Have you registered for a SchoolLoop account?
Most returning 7th and 8th graders and their parents already have accounts and can simply log in using the same username and password as last year.
For students new to Stanley, creating an account is simple. Click on the "Register Now" button on the left side of this screen. You will be asked for some important information. Parents will go through a similar process and need the same basic information as students. Much of the information requested is obvious, but you are required to know the student's ID number. You can find this on the schedule that was distributed on the first day of school. It is the number listed as "Perm ID#." It is common to mistake this number for the "Student #" - but use the "Perm ID#"!!!
We also recommend that students have and use their own email accounts when they set up their School Loop account. This is because many teachers use SchoolLoop to create and monitor online classroom discussions, a feature that is only open to students enrolled in their classes.
Once you have an account, we encourage you to browse around the features, see what's happening in your (or your child's) classrooms and get comfortable navigating around the various options available on your "Portal."
We look forward to a great year! Stay in the Loop!

Homework Help is Back!
In addition to our Math Study at lunch and after school, we are pleased to present Homework Help sponsored by the Stanley PTA. Homework Help is grade specific. That means that we have one classroom open for each grade level with teachers ready to help. Homework Help meets Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Monday and Wednesday for 8th graders) from 3:00-4:00 in the locations listed below. Students attending Homework Help will have a place to complete homework and get academic assistance from a grade level teacher in Core/English, History & Science. This is a drop‐in program, but we will ask students to sign‐in and sign-out upon departure. If a student finishes before they end of the hour, they are permitted to sign-out. Students are asked to use the restroom and have a snack before entering the Homework Help room. Please encourage your students to take advantage of this valuable opportunity!

This decadent shave cream from gives you a mighty close shave without leaving legs devoid of moisture—and is made in the U.S. from eco-friendly ingredients. And, unlike its distant peers, this formula is designed not to foam up: instead, the rich lotion is chock full of organic and natural botanicals that soften skin. A moisturizing base of omega-rich squalene, organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil protects against the redness and irritation associated with shaving, while organic green tea extracts infuse skin with antioxidants.
I must have missed entirely that this product was scented. Because it smells like my husband's shaving cream. There are times in which this product may be useful, but I don't want to smell like shaving cream - ever. Regardless of any scents that are added, it still smells like what it is - shaving cream. Very smooth and effective product, just not appealing to my senses.2
I have never used an actual cream for shaving before and honestly wasn't impressed. I felt like I was shaving with lotion. It did make my legs feel soft and smooth however it clogged my razor. Also it's hard to tell what's been shaved and what hasn't. I think I'll stick to my $3 shaving cream.3

Populating a tropical archipelago
What combination of monsters would you expect to find occupying the land and waters of a tropical island chain?
It's been a while since I ran a seafaring adventure (AD&D Savage Coast days, in fact) and I need some help creating an island chain where the adventurers can plunder, fight, and otherwise violently upset delicate ecosystems.
My initial thoughts were: kobolds on the islands (fishers/hunter-gatherers); locathah and sahuagin in the waters; perhaps a kraken BBEG; and, of course, plenty of human and half-orc pirates floating about.
Any uber-appropriate beasties spring to mind?

Does D&D still have bullywugs? I can't even remember. But I think brightly-colored frogmen that turn out to have poisonous skin might be a cool surprise. They would, of course, apply their poison to all their weapons, but they'd use it most effectively when ganging up in a grapple attack. Make it a paralytic rather than a CON drainer, and they could capture the the PCs for some horrible--possibly religious--purpose.
As a general rule, I think poison, parasites, and disease are the way to go. Those things make the tropics of our own world horrifying despite the nice weather. As in that bullywug example, making any regular critter poisonous could work (especially if you give the players the subtle warning of unusually bright coloration). And basically any wound left un-attended in the tropics could require some fort checks for disease. For the life of me, though, I can't think of any parasite monsters. Man, there have got to be some.
I think lizardfolk would fit in nicely. Also, plant critters like shambling mounds, tendriculos, and assassin vines would be cool in the jungle. Chuul would work nicely along the coast.
Oh, and don't forget that tropical archipelagos often have volcanoes. You could definitely do a lot with that. Fire critters, sacrifices, lava-lit cavern areas, eruptions...

Lizards, turtles, monkeys, birds, crabs, wierd insects. Plenty of templates. Various sizes and varieties but those would be the themes, so perhaps dinosaurs for lizards and monstrous beetles of some kind for the insects

Zombies, Nazis, Voodoo druids, pirates, piranha, mudmen, dinosaurs, dire apes, cannibals, tourists, polar bears (obligatory "Lost" nod), and castaways.
It really depends on your overall genre/theme, the type of island chain it is, and what other things you've got surrounding the islands...things like that. Personally I think I could put almost anything in an island chain without making it stand out too much, because there's just such a wealth of media and fiction references you could draw upon to make things stick. Want a castle on an island for a dungeon crawl? It's an old prison, or a castle from somewhere else brought over piece by piece to the island by vampires. Strange experiments from mad scientists with accents explain almost anything. Need a rest and relaxation spot? Plenty of places to just steal entirely from real life. Undead, things with gills, etc? Done. Armored soldiers? Picked directly from Spanish Conquistador references, done.
Part of the fun with islands is that they're distinct and separate, what goes on on one island doesn't have to mix much with the others. That's episodic D&D adventuring at its most pure, IMO.

Stormwrack has some aquatic critters in it
Then there are sharks, squid, octopi, kraken, dinosaurs, sea serpents, dragon eels, merfolk, aquatic elves, sahaguin (sp), ixi... (those smart manta ray things)
For the land you could have ruins with yuan-ti. There are also some nagas that do well w/water.
Aren't there some sort of small froglike creatures - grippli I think.

Taming the #!*?@!! VCR
Never in Recording History Have So Few Done So Much for So Many
So, Yuen, 42, teamed up with fellow scientist Daniel Kwoh, 42, a coworker at TRW Space & Technology Group in Redondo Beach, Calif., and set out to take the pain out of VCR programming. The result: VCR Plus, a hand-held device that lets you set up a recording simply by punching in a 4-to 8-digit code number. The device works with all wireless VCRs. All you need do is look up the code for the program you want to record (codes are printed in the TV listings of 350 newspapers and in TV Guide) and grab the gizmo.
Since the system's introduction in November 1990, some 3 million VCR Plus units have been sold (at about $60 a pop) in the U.S., Canada and Britain. Yuen and Kwoh's Pasadena-based Gemstar Development Corp., launched in 1986 with a $50,000 bank loan, now employs about 100 people and earned about million last year. Licensing arrangements could eventually add another $10 million in royalties annually—and that's before Yuen and Kwoh begin planned expansion into Europe, Japan and South America.
None of which, however, has changed the lives of the two Shanghai natives who met as graduate students at the California Institute of Technology. Now co-owners of Gem-star with six other major investors, they still run the firm from a modest Pasadena office suite and have kept their TRW jobs besides. Yuen, who, like his partner is married with two children, even has a third job, working twice a week as a business-law attorney. "We're very successful," explains Kwoh. "But we don't assume it will always be that way."

I wanted to clone my offline test site (localhost with XAMPP) to a live subdomain on our Web hosting service. I've used WP Clone previously and it's always worked well. This time, however, I received the following message:
The plugin encountered an error while downloading the zip file, the following error message was returned:
Error Message: A valid URL was not provided.
Temporary files created in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/wp-content/wp-clone-temp will be deleted.
I was able to fix the problem by following directions supplied in another post here. I simply copied the WP Clone zip backup file from the offline site into the same location on the new, live, subdomain. I then used the restore from backup feature once again, from the live subdomain site, and this time it worked. The offline test site was successfully cloned to the new, live, subdomain location, and everything (plugins, widgets) work as intended.
On a related note, it is good to know that, at least in my experience, WP Clone works well with WP version 3.7.1. It's a great product, in my opinion.
If anyone else knows of a better way of handling this issue (or of a way of avoiding this problem), please post relevant information. Thank you!

Google kills two more products
Google is cutting back heavily on its products and services. With the closing down of uploads to Google Video, Catalog Search, Notebook, Dodgeball, Jaiku and Mashup Editor one could think Google was ready with its cutbacks for now. But no such thing.
Today we see yet two more products being cancelled: Print Ads and iGoogle for the iPhone. Print Ads will stop at the end of February, iGoogle for the iPhone is killed right away. The question is: what's next? Google Reader?
Print Ads
On the Google blog Spencer Spinnell, Director of Google Print Ads, explains :
iGoogle for the iPhone
"Hey everyone, I have an update for you. We've decided to direct iPhone users to the standard mobile iGoogle page. We've found that people hit iGoogle from lots of different phones — we want to ensure you'll all see the same version. Most or all of your existing content should translate over to the standard mobile version. The only exception would be any gadgets that aren't compatible with most mobile browsers."
A lot of users are, to say the least, not amused by the closure of iGoogle for the iPhone. At a Google forum they complaint about the lower user experience.

- A teachers-only workshop: Journalism teachers can learn about changes in the industry, particularly regarding social media and alternative publishing options.
- Electronic competition entries: We will accept competition materials via email (for writing categories only).

Dana Farber/Jimmy Fund
Keep up the great work that you do for the children. You make all of us proud to be from this great area where so many medical advancements are made each and every day.
I am giving total of $ 50.00 to the Jimmy Fund on July 5th the death of Ted williams and on August 30, 2013 the birthday of ted williams $25.00 each day. In honor of Ted Williams. I have had sink cancer in my life time
In March of 2013 I was diagnosed with Adrenocortical carcinoma, a very rare cancer of the adrenal gland. I had my surgery in May 2013 to remove the tumor, and now I am a patient at Dana Farber. I have found all the people, doctors and nurses wonderful to deal with. As I am just starting out with my chemo treatments, I know that I am in good hands. Thank you WEEI for all that you do with the telethon and helping Dana Farber raise money for further research to "strike out cancer"
Godspeed to EVERYBODY involved in any aspect of the tremendous work done by the Jimmy Fund: patients and their families, doctors, nurses, researchers, care-givers, WEEI and NESN, the Red Sox ... EVERYBODY! Thank you and God bless you all!
I was diagnosed in 1984 with a rare form of rhabdo miyo sarcoma. By most estimates I had less than a 5% chance of survival. A family friend said my parents needed to get me to Children's and the Jimmy Fund. Shortly after Labor Day we packed up and moved to Brookline. For two years I went through chemo and radiation. As bad as it was at times, to this day I am grateful for the Red Sox, the Jimmy Fund, Children's Hospital and the thousands of people who have donated from their hearts.
My gift this year is in memory of Leah Tepper. She touched so many people in a very special way. When the little things in daily life bother us we would all do well to remember Leah's smile and courage.
A little girl with a rare form of brain cancer who is now in remission has taught me with positivity the world is possible. You are all very brave and always look to smile life is precious!love you little miss alli
A few years ago I was on the telethon during my battle with ALCL. I'm now getting ready to finish up my last few days at my first summer job before starting my senior year in high school. I never would have gotten here without the Jimmy Fund. Please donate so more wonderful little children can make it to a day like this.
I volunteered today and had the opportunity to speak to the wonderful people that donated to the Jimmy Fund. So thankful to be part of such a great cause and to be able to speak to amazing people and talk to them about why the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber are important to them.
Truly blessed.
I'm orig. from Lynn, MA. now living in Charleston S>C>. GOD Bless your GREAT work w/ the Telethon ever Y ear.
I challenge my Fellow Veterans 2 donate.
Six years ago I lost both my brother and father to this disease. Six months later, I was diagnosed. I am now a 5 year survivor and try to give a little every year. The stories are heart wrenching and bring back so many memories that I find myself unable to listen. I encourage everyone to help this noble cause and help out a child and their family during difficult times.
Each year I look forward to the telethon. Listening to everyone share their stories and the great job everyone does to make these 2 days happen. I have lost my Dad,many friends to cancer and some special people in my life today fighting this disease. You all are an inspiration to me and I want to thank you for showing me "how each day in our lives is so precious". Thank you WEEI,Dana Faber and the Jimmy Fund.
God Bless
Peg McGowan
Our Daughter Mila Rose Palhais, now 4 years old, was diagnosed last winter with a rare eye cancer that has since claimed her left eye. Her eye was removed this June and she is learning how to now go through life with vision in only 1 eye. She is making great strides towards becoming a cancer survivor. It will take time, many more tests, and certainly many more trips to Boston, but we are in it to win it! We have learned so much while going through this journey with cancer in our lives. It is amazing to watch our daughter fight this cancer creature with ease. Her strength makes us stronger. We owe so much to Dana Farber, The Jimmy Fund Clinic, Children's Hospital and Mila's team of doctors. Without them, we as a family would not be where we are today. Thank you Weei and NESN for helping in this fight against cancer. Your efforts help make so many things possible for all families touched by cancer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I lost one of my best friends to lung cancer, another friend to breast cancer and an aunt and an uncle to stomach cancer. My cousin is in the final stages of bladder cancer. What great work by Dana Farber! Keep it up.
my mom lost her younger son my young brother steven paul mehegan to lieukemia since i am now an only child when it came time to give my brother a bone marrow transplant my mom & dad were not the correct match it turned out i was the correct match for my mom's younger son my brother i gave him 6 more years to live to which if i had not gave him 6 more years he needed he would have passed away i feel extrememly brave i know the bone marrow transplant was done at the childrens hospital in boston i still tear up when i think of my brother i feel ver proud of what i did had i not done it sooner
Great job guys, we're so looking forward to the next 2 days! You do a great job, and this Telethon highlights the doctors, nurses, and especially, the beautiful kids at our Jimmy Fund!
What wonderful work you do! I am proud to be from New England and to have such great professionals available here!

Loads of luxury in former government digs right on the river.
Created from the former home of the Greater London Council, the London Marriott Hotel County Hall occupies a plumb riverside location right opposite the Houses of Parliament and adjacent to the London Eye. The entrance is on the south side of Westminster Bridge and has to be one the grandest of any hotel in London, occupying the whole of the original County Hall courtyard. The 200 bedrooms and suites are well furnished in traditional style, and many have river views; all have satellite TV, but free Wi-Fi is restricted to Gold and Platinum Elite members of the Marriott Rewards program. Each room is equipped with high-speed Internet, a large work space, laptop sized safe and luxury robes and slippers. Guests can enjoy complimentary use of the Club at County Hall, featuring an indoor pool and gym. Dining options include Gillray's and the Library Lounge. But with the choices on offer just a few minutes walk from the front door, guests would be foolish to miss out on the riverside restaurants and bars that Londoners flock to on weekends.

Things I hate about the club
Evening gents. I look into this forum every now and then and have finally decided to get myself an account so I can vent my anger!
As a long time supporter, it boils my blood to see our club become the B*TCHES of London.
1. For a start, what's with that emblem? Am I the only one who thinks it makes us look gay? Get rid of the stuck up cockerel! I want to see a lion there.
2. To dare is to don't! We need to change the F***ING motto. What sort of creepy motto is that, I ask you. Play us if you dare sounds much better.
3. Yids, they need to pump some serious money in or p*ss off to another club. We need a quality manager with at least 7 quality players. I see Harry as a half measure to stop the rot. The best we will do with him is 7th or 8th which is not good enough.
I know a lot of you youngsters these days are gay and don't have clue about football or the origins of our club, and are probably happy with a mediocre mid table place, but I'm not! I'm thinking about forming an action group to get this club back on the rails. You're either with us or against us.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
You dont know a thing about Spurs do you matey. Change the club emblem ??? Old Harry Hotspurs would stick you with his lance in your sleep me ole flower....... Tell you what. Why dont we just forget about Bruce castle as well and play in flowery board shorts on a beach and call ourselves the ex lilly white board wasters. That way all ties with the Lane would be well and truely gone and we could have an ice cream at half time..... Our Arry is a bloody good manager and he will prove it given time and money. As for your action group............. i shudder to think of the sort of freaky action your after.....you should hang around the Emirates more often, they would like you there. Bye bye matey..

Posh manager Darren Ferguson has no injury issues to contend with as Peterborough look to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season against Crawley at London Road.
Joe Newell is fit again after a hand injury and the midfielder is expected to feature for the development squad next week in a friendly fixture.
Ferguson's side made it six wins from six matches as they swept aside Reading in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night. The Posh boss made four changes for the second-round tie and admits those players that came into the team have given him food for thought.
"I have a difficult decision to make," said Ferguson. "The four players that came into the starting line-up did very well against Reading, but I know in my mind what I am going to do and the players will know on Friday."
Striker Emile Sinclair could make his Crawley debut against his former side just 24 hours after completing a £100,000 transfer from Peterborough.
Sinclair signed a two-year deal with the Reds and could be thrown straight into the starting line-up at London Road.

Jesus Gonzalez Overcomes Sierra in Bloody Phoenix War
By Chris LaBate
US Airway Centre, Phoenix, Arizona - In a fight fought over the contracted super middleweight limit, Francisco Sierra (24-4-1, 22KOs) and Jesus Gonzalez (27-1, 14KOs) waged a bloody war for twelve rounds. The fight was close for the first six rounds, but Gonzalez pulled away in the second half of the fight. Both boxers were cut and suffered knockdowns. The scores were 117-109, 116-110 and 115-111 for Gonzalez.
It was bombs away in the first round. Both boxer trading big punches at close range. After some back and forth brawling, a hard shot to the body dropped Sierra to his knees in the fourth round. In the fifth round, a huge right hand from Sierra sent Gonzalez down and almost out. Gonzalez was able to beat the count and he was lucky the knockdown came in the closing seconds of the round.
Sierra was hurt to the body once again in the seventh round. In the eight, a bad cut was opened above the left eye of Gonzalez. Sierra's cut, also around his left eye, ripped open and started flowing red. They were tired but still trading shots in the ninth and tenth rounds. Because Sierra was exhausted in the eleventh and twelfth rounds, Gonzalez was able to dominate most of the action.
Junior middleweight prospect Janks Trotter (5-0, 5KOs) scored a crushing knockout over Arturo Crespin (6-2-1, 2KOs) in the second round. Crespin got caught and dropped in the first round. In the second, Trotter landed a blasting straight right hand that sent Crespin down on his face and the fight was stopped.
Rising super featherweight contender Yuandale Evans (15-0, 11KOs) stopped Emmanuel Lucero (26-7-1, 14KOs) in the sixth round.
Lucero was dropped down hard in the first from a right hook to the chin. At the end of the second round, Lucero went down again from another quick counter. In the third round, Lucero started bringing the fight to Evans when he trapped him against the ropes. Evans controlled the fourth with the two of them trading punches at the end of the round. In the sixth, a hard left hand put Lucero down for the third time in the fight. After taking more punishment, Lucero's corner stopped the fight.
Man, this was a great fight. Definatily one of the fights of the year.Comment by vacon04 on 07-09-2011
Good entertaining fight, Gonzalez deserved to win, although Sierra did his best. Anyway it was obvious that Sierra was not at 100%, since he was extremely tired during the last rounds.Comment by Zarco on 07-09-2011

Ratings for Dr. Doug Mirsky
Amazing Doctor, very compassionate and willing to listen and spend time with me. I'm very lucky to have him as a doctor.
I saw Dr. Mirsky about 2 years ago and he was absolutely amazing. He was kind and patient and seemed to genuinely care for my concerns. He really made sure that I was completely at ease and that all my questions were answered. I felt like I was in good hands. Everything went well with the surgery. I wish more doctors were like him.
I recently became aware of this site or I would have written 1n 1998 to express my gratitude to Dr. Doug Mirsky for his competence and caring during my surgery for breast cancer that year. Dr. Mirsky operated again in 2009 for a second, unrelated breast cancer. Both times he was there for me every step of the way calming my fears and giving me the confidence I needed during that time. He is outstanding in his field, going above and beyond for his patients. You would have to look far to find a more skilled and compassionate surgeon. He is one of a kind.
Hard to accept the truth once you know it in the first time..I'm only one daughter in the family with 5 brothers and I was diagnosed for breast cancer, and I'm so lucky that I got Dr. Mirsky to be my surgeon. He is an excellent surgeon who always have the time to explain everything in detailed especially to those people like me doesn't know medical term. He is very compassionate, caring and very thoughtful in every ways.His bedside manner is excellent.He is my angel here in Canada and will remain so. GOD is good that HE provided me a very excellent surgeon. THanks Dr. Doug Mirsky.. Becks
Dr. Doug Mirsky writes down what he tells you, so that you can re-read it when better able to grasp it all. How wonderful is that? He is kind, thoughtful (warms his hands prior to examinations), knowledgeable (follows higher standards of practice than currently required here), and skilled (his incisions are a work of art). Anyone referred to him should thank their lucky stars that they are in the hands of the best breast surgeon in our area!! Linda R.
Dr. Mirsky is one of the best Dr.'s I have met; he is friendly, caring and does not make you feel rushed at all. His 'bedside' manner is terrific and it took no time at all before my nervous, apprehensive and very modest daughter was calm and relaxed with him. He explained in detail what was going to happen before, during and after her surgical procedure and after only a few days, she was back to work and in very little pain.
I recently had to have an infection incised and drained on my breast. If it wasn't for Dr. Mirsky I probably would have cried through the entire procedure. His excellent bedside manner, genuine concern and comfortable sense of humour made the experience better than tolerable and I left with a feeling of complete relief. Not only did he do a great job, surgically, but he reinforced me with feelings of self-assurance. Awesome doctor. If only he could be my doctor for everything!
I am so grateful that Dr. Mursky was my surgeon after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He has a wonderful bedside manner, a wealth of experience and he is a very neat surgeon. I felt very confident and comforted that he was going to do exactly what he told me he would and I completely trusted that my health could not be in better hands. His understanding, charm and sense of humour were so welcome during such a scary time in my life. I know this sounds over the top, but I truly believe that the man is doing God's work, may he practice and help patients during their challenging times for many years to come.
Dr, Doug Mirsky a great surgeon, I knew as soon as I met him I was in good hands. He helped my husband and I deal with the whole breast cancer night-mare. A man I will be in debt to for the rest of my life. Lucy

When Prabhas requested Mirchi director for another film
Hyderabad: Debutante Koratala Siva's first directorial venture Mirchi has received an overwhelming response across the globe. The producers of the film organised a success meet at Taj Deccan Hotel in Hyderabad on Monday evening (February 11). Addressing the event, Rebel star Prabhas, who is on cloud nine, thanked the members of the film unit and requested the director for another romance drama with him.
Talking about the performance of the movie Mirchi, Prabhas credited the success to Koratala Shiva's direction style. The actor described him as a multi-talented director, who can handle almost every subject very well. Meanwhile, he requested Koratala Siva to consider him if he wants to make a romantic entertainer.
Prabhas also praised the performance of Anushka Shetty and Richa Gangopadhyay and said that it was a pleasure to work with them. One big reason for the huge success of Mirchi is its rich production values. Prabhas thanked producers Vamshi and Pramod, cinematographer Madhie, music director Devi Sri Prasad, editor Chanti, art director AS Prakash, lyricist Ramjogaiah Sastry and designer Bhaskar for their support.
However, the success meet of the film Mirchi was a grand affair and it was attended by many celebrities like Dil Raju, AS Prakash, Ramjogayya Sastry and others. We bring you the photos of the event and what others spoke at the event. Continue to see them in slide show.

PORTSMOUTH — Friday, July 12, from 12:30 -2 p.m.; kids in the Summer Rangers camp program will host a Medieval Faire complete with games, prizes, and costumed performers. The games are designed by the kids and cost just ten cents to play. They also prepared Medieval foods and crafts to help raise money for their charity of choice.
In preparation for the fair, the kids learned about life in the Middle Ages, the feudal system, knight's training and castle defenses. They will each be in a costume of the period, adding to the ambience of the fire.
The event will be held on the grounds of the First United Methodist Church on Miller Avenue in Portsmouth.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 175 reviews
I almost always stay here when visiting family in Provo. It is convenient to restaurants, BYU, and shopping. The staff is very welcoming, and it is always clean and well kept.
A shirt drive ti Bridal Veil Falls. Comfirtable for family if 5. Great breskfast.
Could have had a few more kitchen items for us. I desperately needed a chef's knife to cook. (One of the reasons I chose to stay at Residence Inn was to have a kitchen to cook.) Didn't even have a potato peeler. Just had a paring knife to work with. That was a bit frustrating. But everything else worked out.
Room arrangement was very nice; breakfast was a real breakfast; staff was very helpful and pleasant.
Always try to stay here when in town, really great employees--could not have been more helpful, polite and friendly, everything you would expect from a Marriott property. Very convenient to have a light supper on the night I arrived as I was tired and had prep to do for the next day.

Scattered thunderstorms across southwestern Oklahoma Saturday night produced large, destructive hail.
The report of the largest hail came from 8 miles south of Gould, Oklahoma, where storms spotters reported golf ball-sized hail. The image above shows the hail reports between Childress, Texas, and Altus, Oklahoma, Saturday night.
As these storms weakened and collapsed across western Oklahoma, they also produced wind gusts up to 59 mph in Weatherford, Oklahoma.

guys, since bunch of us here are heavily invested in it... please stop posting against each other as soon as you see a posting against your liking. Obviously one of you will be dead wrong! So instead of confusing us on the subject and lead us to potential loss, or inhibit us from a potential gain.. Just do whatever you think is right and be quiet.
with previous record of Duy, I'll go with his call and and still hold my shares and wait for another pop.
this is not personal, just getting confusing, and affects our decision making which is bothering. Thank you.
You should be making your own decisions anyway, not listening to others. Do your DD and figure it out. It's not that complicated. You are trading the weather. Forecast is for warmer weather in February, which will be end of winter. Pull up one year chart and see what happened last year in March.
I have nothing against Duy, and it is nothing personal. Just different points of view. We're each entitled to our opinions. It is NOT me against him. That's what markets are: people selling when others are buying. Happens on every trade.
I think Duy is an excellent trader. I can only post what I think. I am gradually building a short position in UGAZ...100-200 shares per day as winter winds down. Sounds logical to me, and I have been following NG for many years, and have done my due diligence. If opposing viewpoints get you confused, perhaps you are in the wrong business, because there are opposing viewpoints on every trade. Or, you can just put me on ignore. Personally, I like to hear opposing viewpoints. It's always good to know what the other side of the trade is thinking and looking at it from their point of view. He may bring up a point that makes me change my mind. That's what makes markets.
Again, I have nothing against Duy, despite some unfortunate rhetoric on both sides. Emotion should not be part of trading, but sometimes it's difficult to suppress your emotions. You should be happy to see both sides of the argument, as it should help bring clarity to your decision making.
Good luck to ALL!
I like hearing your point of view as well, this only about UGAZ, we have heard your point of view already, you have been saying this since it was 18 and now it is 25... Had I listened to you on UGAZ and sold my position then, it d have been a disaster for me and everybody else here... And we all know NG will go down in march, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to predict this. We are only interested in now, next week or 2... So each time Duy posts smth regarding NG you do not post another one just to oppose it, this was the going trend for a while... I find it a little childish to be honest.

I live on south east of Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada. I enjoy the outdoors and taking photos allows me to capture subjects and scenes that I can keep for memories and also share with others. I prefer to shoot nature in its natural environment and so unless otherwise stated on individual photo information ( right side of each photo) my photos are taken in natural environments and not in confined areas like zoos ect.
I also belong to a local Camera Club, where I enjoy hanging out with others who also enjoy photography!
I shoot in raw file format and full manual and aperture settings. I set my own white balance, due to crappy camera white balance settings( sorry Canon!) lol
Visit me at my FLICKR SITE where you can view my photos much larger than available here. Once there, just click onto the desired photo to view it larger against a nice black background!
Canon 7D, Canon 40D and previously used the Canon 20D ( retired as of Dec 14/10).
Canon 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM 11 lens.
Tamron 28-85 mm f/2.8, including B & W slim circular polarizer.

Gustavo Gonzalez
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gustavo Gonzalez, born in January 1960 in Argentina, is a post-crisis and peace-building expert with more than 20 years of field experience in designing, setting up and managing post-crisis operations in Central America, Africa and Middle-East. He is the Senior Country Director[1] of the United Nations Development Programme in Yemen and a member of the United Nations Country Team.[2]
Professional career[edit]
United Nations system[edit]
Before Yemen, Gustavo Gonzalez was appointed UNDP Country Director [3] in Burundi (2008-2011), where he was actively involved in the implementation of the pilot – Strategic Framework for Peace building in Burundi[4] within the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB, French acronym). He led technical and financial support provided by UNDP to the Burundian transition, including support to the challenging post-crisis electoral cycle in the country, comprising the organization of five successive elections within a period of four months.[5]
As part of the UN peace-building support in Burundi, Gonzalez introduced the concepts of "Adults associated with armed groups"[6] and "Women associated with armed groups",[3] in the negotiations between the Government of Burundi and the National Forces of Liberation (P-FNL), in Pretoria (2009);[7] allowing more than 11,000 combatants, including 1,000 women -initially excluded from the National Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Programme (PNDDR)- to be disarmed and reintegrated into civilian live.[8] In this context, Gonzalez developed the "3x6 approach"[9] for the economic reintegration of ex combatants and other members of the community of re-installation, an innovate employment generation mechanism based on compulsory savings.[10]
Prior to Burundi, Gonzalez was assigned by the UNDP's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery,[11] to establish the Post-Conflict Unit[12] in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2003–07), being the first unit of this nature within the UN in Africa. This initiative greatly contributed to an unprecedented expansion of UNDP's activities in the country.[13] The Country Office adopted an innovative business model based on a drastic programme alignment with the priorities of the political transition in DRC, implying a significant scaling up of activities from an expenditure level of US $11.3 million in 2003 to US $27.9 million in 2004 and US $221.5million in 2005, "becoming by far the largest UNDP programme in Africa".[13]
In 2009, and after an independent evaluation, the UNDP Country Office in DRC was nominated for the Innovations Award in Transforming Government,[14] sponsored jointly by the IBM Corporation and the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[12]
In support of increasing stabilization activities in the Northeast of DRC, Gonzalez was appointed in 2006 Coordinator of Operations for the Stabilization of the Ituri [15] where he developed the "Rapid Response Mechanism", an operational device to address crisis situations based on a pre-positioned network of implementing partners -national and international non-governmental organizations- in the field, with fast-track disbursement mechanism to assist ex combatants, internally displaced people, returnees, etc. The approach proposed by RRM "was an innovative one that attempted to reconcile the operational requirements of an emergency situation with the institutional processes of a development agency".[13] Gonzalez and his team received, in 2006, the UNDP's Administrator Award on Innovation and Creativity[16] for the results of the Disarmament and Community Reinsertion[17] of ex combatants of the seven armed groups[18] operating in Ituri, eastern DRC, as part of the Dar es Salaam Accord [19] (2003).
Before joining UNDP, Gonzalez led several post-crisis programmes, working for the World Bank-funded Transitional Programme in Guinea Bissau (2000-2002), implemented by the International Organization for Migration; the United Nations Office for Project Services, in Central African Republic (1998-2000); and the former United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs in Angola, Liberia and Mozambique (1994-1997).
In Angola, Gonzalez was in charge of establishing in 1994 the first Demobilization and Reintegration Office (DRO) within a UN humanitarian body – the Humanitarian Assistance Coordination Unit[20] – UCAH – (Portuguese acronym), constituting a very controversial initiative for some humanitarian stakeholders, who saw this function belonging to the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Angola – United Nations Angola Verification Mission.[21]
Under the leadership of Gonzalez, the DRO was responsible for planning and coordinating one of the largest disarmament and demobilization operation in contemporary DDR, comprising more than 75,000 combatants of the National Union for Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), plus an estimated 350,000 family members settled around 15 quartering areas [22] during more than two years. In Angola, Gonzalez contributed to the development of the categories of "vulnerable groups" – including war-disabled soldiers and child soldiers-,[21] which are now fully incorporated in DDR standards, as well as introducing the modality of "Joint DDR Technical Working Group" for stakeholder's coordination and oversight of DDR processes, considered now as a best practice and extensively used in DDR processes.[21]
Organization of the American States[edit]
Prior to working with the United Nations, Gonzalez participated in the first peace-building operation under the umbrella of the Organization of American States in Nicaragua, the International Support and Verification Commission (CIAV-OEA, Spanish acronym), within the framework of the Tela Agreement [23] (1989). He was Chief of Field Operations for the repatriation from Honduras of 7,000 members of the Nicaraguan Resistance (NR), known also as "Contras", and their family dependents. After that, he was the Head of the Social Reintegration Programme, targeting more than 12,000 demobilized soldiers from the NR, the Sandinist Popular Army (EPS, Spanish acronym) as well as other rebel groups known as "recontras".[24] In this context, Gonzalez developed the innovative approach of reintegration "as a family affair",[25] launching a nationwide self-construction housing programme, developing new resettlement areas to tackle the problem of land tenure in Nicaragua, allowing the reinsertion of more than 12,000 ex combatants and family members after almost nine years of conflict.
Peace negotiations[edit]
As peace-building adviser, Gonzalez took part in relevant peace negotiations in Africa, including the Lusaka Protocol for the Angolan peace process (1994); the Bangui Peace Accord for Central African Republic (1997), the Dar es Salaam Accord for the Demilitarization of the Ituri in DRC (2004) and the Pretoria Talks for the Burundi peace-building process (April 2009).

"One of the first and most contentious issues confronting the UN system was the location of the Demobilization and Reintegration Office. Both UNAVEM and the DPKO lobbied hard to have it located within the peace-keeping mission. UCAH, DHA and, eventually, the UN operational agencies argued in favor of attaching the DRO to UCAH. UCAH believed strongly that since the purpose of demobilization and reintegration was to return ex-combatants to civilian life, the process should be overseen by civilian agencies."Cite error: Invalid
