Reading the classics with kids is fun! I remember, when I first started, I felt intimidated at the thought of facilitating a book conversation with them. I don't have a literature background. I was afraid I wouldn't know the answers. It didn't take long for me to catch on to the truth. The best facilitator learns alongside the group. She doesn't lead them like a teacher. This means anyone can enjoy a classical reading group. Let me show you what I mean.
Have you read or watched The Wizard of Oz?
Let's pretend that you and your children and their friends and parents are in my living room. We just shared a themed meal:
- fruit arranged in the shape of a rainbow
- over the rainbow spiral cookies
- straw and hay pasta
- melting sherbet punch
The kids presented their boardgames and played each other's games. Now we're ready to talk about The Wizard of Oz. I would ask these questions and listen to what everyone has to say. It's that easy. Below the questions are possible answers I would have up my sleeve in case no one has an answer to the questions.
- What did Dorothy want? Go home.
- What did she spend her time doing? Helping others get what they wanted.
- Which of Jesus' parables does Dorothy remind you of? For me, it is the story of the Good Samaritan. She could have kept going for her goal. Instead, she saw another, listened to his needs, thought about ways to help, and told him what he needed to do.
- Define joy? Psalm 16 says, "I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand I shall not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices."
- What gave Dorothy her joy? Was it getting home? I'd say that made her happy. I think she got her joy by sacrificing her desires for the good of others.
- We see Dorothy having intentional conversations. What was her motivation for the conversation with the scarecrow? A brain.
- The tin man? To help him find a heart.
- The lion? To help him find courage.
This is how a LITClub discussion goes.
We look at the characters: actions, motivations, situations, and choices.

keeping cats warm
Free plans for cat enclosures and pet heater
The plan to build a heated cat house and plans for a cat enclosure are easy to build. The plans for a cat house & heated enclosure require no special tools to construct.
Building the pet home and plans for assembling the components are shown in detail. It requires only basic skills. The surrounds of the cat run can be constructed to suit the space available for the pet owner. If there is sufficient room, a cats run that can be rotated over a section of grass will improve pet comfort and hygiene.
keeping pets warmInsulation for the pets home can be installed at any stage of building the cats enclosure. An insulated pets home reduces the cost of keeping your pet warm. Small heaters suitable for cat enclosures are available on this site. Details on fitting our pet heater is included in the free plan.
The plan for a heated cat enclosureThe sleeping area of the cats enclosure will have a detachable roof. A detachable roof will help in maintaining a hygienic home for pets. The roof should have a rake (angle) of about 10% to channel water
to the back of the cats run. A pets home with heater is the main structure that will be installed into a cats enclosure. The surrounding fencing suitable for a small cat enclosure are basic items and simple to build.
Heated cat enclosure
Plan for the cat enclosure sides
Plan for a heated cats enclosure.
that your small pet is warm & comfortable in winter .
A3 and A4 are = to each other but larger than A7/A8 by approximately 40%.
A5 and A6 are identical measurements for the cat enclosure.
A7 and A8 are the identical measurements.
Building a cats run.
The base of the cats home is the first piece of plywood cut to size
Plans on how to build a warm cats home can be modified to allow a pet heater to be installed into the cats resting area. A compact petheater provides a comfortable home in cold weather. The small weatherproof heater can be built into the cats enclosure or left free standing.
The measurements for the cats sleeping enclosure base panel will be guided by the size of your pet.
Allow an area that is the size of your cat and add extra dimensions that you think will make a warm resting area for your pet. Do not make the dimensions of the cats run sleeping enclosure to large. A large resting area will not trap the body heat of your pet. A large sleeping area will also be difficult to warm. When you have determined the cat house size apply them to the base of the cat house and this will become the guide to all of the remaining measurements of the heated cats run plan.
heated cats runHeating a cats run will help to conserve your pets energy. Cats use a great deal of energy to maintain their correct body temperature. Having a heated cats run will increase your pets enjoyment of its new habitat. Our pet heater are very safe
B1 will be the height of your cat plus 20%.
B2 will be the height of B1 plus 20%.
B3 Draw a line connecting edges of B1 and B2 after putting in the B4 This creates rake for the enclosures roof. B4 Equal dimensions to the A7 & A8 edges. B1 & B5 .. B2 & B6 .. B3 & B8 .. B4 & B7 Equal measurements to sides of the cats house.
Cut out the first side of the cats enclosure plan, B1 B2 B3 B4 and use this side as a template to make the second side B5 B6 B7 & B8. Plywood with different grades on the surfaces of the panel will require a template pattern marked on the correct sides. This will produce a quality finish to the cats enclosure exterior.
C1 and C2 are equal measurements to A5 plus twice the thickness of the plywood being used for the sides of the plans to build a cat run. The extra material is required for covering exposed edges when building the heated cats home.
C3 and C4 are equal measurements to B1 B5. All of these panel measurements are the same.
C5 are C6 are equal measurements to A5 plus twice the thickness of the plywood being used for the sides of the cats house. C7 and C8 are equal measurements to B2 and B6. All of these panel measurements are identical.
Cat enclosure plan
Do not select plywood for the cats enclosure that has been treated with chemical. Preservative chemicals may be toxic for your pet. Selecting the correct building material for the cat enclosure plans is important for your pets health. The cats run will be exposed to the weather. The building material will need a weather proof coating of lead free paint to protect the structure.
Easy access to the cat run for cleaning and replacing litter trays and bedding will be required. The cat run plan can be modified to fit a suitable entrance. If insulation pads are to be used for insulating the cat enclosure use only products that are free from chemicals.
Cat enclosure plans
Select timber for the cat house framing that is approximately two inches square (50 mm square). This is suitable for a large cats house or enclosure that can be easily relocated into different areas of cat runs. If pet enclosures are remaining in one position, heavier framing can be used
The quantity of timber framing required for the cats home to line the inside of the base plus the sides and the four corners of the cats house should be increased if modifications such as a window are added to the heated pets shelter. Allow extra timber as guides to re-position the roof of the cat house & runners under the floor of the cat house base to keep it of the ground.
Building a run for cats
Metal fittings used in the building of the cats run plans should be galvanized,brass or zinc plated to protect them from rusting. Use only galvanized or brass plated nails and screws on timber joints that are exposed to the weather.
If your pet has a tendency to chew on objects the meshing used to enclose the cat run should not have a coating that may be toxic. (dipped galvanized mesh) Parts of the cats run plan can be glued together to produce a strong joint. A contact adhesive that is water proof can be used in the construction of the cats house frame. Painting for the cats run should be done with paint that does not contain lead in it. If a pet chews on the habitat or claws the heated cat home there is a possibility that your pet may ingest some of the paint.
Building and warming a cats enclosure
To start building the cats enclosure we start with the base panel.
Line the interior borders of the cats house base with the timber framing.
Cut out a section of the front framing the same size as the door opening.
The bottom framing can be retained if a pets door is included into the heated cats home plan.
Screw, glue or nail framing to the cat house base keeping the plywood side flush with the base. Fix the upright corner pieces of the framing to the side edges of the cat house. Fit the back of the cats house next. Ensure that the back plywood sits flush to the outside of the plywood sides and flush to the base underside. Then fit the front of the cats home keeping the edges flush with the sides and base underside. Now place the roof of the cats house in a position that is suitable for the enclosure and fit the roof guides to the underside of the cats enclosure roof.
Suitable heaters for your pet can be found HERE Consider adding a safe and reliable pet heater.
Building a cats run
Building windows for the cat run
Use timber left over as runners for the floor to keep the enclosure of the ground.
If large framing has been used to construct the heated cats enclosure a smaller dimensioned timber may be required for the cats house windows.
To fit a window to the cat house use a piece of cardboard that is the size of the window required.
Draw the shape of the window onto a piece of cardboard and cut along the drawn lines.
Hold the cut out window shape against the cat house wall in the position that you require it.
With a pencil draw the shape onto the selected wall area and cut out the shape. If the window is large and there is movement in the wall, make a frame for the window and pin it to the wall.
In cold areas consider omitting windows in favor of retaining heat within the pets home.
Insulating a cats enclosure
To insulate the cats sleeping and resting area a tar paper can be used to line the interior of the cats home. Tar insulation is often supplied with a backing of aluminum foil. Place the foil side of the tar paper facing to the outside of the panel. Insulation batts can also be used for the cat house insulation but the batts must be cut to fit in between the cats house framing. Both forms of insulating material will need a protective liner to prevent the cats house insulation from attacks. Some cats are allergic to insulating material and testing your cats reaction to a small piece of insulation may be required before building the cat run plans. When you are happy with the structural strength of the cat house sand back any rough areas and paint the new cat house. Depending on the type of structure you have used to build the pet house painting the cats enclosure may be easier before installing any insulation.
Keeping your cat warm with a small heater for the cats enclosure planThe plan for a cats enclosure can be fitted with a cat warmer or any other small heater for cats that are displayed to provide "a pet friendly environment" for your cats enclosure.
Heating for cats is safe and inexpensive with the small cat heater. Keeping your pet warm is so easy with a cat enclosure fitted with a touch safe heater.
The heater for cats is weather proof and will operate safely exposed to the elements.
Building a heated cat enclosure plan and fitting a heater into the new cats enclosure will ensure your small pets are warm and comfortable.
Cats satellite disc shelter
Obsolete satellite discs that are your property* can only be used.
Cat enclosures can be fitted with shelter by using a discarded satellite disc.
The discs are suitable for use as a cat enclosure roof or base for your pets bed.
Take extra care not to damage the surface when constructing the cat enclosure shelter.
Old satellite disc are often in good condition due to powder coated protective paint that prevents corrosion.
Cat enclosures that only require a roof shelter have the choice of supporting the disc roof on a chain or sturdy rope.
The chain method of roof support can only be used in areas protected from the wind
Fittings used to construct the cats shelter should be protected from corrosion. Stainless steel fitting are the best available but can be expensive. Screws and bolts that have been galvanized are also suited for use in the construction of the cats home. Do not leave exposed screws protruding from your pets home.
To build and heat a cats home and small pets enclosure the materials you use will be the deciding factor on the useful life of the cat enclosure. The use of any material that has been coated or treated with any chemicals that may be toxic to your pet should be avoided. Pets cannot be constantly supervised and it is not unusual for them to chew on their enclosures and resting areas. Pet heaters that are used to warm the cat house and all other appliances that have an electrical supply to the pets home must have all the electrical leads positioned in a safe and dry area. When constructing a heated cats enclosure, doghouse, heated kennel, small pets enclosure or heated dogs home organize the positioning of the pets home and all electrical leads and connections before commencing construction. The cat house heater and pet heaters displayed on this web site are weather proof but all connecting leads must be placed in a safe and dry area. Any cat run that you build should not have the enclosures floor resting on the ground. This will only create mildew and make the cats home cold and damp. Rodent control will also be difficult. Face the opening away from any prevailing winds. When using any tools be sure that the proper safety equipment and safety procedures are used at all times. Read and understand all instruction books that are supplied with any tools and always maintain a clean and safe working area. Never work around children or unrestrained pets or let them in the work area unsupervised. The free dog house plans and free kennel plans and cut enclosure plan supplied are for personal use only and have all been built and tested for strength and operation and to my knowledge they are correct and accurate. The plans are supplied without warranties and guarantee and you acknowledge that you use them and operate all tools and equipment at your sole risk. The choice of cat home plan, dog house plan, pet heater or any other building plans for small pets found on this web site and the suitability for the chosen project is entirely your responsibility. You agree to indemnify petheaters from any claims, damages, personal injuries and expenses in regards to any building projects and plans found on this web site. The free building plans for pet homes are for personal use only. * Contact your satellite/cable provider to establish the legal owner of the satellite dish used in the construction of a cat enclosure shelter.

So close.
That was the feeling Williamstown and Grant County High School bands were left with after both finished runner-up Oct. 30 in the Kentucky Music Education Association state marching band championship.
Coming off three consecutive state titles, Williamstown Band of Spirit came in second place in Class A with 89.4 points at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, just .4 points behind champion Beechwood High School.
They scored the highest points in two out of six judging categories for their "On the Air" program.
Rising unemployment and a declining economy has forced many parents to cut costs anyway they can.
Local school cafeterias are making sure students are fed without a struggling family taking a hit in the wallet.
Grant County and Williamstown Schools have seen the number of students on free or reduced meals increase the past several years.
At least half of the students enrolled in each district participate in the program.
Eligibility is determined by household size and annual family income.

Halfords Headlamp ConvertersEasy to install and fits most modern cars, the Halfords Headlamp Converters will not affect your car's headlights in the slightest when installed.
Halfords Headlamp Converters Extra Info:
- Quick and easy to fit.
- Will fit the majority of modern cars.
- Do not affect the colour of your cars headlights.
- One pack contains 1 pair of headlamp converters as well as full instructions.
Additional Information
UK vehicles are designed for driving on the left-hand side of the road. This means when you use your vehicle in countries where you drive on the right (most of Europe), you will dazzle oncoming drivers at night. If you're driving to the Continent then you must adjust the headlight beam pattern to suit driving on the right so that the dipped beam doesn't dazzle oncoming drivers. You will need to fit a set of Halfords headlamp beam converters. These self-adhesive masks blank out the part of the beam which could dazzle oncoming drivers. If your car has twin headlights, you need only mask the outer pair. Some more modern cars have special clear lenses or projector lights, which will need the masks to be fitted in a particular way - refer to the headlamp converter instructions.Never go abroad to Europe without adjusting the headlamp pattern of your vehicle as it is a compulsory requirement in most countries. Remember to remove the headlamp converters as soon as you return to the UK.
Halfords Headlamp Converters is rated out of 5 by 49.Rated 5 out of 5 by Driver464 from Seem great! I bought them for someone else, and they seemed to think they were just the job and contained the information they needed.Date published: 2016-10-30Rated 2 out of 5 by GePee from Failed to adhere to lamps I took a lot of time following the instructions and I have been travelling for many years and using similar beam deflectors but this is first time they have failed to stick to my headlights. After about 350 miles I had lost the driving side deflector and other side was half off. I pressed the latter one firmly in, but after a fort her 200 miles it was loose again. It was totally gone after 700 miles. Useless and a wasted £8. My advice, go somewhere else.Date published: 2016-10-10Rated 1 out of 5 by TravelL from Unclear Unclear instructions on packet even though stated simpleDate published: 2016-08-25Rated 2 out of 5 by Salading from Shocking price These work well enough, but £8 for two bits of sticky back plastic that are not reusable? Seriously?Date published: 2016-08-24Rated 3 out of 5 by JET1447 from A product bought but hardly ever used At £7.99 this is an expensive piece of kit which may never get used. It is useful at night or in poor visibility. Most GB drivers avoid night trips in Europe. It cannot be reused so a new kit has to be used each time. We never used it. The maker has useful series of videos on line.Date published: 2016-07-21Rated 2 out of 5 by RGML from Good value, but not suitable for all cars The quality of this product is good and the price is very reasonable, but unfortunately the converters are not suitable for all cars. I recently bought these for use with a Golf Mk VI Estate (2010 registration) and they seemed to make very little, if any, difference to the dipped-headlight pattern - the drivers of most approaching vehicles flashed their headlights, despite my having the instructions to the letter when installing them. I suspect this is because the headlights on this Golf have a markedly 'swept-back' design: they are probably more suitable for cars with headlights set square. So probably best to bear this in mind before purchase. Having said that, the converters are easy to install and remove (use a drop of neat windscreen wash to remove any residual adhesive); and the instructions are clear and comprehensive.Date published: 2016-07-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Easy to fit headlamp converters Bought these for a trip to France. The instructions appear daunting at first, as there are so many diagrams, but it's quick and easy to find the right one for your car, and then it's quick and easy to fit the converters. (Don't forget to clean the headlamp glass first). Having studied the correct diagram, I fitted the converters literally in seconds, whilst waiting to drive of the ferry! Removal is quite easy. I applied a sponge soaked in hot water for a few seconds beforehand. The remaining thin film can be mostly picked off with your fingers; any remaining bits can be removed with methylated spirits. I recommend this product.Date published: 2016-07-14Rated 4 out of 5 by AW1001 from Converters were fine but service was terrible The converters themselves are the same as everyone else sells, but in Halford's packaging and work fine.Date published: 2016-06-28

Hudson coach Tom Narducci was getting ready for a second overtime period Friday at Strongsville. The Explorers had taken a 35-28 lead in OT as quarterback Richie Piekarski scored on a run up the middle, but the Mustangs scored a touchdown and just need an extra point to tie the game.
"I was talking to my offensive coordinator about the next series and I looked up and the poor kicker pulled his kick left. He could have made 100 kicks that night, but I swear that was the only one he was going to miss," Narducci said. "This is was a big win for our program. This is the first time we have beaten them."
"This was not your typical 0-4 football team. They have played a tough schedule." The Mustangs' four opponents have a combined record of 13-3.
Next up for the Explorers is Friday's home game with Solon. The Comets are also undefeated, coming off a 42-6 pasting of Parma. At stake beyond one team remaining is a huge number of computer points to the winner. That could mean the difference between hosting a home game or being the visitor in the opening round of the Division I playoffs.
"It's another big game for us. They have been improved this year because their quarterback, Jake Voigt, is a senior now and runs the options and throws well. As a sophomore, he came into our stadium as a sophomore and beat us. He did a great job of managing the game for them," the Hudson coach says.

How one sees money plays a central role in how one chooses a career and makes job-related decisions. Career counselors and coaches use Money Habitudes cards because they:
- Start a construction conversation and forge a connection between big life issues: money and career — and often relationships too.
- Make talking about money easy and approachable. How one sees money can have a huge effect on how one decides on a career, whether one stays in a dead-end job, if someone goes back to school or seeks other training, how one plans for the future, and how one is seen by colleagues.
- Help entrepreneurs understand their financial strengths and challenges when starting a business. And also help business partners and spouses better communicate about money pressures inherent in running a business.
- Provide a simple but powerful way to address: Why are some people uncomfortable charging for their services? Why do some people jump on business opportunities while others hesitate? Why someone may never ask for a raise?
How it's used
- Icebreaker or conversation starter. A get-to-know-you activity during a first meeting, the cards are easy-to understand and non-threatening so people feel comfortable discussing money with a career adviser or counselor.
- Workshops or seminars. Money Habitudes cards are a fun, insightful but low-risk way to engage with students and clients in a group setting. Career workshops based on the activity are better received than typical PowerPoint presentations or lectures while providing an avenue for continuing dialogue.
- Part of a series of classes or presentations. Such series often include other topics such as basic career skills, life skills, investing, employee benefits and a range of asset building offerings.
- Staff development. When it comes to money — and how it affects career choices — emotion and psychology plays a big part. When career counselors do the Money Habitudes activity themselves, it helps them better understand and relate to clients from an emotional side and better address their financial issues.

I think I have the looping and posting commands figured out and the results looks fine.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. C With the 2006-07 season completed for the University of Michigan men's basketball team, the four-member senior class -- Lester Abram (Pontiac, Mich./Pontiac Northern HS), Dion Harris (Detroit, Mich./Redford HS), Courtney Sims (Boston, Mass./Noble & Greenough School) and Brent Petway (McDonough, Ga./Griffin HS) have several postseason events scheduled.
Petway will represent U-M at the 19th Annual College Slam Dunk and Three-Point Championships in Atlanta, Ga., Thursday, March 29.
Petway will represent Michigan at the 19th Annual College Slam Dunk and Three-Point Championships in Atlanta, Ga., Thursday (March 29). The event will be taped, beginning at 7 p.m., at Georgia State University Sports Arena in downtown Atlanta. The show will then air on ESPN at 9 p.m. and will air several additional times throughout the weekend.
ESPN's Slam Dunk and Three-Point Championships invite the top senior dunkers and men's and women's three-point specialists in the country to participate in the annual event, which is always held in the Final Four host city.
With his near 42-inch vertical leap, Petway was nicknamed "Air Georgia" by the Michigan student section after he thrilled the Crisler Arena crowd with his aerial shows for four seasons. During his career, Petway shot 60.2 percent, which ranks him third all-time. Of his 286 career field goals, 145 came via a dunk as 51 percent of his shots were above the rim.
Sims will represent U-M at the 2007 DiGirono/NABC College All Star Game Friday (March 30) at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga. The annual event will feature 20 invited college seniors and the game begins at 7:30 p.m. George Mason's Jim Larranaga and LSU's John Brady will each serve as head coaches at the contest.
Sims closed his career playing in 133 straight games for the Wolverines, which ranks third on Michigan's all-time list. He had 1,329 career points, 728 rebounds and 213 blocks in his career.
Finally, Sims, Harris and Abram will travel to Portsmouth, Va., Wednesday through Saturday (April 4-7) to participate in the 55th annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT) at Churchland High School. The PIT is the only tournament for college seniors to participate in and be evaluated by the National Basketball Association prior to the NBA's pre-draft camp in Orlando in early June. For further tournament information, please visit the PIT website.
Harris closed his college career playing in 131 career games with 1,599 career points, 398 assists, 334 rebounds and 135 steals. He is second all-time in U-M program history for three-point field goals (268) and three-point field goal attempts (755). Abram closed his career playing in 120 career games with 1,274 career points, 479 rebounds, 179 assists and 114 steals.

Financial Highlights | Future Trends
From a financial management perspective, the Department of Education is unique among federal government agencies. We must manage, consolidate, and account for more than 230 appropriations. Among the 16 Cabinet-level departments, we maintain the smallest number of employees while managing the third-largest discretionary budget.
A continuation of current downward trends in full-time equivalent staff will result in a critical reliance on a sound intellectual capital plan. The Department must increasingly coordinate strategic technology investments with human capital management.
Technology Transformation
Technology improvements will continue to empower organizations in the future by increasing the availability of a critical resource: time. These improvements will enable executive management to devote additional time to policy analysis and decisionmaking rather than the manual processing and compiling of key data. The Department benefits at an increasing rate from the maturing of investments in systems and e-government.
Major Department investments include a reimplementation of the existing financial accounting system and full participation in ongoing federal e-government initiatives. The adjacent chart depicts our vision of the e-government operational model that highlights electronic information-sharing capabilities via data networks.
This unified data network will create public value by optimizing government operations and providing effective oversight, coordinating strategic technology investment planning with human resource management and planning governmentwide.
We are currently in the process of completing a study to determine the best approach to migrating to a center of excellence or becoming one. This analysis will be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Human Capital Transformation
A results-oriented enterprise requires that an organization clearly identify and achieve viable results. The Department of Education's Results Agenda clearly articulates this expectation, enabling Department personnel to understand how they will be held accountable for performance. Our employees also understand how their achievements align with and contribute to our mission.
The Department continued the implementation of a human capital management plan that was launched in FY 2004. Our plan integrates human capital management, competitive sourcing, restructured business processes, and other Departmental strategic infrastructure investments. Future actions to meet challenges within our principal offices will include:
- Improving clarity of results in employee's performance standards (targeted to specific principal office goals and objectives).
- Linking employee awards to performance.
- Training supervisors/managers in assessment of employee performance and techniques for improving management practices.
- Improving communication and techniques to foster a team culture.
- Conducting appropriate forums to obtain employee perspectives on motivation, commitment, and productivity, implementing strategies based on information gathered.
The Department's continued commitment to human capital transformation will result in a more robust, cost-effective business environment and a better return on taxpayer investment.
Economic Transformation
Tuition costs and interest rates will continue to have significant effects on the Department. Increasing tuition costs for postsecondary education should compel a greater number of individuals to seek tuition assistance in the form of loans or grants.
Rising interest rates have driven a surge in the refinancing and consolidation of student loans. Variable student loan interest rates were reset on July 1, 2005, increasing nearly two percentage points from 3.37 percent for academic year 2004-05 to 5.30 percent for academic year 2005-06. In anticipation of this increase, private lenders, schools, and others encouraged borrowers to consolidate their existing variable rate loans into fixed rate loans. This resulted in an unprecedented surge in loan consolidations, leading to substantially higher volume than the previous fiscal year. Based on preliminary data, projected cohort-year 2005 consolidations will approximate $68.5 billion, $24.8 billion above the fiscal year 2006 President's Budget estimate.
Fiscal year 2005 direct consolidation loan volume is estimated at $17.7 billion. These consolidations are comprised of underlying direct loans, guaranteed loans, and, to a much lesser extent, defaulted guaranteed loans in repayment. In disbursing a direct loan consolidation, the Department pays in full the holders of the underlying loans.
Fiscal year 2005 FFEL consolidation loan volume is estimated at $50.8 billion. These consolidations are primarily from guaranteed loans in repayment and some direct loans (in most cases from borrowers with loans from both programs). Under current projections, the prepayment of the underlying FFEL loans produces significant savings through the elimination of future special allowance payments.
The devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will impact the Department and the federal government for many years to come. These catastrophic storms have left the Gulf Coast area without many teachers, students, or functional schools or universities. The Department has provided immediate assistance to schools and displaced persons. During the recovery process, we will ensure that students, teachers, and educational institutions receive assistance as needed. Due to the uniqueness of this disaster, financial estimates cannot be made of the type or timing of assistance that will be required. However, the Department has financial management controls in place to ensure that federal funds are disbursed quickly and appropriately.
Regulatory Transformation
Governance, risk management, and compliance activities increasingly interact with one another, requiring sustained management commitment to achieve organizational excellence in all three areas. The Department's future success is highly dependent on the successful convergence of these activities into a coherent strategic operating model.
Focus on the regulatory environment requires the Department to identify and control compliance risk, which includes systemic, nonsystemic, and residual components. We mitigate the risk of impairment to our operations model, reputation, and financial condition by seeking to comply fully with laws and regulations, internal controls, and taxpayer expectations.
The Department is taking a holistic approach to total risk management, the value of which far exceeds the costs of implementation. Senior management is making investments to comply with relevant regulations, to manage the costs associated with compliance, and to identify and address regulatory change.
Operational effectiveness meetings were held twice during FY 2005 with each Department principal office that oversees federal education programs. Senior staff of the Offices of the Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Information Officer, along with the Office of Management, met with senior principal office leaders to review and evaluate management operations in the areas of customer service, quality and innovation. Principal office managers presented evidence of their offices' performance from historical, current, and future perspectives. These meetings facilitated the sharing of best practices across the Department, and any necessary principal office corrective actions are tracked on a continuous basis.
Our progressive focus will ensure that fewer resources are necessary for remediation activity.

By M. Ramachandran
Change and transformation are inherent to life and society and that
continuously invigorate ideas, feelings and imagination of the people. A
new movement in art is evolved with the zeitgeist and that becomes the
flag bearer of a change in the sensibility of a society. In other words,
works of art evolved as part of a new movement in art delineate the
character of a social condition.
Social history of a given culture narrates its history of art or vice
versa. The contemporary developments in art also narrate the changing
sensibility or the condition of our times. With the evolution and
propagation of installations and digital art our notion of art as a
specific entity that is sacrosanct and authentic is questioned and left
us uncomfortable with hundreds of questions regarding what is art and
what is not.
The idea of a work of art as an object that has some physical or
commodity value that could be in the possession of an individual is
completely neglected by most of the contemporary trends in art.
Infusing a culture with questions on the validity of the past notions
is a cultural practice that instigates or reviews the space and time of
the living and the lived. Of course, a resistance to new trends prevails
in every society and it works as a balancing act in the cultural sphere
for a society functions on evolved principles. That is what enables the
cultural practices survive over the times.
Our object-oriented notion of art is nothing but a contribution of
individualism formulated by Modernism. A philosophy that based on
individualism can only be of a particular stratum of a society because
becoming an individual means outgrowing a society. That means elitism
was the crux of the philosophy of Modernism. Naturally, the works of art
evolved out of such a philosophy became idiosyncratic, esoteric, and
socially alien. Projecting work of art as a venerable, metaphysical and
mystic object that has a special place in life Modernism catered to the
taste of a few who monopolised cultural pursuits. However, when the
world has become increasingly democratised and the aristocracy has lost
its hold over societies individualism is forced to give way for a
pluralistic and multicultural social order and philosophy. No wonder,
then, art is moving towards the popular or folk from the esoteric and
mystic sphere.
Modernism, when it reached its apex stage with Minimalism that
refuted life and considered life as a pinnacle of boredom, was only
exposing its own dead end. In art the White on White (1918) painting of
Malevich is the classic example of Minimalist art. In literature,
Waiting for Godot, the play written by Samuel Beckett could be seen as a
veritable example of Minimalist point of view. The modernists observed
life according to a point of view that was suitable to them and followed
it as a norm. Modernism believed that one can only have a single point
of view and one should dogmatically follow it all through one's life.
It is believed that no counter thoughts or arguments should be agreed
upon for it devaluates the philosophy that one follows. For instance, a
Marxist or an Existentialist can never take a stance counter to that
philosophy even if such a stance is inevitable at some stage of life.
In other words, a Marxist or a Fascist never could believe in the
counter viewpoints because the dogma that they follow does not have any
space for the other. Sticking to the personal idiom of style became an
accepted practice among the artists and those who did not follow a
definite style were treated as heretics or outcasts in modern art.
Only Picasso could manage a multi-style oeuvre and continue to remain
as an artist reckoned among the Modernists.
The apostles of Postmodernism argue that contrary to the reductionism
of Modernism, Postmodernism celebrates life with a floating,
product-oriented cultural philosophy that opposes all dogma. For it,
anything and everything is acceptable.
It looks at the masses and evolves an art that does not bother for a
signature style or something enduring in social life. Rather, it denies
those values with which a work of art has been considered as work of
art. In other words, as Jean-Francois Lyotard in his highly influential
treatise titled The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge puts it,
the work of art that a postmodern artist produces is not in principle
governed by the pre-established rules, and that cannot be judged
according to a determining judgement by applying familiar categories to
the text or to the work for those categories are what the work of art
itself is looking for.
The whole history of Modernism is of the denial of the common place
or of the ordinary. It rejected the popular religious themes for
portrait and landscape, then landscape and figure compositions for the
abstract and the abstraction for the absolute minimal or conceptual art.
It was negating whatever that had become popular as well as stale in the
social milieu for changing the accepted sensibilities.
On the contrary, the postmodern artists accepted the popular and the
ordinary and immersed themselves in it to create their art. All the
meanings that were attached and preserved in the past were re-evaluated
and by that, the postmodernists tried to discover the changes and
diminution in all those values.
Even the very existence of an original work of art is questioned by
technology. It is to be noted that such ideas about the technology
originated at the time of High Modernism and Marcel Duchamp had given a
concrete intimation of the future of the course of art while he placed a
readymade urinal with a fake signature in a gallery. Walter Benjamin
also tried to theorise lose of the aura of the original work of art in
his seminal essay tilted The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical
When technology can reproduce a work of art with all the qualities
and minute details of the original, and technology itself can be the
cause and reason or medium of a work of art (for example Photography and
Digital Art) the value that we have been hitherto attached with an
original work of art has no more significant. This kind of
non-signification of value is the major issue in all the philosophical
circles today.
When meaning or value of a signifier is only a floating one, the work
of art, in its aesthetic sense loses to be considered as a work of art.
It becomes one among the trillions of signifiers that are searching for
meanings at every given point of time. For example, an installation,
installed in a particular place or gallery can be reproduced with all
its material aspects and reinstalled in another place.
Then, it's meaning, the appeal, the ambience will be changing and
thus the work of art itself becomes another one.
Further, our society, as Jean Beaudrillard observes, is on a mad
pursuit of images and that irresistible epidemic process cannot be
controlled by anyone.
Hence, an artist is forced to rethink his cultural existence as an
image-maker for she or he is also contributing a bit more to this
infinite multiplication of images. Do more images speak more?
In a society which realised that all the significations are floating
and there is nothing permanent, there is no scope for any romantic
emotion to clutch on to the past ideals and personal preferences.
As Modernism denied all the romantic values and emotional elements
from the works of art in its entire course in history, and propagated an
impersonal, non-emotional art practice, postmodernism celebrated such a
detachment and fragmentation in art and life.
It may be noted that while earlier modernists such as T.S. Eliot and
Ezra Pound were lamenting the fragmentation of human life the
postmodernists celebrate it. The Modernists were lamenting that all
those values hitherto we were upholding in life are lost. When one
states that, a deterioration of value is happening in life there is an
assumption that life had been following higher values so far.
It is a method of glorifying the past. But, how can we judge that the
values that we have been following hitherto were better than those which
we now follow?
It is the judgement that matters. On what ground or truth-value we
can judge something as good, or bad, or beautiful, or ugly, or a work of
art or non-art! Who has the authority of, and what is the criterion of
such a judgement? A judgement is exclusion but nobody has any right upon
the other to exclude.
When Joseph Bueys declared that everyone is artist, he was not
canonizing everybody as an artist, but denying the special significance
and meaning of art and artists in a society.
Thus, Bueys denied art the special place it has been acceded in a
society so far. Anything can be art and any one can be an artist.
The point of view makes something a work of art. In this time of
proliferation of images, meanings and floating signifiers, there is no
truth, value, and point of view that can be believed as the ultimate and
the absolute.
All notions of the values, the absolute and the permanent are
discarded and disregarded. Art is only one of the manifestations of the
life we live.

..I built it just as he did, and it sounds amazing, but not as amazing as his tone...
in my opinion, the difference is due to the fact that unless Sean is demoing the variax models, in the other cases he usually plays with custom magnetic pickups (probably Suhr ML's) mounted on his variax..
another factor to take into account is its personal touch..

The tone difference could also be caused by different monitoring equipment (your amp, speakers vs. his) or recording equipment he used.

Hi guys,
I just purchased the HD Pro and am using it with my Peavey JSX. I am not getting much volume when using this through the JSX and when I use it out the fron of the amp it is really gainy and I get plenty of feedback. I'm not techy at all!...
After reading up a little on this, I see that the JSX should really have a pre-amp input, which it does not. My bass player plugs his in and it uses his head as a power amp, so he is not able to change volumes or tones, but with the JSX, I am still able to manipulate all aspects.
Can someone please tell me the best way to get around these issues with the JSX or should I be buying a new amp that caters for this HD Pro system much easier?

"The cake was delicious and looked beautiful, so I almost gave them four stars. However, I was supposed to have a three-tier cake and a matching decorated sheet cake. The sheet cake was not displayed, because the icing on top had been mashed. Neither the bakery nor the reception hall took responsibility. This was highly disappointing. Then, I was charged by the bakery for a covered cardboard cake support that the reception hall mistakenly threw away. Even though the prices on the cakes, decorative elements, and taste were very good, the two problems were very disappointing."

One student at Technion gets full marks for ingenuity. Staying true to the Haifa institution's tagline, "Israel Institute of Technology," he put technology to good use when preparing for an examination. Using his lecturer's computer, he asked the dean to send him the questions. But the dean smelled a rat, and now the 26-year-old student has been caught. According to Haaretz, the fourth year medical engineering student has been detained but is staying silent, refusing to cooperate with investigations. Perhaps the police could try the student's own technique, and send him a short email. "Hi. Worried about you. Are the police giving you enough to eat? By the way, what did you do? Are you guilty? Love, Mom."
In another university-related story, the student union at Bar Ilan University seems to have messed up, choosing to have its start-of-the-year party on Thursday, November 4 — the anniversary of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's murder. Some students at Bar Ilan — the university that assassin Yigal Amir attended — plan to boycott the party, according to Ynet.

Black Sticks coach Shane McLeod is under no illusions as he embarks on the second of three major tournaments this year.
"The Champions Trophy is relentless," said McLeod. "There is nowhere to hide when you are playing a six-team tournament with all your opponents ranked well above you."
Still smarting from what he rates as a "sub-par" effort at the World Cup in New Delhi earlier this year, McLeod sees the Champions Trophy starting later this month in Monchengladbach as the chance to get the team back on an even keel before heading to October's Commonwealth Games.
"The players have worked really hard since the World Cup," said McLeod before heading to Europe where the team will warm up at the four-nation tournament in Nottingham. "There has been a lot of self-assessment and I expect a new lease of life. We have been looking closely at how we can do better."
He will, on paper at least, have a stronger team for the Champions Trophy with Brad and Hayden Shaw and Simon Child back after missing the World Cup where the Black Sticks were further handicapped when captain Phil Burrows was an early casualty and missed more games than he played.
McLeod said the Champions Trophy is unlike the qualifying tournaments - for the Olympic Games, World Cup and Champions Trophy - where the national team has performed well in recent years.
"You have to be consistent to do well at tournaments like this. That is something we have not been. Often we have started well but then fallen away when the pressure goes on."
While there is something of an experimental look to the team who will play at the four-nation tournament - four players will make their international debuts - the squad to play in Germany is the best McLeod will put out since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Shea McAleese, who will lead the team in Nottingham, is the only player in that 18-strong squad to have played more than 100 internationals.
By the time he gets to the Champions Trophy he will be joined by Blair Hopping, Dean Couzins, Ryan Archibald and Burrows who all have 200-plus caps.
Simon Child (who misses the Nottingham tournament as he recovers from a pelvic injury and is replaced by younger brother Marcus), Kyle Pontifex and Hayden Shaw have all played more than 100 and will be joined in that "club" by Brad Shaw and Steve Edwards before they return home.
"The Champions Trophy is the chance to gauge yourself against the very best," said McLeod who must name his 16-strong Commonwealth Games team before he returns.
"Being restricted to just 16 - down from the 18 we will have in Nottingham and Germany - helps us. Other countries probably have greater depth than us but in being restricted to 16 that difference will not be so obvious. I could write down 18 or 19 names now and then come up with a case of who we are going to leave out."
Winning a medal at the Commonwealth Games on their return to New Delhi remains the priority for McLeod and his team who started promisingly in Melbourne four years ago before falling away to finish fifth, beating India in the play-off in extra time.

Great birds in Henderson
This weekend I'm going to see this bird, an American avocet in breeding plumage, at the closest thing to birding heaven just outside Las Vegas.
Henderson Bird Preserve in Henderson, Nevada is a water treatment plant that's beautifully laid out with natural vegetation, lots of water and good nesting habitat. The City of Henderson intentionally made it a bird preserve 10 years ago. It's the third largest body of water in southern Nevada and the birds love it.
Lots of birders visit it too. That's where I met Laurie Patterson who took this photo. As we sat next to one of the ponds this avocet walked by us. Yes, at the bird preserve they can come this close.
Almost all my Nevada life birds were found at Henderson. The preserve is open 6:00am to 3:00pm so it's best to come early. After Henderson, I visit Red Rock Canyon or Corn Creek but the bird preserve is my first love.
There's some mighty good birding in southern Nevada.

Hey Kate,
Just wanted to say thanks for spreading the word about birding near Las Vegas. I'm going to be in the area in a few weeks and I'm very much looking forward to checking out the Henderson Bird Preserve. If you have any other birding tips for the area, I'm all ears. 😉
# Kate St. Johnon 22 Mar 2012 at 9:30 pm
Last April (2011) I visited the area again and saw many great birds:

It is now less than two months until federal benefit checks cease to exist and payments all will be made electronically rather than by mail. March 1 is the date set for all payments to be electronic.
More than 7,000 Alaskans still receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income check each month, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Management Service.
The Treasury wants Social Security recipients and others who get federal benefits to switch immediately to one of two alternatives.
The first is direct deposit, whereby the government sends the money directly to the recipient's bank account.
The other is to funnel the payments through a Direct Express Debit MasterCard. This is a prepaid debit card recommended by the Treasury Department for those who do not want funds directed to a bank account. According to the department's information, the card has no sign-up fee, monthly account fee or overdraft fee. No credit check is required. The card has a number of free services, including cash withdrawals through bank or credit union tellers. There is a free ATM cash withdrawal for each deposit posted to an account each month at surcharge-free ATMs.
We are pleased that such an option is offered because citizens should not be required to open a bank account to get benefits to which they are entitled. This option avoids that.
But there will be no keeping the paper checks; the law requires that the deposits be electronic starting March 1, so beneficiaries need to make the transition.
Best to do so sooner rather than at the last minute.
They can make the change online at www.GoDirect.org. For those who have Internet access, the change can be made by telephone by calling 1-800-333-1795. The Treasury Department says the transfer can be made in a single call if callers have gathered the needed information:
• Their Social Security number or claim number;
• Their 12-digit federal benefit check number;
• The amount of their most recent federal benefit check; and
• If choosing direct deposit, their financial institution's routing transit number, account number, and account type (checking or savings)
Time flies; March 1 will arrive sooner than we think. Sooner than it did in 2012 — this year, we don't have any Feb. 29.
The time is now to make the transition.

New Zealand Cricket is seeking a specialist batting coach to assist Mike Hesson, after Bob Carter left to take up a new role with the organisation.
Carter has been appointed NZC high-performance coach and begins the role next month.
He will oversee a number of development sides such as New Zealand Under-19 and New Zealand A, the latter of which he'll coach during their tour of England this July.
Carter took up his role alongside Hesson in 2012 and has faced barbs along the way as New Zealand's batting veered between poor and inconsistent. There was also the issue of the continuing failure to find solid opening test batsmen - a phenomenon that started long before Carter's appointment, but one that he has been unable to arrest.
Even so, the criticism faded away last summer as New Zealand, largely through the exploits of Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson, finally started positing consistent, competitive scores in test cricket.
"Over the past 20 months I have enjoyed working with the players and support staff to mould a side that is capable of beating the top teams in world cricket. The team can move forward with confidence towards the ICC 2015 World Cup," said Carter.
NZC will advertise for a replacement to join the tour of the West Indies.

Dedicated to providing shelter and care, with compassion, dignity and love, to the homeless cats and dogs of our community. Promoting adoption, spay/neutering and community education.
Every animal that comes to our shelter stays with us until they are adopted. We believe that each animal has unique qualities that someone is looking for in a companion pet and that time dramatically increases the chances of them finding each other. We have been helping animals since 1975. Homeward Bound Pets Adoption Shelter is a non-profit organization which operates solely from contributions from caring, concerned citizens, fundraising activities, and adoption fees. Donations are tax-deductible.
Our Adoption Fees are:
*Senior citizens (65 & over) and military receive a 25% discount (excluding kittens and puppies).
All our animals have had spay/neuter surgery, first vaccines, flea treatment and de-worming. Youngsters are started on their series of shots, which may or may not be completed depending on what age they are adopted. All cats and kittens have been tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS.
If adoption isn't right for you at this time, please consider sponsoring one or more of our pets. Your sponsorship money helps cover the cost of our animals' food, veterinarian services, toys, and bedding as well as the cleaning supplies that help us maintain a safe, healthy environment for our cats and dogs.
Some of our animals are not quite ready for adoption yet. Their past experiences may require an extended stay with us as we work to gain their trust and get them ready to go to their forever homes. These animals are particularly in need of your sponsorship contributions.
You may sponsor as many animals as you like. We'll send you their photo and story and our heartfelt appreciation for your kindness.
The shelter is located off of Highway 18 at 10605 SE Loop Road, McMinnville, OR, which is about one-half mile northeast of the McMinnville Airport and Evergreen Aviation Museum. We are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 4:00.

The value of Australia's housing stock has cleared $5 trillion for the first time, helped by an investor-driven price surge that could limit the Reserve Bank of Australia's scope to keep official interest rates on hold this year.
Official Australia Bureau of Statistics confirmation that the value of residences jumped $184 billion in the last three months to December adds to signs of a domestic economy showing tentative signs of strengthening.
Business confidence jumped in January for the first time in four months, with firms reporting the best conditions in three years, according to a National Australia Bank index of sentiment.
National Australia Bank chief economist
Business conditions rose to 4 points from 3 in January, led by a surprise rise in manufacturing – something that may be at least partially unwound following news of Toyota's decision to shutter local manufacturing in 2017. The next best industries were construction and retail – strong signs record low borrowing costs are spurring demand.
'Explicit neutral bias'
The Reserve Bank last week indicated it has adopted an "explicit neutral bias" on borrowing costs as a way of signalling its intention to keep official interest rates low in coming months – partly because it needs to continue putting downward pressure on the Australian dollar, which has edged back above US90¢ on Tuesday.
The Reserve Bank has so far shrugged off warnings of a potential house price bubble, with officials taking heart from the recent surge in building approvals as a way of keeping a lid on price growth once additional supply hits the market.
Tuesday's ABS data showed the value of loans to investors rose 2.9 per cent in December, and was 40.7 per cent higher than a year earlier. All housing lending jumped 27 per cent in 2013, while loans to owner-occupiers gained 14.5 per cent.
Record investment property purchases come despite soft yields – 3 per cent in Melbourne and 4 per cent in Sydney, said RP Data research director Tim Lawless. "Clearly, investors are buying in Sydney and Melbourne purely for the capital gains," he said.
Conditions may be stronger than thought
The mean price of residential dwellings rose $17,700 and the number of residential dwellings rose by $37,300 in the December quarter, according to the ABS, which also reported Sydney house prices rising 4.7 per cent in the quarter. Melbourne and Brisbane prices were up 2.6 and 2.8 per cent respectively. "Current conditions in the economy may be stronger than the RBA thinks," said
An increasing number of professional forecasters are tipping the Reserve Bank will be forced into its first official interest rate rise before the end of the year.
Despite the overall strength, the share of first-home buyer commitments rose just 0.4 per cent to 12.7 per cent in December.
SQM Research managing director
"It's not anything like what we saw in the US a few years ago, we'd never get to that point, but the loan-to-value ratios are creeping up," he said.

"I appreciate him giving it to me. Thank you," Manning quipped. "I didn't think it took a rocket scientist to figure it out either. I had a guy running open and I hit him."
That's about as big a shot as Manning has ever taken at another player. And here comes another one:
"If that's the way they want to put it in their heads, then that's fine. But the fact is that was the coverage they messed up," Manning said. "That's what you've got to do as an offense: You've got to take advantage of it. If a team wants to give up some plays or they don't want to play well on a certain day, it's our job to play better and make the plays and take advantage of that opportunity."

Cooley 5K Race for Education and Impression 5 Half Marathon Raise Much Needed Money for Education
September 16, 2013 - On Sunday, Sept. 15, about 3,000 runners and walkers participated in Cooley Law School's 5K Race for Education and Impression 5's Capital City River Run Half Marathon – all part of the Capital City River Run Weekend of Races. Race participants nominate a favorite school for a chance to win money in two ways - Race Proceeds and through the School Competition.
Race proceeds go to schools that are selected through a random drawing from nominations made by race participants and the School Competition awards the three schools with the most nominations with cash prizes of $1,000 for 1st, $750 for 2nd, and $500 for 3rd.
The winning schools were chosen by random drawings and each receives a percentage of the Cooley 5K race proceeds. This year's recipients include:
- Eastern High School, Lansing, Mich., 50 percent winner, nominated by Samuel-Tony Atangana
- Pinecrest Elementary, East Lansing, Mich., 25 percent winner, nominated by Carie Tagorda
- Pine Avenue Elementary, Alma, Mich., 10 percent winner, nominated by Jon Case
- Grand Ledge High School, Grand Ledge, Mich., 10 percent winner, nominated by Jeanette McWaters
- Bennett Woods Elementary, Okemos, Mich., 5 percent winner, nominated by Jessica Sobel
"Cooley Law School is proud to help raise funds for our schools, especially at a time when they are struggling with tightened budgets," said Terry Carella, Cooley's communications director and 5K race director. "Every year I look forward to contacting the winning schools to let them know that they will be receiving some unexpected money. It's a great feeling to know that the Cooley 5K has made such a difference to the schools in our community."
Winners of the School Competition Award are determined by the number of nominations by the runners. This year's winners are:
- First place: $1,000; Pinecrest Elementary, East Lansing, 61 nominations
- Second place: $750; Sexton High School, Lansing, 56 nominations
- Third place; $500; Michigan State University, 30 nominations
The final dollar amount for this year's proceeds is still being counted, noted Carella, but she does expect that, thanks to participants, thousands of dollars have been raised.
About Cooley Law School: Celebrating 40 years of excellence, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School is a private, nonprofit, independent law school accredited by the American Bar Association and the Higher Learning Commission. Cooley has provided its more than 17,000 graduates with the practical skills necessary for a seamless transition from academia to the real world.

In this unique collaboration, the most prized and esteemed scholars in theology, religious history, and sociology offer a new understanding of American spiritual life by placing African-American religious experience at its center. Moving from specific cases in African-American history and theology to discussions of how African-American experiences can and should inform all studies of American life, they uncover the spiritual human soul that unites all of us. The editors call this project a "testament of hope," and it is a powerful tribute to the late James M. Washington, whose works were an inspirational search for universality.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Supreme Wealth AllianceInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I joined Supreme Wealth Alliance in November 2009.
Their system had several payplans. I referred other members, I participated as recommended. In one particular payplan, I earned over $400 and was even congratulated on their site for my efforts.
I have not been paid.
I have emailed their customer support at least 7 times. I have emailed the site owner directly twice. I received only one response from their customer support saying that the owner had changed the 'admin' as the CEO had terminated the previous one and that they were still sorting out the correspondence. That was on 2 March 2010.
I have not heard a single word from them since.
I have not had a single response from anyone suggesting that they were investigating.
They have now opened up their "new" site, saying it was better than ever and they have started to advertise.
I want everyone to know that if may sound good (like many things on the internet), but they have as yet not lived up to their end of the bargain and after over 4 months, have not paid me my earnings.
My personal recommendation is to avoid anything to do with Supreme Wealth Alliance.

I felt it necessary to give readers an update.
I filed the inital report on 8 May.
I contact Supreme Wealth Alliance admin staff via email and advised them of the report on the same day.
They replied on 9 May stating that the "previous admin" had left things in a mess and that everything had been sorted out and forwarded to the CEO....and could I wait a few more days before taking further action.
Since 9 May (it is now 28 May), I have not heard another single word from either the Admin or the CEO. This does not seem like a company that would stand behind their members. My personal recommendation is still to avoid Supreme Wealth Alliance.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Molecular Structure of the mineral woodhouseite CaAl3(PO4,SO4)2(OH)6
Frost, Ray L., Xi, Yunfei, & Palmer, Sara J. (2011) Molecular Structure of the mineral woodhouseite CaAl3(PO4,SO4)2(OH)6. Journal of Molecular Structure, 1001(1-3), pp. 56-61.
Accepted Version
(PDF 301kB)
The mineral woodhouseite CaAl3(PO4,SO4)2(OH)6 is a hydroxy phosphate-sulphate mineral belonging to the beudantite subgroup of alunites, and has been characterised by Raman spectroscopy, complimented with infrared spectroscopy. Bands at various wavenumbers were assigned to the different vibrational modes of woodhouseite, which were then associated to the molecular structure of the mineral. Bands were primarily assigned to phosphate and sulphate stretching and bending modes. Two symmetric stretching modes for both phosphate and sulphate supported the concept of non-equivalent phosphate and sulphate units in the mineral structure. Bands in the OH stretching region enabled hydrogen bond distances to be calculated.

I think I've probably shared this recipe before on my blog, but it's a staple in our household for when I feel like cooking something sweet, that's also super quick and easy. My sister gave me the recipe when I was first engaged and trying madly to fill up my blank cook book with tried and tested dishes.
I love that you can literally throw the ingredients into a bowl, mix by hand with a spoon and bake. It's a no fail recipe and both of my children love it when a sugar hit is needed - good old fashioned baking, so good.
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
125 grams butter (melted)
Pop all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Spread out firmly onto a greased slice tray (or use baking paper) and cook in a moderate oven for 15 minutes. Ice with chocolate icing while still warm & sprinkle with coconut.
