Can Regina leave Storybrooke? Is Lancelot really dead? It's time for Round 2 to get the answers!
Before Once Upon a Time airs what executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis call their favorite episode ever Sunday — in which we meet Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) — TVGuide.com decided it's time for our second Lightning Round with the brain trust behind ABC's fairy-tale drama.
Lightning Round 1: Once Upon a Time bosses answer your burning questions!
We grabbed your fan questions off Twitter and hit up Hororwitz and Kitsis for a quick round of scoop, in which the producers had the option to answer, "Yes," "No" or "Can't Answer." Some of their answers, and possible non-answers, are pretty telling, so check them out below:
Was it Aurora's (Sarah Bolger) mother that Regina (Lana Parrilla) was referring to back in Season 1 who got the best of Maleficent (Kristin Bauer)?
Edward Kitsis: Yes.
Might we ever see that?
Adam Horowitz: We might!
Is there ever a chance for romance between Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and August (Eion Bailey)?
Kitsis: I would say that Emma is definitely going to have some interesting suitors this year, but August has, so far, been such a big brother to her that I'm not sure that those two are meant to be. But it's a TV show; you never know!
Horowitz: We haven't seen the last of those two together on the show.
Once Upon a Time's Jane Espenson: Snow and Emma's journey will be a long one
Would the consequences be as severe if Regina left Storybrooke considering she doesn't have an alter-ego memory?
Hororwitz: No. It would not be as severe.
Will other characters cross into fairy-tale land?
Hororwitz: We take the fifth.
Will Belle (Emilie de Ravin) ever confront Regina for locking her up?
Hororwitz: She should!
Even though Cora (Barbara Hershey) says she killed Lancelot (Sinqua Walls), have we seen the last of him?
Horowitz: No.
Kitsis: Why does everyone just believe what Cora says? Not one person on the blogs have doubted Cora, as if she's the most trustworthy character that we have! She's not Snow White, for God's sake!
Could Cora have good intentions?
Hororwitz: I think everybody thinks they do.
Going back to Lancelot, is there a chance of seeing Guinevere or Arthur?
Kitsis: There is a chance of seeing it, perhaps this season, but definitely someday we will.
Will we ever see flashbacks to pre-Emma Storybrooke when the curse was intact?
Horowitz: We're very interested in that period as well.
Once Upon a Time: Now that the curse has been broken, the real trouble begins
Will we see how Henry (Jared Gilmore) ended up in Storybrooke?
Kitsis: Yes, it's just a matter of when.
Is King George (Alan Dale) still hell-bent on revenge?
Kitsis: Oh yeah! Keep watching!
Are you an Emma and August 'shipper? Let them hear it in the comments!
Make sure to tweet your best Once Upon a Time questions to @NatalieAbrams to be included in Round 3!
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Hello Everybody! I am very excited to take part again in the Day of Archaeology! I enjoyed taking part last year and afterwards reading the posts from all over the world.
My name is Molly Swords and I am a historical archaeologist. I work for SWCA Environmental Consultants and teach the Applied Cultural Resource Management class at the University of Idaho. Currently, I have number of "irons in the fire" and multi-tasking is a necessity. As others have probably mentioned there are a number of days that you are not outside in the field. This happens to be one of those days.
I start my day off with patronizing one of the many coffee stands around Moscow. I know what a busy day it is going to be… so, this is my little moment of Zen. A 24oz vanilla coffee is going to see me through the first part of the day.
Upon arriving at work, I answer a number of different emails about various projects. The first email greeting me is a reply to an email I sent yesterday, including information that I gathered at the Washington State University Archives. I was able to venture over to WSU's Special Collections and Archives to look over documents to help out some colleagues, Bob Weaver and Bruce Schneider, in another SWCA office. Part of the fascination of historical archaeology for me is getting to actually look through records to further explain the story.
Another email I received was from a University of Idaho student that I taught last semester. She had a few questions about field school, as she would be attending her first one soon. I quickly replied to her… conveying a little of my jealousy that she would soon be out at the Rosebud Battlefield Field School.
Since I am teaching a class in the fall for the University of Idaho, a small part of my day is doing some administrative things in preparation for that class, including ensuring all my paperwork is in order to get my new identity card (as mine expires on July 1st) and that I've made an appointment to get trained on the technology equipment for the room that I will teach in. I contemplate thinking of which books to assign… and then decide that today is the day not to go down that rabbit hole. Though preparation for the class can be tedious, I love engaging archaeology students in discussions of real-world archaeology.
I had a phone call with my SWCA PI (principal investigator), Jim Bard. We caught up on future opportunities and what is going on with the current project that we are working on Sandpoint, the main cultural resource project that I am involved with – a multi-year historical archaeology project in its final stages. I am compiling technical reports and editing versions coming back from the editors. With a collection of close to 600,000 artifacts this is no small feat.
In between all of these things going on, I am working on a proposal. My SWCA supervisor Mini Sharma Ogle and I email about setting up a time to chat on Monday about the logistics of writing a project proposal and budget to monitor a construction area for cultural resources.
It is around this time that I realize that I have not had lunch… the coffee has worked its magic until after 2pm. So, I grab a quick lunch with the Sandpoint Lab Director, Amanda Haught. It just so happens that this day is her last day as Lab Director. So, our lunch is a working lunch during which we discuss where things are and what needs to be finished. When we return from lunch, we sit down again and go over things… while I take many notes. I will be stepping in and overseeing the remainder of deaccessioning of collections and be available for the staff for any questions that may arise.
It is around this time that Mark Warner makes his third appearance of the day in our office. Our cluster of offices are almost directly above his office so, it is a short commute for him to come visit. And as one of the PI's of the Sandpoint Project, we see him at least once a day. Amanda and I quickly chat with him about progress of the collection and report.
Coming home and decompressing on the porch, with a jack and coke, which led to drinks with my amazing neighbor, a National Park Service archivist, who is from Wisconsin and makes the best Old Fashions! She told me a popular joke among archivists, "Has Ken touched your collections?" (Ken Burns). Which made me laugh and laugh.
As we sit in her backyard and catch up on our professions, I can't help but think about all the amazing archaeologists that I've had the pleasure of working with on the Sandpoint Project and that I have the best job in the world!
Whew… hope you enjoyed this snapshot of my whirlwind day. FYI- my title is a take on a quote from Alice in Wonderland.

How to add SFS files to a multisession CD/DVD?
Subject description: Where to put the SFS files?
When one creates a multi-session version of Puppy on a CD/DVD, where does one store the SFS files one may want to load?
Since mnt/home would be the root of the optical drive, I am just curious as to how one does this.
And this is also directed to Flash as he seems to have more experience with running multi-session with no hard drive.

I haven't tried to use a sfs file. I think I'd start by putting it on the root of the (rewritable) DVD, using Pburn. In other words, burn it as a session. Then you can mount the DVD and see the sfs file to use it.
I think your question has been asked in the forum before, but I didn't pay much attention. I can't think why. Perhaps it was off-topic for the particular thread where I saw it.

I keep all my sfs files on a USB stick formatted as ext4.
However, if you want them on your CD or DVD - if you put
them in your "archive" directory they will not be auto-
loaded into RAM , but can be accessed for individual
use when needed.

The way I understand that SFS-Load-on-the Fly works, it looks for SFS files in the install subdirectory for a frugal install and also /mnt/home.
How does one get it to recognize SFS files on some other device?
I ask because I have never tried to load SFS files from other than those locations.
Also, when I posted this new post, I put it in the section for regular users.
I have made other posts that have also been moved from one section of the forum to another.
My question is to why the post was moved as the section I posted it in seemed to be the right one.

You find the sfs files (on a mounted drive/partition, USB,
CD or where you put them) and then right click on any sfs
file you want to load (and right click again to unload).
Flash doubtless moved your thread here as this is the
specialised multi-session section, but ..........

Your post seemed specific to multisession, so I moved it to the multisession section of the forum. That way, all the threads that have to do with multisession Puppy are in one place for easy reference. Make sense?
By the way, yours is an important question which apparently hasn't been answered definitively for multisession users. It needs to be solved.

Referring to
thread, would RSH's solution be needed to use sfs files on a multisession DVD, or is there a simpler way?
As I understand it, .pet files are the same as .sfs files, only slightly different.
One solution would be to convert the .sfs files you want to use to .pet files (directions in a recent thread somewhere in the forum) and put them in their own directory (labeled perhaps "pet files") on the multisession DVD. Whenever you want to use a .pet, you'd mount the multisession DVD, go to the "pet files" directory and click on the particular .pet you wanted to use, to install it. I am certain that would work because it is very similar to how I already do things. The difference is that I put the .pet files in a USB flash memory that I leave plugged into the computer and mount when I want to use it. Putting them on the multisession DVD would make them more convenient if you carry the DVD around with you.

Flash and 8-bit,
Put the sfs files anywhere but your CD/DVD, Then right click
on the one you want to load and for load-on-the-fly either left
click or right click sfs_load (as the mood takes you).
They can be unloaded using exactly the same method, though
they will automatically be lost on shutdown or reboot
regardless of any save.
If you want the sfs files on your multisession CD/DVD then
save them there, but either put them in the "archive" or
add them using Pburn in the same way as you could add
any files - without having them loaded into RAM on booting.
Just try it. I only use multi-session and the above works
perfectly, but I actually use seaside's sfs Tray and Exec.

Have you noticed my PM to you? It's an urgent request for the German forum. Thanks.
To load SFS files from cd it is not needed to use
this here solution
. This is only for loading a specified sfs file at boot up, so you can use the applications right after X is loaded.
Usually it should work to load sfs files from cd/dvd using shinobar's sfs_load. But there's a small issue. Shinobar's sfs_load "complains" the location of the sfs to load, if it is on cd/dvd and it wants you to choose what to do and/or where to copy the sfs file/s.
Since it's not really needed to copy the sfs file (one can choose NO COPY) it's a bit uncomfortable - I think.
In Germany the LazY Puppy is now used on school by a German teacher for CNC and CAD etc.pp.. He wants to use the LazY Puppy also from cd/dvd, but wants to run the applications by the RunScripts created by LazY Puppy's SFS P.L.U.S.
The RunScripts do use some special commands for sfs_load, to be able to run the application just by a single click (on menu entry, desktop icon or RunScript) without to have to click any GUI after this.
sfs_load --cli --skip-fixmenus --quiet NameOfSFS.sfs
--cli means command line interface
--skip-fixmenus means, fixmenus will not be executed after the sfs is loaded (shinobar did introduce this command especially for LazY Puppy by a request of mine)
--quiet means don't show a GUI or Information GUI
But if the sfs is on cd/dvd it still brings up the "Copy GUI".
To solve the cd-dvd-copy-gui-problem, I have made some modifications on sfs_load 1.3.9 (which is also still installed in LazY Puppy as lazy_sfs_load) and we can now run applications from sfs from cd/dvd without the need to run sfs_load manually or to click any gui - just by the RunScripts, which will be executed by the menu entries etc.pp.
The RunScripts, created by SFS P.L.U.S. do now have about 300 lines of code and can download the sfs to the boot directory, load the sfs and execute the application just by a single mouse click on the menu entry etc. pp.
But the basic script for all of this has been a simple 8-liner bash script.
I have made a commented and example extended version for you. The attached file is a fake .gz file, so, remove the gz and make it executable.
It is set for the use of
and the
. Just change these settings (editing the parts inside the script) for the use of your preferred sfs and application. It will then load the sfs and execute the application after the sfs is loaded.
I have made a request at shinobar's sfs_load thread for a command to disable the "copy GUI" by a script used command, but he didn't reply so far.
So, you have to click the "copy GUI" away (choose NO COPY) until there is a solution. Or, if wanted, I can send you the lazy_sfs_load to use this here without to click any GUI.
remove .gz and make executable

I just tried the simple-run-script (edited) to run /mnt/home/paintown-3.5.0_sfs4.sfs.
I had no joy when trying to run it from a command line with the following results.
# ./simple-run-script
dirname: invalid option -- 's'
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
grep: invalid option -- 'k'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.

Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.

Try `grep --help' for more information.
sfs_load: '-skip-fixmenus.sfs' seems not registered.
grep: invalid option -- 'k'

Try `grep --help' for more information.
cat: /tmp/sfs_load/sfs_load_tmp.txt: No such file or directory
sfs_load: Could not find the loaded point.
./simple-run-script: line 29: paintown: command not found
So maybe I have other problems.
You also might have noticed that the sfs_load option of "-skip-fixmenus" did not work.
I did this as a test in Puppy Lucid 520 frugal install.
Also, I run Seamonkey and I had removed the hidden /root/.mozilla directory and then created a link to /mnt/home/.mozilla directory so I could use all my Seamonkey settings in any version of Puppy by making a system link to the .mozilla directory in /mnt/home.
So I do not know how that jumped into execution of the simple-run-script!

Would you please send me your changed script?
Do you use sfs_load 1.9x for this. Earlier version do not have the --skip-fixmenus command.

First, the version of SFS load I have has this as at the beginning of the script.
# sfs_load 28 Jan 2011 by shinobar
# some code from the otf_sfs_loader by goingnuts, the sfs_installation.sh by 01micko and scrips by Barry
# 29 Jan 2011 v0.2: fix under RAM mode (PUPSAVE=5), multisession CD support (PUPMODE=77)
# 30 Jan 2011 v0.3: unionfs mount option, fix menu update after unload
# 4 Feb 2011 v0.4: fix was pulldown failed, confirm before move, do not support unionfs other than aufs
# 5 Feb 2011 v0.5: fix was sfs removed from the list even unload failed, search smaller number if pup_roN is not available, fix typo ZDRBASE
# 9 Feb 2011 v0.6: fix was moved remote files, restart X info, launcher (thanks to seaside)
# 11 Feb 2011 v0.7: fix ws not update menu in some case, see aufs even with no module(thanks to jemimah), add new loop device
# 14 Feb 2011 v0.8: warning excessive extra files, restart main dialog, cleanup whiteout at unload(thanks to jpeps and jemimah), mkfontscale, mkfontdir
# 23 Feb 2011 v0.9: improve compatibility under PUPMODE=6 (thanks to mavrothal) and PUPMODE=77
# 23 Feb 2011 v0.9: persistent loading excessive sfs after reboot(idea from jamesbond), main dialog layout(thanks to jamesbond)

And the modified simple-run-script is
# Basic RunScript, first step of the LazY Puppy SFS P.L.U.S. RunScripts
# Edition for the murga forum users to use this on cd/dvd
# Note: adding the path to the sfs name increases the speed of loading a sfs

Hi 8-bit.
1. Is this
# 17 Mar 2011 v1.1: load/unload under PUPMODE=5, launcher
the last entry of this sort of entries on top of the sfs_load script? If so, then you do have sfs_load 1.1 installed. Must use 1.9 and above for this. I don't know anything about 1.1!
2. The script seems to be OK so far (make sure "paintown" is in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin; otherwise add path to the name). To check this, left-click the sfs and have a look into these directories.
3. Question: as far as I know, if running from cd/dvd there is no /mnt/home. If I run from cd/dvd there is /mnt/sr0.
4. Try to run the script without the path. Use only the sfs file name. What happens?
Not to forget: use sfs_load 1.9 and above for this.

I was using my hard drive and files there instead of a SFS on a multisession optical disk.
I will see about getting and installing an updated version of sfs_load and try again.
Thanks for the reply.
I just tried installing SFS_load v 1.4 and that did not work either.
So I uninstalled it and installed sfs_load-1.9.6.pet.
Now I have a successful test on the simple-run-script that I modified.
The only thing I can think that it would be nice is a modification of the script to unload the same SFS file it had loaded when the application it ran was closed.
That way, one would have a script that would load an SFS file, run the application, and upon exiting the application, unload the same SFS file.
Mind you, that is just a thought.
And that way, one would not have to have a bunch of SFS files loaded all the time to use some applications that are in SFS format.

Maybe the sun can shed some light on religion if your look at European depictions of saints they have a sun like halo around their head?
Once catholic faith Erich von Däniken, like me to also after exploring the world of the paranormal I to like erich think that religion is flawed. Religion or the bible there are stories in there that are phenomenally unbelievable and that is accepted by sane minds? But if you believe in extraterrestrials from another world its taken as off the deep end?
The story of jesus christ he died, then he was resurrected and did some memorable mystical deeds? and sadly he was murdered for making logical trouble for the jews and romans cause he may have seen the scheme behind religion and the roman civil society.
Many ancient civilizations believed in the sun as a god, like me I do believe the sun is a entity rather than a ball of burning gases.
Kinich Ahau was the Sun god. He was the patron god of the city Itzamal. Supposedly, he visited the city at noon everday. He would descend as a macaw and consume prepared offerings. Kinich Ahau is usually shown with jaguar-like features (ex. filed teeth). Kinich Ahau also wears the symbol of Kin, a Mayan day. Kinich Ahau was also know by the name Ah Xoc Kin, who was associated with poetry and music.
two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
there's a protest singer singing a protest song – he says
'they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
they wanna have a war to keep their factories
they wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
they wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease

Coming 2012 we may see some mind boggling phenomena up to and pass these Mayan calendar days these are some mysterious times that we are in an time will only tell whats in store for humanity's future.

A number of countries are currently experiencing UFO sightings at an unprecedented level: One of these countries is Russia: Dozens of sightings are occurring there daily to the shock of thousands of citizens who witness these craft.
Only weeks after thousands saw what might have been a giant UFO either crash or land in a wooded area in the Yakutsk region of Siberia, a UFO has been sighted in the oil town of Khanty Mansiysk.
The UFO, seen in the news report below (lower video), was disc shaped and a luminous blue colour. According to witnesses the craft hovered silently in the sky before vanishing. Meanwhile in the town of Volkhov another UFO was seen only days ago (first video below): in this case the object, also glowing, was diamond shaped.
Now scientists and researchers are asking; Why are UFO events occurring at such an increasing rate? Many believe aliens might be trying to warn humanity of some impending disaster.

According to me watching the news today the reporter said this galaxy event happened already light years ago of as predicted by michel nostadamus maybe?

Galaxy Collisions – NASA released the image of collisions between galaxies Thursday (8/11/2011) ago. In that image, the United States Space Agency showed initial conditions Galaxy Collisions that later formed the galaxies VV 340 or Arp 302.
Appear in the image pair of galaxies, the upper part of the galaxy VV 340 North while at the bottom is the galaxy VV 340 South. Millions of years later, the two galaxies collide and eventually come together, exactly as predicted in the Milky Way and Andromeda.
The image captured is part of the Great Observatories All-Sky Survey Luminous Infrared Galaxy, which combines the Chandra X-Ray data, the Hubble Space Telescope, an infrared space telescope Spitzer and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observatory.
VV 340 galaxies located 450 million light-years from Earth. Due to shine brightly in infrared observations, the galaxy is called Luminous Infrared Galaxy.
Further image analysis with the Chandra X-ray showed, VV 340 North has a supermassive black hole. This is reinforced by the emission of infrared Spitzer observations is also dominated by of VV 340 North.
Meanwhile, Hubble and GALEX showed that theUV emission and short wave coming from South 340 VV. This shows, Vv 340 South had levels higher star formation. From the analysis, astronomers concluded that the pair VV 340 evolves with different rates.
Galaxy Collisions are common in the evolution of galaxies. Collision that occurred not in the true sense, but rather on the gravitational interaction between galaxies. In the collision of galaxies, the smaller galaxy will "lose" and become part of a larger galaxy.
The survey, then generate the images is part of the efforts of astronomers to understand, why the Luminous Infrared Galaxy emits much infrared radiation. – Galaxy Collisions, Read at

MSNBC.com – An ocean exploration team led by Swedish researcher Peter Lindberg has found what some are suggesting is a crashed flying saucer.
Lindberg's team, which has had success in the past recovering sunken ships and cargo, was using sonar to look for the century-old wreck of a ship that went down carrying several cases of a super-rare champagne. Instead, the team discovered what it claims is a mysterious round object that might (or might not) be extraterrestrial.
Lindberg explained to local media that his crew discovered, on the 300-foot-deep ocean floor between Finland and Sweden, "a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter. You see a lot of weird stuff in this job, but during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this. The shape is completely round." MSNBC.com here

The purpose of this opener is to help students review some of the basics of unit circle:
Give at least three trigonometric ratios that are equivalent to sin(43π/36).
Visualizing Radians
I say, "How many of you can imagine a 60 degree angle?" Everyone says they can - this is the angle in an equilateral triangle, for one thing. "How about a 90 degree angle?" I ask. Again no problem. I continue by asking about a 140 degree angle, then a 300 degree angle, and we see that even these angles are pretty easy to visualize now that we know about reference angle and central angles (see visualizing degrees vs radians).
After everyone is hyped up and feeling good about their angle instincts, I say, "Alright, so who can imagine a 43π/36 radian angle?" -- and of course, everyone catches my drift. As I've done previously, I might now compare the relationship between degrees and radians to the one between feet and meters or pounds and kilograms. "Everyone in this room can tell me their height, I say, but how many of you know your height in meters?" My point is that it's a matter of our familiarity with a given unit of measurement.
In order help students see the structure (MP7) in the unit circle and to reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2) as they think about what radians actually represent, I point out that we're not completely unfamiliar with radians. We know where 0, π, and 2π are on the unit circle. Most students are ok with π/2 and 3π/2 -- so at the very least we can figure out which quadrant this angle will be in. I elicit from students the idea that 43π/36 is greater than 36π/36 but less than 54π/36, so it's in the third quadrant. 43 is a little closer to 36 than to 54, so that helps us to get a basic visualization for what this angle will look like.
Of course, we can also just convert 43π/36 to 215 degrees, which most students can visualize, and this confirms the picture that we've already developed about the radian measure.
Completing the Opening Problem
At this point, it comes pretty naturally that the reference angle for 215 degrees is 35 degrees, and that sin(215) is negative, so we can find some other equivalent trig ratios. I try to get kids thinking about an equivalent cosine as well. As we find equivalent trig ratios, construct a unit circle diagram on the board that has representations of each of our solutions to this problem. This diagram will stay up as we get to work today, and we'll able to use it for reference.
Return Check In Quiz from Previous Class
As students are getting to work and trying the opener on their own, I circulate and return the quiz. After the opener, I simple state the answer to the question, and I ask students to consider why this answer is what it is. I tell them they'll have another chance to show me what they know on this learn target.
I hand out Problem Set 14, and to introduce it, I go through some brief introductory notes from today's Class_Agenda. The meat of today's class is open-ended work time, but as I explain below and in today's Explaing the Math resource, there are many possible directions that the lesson can take. At its heart, this lesson is an example of how I create a space for improvisation in my classroom by giving students some problems and seeing where they take us, but at the same time, I have some specific outcomes in mind.
This problem set serves two purposes: one as a summative assessment tool for our semester of problem solving, the other as a teaching tool that I'll use to continue to help students develop their understanding of the content learning targets (Triangles 2 and Unit Circle 2) that are listed at the top of the problem set. (CCS F-TF.2)
Unlike all previous problem sets, which are to be completed as homework and are due a week after they are assigned, this problem set is due at the end of the next class and I give students the majority of two class periods to work on it.
Problem Set #14 as an assessment of problem solving skills
Problem solving has been a major focus of our work this semester, and as this class begins to wind down, I want students to show me how they have developed as problem solvers. Every problem set of the semester has been assessed on Habit 1: I can make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (MP1), and as this is the 14th problem set of the semester, I hope to see that students can both show growth and explain how they are demonstrating mastery of this learning target. Less frequently assessed, but not less important is Habit 7: I look for and can make use of structures and patterns (MP7). With this problem set, I want to see how well students are able to use trigonometric structures: triangles, the unit circle, the trig ratios, and the Pythagorean theorem, and use these structures to develop new understandings of trig concepts.
Side Note: Grading this Problem Set
Grading this problem set will necessarily be rather subjective. Because I know each of my students - where they started the semester as problem solvers, their relationships with mathematics, their ability to struggle - the way I grade each of them will be different depending on where they have come from. Instead of the rubric that most prior problem sets have included, this time I ask students to assess themselves on each of the four learning targets. (Please see page 2 of Problem Set 14, and note that I print this as one double-sided handout.) If a student can give a thoughtful reason why they should earn a 3 or 4 on Habit 1, and I know that they really are making as much sense as they're able to make, I'm happy to give them those high grades on this assignment.
In general, I think it is important for all teachers to spend time teaching vocabulary and etymology, even for words that are not directly related to the content. The first "problem" is really just a question: "What is 'synthesis'?" This gets students talking immediately. When they ask me for help, I tell them that if they have a mobile device, they should look it up and see what they find. Some students immediately think of "photo-synthesis," so I might lead a conversation about that by eliciting the idea that photo-synthesis is the plant process of taking light and other inputs and turning them into something new. So synthesis is what we're going to do today. We're going to draw on various pieces of knowledge to construct some new knowledge.
In a very tangible way, students will be able to refer to their work from the previous lessons to do the work of synthesis. The Figure #1 and Figure #2 handouts from the classes that began Unit 3 will be useful, and I encourage students to refer to these handouts. I like the opportunity to show students that even though these handouts were not graded, they have value as tools that will help students succeed as they work on this assignment.
Problem Set #14 as a teaching tool for Unit 3 / content SLTs
By working on these problems, students will have the opportunity to better understand the definitions of the trigonometric functions on the unit circle, particularly the definition of tangent, which they haven't yet seen. They will also be able to discover more connections between the trigonometric functions: I am specifically laying the groundwork for the Pythagorean identities and further evidence that tan = sin/cos, but also hope that students are coming up with their own ideas about how the trig functions are related.
I expect students to take two class periods to complete this problem set. For today's lesson, I hope that most students will finish the first six problems. Then they will be able to complete the last two and the reflection in during the next class.
Please see today's Explaining the Math resource for detailed notes about each problem on Problem Set 14.
For today's closing, I give students 5 minutes to write an index card essay in response to the prompt:
How did you synthesize today?

Constructed in 1890-94 for David Whitney, one of Michigan's wealthiest citizens, the Whitney House is an excellent example of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture. In 1857, David Whitney, a descendant of early Massachusetts settlers, came west to Detroit to run the operations of two East Coast firms involved in the lumber industry. By the 1870s, Whitney had branched out on his own, investing in pinelands primarily in Wisconsin and Michigan. Becoming involved in maritime transportation, Whitney also owned an extensive fleet of steam barges and consorts. This fleet shipped lumber, as well as iron ore from Lake Superior ports, to manufacturing and distributing centers along the lower lakes. By the turn-of-the- century, Whitney had become one of Michigan's wealthiest citizens, owning large amounts of land and holding interest in many banking institutions and industrial corporations. In 1890, construction began on a lavish new residence for Whitney and his family-- a project which took four years to complete. Gordon W. Lloyd was hired as architect and designed the house in the then fashionable Romanesque Revival style. Built of jasper brought from South Dakota, the house has 42 rooms, 10 bathrooms, 20 fireplaces, and 218 stained and lead glassed windows installed by Tiffany's of New York. At the time it was completed, the Detroit Free Press described the house as "an American palace enjoying the distinction of being one of the most pretentious modern homes in the state and one of the most elaborate houses in the west."
The David Whitney House is located at 4421 Woodward Avenue, approximately 8 blocks south of the Edsel Ford Freeeway (Interstate 94). The building is a restuarant and open to the public.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come into Your presence to speak to You today in the Name of Jesus and by his blood. Father I hold you in the highest regard and love You with all of my heart, all of my mind and all of my soul! I find myself in Your awesome presence today to seek wisdom in the circumstances that challenge me today. I am also seeking wisdom to help other people in the way that You need me to do it. I declare and decree that I will depart from evil and do good, that I will walk with wise men; thereby I will be wise; also I want to say that I stand ready for instruction, for I am just and therefore teachable and able to increase in learning.
I thank you Father that I am able to hear You because I watch daily at Your gates and wait at the posts of Your door, knowing that I will not only find life but favor. I do not despise Your chastening and I do not grow weary of Your correction because I know that whom You love; You correct just like a Father corrects a son (or daughter) whom he loves. I thank You that because my ear can hear reproof that I can abide among the wise. I thank You Father that wisdom assures my promotion which doesn't come from the East or West or the North or the South; but it comes from You LORD. I thank You Father that I am able to recognize the JOY that I have in You. I delight myself greatly in Your commandments and I am Blessed because I have total reverence for you. I thank you that Godly wisdom guarantees that even my enemies cannot overcome me. I thank you Father that Your statutes and judgments in the Word of God give me wisdom.
I thank you Father that I will continue to hear and hear the Word of God knowing faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I thank you Father for the desires that You have placed in my heart. I thank You for Your patience with me as I seek to gain wisdom in the things that You have promised me. I thank You Father for Your patience with me as I realize that I cannot do things my way; but that I CAN do things Your way with perfect results. I thank You Father that I will remain focused and fixed on my calling. I thank You Father that I have good and perfect habits and that those habits allow me to fulfill my destiny.
I thank You Father that I will remember everyday that if the fruit of desire is pursuit; that I will always be in pursuit; never moving farther away from what I am called to do by procrastinating.
I thank You Father that I'm all out of excuses. I thank You Father that I have the wisdom to move past excuses and win every battle on the home turf of my mind or wherever it may be! I thank you Father that everyday I go out and train for battle and that I gain and grow in wisdom. I purpose in my heart to seek You for guidance in all that I do! Father, I believe You and I know that I CANNOT FAIL! AMEN

The Top WordPress Plugins Your Blog Needs
The Top WordPress Plugins Your Blog Needs
A WordPress website has four main pillars – WordPress itself, a theme, WordPress plugins, and your content. Without one of these pillars, your site will not be effective.
The core WordPress code allows you to build a website in the first place while your theme determines how it will look. The WordPress plugins that you install make your website work the way you want it to.
There are thousands to choose from and there are several that almost every website can benefit from. There are premium options, but many are free.
But Wait, What Is A Plugin?
Before highlighting some WordPress plugins, let's explore what a plugin is and how it works. The concept is similar to a restaurant that runs a buffet.
When you're at a buffet you only put food on your plate that you like and that you are going to eat. It would not work if you had to put a little bit of everything on your plate. Doing so would require a pretty big plate and most of it would remain uneaten.
The same goes for WordPress. The developers of the core product could start adding every type of functionality that you can imagine, but the result would be a massive program that would run slowly. And you would barely use it.
Instead choose the features that you want to have on your website. And install them in the form of a plugin.
Here are a few that just about every website could benefit from:
The Spam Buster
Askismet catches spam so that you don't have to. Once it's set up, any comments that are posted by users on your website run through the Askismet system to check them for spam. It is incredibly accurate and it's a must for every website.
SEO Juggernauts
WordPress does SEO better than most website building tools. But it does it even better with an SEO plugin. The most popular is WordPress SEO by Yoast. It adds a tab to your Dashboard with useful tools and it gives you SEO help and options when you are creating posts and pages. All In One SEO Pack does something similar. Best of all, these plugins are free.
Cache In
Nobody likes slow loading websites, and that includes your customers and the search engines. As a result you should do everything you can to make your website load as fast as possible. A tool that can help is W3 Total Cache. It improves the performance of your server and reduces download times. Another option is WP Super Cache. It speeds up your website by displaying static HTML pages to most of your users.
Going Social
Social media should be a part of every website's marketing strategy. This means social media should be integrated into your design. The most important part of that integration is giving your users the opportunity to quickly and easily share your content. Jetpack is one of the most popular tools for this although it is not just a social sharing plugin. It also includes email subscriptions, contact forms, and much more. An alternative and simpler option is Share Buttons by AddToAny.
Make Contact
Most websites have a contact form so that users can get in touch. One of the most popular contact form plugins is Contact Form 7. It is brilliant because of its simplicity. It does exactly what it should and not much more, but it does it exceptionally well. As a result it is one of the most downloaded plugins for WordPress that has ever been made – it has been downloaded about 16 million times.
The Others
The plugins mentioned above are suitable to every website. But the world of plugins does not end there. Many other WordPress plugins are available for common website tasks including:
- Ecommerce
- Backups
- Post ratings and reviews
- Notification bars
- Sliders
- Advanced menus
- Lightboxes
- Related posts
- And much more
Similar to what you decide to select from the buffet, carefully choose the plugins that you want on your website. The analogy goes further than this in that any good buffet not only offers you choice, but also offers you the type of food that you want to eat.
The same applies to WordPress plugins. For the vast majority of tasks or features, look for a plugin to satiate your website hunger.

Johnny's big break came in late 1966 when he recorded a song called Mursheen Durkin, an old ballad from the west of Ireland. It topped the charts at Number 1 for three consecutive weeks. It was followed up by The Boston Burglar which also reached Number 1.
His first tour of the United States was in 67. It involved 7 weeks of concerts during that hot summer of Hippies, Protests and Vietnam. One of the many famous venues he played was the "Hungry Eye" in San Francisco. However, his favourite was the famous "Carnegie Hall" in New York. It was at this stage in his career he had his third Number 1 hit with the song Nora from Sean O'Casey's famous play "The Plough and the Stars"
On a golden August afternoon while sitting on a stone in the sun outside a pub in Co. Sligo came the inspiration to write his first song Long, long before your time. It too reached Number 1.

"Timeless anthems for a very Big Country…a body of work that sweeps away the test of time" - Lancashire Evening Post
Big Country perform classic hits and live favourites including Harvest Home - Fields of Fire - In A Big Country - Chance - Wonderland - Look Away - The Teacher, plus many more.
Steeped in a stunning catalogue of proud and stirring hit songs such as 'Fields of Fire', 'Chance', 'In A Big Country' (which sold 2 million), 'East Of Eden' and their biggest UK hit 'Look Away', along with massive albums such 'The Seer', 'Steeltown', 'Peace In Our Time' and the triple Grammy –nominated, 'The Crossing', Big Country continue to look beyond the next horizon.
The band – Bruce Watson (guitars/vocals); Mark Brzezicki (drums, vocals); Jamie Watson (guitars/vocals) will be augmented on stage by singer/guitarist Simon Hough and bassist Scott Whitley.
Formed in 1981 by guitar playing founder members, the late Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson, both native of the band's hometown Dunfermline in Scotland. Initially driven by a shared vision of widescreen guitar melody, harmony and lyric, the classic Big Country sound was further enhanced later that summer by the arrival of drummer Mark Brzezicki and bass player Tony Butler. This is the Big Country that (with Producer Steve Lillywhite), recorded the classic debut album 'The Crossing' in 1983.
The band broke massively worldwide with the release of the album's classic singles 'Fields Of Fire', 'Chance' and signature song 'In A Big Country', which went on to become massive worldwide hits, selling over 2 million copies and driving 'The Crossing' to 3 prestigious Grammy nominations in the USA.
The run of success continued throughout the 1980s with the release of the anthemic single 'Wonderland' and the second album 'Steeltown' (1984), which debuted at Number 1 in the UK and contained the hit singles 'East Of Eden, 'Just a Shadow' and 'Where The Rose Is Sown'.

After a number of successful top-twenty singles in the UK, the band went on to score unprecedented international success with the release of the classic 'Nightbirds" recording and the title track has now become a standard in the popular music repertoire. This success was repeated with the top-ten hit "Down on the Street and the award-winning video established the band's personnel of Jill Saward(lead vocs), Bill Sharpe(keys),Keith Winter(gtr), George Anderson(bass) and Roger Odell(drums). With the magic Al Jarreau/Shakatak combination,the group went on to record the track 'Day by Day' to further international acclaim.
Along with this successful recording career, Shakatak had firmly established themselves as a vibrant live act, combining astute musicianship with a sense of fun that communicated strongly with world-wide audiences. Their performance in Japan's Budoken Hall won them a Silver Award at the Tokyo International Song Festival-other awards include the "Best Instrumental Album' for 6 consecutive years-and other live concerts of note have been the East meets the West Border Concert at the time of German re-unificationin 1989 and the open air concert in Cape Town for the Millennium Celebrations 2000 where they played in front of 250,000 people.Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music – but then Shakatak is a particularly unusual group.
Because of the nature of their music, their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an 'underground element'. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily as serious jazz/funk musicians, enjoying both high 'cult' status and instant recognition as a household name.

Since exploding onto the scene shortly after forming in 1997, the multi-time Brit nominated band have_ over two million album sales to their name and a string of top 20 hits both home and abroad. Right from debut hit single 'Onka's Big Moka' to tracks like 'Dancing In the Moonlight', the band have always made it big. As one of the highest selling outfits of their era, they still boast a massive fanbase more than ten years later, and as such news of their new material couldn't come soon enough.
The band might have taken a break between 2003 and 2011 but their star is still very much burning brightly. They returned with a well received album 'Only Human' and more singles came in the ensuing years including 'Turn It Around', which picked up plenty of support from BBC Radio 2. Wholly accustomed to playing in from of massive audiences and mixing up musical influences with ease, this band is as skilled in the live arena as they are in the studio when crafting massive singalong hits.
Toploader never fail to please the crowd and have backed the likes of Robbie Williams and Tom Jones everywhere from Wembley Stadium to Glastonbury.
Three epic frontmen, one suberb music bill.

John O'Connell's Simply Dylan Band will be back in 2021 for a brand-new headline tour across the UK to celebrate Bob Dylan's 80th Birthday.
As straightforward as the title suggests: no frills, no gimmicks, no pretense; Simply Dylan is John's personal exploration and celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan.
O'Connell, formerly of Groundpig, has had his name indelibly written into the tapestry of Liverpool's music scene, has collaborated with other highly reputable musicians to form his Dylan Band.
The combination of the band delivering high energy renditions of the prodigious songwriter's work and John skillfully singing and enunciating the lyrics,
has seen the project go from recognising Dylan's 70th Birthday, to selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, to receiving fantastic reviews from audiences across
the UK and most recently having the privilege to open up the Isle of Wight Festival in 2019 on the big top stage.
"It is incredible to consider that Dylan has been writing and performing for some 6 decades and continues to do so right up to the present day.
The talent he has for story-telling and developing a song is extraordinary. My greatest challenge is deciphering a set-list when there is so much choice and an array
of genres to select from; after all everyone has their own personal favourite!"
John O'Connell

Not long after, the group achieved further success with the release of their R&B-inspired hit Inside Out, which was featured in music magazine NME's Tracks of the Year.
Capitalising on the disco band's increasing momentum, the group went on to release a number of notable albums and singles. During the years that followed, the group produced an array of memorable songs, including Going Back To My Roots, Don't Tell Me, Tell Her, I Can't Keep Holding Back My Love, Ever-Lovin' Sam, Magic Touch, When You Love Somebody and It Will Be Alright.

wow, the area is becoming a hot spot for this new kind of architecture, lol.
From the NY Post: Senbahar has a quality track record- the Alex and the Grand Beekman are high-quality projects.
By LOIS WEISS
A new building may be coming between Calvin Klein and his skyline views.
That's because the two Richard Meier-designed towers at 173-176 Perry St. at West Street - where Klein, Nicole Kidman and Martha Stewart own apartments - may soon have a neighbor.
Sources told The Post developer Izak Senbahar of Alexico Management is paying $20 million to buy the six-story Pathfinder warehouse to the south of the two white condominiums.
On that West Village site, he plans to put up a 15-story luxury building that could total as much as 75,000 square-feet, and might hire Meier to design it.
And that means Klein, who owns the two top floors in the southern building, could find himself staring into other people's apartments instead of the Lower Manhattan skyline.
Neither Senbahar, the warehouse owner or Meier returned calls for comment.
Richard Born, who developed the Meier buildings at 173-176 Perry St., said he passed on buying the warehouse because future residences would have to sell for upwards of $1,500 a square foot.
"There are a lot of risk factors involved as these units will not be ready for two years, and who knows where the market will be," he said.
"I hope they use Richard Meier," he said. "Because I don't want them to mar the skyline we began to create."
Senbahar and his partners recently completed the 32-story Grand Beekman at First Avenue and 51st Street and are working on the 32-story Alex at 205 E. 45th St.
wow, the area is becoming a hot spot for this new kind of architecture, lol.
I hope whatever they build next to the two present towers, they're sensitive to the emerging skyline.... it would have been a lot better having another tall building a few doors down that right next to the two... *
From 24 November 2002 New York Times article "Along West Street, A Residential Makeover":
... One consequence of the extraordinary level that prices reached in the Perry Street condominium is that land prices for nearby property suitable for development have risen as well. Just south of the Perry Street site, bidding reportedly reached $250 a developable square foot for such a parcel 12,000 square feet on West Street occupied by Pathfinder Press. "They were looking for $300 a foot," or $23.4 million, to build 78,000 gross square feet of building area, said Charles Blaichman, a co-developer of the Perry Street condominium. "That hasn't been paid anywhere. I think out-of-towners jacked up the price."
Unsuccessful bidders reported that a sales contract was signed for $20 million, or more than $250 for each square foot that can be built, with an unidentified buyer, but parties to the sale declined to discuss it.
The value of the Pathfinder Press property reflects in part the fact that demolition and new construction of a sizable building could begin fairly promptly, without zoning or other complications, developers say. This is rarely the case along West Street. Modest commercial and industrial establishments of yesterday operate on some blocks, and they will not disappear overnight.
Truly exquisite.
I walked by the site today. A drilling rig was setting up next to the Pathfinder, so something is going up.
NICE! *I can't wait until the entire west side highway is laced with new towers. *It's about time. *I think Hudson River Park has been a great catalyst. *It must be nice to be across from both the park and the water.
You're right about the park as a catalyst. There's a residential building going up on a former parking lot at West and Laight, part of which is renovation of an adjoining warehouse. One block north a large truck maintenance garage has been vacated. The sugar building has already been restored as a condo.
Looks promising.

Richard Meier & Partners
Proposed 2004?
From the NYPost:
Meanwhile, Senbahar has officially hired architect Richard Meier to create a third tower at Charles and West Streets, just south of the elegant twin towers he designed earlier at Perry St.
"It will be very transparent," said Senbahar of the new building.
"Don't worry, Calvin Klein [the penthouse resident on Perry St.] will still have his views."
Apartments and apartment buildings are still a desirable investment even if the most recent Rent Guidelines Board survey found a 9.25 percent vacancy for flats renting for more than $1,750 and 10.05 percent for apartments renting for more than $2,000.
This should be sweet.
Tenant was moving out of Pathfinder this weekend.
Took this shot of Perry West
"Don't worry, Calvin Klein [the penthouse resident on Perry St.] will still have his views."
This will be interesting, how will they manage that?
I guess b/c the new building will be filled with walls of glass like the present Meier buildings?
I dunno, but it's good to see good looking building going up on the West Side H'way!
I'm delighted, but given the identical context and use a little worried that the new one will look too similar. Meier tends to be repetitive.

I started my car ... drove down the street & i heard the noise that may well have been my last.
thats right .......
The beeping of my Fuel/gas tank gauge.
beeping like impending doom.
As it read.
You have 12km or 6 miles of gas left.
As my mind turned to survive mode.
I turned on the radio & they were playing the Zombie apocalypse, game.
Rules ..... where ever you are right now, ...... with the hand you most use to wright with, reach it out & grab the first thing you can ....
That's your weapon to fight with.
What do you have in your hand.
