8 states lament 'No Child' fallout
The bill for No Child Left Behind is due this school year, but some states don't want to pay.
This is the school year by which the nearly 12-year-old federal education law requires 100 percent of their students must be reading and doing math on grade level. Most states — 42 to be exact, plus the District of Columbia, and a group of eight districts in California — have escaped that rigid target in exchange for others with waivers from the law.
Story Continued Below
But for the remaining eight states, the goal still stands, along with key consequences for schools that repeatedly fall short. The majority of schools in these states will have to keep providing tutors to students at schools that miss the bar, allow students to transfer to other schools or take more extreme measures — and they'll have to do so for an ever-growing number of schools, including some considered high-performing by other measures.
The proportion of schools in California, Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming missing the mark ranges from 17 percent to 74 percent, according to the most recent count available from the U.S. Department of Education.
The agency doesn't have the numbers for the 2012-13 school year, but states show the percentages continued to fall. California dropped from 26 percent of schools making adequate yearly progress in 2011-12 to 14 percent last school year. Failure to meet AYP triggers the transfer and tutoring penalties. Long-term failure can lead to a restructuring of a school's staff or a state or third-party takeover.
Nonwaiver states have been talking for months about an escape route — one that isn't a waiver — as part of an ongoing conversation that culminated with a call in late September to discuss questions they have for the Education Department. Some of the state chiefs don't think the federal government has provided adequate answers about their fates, but they opted against joining forces to say so in a letter.
There may be hope yet for a few of these states: Iowa, Illinois and Wyoming have applied for waivers, though their requests are still languishing at the department. With Congress mired in budget battles, the Education Department has turned into a ghost town. Any advice or workarounds it might have to offer are unavailable, and the shutdown is belaboring the already fast-as-molasses reauthorization of NCLB. New legislation is long overdue.
"I'm not going to hold my breath for Congress to [act], but not having a waiver — that's the system that we live under," said Denise Juneau, Montana's state education chief.
When NCLB was passed, it was heralded for shining a critical light on schools' success, or failure, with several groups of students: those representing minority groups, low-income households, those who are English-language learners and students with disabilities. If even one group fails to meet rigid proficiency requirements determined by standardized testing, an entire school fails to make adequate yearly progress.
Those targets have to hit 100 percent this school year, with some exceptions. NCLB's safe-harbor provision forgives a school for low-proficiency rates from one or more student subgroups when those schools show that students are improving and that the school performed well overall. And a loophole allows schools to get a passing grade even if one or more groups of students aren't hitting the mark if a group of students is relatively small. But those provisions won't save every school.
As of the 2011-12 school year, at least 54 percent of schools nationwide were failing to make AYP, according to Education Department data.
Although they have had more than 10 years to deal with the law's requirements, state budget constraints, a failure to retain teachers in rural areas and a number of other factors have kept the goal at bay, North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler said.

The following tip will naturally set your body angles for maximum rotation and power:
When you place your hands on the club, you "lock your core" in that position. If you grip the club with an open hip line (your pelvis rotated open to the target), you will still be open when you square your stance to your target line and your path will follow your hip line the majority of the time. The following videos will show you when to place your hands on the club. Note: If your left and/or right hand grip size is incorrect for your hands, your core will respond to that by tightening on one side and creating right or left rotation of your hips.

What does it mean to love your neighbour when that neighbour may be on the other side of the world? When we think of national sovereignty what do we mean? What role is there for supranational bodies such as the European Union, and those based on cooperation such as the G20? And how often is our reluctance to work with other countries based on our depth of understanding of our differences as opposed to our similarities?
The Evangelical Alliance works with a range of member organisations which help Christians think, pray and act on international issues. These will range from large international development charities such as Tearfund and World Vision to small and specific charities that often work in a particular country. It also includes those organisations that champion the cause of religious freedom, often highlighting cases of Christians suffering persecution because of their beliefs.

Another co-defendant in the robbery of a Speedway in Plain Township was sentenced Wednesday in Stark County Common Pleas Court.
Another co-defendant in a Speedway robbery in Plain Township was sentenced Wednesday to probation in Stark County Common Pleas Court.
Robert A. Sturm-Tamez, 18, of Lake Township, had already pleaded guilty to complicity to robbery.
Judge Curt Werren told Sturm-Tamez that a five-year prison sentence can be imposed if he violates probation.
The other co-defendants — Devon J. Foresha, 19, of Plain Township, Brandon T. Ricchiuti-Baker, 21, of Plain Township, Matthew P. Dine, 19, of Plain Township, and Douglas Lones, 19, of Plain Township — previously pleaded guilty to robbery-related charges, and were also sentenced to probation with various conditions. Restitution also was ordered in each case.
Werren told Sturm-Tamez that he was young enough to make a complete change in his life. Sturm-Tamez told the judge he had to cancel plans to attend college in Texas because of the criminal case.
According to court records, the five young men participated in the robbery of the Speedway gas station and store at 2570 Easton St. NE in late May.
Lones showed a firearm when he and Dine robbed the Speedway of $113, according to Stark County Jail records.
Sturm-Tamez, Foresha and Ricchiuti-Baker either provided the firearm, transportation or otherwise assisted Lones and Dine in the crime, according to court records.
Foresha has pleaded guilty to complicity to robbery. Lones and Dine both pleaded guilty to robbery. Ricchiuti-Baker pleaded guilty to obstructing justice.
As part of Ricchiuti-Baker's sentence, probation includes the CHANCE treatment program. Lones and Dine both were sentenced to three years of probation and referred to the Stark Regional Community Correctional Center. They also were given 200 hours of community service and both face a five-year prison sentence if probation is violated.

Are your references really that important in the hiring process? In a word - absolutely. Unfortunately, professional references are perhaps the most overlooked and underutilized tool in most people's employment arsenal.
If you're not using your references to your best advantage, you may be making an inadvertent error in your search for new employment. An excellent resume may get your foot in the door for an interview, but it's your references that will likely "seal the deal" and get you the actual job offer.
So ask yourself: Will the list of job references I have created ensure that stellar new job offer?

As I explained in my last column, I do quite a bit of reading to stay up-do-date with the content and social media marketing fields. There is so much great content about content marketing, and I often link to articles and cite experts. Usually, I just add a few words to relate the article to the topic du jour. It occurred to me that readers might appreciate more of a deep dive into some of the important works in the field. So I thought that I would include a rundown of the top pieces of content that I have found to be extremely helpful, and takeaways for each. The works mentioned below cover a variety of areas, are in diverse formats, and most if not all function as content marketing in their own right. They are all great content marketing resources.
Winning the Zero Moment of Truth
One that has been getting lots of attention – and is a great piece of content marketing too – is Google's Winning the Zero Moment of Truth, a free, downloadable e-book.
The phrase "moment of truth" is a familiar one in marketing and customer service circles. It refers to the experiences that we have with products, companies and brands at different stages: pre-purchase, during the sale and beyond.
Here, Google refers to a new moment of truth – the Zero, or ZMOT. As the eBook says:
ZMOT is that moment when you grab your laptop, mobile phone or some other wired device and start learning about a product or service… you're thinking about trying or buying.
The concept is important because it says something about how the purchasing process is changing, becoming more information and consumer-driven, ground that was also covered by the article The Death of the Purchase Funnel, in Media Post. This in turn points to the need to bring Web, social media and content strategies in line.
It is a manifesto, 75 pages that explain the trend, provides supporting data and practical tips in terms of how to identify the ZMOTs for your area.
Favorite excerpt:
You have to adjust your content for all three traditional parts of the conversation: paid, owned and earned. And… a fourth: shared.
Paid is the advertising and media you drive and pay for yourself… Owned is the assets your company controls that you can use to promote and reinforce your brand… Earned takes us back to the ratings and reviews and social media …
Shared is areas you may not control directly but where your brand can be featured and promoted….
This is where ZMOT can help you really make an impact… Are you paying attention to how customers pass your message among themselves? Are you creating engaging and sharable content yourself?
Content Marketing Playbook
Another one of the great content marketing resources is the Content Marketing Playbook, by Junta 42 (now Content Marketing Institute, or CMI). It is an exhaustive list of the many forms of content marketing (the subheading is "42 Ways to Connect with Customers"). The usual suspects are there, sure: it mentions white papers, case studies, blogs, Webinars, and newsletters.
But what about Screencasts? Branded Content tool, anyone? The guide covers hard copy forms, like books and custom print magazines, online tools like widgets, and some that you might not even think of as content marketing – such as mobile apps.
It is nothing short of remarkable, the variety of tools we have at our disposal today. It can be a bit daunting too, as some may be unfamiliar, take time to master, and be more elaborate and expensive to produce. But don't fret the – guide starts with the inspirational words:
You'll find a smorgasbord of content options: long and short, textual and visual, simple and sophisticated. The idea is not to present a comprehensive review; content marketing is too big and evolving too quickly for a "definitive" summary.
The goal, rather, is to open our minds to the possibilities. To explore, ponder, imagine and daydream. Then, once inspired, to take action… the key take-away from The Content Marketing Playbook: perfection isn't necessary. Don't delay participation in anticipation of a future day when you'll be able to get everything "right." Instead, dive in now. You have 42 excellent choices in front of you.
It helps by explaining what each is, where it makes sense to use them and their ins and outs. It also cites examples and includes links to additional resources.
The Playbook is several years old, so it does not get into the new forms of content display and storytelling made possible by tablets, content curation and Web-based tools like Storify. Still, it is an indispensable guide; perhaps the folks at CMI will provide an updated version (hint hint).
Grande Guide to B2B Content Marketing
Another piece of great content about content marketing that is content marketing too (boy this is getting redundant, repetitive and self referential) is Eloqua's Grande Guide to B2B Content Marketing. The nice folks at marketing automation vendor Eloqua published it, and why not since their software is relevant to the topic (it is co-authored by CMI's Joe Pulizzi)?
As the name implies, this Slideshare guide has a B2B bent, and is a nice primer, covering everything from definitions, examples, best practices to measurement, and lets you know what to expect from various types of content marketing, in 15 slides.
Favorite Excerpt:
Businesses that succeed in developing timely, relevant, non-promotional content reach potential buyers both directly and through the most persuasive channel of all: word of mouth. Exceptional content, like remarkable products, induces conversations and incites sharing… researchers determined that word of mouth to be the single most influential factor in driving purchases (Experian Simmons), underscoring the need to create content that spurs conversation
Content marketing doesn't end at "awareness" or "buzz." Companies that develop compelling content through all stages of the buying cycle are more effective at nurturing leads, acquiring customers and reducing churn. Although content marketing remains a cottage industry, [it] is maturing and becoming more interesting. Thought leaders like Seth Godin have concluded that content marketing is "all the marketing that's left."
The Grande Guide also includes suggestions for how to overcome common obstacles, and lists events and additional resources at the end.
Beginner's Guide to Content Marketing
The KISSmetrics Beginner's Guide to Content Marketing is a good cheat sheet as it is on the shorter side of these content marketing resources, but still has some very useful tips for the novice, and examples for both B2B and B2C.
One case study is Copyblogger; here is an excerpt from the article:
Copyblogger is considered the premier example of successful content marketing. They provide daily, world-class internet marketing tips for customers via their blog. Instead of grabbing customers' attention with ads, they create blog content that is valuable to their audience, in exchange for attention and the opportunity to market products at opportune times.
Favorite excerpt: Ways to get more out of your content marketing effort (abbreviated below, please visit the article to get all of the details):
- Provide content that your customers' want: A lot of people make the mistake of writing their blog about their business. That's a problem because customers don't care about you, they care about themselves.
- Write cornerstone content: Cornerstone content is content that can be categorized and archived in a way that's easy for customers to find. It's also content that provides incredible value to customers over a long period of time.
- Use other sites to find out what kind of content people want: Sometimes it's hard to know what people want to read about. One way to find this out is to visit sites within your industry…Do some research to find out what kind of post are popular in your industry and write that type of content.
Coca Cola's Content 2020
The above content marketing resources all serve as content marketing for companies that in some ways touch the field. But why would a consumer product company invest so heavily in content marketing, or produce content about the same for marketers?
You can find out by reading Jeff Bullas' blog, which explains Coca Cola's Content 2020 initiative (something that I first learned about at the Post-Advertising Summit earlier this year; here's my wrap, which includes links for great resources). This excerpt is from Jeff Bullas:
Recently [Coca Cola realized] that their marketing strategy… needed to evolve… they are moving from "Creative Excellence" to "Content Excellence"… Content for Coca Cola is now the "Matter" and "Substance" of "Brand Engagement." So what can we learn from Coca Cola's new marketing strategy?
Lesson 1: Create Liquid Content
Lesson 2: Ensure your Content is Linked
Lesson 3: Create Conversations
Lesson 4: Move onto Dynamic Story Telling
CMI also wrote about the initiative in their post Coca Cola Bets the Farm on Content Marketing. It includes two embedded videos from YouTube, produced by Coca Cola, which lay out their strategy, and these words of description:
In the beginning, the claim is made that Coca-Cola must create the world's most compelling content. Toward the end, the comment is made that Coca-Cola can no longer rely on being 30-Second-TV-Centric.
The videos are so good, that they are an appropriate conclusion to this post that you should watch below:

[vsw id="fiwIq-8GWA8″ source="youtube" width="640″ height="385″ autoplay="no"]
There are so many great content marketing resources that it is hard to pick out the very best; I am sure that I must have missed some – which ones do you like?

Difference between revisions of "Roatan"
Revision as of 07:17, 6 February 2018
Roatán is one of the Honduras Bay Islands in the Caribbean Sea.
The island of Roatan is located 30 miles off the north coast of Honduras atop the worlds second largest coral reef. The reef attracts many fish, and is world known for scuba diving. Roatan is the largest of the Bay Islands at about 77 kilometres (48 mi) long, and less than 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) at its widest. The island has a number of beaches, all of which are public. Originally an English colony, and later ceded to Honduras, Roatan has a mixture of english and spanish speaking natives. With two cruise ship ports, Roatan has become a cruise destination, and roads and beaches can be busy when ships are in port. Prices for services may be higher when a ship is in. In recent years the island has experienced a lot of development and has a number of resorts along with more rustic accommodation as well. The western side of the island is the most populated and where most tourists stay, and the eastern side is more remote and isolated. Roatan has a warm climate with daytime temperatures between 80-90 year round.
Get in
By plane
Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Manuel Gálvez) (IATA: RTB, ICAO: MHRO) is on the island of Roatán. Several US airlines offer non-stop flights to Roatan on weekends.
American, Delta and Continental offer flights to San Pedro Sula's's Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Ramón Villeda Morales) (IATA:SAP, ICAO:MHLM), also known as La Mesa International Airport situated on the mainland, from which you can then get connecting services to Roatan.
Avianca, a group of five regional airlines, offers service from Miami, Orlando, Chicago, Dallas, Toronto, Houston, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC with connecting service to Roatan, including mid-week flights, plus flights from elsewhere in Central America.
There are also local airlines such as SOSA, CM Airlines, air viva and Isleña (part of Avianca's regional service) connecting the island with La Ceiba, San Pedro Sula, and Tegucigalpa. Prices are all over the map due to fuel costs and inflation, but usually average in at about US$200 for a flight from Tegucigalpa-Toncontin to Roatan
Flights to Roatan from Europe, Madrid to San Pedro Sula (SPS) with Air Europa. From there several airlines have connecting flights to Roatan. See: Honduras gets a direct link to Europe from Madrid [47]
Airlines and destinations
By boat
The island is visited by a number of cruise lines, such as Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
There are two cruise ship ports, Port of Roatan in Coxen Hole, and Mahogany Bay outside of French Harbor. Mahogany Bay has an onsite beach, shops, and activities such as zipline, so cruise visitors don't have to experience the rest of the island. The beach is nice and the setting amazingly surreal, with 2 rusting shipwrecks within view. Cruises also port in Coxen Hole.
By ferry
The Galaxy Wave [48] is a modern catamaran ferry that travels to/from the Muelle de Cabotaje port in La Ceiba, east of the city centre on the Honduras Mainland; Galaxy Wave is currently (June '15) the only ferry option to Roatan. The ferry is fast, clean, comfortable, and reliable. It departs from La Ceiba twice daily, once in the morning at 09:30 and once in the afternoon at 16:30. Departure times from Dixon Cove, Roatan are at 07:00 and 14:00. The journey lasts about 70 minutes. As of June 2015 the regular-class cost is 729 Lempiras (33.50 USD) from La Ceiba to Roatan and 705 Lempiras (32.40 USD) from Roatan to La Ceiba; there is no discount for buying a return and prices reflect a 13.5% price increase from the year before.
The former catamaran service by Captain Vern that provided direct ferry service between West End, Roatan and Utila is no longer operating.
The Utila Dream now provides ferry services between Roatan to Utila once a day at 10:45am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Afternoon boats can be more rough due to stronger winds. Make sure to take some travel sickness pills if you are unsure how you will react. The trip from La Ceiba to Roatan can be rougher than the return trip, some locals fly from the mainland to Roatan, but will take the ferry from the island to the mainland.
Charter boat
Another option is to charter a boat from one of the locals. Normally the best way to go about this is to approach one of the dive schools as they normally aren't using their boats in the afternoons. Find other travellers who want to do the same and go in a group of 4 or 6.
Get around
Roatán has a system of paved roads connecting the most important communities of the Island. From the Western End of the Island, at the community of West Bay, the road leads through West End, Sandy Bay, Coxen Hole, Brick Bay, Mount Pleasant, French Harbour and Oakridge - Punta Gorda after which it becomes a dirt road and continues east for a distance, to the area of Paya Bay, Camp Bay, Port Royal, and other eastern communities.
Buses run every 15 min between Coxen Hole and West End during the day. They depart from opposite the market in Coxan Hole. Buses run every hour to Oak Ridge, stopping at the new ferry terminal and passing through French Harbour, Polly Tilly Bight, and Punta Gorda on the way. These buses leave from opposite the HB Warren supermarket in Coxen Hole.
There are hundreds of taxis and they can be bargained with. But ask the price in advance and if it seems high, ask another. Even if you agree on the price make sure you have the exact amount of the fare as some corrupt taxi drivers do not give back your change. Many taxies are "colectivo" or shared and will be stopping along the way. Prices from the airport are fixed during the day and negotiable at night. A cab from the airport to West Bay is US$25. Tipping is not expected by drivers. If you are looking for contact details for a reputable taxi driver during your stay, the roatan taxi directory is a community contributed list of drivers with ratings from other travelers. Taking a taxi with a reliable driver is highly recommended.
Water Taxi
There are water taxis during daylight that link West Bay and West End for US$3 per person 1 way. Wait on the end of a dock, and flag them down.
Renting scooters is an efficient way to see different areas of the island. The rental agencies will happily provide you with detailed maps and explanations on how to best see the island. Scooter rentals can be found on the main road in West End and West Bay. The daily rent is between USD25-35. As a guarantee against accidents agencies will want to swipe your credit card. Be careful as the roads have no shoulder and local drivers stop in the middle of the road, and may pass on curves. Expect poor road quality with potholes. Speed bumpers are also abound.
English, Spanish, Garifuna.
English is widely spoken, especially in the West End and West Bay communities and is the native language of many Roatanians of British and African descent (except for the Garifuna). Spanish is spoken natively by most residents and is the second language of many of the native English speakers. Spanish is the official language of Honduras and as such is the primary language of the school system. Garifuna is spoken by the Garifuna people who are descendants of the Kalipuna peoples of St. Vincent. There is also 'Island Talk' spoken by the native Caribbean people.
Many individuals living on Roatan are bilingual (English/Spanish).
Santa Helena located in Roatans municipal of Santos Guardiola, is a small secluded island 12 miles further east of Roatan. This off 'the beaten path' beautiful tropical paradise is a one mile by two mile island that is sparsely populated with indigenous people that still live life as it was in the 'Old Caribbean', unspoiled and uncommercialized from tourist related development, without electricity or government subsidised infrastructure. St. Helene is the epitome of a 'sleepy little fishing village'. Access to Helene is by private boat or passenger ferry service from Oak Ridge.
Roatan is known for its Scuba Diving. There are many dive shops all over the island, but the majority are located on the west side.
Fishing/Boat Charters
The fishing is good just off the reef in Roatan. Marlin, Barricuda, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and much more can be caught in these waters.
There is great snorkeling and diving to be found here and many dive shops to go out with and some people like to dive with the Dolphins at Anthony's Key
If you are a good swimmer, and keep an eye out for motorboats, you can swim straight out from west end towards the white buoys for about 200 m, you will arrive at a 10-30 ft deep reef that is great for snorkeling and freediving. Slightly further out the reef gets much deeper and you hit the wall.
You can walk along the beach to West Bay from West End in about 45 min, and can take a water taxi back if you like. They seem to stop running around sunset unfortunately, so make sure to catch them before it is too late. Parts of this walk are remote, so it's best to travel in a group.
Horseback riding
The local currency is the Lempira, but US dollars are accepted in almost all shops and restaurants, however, your change is mostly given in Honduran Lempiras, and the exchange rate varies from in each shop.
Local handicrafts abound and can be had for very little money. Look for Central American arts and crafts, brightly-painted pottery, wood carvings, costume jewelry, tee-shirts, cigars and clothing. Remember that the asking price should only be considered a jumping-off point for some downward haggling. It's expected and if you have the stomach for it, you'll likely end up with a final price somewhere around 40-50% lower.
West End has many gift shops. There are many tourist shops where you can buy t-shirts, hats, swim-ware, etc.
If you're in West Bay, there are also shopping options available.
There are many great places to eat on Roatan, with the highest concentration of restaurants located in West End and West Bay. You can find traditional island food as well as delicious "north american" offerings, and seafood abounds - you can find top quality lobster for dinner for around US$15.
Roatan boasts a wide array of experiences for night life depending on your taste. Since the arrival of cruise ships, prices have risen somewhat and restaurants and bars cater to cruise passengers as well as North American and European tourists. These types of establishments are relatively easy to find as they are mostly located in and around the West End. Prices here are generally higher than in most other places on the island.
The best part about drinking in the west end is the pub crawl that occurs almost every night. Its virtually mandatory to start at Sundowners and enjoy drinks whilst watching the sun go down over the beautiful bay in front. When Sundowners shuts at 10PM the whole bar shifts about 50 m down the street to kick on at the Purple Turtle where you can enjoy live music out the back. The Purple Turtle closes at midnight and from here most people continue on to the Nova Bar or the Twisted Toucan's will be the joint to party at and where you will meet most of the locals in the region this being a favorite haunt. Most people go home from here but if you really are feeling like an adventure grab a group of friends and head down the beach to FuBar.
There are excellent accommodations ranging from US$4-$400 per night. Condos are available as are beach cabanas.

I have something truly extraordinary for you today. As you know this Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series brings you interviews and chats with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world.
Today, we add to this chorus of voices one that is rarely heard in public. I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to my special guest. She is a working girl; ya know a lady of the evening, a trollop, a whore, a street-walker, an escort, a courtesan, a pro, a ho, a prostitute, a hooker. In fact, my guest is the one and only Modern Hooker.
She is an actual sex worker currently plying her trade here in the good old US of A. But for obvious reasons, her true identity must remain hidden. Despite that, her perspective is extremely valuable. Modern Hooker is also an activist, a poet, an educator, and the author of a kick-ass comic strip called, aptly enough, Modern Hooker. She's here to help us dispel some of the myths and misconceptions of sex work and she does so with a wicked sense of humor. You don't want to miss a moment of this, sex fans!
Modern Hooker and I discuss:
- How she got into the business.
- The sex workers rights movement.
- Being an advocate/activist — SWOPUSA
- Client oriented sex.
- Her fetish clients.
Be sure to visit Modern Hooker at her fabulous blog HERE! You can also find her brilliantly biting comic strip on CarnalNation HERE!

If there was ever a post to fall under my geek out section, this definitely makes it into the top three (so does this one). On Saturday, John and Sherry of Young House Love came to the Dallas West Elm for a signing of their brand new book Young House Love, 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update & Show Your House Some Love. I would highly recommend it, their book already has pushed me to complete a few loose DIY ends at my own house, and has given me some great ideas for new projects for the future.

Jewish Princess Melissa is my name and being a Spoiled J.A.P is my game. I am a hot young 100% Authentic Jewish American Princess, I'm a bitchy, spoiled, gold digging Jewish female; Raised in a wealthy household with a Dominant Diva in Manhattan, Then moved to California only to become a Valley girl J.A.P. I'm selfish, high-maintenance to the point of sheer insanity, stuck-up, deemed the most desirable by all the boys! I may seem to be superficial but I'm actually quite intelligent and very educated. Did I mention Super cool. Don't ask me if I have a job..... I'm a full time J.A.P. My job is to take your money and leave you high and dry.
What makes me the brattiest Jewish Princess of all time?
Let's check out the statistics. Teachers lost their jobs just *trying* to date me. My rich-ass pop's friends blew million-dollar contracts on their knees in my rec room, pleading for my attention. Why? Because I'm the girl you can't say no to--and the girl who says nothing but NO to you. Maybe I remind your of cold, controlling bitch-- or the rich girl in college who snickered at your attempts to "hang out some time." Whatever, like I give a fuck: bottom line is, without a Benz, an Amex Black Card, and some serious real estate, you can lick the stinky cheesy toe jam out of my princess feet--as if I would even let you. Kneel down to kiss my fine, firm, bouncy, gravity-defiant ass and guess what happens: you're gonna see your reflection in it--the picture of a needy, trembly, helpless, broke, ugly, stupid, hundred-proof loser ASS...that is to say: You.

Demand Media's freelance writers are up in arms after Demand Media decided to slim the number of writing assignments it offers.
The company once known strictly as a "content farm," is cleaning up is content, with a stronger emphasis on high-quality writing from knowledgeable authors.
This is a smart strategy because relying solely on SEO-gaming articles has its limitations.
But, as with any transition there are going to be casualties.
And as we reported last week, those casualties are Demand's army of freelancers who will have fewer assignments.
When we detailed some of those changes, Demand's chief revenue officer Joanne Bradford told us "It's still one of the largest pools of writing assignments available in the world. We don't feel like it's that dramatic of a change because it's not like every assignment was being taken."
Shortly after our story ran, we heard from one of Demand's writers. Bradford's quote was "hilarious to those of us who are still working for [Demand Studios]. As of Oct. 8th, 7:34pm, there are 278 articles available in the writing queue; prior to the email the number was around 40,000. This isn't simply about deleting titles that were considered low-quality, and there were plenty of them, the site has essentially shut down."
From another freelancer: "The ~650 titles or so that I referenced in my last email are down to just about 39 as I write this email. I guess the largest pool of writing assignments on the internet is limited to that."
We gave Bradford a chance to respond. She reiterated what she said last week. The general How-To articles have been reduced, but there are more assignments in specialized verticals that pay better, such as autos and home and garden.
"The folks that are more generalists and have written the short-form how-to articles are finding less assignments. This goes hand-in-hand with our quality improvement and focus on using people who have expertise about the topics they write about," said Bradford.
One disgruntled writer complained that Demand hasn't been clear about its intentions to cut back.
"The reduction in the number of stories available actually started somewhere around last May," one writer told us. "First, they told us that nothing at all had changed, that basically we were imagining things. Then they said they'd found a small technical glitch that was causing stories to somehow get stuck in the pipeline. It's clear now that they were lying the whole time."
Bradford disagrees.
"I think we've been pretty clear to our writers about the reduction in the articles in the changes in qualifications," she said. "I don't always think that they understand the impact to individuals. I think that those individuals speak out. The people who are the most dissatisfied speak out the most often."

Any sane Warrior fan
Not smart to trade a top 10 PF for a bunch of backups. Remember, that's how we acquired Lee lol. So what's Anthony Randolph, Turiaf, and Azubuike up to these days? also can't stand Tyler Hansbrough. He'd be a bank teller if he wasn't born big and tall. Dude has zero basketball skills except playing the sport like it's football or running of the bull and hustling for rebs.
So beautifully said.
The best way for an aspiring contender to get better is to look for those cheap trades and/or FA pickups. As an example, if Toronto gets real desperate to trade Lowry, maybe the team can get him for Douglas and a future 2nd rounder. I'd take that.
Speights has been pretty awful, but he could be tradeable for another big. It is just looking for the right trade.
It's still early.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. announced it closed a $16.5 million Series C private equity financing, began enrolling patients in a U.S. clinical trial, received CE Mark approval and had weight loss data presented at the IFSO European Congress (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders).
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic. Although bariatric surgery has demonstrated strong weight loss results, the surgeries are costly, irreversible and used in less than 1% of the eligible population. Physicians, patients and payers all agree there is a compelling need for new products and technologies to address this gap.
Obalon is developing a novel, nonsurgical, fully-reversible device for weight loss. The device consists of a capsule containing a balloon that is swallowed and then remotely inflated. The balloon is intended to occupy space in the stomach to create a feeling of fullness to help people eat less. Additional balloons can be swallowed and inflated during the treatment period as indicated for weight loss. At the end of the treatment period, the balloons are removed.
Clinical trial results reported by Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the IFSO European Congress this year showed 34% excess weight loss in a three-month study in Mexico. Dr. Ortiz also announced preliminary results of approximately 45% excess weight loss in a similar European study.
Obalon received IDE approval from the FDA and has begun enrolling its first clinical study in the U.S. to begin evaluating the safety and efficacy of the device. This was Obalon's first submission to the FDA for a trial in the U.S. The Company has completed four clinical trials outside the U.S.
The Company has received CE Mark approval for the Obalon Gastric Balloon System to allow commercial sales in the European Union. Obalon expects to begin initial commercial distribution in Europe this summer. In the U.S., the device is not commercially available and is only being studied in clinical trials as investigational device.
InterWest Partners (Menlo Park, California) led the $16.5 million Series C financing with previous investors, Domain Associates (Princeton, New Jersey) and Okapi Venture Capital (Laguna Beach, California), also participating.
About Obalon
Obalon is a private medical technology company based in San Diego, California focused on developing innovative, high-quality gastric balloon technology for weight loss therapy. www.obalon.com.

Great Entry Into the Luxury Market
By Woozard44 on Friday, June 03, 2016My wife and I traded in our 2007 Ford Edge for a 2016 XC60 R-Design Polestar. We looked at many other vehicles including the BMW x1, Volvo v60, Mercedes GLA, Lincoln MKC. To date, we could not be happier with our decision. The vehicle normally makes about 300 hp, but with the Polestar update it gets 325 HP and 350 lbft. It is much quicker than anything else we looked at. It is true that the infotainment system is dated, but in reality the number pad system is something you can use with your eyes on the road and is an interface most are used to and is simple to operate. The seats and leather are soft and comfortable and I have not noticed any quality issues yet. The car is no M or AMG, but it is exciting to see what Polestar can do with just a simple tune; I would imagine that their future with volvo is bright. The springs are a bit softer than I would like but firm enough to allow spirited driving without being crashy like the German competition. Based on reviews, I was worried about gas mileage but we are averaging around 22 with a lot of around town operation, on an engine that really hasn't been broken in yet, which is better than I expected. The luxury establishment (BMW, Mercedes) has its hold on peoples opinions but their entry levels are underpowered, loud and cheaply made once you really examine the interior quality. Out the door, the XC60 was significantly less than a used 2016 X1, despite being larger, faster and having more options. People really need to avert their eyes from the German manufacturers glare and look elsewhere. The domestics and lesser known european brands are making some hugely competitive vehicles.

awesome SUV!!!
By Lisa on Sunday, May 22, 2016I have aways wanted a Volvo and purchased the XC-60 AWD a year ago. Love, love, love it and recommend to anyone looking for an SUV. The safety especially in rainy weather is amazing. I feel so confident in heavy rains due to traction control, handling and weight of the SUV. During a recent ice/snow storm, yes in North Carolina, my husband drive it and there were no problems what so ever. We are getting ready to purchase a Volvo Sedan S60. Great on trips, love the confidence and reliability.

By Cynicalman on Thursday, December 22, 2011Just recently took deliver of XC60 with AWD, Climate Package, Premium Plus and Technology Package. So far the best car I ever purchased and I have purchased many. That might not be saying much because the 1st car I purchased was a 1971 Fiat 128, which came standard with rust. I think the Technology package is a must buy. It provides Adaptive Cruse Control which is fantastic. I don't think I can ever purchase another vehicle with Adaptive Cruse Control. Driver Alert System (weaving in your lane of traffic) and Lane Departure Warning, (drifting into the next lane) work great. I didn't realize how bad a driver I am. The Turning Radius is unbelievable. Three small complaints: Unless you purchase the Navigation system you do not have voice activated Bluetooth. (I did not know that). Make sure the car is equipped with Navigation Prep so you can add the Navigation system. (Good advise from my salesman) For some reason the Pre-Sets stations for the Sirius radio do not function off of the STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, unless you block all of the other Sirius stations. No front fog lights

Pat'e Palo is a great Santo Domingo restaurant! One of my favorites. It's in the heart of the Colonial Zone on Plaza Espana - the big square opposite Alcazar de Colon (the oldest building in the Americas). They often hold music or cultural events on the square. The food and service here are top notch. You can eat outside on their terrace overlooking the Plaza Espana.

Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Christian M. Connell
posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 11:58 am
I would appreciate your guidance for a cross-sectional LCA I am running on data for 1200 adolescents. I identified a 4-class solution with 6 binary substance use indicators and regressed class membership on risk/protective factors of interest. I have one class fixed as a "no use" class. Fit indices, etc. all appeared to be OK. The 1200 youth are nested within 10 schools, so I modified my analyses to incorporate this structure based on ex. 10.3.
My problem is that I am getting a fairly extensive warning indiating:
1) standard errors for the parameter estimates may not be trustworthy due to a non-positive definite first-order derivative product matrix and potential model non-identification relating to a particular parameter (11); and
2) An indication that nonidentification may be due to having more parameters than the number of clusters and a suggestion to reduce parameters.
How do I resolve the problems related to a particular parameter (since my starting values are based on a successful model where the nested structure was ignored). Also, does reducing parameters mean dropping risk/protection factors from my regression model b/c I don't have enough schools to test the nesting effect? Is there a more appropriate way to address the nesting, given that I really just want to correct my estimates but am not examining Level-2 effects on the model directly?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Sunday, October 01, 2006 - 12:11 pm
The error message refers to parameter 11 because you have only 10 clusters - the standard errors are evaluated based on the number of independent observations which are the 10 clusters. With only 10 clusters, the standard error calculations are not trustworthy - as in regular multilevel modeling you need at least 20 and preferrably 30-50. This is true for both TYPE=TWOLEVEL and TYPE=COMPLEX. It's hard to say what to do in such situations - you might instead use school as a fixed effect, using 9 dummy variables as IVs.

Thank you for the response -- another question related to these analyses.
I am using the classes as DVs in a logit regression model (to assess predictors of membership). Is it also possible to use the classes as IVs for another set of variables in the same set of analyses (i.e., some variables predict class membership and class membership predicts another set of continuous variables). An alterative is to export the class membership probabilities and then run an ANOVA to see if groups differ on current frequency of use, but I'm thinking it would be more efficient to estimate these relationships simultaneously, if possible.
Thank you,
Bengt O. Muthen

Yes, you can have the class variable both being influenced by and influencing other variables. For the latter (distal outcome case), note that you don't say e.g. "y on c#", but c influencing a continuous y is handled by the y means changing over the c classes (by default). See the UG ex8.6 where the distal is categorical (u).

A couple of brief follow-ups:
1) I'm not sure I see the regression of class membership on u in examine 8.6 -- is there something I am missing in the code?
2) I added the following statement to my model: "daysalc on c#1-c#3;" in an effort to model membership on the continous outcome (in this case days using alcohol), but get a number of warnings including
"Variable is uncorrelated with all other variables within class" and
"One or more MODEL statements were ignored. These statements may be incorrect or are only supported by ALGORITHM=INTEGRATION."
Introducing integration did not produce any better results. Also, since class 4 is a "zero-use" group -- is it possible to exclude them from this subsequent step (since I know their use frequency is 0)?

Sorry -- I just re-read your post and the example, again, more closely. Basically, it looks like these continuous indicators would be treated as variables in the LCA, and I would assess mean differences across classes. Of course, this changes the "meaning" of the classes, since they now incorporate a continous indicator (i.e., there may be heterogeneity in the way the continous indicator operates within classes -- and different class structures may be required).

European Commission
Press Release
Brussels, 25 September 2012
EU Farm subsidies: the Commission intends to increase aid transparency
The Commission has today adopted a proposal designed to apply new rules with regard to the publication of information on the beneficiaries of European agricultural funds. This legislative review has been prompted by a 2010 judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) which invalidated part of Commission Regulation (EC) 259/2008, particularly as regards the publication of information on individual beneficiaries of the agricultural funds. Today's proposal takes into account the legal constraints inherent to the protection of personal data by setting certain limits upon the publication of individual names and by asking Member States to publish more detailed information, particularly on the type of aid and the description of the measures for which the funds have been allocated.
'At a time when many Member States' national budgets are being squeezed, I consider it vital to inform citizens how the aid from the Union's Common Agricultural Policy is being spent,' stated Commissioner Dacian Cioloş, on the day the Commission adopted the new Transparency Regulation.
This revision of the regulations on transparency aims to reconcile the need for transparency with that for the protection of personal data. It follows an ECJ judgment which, on 9 November 2010, had partially invalidated the regulations on transparency in the agricultural sector, particularly as regards the publication of information on individual beneficiaries.
As a result of that judgment, the Commission immediately on 10 November 2010 asked Member States to suspend the publication of data relating to individuals. It also adapted the implementing Regulation in April 2011 with a view to limiting the publication of data on beneficiaries to legal persons only, pending the adoption of a new Regulation.
The new rules adopted today by the Commission take the Court's objections into account and differ from those the Court had invalidated in that:
Introducing a threshold in no way detracts from the completeness of the information provided.
The most recent Eurobarometer survey dating from 2011 shows that 62% of citizens are in favour of publishing information on the beneficiaries of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments, while only 22% are against.

Obama on U.S. gun violence: 'We should be ashamed'
In the wake of a shooting Tuesday morning at an Oregon high school, President Barack Obama spoke passionately about the need for gun control legislation while participating in a Tumblr question-and-answer session about college affordability.
"We're the only developed country on Earth where this happens, and it happens now once a week," Obama said.
"The fact that 20 6-year-olds were gunned down in the most violent fashion and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me," Obama added, referencing the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. "The only thing that's going to change is public opinion. If public opinion does not demand change in Congress, it will not change."
In an event billed as a push for college affordability, Obama answered questions on a live stream on the White House's Tumblr account alongside Tumblr CEO David Karp, 27, who asked the president about a dozen questions in the hour-long event.
Obama talked about his empathy for Richard Martinez, whose son was killed in a shooting at the University of California, Santa Barbara, late last month. The president said gun violence in the United States is "off the charts," but that passing legislation through Congress to restrict who purchases guns is "not even possible."
"We should be ashamed of that," Obama said.
"A lot of people will say this is a mental health problem," Obama added. "The U.S. does not have a monopoly on crazy people. It's not the only country that has psychosis and yet we kill each other in these mass shootings."
Preceding the event, thousands submitted questions to a Tumblr online account created for the event called "ObamaIRL" _ the last three letters stand for "in real life" _ through 5 p.m. Eastern time Monday when the forum closed. Amid a weeklong push to reduce student debt, Obama also answered questions about the price of college and merit of college.
The White House's Council of Economic Advisers and Domestic Policy released a report on Tuesday that highlighted the benefits of a college education _ among them an average $28,300 higher income for individuals than those workers with just a high school diploma, and a lower unemployment rate for college grads _ 4 percent, compared with 8 percent among high school graduates.
"It continues to be a very smart investment for you to go to college," Obama said. "There are very few jobs now where you're not going to need some advanced training."
Obama on Monday signed an executive order to cap student loan payments _ no matter when the loan began _ at 10 percent of the borrower's income, starting in December 2015. His action comes as the Senate prepares to vote on Wednesday about a Democrat-backed bill that would allow individuals to refinance their student loans to the rate Congress approved last summer.
While this is the first event of its kind, the Obama administration has made several attempts to stay "in" with the so-called millennial generation.
There was his appearance on "Between Two Ferns," a half-funny, half cringe-worthy attempt to promote Obamacare with actor Zach Galifianakis. And the online Reddit "ask me anything" in which the president reviewed the White House beer recipe. He has also had interactive chats on Facebook, Twitter, Google Hangout and WhiteHouse.gov.
Yet his use of Tumblr as a platform to host an extended video of his Q&A is a bit off. Although this generation composes more than 40 percent of Tumblr users, it is a platform designed to be easily scrollable-through, said Marc Smith, director of the Social Media Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that studies digital networks.
Pictures and .gifs (which the White House pronounces with a hard "g") _ visuals that require no more than a few seconds to consume _ compose the vast majority of posts, Smith said. The White House even used .gifs of the president to promote the Tumblr Q&A.
With the "reblog" feature, which enables Tumblr users to publish another account's post on their page, the posts associated with the Q&A, like .gifs and quotes from the live session, are more likely spread across the social media platform than is the video of the entire session, said Alex Leavitt, an Internet and media researcher at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism.
"Even though people may not put too much attention on one post, lots of people just reblog everything," Leavitt said. "Even if they spend only a couple seconds looking at the post, it's likely to still get traction."
For a president whose time in office has coincided with the near omnipresence of social media, Obama's efforts to connect with millennials on the digital platforms they're most comfortable with have been notable, Smith said.
"The fact that they are there and in social media and using many of the channels shows that they are very much aware of where their audience and constituencies are," Smith said of administration officials. Their social media use has had "remarkable levels of success," he said.
Though the Q&A was the first of its kind on Tumblr, Obama's likeness is no stranger to the micro-blogging platform: There are dozens of citizen-created pages dedicated to the president, including Obama "with babies," "eating things" and, in a spoof that followed the NSA leaks, "checking your email."
Obama poked fun at himself Monday joking that he is "hip to all these things" because of his adolescent daughters, who are 15 and 13 years old.

A QUIET REVOLUTION {for jamie oliver}
Like so many of you, I'm a huge fan of Jamie Oliver and the tireless effort he has put into changing the eating habits of young people not just in the UK, but across the globe. With obesity a national epidemic here in the United States, we need all the help we can get, don't we?
Back in May, when Jamie's team asked if I would do something to celebrate Food Revolution Day this year, I jumped at the chance. I wrote this little piece for the JOFR website...
Revolution sounds like an immense undertaking. Huge. Monumental. As a kid who wanted to make changes in our world, I was deeply intimidated by this notion. Did I have to be another Martin Luther King or Cesar Chavez to make a difference? I felt paralyzed by the enormity of the task.
I've come to realize that every day when we go to the market, cook for our family and friends, it's not just for nourishment and enjoyment, but is a small political act as well. Caring about the people who grow our food, who raise eggs and animals for meat and dairy, even setting aside a patch of earth to grow some of our own herbs, fruit, and veg... all these small acts (when you see them over and over again across the globe) make up a revolution.
Thankfully, Jamie Oliver recognized the radical and profound possibilities of such humble ventures. He has empowered us all to act in small ways together.
I knew I wanted to do something to celebrate Jamie's Food Revolution Day this year. At first, I imagined something big and elaborate like hosting a cooking class for kids, or throwing a huge party. But then I remembered that simple cooking for, and with, my family and friends is enough, and more true to who I am.
We asked Otis, our middle-schooler to bring his buddies to our house for supper. Then, we invited their parents, and our wonderful neighbors and their kids. Our evening was loose, organic, and informal. We followed the classic American tradition of grilling burgers and sipping root beer floats. We chatted, ate, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company.
If this simple joy is revolution, I'm in.

I really like what Jamie Oliver is doing in order to change people's eating habits.ReplyDelete
Otis had a great idea.
What a great cause... Really like the message he is trying to spread.ReplyDelete
Erin,I believe that people like you and me are making a small difference but with a huge impact in a long run. Tending garden, harvesting, cooking, recording and appreciating the whole process is a beautiful thing. Since I started my front yard veggie garden, people stop and take photos because they want to apply the idea to their own front lawn. I just smiled:) I'm not trying to be a hero but showing what's possible in a small scale to eating healthy food one street at a time. Great article, by the way!ReplyDeleteReplies
Emi, I totally agree. I'm no hero, but it's not hard to make a (small) difference. We all have to eat 3 meals a day... why not make them both pleasurable and healthful!Delete
And growing even the tiniest bit of food is so deeply satisfying isn't it? I smile at our little garden every day.
I admire folks who want to make a difference in people's lives and typically they do it in such small ways. There is such a personal satisfaction to either growing your own food or simply just making something from scratch. It is so nice to see that you are an ambassador for Jamie's cause! Nicely done Erin!ReplyDelete
Lovely little piece! And I agree, by all doing our small part, we are contributing to change.ReplyDelete
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead
Such a great post Erin and such an important message; thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
I completely agree with your message. Strange how simple it actually is and how difficult that message seems to be to many (definitely not only the US, I notice the same things here in Europe). Cook well and eat together... Spread the word. Thanks for sharing this, Erin!ReplyDelete
I'm a huge fan of his work, I think he is brilliant and it's so cool that you are getting involved!ReplyDelete
And like you, I'm in too!! Hugs to you!
This is lovely and I am such a huge fan of Jamie Oliver. I adore the chef!ReplyDelete

"Any second language is beneficial for brain development and creativity."
The daughter of Costa Rican parents, a bilingual speaker of Spanish and English and the mother of four-year-old twins, Yani Lettman Peyton '93 has found her place in the business world.
Peyton's business, Fun with Foreign Language, teaches Spanish to children from 18 months to 13 years, immersing the child in the target language through interactive games and fun activities. "The program teaches Spanish using storybooks, games, puppets, arts and crafts." says Peyton.
Peyton founded the business in 2006. The business idea came after she realized that her community didn't have any language programs for preschool-aged children. Her research showed that the children should start learning a language as early as possible. "So I ventured on the path of starting the program," she says.
She received a BSBA from Bucknell in 1993. When Peyton started at Bucknell, she wanted to be a doctor, but after taking Professor John Miller's Management 101 and Professor Tim Sweeney's Marketing 280, she understood that business was what excited her. "That's when I realized that business is where I needed to be," she says.
Her business and management skills have definitely carried over to everything that she does now. "I'm applying many of the business fundamentals I learned during my Bucknell educational experiences," she says. Peyton received an MBA from the University of Maryland–College Park in 2002.
Like many Bucknellians, she met her husband, Russell Peyton '93, at Bucknell. He has been able to improve his Spanish skills with Peyton and their children. Peyton speaks Spanish to their children, who also attend the program, at home.
Peyton plans to expand the program and introduce other languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, French, and Italian. "Any second language is beneficial for brain development and creativity," she says.

Here is what Michelle had to say about the celebration-- "I had been planning Isabella's christening party almost from the moment I got pregnant. I was so excited to throw this very first party we would have for our little girl so I wanted something really memorable and pretty.
I always think of little Isabella as my miracle. I called her a little butterfly so I knew I wanted to incorporate butterflies into the theme. Since I decorated her nursery in a palette of pink and purple I opted for a classic color scheme of blush pink, purple, and pewter. I thought the colors looked great together and were both feminine and classic at the same time.
I opted for a nice floral butterfly garden theme since the event would be in the afternoon. I thought this brought together all the elements I loved perfectly.
Since invitations truly set the mood for events, I wanted our invitation to say something about what we wanted the entire party to feel like. We opted for beautiful pewter gray pocketfold letterpress invitations with a purple band one of Isabella's newborn photographs on it as well. I really wanted everything to be special so we even had each envelope done in handwritten calligraphy.
There was truly a certain look I was going for and to achieve it I worked with Bambi Hernandez of Alice's Wonderland. She is an amazing event and production stylist and I knew she could put together Isabella's perfect butterfly garden. I had bought these beautiful handmade purple, pink, and white butterflies I gave her to use throughout the styling to tie everything together. She was amazingly meticulous with the details. She took my mood board and brought it life, putting everything together so beautifully.
Our event was at the Continental Restaurant which had large windows allowing the sunlight to stream in. We used purple and pink tablecloths on the smaller square tables. Each table had a low flat arrangement of fresh flowers with a mason jar at the center containing sand and a butterfly. Additional butterflies also accented the centerpieces which Bambi and her team handmade on the day of the event.
The dessert table had a tabletop mini trellis with suspended butterflies and flowers in floating glass balls. This was further accented with ISABELLA's name above the sweets and photos of her accenting the whole table.
The main decorating element though was a handcrafted letter "I" installation that greeted guests as the entered the venue on a large round marble table. It was made with silk flowers and was accented by floral arrangements and candles. On this same table were "Wish Cards" for Isabella that guests filled up and hung on her tree.
The desserts were a large part of the event. Not only were there delicious but they made the dessert buffet look stunning. The sweets table were filled with floral cupcakes by Swell Sweets, personalized cookie pops, and cake pops from Cuppy Puppy Bakehouse, and a beautiful ruffle cake by Swell Sweets. It also had personalized purple M&M's my mom had hand-carried from Las Vegas home to the Philippines with Isabella's name on them.
We wanted to give everyone something special to remember the day so we had handmade crocheted baby booties made in white and pink and I personally filled them with Isabella's personalized M&M's for the guests. For her godparents we prepared special gifts - purple Pashmina scarfs for the ladies and homemade chocolate chip cookies for the gentlemen."

It's kind of hard to find something that fits every single one, but I'll try to give you recommendations as best as I can.
Baccano! is an excellent one. It starts out confusing because it jumps around in time, but the plot and characters are worth it in the end. I'd say the English dub fits better than the original voices. There's a lot of blood, as a warning. The only supernatural things in the anime are the immortals. It does have romance and "slice of life" (which is a really vague term), but they're not the main focus.
Durarara!! is written by the same author as Baccano!. There's more supernatural things in this one (like the titular Dullahan) but it's not really overwhelming. This one has more "slice of life" and a school setting. I personally didn't like the English dub but maybe you'll find it decent.
Kamisama no Memochou has no supernatural or fantasy in it. I think it has nearly everything you want, except I'm not sure if it's dubbed yet. I actually really enjoyed this series and its story arcs were great.
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi is another pretty good one. It's English dubbed, but I prefer the original voices.
You might like Angel Beats!. I still recommend the sub over dub on this one.

I tried School Rumble but it didn't seem to be my thing so I have put it on hold for now.
I have started Angel Beats a few days ago and I am on episode 8, really enjoying it at the moment.
But I will try and check out all of the recommendations when I have finished my current animes
