Men and Earrings
There is a strong cultural reaction against tattoos and earrings, especially amongst fortysomethings. The emphasis this generation places on such expressions of personal decoration is that of rebellion. In the eyes of these folks, one is bound to a certain cultural code of propriety that is determined by highbrow society. Failure to meet this code signals rebellion. In the eyes of my generation, however, such decorations are expressions of individuality, and are neither right nor wrong. They simply are. If one chooses to have a tattoo, and so express oneself, fine. If one chooses not to, fine. Neither individual is rebelling. Both are simply expressing themselves.
This may sound scarily like postmodern thought, and perhaps it is. But I would argue that the area of aesthetics has received some helpful input from postmodernism, and that the church would do well to recognize that. Not that everything postmodernism signifies has been helpful--not by a long shot. But the open-mindedness of postmodernism, while deadly to religion, is actually helpful and welcome with bodily expression. I do not advocate that people should disregard cultural standards, though. Far be it from me to say that. I would merely say that there is room for personal expression within conformity to social standards. One should not buck the system altogether, for to do so is rebellious, but one may certainly live by one's taste and not the personal nuances of others. To my generation, then, I would say this: broadly conform but personally tailor. That's my starting point. I see in it not rebellion but expression, and that makes all the difference.

By Kate McGregor
Whenever the discussion of alternative energy comes up, inevitably, so does the name Robert Wilder. Wilder, founder and ceo of Wildershares, is the mastermind behind two clean energy indices, the WilderHill Clean Energy Index (ECO) and the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index (NEX). But Wilder has some good news and some bad news for hedge fund managers eager to take advantage of the sector's growth.
The bad news is that it is unlikely that Wilder will attach his name to a hedge fund any time soon. The recent spike in interest among hedge fund managers and the investment community in general is making Wilder, who has a Ph.D. in environmental policy, a little anxious. "It's a bit of a caution flag that so many hedge funds want to move into the area," he said via phone (Wilder was speaking from a cabin in Southern California that is being updated with additional wiring to harness solar energy).
"Hedge funds are nimble and exciting and reflect the very recent interest in clean energy, which is all good. But part of me fears the passion of the crowd."
Wilder maintains that it is essential for him to remain neutral, particularly as new sub-sectors, such as renewable energy, crop up.
"My function as an index provider and as an academic is to be very objective about the sector. And this sector can drop like a rock," he said.
On a positive note, Wilder is in the process of creating new indices with his partner in the NEX, London-based New Energy Finance. The indices will be specific to select geographic regions, specifically in Asia and Europe. Wilder notes that most of the activity in clean energy is happening outside of the U.S. "We want to capture that," he said.
When NEX launched in January, the pool of publicly traded stocks available to choose from numbered a couple hundred (NEX tracks 86 stocks that operate in nine sectors, among them power storage, renewable energy, hydrogen and fuel cells. It is up 14% since inception and had a market capitalization of $248 billion as of July 27).
Bozkurt Aydinoglu, founder and director of New Energy Finance, speculates that the number has increased dramatically. "Since the time we launched the index, stocks have proliferated, and with interest increasing, there should be many more public stocks," Aydinoglu said. "Given this, there should be an opportunity to construct many geographical indices. In next few months, it is quite reasonable to expect different indices dedicated to Europe and Asia."
Not Only An Index, But A Way Of Life
For Wilder, investing in a clean energy is not simply a smart financial strategy; it is also a way of life. Wilder, who describes himself as a goofy environmental policy academic, lives with his wife and two children outside of San Diego, Calif., in a home run entirely on solar energy. He is also in the process of converting a Mini-Mach 1, Australia's version of the British Mini Cooper, into a hybrid that runs on solar energy and ethanol.
"Minis are very light; lightness very important to me," he said. "The whole car seats four people and weighs 1500 pounds." While all this might sound a little off-the-grid for the average American, Wilder, whose family was just featured on Animal Planet, maintains that he embodies the all-American dream: He is married with two children and lives in a home with a swimming pool (albeit solar-powered), a garden (albeit organic) and a big-screen television. "None of us are freezing to death in the dark," he said with a laugh.
Wilder also emphasizes that this is not political. "It's not liberal, left-wing, not republican right wing," he said.
While finishing his Ph.D. in the early 1990s, he discovered areas of clean energy that made sense, so he cashed in his pension and began buying stock in companies that made "green sense." When he realized that it is "very difficult to second guess the market," he hatched the ECO index in 2004, which was based on Josh Landess' Hydrogen Fuel Cell Index.
Landess helped co-create the ECO index. That index, which consists of 40 domestically listed stocks, became the PowerShares Wilderhill Clean Energy ETF in March 2005. There is an exchange traded fund in the works based on the NEX, and Wilder and Aydinoglu said they receive calls daily from parties interested in creating products based on the index.

An independent survey has concluded that new mobile phone masts in Newcastle meet international safety guidelines.
The city council commissioned the research after residents in West Denton contacted their MP Doug Henderson.
They were concerned at possible health hazards from the mast - particularly on Denton Park House and Hill Top House.
As a result, a survey was conducted by Dr Andrew Mackie, an expert on mobile phone radiation and possible health risks, who works as a public analyst in Edinburgh. He monitored radiation levels at 80 separate locations, including 19 points at Beach Hill School and a number of flats and houses within the multi-storey buildings.
He was accompanied by at least one local resident, who had complained to Mr Henderson, and the team manager of the environmental and safety unit at Newcastle City Council.
Mr Henderson said: "I have been told that the results show that, save for the roofs of the buildings in close proximity of the antennae, or adjacent to the screen of operating television sets, emissions levels were below the lower reading limit of the instrument used.
"Once I have received the full report from Dr Mackie I will be circulating it to residents.
"The report shows that the emissions as well below international safety standards.
"If the experts have got it wrong there might be problems but Dr Mackie's report says that, according to those standards, the masts are OK.
"Its up the residents to make their owns minds up on the basis of the report."

Laredo - They're among the city's and region's brightest minds, but they have something in common: they're enrolling this Fall at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU).
This Fall, the University has successfully attracted salutatorians and valedictorians from eight city and area high schools, a record TAMIU administrators say.
Gina González, TAMIU director of Recruitment and School Relations, said she believes this is indicative of the quality programs, scholarships and learning experience the regional University offers for all students.
"We welcome all students to our campus and pride ourselves on the diversity of students we assemble here. This group of students is truly exemplary and forms a student core that will impact our programs and our campus in many ways," González said.
On average, the students are receiving four-year scholarship packages totaling $16,000 or $4000 per year and are also participating in University honors programs such as the D. D. Hachar Program, Sanchez Scholars or President's Scholars.
The students and their high schools are:
Alexander High School
Daniel Flores- Salutatorian
Bruni High School
Diana Lynette Soto - Salutatorian
Carrizo Springs High School
Eliezer Castaneda- Salutatorian
Hebbronville High School
Eric Montalvo- Valedictorian (photo)
Lyndon B. Johnson High School
Delta Pantoja- Valedictorian (photo)
Martin High School
Rodolfo Morales- Salutatorian
Oscar Widales- Valedictorian
Nixon High School
Valerie M. Martínez- Salutatorian
Zapata High School
Crystal Bustamante- Valedictorian
Eric Montalvo, Hebbronville High School valedictorian and soon to be TAMIU chemistry major, said information provided by a TAMIU dean was critical in his decision.
"I was interested in TAMIU from the beginning but, when Dr. Humberto González (TAMIU Dean, College of Education) went to talk at my school for our National Honor Society ceremonies, he gave us a lot of information about TAMIU. When he talked about the pre-dental program that TAMIU offered, that's when I knew that I wanted to go to TAMIU," Montalvo said.
Montalvo, the first in his family to seek a Bachelor's degree, said he is looking forward to broadening his self.
"What I'm really looking forward to is broadening myself as a person by learning new things, meeting new people, and learning about new cultures," he said.
Dr. González said students like Montalvo elevate the entire campus experience for all students.
"These students are clearly remarkable minds, but we find they're also remarkably giving, often working with other students in mentoring or other role-modeling capacities to help others. We believe they add an exemplary element that enriches our campus and all our students," González noted.
Fall registration continues through Tuesday, Aug. 30 and classes start Wednesday, Aug. 24. Tuition and fees are due Tuesday, Aug. 23.
An Open House will be held Thursday, Aug. 11 from 6 - 8 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom, room 203. Information will be available on admission requirements, financial aid, graduate programs, degrees and catalog.

It talks!
Nidal Hasan says he wants to be his own lawyer, and his defense will be that he murdered his fellow soldiers to prevent the deaths of members of the Taliban.
"He who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer" Abraham Lincoln.
From FOXNews June 4
Judge wants details of Fort Hood suspect's defense strategy before decision on trial delay
FORT HOOD, Texas – A judge says she won't decide whether to delay the Fort Hood shooting suspect's trial until he provides evidence to support his defense strategy — and she might not accept it.
Maj. Nidal Hasan said Tuesday his defense will explain that he killed 13 people in the 2009 shooting rampage because soldiers were about to deploy to Afghanistan. He says he was trying to prevent the imminent death of Taliban fighters.
A "defense of others" strategy requires defendants to prove they killed a person or people to protect others from immediate danger or death.
Hasan, who's representing himself at his murder trial, is seeking a three-month delay. The judge may rule Wednesday, delaying jury selection until at least Monday.
He faces the death penalty or life without parole if convicted.

Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
Thanks for updating me Corinne and doing an awesome job keeping this thread going!
Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
aww shucks. thanks. At least I'm keeping up with something. the weight loss part sucks. I am going no where. :(
Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
I am 149.5 today and hopefully will continue to go down, not up!
Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
Trust me I know the feeling. I've been stuck around 170 for the past month. I did awesome at first, lost 10 pounds in about 3 weeks, and now I'm just sitting here. :( Never too late to turn it around though! Yesterday was too busy with trick or treating and what not, so planning on doing JM's body revolution Day 2 workout this afternoon. Was tired this morning and in a bad mood so ate 2 egg sandwiches, but corrected it and had some roast beef and a salad for lunch and have a pot roast in the oven and am planning on pairing that with some fried cabbage and carrots and another salad. Every good choice you can make is one step ahead!
Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
You're my inspiration Kimmie! I'm hoping I can finally break into the 160's and stay there too!
Oh, also wanted to add on to the motivation tips conversation from last month, that another awesome way to keep the motivation up is to look at the Success stories forum on MFP. Definitely makes me want to kick it up into a higher gear to have results worthy of posting on there!
Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread
I have fallen off the healthy wagon and seriously need to get back on it. I think I worked out maybe 3 times in October. I was doing so well with the eating and then my bday, lunches with family, hotel stays all happened.
My plan is that I'm going to start eating better NOW. and next week I will go back to running and lifting. I'm going to make myself do it. I need to
So this is my new UN. Old one was (TaReeses).
After a whole year I have started my first pp AF. No wonder I was craving all that junk food. Feeling super bloated and really don't want to weigh In tomorrow. On the bright side, we can TTC for baby #2 yay! (hopefully lose a little more weight before that happens.

Re: The 25lb Challenge November thread

From IDW Publishing.
A high-action, supernatural western that centers around a pact of vengeance sworn by a tragically orphaned Gypsy girl, an ex-slave with no soul, and a carnival freak billed as the Human Wolf. Gaining strength and courage from each other, they set off across the Old West — in search of the three hideous, inhuman entities that caused their torment and haunt their lives.

Stairlift VAT & Grants
Before buying a stairlift do check to see if you are eligible to receive a grant....
The Disabled Facilities Grant is a local council grant which helps towards the cost of adapting your home (including the installation of stairlift) to enable you to continue to live there.
A grant is only paid when the council considers that changes are necessary to meet your needs, and that the work is reasonable and practical.
Visit the Direct.Gov website to find out more information about eligibility and the types of adaptations available to you. Alternatively, contact your Local Authority.
Applying for a grant can be a lengthy process, so if you do require a stairlift fast then it may not be the option for you.
Not eligible for a Grant or need a stairlift quick? then you may be entitled to VAT exemption on the stairlift purchase....
Products designed or adapted for a disability qualify. For example, certain types of:
+ Adjustable beds
+ Stairlifts
+ Wheelchairs
+ Medical appliances to help with severe injuries
+ Alarms
+ Braille paper or low vision aids - but not spectacles or contact lenses
+ Motor vehicles - or the leasing of a motability vehicle
building work like ramps, widening doors, installing a lift or toilet
How to get the product VAT free
To get the product VAT free your disability has to qualify. For VAT purposes, you're disabled or have a long-term illness if:
+ You have a physical or mental impairment that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities, for example blindness
+ You have a condition that's treated as chronic sickness, like diabetes
+ You're terminally ill
You don't qualify if you're elderly but able-bodied, or if you're temporarily disabled.

Happy Friday everyone! Spring has sprung here after a last blast from Winter on Tuesday. Thanks to our hostesses as always! Here's what's going on this Friday:
1. Good Friday
It is indeed Good Friday and being raised Catholic in an Italian family it's a big tradition to do a fish dinner. So we'll be feasting on fried clams, haddock, garlic pizza and spaghetti with red sauce and tuna (which sounds gross but my mom makes it and it is delish!!) I love having these traditions and it always brings me back to childhood. After dinner tonight Bri and I will be heading to our friends' house for a poker-themed 30th birthday party. One of my oldest friends (I've known him since kindergarten!) is turning 30. I still can't believe we're turning 30 this year.
2. This dinner
We made this last night and it was the perfect Spring-night dinner! So easy to make and the salad was so fresh-tasting. Plus we got to break in the grill for the season. It reminds me that summer is on the way.
3. Easter Brunch
We're going to brunch on Sunday with my parents and grandparents which I am looking forward to – but I am even MORE excited because it will be where my bridal shower is being held in September! I just found out a couple weeks ago where my girls were planning to have it – the rest stays a surprise. But the food at Gentile's is unbelievable so I know they will do a great job.
4. Tucker
I just love our pup. Bri and I were saying last night that it feels as if he is our child. We've only had him for 6 months but he's such a good dog and I am so happy we could rescue him from the horrible situation he was in. Here he is sunbathing on our deck Wednesday even though there was still snow on it and it was 30 degrees out!
5. Thankful
As I was writing this I received a very sweet email from my future mother in law – she told us she finally had time to look and read through our wedding website and she just said some of the sweetest things. I am so lucky, blessed and grateful that I get to marry in to that family and she has been such a blessing in my life and someone I look up to greatly.

Tuff Spun Plus anti-fatigue matting, from Plastic Extruders Ltd, is highlighting trip hazards and providing comfort underfoot at Anglo Normandy Aeroengineering in Guernsey.
Anglo Normandy Aeroengineering is an aircraft maintenance and repair facility which provides services to private and air taxi operators. Due to the large areas of open space resulting in longs runs of power and compressor cables, the company needed to find a matting for laying over them to prevent tripping. This would not only minimise risks but also provide comfort for technicians standing for long periods on the concrete floor.
The solution was to install Tuff Spun Plus, a good value matting designed to reduce standing fatigue and provide some slip resistance. The yellow edging also delineates safety areas and walkways. Tuff Spun Plus is a single composition of closed cell PVC foam with a ribbed slip resistant surface for light duty use.The matting is 91cm wide and available in 18m long rolls or in the three module sizes of 60 x 91cm, 150 x 91cm and 300 x 91cm. All rolls and modules are supplied with sealed bevelled edges as standard to reduce tripping.

Emily's Freehand Painted Ikat Walls
I'm a big fan of patterned walls — I've even tried my own hand at a few projects. I've always stuck to using a stencil but Emily freehand painted the ikat pattern on her walls ... and with great results!
As Emily documents on her blog, Merrypad, she thought the inherently imperfect nature of the ikat pattern would be a perfect way to try freehand painting rather than using a stencil. She did a trial run on paper and then, after taping off her wall (because even thought it's freehand, it's not willy-nilly!), Emily got to work making the diamond pattern in a repeat on the walls. After the first coat dried, Emily went back and re-positioned the tape and filled in the blank spots with even more of the pattern, achieving a consistent all over look.
The project is spread over two posts over on Merrypad — Can A Girl Paint Ikat? and Ikat Experimentation: Our Finished Closet

There are many theories how these vertical structures were created, one of them was that a forest of Moonah trees was smothered by a sand dune and water seeping through the sand creating a crust around decaying trunks, other theories appear more plausible due to the very dense arrangement of vertical trunk like structures. Today it is believed that the vertical structures are solution pipes, a result of chemicals, wind, rain, and seeping water.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.

Corporation Tax: trading losses: general: relief for losses carried forward: inclusion of interest & dividends in trading income
CTA10/S46, CTA09/S1285, CTA09/Part9A
A company may be unable to use loss relief under CTA10/S45 because it has insufficient trading income. If so, interest or dividends which would have been treated as trading receipts but for the fact that they are charged to CT under other provisions may be included in trading income. For interest and dividends generally see BIM40800+.
This extension of the meaning of trading income applies only to dividends and interest within the charge to CT. It does not apply to dividends from UK companies because such dividends are not chargeable to CT. However the extension does apply to building society interest received. Whether or not bank deposit interest can be treated as trading income for the purposes of the extension is covered in BIM40801.

Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a fair princess named Ariel. She had a human resources job that kept her very busy. She worked hard and earned a good salary. Princess Ariel wasn't a spendthrift, but could spend money on whatever she wanted without worry. She never gave grocery shopping much thought. She planned her menus around what she wanted to eat. When shopping, Princess Ariel was never inconvenienced—she always frequented the closest store.
As Princess Ariel traipsed through the Fairy Land supermarket, she didn't have a care in the world.
I'll buy some organic fruits and veggies, she thought.
Ariel never considered how much she might need between grocery trips. She was interested in variety rather than whether the produce or meat would go bad before being eaten.
Portobello mushrooms, bagged pre-washed lettuce and cut-up fruit! Princess Ariel never washed or chopped anything that could be purchased prepared.
"I'll take some steak," she told the butcher "and some chicken breasts and shrimp, too." This princess never worried about meat prices.
She bought hummus, bruschetta and almond butter. Brand-name ice cream, yogurt and little pudding cups, too. Prepared sauces and some mixes rounded out her cart.
Princess Ariel never thought about whether these items tasted better than more mundane ones. She never considered making her own sauces or puddings from scratch or whether that might improve the taste. Princesses don't have to worry their pretty little heads over such things.
"Do you have any coupons?" the cashier politely asked.
"Uh, no. I don't do coupons," Princess Ariel replied. "They're kind of a pain."
And, through it all Princess Ariel never realized she was spending more than $400 per month on food for one person. She never had a clue that more than $500 in restaurant charges meant she was eating $1,000 per month.
What the heck was I thinking?
Pantry: Empty.
Wallet: Likewise.
Hi, my name's Ariel, and I'm a recovering princess.
These days with more time than money, I work the supermarket ads, visit more than one store for the best deals, collect coupons, compare store-brand prices to couponed national brands and—most importantly—think, think, THINK while shopping. I buy whole foods and make recipes from scratch (ironically, it takes only minutes longer).
Food whims now match whatever is on sale. Well, I've at least learned to make them match.
No more packaged items in this princess-turned-Cinderella's cart. I'm eating high-quality food—fresh meats, fresh and frozen veggies and produce, dairy and eggs. If truth be told, I'm eating far better quality food than when I just pitched the easiest items into the cart.
With mere extra minutes of work, I wash and tear-up lettuce, cut up veggies and make pasta sauce and other items from scratch. My food tastes better and costs less.
Seriously, have you ever compared the taste of bagged lettuce to head lettuce? No comparison.
When I was a child, "treats" were reserved for rare occasions. Mom and I walked (yes, I said walked) to the local bakery for one strawberry cupcake—not a whole dozen. If I behaved while shopping (which didn't always happen), Mom bought us a small box of chocolate-covered peanuts to share. Ice cream, steak and sweets were only consumed on birthdays and national holidays. Soda was only available at Granny and Grandpa's house—and, even then in a tiny four-ounce glass. Eating out—a very rare treat.
Even while still working, I realized there were no special treats. I ate out almost daily. I bought any food (or anything else) that I wanted, whenever I wanted. Steak meant it was Wednesday, not Memorial Day. Ice cream meant it was 8 PM, not July Fourth. Soda meant I'm awake, not at Grandpa's house. Nothing was special in those days.
I've rediscovered the simple joy of The Treat again. Ice cream, nuts, portabella mushrooms and expensive cuts of meat are special (when on sale) again. There's one steak left in the freezer just waiting for a special occasion to make its long-awaited appearance.
Now that summer has arrived, this recovering-princess has a bit of dirt under my nails and sweat on my brow most days. I don't need store-bought lettuce or herbs anymore. And, soon I won't need those $2.99 per pound tomatoes either. I'm growing my own in containers on the patio.
Last night's dinner: Pizza and salad made from home-grown oregano and arugula.
Today's lunch: Chicken with homegrown rosemary and sage.
Both: Delicious!
I just made this season's first trip to the local farm's produce stand. I got two grocery bags full of produce for $10.
Last month's grocery bill: only $149.91. Eating out has become a rare treat—usually when Mom and Dad are buying.
Fruit tastes sweeter. Veggies are fresher. Food is healthier. I have even lost a few pounds.
This recovering princess has rediscovered the joy of The Treat.
Life on the dole may just be the best thing that ever happened to my wallet, waistline and maybe even my soul.

In the beginning, BREXIT was barely in the news and no one expected it would ever come to pass. Which explains why the former Prime Minister, David Cameron, staked his political career on it. On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Theresa May has invoked the now popular European Law – Article 50. Where does BREXIT leave the British people 9 months after they voted to leave their 44-year relationship with the EU?
PM Theresa May is now saddled with the task of leading the British delegation to hold talks with their EU counterparts. One should not fail to note that there would be the small matter of an election for the PM seat. PM Theresa May says the elections would be necessary. so whoever wins would be in a good position to carry on with BREXIT negotiations. Of course, she stands the best chance to win the seat and no longer be seen as an Acting PM. It is expected that the real talks will begin sometime in May/June and end in the autumn of 2018. Here is where preliminary talks are going thus far.
When a member of the European Union (EU) invokes Article 50, which became law in 2009 after the treaty of Lisbon, a 2-year window period is allowed for negotiations. If at the end of that period, no agreement is reached for an extension, the country that seeks to exit the EU automatically exits. In the case of BREXIT, if this happens, then BREXIT Day would be Friday, March 29, 2019.
Since the Treaty of Lisbon became law in 2009, no country has asked to exit the union. This explains part of the shock that BREXIT was triggered by the British. What this means is that BREXIT will be the case study as there is no precedence. While the European Council President, Donald Tusk, is keeping the faith that Article 50 can be reversed, PM Theresa May is tough on her stance that there would be no turning back. In theory, it is possible to make a U-turn, but the reality is that politics would not allow it. PM Theresa May is expected to win the next general elections on June 8, 2017, based on her stance on the issue. It seems highly unlikely that she would do a U-turn on an issue that is expected to put her in power.
Once there is no U-turn, BREXIT will come into play by the expiration of the 2-year period or an agreement reached with the EU. Life after BREXIT means that Britain will now be governed by World Trade Organization rules. They can make trade deals with other nations without any recourse to the EU. No one knows what the future would look like for Britain after BREXIT but now that it has been triggered, the ball has started rolling.

How Can We Tell?
A comment on a recent blog asked the question: "How can we tell God when He comes?"
We can tell by the ultimate effects of the experience.
Jesus said, "'each tree is known by its own fruit.'" Luke 6:44a (NRSV)
"'No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit'" Luke 6:43 (NRSV)
So if a spiritual experience has bad or damaging effects then the chances are it is coming from an evil source, perhaps even an evil source disguised as good.
But if the effects of the experience are all good then it is coming from God.

Our education establishment is a minefield of attempts to control what students think and say. Take the harmless-sounding "dispositions theory," for example.
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) says ed schools and programs must require teachers in training to demonstrate the "dispositions necessary to help all students learn," such as a commitment to social justice. Everyone is for social justice, but it's odd that would-be teachers would have to convince their professors of such commitment before getting to teach. Since ed schools are essentially a liberal monoculture, conservative and moderate students concluded that their political opinions were being probed and that they were being asked to endorse the belief systems of their programs as the price of being allowed to teach. The Fordham Foundation posted an article by William Damon opposing the dispositions requirement, saying that his article gave credence to charges of ideological arm-twisting and Orwellian mind control.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) entered the case and got action. FIRE complained to the Department of Education that there is no way an ed school can evaluate a student's commitment to social justice without evaluating that student's politics. NCATE backed down and agreed to drop the social justice requirement.
"Dispositions" is not the only slippery term circulating in the world of teacher training. Another is "cultural competence," which appears just as harmless. Oregon defines "cultural competence" as a "commitment to social justice and equity." "Equity" is a code word for affirmative action, preferences, and other diversity programs. But Oregon goes on to explain in plain English that "cultural competence" means the acceptance of multiple worldviews, the management of difference, and "actively challenging the status quo and advocating for equity and social justice."
"For many, cultural competence is transformative and political," say the state standards, explicitly politicizing education. And what does cultural competence mean to an educator who wants to become a principal?
Phyllis Edmundson, dean of the graduate school of education at Portland State University, explained this clearly in the New York Times: "She might acknowledge that she is a beneficiary of privilege, a party to perpetuating institutional racism, an unconscious oppressor, and an imperfect exemplar of cultural responsiveness." No slippery language there. Just ideology being imposed on teachers.

For a Diamond Wedding Anniversary I created this card. I combined a few festive silver swirls, precious butterflies (precious cause of the beautiful paper) and a lot of real (!) diamonds. :-) I was a blockhead, had no idea about image etc. In my opinion butterflies aren´t the best choice. ;-) Whatever. It´s done and the recipients liked it!

The sunny days are here again, and it is time to start poring over advertisements, flyers, and brochures and browsing the Internet to find the best summer camp for your kid. Choosing a summer camp while balancing your finances can be a tricky job. But it will probably be trickier to find one that has the multitude and diversity of activities to wean your kid away from the phone, tablet, computer, television and the gaming console. And then there's always the challenge of persuading your kid to leave an environment that they feel most secure and comfortable in—their home and family. The tips given below should help you choose the best summer camp for your kid in Virginia.
Go Over the Activities List Thoroughly
Given that kids these days have more entertainment and recreation options to keep them indoors, camps in Virginia have added a plethora of new activities to attract the young ones. So when choosing a camp, you are likely to feel overwhelmed by the list of programs on offer.
But more is not always merrier. You have to choose a camp where the activities are after your child's heart or suit their temperament. For instance, if your kid is not very athletic, then you should not choose a camp where they will have to take part in a lot of sports. Depending on their interest, you opt for camps that organize art classes or cookery programs or teach about space science or magic.
If your kid has some special needs, you will have to look for camps in Virginia that cater to their requirements. These camps organize programs that kids with special needs can easily participate in and also have accommodation areas where they can be comfortable and safe.
Check the Staff Composition and their Credentials
After you have ensured that your kid can have a whale of a time at the summer camp, it is time for you to allay your concerns about their safety while they are away. While choosing a summer camp for your kid in Virginia, ensure that it is accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA). A camp with an ACA accreditation fulfills more than 300 stringent health, hygiene, and safety standards, and you can be sure that your kid will be absolutely safe while having fun.
Visit the Camp Before the Camp Starts
Every child is different. While some kids just can't wait to go off to a summer camp, some others feel jittery and may suffer from separation anxiety. To soothe your child's fears and get them excited about the camp, it is a good idea to take them to visit the camp before it starts. The counselor can explain what happens in the camp and maybe even show them photographs and/or videos of the place and the activities. Seeing other kids having fun as they take part in the activities they too enjoy, will comfort your child and make them look forward to camp.
Established in 1966, Camp Friendship has been an ACA accredited camp for many years. Camp Friendship has certified and experienced health personnel who reside on camp property. Most of our Junior Staff, ages 16-17, are former campers with great potential to be our junior staff members. Our Senior Counselors and Program Supervisors are college students and graduates with previous experience working with children in camps, schools or day care programs. Absolutely all candidates go through Federal Background Checks for any criminal history. The counselor to camper ratio is 1 to 4 in Junior Camp and 1 to 6 in Senior Camp. At Camp Friendship we are proud of having a high percentage of returning staff year after year.
Camp Friendship has a FAQ section for you so your questions can be conveniently answered all in one place. Also, if you would like to arrange a private tour of our camp, please contact us at 1-800-873-3223 or 434-589-8950. We would be happy to show you around!

Product Highlights
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
The MIC 550 Outdoor Day/Night Infrared PTZ Camera (NTSC, White) with two 850 nm, long-life, LED Infrared (IR) illuminators embedded in the camera head provide clear illumination for up to 197' (60 m) in total darkness, ensuring high quality images.
The camera features a 1/4" EXview CCD image sensor, 28x optical zoom, and a 3.5 to 9.8mm varifocal lens, and captures clear images at a resolution of up to 550 TVL. A minimum illumination of 0.0082 lux (ICR-ON mode) makes the camera suitable for surveillance at night.
The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function enables the camera to adjust to extreme lighting environments (marked by high-contrast and harsh backlit scenes) to capture clear images. In addition, a removable IR cut filter enables the PTZ camera to switch between color and B&W as per the changes in ambient lighting. Furthermore, the SensUp Control feature enhances sensitivity by automatically reducing the shutter speed to 1 sec. Equipped with an automatic gain control, this surveillance devices adjusts the signal strength to maintain a constant brightness level. Once the brightness level is controlled, the Sodium Vapor White Balance mode restores the original color of objects in the image.
Brushless motor technology enables smooth operation with 360° continuous pan rotation and 270° tilt control. This PTZ camera allows for small increment pan/tilt speeds ranging from 0.2°/sec to 120°/sec for accuracy. Its twist-lock on-site canting capability allows the camera to be installed upright, inverted, or canted (at a 45° angle) to achieve the perfect field of view.
Integrated Autoscaling (proportional zoom) and Autopivot features allow the camera to automatically rotate and flip, so that tracking a subject is effortless. With the innovative CTFID (Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices) feature, you can remotely change the camera's settings as well as update firmware. You can use the OSD (On-Screen Display) to quickly check critical parameters of the camera such as internal temperature and input voltage level, and verify if the dome is functioning within acceptable operating limits. In addition, the advanced built-in diagnostics ensure easy servicing and minimize downtime.
Privacy Masking allows you to mask 24 specific portions of a scene for security reasons, and up to 8 masks can be displayed on the same scene where each masked area can be programmed with 3, 4, or 5 corners to hide more complex shapes. Besides this, the camera lets you choose the mask color or blur a portion of the image.
The camera is well equipped to deliver uninterrupted surveillance under harsh conditions. An integrated silicone wiper and a reversible rain shield ensure that the camera will continue to capture of high-quality images regardless of the installed environment. In addition, the IP68-rated housing is vandal-resistant thanks to its solid aluminum construction and corrosion-resistant and waterproof coating (Alodine 5200). Should the camera be submerged underwater, the O-ring-sealing will enable it to function up to a depth of 3.3' (1m).
Two 850 nm, long-life, LED Infrared (IR) illuminators embedded in the camera head provide clear illumination for up to 197' (60 m) in total darkness, ensuring high quality images

Happy Monday everyone! Tomorrow is Canada Day and I am sure that a lot of people actually took today off! I actually have to make this post pretty quick because we have a busier day then normal ahead of us! While tomorrow is Canada Day, in our village we celebrate a day early! Tonight is our BBQ, parade, party and fireworks! I can't wait! While our town is small, it has HUGE Canadian spirit and our party is always legendary.
This weekend started out with a our traditional pizza for supper and then movie! Since Sam is still sleeping in our room and it doesn't have a way for us to watch him while he sleeps in there, we opted to watch the movie in our room! We decided to rent The Monuments Men! Before the movie was even half over, Ryan was beside me snoring away! I actually fought to stay awake but was able to keep my eyes open till the end! It was a pretty good movie!
Saturday we actually "slept in" which means 7 AM for us! Ha ha! But we all got ready, grabbed breakfast on the road and then went for our annual trip to the strawberry patch to pick our berries! The forecast was calling for a very hot day so we wanted to get this done as early as possible! I was a little worried about how long it would take us to pick our three baskets, as I had heard the berries were small and not as plentiful this year after a hard winter. Well that was not the case for the patch we were in! They placed Ryan and I in one row and we picked the same place but from either side. We only picked for about 20 minutes and we had all 3 baskets overflowing! The were so many berries!
It was Sam's first experience strawberry picking and he just sat in his stroller the whole time in the shade! I am sure next year will be much more difficult! Ha ha!
Since we were over in the Ontario side and close by to a couple of our best friends, we stopped by for a quick visit with Rebekka and Josh! We had a great visit under the shade! Now that the ferry is open it is so fast to drive over to see them and I am so looking forward to lots of visits this summer!
We hopped the ferry, cleaned up, fed Sam and then headed back on the road! It was only a short drive to a special birthday for little Mason! The adorable 1 year old had all his buddies over to help him celebrate his birthday! We had a delicious BBQ supper, snacks and of course cupcakes! There are a lot of little boys who were born to friends of Ryan and we all were laughing and imagining what life is going to be like in about 13 years! There are literally 7 little boys (including Sam) that are between the ages of 0-2, it is going to be so fun to watch them all together in years to come!
After such a busy day we were glad for our quiet night at home!
Sunday morning I left my boys at home and met two friends for an early breakfast! Amanda and Candace have been friends of mine for YEARS and I am so glad that we always try and make time in our busy lives to get together! It is always as if no time has passed and we can chat for hours! Unfortunately, I had to get back to a hungry baby but it was a great way to spend a Sunday morning!
"Oh dear, Daddy dressed me!"
The rest of the day we puttered away at things around the house! Ryan got his truck washed and I worked on cleaning my strawberries so that they are ready to be made into jam today!
We took a few hours yesterday afternoon to join other Canada Day Committee members to set up for the big festivities today!
The rest of the afternoon we relaxed, cooked a BBQ supper and got ready for a busy week ahead!
How was your weekend?

Quit saying, "you need to send me that picture!"
We built Group Album to be the dead simple way for multiple people to stream pics into a single album. No longer worry about collecting pics over sms, email, FB, or instagram, etc. With Group Album you start an album and stream pics with just the people you want. Also, when they share pics back, you feel as close as if they were in the same room!
It's great for any group activity but here's a few killer use cases:
Holidays - doesn't matter where your friends and family are spending the holidays you can all be together sharing and commenting on each other's photos. Showing off thanksgiving turkeys or opening Christmas presents will bring you all closer together.
Birthdays - not everyone can be there all the time, so keep them in the loop with the celebration.
Wedding - duh. A bunch of people coming together to celebrate... no brainer. Get rid of the disposable camera already!
Travel - We travel to tell stories and brag about where we've been. Group Album let's you tell a killer story by getting pics from everyone on the trip.
Kids - Are you tired of seeing so many pictures of everyone's kids on Facebook? Me too. But you know isn't tired of it? That kid's grandma, uncle, etc. Group Album let's you share more pictures of your favorite little bundles of cuteness with the people who ACTUALLY want to see them!

In the world we live in today, it's hard to imagine life without the presence of the mass media. The mass media in the past fifty years has gone from a national scale, to a global machine, echoing news from around the world at all times.
