Federal government initiatives such as the Digital Education Revolution, National Secondary School Computer Fund and Building Education Revolution have probably artificially inflated people's understanding of education financing.
Funding ICT (information and communications technology) infrastructure in a blanket wat through a mass roll-out is probably unsustainable.Many schools and leaders in the education sector recognise that rolling out devices is not sustainable and not necessarily the answer to improved education outcomes.
A recent IBRS (
In the IBRS report, some of the key issues surrounding BYOD in schools raised by round-table participants from across Australia and New Zealand included why BYOD was needed and its cost. They were also interested in what a future BYOD policy would look like and what other schools might be doing. All very similar to questions confronting Australian business.
One particular school, which was not part of the IBRS report, is Queensland's Murrumba State Secondary College. The college has implemented a BYOD policy this year for a small cohort of students. The school's applied technology department head,
He says there was no point doing it if it wasn't going to be a win/win situation for students and improved education outcomes. "It can't be just a tool; it has to be part of the education process."
Murrumba already provided many devices internally, but the BYOD program has been focused on normalising digital technology in the classroom.And while business is a lot different because education is not about making or saving money, there is a lot to learn from the Murrumba model.
On what sort of devices students could use, the school was quite bold. Students could bring in any device with a minimum seven-inch screen. No-one could bring in a smartphone but Rogers says there is a wide array of devices, including Android devices, iPad minis, run-of-the-mill notebook computers, newer laptops and regular iPads as well.
Myriad devices
"There is currently a myriad of devices in the classroom, but every device logs on to a client virtualisation network," Rogers says. "The Murrumba virtual environment allows students to log on to a larger environment so every student (no matter what the device) connects to something much larger. They're immediately accessing a much higher-spec environment than their device, allowing them to undertake large tasks on a low-end device."
The school has had larger set-up costs because the network requires much larger server space than normal, although the college is absorbing the costs as parents are providing the devices. Dell is providing the school's server space in partnership with Citrix and they're providing back-end support.
"The students have secure access to all the software on our school server but they can't access it at home as there isn't remote access at this point," Rogers says.
One of the key issues raised in the IBRS report was the level of upskilling and training that teachers would need to work with BYOD. At Murrumba, teachers were not asked to have knowledge of particular devices. Students were logging straight into a virtual network, which offers the same software they were using on internal devices.
"The image teachers were dealing with was the base computer – not a multitude of devices," Rogers says.
This has other benefits that in many ways make things easier than they were before. For example, when the school's IT department has to upload data and new software, it now only has to upload to the base computer.
"In the past you were pushing updates out to multiple devices whereas now we're only uploading once," Rogers says.
BYOD has had a simple but profound effect for students. Rogers reckons that in the past the computer in the classroom was just a tool, whereas by putting the ownership of the device on students, they know it is theirs and that they need to look after it.
"We've had to build a responsible-use policy around the devices and we did have to offer a level of induction to students and parents about looking after their device and ensuring it was always stored properly in a protective sleeve."
Rogers says the dream is to put everything into the cloud. And he's confident that by normalising digital technology in the classroom, educational outcomes will continue to improve.
"I think it's a pathway we should be following."

The Eight Hottest Beauty Trends You Need to Know Right Now!
Want to look as hip as your favorite celebrities this fall? Check out the hottest trends you need to know about right now!
So, you want to look at gorgeous as your favorite celebrities this coming season? I've got you covered: from ombre hair color to vampy red lips, here what you need to look glam and gorgeous this forthcoming season…
1) Textured/wavy hair – Super flat, pin-straight hair is dead and in its place are waves and texture in every style from an updo to ponytails, like the one Dianna Agron recently sported. Recreate the look with a great texturizer like Frederic Fekkai Wave Creating Spray.
2) Ombre hair color – Stars like Rachel Bilson are refusing to choose between blonde and brunette and are choosing an ombre effect, with dark roots that grow lighter toward the ends. Keep your colored hair in excellent condition with Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment.
3) Luminous skin with simple makeup – Flawless skin that seems lit from within (as seen on the gorgeous Molly Sims) is an alternative to heavy makeup. Get the look with Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15.
4) Vampy red lips – Lips are a big note this season, with stars like Taylor Swift rocking the signature look of the season: a come-hither scarlet red. Get the look with your own perfect red, like Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in Absolutely Irresistable Red.
5) Bold brows – The eyes definitely have it this season and strong, bold brows with defined arches like Katy Perry's are in demand. Keep defined arches in shape with M.A.C. Impeccable Brow Pencil
6) Icy pink blush – Cool pink cheeks seem almost doll-like on gorgeous celebs like Kelly Osbourne. Get your own take on the look with NARS Blush in Angelika.
7) Heavy black eyeliner – Defined eye makeup is really popular and can be seen on virtually every celeb walking the red carpet like Demi Lovato. Be sure to use a waterproof version like Benefit BADGal Waterproof Liner.
8) Blue and purple nail shades – Seen on stars like January Jones on the Emmys red carpet, variations of these two colors will be the hottest things on everyone's fingertips. Check out celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann's Dark Side of the Moon (a deep plum hue.)
Now that you're armed with the best beauty trends, go forth and get shopping. After all, you want to look your best in case your own personal paparazzi show up and start snapping photos of YOU!

Is there a way to point out which languages support the 'opposite' language's paradigms? I.e. Haskell and Clean both allow strictness. ML lets you write lazy code if needed. Just don't want to give the (harmful) impression that you can never get strictness in Haskell, noting that Clean now sells itself as a "strict and lazy" language. -- Don

Friends, there are some projects that I work on behind the scenes here at Positively Splendid that it takes all I can muster to keep a secret. Today happens to be a very special day when I get to finally share the very exciting details about one such project!
Over the summer, I was approached by Jo-Ann and HGTV with an amazing opportunity to create a mantelscape for a friendly contest with four other amazing bloggers, the winner of which would have the opportunity to see her design featured in this year's HGTV Holiday House. When I received that call, I was obviously over-the-moon excited, and honored to be in the midst of so many other talented designers. There was only one teeny, tiny problem: since the contest happened to fall in the midst of our cross-country move from Tennessee to Texas, I didn't have a mantel at that point to decorate. Fortunately, my gracious sister-in-law allowed me to descend upon her home on a sweltering Texas summer day, Christmas decorations and glue gun in hand, to turn her living room fireplace into a veritable winter wonderland!
Over the course of the next two weeks, HGTV is giving YOU the chance to give your input on which of the five mantel designs is your favorite, and then one of the lucky designers will see her design come to life in the 2013 HGTV Holiday House. Incredible, right?! Ready to get the full tour of the design I came up with to add to the mix? Today I am going to share the full reveal of the my rustic-luxe holiday mantel, and then over at Made + Remade, I will share the how-to's for many of the projects incorporated into the design. Let's get to it!
Modern, traditional and homespun elements all coalesce in my rustic holiday mantel design, which represents a fresh take on a mainstay of holiday decorating. By juxtaposing numerous textures and mediums, this mantel display imparts a luxe yet masculine feel to holiday décor.
Rich earth tones coupled with on-trend metallic hues provide the palette for this mantelscape, which features a swag of fresh greenery as its backbone, peppered with natural pine cones woven grapevine balls. A set of faux antlers further enhances the natural feel of the display.
Taking center stage are three topiary trees, created using Styrofoam cone bases, assorted fringe trim, and wood finials.
Flanking the topiaries are sequined decorative balls that mimic the natural beauty of iridescent Capiz shells.
A simple feather boa swag is the backdrop for handmade matelassé stockings with faux fur trim and a lavish sateen bow in robin's egg blue.
A spray of earth-toned feathers with a single peacock plume imparts a sophisticated touch.
Rounding out the display are three decorations crafted with handmade felt star ornaments and small grapevine wreaths. The ornaments spell out a word befitting of the season: Joy.
The complete tutorials for the topiary trees, the faux Capiz shell balls, and the felt star and grapevine wreath ornaments are featured on Made + Remade, so be sure to check them out!
And while you're there, if you would leave some comment love for my project, it would mean the world to me! 🙂
Later this month, HGTV will announce the winner of the Mantel Design Challenge when they roll out the full reveal Holiday House, which is going to be absolutely stunning, inside and out! Some of the most talented designers around have worked hard to fill the home to the brim with inspiring holiday ideas. You won't want to miss it!

Wellington 19
Waikato 14
Pacesetting Wellington have plenty of frills but it was their defence which won the day as they maintained their unbeaten record this season, against Waikato in Hamilton.
Battling Waikato had the position but not the slick attack in the final stages of the ITM Cup premiership clash, as Wellington landed their eighth straight victory, by 19 - 14.
Wellington were all over Waikato in the first half but never mind, they still had to play second fiddle to one of the best sights in world rugby - Ben Tameifuna with ball in hand, goal line in sight.
The home crowd had to wait until close to halftime before witnessing this happy meeting, but it was worth the wait.
Waikato had launched its only decent rumble of the night and when the mighty 140kg Tameifuna got the ball, there were three players in his path.
That didn't last long as he steamrolled ahead.
Wellington had plenty of decent tricks of their own.
Victor Vito's beautifully timed and presented pass led to the Lions' first try.
They laid the charm on thick for the second as well, with fullback Joe Hill completing the try with a nice feint, although Waikato helped by adding a few players to the paltry spectator numbers.
The second half produced an early highlight. Waikato's little halfback Brad Weber scuttled off on a fabulous break, only to find the Lions prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen standing in the back field. Toomaga-Allen took hold of his prey and drove Webber back most of the distance from which he had come.
But that was nothing compared to the cracking Wellington try that followed, with the scorer Ardie Savea involved twice, and wing Ambrose Curtis giving a top notch final pass in a tackle.
Wellington 19 (Afa Fa'atau, Joe Hill, Ardie Savea tries; Lima Sopoaga 2 con), Waikato 14 (Ben Tameifuna try; Trent Renata 3 pen).
Halftime: 14 - 8.

There is something eating away at this country.
A dark, oppressive cloud hovering over America.
Rush Limbaugh said on Monday that America is dying.
We are in the throes of the worst terrorist attack since 9/11. Poison-laced letters are making their way through the mail. Bomb threats are now a daily occurrence. Boston is being managed like a war zone, with other cities quickly falling in line.
With all of this going on, Barack Hussein Obama stood in the Rose Garden yesterday and threw what can only be described as a temper tantrum.
He didn't get his way—universal background checks for all gun sales—and proceeded to threaten and cajole America for daring to engage in the democratic process.
If it would have been any other day in America, we would have chocked it up to a normal occurrence in the Obama administration.
But it was not a normal day. And there won't be a normal day for a while.
How could Barack Obama stamp his foot and shake his fist in the midst of a crisis for something that a recent poll said about 4% of the public thinks is important? It doesn't make sense. It is like something out of a Twilight Zone episode.
It only makes sense if the something that is eaten away at this country, oppressing us, and poisoning us like a toxic cloud, is Barack Hussein Obama.
North Korea is threatening nuclear war, the Middle East is slowly being taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood (who we happen to be in bed with), and our economy is on the verge of collapse as we approach a $20 trillion national debt.
And what is Barack Hussein Obama doing? Playing golf. On another vacation. Hosting a star-studded, multi-million dollar "soul music" celebration and throwing tempter tantrums.
It doesn't make sense.
It only makes sense if the something that is eating away at this country is in fact Barack Hussein Obama.
And that is exactly what is happening.
It is time to accept the truth, however hard to swallow as Americans, that Barack Hussein Obama's goal is to destroy the United States of America.
Go ahead, let everyone cry "conspiracy theorist" until hell freezes over. There is no other explanation.
Obama has turned America into a police state, with TSA agents' presence expanding by the day.
Cameras peek into every nook and cranny of public space.
Bush's Patriot Act has been discarded for something completely new: simply spy on everyone and everything.
The Utah Data Center in Bluffdale, built by an army of 10,000 construction workers and due to open in September, will be the biggest spy center in the world. The one million square foot facility is so massive that it can store every single electronic communication for the next 100 years—and still have room to spare.
What exactly will the Utah Data Center be storing? Emails. Telephone calls. Tweets. Facebook posts. Travel records. Credit card transactions. Bank records. Stock market trades. Google searches. In a word: everything. Oh, and by the way, this will all be done without a warrant, without a subpoena, and without any due process at all.
And this is just the beginning. What good is a surveillance state unless you have a totalitarian government to operate it? And all totalitarian governments require some type of crisis to usher in the supposed saviors. For Hitler, it was hyperinflation, with the Reichstag fire as the cherry on top. With Obama, it will be the collapse of the dollar followed by total economic collapse.
Conspiracy theory?
According to a highly-placed source in the intelligence community, as reported in the widely read article "Intelligence Insider: Obama Administration Agenda to Kill U.S Dollar," this is exactly what Obama is planning. The first thing to go will be the stock market, falling free fall, losing 95% of its value. Next, Obama will kill the dollar. Last but not least, the U.S. economy will be buried in a shallow grave in an act of Obamanation.
Progressives, wake up. Republicans, open your eyes. Obama's no moderate, no liberal, and no Democrat. He's a globalist, through in through.
The intelligence insider goes on to say that after the collapse of the stock market, the dollar, and finally the entire U.S. economy—long after the European Union has collapsed—a call for a world currency and world government will be shouted from the highest globalist mountains, supposedly to avert another worldwide economic crisis—no doubt with Barry Obama as the Pied Piper leading us into destruction.
America will become only a dim memory.
Want to know what America—or what is left of America—will look like under a continued Obama presidency?
Remember how the Left cheered when their hero Senator Obama vowed to close Gitmo? When their Messiah won the presidency, he not only didn't close Gitmo but put the terrorists' trials in indefinite limbo.
According to a prisoner's statement smuggled out on April 14:
I've been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime. I have never received a trial.
Yes, there's trouble in paradise. Gitmo is a model of what America will become under Obama's second term. Prepare for indefinite detention. Prepare for a total surveillance society. And prepare for a New World Order.
Welcome to Obama's fundamental transformation of America.

Following on the footsteps of the recently announced "3DMark for Windows 8" benchmark, Futuremark has revealed that the company is developing a new 3D benchmark called "3DMark for Android". You've guessed it right, Futuremark is developing one 3D benchmark to rule them all.
We have received press release stating that Futuremark Corporation is announcing the foundation of its Benchmark Development Program for tablets powered by Android operating system.
The first product coming out of that BDP is a next-generation benchmark "3DMark for Android" (working title), with the goal of becoming an industry standard gaming benchmark for tablets. With this announcement, its official that the targeted platforms for 3DMark 2012 are both Android 4 tablets and Windows 8 devices – an interesting prospect.
Futuremark wants to attract "companies involved in the manufacture of Android powered devices are invited to join Futuremark's Benchmark Development Program to play a critical role in the development of 3DMark for Android, from initial specification to final delivery."
Jukka Mäkinen, CEO of Futuremark said, "in 2012 we will bring 3DMark to the Android platform with a professional grade benchmark that can be trusted by manufacturers, suppliers and vendors to provide the definitive measure of gaming performance on Android while showcasing the very best in real-time graphics and effects."
We also caught up with Oliver Baltuch, President of Futuremark about the promised result compatibility between the two. While the benchmark development is in very early stages, the company wants to have comparable results between the two platforms and in about a year from now, the traditional "AMD vs. Intel" or "AMD vs. NVIDIA" debates might take a backseat to "3DMark Android 4 vs. 3DMark Windows 8".
The benchmark will measure gaming performance using CPU, GPU rendering and physics tests, using OpenGL ES API as the primary graphics interface. Results will be comparable through Futuremark's ORB database.

For those of you that have Top Speed Exhaust or thinking of getting. Must Read!!!
So I was thinking of getting the Top Speed Race Muffler and did some research. Noticed some discrepancies betweeen some of the models that have been for sale and floating around. I'm probably going to jump on the first link. One day sale ends today and its a great price. Just want to wait for some input.
Exhibit A. The Actual Top Speed Muffler
Notice in the following picture it has the top speed badge and the brackets have holes in them. (Price $413-$459)
Exhibit B... Another Claimed Top Speed Muffler that looks 90% similar but even cheaper in price
Notice in this picture, different bracket and titanium tips. These other versions come both titanium tip and non titanium. BUT most important. (Price $300-$400) Didnt see a Top Speed badge but not sure if it is on the bottom or not there at all
Exhibit C Another Top Speed Similar Version Non Titanium
Different Bracket. Didnt see a Top Speed badge but not sure if it is on the bottom or not there at all
This one even claims to be top speed if you look at the part number in the listing.
Members I've noticed that actually have the Top Speed Exhaust with badging and proper brackets welded were:
MarqE46 (vegas crusing videos)
Member DavidFSU seemed to have recieved the second one with different welds.
Now I noticed some members had fitment issues and whistle noise. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this and see if they are the second exhaust versions of the Top Speed. They look very similar. Those different brackets could be causing the bad fitment and the whistling could be from a leak. What strikes me as odd is also that Exhaust A and Exhaust C look like they are resting on the exact same tile floor but they are infact different. I am not sure if this is the seller being smart to try to trick people to assume its the same exhaust as the other listing. And the picture from Exhaust A (the original) is the EXACT same picture on the topspeedauto.com website. And they claimed its the exact same exhaust.
I tend to do my research for anything before I buy in depth. I hope this helps everyone, I am not saying whoever bought the second version got screwed. I just want to help straighten out the misconceptions. Let's get some input.
I noticed MarqE46 never mentioned any fitment issues, so hopefully he can give some input to start us off since we know he has the original.
This is the one I have that sounds like a$$.
I have a feeling it may be something in the Y split at the tips that's causing the whistle noise. I sort of want to hack that off and find out.
Who else has this exhaust that can chime in?
I really think it's a manufacturing fault in the Y tips. Thats the only place that has a sharp enough edge to create a whistle.
I cant get them hacked off now, cousin sold it. Oh well.
Mine never whistled, i have the topspeed exhaust.
known1, what version do you have and what vendor?
Mine sounded great..im selling in for 200 never whistle, no fitment issue
Sent from my PC36100 using Bimmer App
HEy I bought the first top speed race exhaust and yeah I have that whistle. only minor fitment issue tips are not perfectly straight but oh well. its loud and thats what I wanted. I only get the whistle at redline 8krpm.
Bub Rub whistle tips?
I know this thread is old, but it's still worth keeping alive. I too have the whistle tip sound at high rpm. Really lame.. It's from about 6k to redline. The exhaust sounds good otherwise. And anyone who has heard these know that they are reeeally loud. I'm definitely okay with loud cars and even for me it is right on the borderline of being too loud!
I am working with George from top speed to get the whistle resolved. They are willing to pay for a muffler shop to fix it if they can do it without too much trouble/expense. Otherwise, i'm gonna send it back for a refund :(
Good news, mine is fixed. No more whistle whatsoever! Mark from Marco Muffler in Sacramento was able to figure it out and have it fixed in an hour or so. The problem is in the tips. The single pipes that split out into the Y-tips had too small of an inner diameter for the amount of exhaust flowing through it at high RPM.
Thankfully it didn't have to get hacked into pieces to get rid of the whistle. He just used a carbide grinding bit to grind down the lip that was created when welding the tips on. This increased the inner diameter of the each pipe right before the Y split, allowing for better flow of exhaust gas at high RPM. Low and behold the whistle is completely gone.
For those of you who don't have this problem, you guys got lucky and got one that didn't have the little extra bit of restriction in the pipe right before the tips. For those of you that do have this problem, it can be resolved :thumbup:
I sort of want to hack that off and find out.
Can someone else confirm this is the solution??
I have the 1M exhaust it doesn't do that...

Giving Peace a Chance in Afghanistan
By Michael Shari
The scene: The inauguration ceremony of the new Afghan government in Kabul on Dec. 22. When the 500 or so Afghan war veterans and tribal leaders in attendance at the Interior Ministry auditorium stood at attention for the national anthem, about a third of them wept, wiping their beards with the lapels of their heavy leather jackets. Rashid Dostum and Ismail Khan, two powerful warlords who had threatened to boycott the ceremony, showed up after all, and Khan embraced the newly sworn-in President, Hamid Karzai.
For a country that has known nothing but war for decades, this was an encouraging sign. Power had changed hands peacefully. The clatter of AK-47 automatic-rifle fire, which had become as common to Kabulis as the honking of taxi horns is to New Yorkers, has simply ceased. The armed thugs in unmarked military uniforms who had been stopping cars at "road blocks" and collecting "tolls" after dark have vanished -- at least for now.
And then something took place on Dec. 23 that most Kabulis had never seen -- an antiwar protest by academics from Kabul University. They marched past the central bank, demanding over a megaphone that the peace be allowed to hold.
The question is: Just how long will the peace hold? Some diplomats in Kabul are frankly surprised that the calm has lasted thus far. The consensus had been that no agreement could hold together without the support of Dostum's army in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif and Khan's army in the western city of Herat. Neither man has hidden his disgruntlement over being excluded from the 30-member Cabinet that the Northern Alliance, which now controls Kabul, negotiated in Bonn in early December.
Despite fears for the worst, Dostum, Khan, and other players appear to be on their best behavior. The reason: Pakistan, Iran, and the Central Asian republics have been using Afghan guerrillas as their proxies since the U.S. abandoned them after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989. Now that all the nations in the region have agreed in high-level U.N. meetings to uphold the Bonn agreement that resulted in the new government, opposing the Karzai administration would be impractical, points out Ahmad Fawzi, an Egyptian spokesman for the U.N. in Kabul.
Already, some encouraging signs are surfacing. On Dec. 23, senior U.N. officials met with Dostum to seek his assurances that food-aid convoys would be allowed to pass through his territory to reach refugees stranded in the north. "Dostum pledged that he'd do everything he could to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid," says Fawzi.
Can peace hold? "You can't exclude any particular outcome at this stage," says James Dobbins, U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan. In addition to the whims of Afghan guerrilla leaders, much will depend on political will in Tehran, Moscow, Islamabad, Washington, and Central Asian capitals. But so far, so good.

Replaced kitchen appliances after 15 years due to a remodel... Purchased all new Whirlpool appliances at Lowe's as that is what we had before with few or no issues.
Nothing but trouble and complaints are falling on deaf ears.. have replaced all the shelves in refrigerator as plastic is breaking around the tempered glass cost is $ 50 each with no help from Whirlpool or Lowe's. Microwave has been worked on at least 3 times and now there is an issue with the venting system and lights... Whirlpool oven and stove have had numerous problems with touch pads, heat sensors, etc. etc.
Our other Whirlpool appliances were still working when we replaced them and we have had nothing but problems with the new ones...
Big difference is the old appliances were manufactured in the USA the new appliances are manufactured in MEXICO...
I am saving now to replace all these lousy pieces of crap with something that will work...

New Issue: Design v. Audience Considerations
May 20, 2008 at 7:43 PM
Add to Delicious or Add to My Yahoo!
Digital Web is happy to welcome Robin Ragle-Davis to the magazine with her first (and top-notch) contribution: Design Decisions vs. Audience Considerations. No doubt many of us think our designs could benefit from more user attention, even beyond what effort we currently put in. In want of time and resources, it helps to be very clear about audience and design, and Robin helps draw clarity out of any project. Definitely give this one a read, and add focus to your audience awareness and wireframing.
p.s., Thanks to all our readers who posted nice comments on our twelfth birthday!

Yesterday, Kool A.D. of Das Racist fame released a free mixtape titled 51. It's a sprawling tape, championing backpack-style loop-digging as well as the grimier sides of club hip-hop, all in homage to Kool's Bay Area roots. You can stream or download the tape over at Mishka's Bandcamp page.
As per usual, Kool's thoughtful verses are packed with bits of hilarious wordplay and joyful Dada nonsense. Or, to put it in a more tongue-twisty manner: The lines are littered with languidly literary language that I'd like to make more lucid. The tongue-twisters that appear on almost every track are treasure troves of references. Here's a parcel (five, to be precise) of them, parsed out for your pleasure.
01. "See how the medium mediate the me's that you see me by/The TV eye"
Looks like Kool A.D. is mentioning Marshal McLuhan, who said, "the medium is the message." The T.V. Eye is a reference to a Stooges song, a track less concerned with media studies: The band's song refers to "Twat Vibe Eye," as in an ogler's peeper. Considering Kool's preoccupation with female genitalia, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew the meaning of that Stooges track as well.
02. "Text messages, sex, breasteses/Mexicans, Africans, Americans/African-Americans/Born Jamericans/Very, very high/Theramin, seraphim, terrapin slow/Where the pin go?"
The first half here is pretty typical Das Racist material, using a nonsensical list of race names to point out the silliness and irrelevance of those titles. Kool then breaks into a surprisingly evocative ode to weed (most of the time he's content with just mentioning that he smokes it every day). Theramin because they make spooky space noises, seraphim because they're angels high in the sky and a terrapin because that's a sluggish turtle. And the pin thing–well, of course, if you get really faded, you're bound to misplace a thing or two.
03. "Life is but a Creamsicle/A clean nickel will get you a mean tickle/The dream is to ream lickle teen chickles/And get the green no pickle fo Schickel/stack pancakes/Mike Bickle"
If life's a Creamsicle, I'm not sure which part is the zesty orange coating and which part is the creamy vanilla interior, but OK, A.D. I originally thought "fo schickles" was just playing along with the same license that has allowed Kool to rap "lickle" and "chickle," but apparently there was a character on the Showtime drama Queer As Folk named George Schickel who sold pickles. Go figure. Next, Mike Bickle is an American minister who founded an evangelical mission organization called the International House Of Prayer. I think you can figure out the rest. Interestingly, they apparently focus on fasting as a route to God, meaning they probably don't get to enjoy pancakes that often.
04. "Fuck with Short Cuts like I'm Robert Altman/Fuck with long shots like I'm Robert Altman/Fuck with actresses like I'm Robert Altman/Recycled like half a verse, but that's art man"
Not exactly a tongue twister, but try saying Robert Altman ten times fast. Short Cuts is an Altman film and long shots are an Altman aesthetic staple. Only one of his spouses was an actress, and not a particularly famous one at that, but I suppose "fuck with" can be interpreted loosely.
05. "I hold money/Herb, cookies and apple juice/Coochies and acid too/Titties and kitties/Cities and nations"
Makes sense that he would mention money first, as that resource can procure most of what follows, like cookies and apple juice. Forget rock 'n' roll: Kool's into sex, drugs and wholesome childhood delights.

So off we went to get stamped out of Bolivia . . . With our backpacks on, we walked across the road blocks of Peru and headed toward the shores of Lake Tikicaca. Crossing through fields and farms we went in search of the rumored fast boats. On the way we encountered Fatima and Genevive (French gals) who had apparently spent all day trying to find these fast boats. They were bogged down with heavy luggage and gifts they'd bought to take home with them (if they could get home). We joined forces to try and set off to find the fast boats. Some locals offered to "help" us, but it turned out they were mostly interested in getting money from us. In the end, we missed the boats (which may have been too packed to absorb us anyway) and we had to drag ourselves back across the border and back into Bolivia for the night.
The next day we all got up early and, with dozens of others leaving Bolivia, we piled onto a bus that took us back to the border. Here, we again walked across the border stepping over rocks and tires blocking the way for vehicle traffic and we headed down to the shore. Thankfully, this time, the boats were there! Here we all slowly, 5 or 6 at a time, loaded ourselves into row boats that took us out to the big, slow, passenger boats that would finally get us to Puno, Pero at the southern end of Lake Titicaca. YAAAAA! Even though this boat ride was 8 long hours - we were happy to safely make it across the border . . . at least to Puno, anyway.
We joined forces with a few more friends we met on the boat (plus our French friends) and we all went out to dinner in Puno, treating ourselves to well-deserved pisco-sours. The next day we went in our separate directions, as backpackers do, and continued our journey from Puno to Cusco, Peru. Unfortunately there were still impassable roads ahead. What was should have been a 6 hour bus ride became a 12 hour ride, because the bus would have to bypass the main road, taking rough back roads to get there. These roads proved to be to quite rough for one of our tires that blew out on the way. And since we were in the middle of nowhere, we had to drive for a good hour on a shredded tire before they could change it! Stuck again, we headed off for a walk to enjoy the surrounding area and roaming llamas. We were pleasantly surprised to see that were able to change the tire without proper tools and we were on our way in about an hour. . . to at last arrive in Cusco!
Note: Within 2 days of being in Cusco, we bought a flight out . . . we had enough with ground transport adventures! At least for a while anyway.

Does anyone know if the PK-AS-S scopes are still available anywhere?
Probably via Tantal, or Freedom Optics... ??? I need to get one too!

Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley recently held book signings and a Q&A at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, CA. I did some investigative journalism, pretending not to hear the security guard who asked for my "student I.D." & sat front row to jot down pages of notes to bring to you.
Photo from Teen Vogue's Bergdorf book signing in NY by Julia Chesky
A gaggle of fashion students sat in Room 500 of the FIDM building buzzing about courses, clothes, and Halloween plans in their best "I don't usually wear this to class" ensembles. Apparently, the place to be this Halloween is Santa Barbara…
"We're sorry to keep you waiting, but Amy is running a little late, she had to take a call from Anna Wintour, I'm sure you understand."
An audible gasp then collective giggles broke out around the room. Soon after, some FIDM figurehead or another introduced "Amy Astes" as a former Art History major, who once worked with "Anna Wintar." A little cringe worthy, but Amy politely corrected her, she was an English major at Michigan State, and all was quickly forgiven. The fashion aspirants were all smiles, sitting with eyes wide and notebooks ready as Amy took her spot at the head of the classroom. I whipped out my pen and took 4 pages of notes, just for you.
Amy's Beginnings
– though she trained to be a ballerina, Amy always loved writing and aesthetics, ending up an English major at Michigan State, where her father was a professor.
– first editorial job was as an assistant at the late House & Garden, where she learned the ins and outs of publishing.
– when HG folded, a Creative Director she had impressed on the job recommended her for a position at Vogue where Anna Wintour tapped her to launch Teen Vogue
– Teen Vogue spent 2 years in development, and after 4 test issues Conde Nast decided there was real potential in the market and deemed TV viable.
– Was massively intimidated by Andre Leon Talley at first, but he's actually "the sweetest man," and says Anna is the "ultimate editor."
– Since taking the helm at TV, nearly every girl she encountered had questions about breaking into various roles in fashion. Basically, on a personal and marketing level, it made sense.
– Why isn't her name on the cover as the author? "I didn't write the book!" she said. The handbook is comprised of industry professionals advice as a "roadmap to careers, whether you want to be the next Karl Lagerfeld or Anna Wintour or not."
– Karl Legerfeld gave her favorite quote from the book.
– Wanted to keep the book visually appeal with the usual great Vogue photography and design integrity.
– On reality TV "I don't want to be a media personality. I've seen people laughed off Madison Avenue for taking the reality star route, it can really backfire." That's also why you didn't see so much of her on the Hills.
Getting Your Start
– "Fashion is not the road to riches. But there is definitely room to make a living."
– NY vs LA/everywhere else: Who cares? "Fashion is so democratic now! With the internet, you can gain exposure in fashion from anywhere. The Rodarte sisters live in Pasedena at their parents' house!"

Replacing outbuilding walls
Hi everyone. I need to replace the walls on my big shed (outbuilding) which is 36'x24' because the T-111 walls that are there now have started to rot from the bottom UP. This is as a result of water which will puddle around the bottom in heavy rains and take a few hours to drain, and the huge snowstorms we've had over the last few years.
We made doors for three entrances also, out of T-111 and added 2x4's in an X pattern for cosmetic purposes. The doors are in terrible shape. They have warped and also rotted at the bottom.
We built the shed from a KIT which called for T-111 as an option for the walls. We then painted the walls with 3 coats of a good exterior paint.
Considering the building was erected in 1992, I think we certainly got many good years out of the T-111 before it's reached this point so I'm not complaining.
My question is this. It's been suggested that we replace the rotted T-111 boards with Marine plywood.
What we have on there now is 5/8" thick, 8" blocked, 4x8 sheets. I've been looking online at some of the prices of the marine plywood and it looks like it would cost me about $44-$52 per sheet to get the size I need, but depending on the TYPE.
Can anybody tell me if this is a good idea? To replace my T-111 with marine plywood rather than new T-111? If so, what KIND should I get? It looks like there are several types like Fir, Oak, etc? And is this available at places like Home Depot or Lowes? Do you know what one 36' LONG side might cost to replace?
I had a contractor give me an estimate of $1000 to replace one side with T-111. The job would have included removing the trim from 2 windows and replacing the T-111 around them, making the new doors, and putting T-111 back on the remainder of that side. I thought $1000 sounded a little high.
I plan on doing this work myself. For a woman, I don't do too bad with a saw, a drill and a screwdriver so I'm willing to get my hands a little dirty and sore if I can save some much needed money.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Why not post some photos? You mention bottom rot, but what does that mean? Is it 6" or 12" or...?
If it isn't too much, just cut around the perimeter of the building a set height to remove all the rot.
Install some "Z" flashing under the T-111 siding and put a rot resistant material on the bottom. You can use the composite boards they have now.
The pooling of the water should be addressed as well. Water should not be sitting against any structure. It sounds like you need to find a way to keep the water flowing away from the building. Regrade or add drainage pipes along the perimeter.
At the risk of sounding dumb (I'm not a carpenter but willing to learn anything).... Wouldn't I still need to remove each sheet even to cut off the rotted parts? To answer your first question: the rotted parts are at least, if not more than 12" high. The doors are pretty warped so they definitely would need to be replaced.
As far as grading the land to address the problem, I would agree except for two things: 1) I don't have standing water very frequently at all (keep in mind that this is an accumulation of water damage over a period of about 19 years), and 2) I'm a single woman on a fixed budget and the area that would have to be graded involves almost a half acre, which I don't have the money to pay anyone to do. I appreciate what you're saying but I'm thinking that it took 19 years for it to affect it this way so I don't really think it's a critical issue to regrade at this point. You are basing it on very minimal information from me so I can understand why you would suggest this however.
So back to my original question: should I use marine plywood?
But thank you so much for your input. It is certainly appreciated! :)

I wouldn't remove the T-111 on the outbuilding and do as Ron mentioned and just cut out the bottom. Either 12, 16 or 24" to get the most out of a sheet.
Marine plywood is not only expensive it's ugly too but you could use it.
If you don't want it to look like a patch job, once the rot is repaired you can always go over the top of the T-111 with a weather barrier and new siding if you want.
Post a picture if you can. http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/how-a...to-post-12559/
There's no siding on this shed and I have no plans or money to add siding to it. I'm a little confused about why I'm being discouraged from replacing the T-111 sheets and encouraged to just cut off the rot. It still seems like I would have to take the whole sheet down and cut off the rotten parts right. Then I'd have to repaint the new piece to match the old piece. And what about the seam that is now left showing where it was added? The T-111 IS also the "siding" so to speak. It will not be covered in any way. What you see is what you see.
I will try to post a picture here later if I can but I'm not sure I would like what it would LOOK like with it being "patched" like that.
What am I missing here? And what about marine plywood is "ugly?" I'm not sure I know what it looks like. Can't it be painted?
Thanks again!
Just trying to learn,
199 Attachment(s)
I understand the T-111 is the siding.
You do not have to remove it off the wall to cut it. You snap a caulk line the entire length of the wall at the height you want and cut that line with a circular saw then remove the rotted lower portion.
You then install Z flashing at that joint to protect the seam from the weather and replace the lower portion with new.
You want to save money, right??? If you do it that way and you only have to replace the bottom 12 around the building then out of one sheet of the replacement material you can repair 32lf of siding. Instead of 8 sheets you only need one.
I suppose you can paint treated plywood after giving it months to dry out. The plywood is very heavy sometimes even slimy due to the moister content of the chemicals its treated with. Paint wont stick to that.
Look at this visual. They used hardie board but the install is the same with T-111 siding.
You might also check out You Tube for videos of this.
Just a note---set the blade of the circular saw to cut only as deep as the T-111--
If you got almost 20 years out of the old siding---you might want to just use T-111 again for the repairs.
Paint it well before installing--back--front and all cut edges.

Today I had dinner and wine with three young researchers, some of the rare type that are brilliant scientists as well as human beings. Two are Japanese transfers to Berkeley, and one is a Princeton-based physicist.
It amazes me how little they seem to think of themselves and their achievements. Part of this, in the case of the two Japanese guys, could simply be the modesty taught in their home country, but I can't explain the other. These three have been working for a few years with the foremost crusty old scientists in the field at the geographic South Pole and elsewhere, researching, among other things that the rest of us will never understand, the Cosmic Microwave Background, dark matter, and the nature of the universe .000000000000000001 seconds after the Big Bang. One of them is also an accomplished musician--he played circles around me in the music room--and another says his dream is "to make space flight affordable to average person."
Yet when I marvel at their persistence, dedication and, no doubt, natural ability, they scoff and only say how "boring" physics must be to normal people. And they don't mean the "normal, monosynaptic ignorant masses;" I think they genuinely view themselves as hopeless geeks that, though not unhappy with their choice of profession, are not particularly proud of it. But I think they're amazing.

barro global search just turned 14 years old!
Renowned science communicator Dennis Meredith interviews branding and hiring expert Dr. Arlene Barro in "Using Branding to Advance Your Career," where Dr. Arlene reveals her unique approach to branding for career success and transformation.
Click here to read the interview.
Dr. Arlene Barro is a breath of fresh air in today's tumultuous job market. Dr. Barro should have her own nationally broadcasted program: 'Dr. Arlene, The Career Guru'. Much like Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, Dr. Barro is a charismatic expert in her field. Dr. Barro gives her clients employment hope and specific behavioral modifications using her dynamic and empowering method of personal branding. Dr. Barro coached me to a successful career change following an unexpected and difficult job loss. She gave me the skills I needed to move from a 'woe is me mindset' to an 'I can and will take charge of my future'. The lady has a gift and she wants to share it! – Patti Thrailkill, Independent Consultant
The Readers Digest version of my story is this. I had my standard functional resume out to companies and websites that were a direct fit for my background. Most of the time I received a stall, an automated 'no thank you', or no response at all. Then, I contacted Dr. Arlene Barro for her to work with me to create a branding package. I resubmitted my new branding package, which included more than a resume, to those same companies that had not responded to me. Then I received emails and phone calls expressing interest in me. In the first 90-days, I had three final interviews and two offer letters. I was now in the driver seat of my own career again. I was afforded the rare luxury of cautiously choosing my next career. I credit this luxury to Dr. Arlene Barro's Right Fit Method and learning how to build and present my personal brand. – C.M. "Mo" Blake III, Sales Manager, Pacific Northwest District, Ricoh Legal
My company was in the process of being sold, and I just started interviewing when I met Dr. Arlene Barro. She helped me identify and focus on the criteria that were most important to me, which then became the blueprint of the Right Fit position. Open to relocation, I conducted a national search which generated several opportunities. I consulted with Dr. Arlene before and after each interview as I was traveling across the country. She worked with me to identify and overcome objections and strategically follow up after the interviews, which lead to more than one job offer. I found a great job which is my Right Fit position and will continue to work with her to delineate my brand as I continue to grow as a senior executive. – Debra Wood, CPA, MBA, JD, Chief Financial Officer, Truegreen Landcare
Once you truly understand branding and incorporate it into your resume and mindset, your job search and your results will start to change. Recently, I received the attention that I deserved from a potential employer. They focused on the unique words that were created to convey my brand and specialties that I had to offer. Through a series of discussions with Dr. Barro, I discovered and/or identified my key attributes and unique skills. With this information, I was able to develop my brand so that any potential employer would understand very quickly what I had to offer. Dr. Barro's unique approach has helped me to understand what I require from a potential employer. This approach will better ensure that both my future employer and I are a good fit for one another which will increase the chances for a good partnership and relationship. – Michael Conkey, CPA, Vice President of Accounting & Finance, New Indy Containerboard, LLC
After a long career in one company and two years of retirement, my interviewing skills and brand awareness were poor. Dr. Arlene asked the right questions and had the right advice and suggestions to help me create a brand that reflected my experience, skills, and desires. As well, Dr. Arlene's book "WIN Without Competing!" and her coaching helped me to build the interviewing skill set necessary to manage the interview and to clearly and succinctly deliver my message and brand. As a result, I was hired for a better and higher paying position than that for which I was initially interviewed. Without Dr. Arlene's mentoring, I would still be searching for a new position. – Stephen Snyder, MBA, Financial Consultant, Health Care Service Corporation

Nissan Sunny Reviews
Nissan Sunny 2011 Features Overview
One of the longest-running nameplates in the region, the Sunny has become popular for its reasonable price and traditional reliability, all while competitors drove their own prices up. However, the Sunny soon fell behind in terms of equipment, and the all-new Tiida arrived as an unofficial replacement to the Sunny in Nissan's lineup. Nissan Middle East is openly pushing the Sunny as a fleet car now, leaving the Tiida for individual sales. For 2010, and the engine lineup is limited to just one. There are now two versions, one a basic rebadged Samsung SM3 built in Korea and another a "Classic" model with a different front-end built in Japan. There is good head room, but other interior dimensions fall behind its competitors. Available as a four-door sedan, the Sunny is now available only with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include electric power steering, air conditioning and a cloth interior. Options include a CD stereo system and power accessories. Optional safety features include dual front airbags and ABS brakes.

Augustus Charles Hobart-Hampden
Augustus Charles Hobart-Hampden (1 April 1822 – 19 June 1886) was an English naval captain and Ottoman admiral (hence widely known as Hobart Pasha).
Hobart-Hampden was born in Leicestershire, the third son of the 6th Earl of Buckinghamshire.
In 1835 he entered the Royal Navy and served as a midshipman on the coast of Brazil in the suppression of the slave trade, displaying much gallantry in the operations. In 1855 he took part, as captain of HMS Driver in the Baltic Expedition, and was actively engaged at Bomarsund and Åbo.
In 1862 he retired from the navy with the rank of post-captain; but his love of adventure led him, during the American Civil War, to take the command of a blockade runner. He had the good fortune to run the blockade eighteen times, conveying war material to Charleston and returning with a cargo of cotton.
In 1867 Hobart entered the Ottoman service, and was immediately nominated to the command of that fleet, with the rank of "Bahriye Livasi" (rear-admiral). In this capacity he performed splendid service in helping to suppress the insurrection in Crete, and was rewarded by the Sultan with the title of Pasha (1869). In 1874 Hobart, whose name had, on representations made by Greece, been removed from the British Navy List, was reinstated; his restoration did not, however, last long, for on the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war he again entered Ottoman service.
On the conclusion of peace Hobart still remained in the Ottoman service, and in 1881 was appointed Mushir, or marshal, being the first Christian to hold that high office. He died at Milan on 19 June 1886.
See his Sketches of My Life (1886), which must, however, be used with caution, since it contains many proved inaccuracies.[citation needed]
