Three years after Los Angeles-based Gilmore Bank opened a branch office on Rinetti Lane in La Cañada Flintridge, it is moving to Foothill Boulevard at Angeles Crest Highway.
The new location for the Gilmore branch was formerly the home the Flintridge Bookstore, which relocated in February of this year. The site is known for the 2009 runaway truck crash that killed two and ended with the truck smashing into the building's storefront.
The bank's headquarters is on Fairfax Avenue, adjacent to the Los Angeles Farmer's Market, which is also owned by the Gilmore family. The Gilmores have had roots in the Southland since the 1870s.

As we say goodbye to 2014, we say hello to 2015 and what's more traditional than ringing in the New Year with some beautiful babies! We've set ourselves to the difficult task of identifying some of the cutest and most interesting wildlife babies to get us off to a fresh start on January 1.
After a look at this list, we bet you'll be looking forward to a happy (and maybe even cuddly) new year!
Bundles of joy
At ten days old, these brown bears hardly resemble the large furry adults they will one day become. Brown bears usually have litters of one to four cubs with cubs reaching maturity at four to six years of age.
Hey everyone look right
These fluffy and speckled ostrich chicks look very different from the black and white adults they all aspire to become. While ostriches lay some of the largest eggs among birds, they also hold the distinct honor of being the fastest running bird at an astonishing 43 mph.
Cute as a button
The angelic harp seal pup is distinguished by its white and pristine fur that differentiates it from the silvery-grey color of the adult. The pups white fur becomes whiter during their first two weeks, but they molt soon after and develop the silvery-grey of adults.
I present, the (tiny) emperor
This tiny tadpole is actually the dignified emperor newt, which develops orange and black coloration when it reaches adulthood. Females usually lay between 80 and 240 eggs with eggs hatching after 15 to 40 days.
What's up?
The small chick of the Southern cassowary looks nothing like the imposing adult that has a helmet of tough skin on its head. Eggs are incubated for around 50 days and may require parental care for up to 16 months.
Two is better than one
The critically endangered Kemp's ridley turtle is one of the smallest marine turtles with adults weighing less than 100 pounds. Hatchlings are grey-black all over compared to the grey-olive adults. About 90 eggs are lain per clutch, with two to three clutches lain a year.
What's black and yellow all over?
The corroboree frog is a small frog whose defining characteristics are the lack of webbed toes and their visually stunning black and yellow coloration. Females lay around 26 eggs with tadpoles remaining in their protective egg for up to 7 months.
Just hanging out
This is one extreme feline, since the Amur leopard resides in the frigid landscapes of the Russian Far East. These wonderful big cats have a thick fur that can grow up 7cm during winter and are among one of the rarest leopard subspecies.
Look into my eyes
The pint-sized dwarf crocodile are the smallest of the bunch with adults rarely reaching 5 feet in length. Females usually lay 10 eggs per clutch and take 100 days to incubate! Young crocodiles are about 28 cm when they hatch.
Did we capture you favorite babies from the animal kingdom? If not, feel free to share your favorite Arkive baby pictures in the comments below!
Happy New Year from the Arkive Team to you!

Obama Pulls Muscles, Tears Tendon in Gun Move
by E. Williams on 11/01/16 at 11:50 am
WASHINGTON D.C. – (satireworld.com)
White House doctors have confirmed that President Obama strained several muscles in his arms today, and even tore a tendon in his shoulder area, while overreaching in putting together his newest gun control executive orders. The president has been ordered to rest his skinny arms and reduce the movement of his left shoulder as much as possible.
Mr. Obama, who is left-handed, tore the teres minor tendon that attaches to the rotator cuff of his left shoulder when he, once again, stretched his legal authority beyond its normal range while meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch as the two worked on the president's latest abuse of power.
Mrs. Lynch said, "The president was overreaching and we both heard a 'pop' sound. I hit the floor because I thought it was a gunshot at first. Then I saw Barack grabbing his shoulder and wincing in pain as he dropped his pen. That's when I figured out what had happened."
The president has made a habit of overreaching during the past seven years, starting with his Obamacare legislation, and doctors have urged him to seek change in smaller increments instead of the big, sweeping, far-reaching motions he tends to prefer.
A member of the president's medical staff said part of the problem is that when Mr. Obama overreaches, it usually comes back to bite him in the next election. Because the president overreaches so often, his injuries don't ever have time to fully heal before he overuses the same muscles and tendons again.
The biggest fear within the White House is that since the president has vowed to overreach as much as possible during his last year in office, he could potentially hurt himself badly. One doctor told us, "If he ever felt so bold as to combine a gun grab, while overreaching at the same time, well, I don't have to tell you it would be bad."
Insiders believed that all the time the president has spent reaching out while holding his selfie stick would have strengthened these muscles and tendons more than they have, but apparently his lack of reaching out to those on the other side of the aisle have caused many of these tissues to atrophy over the course of his presidency.

Indian Davis Cupper Rohan Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi rallied from a set down to advance to the semi-finals of the Gerry Weber Open with a 4-6, 7-6(5), 10-4 victory over Dustin Brown of Germany and France's Gael Monfils at Halle, Germany, on Wednesday.
The 'Indo-Pak Express', top seeds in the Euro 7,50,000 grasscourt tournament, was taken by surprise by their unseeded opponents, who broke Bopanna and Qureshi once to run away with the first set.
However, Bopanna and Qureshi got their act together and bounced back in the second set before wrapping the match in the deciding third set.
In the semi-finals, Bopanna and Qureshi will take on the winners of the match between the German combo of Christopher Kas-Philipp Kohlschreiber and Finland's Jarkko Nieminen-Viktor Troicki of Serbia.

While the Delta Touch 2O faucets are useful when your hands are covered with paint or food goo and you don't want ick up the handles, I just couldn't get past it is a faucet powered by batteries. Electric and water are not good friends. Given my luck with batteries failing during multi day blackouts I had visions of the batteries dying and not being able to wash my hands.
Turns out if you ignore the indicator that the batteries need changing you can still turn on the facet with the manual handle. The batteries last up to three years.
Another nice thing about the Touch2O Technology faucet is the batteries turn off the facet after several minutes in case you have someone in your house that has that horrible disease Not Able to Turn Off Running Water, which apparently includes cats as well has children. The touch faucets (as well of most, if not all, of Delta's line) use less water and are Watersense rated. Watersense is the EPA's version of Energy Star for plumbing products.
Oh again.
Pretty gutsy (jerky?) for someone who Delta greeted like a movie star when she and her fellow other bloggers walked through the front door.
Everyone in the corporate office applauded when we walked into the lobby!
The GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY I AM BUYING ONE OF THESE BATTERY OPERATED FAUCETS AS SOON AS I GET HOME! moment came late in the afternoon when Delta had us do a little DIY (yay tools!) and install the even more freaking sweet Touch 2O.xt faucet.
I learned I am short enough to sit straight up when working
in a lavatory sink cabinet. Good to know.
Based on my experience when remodeling my bathroom I expect a little pain when installing a faucet because, well, I named my blog Condo Blues for a reason. The Touch 2O.xt faucet had a few extra steps but overall it was a painless install due to the how they label and package the parts for each step in the instructions. Smart!
The best part of the Touch 2O.xt faucet came when we turned on the water. You can tap it to turn it on or you can put your hand next to it and use THE FORCE to turn it on and off!
Luke, use the Force. Wash your hands. They are dirty.
Actually, the Touch 2O.xt operates on the scientific principle of capacitance, not the science fiction principle of The Force. Capacitance is the same principle used to operate touch screens on smart phones and tablet computers. The gadget gal in me geeked out.
It wasn't hard to geek out during the trip. As someone whom for all of my adult life had no say in what my faucets and shower heads looked like or how they performed (often poorly), I thought it was quaint at first that everyone at Delta is so into water. They geeked out on how people use faucets, the technology they develop to make low flow feel the same or better than water wasting gush flow, and used terms like Shower Experience. It wasn't until they suggested we start our day with a backwards shower - reversing every step in our shower routine - that I realized the order of my quick shower routine made a difference in how I felt when I started my day. (Did I mention I am kinda a jerk to think that? Because I think I am.) Don't believe me? Try it.
They used strobe lights to show us the water patterns of their shower heads.
The only thing that would make the demo sweeter is disco music.
That's because everyone we met at Delta really likes their job. They aren't just punching a clock and have a passion for what they do. It was hard to not get excited as the day went on because we met people who design beautiful things that solve problems. Delta welcome pointed questions from us bloggers. Delta asked us some pointed questions too. All in the pursuit of solving problems.
The Delta line and me with a tiny purse.
How in the world can I sneak all these pretties home?
How in the world can I sneak all these pretties home?
I fell hard for the luxury Brizo line. Designers say faucets are the jewelry of the room. With Brizo it's not jewelry, it's art.
I can't believe faucets could be wicked sexy. Brizo is - rwor!
I can have pretty AND water saving AND address issues I though were just my personal quirks? Sign. Me. Up.
Meet Charlotte. She's beautiful.
The design sucked me in but the stories about Brizo being inspired by an Erte (one of my favorite artists!), twisted wrought iron gates, a lighthouse, and a swan made me stay. And drool. The design inspiration stores make Brizo even lovelier.
I don't know about my fellow bloggers, but I daydreamed about replacing the rest of my ugly but water saving shower heads and bland builder grade faucets all the way home.

After my trip I called my Dad on Father's Day. Dad told me he was renovating his bathroom. The first sentence out of my mouth was, "Dad, your faucet HAS to have batteries!"
I'm convinced.
Nice job Delta Faucet Company.

BUTTERFLY conservationists are buzzing after the first year of the Steyning Dukes and Downland Project.
More than 40 people gathered in the Saxon Room at the Steyning Centre on Friday to hear the latest news on the project, which plans to restore the South Downs around Steyning as a haven for butterflies.
Richard Goring, whose family set up the Steyning Downland Scheme, gave a warm welcome before a number of presentations explaining this year's work.
The Heritage Lottery Fund granted £28,000 for the project in a bid to encourage dainty Duke of Burgundy butterflies back to the chalk grasslands.
Sarah Quantrill, project co-ordinator, said volunteers had cleared invading scrub to encourage wild flowers to grow.
Tens of thousands of cowslip and primrose seeds had already been collected and 25 people have volunteered to grow on hundreds of seedlings, which will be planted on the downs this autumn. These are the food plants for the rare Duke of Burgundy, which experts believe can be brought back to Steyning after going extinct in the area decades ago.
Steyning Grammar School teacher Cecily Tidley said her students had monitored butterflies and one day had seen more than 250 butterflies.
Neil Hulme, naturalist and butterfly expert, has been working with the two-year project, having already been successful in seeing the Duke of Burgundy species return to Chantry Hill, about 15km west of the Steyning Downland Scheme.
He reported a total of 4,298 butterflies had been seen on the land during 2015, including the rare Adonis Blue and Silver Spotted Skipper.
The Dukes project is a partnership between the Steyning Downland Scheme, the South Downs National Park Authority, Butterfly Conservation and Wakehurst Place, Kew.

If you're not a five star hotel kind of person, perhaps you'll like to take a vacation inside artist Joep Van Lieshout's colon at the CasAnus.
The CasAnus is a giant sculpture of the large intestine in which people can stay. Located in Belgium, CasAnus offers guests a comfortable visit, considering you're staying in a colon shaped sculpture. Inside there's a double bed, an electric heater, a shower and of course a toilet. To quote the owner of the park in which CasAnus is located, "[the] exhibition space does not aim to be an oasis."
If you stay at CasAnus, you'll also be able to view other sculptures and art pieces near by, as the land surrounding CasAnus is a private art site.

The Governator At It Again
I e-mailed the governor the following:
Dear Gov.,
Your latest comments on Native American casino expansion are despicable and boarder on racist. I'm sorry that an oppressed people are trying to get by and that that interferes with your own agenda. I wish you would remember the plight of the Native American people. Just in case you don't know, the Anglo settlers of the USA were the original terrorist. The Anglo's raped, killed in mass, hunted, pillaged and oppressed the Native American people. The only thing missing is the bombs, they weren't yet invented. The Anglo Americans then proceeded to, just short of enslavement, push these people into dark little corners of the country, with no aid or support from the new terrorist ruling party. This is basically still the case. Yes, the new museum in Washington, D.C. is a nice gesture, but falls far short of what we as a county need to do for the Native American people. They played by our rules. Chief Sitting Bull came before Congress to fight for the Native American liberation and was severely ridiculed by Congress. I hope the Native American's rise again. They are very spiritual people, and Governor, karma is a bitch. I know you are doing what you feel is right as governor, but you should let the people decide. That is democracy. Stop being Bush's little token foreigner and be yourself. What is happening in Iraq right now is what the Native American's needed to do to our forefathers. So please, let the people decide and grow yourself a set while your at it.
I will post his response when I get it.

Police in Florida have uncovered a high school prostitution ring run by a 17-year-old girl and a boy, 15. The high school teens recruited fellow students and used social media to transact deals for which they charged between $50 and $100 in cash plus alcohol.
It is believed that the idea to sell students for sex in exchange for alcohol and money was hatched during the summer. After speaking with students, Florida police believe that at least three deals for sex were made using Facebook's private messaging service as well as Kik and Snapchat. A search warrant obtained by police for the Facebook account of the 17-year-old girl resulted in the discovery of messages between she and the 15-year-old boy, other participants of the ring and prospective clients and included information on how the the deals would be made. Police also discovered the rates charged for the different services offered, which included between $50 and $70 for oral sex and $100 for sex with a virgin. The prostitutes received 40 percent of the money.
The alleged prostitution ring at Venice High School was discovered after four students of the school told the School Resource Officer in October that they were being recruited to join the ring by the 17-year-old, who attended Sarasota High, and the 15-year-old male student who had once attended their school. It was during the same time period that police were investigating a Florida man named John Michael Mosher, 21, for having an alleged sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl from Riverview High School.
The 17-year-old girl ring leader was arrested on Friday by Venice, Florida, police and has been charged with felony human trafficking. Her accomplice, the 15-year-old boy, had already been taken into custody on unrelated charges, but will also be charged with human trafficking for this case, said Captain Tom Mattmuller of the Venice police. Both juveniles are in custody in the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. The Guardian Liberty Voice does not identify juveniles who have been charged with or are victims of crimes.
Also taken into custody on Friday was Mosher. According to police, he paid to have sex with a 15-year-girl in the shed of a community pool in August. The girl was not a willing participant, and told Mosher that she did not want to have sex with him and that she wanted to leave. He held her against a wall of the shed to prevent her from leaving. Mosher paid for the girl with a bottle of liquor and an additional $40. He faces charges of sexual battery of a person older than 12 years of age, which is a felony. He is currently jailed without bond under orders that there is no further contact between he, the 17-year-old or the victim. Jail records indicate that Mosher was homeless and worked as a dishwasher, but formed part of the same social group as the students involved.
It is believed that the 15-year-old victim is the only person who was actually sold for prostitution, and that after the two ring leaders received payment for her from Mosher, they made a push to recruit more members in hopes of making more money and alcohol. Witnesses have told police that at least some of the money earned was used to buy drugs.
Florida police believe that no activity related to the prostitution ring occurred on school property. The principal of Sarasota High School, speaking for the school district, said no comments will be made because the investigation is ongoing.

Justice Department Seeks to Shut Down Texas Tax Preparers
Dallas-Area Group's "Trini Tax" Business Allegedly Claimed Improper Tax Credits for Customers
The Justice Department announced today that it has sued two Dallas tax return preparers, seeking to bar them from preparing federal tax returns for others. The civil injunction suit alleges that Ricardo Solomon and Leslie Mosley, who operate a business called Trini Tax, claim false deductions and credits on customers' federal tax returns.
According to the government complaint, Solomon and Mosley included fabricated claims for federal fuel tax credit and for education tax credits on tax returns that they prepared. The complaint alleges that Solomon and Mosley's false claims for federal fuel tax credits have appeared on at least 187 tax returns, and claimed at least $700,000 for the year 2011 alone. The complaint alleges that Solomon prepared a 2010 tax return for one customer that claimed false fuel tax credits for purported fuel purchases that would have cost the customer far more than she reported receiving in income that year.
Fraudulently claiming expenses in order to secure larger refundable credits, including the fuel tax credit, is one of the Internal Revenue Service's Dirty Dozen tax scams for 2012. The federal fuel tax credit is available only to taxpayers who operate farm equipment or off-highway business vehicles.
The complaint further alleges that Solomon and Mosley repeatedly prepared tax returns that falsely claimed their customers were entitled to an education tax credit, although they did not attend an accredited post-secondary educational institution at any point during the tax year.
In the past decade the Justice Department's Tax Division has obtained injunctions against hundreds of tax-return preparers and tax-fraud promoters. Information about these cases is available on the Justice Department website at www.justice.gov/tax/taxpress2012.htm .

A Fix For "Too Quiet, Then Suddenly Too Loud" Movies at Home
When I watch movies or TV series at home, I always do so with the remote in hand. Not because I'm itching to change the channel, but because many blockbuster type movies and action shows seemed to be engineered with audio shock and awe in mind (even shows like BBC's Sherlock can be guilty of this), where a moment of calm and quiet dialogue is suddenly pierced by jarring action scenes that can mark you as the "problem neighbor". Lifehacker shares a solution for this "quiet then really loud" issue...but with a catch.
Sound Lock sits in your system tray and lets you set the maximum volume for your entire computer, so no matter how loud things may get, you won't wake up your neighbors. Just install it, click on the system tray icon, and move the slider down until you reach your desired level. When you watch your movie, the really loud parts should be lowered to the same level as the quiet parts.
The catch? It's only compatible for watching content on a Windows computer or a home theater PC, so Mac users will have to fire up Bootcamp or Parallels/VMware Fusion, while viewers watching via cable, satellite, DVD/Blu-ray, or streaming media boxtops are best served by their HDTV's built-in "night time mode" for Dynamic Range Control (the Playstation 3 has the option to average out the decibels under the Video Settings).

So an afternoon of work and fitting, it was in. The uprights are the same dowels as before and the 'hat' or dome is actually a cheap plastic exterior light I came across at Stratco which just happened to be a perfect fit. Fresh coat of paint and we're done!
Thus the TARDIS is complete. However as the National Australian Costumers Guild Ball was approaching I was beginning to wonder about how to transport it. The last saga with getting it to Armageddon, I really did not wish to repeat, there had to be an easier way!
And there was... The roof and the sign boxes were already removable, I modified the sign boxes for the side slightly to make them 'slide' into place rather than screw in. With that modification, the side walls could be unscrewed at the corners and slid out. The front and back were unscrewed from the anchor points as single slabs (doors, sign boxes and all). These two are pretty heavy, but manageable. Then the base can be moved, so ultimately it came apart in 8 pieces and could be transported in the family trailer. No more hiring a trailer!
So here it is, complete and in place at the Australian Costumers Guild Ball, where it was a feature for our costume parade skit.
There was several doctors at this year's ball. Thanks again to Eman and to Catherine & David for the pics.

22 October 2008
around with Racing Forms. Bill and I had a beer, and casually Bill went over to the slot machine and threw a half-dollar piece in. The counter clicked "Jackpot"—"Jackpot"—Jackpot"---and the last Jackpot hung for just a moment and slipped off to "Cherry." He had lost a hundred dollars or more just by a cunthair. "Damn!" yelled Bill. "They got these things adjusted. You could see it right then. I had the jackpot and the mechanism clicked it back. Well, what you gonna do." We examined the Racing Form. I hadn't played the horses in years and was bemused with all the new names. There was one horse called "Bigh Pop" that sent me into a temporary trance thinking of my father, who used to play the horses with me. I was just about to mention it to Bill when he said "Well I think I'll try this Ebony Corsair here." Then I finally said it: "Big Pop reminds me of my father." He mused for just a second, his clear blue eyes fixed on mine hypnotically so that I couldn't tell what he was thinking or where he was. Then he went over and bet on Ebony Corsair. Big Pop won and paid 50 to 1. "Damn!" said Bill. "I should have known better, I've had experience with this before. Oh when will we ever learn?" "What do you mean?" "Big Pop is what I mean. You had a vision, boy, a VISION. Only damn fools pay no attention to visions. How do you know your father, who was an old horseplayer, just didn't momentarily communicate to you that Big Pop was going to win the race. The name brought the feeling up in you. That's what I was thinking about when you mentioned it. My cousin in Missouri once bet on a horse that had a name that reminded him of his mother and it won and paid a big price. The same thing happened this afternoon." He shook his head. "Ah, let's go. This is the last time I'll ever play the horses with you around, all these visions drive me to distraction." In the car as we drove back to his old house he said "Mankind will someday realize that we are actually in contact with the dead and with the other world whatever it is; right now we could predict, if only we exerted enough mental will, what is going to happen within the next hundred years and be able to take steps to avoid all kinds of catastrophes. When a man dies he undergoes a mutation in his brain that we know nothing about now

Grandparents Day is celebrated on September 11th every year by families to give special token of their love and thanks to the elder members in response to their unconditional love and support. Interestingly, grand parents' day usually falls in between September 7 and September 13 every year as it symbolizes presence of grandparents support in the autumn years of the life. As an excert says "As we seek to strengthen the enduring values of the family, it is appropriate that we honor our grandparents," we should support our grand parents in their hard phase of life. By supporting and loving our grandparents, we are actually supporting our heritage and tradition.
Grandparents Day provide excellent opportunity to show your respect and love to your grandparents. It is way of honoring your grandparents for providing you better life. Further, it helps grandchildren in knowing the strength, information, and guidance they gain in the presence of their grandparents.
Grandparents day was initiated by a Virginian homemaker, Marian McQuade, as a compaign to honor grandparents. The day becomes so popular in the society that it had been declared as Grandparents Day in officiallly in 1973.
After few years, in 1978, the day had been accepted in US by that time President Jimmy Carter and from then it is being celebrated in the first half of the September every year.
Surprisingly, there are particular flowers to present your grandparents on their day. The 'Forget-me-not' flowers are official fowers for Grandparents Day, as they symboizes the memories of our grandparents are not faded out with the span of time. The flowers encourage us to create lasting memories by maintaining relationships between generations.
A song "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa," by Johnny Prill was declared as the official grandparents day song in the US. The song delivers the actual feeling and strength of relation between grandparents and chidren in words.
The day is celebrated among the famiy members and there are many ways to make this day memorable and enjoyable.
Family Gathering: A family gathering is a perfect way to celebrate this occasion. A lunch or dinner with your grandparents will make them feel really proud of their chidren and grandchildren. The meal becomes special if it has favorite dishes of your grandparents. This type of gathering is capable of maintaining the warmth in the relationship.
Story telling: An opportunity to share experiences of your grandparents will be very enjoying and informative to you.
Games: Selecting games according to your Grandparents choice and playing them together will make the day memorable for life.
Visiting a Nursing Home: Planning a visit to a nursing home will be a great gift to those grandparents who do not have anybody to share their feelings and life.
Giving gifts is a small gesture of giving respect and love to your grandparents. Well, any gift given with true feelings is appropriate for the occasion. But, a gift that fullfil your grandparents desire will be great gesture from your side. You can gift a greeting card filled with your heartist feelings and love towards your grandparents or a scrapbook or album to keep the memories alive.

Remarkable Royal Hickman Paris Ware Tan with light green Petty Crystal Glaze short neck Oil Jar Vase circa the 1930's. Measuring eight inches tall by seven inches wide this beautiful art pottery piece is from his Paris, Tennessee Studio. It is marked with his name, the number 488, and U.S.A. on the bottom. There are no cracks or chips, and only normal crazing. The design is indicative of Hickman and perfect for a collector.
First as a metal sculptor and potter in California, then on to Illinois, Royal Hickman worked for Haeger until 1944, but continued to contribute additional designs to the firm during the 1950s on a freelance basis. He operated studio art potteries, in Tennessee and Florida in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Hickman also designed crystal animal figurines for the Heisey Glass Company.

I just wanted to share a quick little tag and goodies I made this week in appreciation of a co-worker
This co-worker is male, he loves to bake, as much as I do and he wears bow ties on occasion
Before work on Monday morning, I baked up a batch of Peanut Butter Cookies
I have always enjoyed baking and this recipe was in a little cookbook my mother had in our kitchen
This cookie recipe is the very first cookie recipe I made as a young girl, around age 9 or 10
My mother has since passed on, but I want to see if I can find this cookbook in their kitchen
It is easy to remember, quick to make, and very tasty
And no flour for those who want something without gluten (see recipe below)
Quickly made this tag to add to the package of cookies, attached with turquoise bakers twine
Dollar Store Washi tape, which I just love these colors and the pattern
Felt bow tie from my stash and rhinestones to finish the tag
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix all ingredients together until smooth
Place in refrigerator for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping
Using a scoop or hand roll into 1 Tablespoon balls
sprinkle with sugar and slightly press cookie down with fork tines
Bake for 10-12 minutes
Yield: 2.5 dozen cookies
I hope you enjoyed my quick post
if you have a chance to make the cookies, tell me what you think
Thanks for coming by today - Catch the Frenzy! - Karen

So what's with Toronto?

Dazzling! What an eye-opener... makes me want to plan a trip consisting only of visiting subway stations (and maybe an occasional Mandel Bread and tea break).ReplyDelete
I have bookmarked the 2nd site and plan to return to it often - especially before travelling anywhere.
Thank you!
- AnonymousMarch 6, 2011 at 5:16 AM
It's simple mathematics: the federal go'vt collects income and corporate taxes from Toronto and gives only a fraction of it back. In many other countries, the national governments fund public transit because they understand the importance of cities. Like the US, we build correctional facilities instead. Sad really.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 6, 2011 at 7:29 AM
The art is incredible, but you fail to mention the moving sidewalks! Now that's something to talk about LOL!!!ReplyDelete
- Robert EisenbergMarch 7, 2011 at 12:53 PM
Back in 1955 when our subway was built it was considered quite remarkable. You got to know each station by its unique colour; the stations were spotless, and the tiles gleamed. Also back then the federal government had not downloaded services onto the provinces (or refused to disclose the amount of equalization payments to "have-not" provinces as recently complained about in a G&M article), and the provinces had not downloaded all kinds of services onto the city.ReplyDelete

This Kitchen Magic Will Change the Way You Eat Hard-Boiled Eggs
It's so easy to forget how luxurious a properly cooked hard-boiled egg can be. First, don't actually cook them until they're "hard," which is a misleading word to apply to eggs at this point, but it is what we call them so it shall remain. I'm really talking about a seven- or eight-minute egg, preferably made in the pressure cooker, with its firm-yet-creamy whites and yolk the texture of whipped velvet. An egg cooked just like this really doesn't need more than a shower of salt and pepper to be delicious, but often I even tire of this simple preparation.
So to up the luxe factor in my hard-boiled eggs, I grab my favorite herb and spices, a small skillet, some olive oil, and work a little kitchen magic.
Kitchen Witchery: Hot Flavored Oil for Your Eggs
I started making hot flavored oils for my hard-boiled eggs when I had a bit of tadka leftover from making dal. Tadka is the technique of tempering spices in hot oil or ghee, often used in South Asian cooking. This mixture is poured over soup, dals, and curries to add a final boost of flavor. The hot, richly seasoned oil creates the flavor that hits you first when you taste a dish.
My family often makes a tadka of black pepper and almost burnt garlic for our dal. It's pungent, astringent, and one of my favorite flavors and smells to create in my kitchen. When I found myself with a bit of leftover tadka and a cold hard-boiled egg waiting for the standard dash of salt and pepper, I decided to just put the two together. The warm oil took the chill off the egg and infused every bit with flavor. The extra bit of fat made every bite decadent and turned my snack of eggs into a meal.
I was hooked and started making hot oils for eggs ever since. Today, it's still one of my favorite ways to eat hard-boiled eggs and I find myself combining any number of herbs and spices to flavor my eggs.
How to Make Hot Flavored Oil for Eggs
This is very much a freestyle recipe, so play around and find a combination that works for you. A few things to keep in mind as you go about making your own concoction.
- A small skillet works best. It helps with portion control and helps you cook only the amount of oil you need.
- You're warming the oil and the ingredient in it until the flavors fuse together. Don't make the stove temperature high enough to cause frying.
- Swirl! A little agitation helps to get things going.
Pretty much any oil you enjoy and any spices and herbs you like are fair game. I'm partial to fruity, nutty Spanish olive oil or a fragrant coconut oil as the base. Here are a few combos I've tried with great results.
- Olive oil, crushed black peppercorns, turmeric, Himalayan pink salt
- Coconut oil, Aleppo pepper flakes, crushed thyme leaves
- Olive oil, crushed garlic clove (with the skin on), sliced ginger, black peppercorns
Once you have your warm oil, remove some of the larger ingredients, and spoon the oil over halved eggs.
Have you tried a hot flavored oil on your eggs? Curious to give it a try?

Even during its winter break, Modern Family was busy off the airwaves—collecting accolades. The ABC show earned Golden Globe nominations for Best Television Series, and for Best Supporting Actor (Eric Stonestreet) and Actress (Sofia Vergara). The Screen Actors Guild Awards also honored the cast with nominations, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and individual nods to Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara.
There's no doubt about the talent of the Modern Family cast, but we were curious how the show would start the new year after a couple of less-than-stellar holiday episodes.
Returning this week with "Lifetime Supply," viewers find Phil at the doctor's for a physical. The doctor tells Phil that he'll call if there's anything wrong, and we know exactly what will happen next. Because it's Phil Dunphy. The guy who responds to the doctor's request to bend over with: "Dim the lights, crank up the Norah Jones, and let's get this over with."
Unfortunately, that was probably Phil's best line of the night. Throughout the rest of the episode, we watch Phil as he prepares for the inevitable, since he missed the doctor's call and can't reach him. To top it all off, he's run out of a lifetime supply of razor blades won on a game show 15 years earlier, so he believes that's another omen of his impending doom. His actions were a bit predictable, but Burrell made the most with what he had.
In another storyline, Mitchell and Cameron return home from a dinner where Mitchell is honored with the "Oscar of the environmental law community." He puts the award on the mantle, only to find that Cam has dug out one of his old trophies—a fishing award from his teen years—to showcase, too. Mitchell get a little petty, miffed at the one-upmanship, at one point telling Cam: "My award was given to me by my peers…yours was given to you on a pier."
Mitchell eventually realizes the error of his ways, and decides to dig out the rest of Cam's trophies for a display, but he drops the box just as Cam walks in. The chemistry between Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson is just fun to watch. They banter like an old married couple, and we'd love to see more of that in a substantial story—as long as there's a point. There wasn't a resolution to the trophy saga, so it leaves us wondering what all the fuss was about.
In the third major story of the episode, Jay and Manny are preparing for a golf outing when Manny comes downstairs wearing his golf outfit to make sure there's no overlap in wardrobe the following day. The look he was going for? "Matt Damon in Bagger Vance." That's the Manny we've come to know and love: The old soul trapped inside a preteen boy's body.
The golf day is canceled when Manny's smooth-talking dad Javier (played by special guest Benjamin Bratt) drops in and insists on taking Manny to the track. He tells his son that golf is for "old men and women who like women." Gloria insists that Jay tag along since she cannot go (she's tutoring Haley in Spanish) because the last time Javier dropped by he took Manny to the petting zoo—a strip joint. "A real petting zoo would have been cleaner," Gloria tells the camera.
At the track Manny is caught between his two dads, each trying to give the boy life lessons through horseracing. Unfortunately, Jay comes out on the short end of the stick. The scenes at the track were more bittersweet than laugh-out-loud funny, giving Modern Family an emotional edge we rarely see.
Modern Family
is a good sitcom with a great cast—the laughs come fast and furious. The accolades are deserved, but at some point we wish that the storylines would entice us to come back as much as the one-liners and throwaway jokes.

I really have had a pretty easy pregnancy thus far. No major anything. I am surprised at the number of things that I didn't know going into it (and I will spare you the details), but overall I feel pretty gosh duurrn lucky. Pregnancy is a fast nine months and before I know it, this bump that sits between me and getting my socks on comfortably (or getting out of bed gracefully) will be no more. To remember this crazy amazing time I made my very own pregnancy list. 1/4 of the items are food related. Just sayin'…
1 & 2) Honeycrisp apples with crunchy peanut butter. Ummm…I have pregnancy insomnia and the first thing I think of when I wake up is apples and peanut butter. I. Can't. Get. Enough.
3) Crunchy dill pickles are the best even if not pregnant. Yes? Well, I sneak at least two of these little guys every day.
4) Donuts. I have never craved donuts so much in my life. It started as soon as I found out I was expecting. And I can have the nasty powder donuts from a bag or homemade, fresh out of the oven. It doesn't matter just give me the freakin donut! I have practiced restraint, though. I only give in once in a while.
5) Body brushing. My skin itches so much! Pregnancy and living in cold Alaska is a recipe for scratching my skin right off. I have started to body brush before each shower. You can check out more on the benefits here.
6) Nourish Exfoliating Body Polish is wonderful. It is fragrance free, gently exfoliates, and doesn't feel like my skin is stripped of its natural oils. The packaging is pretty, too.
7) I probably read too much. But I have a few favorites and The Happiest Baby on the Block has provided me with information about the first few months of a newborn's sleep cycle (or lack thereof). I have no clue how my little one will respond to any of the "advice" from this book, but either way I feel better prepared of the sleepless nights that are right around the corner.
8) I asked for this book for my birthday in May. The book is called Prayer with Purpose: 90 Days of Prayer for Your Unborn Child. It's a journal that offers spiritual and physical prayers for your baby. I like having a bit of guidance in my prayer life, since I usually just sit quietly with God because, at times, I don't have a clue what to ask of Him, especially with my unborn child. This is a perfect guide and when the baby is old enough, can read the prayers that were prayed over them…
9) Hypnobirthing. Hypno-whaaaat? I want to have a natural child birth and this book and classes are preparing me for my birth plan. If my birth plan doesn't go the way I would hope, that's ok, but no one can say I didn't prepare.
10) I hate maternity pants. I own two pairs and I wear one of them. These stretchy skinny jeans from Old Navy are my little secret. I am currently wearing them right now and they have been in my closet rotation well before I was pregnant (for over three years). Yep…I'm over seven months pregnant and I am wearing regular jeans (I can't do that with any of my other jeans). The key is that they sit super low and are stretchy. Go get yourself a pair even if you aren't preggo (ok, not if you're a guy).
11) The Snoogle. A pregnant woman's pal. I can't figure out where I will store this dang thing when I'm not pregnant. Selling a pillow just seems wrong…I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.
12) The dry, itchy skin is also on my face, but thanks to Worker B Dusk Serum, I don't have to worry about that anymore. This is an all natural serum made with organic oils and extracts and is made in small batches in Minnesota. My face drinks this stuff up!
13) Earth Mama Body Butter. Every day. On my belly. I don't have stretch marks (yet) and I would like to thank this body butter and my mom & dad for good genes (since I believe genetics play a bigger part in stretch marks).
Nine more weeks to go until I can meet the little person that has been known sweetly as "the bump". I am curious if they will like apples and donuts as much as me? I guess we'll have to wait to find out…

WEST BATH — A tractor-trailer hauling furniture jackknifed on Route 1 in West Bath at about 1:12 p.m. Wednesday, closing the busy highway to traffic and threatening New Meadows Lake with leaked diesel fuel.
The truck driven by Jason Hilton, 32, of Sterling, Virginia, hydroplaned in the deluge of rain, striking a guardrail and coming to rest in the middle of the road, just at the town line next to the lake.
Hilton was taken to Mid Coast Hospital with minor injuries, according to police.
There were no other vehicles involved.
The saddle tank on the truck ruptured when it hit the right guardrail. The tank can hold up to 100 gallons of diesel fuel, and it had begun to spill. Brunswick and West Bath fire departments set up dikes to prevent diesel from leaking into the lake.
"That's a lot of diesel to spill in the pouring rain near a river," Lt. Brian Quinn of the Sagadahoc Sheriff's Department said. "EPA doesn't like that very much."
The state Department of Environmental Protection arrived at the site around 2:30 p.m. to assess the spill, and with the help of the Brunswick Hazmat Response Team it was cleaned up.
Northbound Route 1 traffic was being rerouted from Cook's Corner in Brunswick onto Old Bath Road.

Fisichella on how to break the deadlock over remarried divorcees
"I have an idea on how to break the deadlock..." Archbishop Rino Fisichella, a theologian and President of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation, opens up to the possibility of "different solutions" for wounded families and recalls that what the Church wants is to embrace everyone "like a mother, not like a judge".
Will the Church modify its doctrine on marriage?
"I haven't heard one single speech that calls the indissolubility of marriage into question. The dilemma is a pastoral one: how to welcome people without excluding anyone, whilst remaining faithful to Jesus' teaching, in a world in which there is a great divide between dominant cultural trends and the Christian idea of the family."
Some have encouraged [the Synod] to recognise the positive aspects of civil marriage.
"The doctrine is examined and developed, without being altered. Regarding the subject of conscience and religious freedom, the Second Vatican Council has made the Church take a leap forward. Civil marriage does not mean living together, these are two different things. What has emerged from the Synod is a method of discussion: none of us claims to possess the truth but as John Paul II taught us, once a truth is discovered, it is just another phase which pushes us further."
Would you readmit remarried divorcees to the Eucharist in certain cases?
"I don't want to start judging and theorising based on specific cases. But who in today's world can say they have not had cases of members of their own families living together or divorcing? Unfortunately, we are immersed in a reality in which the beauty of marriage has been wounded. There has been too much emphasis on the Canonist, or legal, dimension of marriage, which has led us often into the waters of legalism. Recuperating the sacramental dimension would make it easier to find different solutions, in continuity with original doctrine. Here we return to the primacy of conscience. Nothing and no one can intervene in this. Of course, it must be a conscience that is illuminated by the Word of God, that is reflected upon and that accepts the obedience of a path."
How can doctrine be combined with a focus on certain situations?
"I have an idea on how to break the deadlock. There are examples in the New Testament which I have not heard anyone quote. Jesus says sins against the Son of Man will be forgiven. I think this refers to the sins of ignorance. We need to work out what these sins are, sins which are committed without the person even realising it. Then there is Sat. Paul: he gave orders for a person who was in an incestuous relationship to be cast out of the community as incest is a grave sin. But in the second letter to the Corinthians he speaks again about the case, saying: you must embrace him once again so that he no longer suffers the weight of sadness and so that we are not overcome by Satan. How can we ensure we are not overcome by Satan, the one who divides us? We don't know how this man went on to live but Paul says that the community must offer "consolation". This could help guide us in marrying the principles of the Church and the real life of communities."
Is there a problem regarding the treatment of remarried divorcees?
"Some forms of senseless discrimination do exist. Why should remarried divorcees who are active members of the community not be given the opportunity to teach in a Catholic school?"
At the Synod, one couple spoke about how a family should act toward gay sons and daughters...
"I have had a chance to speak to families who experience these kinds of situations. I try to explain to them that the Church cannot recognise marriage between people of the same sex but it embraces everyone like a mother, not like a judge."

Thank you for considering Maxine + Shellaine to be your newborn photographers. We pay great attention to detail to ensure we create beautiful images for your family. And newborn safety is always priority.
For your image personalization we can coordinate colours to match your nursery or home decor. We have a wide array of props and blankets that we can use to coordinate to your specifications.
When should I book my newborn session with you?
Anytime in your second trimester is great! Because there are two of us, we can often accommodate last minute bookings, so email us to inquire into current availability.
How old should baby be?
To get the sweet sleeping curled baby images you see you our newborn gallery, we aim to book you in for when baby is 6-10 days old.
Are siblings allowed at newborn sessions?
As parents of multiple children, we both know how important sibling shots are! That is why we include a sibling set-up for one of the customized sets. That said, children under three years old can be unpredictable when it comes to photo shoots. We will always make an effort for the sibling picture (and are generally successful) however after attempting it, we do have to move on to newborn only pictures. Generally the shot works better with a younger newborn (6-8 days) as baby is sleepier, and we can do the set as soon as you arrive. With slightly older newborns we will focus on their solo pictures first, to make sure we get the sets we need for your gallery while they sleep. We also recommend that the sibling just visit the studio for a portion of the shoot, not the entire session.
Can grandparents be in newborn pictures?
Grandparents are welcome as well! Our studio is not huge, so we once again recommend having them come at the beginning or towards the end of the shoot. Let us know in advance, so we can provide you with some information on what to wear.
How long is my newborn session?
Newborn sessions with us are 2-3 hours. The session may be a little shorter or longer, depending on baby. We will shoot until we have enough to fulfil your gallery. This includes 1-2 props, a blanket set, family images, and then a sibling or grandparent shot if applicable.
What if my baby is fussy the day of the shoot?
Not to worry:) This is our specialty, and we know how to make baby sleepy and comfortable! Our best advice is to book with us early, and let us know when baby arrives, so we can get you in during the 6-10 days age range. If we were to have a baby in that was too unsettled, we would have you back to make sure that we get a full gallery. In four years, and many, many newborn shoots, we have only had this happen three times. And on their return visits, we always got enough to fill their gallery.
Can I bring props/family heirloom items to use for my newborns session?
If you have something you would like to incorporate into your session, please let us know prior to your shoot. We will do our best to use anything you bring, but these items(s) will replace one of our sets.
Any more questions please use the contact form to inquire.
Once you are booked, a PDF with further details will be sent to you. Please contact us with any questions by using the contact form.

Player of the Day: RICKEY!
Rickey Henderson makes the Hall of Fame on his first try. Let's count the ways that Rickey was great. I'm using the same resources and methodology that I used to compare Brian Downing and fellow new Hall of Famer Jim Rice in this article.
1. Rickey was 584 batting runs above average for his career. His power was a bit above average, with a .419 slugging average compared to a league .401, but his ability to get on base was his main skill. He had over 3000 hits and 2000 walks. He was a very good friend with first base.
2. But he didn't wear out his welcome. Once on first Rickey didn't stay long at all. He adds another 162 runs with his speed. A lot of that is his record of stolen bases, but it also includes advancing on hits, outs, wild pitches, and every other event that a baserunner can take advantage of.
3. Rickey hit into an average number of double plays given his DP opportunities.
4. Rickey put his speed to good use in the outfield with a career +85 TotalZone rating. His arm wasn't very good though, and cost him 19 runs.
5. Add it all up, and Rickey was 812 runs above average. To get value over replacement, add another 432. Subtract 120 because he played mostly left field, where players are expected to hit more than average and the defensive responsibility is not that great. Rickey was 1124 runs better than replacement.
6. That's worth 115.9 wins, Only Bonds, Mays, Aaron, and Mantle have more in the Retrosheet era.

Interlude 25. California Supreme Court weighs in for state-bar extremists: Time to turn to the federal courts
4 comments:
Read the judgement in Kay's case against the State Bar in Federal court where the court say it was the policy of the federal court to defer to the state in discipline proceedings. There is no relief coming from the federal bench.
- July 13, 2012 at 6:39 PM
- Stephen R. Diamond said...
Your conclusion is very reasonable, but deference isn't absolute. I don't think anyone has argued in federal court that the Supreme Court's special relationship to the State Bar,which functions as its administrative arm, creates a conflict of interest which incapacitates scrutiny. (Guarino v. Larsen (3rd Cir. 1993) 11 F.3d 1151, 1159 n.4 ["when a court makes a decision concerning the legality of its own actions, it may be too biased to justify abstention by the federal courts even if its actions are considered adjudicative"]; Friedman & Gaylord (1999) Rooker-Feldman, From the Ground Up, 74 Notre Dame L. Rev. 1129, 1132 ["there is sufficient basis for questioning whether a state's highest court can provide the dispassionate resolution that ought to be required when no other judicial review commonly occurs"].
There are also equal-protection arguments that haven't been tried. (http://tinyurl.com/aeuv3s)

If you don't understand the legal doctrine of the Younger abstention. Keep quiet. Granting a motion to dismiss can be overcome if the Defense Bar would file prior to an NDC being filed.

WILMINGTON — A homeowner group has won a battle against the proposed construction of a high-density apartment complex in the most recent in a string of successful community activist efforts in Wilmington.
After staunch community opposition to the project at a preliminary hearing in September, the Los Angeles Planning Commission voted unanimously last week to deny a zoning change needed to construct the 189-unit apartment development in east Wilmington.
Planning officials said the proposal was "out of character" with the adjacent low-density neighborhood and "contrary to community desires." Although the Planning Commission's decision could be appealed, the developer said he has not decided whether to do that.
300 Signed Petitions
"I think the community was heard," said Peter Mendoza, president of the Wilmington Home Owners, which helped draw about 50 people to the preliminary hearing and garnered 300 signatures in opposition to the development.

Topic: Trying for 1 more
Hi Everyone,
My biological children are now 5 and 8. I've also been raising my 6 year old nephew for the past 1.5 years and am in the process of adopting him...I currently have permanent guardianship of him because of my sister's death and his absent drug addicted father. I've decided that I really want one more biological child, so I'm going to start trying in July.
I saw my RE a week ago and all my testing came out great. I have two vials of my daughter's donor left and would to have a full sibling for her. So I'm going to try with those vials first. We are going to try what worked last time, so Clomid, Trigger Shot, IUI procedure, and Progesterone.
I'm very excited to be joining this side of the forum again. I just started taking my basal body temperature and purchased a box of ovulation kits so I can track my cycle a bit better.

5 Ways To Turn Stress Into Productivity
1. Use The Advantage Technique
Being productive while feeling stressed out is not the easiest thing to do, but it can be easy when you use what is known as the advantage technique. This technique is easy to use, but you will need to use it on a daily basis, or at least every single time you are stressed out. All this technique consists of is thinking of the advantages of doing each task that you need to complete, regardless of how small or large the task is. For example, if you have plans to be productive and workout later on in the day, then you should start thinking about how you will feel after you workout. If you have to do the dishes, then you can think about how nice the water feels on your hands when you do the dishes, or you can think about how nice it is to do an activity that doesn't require much thinking.
The advantage technique can be used all the time, and the more you use it, the more productive you will be, even when you are highly stressed out.
2. Get Away And Do Your Tasks
If you have work that you can do from a computer, then go and get away for a few days and complete your work from the computer. You can simply go a few cities over and stay in a hotel for a few days, and make sure that you set aside some time for yourself to do little things such as shopping or just walking around the city, and then get your work done. You may not be too far from home, but you will feel as if you are on a mini vacation, and this could end up making it easier to be productive, even if you are under a lot of stress.
Also, it is worth pointing out that you can just getaway for the day or two, and set aside a fun activity that will make you productive, such as hiking, fishing and so forth. If you do this, then you will be able to relax and be productive at the same time.
Question About Stress And Productivity
Does stress affect your productivity?
3. Exercise
You have heard it at least once in your lifetime, and that is to exercise when you are feeling stressed out. Even if you do not feel like exercising, the chances are once you start, you will end up feeling better and you will go on to have a great exercise session. If you feel extremely stressed out, then you should start off by going for a walk, and then after walking for a few minutes, start jogging a little bit. Once you have jogged for a few minutes, see if you can do a little bit of running. You will be surprised at how less stressed out you will feel after you exercise, especially if you walk, jog or run.
Not only will exercise help keep your productive while you are stressed, but you will also be getting into shape. The more exercise you do, the less stressed out you will feel and the more productive you will be. The next time you are under stress, you should take a few minutes out of your day and exercise.
5. Meditate Or Do Yoga Before Tackling A Task
If you are feeling stressed out and you have tasks that you need to complete, then one good way to turn your stress into productivity is to meditate or do yoga before you tackle your tasks. Set aside about 20-30 minutes to do yoga or to meditate, and then get right into your task/tasks. You will feel relaxed and less stressed, thus you should be able to complete your tasks much easier. However, if you feel too relaxed, and you feel like resting, then force yourself to not nap, and make yourself do the tasks that you need to do. If you do not have any tasks or errands to do, then go for a walk after you have meditated or have done yoga, as this is still being productive. The more you do yoga or meditate, the more motivated you will be to do things.
4.Stop Rushing To Complete Tasks
One of the reasons why people tend to stress themselves out is because they feel obligated to rush in order to complete certain tasks. Some tasks may have a time limit, and if that is the case, then simply do your best to stay calm and complete the task. However, if a task does not have a specific time when it needs to be completed, then simply do not rush, but still work on the task until it is completed. Some tasks that may have a specific due date will likely be work-related tasks, while tasks that you must complete at home will likely not have a due date, but you give yourself a time limit anyways. Do not give yourself time constraints unless it is absolutely necessary. When you give yourself unnecessary time constraints, then you will likely not get the things you need to get done, done.
Short Video About Relieving Stress
Check The Video To The Right
The video to the right is a short clip that shows you how to relieve stress, as well as how to increase your happy hormones. It is worth watching.
There are many ways to turn your stress into productivity, but if you are looking for the best ways, then make sure to choose one of the ways discussed in this article. The worse thing you can do is nothing at all, because if you are not productive, then you will not get anything done.
I have used the advantages technique and the avoidance of putting excessive deadlines when stressed. It really helps to look at whether the deadlines I am facing are self-imposed, or if they are there because of external factors. I often find that they are self-imposed, and that I have made a choice to take on more than I can handle in an effort to please others or to make myself look good. When that happens, I have to back up and back out, if necessary.

The overall responsibility for the efficient and high quality operation of elementary, middle or high schools falls to the school supervisor. Most states require that you hold a master's degree. Licensure is mandatory for all public school supervisors.
Essential Information
School supervisors (school principals) are in charge of the daily operations of schools. They are responsible for managing teachers, students, and all other school faculty members in a school. Many school supervisors start out as teachers and move up into administrative roles within the school. The most common requirement for school supervisors is a master's degree in education administration or education leadership. It is also required for prospective school supervisors to obtain a state license in school supervision.

School Supervisor Job Description
School supervisors (also called school principals) are managers in charge of the day-to-day operations of kindergarten through 12th grade schools. They must manage teachers, coaches, librarians, counselors, support staff and other employees.
The current trend is for decision-making authority to decentralize from school district offices to the supervisors of individual schools. Therefore, school supervisors must be aware of concerns from parents, teachers and the community at large. They meet with community representatives and organizers as well as parent and teacher groups. School supervisors must have excellent communication skills.
The student body may be quite diverse, and some students may not speak English; therefore, the supervisor must be sensitive to each student's needs. Supervisors may also have to deal with overcrowding as enrollment outpaces growth.
School Supervisor Job Duties
Job duties include preparing budgets, developing academic programs, establishing performance goals and objectives for the school and for teachers and keeping records. A school supervisor may also monitor students' progress, keep teachers trained and motivated, formulate mission statements, visit classrooms to evaluate teaching methods and provide performance standards for teachers and other employees. They prepare reports on student attendance and performance.
School supervisors or principals are also responsible for making sure the school adheres to local, state and federal education standards. Often this includes overseeing annual or semi-annual testing as well as preparing reports on students' performances and initiating test preparation for students and teachers. Supervisors are also responsible for disciplining students.
School Supervisor Job Requirements
Education Requirements
A common career path for school supervisors is to begin by teaching. Some teachers move directly into administrative positions, but others move up to assistant principal or another administrative position within a school before transitioning to school supervisor.
School supervisors typically hold a master's degree in education administration or education leadership, which is often required for licensure as a school administrator. They may also hold a specialized degree in education administration or a doctorate in a similar field. In some private schools, a master's degree is not required to be a school supervisor, though candidates should have at least a bachelor's degree in education.
Obtaining a state license in school supervision typically requires a master's degree and may require passing a specialized examination. Principals in private schools are typically not required to hold a state license.
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
2015 information provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported an annual median salary of $90,410, for elementary and secondary education administrators. According to the BLS, elementary, middle and high school principals could look forward to average job growth of 6%, from 2014-2024.
Often beginning as a teacher, most school supervisors advance to that ultimate position by obtaining a master's degree in leadership or education administration. You'll need a license in order to become a principal at a public school, though not necessarily at a private school. Employment opportunities for school supervisors are expected to increase about as fast as the national average for all occupations.
