Lindquist, Marissa, Davis, Beau, De Re, Lisa, Holmes, Emma, Hyun, Amanda, Langton, Stewart, Ruger, Linda, & Taylor, Jeremy (2010) Transitions. [Exhibition/Event]
Transitions represents a selection of works presented by 3rd year QUT design students undertaken as part of their coursework entitled "Environments in Transitions". The work focuses upon the migration of ideas and aesthetics from East to West, with particular consideration for the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, Wabi-Sabi themes and decorative motifs upon European design during the turn of the 19th century. The works exhibited included design artifacts of various themes, and associated print work which informed the design process. A small exhibition publication accompanied the exhibition and talk.

Construction employment declines by 16,000 in December; industry's unemployment rate hits 20.7 percent
January 10, 2011
Employment in construction declined by 16,000 during the month of December 2010 as the industry's unemployment rate hit 20.7 percent, according to analysis of federal employment figures released Jan. 10 by the Associated General Contractors of America. Even as the industry continues to suffer from weak private sector demand, the benefits of the temporary stimulus program appear to be winding down, association officials noted.
"At this point, it doesn't look like there's anything to replace the temporary help that the stimulus has been providing for the construction industry," said Ken Simonson, chief economist, AGC. "Today's figures offer yet another reminder that the construction industry remains, and is likely to remain, the hardest-hit industry in the economy," he said in a Jan. 7 AGC of America report.

Portland won 8-6 scoring three in the bottom of the ninth
Xavier Nady pounded a three run homer with no outs in the bottom of the ninth to power the Beavers to victory. It was the only hit of the day for Nady but gave him homers in consecutive nights and five homers in his last six. He has now knocked in 14 runs in his past six games and is 12-for-27 over the streak. It is no surprise that he has scored a run in each of the past six games.
Australian Olympic hero Chris Oxspring wasn't so good back in America. Oxspring lasted just three innings and gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks. He was hit hard in every inning and the capper was a two run homer off him. Oxspring had allowed one run in his previous 19.1 innings of work over three starts.
Brad Baker worked two innings for the first time since July 25 and just the fourth time all year between two leagues on Friday. Baker struck out three in his two innings of work and did not allow a hit. He has gone 11 straight games without allowing an earned run and has whiffed 19 batters in his last ten games. He got the win when Portland came back to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
Jake Gautreau hit his third homer in four games and has a four game RBI streak. He did, however, ground into his second double play in three games. Eight of his nine homers on the season have come in his past 23 games.
Yamid Haad is hitting .500 over his last eight games, going 16-for-32. He was 3-for-4 with a double on Friday but did not score a run or knock in one. Despite the hitting streak, he has just one RBI over that time frame. He has raised his average from .286 to .310.
Mobile lost 3-1
Clay Hensley took his tenth loss of the season, going five innings and allowing three runs on six hits. He also walked four, the third time this season he has walked that many in a game. It was the first time in seven starts that Hensley did not make it through the sixth inning. Hensley also committed an error.
Mobile did not have a hit until Ben Johnson's two-out single in the seventh. In the eighth, Josh Barfield led off with a double and Greg Sain followed with a walk. Steve Morales' infield ground out advanced the runners to second and third and Jason Clements delivered a sacrifice fly to bring in Barfield and make it 3-1. But pinch hitter Ronnie Merrill struck out to end the inning. Clements is in the midst of his best production of the season. He has six RBI's in his last eight games to give him 21 on the season. Clements was the only BayBear in the starting lineup not to strike out.
Mobile got a lead-off single from Kennard Jones in the ninth but Jesse Roman hit into a double play and Ben Johnson stuck out to end the game. Johnson, coincidentally, extended his hitting streak to seven games with his single. He has had one hit per game over the streak, going 7-for-26 and raising his average from .245 to .247.
Lake Elsinore lost 1-0
Jared Wells was the hard luck loser on Friday. Wells lasted 6.1 innings and allowed one run on six hits and three walks. He has given up one run over his last two outings, spanning 13.1 innings, and three runs over his last 19.1 innings of work. Wells has walked three or more in a game in four of his last seven games after not walking that many in a game all season.
Grant Gregg came on two get the last two outs in the seventh, inheriting one runner. Gregg, a left-hander, has been exceptional against his own, as lefties are hitting just over .200 against him. Righties, meanwhile, are hitting close to .300. Perhaps ironically, the reliever is at his worst when runners are in scoring position. Everyone is hitting .395 off him when that is the case.
Peeter Ramos extended his hitting streak to seven games with a 1-for-4 night. Ramos had a stretch of five straight multi-hit games snapped. Despite only having 15 RBI's in
60 games for the Storm, Ramos is batting .315 with runners in scoring position.
Fort Wayne won 13-2
Travis Chick continues to smash the competition. Chick won his fourth game in a row and is 5-0 since joining Fort Wayne. He went six innings and gave up one run on four hits. For the first time this year he did not walk a batter. He did, however, allow his fourth homer of the year. Out of 18 outs recorded, Chick struck out ten. It was the third time in five games that he has whiffed ten or more. Over his last 32.1 innings, Chick has given up three earned runs, an ERA of 0.84 over that stretch.
Christopher Kolkhorst hit is first professional homer on Friday. Kolkhorst continued his hot hand, going 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to six games. Kolkhorst drove in three runs, the same amount he had in his past 23 games. He scored four runs and has crossed the plate eight times in the past four games. He also doubled and was hit by two pitches. It was the second time this year that he has been hit with two pitches in one game.
Brian Wahlbrink went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI's and two runs scored. He has six multi-hit games in his last nine games. He has six RBI's in his last six games and has stolen three bases in his last three games. Wahlbrink is hitting .317 in 76 at bats from the number two hole in the lineup.

Top 30 Favorite Movie Characters #14
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be an actor. I did a lot of musical theater, and it was mainly inspired by my obsession with Little Shop of Horrors. I often would sing the songs to myself, dreaming of one day playing Seymour on Broadway. Life had other plans in store for me, but Seymour remains a beloved character. (And I still know all the songs by heart!)

Pirates Call Up Kris Johnson, Kyle Farnsworth, and Travis Snider
Kris Johnson will start today against the Cardinals. (Photo Credit: David Hague)
The Pittsburgh Pirates have called up three players today with rosters expanding beyond 25-men. Kris Johnson has been recalled from Indianapolis, and will make the start in today's game against the Cardinals. Travis Snider was activated from his rehab assignment. The Pirates also purchased the contract of relief pitcher Kyle Farnsworth.
The Pirates had an open spot on the 40-man roster, so they don't need to make a corresponding move for Farnsworth. He's the only surprise out of the three players who were called up. He gave up three runs on seven hits in 6.2 innings in his brief time with Indianapolis, along with a 3:4 K/BB ratio. Farnsworth spent time in the majors this year with the Rays, putting up a ...

text: For a side note, I just watched PUSH over the weekend and even though I didn't like the movie, it was the first real time that Belle stood out to me in a film. Perhaps it's the pressure from you fans who love her so much that made me pay better attention, but it could have also had something to do with the fact that she was given lines and more action to accomplish than just being the pretty girl in the scene. But then again, sometimes just being pretty is enough. Moral of the story: Camilla Belle doesn't have a boyfriend right now! Let the stalking begin!!

The problems with our healthcare system are well known and well documented -- and endlessly debated. What's not so apparent is that many of them arise because our healthcare system isn't, in fact, a system.
Rising costs, limited access, high error rates, lack of coverage, poor response to chronic disease and the lengthy development cycle for new medicines--most of these could be improved if we could link diagnosis to drug discovery to healthcare providers to insurers to employers to patients and communities. Today, these components, processes and participants that comprise the vast healthcare system aren't connected. Duplication and handoffs are rampant. Deep wells of lifesaving information are inaccessible.
A smarter healthcare system starts with better connections, better data, and faster and more detailed analysis. It means integrating our data and centering it on the patient, so each person "owns" his or her information and has access to a networked team of collaborative care. It means moving away from paper records, in order to reduce medical errors and improve efficiencies. And it means applying advanced analytics to vast amounts of data, to improve outcomes.
Smarter healthcare is instrumented, so our health systems can automatically capture accurate, real-time information. IBM's joint initiative with Google HealthTM and the Continua Health Alliance enables individuals and families to store and track their health information and stream data from medical devices. Implanet, a French orthopedics manufacturer, is using RFID technology to track surgical implants from manufacture until they're inside patients. And healthcare providers in Denmark are using predictive health systems with advanced telemetry to monitor elderly patients in their homes, sharing data instantly.
Smarter healthcare is interconnected, so doctors, patients and insurers can all share information seamlessly and efficiently. Sainte-Justine, a research hospital in Quebec, is automating the gathering, managing and updating of critical research data, which is often spread across different departments. Then they're applying analytics to speed childhood cancer research and improve patient care--while drastically lowering the cost of data acquisition and enhancing data quality. Servicio Extremeño de Salud, a public healthcare service in Spain, has built a regionally integrated system that lets patients go to many health centers within the region, knowing a doctor there can have the patients' complete, up-to-date records for faster and more accurate treatment.
Smarter healthcare is intelligent, applying advanced analytics to improve research, diagnosis and treatment. Geisinger Health Systems is integrating clinical, financial, operational, claims, genomic and other information into an integrated environment of medical intelligence that helps doctors deliver more personalized care. This enables them to make smarter decisions and deliver higher- quality care, all because they can easily turn information into actionable knowledge. And IBM is helping some of the world's top universities develop a global network of medical data, giving doctors diagnostic resources that were once unimaginable. These repositories currently hold millions of digital images.
Smarter healthcare systems like these hold promise beyond their particular communities, patients and diseases. The smart ideas from one can be replicated across an increasingly efficient, inter- connected and intelligent system. This should result in lower costs, better-quality care and healthier people and communities. In other words, we'll have a true healthcare system, with the focus where it belongs -- on the patient.
Let's build a smarter planet. Join us and see what others are thinking at ibm.com/think

Visual estimation of joint angles at the elbow
Abu-Rajab, R.B. and Marsh, A. and Young, D. and Rymaszewski, L.A. (2010) Visual estimation of joint angles at the elbow. European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, 20 (6). pp. 463-467. ISSN 1633-8065

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of visual estimation of elbow joint angles. A total of 116 observers (93 doctors and 23 physiotherapists) were shown 21 digital images of two arms in predeWned degrees of elbow Xexion on two separate occasions. They estimated the angle of Xexion to the nearest 5°. Only 70.8% of estimates were within +5°, although intra-observer agreement was good among all groups tested (ICC range 0.963- 0.983). Orthopaedic consultants and registrars were equivalent and statistically better at estimating the angles compared to senior house oYcers and physiotherapists (P < 0.001). Compared to the angles of 85 and 90°, all other angles were signiWcantly less likely to be estimated to within +5° (P < 0.001). In conclusion, visual estimation of joint angles at the elbow may not be desirable in cases where accurate serial assessment is required for clinical decision making. The use of a goniometer by an agreed standardized protocol is advised.

Sorry to hear about your son's tooth. A Maryland bridge, or fake tooth with wings, can be bonded to the backsides of his adjacent teeth. This type of restoration is ideal because it stays fixed in the mouth, but excellent home care, including a special way to floss around this tooth, is a must to maintain optimal health and esthetics. Look for an excellent cosmetic dentist to help you. As he is only 10 years old, he will have many developmental changes related to his growth, including facial and dental changes, for 10+ years. Once his growth pattern stabilizes, he will be ready for a more permanent fix like a dental implant. But until then, expect multiple dental visits to keep up with his growth and maintain his dental health.
All the best, Sarah Kong, DDS

RIYADH — Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir on Sunday said that Russia and the Syrian government air force violated a cessation of hostilities in Syria.
He said Riyadh was discussing the issue with international powers. Speaking at a joint news conference with visiting Danish Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen in Riyadh, Jubeir said that there would be a "plan B" if it became clear that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's government and its allies were not serious about the truce.
"I believe that abiding by the truce would be an important indicator of the seriousness to reach a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis that would include setting up a transitional council and the transfer of power from Bashar to this council," Jubeir said. "There is no place for Bashar in Syria."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the High Negotiating Committee (HNC) said that it will stick to the cessation of hostilities despite what they said were 15 violations by Syrian government forces on Saturday and more breaches on Sunday.
"The decision is to remain quiet, not to do anything, and I believe they will stick to the truce," Salim Al-Muslat said.
Muslat said the HNC would complain to the United Nations and countries backing the peace process about Russian air strikes around the city of Aleppo, in an area with no fighters from Daesh or Nusra Front groups, excluded from the truce.
He also said there had been an attack by Hezbollah in the town of Zabadan. Syrian forces had used barrel bombs and rockets on Saturday, he said.
Al-Jubeir accused Russia of targeting Syria's moderate opposition groups. UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura was in contact with the Russians and the Syrian regime on this matter to reach an agreement that would limit or end military operations against the moderate Syrian opposition and focus instead on Daesh (the so called IS) and Al-Nusra, he said. "Things will become clearer in the coming days on whether the regime and Russia are serious or not about the ceasefire," he said.
In comments about meeting with his Danish counterpart Jensen, Al-Jubeir said: "We talked about the importance of the departure of Al-Assad so that we can defeat and eliminate Daesh. We talked about the ceasefire agreement to be applied in Syria, provided that this agreement shall not be violated and be adhered to by all parties." Al-Jubeir reiterated the Kingdom's position that Al-Assad won't be any role in a future government in Syria, saying that it is nonnegotiable. "The only question is whether he goes out in a peaceful way or through a military solution? He also reaffirmed that the Kingdom is ready to send special forces to Syria if the international coalition against Daesh, led by US, decides to send ground troops to the country.
He said that bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Denmark are distinguished and historical, noting that some 100 Danish companies are doing business in the Kingdom, and these include Henen Larson which has drawn the architectural design of the foreign ministry in Riyadh. "This is an indication of the firmness of relations between the two countries." He said trade exchanges between the two countries are balanced with a total of 1.5 billion euros annually. Al-Jubeir also spoke about the talks of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman with the visiting Danish Crown Prince Fredric Henrico Andrea.
On his part, the Danish foreign minister said he discussed with Al-Jubeir important security issues in the region, including the latest developments in Syria, Yemen and Iraq and discussed ways of drying out the sources of funding to all kinds of terrorism. Jensen also highlighted the Kingdom's big role and status in maintaining the region's stability.

Each year, Horizon recognizes the Girls on the Run Coach of the Year with an award at the annual Girls on the Run Summit. Girls nominate their coaches through the submission of short essays, terrific artwork, and even picture collages. We would like to thank Horizon for their support of our amazing volunteer coaches!
Horizon Fitness provides commercial-quality home exercise equipment, including treadmills, elliptical trainers, exercise bikes and functional strength training home gyms designed to deliver comfort, control and convenience. For more information, visit www.horizonfitness.com.
Girls on the Run SoleMates is proud to announce our partnership with Garmin International. Garmin offers innovative products which span a number of interests, including fitness, automotive, aviation, marine, outdoor recreation and wireless applications. Based in Olathe, Kansas, Garmin has been a supporter of the local Girls on the Run council for several years, and became a proud National Sponsor of Girls on the Run SoleMates in 2010. Our partnership provides financial and in-kind support, national marketing and awareness, and the opportunity to partner with an organization committed to community investment.
While the Garmin company has provided local support through sponsorship and the donation of product, Garmin employees have also donated considerable time, treasure and talent to the Girls on the Run of Johnson County council as volunteer coaches, running buddies and SoleMates participants. Rebecca Sommers, Senior Copyright Editor at Garmin, recently wrote about her SoleMates experience: "I can't think of a better way to use my passion to help others than by fundraising for Girls on the Run through SoleMates. I've had the opportunity to experience Girls on the Run from several different roles: coach, volunteer, mother of a participant, board member and fundraiser. All of those roles bring their own set of rewards, but none quite equal the payoff of seeing the Girls on the Run principles lived out by girls in the program."
At Garmin, they walk the walk and talk the talk. The company website states, "We don't just design and sell products, we embrace the lifestyles. From aviation to marine, automotive to fitness, wireless solutions to outdoor recreation, Garmin employees are in the air, on the water, in the woods, behind the wheel and on the run. And we're always thinking of ways to adapt and improve. At Garmin, you never know how the next great idea will be born. But you know it's coming soon." We couldn't say it any better.

Jetstar gets green light for take-off
Page Tools
After a nervous wait, Jetstar has finally been given the all-clear to fly its new fleet of Airbus 320s from Tuesday.
The Qantas low-cost subsidiary received its air operator's certificate to fly the 177-seat aircraft from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority late on Friday afternoon.
Concerns were raised last week over the launch date of Jetstar's new fleet of A320s, after CASA failed the Jetstar crew delivering the first aircraft from the Airbus factory in France.
But after "proving" flights last week and other checks, the airline finally got the go-ahead from the safety regulator.
Jetstar plans to operate its first two A320s from Sydney on Tuesday, lifting its daily services to 14 destinations along eastern Australia from 98 to 110.
The A320s will be added to Jetstar's fleet of 14 B717s and will fly two daily services from Sydney to Queensland's Gold Coast, Hamilton Island and Sunshine Coast, and Avalon in Victoria.
Jetstar's third A320 is scheduled for delivery early next month and will operate out of Melbourne.
The airline is expected to start flying to destinations such as Adelaide, Perth, Alice Springs and Darwin when it takes delivery of more of the aircraft in November.
In total, Jetstar is expected to have 23 A320s in operation in mid-2006, by which time it is expecting to have its fleet of 717s phased out.

Hurst Named To Lombardi Watch List
Hurst, who returns to lead the Carolina offensive line as a senior, has started 36 games in his career since earning a starting job in the second week of his true freshman season. A preseason third-team All-America and first-team All-ACC selection by Phil Steele and a second-team preseason All-America pick by The Sporting News, Hurst earned first-team All-ACC honors from the league's head coaches and second-team honors from the media in 2012. He was a key part of an offensive line unit that paved the way for Carolina to set school records in total offense, scoring and passing yards. Leading the way from the left tackle position, Hurst helped Carolina allow just 11 total sacks on the year as UNC led the ACC in sacks allowed per game (0.92) and ranked ninth in the country in that statistic.
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to: 1) offensive or defensive end-to-end down linemen who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball and 2) linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage. All candidates must be eligible to play college sports under the rules and regulations of the NCAA.
The candidates earned a place on the Official Watch List by: earning All-American honors last season; being named last season to their respective all-conference first team as determined by the conference's head coaches; being projected to be an All-American or first team all-conference player for the coming season; or by nomination approved by the nominations committee.
While the Watch List highlights those players who have already received national recognition, any Division IA player who meets the above requirements is eligible for consideration from the Rotary Lombardi Award Selection Committee. The committee is comprised of more than 500 members, including all past winners and finalists, all Division IA head coaches, and a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List is a reference tool for the Selection Committee. It will be periodically revised until the first round of voting is completed. The first round of voting determines the Top 25 Quarterfinalists for 2013. The second round of voting will determine the final seven semifinalists or "Seven Blocks of Granite". The third round of voting will determine the four finalists from the "Seven Blocks of Granite". The fourth and final round of voting will determine the winner of The 44th Rotary Lombardi Award.

Link not working for me.
EDIT: Fixed now!
So I got three fast mags in a while back and have been working with them during dry fire practice. Here's my second attempt with them today live fire.
Definitely need some work on placement of the mag carriers on this rig. Also need to shorten up some extra straps. Man it's amazing what you find out during live fire that seems to never happen during dry fire practice. I guess that's why we practice.
NOTE: Yes, I'm chubby, but I'm working on that. I've lost about 16 pounds. So, if your gonna make fat jokes, they better be damn funny, and not so mean spirited. I need all the support possible, as anyone who's gone past the line knows. (you know, that line on the scale you never thought you'd hit)

Link not working for me.
EDIT: Fixed now!
It does look like a rather speedy way to get a new mag in-hand and into the weapon, in certain positions.
Is the mag suspended upside down, and you pull it toward the ground to free it?
Now waiting for the classic prone position demo...
Now, as for the prone position... I tried that dry fire at the house (as the wife/cameraperson didn't want me to get my clothes dirty), it doesn't take much for the first two mags to roll starboard to get the mags out. After that, you will have to switch the weapon over to the weak hand to get to the starboard side mags. Personally, I run from left to right when it comes to magazines, or in the case of from the belt, I run front to back. It's probably more simple to run the belt as far as muscle memory, but as I'd stated, this was after one hour of dry fire practice at home. Probably 40 repetitions. It's gonna take some getting used to, but I think the "bandoleer" setup might lend itself to an easier prone position, but I'll have to get back to you on that. Either way, if you're in a really heated sandwich smasher... you're gonna contort your body to facilitate whatever you need anyways. That being said, it was a bit of a bongle to get to the right side of the rig while on the floor. I almost think that mags on the chest rig and mags on the belt might offer some options when on the ground, because you could still get to the belt if you needed to.
Thanks for the insight.
Crap... I left out the part about the other rig I ordered!!! I ordered a bandoleer setup that will put the mags at a 45 degree angle to the left. That might facilitate a faster reload as well as making it less of an issue when you have to "lean" to get to a magazine. Sorry about that omission. I've typed this up a few times. hehehe
Thanks for the detailed replies! I'm showing interest in this item as I am fairly ambidextrous with an AR, and I'd like to find a mag carrier system that supports ambi use. This also seems to keep the mags away from a holstered pistol and anything else on the belt, which is another plus in my book.
On the other hand, it isn't going to slim my "less than svelte" silhouette...

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NEW YORK, July 11, 2007�The Most Reverend William Murphy, Bishop, Diocese of Rockville Centre, will accompany more than 200 young people from the diocese to World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, Australia, July 8 to July 22, 2008. This year�s theme is �You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses.� Acts 1:8
The diocesan group will visit Singapore before departing for Australia, where they will enjoy an opening Mass celebrated by Sydney Archbishop Cardinal George Pell, concerts, festival events, catechesis sessions, Stations of the Cross, sleep outs, a meal cruise out of Darling Harbour, and a vigil with His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. This will be the first papal visit to Australia.
�The experience of World Youth Day has been life-changing for so many young people all around the world,� said Tom Smith, coordinator of the diocesan Youth Ministry Apostolate. �Few experiences have the same power to change minds and hearts and show the reality of the universal Church in our day and age. This experience is a sign of hope and life in the Church.�
Danielle Douglas, a youth leader at St. Boniface parish, Elmont, N.Y. and a sophomore at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, N.Y., will be attending World Youth Day for the first time in 2008.
�I�m ready for it,� Douglas said. �Meeting the pope all the way in Australia�that�s just amazing.�
St. Boniface parish has registered 17 young adults and 15 parents. They started fundraising to cushion the $3,679 diocesan package price last February, according to Amy Sierra, youth minister at the parish.
Our Lady of Mercy parish, Hicksville, N.Y., started fundraising in April to send 12 pilgrims to what youth minister Nolan Reynolds called �a once-in-a-lifetime experience.�
During the meal cruise, diocesan youth who could not make it to Australia will congregate for a talent showcase and a viewing of a live feed from Sydney.
Pope John Paul II started World Youth Day in 1986 in Rome. Sydney will host the 10th international World Youth Day.
The last World Youth Day in Cologne attracted 1.2 million people to the final Mass. Approximately 500,000 people are expected to attend at least one event in 2008, according to the World Youth Day Web site.
For registration information, contact your parish or school representative; contact the Youth Ministry Apostolate at 516-678-5800 ext. 615 or firstname.lastname@example.com� or visit www.wyd2008.org�

Dollhouse Season 1 DVD wins award. It won in the "Best Extras" category in the six annual TV DVD Awards.
Fans voted for the award back in November.
January 04 2010
Not surprising... how many other shows include not one but two unaired episodes on their DVD sets? ;)
Epitaph One certainly is the best extra...even so, it seems a little unfair since most shows don't have entire (spectacular) episodes to use as extras.

: new to growing
I stopped relaxing about a year ago, did a lot of wet sets and finally, I cut off all of the relaxed hair. I didn't realize that the relaxed hair was what was giving me the curls of my dreams! I used a children's texture softener...yeah, I know, a mild relaxer...but I would only leave it in for about 5 minutes. Then it was a couple of inches long and I could still get a handle on it.
Now my hair is down to my jawbone and somewhere on my head has every type you could think of! It goes from a 2b to a 4a! What the heck am I supposed to do with it? Some days, it tries to be a 'fro, never quite succeeding because it's relatively fine. I don't have a natural hair care salon probably within 50 miles (I live in Huntington, WV) to help me so I'm kind of winging this! Almost every black woman I know here either relaxes her hair, has braids or just flatirons it to death.
My hair is fine but strong. It doesn't need a lot of heat to straighten it and most oils just kind of sit on top of it, never actually sinking in. I find that cream leave-in's do a lot better and some sprays work very well too.
The pictures at the bottom are over a 5 month span: June (flat ironed) to today (Aveeno nourish leave in and Shea Moisture Curling souffle).
I just want defined curls with minimal frizz! Help!

Snakk Media has launched a mobile blog network that features 100 entertainment-oriented blogs formatted for cell phones, MediaPost reports. The LA-based company's 310.tv site will feature "niche blogs covering categories such as music, TV, movies, fashion and celebrity gossip, and will be available across most wireless carriers and devices."
Target has signed on to sponsor the new network, and will take the opportunity to promote its exclusive release of the deluxe version of Christine Aguilera's new CD, "Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits," the report said.
Confusingly, the new 310.tv site doesn't include any mobile video, despite its domain name, although we imagine that's in the cards for a later date.

Sport in Schools
Sport and physical activity in schools need not, and should not be restricted to designated PE and Sport times.
In collaboration with the University of Newcastle, the NSW Premier's Sporting Challenge undertook a research study of Stage 3 classes that found significant improvements in student engagement, on-task behaviour and overall classroom behaviour when students combine thinking while moving.
The following videos provide further information (in a five minute summary or with more detail in 15 minutes) about the ..
Lifting Your Game: Thinking while Moving project.
Information about Thinking while Moving workshops to assist teachers with ideas and strategies to implement movement into their maths lessons, can be found under School Sport Professional Development on the School Sport Unit website at: http://www.sports.det.nsw.edu.au/
Participants in workshops are encouraged to develop and share lesson ideas. Below is a growing list of Stage 2, Year 5 and Year 6 lesson plans developed by colleagues so far. (Please note - those without hyperlinks will be coming soon!)
I can honestly say that all the TWM lessons can be conducted using materials that any school would have on hand in either the classroom or sports room . I have also found that there is a high level of student engagement and correspondingly few (if any) behavioural concerns.
I also like the fact that the activities generate a lot of student talk and encourage groups to work cooperatively to solve problems. Also, students relish the opportunity to move outdoors for a lesson.

Every Platte County R-3 School facility has a comprehensive crisis and safety plan. The plans are designed with the assistance of professional law enforcement, counselors, federal officials, administrative staff members, and public health officials. The plans, which are regularly updated, include procedures to respond to a variety of crisis events. School district personnel practice the drills associated these specific emergencies on a regular basis which include fire, intruder, tornado or a modified event that would include a combination of multiple emergencies at the same time. These drills are supervised and evaluated by professionals from law enforcement and fire departments. We prepare to improve and we improve the way we prepare.
Therefore, we insist parents observe the following procedures during a crisis situation:
Do not telephone the school. We understand and respect your concern, but it is essential that the telephone system be available for emergency communications.

'No country can become successful on the back of an uneducated populace'Feb 17, 2012, 01.47 PM IST
The RTE clearly is a landmark judgement in the direction of providing basic education to government school children. With such a vast majority of children yet to be educated, what are the bottlenecks that you perceive in the implementation of the act?
Challenges are inevitable in the execution of a vast programme such as the RTE. Lack of sound infrastructure is the major impediment that we face, physical space for the children's education is a constraint. Many government schools have limited classrooms, desks and benches which is the minimum required infrastructure. Teachers are inadequate and recruiting good quality teachers who are willing to teach is a problem. Absenteeism among the children too, is a major challenge. Getting the children to schools is not the problem, but the real challenge lies in retaining them. Having proper sanitation facilities is important for the girl students, as, after a certain age, girls need separate and clean toilet facilities and if they are not provided with adequate facilities, they go back home and do not return. The dropout rate of girls in government schools by class VIII is about 72% in some places, which is an alarming situation. No country in the world can become a successful power on the backs of an uneducated population, we have to give the children the right tools to be able to cope with the 21st century world economy. It is important to keep the children in schools until high school and thereafter offer them vocational training depending on their talent. There is a lot to be done.
Q- Why has the government reduced the allocation towards education in the last decade (4.2% in 1999-2000 3.8% in 2008-09)?
The GDP of the country has been on the rise and so has the budget, so even a lower percentage would be a higher sum of money, so there is more money going into education, I cannot confirm the accuracy of the figures but we should maintain the same percentage, so that when the economy goes up, the amount of money available for education also goes up.
Q- When many a villages do not have adequate electricity supply, how will the government ensure the success of the Aakash tablet programme?
Like I mentioned before that sound infrastructure is a problem which also includes electricity supply, but efforts are being made to bridge the gap between ambition and execution. The Aakash tablet is no doubt an excellent programme and it should not be curtailed for the lack of certain facilities. The balance of progress and remedy to challenges should go hand in hand.
Q- Is it a good trend among children to be exposed to social networking sites, where filtration of content cannot be guaranteed?
There is abundant learning and general awareness content that is available on these sites. There are many-a-forum where constructive debates and discussions on complex issues, can prove to be of a great understanding for students and children. There is no doubt, an import of matter that may not be suitable for children, at least not in their formative years of learning, in such cases, the parents can play a role in monitoring what their children view on such websites.

I wrote a story today about Birmingham City Council's plans to offshore IT jobs to India.
The council, through its partnership with Capita known as Service Birmingham, is planning to offshore up to 100 jobs.
This does not sound that big a story but it is the first local authority to offshore jobs to low cost locations.
Local government offshoring has been on the cards for a while now but the Birmingham decision could be the first of many.
So is Birmingham City Council being a brave pioneer or is it making a big mistake?
Please fill in this questionnaire and give me your views.

The gameplay to me look unique and very original. Sure, it may not be the most robust gameplay, but it seems like it has a lot of variety in the level design. The 4 levels they showed each had a substantial amount of different situation for you to have to contend with.
It looks like a perfect "old school" game in the vein of the titles mentioned like Crash.
It should be a welcome addition to the launch. Not the most anticipated title certainly, but one worthy of attention in a busy launch.

Swimmers Set Two School Records At Arena Invitational
Nov. 16, 2012
LONG BEACH, Calif. -
Two-time defending national champion California strengthened its grip on first place in the team standings with a two-day total 831.5 points with the Aztecs behind them with a team score of 634.5. Arizona State closed the gap on SDSU as it sits in third place with 619 points with six events remaining to be contested on Saturday
Seniors Melanie Garibaldi and Gemma Johnson set San Diego State records in the individual medley and butterfly respectively during Friday night's finals.

Keywords: Second floor condo in waterview villa.
I have been visiting America and Florida for at least 35 years. I was married to Sue in 2006 on St Pete Beach at the Don Ce Sar hotel.We bought the condo a result of our having 2 U.K homes when we met.
We think of our Florida property as a second home and is furnished and maintained to the highest standards
John l Boys purchased this condo in 2004
A friend of ours spent almost 2 years searching for the perfect location on the west coast of Florida.She invited us to holiday with her and we fell in love with Isla Del Sol.Our first condo was a 1 bed in tower without a water view. On one of our visits we walked around the sea wall around the island (very therapeutic) and we saw where 209H was situated and we knew we had to buy there.We subsequently bought and renovated our condo to a very high standard.
The wildlife to be see in and around St Pete and Fort De Soto are incompairable.With the sea wall being only 10 yards away, with the advantage of luxury elevated seating on the balcony, an uninterrupted view of dolphins, manatees, ospreys etc can be seen. The fishing dock is 50 yards away. The shops on both Isla De Sol and Tierra Verde are within strolling distance as is the Isla Del Sol Country club and Marina where tennis is included in the attractions
In May of 2011, my husband and I rented the condo on Palma Del Mar Blvd. in the Isla Del Sol complex and we were not disappointed in any way. The condo is located in a nice area which is convenient to shopping, restaurants and, of course, fishing – our main reason for going to Florida. It felt like a home away from home. The condo is well maintained, very clean and is nicely furnished, and the beds are comfortable. All appliances were in good working order and we found every kitchen utensil
Nice vacation but do not like all the emails about another vacation; may start blocking emails if this continues.
Unfortunately we both forgot to start the dishwasher. Our sincere apology!
Next time we go to FL we want ocean side condo!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this condo.
The owners were so thorough and responsive to our questions and concerns from the moment we started this process.
The Million $ view is not gimmick; you have a beautiful view of the skyway bridge, the channel side of Tampa, and Tierra Verde. Every night you could see the lighting across the sky, the boat going by; during the day boats, birds, fish, amazing views of the sea- and city- scapes.
Fort Desoto was right down the road. And it was perfect to set up during the day and not feel crowded during the 4th of July weekend.
In the condo, they had everything home comfort. I would highly recommend this place.
I would come back again.
We had a great experience with John and Sue's "Beach House"! They are great to work with. The Fort DeSoto Park and Beach fare fantastic and only a stone's throw away. Great! Great! Great!
The property address is 6372 Palm Del Mar Blvd, #209, St Petersburg, Florida. 33715

I have an inverter that I use to so things like this
I like the idea you can fire up your stove,charge your phone,and then call for a pizza delivery
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
The Biolite website says you can use this to charge LED lights. I think this would be a real advantage in bad situations. If the phone systems are down where you can't use your mobile, it will still be important to have portable lighting. I'm guessing there are either chargers or adapters that can utilize the USB plug? If I'm not mistaken, there are already rechargeable 123 batteries, like the kind that go into tac lights. I believe in being prepared so I think this can still be a great alternative, even for people that already have back-up batteries ready to go. I'm just wondering how long it would take for this unit to fully charge a phone or a pair of 123s?

That is very cool idea.
Another eco-friendly wood stove I found which is pretty cool is the G3 Rocket Stove. It looks great for camping or long term emergency cooking. I particularly like the second burner attachment so you can add a second pot and share the heat as it passes into the flue. It seems you can buy them in the UK but they are designed and made in the USA at Envirofit.
Here's the UK link Wild Stoves, but it doesn't seem they offer the extension unit for it. To purchase in the USA, I think you'd have to call Envirofit directly.
Viewing the Envirofit website, it also looks like they are developing a turbo model which uses forced air, so the fire burns hotter and more efficiently. It also seems it can be used indoors with the flue vented through the wall if you have a small hunting cabin or some remote outpost for a more permanent set-up.

Mommy's Little Princess
It doesn't matter what color you choose. They're gonna hate you in a few years anyway.
Bristol looked into the mirror on her vanity. She slid the black lipstick out of the case and applied it liberally. She dabbed the corners with a tissue and then smiled at her reflection. "Mom is so gonna flip," she said to herself.
She pulled a brush through her long, black hair and then tied it back into a low ponytail. The scent of the fresh dye was strong. She picked up the scissors, and, just as she was about to make the first cut, Jessica opened the door.
"Bristol! OH MY GOD, YOUR HAIR! What did you do?!"
"MOM! GET OUT! This is MY room! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!"
"Not until you explain to me what you've done to your hair. And what is that black goop all over your face?"
"This is who I am, Mom! Get over it!"
"This isn't you, Bristol. What happened to my beautiful blonde little girl?"
"I'm 13! Stop treating me like a baby!"
"You'll always be my baby."
"UGH!!! I can't stand it anymore! Look at this place! Everything is PINK! The walls are pink, the curtains are pink, the pillows are pink!"
Bristol ran over to her closet and whipped open the doors. "Even the damn hangers are pink!"
"You watch your mouth, young lady!"
One-by-one, Bristol yanked all 30 of the flocked-velvet hangers out of the closet and threw them on the ground.
"And what are these? Closet dividers? Why bother? All of my clothes are pink, too!"
"Bristol, honey, if you don't like your clothes, we can go shopping! Wouldn't that be fun? Girls day out!"
If looks could kill, laser beams would have shot out of Bristol's eyes and Jessica's head would have exploded.
"OH suuuure! Let's DO it," Bristol said, her words dripping with sarcasm. "It'll be, like, soooo fun! And maybe while we're out, we can get manis and pedis too!"
"That DOES sound like fun, honey! I'll go make the appointments right now while you wash that muck out of your hair."
Bristol's eyes went real big and she snorted and stomped. "You are so clueless! I hate this room! I hate these stupid pink shelf-organizers. I hate these pink storage bins. And I hate YOU!"
"Now you don't mean that, honey. How about a nice, warm cup of hot cocoa?"
"AHHHHHHYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Bristol screamed and stomped over to the dresser. She picked up the scissors and then held them to her head dramatically.
"Don't you do it, Bristol! Don't you DARE!"
Bristol started grabbing fistfuls of her hair and hacking away at it with the scissors. Clumps of shiny, black hair fell to the floor.
Jessica threw herself to the ground and tried scooping it up as if to save it. Then suddenly, she awoke with a start.
"AHHHHH!" she screamed. Ryan jumped out of bed instinctively, still half asleep and very confused.
"Who … what's going on? Is there someone in the house?" he said now brandishing his nightstand lamp as a weapon.
"Oh, Ryan. I'm so sorry. I just had the most AWFUL dream. Come back to bed. Everything's fine."
Ryan set the lamp down and crawled back into bed.
"But I think I'm going to order that 48-piece storage set in beige instead of pink," Jessica said as she rolled over and pulled the covers up to her chin.

Des Moines, Iowa • Agriculture economists have long warned that farmers are getting old and staying on their land longer, delaying the turnover to a younger generation. But an Ohio State University professor argues that those fears are overstated and the United States likely will have little problem replacing aging farmers as long as business is good, as it has been for the past decade.
Others aren't so sure, saying while they agree with OSU agriculture economist Carl Zulauf's assessment that concerns about the unquestionably aging farmer population remain valid and create uncertainty about who will produce the nation's crops in the future.

Monterey Park is a city located in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 60,051.
With a relatively large Chinese American population, Monterey Park is considered as a "Chinatown" which would be, without signs leading to it, indistinguishable to "American" neighborhoods. However, it has not been called Chinatown as such; instead, the Chinese-dominant business district, around Garfield Avenue and Garvey Avenue, is now called Downtown Monterey Park. Monterey Park was billed "Litle Taipei" in the 1980s or thereabouts.
In the 1970s and 1980s, many Taiwanese immigrants began moving into Monterey Park and Mandarin Chinese was dominant in the city during that time period. By the late 1980s, however, immigrants from Mainland China and Vietnam have moved into Monterey Park as well. In 1990 census this city had the first Asian descent majority population in the United State.
Since early 1990s, the Taiwanese have been no longer dominant in the city and Cantonese Chinese is now widely spoken and heard in most Chinese businesses of Monterey Park. The construction boom of shopping centers has declined. Furthermore, most established, wealthy Taiwanese immigrants have since relocated out of Monterey Park and northward on to wealthier suburbs of San Marino, Arcadia, Temple City, South Pasadena and eastward to Rowland Heights (called the "new Little Taipei" by a local Chinese-language newspaper), Diamond Bar, Hacienda Height, and Walnut with many Chinese-speaking businesses started in those suburbs to accommodate this particular movement. Neverless, there are still countless Chinese-oriented businesses in Montrey Park.
While the multigenerational American-born Latino population generally was declining in Monterey Park, there has been some new incoming of first-generation poor Mexican immigrants.
The Sybil Brand Institute, the county jail for women, was located in the city, but closed in 1994 after the facility had been damaged in the Northridge earthquake.

The Florida shortline that would eventually become the Live Oak, Perry & Gulf Railroad traced its roots to a 1880s lumber operation in the northern central region of the Sunshine state. Incorporated in 1903 and reorganized a few years later as the LOP&G, the road connected Live Oak, Florida, to Perry, with several small branchlines connecting other communities. In 1918, the line was sold the Atlantic Coast Line, which operated it as an affiliated shortline until 1928 when the LOP&G was sold to Brooks-Scanlon Corporation. Its sawmill operations in the region in decline by 1950, Brooks-Scanlon sold the line to the Southern Railway, later Norfolk Southern. The line was sold in 1994 to the Gulf & Ohio shortline system, and more recently again to the Georgia & Florida Railnet.

The date of the photo above is June 25, 1940, the photographer is George A. Pettingill, Jr. There are two trains in the scene, both woodburners. (LOP&G did not convert to coal until 1942-43. Ironically, the road converted to diesel with two of the first production run of GE 70-ton locomotives in November 1946). The first train would be No. 1, the morning mixed train from Live Oak to Perry, returning to Live Oak as No. 2. Normally, No. 2 would change its identify at Mayo Junction and make the mixed run from Mayo Junction to Mayo as Nos. 5 and 6. Back at Mayo Jct., the crew resumed the identify of No. 2 and continued on to Live Oak.
For reasons now unknown, No. 1 is awfully late on this day, for No. 3, the afternoon mixed, has caught up with it at Perry. This situation would be very unique to the LOP&G as No. 2 was scheduled to arrive at Live Oak before No. 3 departed.
Russell Tedder
I've been interested in the Live Oak, Perry & Gulf for a long time, and for several reasons. First, I've always liked GE 70 tonners. They seem like they are "all business." Second, through connections with the South Louisiana NRHS chapter, we became acquainted with Russell Tedder -- longtime president of the Ashley, Drew & Northern in Arkansas, as well as other Georgia Pacific shortlines. The LOP&G was Tedder's first railroad job, and the little line holds a fond place in his memory. Finally, one of our former pastors served the Presbyterian church in Perry, Florida when he was just out of seminary.
Dad detailed and painted this Sunset Models two-rail O-Scale General Electric 70 tonner model for railfan friend and former Live Oak, Perry & Gulf employee Russell Tedder. These 2011 pictures show LOP&G #300 at work in branch line service on Daryl Connor's Charleston & Chattanooga O-scale layout.
