Breastfeeding and Adoption
I need some breastfeeding advice. I plan to seek out any info La Leche League has, but I am also interested in personal experiences re: stimulating breast milk production. It looks as if my partner and I may be adopting, as we're unable to get pregnant. This solution is great - we're both very excited about the possibilities, but don't know much about how easy it is to breastfeed adopted infants. Can I prepare myself so that I can start as soon as we have a baby? How similar is it to pregnany-related production in matters of quality and amount? Also, how likely is it that the baby would accept my milk? Thanks for any information.

I can't speak to your question directly, but do want to make sure you know of Bonnie Bruce of the Bay Area Lactation Center. She's the preemminent lactation consultant in the Bay Area and has 20+? years experience. She has the most wonderful demeanor and knows everything there is to know about breastfeeding. The center is located next to Alta Bates at 2999 Regent Street on the ground level facing the street. Their phone number is 204-9703. If anyone can help you and answer your questions, she can!

Very dear friends of mine adopted a child, and the new mother breastfed her for at least a year--and also used lots of donated breastmilk. I believe she got her milk supply going using herbs (and the baby's mouth), and I'm pretty sure they made extensive use of a little pouch-necklace deal with a slender tube that goes into the baby'd mouth along with the mother's nipple. I forget the name of the device. I'd be glad to pass your e-mail address or phone number and request along to them if you like.
From: Joan
When I adopted my first child (he's now almost 11), I very much wanted to breast feed him. I rented the best breast pump available, and while I was waiting for the time to go get him, I pumped and pumped. After many weeks, I only produced one or two drops of milk. At that point, I made a decision that, although it is possible to run tubes to the nipples (which dispense formula), thus partially simulating breast feeding, I would focus my caring for him elsewhere. This turned out to be the right decision--both my babies were ill and severely underweight when they arrived--off the bottom of U.S. percentile charts--and desperately needed large amounts of appropriate formula more than they needed my emotional desire to nurse them. During each of their first months home, they drank enough to gain one pound a week (which barely put them on the charts...). They both quickly became extremely healthy, and are still among the healthiest kids I know--my daughter has missed 2 days of school since September, and my son, none. I know that some women have better luck with stimulating milk production than I had, so my advice is to go ahead and try pumping. But don't get stuck there if it doesn't work well--the point is to serve your baby's nutritional and emotional needs in the best ways available to you as an adoptive parent. My husband and I found many other ways of bonding with our children--there are excellent resources available about this if you need help with ideas.

Re: adoption and breastfeeding - I am part of an adoptive moms group (my daughter is 7 months old) and one of the moms wanted to breastfeed her baby. She worked on this for many months prior to the due date of the baby, but it didn't work for her, unfortunately, and she was really disappointed. I am aware of another couple in which the adoptive mom WAS successful at breastfeeding and found it the most rewarding experience. So just keep in mind that it may or may not work, and be prepared if it doesn't. It takes quite a commitment, by the way, if it does work for you, as there is apparatus (for lack of a better word) that you need to wear to have the supplemental milk and your breastmilk come together at the nipple for your baby to eat.

Hey all,
I recently came across this forum while doing a random google search and am really liking what I see so far. Currently I own an XD(m) in .40, a glock 23 (gasp! it's possible to own both a glock and an XD?!? ), a mossberg 590, and a Romanian WASR 10/63 GP. My next purchase is still undecided, but I am leaning towards an AR-15 clone, possibly DPMS.
Previously I've owned a H&K USP fullsize in .45 ACP, a Ruger P95, and a Winchester 1300 defender. I've spent my entire life around firearms however, firing my first one around the age of 5. My father used to gunsmith and reload,but gave it up as his eyesight became worse with age. I never really needed to buy my own as I could pretty much borrow from him anything I wanted to shoot.
Anyways, glad I found a site where intelligent discussion of firearms and personal safety is the rule and not the exception.

Creating and Sustaining Technical Communication Programs in Colleges and Universities
This Progression Roundtable brings together leading experts (Dr. Karen A. Schriver, Dr. Russel Hirst, Dr. Susan D. Kleimann, Dr. Dianne Atkinson, Dr. Teresa C. Kynell, and Dr. David McMurrey) on academic programs in technical communication. The Roundtable focuses on existing and 'start-up' technical communication degree or certificate programs in community colleges and universities. Presenters will discuss issues such as curriculum development, marketing strategies, student chapters of STC, student and faculty internships, and linkages with industry. Information about existing programs will be made available to all participants.

Education and Training Stem Overview
The field of technical communication is transforming at a rapid rate, responding to scientific and technological advancements, economic pressures, and social changes. This makes our field exciting and challenging. The excitement and challenge is intensified for educators and trainers, because we must stay high on the learning curve in order to help prepare others to meet the challenges and prosper by the changes. At the same time, we must be sure to integrate new knowledge, technologies, and skills with what is valuable in the old rather than simply letting the new displace the old.

Herbert Spencer's Philosophy of Style: Conserving Mental Energy
My article traces the development, chronicles the impact, and explains the essence of Herbert Spencer's "The Philosophy of Style" (1852). Spencer's essay has had a significant influence on stylistics, especially in scientific and technical communication. Although in our generation Spencer's contribution to stylistics is not widely remembered, it ought to be. His single essay on this subject was seminal to modern theories about effective communication, not because it introduced new knowledge but because it was such a rhetorically astute synthesis of stylistic lore, designed to connect traditional rhetorical theory with 19th-century ideas about science, technology, and evolution. It was also influential because it was part of Spencer's grand "synthetic philosophy," a prodigious body of books and essays that made him one of the most prominent thinkers of his time. Spencer's "Philosophy of Style" carried the day, and many following decades, with its description of the human mind as a symbol-processing machine, with its description of cognitive and affective dimensions of communication, and with its scientifically considered distillation of the fundamental components of effective style. We should read Spencer's essay and understand its impact not so much because we expect it to teach us new things about good style, but precisely because: 1) it's at the root of some very important concepts now familiar to us; 2) it synthesizes these concepts so impressively; 3) we can use it heuristically as we continue thinking about style; and 4) it provides a compact, accessible touchstone for exploring--with students, clients, and colleagues--the techniques of effective style for scientific and technical communication. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler [1, p. 314]. . . . the fewer the words are, provided neither propriety nor perspicuity be violated, the expression is always the more vivid [2, p. 333]. However influential the precepts thus dogmatically expressed, they would be much more influential if reduced to something like scientific ordination. In this as in other cases, conviction is strengthened when we understand the why [3, pp. 2-3]. The psychology of language reception is still very imperfectly understood [4, p. 77].

How the East Tennessee Chapter of STC Created, and Administers, Its J. Paul Blakely Scholarship
Every local chapter of any professional society should consider starting up a scholarship. Scholarships are obviously great for students, but they're also great for the people who give them out. You get wonderful PR, a lifeline of new blood, and that inner glow that comes from doing good.
Hirst, Russel. STC Proceedings (2000). Academic>Scholarships>TC
Scientific Jargon, Good and Bad
Scientific and technical jargon--specialized vocabulary, usually Latinate--plays a vital role in scientific and technical communication. But its proper use continues to be a point of discussion because of our concern with audience adaptation, rhetorical exigence, rhetorical purpose, and ethics. We've focused on teaching students--and on convincing scientists, engineers, and other writers/speakers--to gear their specialized language to the recipients of their communication, to the occasion calling for their communication, to what they wish to accomplish through their communication, and to the ethical goals of safety, helpfulness, empowerment, and truth. These are exactly the sorts of things we should be doing. My contribution to this conversation is a reinforce ment and, I hope, an extension of the argument that we should also be teaching and convincing students and professionals: 1) to fully appreciate what makes jargon either good or bad; 2) to carefully distinguish jargon usage from other aspects of scientific and technical style; and 3) to recognize that in every context, even in communication among experts, jargon should be used judiciously--that is, in the most helpful, least taxing way. Jargon, i.e. scientific terminology, is essential for designating new entities for which the language has no name. It makes for economy and for the accuracy and precision required in scientific research [1, p. 319]. Does the excessive use of technical terms impede the advance of science? I think it does. It kills the grace and purity of the literature by means of which the discoveries of science are made known [2, p. 116]. What if it should turn out that we are all jargon makers and jargon users, and that jargon is necessarily involved in the growth and change of language? That we are consumers of jargon as we are eaters of sliced bread? [3, p. 3]. To attempt a definition of jargon threatens unusual dangers [4, p. 69]. The above epigraphs are glimpses into discussions about both the uses of jargon and its definitions. My article enters in on such discussions, offering a point of view about the definitions and about the proper uses of jargon.

The game is loosely based on Greek Mythology, and features the slaughtering of lots of mythical creatures and fighting various popular Olympian gods or one of them wonderful Titans.
Note that this is not the first game in history that features Greek mythology and it definitely is not the first game where a form of God is involved in. Heck, if this is the case then why isn't Xenosaga banned? Or is the term Lost Jerusalem has nothing to do with religion? Why don't they ban Final Fantasy VII? Sephiroth, Jenova anyone?! How about Final Fantasy X? Or the most blatantly controversial Tactics?
Heck, even Legend of Zelda has three deities… oh my the blasphemy!
And God of War contains sex scenes… oooh! Cuz Extreme Volleyball is fine with an all-cast women with breasts so enormous and bouncy they defy all laws of gravity. You don't believe me? Watch this and this.
Well then… if they're banning a GAME, why not as well ban, I dunno, the bars, the night clubs, the alcohol, and maybe close down the prostitution street?! You know where it is! The whole district shakes every night!
Practice what you preach and stop being hypocrites. Don't say this is an Islamic country and ban non-Islamic stuff, then sell books and videos and movies and services that are anything but that!
I understand it is because kids are playing it – but it is an 18+ rated game and for good reason too. Don't ban the game – fine the retail outlets that are selling it to minors!

Setting a Folder's Home Page
By default, a folder will show you a list of what it contains ("standard view"). You can change the "display" of the folder to "select a content item as default view..." to show in place of the default list view.
- Choose select a content item as default view from the green display drop-down menu (you need to be logged in to see the display menu).
- Select the page whose content you want to display for the folder and click "save". The page you select will be excluded from the navigation, as you will not need the same content listed in the navigation twice. Lets say you have a folder titled About Us and in that folder you have a page titled Mission. If you selected the Mission page as the default view of the folder, then Mission would no longer be a sub-category for About Us. But, when you clicked on About Us, you would see the content of the Mission page.
Naming The Default Page
It is recommended that the page that you set as the default view of the folder have the same name as the folder so as not to confuse site visitors. For example, lets say that you have an About Us section of your site that is a folder. If you were to create a page that was to be set as the default view of the About Us folder, then that page should also be titled About Us.
In the above image, the navigation and tile of the page all match, making it easy for site visitors to keep track of where they are in the site.
In the above image, the navigation does not match the title of the page. This may be confusing to site visitors.

You mean a Glock like this:
Glock guy here.
I am the odd ball here. I have to go with the M&P due to its fit, feel, accuracy, reliability and warranty.

I had a P99AS 9mm (old style) in the past...i really liked it a lot but i sold it because i'm not a 9mm fan.
I also owned a HK P2000SK .40 S&W with the LEM Trigger and liked it at least as much as the P99 but had to sell it due to some financial problems.
Tax refund $$$ is coming shortly and I will buy 1 gun...I'm just having a hard time deciding between these to Models. It will be my CCW so being able to get a good Holster is a must. Milt Sparks told me that he doesn't think they make one for the new P99 but that i should call the shop to make sure.
If you are looking for a holster that is specificly designed for the new design, you may be hard pressed. To the best of my knowledge, the muzzles are not different enough demension wise to warrent a full redesigned holster for the new design.
Stop messing around with all this plastic and buy a Colt Gold Cup. You wont be disapointed.
M&P With that said I have never held or fired a P99.
Parts have never been an issue. I have yet to replace anything on any of my P99's. But when my company switched to the P99 I ordered a couple spare striker units, recoil assemblies, and a barrel. S&W was very quick and I had the spares in under a week.
I own a P99 and would choose another, this time in the AS version. It just may be my next purchase. Shoots great and fits perfect in the hand. I have a Comp-Tac Undercover Pro and a Comp-Tac Paddle holster for the P99. It is much more comfortable to carry than my PX4

I have a Bianchi 7L I use for my P99c, but a Galco Fletch is a great holster too. I had a few Fletch holsters for other guns in the past, so I thought I'd try something different. If I was to get another holster, I'd get either a FLETCH or the nice Galco concealable.
Walther seems to be leading. Did SW vote twice?
cute, real cute
Was not me... Only voted 1 time
I actually don't even think I voted in the poll because I couldn't decide which one I'd want next. I think my XD is great and have no plans on getting rid of it, but I wouldn't get another one (yet) because I want a variety of guns.
Edit: I just voted for the XD to help it's numbers.
I own a P99 Titanium and would select the P99 from the choices as I want to get a P99 AS for my second gun.

Additionally, Rice also spoke to Crowley about Benghazi.
On if the U.S. negotiated with terrorists to rescue Sergeant Bergdahl, Rice said, "When we are in battles with terrorists and the terrorists take an American prisoner, that prisoner still is a U.S. servicemen or woman. We still have a sacred obligation to bring that person back."

When Cuomo asked why we would use military action if he can't guarantee that the Assad regime used chemical weapons, Blinken responded, "Because we believe beyond a reasonable doubt, let me use that standard that's familiar to a lot of people… that the Assad regime used chemical weapons against its own people.… The case is clear. It's compelling. It's based on intelligence. It's based on facts. It's based on a lot of public information."

Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., tells Starting Point Anchor Soledad O'Brien that she is touched by President Obama using her father's bible during the Inauguration's swearing in ceremony and is hoping that he addresses reconciliation in his speech.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett (R) makes his case to Starting Point as to why he's suing the NCAA over Penn State sanctions months after his office came out with a statement in July that accepted the penalties as the right course of action.
Gov. Corbett says, "I held off. I didn't want to interfere with the momentum that the team had. Coach O'Brien had done a great job with the team. The final decision to go forward wasn't made until October. The lawsuit then was drafted; we went through many variations. And at the end of the season was when I made my decision that we would announce it."
CNN Anchor John Berman says, "You put football first…. If the case was so important, why not bring it up when you're ready to bring it up. You put football first, which is one of the criticisms of Penn State all along."
Corbett responds, "This is going to be a very long case and the start of that case can easily wait until after the end of the football season, which we did."

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) criticizes Speaker John Boehner for not bringing a Hurricane Sandy relief bill up for a vote on Tuesday because he thinks Boehner wanted to avoid too much spending at one time, opting for a more "obscure" piecemeal plan of lesser payments.
Rep. Pallone says, "I really think that the speaker doesn't care about New York and New Jersey. In other words, we're blue states. The fact of the matter is that he was afraid to bring this up yesterday, in my opinion, because the Tea Party and the right wing did not want to vote for the spending bill for New York or primarily for New York and New Jersey."

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) tells CNN's Soledad O'Brien that he is not going to vote for an expiration of tax cuts for the top two percent.
Rep. Hensarling says, "The President's going to get his revenue one way or the other. House Republicans will do everything we can to minimize the damage to our economy. We know that by raising the rates on the top two brackets, as the President wants to do – Ersnt & Young says will cost middle income workers at least two percent off their paychecks, lose another 700,000 jobs. That's not something Republicans are going to be a part of. But, the president obviously is going to get some revenue. There's nothing we can do to stop that. It's written into current law. But the bottom line is you can't solve this problem through revenue. The President's not being serious. He's moving the goal post. He started out saying he wanted a 'balanced approach.' So, the President's going to get some kind of revenue. I'm not voting for it. But he's going to get it anyway. The question is where are his spending reductions? He hasn't put that on the table."
Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien airs weekday mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.
Israel Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon tells CNN's Soledad O'Brien that Gaza may have a day or two before ground troops move in.

When O'Brien asks what would trigger a ground operation, Ayalon responds, "If we will see in the next 24 to 36 hours more rockets launched at us, I think that would be the trigger."

"Full House" Dudes Pose with Rihanna at "Good Morning America"
Fans of "Full House" got quite a thrill as John Stamos, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier all showed up at "Good Morning America" in New York City today (January 29).
The trio of hilarious costars had a blast during their segment, and Stamos even pulled down his pants to show off his Dannon Oikos-themed boxer shorts for all the world to see.
Given his current status as a Dannon spokesman, John invited his buddies to star in the forthcoming Super Bowl commercial that involves yogurt, his trousers and a pretty woman.
And before they left, Saget, Coulier and Stamos all got a chance to hang out with musical guest Rihanna, who was clearly excited about her good fortune.

- - Hello from Washington! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/introductions-welcome-mat/420545-hello-washington.html)
Hello from Washington!
Hi everyone! My name is Sydni and I have an 8 month old black GSD named Valkyrie. My family had German shepherds growing up so it was a breed that I had experience with and I couldn't be happier that we chose one for our first dog as a new family. We have had some tribulations though, as the week after my husband left on deployment, Valkyrie was attacked by my parents' GSD and suffered a broken leg. She has had two surgeries so far, but you wouldn't know it with how active and happy she is. She goes to doggy daycare once a week and loves training. She loves to play fetch all day and walking around the house squeaking her toys. :) I don't have any human children yet, but I consider Valkyrie my first child.

Kings and Queens
by Eleanor Farjeon, Herbert Farjeon (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I adored this book when I was a child, so much so that a lot of it got stuck in my memory. The book has a one page biography of each of England's reigning kings and queens since 1066. The biographies are in verse, and are highly memorable. Recently, when reading a book about Edward !!, a few lines began to tinkle in the back of my mind -- "Favours he lavished on/Pretty Piers Gaveston/ Giving him duchies and riches and rings". An internet search let me to this book, and how delighted I am to have found it again! A wonderful present for a young person with a passion for English history, or for an old person who was such in the long, long ago.

Facebook's new features remain unpopular
The more you use Facebook, the less likely you are to be concerned about privacy invasion.
That's the core finding of a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll telephone survey last week of more than 2,000 adults.
"I really don't care if people know about the stuff I like," says Danny Jackson, 46, of Maine, who uses Facebook several times a day to check in with friends and to play FrontierVille, a popular Facebook-based game.
Only 26% of respondents who use Facebook at least daily said they were "very concerned" about privacy, compared with 35% who use the social network at least once a week, and 39% who use Facebook less often.
Even so, Facebook's next-generation services have put the popular social network, which claims 800 million users, in the privacy hot seat. The company has begun testing "Timeline," a way to digitally map members' entire online lives. It is also testing "Open Graph" applications that automatically share notices about websites visited and content accessed.
Civil rights groups, privacy advocates and several politicians have asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Facebook's tracking technologies.
Still, only 34% of poll respondents who use Facebook less than once a week were aware of the new features. Not surprisingly, 87% of those polled who use Facebook daily said they noticed the new features.
Of Facebook users who have noticed the new features, 56% said they dislike them vs. 36% who said they like them.
Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes says the company tracks members only with their permission and has done much to "offer people transparency, choice and control over how their data is shared."
But some technologists worry about Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft and others racing to develop businesses based on amassing vast amounts of data about what people do on their PCs and mobile devices.
"It's kind of a gold rush mentality, and (tracking) data is becoming the holy grail," says Craig Spiezle, executive director of the non-profit Online Trust Alliance.
Some avid Facebook users like Alex Martin, 20, a student at Texas A&M University, are taking it upon themselves to preserve privacy. Martin closely monitors photos and comments posted about him by friends.
"I'm not afraid to ask someone to remove a picture or comment about me that I don't approve of," says Martin. "I don't want people to post things that aren't true or can tarnish my reputation."
Of those polled, 48% had a Facebook page. Of that group, 30% are on several times a day, while 29% say they visit the site at least once a day.
The USA TODAY/Gallup Poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

New York wedding planners brace for same-sex boom
By Bernd Debusmann Jr.
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - New York City's event planners are gearing up for a surge in business after the Empire State embraced same-sex marriage and hundreds of couples rush to tie the knot.
In New York City alone, 800 couples were married within hours after New York became the sixth state to make same-sex unions legal on July 24.
"We've been getting a lot of phone calls," said Harriette Rose Katz, a New York City events planner. "I think we're going to get more and more and more out of this. I honestly think it will be a big surge for our business."
Among the New York same-sex wedding events that Katz is planning for the marriage of Bill White, the former president of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York, and commercial insurance broker Bryan Eure, on September 25 with a roster of high-profile guests including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, George W. Bush and General David Petraeus.
In another sign of changing times, Katz is also planning the first bar mitzvah of the child of same-sex parents.
Bentley Meeker, a lighting specialist who most recently did the wedding event of New York City mayoral aides John Feinblatt and Jonathan Mintz, which was presided over by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, also said he expects a swell in his business.
"It's too early to quantify ... but I think we're going to see a hump, where a lot of people are going to get handled quickly," he said. "Then it will settle into normalcy, and will become a complete part of the fabric of the wedding industry."
But in the meantime, he expects increased demand for his services. Continued...

Going Where No Man Has Gone Before
Black Hole
Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers confirmed the discovery of the largest black hole on record, in the galaxy NGC 4889, with a mass of 22 billion suns. We know little about black holes other than that they once were massive stars, now imploded. That's not entirely dissimilar to the world's debt crisis. The IMF estimates that the sum of all worldly debt is more than $55 trillion.
Space Insurance
Germany's Allianz will offer space travel insurance to "ordinary astronauts" who have signed up for commercial space trips. Virgin Galactic says more than 450 people have reserved seats for $200,000 trips to suborbital space.
Seed Money
NASA's moon program ended with the 135th space launch on July 8 and a tab of about $1.5 billion a mission.
Double Sunset Inn
The existence of a world with two suns, as portrayed in the film Star Wars, is now scientific fact, and clearly an opportunity for the Four Seasons Hotels.
Golden Showers
New theory describes the Late Heavy Bombardment era, between 3.8 billion and 4.1 billion years ago, when meteorites rained material onto Earth, bringing tons of gold, tungsten, and other precious elements.
Off-World Colony
A newly discovered planet, Kepler-22b, averages a comfy 72F and probably has water and land for second-home development. Its star could almost be a twin of the earth's sun. Florida, though, is 600 light-years closer.
Martian Water
NASA discovered that water flowed through Mars. Underground aquifers could revive the $100 billion bottled water industry.
In September a missing moon rock was found among papers documenting former U.S. President Bill Clinton's time as governor of Arkansas.
Wanted: Alien Invasion
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said on CNN that a good space alien scare could stimulate the economy by spurring a massive defense buildup.
The God Particle
Higgs boson, the most important almost-discovery in the history of man, could vindicate the theory of how elementary particles gain mass.
Shields Up
"Without adequate preparation, we would basically lose our civilization in a matter of seconds," says Newt Gingrich on the possibility of a nuclear blast in space above the U.S.
Loss Leader
NASA announced that Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is on the verge of becoming the first man-made object to leave our solar system for "cosmic purgatory."
Solar Revenue
A woman in Spain claims ownership of the sun and plans to tax users.
The Sky, With Diamonds
Astronomers have spotted a planet made largely of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists calculate a large part of this planet will be diamond. Greece has issued a Request for Proposal for mining operations.

Modern Russia has dismantled the gulag prison system that was common during the era of the Soviet Union, but too many vestiges of the old remain in the modern. President Dimitry Medvdev struck a blow a the current system which human rights activists claim is rife with corruption and brutality by firing Deputy Justice Minister Yury Kalinin, who heads prisons. Lev Ponomaryov, a leading rights activist in 2008 charged Kallinin with being the "author of a sadistic system of torture" and the courts ordered him to retract the statement or perhaps wind up in a position to obtain first hand evidence about the torture. Just this month, seven St. Petersburg prison officials were charged with using their positions in order to inflict sexual violence on prisoners.
There are over 900,000 people in jail in Russia which is a comparable figure to those incarcerated in the USA. Despite cruelty and abuse in American jails, the situation in Russia is far worse. The issue now is whether Medvedev will appoint someone who seeks to clean up the filth and corruption inherent in Russian prisons.

Indiana Teacher of the Year Reviews the Primer UPDATED
Why I'm Not Too Worked Up About Common Core
The history of compulsory schooling in the United States resembles the political history of Latin America, only its successes are fewer and shorter-lived. It is replete with failure, reform, reform of the reform, and more failed reform.From the Common School Movement in the 1830's, founded by Horace Mann, to the Common Core of today, there are identical language and themes along with unrealized and misguided aspirations throughout.If you look at the reforms stretching from National Defense A … [Read more...]
Lessons from a Veteran, Teacher
National holidays tend to bring out the most annoying personality traits of the mirror-imaged two sides --- the liberals and the conservatives --- that clutter the public discourse of this country. Sadly, I have a tendency to get caught up in that song and dance, too. But this misses the real opportunity that any holiday brings: a chance to recall stories, lives, and lessons, rooted in the person, not the ideological accoutrements.

6 (-2) Reasons to NOT Send Your Son to College
<Editor's note: the original post had six reasons but then two of them seemed to be true so it was reduced down to four.>Most students in college would be much happier if they could buy their credentials at K-Mart and then train on the job and get started.

Compulsory Schooling and Preventative War — Or, Why Children Have to Go to School
In the secular liturgical cycle of the American year, two seasonal certainties stand out: going to school and filing taxes. In the late summer and early fall, we send our children to school under penalty of law. (Even students at charter, private, or home schools are still under the same structural authority, leveraged by truancy laws, as those who attend public schools.) In the late winter and early spring, we file taxes under similar legal compulsion.We all know that truancy and tax evasion … [Read more...]

Sex Miseducation: Abstinence Doesn't Make Sense UPDATED
Calah Alexander has written a powerful essay about the psychological and spiritual violence that is often inflicted on women by abstinence-only sex education.Read it.Since I seem to be in a womanist mood these days, I'd like to fully endorse her argument and bolster it with a very simple addition: teaching fertile females and virile males to abstain from having sex is crazy.

Constructivism and Its Discontents: An Interview
About a month ago, I was interviewed by one of my doctoral students, Emmanuel Mensah, for his qualitative social science research project on constructivism and teaching.

The Teacher-Centered Classroom
Last week I gave two talks at Wabash College. The second talk was unfortunately not recorded.

moving washing machine, sink and dryer
1 Attachment(s)
We have remodeled our laundry room to expand its size and now need to shuffle the appliances around on the same wall where they have been. I'm going to attempt to attach a photo. The dryer needs to move 6.5 feet away from its gas hook up and vent (vent in its previoius position went directly through brick wall outside). I'd like to move the washer next to dryer (which requires moving it about 27 inches over). Electrical has already been moved. However, moving the washer will cover up the plumbing for the sink and will leave the recessed washer valves exposed over the top of where I would like to put a nice in -counter sink. I received a quote today to move the plumbing, dryer vent and gas line. The problem is that the quote was $3,000. I'm hoping someone can advise me of another way. I did ask the heating/plumbing guy who gave me the quote how much it would be to only move the dryer vent and gas line ($1,000). Then I would just leave the washer and sink where they were - not ideal but better than a huge expense. However, I'm wondering if I could just increase the size of the gas line and/or dryer vent? I would also love to know if anyone can think of a more economical way to still switch the places of the washer and sink. Thank you! :)

Knoch girls basketball team needs underclassmen to step up
Knoch's preseason girls basketball practices have been well-attended, much to the satisfaction of coach Sean O'Donnell.
But the onslaught of participation has the fourth-year coach's mind churning. So many lineup possibilities, so little time.
Inexperience and larger numbers have given him options.
"We're trying to figure out who fits best with who," O'Donnell said. "We have some good defenders and some girls who can score the basket. It's about feeling out the right combination. Part of me likes it this way. I love when it's wide open. It makes all of them better."
Knoch was 5-17 last season and averaged 32 points. O'Donnell has to replace leading scorer Sam Logan (10 ppg), who graduated and is running track at Robert Morris.
Although O'Donnell admits the team could be offensively challenged, alterations to past schemes will be minimal.
"We're not going to scale things down," the coach said. "We'll change some things but not a whole lot."
The Knights might employ a slower, more deliberate style.
"As a whole, I think we'll end up better than last year," O'Donnell said. "I think we have the pieces to maybe be more cohesive."
Senior 5-foot-10 forward Savanna Steffen returns with plenty of varsity time, and Angela Cress, a 5-2 guard, also comes back along with junior guard-forward Abbie Thrower.
Knoch has a number of sophomores looking to make an impact, including forwards Alle Megahan and Maddie Canel and guard Alyssa Logan.
"We're getting there," O'Donnell said. "We haven't seen the results in wins and losses, but there have been a lot of improvements. And interest is up."
O'Donnell also expects juniors Erica Hunter and Mackenzie Rodgers and sophomore Emily Robb, a key defender, to see time.
Knoch often has a pep band at boys home games but rarely bangs the drums when the girls play. O'Donnell wants that to change, but he also wants unfiltered noise on the court.
"I want girls who are hard-nosed and want to win," O'Donnell said. "But we need someone to be a leader. Our gym is too quiet. We need someone to make noise and take charge."

Just put this baby on layaway! Taurus PT1911 AL .45
Can't wait to pk it up, my 1st .45.Read alot of good reviews even though there's
alot of Taurus bashers out there,I have had 3 good ones.
There is a Taurus 1911 thread on here somwhere. I recommend against it. I have one. Also had a PT-140. I am not a basher who's never had a Taurus. That's all I gotta say.
over the years i have owned many taurus guns. some where bad, some had small problems, some need some f&b, and some were ok. just never know which i would get untill i got it to the range. now this was many mango season ago. heard they have gotten better with their guns.
Congratulations on the layaway. I have three Taurus and have not had any problems with any of them.
I had a PT 911 not the 1911 mind you. I put 1000's of rounds though it with no issues. Now days Taurus makes a good gun.
Congrats on the new 1911.
Congratulations. Hope it serves you well!
Curious as to why you're starting another thread saying basically the same thing?
Good luck with your Taurus...I hope it serves you well too.
I have looked at them but the only prices I have seen could get me a Springfield, and I would rather have a Springer... what'd you pay? Heard good things about RIA and mixed on the Taurus, let us know how it does periodically!
I have one and can honestly say you want be sorry one bit. Shoots fantastic and I am a lousy shot. HA HA
Congrats on the new pistol.
Thanks all for your reply's pro taurus or not and as for staring a new thread similar to another,donn't reply if it bothers you.I'm just trying to educate myself on weapons that i would like or have purchased by reading feedback from y'all.My decision is mine but it's nice to know others are interested in helping with a weapon purchase.That's why i joined this forum.
Thanks all,
Congrats on your first 1911...you'll love it!:yup::bier:

Haiti earthquake refugees trade golf course camp for humble homes
By Amelie Baron
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The tents are gone and clean up crews are grooming the grounds of the Petionville country club golf course, which served as a camp for 60,000 people made homeless by Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake.
The camp, on Haiti's only golf course, closed last week after the refugees were relocated, according to J/P Haitian Relief Organization, the group co-founded by actor Sean Penn that set up and ran the camp for four years.
The earthquake left almost 1.5 million people homeless in what was already the poorest country in the Americas.
While the camp's closure marks a milestone in Haiti's recovery from the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, J/P HRO said this week that its work in Haiti was far from over.
"We are continuing to build and rehabilitate homes so people can return to their neighborhoods," said Gary Philoctete, director of Haiti Operations for J/P HRO. "There are still a lot of people living in other camps and we are committed to helping those families as well."
According to the government, at least 147,000 people are still living in temporary relief camps, mainly on small parcels of private land around the capital. They face being evicted by landowners.
Hours after the January 12, 2010, earthquake, people who had lost their homes began migrating to the golf course. J/P HRO was declared manager of the camp by the United Nations, providing food, shelter, medical and educational services. Continued...

dont be like me and fall into the trap that the high dollar gun is gonna make you a better painter cause its not, I fell into the Sata rp trap, and yes its a very well built gun, If I did this for a living it was well worth the price however I just cant justify the expense since Im a weekend painter, every time I look at it I get a bad feeling at how much I spent on it, I get the same finish with my hf and tuul shed guns...
There was a similar discussion on another board. This was posted by a pro
painter, its a interesting read.
A link for reference.
Here is the real truth about Harbor Freight gravity feed HVLP spray guns. Keep in mind that I'm a professional painter with 35 years full time experience. I'm not a "tool snob" or a person who uses certain name brand tools to try and impress other people. I have a couple Taiwani tools (most of my tools are American made for obvious reasons). Now, back to the HF HVLP guns. I bought an HF graivty feed HVLP gun because it was on sale for $39.00 a couple years ago and I was curious about the quality of craftsmanship used in making the gun but more importantly I was curious as to how well the gun was capable of spraying different paints. I used the gun several different times with different types of paints. It did an excellent job with primers (epoxy and urethane mainly). It did an excellent job with lacquer and acrylic enamel topcoat paints in solid and metallic colors. However - it fell sorely short when it came to spraying acrylic urethane single stage or clearcoats. Here is why - its true the gun is a taiwani copy of an expensive German Sata HVLP gun. BUT the Sata gun they copied was the Sata NR-92 - which was a crappy gun to start with. It did a poor job of properly atomizing urethane topcoat paints (which require finer atomization that say lacquer or acrylic enamel). If the original expensive Sata NR-92 did a crappy job with urethane topcoat paints then you can't blame the taiwani knock-offs of doing a crappy job also. What you can expect from a HF Gravity feed HVLP spray gun when shooting acrylic urethane single stage or clearcoats -- excessive orange peel and/or runs, usually both in in the same paint job. The guns are just not capable of fine enough atomization for that type of paint.
The guy in that article who stated " many professionals use the HF gravity feed HVLP guns for panel painting urethane paint " had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about. NO professional painter would use one of those guns to panel paint anything while spraying urethane topcoat paints.
So the bottom line is that they make excellent primer guns and good guns for lacquer or acrylic enamel. But they just can't measure for spraying urethane topcoat paints. Keep in mind that I can spray paint with just about any gun and get acceptible results (within reason). I gave that Hf spray I bought to a buddy of mine who uses it for a primer gun. I was actually impressed with how well the gun was machined and I was impressed with how well it spray everything BUT urethane topcoat paints. DON'T buy that gun expecting to get good results spraying a BC/CC paint job, if you do you will be disappointed with how the paintjob turns out. That applies ever more to novices and hobbiests who don't have a working knowledge from years of spraying paint with different guns.
5dogs, Exactly my point, My daughter's Mustang is as slick as you could hope for and it was done with the HR gun. I did not know a heck of a lot about paint guns when I got into this hobby and maybe I still don't but before I started I knew nothing about what to look for and would have had no idea of what features on a gun would be important to me. As I said the "purple" gun is a cheap way to learn
X, Ok now from a novice point of view (me ) You are are trying to say this gun just simply WILL NOT spray clear coat very well but I have found that even with my limited experience that is just not true. All these people that like this gun do so for a reason and that reason is, like it or not, the dang thing does spray well. I can afford any gun I want and price was not the reason I bought the HR gun, I heard a lot of good reviews about it and decided it was the way to go until I knew which "real" gun I wanted (the IWATA) and I was very pleasantly surprised at the results I got from this thing. For the occasional painter or someone on a very tight budget this thing can be just the ticket since you most certainly can lay down a slick finish with it.
If that guy has been a painter for 35 years, he should make any kind of gun work regardless of what type it is and what he is shooting, if a person has 400 hundred to blow on a gun god bless him, but for the hobbiest such as 99 % of the people here, I think the point is being missed here, that for a person that is gonna do 1 or 2 projects, its silly, and yes im calling myself silly to cause I did it , to blow 400 plus dollars on a gun thats gonna be used once in a while ...
5dog, I appreciate your honesty. Most people just play it safe and buy what everyone else is buying, regardless if they need the expensive gun or not.
Well guys.. good points all around. Hey to each there own. If you like it
spend the $50.00 if it works thats cool.
My point was I guess for a newbie, you may have a better chance with a
higher quality gun. For example.. You have a project to do and your new to painting. You go out and drop the cash on good quality paint, and then you
run into problems laying down the paint..
Now imho that can discourage a new painter from even trying again.
You could use the low cost gun to practice technique of applying the
coating and gain a little experience that way. For $50.00 you really cant
go too far wrong I guess.
As I said above, to each their own.. Thats why there are so many flavors of
ice-cream, something for everyone
One thig that will really save your day is "Know the viscosity of the material"
before you spray it.. Get the viscosity down correct for your spraying temp
and your over 1/2 way there.
Well like I've said before, about these HF guns, and most import cheapies,
There's a world of difference between these guns on a given brand.
The quality can vary a lot from one to the other right off the shelf.
You may get one that sprays great and the one right next to it not
spray good no matter what you do. I have had that happen to me.
Their quality control is lousy and it varies all over the place.
So if one guy talkes about how good or bad a gun is, it may be just the
one he got.
when doing it yourself and saving several thousand dollars on the cost of the paint job i don't think a few hundred more invested in a good gun is not out of the question to me. my point is IF you have any intension of being a painter or doing it to make extra money why spend the time learning with a cheap gun only to have to relearn when you get a new gun. a quality gun will save you time and materials thus paying for itself. my tools make my living so their cost are irrelevant.if you've never shot with a top shelf gun it's hard to imagine the difference. the difference is between putting down a slick thin coat or a thick coat with urethane peel. my biggest grip on the hf gun is it weighs a ton
reselling paint guns
I wondered if I could "rent" a good gun for a few months and then resell it on ebay and come out ok? But after selling items for 1/4 of the price of idenditical items on ebay, I began to wonder if there is a trick to getting your price? Anyone have luck with this. Though I really dont need a $400 Iwata hanging on the mantle, I would just a soon keep one if it only brought $200. ( I never did spring for one)
Shine does have a good point, to me there is no comparison with my HF guns to my IWATA for both the way it sprays and the way it feels still the HF gun will do a good job and some guys may be stretching their budget almost to the breaking point just to buy the material. I would agree that $400-$500 for a gun is not all that much when compared to top of the line paint and material but for the same reason some people have to use a cheaper grade of material the HF guns may make sense, just a matter of economics. As I said earlier I bought the HF gun because so many people recommended it and I was not sure which "real" gun to choose so I considered it a learning tool that worked out real well, for me anyway, and I think most guys who plan on doing one or two jobs with the economy finish material will find this thing more than adequate.
gun on Ebay to start with,
you probably can get most of your money back by reselling it.
If you watch, you'll get a feel for what an item sells for and can get that
when you sell it, if you're skeptical you can always run it with a min price.
I buy and sell stuff on ebay all the time and the prices for a popular name
brand item generally run pretty consistent.
lvlp spray gun
Thanks to all who replied. The Iwata would cost me $427, the 43430 cost me $49. It is my garage now.If I must , I'll hookup 2 compressors to shoot my car.That is what I do when sandblasting. It works,,THANKS AGAIN, 35olds,BOB

Bistro Montage
The kitchen bustled behind teenage Enosh Kelley as he stood over the sink, dutifully scrubbing pots and pans while dreaming of becoming a chef. From those humble origins, recounted in his Metromix profile, Enosh has grown into an internationally renowned culinary artist lauded by reporters from the Wall Street Journal and nominated as best Midwest chef by the James Beard Foundation. Pulling from his training at the Culinary Institute of America, Enosh folds local ingredients into a French-inspired menu, favoring classics such as hand-cut pomme frites, duck orange, and gâteau marjolaine.
Nestled in the heart of the historic Ingersoll Avenue district, Enosh's restaurant—Bistro Montage—is a fitting canvas for his fine French creations. Plates pair with glasses of wine on white-clothed tables. Nearby, framed artwork speckles the brick-red walls, and long, flowing curtains dangle from the windows to keep the lighting dim and intimate while providing a convenient hiding place for guests on disappointing blind dates.

Storylines: Rockies ink De La Rosa to an extension
Top Stories
- Tuesday's loss to the Tigers looked as if it spelled doom for the Tribe and their division and playoff hopes. In two games they were outhit by Detroit 39-15 and the bullpen showed their exhaustion. It was painfully obvious after Cody Allen gave up a three-run home run to J.D. Martinezto give the Tigers the 4-2 win and a 2-0 series lead. However, Danny Salazar and the Tribe offense showed no signs of giving into the pressure on Wednesday. Salazar threw his first complete game shutout against the vaunted Tigers bats. He dropped his ERA from 4.23 to 3.80 and had nine strikeouts and no walks. His fastball was electric and his changeup fell off the table all night long.
- While Salazar shutout the Tigers, the other big story was the reawakening of the Tribe bats. Jose Ramirezwent 3-for-4 after going 0-for-8 in the two previous games. Carlos Santana started off the game as he did on Tuesday by hitting a two-run homerun off of Justin Verlander for his 24th of the year. Verlander threw 108 pitches in only 6.2 innings and gave up seven runs. The Indians are the only team that he has the most losses against in his career at 9-12. Hopefully this is the spark the Indians need to continue their playoff push as they finish up the series on Thursday with Detroit and get ready for the Chicago White Sox.
Tribe News
- Josh Tomlin was activated off of the paternity list since being placed there on Sunday. He is now the 11th reliever in the bullpen.
Other News and Notes
- Milwaukee Brewers scouting director Bruce Seid passed away at the age of 53. The cause of death is unknown.
- The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed former Tribe outfielder Aaron Cunningham.
- Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports that Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro could miss the rest of the season with a high ankle sprain. Castro is hitting .292 with 14 HR and 65 RBI.
- According to Buster Olney of ESPN, The Boston Red Sox plan to have third basemen Will Middlebrooksplay winter ball. This means that he likely won't get traded during the offseason.
- The Colorado Rockies have agreed to a two-year extension with lefty Jorge De La Rosa. The deal is for $25 million with $12.5 million guaranteed. De La Rosa is 13-10 with a 4.26 ERA and 119 strikeouts.

Psychic scammers find fertile haunting ground in Internet age
By Jeffrey B. Roth
GETTYSBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - As pre-Halloween witches and ghouls sprout up on U.S. lawns, experts are warning people to be wary of modern occult scammers who have moved online to hawk virtual voodoo dolls, revenge spells and otherwise "haunted" items.
While the idea of spending money for a magic spell - to help with an endeavor or to inflict pain on an enemy - has been around for centuries, experts say the anonymity of online transactions can encourage people who would otherwise never think of visiting a storefront psychic to fall for a con.
"It's a new twist on an old idea," said Nicholas Little, legal director of the Center for Inquiry, a Washington-based nonprofit that promotes secular and rational thinking. "It's easy to hide your identity on the Internet, so people are willing to try scams online that they would never be willing to try in person."
While most scammers offer items in the small-dollar range - selling allegedly haunted items on auction sites for under $10 - some go for large sums of money. A Manhattan woman running a fortune-telling business earlier this month was found guilty of conning two women out of $138,000, claiming that the funds would be used to solve problems related to their past lives.
Alexandra Holzer Gargiulo, daughter of paranormal researcher and author, Hans Holzer, is publishing a 50th anniversary edition of her father's book "Ghost Hunter." She said paranormal scams prey on people who are "desperate for answers."
Television shows that depict investigators using gadgets such as electro-magnetic field detectors to document evidence of paranormal activity have driven up demand for those items, Gargiulo said. She added that the shows have also sparked growth in the number of self-proclaimed paranormal investigators, who charge homeowners as much as $1,500 to rid their homes of spirits.
The law relating to such activities is not always definitive, Little said, noting that fortune-tellers and others who offer occult services often use a "for entertainment purposes only" disclaimer to prevent legal problems.
Even as people who sell occult services move online, some continue to run storefronts, offering psychic readings for a small fee and trying to talk customers into paying more to resolve problems. Continued...

He said: "It's a good birthday - because a lot of the bigger questions are answered.
"I'm married with kids, all the things I was worried about at 30 I don't worry about any more."
Though Matt is content with his personal life, he still has professional ambitions he wants to achieve - including working with his friend Ben Affleck again.
He told Empire magazine: "You don't always get to work with the people that you want to. I mean, I haven't worked with Ben in years and he's my best friend."
Matt and Ben shot to fame after co-writing and starring in 'Good Will Hunting' together in 1997.
The movie earned them the Oscar for Best Writing in 1998.
