The name Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has a magical aura to it and in the spotlight are relatives - an aunt and a cousin. It's that relationship that magnetized people to watch a documentary about two demented women - debutant daughter Little Edie Bouvier Beale and her mother Big Edie - who lived in squalor in a 28-room dilapidate mansion - Grey Gardens - with cats, raccoons and opossums. Had they been related to nobody in particular their story wouldn't have garnered more than a small, back page paragraph even on a slow news day.
Considering their lineage they made headlines.
On Oct. 22, 1971, inspectors from the Suffolk County Health Department raided the house and discovered that it violated every known building regulation. In the dining room, they found a five-foot mountain of empty cans; in the upstairs bedrooms, they saw human waste.
The story became a national scandal. Health Department officials said they would evict the women unless the house was cleaned. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis came to the rescue, paying for a cleanup that included 40 gallons of germicide.
Little Edie in front of Grey Gardens
The following year, Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Onassis, introduced David and Albert Maysles to her relatives as part of a project she had proposed to film the early years of her and her sister's lives. Though that idea was abandoned, the filmmakers returned to the Beales to suggest a film about them. They were persuaded to permit hand held cameras to film them inside Grey Gardens. The documentary crew reportedly wore flea collars around their ankles while filming. Big and Little Edie agreed to the video crew because they were promised film profits - profits which were not forthcoming.
The legendary 1975 documentary
Grey Gardens,
by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer & Susan Froemke has now risen to cult status. In viewing the movie it's impossible to turn away, although there are times the viewer might feel they are window peeking and violating personal sanctity.
An off-Broadway hit, the show by the same name, transferred to The Great White Way, officially opening November 2.
With most of the off-Broadway cast intact, the emotionally moving production is proof that there are
parts written for women over the age of 40.
Seen in previews, Christine Ebersole has the role of a lifetime and also double duty. In act one she assumes the role of Little Edie's vivacious, controlling, attention driven mother, Edith Bouvier Beale. In Act II Ebersole takes on the part of late-middle-aged Little Edie, while Mary Louise Wilson plays the decrepit Big Edie.
In the 1940s Little Edie Bouvier Beale was a ravishing debutante. She claimed her suitors included J. Paul Getty, Howard Hughes and a Rockefeller brother. She was nicknamed Body Beautiful Beale after her bathing suit came undone during mid-dive at East Hampton's posh Maidstone Club. Proof seems to exist that Joe Kennedy, Jr. had prposed marriage.

Little Edie was born in Manhattan on Nov. 7, 1917. She was the eldest of the 10 grandchildren of John Vernou Bouvier Jr., who spent summers at the family estate in East Hampton, Lasata.
Other grandchildren included Jacqueline Bouvier and John H. Davis, author of
Bouviers: Portrait of an American Family
(Farrar, Straus, 1969). He wrote that Edie was the family beauty, "surpassing even the dark charm of Jacqueline."
Little Edie lived a gilded life as a youth. In 1936,
The New York Times
reported on her debut at the Pierre Hotel, at which she wore a gown of white net appliquéd in silver and a wreath of gardenias in her hair.
Starting at 17, she began a successful career as a model. She felt that she was on the verge of a big break into films in 1952, when she was 35. She said she had offers from MGM and Paramount, and that her dance career was set to take off.
Whether on the verge of success or not, she was called home to Grey Gardens by her controlling mother, who said she was ill and needed her.
Act I invokes literary license with both conversations and how Edie's romance with Joe Kennedy, Jr. ended. Like life in general, some things go on too long. Editing real people is far more difficult that clipping fiction. That first act is an important set up for Act Two which remains faithful to the documentary.
Also remaining faithful to the documentary are the William Ivey Long costumes.

A must see show for those who are fascinated by all things Kennedy; those interested in sociology and or mental health issues and anyone who wants to see Ebersole's tour de force performance.
Erin Davie's portrayal of the post-debutante Edie gives notice that she has a great future. Veteran performer Mary Louise Wilson as Big Edie is excellent and the chemistry between Ebersole and Wilson is dynamite.
The entire cast is astounding. Matt Cavenaugh (Joseph Patrick Kennedy Jr./Jerry), Kelsey Fowler (Lee Bouvier), Sarah Hyland (Jacqueline Bouvier), Michael Potts (Brooks Sr./Brooks Jr.), Bob Stillman (George Gould Strong) and John McMartin (J. V. Bouvier/Norman Vincent Peale).
hopes to end up like the Beale women. This is a
piece of history. The importance of diet, exercise, social interaction and the effects of alcohol. The brain can be a ticking time-bomb. Little Edie had slipped the boundaries of reality, if ever she was actually firm footed in them. The emotional turmoil of the long standing mother-daughter love-hate, co-dependency relationship surely had an impact.
The elder Edith Beale died in 1977. Her daughter then attempted a Manhattan cabaret career at age 60, which was akin to watching a train wreck. Unsuccessful, she sold Grey Gardens in 1979 and moved to Florida living off her small savings. She was discovered dead in her apartment on January 14, 2002 after a concerned fan could not reach her on the phone. She had been dead about five days from a presumed heart attack at age 84. Another report indicated the heart attack was triggered after falling off a wobbly chest of drawers.
If you haven't seen the original documentary, you've missed a rare opportunity to view proof that beauty, wealth and all that implies won't guarantee a golden life. There is a also a new Maysles Brothers companion movie,
The Beales of Grey Gardens
- featuring previously-unseen outtakes from the original documentary - several upcoming books, including a collection of Edie's original poetry. There is also a film in the pre production stage, which will star Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.

On Sunday November 12, this powerful new play about Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Burma's pro-democracy leader, will show exclusively at the Old Vic Theatre, London. This is the first time that her story will have been brought to the London stage.
Organized by the Burma Campaign UK (BCUK),
The Lady of Burma
is a one-woman play starring Liana Gould and written and directed by Richard Shannon. Maureen Lipman will host the evening and contributors include Juliet Stevenson, Sinead Cusack, John Pilger, Glenys Kinnock MEP, Richard Wilson and Prunella Scales.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the eponymous
is leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma, which won a landslide election victory in 1990, but has never been allowed to govern. Suu Kyi was in Burma to nurse her critically ill mother in 1988. When she arrived in Rangoon, Burma was in political upheaval. Burmese people took to the streets in protest against military rule and demanded democratic reform. "I could not as my father's daughter remain indifferent to all that was going on", she said during a speech in 1988.
The daughter of Burma's independence hero General Aung San, and inspired by the non – violent campaigns of US civil rights leader Martin Luther King and India's Mahatma Gandhi, Suu Kyi organized rallies and traveled around the country, calling for peaceful democratic reform and free elections. The protests and rallies were brutally suppressed by the army and Aung San Suu Kyi herself was placed under house arrest.
Since then, as the courageous leader of a campaign against one of the world's most brutal dictatorships, she has spent almost eleven years under house arrest. She isn't allowed to see her two sons, grandchildren, family, friends or colleagues as all visitors are banned. Her phone line is cut and her mail is intercepted. In 1999 Suu Kyi's husband, Michael Aris died of cancer - the Burmese authorities refusing her a visit from him prior to his death. They have two children, Alexander and Kim. Many of her supporters have been jailed or killed, notably in the Depayin massacre of May 2003, when up to a hundred were beaten to death by the Burmese militia. The military junta's policies have led to more than 600,000 deaths and up to one million people displaced.
Suu Kyi has called for people around the world to join the struggle for freedom in Burma. In addition to the Nobel Peace Prize, she has won the Sakharov Prize from the European Parliament and the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Aung San Suu Kyi was held under house arrest from 1989-1995, and again from 2000-2002. She was again arrested in May 2003 after the Depayin massacre. She is currently under house arrest in Rangoon. Aung San Suu Kyi's message is a simple one – that only by "fighting fear can you truly be free" – a message Burma's military fears and aims to silence.
Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal and corrupt regimes in the world responsible for: the widespread use of forced labor. Over 1 million people have been forced from their homes since 1988. There are currently at least 1100 political prisoners in Burma, many of whom are routinely tortured, and as many as 70,000 child soldiers – more than any other country in the world. Rape is used as a weapon of war against ethnic women and children.
Nearly half the government budget is spent on the military and one in ten children die before their fifth birthday.

Mini Baking Soda Gun
This is one of the smallest baking soda and vinegar gun I've ever built. It's only 5 3/8 inches long and shoots 1/2 inch rubber stoppers. For fuel, it uses 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda per shot. This gun is able to shoot rubber stoppers at speeds of more than 90 feet per second with as much as 1.33 foot pounds of impact force. That's more impact force than a Red Ryder BB gun! In one more recent test, the gun was able to launch an extra-tight fitting rubber stopper at 125 feet per second with a force of about 2.35 foot pounds! The gun is constructed from a 1/2 inch threaded PVC end cap, a 2 inch long section of threaded PVC pipe, a threaded 1/2 inch PVC ball valve, and a 1 1/2 inch long section of threaded PVC pipe. Plenty of teflon thread tape was used to make the joints as tight as possible. Construction cost is aproximately $6.00 For an even smaller gun, see World's Smallest Baking Soda Gun.
we keep our truck (f150) stored when we are not using it at a lot about 2 miles from our house. Well it seems that when Ike wandered through a couple weekends ago and dropped 5 inches of rain in only a few hours the lot flooded, as its by a creek. We just got a call on Friday that this had happened. I went to check it out and yes, the truck was flooded. I have to step up on the runner board to get in the tuck, so that high water mark is over knee high on me (and I'm 5'7"). Luckily we don't have carpeted floors and it didn't get to the seats. I cleaned and aired it out yesterday and I think it will be okay. I put some baking soda in it to soak up the residual river smell. Many people in the area had much worse damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the students I work with are still struggling with basic skills?
Career Choices
is academically based, providing basic skill practice disguised as self-discovery. What was once viewed as "drill and skill" is now camouflaged by meaningful personal exercises and activities. By the end of the class, attitudes about education drastically change because students understand how being able to read, write, and compute directly impacts their futures.
Is it really possible to get the average 14-year-old to write a comprehensive 10-year plan for their future?
Absolutely! When taught in sequence,
Career Choices
leads students through a step-by-step process (up to 100 active-learning exercises) that enables them to articulate who they are and what they want their lives to look like after high school. Each of the activities builds on the ones before. When documented in the Workbook and Portfolio, students can easily compile their plan and store it online to reassess, review, modify, or update later.
What is the reading level of the texts?
Career Choices
has been evaluated at a 9th grade reading level.
has selections that are included in the English "canon" for middle school and high school, primarily at 9th grade.
My students have low reading levels (two to three grades below). Can the curriculum work for them as well?
More than 17,500 JTPA participants used the
Career Choices
curriculum during the summers of 1994 and 1995. The JTPA population includes a high percentage of students with reading levels well below grade level. Because the material covered in the curriculum is so relevant to the adolescents, the motivation is present to try harder to read, understand and comprehend the written word. Instructors report that the unique design of the text is also "friendlier" to the students. Because students feel less threatened by
Career Choices
than by more traditional textbooks, they are more willing to struggle with their reading.
Career Choices
work with my special population?
San Gabriel High School, an East Los Angeles High School, combines
Career Choices
with Speech to introduce cooperative learning skills vastly needed in the world of work. This class population is 85% students of color, bringing to the table many different values and dreams. For greater detail see
Career Guidance: Helping Students Make Smart Choices
In Minnesota, the English department teams up with On-the-Job (OTJ) to create Transitions, a comprehensive class for Special Education seniors headed for the workplace right after graduation. The innovative teachers used Career Choices to help these special students overcome their fears and start envisioning their future. For more detail see
Vocational Guidance for the Special Education Classroom
In the Medina County Ohio School District, the School-to-Work Coordinator overcame the challenge of reviving a failed training and employment program for at-risk youth. These students were mainly fifth year seniors who were not expected to graduate. The educators integrated

Lifestyle Math
to create a very successful, very real-life experience for these students that gave them a sense of hope. For additional information see
Life 101: Career Guidance for At-Risk Youth
How can we implement
Career Choices
in our Tech Prep program?
If Tech Prep programs are to succeed, students must come to them willingly and with enthusiasm. And to do that, they must understand what's in it for them, what impact it will have on their future life satisfaction. The
Career Choices
program was specifically designed to give the guidance experience in an academic setting that will produce motivated learners.
Young people today have more choices about how to structure their lives than any other generation before them. And because of the complexity of today's technological world, it is imperative that students make more and more sophisticated choices at a younger and younger age (for many states, as early as the 10th or 11th grade).
We can no longer afford to leave the career planning and guidance tasks to "time and experience." Students need to focus on their educational options early, as they will be asked to make a choice of Tech Prep versus college prep.
It is imperative today that young people receive 45 to 180 hours of in-classroom guidance curriculum that teaches them a process for dealing with the various changes and choices they will face over their lifetime. The ideal age for this is between 13 and 15 years old, just prior to them being asked to make important educational decisions that will impact the rest of their lives.
This can be accomplished in the English/language arts classroom while at the same time meeting the learning objects of the traditional English classroom.

Multispectral analysis of indigenous rock art using terrestrial laser scanning
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Multispectral analysis is a widely used technique in the photogrammetric and remote sensing industry. The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) in combination with imagery is becoming increasingly common, with its applications spreading to a wider range of fields. Both systems benefit from being a non-contact technique that can be used to accurately capture data regarding the target surface. Although multispectral analysis is actively performed within the spatial sciences field, its extent of application within an archaeological context has been limited. This study effectively aims to apply the multispectral techniques commonly used, to a remote Indigenous site that contains an extensive gallery of aging rock art. The ultimate goal for this research is the development of a systematic procedure that could be applied to numerous similar sites for the purpose of heritage preservation and research. The study consisted of extensive data capture of the rock art gallery using two different TLS systems and a digital SLR camera. The data was combined into a common 2D reference frame that allowed for standard image processing to be applied. An unsupervised k-means classifier was applied to the multiband images to detect the different types of rock art present. The result was unsatisfactory as the subsequent classification accuracy was relatively low. The procedure and technique does however show potential and further testing with different classification algorithms could possibly improve the result significantly.

Raise your hand please, if John Baker is on your blogroll. Yikes. The rush of hands created a huge draft of wind and nearly knocked me over. Most of us have been reading John's blog for as long as we've been reading book blogs. For those who don't know him yet (the few of you who were also knocked over by the show of hands), John's written eight highly regarded mysteries and he's been blogging about books and book-ish subjects since, well, before most of even knew blogs existed.
John's newest book, Winged With Death, isn't a conventional mystery. It moves between Uruguay in 1972 and England in the present. There's a really elegant narrative at work here — the story's first strand is the tale of the narrator's arrival in Montevideo when he was eighteen, at a time when Uruguay was in political turmoil. The boy takes on a new name — Ramon — and finds himself absorbed in becoming a Milonguero – a tango master. The second strand occurs in the present where, from the perspective of his life in York, and in the face of a crisis precipitated by the disappearance of his teenage niece, Ramon sees how the past, both personal and political, reappears in the present. The book's a departure for John in terms of the story he sets out to tell, but like all his books, it's finely written and so smart about how we live and love. I liked it very much, and was so pleased when he said he'd actually have time to come over here.
While we had our virtual visit, John and I had a virtual conversation. I wish you were all here, drinking tea and eating cookies. But this post really is the next best thing. Come to think of it, it might actually BE the best thing. After all, to get here you don't have to pack your liquid goods into ziplock bags or take your shoes off to go through security, or suffer any of the indignities of air travel. You just have to turn on your computer, and then you get to hear John on the book, the tour, and how on earth he managed to parent children who still read his interviews. So… here it is:
When I've done author interviews in the past, readers have been very interested in the intersection of personal history and fiction. Can you talk about how you transformed life into fiction in Winged With Death?
That's difficult. Winged with Death is fiction, I'm quite clear about that. But there, of course, aspects of my own life and my own experiences tucked in here and there quite consciously, and equally, there will be aspects of my life experience which are in there without my knowledge.
I never consciously write into a fiction a picture of someone I know, or have known in real life, and the characters in my novels, as in most novels, are made up out of bits and pieces of a multitude of real characters, fictional characters from books and movies, and, I often suspect, from shadow parts of my own personality which I have suppressed in my personal life for one reason or another.
The central character in Winged with Death is Ramon, and he, like myself, is an Englishman. He has spent part of his life out of the country, in South America, and I have spent part of my life out of the country, but in my case the stay abroad was in Europe.
Perhaps the main similarity is that we are both tango dancers. But he is a teacher and a master of the dance, whereas I am merely a social dancer, often with two left feet.
I don't have the fraught emotional relationships that Ramon has, though my emotional relationships have not always been entirely stable.
Something else. Ramon is involved in writing his own autobiography, something I would never consider attempting.
Perhaps there are more similarities between the two of us that I am still unconscious of. I honestly don't know. I'm concerned that my fictions resemble real life enough to convince me and my readers that they are dealing with real human beings like themselves, involved in a variety of relationships. But beyond that I am mainly concerned with ideas and with language.
Winged with Death takes on important political issues. It is also hugely entertaining. Writing a book that is not didactic, but still delivers a powerful message about and against a repressive regime is no easy feat. How did you manage that?
The book took a long time to write. For most of that time it wasn't working the way I intended it to. Fiction only works when it is specific, when it depicts the struggles of individuals in a truthful way. Getting hold of that truth and pinning it down in a novel is never easy. But I suppose when one chooses a real location and a real span of social or political history, there is always the tendency that the individual's story will be overtaken by the momentous events involved.
The job of the writer, then, is to keep plugging away, a little like someone mining for gold, until the thing starts to shine from the inside out.
Two of the most important characters in the book are teenagers, about whom you write with sensitivity and authority. Many of the people who read this blog are parents of teens. Could you talk about your experiences as a parent and as a teenager — any advice?
Questions are supposed to get easier, you know, not more difficult. I have had five children. They are all now well past their teens – (thank you, Jesus) – and have left home and formed relationships with others and for the most part live far enough away that visits have to be planned in advance. I remind myself that that was the object of the enterprize – their independence.
I have no advice.
There were good moments and there were others; all in all I think things improved dramatically once the teenage years were left behind, or perhaps it was the mere act of moving away from the parental home.
With hindsight it seems to me sometimes that each of my children arrived with an agenda, and there was little that I did that made any changes to that. They were, each of them, aimed right from the start to the places in life they now occupy. The role of myself and my partner was only to feed them and keep them safe so they could arrive more or less intact.
And my relationship with them now? Sshhhh. Most of them will be reading this.
You've been on tour for quite some time with Winged With Death. How was your trip? Any surprises or common experiences? (By the way, John's touring reviews can be found here.)
No real surprises, apart from the fatigue. It was a little like actual touring, relating to new people two or three times a week, answering comments, coming up with original answers, striving to listen – really listen – to the questions. The blogs I toured were a very mixed bunch. Some were popular sites with many commentors and a busy atmosphere. Others more like personal sites, with little happening. But I arranged it like that, as I wanted to elicit a variety of responses from different groups of people. It's been good. I'd do it again. Better than actual touring – you get to sleep in your own bed.
I've been reading your blog since 2006, when I first noticed that things called blogs existed. Could you talk about how you came to blogging, and how your blogging has evolved? Longevity in blogging interests me very much, because I'd like to keep writing for a long time — how do you keep it up?
Committment. I started blogging in 2002, quite near to the beginning. I'd always kept a journal, and there was never anything in it that was too personal to talk about. I used the computer every day anyway and it struck me that I could do both things together. I designed my own blogging software to start with and modified it to suit for the next three years. Eventually I moved over to the open source software by WordPress and for much of the time I blogged every single day. Now I only blog when I've got something to say; it doesn't have to be much, anything I've learned or heard that strikes my own interest seems to me to be worth passing on. I'm especially interested in words and writing and reading so I blog about those things. Then I get involved in wider cultural issues, film, theatre, exhibitions, etc. Sometimes politics, but not often.
I suppose I keep it up because I don't see a divide between blogging and the other writing I do. It's all writing. Sometimes it's a novel, or a short story, and sometimes it's blogging. When I get up in the morning the only single thing I'm absolutely sure about is that I'm going to write.

You may have been issued an ultimatum by your loved ones that you'll lose them unless you significantly change your behavior. How your personal life develops depends on the effort you put into it, but how do you start? There are some fantastic suggestions in this article to help you begin.
Stress is what often brings down happiness. Feeling stressed can influence your mood and your body. If we desire to work toward our goals calmly and methodically with a clear head, we have to eliminate the stress inside our heads. Allow yourself a set time during each day that you can relax and empty your mind. Having a time to refresh can give you peace and improve your self-image.
You will miss opportunities if you avoid making important decisions. You should not fear making decisions even if you do not feel as sure about it as you would like to be. Making decisions helps build your instincts of right and wrong. Even bad decisions serve a purpose, as they teach valuable lessons. If you make the wrong decision, chances are you, you will not make it again.
Base your development plan on your values and goals. Focusing on areas you don't value, doesn't make sense. It is more important to develop the areas of your life that correspond with your values. If you do this, you can make lifelong positive changes, both personally and professionally.
A crucial part of any personal development program is to take special care in providing for your own physical needs. Not getting enough sleep, getting a lot of exercise, and eating well can help you stay on top of your game, and help you win at self improvement. This sounds like obvious advice, but it's sometimes hard to put into practice.
Self improvement often requires personal sacrifice. It may not, however, always be easy. That said, if you do some introspection and take advantage of social support, you should be able to accomplish this, and maybe even teach others. Let this article inspire you to take that first, crucial step toward self betterment.

A week ago a story broke about a Massachusetts school that used the results of standardized BMI testing to send home letters to kids in the school who fell into the categories of "overweight" and "obese". It caused quite an uproar with parents of those students and across the country. I've stewed on this for a bit because it sets off a series of reactions complicated by so many issues including the economics of shopping for healthy food, the self-esteem of developing children, popular culture's obsession with skinny and the reactionary campaign of celebrating big as beautiful.
A copy of the letter sent can be seen here. It does state that BMI cannot account for all aspects of weight and it suggests that the results of this basic test be used to have a discussion with the child's physician and to contact the school if they do not have one.
As a nation we have a problem with health issues related to obesity and the trend is growing, alarmingly so in children. This is a fact agreed upon by health professionals across the industry. It can be confirmed by a visit Walmart. How to handle it and when to handle it is where the debate comes in. Especially with children. However, it is important enough to address and work toward solutions on the issue of childhood obesity that First Lady Michelle Obama has made it her cause celebre during her time in the White House.
Children are at the mercy of the adults around them for learning healthy eating and lifestyle habits. No one can pretend that they haven't seen a truly fat kid and shook their head at the bad parenting on display. I don't mean husky kids, or those that have put on weight right before a growth spurt. There is a wide range of body types that happen as adolescence wreaks its havoc. I'm talking about the truly indescribably fat kids that no amount of hormone imbalance or baby weight can explain away. The ones who truly embody, so to speak, the problem of childhood obesity.
The decision to hand out the letters was a terrible idea. The school should have been more sensitive, with phone calls to the parents, or mailed out sealed letters. That is clear. However, I'm fascinated by the reasons for the negative reactions in some cases. One parent described that they were angry because some kids went to bed feeling bad about themselves because of the letters.
Let's be honest. If that letter said a child was obese, not just overweight, another kid at the school or on the playground has said it before. More than once. I'm not saying that's okay, but acting as though these letters suddenly ruined some heretofore perfectly healthy self-esteem in a child is highly unlikely. Kids are smart and intuitive, and they have functioning mirrors too if the mockery of other children wasn't already enough.
There are undoubtedly some kids whose development and muscle mass skew their results, this is the issue many have with just using BMI as an indicator of health, and this would account for some incorrect results. However, I find myself irritated that the vast majority of responses were variations on "that's offensive" (see my previous blog on this phrase here) instead of dealing with the insensitive nature of the news delivery and then moving on to dealing with the actual problem raised by the testing. One third of the students registered as overweight or obese. That is a problem. Children should be protected, and yes, absolutely, be sensitive to their emotions and feelings in addressing the problem, but address the actual problem!
It's hard for me to take parents crying "That's so rude!" very seriously because it seems like a standard deflection motivated by anger at the perceived implication that they are being called bad parents because their kid is fat. And actually, they kind of are. Being called bad parents.
Kids don't make themselves unhealthy, they do not make enough of their own decisions to be held responsible. Their parents do. They should be held accountable or at the very least encouraged to teach their children better habits. These parents who are upset should meet with the school about handling sensitive issues, then they should do the work of focusing on their children's health. Regardless of the botched delivery, this is what the school is at least trying to do. That is an effort above and beyond their required jobs as educators that should be molded into the correct form of expression and then applauded.
I hope that in between interviews about how offended they were, these parents made appointments with their children's physicians, you know, just to do the good parenting thing and be on the safe side.

Urijah Faber Puts Takeya Mizugaki to Sleep in First Round
Much speculation surrounded how a weight cut to 135 pounds would affect Urijah Faber (24-4) on Thursday night at WEC 52, and just like he did his opponent Takeya Mizugaki (13-5-2), he quickly put to rest any doubts regarding the situation. After applying a rear naked choke on Mizugaki late in the first round, Faber put to sleep his opposition to cap off an impressive win in his debut performance at the bantamweight division.
"I felt great, you know. I wanted to make a statement," Faber said on the WEC Post-Fight Show on VERSUS. "Mizugaki is a very tough dude. He's gone the distance with some very tough people, and I'm all about finishing fights, you know. That's what this sport is all about. It's not about having a game, it's about proving you're the man. This is life or death out there. It's fun, but I wanted to make a statement."
The action in this fight started with a bit of a stand-up exchange until the duo took it to a clinch on the fence about a minute into the first frame. Both competitors were jockeying for position, keeping the battle a close-range affair. With about 2:15 left in the round, the clinch was broken for a return to stand-up. Faber appeared to be landing the harder of the strikes at this point, and he then shot on his opponent for the first time with just under two minutes remaining. Mizugaki blocked the attempt, but Faber was able to work himself into back control and quickly applied a standing guillotine. He tried to lock in the choke, eventually forcing his opposition to the canvas. He then rolled into a rear naked choke and began to suck the air out of his Japanese counterpart, which immediately began to work. Mizugaki refused to tap out from the choke, but Faber held on to smother him to sleep. At 4:50 of the opening frame, referee Josh Rosenthal was forced to wave off the bout.
"I think I'm the best guy in the division," Faber stated after the win. "I don't care when I get to prove that, but I'm going to keep fighting and beating people up."
As far as the weight loss was concerned, Faber said it was something that worked in his favor.
"I've been a really great dietician throughout the years," he remarked. "I did five years in college (as a wrestler) at 133 pounds for six months out of the year, exactly the same size that I am right now, and that was horrible. This is every couple four months, and it's actually nice to get back to a really clean diet."
With the win, Faber looks to get on a steady climb in the bantamweight rankings, and his next professional fight will be his first in the UFC. The WEC and UFC announced an official merger in October, and WEC 53 in December will be the promotion's last show under that banner.

Every once in a while, all of my kids enter into their own little imaginary world
Although their imaginary worlds tend to create all kinds of creative mess,
it really is bliss (for me).
The Kidlets spent three whole days in the world they created. I actually have no idea what it was they were playing....but it looked like a hobo town to me.
A very well armed hobo town.
One you wouldn't want to just sneak up on,

It looks like they also might be signalling for more small hobos to join their ranks.
I'm not sticking around long enough to find out.
They scare me.
One year ago today, after several months of working, wondering, waiting, glitches, and set backs, this little face popped up in my email inbox.
Our official "Child proposal".
Our match.
Without a doubt in our minds we replied
"We will pursue this child, we intend to make him our son. "
I think it was a miracle that we would even *know* or trust enough to sign those papers for a child we'd never met.
I can't explain how we both knew this was our son, but we did. I can't even begin to explain it.
I was willing to go to the ends of the earth to find him,
and I'm so glad we did.
It was nothing short of a gift of God's grace, provision, and providence...
in our life and his.
A beautiful, life filled, joy bringing gift.
I still find it amusing that the name given to him in China was "Qiu" meaning Autumn/ harvest.
Somehow this time of year is significant, marking not only his name but most major milestones and transitions in his life.
(Including his birthday which is coming up in a couple weeks!)
His "birthday",
his abandonment/ finding as a toddler,
a couple different major transitions between foster care and orphanages,
and his forever parents claiming him as their own
all happened during harvest season.
I'm not one to read too much into things like that,
but this time of year does cause me to pause, give thanks, remember, and celebrate all that the Lord has done in his life....and will continue to do.
It's that time of year again.
Harvest 2013 has officially begun.
Soli Deo Gloria,

|Character Name
|Refuses to tell, Late teens - early 20s?
|Appears to be around 5 Feet. (And up.)
|REFUSES to be weighed. (284 lbs. and up)
|Sheela is a perky, voluptuous Lombax lady with a healthy appetite. She's a mechanic and an inventor, and she loves her job. She's insecure about her unique physique, and keeps to herself for the most part. A bit of a nerd, she enjoys to stay in her work stall and invent and/or fix things with occasional tinkering to make them better. She's friendly and chipper, but very curious.
|Fur/Skin/Scale Colour
|A mixture of creams and light browns. Very soft and remotely short. It's a bit fluffy around her cheeks, knees and her elbows, but that's about it.
|Hair Colour
|A deep, dark, slightly pale brown that's very shiny, like it has oil in it.
|Eye Colour
|A tight fitting jumpsuit that was made for her by her coworker, because the normal ones kept ripping due to her figure. It has a tempered steel name-tag on it and it zippers down the front with a hole in the back for her tail. She also wears sandals that were made by her coworker as well, made specifically because of the size of her paws.
Her second outfit is a pair of ripped blue jean short-shorts and a formfitting white tank top.
Last but not least is her space-travel suit, which is best depicted by the picture. Though it may not look fit for space, the white glowing orbs emanate a strong shield that protects her body.
|A strange necklace with a purple marble-like ball. It has blue swirls in it, and appears to even have stars. In reality, there's a galaxy in it. It's held onto a beaten black leather strap by a steel clasp. A pair of orange goggles with a dial on the side. They have lots of functions and are constantly being updated by her coworker. Their original use was for magnification. A heavy duty watch that reads in several times and constantly updates as the wearer moves. A simple belt with a holster attachment.
|A very unique raygun that she built herself. It has two dials; One for setting and one for intensity. The intensity reads 0 through 10, and level 10 is broken, thus it's actually level 20.
The settings thus far are:
Stun - Intensity setting determines the effectiveness and amount of time that the target remains stunned.
Invisibility - Intensity setting determines the amount of time that the invisibility lasts.
Transformation - Intensity setting determines what the target is transformed into.
Singular Expansion - Intensity setting determines how much the singular area of the target is expanded.
Singular Compression - Intensity setting determines how much the singular part of the target is compressed.
Intact Expansion - Intensity setting determines how much the target is expanded in general. (Full body growth.)
Intact Compression - Intensity setting determines how much the target is compressed in general. (Full body shrinking.)
Transformation Settings
1: Particle Solidification/Transmogrification - This setting can turn the target into a general inanimate object. Popular things that people can turn into on setting one are statues, dolls, paper weights, cups, cutlery. Really the only limit is one's imagination.
2: Partial Genus Reassignment - This turns the target into a random species. There's really no telling what they'll turn into, but in the end it'll still be anthromorphic.
3: Complete Genus Reassignment - This turns the target into a random feral species.
4: Atomic Nourishment Conversion - This turns the target into something more… edible. It can range over any type of food, from vegetables to candies.
5: Molecular Liquification Distribution - Turns the target into a liquid us form, also known as a goo-person.
6: Hyperon Digital Matter-to-Data Converter - This turns the target into raw data and automatically uploads them to Sheela's PDA, leaving her to do what she wishes with the data once it's there.
7: Molecular Vaporization - This turns the target into a general vapor, mist or fume.
8: Appendage Repproximation - This can either add limbs to the target, or take them away. Again, it's completely random.
9: Gender Reassignment/Transfiguration - Changes the target's gender.
10: This setting is tricky. Seeing as setting ten malfunctions often and is really level twenty, this causes the setting to take on a random combination of ANY of the levels with each pull of the trigger. A roulette of sorts. There's no telling what could happen if you get shot by this setting.
|Special Abilities
|Sheela has an outstanding and uncanny talent when it comes to munitions. It's not quite known why she's so good with plasma and chemical weaponry, and when asked about it, she skillfully dodges the question every time.
|Outstanding Features
|There are several things about Sheela that ultimately make her a very unique creature. It's not exactly known why or how she became the way she is, but more than likely these unique things about her fueled the way she carries out her day to day life.
First and foremost, Sheela has four parallel stomachs for easier digestion and faster absorption of food. She eats an awful lot, and this is probably one of the reasons that she does. A constant desire to be full makes her eat six meals a day with a snack between each meal, and a large midnight snack with is essentially just another meal. Most people wouldn't really notice that fact that she has four stomachs unless they saw the four openings that lead to the four separate stomachs, and that is a slim to none chance because of how dark it is inside of her.
Sheela's mouth creates copious amounts of saliva, and the consistency of it isn't what most would consider normal. It's thicker, almost akin to the weight and texture of syrup. It helps break down normal foods faster, and also makes it harder for prey's to put up as much of a fight. (This doesn't mean they can't put up a fight at all.) Also, the thickness of her saliva makes for better lubrication when swallowing, so she can take larger gulps and consume more food.
Sheela as a person is a bit of a gear-head and has the ability to fix almost anything. Her natural occupation is a mechanic that builds hoverbikes, and she's an inventor on the side that builds practical, heavy duty weaponry as well as a slew of useful items. She has an uncanny amount of knowledge in the areas of mechanics, technology and things of that ilk.
Sheela has a strange disorder which makes her crave any food that's in the vicinity. To put it simply, if there's food in the area and she so much as smells it, she has to eat it. Locking up food supplies around her would be incredibly smart, and people should be careful not to be too small around food. Or, even worse, turn into food. She devours any food-product without a second thought, no matter how full she is.
Other than her unique oral features, Sheela has several external unique features as well. Such as, exceptionally thick hips, large footpaws, and a rather large behind. Also, her tail is 12' 2" long and can lift up to ten times her weight, relative to her size, whatever her size may be at the time.
|She's very chipper and shy, eager to please. She keeps to herself for the most part, but she can be incredibly curious, for better or for worse.
|She comes from the year 2301, (Circa Ratchet&Clank/Jak&Daxter) and is a mechanic at a hoverbike shop. On the side, she invents things that she also gets paid for. She's won loads of awards for her inventions. Her true background is a mystery. Where does she come from? Where is her family? No one knows. Or more along the lines of she prefers not to talk about it.
|Eating, cooking, cheeseburgers, potatoes, apple fritters, tinkering with electronics, building, fixing things, inventing, her job, most of her coworkers, her work team.
|People that stare at her, people that attempt to claim credit for her inventions, fake fruit, generally commenting on her footpaw size.
|Look around; She's hard to miss.
|Additional Info
|Her curiosity fuels most anything she does that could be considered wrong, dirty, or unjust. She wants to learn more about everything at any cost it seems. And, she has a thing for naturally short and chubby critters, finding them to be adorable. A particular soft spot for Ottsels.
Also, being a Lombax, she has a naturally fast metabolism. Her physique is actually more of a hereditary problem, a mixture of her muscle build and skeletal frame. Although eating six meals a day (Not including snacks) probably doesn't help her physique get any slimmer, she enjoys eating and cooking far too much to cut down.
|Favourite Quote
|"Rome wasn't built in the day. But if I'd been building it, I probably could have done it twice as fast."

Series Record
JU vs Rhode Island: 1-0
JU vs Rhode Island at JU: 1-0
- Jacksonville triumphed in the lone meeting between the two, a 7-2 decision on March 15, 1993.
Probable Starting Pitchers:
Friday: RHP Chris Gau (0-2, 7.36 ERA) vs. LHP Tyler Wilson (0-1, 6.00 ERA)
Saturday: RHP Tyler Santana (1-1, 3.00 ERA) vs. RHP Matt Murphy (0-0, 0.69 ERA)
Sunday: RHP Mike Cassala (1-0, 0.75) vs. RHP Vitaly Jangols (1-1, 2.92 ERA)
Mid-Week Wrap-Up
The Dolphins returned home for a mid-week tilt Tuesday evening, dropping a contest to #3/4 Florida State, 4-0. Despite being subject to the strikeout, six combined JU pitchers fired 13 of their own, the most in a game on the season thus-far. Sophomore Ruben Someillan led the team offensively, landing a pair of hits in four at-bats.
On-Deck Circle
- Four JU pitchers recorded career-highs in strikeouts last week. First, it was freshman RHP Austin Temple, who fanned six in 2.1 innings of relief on Tuesday at Bethune-Cookman. Then on Saturday, Cassala threw six innings in a start at Georgia State, striking out eight, before he was relieved by freshman RHP Chris Mauloni, who earned his first career win in 2.1 of scoreless relief and K'd four. Rookie Trent Palmer joined the K party Tuesday evening, striking out five batters in three innings of relief.
- Mauloni still has a perfect 0.00 ERA after his third appearance of the season Saturday night. He has now thrown 5.2 scoreless innings in relief, and has registered two saves and a win.
- Senior pitchers Spencer Stockton and Matt Meyer both made their season debuts last weekend. RHP Stockton struck out two and allowed just one hit in two scoreless innings of relief on Friday, while LHP Meyer allowed two runs on one hit in one inning Saturday.
- 1B Angel Camacho finished last week with four RBI, including his first game-winning run batted in, which came in the top of the ninth on Saturday at Georgia State. A pop-up in the infield deflected off the second base bag into shallow left, scoring Chris Lehane for what ended resulted in the game-winning score.
- JU has used seven different batting orders through the first eight games of the season, keeping the first four batters the same in each contest.
- Rhode Island is one of three schools from the A-10 Conference that JU will face off against this season, with Richmond traveling to the River City for a mid-week tilt on March 13, and the Dolphins traveling north to meet Saint Louis for a weekend series in April.
Scouting Rhode Island
- Rhode Island travels to Jacksonville in the midst of an 18 game road trip to begin the 2017-18 season. The Rams opened their campaign by dropping a weekend series with #9 Texas A&M, before spitting a four-game outing with Seattle, winning the final two contests. URI will now spend the next three weekends in the Sunshine State, playing JU, #1/1 Florida, Army (in DeLand, Fla.) and Stetson during that time.
- Led by two-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year Raphael Cerrato, Rhody was picked to finish third in the 2017-18 A-10 Preseason Poll, finishing behind Saint Louis and VCU.
- The team returns all nine starting pitchers from last season, including 2017 Preseason All-American Tyler Wilson, who missed the majority of last year due to injury.

Romania/ 8.3 Arts and cultural education
8.3.5 Basic out-of-school arts and cultural education
Extracurricular activities are considered to be one of the favorite means of offering pupils the possibility to develop their talents or skills. In the out-of-schools arts and cultural education sector there are legal provisions that promote the extracurricular activities on a national level as well as the collaboration between schools, museums and the artistic world in general. Order 5567/2011 approves the organisation and operation of the establishments providing extra-school activity by providing a main legislative framework. Also within the Ministry of Education, The Lifelong Education and Learning Department has approved the calendar of national educative activities for 2012 and out of 13 sections, 7 refer to cultural subjects such as visual arts, literature , music, folklore and so on, (http://www.edu.ro/index.php/articles/16608).
In terms of collaboration between schools and the artistic world, a system that fosters the cultural education of pupils is developing. Therefore, within the framework of the administrative decentralisation, cooperation between museums and schools is encouraged

Genre: Crime/ Evil
DEMONS by Jayashree Ghosh
Some alcoholic demons from hell
Have come to the earth
In the disguise of men.
These demons roam about
Freely in the streets
Like beasts out of the den.
Their targets are majorly women
The innocent women
Who complete our lives.
The mothers, daughters, sisters,
And the homely wives.
But alas! The demons see them
As only flesh and blood
Always hungry to tear them apart
To spoil their sweet dreams or aims
Their legal wish to lead a normal life.
The demon is always out there
Watching secretly, hiding somewhere
Beware! One mistake and they'll get you.
The demons show no mercy
They devour you up in tiny bits
One by one leaving no clue.
The demons then pushes you
Throw you like a garbage
Somewhere bloody and red.
The innocent happy girl
You now face slow and painful death
A sight…

Get to know me better through my Instagram: @xotina143
My review of Kimchikin – Delicious Korean food. I don't know if it's an authentic Korean place, but the food is amazing, so it doesn't matter if it's the real deal.
I loved how they incorporated kimchi flavours into their fries. I loved the spicy flavours as regular fries are so simple and boring. The portion size was great for one person.
The seaweed noodles were delicious. Even though it was a bit oily and had less seafood in it, the noodles and soup were good.
This restaurant deserves a rating of 4/5.
I ordered the kimchi fries for 18DHS, and the seafood seaweed noodles combo for 37DHS.
The pricing of the dishes served here was inexpensive for the quality of food, so it was a good value!
The service that I received here was friendly and fast.
The ambience of this restaurant was a decent sized place with lots of seating available. I felt that it was clean and inviting, and had great decor.

Do you want to get approved for Google Adsense, BUT you don't have a single clue about how to go about getting your Adsense publisher ID?
It's been a while - a little more than 4 years since I was approved for my Adsense ID, but I remember the frustration over not knowing what to do or how to do it.
This lens reveals EXACTLY what you need to do to in 5 simple to follow steps.
And even though things have changed a bit since I was approved for Adsense 4 years ago, I don't see any reason why you can't get your Adsense publisher ID following the same steps.
Before you get started, I have a quick question to ask you .
What's kept you from getting your Adsense publisher ID?.
Please take a hot minute to answer this poll questionI do appreciate it.
I was approved for my Google Adsense publisher ID on 4/7/07. It took me just 6 days total time to get approved.
NOTE: As I mentioned in the introduction a few things have changed since April 2007.
But in spite of the things that have changed since I first put this guide together, I believe you can still get approved for Google Adsense by following the 5 steps I present here on this lens.
I believe The Keys to me getting approved for my Adsense publisher ID on the very first attempt were: (1) choosing a niche topic that had commercial value, and (2) creating unique, high quality content that was relevant to my niche.
What does "Commercial Value" mean?
Here's what I mean: the niche topic or related search terms are attractive enough for advertisers with a product or service to sell, to run pay-per-click (PPC) ad campaigns on Google's Adwords program.
When it comes to tools to help you research potential niche markets to target, there is an overabundance of them in my opinion. So many that you need a tool (or at least a "how to" guide) to help you pick the right one for your online projects!
The 3 Google tools you can use to discover worthwhile niche topics for this project are: 1.Google Insights for Search, 2.Google Trends, and 3.Google External Keyword tool.
These are my favorite free niche research tools.
This excellent video tutorial reveals how to use the Google Insights for Search tool to do deep level keyword research starting with a seed topic.
This YouTube video shows you how to use the Google Trends tool to gauge behavior for the keywords you generated with Google Insights for Search.
Now that you have generated some ideas for commercial search terms that you believe would make a great topic for this project and you've analyzed the trends for these search terms, it's time to create a list of keywords that you can target.
The set up for Blogger is very simple.
So I've removed the modules that went through Step 1: Setting up your account, Step 2: Naming your Blogger blog & choosing a URL, and Step 3: Making your Blogspot look like a real website.
When Google rolled out the initial 'Panda' update (a/k/a the 'Farmer' update) to it's search engine algorithm in February of 2011, Google wanted to improve user experience by weeding out thin low quality blogs and websites that were gaming the system from their search engine rankings.
I'm changing what I'm recommending you do with respect to (1) the number of posts you create, and (2) the length of those blog posts. So you want to write informative, relevant blog posts that are well written, have no misspellings or errors in grammar.
This is completely different than what I did to get approved for the Adsense program in 2007, but it is a prime example of how quickly things can change up in the internet marketing world.
What did I do?: I created 2 detailed 650 word posts on my subject that were very informative. I spaced the posts 2 days apart, added a detailed topic related "About" page and added an RSS feed covering news about my topic.
In case you're wondering about the topic I chose, I chose a medical condition.
What do you do when you feel like you can't write to save your life or you can write, but it's a real struggle for you to write the blog posts you need for this project?
Almost everyone has some PLR (private label rights) articles on their PC. Don't let your PLR content continue to gather digital dust on your hard drive; if it's not junk, think about putting it to use for this project.
Back in the day -- before the 'Panda' updates, many internet marketing experts said it was okay to do a light rewrite that was 35 - 55% unique. But today doing that level of PLR rewrite would be a complete waste of your time and will get you nowhere fast!
Don't be lazy and just do synonym replacements with your favorite article spinning tool! You need to edit, rewrite and beef up the content from your perspective.
If you have trouble writing, I suggest you (1) buy an inexpensive private label rights article pack from PLR MiniMart, PLR a La Carte or NetPLR . I've purchased some excellent PLR content from all 3 and I highly recommend them.
GistWeb is a free tool that can give you the summary or "gist" of a web page's content. You can also use it with web search summaries.
You can apply for Adsense through Blogger.com from your blogspot's Template tab under Page Elements sub heading or you can submit your application thru the main sign up page for Adsense .
Tip: When you sign up for Adsense, use an existing e-mail address other than the one you created your Google account with.
That's it - if you followed the instructions in this lens you will be approved for Google Adsense in 2 - 3 days.
Do you think I've earned a 'Like' from you for the information I've given to you in this Squidoo lens on how to get approved for your Adsense publisher ID?
If you think I've done a good job, please take a hot second to Like my lens (sign into Squidoo and give your rating at the top of this page) and add me to your favorites.
I would also appreciate your help in getting the word out about my 5 Easy Steps to Getting Approved For Adsense lens, so please Facebook 'like' , Tweet or 1 this lens page.
This module only appears with actual data when viewed on a live lens.

If eye is imagined as a camera, then the retina performs photo film role.
It is a very thin light- sensitive layer of tissue on which the projected visual information is then forwarded to the brain.
At the very center of the retina is the macula. The macula is a very specific portion of the retina as it is responsible for central vision, namely recognizing complex shapes, fine objects, and it is used for reading.
Sometimes macular holes formed in the area that interferes with its normal operation. These holes severely affect vision, particularly reading and other visually complex tasks, such as knitting, soldering, etc.
Macular hole is a defect at the central part of the retina when the tear occurs through the retina.
THE Normal retina IS inside the pressed vitreous humor, a gel-forming body inside the eye. All people as they age have an ongoing vitreous detachment.
In cases where it is closely fused with the retina, vitreous disturbance is formed, as a result, it distorts the retina, creating cracks and holes.
If vitreous deformation is formed at the macula, it is known as a vitreomacular traction.
Vitreomacular traction is a condition in which the vitreous gel has an abnormally strong adhesion to the retina. Over time, the gel tends to pull forward and can cause vessel and retinal distortion causing retinal swelling and decreased vision. This in turn can lead to a macular hole.
What can the doctors suggest ?
The only way to treat macular holes is surgery. Eye drops and glasses are ineffective.
Some patients decide to affected non-operated eye, assuming that the central vision will be reduced. Typically, this happens when the other eye is healthy and outcome good.
Operation, during which surgery is being treated macular hole, called vitrectomy. During the operation, a gel-forming mesh structure is removed in the field to make it clear the retina macular area. Then there is introduced into the eye, a gas bubble, which presses against the retina and pushed it back.
The Gas bubble is eventually absorbed by the body, but the inside of the eye is filled intraocular fluid. In this way the retina remain in place.
How much visual acuity is recover after the operation is determined by the size of the hole, as well as how long it was before the surgery.
You certainly should consult with your doctor in deciding on the conduct of the operation !
