text: Home Culture Rich vs. Poor: The Nation's Main Conflict? According to a new Pew survey, Americans put the divide at the top of our list of problems. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Jan. 12 2012 6:18 PM 0 Today Slate is analyzing the results of a new Pew survey that says Americans believe that the greatest source of tension in the U.S. is now the conflict between the rich and poor (immigration issues used to hold the top spot). Do we have the Occupy Wall Street movement to thank for this new focus? Read more from Slate: Two-thirds of respondents surveyed last month think there are "very strong" or "strong" conflicts between the wealthy and the poor in the country. That's an increase of 19 percentage points from those who answered the same question two years ago. The New York Times spoke to Richard Morin, a senior editor at Pew Social & Demographic Trends, where the survey was conducted, who offered two apt pull quotes: "income inequality is no longer just for economists" and "it has moved off the business pages into the front page." What may be just as telling as the perception of the growing conflict, is the divide over whether or not the richest [Americans] have earned the wealth they do have. As the Associated Press points out, just about an even number of people think the wealthy were born into their privilege (46 percent) as do those who believe they earned their economic success through their "own hard work, ambition, or education" (43 percent). Does this mean that more Americans will be ready to listen to Tavis Smiley and Cornel West's solutions for eradicating poverty? Read The Root's Cynthia Gordy's piece on their approach here.

INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT: Film Movement's Meistrich Attempts to Reinvent Indie Distribution
by Matthew Ross
When independent film outfit The Shooting Gallery unexpectedly shut its doors in 2001, the U.S. independent film scene was already in a state of readjustment. The film economy had been slowing since the late '90s, and companies of all sizes were suddenly revisiting their business plans and preparing for leaner years to come. Yet the demise of TSG, one of the most active companies of the past decade, nonetheless came as a shock. Just a year earlier, TSG had begun expanding its services when it launched its pioneering and extremely well-received traveling film series, in addition to having several anticipated projects already in development.
Deservedly or not, many of those familiar with the company's troubles assigned much of the blame for the collapse to TSG founder Larry Meistrich. Now, after remaining below the radar for much of the past year, Meistrich has resurfaced with Film Movement, a new distribution service that publicly launched in August.
The Film Movement model could not be more different than TSG's Film Series. Rather than program a traveling group of films that played theatrical dates in both large and small markets, Meistrich has created a new model based around a DVD subscription service that will also include theatrical dates in major market cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. For $189 per year or $19.95 per month, subscribers will get one DVD (or VHS tape) each month, and subscribers will also get free tickets to all Film Movement theatrical releases. Film Movement's first title, Achero Manas's Goya Award-winning "El Bola," shipped to subscribers last week.
For indieWIRE's monthly industry spotlight column, senior editor Matthew Ross spoke with Meistrich about his new company, the evolution of art-house moviegoing, and what he's learned from his days at The Shooting Gallery.
indieWIRE: How did you come up with the idea for this company?
Larry Meistrich: When we did the film series at The Shooting Gallery, what we found was theatrically in very big cities, like New York, you did well at the box office with very high-caliber films. The second you moved out of New York, it got killed.
When you are out in suburban New Jersey, you have the same cost of media, same ad space, same print publications, but you are only reaching 500,000 people instead of 8 million. You need a significantly large number of people to go to do any business, that's why it doesn't work. As you go down the food chain, the smaller guys just don't have the money to compete for consumer awareness, therefore they don't put up a large sum of money initially. That's why other than your art houses, you can lose your screens very quickly.
"I'm not reliant on this three-day opening weekend where everything has to be driven to those three days, and if it doesn't work, you're done."
The one thing we did find was that when we did release a film, we would get hundreds of thousands of emails asking when we would come to Des Moines, Westchester, Buffalo, etc. In reality, we were never coming, certainly not theatrically. We were relying on the awareness in our five or 10 theatrical markets for video chains and pay cable networks to create awareness in their communities so that they would buy enough tapes and see it there. In New York, you do have a choice, because 50 films open here every weekend. I live in the suburbs, so I have no choice. There is one big multiplex and they have four screens, and they show the four biggest movies.
The idea came to me of to orchestrate a mechanism that can bring people in the suburbs, in the south and in the midwest, everywhere outside the top 10 markets, a way to access these films. The funny thing is that I'm in the Academy, and I get the screeners while they are still in the theater. Last year I got "Harry Potter," and the reaction I got from people who wanted to watch it was so strong. I got to thinking, what if we could give everybody the Academy experience, where we could show first-run films in the home while they're also out at the theater?
We are going to do a film series again, but we are going to do them in the top few cities: New York, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco, and then depending on subject matter and time of year, it will move around to Seattle, Boston, Dallas, and Miami kinds of cities. For instance, "El Bola" was our first film, we opened theatrically on December 13, and shipped to all of our consumers on December 10. That way, everybody else in the country gets it the same time it opens in New York. If you are a New York subscriber, you will get it at the same time as well, except, we buy your movie ticket, you don't have to pay twice. Theatrical is a marketing initiative to me, a way to honor our filmmakers.
Some films will be seen in theaters, some will be seen in living rooms, but by different consumers. What this does is elongate the windows, so I'm not reliant on this three-day opening weekend where everything has to be driven to those three days, and if it doesn't work, you're done. Because of the subscription model, you have all year long. I don't care about the revenue theatrically, which is just getting back marketing money.
iW: Would you say that an era for theatrical movie going for art films is over?
Meistrich: I totally agree. Our industry, including myself in the past, is very New York and LA centered. When I lived here, to go the movies I just walked down the block, no big deal. I don't live in a place like that now. Going to the movies requires planning, driving, parking, babysitting. There's a lot of shit I have to do now because I don't live in Manhattan, literally to go to any movie, independent or not.
iW: Do you think if you hadn't gotten married and moved to the suburbs and you stayed in New York would you have come up with the idea for this company?
Meistrich: Definitely not. In New York, there are 25 film festivals for any sort of niche that I could possibly be interested in. But in Bergen County there's not any. It would have been so evident to me that my kids are going to grow up differently than I did, because I grew up in the Bronx and I could come to the city whenever I wanted. And my kids don't have cultural choice.
I have no beef with the studio films. Some studio films are great, quality films, but those come few and far between. I'd like my daughter to be able to see a French film, a documentary and know about it and have access to it. If the way I have to do that in places like where I live is to go through your living room, then I'll go through your living room. I'm still offering you the theatrical choice. If you can't make it, I don't want you to miss it.
"Independent film doesn't drive this industry. My father in law is a 66-year-old heart surgeon who lives in Ridgepark, NJ. There is basically nothing you can do to compel him to drive into Manhattan to see anything."
iW: How have you gotten the existing subscribers so far, and what has been the reaction from your consumers?
Meistrich: Unbelievably good. I thought there would be a need for education, a big cultural shift. I'm not going to tell you how many people signed up, but it's a lot: 45 states, 400 cities.
iW: Is it going to be a challenge to approach filmmakers who still expect a more traditional distribution model? Have you had trouble convincing them that this is not minor league?
Meistrich: So far, no. But if someone is coming to you with a million-dollar offer, take it. In the long run, who knows what can happen, depending on how many subscribers we have. One of the things that we offer filmmakers is a formula, a payment schedule, a straight dollar sum deal. Any time a dollar comes in, they make money, whether it's a subscriber, a buyer, a sponsor, an advertising sale. No distribution fees, no bullshit, no creative accounting, you can check your producer statements every 10 minutes. I could tell you how much you're worth, up to the minute, literally.
If you signed up right now, I would get an e-mail instantly, showing where you're from, which plan you took, what movies you're renting, a lot of consumer information, which we share with our filmmakers. And in turn we let our consumer share in the filmmaker info as well. Part of what we're trying to do is create a community roundtable, so every film or filmmaker will have a key cast or key crew email, so you can contact them.
Independent film doesn't drive this industry. My father in law is a 66-year-old heart surgeon who lives in Ridgepark, NJ. There is basically nothing you can do to compel him to drive into Manhattan to see anything. He's busy, he's older, and he would buy movie tickets but won't come in because it's just too far. He's a consumer, but you're not giving him the content in a way he can consume it. You're not bringing it to him, and there are millions of people waiting for it to come to them. And so, we are giving them an easy convenient way to have it brought to them. I really want to reach the guys like my father-in-law.
iW: It seems that you're gearing your business towards upper-middle class people with substantial disposable income. Would that be an appropriate way to target your demographic?
Meistrich: If you look at who goes to the New York Film Festival, that audience is 18 to 80. What they have in common is that they are college educated, print-driven -- reviews matter to them. And they are usually middle class and up. There's not a great deal of dollars spent in independent film for people who have no money at any level. You look at the Angelika, its not people who are making $22,000 a year spending 30 bucks a night on movie tickets.
And it's disparate, meaning they're everywhere. People will travel from the boroughs, from Jersey, from Pennsylvania to go to Lincoln Center for the New York Film Festival. So there's the draw: that these are special, these are different, these aren't things they get to see everyday.

Our testers really loved playing with this red and yellow dump truck that's made of 100% recycled milk jugs. Parents also gave high marks to the all green recycled packaging as well. It's a good choice for indoor play or the sandbox. They also have a sturdy Recycling Truck that our testers also enjoyed.

AADL-GT Round 2 Results
The 2005 season thunders on, and round 2 fufilled expectations, with intense competition, increased controversy, and a solid 100+ turnout. Registration enhancements helped us get everyone checked in faster, and putting food and a TV outside the room was a big hit, decreasing the congestion and making more room for everyone.
The Mario Kart single-player event kicked off with 83 competitors, and a new split-screen approach, with two races going on at once. Everyone got 3 qualifying races, which unfortunately still took forever, and after a tiebreaker, the top 32 advanced to the quarterfinals. The semifinals got us down to a final 8 person race, with [gtplayer:168] taking First place, [gtplayer:141] taking second, veteran [gtplayer:345] taking third, and Black Shark Clan's [gtplayer:153] taking 4th, all getting a trip to the Surprize round, and to the grand championships in december. Read on for more!
Already way behind schedule, we charged on to the Mario Kart Team Event, with 38 teams competing, each team getting two races and 16 teams advancing to the semis. The finals of this event read like an induction list to the AADL-GT hall of fame (what an idea!), with TP2 and his brother winning the event, Trouble Monkeys taking second, the Inoculated Nuns (of the Vaccinated Monks clan of course) coming in third, and The other side of darkness (jlgelinas and ampshock) taking 4th.
There was plenty of pizza this time, and as we began the 105-player Super Smash Brothers Single-player melee, the infamous Noise Machine had thoroughly worn out their welcome, and were searching for lost or stolen drumsticks. With 2 battles per player, the competition was brutal as players attempted to get into the top 32 places to move on to the quarterfinals. Only winners advanced, and the four finalists were Pickwick the Second, DDR regular Piratey Critter, Skillz dat Killz' Monkeyman, and the Foreign Exchange's Dragoon Black. The mighty Pickwick emerged victorious from this intense battle, proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is not all talk.
The Team Melee tournament, which didn't even start until 4:45, with 47 teams competing in a single-elimination, 2-stock battle. 4 teams advanced to the finals, winning a trip to the Surprize round and the Grand Championships: Melee Masters, Trouble Monkeys 2, The Blitzers, and Nitemare.
Finally, thinking our broadcast had long since ended (although later discovering that CTN had carried it to the end), the mystery game was revealed: Super Monkey Ball 2, with quals in Monkey Target, and the final Prize round in Monkey fight. Both games were an absolute blast, with the four highest targeteers advancing to a Monkey Fight for the ages between Vaccinate Monks Duck and BubblingBeebles, Piratey Critter, and Trouble Monkey Clan's infamous Joe S. Duck put on an impressive display, winning the $70 prize in 3 straight matches, with BubblingBeebles taking second for $50, and Joe S narrowly edging out Piratey Critter for the $30 3rd prize.
Clan play was fast and furious as well, with the Trouble Monkey Clan storming to the top of the leaderboard, but the Vaccinated Monks notched up over 6000 points to claim the Round 2 Clan Victory, and winning a trip to the Clan Cup in December.
Check out the leaderboard for full stats, including new features, like race-by-race stats and a wins table for each player, accessible to all. We've also got a new method to insert your logo, which actually works. Just add gtlogo:CODE in square brackets to your signature, and replace CODE with the code for your clan, which follows below.
Next up is our 13+ SSB-only tournament, Friday, October 21st, at 6:00 PM, and then Round 3 on Saturday, October 22nd, from Noon to 5:00 PM.
Here are the clan codes for clans that have logos so far, they're pretty much what you'd expect:
Trouble Monkeys: TMC
Vaccinated Monks: VMC
Turtle Clan: TC
T-Unit: TC2
Black Shark Clan: BSC
I don't think anyone except you (Pickwick) and I will post on this tread.
So Pickwick does the new Hierarchy in robotics supersede the required hours or are they equal? I just want to know if we want quantity or quality. Or if we won't have an away team at all with both requirements. Since only freshmen will be able to devote all their time to be at meeting and freshmen don't have the experience to do it alone. I know that there will be a few exceptions for who can go to the away competition if we have both requirements but freshmen plus Eric D., Eric R., Mercy and You doesn't make for a good away competition.
"Round up the usual suspects."
Good Morrow!
What you say is quite true. For written records: Eligibility for the competitions will be determined based on total number of hours rather than on number of meetings attended. The latter method is, as you say, stupid. We might be forced to institute a minimum amount of money raised (group fundraisers like the printer cartridge pickup would probably count toward all participants), but that would be a last resort; we REALLY don't want to have a requirement that borders on charging club dues, which is illegal(I think.) We do need money, though; using nearly half our time before the money is due, we have raised a mere pittance of about a thousand dollars, less than a quarter of our goal. During this time, we have run three fundraisers (Cookie dough, Poinsettia, and the other one), the first of which saw the involvement of 15 students. The poinsettia sale was somewhat disorganised on our part, which may have contributed to the miserable showing of 3 students, one of whom (Jonny Johnson) sold 64 poinsettias to earn $190 for the club. We have four more ongoing fundraisers: Coupon books, for which we are to pay by next Friday; Duct Tape, which is kicking in on Saturday; the Printer Cartridge/Old Cell Phone/Toner Cartridge/Pager pickup, which will occur on Saturday and, perhaps, again at a different time; and, finally, the can/bottle drive, which is sort of an ongoing collection effort(I don't know if it brings in any revenue, because everybody has forgotten about it, if they ever knew it existed...) More are coming up, including the Candy Sale, which netted the largest profit of any single fundraiser last year. The bottom line, though, is that, unless we can persuade people other than Little Ian, Alvin, myself, and Jonny to make an extra effort for the Team, we are not going to an Away competition.
I forgot to mention the first good news about our finances we've received this school year: we've been sponsored to the tune of $400 in store-credit from two stores, which means that we can recalculate our budget to put that sum toward the competition; that means we're almost a third of the way there, so, if the Candy Sale does especially well, we might make it. YEA!
As for the expectation that we are the only two who will post on this thread, it is my my opinion that you are forgetting another: the almighty Eli, Closer of Old Threads and Creator of New.
Good Day!
---------------Pickwick the Second----------------------
Good Morrow!
I must add, under the agreement that this is strictly confidential and shall under NO circumstances be communicated to any other members of the Club or members of the general NON-Robotics-enrolled populace, that the regulations are, quite probably, too stringent and will need to be altered based on the level of participation across the group. I hope they will help motivate all current members to increase their involvement significantly, but in the event that fewer than, say, a third or a half of the students meet them, we might decrease the number of hours required. Of course, that in and of itself would cause problems, as the student(s) just below the cutoff line might feel that they were deliberately excluded or unfairly treated, and that would be a bad thing. In the best case scenario, all members will make the cutoff and not a soul will be left behind for the Evil Bus Driver to collect in the back of his bus.
Just a few hours left(of pre-school time, not of homework...)
Good Day!
-----Pickwick the Second, VP-----
"First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill."
Good Morrow!
Well, it would seem that Eli has not yet closed this thread. I had been hoping that he would have taken action to close it while I still maintain my position of last poster, but alas, it was not to be. You'll probably get it. Well, enjoy it!
Good Day!

Here's a good one, from Adafruit, for parents of budding Gadget Masters (mini-Masters?) It's a colouring book featuring electronic components and their inventors – "Lady Ada's E is for electronics"
"Makers of all ages can learn and colour," say the creators in the video below (illustrations are accompanied by helpful text). L is for LED, for example:
An LED (light-emitting diode) is a special kind of diode that emits light when a current flows through it. The LED has two terminals, an anode and a cathode. Because it is a diode, electrons can only ow in one direction. When the electrons cross the barrier between the anode and the cathode, they release a photon, which produces light.
What's nice is that you can also print it at home by downloading the PDF of the entire (26 page) colouring book.
Find it in the Young Engineer section of the Adafruit website, and check out the lots of other interesting entries there, too!
Green is certainly an important part of the palette – check out this statement on the Adafruit site:
Adafruit's coloring books are manufactured in partnership with AMBRO Manufacturing located in NJ, USA. AMBRO is a family owned and operated business since 1990 that celebrates open-source with Adafruit Industries. You can meet their team here. AMBRO uses non-toxic soy based, water soluble and environmentally friendly printing supplies, threads and more when possible. AMBRO has over 250 solar panels that generate 50,000 Kilowatt hours per year. Their equipment runs solar powered, so the wonderful things AMBRO and Adafruit have worked together on are made with the sun! AMBRO Manufacturing was recognized by Impressions Magazine, a leading trade publication in the garment printing and embroidery business, who published an article highlighting AMBRO and their commitment to their environmentally focused manufacturing practices. Adafruit knows you have a lot of choices as to where you spend your money and time, we hope our open-source values, commitment to green technologies and partners helps make the decision easier and fun!

So far I'm not a fan of the new board. I like going up to the top and jumping right to a topic, not backtracking to one. KISS comes to mind. Maybe once I get used to it, like I did with playing GR, it'll be okay. Old dog, new tricks? New wine, old bag?
I do think the smileys are cool.

Older Swindon shoppers not fussed about plastic bag charge plan (From This Is Wiltshire)
Older Swindon shoppers not fussed about plastic bag charge plan
5:30am Monday 21st April 2014 in By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
A PLASTIC bag levy due to come into force next year may not ruffle as many feathers in Swindon as it may across the nation, for over 50s especially.
In a poll carried out for Saga – which provides products such as insurance and holidays for the over 50s – 70 per cent of more than 11,000 customers said the 5p charge to use a plastic bag would change their shopping behaviour.
Fifty-seven per cent said they intend to make more use of old bags when they do their shopping – while 10 per cent said they will make an extra effort to fit more groceries into their bags than usual.
More than a fifth said they would simply buy more reusable bags, while one per cent of those asked, insist the charge will simply make them buy less groceries.
But among a selection of over 50s in Swindon over the weekend, many said they had already adopted long-life bags, removing the need to request new bags every time they shop.
Mary Skinner, 70, above, from Old Town, said: "We tend to use our own bags anyway and don't tend to bother with carrier bags.
"I would think that those who do use 10 or more bags each time would cut it down though.
"I think a good idea would be to make the first bag free and charge 5p for each one after that.
"Assistants also shouldn't be asking if we want a bag. Even if you have a few items they ask if you want a bag. Not asking might help cut the problem down.
"It's force of habit more than anything and there's nothing wrong with people changing their habits."
Mick Bates, 71, above, of The Weavers, said: "You can get these bag for life things now, I shouldn't think the levy's going to affect too many people. You can swap the bags for life when they get worn out too.
"I do have a large container at home which is full of plastic packaging. Until we started recycling we couldn't imagine how much plastic we get through.
"I don't feel it is an issue. It depends how poor you are, I guess."
Neil Henderson, 51, above, of Croft Road, said: "I buy the lifetime bags, though I sometimes forget them, so I think a plastic bag levy is a good idea.We should be cutting down on waste bags and this idea supports that.
"It's not about the money, it's more about making them think about it.
"People are more concerned about climate change and green issues now, and this is all part of that. Anything we can do to raise awareness is a good idea."

Customer pays 5p per bag, supposedly to keep them out of landfill, (when most plastic carrier bags are reused anyway and are bio-degradable) 20% VAT is a fantastic little earner for this bankrupt government who will stop at nothing to raise a few bob! One penny a bag is TAX ... silly people!!!
The population will end up buying heaps of bags for everyday use from the pound shops ... which will be doing exactly the same as before the extra, hidden tax!!!
What a country of idiots being run by crooks!

Some of the so-called biodegradable bags just beak down into smaller plastic fragments - even more dangerous for wildlife.
It is not necessary to provide plastic bags for shopping. Take your own bag - it's no effort.

Just a few days after graciously receiving a ticket for making an illegal turn, Jessica Alba receives another ticket. However this one was just for an expired parking meter. Alba was having lunch at Urth Cafe with her daughter Honor Marie Warren, and either forgot to feed the meter before she went in, or took a little to long in finishing up her lunch.
Poor Honor Marie, since daddy Cash Warren wasn't along, she most likely had to listen to mommy bitch about the ticket all the way home. Hopefully Honor just took a nap.

Officials set aside $6 million for two major road projects in Delaware County.
The first project will widen state Route 750 from Sawmill Parkway to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, ThisWeek Community Newspapers reported.
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission was expected to award $3.5 million to help fund the project, pending the conclusion of a 45 day public comment period that started on Nov. 30.
Just under $3.5 million will go toward widening Polaris Parkway from Interstate 71 to Old Worthington Road.
Both projects will be part of an effort to reduce heavy traffic congestion along the roads.

Bringing Generations of New England Yankee Craftsmanship to the Gourmet Housewares Industry for Over 65 Years
Some of the world's finest woodworkers can be found in New England. The craft and folk lore of the great Yankee Woodworker has been handed down through the generations and is as well known today as it was hundreds of years ago. The early Vermonters employed by J.K. Adams are certainly attributable to their current success and quality craftsmanship. Today, J.K. Adams employs the future generations of woodworkers. Their skills and knowledge, like the craftsmen who came before them, will be passed down to the next generation.
Located in a rural area of Vermont, J.K. Adams remains one of the largest employers in the area and is an important pillar of support for their local community. Since 1944, the J.K. Adams Company has endured through fires, severe storms and hard economic times, and all the while provided for as many as three generations of families. They take great pride in presenting products that are not only made proudly in the USA, but keep their dedicated workforce continually employed.
J.K. Adams has always used the creativity and skill of their workforce to develop new products. Today, they lead their category in design. Others try to emulate them, but none are as dedicated to creating products that endure over time.
Their Logo:
In Colonial times, British military foresters commandeered the tallest, straightest trees throughout New England to be used as ship masts for the Royal Navy. A simple broad arrow figure was chopped into the bark of the magnificent trees, thereby marking them as property of the Crown – no compensation, no discussion. Along with the tax on tea, this activity helped inspire the American Revolution. The J.K. Adams factory adopted the broad arrow to symbolize the highest quality wood products. While they don't encourage armed revolution, they continue to stir the revolutionary pot in their industry setting the standards for environmental excellence, functional design, impeccable workmanship and reliable service.
Their Guarantee:
J.K. Adams stands behind the products they make. If a products does not live up to expectations in material, workmanship, or function for five years, they will replace it. No questions asked.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
J.K. Adams is proud to have FSC certification. The FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forest. Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forest that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. As the leader in their industry, J.K. Adams has stepped up to prove their environmental commitment and separate themselves from the myriad of products and manufacturers who claim "green" with nothing to back it up.

White Knight:"It's my own invention"
The White Knight arrives just in time to prevent Alice from being taken prisoner by The Red Knight. After a very brief and somewhat clumsy battle, The Red Knight concedes, and The White Knight generously offers to escort our protagonist to the final square of the chessboard where she will become a queen.
The White Knight, who Lewis Carroll most identified with, is quite excited to play a bit of show-and-tell with Alice as he has many inventions, all of which he is proud of, yet none of which seem to have any practical use: an upside down box for keeping the rain out, "But the things can get out," as well, Alice observes. There are horse anklets for protecting against shark bites, a saddle-mounted mouse trap for keeping mice away, a device for keeping hair attached, and so on and so forth and it never gets any less silly.
As well as the numerous unsuccessful attempts at inventions, the pale paladin makes plentiful pursuits atop his trusty stead and plunges each time. Alice, logically concludes, "I'm afraid you've not had much practice," though this comment is met with great surprise and a bit of contempt: "I've had plenty of practice, . . . plenty of practice!" No, The White Knight is neither incredibly adept at his endeavors, nor is he perceptive of his imperfections. Yes, he has a great imagination, and is quite entertaining, but as a Knight, well, he could use a bit more proficiency.
For better and for worse, The White Knight stands as a symbol of undying resilience, and doesn't let his multitudinous mishaps quash his spirits. In fact, he seems to be quite proud of himself despite the frequent shortcomings of his endeavors.
Our undaunted templar is not completely incompetent, however. After all, he does manage to rescue Alice from the captivity of The Red Knight, and escorts her to the final square where she becomes a queen. Yes, he is a very powerful and kind-hearted soul, but maybe a bit too much action, and not enough forethought.
There seems to be an imbalance here. The intentions are good, and there's undying dedication to being productive, yet it comes to little good. Maybe with a bit more contemplation and a bit less forward motion, our good Knight might find himself more frequently atop his trusty stead than beneath it.
This may be your queue to slow down, and quit trying to accomplish so much. Instead of quantity, focus on quality. Balance the helpfulness of critical feedback with your undying inspirations for creation. If you can get this trick mastered, you've pretty much won the game.
alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549574575411112674" />
Meditation: Try doing everything as slowly as possible. Notice if you start to get frustrated, and just take a deep breath in, and let it all out. Sit down slowly. Take your time getting comfortable, and then focus on your breath. As you do, gently start to slow down by deepening the breath. When you've got a full inhale, pause for just a moment to see what that's like, and then slowly exhale, and when you've let all the air out, pause again for just a moment before inhaling again. Go slowly (but not enough to get light headed). Now imagine yourself just being. Not doing anything. Not accomplishing anything. Just sitting, like a flower or a tree. Notice what thoughts come up (Frustration? Annoyance? Criticism?). The more time you give yourself to slow down and just notice, the more likely you are to find that essential balance of doing and being that brings a great sense of fulfillment. You may be surprised to realize you're even more productive and efficient when you take things at a slower pace.

Gay? Facebook Says No.
- 15
Thu 12th Jul, 2007 in International News
It would seem that Myspace is no longer the social networking flavour of the month – that torch has now been passed to Facebook. But already there's controversy – no, no suicide pacts just yet, but new members to Facebook can have the surname Hitler, but not the surname Gay.
With over 30 million members, Facebook is a run away success. With those numbers and that amount of data, it's practically Orwellian.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the error was discovered when New Zealand woman Rowena Gay tried to sign up to the site and was rejected. "Please enter a legitimate surname," it said. She eventually had to use her middle name to get past it.
It's not easy bearing the surname Gay. Back in Sydney in 1991 the Honourable DJ Gay even took it to parliament, asking for Mardi Gras and the pride movement in general to be renamed.
"I have suggested lightheartedly that the so-called gay movement should not be called the gay movement but rather the homosexual movement… My family have suffered and I know a lot of other people who bear the surname of Gay have suffered because of the adoption by the homosexual community of that word."
Oops. Needless to say he didn't get his wish. Sorry to all the Gays out there.
One would think that Facebook would learn from Myspace's mistakes – earlier this year they made headlines when new members were unable to select 'gay' as an option when signing up. It was later revealed to be a technical oversight.

Butler vs.
Kentucky Wesleyan (exhibition)
|Friday, Nov. 2 - 5:00 p.m. ET
|Indianapolis, Ind. - Hinkle Fieldhouse
The new-look Butler women's basketball team will get its first in-game action Friday in an exhibition contest against Kentucky Wesleyan at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Bulldogs are returning just two players who started at least ten games last season: sophomores Hannah Douglas and Haley Howard.
Douglas, who started 27 of 30 games last season, will be expected to provide an offensive spark for Butler. The sophomore guard was the Bulldogs fifth leading scorer last year (7.3 ppg) and is capable of scoring points in bunches, indicated by her 31-point outburst in a March 3 win over Wright State.
Howard led Butler in free throw percentage a year ago, shooting an impressive 92 percent from the charity stripe, en route to scoring 7.7 points per contest.
Friday's match-up will be the first look at seven new Bulldogs.
Butler's new freshman class is made up guards Blaire Langlois and Lexus Murry, forward Katie Brewer and center Olivia Wrencher.
The Bulldogs will also welcome three transfers to the lineup: junior forward Daress McClung (Cincinnati), sophomore guard Taylor Schippers (Oklahoma State) and sophomore center Liz Stratman (Xavier).
Schippers, who started 17 games for Oklahoma State as a freshman, will be the primary ball-handler for Butler this season, while McClung is expected to be a key member of the Bulldogs' front court.
Kentucky Wesleyan is returning all five starters from last season, including leading scorer Karly Rhoads (9.3 ppg).
The Panthers went 17-13 last season and 8-10 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
Friday's game is set to tip off at 5 p.m.

Well, sorta. I've never fully copped to the potty-mouthed pixie thing that Sarah Silverman does - and does relentlessly. Unless you are the kind of person who goes out of your mind at the sight of a purty girl being ironically racist and obnoxious with no real critical/cultural intent or meaning other than "I can't believe she just said that! Outrageous!!!", it gets tired quick* - but all the same, a gig is a gig, so I jumped at the chance to interview her for the new issue of Fashion magazine. How's that for gratitude?
* Though that Matt Damon thing was a hoot. So was The Great Schlep. Maybe she just works best in small portions. How's that for faint praise?

Moses Aloiloi, a freshman who is redshirting for the track and field team this season, finished first at the Tulane Athletics 5K on Saturday
April 26, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - Perfect weather and a return to the Uptown campus brought out over 100 participants to the sixth annual Tulane Athletics 5K on Saturday, and over $10,000 was raised for the Tulane Athletics Fund.
A variety of local runners, along with a slew of Tulane athletics staff and student-athletes, lined up in front of the up-and-coming Yulman Stadium before taking off for the 3.1-mile run that wound in and out of Tulane's campus. Around 100 runners took part in the actual race that returned to campus after being held at City Park last year, while many more sponsored runners and donated to the Tulane Athletics Fund.
"We are really excited to bring this event back to the Tulane campus, and we hope by doing so, we will be able to attract a lot more runners to the event," said Tulane track and field director Eric Peterson. "We got lucky today with a beautiful day of weather, and I think it turned out to be a really good event."
When it was all said and done, Tulane freshman runner Moses Aloiloi - who is redshirting this season for the track and field and cross country seasons - won the event, blowing by the competition and finishing in a time of 15:08. Pat Gavin finished second with a time of 15:46, and former track and field student-athlete Max Miller placed third in a time of 16:15.
"We really wanted to give people the opportunity to run with our athletes," added Peterson. "We've used this as a training run for our athletes, so this was almost like a training run for Moses."
Following the race, the participants were treated to fish tacos and beverages alongside Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, before many were given tours of Yulman Stadium.
The money raised on Saturday, and during the months leading up to the event, will be used to support Tulane student-athletes in their athletic, academic and community pursuits.

Has anybody lodged their application recently and have you had a response? I just did a google search and read on another forum that one women was told late last month by Centrelink that they were taking 2 months to process applications, despite them saying it should be done within 21 days.
I'm thinking of just changing to the baby bonus, I wonder if that will come through quicker. The difference between PPL and BB for us was small anyhow.

The Rs 1,880 crore figure he cited has drawn all-round denials, but with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi having made an issue of Sonia Gandhis tours abroad, including for medical treatment, the BJP today went on the offensive. Accusing the Congress of diverting issues, the party said that if the money spent wasnt Rs 1,880 crore, the Congress should just clarify what it was.
Standing by his questions, Modi said he had not asked about Sonias illness but about her foreign tours from 2004 (when the UPA came to power) to August 15, 2012. Soniajis illness came into the picture recently. But the questions (under RTI) were asked for three years. And they were only about her travel expenses. One should not make it an emotional issue. I myself tell the PM that the country should bear whatever expenses are needed for Soniajis treatment, its a human cause. But when a youth has filed an RTI and you take pride over the introduction of RTI, then please give a reply.
The BJP offensive coincides with Sonias rally in Gujarat on Wednesday to launch the Congress campaign for the Assembly elections. The BJP appeared to have decided that offence was its best defence after the newspaper based on whose report Modi had quoted the figure attributed it to a news agency, which too disowned it. Even the RTI petitioner who was said to have received the figure in reply to his application, Haryana-based Ramesh Verma, said he was yet to get a response from the Centre.
We condemn the Congress partys approach in diverting and adding issues which have not been raised by Narendra Modi. He has very clearly quoted media sources and raised a question. If you are genuinely interested in answering the question, you would say what was the amount spent, BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
If it was not Rs 1,880 crore, then what was it, just say. If money was not spent from public exchequer, say so... We also give good wishes for the health of Sonia Gandhi but if expenses were paid from the public treasury, please clarify.
Modi said he had only raised the issue because newspapers mentioned it. I read in the newspaper that she (Sonia) spent Rs 1,880 crore for foreign tours, means nearly Rs 2,000 crore... If you want to shut my mouth, then please give the details on the total number of Sonias foreign tours

hmm.... I agree most of the choices you listed in the beginning are generic, although I did like most of them especially Nova Jean. Is Jean honoring anyone like (a Jean, a Jane, or a John)? I am giving you international variations to look through and I second someone else's Nova Jeanne. I also like Nova Siobhan although it's not one syllable.
I would try to decide what direction to go in and then pick a middle name. If you like natural names I like Nova Wren, Nova Jade, or Nova Fern. If you like modern names, Nova Elle, Nova Bree, or Nova Shea. If you want a more traditional middle name, Nova Ruth, Nova Eve, or Nova Pearl. If you want a lovely meaning name, Nova Hope, Nova Blythe, or Nova Heart.
I think thinking about what you want the name to be like will help you find the perfect one!
Good Luck!Aspiring Writer. Loves books.
Also inspired by television.
Current Favorite Letters are B, C, F, and G.

Luna Goes to L.A. for the 105th Annual NAMM Show in January 2007
Anaheim - January 2007 - Luna Guitars was right in the middle of the action at January's NAMM show in Los Angeles. NAMM is the professional trade association of the International Music Products Industry and the show is THE place to be for music and fun! Excitement was running strong as thousands of visitors streamed through our new Luna Guitars booth. The display featured breath-taking artwork of the ethereal goddesses that lend their names to Luna's fabulous instruments. Adding to the booth's ambience - and every bit as breath-taking - was our amazing Luna Artist Vicki Genfan, who demonstrated her incredible talent by playing four SRO shows daily on Luna's eagerly-anticipated new Muse 12-string. (If you haven't yet treated yourself to Vicki's awesome performance, click here!)
Luna team members Jeff and Miah were on hand to greet visitors, introduce the eight great new models for 2007 and answer questions about all of Luna's innovative instruments. When enthusiastic buzz about Luna brought especially high numbers of visitors, Jeff's lovely wife Leslie stepped up to help welcome everyone. Visitors eagerly tried out Luna's amazing new offerings: the gorgeous deep purple Flora Lotus, the striking raven Fauna Dragon, the new Henna Oasis featuring Alex Morgan's intricate Ottoman-inspired artwork, the jazzy and stylish Art Deco Athena Gazelle hollow body, the Muse traditional Parlor guitar, the in-demand Muse 12-String, and the smokin' new Dragon guitar and bass Andromeda electrics.
Check out the slideshow to see Luna's visitors and instruments in action!

Real Housewife Unravels After Pricey Sandwich Debacle
Ex spends child support on ciabatta.
Aviva Drescher gave her ex-husband a mouthful after she caught him buying piles of expensive sandwiches at the high-end Hamptons eatery, Golden Pear, when he's $350,000 behind in child support. This is most disconcerting because Aviva had appeared to be the sanest housewife of the season (that theory is down the drain along with her ex's overpriced tuna), but more so because her super-loaded husband, who's already slept with all her friends, isn't lunching anywhere better.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Pierce County prosecutors charged a 37-year-old registered sex offender Tuesday with assault and attempted kidnapping for allegedly running down a woman with his pickup truck in Tacoma and trying to carry her away.
Prosecutors say Andre Jones Taylor was arrested Thursday by detectives tracking down a partial license number provided by the woman. She was hit Feb. 17 as she was walking home from the graveyard shift at a restaurant.
Police say she screamed when the driver tried to pick her up. A passer-by intervened, and the driver fled.
The woman remains hospitalized with broken bones.
Taylor is a convicted rapist. He faces at least 24 years in prison if convicted of the latest charges.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt graces the August cover of Details magazine. He talks about the intense training required to play his character (The Point Man) in Inception; his abiding love for smoking weed; his creative collaboration website hitRECord; and the "most valiant" thing one can do as an artist: "inspire someone else to be creative."
Check out Gordon-Levitt's breathless SNL rendition of "Make 'Em Laugh,"
It's hard not to think this audition helped him land , which he filmed soon after his athletically-demanding acrobatic role in Inception, which required him to nimbly balance on moving walls and ceilings. And here's TOH's flip-cam interview with him at Sundance.

So over 41 hours after polls opened on Thursday morning, Boris Johnson is mayor of London and we can all go to bed to dream analytical dreams about what the results mean for the country.
Probable ETA of a declaration is about an hour, hopefully less (please)
London Elects statement:
We have results in from 13 of the 14 constituencies in the Mayor of London and London Assembly election. The final constituency is Brent & Harrow. The Greater London Returning Officer has been in touch with the CRO for Brent & Harrow to establish the reason for a delay. All batches of ballot papers were registered and scanned. Two batches went to storage without some ballot papers being manually entered as required. Manual entry is required when a scanner cannot read a ballot paper – for example if a ballot paper is damaged. It is not an issue with the scanners. The issue was identified during the verification stage. These two batches are being re-processed. To make this happen as quickly as possible we have separated out into several smaller batches. This is why the progress screens appear to show a changing number of verified ballot papers.
We will declare as soon as possible but it is obviously important that every vote is counted.
Well we don't entirely know. The latest is that at least two ballot boxes were found unscanned at the Brent count, and they're now being counted by hand, for some reason.
There are rumours that Ken's team has asked for a full recount in Brent, which would delay things for another few hours.
London elects thinks it'll be only another 20 mins, but they've been saying that for nearly two hours.
|@ tnewtondunn : The Sun's pollster Peter Kellner of YouGov calls it - "Boris has won. He has too big a lead for Ken to overturn".
It's leading to a sharp narrowing in the polls between the two candidates. On 1st preference votes Boris now has 44% and Ken 40% - 8 out of 14 constituencies have now declared.
Here's the latest.
People are talking about 50/50 odds between Ken and Boris. The atmosphere at City Hall has changed dramatically in the past half hour.
Ed Miliband, speaking in Southampton, has declared that Labour is "coming back".
This comes after Labour took control of Southampton from the Conservatives.
He railed against the "out of touch government in Westminster".
"David Cameron promised change, not for the better but for the worse. Today in Southampton, it is a rejection of the economic failure of this government, and the unfairness of this government". he added
He also boasted that Labour is "beating back" the SNP in Scotland.
He recognised the low turnouts, saying it showed there was "still more to do".
Conservative MP Peter Bone has said that the PM has 'one hand tied behind his back'.
"Worst of all, we've got the Liberals holding us back" he added
The results signified the "beginning of the end of the coalition", he told the BBC.
"We're seeing Boris winning as a Conservative in London, yet the Coalition losing against Labour. So the message must be let's come out of this coalition as soon as possible." he said
Liam Byrne, who quit the Shadow Cabinet in preparation for running for Birmingham Mayor, has just tweeted this
|@ LiamByrneMP : A huge thanks to ALL who supported Yes2Mayor, Albert and me: our job now is to get 4-square behind our brilliant new Lbr council #brummayor
|@ SmithTonyD : Brum result: Leader 120,611, Mayor 88,085. 57.8 Per cent "no" #BrumVote12
|@ oflynnexpress : Brum votes No to a Mayor. Has anyone noticed people like voting No in refs? No2EU
With 56 of 79 seats declared, Labour currently lead over the SNP by 29 to 20.
Barring a major upset, Labour will resist the SNP advance in Glasgow.
|@ suemacmillan : Labour holding its majority in Glasgow is a whopper of a result. Well done @scottishlabour
|@ JenWilliamsMEN : Ian Stewart is mayor of Salford.
|@ baddogOTM : Labour win CHIPPING NORTON! David Cameron, Rebekah Brooks, Elisabeth Murdoch, Steve Hilton + Jeremy Clarkson now have a LABOUR council.
With 166 of 181 councils declared, Labour have gained more than 700 council seats.
Former Libdem leader Paddy Ashdown has said the Liberal Democrats should "keep on doing" what it is doing.
Speaking to the BBC, Lord Ashdown said the party's mettle has been "tested" by the results.
"The party's mettle has been tested, it has been tested before. We should keep on doing what we're doing" he said
"It doesn't look as bad in terms of hanging onto our seats that we have got as it might have been." he added.
According to the Guardian, Ken Livingstone's team are privately conceding defeat.
They reportedly also think Boris Johnson will increase his majority.
A council candidate dressed as a penguin called Professor Pongoo has received more votes than the Liberal Democrats in Edinburgh.
Professor Pongoo (real name Mike Ferrigan) was an independent candidate who had pledged to wear the penguin outfit to every council meeting if he was elected.
From the votes counted so far, Labour are on 44%, Conservatives are on 33% and the Greens are on 8%.
The LibDems dwell at 7% while Ukip are on 5%.
Harman castigated Watson for his "hold your nose and vote for Ken" comment - and was a bit hesitant to agree that Ken had been the right candidate in the first place...we thought.
Clearly annoyed, Farage has arrived at City Hall and says that the ballot paper fail was UKIP's fault, not London Elects. But he's blaming it on UKIP's poor performance. They're currently trailing in 6th place behind Siobhan Benita
Ukip leader Nigel Farage is reportedly furious that his party's candidate for Mayor of London, Lawrence Webb, was listed on the ballot paper as Fresh Choice for London.
He says it was a 'cockup which undoubtedly cost UKIP votes' and could have helped Boris Johnson's bid for four more years at City Hall.
Also here is a round-up from HuffPost of Tory dissent following the local elections drubbing. A few themes emerge. Many Tories think House of Lords reform is a distraction - a couple but don't like gay marriage, but the overwhelming narrative is there needs to be a growth strategy.
In an update to previous news about the BNP's difficulties, it has emerged that the party has lost every single one of the 12 seats it has been defending.
|@ Kevin_Maguire : Looks like Labour will win London but lose the Mayoralty, getting most votes/seats in the Assembly but Blue Boris beats Red Ken
|@ StewartHosieMP : 16 out of 16 #SNP win outright control of Dundee

Bisate, a rural village in Northwest Rwanda, is located in the volcanic region below Bisoke volcano. The fertile soil and abundant agriculture products in Bisate have attracted many people to live in the area. The Bisate population has greatly increased since the 1970's, with the village currently being the most populated in the volcanic region. However, this growth has decreased the welfare of the population due to problems typically associated with growth such as lack of access to primary health care and clean water. Despite the soil fertility and abundant rainfall, Bisate has suffered from a water scarcity problem for a long time. This water scarcity has increased the usage of contaminated surface water, thus spreading waterborne disease in the village. Women and children, who are traditionally responsible for collecting water, are the most vulnerable to these diseases. They travel long distances seeking runoff water that may have been detained in impermeable rock after a rainfall event. Furthermore, the village is at the altitude of 2500 meters and does not have any spring water. After heavy rainfall, rainwater percolates through cracks and crevices, and the area remains in a continuous shortage of water.
One affordable solution to this problem is to establish a rainwater harvesting system. This system consists of collecting rainwater from the roofs of houses and storing that water in a reservoir for future usage. This system consists of four main parts: a roof for water collection, gutters and pipes to transmit water to the reservoir, a water filter, and a reservoir which has a water tap. The capacity of the reservoir varies depending on the size of the roof, rainfall and the water demand of the people supplied. As a result, the reservoir capacity may vary from one cubic meter to thousands of cubic meters. This rainwater harvesting system is cost effective and can be adapted to low-income populations.
In Bisate village, a number of people have tried this method using local materials. They collect rainwater on the roofs of houses, and drain it into a plastic water tank. However, only a small number of families in Bisate village have such a system. Most of the houses are covered by thatches, which are inadequate roofing material for rainwater collection because they do not allow water to drain effectively. In addition, this type of collection system is susceptible to contaminants like dust, dead birds and trees leaves. The dust, which is deposited on the roof by winds, may contain bacteria carried from areas of poor sanitation with open defecation. Inadequate maintenance of the system can then become another source of waterborne diseases in the community. Therefore, it is also recommended that the water tank always remain covered to reduce the possibility of contamination from these sources.
Further research is needed to develop a rainwater harvesting model that will be affordable for all different types of roofing materials. This will encourage the usage of the system in other remote areas of the world with few surface- and ground-water resources but high rainwater availability.

Building & Contents
When adding or updating a state owned or leased property, please fill out the Building and Contents Form in its entirety and email the form to Nick Witkowski. Please use one form for each new or updated building. All new buildings need to be reported to the State Office of Risk Management at least 60 days prior to taking ownership to allow enough time to notify our insurance company of the addition. In some instances, a property walkthrough may be scheduled with the reporting agency. The building and/or contents information will be input into the risk management information system and assigned a risk building number by the property claims manager. An email will be sent back to the reporting agency's contact with the risk building number.
Once the building and/or contents have been entered into the risk management information system, the building will be considered inactive until our office is notified that the State agency has taken ownership and the property manager will activate the new location. As soon as the building becomes active in the risk management information system, the building and its contents are covered under the State's property insurance.
Reporting ownership of a new building to the Division of State Buildings does not qualify as proper notification of a new state building to the State Office of Risk Management. The reporting agency still needs to fill out the Building and Contents Form in its entirety and email the form to Nick Witkowski.
Providing accurate data will help ensure appropriate coverage for state-owned buildings and/or state- owned contents. Having a complete inventory of state-owned properties ensures a fair premium charge for coverage. Missing, incorrect or under-reported data could result in denial of coverage in the event of a catastrophic loss.

Tiobamba - a village of 2 families
Peru: Sacred Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
We spent the entire day touring the Sacred Valley, which is a valley in the region of Cusco and below Machu Picchu. Our itinerary was to explore some towns and sites in the valley and then spend the night in the town of Ollantaytambo. Ollantaytambo is close to the start of the Inca Trail, which we would begin to hike the next morning.
The scenery in the Sacred Valley was stunning, with great open spaces surrounded by the snowcapped Andes. We drove to a small town called Chinchero and stopped to visit a weaving co-op supported by some families in the town. Everything was made the traditional way. One of the women demonstrated the weaving process, from cutting and washing the wool, to dying and darning it. We then saw a few other women weave the wool. The colors were so vibrant and only natural ingredients were used for the dye, such as flowers, lichen and even special beetles only found in a certain type of cactus. We were able to purchase some sweaters and textiles for extremely reasonable prices (great quality and gifts).
We moved on to walk through the town and stopped to view a small church, which was next to an Inca site. The church seemed so unassuming from the outside, with its whitewashed walls, but once you stepped inside you were hit with beautiful ornate carvings and decoration.
We drove on to stop at a small town called Tiobamba for lunch. This was a very special experience as the town consisted of a beautiful old church set out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a wall which protected the few dogs and 2 families who inhabited the town. Vidal and our driver, Roger, set up lunch at a picnic table in the church yard. Vidal told us that this was intended to be a larger town but it never stuck and now the church opens up a few times a year for special occasions.
We headed off to Maras. Maras is home to the salt terraces fed by a salt water spring coming out of the mountain. Terraces were carved into the side of the mountain where shallow pools form so the water can evaporate and leave behind salt deposits. In the dry season, these deposits are harvested and salt is separated, cleaned, and sold. Unfortunately, Vidal explained that the salt terraces are only 30 to 40% of their peak size because the demand for salt has decreased due to cheaper competition from other sources. Regardless, what is left is amazing and quite a sight to behold.
After Michele confirmed by taste that the salt spring is very salty, Roger headed the van toward the Moray greenhouses. These structures look like terraced concentric circles carved into the earth with each one deeper than the last. As Vidal explained, this area produced various microclimates by terracing down into the earth and also up the neighboring mountain. In addition to figuring out how to make poisonous potatoes edible, the Incas also used Moray to condition their crops to grow at different temperatures, heights, and climates. They would start a crop at the bottom down in the earth and then move it up one level the next growing season. As the stronger plants survived, they moved them up and up until they had maize that was growing at 13,000 feet. Vidal also pointed out that the pattern of the terraces when viewed from above looks like a condor face with weeping eyes.
The last site of the day was in the town of Ollantaytambo. Walking into this site is impressive. You're confronted with walls of terraces rising up the mountain. At the top of the left is the temple. To the right are more walls of terraces and some storage houses. Michele started to count the steps as we were climbing toward the temple but stopped at 166 when we still weren't very close to the top.
The stones for the main temple at Ollantaytambo came from a quarry on the neighboring mountain, traveling down some switchbacks, across a river, and back up the mountain to the temple. After the enormous stones traveled an unimaginable path, they still had to be cut to the right size and polished.
In the temple at Ollantaytambo, Vidal had us put our heads in one of the trapezoidal cutouts in the stone walls and say something so we could hear how perfect the acoustics were in each cutout. A porter had told Vidal that if you put your head in and keep quiet, you can hear the sound of mother Earth.
Michele and I ate dinner at a restaurant in town at the table next to the fireplace where we shared some quinoa soup, quinoa battered trout nuggets, and absolutely delicious stuffed alpaca.

Note: People do not need sexual arousal to be healthy, but in a minority of cases a lack of arousal can be the symptom of a more serious medical condition. If you do not experience sexual arousal or if you suddenly lose interest in sex you should probably check with a doctor just to be safe.
Medical problems are a veriety of things, maybe the description could be more refined, or a fuller description as a pinned topic somewhere, if there is I must of missed it. just an idea

District 13 schools on display for board, public
1 2 Next page >
The District 13 Board of Education and members of the public got an in-depth look at each of the district's four elementary schools last Saturday during the annual facilities tour where potential renovations and upgrades were pointed out and recently completed projects were shown off.
The building principals led the tour at their respective schools, along with Meredith Brosnan, assistant superintendent for business, and James Daly, supervisor of school facilities and operations. Approved changes were discussed during the tour as well as other possible projects that are currently only being talked about among school officials.
The first stop on the tour was outside of Willow Road School where the board got a look at the rusty flagpole that is under consideration to be replaced. The flagpole outside of Howell Road School is in a similar condition, although not quite as worn, according to school officials.
Willow Road School Principal Stephanie Capozzoli led the group into the school's gymnasium, which is on the district's list of rooms, hallways and ceilings that need to be repainted. To repaint the gymnasium's walls and ceiling would cost $25,000, according to estimates.
There are also several doors district officials would like to replace at Willow, including at the main entrance as well as the exit doors by the nurse's office. "They're 50 to 60 years old," Brosnan said of the Willow doors, "and it's time."
The district also plans to move forward with replacing the blacktop at Willow, which is slated to cost $120,000.
The tour then shifted to Howell Road where Principal Frank Huplosky showed the board similar projects for their consideration and ones that were already approved, including painting the walls and ceiling of the gymnasium and replacing the exit doors.
Since enrollment at Howell has declined, a science lab was created in an extra classroom. Huplosky showed the board the new microscopes students are using and trustee Frank Chiachiere even studied some cells.

Help the mouse in the opera house!When the cat's away the mouse will play! Fire bubbles from your trusty cannon to make matches of three or more and clear the board. Big plays give you coins which can be used to purchase more bubbles or extra bonuses. String together big scores for stars that allow access to the higher levels.
1. Bounce and SwapBounce the bubble off the wall for double points. You can swap the bubble in your cannon with the one the mouse is holding by tapping the space bar. Earn extra coins in the Bubble Ring bonus game. Use your coins to buy boosts.
2. Beware the CatsThe black cats are special bubbles that can't be matched or destroyed. Clear the bubbles above the cats to send them tumbling off the screen.
3. Bombs Away!Use the coins you've earned to purchase special bomb bubbles. Select a bomb by clicking on the icon on the left side of the screen, then blast away big chunks of bubbles with one shot!
