We had a great workday on Saturday with 27 volunteers. We poured the abutment for the Redwood Creek Bridge and built a smaller bridge over a small ditch on the approach. Our next workday (March 16th) we will be building two more small bridges and a working on a few other tasks to get the trail ready to open. The South Bay Mountain Biking Meetup Group will be sponsoring lunch on the 16th. Please sign up at www.trailworkers.com.
We will be meeting at the Pogonip Ranger Station at 9am and working until 1pm. The ranger station is a few hundred feet past the old clubhouse and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to from the gate at the end of Golf Club Drive. Parking has been real tight on workdays at Golf Club Drive and there have been some complaints from neighbors. It would be great if people could park at the City corporation yard lot or along Golf Club Drive before the train trestle. We will have Rebecca's Mighty Muffins donated by Rebecca's at the Tannery. Please bring sturdy shoes, long pants, gloves, and water. Tools and instruction will be provided. Questions? email firstname.lastname@example.com

Implications for practice and research
Patients experiencing late onset hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and placental dysfunction disorders (PDD) should be closely monitored for disorders associated with abnormal placentation, including pre-eclampsia (PE), placental abruption and delayed intrauterine growth.
In addition, research is needed to study the potential effects of low-dose aspirin and increased blood pressure surveillance on the outcome of pregnancy in these patients.
While the incidence of HG is only 0.3–2%, the associated severe nausea and vomiting frequently lead to dehydration, malnutrition and hospitalisation.1 Aetiology of HG is unclear, although most researchers consider the hormonal changes to be at least partly responsible. This study has an interesting hypothesis: that …

The IHSAA (Indiana High School Athletic Association) recently announced classifications for the next four years. While there weren't a lot of changes locally, there were a few. The biggest difference is the fact that Brownstown Central is moving to Class 3A in all sports. The Braves had played in the Class 2A Sectional 47, but now will move to a 3A sectional, which will likely feature a number of local schools similar in size. Corydon 774, Charlestown 729, North Harrison 685, Salem 627, Mitchell 620 and Brownstown 596 are comparable with students enrolled in grades nine through 12. West Washington has spent the past four years competing in Class 2A as a result of one very large class. The Senators will move back to Class A for the next four years. Crawford County, a mainstay in the Class 3A sectional 30 in recent years will move back to Class 2A. Henryville has been a class A school, but will move to Class 2A. Austin, Scottsburg and Crothersville remain the sameclass as they were prior to the latest classification numbers. No schools in Clark, Harrison or Floyd changed classifications. The changes are sure to affect the sectional lineups but those will not be determined until later this school year. The complete list of schools can be found at www.ihsaa.org.

McMasters sentenced to prison for home invasion
ALPENA – Eric Douglas McMasters was sentenced to prison Monday for his role as a bystander in a home invasion of a 73-year-old woman.
The crime was committed during a three-man spree in early December 2012, which also included the burglary of an Alpena sausage shop and a case involving methamphetamine.
McMasters received two to 15 years in prison for breaking and entering a home at 911 Merchant St., Dec. 3, 2012, where he removed valuables. He received two to five years as an accessory to the home invasion Dec. 7, and 17 months to 10 years for supplying Sudafed for the manufacture of meth, Prosecutor Ed Black, said.
Authorities said McMasters had been on parole for the malicious destruction of property when the crimes occurred. All of his sentences will be served at the same time. McMasters has credit for 158 in jail and could be free in 19 months.
McMasters was along for the ride Dec. 7, when Dylan Shane Fitzpatrick, 19, allegedly broke into the home of Bettylou Bartley. After hitting her on the head with a vase, Fitzpatrick stuffed a suitcase and a pillow case with $26,000 worth of coins, silver and jewelry from her home and her safe. He is to be sentenced June 17 in circuit court, and faces life in prison. A third suspect, Brandon J. Krause is out on bond.
The valuables have never been recovered, authorities said.
The 19-year-old Alpena man thought Fitzpatrick was going into the home to buy marijuana, but when he saw the valuables, he knew otherwise, sealing his role as accessory, Black said.
Before the sentence was handed down by 26th Circuit Court Judge Michael Mack, McMasters turned to several of the victims and said, "I just want to apologize to the victims for what I did."
Otherwise, he was silent and showed no emotion when Mack issued the sentences.
"His statement or lack thereof indicates he doesn't have remorse," Mack said to the audience, adding the victims' lives had been thrown into turmoil.
Bartley was hospitalized and went through surgery, because of bleeding in her brain.
"God forbid it should ever happen to you," Mack said to McMasters.
McMaster's father was in the courtroom during sentencing. Kirk McMasters of Hubbard Lake said although his son had been born out of wedlock, he had provided child support. He also spent $50,000 to send the youth to a private school downstate in an effort to get him help.
"When I heard what had happened … Well. I know Eric. He has a temper," McMaster said.
Once released from jail, Kirk McMasters said he wants to get his son out of Alpena and into the country, where he would be away from bad influences.
"We care about him," McMasters said.

The establishment of a Mine Design Laboratory for improved teaching of and learning by Mining Engineering students: A case study
B. Genc; F. Cawood
School of Mining Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
Improving student success rates without compromising the quality of graduates is one of the biggest challenges expanding university programmes are facing in South Africa. By establishing a new Mine Design Laboratory (MDL) for higher learning in Mining Engineering, the School of Mining Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits Mining) has achieved one of the important goals in its five-year strategic plan, i.e. to improve throughput in all years of study. Although the establishment of the laboratory has been a costly exercise, results so far have shown an improved success rate in most subjects taught in the facility. This paper outlines the design and equipment of the laboratory, the facilities incorporated, a comparison with the old laboratory, and the performance of studentsall of which indicate how important it is to have proper facilities to improve the teaching of, and learning by, large classes. Through this initiative, Wits Mining has taken an important step that will contribute to addressing the skills shortages in the mining industry.
Keywords: establishment of a Mine Design Laboratory for Mining Engineering students, Wits mining facilities, improving student success rate, addressing the skills shortages in the mining industy.
South Africa is one of the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of mineral resources. It is the largest producer of platinum, and one of the leading producers of gold, diamonds, base metals, and coal. The South African mining industry's contribution towards the country's gross domestic product (GDP) varies between 5 to 10 per cent and it currently employs about 500 000 people (Department of Mineral Resources, 2010).
To capitalize on these valuable mineral resources, it is vital for the country to have available the necessary technical skills. This requires the availability of adequate numbers of mining engineers and corresponding skilled personnel. Such skilled staff, in turn, require the adequate education and training of personnel to meet the needs of the country. However, skilled personnel are currently in short supply. The worldwide shortage of mining engineers is well publicized. Phillips (2005) reported a growing disparity between supply and demand for mining engineers. Stacey et al. (2008) emphasized the strategic importance of addressing these skill shortages, since mining is a long-term business. The shortage of skills should be dealt with as a mining company strategy to ensure the supply of the necessary skills for future mining, since the lack of skills will have significant consequences for design, operations, productivity and safety of mines (Stacey et al., 2008).
The University of the Witwatersrand (generally known as Wits University) is one of the leading universities in South Africa. Wits enrolled 28 442 students in 2010 and its current undergraduate success rate is 78 per cent (University of the Witwatersrand, 2011a). Wits Mining is one of the Schools within the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at Wits University. Wits Mining is the largest Mining Engineering school in the English-speaking world, and in February 2011 had 20 full-time academic staff members with 695 registered students (University of the Witwatersrand, 2011b). Table I shows staff-student numbers over the last three years and Table II shows the breakdown of student numbers from 1999 to 2011 for the different programmes. Therefore, Wits Mining is in a strong position to make a significant contribution to the provision of qualified mining engineers to the mining industry, and consequently, must ensure that its students are taught the appropriate subject matter at a consistently high level.
Mine design is a key aspect of mining engineering and includes all areas (technical, financial, environmental, health and safety, etc.) involved in the assessment of the profit potential of a mining venture from basic exploration data. The computer skills that are essential in mine design play a vital role in converting basic exploration data into a valuable mining asset. The teaching of modern mining engineering requires facilities to enable students to learn the necessary computer skills. For this reason, Wits Mining saw the need to establish a specialized Mine Design Laboratory (MDL) for the education and training of its mining engineering students. The MDL is a specialized computer laboratory that is specifically equipped with the relevant computer hardware and software for mine design and other mining-related work. The School had two main aims in establishing the MDL:
i. To provide a facility that would make mining-specific computer software available to mining engineering students
ii. To make available computers at the minimum ratio of one computer per two students, so that academic throughput and success rates of students could be improved.
Although student throughput has always been a problem for engineering disciplines, the change to the National Senior Certificate, which gives students access to university studies, has had a profound impact at first-year level. The impact of the conversion from the old matriculation certificate to an Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) certificate on Wits Mining is clearly visible in Table II. The first OBE class arrived at the university in 2009, and the statistics in Table II show:
A significantly higher number of first-year students as more students qualified for university admission
A very high attrition rate in first year, as only 85 of the 223 first-year students progressed to second year in 2010.
The number of first-year students reached 233 in 2011, the highest number in the School's history. As stated in its annual report (University of the Witwatersrand, 2010b), in line with a major goal in the strategic plan, the ratio of staff to students was reduced from one academic for every 43 students in 2010 to a ratio of one to 34 in 2011 . This change was achieved by limiting the number of postgraduate students. The School's ultimate objective is to reduce the present ratio of 34 students per lecturer to the point where it reflects the overall Wits University average of one staff member to about 25 students. The result was a significant reduction, in 2011, of the total number of enrolled students to 695 from 808 in 2010.
The School's four-year B.Sc. degree offers computer-related subjects from the start of the degree programme. First-year students are offered a simple introduction to computer skills. When they reach their fourth and final year, they are equipped to complete their Mine Design Project. Table III shows the number of computer-related courses that have been offered to the undergraduate students using the MDL. The MDL is also used for teaching several of the postgraduate courses that require computers.
In addition to the teaching of mining engineering students, Wits Mining provides service teaching to the School of Geosciences at Wits University. Some geology students attend second- and third-year computer subjects (mining) as well as some of the non-computer related mining subjects. Their numbers differ from year to year, varying between 10 and 37.
The old Mine Design Laboratory
The first MDL was established in the early 1990s with 10 PCs. In 1997, the MDL's capacity increased to 25 PCs, and 25 laptops were added in early 2008 to increase the ratio of available PCs per student. Therefore, in the old MDL in 2010, the School had a total of 50 workstations for 228 first-year students and 108 second-year students. The old MDL could accommodate up to 75 students (three students per desk). With a first-year class size in excess of 200 students, this lack of workstations was clearly an unacceptable situation and contributed to the student throughput problem. All of the 25 desks were identical; their dimensions being 180 x 90 x 70 cm as shown in Figure 1.
The old MDL had a floor area of about 200 m2. It had two large screens in the room to allow projection of the lecturer's PC screen. Wits Mining made use of the old MDL until the end of 2010. Table IV summarizes the computer-related subjects taught in the old MDL during 2009 and 2010.
Over the past five years, Wits Mining's first-year intake increased well above the capacity of the School's computer facilities (refer to Table II). During 2010, the increased number of students forced Wits Mining to divide the first-and second-year computer courses into three and two classes respectively. The third-year computer course was also divided into two classes. The limited capacity with regard to computer facilities impacted on the performance of students. Table V shows the key statistics regarding the School's throughput of students in 2009 and 2010. The success rates for first- and second-year students were unacceptable and contributed significantly to the poor throughput rates.
As an example, the ideal target throughput for the four-year undergraduate programme is 25 per cent. The 25 per cent target for the four-year undergraduate programme represents the situation where all entrants would graduate in four years. The throughput is calculated as the number of graduates in a year divided by the total headcount for that programme that year. Similarly, the ideal target for the two-year certificate programme is 50 per cent.
The School's aim has always been to assign an individual computer to each student to maximize the teaching and learning outcomes in order to achieve higher pass/throughput rates. With industry support, Wits Mining has established a new MDL for improved education and training of its mining engineering students.
The new Mine Design Laboratory
The fourth quadrant of the Chamber of Mines Building, where the Wits Mining is located on the West Campus of the University, was completed early in 2010. On the fourth floor of the new quadrant, just over 550 m2 area was allocated for a new MDL. This space represents more than a 100 per cent increase in area compared with the 200 m2 of the old MDL.
With this space allocation, Wits Mining aimed to establish a new MDL with the maximum number of PCs, bearing in mind the continually increasing number of students. Keeping the objective of assigning an individual computer to each student in mind, a new MDL with 99 PCs/desks was designed. One of the main reasons behind the establishment of a new MDL is the teaching of computer-related subjects to the mining engineering students. Wits Mining offers computer-related subjects during each year of study. Some courses are one block (about three months) long (e.g. MINN1001), some are a full-year course (MINN2000) and some are half-year courses as can be seen in Table II. From the third year onwards, the students are taught core mining software in preparation for their final-year subject and capstone courseMine Design.
The establishment of the new laboratory was a lengthy and complex task, since different suppliers were involved in completing the desired facility. Several months were spent researching the way forward to establish the laboratory. This entailed extensive investigations into the correct suppliers of furniture, audio-visual facilities, light fittings, and network switches.
The current features of the new MDL are:
100 networked PCs
99 PC desks to accommodate a maximum of 198 students (a maximum of two students per desk at first year level)
Specially designed computer desks
Fully integrated presentation capabilities
Full interaction between lecturer and students through an advanced sound system
Thirty-two invisible ceiling speakers
Four data projectors with motorized screens
A document camera, which eliminates the need for a white-board
Dimmable lights
Full control over students, monitors by the lecturer.
Although some lectures were presented in the new MDL from September 2010, it was officially opened only on 29 October 2010. The new MDL became fully operational only from the beginning of 2011 .
Every facet of the mining industry today makes use of some form of mining and commercial software. Kapageridis (2005) stated that the use of software is becoming more and more widespread, from exploration through mine design to rehabilitation. As Wits Mining's main objective is to prepare its graduates for the mining industry, teaching the use of mining software is a very important part of the curriculum. Wits Mining has strong ties with Gemcom Software (2010) and has historically made use of Gems, Whittle, and Surpac mine design and utilization software. Mining software packages usually require significant processing power, and the packages mentioned earlier are no exceptions. Even though Wits Mining offers different levels of computer-related courses, it was necessary to invest in a hardware configuration that would be sufficient for the seamless operation of the mining-related software, and also to complement the School's five-year strategic plan for the PCs to serve Wits Mining for at least five years. Table VI shows most of the available software in the MDL.
The MDL is now equipped with 100 Dell Precision workstations with Xeon processors, each running a 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, and each with 12 Gb of RAM and 22-inch LCD monitors. The pricing information is summarized in the Appendix .
PC desks
The final-year Mining Engineering students have to complete a Mine Design Project as their capstone course before graduating. During these projects, the students make use of large mine plans, which require a large working surface with minimum obstruction. In addition, Wits Mining wished to use this large new venue as an examination hall. These two requirements and the desire for the establishment of a multipurpose venue dictated that the computer monitors be placed under glass covers so that the PC desks could serve all purposes. Figure 3 shows the specially designed PC desk.
The new MDL has a floor area of about 550 m2. It has a reverse L-shape, as shown in Figure 5. Special PC desks were designed so that the available floor area could be fully utilized. Accordingly, all 99 desks are identical, with dimensions of 180 x 90 x 70 cm. Figure 4 shows the front section of the laboratory, and Figure 5 shows the distribution of the PCs in the facility.
Pricing information is included in the Appendix.
Networking equipment
The network speed plays an important role in terms of data transfer. Certain mine design software requires high-speed client-server connectivity. Wits Mining's network speed was upgraded to Gigabit (1000BaseT) speed in 2005. To achieve conformity with our new standard, Wits Mining decided to purchase three additional 96-port 1000BaseT pieces of networking equipment for the fourth quadrant of the building to serve not only the new MDL, but also the remaining PCs in the School.
Pricing information for the networking equipment is also shown in the Appendix.
Audio and visual equipment
Because of the size of the new MDL venue, with 100 PCs and up to 198 students, it was necessary to install a specialized sound system to ensure proper interaction between students and lecturer. This situation was unique, as the new MDL was not a conference venue where multiple speakers can interact. Wits Mining wanted to design the sound system so that only the lecturer's microphone is active at all times, and only one student microphone would be activated when the lecturer granted permission. Working closely with sound professionals, a special microphone system was designed. Microphones were attached to each PC desk. To prevent the unauthorized use of the system, a management control panel was designed, allowing control not only of the microphones, but also of 32 invisible ceiling speakers. Figure 6 shows a typical student microphone and the lecturer's control panel. Using the control panel, all the equipment in the venue can be managed. The following functions are available:
Control of the volumes of the lecturer's and the students' microphones
Management of the lights - on/off switch as well as dimming of the fluorescent lights
Control of four data projectors
Management of motorized screens
Control of student's screen by means of an on/off switch.
This control system makes both teaching and learning effective. Through the individually desk-mounted microphones and invisible ceiling speakers, not only can the lecturer be heard clearly by students, regardless of where they are sitting in the venue, but all students can also hear clearly when one student talks into his/her microphone. By referring to the four data projectors in the MDL, the students can easily see whatever the lecturer projects through his PC or the document camera. The document camera is capable of displaying whatever is put under the camera, which totally eliminates the need for a whiteboard. Through these innovations, students are not disadvantaged because of the location of the PC they are using, which was a significant problem in the old MDL.
New MDL and old MDLa comparison
The new MDL became partially operational in September 2010. The Computerised Mine Design (capstone) course was the first course taught in the new facility in 2010. Since then, all the School's computer-related courses have been scheduled to run in the new laboratory starting from 2011. Table VII compares the available features between the old and the new MDL. TableVIII shows the computer-related subjects taught in the new MDL during 2010 and 2011, indicating the numbers of students, course success rates, and the average mark for each course. Table IX compares the success rates between the old MDL and the new MDL, and Table X compares the average marks.
The data in Table IX demonstrates quite clearly the benefits that the new MDL has provided to the students and Wits Mining, as almost all the subjects taught have shown an improvement in the success rate. Although Table X indicates that in two subjects, course average marks fell, the overall average mark increased from 60.8 per cent to 68.6 per cent, in effect a 13 per cent increase. However, the very heartening result is that success rates have improved substantially, even over the short period that the new MDL has been in operation. This success is a clear demonstration that the throughput problems associated with teaching and learning in large classes can be partially addressed if students and lecturers have access to appropriate facilities.
The new MDL has already demonstrated its ability to improve teaching and learning with the much improved success rates in the new facility. Although the establishment was a costly project, the early results justify the investment in the facility. Through this initiative, Wits Mining has also taken an important step towards addressing the skills shortages in the mining industry. The aims of the School in establishing the new MDL has been achieved - an excellent and comprehensive mine design facility is now in operation; and improved throughput of students in computer-related subjects has already been demonstrated.
The School of Mining Engineering would like to acknowledge the following for their valuable contribution to the completion of the new MDL:

Grande cheese is now available on the retail level and sold under the name "Piacci"
Thanks guys! Very useful to know, as I need a baseline to start from. My oven goes to 550 and I use a stone. Appearently, the way to make this type of pizza is to nuke it. I found a big difffernce in the crust when the stone was preheated (who would have thought) and I have been working with KASL, but I hear some folks talk about 00 flour. Is the 00 flour hi gluten or just more finely ground? Hey Ev, I was just in Lancaster yesterday. I live in Kutztown, small world!
Heck yeah, we're practically neighbors! A good stone (not one from say, Target or Walmart) works very well. Some like using steel plate.
Well I'm not really sure where you get that from because the cheese on their site is fresh mozz.

Get Cheap Corning, NY DSL Internet Service from the Top DSL Providers
Broadband or high speed internet is not really the coming trend: it is now a basic necessity if a person really wants to connect with friends and family, be updated on news stories, stream live video, download music, or play online games.
One of the most popular ways of acquiring high speed internet access in Corning, NY is through a digital subscriber line, or DSL. Delivered by the existing telephone network infrastructure, Corning, NY DSL internet service provides high speed access that's significantly faster than any dial-up internet service provider can deliver.
Read on and discover how to get the best Corning, NY DSL internet deals and how the service performs.
What is Corning, NY DSL High Speed Internet & How Does it Work?
A Corning, NY DSL internet connection delivers broadband speeds to the consumer over a normal telephone line. The technology is such that, in contrast to dial-up connections -- which also use phone lines -- with DSL internet a single line is all that is needed for the user to simultaneously access the internet and still have the ability to make and receive calls.
DSL internet involves utilizing a special device that "splits" the telephone line into high and low frequencies. The low frequencies -- lower than 5 kHz -- are utilized to transmit voice data, whereas the high frequencies -- above 24 kHz -- are used for the internet connection, sending information to and from the internet. There's no bleed-over between the frequencies and consumers will usually not even realize that they are employing a solitary phone line.
The particular telephone jacks required for a DSL internet connection are really easy to install and most customers choose to perform the installation on their own; however, some Corning, NY DSL providers will install the equipment included in the service package.
Benefits of Using Corning, NY DSL Internet Services
For those who're price conscious, DSL internet service Corning, NY is a very affordable option. Likewise, DSL internet service is available just about everywhere, though there may be some signal degradation or slower connection speeds for people who are located some distance from the central location.
Most Corning, NY DSL internet service providers offer various connection packages, which highlight bandwidth. Bandwidth is the quantity of data which can be carried over an existing connection and is important if you are planning to be sending or receiving considerable amounts of data, such as videos. Obviously, the more bandwidth you require, the more you will need to pay. For many users, though, a basic connection plan is more than sufficient for their internet access needs.
Although not as fast as most cable internet connections, a big benefit of DSL internet is that the bandwidth isn't shared; therefore, at peak connection times, you've all of the accessible bandwidth to yourself and you are not competing with neighbors to transmit information upstream or receive downstream information.
DSL internet is a big technological step-up from a dial-up connection: the speed difference is incredible and the consumer's phone line will always be designed for incoming and outgoing calls. There's no more of the deliberating between surfing the internet and keeping the phone line open in anticipation of a call, which is a relief to a lot of customers.
Top Corning, NY DSL Internet Providers in the U.S.
AT&T - Successful since the 1980's, AT&T is now one of the top high speed internet providers in the world. DSL internet makes connecting to the internet easy throughout the U.S., and it is one of the most competitively priced and affordable services.

Threes!, eh? What's that all about?Well, it's an iOS and Android puzzle game that proves bad things don't always come in—
You've already done that joke. It's in big text at the top of the pageSorry. We're recycling a bit, copying and pasting, in order to fit in more games of Threes! Since getting hold of this puzzler when it was recently released for iPhone and iPad, our daily priorities have roughly been, in this order: breathing, eating, sleeping, Threes!, other stuff. Now it's on Android, too, there's no escape; but we're pretty sure we can cut down on that breathing thing, to squeeze in more Threes! time.
But it really doesn't look like much. It's just a match game, right, where you slide tiles about?Yes, but that's how it gets you. You're all: "Well, how dangerous can this be? It's JUST a simple puzzle game. I can put it down ANY TIME I CHOOSE. I don't HAVE to stay up until four in the morning, getting the best score among my similarly addicted chums."
So what sets Threes! apart from all the other puzzlers out there?The underlying mechanics are ingeniously simple, but give you almost endless scope for improving your strategy and gradually boosting your scores. At its core, it's a basic match game: you merge a 1 and 2 to make a 3, and then pairs of cards are merged to double their face value. As you swipe, though, every card on the tiny four-by-four grid slides in that direction; and on every move, a new card enters the grid in a random empty space on the edge you swiped away from. It's game over when you get stuck, and so you must think many moves ahead. It's a bit like chess, but with oddly cute cards spouting catchphrases.
Cards with… catchphrases? Are you drunk again?There's no time for that these days! Haven't you been listening? But the cuteness and catchphrase things are yet more great aspects of Threes!, in that there's personality infused throughout what could have otherwise been a dry (if still absurdly addictive) game. The little cards are each formally introduced the first time they appear, and when a pair arrives on-screen, they chirp at each other, in anticipation of being merged. Oh, and then there's the clever scoring system, where each tile's worth three times its predecessor's value. So a 3 is worth 3, but a 6 is worth 9, and a 12 is worth 27. Get a 768, and that's worth 19,683 points! It really urges you on to figure out how to reach those big cards — with just 'one more go' after having already had several 'one more goes'.
…Are you there?
Busy. Playing Threes! Go awayAh, OK. Well, there's an infographic with more about Threes! below, if you want to know some interesting facts and find out how you're doing compared to everyone else…
CODA: The world economy nosedives as everyone becomes glued to Threes! Stuff apologises for the inconvenience and upcoming dystopia, where oil or water won't be currency, but instead still-powered-up devices with working copies of Threes! installed. To help bring about the end of civilisation, grab your own copy: it's US$1.99 for iOS and RM6.53 on Google Play for Android.

I picked up 2 more Wind Raiders today!! That makes my Wind Raider purchases 5 They are so freaking cool and I hope we get the Battle Ram soon!!!
- - - Updated - - -
Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask whether the "Buy a WindRaider" day is still in the plan? I am willing to participate if there is enough people in.
I think the Cyber Monday sale was the best time to purchase Wind Raiders. $35 is a pretty good deal for an impressive toy like this. I got two extras now.
I bought 2 more durring the cyber sale. I think I have 6 in total. 4 opened and 2 mib. $35 was a steal plus the extra percent off plus and the shipping discount. It was probably closer to $35 even with shipping.
Lipster Heroic Warrior
I picked up another one at $35. I'm unlikely to buy yet another one until that happens again...and then I might buy two of them.
It's all about being polished when it counts!
I'm afraid I can't do more unless/until they go on sale for cheaper again......
I already have 2, sitting in a storage unit with the rest of my MOTUC collection...I don't need another one.
Successful trades/purchases
Squishy Duck Man, Man-E-Toys, JOAH-MAN, Jawbridge, Zuff-Man, Mern-Ra, He-Ryno, tattoojunkie74, zodak74, bigassbuzz
Yeah, with $35 I think most people already bought their additional Wind Raiders. I see no further point in doing a BAWR-day, unless Mattel would drop the price again.
Positivity, folks!
Let´s all agree to love MOTU enough to let others love MOTU, too!
I never was interested in the wind raider but my wife bought me one and I opened it today and I have to say its so cool I really enjoying it

A trinity of quotes today.
One from a scientist. One from a philosopher. And the final from a priest. Somehow they speak to the foundation I sense I'm standing on. It is, to be sure, a weak foundation. I'm not looking for a strong or obscenely certain one. The weakness of the foundation is as weak as Love itself–something that calls to us, that draws us, urging us to be fall forward, to take the leap, propelling us ahead, but without force. In the end my affirmation is a simple one, to quote Gianni Vattimo when asked if he still "believed", he answered "I believe so." I believe that I believe.
You have a choice… I don't think anyone can prove that God exists or that God doesn't exist–we're in an area far to deep for mere proof…a big fundamental question like belief in God (or disbelief) is not settled by a single argument. It's too complicated for that. What one has to do is consider lots of different issues and see whether or not the answers one gets add up to a total picture that makes sense–but also gives meaning, beauty, depth, joy and hope. In other words do you like the panting that you've just created or not?–Polkinghorne, pg 36
Who do I love when I love my God? I love this question because it assumes that anybody worth their salt loves God. If you do not love God what good are you? You are too caught up in the meanness of self-love and self-gratification to be worth a tinker's damn. Your soul soars only with a spike in the Dow Jones Industrial average; your heart leaps only at the prospect of a new tax break. The devil take you. Religion is for lovers, for men and women of passion, for real people with real passion for something other than utilitarian gains, people who believe on something, who hope like mad in something, who love something with a love that surpasses understanding…but again, we must ask then "Who do I love when I love my God?"(Caputo, pg 2)
Dear friend, being beloved is the origin and fulfillment of the life of the spirit. I say this because as soon as we catch a glimpse of this truth, we are put on a journey in search of the fullness of that truth and we will not rest until we rest in that truth. From the moment we claim the truth of being beloved we are faced with the call to become who we are. Becoming the Beloved is the spiritual journey we have to make. (Nouwen, pg 41)

Rated 5 out of 5�by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sarah AWESOME!!! These are our first pairs of water boots and we will definitely buy more! I have 3 boys and acreage that has lots of water where they of course go play. I was worried the neoprene wouldn't truly be waterproof-it really definitely is, 100%! And they are really warm. I wore one of them with no socks, worked in water in 20 degree weather, and was still warm after an hour! I will now be buying myself a pair instead of new winter boots! January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by HappyGrammy Too Cute For Words These are the cutest boots ever! They are for my 2 1/2 yr old grandson and while he hasn't received them yet, I know he will love them. Mud puddles look out!! December 14, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by wakey13 Warm, waterproof, and easy to pull on and off! This is the 2nd size and 4th pair of these boots I have purchased for my 9 year old grandsons; as their feet grow, we buy new Bogs. Easy to pull on and take off, warm enough for hunting and doing chores on the farm, and waterproof so feet stay dry. Great boot for kids! November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tigger Great boot We have three pairs of this boot for my three boys. We live on a farm and are outside quite a bit, these boots are great for the wet fall and great for the cold winters. The kids have warn them tracking through the bush and they are nice and high so I don't worry when they are stomping through the puddles and muck. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by MomOf3Boys Great Purchase I bought 2 pairs for my sons, 3 & 5. My boys love them and ask to wear these everywhere! November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Willow Love them! My son won't take them off! He has worn them in the snow during 10 below and his feet are warm!! They are water proof so he wears them in the pond during the spring and that why we bought the ones with no handles, so he can go deeper without water coming in! Highly recommended. Now I am buying this brand for all my children. May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jb Great product These boys are a must have for any little kid that loves mud. I've spent tons of money on cheap boots and these are well worth their money. His feet never get cold or wet. He plays in these everyday while playing in mud and creeks. Great product. Will defintly repurchase next year. Runs true to size. April 8, 2013

I have read countless books on recovering from chronic pain and almost all of them identify the need to adopt mindfulness, to take up yoga, to meditate. To relax and release stressed muscles. I have read and read and still found myself wondering: but how? It's so obvious yet it has become like the holy grail for me. This technique may just have the answer (I don't want to jinx it). I don't know, but I see that sometimes we need fellow humans to point the direction, to teach. It makes me realise how much there is to learn from others. We, in isolation, do not know it all - no matter how many ways we think around a topic. Solitude is not always an enabler.
I do wonder, why is it that some people must bring others down? Surely life is too short..?
This is my last week of my sabbatical. I will write more about how life-changing it has been for me in another post. But for now - suffice to say - it has rocked my world. Happy days.

Blame for the sequestration
Marty Graner, Minot
This letter is to address Cody Stanley of Grand Forks' note blaming the Republicans for the sequestration. Look back, Cody, and you will find that Mr. Obama was the person who pushed the sequestration.
Also the idea that we are not taking care of the poor in our state is not correct. As a social worker, I take issue with all rules and regulations that prevented me from enhancing and enabling people from becoming independent. When I worked in the welfare field my success was more than 92 percent. The poor were taken care of for all their basic needs. My job as a social worker was to get them off the rolls. As Jesus said, not only are we to take care of their basic needs but teach them how to provide for themselves.
The government rules and regulations hinder the goals of so many programs that could be very good. The Head Start program can be a good program, however the government tells you all the things you can do and can't do. Again rules prevent the staffs from being better at teaching as they spent more time complying to regulations. Many of the Head Start staffs have told me that they hinder from teaching part as they must comply with very set guidelines. These same people (staff) have said they would like to get more parental involvement, but they are regulated by what they can do and can't.
Every situation is different and flexibility is needed and much creativeness by those helping to improve the lives of the low to poor people. Money is not the answer, priority and creative behaviors will do more to enhance people's lives.

Davenport University, located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, was founded in 1866 by Conrad G. Swensburg, a union veteran of the civil war. The school was known as the Grand Rapids Business College, but went through a number of name and located changes over the next five decades. By 1910 the school was set to close its doors due to waning interest and financial difficulty, and saved through the efforts of a new teacher by the name of Michael E. Davenport. Mr. Davenport rounded up the remaining members of faculty, managed to keep the school open, and over nearly three decades operated the school as president and oversaw a turnaround of the schools educational offerings. Since that time the school has several presidents, each contributing to the expansion and refinement of the schools offers. In the late 1970's the school became a university, and began offering a number of bachelor degree programs in the 1980's, and master degree programs in the 1990's.

Maximizing response rates in survey research: Issues and methods
Collecting accurate data is a challenge for researchers, and securing sufficient response rates can be especially difficult, particularly when asking respondents to reveal sensitive information. This paper will review the relevant literature and illustrate the issues by reporting the methodes used to collect data for Work and Well Being: A Study of North Carolina Social Workers. By following a rigorous protocol, the study achieved a 75% response rate (N=751), a sample that was representative of the population, and minimal response bias. The results highlight the ways in which social work researchers can explore difficult substantive arenas and yet achieve an excellent response.

Reviews of this property
Nice little apartment, lovely terrace. The beds were a bit hard.
Trevlig liten lägenhet, härlig terass. Sängarna var dock lite hårda.
Nice and clean apartment. Well located but a bit noicy from the traffic. The kitchen equipment needs to be upgraded
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very clean appartment. The street outside is at bit busy and noisy. Nice terrace and very helpful staff. Close to a free parking.
Excellent apartment! For questions e / o problems we could have a app. send Miguel, which he then very quickly responded. Very nice young man who speaks little to no English, but gave in very quiet Spanish explanations which we-with our limited knowledge of Spanish- could understand each other!
Prima appartement! Bij vragen e/o problemen konden we een app. sturen naar Miguel, waarop hij dan heel vlot reageerde. Hele aardige jongeman, die weinig tot geen Engels spreekt, maar in heel rustig Spaans uitleg gaf waardoor wij -met onze beperkte kennis van het Spaans- elkaar goed konden begrijpen!
The stay was very good. The place is perfect for people who love freedom - own cooking and laundry facilities, nice, spacious bathroom The flat is extremely clean and fresh, the roof tarace massive and very sunny, good to relax. The location is very good - the big store opposite, the beach about 15 minutes away, the bus stop just round the corner. The manager - Miguel is very friendly, flexible and co-operative, responds quickly to your needs.
We will definitely come back.
The apartment was neat and clean, actually very functional.
Around the corner at the bus station, very handy!
We requested a quiet apartment, that was very, very quiet .... No view and very dark because there was little daylight inside.
More fun it is to book one of the apartments "b" (room at the street, and bedroom quiet), or else "a" (both room to the street)
Het appartement was netjes en schoon, eigenlijk heel functioneel.
Om de hoek bij het busstation, heel handig!
Wij hadden een rustig appartement gevraagd, dat was wel héél erg rustig.... Geen uitzicht, en erg donker omdat er weinig daglicht binnenkwam.
Leuker is het om een van de appartementen "b"te boeken (kamer aan straatkant, en slaapkamer rustig), of anders "a" (beide kamer aan de straat)
Very simple apartment. Clean and tidy! Suitable only for a short stay.
Values Miguel very good and obliging!
Mycket enkel lägenhet. Rent och snyggt! Lämplig endast för en kortare vistelse.
Värden Miguel mycket bra och tjänstvillig!
Thank you Miguel - we lived staying in the villa in the hills above nerja
The location was beautiful and tranquil - the locals were so friendly and helpful
We will be in touch if and when we return
Fond regards - Sunshine, Ned & Indiana
We really had à nice time in Nerja. The appartment was muy bien!
Thank you for such a good care!

Eliminate gifted tracks in New York City, argue Halley Potter of the Century Foundation and David Tipson of New York Appleseed in the New York Times Room for Debate blog.
Seventy percent of the city's gifted and talented (G&T) kindergarteners are white and Asian, while 70 percent of students are black and Latino, they write.
"Segregation" harms the education of low-income students. they argue. "At the same time, affluent white and Asian students in the city's separate G&T classrooms are also denied the cognitive and social benefits that socioeconomically and racially diverse classrooms offer."
Gifted children won't "be fine" in mixed-ability classes, responds Rick Hess.
. . . we're putting much at risk when we simply hope that overburdened classroom teachers can provide the teaching and learning that gifted children need. Anyone who has watched a teacher labor to "differentiate" instruction in a classroom that encompasses both math prodigies and English language learners knows it's unreasonable to expect most teachers to do this well.
Students do best in classrooms with students of similar ability, researcher Bruce Sacerdote writes. "We know from data, from theory and, most important, from decades of experience that ability grouping or tracking can have a big payoff. . . . High-ability students benefit the most from high-ability peers."
