What Guys Said 12
This world of ours is more ever growing heavily populated. Yet human interaction is dwindling.
The cyber world is in full effect. We can connect to people in isolation and all over the world by a click. It is truly astonishing how we are eager to interact through modem to modem.
Yet when it comes to personal interaction you can see this FEAR disease the confidence more and more people.
This site is a perfect example to see this devastating fact. 95% of my answered posts, are simply saying just tell him/her. Or some form of convincing someone that communication with the person of the opposite sex is the key to any Question you may have?
People are filled with FEAR and it is sickening !52|30|0

Oh,good to see you.I picked your answer as the best answer for the question ''What are the 5 best ways to love a man?''that day but your post was removed the next day :(Don't know why:(
They try to delete any answer in which someone has a fun time, learns something, or cracks a smile... It serious business, and happiness will not be tollerated here.
I've noticed that old questions seem to be lost into oblivion, and have no dates or anything attached to them.
I also notice "ghost" users, who will ask one question or two, maybe post and answer and POOF!, they're gone. They either close their accounts or just never return to the site.10|10|0
I've noticed that there's quite a few people (both guys and girls) who care about their life, relationship, style etc... based on the questions asked
I've noticed quite a few guys like to whine on here and girls feel the need to yap their mouth about how these guys are such losers and the whole works...
I've noticed that a LOT of people here are pessimistic. Guys in terms of "oh nobody likes me what am I gonna do" girls in terms of "all guys in this world are assholes, there's no one good enough for me!"00|00|0

I noticed that the people who get the best answer selected are usually the person who tells the question asker what they want to hear and not what they need to hear.. for example
1. someone asked " my boyfriend has started hitting me and he gets mad over everything what should I do "
2. everyone will tell her to leave him . and even go so far as to tell her how she can safely get out of this bad relationship .. but you no what NONE of them get the best answer selected.. but guess who will.. the person that tells the person what they wanted to hear.. example
the best answer was " if you loved him you should stay with him and maybe your commitment to him will make him change . " ARE YOU KIDDING ME? why ask for real advice then just agree with the person who tells you what you was wanting in the first place. people just want there own feeling validated they don't want real advice that would help them ..

I have four HP printers on my local LAN with internal JetDirect cards and two HP printers on a remote LAN segment, one with an internal JetDirect and one with an External JetDirect.
The two remote printers get discovered once each with the external JetDirect showing up under its IP address. The internal JetDirect shows up under the HPidentifier (eg: npie2c349).
The local printers all show up twice, only one of them by its IP address. The other three show up under the HP identifier.

You don't have printer sharing setup for a network printer on on any of the local LAN workstations do you?

1. All these men claim to be teenagers or minors to get the benefits of the Refuge system which gives them a stay in Asylum and a 160 euro handout.
2. Two of these so called 'teens' r*ped a twelve year old boy last month and filmed the whole thing in an asylum.
3. An increasing number of migrants are claiming to be teens when they obviously aren't and draining the resources assigned to serve the needy ones.

A Length of Komon Katazome: Tiny, All Over Design
early twentieth century
53 1/2" x 12", 136 cm x 30.5 cm
This is a length of komon katazome cotton which is dyed in indigo. Komon refers to an all-over pattern, and even though this one is as small and intricate as those which were popular in the Edo period (1603-1868) which are known as Edo komon this length seems to be a more recent vintage, probably from the first half of the 20th century.
The proper reverse of the cloth is being detailed here in order to show the repeat: looking closely you can see faint, horizontal lines which indicate the size of the stencil used to create this pattern; it is an interesting aspect of dyeing to reveal, which is why we are doing it here.
The pattern is a repeat of minuscule triangles which, when seen from a distance, read as mist or fog.
A lovely piece of katazome cotton, and one whose pattern reads more as texture than image.

Search Jim Cramer's Mad Money trading recommendations using our exclusive Mad Money Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "I'm tossing out the red flag," Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers on Wednesday. He said that too many investors aren't doing their homework and are relying on the headlines alone, and that's why the markets have been so wrong about so many corporate earnings this quarter. Cramer said the markets are still dominated by news from Europe, but that doesn't exempt investors from doing the homework, listening to conference calls and finding out what's really going on with a company's earnings. Skip this said, he said, and you're sure to lose money. Consider Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ), which reported $1.24 per share in earnings versus estimates of $1.21. A solid beat, right? Cramer said absolutely not. Turns out Johnson & Johnson only gained from one-time charges and divestitures. Earnings were pitiful. Cramer continues to like private label drug maker Perrigo ( PRGO). A similar story with Travelers ( TRV), which reported only 79 cents a share when the markets were looking for 83 cents. Did the stock plummet lower? Not at all. Cramer said earnings were light, but in the conference call the company revealed that it's writing new policies like crazy and pushed through a price increase, two things that will benefit the company for years to come. Then there's Coca-Cola ( KO), a stock which Cramer owns for his charitable trust,

SFMA are you saying that the centre of mass is the point to which everything is attracted?
Why water?
Quote from: sophiecentaur on 02/06/2008 14:07:07Why water? Of the four basic elements Earth, Water, Air and Fire only the wateris dependent from the others. Earth can't survive without water, air has water elements and fire can't survive without the air. Alchemists even calim that water is the essence of fire. It's quite natural that's in the perpetual centre would be dependent from others. The rest would be dependent on it that is normal.
The hexagonal structure is justified because experiments and calculations have revealed it to be the stable structure adopted by iron under high pressure and temperature.My propositon is at the very inmost of the inner core, the last thing at the very bottom is water.
The idea of water at the core has not been shown to have merrit. And should water ever reach the core in sufficient quantity it would cause a spectacular eruption.
Earlier today a colleague of mine was bemoaning the fact that the word "quintessentially" was grossly overused. I asked why the other 4 essences (or elements) didn't get the same attention.I'm now happy to say that this story of the 4 elements is quintessentially nonsense.(Sophie, is that far enough from reasoning?)
Quoting CNN as the source of all truth generally gets you laughed at, but to do so where it plainly proves you are wrong (please note iron isn't the same as water) is even funnier.Thanks for that, I needed a good giggle.
Should water ever reach the core in sufficient quantity it would cause a spectacular eruption.
And I'm afraid I have no real idea what"Water can solidified to a rock state but still it maximum density does not occur." means. Water ...the maximum density does not occur when solidified even at rock level.Incidentally, there seems to be general agreement that there is hot iron down in the earth's core.Since hot iron reacts chemically with water I'm pretty sure that there's no water.Still, that's only reallity talking an reallity doesn't seem to have much to do with this thread.
It's been released from the molten subterranean magma itself.
Consider this recent discovery they found water from the molten magma. New news from Kilauea: "Never been seen before"by: Bill Harbyposted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 05:24 PM We always knew Hawaii volcanoes were unprecedented.Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists have been analyzing the steam and gas plume thats been gushing from Halemaumau crater at the summit of Kilauea since March 11th. They've found something they didnt expect: the H2O in their test tubes is not from ground water. It's been released from the molten subterranean magma itself.Theyre calling it juvenile water, and its never been seen before anywhere on the planet, says Jim Kauahikaua, chief scientist.
Nuclear fusion: Force two atoms together, hydrogen and indeed oxygen closer together to create fusion The immense pressure under the earth would suffice to force them close enough. It may ultimately be found that hydrogen and oxygen cannot exist very close together. The Hot ice shows that even at relatively low pressure the familiar water state is not observed.
So any spare hydrogen is married with spare oxygen the very instant they arrive
"So what has happened to this water vapour? Obviously it has atomised and the atoms from it have dissipated."Nonsense. The stuf coming out of the back of a rocket is hot so any water there is a vapour. The vapour (and remember that like most gases, it's invisible) just flys away into space.Here on earth the atmosphere cools that vapour and makes it condense into tiny droplets which we can see.There would need to be some huge energy source to break the bonds between the atoms that make up the water molecules- and there isn't one so they don't dissociate.- of course, under bombardment fron the sun's radiation they will disociate in time.As for the nclear fusion idea there is a clear problem.The sun is a lot hotter than the centre of the earth. It's also a lot bigger so the pressure in the middle is much higher.Even the sun only does nuclear fusion very slowly- it has been at it for billions of years and has billions more to go.At the much lower temperatures and pressures in the earth's core the rate of fusion would be too small to observe- never mind explosive.Any oxygen in the deep core would react with iron.
There would need to be some huge energy source to break the bonds between the atoms that make up the water molecules- and there isn't one so they don't dissociate.- of course, under bombardment fron the sun's radiation they will disociate in time.
Water is a source of electric currents
SophieC mentioned water droplets I said I don't believe it.
May I remind you that I have added some very important experiments to science by thinking of ways to demonstrate how solutes alter flow in fluids using gravity.
If the pressure can do this maybe it can produce some of the many different materials found on earth also by fusing them together?
So I am assuming that the water is decomposed.

Team NYARA/Journey
Primal Quest 2015 – Tahoe
"The Primal Quest course was nothing short of spectacular, epic and most likely in contest for the best Adventure Race course ever designed.
There was 66,000 feet of vertical! Puts every other course into shame. Other races talk about mountains and hilly courses. This was beyond everything else.
Long distances and few check points. It was like a 'normal' leg between most check points. Each leg in Primal Quest was almost like it's own adventure race in itself. I just finished USARA nationals and it was easier to finish that course, than it was to make it between many of the check points in Primal Quest.
And the ropes section! Absolutely amazing – can't in words describe how awesome that was."
Roy Malone
Team Bones
Malone has spent the past 14 years racing around the world with Team Subaru and Team Bones. From South Africa to New Zealand, he's competed in 11 different countries including top 10 finishes in some of the world's biggest expedition events- Eco Challenge, Southern Traverse, AR World Championships and of course Primal Quest.
Roy has completed with top finishes all seven previous Primal Quest races and looks forward to another great adventure in British Columbia next year.
Malone continues to bring his depth of history and experience as an Advisory Board Member for Primal Quest. Roy is one of the few adventure racers that is still racing consistently over almost a 15yr span.
In addition to his training and competing, Roy is an executive in the Financial technology (FinTech) sector and a father of four kids, living in El Dorado Hills.
"Maria, David and Paul. You guys put on a hell of a race. MUCH harder than PQ Tahoe 2003. Details were excellent. Organization was outstanding. We could tell that your heart and soul was in the race as your bloodshot eyes revealed the depth of your own sleep deprivation throughout the week.
Volunteers- wow! What a group.
May be the best I've seen in my 15 year racing career. Photographers, Outside TV, and sponsors. Thank you for supporting such a great sport. The drama of life gets concentrated and compressed during these races making for a rich experience. We realize it doesn't happen without a team with the guts and resolve to do whatever is necessary to make it go. Here's to the return of Primal Quest. Can't wait for 2017!" – Roy Malone – Team Bones Adventure Racing

Immediate past First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, has been caught on camera with former president Olusegun Obasanjo together at an event.
These photos were taken at the burial ceremony of the mother of Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi last Friday.
The former First Lady was seen dancing heartily with the ex president who seemed like he was really fond of her.
The photos have caused quite a stir especially because the two of them were supposed to be sworn enemies.
It will recalled that former President Obasanjo campaigned against her husband, Goodluck Jonathan during the last election.
Obviously this shows that in politics, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.

SAN ANTONIO -- Guard James Harden returned to the starting lineup to score 28 points and lead the Houston Rockets to a 111-98 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night in a Christmas Day game.
Harden, who missed the last two games with a sprained left ankle, averaged 30.5 points and six assists in the last four contests against San Antonio. He was 11 of 16 shooting in 31 minutes with 16 points in the fourth quarter.
All five Rockets starters were in double figures, including guards Chandler Parsons with 21 and Jeremy Lin 13. Forward Terrence Jones added 21 and 14 rebounds and for the Rockets (19-11), who never trailed in the game. Center Dwight Howard had 15 points and 20 rebounds for this 20th double-double this season.
Guard Manu Ginobili led the Spurs (22-7) with 22 points.
Forward Kawhi Leonard added 13, while forward Tim Duncan had 11 points and 14 rebounds.
San Antonio's leading scorer, guard Tony Parker, had six points on 3 of 11 shooting.
The Rockets came out strong to lead this game, shooting 56 percent in the first half on their way to a 60-51 halftime lead. But it was Parson's 14 first quarter points, which included four 3-pointers, that jump started Houston to an 18-point lead in the first period.
By the time the first 12 minutes lapsed, Houston had 40 points on the board. It was the second time in the last three games that the Spurs allowed 40 points in a quarter.
Parsons had 16 points at the half to lead all scorers.
San Antonio came back in the third quarter and cut the lead to two on a pair for Parker free throws with three minutes that made it 75-73.
But Houston responded with Harden, who doubled his scoring in the fourth quarter . The game was eerily similar to the one played Nov. 30th that Houston won 112-106. San Antonio came back from a 23-point deficit to take the lead, only to have Harden seal the win with a late 3-pointer.
San Antonio's bench outscored the Rockets second stringers 49-13.
NOTES: Despite key players in and out of the line-up with injuries, the Rockets maintained their offensive firepower. They rank second in scoring in the NBA averaging 106.3 points a game. ... Both teams sported the new "Big Logo" sleeve jersey designs the NBA unveiled for teams playing on Christmas Day. Players were also were wearing Christmas-themed shoes. ... Spurs C Tim Duncan had a rough start to the season, but regained his old form of late. The 17-year veteran is averaging 16.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and shooting 49 percent from the field in December.

First of all, let me introduce myself . My name is Patricia, from Spain, and I am 20 years old.
This summer I am going to Korea, were I will stay for 5 weeks more or less.
I will stay in Busan for a 3 weeks and then I think I will visit Jeju and Seoul. (please let me know places you recommend me to visit! ^^)
I haven't really planned anything yet, but I hope I will do it!
The thing is that I think I should take this chance to also visit some other Asian countries, like China, Japan, Tailand, Singapur... (or anywhere I could get "cheap" tickets to).
But the problem is that I don't really know what to do... This is my first time traveling to Asia and I would be traveling alone.
I am quite good at "surviving" on foreign countries... at least traveling europe, which I am sure is pretty different.
What do you recommend me to do? Is anyone in the same situation? Could you give me advice?
I am a mess! I will be thankfull for some help!
Thank you very much!

Why are pointVectorFields not mapped using mapFields?
Hi all,
I am simulating boats which are free to heave and trim using interDyMFoam (OF-2.1.0). To make my simulations more efficient, I want to map a coarse mesh solution onto a fine mesh. I works perfectly as long as the object isnt moving. For some reason pointVectorFields (ie the pointDisplacement file) do not get mapped, even though they are required to run the simulation in the the target directory. I tried to grep the orientation (of the moving object) from the source directories pointDisplacement file and chucked it into the target directories file, but that is obviously not working. That draw a few questions regarding my understanding of mapFields and interDyMFoam:
Q1: Why are pointVectorFields not mapped?
Q2: How do I map the mesh deformation correctly?
Q3: Why is there a pointDisplacement AND cellDisplacement file, isnt that redundant information? Latter one is mapped OK.
Grateful for any advice!
Cheers, Max
Well I just figured out how to solve Q2: You simply specify (deformed) orientation and centreOfMass AND initialOrientation and initialCentreOfMass. The actual points will be moved accordingly by the solver and the cellDisplacement too. Too easy!
Cheers, Max
i have a similar problem with interDyMFoam (moving mesh) and mapFields. I just want to map from a coarse to a fine mesh but the solver crashes probably caused by the cell movement.
How did you solve the problem?
i use the command:
mapFields -sourceTime latestTime -consistent
Best regards
i figured it out.
mapFields doesn't take moving meshes into account. The domains of both cases dont match since the displacement isn't considered resulting in a crash.
It can be solved by using a dynamicMesh instead of fvmesh in mapFields
1. replace all fvmesh with solidBodyMotionFvMesh
2. update Header
3 compile
If you map the fields from the sourcecase to the target case the time folders need to be identical and the target case folder needs to be empty.
best regards
Greetings Henning,
It might make sense to report this issue on the bug tracker: http://www.openfoam.org/bugs/ - specially since you've already found the solution ;)
Although, there is a limitation to this: if you change all "fvMesh" references to "solidBodyMotionFvMesh" or similar, then mapFields will only work if the file "constant/dynamicMeshDict" exists.
Best regards,

Esgaroth, also known as Lake-town or Esgaroth upon the Long Lake, was a small settlement and community of Human in the northeastern part of mapped Middle-earth. The town was constructed entirely of wood and stands upon wooden pillars sunk into the bed of the Long Lake, south of Erebor and and east of Mirkwood.
After Dale was attacked by the Dragon Smaug, Esgaroth remained where it was utilized water as its defense. The Long Lake was also surrounded by towering cliffs and high mountains, all helpful natural barriers that had the potential to aid its defenders in a siege. While these defenses slowed and diverted Lake-town's human enemies, it did nothing to prepare its inhabitants against Smaug.

Under rainy skies at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Union and the Montreal Impact played to a 2-2 draw.
In a wild match between the Philadelphia Union (5-10-4) and the Montreal Impact (5-6-3), goals and fouls were at an all time high. Eric Ayuk opened the scoring for Philadelphia in the eighth minute with an absolute screamer right inside the 18 yard box.
An absolute screamer from Eric Ayuk. #PHIvMTL #DOOPhttps://t.co/QRRuYCIKBN
— Major League Soccer (@MLS) June 27, 2015
While Philadelphia looked to have control over the match, Ignacio Piatti responded with a well placed goal in the bottom corner of the net to equalize the game for Montreal. The first half was not only filled with two great goals, but three yellow cards: two for Montreal and one for Philadelphia.
The second half was just as wild as the first. Jack McInerney, a former Philadelphia Union player who was traded last season to Montreal in exchange for Andrew Wenger, silenced the home crowd with the go ahead goal in the 70th minute assisted by Andres Romero. While it looked like the Impact would be heading back home with three points from their American road-trip, Union captain Maurice Edu equalized the game in the 76th minute with an unassisted goal. The match was a chippy one and the game ended 10 vs. 10. after Montreal's Patrice Bernier got his second booking of the night in the 67th minute and was sent off while Philadelphia's Eric Ayuk got both a goal and a second yellow to end his night on a sour note.
The biggest storyline coming into the game was the comparison between Andrew Wenger and Jack McInerney. Both players came off of the bench to face their former clubs. McInerney, who has had a rather tough time with Montreal, having scored only three goals in 13 games, definitely proved his worth snagging a goal and an assist while playing only 30 minutes. Wenger played as many minutes as McInerney but did not even record a shot during the match. While it is not fair to compare both players by judging only a small portion of the match, Jack McInerney was by far more pumped to play his former club. "They're going to take the game to us, being at home, so if they're throwing guys forward, we can sit back and get two or three goals on the counter."
Although the weather played a significant role in the match, Philadelphia will definitely feel as if they dropped two points at home. With many east coast teams playing rivalry matches this weekend, three points could have placed them securely over the playoff line. The Union will host D.C. United for an Open Cup match on Tuesday at 7:30pm for their third game in a week while the Impact will get some time off to rest and face New York City FC at home next Saturday.

OK, just saw this trailer based on one of the popular novels(Oscar Scott Card's "Ender's Game") - and pretty much what struck me about it is their THEME of indoctrinating the youth to "work together for the common good to make this world a better place"(in this case, to train them to fight the aliens).
Indoctrinating the youth has been one of the primary agendas of the Communist Manifesto, Hitler's N@zi Germany, and even present day America.
Ender's Game trailer
'Ender's Game' Trailer Focuses on Adults and Aliens
Ender's Game may be a potential entry into the canon of Y.A. phenomena, with kids taking center stage in the intergalactic war story, but the latest trailer for the movie, based on Orson Scott Card's novel, focuses more on the adults of the story.
The trailer is framed by Harrison Ford's Colonel Graff addressing in voice over Asa Butterfield's titular character, Ender, about his great potential
he may be "The One"
and the mounting alien threat
. Ford's Graff and Kingsley's Mazer Rackham debate over Ender's readiness, while Viola Davis's Major Gwen Anderson worries about what will become of "the boy." We do see Ender doing battle, but get only the briefest of glimpses of his relationships with the other children at Battle School, like Ender's sister Valentine (Abigail Breslin) and his peer Petra (Hailee Steinfeld), an element of the story which makes up much of the book.
Obviously Kingsley, Ford, and Davis are the biggest names here, and Summit is selling the movie partially on their star power and partially on what look to be stunning visuals. One has to wonder, though, how the film will handle the interactions between the children, which are ultimately the heart of the story. We've seen very little of those dynamics so far. Can a Y.A. movie successfully market itself without the, y'know, young adults?
As for the controversy over author Orson Scott Card's record of homophobia, we'll have to see if it pops up again. The creative team did a decent job of addressing the issue at Comic-Con, where producer Roberto Orci said that they were going to "use the spotlight no matter how we got here to say we support LGBT rights and human rights."

Common Core's Dirty Little Secret
Common Core has a dirty little secret...data collection.
There are four hundred points of data being collected, monitored and stored on every child in the American education system. Monitoring devices are being implemented in our children's classrooms. All of this is being done under the guise of education reform.
What is the SLDS?
The State Longitudinal Database System, is a comprehensive database compiled on each child. This data is not aggregate data, it is linked specifically to the child. Data that is collected will follow the child through to their adult years and beyond. In fact, that is the purpose of the SLDS, to provide a database that grows along with the child into their career years.
The Workforce Data Quality Initiative's Mission Statement from the United States Department of Labor's website reads:
"The long-term Workforce Data Quality Initiative and SLDS goal for States is to use their longitudinal data systems to follow individuals through school and into and through their work life."
"Enable workforce data to be matched with education data to ultimately create longitudinal data systems with individual-level information beginning with pre-kindergarten through post-secondary schooling all the way through entry and sustained participation in the workforce and employment services system."
The SLDS has been implemented nationwide in each state. It became fully operational in 2012.
The funding for the SLDS was from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act in 2009. Oregon was awarded $10.5 million to create our SLDS.
Along the way the SLDS was transformed into the P20W, or the Preschool through age 20 Workforce Tracking. As the US Department of Labor stated, the P20W is to enable workforce data to matched with education data...with individual-level information. It is a cradle to career monitoring system. Children will not be the only ones under scrutiny. Teachers are going to be linked directly to their students and their performance will be assessed on the data that is collected. Parents' information is also being collected. This is essentially a complete dossier on every American that will follow them throughout their life. A permanent record of their beliefs, behavior, and their preferences.
How is this possible if we have privacy laws in place specifically for the handling of personal information? With the implementation of the SLDS, the FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) had to be altered. In December of 2011 FERPA was amended to include exceptions in which student information could be shared without parental knowledge or consent
Let's take a look at the exception.
One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel) or a person serving on the school board. A school official may also include a volunteer or contractor outside of school who performs an institutional service of function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist; a parent or student volunteering to serve on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee; or parent, student, or other volunteer assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Did we leave anyone out? Basically anyone, anywhere, for any reason can access your child's information without your knowledge or consent.
400 points of data will be collected. The National Education Data Model's website had a listing but the site was reworked and now they are buried deep in the site. Fortunately, we have some very technically savvy people fighting against the Common Core and one person in New Jersey was able to download all 400 points, we have a link to these listed on our website.
Ones of interest are:
Non-school activity status (groups your child is involved in on personal time)
Family income range
Religious affiliation
Medical laboratory procedure results
inBloom, Inc.is the newly formed not-for-profit organization that will warehouse the data collected by the SLDS. All of your child's personal information will be compiled in a centralized location and shared at the whims of inBloom and the State.
This collection of data is attracting start-up educational companies and third parties like vultures to a fresh kill.
An article from Rueters states:
The most influential new product may be the least flashy: a $100 million database built to chart the academic paths of public school students from kindergarten through high school. In operation just three months, the database already holds files on millions of children identified by name, address and sometimes social security number. Learning disabilities are documented, test scores recorded, attendance noted. In some cases, the database tracks student hobbies, career goals, attitudes toward school - even homework completion.
...federal law allows them to share files in their portion of the database with private companies selling educational products and services.
Entrepreneurs can't wait.
The database is a joint project of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which provided most of the funding, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and school officials from several states.
Amplify Education, a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp
, built the infrastructure over the past 18 months. When it was ready, the Gates Foundation turned the database over to a newly created nonprofit, inBloom Inc, which will run it
The sector is undeniably hot; technology startups aimed at K-12 schools attracted more than $425 million in venture capital last year, according to the NewSchools Venture Fund, a nonprofit that focuses on the sector. The investment company GSV Advisors tracked 84 deals in the sector last year, up from 15 in 2007.
In addition to its $100 million investment in the database, the Gates Foundation has pledged $70 million in grants to schools and companies to develop personalized learning tools.
Our children have been sold to the highest bidders.
The question uppermost in every parent's mind is: Is my child's information safe? inBloom answers us with this reassuring security policy clause:
inBloom, Inc and inBloom, Inc Contractors strive to keep inBloom and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) secure, and inBloom, Inc uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to do so, however, inBloom, Inc cannot guarantee the security of the information stored in inBloom or that the information will not be intercepted when it is being transmitted.
Well that makes me feel a whole lot better...how about you?
There are several methods of data collection and data mining that are involved in the Common Core initiative.
The first being technology.
Facial recognition cameras perched atop computers, will enable teachers and administrators to evaluate a child's emotional response to what they are learning or what they are being told to do. A pressure sensitive mouse will enable those same evaluators to determine how stressed a child is when they are required to do something. A posture-sensitive chair will reveal a child's temperament via their body language. This is directly from the Promoting Grit, Tenacity and Perseverance document from the Department of Education, page 44
Health monitoring bracelets are also being implemented in schools throughout the nation. These devices are a pedometer and heart rate monitor all-in-one. Children are being encouraged to wear these at school, and even in some instances, at home as well.
The second method of collection is through data mining hidden in the assessments.
While reading through the National Assessment of Educational Progress's Fourth Grade Mathematics and Reading Assessment Sample Booklet, I found that it contained queries that were more fitting for a census questionnaire rather than a fourth grade assessment.
In this section, please tell us about yourself and your family.
1. Which of the following best describes you? Fill in one or more ovals.
White, Black or African American, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
2. Do you have the following in your home? Fill in ovals for all that apply:
Access to the Internet, Clothes dryer just for your family, Dishwasher, More than one bathroom, Your own bedroom.
3. How often do people in your home talk to each other in a language other than English?
Never, once in a while, about half the time, all or most the time
4. Do the following people live in your home? Fill in ovals for all that apply.
Mother, stepmother, foster mother or other female legal guardian, father, stepfather, foster father or other male legal guardian.
What bearing on our children's knowledge of Mathematics and Reading does their ethnicity, appliance ownership status, and family dynamic have?
An adult would have the right to not answer these invasive and pointless questions. A child doesn't know they can decline. It is part of the test. Are they not taught to answer all of the questions on the test?
Why do we need all of this data collected on our children in order to determine the effectiveness of a curriculum or standards?
The US government seeks to put children on a career path that is chosen by their aptitude in academic areas. This is a career path that they will implement by middle school.
This career path does not take into account the desires of the child. It is only concerned with the needs of the
collective society
Instead of asking our children What do you want to be when you grow up? we will be asking them What does your career aptitude assessment say you will be?
The end purpose is to be able to inventory and monitor the human capital, our children.
Major corporations have invested a lot of money in education and they are expecting a return on that investment. For every $1 invested a business can expect to gain a $7 return on that initial investment in American education.
Not only are they expecting a monetary dividend, but they are also counting on a guaranteed future workforce specifically trained to meet their corporate needs
Our children are more than a guaranteed future workforce. They have hopes, dreams and desires that they should be allowed to fulfill without the government dictating to them what they can or cannot do.

Common Core lessons blasted for sneaking politics into elementary classrooms
By Perry Chiaramonte
Published November 06, 2013
It's exactly what critics of the Common Core school curriculum warned about: Partisan political statements masquerading as English lessons finding their way into elementary school classrooms.
Teaching materials aligned with the controversial national educational standards ask fifth-graders to edit such sentences as (The president) makes sure the laws of the country are fair, The wants of an individual are less important than the well-being of the nation and the commands of government officials must be obeyed by all. The sentences, which appear in worksheets published by New Jersey-based Pearson Education, are presented not only for their substance, but also to teach children how to streamline bulky writing.
We are doing a terrible disservice to this generation and the next if we only present them with one side of the argument and bombard them with ideas contrary to the American ideal."

'Big money' and Catholic bishops in lockstep with Common Core education reform
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops accepts Gates Foundation grant to implement the Commmon Core curriculum in Catholic schools.
Catholic Education Daily recently broke the news that The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation criticized in pro-life circles for its family planning grant program encouraging the use of contraceptives in developing countries paid the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) more than $100,000 to support teacher training and materials on implementing the Common Core school standards.
In addition, the Gates Foundation has given money to DePaul University for Leading with Algebra, a partnership between DePaul and the Chicago Public Schools to support the implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in algebra for grades 6-8. It has also awarded the Cristo Rey Network to implement Common Core in the nationwide network of Catholic schools.[i]
Its no secret that The Gates Foundation has been pushing Common Core for public education. Subsidizing the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed more than $76 million to support teachers in implementing the Common Corea standardized national curriculum.[ii]
Other groups have benefited from the foundation as well: The Gates Foundation since January 2008 has awarded more than $35 million to the Council of Chief School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, the two main organizations charged with drafting and promoting common standards. Achieve, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based education-reform organization, received $12.6 million from the Gates Foundation in February 2008, according to data provided to the Washington Post by the foundation. The Fordham Institute has accepted more than $1.4 million from the Gates Foundation, including nearly $960,000 to conduct Common Core reviews.[iii]
But what does Common Core have that the Gates Foundation thinks Catholics need?
In the lengthy list that researcher Betsy Kraus has compiled of the particular dangers Common Core poses for Catholic school children, there are three that may address this question. They are:
· - Changing Christian principles and beliefs into opinions,
· - Collecting health and personal information on the child and family from K-12 and beyond, storing the information in Data banks, and making the information available to others without permission from the parents, and·
- Teaching environmental sustainability based on the United Nations Agenda 21, which, among other things promotes population control
Working backwards through this list, the Gates Foundations interest in population control is a matter of public record. The Gates Foundation has been so successful in their family planning initiatives that the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) awarded their annual Population Award in 2010 to the Foundation.[v]
Catholics, as an institutional body, have proved resiliently unmoved by population control arguments. The clever videos produced by the Population Research Institute present Catholic thought on this issue in a particularly accessible manner. [vi]
Individual Catholics, by contrast such as Melinda Gates chafe against Church teaching.[vii] Money targeting educational programs that have a population control component serves multiple interests
And what, precisely, are the components within Common Core that promote acceptance of population control?
Hold on to that question while you consider the second danger mentioned above from Kraus list, namely the collection of health and personal information on school children and their families that is stored in data banks. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (an continued in the 2011 budget),
which set aside over $100 billion for education reform, $4 billion was used specifically to encourage states to implement various educational policies, such complying with Common Core standards and building data systems
Robust Data Gives Us the Roadmap to Reform, is the title of Secretary Arne Duncans address to the Fourth Annual Institute of Education Sciences Research Conference in 2009. In addition to $250 million in the Recovery Act for statewide data systems, we have requested nearly $690 million for IES' activities, an increase of more than $70 million from last year's budget. Among other things, that money will pay for a longitudinal study of teachers and an international assessment of adult competencies.
We will also launch a national survey to examine the participation of our youngest learners in preschool as well as the levels of parent and family involvement in education
Lest one gather from this that all the data collected is purely academic, digging deeper uncovers that there are behavioral and health elements, too.
Judy Willis, a neurologist and teacher who is an advocate of Common Core, writes: The CCSS [Common Core State Standards] goals support cognitive actions that are the executive functions for a global economy, writes Dr. Willis. We cannot let this educational goal be subverted through the challenges posed by the tests themselves or how they are used. There will be a new group of high-risk students: Previous high achievers are showing fight/flight/freeze stress responses when tested with single-response questions. [T]eachers describe profound emotional reactions including anger, hostility, retribution (such as false accusations of teacher misconduct) and more subtle but equally disturbing behavioral changes of withdrawn participation and effort, depression, and more sick-day absences
. [ix]
Childrens reactions must be carefully monitored and assessed.
Health standards, such as those mandated in Kentucky, go beyond merely instructing students about the factors assuring optimal health but require students to demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to enhance health, and demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.
They must demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks and demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal, family, and community health
Not only are these remarkably invasive goals for a school, they presume a set of values, which in public schools has been at a profound variance with Catholic thought.
Proposed National Sexuality Education Standards, designed to be incorporated into the national health standards, are a stunning example of that, whose advisory committee includes representatives of Planned Parenthood and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
Here we find that students need opportunities to engage in cooperative and active learning strategies, and sufficient time must be allocated for students to practice skills relating to sexuality education and need multiple opportunities and a variety of assessment strategies to determine their achievement of the sexuality education standards and performance.[xi]
As this article is being prepared, there is proposed Senate Bill (SB 374) titled, An Act Requiring Behavioral Health Assessments for Children, that would mandate every public school student in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 and each home-schooled child at ages 12, 14 and 17 to have a confidential behavioral health assessment, the results of which shall be disclosed only to the child's parent or guardian, and (2) each health care provider performing a child's behavioral health assessment to complete the appropriate form supplied by the State Board of Education verifying that the child has received the assessment. It is not suggested that this information is to be, at the present time, part of the schools data collection but the act of mandating such assessments is already a remarkably intrusive step.
The last danger to Catholic school children from Common Core under consideration here is its systematic approach to changing a students values. Curriculum, it has been said, follows assessment.
If assessments mandate behaviors (demonstrations), then Common Core-supportive curricula must include techniques to ensure behavioral change
. For the children to pass the assessments, won't the teacher have to employ the same public school behavioral techniques and computer technology to achieve the proper psychological adjustment of the child?
The attitudinal adjustment of the child is embedded in the curriculum, in order to conform to the constant computer mini-assessments and tests
The big money pouring into Catholic schools to support Common Core, therefore,
isnt to improve academic achievement but to create a new citizen with the right values
. Catholics, with their counter-cultural beliefs, evidently need a bit more fiscal infusion to move parochial education into lockstep with the world. But were getting there.

Common Core Teaches Kids Government Must Be Obeyed
: Opposition is rising to new national education standards pushed on public schools. They have turned schools into re-education camps for liberalism, with political statements masquerading as English lessons.
If one had to include one speech by President Ronald Reagan as recommended reading in a national standardized curriculum it might be the one in which he stood in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
One might pick Reagan's first inaugural address when he said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." Or even his 1964 "A Time for Choosing" on behalf of Barry Goldwater that launched him to political prominence.
The speech chosen by Common Core for its English Standards, which recommends "exemplar texts" for reading, including addresses by a host of worthy historical figures such as Patrick Henry, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and Martin Luther King was Reagan's May 1988 speech to students at Moscow University.
It is a fine speech and in it he speaks of the fruits of liberty in the West and of the promise of the "Moscow Spring" but its softer tone does not speak of the "evil empire" that would soon come crashing down.
There is no stirring rhetoric on the evils of tyranny, or of the dangers of big government.
Could it be that recommending a Reagan speech that defines government as the problem rather than the solution might conflict with the subliminal messages in a worksheet that asks students to rewrite sentences to make them "less wordy." Sentences like, "The commands of government officials must be obeyed by all."
The worksheets, published by New Jersey-based Pearson Education, ask fifth-graders to edit such sentences as "(The president) makes sure the laws of the country are fair," and "The wants of an individual are less important than the well-being of the nation."
That last sentence sounds suspiciously like the old Marxist axiom "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
The Constitution, the Supreme Court and a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government ensure fairness under of our laws. The Constitution and the laws enacted by Congress are what should protect individuals. The president should see to it that that the laws are faithfully executed.
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Initiative was cooked by a group of the nation's governors and backed by the Obama White House in 2009 with the goal of setting a uniform standard for grades K-12 nationwide. Some 45 states, in many cases enticed by federal grants, have signed on. Testing in grades 3-8 and high school is scheduled to begin next year.

Parent Questions School Indoctrination and Is Labeled a Neo-Nazi
East Pennsboro School District parent, Josh Barry, was accused of possibly being a neo-**** for questioning his childs left-leaning assignment. The accuser, a teacher and the districts union president asked a mutual Facebook friend of Barrys whether she thought Barry was a neo-nazi.
Its actually much worse than that. The teacher was hoping to dig up dirt on the parent and smear his name but, fortunately for Mr. Barry, she called the wrong person.
Im surprised they didnt have him arrested like the parent in Maryland who objected to Common Core.
Barry posted the phone message left by the teacher on YouTube its really quite unbelievable.
Both the teacher and the parent are Jewish.
The parent wants the School Board to dismiss the teacher.
Listen to the YouTube message below:
This is Mr. Barrys address to the Board. He addresses the rampant school indoctrination and the tactics that were being used to ruin him, particularly by union leaders. It is well worth listening to after a short ad, click her or listen below::

Why would Duncan inject 'race' in Common Core debate?
The leader of America's education system continues to be raked over the coals for his remarks disparaging those who are criticizing the Common Core Standards.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan recently lashed out and trashed opponents of Common Core Standards,
labeling those critics as "white suburban moms" who are worried their children don't measure up to the new standards. In her op-ed yesterday, syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin said in making those comments, Duncan revealed himself to be "a bigot, a bully, an elitist, and a foot-in-mouth fool all rolled into one
Duncan apologized later, describing it as "clumsy phrasing that I regret."
Jane Robbins, a senior fellow with the American Principles Project, says Duncan's outburst is evidence of his growing irritation with growing criticism of the Common Core. She says this comment went beyond demeaning remarks he's made in the past.
"They generally call everybody 'conspiracy theorists' and 'black helicopter people' and all that, but what he's done now is to introduce race and class into it,"
she laments.
Robbins says parents opposed to what she considers Common Core's "inferior standards" can actually be heartened in spite of the secretary's invectives.
"Intensity is building all over the country," she notes. "We don't have to settle for this we're Americans, we have freedom in this country, and we don't have to just roll over for what other so-called 'experts' think that our children need."

Common Core Recommended Reading Condones Rape, Pedophilia, Graphic Sex?
A book on the federal Common Core State Standards Initiative's recommended reading list has sparked outrage among Christian leaders and one community in Colorado for its graphic and non-judgmental portrayal of rape, pedophilia, and incest.
"This book is no different than p0rnography," Monica Cole, director of One Million Moms, an online advocacy arm of the American Family Association, told The Christian Post in a Monday interview. She then linked pornography to human trafficking, rape, sexual violence, and even sexual slavery.
In order to compete for the education funds, states had to agree to adopt the standards even before they knew what the standards would be. All but five states adopted them, and their slow unveiling has caused a great deal of controversy among both conservatives and liberals.
The book in question, The Bluest Eye by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison, appears under "Grade 11-CCR Text Exemplars" on Appendix B of the Common Core website. According to the short summary, it tells how "an eleven-year-old african-american girl in Ohio, in the early 1940s, prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be beautiful."
The novel uses explicit, bodily detail in its narration of sexual acts. "When she senses some spasm about to grip him, she will make rapid movements with her hips, press her fingernails into his back, suck in her breath, and pretend she is having an orgasm," runs one episode. Lewd references to body parts abound, even in the case of little girls.
The author reportedly said "she wanted the reader to feel as though they are a 'co-conspirator' with the rapist," so "she took pains to make sure she never portrayed the actions as wrong in order to show how everyone has their own problems." The book narrates cases of ped0philia, rape, and incest which the author described as "friendly," "innocent," and "tender."
Since Common Core is a set of standards, not a curriculum, schools will be able to choose whether or not to suggest the book, but some have argued that even its presence on the recommended list crosses a line. A local petition to remove the book from the Common Core reading list in Broomfield, Colo., has gathered 1,205 signatures.
Cole said she was "speechless," that this book would be on the recommended reading list, and she set an ultimatum. "The material that is sexually graphic, we don't agree with it and it needs to be pulled from the curriculum immediately," she stated firmly.
Cole also condemned the pedophile's use of the Lord's name to justify his actions "I work only through the Lord. He sometimes uses me to help people," the character claims.The director of One Million Moms called this "an extremely sneaky way to involve violence in the school system."
The director asked why books like this one, as opposed to the classics, are recommended to children. She mentioned "millions of books to recommend" as opposed to this one.
Cole stressed that neither One Million Moms nor the American Family Association
has yet taken a stand against
Common Core in general
, but when it comes to The Bluest Eye, she proved more definitive. "Nothing good will come of this," she proclaimed.
While also condemning Common Core's recommendation of the book, Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., took a slightly different view. "This dispute is not about whether the author is skilled as a writer and it's not about whether this is even good literature for adults," but only "whether this graphic sexual subject matter is appropriate for schools," he told CP on Monday.
Sprigg argued that "if it's going to be read by minors at all,
it's got to be completely voluntary without the school encouraging it in any way
." While kids may end up seeing this sort of material anyway, it is inappropriate for the school itself to expose them to it.
Cases like this, Sprigg explained, inflame the debate over national education standards.
While he emphasized that
the Family Research Council
has not yet taken a stand on the issue
, he defended as legitimate the fear that Common Core "will not leave room for community standards to be applied especially moral community standards."
While Cole argued that Morrison, the book's author, likely used the book to argue for moral relativism,
Sprigg gave her the benefit of the doubt. He argued that Morrison might have just wanted the reader to feel empathy for a wrongdoer
not to condone actions like rape and pedophilia.
The Family Research Council scholar said he supports adults being able to read books like this, but he argued stringently against taxpayer dollars being spent to suggest such works to children. "Anything that, if it was depicted on screen, would be rated R or worse, it should not be presented to the students in high school or K-12 education," he argued. Nevertheless, he admitted that it should be a local decision, not something enforced by the state.

American Idol 2013: Vincent Powell Performs "Cause I Love You"
I honestly thought this guy was a gag performer when he walked in to his American Idol 2013 audition. The rimmed glasses and shaved head had me thinking "Randy Jackson impersonator looking for a few laughs." Nope, this guy is for real. Vincent Powell just happens to share a similar fashion sense as Randy and that's okay.
It's especially okay when you're good enough to become part of the Top 20 singers this season and move on to the live shows. Last night Vincent did just that with his performance of "Cause I Love You" and after a string of weak performances that was exactly what we needed.
Check out his Top 20 earning spot from last night and then get ready for more Vincent as we head to the American Idol 2013 live shows next week!

December 2015 - Carnival Glory to Caribbean - Eastern
My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our cruise very much. Wish there was just a little more to do while on the ship My daughter was super please with club O2, she made so many new friends and has been messaging and facebooking with all of them, for her this was a lifetime trip that she will forever remember and cherish. We did different things at each port which we also enjoyed, there was only one port that I wasn't very impressed with but it didn't take anything away from the trip by any means. Thank you Cheap Cruises and Carnival

Please, I can't take it anymore. I gave him his space, and he hasn't communicate with me. He told me that he is busy and that in order to go with him, I need to give him date and hour, but the last time, when we went out, he was only thinking in his own things and even he treat me in a cold way. I told him that the next time, he will be the one to organize the next going out, he told me that it was his turn to invite me the next time. Until now, I didn't get an answer. It seems that he will only go out with me if I ask him and organize it as always.
Now I got informed by another friend in mail that they want to organize a friends reunion. Because it was a mail that responded to another mails, I saw that he responded in the past and that he will be TOTALLY FREE for that day, that he will be focused in going there to remember to old times, this is the second reunion we make, even he told everyone (to the ones he contacted) that no one has to said that is busy and to make space to go (you know, the opposite of what he says to me).
Well, I don't like to got to the reunion because of what happened the last year that I got a nervous breakdown, however, I feel rather sad and totally betrayed because I feel he hasn't time for me, but of course, he has time for the others and his jobs. Maybe I am just exaggerating, but I can take feeling like this.
Now I have another problem, where I do professional practice, there is one of the friends who got informed about the reunion, so during the next days there would be the probability to get informed about it from him. I don't want to go, and of course if I say to him that I won't go because I will be busy, he would inform him about it and the next time I get in contact with him about why he doesn't invite me, he will give this as an excuse, that I am always busy and because I don't tell him (exactly what he does).
I want to tell him that of course he has time for the others, but for me no. That I want to go out, but just the two of us, however, he always seems busy when I am with him, but when you are with the others, he seems that he has the time of the whole world to be with them until the end. But if I tell him right now, he will tell me about the reunion, and then I will say no, and he will invert the whole thing, that I am the one who has no time and the one who doesn't want to go out.
I repeat, I wasn't sneaking in his mail or in his profile, I got inform about the reunion from another friend. I don't want to be possessive or jealous, I don't want to harass him so that's why I gave him his space (even more), but I am feeling very bad about it. What can I do?
Please, help me to cut the emotional tie and other things.
Please, I can't take it anymore. I gave him his space, and he hasn't communicate with me.

you need chill out. guys don't like girls who aren't chilled out. when he's with you, he's with you. don't nag him or complain or moan because he'll think that you aren't fun. if you aren't fun to be around then he won't want to be around you. noone likes to be around someone who whines a lot. be funny, confident and affectionate.
if you don't feel comfortable being at the reunion then don't go. so why should you be upset if he doesn't invite you to the reunion? I mean it's not like you want to go anyway because like you said last time you had a nervous breakdown. if your work colleague asks you if you're going, tell him you're not sure yet. just leave it at that. if your boyfriend asks you to go with him to the reunion, thank him for asking you then make an excuse that you have a family function then suggest another night. if he doesn't ask you, that's ok because you didn't want to go anyway, right?
now about being with him just the two of you... you can't force a guy to do something. he's gotta want to do it. the more you push him to do it, the more you push him away. you're doing the right thing by giving him space. give him time to miss you. just wait for him to invite you out. and when you do go out, be a fun girlfriend.
remember that he's your boyfriend, he's not your oxygen tank. you need to have hobbies too. go out with other friends too.
Thanks for your advice, but I got another problem, I send him by cell a message about if he was free the next weekend (as if I didn't know about the reunion), now I saw he send in email a message about the next reunion (but it wasn't that message specifically for me, it was for another friends also, a group message). The reunion is supposed to be the after the next weekend. And as for personality, I show him even my good and my bad personality, and he also has show his true self with me.
- Show AllShow Less
BTW, thanks for telling me this, however, to be clear about it, I didn't want him to invite me to the reunion. I think that then I make the mistake of asking him if we could see the next weekend. Maybe I can retract me or not sending him more messages, what do you think?
Yeah just chill out. don't ask him anything. let him come back to you. give him time to miss you. even if it takes 3 weeks. sometimes men don't know what they have till it's gone. you're being too clingy and too oppressive. really chill out and I mean that. let him go to the reunion. leave him. have faith. no contact always works. he'll start to wonder why you haven't been in touch. I know it's hard but you have to be so strong and not get in touch.

you could do some lemon and lime slices as cookies to go with the martini theme ones
fantastic, like the lemon idea.
The olives will be in the martini glass.
you can just flood them with the yellow and lime RI then maybe paint them ontop with diltued paste colour to get that realistic streaky effect with the inside and the top of the rind bit on the inside.....here is some i did in fondant for some cupcakes for an example....just an idea, otherwise just do them in RI to make it a bit more simple or fondant...i'll shut up now lol
Elise87, it looks like real lemon! Wow, you did a great job.
thanks Maybe i should have actually make them taste like lemon lol
Maybe a drink shaker? It has that distinctive silhouette.
You could ask if she likes "girly" things like purses or you could see if she likes margaritas, too, and add some margarita cookies! And if she DOES like margaritas, you could tie in the summer-y feel of margaritas with flip flops and umbrellas, etc.
Here is the link for a really cute margarita cookie cutter if you don't already have one!
I'm just jumping in to tell Elise87 that I think her cookies rock! And ZlatkaT, I have faith in your abilities to do a fantastic job on these cookies.
Okay I have to know how Elise did those lemon cookies!! I know Confetti Cakes has fruit slice cookies in one of her books but these are even more amazing!
How about an asprin bottle after all those Martinis...
How about an asprin bottle after all those Martinis...
that's funny. Let me check with my in laws, if the lady would took it as a joke. I like that idea, can't stop laughing.
whoops just to jump in here to clear up that the lemon slice pic above wasn't really a cookie it was actually made from fondant but kinna interested to see if i could make cookies looking exactly like the fondant one....would that be ok if i made some lemon slice cookies too if you decide to end up doing them ZlatkaT?
P.S ZlatkaT, your avatar cookie is so cute!
Elise87, you are too cute, the lemon is your idea, please go ahead and do it

Thank you again.

BARRE, Vt. (CBS/AP) John Buttura, a former Vermont teacher, has been sentenced to 4 to 6 months of house arrest for having sex with a 16-year-old student.
Buttura pleaded guilty in March to sexual exploitation of a minor and four counts of violating the conditions of his release.
The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus says District Court Judge Geoffrey Crawford cited several factors in not sending the 55-year-old Buttura to prison, including the timing of the offense.
When Buttura's relationship with the student began in Feb. 2009, his actions were legal because the age of consent in Vermont is 16.
But a new law that went into effect the next month prohibits people in positions of power from having sexual contact with a minor.

Guinea PM turns himself in at military camp
Guinea's prime minister has turned himself in along with several members of his government after an order to so from a military junta that has seized control of the west African nation.
Moussa Dadis Camara, an army captain in his forties, appeared to be tightening his grip on the mineral-rich nation following the death of longtime Lansana Conte.
Mr Conte had ruled with an iron fist since 1984 and within hours of his passing late Monday at the age of 74, a group of soldiers took control of the airwaves and claimed to have seized power.
"I am convinced, reassured that I am the president of the republic, the head of the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD)," Mr Camara said at his first press conference late Wednesday.
Later, in a statement read on radio and state television the CNDD junta said: "All army officers and all former members of the government are asked to go to camp Alpha Yaya Diallo in the next 24 hours."
An AFP correspondent witnessed Prime Minister Ahmed Tidiane Souare arriving at the camp - Guinea's main military base by the international airport outside Conakry - at around midday Thursday along with several government ministers.
Mr Camara had warned that if all top military brass and government members do not turn themselves in by the end of Thursday, "a sweep of the entire national territory will be organised."
The clampdown came amid growing international condemnation of the coup with the African Union warning of "stern measures" if the military ignored calls to allow a democratic transition of power.
The United States threatened to suspend its aid, some $19.7 million this year, if coup leaders did not take steps to return civilian rule.
"One of the things we want to see immediately is a restoration of a civilian democratic rule," said State Department spokesman Robert Wood.
Mr Camara plans to lead a 32-member interim administration, made up of 26 military officers and six civilians, and has ruled out any new elections until December 2010.
In a show of force, Mr Camara paraded through the capital on Wednesday with hundreds of soldiers before announcing he was the new "president of the republic".
A crowd of thousands of coup supporters thronged the streets of Conakry, surrounding the presidential palace and the government ministries, before dispersing peacefully.
Among them were many young people from the suburbs of the capital, disaffected after years of dictatorial rule.
"We no longer want the Conte system in Guinea. And if you are cutting down a tree, you must tear out all its roots," said Edouard, a 22-year-old student.
A curfew called by Guinea's new military leaders has been delayed until Friday "to allow Christians to celebrate a peaceful Christmas holiday," according to a statement read on national radio.
