BMW isn't known for revolutionary design changes, so it likely won't be hard to pick the upcoming 3 Series and X3 crossover out of a crowd of domestic and Japanese competitors. Nor will the models' powerplants see a complete overhaul.
One somewhat surprising claim, given recent events, is that both next-generation models will retain a diesel option in the United States — and a new one, at that. Read More >

Feelings are something which cannot be described in words….. yesterday while walking through the shopping mall i came a shop which displayed a wedding gown….. watching it i had a mixed bag of feelings…the first one was imagining myself in that dress……… wow!!! dat's so amazing…..my thoughts went back to the olden golden days….The day when we first met…and how the things started!!!
The feeling was so beautiful. I still remember it. Some feelings are inexpressible and this was one of them!
Today : I think the pressure that our society puts on a girl's wedding day is too much. Many girls grow up expecting to feel like a princess that day and expecting it to be the best day of their lives, and I think this puts undue pressure on the planning process and the actual day. AND, it takes the focus off of the real reason for the day: the marriage.


text: URMC Gets $1.9M Grant to Combat Smoking in Dominican Republic Researchers Launch Project to Build Programs to Cut Smoking, Disease Thursday, September 26, 2002 Tweet Smoking researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center received a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to launch a five-year study to reduce smoking in the Dominican Republic. A multidisciplinary team from the University of Rochester and James P. Wilmot Cancer Center will work with Dominican Republic leaders to assess attitudes about tobacco use, train healthcare workers to help their patients stop smoking, and provide culturally appropriate, sustainable local interventions for smoking cessation. "The key to this project is that we've been through this in the United States. We know the tobacco epidemic very well," said Deborah Ossip-Klein, Ph.D., associate professor of Community and Preventive Medicine and Oncology, chief of the Division of Social and Behavioral Medicine, and director of its Smoking Research Program. "Now, low and middle-income countries are experiencing the shift from chronic diseases to tobacco-related diseases and we will work to help these countries as they struggle with how to address this problem." The NIH, through the Fogarty International Center, developed the International Tobacco and Health Research and Capacity Building Program to help reduce smoking and its related health problems. It is funding more than $20 million in projects to foster international partnerships to support research and prevention efforts around the world. "Smoking represents one of the greatest challenges to health, both in the United States and worldwide," said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson. "This new NIH program supports critically needed research and training to identify ways to prevent or reduce smoking rates worldwide, especially in the developing world." Dominican Republic leaders have seen smoking rates skyrocket in the past three decades and studies indicate it has one of the highest smoking rates in Latin America. Researchers estimate that up to two-thirds of all men smoke and the number of women smoking is on the rise, many of them during pregnancy. The Dominican health experts have seen cancer and cardiovascular disease rising, with no peak in sight, said Ossip-Klein, principal investigator for the study. More than a dozen researchers will collaborate with Dominican Republic leaders, doctors and educators to understand the cultural perceptions and attitudes about smoking, teach people about the dangers of smoking, offer cessation interventions, and develop a model that could be used in other countries. "These are pioneering projects," said Ossip-Klein. "We'll be forging the path for how to best create these partnerships and work together to help reduce smoking. We believe the key is a multidisciplinary team – behaviorists, anthropologists, epidemiologists, physicians, and futurists – working with the local communities to create something that will work in the Dominican Republic and ultimately other countries globally." She is working closely with Sergio Diaz, M.D., from the Dominican Republic; Scott McIntosh, Ph.D., assistant professor and assistant director of the Smoking Research Program in Community and Preventive Medicine and the Wilmot Cancer Center; Tim Dye, Ph.D., chief of the Division of Public Health Practice, Community and Preventive Medicine; Ann Dozier, R.N., Ph.D., associate director of the Division of Public Health Practice, Community and Preventive Medicine; Nancy Chin, Ph.D., assistant professor in Division of Public Health Practice; and Susan Fisher, Ph.D., chief of epidemiology, Department of Community and Preventive Medicine. The project builds on the use of the LINCOS system (Little Intelligent Communities), which was developed as a joint academic and corporate effort by the Costa Rican Foundation for Sustainable Development, University of Rochester's Center for Future Health, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, Technological Institute of Costa Rica, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and Intel. LINCOS was designed is to bring the digital age to developing countries' disadvantaged rural and urban areas, providing access to technology, information and communication previously unavailable, to open up economic opportunities, monitor and adopt environmental quality measures, and improve access to health information and care. Each LINCOS container provides a computer science laboratory, telemedicine unit, videoconference and information centers, and electronic mail and news, along with six computers with current office suite and game software, printer and fax machines, VCR/DVD and television monitor, health exam area, and telephones for rural communities lacking this service. "The first year will be a very careful qualitative and quantitative assessment of the country's tobacco use landscape. We will listen to people in all levels of society tell about their beliefs and experiences related to tobacco," Ossip-Klein said. "Then we'll work with our in-country partners to build systems to implement education and cessation efforts for smokers." ## Media Contact Leslie White (585) 273-1119

Bieber taunts Bloom: You crybaby!
Justin Bieber has posted an image on Instagram of Orlando Bloom crying.
TMZ reported the men got into a physical altercation with each other at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza early Wednesday morning and apparently Bloom even "threw a punch" at the pop star.
The now infamous "punch" has drawn the spotlight on a confusing web involving Miranda Kerr, Justin Bieber (of childhood fame and general brat behaviour), Orlando Bloom, and former Australian power-couple James and Erica Packer.
Footage from the Daily Mail captures the alleged incident, in which Bloom (sans blonde plaited locks) approaches Bieber from across the crowded restaurant, before attempting to throw a punch.
The surfaced footage is inaudible however the Telegraph in London is reporting Bieber shouted, "What's up bitch?" before the two's subsequent entourages separated them and Bieber left.
Other reports from the Daily Mail say that Bieber said "something rude to Orlando, like, 'She was good.'"
The Ibiza incident could be related to rumours of a night out between Bieber and Kerr, who split from husband, Bloom in October after three years of marriage - rumours which were only fuelled when 20-year-old Bieber uploaded a photo of a bikini-clad Kerr to Instagram.
He deleted that photo but posting a photo of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor shedding tears during a red carpet appearance instead.
The 20-year-old Baby singer didn't caption the image, instead leaving the public to come up with their own interpretations.
The photo Bieber used was taken last year when Bloom was being comforted by co-star Condola Rashad after he became emotional during the premiere of his Broadway play, Romeo and Juliet.
It appears the Kerr wasn't allowing the bad blood to get to her, however, as she made a
bold Instagram statement of her own following news of the fight.
She shared a photo on the social networking site of herself holding hands with her three-year-old son Flynn, whom she shares with Bloom. The mother-and-son had their backs to the camera and Kerr's accompanying caption read: "O G".
Paris Hilton and P Diddy were reportedly among other celebrities eating in the restaurant at the time of the brawl.
But more bizarre still, after months of speculation of a romantic relationship between Kerr and James Packer, come rumours that Bloom is currently holidaying in Spain with Erica Packer.
The two have reportedly been spotted on the island of Formentera, near Ibiza and are said to be staying on board the Packer's super Yacht Arctic P.
These new developments follow news of 31-year-old Kerr seen sneaking around New York catching up with James last week. However the former Victoria's Secret model has always denied any romantic relationship with the 46-year-old mogul.
Paparazzi everywhere will no doubt be waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the Pac-Kerr soap opera.

Divining Pendulum: Amazonite with Clear Quartz
$ 40.00
A Divining Pendulum is a gemstone suspended on a chain so that it may move freely - answering questions to receive a yes or no answer.
- Natural Amazonite
- 12mm Round Clear Quartz Gemstone
- .925 Sterling Silver Layered Chain
- Hand-crafted in our West Hollywood Studio
There are two distinct schools of thought about the use of a pendulum and who or what is responding to the questions.
Famous Case of Pendulum Use
A French priest, Abbé Mermet employed the use of pendulum divination very successfully during the early 1900s. He located water, minerals and missing people using maps. The Vatican hired him to locate several lost treasures.
Other documented cases of historical use of a pendulum:
- British Intelligence used pendulums to predict Hilter's next move.
- King Solomon used a pendulum to find water during a visit to Queen of Sheba.
- Vietnam War marines used pendulums to ferret out underground tunnels and land mines.
Ancient Civilizations Used Pendulums
Ancient cultures used pendulum divination frequently.
- Ancient Egyptians believed the pendulum was magical.
- The Chinese used pendulums to determine where evil spirits were hiding to chase them from the home.
- Romans had great faith in the pendulum as a tool to receive divine guidance for problems.
- One of the most commonly asked questions was the sex of an unborn baby. If the pendulum moved in a circular motion, the baby was a girl. A straight line either back and forth or sideways indicated a male child.
How to Use Your Pendulum
You'll want to use your pendulum with great respect.
- Don't ask the same question more than once per session. Accept the first answer and move on.
- Don't depend solely on the pendulum's response to make important decisions.
- Only use the pendulum with good intentions.
- Don't allow others to use your pendulum. Their energy will interfere with yours and give inaccurate responses to your questions.
How to Hold Your Pendulum
There are many ways to hold the pendulum. You should try several to determine the most comfortable for you.
- Use the hand you write with to suspend pendulum.
- Hold the pendulum chain between your thumb and index finger.
- Sit at a table and rest your elbow on it.
- Hold the pendulum chain using one of the above methods.
- Ask the Pendulum to show you its YES, then to show its NO.
- Generally, a YES is a clockwise rotation and a NO being a counter clockwise rotation.
Expression, Balance, Inspiration
Primary Chakras: Heart, Throat, Thymus, Third Eye
Astrological signs: Virgo
Amazonite is a "Stone of Success and Abundance", attracting focus and good luck.
Amazonite is great for non-verbal expression. It is a good energy filter, blocking geopathic stress as well as electromagnetic pollution emitted from computers, microwaves, or cell phones. Amazonite soothes aggravation and emotional trauma, eases irritation, and calms all of the chakras. Amazonite also assists the user in seeing different sides of the same issue, and balances masculine and feminine energy as well as different personality traits.
Pale azure blue amazonite is known as the lucky "Hope Stone". It will be lucky for all your hopes and dreams. Amazonite is blue-green to pale green stone in the feldspar group.
Amazonite can be used to connect and communicate with Fairies and Nature Spirits. Amazonite can aid in a peaceful transition when it is time to leave this life. Amazonite aligns the physical and subtle bodies, and assists in balancing the yin and yang (male and female) energies, helping one to escape the illusion of separation from the Divine.
Healing, Enhancing, Amplification
Primary Chakras: All
Astrological signs: All
Extremely popular metaphysically, Clear Quartz is the most versatile healing stone among all crystals. Quartz is the most powerful healing stone of the mineral kingdom, able to work on any condition. Clear Quartz is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. Clear Quartz protects against negativity, attunes to your higher self, and relieves pain.
Clear Quartz has been shown to enhance and strengthen the aura. As gifts from our Mother Earth, Clear Quartz comes to us with information for the higher self to assimilate in the process of one's spiritual growth. Clear Quartz is often used to cleanse, open, activate, and align all of the chakras.
The word Merkaba or Merkava - Hebrew 'Chariot' or 'to ride an animal, in a chariot' - is used in the Bible (Ezekiel 1:4-26) to refer to the throne-chariot of God, the four-wheeled vehicle driven by four Cherubim, each of which has four wings and four faces (of a man, lion, ox, and eagle). Four means 'time' in alchemy.
Jewish biblical commentaries emphasize that the imagery of the Merkaba is not meant to be taken literally; rather the chariot and its accompanying angels are analogies for the various ways that God reveals Himself in this world.
A Merkaba Star, or Mer-ka-bah Healing Crystal, carries the meaning and energy of a vehicle of Divine Light which is used by Seekers, Healers and Realm Walkers - the Masters - to travel into the Astral realms and thereby connect with the higher realm beings of Light.
It is a tool for Ascension.
- Mer means connecting thread- Light
- Ka means The Spirit or Astral Self
- Ba means The Body or Physical Self
Using a Mer-Ka-Ba surrounds your being with energy spirals and is very symbolic spiritually of the Wheels within the Wheels image which transports a Seeker to higher thoughts, lessons, and states of being as they travel on their Journey-Quest.

Labrune C, Amouroux JM, Sarda R, Dutrieux E, Thorin S, Rosenberg R, Gremare A. (2006) Characterization of the ecological quality of the coastal Gulf of Lions (NW Mediterranean). A comparative approach based on three biotic indices. Marine Pollution Bulletin 52:34-47 a reçu le prix de la publication la plus citée pour la période 2005-2009.
Résumé :
The ecological quality of the Gulf of Lions coast was assessed using three biotic indices (H′, AMBI and BQI). The three indices correlated positively. The positive correlation between AMBI and BQI was surprising and was mostly due to the fact that the dominant species Ditrupa arietina featured a low ES500.05 but was classified in GI by AMBI. Both H′ and BQI were efficient in distinguishing impacted from un-impacted sites but AMBI was not. Differences between H′ and BQI were mainly due to the scale used to translate indices in terms of EcoQ. The three indices were able to detect the major changes in macrofauna composition, which occurred in the Bay of Banyuls-sur-Mer during the last 40 years. However, the interpretations of such changes in terms of EcoQ differed between indices. These results are discussed relative to the characteristics of the tested indices.

All dramas this cycle have not been easy for me. It worth whole year of good dramas! Argh!
What's memorable about this drama?
- Kisses
This got to be my fav kisses of all. Pretty.
- How badass Bong Hee is. (cr: tumblr)
Just another drama addict…
All dramas this cycle have not been easy for me. It worth whole year of good dramas! Argh!
What's memorable about this drama?
This got to be my fav kisses of all. Pretty.
Finished watching this drama. I really like all characters, their connections and all. It's sad how it is end, but that what will make this drama memorable for me. Love the OST!
It's been very rare cases for me where I ship the 2nd lead so hard. Watching Hwarang I despise all writers for making 2nd lead so kind, so cool, so understanding, life saviour and what not. I mean why??? Why????????????? So unfair!! What did my king lack? Nothing! Seriously. *rolls eyes* He's been so openly declaring his feelings for you how can you not sway and feel nothing! Ahhh.
This post written at my episode 10 watching.
This is definitely drama crack of the year.
While watching Cinderella and Four Knights, because Park So Dam is short haired, I kind of missed Hwang Jung Eum's acting. 😅
So, I started watching Lucky Romance.
I thought that I wouldn't like this drama… but wha-? I am totally hooked.
Who said the side characters and only Jun Ki shines? Tsk tsk. I like all of them, well not to this is the best drama evaaaa extent, but probably because I have low expectation of this, that it took me by a surprise.
Now I'm curious with the original Bu Bu.
Honestly, I am a bit turned off hy Jun Ki when he appeared in Running Man. Why are you too skinny? Why? Look so fragile. And Ha Neul is adorb when he was so embarassed doing all the chants and childish thing in Running Man.
But man, hail, Wang So!
I wouldn't recommend and only watching for prettiness. The background music is ugh, too much and romantic scene bgm. Please stop playing like the magic stardust coming out of it. Although pre-produced, the editing looks sloppy. Pretty much like Boys Over Flowers. Ha Won's friend is annoying with her talk. I wish she could stop talking that way and speak normally.
That aside, I am still curious about the backstory between HW's mother's connection with JW's mother. Don't tell me they're not connected when they died on the same day.
Who doesn't love crossdress drama?!!! And a sageuk at that?!!!
This drama is beautiful, acting is spot on, and chemistry! I like that there's depth to Lee Young. He's not typical playful prince but serious and smart.
W: Is it hyped? Popular right now? While I'm watching the episodes, it kind of feel that the writer seems don't know what to do in between. The general plot is great, manhwa world and real world. But what's with the romance? Urgh. *rolls eyes* Which episode was that? The sudden marriage? The sudden Kang Cheol falls for Yeon Joo? Why? How? The professor is right. Everything's a mess. I was on verge of dropping it, until the No Face appear and makes things interesting. Kind of skip the romance scenes and only watch what happened with No Face.
And I'm not feeling the chemistry between the main leads. Just the same as Lee Jong Suk and Lee Bo Young in I Hear Your Voice. His chemistry the best with Park Shin Hye (this girl, who doesn't when with her?). He looked so smitten with her in that drama. Lol. And Lee Jong Suk looks so much like coming out of a manhwa in this drama. Good gosh.

Lawmakers Warn Metro On Funding
Friday, July 29, 2005
Congressional representatives from the Washington region said yesterday that they will fight for an infusion of federal money for Metro but that the transit system needs better management and accountability.
Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), who chaired a hearing on Metro yesterday before the House Committee on Government Reform, said new, independent oversight is key to correcting problems inside Metro.
"The [existing] oversight is not very good," Davis said. "We need professionals in there really doing oversight, so we don't have the same old people saying, 'We're going to get it right,' for the fifth time."
Davis called the hearing after a series of articles was published last month in The Washington Post that detailed how Metro mismanaged nearly $1 billion in recent rail car and escalator contracts. The newspaper's investigation also found that the agency ignored safety warnings and failed to effectively manage its program to transport the disabled.
Concerns about management at Metro come as the transit system faces severe financial shortfalls. Davis filed a bill yesterday that asks Congress to provide $1.5 billion to keep trains, tracks, stations and buses in good repair and relieve the crowding that threatens to overwhelm the transit system. Metro would have to make management changes, and the region would have to come up with a steady source of revenue for the system.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) said Metro's chief executive, Richard A. White, needs to hold managers accountable. "Sometimes, there comes a time when you have to fire people," Cummings said.
White said a half-dozen senior managers have been asked to leave their jobs or to take an early retirement since The Post began its inquiries late last year. "I pledge to you, sir, that we're going to be much more accountable than we have in the past," he told Cummings.
"In some cases we have a checkered record in how quickly we respond to safety recommendations," White told the committee. "We're not proud to say we were slow to respond or that management was kind of ignoring recommendations, and that's not acceptable."
White said he has redesigned the way Metro handles safety concerns. "If someone is not acting appropriately or quickly, there will be intervention and consequences for that manager," he said.
Cummings asked about MetroAccess, the curb-to-curb service for the disabled that the Post series found was riddled with service problems and mismanagement.
White said he was trying to improve the service. "We have a whole new way we're going to try to deliver that service," he said, adding that Metro is working with disabled people to design a new contract for MetroAccess. Metro is being sued by disabled riders who claim the quality of MetroAccess is so poor that it violates the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Critics of Metro said yesterday's hearing was too easygoing. "It was milquetoast," said Ken Reid, an organizer of LOWER, a group that is fighting the extension of rail to Dulles. He said Metro should be forced to operate with greater cost efficiency and more accountability and transparency, regardless of additional federal funding.

As exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More

Scientists agree that the only reason adults have children is so they have a socially acceptable reason to visit amusement parks, eat at novelty pizza arcades, and see movies with Shreks in them. Put some fun in the oven with today's kid-friendly Groupon: for $35, you get two months of kid's gymnastics, cheerleading, or tumbling classes at K2 Academy of Kids Sports in Cypress (up to a $155 value). Class schedules will vary between summer (June 6 through August 18) and school-year (after August 19) sessions. Today's deal is valid for one class per week for eight consecutive weeks in summer or two consecutive months of weekly classes during the school year.
K2 Academy of Kids Sports furnishes trampolines, balance beams, and more cartwheel-inspiring equipment for burgeoning gymnasts, cheerleaders, and tumblers of all ages and skill levels. Tiny tumblers can join the Bumble Bees (for beginners ages 3–5), a fundamentals course incorporating counting, the alphabet, and following directions, or flex their exoskeletons with the Roly Polys (for walking youth up to 24 months of age), a parent and child session involving climbing, hopping, and jumping. Gym Kids gymnastics classes are designed for older acrobats and are available in four levels to enhance flexibility for upcoming crab-walking marathons. Children can support their favorite sports team or bus driver during cheerleading classes or soar to new heights in the tumbling and trampoline classes.
Skilled instructors determine class sizes depending on the age of each group, but classes have no more than eight students to ensure apt attention for each child and eschew accidental body-to-pretzel morphing. Flipping students with no prior experience start in the beginner courses, and gymnasts with prior experience can call ahead for an evaluation and proper class placement.
K2 Campus at K2 Academy
K2 is home to two brands: K2 Academy, a gymnastics, cheer, and tumbling facility, and K2 Campus, a fitness-focused preschool and childcare center. The K2 Academy indoor facility is filled with trampolines and balance beams. With the accompaniment of parents or legal-guardians, children can roam free during open-play hours, or join gymnastics, cheerleading, and tumbling classes. Instructors tailor lesson plans to each age group for an emphasis on fun, collaborative learning. Located within the K2 Academy facility, the K2 Campus offers children ages 18 months to 5 years old a variety of fitness-centered preschool and childcare programs. Offering both part-time and full-time programs, K2 Campus feeds growing minds with academically challenging activities and physical education classes each day. The preschool curriculum is designed to prepare children for kindergarten both socially and academically, and large classrooms offer students plenty of room to learn. Parents stay informed on how their children are progressing through daily emails teachers send that include descriptions on all the daily activities plus pictures of their child participating in the fun.

Kypris, an emerging grassroots-type organic and wildcrafted skincare brand with a talent for oils and serums that has put them on the high end skincare map – is branching out into other areas of skincare, namely with cleansers, creams, and masks. Usually when a company does this so soon, I raise an eyebrow and don't expect too much. However, clearly someone down at the Kypris labs has been clued in on all things skincare, because every product I try form them makes me want more of their inventive and high tech approach to organic.
The first new product I tried outside their oils is the Cleanser Concentrate. I am a cleanser addict, cleanser snob, all of the above, et. al: I hold cleanser to the highest standards and scrutinize them excessively – see here and here for example. And, the Kypris Cleanser, after one or two uses, became my everyday cleanse immediately. This is due to the fact that I am frequently torn between balms and gel or cream cleanses and this one is hybrid of both. It works like a balm cleanse, because you massage it into dry skin and the moringa and shea oils break down makeup, residue, sweat and all the rest, and then you rinse, or better yet wipe it off with a warm compress. But this cleanser has a gel consistency and texture, and even a velvet-like quality to it. It feels so soft at first you may not think it's cleansing very deep. But after you rinse, it leaves behind the cleanest, softest, most delicate skin feeling. No dryness, tightness, or slickness from the oils (which also include organic prickly pear and Baobab). Just soft buttery skin perfectly prepped for the next steps of skincare, which for me usually means the Kypris Beauty Elixir I .
Before I tell you about the sunscreen, let me just say I really was starting to think that there was no way to create a really good organic sunscreen, it just seemed you always had to compromise when it came to getting all natural and sun protection in the same bottle – until I got a hold of Kypris' Pot of Shade Heliotropic. Wow, wow. wow. They have done it, and done it right. The name is so cute and makes you want to try it – but this product is no gimmick. I absolutely love it. First of all, it's packed with an insane amount of active, organic ingredients that I will just list for you right here:
Zinc Non nano, non-irritating, sustainably sourced zinc for broad spectrum SPF 30 protection against sun damage.
Sweet Iris Stem Cells Enhance the skin to appear more plump, smooth, and luminous.
Tamanu An organic, co-op grown seed oil imparts a beautiful glow.
Chaparral One of Earth's oldest living plants yields a wildcrafted extract rich in botanical wisdom and lignans that impart an antioxidant-like effect.
Sunflower These local, organic heliotropes deliver a wealth of fatty acids and beta carotene.
Probiotics For deliciously hydrated skin.
Sea Algae A burst of soothing hydration for soft, supple skin as you bask in the Beauty of your days…
…and you can really feel the difference…between this and any other sunscreen you have tried. But the best part about the cream is that it gives skin a super soft focus, lovely glow all by itself – and read: no whitecast, whatsoever. Consequently it works as the perfect primer, since that little glow enhances your makeup beautifully. I mean as a primer, it's better than about 80% of the market out there when it comes to the silicone based primers, but it's organic, with skincare in and it has an SPF of 30! It is also gorgeous and goes on beautifully over your makeup. A genius, genius product that I can't overemphasize! Lastly – my personal over the top moment for this product came when I detected the delicate, creamy notes of Iris lightly laced in. (Iris is one my very favorite notes). The case became quickly closed for me after the scent factored in. And Kypris is quickly becoming a true hero brand.

Sport Education: Quality PE Through Positive Sport Experiences
Human Kinetics Publishers, 1994 - Physical education and training - 141 pages
This text details how sport can help students learn fair play, leadership and followship skills and self-responsibility in addition to becoming competent players. It shows physical educators how to implement effective sport education programmes within their physical education classes to achieve these goals. The author explains his sport education model and provides school-tested plans for applying the model to specific sports and activities. Part 1 describes the sport education model and the curriculum and instructional methods used to implement it. Part 2 presents examples of how the model has been used effectively in school settings. Part 3 explains models of evaluation and assessment. A chapter in this section shows how the sport education model can be used to develop an Olympic curriculum that incorporates the global education, multicultural education and personal development goals of Olympism and provides a unifying theme for the sport education proramme.
What people are saying - Write a review
This is a must-read for all Physical Education teachers, even if they do not have immediate plans to incorporate Sports Ed into their teaching. Sports Ed offers huge benefits to the PE lessons: the students get to solve authentic problems in groups, build relationships with their team mates, have a say in how they structure their learning experiences, learn about different roles in sports and enjoy their participation in a real sporting competition. Many of the less-able kids do not get the chance to represent school/class/club in any form of league or tournament. Sports Ed gives every student a chance to be part of an athletic team and engage them in a developmentally-appropriate sports tournament.
While the first chapter concentrates on convincing the readers, the rest of it is packed with countless practical tips and examples on how to make Sports Ed work in your school. Examples are drawn from different (American?) schools and different grade levels. Very useful resource for PE teachers.

Does anyone have the Sify & Olly Season 3 DVD?
How is the quality & extras?
I've got it, and it's a great disc, if you like S&O. Extras include a few clips from previous seasons (namely Gravy for Baby and United States of Whatever), and shorts from MTV Europe. The shorts are very low quality, as they were originally shot on VHS tape and meant to look low budget.
Where can you buy Sifl and Olly? I searched dvdpricesearch and Amazon, and I can't find it. Where did you get yours from?

Thanks Adam! A wee bit expensive, but I guess we are a niche market

Huskies rank 107th in total defense after two porous weeks
Fri., Oct. 8, 2010
SEATTLE – In the minutes that followed the University of Washington's upset win over USC last Saturday night, a faux reporter for one of the countless fansites that cover the Huskies football team scurried up to UW defensive coordinator Nick Holt and began gushing with praise.
The UW defense, the credentialed inquisitor surmised, had performed at such a higher level than it had in a loss to Nebraska two weeks earlier that it was "like totally a different team."
Seeing as though the Huskies' defense had just been torched for 298 rushing yards – 223 of them came from USC running back Allen Bradford – the difference was more like night and evening than night and day.
Yet Holt played along dutifully, talking about how the Huskies battled and "got back to Husky football," … until a faux broadcaster wearing a credential from the flagship radio station cut off the interview when he started hopping up and down and hugged the defensive coordinator from behind.
Despite the effervescent joy of the Huskies' groupies after UW shocked USC for the second year in a row, the fact remains that this team still has plenty of defensive deficiencies. It needs to be said – and you probably won't read this on the fan blogs or hear it on the pro-UW radio station – that the Huskies' defense is still a long, long way from being a formidable one.
After giving up 533 total yards to Nebraska and 484 to USC, the Huskies dropped to 107th in the nation in total defense (440.3 yards per game) and 113th in rushing defense (234.8 per game). And keep in mind that's out of 120 teams.
The defense that had so many question marks heading into the 2010 season appears to have even fewer answers after four games.
"We do hold ourselves to a higher expectation," senior safety Nate Williams said while standing on the practice field at Husky Stadium earlier this week, "and we're going to come out here every day working hard to try to achieve that."
Some of the Huskies' defensive struggles could be seen coming from a mile away – like the loss of top playmakers Donald Butler and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, an infusion of youth and a heavy stable of returning players but only a handful of whom bringing much previous success.
What has been even more frustrating is the influx of problems that weren't expected – most notably, a lack of forced turnovers and a sudden epidemic of missed tackles.
The latter was such an obvious problem in the Nebraska game that the Huskies spent a good part of the next two weeks and the bye weekend working on that fundamental part of football. The result was 16 more missed tackles in the win over USC.
"We tackle every day in practice," UW linebackers coach Mike Cox said three days ago. "We've lost a couple guys in practice because of it. That's the only way to get better at it. It's emphasized. At some point in time, someone else (other than the coaches) has to take ownership of it. It's not like we don't work on it."
Much like last season, when Holt was coaching the Huskies for the first time, UW has limited resources. A talented freshman class has only a few game-ready players, while veterans like Williams, linebacker Mason Foster and cornerback Desmond Trufant can't carry the load all by themselves.
While the coaches haven't resorted to shuffling the lineup on a week-to-week basis, as they did last year, they have certainly been proactive. Freshmen like safety Sean Parker, cornerback Gregory Ducre and defensive end Hau'oli Jamora have seen their playing time extended, while the USC game saw Holt mix up the defensive front four to add size on the ends.
UW's defense had two key stops late in Saturday's game, but the performance still wasn't good enough for the Huskies to swallow.
"Our expectation is to stop a team, not to let them drive 80 yards and then stop them," Williams said when asked whether he took pride in UW's ability to bend but not break. "That's really not what any unit would pride themselves on. Personally, I don't think our unit prides itself on that, either. That's something we need to work on more.
"Everyone needs to take care of their job, and we'll get that quote-unquote tag taken off of our unit."
Middle linebacker Cort Dennison said the only tag the Huskies defense will get will be the one that comes with the team's overall won-loss record.
"You're not going to look back at the end of the year and look at all the yards they gave up," he said. "You're going to look back and say, 'They beat USC.' The most important thing anyone could do is win. And we won. We realize we have a lot of room for improvement, and we're going to work on those things as best we can."

In truth, we've had this strip sitting in our "to do" pile ever since X-Men 3 came out in the theaters. Then Wolverine Origins (spoilers) came out, and we decided to tie it into the return of everybody's favorite sidekick, mall rat, annoying 90's TV show character.
Also I am unclear as to why Xorn is crying. Of course it might not be Xorn, it might be Xorn's brother pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn.
In other news, how is the new Iron Man Movie? I got burned twice when I bought both the Ultimates DVDs without watching them first and am unwilling to spend any money on Iron Man. Scott may do a review later in the week if he can get his hands on a copy.

Heads up, fellow medievalists. Geoffrey Chaucer recently interviewed MARGARATHE ATTE-WOOD who "nedeth no introduccioun, for her bookes and writinges are avaylable yn all the scriptoriums and scriveneres shoppes yn the globe of the erthe." Share and enjoy. Her disquisition on "the magical beastes of the far lande of Canade" will surely pique the interest of evil_little_dog and cornerofmadness.
House-of-Famed blogger Geoffrey Chaucer reports:
Long tyme nowe, Ich have been preparing a book of blog, and the labour ys al moost doon. Plese pardon, gentil rederes, my lak of postingnesse, but a smal delaye heere ys peraventure worth a solid volume the which ye kan underlyne and spille egg-salad upon and take yn to yower jacuzzi whanne the mood stryketh yow (for woe to the man who taketh his laptop yn to the jacuzzi, Ich have lerned to my gret cost on a chillye November night).Ich am preorderéd.
So, you all knew that Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog, right? Well, he's also got an opinion of Twilight (though, due to time/space distortions, his copy is entitled Vespers):
In this fyne book of sparklie vampyres, Bella Cygne moveth from Essex to Yorkshyre to lyve with her fathir, who ys a sheriff and escheator. At a scole ful of recentlie coyned stereotypes, she witnesseth the fayre skyn and fashion-sprede slow-mocioun hotenesse of the Cu Chulainn clan, the which have all eaten long ago of the magical Irisshe Salmon of Really Good Hair (oon byte of this magical salmon and ye shal have good hair for evir). Aftir Bella doth see the hottest of the clan, Edward, stop a wagon wyth hys bare handes, fight off twentie churles, and brood so much he did make Angel look lyk Mister Rogeres, she doth realise that the Cu Chulainns are vampyres. But they are good vampyres, who drinke wyne. Ther is considerablie moore sexual tensioun than in Piers Plowman.His verdict?
Yt was actuallie pretty decent. Sure, the prose kynd of maketh Dives et Pauper look lyk George Orwelle, but the storie pulleth me yn.... Ich am thinkinge that I shal add a litel sparkle to that Tales of Canterburye projecte ich have been werkinge on for several yeeres nowe. Ich am now writing the recentlye-renamed Wyf of Bathory's Prologue.Oh, Geoffrey ... I thought I knew ye ...

Comics: What? There's no need for *emo*?!Jul. 10th, 2009 08:04 am
Today's Doonesbury is a lesson for us all. (Particularly us writers, I'd say. Shakespeare has a lot to answer for; at least Chaucer had a sense of humor about adolescent romance.)
Curiosa: Crook! Thief! Bagman!Aug. 29th, 2007 10:01 am
In the margins of a copy of The Woorkes of Geffrey Chaucer (imprinted at London by John Kingston for John Wight, dwelling in Paul's churchyard, 1561), next to the passage from The Tale of Melibee condemning courtly flatterers who
enforce hem alway rather to speke pleasaunt wordes enclinynge to the lordes lustes, than wordes that ben trew or profitable ...someone has written (not altogether legibly):
The note has subsequently been scribbled upon in lighter ink. Some truths are best left unsaid, perhaps ... :-)
