Bruno Fattorini and Partners have explored the properties of emerging material technologies in realising the Marina Table, creating a piece where there really is more than meets the eye.
Calling on innovative pull-trusion techniques, the glass fibre, reinforced, polyester resin is drawn through an extrusion offering extended length pieces of the material.
These profiles afford the designer and manufacturer a superior strength and resilience over lengths not possible with existing materials.
Offered with or without integrated bench seating, the Marina Table is an adaptable concept that lends itself perfectly for use indoors or out.

Down East 2013 ©
Photograph by Ted Axelrod
Robert's Maine Grill, located in the heart of the discount-shopping mecca that is Route 1 Kittery, stands out from its surroundings — and not just because of the faux-lighthouse in its parking lot.
Flanked by outlet stores, the dark gray clapboard building is reminiscent of an older, iconic Kittery. One thinks of the historic John Bray homestead in nearby Kittery Point, reportedly the oldest house in Maine. In contrast to the rushing traffic a stone's toss from the restaurant's front doors, an expansive wetlands encompassing Spruce Creek extends out back. Hawks and herons wheel overhead from the vantage point of the restaurant's tranquil back dining porch: the perfect place to sip a Maine lemonade (the traditional drink made extraordinary by the addition of Cold River Blueberry Vodka) or a Dark and Moxie (a Maine version of a Dark & Stormy) while waiting for your meal.
"It's a bit of an oxymoron," admits Michael Landgarten, who also owns Bob's Clam Hut across the street, a landmark more in keeping with the pace and tenor of busy Route 1. "We'd hoped to create an updated version of the traditional Maine seafood house — as if Bob's got gussied up, put on shoes, and went out for a nice dinner."
A Bowdoin College grad who originally got into food because he was looking for a business to support his music avocation (Landgarten played rock guitar and sang), he had no idea he would fall in love when he purchased Bob's twenty-five years ago. "I loved the people and the passion they had for the place. It was so sincere."
His old Bowdoin friends were not surprised. Landgarten had made something of a name for himself during college, painstakingly compiling a list of the best fried fish sandwiches and chocolate shakes within a thirty-mile radius of Brunswick (e.g., Fat Boy's). Running a clam shack seemed a natural extension of the old preoccupation.
Built on the site of the former Quarterdeck Restaurant, Robert's is spacious, well-lit, and casually comfortable. A hammered aluminum bar wraps around the entrance and into the dining area, with super-fresh offerings of raw oysters and clams, as well as shrimp and crabs, on display. Overhead, the restaurant's "Marquee Specials" are proclaimed in a bright art installation using standard Maine road signs lit from within by makeup mirror lights. Walls are lined with nautically themed Maine art and poster-sized photographs.
Local, fresh, and top quality are the principles at work in the kitchen, confirms executive chef Craig Spinney, a local product himself (his ancestors were among the first four families of Eliot, Maine).
"We work hard to find the best sources," Spinney says. For him, that means scallops from Winter Harbor, which are the sweetest he's ever tasted. "We get a call as soon as they're landed, and it's all over our specials board that evening." He's a big fan of organic German butterball potatoes from Misty Meadows Farm in Grand Isle ("We go through seven-hundred pounds of those every two weeks"), mesclun from Sparrow Arc Farm in Unity, and outstanding cheeses from Pineland Farms in New Gloucester.
While standard "fish house" fare such as fried haddock, steamers, boiled lobsters, and meatloaf form the backbone of the menu, Spinney elevates them to something special. His meatloaf is tweaked with a little Moxie, his steamers are redolent of Allagash White beer. The haddock was certainly caught that day, and the oil it was fried in is free of trans fats and replaced often. Traditional Maine "comfort food," such as mac 'n cheese, reaches new heights with the addition of fresh lobster and smoked Pineland cheddar. Spinney even gives his mozzarella sticks a Maine twist by breading and lightly frying Pineland Farms cheese curds and serving them with marinara.
Among the not-to-be-missed items: mussels and chorizo in mustard cream, listed under "starters," but sometimes offered as an entree over linguini. The mussels are sweet, the spicy chorizo adds a little heat, and the mustard cream balances out the whole dish. A hearty lobster bruschetta served on ciabatta with roasted tomato, parmesan, and garlic could be a meal in itself. The Maine seafood paella is perfectly seasoned and presented in a personal, cast-iron pan. Desserts, blessedly, can be ordered in "bite sizes" at reduced prices, although there are not enough superlatives to describe the raspberry pie from Bread & Roses Bakery in Ogunquit. Do not miss it.
With Robert's, Michael Landgarten has definitely advanced well beyond his college-era fried fish sandwich and chocolate shake stage. The food he now serves up would no doubt have made the top of his old list.
Robert's Maine Grill is located on Route 1 in Kittery. It is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Appetizers $7.95-$15.95; entrees $15.95-$28.95; desserts $2.95-$6.95. 207-439-0300. www.robertsmainegrill.com

Hi. Thought I'd post in here to introduce myself and say how pleased I am to have found this forum.
I had my first child 6 weeks ago. I'd had a perfectly normal pregnancy until week 35, when I had what I thought was just a migraine - albeit a really bad one. It turned out to be pre-eclampsia. They first tried to get my BP under control, but couldn't, so then they tried inducing a natural birth, but this caused abnormalities in my baby's heart rate. Meanwhile my BP just kept rising, even though they were giving me medication for it. After the failed induction, they did an emergency c-section. Despite being almost 36 weeks, Eleanor weighed 3lb 11oz at birth and was rushed to special care. I spent just over a week in hospital while they got my BP under control. I couldn't see Eleanor for the first few days and was unable to produce enough milk to breastfeed her (I have just this last week given up trying - I was getting about 2-3ml each time I pumped, every precious drop being given to my little girl - but in the last few days my milk seems to have completely gone). Eleanor was in special care for 3 weeks, but luckily never had anything wrong with her - they kept her in because she was so small for her dates and needed help feeding.
Eleanor now weighs almost 6lb and is doing really well (she seems to want to be at least 7lb by the time she is 2 months old!). I'm still on reasonable doses of labetalol and nifedipine, but am doing well too. It's been really tough, but we definitely count ourselves lucky. The pre-eclampsia came as such a surprise and there wasn't much info/advice on complications in pregnancy during antenatal classes etc. or how complications could affect breastfeeding. I think there needs to be far more info available.

Tigers lose in overtime at Oberlin
September 10, 2005
September 10, 2005, Oberlin, Ohio - The DePauw field hockey team slipped to 1-1 on the season following a 4-3 loss at Oberlin.
The Tigers jumped out to a 2-0 lead on first-half goals by Meredith Ellis and Allison Baccich, but the Yeowomen battled back to tie the game at 2-2 with late first-half scored by Lela Hull and Abigail Brox. DePauw's Julie Brayton gave the Tigers the lead with 13:42 remaining in regulation before Hull tied the score with 12:00 left. Claire Cheney scored the game-winner with 7:30 left in the second overtime. Oberlin outshot the Tigers 15-10 and held a 13-12 advantage in corners. Kaitlin Thomure had nine saves for the Tigers while Lauren Malinowski had eight for Oberlin. DePauw travels to Wooster for a Sunday game. Back

Besides trying to corner the market on players named Williams, the move benefits Utah in several ways. But what is most surprising about the trade is how quickly the front office moved to try and improve the team.
Both trades received praise and criticism from the media. Before knowing the fate of Harris, the Mo Williams trade seemed odd because it added a fourth point guard to the roster.
When the Harris trade came to light, though, the Jazz did not lose any salary because we used the trade exception we gained from trading Mehmet Okur during the 2011 offseason. The lack of financial flexibility would make signing an impact-free agent difficult. Add to that the fac that Williams has already played nine seasons in the NBA, and we are getting a player who may start to decline soon.
The trade for Marvin Williams brought in an impact player but sent off Harris, who was starting to become comfortable with the Jazz system. Williams has not met the expectations of a second overall pick, plus he has a player option for the following season. This player option takes away money when the Jazz will have several top players on the market as unrestricted free agents.
I see both trades as positives for the still-growing Jazz. Both players improve on the team's horrible outside shooting record, for example. Mo is a career 38.7 percent three point shooter while Marvin has shot 32.9 percent over his career. Both players excel off the ball as spot-up shooters. While both are athletic enough to take their man off the dribble, they can hit a spot-up jump shot consistently. For the Jazz, which needs shooters to unclog the lane for post players, this is more beneficial than Harris's ability to drive the ball. Mo is a more traditional point guard than Harris is and will better distribute the ball to the proper option. Adding Marvin also allows Gordon Hayward to move to the shooting guard position, where he played better in his first couple of seasons.
This biggest addition to the team, however, will be the veteran toughness the two new players will add to the Jazz. With several key players still developing, adding some toughness will help the team.
The big question now for Utah is where, exactly, does it go the rest of the offseason. After already making big moves this season, does the team stand pat the rest of the summer and prepare for the cap space next summer, or does it continue to move pieces of the roster to change a core that was swept during the first round of the playoffs last season?

text: Home Culture Culture of Shaming Women Must End From Rihanna's love life to a TV anchor's weight, women are scrutinized for their so-called flaws. By: Nsenga K. Burton, Ph.D. Posted: Oct. 9 2012 12:31 AM 0 Kevin Mazur/WireImage/Getty Images; Jezebel; YouTube (The Root) -- The "flaws" of women are often used as fodder for jokes, gossip and plain old bullying and mean-spiritedness. Many people -- including women -- are socialized to embarrass, humiliate and highlight the perceived flaws of women on a regular basis. That highlighting can happen under the guise of entertainment (insert almost any reality show featuring women), news or gossip (see your local church or temple or Kristen Stewart). Women are often shamed for things they can control (affairs with married partners or poor decision-making) and sometimes for things that are beyond their control (health issues, religious or spiritual practices and mental illness). It is the latter that most interests me -- the idea that there are no boundaries when it comes to publicly shaming women, despite what issues they may be facing. With the pervasiveness of the Web, this public shaming has moved beyond neighborhoods and institutions -- the real world, if you will -- and has landed squarely at our fingertips by way of laptops, cellphones and tablet devices, taking the public shaming of women to a different level. Not surprisingly, a lot of the shaming of women has to do with physical appearance, since this is the way that women are often measured in society and, quite honestly, it is the way that many of us measure our self-worth. Despite what might be going on underneath (physical- or mental-health issues, religious beliefs or ideologies that choose not to privilege physical appearance over other aspects of the body), we cling to the culture of shaming women around what they look like, as opposed to who they are as whole people. One doesn't have to look far to find examples. Take, for instance, the news story about a Web user with the e-handle "European_Douchebag," who posted a photo on Reddit of a Sikh woman with a visible beard standing in line, minding her own business at a restaurant. The caption read: "I'm not sure what to conclude from this." What we can conclude is that the user, who posted the Sikh woman's photo without her permission, wanted to embarrass or shame her for having "excessive facial hair," according to dominant beauty standards. Cultural critic-comedian W. Kamau Bell has done a fantastic job of showing us how little Americans know about the Sikh community, so it is no surprise that the user obviously did not know that Sikhs do not alter their physical appearance, because of their belief in the sacredness of the body. The user, who eventually apologized after the Sikh woman in the photo learned of the incident and responded with an eloquent and informative post, admitted that the initial intent was to embarrass and degrade this woman under the guise of humor. I immediately thought to myself, why would a presumably grown person have the intent to cause pain to or ridicule another person under any circumstances? The short answer is that the user is, in fact, a "douchebag" -- his or her words, not mine -- or is caught up in this culture of shaming, which is an extension of bullying women because there is an audience for it. Another recent example of shaming women comes from La Cross, Wis., where TV anchorwoman Jennifer Livingston responded to an email from a viewer, who admitted that he didn't watch her newscast but felt the need to comment on her weight anyway. The viewer had stated in the email that Livingston was not "a suitable example for this community's young people" because she is overweight. Livingston, the mother of three girls, responded with an on-air editorial about bullying and why her weight should be of no concern to the viewer or anyone else, for that matter. In this instance, again, someone who knows nothing about this woman felt the need to shame her for being overweight, as if she didn't know it (which is the irony when someone tells you you're fat, as stated by Livingston). And anyway, how does that help the person who is struggling with her weight? The viewer's goal was not to help but to harm -- to shame Livingston into doing something about her weight, which in his mind outweighs (tongue planted firmly in cheek) anything else she might have to offer. Beyond the fact that men, who can't give birth, should never be allowed to criticize a woman who has had children -- particularly with all the changes that women's bodies experience through that process -- is the fact that this man thought it was his right to shame a woman who is paid to inform the public about local news, not to entertain this man's idea of beauty or health. The viewer, who stands by his comments, doesn't know if her weight is due to illness, life demands, an eating disorder or laziness. What he did assume from the outset is that shaming this woman over her weight would be acceptable, and it isn't. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Well ALMOST!
Jake Owen almost exposed himself after his pants split on stage.
Jake was forced to use his shirt to cover-up at a gig on Friday when his pants ripped at the seams.
The singer was climbing around onstage during his concert in Charleston, South Carolina when his jeans split-- and he wasn't wearing underwear.
Jake stripped off his white t-shirt and tied it around his waist so he wouldn't give audience members an X-rated show. He later took to Twitter.com to joke about the incident.
He wrote, "Charleston, SC will never be forgotten. My jeans ripped on stage tonight. Going commando=bad idea. Although, great breeze here. Coastal town... Tonight was totally 'nuts' in Charleston. I really gave it my all tonight and let it all hang out."

Phoenix reports that although this below-the-radar group may not be using credit cards to make purchases, many are turning to pre-paid cards instead, fueling an opportunity for financial services firms and retailers.
According to Phoenix, 90 % of households with incomes above $35,000 hold a credit card, but the percentage drops to less than 47% for lower-income households. Lower-income consumers are 45% more likely than their higher income counterparts to purchase pre-paid cards and somewhat more likely to buy pre-paid cards for use at specific retailers. Furthermore, the strong appetite of this segment for using payment cards is evident in their above-average use of prepaid cards, which doesn't require that users meet pre-established credit requirements.

"This activity only provides a glimpse of the growing and largely unmet financial needs of this customer segment, and its market potential for banks and financial services providers," said Leon Majors, president of Phoenix ESP Payments Research Group. "Both new and established providers are scrambling to understand the right mix of products for this market segment."
Success in this market segment requires not only a deep understanding of its financial needs but also of its cultural concerns. The percentage of low-income households that are "very concerned" about payment security is roughly double that of higher income households regarding credit card use, telephone bill payments, and online purchasing.
"The heightened level of security concerns in this segment partly explains their lower current and planned use of electronic payments. New products designed for this segment must mitigate these fears," said Ken Kerr, Vice President at Phoenix ESP and the director of the study.

Hans J. Salter
Hans J. Salter
Hans J. Salter (1896-1996) was never as well known as Max Steiner, Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, or Miklos Rozsa, but he was a composer or orchestrator on more than 150 movies in a 30-year career. Viennese born and a graduate of that city's Academy of Music, he was music director of Vienna's Volksoper and later with the Berlin State Opera, before joining Germany's UFA studios in 1929. He left Germany after Hitler came to power, and in 1937 he arrived in Hollywood, where he made his career at Universal Pictures. One reason that Salter never achieved much recognition was that he arrived at Universal just when the studio's fortunes were on the wane, following its near bankruptcy. It was also common practice at Universal for music already in its library to be re-used and "tracked" into other composers' work; Salter and composers such as Frank Skinner and, later, Henry Mancini found their work mixed together, even if only one person got credit. Salter himself reused parts of Skinner's Son of Frankenstein score in his Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman (1943), and those same parts turned up in various Sherlock Holmes films. It was even more confusing during the 1950's when music department head Joseph Gershenson, an executive but not a composer, signed his name to scores featuring music by Salter, Mancini, Skinner et al. Salter retired in the mid-1960's, and spent the last 30 years of his life in obscurity, although in his final years he did assist in the making of new recordings of some of his 1940's horror movie scores. As with all but the top rank of composers, some of Salter's work was distinguished, while much of it was simply serviceable, and pointless to divorce from the movies for which it was written. Almost all include some memorable passages, however, and many of his best scores are familiar simply because of their associations with popular films of their era. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

After several years of development and many months of hype and anticipation, Windows 8 and Windows RT, the next generation of Microsoft's flagship operating system software, go on sale Friday.
In a splashy press event in New York, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and other Microsoft executives formally launched the new software, as well as announcing the availability of Surface for RT, Microsoft's first branded computer product.
"Windows 8. Yeah, I'm excited," an ebullient Ballmer said taking the stage. "Windows 8, Windows RT with Office 2013, and Surface are here."
[Related: Microsoft Partners Gearing Up For Windows 8 Opportunities]
On stage at the event, held in the cavernous Pier 57 on Manhattan's West Side, Ballmer was surrounded by some 20 laptop and tablet computers running Windows 8 and Windows RT.
"In creating Windows 8, we shunned the incremental," said Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live Division, in a speech preceding Ballmer. Sinofsky, who had ultimate responsibility for the Windows 8 development, described the new software as a quantum leap in personal computing.
"We boldly re-imagined Windows," he added, using a phrase common among Microsoft executives ever since the company began publicly discussing Windows 8 at its Microsoft Build conference one year ago. "Today is an amazing day in the evolution of PCs."
Windows is already installed on some 1.1 billion PCs worldwide, and Sinofsky said that with Windows 8 Microsoft is "looking forward to the next billion." There are already 16 million installations of pre-release versions of Windows 8 and Windows RT, Sinofsky said, and the products have undergone 1.24 billion hours of pre-release testing.
Sinofsky touted the software's compatibility with Windows 7 hardware and software, its smaller memory footprint, faster boot time and improved battery management capabilities. More than 1,000 hardware devices are certified to run Windows 8, some priced less than $300, he said.
"Windows 8 has a ton of new features," said Carl Mazzanti, CEO of eMazzanti Technologies, a Microsoft partner based in Hoboken, N.J. "We have this backlog of orders [for Windows 8] with our customers that have been sitting there waiting for the first week in November."
While Windows 8 will spur upgrade work for some partners, many solution providers see a big opportunity to sell Windows-based tablets to businesses.
Windows 7 debuted three years ago, and Microsoft has sold 670 million Windows 7 licenses. Microsoft executives, both at the Thursday event and in earlier interviews, have emphasized how Windows 7 and 8 can co-exist, given their compatibility, rather than pitching the new OS as a Windows 7 replacement.
"You can run Windows 7 and Windows 8 side by side. The first priority is to [get customers to] migrate off of Windows XP," said Erwin Visser, senior director of the Windows Business Group, in an interview Wednesday. The decade-old Windows XP accounts for 45 percent of all Windows implementations, and support for the product ends in April 2014.

Anna, unfortunately, tagging and titling is just a necessary, time-consuming bit of housekeeping that needs to be done. I don't bother with tags, just make sure the name of the element is appropriate so I can search in Bridge or the Finder for that word in the file name. For example, for ADSR we had to use a chipmunk, so I was relying on having either a designer's appropriate name for the file, or my own housekeeping having given that name. I found only one in my stash, which is huge, so I was glad for not having to extract one.
Many designers are really nice to have appropriately named their files (or tagged them) so we can search and find. Many others only give the file names something like "element 1...2...3..." etc. A major hassle to have to rename all the elements in a kit, but if you do it when you unzip and put the kit away, you will always be able to find what you want.
I use generic names like flower, leaf, tree, ribbon, bow, etc. then do the search in Bridge when you're in a folder and you will search all files in that folder and subfolders. So, I can find all the flowers in all the kits (that I have) by all the designers at GDS, by having the GDS main folder open when I do the search. That's for my system, as I sort first by store, then by designer, then in folders for each kit, with separate folders for papers and elements. Other people use other systems.
It's great you're getting to learn how to do things that suit your organization system right off the bat. It will certainly help you learn your new computer's way of doing things!

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Metro-North train service will increase to about half its normal levels Monday on the New Haven Line, and riders in Fairfield County should brace for continuing delays all this week, Gov. Dannel Malloy said.
"All indications right now point to another tough commute," Malloy said in a statement Sunday. "Even with some electric service restored, there will be very limited service and significant overcrowding on trains."
Con Edison has been working since Wednesday to try to restore electricity to an 8-mile section of track in the area of Mount Vernon, N.Y., after the failure of a main feeder cable brought trains to a halt, Metro-North said in a statement.
Additional electrical power will be provided Monday by temporary substations installed by Con Ed as an interim solution. These substations do not operate at the full capacity of the Mount Vernon substation and are not sufficient for Metro-North to operate full New Haven Line service, the statement said.
"Con Edison's temporary substation allows us to run very limited electric trains through this critical section of the New Haven Line for the first time since power was disrupted last week, but it's still far less than the normal service our customers expect," said MTA Chairman Thomas F. Prendergast. "While Con Edison works to restore full power to their damaged feeder cable, the MTA is doing everything it can to accommodate New Haven Line customers on other services."
Due to these power constraints, Metro-North has developed a service plan that will allow a limited number of electric trains to travel between Harrison and Mount Vernon. Combined with the interim diesel service, this provides about 50 percent of normal train service on the New Haven Line. The schedule for Monday's train service can be found here on the Metro-North website.
Metro-North warned customers to be prepared for delays, crowded trains and complicated commutes.
"If at all possible, I would urge residents to consider working from home or shifting their time of travel to off-peak periods," Malloy said. "If you have to drive, considering carpooling. Our state Department of Transportation is continuing to do their best to ensure that travel on the roadways moves as efficiently as possible during this situation."
The governor has blasted the disruptions for commuters and called for refunds for regular riders. "Connecticut commuters should not even be in this situation," said Malloy. "For the last five days, I have been making it clear to Con Ed and the MTA that a delay like the one they initially proposed was completely unacceptable. While I'm glad they moved their deadline up at my urging, I want to re-emphasize that they need to alleviate this problem as quickly as possible."
A permanent fix to the failed Con Edison feeder cable is still required to restore full power to this crucial 8-mile segment of the New Haven Line. Con Edison and the New York Power Authority are working around the clock to make those repairs.
Four free park-and-ride lots have also been established for access to Harlem Line trains, which will have added cars to handle the crowds. A pdf of a map from Metro-North can be found here. A total of 8,.600 additional parking space will be available in the following locations in New York State:
- The garage at 8 E. 153rd St. near Yankee Stadium will have 1,500 parking space and allow walking access to Yankees-East 153rd Street Station on the Hudson Line Service.
- Orchard Beach at Pelham Bridge Road/Shore Road and Orchard Beach Road will offer 5,000 parking spaces and a free shuttle to Pelham Bay Park's #6 subway.
- Rye Playland will offer 1,500 parking spots and a bus to the White Plains Station on the Harlem Line.
- Kensico Dam at Park Drive West in Valhalla will offer 600 parking places and a bus to the North White Plains Station for Harlem Line Service.
Officials will be available at each of the park and ride locations to provide additional information and assistance.
Customers can also go directly to stations served by the Harlem and Hudson Lines. Extra cars have been added to select Harlem Line trains, but there will still be very crowded conditions.
A full repair is not expected for another week, officials said.
"This service plan will remain in effect until Con Edison is able to provide full power through the Mount Vernon feeder to the New Haven Line," Permut said. "They now expect to complete their repairs by Oct. 7, with the goal of giving Metro-North time to complete required testing and restore full train service by Oct. 8. Until then, we thank our customers for their patience and flexibility during this disruption."

Road to Pandora now goes through Amazon
Pandora is a great music-discovery service, so it's only natural that independent bands would hope to get their music placed on it. Unfortunately for them, Pandora just made that a little harder--and a little more expensive.
As I first saw on the Digital Audio Insider blog a couple weeks ago, Pandora recently changed its music submission process, and is now accepting solicitations only from bands who have a physical CD for sale through Amazon.com. That requires the artist to manufacture a CD with proper album art and bar code, which is much more expensive than creating a bunch … Read more

Sorry if this has already been covered, I did not see any topics regarding this issue on the first couple pages (unless their topic did not accurately reflect my question, in which case OOPS).
MediaMonkey seems to sort items in my playlists and on my ipod touch by date added and I don't know how to make it sort automatically by song title. It's aggravating to search through my playlists which can be hundreds of items in length to find a song. Is there a way that I can force MM to sort by something other than date added by default?
Thanks in advance for any help I may receive here!

Sarasota County students in all grades tested increased their scores on the spring FCAT exam this year.
The results were released Thursday and show students in the three grades tested — fourth, eighth and 10th — all improved their writing scores.
Additionally, fourth-graders achieving a 3.5 or higher on the essay portion of the exam rose to 91% this year from 85% in 2008. Eighth-graders went from a score of 90% last year to 92% this year, and 10th-graders' scores were steady at 75%.
A 3.5 score is considered to be on grade level.
The number of students scoring 4.0 or higher increased from 75% to 84% for fourth-graders. For eighth-graders, the percentage of students achieving at least a 4.0 score went from 81% last year to 84% this year. However, tenth-graders' scores declined slightly, going from 59% last year to 58% this year.
The fourth- and eighth-grade scores all beat the state average. Tenth-grade scores are two-to-three percentage points below the state average.

I got this for my 4 year old after seeing it online and was so impressed at how sophisticated it is. This toy will actually teach your kid how to play piano and read music notation. My sons favorite game is the shooting gallery where notes fly across the page and he must hit the right one to score a point. The app communcates with the keyboard and as a note appears on the screen, the same note lights up on the keyboard. There is also a game that teaches how to hear specific notes! For all this product does, the price is an amazing value.

It seems relatively simple to assembly, yet the toy does not interact with the iPad. We downloaded the app very easily, but nothing happens. My son can play with the app on his iPad, or he can play the keyboard on the toy....big deal- how many of those have we had??? I know the toy is not working because the keys are supposed to light when struck- they don't. None of the other function buttons work either. Unless there is something I missed when I assembled the toy- but I've been over and over the directions- this toys just simply isn't working. I think it would be wonderful learning toy if I it only worked :( If someone else has had this problem and knows of a quick fix, I'd sure like to know about it.

Bought 3 of these on sale. 1 didn't work straight out of the box. Other 2 worked great. Not sure what problem was but exchanged it and new 1 worked perfectly. Good learning toy for intro to piano. 1 game has the staff lines as very curvy which makes it challenging to read the exact notes but overall fun toy for children.
Doesn't work.

We got this for our 3 & 8 yr old. Terribly disappointed, took forever to find the app and really thought it was age appropriate more for the 8 yr old. After she opened it the 3 yr old is more interested and then noticed online the age guidelines:( Will be returning since I don't need yet another toy of this nature.

Obamanomics: Unemployment 7.9%
Even though the rate ticked up, 157,000 jobs were added. BUT 169,000 people gave up looking for work and left the job force. In the president's first term the total number of people who left the workforce is 8.5 million. But, fortunately for Obama, those people are not counted in the unemployment figure…if they were the unemployment rate would be 14.4%. STORY
Senator Ted Cruz thumps Chuck Hagel
Chuck Hagel had a rough time during his confirmation hearing to be the next Secretary of Defense. Leading the charge yesterday was Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Cruz chipped away at Hagel and his flawed vision of the world, in which America is the "biggest bully" on the planet. Glenn interviewed Senator Cruz on radio today.

Glenn paid tribute to another fantastic season with a "Best of More-On Trivia" highlight reel this morning before the BIG game — More-On Triva, Super Bowl Edition.

Another bad progressive idea: Women in combat
Last night on TheBlaze TV, Glenn conducted a riveting conversation on the latest progressive idea — lifting the ban on women in combat. On the outside this seems like a feel-good story, but like any leftist idea, it's riddled with problems. Check out the conversation HERE.
Armed guard stops middle school shooter, media silent
Glenn recounted a recent story from his own life where guns were banned from a local event he attended. There was a large "no guns" sign, making the site more of a target than a safe zone, in Glenn's opinion. Are schools and other events safer with these signs or with armed citizens and guards? Just ask the students of an Atlanta middle school who are now safe because of an armed, off-duty resource officer who disarmed a shooter on their campus yesterday. MORE

I'm trying to create a database for contacts. I must have many categories for every contact, like Home, Office, Emails, Phones. In every category one can add more than one value. Also the categories can be dynamic. How can this be designed in a database?
Take the tour
Database Administrators Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for database professionals who wish to improve their database skills and learn from others in the community. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Check out relational database design. It's an art and a science, and something that really can't be explained to the fullest in a post. But what you should do is create relationships between contacts and all possible data that will be related to it. This is most prevalent through the use of primary and foreign key relationships. | |||
Have a look at "free data models" on databaseanswers.org. For example, "Contact Management" Your question is too broad: you can hire me to do it of course :-) | |||
Sounds like a pretty traditional relational database design.

You should look at Universal Data Models for Party Contact Mechanism, which allows you to store as many contacts and category of contacts that you want. | |||

Former President George B cancels appearance after Assange invite
by alaaron | February 26, 2011 at 03:32 am
78 views | 0 Recommendations | 0 comments
Former President George W. Bush doesn't want to be on the same program with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and cancelled an appearance to make sure that happened.
Bush accepted an invite to deliver the keynote at the Young President's Organization's annual Global Youth Leadership Summit Saturday in Denver, but cancelled the appearance after learning that Julian Assange was also invited to address the summit.
In a statement, Bush's spokesman, David Sherzer, said "Six months ago, President Bush accepted an invitation to speak to the YPO Global Leadership Summit in Denver on February 26, 2011. This week, upon learning that Julian Assange had recently been invited to address the same summit, President Bush decided to cancel his appearance."

Make yogurt with our Viili yogurt starter. Viili contains live active bacteria and cultures at room temperature (70° to 78°F). Culture viili yogurt right on the counter: no yogurt maker required! One packet of viili can be used to make unlimited amounts of homemade yogurt as it can be serial cultured by reserving a small amount from the current batch to inoculate the next batch. With care, this viili yogurt culture can be used to make homemade yogurt indefinitely. No more having to continually buy yogurt starter: save money making yogurt at home!
- Mild taste
- Moderately thick yogurt
- Cultures at 70° to 78°F; no yogurt maker required
- Reusable culture; with care a little from each batch can be used to make the next batch
- Click here to compare our different yogurt varieties
Viili Yogurt Starter: Originating in Finland, viili is a thicker yogurt that thrives on cream. It is also known as viila and is similar to other yogurts such as pitkapiimä, viilipiimä, langil, taette, tatmjölk, langmjölk and skyr. Perfect for use in parfaits or in place of sour cream in recipes. Of all our room-temperature (mesophilic) yogurt cultures, viili has the thickest consistency (viscous, almost jelly-like) and the mildest taste, making it our most popular yogurt culture particularly among customers switching their family off commercial yogurt. Please note: this is a non-ropey variety of viili. Our viili yogurt does not have a ropey texture but rather a more gelatinous, jelly-like texture.
How to Make Viili Yogurt: As a mesophilic culture, this viili yogurt cultures at room temperature. To make a batch of homemade yogurt, the viili starter is simply added to milk, stirred, and then allowed to culture on the counter before being placed in the refrigerator. A small amount of the current batch of homemade yogurt is then used to make the next batch and so on.
Customers wishing to use raw milk to make homemade yogurt will need to take additional steps to ensure a pure starter is maintained. Additional instructions concerning the use of raw milk will accompany each order of viili.
Instructions for making viili yogurt can be found here and will be included with your order.
Using alternative milks to make viili: Viili starter may be used with alternative milks (soy, coconut, etc.) but is unlikely to reculture beyond the first few generations. Therefore we strongly recommend keeping a backup dairy-based culture on hand when using alternative milks. Viili yogurt can be made with goat milk although the resulting yogurt may be significantly less thick than yogurt made with whole cow milk. We do not recommend using UHT (aka ultra-pasteurized) milk when working with any yogurt culture as the lack of living bacteria in UHT milk makes it difficult for the yogurt cultures to perpetuate properly.
Ingredients: Organic milk, lactic bacteria (Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, L. lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris).
Produced or packaged in a facility that also manufactures products made with wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, and fish.
Due to recent changes in manufacturing processes, the weight of the item that appears in the photo will differ from the actual weight of the item received.
Viili Shipping Information: Viili yogurt starter is shipped in a barrier-sealed packet as a freeze-dried yogurt culture in a dairy carrier. Please keep it in a cool dry place until you are ready to make your first batch of homemade yogurt. We ship enough yogurt culture to make two batches of yogurt to use as a mother culture for making larger batches of homemade yogurt. We recommend that you reserve the second packet in the fridge or freezer to use as a backup.
Questions on Viili Yogurt Starter
- From Mia at 9/21/12 8:26 PM
- Can I use my Viili yogurt starter to make coconut milk yogurt?
- You can! Take a look at this article here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe. Keep in mind you'll have to keep a back up dairy culture on hand.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Lori at 10/24/12 11:36 PM
- I currently have a kefir culture going strong. I'd like to try the Viili Yogurt but am concerned with keeping the cultures "pure".
- Keeping your culturing foods / beverages at least 2 feet apart (preferably 4 or more) will minimize cross contamination risks..
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Abby at 11/4/12 9:40 AM
- If the culture dies at higher temperatures, do you get any benefit from the good bacteria? Wouldn't they die at body temperature?
- The temperatures recommended for the yogurt are so that the bacteria can continue to grow and reproduce. They are still alive at the higher temperatures, however. There will still be good bacteria put into your system if you eat it, but the bacteria won't reproduce in your body.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Victoria at 1/25/13 7:37 AM
- I want to begin making coconut milk yogurt, either on my countertop or with my crockpot (I already have a recipe for this) - I make my own coconut milk from dried unsweetened coconut flakes, so my milk is not as thick as canned, and I think it would be considered raw, as I do not heat the coconut. I add it to boiling hot water, that has been removed from the heat, then it is allowed to sit 4-12 hours. I then warn it up just enough to soften the oil before processing and straining it.
Which starter would you recommend? I would like to use an heirloom starter so that I can continue making perpetual batches of about 1/2 gallon each batch. Thanks! - The heirloom starters have to be maintained in dairy, they can not be re-cultured in coconut milk. You could maintain a mother culture (made in dairy) and use it to inoculate your coconut milk. You could use a direct set starter, limited use and no culture to maintain. You could also use Milk Kefir grains to make coconut milk kefir. The grains would still have to refresh in dairy occasionally but they make a delicious cultured coconut kefir!
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- I want to begin making coconut milk yogurt, either on my countertop or with my crockpot (I already have a recipe for this) - I make my own coconut milk from dried unsweetened coconut flakes, so my milk is not as thick as canned, and I think it would be considered raw, as I do not heat the coconut. I add it to boiling hot water, that has been removed from the heat, then it is allowed to sit 4-12 hours. I then warn it up just enough to soften the oil before processing and straining it.
- From Amanda at 2/18/13 1:03 AM
- I am wondering if this starter will work well to culture whole-fat coconut milk? Not coconut water, and not light (watered down) coconut milk.
What about homemade almond milk?
Thanks! - "Alternative milks" usually require a thickening agent to achieve a good texture and consistency. You'll find information about thickeners here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/thickening-flavoring-homemade-yogurt The alternative milks and thickeners will interfere with the ability to reuse the culture so you will want to keep a separate "mother culture" made with dairy. You will find information about keeping a mother culture here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/raw-milk-yogurt-video
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- I am wondering if this starter will work well to culture whole-fat coconut milk? Not coconut water, and not light (watered down) coconut milk.
- From Candice at 3/1/13 8:46 PM
- Can you make coconut milk yogurt with this starter?
- No, coconut milk cannot be used directly with the Viili starter. However, if you are making Viili yogurt using cow or goat milk, you can use some of the finished dairy yogurt as starter for making coconut milk yogurt.
http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Meghan at 3/12/13 10:53 PM
- Can cultures be mixed? The texture of the villi sounds appealing to me, but the stronger/sour taste of the matsoni is also appealing. What would happen if I mixed the two cultures to make a hybrid yogurt? I would be using pastuerized grassfed heavy cream (cow). Thanks!
- Yogurt cultures are a carefully balanced combination of bacteria that will produce a particular kind of yogurt. If you mix different cultures or bacteria together, the bacteria may compete and weaken or die.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Stevie at 3/27/13 3:24 PM
- From Christina at 3/31/13 8:57 PM
- I have read that Viili yogurt also contains Geotrichum candidum,but it is not listed here as being part of the culture you sell. Does your culture include geotrichum and if no,is there a specific reason why it doesn't? ..... I have really enjoyed this starter and it makes excellent yogurt.
- Our viili does not contain this bacteria strain. There are other viilis that do. It creates a mold layer on the top of the yogurt, like the similar to mold that is on certain cheeses, which is also created by Geotrichum candidum.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Cat at 4/29/13 10:30 PM
- Can you use heavy cream (40% milk fat) as your dairy? It's lower in lactose than whole milk, would I need to maintain a mother culture with whole milk as well?
- Heavy cream can be cultured using Viili Yogurt as the starter culture, but you are correct that you would need to maintain a mother culture for re-culturing. The mother culture may be made using whole or low-fat milk.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- Drinkable Yumminess Review by Heather C
Quality Price Value
This yogurt has never been very thick for me--it's more drinkable than spoonable. But, boy is it tasty! I don't use any sweetener or flavoring because it's not too tangy and is sweet all on its own (maybe due to the raw milk?).
Note from Customer Support: For advice on thickening yogurt, please refer to the following article: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/thickening-flavoring-homemade-yogurt (Posted on August 31, 2013)
- Love my Viili! Review by Stephanie
Value Quality Price
The yogurt is creamy, delicious and so easy to make. Every few days I make a new batch and every other batch I strain so I have a thicker yogurt to use in cooking.
As a result, I have a lot of whey on my hands so I feed some to my dog and am giving sauerkraut a try, right now it is fermenting happily a(whey) :) and hoping for good results!

On the other hand, Villi is perfect! Just tart enough, but quite tasty plain. I make 3 cups at a time and find that it is best when cultured for 12 hours. Then I strain it to get the thick custardy texture I prefer. LOVE this stuff!
