I was bitten by the sewing bug in 2007 and remain happily incurable to this day. Usually, my creations focus on manga and anime characters of the 90s, as they're the ones I grew attached to as a kid.
I retired from conventions in 2013, but continue to attend various costuming events and photoshoots with the wonderful people I've met through this hobby.

Microtransat 2007: Linux on the High Seas
A regatta for unmanned robot sailing craft will be starting from Aberystwyth, Wales, in September. "Roboat", a Linux-powered craft by the Austrian Society for Innovative Computer Sciences (InnoC), will be one of the starters in Microtransat 2007.
Roboat's route is calculated by reference to weather data and takes drift into consideration. Sensor data are analyzed to set the rudder and sails. The robot boat is capable of tacking and jibing autonmously.
"From a technical point of view, the biggest challenge this year is mechanical adapting of the new boat, as the sailing algorithms were developed to scale to larger sized craft", said Roland Stelzer, InnoC's President in an interview with Linux Magazine Online.
Size counts: Members of the InnoC Team could easily carry the first competition boat; its successor is designed for the high seas.
The Microtransat program (September 3 through 6) includes a short race over two kilometers, a long race (10 kilometers) and a 24-hour race. The Austrian team is optimistic: "Although competition is getting tougher, we have a good chance of defending our title", says Roland Stelzer. InnoC won the title at the first Microtransat in 2006.
Roboat will be training in calmer waters such as on the New Danuabe and Lake Neusiedl prior to the start. The team will be documenting the race progress on www.roboat.at.

Heavy snow due to a cold snap battered Hailar City in north China's Inner Mongolia on Sunday, leading to several car accidents.
Snow began falling at around 12:00 and lasted for three hours. The temperatures fell to as low as zero degree Celsius.
Many residents chose to walk because of the severe weather.
"It is Sunday today and also the Chongyang Festival. I intended to drive, but when I saw the heavy snow, I walked out and left my car in the house," said a resident.
Local traffic was severely affected as snowstorm reduced visibility significantly and gave rise to road accidents.
"More traffic accidents happened as it's snowing today, and five took place just in the morning," said Gao Boyang, a traffic warden.
"Our control center received 15 traffic accident reports within two hours between 12:00 and 14:00, which was three times the number in normal time," said Zhao Xiaowei, staff member of the traffic control center.
The temperature will continue to drop by 10 degrees Celsius in the coming days, local meteorological authorities said.
The farmers are also advised to take precautionary measures against freezing conditions.

Samsung may have the answer big families need, however, with its new WA56H900A washer. Boasting 5.6 cubic feet of internal space, Samsung's new high-end appliance is the largest non-commercial washer typically stocked in North American retailers. The next largest come in at 5.2 cubic feet and most top-loaders provide somewhere between 4 and 5 cubic feet.
The WA56H9000A certainly looks the part of high-end appliance. The WA56H needs 30 inches of width and 32.3 inches of depth to install, plus an additional 58.7 inches of headroom (to accommodate the washer with lid open).
The Samsung WA56 is controlled via a selection knob, which chooses the cycle, and numerous buttons, which customize the settings of each. There are 15 preset cycles ranging from the typical Normal, Heavy Duty, Perm Press and Delicates to more exotic cycles that target allergens, waterproof clothing and active wear.
Read the full review here, and take a look the also excellent companion dryer, the DV56H9000EP.

Podcast: Clark Kellogg talks Myck Kabongo issue at Texas
|Kabongo's getting his appeal heard by the NCAA today, according to multiple reports. Is his punishment fair? (US Presswire)
As CBS Sports' lead college basketball color commentator, Clark Kellogg gets to guide you through a lot of games but you don't often hear him opine on bigger issues in hoops. That's why we love getting him on the pod. Clark's one of the nicest guys in the business, but this podcast takes a heated turn. Kellogg doesn't find much sympathy for Myck Kabongo's situation; listen to hear why. Beyond that, he addresses the first six weeks of the season so far, the big Kansas-Ohio State game he's calling this weekend, and why on earth he wore a straw hat to his college-commitment press conference in 1979.
Fork over the photos, Mr. Kellogg.
- From the beginning: Let's go expansive to start. Through six weeks of the season, what's stood out to Clark so far? Since he doesn't do studio work anymore, he doesn't get a chance to stretch his legs and opine as much.
- 6:05: Syracuse, Jim Boeheim and Kellogg disagreeing with our colleague Doug Gottlieb's asseveration that the program is overrated.
- 8:30: This is where things take an unexpected and fun turn. Clark goes into his life as a teenager, what it was like to be recruited and what ultimately led him to choose to go to Ohio State.
- 15:00: Myck Kabongo, his lies and why Clark is relatively OK with the NCAA's decision.
- 23:10: Who's to blame for this now though? Hint: he doesn't put much onus on the runners and agents.
- 27:07: With this being the 75th anniversary of the NCAA tournament, Clark's participating in a lot of the CBS 75 retrospectives. Listen to a story or two.
- 30:35: Looking ahead to Kansas-Ohio State, the game of the weekend, which Clark will be calling on CBS.

Since Dineniel seemed to be addressing her thoughts to me--comparing Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, and Tolkien--I think I ought to write something in response. I quote from Dineniel and then I comment.
"Rowling and Tolkien-Two Good British Authors
"I've seen Tolkien fans bash HP fans, Tolkien fans bash HP fans for bashing Tolkien fans (or jsut tolkien in general), but oddly enough, I've never seen a HP fan bash a Tolkien fan. Hmmm...
"It must just be the crowd I hang out with. ;D
"Anyways, both of these practices are wrong, Rowling and Tolkien have their own unique writing styles, and did not copy from each other."
COMMENT: First of all, you are not talking about the same kind of audience. In general, but I think in most cases, the Rowling audience is composed of younger people, people who have not been exposed to good literature, who have not been trained for what to look out for in children's literature. Tolkien, on the other hand, appeals to a broader audience, but usually to an audience more mature (at least when you're past the Hobbit), and to one that has some broader experience with both life and literature. The reason Tolkien is great is because, despite comparison with other authors, he still comes off superior to many, if not to most. But let's continue quoting Dineniel.
"Why They're Both Great
"Rowling: JK employs different tecniques than Tolkien, including foreshadowing. She lays down clue after clue and sprinkles red herrings. She wants us to figure out what's going on, and to make evaluations. I mean, she even egged us on "I had to put some things in because of what's coming in Books 6 and 7 ... I want you to be able to guess if you've got your wits about you." So, when it comes to intricate, I believe it's JK's strong point (Not that stuff in Tolkien isn't intricate, it's just different)
"Tolkien: Tolkien. instead, employs forces much bigger when he wrote his story. He created an entire world, worked actively to create several languages, and developed characters while writing in a strongly Medieval (Can't spell in the morning) fashion, while JK just writes constantly in the action. Tolkien is more focused on creating a new world, and new characters, to really hide as many clues as JK, but nevertheless, his work is to be respected, as he works with many main characters(LOTR) and shows their many ties, relationships, and ideas about different things and different people."
COMMENT: You will pardon me, but what you are citing as a big difference is superficial. Tolkien uses the devices you mention for Rowling but with much greater finesse. He certainly uses, for example, foreshadowing, since he has a grand tale to set before us, and such a device helps to knit together the parts into a whole tapestry.
What counts is what kind of characters the author sets before his readers, and what sort of philosphy/morality those characters use to achieve their part in the plot. In short, how does everything the author uses develop the theme, and what is that message that he is conveying to the reader?
Rowling places before us a main character who lies and disobeys his elders to get his own way, and she presents this as though it were proper and necessary to obtain her goal. This I can tell you as a parent and a teacher is a horrible thing, for it teaches children that they are allowed to lie and set aside their parents' directions for their own reasons. Tolkiens characters are portrayed in a completely different manner. Those that are bad are seen for what they are, and the consequences of their bad actions are also seen. Those that are good do not use evil means to attain their ends (e.g. the Ring). Even though fighting against impossible odds, with hope and help from Above, they come out well in the aftermath because of how they conducted themselves.
As a teacher and concerned parent, there is also the matter of the language. The characters in Harry Potter are talking like street punks. I for one do not want my children exposed to that kind of language. No one can possibly argue that there is any comparison of Rowling's command of the language and Tolkien's. Tolkien's very words tend to uplift and resonate in the mind and heart, even if he is only describing the lay of the land.
But to continue with Dineniel:
"In conclusion, neither Rowling or Tolkien are better than the other, they just write differently. None of them copied off one another, and those who think Tolkien copied off Rowling: Why don't you throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity.
"Yes, and I know there are many other things that make each of these authros special, but I think this is all we need right now."
COMMENT: But this is not the problem. The problem is when we try to compare superficial things that are really different. Just because these two authors wrote fantasy does not make them similar. Rowling has revealed in interviews that her underlying philosophy is to interest children in the occult. Tolkien (along with C.S. Lewis) is very documented in his aim of writing a "true myth," of showing the truth of (Catholic) faith played out in his subcreation. The two views are quite opposed. So the literature produced as a result of these views will be quite a contrast.
"Of Copying
"A quick little note in addition: Because Tolkien employed so much beauty, and different aspects of fantasy, it is inevitable that some elements of his works leak into the works of authors today. However, it is not copying. Tolkien does not own his elves (in general) just the aspects and habits of his elves, along with their history. So drop the idea of "Person A copied off Tolkien! They used the elves that he had in his books!" It's not copying unless they use a lot more than the elves' appearance."
COMMENT: I don't know about Rowling copying from Tolkien. She would not have been the first one I accused of that. There are authors, though, whose whole plotline and characterization have been lifted from Tolkien. For example, perhaps someone is familiar with The Sword of Shannara? Nothing but a cheap copy of LOTR.
And lastly, Dineniel:
"Please not that I have tried to make this evaluation as fair as possible, if I offended you by something, I apologize, but more likey than not, I will not fix it. If you are not one of these Tolkien or Rowling bashers, don't feel offended by my journal.
"Don't bash Tolkien or Rowling (or me) and have a nice day!"
COMMENT: I also have tried to be fair. I base my assessment of these authors on documentation that is available in print almost anywhere. Nor am I picking on you, Dineniel. You are really kind to dedicate your poetry to me. But in this matter of Rowling and Tolkien, I think you need more study.

LA Tenorio stars as Aces trip Beermen in Game 1 06 Aug 2010 The Alaska Aces aren't through yet with their stunning act in the PBA Fiesta Cup. On Friday night, the Aces were at it again and brought down defending champion San Miguel Beer in an 89-83 Game 1 upset of their best-of-seven title series at the Araneta Coliseum. Diamon Simpson, who narrowly lost the Best Import award to Gabe Freeman, was a terror at both ends of the floor for the Aces scoring 28 points and grabbing 21 rebounds. But it was L.A. Tenorio who delivered the two dagger baskets - both from downtown - that finally took the life out of the mighty Beermen. His first three-pointer, with three minutes left in the tightly-fought, low scoring contest, ignited an 8-0 closing run that shattered the game's final deadlock and pushed the Aces to a 79-76 advantage. Another booming trey by the smart Alaska playmaker with 1:44 to go capped that searing blitz and gave the Aces a comfortable 84-76 lead. Tenorio, runner-up to Jay Washington in the race for the Best Player of the Conference award, finished with 13 points, just behind the 14 of both Joe DeVance and Cyrus Baguio. He also had eight assists in the Aces' third straight key win, including Alaska's last two games against Talk 'N Text in the semifinals. Game 2 of the series is on Sunday also at the Big Dome. "I knew we got to a sluggish start. I knew that would happen to us, but that run in the second quarter convinced us that we can play this game, too. We're a confident team. This team right now is not the same team in the eliminations. We feel we're not the team that placed fourth in the eliminations," said Alaska coach Tim Cone. With only a day's rest after eliminating top seeded Talk 'N Text in a seven-game semifinal series, the Aces understandably came out flat in Game 1 against the Beermen and fell by as many as 15-4 four minutes into the match. But once it settled down and got its half-court game going, there was no way Alaska would be denied of the win. "We could have done better," said SMB coach Tanquingcen. "We shot ourselves in the foot by turning the ball over a lot of times. They (Aces) got the shot that they want. We didn't get the shot that we want." Freeman poured in 37 points and had 16 rebounds, but was stymied shortly after being whistled for his fifth personal foul with 3:46 left in the third period and the Beermen trailing, 61-66. He returned with 6:49 to play and Alaska still ahead, 72-67. San Miguel Beer committed 20 turnovers, which was translated by Alaska to 17 points, wasting its 58-49 edge in rebounds. Freeman scored SMB's last seven points, including the one that pulled them to within 84-79. But DeVance scored underneath off a perfect dish by Simpson to make it 86-79, before the Beermen finally threw in the towel when Freeman asked to be relieved after hobbling back to the bench holding his knee. Washington was the lone SMB player who played consistently with 16 points. Arwind Santos struggled for seven points on 3-of-12 field goal shooting although he had 10 rebounds while Dondon Hontiveros went scoreless in the second and third quarters and wound up with only eight points. - JVP, GMANews.TV Scores: Alaska 89 - Simpson 28, DeVance 14, Baguio 14, Tenorio 13, Hugnatan 8, Dela Cruz 7, Fonacier 5, Borboran 0, Eman 0. San Miguel 83 - Freeman 37, Washington 16, Yeo 9, Hontiveros 8, Santos 7, Cabagnot 2, Ildefonso 2, Pena 2, Villanueva 0, Tugade 0, Racela 0, Seigle 0. Quarters scores: 19-25, 48-42, 66-61, 89-83.

[George Hotz], better known by his hacker moniker [GeoHot], was the first person to successfully hack the iPhone — now he's trying his hand at building his very own self-driving vehicle.
The 26-year-old already has an impressive rap sheet, being the first to hack the PS3 when it came out, and to be sued because of it.
According to Bloomberg reporter [Ashlee Vance], [George] built this self driving vehicle in around a month — which, if true, is pretty damn incredible. It's a 2016 Acura ILX with a lidar array on its roof, as well as a few cameras. The glove box has been ripped out to house the electronics, including a mini-PC, GPS sensors, and network switches. A large 21.5″ LCD screen sits in the dash, not unlike the standard Tesla affair.
Oh, and it runs Linux. Continue reading "Self-Driving Acura, Built in a Garage"

The resource has been added to your collection
In this 6-week unit, students discover and learn about plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and the relationships between all of them. Students will explore each topic individually using hands on activities, notes, art and poetry. Connections between the topics will be made as the students develop a pop-up book as a culminating activity and formative assessment.
This resource was reviewed using the Curriki Review rubric and received an overall Curriki Review System rating of 3, as of 2009-08-02.
In this 6-week middle school unit, students engage in a variety of earth science activities exploring plate movement, earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain formation. Lessons frequently reference the book "The Amazing Earth Model Book Easy-to-make Hands-on Model That Teach" and bibliographic information is provided for this text. Students will accumulate work samples throughout the project, all of which can be used as reference for creating the culminating pop-up book. Excellent attached materials provide rationales, procedures, notes and examples for many of the activities, including cinquain poems, metaphors, KWL charts, model-building and collage. Additional websites are provided for presentation and research. Many rubrics, some brief and others extensive, are provided throughout. This unit is thoughtfully designed and immediately useful in the classroom.
Wow! Micki, thank you for contributing such a fantastic unit! I will share this with my pre-service teachers so that they can see how a unit needs to be organized, layered, and detailed to meet the needs of all learners.
Excellent resource!
A great detailed unit! Even if I decide not to do the pop-up book, the structure of the unit, the frequent assessment, and the content is great for this grade level.

Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway: WWI
For young people of Hemingway's generation, World War I was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. You simply had to be there. Many of those who did not engage in overseas combat because of age or other circumstances (like Hemingway's colleague F. Scott Fitzgerald) deeply regretted missing their chance. "Not for anything would I have missed the opportunity for a ringside view of the greatest spectacle to unfold in our time," wrote Henry Villard, a journalist and businessman who knew Hemingway during the war. "To many of us the war in Europe resembled a gigantic stage on which the most exciting drama ever produced was being played out."7 Ernest Hemingway, who never turned down a good adventure, couldn't resist. He volunteered first for the Army but failed the vision test, so he applied instead to serve as a driver for the Red Cross Ambulance Corps. He was posted to Italy. World War I was bloody, often grotesquely so, and the impression that the gruesome scenes left on Hemingway is apparent in short stories like "A Natural History of the Dead." On 8 July 1918, while he was passing out supplies to Italian troops at Fossalta di Piave, Hemingway was hit in the legs by a mortar blast, and then by machine gun fire. Despite his injuries, he managed to drag a wounded Italian soldier off the battlefield, an act for which the Italian government awarded him a medal. It was the first of several serious injuries Hemingway would sustain during his adventures, injuries with physical consequences that dogged his later years.
Surgery to repair his legs was successful and Hemingway recovered well. He developed a reputation among the staff and patients at the Milan hospital where he recuperated as a great storyteller, though no one could tell which of the details in his stories were real and which were exaggerated for dramatic effect. He also fell in love with Agnes von Kurowsky, an American nurse from Washington, D.C. who was six years his senior. The war ended and the couple made plans for her to join him back in the United States. Soon after Hemingway returned home in January 1919, he received a letter from Agnes informing him that she had fallen in love with an Italian officer whom she planned to marry. Hemingway was heartbroken. He threw himself into his journalism, working first in Toronto and then in Chicago as a reporter for the Toronto Star. His doomed relationship with Agnes would influence his writing - a fictionalized account of their romance appeared in his first novel, A Farewell to Arms.
Through friends he met Hadley Richardson, a St. Louis native eight years his senior. They married in September 1921 and settled in Chicago—briefly. Hemingway's friend and fellow writer Sherwood Anderson had told him that he really needed to check out Paris. It was cheap (the exchange rate favored the dollar over the franc), the bars were great, and all the really good writers were going there. Hemingway was convinced. In December 1921 the newlywed couple set sail for Paris to become part of one of the greatest literary gatherings of the twentieth century.

Customer Reviews
Fun game, but expensive in-app purchases
I was introduced to the non-electronic tabletop version of this by some friends, and enjoyed the game so I decided I'd like to try the app so I can play it anytime. I like it and it works fine for me, but I wish the additional maps/upgrades weren't so expensive. $7 is already a lot for a game on the Apple Store, and it seems too pricey to pay another $5 each just for extra maps of the same game! I think I'll just stick with the basic USA map until the prices go down. Otherwise, this is a lot of fun to play.
DOW ruined this game
When this game first came out, my wife and I loved it. We used to play over Bluetooth at restaurants while waiting for our food. I played many, many solo games as well.
Then the update came last fall that wiped out my high scores, changed the layout of the game (for the worse), added annoying animations and took away Bluetooth.
Several updates later, the layout's been fixed and the animations taken care of. Bluetooth has been restored, but doesn't work as well as before.
The worst part now is the Bot player. It plays horribly. It randomly starts throwing down trains to run out the game and makes no effort to connect it's tickets. In one game, not a single ticket was connected. All the fun has been removed from this game.
Serious timer problem needs to be fixed
Potential buyers beware: this game is really fun, but has a timer problem. In timed games, the timer usually keeps counting down even after you play your turn. If you like playing fast, like I do, hold off on buying this game until this problem is resolved.

Brighton Festival: Zero: The Clod Ensemble
Zero is a world where nothing is certain – where women can be tigers and men can be snakes. Families, marriages and friendships are laced with sibling rivalries, frustrated desires and murderous ambitions. Heavens open and lives fall apart. Here, we are all at the mercy of the stormy weather. At least we can still sing the blues.
Led by choreographer/director Suzy Willson and composer Paul Clark, Clod Ensemble makes performance work that pushes the boundaries between art forms. Recently the company presented their critically acclaimed piece Silver Swan at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
A turbulent mix of dance, music and visual theatre, Zero is set to an original score played live by a band of acclaimed musicians and featuring an explosive cast of performers.
Suitable for age 12 and over. Contains strong language.
This event takes place at Brighton Dome, which has achieved Bronze Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Clod Ensemble
Founded in 1995 by Artistic Directors Paul Clark and Suzy Willson, Clod Ensemble creates performance projects, workshops and events across the UK and internationally. The company makes performance happen in many different contexts, unleashing the extraordinary potential of movement and music for a broad range of audiences and participants.
'The quality of the performance is astonishing and unforgettable' (The Scotsman on Clod Ensemble's Under Glass).

January 24, 2008; News 12 This Morning
AUGUSTA, GA -- Republicans and Democrats aren't the only ones with an influence on who will get to the White House. So far this political season, independents are playing a big role.
The independent vote can sometimes push a candidate over the edge in a primary. Experts attribute John McCain's recent success to those types of voters.
That's the focus of a meeting held this morning at the Marriott Hotel in Augusta: the State of the Independent Voter in the South Summit.
They talked about the power of the vote and the impact the media has on voters.
News 12's own Richard Rogers was part of the panel.

A very long time friend and business associate referred Jim Strickland Hardwood Floors to install hardwood flooring in 3 bedrooms and fix an interior wood wall. The floors were installed and look great except the baseboard in one area was not reinstalled. Also, Jim removed a piece of wood from our wood wall to match it and we haven't seen or heard from him since. He left us with a hole in our wall. We called many times, emailed and told our referring business associate. He just won't respond- to anyone. I recommend you do not pay this company in full until you are completely satisfied. Jim Strickland created a trust between us and I let my guard down.

BBB Complaint Case#91211926 (Ref#66-90309724-91211926-3-200)
This company uses a SCAM in which a price is quoted, and then they increase the price based on "weight" once your house is loaded on the truck. They damaged over $7,000 - $10,000 in products, and over charges and a formal law suit will be filed this month against them, as well as the BBB report above. I would fully encourage you to NOT utilize this company. Damage, poor service, etc.
My dealings started with "Mike" who passed me to "Sophia" although I believe they are all related. I was pushed to an insurance company, and told that the process would take 3 months. I called back at the end of three months, and then was told it would take six months.
I moved from Dallas to Los Angeles, and they had to split up two trucks, and had to have multiple vendors come and repair all the damage to my work out equipment etc.
Complete SCAM. STAY AWAY

Just about every new product to hit the edtech space is touting that it is "aligned with Common Core standards" as a prime feature. But how
can schools be sure these companies aren't just finessing existing features to fit broad CCCS definitions? Tech & Learning asked the following
experts for their recommendations on questions educators should ask to confirm that a product actually is meeting Common Core standards:
Douglas Clements, a Kennedy Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning and Professor at the University of Denver, Julie Sarama, a Kennedy
Endowed Chair in Innovative Learning Technologies and Professor at the University of Denver, and Timothy Shanahan, a Professor of Urban
Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago where he is Director of the UIC Center for Literacy. Here are their replies.
By Julie Sarama and
Dougla s H. Clements
■ Does the program provide appropriately rigorous and coherent
mathematics instruction? Does it provide teachers and students
the opportunity to understand and apply the major ideas and
procedures for each grade (i.e., does it attend explicitly to the
concepts for each grade, connecting mathematics concepts,
procedures, and facts)?
■ Do the materials, tools, and digital offerings provide teachers
and students a variety of ways to pursue conceptual
understanding, procedural skill, and fluency?
■ Does the program provide opportunities for meaningful
application of the Standards for Mathematical Practice? Are the
content and practice standards consistently woven together in
a coherent curriculum in every grade level?
■ Is the curriculum built on learning progressions (i.e., learning
trajectories) from grade to grade that help students relate
grade-level concepts
to prior knowledge
and build a solid
foundation for future
■ Does the program
require students
to engage in
thinking and
problem solving,
including academic discussions that explicitly use the
specialized language of mathematics? Are there instances that
prompt students to construct viable arguments and engage in
real-world problem solving?
■ In general, does the program go beyond programs that
were available before the advent of the CCSS, rather than
simply stating that it is "compatible with the CCSS," without
substantive change?
By Timothy Shanahan
■ Does the program provide appropriately challenging texts that
align with the complexity requirements of CCSS, along with
sufficient instructional supports to allow students to read these
texts effectively and to increase the text levels that they are
able to read?
■ Does the program provide sufficient and appropriate supports
to enable students to be effective close readers who are
capable of interpreting text through analysis and interpretation
(e.g., not revealing too much information about texts prior to
student reading, encouraging re-reading, asking appropriate
sequences of "text-dependent" questions, and emphasizing the
identification and use of text evidence)?
■ Does the program provide a range of reading experiences,
including both close reading and re-reading of shorter,
challenging texts, more extended readings of longer texts, and
■ Does the program require that students write to sources and
research (e.g., summarizing, analyzing, and critiquing texts,
researching and synthesizing information from multiple sources,
revising texts, and using text evidence to support arguments)?
■ Does the program require students to engage in academic
discussions that effectively connect reading, writing, speaking,
and listening?

Benefit's brand new cheek & lip tint is three shades of gorgeous. This creamy stick features lovely coral, watermelon, and champagne pigments that blend together for a sheer wash of color. The swipe-on stick is supereasy to apply—great for times when you're on the go. We got the first look on this multitasking wonder—see the blush in action in our exclusive video with Benefit's Maggie Ford Danielson in their Soho boutique.
I've read some of the negative reviews of this product, and I can see where these ladies are coming from. It is more of an orangey color palate, it does dent a little, and it isn't a dry powder. However, for me, a gal with fair skin and very little time or skill whilst applying make up, this product might as well have been designed for me. I love that with just one swipe and a little blending my otherwise fatigued and lifeless looking face becomes flushed and healthy looking! I think maybe orange/ peach color palates are favorable for my skin, I can see how they might be harsh/ might not show up on darker or redder skin tones, it's pretty bright on me as well, but I just rub it in and it looks pretty nice! I recommend this product to all gals on the go!5
I was skeptical because there were mixed reviews but I am so glad I ordered it and took at chance. This works perfectly with my light, yellow-based skin. A setting powder really helps the staying power. It is a perfect, natural flush and highlight. The contous is not strong but the colors mix beautifully. I still use a brown contour with it for more formal occasions but it is perfect on its own for daytime5
I love benefit and I love fine one one. I will be buying this product and brand over and over again. I love their clever names for their products and the quality is excellent. I'm starting to stray from my coveted MAC products and venture out. Benefit has become a beauty staple for me now.5

After getting ahold of this company in Sacramento they told us that they use a couple of different companies to collect money from them and they have had problems in the past with SoCal DBA not sending them the money. So we called the bank and had the canceled check faxed over to us. Front and back of coarse. Found out they bank at Bank of California. Our bank had never heard of this bank. So we looked them up on the internet and found nothing but online banking. When we looked up SoCal DBA we found this website. I hear about fake companies ripping off people all the time but you never think it can happen to you. But guess what? It doesn't matter how smart you think you are....it does happen...

Last updated: 07/25/2006 12:00:00 PM
There aren't any lyrics for 'Hopskotch' because they tended to make them up when they played it live and they made the verse up when recording. So there aren't any actual lyrics, you have to kinda guess them.

In early October, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert received the Order of Jamaica, joining his reggae colleagues Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh in his country's national honors club. Never one to rest on his laurels, Hibbert – who is synonymous with the band he founded, Toots & the Maytals – took to the road for an acoustic tour in support of his latest album, "Unplugged on Strawberry Hill."
Hibbert, revered for his band's groundbreaking blend of reggae, R&B, gospel, soul and folk music, is widely regarded as one of the founders of the form. Sometimes referred to as "the Otis Redding of Jamaican music," Hibbert has been leading the Maytals since the early '60s, when his brave melding of Jamaican ska with American R&B aided greatly in his country's quest for cultural identity.
The legendary reggae progenitor will bring his acoustic tour to the Bear's Den at the Seneca Niagara Casino at 8 tonight. Joined by son Hopeton Hibbert on bass, drummer Paul Douglas, and backing vocalists Chantelle Ernandez and Elenore Walters, "Toots" will offer an intimate guided tour through his own history.
Tickets start at $50 (box office, Ticketmaster.com).

The next time you feel the urge to insert, say, an intervallic aggregate simply because it bears a connection to another structural element in the music, take into sonic consideration the consequence of your actions. Are you really contributing anything to the sound?
How is that music can deliver us both heavenly and hellish experiences at the same time?
Can you call yourself a composer if no one else does? And why is the performer rather than the composer called the artist in performances and on recordings?
Can you just tell a composer to do an educational project along with a commission and expect success?
Using creativity in everyday life.
With all the different styles of music out there, is new music really the healthy option?
Music is a language in which one cannot lie; is it dishonest, then, to write strictly serial music?
Aside from Michael Jackson's brushes with the criminal justice system, there is never anything about music on the Times Square news ticker; but maybe that's okay.
The usual dramatics over politics, Steve Reich, and applauding between movements.

London Lions boost title hopes after Mill Hill win
A Dean Nyman double helped London Lions boost their title hopes after beating Mill End Sports 2-1 in the Herts Senior County League Premier Division.
Lions manager Tony Gold said: "The players knew the importance of the game because in the past we have come unstuck in similar situations so today was a big result.
"We're not out of it by any means, we're still right in there. I've said all along it will be close but we must continue to win these kind of games."
Jon Breger and James Korn helped FC Team took their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games with a solid 3-1 win over Arsenal Deaf in the Middlesex County League Division One.
FC Team boss Mitch Young said: "We must keep our winning mentality going as we have some really important games coming up. Overall I am pleased and there is still room for improvement."

They crushed my dreams. They made me and my dad drive all the way there. We got there and they made me do some script and they recoreded me. I doubt that camera man was even doing anything. After that I went to some girl named Rebbeca Fox's office. She showed me and my dad some videos. Then all of a sudden brought up money. The cost was around 200$. I felt terrible at that moment, because my dad barley has any money. We're struggling, but my dad did it anyways he paid for that stupid scam talent thing.
After that they made me and my dad come back and take some photos that costed 50$ so they scammed us off of 50 more dollars. After that I got some stupid video from Rebbeca Fox. It didn't help me with anything. She told me should help me. A few months later I texted her at 9 pm and all that I got was her yelling at me!!! She told me that never to call her. So I emailed her asking for a refund and she said no. I just wanted help.. I just wanted to become something big.. they didn't help. all that they did was crush my dreams. How can someone be that heartless?

Fact: the horses there are not fed enough. Don't believe me? Check out their new and improved website www.smcequestrian.com. Look at the big bay horse, Eddie. He didn't used to be skin and bones like he is now!
Fact: they dont turn the horses out when they say they will, or sometimes, they dont turn them out at all.
Fact: the horses are left in filthy stall conditions for days at a time.
Fact: they use horses that dont belong to them in "lessons" and allow people to ride BOARDER'S horses without asking the permission of the boarder
Fact: they will talk about you and tell lies to EVERYONE they know, even though most of those people know that they are liars
Fact: the fat girl, "Jess, " who watches the barn for them (and calls herself the "manager"), is afraid of horses and to my knowledge, has never even gotten on her own. On their website they say that they sold her the paint horse "Cappy," but they in fact did not.
Fact: they have far more unhappy customers than happy ones
Fact: my horse was injured there and it is still "a big mystery" as to how it happened
Fact: Shannon has a new/different medical ailment every week
Fact: Chris will sell an un-broke horse to a beginner with promises of helping them to train it, which he NEVER follows through with
Fact: Chris will make up any excuse in the world not to get on a horse
Fact: Shannon does not even know how to ride
Fact: the minute you try to get your horse out of there, they will make up stories, call the police, threaten you with a law suit, fly off the handle, and call you names
Here's the thing. They are NICE at first. They seem so genuine and down to earth. But they are disgusting frauds!! All these skinny horses on the property that they say are "rescues." Bull! They are their own horses that they hardly feed.
They lost the law suit that they filed against the other poster on here because they are liars and frauds. They did not have a leg to stand on.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STEER CLEAR. Remember, you get what you pay for. Undoing the damage that you will incur here will cost you MUCH more than the different that you will save in board.
And before all the rebuttals from the accused start pouring in, remember: No, i am not a jealous ex-lover or crazy ex-friend. I am just another victim of their widespread BS.

$12.79There is a renewed conversation about identity and mission in American Anglicanism today, based on the recognition that the church's context in the U.S. has dramatically changed. The legacies of establishment, benefactor approaches to mission, and the 'national church' ideal are no longer adequate for the challenges and opportunities facing the 21st century church. But if the Episcopal Church is

Mapping Trends and Shaping the ConversationIn this book, two leading ministry experts place the missional church conversation in historical perspective and offer fresh insights for its further development. They begin by providing a helpful review of the genesis of the missional church and offering an insightful critique of the Gospel and Our Culture Network's seminal book Missional Church, which set the conversation in motion. They map the
The Alternative Gospel of the American ChurchIs it possible that we have left Christ out of Christianity? Is the faith and practice of American Christians today more American than Christian? These are the provocative questions Michael Horton addresses in this thoughtful, insightful book. He argues that while we invoke the name of Christ, too often Christ and the Christ-centered gospel are pushed aside. The result is a message and a faith

Innovation and Mission for the 21st-Century ChurchIn a time when the need for and the relevance of the Gospel has seldom been greater, the relevance of the church has seldom been less. The Shaping of Things to Come explores why the church needs to rebuild itself from the bottom up. Frost and Hirsch present a clear understanding of how the church can change to face the unique challenges of the twenty-first century. This missional classic has been
The Theology and Practice of Christian WitnessMost people think of evangelism as something an individual does--one person talking to one or more other people about the gospel. Bryan Stone, however, argues that evangelism is the duty and call of the entire church as a body of witness. Evangelism after Christendom explores what it means to understand and put to work evangelism as a rich practice of the church, grounding evangelism in the
Inclusion: making room for graceInclusion, says the author, is a discipline of consciously extending the boundaries of our communities to embrace and affirm people of diverse backgrounds and experiences. In this resource for ministers and church leaders, Law provides models, theories, and strategies that are both practical and theologically sound for moving faith communities toward greater inclusion.
A Conservative Case for EgalitarianismThe Bible says that women should keep silent in church and that they should pray and prophesy. It calls wives the weaker partner and says that men and women are equal. When it comes to understanding what Scripture says about men and women, those on both sides of the debate can and do marshal strong evidence from the Bible. Why are they able to do this? John Stackhouse boldly contends it is because

Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your CityToday many pastors are struggling to adapt to a post-Christian culture without abandoning orthodox theology.

WASHINGTON, D.C.---Congressman Charlie Norwood is back at work today.
The 110th Congress was sworn in at the Capitol, and Rep. Norwood was part of that.
He was hospitalized in December to get chemotherapy for cancer and faces several more months of that treatment. It's a common side effect of the lung transplant he had in 2004.
Norwood is now in the minority, as democrats took control of Congress for the first time in 12 years.
They also made history by electing Nancy Pelosi the first woman to be Speaker of the House.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
