Skip to comments.Want To Tell The State To Stick It? Homeschool Your Kids.
Posted on 01/22/2013 9:53:44 AM PST by billflax
"This notion that the children belong to the state, that their education must be provided for by the state is inimical at every step to liberty. J. Gresham Machen
The swelling legions of homeschoolers poke a subtle rebuke at Americas ever expanding nanny state. Under both parties, Washington has systematically invaded private spheres and co-opted public services historically performed by local bodies. But a spontaneous groundswell of freedom minded folks has continued Americas rich inheritance of rugged individualism.
The God-fearing, flag-waiving, gun-toting homeschool crowd embodies the American spirit of mutual self-reliance. You wont encounter a more neighborly bunch. Their children thrive without government help. Their support networks blossom sans the states sanction. Meanwhile, taxpayers waste a fortune securing abysmal academic results. In 2012, SAT scores fell to their lowest level since tracking began. As spending soars, assessment scores plummet.
The modern homeschool movement comes largely by Christians aghast over an academic establishment overrun by progressives. Schools long ago became laboratories for instilling statism and distilling politically correct groupthink. Values clarification anyone? With public education increasingly geared toward multicultural agitation against Americas godly heritage, many parents resolved to safeguard the hearts, souls and minds of their young.

Too bad we can't opt-out of the property taxes which go mostly to the publik schools.
I don't see any of the members of the FRTU here yet. But it's still early.
One big advantage of homeschooling is the ability of a child to really focus on an activity and expand their expertise. This can be quite attractive to any number of Ivy league schools.
A very good friend of my daughter discovered she LOVED languages. In her Sophomore year, she transitioned to home schooling to allow her to really concentrate on languages not offered at any public school. She became proficient in about 4 and gained a working knowledge in several others.
Full ride to Yale.
I STRONGLY disagree... It's not subtle at all.
Probably this is reason no. 1 why my wife and I chose to homeschool.
I wonder how long before they try to ban home schools?
I think home schoolers should get property tax exemptions
Great post.
Never been around a nicer bunch of people. Of course, there are loons - but they are few and far between. Although you wouldn't know it going by the lame-stream media.
and at Yale she got liberal indoctrination probably
We did get in early to defend you all against the MSM over the shooting incident yesterday.
First: all parents homeschool until they turn their child over to progressive professionals for indoctrination into leftist society. You may not think your sweet 1st grade teacher intends on doing that but she must use materials approved by the State, have a lesson plan that complies with State standards, and must bring your child along in the topics that matter to the committee of elites who grant both her and her school credentials.
My wife and I homeschooled and our goal was always to give our children an adequate basis of morality and character so they could successfully resist the indoctrination of others with their own agendas. In this we were successful.
Second: Homeschooling is not for every parent and it is not necessarily for the entire 13 years. My wife and I homeschooled for 10 years until the subject matter became too demanding. But when we consulted with the local public school district, upon their own evaluation they wanted to place our daughter fully two grades ahead of her age peers.
What does this say about the norms of public school performance? When an entire education system debilitates children by about two years, after they graduate this deficiency continues and affects job performance and citizenship. America is being dumbed down so educrats can give themselves high marks for barely meeting their own lowered standards.
One advantage to home schooling is that the parents get to revisit topics they had long neglected. Nothing reinforces knowledge like having to teach it again!
The first question I got about homeschooling while we were active in it was "what about socialization"?
This question always puzzled me. If parents don't move during the years their child attends public school, that child stays in the same age cohort for a dozen years. Talk about socialization! Their child spends more time with those children than with any other group, so of course group and peer pressure becomes significant in shaping child character and morality.
In my experience, children who are homeschooled interact with such a wide variety of people that the people they consider their "peers" have a far wider rage of ages and backgrounds. In my daughters case, when she got to be older, some of her "peers" were even the parents of other homeschool children with whom she interacted as we shared field trips and specialized lessons with.
If at all possible, home school your children for as long as you can. But of course each child is different as is each parent's abilities and circumstances.
We've been telling the State to stick it for 18 years. Two down, two to go.
I think home schoolers should get property tax exemptions
But what about taxpayers with no children ?
I would not be surprised if homeschooling is in the gun sights of this administration.
good question.
No kids doesn't mean will never have or never had them though.
Vouchers will just have the government putting their crap into private schools sooner or later.
It's been in the gunsights since Clinton, when he tried to force the certification of "all teachers." We shut down the congressional switchboard, and that was the end of that.
Most people think the movement is now too big, with homeschoolers numbering an estimated 2 million children. But I expect an assault before the regime ends, particularly if the commies take the House.
I'm waiting for one of our well educated homeschooled kids to grow up and get into politics, and make mincemeat out of some public skooled jerk on the stump.
Homeschooling is awesome, but I'm hoping one day it pays big ...i've always said that one day our homeschooled youngsters will be the ones to save us.
Homeschooled my own for a collective total of 6 years ... wouldn't have traded that time for anything.
We homeschooled and never regretted it. Our daughter is about to graduate college in May with conservative principles intact and her faith in the Lord as strong as ever.
We're trying to get ours into a Montessori school.
Anyone here in GA interested in proving their support for vouchers by redirecting their state tax money to this school? (and getting a federal tax break in the process!) See http://PayItForwardScholarships.com ... if we can't get enough redirected to this $-for-$ donation, public school may be the only choice. FReepmail me if interested.
In the last few decades sending your child to government indoctrination centers, if you had any other options, is tantamount to child abuse and neglect.
If any of us are foolish enough to believe we can out vote a population that spent K-12 being spoon fed liberal garbage and then possibly going on to higher learning with institutions packed to the rafters with self avowed socialists and communists, you are insane.
If this country is EVER to be placed back on the brilliant track set forth by the Founders, then we will, at bare minimum have to spend the same number of decades teaching our youth reality and truth not liberal lies which only serve to hide liberal failures.
IMO, without an all out effort to destroy the public school system by removing our children from their clutches, this country is forever lost. We certainly will not have the equipment for a Thomas Jefferson moment as government is making sure they infringe on the 2nd Amendment. And they have evisceration the 4th and 5th and in conjunction with mudslimes will eviscerate the 1st Amendment.
The irony is that aiming for the former will often result in the latter.
Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in moralityand in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated.It terrifies me that so many conservatives believe in compulsory schooling, even after having attended.
Count Leo Tolstoy, "Education and Children" (1862)
Assuming is never good. She is a missionary in one of the Balkan states for her church. Assembly of God demonination.
I live my life without regrets or worrying what small-minded keyboard kommandos think or don't think about me.
What does FRTU stand for?
This regime does not care about numbers. He is going after the NRA which has an estimated membership of around 4 million.
He has voted against vouchers and ended the program in D.C. that allowed lower income children to attend private schools. What makes you think that he doesn't already have something in the works?
Like Glenn Beck says: Watch what the left hand is doing.
Free Republic Teacher's Union. Any title with "homeschooling" draws their attention like thrown bread brings seagulls.
My wife attended and graduated Yale. She arrived as one who was a "progressive" antiwar, fallen away Christian, anti-everything worthwhile. By the time she was a sophomore, she was a committed conservative and by graduation was ready to be received into the Catholic Faith. Today she is more conservative than I am. Needless to say, she was not converted by her professors. Instead, the influences that made the difference were her own native intelligence and the presence in the Yale student body of a substantial number of knowledgeable and principled conservatives, eager to reach out to other students and persuade them.
The young lady you have referenced should seek out the Party of the Right of the Yale Political Union where she will find conservatives ranging from atheist libertarians and Randians to religious conservatives of various persuasions who are united in opposition to the Yale left. The POR gets together for debates and socializing about once a week and provides an education that often exceeds the more formal education at Yale.
As you may recall, my wife homeschooled our elder children and then has been teaching many subjects at a parent-controlled private Catholic K-12 academy which may graduate its first Ivy Leaguer (Harvard) this year.
I also know that Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth, at least, each have their own conservative "undergrounds" often catering to hard-core Catholics but also quite open to participation by others from atheists to Fundamentalists. A student with religious commitment and/or conservative commitment is likely to hone his/her polemical skills in debate with non-believers or other sorts of believers and come away with even deeper commitment.
At Yale and probably the other Ivies, conservative or seriously religious undergraduates resist the zeitgeist and display effective contempt for profs and instructors who try to indoctrinate them to the left. The real killing fields at the Ivies are the faculties where few conservatives survive. Nonetheless, Professor Donald Kagan, Yale's truly conservative and most conservative professor (Ancient History) and himself a member of the Party of the Right, was chosen to be Dean of Yale College in relatively recent years. He had also served for a while as Athletic Director. My suburban Republican Town Committee had Professor Kagan as a Lincoln Day Dinner Speaker on the subject of how Ronald Reagan's candidacy for POTUS converted previously lifelong socialist Donald Kagan into a political right-winger.
HS'd two..from K thru 12...Back in 89 to 05..I guess.
They are both great kids.
Thank you, I don't read many of the homeschooling threads.
Free Republic Teachers Union
not a member of a teacher's union - never have been, never will be
Hey BlackElk
I havent' had contact with this young lady for probably 2 years. But at a Christmas party in I think '10, she told me I would be surprised at the number of conservative groups at Yale.
She's a great young lady and doing good work in a tough area.
I don't know what a count is, and I didn't know that he was, but apparently he was.
In Western European tradition, a "count" is a fairly important hereditary nobleman. England calls them "Earls," and in the high middle ages they were the highest level of rural, landowning, war-fighting nobility.
In Russia, practically every ethnic Russian who wasn't a dirt-grubbing peasant was hereditary nobility. There was no unity of titles, as we see in England, where there is only one Earl of Lincoln, and he holds the title until his death, whereupon only one heir because the new Earl. In Russia, all the children of a Prince are princes/princesses, to the Nth generation. All the children of a count are counts/countesses. The place was just swarming with titled hordes of people who couldn't hold a real job because of their status, but maybe couldn't feed themselves, either. Good for novels ;-).
Lev Tolstoy's title means he had a landed estate (on which he perpetrated many agricultural and social experiments) but he really wasn't much of anybody, until his success as a writer.
It ignores the simple economic principle of the division of labor and indicates a breakdown in social trust.
It's too bad many of us have no other choice.
"Free Republic Teachers Union" for real? I've been a freeper for a while, how did I miss them.
You didn't miss anything, no such "group" exists. It is a derogatory reference to anyone that may either have a connection with pubic schools or doesn't always agree with the idea that home schooling is the only way children should be educated.
How is that "derogatory"?
That is a damn shame...
I am privileged to be paying property taxes in two states, roughly the same amount in each state. Aren't I the lucky one?
P.S. I have no children, hence no grandchildren in school. I get to pay for the schooling of other people's children.
If parents do it right and the children are smart, they can homeschool Harvard bound children.
My son moved through material at lighting speed once he got hold of himself and became focused and engaged in learning. Homeschool is designed to go slow or fast - it depends on a child's ability and engagement. I am alright at math, but I decided to bring in a Harvard student to do advanced math with him a couple of times each week for a year in eighth grade. He did practical lessons on his own with me and his dad each day between tutoring sessions. It was like they were playing math more than anything. My son seriously benifited from that encounter. What a gift and it was not all that costly to us.
We may have ruined the Harvard guy because he realized his gift of teaching and was thinking about going into education. I advised him to get and day job in the career he planned and homeschool his own children in math. There is no comparison between teaching an intellegent and engaged homeschool student and "teaching" in public herdschool. When I told my husband, he called him up and to him to knock it off. Idealism does not compute in the long run.
If economic efficiency was the only criteria, given my opportunity costs, it is less expensive for me to hire a high school student to educate my child than for me do do it myself.
But speaking of efficiency, while in theory we should let professionals handle this, in some urban school districts it costs IN EXCESS OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS to graduate a single child who is competent at their grade level in all required subjects.
The goal of our family effort was first to convey godly values to our child and to help them to develop the character that would serve them well in life. Secondarily was book knowledge. The former was a parental obligation that cannot be subcontracted out, especially to people who as a self-selected profession are hostile to godly values. [see 1]

My children were home schooled; my grandchildren are/will be (one has for two years, the other is joining the ranks next year).
And no, you are not paying for any 'schooling' you/me are paying for 'indoctrination' and I have an issue with blood pressure so I will leave it at that!

Thanks to everyone from St. Thomas--The Hatting was truly a great tournament for everyone from Macalester. We thank all of you for your hard work, and look forward to attending again next year.
Again, thanks for putting on a wonderful tournament.
(Also, it was great to see Daniel and Laura again--best of luck to them in law school.)
I want to add my thanks to the organizers of the Hatting Invitational. You never know how well an invitational will go in its first year. So far as I know, St. Thomas had not hosted a tournament of any type since I started in AMTA back in 2000.
I was amazed at how well this tournament was run. The challenge format was a fun way to start the festivities. The rounds ran nearly precisely on time. Those running the tournament were extremely friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Pairings were announced in a timely fashion, and the tab room as quite accessible. If I didn't know otherwise, I might well have thought that UST ran an invitational every year.
I also wanted to comment on the facilities. The UST Law School is a very new school, and the building is spectacular. It puts the building at my law school alma matter Minnesota to shame. The classrooms were of ample size, and the moot courtroom, where one of my teams was able to compete twice, was amazing. The acoustics in that room made things really fun. I've heard good things about UST Law in terms of building a strong faculty very quickly; I won't be surprised to see that school quickly become more prominent in the law school world.
I also look forward to competing again at this tournament next year. My teams and I very much enjoyed ourselves, and we hope the organizers will have us back.
On a personal note, I also enjoyed seeing Laura and Daniel. I'm sure Daniel is already dominating at UVA Law, and Laura will soon follow.

Wow. I have to give big props to the ND people on the awards list. All three are first year college mockers. Way to go, guys.
Wayne, let's run away!!
I'll echo that it was a well run tournament. The facility was nice and there were three lawyers judging nearly every round. They never needed me to judge which was wonderful because I got to watch 4 Mac rounds and meet all the promising young talent.
The "security system" was funny.
On that young talent, all I have to say is "................holy @&*^"
Congrats to all the guys who got awards. Having all awards from Mac go to guys has gotta be a first. I didn't see the Chris or Paul on the side they got awards but I've seen them many times so I'm not surprised. I'm actually surprised Riley didn't get one on both sides but it must've been close. Herschel, you've come a long way. I figured you for one after that opening. I'd imagine there were a number of near misses from Mac as well. Everyone is in a good place and everyone knows what they need to do before regionals.
If you send 2 teams to gold, I'll figure out a way to get there.
But you look too young to be a lawyer.

Small nit to pick - 927's CS was 12, not 2.
Besides that, it was a great experience, and as a note to Rain King, nearly all of the ND participants were first year mockers, and for many this was their first competition as well...

I am. I'm a first-year sophomore on 927. Mainly a lurker - I put last year's case/rules in ipod format...
I'm curious as to whether anyone has an electronic version of the tab summary, as I haven't seen one on the AMTA site.

Thanks very much for doing that! I greatly appreciate it. Allow me to modestly express my thanks with a karma boost.

Saturday of Publican and Pharisee
The Gospel according to Luke 18:2-8
The Lord said this parable, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man; and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Vindicate me against my adversary.' For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'" And the Lord said, "Hear, what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily."

Shen Min
Shen MIN Advanced Formula for Women
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Shen Min uses the only standardized root in the industry
- Each tablet contains 150 mg of 12:1 extract with 435 mg of raw herb
- Contains bioperine, a black pepper extract proven to help increase absorption and utilization of nutrients
- No binder or fillers are used
- Considered a natural alternative to Minoxidil and is 100% safe
- About the brand
Shen Min is a 100% natural hair nutrient derived from the eastern wild rose, best known for its ability to stimulate hair growth and restore graying hair to its original color. While the exact mechanism is still unknown, Shen Min extends the growth phase of the hair follicle, thus reducing the number of hairs in the resting phase and fall out phase. The net effect is a greater number of hairs growing and fewer falling out. Shen Min also blocks DHT from binding to the follicle. DHT is a leading cause of thinning hair because it deactivates hair by binding to the follicle.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystaline Cellulose, Croscamellose Sodium, StearicAcid, Magnesium Stearate, Pharmaceutical Glaze.
Take one tablet two times daily, or as directed. One in the morning and one in the evening, without food.
Shen Min hair loss supplements revitalize your follicles promoting healthy hair growth. Shen Min's exclusive formula combines a mixture of natural ingredients including the herb Chinese knotweed, horse chestnut extract, silica, biotin and saw palmetto to maximize your hair's potential.
Numbed My Left LegThis product is good for what it says it does. It stopped my hair from falling even though I only took it for 2 weeks. I dont know if my hair would grow back with this. I had hair loss since I was 19 from burning my scalp with bleach while letting a girl try to make me a blonde, to it falling from diabetes. But I will say this, my left leg started to go numb every time I took this vitamin. It would go numb, it would hurt badly on my ankle. I stopped using it today and thank God the pain went away. Although I would love to keep taking it for my hair to grow, the best thing for me to do is pray to God, hes more powerful then any vitamin I can take. Good luck to all the women with hair problems out there, ask your doctor before using anything, and God bless you all!Apr 23, 2009Nancy / NJ

Healthy Hair And NailsI started using Shen Min about two weeks ago. I noticed already that my hair is getting thicker and has seemed to grow a little bit already. My nails grow long anyways, (but since Ive started taking this product they harder and grown much more longer.) I also take vitamin E and flaxseed, along with a multi vitamin. Yes I have energy!! I went to my hairdresser today and she has noticed an improvement. I personally think that this is a good product. However for other people that it hasnt worked for it may be something wrong. I do know that in time the results will be plentiful. My texture has changed to wire like. Yes I am a black woman. So the results may differ.Mar 27, 2009Tracy / Grand Rapids Michigan

This Is A Great ProductI am a 29 year old female that was the victim of hair extensions gone bad.. I had great length extensions in my hair for 4 months that left me with small bald spots above my ears on both sides. The extensions really did a number on my hair in general, leaving it very thinned out. I started taking shen min about a month ago and have already noticed results. My hair is already growing back in the bald areas, and my hair seems thicker. It does take a few weeks for it to start working... but it really does. I would recommend this priduct to anyone with thinning hair or even bald patches.Mar 17, 2009Anonymous / Shelby Twp MI

This Product Really Does WorkI started using Shen Min about 4 months ago and after about two weeks of taking it I noticed less shedding, some growth, and thicker looking hair. After 4 months it is still about the same. My hair has not grown to the floor but I do notice a couple of inches that were not there before and am pleased with the results so far. I am not one to take products for hair to promote faster growth but I think Shen Min lives up to its name. The key to longer hair I have found is drinking lots of water everyday, taking your Shen Min twice a day with a meal, eating healthy foods, exercising when you have the time twice a week and making sure that you maintain your hair in whatever way works for you. In the meantime, I am sticking with Shen Min:)Oct 1, 2008Hope A Addison / Baltimore, MD

Restored Hair ColorI am at least as skeptical as other people when it comes to taking something for almost anything, even when my doctor prescribes them. However, being a believer in preventive health measures, I have been taking vitamins for several years now on a regular basis. When my hair began to gray, I just used some color on it. When my hair began to thin after I hit "the age," I started to look around for root (pun intended) causes.I tried various things before my local vitamin store suggested I take Fo-Ti which is also known as He Shou Wu. After my first bottle, she suggested that I might want to take something for my nails as they seemed more prone to chipping and breaking (since my last birthday) so I switched to Shen Min hair, skin and nails formula. That was two months ago.When I went to the salon yesterday, Carol asked me if I was dyeing my own hair. I told her that I wasnt and asked her why. She said that my hair was now much darker brown than it had been the previous month. When she examined it more closely, she also told me that I was getting new hair growth in areas which were thinning.I wont tell you that it erased all of my gray after 3 months, but my hairdresser cant be fooled. When I told her about what I was taking she laughed and said that she was going to be out $65 for my dye work. That was a pretty good feeling because she can see more of it than I can.The only reason I dont give this product 5 stars is because I want to be sure it will continue to work. However, it is coming in my original color at my temples and filling in well in the back. It has definitely become thicker, thought not dramatically so. I didnt expect any more because I have always had thin hair.I cannot comment on others who have had no luck with this product. Some things work for some and not others. I believe stress and vitamins and minerals play a big part. In my final evaluation, I spent about the same as it would have cost to have my hair dyed, but I can tell you which one feels better to me. It just takes some time and consistency to see the results.May 2, 2008Rhonda / Clearwater, Florida

Stops Hairloss In Its TracksI have used Shen Min Adv formula for women and let me tell you, it works to stop hairloss after 3 to 4 weeks time (you will notice the difference on your hands and in the drain~almost no shedding with in a month). It does also thicken your hair. I tried other less expensive products and I am going back to Shen Min Adv. Formula~my hair was definitely healthier when taking daily. I wish it got rid of the grey for me but I will settle for thicker hair. Buy 3 mos. supply and you will see a difference.Oct 2, 2007Leah / Ohio

Grey HairIve been using this supplement for almost a month now. I havent seen much noticeable changes but understand it takes 3 months for anything to occur. The pills are rather big and hard to struggle. Hopefully, it will be worth the money and effort.Sep 25, 2007Jamela / Belleville, IL

The CM17a is stupid because your PC must always be on to run a x10 command at a certain time.
Do you have CM17a that will turn x10 devices on and off on its own? It stores the x10 commands that are executed at a particular time daily/weekly without another controller? If so, tell me how... Do you know what CP290 is?

Sugar Shack/Buddy's Buddy, CD (£11.50)
During the late 50s and early 60s, Norman Petty and his small NorVaJak recording studio were riding the wave of success. What is amazing is the fact that Petty's studio was located in Clovis, New Mexico - not exactly New York or Los Angeles! Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs were one of Petty's more successful recording artists AND one of the very few groups in rock'n'roll history to chart both instrumental and vocal hits onto the Billboard Top 100. Jimmy Gilmer and George Tomsco's Fireballs did not actually unite until 1960. It was Petty's decision to eventually market the Fireballs to record companies as Jimmy Gilmer &The Fireballs, since he'd had previous success marketing the Crickets also as Buddy Holly & The Crickets. Prior to that, Gilmer had made several trips to Petty's studio from his hometown Amarillo, Texas, with musician friend, Gary Swafford, Jimmy's first single, released under his own name on Decca Records, failed to chart, but Norman Petty saw potential in Gilmer and encouraged him to come back and record. In August of 1958, George Tomsco and his group, the Fireballs, set up their recording session at Petty's studio. The band's first 45 was an instrumental on one side and a vocal on the other. As in the case of Jimmy Gilmer, Petty heard something special in Tomsco's band, too. More Fireballs sessions were planned for April 1959. It was during their second session that the Fireballs first hit record would be recorded. The song...Torquay. Norman Petty employed the Fireballs as session musicians for one of Gilmer's follow-up 45s on the Warwick label titled Good Good Lovin', and backed with Do You Think. It was during these sessions that the foundation was laid for Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs. In August 1960, Chuck Tharp, the Fireballs' original lead singer and rhythm guitarist, decided to quit the band to pursue other interests. The stage was now set. Petty presented the idea to Tomsco about having Gilmer join the band. Within weeks, Jimmy Gilmer was playing rhythm guitar for the Fireballs and touring in Canada. During 1960- 61, the Fireballs enjoyed moderate success with hit instrumentals on both Top Rank and Warwick Records. In 1962, Norman Petty signed the group to Randy Wood's Dot label. From that point on, Jimmy Gilmer, George Tomsco, Stan Lark and Doug Roberts would climb the ladder to stardom! 1963 was a banner year for the boys as their song, Sugar Shack, hit the top of the charts and stayed there for five weeks! Sugar Shack went on to become the biggest selling record of 1963 in the United States. This Ace release features two albums on one CD. The first is the original SUGAR SHACK album as it was released in late 1963. All tracks are in the same running order as they were back then. The second album featured here, Buddy's Buddy, was originally released in 1964. It is a cover album of Buddy Holly songs. It was Petty's idea to have the boys record this material. For whatever reason, the original album did not fare well in the marketplace, but is now the group's most sought-after release. The best thing about this CD is the fact that it's produced from the original Norman Petty master tapes. You'll hear what a talented group they were and experience the expertise of Petty as a recording engineer.

My house is about 12 years old and over the past 6 weeks a strong septic odor has developed in the basement following drainage of large volumes of water (i.e. laundry, bathtub). There are no drainage problems, just the odor in the basement. We have capped an old drain for water softner. Can you help us determine cause of the odor and how to eliminate it.

Best wishes,
Sorry, Sherubtse ... I cannot do it. I purchased equal amounts of both and am working on paper thin margin.
If you find someone who is willing to partner with you, then I can ship it to both of you or to one of you. Shipping to both of you would be a bit more costly, of course.

Success rarely happens without parent support. She encouraged the scholars to become leaders and develop the skills they will need to lead. "Understand your reality. The world is going through a tough time right now. Understand your community's reality. The challenges are up to you to solve. Know your weaknesses and strengths. The world is a good and wonderful place. Think positive. Don't get mired down in negative thinking. Develop your capacity. Maintain and develop your health, physical, mental and emotional; stay active and exercise. Develop your raw skills, write and develop your thinking skills, problem solving and math skills.

Editor's note: This story was originally published on Sept. 6, 2012.
CHARLOTTE -- The last act at the 2012 Democratic National Convention belongs to President Obama, as he takes the stage for remarks that will define the two-month sprint to Election Day.
USA TODAY is providing full coverage of the convention's closing day and the 2012presidential election online and in print. Check your local TV listings for when you can tune in.
Here's our guide to the five things to watch for Thursday, Sept. 6:
1) President Obama told USA TODAY that Republicans have been advancing a story of a "fictional Barack Obama." Now, he has the chance to define himself in his own words and explain how he'll make progress on the economy in a second term. Contrasts are inevitable, but will Obama also tear down rivalMitt Romney as many of the Democratic faithful did this week?
2) Obama is only one-half of the Democratic ticket. Vice President Biden also delivers his acceptance speech tonight, but probably before the major TV networks start airing their coverage. Biden has made some missteps in recent weeks that Republicans have jumped on, so his remarks tonight give him a chance for redemption -- and maybe spark some thoughts about another White House race in 2016.
3) Sen. John Kerry's assignment tonight is to burnish Obama's bona fides as a leader on foreign policy. But some political observers wonder if the Massachusetts senator might also be auditioning for secretary of State in a second Obama administration, since Hillary Rodham Clinton has said she does not want to return as the nation's top diplomat.
4) As governor of Florida, Charlie Crist rankled his fellow Republicans when he hugged a newly elected President Obama in 2009 as they touted an economic stimulus program many in the GOP opposed. Now an independent, Crist is said to be eyeing a return to elected office and is ready to go all-out for Obama.
5) As soon as Obama, Biden and their families wave to the crowd after all the speechifying, the focus will shift to preparations for the first of three presidential debates. Expect themes about the economy and job creation on display tonight to emerge again when Obama and Romney face off on Oct. 3 at the University of Denver.

The Triennial Review is one of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) management tools for examining grantee performance and adherence to current FTA requirements and policies. Mandated by Congress in 1982, the Triennial Review occurs once every three years. It examines how recipients of Urbanized Area Formula Program funds meet statutory and administrative requirements. The review currently examines 17 areas. In addition to helping evaluate grantees, the review gives FTA an opportunity to provide technical assistance on FTA requirements and aids FTA in reporting to the Secretary, Congress, other oversight agencies, and the transit community on the Urbanized Area Formula Program.
To assist grantees in preparing for the triennial review, FTA conducts workshops, provides training materials, procedural guides, and other supporting materials. One useful resource for grantees can be found in the Triennial Review Workshop Workbooks shown below.

MARANELLO, Italy -- Ferrari has unveiled the car that it hopes will end a run of four years without a Formula One title.
The car's name -- F138 -- is a combination of the year and a tribute to the V8 engines which will be used for the last time this season, bringing an end to an eight-year run.
The car features an open nose and a slightly different body and tail from last year's F2012. It will be the 59th Ferrari single-seater to compete in F1.
"This is a starting point for a year with only one goal: To add to our wonderful history," Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali said Friday.
Ferrari last won the constructors' title in 2008 with Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa, while Raikkonen won the team's last drivers' title in 2007.
Ferrari has won a record 16 constructors titles.
Force India also launched its car, with Paul Di Resta pulling the covers off the VJM06 at the Silverstone circuit.
This season begins with the Australian Grand Prix on March 17, while testing starts in Jerez, Spain, next week.
"This is just the first step of a car that could already look different in Australia," Domenicali said.
"The goal is to have a competitive car right away," Domenicali added. "Unfortunately last year we struggled during the winter and we weren't competitive right away. We're trying to be much more efficient in preparation now, to have a car capable of exalting our drivers already in Australia."
Last season, Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso finished second to Red Bull rival Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' championship and Massa was seventh.
Ferrari was also second to Red Bull in the constructors' standings in 2012.
"We're coming off an intense season," Domenicali said. "Finishing second was difficult emotionally. It left us with a bitter taste in our mouths."
Alonso noted that new rules could make it difficult for a repeat of last season, when seven different drivers won the opening seven races.
"I think it will be just two or three teams that will win, and I hope we will be one of those," Alonso said.
Alonso will sit out the opening tests in Jerez to work on physical training. Recently recruited test driver Pedro de la Rosa will try out the new car instead, along with Massa.
"We're such a great team that it doesn't matter who does the tests, whether it's Felipe, Pedro or I, it doesn't make much of a difference," Alonso said. "I will follow everything very closely."
In October, Ferrari extended Massa's contract for one more season. While the Brazilian hasn't won a race since a life-threatening accident at the Hungarian GP in 2009, he had a solid second half to last season, and finished third in the year-ending Brazilian GP.
"I want to be competitive from start to finish this year, not just for half of the season," Massa said.
The Force India car is the third overseen by the team's Technical Director Andrew Green, who said it is "brand new from the ground up" with the most obvious change the removal of the 'step' nose.
"The VJM06 doesn't look massively different to its predecessor, but beneath the skin we've looked at every detail to try and find more performance," Team Principal Vijay Mallya said. "I've followed the development of the car closely and I'm proud of what we have achieved. The objective now is to make sure we build on the promise of last year and have a strong start to the season."
The team, which finished seventh in the constructors championship, didn't win a race but had four top-five finishes from Di Resta and his fellow driver Nico Hulkenberg.
"Seeing the car built and complete for the first time is a special feeling," Di Resta said. "I've followed its progress in the tunnel and it looks very impressive - aggressive and fast. Now I'm just eager to get out there and see where we stand compared to our competitors."
