Are you considering homeschooling your child? You can do it! As you get started, it's important to make sure you comply with the education laws where you live. This page helps you understand how to homeschool legally in Montana—step by step.
If your child is 7 years of age or older before the first day of public school, your child must attend school until the later of the following dates: (a) his or her 16th birthday; or (b) the date your child completes his or her 8th-grade schoolwork.
HSLDA believes that a parent-issued diploma and transcript should be sufficient to demonstrate that a child has completed a secondary education. However, even if your child is beyond compulsory school attendance age, there may be situations where you would want to continue to follow the requirements of a home education option recognized under Montana law until your child graduates from high school (filing a home education notice, keeping attendance and other records, etc.). These records may be requested in some situations, such as obtaining a driver's license if your child is a minor, enlisting in the military, applying to colleges, or demonstrating eligibility for Social Security benefits. If you are a member of HSLDA and would like additional details, please contact us.
If you want to start homeschooling during the school year and your child is currently enrolled in a public or private school, HSLDA recommends that you formally withdraw your child from that school. If you are going to start homeschooling after the school year is over, and your child is considered enrolled for the following year, we recommend that you withdraw your child before the next school year begins, so that the school does not mark your child as absent or truant.
We invite you to become a member of HSLDA to receive specific advice about withdrawing your child from school and starting to homeschool. Local schools may have specific forms or withdrawal procedures. HSLDA members are eligible to receive individualized advice about whether complying with those procedures is advisable or required. HSLDA members can also use the sample letter of withdrawal for Montana available in Member Resources to correspond with school officials.
We generally recommend that any correspondence with authorities be sent by "Certified Mail—Return Receipt Requested." Keep copies of the withdrawal letter and any other paperwork or correspondence, and any green postal receipts, for your personal records.
Note: If your child has never attended a public or private school, this section does not apply.
To homeschool in Montana, follow these steps:
During every "school fiscal year" (July 1–June 30), you must notify the superintendent of schools of the county where your homeschool is located that your child is being homeschooled. HSLDA members may download a notice of intent form from our website.
You must keep a record of your child's days in attendance at your homeschool. You must also keep a record of your child's disease immunizations (or a medical or religious exemption from immunizations). You must make these records "available" to the county superintendent on request.
Your child must receive at least 720 hours of instruction per school fiscal year in grades 1–3. He or she must receive at least 1080 hours of instruction per school fiscal year in grades 4–12.
Your homeschool must provide an organized course of study that includes instruction in the basic subjects required to be taught in Montana public schools. These include:
Make sure your home complies with all local health and safety regulations applicable to homes.
You can find Montana's specific recordkeeping requirements, if any, above. Regardless of what state you live in, HSLDA recommends that you keep detailed records of your homeschool program. These records may be helpful if you face an investigation regarding your homeschooling or your student needs to furnish proof of education.
These records should include attendance records, information on the textbooks and workbooks your student used, samples of your student's schoolwork, correspondence with school officials, portfolios and test results, and any other documents showing that your child is receiving an appropriate education in compliance with the law. You should maintain these records for at least two years. You should keep your student's high school records and proof of compliance with the home education laws during the high school years (including any type of home education notice that you file with state or local officials) on file forever. HSLDA's high school webpage has additional information about homeschool recordkeeping.
HSLDA is a national advocacy organization that supports the right of parents to educate their children at home. We are dedicated to protecting the legality of your homeschool while equipping you to successfully teach your children.
HSLDA members have 24/7 phone and email access to our staff of attorneys and legal assistants, who can help you understand the homeschool law in your state and will go to bat for you if a school official or other authority challenges your homeschool. Our 80,000 members—families like you!— also receive personalized advice on everything from homeschooling a high schooler to teaching a child with special needs from our team of education consultants.
Please note: The information on this page has been reviewed by an attorney, but it should not be taken as legal advice specific to your individual situation.

Sportswear was given a tough and edgy twist with deconstructed trousers and jackets finished with bold cut outs and laced inserts
After a season showing his A/W11 collection to buyers in London; Scottish designer Graeme Armour was back in New York, his spiritual home, for S/S12. Armour's M.O. is a dark remix on sportswear, something deeply embedded in the DNA of American design. This translated to cropped and padded leather jackets, deconstructed trousers and jackets that were expertly sliced and insert with tartan lace panels, often paired with a baseball cap, betraying the tough origins of the Graeme Armour girl. There was a new sense of ease with liquid flowing silk tops and an asymmetric lurex sweater but the mood remained sober and monochrome. That is until Armour introduced a jolt of electricity to the proceedings with the introduction of fuchsia, inspired he said by the work of the late modernist British artist, Margaret Mellis.
Dazed Digital: What was the starting point for the season?
Graeme Armour: There was no big theme this season - it was more about the development of last season with more thought, customer consideration, refinement and a new lightness to the GA woman.
DD: How did you come across the work of Margaret Mellis and how did that inspire the collection?
Graeme Armour: I was actually on the train to Coventry to pick up shoe last and there was a small piece on her in the paper, as there was a new book out. I began looking into her and loved the graphic shapes and blocking she uses, though very loose in parts which I could never be as I'm too anal. Her work created lines and details within the collection that are not obvious but there. The most obvious look would be the multi suit colour blocking.
DD: The leather work is part of your signature – how did you explore working with it this season?
Graeme Armour: We tried to make it more feminine with the cut and shape this season but kept it tough with the padding and zippers. So there was more thought than normal.
DD: Were the cut-outs and mesh inserts a way of thinking about lightness for Spring/summer?
Graeme Armour: Maybe, we used a lot of lightweight sandwash silks something that we generally don't use so there was a lightness there. The tartan lace tulle inserts were a softer way for summer than black mesh. We are always looking for a new mesh and thought this worked for the season to add french chic lace in a sporty modern way.
DD: The girl you dress seems like a tough street-wise girl that could only have come from NY, which is interesting given your Scottish origins – how would you define her?
Graeme Armour: I think when you see the pieces not knotted and loose there is a relaxed feel to it though she still is very tough but I think that's all in the styling which I love. She is the Upper East Side meets downtown with a sporty avant garde approach which I think is very European in a way with NY edge.
If there was an emotion running through the collection – what would that be? Love - you need to love yourself (in a confidence sense) to wear these clothes!

Indian meal moths (also called pantry moths or flour moths) larvae hatch in stored dry goods… flour, grains, seeds, cereal, chocolate, cake mixes, rice, nuts, dried fruit, dog food, birdseed, even tea, herbs and spices.
Adult flour moth & Pupa (left)-Alameda County Community Developement Agency, Adult Moth (right)-USDA Grain Marketing & Production Research Center
Adult flour moths are approx. 2cm, brownish grey with a powdery substance on the wings. The larvae are very tiny and look like very small maggots. They are usually yellow or white with brown heads and measure around 1.5cm. Mediterranean flour moths resemble the indian flour moth and are very similar in appearance and their diet is basically the same. Indications you have them are finding the contents of cereal boxes clinging to the sides of the box in a mass of fine webs… or you find small, brownish moths flitting around inside your cupboard… or tiny cocoons and larvae in your dry goods like flour, pasta or beans.

Habitat and Lifecycle
Flour moths occur worldwide and are a particular pest in grain and flour mills. They can infest your pantry in no time if care is not taken. Control is extremely difficult. Female flour moths can lay 150-600 eggs at a time. They can hatch within 3 days at temperatures higher than 20 C (80 F) Eggs are laid in flour products and larvae feed and spin small loose webs. After feeding larvae pupate in the grains and emerge into adults. The lifecycle can be continuous year round.
Adults and larva-University of Missouri
Diet and Damage
Indian meal moths infest flour, bran, grains, all types of meal, cereals, pet food, livestock feed and other foodstuffs containing flour and grains. Adults do not feed and live only long enough to mate and reproduce. If you see any of them flying around a pet store, don't even think of buying pet foods there and inform the owner. Once you have introduced them in your home, getting rid of them is extremely difficult.
How to get rid of Indian meal moths (a.k.a. "pantry moths" or "flour moths")
- Cupboard Moth Trap – I have successfully used Cupboard Moth Traps like these. They work wherever food is stored. You put the cardboard traps in cabinets and pantries with food; they're non-toxic and free of pesticides. The pheromone lure lasts for about 3 months. When the trap is covered with dead moths you just replace the trap with a new one. For light infestation you can also refresh the pheromone lure. They work great!
- Clean out all your pantries and wipe very well with hot soapy water.
- Line all the cracks and crevices inside the pantry with a sticky substance such as tanglefoot.
- With a q-tip remove and destroy every larvae, egg and pupae that you find.
- Use containers with tight fitting lids.
- In summer months, store your cereals, grains and flour in the fridge to prevent an overpopulation.
- Take all containers with the foodstuffs and place in the freezer for at least five days and then dispose of the foodstuff or feed it to your chickens, they love any kind of bugs.

The Tale of the Tapes
What could my relics possibly have to do with President Nixon's resignation speech? Now bear with me here…..I'm about to change direction in the story but I promise it will all come together in the end. As I tell my students, "Put your blinders on and stay focused."
My parents had many different friends when I was growing up, but one particular couple stood out because they were so extraordinary. Major and Alice lived north of Atlanta and came into town once a month to visit the PX at Fort Macpherson. They would show up at our house late in the afternoon with their car laden with coolers filled with ice and packages of ground beef, chicken, and pork. Their grocery bags, back in the day when everyone used paper, lined up three deep across the seat filled with their provisions for the next month. My mother always fixed dinner for them when they were in town or we would take them out.
Major was not his real name but was his rank upon retiring from the army. He used to tell stories about the OSS, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Of course, he would wink and tell us many of his best stories would go with him to the grave because he'd have to kill us if we knew too much.
Major had grown up in Tennessee and Miss Alice, as my father always referred to her, hailed from Missouri and was a war time registered nurse. What made them so different from my parents and their other friends was the fact that they had lived all over the world and had a much different view of things. They both treated and talked with me as if I was their equal…as if I was already an adult. I always felt grown up when they visited. Miss Alice painted and their house was filled with paintings she had created of Major, their children, and different scenes from their travels. When my parents traveled to Switzerland Miss Alice painted a picture of a ski lodge in the Alps my Mother had fell in love with. I found it amazing that Miss Alice painted the ski lodge from a picture Dad had taken. It still hangs at Dad's house.
The night of August 8, 1974 was one of those memorable visits from Alice and Major. Though I had watched the CBS Evening News with my Dad every night since I was a small child while I finished my homework, I didn't always know exactly what I was looking at and didn't always understand the stories. By 1974, I was twelve and in the seventh grade. I knew what Watergate was about and knew that I was witnessing history.
My Mother had been glued all during the summer of '73 to the nationally televised hearings that began airing May. I remember watching the testimony of John Dean while behind him his beautiful wife sat. One particular day she had on lots of white and she made a starkly pure background to what was a sordid affair. I rememember the lull of Sam Ervin's wonderful southern accent in marked contrast to the gruff sounding G. Gordon Liddy. I knew that some of President's Nixon's staffers had testified that White House meetings and telephone conversations were regularly taped. Once the Nixon White House tapes were finally turned over it was discovered that there was an 18 ½ minute gap of silence on a tape.
Nixon's Chief of Staff at the time, Alexander Haig, stated that "some sinister source" had erased the tape. Yes, that's the same Alexander Haig that announced, "I'm in control here," after the assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan.
Once the House Judiciary Committee had passed the first three articles of impeachment charging President Nixon with obstruction of justice many of the newsmen my Dad watched began to talk of the President's impending resignation.
Major arrived at our house that night wanting to make sure the television was working and told me that the President was going to speak at 8 p.m. Children wouldn't understand the big deal that it was back then because the President speaks now, but they can still get many of their favorite channels on television. In my day when the President spoke every channel (all 3) and every radio station carried it. It couldn't be avoided. I don't know anyone who would have wanted to….back then.
I had received a cassette tape recorder for my birthday, and had set about antagonizing my entire family by hiding it in the bathroom with the record button on, recording records, snipets off the radio, my mom on the phone, and our dinner conversations. While Major spoke with me about the importance of the President's speech he saw that I had my recorder out. He suggested that I record the President's speech. So while he and Dad debated on which channel to watch I plugged in my recorder and had the mike and tape ready to go.
As 8:00 approached Major and my Dad got in their positions in front of the television. My mother and Miss Alice even made an unusual appearance from their normal place around the kitchen table. I situated myself on the pine board floor in front of the television. The same kind of television many people had at the time. Our antenna was constantly decorated with balls and flat pieces of aluminum foil in a vain attempt to receive the best signal. That was before the days of the universal remote when we had to change the television by actually walking over to it and turning a knob. Imagine that! Our knob had disappeared through many years of my sister and I abusing it by seeing who could rip the dial around the fastest. There was always a pair of pliers on top of the television to latch onto the actual rod that changed the channels or sometimes Dad would scrounge an old oven knob that would work until one of us lost it.
Walter Cronkite was on the screen and Major reminded me to begin the tape when I saw the Presidential Seal. Suddenly the seal glimmered on the screen and I hit the record button. President Nixon began his resignation speech.
I remember when the President actually got to the part when he said, "Therefore I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow." Even though they were expecting it there were gasps from all four adults in the room. My mother had tears in her eyes. These four people, all born in the late twenties and early thirties…these four people who had seen the sacrifices our country made during the Great Depression and World War II….these four people who had supported or served in the U.S. Army…these four people who believed in the innocence and good intentions of our government…these four people had been betrayed. Their innocence was gone. Mistrust of government would began to rise steadily with the passing of each generation.
So go back to my old bedroom at my father's as you open that faded blue shoebox. Inside is the tape I made on August 8, 1974. I keep it in the same box with all of my other tapes from that time period because to me the whole unit symbolizes innocence lost. My childish recordings of my dog, Lady, licking my face, my recordings of an unnamed family member in the bathroom, my recordings of one of my Mom's phone conversation with Aunt Boofy and then Aunt Rachel, my recording of my much annoyed sister telling me to leave her alone mixed in with a President's shame, a nation's shock, and innocence regarding the machinations of government lost.
There are several links where you can find out more about Watergate here, here, and here. President Nixon's complete resignation speech can be found here.

Quick comment, EHT, before I rush off to school: Why don't you transfer that speech from the tape to a CD? Then it will last and last...
- Dan Edwards said...
time warp....having to manually turn the tv channel selector knob....ONE of the reasons my Dad always said that he had four kids.....
I remember the CBS Nightly News, with Walter Cronkheit (sp?). But most of what I recall has to do with Vietnam.....body counts, US mission to ....
I was in h.s. when Nixon resigned. It didn't bother me one way or another.....What 14-15 year old boy paid much attention to politics back then?
But, I still have my political button collection, including several from both of Nixon's two presidential campaigns. I recall getting a "Yes on 19" button at a Nixon/Republican rally at our local park in 1968 (CA. Prop 19 was to legalize weed)...and NO, the republicans were not pushing THAT proposition, a variety of OTHER folks were doing that. And the Republicans had all the free ice cream and soda ya wanted at that rally....way cool for a nine year old!
Thanks for sharing some history and jogging my memory banks!
- EHT said...
I probably need to transfer it CTG but it wouldn't be the same.
Your welcome, Polski3. I remember the nightly body counts as well. Wow, I would love to start a political button collection. Do they still make them? I never see them for current candidates.
- Duez said...
Very well written and remembered. It is amazing to think that we were once innocent in America.
- Deb Sistrunk Nelson said...
What a well-written post! As I read this, I felt I was reliving this moment all over again. Protect that tape!!
- Jude said...
I watched Nixon's resignation speech at college in the Alferd Packer Lounge at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It was a surreal experience.
My brother gave money to the McGovern campaign, so I have a McGovern campaign button; Ike rhinestone earrings from when my Aunt Mary was a delegate to the convention that nominated him; a Pat Paulsen for President button; and most recently, magnetic bumper stickers from John Kerry's campaign, given to me by a campaign worker in a hurry.

Logitech is continuing its line of light-powered keyboards with the Wireless Solar Keyboard K760. It has all the features made for syncing with a Mac, iPad, or iPhone: Bluetooth, and Command and various Apple-centric function keys. However, nothing will stop a Windows user from pairing this keyboard with their PC — you'll just have to live without the Windows button.
From it's look alone, the K760 looks like it was meant to be paired with an Apple device between the white keys and the framing silver backdrop. The K760 is similar to the K750 for Mac model Logitech released just last summer. Only this version is smaller — cutting off the numerical keypad. This size lends it as a better portable solution or companion for a tablet device.
Its Bluetooth connection is a diversion from Logitech's usual Unifying USB dongle method, which closes this keyboard off from any computer not equipped with Bluetooth. But, it also opens the K760 up for use with devices that have few or no USB ports. The K760 may be paired with up to 3 devices, of which you can switch between them seamlessly via one of the 3 keys located at the top of the keyboard.
The K760 charges by any kind of light, indoors or out. The long, dark horizontal strip at the top of the keyboard takes in light to charge the internal battery. There's no word on how long the keyboard can last if not being charged by a light source, however, Logitech promises that the K760 will continue to change even in the lowest lamp light.
The Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is currently available for preorder on Logitech's site for $79.99.

Roenicke's son converts to coaching in Crew's system
MILWAUKEE -- The son of Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is following dad into the coaching ranks.
Lance Roenicke, 25, was informed at the end of Spring Training that the Brewers didn't have a spot for him in their Minor League system, which is relatively rich with outfielders. But farm director Reid Nichols offered him an opportunity to be a player/coach at Class A Wisconsin, with no plans to play unless the Timber Rattlers find themselves in a bind.
After discussing it with his dad, Lance accepted the job. Manager Matt Erickson's team is scheduled to open its season at home on Thursday, weather permitting.
"If he wants to do it, he's going to be a really good coach," Ron Roenicke said. "He knows where I was, going all over the country, and I don't know if that's going to be [what he wants]. But he would like to coach high school or college. If he loves this, maybe he'll do this."
Lance Roenicke was a 25th-round pick of the Brewers in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft and topped out last season at Class A Advanced Brevard County. He batted .243 with seven home runs and 41 RBIs in 123 Minor League games in 2012 and '13.
"After the first day, he started talking a little bit more, and then a couple of days later, he was really appreciative of having the opportunity to play professionally," Ron Roenicke said. "That was his dream. You put all this time and work into doing it, and he got the opportunity to do it a couple of years, so it was great."

I started my quest for the perfect recipe organization plan by looking at computer programs. I've been using Betty Crocker's Cook'n for several years, and was satisfied with it for a long time. But now that I have both an iphone and an ipad, I wanted more. I don't like to drag my laptop into the kitchen, forever afraid of splattering egg on the keyboard, but I often slip my ipad into a gallon-size ziplock bag, and use it to display my recipes while I cook. Anyway, I wanted something that would:
• Sync all information between my PC, phone & ipad, and be available offline, too
• Accept scanned images, and index them with OCR automatically
• Easily grab recipes from websites
• Allow tags to organize, and be every word searchable
• Easily include photographs
• Have the ability to print individual recipes, or entire collections
• Be easy to share
While I kept thinking that the program I was looking for had to be specific to cooking, the more I looked, the more I couldn't find anything that met all my requirements...Until one day when I was working on some genealogy research, clipping images and saving them into my Evernote folders, that it dawned on me. Evernote would be perfect!

Consolidate everything into one site.
When you ask a question, there should just be a DropDown list where you may specify what area it belongs.

Due to demand in the area, Dramatic Academy Summer has expanded to include a Show Choir camp! What we have discovered is that a few people aren't sure what it is! Ever seen Glee? Well, that's sort of the idea. A show choir piece has all the bells, whistles, singing, and dancing – but none of the dialogue! Here's how Wikipedia describes it: "A show choir (originally called "swing choir") is a group of people who combine choral singing with dance, sometimes within the context of a specific idea or story." Several of our local area high schools have show choirs that compete at the regional, state, and even national level including Hampden Academy, Ellsworth High School, and Hermon High School.
Show choir traces its origins as an activity in the United States to the mid-1960s, though cultural historians have been unable to determine the date and location of the first "true" show choir group. Two groups of touring performers, starting with The Young Americans in 1962 and followed by Up with People in 1968, traveled extensively throughout the country in the 1960s and 1970s, performing what could be called the show choir concept. When students and directors of the day saw these organizations, they would, in turn, start similar groups at their high schools.
Characteristics of a performance
Most show choir "shows" or "sets" consist of a variety of songs, often including several choreographed, fast-paced pieces and one slower piece performed with limited or no choreography. This slower number—usually a ballad—exists primarily to showcase the ensemble's singing ability. More often than not, the a cappella selection is also the ballad, as it is much easier to sing unaccompanied while holding relatively still.
"Show Choir Camp" at PTC will be a boot camp for those wanting to learn what it takes to become a "real life" Glee member! Colin Graebert will join the PTC faculty as Musical Director. Colin has worked with both middle and high school show choirs all over the state as a musical director, accompanist, pit conductor, and arranger. Mr. Graebert will work with students on individual vocal technique as well as with the group to focus on choral singing.
Directing the group will be PTC Director of
Education and Outreach Jasmine Ireland. Ms. Ireland has been performing or working with show choirs from all over the state for the past twenty years. Jasmine has received numerous state and national awards for her direction, staging, and choreography of show choirs.
To become part of this exciting new group, please visit our website and check out "Summer Camp" under the Education page: PTC DRAMATIC ACADEMY SUMMER!
For further info or questions, please contact our Director of Education Jasmine Ireland at firstname.lastname@example.com or 947-6618 ext. 104.

Climate Change and Waste
Climate and life cycle of stuff
Making smart choices about what we buy, how we use it, and how we dispose of it can make a big difference in the amount of waste we produce and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our consumption. The manufacture, distribution and use of the goods and food we rely on in our daily lives—as well as management of the resulting waste—all require energy. This energy mostly comes from fossil fuels, which are the largest global source of heat-trapping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
In every stage of the life cycle, we can reduce our impact. Click on the Life Cycle of Stuff to learn about the greenhouse gas emissions that result from each step in a product's life cycle. Find out what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint.
Climate and waste statistics
Find tools and information on:
- reducing GHGs through materials management
- measuring greenhouse gas emissions from waste (WARM)
- state climate action plans
- and much more
The 2009 report, Opportunities to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Materials and Land Management Practices (PDF) (98pp, 1.5MB About PDF), shows that approximately 42 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are associated with the energy used to produce, process, transport, and dispose of the food we eat and the goods we use. This includes the extraction or harvest of materials and food, production and transport of goods, provision of services, reuse of materials, recycling, composting, and disposal. The report also indicates the following:
- 29 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions result from the provision of goods produced within the United States.
- The provision of food contributes another 13 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
- Traditional "waste" management represents 1 to 5 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Beautiful stage pictures and flawless dancing highlight Joffrey Ballet Chicago's traditional Don Quixote
Entering the Auditorium Theatre, we see a projected image of an ancient woodcut surrounded by Latin words printed in old English overlayed with the familiar silhouette of a lanky man accompanied by a very short man, undeniably Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
The opening image is just the first instance of the use of multimedia, including projections of etchings and blade-turning windmills, and a vivid thunderstorm, that enhance this very traditional ballet. Set and lighting design by Jack Mehler and animated projections by Wendall Harrington are part of the evening's highlights.
In the opening scene establishing Don Quixote, we see projections of his visions fly past. Very creative. Fabrice Calmels cuts a striking figure in the title role. His height sets him apart from the rest of the ensemble, especially his squire, Sancho Panza.
Unfortunately, the title character is relegated to being a spectator in this version. Granted, Don Quixote is typically a character role somewhere between Dr. Coppelius and Rothbart, often played by a senior member of the company (George Balanchine played the part in the New York City Ballet production), but if you are casting one of the Joffrey's leading dancers in the part, might he be given something more than a pas de bourre to execute? Calmels must be content with the exaggerated gestures and mime established in the 19th century, hindering our ability to have much sympathy for the character.
Likewise, Sancho Panza, energetically portrayed by Derrick Agnoletti, languishes in the 19th century when buffoonery and pratfalls were considered cute and funny, but now seem a little ho-hum.
This ballet is actually about the love affair of Kitri, who is also the embodiment of Quixote's dream Dulcinea, and Basilio, the local barber. Kitri is beautifully danced by Victoria Jaiani. She is always sparkling and exuding the joy of dancing. Basilio is wonderfully performed by guest artist Carlos Quenedit, who displays technical prowess, fine acting ability, and physical strength. (He impressively holds Jaiaini over his heard with one hand while she takes her time executing a develope a la seconde.)
Joffrey ballet master Willy Shives plays Kitri's father, Lorenzo the innkeeper, who is bent on keeping the lovers apart. Shives performs with his usual precision and enthusiasm.
A subplot involves Temur Suluashvili as Espada, a famous toreador, and Alexis Polito, as a street dancer. Suluashvili is most convincing in his opening dances with the toreadors, who execute a flashy cape dance with great penache. Polito performed with sultry assurance, and her second act dress was amazing, thanks to costumer Travis Halsey, whose costumes throughout helped to make the visuals beautiful.
In general, the corps de ballet showed a well rehearsed precision. Ballet masters Nicolas Blanc and Graca Sales are to be congratulated.
Yumellia Garcia was great fun as the spritely Amore, complete with bow and arrow. So perfectly quick to dart and prance, she is hard to imagine as the Kitri in alternate performances. Her scene as Amore is part of Quixote's vision of Dulcinea, which takes place in a forest where the obligatory dance for the female corps de ballet performs the swan/willie/this time dryad dance in long white romantic tutus. But the patterns are nice and the corps danced well.
Rocinante, Don Quixote's faithful horse makes a few appearances. Designed by Vonorthal Puppets, the horse made an appealing addition to the mighty band of three. Horses are quite in vogue onstage these days, what with the War Horse puppets a big hit on Broadway. Did he do a pas de cheval?
Other minor characters included Gimache, an affected fop with a costume that would be admired by Lady Gaga. Matthew Adamczyk played this part well, providing the humor for the evening. His capers were a riot. Amber Neumann stood out as one of Kitri's friends.
Yes, the Joffrey Ballet Chicago is presenting a classical ballet, basically Marius Petipa's original choreography. From that viewpoint, the production is beautifully crafted by choreographer Yuri Possokhov. There is some thought that with the announcement of a world premiere and a reworking of the ballet, the updating, in addition to the multimedia used in the setting, might also involve more real adventure for the title character and involvement for Mr Calmels' talents.

International bank HSBC reported on Tuesday that a recently-resigned employee walked away with crucial customer information in July of 2012.
The information included HSBC customers' names, phone numbers, account numbers and account types.
HSBC is a global bank with 6,900 offices across 84 countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas, Middle East and Africa. The company boasts 60 million customers across a wide range of banking services, from retail such as checking to private global banking.
At the time of reporting, HSBC had drafted a letter to customers informing them that their information was stolen but it was unclear whether the letter had been sent. HSBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Neither the letter, nor the report, specified what types or how many customers were affected by the theft.
California law requires businesses to report data breaches to the state. Though HSBC's breach happened on July 27th, 2012, HSBC reported the incident on Tuesday.
The letter does not state why it took so long to report the breach.
If a letter notifying customers of a breach is sent to more than 500 California residents the business must give a copy to the California Attorney General.
In the customer letter, HSBC offered a one year subscription to the credit monitoring service ITAC Sentinel, so customers could know if someone used their information for fraudulent purposes.
This is not the first time HSBC has been in the news for a data breach. The company admitted in March of 2010 that a former employee had stolen customer data.

IBM Introduces Cloud-Based Social Media Analytics Capabilities for Marketers
New software informs and enables marketers with actionable insight
Mar 24, 2011, 10:00 ET
ARMONK, N.Y., March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today launched new, cloud-based software designed to help marketers gain real-time, actionable insight from data available across social media channels.

The new software expands IBM's business analytics capabilities by enabling organizations to develop faster, more precise social media marketing programs that support their brand's total online presence through a cloud-based delivery model.
The first product, IBM Coremetrics Social, helps companies analyze the business impact of their social marketing initiatives, while IBM Unica Pivotal Veracity Email Optimization Suite analyzes email links that are shared across social network platforms, enabling marketers to better capitalize on opportunities across channels.
Today's news follows IBM's recent announcement of new software and the creation of a new consulting practice dedicated to the emerging category of "Smarter Commerce," which is focused on helping companies swiftly adapt to rising customer demands in today's digitally transformed marketplace. Smarter Commerce includes new cloud analytics software that enables companies to monitor their brand's presence in real-time through social media channels to better assess the effectiveness of new services and product offerings, fine tune marketing campaigns, and create sales initiatives in real-time.
"IBM's approach to social media analytics is based on the understanding that people interact with an organization's brand in a number of ways—including email, social networking sites and company Web sites—and the true measure of business impact demands a fully integrated view of the interaction with these resources," said John Squire, chief strategy officer, IBM Coremetrics. "The new social media analytics software unveiled today will help marketers develop more targeted, highly-measurable, and effective social media marketing campaigns."
IBM Coremetrics Social enables organizations across a wide range of industries to measure the effectiveness and return on investment (ROI) of their social marketing initiatives by gaining insight from data that's publicly available on social media websites.
This Smarter Commerce offering delivers real-time intelligence on the social media response to a particular brand, or the products, content and services being offered, and enables clients to make fact-based, accurate decisions about marketing expenditures. As a result, marketing teams can easily attribute business impact to social referrals in the context of other marketing programs.
Using the analytics foundation of the Coremetrics Continuous Optimization Platform™ and its complete suite of marketing optimization applications, IBM Coremetrics Social provides cross-channel reporting and benchmark capabilities to track and improve social marketing campaigns. With social benchmarking, brands can evaluate the effectiveness of their social initiatives relative to their peer companies, and understand where they excel, and where there is opportunity for improvement.
It has become routine for social networks to be used as a resource to broadly share links to special offers made available by companies via email. Well-known brands can expect to see as much as 38 percent of their special offer email links shared across social networks. An average of 28 percent of these links is then 'liked' or commented on.
The new IBM Unica Pivotal Veracity Email Optimization suite tracks and analyzes email links that are shared across social network platforms, delivering actionable insights which marketers can turn into recognizable profit. Unlike other technologies, this new offering opens the doors for marketers to identify, track, and improve the perception of their brands across channels. The Social Email Analytics software tracks all links associated with a marketer's brand and email, not just the intended links a marketer shares. This approach better encompasses and reflects the emerging complexities and ramifications of consumer interactions with brands, starting with email and ending up in the social realm. With this new software, marketers can also hone Web pages for social networks and better identify opportunities across channels.

Where Does Our Drinking Water Come From?
Ever wonder where your drinking water comes from or what is in it? How about ways to conserve water use and save money? Well this is the place to answer those and many other questions.
The City of Grand Prairie purchases most of its water from Dallas and Fort Worth. Of the purchased water, 90% comes from Dallas while the remaining portion comes from Fort Worth and services the northwest portion of town.
During most summers, the city has to turn on its groundwater wells to keep up with the demand brought about by warm weather. These wells typically service the areas of town that are within a 1–2 mile radius.
The water that Fort Worth delivers to Grand Prairie is taken from lakes Benbrook, Bridgeport, Eagle Mountain, and Worth and the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers Reservoirs. Dallas treats water from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and lakes Ray Roberts, Lewisville, Grapevine, Ray Hubbard and Tawakoni. Click the below to see a map of these lakes.
Water Treatment
Since the City of Grand Prairie purchases all of its surface water, we do not have a water treatment plant.
The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have treatment plants that treat and disinfect water to make it potable.

"For sheer drama, no age compares to the age of exploration, no explorers compare to the conquistadors and no conquistador compares to Hernan Cortes. In Buddy Levy's finely wrought and definitive Conquistador, the worlds of Cortes and Montezuma collide and come to life. Five hundred years after the conquest, the Cadillo and his prey have been made human. To read Conquistador is to see, hear and feel two cultures in a struggle to the death with nothing less than the fate of the western hemisphere at stake. Prodigiously researched and stirringly told, Conquistador is a rarity: an invaluable history lesson that also happens to be a page-turning read."—Jeremy Schaap, best-selling author of Cinderella Man: James J. Braddock, Max Baer and the Greatest Upset in Boxing History, and Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler's Olympics
"Sweeping and majestic…A pulse-quickening narrative."—Neal Bascomb, author of Red Mutiny: Eleven Fateful Days on the Battleship Potemkin
"A century before the Mayflower, a single man settled the destiny of the Americas far more momentously than the Puritans ever could….Conquistador offers a fascinating account of the first and most decisive of those encounters: the one between the impetuous Spanish adventurer Cortés and Montezuma, the ill-starred emperor of the Aztecs…. [An] almost unbelievable story of missionary zeal, greed, cruelty and courage."—Wall Street Journal
"Drawing heavily on both Spanish and Aztec sources…. [Levy stresses] the military strategy, diplomatic initiaitves, and personal relationship between Cortés and Aztec emperor Montezuma…. Well-written…. Highly recommended."—Library Journal, starred review
"A fateful meeting of civilizations…. Cortes is front and center in this book…. [Levy's] description of the final siege on Tenochtitlan is especially dramatic."—Associated Press
