- About the brand
Theorie SAGA Touch 1 1/2" Flat Iron uses ionized technology to promote silkier and smoother hair. Far-infrared technology delivers consistent heat distribution, while reducing static.
After you have turned on your flat iron, hold the - sign down for 2 seconds. You will then see zeros across your screen. Choose your desired shut off time by pressing the + or – symbols. Once chosen, wait 3 seconds and—voilà!—you have successfully programmed your auto shut-off.
Rest the iron safely on a smooth flat surface and plug in. Once plugged in, touch the power symbol on the digital touch screen to turn the iron on. Once the iron is on, select your desired temperature by tapping the + or – symbol. The temperature will automatically lock after 3 seconds. To unlock and change the temperature (or to turn the iron off), tap the + symbol and then the – symbol. Choose desired temperature and let heat for approximately 60 seconds and style as desired.
Since its inception, THEORIE has become synonymous with breakthrough technology, distinctive design, leading-edge performance and handcrafted elegance. THEORIE hair products are suitable for all hair types including colour and keratin treated hair. Try THEORIE's organic hair care products as your new hair solution .

DisappointedWhen looking for a new flat Iron I was encouraged by the sales clerk at our local beauty supply store to buy the Theorie Saga. I have only had it two months, and it now has what I think is a short in the cord. It moves and it turns off and then you have to reset it. I thought the cord that turns 360' would be awesome. Would give anything to go back to my CHI. Now the only return is to have them send another one of these. So much money, and I'm sooo disappointed!Oct 6, 2014T N.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Best Purchase EverI had the Sedu 1 1/2" flat iron (rated higher than the Theorie per Folica.com) and it died after a year - the cord seemed to have some sort of short in it and my warranty had just expired, I looked for other flat irons on Folica and found the Theorie SAGA and I am OBSESSED!! Leaves hair so smooth and shiny and heats up in like 4 seconds. Comes with a lifetime warranty which was the selling point for me!

Fee For FizzlerIf your flat iron continues to work, you will be very pleased with it. However, my Theorie flat iron only lasted two months before it conked out. Not only was I irritated about the performance for such an expensive product, I was truly agitated to find out that I must pay a fee to have it replaced. In addition, the customer is not guaranteed a new product. You might wind up with a reconditioned appliance. Folica has been my go-to site for all my hair needs for years. This policy seems incongruous with their otherwise great service. May not come back for hair tools.Mar 10, 2014C.HAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Loved It But It Stopped WorkingI got it on Monday Jan 13, 2014. I loved the results. It was the best flat iron I have ever used. However, it stopped working Wednesday January 15th. I was very dissappointed. I exhanged it for another one of the same just in case it was a fluke that it quit working. I should have my new one this weekend and we will see how it goes. Hopefully this one keeps working for a while.Jan 29, 2014Jessica W. / Amarillo TxHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Compliments And Shine For Days!I haven't had so much luck in the past with my CHI's or my GHD's. I've decided to give up on these big brands due to the fact that they just aren't what they used to be. Years ago I had better luck but lately, everything just seems to be expensive junk that destroys my hair. I heard about Theorie through my salon (that's where I bought this one this time) and after realizing that it was what my stylist has been using, I decided to give it a shot. First of all, let me tell you, this thing is hot in seconds! Literally ready to use in 5 seconds. Second, it comes in the beautiful leather box that I could never possibly throw away. It's gorgeous but it's too big to store it in so I just keep it in my closet. :)
Third, I haven't had so many compliments on my hair in ever! Everyone keeps telling me how shiny, silky, and straight my hair looks. It's really neat that they noticed just after a week or so of continued use. I don't really know what's different about this technology than CHI and GHD but whatever it is, it works!Nov 25, 2013Chelsea P. / AtlantaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Beautiful Package, Horrible Flat IronI have had my Theorie 1 1/2'' iron for about 6 months. 3 months into it I started noticing a ton of breakage with my hair . I have been a CHI user forever and switched only because this site did not have much to choose from as far as CHI goes and everyday I regret buying this. Since day one this equipment has malfunctioned most times when turning it on the display reads all 888's so I have to unplug and restart. My auto turn on function has never worked despite programming it. Super unhappy with this product and bummed I have to fork out another 150+ dollars for something that actually works. To those who have posted rave reviews you are lucky, mine must be a dud!Nov 14, 2013AshleyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Best Gift I Ever ReceivedMy mother purchased my first Theorie product for me for my birthday last month as she knew I have been having issues with my GHD. I have a Solia as my backup which, at this point should just be thrown away. I am a senior college and can't imagine spending $150 right now on a flat iron but I am truly grateful that my Mom did.
I have had them all... The expensive, the cheap, nearly everything on Folica.com's top 10 list and I can honestly say "Theorie is the best, most effective product on the market".
My hair glides through the plates with no snagging or pulling. I can pass through one time with silky smooth results. The iron has a setting where you can have it shut off after a desired time so you never have to worry about leaving it on and burning your bathroom or whole house down for that matter. The cord is wrapped in this really retro looking material that not only makes it look great but protects it from my other heated appliances as it is heat protective. Oh, and the travel case is PERFECT. Tiny, form fitting so it doesn't take up room in my bag when I am traveling. Thanks Mom! (And Folica, I know she bought it here).

In Love With This Iron!I have to give props to the folks at Theorie who thought of everything...superior technology with auto shut-off, quick heat up (even shows the temperature rising on the display!), consistent heat distribution, easy to use display panel, rubberized grip, unbeatable lifetime guarantee, velcro attachment and hook on the cord for easy storage, gorgeous classy leather case, easy product registration, plates that don't snag on my hair...I could go on and on about the engineering of this thing but most importantly this iron, not my GHD, gives me a Good Hair Day everyday. My hair is sleek, shiny, manageable and curls stay in until my next wash. Just a pleasure to use. I just wish it came with international voltage. Thank you Theorie for making a quality product.Sep 12, 2013KimHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

DisappointingI purchased this iron at the end of April and received it in May. I was impressed by the packaging and look of the iron, but pretty design doesn't necessarily mean quality. The one thing I LOVE about the iron is that it is constantly heating up to whatever temp you set it to. Most irons reheat slowly, and it takes longer to do your hair. This one reheats even as you're pulling it through your hair so it's always consistent on temperature. The touch controls are nice, but the longer I have my iron, the less sensitive I find the controls to be. I really have to push firmly on the power button to get it to turn on. That being said, it's certainly not worth the high price tag. The cord covering on mine has already unraveled at the top where it connects to the iron and is sliding down the length of the cord. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a wrapped cord. Also, the iron isn't as flat as I'd like it to be. It's fairly heavy as flat irons go, and somewhat thick. I've had a Solia and a Sedu iron prior to this. The Solia probably gave me the smoothest hair, but again, it is a thicker/heavier iron, which I didn't like. The Sedu was thinner, but fried my hair and I was forever snagging hairs in the edges of the plates. The Theorie doesn't snag my hair, but doesn't straighten amazing well in one pass either. I wish I had returned it in the 30 day window as I don't really think it's worth the money, however, I will be taking advantage of the warranty to get the obvious defects fixed. A friend of mine has a GHD and I have tried that iron. I like the thinner profile and it truly does straighten my hair in one pass. (I have very thick, wavy hair) I just placed an order for the Glossy Red 1' GHD that is on sale for $150. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with my Theorie when it comes back from being fixed. I'm thinking it will be my backup iron if my GHD croaks. Save your money and go with a Solia, which will if very comparable and half the price, or try an iron like a GHD. This just isn't worth the hype. Pretty? Yes. Miracle worker? Not so much.Sep 10, 2013Tootie / NDHAIR TYPEAuburn / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

For years diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes were associated with reduced risk of colon cancer [5]. But starting in the late 1990s, data began showing just the opposite-that fiber may not prevent colon cancer after all (New England Journal of Medicine, 1999).
However many of the fiber studies used wheat bran, which does not support the same function as the fiber found in fruits, vegetables and legumes, especially as it relates to clearance of toxins from the intestines, which is relevant to colon cancer. So it may be certain types of fiber that prevent colon cancer.
People with high cholesterol were told for a long time to avoid eggs, which are high in dietary cholesterol. However, it isn't clear to what extent dietary cholesterol raises blood cholesterol levels. Throughout the years, research has attempted to link dietary cholesterol to human cholesterol levels without much success.
Many scientists believe that saturated fats and trans fats raise blood cholesterol more than the dietary cholesterol found in eggs. In fact, the American Heart Association [6] recently acknowledged it may be possible to include a daily egg in a healthy diet.
This is a particularly complicated topic!
On one hand, caffeine has been associated with elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, anxiety [3], poor sleep [7], and digestive issues [8]. Thus the advice has been to limit or avoid caffeine.
But more recently, caffeine has been shown to improve muscle coordination and strength if consumed just prior to exercise [9] or an athletic event. It also increases energy expenditure and may help us burn calories. So it appeared as though there were positive benefits of caffeine!
Now there are new concerns. In a study published about caffeine intake and miscarriage, research showed as much as a 30 percent increase in early miscarriage of normal pregnancies for women who drink one to two cups of coffee a day (Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008). Another recent study published showed insulin levels were significantly higher, and insulin sensitivity was reduced by 35 percent after ingesting caffeine, with the effects persisting for at least a week (Metabolism, 2007).

Here is a video of my setup and a nice demo of it working with a Star Wars video clip:
If you would like to setup this system, it is quite simple and does not require any Arduino shields. The materials you will need other than an Arduino are:
+RGB LED Strip (<=$15.95): You can get really cheap ones but I went with this Sparkfun LED strip due to ease of shipping (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10261).
The LED driver circuit is extremely simplified due to the ULN2003A chip which eliminates the need for a separate transistor circuit for each R, G and B channel of the LED. Here is the schematic:

If you despise chain messages, put this sentence into your signature.
I use cheating devices, I breed to perfection, and I see Pokémon as useless if they have the wrong nature. Guess what? I still love Pokémon, especially the ones I capture, hack, breed, and/or train myself. All the extra codes and effort contribute to my affection for them. If you disagree, I love debate.

Ideal for staying cozy amid chilly North Atlantic gusts, the snug garment is knit from 100% fine, worsted wool that wicks moisture away from the body and creates a barrier against the elements. With fitted sleeves and a ribbed shawl collar that drapes elegantly over the shoulders, the cardigan sweater falls gracefully to the mid-thigh and a single-button closure prevents overheating while allowing the legs to move freely during brisk hikes. The sweater's intricate textured pattern incorporates the traditional diamond stitch, which symbolizes success and wealth, and the cable stitch, for safety and good luck. Hand-wash or dry clean. Green. Women's sizes.

In the wake of the Arab Spring, Egypt continues to destabilize with significant bloodshed and political instability, Tunisia endures repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria's civil war continues to boil. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has emerged, one that might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: entrepreneurship.
As a seasoned angel investor in emerging markets, Chris Schroeder, CEO of washingtonpost.com, was curious but skeptical about the future of investing in the Arab world. In Amman, Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Dubai, and Istanbul, he saw thousands of talented, successful, and intrepid entrepreneurs, all willing to face cultural, legal, and societal challenges. Equally important, he saw major private equity firms, venture capitalists, and tech companies like Google, Intel, Cisco, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and PayPal making significant bets, despite the uncertainty and instability.
In Startup Rising, Schroeder marries his own observations with the predictions of these tech giants to offer a surprising and timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East—one that promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and progress.

Premier 12" Shallow Mount Subwoofer with 1400 Watts Max. Power
350 Watts Nominal Power
Unique Design with just 3-1/4" Mounting Depth
Small Enclosure Use (0.5 ~ 1.0 Cubic Feet)
Save $111, Regular Price $200
Suggested Price: $200.00
Our newest line of subwoofers are designed to provide wider installation options for a broad range of vehicles. These "Shallow-Mount" Subwoofers feature multiple patent-pending features to deliver the big bass performance of a full-size subwoofer, but in a compact design that can be installed either behind or under seats depending on the type of vehicle. The mounting depth is just 3-1/4" - less than half a typical subwoofer in this class.
This Premier® 12" shallow subwoofer handles 1400 watts max., 350 watts nominal power, and delivers deep bass with top-notch sound quality thanks to features like Pioneer's extremely strong and lightweight IMPP Composite Double Cone Woofer, the patent-pending M-shaped Surround, and more.
One of the new patent-pending features is called the "Air Suspension Control System". This design locks in air between the main cone and drive cone, ensuring smoother and more precise movement of the cones, for superior linearity. The locked-in air behaves like a spring, so there's no need for a traditional spider structure. The drive cone also deflects air pressure inside the enclosure, which further contributes to the remarkable bass of the small package.
|The available UD-SW12B Subwoofer Enclosure is the perfect complement for the Premier TS-SW1241D subwoofer. It features a shallow-depth design that makes it easy to fit behind the seat of many Trucks and SUV's, or use it in any vehicle where space is at a premium.

Bodega Bay Community Benefit for Grandmother Raising Quadruplets
This Saturday night we're going to a wonderful community event here in Bodega Bay. You may have read about Marilyn Collins, a grandmother who is singlehandedly raising eight-year-old quadruplets since the passing of her daughter last October. After the Press Democrat wrote a feature article in January, A Grandmother's Life Alters Course, a number of locals came forward and planned a fund-raising dinner to help out.
Saturday, March 20, 5:30-8:00 p.m. at the Bodega Bay Grange Hall, $10 ($5 for kids under 12) will get you live music, a dinner of clam chowder or pozole stew (spicy Mexican dish) with all the trimmings, and my personal favorite, a silent auction!
According to Deanna Osborne, one of the organizers, the outpouring of community support has been amazing. The event is being sponsored by the Bodega Bay Grange and Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise, and local businesses and residents have donated dozens of generous prizes for the Silent Auction.
Just look at these items, and this is only a partial list to whet your appetite. I can't wait until they open the bidding!
• One Week Timeshare in Las Vegas (Yes!)
• 4 Giants tickets
• Private VIP wine tasting and garden tour plus a magnum of 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (I want this!)
• 2 nights stay at Bodega Coast Inn
• 2 nights stay at Bodega Harbor Inn (my parents stayed here and loved it)
• Stay at vacation rental house, "Bella Casa" (we've stayed there, it's right across from Portuguese Beach!)
• Sonoma Coast Villa & Spa, 1 night stay plus 1/2 hour horseback riding
• Two nights at North Cliff Hotel in Fort Bragg
• 2 rounds of 18-holes of golf from The Links at Bodega Harbour
• Kayak rentals from Bodega Bay Kayak
• Dinner at Terrapin Creek Restaurant plus a bottle of wine (I want this too)
• Lunch from The Dog House (yippee, my daughter will be bidding on this one!)
• Two pizzas from Diekman's Bay Store (best pizza in town, get the garlic sauce)
• Dinner from Dinucci's Restaurant
• Lunch from Island Deli
• Meal at Lucas Wharf Restaurant
• Whale watching from Bodega Sports Fishing Center
• Crab Trip For Two from Fish on Bait and Tackle
• Trip for Two on Miss Anita Fishing Charters (fishing, whale watching, bird watching, eco-tour, or harbor cruise)
• Books from Copperfields Bookstore in Sebastopol
• A series of 3 1-hr massages from Yoga Bodega Studio
• Gift bags from Second Wind Kites
• Autographed baseball, card, & photo by Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, 2005, playing for Cleveland Indians
Plus clothing, fine art prints, paintings, jewelry, handmade dolls and many other exquisite items by local artists!
And if that's not enough to coax you, I should mention that the desserts included with the dinner are being donated by local restaurants including Bluewater Bistro, Terrapin Creek Cafe, The Sandpiper, and Brisas del Mar, plus more baked by talented volunteers. With my sweet-tooth, that alone is worth the price of admission.
Remember all this fun is for an important cause, the proceeds go the Lisa Collins Memorial Fund to help Marilyn raise her four grandchildren. Their mother Lisa was diagnosed with a rare cancer and died suddenly last fall, and the five now live together in the two bedroom house that was meant to be Marilyn and her husband's retirement home in Bodega Bay.
Dedicated volunteers have been working hard to plan, produce and publicize this event. In fact you can catch Deanna this Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. on KRCB-FM 91.1 spreading the word and drumming up additional support!
Tickets are available in Bodega Bay at Business Services Unlimited, the Sonoma Coast Visitors Center, Bodega Bay Elementary School and Tomales Elementary School. For more information, contact Deanna Osborne at 707-875-2798.

Honey Rosemary Chicken RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 4 8
I never get tired of finding new ways to cook with herbs! A rosemary marinade sweetened with honey gives this moist chicken wonderful flavor and a pretty golden sheen. —Elsie Barton of Hoover, Alabama
Recommended: 5-Ingredient Chicken Recipes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (7 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, vinegar, rosemary and oil. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
- Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Place chicken bone side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 170°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 6 servings.

Reviewed Feb. 13, 2010
"I've made this recipe over and over again. I substitute (1t) dried rosemary for the fresh. I've done chicken breasts, skinless thighs and I'm trying skinless legs in the crock pot today with the marinade. It's turned out wonderful every time with a wonderful flavor. Highly recommend this recipe!"

"Used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and reduced the cook time...came out great. But I skimped and used dry rosemary b/c it was what I had on hand and it stayed tough. Will definitely use fresh next time."

text: In preparation for my return to work, I began pumping about 4 weeks ago. My husband was giving our 10 weeks old DS a bottle every other day and he was doing great switching from breast to bottle. Overnight he stopped taking the bottle and screams bloody murder when we try. I have tried 3 different kind of bottles/nipples, I leave the room while my husband tries, nothing seems to make it better. Is there something else I could try? Returning to work in four weeks and have to leave the baby over night for the first time in two weeks. Starting to panic!

Reviews of this property
Apartment on the fourth floor without a lift and with a single flight of stairs to the floor so very steep and high steps. Not suitable for more than 20 years.
WiFi, when there was, slowly the 90 is not suitable for young people who want to play around on social, some big and some insect mouse (it is New York)
Appartamento al quarto piano senza ascensore e con una sola rampa di scale per piano quindi molto ripida e gradini altissimi. Non adatta ai maggiori di 20 anni.
WiFi, quando c'era, con lentezza anni 90 non adatta a giovani che vogliono smanettare sui social, qualche grosso insetto e qualche topino (ma è New York)
Spacious and clean apartment. Good beds and pleasant neighborhood. Maintaining contact was also very good and Mrs. responded quickly.
Ruime en schoon appartement. Prima bedden en prettige buurt. Onderhouden van contact was ook erg goed en mevrouw reageerde snel.
Everything was fine. Cute, functionally furnished apartment, a slightly different area away from the gigantic sights.Einziger sticking point was to climb the 4 or 5 floors after 12-14 hours on the road.
Alles war prima. Nettes, funktional eingerichtetes Apartment, ein etwas anderes Viertel abseits der gigantischen sights.Einziger Knackpunkt war, nach 12-14 Stunden on the road die 4 oder 5 Stockwerke zu erklimmen.
Stay for the first time in NYC perfect.
The apartment is well located, not far from the subway (2min walk) and the atmosphere of the neighborhood is pretty good, small grocery store just down the apartment and full of little shops nearby. The apartment is well maintained, with no particular problems. Really I recommend in addition to the joy of living and friendly welcome that Halyna you with open arms.
The only minor drawbacks that have not really affected the life of comfort in the apartment:
- Water pressure in the shower very small.
- Wifi network by risky moment.
- Insulation of the room windows facing street.
We had a lovely stay. Flat was very clean and looked exactly like on the pictures. It was warm inside and relaxing, beds are big and comfortable. Usual city buzz outside, but adds to the NY atmosphere. It is top floor apartment and first walk up seems hard but in few days it becomes easy. Kitchen is with all necessary equipment to cook meal and prepare nice fresh morning coffee. Location is nice with easy access to buses and subway. Connection between Newark airport is comfortable too, took us around 60 mins in a shuttle service which we used. There are plenty of restaurants and shops around and this city never sleeps! Our host Halyna was great, very helpful and easy to communicate. She made us feel comfortable and looked after us very well, thank you.
I can truly recommend this apartment and our lovely hostess Haly, took really good care of us making sure we had the best stay. The apartment was extremely clean and fresh, equipped with everything we needed. Beds were wonderful, good space in closets, quiet - no noice from the streets or neighbors. The area is great with lots of nice shops, restaurants and great people. Having spent a lot of time in NYC over the years, I can say that this apartment & neighborhood is absolutely the best!
Appartement dans ancien immeuble, mais bien situé avec environnement plutôt calme pour New York.
Bien adapté pour 4 personnes , 2 eme lit un peu moins large que le 1er, Halyna propose un matelas supplément au cas ou pas assez large.
Un petit détail sans grande importance : la cafetiere vraiment mini pour 4 personnes.
Apartamento muy bueno con camas muy cómodas e ideal pa bajar las hamburguesas neoyorquinas ya que es un cuarto sin ascensor
el lugar resulto tal cual se vio en las imágenes de la pagina de internet. Muy cómodo y aseado. Cuarto piso por escalera hay que ponerle voluntad y organización. Lugar tranquilo agradable y a mano en todas las direcciones de paseo.
Tuvimos algún inconveniente con wifi que a mitad de estancia fue solucionado de manera correcta.
Muy contentos, para recomendar. La anfitriona siempre muy agradable y atenta con los huéspedes.

My daughter is 8 weeks old and I am pretty much exclusively pumping bm for her feedings. She still nurses quite a bit every day and will occassionally have a good session in the middle of the night where she is satisfied afterwards, but mostly she nurses more for comfort because she doesn't really get serious about eating until she's given a bottle. My supply is well-established and I've been able to fit pumping into my daily routine to where my hubby and I have been able to go out and have sort of a life again. I even have a decent stash of bm in my freezer for when I go back to work in Aug.
My question is this: Is it too late for me to get her really eating from the breast? I've had sort of an empty feeling because I wasn't able to breastfeed her the way that I wanted to. The first couple of weeks I tried to avoid bottles but she would scream all night and I would sit up and cry feeling like my body was letting me and her down. I've tried taking her to bed all day and nursing in the bath tub...I've really enjoyed that time with her and it helped my supply to increase, but it didn't solve the problem of her not getting enough milk while nursing. Sometimes I think that I just need to be grateful that I was able to find a way to make it work and my daughter is still getting breastmilk, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on the "real" breastfeeding experience. Has anyone been in the same boat and made a turn around? If so, how did you do it?

Chicago 3rd grade teacher earns national recognition for "awe inspiring" impact on students
Cameron Elementary teacher selected for Milken National Educator Award
CHICAGO – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Milken Family Foundation announced today Chicago Public Schools Teacher Ronelle Robinson has been selected for the Milken National Educator Award. Robinson, a third grade teacher at Daniel R. Cameron Elementary School will receive $25,000 as part of the award.
"Teaching is much more than just instructing students in the classroom. It's a commitment to putting students on the right track in all aspects of their lives so that they can be successful not only in school, but life itself," said Linda Tomlinson, Assistant Superintendent at the Illinois State Board of Education. "I want to thank the Milken Family Foundation for their commitment to recognizing these teachers that go above and beyond."
Robinson's colleagues have described her impact on students as "awe inspiring." Administrators at Daniel R. Cameron Elementary School in Chicago are so impressed with Robinson's teaching strategies that they made her a mentor teacher.
"Other teachers routinely request release time so they can sit in on her classes and watch her teach," said Stephen Harden, Assistant Principal at Cameron Elementary. "She has so much to offer her students and her colleagues, she's truly exceptional!"
Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation was joined by football legend Rosie Greer and local dignitaries at an assembly at Cameron Elementary where the surprise announcement was made. The prestigious award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary teaching skills and a personal commitment to education. Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation which they can use however they wish.
Robinson, who has been a teacher for 18 years, is vigilant in seeking out professional development opportunities for her colleagues. She firmly believes that teachers must be willing to learn new skills and new methodologies to be the most effective teacher possible.
This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the Milken Educator Awards. Up to 80 recipients across the county will receive the award during the next six weeks. Over $60 million has been awarded to more then 2300 recipients, including the 2008 awardees. New winners will join the Milken Educator Network, a rich resource of educators and other influential leaders accessible to fellow teachers, legislators, school boards, and others who are shaping the future of education. Illinois joined the Milken Educator Awards program in 1988 and to date 106 educators across the state have been named National Educators.

St. Joseph's Doctor earns board certification
St. Joseph's Hospital congratulates Dr. Clyde Mitchell on receiving his board certification in hospice and palliative medicine.
"This is a great achievement for Dr. Mitchell and a testament to the level of care that he provides to our patients. In the entire state, there are only 11 family practice physicians who have obtained the hospice and palliative care board certification," said Sue Johnson-Phillippe, president and CEO.
Mitchell is the medical director of St. Joseph's Hospice program and a member of the hospital palliative care team. The team provides palliative care to patients and their families.
Palliative care focuses on goal clarification and symptom management for those with chronic illness, who are not approaching end-of-life issues. It assists them in dealing with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.
Hospice also provides end-of-life care, focusing on the person – not the disease. The program is designed to help patients live their lives to the fullest and assist their families in dealing with end-of-life issues.
Mitchell leads an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, medical social workers, chaplains, therapists, aides and volunteers. They provide care in the home as well as in the hospital, offering routine and continuous care, pain management and respite care for the family. His board certification ensures that the patients in St. Joseph's Hospice are receiving the highest quality hospice care.
For more information about palliative care or hospice care, anyone interested can call Jamie Rose, director of St. Joseph's Home Health and Hospice, at 304-473-6800.

First, I want to express my deep sense of sorrow for all of the families involved in this terrible crime.
The reaction of the German government, as much as we hate it, is only to be expected. We all know that paintball is on the fringe of the sporting world. It can only harm our cause to over-react and do exactly what they think a bunch of gun wielding yahoos would do. Now is the time to remember the example set by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. When confronted by those who sought to censor music, many rockers freaked out and got loud and caused a lot of trouble. This only furthered the push to censor music. But it was Dee Snider who apeared before the US Senate and elloquently argued for his cause. He was respectful of the views the board held, and at the end of the day earned that same respect.
In any type of activity society views as outside the norm or extreme, it is the vigilant and respectful support of its leaders that protect the right to continue. We must stand strong in our love for our sport, but we must do so with a level of maturity that goes beyond what is expected. Logic and thoughtful debate will show those outside of the sport that paintball is not something to be feared, but rather it is something that builds values like any other competitive activity.
So please be mindful of how you approach those who do not understand this sport. Instead of labeling them as ignorant the same way they label you as extremist and violent, take a moment to listen. Then when you have heard why they so strongly dissapprove do your best to give a logical argument for why you feel differently.
My heart truly goes out to all those in mourning. Be praying for them in what ever fashion you see fit. Above all represent our sport with dignity. Thanks.
Reaction to German Tragedy PLEASE READ!!!

And since stress is associated with all sorts of negative health effects like high blood pressure and a weakened immune system, taking a few minutes a day to fight stress keeps you not only happy and smiling, but healthy too.
"Daily hassles and annoyances can get to anyone, but small changes make a big difference," explains Judy Saltzberg, who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania's Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program. Here's how to keep smiling:
1. Take it outside.
Health bonus: Aside from melting away stress, you'll melt calories too!
2. Find time for tea.
Health bonus: Tea's antioxidants may ward off some cancers, improve heart health and decrease risk of stroke.
3. Pop a piece of gum.
Health bonus: Chewing sugarless gum after meals will not only reduce stress, but it can also help fight bacteria that cause cavities.
4. Indulge in dark chocolate.
Health bonus: Dark chocolate may also contribute to lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of stroke or heart attack by 39 percent, suggests a study in the European Heart Journal.
5. Stop and smell the flowers.
Health bonus: Smelling lavender before bed can help you sleep better, according to a study in Complementary Therapies in Nursing and Midwifery.
6. Flip your perspective.
Health bonus: A glass-half-full approach has been linked to faster recovery from injury and illness, according to research in the Journal of Personality.
After a few weeks of practicing these techniques, you'll not only feel happier, but you can rest easy knowing you're healthier too -- which is one less thing for you to stress about!

Despite rumors that he could return to FC Dallas for another season, it was announced today that midfielder Julian de Guzman has joined German second division side SSV Jahn Regensburg through the remainder of its current campaign. Follow GOAL.COM CANADA on Twitter
The 31-year-old Canadian international heads back to Germany, where he started his professional career after a stint at Olympique Marseille's youth system, after ending 2012 with FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. De Guzman was traded to the Texas outfit in July of last year by Toronto FC, with whom he had signed as the club's first ever Designated Player back in September 2009.
In four seasons with TFC, he made 93 appearances in all competitions, scoring three times. With FC Dallas, he featured 12 times with one goal.
Jahn Regensburg will be de Guzman's third European club since he made his pro debut in 2000, with the Toronto native having previously played for Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 and Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna.

The time I spent pond'ring "reflection" and "reface" -
There must be a way to work in the word "preface"
...Or maybe Bette Midler
...No, think of a fiddler:
The violin player we call Jascha Heface!
(Actually, I know a guy with that last name who actually pronounces it this way. Although he spells it "Heafitz" instead.)
Old musician's joke:
Overheard at Jascha Heifitz' debut - at age 16 - in a very hot and very-much-un-air-conditioned Carnegie Hall, 1917:
-- violinist Mischa Elman, mopping his brow: "Hot in here, isn't it?"
-- Artur Rubinstein: "Not for pianists!"
(It might even be not true. Many Most versions attribute it to the pianist Leopold Godowski. I've even seen one with Josef Hofmann. But it's more self-explanatory with Rubinstein...)
And where, you say, is "reflection" in all this? Why of course, that's the time I spent pondering.

A chert road in Tuscaloosa is named Shiver de Freezer
On a oak tree at it's end was hung Shiver de freezer
Sheriff Earl paid Shiver a dollar to vote
Shiver being Shiver votes the other bloke
Earl's horse dragged Shiver down to the oak;
Fret no more for Shiver de Freezer
Addendum: I didn't offer the two new game words earlier because this entry wasn't exactly in accord with the spirit of the rules and I hoped one of you would post your own rhyme using FRET and FREEZER. My own offering is a vanity piece because I wanted to encyclical this verbal bit of Tuscaloosa County folklore and/or history.

Oh my, I guess I'll have to play with myself.
My in-law is not my cousin, my ma, my pa, or aunt
Not uncle/ nephew/ niece, and certainly not a Saint
In bed we play Nintendo
Which is an innuendo
Now tell me who my in-law is; I've told you those who ain't
Edit: The answer to this riddle is wife-in-law or husband-in-law whichever reflects your situation. Blood kin are not supposed to marry, even those deep in the mountains of Mississippi.

My apols, jj - I didn't pick up on your edit, adding the next words!
Here's my effort
Not just one innuendo about me was cast
But many, indeed they came out thick and fast;
But my trusty old chain saw
Divided my ma in-law
And character slurs were a thing of the past

Darn, Rhube, you write so tightly. I am almost ashamed to follow your act...almost.
Pulling drawers and tagging toes in a morgue is happiness
You meet such intresting people - postmortemly, I confess
But I wanted to travel
Mysteries to unravel
You know, like a couchette counter on the Orient Express.
Oh well.

Installing Nautilus: An Emerging Linux File Manager
The Gnome Foundation: Is 'As Good' Good Enough?
GNOMEs in Paris: A Report from GUADEC
Related Stories:
Eazel Inc. is in an enviable position for a startup. It has talented programmers, experienced management, a comfortable cushion of startup cash, and lots of attention from the business press.
Jerry Borrell, editor in chief of Upside magazine, gushed in a June profile of the company, "Where do I line up to invest in such an 'it's only a matter of time before the IPO' firm, you ask? Through the wisteria-draped doorway of Eazel, on San Antonio Road in Palo Alto."
Much of this excitement comes from two things. The first is Eazel's corps of GUI whizzes, some of whom worked on the original Macintosh. The second is their product, the "Nautilus Graphical Shell for Linux," basically the Linux equivalent of Windows' file manager or the finder in Mac OS.
A good user interface for Linux has long been a Holy Grail for software developers, and one of the "killer applications" that many people have thought is holding Linux back from making major inroads in the desktop OS market. So as Eazel's all-star team is on the verge of rolling out Nautilus, it's tempting to agree with Jerry that the company is can't-miss.
Nautilus will be released under the GNU General Public License, which means it will be free. Which raises one little question: How will Eazel turn a profit?
"The sharing and collaboration that takes place in open source is what got us excited (about making Nautilus open source)," says Mike Boich, Eazel's president and CEO. "We thought briefly about writing and distributing proprietary software, but we decided it was against the grain and character of what excited us in the first place."
(Eazel's software is a part of the GNOME environment, which is included in most major Linux distributions including Red Hat, Mandrake, TurboLinux and others.)
You got a license for that?
Since "open source" is often synonymous with "free," it can be a little confusing trying to figure out how companies intend to make money on Linux software.
According to Mozilla.org, the GNU General Public License (or GPL) requires that any "derivative works" based on software covered by the GPL also be covered by the GPL, and that source code to these works be made publicly available. This means that any development that anyone does that is derived from GPLed code must also be made free.
Nautilus will be released under the GPL. However, because components (that is, pieces of software) work with Nautilus but are not a part of Nautilus, they don't fall under the GPL. Just as Sun Microsystems' StarOffice works with Linux but was proprietary (before Sun opened its source), third-party components for Nautilus can be, too.
Being free at the beginning of an application's life is one thing; being free for all time is another. For example, there's the crack-cocaine marketing model, where something is free until users are addicted, at which point it costs. Then there's the software variant of that, where the stripped-down demo version is free, but the fully configured application is not. Nautilus is free now. But will it cost money in the future?
"Never say never, but our policy is that all our software will be GPL software," Boich says, "although it's conceivable that third parties will distribute modules that will plug into Nautilus that are proprietary."
It's also conceivable that Eazel could partner with a third-party developer (such as Adobe for a Linux PDF viewer, for example) and even share a portion of revenue. But it's important to note that while these components work on Nautilus, they are not a part of Nautilus –- and are thus not bound by the GPL (see sidebar).
At this point, however, these partnerships and revenue streams are all hypothetical.
What's a little confusing about Eazel is that although it looks like a software company –- it has, after all, developed Nautilus –- Boich says that it's going to morph into a service provider. "What we hang our business model on is a network-aware, component framework that will allow us to provide services to our customers," he says.
The idea is for people to obtain Nautilus for free. Once they have it and have registered with Eazel, they will be able to subscribe to a service that will allow them to log on to the Eazel web site and get a variety of Internet-based services, including software updates and web-based storage.
Eazel is aiming to have a public beta of Nautilus and services online by the end of September. "At that point, we'll have a software catalog online, but ours will be tightly coupled to an installer in Nautilus, so that with a single click you can get software installed on your system. And over time that service will evolve to include auto update notification," Boich says.
While the details are still being hammered out, it looks as if the software catalog will be free, as will a certain amount of storage comparable to what other providers currently offer. The automatic update service will be part of a yearly subscription (expected to cost between $30 and $50 per year); extra Web-based storage will likely be priced on usage.
"There are probably 100 applications today that account for 80 to 90 percent of downloads," Boich says. "We'll make our best effort to enable users to install anything else, but with the caveat that we haven't tested all 10,000 applications, but we've tested the top 100."
"The overall gestalt is that of trying to provide services like a systems administrator, so that Linux users who are not virtuosos will get value from software."
The phrase "Linux users who are not virtuosos" sounds like an oxymoron. But for Eazel to be successful, appealing to those types of users will have to be the core of their business.
The virtuosos, after all, have in large part already made up their minds about Linux and, by extension, Nautilus as well. But the majority won't be that technically inclined.
Dan Kuznetzky, vice president of systems software at International Data Corp., argues that the most likely place for Linux to gain market share is in places where the computing needs are more transaction-oriented. The typical user in those situations is not an expert, but rather someone like a doctor, lawyer, or nurse.
"Does a nurse know or care what operating system she's using when running a patient tracking system? She doesn't care, she just wants it to work. If an error message showed up saying 'you're missing a dll,' she'd call security and say, 'Someone stole one of our dlls.'"
If that type of person has Linux at home, what is their motivation for subscribing to a never-ending set of updates if their computer, applications, and operating system already do what they're supposed to?
Eazel's answer to that is two-fold.
First, Nautilus's user interface and network integration are all designed to make it trivially easy for people to find, download, and install the software they want (provided, of course, it works as well as advertised).
Second, Andy Hertzfeld, billed as Eazel's "Software Wizard" on the company's Web site, says that as users download more software and plug-ins, they start to disagree with one another. The resulting problems are hard to troubleshoot, and frustrating for the user. Eazel's service will try to solve more of these disagreements before they even arise.
Will people pay for that kind of service? Bill Claybrook, a research director with the Aberdeen Group, thinks they will. "Many of the new people using Linux aren't necessarily techies," he says. "Businesspeople won't do it themselves. They will pay money to have it all on a CD, to get the documentation and support. I think you'll see a lot more of that happening, people buying it from the vendors."
Eazel runs on Linux, which is popular with techies for a number of reasons -– two main ones being that it's open source and it's not made by Microsoft. But for most non-techies, applications are more important.
"The thing that would make them switch are most of the applications we customarily use on Windows, especially the Microsoft productivity suite (Word and Excel)," says Claybrook.
"And the two have to be compatible, not just similar. More people will be using Linux on the desktop because of stuff like StarOffice (a Linux productivity suite from Sun Microsystems). Eazel is just a small piece of the puzzle. You can get a desktop from Eazel, but a lot of things you need you get from somewhere else."
IDC's Kuznetzky is more emphatic: "Eazel is dressing up Linux to go to the party, but not the tickets to get in. And the tickets are applications. If the desktop is pretty but has no applications, people won't buy it. Eazel, GNOME, etc. are a bunch of separate building blocks on which Linux can be built, but each alone is not enough."
Kuznetzky notes that Microsoft Excel has 94 percent of the spreadsheet market, and Word has a 95 percent share of the word-processing market. "That means that all the other vendors combined are squabbling over 5 percent," he says. "And even if they could get all the others to port to Linux, it wouldn't solve the applications problem. For example, if I was a consumer and I needed Quicken (if I needed it to be compatible with what my accountant has), I couldn't get it if I wanted it."
While Eazel is not in the application development business, they know how important applications are.
"We came into this with our fingers crossed," Boich admits, but the recent goings-on in the open source world give them cause for optimism. "We looked at StarOffice (an office productivity suite from Sun Microsystems) and said, 'Gee, I wish that were open source.' Lo and behold, Sun announced at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention that they were making it open source."
As a result, Linux users now have a productivity suite (StarOffice), a Web browser (Mozilla), and a file manager (Nautilus) for free.
"We call that a catalyst, and there's a credible group of companies developing a really viable productivity platform and web browsing platform," Boich says.
Despite the pedigree of the people working at Eazel and the positive reaction to demos of Nautilus, the Greek chorus of analysts seems to think a sexy interface like Nautilus won't be enough to make legions of people switch to Linux.
In other words, the company's fate is tied to a number of factors it can't control, most notably the growth of Linux, which in turn depends on applications.
If Kuznetzky is correct in thinking Linux will grow primarily on other devices, like set-top boxes and cell phones, it won't be good news for Eazel, because Nautilus only works on desktop machines.
Boich, however, calls the recent momentum of Linux "a juggernaut," adding "we couldn't be more pleased with the progress in the last 12 months. We drunk the Kool-Aid; we do believe this is happening. And we've seen a lot of dominos falling in terms of major OEMs supporting Linux."
Even if all that comes to pass, Eazel faces another obstacle. Despite its expertise developing user interfaces, the company's success will ultimately depend on service.
"Morphing into an ASP [application service provider] offering data backups and storage means they will be competing with managed service providers," says Stacey Quandt, an associate analyst with the Giga Information Group.
"There are certainly economics to merit this choice," she says, "since network attached storage alone is estimated to be a emerging billion dollar market. And if so, the focus moves away from the interface towards server infrastructure – something that Eazel, and especially its former Apple gurus, are not known for."
"The constant there is user experience, and providing a great experience between what Nautilus does now and what it will be doing in the future with services," Boich says.
Those are formidable challenges, and with any start-up, the future is highly uncertain. But if they're successful, the whole open source movement stands to benefit.
"Part of our challenge is to continue to improve the GNOME environment so that it will be more interesting and will win," Boich says. "So we're trying to strike a balance between contributing to the public good and revenue."

At least a half dozen churches in the Madison area are marking the first day of Lent by meeting the faithful on the streets.
Pastors plan to hit some of the busier intersections and streets Wednesday to offer drive-through Lenten ashes. Motorists don't even have to get out of their vehicles to have their foreheads smudged.
Five Madison-area Episcopal churches and Monona United Methodist Church are participating in the "ashes to go" program. St. Andrew's Pastor Andy Jones tells the State Journal they need to bring the church to the world, not just to those who walk through the church doors.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the Lenten season for Christians. Marking a cross of ashes to the forehead is a long held tradition.

I think it's pretty clear by now that despite the site being called "funny" junk, people will vote up whatever they enjoyed seeing for whatever reason. Remember when we spent like three weeks seeing nothing but **** from the Turtles channel? Or the feels channel, oh dear god the feels channel.

Over the last decade or so, Hollywood movies have cannibalized just about every aspect of video games, whether it's free-roaming cameras, huge boss-battle set-pieces or over-amped, bombastic action sequences, but formulaic action flick Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time manages to jack something you wouldn't think a movie would ever touch: The tutorial.
Tutorial levels in games are a necessary evil, of use to those few people who have literally never played a game before and don't know you look around with the right stick and move with the left. Prince of Persia treats its audience as if it has never seen a movie before, and must be led through the watching process slowly and laboriously.
Example: The scene where Jake Gylenhaal discovers the power of the Sands of Time of the title. He's carrying a stolen dagger with a prominent red button on the top, (it looks a little like a PlayStation Move controller, actually). In the middle of a fight, Jake/Dastan presses the button, and, wham: Time goes backwards a few seconds. The audience buys this conceit instantly. It's not complicated. But that isn't enough for PoP director Mike Newell. He repeats the sequence of events again. Fine. Good. We get it. Then, Jake Gylenhall explains the powers of the dagger. "Did you just see that?" he asks. "I hit this button, and Time went backwards!" Then he repeats the thought. "Time totally went backwards! Whoa!" I expected him to turn to the audience and lecture us: "Does everyone get it? I hit the button and time goes backwards."
The time-travel-dagger itself is an interesting game mechanic in Ubisoft's 2003 Sands of Time game, but as the Macguffin at the center of a film, it doesn't work that well. A device that can erase events makes for a fun game when you fall off a ledge and can reverse the mistake before you hit the lava, but in a movie, it makes an already light-weight plot utterly weightless. Who cares if someone dies when characters can just hit the mystical rewind button and bring them back?
Plotwise, it's standard issue, dumb-summer movie story time: The Prince and his Brothers rule an empire, but are suckered by the most transparent political ploy in film history. The king's brother, a shaved and goateed Ben Kingsley as Nizam, plants some weapons to cause an invasion of an innocent, spiritual city. I'm honestly not sure if the revelation of Nizam's betrayal is meant to be a surprise or not: It's telegraphed so blatantly by the movie's earlier scenes – Kingsley practically twirls his mustache and cackles -- that when he turns out to be evil, everyone knew it was coming, even people who didn't understand how the dagger works. Even people in other theaters, seeing different movies. Pro-tip for leaders of empires: Don't trust royal advisors who look like Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon.
Anyway, the Persians sack the peaceful city. Gemma Arterton meets Jake Gyllenhaal. The two handsome royals hate each other, fight over the magic dagger, begin to fall in love, lose the dagger, find the dagger again and otherwise move through a threadbare adventure plot toward a workaday showdown between Dastan and Nizam.
The plot only vaguely makes sense and the characters barely exist. In a game, you can get away with plot holes and stock characters, but here, since we're not controlling the main character, we expect a little more than avatars moving from digital set piece to digital set piece.
The acting is fine -- Jake Gylenhall tries, and Ben Kingsley chews scenery -- but the characters are so empty, there's nothing to grab onto here. Even the expensive special effects aren't that special. They're spotty. In some scenes, huge, sweeping vistas are created that seem utterly real, but in other scenes, simple animal effects look cheesy and fake.
Other than the tutorial, this movie takes little from the video game. The main character's skill at jumping around is intact, as is the setting, but Prince of Persia is more heavily indebted to the adventure epics of the 1950s than the video game. The film works, fleetingly, when it takes the anything-goes vibe of those old sword and sandal flicks and mixes in the joy of the Prince's Persian Parkour, but the movie is so dumbed down and over-explained, that even the nutty joy that might be derived from the Prince's frantic motion is quickly deadened by an over-reliance on digital effects, stupid and shallow characters and a boring plot.
Gamers: This is not the video game movie you are looking for. While it does nothing to actively destroy the Prince of Persia game franchise, even as mindless summer time fare, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a failure. It's a little like The Mummy, without the heart and soul.

- Abstract
- Semi-insulating InP was implanted with MeV P, As, Ga, and In ions, and the resulting evolution of structural properties with increased annealing temperature was analyzed using double crystal x-ray diffractometry and cross sectional transmission electron microscopy. The types of damage identified are correlated with scanning spreading resistance and scanning capacitance measurements, as well as with previously measured Hall effect and time resolved photoluminescence results. We have identified multiple layers of conductivity in the samples which occur due to the nonuniform damage profile of a single implant. Our structural studies have shown that the amount and type of damage caused by implantation does not scale with implant ion atomic mass.
