There's been a run on Pullman Pans. I know, because my husband is learning how to bake and he was searching for a pan to create a loaf of sandwich bread. He tried to find a Pullman Pan from every distributor possible, including those close to home and those online and far, far away. Finally, one distributor contacted him to tell him that, although they had listed the Pullman Pan in their online catalog, they were out. They would notify him when those pans became available. Three days later, they sent an email to tell him that his pan was on its way.
At least, that's the story I heard initially.
I was puzzled by the lack of Pullman Pans. My first knee-jerk reaction was that the world was so poor that everyone was resorting to making their own breads. But, I learned in college to always reject my first reaction to a puzzle. Instead, I should take a shower, think about it, conduct some research, fall asleep and dream about it, then wake up to a solution that may or may not prove to be a world-shaking theory.
I did learn a lot about the Pullman Pan in this process. It did derive its name from the railroad company. According to Wikipedia:
"The name "Pullman" was derived from its use in the compact kitchens of the Pullman railway cars. The Pullman Company is credited with inventing the lidded baking pans used to create the square loaves. Three Pullman loaves occupied the same space as two standard round-topped loaves, thus maximizing the use of space in the Pullman kitchen."
That Pullman car kitchen also became a prototype for what was known as the "Pullman Kitchen" in apartments, and it also served as a prototype for restaurant kitchens in the late twentieth century. Ironically, with its service to well-to-do patrons, the Pullman kitchen also became a model for fast-food restaurants, with its emphasis on speedy food preparation.
While the Pullman Company today is a mere shadow of its former greatness, its legacy lives on. From speedy lushness to fast food and bread pans…that's quite a loss in stature; but, I think – after a long shower and a restful nap – that I may have some solutions to this lack of Pullman Pans on the market.
After mulling all these possible solutions over, I asked my husband what his thoughts were about the subject. He laughed, "Why are you ruminating about this? I was looking for a 9" pan, and there was a shortage. There's an overabundance of 13" pans." I was crushed. All along, the lack of a certain Pullman Pan was the result of simple demand and supply, or the relationship that underlies all resource allocation.
Of course, I could ask what he paid for that pan and add up the price it costs to make a loaf of bread compared to the price of a loaf of bread off the store shelf. But, I don't want to stress about that cost difference right now. Sometimes, it just boils down to the hobbies that we create for ourselves…all in the name of good health and money-saving intentions as well as something to do with our hands when out of work.
Now, it's time for another nap, perchance to dream about being pampered on a lush Pullman car. I'll report later on how that bread turns out. If I can screw up my courage, I'll also report on its cost per slice.
Until later,
Linda Goin

Authors: Karunakar Marasakatla
Ancient descriptions of beginning of the Earth and the global deluge are relevant to the Earth history. Beginning of the Earth or beginning of the time appears to be the beginning of the Supercontinent cycle on the surface of the Earth around 2800 million years ago. Since then, six Supercontinent cycles were completed on the surface of the Earth and the present is the seventh cycle. Global deluge appears to be the description of the rise in sea level occurred with the breakup of each Supercontinent. Therefore global deluge occurs in the beginning of every Supercontinent cycle. Descriptions of the Manvantara cycles, seven Earths and seven Karshvars are similar to the Supercontinent cycles.

Driver in Times Square Bus Crash Arrested
Police have arrested a bus driver they say was at the wheel of one of the two double-decker tour buses that crashed Tuesday in Times Square.
58-year-old William Dalambert has been charged with Driving While Ability Impaired. Police say he was under the influence of a controlled substance.
Two double-decker tour buses collided in Times Square Tuesday afternoon, knocking over a traffic light and injuring 14 people, three of them seriously.
The Fire Department of New York said none of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening. "We believe that the traffic light did most of the injuries to the people standing in the area," said FDNY deputy chief Roger Sakowich. "And some of the flying debris from the light and from the buses."
Witness Orville Anderson said he was sitting on the steps outside the TKTS booth. "I heard a big boom," he said. "I saw the pole tumbling down onto the ground."
The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday near W. 47th Street and Seventh Avenue. One bus, a red GrayLine, appeared to be partially on the sidewalk, its windshield completely empty of glass. A blue CitySights bus was stopped just ahead. A large traffic light lay in pieces on the sidewalk.
The crash shut down a stretch of already-clogged Seventh Avenue that had experienced a bomb scare earlier in the day. The FDNY said the traffic made responding to the crash difficult. "Some of the units had to get off their rigs and proceed on foot," said Sakowich. But an FDNY spokesman said response time was four minutes.
"We were pretty fortunate," said Sakowich, "because the buses were not fully occupied...one was completely empty and one had a tour guide on it."
The cause of the crash is under investigation by the NYPD. A spokesperson for the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs said GrayLine and CitySights are licensed by DCA as sightseeing bus companies and must be inspected by the state's Department of Transportation.
David Chien, a spokesman for Twin America, the parent company which operates both of the tour buses involved in the crash, released a statement which said: "our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, and we are cooperating with the authorities."

Stamps + Hand Lettering = Ampersandity
I love this idea. For those of you (like me) who are blessed/cursed with less than lovely handwriting it's time to invest in a beautiful return address stamp. I purchased one when we moved into our new home and I'll never look back. And look no further than Ampersandity. I also adore this business card stamp idea. Genius!

ADB's Work in the Education Sector
ADB is well-positioned to provide leadership in the education sector in Asia. With over $8.2 billion in loans and grants to the education sector over the past forty years, ADB has a long track record in assisting its developing member countries (DMCs) achieve the goal of quality education for all.
ADB provides finance and advisory assistance to its developing countries for education services to tackle key challenges such as
- increasing enrollment (access)
- improving education outcomes (quality and relevance)
- reducing education inequality (equity and inclusiveness)
- reducing costs (finance and cost-efficiency)
ADB has supported the decentralization of basic education in Nepal, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan; the modernization of secondary education in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam; higher education projects in the Lao People's Democratic Republic; distance education in South Pacific countries; and open university systems in Bangladesh.
Strategy for change
With its well-developed framework for planning, project preparation, and analysis in education, ADB is well positioned to provide leadership. Education is one of the five core operation areas of Strategy 2020, ADB's long-term strategic framework. It reaffirms ADB's commitment to step up education sector operations and contribute to the further development of human capital and a skilled labor force in the region. Strategy 2020 provides a mandate to explore opportunities for new approaches. Partnerships between governments and the private sector can contribute to improving the quality and relevance of education, and to raising the cost efficiency of education delivery, including to disadvantaged groups.
Approved in 2010, Education by 2020: A Sector Operations Plan reflects ADB's commitment to increase and align its support in the education sector to meet the changing needs and priorities of its developing countries. The plan identifies key educational challenges in Asia and the Pacific in the coming years, and proposes ways for ADB to meet those challenges and stresses the importance of utilizing new and innovative models of education service delivery and financing. To achieve these goals, ADB is scaling up its programming of loans, grants, and technical assistance, and strengthening economic and sector work. Besides assisting comprehensive educational programs in developing countries that bring basic and secondary levels up to international standards, ADB is supporting postsecondary education, including vocational and higher education, as well as social protection measures that help girls and disadvantaged students to attend school. For 2012-2014, ADB has programmed support to education development in the region, totaling about $2 billion.
How does ADB influence development in the region through its educational investments?
- ADB, DMCs, and other development stakeholders agree that nations need to reach and maintain a critical level of basic skills to provide the social and economic means for societies to grow and prosper.
- If ADB can help each DMC in Asia to strengthen its own formal and informal education and training system, then each country and the region collectively will stand a better chance to compete in the global economy.
- ADB offers scholarships through the ADB-Japan Fund for Scholarship Program as well as internship and research fellowship opportunities to eligible candidates from DMCs.
- ADB and the international community stress the importance of reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) including universal primary education with gender parity and near universal primary school completion through grade 6.
- ADB recognizes that universal basic education goes hand-in-hand with expansion of post primary education, teacher education, and skills training that together rest on the strong primary school foundation. ADB helps each DMC develop a good mix of financing across the various school subsectors.
- ADB assists middle-income DMCs in determining the best strategy for human resource development to make the knowledge economy work for people. As development funds are scarce, ways will have to be found to allow more students to also acquire quality higher education and skills and training programs at competitive cost.

A number of Real Salt Lake players are up for weekly accolades - and not just from the team's 2-0 win over Vancouver.
Midfielder Luis Gil is a Goal of the Week nominee for his game-winning header. The goal was started by a terrific goal kick from Nick Rimando followed by a perfect cross from Joao Plata.
Plata, who had two assists on the night, and Javier Morales are up for Latin American Player of the Week honors.
And finally, Enzo Martinez, on loan to the Carolina RailHawks is a contender or the NASL Play of the Week for his 84th minute blast to tie the game. Martinez was sent to Carolina on a short-term loan last week. He came on in the 77th minute of the match to score his first goal with the club.

With all due respect these are not good enough to sell here so you will need to refine the designs etc first before worrying about Documents. That said what is it you are unsure about with that part? If you release stuff here you will need to be able to answer questions and support that item an therefore need the required understanding. Good luck
I got Web designs, and Graphic Designs and I need someone to organise them for me to put on Themeforest requirements for the market.

@ ericolisboa: I think the best way for you to try this is splitting the sales profit with the author who'll develop this for you. This way you wont pay anything before seeing the work and your new partner will certainly work hard to make things work.
thanks mate! definitely a good advice.. I'm working on new developers now. cheers

HATS OFF to The Elgiva for another spectacular in-house produced pantomime. It really has outdone itself. I was thrilled to once again see it be unique and avoid the conventional Jack and The Beanstalk, Cinderella and Dick Whittington pantos and opt for the beautiful tale of Beauty and the Beast instead.
Beauty and the Beast was one of my favourite films as a child (and still is now) so I was so excited to see the tale performed on the stage. While you can still see similarities to the Disney version the pantomime's narrative is based more on the older and slightly darker fairytale, which means no dancing candles, clocks and pottery. Sorry kids.
I went along to the first showing of the panto at 10.30am on December 1, so I was expecting a few slip-ups and not a lot of energy because of the early hour. However, apart from a slight wig malfunction by Nurse Jackie O La La (played by Grange Hill's Colin Ridgewell) which was corrected professionally and actually added humour to the show, it ran flawlessly and every member of the cast gave it 110 per cent.
Despite it being 10.30am the theatre was packed with pupils from Stony Dean School in Amersham. Even if you do not enjoy the pantomime, which I highly doubt, even going along to see the smiles on the children's faces is truly magical and that alone is worth every penny.
The show begins with Beauty and the Beast and some rose petals falling projected on to a back drop the Disney theme tune. It looked very impressive and set the standard of what was to follow.
The show opens with the Spirit of the Rose, played by Chesham's own Alexis Caley, explaining the narrative in song to the tune of Science Fiction/Double Feature from The Rocky Horror Show.
I thought this worked really well and I like how after she has finished the song she made sure everyone understood the plot by quickly summing it up once more.
She explains how once upon a time there was a handsome but selfish prince, played by Chesham's Lee Bright, who feel foul of a sorceress, Carabosse (played by Linda Clark), and was doomed to spend the next 500 years hidden in his castle in the guise of a grotesque beast. The only way to break the spell is if the beast learns to love and be loved, only then will he regain his true form and live – yes, you have guessed it, happily ever after.
We are then introduced to Carabosse who is on the opposite side of the stage (stage left of course adhering to tradition) to the Spirit of the Rose. After some banter between the two we learn of Carabosse's evil plan. The Spirit of the Rose believes Beauty is the one to break the curse and Carabosse has vowed to do anything she can to prevent it from happening.
Carabosse had the audience eating out of her hands as she got them to boo and hiss on queue. I thought Linda Clark did an absolutely sublime job as Carabosse, she was perfect for the role. She was able to get the audience to despise her character while at the same time deliver humour and get the audience to like her and enjoy her being on stage.
We are then taking to Cheshamvale where we meet our heroine Beauty, played by The Bill's Nicola Alexis. We learn how our heroine is beautiful on both the outside and inside and is longing for adventure and to go outside Cheshamvale.
We then meet the other residents of Cheshamvale including Beauty's father, The Mayor of Cheshamvale (played by Giles Stoakley), Beauty's dog Dave who looks a lot like Scooby Doo, Billy (played by John Voce) who is secretly in love with Beauty and Billy's sister Nurse Jackie 'O La La' who takes on the traditional pantomime role of the dame.
Billy is the character who most interacts with the crowd getting them to say 'oh yes she was', 'it is behind you' and other audience interactions. Voce does a really good job of getting the audience to have fun and into the spirit of the pantomime and the children in the crowd absolutely loved him.
Of course no pantomime is complete without the Dame and Ridgewell does a fantastic job and had more costume changes than a Lady GaGa concert. Nurse Jackie is always cracking jokes not just for the children but for the adults as well. And of course there are a few innuendos, but do not worry parents they are not too naughty.
Ridgewell did a cracking job and it was hard to believe this was his first role as a dame.
Someone else who is perfectly cast is Nicola Alexis as Beauty. Not only is she beautiful but she is perfect at portraying the sweet as sugar Beauty and getting the whole audience to love her.
Last year's star of Robin Hood, Lee Bright, returned once more in the spotlight as Beast and is definitely the man for the job. My one criticism is you do not really get to see that much of him, especially in act one and I think that is a shame. I would have liked to have seen a little more of the relationship develop between Beauty and Beast.
Act one ends with Beauty going to stay with Beast at his castle for one year and a day to save her father's life. Act one does not end in the traditional pantomime way of all happy and cheery with an up-beat song but it is actually quite dark and leaves you feeling quite sorry for Beauty.
I think this worked really well because it helped to highlight the dark tone that lies within the fairytale and again it was quite refreshing to have tradition broken slightly.
The special effects used throughout the show were amazing, with the end of act one and the Beast transforming sticking out for me.
The set and costumes were also amazing. They were so colourful and sparkly and really complimented the narrative and helped to create the magic of the show.
Something else that worked well was the soundtrack, with the characters singing hits from the likes of Lady GaGa and JLS as well as the Bee Gees. There is definitely one song in the show that is guaranteed to have every member of the audience singing along or tapping their feet at one point or another.
There is also the pantomime tradition of an audience involvement song where the whole crowd are encouraged to join in with actions. This year it was 'big fish, little fish, cardboard box', so make sure you practise your moves because you will go head-to-head with the other side of the audience in a sing-off.
Audience interaction is another key feature of a pantomime and it is something that The Elgiva has done really well. If you are sitting at the back, do not fear, you will not be left out as at several points during the show characters will come out into the crowd and go all the way to the back of the auditorium.
If you are a little worried that the show may be a little childish for you, I can promise you it will not be the case. I had similar fears but my doubts were soon put to rest as the cast embarked on an energetic and colourful two-hour production that had all the children and adults in the audience joining in and filling the auditorium with laughter and applause.
At the end of the show there was not a single person still sitting. Everyone was up on their feet giving the cast and crew the applause that they truly deserved.
I already can not wait for next year's pantomime although I think The Elgiva has a tough time on its hands to better this year's. Bravo.

Pressure on ad blitz to sell IR laws
Political correspondent
Page Tools
Government strategists are considering speeding up their advertising blitz to counter union attacks on the dramatic rewrite of industrial relations laws proposed by John Howard.
Concerned that union claims are starting to bite after a multimillion-dollar television and radio campaign and huge public rallies led by the ACTU, the Government is searching for a way to quell public fears.
Mr Howard's personal approval rating collapsed 10 per cent to 49 per cent this week - the biggest fall recorded since he became Prime Minister. The AC Nielsen poll for The Age also found Labor leading the Coalition 54 to 46 per cent on a two-party-preferred vote. Sixty per cent of people who were aware of the changes opposed them, including 23 per cent of Coalition voters.
Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews yesterday refused to confirm or deny plans to bring forward the Government's campaign. "We will provide facts to people," he said. "At the moment, you've got a campaign out there that is untruthful."
But The Age has been told the Government may move faster than expected to counter the union campaign. Unions and Labor have moved their campaign to marginal seats this week, hammering claims that the new laws will erode job security and leave people less time with family.
Their campaign is based on polling for Unions NSW, which found one in three workers say their working hours are already putting stress on their home life.
Labor strategists hope to drive a wedge into the Coalition over concerns for the impact of the changes on family life.
But business groups yesterday pledged to fight the union campaign without an expensive advertising push, saying the changes would result in more jobs and a stronger economy.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry boss Peter Hendy said he was concerned some Coalition senators might be swayed by family-centred fear campaigns, but business groups would persuade them otherwise.
Also yesterday, ACTU president Sharan Burrow warned that workers' leave entitlements could be reduced from four weeks to two under the proposed laws. She said a Government briefing to business was believed to have outlined the option of getting employees to bargain away their leave entitlements.
But Mr Andrews said a minimum of four weeks annual leave would remain law.

From our friends at Islands Magazine…
In this personal story about his trip to Mentawai, "It's a Mentawai Paddle," ISLANDS editor Eddy Patricelli discusses why he journeyed to these remote islands in Indonesia and what he brought back.
Is this still my dream trip? The boat I'm on looks seaworthy, but its Indonesian crew looks suspect. One teen sleeps across three outboard engines that are running wide open. The other stands in board shorts holding an engine throttle. He's smoking. My eyes drift to the gas cans at his feet. "Ker-o-seen," he mouths — steering my gaze with his cigarette to red plastic containers. "No wurr-ee. No boooom."
I nod but quickly face forward. Our 37-foot ferry, packed with surfboards, luggage and eight passengers, motors toward a blank Indian Ocean horizon. I hope there's an island out there, an un-missable island.
In theory, we're headed for the Kandui Resort, one of few places travelers can stay in the 70-island Indonesian archipelago of Mentawai (MEN-tah-why). The islands sit about 60 miles off Sumatra, but they might as well be farther. The isles are home to their own people, language, history, even shamans. Some claim this archipelago has the world's most preserved culture — and the best surfing. No matter the wind, no matter the current, these islands are uniquely arranged on the edge of the ocean to always have perfect waves. All that is why it has been my life's dream to come here. My wife's due date gave me a deadline. She blessed this as my swan-song surf trip. But now, I'm not exactly sure what it is.

As part of the agreement Qualcomm, through its Pixtronix subsidiary, will work with Sharp – which supplies screens to Apple Inc for its latest iPhone – to develop new power-saving screens based on Sharp's IGZO technology, Sharp said.
The two firms will also consider collaborating in the fabrication of chipsets.

text: NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nissan today launched "The Detour," an exciting virtual driving adventure in support of the ongoing rollout of the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue compact SUV. Available now at http://www.nissanusa.com/the-detour, The Detour utilizes Google ® Street View, Google ® Maps and Google ® Satellite API – along with Hollywood-style digital effects and a soundtrack from recording artist M.I.A. – to create a custom test drive experience starting from anywhere around the world. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140204/CL58342)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080506/NISSANBADGELOGO) "Recent studies show that new car buyers today spend nearly twice as much time researching their purchases online than at dealerships – more clicking than kicking the tires, so to speak. So why not bring the two together with an informative and enjoyable test drive in buyers' own neighborhoods?" said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Nissan Marketing Communications & Media, Nissan North America, Inc. "The new Rogue is off to an amazing start since it was introduced last fall and we expect The Detour to direct a lot of traffic from the website straight to local Nissan dealerships." The Detour was created by Critical Mass, Nissan's lead digital agency, and brings together software from Google ®, the talents of Academy Award-winning director of photography Guillermo Navarro, digital production and creative technology from Unit9, and digital effects from Digital Domain/Mothership, an Academy Award-winning digital production company. Together, the partners solved the tricky technical challenges of rendering a photo-real vehicle in real-time as commuters travel their personalized routes and more. The virtual test drive's soundtrack, worthy of a blockbuster trailer, features M.I.A.'s new single "YALA," which is available for download on NissanUSA.com. Critical Mass Executive Creative Director Steve Savic explained, "Since driving the new Nissan Rogue is so exciting, we put people in the action by allowing them to take a drive on their very own street. But we couldn't shoot the car on every road in the world, so we turned to Google ® Street View to gives us our set. Working on 'The Detour' was like creating an action scene on the most unconventional location ever." Optimized for desktops, tablets and smartphones, the virtual test drivers start their cinematic action-adventure by entering their point of origin and destination address or using their current location from the browser settings.

After a day of travel, many of us, upon arrival to a hotel room, will deposit our luggage on a luggage rack and flop onto the bed. And while this may be the most convenient—and comfortable—series of events, it's also the riskiest. The reason? These locales are prime real estate for bed bugs.
Small insects that feed on human and animal blood, bed bugs lay hundreds of eggs that are hard to spot—each is no larger than a speck of dust. The statistics are somewhat terrifying: According to a recent survey, hotels and motels are the third most popular popular place pest professionals encounter bed bugs. Once inside a hotel, bed bugs are easily able to spread from room to room through a number of means including pipes, wall sockets, vacuum cleaners, on clothing, and luggage. Given that adult bed bugs can survive several months without eating, they are often incredibly hard to control.
In recent months, bed bugs have been on the rise across the country. A 2015 Bugs Without Borders study found that bed bug treatments are significantly higher nationwide than 15 years ago, and New York City hotels alone saw a 44 percent increase for January of this year compared to 2015—even at five-star hotels.
To minimize your risk of contact with bed bugs at a hotel, experts say you should first place your luggage in the bathtub—a slippery surface that is difficult for the bugs to cling onto. Continue inspecting your room by examining the bed: check its mattress, piping, and headboard, and pull up the comforters and look for small black dots that resemble ground pepper. See anything suspicious? Speak up, and contact hotel staff immediately.

Year in review part I: Greenville police chief Hassan Aden
Aden reflects on his first year in office
GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY - Greenville police chief Hassan Aden will complete his first year in office the week of November 24th.
It's been a busy year for Aden and his department, highlighted by some major crimes. "Several segments of the year were peppered with violence," he said.
Aden felt confident in his ability to run the department thanks to decades of experience in the field. Not many police chiefs started where Aden did. He spent the late 1980's and early 1990's in the trenches as an undercover officer. "I was on a DEA task force, so I was basically from Miami to New York," said Aden.
His job as chief is no cake walk, either. As a matter of fact, he had to hit the ground running, by investigating a dirty cop in his new outfit. "That case was brought to my attention as soon as I got here, essentially. Like on day two," said Aden. The case he referred to was that of former officer Rose Edmonds. "The allegations were that she stole drugs and money and we had an indication that did indeed occur," he said.
Edmonds pleaded guilty to three counts of altering, stealing and/or destroying criminal evidence on October 10th, 2013.
For Aden, that first test was just the beginning. The year's first murder came on January 2nd. "That was in the middle of a pretty violent couple of weeks and it was within my first month and a half," he said.
Officers say 36-year-old Anthony Johnson found dead in his front yard on Westridge Court; the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. Two days later, 16-year-old Jahrheel May was arrested for Johnson's murder, triggering an emotional response from his mother (listen above).
In June, Aden's department and the community were tested again. "The events of June 21st of 2013 were, I think a defining moment for this city," said Aden. His department responded to a call of shots fired on Greenville Boulevard. That's where Lakim Faust allegedly shot one man in the parking lot of the Kellum Law Firm, as well as three more across the street at Wal Mart.
All four victims survived. Faust is currently in jail under $6 Million dollar bond. "In that particular incident it was an A+. 100 percent," said Aden, in regards his officers' response.
Aden says the city of Greenville has improved during his tenure, but there's still work to be done. "It's gonna take a while, it took a while to get where we are today, it's gonna take us a little longer to get us where we wanna be," said Aden.

Charter School Spending Questioned
The Texas State Board of Education is accusing some charter schools of overcharging taxpayers, 1200 WOAI news.
Tom Ratliff is calling on the State Commissioner of Education and the Legislature to get involved.
He says superintendent salaries are way out of line when you consider the number of students who are enrolled in charter schools.
"The average in public schools is about $6 per student goes to a superintendent's salary," Ratliff told 1200 WOAI news. "In these charter schools, in some cases that figure is in the hundreds."
He cited one charter school where the superintendent makes $992 per student.
He says that figure made him dig deeper into the financial accountability reports for charter schools.
"56% of charter schools spend over the recommended benchmark amount, at the same time, 98% of public schools spend under that amount," he said.
Ratliff said charter spending has never before been examined.
"The per pupil costs of some of these charter superintendents, the numbers are way out of whack," he said.
Charter schools are public schools, which receive public funding, but are outside of the authority of traditional ISDs.
"In the old Watergate days, the message was 'follow the money'," Ratliff said. "I think it's time for the TEA and the Legislature and the taxpayers to follow the money."

In his junior year of high school, my son Frank, then 17, was invited with his crew team to row in the
annual regatta at Henley-on-Thames in England. The Henley Regatta is more or less the World Series of
rowing, and St. Andrew's, Frank's team, fresh from a season it dominated in the eastern United States,
manned (or boyed) an extremely strong boat. On the very first day, the crew of eight powered its way
through nearly 2,000 of the 2,112-meter course, well ahead of its competition, the English school
Canford (all the races at Henley are two-boat races). But about 10 strokes short of the finish, one of
the rowers made a mistake, crippling the boat and causing it to slide impotently onto the wooden
barriers bordering the race lane. Canford crept ahead and won.
The scene at the rowing sheds afterward, while perhaps lacking the dimension of full tragedy, was
among the saddest I have ever seen: eight youths on the verge of adulthood suddenly returned to their
cribs by the crushing disappointment. As a show of solidarity, each had shaved his head the night
before; and now here they were, childlike baldies wondering what had happened.
So when Frank phoned four years later and said he and Dartmouth, his college team, had been invited to
the regatta, I took the news with a sense of both hope and dread.
For 51 weeks a year, Henley is a most picturesque countryside town along the river Thames, lying
roughly equidistant between the glorious city of Oxford and the tawdry city of Reading. Of the river
itself, Sir Walter Scott wrote, "There are two things scarce matched in the Universe, the Sun in
Heaven and the Thames on the Earth." A 170-year-old patriotic hyperbole aside, at Henley the river—the
vista, the gingerbread houses with viewing balconies overlooking the pleasure boats and yachts—is
indeed a jewel. The place has a natural quaintness, as opposed to a created one, that many English
villages can only envy and ape.
And for almost the whole year, nothing particularly newsworthy happens in this town of 11,000.
Brakspears (rhymes with Shakespeares) brews its beers, Hobbs Boat Yard repairs and rents out boats,
Bromlea & Jonkers sells rare books, and the Red Lion Hotel, a majestic castle with good rooms and bad
food, manages decent business. Then, in early summer, Henley welcomes some 250,000 visitors over a
period of five days—as if New York suddenly played host to 200 million. Like Brigadoon, the town
springs to life, transforming itself into an Edwardian sporting event-cum-costume party that rivals
the World Cup as a tournament, and Ascot and Wimbledon as a social event.
For those with the gnawing suspicion that they were born in the wrong century, the Henley
Regatta—begun in 1839—is a paradise. It is not only the dress code that makes the scene look like an
open call for The Importance of Being Earnest—no trousers on ladies, dresses and skirts at least two
inches below the knee (and generally to the ankle); gents must be blazered and necktied or cravatted.
It is also the choice of those who fill the posher section of the viewing areas. Frequently, the men
outdo the women: panamas and straw boaters festoon the pink-cheeked faces of present-day Evelyn
Waughs, often competing for color with their rowing club jackets piped in opposing hues. Although most
of the one-mile, 550-yard strip that parallels the course is open to the public, the regatta
organization owns and administers the last 500 yards or so, and it is here in the Stewards Enclosure
that the regatta looks put together by Merchant Ivory.
The picnicking in the grassy parking lots outside the regatta grounds might remind you of tailgating
at a football game—if the spread were catered by Tiffany. Brightly striped, four-cornered tents open
at the sides protect the dapper dressers as well as their china, sterling, and crystal (for champagne,
of course). Tiny glazed quail, crustless sandwiches—you get the picture. Various 25-piece brass bands
take turns playing loud and chauvinistic tunes all day. On Saturday, hoi polloi fill the towpath in
various stages of well-mannered raucousness and all forms of dress, dining at food stands with names
like YOO WAN NOODLES?But in the Stewards Enclosure, most of the dandies are deceptively foppish: as
either former or present rowers or family of former or present rowers, they are very invested in the
Dartmouth's rowing season had been a disappointment, and though its hopes for the regatta were high,
no one expected the team to do particularly well, especially considering that they had finished eighth
at the Eastern Sprints in the spring, far behind the two top contenders. I prayed only that Dartmouth
would win once and the St. Andrew's curse would not revisit the river. So touched with superstition
and foreboding was the event that Frank's younger brother, Eddie, still a rower at St. Andrew's,
refused to videotape it, because that's what he'd been doing at the Great Humiliation four years
So I watched with unalloyed joy as the Dartmouth eight creamed its first competitor, the Hollandia
Roeiclub from the Netherlands, by more than two lengths. I hurried back to the sheds to find the team
relieved but hardly callithumping. The men (no longer boys) were already preparing for the match the
following day with the dreaded Yale, and the oarsmen looked even grimmer than they had before the
The next day, I rode out in the umpire's launch, which trails the racing boats, accompanied by the
Yale coach. His chatty confidence continued until halfway through the race—about three minutes—at which point his team had fallen behind by half a boat length. After seven minutes, he stepped out of the umpire's boat, a forced smile straining his face. Dartmouth had pulled off the unthinkable—beaten Yale by more than a length.
On the 27th Sunday of the year (the day the finals are always held), what the New York Times later
called "the most exciting race of the day" broke into action at a cloudy, cool 2:40 p.m. One-third of the way, Princeton led by a half-length, then by three-quarters, and seemed to be breaking away.
Gradually Dartmouth gained, but never drew even, not at the halfway mark, the mile-and-an-eighth, or a
hundred yards from the end. But at the last moment, the upstarts from Hanover somehow pulled across
the finish line first, winning by what is called a canvas (about two feet) and defeating the best team
on the East Coast.
The normally restrained onlookers burst into catcalls and applause—the race had been so brilliant.
Back at the sheds, havoc erupted. We cheered the boat as it docked, and the victors peeled out—one
rower with a bad back had to be lifted from the shell, another rolled onto the dock in agony, a third
leaned over to throw up into the river. What appears to the casual spectator an elegant and graceful
activity—boats gliding silently by under Constable skies—belies the effort and strain the sport
requires. But most were simply exultant: they embraced, cheered, threw themselves and one another (and
even their coach) into the Thames. Frank cried in his mother's arms, Eddie in mine—they are emotional
boys, thank God—and even the customarily reserved Coach Armstrong struggled to fight back tears.
The hoopla on the dock lasted nearly an hour. A dinghy motored by, and several Brits hollered, "Three
cheers for Dartmouth!" The Princeton team came next, and everyone lined up and shook hands. I am
told—and the size of Frank's headache the next day substantiates it—that the neighboring pubs were visited well past their normal closing hours that night.

Henley is a one-hour train ride from Paddington Station. The drive from London takes 45 minutes, but it's best to avoid Regatta Week traffic.
The Red Lion Hotel (Hart St.; 44-1491/572-161; doubles from $230) is the most popular place in town but is booked years in advance. Danesfield House Hotel & Spa (Henley Rd., Marlow-on-Thames; 44-1628/891-010; doubles from $360), a terrific alternative, sits on 65 acres three miles away.
The bold cooking of London has not arrived at Henley, but Loch Fyne (Market Place; 44-1491/845-780; dinner for two $80) offers smoked wild salmon and good fish. Zizzi (Hart St.; 44-1491/410-070; dinner for two $80) is more Italian than British. The busy Angel on the Bridge (Thameside; 44-1491/410-678; dinner for two $65), just inches from the river, won't have any seats available. The pub food at the far less crowded Bull Inn (Bell St.; 44-1491/574-821; dinner for two $65) is quite excellent.

When Facebook Stalking Goes Wrong
We've all been there. You meet someone new, you want to check out your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, word around the street is that the mean girl from high school got fat… no matter the excuse, you're stalking someone of Facebook. I've said it many times, "Facebook is a legal form of stalking and I love it". The sheer terror that takes over your body when you think you've accidentally "liked" a photo from 2011 is second to none.
Well, a dear co-worker of mine had a major Facebook "Oh, Lawd no!" moment today. Here's the hilarious mishap…
Due to complete embarrassment, we won't be using her real name. From now on, we'll refer to her as "Romy". So, Romy decided to try online dating. It lasted five gruesome days. The one highlight from the train-wreck of hundreds of messages and "winks" was a nice, attractive gentleman who struck her fancy. He matched all of her requirements and they had a lot in common. (From his profile, of course, ha!) So, an email was exchanged and he friended her on Facebook. Now, nothing has really come of this since then. (Which, I think is silly… seriously, they would look great together! Just sayin.)
So, Romy, did what we all do… stalked his Facebook page. (Ok, if you are seriously reading this and trying to convince yourself that you don't stalk people on Facebook, you're either lying to yourself or you're doing it all wrong.) Well, you see, Romy isn't great with technology, especially her smartphone. So, while checking her Facebook on her phone, she noticed her internet interest had posted a picture of his pet. I know what you're thinking, "Oh my gosh, I bet she accidentally 'liked' his photo." Yeah, no. We wish that's what she did! We're still not sure what really happened, she said it's all a blur, haha! But, somehow, she posted a picture of her daughter and her pet on HIS page!! What?!? How is that even possible, haha!!
I'm still crying from laughing so hard as I type this. And, we've gone into damage control mode… does she just leave it there and pretend she intended to post it? Does she comment below the pic saying, "Oops! Didn't mean to post this, haha!"? Or does she delete the picture, although we know he's probably already seen it?
Well, I've sure gotten a good laugh out of this today and honestly, she has too.
Stalking on Facebook is an art, my friends. You must be careful while on someone else's page, especially if you don't want them to know you're stalking them. The only Facebook stalking mistake that you can't ever recover from is thinking you've typed someone's name in the search box, but you've accidentally typed it as your status.
Happy stalking friends!

You wouldn't think that a video from last week's VMworld would be worth watching, but you'd be wrong! Wrong, I say!
Here's a clever video from Spark Media Solutions, asking VMworld attendees the question, ""How do you explain virtualization to your mom" Their answers are quite entertaining, to say the least:
In the end, we still don't get much of an answer that we could use for our own moms. This also reminded me that when my kids grow up and start their own careers, that they won't be able to describe teleportation, light-speed engineering, or how the replicator works to me. They'll just say, "It's magic, Dad!"
If you were given the chance, how would you explain virtualization to your mom? Let me know in the comments.

- 18 percent of women aged 18 and older are poor, compared with 14 percent of comparable men.
- 27 percent of African American women and 28 percent of Hispanic women aged 18 and older live at or below the federal poverty line, compared with 17 percent of white women.
- Women with some college education or an associate's degree have median annual earnings that are $10,500 less than those of men with only a high school diploma or the equivalent.
WASHINGTON, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A recently released report, The Status of Women and Girls in West Virginia , shows women in the state have made gains in education and entrepreneurship, but still face disproportionate levels of poverty and a gaping gender wage gap. This report was written by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) in collaboration with the West Virginia Women's Commission (WVWC). Women in West Virginia face a higher gender wage gap than women in all other states except Louisiana and Wyoming. The gender wage gap in West Virginia is 31 percent, compared with 21 percent for the nation as a whole. On average, women in West Virginia who work full-time, year-round earn $29,000 compared with $42,000 for men. In some good news for the state, the number of women-owned businesses increased by nearly 3,500 between 1997 and 2007. One recent study shows that the state has experienced faster-than-average growth in the revenues women-owned firms contribute to the economy. Additionally, the proportion of women who hold a bachelor's degree or higher increased from 11 percent in 1990 to 18 percent in 2010. While more West Virginia women are obtaining higher education than two decades ago, as of 2010, West Virginia ranked 51st out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia for its proportion of women with a four-year college degree. According to the report, in West Virginia:

The NY Post has an item today about Taylor Armstrong. I'm guessing they got the story from eyewitnesses and did not need to hack any phones or search bank accounts to get the information. Anyway, they said that Real Housewife, Taylor Armstrong was all over Hell's Kitchen chef Seth Levine. I can see that. Taylor is not exactly the happiest married woman in the world. Her husband was probably at home and I think Taylor has way more fun away from home than we think. Taylor's reps denied it. Whatever. You save your denials for the stories when someone says Taylor did something wrong after dinner, you know when she went back to her hotel.
"Patron Dina Lohan told Armstrong, 'You better take care of him,' as she left the lounge, and Armstrong obliged."

sorry to interrupt your wisdom teeth thread...don't have any thank god.Whats up man. I'm from the Dayton area, but right now I'm goin to school in Toledo. Yark Subaru is where I do all of my things if I'm not home. Aso for tint, I was looking at prices and for the sedan, I think 35% was around $180 including lifetime warranty.Originally posted by WR Blue Pearl
Hey guys, new to the forum as of a few weeks ago, but more importantly, I'll be new to Ohio pretty soon. I'm moving to Toledo in October, currently in northern Wisconsin. Can't wait to move to civilization! Let me know what I'm in for, who's out there, and who I should hook up with when I get down there. Anybody else right in Toledo?
Also looking for a a good Subie dealer to work with, (my '04 has 800 miles on it) and I'm looking for a good tint shop. What can I expect to pay down there for 35% on all 5 windows? Last question, does Ohio require you to post a front liscense plate? Wisconsin does and it really sucks up the look of the front of the car.
as for other wrx's up here, i rarely see any, so it'll be nice to have another around. when do you plan to make the trip?

All I have to say is that wagon is quick! Once that thing spooled it would come out of turns like you would not believe. Too bad it's an auto. I even I people coming up to me to talk about the auto, it was interesting.

So the weekend went awesome! Fatgoundhog and I had a great time, along with the wife and kid.
After some instruction, I got 6 laps in. Not a lot, but more than most people get in a lifetime!
No, I didn't have it. I left it in my car.
That looks awesome. How fast did you get it up to?
Wait, they don't have speedos do they?
Yup.... No spedo... Only oil press and temp. They "say" 140 something. Not sure if I really got that fast. Distance and speed is really hard to judge in those things. It could have been 10 mph, and it was still a blast!

Contributing to our Rescue & Transport programs enables RVAS to save all lives.
Molly's Fund was founded in memory of a beautiful Golden Retriever, Molly, who lost her life from the result of a hanging. Still unresolved, Molly is just one example of the many companions that fall victim to abuse, neglect and criminal activity every day in Iowa alone.
Your contribution enables us to investigate neglect & abuse complaints, offer assistance to local law enforcement, provide rewards for those convicted of crimes, and provides the necessary funding to enforce Iowa's animal rights laws.
An unaltered female cat, her mate and all of her offspring, producing 2 litters per year, with 2.8 surviving kittens per litter can total 370,092 homeless, unwanted and stray kittens in just 7 years!
Millions of companion animals are euthanized every year or die horrible deaths because of one animal not being spayed or neutered.
Your contribution enables RVAS to offer low-cost spay and neuter services by networking with local veterinarians and mobile spay and neuter clinics.
Did you know that it is considered Humane in Iowa to chain a dog 24 hours, 7 days a week, outside, as long as their is minimal care provided? It's true!
Solving many of the companion animal problems that exist in our society today means changing the law, starting with your own state. Your contribution enables RVAS to "take action" in Iowa to ensure that all companion animals are treated humanely in our state and throughout the rest of the nation.
Approximately 30% of the companions that enter our care have special needs such as a special diet, diabetes, heartworm and FIV positive (feline aids). Companion Animals can and should have the treatment necessary to live quality healthy lives.
