I know they're at least 3 ml, but not sure if they're 3, 4, or 5. If anyone knows for sure it'd be very helpful and much appreciated.
They look like they could be 2 or 3 ml.
As long as i remember its 3 ml.
The ones at Nordstrom's are bigger but don't stand up, cost half as much though.

I think they're probably 2.5. There are 2 different ones though. They used to have good 2.5 (maybe 3ml?) ones in the men's section, and then about a year ago they now only have the smaller 1.5ml atomizers. At least that's the case here in Toronto.

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
3 ml for sure. And there are 2 different shapes.
Are you referring to the atomizers that they decant for you when you want to sample fragrances, or the atomizers that they sell?
This is what they had when I went. 10mL? I think it's 10 I forgot lol

they have 5ml and 40ml glass atomizers inside a beautiful sephora casing.
They have plastic ones, I don't know what sizes they have coz I don't care for these ones. hahaha
My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
The rollerball and the sprayers are both 3ml and come with small funnels. Make sure the gaskets are snug but not too snug, otherwise they will leak. Do this and you'll be fine.
I like them because they are cheap, small and portable.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
At our Sephora the atomizers are 2 ml. They are 5.5 cm high and 12 mm diameter.
They used to have 2.5 ml atomizers but I noticed this past year they got smaller.
Edit: I am referring to the plastic atomizers the SAs use to give customers free samples.
Okay, to clarify, I'm talking about the ones they give you when you ask for samples. They hold a nice amount, but they only fill them less than 1/4 of the way. They use a funnel as well. The decants are kind of thick and come with a cap.
As Prim says, they sometimes do leak, and I notice the sprayers to become crooked, but I'm impressed overall with the size of the decant, I get about a good 15 sprays when filled up to the top.
I just measured one, and it's a little more than 3 1/2 inches tall with its cap on. About an inch and a half around, maybe slightly less; and a little less than a half inch across. Hope that helps in distinguishing which one this is. It's the standard size at my local Sephoria, I should have asked them.
I concur with Roses on the size of the decanted samples. I think they are 2 ml.
Some lazy SAs don't every fill up the vial. They scowl that you even ask. I drive 15 miles to a good Sephora where the SAs cheerfully make samples.
I asked for a spray vial once at one Sephora, and the woman pointed me to the $10 ones. When I explained that I wanted a decant, she gave me a dumb look. I finally insisted on a sample and the woman looked really put out. She needs to work at fast food and get out of retail.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
LOL Seriously. They're so full of themselves. I have been buying samples for the longest time, or getting them through individual companies via contacting them directly. But I see all these YT guys bragging about how they get free samples at Nordstrom's, Niem & Marcus, Macy's, and Sephora. So I figured what the hey, I had a 2 hour break from work, and headed down to the mall out here, went to Macy's.. no luck. Went to Sephoria. "We can only do 3 samples" is what I got from her. So as she was filling them, which she didn't look too happy with doing.. I started to talk about fragrances a little bit. I felt almost obligated to throw a compliment her way, so I said how much I appreciated the samples and how it's nice to be able to sample a fragrance and see how it develops on your skin before buying it. Her knowledge for frags was horrible though, she was pushing One Million and YSL La Nuit, which she labeled "L'Homme Black" on the bag. I didn't notice until I was walking out, and it surely made me laugh.
On the samples though, I wanted to be like.. WTF!! There's nothing in here. Seriously, if you're gonna take the time to get on your knees, go into the drawer, get 3 decants out, 3 new funnels, 3 bags, a pen to label.. and do all that, at least fill the samples up a little more. It's gotta cost more for the decanting supplies than the juice they're putting inside.
I've only gotten two samples from there before, 1 Million and the new The One Gentleman. The 1 Million the guy filled up two sample vials, which was probably a promo thing, but still very nice. With the D&G one, the guy filled one vial up to the brim. So I haven't encountered a cheapskate SA as of yet.
My 5 ml atomizers from Accessories for Fragrances are 3" tall, a little less than 1/2 inch across and have threads (whereas the little ones from Sephora snap shut, and leak when the SA fails to press firmly enough on the cap to snap them shut the whole way.)
So the ones you are talking about have to be at least 5 ml.
Pardon the dark picture, just to give you an idea. Here you can see I've compared it to a .5 oz bottle of Nautica Classic, and a 20 oz water. I think they are 5 ml as well, but just wanna make sure.
Uggh it'd be so nice if it said what size they were on the bottom or something.
Um, having just reread this now I'm thinking you may have 3 ml atomizers. Because with my 5 ml one I get a good 39 sprays out of it. If you are only getting 15 sprays, 3 ml sounds about right.
The plastic ones they give you free samples were only 2ml I thought. If you are SURE they are at least 3ml, I'd have to bet no more than that.
I've gotten many samples at my local Sephora and I've noticed at least a couple of different sizes in the vials.
The SA's have always been friendly and more than happy to make a decant or two (I don't try and push it). I'm usually in there to buy a small item for my wife (Valentine's day, Mother's day, birthday, etc.). That probably helps.
I have noticed, unfortunately, that the number of men's fragrances available has been reduced drastically in the past 6-8 months. Hopefully they'll get more in around the holidays.

Powerless Spell (3.5e Feat)
From D&D Wiki
This material is published under the OGL |
Powerless Spell [Metamagic]
You can prepare or cast a spell for use as a counterspell.
You can cast a spell in such a way that it has no effect beyond a simple light show, an obviously powerless version of the real thing with an instantaneous duration and no lasting effect. A fireball would only be a billowing cloud of hot air, a lightning bolt would become an obviously powerless, but still impressive, display of static. This allows you to show people that you have a powerful spell without expending a high-level spell slot, but the main use is in counterspelling. As it is the spell itself and not the effect that causes counterspelling, such a spell would have very little effect on the real world, but could still be used to counterspell. By giving up the entire spell effect, you make the spell easier to prepare and cast, so that a spell takes up a spell slot two levels lower, but never lower than level zero.
Spells whose effects are to negate or counterspell magic still lose their effect. So a powerless dispel magic can only be used to counterspell another dispel magic spell; it cannot be used as an attempt to counterspell any other spell (as that is the effect of a dispel magic spell, lost through the Powerless Spell feat). Nor can a powerless darkness spell be used to counter a light spell, for the same reason.

Wisconsin Concealed Carry Certified With Hunter's Safety
In November Wisconsin's concealed carry will take effect. The new law comes with some concern, specifically from the state wildlife officials. To have a concealed weapon permit, one must pass a Department of Natural Resources established class. Hunter safety falls into this category, so a person that completes hunter safety is allowed to apply for a concealed carry license under the state law. The Department of Natural Resources does not believe that hunter safety class really covers the training that concealed carry deserves. They are two completely different classes that cover different types of weapons.
DNR spokesman Edward Culhane has doubts. He says hunter-education classes aren't an appropriate substitute for concealed-carry training. He says there's a difference between hunter safety and self-defense, and also between firing rifles or shotguns and firing handguns. From WEAU.com.

hunter's safety is lousy for concealed carry.
Hunters safety is just a loop hole in to getting your concealed permit. plus it doesnt prepare you for any of the laws that can charge you for using your gun with just a hunters saftey class under your belt. If you pull out a gun on someone for "safety purposes", you can get seriously charged. It's a backlash for using hunters saftey as a way to getting your concealed. Happened to a buddy of mine. HS doesnt protect you. It's really just meant for hunting. taking the actual class required for the wisconsin permit protects you from any of the laws that could charge you from using HS to get your permit. I took my class at e2c like hammerhead and it covers me completely. Im making my wife take it next.
I have watched this one
I have watched this one coming for a while now and am happy to see Wisconsin join the list of states with a shall issue type system. I completely agree that a different type of class should be offered as there is just no comparison between a hunting license and a concealed permit. I don't think it's an issue of people getting angry and pulling down on each other but it's just that people need a clear understanding of when and where they should or can carry. Every state is different and you can get into trouble very easily if you don't know your laws. I've been carrying for two years now here in Colorado and can say for sure that most long time hunters have no clue the laws concerning concealed carry. They are all good guys but could easily get into trouble with no bad intentions just because they don't know the laws. For instance anyway it is legal for anyone to carry concealed in their car without a license, if you get out and walk around your in trouble but perfectly legal in your car.
Wisconsin CWP
If you have questions about the new Wisconsin CWP Law contact the Instrcutors at www.e2c.us or 1-866-371-6111 and they will be happy to answer them for you.
I agre with this. Being a
I agre with this. Being a person who carries a pistol for work, some times concealed, I can say that it's totally different than simply learning hunter's safety.
Sure, you will learn to properly handle weapons, but the use of these weapons under certain scenarios is totally different. Trying to draw a concealed pistol when in a life or death situation is not the same as lining up a shot on a whitetail.
I think Wisconsin is on the right path, but they need to re-word this law. Maybe they could offer some combination hunters safety and concealed carry classes, and kill 2 birds with one stone, but to just count one as training for the other is asking for trouble.
That too me just does not
That too me just does not sound like a good secanrio at all. For one that could put a pistol in the hands of every hunter out there and then they can just pack it away not seen. Might see an increase in some hunter to hunter conflicts that could result in a gun being drawn on one another. I too think that two seperate clsses should be offered. Hunting and self defense are two different things. I have heard from others one the main thing that an instructor will hit on in a CWP class is when to draw your weapon and whn not too. Not too many times in a hunting situation is our life threating by a another human.

UFO New studio album "Seven Deadly" will be released in February 2012
Nothing would be easier for British rock legends UFO than to rest on their laurels. The band could easily release the occasional best-of album to earn a few additional royalties and be content with looking back at their exceptionally glorious past. And it certainly wouldn't be a problem for UFO to sell out tours on the strength of their legendary name. But idleness or indeed a musical standstill have always been out of the question for Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond, Andy Parker, and Vinnie Moore. These in equal measures experienced and ambitious musicians are interested in the present, their love of creativity and the active continuation of their celebrated band history. And now we can look forward to Seven Deadly, the band's latest studio album which combines present and future with UFO's greatest fortes. Mogg, Raymond, Parker and Moore are set to release 10 brand-new songs on SPV/Steamhammer February 28th in North America.
The album will be released as a limited edition digipak (incl. 2 bonus tracks), a Double Gatefold LP with printed innersleeves and coloured vinyl, standard edition and download.
What is this bold thesis based on – in view of the countless classics the band has produced throughout its history? Not only on the fact that UFO have that perfect mix of talent, charisma and experience, but also on each individual band member, who currently all seem to be bursting with a zest for action and a wealth of ideas. Seven Deadly is an atmospherically dense fabric consisting of classy guitars, tight rock grooves and vocals which are unique to UFO. So it's no wonder that sound engineer Tommy Newton, in whose Area 51 studio in Celle, Germany, the new tracks were recorded, commented: "I've never heard a better Phil Mogg!"
The UFO frontman's thoroughly impressive vocal performance goes hand in hand with the awesome compositions on Seven Deadly. The classic rock of 'Burn Your House Down' features all the important UFO strengths, 'Going Down To Mojotown' sees the musicians sound tougher than ever, and last but not least 'Wonderland' features a pointed reference to UFO's early days. 'Angel Station' sees the band prove how classic rock music is complemented perfectly with epic elements, while 'Fight Night' is an excellent track to be performed in a live context. There's no need to draw attention to the technical skills of original UFO members Paul Raymond and Andy Parker, their music sounding inspired and faultless at the same time. Having said that, Vinnie Moore's exceptional guitar style deserves to be explicitly mentioned as well. The American musician not only lends the songs expression and power with his haunting licks and dynamic riffs, but also contributes solos on Seven Deadly which can only be described as absolute world class.
As already mentioned, UFO continue to be a live force to be reckoned with. Their UK tour has been scheduled for March/April 2012 before the band go on to tour the rest of Europe. A little note in passing: at the time of Seven Deadly's release, UFO will be performing at the Monsters Of Rock Cruise – The Voyage: there could hardly be a more fitting setting for this exciting new album!

Great news for sure. This band put's out great music time and time again.
They deserve alot more credit for there tenure More than Whitesnake, And Mettalica, IMO. Go see them if they land in your'e area you won't regret it. -
Now this is a new record that I'm excited about! I've seen UFO live many times, including three years ago, and they simply bring it hard every time!

(MDT) is in advanced talks to buy smaller rival Covidien plc (COV) in a deal valued at more than $40 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.According to the WSJ report, a deal, which could be structured as a so-called tax inversion, could be announced as early as Monday.The acquisition of Ireland-based Covidien will enable Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Medtronic to be domiciled in Ireland and take advantage of lower corporate tax rates.In such deals called inversions, acquirers buy companies domiciled in countries with lower corporate tax rates, enabling the acquirers to substantially reduce their own tax rates and also make it easier to access cash held overseas. The tax rate in Ireland is substantially lower than in the U.S.Medtronic, which makes products ranging from stents and heart defibrillators to insulin pumps, has a market value of about $61 billion. Covidien, a maker of devices used in surgery such as surgical staples, feeding pumps and ventilators, is valued at about $32 billion.U.S. healthcare companies are increasingly looking at inversions as an option as the U.S. overhauls its healthcare system under the Affordable Care Act. Some of these companies are sitting on huge cash hoards in their overseas subsidiaries and would be heavily taxed if they repatriated these funds to the U.S.In addition, hospitals in the U.S., to which medical device companies provide products and services, are seeking to reduce costs by consolidating their vendors.U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc. (PFE) recently made an abortive $116.6 billion takeover bid for British drug maker AstraZeneca plc (AZN, AZN.L) through an inversion. Parsippany, New Jersey-based Actavis plc (ACT) relocated to Ireland through an inversion.However, U.S. lawmakers are now targeting legislation aimed at curbing U.S. companies from doing inversions.MDT closed Friday's trading at $60.70, down $0.09 or 0.15 percent on a volume of 2.09 million shares. COV closed Friday's trading at $72.02, down $0.02 or 0.03 percent on a volume of 0.83 million shares. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com News Experience Pays: The 10 Oldest CEOs at Fortune 500 companies Clunkers and Blockbusters: The 10 Most Expensive Movies in history Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In April

November 13
Jaime Gil de Biedma
On this date in 1929, poet Jaime Gil de Biedma was born in Barcelona, Spain. Gil de Biedma was a renowned Spanish poet who wrote during the post-Spanish Civil War era. He earned a law degree in Salamanca, Spain. He grew up and lived in a society that was hostile to the LGBT community, but was openly gay, and expressed his homosexuality in his poetry. His works of poetry include "Companeros de viaje" (1959), "Moralidades" (1966) and "Longing: Selected Poems" (1993). Miguel Dalmau wrote a biography of Gil de Biedma, published in 2005, which made into a 2009 movie called "El consul de Sodom." Gil de Biedma frequently criticized the Spanish dictatorship in his poetry, and was part of the Spanish group of writers known as "el generacion del 50," who were seen as children of the Spanish Civil War. D. 1990.
"But time has passed
and I see the unpleasant truth
Growing old, dying
is the play's only plot."
"Pero ha pasado el tiempo
y la verdad desagradable asoma:
envejecer, morir,
es el unico argumento de la obra."——An excerpt from Gil de Biedma's poem I Will Not Be Young Again/No Volvere A Ser Joven

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
On this date in 1969, passionate critic of religion, author and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. Her family moved often during her childhood, seeking political asylum because her father, Hirsi Magan Isse, a Somali scholar and politician, was a revolutionary opposition leader. Raised as a devout Muslim, young Ayaan endured a traumatic genital mutilation when she was about five years old. Her grandmother had secretly arranged the religious rite to take place while her parents were out of town. In her early twenties, Ayaan was informed by her father that a marriage to a cousin in Canada had been arranged, and that she had no choice in the matter. Dramatically fleeing the marriage and seeking political asylum in Europe, Ali went to the Netherlands in 1992. There she earned a master's degree in political science and became a fellow at the Wiardi Beckman Foundation. She was first elected to the Dutch Parliament in 2003, as a representative of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy. A prominent critic of Islam, Ali spoke out publicly against the abuses of women under Islam. She was also active in seeking to reform Netherlands' handling of asylum seekers. Ali became a well-known in the Netherlands, making many TV and debate appearances, and writing numerous articles and two controversial books: The Son Factory: About Women, Islam and Integration (2002), and The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam (2003-2004). In 2005, Ali was awarded the Democracy Prize of the Swedish Liberal People's Party "for her courageous work for democracy, human rights and women's rights." She was named by Time magazine in 2005 as "one of the 100 most influential people in the world."
Exposed to western culture and values through her readings of literature, history and philosophy, including The Atheist Manifesto by Herman Philipse, Ali moved from Islam to atheism. Ali considered herself a Muslim until May 28, 2002, when she said she became an atheist while sitting in an Italian restaurant drinking a glass of wine: ". . . I asked myself: Why should I burn in hell just because I'm drinking this? But what prompted me even more was the fact that the killers of 9/11 all believed in the same God I believed in" (Interview, Swiss magazine "Das Magazin," September 2006). Ali penned the script for the film "Submission," which criticized the treatment of women in Islamic society, bringing her to international notice. Two months after the film's release in 2004, the film's producer, Theo van Gogh (great-grandnephew of Vincent van Gogh), was viciously murdered as he bicycled in Amsterdam by a Moroccan member of a Dutch Islamist terrorist. The assailant, who was later convicted, had pinned a death threat to Ali on van Gogh's body. Ali, who was already receiving security from the Dutch government, was forced to go into hiding. After some political concerns arose, she resigned from the Dutch parliament and moved to the United States, working for the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative political think tank. Ali's moving and critically-acclaimed autobiography, Infidel, was published in English in 2007.
"I had left God behind years ago. I was an atheist. . . . From now on I could step firmly on the ground that was under my feet and navigate based on my own reason and self-respect. My moral compass was within myself, not in the pages of a sacred book. . . .
All life is problem solving . . . There are no absolutes; progress comes through critical thought. . . . Reason, not obedience, should guide our lives. Though it took centuries to crumble, the entire ossified cage of European social hierarchy--from kings to serfs, and between men and women, all of it shored up by the Catholic Church--was destroyed by this thought."—Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel (2007)

Robert Louis Stevenson
On this date in 1850, poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Probably suffering from lifelong tuberculosis, Robert, as a frail, often bed-ridden child, let his imagination soar. Stevenson's classic A Child's Garden of Verses perfectly evokes childhood. Stevenson studied law, took the bar in 1875, but never practiced due to ill health. His early rejection of Christianity created a schism with his father, a fanatical Scots Presbyterian, who raged at his son, the "orrible atheist," as Stevenson wrote his friend Charles Baxter (cited in Who's Who in Hell by Warren Allen Smith). Escaping to London, Stevenson began contributing to leading magazines. He also traveled despite frail health. A walking trip in France produced Travels with a Donkey in Cervenne (1878). His first novel, An Island Voyage (1878), was followed by Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Kidnapped. Stevenson specialized in adventure and often dipped into the macabre, explaining: "But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the longest. Small blame to us if we give our whole hearts to this glowing bride of ours, to the appetites, to honour, to the hungry curiosity of the mind, to the pleasure of the eyes in nature, and the pride of our own nimble bodies" ("Aes Triplex").
In search of a healthful climate, Stevenson, who married in 1880, sailed to Samoa in 1888 with his widowed mother as part of the entourage. Daily prayers were conducted at his house there, apparently at the request of his mother. Two biographers concluded that Stevenson, while not wishing to affiliate with rationalist groups, was an agnostic. Biographer F. Watt (R.L.S., 1913) wrote that Stevenson "was destitute of fixed creed or belief, and that he is properly described as an Agnostic." In The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, published in 1994, a love letter included a touching line: "I believe in you as others believe in the Bible" (cited in Who's Who in Hell). Stevenson died of a brain hemorrhage in Samoa. Although his family erected a tomb with some religious references, one side carries a bronze plaque with Stevenson's lovely and secular poem, "Requiem": "Under the wide and starry sky/ Dig the grave and let me lie./ Glad did I live and gladly die,/ And I laid me down with a will./ This be the verse you 'grave for me:/ Here he lies where he long'd to be;/ Home is the sailor, home from the sea,/ And the hunter home from the hill." D. 1894.
"I am religious in my own way, but I am hardly brave enough to interpose a theory of my own between life and death. Here both our creeds and our philosophies seem to me to fail."
—Robert Louis Stevenson, quoted by biographer A. Johnston, R.L. Stevenson in the Pacific, cited in A Biographical Dictionary of Rationalists by Joseph McCabe.

Roy Torcaso
On this date in 1910, a leader in the church-state separation movement, Roy Torcaso, was born in Enumclaw, Wash. Torcaso, an atheist, filed his Supreme Court-bound lawsuit in 1959 when his application to be a Maryland notary public was denied on grounds that he refused to say he believed in god. This was a requirement to hold public office in many states including the state of Maryland. "The point at issue is not whether I believe in a supreme being, but whether the state has a right to inquire into my beliefs" (Washington Post, June 21, 2007). His case, Torcaso v. Watkins, eventually came before the Supreme Court, which in 1961 ruled unanimously in Torcaso's favor and said Maryland's requirements for public office violated his constitutional rights, specifically the First and Fourteenth Amendment and Article Six. The Constitution's Article Six states, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or public trust under the United States." Torcaso's case not only invalidated the unconstitutional law in Maryland, but also similar ones in Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Torcaso continued to be an advocate in the humanist movement. He was a board member of the American Humanist Association and a member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Executive Council. He was featured in FFRF's documentary, "Champions of the First Amendment." He also officiated secular weddings. A veteran of WWII and the Korean War, Torcaso was a bookkeeper up until the time of his well-publicized trial. He lost his bookkeeping job during the trial because his employer, a Bethesda construction company, did not want to be associated with him and his beliefs. This led to financial difficulty for the Torcaso family, but he continued to fight for his rights even when his children were ostracized by some of their neighbors. His case inspired his daughter, Linda Bernstein, to become a lawyer. Torcaso fought for racial integration of his neighborhood, attended pro-choice rallies, and supported the right-to-die movement. Torcaso had three children and was married for 60 years. D. 2006.
"He was an activist to the end of his life. He just did not believe that religion should enforce its views on the whole of society. He really believed that everyone should have the right to choose their own views."
—Linda Bernstein on her father, Roy Torcaso, in a June 2011 Americans United interview: "More Than a Minor Hero"

As if it weren't hard enough to be an endangered boreal toad these days, now even the state's schoolkids have turned against them.
In politics, it's often about the appearance, and the toads' long-lost cousin, the western tiger salamander, has become this year's cause for lawmakers, who have shepherded a bill through the Legislature making the salamander the "state amphibian."
Photogenic and plentiful, the tiger salamander is found in every county of the state -- and many places in the United States.
In discussing the bill, Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, talks about how the bill has become an educational tool for the schoolchildren who sought, and are now following, the potential passage of a new state law. Students have seen the bill through the drafting process, testified before the state Agriculture Committee and seen it advance in the House. After its likely passage there, it will go to the Senate to start the process again, and after passage there would land on the governor's desk for his signature.
It's a great learning tool, indeed, but do people really associate the western tiger salamander with Colorado, like they do the bighorn sheep (state animal) or columbine (state flower)?
This would have been a great opportunity for the children of the state to learn that the Division of Wildlife has worked in the past decade to stabilize the population of the boreal toad in the state, because the toads have been ravaged by the spread of a deadly fungus. By keeping the toads healthy, the state sees benefits to its fisheries and to mosquito control in an era of West Nile virus.
If ever a species native to Colorado could use a spot in the imagination of the state's children, it would be the boreal toad.
But Colorado already has a state insect, reptile, mineral (and gem!), and even fossil. If the tiger salamander takes the amphibian title, maybe the campaign next year could be to make the toad the state's signature endangered species.

Reflection: Hit the Target with Subtraction Number Sentences - Section 2: Whole Group Interaction
Watch my video narrative reflection. I really loved this lesson!
Hit the Target with Subtraction Number Sentences
Lesson 4 of 10
Objective: SWBAT create subtraction sentences within ten, both verbally and in written form.
Big Idea: Target math provides them the opportunity to have fun while creating subtraction number sentences. They will play a great subtraction game and then recreate their actions in written form.
Rev Them Up
There are two main pieces to prepare for this lesson and you have a choice in how you handle it; you can have the kids do it with you and give them counting and following directions practice, you can prepare ahead of time, or you can ask a parent to help.
The first thing is to prepare their math tool; a bead stick. The bead stick is made from a pipe cleaner. You can cut it in half like I did, or you can use the entire 12" length of the stick. The kids will need 10 beads threaded onto the bead stick. I curled one end of the stick up to make sure the beads stayed on, then I threaded the beads onto the stick and curled the other end up. I purposely selected beads that did not slip on too easy because I wanted them to have to move them one at a time and not shove a bunch all at once when they are working.
Many of my students are still developing good number sense and I did not want to confuse them in solving take away, with beads that are slipping side to side. 1.OA.A.1 wants our students to solve take away using objects and my less experienced students can do this with me planning ahead and building in support. I want them to build fluency in solving subtraction problems and the bead sticks with repeated practice will fulfill this goal.
Subtraction seems to be more abstract to little ones than adding. They can picture having some and getting more easier, than having some and part of them disappear. My students who do not have a strong one-to-one correspondence yet, literally need objects to see and touch and move.
The students can definitely help you create these, but I was under time restraints, so I prepped over the weekend and will have them ready to go. Check the resource section to see the bead sticks.
I will have the kids check them for me to see if I gave them all ten beads and practice sliding them one-at-a time across their stick. Look at the picture of their excited faces showing off their math tool. These will remind you of an abacus, which is exactly where I got the idea from.
Next, you need to prepare their targets. Look at the targets on the sidewalk in the resources. Look at the close-up pictures for you to see I made each one of them different. I went outside before school started to an area that I knew no one would be walking or would get wet during the day and drew the targets with sidewalk chalk. They are about six feet in diameter and I only used numbers ten or less.
You will also need a bean bag or some type of item to toss on the target, for each group you plan to use. I divided my class into four groups and used four bean bags.
Resources (5)
Whole Group Interaction
It's nice to take advantage of the wonderful fall weather and get them outside to do something different for math. This lesson also provides them with a tool to help with the accuracy of their answers by counting bead sticks (MP5).
Your students will be playing target subtraction. They will use a bean bag to toss at the number and use their bead sticks to solve their problem. It will be subtraction using numbers to 10. Every bead stick has ten beads. Whatever number their bag lands on has to be subtracted from ten and then they must tell me their subtraction sentence, ex. 10-4=6.
Try watching Target Math Explanation for an explanation as we began the game. I will divide my students into groups and sit in front of their targets. I will tell them to stay on the grass and off the concrete. This gives them enough distance to toss their bags. One selected student will stand up and I will walk her through the steps of the game and everyone else can watch. Watch the video taped explanation in the resources. This helped her use her math tool appropriately and built precision into the problem-solving. (MP5). Showing my students an example of how to play their game will help my visual and auditory learners understand what to do.
After that I will have every student stand in the front of the line and take their turn. They can tell the person behind them their math problem and solve it, then that second person can check their answer with their bead stick before the first person can go to the end of the line. After each student tells their math sentence, they will hand the bag to the next person and go to the end of the line and the game continues. This will be a great way for them to build fluency in subtraction and the foundation knowledge to decompose ten. (1.OA.C.6). Also, having the students check each others work will force them to critique the reasoning of others (MP3).
It is very important to have them state their problem verbally before going to the back of the line because it catches misunderstandings. If you do not have them telling what they found or understand, you will not know if they are comprehending or even playing the game correctly. Check out Scaffolding for a Student to see how I support a student who made a mistake on 10-10=0.
Resources (2)
Independent Practice
After we finish our target math game outside we will come back into the classroom and recreate some of the subtraction number sentences we discovered.
I will supply students with 3 copies of the bead problem sheet They must create six subtraction problems pertaining to our target math. I will draw a target on the chalkboard for them to pretend with and select numbers from and create their math sentences. You could have your students use their bead sticks to solve their number sentences or their fingers. I am going to have them use their fingers since that is a tool they will always have on them.
After I pass the worksheets out and draw the target, I will ask my students what number did every one of our problems start with outside? Ten is the number I want them to remember. We have spent our last few lessons finding the missing parts of 6, 7 ,8, and 9. I want this lesson to not only provide them practice in writing number sentences, but to see how numbers are connected together within the number ten. Watch the video in the resources of a student developing a bead number sentence.
The previous subtraction lessons have begun showing my students there is a connection between addition and subtraction and there are several strategies to solve subtraction problems, 1.OA.6. I have had students solve 7-4=3, by knowing that 3+4=7. I had a student solve 8-1=7 by telling me he could start at 1 and count up to 8 and find his answer for the difference. They are truly applying their growing number sense and having fun in the process.
Resources (2)
I ask 3 to 5 students to share out one of their number sentences and articulate the strategy they used (counting back, beads, drawing, using the addition fact, etc.) to solve the number sentence.

text: Nothing about the state court doctrine approving payments for dangerous, local service would allow pensions for indigent mothers and for the elderly, which states began to consider after 1910. Counties and railroads that objected to the new taxes could fight programs based on the old doctrine, established for firefighters, soldiers, and finally civil servants. State litigation provided one of the many grounds for contesting expanded welfare states in the early twentieth-century United States. Sterett demonstrates that state courts maintained a gendered division between the service that marked citizenship and the dependence that marked indigence, even during the promising ferment of the early twentieth century.

During Rupert Murdoch's long affair with New Labour, there were a few people on the left who went on expressing their loathing for the old rogue. The Guardian's Polly Toynbee springs to mind. But, for more than a decade, the man who had once been a hate figure became really not a bad chap after all.
And he certainly delivered for New Labour. Mr Murdoch's major contribution was as a cheerleader for Tony Blair's various wars. The Sun and The Times were enthusiastic supporters of the invasion of Iraq, and neither paper worried very much about Mr Blair's sometimes contingent relationship with the truth. Indeed, one wonders whether the British Government could have taken us to war in Iraq if, for some freakish reason, the passionately pro-American Rupert Murdoch had been against it.
Particularly when William Hague was Conservative leader, the Murdoch papers had it in for his party. The Times conducted a vicious campaign against his friend and Tory benefactor Michael Ashcroft, assisted by its allies in New Labour, before overstepping the mark by ludicrously suggesting that the billionaire was some kind of Central American drug runner. Despite Mr Hague's extreme Euroscepticism, the Eurosceptic Sun generally portrayed him as a nincompoop, and once famously represented him as a dead parrot on its front page.
That was the time, of course, now so difficult to imagine, when almost the entire media establishment, from the BBC to The Daily Express, was sympathetic to New Labour and the Tories were considered by all right-thinking people as a hopeless, nasty little sect. In those pre-Iraq War days, only The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph declined to join the party, though they sometimes despaired of the Tories.
Peter Mandelson's bitter remarks about The Sun last week should be interpreted in this historical context. No one in New Labour, apart from Mr Blair himself, was friendlier towards Rupert Murdoch, or more appreciative. Lord Mandelson did not fret when for several years we virtually lived in a media one-party state. Now, as The Sun switches its allegiance to the Tories, he puts on that splendidly bogus high-minded look and, in that pained way of his, waxes moralistic.
His argument against The Sun is wholly threadbare. He suggested that the paper influences Rupert Murdoch's Sky News which, in turn, influences the BBC in favour of the Tories. Surely he cannot believe this hokum. For one thing, Sky News has not been discernibly pro-Tory, and I challenge Lord Mandelson to produce an example of anti-Labour bias on the channel. For another, it is absurd to imagine the much larger BBC taking its cue from Sky News. What he said would not have passed muster in a first-term undergraduate media studies essay.
This is not to say, however, that The Sun covered itself in glory in the way it attacked Gordon Brown last week. Its own newly appointed political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, is said to have been discomfited by the severity of the assault. He knew the Prime Minister's eyesight is so poor that he cannot write legibly. Most people, including many readers on The Sun's website, thought Mr Brown was at least trying to do the right thing in penning a hand-written note, though obviously he should not have misspelt names.
The Sun's first major strike against the Prime Minister went awry and hardly redounded to the paper's credit. Lord Mandelson's remarks about the paper were not just wrong-headed but also unnecessary, given that public opinion had already rallied to the Prime Minister. Dominic Mohan, its new editor, should choose his next casus belli more carefully.
Whatever he does, though, we will hear a lot more from Lord Mandelson and others in the Government about the supposed iniquity of The Sun and the Murdoch press in supporting the Tories. A few like-minded commentators will crank into action. Evidently, Rupert Murdoch is acceptable to them when he supports a left-of-centre party, but he turns back into a dangerous monster who imperils the democratic process when he endorses a right-of-centre one.
An editor can't have it both ways with the watchdog
The Guardian drew itself up to a great height after last week's report by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) which concluded, rightly I believe, that there is no evidence of current illegal phone hacking on national titles, as the paper had alleged. It published an irate and lofty leader, and Nick Davies, the reporter who had suggested that phone hacking still goes on, and was more widespread several years ago at the News of the World than has been admitted, sprang into print. The Guardian even issued a statement dismissing the report as "complacent" and declared that the PCC does not have the "the ability, the budget or the procedure to conduct its own investigations".
I cannot recall a newspaper reacting in so high-handed a way to a report it did not like. The nearest memorable case happened to involve The Guardian. In 2003 its editor, Alan Rusbridger, talked about withdrawing from the PCC after it had ruled that the paper had been wrong to pay a prisoner for a diary which described his time in jail with the novelist Jeffrey Archer.
On the other hand, The Guardian has sometimes been on the receiving end of favourable judgements by the PCC, in which case it is perfectly content. For example, in 2006 it found in favour of the paper after a complaint was made about an article that drew parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa. In that instance The Guardian did not question the resources or methodology of the commission.
As a member of any organisation, one should learn to take the rough with the smooth. If Mr Rusbridger believed the PCC has been under resourced, he could have campaigned to do something about it, rather than attacking the organisation over rulings he dislikes, having embraced favourable ones. The Guardian assumes it occupies a moral sphere all of its own, and, if it says something is true, that belief overrides the opinion of all other earthly authorities, and doubtless divine ones too.
I hope Mr Rusbridger does not ever end up in court on a charge. Should judgment go against him, he will lecture the judge about his intellectual limitations, rebuke the jury, and declare he does not propose to serve any sentence that might be imposed on him. If he believes the PCC is utterly defective, he can withdraw his newspaper. Or accept its conclusions like a man.

New Short Sleeve Swiftly in Rocksteady - love!
New Power Y in Heathered Rocksteady. I am a sucker for the denim look. I am going to have to try this on. Love.
The details on the Priiti tank are just gorgeous. I am going to have to try it on even though it's not a very practical tank for me to own. (Update - Hmm, just read commentary about the top seam across the boobs being a bad look. It looks ok on a mannequin but may be not so nice on real people. Poo!)
Here is a photo of the new Priiti tank in Coal. It also comes in Black.
Photo of the Heathered Muted Mauve Scoop Neck tank.
I love how gorgeous Lavender Gray looks paired with Dewberry. This photo makes me want to get items in these colors so I can put them together this way. The tank is the Spin Me and the jacket is the Featherweight Hybrid Jacket.

How to make gold without opening the trading post.

Personally I've not been having much trouble with making money through the TP at all, sure "buy low sell high" isn't very profitable right now due to the tight margins, but that is just one of a myriad of ways to make money. If you stop to think about things and do a bit of research beforehand you should have no trouble.
This whole selling things for the vendor price +1c is actually amazing for somebody looking to make money with the right mindset ;) - AnonymousSeptember 20, 2012 at 2:04 PM
I salvage white gear/white trophy salvage items.
I then mystic forge blues and greens.
Any blues or greens i have left over from combining 4 at a time I also salvage. I found that I was salvaging most gear early on when the materials they broke down into were selling for more. Some markets have really calmed down in that regard. You just need to take the time to see if the cloth scraps (Jute, Wool, etc) are selling for more than the vendor price of the item you are about to break down (plus as small addition for the use of the salvage kit). Lately, that has meant selling most gear I find.

DeletezReactiveGamingz: You're video is a 1.5/10 STARS. Why? First you're accent when speaking english is horrible, you talk way to slooooooow, and you are monotone. Then, when you are talking about math you mumble on and don't explain it very well. Finally, your video is way to long and its too hard to understand half of what you're saying / mean.

As Teemu Selanne continues to defy father time — the 42-year-old has four points through two games this season — Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau tries to put Selanne's accomplishments in context.
On Monday, he tried again — and went big.
"I think he's the greatest athlete in the world for his age," Boudreau told the Calgary Herald. "I defy people to tell me what sport somebody his age is playing at the level he is playing at equated to the sport they're in."
Interesting theory.
Boudreau certainly argues his point well. In talking to the Herald, he pointed to other athletes at Selanne's age in their respective sports, and what roles they'd (theoretically) be playing:
"If you see it in baseball, he's a pitcher — he might be a relief pitcher or the knuckleball pitcher that the Jays got," Boudreau said.
R.A. Dickey, the knuckleball pitcher, is actually a mere 38.

Drawer Pull Jewelry Organizer
I know there are millions of ideas floating around out there about organizing your jewelry, and all of them are fabulous, so I thought I would share one of mine (hopefully its just as fabulous):
I made this using plywood, burlap, staples, ribbon and some wonderful drawer pulls/knobs.
First, I sawed the plywood to my desired size (be careful doing this, or you can just have the nice guys at the home depot cut it for you)
Then I cut the burlap to size and stapled it to the back folding it down like I was wrapping a present.
Then I measured where I wanted the pulls, drilled holes where they would go, then screwed in the screws and attached the pulls/knobs.
I also stapled some decorative ribbon across the top and used some more to hang the piece:
And here's the final product sans the jewelry.
With jewelry:
The ribbon also functions as a place to clip on flowers for your hair. Oh, and its also pretty :)
I used the knobs to hang my necklaces/bracelets and used the drawer pulls to hang my earrings.
This project only took me an hour to do and the cost was under $10. Of course depending upon the pulls/knobs, it can get more expensive. I found these knobs and pulls for about $1 a piece at Home Depot.
~Happy Creating~

big difference as it should be. My 5K pace has been as fast as 8:48. My marathon pace will be around 11. You have to take a marathon slow in the beginning and aim for negative splits. You are one speedy runner by the way. I am a middle of the packer and much older then you. Each distance has a different pace. I don't think anyone can run a 10K at a 5K pace or a full mary and a half pace. Wish I could but not happening for 26 plus miles.

Hey, Ron: Your 5K and marathon paces are very consistent with each other! In other words, if I only knew one of those two paces, the other is about what would be predicted with most of the formulas that have been designed for the purpose. And that's actually rather rare, because few people are equally talented at everything from 5K to the marathon. I'm curious about something: Have you raced much on the track? I wonder if your consistency would hold up at something like 800m or 1500m?
Anyway, I'm definitely NOT equally talented at the entire range of distances. My best-ever 5K was 18:53 way back in my younger days (6:05 pace). My best recent time as an old guy was 21:00 (6:46 pace). You'd think I could run a marathon in the 3:10s or 3:20s, but my only one was 4:19:35 (9:54 pace). In part, that's because I've never really taken the time to put in sufficient training mileage for a fast marathon, but mostly I just lack the patience and the slow twitch muscle fibers for the really long stuff. While my marathon time has a lot of room for improvement, it's just never going to be comparable to to what I can do in the 1500m to 5K range. I choose to focus on my relative strengths.

You guys are awesome! The marathon is a tough one to get feel for what you can actually do because there are just so many factors involved in the day of the race unless you have done a lot of them to judge from. For example running the same marathon several years in a row to see how you have improved or not would be a good guide. Anytime you can run the same race again on the same course in similar conditions, can you really judge what you can do. I am talking about pushing yourself to PRs. There are alway certain courses I knew I would get a PR on, or close to it, and other courses I knew I would not come close to a PR and would just record it in my running journal as a Personal Course Record for that course. So, I can see that it is sometimes tough to know what is the fastest pace you can hold for a marathon.

My 5k PR is 18.22.28 = (5.55) mile pace.
My Marathon PR is 3:06.11 = (7.06) mile pace.About judging your Marathon pace. I think even the average runner can judge what pace they are going to run in the Marathon if they are in great shape. I do, however, think you might have an edge on someone else as far as pace goes if you have completed a few or more Marathons. But personally if you do alot of local racing at any distance I think it's fair to say you can (Guesstimate Your Pace) for 26.2-miles and get pretty close.
In 2003 when my buddy Nick and former training partner had moved back home we decided to start training again. I had the intentions of running another Marathon, and soon after that Nick dedcided he wanted to run his first one. We trained mostly running long slow runs during the week days with a longer run of 3-hours on Saturday mornings We had a goal in mind of running the course record which was at the time 3:10.00. That makes the pace (7.15), so we were thinking of holding 7.10's which comes out to 3:07.46 for the Marathon.
At the half we were at 1:33.30. (7.10) pace for 13.1-miles = 1:33.53, so we were right on pace. Nick was feeling a little tired so he motioned for me to go on. (We had already decided that beforewe actually showed up to race). I picked up the pace a little more and was around 2:21 at 20-miles which is under our goal (7.10) Marathon pace. Later Nick told me that he was around 2:24 for 20-miles and that is right there. I think 2:23.20 is actually(7.10) pace so Nick was only a second if that over our goal pace. But dehydration had set in and we both hit the Marathon wall. I knew it just beofre 20-miles even though I was still on our goal pace, but my pace soon went down hill and I finished with a time of 3:25.23 which comes out to (7.50) mile pace. Nick dropped out at 22-23 miles, but just before that he was right om pace.
My point being. It was Nick's first Marathon, and if he had not hit the ole Marathon wall due to dehydration I truly believe he would have broke 3:10 on his very first attempt. Plus I would have too. (It was my 8th finish). I was feeling it just before 20-miles and had enough left to keep pace, but I faded to running slower and slower. I had my pace pre planned before the gun went off and still came pretty close. My 7th finish was Boston 2000 which was 3-years before that. (I love this site, and as you can tell I love to talk about running). I wish you, your family, everyone at Dailymile, and their famalies a happy (Labor-Day) weekend. Great Discussion, Ron. ( =

Dec '06 half mary 8:00 (Charlotte, NC)I was under-trained for the marathon having done three long runs of 10, 14, & 16 miles. After Chicago, I ran 14 every Saturday until Dec and had a great half. I've gotten a little faster over the past few years and will probably have another go at the half and full one of these days.

If TOR does well then no doubt EA will want to develop a Mass Effect MMO but that would be 4 years away at the minimum.
^As a PC gamer, that doesn't really affect me. Even so, from what I gather there's no solid information on just when the next generation of consoles are expected so it's doubtful any companies will be planning their releases around that.
Apologies for the double post, but it looks like the voting is over and Bioware have announced that GingerFemShep has won. Not by as huge a margin as in the last round though. The raven haired FemShep came in a relatively close second with 12,905 votes to Red's 19,692. By way of contrast the blonde and brown haired choices came in at 5,465 and 5,590 respectively. So pretty much a two horse race, though not exactly a close run thing.
Just had a look at the high-res image and it looks like they gave her green eyes and freckles to match. Neat. If only MaleShep looked half as interesting. Maybe next they should try voting on a new default MaleShep so he doesn't look quite as much like just about every other video game protagonist from the last decade.
Except Male Shep has been on the box for the past two games, which might lead to a new one on the box invoking "Who the hell is this guy? "
^One assumes this look will also be available in-game to replace (or supplement) the existing default FemShep. It won't affect any of my existing saves as I already have plenty of FemSheps and I'm not sure if it's worth paying the extra tenner to get the collector's edition--I think I can live without a robotic dog and a set of weapons that are probably either over powered or useless after level 5--but still, it's nice to see a strong female protagonist getting some attention. Plus I'm sure the trailer will look cool. As for those out there in the interwebs complaining that she looks too pretty to be credible (though in a rather less articulate manner) I think someone here already posted this Penny Arcade strip that pretty much encapsulates my attitude. If I have one criticism though it's that she looks a little too young. Shepard was supposed to be what? 29-ish in ME1? Granted 22nd century modern medicine and the Lazarus Project may have rendered biological age somewhat irrelevant...but still.
I don't get a "too young" kind of vibe off of her. I feel she looks as if she might well be anything between 25 and 35
I suppose it's pretty subjective. It might not be the face itself but the more subtle head to body proportions. Perhaps it's just my old artistic training kicking in but generally speaking, larger heads on smaller bodies usually means a younger character and the head here is a bit on the large side. Not that I expect that to translate back into the game model or anything. This is clearly (at least partly) digital painting, not a rendered 3D model.
I like the redhead I do also in real life but, i´ve got my good ol´ male Shepp waiting for me to bring him back to life in Mass Effect 3 ;D
Just for a lark I thought I'd have a go at recreating the new default shep with the ME1. I have to admit I got closer than I thought possible (I'd say about 75% allowing for the absence of the right hair style, complexion texture, nose width and lip colour.) I might have a go at recreating it in ME2, just to see if it looks any better.

Hugo du Plessis' contribution to the reformed Churches' struggle for a relevant mission and missiology

dc.description | Thesis (Ph.D. (Missiology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004. | |
dc.description.abstract | It was the aim of this research to investigate Hugo du Plessis' contribution to the GKSA' struggle for a relevant mission and missiology. It became apparent in the course of the research that Du Plessis contributed in a meaningful way towards the Reformed paradigm for a relevant mission and missiology. In the Dopper churches. Hugo had a great reputation, which is fully justified. He was the first Dopper missionary who stayed in a mission field for a considerable period and who, as a result, could show a church that endured after years. Many people admired him as "our missionary, the expert on mission and on the language and cultural anthropology of the black peoples". Mission-minded Doppers were not critical of him at all. On the other hand, in those years mission and intensive contact with black people on a spiritual level were still relative novelties to the average Dopper mind. There were those who did not trust any missionary, because they suspected him of undermining "their Apartheid policy". Between these two extremes, there was a majority who were neither enthusiastic nor hostile towards mission. This picture only changed radically when Dr Jan Schutte succeeded in bringing Prof J H Bavinck to Potchefstroom for a year. Knowing how much suspicion he might create, Hugo was very careful not to offend the Afrikaners. One should understand this attitude, since suspicion against him of being a "liberalist" might slow down the flow of funds for mission and eventually force him to leave the mission field. At that time the very fact that one was a missionary was sufficient to mark one as "eccentric" in some circles. So if one finds traces of racism and support of "Apartheid" in the life and works of du Plessis, one should keep in mind that he was a child of his times, even though he was ahead of most of his compatriots in his views. The very fact that he and his wife were willing to endure the hardships of a mission field at that time speaks of his dedication. However, it seems he was a far greater success as a theologian than as a missionary. | |

The Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy K-8 public charter school is located in suburban St. Paul. It appears to be is an Islamic school operating illegally at taxpayer expense. Among other things, the school's principal is an imam and almost all of its students are Muslim. It is housed in a building that was owned originally by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota (I'm not sure who owns it now). The school has in any event had a mutually beneficial relationship with MAS Minnesota since the school's inception. The study of Arabic is required at the school. The Arabic comes in handy for the Koranic studies that follow the regular school day.
The ACLU Minnesota has brought a lawsuit challenging the legality of the school's operation on public funds; the lawsuit is pending in federal court in Minnesota. Prompted by the reportage of then-Star Tribune metro columnist Katherine Kersten, the ACLU Minnesota commenced an investigation of the school. Concluding that the school was in fact operating illegally as a religious institution, the ACLU Minnesota filed the lawsuit. The ACLU Minnesota is represented in the lawsuit by one of the most prominent law firms in the state.
In her Star Tribune column "Affidavits portray TiZa as threatening," Kersten detailed some of the evidence that TiZA has sought to intimidate witnesses, including an affidavit filed by former MAS Minnesota spokesman Khalid Elmasry. Elmasry is also a former officer of the entity created by MAS Minnesota to hold the building in which TiZA sits.
Elmasry recently testified about TiZA before the Minnesota Senate subcommittee on charter school lease aid. In his testimony Elmasry confirmed the substance of Kersten's reportage about the entanglement between MAS Minnesota and TiZA, and also vividly described the modus operandi of MAS Minnesota officer and TiZA principal Asad Zaman. This is the testimony that Zaman aired at a TiZA parents' meeting in mid-January, leading to the situation described in Elmasry's affidavit. Video of Elmasry's testimony is accessible here beginning at around 51:30 and going until about 90:00.
To repeat, TiZA is a public school. It appears to be operating illegally as an Islamic school on public funds while engaging in threats to protect against the disclosure of evidence regarding its operation. This is a big story in a variety of respects — from the misuse of public funds to the establishment of Islamist outposts and the commission of illicit acts to keep the lid on. Yet apart from Kersten's column, the story has been greeted with the big silence.

This was a pretty simple game. The only hard part was keeping track of where you were and where you had to go. The HO part was easy and the storyline was OK. This was good to pass the time but would be great for beginners. I did like the sliding scenes and the colors were good. Other than that it was kind of boring. See more See less
it was a good game. i just can't believe i beat it so fast. i enjoyed playing tarot's misfortune. See more See less
One of the better HO games. Especially like it since there are no limits on clues, and they recharge quickly. It has enough difficulty to keep it interesting but not so easy that one gets bored. Also, there's logic to solving the puzzles which I like. Highly recommend this game. See more See less
Very good game! The graphics were better than expected, the plot was interesting and kept you on your toes. I like the way they had mini-puzzles to keep it unique, very addictive game! Would definitely reccommend! See more See less
I found it very easy.I agree that the graphics could be better,and it got a little boring towards the end. See more See less

My new book, Happier at Home, comes out in less than a week, zoikes. So brace yourself, here comes some promotion!You've been warned.
If you read this blog, I hope you'll consider reading Happier at Home. "Um, why should I buy your book," some people have asked (or if they didn't ask out loud, they probably thought), "when I can read the blog for free?" Other people have asked, "I read The Happiness Project; is this book more of the same?" Here are some reasons to read Happier at Home:
1. One smart friend who has read both said she thought the blog was process, the book was conclusion. The ideas in the book are presented in a more distilled, thoughtful way, and the book framework allows me to tell longer stories and explain more complicated ideas.
2. The Happiness Project is broad and lays out general principles; Happier at Home goes deeper into the one particular area of life that, at least for me, is the foundation of happiness. My sister, in fact, says she likes Happier at Home better than The Happiness Project. (And there are more words of wisdom from my sister the sage! You can't get enough of that.)
3. If you've been enjoying the blog, and you'd like to share it with a friend, you can give the book as a gift. You can't give the blog as a gift. Or if a friend was a fan of The Happiness Project, you can give Happier at Home.
4. As a writer, my specialty is endings. If I do say so myself, I'm really good at writing an ending. And this ending is the best ending I've ever written. Even better than the ending to my college application essay or Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill.
5. In a book, you can more easily take notes about what applies to you and your happiness project. Underlining, highlighting, and taking notes in the margin allow you to engage with the material.
6. In Happier at Home, I write about many episodes and ideas about happiness at home that I've never mentioned elsewhere. Also, I include photos from my own home (which I took myself).
7. Many of my readers have written that they want to buy Happier at Home to show their support—a "thank you" for everything I do for free. Which I very much appreciate.
Bonus: Have you ever wondered whether writers really do use writing devices like motifs, the way they talk about in English class? Well, I do! The book has a very explicit motif. I always include them, but this one is much more obvious (to me) than I usually use. I'm curious to see if other people notice it. To me, it seems blaringly obvious, but after all, I put it there. If you read the book, see if you can identify it.
If I've convinced you, and you're so inclined, pre-orders gives a big boost to a book by creating buzz among booksellers and readers. So buy now! Holiday gifts for friends and the whole family!
As a thank-you for people who pre-order, I created a fun one-page guide on "Patron Saints." You can request it here. (Well, truth be told, you can get it even if you don't pre-order.)
If you're thinking, "Yes! I'm intrigued! But, Gretchen, how can I learn more about Happier at Home?" you're in luck. You can…
– read an excerpt from the chapter on "Time"
– listen to a clip from the audio-book
— watch the one-minute video trailer on "Ten ways to be happier at home"
— come to an event
— request the one-page book-group discussion guide
– watch the Behind-the-Scenes video ( spoiler alert, I reveal the motif there)
