Some news and notes as Charlotte prepares to open football practice Thursday:
-- The 49ers have signed tight end Dmarjai Devine, a transfer from Tyler (Texas) Junior College. Devine (6-3, 210), who is from Longview, Texas, caught six passes for 91 yards last season for the Apaches.
-- And some roster attrition: Wide receiver Jamel Ross is out for the season with a knee injury. Running back Chris Duffy won't be with the 49ers this season, heading to junior college instead. Also, defensive back Nolan Corpening and defensive end Jamar Winston will not be enrolled in school this fall. Linebacker Rick LeGrant is academically ineligible.
-- Charlotte picked up two verbal commitments this week in Independence receiver Workpeh Kofa and Cartersville (Ga.) quarterback Brooks Barden, bringing their Class of '14 total to nine:
Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux, 6-8, 290, OL, Charlotte Christian.
Emmanuel Moseley, 6-0, 165, DB, Greensboro Dudley. Also had offers from East Carolina, N.C. A&T.
Najee Tucker, 6-2, 200, S, West Rowan, rated 2 stars by Rivals.com. Also had an offer from Ball State.
Tristan Butcher, 6-2, 220, LB, Coweton, Okla., rated 2 stars by Rivals.com. Also had offers from Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette. Shows 49ers are stretching their recruiting scope with move to Conference USA.
Nathaniel Davis, 6-3, 290, OL, Ashburn (Va.) Stone Bridge. Also had offers from Toledo, Old Dominion.
R.J. Tyler, 6-4, 230, TE, Wagener-Salley (S.C.). Also had offers from Appalachian State, Wofford, Western Carolina.
Chris Brown, 6-4, 280, OL, Vance.
Workpeh Kofa, 6-1, 185, WR, Independence: Also had offers from Appalachian State, Toledo, Louisville.
Brooks Barden, 6-3, 200, QB, Cartersville, Ga.: Also had offers from Arkansas State, UMass.
The 49ers also have a commitment from defensive back Jawuan Johnson of New Boston, Texas. Hearing that Charlotte hasn't accepted the commitment yet, however, so we'll keep an eye on that.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
Started last week .
Hopefully got the right hoop this time.
In a span of 4 days , practising for abt half hour every day – have only kept the hoop up to a count of 8 so far :( 23 months ago
Starting July 11? Come join us!!

I hooped for an hour. ;)
I figured that as long as I was just going to watch some football (and Extremem Couponing) I may as well burn extra calories. According to my HRM, I burned 385 calories hooping. :-D 3 years ago
How I did it: I watched several YouTube videos to learn what to do. My third hoop was the charm. After trying (and failing) to hoop with hula hoops that were too small, I finally got an appropriate, adult-sized hula hoop! (K-Mart special!) THe size is important:the smaller the hoop, the faster it spins and the harder it is to keep the hoop up.
I got a hula hoop as part 1 of a belated birthday present. And being too embarassed to try it out right when I got it, I went home and attempted hula hooping in front of Brad (while he was 'watching' love in the wild).
Let's just say… I stink! ha ha! But I don't even mind. I'll get better. Brad and I were laughing our butts off taking turns (part of the reason I can't say here!!). He even found me some instructional YouTube videos.
My eventual hope (other than the fact that hula hoops are FUN) is to get crazy hula hooper abs!! Man, if I could learn to hoop in both directions… and then I could just hoop for minutes upon minutes! What a great ab work out. 3 years ago
First of all, I have to find Hula Hoop for adult. The one for children is too light. This is an advice by my friend. 3 years ago

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion Reviews

FAVORITE by far! Inexpensive!!I love this body lotion! For starters, it smells nice! This body lotion is very reasonably priced also! It is a thick and creamy lotion that moisturizers very well.

This product would really benefit someone who suffer...read mores from dry/itchy skin in my opinion! Great to have for cold winter months as well! I am a natural redhead with pale skin that is sensitive to some lotions/creams, but this body lotion does not make my skin break out anywhere and it does not irritate my legs after I shave. If you have not given Palmer's brand a try, I highly suggest you try them out! The bottle is lightweight, easy to store, and the pump is easy to use (if you have the pump bottle). I am more than pleased with this body lotion, and I am very glad I tried it finally! — 1 year, 9 months agoPrincessBear3 | 42 reviews

My All-time FAVE lotion!I've probably used this for a decade or longer. I try other lotions, but keep coming back to this one. I find it to be the perfect texture, rich and creamy without being to thick, and definitely not too watery. It smooths over my body and absorbs well into the skin, though it does take a few minutes, but not longer.

good for dry skinAfter my teen years i noticed that my skin became really dry and itchy during the cold seasons. It was weird because I did not have dry skin before.

I decide to use Palmers because i had seen the commercials before and it ...read morewas suppose to be good for my skin soft and preventing stretch marks... oh good kill two birds with one stone. Well the Palmers does feel rich and creamy and it did help relieve my itchy dry skin after a the first applications. after a week or so, my skin was back to normal. the only issue with this product is the smell. I do not like the smell of cocoa butter. I guess for me the smell is noticeable. But for people use to the smell it's not going to be an issue. I mean it does not smell bad. But it is not a smell I want to walk around with. For those worried about stretch marks... it is a smart idea to start using palmers or other rich lotions before you get stretch marks. it is a lot harder to get them to fade. Here's a last tip, make sure you let the lotion dry before you put on clothes, or it will end up feeling like the clothes are clinging to you... this may take up to 15 minutes. so do not over use, a little goes a long way and rub it in. — 2 years, 9 months agoMinibear | 22 reviews

This time around, I've been wearing maternity shirts and letting people think my fat belly is a baby bump. I try not to wear non-maternityh shirts because then I just look fat.
I know I didn't answer your question....it realy is different for every person, whether they are heavy or thin!
Baby Bouchard:Awwwww! I love your bump! I can't wait to look pregnant and not just "feel" pregnant...;o)
Thank you! Sometimes I feel down on myself when I see all these cute little waisted bumps on here...and sometimes I feel like I just look fat (fatter?)...but then sometimes, I love my bump even if it's bigger than most this far along because of some fat on top of my bump. Don't worry - soon you'll have a cute bump and you'll take lots of pride in it!
I can't remember when it was with DS, but ditto what the other woman said about wearing maternity shirts (so your belly looks more pregnant than fat). I think I was about half way through 2nd tri when I really noticed a bump for my first pregnancy.
This time around, I swear I was huge by 12 weeks! And although most of it was bloat, I didn't care. I wore maternity shirts as soon as I could. :0)
im a 20 and i say i started noticing a bump last week. im 18 weeks. however to people who don't know me i probably look more fat vs prego.
i feel you though i been feeling the exact same way...
another downer... bein plus we'll feel baby move much later than smaller women.
but oh well im still sexy!
I'm around a size 12/14. I felt like I had an "obvious" bump at 19 weeks. Here's a picture from my last bump day picture (we do them every 5 weeks). However, I still get people that don't realize and I guess just think I'm fat. But I think its becoming more unmistakable.
Sorry you have to scroll over...I just don't have the energy to fix it.
My little momma dog Pixie (we found her pregnant last October) wanted to be in the picture too!
T1 diabetes diagnosed 11/95 due to severe pancreatic injury
BFP 1 1/22/10 EDD 9/30/10 Adria b. 9/11/10 d.8/9/11, Transposition of the Great Arteries,
Pleural effusion, Kidney Failure
BFP 3 10/3/12 EDD 6/17/13 Twins! Preston and Juliet b. 5/22/13
This is such a bittersweet thing to read lol. I'm a 22/24, gained about twenty pounds last time I was pregnant that never went away, but I was really hoping to have my baby bump by four months. I always thought I was crazy for getting upset at all the skinny girls with their bumos, so glad I'm not the only one! I must say though, I can't help but rub my belly like every other pregnant girl does... People must think I have wicked stomach issues lol. Good luck to all of you with your bumps!
You bumped a four year old thread for this question? :-w Okay, then to answer your qustion....ElizaAnne said:
this might sound dumb, but how is a maternity top any different than a regular top so that it makes it clear if one is pregnant?
This!Ms.MKBT said:
I don't have a pic, but I am a 16/18 and you can tell I have a bump now- especially when I wear tight shirts. I think it's been in the last 3-4 weeks. It seems like all the weight I've gained is going to my belly because my regular jeans still fit.

'Doomsday Book' Trailer Sees the Director of 'I Saw the Devil' Take Part in the End of the WorldMovie News By Rob Hunter on February 29, 2012 | Comments (18)
There are very few great directors with a near perfect record of feature films because the more movies you make the greater the odds that you'll eventually make a stinker. Steven Spielberg has Always and Hook, David Fincher made The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Francis Ford Coppola shat out Jack. [Editor's note: The labeling of these films as "stinkers" is solely my opinion, and definitely not condoned by Webster's Dictionary or Mr. DeFrank.] But there's at least one fantastic director who has yet to release a disappointment…you just have to look outside Hollywood. South Korea's Kim Ji-woon has six feature films to his name so far, and all of them are pretty damn stellar across a wide range of genres. The Quiet Family, The Foul King, A Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life, The Good the Bad the Weird, and I Saw the Devil. He's currently filming his English-language debut (The Last Stand) with Arnold Schwarzenegger so this statement may not hold past next year, but for now the man is a golden god. His latest project, Doomsday Book, is an omnibus film that sees him contributing one of the two (or three?) segments alongside Lim Pil-seong (Hansel & Gretel) and possibly Han Jae-rim. The film is apocalypse themed with Kim's segment featuring a robot gaining sentience and Lim's focusing on a virus that leads to zombie hijinks. Check out the trailer below for Doomsday Book.
Foreign Objects: Sector 7 (South Korea)Features By Rob Hunter on January 27, 2012 | Comments (1)
If you took a random poll asking people to name the most mysterious place on Earth the answers you'd receive would be fairly widespread. Some would say The North Pole, others Madagascar, and Robert Fure would reply with a woman's g-spot. But surely someone, somewhere would answer correctly. And that correct answer lay beneath the surface of the Earth's oceans. Hollywood is well aware of this fact and has explored and exploited our fear of the unknown in films both great and small, from The Abyss to Sphere, with stops at all levels of quality in between. Two such movies released in 1989, Deepstar Six and Leviathan, bypassed subtlety and any real sense of mystery in favor of creature feature thrills, chills and at least a modicum of fun. Both are worth watching on late night cable, but Leviathan is the better of the two thanks in large part to the presence of Peter Weller. And now twenty two years later South Korea has jumped into the bloody pool with Sector 7, but unlike the films above its efforts to (intentionally) entertain come up dry.
Exclusive: Korea's Foreign Oscar Contender 'The Front Line' Blows Up in Poster FormMovie News By Scott Beggs on January 5, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
The trailer for The Front Line already hit hard, and now the production has released a poster to add another brick to their path toward Oscar. No South Korean film has ever made the short list for Best Foreign Film, and it's going to be an uphill fight for this war movie, but regardless of how it does with the award-givers, it still looks fantastic. The movie from director Jang Hun focuses on an embattled hill during a ceasefire that took place in the Korean War. It looks appropriately dramatic, and the new rain-soaked poster takes us down into the trenches. Check it out for yourself:
Fantastic Review: 'Invasion of Alien Bikini' Is 'Species' Minus the Action, Effects, Fun and Frequently Nude AlienFantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on October 5, 2011 | Comments (2)
It's not as if filmmakers are under any sort of obligation to ensure their film is titled responsibly and accurately. Octopussy, Snatch, In & Out… fine movies all, but they don't exactly live up to the salacious nature implied by their titles. And it's not always a matter of titles that sound far dirtier than they are either, as sometimes the title simply infers a different kind of film all together. Haunters for example is a recent Korean film that has absolutely nothing to do with ghosts, spirits, or the afterlife. Which brings us to Invasion of Alien Bikini. It's the story of a troubled young man who wanders the city each night as the City Protector, a false mustache-wearing do-gooder out to fight crime and injustice. The best he can normally manage though is to clean up litter. One night he rescues a young woman from three would-be attackers and brings her back to his abode… where she tries really hard to have sex with him. And he tries equally hard to resist. Up to that point the film is as entertaining (on a budget), slightly comical, and teasingly sexy as the title implies. And then it turns cruel, misogynistic, and uninteresting.
Fantastic Review: 'Blind' Is a Must-See ThrillerFantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on September 25, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Min Soo-ah (Kim Ha-neul) is a police cadet in training who takes it upon herself to look after her younger brother. Her latest attempt to bring him home from the b-boy club scene sees him handcuffed inside the car, but when she loses control of he wheel the resulting accident claims his life and leaves her blind. The decisions she made that night get her removed from the police force, but it's the guilt that weighs the heaviest. Three years later she's living with her Labrador guide dog named Wisey and still struggling with her impairment. Frustrated with her life, she takes a late night taxi ride that quickly becomes a hit and run. She reports it, but the police are unclear as to how a blind person can be a witness so they assign the case to a throwaway detective (Jo Hie-bong). Unfortunately for Soo-ah, while the police aren't taking what she witnessed very seriously the killer is. And he's looking to silence her for good.
34 Things We Learned From 'The Host' Commentary TrackCommentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on August 17, 2011 | Comments (1)
Headphones on. DVD player loaded. Blank page open. That's right, folks. It's another edition of Commentary Commentary, our weekly look at a film's commentary track and all the amazing anecdotes and discernment that come with it. This week we're going international for the first time here in Commentary Commentary. We're headed all the way to South Korea and all the way back to 2006. Not exactly sure which of those two settings are further away, but we have them right here on this pressed, metal disc. This week we're listening to Bong Joon-ho's commentary on his monster movie, The Host. Does he end up revealing in it how much he hates everything America stands for? Spoiler alert: he doesn't, but I'm sure this article isn't going to help matters. So take a look at what I learned. I suddenly have a craving for Kimchi and Soju.
Trailer For '71 Into the Fire' Just Might Blow Your Balls Into the Back Of Your SkullMovie News By Rob Hunter on March 22, 2011 | Comments (9)
Hollywood doesn't seem all that interested in the Korean War, at least not to the same degree that they show towards WWII and Vietnam. Sure there were several films made back in the 50s and 60s, but since then there's been MASH and… After MASH? South Korean cinema, on the contrary, is still exploring the subject in film on a regular basis. Their increased interest is understandable especially as they still sit on the brink of war with their northern neighbors. Tae Guk Gi and Welcome To Dongmakgol were both big budget hits in recent years, even if they approach the subject in wildly different ways, and now one more brilliant looking film can be added to the constantly growing list. 71 Into the Fire is based on the true story of 71 teenage students forced by fate to join the fray with little notice. They took up arms and stood guard over a middle school which sat on a strategic point of interest for both sides. Hundreds of elite North Korean soldiers advanced, and the students managed to hold them at bay for eleven hours. May not seem like a long time to someone sitting comfortably in from to their computer, but it was a lifetime for these teens and just long enough to allow time for South Korean reinforcements to arrive. But enough talk. Check out this beautifully bombastic trailer now.
Foreign Objects: Poetry (South Korea)Features By Landon Palmer on March 18, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Note: As Rob Hunter has been busy covering SXSW and watching Love Exposure on repeat, Landon Palmer is trying his best to fill his globe-trotting cinematic shoes. Rob will be back next week with another object from a foreign land. To make the observation that some really great films have been coming from South Korea in the last few years is to say nothing new. To say that there have been a lot of violent revenge movies from that country is also to say nothing new. But between Lee Chang-dong's wonderful Poetry and Bong Joon-ho's equally great Mother from last year, another revisited theme has emerged in South Korean exports: maternal figures that must care for and live with children who may or may not have committed a heinous crime to a young woman.
'Dawn on the Gulf of Aden' Born From Real Life Pirating Hostage SituationIn Development By Scott Beggs on February 8, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Last month, a group of South Korean commandos killed 8 Somali pirates and saved the lives of 21 hostages on board. Now that story will be a movie produced by Christmas Entertainment (The Host) called Dawn on the Gulf of Aden. There's no word on directing or acting talent, but the subject matter is certainly compelling enough. Plus, with plans to shoot later this year and see a release in 2012, it will more than probably beat the Sony-produced Somali pirate movie about the rescue of Richard Phillips (the captain, not the artist) and several hostages that took place in 2009 (which was being written by Billy Ray).
Park Chan-wook's Newest Film Shot Entirely On iPhoneMovie News By Scott Beggs on January 10, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
There's nothing not to love about Park Chan-wook. The man delivered Old Boy, two brilliant Sympathy For… films, and the strangest bloodsucker story this side of Shadow of the Vampire. Now, he's done what everyone else has only talked and joked around about. He stopped playing Angry Birds and started shooting a movie with his iPhone with his brother, Park Chan-kyong. Paranmanjang (which loosely translates to Life of Ups and Downs) is not feature length, but at 30 minutes, it's fairly substantial. It was made for around $133,000 (which is more than we were planning to invest in our phone-based film), and tells the story of a fisherman who catches a mysterious woman when she gets tangled in his net. Park had this to say about using the phone:
Fantastic Review: BedevilledFantastic Fest By Robert Fure on September 29, 2010 | Comments (1)
South Korean writer-director Jang Cheol-so made a big impression on the Fantastic Fest audience with his debut film Bedevilled, so much so that it was awarded Best Film by the attendees. It's a beautifully shot and well acted portrayal of a strangely dysfunctional matriarchal family on a South Korean island. Hard to pin down into a single genre, the film spends a big section of its run-time establishing the hell it is living in the rural village, population maybe 12.
Movie World Cup Round Two: The Good The Bad The Weird vs The Lives Of OthersFeatures By FSR Staff on June 17, 2010 | Be the First To Comment
The second match of Round Two finds a Korean favorite up against a German award winner. The Good The Bad The Weird earned its spot with its sweeping beauty and strange cast of characters, as well as the defeat of Brides in Round One. Meanwhile, The Lives of Others got here by delivering politics and strong characters, and by eking out a victory against the favored The Proposition It's a pairing that even the experts are having trouble predicting, so it's really anybody's ball game. Who will make it to Round Three?
Movie World Cup 2010: Korea vs GreeceFeatures By Scott Beggs on June 12, 2010 | Comments (1)
The third match of Round One finds the insane Western The Good The Bad The Weird going head to head with stirring drama Brides. Both films are set in the early 1900s, and both are critically acclaimed, but Korea has the edge here because of it's status with those who obsessively import Blu-rays and DVDs.

Much like they did with the Western last year (the epic and excellent The Good The Bad The Weird), South Korea has ventured into other traditionally American genres with great success. This includes copying the teen sex formula highlighting America's love of fornicating teenagers, physical comedy, and baby batter.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
But Wolok's December 31, 1991, victory was a Pyrrhic one. Despite convincing a court to drop the drunk-driving charges, he still lacks a driver's license. On December 19, an administrative hearing officer upheld Trooper Stuart's decision to suspend Wolok's license. Wolok has until January 19 to appeal the administrative review in district court. He vows to persevere.
"To me this incident is very embarrassing," Wolok says. "The only reason I'm willing to make it an issue is that I want the law to change. Do we want to make a law against drunk driving, or do we want to to make a law against people who can't always produce a urine sample? The consequences are not small, and the police should not be judge, jury, and executioner. It's hard to believe that because you don't feel comfortable indecently exposing yourself to a police officer you can lose your driving privileges."
Ed Birk, public information administrator for Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, won't say whether he thinks Wolok has a point to make. "The law is clear that the suspension of his license is an administrative procedure entirely separate from the criminal DUI process," Birk says. "While the case is pending, it wouldn't be proper for me to offer a comment on that. And the bashful kidney? This is the first I've heard of it.

The gorgeous Xbox Live Arcade scrolling shooter, Sine Mora, will be released for PS3.
So confirms developers Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality, who aren't ready to offer a release date any more specific than "soon".
The game was originally released as an Xbox Live Exclusive in March 2012, and was praised for delivering sweet classic shooter action with pretty current-gen 3D visuals.
The PS3 version will be joined on PSN by a previously-confirmed Vita version, which also has an ETA of "soon".
No new features were mentioned for the PS3 version, but Vita owners can expect a "new hero, Wilhelmine Muller, coming directly from the fantastic world of Japanese cult studio G.rev's Under Defeat", who will bring with them "a brand new special weapon and new chronomes".
If you haven't seen Sine Mora in action, you might want to check out the Xbox launch trailer.

Wellington - Batsman Jesse Ryder is considering a return to Test cricket for New Zealand's home series against England next month, just as warnings sound that New Zealand may be shunned by other test-playing nations.
Ryder said he will meet national coach Mike Hesson on January 29 to discuss his future, adding "I'm definitely not ruled out for a return for England."
The left-hander last played for New Zealand in February, 2012 before taking an indefinite break to deal with fitness and personal issues. He has since scored 558 runs in first class cricket at an average of 69.75 and 508 runs in domestic Twenty20 matches at 63.
Ryder's comments come as national director of cricket, John Buchanan, warns that New Zealand's poor form may make it harder to find Test opponents.

Advisory Board
Engaging Administrators is of Principal Importance
Editors note: New contributor Sarah Svarda, three-time first-place National Scholastic Book Fairs® National Elementary School Contest winner, shares tips and best practices she has successfully used to organize and run world-class Book Fairs.
Sarah serves as the librarian at Discovery School in Murfreesboro, Tenn., a winner in 2012 of the National Blue Ribbon Award. She worked for five years as a third-grade teacher and has nine years experience as a media specialist.
Before starting her teaching career, Sarah attended Tennessee Technological University, where she earned an undergraduate degree in multidisciplinary studies (grades 1 to 8) and a masters degree in instructional leadership. An accomplished Book Fair chairperson, Sarah was named the National Scholastic Book Fairs® National Elementary School Contest first-place winner in 2006, 2007, and 2010 and the second-place winner in 2008.
By Sarah Svarda, librarian, Discovery School, Murfreesboro, Tenn.
What havent we done to our principal? Good question! Every year, our principal plays one of the most pivotal roles in the success of our Book Fair. Lets look at three easy ways to involve your principal in your Book Fair.
Enlist Your Principals Support.
You need your principals support for your Book Fair and planning. Its important to check with your principal first when planning important Book Fair details. For example, I consult my principal before I put any Book Fair dates on the school calendar. I also invite my principal to all of the Book Fair planning meetings I have with my PTA parents and Student Crew. Of course, she cant make it to every meeting, so I email a meeting update to her if she were unable to attend. I also include her in any emails that I send to my planning committee. I stop by her office to share exciting new ideas and updates about the Fair. Keeping your principal involved in the planning helps her feel as if she is an integral part of your team.
Create a Principal Challenge.
We also enlist our principal to perform a wacky challenge as a reward for meeting a Book Fair goal. She creates a Principal Challenge for every Fair we host. Some of my favorite challenges include:
The Principal on the Roof, in which the principal spends the day on the school roof;
Human Sundae, in which students take turns covering the principal in ice cream and toppings;
Principal Operation, in which the assistant principal performs a faux operation on the principal using Silly String, cooked spaghetti, whipped cream, and other messy props;
and Minute To Win It, in which the principal and assistant principal face off and try to complete various tasks within 60 seconds.
By the way, if your principal does not feel comfortable setting a challenge, you could ask a PTA parent, a teacher, or another faculty member who is popular with your students to step in. But this is a great way to keep her involved.
We also give our principal a role in our Book Fair kickoff. This is a schoolwide assembly we hold the Friday before the Fair to generate excitement among students over the weekend. This way, theyre extra eager to attend the Book Fair and family events planned for the following week. The Student Crew creates a role for the principal to play during the assembly as a way to create anticipation among students and teachers about what shell do next. For example, weve dressed our principal like John Travolta and had her ride a Harley into the gym, revving her engine loudly as everyone entered.
This year, to tie in with the Story Laboratory theme, our Student Crew put her on a gurney we borrowed from the local hospital and rushed her into the gym, where our assistant principal dressed in scrubs and and sporting crazy scientist hair was waiting to perform an emergency mad science surgery. We placed her behind a strategically draped curtain and performed the surgery in front of the student body with larger-than-life surgical supplies. Then our assistant principal screamed, Its alive! as our principal emerged from behind the curtain transformed into the Bride of Frankenstein!
The opening skit at our kickoff always segues into the principal and assistant principal announcing their challenge. As our principal announces her challenge, we display a visual to show how we will work toward our goal. This year, that visual was a huge test tube that we painted and filled with mysterious green goo, which we watched ooze its way toward our goal throughout the week. At the end of our Fair, we displayed our gushing test tube in the front office for all our students and their families to see.
Include a Principals Pick.
I just learned this year about another amazing idea for principal engagement. A colleague of mine created a Principals Pick board. You simply ask your principal and assistant principal to pick a favorite book from your Book Fair. For example, our principal picked an affordable paperback appropriate for early readers, while our assistant principal picked a title that would interest fourth- through sixth-graders. Through advertising, we let everyone know the principal and assistant principal would attend one of our family events and sign copies of their picks for students who bought them. We created a poster that read, I am a Principals Pick. The night of the event, our principals sat at a very official-looking table with a nice tablecloth decorated with die-cut stars, and we stacked several copies of each of their picks on the table. Students got their Principals Pick books autographed, had their pictures taken with the principal, and had their names placed on a star that was displayed on the Principals Pick poster for everyone to see during the week.
Try These Bonus Ideas!
Inform your principal daily about your Book Fair totals, and have him email teachers and students with word problems about the totals every day. Students will look forward to seeing the daily tally, will enjoy solving the problem, and will become excited as they inch closer to their Book Fair goal. We asked questions such as, How much more money do we need to make to reach our goal? or What percentage of our goal have we earned?
We had a Student Crew member design a button this year, which we sold for $2 each as part of Scholastics All for Books® program. Every time a student bought a button, his or her name was entered into a drawing to be principal for a day. At the end of our Fair, we drew the winners name. That student not only became principal for a day but the principal had to be a student in the winners classroom. We had a blast and raised more than $300 in button sales alone!

This talk was part ofPSFK Conference SF 2011
How can you market a brand intelligently to mobile consumers without overwhelming smaller screens with ads? Where do brands fit into the mobile application development market? Experts predict that by 2013, there will be 13 billion smartphones, necessitating creative thinking and sharp financial ideas. Users expect a free experience, but the reality is that in order to offer this, mobile developers and brands need a solid business platform. Expert mobile developers Gloria Lin of Flipboard, Michael Callahan of One, Inc., Jack Krawczyk of StumbleUpon, and Jason Oberfest of ngmoco:) gather to discuss their varied experience at thePSFK CONFERENCE SAN FRANCISCO, and tell us the secrets to selling products and services on the small screen.
Some of the highlights include:
- Why brands are the primary, not secondary experience
- How brands can harness emotions and expectations to align with consumer expectations
- Solutions for brands creating high quality information and products, but having difficulty reaching their audience
- Why brands must tell a story and have higher quality distribution – advertising isn't enough
- Insights as to the future of advertising (kill annoying distractions!)

Pimm, whose research group works in the Everglades each year, said some scientists have erroneously tended to "look at a map and say, 'because this species isn't here [on the map], then it can't be here.'"
Pimm noted the case of a panther biologist who he said was dismissed from his government post for arguing that developers should not be given permits to clear areas where the endangered species has not been seen before.
"Our results support his contention that the panther is a generalist. You certainly don't want to give up areas to developers by assuming that panthers cannot occupy them," said Pimm, who noted that an expanded range for Florida panthers could raise several such social issues.
While female hybrids seem to be surviving considerably better than their purebred counterparts, "hybrid males have shorter lives than purebreds," the paper also reports. The authors suspect many of the males are killed by older purebred males in the area. Others migrate into areas with "fewer cats but other dangers from human settlement," Pimm said. "Young males get into trouble whatever species they are."
Pimm acknowledged the hybrid panthers are genetically different from purebreds. But he and his co-authors noted that the federal government has decided that offspring hybrids will still be considered "Florida panthers" eligible for endangered species protection.

One of the joys of being a subscriber to Granta is seeing, with each issue, what theme the literary journal is going to tackle this time. Themed issues began in 1979, under editor Bill Buford, and they have been both eclectic ("What Young Men Do") and frank ("Losers").
The themes continued when John Freeman took over a few years back,and the most frankly-themed issue of all ("Sex") was a best-seller. And now we have "The F Word," which is not what you might think it is.
The newest issue of Granta tackles feminism, and it plunges right into the topic with pieces by Francine Prose, A.S. Byatt, and Edwidge Danticat. Eudory Welty is in here, too. So is Louise Erdrich.
"The Ojibwe Week," Erdrich's offering, is from her novel "The Antelope's Wife," which, according to the contributors' notes,is forthcoming in a newly revised edition.
The folks at Granta have created three short films, inspired by three of the pieces. One film, inspired by Helen Simpson's "Night Thoughts," is posted on the Granta website. I can't link to it here because this is a family newspaper and the film is mildly -- well, imagine what you might be thinking about when you're lying awake at 3 a.m. and there you have it, darkness and all.

According to Nelson Branco's latest Suds Report "Myrtle may also be a victim" of upcoming tornado storyline. What do you think of this? Myrtle Fargate to be killed off? I'm ok with it. We hardly see Myrtle. (9%, 50 Votes) The only way this is ok is if the actress chose to leave. (46%, 259 Votes) This is outrageous! (45%, 251 Votes) Total Voters: 560Vote Loading ... 11 Responses season1217 August 22, 2008 I know we don't see her all that much but they can't do this! Any scene w/ Myrtle in it makes you smile. The woman has presence even with actors one-third her age. If it's Eileen's decision to leave then have her go stay w/ Bianca in Paris or something but don't kill her please! Log in to Reply joshua2854 August 22, 2008 If EH has decided to retire I'm kind of ok with it . . . sort of. It would be kind of cool if CP and EH consulted over the history of the show and discussed how Myrtle's death might send shock waves throughout out Pine Valley and how it could drive storyline for certain characters . . . seriously, what am I thinking . . . but wouldn't that be cool. Otherwise, it sucks, I agree with seasons 1217, send her to Paris to be with Binks. Log in to Reply weareclouds August 22, 2008 If Eileen wants to actually be out of AMC for good. And, she chose this as the way to go. Than I'm absolutely fine with this. If not, and they fired her. Than boooooooo to Pratt. Log in to Reply Luke Kerr August 22, 2008 I don't care what they do, just don't kill the character off…give her a kick ass goodbye by giving her one final storyline where she finds romance late in life and let her go off into the sunset. Log in to Reply ABCJunky73 August 22, 2008 WHAT !!! I can't beleave that they might kill Myrtle off :jawdrop: ! This makes me sad ! I smile everytime she appers ! I agree with Luke, let her find a sweety and go off into the sunset . Pine Valley will be lost without her :O . Zach will be devistated, Myrtle has become a sarrogate mother/grandmother to him. This whould rip his heart apart, along with numorous Pine Valley residents . *** "YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE"!!*** Log in to Reply mrsa1107 August 22, 2008 I know many are upset over the idea of Myrtle being killed off– but in respect to the actress– perhaps she wants or needs to stop. I am in favor of giving the older actors/actress a send off that they can participate in. Rather then them pass away in real life– then months later have them kill off the character off screen— like Phoebe & Mona (AMC) or Lila (GH). Especially since many of the older stars arent working much to begin with— we hardly see them anymore— so we no longer appreciate their actting ability & remember why they've lasted on their shows as long as they did. I would rather see Mrytle injured in the torrnado and have her act in some goodbye type scenes with her costars. Imagine the inpact of a scene where we see Myrtle in a hospital bed with Erica, Zach and Opal by her side. I would much rather that — then these silly filler scenes with Myrtle as a glorified extra. If written correctly this goodbye could win the show an emmy! Look at the death of Asa on OLTL. It was a beautiful send off to an actor who just didnt want to work as much these days– plus it show cased the talent of the show & the richness of the character. I think a goodbye scene between Erica and Myrtle (AGAIN– IF WRITTEN RIGHT) could win Ms Lucci her second Emmy Log in to Reply Luke Kerr August 22, 2008 If this is her choice and if RC was writing AMC instead of OLTL then MAYBE this wouldn't be as bad as it looks like it could be. As it is though, I do not have a shred of confidence that this will be done well. Stranger things have happened though. Log in to Reply EricasEvilTwin August 22, 2008 I have a feeling that her health will not allow her to continue on the show. There have been reports of health problems and if she is not in a position to work any more then I think this could be a good way to send her off. If she went off with a new love or something like that, it would probably have to be entirely off camera (if she cant film) and that would be empty. If they kill her off then we get to see and experience how important the character was to the entire town. So IF its done right and IF this is her decision then I am okay with it. Log in to Reply THEBEST August 22, 2008 Hell, no!!! This will NEVER do. Even though we don't see her all the time, it's still good to know that she's there & okay. It's like that one family member that you barely see, but it's all good because everything is kosher with them. I hope that this is just a rumor like Opal being killed off was back in May. ***///Living In The World Of Soaps Since 1985\\\*** Log in to Reply weareclouds August 22, 2008 I really hope that if this is true. That Eileen or her family will personally release a statement about it. To tell us whether she chose this fate or not. Like I said above. I'll miss her so so so much. Myrtle reminds me of my late grandmother. Log in to Reply season1217 August 22, 2008 Click on this link and you'll find out why you don't kill Myrtle. And if you don't laugh @ Erica's comment to Brooke about her dating life then you don't have a sense of humor! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfqOftJGF1M Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

Leanne's StoryMy Mother used to make a cake similar to this one(no rum) when I was little. She always used crushed pineapple because she said the pineapple rings cooked too long and was tough.I haven't made this cake in years but I've decided to make it for Christmas this year.
1/4 cup butter

LeAnne, I always have crushed pineapple on hand, and I like your recipe. It is certainly pinched, and I'll let you know how it turns out.
