Effective Classroom Discipline: Anger Management, Part II
Instructor: Sophia Thwaites, {Presenter: Diane Wagenhals}
Grading: Letter
Spring, Summer & Fall (Ongoing)
Instruction Mode: Internet-Asynchronous (Online Class)
Academic Level: K-12 Professional Development
NDSU Credit Fee: $145
Partner Class Offered Through Knowledge Delivery Systems
Course Description:
The unruly emotion of anger can disrupt a classroom and frighten students and educators. This course is designed to give participants control over anger—their own and their students—in order to manage their classrooms more effectively. Participants are introduced to current brain research that can help clarify neurological and bio-chemical responses to anger-evoking experiences. Research clearly indicates that students learn better when classrooms are emotionally safe and provide clear and consistent guidelines. Participants will also learn to deal with anger's related emotion, shame, and keep that emotion from interfering with students' learning. This course can be taken alone or with Effective Classroom Discipline: Anger Management, Part I.
Knowledge –at the end of this course, participants will understand:
- The fundamental principles of anger.
- Effective strategies to connect discipline with violence and brain growth, development and functioning.
- How to differentiate between discipline and punishment.
Skills –after this course, participants will be able to develop:
- Classic "I" messages.
- Ways to use the skill of "calm."
- Specific steps to respond intentionally and effectively to anger.
- A discipline report card for assertive teachers.
Dispositions –after this course, participants will appreciate:
- Critical components of nurture, connection, safety and security.
- The importance of brain growth and changes during adolescence.
- Connections among discipline, punishment, shame, anger, and aggression.
• Transcripts, handouts, and PowerPoint presentations
**Registration Instructions:
Register for this class through KDSi. NOTE: Upon registration, you have 2 months for course completion. Although many of our courses are approved for both 1 and 3 graduate professional development credits, participants can only receive credit for one version of each course.

W7 X-64 W8.1 X-64 Opensuse 13.1 W2003 Server
A Practical example of using a SERVER as a VM
Hi guys
Just a quick practical example of how a SERVER itself can be of use as a Virtual Machine.
Example here is HOST is running VMWARE WORKSTATION. The VM is a server (W2K3).
(I normally use vmware server on the host for running Virtual Machines - but for testing I usually use vmware workstation to get everything going first - it's easier to fix stuff if things start going "pearshaped")
On the server I'm running a SAP BASIS developer system - this can be downloaded from SDN - note this IS a complex piece of software so installing it is not a trivial task BTW - it will run quite happily on a 1.2GB Virtual machine - you don't need to allocate more RAM than that.
SAP Developer Network (SDN): Downloads, Discussions, eLearning, and Documentation for Developers
On the FRONT END (i.e the HOST) I'm running an application called SAPGUI which is just a Windows Front end to the SAP system - normally you would run this on the same machine as the Basis developer system but for the demo I'm running it on the HOST.
The SAP user I log in with has the name BCUSER (Basis User) but doesn't have any account on the W2K3 server.
You can see it all works quite nicely.
2nd pic shows screen of user BCUSER logged on to the SAP applcation running on the Virtual server without having an account on the server itself but just on the application - Ist pic shows the Front end running on the Host Windows 7 machine with the SAP console (starts / stops the application) on the server. The Application Server panel identifies my VM W2K3 server Brownbear on my local LAN. The VM itself has Networking set to "Bridged" as it needs its own IP address for this application.
I've shown this as an example because a lot of people often like to do similar type of projects but aren't quite aware of how to go about it.
You can see the real flexibility of using Virtual Machines AS SERVERS THEMSELVES - especially now both the hardware and software have improved so much that you can even run these types of systems on decent Laptops now.

By Matt Cooney,
Rob Muldoon had no need to be loved. The three-term prime minister and minister of finance was content to be feared (though some New Zealanders loved him for it). His government was the cradle-to-grave type, and there wasn't much of a role for enterprise.
His successor as minister of finance, Roger Douglas, was also not looking for approval; he just wanted to reinvent the economy, and as rapidly and dramatically as possible.
Forgive the history lesson, but it's relevant. These two gentlemen can take some blame for New Zealand's current economic malaise. One deformed our economy; the other reformed it so quickly that in a matter of a few years many New Zealanders got rich. And then came the 1987 sharemarket crash, an ugly event in much of the world but a catastrophe in New Zealand. As Sam Morgan points out in this issue, the experience put generations of New Zealanders off investing in anything that doesn't have a street address.
What malaise is that, you ask? This issue of Idealog carries some uncomfortable news: despite current PM John Key restating the aim to catch Australia economically by 2025, on current trends we'll be a little less wealthy than Kazakhstan by then. If that sounds unbelievable, you'll want to read Vincent Heeringa's report on page 96, which sets out the situation, pans Key's timid response and puts forward a plan for recovery. Key and colleagues understand the problem. To solve it they might have to sacrifice some popularity but, as Muldoon and Douglas knew, that's how you get things done.
Elsewhere in this issue, don't miss Morgan's revealing and generous interview on page 26, and on page 82 Bette Flagler reports on the weird world of nano-sized objects and the advances that Kiwis are making in the field. We meet the guys behind the truly funny television show 7 Days on page 76, and publish the second part of our well-received guide to commercialising ideas on page 33.

Black mascara-turned-war paint regularly adorned the faces of the women I grew up with in the church of my early years (not to be confused with the church of my teen years where women did not wear makeup, and cried a lot less too). At services, at potlucks, baby and wedding showers, Bible studies and prayer meetings, the tears would flow. So many women, so many tears, so much smeared mascara.
People who cried freely and publicly were fascinating to me...MORE

black-nata replied to your post: black-nata replied to your post: I tell you…
someone asked him in one of his fan letters, something about loki cross dressing and having no regard for gender, and naturally there was a suggestion about tom being similar in that aspect. tom caught the undertone and went all defensive (in his ever-polite way) saying he was straight, which just fueled my suspicions of him not being fully hetero, because the fact that he paid so much attention to a subtle hint seems strange to me
well the defensiveness is indeed peculiar, if any. but yes i've always found his demeanor to be a little… i don't know the word. tender? soft? i mean he's aggressive, but not in that particular masculine kind of way. not feminine either—ambiguous perhaps. shit i don't know how to put it better; it's 7AM and words start to fail me. maybe we should find a gay/bi dude and ask what he thinks??

Just Plane Awful
Liz Fenton: I've always thought I had relatively well-behaved kids. They say please and thank you when prompted, and even eat a vegetable here and there. But even I know that being trapped in the confined space of an airplane for four hours can turn any angel child under 6 into the devil's spawn.
That's why I spent countless hours packing before jumping on our four-hour flight to the Midwest with the kids. And no, I wasn't fretting over what would look best as I sweated my ass off at the zoo (WTH is up with all the humidity?!) or remembering to pack bug spray so my California ass didn't get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Rather, I was attempting to become a walking entertainment center/convenience store.
Hungry? No problem! I've got every snack you've ever shown any interest in stuffed inside my bag.
Bored? Um, didn't you see Daddy lugging around that man purse? Inside is the DVD player and every movie or TV show that has held your focus for more than twenty minutes. And you don't know it yet, but Mommy's going to let you watch it until your eyes fall out if it means you'll keep quiet on the flight.
Too good for "Scooby-Doo"? No worries! I've also broken the bank downloading SpongeBob apps on my iTouch. It's fine! I didn't want to relax and listen to music anyway. In fact, the sound of that screaming baby and the woman crunching those homemade graham-cracker sandwiches is quite soothing after a while.
Concerned that our plane has been turned back to the gate for "safety reasons"? It's all good. The only thing that I'm concerned about is how much battery life is left on the DVD player. And when we get there and I discover my hubby left the charger at home? Well, that's a whole other blog ....
"Safety reasons" my butt. Just another way of saying someone is getting kicked off the plane.
Super Funny! I love your MomLogic posts Liz, you always make me laugh :-)
Good post and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you seeking your information.

melted chocolate
I've been told many times to make sure that water doesn't get into my chocolate when using a double boiler or else the chocolate will seize and become grainy.
but then so many people say to add a tablespoon of fresh brewed coffee to your chocolate to bring out the taste.
I apologize to coffee lovers everywhere, but I'm thinking brewed coffee isn't much more than water ...
how does that work exactly?
You're right, brewed coffee IS like adding water, spoiling the texture of your melted chocolate. I've found that adding a good quality freeze-dried instant coffee (pushed through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon) is a better alternative than the brewed coffee idea.
Choc on !!
I agree with oziguydownunder. Adding brewed coffee to my chocolate has never worked well. I sometimes dump dried coffee into my spice grinder and create something close to coffee dust, which I blend with the chocolate.
Are you using the melted chocolate for candy or ganache where the texture of the choco will matter? If not, add the coffee later during the course of whatever it is you're making. You can add it alongside oil, sugar, flour, eggs... during some step where the chocolate will have stuff added to it that'll help "buffer" it against seizure-causing liquid.
thanks everyone - I was sure I was losing my mind on that one
I'm not much of a baker, but when I don the apron for my Christmas baking this year, I'll be reaching for the instant stuff!
In a chocolate cake I made last night, I brewed hot coffee, and melted the chocolate in the hot coffee. I was worried about siezing, but it worked shockingly well. There were a few left over chocolate lumps in the bottom of the bowl (sorta like when you get to the bottom of your hot chocolate mug), but otherwise.... thats how I did it!
Chocolate seizes when you add a very small amount of liquid to the cocoa, but if you add more it will loosen up and return to normal, so the problem isn't adding a liquid, but you need to add the proper amount. The proper amount is 1 TBSP Liquid Per 2 OZ
Chocolate by weight.
I learned this from Shirley O. Corriher.
re: Kelli2006
Not 100% sure on the exact numbers, but what Kelli said is right on. I think you can get away with smaller amounts of liquid if it's alcohol, i.e., cognac in chocolate doesn't cause me much trouble.
If it seizes, don't throw it out. It's ruined for the purpose you originally intended, but it'd be perfect for making hot cocoa, chocolate sauce, or anything else where you will add more liquid, and the flavor will be unharmed.
re: SteveG
It is not ruined if it seizes, because you only need to add a bit of butter or more liquid and it will smooth out. It can almost always be saved.
re: SteveG
In past experience trying to make an almond flavoured chocolate, I added 1 tsp of almond extract (which is an alcohol, right?to have the designation of an extract?).... IMMEDIATELY seizing the chocolate. I was able to add a schwack of butter and turn it into an almond flavoured ganache-ish deal for something else.
Is there any reason why that shouldn't have happened?
(in reading my words, they sound a bit snobby/condescending, but I'm really just curious! Honest!)
re: blackpowdermorning
Extracts can be oil based or alcohol based. I don't think the alcohol based ones are particularly high proof, though. It should say on your bottle. I once tried to make peppermint meringues for christmas, and they kept collapsing. Turns out all peppermint extracts are oil-based because the peppermint flavors are oil-soluble, and oil makes beaten egg whites collapse.
Also, your 1 tsp of almond extract was probably on the low end if you look at Kelli's ratio of 1 Tbsp per 2 oz chocolate. My cognac and chocolate recipe was 2 tablespoons cognac to 2.5 oz chocolate, so it was above Kelli's seizure line.

16. You did something bad. I seem cool with it. I'm not. (See directly above.)

20. When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing.

50. You should know all this and more with-out my telling you.
1. Guys dont actually like sluts as much as they say they do, even though they have sex with them!
(Oh yeah… you're not "popular" if you've slept with loads of guys… you're probably just a HOE)
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" are two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile, it's usually more important than the body.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to; if a guy knows a girl likes him but doesn't like her… he still wants to be the only guy she talks to.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend, unless it's negative, then it's cool.
11. Guys get jealous very easily, even if they don't show it.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!… ugh… nevermind…" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like. If a guy seems cool around girls, just see how he acts in front of the girl he really likes.
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves if you just ask.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice unless he asks for it.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you. Poking, light pushing, blocking your way and random high 5's are tell tell signs.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything if you don't tell them not to.
24. Guys use words like buff or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you, if he uses it to describe other girls, he probably just wants to sound sweet in front of you, and therefore likes you.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
26. Guys love it when girls wear their clothes (jacket, hat, etc) especially if it's a girl they like, they will often let them wear it in unreasonable circumstances…like the pouring rain.
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible, if you like a guy, just tell him, they'll usually be flattered. If there is something wrong with your relationship, just tell him, if hes a nice guy he'll do his best to fix the problem.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. No matter how much guys talk about arses and boobs, personality is key.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience, your NEVER going to meet Mr. Darcy.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and talk to me."
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than 3 seconds, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
51. Not all guys are dickheads. Just because ONE is doesnt mean he represents ALL of us. Quit assuming.
52. We don't like girls who are too skinny.
53. We love it when girls talk about their boobs.
54. Always make sure you know what kind of stuff you're getting into before making out with a guy…like whether it's a one time deal or not…
55. Believe it or not shy guys are the easiest to talk to, it may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unoticabley tell them about yours.
56. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually.
57. When a guy doesn't touch you flirtily alot, but smiles at you a lot and makes eye contact a lot, its probably because he likes you and feels weird about touching you…but really wants to.
58. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.
59. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it… it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.
60. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
61. If a guy tells you to dump your boyfriend, he's being a twat, if he tells you that there is the possibility of finding someone else (HIM) if you do dump him, he probably likes you and just wants to see you happy.
62. No matter how much they complain (if they do), guys actually like it when girls lean on them.
63. Guys relate everything a lot of things to sex… a joke, a slip of the tongue, a giggle, a yawn, a stretch, whatever…its stupid but true.
64. If you add a guy on myspace or Facebook and you don't know him…chances are he'll assume its because you're attracted to him.
65. If a guy acts like a dick sometimes and doesnt trust you, it might be because he has been badly hurt in the past and is afraid to open up again.
66. Just because a guy isn't holding/kissing you, doesnt mean he doesn't want to, you might just need to initiate it.
67. All guys want to make you happy (unless they're pricks), some just don't know how…so help them out.
68. Most guys just naturally prefer a girl with a bit of curve.
69. Guys are just as self conscious and insecure as girls, ;we also fear rejection, the guy who really likes you is the one who will never dare say so.
70. Boys liked to be talked to. A guy will feel more comfortable around a girl if the girl starts talking to them.
71. The way a girl moves her body can easily be much sexier than anything she says or does.
72. Girls: when you slow down with your boyfriend, make sure you give a damn good reason or we feel like its our fault because we can't comprehend that you really just want to slow down.
73. Every guy has a 'neeky' side of him. Whether it be playin games, watching movies, or playing football, but don't make fun of him if you don't like it, unless it's something you both find funny, otherwise just try and learn to like it. Don't try to change him. If he's constantly ignoring you for that thing, tell him, he'll probably try and do it less.
74. Guys will always check out other girls, even if we make it less obvious when we're around you, it does not mean we're considering leaving you for the girl on the bus. It just comes to us without thinking, so don't freak out when a guy looks at another girl. It's just nature, and we know you were oggling at the cute guy that just walked passed. And hey, guys can have female friends just like girls can have male friends, just because he gets a text from a girl does not mean he is cheating on you. But if this does make things awkward, talk about it.
75. NEVER EVER kick a guy in the balls…seriously. Not even in a fight (play or real) or argument, you can't imagine how much that hurts (don't bring up giving birth because you know it's different). The slightest kick can often have an excruciating delayed reaction…so yeah…just don't do it…please.
76. When a guy is talkin to a girl, his gut instinct is to make her laugh. Whether he is good at this or not, he will try. As a result boys can sometimes appear immature or weird when you first meet them, but they're probably just nervous so give them time and get to know them.
77. At some point a guy will try to play fight with you. There are two reasons for this:
a) Guys like to fight and show you how strong they are.
b) It gives them an excuse to touch you.
78. It is very sexy and appealing for a girl to wear a guy's boxers and shirt. That's all. We don't know why that is, but it just is.
79. Guys dont like girls who don't make an effort. If he travels four hours just to see you for three, appreciate it and don't admit you wouldn't do the same, half the time we wouldn't expect you to anyway!
80. Guys have standards for what type of girl they want to have. Every girl is the perfect girl for somebody.
81. Guys don't like it when girls amplify things. It's very annoying.
82. Even the coolest guys, worry a lot about how they come across, they are probably trying very hard to seem so cool. So don't undermine or mock a guy you like or are friends with, he might not burst into tears but it does not do wonders for his self-esteem. And if you do take the piss, make it fairly clear your joking, it will let the guy know you dont dislike him, you have a sense of humour, and its ok for him to have a come back.
83. If a guy is completely, 100% honest with you about things he's not to sure/proud of, be grateful, because it can be pretty rare.
84. Although we do relate many things to sex, not everything is literally sexual, they like just being close to you too.
85. Guys only like sluts when they're single, as soon as their in a relationship, its just annoying.
86. Guys will always be nervous about giving girls presents they like, no matter how close to or comfortable they are around the girl. Your opinion is just too important to him.
87. Guys are often terrified of a girl they like too much. The way some girls make you feel makes it impossible for you to function, the same reason a lot of guys persue strictly physical relationships.
88. Guys may not know how to handle a relationship, we admit, we're not the greatest nor the smartest at doing things right. But girls are definitely not any better, so please don't argue with us and make it seem like you know how things are supposed to be and your ways are right. It may seem logical, but frankly, it always isn't.
89. Guys love anything you wear. Really. Don't continuously ask them how you look every time you wear something.
90. THE NUMBER ONE RULE: Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out. Roll up the parchment
"… and then she swung her brass knuckled fist and clipped him causing instant bruising to his
shit brown right eye. He fell to the ground like a sack of useless tools, equivalent to him. She knelt down and said,
"Was that unexpected?" He responded back with a,
Fuck yes!!!" She clenched her fists and asked,
"Did it hurt?" He answered again with a,
Fuck yes!!!" She threw her head back and laughed. She then analyzed him and said,
"Well now you know how i felt when you emotionally did that to me. I knew that was gonna hurt, I knew it was unexpected, I also know that it will leave a scar where every one that comes close can see. Sucks doesn't it?""

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Two native Mississippi musicians were honored Thursday in Jackson at the 61st annual Convention of the Mississippi Economic Council.
Marty Stuart of Philadelphia and Dorothy Moore of Jackson performed for the more than 2,000 business leaders from all over the state.
Governor Haley Barbour spoke at the event celebrating the state's unique music and cultural heritage.
"People come from all over the world to learn about the blues, and to learn about Elvis, and about country music. The B.B. King museum had 30,000 visitors, 15,000 of them not from Mississippi, and thousands of the people who visited weren't from America," said Barbour.
This is the first time the business leaders honored native Mississippi musicians for their unique contributions.

Benedict names
six new cardinals Pope Benedict XVI responded to criticism that the group of churchmen who will choose his successor is too Eurocentric, elevating six new cardinals from Colombia, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, the Philippines, and the United States on Saturday. The College of Cardinals remains heavily European despite the new additions. (AP)


text: They could still find stone in less monumental form. There are identifiable stone tool workings that are more than two million years old. Mind you, flint is fairly hard stone. Marble statues would erode if left exposed, but could be preserved for quite a long time under the right conditions. For that matter, good concrete can last a very long time. Maybe not 10,000 years, but we really can't be sure, since we haven't actually left concrete out for 10,000 years yet. Estimated time for various plastics to decompose varies widely between types. Some may outlast 10,000 years by quite a bit, although it might become unrecognizable to casual examination much sooner. Glass can last a very long time; glass relics are the modern equivalent of historical stone as a commonly-used but highly-durable material. After 10,000 years, there might be little of man left on the surface, but study in more depth and it will take far longer not to turn up clear signs that somebody was here and making a mess.

Newsome: 'Jarret is a Raven'
Outside linebacker Jarret Johnson figures to be one of the toughest decisions the Baltimore Ravens will have to make when free agency begins this off-season.
Johnson, a fourth-round draft pick out of the University of Alabama in 2003, will become an unrestricted free agent in March. There has been some buzzing that the Ravens would let Johnson walk, as the team may be looking to go younger and faster at the position. Baltimore already has Paul Kruger and Sergio Kindle on the roster and will most likely seek linebacker help through the draft.
Johnson, 30, has played in a franchise record 129 games, and hasn't missed a start in the past five seasons. Last season, Johnson recorded 56 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and three pass deflections.
While the Ravens will strongly consider re-signing Johnson, they will also have to come up with the money to re-sign the likes of running back Ray Rice, quarterback Joe Flacco and
possibly left guard Ben Grubbs. There are a lot of dollars to go around and only so much salary cap space, so if Johnson were to hit the free agent market, the Ravens likely to have some competition.
However, at his news conference from the NFL combine on Friday, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome was not ready to concede that Johnson would be leaving the Charm City any time soon.
"I had a conversation with Jarret at the end of the season and I told him I would maintain communication with him throughout the process," Newsome said, via BaltimoreRavens.com. "Jarret is a Raven. He plays like a Raven and we'd love to have him back if things can work itself out."
For what it's worth, The Sporting News lists Johnson as the No. 46 free agent available this off-season.

Tusson - "Oh Gosh / We Run The Road" (Official Video)
New Music
Last week we premiered the new video for Vybz Kartel's "My Crew," which is from the Mixpak / VICE release Kingston Story. After we'd finished making that track, one of the guys from Gaza approached us and got us to play "Oh Gosh / We Run the Road" through the speakers of our SUV. He introduced himself as an MC named Tusson, and we liked the track so much we made a video for it. The song reminds us of a Jamaican version of early East London grime, back when Titch wasn't in jail and the Pay As You Go Cartel were getting full-page features in the NME. Wiley and Dizzee still hadn't headlined a festival either. Also... FREE WORL' BOSS!

FORT PIERCE - If a mother whose son was murdered last week has her way, last weekend's march to protest violence won't be the last.
Kisha Armstrong, whose son, Toriell Roberts, 18, was fatally shot on July 29, said at a rally near the location of the murder, that she wants to see a march on the 29th day of each month.
Ms. Armstrong joined more than 100 people on Aug. 4 marching from Avenue D and Martin Luther King Boulevard to Avenue E and North 14th Street.
As they walked along the street, they chanted repeatedly, "Let's stop the violence."
Fort Pierce Police Chief R. Sean Baldwin, who joined the march, said police have yet to make an arrest in connection with the murder of Mr. Roberts.
But both Chief Baldwin and St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said they believe such marches and rallies are beneficial.
"Each time we have a march, we get more and more tips from about violence in our community," Sheriff Mascara said. "We get more buy-in from the community and that's what we're looking for."
Vince Gaskin, who was the main speaker at a rally following the march, is a candidate for mayor of Fort Pierce, urged people to get involved in fighting violence. He has organized previous marches against violence.
"We've got to end it today," he said. "Let this be the last young man or young woman to die from this foolishness. It doesn't make any sense that for a man walking with his mother to be gunned down."
Mr. Gaskin said people should come forward with information even though someone might call them snitches.
He also said they should be involved despite that it was not their child who was shot.
"Don't leave here and say, 'this is not a problem,'" he said. "It is."
Chief Baldwin applauded the march.
"It is great anytime our community can come together and fight against violence," he said. "This is what our community needs, to fight against the violence."
At the site where Mr. Roberts was murdered, a makeshift memorial, including flowers and a Teddy bear, was created.
Authorities have said Mr. Roberts was approached by three men and a woman while walking. While trying to flee, he was shot.
Mr. Roberts' murder was the first of 2012 in the city of Fort Pierce. There's been several shootings, however, including four people receiving non-fatal gunshot wounds last month.
After the march, Ms. Armstrong recalled the close relationship she had with her son.
She said not only was he her son, but also her "best friend."
He would call her more than a dozen times a day, she said.
Other family members involved in the rally, included Thelrietta Richardson, a cousin, who said she wants people to know that violence isn't the answer to whatever problems they have.
She said not only does it hurt the victim, but also many other people.
Ms. Richardson recalled her cousin as "someone who makes you laugh."
He would go out of his way to help others, she said.
Patricea Williams, a sister of Mr. Roberts, said he planned to go to college "and make something of himself."
She said she hoped the march would contribute to ending the violence and gang activity.
Sheriff Mascara and Chief Baldwin said anyone with information about the shooting of Mr. Roberts can call and ask for them directly or remain anonymous and call Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-8477.

Feel the Peace
by Silent Lotus
The orchard
Of your dreams
No longer bears fruits
Listen to the blossom of silence
Hear the vastness of the still ocean
Feel the peace of no leaves in the breeze
Touch the freedom of no illusions
And see that your signature
Reveals not a face or a name
As the climax lacks thunder
For divine light is gentle
And the silence
Is pure

Thanks for all the recommends, I will take a look at them I saw that I have read some of them. Although, I didn't know that their were sequels. I will try them out. Thanks again.

Hi again,
As you may have guessed I have poor time management sorry to have left replying so long especially as you were good enough to leave a delicious and long list of reccs for me. As to the urban fantasy scene in Britain it's practically non existant and we have few really great authors in the genre, one that might not be touted hugely in the States is an author called Mike Carey who writes a fabulous and cynical series about a freelance exorcist called Felix Castor the first of which is Devil You Know, if you like Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden he's a must buy, Felix could be Harry's younger British brother. Anyway abject and prostrated apologies for the lengthy time between catch up. I shall have a think about Brit authors: I suspect you will have heard of Simon Green? If not his Nightside series is a gem, even if I can't be certain if he's playing it straight or parodying pulp noir sometimes :)

Thanks for stopping by my way. I sympathise about the reviewing, I always feel like I should review more of my books than I have but I rarely manage to follow up on my good intentions because of my habit of being distracted by shiny things. I have a weakness for flawed female heroines too, so anything you might want to recommend feel free to!

I love your collection of books. How did you know I added you as an interesting library? Librarything has so many widgets and gegaws, I'm learning something new every time I use it.
posted by shellynoir at 6:06 pm (EST) on Apr 3, 2008
You're welcome :-) When I noticed how many books we shared and then saw all the ones you have that we don't share that looked interesting, I just had to do it LOL! A couple of the best YAs with female protagonists that sound like what you're looking for that I read last year were "Red Handed" and "Blacklisted" by Gena Showalter. They are technically more sci-fi than urban fantasy, but I think you'd really like them. I liked them better than her adult romances that I've read.

1982 National Championship team. Sam Perkins, Jimmy Black, Michael Jordan, Matt Doherty, James Worthy, and Billy Packer.
The 30th anniversary of one of college basketball's landmark games has arrived.
Three years after Magic Johnson beat Larry Bird, and a year before North Carolina State shocked Houston, North Carolina in 1982 edged Georgetown, 63-62, in a riveting championship game.
It was Michael Jordan's first of many clutch performances, Coach Dean Smith's first title. And James Worthy capped a most-outstanding-player tournament by scoring 28 points and gladly accepting a game-clinching mistaken pass by Georgetown's Fred Brown in the final seconds.
After winning three NBA titles with the Lakers in the 1980s, Worthy, 51, is back at the site of his heroics at New Orleans' Superdome for an Allstate promotion at the Final Four, with Kentucky Coach John Calipari trying to win his first national title Monday night against Kansas.
Can you believe it's been 30 years since the Georgetown game? You can make the case that your game was the best among those three classics in five years.
"I've not only lost my hair, I've lost my beard. What a great anniversary it is. Coach Smith getting his first. Versus John Thompson. In the dome. I'd vote for it [as greatest], given the circumstances of who played in that game, the fact that we had lost to Bob Knight and Indiana the year before. Myself going against my high school rival from Gastonia, N.C., "Sleepy" Floyd. Playing that deep Georgetown team with Patrick Ewing. Big game going in, back and forth all the way, and the way it ended with Michael's big shot and that pass."
What specific memories do you take from that game?
"Georgetown was relentless. They were intent to make us crack with their defense, and they nearly did. There was a point they had gone up three or four, and back then that was a big number. So [North Carolina's] Jimmy Black misses a layup and Michael flies in and tips it back in — an 'Ice' Gervin, finger-roll tip-in over Ewing. I might have been the outstanding player, but Michael Jordan emerged from the ACC tournament on that year. To watch him say, 'This is my ball, this is my court' was amazing."
And then it ends with the surprise Fred Brown pass to you. What were you thinking? Have you spoken to Brown since?
"He picked up his dribble and then in panic, I think, he thought I was on his team and passed to me. There was a delayed reaction by me. I thought the play had stopped, that there was a timeout.… Once I realized he made a mistake, all I could do was dribble. I knew there was a little time left on the clock. I concentrated not on myself or the team, but on the fact it was Coach Smith's first title, that we'd finally gotten him one. [Regarding Brown], ESPN did a thing on it, how he shouldn't be entirely blamed, and that's right. But my rookie year [with the Lakers] we flew in to Washington to play the Bullets and stayed 10 minutes from Georgetown. We actually practiced at Georgetown. I walked in through these big swinging doors toward the gym, and there's Fred Brown. We didn't even speak then. And we've never had a beer on it."
What are your thoughts on this year's final?
"Kentucky's to win. They could beat a couple of NBA teams. Great team, and they have an attitude. [I thought] if anyone could figure it out, it's [Louisville's] Rick Pitino. That center [Anthony Davis] certainly knows how to play his position, and I know Michael Jordan [now the Charlotte Bobcatsowner] is licking his chops to draft this kid."
What's the common denominator you usually see in an NCAA champion?
"Longevity, consistency, how they handle adversity. The great teams don't dwell on it, they get right back in your face. That's the key. The attitude can be more important than the talent. The teams that get in each other's faces, that argue and monitor each other. Kentucky has that, and with Calipari going for his first, he has a great chance."
This Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., former Lakers forward James Worthy will be among those being inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Below is a look at some of his memorable moments during his storied three-year career at North Carolina (1979-1982).
1. Worthy experiences early adversity. Enthusiasm regarding his freshman year evaporated when he slipped on a wet spot on the Carmichael Auditorium floor and broke his ankle. The injury forced him to miss the last 14 games of the season and cast serious doubt about the rest of his career.
2. Worthy bounces back from injury. Instead of allowing the injury to hurt his development, Worthy emerged as a sophomore, averaging 14.2 points (on 50% shooting) and 8.2 rebounds per game en route to the 1981 national championship game against Indiana.
3. Worthy won Final Four MVP. Despite being on a team that featured Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins, Worthy managed to win this award after UNC won the 1982 national title game against Georgetown. Highlights of the 1982 national championship game between North Carolina and Georgetown often feature Worthy making a signature steal from Hoyas point guard Fred Brown and a tip dunk over Georgetown center Patrick Ewing, which capped a 28-point performance on 13-of-17 shooting that earned him the NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player Award.

All the points scored in the UNC vs Georgetown NCAA Championship Game by Michael Jordan (16 pts), James Worthy (28 pts), Patrick Ewing (23 pts), and Eric "Sleepy" Floyd (18 pts).
Basketball hall-of-famer and North Carolina Tar Heels alum James Worthy signs autographs and talks with members of the media before the Tar Heels take on the Michigan State Spartans.
Worthy To Be Inducted In College Hoops Hall
One of just eight UNC players to have his jersey retired, Worthy led the Tar Heels to two Final Four appearances. Coach Dean Smith's team won the NCAA championship in 1982 over Georgetown behind Worthy's 28 points on 13 for 17 shooting from the field. The NCAA title capped a superb final season for the junior forward at Carolina as he was a unanimous first team All-America and the most outstanding player in the ACC Tournament, the NCAA Regional and the Final Four. Worthy, who also won the McKevlin Award as the Athlete of the Year in the ACC.
Worthy helped lead UNC to the national championship game against Indiana as a sophomore in 1981 as he averaged 14.2 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game and had a 50.0 percent field goal percentage after missing much of his freshman season with a broken ankle.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams says James Worthy will replace Michael Jordan as honorary captain when the Tar Heels face Michigan State in the Carrier Classic on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Nov. 11.
Williams says Jordan has a personal commitment he can't get out of.
Magic Johnson will serve as honorary captain for the Spartans.

Taylor Edwards '15 is a psychology major
and education minor.
Randolph-Macon College education students
enrolled in their first Foundations of Education class, taught by Professor Diana
Yesbeck, partnered with John M. Gandy Elementary School on Thursday, October 11,
2012 for Gandy's first Family Science Night. The event offered a hands-on opportunity
for Randolph-Macon College students, who aspire to teach and lead engaging activities
for their future students.
"The partnership between R-MC and Hanover County Public Schools is very strong,
and we strive to support one another in educational endeavors," says Yesbeck. "This
event was one more example of building community with respect to education. Mrs.
Donna Kouri, fifth-grade and science lead teacher at Gandy Elementary School, organized,
promoted, and led the event for approximately 45 students and their parents."
During Family Science Night, students rotated among science experiments and actively
engaged and interacted with science, all of which was hands-on inquiry-based learning.
R-MC Chemistry Professor John Thoburn contributed
to the science experiments by demonstrating to students different states of matter.
"As all of our education students are required to complete fieldwork observations,
we are encompassing evening events such as this as part of the fieldwork requirements—most
especially in the area of elementary science, where the activities are engaging,
interactive, and filled with inquiry," says Yesbeck. "There were numerous 'a-ha'
moments throughout the evening—by Gandy students as well as R-MC students. The elementary
students each took home an activity packet of 'kitchen science' so that they can
continue the learning process. It is our hope that evenings such as Family Science
Night are just the beginning of a lifetime of discovery and wonder."

A Loving Christmas
My family is wacky. What family isn't? Not only are my loved ones completely loco, they're loco on all branches! My family tree is so diverse that choosing who to spend Christmas with has become a chore in itself. But there is one place where my family of 5 always goes on Christmas Eve; my grandparents.
Now to clarify, I have three different sets of grandparents, and each set is still alive and kicking (heck, one can even run and jump the stairs, and he turns 76 on New Year's Eve!) But the one I'm referring to are my dad's mom and stepfather.
Every year we go up to my grandparents' with presents in tow, where we meet my 5' 1" grandmother and my 6' 2" grandfather. My grandmother dotes about the kitchen making a good ole southern homemade breakfast: sausage, cheesy eggs, chocolate gravy, biscuits, and more! My grandmother is barely 68, and yet is such a strong-willed (if tiny) woman who loves her kids and grandkids more than life itself.
After initial helloes and hugs, my aunt is there to squeeze and tease. Being my dad's half-sister and younger by 16 years she barely 31, and she's the typical FUN AUNT. Tattoos, piercings, gaudy jewelry, heeled boots and kinky-curly hair, my aunt looks emo-grown-up to the untrained eye. But underneath all of that, you see the ink she chose to put on her body: Love, Faith, and a tribute Hawaiian tattoo to our recently deceased great-aunt (my grandmother's older sister; died of liver cancer this July) added with a fairy— designed by your' s truly— to celebrate a divorce from a suffocating marriage. You can see the strong soul and gentle heart within the rough-looking exterior. She's a hugger and a soapboxer, but she's my favorite aunt.
After breakfast (where all eight of our fat assess are gathered around a tiny table in a tiny kitchen in a 2-story 100-year-old house that looks barely 40) we open presents. I sit in my annual seat on the brickwork in front of the mantle, my sister in the hall next to the stairs, my mom and dad across the room on opposite ends of the couch with my aunt snuggled in between, my grandfather next to me in his chair sticking stray bows on his bald head, and my grandmother up and about handing out gifts.
Because we know each other so well, we all get something we love or need. My haul this year was a set of acrylic and oil paints, brushes, small 10x10in canvases, a book, a 5lb block of elastic molding clay, and jewelry galore—a few more pairs of jeans don't hurt either. My sister was similar, except she goes for the knitting/crochet/cross stitch type. My brother had action figures, and I'm sure my parents were satisfied with their haul too.
When presents are done we attack the desserts—which, again, are all homemade—and we spend the entire day together. We are so close as a family that looking at each other is like looking in a mirror. I love Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day, for the simple traditions that are kept every year—and the family that we get to share those traditions with. Laughter and smiles is what makes my days so wonderful, and spending those moments together makes them the most cherished.
But usually when you see your parents acting like little kids again is when you laugh the hardest.

Why do you people have to spam Snookies blog with your crap!
Think 27 hours is long??? No disrespect to the lovely Snooks but that's a walk in the park. My first I was in non established labour (I wasn't dilating) for 15 DAYS!!! Waters trickling, 3 'shows' & contractions for several hours before stopping for about 2 hours & starting again. I was in hospital for 3 days before I was finally rushed to theatre for an emergency Cesarean Section. My 2nd child ruptured the amniotic sac at 27 weeks. I was 30 weeks & 2 days when I had my show & went into slow labour & had her 6 days later again by emergency Cesarean Section.
So all in all 27 hours is not "way too long to be in labour"
Everyone is different when it comes to labor yours was just quick.
I was in labour with my son for 21 hours so it is possible and awful long process on your first those who are in and out are lucky ones!
I feel your pain, I was in labour for 55 hours before it ended in a C-section!
I am the tiniest person ever like smaller than you snooks and I had to be induced so my labor was 7hrs for my first son who is now 3mths old. Even though it was short my contractions were 2minutes apart so I had constant pain every 2minutes for like 5hrs straight! !! That was unbelievable and up til this day I ask my fiance how come women dont go insane from that pain…..its the worsttttt…..but so worth it now lol
I'm tiny too. Only 146cms tall. I've had 3 children (1 boy followed by 2 girls) & before falling pregnant with them I was between 110-117lbs. My boy was 7lbs 13oz, 1st girl was 2lb 11oz & my youngest (I was 110lbs when I fell pregnant with this one) was a whopping 8lbs 14oz!!! That was a tough ride.
It funny how she said she took like a champ and then said she took pain medication have a 8 pound one ounce baby Vaginaly with no pain medication i took it took it like champ for 17 hours felt everything yup
Hey anonymous i think its funny u wanna talk smack and not have the balls to post your name. Smh. Paineds or not delivering a baby isnt a wall on the park i had the pain meds too but i felt like i ran a marathon after i pushed my son out.
Walk in the park*
I was in labor with my first son for 2 &' half days and I'm very tiny . I only weighed bout 107-110 before getting pregnant and I'm only 4'9 . I was induced at 40 weeks &' 4 days and had my son 2 days later (by c-section) cause he wouldn't come down . Getting induced is the worst pain ever !!!
I was in labor for 34 hrs I was induced cause I was 2wks late and after hrs of pain to the point where the meds weren't really working any more 3 epidurals and trying to push for 3 hrs I had to have a c section cause my son turned sunny side up and wasn't coming down with contractions. It was my first pregnancy and probably will be my last cause I don't wish to repeat the experience at all.
Mine was definitely scary try planning a water birth and then your midwife not wanna come and tell you to get an epidural when she knew damn well I didn't want one for multiple reasons and I had my son really quick but it did hurt but I'd do it again cause it was well worth it!

Conversion of Mass to Moles Help
Avogadro's Number
In 1811, Italian physicist, Amedeo Avogadro, presented a theory in the Journal de Physique that the mass of one mole of a sample contains the same basic number of particles as in 12 grams of 12 C. That number of atoms is called Avogadro's number or a mole of sample.
Avogadro's number (N) or one mole (mol) is equal to 6.02 × 10 23 atoms or molecules.
If you wanted to find the number of molecules in 1.35 moles, you would multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number.
6.022 × 10 23 × 1.35 moles = 8.1297 × 10 23 molecules
Avogadro's Law
That same year, Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of different gases at the same pressure and temperature all contain the same number of particles. Like Avogadro's number, this observation was used to solve chemical bonding and molecular composition problems.
To better understand the size of Avogadro's number, think of the size of a pea. If one mole of peas were spread over the earth's surface, then the surface would be covered by a layer nearly 20 miles thick. A high-speed computer can count all the fish in the sea in less than a second, but would take over a million years to count a mole of fish.
Atomic Mass
The atomic mass for a given element in the Periodic Table is measured out in grams equal to one mole of atoms of that element. The molar mass (MM) of elements and compounds is the mass, in grams, equal to the atomic and formula masses of those elements and compounds. Molar mass is measured in grams/mole.
Conversion Of Mass To Moles
In the course of an experiment, it is usually necessary to figure out the mass of an element. For example, you might be asked to calculate the mass of 2 moles of potassium (K). To do this, you need a conversion factor that changes moles to mass. The conversion of moles to mass would look like this:
2.0 mol K × 39.0 g/mol K = 78.0 g
How about finding the number of moles in 124 grams of calcium? Mass to moles then would be mol/g:
124 g × 1 mol Ca/40.1 g = 3.09 mol Ca
Using these simple conversion factors, then, a chemist is able to find the molar mass of a compound. The following solution of CaCO 3 demonstrates how it works:
Ca = 1 mol Ca × 40.1 g/mol Ca = 40.1 g
C = 1 mol C × 12.0 g/mol C = 12 g
O = 3 mol O × 16 g/mol O = 48.0 g
Molar mass = 100.1 g/mol CaCO 3
To see the % of each element in CaCO 3 , you would take the mass of each element in the one mole sample and then divide by the molar mass.
% Ca = 40.1 g Ca/100.1 g CaCO 3 × 100 = 40.1%
% C = 12 g C/100.1 g CaCO 3 × 100 = 12.0%
% O = 48 g O/100.1 g CaCO 3 × 100 = 48.0%

Oh beautiful British Columbia, how you are Canada's paradox. You are the land of the Super Natural. I've seen your majestic mountains, stunning ocean and beautiful urban parks. You have it all West Coasters; Gentle winters, liberal politicians, booming film industry, affluent citizens and a commendable appreciation for CFL. You even had the Olympics.
