Have you missed thé event of 2011? Don't leave your chance in 2012 pass you by!
Only once a year, an event is organized that really feels like a glove. An event where creativity, branding and marketing come together, where you get the answer to the questions: how do I increase added value to my product with packaging? How to make my packaging more exciting and let it stand out in the shelf? How do I keep my product fresh longer? What can I do with the addition of new dimensions as fragrance and sound?
PACKAGING INNOVATIONS showed last year that it's possible to get the right parties into contact with each other… Blending The Best.
Keynote Robert Monaghan

Researchers comparing different kinds of baby formula found that soy based formulas are just as healthy as milk based.
A study in the journal Pediatrics looked at infant development during the first year of life.
It found no difference in mental, motor or language skills between babies fed soy formula or cow milk formula.
But the study found that breastfed babies scored slightly higher in mental development than those raised on formula.

By Stephen Schramm Staff writer
NORTH AUGUSTA S.C. - Theo Pinson has been on this roller coaster for a while now.
When he was a skinny 11 year old, he went to a basketball camp in Ohio. Things went well and, after returning home to Greensboro, a website listed him as the best fifth grader in the nation.
His father, Theo Pinson Sr., already had reason to think his son was special. When he was five, his youth league coach raved about him. He played in leagues against older kids until he was eight.
"He would always stand out, whatever team he was on," Pinson Sr. said.
But this? This felt different. It was time for a father-son talk.
"I explained it to him early," Pinson Sr. said. "I said, 'Look, when you see that, have fun with it, say whatever you want at the house, but I don't want to see you out there bragging about it, getting a big head and all that.' "
Talk to those around the 6-foot-5 rising junior and they'll tell you he listened to his father.
Pinson's star has risen as his high school career has snaked from Oak Ridge Military Academy to Wesleyan Christian. He's spent time working with USA Basketball's developmental programs in each of the past two summers. These days, he's ranked No. 13 by ESPN and No. 16 by Rivals.com in the Class of 2014.
But almost as much as they've supported him by traveling to camps and tournaments and cheering from the bleachers, Pinson Sr. and Theo's mother Barbara Pinson - a former basketball player at UNC-Charlotte - have tried to make sure their son is able to handle the frenzy his talents could create.
"They don't have a lot of 'yes' men around him," said Jon Adams, Pinson's coach on the CP3 All-Stars AAU team.
If there's an environment that could test a teenage basketball player's perspective, it's the annual Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C. The AAU tournament is the most well-attended event on the summer circuit. College coaches swarm the four courts of the Riverview Park Activities Center.
When Pinson grabs a ball off the rack and flings it toward the basket, starting the pregame shootaround for the CP3 All-Star's first game of the tournament, North Carolina's Roy Williams and Indiana's Tom Crean are among the throng lined up along the gym wall across from the benches. He's the youngest player on the team but by far its most watched. His long frame and high-end speed allow him to guard most positions. And his shooting touch and quick first step make him difficult to defend.
Pinson shoots the coaches a glance during warmups.
"Oh yeah, I think everybody in the gym does that," Pinson said. "Everybody looks over there knowing all these great coaches are here."
On Thursday, Duke made it known that he had a scholarship offer. Days earlier, he'd received one from North Carolina to go along with offers from N.C. State, Louisville, Georgetown and Indiana among others.
In his first game Thursday, Pinson is quiet, scoring 15 points and notching five rebounds while dealing with foul trouble in a lopsided win. His teammates - including Wake Forest recruit Greg McClinton - are more than enough to overwhelm a team from Arkansas.
"With this team, I just trust my teammates," Pinson said. "Our point spread is so good, I don't even worry about scoring. I just worry about winning games."
After going through the handshake line, he heads back to the bench where nearly a dozen reporters materialize around him. They want to know where he's headed.
"I'm going to take my time, it's a huge decision," Pinson says.
The scene at the Peach Jam isn't much different from home, he says. Back in Greensboro, friends and strangers pepper him with similar questions.
In a way, it's been like this since before he was a teenager. He's always had the questions. He's always had the attention. But as the interview wraps up and the next game gets ready to start, he's at peace with it.
"It's life," Pinson said.

Understanding the requirements for switchboards and panelboards in Article 408
Discuss this Article 5
Dear Sir,
We recently had a case where an unidentified electrical cabinet's cover was broken off while performing another task. It turned out that there was live exposed 220v wiring as well as live 24v circuits in the same cabinet. The apprentice electrician was working on the 24v circuit.
I see this as a hazard, firstly because the power supply wasn't isolated while the worker was working on it, secondly because "high voltage" (220v) and 24v circuits were incorporated in the same cabinet, thirdly because the cabinet was not identified as containing high voltage (or the yellow triangle with the inverted lightning symbol), and fourthly because this cabinet was situated aproximately 1.5 metres from the tar seal on the haul road.
Please comment on this and share your thoughts.
Is there guidance on whether spare circuit breakers in a panelboard should be left in the On or Off position?
Can you use a switchboard as a raceway
Hi! I've got a question. If my 800 amp switch board is grounded and the ground of that board feeds my 200 amp sub, do I need to add a ground to that or just bonding?
Is it required to use a rubber mat in front of switchboards?

A winding-up petition against Salford City Reds has been adjourned until January 7.
The petition was brought 12 days ago by Cheshire-based management consultants Steuer Greggson over an unpaid bill and was presented in Manchester today.
Salford agreed a settlement with the company before the hearing began but the petition remains active after HM Revenue & Customs joined the action, along with two of the club's former players, Luke Patten and Vinnie Anderson, who are both owed wages.
"Luke was substituted as the petitioning creditor and Vinnie is supporting the petition, which was adjourned to the 7th of January," said Richard Cramer, the players' legal representative.
A Salford spokesman confirmed the new date but said the club expected the matters to be resolved before then. He said the City Reds would be issuing a statement later today.
Salford are thought to be at an advanced stage in talks to secure new ownership and investment aimed at resolving their financial crisis.
Patten, who retired at the end of the season and has returned to Australia, and Anderson, who is expected to play his rugby in France next season, are each thought to be owed around £40,000, while HMRC are thought to be seeking more than £50,000 in unpaid tax.
The players' wage bill for October was settled last week but, according to Cramer, Patten and Anderson are owed back pay relating to a salary sacrifice arrangement which they entered into.
"They don't want to see any harm come to the club but they did what they had to do," said Cramer. "It's been a bit a bit of a worry for both of them.
"They were hoping a deal would have been finalised by now and they could have been paid up.
"I am cautiously optimistic that they will get their money but they need the deal to go through."
The cash-strapped City Reds moved into the new City of Salford Stadium earlier this year but have constantly struggled to keep their heads above water and have made no secret of their desire for new investment.
Long-serving chairman John Wilkinson is thought to be prepared to hand over control if a suitable deal can be finalised.
Talks have been on-going between club bosses, Salford City Council and ground owners Peel Holdings.
One man desperate for the deal to go through is head coach Phil Veivers, who has yet to start his recruitment for 2013.
Patten and Anderson were among seven players to have left the club at the end of the 2012 season.
Veivers, who arrived back from a trip to his native Australia on Friday, has lined up five potential signings and is waiting for the go-ahead to complete the paperwork.
"I keep being told it's going to happen," he said. "I've got players waiting to come and they're all hungry."
The Reds will report back for pre-season training on November 7 and Veivers says Australian centre Joel Moon will be among them after rejecting an offer from Leeds Rhinos.
"He's definitely coming back and that's massive for us," Veivers said. "He was really good for us prior to his injuries."
Meanwhile, Salford say payments will be made to Patten and Anderson before the re-arranged hearing.
A spokesman said: "The club maintains that payments owed to these players will be made on time and in advance of the second court date.
"This matter relates to contractual payments not due to be made until the end of November.
"The club are still in discussions regarding future investment."

One reason I love the Core Knowledge Sequence is because of its commitment to building a common American culture. Even pop culture isn't so common anymore, what with our ever-splintering media environment. But surely all American kids, no matter their backgrounds or zip codes, should learn about our country's folk heroes: Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Annie Oakley, and many more. Here are some videos and movies to get you started.
Daniel Boone leads settlers into Kentucky, but he must battle Shawnee Indians who have been persuaded by a French renegade that Boone and the settlers are there to kill them and steal their land.

On November 5th, Colorado voters head to the polls to decide whether they want to substantially raise their taxes to better fund schools (and, separately, to regulate their newly legal pot—but more on that some other time). The plan, known as Amendment 66, is spearheaded by State Senator Mike Johnston (D) and funded by a coalition of teacher unions and others. It would raise income taxes by $950 million by ditching the state's flat tax of 4.63 percent. In its place would be a system with two rates: 5 percent for incomes at or below $75,000 per year and 5.9 percent for incomes above $75,000.
Passage of the amendment would green-light a previously passed and wide-ranging bill, also led by Johnston, designed to revamp the existing school-funding formula and divvy up the new money, if taxpayers decide to provide it. The bill has some ideas that, by themselves, should be fairly popular. For example, it lifts caps on preschool and Kindergarten enrollment, moves away from an easy-to-manipulate, single enrollment-count day, and refreshes the funding formula to weight for poverty and ELL status, among other factors. But, to many others, the cost to taxpayers seems outrageously high.
Supporters and opponents are sharply at odds when it comes to what this proposal might mean and, of course, whether it should pass. But those on both sides feel certain of one thing: The final result is sure to be a nail biter. Here's a breakdown of five factors that could make the...
Dear Deborah,
Thanks for the opportunity to debate the critical issues in education and social policy with you. You are an icon and a hero, and it's been a true honor.
Someday I'd like to write a book on anti-poverty efforts, and I hope it might have the title above. Understanding that my knowledge about this vast topic is still limited, here's a first cut at the basic outline. I think you'll agree that there are quite a few items on the list about which we can agree.
Introduction: A smart anti-poverty strategy starts with three principles:
1. Think intergenerationally.
We'd all like to see greater social mobility in America, but we need to be realistic about what's achievable. It's never been the case that many of the poorest Americans have gone from rags to riches over the course of their own lives. More common has been an intergenerational story: The penniless, uneducated immigrant arrives through Ellis Island and lands in an urban slum. But then, via hard work and sacrifice (and, in some cases, help from the government or from trade unions), he gets a foothold in the economy, makes sure his own children learn English and do well in school, and ensures they make it into the great American middle class. And the third generation climbs even higher.
Poverty, by this telling, isn't such a problem if it's...
Taiwan (a.k.a. the Republic of China or Chinese Taipei) has much going for it in the education realm, particularly its sky-high results on international assessments, but it also has plenty of problems in this sphere. Some came as no great surprise when I visited. The country has too many universities, for example, especially as the population shrinks, plus a fixation on everybody attending them even if their life plans don't require it. That government schools charge tuition, however modest, for compulsory education, strikes an American visitor as peculiar and slightly unfair. I surely don't love the practice of letting teachers select their schools with the principal having almost no say in the process. Even worse: It's all but impossible to redeploy, reassign, or dismiss teachers, however inefficient or ineffectual (or just plain unnecessary) their present roles. It also struck me as questionable to lump gifted students into special education—but then give nearly all the dedicated resources to the disabled kids who share that overarching designation. Gifted education ends up getting short shrift.
All worrying, yes, and definitely worth reforming, but not mind-bendingly unexpected. Here's what was: Besides its influential teacher union, Taiwan has a powerful parent union that now appears to cause at least as much harm as it does good. (In private, the educators I met all agreed with this judgment.)
Walk through the front door of a Taiwanese public school—the door I first walked through belongs to one of the most respected high schools in the land—and one...
In the next school year, field testing of new Common Core assessments will be complete, and states will be faced with the weighty decision about which tests they will use to measure student learning going forward. Two state consortia, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), are currently developing the leading options for Common Core–aligned assessments. But states in which anti–Common Core sentiment runs deepest have begun to back away from the consortia (to date, four states—Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Utah—have officially withdrawn), leading to consternation among Common Core supporters and joy among detractors. This has left remaining states in a pickle: If additional states withdraw, will the cost of consortia-developed assessments skyrocket as the fixed costs are spread over fewer states? This new report from the Brookings Institution's Brown Center sought out answers—and contains good news for those states choosing to stay the course. After calculating the projected costs for consortia-developed assessments, summarizing key differences between the two, and estimating the costs for non-consortia testing options such as ACT-developed assessments and vendor-developed, state-specific tests, author Matthew Chingos found that price fluctuations that could occur if more states withdraw would be relatively minor. For example, even when considering the possible departure of Florida, PARCC's second-largest member, the price of PARCC's tests would only increase by about 60 cents per student. If only the fifteen states currently field testing PARCC were to ultimately adopt the tests, test costs would increase by just $2.50 per...
Louisiana recently released A-to-F school grades for the 2012–13 school year. These are the first results from the state's new accountability system.
I take away three big things from the release. First, states are getting increasingly sophisticated about accountability systems. Second, the changes made by Louisiana's leaders show that there's no such thing as a perfect system—to have an accountability system is to make subjective, and therefore debatable, decisions. Third, the early indications are that, as was the case in Massachusetts and Florida over the last decade plus, Louisiana's strong accountability system is contributing to improved student results.
Here are the facts. Schools are now scored on a 150-point scale (down from the previous 200-point scale), and several changes were made to the measures comprising the rankings. Attendance no longer counts toward scores at elementary schools, and high school scores take into account student performance on the ACT—Louisiana recently became the 10th state to have all high school students take the ACT. The education department no longer gives schools points for students who score below grade level, and schools can qualify for bonus points for improving the performance among their lowest-performing students.
For comparison purposes, the state released letter grades based on the old system in addition to the new ratings. The former criteria would have resulted in both more A-ranked schools and more F-ranked schools. The...
Senators and Representatives: It's an honor to be with you today. My name is Mike Petrilli; I'm the executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a right-of-center education-policy think tank in Washington, D.C., that also does on-the-ground work in the great state of Ohio. I was honored to serve in the George W. Bush Administration; my boss, Chester Finn, served in the Reagan Administration. Perhaps most importantly, I was raised in the Midwest, in St. Louis, Missouri. It's great to be back in the heartland. (Go Cardinals!)
As a strong conservative and a strong supporter of the Common Core, I'm here to urge you to stay the course with these standards and with the Smarter Balanced assessments.
Still, unlike some other Common Core supporters, I'm glad that you are holding this hearing and debating the issue of whether Wisconsin should stick with the Common Core. These standards were developed by the states, and to be successful, they need to be owned by the states. Our educators are all too familiar with the "flavor of the month"—reforms that come and go. They are wondering if they should wait this one out too. By having this open debate on the Common Core, you can settle the issue once and for all—and either change course or move full speed ahead.
It's also true that when states, including Wisconsin, adopted these standards three years ago, there wasn't nearly enough engagement of parents, teachers, or policymakers. I believe a lot of the resistance...
Here's a simple thought experiment:
Sam and Ben are eight-year-old identical twins. Like most identical twins, they are the same in almost every way. They do, however, differ in two important respects: Sam is smarter than Ben, but Ben is naturally a harder worker. So here's my question: All other things being equal (in this case, quite literally), which twin is likely to be a more successful adult?
The answer is Ben, the harder worker. Ben has a far greater chance of achieving success than does Sam. And this is an unacceptable consequence of our country's inadequate education system, particularly its ineffective education of higher-ability students.
Hard work is a more learned characteristic than is intelligence. Circumstances can easily lead someone to work harder; intelligence is a more fixed attribute (if not fixed entirely). But BOTH of these attributes—hard work and ability—are vital for success.
Let's look at two possible outcomes for the stars of our story. In this instance, Sam and Ben are in the same math class learning long division. They have four days to learn it before they're tested. Sam can learn long division in two days; Ben can grasp the same concept in four.
Outcome 1: Sam only wanted to work for one day; Ben toiled for all four. Regardless of ability, Sam is now behind Ben. Outcome 2: Both twins put in the required time to learn long division. And both do well on the test. BUT Sam's time was wasted for two days...

In June, NPR wondered if "Michigan Might Provide a Template for States Hoping to Leave Common Core," but now things seem to have changed. Has Michigan found a winning legislative strategy for keeping the standards?
At the risk of speaking too soon, it's possible that Michigan has struck the right balance to allay concerns (mostly, but not entirely, concerns on the right) about the Common Core with a resolution that just passed the House after modifications were made by the Senate to the original House version. Following a "pause" of the standards that effectively defunded their implementation beginning October 1st, State Representative Tim Kelly sought—and seems to have found—a workable solution. The deal passed via a voice vote (no one officially registers a vote in support or in opposition) in the Senate on October 24 and in the House today. This development should make most proponents happy: A state has successfully defended the standards while—perhaps—calming many of the criticisms.
To be clear, though, Common Core aficionados will not be entirely pleased. For while the standards themselves seem safe for now, whether Michigan will actually administer the Smarter Balanced assessments seems far from certain. The House-approved language directs the State Board of Education and the Education Department staff to issue a report by December 1st that will essentially contain a menu of options relating to student assessments for the Legislature to consider...
Given the highly favorable reviews and rave blurbs from such diverse figures as former New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, one might expect Amanda Ripley's new book on international educational practices, The Smartest Kids in the World, to offer arresting revelations about how to improve America's education system.
Currently, at least as measured by the Program for Student International Assessment (PISA), America's students from each level of family income perform more poorly than students in the most educationally successful countries. Ripley thus sets out to draw lessons from Finland, South Korea, and Poland, which have achieved strong educational gains for their students. Certainly, as we digest—year after year—data on our own students that attests to their middling performance on international comparisons, tragic and persistent learning gaps among different segments of the population, and depressingly high college remediation rates, lessons from the best-performing countries in the world could not be more welcome.
What is thus surprising about Ripley's book is how little it contains that is really news; instead, it serves to remind us in powerful terms that we simply haven't acted on what we already know. Education systems work when

REFLECTIONS about the greenhouse effect. Scientists already knew that carbon dioxide, a by-product of fossil-fuel combustion combustion, trapped solar infrared radiation that would otherwise have been reflected back into space. It was Svante Arrhenius, employing measurements of infrared radiation from the full moon, who did the first calculations of the possible effects of man's stepped-up production of carbon dioxide. The average global temperature, he concluded would rise as much as nine degrees Fahrenheit if the amount of carbon dioxide in the air doubled from its pre-industrial level; that is, heat waves in mid-American latitudes would run as high as 130 deg., the seas would rise several metres, crops would wither in the fields. The earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen; it is only about .035% carbon dioxide, which is hardly more than a trace. The worries about the greenhouse effect are worries about raising that figure to .055 or .06 %, which is not very much. But enough, it turns out, to make everything different. In 1957, when Revelle and Suess wrote their paper no one even knew for certain whether carbon dioxide was increasing. The Scripps Institution hired a young researcher, Charles Keeling, and he set up monitoring stations at the South Pole and on the side of Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, eleven thousand feet above the Pacific. His data soon confirmed their hypothesis: more and more carbon dioxide was entering the atmosphere. When the first readings were taken, in 1958, the atmosphere at Mauna Loa contained about 315 parts per million of carbon dioxide.

Stencyl book out now – create games without code
3My new Stencyl book, Learning Stencyl 3.x Game Development: Beginner's Guide, published by Packt Publishing is now available! If you want to learn how to create a video game, but don't want to learn a programming language, this is a great place to start. (more…)
The Stencyl book is nearly here – pre-order discount!
12The Stencyl book is now only days away from publication, and anyone who pre-orders it from the Packt Publishing web site can get a 20% discount (link below)!
Solving problems in Stencyl – thinking outside the box
1I extend my apologies for the lack of blog updates - I've been working on my Stencyl 3.0 book for Packt Publishing and almost 70% of the book has been written. I'll provide a more detailed update in a later post. In the meantime, this is a relatively short post to encourage the use of lateral thinking when a problem needs to be solved in Stencyl. (more…)
Game attributes and Game Saves in Stencyl
0In previous tutorials, we've had a look at how to use attributes in a Stencyl game, and also how to access attributes in other actors. However, normal attributes are limited to being used within a scene and, once a different scene becomes active, any attribute information created in the earlier scene is lost forever. This is where game attributes come into play! When we need to keep track of information across the whole game – not just a particular scene, game attributes are exactly what we need. In this short tutorial, we'll have a quick look at how game attributes work, and also how they can be used to save our players' game information. (more…)
Stencyl Book update
6In my last post to this blog, I announced the upcoming Stencyl book that I am working on for Packt Publishing, provisionally entitled, Stencyl 3.0 Game Development Beginner's Guide.
Since making that announcement, I have had an amazing number of responses offering encouragement, assistance, sample code, advice as to how the book should be structured, etc. Firstly, I must say how pleased, and grateful, I am to have received such a positive response – it's a testament to the enthusiasm and generosity of the Stencly community.
I can now provide a little more (but not too much!) information about the format of the book, and its content:
Learning Stencyl Game Development – the book!
4I'm pleased (and somewhat excited) to announce that I recently signed a contract with Packt Publishing to write a "Beginner's Guide" book for Stencyl 3!
The book is aimed at those who are new to game development, but also at experienced developers and designers who want to use a development toolkit that can target multiple desktop and mobile platforms. (more…)
Getting Attributes from other Actors in Stencyl
6In this latest Stencyl tutorial, we'll have a look at how to retrieve (or 'Get') Attribute values from other Actors in your Stencyl game.
Why would you want to do that? It's very common to need to deduct health points when a collision occurs between a player and an enemy, or to add bonus points when there is a collision with a power-up. If each of the enemies or power-ups has its own value then, somehow, the player is going to have to find out what that value is, so it can carry out the required action. If you read the tutorial about Attributes in Stencyl, you'll already know that Actors can be programmed to store and modify their own values in an Attribute, but the next step is to learn how to access the values of other actors' Attributes…
About Stencyl Attributes (and a bit more debugging)!
9If you are new to programming and creating games with Stencyl, then attributes might be something that you haven't learnt how to use yet. However, learning about attributes is vital if you want to progress your Stencyl coding beyond the absolute minimum.
The purpose of this post is to cover the basics of attributes before we move on to more detail about them in a later article.
Debugging in Stencyl : The Debug Console and Runtime Errors (2 of ?)
11This is the second article in a series about debugging errors in Stencyl and, this time, we're going to look at what 'runtime' errors are, and the tools you can use to track them down in your code. If you missed the first article about debugging in Stencyl, I recommend reading that one first (http://www.thestencylblog.com/2012/06/19/debugging-stencyl-part-1/) and coming back to this article later.
Runtime errors are somewhat trickier than the compilation errors that we discussed in the previous article because they do not manifest themselves when you create the game; as the name suggests, they appear at runtime when the game could already be in the hands of the customer!

I recently gave my five year old twins a Nintendo DS for their birthday. They had been playing their sisters' games and enjoying them regularly so I wasn't surprised when they pulled them out every chance they got.
They were texting each other!
First of all, I didn't know that a Nintendo DS had this feature. Second of all, my twins are non-readers and non-writers. So how were they texting? In rebus style!
I shouldn't be surprised. This is why I love technology. Kids do things with technology that exceed my expectations. All. the. time.

The Prom...
The prom went off without a hitch as far as I know...Jeff is still sleeping, and I haven't gotten the run-down from him yet, as if he's likely to tell me!
I arrived here after running to the clinic to squeeze in an afternoon massage client, to find his date already here. They were watching something on TV....This is the first time Jeff has ever had to wear a tuxedo, and man...he looked so handsome! So grown up!
The table was already set with the good china. The potatoes were already baking. I left instructions to turn them on at 4:30. DH started the steaks, I began to make salads, heat rolls, cook veggies, and saute the shrimp.
They ate by candlelight and I served them their dinner on my great grandmother's engish china. I think they had a good time, even if it wasn't a restaurant. We took pics before all the light was gone outside. Lily's mom picked them up after dinner to chauffer them to the Prom. From the prom they were being transported back to the school for the "after prom" all nighter that the school puts on. They actually keep all the kids participating INSIDE so there is no hanky panky and no drunk driving going on on prom night.
The school is only two blocks away, and the one thing I can complain about is that every hour they were making announcements over the loud speaker that I could hear from my HOUSE through the open windows! ARGHG! It was nice knowing that the kids were there having a good time, but what a pain for all the houses in the neighborhoods that surround the school to have to listen to that all night?
The plan was that when the school opened the doors to let everyone home about 5am, that they would go out to breakfast at waffle house and then come home. I don't think they ever made it to waffle house because Jeff came in about 5am and straight to bed he went and he is still there now. I guess that means that he really had a good time, plenty of food at the afterprom at the school, and he is TIRED! I'll get the full story after he wakes up and is coherent again.
The Tux jacket we rented has to go back between 1pm and 6pm today....which reminds me that I've got some DVD's to take back...and since the time changed last night, I'm already late on returning them. DANG! OH well. Such is life!

What a handsome son, Bonnie! Doesn't it just make your heart melt? Just like when you first laid eyes on his precious little face? (Oh geez...better stop that...I'm getting teary-eyed...my baby boy is going to prom too, at the end of the month.)
I think it was a great idea for you and your dh to serve them such a perfect meal! (I may just have to suggest that to my prom go-ers.)

Three couples crowded into a Philadelphia brownstone attempt to live together without losing their minds in this filmed performance of David E. Talbert's popular stage play. It seems that the romance in all three couples' relationships has hit the skids, and Monique Graham's (Deborah Cox) displeasure with her commitment-phobic boyfriend Anthony (Mel Jackson) is only the beginning of the romantic woes. Single mother Epiphany (Joi Campbell) is hard-pressed when forced to make a choice between her current boyfriend, Reggie (Chico Benymon), or her precocious six-year-old son, Man Man (Robbie Lewis Jr). And speaking of epiphanies, Ms. Willanetta's (Cassi Davis) recent religious experience has forced her to question her relationship with Renzo (Buddy Lewis), a man with whom she has been romantically involved with for over a decade. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Jerusalem's 'new Wailing Wall' causes tensions in the Old City
Israel has widened worshippers' access to a revered Jewish site in the heart of the Jerusalem Old City's Muslim Quarter. The move threatens to inflame tensions at one of the world's most contested religious sites. The small courtyard lies less than 100m from the Wailing Wall, one of Judaism's most sacred places; but its proximity to the Al Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, makes the site sensitive to both religions.

What Bullying?
by Anonyme - 18/08/2011 - 00:17
I didn't see anyone bullying anybody else in this report. I only saw about 20 people coming in one afternoon per week for a couple of hours to pray. What's the big deal?
You know Muslims, Christians, Baha'is, etc can now all practice their religions in Israel--now that the Jews are in charge. It was never that way when the Muslims had control.

I'd like to see the Palestinians going into Jewish courtyards and saying their prayers. What are the chances of them having the same freedom to incite?
So opening up an area for freedom of worship is "controversial"?
by Anonyme - 05/04/2011 - 14:33
The scaffolding there never actually held anyhting up, I have seen it myself, there was a small gap between it and the building below.
Freedom of Worship is an important value in Israeli Society, for Jews and for Muslims and it is fantastic that where Muslims are praying a few feet away, so too Jews can pray at this holy site.

Every year the Tulsa's Sheriff's office organizes sting operations to catch vendors failing to check identification cards when serving alcohol at the Tulsa State Fair. On Friday- deputies caught six vendors serving either, beer, wine, or alcohol to minors.
"We know sometimes it is vendor fatigue," said Major Shannon Clark. "They are standing on their feet all day long serving and checking and then one slips by them, but that one might be one of our kids."
The Sheriff's office works with ABLE, Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission, to crack down on vendors during the fair. They "hire" minors to go up to the vendors and ask them for a drink. If the vendor serves them one, then they are approached by a deputy and either, warned, or written a warrant, or fined.
"I am checking your ID," said Tammi Hulsey. Hulsey has been serving frozen margaritas at the fair for nine years. "It doesn't matter if you are 21 or 87, that's the oldest I have ID-ed."
Hulsey knows she can face a fine of $2,500 or five years in the penitentiary for serving alcohol that is over 3.2 percent to a minor. Her vendor booth keeps a date listed every day of the fair of the birthday you have to have to legally drink. She said that helps the vendor fatigue.
"In the nine years we have been here we have never failed a deputy sting operation," said Hulsey.
Josh Pate is a first time beer vendor.
"I was surprised the kids even try it," said Pate.
Pate said he even asks the older people to show their IDs just in case they are undercover people who are hoping to catch me not asking at all.
"If the ID looks different I'll ask what's your address and the younger ones will usually give me a mean look and walk away; I think they should be embarrassed," said Pate.
For selling beer to a minor the fine is $1,000 or a year in jail.

Well, back to the grind. Busy at work again, after a rather quiet week last week. Luckily, I got a bunch of little indy games to play after an otherwise lame steam sale.
Otherwise, not a lot going on. I apparently have 5 trees that need to be taken down due to dutch elm disease, something I'm getting far to used to at this point. But at least it's not 15 like last year, so hopefully it doesn't cost me 3 grand.

i just had a dream that i was in kingdom hearts........i need to cut back on playing that game XD
i just had a dream that i was in kingdom hearts........i need to cut back on playing that game XD
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you have a question about my religion, feel free to ask me or check any of these links (there is more information in my Profile Biography):
I've gotten this attitude lately, which I wan't to lose again ofcourse, I can have several dreams in one "sleep". This is mostly occuring when I'm somewhat more relaxed though. I have my first dream during the majority of the night, after that when it's morning and don't want to get up, I can put myself into a lucid dream. SEVERAL times, I just got back to sleep and live the wildest dreams I want, this however makes some days really short, I've been capable of sleeping 20 hours straight this way, going from one adventure to another one. I do however not like it anymore xD Since it messes up my whole day if I let it happen :/
Dreaming about Ponyo last week.... similar but it was a slug I named as Justify XD nya~
I had a dream a couple nights ago that I was hiking in the snow and froze to death... but I became a ice creature once I died.
I dreamt that I lived another life - my parents are different and I was a loner. I got banned from music, tv, video games, cellphone, drawing and internet for doing something wrong - which was hitting a teacher, running around on invisible powder (something I invented) all the time, crying at school, feeding meat to the wolves, skateboarding in school grounds, skipping classes, guessing to much words in hangman, shoplifting, hitting someone until they bleed, crashing my bike and skateboards on shop glass windows and punching a police.
"I'm going to have to kill myself and live another life where you can never find me!" That's what I said to the pack of policemen in the end
"We'll see about that!"
Well I do live another life atm and I never get into trouble or any sort nya~
Last night I had the.. weirdest and kind of scary dream.. <.> and a bit of adrenaline was put into it >.> basically I don't remember it all, but it... it just was weird. One moment I am fighting with a sword in hand against a person who I cannot see.. by this I mean, well a Shadow guy person >.> Next thing I know, I am against the wall about to get my neck slashed (again >.>')
Good thing I woke up before it happened.. Or I don't even know if he got to do it, but I was pretty relaxed as I awoke <.> >.>
I question why on this dream and the one before I got my neck cut and slashed? <.>? ;^;
We made our beds to lie in them proud,
proud of our great mistakes..

Not to mention, I get dreams of Fennekin. Or, for this matter: Pokémon becoming real <.> and do you all want to know how that ended?
....Badly, except for the weak Pokémon, which soon turned agenst us all <.>'''
Edit: Interesting. I just had a dream Friday night, that I was at a hangout (with pokemon, a lot of Pokémon) and my ex wanted to get rid of all my Pokémon when I was gone. so, he did. I got really angry and had partial Infernape styled clothes and hair... all thanks to the Burst Wisp. It was weird. I was looking at games and cards.
....odd enough, I say Haxy, Saph, and Silver in this dream.

last night i had a really cool dream. My whole house was underwater, and i felt like i was floating. I could breathe, and when i touched my neck i had gills. right as i was about to start exploring i woke up. i was so angry. XD
So I was jumping off a cliff into a lake, and as soon as I hit the water I started swimming to the other side. I had people with me, and apparently I could breaststroke with my head above water, so I was talking with a dude who apparently did not know how to swim. Then this guy who was still on the shore just started jogging on the water, and soon he was ahead of us and standing on the opposite shore.
And then I was in a building, and then my friend who moved away was there, and we both had our DSs with us so we did some trading, and then we were throwing water at each other, and then...
I woke up.
I had a strange dream last night. My girlfriend waxed my legs and painted my nails while I was sleeping. It was very odd xD
I dreamt something CIlan related, which I forgot what it was XD
The other day, I had five dreas, two were the same and the others were random crap about food XD nya~
I had a couple weird dreams. In one, I dreamt that I woke up from a nap and my brother with messing with my face, so I moved my hands to shoo him away. In real life, I actually did move my hands and hit myself in the mouth.
In the other, I was playing Doom 2, in a place I'd never seen before. There were some of the normal monsters around, then there was this other weird thing that's not in the game. It basically looked like the (pinky) demon from Doom 3, although it had graphics like Doom 2 usually would. It was bipedal, had no arms and a human head. It ran around the level, but never attacked. There was also the upper half of a cyberdemon around, basically like someone cut it in half at the waist, and it was balancing upright on its torso. It was attacking with the other monsters, rotating its body to inch forward while still remaining balanced.
Hmm...I've had 2 Doom dreams since I started playing that again a few weeks ago.
That sounds AWESOME
I'm looking for a Serperior named Serpedera. It'll be at lvl 98 or above. If you happen to have such a pokemon please PM me.

You're watching...
FBN's Gerri Willis on why she believes President Obama isn't really open for compromise, despite his claims in today's press conference.
Nov 14, 2012
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
But plaguing her nails to talk right now -- more than enough to say about his news conference.
And anyway -- clean out his yes I know you didn't dispute disagreed as I did two Jack well us from the little support here -- let's go to conference first.
So -- -- and I guess there's -- there's a sense that people are thinking he's going to compromise our president on this fiscal cliff do you.
You haven't -- feeling.
Well I've been watching and waiting for that because I assume there would be some middle ground there and to him hit the middle ground is I don't expect people to accept my I don't expect the Republicans to accept my budget look.
Did not accept your budget much less the GOP.
So that's literally compromise at this point somebody needs to teach the president how to offer an olive branch.
That has not happened I know he starts every comment saying I want compromised I wanna sit down with the GOP I wanna sit down with house Republicans.
But when you listen to the whole statement you can't help but take away.
I have my position I won the election it's my way or the highway.
Which isn't it.
Comes to the point I think that bothered me the most this mandate to help the middle class would about the rest of the country that sits on both sides of the middle class well.
And don't forget 250000.
In this area and other parts other country other large metro areas.
If your family living on 250000 that isn't median income that -- the middle of this the income stream no doubt about it you know.
I think people out there from the tone of the president's comments you get the sense that he thinks the recovery is already here.
Or operating right now but let's not forget in your last guest did not make this point 2.3 million Americans.
Unemployed or under employed in -- problems are not fix not by a long shot.
We still have.
I believe it's one and five Americans on food stamp that's right now.
We're still suffering mightily to the whole idea that we can start January 1 with a whole stream of income taxes -- whole stream.
New taxes on investment -- come.
You put it very well lot of Smart people who can afford an expensive accountants are gonna make sure they don't pay that so where we would be at the end of the day.
Lou Dobbs on earlier said they should kick the can they should pump this -- the new congress kindness and and you know what I don't think people should be worried if they do because taxes -- retro active they will solve this before it becomes an issue.
What do you think on kick in the camp.
You know I that is going to be completely against that -- listening to this I think it's really the only option we put something in place by the end of the year.
That is temporary in nature and then we go back and we to tax reform right that's what everybody wants the left the right people in the middle they -- -- simplified tax code they wanna tax -- that everybody can understand and you know what the rules of the game.
They should hire me I'll go round next -- tell yet if any it's down there Gerri Willis did fix -- I'm net job I know exactly how to do -- yeah.
