A few weeks ago I came across Amy McCready's new book "If I Have to Tell You One More Time" and was intrigued. The subtitle of her book is actually: The Revolutionary Program That Gets Your Kids To Listen Without Nagging, Reminding Or Yelling"! But don't let that subtitle fool you, what this book is also about is how connect to your children in a deep, meaningful way and how to speak and react to them so that you are bringing out the best in your children.
|Amy McCready is also the founder
of Positive Parenting Solutions
Right off the bat, I loved Amy's style and could totally relate. She freely admits to her imperfections as a parent, but also makes it clear that she didn't want things to continue the way they were going. She knew things were not going as well as they should and she set out to change those dynamics.
The book begins with an explanation of why many of our tried and true methods like Time Outs or 1-2-3 counting just don't work for the long haul. But she doesn't just tell us what not to do, she gives excellent, doable suggestions in a step by step plan for changing the way we interact with our children.
Best of all, Amy McCready explains the psychological needs behind our children's behaviors, helps parents define their parenting style (thank you - I now have proof that I am controlling) so we can recognize how our own behaviors could be making things worse, and shows us concrete ways to bring out the best in our children and ourselves.
|No one wins in a power struggle with a child.
One area I struggle with that I haven't written about is my daughter's obsession with food. She continues to ask for food, even when I know she can't possibly be hungry anymore. In addition to arguing about her wanting to eat, we would get into battles about how food was placed on the plate, how it was cooked, what I was offering and on and on and on. I have tried everything from saying yes to every request, to setting up meal "rules", all while trying not to make food an issue for her! As a result, what has happened is that she and I have a power struggle around food on a daily basis much to my chagrin. And really, I knew deep down it wasn't about the food, but I just didn't know how to tackle the issue. I really didn't think anything in Amy's book was going to help me with this problem, but boy was I surprised.
|A child's primary goal is to achieve
belonging and significance
"Your child doesn't even know it, but she's on a mission to achieve the feelings of belonging and significance she longs for. Misbehavior isn't the actual problem, it's just a symptom of a deeper issue. If we address it, the misbehavior will disappear and our children will get what they need in a more positive way".
|When he acts helpless it is often
a misguided attempt to get more attention.
While the change in my interactions with our daughter may be the most obvious, I can see, too how it is changing my relationship with my son. His way of trying to get attention generally manifests itself in acting helpless or becoming overly frustrated by things he's perfectly capable of doing. Because I get drawn into intermittent reinforcement of this behavior, it's only gotten worse. In the past week I've been applying some of this book's methods to understand the reasons behind the behavior so that I am, instead, encouraging his independence.
What Makes This book So Good?
- I love the book's approach to encouragement for effort as opposed to simple praise.
- I love the ideas about getting your children involved in "family contributions" as opposed to "chores".
- I love that the book is about empowering our children as opposed to controlling them.
- I love that the book spends a good deal of time explaining, psychologically, why children behave the way they do so parents can move beyond the label of "misbehavior".
- I love how thorough and organized it is, with real tools any parent can use effectively.
- I love that it has methods that work with children ages 2 to 12 and that the author differentiates how to
- I love that there's a whole chapter devoted to sibling rivalry!
I'm Not Just Reviewing It, I'm Giving One Away.
Amy McCready sent me a copy of "If I Have to Tell You One More Time" with a request to review it. Although I was under no obligation to do so, I liked it so much that I not only am recommending it, but I asked if she would consider offering one more copy as a giveaway!
So, if my review has intrigued you and you'd like to understand your children better, have more cooperation in your house and actually have some great tools in your toolbox for handling misbehavior, then leave me a comment below and let us know why you'd like a copy of the book. Make sure you leave a way for me to contact you if you win! If you'd like a double chance of winning, become a subscriber to my blog as well. I will choose a winner at random (through Random.org) on Friday, August 12th at noon and announce the winner on my Facebook page.
I look forward to your thoughts about this book. Do you think it could help with some of your own parenting issues?

Have you ever needed to share processing between two or more computers running programs written in different languages on different operating systems? Or have you ever wanted to publish information on the Web so that programs other than browsers could work with it? XML-RPC, a system for remote procedure calls built on XML and the ubiquitous HTTP protocol, is the solution you've been looking for.Programming Web Services with XML-RPC introduces the simple but powerful capabilities of XML-RPC, which lets you connect programs running on different computers with a minimum of fuss, by wrapping procedure calls in XML and establishing simple pathways for calling functions. With XML-RPC, Java programs can talk to Perl scripts, which can talk to Python programs, ASP applications, and so on. You can provide access to procedure calls without having to worry about the system on the other end, so it's easy to create services that are available on the Web.XML-RPC isn't the only solution for web services; the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is another much-hyped protocol for implementing web services. While XML-RPC provides fewer capabilities than SOAP, it also has far fewer interoperability problems and its capabilities and limitations are much better understood. XML-RPC is also stable, with over 30 implementations on a wide variety of platforms, so you can start doing real work with it immediately.Programming Web Services with XML-RPC covers the details of five XML-RPC implementations, so you can get started developing distributed applications in Java, Perl, Python, ASP, or PHP. The chapters on these implementations contain code examples that you can use as the basis for your own work. This book also provides in-depth coverage of the XML-RPC specification, which is helpful for low-level debugging of XML-RPC clients and servers. And if you want to build your own XML-RPC implementation for another environment, the detailed explanations in this book will serve as a foundation for that work.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Programming Web Services with XML-RPC is a jellyfish. A member of the phylum Cnidaria, jellyfish are found in all oceans and many freshwater lakes and rivers. The name "jellyfish" refers to the animal's adult stage of development, when it acquires a bell- or umbrella-shaped body and long tentacles. The animal's body (including tentacles) is about 95 percent water and ranges in size from less than an inch to over 100 feet. Jellyfish feed by paralyzing their victims with nematocysts—stinging, harpoon-like cells located in their tentacles. The sting, though lethal to its prey, protects the jellyfish; its body is so fragile that it cannot endure a struggle and must render its prey motionless before feeding. This sting has given the jellyfish a bad reputation among swimmers, some of whom are seriously injured by brushing against the animal's tentacles. Most jellyfish are harmless to humans, though, and are noted more for their fragile beauty than for their sting.

XML-RPC is a very interesting technology and this books cover its protocol-level details and API-level details well. It discusses tradeoffs of the protocol design, and has chapters on programming XML-RPC with Java, PHP, Perl, Python, and ASP. It also covers XML-RPC in the broader range of web services, and how it fits in with the future of web programming. Very interesting stuff.dave

Taking the time to understand what types of homeowners insurance coverage are included in your policy can help you understand what it protects. Most Allstate home insurance policies include standard coverage, like:
You can choose from many different optional coverage types that can help protect your home, your belongings and your family beyond the standard home insurance coverage types. An example of an optional coverage you could choose is identity restoration coverage, which can offer added protection in the event your identity is stolen.
You can add optional coverage to your homeowners insurance policy, but you can also purchase separate insurance policies that offer more protection. Flood protection is not included in most home insurance policies, so to get it, you'll likely need to purchase flood insurance. You can also get liability protection beyond your current home and auto policy limits with personal umbrella insurance.
The homeowners insurance coverage and policies you choose will depend on the type of protection you want. Find an agent to discuss your options and understand what your insurance can cover.
When you're selecting the coverage you want on your homeowners policy, it can be helpful to know what common claims homeowners near you have filed. Understanding what those claims are can help you see what types of risks your home might be susceptible to, so you can consider adding coverage to your policy that can help protect against those risks.

I would have to say hands down taliah is the pretties she is very gourgues
I would have to agree! She's definitely the prettiest sis. Far prettier than Jameelah..kind of goofy looking.
I thought Taliah was prettier and sexier than her younger sisters. I don't know how she lost that poll by so much. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

We've NEVER Had a Bargain Like This Before!
So you've got a closet full of old VHS tapes sitting around collecting dust and takin' up tons of space!
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could put 'em on DVD?. Heck, maybe you've got a ton of home videos that you shot with a camcorder and you have a bunch of home movies you shot with a camcorder and you wish you could transfer them to DVD! (Heck just think of all the closet space you'd free up!)
That's why I was so excited when we discovered an INCREDIBLE little device that will turn your wishes into reality! You just gotta check this out!
EasyCap Video Capture Box takes your videos and transfers 'em to your computer (then onto DVD or Video CD)!
How's it work? Pretty simple really. You just plug your VCR / DVD Player / Video Camera into the standard Audio / Video inputs on this device (or, for even better quality - plug into the "S" Video plug). Pretty easy so far huh? Now, just plug the EasyCap into your USB port and run the software!
To transfer, just hit PLAY on your VCR (or DVD player, or camcorder, or whatever) and RECORD on the included software! That's really it! This can record ANYTHING that you can plug into it! Old VHS movies, your favorite home videos, even copy DVDs to your computer so you can watch them on an iPod or portable video player! Pretty sweet huh?
Really, just plug in a couple cords, follow the software prompts, and you're good to go!
Just check out the video at our site - Gary will show you how incredibly easy this actually is!!
If you have a closet full of old VHS tapes, why let them deteriorate to the point of no longer being playable? Hey, VHS doesn't have that long of a shelf life - 15 years is probably optimistic.
If you have a stack of VHS tapes that you want to keep, you absolutely HAVE to get them transferred to something more reliable - and this makes it easy!
Besides, when was the last time you saw a new VHS player at a store? Doesn't happen very often now - they are an endangered species, and they aren't far from permanent extinction! The day is coming where even if you WANT to buy a VHS player to look at those old tapes it simply isn't going to be an option! Better transfer 'em while you can!
Oh, and do you have a camcorder that uses an odd-sized tape - you know, so you have to hook the camcorder up to the TV to see your videos? Well, why not hook that little camcorder up to this and finally get all those tapes transferred over to digital? From there, you can enjoy them on your computer or create your own DVD / Video CD to watch in a standard DVD player!
That's right - you don't even need a DVD burner on your computer - you can make a Video CD that will play in any standard DVD player!
|Everything is SUPER easy to work with!
You'll be able to get things transferred over in no time!
Why let your tapes fade into an analog ether? This can save 'em before it's too late!
Your cost? Get this - Just $29.97 and US Shipping is FREE!
For that kind of money, it's crazy not to grab this and start transferring all those old VHS tapes and camcorder movies to your computer or DVD! Heck, this can even record from a DVD player if you need an extra copy of something! Check it out, but hurry - this is something we've had a LOT of requests for and now that it's finally here, it's bound to fly!
PS - Don't miss out - this little gadget makes transferring your old VHS / Camcorder tapes to DVD incredibly easy - get yours today!

text: What I'm saying, is this- If you want people to get behind your rationale, don't make stuff up. Once you start freestyling with the facts, I, personally, am going to get the gut feeling that your perceptions are just as emotionally driven as those you wish to denounce. If that's how you want to roll....let loose man. It's not going to keep people from pointing to the trolley as it breaches the tunnel leading to the land of make-believe, though. Regardless of how many times you pop into a thread to tell them not to notice it.

Hi Lucy,
I have two questions!
I am a new teacher teaching an elementary class present simple and present continuous. They have had 4 lessons (of 2.5 hours each lesson) on this so far and are still struggling with the differences. I started teaching them recently and unfortunately all the resources in the text books had already been used by the previous teacher. I am struggling to know how to expand the topic into another lesson (which they need) without just making it a series of quite dull exercises cobbled together from the internet and my own materials which, as well as being boring for them, I am finding very time consuming to plan. I am spending as long planning as I am teaching! Once course book resources are used up, how do you go about planning a coherent lesson without it taking forever?! Course books only seem to cater to one or two lessons on a tense and my group need at least a week on anything new.
My second question is that I have a student who is clearly more advanced than the others and she is getting very frustrated at the pace of the classes. She should be moved up a level but cant because of the timetable. How can I stop her mutinaeing?! There are only 3 students in the class so it is almost a one to one with the slower ones.
Any help / advice gratefully received!

This is What REAL Snow Looks Like
Haven't posted yet in February, although there was something pretty important weighing on my mind (Ophir ben-Sheetreet's singing), which I might write about later.
Meanwhile, there was a serious blizzard in the northeast. My daughter Toodles lives in New York, which luckily 'dodged the bullet' and did not even break a record (11 inches of snow was recorded in Central Park. Peanuts.). She did, however, with her cousin's help, build a snowman. Well, a snow-building. The Empire State Building, to be exact. While she was sick. I mean, what else would you do in New York if you're sick?

This year at E3, Lucasfilm will be bringing gamers back to a galaxy far, far away. They plan to show off a brand new Star Wars game franchise during this year's E3. The first details of this project will be revealed shortly before the convention.
GameTrailers TV will give the world the first look at the game durign their pre-E3 episode on May 31st. Presumably we'll see a short teaser trailer. Then, on June 4th, GTTV will show off the first gameplay footage during their "E3 All Access Live" special at 10 PM EST.
"I am blown away by both the caliber of the team on this project and their bold vision for this new Star Wars title," said Geoff Keighley, host of GTTV. "I can't wait to introduce our viewers to this game and show off the footage that left my jaw on the floor when I first saw it."
Lucasfilm recently filed a trademark for the phrase Star Wars 1313. Some assume that it's the name of this new game. "1313" is supposedly a reference to Boba Fett, as he used the alias "CT-1313" during the novel Boba Fett: Maze of Deception. I'm a bit skeptical of these theories, because A) that's a pretty flimsy Fett connection and B) Star Wars 1313 sounds like a dog**** title.

Thanks, Kurt
I never use this site,but it looks ok to use except that I am afraid who will evaluate your case? Are they doctors or nurses who specialized in cancer or just discharging planners in the medical field? Or even worse,they are just trained office workers.Also if one clinical trial pays them better,will they try to get you there instead of the one that you may really needed?
Most of the clinical trials are university hospital based and most likely they will be far apart for the each clinical trial if not the only one available to that region.
By the way,the site" Emerging med "only list bile duct cancer under the general search term of liver cancer.
Also,as I mentioned in the other replies,there are a lot of side effects for those molecularly targeted agents (the anti-EGFR agent like erlotinib can cause pneumonias which can be fatal. or the angiogenesis inhibitors like bevacizumab(Avastin) can cause hypertension ,liver abscess and colon perforation.) The other concern is that drug resistance can be developed for all those targeted therapy drugs " nibs and mabs " and you may consider that as well.
As a matter of fact our Gavin provided this link in Feb.2011 http://trialx.com/curebyte/2011/02/26/c … nesota-mn/ .
and this is an other way to find clinical trial near you.All you need is to put in the zip code and it will show the clinical trial location near you;but again the above caution that I mentioned still apply.
I hope the suggestion helps.
Kurt....In addition to PCLS's suggestion I would also like to point Triaclcheck which is used by the the American Cancer Society to search for a clinical trial
I hope this helped also.

MADISON - Gary Andersen was introduced as the 29th head coach in Wisconsin football history on Dec. 20, 2012. He comes to Madison after four seasons as the head coach at Utah State, where he led a program that had just six wins in the previous three seasons to a 26-24 record in his four years at the helm.
Most recently, Andersen guided Utah State to its most successful season in history in 2012. The Aggies won a school-record 11 games, went undefeated in the WAC and captured their first outright league title since 1936. To cap the season, USU defeated Toledo, 41-15, to win the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
For guiding Utah State to double-digit victories for the first time in history, Andersen was named the WAC Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award. In addition to their first bowl win since 1993, the Aggies defeated three teams that finished the season with at least nine wins, with all of those victories coming away from home. That included a win at No. 20 Louisiana Tech, the first road win over a ranked team in in the program's history. Utah State also defeated in-state rival Utah for the first time since 1997.
With the final rankings due out after the bowl season wraps up, Utah State currently sits at No. 18 in the Associated Press Top 25 and has been ranked in the AP poll in the each of the last three weeks. The Aggies also made their first-ever appearance in the BCS standings, checking in at No. 22 in the final edition this season.
Andersen, who was the defensive coordinator at Utah for four seasons before getting the head job at Utah State, has a history of developing tremendous defenses. This year, Utah State ranks eighth in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 15.4 points per game. In 2008, the year before Andersen took over at USU, the Aggies allowed an average of 34.7 points per game and ranked 106th nationally.
In addition to scoring defense, Utah State also ranked among the top 15 nationally in sacks (eighth), pass efficiency defense (10th), rush defense (12th) and total defense (15th). In the red zone, the Aggies were particularly effective, allowing opponents to score on just 63.6 percent of their trips inside the 20-yard line, a mark that tied them for third in the country in red zone defense. USU opponents scored just 13 TDs in 44 red zone opportunities (29.5 percent).
On the offensive side of the ball, much like Badgers fans are accustomed to from UW, Utah State has been very efficient running the ball. The Aggies finished sixth in the country in rushing offense in 2011 (282.7 ypg) and are 25th in the country this season (204.1 ypg). USU is one of just four schools in the country (Wisconsin, Oregon and Western Kentucky are the others) to have a 1,500-yard rusher in each of the last two seasons. RB Robert Turbin ranked 10th nationally with 1,517 yards on the ground in 2011 and RB Kerwynn Williams ran for 1,512 yards this season, good for ninth in the country.
Over the last two seasons, Utah State has averaged 463.2 yards of total offense per game and ranked among the top 25 nationally in that category both years. This season the Aggies are one of just 19 teams in the country to average at least 200 yards rushing and passing.
With consecutive appearances in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Utah State was bowl eligible in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1960-61. In 2011, the Aggies finished 7-6, the most wins for USU since 1993. They burst on the national scene in the season-opener, taking defending national champion Auburn down to the wire on the road. The season ended with Turbin earning WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors and Utah State leading the WAC in total defense.
In the three seasons preceding Andersen's hire (2006-08), Utah State went a combined 6-30 (.167). The Aggies had not finished above .500 since 1996. He led USU to back-to-back winning seasons and a 26-24 mark in four years (.520).
Along with their success on the field, Utah State's players have succeeded in the classroom under Andersen. The 2011 Aggies were represented by 18 players on the All-WAC Academic Team, the most in the conference. More than half of Andersen's players at USU earned at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
During his five seasons at Utah, Andersen was a part of two undefeated campaigns, both of which culminated in BCS bowl victories. He was the Utes' defensive coordinator in 2008 as they went 13-0 and defeated Alabama, 31-17, in the Sugar Bowl to end the season ranked No. 2 in the country. His defense ranked 11th nationally in rush defense, No. 12 in total defense and No. 20 in pass efficiency defense, and Andersen was named a finalist for the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant coach.
In 2007, Utah led the country in pass efficiency defense, ranked fifth in scoring D and 18th in total defense.
Overall, Andersen spent 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Utah after coaching for the Utes from 1997-2002 before becoming the head coach at Southern Utah in 2003 and then returning to Utah in 2004.
Andersen's coaching career began in 1988 as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Southeastern Louisiana, where he coached for one season before going to Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho) from 1989-92 as the offensive line coach. His other coaching stints include Idaho State (1992-94, defensive line), Park City (Utah) High School (1994-95, head coach) and Northern Arizona (1995-96, assistant head coach/defensive line/special teams).
A 1986 graduate of Utah, Andersen earned his bachelor's degree in political science. He played center for Utah from 1985-86 after garnering first-team junior college All-America honors in 1984 at Ricks College.
Andersen is married to the former Stacey Lambert, and they have three sons: Keegan and twins Chasen and Hagen. Keegan is currently a tight end on Utah State's football team, while Chasen and Hagen are both seniors at Logan High School.

Keeneland's Vinery Madison Stakes Awarded Grade 1 Status; Three Other Stakes Upgraded
Lexington, KY (November 25, 2008) – The American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association has elevated the graded status of Keeneland's Vinery Madison, Thoroughbred Club of America, Fayette and Woodford Stakes for 2009.
"Stakes achieve upgrades because of the quality of the horses who participate in them. On behalf of Keeneland, I want to thank all the horsemen who support our racing program," said Rogers Beasley, Keeneland's director of racing.
The fall meet's Thoroughbred Club of America and Fayette Stakes, each formerly Grade 3, were awarded Grade 2 status. The Thoroughbred Club of America – for fillies and mares, 3-years-old and up, at six furlongs – has become an important fixture on Keeneland's opening FallStars Weekend. In turn, the Fayette, a 1 1/8-mile test for 3-year-olds and up, anchors closing Saturday in the fall.
A third fall meet stakes, the Woodford, was elevated from listed to Grade 3 status. The Woodford is held for 3-year-olds and up at 5 ½ furlongs on the turf.

Notable Oregonians: Rex T. Barber - WWII Fighter Pilot and Ace
Rex T. Barber was born in Culver, Oregon, on May 6, 1917. He briefly attended Linfield College then transferred to Oregon State College where he majored in Agricultural Engineering. Barber enlisted in the Army Air Corps in September, 1940 and applied for pilot training. He won his pilot wings and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Lieutenant Barber's first duty assignment was with the 70th Fighter Squadron at Hamilton Field, CA, where he initially flew Curtis P-40s and Bell P-39s. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the 70th Squadron moved to Guadalcanal where the Squadron acquired twin-engine Lockheed P-38 Lightnings.
The most significant event of Rex Barber's military career occurred in mid-April 1943. A coded Japanese message was intercepted, telling in precise detail the planned route and scheduled arrival for Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's flight to the island of Bougainville on the morning of April 18, 1943. Yamamoto served as Commander in Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was Japan's foremost military leader and architect of the infamous December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Major John Mitchell, Commanding Officer of Barber's squadron, the 339th Fighter Squadron, was selected to plan and lead a flight to intercept and to shoot down Yamamoto's plane. Four pilots had been designated to carry out the actual attack against Yamamoto's bomber: they were Capt. Tom Lanphier, Lt. Rex Barber, Lt. Besby Holmes, and Lt. Ray Hine. The flight took off on schedule on April 18.
The question of who shot down Admiral Yamamoto has been disputed for several decades. The U.S. Air Force gave Lanphier and Barber each half credit. In 1997 the American Fighter Aces Association gave Barber 100 percent credit for shooting down the bomber carrying Yamamoto. In 1998 the Confederate Air Force recognized that Barber alone and unassisted brought down Yamamoto's aircraft and inducted him into the American Combat Airman Hall of Fame.
In all, Barber flew 110 combat missions from Guadalcanal. He transferred to China in early 1944 and flew another 28 combat missions in P-38s. During the course of the war, Barber shot down several more enemy aircraft. He also suffered injuries, but managed to evade capture, after his plane was shot down. Upon returning to the United States in January 1945, Barber test flew the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, the country's first operational jet fighter.
By the end of World War II, he was credited with five confirmed kills conferring "ace" status, sinking one destroyer, and three "probables," including what was likely the most notable aerial victory of the war - the downing of Yamamoto's plane. Barber was awarded the Navy Cross by Admiral Halsey, two Silver Stars, a Purple Heart, numerous Air Medals and a wide array of theater ribbons, campaign medals, and decorations from foreign governments.
He married Margaret, his partner-for-life, in Panama City, Florida in 1947. They had one child, Rex Jr. After more than 20 years of distinguished military service, Barber retired from active Air Force duty as a Colonel in 1961. He maintained an active interest in veteran organizations over the next 40 years.
Colonel Barber and his family returned to his hometown of Culver, Oregon, where he enjoyed a successful insurance career and served as justice of the peace and mayor. He was noted for never having missed a Little League ball game and as a person who would repeatedly take in stray kids.
Rex Barber died at home in Terrebonne, Oregon on July 26, 2001. His son noted that his father had enjoyed a good 84 years, then his "afterburner just flamed out on him."
On April 18, 2003, the 60th anniversary of the Yamamoto shootdown, Oregon Governor Kulongoski proclaimed that day as "Rex T. Barber Day." The previous week saw the Oregon legislature rename the new bridge over the Crooked River on U.S. Highway 97 the "Rex T. Barber Veterans Memorial Bridge." The bridge joins Jefferson and Deschutes counties where Rex Barber lived before and after his distinguished military career.
Based on recent evidence, the governor and legislature also concluded that Rex Barber deserved 100 percent credit for the Yamamoto shootdown. The new bridge, plaque, and kiosk honoring Rex T. Barber and veterans were dedicated on August 9, 2003 at the Peter Skene Ogden State Park immediately adjacent to the old and new bridges. The same day he was enrolled in the Legion of Valor.

5.5GT Briggs & Stratton Edger/Trimmer Steel Wheels
Our Products
McLane edger/trimmers use single lever blade clutch and depth control. The cutter head is precision machined and uses sealed precision ball bearings on a 2"x9" spring steel blade. Each edger/Trimmer uses an all steel heavy duty chassis along with a tubular steel handle, and is finished with a powder coated-baked polyester paint that resists chipping and corrosion. McLane edger/trimmers cut vertically or horizontally, and do it smoothly thanks to wide rubber tires with ball bearing wheels. Best of all, McLane edgers are designed to ride on most curbs while still delivering a clean cut every time. The blade can be quickly and easily tilted to almost any angle, and will trim flat at any height. The front wheels move to convert from edger to trimmer in seconds. All McLane edger/trimmers meet all established safety standards.

Now that I have somthing looking pretty good, I decided it was time to post! I used WOF's templates, but the bucket it waaay toooo big for me. It is a little wider than I would have liked, so if anyone has an idea on how to slim it down, that would be amazing. I mostly used Antman's tut, but it still came out pretty wierd. Also, I thought it would be cool to change up the face a little bit. I added a custom little mouthpiece, and it is going to give make the visor look like it has teeth.

SMSC has announced that it is breaking new ground in USB port power charging with the industry's first programmable USB power controller.
The controller comes in three models - the UCS1001-1, UCS1001-2 and UCS1002 - and offers advanced USB based charging capabilities for engineers designing host devices such as notebook or desktop computers, monitors, docking stations, printers as well as dedicated AC-DC products such as wall adapters.
The UCS1001 and UCS1002 are both available in a 20-pin QFN 4x4mm package. Samples of these models are currently available.
"USB ports are now considered global charging sources, but the technology has not yet reached its full potential because many portable devices have unique charger requirements. Without products such as the UCS1001 and UCS1002, sub-standard or no charging can result," said Mitch Polonsky, director of Product Marketing for Analog Products and Technology at SMSC. "The UCS1001 and UCS1002 enable electronics designers to emulate virtually any charger, promoting fast and efficient power charging regardless of which brand of portable device is plugged into the USB port. Our programmable UCS port power controllers finally enable USB to converge on its promise as a universal charging source for billions of devices around the world."

The winner can pick one of the following designs.
Here are the options:
Here are the options:
Just a little bit more info:
These are pre-pasted, pre-spaced, individually cut letters that press on your wall or any flat surface. These are not decals with clear film or white areas around the letters, but rather individually cut letters that have been pre-spaced for you. The letters arrive on a sheet which adheres to your wall. After pressing the sheet to your wall, you pull it back and only the lettering remains. The letters are thin, the equivalent to about 2-3 coats of paint, so they give you the look of hand-painted stenciling without the time and trouble. They don't fade or crack and are easily removable!
This auction ends at midnight on Wednesday, March 3rd.
Happy bidding!

The Canisius baseball team won the opener 8-6 in eight innings before dropping the second game 4-3 at Longwood University on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins extended their winning streak to five games before seeing it end in the walk-off loss. Canisius is now 8-5 on the season.
Game One - Canisius 8, Longwood 6 (8 Innings)
Each team got on the scoreboard in the first inning, with junior Ryan Coppinger reaching on an error to lead off the game. After Coppinger stole second, he moved to third on a groundout and scored on a two-out, RBI single from senior Chris Gruarin. The Lancers tied the game in the bottom of the inning and then took a 3-1 lead with two runs in the bottom of the third.
Canisius tied the game in the fifth with juniors Jesse Kelso and Jimmy Luppens leading off with back-to-back singles. Gruarin scored Kelso with an RBI double and later scored on an RBI groundout from sophomore Jesse Puscheck. The Griffs took the lead in the sixth as senior Manny Hernandez led off with a single and pinch runner Jose Torralba moved to second on fielder's interference and to third on a sacrifice bunt. After an intentional walk to Kelso, Luppens came through with the two-out, RBI double down the left-field line to give Canisius the 4-3 lead. Gruarin gave the Griffs an insurance run with his second two-out, RBI single of the day to score Kelso and put Canisius up by two runs. The Griffs pushed across another run in the seventh as sophomore Mike Booth reached after being hit by a pitch with one out. A single from Torralba moved Booth to second and an RBI single from junior Ronnie Bernick put Canisius up by three runs. The Griffs would need all of those runs as Longwood scored three unearned runs in the seventh, taking advantage of a one-out error from Puscheck, to force extra innings.
The Griffs bounced right back and scored two runs in the top of the eighth, starting with a leadoff single from Gruarin. After junior Shane Zimmer moved Gruarin to second with a grounder, Puscheck had the RBI single to right to score Gruarin. Pinch runner Christian Segar then stole second, stole third and scored on a wild pitch to put the Griffs up by two.
Sophomore Rohn Pierce started for the Griffs and allowed three runs six hits, walked one and struck out six in five innings. Junior Jon Fitzsimmons allowed the three unearned runs in the seventh but picked up the victory by retiring the side in order in the eighth. Fitzsimmons (2-0) struck out two in his three innings of work.
Game Two - Longwood 4, Canisius 3
Canisius got on the board in the top of the first again with sophomore Mike Krische leading off with a double. A one-out, RBI single from Kelso scored Krische. The junior then stole second base and scored on an RBI double from Gruarin. The Lancers got one back in the bottom of the first before the Griffs regained the two-run lead in the top of the third. Senior Brooklyn Foster started the two-out rally by being hit by a pitch, stole second and then scored on an RBI single from Puscheck to put Canisius up 3-1.
The Lancers scored the final three runs of the game to complete the come-from-behind, walk-off win. Longwood scored one in the fifth and then scored two in the seventh for the win. Kyri Washington hit a leadoff homer in the seventh to tie the game and a two-out double from Colton Konvicka gave Longwood the doubleheader split.
Sophomore Devon Stewart took the loss for the Griffs, allowing four runs on six hits, in 6.2 innings. Aaron Myers went the distance for Longwood, not allowing a hit in the final four innings.
Canisius and Longwood are scheduled to complete the four-game series on Sunday, with first pitch set for 1 p.m.

Last week, an American air strike supposedly killed a prominent head of al-Qaida in Somalia, but in the course of killing one man, the bombs also killed 24 other people including men, women, and children. About a thousand Somalis took to the streets of the town that was raided to protest against these deaths. Most in the crowd were women and children who held aloft signs saying: "Down with the Bush administration." Abdl-risaq Moalim, head of education in the city, said three students were killd and four were seriously wounded. "Our town has been severely affected by the recent U.S. attack, and still we fear becausse planes continue to fly over our city."
Thirteen year-old Nu Ahmed Nur commented: "The U.S. stike killed my brother, my sister and also wounded my grandmother. We are refugees who fled from Mogadishu. When did we become a terrorist target?"
The Ethiopian invasion of Somalia was brought about due to pressure from the Bush administration who feared the growth of al-Qaida in Somalia. In the process of invading a Muslim nation, the only result is exactly what happened in Iraq- al-Qaida has grown in power and the forces of militancy have become stronger.
Members of the United States Congress should be asking questions about the use of American naval and air power in fighting Somali militants. Did Congess authorize the use of force in Somalia? Did Congress know President Bush was behind the invasion by Christian Ethiopian forces of a Muslim nation?

The purpose of the Indiana Reading Evaluation And Determination (IREAD-3) assessment is to measure foundational reading standards through grade three. Based on the Indiana Academic Standards, IREAD-3 is a summative assessment that was developed in accordance with House Enrolled Act 1367 (also known as Public Law 109 in 2010), which "requires the evaluation of reading skills for students who are in grade three beginning in the Spring of 2012 to ensure that all students can read proficiently before moving on to grade four."
The purpose of the test blueprint, designed with the help of Indiana classroom teachers, is to make transparent to educators the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of students on the assessment.
The blueprint can be used as a tool to:
- Align expectations regarding mastery of the standards;
- Identify the degree of emphasis of curricular components;
- Assist and guide the prioritizing of curriculum and instructional planning; and
- Enhance classroom assessment.
Item Sampler
The Item Sampler provides information about IREAD-3 for students, parents, educators, and others. The items in this sampler are examples of the types of items that may appear on IREAD-3. These examples can serve as models when teachers are constructing items for classroom assessment. It should be noted that the sampler is not a practice test.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you for the advice. My pup was a bottle baby so it was suggested to do what I can to teach her about jaw pressure. I only let her bite me so that she learns to distinguish between mouthing and hard biting.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
|Steve Strom
we are working on bite inhibition as I don't mind her biting me
Maybe I'm more of a management type with a lot of things like meals, but I'd just crate her when you're eating. In some ways I'm just lazy and I'm not going to be bothered with trying to train some proper behavior when I'm eating. Its just to easy to not be bothered with it.
I use corrections, I start using a leash pop almost as soon as I put a leash on them in a way that shows them it isn't then end of the world. If you've let some of these things like jumping get established and now you need to get them under control because of your Mom coming in, I'd start thinking about some different ways to teach her.
|I'm thinking trainer in the home also, just to be safe. You would be surprised at what these dogs pick up on. My female Robyn was about 6 months old when my mom got sick with cancer. My mom was in a hospital bed and in a wheelchair for a couple months. Robyn(who was a jumper and still was at this point) seemed to understand and was very gentle with my mom . She would sit next to the wheelchair and behave like she was trained for years. I could see in my moms eyes how happy she was just to rest her hand on Robyn's head. My male is a certified therapy dog. When a wheelchair approaches, he moves forward, sits down, scoots back in a sitting position(so he is right next to the wheelchair)and makes sure his back is toward the people so they can pet him. They could use him to get up if they wanted to. I never trained this, he just knew.
|Yes, a trainer is in order but I was hoping for some advice while I research. In my area there are all positive trainers mostly, which is good for puppies I have heard. Would positive reinforcement be the way to go trying to correct small behavior problems or should I be looking into other training methods for the long term?
|I'd try private lessons with a trainer, have the trainer come into your home situation and make an evaluation. It may seem expensive, ours was $100/hr, but all we needed were two private lessons for our issues. And of course you'll need to follow through with the exercises the trainer gives you.
Help with disabled relative moving in
To make a long story short:
Old Living Situation: Myself and room mate, we have opposite full-time work shifts, I work days, she works nights, we both care for the dogs.
New Living Situation: Myself and physically disabled mother, I work full-time, she doesn't work. I'll only be able to care for the dogs in early AM and PM.
Fawn is 5 months old and in teething/sassy/has puppy brain and my mother is still able to walk, be mostly independent but her balance is not reliable. She has watched my pup for me before over weekends and such but the bigger Fawn gets the more difficult it is. Mom is looking forward to watching the dogs during the day while I work, which will work in theory.
My main concerns are Fawn's jumping up (which is not her usual greeting but she will do it at meal time now and then) and her biting (we are working on bite inhibition as I don't mind her biting me). She could easily knock my mother over in a few months and the biting has got to stop sooner than later. As an older woman, her skin can't handle the land sharking. We found that out the hard and painful way.
I'm at a crossroads. I haven't used any correction with Fawn as she doesn't really care if I'm stern with her and I wasn't willing to be physical with her but at this point I need to know the proper way to keep both human and dog safe in this new situation.
Any and all advice greatly appreciated!

Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Hawaii Island
Punaluu Black Sand Beach
- Name: Punaluu Black Sand Beach
- What: Famous black sand beach
- Where: South of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands, green sands and black sands on Hawaii Island. Located on the southeastern Kau coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii.
Located between Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the small town of Naalehu, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large honu, or Hawaiian Green Sea turtles, basking on the beach. Although it may be tempting, do not touch these protected turtles and do not remove any black sand from the beach.
Although swimming isn't ideal, there is a picnic area and restroom facilities so you can have lunch while you experience the unique feeling of black sand between your toes.

University of Delaware Athletics Mourns Loss of Blue Hen Coaching Legend Irv Whiz Wisniewski
Related Links
A native of Toledo, Ohio and a former college standout in football and basketball at the University of Michigan, Coach Wisniewski mentored hundreds of Blue Hen student-athletes over a 29-year tenure that included stints as head coach for basketball and golf and assistant coach for football. For 65 years he teamed with his wife, Martha, and their family to run the Varsity Day Camp near Ann Arbor, Mich. that exposed thousands of youngsters to the great outdoors.
He was inducted into the University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000 and into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 2006.
"The University of Delaware Athletics family is saddened by the news of Coach Whiz' passing, and our thoughts go out to the Wisniewski family," said UD Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Eric Ziady. "Although I never had the opportunity to work with Coach Whiz, his name is synonymous with the great tradition of Blue Hens athletics. He made so many valuable contributions in so many ways to this University. We will always be proud to call him a Blue Hen."
A viewing will be held next Wednesday, March 5, from 6-8 p.m. at the Foard & Jones Funeral Home at 122 West Main Street, Newark. On Thursday, March 6, a funeral mass will be held at the St. Thomas More Oratory at 45 Lovett Ave., on the UD campus at 10:30 a.m. followed by a memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Varsity Day Camp Scholarship Fund, 3420 Cordley Lake Rd., Pinckney, Mich. 48169 (www.varsitydaycamp.com), or to the St. Thomas More Oratory (www.udcatholic.org).
Wisniewski earned his degree in education from the University of Michigan in 1950 where he was a standout two-sport athlete for the Wolverines. He led the football team to two national championships and played in the Rose Bowl twice and was also a member of Michigan's 1948 Big 10 Conference championship basketball team.
He began his coaching career as head coach for football, basketball, and golf for two seasons at Hillsdale (Mich.) College for two seasons in 1950-52 before heading East to join College Football Hall of Fame member Dave Nelson's staff at the University of Delaware in 1952.
He served as ends coach at Delaware for Nelson from 1952 until 1965 and remained in that position for one season when another College Football Hall of Fame inductee, Tubby Raymond, took over the reigns of the Blue Hens in 1966. Wisniewski took over as offensive line coach in 1968 and held that position until his retirement following the 1976 season.
Wisniewski was the architect of powerhouse offensive lines that paved the way for Delaware's rise to perennial national championship contenders during the Wing-T era. He helped to develop numerous Blue Hens who attained All-America status and was instrumental in recruiting top-quality talent. During his 25-year tenure, Delaware won three national titles (1963, 1971, 1972) and five bowl games, made three NCAA Tournament appearances, captured six conference titles, and was named Lambert Cup champions as the top team in the East 11 times.
"Whiz was a fine coach and as fine a person as you would ever want to meet," said Raymond, who like Wisniewski was also a Michigan graduate who followed Nelson to Delaware. "He just had such great empathy for everyone and had great people skills. He will certainly be missed."
As head basketball coach at Delaware from 1954 through 1966, he won a then school-record 111 games and led the 1961-62 team to an 18-5 record. He still ranks No. 2 all-time in wins.
He also authored two editions of the book, "Delaware Basketball," served as an advisor to Poland's Olympic basketball team in 1965 and 1966, and also coached American women's basketball teams and USA junior teams in international competition. He also remained active as a color commentator on UD men's basketball broadcasts for several years following his retirement.
Wisniewski also served as an associate professor at UD from 1952 through 1989 and was head coach of the Blue Hen golf team from 1955 through 1963, leading the team to a then school-record 52 dual meet wins. The team placed third at the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament in 1961.
Coach Wisniewski is survived by his wife, Martha, and seven children. Son, Mike, and son-in law Tom Brattan, both played football at the University of Delaware while daughter, Mary, played both volleyball and basketball, and daughter, Clare, played volleyball. Son, John, served as a manager for the football team. Mike earned All-American honors for Delaware's 1979 national championship team.

Nine great environmental movies you may not know, but should see
By Brett Kessler
Green Right Now
The last five years have seen a dramatic spike in the popularity of movies with green themes. More than ever before, cinemagoers are flocking to theaters to learn more about the planet and the way we're shaping it.
But environmentally conscious movies are not a recent phenomenon. Some of the most potent screen statements about man's relationship with his world were made decades ago. Others slipped under the radar and have never attracted the wide audience they deserve.
From Microcosmos to Koyaanisqatsi, here are nine environmental movies from around the globe that you may have missed – but will find just as intriguing as Avatar or An Inconvenient Truth.
Koyaanisqatsi – the title is a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance" – is one of the most famous art movies ever made. A montage of beautiful slow-motion and time-lapse photography set to a mesmerizing score by Philip Glass, the film allows viewers to contemplate the way humans relate to nature and technology. It spawned two sequels – Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi – and was added to the National Film Registry. Filmmaker Godfrey Reggio made Koyaanisqatsi (pronounced KOY-ah-nis-KAHT-see) in 1982. Francis Ford Coppola held the film in such high regard that he allowed his name to be added as executive producer.

The other day somebody asked me what my favorite color was. This question should be easy. But sometimes easy questions have hard answers.
When I was growing up I loved pink and purple. Years later, when I lived in New York City, my favorite color was black, of course. Later, I looked for something brighter and tended to favor red and fuchsia. I now have to say that like many people these days, and most frogs, my favorite color is green.

The head of Kansas City, Missouri schools has been getting hit from all sides this week. Dr. Steve Green joins Nick Haines to give his take on a major Missouri Supreme Court ruling this week that permits students in the Show-Me-State to transfer out of unaccredited districts. But what does the ruling mean for the 16,000 students in his district?
Plus, Dr. Green responds to new revelations surrounding the Missouri Education Commissioner Chris Nicastro and secret plans to take over his school district.
Sporting success…
Also this week, Sporting Kansas City is the toast of the nation as it wins the MLS Cup. Nick Haines sits down with the club's CEO Robb Heineman and dissects the teams path to success.

I am a freelance teacher and have just started a course preparing "lycée" or High school students for the TOEIC. This is the first time I have done this. I have one one-and-a-half hour session each week with a group of 4 and we are doing 14 sessions. I have the ETS Tactics for TOEIC kit which is quite useful.
I'd like to hear from and share ideas with someone who has previous experience of the test.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
