Have you purchased your Comet Discount Card yet?!? Tickets are now on sale for $10 each! Proceeds will be used to support our Comet Pride Store in the Elementary. Students can earn tickets to purchase items in the store when they are caught using positive behavior! More information and order forms will be sent home with each elementary student next week! Feel free to turn your order in to an elementary student, or talk to a faculty member at AES. Cards will also be available to purchase in our office. Take a minute to review all of the 30 amazing discounts listed on the card! We are so thankful for the community support for this project shown by businesses in Alton, Thayer, and West Plains! Thank you for helping to make our school a better place for every student who enters! #EveryCometCounts #AltonElem
All Alton Elementary students have now successfully completed Comet Boot Camp! Here at Alton Elementary, we decided to spend the first two days of school teaching students the rules in each setting of our school (playground, cafeteria, bathroom, hallway, bus, classroom). We know it is important for our school to have consistent rules for everyone- from preschool to 6th grade. We've also learned that when students learn the rules first, teachers can gain up to 30% more instructional time due to avoided behaviors and disruptions. We ended bootcamp with a celebratory assembly today where students showed what they had learned in a game of family feud! Students also learned about Comet tickets and how they can be rewarded for their positive behavior. Please take a minute this weekend to ask your child to teach you how to show Comet PRIDE!
We at Alton Elementary are so excited for the new school year and all the positive things going on around school. For the safety of all students, we ask all parents to PLEASE wait to drop off your children AFTER 7:40. Teachers are not required to be on campus until 7:35; therefore, there is no guarantee of supervision. In addition, the exterior doors will be locked until that time. Thank you! Enjoy this fantastic school year! #EveryCometCounts

This is Eric Allen, Superintendent at Alton R-IV, and I am reaching out to inform you of a situation we had on campus earlier today: Alton R-IV School Officials notified the Oregon County Sheriff's Office on 09/27/2017 at approximately 9:40am that multiple students had reported that another student had been making threats of violence at the school on social media and was in possession of a knife on campus. School Officials separated the identified student from the rest of the student body and contacted law enforcement immediately. Following an investigation by officers from the Alton Police Department and the Oregon County Sheriff's Office, a fifteen year old student has been detained and transferred to the custody of the 37th Judicial Circuit Juvenile Office.

Shot Requirements for 2017-2018 school year *All incoming 8th graders will need a Tdap and MCV shot before they can start school in August. *ALL incoming 12th graders will need 2 MCV shots unless the first shot was given after the age of 16, in which case they will only need 1 shot before they can start school in August. * I am sending this information out now to give you 3 full months to get these shots before August. Please do not wait until August to get these required shots because you run the risk of doctors offices/health departments running out of the shots before your child can receive one. Please be aware that if your child does not have their vaccination by the first day of school they will not be able to start until they receive the vaccination. There will be no exceptions!Please turn in proof of vaccinations to my office as soon as you get them. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 778-7217.

Alton R-IV will resume classes on our regular schedule and normal start times on Monday, May 8, 2017. The school year was originally scheduled to end at 12:45pm on Thursday, May 11, 2017. We will now be in session for a full day until 3:26pm on Thursday May 11, 2017. The school year will also be extended by one day and the last day of school will now be on Friday, May 12, 2017 and it will be a full day ending normally at 3:26pm. Bus drivers will be on campus Friday, May 5 to review routes and will be in contact with families, as needed, if route changes are going to be required based on road or bridge conditions. We will do our best, and what is safe, in providing district transportation to students. However, we will ask for support and help from some of our parents in making student transportation a reality for this last week of school. MAP testing for grades 3-8 will be taking place daily the week of May 8-12 as we complete our state mandated testing. We cannot stress enough the importance of your child attending classes and completing this required testing. Elementary awards ceremonies will occur, but not on the same schedule originally sent home with students. A new awards ceremony schedule will be provided soon. JH and HS students will have finals as well (schedule to be posted soon) and those students striving to have good attendance and be exempted from finals need to be aware all days in session the week of May 8 will count toward this goal. As our timeline has become very compressed to conclude the academic requirements of the school year, JH and HS field trips are going to be greatly restricted and elementary field days for all grades, K-6, are going to be cancelled. We regret these decisions, but must prioritize what is to be accomplished in the days on campus we have remaining. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those most directly impacted by the flooding and thank all of our students and patrons for their understanding as we have navigated these issues and rescheduling of events.
There will be no school at Alton R-4 on Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5, 2017. Classes will resume on Monday, May 8, 2017. Graduation will occur as scheduled on May 5, 2017 at 7:00pm in the High School Gym. A schedule and calendar of events for the remainder of the school year will be posted on the school website by Friday May 5, 2017.
There will be no school at Alton R-4 on Wednesday, May 3, 2017. Graduation practice with seniors, marshalls, and ushers will be held at 12:30pm on May 3, 2017. The community sponsored baccalaureate service will be held in the high school gym at 7:00pm on May 3, 2017.

This is Eric Allen, Superintendent at Alton. Based on reports of an individual with a gun near, but not on campus, we followed our protocol and went in to lockdown. Law enforcement was contacted and responded very quickly. After an extensive search of the area no individual fitting the description was located. Law enforcement has given the all clear, but we have moved all students from out buildings to either the main elementary or high school building and they will remain there throughout the end of the day. Law enforcement will remain on campus through bus departure time at 3:30. Normal after school practices and events will go forward as planned. Thank you for your patience and understanding as our faculty and law enforcement officers followed our practiced protocols and procedures in this matter.

WASHINGTON -- Death row murderers find few champions among those who get elected for a living.
To a politician, sticking up for a killer is a no-win proposition.
The Racial Justice Act, however, seemed to be an exception to this rule.
The act, part of the House version of the Crime Bill now before Congress, would allow condemned killers to escape death if they could show through statistical analysis that their sentences were the result of racial bias.
And many in the House, especially the Congressional Black Caucus, thought this was only just.
But killers are relatively easy to defend when talked about in the abstract. Eventually, however, specific prisoners would start using the act and they would become very real.

People who know me or have ever visited almost every place in which I have lived, know that I enjoy reading books. So what kind of trip would I have without some books along for the journey? After all this journey is a physical one across many miles and a mental one across many years. A shared goal of both is to view our world from a different perspective via direct and indirect experiences. So this is the section in which I'll share what I am reading along the trip and my thoughts on each:
Books along for the ride (or that I have selected to be sent to me for the ride):
The Oregon Trail by Rinker Buck
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
Beyond the Wall by Edward Abbey
Sophie's World by Josten Gaarder
Zen and the Psychology of Transformation by Hubert Benoit
Anatomy, Stretching & Training for Cyclists by Lisa Purcell
Listening to a Continent Sing by Kroodsma
Texas by James Mitchner
Rhinoceros Zen: Zen Martial Arts and the Path to Freedom by Jeffery Brooks
Haiku and Senyru: A Simple Guide for All by Charlotte Digregorio
Yoga: The Poetry of the Body by Rodney Yee
Conquering the Borderlands by Lorraine Veisz
Arts of Strength, Arts of Serenity: Martial Arts training for mental, physical, and spiritual health by Nicklaus Suino

Recently, in my post 'How To Decrease Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Just A Few Weeks', I shared that blood sugar can be well managed through your diet. Today, I'm here to share a bit more in case just diet alone isn't cutting it for some of you. The truth is, while diet is a primary way to maintain health, often it is too broad to fix underlying imbalances. One key reason is that most of us have serious mineral imbalances and if we don't know exactly what they are we can't correct them through diet alone. That said, there is one missing mineral that is playing into the issue of insulin resistance (and diabetes); chromium.
( Photo Courtesy: v1ctor )
A deficiency of biologically active chromium can lead to insulin resistance. WHY?
First let's look at the issues of why chromium is missing…..
- Not enough in the diet to begin with (processed foods/soil depletion)
- Excessive loss due to constant high carb diet and or refined/processed foods diet
- Or the body's inability to convert chromium into it's biologically active form.
Soil depletion and our diets are key reasons chromium is missing for most everyone these days (namely in the United States). The modern day S.A.D diet (Standard American Diet) both due to processing/refining and excessive intake of starches and sugars spells disaster for the blood sugar as well as that it both does not contain much if any chromium to begin with in addition to further depleting any there may be to begin with. Head on over to Delicious Obsessions where I discuss this further……..

Amazing tour of East London. It really gave me a big insight into the South East Asian cultures that settled into the area and how they influenced the area. The food was just as good as what I've tried in India, if not better. Raj took us on a real culinary adventure by taking us from North to South of India through all the dishes we tried. It was also nice to explore the east side of town which is very cultural and hip. Highly recommend!!

Spanish Grammar: Subjunctive with Adjective Clauses
Spanish Grammar: Subjunctive with Adjective Clauses
la gramática española: el subjuntivo con las cláusulas adjetivas
- The subjunctive is a verb mood, not a tense in terms of time.
- The subjunctive is utilized in adjective(descriptive)clauses.
The subjunctive is used when we do not know if the action will take place. If we know that it is or will be a reality, the indicative is used. The subjunctive is used to express doubt, how a person feels about an action or state of being, a wish, intent or command. It can also be used to express facts that are the opposite of reality.
Adjectives are specific words that help modify a noun. Adjective clauses are phrases that help describe another phrase (usually called the antecedent) connected with a word like QUE. The subjunctive is used in an adjective clause when the antecedent is indefinite, unknown, or is nonexistent.
So, here's a statement that has a known (definite) antecedent.
Yo tengo un gato quecorre rápido.
I have a cat that runs fast.
See how corre stays in the indicative (not subjunctive). It doesn't work because we all know that I have cat. No surprises here.
However, here's an unknown statement.
Yo quiero un gato quecorra rápido.
I want a cat that runs fast.
Since we don't have a cat that meets the description, and are only describing a hypothetical one, we use the subjunctive.
¿Hay algo aquí que le guste?
Is there something here that you like?
Hay alguien aquí que le conozca?
Is there someone here that knows you?

It seems today is the day to find out whether the (terrible) ballot for entry into 2013 was successful for you, or you got your annual subscription to "You are a loser" magazine…
VLM have also changed the system and more importantly dates of getting in via a club place. The final date is mid-November so there will be no Christmas Handicap marathon draw this year.
As its a quick (and final) turnaround the committee has decided this year that unsuccessful applicants need to let a committee member know (ideally me so there's a central list) before the 15th October. We can then start the process of finding out how many club places we receive and the committee will decide who gets put forward.
Its currently unclear whether the usual substitutions allowed until a certain date system exists.

Hello! Up front please let me say thank you to Kelmych for the amazing amount of work in this guide. I am a latecomer to Fallout and to be honest I probably wouldn't have become so in love with it if I hadn't dove in with this guide.
I'm having an issue I can't get to the bottom of on my own. I have an otherwise stable (well stable for FO3 in Win 7) setup until I level up. When I pick a new perk on level up the game freezes when I click Done or hit A. Through trial and error I discovered that if I save right before level up and load my MO profile sans Bashed Patch, I can pick my perk just fine.
Info that might be useful:
1. I followed most of the guide up to through the first body mods in section 20. I skipped FWE and related items as well as all the addin quests mods in section 18 except Reilly.
2. I played with that setup with no bashed patch til somewhere around level 15. (cause frankly I got excited to play and it was working and I forgot to jump to the post install bottom)
3. I decided I needed more "pretty" and more immersion so I did a lot of picking and choosing through the subsequent sections particularly armor/body/animation mods, hi-res graphics, as well as adding in Crowded Cities, Expanded Caravans and finally got around to patches and the Bashed Patch. I didn't do any of the weapon updates.
4. The level up issue started somewhere thereafter. (big shock)
On a whim, I also loaded a New Start Save (just before Vault 101 exit) with the exact same MO profile and she can pick a perk at level 2 with no problem. <sigh>
So.....what next? Is it somehow related to her higher levels? Or some conflict that's not apparent because the newbie hasn't come across that content yet? Or is there just a bunch of wonky history in my character save because of all the mid play tweaking I've done?
What, if anything, do I need to provide to help others help me learn to help myself?

After two years of pre-engineering at Iowa State, Dan Feste moved to the Chicago suburbs after he realized that he preferred to understand construction from a hands-on perspective. Twenty-three years later, he had worked his way up the ranks and back to his roots in Sioux City. Dan has been a Residential Project Manager at Brown Wegher for more than five and a half years now, and today he tells us a little bit about why he loves coming to work every day.
"Working with clients to help them build their dream home is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job," said Feste, who has loved building things since he was a kid. "The icing on the cake is when customers can't wait to tell their friends to build with Brown Wegher."
Feste mentioned the question he most often gets asked by clients is "Are we on schedule?" (he's happy to answer "yes" to that more often than not). He has learned that the most effective way to manage residential construction is through strong communication, especially in delivering that building a home in the Sioux City area isn't always fool proof. Problems can arise. Schedules may change. In the end, however, time doesn't matter to the perfect end result.
"I often find that homeowners get so tied to the schedule and the day-in and day-out operations of the site," he said. "When you can trust the process, you can take a deep breath and enjoy it a lot more."
Just as important as the enjoying the process is enjoying Siouxland. "Sioux City really grew up while I was away," Feste said, alluding to his 23 years spent in Chicago. "While I'm surprised how many homes keep going up here, it's not a surprise as to why. Siouxland has a lot to offer with minimal traffic, great people, and family-oriented lifestyles."
"I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of neighborhoods and locations around Siouxland," he adds. "One of my favorite projects was building a home on the top of a hill in the middle of a cornfield. You forget how pretty this part of the country is until you frame a window around the view."
Want to pick Dan's brain about a potential new home in Sioux City? Email him here.
