The Legal Services Commission (LSC) is inviting both existing and new applicants to tender for new complementary services designed to support legal aid across England and Wales.
The funding will come from the Community Legal Service Grants budget, worth up to £1 million a year.
The Community Legal Service Grants will be available for services including those that help not-for-profit providers to adapt how they deliver civil legal aid following the recent reforms. They will also be available for services focused on areas such as special Children Act proceedings, asylum, mental health and help with social welfare issues that will enable people to avoid or climb out of social exclusion.
The LSC is also inviting tenders from organisations interested in providing a stream-lined Specialist Support Service. This service, to be funded to the tune of up to £2 million per year, provides second-tier support to legal aid advice providers through telephone advice and support with casework.
The closing date for applications for both the Community Legal Service Grants and the Specialist Support Service is 12 noon on Friday 15 February 2008. Further information, together with an application form is available from the LSC website:

That's something you might say to a client or business associate. Not only are you taking care of business, you're entitled to a tax discount on the tab. Reason: The IRS allows you to deduct 50 percent of your business meal expenses subject to record-keeping requirements.
Strategy: Schedule your meals to coincide with business meetings. If you follow the tax rules carefully, you can convert some nondeductible meal expenses into deductible ones.
Two basic types of deductible meal expenses exist:
1. "Directly related" meals. For a meal to qualify as a direct expense, you:
• Must have arranged the meal for business reasons.
• Must discuss business during the meal.
• Must have more than a general expectation that the cost of the meal will generate a business benefit. Taking out a client just for goodwill purposes isn't enough, even though it's "good for business."
2. "Associated-with" meals. That means the meal must follow or precede a substantial business discussion. You're under no time restraint, but the discussion and meal must be business-related when viewed together. So, you can't spend one minute discussing business and follow it up with a deductible two-hour lunch.
By scheduling business meals properly, you can maximize your deductions. Arrange meals so they relate directly to or associated with your business.
Example 1: You're negotiating with a client for an annual contract. On Wednesday, you wrap up the deal.
To show your appreciation, you and your spouse treat the client and his wife to dinner on Friday at a top restaurant. The tab for the four of you, including drinks and tip, comes to $500.
As things stand now, you gain no deduction for your meal expenses. But you can convert the cost into a deductible expense by changing things slightly.
Say you met with the client on Friday to finalize the deal and sign the papers. Then, you can deduct 50 percent of the cost of the meal on Friday night, even though the spouses tagged along purely for social reasons.
Example 2: You travel out of state to woo a potential client. When you make your initial pitch, you dine by yourself and drive home at night. Then, you drive back the next week to finish the negotiations. This time, you stay overnight and take the client out to dinner.
In that scenario, the cost of only the second meal qualifies for a write-off. But you can deduct 50 percent of both meals if you treat the client to dinner on your day trip, (because the meal is associated with your business), then treat the meal on your overnight stay as a business travel expense.

Discussion in 'SN95 4.6L Mustang Tech' started by Seraphitia102, Oct 17, 2004.
oh, seat belts died around 30k but warranty covered that when I went in at 48k miles.
anyone ever experience head gasket issues on their 4.6? according to 3.8 forums, it's common on their engines
friends both with 01 v6's have no problems. 1 was brand new, other was used
are they stock mustangs? the problems I've heard regarding head gaskets usually applied to people who tuned up their cars. perhaps the 3.8 head gaskets can't withstand the heat of the additional power?
You wont have any problems with the head gaskets on a 4.6. Unless you bore out the motor too much then you can run into issues.Reason why some big bores arent recommended with Forced induction. The cylinder walls are just too thin and you risk the chance of blowing a head gasket.
yes they're stock... there was nothing worthwhile for them to do to them
I can't stand stock V6's. They start out with crappy wheels and exhaust. Even my friend who put flowmaster 40's on them didn't sound TOO impressive. They still sound descent, but my satisfaction comes from a GT with flowmaster 40's.
my friend's mustang has a major transmission failure and he believes it's because of the chip that he put in his mustang. according to the ford dealer that repaired it, they said that his pcm was completely destroyed and that the car was trying to change to gear 1 and 2 at the same time.
does anyone know anything about this? i mean if it's actually possible to take out a car's transmission with a chip?
LOL ROFLMAO What the ***K are cats? I don't think I have ever heard of a mustang with them. J/K Also, I swear up and down, on a bible, whatever that I get 4-5 mpg better with premium than regular. This is based on 100% highway driving at 75 mph for the duration of the entire tank. And it was not a one try die deal, I have tried it 3 timers with each and I get 4-5 better with premium every time. I have to drive on the interstate through South Dakota for 390 miles, I really use this gas mileage thing as a fun goal I set for myself.
my 89 Toyota Tercel with 189000 miles, igniter died today. First known recorded probrem since new...
they are reliable, yes, but my god unexciting car they are.
but good in gas tho
First problem was at 46,000, when I replaced the IAC (rough starting). It was simple and cheap to fix.
02' GT around 8500 miles, the rear window shattered because I used the defroster. Ford blamed it on the tint.
IF you have a manual, you wont have to worry about that. Get a good Dyno tune or burnt chip and your tranny will be fine. Depending on how much power you are putting to the ground of course.
The igniter may have died, but the engine still works huh? lol
How did the tint ruin your window?
I think it was a short in the defroster. Upon looking at the shattered glass it started close to that metal piece where the defoster hooks up and spread all the way across the window. Good thing the tint was there because that was the only thing holding all the shattered pieces. The first dealership I took it to denied my claim. So, I took back to the one where I purchased the car and they covered everything was about $1500 bucks in charges if I remember correctly.
Did you just happen to use your defroster for the first time at 8,500 miles? Or did you use it over time and then your window shattered?
That was the first time. You can bet that will be the only time.

Governor Palin in USA Today: Congress, It's Time To Stop Lining Your Pockets
Monday, December 12, 2011
In a USA Today article, Governor Palin addressed the unethical behavior displayed by members of Congress, a subject taken on in Peter Schweizer's new book, Throw Them All Out. As I am currently reading this book, I add my "Amen" to Governor Palin's sentiments. I do intend to address this topic soon myself, for what is going on is disgusting; something must be done. Each page leaves my mind spinning and my blood boiling. Every American needs to read this book.
The Governor writes:
Thanks to the solid new research and recent revelations in Peter Schweizer's book Throw Them All Out and the subsequent coverage on 60 Minutes, we have concrete proof to explain how members of Congress accumulate wealth at a rate astonishingly faster than the rest of Americans and have stock portfolios that outperform even the best hedge-fund managers'. (Full disclosure: Schweizer is employed by my political action committee as a foreign policy adviser.)
From sweetheart land deals to initial public offering (IPO) stock gifts to insider trading with non-public government information, the methods of unethical wealth accumulation for our permanent political class are endless. The reaction from the Beltway establishment to the revelations concerning insider trading among members of Congress was predictable. First they denied it, then they dismissed the problem as much ado about nothing. Some said there was no need for new laws or action because the Securities and Exchange Commission could prosecute members of Congress under existing laws against insider trading.
But under current law, there is no way the SEC will ever go after a powerful congressman or senator. The SEC never has, even though insider trading prohibitions have existed since the 1930s. Here's why: Congress sets the SEC's budget, and senators approve the head of the SEC. Congress uses its power of the purse strings to threaten federal agencies that get in their way.
A hands-off SEC
Does anyone really think the SEC under current law will have the courage to investigate the insider trading in Congress? Remember that this corruption (and failure to deal with it) encompasses both sides of the aisle. We fool ourselves thinking we can trust an agency dependent on Congress for its budget to investigate Congress.
I hate the idea of more laws, but because our politicians have shown a failure of ethical leadership, we must reassert the rule of law through strong new legislation that holds Congress accountable and prevents retaliation against whistle-blowers and regulatory agencies investigating corruption. Legislation has been put forward, but there are serious concerns that these bills contain major loopholes in stopping congressional insider trading and the gifting of IPO stocks from companies seeking to influence policy. In fact, Robert Khuzami, the SEC's director of enforcement, testified that the bills as written only make stock transactions related to pending or prospective legislation illegal, not any other insider information trading; and they only cover stock transactions, not options trades, exchange traded funds or mutual funds.
The bills by Sens. Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., are particularly weak. Members of Congress should disclose all trading activities immediately, not after 90 days as their bills propose. More immediate disclosure deadlines (similar to the strict deadlines corporate executives adhere to when trading certain amounts of stock) are imperative for real transparency.
Members of Congress must be required to put their assets into blind and "deaf" trusts. Deaf because we must make it illegal both to trade on non-public government information and to pass on such information. It does no good to set up a blind trust run by a friend, family member, or acquaintance and then casually pass on information to that person. Technically, members of Congress can claim they weren't actually making the trade or ordering another person to make the trade; they were simply "having a conversation" concerning information any competent trader would know what to do with.
Other congressional ailments
Also, remember that insider trading isn't the only corruption problem in Congress. Crony capitalism has run rampant for too long and is bankrupting our country. We need conflict of interest provisions on earmarks and other legislation to stop sweetheart land and construction deals.
Our permanent political class relies on an apathetic and uninformed public to get away with this stuff. But if there is one issue that unites Americans across the political spectrum, it's absolute disgust with the corruption of our elected leaders. Congress and the White House need to earn the American people's trust again. We the people are not going to give up until we get the sudden and relentless reform we deserve or, as the book says, "we throw them all out" in 2012.

Smaller, faster, stronger. Twin Power valves have the flow and pressure resistance typically found in larger valves, making them ideal for applications where space is critical or higher performance is needed. The 10mm Twin Power valve is available with an orifice size up to 1.6mm and pressure resistance up to 5bar (73psi). The 16 and 22mm Twin Power valves are available with 3.0mm orifice, with pressure resistance up to 2 bar (29psi) for the 16mm valve and up to 5bar (73psi) for the 22mm valve.
In addition to size reduction, the Twin Power design gives the advantage of integrated power-reducing ("hit and hold") electronics. This decreases energy consumption by 75 percent and reduces the risk of heat transfer between the coil and the media.
Further benefits of the new Twin Power rocker valves include a more robust separating diaphragm and a low dead volume fluid cavity, resulting in less carryover, better flushability, and better cleanability. By offering high performance wetted materials, such as PEEK, FFKM (Simrez and Kalrez), FKM, and EPDM, Twin Power valves can handle most aggressive fluids without deterioration or loss of performance.
Available in both 2-way and 3-way versions, Burkert's microfluidic valves with Twin Power technology can replace virtually any standard valves in the marketplace, reducing space and power consumption without sacrificing reliability or performance.

Calling balls and strikes a tough chore
MLB.com reporter Steve Gilbert checks in from umpire camp
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
Major League Baseball is holding its first-ever Umpire Camp in Long Beach, Calif. Steve Gilbert, who covers the D-backs for MLB.com, is taking part and will be writing a daily diary of his experiences. LONG BEACH -- Well, I put the gear on and got behind the plate for the first time ever, and let me say, it's a heck of a lot easier to call balls and strikes when you're in the press box looking at a monitor. Seriously, though, it's a totally different perspective on the game, and you begin to understand while watching 75-80 mph pitches coming out of a pitching machine, how truly difficult it must be to call balls and strikes during a big-league game. Factor in the increased speed, break on the ball, not to mention battling foul tips, etc., and it's amazing that these guys get 95 percent of the calls right. Veteran big-league ump Tim Timmons worked with me before, during and after my stint in the cage. I tracked the ball well (remember, you don't want to move your head, but rather follow it with your eyes) and my timing was good. They emphasize timing here quite a bit. When people start out umpiring, they have a tendency to make the call too quickly whether we're talking ball/strike or safe/out. You want to pause for a second, see again in your mind what you just witnessed and then make your call. You want to be consistent with your timing, otherwise it looks like some calls you are sure of and others you're not. And if there's one thing the instructors emphasize, it is that you better be darn sure you project confidence in your call, even if you are unsure. Let's say you're behind the plate and you're calling pitches right down the middle strikes almost before they hit the catcher's glove. And you're also calling pitches that are obviously outside balls as they hit the catcher's glove. Now what happens on that ball that is right on the corner -- the one where it's helpful to quickly replay the pitch in your mind? If you make the obvious calls quickly and the close calls slowly, it makes it gives the impression that you're unsure or are guessing -- either of which makes you look unsure. So my tracking was good, and my timing was good. Whether my strike zone judgment was any good will be determined on Wednesday when I review the film that was taken. One of the best things about the camp is the interaction you get with the umpires -- the guys that have seen so much in their time in the big leagues and have some really great stories. During the evening Q&A sessions, we have an opportunity to ask four or five of them questions for nearly two hours. The stuff you can learn is fascinating, everything from how they deal with life on the road -- they get a $350 per diem with which they must cover their hotel, clubhouse dues and meals -- to how they handle a difficult player or manager. Remember the play in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series when the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove? Randy Marsh was the first-base umpire in that game, and he was unable to see the slap because he was screened out of the play by the first and second baseman, along with Arroyo, who were all converging in the area around first. He initially called A-Rod safe. Now, when Boston manager Terry Francona came out to argue, Marsh got the crew together and asked if anyone saw something different. Two of the umpires, the one down the right-field line, who was standing in foul territory and had a better angle than Marsh, and the home-plate umpire saw the slap and told him so. As Marsh tells the story he said to the crew, "OK, I'll change it, but hang on, because this place is going to go crazy." It's the kind of story and insight that you don't normally get, and it's one of the main attractions of the camp. The main feature, of course, is that this is the best way to get a head start heading into one of the two umpire schools. And since your ranking at those schools determines whether you will get a pro job, every edge is crucial. Tuesday's morning session was spent going over the two-man umpiring system again, except this time, instead of there being no one on base, we talked about what happens when there is a runner on first or a runner on second. Just when I thought I had the hang of things, it suddenly got more complicated. The nice thing, though, is they not only diagram on the board how things are supposed to go, they demonstrate it when we first get out to the field in the afternoon. Then we spend the rest of the afternoon rotating in groups taking turns being both the plate and base umpire. That way, the lesson gets reinforced. On Wednesday, we get our first taste of live action when we umpire a game between Compton Community College and Palisades CC. For most of the guys here, it's old hat, but for me, it will be the first time I've umpired a live game. I'm not so much worried about my half-inning on the bases, though remembering all the various responsibilities and positioning could be tricky, as much as I am worried about my half-inning behind the plate. Working in the cage is one thing. Crouching back there with a pitcher throwing in the upper 80s with a breaking ball, not to mention the possibility of foul tips rattling my cage, is a different story.

I don't have any pictures of the first time I visited Disneyland with my family in 1963, and it's about the only regret I have about the park I've visited so many times since then.
This video is a live broadcast of the opening day ceremonies that was broadcast nationwide on July 17, 1955. there are a lot of technical glitches and miscues, but with the technology available at the time it's a miracle that it got off the ground at all.
As you look at the video you'll be amazed at how different the park looks with all the plant that had a long way to go before they would mature, and sidewalks that reportedly were still wet, causing some women wearing high heels to get stuck. Thousands of people crashed the gates, straining the already stretched resources that day, but here we are 58 years later and it's still the happiest place on earth.
Thank you Mr. Disney.

H&R Block Inc. (HRB - Free Report) reported adjusted loss from continuing operations of 77 cents per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, ended Jan 31, 2014. Loss was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate loss of 8 cents as well as the year-ago loss of 21 cents.
Expenses incurred during the quarter exceeded the amount of revenues generated, thereby inducing losses.
Shares of H&R Block declined 3.42% in the after-market session reflecting the dismal show by the company.
Quarterly Operational Performance
H&R Block's revenues stood at $200 million, plunging 58% year over year. Revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $531 million. The underperformance was largely attributable to revenues related to tax returns prepared but not yet filed which will be recorded during the company's fiscal fourth quarter.
Total expense of H&R Block was $538 million, declining 4.7% over the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as lower interest expense.
H&R Block's operating loss in the reported quarter widened to $338.2 million from a loss of $92.6 million incurred in the year-ago quarter.
Segment Performances
Tax Services revenues in the reported quarter plummeted 58% to $194 million as a result of revenues from completed tax returns not being realized in the quarter but being shifted to the next quarter.
Pre-tax loss widened to $322.1 million from $64.2 million loss incurred in the year-ago quarter.
Corporate and Eliminations posted revenues of $5.8 million in the third quarter, down 21.4% year over year.
The segment's pre-tax loss in the quarter was $26 million, narrower than the loss of $32.1 million in the year-ago quarter.
Financial Position
H&R Block exited the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $482.3 million, 5.7% higher on a year-over-year basis. Total outstanding long-term debt of H&R Block at the end of the reported quarter was $506 million, improving 44.1% year over year.
Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was $1.12 billion, lower than $1.31 billion used in the year-ago period.
Dividend Update
On Apr 1, 2014, H&R Block will pay a dividend of 20 cents per share to shareholders of record as of Mar 17, 2014. The dividend will mark the 206th consecutive quarterly dividend paid since the company went public in 1962.
Peer Comparison
Intuit Inc. (INTU - Free Report) reported adjusted loss per share from continuing operations of 10 cents in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which compared unfavorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of earnings of 2 cents.
Our Take
This tax preparer missed the expectation for the fifth time in a row. A considerably low top line induced a higher year-over-year loss.
As most of the clients file their tax returns from January through April each year, substantially all of H&R Block's revenues from income tax return preparation and related services and products are received during this period. As a result, the company incurs loss through the first eight months of a fiscal year. Nonetheless, with plans for the upcoming tax season, the company is well positioned to deliver strong results going forward.
Additionally, H&R Block's leading position in the tax preparer market along with its strategic initiatives to grow its business by gaining and retaining customers augur well for long-term growth. Its efforts to return value to its shareholders will also help retain investor confidence in the stock. The company expects total U.S. filing growth in the industry of 0% to 1% and envision adjusted EBITDA margin to hover around 30% in fiscal 2014, consistent with fiscal 2013.
H&R Block presently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks from the same sector include Rentrak Corporation and Viad Corp. (VVI - Free Report) . Both of these have a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian dairy products producer Saputo Inc is warning customers not to consume one of its milk products because it could be tainted with a cleaning solution.
Canada's biggest dairy producer said on Friday it is recalling Neilson Trutaste 2% Microfiltered Partly Skimmed Milk, sold in four liter bags, with a best-before date of February 12, 2012.
"Someone drank a bit of the milk and contacted us to let us know that she was suffering from a stomach ache," said Saputo spokeswoman Sandy Vassiadis.
Tests showed that the milk contained a cleaning product used to wash the tanks in the plant where the milk was processed. Vassiadis could not say what the cleaning product was.
"When mixed in with our milk in the concentration level that we were able to test, it could cause nausea, vomiting, a burning sensation, stomach aches," said Vassiadis.
The recall covers about 80,000 liters of milk, or one day's production, which was distributed in Ontario and Aylmer, Quebec. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is monitoring the recall.
Vassiadis said the tank that handled the batch has been shut down while the company investigates what went wrong, although the rest of the facility is still in production.
Montreal-based Saputo produces and distributes milk, cheese and some baked goods. It operates nearly 50 plants in North America, South America and Europe.
Shares were down 0.65 percent at C$39.99 on Friday afternoon on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Happy Stackable Upholstered Armchair designed by Roger Persson for Swedese is instantly recognisable from the two angled edges posited either side of the spacious seating pad. When glanced upon the upturned sides of the base can be mistaken for a smile, as referenced within the name.
The understated design intensifies its Scandinavian form of straight lines and smooth gradients, where the seat and back support merge for a well balanced structure. The steel tubular legs are precisely situated for a optimum fit when stacked, observed through the high curved arch of each leg. This further compliments its defined form for a sculptural conclusion.
For additional comfort armrests extend from the base and as with all the Happy Chair family, it can be upholstered in a range of fabric options, each with an extensive range of colours available:
Fabric Information:
Divina Melange - A textured material, full of depth and richness from the subtle mix of a complementary hue.
Divina MD - 100% new wool with a smooth directionless surface. A blend of two different tones reveal delicate colour variations.
Remix - 90% new wool & 10% nylon. Thin and strong, each colourway has two different threads. The result is irregular colours playing across its surface.

Tweed- Made from 100% New wool, it offers a classic yet understated finish. Its composition makes it excellent for domestic use due to its hard wearing properties.

May 01, 2012 Amanda Seef Uncategorized
To date, just over $105,000 has been raised to help finance the flights by Air 1, the helicopter service provided by the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office.
The helicopter was defunded last year by the county legislature, but was left in the budget so that it can still fly. Sheriff Kevin Walsh was given the task to raise $595,000 in 2012 to pay for the year's expenses associated with the helicopter, which is used for police, fire, rescue and medical missions.
Just about $60,000 has been solicited through the Air-1 Foundation, a not-for-profit created to fund the costs to the county, said John Balloni, the Chief of the Civil and Administrative Divisions of the Sheriff's Office. Some of the funds raised through the foundation have come from corporate and private "members" who sponsor Air 1. More than 1,000 individuals and businesses have signed on to support the helicopter.
"We're reporting progress but we have a long way to go," Balloni said. "We have every faith that we will get there."
Balloni says Air 1 has also received a grant from the Drug Enforcement Administration for cannabis eradication, netting $30,000 to continue to fund the helicopter, which flies on numerous police missions.
Additional donations have come from the Cayuga and Oswego County legislatures, resulting in $15,000 in support. Walsh has sent solicitation letters to all surrounding counties, as many of the calls Air 1 flies are outside Onondaga County.
"If we get through this year, we've conquered it and we'll keep the helicopter," said undersheriff Warren Darby.
Meanwhile, a federally mandated overhaul of Air 1 has left it out of service since March, but it's expected back to Central New York skies this month, Darby said.
The turbine, or engine, of the helicopter is being rebuilt in Canada. That's required every 2,500 hours of flight. The frame of the helicopter is being overhauled in Pittsburgh, again a federally mandated regulation. Every nut, bolt and piece on the helicopter is being double-checked to ensure it's properly functioning, Darby said.
Those repairs are being made from forfeited money from drug activity.
"The tax dollars are not paying for this," Darby said. Forfeited money is used to fund extra expenditures, such as repairs on Air 1 or other non-budgeted items.
Balloni says once the helicopter does return to service, they will begin charging for medical transports as a commercial helicopter. That approval was granted by the FAA in January.
The next major fundraiser for Air 1 will be the second annual poker run, sponsored by Western Area Volunteer Emergency Services. The poker run will be June 16, and more information is available on their website, wavesambulance.com.

Efforts to turn things around at two long-struggling Vista middle schools have paid off big this year, in ways ranging from higher test scores to better morale to safer campuses, students and educators say.
Officials say the schools ---- Washington Middle, near the center of the city, and Rancho Minerva Middle, in rural east Vista ---- have been buoyed by new leadership and programs that have helped foster that intangible element invariably linked to success: hope.
At Rancho Minerva over the past year, students raised test scores more points than any other campus in the district and more than at most schools across the county.
Across town at Washington, an eager new principal and a new list of rules have helped change the mood on campus, dramatically reducing the number of discipline problems, observers said.
What's happening at those two campuses is critical to improving the Vista Unified School District as a whole because middle school can essentially set the stage for students still forming educational priorities and expectations, board President Steve Lilly said.
"The turnaround at those two schools is huge for this district," Lilly said last week. Educators at both schools are doing terrific work to close the achievement gap between different groups of students, he added.
The district has five middle schools that serve students in grades six through eight and one campus for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
The difference this year at Washington and Rancho Minerva is tangible, said Jeanie Luckey, assistant superintendent in charge of curriculum and instruction for the district.
"I get such a positive vibe when I visit those two campuses," she said.
When Mike Marcos took over as Washington's principal in August, he knew it would be a challenge to turn around a school that had struggled with academic and safety issues for years.
What the young, energetic principal didn't realize was how eager the students and teachers would be for change.
Morale, which had been bad for everyone, began to change this year, educators and students said this month.
"It's just a different feel," said eighth-grader Alyssa Fuentes. "Last year, I didn't want to learn, and this year, it's different."
That difference has come from the administrators and teachers, Alyssa said.
Marcos worked with teachers to rearrange the school's bell schedule so that students could get more history and science lessons and so they could be grouped according to their abilities in math and English classes.
"We came to the beginning of the school year with a huge agenda of change," he said, emphasizing the teamwork involved. "It was very ambitious."
Part of that agenda was putting together a rigid list of rules and punishments that all students and parents had to read and sign at the beginning of the school year. It was important for students to have consistent discipline, Marcos said.
The new principal is "strict but cool," said Dennis Mendez, an eighth-grader who went from troublemaker last year to student of the month this year.
The new rules and consequences have helped reduce the number of expulsions, suspensions and fights at the school, Marcos said.
So far this year, 55 students have been suspended and two expelled. Those numbers are on track to be far lower than last year, when 283 students were suspended and 12 expelled by the school year's end.
The rate of discipline problems has slowed as students get used to the new rules, Marcos said. By the end of the year, he said, he expects to suspend only 75 or 85 students total.
Although students haven't taken any standardized tests since educators at Washington implemented the changes, there have already been some impressive academic gains, Marcos said.
The number of D's and F's students have received so far this year is down 61 percent when compared with last year, he said. At the same time, the number of A's rose 15 percent, he said.
These statistics predict promising test scores next year, teacher Frank McLoughlin said.
"It's all going in the right direction," he said. "With time, we'll be up there competing with Madison and Roosevelt."
Rancho Minerva
Across town, educators at Rancho Minerva saw a giant leap this year in test scores after a few years of concerted changes ushered in largely by Principal Steve Riehle.
Like Washington, students at the school have struggled with low test scores for years. The school, formerly known as Lincoln Middle School, was in central Vista until 2007, when the new campus opened in rural east Vista. That was also the year Riehle took the helm after three years as an assistant principal.
This year, Riehle set a schoolwide goal of 703 on annual state tests, and the students far surpassed it with a score of 745. On a scale of 200 to 1,000 points, the state considers a score of 800 or higher to be on target.
"It makes you want to do better next year," eighth-grader Bo Feuling said about the rising scores.
In addition to the bump in state scores, the school had enough struggling students improve their scores to meet federal targets for the first time since they were put into place in 2002. If the school can do the same thing next year, it can get out from under federal sanctions.
The improvements came after several years of slowly rising scores and an increasing focus on getting students to think more about college and their future, Assistant Principal Jenifer Golden said.
There hasn't been a magic formula, teachers said. Instead, the improvements have been more about educators working as a team and using testing data to help figure out how best to help students ---- those who are struggling and those who are excelling.
Educators at the school said they expect scores to keep rising as they continue to encourage students to view the test as an exciting challenge.
"We're inspiring our students to be really confident and competent, and feel like the test is not this scary thing," Golden said.
Enrollment at both schools has dwindled over the past several years, as parents elected to transfer their children to higher-performing campuses as part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
As test scores and public perception improve, educators at both schools said they hope more parents decide to stick with Rancho Minerva and Washington.
"The proof is in the pudding," Riehle said.

Did this quick Illustration while testing new digital brushes. I have finally sorted out my digital brushes and have brought it down to selected 40+. Need to get rid of more and keep the number close to 10. Having less brushes gives you a uniform rendering style to all your artworks. Although I prefer traditional media, I felt quite comfortable using Kyle webster's digital brushes. Totally worth spending $15! :)

Complaint Review: SUNOCO

SUNOCO Sunoco Online Sunoco Online Bill Paying Ripoff Internet
I have a Sunoco gasoline credit card which I have had for several years.
I always pay my bill to Sunoco online at their online bill paying website.
On February 28, 2013 I went online at sunoco.accountonline.com to pay my bill.
Today, I received an email from Sunoco that they were unable to process my payment.
I checked my statement and noted that I had paid the bill and the confirmation number before I called Sunoco's alleged customer service line.
I was on the phone for over one hour and spoke to 8 different customer service and support people before it could be determined that Sunoco had charged a closed checking account that was no longer on my registered Sunoco web page.
No one at Sunoco would admit that there was at the very least a "glitch" in their online bill paying service or that perhaps Sunoco's online bill paying service had been hacked and compromised. They were insistent on blaming me although the Sunoco online bill paying history showed that for over a year each month the payment had been made through my active bank.
Beyond this, because my account was now "delinquent" by four "4" days they were going to hit me with a $25.00 Late Fee and the only way they would remove the late fee was if I would pay a month in advance on the current balance. The price of gas being what it is today I am running a small balance each month.
I escalated the issue several times and got the same canned response that there was no way that Sunoco's online bill pay would be in error and it must be my fault. Again, there was a year's history of bill paying to Sunoco through the correct checking account and the closed checking account had been removed from the account. Reason had no effect on these idiots.
One has to assume this is some sort of scam Sunoco is running to increase their cash flow by: one creating a computer incident where a bill payment is not accurately processed and two blaming the customer for their mistake or corrupt practices and three threatening the customer that their credit rating will be damaged if they do not resolve the problem - by paying Sunoco a month in advance - in Sunoco's favor.
Sunoco is a corrupt company and I will never use their gasoline products again even though I have used this one family owned Sunoco affiliated gas station for year. I will tell them later that they have lost my business until they change gas brands.
My advise is to Not do any business with Sunoco. They are a company that is corrupt and are attempting to rip-off its customers.
Boycott Sunoco !

Colt McCoy plans to call Sam Bradford before the Rams visit Cleveland Browns Stadium on Saturday. Maybe McCoy wants to hear from his friend/rival what it's like to be on the fast track to starting quarterback in the NFL.
Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford spent three years together in the Big 12. McCoy's Texas Longhorns won a conference title, Bradford's Oklahoma Sooners two. McCoy was a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist, Bradford was the winner in 2008.
Their parallel careers have diverged.
Bradford became the No. 1 overall pick of St. Louis in April, while McCoy slid to the Browns at No. 85 in the third round. President Mike Holmgren immediately said McCoy would sit this year, while Bradford is expected to start as early as Week 1.
McCoy can be forgiven for feeling a twinge of jealousy.
"I'm definitely excited about the opportunity I have here," McCoy said Wednesday between meetings and before a massage on the team's day off from practice.
"At the same time I'm excited for him. He has a chance to play right away. As the first pick in the draft, he has to go in there and be able to compete. I'm excited to watch him play.
"I know I'm going to get a chance, and when I get my opportunities I'm going to make the most of them."
McCoy's draft position and slot on the depth chart behind veterans Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace haven't cracked his confidence. He believes he'll be a success and plans on keeping the starting job once he gets it.
In the meantime, he's learning a new skill: patience.
"I'm not patient," he said. "But I have to be. It's part of it.
"I'm playing at the highest level you can play at. I'm going to continue with mental reps and get better every time I step out there. I'll be ready."
The major life adjustments have been coming in waves for McCoy. There was life in the NFL and Cleveland, the severely limited practice reps of a third-stringer and the two-interception preseason debut that included an injured thumb.
McCoy entered the Packers game Saturday night in the second quarter. The Browns were in field-goal range at the end of the half, when McCoy made the cardinal sin of throwing into double coverage in the end zone for an interception.
"I shouldn't try to force things there," he said. "With a good throw, I had a chance. I saw him a little too early, got excited, threw off my back foot and had no velocity on the ball.
"I won't make that mistake again. I'll be all right."
Mangini hates unnecessary risks. Especially those that end in interceptions.
"The guy was in double coverage," he said. "Hit the under (receiver) and move to the next play. Sometimes guys want to make a play and maximize their opportunity, but in trying to make a play, you can actually make a play for the other team.
"He has historically made good decisions in college and he's a conscientious kid. He could have been a little bit excited, a little bit of nervous, a lot of confidence, all of those things."
The last of McCoy's plays was an interception after the ball fluttered when his thumb hit lineman Casey Bender's helmet on the follow-through. McCoy finished 5-for-10 for 25 yards and a 16.7 rating. He did scramble twice for 25 yards and two first downs.
"I'd like to have a couple throws back and not get my thumb jammed up," he said. "Other than that, I felt I made some really good decisions and good throws and executed what was called.
"Obviously I've got some lessons to learn from that game, ways to be coached. Overall, I think it was OK."
The thumb ended McCoy's night, but X-rays were negative. He missed the first practice of his football career Monday, and returned Tuesday with a nice showing in the evening session.
"They were just trying to be real precautionary," he said. "If I had been the starter right now, there's no way I would've missed. It wasn't up to me."
McCoy hasn't had control of his destiny since he lost feeling in his right arm after a first-quarter hit in January in the national championship loss to Alabama. He was unable to return to the game, slipped to the fourth quarterback drafted and is spending more time staying loose on the sideline than practicing in team drills.
"It's a major adjustment and your reps are very limited," said Delhomme, who went through the same thing as a rookie in 1998. "Like all people, you get better with reps. But you see the young kids staying after, working, just trying to stay on top of their game.
"If it's not important to somebody, then they're really not going to give you everything they have. He wants to be good."
McCoy said he uses the downtime in practice to go over the plays mentally and visualize what he'd do. At night, he holds walkthroughs with the other rookies to prepare for specific game situations.
"I'm making fewer mistakes. Now, I go to the right place with the ball," he said. "I want to get to the point where I execute no matter what the defense does. I'm a lot closer, but I'm still learning."
He should have plenty of time to do it from the sideline, while Bradford takes the controls of a 1-15 Rams team that was blown out in the preseason opener. McCoy would prefer a role reversal, but has accepted his fate.
"I think whatever situation you're in, you've got to play to that," he said. "I can't have the mentality coming out to practice that I'm going to sit out all year. If I did that, I wouldn't get any better.
"So every day I come out here I try to compete and try to be my best and be ready whenever something happens."

Our holiday lived up to all of our expectations and more....and that went for the Choughs, too!
For some reason I can't upload photographs to the blog at the moment, but here's a bit of video:
I had spent a few hours late in the afternoon walking along the coastal path in a fruitless search for the Choughs before returning to The Lizard National Trust car park alongside the lighthouse where mine was the last car. Suddenly, several Choughs flew onto the car park and started searching for worms on the grass close to me. I had to laugh!
After disappearing from The Lizard a number of years previously, 3 Choughs turned up again in 2001 and 2 of them started breeding, the beginning of a growing population of these fascinating birds!

Paige Williams's narrative journalism has been anthologized in multiple volumes of The Best American Crime Writing and The Best American Magazine Writing. A National Magazine Award winner for feature writing, she is a former fellow of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, where she now teaches narrative nonfiction.
How a California Golden Boy Became America's Most Unlikely-and Elusive-Fugitive
Five shots to the head. That's how a young armored-car guard named Keith Palomares lost his life one sunny morning in 2004 while making a routine stop at an Arizona strip mall. As Palomares lay dying on the sidewalk, his murderer escaped on a mountain bike with a duffel bag of stolen cash. Almost eight years later, the suspected killer is still at large, nowhere to be found except on the FBI's infamous Ten Most Wanted List. The smiling face in the mug shot, framed by tousled blond hair, is like a taunt: "Just try to find me," he seems to say. "I spent my life fooling people. I'm doing it still."
The Ghost tells the mysterious and chilling story of Jason Derek Brown, the most unlikely fugitive in recent memory. Brown was a golden boy, born to privilege and raised in a seemingly righteous Mormon family. But there were cracks in the perfect facade. Brown's father was a gambler and a con man, leading a secret life of deception. As a Mormon missionary and young husband, Jason Brown seemed determined not to follow the same path. But, like his father, he couldn't resist temptation. Lying and cheating became Brown's new religion, and Mormonism didn't stand a chance. Brown's fierce desire for the unearned good life allegedly took him over the edge—to cold-blooded murder. Ten years after his father simply vanished without a trace, Jason Brown did the same thing. A poisoned legacy.
In the rich tradition of the best crime narratives, Paige Williams masterfully examines the forensics of Brown's enigmatic life and the disturbing last days before his disappearance. She meticulously describes the tragic shooting of Keith Palomares and takes us behind the scenes with the homicide detective and FBI agent who have been trying for years to find Brown. Officials are convinced that he's out there somewhere, his mystique growing as he remains in the shadows.
"He left his family with artifacts of a life interrupted, unexplained, unfulfilled," Williams writes. "He left Arizona as Phoenix scrambled to find the killer of a twenty-four-year-old armored-car guard, shot five times in the face. He left it all and still he lingers, because that's what ghosts do. They haunt."

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a well-known age-related disease. However, much less recognized has been the aging associated pathogenesis of this disorder. As we and others previously showed that dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) was an important mechanism involved in pulmonary fibrosis, the role of these molecules in this pathology in the aged population has not been investigated. In this study, by using lung fibrosis model established in old mice, we found that ablation of miR-34a protected aged animals from developing experimental lung fibrosis. miR-34a was upregulated in lung epithelial cells, but not in lung fibroblasts of aged mice, and miR-34a expression was further increased in epithelial cells of the fibrotic lungs of these old animals. We found that miR-34a induced dysfunctions in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs), as evidenced by increased cellular senescence and apoptosis and mitochondrial aberrations. More importantly, these abnormalities were attenuated in AECs of the fibrotic lungs of aged miR-34a-/- mice. We found that miR-34a targeted Sirt1, a master anti-aging regulator, and two key cell cycle modulators E2F3 and cyclin E2 in lung epithelial cells and the repression of these targets was relieved in miR-34a deficient AECs. In summary, our data suggest that elevated AEC miR-34a plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis in the aged population. Our study also indicates miR-34a be a more precise miRNA target for treating this disease that overwhelmingly affects the people of advanced age.

(CBS) Undoubtedly, the ESPYs carry a large degree of self-promotion for ESPN and absurdity in giving rich athletes and celebrities $23,000 gift bags, but it can also serve a grand stage to get powerful messages across.
And that's exactly what ESPN anchor Stuart Scott did in Wednesday's televised event, inspiring with an emotional speech that detailed his fight with cancer after he was awarded the Jimmy V Award.
Check out the video below. It could be one that resonates for years.
"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer," Scott said. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y6hOb0c1yc#t=122]

We've been keeping this under wraps for a couple of months now and so are excited that we can finally share: our lettering is featured in the December 2012 issue of Brides Magazine! That's our Glade lettering style adorning a block print invitation created by artist and print maker Katharine Watson. The invitation is part of a feature on how to use the color red to create an unforgettable "holiday-hued" wedding. It was a thrill to collaborate with Katharine – her work in block printing has quickly become nationally recognized – and it is exciting to see how the whole feature came together.

Chalk It Up
To my delight, I am often asked to create chalkboard signage for wedding and events. I always enjoy the process of designing and executing in chalk and chalk ink, whether it be to create a seating chart (as I did for Shannon + Dave), bar signs (like those I created for Kelly + Kevin), welcome greetings (like the board I wrote out for Heather + Patrick) or a menu, which is what I created most recently for bride Tori's wedding to groom Christian this past weekend.
Tori was referred to me by event designer extraordinaire Laura Ritchie of Events in the City and, in addition to creating adorable little hanging seating cards (shown below in a collage Laura shot during Tori and Christian's wedding reception), Tori also asked me to use my Glade lettering style to write out a menu of the delicious meal in store for the couple's guests. To me, the only downside to working on menus is that inevitably the mouth-watering descriptions end up making me hungry and just a tad bit jealous of the lucky guests! In any case, this particular menu was very fun to write and I am thrilled to have been able to assist with the wedding preparations for this sweet bride to her groom. Cheers, Tori + Christian!!
Mirror, Mirror
Thanks to the lovelies at Amber Karson Events, I recently had the pleasure of creating "Day Of" calligraphy in my Rockwell lettering style for bride Courtney and her groom Moshe. In addition to a passel of pretty table markers and some gloriously large place cards (both shown above right on this fun collage Amber shot during Courtney and Moshe's wedding reception), I also wrote out a large-scale seating chart on a mirror (shown both above left and, in a close-up, below). Seating charts can be challenging because unless everything lines up correctly and looks straight, they can look like a hot mess. Writing one out on a mirror adds an extra layer of complexity because as you write, you see the writing tool twice – once as it really is and then again in the mirror. The results, however, are so lovely – especially when set against gorgeous flowers and the glow of candlelight, which is how Amber and Emily styled this particular setting. We were so honored to play a small part in such a beautiful and momentous day for the happy couple – here's to many joyful years for Courtney and Moshe!!
Sweet Soiree Signage
ExPats in Paris – 5th Annual end of the of summer party from Thomas Bowen Films
Last week three of our favorite event stylist and planning firms – the ladies from Atrendy Wedding, Engaging Affairs and Simply Chic Events – came together to host a fabulous end-of-summer party and they asked Meant To Be Calligraphy to create some fun signage to be displayed throughout Josephine Lounge where the event took place. So, using my Durham lettering style, I created a couple of messages on mirrors, including the large "thank you" sign below and one luring guests to try some of the being-made-on-the-spot caramelized doughnuts (which you can see in the very fun video above by Thomas Bowen Films), plus some bar menus featuring the night's signature cocktails and (also shown in the video) an oversized sign to welcome all of the guests. A good time was had by all and so just thought I would share a little peek at my handiwork here.
Real Wedding: Lindsey + Rich
I was so excited to see photos of Lindsey and Rich's wedding at Washington, D.C.'s posh Willard International Hotel pop up on the Three Lights Photography blog earlier this week. Photographer Laura Luis did an incredible job capturing all of the exquisite details of the day and, most importantly, the wonderful time that was clearly had by both the happy couple as well as their family and friends. I definitely recommend popping over to Three Lights to see the rest of the photos from this wedding – total eye candy!!
Lindsey was referred to Meant To Be Calligraphy by the fabulous gals at Hitched Salon in Georgetown where she purchased her wedding stationery, and I had the pleasure of working with her and Rich for well over a year – first I addressed their save the dates, then later, their gorgeous invitations and finally wrote out Day Of items such as seating cards for their reception, all in my Walker lettering style. Along the way I had the chance to meet not only Lindsey and Rich, but also Lindsey's mom and her twin sister – so fun! It's having the opportunity to work with total sweethearts such as Lindsey that makes me love my job.
Stamp Away!
We were so happy to see our return address stamps pop up today on The Stationery Place! If you did not already know, Meant To Be Calligraphy offers lovely custom return address and stationery letterhead stamps both individually and in sets. As blogger Lyndsey notes in her Stationery Place post, there is something so elegant about holding your very own address carved into a wood block and having the opportunity to stamp it in any color you like, and we heartily agree.
In fact, just yesterday my son, Jack, turned 5 and we celebrated with an Olympic Birthday Competition. As we wrote thank you notes to Jack's friends, he was delighted to stamp his name on stationery and pop our address on the envelopes – clearly a love of stamps starts young! So, check out our Meant To Be Calligraphy Etsy shop and indulge in one for yourself or someone you love. See if you don't find it as gratifying as Jack & I do!
Summer Lovin'
As we say goodbye to July, I wanted to share four quick snapshots of my summer so far:
No. 1: Our new lettering style "Flint." Most of our lettering styles (i.e. Robertson, Smith, Durham) fondly steal the last names (but not the first names or mailing addresses) of family and friends, and Flint is no exception. As Michele blogged earlier, July began with a 6 day power outage inspiring generous and humorous moments up and down our block. One such moment was a late evening rain that found one of our neighbors cart-wheeling in her front yard, a fitting solution to an extended existence of living in 105 degree heat without air-conditioning. Accordingly (and with a nod to the original, cartwheeling Mrs. Flint), our "Flint" lettering style reflects modern elegance and that touch of whimsy in all of us.
No. 2: A Gin Rickey. After one of the warmest weeks of my life, my husband and I celebrated the return of our air-conditioning at The Passenger in Mt. Vernon Square toasting a couple of refreshing Gin Rickeys. Have you had one? We had not. It was created over 100 years ago by a DC lobbyist, Colonel Joe Rickey, and according to our waitress, some say it should be DC's signature cocktail. Try one this summer and see what you think!
No. 3: Bellwether Events and Katie Stoops Photography both launched new websites! We would like to congratulate our friends Janice and Katie on their brand new looks. Having recently completed this significant task ourselves we applaud not only the result but the work that goes into it! We have been fortunate to have worked with both of them on many occasions and are excited for future collaborations.
No. 4: I finished off this month with college friends on Martha's Vineyard! Lovin' Summer!

It's not often that Number One Infinite Loop admits to weaknesses, but today Apple admitted that hackers had breached its employees' computers.
The hackers are believed to be the same Chinese ones who caused chaos at Facebook late last week when they targeted employees' laptops.
Apple says the attack it faced is much less severe and only affected a few its employees' Macintosh computers and that "there was no evidence that any data left Apple."
The Cupertino-based giant said it would also release an app designed to protect its users from the malware used in the attack.
With attacks on two of the world's most high-profile companies, based just a few miles from each other in California, it's hardly surprising that cybersecurity is high on US president Barack Obama's agenda. In his recent State of the Union address for instance, he issued an executive order seeking better protection of the country's critical infrastructure from cyber attacks.

Orange Glen High School has hired one of its own as its new athletic director.
Jason Patterson, 39, who graduated from OG in 1989, is the new man, replacing Sam Kristensen, who held the job for one year and was also the varsity baseball coach. Kristensen left for a job in Idaho.
Patterson is also a former coach for the Patriots. He was the head wrestling coach and an assistant football coach in a previous stint at OG.
In addition to his AD duties, Patterson will be the defensive coordinator for coach Kris Plash's football team.
"I'm excited to return," said Patterson, who had left for OG for Valley Center, where he got into administration. "(Kristensen) did a very good job of getting this place going in the right direction, so I'm very happy."
Patterson, who attended Chico State, also was the defensive line coach at Valley Center for coach Rob Gilster.

Michael Moroney's up-and-coming young filly Pastorale Lass will have her latest start in Wyong this afternoon as she looks to qualify for a shot at the Queensland Oaks 2013 in Brisbane early next month.
The Iffraaj three-year-old remains a maiden after three starts in her opening prep this autumn, her most recent effort being a fifth over the Bendigo mile on April 20.
Today Moroney will step her up to the 2100m hoping to see improvement from her in the $22,000 Moneywise Financial Solutions Maiden Handicap at Wyong.
Drawn ideally in barrier two with Jay Ford riding for the first time Pastorale Lass, Moroney's inaugural runner out of his newly established Randwick stables, is one of the genuine roughies in the field paying around $41 in an open market.
She is even longer in pre-field Queensland Oaks betting at a triple figure quote of $101, Clarry Conners' Crown Oaks winner Dear Demi early favourite at $4.50.
However Moroney's racing manager Anthony Feroce believes she can develop into a genuine staying filly and surprise heading towards the Oaks.
"She is a lovely filly and a promising type," Feroce said.
"If she races well and there is no reason to think she won't she will go to Queensland with the Oaks as her mission."
To get behind your favourite filly for the Queensland Oaks 2013 head over to bookmaker.com.au and enjoying betting with the online bookie rewarding new depositing players with a bonus bet valued up to a juicy $500!

This printer is either badly designed and built and/or it has protective software which prevents the use of non Epson branded inks. It then tells you to clean the head and half empties a cartridge when you do this. It also indicates a cartidge is empty when it has ink in it. Don't get one even if it free. It is rubbish.

Life of Pi, the up-coming film adaptation of Yann Martel's Mann Booker Prize-winning novel.
Casting director Avy Kaufman conducted a worldwide talent search, auditioning up to 3000 youngsters for the role. Sharma, a 17-year old student from Delhi, India, has never acted before.
Now with the lead in place, principal photography for Life of Pi is scheduled to begin in January. The entire film will be shot in Taiwan and India.
The story follows Pi, who gets stranded for 227 days in shark-infested waters. He survives on a small 26-foot lifeboat with only a Bengal tiger, a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, and a seasick orangutan as shipmates.
