Leo Hickman and the Guardian deserve to be congratulated for drawing attention to the emergence of a whole raft of internet-based personal location services (How I became a Foursquare cyberstalker, G2, 23 July). As Hickman showed, this new breed of online applications has the potential to be truly spooky.
Anyone collecting or broadcasting data about someone else's physical whereabouts should be obliged to observe the very highest standards of data security, yet Hickman's piece reveals some extremely slipshod work. However, the otherwise excellent story overlooked one angle. Because every location service I know of, including Foursquare, is paid for by advertising it means the apps are free to the end user, available for download by anyone who can click a mouse. That includes children. Ofcom's research has shown that around one in five children between the ages of eight and 12 are already getting away with lying about their age to create profiles on Facebook, MySpace or Bebo. Can we look forward to one in five children blithely linking location services to their social networking profiles, adding yet another and qualitatively new layer of risk? I suspect other stalkers who will surely follow in Hickman's steps will not have the same benign intent.
Just because a thing becomes technically possible it does not mean every online business should stampede towards it, and indeed some are not doing so. More credit to them. There is or ought to be an ethical dimension to business. Google and Yahoo should give a lead and immediately drop their personal location products (Latitude and FireEagle) and promise not to reintroduce them until they have a way of keeping kids off the premises.

Repeated FSU failures 08 328I convertible
I am experiencing repeated FSU failures in my 08 328I convertible. I am going on my 5th replacement. The replacements work well for a short time then quit. Heater fan will not turn on at all. The FSU shows burn marks at the spade terminals. Could it be the quality of aftermarket replacement parts? It could be. Is there a difference in the units that BMW dealerships sell? These units do run up in temperature being resistor units, maybe insulation quality is not up to par. However I have a dealership vs internet replacement both with the same problem (burn marks at the spade terminals). What gives? Anyone have a photo of the wiring harness attachments to the FSU so I can make sure there are no factory wiring screwups. Factories make wiring errors all the time. Are resistor units polarity sensitive? If the red and brown wires were inadvertently reversed for example?
What is an "FSU?"
Repeated FSU failures
I think Jimbo Fisher is the source of such failures. :)
Typically when I have seen this failure it is ALWAYS the fan pulling way more amps and the fuse will not always fail to protect it.
I would also use a good dab of dielectric grease to improve the connection because DC arcing isn't normal at all. I would imagine replacing the fan is a PITA as is the case in all 3 series BMWs.
Multiple FSU failures points right to the fan...
I bet if you drove around long enough with the fan on the max setting it will blow the fuse.

This is an open label two-arm randomized prospective study of two treatments for P. vivax malaria. Patients meeting study inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated either chloroquine alone or chloroquine plus primaquine (0.25mg/kg/day for 14 days). Patients will be followed-up for 1 year, with clinical and laboratory examinations at each visit. Patients with recurrent P. vivax infection will be treated with the same medication as initially randomized unless contraindicated. Recurrences in the two arms will be compared to estimate the risk of and mean duration to relapse, classify the relapse pattern as early or late relapse and to estimate the efficacy and safety of the study drugs.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis will be used as far as possible help to distinguish between relapse and re-infection. Samples for chloroquine pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected on day 7 from each study subject as well as on the day of recurrence if within 8 weeks of chloroquine

Detailed Description:
Globally more than 100 countries are endemic of malaria and about 60% of world population are at risk of getting the infection while around 10% are harboring malaria parasite in their blood stream. Of the four species of plasmodium that infect humans, Plasmodium vivax is responsible for 50% of all malaria cases outside Africa, and is endemic in the Middle East, Asia and Western Pacific, with a lower prevalence in Central and South America a common cause of malaria in many tropical and subtropical regions. Conventional control methods are rather inefficient for preventing transmission of this species of malaria. This is partly due to the persistence of the infectious reservoir, which take the form of latent hypnozoites in the liver, producing recurrent relapses and opportunities for new transmission for several years after initial infection.
Primaquine (PQ) is the only available drug regimen which can eliminate the persisting liver stages (hypnozoites) of P. vivax,but its use for 14 days is ineffective to prevent relapses at 15 mg daily dose (0.25mg/kg) in Southeast Asia and in Brazil, and at a higher dose of 22.5 mg daily in the Southwest Pacific. Due to high relapse rates, a primaquine regimen of 30 mg daily (0.5 mg/kg) for 14 d is now widely recommended for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) normal patients.
P.vivax is the predominant species in Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan. In this area G6PD deficiency is a common trait (7% in Pakistani and 14% in Afghan Pashtoon respectively). However facilities to test for G6PD deficiency are not available and hence routine administration of primaquine is not recommended in national guidelines because of the risk of severe haemolysis in those who cannot be tested.
Several national malaria programmes in Asia have adopted a truncated 5-day course of PQ for vivax malaria to reduce the risk of haemolysis to reasonable levels and to increases compliance rates. Recently this has been documented as being ineffective at reducing relapse rates amongst Afghan refugees in Pakistan while a supervised 14 day course can significantly reduce the frequency of second and third episodes of disease. This is also confirmed by a study in India. Use of the 14 day course is only recommended where the G6PD status of the individual is known, and, currently, where compliance with the full course can be assured. However supervision of patients for 14 day post presentation is seldom feasible in the majority of settings where vivax malaria predominates. Therefore the supposition that patients in a low literacy population will not comply with a 14 day course of treatment in the absence of supervision needs to be confirmed under normal operational conditions. Compliance in taking the drug cannot be monitored by direct observation or by chemical assay of residues in the blood because such interference may, in itself, affect compliance.

Fabio Capello's injury concerns ahead of the game with Ukraine have only served to highlight how short England are in
the striking department.
With Emile Heskey ruled out through injury, it has become
clear that there are precious few other options for the Group 6 game at
Capello called up Darren Bent to the squad after Heskey and
Carlton Cole's withdrawals, but the Tottenham man has already succumbed to
injury and will play no part.
Even so, the fact that Bent was considered in the first
place speaks volumes about the dearth of striking options England have
Considering Bent has so far failed to convince he is even capable
of doing a job at Premier League level, how can he be expected to lead the line
for his country in a vital World Cup qualifier?
Gabriel Agbonlahor has been called up as Bent's replacement,
but the Aston Villa man is lacking in confidence at the moment and suffering
from a terrible run of form. One goal in 17 games is hardly the kind of record you'd
want to from a player about to spearhead England's attack in such a crucial
But what were the other options? James Beattie has done well
enough since moving to Stoke City and Kevin Davies regularly does a decent job
for Bolton, but neither are good enough to hold their own at international
Michael Owen may once have been world class, or at least close
to that, but he is miles away at the moment and has deservedly been overlooked.
Increasingly, it appears that Rooney apart - some of the
time - England simply do not
boast anyone in the same class as the likes of Spain's Fernando Torres.
That said, the more I see of Peter Crouch, the more I like what
he offers as a back up. He may not be the most mobile player ever seen, but he
has a style that opposition defences find difficult to cope with.
And if he can act as an effective partner for Rooney, who is
arguably England's most important player, then he should be able to make his
mark on the national side, especially now since Capello has decided to give him
his chance from the start against Ukraine.
Let's just hope Capello has no more injuries to contend with before

[QUOTE=02420X3;7749592]Typically, you don't. You have your X3 winched onto a flatbed, cringing the entire time. I can pretty much guarantee you that whomever is providing BMW Roadside Assistance in your area knows nothing about the procedure for forcing your X3 into Neutral.
Got power? Engine cranks but doesn't start? I haven't tried it because I've never been in a condition where my engine won't start, but this is the alleged procedure:
1. Depress brake pedal
2. Press start stop button...engine won't start but will crank
3. Press shifter release button on side of shifter and hold it
4. Move shifter forward one step-hold it there for 2 secs....exactly
5. Release side switch and repeat. N should be displayed in instrument panel...trans unlocks
tried several times doesn't work. The only way for sure is to jack car up crawl under, there is a silver bolt on the side of tranny you screw it upwards, it pushes a lever up and puts tranny in neutral, I have personally tried this and it works. The older x5's had a cable attached witch you could activate in the rear compartment. Was going to build similar device but it takes a lot of effort to push up lever.

Bridesmaids star Rose Byrne was unlucky enough to discover she had a horrible phobia of birds while shooting a scene with a live dove for her new comedy.
The 33-year-old actress shivered on the red carpet with her I Give It A Year co-star Minnie Driver in Leicester Square last night.
She stars opposite Rafe Spall in the British comedy, and said of the scene: "I was petrified. I was slightly unprepared, but I have a fear of birds, I discovered, and the scene unfortunately was hijacked by this fear. It was intense. It was like a weird acting exercise, where I had to focus on my objective while being completely physically overtaken. It was really weird."
Byrne and Driver braved the freezing weather in their thin gowns, with the former admitting she was "running on adrenaline" as they struggled to remain composed for the cameras. The movie also stars Stephen Merchant, Jason Flemyng and Olivia Colman.
Also at the premiere were Strictly Come Dancing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.Reuse content

As with any war, World War 1 pushed the limited of the technology of the period, providing the canvas for new engines with corresponding airframes developed to certain military specifications. Many designs proved pioneering in their nature and solidified both the fighter and the bomber as capable tools of war to be used in conjunction with land and naval forces. Many-an-ace were made thanks to the impressive mounts fielded in a war where it proved just as important to outmatch your opponent through sheer power than skill alone. The list below showcases WW1 aircraft by their reported maximum speed values. Bear in mind that the listed speeds below pertain to a specific production variant rather than to an entire family of aircraft. Additionally, some developmental aircraft appearing during the war are featured in this list despite them having not seen formal service nor combat.

MORE: Awesome Message in Self Love From the Harvard Women's Rugby Team
Make Time For Your Body
"Many of us get so caught up in the business of our lives that we don't spend a lot of time with our bodies," says Emily Sandoz, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of Living With Your Body and Other Things You Hate, who recommends scheduling some time to bond with your bod. Instead of taking a five-minute shower, spend time massaging and washing every inch of yourself during a bubble bath. Make it a regular habit, and you'll start to view your relationship with body as something sacred, says Sandoz.
Buy Clothes That Make You Look Amazing
Instead of throwing on the same raggedy bra that you've had for years, splurge on a new piece of lingerie. This goes for any piece of clothing or accessory, but the key is to dress in a way that complements your body, says Sandoz. Don't think of your clothes as a way to hide your imperfections—but as a way to celebrate your body and play up its best features.
MORE: Shop Your Shape
Clear Out the Trash Talk
You know those mean comments you always make about your body? Write them down on paper—them throw them away, suggests Sandoz. Research published in Psychological Science shows that recording negative thoughts and tossing them in the trash can actually help you eliminate them.
Say "Thank You" To Your Body
No one has a perfect body—but we guarantee that your body does amazing things every day. Practice your favorite activity—whether it's running, yoga, or rock climbing—to remind yourself of the incredible things your body can do, says Robyn Silverman, body-image expert and author of Good Girls Don't Get Fat: How Weight Obsession is Messing our Girls and How We Can Help Them Thrive Despite It. When you look at your body from this perspective, you see its true value.

Public Service and Non-Profit Internship Fund
Internships and externships are critical components of the educational experience. When students have opportunities to put into practice academic learning from their classroom experiences, they gain valuable insights and are better prepared for their post-college endeavors. While some internship and externship experiences offer living stipends or other financial support, many such experiences in the public service and non-profit arenas do not. In efforts to expose our brightest student minds to those public services that benefit the general well-being of our communities, we seek financial resources to support students through these endeavors. As a public institution, with a charter to serve the greater good of society, removing the financial barriers to participating in these internships is in the true Jeffersonian spirit.
Your generous gift will support internships in specific public service or non-profit sectors or be used generally to support students successfully attaining internships in these areas. Students who seek out and receive a public service or nonprofit internship can apply for a $3,000 stipend through University Career Services intended to cover personal expenses and partial recouping of income normally earned through a summer job. The goal is to expand this program to include more students and to increase the amount of the stipend to at least $6,500. This amount ensures that students are provided with adequate living expenses along with a stipend in lieu of summer employment.

Internship Recipient Student Testimonials
"During the course of my internship, I have gained the invaluable knowledge of how to be a better citizen, how to get involved with what is going on in the country, and how to raise my voice for issues I am passionate about. The experience has opened my eyes to my own interests in public health, epidemiology, and public policy. As a Biology and Psychology major applying to law school, this internship has confirmed my belief that there is a connection between science, health, and law, and that I want to be at the crossroads."
-Komal Karnik, CLAS 2011
"The internship definitely influenced my career and education goals. Now I believe after doing so much work with black people in South America I really want to study the intersections of race and sexuality. . . . I made my dent in the social movement for afro-descendents in Argentina and I'm really proud and happy that I stayed for as long as I did."
-Marcus Hall, CLAS 2012
"My experience at Amnesty International has shown me that I definitely want to continue working in public service and specifically in the field of human rights monitoring. This internship also affirmed my interest in education, and I want to incorporate this interest into a career in human rights work."
-Anne Stotler, CLAS 2011
"I am so grateful for the ability to have worked in this internship. This process has taught me much about the world of public safety policy, and has provided an invaluable look into a possible career path. . . . Following my graduation from UVA, I sincerely hope to be engaged in this process of continuous personal growth and opportunity to do good for my community. I urge all of my peers to consider working in public policy, and to explore just how much of a difference each and every one of us can make."
-Evan Davis, CLAS 2012
"Although I have completed my internship, its influence on my life is far from over. Participating in many different avenues of environmental public service this summer, such as education, management, and planning has given me a clearer direction for my future. I want to continue to be involved in environmental issues, become more educated about methods to prevent pollution, and work with communities to solve environmental problems. . . .This internship has taught me about myself and about how I want to pursue public service in the future."
-Haley Pack, CLAS 2011


text: Hi all, i just purchased my grandmothers '96 SLS, the original owner of the car had a Clarion CDC 1205 12 disc CD changer with a Claroin FMC100 CD changer controller installed. The CD changer has never worked while my grandmother owned the car, and ive tracked it down to a missing optical fiber digital cable, it isnt plugged into the CD changer end, and i cannot locate it anywhere in the trunk. The instructions for the unit say that this cable should run from the 'modulator' to the CD changer. My question is: where could they have mounted the modulator?? Ive looked under the passenger side dash but theres not enough room there, ive looked between the back seat and the trunk and dont think its there, i have a hunch that its between the center console because the controler routes out of the side of it, could it be under the back seat? where would be the most likely place this unit would have been mounted? Thanks for any advice!!

AWS Spot Instance
AWS Spot Instance is a purchasing option that allows a customer to purchase unused Amazon EC2 computer capacity at a highly-reduced rate.
Spot Instances provide Amazon with a flexible way to sell extra capacity. The instances are acquired through a bidding process in which the customer specifies a price per hour he is willing to pay.
Download Our Developers' Guide to AWS
AWS is not only making it easier to manage and analyze data, but did you know that AWS also offers a library of free datasets? That's not all. Uncover two more things you may not know.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
When an EC2 instance becomes available at that price, the customer's instance will run. The instance will be cut off when the Spot price increases and exceeds the customer's bid. As long as the customer doesn't cancel his bid, the instance will be reactivated when the price falls again. Instances may also be terminated when the customer's bid price equals the market price. This can happen when demand for capacity rises or when supply fluctuates.
According to Amazon, Spot Instance prices are typically more than 75% lower than On Demand prices. A common use for AWS spot instances is high-performance computing (HPC), in which firms that are performing financial or scientific analysis spin up hundreds or thousands of machines for a short time. Spot Instances are not well-suited for real-time or mission-critical services such as Web applications.

When the totally redesigned 2013 Acura RDX goes on sale later this spring, it will have a starting price of $34,320, the automaker said today. The price excludes a destination fee of $885.
That's somewhat pricier than the outgoing RDX, which started at $32,895, but the latest-generation RDX has a substantial increase in features, better fuel efficiency and more performance.
The 2013 RDX comes with a more fuel-efficient and powerful V-6 engine that produces 273 horsepower (33 hp more than the outgoing 2012 model's four-cylinder motor) and should achieve an estimated 20/28/23 mpg city/highway/combined or 19/27/22 mpg when equipped with all-wheel drive. The boost in fuel efficiency is aided by a new adaptive electric power-steering system that replaces the old model's hydraulic system.
There is a long list of standard features:
They include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power moonroof, backup camera, 360-watt stereo, passive keyless entry, push-button start and a noise-canceling system. If you compare it with the outgoing RDX, you actually lose some standard features, such as automatic climate control and high-intensity-discharge headlights. Also standard are 18-inch alloy wheels and a more sophisticated rear suspension damping system, comparable to the Honda CR-V (on which the RDX is based).
All-wheel drive adds $1,400.
The new model is longer and wider than the RDX it replaces, and it compares favorably with its competition. The 2012 Lexus RX 350 starts at $39,075 and doesn't include features like a backup camera. The 2013 BMW X3 starts at $37,995, but with its new fuel-efficient four-cylinder motor and standard power liftgate, it is fairly competitive in terms of pricing. The 2012 Cadillac SRX starts at $35,485 and isn't nearly as fuel efficient as the RDX, nor, arguably, is it as well-equipped. The 2012 Audi Q5 starts at $35,600 and is comparably equipped to the RDX. None of the Acura's competition is as fuel efficient as the RDX, however.

Ixia Upgrades Broadband Testing Tools
Calabasas-based Ixia (www.ixiacom.com) has upgraded its IxAccess broadband test suite. According to the company the new enhancements add performance, stress and negative tests for broadband access aggregation devices. This eliminates the need for a large number of end user devices such as DSL modems for testing network equipment.

Lula McGhee of Granville County said her good luck at winning half of Wednesday's $386,892 Cash 5 jackpot could not have come at a better time.
A retired CNA from Oxford, McGhee had one of two tickets that matched all five numbers in the drawing and she claimed her half, $193,446, on Friday. She used her own lucky numbers on a ticket purchased at the Pic N Save on Hillsboro Street in Oxford.
McGhee said the win was "a mighty blessing." She said her after-tax winnings, $133,965, will allow her to pay off the car loan on her 2013 Nissan and pay off her bills. But the best part, she said, is she can put on a better birthday party for her husband of 54 years as they celebrate with their three children, seven grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
"I'm very happy," McGhee said Friday, "because my husband will be celebrating his 80th birthday. I was wondering where I was going to get the money for the party. This will be a blessing to help us set it up the way we would like to."
The other half of Wednesday's jackpot went to Raylanda McIntyre of Havelock, who also claimed her prize on Friday. She said she used lucky numbers suggested by her fiancé to buy a ticket at the Kangaroo Express on Main Street in Havelock.

You are currently browsing the daily archive for 18 May 2012.
This is the final post in the series about remembering Dharma Lists. Links to the others can be found on this page.
We have looked at how to memorise lists, and you now know that there is a little up front effort required. But hopefully you can see the many benefits of putting in this effort.
On a practical note, I would suggest that you make a written list of the images you have devised to remember your lists. It's good to refer back to your own original list. Also, try to make your images vivid, using all your senses. You may have noticed that in my images I have used 'shiny' black shoes, 'delicious smelling' buns, and soil smells as well as sounds (such as the monk mumbling the Pratimoksha Vows). The more vivid the images you use, the more easily they will embed themselves in our memory.
In order to keep these lists fresh in your memory for the rest of your life, you will need to review these lists from time to time.
Lets say you learn a list on day one. You should review it on day 2 – by review I mean you should try to recall the list mentally and then check against your written list, just to make sure you are getting it absolutely right, and you're not forgetting anything. Following this, you should review it on day 4. Then on day 7. Then on day 14. Then on day 30. After that, you should aim to review the list on a monthly basis. Making appointments in a diary is a good way to keep track of your Dharma List reviews.
Geshe Kelsang gives guidance in Joyful Path of Good Fortune when he is talking about the fault of being like a leaky pot. He says:
There are two methods we can use to improve our ability to remember Dharma. The first is to make an effort to recall what we have heard or read soon after a discourse has finished or after we have finished reading a chapter of a Dharma book. We can do this several times at intervals… The second method is to discuss Dharma with our Dharma friends, asking them questions and explaining what we have understood. This is an excellent way to increase our understanding, remove doubts, and place Dharma firmly within our minds.
With this advice in our hearts, we should strive to use this memory technique to remember Dharma Lists and keep them firmly within our minds.
Thanks for reading these posts, and good luck memorising Dharma Lists!
Love Vide x
The purpose of this meditation is to make a very firm decision to behave in virtuous ways because of our understanding of the law of karma, and then to meditate on this wish in light of equalising self and others.
I began the meditation by dissolving my Guru into my heart and letting his stability and tranquillity mix completely with my mind. I focused on the expansive feeling of emptiness and bliss, and stayed with this for a while until it was time to move on to my main meditation.
I then started by thinking about the law of karma. Every single scientific law has, as a fundamental cornerstone, the law of cause and effect. Even quantum uncertainty does not violate it, because although quantum events are unpredictable, they are not causeless. In this way, it is profoundly unscientific to say that our experiences are causeless or 'just happen'. All our experiences have causes – this must be a scientific truth. To say otherwise is to abandon the scientific principle that is the bedrock of all rational enquiry.
What causes our experience? If we have good fortune or bad fortune, what is the cause?
Buddha said that our actions create our experiences. Every action we perform leaves a mark on our mind, and in the future this mark will form the basis for an experience. If our action was harmful, we will experience harm. If our action was helpful, we will experience help in future. Although science has yet to identify karma by direct experiment, there is overwhelming empirical evidence for its existence. Lack of direct evidence is no bar to belief: most physicists firmly believe in dark matter, although none has been found.
I was listening to the radio yesterday where a man wrongly convicted of murder was giving an interview. He said he knew when he met another man who was wrongly accused of murder, he knew instantly that he was innocent. The interviewer asking him how he knew. He said that he had been locked up with murderers when he was in prison fighting for his own release. He said that you can see in a person's eyes that they have murdered. There is a clarity in the eyes of the innocent that is absent in the eyes of a murderer.
I thought about this in meditation. Every action leaves a mark, either overt of subtle. Every action I perform marks me.
What marks do I want to bear? I want to be a Buddha! I want to have a pure mind, a stainlessly pure mind completely mixed with virtue. How can I get that? I need to wash away my marks of non-virtue and perform only virtuous actions to leave marks of purity and goodness.
On the basis of the law of karma, I decided that I need to perform only virtuous actions and purify my negativities. I imagined taking and giving all the time. I imagined making constant offerings. I will offer my good conditions, my food and drink, my practice, my blog – everything.
I was filled with a feeling of giving, of offering and of virtue. This is the path. I focused on this feeling of giving and being on the path of virtue for the rest of the meditation.
After a while I decided to look at what this means in light of equalising self and others. I wondered: what is the karmic result of equalising self and others? The answer is that others will love me as much as they love themselves. Wow! How wonderful that would be! Imagine a world where everyone you meet instantly likes you and is caring towards you. That is the karmic result of equalising self and others. With this in mind I was even more enthusiastic to practice the path of virtue, and I returned to my meditation object, staying with it and mixing my mind with it for the rest of the meditation.
May all living beings understand the marks they bear, and through practising the stages of the path may they purify their negative karma and accumulate the positive karma necessary to become pure enlightened beings for the benefit of all.
Practice in the Meditation Break
I have identified my actions for today. I will offer all my good conditions constantly to the three jewels, and practice only virtue with a positive mind.

Lesson 1: Opinion
Lesson Plan
Animal Touch
- Learning Goal
- Form an opinion.
- Duration
- Approximately 50 minutes
- Necessary Materials
- Provided: Independent Practice Worksheet
Not Provided: Animal Touch by Kirsten Hall
Teacher Modeling
will introduce the definition of an opinion by explaining that an opinion is how you feel or think about something or what you like. An opinion is something that people can have different ideas about. I will give examples of opinions (I like broccoli. I think skunks are cute. I feel scared in the dark.) and ask the students to agree or disagree with my opinions. I will explain that as we read Animal Touch by Kirsten Hall, we are going to form opinions about what we are reading. I will think aloud using the photo on page 6 about the raccoon's appearance (cute, scary). I will use the sentence starter "I think…" to express my opinion. I will discuss that this is an opinion because not everyone has to agree with me. People can have different ideas about this, so it is an opinion. I will use the sentence starter "I like…" (or "I don't like…") to express my opinion about the frog's red eyes (page. 7). I will repeat this with the sentence starter "I feel…" to express my opinion about the spider on page 8.
TIP: Remind students that it is okay to respectfully disagree with other people's opinions. You may want to model appropriate language for this.
Think Check
Ask: "How did I form an opinion about the spider in the book?" Students should respond that you thought about how you feel or what you think about spiders.
Guided Practice
will use the sentence starters, "I think…," "I feel…" or "I like…" to express opinions about the animals in the rest of the book, stopping at page 19.
Independent Practice
will use the sentence starter "I think…" to form an opinion about the orangutan on page 20. (Independent Practice Worksheet is provided.)
TIP: For struggling students, you may want to include a word bank of opinion words (silly, funny, interesting, etc.).
Build Student Vocabulary layer
|Tier 2 Word: layer
|Contextualize the word as it is used in the story
|A penguin's body has a thick layer of blubber that helps keep it warm.
|Explain the meaning student-friendly definition)
|A layer is a level of thickness. Something with multiple layers is thicker than it would be without those layers. Penguins have a layer of fat under their skin. That means that they have an extra level of thickness under their skin to keep them warm.
|Students repeat the word
|Say the word layer with me: layer.
|Teacher gives examples of the word in other contexts
|A cake may have one layer of cake on the bottom, then a layer of chocolate filling on top of that, and a layer of cake on top of the filling. On top, there is a layer of icing. When you dress to go outside in the winter, you put on layers of clothing: first underwear, then a shirt, then a sweater, and finally a coat.
|Students provide examples
|Think about your bed. How many layers of sheets and covers are on your bed? Start by saying, "The layers on my bed are _____________."
|Students repeat the word again.
|What word are we talking about? layer
|Additional Vocabulary Words
|movements, nearby
Build Student Background Knowledge
Pause at page 12 in Animal Touch. Explain that several different animals have tentacles, including the octopus, jellyfish, squid, and snails. Show pictures of some of these animals to help students visualize tentacles.

By Craig Campbell, News Staff

Three historic downtown Ancaster properties — including one designated heritage building — along a 50-metre stretch of Wilson Street East are being sold by court order.

Offers are being accepted for 398-406 Wilson St. E. until noon on June 2 by Chase Realty broker Jay Brohman, and are scheduled to be considered by the Superior Court of Ontario on June 3. The listed asking price for the block of three properties is $2.59 million. It is anticipated the properties will be sold on June 3 if there is an offer acceptable to the court. Until then, the future of the historic stretch of downtown Ancaster is unclear.

The 164-year-old Marr House at 398 Wilson St. E. is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. The four facades of the building, exposed stonework, roof and chimneys, five-pane toplight over the front door and an east façade window must all be preserved.

Staff at Hanley's Eyewear, the current tenant of 398 Wilson St. E., said the business expects to remain in its current location.

But it isn't clear what a new owner might do with the block of historic properties, or if existing leases will continue.

Any alterations to 398 Wilson St. E. would require a heritage permit from the City of Hamilton.

Marr House, and two other buildings of historical interest, were ordered sold by the Superior Court of Ontario on Nov. 19, 2013. The proceeds of the sale are to be paid to Canada Trust to pay off more than $980,000 owing on a mortgage on the properties.

According to court documents, former owner Henry Krukowski of Ancaster defaulted on the mortgage on June 16, 2013. Krukowski could not be reached for comment. Ross McLeod, the lawyer acting for Canada Trust, said he could not comment on the matter.

Buildings at 402 and 406 Wilson St. E. – which are also both part of the sale ordered by the court – are included in the city's Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest but are not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Brown Dog Coffee Shop was expected to move into 402 Wilson St. E. The coffee shop's website states the business will be "opening soon" in downtown Ancaster.

Erin Davis of Ancaster Discovery Gardens, formerly located at 406 Wilson St. E., said she knew in advance the garden that grows food for the Ancaster food bank would have to relocate. The garden is now being set up at 1631 Wilson St. E.

"We secured the new location by April," Davis said. "It's an exciting time for us again, and we're hoping to get more groups involved in growing these gardens for the less privileged."

Davis said the volunteer organization was only promised the space at 406 Wilson St. E. for a year, and ended up using it for the past two years. She said the Ancaster Discover Gardens' new home is in a great location across from the Ancaster farmers market.

The reasons for designation of 398 Wilson note the building may have been built earlier than its estimated construction date of 1850, and the use of stone relates the building to several other important Wilson Street buildings.

"For these reasons, the building is of great importance to the Wilson Street streetscape," the reasons for designation state.

The City of Hamilton's historical inventory also includes 400 Wilson St. E., but there is no longer a building at that address.

Larry Friday, the city's director of taxation said 398 Wilson is a commercial property owing $43,022.11 in municipal taxes and was registered this year with a tax lien. Friday said 400-402 Wilson is a commercial property owing $64,071.97 in municipal taxes and also registered this year with a tax lien. 406 Wilson is a residential property, said Friday, so he can't release any tax arrears information.

Construction liens were placed on 406 Wilson St. E. in 2013, for $21,409, and in 2014 for $53,809.45. The most recent lien, by Chamberlain Architect Services Limited of Burlington, is a claim for services or materials supplied.

Abby 4-21
Posted in the Chicago Forum
"reign in blood"
Since: May 09
#1 Apr 21, 2014
DEAR ABBY: My 83-year-old mother has decided she wants to die. She says she's miserable, but I think she's causing her own misery. She has medications to address her physical ailments -- none of which are critical. My siblings live in other states. Mom feels it's a "burden" for them to travel to see her, and she refuses to travel.
Mom is in assisted living and is now refusing to bathe, trying not to eat, and doesn't want to talk to anyone or have visitors. She's obviously depressed, but refuses counseling. If she continues being uncooperative, I'm afraid she'll have to go to a nursing home where they might let her starve herself to death.
One sister says I should force Mom to do fun things, but I don't know what she wants. We used to go out to eat, but she no longer wants to do that. I have tried to honor Mom's wishes, but I'm at a loss about what to do for her. Do you have any suggestions?-- ALMOST AT WITS' END
DEAR ALMOST: I have one. You and your siblings should have your mother evaluated by a geriatrician immediately. It's apparent that she is depressed, but the question is whether she also has something physically wrong with her that is affecting her mental state. Then let the doctor be your guide.
DEAR ABBY: I dated my ex for six years, but we broke up recently. The problem is, we signed a lease on our apartment that won't be up until next year. He still lives here, and I don't have the heart to kick him out. Financially, our living together makes sense, and I'd rather live with him than with a stranger.
Abby, this living arrangement has made it tough to get over him. Our breakup was amicable -- somewhat -- and we remain civil to each other. I have no desire to get back together with him. I just find it hard because I'm not sure how to survive this weird situation I'm in. Is it a good idea to keep living together?-- REMAINING CIVIL IN CANADA
DEAR REMAINING CIVIL: It depends upon how high your tolerance is for pain. If seeing your ex with others hurts to the extent that you shed tears on your pillow, or obsess about who he's with and where he's going, then it's not a good idea. However, if the situation can't be changed, then it's important that you fill your time with activities and opportunities that allow you to meet new people and make new friends.
DEAR ABBY: My new husband's family informed him they were coming to visit us for seven to 10 days. This was eight relatives, and I was not asked whether this was convenient or not. They were so noisy that our neighbors finally asked, "When are they leaving?"
How can I prevent this from happening again in the future without offending anyone? My husband said after they had left, "You don't handle chaos and confusion well, do you?" -- NEEDS TO BE CONSULTED IN GEORGIA
DEAR NEEDS TO BE CONSULTED: Revisit the question your husband asked you. And when you do, tell him the answer is not only do you not handle chaos, confusion and eight surprise houseguests well, neither do your neighbors. Then set some boundaries for the next time they say they are coming. His first response should always be, "I'll check with my wife to see if it's convenient."

I think time wouls be a factor. As well as whether I would be getting my own place or moving in with a room mate. I could probably deal with 1 or 2 months of paying rent at 2 places, but there is no way I could decide to pay double rent for, say , 9 months. Plus have to possibly pay all the utilities myselg in my new place. For me, the financial aspect would probably make me decide to make the best of living with her till the lease is up.

LW1- definitely call her doctor to voice your concerns, then take her to the next doctor appointment. Try to visit more often or take her on day trips.
Ultimately, though, you have to respect that she has a right to her feelings and you can't change them. At this point, as long as she is not a danger to others, you cannot force her to act the way you think she should.
LW2- the court system has laws that govern the division of property when you are married, but if you choose not to exercise your right to marry, then you are SOL. If both of your names are on the lease, then you are both responsible for paying the rent and you can't kick him out.
If it is just in your name, the grow the F up and cut the strings.

L1: Abby's right -- get a hold of a geriatric doctor immediately.
L2: That sux. I could probably deal with it for 6 months if I had to -- only if I had to, though. Keep yourself busy -- join stuff or take a few classes.
L3: Well, it's time to sit down with your hubby and have a long talk. Epic fail on his part not checking with you if it's okay and giving you background on how his family visits usually go and for not being your partner in this while he obviously saw you had issues that weekend.

LW1: You cant make someone go to the doctor, Abby. If she doesnt want to eat, shower, take her medications, or go even out to dinner, good luck with that.
Not everyone wants to live as long as possible with a continuing decline to their quality of life that accompanies that. Ask your mom if there is anything you can do for her and since encouragement hasnt worked, respect her wishes. Just be there for her.
LW2: If his name is on the lease too, you cant kick him out. What does he want to do? Assuming he is willing to work with you, the two of you have 3 options. Option A, live by yourself, if you can afford it. Option B he moves out and you find someone new to live with. Option C, he lives with you until the lease expires. It shouldnt take writing an advice columnist for you to figure out that you should pick the least painful option.
LW3: Talk to your husband about it, and if anything is to be said, let him handle it.

1. Yes, medical and psych exams. Sadly they reach a point where they are done and don't want to prolong life which is also expensive.
2. Talk to property manager about lease and see if it can be amended. Do you have family nearby you can stay with even if just on weekends? And as To j said get involved in activities that will interest you and keep you busy.
3. Find local hotels for them. Or for yourself next time they visit. If there is anything worse than annoying relatives it's annoying in laws.

If someone is suicidal you can. A doctor could also make her feel better for the time she has and not necessarily lengthen her life.
It's when someone is a danger to themselves or others you can step in.

It's called Guardianship and generally the person needs to be disabled or incapacitated.
She doesn't sound like she is either of these things. She says she doesn't want to live anymore because she is so miserable. That doesn't mean she is disabled or incapacitated.

LW1: Try taking her out for walks in the park or botanic garden <mimishrug> but if she's made up her mind, I'm not sure that a little nature is going to help. Consult the doctor and see where that goes.
My grandma made up her mind that she was done at around this age. She had some pain that had become unbearable. We got her to a good hospice and supported her decision.
LW2: Why don't you move out and let him deal with a new roommate?
Or just learn to live with the discomfort. I'd spend as little time there as possible.
LW3: Talk to your husband about this, fercryingoutloud!

Absent Guardianship, which generally requires a disability or incapacitation, and a court order appointing you as such, you can't make someone take their meds to make them feel better, force them to see a doctor, or to force them to live longer when they don't want to.

When I hear 'landlord', I think 'dude who owns he place. Dude eho I send my money to'. I've never live in a place like that. Every place was an apartment complex owned by a company and managed by employees of that company. No one on one relationship with the tenants. Unless there are no vacancies and a waiting list of applicants, the managemebt company does not care about your personal problems. They want the rental agreement paid in full.

By Mike Verespej SOURCE: Plastics News
02/14/2012 — Orlando, FL — Unable to obtain additional financing from its equity investors, 4-year-old Tech-Wood North America — which was attempting to gain a foothold in the siding market with a product made from liquefied polypropylene and oriented long-strand pinewood fibers – is in the process of shutting down.
Former president and CEO Peter Kotiadis, who had high hopes that the company's Tech-Plank siding would become the next vinyl, has already been hired as director of product development for cellular PVC and composite decking manufacturer Fiberon LLC.
"He's already helped us with our processes," said Bill Ross, vice president of sales for theCharlotte, N.C., company, in an interview at the International Builders Show, held Feb. 8-11 inOrlando.
Kotiadis said the decision to shutter Tech-Wood was made in December. He said Tech-Wood is in the process of shutting down, and will file for bankruptcy soon.
Tech-Wood had invested more than $10 million into the Wood 2.0 technology that it was using to make its siding. Just one year ago, it had begun manufacturing the siding at the company's plant in Greenwood, S.C., which closed in January. Kotiadis had also unveiled plans to make fencing and window sashes and frames from the same technology, and last year began cutting the tooling to make those sashes and frames.
Tech-Wood had hoped to make headway in the siding market because its polymer-enhanced products, according to Kotiadis, were twice as strong as fiber cement and 35 percent lighter. They also were stronger and stiffer and had a higher thermal rating than many wood windows, he said. Its products were made by encapsulating resin-free, bone-dry oriented long-strand pine-wood fibers with liquefied polypropylene through a continuous extrusion process, with fibers making up roughly 75 percent of the product, and PP the rest.
Kotiadis — a former Royal Group Inc. executive — had also banked on the product's color versatility as a marketing advantage because it was possible to make Wood 2.0 products in hundreds of colors at no premium cost compared with vinyl, and at one-third to one-half the price of competing fiber cement products.
Tech-Wood North America had held exclusive North American rights to the Wood 2.0 technology through a license from Tech-Wood International Ltd. of Birmingham, England. Tech-Wood North America was a four-year-old independent company with financial backing from a U.S.-owned and -controlled investor group that has no connection with Tech-Wood International BV of Rotterdam, Netherlands, which filed for bankruptcy a year ago, Kotiadis said.
The rights to the technology revert to Tech-Wood International Ltd.
"We have created a product without any premium or additional cost that has the high-end look of wood and yet installs like vinyl siding. It has greater strength and mass than fiber cement siding — but without the maintenance and installation issues," said Kotiadis in an interview withPlastics News two years ago. And Kotiadis had plans to someday have a complete Wood 2.0 siding system — including corners, soffits, J-channels and fascia boards. "I believe that someday I can build an entire house out of Tech-Wood and, other than pure wood, I don't think you can do that with any other material."

Archbishop of Canterbury steps into U.N. gays row
By Robert Evans
GENEVA (Reuters) - Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual head of the global Anglican communion, stepped on Tuesday into a row which is flaring at the U.N. Human Rights Council over the persecution of gays and lesbians.
Williams, who has faced strong opposition from parts of his own church especially in Africa for his stance on gays, did not directly refer to the current controversy at the Council, according to the text of a speech prepared for delivery at the Geneva-based World Council of Churches (WCC).
However, he said laws against sexual minorities were equivalent to racism, and warned that legal regulation of consensual sexual conduct "can be both unworkable and open to appalling abuse - intimidation and blackmail."
A panel of the U.N. rights body will consider action in Geneva on Wednesday aimed at halting persecution of gays and lesbians around the world, despite fierce condemnation from Muslim and some African countries.
A report prepared for the gathering by U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says homosexuals and bisexuals face execution in at least five countries and 76 nations had laws criminalizing gay sex.
They also accounted disproportionately for torture cases in jails around the globe, said the report which was mandated by a council resolution backed by Western and a range of developing states that was passed narrowly last June.
But in a statement in advance of the panel, Pakistan said the 57-nation Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) opposed the convening of the panel and would not accept any recommendations that it might issue.
The Pakistani statement, in a letter to the president of the council, said "abnormal sexual behavior" was an outcome of personal behavior and preferences "having nothing to do with fundamental human rights." Continued...
