Why is Attendance Important?
Attendance is the Primary Source of our District's Revenue
Apportionment Attendance vs. Compulsory Attendance
A student can be present for apportionment purposes, yet not comply with compulsory education laws (i.e. partial-day truancies such as tardies, leaving early or cutting class.)
- Apportionment laws require students to be scheduled to attend at least the statutory minimum day, applicable to grade level, for funding purposes. (EC 46010) For apportionment purposes, a student is deemed present, unless absent the entire day. (5CCR Section 404) Apportionment questions should be directed to Attendance Accounting.
- Compulsory attendance laws require children between the ages of 6-18 to attend school regularly and punctually, full time. (EC 48200) Compulsory education concerns should be directed to Student & Community Services.
What are the instructional minute conditions for apportionment?
Minimum Instructional Minute Requirements
Every school day must meet minimum day standards, otherwise ADA for the school day cannot be claimed and won't count towards the annual minute requirements.

Changes to Bell Schedules
To ensure compliance, all proposed revisions to site bell schedules should be reviewed by Attendance Accounting, prior to implementation.
What are the maximum class sizes for grades K-8?
K-8 Class Size Maximums
Class averages are measured from the first attendance month through P-2. SDC classes are exempt. (EC 41376)
Grade Level
Per Class
District Wide
|Grades 1-3
|Grades 4-8
When are the state reporting periods?
Statutory School Day/Year
FISCAL YEAR: July 1st - June 30th (EC 37200)
SCHOOL YEAR: 180 instructional days (EC 46201)
ATTENDANCE MONTH: Consists of 20 days, four weeks of five days each, including legal holidays and non-school days, but excluding weekend makeup classes (EC 37201)
- P-1, All complete attendance months prior to 12/31
- P-2, All complete attendance months prior to 4/15 Used for principal funding apportionment
- Annual, July 1— June 30 Used for NPS, CDS, Lottery apportionment
Who is responsible for recording/submitting attendance?
Submission of Attendance
Teachers are required to take attendance, for each class taught by them, and do so personally, on a daily basis. Attendance may not be recorded by volunteers or delegated to students. (EC 46000, 5CCR Section 401 (c))
As of July 2010, our approved procedures require teachers to submit attendance electronically. Teachers are expected to submit/record accurate attendance, in a timely manner. Those unable to submit attendance electronically, shall be provided with an manually generated roster.
What are acceptable methods to verify a student's absence?
Absence Verification
Due to confidentiality, only district employees may verify absences. Under no circumstances may parent volunteers or TAs verify absences. Verifications may be accepted from a parent/guardian, parent representative or a student (if 18 or older,) by any reasonable method which establishes the fact of the absence. (5CCR Section 421, AR 5113(b))
Acceptable methods of verification include:
- Placing/Receiving Calls
- Teacher Communication
- Written Communication (Notes or e-mails)
Student & Community Services allows parents to verify an absence at any point during the school year. However, individual school site disciplinary action may still apply.
What is a Kindergarten Continuance form?
Kindergarten Continuation Form
Compulsory attendance laws do not apply to kindergarten. Therefore the law requires that both the district and student's parent/guardian agree that it is beneficial for the student to continue in kindergarten for not more than one additional year. Failure to obtain the dated signature of the parent/guardian prior to the admission anniversary date, on the state approved form will result in the loss of ADA generated by that student. (EC46300(g)) Original certified forms are to be filed in the student's CUM.
How long do sites need to maintain attendance accounting records for?
Record Retention
School site attendance records are classified as Class III – Disposable records. Class III records, including support documentation must be maintained for a minimum of three years after the end of the fiscal year. (5CCR Section 437)
- 2017-2018 Discard after June, 2021
All records from 2013-14 and prior may be destroyed.
What is Home/Hospital?
Home Hospital (HH)
This educational option is available for students who are temporarily hospitalized or undergoing medical treatment, which limits their ability to participate in their regular school programs. (EC 48206.3)
- Written parental request should include a referral from a licensed physician
- SDC students cannot be placed into HH, unless their IEP authorizes the placement
- Instruction must commence within 10 days of parental request for HH
- (Hospital Students Only) Admission to the hospital automatically makes the students a resident of the school district where the hospital is located
- Student must be enrolled in program 'H' for the duration of enrollment in HH
- Attendance is maintained manually
- One hour of instruction = one day of ADA, (unless otherwise noted in an IEP)
For more information, please contact Alternative Education.
What is Independent Study?
Independent Study (IS)
IS an educational option provided to students who will be away from their seat-based instruction for an extended period. Laws for IS are numerous and complex. Short-term independent study is managed at each individual school site, on a case-by-case occurrence. Long-term independent study is managed through Alternative Education.
- Minimum of 5 school days
- Participation is strictly voluntary, a classroom option must always remain available
- Written agreement, including approved dates and assignments, must be signed and dated by all parties, prior to the IS commencement date (5CCR Section 11702)
- A supervising (credentialed) teacher is assigned overall responsibility, (EC 51747.5)
- SDC student's IEP must reflect IS as a viable educational option
- Assignments must be equal in quality and quantity to classroom based curriculum
- Students must have access to the same instructional materials provided to the classroom-based pupils, free of charge
- Student is not considered absent, but rather enrolled in IS
- Graded representative samples must be maintained (EC 51747.5, 5CCR Section 11700(b)(2))
- The due date for completed work cannot extend beyond the end date of the agreement. Failure to turn in work by the agreed deadline prevents the pupil from earning apportionment.
- Supervising teacher determines the 'Time Value of Work Preformed' for apportionment (EC 51747.5(b), 51747 (c), 51747.5(a))
- Academic log must be maintained to identify the student's progress while on IS
For long-term Independent Study inquiries, please contact Alternative Education.
What is Saturday School?
Saturday School - Apportionment Recovery
Weekend school is a make-up offering intended to respond to lost instructional time and state funding, due to absence. (EC 37223)
- Student participation is voluntary, unless truant
- Parental consent is required
- Classes must be conform to at least the statutory minimum day requirements
- Students must be engaged in instruction and supervised by a credentialed employee
- Only prior absences day may be recovered,excluding suspensions (banking not permitted)
NOTE: Charter and Community Day Schools are not eligible to receive state apportionment for weekend apportionment recovery.
What does it mean to have 'full' AERIES permissions?
Attendance/Enrollment Permissions in AERIES
Full‐permissions consists of the ability to update a student's enrollment and attendance records. Site administrators determine who requires full permissions, based on job responsibilities. Attendance personnel are required to attend training annually in order to maintain permissions.
Due to prior audit findings site administrators and Clerical Substitutes are not permitted to have attendance/enrollment permissions in AERIES.

Weekly family meals are a great way to bring together people in your dorm or your house. Last school year I lived in Buxton International house with 60 other students. On Fridays, some self-proclaimed house cooks would gather in the kitchen to whip up their own delicious dishes. Everyone cooks a dish or two, and we all sit down for dinner and share our food. If you are feeling ambitious you can try Megumi's rendition of BGSK Soba Noodles with Ginger Chicken Meatballs. Or if you have been super busy with no time to cook, but you still want to participate in the festivities, then you can try one of these no-cook recipes. My favorite thing to cook is anything stir-fried with rice. It is convenient, has lots of fun ingredients, and is creative.
You should create your own tradition of family meals to keep the dorm or house spirit alive. Sometimes when midterms roll around or when there are an overwhelming number of papers to write, your family meal is a great way to cook, relax, and catch up with your friends. Start this new school year with your own family meal tradition!
Julie Sophonpanich is a senior at Brown University, where she majors in History of Art and Architecture. She is now happily living off campus in a house with her own kitchen, but misses her fellow cooks dearly.
Stir-Fried Beef with Honey Miso Sauce
Makes 2 servings
Adapted from Chivasom
2 table spoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
3 strips of beef flank
2 heads of medium bok choy
5 ounces of mushroom (about half a container)
1 teaspoon of miso
1 teaspoon of oyster sauce (or 1 table spoon of soy sauce)
2 teaspoons of honey
2 stalks of spring onion
a pinch of red chili (optional)
Heat up olive oil in a wok on medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and stir-fry until golden brown.
Add beef chunks and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the meat is cooked. Then, add bok choy and mushrooms into the wok. Add miso paste, oyster sauce (or soy sauce), and honey.
Once the beef is cooked, turn off the heat and add spring onions and red chili into the wok and stir. Taste for seasoning. Finally, serve with rice.
Note: For tender beef, marinate the beef in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and a dash of honey for half an hour before cooking.

This post contains spoilers for the most recent season of "Game of Thrones."
Some "Game of Thrones" fans speculated that Sansa Stark was pregnant with Ramsay Bolton's baby after being raped numerous times during season five, but the actress who plays her has debunked this particularly nasty theory.
Speculation first arose when the network released a press photo of Sansa before the season premiere that seemed to show a bit of a bump around her midsection. She was merely wearing a bulky dress (she's in frigid Winterfell, after all), but their suspicion arose when Sansa told Littlefinger that she could "still feel what [Ramsay] did in my body, standing here right now."
Then, before Ramsay's death in the penultimate episode, he told Sansa "I am a part of you now."
It would be a pretty horrific twist, but Sophie Turner says it isn't true.
"I think some people have taken it very literally, thinking that she might be pregnant," the actress told "The Hollywood Reporter."
"Personally, I think it's more figurative, especially because months and months have gone on and Sansa really hasn't developed a baby belly. So I think he means he's going to forever be imprinted on her in a way that he's done such a terrible thing to her."
However, Turner thinks that Sansa is stronger than Ramsay believed.
"He's taken something of hers that's so precious," she said. "I think he believes that will always be a part of her, but I think he underestimates just how strong she is, and just how easily she can forget him. Now that she's killed him she can forget him, and she can move on with her life."
Plus, even though time is pretty fluid on this show, it's clear that months have passed since Sansa escaped Winterfell. If she was pregnant, it would've been pretty darn obvious by now.

So with a release date of January 2012 comes Livide, the new movie from the makers of the ultra violent and pretty fucking awesome "Inside" after giving the finger to Hollywood over studio interference on the proposed remake of Hellraiser they return to France to make what they like and how they like it!
This will definitely be at the top of my must see list along with REC3 especially after reading that at the preview screening some critics walked out at the apparent "Brain eating" scene, bring it on, Vive la France!!!

November 2002
IT sounds like he could be dying.
Or drunk.
Maybe he's just struggling to wake up.
Whatever his physical state, J. Mascis, the pre-grunge hero, is in a very strange mood. The conversation is a series of questions from me and little more than grunts from him. Perhaps he hates interviews. Or talking about the past.
To remedy that, I ask him about his new album. Those rock stars love talking about their latest product. According to the press release, Free So Free is "a concept album revolving around J's new found passion for skydiving. "In fact, many of the songs on the album were written mid-air."
Yet he tells me: "I never tried it."
So you made all that up?
The 36-year-old doesn't seem like the skydiving type, anyway.
"I don't feel like the skydiving type."
"I had my gall bladder removed on Friday."
Are you fit to tour?
"I'll see how it goes."
He's not having the best of luck. Last year, he broke his back in a car crash soon after playing at Nottingham Boat Club. How does he feel?
"I'm not 100%."
On a lighter note, any memories of playing Nottingham?
Remember much about the place?
"I can't remember too much about it. Give me a clue."
A castle that doesn't look like a castle?
You played the Boat Club by the river next to a football ground.
"I remember."
Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.
This time Mascis is at The Social in Pelham Street for a solo acoustic show.
"Basically, I lost a lot of money last time playing with the band."
He is playing with an acoustic guitar but, he points out, it won't be at a Glen Campbell volume.
"It's got a fuzzbox," he says proudly.
And he still plans to treat us to past Dinosaur Jnr glories like The Wagon, Just Like Heaven and Whatever's Cool With Me. Though, he adds: "Freak Scene I've never really tried acoustic."
Dinosaur Jnr were like The Pixies, blasting out a new blueprint for US underground rock in the late eighties that influenced Kurt Cobain and co. It may grate on Mascis that he never made the big bucks to match his followers.
"Erm erm hup."
Well, that's what it sounded like. I think it's a no.
Weren't they as good as Nirvana?
"I don't think we were as radio-friendly."
You deserved to sell more records than you did.
"We sold more than I expected."
Mascis (the J is for Joseph), who lives in Massachusetts with his girlfriend and a dog, split the band for good in 1997 after 14 years.
"Err, I dunno. It seemed like the thing to do at the time."

Last week, I got to drop by Inglot Cosmetic's Pop Up Store at Robinsons in Raffles City to take a look at their new releases. There is the new The Star In You Collection and new additions to the What A Spice! Collection from fall. I am a fan of their single eyeshadows and their pigments, so the new Star In You Collection is definitely a winner in my books!
The Star in You Collection consists of 6 new shades of the AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadows (SGD 29), 4 Nail Enamel Colours (SGD 22) and 5 new shades of Body Sparkles (SGD 35).
If you are into shimmery and glittery shades on your lids, I really do suggest the AMC Pure Pigment Eyeshadows. These are extremely pigmented, and are absolutely stunning on the lids. I like to wet my brush (or you can mix it with their Duraline) and apply them onto my lids. If not, it can get a little messy and transfer, so do be careful.
My ultimate favourite has got to be 125! I have a makeup look using this pigment currently in the works, so do keep a look out for it if you're interested!
In addition to the launch of the Star in You Collection, Inglot also released 10 shades of their new HD Lip Tint Matte (SGD 32) and 6 new O2M Nail Enamel Colours (SGD 26) for their What A Spice! Collection.
The HD Lip Tint Matte is Inglot's take on matte liquid lipsticks as it is meant to dry to a silky matte finish. It claims to be long lasting, smudge-proof and transfer resistant. It comes in a clear tube with a doe foot sponge applicator like many out there in the market. Its consistency reminds me of those watery lip tints rather than traditional liquid lipsticks as it is not as viscous in texture.
|You can see the watery texture as I was swatching them on my arm
It goes on really nicely and takes a little longer to set and dry. I do find that this requires me to apply a lip balm before, as my lips are extremely dry, and this does settle into my lines when it dries down. Adding a lip balm helps to minimise the visibility of the lines and makes it more comfortable to wear.
Do these new launches interest you? Let me know if you plan to pick any of them up! You can find Inglot Cosmetics at Robinsons in JEM and Raffles City as well as Zalora.sg.
Till then,
**I was invited to preview the product launch. Only honest thoughts are shared here, with no influence from others. I am not compensated nor affliated to the brand.

MONGREL stands out in the Norwegian jazz fauna with their unpolished sound. Their music celebrates both well contemplated melodies and unexpected ideas, presented in their own, quirky manner. Consisting of four active and versatile improvisers from as different bands as KAROKH, Dr Kay & His Interstellar Tone Scientists, Ayumi Tanaka Trio and Baker Hansen, Mongrel is the bastard child of unpretentious jazz and open improvisation – constantly focusing on intuitive interplay.

Kaitlin from Mission Amare brings a fresh perspective in her posts on the subject of Forgetting to Remember. Part One dealt with daydreaming and the importance of writing things down, and Part Two focuses on journaling and the inconsistencies we all face.
It was especially interesting to hear about Kaitlin's first diary, as I could completely relate. My journal didn't have a key, and that only compounded the problem.
Go take a look at her recent post!

I'm really glad the New York Times is devoting some real resources to this ETA-Venezuela story: chavismo's willingness to entwine itself with every weirdo fringe group out there, no matter how violent, never ceases to fascinate. But the piece they ran about it today was a disappointment. It never really got around to answering the one question that matters in this whole saga: is the head of ETA's cell in Venezuela drawing a paycheck from the Venezuelan government?
I appreciate that writing about a fundamentally secret organization is fundamentally hard. But the truth is out there, and there's reason to believe Cubillas Fontán's work status isn't such a terrifically well-kept secret after all. For starters Maye Primera, of Tal Cual and Spain's El País, says she confirmed it with two of Cubillas's co-workers at the National Lands Institute (INTI). Not to mention the fact that if you pick up a phone, call INTI and ask for el Sr. Cubillas Fontán, switchboard puts you through to the Security Department.
Now, if Cubillas really is still working for INTI, then the Venezuelan government isn't obliquely "sponsoring" terrorists; it's employing them outright.
I don't understand how that's anything other than a huge story. We're talking zero degrees of separation: the Chávez government hired the leader of a terrorist cell. To do a security job, involving guns. In remote rural areas.
And this turns up, obliquely, in the eighth graf in their story!
Somebody has got to exhume that lede.

The wife of televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce from the high-profile pastor, whose reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers and criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups over his lavish lifestyle.Although divorce is a painful and private matter, in the same spirit I get from reading Benny's website where he hawks Bibles for $250, sells Jordan River Water from "the actual place on the Jordan River where our precious Lord Jesus was baptized" and reminds people "to plant a seed-gift into the fertile soil of this ministry!" that I speculate on what went wrong with his marriage.
Suzanne Hinn filed the papers in Orange County Superior Court on Feb. 1, citing irreconcilable differences, after more than 30 years of marriage. The papers note the two separated on Jan. 26 and that Hinn has been living in Dana Point, a wealthy coastal community insouthern Orange County.
- AP News
Top 5 Reasons Benny Hinn's wife is filing for Divorce
- She was tired of Benny blowing on all those women.
- She was embarrassed by him wearing white after Labor Day.
- She was done with him practicing his methods of pushing people over on her between crusades.
- She was afraid he'd find out she produced the YouTube hit, Let the Bodies Hit the Floor.
- Although Benny publically claimed his marriage was healthy, she never found any real proof to those claims.

Clearwater Soil & Water Conservation District
In 1977 Minnesota was stricken by drought conditions that nearly rivaled the infamous drought of the 1930s. That crisis prompted the Legislature to look at how the state's water supplies were being managed. Recognizing the need for improvement, the Legislature responded by passing the Comprehensive Local Water Management Act (Minnesota Statutes Sections 103B.301 to 103B.355). The act encourages counties to protect water and related resources through the adoption and implementation of local water management plans that are based on local priorities. Local ownership is the hallmark of the program. While the plans are voluntary, various state grants and even some federal monies require the county to have an adopted water management plan which is updated every five years.
In 1989, The Clearwater County Board of Commissioners appointed a local citizens-based task force to guide development of the plan for Clearwater County. The Task Force comprised of local representatives and interests as well as natural resource agency representatives serves in an advisory role to the SWCD, and ultimately to the County Board.The Clearwater SWCD accepted responsibility as lead implementing agency and fiscal agent. This program's name was changed again in 2004 to reflect the planning and implementation components, becoming Comprehensive Local Water Management. The SWCD Board and staff have worked with the Local Water Plan Task Force to implement the strategies identified in each Annual Work Plan. A meeting is held each year to discuss local resource issues and provide Committee members with updates on water quality protection accomplishments.
The Clearwater SWCD recently updated the Clearwater County Local Comprehensive Water Plan. Our new Water Plan will be in place from March 2010 through March of 2015.

Ruby on Rails
The Currently Playing sidebar section on the left is doing nothing unusual; it's simply pulling 4 entries from my database. It's the bit you can't see that's more interesting – the back end where I put the albums into the database is driven by Ruby On Rails
I'm a Ruby virgin, and so I've never touched Rails before, either. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it all is, particularly considering how young Rails still is.
Rails does a pretty good job of making your web application feel a whole lot more like programming a 'proper' object-orientated application, rather than a whole bunch of loosely connected PHP pages with some messy database code scattered throughout. I like it.
My album entry system consists of secure login authentication, nicely formatted album lists for display & editing, and an automatic artwork downloader which grabs the album art off the internet, resizes it, and converts it to jpg. The entire thing takes a mere 124 lines of Ruby.
If you're able to find a webserver supporting Ruby, I highly recommend checking it out.
- I'm really impressed. What a pity that my hosts don't support Ruby. — H2ORANGE Jul 7, 01:56 AM #
- I agree with you. The power of Rails is crazy, yet it is a lot of fun to work with. Glad to see someone else checking it out as well. Take care! — Pedro Jul 31, 01:08 AM #

I have noticed an interesting phenomena over the last 20 days of our resolution.
First thing: I often feel the need to explain that I'm not just taking from the community, but that I'm also giving. Some people respond with thrill when we describe our goal... some even feeling inspired to join us in some form or another. Others seem to have a... "so you're gonna mooch on society" type attitude. This has been rare but not absent.
Second thing: I often noticed others feel the need to defend their own use of "freecyle" or the idea of re-using other people's items. Now, I KNOW that I am not standing in judgment of them so its not my subtle attitude causing them to give me an explanation.
These two things have caused me a lot of pondering :) Why would we feel... embarrassed? defensive? judged? for choosing to live within a community that shares its excess??? This makes me sad. I don't have the answers now. I can imagine that the few people in this world who have taken advantage of the generosity of others has given ALL recyclers fear of being viewed as the same. This is unfortunate.
Acts 2:45-47 says, "All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
What an awesome vision for this life of living on excess! THIS is my vision... not to spend as little money as possible taking from others... but to support ALL who are in need... and to be supported. There was no shame in this. Only joy.
May we each find the joy as we are blessed with the "extra" others give as well as the joy found in giving our "extra" to others. Give to everyone who has a need, no matter how big or small, and see how God meets your OWN needs... sometimes through others, sometimes through sheer miracles, sometimes through freecyle :)
I will end on this note. I will not defend our choice by listing all of the things I have given away... as if to justify my asking for things I am in need of. Just as I will not ask for a list of donations from a brother or sister in need of whom I am giving my things. In a world SO focused on self-interests and self-gain, we will certainly come across people who just don't understand. May we seek only to please our Lord and be justified before Him as we make decisions based on prayer and Scripture in an effort to live Spirit-filled lives. Go, therefore, give and receive! :)

I went to France with my wife for 2 weeks and this converter was the only charging outlet we needed. The multiple outlets are enough for our 3 phones & iPad. Nice product.
Edgar 11/04/2018
everyone took pics because this was the best by far to charge and use all your items. I have used it for many times during my travel. Really love it.
Michael J Hentgen 10/04/2018
Glad to have this for my trip. I recharged my cellphone at night and used it to power up camera battery before I visit somewhere.
S DuMont 05/04/2018
The converter is lightweight. You can take it in your bag or luggage easily. Good for a lighter travel.
Shane M. 01/04/2018
The item is durable. I once dropped it down on the floor but there is no problem at all.
Richards Angel 01/01/2018
Took this on a recent trip to Iceland. Yes, the fan was a bit loud, especially in a tiny hotel room. However, the weight, convenience and quality far outweighed the fan noise for me. I was able to charge all my U.S. electronics and even rechargeable batteries with the combination of plugs and USB ports.
Shan Ma 01/12/2017
I would Highly Recommend getting one of these if you are planning to travel outside the USA...
Emily Park 28/11/2017
Good quality and design. Love it
HonestP 26/11/2017
I have used the converter in Scotland and Israel, and gonna use it in Italy. Used to have single plug adapters before but they can't meet my requirement well. This is the best adapter I have ever used.

A month's worth of rain in a couple of days is what they were saying yesterday and the wretched wetting received on the way to Cyprus Avenue to see The Staves indicated the weather-folk's predictions would prove to be uncharacteristically accurate. Fortunately, the three Watford sisters packed their folkie travelling bags full of sunshine and light before departing on their three date Irish tour.
No strangers to the fair city of Cork having supported both Michael Kiwanuka (Cyprus Avenue) and James Vincent McMorrow (Opera House) in the previous 6 months or so, last night marked Emily, Jessica and Camilla's first visit as headliners and - judging by the healthy attendance and exuberant applause come the end of the night - it will not be the last.
My first encounter with The Staves' heavenly harmonies was across the water at last year's End of the Road so I was eager to hear the new dynamics on seeing that they had added a rhythm section - just bass and drums - to flesh out the live experience. Pleased to note for the second night in 4 days the presence of a respectful crowd (maybe seating in CA is the way to go for folk/country gigs in future), the next hour is filled with heart-warming acoustic ballads pulled from the various releases to date. From the gorgeously gentle 'Icarus' (off Mexico) and the Fleet Foxes-esque triple vocals of 'Gone Tomorrow' the staggeringly accurate vocal lines confirm, if proof was required, all three are most definitely siblings.
All three tracks from new EP The Motherlode, on the shelves as recently as Monday, display steadily evolving songwriting abilities with the multiple voices on 'Pay Us No Mind' and 'Wisely And Slow' (especially the outro on the latter) reminding of Brooklyn's Dirty Projectors. The aforementioned addition of a rhythm section is carried out with grace and intelligence, adding subtle flourishes and accentuations here and there and only when required, emphasizing their own impact adding subtly to the sound rather than changing dramatically.
Introduced as an "old one" despite the threesome still having to release an album, the tender finger-plucking guitar and hushed harmonies of 'Mexico' is certainly the stand-out on the night with an encore featuring an appearance from impressive support - and regular touring partner - Dutch songwriter and former Galway-resident Christof. It may be their first headliner in Cork but The Staves are winning over new fans with every trip across the Irish Sea despite having released only a handful of EPs. Interesting to see how many will be at the next gig for I certainly will.

'The Motherlode' by The Staves is now available to purchase via all good record stores or via iTunes

Full Video Transcript
When a person dies, taxes may need to be paid on the person's estate if the value of the estate is equal to or more than the amount set by law that year. For instance, only those who died in 2008, only those estates worth more than $2 million dollars must file an estate tax return. In 2009, only those estates worth more than $3.5 million dollars must file. Depending on the year of death, the estate tax could even be repealed altogether, or revised to a different amount, so make sure you check the filing requirements for the year of death in your situation. Also, calculating the value of the estate can sometimes be tricky because the IRS has special rules regarding what items count toward the value of the taxable estate. For returns that are due, they must generally be filed within 9 months after the date of death. If you think you will have an estate on which tax must be paid, or for more information, take a look at IRS Publication 559 and Form 706 which explain estate tax return requirements in more detail.

Yes, it would be just an axle, but you would have to disconnect a handful of other suspension parts to get it out. Shop productivity is defined as the quantity of hours sold on retail, warranty, and internal repair orders, divided by the number of clock hours the technicians truly function. While we'd really like to save some cash and buy the much more pure Evo IX MR, the believed of paying to repair any and all honing harm frightens us. Rather, we'd choose up Mitsubishi's most recent Lancer Ralliart. Practically no household chemical or automotive fluid will harm a effectively sealed epoxy floor.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Large Breed Puppies and other Puppy topics.
Despite those movies that show people fleeing from vicious attack Dobermans, these dogs are usually wonderful family pets and the children in the family know that their huge, scary looking dog is actually a marshmallow where they are concerned. Many people who are looking for Doberman Pinscher puppies for sale are interested in finding a dog that will defend its family if they are faced with danger, but will also be quite happy to don some dress up clothes and have tea with the kids.
As you look for a Doberman puppy, think about the way ads are worded. If the emphasis is on the dog's ability to attack intruders, you may want to keep looking. Yes, Dobermans are usually great pets, but you don't want to look for a family dog that was bred with the emphasis on aggression. Instead, look for an ad that emphasizes temperament and loyalty.
If you do want a dog that is more protector than friend, consider buying a Doberman that was properly trained to be a guard dog. Ask for references and follow up to make sure the other dogs the breeder sold are well adjusted animals and safe to be around. Unfortunately, not every person who trains Dobermans does so in a way that creates a loyal, devoted dog.

Who absorbs the loss when online credit card fraud takes place - the customer, the merchant or the bank?
Complicating this question is the 3D Secure payment system, which was set up in 2001 by Visa and adopted by other credit card firms and banks.
In the system, when customers make online payments, they must key in a one-time password (OTP) sent to their cellphones by the bank.
Before this was implemented, if a fraudulent transaction was made online, the merchant paid the price as the bank did not then have to pay the merchant.
But responsibility has shifted to the banks now with merchants signing up for 3D Secure, as the banks must authorise the payment request and pay the merchant based on such authentication.
Liability could also fall on the customer, especially if his card details were given away deliberately or negligently.
But, with cellphones increasingly targeted by hackers, 3D Secure may not be as safe as before: hackers can break into the customer's phone and steal the OTP as well as other sensitive data such as passwords.
This means the customer can reject responsibility, too.
The OTP can be sent to a more secure hardware token, but most banks opt for SMS OTPs for convenience.
"Currently, the banks decide the method of OTP delivery from the many options available," said Visa's country manager for Singapore and Brunei, Ms Ooi Huey Tyng.
Some experts, such as Mr Thomas Zink, research manager at market research firm IDC, said consumers should not be liable for fraudulent transactions if they were not acting "fraudulently or without reasonable care".
Most of the time, users will have to trigger or approve the installation of malware.
But IT lawyer Bryan Tan said it can be hard for the layman to detect these insidious programs, and they are almost always downloaded unintentionally.
"If you are a designer of malware, you are not going to put big flashing lights and say this is malware. You are going to make it as insidious as possible," Mr Tan pointed out.
Experts say that consumers should be extra vigilant about the content they access on their mobile phone.
To better protect themselves against mobile malware, they should also be mindful when opening e-mail links.

Perth is wet and overcast today which makes me feel depressed. So let me tell you about how depressing it is to live in this city if you are not rich.
The mining investment boom is having no real positive effects on the local economy. Sure, the states balance sheet looks nice and healthy from all the royalty payments from the mining companies but the money is not 'trickling down' to the local economy. Businesses are closing or down-sizing. People are saving and paying down debt. Not spending into the economy. Electricity has almost doubled in cost over the past 18 months, followed not so far behind by a host of other government taxes and charges. But government services are, for all this, still hopelessly under-funded and understaffed while millions are spent coddling the mining sector with government infrastructure and various subsidies. All building a wall of obfuscation hiding the fact that the mining industry is marginal in this country and only serves the few.
Makes you feel kind of sick to see the disparity between the rich and the poor exacerbated as government capital expenditure (that we pay for in taxes) flies to unpopulated areas as dictated by the private mining companies. Leaves a lot of people seething here but opposition to the goon squad mining and gas lobby is a contest between unlimited wealth and power and people with little or no power trying to assert their independence from them. It is not helped when the government in Western Australia is nothing more than a rubber stamp for the policies and practices of the mining and gas companies that exploit our countryside with destructive and polluting forms of mineral extraction and waste disposal.
The environmental laws are a joke here and not enforced with any effect because that would interfere with the smooth running of the dirty miners and (to a large and odoriferous degree) the Liberal/National Party when it's in power. Not that the Labor Party has been all that much better. It comes down to the corrupting system of Party donations. To assert that such payments do not exert control over the leadership of the government by the people and/or organisations who make those extraordinary payments is ridiculous. These are payments that have no other purpose than to buy the mind and conscience of the politicians that ply their trade in Western Australia. The accident at Veranus Island was covered-up and whitewashed by our government because there was a failure of the regulator to do their job way before the explosion that knocked out a third of the states gas supply for three months at least. See how handily the mining/gas corporations work together with conniving WA governments (past and present) to keep us uninformed and thus oblivious to the damage that is being wreaked upon this state?
Probably most don't really care. As long as most peoples pay-cheque's keeps appearing in their bank they will find every reason under the sun not to voice a contrary opinion. Smarter not be ethical in this modern Malthusian world ruled by the need for expediency in the face of such massive and powerful corporations. That's if you want to be rich and successful….And who doesn't? I would aspire to such if I were not wise to the fact that for most the chance of success is a numbers game that is heavily weighted against the average punter. But no one thinks of themselves as average. No, we are all taught that we can be anything we want to be but wishing for anything other than a highly paid career/scam in this state is tantamount to suicide. Hence, everyone is crawling all over each other trying to claw their way to the top of the money tree.
There are two money trees in Western Australia. One is hidden in the upper echelons of the government and the other one is hidden in the board rooms of the banks that create the funny money to fund these massively capital intensive projects.
At the moment they are both working for the consolidation of power over our economy by stripping it of it's minerals and then exporting the profits to destinations outside the state as indeed the country. They are consolidating their power in the cities by depressing the local economy so that small businesses are becoming desperately short of the cash-flow necessary to survive, let alone prosper.
I'm not going to change this. I'm just one person who has no delusions about change. We get plenty of change but it's not the kind of change that makes life for the majority in this state any easier. Mr Buswell, the state governments disinformation spokesman has been in the paper today suggesting that despite the fall in iron prices (and the lay-off of over a thousand workers in one week) we should be talking up the strength of the WA economy.
I don't see any strength in the economy, Mr Buswell. I see a state economy built by a fraud against the citizens and then manipulated by the likes of you and the vested interests that own you. I don't see anything at all except a bunch of over-weight, over-indulged politicians lying their way through every day knowing they will never be held accountable for the deeds that they commit while in office. When the true nature of the deception by various governments of the past have finally come to light the culprits are long gone from power, with their loot and superannuation. Just as I'm sure Buswell will do after bullying and blustering through his golden reign with his buddy, Barnett.
"Breakfasts' just the beginning!", chortle the boys to the boys after a long night on the turps and leather dealing away the states future.
Did I mention that I expect nothing to get better? Economies speed up and slow down all the time but most is a shallow cyclic process and opportunities once given are now taken before they can be transformed into a tangible permanent asset. Don't make a fuss, though. Lest some will loose the ear of rich friends that politicians and their clones like to kiss-up to for comfort and opportunity. Aspiration is an indulgence only granted to the people that please their masters.
Did I bleat that we are all debt slaves who will eventually be forced by the government and corporations to give up our identities to prioritise the collective needs of said same? To be like some kind of mindless product harvested from the environment. A human resource. People should be concerned that we are thought as dirt, like the ore they dig up from the ground. Humanity to these people is just another vein to be tapped for it's uses then dumped with all the toxins they've ingested on the way!
Digressing, because it's my blog! Did I mention that one of the advantages of the National Broadband Fibre Network is to increase the capacity for us to submit to on and off-site monitoring of our physiological condition? That it could include anything from what drugs (legal or not) are in your body as to whether you are having sex or engaging in a sporting activity. Not much privacy for those who break the many laws of our country and find themselves on home detention or a mandated curfew of some kind (and the drones will be hovering over your back-garden). We already have to submit to health surveillance if you want to work in many industries and companies. This is simply a sinister and cynical move as people are, for instance, prohibited from smoking a little cannabis during their time off due to the type of deeply intrusive and offensive drug testing, (to many, perverted in nature because you have to hold your genitals out in front of a same sex person you've probably never seen before (in a toilet) who keeps a keen eye on them while you eject some fluid out.) while being forced to work while infected with a virulent and contagious flu due to the use of company supplied doctors that employees have to see instead of their own G.P.'s. Yes, This is the real Western Australia. As real as all the mining entrepreneurs/magnates with their mansions and privilege.
A great state to work and die in for the glory of the rich and affluent.
Hip, Hip, Hooray!, for the rich! Blog on!

The July 2011 deadline for beginning U.S troops withdrawals from Afghanistan "is the beginning of a process, not the date when the U.S. heads for the exits," Army Gen. David H. Petraeus told senators Tuesday.
At a hearing on his nomination to take command of the U.S.-led effort in Afghanistan, Petraeus emphasized his support for the deadline set by President Obama, but he also reiterated that the pace of any U.S. withdrawals next year should be "responsible" and determined by conditions on the ground at the time, according to remarks prepared for delivery at the hearing.
His careful explanation reflects the ongoing tension between the military, which is concerned that a withdrawal that takes place too rapidly could jeopardize efforts to stabilize Afghanistan, and some within the Obama administration, who favor a rapid drawdown and a shift to a smaller military footprint.
Petraeus was chosen last week by Obama to take command in Afghanistan after the previous commander, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, was fired over comments he and his several aides made in a Rolling Stone article.
Petraeus is expected to be easily confirmed, perhaps later this week.
He offered a mixed assessment of the progress of the war, predicting that violence would get worse in coming months but asserting that the U.S. and its allies have made progress in Helmand province and other areas.
"My sense is that the tough fighting will continue; indeed, it may get more intense in the next few months," Petraeus said. "As we take away the enemy's safe havens and reduce the enemy's freedom of action, the insurgents will fight back."
Petraeus, who was directly involved in formulating the current strategy as head of U.S. Central Command, did not signal any immediate change of direction in his statement. But he noted that some U.S. soldiers have complained about rules of engagement and tactical rules set by McChrystal aimed at preventing civilian casualties.
"Those on the ground must have all the support they need when they are in a tough situation," Petraeus said, noting that since he was nominated for the command position he has spoken about the issues with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other Afghan officials, who long have complained about civilian casualties.
"I am keenly aware of concerns by some of our troopers on the ground about the application of our rules of engagement and the tactical directive. They should know that I will look very hard at this issue," Petraeus said.
He added, however, that he would continue McChrystal's emphasis on reducing civilian casualties.
McChrystal recently announced that an operation in and around the southern city of Kandahar would take several months longer than expected. Petraeus pointed to another U.S. brigade scheduled to deploy to the area soon, as well as to an expanding effort by special-forces troops to kill and capture Taliban leaders and an effort to recruit and train more Afghan police for the area.
"The combination of all these initiatives is intended to slowly, but surely, establish the foundation of security," he said.
A major challenge he faces will involve pulling together efforts that have sometimes suffered from poor cooperation between the military and civilians, and between the U.S. and its allies, including the Afghan government.
"We can achieve such unity of effort because we have done it before," his prepared statement said, referring to his experience in Iraq, during which Petraeus enjoyed a close relationship with then-U.S. ambassador Ryan Crocker.
Crocker was one of the first people Petraeus called after being appointed, Pentagon officials said. However, the two spoke generally about the mission and Crocker is not expected to join Petraeus in Kabul.
In addition, to Karzai, Petraeus said he had talked in recent days with U.S. Special Representative Richard C. Holbrooke, U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and others in Kabul. He gave no indication that he would recommend that Obama replace the civilians running the U.S. effort.
"I will seek to contribute to such teamwork and to unity of effort among all participants," he said.
Several longtime Petraeus allies are already deeply involved in the effort in Afghanistan, including Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, who is running the effort to train Afghan army and police.
That effort, Petraeus said, is "now broadly on track, for the first time, to achieve overall approved growth goals and to improve Afghan security force quality." But he noted that Afghan police remain a concern and that "considerable work" needs to be done to reduce high attrition rates in the police and "to develop effective leaders."
At the beginning of his statement, Petraeus paid tribute to McChrystal, whose abrupt removal last week left the U.S. effort in limbo at least temporarily, until Petraeus arrives. McChrystal is expected to retire.
Petraeus noted that McChrystal had run the special operations effort in Iraq while Petraeus was in command there. "The surge in Iraq would not have been possible without Gen. McChrystal's exceptional leadership of our special mission unit forces there," he said.

Members of Team USA have been pulling Instagram pranks on each other over the past few days (see: sleeping Carmelo Anthony), but Kevin Love just one-upped the whole team with this photo. You can even see coach Mike Krzyzewski napping in the top-left corner.
According to Deron Williams on Twitter, Love's photo might have been a pre-meditated plot: "@kevinlove7 swore he was going to sleep!"
Some things we should bring to your attention:
1. Russell Westbrook wearing a "MAINTAIN THE MYSTERY" hat, sunglasses, and headphones.
2. Anthony Davis' enormous blanket.
3. LeBron's elbow pillow.

Intro to Lego Robotics, grades 1-2. A great introduction to Lego Robotics for younger minds and smaller hands. We'll build and program robots just like the older kids do, but our builds and programs are specially designed for kids grades 1-2.
Lego Robotics, grades 2-4. This is our core class, where kids learn to build and program Lego robots using Lego Education's award-winning WeDo robotics and programming software. Two great classes. Take either or both in any order, with no pre-requisites.
Robo Challenge, grades 3-5. (Intermediate robotics) Trying robotics for the first time as a 4th or 5th grader? Or took our Lego Robotics class and want more? And more of a challenge? This class is for you. Instead of working with step-by-step building directions and sample programs, we'll start each class with a programming challenge. Choose between two, non-sequential classes: Robo Challenge Machines and Robo Challenge Contraptions.
Mindstorms, grades 4-5 or 6-8 (Advanced Robotics). Students will have an awesome time building robots that can navigate obstacle courses and respond to a multitude of sensors, including motion, touch, sound … Finished part 1? Sign up for part 2!
Intro to Video Game Programming, grades 1-2. We'll use Scratch Jr. on iPads to learn the basics of programming. Scratch Jr. is a simplified version of Scratch, the super-simple drag-and-drop multimedia programming language designed by MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten project. Two classes, parts A and B. Take either or both in any order.
Video Game Programming, grades 3-5 or 6-8. Does your kid dream of writing his or her own video games? We've found a great way to get started: Scratch, the super-simple drag-and-drop multimedia programming language designed by MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten project. Two classes, parts A and B. Take either or both in any order.
Raspberry Pi Programming, grades 6-8. Limited to private classes or camp settings. It's fun to learn programming, especially when you can use your programs to control everyday electronic devices! We'll learn how to breadboard real electronic components, and write commands in Python to control LEDs, draw pixels on an LED matrix, read position data from an accelerometer and more. Projects include: a piano that plays when you step on pads, a classic game of Simon, and a remote control and display for a Space Invaders game!
Early Engineers, grades PK-K or K-1. Even the littlest hands will enjoy this class, where kids use larger bricks to build spinning tops, seesaws and more! Grade K. Can also be done for pre-K (age 4+).
Let's Roll Engineers, grades PK-K (ages 4+) or K-1. We start with a story that poses a challenge – how to get the character from here to there? Then we engineer our own vehicles to solve the problem!
Lego Engineers, grades 1-2. Young builders LOVE this opportunity to build catapults and other creations while learning engineering concepts.
Space Engineers, grades 3-5 or 6-8. Our projects and activities are designed around challenges that real NASA engineers face, like how to land a rover on Mars without breaking it (not easy – this is the egg drop on steroids!), how to map and navigate terrain on another planet via remote control systems, and of course (safe!) rocket launches!
Young Engineers, grades 3-5 or 6-8. Lots of people follow recipes for 30 years and still can't cook. We don't want that to happen to your budding engineers. In this class, kids will learn basic engineering concepts, while designing and building cool things like toothpick bridges and catapults.
Electronics, grades 2-3. We'll learn the fundamentals of electricity while making take-home projects including a lemon battery, burglar alarm, electric musical instruments and more!
3-D Design, grades 4-5 or 6-8. Students will sharpen their spatial awareness as we learn how to use 3-D software to bring their ideas to life! We'll learn to draw in two dimensions, and then change those drawings into 3-D objects using tools including extrusion, rotation, mirroring and more. Learning these skills now will make it easier for students when they study geometry in high school.
Acing Math Cards, grades K-5. In this class, our students have so much fun playing card games that they don't realize they are actually improving their math skills. Games cover addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, patterns, positive and negative integers and more. Students will be grouped by age and ability.
The Art of Math (new for Fall 2016), grades 2-4. Art lovers: Who knew math could be so interesting? Even math phobics will have fun as we unwittingly build our math skills with puzzles involving patterns and shapes, including tetraflexagons, hexaflexagons and Escher designs. We'll even build our own geodesic dome. New award-winning mathematically inspired projects and games each week including Tangrams, Pentominoes, Tantrix and more.
Nature Science, grades 1-2. Each week, we'll read a storybook about nature and then learn more about nature science with hands on projects. Depending on season and class interests, projects may include solar art, earthworm habitats, casting animal tracks and more! As weather allows, we'll also take brief nature walks to collect samples to view through microscopes.
Storybook Science, grades K-1 (or ask for our pre-Kindergarten version for ages 4+). Mythbusters meet storybooks! Each week, we'll read one of our favorite stories and then conduct hands-on experiments to test the truthfulness of certain elements of the story. Great news: if you love this class, we have FOUR different versions, each with unique projects. They can be taken in any order.
Storybook Duplo and Storybook Lego for grades PK-K. Think outside the box and return to the days when Legos didn't come in kits, and all the instructions came out of kids' heads. Our Storybook Duplo class is an excellent marriage of storytelling and literacy with the world of engineering!
