Most folks equate American airport vicinity hotels with no-frills, crowded properties filled with throngs of harried flight attendants and hustled business executives. The Hyatt Place Los Angeles/LAX/El Segundo beats all expectations. The property boasts a sunlit lobby with water features, spacious communal dinning areas, and friendly staff to boot.
Guestrooms are well-planned to maximize a sense of spaciousness, and feature thoughtful decor and large windows that are a notch above the typical cookie-cutter Hyatt Place hotels that are starting to look like they could use a refresh.
The Hyatt Place fitness rooms are bare minimum, but at least the one in Hyatt Place Los Angeles/LAX/El Segundo looks out to the pool, which has lounge beds and tanning chairs to take advantage of the sunny year-round Southern California climes. A self-service business center at the side of the lobby rounds up the hotel amenities.

Is Hyatt The Pike Long Beach a Hyatt Regency? Or a Hyatt Place? It's neither and therein reposes its awkwardness. Formerly the AVIA Long Beach, rooms are more comfortable and well-decorated than a typical Hyatt Place. The centerpiece is a rotatable TV console, which allows viewing in the working and lounging alcoves of the room, as well as in the sleeping area.
The bathroom is especially spacious and the marble walls certainly add a touch of luxury.
In terms of facilities, it's a mixed bag with a beautiful rooftop pool but a paltry gym with but a few cardio machines and free weights. And unlike a Hyatt Place, there is no complimentary breakfast. Notwithstanding, Hyatt The Pike Long Beach is well placed for guests to enjoy the leisure options and commercial connectivity of the bustling port city of Southern California.
Filed under: Andaz, hotels, Hyatt, London, reviews | Tags: Andaz, Andaz Liverpool Street, Andaz Lndon, Hyatt, London
The Andaz Liverpool Street London is an enigma. And its many hallways hide a secret. For the unveiling of the secret, you may scroll to the final paragraph now. But first about the enigma.
The Andaz is Hyatt's collection of mod, boutique hotels where guests will find no stodgy check-in desks, where social spaces mesh seamlessly one into another, where hosts welcome guests on iPads, and where guests can help themselves without charge to an enticing spectrum of beverages and hors d'œuvre and wine to welcome the evening. For all its modernity and fresh, contemporary vibe, the Andaz Liverpool Street (Hyatt's first Andaz) is housed in a magnificent redbrick Victorian building dating back to 1884. In fact, before Hyatt purchased the building in 2008, it once housed the Great Eastern Hotel, one of the original London railway hotels. The confluence of modernity and history, of mod lighting and chandeliers, and of technology and tradition, is part of what makes a stay at the Andaz Liverpool London so special.
The top-notch service is another reason. The draping of soft bath towels over heated towel bars in the bathroom is a perfect example of the hotel's service level. The bewildering array of complimentary in-room beverages from carbonated and still Llanllyr water, Breckland Orchard fruit-flavored refreshments, Schweppes lemonades, Coke, Diet Coke,tea from The East India Company, and more, is another. Toiletries are from London's Plantation. The guestroom has everything that even the most fussy guest would want, and more.
For all its impressive amenities, the gym was disappointing. While it is spacious, the variety of equipment is limited. Multi-function stations (and the gym has just one) simply do not provide the same precision and adequacy of training that purpose-built dedicated stations do. And for a property of such caliber, one would expect a more well-equipped gym. This is an area I hope the hotel management can improve on.
And now for the secret. During renovations of the Great Eastern Hotel in 1990, workers came across a false wall. When the false wall was demolished, a hidden Masonic Temple revealed itself–marble flooring, mahogany walls, leather thrones, and all. Urban legends surrounding this Masonic Temple abound. The most disturbing perhaps is that as the neighborhood was thought to be one of Jack the Ripper's haunts, and as the notorious serial killer was thought to be a Mason, he may have socialized in the temple. Today, the Andaz Liverpool Street makes the room available for events rental. Ask an Andaz host, and if they are not too busy, you might just be given a private tour.
Filed under: hotels, Hyatt, Indonesia | Tags: Borobudur, Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Java, Yogyakarta
The best asset of the Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta is its staff, who are ever smiling and who exude warm, cheerful service. The grounds are verdant and well-maintained. But its age is starting show in the frayed corners, mouldy baths in the spa, and visible wear-and-tear on the facilities.
The rooms are spartan by Hyatt standards. There is no alarm clock in sight, access to the shower is via a precarious climb into the steep bath, and the in-room safe is so shallow that it can accommodate only one laptop. Cold, austere tiles overlay the flooring.
The expansive swimming pools, surrounded by lush gardens and an abundance of deck chairs, somewhat offset the austere guest accommodations.
Taking inspiration from Borobudur, Indonesia's most visited monument, which is about an hour by car from the hotel, the outdoor lounge area is flanked by charming Koi ponds with miniature stupas.
The Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta is probably the city's most luxurious hotel, but by global Hyatt standards, there is certainly room for improvement, and an infrastructure upgrade is urgently needed.
Filed under: holiday, hotels, Hyatt, reviews, USA | Tags: Hyatt, Hyatt Grand Champions, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Regency Indian Wells, Indian Wells, Palm Springs
Nestled in the Coahcella Valley embraced by majestic mountains such as the San Bernadino Mountains, the San Jacinto Mountains, and the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells (formerly known as the Hyatt Grand Champions) is a 45-acre desert oasis in a well-to-do neighborhood festooned with posh gated communities.
The grounds are verdant, and immaculately manicured. The rooms are spacious, with a step-down area holding a living area, workdesk, and balcony space looking out into the property. The color scheme comprising muted earth tones is soothing and the furnishings are comfortable for an extended stay.
There are three pools (including a small water slide) and the fitness center is more well-equipped than most Hyatt Regency gyms, although it is also much busier as it is open to members of the community (for a fee, one is fairly certain).
Filed under: holiday, hotels, Hyatt, reviews, USA | Tags: California, Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Regency Orange County, Los Angeles, OC, Orange County, Southern California
The Hyatt Regency Orange County exists–along with the myriad other properties such as Marriott, Residence Inn, Sheraton, etc–primarily to serve the throngs of tourists flocking to the nearby hallowed Disneyland. Indeed, Disney runs a tour desk in the lobby and a regular shuttle ply the hotel and America's favorite playground.
Perhaps it's because of this reason that the Hyatt Regency Orange County has the most capacious atrium lobby of any Hyatt I've yet encountered and the smallest rooms.
The room I was assigned was basic. A king-sized bed when you enter, a flat-screen TV to the side and a workdesk awkwardly placed directly in front of the TV, a side closet, and a bathroom across. The designers of the hotel probably expect guests to be out all day making the most of the Southern California sunshine and visiting the numerous places of interests.
Facilities include a decent sized pool (expect it to be filled with kids) and an adjoining gym with the standard StayFit equipment.
Filed under: Bangkok, hotels, Hyatt | Tags: Bangkok, Erawan, Grand Hyatt Erawan, Hyatt, Thailand
The Grand Hyatt Erawan is my hotel of choice whenever I visit Bangkok, and I've previously noted that despite the spaciousness, the decor of the rooms is looking rather dated.
I was hence excited to be upgraded to a newly renovated guestroom by celebrated designer Tony Chi during my recent stay in October. Having stayed there for a weekend, my verdict is that the refresh is incremental rather than quantum.
The layout is essentially the same as the old rooms–entrance foyer with bathroom to the side, bed, and finally study–expect that the furnishings are updated with designs that emphasize clean-lines, non-intrusiveness, and functionality.
So while the net effect is not jaw-dropping, perhaps the brief was for Tony Chi–whose projects include the Andaz Fifth Avenue, Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou, and Grand Hyatt Chengdu–to design a theme that is contemporary without being avant garde, comfortable without being boring, and modern without loosing the distinct Thai identity. These, especially the surfeit of the in-room amenities such as fine teabags with an Asian-accented tea set, fruit basket that was replenished daily, June Jacobs toiletries, as well as various objet d'art exuded a plush yet residential vibe.

Dream Smashers by Angela Carlie Review & Giveaway
Dream Smashers:
Sixteen-year-old Autumn has spent her entire life worrying about others. Her ailing grandma, meth-addicted mom, and a best friend who is always in trouble. She's spent the last few years attempting to worry less, to be carefree, without success.
Enter Evan, whose radiant attitude is an Autumn magnet. With Evan at her side, Autumn's able to let some of her worries go as they trudge through life's difficulties and fall for each other in the process.
A girl who no longer wants to care and a boy who cares enough for the both of them, Dream Smashers is a love story, but most of all, it's about letting go.
This was an amazing, heart-breaking read by Angela Carlie. I read this book in one day; once I picked it up, I simply couldn't put it down. Angela dug right into the gritty psyche of an addict, unafraid to make a less than desirable, but realistic, character and the changes that occur during the downward spiral of addiction. I enjoyed the realistic characters and the dynamic relationships, and how Angela showed that appearances can be deceiving. The sweet romance between Autumn and Evan was enchanting and kept me turning pages. The changing point of views gives you a more in-depth understanding of the emotions experienced by Autumn, Evan and Jacinda (Autumn's mother), and I really enjoyed that about the book. All her life Autumn has carried the burdens that surround her upon her shoulders; her mother's addiction, her grandfather's death and the fact that her grandmother is getting older. She dreams of living a carefree life, and makes a plan to succeed; only the harder she tries the more her burdens weigh her down. That is until she meets Evan, a blind date that turned out to be a turning point in her life. Evan has strong beliefs in the teachings of Jesus, and through his gentle guidance Autumn learns to put her faith in a higher power and how to truly be happy.

It's become more and more difficult for me to travel to conferences. With family, teaching and other work responsibilities (for those who don't know, I've taken on a new role recently), and work-related travel besides conferences, I find it just too onerous and disruptive to get away. Sadly, for example, I missed Crypto last year for the first time since 1999.
I'm not teaching this semester, so perhaps things will change a bit. This week I am attending (part of) the third Real-World Cryptography workshop. The workshop seems to have become a big success, with over 400 registrants last I heard — that is, roughly the same number of attendees as (or even slightly more than) Crypto or Eurocrypt. What explains its popularity? There are a couple of obvious possibilities, including the location (last year at Stanford, this year in NYC)
and the free registration. Somehow the workshop has generated lots of "buzz"; the fact that it is not an academic workshop probably helps attract a lot of people outside academia, or in areas related to (but not directly in) cryptography.
I'm here only through today, and I'll try live-blogging the talks (at least until my battery runs out!)

{Purchased By Me}
For this mani, I started with three coats of OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops, which is part of the 2015 Hawaii Collection. I was a little disappointed that I needed three coats for full coverage. That is not typical of OPI and I even think this is the first time I've encountered a three-coater. Then, I used a design from Vivid Lacquer Plate VL008 and Mundo de Unas Bones to stamp the design.
This mani is very simple and the design was barely noticeable from far away. I like the subtle girlishness of it. The colors are also great for spring manicures. If you want to add a little more pizazz to this mani, you could place small rhinestones where the lines intersect. Damn. I totally should have done that!!

A dual resonant antenna configuration is developed for multistandard multifunction mobile handsets and portable computers. Only two wideband resonant antennas can cover most of the LTE spectrums in portable communication equipment. The bandwidth that can be covered by each antenna exceeds 70% without using any matching or tuning circuits, with efficiencies that reach 80%. Thus, a dual configuration of them is capable of covering up to 39 LTE 4G bands besides the existing 2G and 3G bands. MIMO configurations have been also developed for the two wideband antennas with a maximum isolation and a minimum correlation coefficient between the primary and the diversity antennas.

Few celebrity murders occur, and when they do they are obviously news. When they remain unsolved they enter a very convoluted and embellished history. Celebrity murders also indicate something very curious about the perpetrator: a bold confidence. No one is so ignorant that they do not realize a celebrity murder will fetch worldwide news and instigate official and amateur sleuths from all over the country, if not the world, and over the span of time. Someone who is bold enough to commit this type of murder does so very carefully if he/she even wants to convince themselves that they have a chance to escape the dragnet of justice.
Such is the murder of Bob Crane. Like Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes had a unique and practically eternal life in syndication. I grew up with it in the 1970s, and perhaps, though memory fails, as a wee nipper I even saw it occasionally in its last couple of years on primetime. Yep, I am that old.
The show was hilarious, its characters developed and hysterical. Colonel Hogan was beloved, and so were his merry men. The music was upbeat, almost marshal music, but with a kick. By 1978, the show had only been off primetime for 7 years. For us kids, 7 years is a long time, and Hogan's Heroes was a classic, especially its early episodes, and ruffled in the appropriate misty fringes. We still marked any new show wherein we saw one of the original characters appear in a new or guest role– look, that's Colonel Kink!
The most famous of the cast, of course, was Bob Crane, the star. He went on to do more work and even played Super Dad in a Disney flick surrounded by the early 1970s staple Disney supporting actors.
When he was found brutally murdered in a motel room in Scottsdale, Arizona, on June 29, 1978, the nation was shocked. Beloved Col. Hogan had not just died; he had been murdered. Then it was discovered he had a double life of sorts. He liked women and he liked filming them in, shall we say, action– himself included.
This naturally opened up a can of potential worms– that is, culprits.
But for our purposes here it is best to stress one thing: the crime scene looks like an amateur's way to murder someone. Someone without guns and knives. Someone who did it the crudest way possible– by bludgeon. Messy, needlessly, messy way of doing things. Crane was bludgeoned to death in bed. There was no forced entry. It was thought he knew his killer. From a broader perspective, all things considering (i.e. the risqué videos), little Scottsdale, Arizona, seemed the perfect place to commit a celebrity murder– cops weren't consider too sophisticated. Maybe the killer thought this was the perfect place to act quickly. It was now or never.
Suspicion fell on a buddy of Crane's, John Carpenter by name, who had a video store. They seemed to like women together and they did some filming together. He had flown in to Phoenix just a few days before to pal around with his friend, Crane. Interesting. Bob was directing at a local playhouse in Scottsdale and was staying at the apartments on East Chaparral Road.
Carpenter had rented a car. On the inside panel of the passenger side the police found a couple of minor stains of blood. But not enough evidence could be compiled to charge Carpenter– not until years later in the early 1990s. He stood trial. He was found not guilty. Later a Phoenix TV station paved the way for DNA testing of the blood. The drops were from two sources. One was unidentified– an UNSUB in the argot of the fuzz. The other was too degraded to identify.
There are those who were shocked to realize none of it was Bob Crane's blood, which everybody had always assumed it was. Well, this we do not know. One sample was too degraded to identify, so that could be Crane's. The other is unknown, but this last fact does not let Carpenter off the hook, as some have tried to claim.
Let us not lose sight of CONTEXT and get caught up in a strange narrative based on debating a single clue or point of evidence. The bloodstains are actually not evidence within themselves. They are evidence within the CONTEXT.
And the CONTEXT is damning. The CONTEXT is that Carpenter's friend Bob Crane is found beaten to death. A bloody mess in bed. Just so happens that Carpenter's car has bloodstains in it. Just because it was not Crane's doesn't mean Carpenter wasn't involved. It is, in fact, a clue that the perp could have cut his hand on the bludgeon– whatever it was. It was speculated that it was a cameras tripod. (That's pretty curious. A murder weapon is pretty easy to identify, especially a bludgeon.) That it was on the passenger's side indicates an accomplice who was driven off in Carpenter's car after the crime.
If it was the camera tripod, it fits. The killing suggests that the perp was not a professional and had to act with what was at hand. He had no gun or knife. From the force of the blows, his hand may have been cut on the tripod legs (or from wherever he held it).
Yet the fact that the blood was found on the passenger side complicates things. No one gets in their car and drives it from the passenger side. Once again, it sounds as if Carpenter had an accomplice, one who got into the car and was drive off, presumably by Carpenter.
I've seen a TV show where Carpenter's old attorney crowed about how the DNA test vindicated Carpenter– the blood wasn't Crane's after all! How is that vindication? It's Carpenter's car and there is blood in it on the passenger side, during his visit to the area when his supposed friend is found bludgeoned to death. Isn't that curious? I do not know if Carpenter was ever DNA tested (before or after he died), but an unknown's blood, and somebody else's blood, too degraded to identify, was found in his car. Two different people had their blood in his car.
Graphic Image
Blood exists on a curious part of the bed sheets (from crime scene photos) at the bottom of the bed that could suggest the killer wiped his bleeding hand or set the bludgeon down. In fact, because they are parallel rows it would seem the weapon was set down and then the sheets folded around it as the killer did something that yanked accidently on the sheets. If the sheets are still preserved, they should be tested to see if more than one DNA set can be picked up and matched to the "unknown" on the passenger side door of Carpenter's car. If it's not Carpenter's blood, it could be that of an accomplice. Only locating it on the sheets will tell us Carpenter's car and the murderer were connected.
The only logical progression here is to assume that the blood in the car came from the killer, who had injured himself. This means that some of it should be found upon the crime scene evidence material still preserved.
We all rather owe it to Colonel Hogan to bring some closure to his murder. It has long enough existed as a dark Hollywood story. But let's finally solve it. This means developing hypotheses and testing them.
The first hypothesis here is that the blood in the car is connected to the crime and that it is the blood of the perpetrator. The next step is to find it at the crime scene.

Kuo believes that the new camera will be able to sense location and depth of objects, allowing for clearer selfies and, more intriguingly, full facial and iris recognition.
The latter would allow Apple to significantly boost the iPhone 8's security credentials.
Last year's ill-fated Samsung Galaxy Note 7 utilised iris recognition and the Korean company's upcoming Galaxy S8 is also said to have the futuristic tech.
Improving security could help Apple boost the uptake of Apple Pay and make it less reliant on Touch ID.
The latter is expected to form part of the iPhone 8's display, with the Californian company said to be ditching the traditional physical home button for its new smartphone.
The iPhone 8 is expected to hit shelves later this year, with an all–new glass design, 3D dual lens camera and possibly a curved screen.

The Fairmont, Bras Basah Road
+65 6431 6156
Prego has a big, bright, cosmopolitan feel and is perfect for a ladies' lunch – ideally, ladies who are not watching their weight. Angela and I are shown to a lovely window table from which to watch the Friday lunchtime traffic strolling by. By one o'clock, the huge restaurant is full of diners, but the breezy, friendly service never falters.
After a mixed antipasti of caprese salad, proscuitto, melon, rocket and yummy balsamic figs, Chef Salvatore Silvestrone suggests we share the potato gnocchi with broccoli, delectably enhanced with gorgonzola, and the linguine gallinaci, a triumph of trumpet mushrooms and truffles, vermouth and garlic butter. Both main courses, too, are to die for. The delicate merluzzo (cod), the most popular dish on the menu, is inspirationally paired with lentils and fragrant with a pesto of basil from the chef's own garden, while the generous portion of beef tenderloin is incredibly tasty.
It's impossible to do justice to dessert after such a feast, but we can recommend the ricotta cheesecake and, of course, in the same way as just one glass of Prosecco can only do you good – even at lunchtime – everyone can find a little space for a couple of spoonfuls of tiramisu.

Above is the habitat to be burned, and opened up.
Above is the basking Hog-nosed Snake.
Superficially, the colour of this Hog-nosed Snake looks similar to a Black Ratsnake, an extremely rare snake in the Long Point area. Notice, the upturned "snout", a great feature that readily identifies this species regardless of colour. Hog-nosed Snakes also have keeled scales (ridges), whereas a Black Ratsnake is basically smooth scaled.
Below are some shots of the burning process.
Unfortunately I couldn't stay until the end of the day, so I didn't get any shots of what it looked like after the burn, but I'm sure I'll be back to this site soon.

Twitter is Toxic, so They Figured They'd Remove the Heart Icon for 'Likes'
By Randa Darwish
Twitter CEO's surprising announcement in a private event last week about taking off the heart-shaped "like" button from Twitter had received massive reactions by the platform users.
It all started from a report by Telegraph, when they confirmed the platform's CEO, Jack Dorsey had revealed in a private event his plans to get rid of the heart-shaped button soon.
Aiming to improve the health of their platform, Dorsey also said that he was not a fan of the like button that was introduced in 2015 to replace a star-shaped button that allowed people to bookmark "favourites" tweets.
The announcement sparked reactions and mixed opinions.
In response, Twitter confirmed that they are still in "the early stages of the work and have no plans to share right now" but there are plans to offer healthier and less toxic platform in response to claims over the rise of hate speech.
Rising accusations of anti-conservative bias by the right-wing against Twitter have encouraged conspiracy theorists to develop more theories on the removal of the "like" button and the US midterm elections set to take place on November 6.
Some Twitter users went to suggest that Twitter's decision to remove the heart-shaped button came in correspondence with the elections, as Twitter aims to suppress and curb conservatives from going to the polls.
Some also suggested that conservatives and republicans are currently getting more likes than their democratic rivals, which might affect the election results.
Others had another suggestions on Twitter's real reasons to remove the "like" button.

Holly Brooks had a super-fun May: being named to the US Ski Team, training camps in Park City and Bend, Pole Pedal Paddle, and a big ski-leg win at Ski to Sea (that's where this photo is from). Now it's onward to the big volume month of June. Here is her report. Thanks, Holly!
Let me just say that I love training in June!
I just finished a recovery week following my time in Bend (at my first official USST training camp) and I am literally chomping at the bit to train. Last week when I was discussing my training with Erik Flora, my coach (with familial Kongsberger ties!), he reminded me that IF I want to get stronger and faster, I need to take my recovery weeks more seriously. For me, resting is a really hard thing to do. I seem to have a natural sensor in my body that says, "more is better." Also, I love to train and love to be active so when he told me to limit my weekly hours to 8, I really had to control myself. I ended last week with 10 1/2 but that's by far, one of my smallest, easiest weeks ever. I turn in my training log religiously every Sunday for review and the response was, "Good job HB!"
So, starting today, I'm allowed to hit it hard again. Erik told me, "don't worry, this month will be huge. Expect to train 80/90 hours in the next four-week period." To me, this is music to my ears. My goals for June are specifically to build my endurance base, meaning June is filled with tons and tons of quality, solid distance training. If you think of training and training zones like a pyramid, levels 1 & 2 form the base of the pyramid. They are what holds the top end end together. (i.e., racing!) Without a good distance base, it's hard to sustain quality intervals and fast speed work later in the summer and fall, not to mention an entire winter of World Cup racing or Kongsberger/Snoqualmie events! That said, June will most likely be one of my highest VOLUME months of the entire year. Think of it like money in the bank.
This spring, I've been able to ski on snow quite a bit between spring in Alaska and traveling to Bend for great late-May conditions. This morning I went to practice for a skate roller ski and was amazed when I realized that it was only my third roller ski of the year. Last year by this time I had roller skied 14 times already!!!! Every year is different and condition-dependent, right?
So, if you're wondering how to plan your training for June, just get out there and KEEP GOING! I'm always careful to cross train (roller ski, run & bike) so that overuse injuries don't flare up. We also add at least one interval session and one speed session per week. This keeps my body used to fast work without taking a huge toll so that I can keep my distance hours up. [note: I asked Holly to define intervals and speed, and this is what she said: "Intervals - L3 - Threshold or L4 - Vo2Max .... Usually 4 minutes or more. L3 could even be 45 minutes up Tiger Mt....
Speed - L5 would typically be 90 seconds or less. For example, today I did a distance workout of two hours but in the middle I did 8 x 15 seconds - think pick ups!"]
Speaking of injuries, if you have anything that's nagging you, I challenge you to be proactive and take care of it! If you start the summer & beginning of the training year with things that hurt, they will likely spiral downwards as training volume and load increase. A couple weekends ago in Bend, I took a huge crash in the XC portion of the Pole Pedal Paddle. It was literally a chest flop OFF the trail. While I was able to do the kayak leg for my team team afterwards, the next day I could hardly get out of bed! Breathing, coughing, laughing - everything hurt. I thought it would go away but it hasn't. A couple days ago I got an x-ray to see if anything was broken and luckily it looks okay. I do have an appointment with my PT tomorrow. Get those aches and pains taken care of! And, if there is something you shouldn't be doing.... (for me - any speed work or double poling that uses my arms).... avoid it. Focus on other aspects of training. See it as an opportunity to improve something else while you heal! While I can't work on my double pole right now, I can work on my leg strength and running!
Have fun, be safe & get out there!

The Brown v. Board of Education case of 1954 was a defining moment in the history of the United States. This Supreme Court decision made the segregation of schools by race illegal, but the equality of schools is something that has not been widely seen throughout the history of education. An attempt at creating equality, known as the Common Core standards, was released in 2010, and has been adopted by 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia. Proponents of this policy claim that these standards will move American education towards the equality that was the goal of this legislation, 60 years later, but others fear that these standards will cause damage to school systems.
The Common Core System
The Common Core testing standards were created as a means to ensure that all children, regardless of socioeconomic or racial background, would receive the same standards of education within the public school system. This system is designed to help students develop necessary skills for success in college and the workforce of America. Within this system, skill levels are specifically developed for each grade, with each successive grade building upon the skills that are developed in the grades previous.
For English comprehension, the standards are based upon the difficulty of literature that is presented to students, which includes classical and current literature. Writing evaluations begin in the early grades with opinions pieces, and gradually develop students' skills in the research aspect of composition. The math section focuses on developing the understanding of the concepts involved, rather than the basic formulas, in an effort to promote the retention of information among students.
Proponents of the System
Those who agree with the Common Core system of education argue that the tests and concepts offer consistent and clear explanations of what is required of students to succeed. They believe that the Common Core program may be leading to a point in the history of education in America where equality of schooling will be shared among all socioeconomic brackets, 60 years later than when the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling was overturned. It is argued that, while the tests involved in the Common Core system are more rigorous than those that have been used previously in public school standardized tests, they also provide a more solid foundation for children to learn the skills necessary to succeed in the real world.
These skills needed for the workforce and in college are argued to be based off of abstract thought processes, which require an understanding of why, as opposed to how, certain concepts and formulas work in the way that they do. Proponents of this movement argue that understanding the abstract concepts behind mathematical operations and literary works gives children a better understanding of how these lessons can be used in the collegiate world and workforce.
Opponents of the System
Opponents to the Common Core system believe that it narrows the scope of education that students are exposed to into two main topics – English and math. One piece of information that is cited by this group is the No Child Left Behind Act, which imposed mandatory, standardized tests on all public schools in the United States. If the performance of students at a certain school was determined to be unsatisfactory, then sanctions were imposed upon the staff. The knowledge of these terms led to instances of cheating and score manipulation in several states and districts, including New York and the District of Colombia. Another argument against this form of education is that it leads school systems to ignore subjects other than English and mathematics, leaving history, art, science, and others without funding. Those who do not believe that the Common Core standards are beneficial note that the material is so difficult that most parents have difficulties helping their children with it, and worry that schools may be overloading young children with complicated concepts.
The Brown v. Board of Education decision took the segregation out of school systems, and 60 years later, the Common Core is attempting to bring schools to equality in terms of the caliber of schooling that they provide. Despite what opponents to this system have said, most of the United States school systems have adopted this as the new style of education.

So at 7am this morning (30mins early), the carpet arrived. When I saw it on the back of his ute I was praying he didn't want me to help him carry it in.
|You can see the join here. I hope it disappears as it gets walked on.
Woo hoo!!

I got to play alot last night --first the grapes, which I already posted. And then the bowl of garlic and tomatoes. With the Sony Cybershot it is difficult even to figure out how to use the DIY bouncer idea I found on-line. There is just no room to attach it. I have tried aiming the flash at a white board or the wall--even covering the flash with my finger to dull it. I still got tons of bright spots on the tomatoes and nothing in PSE seems to help without looking awful. I tried moving far back, that didn't help. I'm so confused at this point . . . .HELP!!
1- I thought the distortions in the green stems and the garlic were interesting!
2- THis one seemed to have the most items in focus-not a great composition, but I liked the colors. . .
3- This is my favorite --close cropped --weird, I know!
Thanks for taking the time! I really appreciate it.

Warning! This is a long post with lots of pictures!
Hi Friends and Fellow Crafters! I can hardly believe a month has gone by. It was an exceptionally busy 4 weeks for me. We had a terrible upper respiratory infection running through our home, then I received a call on February 4th from my BFF's hubby asking for ideas for a 50th Birthday party for her. Men sometimes don't get it, he wanted to have the party on March 3rd. WHAT?!!!! That is not much time for me. I am the slowest crafter on the East Coast! LOL! I went to work on the invites. I knew it had to be simple, so I used DCWV pre-made cards and envelopes for the base of the card. I used the Cricut Craft Room to design the card. Here is the invitation.
Here is a close up.
And the inside
I used my Cricut Circle Cartridge, Sophie to cut the main design. It is the Lable4 cut. The Butterfly is also from Sophie. It is the butterfly1 cut. Finally, the "You're Invited" is from Teresa Collins' Sophisticated Cartridge. I used my computer and printed the party information on Vellum. Then I used vellum tape to attach it on the inside. The papers I used are from one of my 1st stacks that I bought when I started paper crafting. It is the Die Cut With A View Luxury Stack. They looked simple, yet elegant once they were finished. I was pleased that I was able to get them to my BFF's hubby within a week. That gave me the next week to work on my son's Valentines and it was back to party planning. Next were the favors. My BFF, Colleen loves to shop. I wanted something fun for her, so I went with little bags. Here's how they turned out.
These are from Tags Bags Boxes and More. I cut them at fit to page. The tags are also from TBBM cut at 2 inches, I think. I used my Gypsy to make these, but I can't find the tag file. I printed out the sentiment, cut them to size for the tag, glued and inked them. The flowers and buttons are all from my stash. I am almost embarrassed to admit that even using all those flowers, I didn't even make a small dent in my Prima stash. All the papers are from my stash, mostly K&Company and My Mind's Eye Home collection. There are a few that I cut and printed using my Imagine. I used Mystical Garden on them. The last picture above shows a Maroon bag that is from Mystical Garden. Once they were all assembled, I added Hershey Kisses in tissue paper to them. These aren't the best pictures, but they give you an idea on how they looked stuffed. I ended up making 30 of them. They were a big hit, especially with the younger girls at the party.
My original plan for centerpieces fell apart because week three of trying to get the party together was spent with my Mom in the hospital. I didn't get a darn thing done. I was so exhausted from running back and forth to the hospital, that all I could do was eat dinner, get my son's things together for school and pass out. The final week was spent getting my Mom home, settling in to visits from the Visiting Nurses and trying to get a banner design together. I was thrilled when my new Cricut Circle Cartridge, Letter Envy arrived, It has a Crest Layer that is prefect for banners! Anyone who knows me, also knows that I love banners. They are tied with Topiaries as being my favorite home decor design projects to create using my Cricut machines. There was no way I was going to let an opportunity to make a banner for Colleen's birthday pass me by. LOL! I knew I had to keep going with the simple is better manner that I had used on the invites and favors. I broke out the Gypsy, updated it, and linked up the new Cartridge. I used the
It was a pretty big banner, so I broke the pictures up. Here are some of my favorite pennants.
Here it is on the door at the restaurant.
Check out this cake, it is awesome! A Coach Purse cake! Love It!!!!!
I have been very blessed in my life that while I have no biological sisters, I have 4 wonderful friends that are more than sisters to me. We are all turning 50 this year with the exception of my one BFF that still has a year to go. I hope to have more time for our next party and really co-ordinate everything. Colleen was totally surprised and we all had a great time at her party.
Happy 50th Birthday to my Best Friend! My dear Sister, Colleen!

The Eating Disorder Unit smells like burnt toast.
Secure doors throw open and embrace me into the waiting room. Sharp lights, purring phones, the shuffling of paper and slippered feet. And the stench of burnt toast.
A smell so pungent, it wakes the spectre of family breakfasts, flames in our Bombay kitchen and team briefings at the boathouse. I watch ghosts float down the hospital corridors, devouring slice after slice.
I sign my name in at 08:58. The dates have flipped and fallen away above my signature for a whole year. Welcome back, another week. Congratulations, you've made it to the end of another week. My Eating Disorder Unit smells like rotting time: it smells like an Anorexic feast.
I leave with lingering panic, and the smell of burnt toast.
Anonymous has stretched out my time in recovery. It has worn thin, and torn away from countless opportunities:
That media company who commissioned me to lead their mental health campaign frayed. I left a deadline dangling, because Anonymous wouldn't let me sit long enough to produce any work. Torn fragments spent at my desk saw sentences dissolve into nonsense: I couldn't get my synapses to sync. I was so hungry. Your time is up. Time to move.
That Russell Group University who gave me an unconditional offer, which I now have to turn down. Anonymous wouldn't let me sit on a train to visit: it was such a long journey.
That job I was offered in a school, which Anonymous turned down in favour of my waitressing job. There is more exercise involved.
That phone call I didn't pick up because it wasn't part of my afternoon routine.
That firework display I couldn't watch, because the cold air began to eat me.
I looked at the date next to my name, and breathed in burning bread.
How much more time are you going to feed to your illness, Ellie?
Anorexia can remember the future, and it is huge. From the archives of a starving brain, she plays out the disaster of weight gain, and relives the horrors of health.
As I eat, my stirring brain starts working thoughts to the surface of it's wound. These heavy ones are called memories, and they have caused recovery to go stale.
I have been presented with a mouth watering opportunity: attend a coastal university to read English in September. Plump with juicy promise, it would mean I could leave my job, I could move out. I could begin again.
Opportunity ripens, but it is too far to pluck. Time puts heavy pressure on the doubts that are already shaking Ellie from her daze.
I looked at the date next to my name. It's May. Surely, there must be more to look forward to than my next meal?
This week, Reality has reeled Ellie in after she spent so long delving into Anorexic archives. Here is my reality: I am Anorexic, and I struggle to function on a day to day basis.
I am surviving on rations. My greedy heart steals calories off my tongue so it can rattle blood past hollow bones. White and red specs bubble in plasmatic rhapsody, rushing to the aid of delirious organs. They move with exhaustion. Sometimes they slack, and the pressure drops. My spine screams in osteoporatic rage. I can't afford to indulge energy on body heat, so my skin cracks and stains purple. My brain is a corrupt and nervous system being ravaged by two warring minds: I don't see energy again after it disappears into that shrunken space. Anonymous splashes out on lavish panic attacks to celebrate Anxiety, whereas Ellie wastes concentration until it fuses, blowing thoughts out of proportion. Power surges are followed by instant blackouts. Only weight gain is going to solve this, Ellie.
Every whiff of burnt toast is a reminder from Anonymous that I will not restore weight in time to be allowed to leave the clinic. Every rusty note marks another week that I have dragged Anorexia through, and Ellie still hasn't agreed to put on any more weight.
There is still plenty of time for you to get better, Ellie. Her whispering logic echoes in my stomach: one smoothie, and you'll pile on the weight. I have been listening since January, and haven't put on any weight since. I still haven't seen any evidence to support my Anorexic logic.
You haven't earned the right to learn.
Hope is precious, and neither Ellie nor Anonymous want to lose it. Instead they make me gamble away time on an empty promise of the future.
It is true that if I eat, there is a chance I will restore enough weight to be deemed medically fit to start university. It is also true that if I eat I will gain weight, and be left a half-formed but fed body. I will have used up my rationed time and be denied my right to learn.
The face of the future is scarred with this uncertainty, and it's ugly grimace rattles my recovery to it's core.
Don't bite off more than you can chew, Ellie, you're starving time. I break the day into chunks that are easy to swallow, making it harder to chew over the next one – and choke. This is taking my recovery tactics right back to it's basics: not trying to reveal what is feeding Anonymous, but rather how to contain her until Ellie is strong enough to take her on.
I don't have the energy to bear the emotional surge of looking forward, nor have I learnt how to look back without being blinded. Wait Ellie, one day at a time.
In one week alone, I have seen the benefits of moving the horizon closer. Anonymous denied me my smoothie increases since they were prescribed daily. This week, I turned my brain's energy away from the doomed deadline of weight restoration, and instead focused on finding a small bite-sized win everyday. It has been a delicious week of attritious smoothie glugging.
I can't call what tomorrow's weigh-in will provoke in Ellie and Anonymous, but that is for tomorrow. I'm just savouring this chunk of today, I must not think about tomorrow yet.
This blog is a collection of small chunks in my recovery. This is not the long story of my battle with Anorexia: that cannot be condensed into a single chapter. Rather, let it be that this is the tale of Ellie, and her win of the week. A manageable moral, not a myth.
I left my clinic last week with the warm smell of burnt toast lingering in my nostrils. The smell of possibility: something so delicious could come in time. Prepare for the best in everyday Ellie, not the worst in the future.
Not university in sight yet, but a smoothie.

Striking metal peacock feathers among Cambridge University photo contest entries
The overall winner of the photography competition, sponsored by ZEISS, was PhD student Bryn Noel Ubald.
Metal peacock feathers and a "nano man" are among the striking images entered into the Cambridge University engineering department's 13th annual photo competition.
The peacock entry, called ICTP2017 Peacock, is by Fran Sergent, and celebrates the technologies of metal forming.
It features a peacock made with a combination of established techniques and new processes developed at Cambridge's engineering department.
The nano man entry is a scanning electron micrograph showing thousands of entangled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) resembling a tiny stickman figure standing at the edge of a cliff.
Technology around CNTs is rapidly developing, and the material is 100 times stronger than steel and one-sixth as heavy. The photo is by Ravi Chitwan and Wei Tan.
The overall winner of the photography competition, sponsored by ZEISS, was PhD student Bryn Noel Ubald for his video which shows how fluid behaves as it moves over a turbine blade.
It is part of a study which uses high-fidelity computational modelling to understand the impact of measurement devices within aircraft engines.

Cross River State has again recorded another feat following the maiden ride of its ultra-modern monorail which took off yesterday from Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort to the Calabar International Convention Centre (CICC) at the Summit Hills and back to Tinapa.
This feat is one in a series of pioneering achievements which Cross River is known for. It would be recalled that the state was the first to introduce a cable car in Nigeria, and the longest in Africa, just as it was the first to launch a canopy walkway in Nigeria.
On board the maiden ride was the Cross River State governor, Prof Ben Ayade, Managing Director, Assets Management Company of Nigeria, Mr. Ahmed Kuru (AMCON) and its top management staff among others.

I see lots of amazing things ( flowers made out of old book pages) I looked around my house, the book I have here are all really new and the rest are still in storage. So set off to see if i could find something at goodwill. It was a Friday noonish and COMPLETELY crazy inside. People were pushing, and grabbing stuff out of other people's hands. That is the last i go to that store EVER. However i did see a rather large man, who looked just like my father dressed in full drag. I mean it looked so much like my dad that i had to do a double take. Umm dad is there something you need to tell me? Besides grabbing some jeans for Miss Katie-lou-who, I grab up this book.
my goodwill find –
It had the prefect pages, slightly yellowing, heavy duty pages. I fell in love. It was prefect. Plus just as i got to th check out they announced that all books were only $0.49. WOW!
the book was pulished in 1964, i came home and said it was vintage… i got dagger looks from my mom.
I thought it would be prefect for projects like that:
I took this picture of the flower while it was still wet and it really still looks like a picture of a wet wad of newspaper. I will take another one this morning, and hope it photographs better then before. I used Glimmer mist to soften the paper. then crumbled it and then took my glossy accents and added a dot in the middle and then around the edges. I couldn't believe how much of the pink that it picked up.
You will see more of this flower i have a project planned for it, well if it didn't turn out ugly. I haven't looked at it this morning yet.

PENTICTON - A Penticton property that has become a rat infested problem for its Cossar Avenue neighbours will be dealt with at Tuesday's regular council meeting.
Bylaw Services officer Tina Siebert will present a report to council at the April 4 meeting, with a request to allow a remedial action order at 175 Cossar Avenue. The request follows a Feb. 22 complaint about the property by a Penticton Regional Hospital social worker who noticed rats on the property.
The residence had previously been occupied by an elderly man who not long ago passed away in the house and the owner, an elderly woman, has recently been placed in a care facility after being diagnosed with dementia. The property has since been vacant, and there is no other family to assist with the cleanup of the house and yard.
Neighbours have also been in contact with the City to do something about an increasing rat infestation which has resulted in health and safety hazards on the property.
According to a staff report, rats have chewed electrical wires in the house, resulting in the need to disconnect electrical services.
The city has hired an exterminator to assess the problem, who has concluded the residence now houses a well-established roof rat colony with adults and juveniles present. Eradication could take up to a year, leaving the building with dead rats in the walls.
The report also says the back deck is covered in food scraps and torn open garbage bags with old furniture are strewn about.
The City has been in contact with the public guardian's office, who have said they would pay any reasonably incurred charges for remediation efforts. Any unpaid costs associated with the City's efforts to clean the property would be billed back to the owner and added to property taxes if left unpaid.
Calling the circumstances surrounding the issue "unfortunate, especially when there is no known family available to assist," the report calls it imperative for the City to assist with such situations so the nuisance conditions do not negatively impact surrounding properties.
Staff are recommending remedial action take place as soon as possible.

What should he do with the character 'Bao'? Minghe was having second thoughts about it. Like him, Heaven and Earth Taoist, and Red Lotus Taoist had also enlightened two divine laws. If he passed this law to either of them, it would slow down their cultivation. But his Selfcentric Separation, Musen, was a great candidate as he had only enlightened the Law of Martial Arts.
Minghe contacted Musen using Spiritual Thoughts to ask about his opinion, but the latter evidently showed no interest in the character. Watching the character in his hand, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Just then, an idea struck him. When the character fell from the heaven in the Treasures World, his Cauldron of Heaven and Earth had stirred a little. He didn't take notice of it then but it seemed that the cauldron had been yearning for the character.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the cauldron. The cauldron was his Spiritual Treasure and he knew it like the back of his hand. Upon closer examination, he discovered the cauldron's great yearning for the character. This urge to take the character as its own was something it had never shown before.
When he put the Origin that Lord of Numerous Treasures had left and some Origin of Chaos into his cauldron while refining the primordial supreme treasure, the cauldron didn't react much. Yet it had such an extreme reaction to the character 'Bao'. It was indeed peculiar.
Looking at the cauldron and then looking at the character in his hands, Minghe suddenly laughed. Since the character wasn't useful to him, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to feed it to the cauldron to find out what it wanted. Perhaps a surprise would be waiting for him.
He released the limits on the character and sent it in front of the cauldron, looking hopeful about the outcome. The cauldron emitted a great force, sucking in the character in the blink of an eye. Minghe felt the cauldron absorbing the character directly into its core Origin.
That wasn't the most important part. What was surprising was the character merging with the Origin of the cauldron and changing the latter a great deal. With a smile on his face, Minghe gazed at the cauldron as it transformed. "Good. This is good. This way, the character won't be wasted. Since you like it, I'll give you a hand."
Minghe lifted his hand and drew Talisman Symbols in the air using his index finger and middle finger together as a brush. These were no ordinary symbols. Each was formed from the Law of Heaven and Earth. When one Divine Law Talisman Symbol was immersed in the cauldron, the light of the cauldron would become brighter. When all 129,600 symbols were immersed in the cauldron, Minghe stopped.
With the help of the Divine Law Talisman Symbol and the character 'Bao', the cauldron transformed into a glamorous new treasure that bathed in green light. Seeing this Mysterious Sign, Minghe waved his hands to block the Blood Sea with the Cosmic Stars Formation above this area. The formation would prevent the Mysterious Sign from being revealed. It was better to keep the transformation a secret. After all, the cauldron was a primordial supreme treasure. It wasn't a trivial matter to enhance it.
With a loud boom, the cauldron exploded with intense light and the primordial Treasures Aura scattered all around the Blood Sea. The Cosmic Stars Banner seemed to sense the benefits of the aura and began absorbing it. When the aura was entirely absorbed, the whole set of Cosmic Stars Banner leveled up.
The Cosmic Stars Banner that Minghe had refined was a Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. One banner didn't even count as a Primordial Spiritual Treasure and was ranked between primordial spiritual treasure and Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure. After taking a long time refining with the Origin of the Stars, the whole set of banners was finally upgraded into a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
After absorbing so much aura, the set of banners finally became a Primordial Spiritual Treasure and the individual banners became Low-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures. This was an unexpected outcome. If it laid down Cosmic Stars Formation now, it would take even the Sages some trouble to break it.
However, the Cosmic Stars Banner wasn't all that important. It was nothing more than something that Minghe created to absorb the power of cosmic stars so that the Blood God Doppelganger and the Clone of Blood God could be created. What he really cared about was the cauldron that had become more powerful after its transformation. Minghe could feel it finally becoming complete.
With the upgrade, the cauldron was now a Highest Grade Primordial Supreme Treasure. When Minghe moved his fingers, the cauldron shrank instantly until it was only about three inches. He held it in his hand and took a closer look at it. He found the Talisman Symbol around the cauldron to be more mysterious in appearance. The 129,600 Divine Law Talisman Symbols he had drawn was taken by the cauldron as nutrition for its enhancement.
When he checked the inner side of the cauldron, the original chaotic space was now split into heaven and earth. There was a small world inside of the cauldron, full of the aura of the Heaven and Earth as well as the Primordial Aura. The two unique aura were produced from the Origin of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. They continued to merge into the cauldron, constantly strengthening it. From the looks of it, the last stop of the cauldron's journey wouldn't just be a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
A chaotic level of the Spiritual Treasure? The thought alone was enough to excite Minghe, though he didn't know the ranks of the chaotic-level Spiritual Treasure ranks. The Pangu Axe, the Jade Butterfly of Fate, and the Green Lotus of Fate were all chaotic-level Supreme Treasures that a Primordial Supreme Treasure could never rival. If his cauldron transformed into something like that, how awesome would that be?
This trip to the Chaos had broadened Minghe's horizons. Though Untainted Land was a world full of powers, it might not be Minghe's stage for long. It wasn't a place that could compare to the size of the Chaos. The density of the Chaos was something worth pondering. Just wait for it! When he became strong enough, he would travel to all corners of the Chaos.
Holding the cauldron in his hand, Minghe couldn't help feeling warm inside. The cauldron had been quite handy and helpful but he couldn't wait to try it now that it was strengthened with the character 'Bao'. He wanted to refine weapons instantly to see if there would be any changes in his creations.
The minute Minghe held out his right hand, the cauldron left his palm and returned to its normal size. He shook his left hand and summoned a Spiritual Treasure, a Top Grade Ruler of Heaven and Earth. Of course, it wouldn't look as mighty as the cauldron by comparison now. Minghe planned to refine it now that the cauldron had leveled up.
Before this, he would need to break the structure of the ruler to refine it. But now that Minghe had learned the Tao of refining, he didn't have to do something so troublesome. However, without materials of Heaven and Earth properties, he could only upgrade it a little. If he had the materials, he could easily refine it into a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
The refinement of the ruler was simple. As it transformed, the limits of the ruler transcended. Minghe split the Divine Law Talisman Symbol in the cauldron so that its power could be improved. When the ruler came out of the cauldron, it was already a Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure.
It was just as he had expected. Once the cauldron was improved, the refinery process became much easier. He also found out that the ruler was well nourished with the Treasures Aura and became much powerful than before. More importantly, the character 'Bao' trembled with the Divine Law and the latter merged with the ruler. Thus, even if the ruler was still a primordial spiritual treasure, its real power had transcended that.
Minghe looked at the ruler of Heaven and Earth with satisfaction and waved his hands, sending it off to the Humanly Flower. Heaven and Earth Taoist was meditating there, while Red Lotus Taoist was meditating in the Earthly Flower. Minghe could clearly sense them getting stronger and stronger. This simple fact relieved him as they could be facing a severe battle shortly. He wasn't certain if they could make it.
After packing up the cauldron, Minghe's attention was suddenly drawn to the sky. He had left for his trip to Chaos this time for several thousands of years. The Sages surprisingly didn't even make a move. Evidently, they hadn't found out about this. But one person knew for sure and that was Hongjun. But he didn't make a move either and that was the strangest thing of all.
SInce Hongjun gave the Bell of Chaos to Houtu and exposed the identity of Minghe's Selfcentric Separation, they had been on bad terms. Hongjun didn't seem like the good kind. He might be the incarnation of the Rakshasa who knew the secrets of the Chaos. Nevertheless, he chose to be a subject of the Way of Heaven. Minghe wondered just why would he do that.

We're sure that, right after Father Time rang in 2003, you kissed your beau, considered your resolutions, and wondered whether the contribution limit on your retirement account would increase. The good news is… yes. That is, yes, the contribution limits on many retirement accounts will increase this year. Here's the lowdown:
401(k), 403(b), 457 accounts, and SARSEPs: The annual contribution limit increases from $11,000 to $12,000 for 2003, and the catch-up contribution limit (for those age 50 and older) increases from $1,000 to $2,000.
SIMPLE IRAs: The contribution limit increases to $8,000, and the catch-up contribution (again, for the half-centenarians and beyond) to $1,000.
- Traditional and Roth IRAs: For 2003, the limit will stay at $3,000, and the catch-up contribution limit will remain $500.
So, if money is taken out of your paycheck and deposited in a retirement account, and that amount is based on 2002 limits, contact your human resources department and have the amount changed.
Also, remember that it's not too late to contribute to an IRA for 2002, but you only have until April 15. If you'd like to learn more, visit our IRA Center.
Don't know how much you should be saving? Then find out how to retire in comfort.

Today we made it pretty much official. We'll be weaving under the name of [Te Whare] Whiri Pūkenga and selling at markets etc. I believe the first one we'll be at is on October 22nd on the site of the Holy Trinity Church (now demolished) at 168 Stanmore Road. We do a lot of putiputi (flowers) but the group has skills in quite a few areas. I'm hoping, personally, to have some ribbon work done by then.
As for what I've been doing yesterday and today - I was too tired and headachy yesterday to start anything big - here's a picture:

Greek people have been eating artichokes for centuries and they have found endless ways to enjoy this beautiful vegetable. My mother in law traditionally stuffs artichokes with rice and herbs, but she recently suggested this as a simpler and lighter alternative. This is a energising dish that just sings spring!
Artichokes stuffed with parsley (Αγκινάρες γεμιστές με μαϊντανό)Ingredients
2 lemons, zested and juiced
6 artichokes
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp chopped mint
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup freshly grated sheep's milk kefalograviera cheese
1 & 1/2 cups fresh sourdough breadcrumbs, made from olive bread (or gluten free breadcrumbs)
300 ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
200 ml white wine
100g butter
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the juice of one. You can leave the lemon halves themselves in the water. Prepare the artichokes by peeling off the tough outer leaves. Trim the stem, so that the base of the artichoke is flat. Slice off the top of the artichoke and scoop out the fibrous choke. Be careful not to remove any of the artichoke heart, the best part! Rub the trimmed artichoke with half of the remaining lemon and then immediately place in the bowl of water.
2. Combine the lemon zest, herbs, garlic, kefalograviera, 1 cup of the breadcrumbs and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
3. Parboil the artichokes in boiling salted water for around 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain the artichokes, allow them to cool slightly and then stuff each one generously with the breadcrumb mixture by gently separating each leaf and pushing the stuffing into the gaps and the centre of the artichoke. Tightly pack the artichokes into a baking dish and drizzle with more oil. Pour in the white wine to just cover the base of the dish. Season the artichokes with more salt and pepper and top with some of the remaning breadcrumbs and a small dollop of good quality butter. Place in the oven until the breadcrumbs become golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.
