I am sure someone has started doing it, scouting for turkeys. It is about that time. I do not know much about turkey hunting. I think I have gone three times in the past five years. Of course, I was sick during most of that time and didnt hunt anything much. I do know I never scout for them. However, some say scouting is as important in turkey hunting as it is in deer hunting. I guess it is if you dont see them almost daily or are serious about killing one. I am not.
My standard method of hunting is just to go where I have been seeing them regularly and wait for them to come by.Most mornings, just about seven or seven-thirty, I see one or two big longbeards on the edge of a pasture near here. When the Music City Star blows the horn, most mornings I hear three or four gobble across the street. I have permission to hunt both places. If I go opening morning, I will probably just sit in front of a big maple I know about and wait for them to head for the pasture. However, I have been turkey scouting in the past.

The Wilson Post
Thanks to a federal Education Jobs Program, Wilson County Schools are making considerable gains for students who were identified to receive reading intervention as the Board of Education listened to results from the program on Monday night.
Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction Monty Wilson said that four certified teachers were hired with federal EJP money in 2010 with one placed at each high school to help the 253 students identified as reading below grade level.
After working with teachers in special group lessons, private tutoring and basic reading classes, Wilson said the students gained on average three years worth of reading comprehension.
The majority of these students were reading at a middle school level, while some were still reading at an elementary level, Wilson told the board, noting that students on a sixth grade reading level improved to a ninth grade level.
In the fall of 2010, the county schools received approximately $2 million to hire reading teachers for students whose reading skills were below grade level. The county has since monitored the success of the program to consider its continuation.
The following semester, in 2011, eighth grade students were administered the Test of Silent Contextual Reading Fluency or TOSCRF and 156 students, or approximately 11 percent of rising ninth graders, were shown to be severely behind in grade level reading fluency.
These students received a full semester of reading intervention prior to enrolling in an English 1 course, Wilson said. At the conclusion of one semester the average student gained three years of fluency.
Wilson pointed out those 156 students would have tested as Below Basic on the English 1 End of Course Test if they had been moved straight into English 1 as freshmen. He said many of those students were reading at or around a sixth grade level when they would be expected to study plays such as Romeo and Juliet or Julius Caesar in ninth grade English.
If youre reading at a sixth grade level, youre just not going to understand Shakespeare, Wilson said.
After a full years worth of data, Wilson said hes hoping to show that these students were able to not only pass English 1 but test Proficient on the English 1 EOC test as a result of receiving the additional reading course.
He said if the program were allowed to continue, he would want to monitor the students progress throughout high school to even take into account their graduation rates. By reading on grade level upon entering high school, Wilson said these students would be more likely to graduate than if they didnt receive the additional course.
These 156 students reading fluency level is on grade level, which will enhance not only their ability to read, but their probability of graduating high school and being college and career ready, he said.
The program was also implemented in elementary schools to make sure students are able to read on grade level by third grade, which board members indicated was the first real benchmark to reading comprehension skills.
The third grade level is really the first benchmark and for whatever reason, were failing there, said Zone 4 board member Ron Britt.
According to data obtained from local elementary schools, nine out of 12 saw a decrease in the number of students who tested Below Basic on their Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program test, or TCAP.
In all, 24 additional teachers were hired to assist the schools regular classroom teachers for improving reading levels districtwide.
Director of Schools Mike Davis said while they received around $2 million from federal funds to start the program, it wouldnt be as expensive to continue providing the additional reading instruction.
Zone 1 board member Vikki Adkins said the certified teachers they hired are getting paid as educational assistants, indicating the school system is getting a major bargain.
Board members indicated they wanted to present the data to Wilson County Commissions Education Committee and possibly the full commission to show the value of the additional programs.
We need to put together a presentation for the education committee about the success of this program, said Don Weathers, board chairman and Zone 3 member. To me, this is more important than anything else we have going on in any of our other programs.

Seriously, these weeks are going by so incredibly fast!! I now have a Kindergartener. I can't even believe I'm saying that. Yes, Mini Cupcake #1 started Kindergarten yesterday. Yey for year round schools!
Exciting and sad all at the same time. Time is just flying by!! And look, it's Friday again! Time for another Friday Five linkup with Cynthia, Courtney and Mar…the DC Trifecta!
This week's topic is "NEW". We are starting a new month, so I'm going with 5 "NEW" things i'm loving for the month of August! And coincidentally they all start with the letter S!!
1. SKOOP–Skoop is a superfood blend that has every possible super healthy ingredient that you can imagine! I will be trying the A-game which is a Sweetgreens flavor. Right now I've been mixing with water (and it actually doesn't taste that bad). Apparently there are a ton of ways to use it, so I plan on experimenting and will provide you with a FULL review soon!
2. Spiralizer-
My new favorite kitchen tool! I have been making zoodles but with a julienne peeler, until I found this. Totally digging this. You can pretty much make anything into a noodle! Zucchini, sweet potatoes (make curly fries for the kids), cucumbers, anything!…my son even made pear noodles today. It was a fun way to get him to eat a healthy snack! Loving it! It has changed my life. For real.
You can find it here…this is what I have (affiliate link)
3. Skinny Pop–a new snack to try!
4. Strength Training–it is time to get back on track with my strength training! Moms RUN This Town and He and She Eat Clean have collaborated to come up with a 12 week "Run Builder" strength training plan. I spoke with them and I can definitely do it around my 3 runs a week for marathon training, so I will be starting it as soon as I get back from vacation with Mr. Cupcake in the middle of August! I'd love some buddies to help keep me accountable! It's really affordable as well, so go check it out!! You can find it here!
5. Sneakers–I'm up to almost 400 miles on my Asics and have been looking for another cushioned shoe. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy was a deal too good to pass up. Normally retails for over $200, I scored them for $99 at Road Runner. I've worn Mizuno in the past, but not this model. I'm hoping for the best!
What NEW things are you loving right now?
Anyone have a favorite "zoodle" recipe?
Will you try a new shoe if it's a good deal or do you stick to the same make and model?

Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest Big Board, which looks at his top 25 NFL prospects, is out. And the prospects of a strong first-round for the Pac-12 is looking better and better. Two unranked players from last week are back in the top 25 -- Stanford tight end Zach Ertz and UCLA defensive end Datone Jones. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be first-round picks. But their stock -- and the stocks of other Pac-12 players -- seem to be trending up as the draft looms next week.
Here's a look at the Pac-12 players on this week's Big Board along with some comments from Kiper.
Oregon's Dion Jordan moves up from No. 6 last week to No. 5 this week.
Will be a dynamic 3-4 outside linebacker if he stays healthy. Elite speed and range for his size and he's alleviated some questions about whether he can cover, even as he profiles as a very good pass-rusher.
Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei stays at No. 7.
Tape shows a player who can't be blocked in the run game one-on-one, period -- but he's not a very good pass-rusher. He absorbs so much blocking help and frees up others, but he's not just a clogger, because he can show off a burst that he marries to a great sense for disrupting the run game in the backfield.
Ertz returns to the Big Board at No. 23. And for those of you who like the Sport Science clips, here's Ertz's turn with the crew.
Good speed given the length he provides, Ertz can stretch the seam, but knows the route tree and can work underneath and the sidelines. He's a hands-catcher, and goes out to get the ball, keeping defenders at bay.
Jones checks in right after Ertz at No. 24.
A versatile defender who gets a great burst off the snap and can clear blockers quickly, a reason he piled up 19.0 TFL. He has really good feet, allowing him to not look like a big DT who can't wrap up shifty runners. Pretty quick, he'll chase plays down.
When you factor in that Washington's Desmond Trufant probably goes in the first round -- and there's still an outside shot that USC quarterback Matt Barkley or Cal wide receiver Keenan Allen (or both) sneak into the top 32 -- the conference could potentially have six or seven first-round picks.

The dollar retook ¥98 in Tokyo trading Monday, as higher stock prices in and outside Japan encouraged dollar buying.
At 5 p.m., the dollar was quoted at ¥98.05-08, up from ¥97.90-91 at the same time on Friday. The euro stood at $1.3673-3675, down from $1.3680-3682, and at ¥134.07-10, up from ¥133.94-97.
On Monday, Japan's key stock market gauges climbed to their highest levels in nearly a month while other equity markets in Asia also generally fared well.
The stock market developments "prompted yen sales in cross trading, which in turn helped push up the dollar versus the yen," said a currency market broker.
Also behind the dollar's strength was a bigger-than-expected Japanese trade deficit for September, announced in the morning.
The Finance Ministry said Japan's customs-cleared trade deficit totaled ¥932 billion, even bigger than a median forecast of a ¥920 billion deficit among 23 research institutes surveyed by Jiji Press.
Overall dollar-yen trading was range-bound throughout Monday, ahead of the U.S. Labor Department's announcement of jobs data for September on Tuesday that was delayed by the government shutdown, traders said.
A market consensus is for a U.S. nonfarm payroll increase of some 180,000, with the unemployment rate seen at 7.3 percent.
Few currency players are willing to take big positions in case the results deviate significantly from market forecasts, traders said.
But the upcoming data are too old now and they cover a period ahead of the 16-day shutdown to Wednesday, an economist said, predicting that players are unlikely to react very much to the belated data.
Market participants are interested in how much negative effects the government shutdown has had on the U.S. economy, as well as in the course of U.S. monetary policy, said an official of a foreign exchange margin trading service firm.
Speculation is mounting that an expected reduction in the Federal Reserve's bond purchases is seen starting later than the previously anticipated timing of December, market sources said.

Going through this write up, you will come across some points that are basic features of school management software. You must keep these points in your mind while installing software in your school.
Most of children get school education whatever the type of school (government or private). In order to get more & more students, every school wants to have an advanced infrastructure. Under the infrastructure, the school has desire to have an integrated system which can make its entire operation smooth and include in the list of best schools of the city or even of the country. For getting such a system, the school invests a lot on software which can remove the gap between students, teachers and administration of the same.
With the support of school management software, the management of a school has become easier in comparison with manual work. Some of private as well as government schools have installed the school app while some are considering the installation of one. The schools going to install may have to face some challenges. Keeping this in mind, I am going to mention some points that you look for the software of your school.
Proper management of the fees of the school students As a school administrator, you can for the best school software Delhi which has the capability to manage you fees structure in an efficient manner. The staff at your school wouldn't have to face any problem in the work related to student's fees.
Cost It is not a fact that a high priced school management system has all the facilities that are required to manage the entire school operation. You should not get tracked in this marketing strategy and go for online school management software which is available at cost-effective price and constitutes result oriented mechanism.
User friendliness If you get the system having complicated aspects, it would be difficult for you to manage the entire operation of your school. The employees at your school have a lot of difficulties in entering data, accessing the entered data and operating. So, you must go for user friendly school ERP.
Support services It may happen that your school management software can stop working or may have errors. So, you must see that the software provider has customer support services or not. The availability of customer support services makes you sure that you can face the problems easily if they come into light during operation.
Simple Configuration You should keep in your mind that you get the school software developed which has simple configuration. Having the software of simple configuration helps you in doing all school's works smoothly.
Accuracy of operations contributes to enhanced education management. In straightforward to understand terms, some or the opposite discrepancy in manual work pattern of learning institutes will taint its name, thus, installation of online school software is effectual to accumulate correct results whether or not it's in terms of period attending records, fee calculation or payroll management.

You wouldn't know by the spirited discussion in crowded Starr Auditorium last week that it was late Friday morning in mid-January, the period between academic semesters, a time when students traditionally leave the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) campus to visit family and friends over the holidays.
The students, who chose to remain in Cambridge over the winter break to squeeze in another course prior to the start of the spring semester, were focused on what Gary Orren, V.O. Key, Jr. Professor of Politics and Leadership, argued was "one of the most important 15 minutes in U.S. history most Americans know nothing about."
Orren was referring to Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's inspirational "sermon" to approximately 120 mutinous soldiers from the 20th Maine regiment moments before heading into the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
As Orren explains, Chamberlain's sermon had a significant impact on the battle, and is a case study of persuasion worthy of emulation by students enrolled in his January Term (J-term) course, "Persuasion: The Science and Art of Effective Influence." It is one of 16 J-term courses offered at HKS this January, all of which give students a unique opportunity to earn an additional course credit in just two weeks.
"The J-term also offers much more time and space to accommodate every type of experiential and conventional learning—extended role-play simulations, classroom exercises, small group breakouts, videos, and lecture/discussions," says Orren. "The J-term is ideal for a course like mine where students are developing and honing practical professional skills, breaking old habits, and experimenting with, and acquiring new ones."
All HKS J-term courses meet five days a week; most begin at eight or nine in the morning and continue until five or six o'clock each night.
"It's pretty intense but the great thing about it is that you can really dive into something and do it on a focused basis. During the regular term you have the distraction of having to juggle four different classes at the same time with all the assignments and readings. But here you really get to zero-in so I kind of like that," says Dorothy Tuma MC/MPA 2014.
"It's a much more immersive, engaging experience," Caleb Phillips MPP 2015.
"I didn't expect the workload and the pace. It takes a lot of time for preparation; there is a lot of classroom discussion, and a lot of homework. Overall I think it's quite effective," Jiaoli Chen MC/MPA 2014.
This year's J-term course list included: "Leadership for a Livable City," taught by David Gergen, Public Service Professor of Public Leadership; "Inclusive Security" with Swanee Hunt, Eleanor Roosevelt Lecturer in Public Policy; and "Advance Workshop in Multiparty Negotiation and Conflict Resolution," with instructor Brian Mandell, senior lecturer in public policy.
Most of the courses meet on campus but a few, such as "Community Recovery: Rebuilding Disaster Damaged Communities in Chile," taught by Doug Ahlers, submerge students into important fieldwork. Students in previous years have traveled to New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina, and to Chile following the devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake which struck in 2010, to help residents rebuild their communities.
"We call it an immersive learning experience," says Ahlers, a senior fellow at the Belfer Center and adjunct lecturer in public policy. "We're taking classroom-learned skills and applying them in a real-world setting where time is short, the stakes are high, and real people are counting on us. In situations like these, I've found that Kennedy School students always rise to the occasion."
While Colonel Chamberlain had 15 minutes to practice the principles of persuasion, the students in Orren's course have two weeks to try to master them.
"I think J-Term is good for some particular courses which can really develop your skill set within a short time," says Chen.
"It's the kind of learning that sticks," says Orren.

How the Fiscal Cliff Affects Area Hospitals
The fiscal deal that the President and Congress struck last night averts tax increases for millions of Americans. But it also means major cuts could be coming to hospitals — especially those that rely largely on Medicaid and other public dollars.
Dr. Steven Safyer, president and CEO of Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, spoke with WNYC on how the fiscal cliff deal affects area hospitals.

Voltabox of Texas, Inc.
NORTH AMERICAN Manufacturing and SALES REGION
Voltabox deliberately selected Austin, Texas, the "Birth place of Lithium Phosphate Technology" as its base for developing the North American market. Various groundbreaking discoveries in the field of Li-ion technology originally took place at universities of the region, leading to the growth of firms that have developed and contributed to some outstanding infrastructure in this respect. Voltabox sees plenty of employee potential in this "Silicon Valley of the Battery".
Voltabox of Texas, Inc., has assembled a highly experienced team of specialists to serve the United States and Canadian markets. A group of specialists, working on the basis of your specification profile, creates the corresponding customised application and provides support for system integration. The use of already-available modular elements allows flexible solutions to be created quickly and cost-effectively for the customer concerned.
Since June 15 we have opened up a 23,000 square feed administration and production facility in the Scottsdale Crossing Industrial Park, 1500 Volta Drive, Leander, TX 78641 near Austin, on a site totalling 6 acres in size. Cedar Park is by far the fastest-growing place in the whole of Texas.
The Cedar Park works will then begin turning out mass-produced Voltabox batteries on assembly lines identical to those found in at the Delbrück site, with the same maximised degree of automation and end-to-end process monitoring to guarantee optimum quality.

norCtrack Roland D50 for Kontakt
Category: Software
norCtrack Roland D50 for Kontakt | 238 MB
This Sound library for Native Instruments Kontakt uses sounds from the Roland D50 vintage synth. Each D-50 sound ("patch") was made up of 2 "tones" (Upper and Lower) and each tone was made up of 2 "partials". Each partial could be either a "synth waveform" (pulse or sawtooth waveform) and a TVF (time variant filter, the digital equivalent of a VCF) or a digital PCM waveform (sampled attack transient or looped sustain waveform).
The partials could be arranged following 1 of 7 possible "structures" (algorithms), with a combination of either a PCM waveform or synthesized waveform, with an option to ring modulate the two partials together. The synthesized waveforms could be pulse width modulated and could be passed through a digital 4-stage Low Pass filter, allowing for subtractive synthesis. The lower and upper part could be split or played in dual on the keyboard. The dual configuration allows an 8-voice polyphony bi-timbrality while only one partial plays, which allows for 32 voices.

The actress attended the unveiling of the video installation by fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo without alleged fiance, Tom Sturridge.
Although Sienna Miller chose to keep quiet about her pregnancy, her baby bump says it all. The actress, who is reportedly expecting her first child with actor boyfriend Tom Sturridge, debuted her fuller figure on Tuesday, February 14 night while attending The Ever Changing Face of Beauty at New York's Park Avenue Armory hotel.
Miller, who came to the event sans Sturridge, wore a tight-fitting long black gown which could not hide her growing baby bump. It was rumored that Sturridge has asked her hand in marriage but Miller was not spotted with an engagement ring that night. She was indeed seen with the sparkler on Friday, February 10 night while out in London.
Miller is reportedly due in July. She and Sturridge had only dated slightly over a year when she fell pregnant. Neither Miller or Sturridge has confirmed the engagement and the pregnancy, but the actress' sister, Savannah inadvertently tweeted the news, writing "THRILLED" regarding becoming an aunt.

This started last week, my car would not start. So I jumpstarted it. I figured if I drive it to work, it may bring the battery back to life.
i took it for a ride to work, which is about an hour drive one way. (i usually don't drive the car this far since I take public transportation). On the way home, the car almost didn't start, but it did, and i didn't need a jumpstart. AFter that I left the car unused for a week. We went out of town with the other car until last night.
Last night, I started the car and again it was kinda weak, but it starts and it didn't need jumpstarting. I was surprised since the battery kept up for a week.
This morning, however, it wouldn't start at all. There is a clicking sound, that's about it. maybe because last night i only started it, but didn't drive it or leave the engine long enough to have the battery charged.
I peeeled off the sticker on top of the battery and added distilled water and drove it for a like 20 minutes or so. still didn't help, the car wouldn't start.
So i went to Monument AutoParts and coughed up $90 for the ACDelco Battery. Installed it and it's working fine now.

French TV broadcaster Canal Plus filed a lawsuit against NDS, which is 80% owned by Murdoch's News Corp. It alleges NDS, which makes security software for TV set-top boxes, 'engaged in a conspiracy' to damage Canal's position in the pay-TV market. The action pits Murdoch against rival Jean-Marie Messier, boss of Canal's owner Vivendi Universal.
NDS said the lawsuit was 'outrageous and baseless'. It plans to file a counter claim and argues that Canal's piracy problem is due solely to its 'inferior' technology. News Corp declined to comment.
The lawsuit could have massive implications for Britain's pay-TV market, where BSkyB (36% owned by News Corp) has a dominant position. Its rival ITV Digital uses Canal Plus 'smart card' technology and has lost tens of millions from piracy problems. ITV Digital is ' considering' whether it can join in legal action against NDS. BSkyB uses NDS software and has not suffered major counterfeit problems.
Canal Plus alleges that NDS 'spent large amounts of money and resources' to crack the code of its digital TV smart card, and then handed over the code to a website frequented by counterfeiters.
ITV Digital has been working with Canal Plus to try to discover how the piracy occurred. ITV Digital said the implications of the Canal Plus claim are 'truly shocking'.
Media analysts at CSFB described the lawsuit as very serious, saying: 'We have all the key ingredients for a high profile case, such as counterfeit, criminal organisations and $1bn in damages.'
NDS shares crashed $5.86 to $17.14, while News Corp fell 94 cents to $29.

U.S. crude down 10 percent post-OPEC, Brent breaks below $70
By Barani Krishnan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude tumbled 10 percent in its biggest one-day drop in more than five years on Friday, and benchmark Brent broke below $70 a barrel, as OPEC's decision not to cut output sent oil traders and analysts scurrying to find a new trading floor.
"I see little reason to buy oil now. I think people are either going to drive it down further or just let the market collapse," said Tariq Zahir, managing member at Tyche Capital Advisors in Hollow Way, New York.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude (WTI: Quote) settled down $7.54 at $66.15 a barrel, and fell further post-settlement, reaching a four-year low of $65.69. The last time the market lost 10 percent in a day was in March 2009.
North Sea Brent LCOc1 finished down $2.43, or 3.3 percent, at $70.15. It fell to as low as $69.78 on the day, a bottom since May 2010. Brent also finished down 18 percent for November for a fifth straight month of declines, or the longest losing streak since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
Since June, Brent has given up about 40 percent of its value, falling from above $115, as increasing U.S. shale oil output helped create a glut amid sluggish global growth.
Friday's selloff culminated a stunning 24 hours on global crude markets, in near free fall after Saudi Arabia blocked calls from poorer members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to reduce production.
With U.S. markets officially closed for Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday, WTI went down about 8 percent in electronic trading overnight. Losses resumed when the New York Mercantile Exchange reopened, with U.S. crude capitulating just before Friday's close.
The risk flight in oil extended to the stock market, with energy shares on Wall Street taking a hammering despite the broader market closing up for a sixth straight week. Continued...

₹ 549 Décathlon
I purchased this bag along with skates. Value for money.
The material used can be of a better quality
Also a better space for the helmet would have been good
The design
The build quality & space
Just what was needed
This bag is brilliant. My girls live their new bags. They are perfect to hold ice skates in along with off ice equipment such as ballet shoes,trainers and skipping rope still with space. Made of strong material. Have seen girls badges into there bags also to personalise them. Only downside is that there isn't a drink holder or net on the side to hold drink. But can get round that by placing bottle in ice skate or trainer to transport.

YOUTH OF THE MONTH: Crystal Bartlebaugh
The Evergreen Boys & Girls Club staff chose Crystal Bartlebaugh as their Youth of the Month for May. Crystal is a seventh-grade student at Penns Manor.
Crystal, 13, is the daughter of Michele Bartlebaugh. She enjoys art, drawing, talking to friends, sports and playing dodge ball. The things Crystal enjoys most about club are the different activities she does and snack time.
When asked what she would tell someone who was thinking about joining club, she said, "Boys and Girls (Club) is fun. They help you with homework and we eat snacks, and also we play games or do physical activity."
Crystal was chosen because she consistently demonstrates the qualities Boys & Girls Club tries to instill in its members.
She makes sure her homework is finished each day, shows respect for herself and others, is always willing to help staff as well as other members, and adheres to Club rules and policies.

My grandmother says she knows he carried it around every time he went duck hunting and that he had a bag of them, she said he has had them for a long time and that they are very old (possibly my great grandfathers) and probably valuable...she doesn't know where the other ones are
i've tried to do some research but there are no markings or makers mark of any kind that i can find.
I'm interested to see what you brilliant old timers might know about these, and if ya got nothin' then enjoy the pics of this old duck decoy
and a bonus pic of my Pappy

Jason started the day out with another visit to the folks at UCSD, and their hyperbaric chamber. They ran in to a small delay, so he didn't get to begin his "dive" until almost a half hour later than planned. Normally that wouldn't be much of an issue, except that today he wanted to head over to the Sports and Family Fun Day at the Naval Base. As it turned out, the treatment went smoothly and we were headed back to the base at just a little after 13:00 (1pm). The events were effectively all done so all we could participate in in the lunch. Of course that wasn't too bad, so we had a nice late lunch. We got there just a little while after Anthony Netto arrived, and he brought along a ParaMobile (aka - ParaGolfer) for Jason to use. I helped get Jason from his wheelchair into the ParaMobile and then Jason took off to go visit with some of the other guys. It was very exciting for me to see Jason getting around in his ParaMobile, and all of the guys who saw it thought it was very cool. It generated a bunch of talk, and several of the guys were very interested in finding out more about it, even those that have no injuries were asking questions. The entire event was over by 14:30 (2:30pm) and we were one of the last to get something to eat - though we weren't the last.
Jason and I got back to the house and he took a shower. With each of the hyperbaric chamber treatments he tends to sweat a great deal. He naturally sweats more than most people and the chamber seems to make him sweat even more. As a result his shirt and shorts tend to be sweaty and he is anxious to get clean and put on clean clothes. We didn't have any other visitors the rest of the day, and perhaps that was a good thing. Jason slept most of the rest of the day, until I did his antibiotics and then dinner. Shortly after that he was sleeping again, so I just let him sleep. Besides it is kind of late now anyway, and I need my beauty sleep... okay, I needs lots of beauty sleep... ;-)
Tomorrow we may get out and try to go somewhere - Anthony invited us to the beach - but it all depends on how he is feeling. I hope to finally get some time to work on the little garden that I wanted to set up for the girls, so I am hoping they get to come over this weekend. Thank you, all for all your prayers and for all the support that continues to come our way.
This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

George, you remain my hero... as does Jason. Please keep us posted on that 200 mile bike ride you mentioned in Thursday's blog. It would be great to get a group to ride for our wounded EOD heroes with you as our leaderReplyDelete

I agree! It would be great with George leading the group. I'll be sure Rob reads this. Thanks for the heads up so maybe Rob can start training for it. When is it??ReplyDelete
Hope you had a good day!

(This week Getaway will be written with the help of 11-year-old Sasha, Fran's niece. We're heading off on a Disney cruise to Alaska.)
Before getting on the Disney Wonder in Vancouver, we headed along the Vancouver waterfront when we came across a bike rental place and decided why not? So off we went past Coal Harbour with its houseboats and views of snow-capped mountains to Stanley Park, a huge park right outside of downtown Vancouver.
We didn't realize we were in for a 5 ½-mile ride around the island when we started on the park's bike trail, but it was relatively flat and really worth doing. Sasha says it wasn't that hard. We passed beaches packed with people enjoying a nice, sunny day with temps around 70. We passed steep cliffs. We saw birds including cranes and seagulls and, Sasha says, a different variety of nature. Loved the mountain views, especially.
It was after noon when we got to the ship. I've been on the Wonder before and was curious what Sasha would think. First thing she seemed to enjoy was the number of kids, including a friendly 4-year-old she chatted with while we were checking in. We headed up to the buffet for lunch, and we both found plenty of choices we liked – funny, our common pick was salmon, which we both found yummy.
Sasha was excited to see the pool. The Edge, the 'tween club was less exciting at first, with not many kids around, but she later hung out there a bit. The club has all sorts of computer games, Wii, X-box, PlayStations and other attractions.
Sailaway was pure Disney, with a big crowd whooping up on deck especially when characters made appearances.
The waiters were really nice at dinner in Parrot Cay, though Sasha says they came on strong (though she later warmed up so much to one waiter she was giving him hugs). She was thrilled to sleep on a bed that comes down from the ceiling as a third berth in our cabin. The cabin has a balcony and the Disney Cruise feature of 1 ½ baths. With Sasha's father joining us too, we were surprised that there was enough storage space for all our stuff (we all three brought big suitcases to Alaska).
Sasha had a late night swim in one of the heated pools before bedtime.

This Guy's Tattoo Actually Plays Music - What!?
Music has always been a form of self-expression, but visual artist Dmitry Morozov is taking it to a whole new level. I mean seriously, a WHOLE. NEW. LEVEL. This is wild and a bit bizarre in my eyes, but super cool.
Morozov created the world's first music playing tattoo by inking himself with a bar code correlated to a variety of musical sounds. Using refurbished parts from a Wii console, he designed a device to scan and broadcast the barcode. By moving his body and manipulating the scanner, Morozov can vary the sounds or "music" his tattoo generates.
The tattoo is only one part of the artist's "Reading My Body" series. According to Morozov, the ultimate goal of his work is to assess "how will people add electronics to their bodies, starting from medical, health, and army purposes to art, sex and education." A tattoo generally says something about the person who wears it. Perhaps with technology tattoos will now also be able to sing something as well.Source: http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/04/this-guys-tattoo-actually-plays-music/

The third full-length album by Edinburgh-based Americana band, The Wynntown Marshals is entitled "The End of the Golden Age" and was released in May 2015.
It follows on from "The Long Haul" (Blue Rose Records, 2013), which was voted 10th 'Best Scottish Album of 2013' by the Scottish Herald, and featured highly in many end-of-year polls in 2013, as well as topping the UK Americana Chart upon its release in August 2013.
In an 8/10 review, Uncut magazine described the album as "whisky-soaked, with blurry echoes of a decelerated Husker Du..." Furthermore, their 2009 debut, "Westerner", was described by respected Dutch magazine 'Heaven' as "the best European Americana album... ever!"
"The End of the Golden Age" sees the band draw more on their Scottish roots to stamp their own uniquely personal take on the 'Americana' genre – the cinematic lyrics on this Caledonian scrapbook tell tales of migrations from Hebridean islands and modern life in the capital city, the sights, smells and sounds of Aberdeenshire fairgrounds, and the rural landscapes of West Lothian.
The music is similarly widescreen in scope and the influences are diverse; the jangling, pile-driving guitars and rich harmonies owing as much to countrymen Teenage Fanclub as to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; the use of effects, horns and occasional synth more reminiscent of Eels, Jim Bryson, and The Weakerthans.
The new album receives a simultaneous release across Europe via German-based Blue Rose Records – arguably Europe's leading Americana/roots label. The Marshals hold the honour of being the first and the only Scottish band to date to feature on the label's roster, where they nestle comfortably alongside such illustrious and established company as Steve Wynn, Shooter Jennings, Sons of Bill, and Bottle Rockets.
Having already supported the Grammy-nominated Sturgill Simpson, Jason and the Scorchers, Chuck Prophet and the Mission Express, The Quireboys, and country legend Marty Stuart, The Wynntown Marshals regularly tour mainland Europe and the United Kingdom as a headline act in their own right, as well as gracing the stages of many of the UK and Europe's top 'boutique' festivals.
Critical acclaim for The Wynntown Marshals:
"Whisky-soaked, with blurry echoes of a decelerated Husker Du... 8/10" - Uncut (UK) Dec 2013
"One of my favourite bands – period!" - No Depression (US) 2013
"A real favourite of mine" - Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2, UK) 2010
"The Marshals' take on Americana and rock 'n' roll just doesn't get old" - Metro (UK) 2014
"A fresh, new, creative & unique concoction" - Hooked On Music (Germany) 2013
"Simultaneously classic, melancholic, evocative & contemporary" - Blue Bottazzi Beat (Italy) 2013
"They really have the potential to conquer the charts & radio" - Maxazine (Netherlands) 2013
"Everything you love about classic country rock" - Glitterhouse Records (Germany) Aug 2013
"A beautiful, classic country sound & a wealth of beautiful songs" - Heaven (Netherlands) July 2013
The Wynntown Marshals:
Keith Benzie: Lead Vocals, Guitars, Harmonica
Iain Sloan: Lead and Rhythm Guitars, Pedal Steel Guitar, Backing Vocals
David McKee: Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals

In early summer, when the leafy tops fall over, lift bulbs from the ground with a garden fork (rather than pulling the tops). Air-dry the bulbs for at least a few weeks, then cut off most of the tops and roots and store in a cool, well-ventilated place out of sunlight.

Wet in wet is the queen of watercolor painting. The reason is that when we paint wet paint into thoroughly wet watercolor paper, the particles of pigment settle out into the little hills and valleys of the paper. This "sedimentation" is what makes watercolor washes so gorgeous. The paint diffuses into the surrounding areas depending on how wet each area is. This gives us the ability to paint soft, slightly out of focus pictures. The technique of wet in wet produces lovely, tranquil works; but they remain visually exciting both from a distance as well as very close up.
The trick to getting this effect is in the paint selection. We select paints for their sedimentary properties. By this we mean the properties of the pigment particles. Some are very light. The light ones do not settle easily and so "migrate" from where they are put and give us the soft, diffuse look. The heavy ones tend to clump, or settle, or both. This "aggregation" of the heavy particles sink into the papers valleys. Every color acts a little differently so the effect is continually changing thereabout the painting. You cannot ask for a lovelier technique.
Wet in wet of this type is not for the beginner, even though many people come to watercolor for just this reason. You need time to get used to your paints and how they feel. You might want to start with my palette, (paint selection), its well thought out.
You might also want to see three of my beginner materials lessons, paint, paper, stretching paper, to better understand what I am doing in this lesson and why.
The colors in this demonstration are the yellow - purple complementary color scheme, with yellow predominating. There are green notes added in a few places. The composition is entirely curvilinear. The negative space is subordinated (smaller) to the positive (larger).
The map shows the location of each of the paints. The group on the left are the sedimentary colors. Those in the right are the non sedimentary colors. The palette is just a cut down ice cube tray.

Every Drop Counts
When you look out over the mountains and valleys of Boone, there appears to be plentiful water resources. However, as we discovered during a recent study, the amount of water available for potable uses is decreasing.
The key principals of water as natural resource are simple: access to water is a basic human right; it is a finite, degradable and irreplaceable resource; the availability of fresh water is subject to nature's laws. Boone's future water security relies on strong citizen involvement and knowledge to reach its goal of water conservation. This is why Boone Town Council recently approved the implementation of a Water Conservation Educational Program. This following links provide information on how you can help the Town of Boone reduce water usage.
Conserving water can help lower your water and wastewater bill, and also helps protect our natural water resources for future generations. Try the indoor and outdoor tips to reduce the water usage in your home and business.
There are many ways you can help protect the natural water resources in your community. Get involved by contacting us at the Public Utilities Department.

Attend the Herff College of Engineering's E-DAY open house and you, too, can experience the thrill of flying a U.S. Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet. The free event will be held Friday, Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Herff College of Engineering on the University of Memphis campus.
The Navy flight simulator's last appearance at the College drew record attendance. The simulator offers virtual realistic, supersonic flight and cutting-edge entertainment technology. Rides provide a pilot's perspective, with all the sights, sounds, and experiences of up-close flying. The 65-foot, 80,000-pound vehicle carries a custom-built, 15-seat motion pod with state-of-the-art digital projection and audio systems.
In addition to the flight simulator, visitors will experience this year's theme of "Consider the Possibilities, Explore Engineering" as they learn more about the impact that engineers have on society and about the research being conducted at the Herff College. Pre-college students will discover what it takes to be an engineer, including what courses they need to prepare themselves for entrance to an engineering program.
Competitions will be held among middle and high school teams, and the winners will receive awards to be donated to their schools. In addition to the competitions, groups may arrange for guided tours. The deadline for registering for team competitions or tours is Nov. 11. To register, call 901-678-4933, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit Web site: www.engr.memphis.edu/EDAY2005.
During the tours, visitors will see demonstrations such as water treatment systems and Internet control of Lego robots, and view exhibits such as computational modeling and particle image velocimetry. They can also learn about earthquakes through the "Shake, Rattle and Stand" presentation, and much more. Individuals can walk through and visit the exhibits at their own pace.
Faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the Herff College will be on hand throughout the open house to answer questions and discuss programs offered at the College. Those programs include biomedical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computing engineering, and mechanical engineering, as well as engineering technology.

Hi Rayne,
read about basic syntax issues in the help browser.
Didn't you realize the syntax error "f==x^3...===0 can not be followed by =0"?
My crystall ball fails terribly.
if you want f to be the root(s) of a polynomial, the value(s) will be
constants. And if you want to plot the values of a polynomial, what does the
"====0" mean. What do 4 "="s mean at all and why do you ask Mathematica if f
is equal to x^3-16x^2+3x+1====0? Where has f been defined? Why don't you care
about syntax errors?
I really do not understand what you want, sorry.

NorthernStar is an excellent representative of the popular IP38 cruiser. The comments from the owners' show how much she has been loved:
"It doesn't get better than NorthernStar. This gorgeous two-owner boat will be your home away from home. Two staterooms, two heads, spacious salon, well-equipped galley, and plenty of storage. IP 38s are blue water boats, some have been as far as Australia and back, though this one has only gone between the Chesapeake Bay and Florida. So far that is. You can fulfill YOUR dreams and take her wherever you wish. She's eager to go!
NorthernStar had one owner from 1992-2001 and she has been ours ever since. The previous owner took her down the Intercoastal Waterway to Florida and back, but she's stayed in the Chesapeake Bay these past 15 years. She has been hauled every winter and lovingly maintained inside and out. We added a B&G autohelm and a portable helm-mounted Garmin GPS Chart plotter, which makes for easy sailing along with the self-tending roller furling staysail and genoa.
We've never needed air conditioning, since the companionway plus all 12 fully openable port holes and 6 hatches are screened (the hatch screens are teak framed). Air conditioning can easily be installed by its next owner if desired.
The gleam on the teak rubrails, toerails, handrails, gunnels and bowsprit show how well they have been cared for. The original sails are well maintained and fit for duty.
As the photos show, the living quarters are almost like new. She has forward and aft berths that sleep two people each, and the sofas in the salon can accommodate three more. The two heads – forward and midships – feed into a single Lectra-san equipped holding tank.
It's as easy to cook in the galley as it is at home, with a propane-fueled oven and three-burner stove plus an Adler-Barbour refrigerator/freezer. The large fold-down table in the salon exposes a beautiful teak cabinet for glassware and other accoutrements when lowered. It makes dining in the cabin a relaxing experience, though our favorite spot is up on deck enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. The comfortable cockpit has its own fold-down table, ice chest and fresh water spray, but the midships deck and the bow are perfect places to lounge as well.
NorthernStar is a dream come true. We know you'll agree!"
I know you will agree as well. NorthernStar is available for inspection right now. Call for a viewing appointment today. Our office is open and you can see her this weekend.
Contact George Sabo, CPYB, C: 301.641.3018; firstname.lastname@example.com
The interior of the Island Packet 38 features large forward and aft staterooms and a spacious central salon and two heads. Beginning forward is an anchor locker in the bow accessed through the forward head. The anchor locker also houses the windlass battery, a DC power supply and saltwater washdown. The forward head compartment has a sink with vanity, shower with wrap-around curtain, marine toilet, plenty of storage, two opening ports and an opening hatch. Next aft is the spacious master stateroom with large Pullman berth to starboard and hanging locker and cabinets to port. There are four large drawers and additional storage compartments under the berth . This stateroom is well ventilated with four opening ports and an overhead hatch. Next aft is the roomy main salon with a bulkhead mounted fold-up dining table with built-in storage. To starboard is an L-shaped settee that converts to a double berth and also provides seating for the aft-facing nav station. To port is a single settee that will sleep one. There is ample storage beneath,behind and outboard of both settees. The aft facing nav station is well equipped and has ample room for electronics and navigation. Across from the nav station is the midships head with a private entrance from the aft cabin as well as from the salon. To starboard is the large U-shaped galley with deep double sinks, 3-burner LPG stove with oven, refrigerator/freezer, deluxe teak dish storage compartments and cutlery drawers. To port of the companionway is the entrance to the spacious aft stateroom with queen berth, storage compartments under, dressing seat, bureau and cedar-lined hanging locker, two opening ports, and opening hatch. All portholes and hatches and the companionway have custom-fit screens. The hatch screens are teak-framed. Both heads and aft berth have "peek-a-boo" blinds.
