I've seen first hand how these dogs are changing lives in our community!
I have been a volunteer with Austin Dog Alliance for three years now. They certified my therapy dog and now we are able to volunteer around the Austin area at schools and UMC Brackenridge. They are extremely supportive and appreciative of their volunteers.
In addition to the pet therapy, ADA rescues dogs and trains them to be service dogs for Veterans and First Responders with PTSD. This program has helped so many individuals.
I highly recommend Austin Dog Alliance!
Austin Dog Alliance is a fantastic organization that reaches many. many levels in assistance and training. Whether you are looking for basic puppy classes to advanced manners, Therapy Dog Training, Service Dog Training, Volunteering or Canine Competition skills, ADA has the professional on staff to assist you.

Bassem Tellawi, Associated Press
BEIRUT — The United Nations' human rights chief called on the international community to protect Syrian civilians Friday as violence surged across the country, with hours of intense shooting that sent stray bullets whizzing across the border.
The new bloodshed came as activists reported a grim milestone in the 8-month-old revolt: November was the deadliest month of the uprising, with at least 950 people killed in gunbattles, raids and other violence as protesters demand the ouster of President Bashar Assad.
The U.N. estimates more than 4,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in the middle of March, inspired by the Arab Spring revolutions sweeping the Middle East.
"In light of the manifest failure of the Syrian authorities to protect their citizens, the international community needs to take urgent and effective measures to protect the Syrian people," Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Pillay on Thursday characterized the conflict in Syria as a civil war.
International intervention, such as the NATO action in Libya that helped topple Moammar Gadhafi, is all but out of the question in Syria. But the European Union, the Arab League, Turkey and others have piled on sanctions aimed at crippling the regime once and for all.
The EU's latest sanctions, which were announced Thursday, target 12 people and 11 companies with travel bans and asset freezes. They add to a long list of regime figures previously sanctioned by the EU, including Assad himself and high-ranking security officials.
The identities of those on the new list were made public Friday in the EU's official journal. They include the ministers of finance and the economy, as well as army officers.
Also on the list are the pro-government Cham Press TV and Al-Watan newspaper, as well as a research center that the EU says provides support to the Syrian military in acquiring equipment for the surveillance of demonstrators.
Three oil companies, which the EU statement said provide financial support to the regime, were also listed. They include the Syria Trading Oil Company, which is responsible for Syria's oil exports.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC also said Friday it will halt its operations in Syria to comply with the penalties.
The economic sanctions will limit the regime's access to cash at a time when Assad is relying more than ever on the support of the business classes.
Assad has spent years shifting the country away from the socialism espoused by his father, which helped boost a new and vibrant merchant class that transformed Syria's economic landscape — even as the regime's political trappings remained unchanged.
So far, the monied classes have clung to the sidelines, but if the economic squeeze reaches them, it could be a game-changer for the regime.
Despite Friday's diplomatic squeeze, violence continued.
The most serious violence appears to have occurred in the Syrian town of Talkalakh, where witnesses reported more than six hours of explosions and gunfire starting at 3 a.m.
"We were hearing strong explosions and the crack of heavy machine-gun fire," Ahmad al-Fahel, who lives on the Lebanese side of the border, told The Associated Press by telephone. "It sounded as if they were destroying the city."
The town is within walking distance from Lebanon, and at least two people were struck by bullets on the Lebanese side. They included an 11-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man, Lebanese security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

Multiple F0 Tracking in Solo Recordings of Monodic Instruments
This article is concerned with the F0 tracking in monodic instrument solo recordings. Due to reverberation, the observed signal is rather polyphonic and single-F0 tracking techniques often give unsatisfying results. The proposed method is based on multiple-F0 estimation and makes use of the a priori knowledge that the observed spectrum is generated by a single monodic instrument. The predominant F0 is tracked first and the secondary F0 tracks are then established. The proposed method is tested on reverberant recordings and show significant improvements compared to single-F0 estimators.

Explorers May Have Stopped By Polk
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
LAKELAND | Although there were no major early Spanish settlements in what is now Polk County, historians say the county certainly was visited by early explorers and Spanish missionaries many generations before the first white homesteader arrived in 1842.
Most major Spanish settlements were along the coasts.
Two major expeditions, however, likely passed through what is now Polk in the 16th century, according to historians.
The expedition of Panfilo de Narváez in 1527 was a disaster with only four out of 400 men surviving, turning up in Mexico some eight years later. De Narváez landed in the Tampa Bay area and may have crossed portions of what is now Polk.
In 1539 Hernando de Soto landed near in what is now Bradenton and headed inland before turning north.
Mike Denham, director of the Lawton Chiles Center for History at Florida Southern College, said there is a very strong possibility that the expedition encamped or at least passed near Lake Hancock because of the descriptions by chroniclers of the expedition.
"Every expedition took chroniclers with it to record the information learned, describe the areas and the discoveries," Denham said.
DeSoto's chroniclers described a lake that many historians believe fit the description of Lake Hancock.
After the explorers came the priests.
An article by historian Michael Gannon described notes from a Spanish priest in 1693, who reported about serving a rarely known tribe, the Jororo, from Orange County to the highlands of what is now Polk County.
Cantor Brown, in his book, "Florida's Peace River Frontier," said that orange trees were found growing throughout what is now Polk County by Army troops in the 1840s. He noted that Native Americans would not have planted them.

A question about balance
I Sail a 1979 27ft Sun Yacht. She drafts 4.6. The boat seems to lean back towards the stearn when she really gets going. The stearn dips at least 1 foot. Is this normal?
More details like what conditions are you discussing, the engine size, number of people in the cockpit ;) ! and so on.... would be helpful.
Yamas, I think it was 10-15 years ago that the QE2 (and you know they don't give that to average skippers) actually bottomed out and did some damage near Cape Cod (Mass.) because even THAT ship "squats" at speed and the stern lowers.
With any displacement hull, as you move faster and displace more water, you dig a "bigger hole" in the ocean, and the stern especially drops deeper into the hole. You probably could trim more bow-down, but then you might find the trim was wrong when you were sailing at slower speeds. Getting a hull design to "do" it all and "be" it all under all conditions, is quite a good trick.
If you've got weight added in the stern (tankage, batteries, anchors and chain, bigger than original engine?) you might try shifting it forward to see what difference it makes. Or sending a couple of heavy crew forward as ballast--that's sometimes a very good way to trim for conditions.
Thanks guys... She squats under power and while sailing. I have a 9.9 outboard. It happens even with one in the cockpit. It happens at about 5 to 6 mph on my GPS. Would adding more jib help maybe. I have a 160 genoa that i could use.
Six knots in a 27' boat is probably hull speed, and at that point yes, you certainly will be digging a hole in the water. And slipping into it. Trim what you can,don't worry too much about the squat.
Thanks bro
You might alleviate some of the squat under power by changing the tilt/trim on the outboard.

These cookies came out delicious! Mine came out very chewy because I accidently added the whole 1 1/2 cups of sugar to the cookie mixture instead of reserving the 1/2 cup for rolling balls in...yumm......! I'll make these again and again! Thanks for posting! :) Martha
Ditto to Charmie's comments. These are soooo darned good, and even make the house smell good while baking. I used Black Strap Molasses, we really like molasses here, and these were the best. Will be adding these to my cookies for gift making too as I am certain everyone will appreciate a box of these. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. The Dirty Pan Gang RULES!!!
This is an excellent spice cookie - crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. I added a little allspice, and will also try some cardamom next time. I just gave these a light roll through colored sugar (making some red and some green for Christmas) instead of coating them with regular sugar. Because colored sugar is usually more coarse than granulated sugar, I find it leaves a gritty texture if the cookie is completely coated in it. Thanks for a very good recipe.

Loeb had done his utmost to keep the pressure on Ogier during Saturday, and trimmed a few seconds from the Volkswagen's lead in the morning.
But Ogier responded in the afternoon, sharing the Sagen stage win with Loeb, and then setting the pace on the next two tests.
Loeb outpaced him by 1.1s on the short Hagfors Sprint, keeping the gap at 26.9 seconds with six stages to go.
The French duo have now left the rest of the field behind. Jari-Matti Latvala struggled with his VW on the second leg-two loop and lost third place to Mads Ostberg in the best of the Qatar M-Sport Fords. While Ostberg is 6.1s in front of Latvala, he trails Loeb by half a minute
Evgeny Novikov is taking it easy in a solitary fifth place. Fellow Qatar M-Sport man Juho Hanninen was edging away from team-mate Thierry Neuville until sliding into a snow bank on the Hagfors Sprint stage and losing sixth.
The recovering Dani Sordo is closing on ninth-placed Martin Prokop but will go into the final day still 35.8s adrift.

Balancing act: Fight workplace bullying with better communication skills
Changing a company's culture is never easy, but when bullying becomes endemic, it's time to act. If a company does so, even the worst cases of workplace bullying can be resolved. Maxfield wrote about problems faced by the major U.S. auto manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Bullying by foremen, the front-line supervisors, was a big problem," he wrote. "In fact, any visitor would quickly notice that supervisors were, as a rule, physically larger and more imposing than hourly workers. It was common for them to use their fists to get their way. It was a poisonous atmosphere where people were beat up, starting cycles of revenge and retribution.
"We helped to break the cycle by forming training teams that included both supervisors and union reps. These teams would co-train both foremen and hourly people how to resolve their differences using dialogue instead of fists."
This kind of dialogue training is VitalSmarts' business, so it's no surprise that Maxfield would be an advocate of it. But I think his suggestions make sense no matter what services his company offered.
As he pointed out in our interview, it's natural for people who feel attacked to go into "fight or flight" mode. If they choose "flight," they will avoid a bully, stay silent and retreat. If they choose "fight," they may show bullying behavior themselves.
"There are a lot of reasons that people feel threatened or attacked in today's workplaces," Maxfield wrote. "They may think their project or decision is at risk; they may think their promotion or their job is threatened; or they may think their idea or credibility is under attack. When these things happen, and people feel unsafe, a sizable percentage of us will go into fight mode.
"The solution is better skills for disagreeing and holding others accountable — dialogue skills — so that we don't have to go into 'fight or flight' mode."
I completely agree, and I think surveys like this one from VitalSmarts are an excellent first step toward raising awareness of the problem. Now our organizations need to go further and actually take steps to resolve it.
Some of you have already shared your personal stories of workplace bullying and how you tried to overcome it. I would appreciate hearing any other ideas you may have. I'll share some of them in a future column and hopefully we'll all find ideas that will help us take action to stop workplace bullying.

Recommendations for software or applications are off-topic here — Ask such questions on Software Recommendations (http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com) instead.
Note: There is a site for asking for software recommendations: SoftwareRecs.SE.
software-rec deals with all questions referring to recommendations for software or applications for particular purposes that will run on the local computer.
We often consider software recommendation questions off topic because they can be subjective, open ended, and might lead to polling.
How to write a good
software-rec question?
First of all, read the following Meta Super User post:
Software recommendations should be specific. "What is the best …" is usually not a good starting point, as it leads to biased answers. When writing a question looking for specific software recommendations, make sure to include an aspect that can be objectively measured, for example:
- performance (execution speed)
- usability
- feature richness
- compatibility with hardware or other software
- free and open source vs. paid and closed source
- et cetera

Stephanie is a homeschooling mama of two. Montessori learning and Artful homeschooling fill her days with creativity, learning, and work. Her daughters are Bunny who is in second grade, and Pup who is 4. She blogs about learning, life, and discovery over at Discovery Moments. Her blog is so truthful, relatable and authentic. She's also a wonderful blog friend and is so supportive of her fellow homeschoolers. I just love her.
1 | When did you start introducing Montessori in your home? My Montessori journey began back in the summer of 2010. Bunny (who is now 7) was only 4 at the time and I was trying to think ahead to how we would school her. I loved Montessori, but we could not afford to send the girls to the school. So I went to the library and dug up every book they had on Montessori! And before I knew it I started making trays for Bunny in the kitchen using anything I had. I think my very first tray was a cookie sheet with two Pyrex bowls, some beans and a spoon! A couple of weeks later, I had decided that homeschooling would work, that I needed Montessori materials, and now was when it needed to happen. By fall we were ready for school to begin and I was excited! Learning and the Montessori concepts quickly became a regular part of our life and home.
2 | What are your favorite Montessori-inspired spaces in your home? Well personally I love, love, love, our school room! What I love is that it is beautiful. There was really something to Maria Montessori's requirement of a beautiful space for children to learn. I think that having things well-organized, pretty, and always ready make learning more natural. When you want something it's there, when you have a project there is space, and when you are there for a long time you enjoy it because the space feels good to be in. That is how I feel about it. Another room that I love for the girls is, and you will laugh, the bathroom. Our small half bath is perfect for little ones! There has never been a toddler yet who doesn't head in there, climb on the stool and try to wash their own hands. It is right in the middle of the main level of the house and the door works better left open. It just calls to kids to try and do it themselves (much to the dismay sometimes of my mommy friends when their little ones are soaking wet). They can wash their hands, clean their own faces, and get their own drink of water. A couple of years ago a redecorated their rooms so that they were a good space for each of them. Bunny needed a space to work and places to display her favorite things, plus a closet where things could be stored (so they don drive me crazy). She has her clothes in the dresser and it is easy for her to put things away. Plus moving the bed into the corner allowed her more space to create LEGO creations! Pup needed somewhere for her clothes to go and a place to keep books! So I put some shelves in her closet with baskets for her clothes and gave her a bookshelf and a desk. Everything is there is at her height and easy for her to navigate. However, things are slowly moving and I can see us changing things around soon enough as they keep growing!
3 | How do your children benefit from a Montessori home? I think that they are really independent. My girls like to do things themselves and they like to create new things. Plus they are able to get what they need, and put away what they don't. This teaches a lot of care for the home as well as takes some pressure off of me. We ask a lot of questions, read a lot of books, and try out new ideas! That is what I wanted for my girls and making sure the house supports that is important to me! To be honest there is a lot of benefits that I don't even see! The things that they go off to do or make aren't always shown to me. They are learning and exploring and I don't always know. And this is a good thing I think. It means that they are doing it themselves because they need to not because I told them to! This is something that I think having a Montessori home supports.
4 | What advice do you have for a parent who wants to start implementing Montessori principles in the home? Start simple. The Montessori method is about more than the beautiful materials. It is a way to interact with your child and to help them explore the world that they are a part of. So get a table, and buy a shelf. Then start with simple trays for them. Sure having pink tower and knobbed cylinders is a great thing, but you really can teach the same things with some nesting blocks, and some nuts and bolts. This is something I learned the expensive way! ;) Another thing that I really recommend is to read Maria Montessori's work. It's a little hard to get into, but it offers a lot more insight into the method then reading about what others have interpreted it to mean! So make sure that you research well and understand the method because that is what is going to lead to your success! Finally remember that your kids are kids! You will have meltdowns, fits, and "I hates schools" statement even if your home looks like a perfect Montessori school. Why? Because they are in their home, their safe space, and their place to be what they are without pressure to be perfect all the time. As such, the normalization of a Montessori classroom is hard to get at home. So know it will never look the same and embrace it! They may have fits instead of sitting in perfect concentration on some days, but you will always share those moments of pure joy of success in deeper way then you ever could if they were in school!
That's the end of our Montessori Tour of Homes. I hope you've enjoyed seeing the Montessori spaces and learning a little bit about why other families are using Montessori principles in their homes. It's always fun to get inspired by other people's homes. Or at least it is for me. Friday Five is cancelled this week. I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. xo, Lori

MMA: Sonnen breaks down GOP race, Silva
Move over Bill O'Reilly. Back away from the mike Chris Matthews. Don't even try it Sean Hannity. There is a new political pundit in town and he can ground-and-pound all those talking heads into submission.
OK, UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen is currently focused on winning a world title, but that doesn't mean he can't break down the Republican presidential candidates, who are currently blasting each other in a Super PAC-backed GOP free-for-all in South Carolina.
Sonnen knows a little something about hyping a fight, trashing his opponent and then beating them inside the octagon. Same as politcis. He also once ran for the Oregon House of Representatives as a Republican. With the South Carolina primary approaching on Saturday, who is Sonnen's pick to win the Republican party's nomination?
"It's a little bit disappointing to me as a fan," Sonnen said. "I was a Herman Cain guy. I was backing Herman Cain back when he was at one percent. I liked the 9-9-9 program. I liked his straight talk. I liked when they asked him a question and if he doesn't know the answer he says, 'I don't know the answer.' He took a little heat in the media for that, but I find that very refreshing.
"When Herman pulled out I was also a Trump supporter. I was made to look like a fool. Everybody told me Trump's not going to run. He's just doing this as a publicity stunt. I fell for it. I thought he really was going to run. So the two guys I had the most excitement about ... neither of them ran. I had hopes for Jeb Bush. I had hopes for Dan Quayle, but I don't think Dan Quayle has interest in doing anything ever again."
Who is Sonnen's favorite among the remaining candidates?
"I'm kind of a man without a country. I think I'll go look at (Mitt) Romney. I struggle with him being a flip flopper. I struggle with his ties to Massachusetts. I struggle with some of his belief systems, but that doesn't mean he is not a good, astute guy that knows business and can help take us in the right direction. But I'm not won over yet."
What about Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry or Ron Paul?
"I really liked Rick Perry," Sonnen said. "He shot himself in the foot and that's hard to recover from and that ship's definitely got holes in it. It's sinking pretty slowly, but I do like him. I like any governor of Texas for that matter. Newt Gingrich is the smartest guy in the race, but he has too much baggage and I don't think it would carry over to a general election. In a primary, you're just not going to get through with that many divorces on your record.
"Everybody seems to like Ron Paul. He's a cute old man, but he's pretty far out there on a couple of topics, especially, foreign affairs and Iran and that's showing in the polls. But everybody likes him, me included. He's a very likeable guy. He's intelligent and he speaks clearly."
It doesn't look like Sonnen will be endorsing anybody in the near future.
"This particular field is hurting a little bit," Sonnen said. "There's always a hope of a third party candidate. We'll see if that happens."
Meanwhile, Sonnen found out on Tuesday he will be facing Michael Bisping, who is replacing injured mark Munoz, in a No. 1 contender's match at UFC on Fox 2 on Jan. 28 in Chicago, Ill. Sonnen had been preparing to face Munoz, a former NCAA national wrestling champion, and now he is facing Bisping, a pure striker, on two weeks notice.
"I feel as if it goes both ways," Sonnen said. "Before you ever do a poor-me thing, you gotta understand it goes both ways. He was getting ready to take on a non-wrestler in Demian Maia, who brings a whole separate set of skills to the table. Now he's getting ready to mix it up with me. It's really a level playing field. It's not what either of us were ready for.
"You gotta understand I'm a wrestler. I come from a wrestling background. Every Saturday since I was 9 years old I would show up at a tournament and I would take on four, five, six guys. I had no idea who they were. Once I finally knew who showed up I wanted to know who the second, third and fourth match was because it was tournament format. You never knew who was going to win and advance to the next round. So you never really knew who you were going to take on. I really don't care. All I can do is make sure I'm ready. I'll be ready, I'll be in shape, I'll be sharp and when my music hits those speakers I'll make that walk regardless of who is coming out behind me."
The Sonnen-Bisping winner becomes the No. 1 contender for UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Sonnen had Silva all but beat before getting caught in a triangle-armbar in the fifth round at UFC 117. Sonnen said Silva has turned down four opportunities to face him in a rematch.
"Don't fall for the hype," Sonnen said. "Anderson Silva and I are never going to fight again under any circumstance in any parallel universe you are not going to see that fight happen again. It is a No. 1 contender's bout and when I get that golden voucher and punch my way onto the finals I will make an announcement on whether I'm going to take on (UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre) GSP or (UFC light-heavyweight champion) Jon Jones. I do intend to hold (UFC president) Dana (White) to his word and I will cash that in for a title shot. But I promise you it will not be against Anderson Silva."
After his spectacular first-round KO over Chad Mendes at UFC 142 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, UFC feaherweight champion Jose Aldo ran out of the octagon and into the crowd to celebrate with his countrymen in one of the most unique post-fight celebrations in UFC history.
"My fans give me so much love and good energy, so there's nothing better than celebrating with them," Aldo said. ...
The UFC has decided to postpone UFC 145, which was scheduled for March 24 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, because the promotion was having problems finding a worthy main event, according to a report by the Canadian Press. Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press first reported the news via Twitter, saying, "UFC postpones March show in Montreal, citing scheduling complications and desire to deliver 'championship card.'" Most of the bouts slated for UFC 145 will be moved to the April 21 pay-per-view in Atlanta, Ga. The UFC has not announced when it would return to Montreal, but some have speculated it could be in November. UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre underwent knee surgery last month and the Canadian champion announced he will resume training in July and be back in action next winter, which would make for a perfect time for the UFC to return to Montreal. ...
Former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone after his second-round KO victory over Lorenz Larkin at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine on Jan. 7 in Las Vegas, the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed on Tuesday. Drostanolone, also known as Drolban, is an anabolic steroid popular in the bodybuilding community and commonly used for cutting weight. ...
The day the NSAC announced Lawal's positive drug test the UFC announced that all potential UFC and Strikeforce signees would be subject to its new pre-contract screening policy for performance-enhancing drugs. All incoming fighters to the UFC and Strikeforce, which are both owned by Zuffa, will be tested prior to finalizing a contract,
"We're committed to the health and safety of our athletes and we take it very seriously," UFC chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta said. "We already work closely with athletic commissions to protect our athletes and now we're taking it one step further. We're going to test any potential UFC or STRIKEFORCE fighter before finalizing their contract. This shows that we don't want performance-enhancing drugs in our sport." ...
ProElite MMA and Dream, the largest Japanese MMA organization, have formed a promotional partnership and fighter exchange program, the two companies announced on Tuesday. The alliance will foster co-promoted events in the U.S. and Japan with fighter exchanges featured on the cards of both promotions. The first fighter exchange debuts when Dream star Ikuhisa "Minowaman" Minowa takes on Kendall Grove at ProElite 3 on Saturday at 7 p.m. on HDNet in Honolulu, Hawaii. ...
Melvin Guillard vs. Jim Miller
When: Friday, 6 p.m.
Where: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tenn.
Outlook: Lightweight contenders Melvin Guillard (29-9-2) and Jim Miller (20-3) meet in the main event of UFC on FX 1.
Prediction: Guillard is extremely dangerous in the first five minutes of a fight when his reflexes, lightning-fast hands, athletic ability and KO power make him one of the most dangerous 155-pounders in the game. Miller is a smart and tough fighter with decent hands. If he can get the fight to the ground, he will have a significant advantage with his submission attempts and ground-and-pound. Miller will withstand Guillard's early onslaught and pull out the victory.
Record in 2012 picks: 1-0

I used the Pendrivelinux software to change the ISO to USB and it said complete. I then took the USB, plugged it into my computer and at the screen that pops up before the Windows logo I pressed F12. The only thing I could choose was Windows 7.

Very nice!
Can't seem to get the lowest times in some stages, unfortunately.
Sometimes the game doesn't automatically restart when I die, but that doesn't get in the way.
Thank you :) There was some fairly stiff competition with this game when it was released between me and my friend so it might be difficult. Thanks for playing it!
really, this gaùe is awesome :) The music is good, and the story is so funny... Really, i liked it a lot !
hard and cool
Well, the game was itself very well done. Its main flaw was that it was pretty much impossible to beat. I find it kind of stupid to be killed by just falling too low. I don't want realism in video games! I do, however, love the overall format. It's just as good as the previous games.
It's not as good though, because it's so hard. It's interesting to see all the little obstacles you have everywhere. It took real creativity to make this. Too bad I don't know how to use my jumps on the second level. Help?
